1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:02,400 Speaker 1: Well, you know obviously that you guys obviously have high 2 00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:04,480 Speaker 1: standards for yourself. How do you feel like the defense 3 00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:07,680 Speaker 1: has played through these first two games? Um? Not good 4 00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:12,440 Speaker 1: enough obviously, UM, you know it's not good enough, not 5 00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:13,760 Speaker 1: not to the standard we want to be. But we 6 00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:16,760 Speaker 1: want to improve all year anyway, So we obviously want 7 00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:19,360 Speaker 1: to start better, but we want to make strives some 8 00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:20,960 Speaker 1: week to week. I thought we started the game off 9 00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:24,160 Speaker 1: well with some three and ounce rushed defense improved. Still 10 00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:26,239 Speaker 1: still have to improving our two minutes, some of the 11 00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:28,840 Speaker 1: tempo stuff. So that was a lot of emphasis today 12 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:33,240 Speaker 1: is working out the communication and um, all that stuff 13 00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:34,800 Speaker 1: needs to needs to get better, and I trust that 14 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,040 Speaker 1: it will be good good players. We have good coaches 15 00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:40,400 Speaker 1: and we're working hard. Man. I want to let people 16 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:42,559 Speaker 1: know that, you know, in times of adversity or whatnot, 17 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:44,879 Speaker 1: just double down on yourself. And I'm not gonna be 18 00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,280 Speaker 1: the type of person to change and start trying something 19 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,120 Speaker 1: new and trying something I never did before. Panic. I 20 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:52,080 Speaker 1: think you have a lot some poise. I'm trying to 21 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,600 Speaker 1: bring poises the situation, having some experience in this league, 22 00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:56,480 Speaker 1: and it's not the end up. We always gotta make 23 00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:58,120 Speaker 1: some improvements and that we're that's what we're doing. We 24 00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 1: have guys that are willing to be coaching, want to improve. 25 00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:04,679 Speaker 1: So even when you guys are at your best, last year, 26 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,280 Speaker 1: looking the scores right before the half seemed to be 27 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,320 Speaker 1: a recurring problem. And it's been the same problem these 28 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 1: first two games too. Why is that allowance scores that? Um? 29 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,399 Speaker 1: I honestly, I don't remember last year with the what 30 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,200 Speaker 1: the problems were, whatnot. It's just guy's fighting hard and 31 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 1: um you know how to address are two minute defense 32 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 1: at some point last year and obviously we're doing that now. 33 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,200 Speaker 1: Is the same players on the field, you know, So 34 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 1: it's just going out there and execute. I think two 35 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:34,880 Speaker 1: minute I had a coach one tell me two minutes 36 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,320 Speaker 1: technique time. Everyone see a focus on their technique, do 37 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:38,959 Speaker 1: your job a little bit and just do your part 38 00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:42,040 Speaker 1: of the puzzle. And um, these quarterbacks nowadays, these offensive 39 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:43,840 Speaker 1: signal calls will find you if you're not in your 40 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 1: right spot. And they've been doing good job to find out. 41 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 1: These quarterbacks have played well. I give credit to him, 42 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 1: but I'm excited about our offense. Man. Our offense was 43 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 1: that was an exciting game to be a part of 44 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 1: and they're put up a lot of points. They're looking 45 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 1: good moving the ball if they played like that, and 46 00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 1: they're getting us twenty nine points a game, and we're 47 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,559 Speaker 1: gonna be a good, good team this year. I firmly 48 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 1: believe that I was watching film. I was watching film, 49 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 1: and I was watching games. I'm a football fan just 50 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 1: like everyone else, and I'm watching Kansas City Baltimore thirty points, Seattle, 51 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 1: Tennessee thirty points. Every game I watched, I'm seeing guys 52 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 1: give up thirty points, thirty points, thirty points. It's just 53 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 1: it's early football, and we need to do a better 54 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,839 Speaker 1: job of it. Um. But you know, the rules ain't 55 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:23,080 Speaker 1: made for us to succeed defensively as as early and 56 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,960 Speaker 1: often anymore. We've gotta do a better job of I'm 57 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 1: doing the best weekend? What are you, James, because he 58 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 1: was obviously lockdown last year and it seems like quarterbacks 59 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,799 Speaker 1: are throwing. You know, the numbers are he was six, 60 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,680 Speaker 1: they took completed six and seven week one on him. 61 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 1: Obviously he had a couple of penalties. Any concern there 62 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 1: on James, Bill Bradberry on the best in the league. 