00:00 >> Not at all, I think for me the biggest thing that your film is your resume.
00:04 So biggest thing I can do for any opportunities is to really focus on
00:08 having another week like last week where we were in rhythm.
00:11 The mix of the running pass, everything coming together, and
00:13 that was just a full focus on the opponent.
00:16 We got our hands full this week with the fantastic team going up to a great place.
00:21 The fans are all fired up there, I'm sure.
00:23 So I really just gotta be locked in on that.
00:25 And again, this is something I've been thinking about for a long time.
00:28 And so I have some stuff prepared that I've had for a couple of years and
00:32 really fortunate to have been with Pete for 14 years.
00:35 And his approach was always grooming us for
00:37 what the next thing is to continue to expand our mind and be prepared.
00:41 So when, if these opportunities come up, we're ready to talk about philosophy and
00:46 football and all those things.
00:48 >> As loud as it's gonna be up there.
00:50 >> Yeah. >> How vital is it just to try to
00:52 establish something early to try to get the fans out of the game a little bit?
00:57 >> Yeah, it's critical, right?
00:58 I've seen that happen.
00:59 You go to a place that's a really hostile environment and
01:02 if you can have success, it does quiet them down some.
01:04 But I think this is something they've been waiting for for a really long time and
01:08 I don't anticipate they're gonna let off the gas at all.
01:10 So we're practicing our silence and the different variations of those things.
01:15 And we've had some good practice at some pretty loud places.
01:18 So hopefully we can continue the communication and be clean that way.
01:22 >> The line secondary is, I don't wanna say dirty, but aggressive.
01:26 >> Yeah. >> I like the hit.
01:27 How do you still be aggressive yourself but also protect the players from taking
01:32 and absorbing those big hits that they're gonna try to deliver?
01:35 >> We don't think that way.
01:36 I expect every single week we go out there, you got a bunch of pros,
01:39 bunch of NFL players that are paid to play hard.
01:42 This is a fantastic defense.
01:44 They're aggressive, they're grabby, they're chippy, all those things.
01:49 And it's only gonna get harder and worse the further you get into the playoffs.
01:54 So we're really looking forward to the challenge.
01:56 And again, like we've talked about throughout the season,
01:59 it's these types of games that really show us where we're at as a team.
02:02 And so I'm literally looking forward to the test, and
02:05 it's gonna require all of us to be on the same page and play fast.
02:08 >> What jumps out at you when you go back and
02:09 look at the tape against the Lions in week six this year?
02:14 >> We know who we are.
02:16 Similar conversation as last week, we got to play the Eagles and
02:20 we know what our identity is.
02:22 We know the issues that can present themselves.
02:24 And so we'll hopefully have some answers for
02:26 whatever they try to throw at us that day.
02:28 Coach Aaron Glenn is a fantastic defensive coordinator.
02:31 He's fiery.
02:32 JC, you mentioned the juice.
02:34 It comes from him and the head coach.
02:36 So another great opportunity, great championship moment for
02:40 us to go out there and play.
02:43 But I think for sure, just as far as what they're doing,
02:46 a couple of little things that they've added throughout a long season.
02:50 But for us, it's really about the execution and the place that we're at now.
