00:00 What did you see on that interception that you made?
00:02 - Basically he just ran the same route.
00:04 I got the route in the beginning of the game,
00:06 but I was playing off, I was like eight yards off,
00:08 and he ran underneath the backers and everything.
00:09 I had to run through a lot of traffic to get to him.
00:11 As I made the tackle on our, close to our side line,
00:14 then on the interception, you know,
00:16 I just went to go press him,
00:17 knowing who I was going against.
00:19 It was really, I think it was same play action.
00:21 And then, you know, I undercut him,
00:22 you know, I had to go make a play.
00:23 - You know, in the game situation,
00:24 did that entice you to want to make, you know,
00:27 a pick more there rather than play it safe?
00:29 - I think any time the ball comes my way,
00:30 I think I want to pick, you know, just being honest.
00:33 The ball's in the vicinity and I had the opportunity
00:34 to just, you know, use my God-given gift
00:36 and go make a play.
00:37 - How tough is it though, to get so close?
00:40 I mean, literally to be on the doorstep
00:41 and you guys get turned away.
00:44 - Yeah, I say, man, no shit happens.
00:48 Honestly, man, it's heartbreaking, most definitely.
00:50 I don't know if anybody want to take a hill.
00:52 We're right there, like you said, at the doorstep.
00:53 We just got to, you know, put our foot back out there
00:56 and get some more.
00:56 - The Texans receivers were much more open today
00:59 than offenses typically are against you guys.
01:02 What were they doing so well?
01:03 - They're sending in the zones and then, you know,
01:05 we got to plaster.
01:07 Simple as that.
01:08 I feel like, you know, with CJ Estrada,
01:10 young quarterback, he's mobile.
01:11 He can move around, get out the pocket some.
01:12 And when that happens, that's when you have to, you know,
01:14 go out and second play.
01:15 I could kind of compare him, you know, out the pocket
01:17 to the guys like Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes
01:19 who want to make plays downfield.
01:21 I stayed downfield the whole time.
01:22 That's how, you know, we got the deep shots downfield.
01:25 - What were they doing on offense
01:26 that would have made it so difficult
01:27 for you guys to tackle?
01:29 - Oh, shit.
01:30 I won't even say.
01:30 They did a lot of difficult things, you know,
01:32 just running from us, I would say.
01:34 Like overs and unders, you know,
01:36 just ranking everybody, you know,
01:37 trying to run it to each other or something like that.
01:38 A lot of play action.
01:40 Catch your eyes, you know, run, run, run.
01:41 Play action, big shots.
01:42 So, you know, they had a little scheme of the day
01:44 and they got us with it.
01:46 - They had a lot of success running the ball.
01:47 Singletary over 150 rushing yards.
01:51 After a couple weeks,
01:52 did you really get against the record?
01:54 Or do you think that's the biggest reason
01:55 why you guys allowed so much on the ground today?
01:57 - We got to tackle better.
01:58 It's simple as that.
01:59 I think everybody sees that.
02:01 I think, you know, with our gap schemes and everything,
02:02 we just got to have gap integrity.
02:04 Hold that gap.
02:05 Don't get reached.
02:06 And when, even with myself,
02:07 I say it was two times I came up on the outside
02:10 and I'm holding my leverage, but I can shoot it.
02:12 No, don't wait, you know,
02:13 don't let him give me a move and go back inside.
02:15 You know, even though that's where I want him to go,
02:16 go make the tackle myself.
02:17 So, you know, it's just little things like that
02:18 that we can, you know,
02:20 step up on and, you know, be better at.
02:22 - Cam, is this one of those games where afterwards
02:23 you sit and think about it and just feel like
02:25 this is not who we are as a defense?
02:28 - Yeah, y'all caught me right here, right now.
02:30 I'll say that's exactly what I was doing, man.
02:32 Just thinking over the game.
02:34 Not going to spend too much time on it
02:35 because it is over and we got a game this week,
02:37 but I was definitely just trying to figure out, you know,
02:39 the mishap that's, you know,
02:42 on the field that happened today
02:43 so we can go back and, you know, correct it.
02:45 - Do you feel like this was the most dangerous
02:47 or most efficient passing attack
02:49 you guys have faced this season as a defense?
02:51 - Nah, I wouldn't say so.
02:52 I think, honestly, we just got to, you know,
02:53 play top down, you know,
02:54 especially with a guy like that.
02:56 You know, a lot of in-breaking routes,
02:57 digs, overs, slants, you know,
03:00 you didn't see too many outside throws.
03:01 So, you know, keeping it real nice and easy
03:03 for a young quarterback, we just got to stop that.
03:04 You know, simple as that.
03:05 - Third straight year, you guys are five and four.
03:07 Very familiar spot for this team.
03:09 I know it's second straight year for you, Cam,
03:11 but what's the mindset of this team right now
03:13 with another gotta have a game coming up?
03:15 - You gotta go in.
03:16 I think it's simple as that.
03:17 We're in the goal, man.
03:19 Shit, I don't want to go home.
03:20 So, we gotta go make that happen.
