1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:05,600
Speaker 1: Questions do you think he did in the game. He

2
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:07,120
Speaker 1: was fun.

3
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 2: I mean, he played hard, he was flying around. It

4
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 2: wasn't perfect some of the execution stuff, but just seeing him,

5
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:15,560
Speaker 2: like I're saying, just taking that next step to cut

6
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:17,439
Speaker 2: it loose, you saw that, so it was it was

7
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:19,880
Speaker 2: fun to see d get out there, get him playing

8
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 2: time and play fast and violent with him.

9
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 3: He's so fash.

10
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 4: I mean, is it you have to worry about playing

11
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 4: too fast sometimes he's kind of running beyond tackles things

12
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:32,240
Speaker 4: like that.

13
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 2: No, it's just assignments sometimes and just knowing where to

14
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 2: line up and just being in the right spots. Just details,

15
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 2: just like the fundamental details. And then once you have

16
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 2: that in that second nature, that's when you see him

17
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:45,559
Speaker 2: really flying and taking his shots.

18
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:47,560
Speaker 1: And we wanted to play like that just all the time.

19
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 2: So it's just how can we cut it loose like

20
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 2: that as consistently as possible.

21
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:53,519
Speaker 4: What do you see it?

22
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 3: From Bernardo Green on Saturday?

23
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 2: I saw a young kid that played a lot and

24
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 2: played two spots in the same game, playing nickel and corner,

25
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 2: and you know, it's really cool to see that he

26
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,960
Speaker 2: could handle that and played well. Again, it wasn't perfect,

27
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,559
Speaker 2: but some of the stuff he did was really competitive,

28
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,399
Speaker 2: and you know, getting that many snaps and being able

29
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 2: to do those two things was was awesome.

30
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 1: What are you seeing from Curtis Robinson this year?

31
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 2: Curtis Is he continues to get better. You know, he's

32
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 2: been here three years and he made some really big

33
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 2: plays for us. You know the play before the play

34
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 2: when Malick made that nice hit. He had the good

35
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:27,839
Speaker 2: tackle on the third down to keep it to fourth

36
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 2: and had another touchdown saving effort tackle on the screen

37
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 2: where they threw out that screen on the third and ten,

38
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 2: and you know, he had a mistackle and he starts

39
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 2: getting out of a couple tackles and he makes that tackle.

40
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 1: I think they might score.

41
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:43,960
Speaker 2: So the effort of him to make that play, get

42
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 2: off the block early and just fly across the field

43
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 2: held him to a field goal attempt and they missed

44
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 2: the field goal. So that and just command in the

45
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,639
Speaker 2: in the huddle was was good to see. It's Curtis

46
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 2: can play all three positions.

47
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: He had.

48
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 3: He had a good game, but the offense has been

49
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 3: a hit Carter by the injuries than maybe the defense has.

50
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 3: How does it hurt much to you that you're losing

51
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:10,079
Speaker 3: these Saints practices when you are fairly healthy on defense.

52
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think Kyle made the right choice.

53
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:14,959
Speaker 2: I think just situationally, I think it was kind of

54
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 2: a culmination of things, and you know, the decision was

55
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 2: about is it what's best for the team to make

56
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 2: us ready for week one, And I think it was

57
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 2: just the right decision And how he explained it to

58
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 2: everybody was exactly what he felt, and I think it

59
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 2: was the right choice.

60
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 4: You talked about malank with stuff.

61
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 3: What did you see from himnder in the first game?

62
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,799
Speaker 2: Someone who cut it loose the entire game and played

63
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:39,799
Speaker 2: physical the stuff that we saw on tape in college.

64
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:41,959
Speaker 1: Why we loved him. Really a violent player.

65
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 2: He played smart too, you know, as far as being

66
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 2: able to communicate, be in the right spots, but that

67
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 2: he didn't hesitate and played with the violent finishes that

68
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 2: you saw and everyone saw it was really cool.

69
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: Really, they had a good game. Beel got a lot

70
00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: of work.

71
00:02:57,760 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 3: How did you think he did?

72
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: Uh?

73
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 2: He made some nice plays. Wasn't perfect. I want him

74
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 2: just being more aggressive and just cutting it loose and

75
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 2: playing as fast and as violen as he can at

76
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 2: the line. Just every single time. But his effort was there,

77
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,079
Speaker 2: his finish was there. He made a couple of nice

78
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:16,920
Speaker 2: tackles that they probably would have got more yards if

79
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 2: he didn't. So he just needs to play more. That's

80
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:20,799
Speaker 2: just the bottom line. I think the more he plays,

81
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 2: the better he's going to get.

