1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:04,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, obviously not good enough on Sunday. Really, his past 2 00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:07,040 Speaker 1: three weeks got to be better. We're working hard at it. 3 00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:12,600 Speaker 1: The run defense last week I think was was one 4 00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:14,760 Speaker 1: thing that we got to continue to work at. We 5 00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:17,080 Speaker 1: We've looked at some different things we can try to 6 00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:20,160 Speaker 1: do to help our guys from a technique standpoint, from 7 00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:24,680 Speaker 1: a scheme standpoint, finding answers for them to put them 8 00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:26,319 Speaker 1: in the best positions to be able to do what 9 00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:27,840 Speaker 1: we need to do to stop the run, and then 10 00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:32,080 Speaker 1: improve this red zone defense. Like we had some opportunities 11 00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:34,360 Speaker 1: in the red zone, got the third down and weren't 12 00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:39,040 Speaker 1: able to get some stops there. But again, I'm confident 13 00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:41,519 Speaker 1: in the group. I'm competent in the guys, competent in 14 00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 1: our staff. We're working, putting our head down. Hopefully we 15 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:47,920 Speaker 1: can get some better results here so forward. 16 00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:53,680 Speaker 2: I'm sorry. I think after the previous game he said 17 00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,720 Speaker 2: it was probably the worst tackling performance. Where was a 18 00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,320 Speaker 2: tackling last week versus. 19 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,280 Speaker 1: That, Yeah, I thought there was some improvements in the tackling. 20 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:06,240 Speaker 1: There were some misses obviously that that showed up something 21 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 1: we got to continue to work at. We're drilling find 22 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 1: them different ways to drill it. It's different for different positions. 23 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:16,479 Speaker 1: Everybody kind of approaches the ball carrier in different ways. 24 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 1: So something we got to continue to work at and 25 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,959 Speaker 1: drill every single day and continue to improve. 26 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 2: Okay, do you think what's what do you see on 27 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,680 Speaker 2: a young guy? You know from what he did last week. 28 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:31,759 Speaker 1: Yeah, both those guys really really good runners. I think 29 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 1: they're really good upfront. They do a really good job 30 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,840 Speaker 1: in the run game, good scheme, they have their wrinkles 31 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 1: off of it. They get downhill. It's gonna be a 32 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 1: really big challenge for us. 33 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,839 Speaker 3: Do you think teams are running the ball at your 34 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 3: corners and your dbs? Like the run defense numbers when 35 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 3: you break them down, it's like eight nine yards to 36 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:52,880 Speaker 3: carry outside. 37 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:53,559 Speaker 2: Three or four in the middle. 38 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, we've seen some more perimeter stuff here these past 39 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 1: couple of weeks. I think even some of those downhill 40 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,240 Speaker 1: runs that they run where they come in, everybody's kind 41 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 1: of coming inside to block the most inside threat to 42 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 1: try to get that thing to potentially bounce out there. 43 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 1: But yeah, we have we have seen a little bit 44 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 1: uptick here these past couple of weeks in the perimeter runs. 45 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,120 Speaker 4: Were you good with the effort at the end and 46 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 4: looking there were some players where. 47 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, I felt like they I did. I felt like 48 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 1: the they battled. I mean, there's a couple of plays 49 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 1: here and there, a couple of guys here and there 50 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 1: that we point out, but overall I did, I felt 51 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,960 Speaker 1: like they battled. Yeah, we got to start faster. I 52 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 1: felt like we got our footing there in the middle 53 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 1: of the game, and then just the ability to finish late, right, 54 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,920 Speaker 1: the ability to finish late. They ran the ball I 55 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:42,919 Speaker 1: don't even know how many times in a row there 56 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 1: late in the game, and it's got to find ways 57 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:46,240 Speaker 1: to get stopped. 58 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,920 Speaker 4: Tackle attempt by Fonta Vien kind of was highlighted by 59 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:52,800 Speaker 4: it leads to a touchdown. 60 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,119 Speaker 1: What do you say to him about that? 61 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 4: Like, how do you how do you make sure that 62 00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:58,119 Speaker 4: that doesn't happen again for him? 63 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it started with with just the angle 64 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 1: to where he had to fit right, and then he 65 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 1: got caught kind of moving backwards to make it right. 66 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 1: And again, we just got to make sure that we're 67 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:12,080 Speaker 1: wrapping up, bringing our feet and try to eliminate these 68 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,919 Speaker 1: solo tackles. I know they're there, they come, but we 69 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 1: got to make sure we're getting hasts to the ball 70 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 1: and try to eliminate some of those as well. 71 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 5: Shave with birds standpoint, how much how much can you 72 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 5: adjust other than just putting more bodies in the box. 73 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 5: But you've talked about technique and step adjustments, like how 74 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:29,400 Speaker 5: much adjustment can you make to that? 75 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think, Uh, obviously you have different numbers. The 76 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 1: way you want to pressure potentially could change. Again, It's 77 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 1: it can go both ways. You can pressure behind some 78 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 1: things and get caught and they can burn you. But 79 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 1: different things front wise that we can do, maybe changing 80 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 1: up the front, what techniques we're playing in different fronts, 81 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 1: whether it's four down, whether it's five down, and then 82 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 1: the technique we're playing with at each position, it can 83 00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 1: kind of vary. All things. We looked at Monday, kind 84 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 1: to give our guys the best chance to get out 85 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 1: there and be successful. Whatever that is, scheme, technique, whatever 86 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 1: we got to do. 87 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 2: Shame with Burns. He just seems to show up. 88 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 1: Every week with the impact play. 89 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 2: Can you speak to the season he's having at this. 90 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 1: Point, Yeah, I think it's I think it's started in 91 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 1: the off season. I do. He's he's been in total 92 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 1: pro since he's been here. But had a really good offseason, 93 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,920 Speaker 1: had a really good training camp, and it's translating for him, 94 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,480 Speaker 1: and he continues to make the most of his opportunities. 