Just tryna go out there, 182 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 5: find a way to win every time, and uh do 183 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 5: my job uh to the highest level that I can. 184 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 5: But I'm just tryna tryn to execute him and win. 185 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 12: That's it. 186 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 4: That's the main focus. 187 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 6: And when you see the mean you guys, it's a 188 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 6: defensive play well all year long, but when you see 189 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 6: the offense finally kind of come around in every game 190 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 6: like it did against Tennessee, what do you think that 191 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 6: says about the future. 192 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 7: Of this season. 193 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 5: Yeah, that just showing uh the potential uh that we 194 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 5: have with this team. But I mean potentially it has 195 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 5: hasn't been touched yet. So I think that we still 196 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 5: gotta uh continue to to build on top of the 197 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 5: foundation that we have and uh play that complimentary football 198 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 5: to where uh defense is playing well, offense playing well, 199 00:07:58,760 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 5: special teams and all play together. 200 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 4: I think that puts us in great position, like you 201 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 4: seen last week, to win the game. 202 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 19: Is this the best thing you've seen grand play since. 203 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:06,240 Speaker 15: He's been here. 204 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 5: Yeah, Grant's been balling, I believe so I believe. So 205 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 5: Grant's been balling, great player for us, been making a 206 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 5: lot of tackles, a lot of players out their interceptions. So, uh, 207 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 5: we're gonna need him continue playing how he's playing. So 208 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 5: he's been playing great. 209 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 19: You have you always kind of known that that's been 210 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 19: in there, he's just kind of been coming back. 211 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 3: To that injury. 212 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, definitely, definitely. 213 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 5: You definitely seen that with Grant coming out of college 214 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,119 Speaker 5: and then just in practice and everything, just the plays 215 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 5: that he's able to make, the range back during the 216 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,200 Speaker 5: post he's able to make, and uh, his physicality in 217 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 5: the run game. So he's a playmaker out there on 218 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:35,319 Speaker 5: the field for us. 219 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:37,959 Speaker 6: What kind of boosts is getting Greg news from back 220 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:38,720 Speaker 6: in the secondary? 221 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:39,440 Speaker 12: That's huge. 222 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,560 Speaker 5: I think I think Greg is the best nickel, best 223 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,920 Speaker 5: corner uh in the NFL. So, uh, that's huge getting 224 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 5: him back, and we're gonna need him as well, need 225 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,560 Speaker 5: all of us to keep building on what we got going. 226 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,560 Speaker 20: What's the key to this Stephens continuing to play. 227 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,560 Speaker 5: Out how review mm Uh, I think it's just not changing. 228 00:08:58,080 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 8: Uh. 229 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 5: We gotta continue to stick to the basics and what 230 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:06,680 Speaker 5: we've been doing communicating, let's practice meetings, and just not 231 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,559 Speaker 5: changing what we do and not changing for other people, 232 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 5: just doing what we do. 233 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:14,120 Speaker 1: Next up was linebacker Anthony Walker Junior. He talked about 234 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 1: what Zadarias Smith has brought to this defense and how 235 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 1: the team is preparing to stop the dangerous Lamar Jackson. 236 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 7: How have you seen that Ravens' offense change with. 237 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,560 Speaker 14: Yeah, I think it's hard to say, you know, change, 238 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 14: They've been explosive, They've been a really good offense. You know, 239 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 14: really just trying to spread them all around a little more. 240 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 14: You know, they got different playmakers on the outside with 241 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,480 Speaker 14: you know, Jay Flowers, OBJ, all those guys. You know, 242 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 14: obviously got Mark Andrews. You know, sucks that JK went 243 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 14: down so early. Definitely would have been as a huge 244 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,680 Speaker 14: sparked for that offense. But you know, again, just spreading 245 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:52,560 Speaker 14: around all the playmakers and you've got number eight back there, 246 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 14: it's hard to say you changed when you know he's 247 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 14: as dynamic as he is. So you know, actually present 248 00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 14: a huge challenge for us that we y'all gotta be 249 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 14: on the same page and ready to you know, run 250 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 14: to the ball, because those guys were in a huge 251 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:05,680 Speaker 14: times for us. 252 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:08,959 Speaker 12: Do you have to have you guys have been so 253 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:09,959 Speaker 12: aggressive in the. 254 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 15: First three Do you have to change your. 255 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:17,079 Speaker 8: Approach because of him or can you continue to play 256 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 8: the same way regardless. 257 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 12: Of his movie. You never want to play scared going 258 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 12: against any opponent. 259 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,679 Speaker 14: Obviously he pro he presents a different challenge, So you 260 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:27,560 Speaker 14: gotta be a little smarter and how you rush, how. 261 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 12: You contain him. But at the end of the day, 262 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:31,599 Speaker 12: you still gotta be aggressive on We got to play aggressive. 263 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:36,080 Speaker 15: Defense, m. 264 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:45,359 Speaker 2: So it's not going to change where you got. 265 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:47,959 Speaker 12: Yeah, we were playing the textile defense. 266 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 9: You know. 267 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 14: For us to play an opponent and say we're gonna 268 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 14: stop attacking now would be go against everything that. 269 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 12: We believe in, you know. 270 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 14: So uh, it's like I said, it's gotta be smarter, 271 00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 14: you know, not less aggressive. But you know, rush lane 272 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 14: is a little you know, can't be as you know, risky, 273 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 14: you know, but again just covering up for one another 274 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 14: like we always do, you know, front line going d line. 275 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 14: Being the engine that they are, they go attack and 276 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 14: you know, we clean it up and make sure that 277 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:16,000 Speaker 14: you know, we keep him in the pocket and if 278 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 14: he does get out, we get him on the ground. 279 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:20,360 Speaker 14: That you made. 280 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:26,800 Speaker 12: Such amazing you feel like, you. 281 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:30,680 Speaker 21: Know, you're starts in your career and the game seems 282 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 21: like really kind of slow for you. 283 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:34,640 Speaker 12: Yeah, I would hope the game is slow for me. 284 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:38,600 Speaker 14: I'm kind of old now, so getting up there in years, 285 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 14: but obviously with those years come a little bit of 286 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 14: knowledge experience, you know. Obviously that's probably one of the 287 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:49,120 Speaker 14: better players I've made in my career, just because Tanhill 288 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 14: looked me off so long, you know, trying to get 289 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 14: me to go the other way, and I kind of 290 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,200 Speaker 14: knew he was going backside. But that's again, that's a 291 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,600 Speaker 14: tribute to my coaches. I knew Miles was going to 292 00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 14: get there. I had to get a ball out fast 293 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 14: so he couldn't look too long. And that's Russian covers 294 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 14: working together. So you know, that's where we preacher, that's 295 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,719 Speaker 14: where we pride ourselves in. And you know, that was 296 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 14: a huge play for us. I thought that the next 297 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:13,840 Speaker 14: player was the was a more huge play with one 298 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,839 Speaker 14: that's a tough you know read for him, you know, 299 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 14: with the running back coming out from the other side, 300 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 14: and he played it perfectly. And then Miles being Miles 301 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 14: at that third down start. That was a huge sequence 302 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 14: in that game that really sparked us as a defense 303 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 14: and then the crowd just went crazy after that.

