1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,880
Speaker 1: With your process when you have the buy week, just

2
00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:06,240
Speaker 1: to get ready and make sure you're sharp for the

3
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:09,760
Speaker 1: first round of the playoffs for your first game. I

4
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:12,159
Speaker 1: think Kyle kind of set it up well for us.

5
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:17,439
Speaker 1: We had a couple of days off to get feeling good,

6
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 1: and then the game obviously wasn't too much for me.

7
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:24,560
Speaker 1: I think I had like five plays, so yeah, I

8
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 1: got a little time there, and then we have two

9
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:32,840
Speaker 1: solid practices to felt good and fresh. Today, just work

10
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 1: on our stuff a little bit, and then tomorrow will

11
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 1: be pads and then we'll have another.

12
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:39,480
Speaker 2: Two days off.

13
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 1: So I think it's a perfect perfect mix of getting

14
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: fresh but also staying sharp.

15
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:49,480
Speaker 3: Watching the games this weekend. Will you have any rooting

16
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,559
Speaker 3: interest maybe for Tamiko or any other teams?

17
00:00:53,000 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely for Damiko. Only talk to McDaniel a couple

18
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 1: of times.

19
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 2: Yeah.

20
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 1: No Other than that, just see who we're playing.

21
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 3: An early scouting at all when you're watching the game

22
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 3: kind of as a fan.

23
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I've seen a lot of these teams already,

24
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 1: especially the NFC, so uh now just watching and enjoy

25
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: not beating my body up for a week. I could

26
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: get a bigger role here in his first couple of

27
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: playoff games.

28
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 2: Have you seen a change in him, just, you know, as.

29
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 4: He's gotten more accustomed to the defense since he's gotten here.

30
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's gonna have to play more. All the ends

31
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: are gonna have to step it up for Cleveland, whether

32
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: he misses one game or whatever it is. But yeah,

33
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: we just have to hone in on the technique of things.

34
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 1: Sometimes towards the end of the year you lose it

35
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 1: a little bit, but now it's there's no excuse. You

36
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:08,920
Speaker 1: got to get fresh and and uh and really play

37
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,519
Speaker 1: the scheme the way it's supposed to be played. And

38
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 1: we're really focusing on that as a D line group

39
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: and D N group. So yeah, I'm excited for him

40
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:21,640
Speaker 1: to have this opportunity.

41
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,239
Speaker 3: Got all the starts this year and he's sort of

42
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 3: the base down guy.

43
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 2: What what did he do well to sort of earn

44
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 2: that role And what what does Chase need to do

45
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 2: to kind of shill those shoes.

46
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, just the having a camp here and being in

47
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: the scheme and and just understanding the aiming points and

48
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 1: all this stuff that Chris preaches.

49
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 2: And it's tough to come in and get it right

50
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 2: right away.

51
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: And Randy and Chase are still learning, so they're gonna

52
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: have to kind of learn quick on the run.

53
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 2: And be ready to fill those shoes.

54
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 1: And Cleveland brought probably the best effort of anybody on

55
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,679
Speaker 1: the team, So I think that was one of the

56
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 1: biggest things he brought.

57
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 2: Eric being back, give you guys run, It'll be huge.

58
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: I think I was really happy with how Javon and

59
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 1: Kevin played last game. So having Eric back and then

60
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: those two playing well and kind of back to their

61
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:32,079
Speaker 1: role of not taking fifty snaps but taking twenty five

62
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:33,920
Speaker 1: thirty will be better for everybody.

63
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 4: What's your I guess playoff goals going into this trying

64
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 4: to in terms of making sacks and pressure and quarterbacks

65
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 4: maybe more than you have in past playoffs.

66
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 2: I just want to help my team win and win

67
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 2: three games.

68
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: That's that's my focus for sure.

