go ahead you got two more today what's what is the difference between you now Max said you're healthy is that is simple as healthy or or what else is there to it uh like I said last week uh just knowing what I'm doing you know what I'm saying studying making sure the film is Right making sure we going out there executing the play I mean I didn't get that s because of me I got the S because we ran that right play with me and Tyler and you got Josh and B on the other side run the right play that's how the say happened so I'm not going to say that you know came from me it came from just as getting play the right way do you find that you're quicker off the snap now than maybe you were before and how much that has a to do with some of the stuff that Ted's taught you uh honestly just you know just knowing what I'm doing uh you know last year I played a a lot of positions and stuff like that I feel like me just focusing on just one is allowed me to just change my game and just allow me to just focus on that one play and just that one play even that one uh position and just allow me to cach the young guys even better because you'll see they've been getting getting off the ball faster as well so it's just been helpful for me and the team um what was going through your head after the big sack of 1255 left in the fourth quarter um I wanted to do this dance I've been doing all week uh really uh I just I don't know I'm just playing n nothing was going through my head for real I just wanted this to win I wanted it to have a big win too and just you know being in the first home game I wanted this to win big that was and how was um the five sacks in the first two games have big confidence builder for you moving forward uh honestly just ball next week you know I haven't really it it's not going to hit me you know what I'm saying I just want to just ball next week you know what I'm saying I want to go one another next week good stuff how do you feel like the defense played overall obviously when you made the sack on Brown he left the game pretty soon after that brought in a freshman they got some passing yards in the game how do you feel like just overall def uh honestly I feel like we can play a lot better than what we did you know what I'm saying uh we we left a lot of you know I'm saying we we call it money we left a lot of that on the table out there uh I feel like I could have played better I feel like all of us could have played better you know we we went out there and won which all is all that matters but of course I thought i' play way better Javari when did you when did you guys first find out that Cayman wasn't going to play today and just what was your initial reaction to hearing that news and seeing the other guys step up uh honestly I just you know reached out to him and told him to get better told him and pray for him as always love him up cuz I mean we can't wait to see him back out there was it but like when went during the week was that like Thursday uh I no have answer for that one I just you know what I'm saying like I said I just reached out to him told him to get better and we going to see him out there pretty soon and how would you say the younger guys like Tyler Thompson those guys stepped up in his absence oh they stepped up big time I mean just coming in playing they both never played and then well they played last year but them playing a big game like that coming in um I feel like they stepped up for sure we had a lot of trust in them they did great in practice this week they've been doing great all camp and even the Spring ball and so of course you know next man up is what we say you we have trust in you so we have trust in them boys they play really well Javari we talked to you obviously right after the game in Minnesota the other night but in the days that have passed since then who had the best comment to you like who was hyped up the most about those three sacks you had up there like what were the things you were hearing from people that were fired up for you honestly I was just hearing a lot from my family I mean they told me about it you know the game uh they told me about it again the following day and after that they was like let's go do it again so um for my girlfriend for my brother for my mama I mean my brother you know me and my brother we always competing and stuff like that so he's like go do it again prove me wrong I said I got you so I'm go I'm just go out there each and every game and go do that do you really practice the sack dance during the week you said do I practice the sack dance sack dance no I just watch Tik Tok honestly you me something about sack dance something that you get a little bit more play now you good you mentioned uh some of your sexs being a result of you know some of the other guys Mak the plays you know on the that line what you kind of feel like is working as a defensive line unit as a whole that's creating even creating those opportunities for yourself for you know some of the other guys that even had sacks last week uh I mean just us just going out there and executing every play you know what I'm saying we get the call from coach cins we go out there and do it it's not more so it's like one person did this one person did that we I mean we all did it I mean it was it was our play you know what I'm saying one of us got the T but it was we all made the play J five do you think that um coach Collins and T monino their philosophies have been a huge part of your improved success these past two games oh yeah for sure I mean with them you know bringing them in bringing in uh coach Lindsay you know everybody has a whole bunch of knowledge everybody has a whole bunch of experience and just us just getting coach you know what I'm saying with a lot of experience has allowed us to elevate our game just you know what I'm saying just in practice just in film I mean we all have more knowledge and ever just because of all the you know what I'm saying ogs that have come in just to help us out you feel so you have more knowledge when you did when you were I personally say I have I have more knowledge you know what I'm saying because it's a lot of things I didn't know at one point which I'm not taking that away from last year we had knowledge last year but it's just more so we just have more experience coming in and that's brought a lot to the table for us did you know that Coach Collins wear your J5 shirt he said press conf now he told me about he sent me a pict he pulled up he pulled up his his top and shut his shirt yeah I thought I thought that was cool I appreciate it you just get him to wear it again this Monday that's his choice maybe wear CER record shirt you know what I'm saying whoever shirt where I'm I'm going love it up you know what I'm saying you mentioned last year how you played both on the end and then the interior this year it's mainly just on the interior was that a something Ted brought to you about or something you kind of thought you were more comfortable with or I guess how much more comfortable are you now just kind of more so on the interior Focus uh honestly whatever they want me to do I'm going go out there and do it you know what I'm saying they told me to focus on just playing three Tech this year and so I've been watching a lot of film watching a lot of techniques I can possibly change with my game um I feel like for me just doing things that's going to help me play a better three technique position has changed how I'm playing and that's probably been the biggest thing is just him telling me out just focus on this and then ball with that I said I got you so all right change it up thanks for apprciate
