WEBVTT - Press Pass: Jim Schwartz

0:00:00.440 --> 0:00:08.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well, you know, I think there's a couple of things.

0:00:08.560 --> 0:00:11.480
<v Speaker 1>First is, um, when when you get me right before

0:00:11.480 --> 0:00:13.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm going out to practice, my mind is certainly not

0:00:13.680 --> 0:00:15.720
<v Speaker 1>talking to you guys. I'm trying to get mentally ready

0:00:15.760 --> 0:00:20.360
<v Speaker 1>for practice. And the other part would be, um, you know,

0:00:20.360 --> 0:00:22.959
<v Speaker 1>I ain't trying to make it tough. But when we

0:00:23.160 --> 0:00:27.040
<v Speaker 1>started with Derek, Um, we're talking about media, and I said,

0:00:27.680 --> 0:00:29.880
<v Speaker 1>the one criteria that I have for speaking to media

0:00:29.920 --> 0:00:31.280
<v Speaker 1>is I never want to speak on the same day

0:00:31.280 --> 0:00:33.800
<v Speaker 1>to take coach speaks. I have way too much respect

0:00:33.880 --> 0:00:36.479
<v Speaker 1>for that chair when I sat in that chair, and

0:00:36.520 --> 0:00:38.120
<v Speaker 1>I got way too much respect for Doug and the

0:00:38.159 --> 0:00:41.159
<v Speaker 1>chair he's got to sit in to to speak on

0:00:41.280 --> 0:00:43.960
<v Speaker 1>the same day. So anyway, that that that was my thing.

0:00:43.960 --> 0:00:47.080
<v Speaker 1>But if this works better for you guys, um, you know,

0:00:47.120 --> 0:00:50.400
<v Speaker 1>then then that's fine. Um, we can we can keep

0:00:50.440 --> 0:00:55.160
<v Speaker 1>we can keep going. Yeah, well, we already played him once,

0:00:55.240 --> 0:00:58.320
<v Speaker 1>so you know that's probably the downside of this is

0:00:58.320 --> 0:01:00.720
<v Speaker 1>we're not going to be were weren't we Our game

0:01:00.720 --> 0:01:02.960
<v Speaker 1>plan is not final and you guys know me, I

0:01:02.960 --> 0:01:06.120
<v Speaker 1>probably don't talk very much about game plan anyway. Um,

0:01:06.160 --> 0:01:08.240
<v Speaker 1>but that is sort of the downside of this. It

0:01:08.319 --> 0:01:11.840
<v Speaker 1>probably helps um recap the game maybe a little bit

0:01:11.880 --> 0:01:14.920
<v Speaker 1>better at a time timely your fashion. But it also

0:01:14.959 --> 0:01:17.840
<v Speaker 1>we're not into the game plan weekend, and honestly, you know,

0:01:17.920 --> 0:01:20.199
<v Speaker 1>Doug hasn't really had a chance to set the tone

0:01:20.280 --> 0:01:23.280
<v Speaker 1>for the upcoming week. So it's probably a double edged thing.

0:01:23.319 --> 0:01:29.000
<v Speaker 1>But we'll see how it goes. Yesterday they gave effort.

0:01:29.040 --> 0:01:32.319
<v Speaker 1>Do you agree with that, particularly on the defensive. Well,

0:01:32.360 --> 0:01:34.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, I think anytime things aren't going well, you're

0:01:34.920 --> 0:01:38.279
<v Speaker 1>looking at everything that you can, whether it's schemes, whether

0:01:38.360 --> 0:01:42.760
<v Speaker 1>it's individual effort, whether it's collective effort. Um, it's a

0:01:42.760 --> 0:01:45.160
<v Speaker 1>tough situation. It's twenty nine to nothing in this game. Here.

