Speaker 1

Yeah, yeah, Um, you know, I felt like as a collective group, I felt like it was one of our best games. Um. And the way I feel, you know, is everybody feeds off of each other's energy. Um. You look and see from the first drive that we got, we were playing at a high intensity, um, you know. And and when you're constantly getting those opportunities or d Line is playing as well as they are, you know,

it makes my job a lot easier. So um, you know, it was you know, obviously for me, I personally had a pretty good game, but I think it was a collective It was because of the collective Um, great games that everybody played as one pretty eventful game for you and Dallas. What do you remember us yea, the sexual tournament you got. What do you remember most about the Blisters game in Dallas? It's fun game, fun game, Um, probably one of my most memorable memory games to this point,

just because of the energy in that that game. You know, it was such a close game going into it, and we knew, you know, it was coming down to the to that last drive, and we're playing so well up to that last art. You know, I was playing well up into that last drive until I hurt. Um, and we were as a team. But you know it's football, man. You know, you got your ups and your downs. You learn from it. Excited to get back there though, you

know from Texas, went to school there. Um. I have a lot of people watching this game, so definitely a marked one on my my calendar. Rush. Yeah, it's huge. Um. You know, first things first to stop in the run, like every week, but you know the task is heavy, um this week because they're playing so well. Um. You know, they've got one of the best offensive lines in the National Football League. They've got leading rusher in the National Football League. Um, and their their offense runs through that

run game. UM. So it's gonna be on us to get downhill, you know, stay, It's gonna be it's gonna be huge for our gap integrity this year or this this week. UM, that we we stay solid, we stay um, you know, sound in our gaps and are playing physical. You know, they like to push, they like to to grab a hold of you and just move you and bleed you for five to ten yards. Um. So it's gonna be it's gonna be on us to come downhill

and stay stout at the point of attack. How much of it is they're old line and how much of it is Elliott when when you watch his production, it's a it's a combination of both. You know, he's got he's got great vision um and runs hard, runs behind his pat and run behind his paths. But his oline is obviously one of the top. You know, they do a good job opening up holes and and uh, you know, giving them space. You know, they they're big boys in there, and they you know, they move people. They do a

good job moving people around. So it's a combination. Be surprised last week that Jim is willing and books as much as he didn't. No, I mean it was it was in the game plan. Um, and we obviously execute the game plan in practice. Um, so we knew it going into the game. And uh, you know we we love it. We love the aggression. We love you know, having that that type of mentality going into the game.

Did you to be seen from Dak and said the fact that he hasn't made many mistakes this season, despite the fact that this rookie is that becomes of that running game. He's not putting third and long situations things of that nature. I think they've just done a really good job of um converting, you know, and and Dak, like you said, he's made almost no mistakes. You know, you watch him on film and if the play's not there, he's he's making the right decision, whether it throwing the

ball away or running for whatever it may be. And uh, you know he's he's putting the ball with it needs to be making great decisions down field. But I do think you know, for them, and you know, it's it's about the run game, UM, and that's probably you know, that's that's where we are focuses and UM obviously you know if you stop that, you stop the lifeline of them, and UM, that's that's our plan. What do you feel like you guys are as a run defense? Where are we? Ly?

Was a bad game Sunday was We've we've got a standard, UM, and we didn't play up to that standard though the Detroit game in the Washington game. But we're not looking back to those games. You know, we've we've obviously progressed, um and gotten back to where we you know, to our standard, and we're trying to build on that. So you know, we're taking a week, week by week and one game at a time. And you know, I'm not. None of us are worried about Washington or anything like that.

We're worried about stopping the run against the Dallas Cowboys. Okay, thanks guys, appreciate it. Y