69
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 4: With Steve Will's guy here, he said he's kind of

70
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 4: a unique spot where he was learning the defense here

71
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 4: and trying to kind of implement stuff with it rather

72
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 4: than you know, putting in his own system. How have

73
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 4: you seen him maybe grow more comfortable through the course

74
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 4: of the year and how has it kind of manifested

75
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 4: on the field.

76
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think he was trying to figure it out

77
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: a little bit with what kind of defense are going

78
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: to be And at the end of the day, we

79
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:19,600
Speaker 1: do we do what we do, and we've done it

80
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 1: since I've been here. Zone coverage and rushing for and

81
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: and there's tons of different levels to doing it, and

82
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,039
Speaker 1: we need to be at the highest level possible of

83
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: doing that, and if we are, then we're going to

84
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 1: be really good defense.

85
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 3: He said that he.

86
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 4: Feels more relaxed now that he's on the on the

87
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 4: field and having more fun. Have you have you noticed that?

88
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 4: How has that shown up?

89
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 2: Yeah?

90
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 1: I mean it was stressful in the beginning of the year.

91
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:50,359
Speaker 1: It seems like everybody was coming after him. But I

92
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 1: kind of felt for him just because it's not one

93
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 1: guy's fault ever in football. So I'm happy that it's

94
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: kind of calm down and we've figured out our recipe

95
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:08,840
Speaker 1: and we just need to get fresh and be flying

96
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:10,359
Speaker 1: around when time comes.

97
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,600
Speaker 3: Longstanding coaches have stepped down the last couple of days.

98
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 3: Now Kyle's here for a seventh year now, fifth with you,

99
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 3: how have you noticed him keeping things fresh? I mean,

100
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 3: to get consistency, but at the same time, maybe change

101
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,280
Speaker 3: the message up enough just to keep everybody interested.

102
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 2: Has he changed over the years. That's a good question.

103
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: Actually, he's very unpredictable with how he's going to approach things.

104
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 1: And but yeah, his system is his systems. He's kind

105
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 1: of old school with new school stuff to him. But

106
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: I think I think he's just consistent in the sense

107
00:05:56,279 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 1: that he's he's always looking for ways to improve, and

108
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 1: he knows that you can't stay the same in the NFL.

109
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: You have to keep improving, and especially when we've been

110
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 1: so close, there has to be some other amount of

111
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:18,279
Speaker 1: of uh like improvement that we could reach. And I

112
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 1: kind of see him looking for it, and I think,

113
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 1: hopefully this is this is the year we find it.

114
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 2: You guys have played you know, he could be four opponents.

115
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 2: You've played three of them.

116
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 4: Have you spent any time this week looking at Green

117
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 4: Bay's up with their tackles Walker and Tom?

118
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 2: I have not.

119
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 3: Some times brock Berdy has not had one of these

120
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 3: great games, most recently against the Ravens. When he talks

121
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 3: to us, he's not at all defensive, never even tries

122
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 3: to settle.

123
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:56,239
Speaker 2: It playing, and he's like very openly.

124
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 3: Oxby his mistakes, like what he did wrong what. It

125
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 3: seems unique the way he does that. What does that

126
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 3: say to you about him just as a leaders a person.

127
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's definitely unique.

128
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 1: In today's game, people feel attacked and uh, I want

129
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: to be defensive about certain things, but shows his maturity

130
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: and his understanding that.

131
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 2: There's a reason things happened on the.

132
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: Field, and and being honest is is.

133
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 2: A good way to go about it.

134
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 1: And you almost every play you could explain exactly what

135
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 1: went wrong, and I think there was I find it

136
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 1: interesting when when Kyle explains the offensive stuff to us,

137
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 1: and it's simple stuff, simple like like motion stuff that

138
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: maybe was a little bit late and threw off the

139
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 1: play or somebody missing one block.

140
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 2: So I think just being honest is a good way

141
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 2: to go about your life.

142
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 1: And he's kind of mature beyond his years.

143
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 3: Brandon the offense won the practice today, but Fred.

144
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 2: Said, I feel like it was pretty even. Ye
