00:00They generate about as many TFLs as anybody in the country, and I think they have the

00:07most TFLs of any opponent against you guys.

00:10What is it that they do so effectively to be able to generate that pressure, not just

00:14in sacks, but yes, also in sacks?

00:16Yeah, I mean, obviously, they have great players, and then second to that, they have

00:20great schemes.

00:21I mean, when you look at the stems they do, you know, some pressures, all those things,

00:25just even players winning their one on ones on the edges, edges do a great job.

00:28So I think Tech was a good game for us.

00:31I think they're the best front in the country, so, you know, getting to look at those guys

00:34and end up to these guys, which is another great unit, I think would be good for us.

00:38Second row, John?

00:39You mentioned Tech being a good game for you, especially with their linebackers being two

00:42of the best in the country.

00:43Indiana is another team with really good linebackers.

00:45They're out there in a base personnel a lot.

00:47Just how do you think that Tech game is going to prepare you for facing those linebackers

00:49again, especially when it's you and Jamari out there now?

00:52Yeah, like I said, really similar matchup for us.

00:54You know, Tech's linebackers are amazing, and these linebackers are amazing as well.

00:57So I think it's just going back to the technique thing.

01:00You know, when it comes down to good on good, it's really who has better technique

01:03and who wants it more.

01:04Front row, James?

01:07I do want to mention that Dan had said something about teams in March Madness

01:10and how they peak at the right time.

01:11Just can you convey a little bit more about what that message was

01:14and what you took from that one?

01:16Yeah.

01:17You know, it comes down to who plays their best ball in November and December.

01:20I mean, leading into January now, how long the season is.

01:23But, no, it's really you need to peak at the right time.

01:27You see a lot of teams, you know, peak in the middle of the season or stuff like that

01:30and then kind of just trend downhill.

01:31But, no, it's kind of about just staying on like the steady, you know, climb up the mountain.

01:35So I think that's kind of preached on.

01:36I think we're doing a really good job of it.
