Transcript
00:00What? Greg Rousseau.
00:01Greg Rousseau.
00:02Defensive player of the year?
00:04He might set the sack record at this rate.
00:07With 34 sacks?
00:09He's got six. His career high is eight.
00:11He's got six.
00:12He's the one thing that more than anything, more than the offense for me,
00:16like going for big plays and, you know, the, hey, what's better?
00:22What's different?
00:23What's allowed to be different?
00:24Because Sean McDermott is no longer the head coach,
00:27and he is the one thing that I want to look at for that.
00:30Like, is this happening because he's playing a different position,
00:34he's freed up in a different type of season space, right?
00:38Like, is there more freedom for him to do what he's doing?
00:40Because six sacks in three games after never having more than eight
00:44just seems like it would be impossible for a guy.
00:47Some guys have hot weeks, right, and it could just happen.
00:50But he is not, like, falling into sacks because they're pushing the quarterback
00:56into him.
00:56He's getting sacks because he's beating guys clean and doing it quickly,
01:00and he's doing it against Penny Sewell in one week,
01:03and then the next week he's doing it against Rashawn Slater.
01:06Like, that is, that's incredibly impressive from him.
01:11And he's making them on big plays, right?
01:13Like, one of those was on a third down, I think, yesterday that ended the drive.
01:16Drive killer.
01:17Yeah, he's the story.
01:18Him and Walker have been the story of the defense.
01:19But yesterday, he was obviously more, you know, in front of us than Walker was.
01:24Maybe there are four explanations for why Rousseau is doing what he's done.
01:28One is he's taken a jump as a player, right?
01:31Right.
01:31You know, player development.
01:32One is the scheme.
01:34One is playing consistently next to Deion Walker, the two of them working together.
01:38And the other one might be, like, switching numbers.
01:4215 is looking good.
01:44It's lighter.
01:45It's deceiving.
01:45Who knows?
01:46Yeah, he's been very, very good.
01:48And Walker was good in this game, too.
01:50Walker, pressure in the quarterback.
