1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,680
Speaker 1: Get started. Uh, you know with things today. You know,

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:05,840
Speaker 1: certainly talking to the team, we said, you know, we

3
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:08,600
Speaker 1: lost the game, but we're certainly not lost, and there's

4
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 1: a big difference in that. And so we missed the

5
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 1: target defensive in this game for sure, and that's what

6
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 1: today was about, getting to the truth of that and why.

7
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 1: And uh it stings to watch, you know, when those

8
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 1: moments happen. But looking forward to recapturing all the unique

9
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 1: things about our defense makes so much fun to coach

10
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 1: and playing. So we'll be calling on that as we're

11
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 1: heading into this week. So a lot to acknowledge. You

12
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 1: got to own it, talk about the stuff you want

13
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 1: to hit on, and then you after today, then you

14
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 1: move past and all the focus goes on to today.

15
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:43,199
Speaker 1: But we're okay to sit in a minute for you know,

16
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 1: sitting in it for a minute, to be pissed about it.

17
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 1: But then you got to process it and move forward.

18
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 1: So that's what we'll plan on doing. So ready to

19
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:52,839
Speaker 1: open up to you guys and get rocking. What were

20
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 1: the most uncharacteristic elements of how you perform terday based

21
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 1: on what you didn't see in this group? Yep, And

22
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 1: I would think the biggest one would be the you know,

23
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,039
Speaker 1: the finishing of plays, and uh, you know, to have

24
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:10,040
Speaker 1: fourteen misstackles obviously has a lot of mistackles. So, um,

25
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:11,400
Speaker 1: if you're gonna play a good defense, I the you

26
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: guys have heard me say that you'd better be good

27
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: tackling and in this game, just too many one person

28
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 1: tackles for our liking. And so I'll say that to me,

29
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: was the story of it? If it was fourteen a

30
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 1: season high, yes, it was been what's a normal if

31
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 1: you're in the single digits, that's in a normal one.

32
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: But you know, some of these ones also turned into

33
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 1: explosive plays. And when you're really humming and really hauling ass,

34
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: sometimes that can make up for a miss run fit

35
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 1: or a miss you know gap because the next guy

36
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 1: is going to come clean it up. And so I think, uh,

37
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 1: just remembering what that relentless nature of going and finishing

38
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 1: can feel like and look like. And you guys have

39
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 1: certainly seen that from from the defense, So we've got

40
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: to capture that and every time you go, it's got

41
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 1: to be that way. I need to spend a third

42
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: Now that kind of gets to the quarterback the path,

43
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: but there as much you wanted. No, I didn't get

44
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 1: there as much as I wanted, that's for sure. And

45
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: I think you know for sure one of the early

46
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,239
Speaker 1: one was a run that they got, a long explosive

47
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: one might have been the second third down of the game.

48
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 1: But yeah, just you know, combinations of ones for us

49
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: to go. But we definitely didn't affect the quarterback in

50
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 1: the way that that we had hoped to. And sometimes

51
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: you might see that just because there were some sacks

52
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 1: or such, but to not affect the quarterback in the

53
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: way that we liked, that was bothersome. It's the point

54
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: on me. But they were playing with some vacuums and tackling.

55
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 1: They're also tackling you still the Marrian difference, that's correct,

56
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: very disappointing. But I also got to, you know, play

57
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 1: the way that we got to play, and that usually

58
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: factors in quite a bit as well. Let's talk about

59
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,920
Speaker 1: you guys want as physical less fasue you have been

60
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: in the pass. How much does that surprise you all? Well,

61
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 1: I certainly for us, that's the thing that has to

62
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: be our calling card. And so every time you go,

63
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: when you watch us, our family and friends watch us,

64
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: to say, man, you guys really bring it, and so

65
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 1: you got to call on that nature. It's like, uh,

66
00:02:57,880 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: for all you guys who work out like you know

67
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: you're going for a hard work out, you got to

68
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 1: call upon the mindset it's going to take to go

69
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: get it in. Otherwise you go in it's like, oh shit,

70
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: this workouts low hard, and I thought you got to

71
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: always be ready to get it on and having that mindset.

