1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,400 Speaker 1: Are we doing, ladies and gentlemen. Getting here towards the 2 00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:07,000 Speaker 1: end of training camp, I think, uh, we're getting closer 3 00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:09,239 Speaker 1: where we we want to be just to start the 4 00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:12,640 Speaker 1: season off. The biggest thing that I've talked to the 5 00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:14,520 Speaker 1: defense about is finding in a rhythm, and I think 6 00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:18,919 Speaker 1: we're getting there. Although it's you know, sometimes difficult to 7 00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:21,880 Speaker 1: see exactly where you'll be at because if nix and 8 00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:24,600 Speaker 1: bruises and everything else that goes with training camp. But uh, 9 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:28,320 Speaker 1: I like where we're at, and uh, we're just gonna 10 00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:31,440 Speaker 1: go out there and work at it again today. Is 11 00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:36,960 Speaker 1: there a balance for you between in practice, between installing 12 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,559 Speaker 1: and doing all of the blitz kind of things that 13 00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,479 Speaker 1: you want to do and then you know, giving the 14 00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:45,160 Speaker 1: offense a break and letting them work as well. Yeah, 15 00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,839 Speaker 1: I mean I think that you know, well we we 16 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,199 Speaker 1: give the offense. I think, you know, Mike's done a 17 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:53,000 Speaker 1: great job with the offensive where they're at. Uh, we 18 00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:56,400 Speaker 1: haven't game planned any pressures, were just running our different pressures. 19 00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 1: But uh, you know, I think today would be a 20 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:01,880 Speaker 1: good day to watch it because we're gonna do a 21 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 1: lot more just front and coverage and it'll be boring 22 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,560 Speaker 1: to the guys that really love defense watching it. But no, 23 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:09,200 Speaker 1: we need to do that to just work on our 24 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,840 Speaker 1: fundamentals and techniques. And I know exactly, you know we 25 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:14,720 Speaker 1: we we do it once once a year during training 26 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,560 Speaker 1: camp of the day you'll see today, So we're excited 27 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 1: about it. It should be a noisy practice, you know. 28 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,480 Speaker 1: That's the biggest thing that the emphasis today is. I 29 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 1: want us communicating well and it'll be fun to watch 30 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:32,120 Speaker 1: stick on this thing annually sick on this thing now, 31 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 1: I believe or not. I think sometimes all that the 32 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 1: pressure stuff gets hyped up to it's it's a snowball effect. 33 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 1: But you know, I think that you know, we we 34 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,039 Speaker 1: have an attacking style defense and I'm not gonna apologize 35 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 1: for that. But you know, you also play front coverage 36 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 1: is like, you know, like we did and I think 37 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 1: we all expected. I'm sure you did too. With the 38 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 1: Dorry Jackson on one side, an opponent is going to 39 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 1: go after Aaron Robinson that seemed to be with the Patriots. 40 00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 1: Did how did he bounce back from that? And well, 41 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 1: I think with with with the first of all, he's 42 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 1: had a tremendous camp. Um. You know, there there was 43 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 1: some fifty balls the penalty. I mean, you can't have 44 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 1: a penalty down there in the red zone. You can't 45 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 1: have lack of communication. Um and uh, you know, because 46 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 1: that's just kryptonite to your red zone defense or you're 47 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 1: two minute defense, you know, any of those situations. But 48 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,120 Speaker 1: we're preaching harp on that. But you know, there were 49 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 1: some fifty fifty balls that we want and there's some 50 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 1: fifty balls we lost. We just playing out there on 51 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 1: the island. You just gotta win more fifty fifty balls. 52 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 1: And uh, you know, I think that I don't think 53 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 1: it was just Aaron Robinson. They might just wanted to 54 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 1: see if that receiver could win, you know what I mean. 55 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 1: I don't think it was personally on a row. Now, 56 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 1: Rome has been working on with his techniques. He's had 57 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 1: a great week of practice because if you go out there, 58 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 1: especially out there when you're on the island, you lose 59 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:54,079 Speaker 1: your technique, technique and fundamentals. This league find it and 60 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,359 Speaker 1: that was a great really experience for him in that situation, 61 00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,919 Speaker 1: being on the outside. Gonna ask him when I have 62 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 1: an opportunity. But on the penalty, the taunting is that 63 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 1: just me. It's like I tell our players Roger Goodell 64 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 1: is never gonna call and say, hey, winks mad about 65 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 1: that call. Let's let's let's stop the game and let's 66 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 1: really look at that. And no, it's it's you just 67 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 1: gotta play the next down, you know, just get the 68 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:22,120 Speaker 1: next call and play the next down because you know, 69 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 1: we don't make the rules. We just played by right. 