1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,480 Speaker 1: Now we had a we had a huge win. Uh Saturday. 2 00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:04,360 Speaker 1: I was in my bed, I mean my bed, my couch, 3 00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:07,520 Speaker 1: right at twelve, right until three fifty when we beat 4 00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:13,200 Speaker 1: perdue at home. A big win. Um last after last 5 00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:14,640 Speaker 1: week game, a lot of the guys that second talked 6 00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:17,239 Speaker 1: about communication issues. What did you guys do in practice 7 00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:19,800 Speaker 1: this past week and how did that improve yesterday? Obviously 8 00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:24,439 Speaker 1: communication was great because of the game. Yeah, I think 9 00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:27,120 Speaker 1: we took away where we felt short last game in 10 00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:29,840 Speaker 1: terms of communication and stepped it up in practice this week. 11 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:32,879 Speaker 1: We weren't horrible in last game, but it was some 12 00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:34,920 Speaker 1: critical moments where we didn't get it across. So we 13 00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:37,840 Speaker 1: talked about eye contact every play and it carried over. 14 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:39,440 Speaker 1: How much of it is on you to be the 15 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:42,440 Speaker 1: communicator back there? I mean is is most of that 16 00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:46,800 Speaker 1: on on you? Yeah, I mean it's a sair job, 17 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,560 Speaker 1: but it's on me identitive. If communication doesn't get across, 18 00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:51,680 Speaker 1: you look at me and say why didn't you communicate? 19 00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:53,280 Speaker 1: You know, I mean I gotta kind of start it 20 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 1: most of the time. First career pick. Do you have 21 00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:58,640 Speaker 1: the ball that you keep in yeah, yeah, it's in 22 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,720 Speaker 1: my locker right now, hucked away, locked up, so no 23 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,080 Speaker 1: way I could touch it and I plan on I 24 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 1: think most people like paint it or something after you 25 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:11,039 Speaker 1: get it, so I'm trying to get that done. What 26 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,039 Speaker 1: was up the turnover? Do you guys have like a 27 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 1: turnover chain? After I had no idea where that came from, 28 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 1: like yeah, yeah, Ray Ray took it from the crowd 29 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:22,400 Speaker 1: and he was like forcing it over my helmet and 30 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,319 Speaker 1: I'm like, Bro, I just hold it because it's not 31 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 1: making it over there. But yeah, I had a chain 32 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,200 Speaker 1: in my hand somehow. have to. It's just gonna think 33 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,280 Speaker 1: to be can change is season. Once you guys started 34 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 1: getting the picts and forces bumbles and this is it 35 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 1: gonna mushroom, so to speak. From my experience, that's kind 36 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,120 Speaker 1: of how it goes. Like once it starts, it just 37 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 1: takes one person to kind of like break the seal 38 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 1: and then they start flooding in. I feel like that's 39 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 1: that's my experience. With turnovers. Six stakeaways this year, I 40 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 1: mean only three fewer, and you guys had all the 41 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 1: last year and you guys know coming into the season 42 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 1: you had the potential will be that kind of defense 43 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 1: you can just consistently get the ball. Yeah, I mean 44 00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 1: we have that type of personnel. Everyone's background is takeaways, 45 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 1: like from front to back is like everyone Josh Allen 46 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 1: sack fumbles. You Got Devin Lloyd who has ball skills, 47 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 1: and so we got a bunch of guys like that. 48 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 1: So you expect it to happen. Get a good example 49 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 1: of how pass Russian coverage can kind of impact each other. 50 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 1: Just to coverage. You're not kind of helping get some 51 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 1: of the situations where you guys can go get the ball? Yeah, absolutely. 52 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 1: I mean we watched it on film just now and 53 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 1: you can see like every time there was a big 54 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 1: play on the ball, it was because there's pressure up front. 55 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,920 Speaker 1: How much competitiveness is there amongst the defensive group on 56 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,119 Speaker 1: WHO's going to get those takeaways? I mean there's got 57 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 1: to be a little friendly trash talking now that you 58 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:32,960 Speaker 1: got one race and got one towards the guys that 59 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 1: they haven't got their hands on yet. Yeah, it's a 60 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 1: little bit. It's always a little bit attention in that aspect, 61 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 1: but it's friendly. It's definitely friendly. Um, I think Tyson 62 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:42,919 Speaker 1: that brought it up, like okay, who like who? We're 63 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 1: in a race now and I'm like just tell Bro 64 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:52,639 Speaker 1: but well, yeah, but you know who have, who you guys? Oh, yeah, yeah, 65 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,400 Speaker 1: we uh, but you know, it's it's only week two. So, 66 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 1: I mean we're fortunate to have as many as we have. 67 00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 1: You know, right now. What sort of personality is I mean, 68 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 1: when you start getting the takeaways, defense kind of starts 69 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,960 Speaker 1: to develop their own personalities and things like that. I mean, 70 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,240 Speaker 1: what sort of personality is this group kind of really 71 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 1: developing at this appointment? It's only two games in the season, 72 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 1: but pitch a shutout one week two. That's pretty good. Yeah, 73 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 1: I think. I mean that's, like I said, that's part 74 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,080 Speaker 1: of our identity. That's kind of how we see ourselves. 