  Speaker 1: some really good things and and just excited and happy
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: for our guys.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Talk a little bit about the defense and the way
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: they just kind of kept being it, kept beeing it,
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: and especially jar and Jones two pass breakups to the
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: and getting the sack.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: On the blitz. Yeah, I thought number the in Jarian's case, gosh,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: just played played really well down the stretch here in
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: this game. And you talk about the couple of past breakups,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: and that sack was was a thing of beauty. How
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: he could bend and and get around that edge and
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: and you know, you know, get you know, get Will
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Levice on the ground. You know. So I thought he
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: I thought he did a really good job, you know,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: and then he just continues to get better each week.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: He works extremely hard. So a lot of good things
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: about Jerry.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Thomas Sea.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah. We we tried earlier in the game to do
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: some things that way. You know, Tennessee took a couple
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: of those options, you know, away and and and we
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: just you know, we didn't get into a rhythm. But
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: you know, it's it's what we gotta do, right, We
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: gotta we gotta get Brian involved. And and he's he's
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: such a dynamic young you know, first year receiver that
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: uh is is. You know, he's a great player. I mean,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: he's a great player. He's gonna be he's gonna be
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: a really good player in this league. And for he
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: and Mac to make that play, it's kind of can
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: play scramble, you know. That really got us down there,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: and just I think that was the we scored the
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: touchdown on that drive. Just great awareness by those two.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: But BT is just a solid player that continues to
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: improve each week.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: What did you see Mac Joees today getting the start,
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: just kind of weathering all that storm gave in the
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: fourth quarter and sustainable.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: You know, that's one thing about Mac, I mean he
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: just he just sticks to it. He grinds it out,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: you know, and he's right there with all the guys
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: and the way he you know, the way he led
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: our team, and really there was no there's no there
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: was no panic, right, nobody pointing a finger or anything.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: It's just we just had to tighten some things up
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: and make us make a few subtle adjustments. And you know,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: for him to lead us down there and get those
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: you know, those ten points, I thought. And then we
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: had an opportunity before half too, with a two minute
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: drive before half. We were in a position we just
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: I think we had a penalty in sack there knocked
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: us out of field goal range. But he did he
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: did some good things today and things that we can
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: continue to build on.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: How impressive was Treylon's tackled there on the first goal
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: line stand that looked like a pretty good hole there
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: on second and goal from like the two, and he
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: just absolutely made up some fantastic tackle that.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, and that's that's Trayvon. I thought today,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: you know, guys like Treybon, Jarion, you know, Mac, the
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: guys were talking about bt Tank, I mean, all these guys,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: every one of them. But you know, it's just the
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: consistency of just just continuing to do their job and
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: ask what what we've asked them to do, and and
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: and in that particular play, Traybon just did a did
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: an outstanding job just making a play. And and and
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: then you know obviously the fourth and goal, you know,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: and late in the game too, you know, come up
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: you know, come up empty there h hats off to
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: the defense for uh, for just the execution.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: A little bit about how you must think Mac must
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: feel for getting his first think we improved home God team.

  Speaker 1: I think you have to ask him, but I know
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: he's gonna be excited. I'm excited for him, you know,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: to really lead our football team. And and now he
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: knows to moving forward that that he can. You know,

• 5:15
  Speaker 1: you know, and the second half of last week, this
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: week just some things that we can continue to build
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: and he can build upon. But excited for him obviously
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: getting getting that first win was ill illness a little
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: bit last night and then all day this morning when
