WEBVTT - Steve Wilks Evaluates the Team’s Performance in Week 16 | Press Pass

0:00:00.000 --> 0:00:03.600
<v Speaker 1>Fotball team who was well deserving and winning that football game.

0:00:04.000 --> 0:00:06.560
<v Speaker 1>I felt like we did some good things in that game,

0:00:07.440 --> 0:00:08.960
<v Speaker 1>but we didn't finish in the matter in which we

0:00:08.960 --> 0:00:12.319
<v Speaker 1>should have on the defensive side of the ball, which is,

0:00:12.440 --> 0:00:14.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, finding way to take the ball away and

0:00:14.480 --> 0:00:17.239
<v Speaker 1>give our offensive chance. I thought we played hard, I

0:00:17.239 --> 0:00:19.440
<v Speaker 1>thought we were competitive. I thought we had a good

0:00:19.480 --> 0:00:22.480
<v Speaker 1>game plan. But we need to find a way to

0:00:22.520 --> 0:00:25.920
<v Speaker 1>finish and make some more plays. The great thing about

0:00:25.960 --> 0:00:28.280
<v Speaker 1>this league here, you don't have time to sit around

0:00:28.480 --> 0:00:33.120
<v Speaker 1>and feel sorry for yourself. It's a constant, ever evolving

0:00:33.800 --> 0:00:38.280
<v Speaker 1>week getting ready for the next opponent in Washington is

0:00:38.320 --> 0:00:41.360
<v Speaker 1>a real good football team, all right. We got the

0:00:41.400 --> 0:00:43.320
<v Speaker 1>word that Jacoby Brissett.

0:00:43.040 --> 0:00:43.800
<v Speaker 2>Is going to start.

0:00:44.479 --> 0:00:47.559
<v Speaker 1>He is a proven veteran in this league that has

0:00:47.560 --> 0:00:50.680
<v Speaker 1>shown that he can win football games at every place

0:00:50.720 --> 0:00:51.320
<v Speaker 1>that he's been.

0:00:52.000 --> 0:00:53.440
<v Speaker 2>They have a solid run game.

0:00:54.400 --> 0:00:56.720
<v Speaker 1>I think Robinson is probably going to be back this week,

0:00:57.480 --> 0:01:02.280
<v Speaker 1>and McLaren and you know Curtis Samuel's are are pretty

0:01:02.280 --> 0:01:05.120
<v Speaker 1>good receivers and that they can make things happen at

0:01:05.120 --> 0:01:09.440
<v Speaker 1>any time. So in no buy, no way, by the

0:01:09.640 --> 0:01:11.760
<v Speaker 1>stretch of imagination that this gonna be a easy game

0:01:11.800 --> 0:01:14.200
<v Speaker 1>for us, you know, so uh, we gotta you know,

0:01:14.280 --> 0:01:16.479
<v Speaker 1>show up and play well and be ready to execute.

0:01:16.560 --> 0:01:20.160
<v Speaker 2>And with that, I take your questions, how do you

0:01:20.200 --> 0:01:22.479
<v Speaker 2>feel just about the secondary right now? Because it seems

0:01:22.480 --> 0:01:25.240
<v Speaker 2>like there's some movie parts that could be based on injuries,

0:01:25.240 --> 0:01:26.720
<v Speaker 2>whether the Jay or Ambry.

0:01:27.240 --> 0:01:30.800
<v Speaker 1>Well, I feel real good in regards to the guys

0:01:30.840 --> 0:01:33.160
<v Speaker 1>that we have all the way down to Lootter. You know,

0:01:33.240 --> 0:01:35.160
<v Speaker 1>if he has to come in and play, uh, he

0:01:35.200 --> 0:01:38.479
<v Speaker 1>has definitely shown and I've gotten a lot of trust from.

0:01:38.440 --> 0:01:40.760
<v Speaker 2>Me that he can go in and execute.

0:01:41.080 --> 0:01:43.319
<v Speaker 1>Uh. So is that time of the year that we're

0:01:43.319 --> 0:01:47.080
<v Speaker 1>dealing with, uh, everything that all other thirty one teams

0:01:47.160 --> 0:01:50.120
<v Speaker 1>are dealing with with your injury, so we can't find

0:01:50.160 --> 0:01:51.680
<v Speaker 1>any excuses in regards to that.

