Speaker 1: Plan change this time around against la given Cooper and Cookery.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's add those two guys. It was tough
Speaker 2: last time.
Speaker 3: Obviously they beat us, got us with some explosives in
Speaker 3: the second half. I mean, they're obviously great players. The
Speaker 3: scheme is, you know, really good. They're not the only
Speaker 3: two good players on that team. I think the scheme
Speaker 3: and the skill players that they have that just goes
Speaker 3: really well together.
Speaker 1: By what Tolnoa brings from a communication aspect against especially
Speaker 1: against the run on.
Speaker 2: The back end. Yeah, just everything.
Speaker 3: You know that that's always the thing that you want
Speaker 3: out of your safety, these guys that communicate. I mean,
Speaker 3: it's it's huge, and he brings it. I mean he's
Speaker 3: always been really good communicating, you know, to hear from
Speaker 3: the back end. You know, Fred's obviously doing a ton
Speaker 3: of communicating too. But as many people as that can
Speaker 3: be talking, it helps, especially when they're on it and
Speaker 3: it's quick and it's fast and it's decisive. It gets
Speaker 3: us in the same call. We're good to go. And
Speaker 3: he's one of the best.
Speaker 4: The tangible effect and immediately.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, you can feel it right away.
Speaker 5: Yeah, up on them early like you were against the
Speaker 5: Bears and had like three nineteen to four. I think
Speaker 5: it was in yard is to force all those three
Speaker 5: and outs. There's some gratification for you in there that, Alright,
Speaker 5: this is what everybody's on their assignments.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I think we always felt that's always been the standard,
Speaker 3: you know. And I mean, are we gonna finish the
Speaker 3: game giving up eight yards? Probably not, but I mean
Speaker 3: it's that's always the goal. To be better on third
Speaker 3: down in red zone, that's what's been showing up. So
Speaker 3: I think the key for that was being good on
Speaker 3: first and second down and then finishing it on third down.
Speaker 3: We've been close so many times and you don't realize
Speaker 3: when you go When you go back, you see how
Speaker 3: many times drives get extended. So when you can actually
Speaker 3: get off on third down and then our offense goes
Speaker 3: and scores, and then we do it again and then
Speaker 3: they score, you know, that's the whole complimentary part of
Speaker 3: the game. And momentum is real, and I mean the
Speaker 3: guy's executed. Our guys played really hard, really proud of
Speaker 3: how they played, you know.
Speaker 4: Emo obviously he spoke to the team last week, and
Speaker 4: all of them have been vocal about the fact that
Speaker 4: it really helped. It helped the click when you watched
Speaker 4: his maturation over the years and knowing him as a
Speaker 4: leader out there on the field. How much bhoo effect
Speaker 4: does he have on the defense when you watch him
Speaker 4: out there and are guys watching him to kind of
Speaker 4: find their momentum or find their spark?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think when any good player, those guys are
Speaker 3: that's who people look at, whether it's vocal or it's
Speaker 3: just leading by example. And I think you know the
Speaker 3: way that Demo plays and how effective he's been and
Speaker 3: how much success he's had, it's he's grown over time,
Speaker 3: he's worked. So it's you instantly gained respect for players
Speaker 3: like that, whether it's your teammate, you know, whether you're
Speaker 3: coaching 'em. So all good players, people wanna hear when
Speaker 3: you have something to say, and I think he had
Speaker 3: something to say and it was it was good. It
Speaker 3: carries a lot of weight when it comes from guys
Speaker 3: like that, and everybody respects.
Speaker 5: Him in a football sense. Are there any Are there
Speaker 5: any comps for Demo? Does anybody else in the league
Speaker 5: do what he does in terms of nickel outside back
Speaker 5: and forth.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what we I it's it's not you don't,
Speaker 3: it's not very kind. And that's why, you know, he's
Speaker 3: a special player. And it's it's cool that he can
Speaker 3: do that, you know, and he accepts it and there
Speaker 3: was no hesitation and it's tough to do. But I
Speaker 3: don't there's not many I know Jayalen Ramsey has done that,
Speaker 3: and he's been a guy that's you know, been able
Speaker 3: to play nickel and move around and track and follow
Speaker 3: guys and play outside.
Speaker 2: But there's not a ton.
Speaker 1: He's particularly hot right now.
Speaker 2: What makes him uniquely difficult.
Speaker 3: To defend him, He's just he's a tough football player.
Speaker 3: Some guys are just competitive. You know, he's got size,
Speaker 3: he doesn't go down easy. Some some things you can't measure,
Speaker 3: and he's just got it. You know, he's he's doing
Speaker 3: the right things. He's moving, you know, Like I said,
Speaker 3: these skill players really fit the scheme really well, and
Speaker 3: I think he understands that. But he's got good body control,
Speaker 3: catch radius. You know, he's got just good athletic skill.
Speaker 3: But you know, marry that with the toughness that he has.
Speaker 3: He refused to go down. He's just a good all
Speaker 3: around football player.
Speaker 5: A fun film for you guys to watch and you
Speaker 5: and the other coaches who look at this game. I
Speaker 5: know it was a total team after on defense, but
Speaker 5: was there any individual that really stood out to you
Speaker 5: on the rewatch?
Speaker 3: You go through it quick, you don't spend as much
Speaker 3: time because of the short week, so it wasn't like
Speaker 3: you can sit there. And I mean I literally go
Speaker 3: right after the game into this one. So I mean
Speaker 3: a lot of guys played well. I mean there's so
Speaker 3: many good, big situations. I mean all the sacks to
Speaker 3: see e Tour get three sacks and I think Leonard
Speaker 3: got two and Maliite got one, and it's just but
Speaker 3: really that whole rush plan, how it worked together. Those
Speaker 3: guys were tied together, and I think it was a
Speaker 3: big rushing coverage game that was kind of our plan.
Speaker 3: And if we needed the pressure, we would based on
Speaker 3: how the quarterback was moving around. But I think it
Speaker 3: was just a team effort and that's what it needed
Speaker 3: to be. That's what it needs to be every week
Speaker 3: really and being tied together, and then you add the
Speaker 3: offense and the special teams together.
Speaker 2: Then it's complimentary about.
Speaker 1: Wanting vengeance for this game after the game on Sunday,
Speaker 1: given that you guys had lost the lead and that
Speaker 1: was your first game as a DC in that kind
Speaker 1: of situation. Did you take that personally after that game
Speaker 1: or did it stick with you a little bit longer.
Speaker 2: Than the first RAMS game. I take all losses personally.
Speaker 3: I mean, truthfully, you never want to be losing it
Speaker 3: at the end, but I mean it's all about wins
Speaker 3: and losses.
Speaker 2: Do you think that.
Speaker 1: Guys will play with a little bit more vengeance given
Speaker 1: how that game was lost and they.
Speaker 2: Are a division run. I think our guys are focused regardless.
Speaker 5: I don't.
Speaker 3: I mean, we know the importance, We know the importance
Speaker 3: of this last game. I think it's our guys will
Speaker 3: be focused and you know it's it's a big game
Speaker 3: because it's our next.
Speaker 2: It really is
