1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:05,400 Speaker 1: Dan Duggan, the athletic Hey Lordan, how much did not 2 00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:11,840 Speaker 1: having James effect the secondary? Now you think? Um, I think, uh, 3 00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:14,800 Speaker 1: it definitely changes some things. I think you can't replace 4 00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:19,120 Speaker 1: James Bradberry, He's but I think you have to all 5 00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:21,720 Speaker 1: step up in a different way. Um, I'll do a 6 00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:26,040 Speaker 1: little bit more. And um, honestly are our hats off too? 7 00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:28,800 Speaker 1: So the Browns, I think that you know, our coverage 8 00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:31,520 Speaker 1: was tight. They made some good contested catches. I think 9 00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:33,520 Speaker 1: we really loaded up to stop the run game, which 10 00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:36,240 Speaker 1: we did, but we really weren't good in third down. 11 00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:39,360 Speaker 1: We really weren't good, um in the red area, which 12 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:42,600 Speaker 1: is situationally how you win football. And I think James 13 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 1: would have helped. But James wasn't the only problem there. 14 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:48,879 Speaker 1: Him missing was only the only problem to night. So UM, 15 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:52,040 Speaker 1: obviously you know James affects things, but I don't think 16 00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:53,760 Speaker 1: that's the reason why we lost today. And that's definitely 17 00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:57,240 Speaker 1: not an excuse. Uh. You're gonna hear me make Zach 18 00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:00,440 Speaker 1: brother black in ja dot com and logan, Um, I 19 00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:01,920 Speaker 1: don't think you've been a part of a team that 20 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,040 Speaker 1: had a losing records since you're a freshman year at 21 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,680 Speaker 1: Rutgers or something like that, and then you guys just 22 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:08,759 Speaker 1: clinched that obviously. I'm just curiously, how do you feel 23 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 1: about where this team is at now as you head 24 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 1: into these last two games? Um? I love where the 25 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 1: teams that you know. I've never been one and seven 26 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,480 Speaker 1: before either. But we fought and we fought, and we 27 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,120 Speaker 1: fought and counted out left for dead, and we we 28 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,280 Speaker 1: won some games, surprised some people who didn't believe in us, 29 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,319 Speaker 1: and then everyone believe in us. Now people don't believe again. 30 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 1: So it doesn't matter. Honestly, it doesn't matter. We are 31 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,200 Speaker 1: where we are, and we got two games in front 32 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,959 Speaker 1: of us, where, um, we gotta go out there and 33 00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:38,840 Speaker 1: uh and and win, and um that's all that matters. 34 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,200 Speaker 1: I've been a leader since my days at Rutgers, and 35 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 1: our games were hard fault. If you watch Rutgers games, 36 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 1: they were hard fought. And a lot of my games 37 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 1: in my career have been hard fought. And uh, I 38 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 1: was never a front runner, and I'm not a front 39 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 1: runner now. So I have no problem with the position 40 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 1: we're in as long as you can believe that we 41 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 1: can win next week. And we gotta watch this film 42 00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 1: and and get our attitude to be there top kind 43 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 1: of abe. Hey, Loogan, did you like the fact that 44 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 1: Joe is aggressive the whole game? Yeah? I love the fact. 45 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:12,799 Speaker 1: I mean Joe is an aggressive head coach. Um, and 46 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 1: I when you're when you're like that, you can do 47 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 1: that when you have a really good defense and you 48 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 1: believe in your defense. And we got to back our 49 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,120 Speaker 1: head coach when he does make aggressive calls, when he 50 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:23,960 Speaker 1: goes from more points, when he goes to win, when 51 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:28,080 Speaker 1: he goes, uh to make the big plays, Um that 52 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,639 Speaker 1: we're close to being made but didn't get made in defensively, 53 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 1: we gotta come on the field and defend the grass 54 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 1: a little bit better than we did. And um, hats 55 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:36,680 Speaker 1: off to them, Hats off the Baker. He played really 56 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 1: efficient today and he definitely Uh, if he didn't, we 57 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 1: didn't have his if we didn't have respect for him, 58 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 1: then we definitely have it now because he definitely was 59 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:46,919 Speaker 1: one of the most efficient quarterbacks we went against this year. 60 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 1: We'll take two more. Pat Leonard Jordan run Pat Leonard 61 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:55,959 Speaker 1: daily knows Hey, Lougan, when, um, you know when a 62 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 1: coach test positive and you guys have to have it 63 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,919 Speaker 1: practice canceled, and it's me who's very valuable to you. 64 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,799 Speaker 1: Guys can't play because of a mistake he's made away 65 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 1: from the facility. Does any part of you feel frustrated 66 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,799 Speaker 1: that the mistake of one person is made when it 67 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 1: affects the whole group? I mean, especially because those are 68 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 1: messages you guys are stressing to each other all season. 69 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 1: Not at all. I don't know how it's a mistake. 