1
00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:03,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, Hey, Matt, just wondering how you're feeling after missing

2
00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:05,680
Speaker 1: practice earlier in the week with the knee and tree

3
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:09,360
Speaker 1: oh shoe a uh, Bill gave me some R and

4
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:12,800
Speaker 1: R man, you give me song. Feeling good? You know,

5
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:15,600
Speaker 1: I got to take a nap in everything, so I'm

6
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 1: straight great, Thank you. Next question, Ellensee. Thanks step Matt.

7
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 1: How you doing today? I'm great? How are you doing? Allen? Okay? Thanks? Uh?

8
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 1: New Orlean States have been interesting over the first couple

9
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:35,159
Speaker 1: of games. They beat the Packers scored thirty eight points,

10
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 1: lost to the Panthers scoring seven. What kind of feel

11
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 1: in terms of inconsistency do you get from Newardleans? And

12
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 1: are they difficult to prepare for in the sense that

13
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 1: they weren't consistent you know one week to the next. No,

14
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:49,919
Speaker 1: you don't. You don't ever prepare for somebody's words. You

15
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 1: we know what type of explosive offense they have and

16
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 1: what type of players they have, they can score from

17
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 1: anywhere on the field ninety nine or are they getting uh,

18
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 1: you know, get in that jumbo set and punch it in.

19
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: So you don't never prepare for somebody's words. You prepare

20
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: for the day best and know that every Sunday you're

21
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 1: gonna get the better of anybody that you're facing. And

22
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:16,959
Speaker 1: so that's what we're doing and that's how we prepare. Obviously,

23
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 1: you'd like to get to the quarterback Jameis Winston, the

24
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 1: big guy six four, two thirty, a lot of quickness,

25
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: a lot of speed. How difficult is it for you

26
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 1: guys in terms of trying to get to him? We

27
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 1: we just got to execute. Is about what we do

28
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:35,679
Speaker 1: on the field and just trying to harass Jamis while

29
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,679
Speaker 1: he in a pocket. We know what type of arm

30
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: talent he has, and we know the type of quarterback

31
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 1: he is, uh, and so we just got to try

32
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 1: to harass him on every snap that he drives back,

33
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 1: and especially when our DBS have good coverage back there,

34
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: you know. So they our DBS relying on us and

35
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: we're relying on them. And uh, it's just gonna be

36
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 1: complimented for Thanks Matt, oh B, thank you. Next question, Mike,

Speaker 1: we are we just gonna see this is um this

44
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 1: is so strange in this COVID world. Yeah, in that

45
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: I have questions that I write down like that go

46
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 1: back even like a week or two, just because we

47
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:42,959
Speaker 1: don't get to come up to you in the locker room,

48
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like we sort of have

49
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 1: to wait. So forgive me for this one from a

50
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago. I keep trying to see what

51
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:53,399
Speaker 1: happened on the sideline in that Miami game, like how

52
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:55,079
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, how you ended up there?

53
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,799
Speaker 1: And I just wanted to ask you, can you shed

54
00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: any light on it. I tried to find even the

55
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: like the All twenty two, which we used to be

56
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 1: able to get. I can't find it. So I just

57
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: want to ask you just straight up, oh show. I

58
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 1: was still wunder the same thing. And then uh I

59
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: I got penalized for it, and I asked. I asked

60
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 1: the rep. I actually asked the ref like all right,

61
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:18,919
Speaker 1: like what did you see? And he was like, well,

62
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: it was kind of a long snapper and I'm pretty

63
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 1: sure he had put you over there, so I was

64
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: wondering the same thing. So I do understand because I

65
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: couldn't see it on film either because the film cuts off,

66
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: and so, uh, you know, but that's a mistake and

67
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: I definitely won't I won't try to have it happen again.

68
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: And that a penalty just talked my team yards. Uh

69
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 1: and it was a selfish mistake and so uh, just

70
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 1: make sure it doesn't happen again. My last one, Matt,

71
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: And thanks for entertaining it. Um. I know you said

72
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: you got penalized. My understanding is they also might have

73
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: even find you. And I was wondering if you plan

74
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: to appeal bat if that is indeed accurate the information

75
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 1: that I have. Oh yeah, I mean you will post

76
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 1: then appeal every fine that you get unless you really

77
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: did it. Uh. And I don't believe I did this one.

