WEBVTT - Press Pass: Jim Schwartz

0:00:06.800 --> 0:00:13.160
<v Speaker 1>Good. I know you don't want to talk about baseball. UM, Well,

0:00:13.520 --> 0:00:15.320
<v Speaker 1>every week it's a little bit different. It's a little

0:00:15.320 --> 0:00:18.520
<v Speaker 1>bit different package for us. Malcolm Jenkins had played the slot.

0:00:18.600 --> 0:00:21.680
<v Speaker 1>There's played a lot of slot. UM. Jayalen had played

0:00:21.720 --> 0:00:23.880
<v Speaker 1>slot against Dallas, and some of it has to do

0:00:23.920 --> 0:00:26.640
<v Speaker 1>with matchups. Another one has to do with, you know,

0:00:26.720 --> 0:00:29.840
<v Speaker 1>just trying to manage everything. I thought to go away

0:00:29.880 --> 0:00:32.199
<v Speaker 1>from Jayalen for a second. I thought that Malcolm did

0:00:32.240 --> 0:00:34.080
<v Speaker 1>a good job on their tight ends and in the

0:00:34.080 --> 0:00:36.240
<v Speaker 1>first game we played their tight ends even when Reid

0:00:36.280 --> 0:00:39.120
<v Speaker 1>didn't play. UM, Davis made a bunch of plays in

0:00:39.159 --> 0:00:41.280
<v Speaker 1>that game, and I think their tight ends had two

0:00:41.360 --> 0:00:44.000
<v Speaker 1>catches and didn't really make a ton of plays. And

0:00:44.040 --> 0:00:45.279
<v Speaker 1>that game a lot of that had to do with

0:00:45.280 --> 0:00:48.880
<v Speaker 1>Malcolm being able to play that UM. You know, Jayalen

0:00:48.960 --> 0:00:51.960
<v Speaker 1>did some good things, but probably like our defense, the

0:00:53.040 --> 0:00:55.520
<v Speaker 1>plays we didn't make didn't make up for the plays

0:00:55.560 --> 0:00:57.560
<v Speaker 1>we did. And there's a lot of plays that he

0:00:57.600 --> 0:01:01.320
<v Speaker 1>played really good tight coverage and and did a really

0:01:01.320 --> 0:01:04.200
<v Speaker 1>good job on a really good player. Crowder. Crowder is

0:01:04.200 --> 0:01:06.240
<v Speaker 1>going to get some respect for the Pro Bowl voting.

0:01:06.280 --> 0:01:08.840
<v Speaker 1>What's going on because he's he's really a tough matchup

0:01:08.840 --> 0:01:11.560
<v Speaker 1>in there. But you know when it came time to

0:01:11.640 --> 0:01:13.440
<v Speaker 1>make that play. We gave up that one in the

0:01:13.440 --> 0:01:15.800
<v Speaker 1>fourth quarter. And you know, for us, we get a

0:01:15.800 --> 0:01:18.640
<v Speaker 1>fourth quarter lead, we got to hold onto it. That's

0:01:18.680 --> 0:01:21.959
<v Speaker 1>our job. We can't blame anybody for ourselves to all,

0:01:22.000 --> 0:01:24.959
<v Speaker 1>but Jalen was no different than Leo or Nolan in

0:01:25.000 --> 0:01:26.720
<v Speaker 1>that way. Both of the all three of those guys

0:01:26.720 --> 0:01:30.479
<v Speaker 1>made some plays, but the play they didn't make didn't

0:01:30.480 --> 0:01:34.520
<v Speaker 1>make up for the ones that they did. How much

0:01:34.560 --> 0:01:38.160
<v Speaker 1>of it to shore that? Are they next plays? It's

0:01:38.200 --> 0:01:41.679
<v Speaker 1>like the big plays you mean, yeah, the plays? Um well,

0:01:41.760 --> 0:01:44.880
<v Speaker 1>I think that was the tale of this game. It

0:01:44.920 --> 0:01:47.039
<v Speaker 1>was good to see us. I mean, first of all,

0:01:47.080 --> 0:01:49.640
<v Speaker 1>we can't judge ourselves on anything other than winning or

0:01:49.680 --> 0:01:51.480
<v Speaker 1>losing the game, and we got to make sure that

0:01:51.480 --> 0:01:54.600
<v Speaker 1>that doesn't happen. Stats don't mean anything. Wins or losses

0:01:54.640 --> 0:01:56.480
<v Speaker 1>mean something. We didn't do enough to win the game.

0:01:58.280 --> 0:01:59.960
<v Speaker 1>It was good to see us get back to doing

0:02:00.040 --> 0:02:02.200
<v Speaker 1>and some of the things that help us be successful.

