1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:04,360
Speaker 1: All right, sounds good, Stephanie. Adrian, how you doing today?

2
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:07,880
Speaker 1: Good about you, mamma good. I just wanted to apologize

3
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 1: for our slow start here. We weren't we weren't prepared.

4
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 1: That's on the media five yards for delay of interview. Yeah,

5
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:22,640
Speaker 1: we won't let it happen again. All right, cool? All right?

6
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 1: So I want to ask you, m Houston Texans heading

7
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 1: down for the game down there, as you assess their offense, um,

8
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 1: what is standing out to you in terms of the

9
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:35,879
Speaker 1: challenges that they present to you. I mean, they do

10
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 1: a lot of things, you know, a lot of misdirection,

11
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,599
Speaker 1: They do a few different personnels and you know, they

12
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 1: kind of have guys where they have multiple guys that

13
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:50,200
Speaker 1: can do a lot of things that it's just it's

14
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 1: going to be one of those games where you have

15
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: to like hone in on your keys and you got

16
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 1: to do that every week, but especially with a team

17
00:00:56,360 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 1: like this, a different quarterback chatting in this that offense

18
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: a little bit like you really have to play your

19
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:07,960
Speaker 1: keys and and like study what the game plan is.

20
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 1: And Adrian, I did want to ask you, what is

21
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 1: your reaction to Stefan and the news this week? You

22
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,960
Speaker 1: know that he was trading them. Yeah, it sucks, you know,

23
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 1: but that's the that's part of the business. That's my guy.

24
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: Immediately when I found out, you know, I shot him

25
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,039
Speaker 1: in Texas. Just let him know, like you know, I'll

26
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 1: rock with him the long way and that nothing changes

27
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 1: except that he's not here every day. And I just

28
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 1: appreciate him. I learned so much from him and everything.

29
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: It sucks because I really wanted to play with him,

30
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 1: and I like playing with him. And you have a

31
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 1: guy that caliber of a player on the field and

32
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 1: you just see the kind of stuff that he does,

33
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 1: it's like wow. So unfortunately, you know, it's none of

34
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: my business, but just things went the way they went

35
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: and he had to do what was best for him

36
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: and his family, and you know, it sucks, and we'll

37
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:08,919
Speaker 1: go next question. Chris Wyrren, please age you're just kind

38
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: of sticking on that topic with with stefan Um. Obviously

39
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 1: you're pretty emotional about Um, you know him not you know,

40
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 1: being with with a team anymore. Is it difficult at

41
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 1: times to push aside, you know, the business side of things,

42
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: and because it's the guy obviously you like a lot,

43
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 1: and trying to wrap your head around why something like

44
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: this happens. Yeah, it's tough because you know, we're human

45
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 1: and you know, he build relationships with people, and especially

46
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 1: with him being the DV, those relationships is super tight

47
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 1: and you want the best for like all of your

48
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: teammates anyway, So when a situation like that arises, you

49
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: kind of wonder, like, dang, what's going on? But then

50
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:51,959
Speaker 1: you realize, hey, it's above my pay grade, so uh,

51
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: you know, you uh you talk about it, and like

52
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 1: I said earlier, it's not one of those discussions that

53
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: you want to have, but everybody is affected by and

54
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 1: uh it just like I said earlier, it just sucks.

55
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: Is it easier with you know, Bill Belichick's pedigree to

56
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:15,079
Speaker 1: be like, okay, I trust that there's a reason behind this,

57
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,639
Speaker 1: even if like at face value, it doesn't seem to

58
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: make sense. I mean, this is only my second year here,

59
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: so I don't really know what happened in the past.

60
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: But you know, it's just both sides feel like they

61
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: have to do what what's best for them. You know,

62
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,239
Speaker 1: he's looking after the team, steps look at after Sam.

63
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: He just is what it is. I don't know what

64
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: what went on, but you know, both are making the

65
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 1: best decisions that they feel it's possible, So I guess

66
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: it is what it is. Thanks. Next question, Ryan Hannibal, Hey,

67
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: I just wanted to ask you about the sense of

68
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: urgency in the building this week and you have you

69
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: noticed more, maybe more than in the past, just coming

70
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: into the game at one and three. You know, Uh,

71
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: preparation is the key, like every week, so that sense

72
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: of urgency is always how whether you win or whether

73
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: you lose. Definitely don't want to be in a situation

74
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: that we're in, so we're definitely going out there with

75
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: the mindset that we have to win. But it's like

76
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 1: that every week. I wouldn't say that the sense of

77
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 1: urgency is it's a lot higher because that wouldn't imply that,

78
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 1: you know, we were kind of relax in the first

79
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: four weeks, but you know, people people are walking around

80
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 1: with a slightly different mentality because you kind of realize

81
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 1: even though it's you're one in three, is still early

82
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: in the season, Like those three losses are going to

83
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 1: matter down the road. So we're going there with the

84
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: mindset like we're playing Houston this week and we got

85
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 1: to win. And then did you guys as a defense

86
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,599
Speaker 1: kind of take last week against Tampa as a kind

87
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: of a big step in the right direction with Tampa's

88
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 1: you know, explosive offense and holding them to what you

89
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 1: guys did. I mean, we don't really do moral victories

90
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 1: a out here. This game is all about whining losses

91
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 1: like that was a high powered offense. We did what

92
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,239
Speaker 1: we did, but it wasn't enough to win the game.

93
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,279
Speaker 1: So there were still things out there that we have

94
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: to fix and like to the media and to everybody else, yeah, uh,

95
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: nineteen points to a high powered offense. Whatever, but for us,

96
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,279
Speaker 1: it wasn't enough to win the game. So we got

97
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 1: to be even better. Thanks Adrian. Final question, Chris Ryan,

98
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: you muted appreciate that rookie mistake. UM. Just your your

99
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 1: valuation of the defense to date, UM, a quarter point

100
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 1: of the season. Where do you feel that the defense

101
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 1: is now is compared to the beginning of the season

102
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 1: and where you you wanted to be. Yeah, we're still

103
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:54,159
Speaker 1: making strides. You know, we're not where we're not where

104
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 1: we want to be, but we're still making those strides

105
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,679
Speaker 1: every week. When we get to the to the point

106
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: of we're dictating the outcome of the games and we're

107
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 1: going out there and dominating for four quarters, then that's

108
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 1: where that's when we know where we want to be.

109
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: But right now, we're just getting better each and every week,

110
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 1: and we're progressing. Obviously each week you're gonna have some

111
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 1: things to fix, but we're nowhere close to where we

112
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 1: know we can play and or how we know we

113
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 1: can play and how we can dominate the game. Do

114
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,359
Speaker 1: you feel that that progression has been slower than you

115
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: expect them? And you looked at this defense, the potential

116
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 1: this defense, and it seemed like this was going to

117
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,359
Speaker 1: be a team that had the ability to dictate the

118
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 1: outcome and win games for this football team. Has it

119
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 1: been slower than than you expected? Or is there just

120
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: kind of a natural progression that happens a lot of times.

121
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 1: I wouldn't necessarily say it's been slower. There has been

122
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:53,159
Speaker 1: situations in the game, like situational football towards the end

123
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 1: of the game where we have to just point blank

124
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 1: be better. You know, all defenses talk about you know,

125
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 1: you want to want the stress on you. You want

126
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 1: to you want to be able to put the offense

127
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 1: back on the field and get him a chance to win.

128
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: And through out of those four games. We weren't able

129
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 1: to do that, so you know, I wouldn't say the

130
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 1: progression is slower. We just know that we're not there yet.

131
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 1: Thanks yep,