78
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,479
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm a I'm a pillot and see what

79
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: happens from there. Thank you. Next question, Next question, Matt Place, Hey, matt, um,

80
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: you guys have there The DBS behind you have had

81
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: so much success and intercepting opposing quarterbacks one does that

82
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 1: kind of add to the incentive of of of slowing

83
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:40,719
Speaker 1: a team on first and second down to put a

84
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 1: team into passing downs to to kind of to put

85
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,039
Speaker 1: your guys in position to do that. And two you

86
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: guys getting pretty good at it, feeling comfortable switching into

87
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 1: blocking mode for for those guys when they're when they're

88
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 1: trying to run it back. Man, any chance we can

89
00:04:56,279 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 1: get the ball and obviously some turn it to points

90
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 1: or get it back to our offense where they can

91
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 1: they can turn it into points. We try to do

92
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 1: that as much as possible. So we go out there,

93
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: uh with a mentality and a mindset to to stop

94
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: the run, and we try to stop the run make

95
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 1: a team. Uh have to throw the ball, and you

96
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 1: know the type of ball halls we got back there,

97
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 1: Uh so you know, and they have a lot of success.

98
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: And you know even though they dbs, they can catch

99
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 1: the ball very well, and you know, they make contested

100
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:38,720
Speaker 1: catches like wilde receivers. So it's hard when uh, you know,

101
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 1: you you end up throwing situation and you have to

102
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: throw the ball and somebody uh and our dbs know it,

103
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 1: and they, you know, they just look at the shops

104
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 1: like a rusher's look at the shops on third and long.

105
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: It's it's kind of the same mentality. And then we

106
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: just want to we just want to get the ball back.

107
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: You know, it'll it'll be cool if we could just play,

108
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 1: you know, one hundred snaps this this whole year, and

109
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: you know fifty of them be turnovers. You know, it's

110
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,719
Speaker 1: it'd be real cool. It'd be it'd be a sight

111
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: to see. But we, uh, we understand that that's not football,

112
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: but we're looking to take the ball away any way

113
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 1: we can. If you guys, you feel like you guys

114
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,480
Speaker 1: have gotten good at being just being ready to just

115
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,719
Speaker 1: if you're defensive backs are gonna return those interceptions to

116
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: turn into blockers in a hurry. In that situation, Oh

117
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 1: for shall you you just block? Uh? Nears man, most

118
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 1: dangerous man. You just try you try to try to

119
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,039
Speaker 1: get a body on a body and uh and you

120
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,919
Speaker 1: know those plays like that, you kind of, uh, you

121
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: kind of eliminate the lineman like hopefully he got enough

122
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,720
Speaker 1: juice from high school to still make a line and

123
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,599
Speaker 1: missing open space. So you try to get the speed

124
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,919
Speaker 1: guys and then uh see see what they can go

125
00:06:52,960 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 1: from there. Next question, Evan bazzar Hey Matt, how's it

126
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 1: going good? How you doing? I'm doing well. Without giving

127
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 1: away too many state secrets here, I'm just curious, um,

128
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: what you would think goes into running a good stunt,

129
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: because we've seen you involved in quite a few of

130
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: those already and throughout your career in Baltimore even so,

131
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 1: I'm just curious what you think goes into running a

132
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: good stunt, like like on a football field, or like

133
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 1: like motorcycle type stuff on the football field. On a

134
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 1: football field. So you gotta you know, did you play football?

135
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 1: You play football? Not not like you. That's why I

136
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: ask you the questions. Alright, Alright, my bad, I'm gonna

137
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 1: start asking questions. All right. So, uh, you just you

138
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 1: just need uh, you just need me and willing to

139
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 1: do their job. Honestly. Uh, you have a job to do,

140
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 1: whether if you ask you gotta run from sea gap

141
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: to sea gap or if you just got penetrate the

142
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: a gap. You have a job to do. And you

143
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 1: need a bunch of guys that's just willing to do

144
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: their job and willing to sacrifice for the man next

145
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 1: to them. And that's what goes in to run a

146
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: good stunt. It's not about the you know exists and

147
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 1: the oasis about the gyms and joels, and so when

148
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 1: you go when you go out there and people are