0:02:02.920 --> 0:02:05.280
<v Speaker 1>Third down, I mean, the only two third down conversions

0:02:05.280 --> 0:02:06.960
<v Speaker 1>we gave up, we're third and one, third and two,

0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:10.200
<v Speaker 1>which are tough getting turned over and getting getting on

0:02:10.280 --> 0:02:12.880
<v Speaker 1>the scoreboard there and getting some pressure on the passer.

0:02:14.840 --> 0:02:19.680
<v Speaker 1>But you know, eight yard touchdown, touchdown when it's second

0:02:19.680 --> 0:02:22.040
<v Speaker 1>and goal from the fifteen, and I got to help No.

0:02:22.040 --> 0:02:24.120
<v Speaker 1>One out better with that call, you know, I mean

0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:27.200
<v Speaker 1>his second and goal from the fifteen and we feel like, okay,

0:02:27.240 --> 0:02:28.679
<v Speaker 1>now you've got a good chance to hold him to

0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:32.239
<v Speaker 1>a field goal there. And I played an aggressive defense there,

0:02:32.960 --> 0:02:36.680
<v Speaker 1>and you know, and sometimes when you try to stop everything,

0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:38.840
<v Speaker 1>you set those guys up, and I can help him

0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:41.160
<v Speaker 1>either play a little softer coverage there, give up five

0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:44.160
<v Speaker 1>or ten yards and get him the third down, or

0:02:44.200 --> 0:02:48.200
<v Speaker 1>maybe even go more aggressive and all outplits and you know,

0:02:48.280 --> 0:02:50.040
<v Speaker 1>if they feel quick on a all outlets, but I

0:02:50.040 --> 0:02:53.800
<v Speaker 1>can help him out there. Run game was the same way.

0:02:53.880 --> 0:02:56.280
<v Speaker 1>You know, I thought after getting gash in the run

0:02:56.400 --> 0:02:59.359
<v Speaker 1>game in the opener, thought we did a good job

0:02:59.440 --> 0:03:02.440
<v Speaker 1>handling the run game with the exception of a couple

0:03:02.480 --> 0:03:04.640
<v Speaker 1>of plays. So unfortunately you can't wipe those plays off.

0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:07.280
<v Speaker 1>And we didn't play consistent enough from start to finish

0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:10.080
<v Speaker 1>to come out on the right side of that. And

0:03:10.840 --> 0:03:14.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, that's that's on us. You had six defensive

0:03:14.800 --> 0:03:19.200
<v Speaker 1>ends up five that played yeah, really had four eight snaps.

0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:21.640
<v Speaker 1>I think it was so yeah. I think even those,

0:03:21.720 --> 0:03:23.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you got a couple off sides penalties, so

0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:25.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't really count anyway. What was the reasoning for

0:03:25.880 --> 0:03:29.600
<v Speaker 1>having so many? Well, well, first Brayman, even though he's

0:03:29.639 --> 0:03:32.360
<v Speaker 1>listed as a defensive end, his role in the team

0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:35.400
<v Speaker 1>is really special teams. But taken five in is is

0:03:35.400 --> 0:03:37.920
<v Speaker 1>still a lot of guys. And if we if the

0:03:37.960 --> 0:03:40.520
<v Speaker 1>game had gone different and we played seventy five plays,

0:03:41.320 --> 0:03:43.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, that would have been a good thing. But

0:03:44.240 --> 0:03:46.280
<v Speaker 1>we thought that Stephen Means could give us a boost,

0:03:46.600 --> 0:03:49.040
<v Speaker 1>and we made a commitment to get him some reps.

0:03:49.560 --> 0:03:51.920
<v Speaker 1>He plays with toughness, made a couple of plays in

0:03:51.960 --> 0:03:54.880
<v Speaker 1>the run game in his limited in his limited role,

0:03:55.600 --> 0:03:57.520
<v Speaker 1>but we're gonna try to find every way we can

0:03:57.680 --> 0:03:59.600
<v Speaker 1>to affect that game, and we thought he could give

0:03:59.640 --> 0:04:01.120
<v Speaker 1>us a boot. He made a couple of plays in

0:04:01.200 --> 0:04:02.960
<v Speaker 1>that game, and it hurt a couple other guys as

0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:06.920
<v Speaker 1>far as playtime, but um, you know, I mean it

0:04:07.040 --> 0:04:09.040
<v Speaker 1>is what it is. When the game ended up that way,

0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:11.480
<v Speaker 1>Like I said, I think you said forty eight plays.

0:04:11.520 --> 0:04:15.960
<v Speaker 1>I think greatable plays we had like forty five, you know,

0:04:15.960 --> 0:04:18.360
<v Speaker 1>because you don all sides play from the offense or

0:04:18.440 --> 0:04:20.760
<v Speaker 1>false start you really can't grade or does kneel down

0:04:20.800 --> 0:04:24.480
<v Speaker 1>plays they really don't count. Um, So it could have

0:04:24.520 --> 0:04:28.880
<v Speaker 1>worked different, But you know, I think that sometimes, um,

0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:33.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, sometimes sometimes it doesn't work out the wage plan.

