1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:05,120
Speaker 1: How how frustrating was that performance late in the game

2
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:10,400
Speaker 1: from that defense. I mean, again, you know, I'm focused

3
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 1: right now really on Atlanta, you know, in third down today,

4
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:16,960
Speaker 1: but just to speak on it, just in terms of frustration,

5
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 1: I'm frustrating with myself more than anything. So like obviously

6
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 1: I gotta do a better job, you know, in those

7
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 1: situations the two men and stuff like that. But like

8
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 1: we you know, we gotta do a better job there.

9
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:29,319
Speaker 1: But thankfully, you know, Joe was giving us a bunch

10
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 1: of opportunities this week to work on it. I mean,

11
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 1: like he has every week, and hopefully we execute a

12
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 1: better starting with practice. That's the only that's the only

13
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:38,879
Speaker 1: way I know how to attack it. Start start with practice,

14
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:41,560
Speaker 1: you know, start with the meeting, and start with the preparation,

15
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,560
Speaker 1: and attack it, you know, full on and look to

16
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 1: get better at it. That's that's how I've worked a

17
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 1: whole career. So you know, thankfully, thankfully we have another

18
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 1: opportunity hopefully, so that'll be good. Joe. Joe said that

19
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 1: he was gonna sit with you on the train ride

20
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 1: home and sort of go over what happened, what what

21
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,040
Speaker 1: conclusions did you come to, and what changes need to

22
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 1: be made. You gotta talk to Joe about the specifics

23
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:06,400
Speaker 1: and stuff. But like in terms of as we move forward,

24
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 1: obviously it's about execution, you know, whether it's you know,

25
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:14,279
Speaker 1: the right call for me as a coordinator, um playing

26
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 1: the right whatever however we're supposed to play the call

27
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: wherever it's supposed to be. But again, I mean, what

28
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 1: I could tell you is this, and it's just this

29
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,119
Speaker 1: is all I know is to go out there and practice,

30
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 1: go through the means. We learn from the tape, and

31
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 1: thankfully we got a whole bunch more opportunities and I'm

32
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: looking forward to those and we got to do better.

33
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: I mean, I gotta do better. I gotta do a

34
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 1: better job. And you know that's why, that's why, that's

35
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 1: why I love this challenge, this job. Every day is

36
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 1: every week is different, every day is different. So you

37
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:43,960
Speaker 1: gotta do a lot better, That's all. That's all I know.

38
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 1: Regardless of what call you send in especially in the

39
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 1: two minute situations, if your pass rush doesn't get to

40
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: the quarterback, isn't that kind of an X factor? And

41
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: whether the coverage looks good or not. I mean, the

42
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: thing for me, and again, just thinking about Atlantis, got

43
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan back there, who's arguably one of the best

44
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 1: quarterbacks since I've been the league. Right, Undust corback was

45
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 1: an m v P, went to the Super Bowl, been

46
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: the championship games. Whatever. The thing how you affect the

47
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: quarterback is you're looking whether it's the pass rush, the

48
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: combination of the the pass rush, from the coverage. I mean,

49
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 1: it doesn't necessarily to get to the quarterback. Is how

50
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,639
Speaker 1: you disrupt. It could be the passing lings, it could

51
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: be the disguise and dropping guys out. Like so it

52
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 1: all plays together in my mind. So like I I

53
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: can't place blame on any any one thing. I mean,

54
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: the main person I'm gonna blame is myself. I gotta

55
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 1: do a better job. So like whatever, I mean, it

56
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: comes down to that. Like again, these guys they work

57
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:39,799
Speaker 1: their butts off out there on the field. They work

58
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: hard out there in the stadium for us. So the

59
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: key is to get me to get it right first, Okay,

60
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 1: get a coach right, get them in the right spots.

61
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 1: That's my job. So that like to me, I'm not

62
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: gonna talk about the past rest, I'm not gonna talk

63
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: about the coverage. It starts with me. That's that that's

64
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 1: how I see it, and that's never gonna change. That's

65
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: never gonna change. So, I mean, that's how I see it,

66
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: That's how I talked to him, and that's my job.