You know, he can 631 00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:01,240 Speaker 23: run the ball. They do a lot of things where 632 00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:03,480 Speaker 23: he's you know, the lead runner, they get extra lead 633 00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 23: blocker and he makes things play. I mean, Deshaun runs 634 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:08,280 Speaker 23: around a decent amount too, you know. I know they 635 00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:11,359 Speaker 23: are a little bit different skill sets, but you know, 636 00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:12,800 Speaker 23: in this day and age, I feel like that's kind 637 00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:13,600 Speaker 23: of the. 638 00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:14,520 Speaker 7: Future of the quarterback position. 639 00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:16,840 Speaker 23: So who knows, you know, I mean, I think you're 640 00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:18,760 Speaker 23: gonna see a lot more guys like Lamar, like Deshaun 641 00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:20,880 Speaker 23: that can run around and move out there. 642 00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:22,560 Speaker 2: What does that add to a running and you have 643 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,080 Speaker 2: that kind of a plus one that, you know, where 644 00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:27,080 Speaker 2: that you have to account for the quarterback, And. 645 00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:29,480 Speaker 7: Yeah, I think it's huge. 646 00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:31,840 Speaker 23: You know those guys you can you can turn your 647 00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,280 Speaker 23: running back almost into like a lead blocker. You can 648 00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:36,360 Speaker 23: pull a couple of guys and he can cut off 649 00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:37,879 Speaker 23: the back side. It just gives you a little bit 650 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:40,440 Speaker 23: more options because a lot of times give an extra 651 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:42,760 Speaker 23: guy in the box that you can't really block anyway, 652 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:45,560 Speaker 23: and and uh, you know running back like bring your 653 00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:48,520 Speaker 23: own block for that guy. So it adds a adds 654 00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:49,159 Speaker 23: a big dimension. 655 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:49,960 Speaker 7: And then you can. 656 00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:51,639 Speaker 23: Pass the ball off some of those looks as well, 657 00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:53,879 Speaker 23: So it gives you a little bit more play action looks. 658 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:55,679 Speaker 23: I think it's the end of it. Uh, you know, 659 00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:59,000 Speaker 23: gives you an advantage for sure. The only thing is, 660 00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:00,960 Speaker 23: you know, that means yourequarterback. 661 00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:02,880 Speaker 7: Might be taken some hits. So it's a fine line. 662 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:04,639 Speaker 7: You gotta kind of decide what you want to do 663 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:04,840 Speaker 7: with that. 664 00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:07,199 Speaker 6: What did you think the biggest stride at the offense 665 00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:08,400 Speaker 6: took against Tennessee? 666 00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:10,719 Speaker 7: Where it was you know, stuff you can build up. 667 00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:13,159 Speaker 23: Yeah, you know, I thought we didn't run the ball 668 00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:14,800 Speaker 23: as good as we wanted to last week, but our 669 00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,639 Speaker 23: passing game really opened up. I think Deshaun and Omari 670 00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,280 Speaker 23: had a very strong connection. I mean, Amario probably could 671 00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:23,040 Speaker 23: have gone for two hundred with the penalties and the 672 00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:24,480 Speaker 23: out of bounds incident. 673 00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:27,000 Speaker 7: And all that stuff. He was, uh, he was playing 674 00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:27,920 Speaker 7: very very well. 675 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:30,359 Speaker 23: So I think that confidence just coming back in the 676 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:32,520 Speaker 23: passing game, you know, And and they had a good front, 677 00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:34,560 Speaker 23: and I think we protected well enough to give him 678 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:36,359 Speaker 23: enough chances, you know what I mean, Like they had 679 00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:38,480 Speaker 23: their first shows of wins. But I think overall, the 680 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,840 Speaker 23: group did enough upfront to give them a chance to 681 00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,080 Speaker 23: you know, make those throws downfield. When you talk about 682 00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,959 Speaker 23: run game, how much of it do you think is 683 00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:50,800 Speaker 23: the adjustments because there's no Nick and just the Tennessee's 684 00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:51,600 Speaker 23: got a really good run. 685 00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:52,800 Speaker 7: Even Yeah, I was gonna say, I don't think we 686 00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:53,399 Speaker 7: blocked well enough. 687 00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:54,840 Speaker 23: I don't think it was like, oh, Nick didn't play, 688 00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:56,399 Speaker 23: you know, we do. I think we missed a block 689 00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:59,280 Speaker 23: here or there and against the front like that. If 690 00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:02,320 Speaker 23: you don't every block and you don't make the right adjustment, 691 00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:05,000 Speaker 23: then they're gonna you know, they've proven it over the 692 00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:07,080 Speaker 23: last sebentary team games. I think they able to record 693 00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:09,520 Speaker 23: for you know, lowest yards per game or average or 694 00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:12,120 Speaker 23: whatever it was. But no, it was it was more 695 00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:14,280 Speaker 23: I think I'm on the blocking last week than it 696 00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:16,879 Speaker 23: was missing Chubb or anything like that. I think Ford, 697 00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:19,399 Speaker 23: you know, those guys Kaream coming back was a was 698 00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:26,439 Speaker 23: a big boost. Yeah, we want to get back on 699 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:27,600 Speaker 23: track and the right you know, I think the first 700 00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:30,199 Speaker 23: two games we actually ran the ball well both games, 701 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:32,080 Speaker 23: and so you know, we want to win. 702 00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:32,679 Speaker 7: That's our main goal. 703 00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:34,359 Speaker 23: So if we were to pass the ball sixty times, 704 00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:37,080 Speaker 23: that's fine too, but we want to get back on track, 705 00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:39,320 Speaker 23: and and you know, the runs we do call, we 706 00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:41,440 Speaker 23: want them to be efficient, successful. 707 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,280 Speaker 12: Runs the average. 708 00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:45,800 Speaker 7: Understand. 709 00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:50,280 Speaker 23: Yeah, we knew, I mean, we knew our advantage was 710 00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:52,480 Speaker 23: through the air. You know, we knew we could attack 711 00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:54,440 Speaker 23: the backet into that defense. I think that was kind 712 00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:57,680 Speaker 23: of a thought going into it. But I mean, we 713 00:28:57,720 --> 00:28:59,160 Speaker 23: want to run the ball better too. You know, you 714 00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:01,120 Speaker 23: never want to go out there and not be successful 715 00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:02,880 Speaker 23: running the ball. But you know, when you have a 716 00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:04,840 Speaker 23: chance to take those shots, and you saw guys like 717 00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:08,600 Speaker 23: Amari running open down the field, it's hard not to 718 00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:09,400 Speaker 23: keep going back to that. 719 00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:12,000 Speaker 8: Well, as somebody who's pretty much seen it all it 720 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:14,720 Speaker 8: brus uniform, two plays really stand out. 721 00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:17,680 Speaker 7: Did you shawan throw behind the line of scrimmage? 722 00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:20,680 Speaker 8: And last like sixteen yards and then the call against 723 00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:25,560 Speaker 8: the Mari Adam bounds. Typically, those those two plays would 724 00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:27,560 Speaker 8: the rail a game. 725 00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:30,480 Speaker 7: Just you know, as someone who's been through it all. 726 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:34,000 Speaker 8: What was different on Sunday that really allowed you, guys, 727 00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:37,200 Speaker 8: I mean not to allow those two plays to get. 728 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:38,360 Speaker 6: You off track from the guys room. 729 00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:39,320 Speaker 12: Yeah. 730 00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:41,320 Speaker 7: Yeah, we were stressed all week. 731 00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:44,320 Speaker 23: We want to be resilient, you know, starting with the 732 00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:46,920 Speaker 23: Chubb injury, starting with the lost of Pittsburgh. But resilience 733 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,680 Speaker 23: was a big term we used last week. You know, 734 00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:53,280 Speaker 23: there's gonna be peaks and valleys in a season, in 735 00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:56,000 Speaker 23: a game, and you don't want one play to turn 736 00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:58,479 Speaker 23: into two or three. So you know, we saw we 737 00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:00,080 Speaker 23: had the fumble play behind the line of scrimming, We 738 00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:01,960 Speaker 23: recovered the ball, we didn't lose the ball, so I 739 00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,560 Speaker 23: think that was a big step and and we knew 740 00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:07,800 Speaker 23: Amari was gonna get open again later on. So it 741 00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:10,400 Speaker 23: was unfortunate and in the moment, like when you're playing, like, 742 00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:11,680 Speaker 23: I didn't know how bad of a call it was. 743 00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:13,440 Speaker 23: So after the game so we're like, all right, let's 744 00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:15,360 Speaker 23: play the next play. Let's let's get things going. You know, 745 00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:17,360 Speaker 23: you hope in that situation, they have to play, continue, 746 00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:21,160 Speaker 23: review it afterwards. You know, they have kind of rules 747 00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:23,280 Speaker 23: to give you a chance to you know, make up 748 00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:25,280 Speaker 23: for it. So it was a little bit weird. But 749 00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:27,040 Speaker 23: but no, we were resilient last week, and I think 750 00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:29,040 Speaker 23: that's something we want to be moving forward as well. 751 00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:30,840 Speaker 20: There. 752 00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:35,000 Speaker 23: Yeah, yeah, he's he's Yeah, it's weird. 753 00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:36,920 Speaker 7: He got confused. I was like, I'm kind of a 754 00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:38,080 Speaker 7: you know, but no, he's. 755 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:42,480 Speaker 23: Uh, he looks pretty, pretty explosive, pretty fresh, you know 756 00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:44,040 Speaker 23: what I mean. I know they have some injuries at 757 00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:45,640 Speaker 23: the edge, so he's been playing a lot for him. 758 00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:47,560 Speaker 7: He had a sack last week. 759 00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:49,640 Speaker 23: He's had I think a couple of sacks this year already, 760 00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:51,520 Speaker 23: and uh, he's reckoned some havoc. 