1 00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:12,000 Speaker 1: Cool, they're all clearing out. Assess the tackling job. If 2 00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:19,360 Speaker 1: you guys did over the weekend, maybe you're dropping done tackling. Um, 3 00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:24,000 Speaker 1: we're getting better. It's tackling is a lost art. People 4 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,080 Speaker 1: forget about that part. So we're getting better at that. 5 00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:28,440 Speaker 1: And you know, one miss tacle is one too many. 6 00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:29,880 Speaker 1: So as long as we can keep going in the 7 00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:32,000 Speaker 1: right direction and I will be all right. What you 8 00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:41,519 Speaker 1: normally Obviously it's a lost art. Is it harder to 9 00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,040 Speaker 1: improve it because some of the rules to change as 10 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:47,760 Speaker 1: far as contactos or practice and things like that. Um no, 11 00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:50,280 Speaker 1: I meant the tackle. Just get a guy on the ground. 12 00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 1: You know, we don't make those calls. You know, we're 13 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,520 Speaker 1: just trying to you know, play ball, play fast, get 14 00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:55,840 Speaker 1: the guy on the ground, make sure they don't get 15 00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:57,800 Speaker 1: any extra yards, and kind of go from there. I 16 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,200 Speaker 1: can't worry about the refs or you know, the calls 17 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,800 Speaker 1: and stuff like that. When you look at them, Don 18 00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 1: Miami with the biggest challenges you've been your over understanding 19 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,600 Speaker 1: how the different cult they play good at home? I 20 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:12,880 Speaker 1: mean they're five and one at home, you know, one 21 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 1: to five on the road, so it's you know, two 22 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,839 Speaker 1: totally different teams. So, I mean they're a good team regardless. 23 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:20,040 Speaker 1: You know, they have a lot of good players, a 24 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:23,480 Speaker 1: lot of um, explosive players, you know, doing some injuries, 25 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,280 Speaker 1: but I mean they're still a good team, and they're 26 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,120 Speaker 1: at home, they're gonna they're gonna be ready for us. 27 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:31,840 Speaker 1: Anything within that stadium, like about that environment that you 28 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:37,200 Speaker 1: would describe that does make it tough. Um No, I 29 00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,280 Speaker 1: don't know, there's a They just play hard, man. I 30 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 1: mean the fan I mean the fans are they're obviously 31 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 1: you know they're chirping at us and stuff, but you know, 32 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 1: they play hard. They play hard regardless. You know it's 33 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 1: had some bad breaks and on the road, but you 34 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 1: know it's a totally different team. So we have to 35 00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 1: come come my hair and be ready. Are you aware that, 36 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 1: like even well for Brady in particular, but of all 37 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 1: the places you go on the road, that's kind of 38 00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 1: been your worst record as a franchise and in recent years, 39 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 1: you um just gotta go out there and handle business then, 40 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 1: you know, so we're not. We haven't done good out there, 41 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 1: so hopefully we can turn that around what happened last year. 42 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 1: J Cahler, I think you get pre much John that game, 43 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 1: did you remember, I don't remember. Yeah, something that Bill 44 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,359 Speaker 1: Belichick brings up in meetings all leave all you're a 45 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 1: prease of record. Oh nah, I mean he preach us 46 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 1: to play good, good on the road period. I mean 47 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 1: we have to play better on the road, and you know, 48 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 1: this is a good chance for us to you know, 49 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 1: go out there and you know, play better and against 50 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 1: the team that's gonna play good at home. So we'll 51 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,680 Speaker 1: see how that goes and hopefully we can execute. We'll 52 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 1: just get Dad's out there saying that you guys as 53 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 1: a team are missing fewer tackles the season than you 54 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 1: have in a long time. Is there anything any reason 55 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,680 Speaker 1: you can point to to why that might be because 56 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,520 Speaker 1: we preach it. You mean, you can't tackle, you can't play. 57 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,639 Speaker 1: We have pad John for a reason, you know. So, um, 58 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:55,679 Speaker 1: we preach it, we we practice it, and you know 59 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 1: we want to see that carraver into the game. You know, 60 00:02:58,280 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 1: if you can do that, then you know you have 61 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 1: a good chance. It's just playing the emphasis. There have 62 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 1: been any different now and under under flow than what 63 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 1: it was with beforehand. No, that's not flow us man, 64 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,959 Speaker 1: I mean it's flow. M nyp With's bill. You know, 65 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 1: like you're not gonna go out there and you know, 66 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 1: be a little softy. You know, you gotta go out 67 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 1: there and be physical and play and play, play tough, 68 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 1: play hard. You know you might have to hit some people, 69 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 1: and you know it is what it is. You know, 70 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 1: you gotta be tough out there and just you know, 71 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 1: go play ball. What do you remember about your your 72 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 1: battles with Danny m and duln practice some of the years. 73 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,239 Speaker 1: Dame is a man. I mean that's because it's my friend. 74 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 1: But he's small dude, but you know, he's stronger than 75 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 1: you think. And he's fisty, you know, and and he's 76 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 1: gonna he's gonna be ready for us. You know, he's tough. Dude, 77 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 1: plays to get thrace, plays through injuries, smart, you know. 78 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 1: So whatever the injury report says that we're we're getting 79 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 1: ready for Danny because he's good, he's he'll be there. 