0:01:51.720 --> 0:01:55.160
<v Speaker 2>We gotta show up and play. Looter. That established that

0:01:55.240 --> 0:01:57.760
<v Speaker 2>trust that you He hasn't played a lot in games,

0:01:57.800 --> 0:02:00.200
<v Speaker 2>I mean, is it is it the practices that he's uh?

0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:02.760
<v Speaker 1>I I think his is how he practices. I think

0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:05.480
<v Speaker 1>is how he cares himself. He's a he's a professional.

0:02:05.560 --> 0:02:08.000
<v Speaker 1>He is definitely a guy that's a little bit more

0:02:08.040 --> 0:02:10.520
<v Speaker 1>mature to be a rookie. And how he goes about

0:02:10.520 --> 0:02:12.640
<v Speaker 1>his day to day operation. Even when he was hurt,

0:02:12.639 --> 0:02:14.800
<v Speaker 1>he was constantly here getting treatment.

0:02:14.919 --> 0:02:16.480
<v Speaker 2>He stayed in there with uh.

0:02:16.720 --> 0:02:19.560
<v Speaker 1>You know, Daniel Bullet, the dB coach, trying to get

0:02:19.600 --> 0:02:22.360
<v Speaker 1>better and uh you've seen this development and growth.

0:02:22.919 --> 0:02:23.079
<v Speaker 2>Uh.

0:02:23.120 --> 0:02:25.000
<v Speaker 1>And with that when he's out on the field, that's

0:02:25.000 --> 0:02:27.919
<v Speaker 1>where that trust comes in with me talk a lot about.

0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:30.080
<v Speaker 2>His maturity since he was drafted on the field.

0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:32.280
<v Speaker 1>How how do you see that that's different maybe from

0:02:32.320 --> 0:02:35.040
<v Speaker 1>other lookies. Uh, Well, number one, I don't think he

0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:38.360
<v Speaker 1>gets rattled at all. You know, something good happens, you

0:02:38.400 --> 0:02:41.680
<v Speaker 1>know it is on to the next play. Likewise something bad. Uh.

0:02:41.760 --> 0:02:44.400
<v Speaker 1>And that's the sign of a guy that has maturity

0:02:44.440 --> 0:02:45.720
<v Speaker 1>to understand that position.

0:02:46.040 --> 0:02:47.400
<v Speaker 2>He doesn't get down on himself.

0:02:47.480 --> 0:02:50.959
<v Speaker 1>And you know, going back to the play against Seat

0:02:51.040 --> 0:02:53.760
<v Speaker 1>on special teams, you know, just that effort to be

0:02:53.840 --> 0:02:55.960
<v Speaker 1>able to save that touchdown to give us the opportunity

0:02:55.960 --> 0:02:58.920
<v Speaker 1>to hold those guys to a field goal. Uh. Those

0:02:59.040 --> 0:03:01.160
<v Speaker 1>kind of plays and those things that he he puts

0:03:01.200 --> 0:03:05.960
<v Speaker 1>on tape is how I uh he equate that trust.

0:03:07.200 --> 0:03:10.120
<v Speaker 2>Assimilated to the system. You want me to give him

0:03:10.120 --> 0:03:11.239
<v Speaker 2>credit for that question? To you?

0:03:12.040 --> 0:03:16.200
<v Speaker 1>All right, Uh, Logan has done a great job. You know,

0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:18.919
<v Speaker 1>I was excited when we got him. I knew at

0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:20.560
<v Speaker 1>some point in time that he was gonna do a

0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:24.079
<v Speaker 1>great job and stepping in for us, uh, his leadership there.

0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:26.440
<v Speaker 1>And I talked to Fred about this coming off the

0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:28.760
<v Speaker 1>field yesterday and it's like, you know, did you did

0:03:28.800 --> 0:03:30.200
<v Speaker 1>you feel and see a logan?

0:03:30.280 --> 0:03:31.600
<v Speaker 2>He's like, yeah, man, he talks.