0:01:45.200 --> 0:01:47.480
<v Speaker 1>Here's what I'd say about that, and I actually UM

0:01:47.880 --> 0:01:52.200
<v Speaker 1>talk to the defense about that this morning. Um, when

0:01:52.200 --> 0:01:54.160
<v Speaker 1>it's all said and done, we have to take the

0:01:54.240 --> 0:01:58.440
<v Speaker 1>most pride in our effort. And sometimes there might be

0:01:58.440 --> 0:02:01.880
<v Speaker 1>a difference between effort and energy. It's hard to have

0:02:02.000 --> 0:02:04.880
<v Speaker 1>energy when you're down twenty nine to nothing. Um, it's

0:02:04.880 --> 0:02:07.120
<v Speaker 1>not hard to have have effort. And I think you

0:02:07.200 --> 0:02:11.160
<v Speaker 1>saw us have effort. It's twenty nine nothing. We give

0:02:11.240 --> 0:02:14.400
<v Speaker 1>up a first down and Benny Logan runs twenty five

0:02:14.440 --> 0:02:16.960
<v Speaker 1>yards down the field and uh and cause us a

0:02:17.000 --> 0:02:19.560
<v Speaker 1>fumble And was that the fourth quarter? That was the

0:02:19.680 --> 0:02:24.000
<v Speaker 1>beginning of a fourth quarter. You don't do that without effort,

0:02:25.360 --> 0:02:28.200
<v Speaker 1>you know. We we cut it to two scores with

0:02:28.520 --> 0:02:31.639
<v Speaker 1>whatever that was six minutes to play and didn't get

0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:34.560
<v Speaker 1>the on side kick and got the twenty four years

0:02:34.560 --> 0:02:36.240
<v Speaker 1>in the NFL, don't tell me about a two score

0:02:36.360 --> 0:02:38.120
<v Speaker 1>game with six minutes to play. Man, I've been on

0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:42.080
<v Speaker 1>the I've been on both sides of those. And we

0:02:42.120 --> 0:02:43.919
<v Speaker 1>didn't get the on side kick, and it was it

0:02:43.960 --> 0:02:45.760
<v Speaker 1>was a little bit deflating. You know, it's hard to

0:02:45.800 --> 0:02:48.600
<v Speaker 1>have energy. You didn't get the on side kick. Go out, Um,

0:02:48.760 --> 0:02:52.400
<v Speaker 1>we go out and and force a fumble, you know.

0:02:52.440 --> 0:02:55.040
<v Speaker 1>And Nigel actually was covering an eligible tighten and they

0:02:55.040 --> 0:02:57.920
<v Speaker 1>sort of ran a trick play they wiped seventy four

0:02:58.000 --> 0:03:00.440
<v Speaker 1>and he had him covered and they booted way and

0:03:00.480 --> 0:03:02.239
<v Speaker 1>then he started he fell off him and then it

0:03:02.320 --> 0:03:05.040
<v Speaker 1>was like, you know, man, I gotta go get him.

0:03:05.200 --> 0:03:07.360
<v Speaker 1>Guy catches the ball. He didn't give up on the play,

0:03:07.880 --> 0:03:09.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, he did. He went out and caused to

0:03:09.280 --> 0:03:12.800
<v Speaker 1>fumble and when Michael Kendrick picked it up, Michael didn't

0:03:12.800 --> 0:03:14.560
<v Speaker 1>pick it up and fall down on the ground to

0:03:14.600 --> 0:03:17.000
<v Speaker 1>avoid a hit. He didn't step out of bounds. He

0:03:17.040 --> 0:03:19.240
<v Speaker 1>picked it up when he was trying to score, you know,

0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:22.240
<v Speaker 1>And I'm encouraged by all those things. You don't always

0:03:22.240 --> 0:03:26.200
<v Speaker 1>play your best, but I'm encouraged by by those kind

0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:28.960
<v Speaker 1>of things. I think that I would agree that we

0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:31.800
<v Speaker 1>need to play with more energy. And that's that's a

0:03:31.840 --> 0:03:34.280
<v Speaker 1>hard thing sometimes too. You know, you're down twenty nine

0:03:34.320 --> 0:03:36.000
<v Speaker 1>to nothing. I've been there. You know you make a sack.

0:03:36.000 --> 0:03:39.000
<v Speaker 1>It's twenty nine to nothing. If you get excited and

0:03:39.120 --> 0:03:41.720
<v Speaker 1>high five and have a sack dance. Man, you guys

0:03:41.760 --> 0:03:43.800
<v Speaker 1>probably say it. I probably say at home watching TV,

0:03:43.960 --> 0:03:45.680
<v Speaker 1>man they did not go know what the score is.