67
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: That's why I get paid to due. So that's what

68
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 1: we're gonna work on. Players, whoever it is. Are you,

69
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 1: whether it's you or the players or whoever, are you

70
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: surprised that it's not all working as well as it

71
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: did last year? So the defense was such a straight

72
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: last year and it's obviously not up to the same

73
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 1: caliber of the first two weeks. Well, thankfully again we

74
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 1: got another we got another opportunity this week. So I mean,

75
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 1: like you at a seventeen games and you want to

76
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 1: use two games, that's fine. I mean, I mean I

77
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: still think if you do the math, you still got

78
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,359
Speaker 1: a chance to be okay, right A seventeen you had to.

79
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: But like for me, I'm just looking at it is this.

80
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: I really can't talk about last week. I mean I could,

81
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna choose not to keep going down this

82
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: road because I'm so focused on today and I know

83
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: this today is early down situations. Get back on track,

84
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: P and ten whatever it is. Third down emphasis which

85
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: we gotta take care of, you know, Ridley, we gotta

86
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: take care of piss, we gotta take care of the

87
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: quarterback and even the run game to get into with

88
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: Coral Patterson. That's where my focus is, and I mean

89
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 1: thankful again. The good thing about my job is this,

90
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: you get another test the next week, and that's that's

91
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: that's the best part about it. So whether you know

92
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: I failed the test last week, I get another chance

93
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: and get another crack at it. So I'm looking forward

94
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: to it. Say about how James Bradberry has played. James

95
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,479
Speaker 1: is playing as a high level man, at a high level.

96
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: His vision, he's seen the game, the questions he has,

97
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 1: you know, just having conversations with him in the hallway.

98
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: I really I love James is cool demeanor. You guys

99
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 1: get a chance to meet him, it's cool demeanor. And

100
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: now that you know, there's more of a relationship developing,

101
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,599
Speaker 1: you know more, now there's more conversations and all that

102
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 1: stuff like that. I really think he's playing at high level.

103
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 1: I'm really proud of what he's done. Um and I

104
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: know he wants more. He wants more, so that's that's

105
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 1: always good when your best players want more. And that

106
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 1: you know they're not you know they they they're not.

107
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 1: They're not afraid to get coached. Um, they're working hard

108
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: out there on the field. That it's it's a beautiful things.

109
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:57,159
Speaker 1: We got a good group of guys, man, a good

110
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: group of guys. It's my job deployment the right spot.

111
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: Times that he's been getting targeted as much as he has. Again,

112
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 1: these numbers that you're working off of. Its fine, but

113
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: like it's two games, I can't. I mean again, I'm

114
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 1: not a math person or mathematician or anything, but like

115
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 1: I'm I'm gonna get it a little bit more time.

116
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, I hope they target JB. Feel

117
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:20,239
Speaker 1: free zone. Last week we went into your thought process

118
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 1: of zone coverage because I mean, at the heart of him,

119
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:24,599
Speaker 1: I played his zone coverage. I mean, most of the

120
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 1: downs are early down. So you got what, what was it,

121
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,480
Speaker 1: seventy two plays last week? Seventy two plays, So you

122
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 1: got how many of them are early down? We play

123
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: zone on early down a lot. So like his zone coverage,

124
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 1: you play his own vision break on the ball. I

125
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: mean that's why you play zone. Um, some of it Again,

126
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 1: it's calculate what you decide to do based on what

127
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 1: the offense is doing. But again, whether we play zone

128
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: this game, the next game we play man, is all

129
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,159
Speaker 1: based on what we think is gonna be best for

130
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 1: the game plan. And again, sometimes it works out, sometimes

131
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: it doesn't. But as we move towards Atlanta and the

132
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,159
Speaker 1: people that we're dealing with their you know, I talked

133
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 1: about the receiver, talked about the tight end, uh talked

134
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,279
Speaker 1: about the back and in the quarterback. But you know,

135
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: the offensive line is playing well. You know, they got

136
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 1: some new pieces of the game. Some of the young

137
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 1: guys are getting more experienced. They've got some veterans out there.

138
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:12,479
Speaker 1: You know, it's gonna be a challenge, it's gonna be challenging.

139
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 1: They got challenges. Scheme coach. He does a good job

140
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: of working that stretch run game in there off and

141
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 1: then the play actions off of it. So you know,

142
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: we got we got our handsful this week with Atlanta.