0:04:34.000 --> 0:04:37.320
<v Speaker 1>But the idea behind it was that we thought that

0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:39.200
<v Speaker 1>Steven could give us a little bit of a boost

0:04:39.240 --> 0:04:41.840
<v Speaker 1>and going forward, we'll look at that every week and

0:04:41.839 --> 0:04:45.239
<v Speaker 1>it's no different than any other position affected. Was connor

0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:49.840
<v Speaker 1>snaps decreased? You know? He um, you know, he's been

0:04:49.839 --> 0:04:52.120
<v Speaker 1>playing a lot, but you know, I know you don't

0:04:52.279 --> 0:04:55.840
<v Speaker 1>judge by numbers, et cetera, But it seems that Connor

0:04:55.880 --> 0:04:59.640
<v Speaker 1>has kind of lost some of his effectiveness that we're

0:04:59.680 --> 0:05:01.640
<v Speaker 1>SA three four. He's able to do a lot of stuff.

0:05:01.640 --> 0:05:05.359
<v Speaker 1>He's a very versatile player, but playing downhill maybe it

0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:07.640
<v Speaker 1>doesn't play to some of his skill sets. Do you

0:05:07.680 --> 0:05:10.840
<v Speaker 1>do you agree with that that premise and what it

0:05:11.000 --> 0:05:13.520
<v Speaker 1>would have been the reasons then for some of the struggles, Yeah,

0:05:13.560 --> 0:05:16.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't know that. I wouldn't even call him struggling.

0:05:16.800 --> 0:05:19.120
<v Speaker 1>I think that he's gone sort of the way the

0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:22.640
<v Speaker 1>defense has um, you know, and I think both of

0:05:22.640 --> 0:05:24.520
<v Speaker 1>those sort of go hand in hand. As the defense

0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:26.800
<v Speaker 1>has been struggling, we haven't had It's it's hard to

0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:29.520
<v Speaker 1>feel good about your production when we're not getting any sacks,

0:05:29.600 --> 0:05:31.520
<v Speaker 1>or it's hard to feel good about production when we're

0:05:31.560 --> 0:05:34.440
<v Speaker 1>not doing a good job on third down. Connor has

0:05:34.440 --> 0:05:36.840
<v Speaker 1>been a consistent player for a long time in the NFL.

0:05:38.160 --> 0:05:44.200
<v Speaker 1>I do think that the fresher we can keep him,

0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:47.599
<v Speaker 1>the better chance he has to be productive. And hopefully

0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:50.560
<v Speaker 1>this can this can help that season. If you thought

0:05:50.600 --> 0:05:53.839
<v Speaker 1>of maybe trying to find different ways again Michael Kendricks

0:05:53.880 --> 0:05:55.400
<v Speaker 1>on the field, or do you just kind of view

0:05:55.480 --> 0:05:59.039
<v Speaker 1>him as a linebacker against bigger packages? Now we we've

0:05:59.160 --> 0:06:01.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he's heviously in our goal line, he's in

0:06:01.160 --> 0:06:03.480
<v Speaker 1>our short yardage, and he's in our base package, and

0:06:03.520 --> 0:06:06.400
<v Speaker 1>we actually and we have a third down package that

0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:08.920
<v Speaker 1>he's in. It's not it's something we don't use very much.

0:06:08.960 --> 0:06:10.640
<v Speaker 1>We use it one or two times a game. This

0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:15.000
<v Speaker 1>last game we didn't use it at all. But again,

0:06:15.040 --> 0:06:17.240
<v Speaker 1>it falls a little bit to the way the offense

0:06:17.320 --> 0:06:20.320
<v Speaker 1>wants to play and sometimes you run out of snaps.

0:06:21.160 --> 0:06:22.760
<v Speaker 1>But it has nothing to do with him. He's been

0:06:23.240 --> 0:06:26.440
<v Speaker 1>he's been productive in his role he's played good, consistent

0:06:26.480 --> 0:06:30.680
<v Speaker 1>football for US. Um, you know, I think that it's

0:06:30.680 --> 0:06:32.520
<v Speaker 1>just this sort of the way it's gone. We've also

0:06:32.560 --> 0:06:34.720
<v Speaker 1>stayed really healthy at linebacker. You know, in this game,

0:06:34.760 --> 0:06:37.760
<v Speaker 1>I also tried to get Telica series. He got two snaps.

