WEBVTT - Chris Foerster Previews Week 13 Matchup Against the Eagles | Press Pass

0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:02.920
<v Speaker 1>Knowing you're going up against one of the if not

0:00:03.040 --> 0:00:04.960
<v Speaker 1>the best defensive line in all the football.

0:00:05.720 --> 0:00:08.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, excuse me. It's a great challenge. I mean, the

0:00:08.160 --> 0:00:11.119
<v Speaker 2>guys are it's a great rush group. You're on the

0:00:11.160 --> 0:00:14.360
<v Speaker 2>road with silent count. Just a lot of things that

0:00:14.400 --> 0:00:17.200
<v Speaker 2>go into it. And uh, you know, we always have

0:00:17.320 --> 0:00:19.680
<v Speaker 2>individual matchups every week. There's always a good rusher or

0:00:19.720 --> 0:00:22.480
<v Speaker 2>two in every group. They just every single guy across

0:00:22.520 --> 0:00:24.239
<v Speaker 2>our front and even when they start rolling in second

0:00:24.280 --> 0:00:26.560
<v Speaker 2>team guys, they can rush the pass really, really well.

0:00:27.080 --> 0:00:29.080
<v Speaker 2>And it's it's a real challenge. I mean, it's exciting

0:00:29.120 --> 0:00:31.280
<v Speaker 2>to have that challenge. It's a great challenge. It's a

0:00:31.360 --> 0:00:33.159
<v Speaker 2>it's a challenge though, you really got to dig in

0:00:33.200 --> 0:00:38.040
<v Speaker 2>and be ready to go read a unique challenge. Speed. Yeah,

0:00:38.080 --> 0:00:40.560
<v Speaker 2>he's he just as his son, has a very very

0:00:40.720 --> 0:00:44.040
<v Speaker 2>uh great great get off, great speed. He's got a

0:00:44.040 --> 0:00:45.800
<v Speaker 2>real good ability to finish at the top of the pocket.

0:00:45.800 --> 0:00:46.839
<v Speaker 2>A lot of guys can get the top of the

0:00:46.880 --> 0:00:49.519
<v Speaker 2>pocket with speed, but it's really hard to turn and

0:00:49.560 --> 0:00:51.760
<v Speaker 2>make that last turn to the quarterback and make the play.

0:00:51.800 --> 0:00:54.200
<v Speaker 2>And he can just keep running with great speed and

0:00:54.480 --> 0:00:56.200
<v Speaker 2>make that turn at the top of the pocket, which

0:00:56.240 --> 0:00:58.680
<v Speaker 2>is really really good. And when you just when you think, okay,

0:00:58.680 --> 0:01:00.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna get out there and make sure he can't

0:01:00.360 --> 0:01:02.560
<v Speaker 2>run around the corner, he can beat inside. He's he's

0:01:02.600 --> 0:01:05.520
<v Speaker 2>got a little bit of everything. He's really developed his game.

0:01:05.520 --> 0:01:07.200
<v Speaker 2>It's really cool to watch a player that he really

0:01:07.200 --> 0:01:09.640
<v Speaker 2>didn't give much mind to when he was in Arizona

0:01:10.120 --> 0:01:12.000
<v Speaker 2>and then and then all of a sudden, his time's

0:01:12.040 --> 0:01:13.959
<v Speaker 2>gone on. He just keeps working at his craft, working

0:01:14.000 --> 0:01:16.240
<v Speaker 2>at his craft and becomes this really elite pass rusher,

0:01:16.280 --> 0:01:19.800
<v Speaker 2>which is which is really cool to see for me anyway,

0:01:19.840 --> 0:01:22.200
<v Speaker 2>to watch a guy developed Colton probably wishes he didn't

0:01:22.240 --> 0:01:23.280
<v Speaker 2>develop quite as fast.

0:01:23.720 --> 0:01:26.920
<v Speaker 1>They have a three four defense, but do they ever

0:01:27.040 --> 0:01:29.960
<v Speaker 1>do any of the wide nine stuff that they've gone

0:01:30.000 --> 0:01:30.520
<v Speaker 1>in the past.