149
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 1: sacrificing because you know, you know, you might not get

150
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 1: the sack. You might be you know, nobody ever give

151
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,079
Speaker 1: up player. But you know, sometimes you'd be like, I

152
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 1: don't know, and it looked like a lot of people

153
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 1: are gonna block me on this play. But when you

154
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,679
Speaker 1: when you go there, you go out there and you execute,

155
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:44,199
Speaker 1: and you do your job, and you do it fast. Uh,

156
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,319
Speaker 1: and you don't you don't care. The outcome longest is

157
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 1: a positive outcome for you. That's when you become a

158
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 1: good game runner. Thanks Matt, Yeah, no problem. Last question, Chris,

159
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 1: Ryan Matt, I hope ball as well with you. Um,

160
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 1: how would you describe the linebackers mindset when it comes

161
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:09,559
Speaker 1: to getting into the backfield where you Juwan uh and

162
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 1: obviously Dante as well and Kyle, you guys are really

163
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:14,680
Speaker 1: good at bona play as the back of what's what's

164
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,719
Speaker 1: the mindset there, what's the level of determination to kind

165
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 1: of make that happen? How you doing Chris, Uh? Well,

166
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 1: going on with that mindset, it's just attack mindset. Uh.

167
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 1: You know do you know? Defense is reactive. H. But

168
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 1: when you when you see something you uh you study

169
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 1: firm and you're like, I'm positive that this this the

170
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 1: play that's about to run. And you're confident in yourself

171
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 1: and you trust yourself and uh you gained the trust

172
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 1: of your teammates and coaches, and you take a chance,

173
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 1: and you know, more times out than none, at that

174
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 1: chance comes up as a negative play for your defense. Uh.

175
00:09:56,240 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 1: That's that's how you become uh good or great at

176
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: playing on the opposite of line of the screening. Uh. So,

177
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 1: first it's about your pre snap reads, about your alignment,

178
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 1: and then it's uh, I think lastly, it's about your mindset,

179
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 1: like I'm gonna I'm gonna go make this play and

180
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 1: I've seen it so many times because I watched film

181
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 1: or because I study, or because I put the extra

182
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 1: work in that I'm confident that if I go right here,

183
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 1: I can make that play. And I think that's what Uh,

184
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 1: that's what you know bent high kb ooh. Uh, you

185
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 1: know so many guys up front, LG, DG, Carl, I

186
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 1: think that's what that's what they see. They've seen, they've

187
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:45,319
Speaker 1: seen the plays before. And then you know, sometimes it's

188
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,680
Speaker 1: just in the moment it's hard to explain. You'd be

189
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,079
Speaker 1: like how you make that play or how you know

190
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 1: it's coming, and it's it's just hard to explain, like

191
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: while I just seen it before, but you know you don't.

192
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,319
Speaker 1: You didn't see it in a dreamer. You didn't see

193
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 1: it like you know daydreamers something. You've seen it because

194
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 1: you put the time in, you put the work in,

195
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,680
Speaker 1: and you study f them. And so I think that's

196
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 1: how you become a great player playing on the other

197
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 1: line of screens are you are you guys competitive one

198
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 1: another and you know getting to that spot, getting that

199
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,959
Speaker 1: spot first. Obviously the circumstances that you know will come

200
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:20,839
Speaker 1: up in the game which don't allow for you to

201
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 1: get there first, but you competitive by getting there first.

202
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 1: I mean the more, the more plays you make, the

203
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: more pictures you get. You know, it's it's tipe of

204
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 1: that thing. You know. The more the more out of

205
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,960
Speaker 1: boys are good jobs you get. And so I think, uh,

206
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 1: that feeds you're on dolphins. And also who don't want

207
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 1: to be that person to make that play or who

208
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 1: don't want to who don't want to be that person?

209
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,559
Speaker 1: And you know that you get asks to do. This

210
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: is because you're making plays, you know. So yeah, yeah,

211
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: we all competitive, but we competitive where we understand that,

212
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: you know, if one doing well, were all doing well.

213
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:02,959
Speaker 1: We're not. We're not selfish at all. So competitive is

214
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 1: a great word, but you know we we love to

215
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 1: see one another make plays as well. Thanks Matt, Yeah,
