1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,440
Speaker 1: James, this team performed so well last week against the

2
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:07,720
Speaker 1: better opponent, you know, record wise in Seattle, on the

3
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:11,760
Speaker 1: road and with so much on the line. How you know, how?

4
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:13,960
Speaker 1: How does it? How do you explain this kind of

5
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 1: performance at home UM based on and off of four

6
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 1: game winning stream. I think it just came down they

7
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 1: execute it better than us. We didn't execute, execute when

8
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 1: we needed to, and that's usually the name of the game,

9
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 1: and they gotta execute and make pleas and we didn't

10
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 1: do enough of that. SNY is when the defense is

11
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 1: playing well, especially early in the offense is struggling like that,

12
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 1: does it get frustrating as the game goes along? What's

13
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 1: the general feeling of the players that are out there.

14
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:48,839
Speaker 1: I mean we always say that they don't score, they

15
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 1: don't win UM, and that's our goal as a defense.

16
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: We don't worry about the special teams of what the

17
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 1: offense is doing. We just worry about what we can control.

18
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 1: Join Ryan Espn. Hey, James, Uh, how do you think

19
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 1: you guys did today against DeAndre Hopkinson? You know what

20
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 1: was the last two weeks? Like you get get a

21
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 1: d K Mancalf and DeAndre to two of the top

22
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 1: receivers in the league. We didn't do as good as

23
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 1: last week, you know, containing uh DeAndre Hopkins today, but

24
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: I still think you know, he didn't he didn't really

25
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 1: wreck the game for us. We just had a few

26
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 1: mistakes on them, you know. And also, you know how

27
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 1: much pressures are putting on you guys as a defense

28
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 1: when uh, you know your offense isn't scoring twelve, you know,

29
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 1: thirty points a game. Do you guys sense that at all?

30
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 1: Do you guys notice that it you feel like, hey,

31
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 1: you know, we almost have to play differently. I know

32
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 1: you said you don't want to give your year goals

33
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 1: and not give up bad any points, but set to

34
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 1: change your mindset no pressure at all. Um. You know

35
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 1: that's why that's why they got us here on this defense,

36
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: so that we can stop any offense that we go against.

37
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 1: UM and we didn't do that today. So we gotta

38
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: correct our mistakes and shy I do that next week.

39
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 1: Dan Dougge the Athletic, Hey, James, I know, you know,

40
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 1: you guys have played this zone defense and it's worked,

41
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: you know, for the most part this year. But when

42
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:14,959
Speaker 1: you see Hopkins kind of get loose against other guys

43
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:16,799
Speaker 1: that are frustrating at all that you can't just you know,

44
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 1: man up and cover the other team's number one receiver

45
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,640
Speaker 1: like you probably want to. So we're gonna see what

46
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:23,799
Speaker 1: we did tomorrow, you know, in film, and then we're

47
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: gonna correct those mistakes on those plays where he got loose,

48
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: and then we're gonna go from there. But I just mean, like, personally,

49
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 1: would you want to take that matchup more than maybe

50
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 1: you've been able to because the way the scheme has been.

51
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: I think that the call was good, you know, whatever call,

52
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 1: what was in on that play? Well, I know specifically

53
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: the overap, you know, it was in a good call.

54
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 1: I felt like, um, he's made a play. You know,

55
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:52,079
Speaker 1: we'll take two more. Pat Leonard and Jordan's Pat Leonard

56
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 1: Daily knows. Hey, James, what do you think Kyler Murray

57
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: does especially well as a quarterback? And also when you

58
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 1: as a pass rush, when you kind of prioritize containing

59
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: a guy who can run, does that give him more

60
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: time to look down field and force you to cover longer? Yeah?

61
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 1: I think his strength is his mobility, being able to

62
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,079
Speaker 1: make plays when there's no play there, you know, being

63
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 1: scraping around and make draw time for the receivers to

64
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 1: get open um. So I think that's what he did

65
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 1: well today. And it's definitely tough on our d line

66
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 1: because he's a he's a fast athletic guy. Um, we

67
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 1: just gotta, you know, figure figure out a way to

68
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:34,079
Speaker 1: contain him. Last one here Jordan's lauder back Tuesday. Hey,

69
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: when you guys were kind of forced to defend a

70
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: lot of short fields today, how did that affect the

71
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: way you guys kind of scheme that you know within

72
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: the game. Um, as far as the scheme, i'd be

73
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 1: as ad coordinator question. But I know, like I said,

74
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:52,839
Speaker 1: that's as a defense. You know, we try to write

75
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 1: our lead us. We try to write rally the troops together,

76
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 1: you know, and make a play, you know, anytime we

77
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 1: take the field. That's our whole line said, make plays

78
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 1: and stop them from scoring.
