1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:04,240 Speaker 1: Uh, Leonard obviously, Uh, coming off a tough loss like that, 2 00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:06,800 Speaker 1: you think aside from the injury factor, do you think 3 00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:09,600 Speaker 1: it helps to have the short break and even and 4 00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:11,960 Speaker 1: also to have an opponent like the one you're facing 5 00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:15,440 Speaker 1: on national television, big divisional game, does make it easier 6 00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:19,079 Speaker 1: to kind of bounce back quickly. I mean mentally, I 7 00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:21,560 Speaker 1: think it makes it easier because we have no choice 8 00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:23,479 Speaker 1: but to just quickly move on to the next opponent. 9 00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:26,439 Speaker 1: And uh, regardless of want to lose. Every week we 10 00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:28,640 Speaker 1: talked about, you know, flushing the last game and moving 11 00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:31,440 Speaker 1: on to the next one. Um, I think physically is 12 00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:33,879 Speaker 1: where we have to be pros and take care of 13 00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:37,600 Speaker 1: our body and focus in more mentally than physically this week. 14 00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:40,640 Speaker 1: What do you think when you obviously you were busy 15 00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,240 Speaker 1: not watching a Cowboys game yesterday, but when you see 16 00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:45,560 Speaker 1: that score, you know, against a good team like that, 17 00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:49,920 Speaker 1: you know what is your first thought? Um, you know, 18 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:52,600 Speaker 1: I definitely respect the team we're about to play. I 19 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 1: respect every team we're gonna play in this league. To 20 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:58,279 Speaker 1: be honest, Um, you know, any any given Sunday, if 21 00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:01,040 Speaker 1: you sleep on any opponent, they have chance to beat you. 22 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,040 Speaker 1: And Uh, I think that's the reason why we focus 23 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:06,040 Speaker 1: so much on the process. And uh, and the process 24 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 1: will lead us to the results we want. And uh, 25 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:10,800 Speaker 1: you know, last week we didn't get the results we wanted, 26 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:12,759 Speaker 1: but you know, we have a short week to fix 27 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,360 Speaker 1: it and clean it up and and go into the 28 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 1: game prepared. Hey Leonard, Um, Um, you know, you guys 29 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 1: always talk about when someone gets hurt, the next guy 30 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:28,760 Speaker 1: man up, next guy's got to come in. You know 31 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 1: you kind of don't waver with that. But um, all 32 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,759 Speaker 1: the rash of injuries, certainly yesterday and that have been 33 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 1: going on, at some point, does next man up become 34 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:42,400 Speaker 1: almost the challenge in itself because the depth gets so 35 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:47,040 Speaker 1: depleted with all these injuries. I mean, it's definitely a challenge. Um, 36 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,200 Speaker 1: you know, and having injuries is is tough on any team. 37 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 1: When you're losing starters to injury, that's gonna be tough 38 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 1: on any team. But but you know, we we have 39 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 1: confidence in the guys who are going to step up 40 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 1: in those positions, and uh, we're gonna do our best 41 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 1: to let them know that we're confident in them so 42 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:09,920 Speaker 1: that they're confident on game day. And uh, yeah, I mean, 43 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,239 Speaker 1: you see what's going on in defensive backfield, right, I 44 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,640 Speaker 1: mean it's backups are going in for backups who are 45 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 1: going in for backups. I mean, how tough of a 46 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 1: situation is back there? Oh yeah, like I said, it's 47 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,359 Speaker 1: it's it's tough on any team to uh deal with injuries. 48 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 1: You know, nobody is prepared preparing for injuries. Uh, but 49 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 1: it's obviously a part of the game. We know that 50 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 1: in a way, even though we don't, you know, prepare 51 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 1: to get injured or anything like that, we always like 52 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,640 Speaker 1: every team has to have that next man up mentality 53 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 1: because it is a part of the game and it happens, 54 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:43,360 Speaker 1: and uh, you know, like I said, we're just gonna 55 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 1: have to do our best to let the man next 56 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:49,919 Speaker 1: up know that we're confident in them. Thank you, Sorry 57 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:57,079 Speaker 1: our Stapleton Hayley. You talked about the process leading to 58 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 1: the results you want. But on a short week like this, 59 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 1: as we know what the coaches are gonna do to 60 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 1: try to get you guys prepared as players, do you 61 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 1: guys alter the process and kind of get together, whether 62 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 1: it's putting in a little extra time in the film 63 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 1: room because you're not out on the field, how do 64 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,639 Speaker 1: you guys, adjust to that to make sure you're ready 65 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 1: and you stick to the process that that you've used 66 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 1: to find success this year. Yeah. I think that's the 67 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 1: most important part, is just sticking to the process. Um. 68 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,919 Speaker 1: You know, we can't let one loss turned into multiple 69 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 1: and get away from the process because of one loss. Um. 70 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 1: And this is a type of week where we have 71 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 1: to put in more mentally, knowing that the coaches are 72 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 1: gonna take care of our body physically on the field 73 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 1: to get ready for a short week on Thursday. Uh, 74 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 1: this is the type of week where we have to 75 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 1: be even more of a pro and put in the 76 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 1: extra time. Like I'm basically onna treat today like a 77 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 1: double day mentally, I'm gonna go home and take a nap, 78 00:03:57,720 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 1: and when I wake up, I'm going to treat it 79 00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 1: like new day and watch film and uh, you know, 80 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 1: kind of just like restudy my opponent. Um, Like on 81 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 1: the back end of today, would you normally do that 82 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 1: on a Monday, Tuesday or Tuesday Wednesday? What