1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,920
Speaker 1: Mix and match cornerbacks and uh with with the situation

2
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:07,520
Speaker 1: with Tyson, you know you might have one guy playing

3
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:08,880
Speaker 1: both cornerback and safety.

4
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:10,880
Speaker 2: You got you got like u two or three different

5
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:12,200
Speaker 2: options to how you can go there.

6
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 3: Well, we got a g a bunch of guys that

7
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:16,479
Speaker 3: have gotten a bunch of reps that are been you know,

8
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:19,239
Speaker 3: working hard and ready to plug him in and see

9
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 3: what they do. Yeah, Buster be the next guy up.

10
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 3: Just uh what he's done uh through training camp and

11
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 3: out there practice every day. He's a guy that works

12
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 3: hard and you know we're confident with him going out

13
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:35,519
Speaker 3: there and he'll be ready to go when you can

14
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 3: do something like that rather than like moving tray outside

15
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 3: and shifting a bunch of pieces. Really, if you move

16
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 3: too many people around, you're moving too many people around.

17
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 3: If you can just put one guy in and you

18
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 3: know that's what they're the here for. You know, we

19
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,479
Speaker 3: saw what he did in the off season and what

20
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:53,599
Speaker 3: he did in training camp, and he deserves to be here.

21
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 3: He gets the opportunity to go out there and play.

22
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 4: Say yesterday you've been uh to von Campbell or or Hollet.

23
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 4: You might be calling up or it might our guys

24
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 4: in the building already that could kind of help you

25
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 4: with TIC. How much confidence you having those guys on

26
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 4: the practice squad though?

27
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 3: The guys, uh, that's the reason they're here. They showed

28
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 3: an ability and you know the numbers didn't work out

29
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 3: for them to be on the fifty three. But and

30
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 3: now you know we can call guys up and you

31
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 3: know they'll go out there and you know, be able

32
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 3: to help us out.

33
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 2: How did you feel.

34
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 5: Bus or did I know he was kind of just

35
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 5: throw it in there? But how'd you feel like he played?

36
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 2: I thought I thought he did good. He tackled well,

37
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:33,960
Speaker 2: he was in coverage.

38
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 3: And again, communication is something that it's not just him,

39
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 3: it's everybody we have to get better at. And that's

40
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 3: just one of the areas where we'll get the calls

41
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 3: to him and let him understand the technique he's playing.

42
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 2: And you know, he did a decent job.

43
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 5: More challenging since it's a short week to sort of

44
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 5: build that organic chemistry or chemistry between the corners and

45
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 5: the safts and specifically Buster.

46
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 2: It's really not I think I said it a couple

47
00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 2: of weeks ago.

48
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 3: We were in London for ten and we got to

49
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 3: jail together and we're talking all the time, and then

50
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 3: you go out on the field should be the same way.

51
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 3: You know, you're a safety or a linebacker, you ought

52
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 3: to be out there talking just like you're talking in

53
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 3: the locker room or you know, uh riding the bus somewhere.

54
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 1: Leading in the NFL and and takeaways, how much is

55
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 1: that as a function of you know, being in the

56
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: second year with with your system and just the improved

57
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: communication level, cause that that seems to be a a

58
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: pretty big factor in getting turnovers.

59
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 3: I think, uh, it really just comes down to taking

60
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 3: advantage of your opportunity.

61
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 2: We've been able to touch.

62
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 3: The ball and the guy they're coming down with it.

63
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 3: You know, Josh had a strip sack wherever to get

64
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 3: a couple of fumbles. So it's just being able to,

65
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 3: you know, take advantage of opportunities. We always talk about

66
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,079
Speaker 3: the numbers favor us, so if we get more guys

67
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 3: around the ball, we have opportunity to take the ball away.

68
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 2: So that's what we try to do, and we're doing

69
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 2: a decent job right now. Really wipe them up all over.

70
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 3: He's he's a guy that can run it can and

71
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 3: he's really good out of the backfield. And he's a

72
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 3: guy that they feed the ball to. So that's really

73
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 3: the challenge. He's gonna get many opportunities. We just have

74
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 3: to be around him, get a bunch of guys around

75
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 3: him and try to sew him down.

76
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:18,079
Speaker 2: On Sunday, where.

77
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 4: Got in the gated and you're like waving him back

78
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 4: as he's jumped into the stands, and then he comes

79
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 4: back and gets a pick for real, and he goes

80
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 4: right back into the stands. Gus, you just talk about

81
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 4: him and how much energy he brings to the team.

82
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 2: That's the thing. It's uh the.

83
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 3: Energy he plays with. He's a guy that is passionate

84
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 3: about his play and you can see it on the field.