0:06:38.440 --> 0:06:41.120
<v Speaker 1>But a little bit like Stephen means, he brings us something,

0:06:41.160 --> 0:06:43.320
<v Speaker 1>He brings us a little bit of you know, a

0:06:43.320 --> 0:06:47.520
<v Speaker 1>little bit of energy, and um, Jordan's just been playing

0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:49.719
<v Speaker 1>at such a high level, it's been hard to get

0:06:49.720 --> 0:06:51.400
<v Speaker 1>to that. We wanted to sort of take the same

0:06:51.440 --> 0:06:54.040
<v Speaker 1>approach and get Tully some series in there to keep

0:06:54.080 --> 0:06:56.479
<v Speaker 1>Jordan fresh, but he was playing at such a high

0:06:56.520 --> 0:07:00.240
<v Speaker 1>level anyway. Um, we stayed pretty healthy at linebacker and

0:07:00.600 --> 0:07:03.640
<v Speaker 1>hopefully we can keep that up. Two quick ones on

0:07:03.960 --> 0:07:06.520
<v Speaker 1>one that the Shawan touchdown was was Leo supposed to

0:07:06.560 --> 0:07:10.000
<v Speaker 1>have any kind of help in that situation? And also

0:07:10.080 --> 0:07:12.360
<v Speaker 1>is there a teaching point for from a cloud on

0:07:12.400 --> 0:07:14.960
<v Speaker 1>that play? Looked like maybe he started letting up when

0:07:14.960 --> 0:07:17.360
<v Speaker 1>the ball is still near. Yeah, you know the help

0:07:17.440 --> 0:07:19.880
<v Speaker 1>that comes from that. It's a cover four coverage, so

0:07:19.960 --> 0:07:22.600
<v Speaker 1>basically you're four across the board and everybody's the way

0:07:22.680 --> 0:07:25.480
<v Speaker 1>they ran the route. They ate up all the other guys,

0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:28.920
<v Speaker 1>and you know, I thought that looking at it on

0:07:28.960 --> 0:07:32.640
<v Speaker 1>the field when we have our pictures and then saying it,

0:07:32.960 --> 0:07:35.280
<v Speaker 1>Leo's in good shape early in that route. He was

0:07:35.320 --> 0:07:37.560
<v Speaker 1>just in bad shape late. And that's a that's a

0:07:37.600 --> 0:07:40.120
<v Speaker 1>play that you know, we talk all the time about

0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:42.840
<v Speaker 1>times you can be aggressive and times you can't, and

0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:45.240
<v Speaker 1>that's one of those ones. Just get over the top.

0:07:45.280 --> 0:07:48.000
<v Speaker 1>He's sort of you know last time, and again he was.

0:07:48.080 --> 0:07:51.400
<v Speaker 1>He was in good position early the Shaun's fast and

0:07:51.480 --> 0:07:54.440
<v Speaker 1>took over it. Um the way Rodney was playing on

0:07:54.480 --> 0:07:58.080
<v Speaker 1>the backside, he has the vertical of number three. If

0:07:58.120 --> 0:08:00.800
<v Speaker 1>he tries to overlap Leo, he's to give that up.

0:08:01.120 --> 0:08:03.800
<v Speaker 1>So there's times that Rodney needs to be able to

0:08:03.800 --> 0:08:07.800
<v Speaker 1>make those plays like Um Jaywen's play. That's his responsibility.

0:08:08.120 --> 0:08:09.840
<v Speaker 1>Jay One needs to be a little bit more outside

0:08:09.840 --> 0:08:11.640
<v Speaker 1>on it. But when that guy tries to go down

0:08:11.680 --> 0:08:14.240
<v Speaker 1>the scene, that guy's got to have contact when it's hit.

0:08:14.280 --> 0:08:16.600
<v Speaker 1>That's more the free safety. He wasn't out of position,

0:08:16.640 --> 0:08:19.400
<v Speaker 1>and it wasn't a lack of every finished the way

0:08:19.400 --> 0:08:21.800
<v Speaker 1>that he finished the play. Though I wasn't okay with

0:08:21.840 --> 0:08:24.760
<v Speaker 1>anything about those plays from from this end, and nothing

0:08:24.800 --> 0:08:27.400
<v Speaker 1>to do with him. Um, anytime the ball goes over

0:08:27.440 --> 0:08:29.200
<v Speaker 1>your head, you gotta find a way to get a

0:08:29.200 --> 0:08:32.400
<v Speaker 1>guy on the ground, whether it's Leo, whether it's Rodney,

0:08:32.440 --> 0:08:34.640
<v Speaker 1>whether it's wanted a defensive lineman, even though God knows

0:08:34.640 --> 0:08:38.120
<v Speaker 1>they wouldn't made it that far down there. Um, we

0:08:38.120 --> 0:08:40.960
<v Speaker 1>gotta give ourselves a chance to make another play, you know,

0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:43.840
<v Speaker 1>hold hold him to a you know, hold him to

0:08:43.880 --> 0:08:46.559
<v Speaker 1>a field goal attempt there or something like that. And

0:08:47.440 --> 0:08:49.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, again that's that's sort of my disappointment on

0:08:49.640 --> 0:08:52.360
<v Speaker 1>the second and goal from the fifteen, you know. And

0:08:52.400 --> 0:08:54.559
<v Speaker 1>I look at myself first as a play car. I mean, sure,

0:08:54.760 --> 0:08:56.680
<v Speaker 1>no one's technique can be a little bit better and

0:08:56.760 --> 0:08:59.400
<v Speaker 1>things like that, But um, I can help him with

0:08:59.440 --> 0:09:01.640
<v Speaker 1>a play call, and I could probably help I could

0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:05.960
<v Speaker 1>probably help the defense with a little different play call there.

