1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,920
Speaker 1: Where do you go from here? Where do we go

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:08,039
Speaker 1: from here? Keep on trucking? You know, I uh check

3
00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 1: my phone after I don't get any texts after lost.

4
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:12,399
Speaker 1: People know how to talk to me after the loss.

5
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:14,319
Speaker 1: I think I'll be really upset a lot of texts

6
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 1: after wins. Um. But I see, you know, the Chiefs

7
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:22,320
Speaker 1: lose the game with nail biter to lose a touchdown

8
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 1: with thirty seconds left there one and two. I see

9
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:26,440
Speaker 1: the Ravens have to kick a six or six yard

10
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 1: field going to beat the Lions. That's in nature of

11
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 1: this game. It comes down a lot of this game's parody,

12
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 1: and it comes down the last second place. We obviously

13
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:36,240
Speaker 1: saw the Chiefs game a couple of days ago with

14
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:38,239
Speaker 1: the fort with the forced phone with then, but it's

15
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 1: gonna come down and then we gotta make stops with

16
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 1: them to win the game, or our offense gotta convert

17
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 1: down to win the game. That's just how this league is.

18
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 1: I understand, Um, people may feel like it's falling right now,

19
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:51,200
Speaker 1: but the day you have two nail biters and didn't

20
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 1: make the necessary plays to win it. But should if

21
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 1: you lose every game? You know, every time you lose

22
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: a game by a field goal or last second kick,

23
00:00:58,560 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: or don't make the play and you go on the tank.

24
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 1: Then it's hard to hard to succeed in this league.

25
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 1: So I just don't think that panic is necessarily they're

26
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 1: I just gotta keep moving forward and clean up those

27
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 1: mistakes a defense. Two weeks in a row, you're on

28
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 1: the field. You know you can slam the door shut.

29
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 1: Two weeks in a row they kick fix um. I mean,

30
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 1: you see, you identify what this issue is, and they're

31
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: different plays, different players, different schemes, um, different game plans,

32
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: and you just try to take the play for what

33
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,399
Speaker 1: it is. The screen of Courtell Patterson at the end

34
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,040
Speaker 1: of game was a really nice call to the defense

35
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:36,400
Speaker 1: that we had called. That's a really good call and uh,

36
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: that's tough. I mean, that's a good player get the

37
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 1: ball in his hands, and basically the defense we had call,

38
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,039
Speaker 1: it's a tough It's just it's just in a chess game,

39
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 1: it's a tough move. So credit to Art Smith. He's

40
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: a really good coordinator. I obviously won some games with

41
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: art Um and a good coach, and that was just

42
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: a good play call to get them in field goal

43
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: position and the rest We're trying to defend every inch,

44
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 1: punch the ball out, try to get you know, try

45
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: to do over do whatever we gotta do to make

46
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 1: a miraculous play then the game. But that's just a

47
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 1: good call. Hats off to them. But I don't really

48
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: let one loss going to the other. I only let

49
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,919
Speaker 1: one play dictate the other. I gotta I gotta to

50
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: play dB be a captain on this team. You gotta

51
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 1: taken one play at a time, one game and a

52
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,839
Speaker 1: time on to the next one. People see the same

53
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 1: things happening over and over, right, you guys losing tight

54
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 1: games at the end, So why is why did you

55
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: say they should have hope that you guys are going

56
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 1: to get it together? What do you see that? We

57
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: got to give them hope, right, We gotta give them

58
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: hope so they don't nobody, you know, doesn't deserve to

59
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 1: give us hope, right, And then you gotta earn that.

60
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 1: You gotta earn a trust and earn the hope of

61
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: the fan base and everyone like that. So that's what

62
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 1: we're doing. But for me up here today, I don't

63
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 1: lose hope because I go to work regardless, I go

64
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: to work every day. We put the work in. You

65
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: lose by a field goal, oh, man, the season is over.

66
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 1: You lose by a field goal, Man, the season definitely over.

