1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:04,080
Speaker 1: Red. How you doing good, Michael, Oh, Well, I guess

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:06,080
Speaker 1: I wanted to start a little bit with the run

3
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:10,080
Speaker 1: defense and just understanding that it's obviously full team, you know,

4
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 1: full unit stuff. Um, from your perspective on the defensive line,

5
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 1: I was curious what you're seeing there from from the guys.

6
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 1: I guess specific to the last game, and you know

7
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:24,439
Speaker 1: that maybe needs to get tightened up because the the

8
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 1: other guys seemed to make some Hey they're in the

9
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 1: run game. You're talking about our last game from from

10
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:32,560
Speaker 1: this past weekend or are you talking about Baltimore? Well,

11
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 1: I was talking about the last game and even a

12
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 1: little bit before that, um, you know, but but specifically

13
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 1: this last game, Bright, absolutely, you know. I think the

14
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 1: biggest thing that we start with as a foundation here

15
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 1: is we always wanted to make sure that we defend

16
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 1: the run and stop the run, and and you know,

17
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 1: the part that we were able to do at times

18
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 1: this past weekend were good, but we didn't play with

19
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 1: the consistency that we expect or what we want. So

20
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 1: we fight ourselves on being able to have smart, tough,

21
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 1: defendable players and I think that they'll work on that

22
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 1: this week and try to improve on their deficiencies that

23
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: we may have shown in the path and improve on

24
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 1: our strengths and see where we can end up on Sunday.

25
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 1: And I'm looking at the Baltimore now as I look ahead,

26
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: sort of looking at their depth chart now and their

27
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 1: offensive line Stanley, um, you know, and Brown at the tackles,

28
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 1: and then obviously Marshall and then start in one of

29
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: the guard spots. What does this line look like in

30
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,759
Speaker 1: terms of the challenges that they present to your guys. Well,

31
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 1: they're they're big, they're physical, Um, they consume people. They

32
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 1: they're very very I think as a group, play very

33
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 1: well together. They understand what they're doing, what they're doing

34
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: on every play. They have special playmakers around them. I

35
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: can't say enough good things about you know, obviously Jackson

36
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: what he's been able to accomplish, but behind them, to

37
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: have a running back on the perimeter, to have the

38
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: speed that they have, and then the big guys up front.

39
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 1: It's a very very formitable task and one's that's got

40
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: a pull attention and obviously in our preparation as we

41
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: go into the week. Thank you, yep, all right, Next question,

42
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 1: Nicko Mallick called by Evan lazzar Hey Brett Nick. I

43
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 1: want to ask what the lawrenck guy interception in the

44
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 1: Browns game. How much is that something that can be

45
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 1: sort of drilled into in practice, and how much penetrating

46
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 1: the backfield is How much is that is Lawrence making

47
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: up reading the play, reading the fact that was a screen,

48
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: or how much is it just getting into the backfield

49
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,799
Speaker 1: and just making a great reaction. I think the part

50
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 1: that jumped out Lawrence over the last year and a

51
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 1: half is just he obviously is a defensive linement, but

52
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,519
Speaker 1: it instincts and his intelligence are very, very unique to

53
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 1: that skill set. On that play in particular, I think

54
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: was just him reading, understanding and comprehending in a very

55
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: short amount of time what he needed to do, and

56
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 1: then just the wherewithal to make the play. We do

57
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: some bad ball drills on Friday, and they always giving

58
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 1: me a hard time because I can't good ball. That

59
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 1: was perfect. You know, that wasn't a great ball right

60
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: to him. I wasn't supposed to go to him. But

61
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: he made the play, so he he definitely took advantage

62
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:13,399
Speaker 1: at the moment. You know. Again, I think that he's

63
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 1: a guy that has been more consistent for us in

64
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,359
Speaker 1: every game. Depending on his roles. It chained week to week,

65
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: whether he's playing inside over the guard in that situation,

66
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: he's playing over the tackle. There's tigns where he plays

67
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 1: the noose position. He's just a very versatile player, very

68
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: intelligent and epitomizes what we try to ask him to