72
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 1: It's it's a challenge, for sure, but that's the style

73
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 1: of defense we play, and I'm quite certain we will

74
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: recapture that. We're the run fits there the way they

75
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: had been earlier in the season, and it was just

76
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 1: missing tackles or were you're a little bit out of

77
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 1: kilter on that. I would say there were examples of both.

78
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 1: There were six explosive runs in the game, and there

79
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: was plenty of runs we fit and did great. There

80
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 1: was a bunch of TFLs. But when you get one

81
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: that's a misfit and the next guy is not haul

82
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: and asked to get there, that's when the explosives come.

83
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 1: And so that was disappointing to get to. For sure.

84
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 1: It didn't really seem like Tremont's positioning your coverage was

85
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 1: all that bad on the long touchdown? Are What were

86
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 1: your coaching points or thoughts on Yeah, I think when

87
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: you're playing on a deep ball and you're right, you know,

88
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: and give them credit too, they dropped a good pas down,

89
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: but being on top and if they have to be

90
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: on tops In other words, when the receiver's running down

91
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: this way, I'm Trey and we're going that one has

92
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: to either be thrown behind or add a bounds almost

93
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 1: you know, when you're on top of the receiver, So UM,

94
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: just staying on top. He's in good position, but staying

95
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: on top, then you can play late through the ball.

96
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 1: Last two weeks, trade minds been a little bit more

97
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 1: aggressive than what you like. No, I like aggressive, So

98
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: I'd say that's Um talking about Um. I'm not sure

99
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 1: I'm following him. No, I mean honestly that I'm the

100
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,359
Speaker 1: last one that would that's not the aggressive foul that

101
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: you know took place or an aggressive mistake that took

102
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: place on the deep ball there playing up to your standard.

103
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 1: The last couple, I would say, the one from we

104
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 1: had in Minnesota, I think I'm the deep ball and

105
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: the short yardage one. I think that would definitely be

106
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 1: one he'd like to have over but uh, you know,

107
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: for all of us, um, it doesn't come down to

108
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: one thing. It's more like, hey man, this is our

109
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,679
Speaker 1: style and attitude to how we play, so we're always

110
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: going to play it aggressive. But that doesn't mean taking

111
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: an unnecessary chance. If that's what you're asking. Yeah, but

112
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 1: in this game, I don't feel like that was the case.

113
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 1: I'll talk about knowing you want to be worked physical

114
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 1: for the game. Can you talk about th can you

115
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:11,479
Speaker 1: point two why you work yesterday? It's on perfectist happens. Yeah,

116
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 1: I wish I could, otherwise it would not allow that

117
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: to happen. I can one hundred percent promise you. I

118
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 1: think just you know, the lesson that you always want

119
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 1: to take from something and when you have a bad performance,

120
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 1: otherwise the pain went for nothing. So you want to

121
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 1: make sure that you're ready to call on that type

122
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 1: of energy, effort, toughness. And I really felt we went

123
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 1: after it hard up in Minnesota, and you've got to

124
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 1: recapture it and go on the next day. We're gonna

125
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: have some other big wins and you've got to be

126
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 1: ready to you know, get it right back on the

127
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 1: next day and the next opportunity and and we'll do that.

128
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: It's a hard lesson that you go through, but use

129
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,359
Speaker 1: you those are the ones that are most impactful, aren't they?

130
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 1: Just a little earlier playing Kusher cardis in he is

131
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: talking about the two point three second principle and on

132
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 1: that is when you make a big place. And I

133
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,480
Speaker 1: think that's what you will refer to when you talk

134
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 1: about too many one person yesterday that could you talk

135
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 1: about the coaching points for that directors trying to like

136
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 1: plastering them. So, yeah, what coaches referring to on those

137
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: is extended plays. And not all of them, but a

138
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: lot of them happen when the quarterback gets outside the pocket.

139
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 1: So if you were a defensive player, we'd say you're

140
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 1: playing two separate plays. The first one happens and the

141
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,280
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the pocket. The second one begins when he

142
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 1: breaks contain or gets outside because the receivers then taught

143
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 1: they have a certain route that they start with and

144
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: then now it gets on the move and that's when

145
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 1: the second play begins. So we've worked hard at that

146
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 1: all the way back from the spring. Might had the

147
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 1: quarterbacks as part of the practice emphasis where we were

148
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: extending plays, certainly in the passing game. Now for us,

149
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,359
Speaker 1: in this game, there weren't extended a lot of extended

150
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: passing game plays. For us. It was more a function

151
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,599
Speaker 1: of second, third, fourth, fifth guy in, you know, to

152
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 1: finish off on the runners. But different, little different, not

153
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:01,720
Speaker 1: the same thing, I guess I should say. Oftentimes the

154
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: two three is on a movement play of the quarterback.