0:09:05.800 --> 0:09:08.560
<v Speaker 1>What about the way deal played over and he had

0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:11.320
<v Speaker 1>the pick six? You know, the four past bread books there.

0:09:11.440 --> 0:09:13.200
<v Speaker 1>A lot of plays doesn't make up for the ones

0:09:13.240 --> 0:09:16.880
<v Speaker 1>we gave up. Um, you know, I mean we got

0:09:16.880 --> 0:09:19.640
<v Speaker 1>to score, and we got a score our lead in

0:09:19.679 --> 0:09:22.720
<v Speaker 1>the fourth quarter. Man, I'd swap any of those for

0:09:22.880 --> 0:09:25.920
<v Speaker 1>knocking that ball down on fourth and one. You know,

0:09:26.120 --> 0:09:28.640
<v Speaker 1>and he was right there, Harry, play great coverage and

0:09:28.760 --> 0:09:30.679
<v Speaker 1>you know they made One's hard to stop everything when

0:09:30.720 --> 0:09:34.160
<v Speaker 1>it's when it's fourth and one. Um, you know, sort

0:09:34.200 --> 0:09:36.360
<v Speaker 1>of life as an NFL corner. You're gonna give up

0:09:36.400 --> 0:09:38.959
<v Speaker 1>some plays. We just can't make him an eighty yard play.

0:09:39.040 --> 0:09:40.680
<v Speaker 1>Like I said, if at sixty we get him on

0:09:40.720 --> 0:09:45.240
<v Speaker 1>the ground, Um, we got a chance to make another play.

0:09:45.320 --> 0:09:48.280
<v Speaker 1>Can you kind of quickly walk us through wood? Yeah,

0:09:48.320 --> 0:09:51.040
<v Speaker 1>well the second one. The second one, we were really

0:09:51.080 --> 0:09:56.719
<v Speaker 1>aggressive to try to throw it for a loss, knowing that, Um,

0:09:56.880 --> 0:09:59.079
<v Speaker 1>we couldn't just bleed out at that point. We had

0:09:59.120 --> 0:10:01.320
<v Speaker 1>to do something. We we had to get aggressive. It

0:10:01.360 --> 0:10:03.880
<v Speaker 1>was you know, it was a blitz and it's going

0:10:03.960 --> 0:10:05.679
<v Speaker 1>to be a little bit of an all or nothing

0:10:05.760 --> 0:10:07.240
<v Speaker 1>when it comes to that, which at that point I

0:10:07.520 --> 0:10:10.840
<v Speaker 1>honestly was sort of okay, because if we can knock

0:10:10.920 --> 0:10:12.319
<v Speaker 1>him for a lost yardage to play and make it

0:10:12.320 --> 0:10:15.800
<v Speaker 1>a longer field goal, Um, you know, put him in

0:10:15.840 --> 0:10:18.800
<v Speaker 1>a tough position, that's good. If not the best thing

0:10:18.800 --> 0:10:20.880
<v Speaker 1>in that situation was give up a score. Now, we

0:10:20.880 --> 0:10:22.559
<v Speaker 1>were not trying to give up a score there. We

0:10:22.559 --> 0:10:24.840
<v Speaker 1>didn't step aside. We were trying to make it for

0:10:24.880 --> 0:10:26.920
<v Speaker 1>a loss, but a little bit like goal line. You

0:10:26.920 --> 0:10:29.920
<v Speaker 1>know how many times you see or running back across

0:10:29.960 --> 0:10:32.920
<v Speaker 1>the goal line go untouched and you're like, Jesus, it

0:10:32.920 --> 0:10:34.599
<v Speaker 1>doesn't happen on first and second now when it's the

0:10:34.640 --> 0:10:36.760
<v Speaker 1>reason is you're so aggressive to stop that six inch

0:10:36.880 --> 0:10:38.559
<v Speaker 1>that if he does break it, then it's there. A

0:10:38.600 --> 0:10:43.240
<v Speaker 1>little bit of the same thing. First one was disappointing. Um,

0:10:43.679 --> 0:10:47.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, we just we we didn't. We didn't. We

0:10:47.000 --> 0:10:53.199
<v Speaker 1>were sort of um, I don't know. We had too

0:10:53.200 --> 0:10:56.200
<v Speaker 1>many guys tried to make the play rather than do

0:10:56.360 --> 0:10:59.000
<v Speaker 1>their job in the defense. And that's one of the

0:10:59.040 --> 0:11:01.800
<v Speaker 1>things we talk about ardent against when you're struggling, when

