1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,480 Speaker 1: Obviously want to address coach Stable, very appreciative of my 2 00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:08,119 Speaker 1: time with him these past two years. Has done a 3 00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:14,200 Speaker 1: lot for me, learned a lot from them. Really can't 4 00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:16,480 Speaker 1: say enough good things about him as a leader and 5 00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:18,400 Speaker 1: what he's meant to me over these past two years, 6 00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:24,159 Speaker 1: and wish him nothing but the best. There's responsibility that 7 00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:28,640 Speaker 1: falls on me. We haven't been good enough defensively, particularly 8 00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:35,680 Speaker 1: closing out games. Something we're working at, evaluating everything scheme, personnel, 9 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:41,320 Speaker 1: different situations, what we can do to continue to improve 10 00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:43,680 Speaker 1: and find ways to be at our best when it 11 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:46,199 Speaker 1: matters most. Find ways to put these in these players 12 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,120 Speaker 1: in positions to make plays at critical parts of the 13 00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:53,279 Speaker 1: game when it matters most. So it's something we're continuing 14 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,720 Speaker 1: to dive into, continue to work at. We got to 15 00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,360 Speaker 1: find ways to win these games, not give it up 16 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. Moving forward here. Obviously got a 17 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:07,200 Speaker 1: great relationship with coach Kafka through these past two seasons. 18 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 1: Excited about the opportunity for him, and again my focus 19 00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 1: is doing my best to get our guys in a 20 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 1: position to make plays where we can finish these games 21 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 1: and perform better defensively when it matters most. 22 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:25,479 Speaker 2: Do you expect any changes to the defense that would 23 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:27,880 Speaker 2: be noticeable to like the naked eyed I'm not talking 24 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,680 Speaker 2: about like, you know, inner workings, but like to us 25 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 2: like new new boss, new head coaches, You expect anything 26 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,319 Speaker 2: to be noticeably different with the defense. 27 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know if it's going to be anything drastic. 28 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,360 Speaker 1: I mean, there's obviously things we need to do a 29 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:46,759 Speaker 1: little bit differently, and I think that's obviously game day 30 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 1: is most important, but that's throughout the week as well, right, 31 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 1: just the process throughout the week. What that looks like 32 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 1: to be able to get us the game day and 33 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 1: then be able to go out there and perform on 34 00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 1: game day. So I don't know if there's going to 35 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 1: be anything drastic, but there will be some things that 36 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 1: we're adjusting as we go. 37 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 2: What about roster personnel changes? 38 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 3: Any changes with the starters that you plan on making. 39 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:10,959 Speaker 1: Right now, we're dealing with a bunch of injuries. There's 40 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 1: a bunch of guys, So I mean, we'll work through 41 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:14,840 Speaker 1: that as the week goes and kind of see where 42 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 1: that plays out. 43 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:19,520 Speaker 2: Anything you can with He's a new set of eyes 44 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:20,239 Speaker 2: at the topic. 45 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:21,679 Speaker 3: What does he said that he expects to see you 46 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 3: change or do better on your end. 47 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I'll keep all those conversations private between 48 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 1: me and Mike and what we have discussed. But again, 49 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 1: the major emphasis for us is finding ways to be 50 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,520 Speaker 1: at our best when it matters most at the end 51 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 1: of these games we have leads and doing the best 52 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 1: job I can to make sure our players are in 53 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 1: situations when when the time comes, they can make the 54 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,399 Speaker 1: plays that are needed to win those games. 55 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 3: Particulating different ideas on how to do that. 56 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 1: Yes, we've had we'd have conversations about that specifically. 57 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 2: Did you have Was there any concern for you, like 58 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 2: new head coach, Is he gonna, you know, want somebody. 59 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 4: Else to do this? 60 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 2: Is there is he gonna want different play caller? 61 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:06,959 Speaker 1: Why? 62 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 2: You know, I've seen other interim coaches make wide ranging 63 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 2: staff changes. Was that a thought for you or No? 64 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 1: I've focused on control and what I can control, making 65 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 1: sure I'm doing everything I can for these players and 66 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 1: to get the results we want and to get the 67 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 1: results these players deserve, and being at our best again 68 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 1: when it matters most, and that's really where my focus 69 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 1: has been here throughout this week. 70 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 3: How much you but do you see any commonalities I 71 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 3: guess with these fourth quarters, is it a matter of execution, 72 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 3: the t discipline? Are you seeing any commonalities at this point? 73 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I think all all three of them 74 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 1: are a little bit different, just in terms of the situation. 