67
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: That's just not the case. I mean, we're gonna go

68
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:55,679
Speaker 1: back to work. I think we play a lot better

69
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: defense today. I think at the end of the game,

70
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: um situation, we didn't our best ball. We gotta figure

71
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: that out. We didn't play great too minute defense in

72
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: the first quarter they get in a second quarter, they

73
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,119
Speaker 1: get a turnover. We go out there and we get

74
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 1: a turnover. That's a good response, and we don't respond there.

75
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: You guys will be right. And how we can't get

76
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: a stop in two minute, we gotta stop in two

77
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 1: minut today. So I think we cleaned up a lot

78
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,679
Speaker 1: of things. I think we had a lot of our targets.

79
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:19,359
Speaker 1: I just think unfortunate at the end of the game

80
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: we didn't get the stops we need. And then listen,

81
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: this is the business. Is a production business, and it's

82
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 1: about wins and losses. So you don't win the game, obviously,

83
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: there could be a lot of panic. But I just

84
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: I try to bring a little poise um and some

85
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,359
Speaker 1: experience there that you know, you can't lose your mind

86
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: after every loss, given what happened, given what happened at

87
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: the end of the game the past two weeks, is

88
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: this defense overrated? That's all that's up to you. And

89
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 1: we don't rate ourselves, you know, PFF rates us. We don't.

90
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: We don't rate ourselves. So we go out there and

91
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 1: play and at the end of the game, Uh, this

92
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: time last year, probably the thirty second ranked defense, and

93
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: we finished somewhere better than that. So we don't rate ourselves. Man,

94
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 1: we keep on trucking. And if you've got guys on

95
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: defense that worry about their ratings and their rankings and

96
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: and and what they should be, it could be that's

97
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: not That's not why you play defense. You scratch and

98
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 1: call every play, and you make some stops, they make

99
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: some plays on you, and you go out and you

100
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: play again. That's why a lot of people can't play defense.

101
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: And nowadays because Twitter and hot hot reactions, they're afraid

102
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: to get embarrassed. I got out there, I got stiff

103
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: farm today. I dropped a pick today. But guess what

104
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 1: people know, those guys another team, they shook my hand.

105
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: They know I bring it every game. I'm gonna get

106
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: around the ball. I'm gonna force fumbles. I'm gonna make tackles.

107
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 1: If I miss a tackle, I miss a tackle. If

108
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:28,160
Speaker 1: I miss a pick, I miss a pick. But I

109
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 1: made a lot of picks in my career, and I

110
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 1: closed out a lot of games, so that didn't close

111
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: it out. But I gotta shooters mentality. I keep on going.

112
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 1: I'm not afraid to be out there in the big moments.

113
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: I'm not afraid if I make a mistake. I go

114
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 1: out there. And that's why I'm a leader of this team.

115
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 1: When a team is as young as you guys are,

116
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: is it any harder to keep guys off when the

117
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 1: team is down than when you have a lot of

118
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 1: veterans and a lot of guys who've been there. I

119
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: think I think the league is relatively young. The league's

120
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: I think the league is relatively young. I think I

121
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: think our team isn't that young. I think we have

122
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 1: key experienced players. We have quarterbacks have been the system,

123
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: running backs who've uh who've been here a couple of years.

124
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 1: We've got offensive players Chef and Goladay who have made

125
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 1: place for years. We got a deep guys all over

126
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: the defense. I've made place for her has played a

127
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 1: lot of ball. So I mean, we might be young

128
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 1: in some areas, but I think we have plenty of

129
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,160
Speaker 1: better leadership and we have plenty experience. I just think

130
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:20,719
Speaker 1: the league in general is a lot younger than it

131
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 1: used to be. And I'm sure Atlanta, I mean, I mean,

132
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan's really old, so that might help their age,

133
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: but I don't, I really don't know the age is

134
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 1: difference and all that stuff. But uh, I think everyone's

135
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: dealing with, you know, some youth, but that's just the league. Story.

