Speaker 1: Good come out of this scheme against the Ramso and
Speaker 1: with forward to the Patriots. What is there one particular
Speaker 1: episode of that game or situation or just overall umbrella
Speaker 1: of something that went wrong You really have put the
Speaker 1: focus in on correcting.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I think it was situations more than one thing. I
Speaker 3: think it's a culmination. It hasn't really ever been one
Speaker 3: thing or one coverage. It's kind of been a culmination
Speaker 3: of things, and and it just hasn't been good enough overall.
Speaker 3: You know, it's not one person or one cover, you know,
Speaker 3: like I said, it's just kind of been we be
Speaker 3: a little better here, a little better there. And as always,
Speaker 3: I always look at myself first, and I should. I
Speaker 3: mean it's my defense and I'm the coordinator, but I
Speaker 3: take responsibility of that and I think we just all
Speaker 3: feel that way. That's a cool thing all as coaches
Speaker 3: got to coach better and players have that feel that
Speaker 3: challenge as well for themselves.
Speaker 2: Maybe. So any update on.
Speaker 1: What's that?
Speaker 3: Oh, Curtis?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 3: I yeah, I don't know. Thank you. The loss of
Speaker 3: Hartrave due to your defensive line. I mean, he's he's one,
Speaker 3: he is a great player, but he was having a
Speaker 3: he's had an awesome camp and awesome offseason and really
Speaker 3: that game he was playing really really good too. So
Speaker 3: it's tough because he's such a good player. I mean,
Speaker 3: this is a time when guys have to step up.
Speaker 3: I know it's cliche, but the league is littered with
Speaker 3: guys that have been backups and you know, get their
Speaker 3: chance and play really well. It's just understanding who we're losing.
Speaker 3: He's it's gonna be a tough shoes to fill, but
Speaker 3: you guys have to step up, going.
Speaker 4: Back and talking about you know, the not one thing,
Speaker 4: not one player, not one situation. Is it difficult to
Speaker 4: make all the pieces fit together when there are so
Speaker 4: many new faces on that defense, a lot of new
Speaker 4: personel No.
Speaker 3: I think it's a it's a challenge. It's just you know,
Speaker 3: we're close. I think we feel it. You can be
Speaker 3: frustrated at times, but you know, we gotta we gotta
Speaker 3: fix it and we will. Which teams out to you
Speaker 3: when you watch I'm by replacing our game.
Speaker 4: Are you looking at just you know, one person or do.
Speaker 2: You've envisioned that happen to be kind of multiple guys.
Speaker 3: That will Yeah, I think we're looking at a bunch
Speaker 3: of guys, and you know, Jordan Ellie has been rotating
Speaker 3: in and so does Kevin. So those guys particular, you know,
Speaker 3: you think of it to step up and and then
Speaker 3: it goes from there. You know, we've got guys on
Speaker 3: practice squad, so I think it's just a matter of
Speaker 3: you know, getting guys training. That's why you have practice
Speaker 3: squad so that they're trained up and you know, see
Speaker 3: who can step in and make plays for.
Speaker 4: Us or gross Matos moving inside too, or do you
Speaker 4: maybe not have enough edge.
Speaker 3: Depth he had, He's done that, you know, certain situations
Speaker 3: in his history which we've you know, we've talked about,
Speaker 3: and they're.
Speaker 2: Down defense in particular. Why do you feel that's been
Speaker 2: an issue?
Speaker 3: Just get getting off the field. Like I said, it's
Speaker 3: not one thing it's been. It's been tough. It is
Speaker 3: frustrating at times. I mean because sometimes it's really good.
Speaker 3: It's just I think stuff's been kind of inconsistent all around.
Speaker 3: You know, sometimes the run game, we hit it up
Speaker 3: really good, or we get pressure. I think overall, I
Speaker 3: just think we have high expations. We all do. The players,
Speaker 3: the coaches myself well understand how it's supposed to look here,
Speaker 3: and I think it's it's not one thing. We just
Speaker 3: consistently got to get better. Move didn't come off the field,
Speaker 3: which I think has only happened one another time.
Speaker 2: In his career. Is that a reflection of the edge
Speaker 2: depth or.
Speaker 3: No, I don't think it's a reflection to edge depth.