761 00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:51,680 Speaker 24: You know. 762 00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:54,080 Speaker 7: He's he looks long, he looks lengthy. It looks explosive. 763 00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:58,320 Speaker 23: So he'll be a big, big challenge for us for sure. 764 00:30:58,960 --> 00:30:59,440 Speaker 15: In the middle. 765 00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:03,160 Speaker 2: You guys remember. 766 00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:06,480 Speaker 9: Always a purge. 767 00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:11,320 Speaker 7: Yeah. I think it's a group thing for us. 768 00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:14,360 Speaker 23: Really, you know, depending on the play in the moment, 769 00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:17,840 Speaker 23: who steps up and who's uh kind of the voice, 770 00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:19,480 Speaker 23: you know, I think that Shawn has a strong voice 771 00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:22,240 Speaker 23: because he's the quarterback he's getting the plays. But everybody 772 00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:23,760 Speaker 23: was focused this week. There was a there was a 773 00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:26,120 Speaker 23: real focus on just getting the job done. You know, 774 00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:27,920 Speaker 23: you look at your guys and like, hey, we'll play 775 00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:28,719 Speaker 23: the next play right now. 776 00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:32,120 Speaker 7: We'll get going. But you know, it comes and goes 777 00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:33,760 Speaker 7: from which player kind of brings that up. 778 00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:36,720 Speaker 15: You've seen your pay sure and Brown Stephens's and practice 779 00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:37,120 Speaker 15: as such. 780 00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:39,760 Speaker 9: Did you know that this was that this group was 781 00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:40,640 Speaker 9: maybe a little different. 782 00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:41,840 Speaker 7: Did you see that. 783 00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:44,880 Speaker 23: I don't think he knows you start playing games, but 784 00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:47,160 Speaker 23: you saw the players. You saw some of the schemes 785 00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:50,000 Speaker 23: they were doing in camp. You saw some of the 786 00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:52,600 Speaker 23: days of camp they had where they were very good. 787 00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:55,760 Speaker 23: You saw in preseason some of the glimpses that they 788 00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,160 Speaker 23: could be in and I think they're they're just gonna 789 00:31:58,240 --> 00:31:59,680 Speaker 23: keep building on it. You know, I think it starts 790 00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:02,480 Speaker 23: with shorts and the scheme and the players and everybody's 791 00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:05,200 Speaker 23: kind of bought into that, that defense mentality. 792 00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:07,560 Speaker 7: But I'm all for it. 793 00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:09,680 Speaker 23: You know, let's let's keep playing defense at a high 794 00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:12,160 Speaker 23: level and we'll try and be complimentary and do our 795 00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:12,800 Speaker 23: part on offense. 796 00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:15,320 Speaker 8: When you talk about compliment the ball, is there a 797 00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:17,560 Speaker 8: little bit of a weight taking off the offense and 798 00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:20,840 Speaker 8: shoulders so to speak that you know, for instance, signing 799 00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:23,760 Speaker 8: you know the phone world, right, So and the defense 800 00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:25,719 Speaker 8: comes up with the stop, they get to stop at 801 00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:26,280 Speaker 8: the end of the. 802 00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:27,080 Speaker 7: Half and stuff like that. 803 00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:30,320 Speaker 8: There's confidence on the offensive side of the ball. You 804 00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:32,880 Speaker 8: can maybe play a little looser, a little freer because 805 00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:35,480 Speaker 8: if it doesn't go away, the defense is going to 806 00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:36,160 Speaker 8: pick you up. 807 00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:38,200 Speaker 23: Yeah, we're you know, we're trying to take care of 808 00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:40,280 Speaker 23: the ball on offense. And I think that's the biggest 809 00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:42,720 Speaker 23: team stat is like if we don't have any takeaways, 810 00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:44,600 Speaker 23: I mean, if we don't turn the ball over, you know, 811 00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:46,960 Speaker 23: usually we win the game. You know, it's like eighty 812 00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:49,880 Speaker 23: percent hit rate or something like that. So we're already 813 00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:52,120 Speaker 23: thinking that as an offense. But when your defense steps 814 00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:54,160 Speaker 23: up in those situations and only allows three points when 815 00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:56,520 Speaker 23: you turned over almost in the red zone, or you 816 00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:58,360 Speaker 23: know they're driving down to score before the half and 817 00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:00,040 Speaker 23: they get a huge sack so don't get any. 818 00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:01,920 Speaker 7: On the board, it's huge. 819 00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:04,520 Speaker 23: You know, you never know week to week. This week 820 00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:06,560 Speaker 23: could be a forty to forty five game, you don't know. 821 00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:09,120 Speaker 23: But but to have that in our back pocket where 822 00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:11,560 Speaker 23: We're like, hey, our defense has our back in those situations, 823 00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:14,040 Speaker 23: and hopefully we develop where we have their back too, 824 00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:15,000 Speaker 23: you know, when they need it. 825 00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:17,880 Speaker 1: When the players were done, it was time for the coordinators, 826 00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:20,880 Speaker 1: and as always, special teams coordinator bubbav Intron went first. 827 00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:23,239 Speaker 1: He talked about how good the Ravens are on their 828 00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:25,560 Speaker 1: special teams unit, and he gave us his thoughts on 829 00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:27,200 Speaker 1: the Browns punt return situation. 830 00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:31,200 Speaker 21: Were you surprised to see Justin Tucker missed that field 831 00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:32,360 Speaker 21: goal last week? 832 00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:35,959 Speaker 9: And just how good is he Tucker's and you know, 833 00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:41,520 Speaker 9: he's an elite kicker that has had ridiculous results in 834 00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:44,960 Speaker 9: his career. There was definitely some weather in that game. 835 00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:47,480 Speaker 9: I'm not sure if he got all of the ball 836 00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:50,280 Speaker 9: there fell It looked like just about a yard short, 837 00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:54,680 Speaker 9: but when you rewatch it, it seems like both sides 838 00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:57,280 Speaker 9: feel like it's going in and it just comes up 839 00:33:57,320 --> 00:34:01,040 Speaker 9: just a little bit short. But he's definitely had success 840 00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:07,000 Speaker 9: from over sixty in his career. It'd be hard to 841 00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:11,960 Speaker 9: say no. You know, I think I coached arguably the 842 00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:16,680 Speaker 9: best guy as well Invinitary, So I think Adam has 843 00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:21,000 Speaker 9: had the most clutch kicks in his career. But as 844 00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:25,040 Speaker 9: far as accuracy and being able to hit from distance, 845 00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:28,480 Speaker 9: I would say Tucker's probably has him in that. You know, 846 00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:31,520 Speaker 9: edges him there. But Vinnie, I don't know if you 847 00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:36,400 Speaker 9: can ever discount his ability to connect on big kicks 848 00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:39,160 Speaker 9: and probably the biggest kick in NFL history in the 849 00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:42,440 Speaker 9: game against the Raiders. So Bill used to show that 850 00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:43,000 Speaker 9: quite a bit. 851 00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:48,520 Speaker 6: How much time did you spend talking about minitary about Bankick? 852 00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:50,759 Speaker 9: I'm sorry when you were. 853 00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:53,560 Speaker 6: Coaching, how much time did you spend just talking about 854 00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:55,560 Speaker 6: that kick that he made against the Raiding? 855 00:34:56,640 --> 00:35:00,640 Speaker 9: Not often? I mean we definitely, you know, on it, 856 00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:03,520 Speaker 9: I guess he would, you would say, but I mean 857 00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:05,360 Speaker 9: he talked through a bunch of kicks in his career, 858 00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,800 Speaker 9: especially the ones that were in elements that were were 859 00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:12,960 Speaker 9: tough kicks. So but no, I learned a lot from 860 00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:15,760 Speaker 9: I learned a lot from Adam, both as a player 861 00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:16,640 Speaker 9: but more as a coach. 862 00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:20,839 Speaker 7: This is defense out return early in the year. 863 00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:26,319 Speaker 9: Defenses on on fire for sure. Hope, hopefully we can 864 00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:29,839 Speaker 9: continue to play at a high level and give us 865 00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:33,400 Speaker 9: opportunities to get the ball back. D Hawk with. 866 00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:36,080 Speaker 21: Two two fifty plus, so that's. 867 00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:36,759 Speaker 8: Got to feel pretty good. 868 00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:40,879 Speaker 9: Yeah, Dustin came into my office the other day. It's 869 00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:43,200 Speaker 9: actually a funny story. So it comes into my office 870 00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:45,680 Speaker 9: the other day and we're talking through a few things 871 00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:50,320 Speaker 9: and I had I had Adele playing on my whatever 872 00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:52,680 Speaker 9: you want to call it, my iTunes and he goes, 873 00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:55,319 Speaker 9: you know, Adele's a Browns fan. I'm like, no, she's not. 874 00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:57,920 Speaker 9: And he's like, he's like, yes, she is. She actually 875 00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:02,040 Speaker 9: said in the media the other day. So it's pretty funny. 