70 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 1: My wife can go um pick my kids up from preschool, 71 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 1: or my wife can go out and get COVID and 72 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 1: give it to me. And I did everything I can 73 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,519 Speaker 1: to avoid everyone I could. It's this is something that 74 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,800 Speaker 1: I don't know is a hundred percent avoidable. I think 75 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 1: we predicted that that would be this year. It's not 76 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 1: our first time missing a practice, not our first time 77 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 1: having someone test positive for COVID. It's not our first 78 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 1: time having to fill things, and we're not the only 79 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 1: team to deal with it. So that's definitely not an 80 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 1: excuse in these situations. I expect myself, I expect our 81 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 1: team to step up and win. I think the opportunity 82 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 1: was there. I think the story was written to have 83 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 1: every excuse we could make and not make an excuse 84 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 1: and go win the game. So I thought the opportunity 85 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 1: was there to go win the game tonight. I thought 86 00:03:57,880 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 1: the opportunity has ever rewrite the story. I thought that 87 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 1: opportunity was there to come back, just like we didn't 88 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 1: Seattle with the backup quarterback and upset this and that. 89 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 1: I thought we had the opportunity to do that again 90 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 1: and we didn't. We didn't play. Um, we didn't play 91 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 1: well enough to do that. And uh, there's not one 92 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 1: You're not gonna find one mistake or one excuse in 93 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,160 Speaker 1: this franchise. I know you guys are gonna try it, 94 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 1: but I don't think we're making that. I just think that, uh, 95 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,720 Speaker 1: they did a better job on third down, they did 96 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 1: a better job in the red area, and we didn't 97 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 1: get any turnovers tonight. And that's a recipe for losing 98 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:32,839 Speaker 1: in this league. Last one here Jordan running on ESPN. Hey, look, 99 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 1: how much were you forced to sort of play zone 100 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 1: because maybe the personnel you had to decided today this 101 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 1: is the best way for us soon. How much how 102 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 1: much would you say you played? Man? Probably just must 103 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 1: we do any other game. I mean, look at the 104 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:48,600 Speaker 1: Seattle game. How much man do we play so I 105 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 1: don't know if the analytics day, but we can look 106 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,360 Speaker 1: it up on PFF for next gen stats, whatever you 107 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,160 Speaker 1: guy's got. But um, look, man, we're we're we're calling 108 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 1: a game to win the game. You know we're calling 109 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,160 Speaker 1: again to win the game. Cleveland is a tem team 110 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:01,840 Speaker 1: that runs the ball, the third best in the league. 111 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 1: We sold out to stop the run. We made Baker 112 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,360 Speaker 1: Mayfield be a pocket quarterback. He was extremely efficient at that. 113 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 1: They were in third and manageables, which we don't want, 114 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 1: and they got a bunch of third downs and the 115 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 1: red area. We were over three, So manner zone, every 116 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 1: wanna call it. Um When you're not get in the 117 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 1: red area, you're not good on third down, you're not 118 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 1: gonna play great scoring defense. Now. Is twenty a whole 119 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,039 Speaker 1: lot of points given up? Of course not, but it's 120 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 1: we had to give up less in order to win 121 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 1: the game. And that's our job. To get the ball 122 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 1: back to the offense, get them more opportunities, forced turnovers, 123 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 1: and make it hard on the quarterback. And I felt 124 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:37,920 Speaker 1: like he was extremely efficient today. I felt like he 125 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,560 Speaker 1: was extremely prepared today and he played a good game 126 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 1: against us today and we got to take that on 127 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 1: the chin and get ready to go against the former 128 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 1: m v P of of Lamar Jackson next week. You 129 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 1: wanted to keep Baker in the pocket, but then what 130 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 1: did what did you think of the way he performed 131 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,920 Speaker 1: out of there? Then may he played well? I mean, 132 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 1: he definitely played well. I mean we didn't want him 133 00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 1: to extend plays, so we didn't want him get out 134 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 1: the pocket. We think he's really great at that. And look, man, 135 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 1: my guys, my guys played Adam tonight, uh the defensive 136 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 1: backfield spot duty. They came in and we knew it 137 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 1: was gonna be the most physical game of the year, 138 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 1: and we went toe to toe with those guys. But 139 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 1: I think situationally, they executed better. No matter how physical 140 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 1: you are, how tough you are, if you're not good 141 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 1: in the situations, you're not gonna You're not gonna keep 142 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 1: him off the board. So I think we're gonna go 143 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 1: back and clean up our third day and get it 144 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 1: back to one of the top defenses and football where 145 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 1: we were for a little bit. We go clean up 146 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 1: our red area like we have been um and get 147 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 1: that fixed. And I think that you'll see a better 148 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 1: performance next week because we have to have a better 149 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 1: performance next week.
