00:00 >> Are there any challenges to their offenses and
00:03 the things, the different looks or the different teams they have?
00:06 >> I really don't really worry about what they're doing.
00:09 I really worry about what we gotta do.
00:10 Once we do our job, everybody do their job, I feel like we'll come out victorious.
00:15 So that's all I worry about.
00:16 >> Does it help you guys to face these three really good run games and
00:20 running backs all right in a row?
00:22 Cuz there's really no lag time, there's never a week off.
00:25 No, there's ever a week off.
00:26 But back to back to back, how much does that help?
00:29 >> Yeah, it helps a lot.
00:30 We just gotta go stop the run.
00:31 That's our main focus, stopping the run this week for sure.
00:33 That's our main goal and we're gonna go out there and do it.
00:37 >> You mentioned hitting it.
00:38 So what's missing in that regard?
00:39 Is it just finishing tackles?
00:41 >> Just finishing, just finishing tackling.
00:43 We get to the ball.
00:44 Everybody gets to the ball running and hitting.
00:46 But the goal there is to finish tackling and that's what we're gonna do.
00:50 >> What's your challenges on the fullback with Johnson coming through on their
00:53 lead runs and really running downhill for you guys at the second level?
00:58 >> You said the challenge?
00:58 >> Yeah, the challenge.
01:00 >> Kind of what it does for you guys when you face a fullback?
01:03 >> What it does, I mean, it really don't do nothing to us.
01:05 I mean, really same thing, we still gotta run and hit.
01:07 We're gonna be leaning up in there and we're gonna be coming through the hole.
01:10 So I like us over him.