75 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,799 Speaker 1: Is Like a defense that takes the ball the way and, Um, 76 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 1: that can rely on that. Like if you have some 77 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 1: bleeding on the field where you know you getting a 78 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 1: drive going, we can end it right away with the takeaway, 79 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 1: and I think that's, uh, what we're looking forward to 80 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:31,640 Speaker 1: doing and how we molding ourselves. Were disappointed was this 81 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 1: team overall this week? I mean thirteen penalties. Last week 82 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 1: I think just three. We wiped out a bunch of 83 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 1: the long weeks. I think it's about focus, Um, and 84 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 1: being in practice putting yourself in a situation like these. 85 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 1: Reps really matter and, Um, I think that's I think 86 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 1: that's the best way to limit penalties like we did. 87 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 1: Peterson gambles on fourth dam as much as he does 88 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 1: the defense. Take that as a confidence that, okay, we 89 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 1: don't get this, those guys we're gonna be down deep 90 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 1: and those guys are gonna make it fun. Absolutely, I 91 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 1: love it. I'm like when, when it's went through, we're 92 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 1: all like go, go, go, go, like because it's just like, 93 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 1: you know, we we believe that we're gonna stop the offense, obviously, 94 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 1: and then we also have a ton of faith in 95 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 1: our offense that they're gonna get the first down. You know, 96 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 1: it's good. It's good for just telling you is a defense. 97 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 1: I trust you guys that if this doesn't work, you're 98 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,720 Speaker 1: gonna have them deep and you're gonna make it fun. 99 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 1: Does he tell us that you? Oh, yeah, yeah, no, 100 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 1: most most definitely. Most definitely. That's definitely the the kind 101 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:26,360 Speaker 1: of what I received from that is, like, you know, 102 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 1: they're maybe forty five. Not a great place to be 103 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 1: going for fourth down if you look at it from 104 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:33,920 Speaker 1: the outside in. But Um, you know, when you got 105 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 1: a defense that you trust. You you're comfortable doing stuff 106 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 1: like that. What was the energy like in the stadium 107 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 1: yesterday before it being the first home game, division game, 108 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 1: and just how did the fans kind of react? They 109 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 1: reacted really well. I mean I feel like they got 110 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:49,920 Speaker 1: behind US early after that first takeaway and they rode 111 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,359 Speaker 1: through roll with us throughout the whole game, even throughout 112 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,680 Speaker 1: the rain. I feel like people was all hiding in 113 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 1: the back. I feel like there was all still outside 114 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 1: cheering us on. So it was dope. It was good 115 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 1: to see what sort of game was from Mike Colbell. 116 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 1: It's only a second game as a defensive coordinator. That's 117 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:06,720 Speaker 1: a big first one. We talked about it to me, 118 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:08,279 Speaker 1: you know, we gave him a game ball. It was 119 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 1: like shut out, first win. That's a big time. So 120 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 1: shout out to coach. He did a really good job react. 121 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 1: gave him the game ball. He's just smiling and trying 122 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 1: to be humble, but uh, we know Um that. You 123 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 1: know it's it's a big accomplishment for the first time. 124 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 1: D C. We do care if they if they had 125 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 1: gotten in late and it wasn't shut out. was that 126 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:28,599 Speaker 1: like we have to get this shot out. Now we 127 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 1: had to get that shut out. I think Um, somebody 128 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,160 Speaker 1: that brought to me, like don't you start taking out 129 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 1: the starters, like like my uncle or somebody asked me 130 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:36,360 Speaker 1: that and I was like not when you're trying to 131 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,360 Speaker 1: get a shut out like you're trying. Once you you 132 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 1: that close to leaving zero on the board, you you 133 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 1: don't want to give that up. You got pretty good 134 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,480 Speaker 1: quarterback on the charges that you have to start preparing 135 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,680 Speaker 1: for at this point. When you think about Justin Herbert 136 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 1: and you think about some of the receivers and weapons 137 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,599 Speaker 1: they have on that offense, what kind of goes through 138 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:57,040 Speaker 1: your mind? A big week for the secondary Um, you 139 00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 1: got a lot of weapons on the outside and a 140 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 1: quarterback that can make all the rold. So is that simple? 141 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 1: I mean you come across that every week in the league, 142 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:09,279 Speaker 1: but this week especially. Thanks appreciate Johnson.