0:01:30.800 --> 0:01:33.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Oh, definitely when they get to nickel, when they

0:01:33.080 --> 0:01:34.720
<v Speaker 2>go to their nickel four down package, and really, at

0:01:34.720 --> 0:01:36.480
<v Speaker 2>the end of the day, those two guys that are

0:01:36.520 --> 0:01:39.319
<v Speaker 2>the outside linebackers really play like wide nines anyway, But

0:01:39.360 --> 0:01:40.759
<v Speaker 2>when they get to the four down it looks much

0:01:40.760 --> 0:01:42.319
<v Speaker 2>more like our defense with a two I and a

0:01:42.319 --> 0:01:44.399
<v Speaker 2>three technique inside and then the two guys that are

0:01:44.600 --> 0:01:47.160
<v Speaker 2>the outside linebackers playing those end positions, So it's very

0:01:47.160 --> 0:01:48.520
<v Speaker 2>similar to what they've always done.

0:01:51.400 --> 0:01:55.560
<v Speaker 1>But does he play like a kind of a bigger, stronger.

0:01:55.360 --> 0:01:57.960
<v Speaker 2>And he plays with great leverage. Both those guys who

0:01:57.960 --> 0:01:59.920
<v Speaker 2>are a really nice job of setting the edge with lever,

0:02:00.600 --> 0:02:03.000
<v Speaker 2>use their arm length, use their use their you know, anchor.

0:02:03.000 --> 0:02:04.800
<v Speaker 2>They can bend and sit down and they do a

0:02:04.800 --> 0:02:07.600
<v Speaker 2>good job. Both those guys are are good edgectters.

0:02:08.080 --> 0:02:13.000
<v Speaker 1>Is John Fliciano upgrade from Burford? And if so, how

0:02:13.080 --> 0:02:14.760
<v Speaker 1>is he the superior.

0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:19.359
<v Speaker 2>Player right now? I say that everybody's great about the

0:02:19.360 --> 0:02:21.360
<v Speaker 2>same this season. There's it's a there's a very fine

0:02:21.400 --> 0:02:23.000
<v Speaker 2>line between all of them, so to say that one

0:02:23.040 --> 0:02:25.399
<v Speaker 2>is an upgrade over another, and they all bring something

0:02:25.440 --> 0:02:26.919
<v Speaker 2>different to the table. All the guys that are in

0:02:26.960 --> 0:02:28.720
<v Speaker 2>their trends. The only guy that kind of is an outlier.

0:02:29.240 --> 0:02:31.480
<v Speaker 2>It's probably you know, cut above everybody else as far

0:02:31.520 --> 0:02:33.200
<v Speaker 2>as ability and the things he does. But when you

0:02:33.200 --> 0:02:35.040
<v Speaker 2>look at the rest of the guys, you can get

0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:37.200
<v Speaker 2>any any given game and you can say, oh, this week,

0:02:37.200 --> 0:02:39.679
<v Speaker 2>Colton's better this week, Spencer's better this week, John's better

0:02:39.720 --> 0:02:42.760
<v Speaker 2>this week, Trent uh Jake do it. It's it's we're

0:02:42.760 --> 0:02:44.919
<v Speaker 2>all about the same. They all play well together, they

0:02:44.919 --> 0:02:47.280
<v Speaker 2>work well together, and it's just what they bring to

0:02:47.320 --> 0:02:51.840
<v Speaker 2>the table on a given week. Well, John's thing is

0:02:51.880 --> 0:02:56.639
<v Speaker 2>he's in past protection. He's pretty reliable, he's very very

0:02:57.280 --> 0:02:59.600
<v Speaker 2>his his experience level is I guess the thing that

0:02:59.639 --> 0:03:02.240
<v Speaker 2>would be the most. You know, he's been there, done that,

0:03:02.360 --> 0:03:05.120
<v Speaker 2>played in the games, has experienced all the things, has

0:03:05.120 --> 0:03:07.440
<v Speaker 2>played against these players that we're playing against this week,

0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:09.280
<v Speaker 2>you know, being in the division against them the last

0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:11.760
<v Speaker 2>couple of years. So every like I say, every week,

0:03:11.800 --> 0:03:14.919
<v Speaker 2>it's a different thing. And then so John, John brings

0:03:14.919 --> 0:03:18.000
<v Speaker 2>that experience level, and I'd say as past protection part

0:03:18.000 --> 0:03:19.720
<v Speaker 2>of the thing, he's probably doing the best job of.

