1
00:00:01,560 --> 00:00:04,520
Speaker 1: Good week of practice, UH bouncing back from that uh

2
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:07,240
Speaker 1: disappointing loss UH this past week.

3
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:09,559
Speaker 2: I like where the guys are.

4
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:12,600
Speaker 1: UH. They're focus, they're locked in, and we're looking forward

5
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 1: to a great performance this week. In regards to the

6
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:19,800
Speaker 1: last week, quickly, UH we w I felt we felt

7
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:22,840
Speaker 1: uh defensively, we had a opportunity chance to win the

8
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 1: game on defense UH several times, and we didn't take

9
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:26,080
Speaker 1: advantage of it.

10
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:26,439
Speaker 3: Uh.

11
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 1: I got to do a much better job and stopping

12
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:31,160
Speaker 1: the run Number one. Uh it was slow b bleeding

13
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 1: as I call. The longest run was like twenty yards,

14
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:36,199
Speaker 1: but they had just too much in between.

15
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 2: UH.

16
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 1: And this was probably one of the uh our worst

17
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 1: games for its mistackles. And that's something that we got

18
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:44,200
Speaker 1: to correct and get better at as well. So UH

19
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,559
Speaker 1: with that, UH take your questions regards to.

20
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 2: The run defense. Nick Posta said yesterday that there was

21
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:50,560
Speaker 2: an issue setting edges. What did you see there?

22
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 1: Uh, it's it's it's always uh something that we emphasize

23
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 1: and talk about because we know that's where teams are

24
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 1: gonna try to attack us.

25
00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 2: UH, just with uh our perimeter.

26
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 1: We got to do much better jobs, as he just mentioned,

27
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 1: with the defensive end than nickel linebacker scraping over the

28
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:08,679
Speaker 1: top in the uh safety running the alley. So that

29
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,040
Speaker 1: was the issue, and that's been a point of emphasis

30
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 1: this week.

31
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 2: You guys have been so.

32
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 3: Good at tackling, you would you see in terms of

33
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 3: what led to them.

34
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 1: So many Uh, it's nothing in particular. I just think

35
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 1: once again as coaches, I reminded us as as a

36
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 1: staff that we can't get away from.

37
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 2: The fundamentals and technique. Uh. We talked about that Week

38
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 2: one against Pitchburg.

39
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 1: We wanted to be the best tackling team UH, that

40
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 1: particular week because that's how I know teams lose games,

41
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: you know, busting coverages and missing tackles.

42
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 2: UH.

43
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 1: And that mindset week one can't change. And that's what

44
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 1: we got back to this week.

45
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 3: Just as Randy Gregor's performance on Sunday, and how have

46
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 3: you seen him progress.

47
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 1: That week short period of time just coming in trying

48
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: to learn the defense, uh and and really uh the

49
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: coach and how we operate.

50
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 2: I thought he did a pretty good job.

51
00:01:56,360 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 1: You know, he pressured the quarterback, uh TfL got sack,

52
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: you know, so that was phenomenal.

53
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 2: I wish you know, we had a pressure on.

54
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: He came a little too wide one time, and I

55
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 1: think he had a script sack fumble. So just cleaning

56
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 1: that up and letting him understand a little bit more

57
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: details of the defense, which I think he has this week.

58
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna continue to progress.

59
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 4: If I thought the you're always measured and calm with us,

60
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 4: But I thought that hit that Gibson had was textbook.

61
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 4: What was your reaction in real time to that, to

62
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 4: that call?

63
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 1: I can't say that right now, but Na, in all

64
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: seriousness right here, I know the league is is is

65
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 1: definitely all about the safety of players, and so will

66
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: we and we teach our guys how to lower their target.

67
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 1: And you know, personally, I thought it was clean. They

68
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: called the flag. That's part of the game. And again

69
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 1: going back to how initially opened up, we had several

70
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 1: times after that defense would definished the game, and we

71
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 1: didn't so hard.

72
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 2: To make it such a you know, bank bank situation.

73
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 2: Do you feel like that should be something that maybe

74
00:02:59,080 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 2: they should do a quickly.

75
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,640
Speaker 1: Oh, if you can get that to the league office

76
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: and see if that can pass that this uh this spring,

77
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: that'd be great.

78
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 2: You know.

79
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: Uh, they didn't Baseball do that. Yeah, so that'll be

80
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 1: uh yeah, I think you need to do that.

81
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 3: Sean said that like if he were to do it

82
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 3: all over again, he probably would do the exact same thing.

83
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,079
Speaker 3: Is is there anything he could have done like that?

84
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 3: You would? It would be a coaching point to avoid

85
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 3: that kind of penalty.

86
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: No, none, in how we teach him. You know, I

87
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 1: felt like once again he did everything he could for us,

88
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: trying to lower his target right there, Uh is is

89
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 1: right there in the moment.

90
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 2: You know you're talking.

91
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: About I don't want to say human error, but you

92
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: know humans are trying to determine rather not it's it's

93
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: a foul or a good hit, and they called the

94
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: flag on it and we gotta live with it.

