1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 1: Was you know, obviously disappointed with the outcome, but I

2
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:11,159
Speaker 1: think that our effort and execution and communication, we did

3
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:15,160
Speaker 1: a lot of good things Sunday night against Buffalo, and

4
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:18,480
Speaker 1: I hoped to build on that as we keep going forward.

5
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 1: And I like where we're going right now. We got

6
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 1: a great challenge ahead of us with this group from Washington,

7
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 1: and we'll see what happens when we tee it up.

8
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:32,840
Speaker 1: What did you see in your defense as a whole

9
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 1: last week that just it was different than you've seen.

10
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 1: What kind of step did they take?

11
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 2: I mean, obviously that was a pretty big challenge.

12
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 1: I think that was the execution itself. The communication, the

13
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 1: one plate a time mentality was there all night and

14
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 1: when you have that in this league, you got a shot.

15
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 1: You know, we had a different plan. We hit him

16
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 1: with a different CounterPunch with I think this is the

17
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 1: fourth time we've we've gone against Josh and you know,

18
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 1: we had a different, different style of plan and uh uh,

19
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 1: he's a tremendous quarterback with with some great players out there,

20
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 1: and it was a great challenge that we that uh,

21
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 1: you know, I think that our guys you know, took

22
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 1: that challenge.

23
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 2: And what were what's the secret challenge of bringing that back?

24
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 1: Well, I mean I think that once you once you

25
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 1: you just got to keep building and you just got

26
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,039
Speaker 1: to have the mindset of the mindset which we've had

27
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 1: all year of getting better every day. You just take

28
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: it one day at a time, so, you know, I

29
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 1: you know, it's everything just hits just right. And you know,

30
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,759
Speaker 1: they ended up with uh. I think we surprised them

31
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: with some things. But I think we surprised Miami with

32
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: some things too. It's just we gave up too many

33
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 1: explosive plays. But you know, I think that, you know,

34
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: to take something away, you got to give something up.

35
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: You know. I know that they had some runs there

36
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: towards the end of the game, but we were taking

37
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 1: away the passing game. We limited Josh to eleven yard scrabbling.

38
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,919
Speaker 1: You know, I think that's Mike. You know, I hadn't checked,

39
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,399
Speaker 1: but you know, I think that's that's obviously low for him.

40
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 1: He usually scrambles for more yards. And its quarterback rating

41
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,679
Speaker 1: was down, you know, all those different things that you

42
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: choose film because of the things that we did, and

43
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: so to take all that away, you know, you're playing

44
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: with the light box. So there was a couple of

45
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 1: runs that you know, we need to play better, but

46
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 1: we also knew there was a chance that could happen

47
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 1: as well.

48
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 3: Wait, how much of the improvement of your defense is

49
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 3: because of Bobby and his acclamation now to everything you.

50
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 2: Want to do?

51
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,079
Speaker 1: That's a great question. I think that it all fits

52
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: in departs, you know. I mean, like Bobby x Leo, Dex,

53
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:58,959
Speaker 1: all those guys there that they're they're they're starting to

54
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: to gel as a u in it, you know, Cavon.

55
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 1: You know, you just keep going down the list of

56
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 1: the guys that are they are starting to jell as

57
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: a unit and and uh, they're getting used to playing together.

58
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: And you know Bobby is a big part of that too.

59
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: And I think you're just going to continue to see

60
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 1: him keep striding out, you know, the way we all

61
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: expected him to.

62
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 3: What are your observations of Sam Howe.

63
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 1: I think he's a good quarterback. I think that you know,

64
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,519
Speaker 1: each week he improves. You can see that he's getting

65
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: used to you know, Eric's system, and he is you know,

66
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: he has some Josh Allen type qualities. You know, I'm

67
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 1: not saying that he's that yet, but I mean he

68
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: has those type qualities that he's got great awareness in

69
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: the pocket and and he can he can throw the football.

70
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: So it's it's gonna be a challenge for.

71
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 3: Us big seasons as a pass rusher from Leonard Williams.

72
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 3: But he has three sacks in eighteen games in your system?

73
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 3: Is that because of what your system requires him to do?

74
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 3: Do you still think he has that elite pass rusher

75
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 3: in him that he once had.

