Better run defense, more takeaways and better third-down coverage are the results of players persevering earlier poor efforts, says Tremaine Edmunds.

00:18 >> Well, obviously we face a lot of adversity, you know what I'm saying?
00:21 Adversity builds character.
00:22 You find out about your team.
00:23 You find out a lot about yourself.
00:24 And just to see the way that we stayed together, just the chemistry was still there.
00:28 I really think that's the difference, you know what I mean?
00:32 It's not really a big difference as far as what we're doing because we've been playing hard.
00:35 We've been practicing hard.
00:36 But I think just the attention to detail, the way we come out of practice,
00:39 the way we hold each other accountable is great.
00:41 And that's just the resilience, you know, this group has, this team has.
00:44 You know, obviously, our very first third in last week.
00:46 But, you know, we're not looking at the past, man.
00:48 Our mind was, you know, focused on getting better,
00:50 focused on repeating that performance as far as domination.
00:52 And, you know, that's what our focus is on for the rest of the week.
00:55 You know, obviously we want to be a dominant defense.
00:57 You know, we preach about it.
00:58 That's how we work at practice.
01:00 And so I'm not surprised at all, you know what I'm saying?
01:02 Just to see the way guys come out of practice each and every day.
01:05 To see the way guys fly around, the way we hold each other accountable.
01:07 We play this game to win the turnover module.
01:09 And, you know, that gives you a big chance to win, especially scoring on defense.
01:12 You know, take my hat off to J that made two big plays.
01:15 Well, I should have said three since he made it, you know what I mean,
01:17 since he ran it back for a touchdown.
01:18 But, I mean, he always works, you know what I mean?
01:22 Everybody works.
01:22 And, you know, it's really just a, you can put it up in there who's going to make the play
01:26 because we got a lot of playmakers on defense.
01:28 And we just got to keep, you know, repeating this performance.
01:31 Keep repeating, you know, taking the ball away.
01:33 And really kind of make it a competition, you know what I mean?
01:35 But, like I said, it was definitely, you know, good to see that from him.
01:39 You know, obviously that's somebody that works hard.
01:41 Got to show respect for him.