80 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 1: He's a tough guy. Yeah stuff. I'm not gonna share 81 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 1: with you though. Thing. What's the challenge of tackling guy 82 00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 1: like Frank or was put along? So you spending here 83 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 1: you know forever, I'm so low and so hard, I mean, yeah, 84 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 1: he's a good back. He's gonna he's gonna make him 85 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 1: miss every once in a while. But I mean tackling 86 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 1: is just more of a wild thing. Either you want 87 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 1: to tackle, you don't, you know, And you know Bill 88 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 1: puts that here. So these guys in this locker room, 89 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,840 Speaker 1: like we're gonna we're trained to play physical play you 90 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,920 Speaker 1: know football, you know, with pads on. But you know, 91 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 1: so will you want to get him on the ground 92 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 1: or you don't, you know? And we practice that here 93 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: and then you know they'll get paid too. They're gonna 94 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 1: make some plays. But you know, if we win that battle, 95 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 1: you know RACI ratio battle, and we'll be all right. 96 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 1: I always have been lucky to work with over health 97 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 1: Finder's type of the safeties room. Oh yeah, I mean 98 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 1: he's he's a cool kid man, he's long, he has 99 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 1: he has, he has all the attributes. So hopefully he 100 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 1: can get it going. Help us. What's been going on 101 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 1: to get the defense playing so well the last two 102 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:55,280 Speaker 1: weeks as opposed to let's say, three weeks ago. Um um, 103 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 1: I think we've been playing hard. We just had you know, 104 00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 1: just a couple of plays where we can you know, 105 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:01,920 Speaker 1: we can eliminate those there's a couple of players that 106 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 1: we can not have. But other than that, man, we've 107 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 1: just been we just put our head down. Man, we've 108 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 1: been going, you know, good play, move on, bad play, 109 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 1: and move on. You know. A coach preaches at you know, 110 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,360 Speaker 1: short memory, you know, so I feel like you might 111 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 1: continue to play well in the next three, four or 112 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,919 Speaker 1: five weeks. That's all that. That's all based on us. 113 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 1: You know, everybody in the room that wants to you know, 114 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 1: continue to get better or get worse, you know, and 115 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 1: we're we're here to get better. And then Bill puts 116 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:33,480 Speaker 1: that into us. Our guys know that. So, um, it's 117 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 1: really just on us. You know, players, players, player, coaches, coach. 118 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 1: So we're out there and we're gonna try to do 119 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 1: all we gotta do to win these games. For us, 120 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:44,560 Speaker 1: that's about it. What makes your eyes good defense that 121 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,920 Speaker 1: evolves over the course of time that you gets for 122 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,359 Speaker 1: the keys to doing that, Uh, just sticking with him, man, 123 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:53,920 Speaker 1: I mean not getting not like I just said, not 124 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 1: getting too down off a bad game, not getting too 125 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 1: crazy off a good game, and just try to stay 126 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 1: consistent and you know, not get complacent. Complacency is a 127 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,840 Speaker 1: big thing that can cause a lot of you know, 128 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,360 Speaker 1: bad plays and you know, no fluctuation and in your 129 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 1: in your in your play, So not getting complacent and 130 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,600 Speaker 1: just continue to be consistent and be professional and then 131 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 1: everything will be fun. Who's your most underrated teammate? Most 132 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 1: underrated teammate? I have a lot of those. I'm gonna 133 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 1: go Malcolm though, Malcolm Brown, because he's he's good man, 134 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,480 Speaker 1: he's smart, and he hustles and no one really sees it. 135 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,280 Speaker 1: No one sees a D line. You know. Everyone's about 136 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 1: you know, wide receivers and safeties and corners and all 137 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 1: this stuff. So no one really pay attentions paid attendence 138 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,359 Speaker 1: to the D line. Nor D line has been hustling 139 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 1: their ass off, you know, and we see that and 140 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,040 Speaker 1: it's getting better and hopefully we can continue doing that. 141 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 1: But you know they're they're doing a very good job. 142 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 1: Better that I know. Last time you played Miami, you 143 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 1: played to Mike it looked like and said, just being 144 00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,599 Speaker 1: a little bit closer, you have a better a benge 145 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:01,599 Speaker 1: point of what he's doing. When you're a few steps 146 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 1: up from where you normally are, uh, I mean, when 147 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 1: you're at middle linebacker, you're just trying to You're just 148 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,360 Speaker 1: gonna get to the ball. You watch film and we 149 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,360 Speaker 1: go over that stuff. So, um, just watch a film. Man. Man, 150 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 1: We're we're we're we're we're good. But we have to 151 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 1: be better if we want to continue to win games 152 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 1: and play better teams as you know, as the season 153 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 1: goes along, we have to continue to you know, work 154 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 1: hard and you know, do us best for the team 155 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 1: and you know, go from there. In the beginning of 156 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 1: training camp, you you guys were talking about how flow 157 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 1: had sort of simplified. How are you just teaching the defense? Um, 158 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,680 Speaker 1: now it looks awful complicated back there with safety work 159 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 1: and stuff like that. So how far have you guys come? Uh? 160 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 1: And how is it built from simple too? Maybe what 161 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 1: it is now?