876 00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:05,840 Speaker 9: But back to your uh, back to your question. I 877 00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:09,439 Speaker 9: guess no, he's been he's been phenomenal. You know, those 878 00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:11,840 Speaker 9: guys have done a great job with the operation, the timing, 879 00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:18,040 Speaker 9: the consistency. Yeah, he's he's been great. 880 00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:21,399 Speaker 12: Rival Travis Kelsey and. 881 00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:31,239 Speaker 9: I think she dates somebody from Cleveland. 882 00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:33,160 Speaker 12: Yeah, I think. 883 00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:37,240 Speaker 9: I think that's why she's a Browns fan. So hopefully 884 00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:38,840 Speaker 9: we can continue to play well. 885 00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:42,759 Speaker 6: Making the long ones like did you know he had 886 00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:44,360 Speaker 6: that kind of legging him when you guys. 887 00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:44,759 Speaker 12: Don't got him. 888 00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:48,400 Speaker 9: Yes, he's he's got a big leg and we and 889 00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:51,440 Speaker 9: we knew that, and that was attractive to us. For sure. 890 00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:56,440 Speaker 9: Dustin has had a great career. He's hit a high percentage. 891 00:36:57,360 --> 00:36:59,680 Speaker 9: I don't know what his career over fifty is, to 892 00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:03,080 Speaker 9: be honest, but he's done well in both games and 893 00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:05,680 Speaker 9: practice settings for us, so we're confident in his ability 894 00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:06,560 Speaker 9: to hit from distance. 895 00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:11,319 Speaker 21: You guys got him that he was fifteen thirty. 896 00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:12,040 Speaker 9: And fifty plus. 897 00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:12,920 Speaker 7: Not sure. 898 00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:14,480 Speaker 9: I'm not sure that I really did. I know that. 899 00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:18,400 Speaker 9: I mean, look, statistically, I want to say, like kicks 900 00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:23,760 Speaker 9: over fifty, it's almost about fifty percent regardless, so playing 901 00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:27,960 Speaker 9: in elements, playing outside, everything factors into it. You know, 902 00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:30,720 Speaker 9: he's hit the ball well for us, so I'm confident 903 00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:33,759 Speaker 9: in his ability. It was true game. 904 00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:36,400 Speaker 8: I know it's ruled early, only a three week sample size, 905 00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:40,160 Speaker 8: but have you seen some opportunities there or just where? 906 00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:42,440 Speaker 8: How do you feel the return game's going. 907 00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:42,920 Speaker 25: Forward right now? 908 00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:45,120 Speaker 9: I'd say we're off to a little bit of a 909 00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:47,920 Speaker 9: slow start in the return game, you know, specifically the 910 00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:49,719 Speaker 9: punt return. We got to do a better job of 911 00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:52,480 Speaker 9: setting up on the ball and getting the ball downhill, 912 00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:54,520 Speaker 9: you know, taking what they're going to give us, not 913 00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:56,480 Speaker 9: trying to make too many plays, not trying to get 914 00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:58,640 Speaker 9: too much. Take what they're going to give you, and 915 00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:01,680 Speaker 9: then those big plays will happen. I think we're kind 916 00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:04,200 Speaker 9: of almost like you want to say, like forcing it 917 00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:06,760 Speaker 9: a little bit at this point, but I think Donovan 918 00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:10,280 Speaker 9: will improve this week and going you know, moving forward. 919 00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:14,799 Speaker 8: The explosiveness in the in the in the return game 920 00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:17,000 Speaker 8: doesn't seem to be there like it used to be. 921 00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:18,840 Speaker 7: You know, we used to have. 922 00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:22,240 Speaker 8: Those prolific returners that you had to worry about weekend 923 00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:22,919 Speaker 8: and week out. 924 00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:25,120 Speaker 7: What do you think has changed. 925 00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:27,399 Speaker 12: About in the league why we. 926 00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:30,440 Speaker 8: Don't see as many of those explosive returns anymore. 927 00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:34,239 Speaker 9: I think there's I mean to refute you a little bit, 928 00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:36,680 Speaker 9: I think there's actually been quite a bit of of 929 00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:39,480 Speaker 9: explosive returns throughout the league to this. You know, through 930 00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:41,359 Speaker 9: the first three weeks, if you go back and look 931 00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:43,800 Speaker 9: at the plays that have happened, there's been a handful 932 00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:49,279 Speaker 9: of touchdowns already. There's some longer returns. I think I 933 00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:54,320 Speaker 9: would say the punters have have definitely given some returners 934 00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:57,319 Speaker 9: fits at times. I think the punters have improved, but 935 00:38:57,360 --> 00:39:02,000 Speaker 9: I don't think there's a lack of talent or speed 936 00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:05,520 Speaker 9: or dynamic ability at their returner position. If you really 937 00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:09,240 Speaker 9: go down through the entire NFL, you know, every team 938 00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:12,600 Speaker 9: has some type of weapon back there in some capacity, 939 00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:15,920 Speaker 9: whether it's the kickoff returner or or punk returner. So 940 00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:18,000 Speaker 9: and it's my opinion. 941 00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:23,680 Speaker 4: Andrew kick return fullback from the Texans. 942 00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:25,320 Speaker 9: I actually had taught. I talked to the their coordinator 943 00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:28,520 Speaker 9: was my assistant in Indy for for three years, Frank Ross, 944 00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:31,960 Speaker 9: and he said it was because I hadn't seen it 945 00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:33,799 Speaker 9: at that point. I called him after the game and said, hey, 946 00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:36,000 Speaker 9: I heard you guys return to kickoff for a touchdown. 947 00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:38,560 Speaker 9: He's like, He's like, dude, You're never gonna believe what happened. 948 00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:41,759 Speaker 9: It is pretty wild. It is pretty wild. I'll show 949 00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:43,960 Speaker 9: my guys that clip tomorrow. We do I do like 950 00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:46,440 Speaker 9: a little NFL teach thing on Fridays where we can 951 00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:50,400 Speaker 9: learn from other team's mistakes and good plays. So it 952 00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:53,799 Speaker 9: kind of like heightens everyone's awareness on how to you know, 953 00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:58,799 Speaker 9: correct or be proactive in that those types of situations. 954 00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:02,439 Speaker 9: So pretty pretty uh pretty rare play. I would say, 955 00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:07,400 Speaker 9: Dubernat is such a dangerous pump returner speed. He's got speed. 956 00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:10,279 Speaker 9: I mean, he can outrun anyone on the field. So 957 00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:12,600 Speaker 9: we'll have to do a good job with our leverage 958 00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:16,880 Speaker 9: in this game on him being disciplined with our lanes 959 00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:19,800 Speaker 9: and our our leveraging coverage. That's going to be extremely 960 00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:21,880 Speaker 9: important versus him. He's got speed, he's a he's a 961 00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:22,960 Speaker 9: he's a really good returner. 962 00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:29,560 Speaker 20: Are they like from the previous week that you're showing 963 00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:30,920 Speaker 20: or like, how do you how. 964 00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:31,319 Speaker 15: Do you pick? 965 00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:34,279 Speaker 9: Yeah, most times from the previous week, I'll look through 966 00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:37,760 Speaker 9: just about every play that's been ran on teams throughout 967 00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:40,600 Speaker 9: the league. Our video guys do a great job of, 968 00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:42,879 Speaker 9: you know, categorizing them so I can get to them 969 00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:46,840 Speaker 9: easy and just looking for, you know, good things to 970 00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:52,239 Speaker 9: teach off of leverage, good tackling, things like that. And 971 00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:55,120 Speaker 9: then then you show, like I'll show a good bit 972 00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:58,720 Speaker 9: of penalties like that, poor decision making, good decision making, 973 00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:03,279 Speaker 9: things like that. So yeah, most times it's from the 974 00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:05,320 Speaker 9: previous week of ball. 975 00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:08,040 Speaker 7: My week coming up. 976 00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:12,440 Speaker 21: Do you have the opportunity to kind of try to 977 00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:14,759 Speaker 21: jump start the return game a little figure something out 978 00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:17,840 Speaker 21: in terms of personnel and give some guys new tryouts 979 00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:18,480 Speaker 21: or anything. 980 00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:18,799 Speaker 12: Yeah. 981 00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:21,920 Speaker 9: I think Andrew and his and his crew they do 982 00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:26,080 Speaker 9: a really good job of always having a list of 983 00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:29,880 Speaker 9: players available, and that's throughout the entire year. But I 984 00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:32,960 Speaker 9: would say at this point right now, I don't feel 985 00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:35,759 Speaker 9: like a change is imminent. I feel like we can 986 00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:38,040 Speaker 9: get we can get going there. I think we just 987 00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:40,759 Speaker 9: got to take a little bit more detail into our 988 00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:43,960 Speaker 9: approach and understand how we really have to attack and 989 00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:48,600 Speaker 9: how we really have to you know, I would say, 990 00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:52,080 Speaker 9: how we really have to have the mentality to be 991 00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:54,440 Speaker 9: able to get the ball down hill once we secure it. 992 00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:56,920 Speaker 9: So we're just we're not doing a great job of 993 00:41:56,960 --> 00:41:57,880 Speaker 9: that at this point. 