yeah I think my go-to is just the like the flex right in front I mean I really don't have any other move but yeah I think um just celebrating with my teammates and uh hearing the crowd Roar and all that stuff it's uh yeah super exciting how about uh playing with Y black and how that helps you yeah I mean gosh why does not get enough credit especially today he had a double team about every single play which allowed me to make plays myself so um I think why does a dirty work and it does it well and he frees me up he frees up the other guys to do their jobs and so very appreciative of is it kind of a weight off your shoulders when you get those fre sacks today just like again having put in so much hard work the last couple years kind of having to be just a backup guy but now you come in and you get to be a little bit of the defensive star today yeah I think um it's very relieving um you know we put in the work since last January and then um to see it to see it come come to FR Russian today is uh yeah I would say it's very uh humbling yeah rewarding rewarding yeah how much does defense take pride ma shed out keeping that zero on the board I mean is it the defense of equivalent of scoring 40 points basically oh yeah for sure I mean Riley monster is on our sideline today and after I think we're up like 22 or Z or something like that he was like grav they don't freaking score one point today and I was like d right Riley and so that to I was super fun verying when's the last time you had three sets in one half does that ever happen um um i' say the Shrine Bowl my senior year of high school I had four sex and two quarters in play so i' say that was probably my most productive two quarters so yeah did this feel better Johnson Yep this one probably feel a little better I going against a little more uh higher higher level competition and to beide K obviously is very very fun like to see the offense kind of have some success I mean the defense has been you know the star of this team for so long and it's nice to see them get a little bit of moment yeah for sure I mean they just been putting so much work working their tails off and um you know no matter what anybody says about them or the narrative that's been out there they just put their head down work and you really seen that come to to life today U that work and so it's very nice to see them see them have their time of the spotlight for sure what did Seth Wallace say to you guys at halftime it's I'm sure it's a different Dynamic wasn't like the prettiest first half I guess as a team so what did what did he say I would say I mean we kind of have a saying like just keep pounding the rock um you know it might not break the first first or the second hit but if you just keep at it keep going you're eventually going to break through and that's exactly what happened so we just knew if we we did our jobs and keep working at it we're going to break through there eventually and that's what happened