76
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: I think Leo's selfless player. I don't think it has

77
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: anything to do with the systems. I think it has

78
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 1: to do with, you know, different types of games that

79
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: we've been in, and you know it's uh, you know,

80
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,160
Speaker 1: it's it's it's a little bit different as far as

81
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: you know. He's probably facing the all runs and he's

82
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 1: faced but you know he's he's going to be fun.

83
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 2: What do you think when you see, uh, I'm back

84
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,040
Speaker 2: to Howe for a second. When you see that he's

85
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 2: been sacked thirty four times?

86
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean he's he's had he's had had some

87
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 1: issions getting sacked. So what do you say? What do

88
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 1: I think?

89
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 2: But as a defensive coordinator, is that get you excited? Hey,

90
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 2: this is an opportunity for us to go out and

91
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:56,679
Speaker 2: you know, get after this guy, Like, how do you

92
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 2: what's your mindset when you see that?

93
00:04:58,160 --> 00:04:59,919
Speaker 1: Well, a lot of the sacks kill up from you know,

94
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 1: playing coverage, you know, some different types of coverages to him.

95
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 1: But uh, you know, I, like I said, I think

96
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 1: it was there was a lot early because the game,

97
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: you know, the game was it was sped up for him.

98
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 1: But you can see each week he's getting better, getting

99
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: rid of the football and you know, seeing where he

100
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 1: wants to go with it. And I mean, like I said,

101
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a it's gonna be a great challenge.

102
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: I think Eric's done a great job with him. And

103
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 1: you know, Bobby a good friend of mine that I

104
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 1: coached with before, he's done a great job with his

105
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 1: wide receivers.

106
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 3: Were you aware?

107
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 2: Uh?

108
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,799
Speaker 1: Rix Ryelan on the air on Sunday and said, Winks,

109
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: stop blitzing, it's not working. Uh, we're aware of that.

110
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 1: And what's your reaction to it. Well, that's that's Rex's opinion.

111
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: We all know Rex has opinions. You know the old

112
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 1: saying that follows that to we say, pressure breaks pipes. Defensively,

113
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: are you getting enough pressure on quarterbacks through the first

114
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 1: part of the season. I think that in the right situation,

115
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: we are Yeah, I do. I think that just coming

116
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 1: out on the field, people are gonna they you know,

117
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,359
Speaker 1: the first the first start down we had against Buffalo,

118
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,839
Speaker 1: they came out and mass protection. Look and you know

119
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,279
Speaker 1: we played coverage to it and we I mean, you

120
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,359
Speaker 1: can ask Josh Allen, I think we hit him, you know,

121
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,279
Speaker 1: you know Zay, you know we made we made him

122
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:32,280
Speaker 1: as rusher and you know sometimes spiding, you know, was

123
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 1: Jay and I thought he did a tremendous job and

124
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,039
Speaker 1: he was a big part of us holding him to

125
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,919
Speaker 1: this eleven yards Russia. You know, we wanted to ask me.

126
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 4: I want to ask you a question about quarterbacks who

127
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:44,600
Speaker 4: get the ball out really quickly and how that stress

128
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 4: is a defense. When you guys played Miami earlier too

129
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 4: is leading the league. He's getting it out in two

130
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,719
Speaker 4: point two eight seconds. The slowest quarterback is a little

131
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 4: over three seconds. How much does that seven tenths matter

132
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 4: as a defense, Like, how do you feel that it

133
00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 4: matters a lot?

134
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,160
Speaker 1: You know, because you have to come to a press

135
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 1: conference and says this guy getting enough pressures? Is this

136
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,599
Speaker 1: guy getting enough sex? So it matters that way? But

137
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:08,599
Speaker 1: they are getting rid of the ball faster. And that

138
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: Miami offenses, I mean it's off the church. So you

139
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 1: know some of those when they go in that jet motion,

140
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: you know what I'm talking about. With Hill or whoever

141
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 1: he catches, the snap just goes like that. That's considered

142
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 1: a pass. So that goes into that that figure, that number,

143
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 1: and like I you know, we've already talked about Miami.

144
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 1: He's playing at a high level. Two ways,