what part 83 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 1: of that week is that for you to do that 84 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:24,360 Speaker 1: double day? Um? So I would basically after I wake 85 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 1: up from my nap, treat that like a Tuesday. You know, 86 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,360 Speaker 1: Tuesday would be the day where I opened up my 87 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 1: iPad and first started, uh, you know, dialing in on 88 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 1: my opponent on that Tuesday off day. After we watch 89 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 1: our opponent on Monday and flush that away, Tuesday would 90 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 1: be the start of my week and when I dial 91 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,480 Speaker 1: in on the on the next opponent. And that's pretty 92 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,159 Speaker 1: much what I'm gonna do when after I wake up 93 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 1: from my nap today. Thanks M cannavan. Hey Leo, how 94 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 1: are you doing? How are you good? Um? Most of 95 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 1: the time, when you play a team a second time 96 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 1: in a year, you're pretty prepared for them as a defense. 97 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:14,239 Speaker 1: Did they change now that rushes out and Dack is back? 98 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 1: I mean, that's what I still have to watch film 99 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:21,600 Speaker 1: on to make sure how much has changed. Um, I'm 100 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:25,239 Speaker 1: sure there's been slight differences. And I think an important 101 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 1: game to watch is the game against us, to be honest, Um, 102 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,240 Speaker 1: wherever they found success against us last game is something 103 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 1: that they're probably gonna try to come back to uh 104 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:38,360 Speaker 1: next game and this week. I mean, and you know 105 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 1: that's something that I'm going to try to study and 106 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,160 Speaker 1: prepare for and uh watch a lot of you know, 107 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 1: what happened to us last game. And the other question 108 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 1: I have is it seems in the lossuits you're not 109 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 1: getting turnedovers. Is that how key is that to winning? Oh? 110 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 1: That's major. I mean we talked about turnover battle a 111 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 1: lot in this league, and um, you know, if if 112 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 1: one team is getting a lot more takeaways and the 113 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 1: other team, that's gonna be a huge impact on the game. 114 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,280 Speaker 1: And that's something that we're putting the emphasis on. We 115 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 1: try to put emphasis on every week as a defense. 116 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 1: And uh, you know, we talked about like not being 117 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 1: satisfied with just getting a tackle or just getting a sack, 118 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,280 Speaker 1: but trying to get the ball off of them in 119 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 1: the process, and uh, you know, it's it's a it's 120 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 1: a huge game changing momentum shift. Uh, Phil position, it 121 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 1: changes a lot in the game when when turnover turnovers happening. 122 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,920 Speaker 1: Thank you, Yeah, people take one more from Paul Schwartz. 123 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 1: It letted one more from me. Um, Um, what what 124 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,040 Speaker 1: is your sense you and Dexter have been getting good 125 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 1: pressure in the pocket in the interior? What are you 126 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 1: your sense of what's going on on the edges, because 127 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,480 Speaker 1: it does not seem like that pressure is consistent from 128 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,840 Speaker 1: the edges at all. What can you do better maybe 129 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:55,600 Speaker 1: to help that. And what do you see going on 130 00:06:55,839 --> 00:07:00,080 Speaker 1: out there? Uh? I mean I know, you know, so 131 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 1: it's a young room. Um, there's been a lot of 132 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 1: injuries going on in that room as well. We haven't 133 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 1: had disease the majority of the of the year, and uh, 134 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 1: you know, I know how it was being a young 135 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 1: player sometimes. Um, it takes a while to adapt and 136 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 1: adjust to new NFL speed and and and schemes and 137 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 1: all types of stuff like that. And uh, you know, 138 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 1: we're still confident in those guys and confident that they're 139 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 1: gonna come along. And you know, for the most part, 140 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 1: I feel like we've been doing a good enough job 141 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 1: with him. You know. Did you sense that with Caban specifically? 142 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 1: You know, because he's the one constant who's been out there. 143 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 1: He after, you know, missing a couple of games that, um, 144 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:40,760 Speaker 1: you know, some of the things maybe that worked in 145 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 1: college are not quite working now. You know. Would you 146 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 1: advise him on maybe changing up or doing things differently? Uh? 147 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,600 Speaker 1: To be honest, maybe I could do a better job of, like, um, 148 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 1: focusing on what is going on out on the edges. Uh, 149 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 1: you know, I have a lot I have to learn. 150 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 1: After each game as well. And uh, you know, a 151 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 1: lot of times after a game, I'm focusing on interior 152 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 1: and and what's going on in my position group, and 153 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 1: I don't really have too much time to focus on 154 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 1: what's happening in other positions. But as a leader, as 155 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 1: a VET and someone who's been through the process, uh, 156 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 1: I probably could do a little bit better job of 157 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,520 Speaker 1: seeing what's going on and and trying to help cave 158 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 1: on where I can. Um. I haven't really seen anything specific, 159 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 1: so I can't really point out anything specific, um, But overall, 160 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 1: I think, you know, he's definitely hard worker, and I'm 161 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 1: sure whatever he's having success that's gonna grow, and whatever 162 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,319 Speaker 1: he's struggling with is going to get better. Maybe that 163 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 1: you have to make it like a triple day, right, 164 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,839 Speaker 1: two naps, make it like a Tuesday, Wednesday. Just just 165 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 1: keep on working straight throughout right. That's how it is, man, 166 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 1: It's that time of year.
