00:00Take me through the play where you kind of got your hands on Malik and Jordan ends up with the
00:04ball.
00:05What would happen for you on that one?
00:06Yeah, 100%.
00:07It was a play action, obviously.
00:10Seeing the intentions of the guard coming back,
00:13coach was telling us to work on certain things in a week.
00:15We've got a play action throughout the year, and we haven't really been getting home on it.
00:19So I trusted my instincts on that, and you remember what coach told me about situation of football,
00:24and took the chance, took a shot, and it worked out for us in my favor.
00:27However, as I came around the corner, you know you're not going to get there,
00:31so the best thing you do is put your hands up, tip the ball.
00:34As I'm laying there, I look up, and I'm like, that's all you wrote at that point.
00:40Extra pride in the fact that you made big plays off both sides.
00:43You guys all kind of move around a little bit.
00:45For you to be able to be like, hit them for me either way, that's got to be extra for
00:49you, right?
00:49100%.
00:50My mindset is just not to be a one-sided rusher, to show that there is capability, versatility,
00:55and I think we all have that.
00:57You know, as the room goes, you know, with our D-line, with our edges,
01:01everybody, I feel like, can rush from either side of the ball and still be productive.
01:04So trusting in that factor of, you know, it doesn't matter where we line up,
01:07however the situation is, you know.
01:09It's like baseball, being an ambidextrous hitter,
01:11and having that ability to be able to bat on the left side and bat on the right side.
01:15So, I mean, it helps tremendously, as you can see.
01:18Yeah.
01:18Kind of an obvious question, but first to go with the one, you hold him out without a touchdown.
01:21How much does that give momentum just beyond that moment for the rest of the game?
01:25It gave tremendous momentum.
01:27You know, obviously, it's one of those things is that you know what's going on in the game, right?
01:32And for us, it's just understanding that we have a mentality right now is if we have a blade of
01:37grass, we will defend it.
01:39And where you have the ball and the one, it doesn't matter.
01:41We're going to defend that blade of grass.
01:42And so that building and just understanding that we are on that track of building the standard.
01:48I keep talking about the standard, but the standard is something that we believe in.
01:51It's something that we're going to create to have the standard of this defense.
01:54And obviously, there are things that we want back and plays that we want back and situational things.
01:58But, you know, as long as we can keep building on that, I think that will be the best thing
02:02for us.
