  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's uh super exciting to me just being more involved,
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: uh in the offense really just in general. Uh So yeah,
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: that's exciting to me.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: Well, if you could kind of walk us through your
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: first start in the NFL, biggest takeaways from you.
• 1:54
  Speaker 6: Uh, I say it went went pretty good. Made some plays. Uh,
• 1:57
  Speaker 6: you gotta keep grinding when it get a little bit
• 1:59
  Speaker 6: bit at the toys the end.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: And now for you personally, what was uh in terms
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: of the biggest like moment that you were like, hey, alright,
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: like I can do this. I can be a starter
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: in the NFL.
• 2:10
  Speaker 6: Uh, I'd say from the first day of the game.
• 2:12
  Speaker 6: I mean that's I think. I go out that confident
• 2:15
  Speaker 6: ev every week, I'd say, So, that's just me being
• 2:17
  Speaker 6: confident in that plus the reps I had previously.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: So you guys two forced two three and outs to
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: start the second half. What happened there on the fourth quarter?
• 2:27
  Speaker 6: Uh, I'd say, Uh, coming out the locker room, that
• 2:30
  Speaker 6: was just the big intereresis of getting off the field
• 2:31
  Speaker 6: on third down. And I say the team did a
• 2:33
  Speaker 6: great job of that. Coming out at the high.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: Was there like a halftime adjustment or was there like
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: a conversation or a rally cry at all?
• 2:41
  Speaker 6: Yeah, just a conversation. I know I suppose to go
• 2:43
  Speaker 6: about it. Uh, just third down, that's the movie down,
• 2:45
  Speaker 6: get 'em off the field, and that's the that's what
• 2:47
  Speaker 6: we were struggling with. So I made it comment about
• 2:49
  Speaker 6: getting off the field and third down plus to everybody else.
• 2:51
  Speaker 6: So that was just a common goal at of the
• 2:53
  Speaker 6: team myself.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: In terms of where this team goes next. What's the
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: conversation some post game on the defensive side of the ball.
• 3:02
  Speaker 6: Uh, keep grinding, keep finding ways to get better, keep
• 3:05
  Speaker 6: finding ways to execute it just a little bit better,
• 3:07
  Speaker 6: and and just make plays.
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: I say, how much you have to I know it's
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: wins to wins oriented business, but how much you have
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: to take some of the small victories, whether it's individual
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: as a unit and and try to build off it.
• 3:20
  Speaker 6: And me that's one thing we talked about during this week.
• 3:22
  Speaker 6: Just celebrating the small players. I say, think they they
• 3:25
  Speaker 6: did a good job, especially second half, just celebrating the
• 3:27
  Speaker 6: small players and coming off having juice.
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: I'd say, so, did you think you guys delivered on
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: that mantra this week let loose have fun? Uh what
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: was that kind of a message and and did you
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: do a good job of that?
• 3:39
  Speaker 6: Yeah? Uh, that was the message.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 3:41
  Speaker 6: I think we did a better job second half for
• 3:44
  Speaker 6: defensive Yeah. I say, uh, just turn it up another
• 3:46
  Speaker 6: notch that third that third quarter, So I.
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: Say, can you and then you're trying to get turnovers? Yeah,
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: they're just not coming right now. Seems like can you
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: can you do anything more to get 'em? Or is
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: it just one of those things instead of bounce your
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: way Uh.
• 4:01
  Speaker 6: To me, I just think it's a mentality.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 4:03
  Speaker 6: We just gotta go out there and have the mentality
• 4:05
  Speaker 6: to go get a turnover. And that's how I view it.
