 Shane, when you face an explosive offense like Dacys, obviously you want to accept turning over, but is it a matter of just making them earn everything they get, not give up those big, you know, backbreaking 60 yard plays? Yeah, absolutely. I mean, they've done a good job of that, too. I think they got the most 10-plus play drives in the league right now. But ultimately, all the time, no matter who you're playing, you want to try to eliminate those explosives and make them earn it, make them string plays together. The more plays they have, the more opportunities for us to create a negative one or possibly get a turnover or something come with it, right? So that's a big emphasis every week, probably even more so this week with who they got on the perimeter out there and all that speed. Hey, you guys lost Christian Fulton, you know, to IR. Caleb Farley now on IR. Chris Jackson got banged up in Monday's game as well. Just what's your comfort level with the cornerback spot at this point? Yeah, I mean, we've had guys out here who have been with us. I mean, Chris Jones has been with us. He's been practicing. He's been engaged in meetings. We got Maven back who's been with us all spring, all fall. Obviously, Breon's been there. He's been in some games for us. So I mean, we got guys who are familiar with us, at least, right? It's not like somebody coming off the street and we got to get them ready. And I'm looking forward to seeing who kind of rises to the challenge and takes advantage of the opportunity, right? That's what this league's about. I mean, everybody's dealing with injuries right now, so we've got to find the next guy, whoever it is, get in there and hopefully takes advantage of the opportunity. Have you seen Elijah? The attitude doesn't change when a guy goes down right next man up, but logistically, what adjustments do you have to make when you're losing the two, three guys? Yeah, I mean, you're having to work through it on the sideline. Just you have different personnel groups and some of that stuff, depending on how many go down, you've kind of got to adjust that. You might get out of something, right? Certain calls, depending, right? So I think it's a fluid deal. Most of the time, usually if it's just one guy, hopefully you've got everything still intact. And when you get to the multiple guys at a spot, that's when you really got to kind of come together as a staff and, hey, what does this guy know? He's been in there, he hasn't really repped there. Like, that's when you really got to come together and figure out what we can actually get done with a guy who hasn't really done it in practice. Have you seen Elijah kind of grow recently here and from the boot because of the stakes early and how important is he here? Yeah, absolutely. I mean, I think just his comfort level out there, I think he's gaining confidence every day. I think he's understanding kind of his role and the expectation of him in certain calls and where his help is and all those little things that we've talked about. I think he's growing. I do. I think he's growing. And I've been encouraged with him these past couple of weeks. This is an experience against my home's help. And maybe what do you tell a guy that I haven't played against him as far as what to be prepared for? Yeah, I mean, I think you've got to be prepared for the unpredictable with him. I mean, he makes plays out of the pockets with his feet. I mean, he buys time and he can throw it from every angle off every foot no matter where he's had on the field. I think you just got to try to do your best to keep him contained because, again, they got those fast guys on the perimeter and turns into backyard football. He gets out of the pocket. Those guys are just looking to separate and they're playing backyard football and it's tough to keep up with them. But I think in regards to my home's, you just got to try to do your best to make him play quarterback without all the other stuff that he's able to produce and create on his own. Obviously, down and distance. How do you manage, OK, we want to keep that vertical shot from killing us, but then Kelsey underneath, how do you manage which one to focus on? Yeah, it's a fine line. Whenever they have multiple threats in different spots, like you got away the battle a little bit, you're going to have to take your chances where, at times, we're going to have to hold up on some of those deep shots and understand what's going on so we can eliminate some of those shorter throws. But it's kind of a pick your poison, so to speak, at certain times and I think being mindful that within the game and also guys understanding, hey, I'm vulnerable to the shot in this call or hey, we're a little more vulnerable underneath or we got to be a little quicker matching some of that stuff. Like I think understanding the call and kind of where our vulnerabilities are with each call plays a factor too. Build confidence with this defense just in terms of the red zone, especially in this last game and being able to come up so big on plays like that. Yeah, I mean, it's been huge. I mean, ultimately I think that kind of won us the game this past week, being able to find ways to keep them to three points, whether it was early in the game or the start of the second half where they weren't able to take a two score lead. I mean, those were huge stops for us. I think it goes back to our guys' mentality. Like when they're out there, no matter how they get there, no matter whether they drive it, whether they get