155
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,479
Speaker 1: These particular ones for us in the run game, especially

156
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 1: on those six explosives, too many one man tackles. Well,

157
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: I mean the week coaching against Atlanta for the first time, Well,

158
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 1: I think one, I have great memories for there, and

159
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: I always will. And I think a lot of the

160
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 1: really cool and things that we accomplished there, and there

161
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 1: were a lot of them versus how it ended. And

162
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: I think that's an important declaration. I'll certainly be forever

163
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,119
Speaker 1: grateful to Arthur to you know, give me the opportunity there,

164
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 1: and to all the players I had the privilege of coach.

165
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 1: But you guys saw the performance yesterday. So there aren't

166
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 1: no time to take a stroll down memory lane. Like

167
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: we got some shit to fix. So like how it'll

168
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: be right where my feet are, right where I'm supposed

169
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 1: to be going after it as hard as we can.

170
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 1: Worry about the jerseys that I coach now and we'll

171
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 1: throw a hell of a week. So I'm understanding you're

172
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: not going to answer a lot more on that, But

173
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 1: is it better, sweet? I mean, are you able to

174
00:07:56,200 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 1: look at just because a long period of time, Yes,

175
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: that's correct. I'll say I did that. I did that,

176
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 1: and then when I started here, I started fresh again,

177
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 1: and so that's to me why there was some separation.

178
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 1: You know, I wasn't there three weeks ago, and so

179
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: this is my team, this is what I'm with, and

180
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 1: this is my crew. So like I said, I always

181
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 1: will think of the memories, but I'm right where I'm

182
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 1: supposed to be the guy you want that some of

183
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 1: the guys you want with you from the line. Do

184
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: you think they're saying, Okay, coach Q is not thinking

185
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 1: about we're thinking about it for him. I would say

186
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 1: if I was in the team, you guys saw her

187
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: performance yesterday and there are no trips down memory lane,

188
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 1: and let's just make sure we get back to the

189
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: style and attitude that we love playing with. And that's

190
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: honestly the most important thing. This isn't necessarily specific to

191
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 1: the Falcons, but it makes sense this week for you.

192
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 1: I'm just curious in your experience as a coach when

193
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,440
Speaker 1: you have a lot of familiarity with opponents of personnel,

194
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:51,839
Speaker 1: which I assume you would for Atlanta. Do you do

195
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 1: you feel like that really helps you put a game plan? Again,

196
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: I think it can help on really both sides because

197
00:08:57,920 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 1: you have some knowledge of the player. Now what I

198
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 1: don't know. I haven't been all the way through their

199
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 1: you know, schemes yet. I can't help on that side

200
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,559
Speaker 1: of things. But just a speed or you know, technique

201
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 1: or a skill of a player, you know, you can

202
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 1: certainly give insight to that, almost like a scout would,

203
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: because you have knowledge of that. But as far as

204
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 1: the scheme goes, they're they're new on all three phases.

205
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 1: He told us when we first talked to you. I

206
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 1: think that he did this after action and that whole time.

207
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 1: What was the best thing that someone told you that

208
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,839
Speaker 1: you didn't even know of or think of, or that

209
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,440
Speaker 1: caught you by surprise. I would say that caught me

210
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 1: by surprise. Um, I don't know, it was by surprise.

211
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 1: One of the biggest lessons, hey man, just like keep

212
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: the main thing, the main thing, you know, if you're

213
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 1: somebody that likes to solve a lot of problems and

214
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 1: do things just like, keep everything right in front of you,

215
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 1: of the things that you have the power to control

216
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: and to effect scam out of the did how much

217
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 1: the numbers? Why I speak that you guys, you've changed

218
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,319
Speaker 1: dramatically from what they what you played in Atlanta to

219
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: what you're doing now. Was that part of that after action? Yes? Percent, yep,

220
00:09:58,600 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: that was a big part of it. Yeah, it was

221
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 1: just my land of time, but I include some Seattle

222
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:05,559
Speaker 1: time in there. So there was about a almost a

223
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 1: seven year cutups, you know that I went through to

224
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 1: find what was good, what needed changeing, and you know,

225
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 1: what needed tweaking. So yeah, it's quite a bit different.