95 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,600 Speaker 1: He's got a knack for getting to the quarterback right now, 96 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 1: finding the football. Hopefully that continues for us because he's 97 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 1: been he's been a big impact player for him. 98 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 2: You say a guy has a good offseason specifically, whatever, 99 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 2: what because you know we're not seeing what these guys 100 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:43,159 Speaker 2: doing the off season. 101 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 4: You see the. 102 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 1: Practice, Yeah, I just think the the intention of which 103 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,840 Speaker 1: they go about their business day to day, right, how 104 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 1: they show up, the extra time they put in, Like 105 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 1: we only have them so much during the off season, 106 00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 1: so the extra time they put in. I think the 107 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 1: lead by example from him showed up a lot for us, 108 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 1: just in terms of effort and the way he practices 109 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 1: and all that stuff translates like can't discount how you 110 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 1: practice and then expect to go perform in a game. 111 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 1: And obviously it's showing up for him. 112 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,280 Speaker 2: Just want more and he's he's not. For everything he's 113 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,280 Speaker 2: done in his league Carolina and here so far he's 114 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 2: not been rewarded with the results. So it's right, I 115 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 2: mean team results, What does it say about a guy 116 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 2: who goes that relentlessly constantly and just have the off 117 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 2: season you. 118 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 1: Spoke about when he you know when you're you're not winning. Yeah, 119 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 1: I mean, I can't say enough good things about him. 120 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 1: Ultimate teammate, like ultimate team guy. He wants to win 121 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:46,279 Speaker 1: more than anybody. I can assure you that, and he's 122 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,839 Speaker 1: doing everything he can to get us over this hump. 123 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:55,359 Speaker 4: Your pressure rate lesser because the lowest has been what's 124 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 4: it all year? How much of that was? He's like, 125 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 4: you can win up front against that forty nine ers 126 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 4: team and then banged. 127 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 1: Up on the line. How much is it? 128 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 4: Are you also trying to balance protecting your back at 129 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:08,480 Speaker 4: night obviously. 130 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 2: Your short hand? 131 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I think in every week you kind 132 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 1: of go in looking at what you're going to have 133 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:16,360 Speaker 1: to play against. I think there's multiple things that kind 134 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 1: of come into play on first second down with that, 135 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,280 Speaker 1: just in terms of where you're sending guys, how they're attacking, 136 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,920 Speaker 1: getting a unique offense who changes the picture a lot 137 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 1: pre snap, like they try to create angles, they try 138 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,599 Speaker 1: to create numbers with all the stuff they do pre snap, 139 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 1: So there's a lot of adjustments that come involved with that, 140 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 1: and it gets a little bit more when when you 141 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,279 Speaker 1: start adding guys in the mix in terms of pressure. 142 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 1: But something we look at every week and just feel 143 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 1: like what we're able to do, run game, pass game, 144 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:52,039 Speaker 1: all things that are complementary to both be able to 145 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:52,360 Speaker 1: do more. 146 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 4: Though, when you get something hopefully flattle your back, you 147 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 4: know potentially how and yeah, that comes in. It does 148 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 4: allow you as a defensive coordinator to do more. 149 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 1: I would say yes, I mean I think that comes 150 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:06,719 Speaker 1: into play. I do sure. 151 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:08,840 Speaker 5: I don't think we asked you Lust too. What did 152 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 5: you think of Carl Banks saying that Dexter needed to 153 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 5: play better? 154 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 4: And how do you think Dexter handled it? 155 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean dex does a lot for us. He does. 156 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 1: He puts his body on the line every week. He 157 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 1: takes on a lot of double teams. I think he's 158 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 1: doing everything he can to get out there and make 159 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 1: plays for us. I mean he's one of our leaders. 160 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 1: I think the guys looked to him. He's a battler. Again, 161 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 1: I wish he had more production as well, and it's 162 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 1: going to come. It is, but he's dealing with a 163 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 1: lot of hands every single snap. I think it's just 164 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 1: based on where he lines up, and naturally it at 165 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 1: that position, just the ability to get hands on him 166 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 1: is a little bit easier than some of these other guys. So, 167 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 1: I mean, I love Dex. I'm glad he's here, Glad 168 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 1: he's one of us, and again he's trying to lead 169 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 1: us out of this as well. 170 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 3: A big picture not just who you guys have right now, 171 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 3: but you guys are invested a lot in the safety position. Obviously, 172 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 3: Javon's missed a couple of games, but what are you 173 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 3: seeing that of those two guys, because it feels like 174 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 3: they should be playmakers for you guys. 175 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, we got to get Javon back out here. 176 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 1: We'll see where he's at as the week goes. I mean, 177 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 1: that's the league, right, But I mean from a season pective, yeah, 178 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 1: I think they've done some good things. I do. I 179 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 1: think they both have done some good things for us. 180 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 1: I think Dane's done a really good job since he's 181 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:39,200 Speaker 1: been in there, obviously transitioning taking what he's done special 182 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,800 Speaker 1: teams and bringing it over to defense. So again, we 183 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 1: want all those guys to be able to make plays 184 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,680 Speaker 1: back there. We've got to create some situations where we 185 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 1: can have the opportunity to make some plays back there.
