• 0:36
  Speaker 3: in turn herby even though you weren't here. Turn herbys
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: were tough to come by. Last year, that didn't get
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: very many. Put it that gonna be the mentality of uh,
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: the way you played out.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: I thintally that's the that's the stable of a really
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: good defense. What a great defense getting the ball back.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: So we we pride ourselves on getting the ball back
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: and being physical. So we did a really good job
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: today getting the ball back. But uh, hopefully those come
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: in a bunch of so but like I said, we
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: thought we got a lot of things to clean up,
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: you know, but it was good.
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: Evince so much talked about here knowing adversity and you
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: got funny out of it today.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: Right, tell me between maybe a short field or the delay.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: I mean, how do you guys think you handled some
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: of those movements really good? Like I said, we just
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: played our our game up then we just just you know,
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: fell back on our training and did a really good
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: job with those little situations. So coach Liam, he touched
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: on it. We did a really good job with that.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: But that's just a testament to our preparation, you know,
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: in the training camp and and late leading.
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: To this week.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: So I feel like if we did a really good
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: job with those those stoppas, I'm glad we got to work.
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: What do you do during the delay?
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: We just stretched and we looked at film, We looked
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: at some plays that we got to clean up at
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: different things like that, but we stayed ready.
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: Sordan moves some mentality there as far as coming out
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: of the delay, The defense gotta stop the offense put
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: ten points on the board. So it's the whole idea
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: to come out fast.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, come out fast, get a turnover. So the office
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: go out there and put some points on the board.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: And that's what we did. And it felt really good
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: going going out there and executing our plans. So it
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: felt good to see that we can play complimentary football,
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: get some stops, and then the office can run o'clock
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: and you know, get some school. So it really felt
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: good today.
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: The way we play.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Is this the type of defense that you want to
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: show each Sunday?
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: Absolutely?
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, But like I said, it's always things that if
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: we can improve on, but it's always that standard. So
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: we started to set the standard pretty high and we
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: gotta k keep the standard every week.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: New defense for you. How do you feel like you
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: could at an.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Uh I d I I. I had a l I
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: had a lot of mistakes, uh passing the ferience car,
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: I don't know, kind of iffy, but Morfo was good
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: at call, you know, getting those calls. But it's some
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: things that I need to clean up. Absolutely, but I
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: feel like I did a really good job, you know,
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: just getting the ball back and being aggressive. So that's
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: all I can ask for in my play, just you
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: know and watch the film and see what I can
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: you know, clean up.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Finally seeing Travis Hunter offense and defense in an actual
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: regular season game, just as you know, what are his
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: I see those friends, you know, leader in the red
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: more was that like.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Uh, it's good to see him get his feed wet.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Hopefully you know he can he can a you can
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: build on that and uh see what he can do
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: with that and uh and see where he fits on
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: offense and defense. Uh, where he can make plays on
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: both sides of the ball and affect the game. So
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: I'm I'm excited. You know, he got his first win,
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: so that that should be a h and he got
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: the ball in his hands, and then that should be
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: a you know, a confidence booster for me.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Is it a confidence space now to start winning out
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: the Absolutely?
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: But we got a really cold up challenge, you know
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: away going going to Cincinnati, and I feel like, uh,
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: we just gotta you know, watch the film, see what
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: we did good, and see what we did bad? Clean
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: up and we gotta we got a really good challenge,
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: you know.
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: Difference that first off, the grass troup man talk to us,
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: walk us through the big run, nice moves on it,
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: like take us through it.
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: Uh So, first off, there was the my first officer
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: player after the uh rain delay, so I felt like
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: I really should have stretched a little more before I
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: got out there. But now, uh, I remember Strange coming
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: across getting a great block for me. I just kind
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: of set that up. Then I've seen the safety kind
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: of made a move off of him, and then I
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: was just running and I had the ball in my
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: right or which all I had in my left arm.
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: But I've seen Dianmi coming with a great block. Uh.
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: I slowed down a little too much cause I I
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: ain't had a long run in forever, so like you know,
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: I should look up at the score, the clock, the
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: the jumbo, trying to see where the finish was at.
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: I kind of lost track of the I could just running.
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: He was just running and then just got my out
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: on Yambie and uh he did a great job, great block.
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: He really got me from me a couple more yards
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: and I gotta I gotta get twenty more yards on
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: that man. I've seen I got a twenty miles power,
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: but clearly that's not enough, so I gotta get in there. Monday,
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: hit some ten eighties. Keep working on my speed because
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: we can't have that no more. We gotta finish those runs.
• 4:24

  Speaker 4: for and uh, just knowing that I put the work in,
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: just was out there, was able to just play free.

• 4:47
  Speaker 4: the work that I put in this offseason. And uh,
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: and it just showed up when the breakfast life was
• 4:51

• 4:55
  Speaker 4: days coming, man, you know, just be a being a competitor,
• 4:58
