DL Shelby Harris on Week 10 loss

SPEAKER_1 (0:00)

So, your defense comes up with a couple of take aways in the final five and a half minutes of the game, but then the end result still goes the wrong way. How difficult is that to digest?

Shelby Harris (0:10)

You know, it's tough to digest, but at the end of the day, we had an opportunity to get off the field as a defense, and we didn't. So, no matter how you want to look at it, we as a defense had an opportunity to not let them score those last points, and they did. So, for us, it's just a matter of we got to go back and look at us and figure out.

Really, I guess the biggest thing is stopping them after we score, because there was a couple of times today where they would score, like we would score on offense, and then we would go give up a score, and we can't let that happen. And I think we got to be able to keep the momentum and give it back to our offense, and we got to turn those scores into three and outs after we get a score so we can get the ball right back, but we didn't today. And so that was an issue.

SPEAKER_1 (0:54)

You guys have been so good with the dramatic finishes this year. I would assume your confidence was high, and you certainly believe that you would stop them again on defense, even though they had a number of opportunities in the final minutes.

Shelby Harris (1:05)

Well, we believe that we're going to stop them every time. That's the making of a great defense.

They've got one over on us today, and credit to them for staying resilient and fighting the whole game. But for us as the defense, we got to be able to make those plays and get those stops.

SPEAKER_1 (1:23)

How difficult was it to do with Daniel? So you had the 100 yards rushing against you guys the first time, but today you did a better job of trying to contain him.

Shelby Harris (1:31)

Well, you know, he's such a dynamic player with the way he can move around the pocket and really get out of the pocket. So, you know, it's always going to be a dynamic effort trying to stop him because he obviously with his arm and with his movement abilities. But, you know, it's just a matter of everyone just trying to do their job to lock in and especially when it comes to rush lanes and just trying to stop him.

SPEAKER_1 (1:52)

And finally, you know, being a veteran, how division games are doubly important. How do you put this one into perspective now that it's over and it went the wrong way?

Shelby Harris (2:00)

No, it's over.

That's the best way to explain it. It's over and you got to forget about it. I know it hurts, but, you know, you just got to move on to the next one. You got to take this little break we're going to have. We're going to have three days off and, you know, we've got to come back ready to play the Jags.