75 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 1: I think, Uh, it's a myriad of things. Like like 76 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 1: you mentioned, ultimately it's in these situations you look around 77 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,120 Speaker 1: the league and and as it as they come up, 78 00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 1: I mean even the end of half ones that have 79 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 1: came up at times. Right, It's it's about finding ways 80 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 1: to make plays when it matters most, and it starts 81 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 1: with me putting them in position to do so where 82 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 1: we can. And last week, I mean, guy gives some 83 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 1: credit to Caleb to like he made some plays and 84 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 1: we did it. They made the plays and we weren't able. 85 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 3: To abdul Carter. How much of this is he needs 86 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,039 Speaker 3: to improve some things and how much of it is 87 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 3: maybe you guys need to scheme up some plays for 88 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,280 Speaker 3: him to make to get some confidence going. 89 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's a good question. I think it's 90 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,719 Speaker 1: a combination both, I do. I mean, he's had three 91 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 1: sacks taken off the board by penalties, you know, to 92 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 1: last week, So I think it's a combination of both 93 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 1: just continuing to find ways that utilize them best and 94 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 1: where we can put them where he can be most 95 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,600 Speaker 1: productive and find some production for us. But I mean 96 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:54,840 Speaker 1: he's battling. He's out there competing every play. Again, those 97 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 1: things happens obviously with the penalties and the sacks that 98 00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 1: he had last week, and but he continues to work 99 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,599 Speaker 1: hard and that's our charge to to help them. 100 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 4: How much do you view confidence as something you're managing 101 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 4: there also with him? 102 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I don't. I don't think he's lacking confidence. 103 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,279 Speaker 1: I don't. I think he's He's probably a little discouraged, 104 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:17,280 Speaker 1: you know, as all these guys are with with where 105 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 1: we're at right now on a unit level and an 106 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,159 Speaker 1: individual level, and it's something we're we're working through together 107 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 1: to make sure we're we're getting the things fixed that 108 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 1: we need to get fixed. But I mean, I think 109 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,039 Speaker 1: he's in a good spot. His approach every week has 110 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:34,280 Speaker 1: been good. Again, it comes down to our performance and 111 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 1: being able to do those things on Sunday. 112 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 2: You should have your secondary closer to Is that fair 113 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,040 Speaker 2: to say you should have it closer to full strength? 114 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll see where Deebo's at. I mean he's still 115 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:48,040 Speaker 1: working through here. I think today we'll be more telling 116 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:52,280 Speaker 1: for that, so we'll see kind of where that's at. 117 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,280 Speaker 3: How do you think Deckster's played the last couple of 118 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 3: weeks and what more do you look for from him? 119 00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:58,279 Speaker 3: The leader of your defense. 120 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 1: I think he's battling in there for us. I do. 121 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 1: I think he battles every game, just with what he gets, 122 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 1: what he sees, the different things teams try to do 123 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:11,360 Speaker 1: to him to get four hands on them. Just continue 124 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 1: to work to improve, to take advantage of the opportunities when 125 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 1: they come. You know, like we ask all these guys, 126 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:19,920 Speaker 1: when we get our opportunity, let's let's do our best 127 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 1: to take advantage of it. Continue to lead, right it's 128 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 1: a unique situation right now, Continue to lead these guys, 129 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,679 Speaker 1: continue to press on the accountability and everything that comes 130 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 1: with it. But happy he's here, Start telling if Bobby 131 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 1: doesn't play, who's a green dot? Yeah? So we got 132 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 1: some options, Uh, you got Flanning and Foles, You've got Zaire. 133 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 1: Obviously Neville's played a little bit, so I and we 134 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 1: have some options there. Kind of went through it a 135 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 1: little bit early early in the year where we're a 136 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 1: little limited at that spot, so guys will have some opportunities, 137 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 1: they'll be able to step up and play and hopefully 138 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,160 Speaker 1: make the most of it. If that's If that's the. 139 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 3: Case, wouldn't go back to a safety the green dot, 140 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 3: wouldn't go back to it now, No, you. 141 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 4: Talked about it last well speaking with Mike about the 142 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 4: end of game problems. What have you been able to 143 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 4: put when you guys talkic what have you talked about, Like, 144 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 4: what do you recognize and say that this is the problem? 145 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 2: Is that? 146 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 4: Are you guys wearing down? Is it schematics? 147 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 2: Is like? 148 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 4: How do you look at that? 149 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I'll keep the conversations I had with 150 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 1: Mike in private. From from my point of view, my perspective, again, 151 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 1: I think it's a myriad of different things that are 152 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 1: showing up, and I gotta do a better job finding 153 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 1: ways to create some opportunities for these guys to make 154 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 1: the plays we need when we need them at those 155 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 1: times in the game.