0:03:46.160 --> 0:03:48.280
<v Speaker 1>But if you walk back to the huddle and put

0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:50.680
<v Speaker 1>your head down and you know, and just go through

0:03:50.720 --> 0:03:52.600
<v Speaker 1>the motions, then everybody says the other things say, man,

0:03:52.600 --> 0:03:54.640
<v Speaker 1>they're not into it, they're not spirited. So I just

0:03:54.880 --> 0:03:56.560
<v Speaker 1>I just told our guys, hey, lets the chips fall

0:03:56.560 --> 0:03:58.440
<v Speaker 1>where they may play with some emotion, play with some

0:03:59.320 --> 0:04:02.800
<v Speaker 1>play with some Uh be willing to put yourself out there.

0:04:02.840 --> 0:04:04.760
<v Speaker 1>And I think, don't worry about you know anything else.

0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:10.760
<v Speaker 1>I seem like when you were falling behind. Yeah, I

0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:14.320
<v Speaker 1>mean there's I think if we had a handle on that,

0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:18.480
<v Speaker 1>if you could just put a formula on that every game. Um,

0:04:18.640 --> 0:04:21.880
<v Speaker 1>I think that ever anybody in sports, whether it's football,

0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:26.560
<v Speaker 1>whether it's the Eagles, whether it's baseball or hockey or basketball, Um,

0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:29.080
<v Speaker 1>you'd have a you'd have a pretty good monopoly. Um.

0:04:29.440 --> 0:04:32.880
<v Speaker 1>There's human nature that goes into this game. Um, you

0:04:32.920 --> 0:04:34.920
<v Speaker 1>know we didn't start that game very well. We went

0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:37.160
<v Speaker 1>three and out on offense, that got the ball at midfield,

0:04:37.200 --> 0:04:38.880
<v Speaker 1>We gave up a field goal, We had a chance

0:04:38.920 --> 0:04:41.240
<v Speaker 1>to get an interception. Man, what a change that would

0:04:41.279 --> 0:04:45.600
<v Speaker 1>have made. Imagine, imagine we make that play, get that interception. Um,

0:04:45.640 --> 0:04:47.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, get that lead. Man, you're probably be writing

0:04:48.000 --> 0:04:50.480
<v Speaker 1>a writing a different story. You'd say, Man, they did

0:04:50.480 --> 0:04:53.120
<v Speaker 1>have energy to start. And I think I goes to

0:04:53.240 --> 0:04:55.760
<v Speaker 1>what I was talking to the to the guys about today.

0:04:55.839 --> 0:04:58.600
<v Speaker 1>Regardless of what that scoreboard says, you got to come

0:04:58.640 --> 0:05:02.560
<v Speaker 1>out and you got to play. And as there's, um

0:05:02.640 --> 0:05:06.160
<v Speaker 1>the camaraderie there, it's it's too precious, not too and um,

0:05:06.760 --> 0:05:10.240
<v Speaker 1>you know I was a little bit, um, I would

0:05:10.240 --> 0:05:13.320
<v Speaker 1>say disappointed at that disappointed might be a fine word

0:05:14.000 --> 0:05:18.000
<v Speaker 1>or an okay word. Um, but you know we need

0:05:18.040 --> 0:05:20.239
<v Speaker 1>to play with more energy, whether it's at the beginning

0:05:20.440 --> 0:05:23.480
<v Speaker 1>or at the end. And um, you know that's that's

0:05:23.480 --> 0:05:38.919
<v Speaker 1>a challenge every week. Yeah, you're talking about Rodney. Yeah,

0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:43.880
<v Speaker 1>I think I think you're I'll say you're you're off base.

0:05:43.960 --> 0:05:46.080
<v Speaker 1>But I looked at that play because Derek brought that

0:05:46.120 --> 0:05:50.240
<v Speaker 1>to my attention, and um, his fit on that play

0:05:50.600 --> 0:05:53.920
<v Speaker 1>is not inside, his fit is outside, and he got

0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:57.040
<v Speaker 1>caught flat footed. You know, he's getting ready to fit backside.

