  Speaker 1: they're gonna keep that between us right now. That's that's it.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Super impressed with our ability to stay the course. You know,
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: the complimentary football today showed up obviously making plays in
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: three phases right defensively, was that four straight games with
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: three turnovers? It is first time ever correct happening? Right,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: I think that's the first kit time ever ran for
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty yards, no sacks, had the punter
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: return for a touchdown, kickoff return that set up points
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: before the end of the half. You know, that's that's
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: making plays in three phases that really helped us win
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: that game. And very proud of the way that these
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: guys keep competing. It's not clean, but they play their
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: tails off.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: The takeaways, yeah.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: Four now, how press they're not drop interceptions.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's one of those things that right now
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: it's coming in bunches, which is awesome, But like I
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: kind of said to these guys on Saturday morning, it's
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: not just happening. Like there was a play in practice
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: on Friday that it was just a run and there
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: was five or six guys punching at the ball.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: You know, we it's what they're doing every single day.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: It's how they're obviously being coached from those guys that
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: think Campi and his staff had done a phenomenal job
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: detailing ball disruption. But these guys are being intentional about it.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: The way that they're practicing, the way that they're preaching it,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: the way that they're holding each other accountable every day
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: in practice in order to make sure that that is
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: getting seen on.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: The practice tape.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: So you know, how long it lasts, I don't know,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: but it's it's pretty cool to seear right now.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: You talked about trying to find out who your team
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: is after a month. Do you have a pretty good
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: feel at this point.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we're tough. I do believe that.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: I think we're a tough team. You know, that's not
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: an easy team to run the football on, and you
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: know we we we played our tails off. I thought
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: we were very balanced in the first half. U in
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: a lot of ways on offense, you know, miss some
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: throws in the second half and had a couple you know,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: penalties deflate us, but you know, no sacks. Running the
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: football that way, you know, very proud of those guys
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: in terms of every.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Time we compete, I think we have a chance. You know,
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: through four weeks, I think we have a chance.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: You know, there's not a time in a game where
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: you're like, man, god, this is getting away from us,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: or you know, you don't think even when negative things
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: start to occur and we stalled on offense in ways
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: the defense makes it play boom, then the punt return
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: for a touchdown. It's like, these guys keep having each
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: other's backs, and I think that's what's pretty cool. After
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: four weeks. Yeah, I just I don't know what the
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: exact injury was. I'm sure we'll kind of hit that
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: once we get that evaluated, but it was something that
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: it was nagging them a little bit overall.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: Today.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: Did you have to affect you?
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, a little it did. You know?
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: We got down to Rayon lane in the secondary. Uh,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: he did a great job of stepping up. Anthony Perkins
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: and Milo done a nice job coaching those guys to
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: know what they're doing.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: It's hard when you get down to that. You know
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: that number in the game.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: In terms of safety, Jack Kaiser playing obviously my terror
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Brown Jarion Jones everybody kind of had a hand in this,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: but yeah, it was hard. I mean we played Sincy
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: down to the wire, right physical ball game. You play
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Houston down to the wire, physical ball game today obviously
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: another physical outing. We got to look at our schedule,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: you know, as we go this week, to see how
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: we can take care of these guys. Yeah, it was
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: just a personal decision that we were going through that
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: that had to do with a few few kind of
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: things that we'll keep in house for now.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: Trayvon goes down, and yeah, it's pretty much not pretty much,
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: but Josh has to really kind of step his game up.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: He did.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: I mean, obviously we weren't getting a ton of heat
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: on him in terms of but we were disruptive still.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: I mean Armstead with the sack fumble, huge moment for him.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Josh played his tail off. Bj Green got some snatch
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: as a rusher, So we got some guys some reps.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: I thought Smooth played his tail off. I thought Mason
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Smith played well.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: So it took an effort out of everybody this week
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: in order to get the most out of with the
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: injuries and with some of the guys going down.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: But very proud of the coaches for getting.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: These guys ready to play, especially after that physical game
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: last week.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: Since that, Brian Thomas has turned a corner a little bit.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Or I mean, we had a great He was great
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: all game in terms of his communication with me, dialogue
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: what he could see, what he was seeing against them.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: He kept telling me the quick out was there and
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: so we kind of kept going to it. That was
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: based on feedback that we were receiving from Brian caught
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: the ball well, obviously made some plays and you know,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: I was very pleased.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: With BT today to be the guy who calls that. Yeah,
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: a huge moment. He got the game ball in there,
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: you know, just made him a game captain.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: It was very important for him coming back here after
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: you know, a long career here, has a lot of
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: respect obviously for the coaches over there and the people
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: and the players, and for him to be able to
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: come in here and help our team get a win
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: and a play like that was game changing and had
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: huge implications.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: That was that was awesome to see for Eric, Yeah, return.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: To just see what what was impressive.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: About I mean, I was I honestly just saw him
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: make the one guy like where he ended up kind
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: of cutting, turning like he was coming to our sideline
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: and then he stuck his foot in the ground and
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: got vertical. I didn't see. Maybe who made a good
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: block or not, I'm not sure. I know Quintin Morrise
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: again played really well on special teams for us. I
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: think Gardeck did as well. But you know that was
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: a huge moment, right I thought our return game today
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: was really popped, obviously with the ko r before the half,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: and then the punter returned for a touchdown. So credit
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Heath and Luke and those guys for doing a great job.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean he's just right now.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: He's he's got a really good feel for what we're
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: trying to do in the run game. I think, whether
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: it's in the zone or in the gap stuff, I
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: just think Travis has a really good feel for what
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: we're trying to do. He's pressing the line of scrimmage
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: really well and able to go find creases, and I
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: think we're I got to believe we played solid upfront.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: I don't know if it was perfect.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: I know we had a couple moving pieces up there
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: from the old line, but very pleased with Travis right
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: now in the way that those guys are running.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: I think Chad Morten is the best running back coach
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: I've ever been around.
