This week. Yeah, I mean the way we play is full tilt, right, so you know there's gonna be miss tackles. Um. You know, if if one guy's shooting, one guy's you know, going his going one hundred percent to the ball. You know, if he make a runner makes a move, there's gonna be a mistackle. But um, obviously the angle and and and we work on all that stuff. We work on tackling every day, especially at the linebacker position. But um, you know one thing we prod ourselves is gang tackling

and everybody rallying to the ball. You know, because if that first person does miss, um, there needs to be a gang of guys they're ready to clean them up. So you know, I think we do a great job of that. Everybody's hustlings the ball. If you watch the film, um, but yeah, obviously you want to make every tackle. You get see some of the things with watchings Offensive, the way they spread the ball around, that's a little similar teams,

like they try to utilize a lot of people together. Um, and they've got a lot of weapons as well, So we got to be ready for it. I think we got a really good game plan going in. Um. But you know that's something that's that's their advantage. They trust their guys. They um, you know, have a lot of confidence in what they do. So yeah, we'll be ready.

He's a proven guy, you know, somebody who is has took his team to you know, whin the win the conference division last year and then um into the playoffs, so you know, he's somebody that can get hot at any moment and trust his arm, you know, trust like I said, trust this guys um and tries to fit those windows. So UM, I believe if you know, we play tight coverage, we'll be able to get get after him a little bit. Um. Let our defensive line eat and UM. You know, I think that'll be the key

to the game. Obviously it's a division game, and obviously when it win every week. But do you feel like there's any extra motivation this week because of how it close you were in the troity loss and now this is your first division game of the season. I mean, I think you know, going into the Vision, you know

what you're gonna get um a tough, heart nosed game. UM, and we've got to be ready for that, and especially going against the rescuing So you know, it's something that I think we're ready for um based on the last game. I don't think that the last game really has much to do with what we're doing now. The mood, the um, you know, the feel, the vibe after the game was everybody was positive and UM, we know we've got a

good team. We've just got to execute. And so I think we've kind of gone back to more of what we do, you know, as as a defense, as a team, UM and and focusing on that so that when we get in those tight games, in those situations, you know you're not relying on one play to make or break. You know you've you've kind of given yourself a cushion. So yeah, it's kind of where we're at a positive back to that. After the game, you Douglas saying, you guys are already on your iPads because you're just a

different approach this year. You can set to after games win or lose, and what you saw last year. I think guys were doing that last year as well. UM. I just think coming off of a game like that, it stinks because you know that we had the game right there, so you know, guys are eager, and that's the vibe. I your guys are eager to learn or eager to to fix the problems. Um. And it's I'm telling you, this is a team. You know, We've got

a good team going right now. And you know, when when our offense isn't playing well, the defense plays well. In the defense isn't playing well, the offense keeps it together and special teams holds it all. Um. But you know, I think we're we're you know, it's not fake, man, this this team really does love each other and it's a it's really becoming a close knit a group. That's seriously,

you know. I I I think over the course of the season, I think that's kind of what he sees is over the course of the season, what's um, how's my body going to be? You know, week thirteen, fourteen fifteen?

You know, and if he can you know, the way he I think I think the way he's thinking is, you know, if he could get two series here throughout the game, um, you know, and and the way it stacks up, that's a few games, you know, and and taking off a few games after you know, coming off with a season and the injury, um, and keep me fresh, I think is heavy on their mind and We trust our guys. You know, we've got Toller who's playing in

this who's played in this defense since he was a rookie. Um, you know, and you've got Kendricks who's obviously proven here, and you know, we trust those guys to come in and be able to be productive and get the job done. So obviously, yeah, UM, but you know I have I have no problem. You know, I respect UM coach Schwartz

and his decision. I respect Tolt being in there. I mean, he's giving me a bunch of tips since he's been here, you know, and he's he's a guy who understands just about every situation the game, you know, So he's a good guy to have out there as well. What kind of tips you said? Some tips from told there were kind of things as he should playing little nuances in the game, UM, little nuances in this defense. This defense

is obviously new, terminology is new. UM. And he's played against a lot of these a lot of these teams before, you know, and a lot of these these offenses, and UM has just about seeing any way you can attack this defense. So UM, you know, I think just having his presence, having his ability, and and UM you've got no one on over here. Um having his presence and his uh, his mental you know, his wisdom, his ability to recall different scenarios from um, you know, different games

in the past. So having him around has been a big help. Gonesome, I'm different. Now here's you guy. No one real