70 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 1: But if he gets off on that, imagine what he did. 71 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. The technique, no doubt, no doubt. 72 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 1: And it's like anything, you know, they want to tie 73 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 1: the you know, the corners up with the pressure and 74 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 1: everything else. Uh, you know when when they talk about 75 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 1: our system, um, and it's you know, if we'd have 76 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 1: been in quarters coverage, if we'd have been you know, 77 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 1: in the red zone, cover two, if we'd have been 78 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 1: in cover three, it's all this, it's gonna be the 79 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: same throw. So what you have to decide how we 80 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 1: approach the game is you know, like you come away 81 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 1: with that game of well so and so didn't rush 82 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 1: the passer. Well, whoever that might be. Well, they're getting 83 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 1: rid of the ball, you know, two point one. The 84 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 1: younger kid got rid of a faster than Hyer. Um. 85 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 1: So when you pressure a quarterback. You want to change 86 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 1: the picture. And I always say pressure breaks pipes. You 87 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 1: want to make him think fast. You want to hit 88 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 1: the quarterback or make him make a quick decision that 89 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:27,279 Speaker 1: he don't want to make, you know. So that's how 90 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 1: we go about games and the best ways we can 91 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,599 Speaker 1: attack the quarterback for an opposing defense. With regard to 92 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor, what are some of the things that he 93 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:42,159 Speaker 1: brings to the table make things difficult with his elusiveness 94 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,040 Speaker 1: and whatnot. I'm assuming you've you've gone up against him, 95 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,039 Speaker 1: gone up against him when I was with him in Baltimore, 96 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,920 Speaker 1: and uh, you know, he's he's a obviously a very 97 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 1: talented guy. Um and uh, I just I really respect 98 00:04:55,560 --> 00:05:00,599 Speaker 1: how he's gone about his business and being you know, 99 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,279 Speaker 1: with his career. You know. So he he's he's a 100 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,719 Speaker 1: tough one. You can't just think it's it's not just 101 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 1: gonna stand back there like a statue. So you gotta 102 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 1: you gotta work plaster coverage when a quarterback gets out 103 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:13,680 Speaker 1: of the pocket, and you gotta have some people ready 104 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:15,839 Speaker 1: to go try to chase him. What do you what 105 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 1: do you make of the suggestions after the last game 106 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 1: that you blitzed a lot for a preseason. We're on 107 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 1: the Cincinnati. Is there an unwritten rule there though? And 108 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,359 Speaker 1: you know it's unwritten, I don't know. We're on the Cincinnati. 109 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,719 Speaker 1: He's there a way to defend the under thrown pass 110 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 1: because the Patriots had a little success that the back 111 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,599 Speaker 1: shoulders are tough. I mean you saw if you're out 112 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,840 Speaker 1: here this past week, you saw that was a thing 113 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 1: that Rome was really working with on the corners. UM. 114 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 1: But you know that sometimes it's just a good throw 115 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 1: and good catch and you just say move on, you know, 116 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 1: like the one on has a lot. I mean that 117 00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,360 Speaker 1: get through the ball for the receiver, you come out 118 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 1: and break it's eyes the receiver, goold, throw a good catch. 119 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 1: Let's move on. Yeah, let's go play defense. We're probably 120 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 1: not gonna talk to you until you know, when the 121 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 1: season rolls around. So next week, you guys have that 122 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,840 Speaker 1: joint practice against the Jets UM and you may end 123 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 1: up seeing a quarterback that you're also familiar with, with 124 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 1: Flacco out there. Curious on your thoughts, one, what will 125 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 1: you try to accomplish in the joint practice, but also 126 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 1: seeing Flacco out there in a different uniform. I think 127 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 1: it's the same thing. It's if it's a practice you 128 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,280 Speaker 1: know with your own team, is just you know, continue 129 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 1: to try to find your rhythm. You know, look, experiment 130 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 1: with different matchups. You know. As far as Joe, I mean, 131 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 1: he's he's got the arm strength of you know, the 132 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 1: top tier quarterbacks. I mean, he can throw the football. 