1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,800
Speaker 1: Hey, DeMarcus, how you doing doing good? How you doing

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: I'm doing well.

3
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:04,120
Speaker 2: Thanks.

4
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:07,800
Speaker 1: You know, statistically, pretty much across the board, you guys

5
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 1: have the number one run defense in the NFL. How

6
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 1: much pride do you take in that as a defensive

7
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:16,760
Speaker 1: line coach and what do you think have been some

8
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:19,440
Speaker 1: of the keys to your success in that area.

9
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 3: I would say, I'll give all credit to the guys,

10
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 3: but that's something we talk about at the very beginning

11
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:25,320
Speaker 3: of the year.

12
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 2: Some of our goals is to you know.

13
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 3: Absolutely have a good defensive line as a unit, to

14
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 3: be able to stop the run and rush the passer.

15
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 3: And so for us, we always took it as if

16
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:36,839
Speaker 3: we can keep our opponent, you know, up under one

17
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 3: hundred yards every game, you know, we're doing really well.

18
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:41,159
Speaker 2: So that's what we try to do.

19
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,159
Speaker 3: Those guys do a good job of preparing through the

20
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 3: week with good awareness, and it all starts with We'll

21
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:52,520
Speaker 3: always talk about no good play happens without good fundamentals

22
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 3: and technique. So those guys playing with good fundamentals, good techniques,

23
00:00:56,520 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 3: good awareness, and that leads to, you know, a success

24
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 3: rate for us.

25
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 1: And I know he's you know more in the linebacker room,

26
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,680
Speaker 1: but obviously is an on the line guy. With Anthony Jennings,

27
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: I was just curious, you know, what you see from

28
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 1: him and what you feel like his you know, development

29
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: has allowed him, for his development to play some pretty

30
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:18,319
Speaker 1: good ball for you guys.

31
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, so you know with him being in the d

32
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:24,040
Speaker 3: Lion room, all those dudes, you know, being able to

33
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 3: play OLB defensive end, and just his ability to take

34
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 3: advantage of opportunities. And every year he's played for us,

35
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 3: he's done a hell of a job or just you know,

36
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 3: answering the bell every week, get better.

37
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 2: He's a guy better every week. I mean, he does

38
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 2: a really good job.

39
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 3: And he's a part of reason why you know, our

Speaker 3: You know, whatever, whatever we ask him to do, he

00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 3: leader up front for setting the edge and you know,

50

Speaker 2: Got it?

64
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 1: And is that like pretty common for guys that play

Speaker 1: like his position across the board or is it kind

66
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:49,320

Speaker 1: did it?

71
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 2: And next question, Bob sa see Thanksteff.

72
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 4: Ade Marcus just to follow up on that drive and

73
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 4: mentioned that Anthrony used to play off the ball primarily.

74
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 4: So did he move physically from linebacker's room into your room?

75
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 2: Yeah?

76
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 3: Well, I would just say again, when you look at

77
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 3: and when we looked at ANTHRONI coming out, you know,

78
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 3: that's the guy that you know, did a lot of

79
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 3: good things at Alabama, you know, whether it was playing

80
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 3: off the ball, on the ball a buck, you know,

81
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,679
Speaker 3: he did a good amount of things for them, And

82
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 3: that's kind of how it really, that's how we use

83
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 3: him here, you know, within our defense where he can

84
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 3: do a good amount of things with his athletic ability.

85
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 3: And then so for us, you know, we just try

86
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 3: to plug into players best that fits our scheme and

87
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 3: whoever we're playing and use them to the best of

88
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 3: our ability and their ability and then make it fit

89
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 3: you know, our puzzle, which he's done a great job

90
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 3: in carving out a role for himself. And again, like

91
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 3: you see his performance, his preparation, his work, you know,

92
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 3: his day to day you know operation, his routine. You see,

93
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 3: you'll be able to see the seas that he's sold

94
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,719
Speaker 3: for three years for us or out there on Sundays

95
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 3: or whatever day we play, you're able to see that,

96
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 3: you know, and I'm glad he's able to you know, uh.

97
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:22,559
Speaker 2: See the fruit.

98
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 4: How about your your interior in Devon Godshaw in particular,

99
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 4: what's made him such a good fit for you at

100
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 4: that position? What do you look for on the nose

101
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 4: on the ball to begin with. And why has he

102
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 4: excelled the way he has this year in.

103
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 3: Particular, Well, again, like a nose tackle in general, a

104
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 3: lot of people they don't really get that much recognition

105
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,599
Speaker 3: only from their coaches, only from you know, the wives

106
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,919
Speaker 3: or girlfriends or the family members. They get the recognition

107
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 3: from them. But in our eye, I mean, he's a

108
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 3: big part of our success because of the way he's

109
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 3: able to control the line of scrimmage. And I would

110
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:11,679
Speaker 3: say from day one when Devon stepped in the building,

111
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 3: he's been a true profession So you know, he's always prepared,

112
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 3: always ready, He's always in tune on you know, the

113
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 3: game plan, always in tune on the opponent's you know,

114
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 3: scheme and so, which allows him to play fast and

115
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 3: play with good technique. And he's a he's a man

116
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 3: of a technician who you know, go He's always working

117
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 3: on something in practice. There's never a moment where he's

118
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 3: just sitting there or standing there. He's always trying to

119
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 3: get better at something. And for him, you know, I

120
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 3: mean you can look, you can go back to every

121
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,279
Speaker 3: year he's been here, I would say, you've had a

122
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 3: great year for us.

123
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,280
Speaker 2: Thanks to Marcus yep