63 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 1: I mean, he made a play that honestly, if if 64 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 1: we get a misfield out then and James Bradberry made 65 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 1: the play to win the game. So and that's the 66 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 1: nature of being a corner. What what alahana a build 67 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,359 Speaker 1: a wave us say as a as a tackle. That's 68 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 1: like jumping out of airplane. Not a lot of saw 69 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 1: the same thing being a corner. I mean, either they 70 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 1: don't throw at you and they don't write write about you, 71 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 1: or you give a play and now you suck. So 72 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:07,920 Speaker 1: that's the nature of being a dB. And that's why 73 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:09,640 Speaker 1: you gotta be a different dude, and that's why they 74 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:10,960 Speaker 1: pay you a lot of money when you're pretty good 75 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 1: at it. But James Bradberry made a play to win 76 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:14,799 Speaker 1: the game for us at the end of the game, 77 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 1: and analytics probably shown that we probably could have won 78 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,800 Speaker 1: the game after that play and we unfortunately didn't. So 79 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 1: he made he made a play to win the game. 80 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,640 Speaker 1: And a lot of corners I played it for a 81 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 1: lot of years. When you're not having a great day, 82 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 1: it's really hard to respond. And to see some of 83 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,119 Speaker 1: the top guys, and James the better corner I ever 84 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 1: was see him respond in a way he did to 85 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 1: make the game winning play. That's like a great basketball 86 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 1: Steph Curby, He's having an off night and hits a 87 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 1: buzzer beating at three point. Rick Halling the hero how 88 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 1: he's able to respond with adversity. So that's what James 89 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 1: did to me. He came in and almost had a 90 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 1: buzzer beer. He hit it with twenty seconds left, and 91 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 1: they came in a buzzer beater. The defensive and playing 92 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 1: up to the standards that you guys have, what's the 93 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 1: state the mental state of the defense, Like, are you 94 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 1: approaching it? Like, you know, we're piste off, We're you know, hey, calm, 95 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 1: We're just you know, we we we've got this. We 96 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 1: just have to do we're supposed to. Like, yeah, I 97 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 1: think we gotta relax, and I think we gotta we 98 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 1: gotta just do what we do UM and establish what 99 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 1: we do. We haven't proved anything yet this year, and 100 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 1: I think we're I think we're pretty good on paper. 101 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,159 Speaker 1: I think we have some good players, some good coaches, 102 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 1: and we know that, Uh, we's gotta go out to 103 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 1: go out there and perform defense is not easy spot 104 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,360 Speaker 1: to play, UM. The rules are changing, everything is kind 105 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,279 Speaker 1: of against you. But we gotta go out there and 106 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 1: band together a little bit. And it starts with me, Uh, 107 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 1: there's some game changing players I didn't make last game. 108 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 1: I don't feel like I made enough of an impact 109 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,560 Speaker 1: for myself, and we all look at that accountability. But 110 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,920 Speaker 1: there's no point in fingers. There's no panic on our 111 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 1: side like, oh, we don't have enough. We have to 112 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,840 Speaker 1: who's gonna play in the secondary, who's the middle linebacker 113 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 1: gonna be? There's none of this. There's no that I 114 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,360 Speaker 1: think we have all those pieces. We had to calm 115 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 1: down and play the game and make improvements from week 116 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 1: to week. And nobody has their a game stuff in 117 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:51,920 Speaker 1: week two, and we need to do a better job 118 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,599 Speaker 1: of getting to our stuff and and you need to 119 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 1: do a better job this week. And I think, uh, 120 00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 1: that's what practices for. That's what that's what we're out 121 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:01,600 Speaker 1: here doing his practicing hart and trying to make those 122 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,479 Speaker 1: improvements and being coachable. So what what kind of challenges 123 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,600 Speaker 1: does Dolly Kyle Pitts presented for you guys? I mean 124 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 1: we all know. I mean he was like the most 125 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 1: highly touted draft pick I ever heard of coming out, 126 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 1: you know, since in a long time. He seems like 127 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 1: he's a six five fast tight end receiver. Um, you 128 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 1: saw a last game. I watched the game. He made 129 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,719 Speaker 1: some athletic catches. And I know Arthur Smith and Dean 130 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,279 