95
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 2: How do you assess the bike can go out?

96
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 4: Justin Jefferson, they're gonna have cook er feeling from last year.

97
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: So, uh, there's still a good football team, a real

98
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 1: good football team. You talk about power and Addison receivers,

99
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: and I think everything starts with a cousin. You know,

100
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: Court is still playing at a high level. He's a

101
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 1: season vet, can make every throw, smart, understand the looks

102
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: that you're giving him, and he's gonna know exactly where

103
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 1: to go with the ball, so we got to do

104
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 1: a great job and stopping the run. I think Madison

105
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 1: to me is, you know at times you blank you.

106
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 1: He looks like Cook, you know the way he runs

107
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: the ball. So they're gonna do a great job and

108
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: really trying to establish the run and then quickly do

109
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:33,359
Speaker 1: what they do best, which is putting the ball in

110
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: the air.

111
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,559
Speaker 3: You have a game that you talked about last week

112
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:38,720
Speaker 3: where there were some things that showed up up film,

113
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 3: and obviously the Vikings are going through that. How do

114
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 3: you work that balance of cleaning stuff up that showed

115
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,479
Speaker 3: up last week knowing the Vikings are going to attack that,

116
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 3: while also not leaving yourself vulnerable in other spots by overcrackting.

117
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,239
Speaker 2: I think this is the copycat league.

118
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: Like I told you before earlier, I don't think it's

119
00:04:58,600 --> 00:04:59,839
Speaker 1: not too much that's original.

120
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 2: You know.

121
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: So anything that we put on tape, we understand and know,

122
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: going all the way back to preseason when when it

123
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 1: was his own read that we didn't you know, do well,

124
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:10,919
Speaker 1: we knew we had the emphasize and work on that

125
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: and we're gonna eventually see it, and we saw it,

126
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: you know, throughout the year. Uh, it's not gonna be

127
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,359
Speaker 1: any different. They gonna attack us on on the perimeter

128
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,479
Speaker 1: this week. We know that, you know, and we gotta

129
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,559
Speaker 1: make sure that we set edges and we got guys

130
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:25,280
Speaker 1: over the top. Let's running to the football. We know

131
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 1: we're gonna get screens. Uh that's what they do. So uh,

132
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: that's all been a point of emphasis. Just really you know,

133
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 1: guys making plays when given our opportunity.

134
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 4: You they br the Browns seemed to run the same

135
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 4: play three times that pitch left to to Ford when

136
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 4: they brought Brian and motion and people's jones you know,

137
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,719
Speaker 4: had to down block I I mean what it looked

138
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,720
Speaker 4: like they just blocked it very well defensively. Like when

139
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 4: you look at that, like what should have happened?

140
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 1: Well, Number one, you know, we play a wide nine,

141
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: so it's it's certain runs that we know that we're

142
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 1: not gonna get a right. And then it's certain ways

143
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: that teams are gonna attack us, which is really trying

144
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,280
Speaker 1: to pend the nine and then get outside on the edge.

145
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,480
Speaker 1: So we got to do a better job there for

146
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 1: it's getting vertical and trying to knock someone off, and

147
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 1: then we can't have guys running to the sideline, all right,

148
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: it's about trying to get downhill and once we emphasized

149
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,480
Speaker 1: and talked about that and trying to clean things up.

150
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 1: So therefore the backers in the safety can run the alley.

151
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 1: That's what it's all about. I think, you know, guys

152
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 1: are just running to parallel and they gotta get vertical.

153
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,720
Speaker 4: There were a lot of mistackles in this game. You've

154
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 4: been doing this a while. What's the coaching point or

155
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 4: what's your process? And trying to just talk about it more.

156
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 4: You yell, you plead, how do you emphasize.

157
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 1: So well, I don't I don't think, you know, yelling

158
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 1: this is the key, which sometimes you want to yell,

159
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 1: particularly doing the game. It's it's all about teaching, you know.

160
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 1: And that's point of emphasis that we we did today,

161
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 1: all right. You know, we had paths on the day,

162
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: so it was tackling you know, every day for it's

163
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: just guys running and tracking in their hip, you know,

164
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,279
Speaker 1: d linemen coming out of the stack. So again it's

165
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:00,919
Speaker 1: just getting back to the fundamentals and technique and everything

166
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 1: that that has made us good up to this point,

167
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,719
Speaker 1: you know, And I think that's what happens uh with

168
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 1: everyone throughout the year that you start thinking about reps,

169
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 1: you start thinking about this and you get away from

170
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 1: the fundamental.

171
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 2: So we r we hit the reset button. That's where

172
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 2: we went this week. A U.

173
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,240

174
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 4: bounced around for it is all of our kind of

175
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 4: a permanent slot.

Speaker 2: Mostly uh uh for us right now.

178
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 1: Yes, I think we have you know, the numbers and

179
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 1: uh particularly the guys that we brought in Anthony Brown

180
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 1: and those guys that can give us flexibility you know,

181
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 1: on the outside as well as he can play inside

182
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: as well. But I think all of her has definitely

183
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:40,640