994 00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:02,359 Speaker 19: Had some mistakes around the league. Harmos right, they made 995 00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:05,279 Speaker 19: a fair catch after the safety and kind of gave 996 00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:06,680 Speaker 19: the cults of free time out there at a two 997 00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:09,200 Speaker 19: minute warning. He said, it was just a lack of communication. 998 00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:11,560 Speaker 19: Do you guys as a coaching staff kind of go 999 00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:14,200 Speaker 19: over clock things like that, And I mean, how much 1000 00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:16,560 Speaker 19: does Kevin how much time does Kevin kind of spend 1001 00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:18,919 Speaker 19: with you guys on making sure that stuff is right. 1002 00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:21,480 Speaker 9: We did a handful of exercises I think I told 1003 00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:24,239 Speaker 9: you guys in the offseason exploring a lot of those 1004 00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:28,160 Speaker 9: situations in games that could arise. Dave does a good 1005 00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:33,799 Speaker 9: job for us with the communication in game leading up 1006 00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:38,319 Speaker 9: to the game. Throughout the week, coach does a good job. 1007 00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:42,000 Speaker 9: On Saturdays, he covers a handful of situations amongst the 1008 00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:44,680 Speaker 9: entire team so that everyone can see it. I try 1009 00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:49,560 Speaker 9: to do a good job on Fridays of showing similar situations. Hey, 1010 00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:52,280 Speaker 9: we would use a fair catch here, we would force 1011 00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:54,799 Speaker 9: a kick here, we would try to kick a touch 1012 00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:58,879 Speaker 9: back here, So every you know, there's a ton there's 1013 00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:02,040 Speaker 9: so many situations it can arise throughout a game. You 1014 00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:04,279 Speaker 9: just want to be able to be prepared for when 1015 00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:07,640 Speaker 9: it does happen. It's like that you're not even thinking 1016 00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:11,319 Speaker 9: about it, so you know. Unfortunately for Baltimore they had 1017 00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:13,600 Speaker 9: a missap. Fortunately for us they lost the game. 1018 00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:17,040 Speaker 4: Well, you know, fust I'm getting here. 1019 00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:19,279 Speaker 15: How have you just seen like Corey and Charlie and 1020 00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:22,160 Speaker 15: those three working together to get everything down? 1021 00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:23,560 Speaker 7: So he got here. 1022 00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:28,000 Speaker 9: It's been those guys have gotten along great, great relationship 1023 00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:31,879 Speaker 9: on this early part of the season for them. They 1024 00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:34,080 Speaker 9: both they all get along well. They all work hard, 1025 00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:38,799 Speaker 9: they're all professionals. I trust those guys, you know, to 1026 00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:41,719 Speaker 9: do their job even when we're not like together and 1027 00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:44,480 Speaker 9: they're on their own during practice and you know, in 1028 00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:46,880 Speaker 9: the weight room, whatever it is. They all have a 1029 00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:50,719 Speaker 9: great approach and you know, hopefully we can keep producing well. 1030 00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:54,040 Speaker 11: A couple of the guys on the defense, defensive veterans 1031 00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:57,120 Speaker 11: this offseason, said that when this team really clicks, it'll 1032 00:43:57,120 --> 00:44:00,400 Speaker 11: be because special teams has clicked, but the defense performing 1033 00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:01,960 Speaker 11: the way it has in these first couple of games. 1034 00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:04,279 Speaker 11: Do you feel that kind of motivation to play at 1035 00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:04,840 Speaker 11: that same. 1036 00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:06,239 Speaker 7: Level as them? 1037 00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:09,160 Speaker 9: Definitely? And I think for us in the kicking game, 1038 00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:12,240 Speaker 9: how we're built, we use a lot of defensive players, 1039 00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:15,560 Speaker 9: and a lot of those guys that are playing defensive 1040 00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:20,080 Speaker 9: snaps are contributing on our units. You see Joka last 1041 00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:23,840 Speaker 9: week with the tackle on kickoff, Anthony Walker with the 1042 00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:27,000 Speaker 9: tackle on punt like he and Taki, those guys have 1043 00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:30,040 Speaker 9: done a really good job for us. And you know, 1044 00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:33,239 Speaker 9: the defense has been almost like infectious to the rest 1045 00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:36,120 Speaker 9: of our team to play at a high level. So 1046 00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:39,000 Speaker 9: I think that you know, everyone has to hold up 1047 00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:40,600 Speaker 9: their end of the bargain. The best way to win 1048 00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:43,960 Speaker 9: a football game is to play complimentary football with your offense, 1049 00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:46,120 Speaker 9: your defense, and your kicking game being able to control 1050 00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:49,920 Speaker 9: field position. So I think that you know, moving forward, 1051 00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:54,080 Speaker 9: that's our goal. Protect the football, control field position, play 1052 00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:57,640 Speaker 9: good defense, and then plays will happen on offense. Special teams, 1053 00:44:58,160 --> 00:44:59,920 Speaker 9: you know, throughout the game. 1054 00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:03,360 Speaker 7: More we're starting to. 1055 00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:06,480 Speaker 8: See teams to use that new fair catch rule. Just 1056 00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:10,319 Speaker 8: now that you've gotten to you know, see it, see 1057 00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:14,040 Speaker 8: a couple of weeks of football, has your view change? 1058 00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:16,480 Speaker 8: I know in the offseason you just say we really 1059 00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:19,520 Speaker 8: value the return game and that's what we focus on. 1060 00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:21,919 Speaker 8: But just what's your take on that rule? 1061 00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:24,120 Speaker 9: Change out or a few weeks de same thing. I 1062 00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:27,400 Speaker 9: feel like you know, to your point, I value the 1063 00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:32,160 Speaker 9: return game. I'm confident in our players. Situational football could 1064 00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:35,080 Speaker 9: dictate a fair catch or not. I think that as 1065 00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:37,640 Speaker 9: you if you if you're going to use a fair catch, 1066 00:45:37,680 --> 00:45:41,719 Speaker 9: it could be more in this situation, uh, situations late 1067 00:45:41,719 --> 00:45:43,560 Speaker 9: in the game, whether you play your hands in or 1068 00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:48,160 Speaker 9: whatever it may be. But I would say, you know, 1069 00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:51,799 Speaker 9: playing in Cleveland, when you have weather and there's elements, 1070 00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:54,720 Speaker 9: there's times where the ball is going to be short. 1071 00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:56,680 Speaker 9: When the ball is short, I want to return it. 1072 00:45:57,080 --> 00:45:58,160 Speaker 9: I don't want to fair catch it. 1073 00:45:58,360 --> 00:46:02,200 Speaker 1: So Alex van Help went next. The offensive coordinator talked 1074 00:46:02,239 --> 00:46:05,200 Speaker 1: about how they plan to balance the running back rotation 1075 00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:08,840 Speaker 1: and the leadership and communication skills that Amari Cooper brings 1076 00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:09,920 Speaker 1: to the offense. 1077 00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:13,440 Speaker 21: Can you give us a little idea if you can, 1078 00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:17,719 Speaker 21: about how DeShawn may have hurt his shoulder and what 1079 00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:20,000 Speaker 21: the outlook is for maybe him practicing today or where. 1080 00:46:20,360 --> 00:46:21,399 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I think it came. 1081 00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:23,400 Speaker 10: I'm not exactly sure one of the runs that he 1082 00:46:23,480 --> 00:46:27,799 Speaker 10: had took a hit on the safety all right, you know, 1083 00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:29,799 Speaker 10: but we'll see today. You see how it feels when 1084 00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:32,040 Speaker 10: we get out there. But we're confident he'll be able 1085 00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:33,960 Speaker 10: to go Sunday. You know, we'll see how he's feeling 1086 00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:34,719 Speaker 10: today when we get out. 1087 00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:38,120 Speaker 13: What was that Tom had run? 1088 00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:39,319 Speaker 7: And I think right before the. 1089 00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:43,520 Speaker 10: Jerome TD I believe, so, yeah, not exactly sure. If 1090 00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:45,279 Speaker 10: be host with you, I know, you know he got 1091 00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:45,960 Speaker 10: hit on it. 1092 00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:50,160 Speaker 21: In what you've seen of Deshaun so far, I mean, 1093 00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:52,359 Speaker 21: there's no way he's staying out of this. 1094 00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:54,239 Speaker 3: Game, right, I wouldn't expect that. No. 1095 00:46:56,320 --> 00:46:59,200 Speaker 8: DTR putting him there Sunday was at a byproduct of 1096 00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:01,839 Speaker 8: desha Older. It was at hey, we had this thing 1097 00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:03,880 Speaker 8: wrapped up in and let's get DTR some. 1098 00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:05,480 Speaker 10: Burn, trying to get him in there, get him some 1099 00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:07,160 Speaker 10: work in a game that we felt like we were 1100 00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:08,960 Speaker 10: in control of at that point and had nothing to do. 1101 00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:11,960 Speaker 6: With that when the trainers had to come up with 1102 00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:14,040 Speaker 6: a Sean earlier in the game and he ended up 1103 00:47:14,040 --> 00:47:14,400 Speaker 6: staying in. 1104 00:47:14,440 --> 00:47:17,439 Speaker 19: But do you immediately go to DTR and start coaching 1105 00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:18,680 Speaker 19: him up in that situation? 1106 00:47:18,880 --> 00:47:22,320 Speaker 10: Oh yeah, I mean that's a really uh as a backup. 1107 00:47:23,040 --> 00:47:24,640 Speaker 10: You know, as soon as that guy goes down, Ash, 1108 00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:26,560 Speaker 10: where's my helmet? I gotta get my helmet. You know, 1109 00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:28,200 Speaker 10: your mouth starts to get a little dry. You think 1110 00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:30,280 Speaker 10: you're going in. So it's a good test run for him. 1111 00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:33,360 Speaker 10: But yeah, and as soon as that happens, it's a 1112 00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:35,440 Speaker 10: beauty the backup. You know, you're expected to come in 1113 00:47:35,480 --> 00:47:37,880 Speaker 10: and and it really just you don't have time to 1114 00:47:37,880 --> 00:47:38,279 Speaker 10: warm up. 1115 00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:40,040 Speaker 3: You got to go and get hot quick. 