0:03:19.840 --> 0:03:24.680
<v Speaker 1>Right now, where is your offensive line, both individually and

0:03:24.760 --> 0:03:28.760
<v Speaker 1>working together, compared to like or what you hoped or

0:03:28.800 --> 0:03:30.840
<v Speaker 1>expected they would be at this point in the season

0:03:31.280 --> 0:03:34.280
<v Speaker 1>to where they actually are right now? Are you pleased

0:03:34.320 --> 0:03:36.360
<v Speaker 1>with the way the offensive line is coming along?

0:03:37.560 --> 0:03:41.839
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? I mean, you know, I just I just say

0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:44.720
<v Speaker 2>we're still we're still trying to get better. I mean pleased,

0:03:44.720 --> 0:03:47.720
<v Speaker 2>you know, gosh, you know we've been okay, you know,

0:03:47.760 --> 0:03:51.640
<v Speaker 2>we were productive. Offense has been productive and running the

0:03:51.640 --> 0:03:53.920
<v Speaker 2>ball protection wise, but but there's just so many things

0:03:53.960 --> 0:03:55.880
<v Speaker 2>we can do better. We're just not there yet. We're

0:03:55.920 --> 0:03:58.920
<v Speaker 2>working progress, man, we are. Each individual is getting a

0:03:58.920 --> 0:04:00.600
<v Speaker 2>little bit better every week. That's the I did notice

0:04:00.600 --> 0:04:02.600
<v Speaker 2>over the bye week and it's continued these last three

0:04:02.640 --> 0:04:05.280
<v Speaker 2>weeks since the buye that I did notice like it

0:04:05.400 --> 0:04:09.120
<v Speaker 2>was it was incremental, it was small. But Spencer, Colton, Jake,

0:04:10.280 --> 0:04:12.080
<v Speaker 2>you know Banks to a degree that he got hurt,

0:04:12.560 --> 0:04:14.400
<v Speaker 2>you saw him getting better. Even Trent. You know, Trent

0:04:14.440 --> 0:04:17.000
<v Speaker 2>has to get himself back into playing shape from early

0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:18.920
<v Speaker 2>in the season. As we go through the year, he

0:04:18.960 --> 0:04:20.360
<v Speaker 2>gets better and better as the year goes on, as

0:04:20.360 --> 0:04:23.320
<v Speaker 2>long as he stays healthy. And so I think we're

0:04:23.360 --> 0:04:26.320
<v Speaker 2>progressing and working to get better. But man, there's a

0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:29.320
<v Speaker 2>lot to do. What I like seeing as a group

0:04:29.720 --> 0:04:31.560
<v Speaker 2>is I do think they're beginning to work better as

0:04:31.560 --> 0:04:33.480
<v Speaker 2>a group as each week goes on. That's the thing

0:04:33.520 --> 0:04:36.200
<v Speaker 2>that I hope continues. You know, there's so many things

0:04:36.200 --> 0:04:37.760
<v Speaker 2>that go into playing well together as a group, and

0:04:37.800 --> 0:04:40.000
<v Speaker 2>it's not just line up next to the same guy.

0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:43.159
<v Speaker 2>It's just understanding the concept of a play and understand

0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:46.080
<v Speaker 2>how the defense, you know, how we apply our techniques

0:04:46.080 --> 0:04:48.920
<v Speaker 2>and fundamentals to that play against this particular defense and

0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:51.320
<v Speaker 2>then having the guys being on the same page with it.

0:04:52.360 --> 0:04:54.240
<v Speaker 2>That's the thing that's really exciting to watch is it

0:04:54.279 --> 0:04:56.400
<v Speaker 2>goes on. And as I've stayed here before, it's you know,

0:04:56.760 --> 0:04:58.920
<v Speaker 2>you play football every day, and we play six days

0:04:58.960 --> 0:05:00.520
<v Speaker 2>a week or whatever it is. We get to practice

0:05:00.560 --> 0:05:02.279
<v Speaker 2>and do all that we get to do, and guys

0:05:02.279 --> 0:05:04.159
<v Speaker 2>can get better. And our guys, you know, because of

0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:07.200
<v Speaker 2>Kyle and how we do things here, they're always working.

0:05:07.200 --> 0:05:09.919
<v Speaker 2>We're always making sure that they they have to work

0:05:10.279 --> 0:05:12.400
<v Speaker 2>and when they work at it, and they tend to

0:05:12.400 --> 0:05:13.920
<v Speaker 2>get better if they have the ability to do it.