226
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 1: And how much do Joe and George and the back

227
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 1: end putting things together with you guys during the week

228
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 1: quite a bit? Yeah, And so on a staff there's

229
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 1: usually and you know, people that have areas of responsibility

230
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 1: and that's you maybe heard me, you know, refer to

231
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 1: to Joe and to Al last week on third down.

232
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,199
Speaker 1: Those are some areas of emphasis or another person to

233
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 1: short yards and red zone and goal line and then

234
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 1: bring all the information up to the table and then

235
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 1: it's kind of like putting a puzzle together. You know,

236
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,199
Speaker 1: you put all the information up and you decide what

237
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 1: you need and how to attack it and go from there.

238
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 1: But it's a fun process to go through. But it

239
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 1: takes you, you know, for a few days to go

240
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 1: and they actually work ahead to get there so they

241
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: can have a sense of by the time we get

242
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 1: into tonight and tomorrow morning, Hey, this is what they

243
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 1: do best's the things that do and you know, how

244
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 1: can we go to attack it or play to this

245
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 1: player and matchup. So yeah, it's a fun part of it.

246
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: There's a lot that goes into it. Is that different

247
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 1: from how you ran a defense of the Pastors? That

248
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 1: always been the put that's been the same Yep, all

249
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 1: the time that you spent with Matt Ryan and the

250
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:19,439
Speaker 1: success you've had together. What do your most appreciate about

251
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 1: him as player? And course I'd say he is a

252
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 1: rare competitor, and I would say he's one of those

253
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 1: people that are never out of the fight just because

254
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 1: of his competitive nature. And and then you always support somebody,

255
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:34,560
Speaker 1: always had your back, and I thought, you know, that

256
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 1: was certainly from the quarterback and head coaching relationship an

257
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 1: important one, and I always felt that way with Matt.

258
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 1: What was it about passing dirty that you liked when

259
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 1: you decided that a mere staff one? Yeah, I think

260
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: he's a remarkable teacher, adding is, and I think that

261
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,319
Speaker 1: really comes first as a coach. What's our first job,

262
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 1: you know, is to make sure you know the instruction,

263
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 1: the information, the intent. And he has such a real

264
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 1: way about of communicating that. But I think that's his

265
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 1: superpower as a teacher, and so he's able to connect

266
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,080
Speaker 1: with different people on different sides of the ball. He's

267
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: always digging into new ideas and new ways of looking

268
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 1: at things, and he gave me a ton of feedback

269
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 1: through the years. So I would say that's the thing

270
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 1: that most impresses me about him. I'm always watching him

271
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 1: teach and listening, and there's always things to pick up on.

272
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 1: Wasn't important to you to try to bring him here

273
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 1: with you? One? Yes it was, And I told that

274
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 1: to Mike, you know, when it was here, and he

275
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 1: understood that for sure. But yeah, it was definitely important

276
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 1: to have guys who almost know my rhythm as well

277
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 1: to know, hey, this might be with Dan's thinking and

278
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 1: Joe just kind of look ahead or around some corners

279
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 1: to say, hey, this is going to come up. This

280
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 1: is really important to him to make sure we do

281
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 1: it such such and such. So yeah, I think having

282
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 1: when you're first starting out somewhere, having a couple people

283
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 1: that understand your vision it helps. But yeah, I have

284
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 1: to string on multi takeaway games. He's saying, you don't

285
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 1: believe takeaway the current keep a train earl. Now that

286
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 1: it's been a couple of games with that takeaway, lets

287
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,439
Speaker 1: the key to bring him that. Well, I would say,

288
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:01,319
Speaker 1: we had a good opera one yesterday and we lost one,

289
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 1: you know, due to penalty. So for us, I think

290
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 1: just you know, mainly staying into our style and our

291
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 1: attitude to go. We had some chances for some but

292
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,680
Speaker 1: we didn't capitalize on them. So, um, I think just

293
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 1: staying in the process of how we do that, and uh,

294
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 1: you know, certainly give you know, credit where credits due

295
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 1: for Denver and their game and the players they had.