1116 00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:42,359 Speaker 10: So it was a good little dry run for him 1117 00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:44,640 Speaker 10: to have that experience and then to get him in 1118 00:47:44,680 --> 00:47:45,160 Speaker 10: the game later. 1119 00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:45,760 Speaker 3: It was awesome. 1120 00:47:46,880 --> 00:47:47,200 Speaker 9: Alex. 1121 00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:49,279 Speaker 19: How much of more work in progress is let's kind 1122 00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:51,640 Speaker 19: of figure out how you want to use Kareem and 1123 00:47:51,719 --> 00:47:54,160 Speaker 19: Jerome and even Pierre, just kind of how you want 1124 00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:55,280 Speaker 19: to divide up those touches. 1125 00:47:55,520 --> 00:47:58,120 Speaker 10: Yeah, I think it's it's you know, it's it it 1126 00:47:58,120 --> 00:47:59,960 Speaker 10: It'll flow each week to see how we're going. 1127 00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:01,320 Speaker 3: His cream gets in better shape. 1128 00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:04,960 Speaker 10: I'd assume he'd get more touches moving forward, but you know, 1129 00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:07,040 Speaker 10: I really just want to keep a fresh back in 1130 00:48:07,160 --> 00:48:09,200 Speaker 10: at all times, whether it's for a second or third down. 1131 00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:12,560 Speaker 15: It's a great a nice little route for when he 1132 00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:15,480 Speaker 15: scored the touchdown, But that part of his game, Like 1133 00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:17,640 Speaker 15: how much higher do you think his ceiling is there 1134 00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:19,200 Speaker 15: in the past game And how excited are you guys 1135 00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:20,799 Speaker 15: to kind of, you know, experiment with that. 1136 00:48:21,080 --> 00:48:23,120 Speaker 10: Yeah, No, I mean he's a weapon on the backfield 1137 00:48:23,239 --> 00:48:26,160 Speaker 10: as well. You know in the past game for sure. 1138 00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:28,720 Speaker 10: You know, he's been impressive since he's been here running 1139 00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:30,480 Speaker 10: routes out of the backfield and catching the ball. 1140 00:48:30,640 --> 00:48:33,000 Speaker 3: So that's an area where he'll continue to grow. 1141 00:48:33,640 --> 00:48:37,080 Speaker 21: What are your thoughts on Deshawn's game from Sunday? 1142 00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:37,279 Speaker 12: Why? 1143 00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:38,680 Speaker 16: Why did it go better this time? 1144 00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:40,600 Speaker 3: That's a tough one. 1145 00:48:40,680 --> 00:48:44,040 Speaker 10: I wish I could know that exactly a bottle it 1146 00:48:44,080 --> 00:48:46,719 Speaker 10: to sell it, But yeah, he just played confident. I 1147 00:48:46,719 --> 00:48:48,120 Speaker 10: thought he had a great we had a great plan 1148 00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:51,360 Speaker 10: going in. I thought he had owned the plan across 1149 00:48:51,400 --> 00:48:53,319 Speaker 10: the board, know exactly what we're trying to get done, 1150 00:48:54,320 --> 00:48:57,120 Speaker 10: and was really made great decisions throughout the whole game. 1151 00:48:57,160 --> 00:48:59,640 Speaker 10: To have six and completions and two of those be 1152 00:48:59,719 --> 00:49:02,400 Speaker 10: thrown way. That's a really good day. So you know 1153 00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:05,239 Speaker 10: that's the blueprint moving forward. It's not always going to 1154 00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:06,960 Speaker 10: go that smoothly, we know that. But that was a 1155 00:49:06,960 --> 00:49:10,680 Speaker 10: really strong day of decision making, accuracy, everything that comes 1156 00:49:10,680 --> 00:49:11,479 Speaker 10: with a quarterback play. 1157 00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:15,239 Speaker 20: Well, I's just had nine targets on suddenly. It is 1158 00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:17,359 Speaker 20: kind of how you've seen him handle kind of bout 1159 00:49:17,440 --> 00:49:20,720 Speaker 20: like bouncing back and forth between more of either received 1160 00:49:20,719 --> 00:49:21,719 Speaker 20: a role running peck roll. 1161 00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:22,799 Speaker 13: How are you going there using him? 1162 00:49:22,880 --> 00:49:25,200 Speaker 10: Yeah, we ask a lot out of Elijah because we 1163 00:49:25,239 --> 00:49:26,040 Speaker 10: know he can handle it. 1164 00:49:26,440 --> 00:49:26,920 Speaker 3: That's the thing. 1165 00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:29,200 Speaker 10: So as we keep growing with him, we'll keep finding 1166 00:49:29,239 --> 00:49:31,200 Speaker 10: ways to get the ball in his hands. You know, 1167 00:49:31,280 --> 00:49:34,040 Speaker 10: he's he's a very good runner after the catch, whether 1168 00:49:34,080 --> 00:49:35,880 Speaker 10: it's you know, handing it to him in the backfield, 1169 00:49:35,880 --> 00:49:39,279 Speaker 10: throwing him a short route, bubbles, whatever that is. You know, 1170 00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:41,160 Speaker 10: we're going to try to get him as many touches 1171 00:49:41,160 --> 00:49:43,240 Speaker 10: as we can throughout the course of the of a game. 1172 00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:47,120 Speaker 13: After the game, Watson said he felt more composed, he 1173 00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:50,400 Speaker 13: controlled his emotions. You know, it was a little celebrating 1174 00:49:50,480 --> 00:49:54,120 Speaker 13: good plays at all is a coach can you change 1175 00:49:54,160 --> 00:49:56,480 Speaker 13: it or is that up to him to fix it. 1176 00:49:56,600 --> 00:49:58,359 Speaker 3: I can help, I can definitely help. 1177 00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:00,520 Speaker 10: I didn't do a great job and pitts and that's 1178 00:50:00,560 --> 00:50:03,560 Speaker 10: something I learned from, you know, But moving forward, I 1179 00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:06,759 Speaker 10: think he has that understanding. You know, you can't play 1180 00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:09,440 Speaker 10: the position like a linebacker all the time, so you know, 1181 00:50:09,600 --> 00:50:12,719 Speaker 10: holding your emotions and just really resetting and moving on 1182 00:50:12,760 --> 00:50:15,399 Speaker 10: to the next play, the next series. You know, that's 1183 00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:16,439 Speaker 10: something we all learned from. 1184 00:50:16,440 --> 00:50:18,760 Speaker 24: In that game, ma talked. 1185 00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:21,480 Speaker 18: About the communication that they have on the field and 1186 00:50:21,560 --> 00:50:23,000 Speaker 18: hall A Maari has been able to kind of talk 1187 00:50:23,040 --> 00:50:25,440 Speaker 18: him through some things as a coach. How important is 1188 00:50:25,480 --> 00:50:27,319 Speaker 18: that to have a guy that can kind of read 1189 00:50:27,360 --> 00:50:29,560 Speaker 18: the field for him and help him as the game 1190 00:50:29,760 --> 00:50:30,279 Speaker 18: plays out. 1191 00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:34,120 Speaker 10: Veteran receiver like a Mari's awesome came to us very 1192 00:50:34,120 --> 00:50:36,560 Speaker 10: early in that game and said, hey, I think I 1193 00:50:36,560 --> 00:50:39,040 Speaker 10: can get by these guys outside, and he was right. 1194 00:50:39,239 --> 00:50:41,080 Speaker 10: So some of the routes that we had that were shorter, 1195 00:50:41,719 --> 00:50:43,600 Speaker 10: we adjusted and went to the deeper version of the 1196 00:50:43,680 --> 00:50:46,800 Speaker 10: routes and really paid off for us. But you're always 1197 00:50:46,800 --> 00:50:48,279 Speaker 10: going to listen to a guy like Mari. He's got 1198 00:50:48,320 --> 00:50:50,839 Speaker 10: a ton of experience, he's not going to tell you 1199 00:50:50,880 --> 00:50:52,640 Speaker 10: something just to get the ball. He's you know, he 1200 00:50:52,640 --> 00:50:55,359 Speaker 10: he knows how important is to you know, give us 1201 00:50:55,400 --> 00:50:57,360 Speaker 10: real looks and get real thoughts. And he does and 1202 00:50:57,680 --> 00:51:00,000 Speaker 10: then we obviously have a lot of respect for him, 1203 00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:02,080 Speaker 10: and you know, and if he says it, you know, 1204 00:51:02,120 --> 00:51:03,319 Speaker 10: we'll give it a shot for sure. 1205 00:51:03,480 --> 00:51:06,920 Speaker 21: You know, what would you have done differently in Pittsburgh 1206 00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:08,719 Speaker 21: to keep you know, Deshaun a. 1207 00:51:08,680 --> 00:51:10,440 Speaker 10: Little bit more centered in the I could have probably 1208 00:51:10,440 --> 00:51:12,920 Speaker 10: reset him a few more times than as opposed to 1209 00:51:13,960 --> 00:51:16,760 Speaker 10: just letting them be upset and angry, you know at times. 1210 00:51:16,840 --> 00:51:19,719 Speaker 10: So you know, I put that on myself as much 1211 00:51:19,719 --> 00:51:23,120 Speaker 10: as anything. That relationship that we have to have on 1212 00:51:23,239 --> 00:51:26,600 Speaker 10: game day has to be very you know, calm and 1213 00:51:26,680 --> 00:51:29,440 Speaker 10: just going from play to play after each series and 1214 00:51:29,560 --> 00:51:31,120 Speaker 10: just talking through things and getting them ready for the 1215 00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:31,560 Speaker 10: next series. 1216 00:51:31,600 --> 00:51:32,560 Speaker 3: I could have definitely done. 1217 00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:37,040 Speaker 7: Better seeing from the Ravens defense, dealing with all the injuries, 1218 00:51:37,080 --> 00:51:37,799 Speaker 7: if they had to make. 1219 00:51:37,719 --> 00:51:40,719 Speaker 10: A bunch of a judge set, yeah, I mean, they're 1220 00:51:40,719 --> 00:51:43,279 Speaker 10: they're beat up with the injury bug. You know, it's 1221 00:51:43,320 --> 00:51:44,839 Speaker 10: just the way it goes in this league. They're they're 1222 00:51:44,920 --> 00:51:47,759 Speaker 10: they're good. They they've been doing what they do for 1223 00:51:47,840 --> 00:51:51,120 Speaker 10: a long time. Within their scheme, they're tough to get 1224 00:51:51,160 --> 00:51:53,200 Speaker 10: ready for. There's just a lot there's a lot of 1225 00:51:53,200 --> 00:51:57,680 Speaker 10: defense they put on the field, fronts, coverages, pressures, everything. 1226 00:51:57,760 --> 00:51:59,920 Speaker 10: So anytime you get ready for Baltimore Defense, you know 1227 00:52:00,239 --> 00:52:03,120 Speaker 10: you're gonna spend the extra hours getting ready because they again, 1228 00:52:03,160 --> 00:52:04,759 Speaker 10: they present you with a lot of different looks, and 1229 00:52:04,760 --> 00:52:06,719 Speaker 10: they're very sound in their scheme and they understand what 1230 00:52:06,760 --> 00:52:08,839 Speaker 10: they're doing regardless if the starters. 1231 00:52:08,520 --> 00:52:09,120 Speaker 3: Are in there or not. 1232 00:52:09,680 --> 00:52:12,439 Speaker 23: It seems like you guys were forced feeding Elijah Warm 1233 00:52:12,440 --> 00:52:13,400 Speaker 23: a little good Sunday. 1234 00:52:13,840 --> 00:52:15,479 Speaker 7: Do you guys think it's just a matter of time 1235 00:52:15,520 --> 00:52:16,879 Speaker 7: before he pops home? Thought? 1236 00:52:16,960 --> 00:52:20,000 Speaker 3: Is this explosive ability? Oh yeah, for sure, I do. 1237 00:52:20,120 --> 00:52:22,200 Speaker 3: I mean he is dynamic with the ball in his hand. 1238 00:52:22,239 --> 00:52:24,160 Speaker 10: He's gonna make guys miss at times, and he's got 1239 00:52:24,160 --> 00:52:26,359 Speaker 10: the speed to run away. So matter of time before 1240 00:52:26,400 --> 00:52:28,600 Speaker 10: he pops a big one, even without Marlin. 1241 00:52:28,760 --> 00:52:31,440 Speaker 21: Are those guys in the back end as physical as 1242 00:52:31,480 --> 00:52:32,279 Speaker 21: they usually. 1243 00:52:32,080 --> 00:52:35,040 Speaker 10: Are with the receivers they are? You know, twenty one 1244 00:52:35,040 --> 00:52:37,360 Speaker 10: plays really physical on the left side. You know, the 1245 00:52:37,360 --> 00:52:39,279 Speaker 10: guys in the right they're kind of rotating in and out. 1246 00:52:39,320 --> 00:52:41,319 Speaker 10: But there it's a physical defense. It's one thing we've 1247 00:52:41,360 --> 00:52:43,640 Speaker 10: talked about. Play a lot of man coverage at times, 1248 00:52:43,640 --> 00:52:45,799 Speaker 10: so we have to be able to beat man when 1249 00:52:45,800 --> 00:52:47,400 Speaker 10: they give us those opportunities outside. 1250 00:52:47,400 --> 00:52:47,759 Speaker 3: But they will. 1251 00:52:47,800 --> 00:52:49,840 Speaker 10: They will definitely get up in your face at the 1252 00:52:49,840 --> 00:52:52,080 Speaker 10: line of scrimmage and make it tough for you to release. 1253 00:52:52,440 --> 00:52:54,239 Speaker 7: What are you seeing out of cloudy? How does he 1254 00:52:54,320 --> 00:52:55,879 Speaker 7: fit with that scheme over there? 