0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:34.600
<v Speaker 1>And that's the great sign of a safety, you know,

0:03:34.680 --> 0:03:38.280
<v Speaker 1>his ability to communicate, Uh, particularly when you got a

0:03:38.320 --> 0:03:40.160
<v Speaker 1>new guy in there and he's stepping up and doing

0:03:40.200 --> 0:03:43.440
<v Speaker 1>those things. So uh, I like his presence. He has

0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:45.200
<v Speaker 1>skin on the wall, as I call it. He's been

0:03:45.240 --> 0:03:47.480
<v Speaker 1>around the league for a while, uh, playing in a

0:03:47.520 --> 0:03:50.040
<v Speaker 1>couple of Super Bowls, so he understands the magnitude of

0:03:50.040 --> 0:03:51.360
<v Speaker 1>where we are at this time of the year.

0:03:55.240 --> 0:03:55.560
<v Speaker 2>Uh.

0:03:55.600 --> 0:03:57.720
<v Speaker 1>You know, Chris does a tremendous job him in tap

0:03:57.920 --> 0:04:00.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, for us meeting with uh, those new guys

0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:02.560
<v Speaker 1>that we have in and you know, they took him

0:04:02.600 --> 0:04:04.840
<v Speaker 1>out there early, took him to the side and start

0:04:04.920 --> 0:04:08.160
<v Speaker 1>really trying to change up. You know, his stances get off.

0:04:08.200 --> 0:04:10.400
<v Speaker 1>He's been more of a two gap guy his whole career.

0:04:10.840 --> 0:04:12.920
<v Speaker 1>And of course you all know that our mindset's a

0:04:12.960 --> 0:04:15.320
<v Speaker 1>little different we come off the ball here. So Uh,

0:04:15.360 --> 0:04:17.839
<v Speaker 1>I like his explosion and how he comes off. He

0:04:18.080 --> 0:04:20.880
<v Speaker 1>he plays with valient hands. So I'm excited to have

0:04:21.000 --> 0:04:22.800
<v Speaker 1>him and looking forward to seeing what he can do

0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:23.360
<v Speaker 1>for us.

0:04:23.800 --> 0:04:26.600
<v Speaker 2>If you went with Verrett over uh willmat this week?

0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:28.960
<v Speaker 2>What went into that decision? What do you wanna see

0:04:29.000 --> 0:04:30.840
<v Speaker 2>from Samuel Walmart? Uh?

0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:34.640
<v Speaker 1>Consistency, you know, Uh, with all our guys, and you know,

0:04:34.760 --> 0:04:37.640
<v Speaker 1>a a a lot too goes into you know, special teams,

0:04:37.760 --> 0:04:40.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, and in regards to him, uh being up

0:04:40.760 --> 0:04:43.200
<v Speaker 1>and not being up, and we wanted to give barretta

0:04:43.279 --> 0:04:45.280
<v Speaker 1>opportunity and a chance to be able to get his

0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:47.039
<v Speaker 1>feet wet, try to get back into the floor of

0:04:47.080 --> 0:04:49.880
<v Speaker 1>things and seeing if you know, you know, he can

0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:51.360
<v Speaker 1>be one of those guys that I think that can

0:04:51.400 --> 0:04:53.840
<v Speaker 1>help us down the stretch here, Uh as we progress

0:04:53.880 --> 0:04:54.640
<v Speaker 1>towards the playoffs.

0:04:55.040 --> 0:04:58.400
<v Speaker 2>Totally against that touchdown in Manzella. Otherwise, what did you

0:04:58.440 --> 0:04:59.080
<v Speaker 2>see from him.

0:04:59.000 --> 0:04:59.400
<v Speaker 1>On the field?

0:04:59.640 --> 0:04:59.760
<v Speaker 2>Uh?

0:04:59.800 --> 0:05:02.960
<v Speaker 1>I I thought, you know, he worked within the defense.

0:05:03.040 --> 0:05:06.240
<v Speaker 1>I thought his technique was good on that one particular play.

0:05:06.360 --> 0:05:08.640
<v Speaker 1>I I felt like, you know, we teach chess to chess,

0:05:08.680 --> 0:05:10.279
<v Speaker 1>you know, particularly when you get in the end zone.

0:05:10.320 --> 0:05:11.720
<v Speaker 2>You can't turn away from the receiver.

0:05:12.240 --> 0:05:13.800
<v Speaker 1>Uh, and that's what he did and he lost 'em,

0:05:13.800 --> 0:05:15.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, in that split second when the ball was

0:05:15.720 --> 0:05:22.719
<v Speaker 1>being thrown. So uh, definitely something that's correctable and coachable whatever.

