- 0:03Speaker 1: Right floors open. Yeah, we was, hey feeling by the
- 0:11Speaker 1: way that you see the game restating so far this
- 0:13Speaker 1: week to.
- 0:13Speaker 2: Get up as Uh, yeah, I think the team responded well.
- 0:16Speaker 2: We had a great day of practice yesterday. Everybody came
- 0:19Speaker 2: up flying around and practice was really physical.
- 0:22Speaker 1: I think we're ready, you know for Thursday.
- 0:26Speaker 3: Did your coach always talks about every game's a championship opportunity,
- 0:29Speaker 3: but he sounded like this one was a little urgent.
- 0:31Speaker 1: Do you feel in the urgency this week? Yes, Uh,
- 0:34Speaker 1: we certainly do. We need to win. We need to win.
- 0:36Speaker 2: We need to put a couple of wins together, stack
- 0:38Speaker 2: 'em together, and uh, we need this one for sure.
- 0:41Speaker 1: This is gonna be a huge game for us.
- 0:44Speaker 3: Jaring, what's the process been like getting to to learn
- 0:46Speaker 3: how to play alongside Leonard the last few weeks and
- 0:49Speaker 3: figuring his.
- 0:49Speaker 1: Game out once first. Oh, it's been being pretty easy.
- 0:52Speaker 2: Uh.
- 0:53Speaker 1: I think I told him another day, I said, man,
- 0:54Speaker 1: it feels like you been here all season.
- 0:56Speaker 2: Lennard's a baller, and uh, I think me and him
- 0:58Speaker 2: inside are pretty decent. You know, we made a put
- 1:00Speaker 2: couple of players last week where we tacked the same
- 1:03Speaker 2: guy together. We was joking while making the tackle. I
- 1:06Speaker 2: mean it's good to play with guys like that. Fears strong,
- 1:09Speaker 2: fast competitor, got great motor. I mean, yeah, you can't
- 1:12Speaker 2: do no truck belove that.
- 1:13Speaker 1: What do you seen it from Draymond Jones and the
- 1:15Speaker 1: times where he's been on the edge. Yeah, oh great,
- 1:18Speaker 1: it's great. I think it was a good move for him. Uh.
- 1:20Speaker 1: He's got great size, great power, uh and quickness.
- 1:23Speaker 2: Uh to go out there and to be a mismatch
- 1:25Speaker 2: versus tackles.
- 1:27Speaker 3: W what's a what's the challenge this Dallas offense creates
- 1:30Speaker 3: for for you along the line of scrimmage?
- 1:32Speaker 1: Uh? But that I think they do a good job
- 1:33Speaker 1: of getting the ball out.
- 1:34Speaker 2: They have a great run game, a good offensive line,
- 1:37Speaker 2: and their scheme is very well and uh, we gonna
- 1:39Speaker 2: have to c tryna control that and control the run game.
- 1:42Speaker 2: And I think as long as we do that and
- 1:43Speaker 2: execute our plays, we'll do pretty good.
- 1:45Speaker 1: You know that Tony Pollarter is just gonna run downhill
- 1:48Speaker 1: and and run into guys. Does it make it easier
- 1:51Speaker 1: to tackle a guy like that where you.
- 1:53Speaker 3: Know where he's going.
- 1:55Speaker 2: Uh, As long as we get there and make the tackle, firm, tackle, wrap,
- 1:59Speaker 2: up and do see how I think be okay, Tony
- 2:01Speaker 2: Pop is a great player and he made his name
- 2:03Speaker 2: in his leaguing home and uh, we just gotta do
- 2:06Speaker 2: that for everybody. They go to him da CD whoever
- 2:08Speaker 2: gets the ball hit.
- 2:10Speaker 1: The tackling has been something that's popped up as a
- 2:12Speaker 1: problem for the last few weeks. What do you think
- 2:15Speaker 1: that is?
- 2:15Speaker 3: It's that young guy's not taking the extra step?
- 2:17Speaker 2: Is it fatigue?
- 2:18Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 2:18Speaker 2: Sometimes you know you gotta take each step. I think
- 2:21Speaker 2: it's we can go look for a kill shot too
- 2:23Speaker 2: many times versus making the actual plays and making it
- 2:26Speaker 2: secure in the pla uh, secure in the tackle, making
- 2:28Speaker 2: nothing for sure tackle.
- 2:30Speaker 1: So that does come with taking the intra step. If
- 2:32Speaker 1: they're running his zone.
- 2:33Speaker 2: Away with the ends closing down, they coming through the hole,
- 2:36Speaker 2: you know, getting a good base in and wrapping up
- 2:39Speaker 2: and taking the seat out.
- 2:42Speaker 1: How do you teach that though to a young guy
- 2:44Speaker 1: where you're you don't wanna take away their aggressiveness, but
- 2:47Speaker 1: you gotta play funded on football. Yeah, Uh, start some practice.
