1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,080
Speaker 1: During the bye week, you go back in your review

2
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 1: everything you've done and you take out the good and

3
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:06,960
Speaker 1: you study the bad and try to find a way

4
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:09,880
Speaker 1: to correct the bad. And what we see is just

5
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:13,800
Speaker 1: going back to the basics, getting guys doing what they

6
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:15,600
Speaker 1: what we did from day one in camp as far

7
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 1: as running off the ball, maintaining the gaps, and playing coverage.

8
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 1: So that's really what the bye week is about, just

9
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:26,119
Speaker 1: going back in kind of self scout yourself in trying

10
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:28,480
Speaker 1: to come up with ways to improve. Can help a

11
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 1: guy like Devin Lloyd, who coach Peterson said might be

12
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 1: hitting sort of a rookie wall um in the ladder

13
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 1: portion of the season. Can I help a guy out

14
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 1: like that? I think so anytime you're going back to

15
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 1: what you're doing, like in NFL, you game playing weekly.

16
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:45,839
Speaker 1: Different opponents cause different problems, so you want to go

17
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 1: out there and try to put yourself in best position

18
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 1: to stop that team. But then you all always have

19
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: to go back in understand that we have an identity,

20
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 1: we need to stick to that. And I think that's

21
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 1: what the bye week did got us back to, al Right,

22
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 1: here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna you know, still

23
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 1: game plan, but we're gonna mainly focus on ourselves, correcting

24
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 1: ourselves our mistakes and go from there as much as

25
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,040
Speaker 1: Chad movement arrest to the point that you know, the

26
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: Dark said earlier, he's gonna probably split time that. Yeah,

27
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: he's done a great job because of he came in

28
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 1: early on in the season, got a bunch of reps,

29
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: and you know, you see it at practice when he

30
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 1: does get a rep, it's what he's supposed to do.

31
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: And you see him making plays on special teams. You

32
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 1: see him making plays when he gets opportunities on defense.

33
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,759
Speaker 1: So we just want to see more of that. Devon's

34
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,680
Speaker 1: heads just swimming a little bit. I don't think it's

35
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 1: heads swimming. I think Devin uh, he's making plays for us.

36
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 1: But there are some things that you know, every rookie

37
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 1: goes through it, and you're gonna gonna keep battling and

38
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: get his opportunities to go out there and you know,

39
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: continue to make plays. What type of player is Lamar Jackson,

40
00:01:53,800 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: He's uh, outstanding quarterbacks contain a quarterback with his particular

41
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: skill set. That's the thing. He's a quarterback that does

42
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 1: have a skill set that typical quarterbacks don't have. And

43
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,919
Speaker 1: it's it's tough because you have to have enough guys

44
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 1: on the field that can catch him, and the guys

45
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 1: on the field that are bigger than him have to

46
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 1: be able to understand how to keep him in the

47
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,119
Speaker 1: pocket and not let him get out there. So it's

48
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 1: a challenge. You you face it. But we'll have a

49
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 1: plan on how we want to rush him, how we

50
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,359
Speaker 1: want to try to contain him and go do it

51
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 1: that that that's the thing. We got to eleven and

52
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 1: we're gonna use all eleven at one time. Coach, I mean,

53
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: just how much influence did he really have on you?

54
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: It was a great influence. Um, he's a guy I

55
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 1: was thinkinghen we got together with his first year as

56
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 1: a coach and I was his well special teams captain

57
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: and we kind of had a bond and it was

58
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: he's a true player's coach and he says, uh, something

59
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: that always got me going, And it was just what

60
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 1: he meant, how how he cared about his players, and

61
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 1: how he went about being energetic and trying to get

62
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 1: the best out of you. And it's stuck with me.

63
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: And he's a guy that you know we talk. Um,

64
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,799
Speaker 1: I've looked up to and you know, happy to see him,

65
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 1: but you know, we gotta go there and get a victory.

66
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 1: I got to come here just a little off topic,

67
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: but Fred Taylor semifinallence with a Hall of Fame? Do

68
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: you have any memories of playing against him? I really don't,

69
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: And that's a good thing because, yeah, but he's uh,

70
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: he's a guy that as coaches and former players, you

71
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: sitting around in the locker room and you say, like

72
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: he should have been in a long time ago because

73
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: you remember the type of player he was and the

74
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: amount of great things he did. And at the defensive player,

75
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,119
Speaker 1: there are certain guys that, yeah, you like to play

76
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: every week. Then the other guy that you look on

77
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: the schedule, Okay, I'm glad I'm missing him this week,

78
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: and he was one of those guys. How difficult is

79
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: it going up against a quarterback like Lamar but also

80
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: a tied in like Mark Andrews and the things that

81
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 1: that they can do with just those two players. That's

82
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 1: the thing about that combination there. You know you always

83
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: talk about a quarterback receiver combination. His top guy is

84
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,359
Speaker 1: a tight end and they do things really well. So

85
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: it's gonna be tough because he looks for him. It's

86
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 1: like a quarterback looks for the number one receiver. He

87
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,039
Speaker 1: looks for him. Man, he's a big target, and you

88
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 1: know it'll be a tough day for us. We'll have

89
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 1: our work cutout for us. You always talking about stopping

90
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: the running game first, to stop in the running game

91
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,039
Speaker 1: this week against the team with so much misdirection where

92
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 1: they'll do a lot of different things, handing the ball

93
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: off kind of take a different meaning or almost have

94
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: a different level of importance. It's important every week, but

95
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: this week even more so because, like you said, the

96
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 1: type of running game it is, and we preach discipline

97
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 1: all the time. This week you better be disciplined because

98
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 1: if you're out of your gap or you're not in

99
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 1: the right spot, you don't have the right fit. You know,

100
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 1: he's dynamic enough to hit a long one, and that's

101
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,479
Speaker 1: something you don't want to do. But you know, just

102
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: going back to the basics, focus, focusing and on gap, discipline,

103
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: staying in your lane, and you know, getting off blocks

104
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 1: and getting a bunch of people to the ball. You know,

105
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: that's how defense is supposed to be played, and that's

106
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 1: how we play it. And you know, we go out

107
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 1: there and do our best. The past rusher kind of

108
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:20,839
Speaker 1: slowed down over the last couple of weeks. Is was

109
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:22,359
Speaker 1: there something when you look back at it at the

110
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 1: bye week that you can kind of do differently to

111
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,159
Speaker 1: kind of spark it down the stretch? Really? Uh, we

112
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 1: put it back on them, like there are guys that

113
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 1: have pass rush ability and can get after the quarterback,

114
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 1: and we're like, we're gonna go back to the basics,

115
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 1: continue to jump off the ball up front. And those guys, Uh,

116
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 1: they know it and I think they want to do it,

117
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 1: and the sacks haven't come, so they're gonna continue to

118
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,279
Speaker 1: work on it. And you know, they come in bunches

119
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 1: and hopefully we'll get a bunch
