00:00 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:03 I know it's exciting.
00:21 Again, sometimes it takes a little bit.
00:25 And you can really see the defense the last few weeks.
00:28 We're playing fast, we're playing physical.
00:30 And again, it's not about the call.
00:31 It's about the execution.
00:33 So it's not like we're inventing new calls or anything.
00:35 It's the same defense we played last year.
00:37 We're just executing better.
00:39 And part of that, too, is I think guys
00:40 are playing more-- they're more comfortable in the system.
00:42 It starts up front.
00:43 Just like an offense, where it starts up front
00:45 for the defense, it starts up front with the defensive line.
00:47 Those guys have done a tremendous job.
00:49 Billings, Double J, those guys have really done a good job.
00:56 Really cleans it up for us on the second level
00:58 when those guys are holding their gaps.
01:00 So I give a lot of credit to the defensive line and the job
01:03 they've been doing.
01:04 Yeah, for Tremaine, he missed most of training camp.
01:09 Just played a little bit in the preseason.
01:11 So obviously, the more games he plays,
01:13 the more comfortable he is with the defense.
01:15 And you can really see it.
01:16 He's playing fast, physical.
01:19 So I really like where he's at right now.
01:21 To be honest with you, it's kind of a week-to-week thing.
01:24 Some weeks are better for that than others.
01:26 So again, I think it goes to a game-by-game basis
01:29 how we're going to utilize those assets.
