Speaker 1 (00:00):
I don't know how you can watch your offense, but
obviously they put a put amount of points today.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
And the way Jackson and Cam, you know, what do
they what do they bring?

Speaker 3 (00:09):
I think it's the group man, the old line block
dance off today in that run game, in the past
game they did the same, gave them time to throw it,
Receivers catching the ball, tough catches, too tight ends, tough catches.
It takes all of us. And it's not it's not
just Jackson, it's not just Cam. It's it's the supporting
group and it's everybody. Everybody has an important role on
as a.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
Guy who gets paid to stop running backs. It's Cam,
a tough guy. He took it to bring down. You know,
he's not a big guy. But that's what it seems like.
That's what it seems like. I ain't got my chance
to wrap him up. So I don't know any advice,
Any advice you give a flot on his interception given
your earlier one this year. No, just this is just

(00:49):
to catch up. But he got his today.

Speaker 3 (00:52):
He broke on it nice, and you know that's just
it's just the little things.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
When you do little things right, you get rewarded. You
held the Eagles. The offense pats up the defense a
party of the offense when the offense picks up the
defense like that, when they you know, they take that
lead and they come back and we take a lead again.

Speaker 3 (01:08):
It's just you know, it's just taking punches and giving punches,
you know, And that's that's how the game is gonna go.
We just got to outlast them, and that's.

Speaker 2 (01:14):
What we did. Actually held the Eagles to zero points
of the second half.

Speaker 3 (01:17):
What was the key Being disciplined, man, you know in
our in our run lanes, being disciplined in our past
game and you know, getting turned up.

Speaker 2 (01:24):
We had two big.

Speaker 3 (01:25):
Turnovers and in the like near the red area. So
and that's the most important part of the field.

Speaker 4 (01:31):
Seem like Shane is pretty aggressive and key times, especially
in a flight interception. As a defensive player, you have
to like that aggressive us with bowling what he was
called on the second.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
Half, Yeah, man, we've been on Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:44):
Uh he's called he called a good game, I think,
and I think we just executed well, you know, and
it's the little things that gonna help us take off
and win.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
You know, it takes all it takes him. It takes
us executing calls and and that's just how it goes.
You stopped your first to push today, what's it like
in there? None of us. Man, they just give him
the extra extra extra emotions at the end.

Speaker 3 (02:08):
But you know, it's it's it's it's a play that
you gotta defend and it's part of the game, so
you just got to keep defending. It is a frustrating
no decks that it seems like they are starting a
little early at times.

Speaker 2 (02:19):
And I saw the silent go crazy, but there's no
flex that's the play. I guess the players to start.
I don't know, it's you just got to play football
at the end of the day. Like that's that's their
money play and we just got to stop it.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
It seems like the way the Jackson Dark moves in
the pockets just a little different. You guys have a
description or a nickname for that.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
Uh, not necessarily.

Speaker 3 (02:41):
He's just playing football, you know, And that's the most
part thing, not being you know, stagnant.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
He's just playing around like playing football.

Speaker 1 (02:48):
Yeah, I mean when you see him kind of make
some of those crazy escapes, you know, maneuver in the pocket,
just kind of what's going through your mind?

Speaker 2 (02:56):
He gets what he needs, he to throw the ball
to somebody catch you get it first down.

Speaker 3 (03:03):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
Barn said that.

Speaker 4 (03:05):
Well, the broadcast said, you guys had kind of like
a defensive players only met. Just asking Brian about it,
he said, he has like some things on his heart
what he's saying. He felt like it did have an impact.
He didn't want to get into too much detail. But
how much of an impact do you think that type
of conversation on veterans like yourself.

Speaker 3 (03:22):
Has Yeah, yeah, I mean that means just you know,
just making sure we take care of business at the
end of the day, and you know, making sure we
did a little things right, you know, just watching it
a little extra tape. Is that, you know, knowing why
you're doing something while you need to be in a
certain position, just just owning your position and owning your

(03:44):
plays and olding every moment that you get.

Speaker 4 (03:47):
How how much of a point of pride is it
not just to win this game, but to shut them
out in the second half.

Speaker 3 (03:52):
That's big, man, because they have a good football team
and we got to keep playing. We got to just
keep playing as a defense, you know, no matter that
they scored some points they got some momentum, but we
just kept fighting

Speaker 2 (04:04):
And that's what we came out with doing