69
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 1: do here in England. Thanks Brett, yep thanxt question ever

70
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: are Paul by Karen Greegan. Go ahead, Okay, Brett just

71
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: wanted to ask you about Baltimore and just how unique

72
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: is there's running schemes and you know how much of

73
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: a challenge is it to prepare for a team like

74
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: this that you know you can't replicate a Lamar Jackson

75
00:03:54,600 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: really in practice. Yes, he's a very talented player. They've

76
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: you know, throughout the course of the year, even going

77
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: back in last year when he took the reins. They

78
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 1: bring unique skill sets, they bring unique plays, they bring

79
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: unique personnel groupings um and kind of taking an old

80
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: school mentality to the game. But it all starts with him.

81
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: He's Jackson is a very very talented player. You can

82
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 1: tell he's very engaged in the plan and the plan

83
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:27,280
Speaker 1: rotates a little bit from where they were last year

84
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 1: to where they are this year. But a very challenging

85
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 1: task in front of us, and it's something that I

86
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 1: think it's exciting for our guys in the environment that

87
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: they will see up there on Sunday. And obviously all

88
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,039
Speaker 1: the success they've had this year is very easy to see,

89
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 1: he said. The plan rotates that rotated from this year

90
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 1: to last year. So where do you see the biggest

91
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 1: differences from last year this year with them? Just the

92
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 1: growth of Jackson. I think, you know, you obviously knew

93
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 1: about him in college because the skill set that he

94
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: brought m he's been able to I went straight this

95
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:02,719
Speaker 1: year as an ability to throw the ball, on the ball,

96
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 1: make the sasons after the ball has been snapped. He's

97
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: just a very very intelligent football player, competes at a

98
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 1: high level, very gifted, a guy that I think would

99
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 1: draw the attention of anybody that once he once you

100
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 1: see him on film just how much he brings to

101
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,720
Speaker 1: the game and a very exciting player in the in

102
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 1: the league. Thanks, Brett. Yeah, you know, it looks like

103
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 1: our final question to be Kerrey Greuthing. Go ahead, Karen, Yeah, Hi, Brett, Um,

104
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 1: I was just gonna how are you. UM, I was

105
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 1: just gonna ask if it was disappointing that things didn't

106
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 1: work out with Michael Bennett and what you would say

107
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: was the biggest factor why it didn't. Um. I guess

108
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 1: that everybody's view is different. You know, I actually think

109
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 1: that their time when Michael was you know, from the

110
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 1: time I met him last spring, you know, obviously knew

111
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 1: well about him, doing a lot about him just from

112
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 1: his career and what he's able to complis our first

113
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 1: meeting to know where we are now. Is a very

114
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 1: intelligent player, great talented player, someone who understands the league

115
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 1: and has obviously been able to build a great career

116
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 1: out of it. This time here was great. He was

117
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 1: able to obviously, you know, to help us win. The

118
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 1: ending is what I'm sure everybody focuses on. But I

119
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: think that the parts that were fun work with Mike

120
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,279
Speaker 1: is just to hear his knowledge, to see his skill set,

121
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 1: and you know, understand that now he's in a situation

122
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 1: that he feels good about or whatever the circumstances is around.

123
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 1: It's just a matter of what book played out in

124
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,480
Speaker 1: front of us. And it was a great benefit to

125
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 1: be around him in enjoyable time for me as a coach.

126
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 1: He portrays philosophical differences with you. Is that accurate? You know,

127
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: I think the parts that I loved about being a

128
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: defensive line coach here in New England is working with smart, tough,

129
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 1: dependable players, and Mike was that guy. He was a

130
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 1: guy that was in a role that it kind of

131
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,839
Speaker 1: changed every week from that first game to last week.

132
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: And then you know the part that he really continued

133
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 1: to demonstrate was he's a mic and Mike is a

134
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: guy that believes in himself and his abilities and there

135
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 1: is definitely no doubt in my mind that those will

136
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 1: be successful for him and if youture him. Thank you Brett,

137
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 1: Thanks everyone, Ye