0:11:01.800 --> 0:11:04.319
<v Speaker 1>you're pressing. I went through way too long a die

0:11:04.320 --> 0:11:07.200
<v Speaker 1>a tribe about being in a slump and you know

0:11:07.240 --> 0:11:09.480
<v Speaker 1>baseball players and how they get out of it. We

0:11:09.480 --> 0:11:11.839
<v Speaker 1>were guilty of that on that play. Too many guys

0:11:11.880 --> 0:11:14.280
<v Speaker 1>tried to make the play rather than just trusting their

0:11:14.320 --> 0:11:17.679
<v Speaker 1>technique and trust in their job, and um, as a result,

0:11:17.720 --> 0:11:23.200
<v Speaker 1>we paid for with a touchdown. One of the best

0:11:23.200 --> 0:11:25.600
<v Speaker 1>things he does is blitz and we do agree with

0:11:25.640 --> 0:11:28.120
<v Speaker 1>that first of all, and then secondly, he's only rushed

0:11:28.120 --> 0:11:30.360
<v Speaker 1>the passer I think I like seven times this year.

0:11:30.400 --> 0:11:32.959
<v Speaker 1>Is there are ways you can get him more. Yeah,

0:11:33.000 --> 0:11:36.760
<v Speaker 1>you know he does rush well. He is a good blitzer. Um.

0:11:36.800 --> 0:11:38.640
<v Speaker 1>You know a lot of it has to do with

0:11:38.840 --> 0:11:40.520
<v Speaker 1>times that he's in there when they were when he

0:11:40.600 --> 0:11:42.080
<v Speaker 1>was in there, when they were in their two tight

0:11:42.200 --> 0:11:46.200
<v Speaker 1>end package. A lot of that's max protection. You know,

0:11:46.200 --> 0:11:49.720
<v Speaker 1>it's it's blitz another guy in max protection. You're going

0:11:49.760 --> 0:11:53.000
<v Speaker 1>to isolate your corners a little bit more. Um. Every

0:11:53.040 --> 0:11:54.720
<v Speaker 1>game is a little bit different with him. But he

0:11:54.840 --> 0:11:57.240
<v Speaker 1>is a good blitzer. And when when we've been able

0:11:57.280 --> 0:12:02.480
<v Speaker 1>to get that and um and complete the coverage behind him,

0:12:02.600 --> 0:12:05.480
<v Speaker 1>he's been effective there. But he doesn't stand alone. He

0:12:05.480 --> 0:12:08.640
<v Speaker 1>can have a great pass rush and if our matchups

0:12:08.679 --> 0:12:11.240
<v Speaker 1>bad outside or we don't cover the guy long enough,

0:12:11.240 --> 0:12:14.320
<v Speaker 1>that doesn't make a difference. You don't measure pass rush

0:12:14.480 --> 0:12:16.760
<v Speaker 1>solely by sacks. Where do you feel like you guys

0:12:16.760 --> 0:12:19.960
<v Speaker 1>are as far as the pass wars scers, You know,

0:12:20.000 --> 0:12:23.439
<v Speaker 1>it depends on so many things. Depends on the score obviously. UM.

0:12:24.320 --> 0:12:25.920
<v Speaker 1>You know you're always going to rush better when you

0:12:25.960 --> 0:12:29.520
<v Speaker 1>have an opponent that's trying to catch up in a game. UM.

0:12:30.920 --> 0:12:33.480
<v Speaker 1>You know, sometimes if third down. If you can force

0:12:33.840 --> 0:12:37.040
<v Speaker 1>a quarterback to check the ball down and then not

0:12:37.120 --> 0:12:38.880
<v Speaker 1>be able to hold it long enough, you've done your

0:12:38.920 --> 0:12:43.880
<v Speaker 1>job there. Also, I don't know, I mean we've We

0:12:43.960 --> 0:12:46.480
<v Speaker 1>obviously went through a long time where we were struggling

0:12:46.480 --> 0:12:48.520
<v Speaker 1>to get sacks in this game. I thought our pressure

0:12:48.640 --> 0:12:51.960
<v Speaker 1>was more effective. Wasn't good enough to win the game? Now?

0:12:52.400 --> 0:12:56.760
<v Speaker 1>And you know there are times that you know that, Um,

0:12:57.480 --> 0:12:59.720
<v Speaker 1>like late in that game, the third and one play

0:12:59.800 --> 0:13:02.320
<v Speaker 1>right before the fourth fourth down play that we gave

0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:05.760
<v Speaker 1>up to kept that drive alive. Um, we did get

0:13:05.800 --> 0:13:08.760
<v Speaker 1>good pressure on that quarterback through the ball way Jordan Um,

0:13:08.880 --> 0:13:11.560
<v Speaker 1>Jordan Hicks was on a blitz. Connor was free on

0:13:11.600 --> 0:13:14.959
<v Speaker 1>the outside. Um, you know forced that second time they

0:13:14.960 --> 0:13:16.440
<v Speaker 1>throw on three steps. It didn't matter if you had

0:13:16.440 --> 0:13:20.040
<v Speaker 1>a good brush or not. Goodmarn't going to get there. Um.