0:05:13.920 --> 0:05:16.800
<v Speaker 2>So it's been incremental. Not there yet, I mean not

0:05:16.839 --> 0:05:18.280
<v Speaker 2>at all. I'm glad, you know we got these We

0:05:18.360 --> 0:05:20.840
<v Speaker 2>got six regular season games left to see how we do.

0:05:21.240 --> 0:05:22.680
<v Speaker 2>This will be a great test to see where we.

0:05:22.680 --> 0:05:24.840
<v Speaker 1>Are a lot of the lines. Are you happy that

0:05:24.880 --> 0:05:27.440
<v Speaker 1>this game's coming, you know, first week in December and

0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:30.039
<v Speaker 1>not the middle of September.

0:05:30.680 --> 0:05:33.040
<v Speaker 2>I'm good either way. I'm good either way. You know,

0:05:33.160 --> 0:05:35.400
<v Speaker 2>that's a tough opponent. They'd have been tough in September,

0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:38.160
<v Speaker 2>They'd have been tough in December. They're They're a really

0:05:38.160 --> 0:05:39.279
<v Speaker 2>really good opponent, good.

0:05:39.160 --> 0:05:42.440
<v Speaker 1>Team to run on the Eagles defensive you.

0:05:42.400 --> 0:05:45.200
<v Speaker 2>Know that they like Like when we played Jacksonville, the

0:05:45.240 --> 0:05:48.039
<v Speaker 2>thing that we commented on was that it wasn't like

0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:49.960
<v Speaker 2>it was confusing. It wasn't like they had a bunch

0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:52.279
<v Speaker 2>of crazy things to pick up and block. They just

0:05:52.320 --> 0:05:54.760
<v Speaker 2>defeat blocks. Well, they just are good players, you know,

0:05:55.320 --> 0:05:58.039
<v Speaker 2>the big guys inside get off blocks and make tackles

0:05:58.040 --> 0:05:59.600
<v Speaker 2>the edge set or set edges and get rid of

0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:01.159
<v Speaker 2>the guys trying to block him on the edge and

0:06:01.160 --> 0:06:03.760
<v Speaker 2>make tackles. The inside linebackers, although they've lost one of them.

0:06:04.040 --> 0:06:06.240
<v Speaker 2>The more you study them, man, they're hard to get

0:06:06.279 --> 0:06:07.960
<v Speaker 2>blocked on a second level. They do a good job

0:06:08.000 --> 0:06:09.800
<v Speaker 2>of either running around or running over the top of

0:06:09.880 --> 0:06:11.920
<v Speaker 2>and making lineman miss them on the second level and

0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:14.480
<v Speaker 2>they get to make tackles and they do a good

0:06:14.560 --> 0:06:16.880
<v Speaker 2>job of not getting blocked. And I guess that's what

0:06:16.920 --> 0:06:18.560
<v Speaker 2>makes you pretty good on defense.

0:06:18.960 --> 0:06:22.280
<v Speaker 1>Feeling Carter does some amazing things. What does he What

0:06:22.320 --> 0:06:23.479
<v Speaker 1>do you see when you watch.

0:06:23.360 --> 0:06:26.120
<v Speaker 2>Him, Well, just the thing as you see obviously you

0:06:26.120 --> 0:06:28.279
<v Speaker 2>know the run defense, and we just talked about it.

0:06:28.320 --> 0:06:30.200
<v Speaker 2>How strong and physical the guys are upfront. They do

0:06:30.279 --> 0:06:32.440
<v Speaker 2>a good job of dealing with blockers and getting off

0:06:32.440 --> 0:06:35.040
<v Speaker 2>blocks and making plays. But the explosiveness with which he

0:06:35.080 --> 0:06:38.359
<v Speaker 2>can rush the passer. He's just got. This tremendous explosion

0:06:38.360 --> 0:06:39.960
<v Speaker 2>is side to side movement, the way he can gets

0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:41.320
<v Speaker 2>into a guy and all of a sudden bam, a

0:06:41.400 --> 0:06:43.400
<v Speaker 2>quick movement. He's he's off the guy and in the

0:06:43.480 --> 0:06:48.600
<v Speaker 2>quarterback's face. Just tremendously explosive for a big man. Thanks guy,

0:06:48.640 --> 0:06:49.400
<v Speaker 2>all right, thanks guys,