an X-play, we've got to find a way to keep playing the next play, forget about it. Like everything shrunk down there. We just got to be able to lock in and find ways to hold them three because ultimately it changes the game. Where do you think? Yeah, absolutely. I mean, I think anytime you're kind of going into the game, you never really know what you're going to get. Certain teams do a little bit more early on than other teams. But just trying to get into the flow of the game, make sure we can handle all their punches early as best we can. I mean, it kind of showed up a little bit Monday night, right? Where they were kind of driving the ball, and we had some missed tackles on that first drive that cost us. But then being able to find a way to eventually hold them the three and get off the field, I think it just adds a little bit of confidence. It gives you a little joe to life. Like, hey, we'll be OK. Like we held them the three. We'll regroup. We'll kind of get going. But I think definitely early on, before you kind of get into the flow of the game, you've got to be prepared. And you've got to be able to take some punches and hopefully give them back. But at the same time, you've got to keep playing. Your reaction, I guess, on the play Simmons made to end the game and kind of what have you watched it on tape? What did you like about what he did? Yeah, I mean, it's defensive line play. He was lower than the guy across the room. He attacked the line of scrimmage. He knocked them back. He was aware of the situation, what they were going to do. Dialed in in the moment. So I mean, it's everything we kind of preach, everything we asked for from those guys, the physicality standpoint, from an awareness standpoint. I mean, I was excited as everybody else. I don't even know who I tried to find to celebrate with. But I mean, it was exciting. It was a huge play for us. Great stop. Hopefully we can continue to build on that type of stuff. Shane, why do you think you guys have been so good in those kind of goal-to-go situations when there's kind of the most pressure to kind of keep them out, even if some yards are given up, you guys are able to hold them up right in front of the end zone? Why do you think you guys have found so much success there? Yeah, I think it goes back to being resilient, like telling these guys we got to be able to play the next play. Like nothing's ever over. We got to make them try to earn everything. Like I said before, whether they get down there with the X-Play, hopefully not, or they drive it down there, hopefully not. But when they get down there, we got to find ways to keep playing. Don't cave in because I think they understand the importance, whether it's fourth down and we get a stop, or ultimately getting them the third down and getting a red zone stop, they understand the importance of those four points. Right? Go ahead. When we talked to Simmons yesterday, as much as he'd made some big plays, he seemed to almost compare himself not in such a great light compared to last year. Said he still has, he still feels like he's not playing it his best this year. I mean, do you see anything along those lines? Yeah, I think just consistency with his technique and fundamentals, right? He's a tough dude to move regardless. But I think you see the difference between when he's lower, extended, all those things technique-wise, right? Like it's a totally different game than when he's kind of maybe playing a little bit high or hands are outside. Those guys can kind of handle him a little bit more or you don't see the impact from him, so to speak, when he's a little inconsistent technique-wise. What'd you get from Hooker? What'd you get from Hooker having him back in there? Yeah, man, it was great to have Hook back. I mean, he's a pro, like he's been engaged throughout the whole IR process, everything. I mean, he actually ended up playing more than we envisioned him because of where things kind of got to in the game. But it's great having him out there. He's a good communicator. Him and KB work well together. He's comforting to me, getting him out there, too. So. If you watch his games and play with me, if nothing else, you see a level of hook work, especially when they can sexually understand it. Yeah, I think it's improved. I do. I think we've kind of improved, and we've kind of made an emphasis to simplify in regards with some of that stuff, where we can make sure we get lined up and we can play fast, because ultimately, if they don't know, it ain't gonna look very good. They're not gonna play as fast, all the things that go with that. But yeah, I've been encouraged with kind of how they've been able to go week to week and whatever we're doing defensively and whatever we're gonna see offensively, being able to turn the page and kind of get the game plan down, so to speak. We just still got our MAs, right? Like, we gotta eliminate them. Still got our MAs, but at the same time, I think as a whole, and the number overall has been decreased. Welcome. Welcome to our last year, Mr. Sanchez. How much of an advantage from that? Yeah, I mean, I think when you're home and it's loud, I think that's a huge aspect of it, right? You can't always hear what's going on. You gotta be able to communicate without talking, right? So I think that's a huge part of it. It's a fine line between make sure you get the call but make sure you're ready when that ball snap too, where you're not looking around everywhere, but gotta be able to do it just because of the noise.
