1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:08,520
Speaker 1: Player almost.

2
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:09,160
Speaker 2: Right if you just comment obviously Tice and being placed on.

3
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 3: Ir what that not only.

4
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:13,600
Speaker 2: Does for your defense, but also opportunities that creates for

5
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 2: some other player.

6
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:16,319
Speaker 4: Sure hate it for him first, like he was playing

7
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:18,800
Speaker 4: at an elite level, really high. Can't wait to get

8
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:21,120
Speaker 4: him back, and we will when he's when he'll come

9
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 4: back and be fine. It's just next man up mentality.

10
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 4: It's part of the game. One of the things is,

11
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 4: you know, we we've talked about no depth chart, things

12
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 4: like that, and so the guys behind him have had

13
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 4: plenty of reps, plenty of opportunity to go out and

14
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 4: play against good, good quality opponents and show what they

15
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:38,879
Speaker 4: can do. And so we're very confident the next guy

16
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 4: up out there will do a good job.

17
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:42,879
Speaker 3: What did you see Foster on Sunday?

18
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:48,239
Speaker 4: What did you see technique, fundamentals, extra effort where they

19
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:51,199
Speaker 4: were supposed to be excited about both those two players

20
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 4: young players that did a pretty good job in the game.

21
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 4: And so now let's take the next step.

22
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 2: For you know, what do you look at for really

23
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:06,039
Speaker 2: more and for do you see the biggest improvement for

24
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 2: guys and where do you think they may take the biggest.

25
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 4: Step young players especially, you know, some guys who played

26
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 4: in their first NFL football game against a really good team,

27
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 4: really good opponent, and so some of the guys had

28
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 4: some success and now they're you know, they're they're building

29
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 4: on that and they know, you know, it's hey, I

30
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,839
Speaker 4: can play this game at this level. So that's confidence

31
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 4: is a huge thing. I think that goes a lot

32
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 4: with that. And then some of the guys that, hey,

33
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 4: maybe need to do a little bit better, you know,

34
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 4: maybe a little bit frustrated or disappointing their performance, and

35
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:39,680
Speaker 4: so they're really focused on this week and taking one

36
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 4: day at a time to to not let that happen again.

37
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 4: So look for a big step from our defense just

38
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 4: from from one week to the next. It is, like

39
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 4: you said, it's a huge most teams first week the

40
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 4: second week make that big jump. We're looking forward to

41
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 4: the same thing.

42
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 3: I'm press for you with your live backers, you know,

43
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 3: Koya and Deviget most of but also the rotation guys

44
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 3: coming in.

45
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 4: Sure, the whole group as a group, we thought we

46
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 4: did they did a good job, really good job. The

47
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 4: communication was really good. Matt did a good job in

48
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 4: terms of what their offense did and gave him some

49
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 4: good tips, uh Foyer, Devin flew around physical tackles. But

50
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 4: then there wasn't a drop off when the next guy

51
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 4: came in and you saw that it was really good.

52
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 4: You know, we played down there and played those guys

53
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 4: came in, flew around Chad, you saw ventrol in the box,

54
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 4: and so they did a good job. They've earned some

55
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 4: reps and so we'll continue that throughout the season. Right,

56
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:34,959
Speaker 4: it seems like a lot of guys in the locker

57
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:36,639
Speaker 4: road took pride in the run defense.

58
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 5: Just what kind of start was that really for that

59
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 5: unit against the run?

60
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, that's that's what we want to be about,

61
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,640
Speaker 4: you know, and run in in the past, you know,

62
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 4: pound the line of scrimmage eliminated explosive plays in pass

63
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 4: and run. But it was a good start, like we

64
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 4: can build off of that, you know, and kind of

65
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,679
Speaker 4: our expectations. So you know, we shouldn't have been surprised

66
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 4: that that happened, you know what I mean. And that's

67
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,079
Speaker 4: kind of where the talk to the guys, they don't

68
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 4: be surprised this it's how we practice, is how our fundamounts,

69
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 4: how we're locked in. You know, players that we have,

70
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 4: you know, that type of thing. But then let's take

71
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:09,920
Speaker 4: the next step this week. You know, let's be even better.

