00:00 >> What seemed to be the issue not being able to get off the field in the first half?
00:03 They were like seven or ten, you're on third down.
00:06 What did you see from your perspective?
00:08 >> I thought the calls were great.
00:09 We just had to do a better job of executing and not panicking.
00:12 Cuz third down is the money down, so pressure's up on that down.
00:15 We had to do a better job not panicking and executing the call better.
00:19 >> You had ten tackles today, a couple of behind the line scrimmage.
00:24 What was your role today?
00:26 >> The tackling today, I had to be more physical, it runs better.
00:31 It wasn't really a pass game to be aware of, so I just had to sit and be physical.
00:38 >> You're one of the veterans on the team,
00:40 what was your message to your group at halftime?
00:42 >> Don't panic.
00:43 I think I love this group because there is no panic.
00:46 When adversity hits, there's no hesitation.
00:49 We all just ready to go and compete.
00:51 >> Georgia Tech exploited the middle of the field a lot, especially in the passing game.
00:55 What did they see in the defense that caused them to do that?
00:59 >> I don't know, all we can control is our execution and
01:01 it has to be better cuz that can happen.
01:04 [BLANK_AUDIO]
01:07 >> Back to the halftime, coming up later,
01:09 not that you all want to have you doing this, but two weeks in a row,
01:12 the defense has kind of answered the bell and said,
01:14 what does that mean heading into now the slate of conference play?
01:18 Don't you kind of have been tested that way twice?
01:21 >> It leads to more confidence, more confidence in coach, more confidence in
01:24 our cause, and we can ride behind coach because he's always even keeled no matter
01:29 the situation, and we can always be counting on to respond.
01:33 >> Where do you think this defense is through three games?
01:36 Is it where you can do a lot more improvement or just a little bit?
01:40 Where do you think you got going, correct?
01:42 >> I think we show a lot of promise, but it's time to capitalize on that promise,
01:46 especially with SEC play coming up.
01:48 So we show a lot of promise and potential, but
01:51 it's time to execute because we're gonna play to play now.
01:53 [BLANK_AUDIO]
02:03 >> What do you feel like is standing between you guys in that execution right
02:08 now?
02:09 What needs to happen for you guys to get there?
02:11 >> I can't really have an answer to that question.
02:14 I just think it's doing it, it's all action.
02:17 We can talk through the checks and all that, but it's all action.
02:20 [BLANK_AUDIO]
02:27 >> Do you like the rotation of so many players back there,
02:31 keeping you fresh, or would you rather just play on through?
02:35 >> I love the rotation.
02:36 In competitive nature, I always wanna play every snap, but I cracked today.
02:40 So the rotation helped me out a lot, keeping the snap down,
02:43 making sure my body was fresh.
02:44 And when I'm cramping up out, I can count on those guys to come in and
02:47 do the same thing or not better.
02:49 So I love that.