1255 00:52:56,040 --> 00:52:56,320 Speaker 3: Good? 1256 00:52:56,440 --> 00:52:59,480 Speaker 10: I mean, he's you know, he's a dynamic guy. He's 1257 00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:02,279 Speaker 10: explosive and quick and long. There's a lot of things 1258 00:53:02,280 --> 00:53:03,880 Speaker 10: that you know that he can be disruptive on. 1259 00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:04,640 Speaker 3: But he looks like the. 1260 00:53:04,600 --> 00:53:09,520 Speaker 13: Same guy the Hamilton flitzed a lot from the nextl position. 1261 00:53:09,600 --> 00:53:10,440 Speaker 12: I know he didn't. 1262 00:53:10,200 --> 00:53:13,719 Speaker 13: Practice yesterday, but is that something was the one game thing? 1263 00:53:13,800 --> 00:53:15,920 Speaker 12: You think for them he didn't show it. I don't think. 1264 00:53:15,719 --> 00:53:17,160 Speaker 3: Theyfore that, Yeah, no, don't. 1265 00:53:17,160 --> 00:53:19,120 Speaker 10: I don't think I think they're They're they kind of 1266 00:53:19,120 --> 00:53:21,120 Speaker 10: feeling through their injuries as well. I mean, he was 1267 00:53:21,160 --> 00:53:23,640 Speaker 10: playing safety earlier in the season and with the injuries 1268 00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:26,440 Speaker 10: moved down into the nickel spot, and I think they feel. 1269 00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:27,960 Speaker 3: Like he's a good blitzer and he is, so they're 1270 00:53:27,960 --> 00:53:28,960 Speaker 3: probably just playing. 1271 00:53:28,760 --> 00:53:31,000 Speaker 1: His strengths To wrap up the day at the podium, 1272 00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:34,400 Speaker 1: it was the always entertaining defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz. He 1273 00:53:34,440 --> 00:53:37,120 Speaker 1: gave us his thoughts on the defense not forcing that 1274 00:53:37,160 --> 00:53:39,880 Speaker 1: many turnovers and also how important it's going to be 1275 00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:42,160 Speaker 1: getting Greg Newsome back in the lineup this week. 1276 00:53:42,400 --> 00:53:47,320 Speaker 22: Okay, we talked a lot about the aggressiveness of your defense. 1277 00:53:47,560 --> 00:53:50,279 Speaker 22: How much did you balance the aggressiveness with, you know, 1278 00:53:50,400 --> 00:53:52,640 Speaker 22: obviously discipline when you're dealing. 1279 00:53:52,400 --> 00:53:53,799 Speaker 7: With a guy like Lamar. 1280 00:53:55,080 --> 00:54:00,759 Speaker 25: Well, I mean, speed, effort, you know, those kind of 1281 00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:03,239 Speaker 25: things we're gonna go. I mean, I think you can 1282 00:54:03,400 --> 00:54:07,200 Speaker 25: error on the other side of Lamar Jackson. You know, 1283 00:54:07,239 --> 00:54:10,080 Speaker 25: if you sit there and show the chickens, as we say, 1284 00:54:11,360 --> 00:54:13,480 Speaker 25: you're not gonna get him either, you know. So we're 1285 00:54:13,520 --> 00:54:16,080 Speaker 25: gonna rely on our team speed. We're gonna rely on 1286 00:54:16,160 --> 00:54:19,560 Speaker 25: team defense. We're gonna rely on running through with leverage 1287 00:54:20,560 --> 00:54:23,719 Speaker 25: and you know, try to take the fight to him 1288 00:54:24,160 --> 00:54:27,080 Speaker 25: as opposed to sitting back and you know, trying to 1289 00:54:27,120 --> 00:54:27,560 Speaker 25: hem him in. 1290 00:54:30,560 --> 00:54:34,000 Speaker 13: What do you make of the turnover number right now? 1291 00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:36,080 Speaker 7: Does a botherer to care less? 1292 00:54:36,200 --> 00:54:40,319 Speaker 25: You guys are really scraping for criticisms. You know, we're 1293 00:54:40,360 --> 00:54:42,040 Speaker 25: trying to win the game. We're trying to keep the 1294 00:54:42,080 --> 00:54:45,359 Speaker 25: points down, trying to set our offense up in good 1295 00:54:45,360 --> 00:54:49,160 Speaker 25: field position. You know, I think it's a little bit 1296 00:54:49,360 --> 00:54:53,239 Speaker 25: like first question, you know, like you know, you can 1297 00:54:53,480 --> 00:54:58,279 Speaker 25: overcorrect on you know, trying to be whatever whatever the 1298 00:54:58,280 --> 00:55:01,480 Speaker 25: word is, and two disciplined ism good word, but you 1299 00:55:01,520 --> 00:55:03,879 Speaker 25: can err on the side of caution with a guy 1300 00:55:03,920 --> 00:55:06,440 Speaker 25: like Lamar Jackson and that can get him free. You 1301 00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:09,319 Speaker 25: can overcorrect on turnovers, and you can give up a 1302 00:55:09,320 --> 00:55:14,359 Speaker 25: lot more big plays and tone the big play we've 1303 00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:17,160 Speaker 25: given up the whole year was probably a result of 1304 00:55:17,239 --> 00:55:20,920 Speaker 25: guys that were trying to jump a play, feeling that 1305 00:55:21,040 --> 00:55:23,239 Speaker 25: they need to make play instead of let the defense work. 1306 00:55:24,360 --> 00:55:26,080 Speaker 25: We're just gonna let the defense work. We're going to 1307 00:55:26,120 --> 00:55:27,839 Speaker 25: try to play physical, We're going to try to play 1308 00:55:27,840 --> 00:55:33,200 Speaker 25: fast and you know, and then we'll, you know, see 1309 00:55:33,239 --> 00:55:35,840 Speaker 25: what happens after that. But you know, we're going to 1310 00:55:35,880 --> 00:55:38,080 Speaker 25: be around the football and good things will happen when 1311 00:55:38,080 --> 00:55:38,920 Speaker 25: you're around the football. 1312 00:55:39,080 --> 00:55:42,360 Speaker 21: It seems to be some of the hallmarks or characteristics 1313 00:55:42,400 --> 00:55:45,080 Speaker 21: of their offense under Todd Monk and what is. 1314 00:55:45,040 --> 00:55:46,280 Speaker 10: He bringing to them. 1315 00:55:46,320 --> 00:55:48,480 Speaker 24: You know, there's still a lot of carryover from last year. 1316 00:55:49,680 --> 00:55:52,600 Speaker 25: You know, particularly run game and quarterback run game, but 1317 00:55:53,239 --> 00:55:55,279 Speaker 25: you know, probably a little bit more emphasis on some 1318 00:55:55,360 --> 00:55:56,360 Speaker 25: of the drop back game. 1319 00:55:57,280 --> 00:55:59,880 Speaker 24: You know, his completion percent is just way up. 1320 00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:03,879 Speaker 25: They're trying to you know, get high percentage completions, get 1321 00:56:03,880 --> 00:56:07,200 Speaker 25: the ball out of his hand fairly quickly. But you 1322 00:56:07,239 --> 00:56:12,320 Speaker 25: know that that goes, that goes, you know, both ways 1323 00:56:12,320 --> 00:56:14,000 Speaker 25: it gets it comes out of his hand a little 1324 00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:17,520 Speaker 25: bit faster, but sometimes he's really dangerous when he's holding 1325 00:56:17,520 --> 00:56:20,160 Speaker 25: the ball a long time, making guys missing and making 1326 00:56:20,160 --> 00:56:24,439 Speaker 25: big plays down the field. So you know, there's there's 1327 00:56:24,480 --> 00:56:27,759 Speaker 25: still a lot of carryover from years past. You know, 1328 00:56:27,920 --> 00:56:30,640 Speaker 25: I think with coach Harball there he's not going to 1329 00:56:30,719 --> 00:56:34,000 Speaker 25: let it get too far away from his philosophy. And 1330 00:56:34,120 --> 00:56:37,560 Speaker 25: you know their effort to be physical and control the 1331 00:56:37,560 --> 00:56:40,279 Speaker 25: game with the run game, So you know there there's 1332 00:56:40,320 --> 00:56:43,560 Speaker 25: there's a lot of stuff there, and you know, well 1333 00:56:43,719 --> 00:56:46,040 Speaker 25: to be ready for a lot of different personnel packages. 1334 00:56:47,080 --> 00:56:51,440 Speaker 25: They they use different packages within personnel packages and things 1335 00:56:51,480 --> 00:56:53,799 Speaker 25: like that, so you know, we'll match it a lot 1336 00:56:53,800 --> 00:56:54,560 Speaker 25: of different ways. 1337 00:56:58,280 --> 00:57:01,880 Speaker 8: Breaking down the mar see he's shaken off two with 1338 00:57:02,040 --> 00:57:05,719 Speaker 8: three tacklers. Looks like he's wrapped up, but he's not 1339 00:57:05,760 --> 00:57:09,239 Speaker 8: wrapped up. What are you telling your your your players 1340 00:57:10,160 --> 00:57:13,840 Speaker 8: about those situations? And why is he such a difficult 1341 00:57:13,920 --> 00:57:14,520 Speaker 8: player to. 1342 00:57:14,560 --> 00:57:17,520 Speaker 25: Bring down Because he's one of the best athletes in 1343 00:57:17,560 --> 00:57:20,560 Speaker 25: the NFL and it just happens to play a quarterback position. 1344 00:57:20,840 --> 00:57:23,680 Speaker 25: So you know, if we saw running backs doing that, 1345 00:57:23,880 --> 00:57:28,000 Speaker 25: we wouldn't you know, we wouldn't bat an eye. You know, 1346 00:57:28,000 --> 00:57:29,880 Speaker 25: we got to tackle him like he's a running back, 1347 00:57:30,360 --> 00:57:31,080 Speaker 25: tackle him like. 1348 00:57:31,040 --> 00:57:31,920 Speaker 12: He's a wide receiver. 1349 00:57:32,400 --> 00:57:34,520 Speaker 25: Just because the balls in his hand doesn't mean that 1350 00:57:34,640 --> 00:57:37,200 Speaker 25: he's still not a you know, a threat to run. 1351 00:57:37,400 --> 00:57:41,800 Speaker 25: So you know, I think that that probably that probably 1352 00:57:41,840 --> 00:57:44,960 Speaker 25: has a lot to do with it. And you know, 1353 00:57:44,960 --> 00:57:47,000 Speaker 25: we're gonna try to be physical. You know, if he 1354 00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:49,320 Speaker 25: does run, we're going to try to play our game 1355 00:57:49,680 --> 00:57:52,680 Speaker 25: and you know, put some hits on him and you 1356 00:57:52,720 --> 00:57:55,520 Speaker 25: know those kind of things. But you know, you got 1357 00:57:55,520 --> 00:57:58,280 Speaker 25: to tackle him like he's a running back. And you know, 1358 00:57:58,360 --> 00:58:01,160 Speaker 25: if you if you have to up, if you play 1359 00:58:01,240 --> 00:58:04,680 Speaker 25: too cautious or you know, a guy like that, if 1360 00:58:04,680 --> 00:58:06,600 Speaker 25: he pumps you off your feet, you know we're not 1361 00:58:06,600 --> 00:58:08,760 Speaker 25: playing good defense if you see guys leave their feet 1362 00:58:08,800 --> 00:58:11,160 Speaker 25: on the quarterback right because he's just gonna pull it 1363 00:58:11,200 --> 00:58:12,920 Speaker 25: and he's going to fly past and he's going to 1364 00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:15,040 Speaker 25: make a big play, so we get to stay on 1365 00:58:15,080 --> 00:58:17,080 Speaker 25: our feet. We had to tackle through his mid section 1366 00:58:17,600 --> 00:58:19,440 Speaker 25: and we got to get him on the ground like he's. 1367 00:58:19,280 --> 00:58:19,919 Speaker 24: A running back. 1368 00:58:20,120 --> 00:58:21,720 Speaker 21: What can you say about Miles is three and a 1369 00:58:21,760 --> 00:58:24,960 Speaker 21: half sad game and just how dominant he's appeared to 1370 00:58:24,960 --> 00:58:25,320 Speaker 21: be from. 1371 00:58:25,280 --> 00:58:27,760 Speaker 25: Start to finish in that game, I think there's still 1372 00:58:27,800 --> 00:58:29,680 Speaker 25: meat on the bone, to tell you the truth, I 1373 00:58:29,720 --> 00:58:33,200 Speaker 25: think you know there's still there's still times. You know, 1374 00:58:33,240 --> 00:58:35,840 Speaker 25: we haven't gotten we haven't played a lot of snaps 1375 00:58:36,080 --> 00:58:38,600 Speaker 25: because we've been getting off the field on third down, 1376 00:58:39,200 --> 00:58:41,360 Speaker 25: so that hasn't given the guys, you know, a lot 1377 00:58:41,400 --> 00:58:44,240 Speaker 25: of opportunities to rush. But they're still hitting the quarterback 1378 00:58:44,280 --> 00:58:48,280 Speaker 25: a bunch and you know, things like that. So you know, 1379 00:58:48,840 --> 00:58:51,040 Speaker 25: sacks are great, and we want to get sacks, but 1380 00:58:51,280 --> 00:58:55,120 Speaker 25: you know, you know it, sometimes a great pass rush 1381 00:58:55,360 --> 00:58:58,120 Speaker 25: doesn't equal a sack. Sometimes the ball can be thrown 1382 00:58:58,200 --> 00:59:01,920 Speaker 25: quick and it be an incomplete pass. Sometimes you know, 1383 00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:15,200 Speaker 25: sometimes it can be safety on that one. But Miles 1384 00:59:15,240 --> 00:59:17,760 Speaker 25: was there to clean them up. And you know, we're 1385 00:59:17,800 --> 00:59:21,360 Speaker 25: about the group up front, you know, and and Miles 1386 00:59:21,400 --> 00:59:22,680 Speaker 25: is a great player. But we get a lot of 1387 00:59:22,680 --> 00:59:25,480 Speaker 25: great players up front, and we're trying to produce as 1388 00:59:25,520 --> 00:59:28,360 Speaker 25: a group, and we have an unselfish group. They don't 1389 00:59:28,360 --> 00:59:30,280 Speaker 25: make it about one person. We don't make it about 1390 00:59:30,280 --> 00:59:33,960 Speaker 25: one person. We try to get the job done, whether 1391 00:59:34,040 --> 00:59:38,520 Speaker 25: it's Alex Wright or Miles or Obo or z or 1392 00:59:38,640 --> 00:59:40,880 Speaker 25: Jordan or you know, whoever's in there. You guys know, 1393 00:59:40,960 --> 00:59:42,560 Speaker 25: we play a lot of guys up front. We have 1394 00:59:42,560 --> 00:59:46,120 Speaker 25: a high standard and you know, they all celebrate each 1395 00:59:46,160 --> 00:59:48,400 Speaker 25: other's success. As long as we stay on that track, 1396 00:59:48,480 --> 00:59:52,320 Speaker 25: we'll be fine, not worrying about you know, guys, individual 1397 00:59:52,360 --> 00:59:53,600 Speaker 25: stats and things like that. 1398 00:59:53,880 --> 00:59:56,600 Speaker 7: Who do you think the tight to move? The too 1399 00:59:56,600 --> 00:59:57,919 Speaker 7: tight keep moving and too tight ads? 1400 00:59:57,920 --> 00:59:59,720 Speaker 25: And Miles was going back for Yeah, you know, I 1401 00:59:59,720 --> 01:00:02,440 Speaker 25: saw when I was in Detroit as head coach, saw 1402 01:00:02,520 --> 01:00:05,920 Speaker 25: team do that. Calvin Johnson put two guys in vice 1403 01:00:05,960 --> 01:00:08,440 Speaker 25: over him, and you know, sometimes you never you know, 1404 01:00:09,280 --> 01:00:12,360 Speaker 25: it's like wow, first time ever saw that, you know, 1405 01:00:12,400 --> 01:00:15,320 Speaker 25: and and teams follow, you know, but that's you know, 1406 01:00:15,360 --> 01:00:17,920 Speaker 25: we have the ability to be able to give Miles 1407 01:00:17,920 --> 01:00:21,160 Speaker 25: the freedom to you know, move away from some of 1408 01:00:21,160 --> 01:00:23,800 Speaker 25: those situations. And I think you just saw that they 1409 01:00:23,800 --> 01:00:25,320 Speaker 25: were trying to tail them. We were trying to get 1410 01:00:25,320 --> 01:00:27,440 Speaker 25: away from it. They ran out of the clock, you know, 1411 01:00:27,600 --> 01:00:30,520 Speaker 25: so you know, and at that point of the game, 1412 01:00:30,600 --> 01:00:33,720 Speaker 25: taking a time out was pretty critical, you know, because 1413 01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:37,560 Speaker 25: you know, if I was, we seventeen up at that point, 1414 01:00:38,520 --> 01:00:39,760 Speaker 25: but timeouts were critical. 