00:00You don't know when you're going to make a play, so you always just got to go 100, and that's
00:05what I just was trying to do that game, and that's what happens when you play like your hair on
00:11fire, basically.
00:12Well, your head on fire for me, but I think that's just what I want to go out there and
00:18do, just play hard and play fast.
00:21Go ahead, Dan.
00:22They traded for David Montgomery in the offseason. They gave him 20 times in the league line. I'm sure you've
00:26seen him in the past. What do you think of him and the rest of the team?
00:29He's dangerous if we don't get on him. I think up front, we just got to make a wall and
00:34make him stop his feet and wrap him up and bring him down.
00:39He's a strong, tough guy. He's proven that, and our job is just to go get him and go tackle
00:44him.
00:45Dexter, how did you think Joe Burrow looked at practice today?
00:48I mean, I'm on the defense. I'm not looking too much over there.
00:53How important would it be for this team against what we think is going to be a very good Texans
00:58team to win and start 2-0?
01:01That's important because the goal is to go 1-0 this week, and they're in the way, and we just
01:06got to go out there and play our game and play with each other and just have joy every time
01:11we step on that field
01:12and understand the opportunity we have to just play with one another and just go out there and keep a
01:18clean record.
01:19When the team goes out and trades their first-round pick for you and the defense creates four turnovers, scores
01:25the first touchdown of the season,
01:27how much of a lift is that for you guys on the defensive side of the ball?
01:30It's good. It just shows the work that we've just been putting in, honestly.
01:35We've seen it in practice over and over.
01:39It's game time, so we get to show the world the work we've been putting in.
01:43Is there anything you've heard about Joe Burrow after playing anything again?
01:48He just does a good job.
01:51It's points in the game where we've got to have it, or he's holding the drive extra long, getting the
01:57first down and big distances,
02:01keeping the defense off the field, allowing us to rest a little bit, and I just appreciate that a lot.
02:10It just gives us time to communicate and just give us time to just rest a little bit.
02:19It was a hot one out there that day, so we appreciate that.
02:24Next one, what is the next challenge of the team?
02:28He's dangerously fast.
02:31If we give him some gaps within the rush, he'll take it and go for like 15, and his arm
02:40is very accurate,
02:41so we just got to collapse the pocket on him, get our hands up, tip some balls, just make him
02:46real uncomfortable,
02:47keep guys at his feet.
02:48Pass rush discipline.
02:50Yeah, for sure.
02:52Nobody on the D-line had to play 40 snaps last week.
02:55How did that impact you during the game, and do you feel better several days later?
03:00No, you're still within them car wrecks.
03:06You really don't want to come out feeling too good, but I think we had a good rotation going.
03:13Coach did a good job keeping guys in and out, and we've got enough guys that can go out there
03:19and play high-quality snaps, so that's the best thing about it.
03:22Pro football focus as the Texans O-line ranks 31st in the league.
03:27Obviously, those are numbers that I'm sure you don't agree with, but when you scout them, what kind of jumps
03:31off the page?
03:33They work well together.
03:35They got some big monsters on the outside, and inside, they flow well together within.
03:42I think we just got to divide them and make them become individuals.
03:47Thank you, sir.
03:47Did you also.
03:48Yes, sir?
03:48Good?
03:49And to the audience, please wait.
