1 00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:02,360 Speaker 1: Let it. What's your sense of what's been going on 2 00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:06,240 Speaker 1: so far, you know, first support season. 3 00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:11,080 Speaker 2: I mean, I think overall we've given up too many points. 4 00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:15,920 Speaker 2: You know, there's definitely areas that you know, each player 5 00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,880 Speaker 2: and each position group wants to tighten up and and 6 00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:21,439 Speaker 2: get better at. But at the same time, you know, 7 00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:24,120 Speaker 2: we know it's it's a lot more involved than uh, 8 00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:26,599 Speaker 2: you know that we have to pay attention to on 9 00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:28,320 Speaker 2: film and getting the job done. 10 00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:30,000 Speaker 1: I think it just starts with execution though. 11 00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:32,559 Speaker 2: I think we need to just focus on our own 12 00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,960 Speaker 2: individual job as an individual and uh, just lock in 13 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:36,680 Speaker 2: on the details. 14 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:41,839 Speaker 1: How do you feel your individual production so far? Uh? 15 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,080 Speaker 2: I mean, I don't think I've been in a situation 16 00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:50,560 Speaker 2: to make too many players so far. I think, uh, 17 00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:52,639 Speaker 2: you know, like I said, a lot of it has 18 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:54,400 Speaker 2: to do with situations that we've been put in. 19 00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know what do you mean by not 20 00:00:59,080 --> 00:00:59,840 Speaker 1: in the situation? 21 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:03,520 Speaker 2: I think, you know, we've been talking a lot about 22 00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:07,199 Speaker 2: complimentary football, and you know, just a lot of times 23 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,119 Speaker 2: when we when you're playing from behind or you know, now, 24 00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:12,319 Speaker 2: the first two teams we've played against also have been 25 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:13,520 Speaker 2: getting the ball out pretty. 26 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,559 Speaker 1: Quickly, even when we get good. 27 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,800 Speaker 2: Rushers or something like that, the balls coming out, and 28 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 2: you know, like overall, like I said, if we're not 29 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 2: stopping the run, they're not going to be doing too 30 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:26,319 Speaker 2: many dropback passes that they're having a good run running offense. 31 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:28,320 Speaker 2: Uh So, I think, like I said, it just goes 32 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 2: back to stopping the run, focusing on our details, and 33 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,760 Speaker 2: then uh you know, that's when like plays for individuals 34 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 2: will start opening up. 35 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,760 Speaker 1: Surprising is if not to have a sack or for 36 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 1: the team to have a sack turnover for the team. 37 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought you're asking an individual. I'm like, for 38 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 2: an individual, just when you. 39 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 1: Look at it, seems it's kind of like stands out 40 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 1: to have a bat. You said, obviously we were waiting 41 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 1: hunt the Dallas, but even to turnover. 42 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, you know, I think those type of 43 00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 2: things come in bunches, you know. I think if we 44 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 2: just keep focusing on our technique, focusing on our details, 45 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 2: and executing our plays individually, like I said, then those 46 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 2: players will start coming. I think it's gonna be bad 47 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 2: if we start trying to chase those type of plays 48 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,680 Speaker 2: because we're hearing about it and outside hearing about it 49 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 2: from fans or media and stuff like that that we 50 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,360 Speaker 2: need sacks. I think that will cause the pressure to 51 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 2: force guys to do something outside of their round, to 52 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:27,840 Speaker 2: try to like chase a play when really that can 53 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,679 Speaker 2: affect the whole defense. So I think those type of 54 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 2: plays come more when you lock in and dial in 55 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 2: on the details of the defense and play within the game. 56 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 1: That's the greatest challenge about playing this particular team in there. 57 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 1: Obviously very good. I mean they have a really good offense. 58 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 2: I mean it starts with, you know, some of their 59 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 2: position player, I mean, some of their skilled players McCaffrey 60 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 2: and Deebo. You know, they do a good job of 61 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:53,640 Speaker 2: playing in the backfield and being a wide receiver. At 62 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 2: the same time, they have a pretty good offensive line. 63 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 2: Trent Williams is a really good left tackle, and then 64 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 2: I think he's been doing a good job of stepping 65 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 2: up as a quarterback. And you know, we've been describing 66 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:08,240 Speaker 2: him as like that point guard type of quarterback. He 67 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:09,800 Speaker 2: gets the ball out quick and knows where to go 68 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 2: with it. 69 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:12,240 Speaker 1: Leo, you knew. 70 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 2: I mean, this team, this defense has its own identity within. 