82
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,799
Speaker 3: Why do you guys like bigger defensive ends like two

83
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 3: seventy as opposed to like two forty.

84
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 2: Well, I mean you got to set an edge. I

85
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 2: mean if you can be bigger and still be fast

86
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 2: and still get to the quarterback, that's always a good thing, right.

87
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 2: I don't think it's always you're going to confine yourself

88
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 2: with you have to be the size always. You know,

89
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 2: if you can, you know, set an edge and knock

90
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 2: somebody back, knock a tackle back and set that edge

91
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 2: and you're at a different weight, and that's fine too.

92
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 2: We just it's more about how they fit the scheme

93
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 2: and you know you're going to do the right stuff

94
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 2: that we need to play good defense.

95
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 3: What would you say is your overall assessment of your

96
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 3: defense at this.

97
00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: Point right now?

98
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 2: It's I would say it's good, and we're continuing to

99
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 2: get better. I love our energy. I think we can

100
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 2: always compete more. I think we've taken the ball away.

101
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 2: I feel like we could have taken it more in

102
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 2: the game. We just got the one. I know we

103
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 2: had the two fourth down stops, which we love to

104
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 2: count those as you know, turnover on downs. I'd like

105
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 2: how we're playing aggressive and we're communicating well depth wise. Really,

106
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 2: even the young guys and the new guys. My favorite

107
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 2: part is how our guys compete and how they're getting

108
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 2: closer together as a unit, because we did have a

109
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,839
Speaker 2: lot of new guys, so what's exciting is how much

110
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 2: they're gravitating towards each other and really making this defense

111
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 2: their own. Apprucially, you guys want have kept nine or

112
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 2: ten defensive lineman gone a heavy dels.

113
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 3: Was your kind of comfort level with that group right now?

114
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 2: And do do you feel like you have that many

115
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:44,599
Speaker 2: guys who would be you know, fifty three.

116
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 1: I think we'll find out.

117
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 2: I think they're competing, and you know, it's it's a

118
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 2: competitive group. I think really on all three levels, it's

119
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 2: really competitive. So I think, however the numbers sort out,

120
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 2: we're gonna have the best number of guys that we

121
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 2: need for week one. Really, it's never every year is

122
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,839
Speaker 2: a little bit different. So it's hey, if we've got

123
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 2: this many linebackers or DB's or d lineman, you kind

124
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,160
Speaker 2: of just make that choice based on who's separating themselves

125
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 2: and where we think that this guy's the best for

126
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 2: our team.

127
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:18,280
Speaker 4: Along those lines, Davis's injury seems to open up an opportunity.

128
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 4: How are Brown and Anderson position?

129
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,160
Speaker 2: First off, that sucks for I mean, Khalil was having

130
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 2: an awesome camp. He really had a heck an off season.

131
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 2: Just talking to him, he was excited for him. It

132
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 2: was I talked with him. It was about being consistent

133
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 2: and being who he is all the time. I know

134
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,040
Speaker 2: he'd had some injuries in the past, but I loved

135
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 2: how he was playing. I was so fired up for him,

136
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 2: and it was every day. And he has good energy too,

137
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 2: so he was It wasn't just his mindset and how

138
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 2: he is as a person and how he was as

139
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,720
Speaker 2: a player, but he was playing good too, So I

140
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 2: was bummed about it. But to know that he can

141
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 2: come back and we'll come back, and talking to him

142
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 2: yesterday on the phone too, like he knows that you know,

143
00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:59,839
Speaker 2: come back stronger and now it's the next man up,

144
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:03,599
Speaker 2: just like any position. So with those guys step up, right,

145
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 2: it's their opportunity to.

146
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 1: Show us what you have.

147
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 2: You have two more weeks, two more preseason games, and

148
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 2: as good as Khalia was doing, let's see someone else,

149
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 2: you know, step up be that consistent. How fast can

150
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 2: I you know, grow in this system and do it

151
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:16,840
Speaker 2: the right way? To be aggressive?

152
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 1: It is not ready for a week one. You feel

153
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: pretty confident saying George Jordan would be the starter.

154
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 2: I mean, he's done the heck of a job. He's

155
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 2: gotten the ball a lot, you know. Don't rule any

156
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 2: competition out or set anything in stone. We do have

157
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,359
Speaker 2: time left. But Gi has done an awesome job, so

158
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 2: his tig, so is Malick. All the guys that we have.

159
