 What's up, girl? How are you doing? Good. You were racing the game. We talked to you last week. You were like, I'm ready for what I'm here. How does it feel to get that win? It's good. You know, it's good. But I think just we're at the point where we already moved on, you know, because it's another big game. It's another game with similar implications. We know that. The 49ers know that. And, you know, it's going to be a class of the Titans. So I'm excited for the opportunity to go out there and compete against a really good football team. Yeah, nah. It's the exact right word because, you know, it's hard for people to be consistent with their energy week in and week out. You know, you see let-downs, games here and there. But for us, I think we have great leaders on this team, you know, and we have a great head coach who's each and every day letting us know what we have to do to accomplish, what we have to accomplish each day so that we can get closer to being ready for the game and going out there and playing our best football on Sunday. A little bit later on after the second half of the game. Yeah. Like, what's that like, man? Because I know a lot of times a lot of guys get caught up as to whether or not to come in high. Yeah. You know, when you try to knock the ball down, you have to kind of go low. Yeah. What goes through your mind when you see the open opportunity to put it on the quarterback? I think it's a feel. I think it's a feel to where the quarterback is in his progression. I think if you're there, maybe a little late, I mean, you know, you're not going to get there. Maybe that's when you know, put the hands up and just trying to, you know, distract him a little bit or maybe, you know, tip the ball. But, you know, sometimes when you time that thing up, right? And the quarterback get the ball. You already running through that gap, you know, I had time to light him up, you know. I have the hardest thing. You see that, did you see where y'all are now happening? Yeah, for sure. I mean, the thing is, you know, when you come into a new system, you know, you got new head coach, new defensive coordinator. Sometimes you got to unlearn things to learn things. You know, you're so trained to do things a certain way. But, you know, when defense are different, it just takes time. You know, things have to become second nature or habits. And that's what we're creating. And I knew we had the talent. I knew we had the pieces. But sometimes, you know, it just, it takes time. And it has taken time. And, you know, some of us like it might have took too long. But I mean, we're at a position right now where we're playing meaningful games in December. And we truly believe our best football as a defense and even as a team, it's still out there for us to accomplish. What are some things, you know, it's about him that maybe other players and us sometimes do not see? Well, I say the first thing, he has great touch on the football. I mean, when you see his deep balls and just like intermediate throws that, you know, kind of go over the second level and just like, the second level and just dropping towards his hand, like it's, it's phenomenal. It's like one of the best, he has one of the best touch on the footballs in the game. Then, you know, he's a veteran guy, you know, he knows their offense. He knows what they're trying to accomplish. And he does a good job of running the offense for the 49ers. And when he plays well, the team plays well. So he knows that. And I'm looking forward to going out there and competing against him. And also, you talked about Garoppolo. He has a guy like throwing two deeps outside of the Samuel. What have you just noticed in this game? I'm not asking for us to mad. You guys kind of make sure that you just alert like he wants to go there. Oh, yeah. I think we just got alert where Deebo is. I mean, Deebo is one of the most excited football players in the league. I mean, he'll take a screen for 80, you know, he'll run deep and he'll catch it. Like then he'll get a toss and then he'll go up the sideline for 50. So I mean, they do a good job of just putting the ball in his hand because he's just a natural playmaker. And every play he's out there, we got to identify where he is. If he's in the backfield, if he's in the slot, if he's outside and just know where he is and where they like to get him the ball from that point. What about it out? You know, they're similar. But at the end of the day, I'll take CP. As opposed to Eric, just because of the experience factor, do you feel like you have to talk more, do more or whatever? No, because I think Hulk has a great understanding of what we're trying to accomplish on defense. And I think, you know, the coaches have done a good job of, you know, just getting them in there throughout the year. You know, it's been times where, you know, he gets a serious for me. He gets a serious for Eric. And, you know, as a coaching staff and as a team, you do that for situations like this. So like if somebody, one of the guys go down, you have a guy who's been out there, who knows what to do, who's been in the fire. And it's really like no sudden change, like no big change. Now, is he Eric? No, because Eric, you know, he's played football for a long time. But I think we'll still be able to go out there and get accomplished on what