85
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 3: He's a guy that if you're walking down a street

86
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 3: at night, you want him with you because he's gonna

87
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 3: fight with you. And he goes out there every week

88
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 3: and he's a tone setter for us. He's a guy

89
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 3: that brings a bunch of energy. And I saw the flag,

90
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 3: so I knew he wasn't gonna count, but I was

91
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 3: trying to get him back so we know we can

92
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 3: get the next call in.

93
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 2: But you know, it's great to see his hard work

94
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 2: pay off.

95
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 3: Get an opportunity to have one and then get another

96
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 3: one later on. It was It was good to see

97
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 3: how long person.

98
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 5: Were you by what Smooth was able to do coming

99
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 5: back from injury, like thirty two snaps was in there

100
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 5: pretty active.

101
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 3: I think that was that was big, just to get

102
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 3: back coming off the injury and just getting it was

103
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 3: great to see him go back out there and play

104
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 3: and it'll just continue to get better. You know, the

105
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 3: first day you're out there, you're going as hard.

106
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:27,840
Speaker 2: As you can.

107
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,720
Speaker 3: Then you start to feel you know, now, hey, I'm back,

108
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,160
Speaker 3: and he'll go out there and you know he did

109
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 3: some good things in the pass for us and he'll continue.

110
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 2: To do it.

111
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, speed and they have size, so that's always a challenge.

112
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 3: And then they have multiple guys that can stretch the feel,

113
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 3: multiple guys that can go up and can test for

114
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 3: a ball, So that's a big challenge. And you have

115
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,919
Speaker 3: a quarterback that's throwing the ball anywhere he wants to,

116
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 3: so that, uh, passing game is gonna be a tough

117
00:04:58,800 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 3: task force.

118
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 4: You were with Tam Food, you played the Saints a

119
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 4: couple of times already in your career. Just how tough

120
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 4: is it to play in that building.

121
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 2: It's tough to play it out in there.

122
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 3: But the other thing about it, I told the guys,

123
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 3: it's exciting.

124
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 2: The atmosphere is unbelievable.

125
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 3: So when you go down there, you're gonna be up

126
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,159
Speaker 3: for the game because they're gonna make you get up

127
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 3: for the game, the fans and you know they all

128
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 3: the costumes they have on. It's a great atmosphere to

129
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,840
Speaker 3: be in. This Thursday night, we're the only show on,

130
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 3: so you know they should be excited, ready to go yours.

131
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:36,040
Speaker 1: Williams playing in such a such a high level, both

132
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 1: in the pass since he's breaking up and the interceptions

133
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: he's getting.

134
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 3: I think just the hard work came in last year,

135
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 3: had to shown her a little bit. Then with playing inside,

136
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 3: then we moved him outside and I think he's comfortable

137
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 3: in the system, comfortable what we're asking him to do,

138
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:55,479
Speaker 3: and he's showing that he has good hands, you know,

139
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 3: former basketball player, good eye coordination. So he's a guy

140
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 3: that it's the ball around him, he's gonna be able

141
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 3: to make a play on it. It's a short week

142
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:07,599
Speaker 3: make getting the defensive game playing together difficult. It does

143
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:12,720
Speaker 3: because you know coaches and players are always gonna schedule

144
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 3: in a routine and routines jacked up. I came over

145
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 3: right after the game on Sunday trying to get as

146
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:22,840
Speaker 3: much information as I could. But we understand that it's

147
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,359
Speaker 3: a Thursday night and it's a great opportunity for our

148
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 3: team to go down there and play, so we'll be ready.

149
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 3: We're just gonna have to you know, speed everything up,

150
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 3: but you know, get the details to the players can

151
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 3: let them understand what they're supposed to do and what we.

152
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 2: Want to do, and we'll go down there and you know,

153
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:38,280
Speaker 2: let it go.

154
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 5: Let you think about getting Devon back last week.

155
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 2: I thought, uh, he gave us a jolt.

156
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,720
Speaker 3: He was out there, he was flying around, and Devin's

157
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 3: a guy that he's long, he's instinctive and he makes

158
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,359
Speaker 3: plays on the ball. Now he had to cast on

159
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 3: his hands, so he's unable to catch two of them,

160
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 3: but uh, it was it was good to see him back,

161
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,159
Speaker 3: and I thought he brought a lot of energy and

162
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 3: you know, it's good to see him flying around.

163
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 2: Well since the.

164
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 3: Other guys caught him. You know, we have we have

165
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 3: this competition between inside linebackers, cornerbacks, safeties and outside linebackers

166
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 3: and typically inside guys are catching them all the best,

167
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 3: but uh, with that cast on, it's gonna be tough, right.

168
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 2: Couldn't just ask you about Antonio Johnson?

Speaker 3: to get him out there. You saw him going a

180
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 3: few times on third down and his package is just
