Ye kind of make sense a little bit last week. How does that affect you just you know, getting to feel for the game. Yeah, no, Um no, that's the rotation, um that they've put in place. And um, you know Tol he's a great player, so you know they liked that rotation, like putting them in getting letting him get a feel for the game as well. Um. And for me, no, I mean I play, you know when when I'm getting in a in a groove. You know, going out a

series doesn't doesn't necessarily hurt me at all. Um, once I get into it, you know, I'm locked in. Gotta breathe during a game, absolutely absolutely, especially if I'm you know, rotating in on special teams here and there, Um no question there has there been any talk about you moving to the weak side when he's out there or anything of that nature to keep feeling the fe uh not really. I mean we've worked it a little bit, Um said

that before. We've we've constantly rotated, um and you know, I've worked kind of all three positions just you know, just as as a depth purpose. You know, we've got to have depth. We've got to be able to play everybody everywhere and everybody needs to know each position. So, um, you know, if they call my number to go at the wheel, even at the same you know, I'm ready and it's gonna be the best team you've you've played so far. Season is young, but do you guys look

at this game. It's kind of something that's going to tell you about yourselves, maybe more than the first two. Now. I mean, it's hard to win in the National Football League. We understand that. So coming off you know, those two wins, we believe. You know, we've got a lot of confidence rolling in and you know, we believe in ourselves. Um. You know, everybody talks is talking about it's gonna be a physical game, but it's in our minds it's gonna

be a physical game because we're showing up. You know, we want to make um that our mentality. Um, and you know that's that's what we want to put on film. I know their own team you're gonna play, so you we're gonna have others. Yeah, I mean they're they're a very talented team. Um, got really good skilled players everywhere and obviously big band playing, you know, and and it's doing so well, so we got to be on point.

But you know, it's nothing. We're not We're not we're not up for Where do they give off that vibe? And how do you how do you go against the team? Is that kind of not We're not intimidated by anything. Um, you know, we're we know the challenge that's ahead. We're practicing, um, you know, at a very high level right now and doing a really good job out there on the field, working through a lot of different situations. And you know, I think when game day comes, we fall back on

our preparation. And you know, with with the way we're practicing, the way we're mentally locking in, we're not We're not worried about what they're doing. We're worried about what we're doing. Thank you, guys, have a little break in this game because let still suspended. But have you seen much of a drop off and play him? I think D'Angelo is leading the NFL and rushing yards, right, I mean, you know that speaks for ourselves. He's a dynamic back, is

proving back UM can catch the ball. Obviously that's a great vision. So no, absolutely, I wouldn't. No matter who's back there, we've got to be ready, UM, and I think we'll be two Pro Bowl guys on that interior, that line to Castro and pounds. He good at getting to the second level. Yeah, I mean the Pro Bowl for a reason, you know. And um, we we actually faced them in the preseason. They were out there during the preseason. I don't know that they didn't play a

lot of their guys, but their offensive linement started. Um, and you know for us, you know, we just got to be on point. Man. It's it's not about who they are what they do, it's about what we do. It was obviously a while from him playing football. How do they love? So like an eleven year vet, he's played a lot of football. Um, I'm sure you know when you get to that point, it doesn't take much to just fall back on who you are and who who you've always been, and um, you know all those

games that you play before. So he's so good at keeping his eyes down and you have to be more cognizant on your past coverage. Just one that coverage, maybe that time second long absolutely you know coverage, and then on your rush as well. You know you've got to can't stop. You know, he likes six tend plays and um, like you said, keep his vision down field and uh, you know, the moment you stop is the moment he hits that pass for long game or whatever it may be.

But um, you know we've got to be relentless. You know, the plays might be an extra few seconds longer than what we're used to, So you can't have that play clock in your head. Anybody that they're tight end, can you can compare it to I don't know. Um, all we know is he's you know, he's a big guy, freaking is a real big dude. Um. But you know the same as this whole time, and it's not about

who they are what they do, it's about us. So playing them in the preseason, that doesn't I mean, neither team showed anything that resembling what they're gonna do all right Sunday. I mean, there's nothing to be gained from it, is there not? Really everybody's so bland in the preseason. Um, you know, we obviously look at that film, but you you really break down, you know, the past two games and then a little bit from last year and you get a feel for who they are. Um, you know,

and not in the preseason. They're gonna run some stuff that they run their their go to things. And but other than that, I mean, you see who they are there. They've got enough film to be able to get Good Tennant season breakdowns on Good Guess. Thanks guys, appreciate you showing up.