296
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 1: But at the end of it, um, like I said,

297
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 1: for us this week, so much about us was eating

298
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 1: achieve to foot them. One, yeah, I recognize the fair question,

299
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:33,320
Speaker 1: and one I would ask if I was in your

300
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 1: spot as well. I don't sense that was the case

301
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 1: in this. You know, usually you see guys slack off

302
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 1: for um, you know, kind of yeah what you know,

303
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 1: you can almost feel we got this, we got this.

304
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 1: But I don't feel that way. But it's an easy

305
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 1: narrative to go to, and I get where you're coming from.

306
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:51,079
Speaker 1: I didn't feel that with this group because honestly, we're

307
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 1: still kind of going. And so for us, this was

308
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:56,839
Speaker 1: our first big speed bump defensively, and but I didn't

309
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 1: go in thinking how we got them or he ain't

310
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 1: shit or any of that. None of that came up.

311
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:05,960
Speaker 1: You see, lack of energy. I felt a lack of finishing.

312
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:07,440
Speaker 1: So I don't know if it was energy because thought,

313
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:08,960
Speaker 1: you know, going into the game, I felt good. I

314
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 1: liked where our attitude was at, but I didn't like

315
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 1: the finishing part of plays and uh, second, third, fourth

316
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 1: guy in and to me, that's that's our calling card,

317
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 1: that's where we're at. And it wasn't you know, one

318
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 1: person to say, why wasn't he going? Or a lack

319
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 1: of and I can call it like a lack of efforts.

320
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 1: Just there's got to be a bigger over the top

321
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 1: emphasis for the way that we play, and as the

322
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 1: game went on, the time of possession kept going on

323
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 1: and on, where we just didn't get enough stops on

324
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 1: third down and create takeaways to you know, get ourselves

325
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 1: into the plus. I think those are two factors that

326
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 1: were big in the game. The biggest evolution or or

327
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 1: change in your defensive approach from what you had done

328
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 1: before to what you're doing now. How would you kind

329
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 1: of sympathize that and say this is this is where

330
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 1: I'm doing things. I would say, we're um, yeah, I

331
00:14:57,640 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 1: would say, and you have to look at it from

332
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 1: the other side. I think that's when you get a

333
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: chance to do that. It's important to look at anything

334
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 1: from the other point of view. And so for us,

335
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 1: I would say, we're certainly more versatile now. We had

336
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 1: relied heavily on three deep zone and it had been

337
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 1: good for us for a good long while, and so

338
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 1: having the ability to change is an important one. I

339
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 1: think everything is good, but nothing lasts forever into that spot,

340
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 1: you know, So like what was good, then now it's

341
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 1: got to have a new tweak and a new change,

342
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 1: and you're always kind of evolving, and so I would

343
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 1: say the versatility of the defense now with a variety

344
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 1: of coveras that we play and making the quarterback have

345
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 1: to read that after the snap. That's a big deal.

346
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 1: Team still going the games thinking he's dan Quinn, he

347
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 1: comes from Seattle, he's played a single high defense. This

348
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 1: is what they've been Um. I don't know. That'd be

349
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 1: a better question for the offensive coaches. I would say, yeah,

350
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 1: there's an element of you know, certainly what I learned

351
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 1: from you know, Coach Carol that you know had an

352
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 1: impact on me. That's still in part of our defense

353
00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: from some philosophies, But overall, scheme wise, I would say

354
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 1: they would say it's broader than it's been. When your

355
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 1: guys are on the field for forty minutes, are you

356
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 1: thinking and anything about you change this, any change that?

