  Speaker 1: What'd you says?
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: I think we played alright, I mean I don't think
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: we played to our standard. I mean we could do
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: make way more better plays and stuff like that. So
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: I just think we gotta be better on defense for sure.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: But I think we played a DC game.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Why do you think does that happen?
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: I mean, we gave up too many points, to be honest,
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: and then we was in the quarterback get outside, scrambl around.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: We wasn't placiterund staying on our man, and they was
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: they was able to create plays when they needed 'em.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: So and and and and and.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: It bought down to all being a close game. So
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: it was like, we gotta be better on defense for sure.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Woulda been to that neck even more?
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: Just what he's playing, I mean he doing everything we
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: we wanted him to do. I mean, I mean you
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: can't it's really hard to describe, cause like br brud
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: See's full a rookie, like he'd be big at f
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: like you know what I'm saying.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: So it's like it's really nothing he can't do.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: So it's like our expectation for him high and it's
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: and it's gonna be high or how long he ever
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: be here. So what he made on the third and
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: long word spirits rehearse field chay with I.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Just that's just a great ever play.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: I mean, we appreciate every day in the defensive meeting
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: room like ways to the football bro, Like always have
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: your teammate bat out there. So that's just a prime
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: example of that way to get to the ball when
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: when stuff happens, we got to get the ball down
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: and give ourselves another shot. So so wear so many
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: different hats on this defense and they can gradually adding.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: So how have you seen him.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: Take to that sense? Especially when he had several games
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: and he missed an injury kind of that stole that
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: progress a little bit.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: I mean, did he takes it as a challenge? You
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. He knows.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: You know, he's been asked a lot. So it's like
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: he studied real well. He asked a lot of questions
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: like when we have to you know, after meetings and stuff.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: He could stay after ask extra questions and stuff just
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: to make sure you know his assignments and stuff like that.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Like you he said, you just asked him and doing
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: a lot. You're playing a lot of different positions.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: But you feel me when you that size and you
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: who you are, I mean, we're gonna ask you to
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: do that. So you seen that impact the secondary when
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: you can have him play the slot and you can
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: play the slot and he can do more Mexican matching
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: stuff and and how that can make it moneyed up
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: for a quarterback. I mean that I just give a
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: test the car uh coach McDonald right though, and like
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: he's able to cook up some crazy stuff and he
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: was able to put us in the best position to end.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: So I gotta get it. My head ball coach could
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: shot out on that.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, a little short hand the different positions on the
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: defense all season and then you're listening to.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Some wine backers today. But how against heart that what
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: he set up in capitals.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: I mean, this is a testament what we preach and
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: how we practice and how everyone you know what I'm saying,
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: studies and take it as a challenge.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Man.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: We always preach you never know what's gonna happen in
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: the game, and it's always a nestment up mentality, So
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: everyone prepares like they're gonna be a starter.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: We always practice like everyone's a starter because.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: You just never know when you're number gonna be called man,
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: and I just a testament what we built around here.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: So there always sheriff a sack, you're a bitch. I
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: don't even wanna talk about that. I don't even know.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: I don't even think they credit me for us sack today.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: So it'd be alright saying the same dropt class can't
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: up together, and it just broke deep best single season
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: after two seasons.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: Always see what you think about it.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: But he didn't today. Just what he doing over your.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: I mean, like I said, probably a couple of weeks ago, Bro,
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: I already I always knew he was he was gonna
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: be capable of doing stuff like this. Mean to me,
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: it's just hard to guard him. Bro, I mean, he
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: could get over me. He just so efficient in what
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: he do. And then he got like a great catch radier.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: So I mean, I'm just I'm just a fan watching
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: just like y'all. When he out there, man, I be
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: so happy and stuff like that. Cause, like I said,
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: I remember a lot of people were saying stuff our
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: rookie year, like he didn't put up the numbers and stuff,
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: and I'm like, bro, sure you don't know what we
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: got over here. And then now he just able to
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: shine a light on it. So he's just doing his
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: thing right now.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Man shout out to my brother. Man, keep doing your thing.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Bro're falling out and you know you're getting drive.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: I mean we did we seen a concept on film.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: I just I mean he pumped the pump, faked the
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: curl route, and then he threw the seventh routes. So
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: I didn't know he was actually gonna throw it. But
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: I mean, I just made a play that came to
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: your chance on the.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Last make some stuff doing.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: I just try to make the players that come to me.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: I don't really care about all that stuff. Like I said,
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: we just played a style that nobody wanna play over it.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: So no matter who makes the play, we celebrate them all.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Do you Pat sure? Have you think this team responding
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: from nowhere?
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: I think we used to responding well. I Like I said,
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: I just don't think we played TI stand today. I
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: think we coulda played a lot better on both sides
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: of the ball. But I mean, this is a great
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: win and it's great to learn from a win instead
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: of a loss. So we just gonna go back to
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: the dr drawing boards, see what we did wrong and
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: try to improve on that.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Man, gotta be better a lot.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: S.
• 4:26

  Speaker 1: is it about to find?
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: I mean cause we always just put the mission over
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: anything else, no matter what it is. Man, we try
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: to get that w so no matter what happens and
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: what the outcome may be. Uh you know what I'm saying.
