• 0:31
  Speaker 1: when you had a chance to watch it back and
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: see kind of how.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: You guys held up? What I took away from the
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: first game, you know, is always areas for improvement. You know,
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: obviously we got to get better. You know, as far
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: as just, you know, from every standpoint, playing the run,
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: you know, pass rushing, communicating. But also, you know, what
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: I learned is, like, from this team so far, just
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: playing in the first game is that, you know, we're
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: going to fight. We're going to fight to the end, man.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: And no matter what, you know, no matter what we're
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: going through, no matter, you know, You know, what's going
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: on in the game, what type of adversity it is.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: We're going to continue to fight to that clock, say 0-0.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: I don't know if it's important is the word, but
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: getting past that first game, you know, training camp, all this,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: you get the first game. What was it like?
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: And then looking at the film, kind of what? Say
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: it one more time? Looking at the film after the.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: First game, it's a little bit what Curtis is talking about.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: The importance after the first game, what did you kind
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: of see when you looked at your performance your.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: Play uh looking at my play i feel like uh
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: i need to be you know more vertical in a
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: run game like getting more knockback uh i feel like
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: at times i was a little bit too lateral so
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: just being more vertical and also to uh i say
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: just getting to the football you know just running more
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: to the ball and uh and really like trying to
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: stack my rushes as well even even though you know
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: i feel like I didn't have that many, you know, ops,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: you know, ops as far as rushing, because, you know,
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: they were doing a lot of quick game and stuff
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: like that, just getting the ball out fast, but things
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: like that, though. Go ahead, Bob. It didn't seem like
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: they really tried to switch things up from what they
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: had done in the Super Bowl at all against you guys. Oh, yeah.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: From the Super Bowl, they did, like, a lot of
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: drop-back pass more. It was a lot of, you know, shotgun,
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: but I feel like this, you know, this past last week,
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: I feel like they, you know, they tried to try
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: not to, you know, get in shotgun, try to get
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: away from it, trying to make the game, you know,
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: a simple game as far as, like, just continuing, like,
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: to run the ball, trying to move the ball forward,
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: little screen passes here and there, quick game, perimeter, perimeter
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: stuff like that. But, you know, I feel like, you know,
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: as we continue, you know, to put pressure on them
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: and then also, too, just going into that second half,
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: you know, When we tied the game up, I knew then, like,
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: we had them on the ropes. Like, they ain't had
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: no choice but to go drop that pass, and that's
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: something that they didn't want to do because they know,
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: you know, we're going to get out there quarterback.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: You guys obviously didn't play in the preseason at all.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: For the fourth quarter to go the way that it did,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: you guys with the pass rush coming alive, the turnover
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: was kind of kicking.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: To have that much life late in the game, having
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: not had the stamina of multiple games kind of, what
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: did that kind of say about you guys? I mean,
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: I feel like, you know, that's what training comes for.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: I feel like we prepare, you know, for them type
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: of moments, so. When that moment came up to where
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: we had to either get a stop or stop them
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: from scoring, I feel like it wasn't nothing to it.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: I feel like we prepare. That's how we practice. That's
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: how we prep each and every day. Coach might put
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: us in situations like that during practice and during training
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: camp to where we get in the game. It's nothing.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Is it frustrating at all when a team just goes
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: that quick and doesn't really give you– obviously they gave
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: you chances late, but when they don't really give you
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: a whole lot of chances?
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: It could be frustrating, but you know, you know, you
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: just gotta, you know, you gotta play the game, you know,
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: however they want to play. You gotta pretty much, you gotta,
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: you gotta play that game until, you know, until you
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: able to switch that game up and really just wait
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: for the opportunity. You know, like, like I said, like
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: once we tied that game up, we knew, okay, they
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: finna go drop that pass. Now it's time to rush,
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: you know, put pressure on Drake May. That's when you
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: start seeing all the turnovers, you know, the picks and
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: everything like that. So it can get a bit frustrating,
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: but you know, you just gotta play the game, just
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: stay the course.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Do you have any quick game perimeter stuff?
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah. How big is the way your DBs tackle in
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: that situation? Oh, it's huge, man, because, you know, when
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: the ball gets on the perimeter, you know, you got
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: the corners, then the safety, they're the last line of defense. So,
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: for them to, you know, make open field tackles and,
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: you know, it's such big of a space, you know,
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: that's very important, man. It's also, too, like, us, you know,
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: just pursuant to the ball, you know, all that's important because,
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: you know, even though they end up, you said they
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: might miss the tackle or something like that, you know,
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: That's why we there too, you know, to pursue the
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: ball and things like that. Do you have any new
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: movie recommendations after your time off this weekend? Actually, I
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: ain't watched no movies. I ain't watched none, but I'm
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: going to get back to it, though.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: With the offense going through some adversity, losing Sam, not
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: knowing when he's going to be back, does that add
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: any more responsibility for you guys on the defensive side
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: of the ball, motivate you guys to play even better
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: to help out your offense?
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: No, I feel like it's the same. I feel like
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Drew is prepared, just like Sam. We're going to go
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: into this week with the same mindset, and that's to win.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: I feel like we're going to be prepared. I feel
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: like Drew is going to be prepared, even the offense,
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: and we're going to be ready. We're going to be
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: ready to go. Anything else? Thank you.
