00:00Yeah, I think we just buckled down.
00:01We knew we needed to get the ball back to our offense any way how.
00:05I think it just came down to one-on-one matchups, really.
00:09We put our corners out there on the islands a lot of the time.
00:12So, I mean, they were able to make some plays and cover guys.
00:16And in turn, we was able to get the offense off the field.
00:20So, I think that's just what happened.
00:22As far as the confidence was growing, I mean,
00:25the guys on the sideline knew it was time.
00:27You know, we couldn't let them score anymore.
00:30We had to go out there and make stops.
00:31So, I think, you know, our young guys,
00:33and then as well as everybody else in the defense,
00:35kind of knew, you know, what time it was.
00:38And, you know, was trying to go out there
00:39and do our job and make plays.
00:41Yeah, so, we had been running a blitz.
00:44I think I blew up the running back one time
00:45where I hit the B-gap,
00:47and I think he was kind of waiting for me
00:49to kind of bull rush him.
00:51I went, we had like a double A-gap blitz.
00:54Gimel went one A-gap. I went the other A-gap.
00:57I think the guard kind of slipped on me.
00:58I don't know what they were doing in protection
01:01because usually the back blocks me,
01:03and I kind of just went inside,
01:06like, dug my shoulder and was able to make a play.
01:10The defense, you're going out there to make stops.
01:13So, I don't think, I mean, it's better for us
01:17because our offense is so explosive.
01:18I think we know, like, hey,
01:20we get two quick stops early in the game,
01:22it's going to be 14 to zero
01:23before they can even, you know, look up.
01:25And I think that just helps our defense
01:27because now, you know, they become one dimensional,
01:30and that's only going to benefit us
01:32because they're going to have to go to the pass.
01:33But, yeah, I mean, knowing that the offense
01:37on the other side of the ball is going to move the ball,
01:39they're going to score,
01:40I think just helps us on defense.