1415 01:00:39,800 --> 01:00:40,479 Speaker 12: It's fourth quarter. 1416 01:00:40,520 --> 01:00:43,800 Speaker 25: Timeouts are critical, so you know the effectiveness of that. 1417 01:00:43,920 --> 01:00:46,080 Speaker 25: And then having a good effective pass rush on the 1418 01:00:46,120 --> 01:00:49,120 Speaker 25: other play. You know, when when it's all said and done, 1419 01:00:49,720 --> 01:00:53,720 Speaker 25: you know, whether Miles was dribbling or they're chasing two 1420 01:00:53,920 --> 01:00:57,720 Speaker 25: tight ends across him or you know whatever, it's what 1421 01:00:57,800 --> 01:00:58,640 Speaker 25: happens after the. 1422 01:00:58,640 --> 01:00:59,960 Speaker 24: Snap that's the most important. 1423 01:01:00,520 --> 01:01:03,439 Speaker 25: And you know, you know, we gotta cover, we gotta rush, 1424 01:01:03,480 --> 01:01:05,320 Speaker 25: we gotta stop the run, we got to stay after 1425 01:01:05,360 --> 01:01:06,040 Speaker 25: this quarterback. 1426 01:01:06,080 --> 01:01:08,920 Speaker 24: We do those things, we'll be happy. 1427 01:01:09,640 --> 01:01:14,120 Speaker 13: Michael Murrain is equally a depth at running or throwing. 1428 01:01:14,200 --> 01:01:16,320 Speaker 12: Do you try to take one away. 1429 01:01:17,240 --> 01:01:19,360 Speaker 25: Now, We just we just try to play our schemes 1430 01:01:19,360 --> 01:01:22,880 Speaker 25: the best we can and play good team defense. And 1431 01:01:23,240 --> 01:01:26,440 Speaker 25: like always, we try to put an effort or an 1432 01:01:26,480 --> 01:01:33,320 Speaker 25: emphasis on relentless effort and speed and physical toughness and 1433 01:01:33,360 --> 01:01:36,280 Speaker 25: some passion for the game. And you know, if we 1434 01:01:36,360 --> 01:01:40,080 Speaker 25: do those things, then that'll be enough to stop a 1435 01:01:40,160 --> 01:01:43,120 Speaker 25: dual threat at quarterback for the first three games. 1436 01:01:43,200 --> 01:01:45,160 Speaker 11: How do you think you guys have responded to some 1437 01:01:45,160 --> 01:01:47,440 Speaker 11: of the in game adjustments you've tried to make to them? 1438 01:01:47,440 --> 01:01:49,240 Speaker 18: And how crucial is that going to be going against 1439 01:01:49,240 --> 01:01:50,840 Speaker 18: a team like the Ravens on Sunday. 1440 01:01:51,600 --> 01:01:54,680 Speaker 25: You know, there's always things that you adjust here and there, 1441 01:01:54,720 --> 01:01:56,880 Speaker 25: and you know, generally it's like, hey, we just showed this, 1442 01:01:57,040 --> 01:01:59,720 Speaker 25: let's give them something else off of that. Or it 1443 01:01:59,800 --> 01:02:03,120 Speaker 25: might even be the opposite. It might be making no adjustments. 1444 01:02:03,160 --> 01:02:05,320 Speaker 25: It's like, hey, look, let's keep bringing it until they 1445 01:02:05,560 --> 01:02:09,640 Speaker 25: until they stop it. So I don't know, you know, 1446 01:02:10,160 --> 01:02:12,960 Speaker 25: I honestly, I half the time I can't remember what 1447 01:02:13,040 --> 01:02:15,200 Speaker 25: goes on during the game. I'm just sort of in 1448 01:02:15,240 --> 01:02:17,800 Speaker 25: the zone and not really thinking about that stuff. And 1449 01:02:18,400 --> 01:02:21,720 Speaker 25: you know, you're anticipating the next move, You're trying to 1450 01:02:21,720 --> 01:02:25,640 Speaker 25: communicate to your players, You're trying to, you know, correct 1451 01:02:25,680 --> 01:02:27,840 Speaker 25: anything that came up. You're trying to get them ready 1452 01:02:27,840 --> 01:02:30,080 Speaker 25: for the next series and things that you're going to call. 1453 01:02:30,680 --> 01:02:32,840 Speaker 25: And you know, I think they've done a good job 1454 01:02:32,920 --> 01:02:36,960 Speaker 25: of responding to those kind of things. 1455 01:02:36,680 --> 01:02:38,040 Speaker 15: You mentioned earlier. 1456 01:02:38,080 --> 01:02:41,960 Speaker 6: What is he brought to that room from a not 1457 01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:43,920 Speaker 6: only on the field, but also just a personality. 1458 01:02:44,440 --> 01:02:47,520 Speaker 25: Yeah, he's a veteran player, he's tough, He's had a 1459 01:02:47,560 --> 01:02:49,919 Speaker 25: lot of success in the league, you know, and he's 1460 01:02:49,920 --> 01:02:51,360 Speaker 25: done it in you know, a little bit of a 1461 01:02:51,360 --> 01:02:51,919 Speaker 25: different scheme. 1462 01:02:52,000 --> 01:02:54,439 Speaker 24: This is this is new for Zadarius. 1463 01:02:54,200 --> 01:02:56,240 Speaker 25: Right, you know, I mean we talk a lot of 1464 01:02:56,280 --> 01:02:59,360 Speaker 25: time about defensive lineman. I mean I still remember, you know, 1465 01:02:59,400 --> 01:03:03,520 Speaker 25: way back and Greenbrier. You know, he got up on 1466 01:03:03,560 --> 01:03:05,520 Speaker 25: one of the plays and he was jamming a wide 1467 01:03:05,520 --> 01:03:08,320 Speaker 25: receiver and you know, he was playing three four outside linebackers. 1468 01:03:08,360 --> 01:03:11,360 Speaker 25: I go, yoh yo, that's not us, you know. And 1469 01:03:12,920 --> 01:03:16,160 Speaker 25: you know, and and he's he's taken to it really well. 1470 01:03:16,960 --> 01:03:19,160 Speaker 25: You know, the first play of the season, you know, 1471 01:03:19,280 --> 01:03:22,080 Speaker 25: he just goes and we get that hit on the quarterback, 1472 01:03:22,120 --> 01:03:24,760 Speaker 25: beats the beats the tight end across the ball, and 1473 01:03:25,160 --> 01:03:27,240 Speaker 25: I thought that really set the tone for us. And 1474 01:03:27,880 --> 01:03:30,720 Speaker 25: you know, he's an experienced guy, helps the younger players out. 1475 01:03:31,760 --> 01:03:34,200 Speaker 25: He's good against the run, in the pass. He's been 1476 01:03:34,240 --> 01:03:36,360 Speaker 25: a great acquisition for us. 1477 01:03:36,680 --> 01:03:39,840 Speaker 23: What's the key to this defense continuing to play well 1478 01:03:40,000 --> 01:03:43,800 Speaker 23: consistently weekend and week out, no matter who the opponent. 1479 01:03:43,920 --> 01:03:44,880 Speaker 12: Is Yeah. 1480 01:03:44,960 --> 01:03:47,440 Speaker 25: You know, I think I think that's probably the answer 1481 01:03:47,480 --> 01:03:50,040 Speaker 25: is in the question. You know, we just got to 1482 01:03:50,080 --> 01:03:52,280 Speaker 25: take it on a week by week basis, and you know, 1483 01:03:52,320 --> 01:03:54,360 Speaker 25: we got to put our eyes on the next opponent 1484 01:03:54,520 --> 01:03:56,360 Speaker 25: and not what we've done in the past, and not 1485 01:03:56,480 --> 01:03:58,760 Speaker 25: what we're going to do a month from now or 1486 01:03:58,960 --> 01:03:59,960 Speaker 25: you know, two months from now. 1487 01:04:01,040 --> 01:04:04,520 Speaker 24: Let's live in the moment. Let's you know, let's. 1488 01:04:05,000 --> 01:04:10,200 Speaker 25: Practice hard, let's meet well, let's prepare well, and let's 1489 01:04:10,200 --> 01:04:12,680 Speaker 25: go out and perform well on a Sunday and just 1490 01:04:12,760 --> 01:04:15,320 Speaker 25: keep doing that, and you know, we can keep stacking 1491 01:04:15,400 --> 01:04:17,720 Speaker 25: nose that. Don't worry about what's happened in the past, 1492 01:04:17,720 --> 01:04:19,680 Speaker 25: don't worry about what's happened in the future. You know, 1493 01:04:19,680 --> 01:04:22,040 Speaker 25: I think that you can get derailed a little bit 1494 01:04:22,080 --> 01:04:26,280 Speaker 25: in this league sometimes with success. You know, sometimes success 1495 01:04:26,400 --> 01:04:29,760 Speaker 25: is harder to deal with than than failure. You know, 1496 01:04:29,760 --> 01:04:32,400 Speaker 25: a lot of guys can bounce back really quickly from failure. 1497 01:04:32,680 --> 01:04:37,600 Speaker 25: You know, you know, there's a you know, there's a 1498 01:04:37,680 --> 01:04:40,800 Speaker 25: human nature to your pride and you get beat and 1499 01:04:40,880 --> 01:04:42,480 Speaker 25: you know you want to come back and you want 1500 01:04:42,520 --> 01:04:45,760 Speaker 25: to correct that and things like that. But you know, 1501 01:04:45,840 --> 01:04:51,520 Speaker 25: sometimes it's it's hardest when you are experiencing success to 1502 01:04:52,920 --> 01:04:54,919 Speaker 25: you know, to not get off track. And that's my job. 1503 01:04:55,240 --> 01:04:58,080 Speaker 25: My job is to make sure that you know that 1504 01:04:58,160 --> 01:05:01,000 Speaker 25: we don't. You know that we stay fun focused on 1505 01:05:01,520 --> 01:05:04,960 Speaker 25: what we have to do, and you know, and in 1506 01:05:05,440 --> 01:05:09,240 Speaker 25: that moment as opposed to you know, what our stats 1507 01:05:09,280 --> 01:05:11,200 Speaker 25: are and everything else, because when it's all said and done, 1508 01:05:11,240 --> 01:05:14,080 Speaker 25: our stats are too and one, right, I mean, that's 1509 01:05:14,120 --> 01:05:15,720 Speaker 25: what it is. Our stats are two and one and 1510 01:05:15,720 --> 01:05:18,160 Speaker 25: we're playing a two in one team. Some team is 1511 01:05:18,160 --> 01:05:19,720 Speaker 25: going to be three and one. Let's keep our eyes 1512 01:05:19,760 --> 01:05:23,240 Speaker 25: on that and let's let's you know, let league rankings 1513 01:05:23,320 --> 01:05:26,440 Speaker 25: and pro football focus and all that stuff. We'll just 1514 01:05:26,520 --> 01:05:29,280 Speaker 25: let that just stay where it is, and you know, 1515 01:05:29,320 --> 01:05:31,240 Speaker 25: we'll concentrate on what we have to do that week. 1516 01:05:31,280 --> 01:05:32,080 Speaker 24: And if we can keep. 1517 01:05:32,000 --> 01:05:35,400 Speaker 25: Our guys focused on that, and I like our guys 1518 01:05:35,440 --> 01:05:38,560 Speaker 25: that way too, they respond really well. And they're not 1519 01:05:38,640 --> 01:05:40,840 Speaker 25: thin skinned. It's hard to play defense for us if 1520 01:05:40,840 --> 01:05:44,560 Speaker 25: you're thin skinned. So there's some course corrections. There was 1521 01:05:44,560 --> 01:05:49,200 Speaker 25: a course correction last week. We were we needed a 1522 01:05:49,200 --> 01:05:52,240 Speaker 25: course correction and get our minds right for a running 1523 01:05:52,240 --> 01:05:54,800 Speaker 25: back that was coming to town, and the players responded. 1524 01:05:54,360 --> 01:05:54,840 Speaker 12: Well to it. 1525 01:05:54,960 --> 01:05:57,520 Speaker 25: And you know there's going to be those things, but 1526 01:05:57,600 --> 01:06:00,000 Speaker 25: let's keep our eyes on what's happening right now, and 1527 01:06:00,080 --> 01:06:03,400 Speaker 25: let's not worry about, you know, where we rank, or 1528 01:06:03,440 --> 01:06:05,600 Speaker 25: where we're going to rank, or all those things. 1529 01:06:05,640 --> 01:06:06,920 Speaker 24: Let's just try to win a football game. 1530 01:06:07,000 --> 01:06:08,680 Speaker 25: Let's keep the score down, Let's try to set our 1531 01:06:08,680 --> 01:06:11,280 Speaker 25: offense up, Let's bring some passion to the game. Let's 1532 01:06:11,280 --> 01:06:14,720 Speaker 25: get our fans excited. Let's get our home field going 1533 01:06:14,960 --> 01:06:17,800 Speaker 25: and make it hard for opponents to play here, let 1534 01:06:17,800 --> 01:06:19,360 Speaker 25: them be part of it. And I think if we 1535 01:06:19,400 --> 01:06:21,360 Speaker 25: do those things, then we'll be successful. 1536 01:06:22,240 --> 01:06:25,360 Speaker 15: That's what you acted last week. But the first two 1537 01:06:25,360 --> 01:06:27,919 Speaker 15: games is what you've seen from him. And Denzel said, 1538 01:06:27,960 --> 01:06:29,640 Speaker 15: you know today he thinks he's like the best slot 1539 01:06:29,920 --> 01:06:32,640 Speaker 15: corner in the NFL, and your thoughts on that too. 1540 01:06:32,680 --> 01:06:34,840 Speaker 24: I guess, yeah, he's in the consideration there. 1541 01:06:35,480 --> 01:06:37,760 Speaker 25: You know, he can play outside inside, gives us that, 1542 01:06:38,640 --> 01:06:42,160 Speaker 25: you know, functionality to move him around, you know, and 1543 01:06:42,200 --> 01:06:44,280 Speaker 25: he can match up quicker guys, he can make up 1544 01:06:44,360 --> 01:06:48,040 Speaker 25: match up stronger guys. You know, I thought Cam did 1545 01:06:48,040 --> 01:06:50,280 Speaker 25: a good job in his place, not perfect, but did 1546 01:06:50,280 --> 01:06:52,520 Speaker 25: a good job in his place. You know, we had 1547 01:06:52,600 --> 01:06:55,200 Speaker 25: miscommunication on one where we gave up a completion that 1548 01:06:55,400 --> 01:06:58,960 Speaker 25: was you know, pregame warm up completion, but you know 1549 01:06:58,960 --> 01:07:02,160 Speaker 25: I would rookie make mistakes. He corrected it and you know, 1550 01:07:02,360 --> 01:07:04,000 Speaker 25: then came back. But I thought Cam did a good 1551 01:07:04,080 --> 01:07:06,480 Speaker 25: job stepping in and that's what we need. You know, 1552 01:07:06,640 --> 01:07:10,280 Speaker 25: Ronnie Hickman went in the opener on very short notice 1553 01:07:10,360 --> 01:07:12,560 Speaker 25: and did the same thing. So we're going to continue 1554 01:07:12,600 --> 01:07:14,840 Speaker 25: to have guys step up like that. But it is 1555 01:07:14,920 --> 01:07:18,560 Speaker 25: nice to have Greg back on the practice field. You know, 1556 01:07:18,600 --> 01:07:20,320 Speaker 25: we'll see where he gets to by Sunday. 1557 01:07:20,600 --> 01:07:23,200 Speaker 1: That's Today's From the Podium podcast.
