Yea at this point you guys have addressed before, but it gets more and more start games every week. Why is the defense so much more effective that whole h m hm Um. Really, you know what, you look at the the way we're playing UM in these games, and it's like three maybe four plays in each game that shows that difference, right. Um. You look at how we
started the game. We started with three and out UM and really had them, had them where we wanted them, and then you know, they bust a run and then they get UM that that passed to Jimmy or for the touchdown. But you look at it and they're not really I mean they're doing it's like three or four plays, you know. And that's that's how every single one has been. UM. It's the execution. And I say it every every week, UM and every every time I get asked that question.
You know, it's it's not a matter of how it plays, a matter of executing, you know, it's we've we've got to execute UM just consistently. And that's that's really the main key. You guys are in a stretch where you're facing a really elite quarterback every week. Uh, pretty much, there's not a lot of backups, not a lot of rookies in there. Uh, what's the mentality of the defense as far did you guys embrace that? Do you like it? Do you like the challenge or um? You know? And
how tough is it to never get a break that way? Yeah? And and to add to that, every quarterback is different, right, So you had Russell last week who was able to be um so crafty. Um. You know, we had Matt Ryan who's sitting there and throw the making every pass. And now you've got Aaron Rodgers who provides a little bit of both um, you know, and and this defense we embrace it absolutely. It's a new challenge every week. Um.
And that's the way it she'll be. You know, we don't want any hands out, hand out are going again. We want to we want to prove, you know that we're going against the top competition and doing what we need to be doing against them. So, you know, as we're excited, Um, obviously you know we're playing one of the top quarterbacks this this league, this league has had in the past, however long he's been playing at that level, you know, So we're excited, really excited for the for
the challenge, ahead. I think quarterbacks school different school, stop the past. Aaron Rodgers provides a huge dynamic. UM And obviously UH is a top tier you know, if not the top tier quarterback in the NFL. But it's always to stop the rhyme. All that being said, yes, you know, I mean here's the thing. You know, obviously they rely on their past game, UM more than they do their run game. But you look at how they were playing with Eddie Lacy, you know, and they were running the ball.
He was averaging four to five yards a pop, you know what I mean. So if they can run the ball, they're going to UM and ultimately we have to make them one dimension. Do you ever, do you ever kind of look at the standings and see where you are, what you guys have to do these last six weeks to get in I haven't. I honestly have not. UM. My head's probably been really you know, down um and
focused on the one week schedule. But you know, we're still I know, we're still in a position to where we can really create our own our own destiny, making you know, these next these next six games count. UM, if we handle our business, we'll be all right. But you know, I think the way you have to approach it is to kind of see the light at the end of the tunnel and understand that it's there. But we have no what, in no way shape or for him.
Should we look ahead? You know, we have to look at the task ahead or in front of us, and um, you know, we've got to handle business each and every week and treat us as an individual opportunity. You don't, you don't, I'm not looking ahead, but well, you look like like Thursday's games are pretty there's two the two girly games with the Cowboy Redskin game, the Lions Viking games or games that couldn't impact how you guys watch
those games and look at it. If you watch, if you're not really doing much on Thursday, right, so you watch the games. Um, but at the end of the day, it doesn't matter what they do. It's a matter of what we do. If we don't handle our bids, well, if we don't handle our business, we're not even gonna be in that position, you know what I mean. So at the end of the day, nobody else matters except
for what's in this building. And we understand that it's Rodgers operating a little bit differently than we're accustomed to his. I think his yards per tempt or. Aaron Rodgers is Aaron Rodgers man. You know, you give him an opportunity, he's gonna he's gonna make the most of it. So, um, you know, it doesn't matter how he played last week the week before. He is a proven quarterback in this league. Um, and it's somebody we have to be ready for at any moment. M hm hm hm