0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:24.920
<v Speaker 2>But is do you view Forett mainly as a diggle

0:05:25.000 --> 0:05:26.160
<v Speaker 2>right now? Is that where you're gonna use to get

0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:28.119
<v Speaker 2>mostly in practice? Uh? Right now? Yes.

0:05:28.360 --> 0:05:30.520
<v Speaker 1>Just for the matter of fact, again, I feel very

0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:33.640
<v Speaker 1>confident in Looter. And then you know, you mentioned Sammy

0:05:33.680 --> 0:05:36.640
<v Speaker 1>as well, so I feel like we have uh, some

0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:38.720
<v Speaker 1>some players out there that we can stack a little bit.

0:05:38.760 --> 0:05:41.360
<v Speaker 1>To me, it's always that that ability if something happens

0:05:41.440 --> 0:05:45.920
<v Speaker 1>with Demo and then Oliver, who's that third guy playing Samian.

0:05:45.600 --> 0:05:48.839
<v Speaker 2>To speak just at day having on Sunday, Uh, it varies,

0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:49.159
<v Speaker 2>you know.

0:05:49.240 --> 0:05:51.440
<v Speaker 1>It's something that uh we're talking about as as a

0:05:51.520 --> 0:05:54.600
<v Speaker 1>defensive staff most important, something that I communicating converse with

0:05:54.600 --> 0:05:57.279
<v Speaker 1>with Kyle can planning to get.

0:05:57.120 --> 0:05:59.360
<v Speaker 2>The Fowls who played safety at t at Arizona.

0:05:59.400 --> 0:06:03.359
<v Speaker 1>Could he be in your emergency safety in a situation

0:06:03.440 --> 0:06:04.480
<v Speaker 1>if you need need.

0:06:04.360 --> 0:06:05.360
<v Speaker 2>A body on game? Uh?

0:06:05.360 --> 0:06:07.960
<v Speaker 1>I think Oliver is that guy, you know. Uh, I

0:06:08.080 --> 0:06:10.680
<v Speaker 1>like flying closer to the line of scrimmage. I think

0:06:10.680 --> 0:06:13.880
<v Speaker 1>it's more effective there. But you know, I think you know,

0:06:13.960 --> 0:06:17.400
<v Speaker 1>as we try to you know, think ahead and you know,

0:06:17.440 --> 0:06:20.039
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if you guys seen that practice, but

0:06:20.120 --> 0:06:22.040
<v Speaker 1>Oliver has been really taking a lot of reps at

0:06:22.080 --> 0:06:24.480
<v Speaker 1>safety the last couple of weeks, so you know, that's

0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:26.680
<v Speaker 1>that would be our next step if something where to

0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:27.200
<v Speaker 1>happen there.

0:06:28.160 --> 0:06:30.800
<v Speaker 2>Wow, I'm back to Ryan for a second.

0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:33.880
<v Speaker 1>I you don't often see thirty two year old guys

0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:36.080
<v Speaker 1>lining up and the outside going down and cover and kicks.

0:06:36.160 --> 0:06:37.560
<v Speaker 2>What does that say about him to you?

0:06:38.160 --> 0:06:43.160
<v Speaker 1>Uh? Team player? Uh, committed and then also understanding it.

0:06:43.320 --> 0:06:44.560
<v Speaker 1>It's the standard here.

0:06:44.800 --> 0:06:45.000
<v Speaker 2>You know.

0:06:45.279 --> 0:06:47.400
<v Speaker 1>Well I was talking about many parts one body at work.

0:06:47.480 --> 0:06:51.800
<v Speaker 1>It nobody's bigger than the actual calls. So Uh, guys

0:06:51.839 --> 0:06:53.680
<v Speaker 1>come in and they adapt to how we do things,

0:06:53.720 --> 0:06:56.240
<v Speaker 1>and that's what he's done. So Uh again, I like

0:06:56.320 --> 0:06:58.640
<v Speaker 1>him a lot, Uh as a player in and as

0:06:58.640 --> 0:07:02.240
<v Speaker 1>a person pre church. You guys, thanks, you heard of that.

0:07:02.400 --> 0:07:03.080
<v Speaker 2>Hope you enjoy it.