0:13:20.200 --> 0:13:22.400
<v Speaker 1>You know you got to be careful with judging it

0:13:22.559 --> 0:13:26.000
<v Speaker 1>only on sacks, but sacks to affect the game. We

0:13:26.040 --> 0:13:28.000
<v Speaker 1>saw on the other side of the ball, there's such

0:13:28.040 --> 0:13:31.199
<v Speaker 1>a high incident of turnover when you sat quarterbacks, and

0:13:31.240 --> 0:13:33.200
<v Speaker 1>that's why we put such an emphasis on it. Not

0:13:33.200 --> 0:13:35.080
<v Speaker 1>only do you stop drives and get them for lost

0:13:35.160 --> 0:13:38.200
<v Speaker 1>yardage plays. But there is a high incident of quarterbacks

0:13:38.240 --> 0:13:40.920
<v Speaker 1>either getting tip balls or throwing when they're getting hit

0:13:40.960 --> 0:13:44.080
<v Speaker 1>and you get interceptions or fumbling, and those are the

0:13:44.080 --> 0:13:46.600
<v Speaker 1>plays that we've been missing, and we got to get

0:13:46.600 --> 0:13:54.720
<v Speaker 1>back to those backfield season. Terrence defense a little well.

0:13:55.160 --> 0:13:58.000
<v Speaker 1>Terrence is a guy that's in our um rotation. He

0:13:58.000 --> 0:14:00.240
<v Speaker 1>hasn't had to play defense this year. But pi'sa say

0:14:00.240 --> 0:14:02.960
<v Speaker 1>force and he can go in and play those positions.

0:14:02.960 --> 0:14:05.400
<v Speaker 1>He could be He's even taking some reps at Nickel

0:14:05.480 --> 0:14:07.679
<v Speaker 1>Force and he could go in and play that. Um,

0:14:07.760 --> 0:14:10.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm not so sure. In a pinch he couldn't at

0:14:10.480 --> 0:14:13.760
<v Speaker 1>least line up at corner and be able to do that. Um.

0:14:13.800 --> 0:14:15.720
<v Speaker 1>So hopefully Jay one will be out with joy one

0:14:15.760 --> 0:14:19.520
<v Speaker 1>Watkins will be able to um, you know, push through

0:14:19.560 --> 0:14:22.120
<v Speaker 1>that and be able to play. But if not, then UM.

0:14:22.160 --> 0:14:24.000
<v Speaker 1>You know, Terrence is a guy that we have trust

0:14:24.040 --> 0:14:31.800
<v Speaker 1>in and we'll put him in there. Um. Yeah. You

0:14:31.800 --> 0:14:34.480
<v Speaker 1>know they struggled with their offensive line early. You know,

0:14:34.520 --> 0:14:36.360
<v Speaker 1>they started off the season. They had a couple of

0:14:36.400 --> 0:14:38.440
<v Speaker 1>close wins. You know, they were down like twenty to

0:14:38.560 --> 0:14:41.520
<v Speaker 1>nothing of Cleveland and came back and won that game.

0:14:41.560 --> 0:14:44.160
<v Speaker 1>They won a close game over Jacksonville. They won a

0:14:44.200 --> 0:14:47.320
<v Speaker 1>close game over I mean close, yeah, close game over Jacksonville,

0:14:47.360 --> 0:14:51.320
<v Speaker 1>close game over Cleveland. Ums, what was the other one?

0:14:51.600 --> 0:14:53.920
<v Speaker 1>They had another one early in the season that um

0:14:54.360 --> 0:14:56.520
<v Speaker 1>you know that that they that they want and they

0:14:56.560 --> 0:14:59.160
<v Speaker 1>lost four games in a row. They had a revolving

0:14:59.200 --> 0:15:02.680
<v Speaker 1>door at their offen line. Um, you know, and I

0:15:02.720 --> 0:15:05.600
<v Speaker 1>think that that obviously affected him. They settled down their

0:15:05.640 --> 0:15:09.080
<v Speaker 1>offensive line lately and that's gone a long way to him.