136
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: Came in and talked about his miss what he did

137
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 1: when he missed interception. You had a couple out yere

138
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: as well. Can you take us through what you saw

139
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 1: out there on your misses and also what the penalty

140
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 1: you'll face in the DV room this week for um? Yeah,

141
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: so you know the first one, Um, I'm rolling over

142
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: to the half of the field and I'm trying to

143
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: make a break on the receiver. I see the ball

144
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 1: stone high, so it's kind of coming out of a

145
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 1: weird break, UM, and trying to make a playing the

146
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 1: ball contorting my body and didn't come down with the catch. UM,

147
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: so hit my hands, got to catch it, but it

148
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: wasn't like my man threw it right to me and

149
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: I just dropped it. I was trying to contort to

150
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,599
Speaker 1: make the catch. And the other one. Uh something I

151
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: really put a lot of work in is playing the

152
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 1: post safety. In the off season, we talked about that

153
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 1: and I put a lot of work. I think I

154
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 1: had a great, great read and break out the post

155
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: and I go to make up playing the ball, the

156
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,479
Speaker 1: receiver hit you know, bang bang, receiver hit my hands

157
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: off the ball. So yeah, people can sit there and

158
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 1: say they're misses and drops. I mean have to safety.

159
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 1: The league can get to those balls. But listen, I

160
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: want to be upperftional and safety and I want to

161
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:33,839
Speaker 1: make those plays in this league. And that's what they

162
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 1: paid me to do. And that's the guy I want

163
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 1: to be around here. And uh so, put it on me,

164
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 1: put the loss on me, put the drops on me.

165
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,720
Speaker 1: That's fine. I get on the drug machines. I'm here

166
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: four hours early before the game catching a hundred footballs

167
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: if any once here early, so my routine is there.

168
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: My confidence isn't isn't shaken, and I'm gonna come bring

169
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: it and make those plays for the team and close

170
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 1: out these games. Get some wins we're having on the

171
00:06:55,000 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 1: past interference. Yeah, man, I just uh passed, uh we passed. Uh.

172
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 1: Kyle Pitts off there and I end up on him

173
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 1: and Matt Ryan threw the ball to the felt like

174
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 1: the first row really high, and I dude's a lot

175
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: taller than me, probably jump a lot higher than me,

176
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 1: and I climbed the ladder to go make a playing

177
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 1: the ball. I feel like I'm looking at the ball.

178
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 1: Obviously there's some collision there, but if he was stiff

179
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 1: arming me to catch the ball, they're not gonna call nothing.

180
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: So I'm trying to you know, I'm trying to make

181
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 1: a play of the ball. But I'm five eleven with

182
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: a thirty five in fort He's six six whatever he got,

183
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 1: so I'm not gonna let him come down with it.

184
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 1: So I think it's bang, bang, let us play. I'm

185
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: playing the ball. You know we're gonna have to make

186
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: a play. But like I said, that's just the positions

187
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 1: I'm put in on this team. Um near the line

188
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 1: of scrimmage, in the post, covering pits. Gotta have situations.

189
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 1: That's just the situation they put me in. And uh,

190
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: they trust me to make those plays. Sometimes you do,

191
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 1: sometimes you don't. But I trust the team is gonna

192
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 1: put me those situations again have a different result. The

193
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: first touch shown. I gotta see the fellow now exactly

194
00:07:54,880 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 1: sure you see that they flicked I did it. Man.

195
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 1: It's it's hard to play defense nowadays, man that you know, Uh,

196
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 1: physicality is not rewarded anymore for the defense, almost the penalty.

197
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 1: So unfortunately, that's just how they call it. Hopefully doesn't

198
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 1: get fine. I don't think he deserves that, but if

199
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: it looks bad, they're gonna call it. And I just

200
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 1: think it was It's how you teach it. I don't know.

201
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 1: Fortunate