Speaker 1: p as well, Um there in Tennessee with me for years, 131 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 1: And I was bat on with Art on the practice 132 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:32,600 Speaker 1: field for years, talking a lot of trash to him. 133 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 1: And he knows how to scheme up his guys get 134 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 1: him the ball. So he's a really smart guy. He's 135 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:38,280 Speaker 1: gonna find ways to get him a ball. And him 136 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 1: and Cordel Patterson and obviously Calvin Ridley are guys that 137 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 1: we're gonna scheme up. And they may play against Tampa 138 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 1: last game, and Tampa did a good job responding making 139 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 1: plays at the end to win the game. Those guys 140 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:50,280 Speaker 1: gonna make some plays. We had to a better a 141 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 1: great job limiting that. Can a defense um consistently stop 142 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 1: an offense without an elite pass rush, but without an 143 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 1: systemt press pass rush on the quarterback. As long as 144 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 1: you're diserupting the quarterback, it could be anybody on defense. 145 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 1: I mean, the pass rush can come from anywhere and 146 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 1: and anywhere and anything. So yeah, I definitely, I definitely believe. 147 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:13,719 Speaker 1: So I think a defense Ken. I was in a 148 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 1: defense with Tennessee where leading sack we know what, with 149 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 1: ten saxs and ANFC championship, we were on the top 150 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:22,720 Speaker 1: three defensive in football. So defense you've gotta play team ball. 151 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 1: And honestly, a lot of times you see teams that 152 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:26,279 Speaker 1: lead a league in sacks, they're really not that good 153 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 1: on defense. It's not I don't think it's a direct correlation. 154 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 1: I think it's third down. I think it's two minutes um. 155 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,160 Speaker 1: I think it's points allowed, And I think those are 156 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,040 Speaker 1: just some situations that we're talking about. We need to 157 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 1: be better and to keep it points down. Logan, with 158 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 1: so many guys seemingly open on receptions, is it a 159 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 1: lack of communication or is it breakdowns or one guy's 160 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 1: open on receptions, I don't know. I don't think there's 161 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 1: I don't think there's a lot of guys open on reception. 162 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 1: I think guy's makes some tough catches. I think, uh, 163 00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,040 Speaker 1: you know, I think Logan Thomas made a tough catch 164 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 1: on me in the scene the Bank Bank play. I 165 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 1: think Terry mcgronment a tough catch on that touchdown. So 166 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't think it's you know we 167 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,040 Speaker 1: gotta check next genes see how wide open guys are. 168 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 1: But um, I just think guys are making some good 169 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 1: catches and we need to be um tighter in those windows. Um. 170 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 1: So I don't think it's uh. I can't agree with 171 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 1: the question, you know, saying we just gotta do what 172 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 1: we gotta do and be patient it's gonna happen. I 173 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 1: want to say put patient. I mean, I mean I'm 174 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 1: in earlier and I stay late every day. I'm not 175 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 1: changing who I am. And I think poise is the 176 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 1: word that I want to leave with. We have some poise. 177 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 1: I think we got have pois. We're not gonna panic 178 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 1: over being owing to are not gonna panic over losing 179 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 1: a game by one point. You know, I watched That's 180 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 1: where I was getting too because to you know, should 181 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 1: pretty love to make the playoffs. Each each one you get, well, 182 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 1: how how how how bad is it being one game 183 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 1: out of the division lead our whole division one on one? Right, 184 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 1: so everyone loses and we win. Guess what, we're division 185 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 1: leaders next week. So I don't know how damaging it 186 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,240 Speaker 1: is the playoffs. We're one game behind the division, so 187 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,240 Speaker 1: I mean Dallas won by field goal, we went by 188 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:02,720 Speaker 1: a field goal then in this game, then we're division 189 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,600 Speaker 1: leaders right now Dallas losing. So that's that's the nature 190 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 1: of this business. Guy is gonna be close in the end. 191 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 1: And we got to make improvements from week to week. 192 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 1: And when we get to the November December football then 193 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 1: and stuff will start adding up. But right now, we 194 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 1: gotta make improvements and we gotta find a way to 195 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:16,640 Speaker 1: close out these games so we can stick with the 196 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 1: division leaders.