71 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:17,359 Speaker 1: The locker room. 72 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 2: This kind of challenge, what do you expect from you 73 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 2: guys from what you've seen over the last couple of weeks. 74 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 2: I mean, knowing my guys, knowing my defense, I think 75 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 2: we invite this type of challenge, you know what I mean. 76 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,680 Speaker 2: I know, we know it's been tough the first two 77 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 2: weeks so far, but you know that doesn't define our season, 78 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 2: that doesn't define who we are as as a team 79 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 2: or as a defense. And I think it's a never 80 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 2: too late to show who we are and uh, you 81 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 2: know what better way to do it against a you know, 82 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 2: a big challenge like this, and. 83 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 1: With this particular about the McCaffrey that stands out. 84 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 2: Like I said, it's just the fact that he's a 85 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 2: dual threat. You know, he can when he's out there 86 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 2: wide as a receiver, you have to treat him as 87 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 2: a receiver, and when he's in the backfield you have 88 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 2: to treat him as a running back. And then also 89 00:03:57,880 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 2: in space he does a really good job of breaking time. 90 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 2: So you know, we talk a lot about running to 91 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 2: the ball and make sure that we're getting tackling. 92 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 1: What was demeanor primary message? You get? What is he 93 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 1: sort of stressing to you guys? 94 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,600 Speaker 2: I mean, I think his demeanor hasn't changed. I think 95 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 2: nobody's demeanor on the defense has changed. We're all the same, 96 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,039 Speaker 2: we show up to work the same. I think his 97 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,840 Speaker 2: overall message is just showing us that, you know, this 98 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 2: is a good offense that we're about to face, and 99 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 2: it's a challenge, and I think he's inviting us to 100 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,720 Speaker 2: take on that challenge and uh, you know, not shy 101 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 2: away from it and not like I said that there 102 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,160 Speaker 2: was the last two games define who we are and uh, 103 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 2: you know, it's it's time to rally together. 104 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,840 Speaker 1: Leonard. You you. I think Xavier and Bobby have all 105 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,279 Speaker 1: mentioned taking care of your own job as players. Yeah, 106 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 1: are you seeing on the film of the first two. 107 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 2: Games guys like trying to do someone else's job and 108 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 2: like playing outside of their assignment. 109 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,159 Speaker 1: Is that why you're saying that or not so much yet. 110 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,360 Speaker 2: But I think in times like this, when people are 111 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,279 Speaker 2: talking about where are the sacks or where are the 112 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 2: takeaways and stuff like that, I think guys will start 113 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 2: trying to play outside the framework of the defense and 114 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 2: chasing those specific plays like trying to get a strip 115 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 2: or trying to get a sack. And then now you're 116 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 2: not doing what you're supposed to do because you want 117 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 2: to try to like get this play to like get 118 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:22,040 Speaker 2: people off your. 119 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 1: Back or something like that, and I think that's not 120 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 1: the time to do that. 121 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 2: I think if we just tighten up the details of 122 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,719 Speaker 2: our defense and our individual work that we got in 123 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,360 Speaker 2: front of us, those type of players will come. Like 124 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 2: I said, usually talk about how much you play like 125 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 2: in the past place when you play like ninety per cents. 126 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 1: How has it been adjusting to having more revision, I'll 127 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 1: be on the kill as much. 128 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 2: It's been nice, actually, you know, we've been having a 129 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 2: good rotation and it's nice to be able to trust 130 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 2: the guys that are going in behind us, and you know, 131 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,599 Speaker 2: it's nice to be able to rotate and keep guys fresh.
