Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought they were outstanding, you know, especially after
Speaker 1: that first drive where they just went right down the
Speaker 1: fielding with avy yards and you know it's seven nothing,
Speaker 1: you know, right off the bat kind of neutralized the
Speaker 1: crowd kind of hushed everybody up, and then I think
Speaker 1: they only had one hundred and sixty yards after that.
Speaker 1: I think our defense, you know, the rush um, the
Speaker 1: ability to get to elag which is difficult. You know,
Speaker 1: going into this, they'd only given up short amount of
Speaker 1: sacks and they only turned the ball over, you know,
Speaker 1: not very much either, so for us to come up with,
Speaker 1: you know, Nolan's kit pick was big. Um. I thought
Speaker 1: the play by Demiko Ryant on the interception really kind
Speaker 1: of stemmed the tie because they were moving the ball
Speaker 1: again on that drive and then uh, you know, Demiko
Speaker 1: made a nice play on the on the wheel route
Speaker 1: kind of knocked the ball up. But I thought, I
Speaker 1: thought our defense played outstanding all game long. Think change
Speaker 1: for that first drive now, I mean not call wise
Speaker 1: or anything like that. I just think our guys settled
Speaker 1: down and again I think that interception by h Demiko
Speaker 1: I think was kind of and that kind of almost
Speaker 1: everybody took a deep breath. All right, let's go when
Speaker 1: then then the rush started getting there. Then the next
Speaker 1: next series we got Nolan on the interception for a touchdown,
Speaker 1: and then our guys really started playing. I thought, yeah,
Speaker 1: I do. I mean, I think they played. But again,
Speaker 1: besides the opening glove, I thought our defense played outstanding
Speaker 1: all game long. You get a sense Demico is motivated
Speaker 1: by the fact that need Jordan Hicks is getting a
Speaker 1: lot of attention and you know, goes to the better room,
Speaker 1: and do you think he's maybe motivated by that by
Speaker 1: the younger guy? Now, I think Demiko's motivated twenty four seven.
Speaker 1: You know he's and I've said it before, he's our mufassa.
Speaker 1: He's the leader of our defense, he's leader this football team. Uh,
Speaker 1: he's motivated every day. Were around him, every second I'm
Speaker 1: around the guy. So um, he's been the number leagable
Speaker 1: mentor to to Jordan, and there's no one that wants
Speaker 1: to see Jordan succeed Morton Demiko. So I don't think
Speaker 1: that motivates him. I just think that's just the type
Speaker 1: of guy he is. He comes to let me any turnovers.
Speaker 1: How can say him? Bradford get better him? We had
Speaker 1: some miscommunication today, you know, on a couple of routes
Speaker 1: where um, the quarterback and the receiver weren't on the
Speaker 1: same page. But UM, we have to clean that up,
Speaker 1: you know, and we we've talked about that. UM, he's
Speaker 1: getting more familiar in terms of what we're doing. UM,
Speaker 1: you know, but we can't you know, we can't continue
Speaker 1: to do that, you know, and against really good football teams.
Speaker 1: We were fortunate that that we did it and got
Speaker 1: away with it today, but it's not gonna in this league.
Speaker 1: You can't do that and uh, sustain things, can sustain winning.
Speaker 1: So we really got to clean that up on the
Speaker 1: offensive side of the balls. Communication, it's on both, it's
Speaker 1: on both, depending on you know, sometimes we're reading coverages
Speaker 1: and routes are supposed to work in a certain way.
Speaker 1: So it's it's not all on Sam, it's on both
Speaker 1: of Sam's developments in the system. I don't have an answer,
Speaker 1: you know, on a continuum answer. I just know he
Speaker 1: needs to improve and we all need to improve on
Speaker 1: the offensive side of the ball. I think, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: we're starting to run the ball better as a group. Um,
Speaker 1: we hit him with some good play action passes. They
Speaker 1: really got some big chunk place for us. You know.
Speaker 1: Obviously the first touchdown to Coube, Um, we hit him,
Speaker 1: hit Miles on a nice seam route. Um, we're doing
Speaker 1: some good things, but we have to be able to finish,
Speaker 1: especially in the red zone. How are you to get
Speaker 1: into Marco going in the second hand? I think our
Speaker 1: offensive line is starting to really you know, come together
Speaker 1: as a group, and and uh, you know, the one
Speaker 1: thing about DeMarco, he's a downhill, physical runner, runs behind
Speaker 1: his pads. You know, if we can get him started,
Speaker 1: and I think we started to get a little push
Speaker 1: at the line of scrimmage, you know, and then get
Speaker 1: him to the second level, he can run through a
Speaker 1: lot of harm tackles and Um, obviously it was really
Speaker 1: good to see him get going today as they had
Speaker 1: that roughing the kicker kind of league and you guys
Speaker 1: came back out you were able to score right there
Speaker 1: where You think that men for your momentum there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it helped. You know obviously, I think, you know, we
Speaker 1: we got stalled on that drive, but then you get
Speaker 1: the penalty. You know, they ran in and we knew
Speaker 1: they were a big rush team. Anyways, it was a
Speaker 1: good job by Donnie getting the ball off, because that's
Speaker 1: a tough group to block. They get a lot of
Speaker 1: big guys on their special teams, um, you know. So
Speaker 1: for the fact that we could capitalize on that, I
Speaker 1: thought was big and then that was a deal. We
Speaker 1: think we capitalized, you know, whether it be the penalty
Speaker 1: or their turnovers, you know, we capitalize and score points.
