00:00 I mean, if I have the answer for you, I tell you.
00:02 I mean, you always try to go out there and
00:03 have that type of performance moving the football.
00:06 But we played well, guys went out there, played hard, and we made plays today.
00:11 >> Vida Veja is one of the better run defending defensive tackles in the league.
00:15 To have Wesley play the way he did and to be able to run the ball,
00:17 you're able to do against a front with that guy.
00:20 What does that say about the O line as a whole?
00:21 >> It was big.
00:22 I mean, I'll say this about Wesley, he loves ball.
00:25 He loves ball, he's prepared, he prepares every week.
00:27 And when he gets his opportunity, and he's had his opportunity a few times to go in
00:30 there and play, and he fights and scratches and claws.
00:32 And it's a testament to him, a testament to Tony, our line coach,
00:36 getting those guys ready to go every week.
00:38 >> What do you think has kind of gotten into Dio just the past month or so?
00:42 I mean, he's played well for a while, but really he's turned it on.
00:44 >> Yeah, he's definitely turned it on.
00:46 He's making a ton of plays.
00:48 He's always around the quarterback.
00:50 Nate Ali, our D line coach, does a heck of a job with those guys, Matt Raish.
00:54 But Dio's playing at a high level right now.
00:56 We just gotta keep going in that direction.
00:59 >> How refreshing is it to see the defense come out on top and
01:01 make those games in the plays like Samson's strip sack?
01:04 >> It's huge, it's huge.
01:05 Anytime you have an opportunity to go in there, whether it's on offense or defense,
01:08 you get the strip sack fumble right there.
01:10 Samson, getting that done, and then getting the recovery.
01:14 And then obviously on the flip side of finishing the game out in a four minute
01:18 situation, they got three timeouts.
01:20 We gotta get a first down to end the game.
01:22 And obviously staying in bounds, good job by JT, getting the first and
01:25 going down and it was huge.