0:15:09.160 --> 0:15:11.600
<v Speaker 1>He's he's a hard guy to knock off schedule. He's

0:15:11.640 --> 0:15:13.920
<v Speaker 1>really a level headed quarterback. He doesn't make a lot

0:15:14.000 --> 0:15:17.240
<v Speaker 1>of mistakes. Um you know, if you give him enough time,

0:15:17.320 --> 0:15:20.400
<v Speaker 1>he can he can throw good, strong, accurate passers. Even

0:15:20.440 --> 0:15:23.080
<v Speaker 1>though he's coming off to knee injury. Um, he's still

0:15:23.080 --> 0:15:26.800
<v Speaker 1>a threat to Scrambley, sneaky that way, Still still a

0:15:26.800 --> 0:15:29.480
<v Speaker 1>threat to run, Still a threat to Scramble. A lot

0:15:29.480 --> 0:15:31.880
<v Speaker 1>of respect for that guy. That guy's won super Bowls

0:15:31.880 --> 0:15:34.320
<v Speaker 1>and he's made a lot of plays and nothing's the

0:15:34.400 --> 0:15:40.280
<v Speaker 1>game's never out of I don't know, too big is

0:15:40.320 --> 0:15:41.720
<v Speaker 1>in a good word. I'm gonna trying to think of

0:15:41.760 --> 0:15:46.760
<v Speaker 1>a good adjective to use for that. But, um, the

0:15:46.800 --> 0:15:50.280
<v Speaker 1>games the game's never over his head. Maybe, I guess

0:15:50.320 --> 0:15:54.520
<v Speaker 1>you'd say, Um, I think I've heard it before. Um,

0:15:55.120 --> 0:15:57.800
<v Speaker 1>his nickname Joe Cool. I think you can see that

0:15:57.880 --> 0:16:01.480
<v Speaker 1>in the way that he plays. Um. So what do

0:16:01.520 --> 0:16:03.760
<v Speaker 1>you get from a Marty morning Wig offense? What do

0:16:03.800 --> 0:16:06.320
<v Speaker 1>you expect from well, you know, that's another one. It's

0:16:06.520 --> 0:16:11.400
<v Speaker 1>been about half the season um, that they've that they've used.

0:16:11.400 --> 0:16:14.440
<v Speaker 1>They use a lot of different players and use them

0:16:14.440 --> 0:16:16.480
<v Speaker 1>in a lot of different roles. They don't rely on

0:16:16.640 --> 0:16:19.080
<v Speaker 1>just one guy, whether it's a running back, whether it's

0:16:19.160 --> 0:16:23.040
<v Speaker 1>one tight end, whether it's one wide receiver. Um, you know,

0:16:23.080 --> 0:16:26.480
<v Speaker 1>a lot of different formations, a lot of different personnel groups,

0:16:26.480 --> 0:16:29.200
<v Speaker 1>a lot of personnel groups within the personnel groups. You know,

0:16:29.280 --> 0:16:31.080
<v Speaker 1>just because you have two tight ends on the field,

0:16:31.640 --> 0:16:33.640
<v Speaker 1>doesn't mean that's the only time they have two tight

0:16:33.720 --> 0:16:37.960
<v Speaker 1>ends on the field. UM. So I think, um, that

0:16:38.080 --> 0:16:41.400
<v Speaker 1>ability to match up in those physical matchups is a

0:16:41.440 --> 0:16:44.160
<v Speaker 1>big part of what they do offensively. And then again,

0:16:44.280 --> 0:16:46.800
<v Speaker 1>having a trigger man that can that can make those

0:16:46.800 --> 0:16:49.720
<v Speaker 1>plays and get them back in that game. At that

0:16:49.840 --> 0:16:52.000
<v Speaker 1>game wasn't going well for them. Early in that game,

0:16:52.200 --> 0:16:54.040
<v Speaker 1>they had a chance to go down twenty three nothing

0:16:54.080 --> 0:16:56.640
<v Speaker 1>and next thing. You know, they're pulling it close at

0:16:56.680 --> 0:16:58.440
<v Speaker 1>the end. A lot of that has to do with

0:16:58.480 --> 0:17:01.680
<v Speaker 1>that quarterback and his ability put those bad plays behind

0:17:01.760 --> 0:17:04.320
<v Speaker 1>him and still make his own Jim, can you you

0:17:04.400 --> 0:17:07.400
<v Speaker 1>mentioned Jordan Hicks earlier. Can you elaborate on what you've

0:17:07.400 --> 0:17:11.280
<v Speaker 1>seen from him through thirteen games. He's been playing at

0:17:11.280 --> 0:17:13.400
<v Speaker 1>a high level for US this year, playing good against

0:17:13.440 --> 0:17:15.439
<v Speaker 1>Iran and has been playing well against the pass. And

0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:17.560
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot on his table or a lot on

0:17:17.640 --> 0:17:21.320
<v Speaker 1>his plate when it comes to making adjustments, making checks.

0:17:21.359 --> 0:17:23.679
<v Speaker 1>We have a lot of calls that are double calls.

0:17:23.760 --> 0:17:26.760
<v Speaker 1>It's one call versus one thing, it's another versus something else.

0:17:27.720 --> 0:17:30.840
<v Speaker 1>Does a good job with all that stuff, and you know,

0:17:31.040 --> 0:17:32.919
<v Speaker 1>I think he's been a good consistent player for US

0:17:32.920 --> 0:17:40.000
<v Speaker 1>this year. Okay, all right, guys,