357
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 1: Just to preserve them? I'm not sure. I probably about

358
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 1: to preserve them, like just the volume of plays, just

359
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 1: to make sure, because when you talk about to make

360
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 1: sure they can play with the same amount of energy

361
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 1: despite how much energy they expanded down. Yeah, I think

362
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 1: we talk about okay, it's extending long. Then we would

363
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 1: talk about rolling players more, just so you had more

364
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 1: opportunities to go And that's the one good part about

365
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 1: our defense. We've had a number of players that have

366
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 1: played a lot, so we certainly trust these guys to

367
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 1: go in when that happens. And there'll be games where

368
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 1: that does happen where the you don't like it to

369
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 1: be that time of possession. Usually we're on the other

370
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 1: ones doing that. And so in this game the script

371
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 1: was flipped. What was the reaction to your players today

372
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 1: that what you had told them about it? Hey, sitting

373
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 1: in this and deal with it and moving forward. That's

374
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 1: the one thing I really admire about this group. They

375
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 1: are excellent competitors and very much connected. And so when

376
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 1: you see something that doesn't look exactly like we get

377
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 1: to um, there's no bullshit in yourself about it and

378
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 1: you say, hey, this is this isn't good enough for

379
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 1: what we want to be in the standard we want

380
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 1: to have, And uh, please don't take that as a

381
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:12,160
Speaker 1: knock on Denver. I'm not trying to say that one bit.

382
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 1: They played an excellent game. I'm just saying how our

383
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 1: reaction was, and you know, I would certainly expect that

384
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:22,400
Speaker 1: to change. You have to finish the pro practs popular

385
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:25,159
Speaker 1: in the weeks, so hard to can find out why

386
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 1: there is something he's talking pre drafting process or what

387
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 1: do you do it? Well, I think just for me

388
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 1: from watching them through the pre draft and um, I

389
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 1: got a chance to watch the sec last fall, so

390
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:38,639
Speaker 1: that was fine. Um, the length and the speed and

391
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 1: so when you can throw a way to say you

392
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 1: had leverage on me to this side and I can

393
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 1: throw so far away, that gives a guy like Matt

394
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 1: a good opportunity to know where the leverage is and

395
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:52,680
Speaker 1: put the ball far enough away that it can't get defended.

396
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:54,639
Speaker 1: And so I think when you have speed and length,

397
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 1: that's certainly why is it? You know with Coupier, you know,

398
00:17:57,960 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 1: here's a guy who's got this great length and size

399
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 1: you can throw away from somebody's leverage. You can throw

400
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:04,880
Speaker 1: it a little further away and don't have to be

401
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:08,159
Speaker 1: um as tight of a throw where somebody small and

402
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 1: compact man, it's you know almost fifty fifty. So having

403
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:14,879
Speaker 1: a guy with leverage um and real length that's a

404
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 1: big factor. Don't discuss chair being very well equipped to

405
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 1: defend when you grew back, who did go to seed

406
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:30,359
Speaker 1: in the line? Um? Well, I think one you better

407
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:32,359
Speaker 1: have enough length because there's going to be enough what

408
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:34,440
Speaker 1: we would call fifty fifty balls or wins it up.

409
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:38,199
Speaker 1: But that type of player in the NFL is a

410
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 1: big piece of how to defend players now because whether

411
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 1: it's pits or other tight ends that we're facing around

412
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:46,159
Speaker 1: the league. It's not you know, the traditional hand in

413
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:48,200
Speaker 1: the dirt tight end all the time anymore. So these

414
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 1: are guys that play up at all different spots, and

415
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 1: you have to have enough variety and different style of

416
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:55,359
Speaker 1: players to defend because one week you may have to

417
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 1: defend a player like him, and then another week it's

418
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 1: at you know, receiver or running back, and so each

419
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,119
Speaker 1: week there's kind of like some funkiness to go and

420
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 1: how do you match ups. It's one of the best

421
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:07,120
Speaker 1: parts of coach in the NFL because you're talking about

422
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 1: all these unique things that happened and how do you

423
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 1: defend them and how do you play them? And um,

424
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 1: I think they've done an excellent job of moving a

425
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 1: lot of their their pieces around. Stuns you've done in

426
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 1: the past. Stunts is that one done in the past?

427
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 1: Um No, I would say, yeah, that's always been a

428
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,680
Speaker 1: big pass rush wise. Yeah, no, not more. I would

429
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 1: say it's probably right on par with where we're at,

430
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:31,400
Speaker 1: and um, I still think there's a lot of room

431
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 1: for us to improve in that area. And um certainly

432
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,639
Speaker 1: law coming back makes all stunts look better, and so

433
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 1: eventually he'll be a part of that as well. So

434
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 1: all right, you guys, have a good one. All right,

435
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 1: thank you,