72
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 5: How much does it help the run defense?

73
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 2: Having edge guys like Josh and even Trayvon, who it

74
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 2: seems like against the run has really stepped it up.

75
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 4: Yea, helps our defense, our team. I mean we got

76
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:20,959
Speaker 4: good players. You know, had Eric in there, and you

77
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 4: know they're really good. You do a good job using

78
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 4: their hands, knocking the line of scrimmage back the big bodies.

79
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 5: Uh, they run real well.

80
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 4: Those guys did a good job on the edge, they

81
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 4: really did, Uh, Trayvon getting off of Blox. I mean

82
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 4: there was times Josh you know, his his his awareness

83
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 4: in terms of the blocks and his block reaction, things

84
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 4: like there's there's some disruption. There's some things that you

85
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 4: didn't see on the stat line that he did during

86
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 4: the game in the rush run game and the pass

87
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 4: rush game that showed up on the tape. You know,

88
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 4: on a toss plays in the backfield, taking two guys

89
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 4: where you know Tyson can make a tackle, and so

90
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 4: there's there's some really good things that those guys did. Again,

91
00:03:57,920 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 4: we just got to build off of it.

92
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: Feel about the formans of the interior of your defense,

93
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: and you also seem to balance out the snaps there

94
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 1: so that you would have you know, fresh guys.

95
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 5: Sure we could at every position, we can get better.

96
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 5: And so it was the same thing with those guys.

97
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 4: I thought it was okay, could have been better at times,

98
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 4: but at certain times there was very encouraging things. We

99
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,600
Speaker 4: played some young players, not an excuse, but young guys

100
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 4: out there, and there's some of those guys that can

101
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,280
Speaker 4: play and need to get and play better for us

102
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 4: with their.

103
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,279
Speaker 5: Ability and things that they've done.

104
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,480
Speaker 4: But as I think overall, when you really look at it, yep,

105
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 4: towards the end of the game, I think there's a

106
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 4: couple of plays that you'd like to have back in

107
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 4: the run game. You know, a couple of the third

108
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 4: down belly play and the last play of the game

109
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 4: where you know it falls off attackle. If you make

110
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 4: those two tackles, you feel even better because you felt

111
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 4: pretty good about it right now.

112
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 1: So as a defensive coordinator, did you feel like this

113
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: is something that you guys have to do. You have

114
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 1: to give these young guys in the hopes that they're

115
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: going to get better as the season goes.

116
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:04,479
Speaker 5: Along.

117
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:06,600
Speaker 1: But if you don't, if you don't put them out there,

118
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: then you know, how are they going to get better.

119
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 4: It's one of the things that at all positions is

120
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 4: have the rotation. Like we said with the linebackers, the

121
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 4: D line, you know, in the secondary is continue because

122
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 4: it's such a long I mean, look what happened to Tyson.

123
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 4: You know, Tyson goes down Week one, and so the

124
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 4: next guy up. You know, if Buster didn't play in

125
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 4: the preseason and things like that, then we wouldn't know,

126
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,479
Speaker 4: you know what he would because he was playing against

127
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 4: you know, really good so we knew, hey, we were

128
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 4: confident something happening. He next guy and he goes out

129
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 4: there and does does his job. Same thing in the

130
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 4: interior of the D line. It's really important how we

131
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 4: practice and they go against our best players, you know,

132
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 4: those young guys and they have success or they don't,

133
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:47,919
Speaker 4: and we can work with them fundamentals and technique, and

134
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 4: so we'll continue to work that group. I mean, we

135
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 4: have seven D tackles on the roster, so there's a

136
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 4: bunch of guys that we we think that we could

137
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:57,840
Speaker 4: they can play in there. So you'll see a combination,

138
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 4: you know, three out the year, you know, and if

139
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,479
Speaker 4: some guy gets nicked or something like that, and God

140
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 4: forbid that that happens. But next man up, mentality, is

141
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 4: that something that.

142
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 5: Might take a little time for.

143
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 1: Let's let's just say a guy like Foyer who's used

144
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: to being on the field at.