143
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,280
Speaker 1: That's the that's the main thing for me. So we're

144
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 1: gonna see what's best for this game zone man. Whatever

145
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: it may be, pressure not pressure, but again it's a

146
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 1: calculated risk in terms of calculated decisions, in terms of

147
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 1: what we think is best. Then we'll rock and roll

148
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 1: from there. Disease and what his role would be. And

149
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 1: you said, when we get to week one, let's see

150
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:46,720
Speaker 1: when he hits the ground. What have you seen from

151
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 1: him in the first two weeks, And I've seen a

152
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,479
Speaker 1: young player who has made a few plays and you

153
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,280
Speaker 1: know he wants more. The thing that's encouraging with me

154

Speaker 1: ability to play in the run. He's playing stout in

156
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 1: the run. You know, because you think about a young

Speaker 1: edge player, they're thinking about, Okay, I get sacks. Everybody

160
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 1: whether it was the challenge of last week, dealing with

161
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: those tackles and those tight ends from Washington or Denver,

162
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 1: then you go into this week now you're dealing with

163

Speaker 1: again big bodies out there. You know, it's it's a

164
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 1: challenge for him and I'm excited to see how it

165
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 1: plays out. But he's been doing a good job. He's

166
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 1: been working hard, being uh and he knows he has

167
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: to do better. But we all do. We all its

168
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: earlier in the season. You mentioned times that that you

169
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: need to do a better job. You mentioned that like

170
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 1: five times. Here's probably ten times when I go back

171
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 1: in the other But you put your putting this on yourself.

172
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: So what in particular do you need to do a

173
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 1: better job. I need to do a better job of coaching.

174
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: That's I mean, y'all, I worried about me fathering or

175
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 1: being a husband. I got for you guys and the

176
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 1: people listening. I got to do a better job of coaching.

177
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 1: What's Look what I've said from jump as a teacher,

178
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 1: I gotta do a better job teaching. I do a

179
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 1: better job teaching coaching. And that's and put him in

180
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 1: the right spot. I mean, I think clearly. I mean

181
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 1: that's my job. That's my job. So I got do

182
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 1: a better job. That's it. What makes pits are unique challenge. Uh.

183
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 1: He's big, he's fast. Uh, he could catch the ball.

184
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 1: And then if you go back in, because it's only

185
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 1: two games, sample size and some of the preseason, and

186
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 1: if you go back and watch his college tape, becomes

187
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 1: really scary because all those corners that get drafted in

188
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 1: the first round, that's what those guys that are covering them.

189
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 1: You know from uh, you know, all those teams in

190
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 1: that SEC had guys covering. Mean, he's pretty dynamic players. Speed.

191
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 1: The combination of speed and size and catch radius and

192
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,839
Speaker 1: all those catchy terms like that makes him a dangerous player.

193
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 1: And it's willingness the block, I mean it's not I mean,

194
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 1: he'll he'll, he'll he'll be the point attack in the

195
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 1: run game, which is a bonus for him. Bonus. When

196
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:54,079
Speaker 1: we talk about anything, we're speaking about the degrees. It's

197
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: like it's it's great or it's not great. And we

198
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 1: never see a middle round with your defense. I mean,

199
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 1: are you close or is it one extreme of the other.

200
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,719
Speaker 1: I mean, if I had to define it to you,

201
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 1: like and those guys in the room could, we'll probably

202
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: tell you the same thing. We don't win. It's not

203
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 1: good enough. I mean, I don't care what the score is,

204
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: like that's just how we're built. Like, and you know,

205
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: we got a group of selfless guys that want to win.

206
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 1: Nobody cares about the stats, nobody cares about what the

207
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 1: connext contract is. We just know, for the guys in

208
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 1: that room and the camaraderie, were building that building over

209
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 1: there and now here on this field, we want to

210
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 1: win for each other. That's how I feel, that's how

211
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 1: they feel, that's how we talk about it. So if

212
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 1: we don't win, I mean I highly doubt anybody feels good.

213
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,719
Speaker 1: I don't. So that's what we're working towards today. I mean,

214
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 1: that's what we got. The focus is on today, third down,

215
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,719
Speaker 1: finishing up, early down, it's good, jump starting on ready area.

216
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 1: The focus is on today to put our best out

217
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: there on that field on Sunday at one o'clock and

218
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 1: give us a chance to win. And that starts with me.

219
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 1: Put them in the right spots, us executing on the

220
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,679
Speaker 1: practice field, and then it out there and see what

221
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:01,559
Speaker 1: we could do on Sunday