we want to accomplish. And he'll have a great understanding of what we're trying to do. Can I run the whole defense? That you've been running with him there? Without a doubt, because when he goes in there, the defense doesn't change. You know, Dean doesn't say, well, Hulk's in there. We're only going to do this. We're not going to do that. The defense is the defense. And he's done a good job, a great job when he's in there going in there and making plays. He's got some interceptions. He's got some PBU, some great tackle. So obviously we're going to miss Eric because the leadership and the veteran presence that he had, it will be missed. But I think Hulk is in a good position in a good place to go out there and go play some good football. And we'll be able to rely on him and keep this train running the right way. Like I said, I mean, just his veteran leadership, his calmness, you know, great teammate. You know, he goes out there. He always does everything the right way. And, you know, we're going to miss him. But I mean, that's the NFL, you know, injuries happen. Eric's going to be around. He's going to be giving us, you know, so that veteran leadership from the side. So we're going to have to lean on him that way. But, you know, the show has to go on and we have to move forward and we have to get ready for a tough opponent in the 49ers this Sunday. No, no conversation. No conversation needed because at the moment, you know, we're in the midst of a game. We're still trying to win. I think that happened. Who was that? First quarter? First quarter or something like that. So it was so much that, you know, we just had to be focused on. And, you know, we've seen him at half-time and, you know, we said what we said. But, you know, we had to do everything. We kind of get a win. And it's the same mindset this week. What do you feel a bit different from what you said? Did it get home to get to the quarterback? What do you feel a bit different from the first one? I just think just reps, you know, reps just over and over running our stuff, seeing the mistakes, learning from them. And then, you know, when those same situations coming up, we're improving, you know. So I just think just constant reps, constant improvement. And God's just really just putting in the work to try to make it work, you know. And that's where we're headed. And that's why, like I said, I really think our best football head is still, you know, our best football is still ahead of us. Football. Yes. How do you feel like this defense has been doing that? Yeah, for sure. I think just from a awareness standpoint, you know, we're understanding where people are trying to attack us. So we're aware, like, all right, you know, this team is going to try to attack us. And this defense is going to attack us this place. So now, okay, we're seeing, okay, this is where they want to attack us. We're prepared for it. And we're not letting them do it, you know. Awareness on, like, third and third down. Like, you know, just awareness. Awareness and understanding and just constant improvement. So I think when you have all of those together, you have no choice but to take a step in the right direction. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it's going to be tough, you know. Obviously, his veteran leadership, his play, his personality, just everything that Eric bought to the table. And it won't just be, you know, just one guy that replaces what he do. It's going to be, you know, it's going to be multiple guys. But we had full faith in, you know, Jalen and Richie and Sean to go out there and, you know, do their job at a high level and just not have this defense miss a beat. Yeah, just, you know, being disciplined. Staying in your gaps, reading your keys. Because, like you said, it's a lot of smoking mirrors. A lot of misdirection this way. And, you know, that's where they really get people, you know. They see this jet sweep going this way. Then, you know, they're looking over here. But then they're bringing the tight end back and they're running back and they're running over here and then they're gashing for, you know, 15-20. When you get a guy like D. Bill Samuel, you know, up-free, 15 yards, you know, it's hard to stop that guy. So, we've got to be sounding our gaps. We've got to be sounding our coverage and just making sure everybody's getting to the ball and tackling because they have some very, very dynamic players when they get the ball in the hands. Don't give me a trouble. All right, all right. All right, what do we got? What do we got? What do you remember about the game against them? Yeah, I mean, just... What do you remember about that whole scenario? Just that they scored when they shouldn't have scored. That's the basis, you know. They had the game one and, you know, which one called it scored. And we, at that point, we knew if Matt just had a chance, it'd be a good chance for us. When you look at, like, these are the last three games where there's been weird things. Uh-huh. Can that? Yeah. Like, I mean, sometimes, you know, even sometimes when you get just rival games, you know, just the games just always sometimes have weird finishes. When that time come up, you know, whatever way it finish, I hope I'm on the right side. That's the right side. All right. All good? All right, no problem. Have a good one.