Speaker 1: And then when when we turned it over again, credit
Speaker 1: our defense, our defense, we didn't give up any points
Speaker 1: after we turned it over. I thought our defense at
Speaker 1: a great job in their response after the turnover at
Speaker 1: the end of the first half two timeouts. I tell you,
Speaker 1: if you complete a pass to the nineteen with thirty
Speaker 1: three seconds to go, one all the time out there
Speaker 1: instead of because we were trying to save it, and
Speaker 1: then we took a sack, you know, because again receiver
Speaker 1: ran a wrong route, so Sam is expecting the receiver
Speaker 1: to do something else. So we were just weren't on
Speaker 1: the right page. So I wanted to get away with
Speaker 1: just a field goal there. Let's let's take the points
Speaker 1: and let's get in a half time and get the
Speaker 1: thing straightened out. But there was a miscommunication on the
Speaker 1: on the route before that and there was a miscommunication
Speaker 1: on the one that he took a sack on. Wait. Look, no,
Speaker 1: during the week, you didn't really get into how important
Speaker 1: this game was other than one game, but being it's
Speaker 1: the first win in the division, it's a game that
Speaker 1: really kind of set in the season back on the
Speaker 1: right way. How important was this? Every game is important?
Speaker 1: I mean, so it's not every single game you play
Speaker 1: is important. At the end of the year, what you
Speaker 1: final record, you can't say what We lost that one,
Speaker 1: but it wasn't that important. Every game is is important
Speaker 1: and that's what we talk about. So we have a
Speaker 1: huge one coming up. Whatever you want, Howard, Every game
Speaker 1: is important when we're trying to win, So we don't.
Speaker 1: I don't go in and say, hey, it's an AFC opponent,
Speaker 1: let's just take it easy this week because it doesn't count.
Speaker 1: They all count at the end of the day. They
Speaker 1: all count, you know. So this is it's flyve full go,
Speaker 1: and we're getting ready to go play Carolina. We're not
Speaker 1: gonna say it's not a division opponent, so let's kick
Speaker 1: our feet up and take it easy this week. In practice,
Speaker 1: we got we gotta get ready against real good football team.
Speaker 1: This week Brandy grating curing a lot of pressure they
Speaker 1: did before they did. You know, I think a lot
Speaker 1: of times with what they do because they get the
Speaker 1: ball out quick, or they're releasing five guys into the route,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of single, single blocks going across the front.
Speaker 1: So obviously it becomes a matchup with our d line
Speaker 1: against our oline. And I thought, I thought Vinnie played
Speaker 1: really well. I thought Fletch played really I thought all
Speaker 1: those guys, you know, I thought, right, you know, it
Speaker 1: was good to see that. And then you know, the
Speaker 1: one thing you have to do to disrupt the rhythm
Speaker 1: and timing because the balls out so quick is get
Speaker 1: a push in the pass rush. And I thought we
Speaker 1: did that reception that was thrown into the end zone.
Speaker 1: What are you seeing on us? We had a match up,
Speaker 1: you know, we felt like we had earths on the
Speaker 1: safety and it was the ball was just a little
Speaker 1: bit behind him. But you know, as we were going,
Speaker 1: that's what we were trying to do, that was what
Speaker 1: the play call was, That's what we're trying to do.
Speaker 1: But the ball just looked like it was a little
Speaker 1: bit behind him. From more I saw him, I think
Speaker 1: no place coverage wise, what did you do better? I
Speaker 1: think we we we were on to a combination of
Speaker 1: both things. I think it's the pass rush and in
Speaker 1: terms of what they do, the balls out quick, and
Speaker 1: so then we talked about if the ball is out
Speaker 1: quick and it's completely we got to tackle, and I
Speaker 1: thought we tackled better on the back end between the
Speaker 1: receivers and the quarterbacks. The city. Is that happening in
Speaker 1: a little bit of an alarming rate for you at
Speaker 1: this point in the season. Anytime we're not on the
Speaker 1: right page, then we're concerned. Can you trace them? This
Speaker 1: communication is from the sideline going in? Is just is
Speaker 1: that word is or when you've had these guys together
Speaker 1: to spring, Yeah, we know that. Well, it's not one
Speaker 1: specific thing. It's not always the same thing. So it's
Speaker 1: not just hey, this happened, so let's correct it. At
Speaker 1: one point time, it's a receiver. At the other point
Speaker 1: in time, we didn't get it. You know, we'll get
Speaker 1: it communicated. So it's it's it's a it's a group
Speaker 1: of guys. So we got to get it straightened out.
Speaker 1: Thanks guys. H