133 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,040 Speaker 1: So but it'll be fun seeing him, seeing c J. 134 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 1: And you know, I'm looking forward, like, I don't know 135 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 1: what the percentage is, but it seems like you're in 136 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,120 Speaker 1: the nickel with two down linemen and the four linebackers 137 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:55,600 Speaker 1: the vast major of the time. Is that like what 138 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 1: you say your base defense though, no, well, I mean 139 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 1: it becomes your base defense because you more because other 140 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 1: people played ten personnel which is four wides uh and 141 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 1: and eleven personnel which is three wides on the tight end. Um. 142 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 1: So you played that throughout the year at a higher 143 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 1: percentage than your base defense. And you know, then sometimes 144 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 1: when you get into the preseason, you're sitting guys down 145 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:24,240 Speaker 1: and um, you know, let's I'm told to never want 146 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 1: to put a guy back in the game after after 147 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 1: you know, he said, okay, he's had this many plays, 148 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 1: let's let's get him out. You know, and that's Joe 149 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 1: and Dave's work on those numbers that we hit. And 150 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 1: then you know, there was a lot of conversation I 151 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 1: had with Dave's you know, during the New England game 152 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 1: was Okay, this guy, this guy, this guy, let's get 153 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 1: him out, you know, and then that just means they're 154 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 1: done with defense, and then they tell Team macam donald 155 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 1: defense and then he might want to see him on 156 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 1: something else out there. But almost in the same boat 157 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 1: as sick one last year coming off the A c 158 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 1: L when you're kind of bringing him along slowly, I 159 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 1: wouldn't hear with sequan coming off of us. I don't 160 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 1: know that I could answer that question fairly, you know. 161 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,240 Speaker 1: So I don't know, you know, with with that, I 162 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,960 Speaker 1: know he's working hard to come back. We've talked about 163 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 1: Darian Beavers, but we haven't talked much about the other 164 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 1: rookie linebacker that you have, Michael McFadden. What are you 165 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 1: seeing from him in his development? I was really pleased 166 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 1: with the whole linebacker room. I told Eggs at Eggs 167 00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 1: to the nice job getting those guys ready for that game, 168 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 1: the way they tackle, the way they press a line 169 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 1: of scrimmage, and they're starting the younger line barriers, which 170 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 1: is the hardest thing to teach us. They're using their 171 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 1: hands better. Once you get a linebacker can use his hands, 172 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 1: then you've got a linebacker. And I think they're both, 173 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 1: you know, coming along really well and right on schedule, 174 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 1: which Larry started practicing since we last talked to you. 175 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 1: You have a smile on your face. Yeah, what I mean, 176 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,960 Speaker 1: what have you seen? I think that it's you know, 177 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 1: I'll tell you exactly what happened. Drew works with their 178 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 1: footwork every day, and it's their run footwork, which is 179 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:55,960 Speaker 1: the most important thing and outside her edge player has 180 00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,199 Speaker 1: to have. Okay, he works on it every day, is 181 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,680 Speaker 1: the first thing they do. And I was just watching 182 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 1: their feet, like like, I'm looking at your guy's feet 183 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:04,960 Speaker 1: right now. I was just I wasn't even looking up, 184 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 1: and I'm like, man, that guy has a good feet. 185 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 1: And I look up and it's him. I'm like, oh, 186 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,959 Speaker 1: that's right, he's practicing. That's good. You know. So we're 187 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:13,880 Speaker 1: really excited about singing him back. You know, he's he's 188 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:17,320 Speaker 1: a playmaker. He's a good football player. Have you have 189 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 1: you watched any tape of the playoff game that the 190 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 1: Titans lost their last game to the Bengals and scouted 191 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,600 Speaker 1: how they stopped them. Yeah, but not in the any 192 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 1: depth that I'm ready to talk about with anything. You know. 193 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 1: I've watched it, yes, in preparation of of doing that, 194 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,240 Speaker 1: but we haven't put anything in together yet because also 195 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 1: you know, watched when we played him your prior, you know. 196 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 1: So that's a good football team.