Speaker 3: I think, you know, and talking to Nick, we'd like
Speaker 3: to spell him more. I mean, if you really look
Speaker 3: at the first three games, you really have a lot
Speaker 3: of plays and I think he was kind of into
Speaker 3: the game, and you know, it was felt good. And
Speaker 3: you know, because Serak has always connected with him and
Speaker 3: he likes to rotate the guys and take care of Nick,
Speaker 3: and there just haven't been as many defensive plays I
Speaker 3: think so far in the first few games, and you know,
Speaker 3: Nick was into and I think we just, you know,
Speaker 3: we got to protect him and be smart about it
Speaker 3: so that we keep him as fresh as possible for
Speaker 3: the longest period of time. But I think he just,
Speaker 3: you know, felt like he was he was good. If
Speaker 3: Nick's good, then he's going to get a lot of reps.
Speaker 4: And watched the Patriots offense on the film, what what
Speaker 4: stands out to you about them?
Speaker 3: Well, they can they can really run the ball. I
Speaker 3: mean they're they're aggressive, they're physical, they have a very
Speaker 3: good plan, they're very well coached, two really good running backs,
Speaker 3: a line that knows how to block. They have good scheme,
Speaker 3: and then Brissette really is a good fit in that
Speaker 3: system and how he performs and how he plays, and
Speaker 3: you know he sees the game right. He protects the ball,
Speaker 3: he can make the throws that he needs to make,
Speaker 3: and he can move really well. I think they're just
Speaker 3: a tough team, reflection of the coach and the coaching
Speaker 3: and respect for those guys. I mean, they're really big
Speaker 3: backs that can cut, they can run. It's just overall
Speaker 3: physical team.
Speaker 4: When you got a rough patch like this, do you
Speaker 4: do you sit back and think we're going to try
Speaker 4: some new things and shape things up, or you have
Speaker 4: to guard against that.
Speaker 1: It's better.
Speaker 3: I think it just it depends depends on what you're
Speaker 3: doing good. You got to look at yourself and then
Speaker 3: also it's that week who you're playing, so you got
Speaker 3: to evaluate what are we doing, what can we be better.
Speaker 3: At a lot of times you can pinpoint that you
Speaker 3: don't want to just go off the reservation because you
Speaker 3: know you know who you are, you know what you
Speaker 3: want this defense to be. But then also how does
Speaker 3: that tie into who we're playing? You know, the most
Speaker 3: important thing is how do we win this game? So
Speaker 3: it's not so much you know, you're looking at what
Speaker 3: you've done and what needs to be better, and you
Speaker 3: identify it, and I think we talk about it, We
Speaker 3: identify it, and then all right, is that going to
Speaker 3: affect How much does that affect this game? What do
Speaker 3: we need to do specifically to win this game and
Speaker 3: beat this team?
Speaker 4: Drake may do you watch just in case they decide
Speaker 4: to make the quarterbacks?
Speaker 3: Yeah, you watch them both. I mean we've seen a
Speaker 3: lot of tape. I mean there's only been a few games,
Speaker 3: and those guys did play in the preseason, so you know,
Speaker 3: you look at the scheme and of what they've done
Speaker 3: in the past. But he's a talented quarterback too.
Speaker 2: Can you talk about the process of calling defenses in
Speaker 2: a game when you're doing for the first time and
Speaker 2: how you prepare to do that in the difference? Is
Speaker 2: it faster? Is it?
Speaker 3: I think a lot of guys a lot of the
Speaker 3: preparation is done now, it's done during the week, and
Speaker 3: you kind of prepare for the situations. There are tweaks
Speaker 3: that you do have to Sometimes you can pre think, okay, this,
Speaker 3: if this happens, we're ready to go to this that
Speaker 3: you might have some tweaks in game. That's why you
Speaker 3: always hear people talk about halftime adjustments. Sometimes you have those,
Speaker 3: sometimes you don't. Sometimes you don't need them necessarily, or
Speaker 3: you decide that you don't, you know, need to have
Speaker 3: something called that you have on the sheet based on
Speaker 3: what they're deciding to do, and you're just kind of
Speaker 3: figuring each other out and seeing how it's working within
Speaker 3: the game. But I think primarily most of the work
Speaker 3: is done throughout the week, you know, and.
Speaker 2: It replicates it like before you get into a game,
Speaker 2: is there anything that the.
Speaker 3: Oh not really preseason games are cool and then me
Speaker 3: personally not having done it. My favorite part of training
Speaker 3: camp was the unscripted move.
Speaker 2: The ball periods.
Speaker 3: I think those are invaluable for someone who hadn't done
Speaker 3: it before. Thanks guys,