- 2:50Speaker 2: So we go back to practice, go back to the
- 2:52Speaker 2: drawing board, football one on one and we'll bring some
- 2:54Speaker 2: tackling drills back out. Just so you can get there,
- 2:56Speaker 2: and then you gotta put emphasis on taking intra step.
- 2:59Speaker 2: So when you know we're in practice on the days
- 3:01Speaker 2: were outpassed, those are with me key days where you gotta, yeah,
- 3:04Speaker 2: use your imagination where you gotta go in.
- 3:06Speaker 1: You gotta take the next step. You gotta get down
- 3:08Speaker 1: with a good base, and you gotta wrap up and
- 3:10Speaker 1: fly by. That's what we call it. Fly by, Sharon.
- 3:13Speaker 3: What's this Thursday to Thursday kind of we doing for
- 3:16Speaker 3: you guys? Being a little bit different. Usually when you
- 3:18Speaker 3: do have the Thursday, they give you at least get
- 3:20Speaker 3: a couple days off of the weekend before coming back
- 3:22Speaker 3: going seven days later. How uh, how different does.
- 3:24Speaker 1: That make things? Uh, it's weird.
- 3:25Speaker 2: I forgot what days with which days at this point. Yeah,
- 3:29Speaker 2: so uh, it's very different. But you know, we gotta
- 3:32Speaker 2: adjust to have the schedule how it is. You know,
- 3:34Speaker 2: we can't control that. We gotta control what we can
- 3:36Speaker 2: and we gotta get ready to play. You know, It's
- 3:38Speaker 2: it's tough. We got a good little run here and
- 3:41Speaker 2: we just gotta stick it out and we gotta tough
- 3:43Speaker 2: it through. They did really good at all obviously for
- 3:46Speaker 2: the last couple of years, what what's gonna be sort
- 3:48Speaker 2: of the keep for you guys to kind of get
- 3:49Speaker 2: started fast. Uh, yeah, that you just said it. We
- 3:51Speaker 2: gotta go in. We gotta start fast. We gotta start fast.
- 3:54Speaker 2: We gotta execute on both sides of the ball, especially
- 3:57Speaker 2: third downs. You know, offense, you know, can't respeak on them,
- 4:00Speaker 2: but I can say as long as they get themagicable
- 4:02Speaker 2: third downs, they should be good. As long as we
- 4:04Speaker 2: get them the ball, Uh, create some turnovers, hold their
- 4:07Speaker 2: exp uh exposive plays down and h I think we
- 4:10Speaker 2: get going and control the clock.
- 4:13Speaker 1: What if you thought of the the aspression the last
- 4:15Speaker 1: few years. Ah, things they're pretty good. You know. We
- 4:17Speaker 1: gotta get we gotta get.
- 4:19Speaker 2: The teams behind the sticks so we can you know,
- 4:22Speaker 2: really love passwords, go get after guys.
- 4:24Speaker 1: Uh.
- 4:24Speaker 2: We been kind of give a few yards here and there,
- 4:26Speaker 2: letting 'em get the third and shorts. We need more
- 4:28Speaker 2: thirty long downs, you know, thirty and six and above,
- 4:31Speaker 2: so we can really go get 'em and with nobody
- 4:33Speaker 2: can none of the quarterbacks could just throw short throws
- 4:36Speaker 2: or get the other toming throws where they try to
- 4:38Speaker 2: run rocks to the sticks.
- 4:40Speaker 3: Did you grow up watching the Cowboys. Did you grow
- 4:43Speaker 3: up watching the Cowboys? They had a lot of'em play
- 4:45Speaker 3: there for a number of years.
- 4:46Speaker 1: Yeah, they do. I grew up still as fans believe
- 4:48Speaker 1: it or not, but that that's just me.
- 4:51Speaker 2: But uh, you know, I grew up just watching football period,
- 4:54Speaker 2: and uh, you know, the most I remember Cowboys will
- 4:57Speaker 2: probably be like Larry Allen and Emmitt Smith and the
- 5:00Speaker 2: old Tony Romo and Mike Irving, those type guys.
- 5:03Speaker 1: How'd you get to rooting for the Steelers? Uh? I
- 5:06Speaker 1: don't know. It was growing up washing them. And the
- 5:08Speaker 1: thing was just the defense.
- 5:09Speaker 2: Their defense was just so stout and and they was
- 5:12Speaker 2: rough and it's tough.
- 5:13Speaker 1: It was you know, physical football, and that's why I like,
- 5:17Speaker 1: I remember a lot of battles between them and the Ravens.
- 5:20Speaker 2: It was lit but kind of the way that you guys,
- 5:23Speaker 2: y'all to y'alla play to explow down South in that offense, absolutely,
- 5:27Speaker 2: we gotta played fast, physical, sound football. You know, Like
- 5:31Speaker 2: as I said before, we got limited explosive plays. We
- 5:33Speaker 2: gotta create turnovers to get the offensive ball and we
- 5:35Speaker 2: got got the field 'em third down.
- 5:39Speaker 1: Good alright, thanks making h