145
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 5: All times, is that gonna take some some gigging used.

146
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: To them not always being on the field and having

147
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 1: to allow those younger players.

148
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:21,720
Speaker 5: To the problem.

149
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 4: Uh, you know, that's probably more of a question for him,

150
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 4: I think, just I mean, that's just how we've been practicing.

151
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:29,599
Speaker 4: You know that you go out there four or five reps,

152
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 4: next guy in, you know, so it's probably be a

153
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 4: better question for him. But don't see it being a

154
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 4: too big of an issue.

155
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:38,280
Speaker 3: What does it do for you to have Chad and

156
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 3: Ventro come in, have Foyer go off? Just given how

157
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 3: good Foye is as a player, how does that help

158
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,679
Speaker 3: your defense? Certain packages things of that nature.

159
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 4: Sure, the more you can do helps in all the

160
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 4: packages you see her out there. You know, there's some

161
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 4: things that we can do with those guys with their

162
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 4: skill sets. But you're confident next guy in there, and

163
00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:59,919
Speaker 4: be honest with there. At times, didn't know that Foyer

164
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 4: was out of the game. He got a blow and

165
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,160
Speaker 4: then hey, looked out there and there's fifty one out there,

166
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 4: and it was like all right, here we go, like, hey,

167
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 4: next man up, Like it's it's uh, it was, it's

168
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 4: it's awesome.

169
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 5: You know, you see Chad out there.

170
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 4: You know, Chad's out there making a play, and you're like,

171
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 4: all right, you know, so you feel really good at

172
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 4: all positions with our rotation.

173
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 5: We've got a good roster. We've got a good we

174
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 5: have a good roster. We got depth on our defense,

175
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 5: that's one of the things we do have.

176
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 4: And so you know, regardless of who else who's out

177
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 4: on the field, you always feel like, hey, we're confident

178
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 4: in every single play that every player is going to

179
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 4: do their job.

180
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 2: Uh.

181
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 1: There seemed there seemed to be a pretty good balance

182
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: with with Eric as far as inside or outside. How

183
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: much does that I wanted it sort of take you

184
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 1: to just sort of settle in on what is the

185
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 1: best role for him to help.

186
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 5: Pretty quickly, Like we knew exactly what we're going to

187
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 5: do when he got here.

188
00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 4: You know, play some ends, play some tackle, that's kind

189
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 4: of what his and then how we rotated. It was

190
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 4: a personnel packages things like that, So it wasn't a

191
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 4: big you know, and you'll see the continue that moving

192
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 4: them around.

193
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 5: Things like that for the rest of the year. So

194
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 5: it wasn't that. You know, it wasn't a huge deal.

195
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 3: It seems like Darnell's Savage plays a pretty unique role

196
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 3: in the defense. I mean he was online of scrimmage,

197
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 3: at safety and the slot. How unique is that to

198
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 3: be able to have a player to do all those

199
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 3: different things and.

200
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 5: How play very very unique. You played really well. His speed.

201
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 4: You know, some of the times in the second area

202
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 4: when you don't show up with a lot of statistics

203
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:36,199
Speaker 4: regardless of whatever position, could mean you played really well.

204
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 4: The ball didn't go to you because you're tight coverage

205
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 4: things like that. You know, he had some tackles, you know,

206
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,439
Speaker 4: he was flying around. His ability to play close to

207
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 4: the line of scrimmage and deep, you know, in the

208
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 4: safety positions and be able to play different coverages with

209
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 4: his skill set.

210
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 5: You know, the Nickels safety, you.

211
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:55,839
Speaker 4: Know, and if he needed to in a pinch, you

212
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 4: can go out there and play some corner you know,

213
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 4: certain things because Nickel is very similar. So you know,

214
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 4: you fired up about the guy. You know, he's he's

215
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 4: very confident. He came off the field feeling very confident.

216
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 4: He did a good job and we are as well.

217
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 4: You know, we just got to continue to go with

218
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 4: that and you'll see him continue to move around within

219
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:14,679
Speaker 4: the package.

220
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 5: Thank you, Thank you guys for sure.

221
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 2: Thanks