0:05:57.040 --> 0:05:58.920
<v Speaker 1>All of a sudden the ball pops out front side

0:05:59.480 --> 0:06:02.240
<v Speaker 1>and he wasn't expecting anything right there. I'll tell you what,

0:06:02.279 --> 0:06:05.440
<v Speaker 1>I'll put my name on Rodney McCloud any day. That

0:06:05.480 --> 0:06:07.480
<v Speaker 1>guy plays the way the game supposed to be played.

0:06:07.560 --> 0:06:09.560
<v Speaker 1>He's tough, he's not the biggest guy on the field,

0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:11.600
<v Speaker 1>but that guy is a warrior and he's going to

0:06:11.640 --> 0:06:13.760
<v Speaker 1>do everything he can to win that game. He got

0:06:13.760 --> 0:06:17.080
<v Speaker 1>caught flatfoot. It probably no different than a baseball player.

0:06:17.160 --> 0:06:19.400
<v Speaker 1>That's that's looking at sitting on a fastball and you

0:06:19.480 --> 0:06:21.280
<v Speaker 1>throw a change up and he looks full of showing

0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:24.560
<v Speaker 1>a play that wasn't his best presentation. He didn't look

0:06:24.720 --> 0:06:27.640
<v Speaker 1>good on that play, but I think that had a

0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:29.800
<v Speaker 1>lot more to do with where he was expecting that

0:06:29.839 --> 0:06:33.560
<v Speaker 1>ball than anything else. That's early in that game. Yeah,

0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:37.120
<v Speaker 1>and I would probably even agree with you, say, after

0:06:38.920 --> 0:06:41.480
<v Speaker 1>we got that ball back on that play and Carson

0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:43.960
<v Speaker 1>threw his last interception and it's two score and they're

0:06:43.960 --> 0:06:48.120
<v Speaker 1>in field goal range, if if we had given up

0:06:48.160 --> 0:06:51.200
<v Speaker 1>that touchdown, then man, that would have perked my eyes

0:06:51.800 --> 0:06:53.920
<v Speaker 1>right there if he would have had that play early

0:06:54.040 --> 0:06:55.920
<v Speaker 1>in that game. Right there. That guy's a warrior. And

0:06:56.320 --> 0:06:58.960
<v Speaker 1>like I said, I'll put my name on, put my

0:06:59.080 --> 0:07:05.400
<v Speaker 1>name beside Rodden Cloud. Anytime previously season they have you

0:07:05.560 --> 0:07:11.320
<v Speaker 1>guys this game just wait, the season is trending. That's hey,

0:07:11.360 --> 0:07:14.320
<v Speaker 1>I have better game. Well, you know we talk all

0:07:14.360 --> 0:07:16.760
<v Speaker 1>the time, and this goes back to training camp. Um.

0:07:17.800 --> 0:07:20.640
<v Speaker 1>You know, for nine weeks you probably could not mention

0:07:22.200 --> 0:07:25.920
<v Speaker 1>best defenses in the NFL without mentioning the Eagles. Um,

0:07:26.280 --> 0:07:30.120
<v Speaker 1>the last three you probably can't mention worst defenses in

0:07:30.160 --> 0:07:32.680
<v Speaker 1>the NFL without mentioning Eagles. Hey, facts life, man, that's

0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:38.000
<v Speaker 1>that's that's that's that's what it is, Um, same schemes,

0:07:38.040 --> 0:07:41.960
<v Speaker 1>same same players. I mean, other than Ron Brooks pretty

0:07:42.040 --> 0:07:44.480
<v Speaker 1>much the same, the same bunch. We're in a slump,

0:07:45.600 --> 0:07:47.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, I mean, we have to we have to

0:07:47.720 --> 0:07:50.559
<v Speaker 1>own that we're in a three gat three game slump.

0:07:50.640 --> 0:07:53.040
<v Speaker 1>We've had. We had good games and bad games in

0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:56.360
<v Speaker 1>that nine stretch early. You know, some games we played

0:07:56.400 --> 0:07:59.240
<v Speaker 1>better than others. But these last three we've we've been

0:07:59.320 --> 0:08:02.520
<v Speaker 1>in a slump. You know, for a lot of different reasons.

0:08:02.600 --> 0:08:04.720
<v Speaker 1>Third down the last two games, third down has been

0:08:04.720 --> 0:08:06.880
<v Speaker 1>a significant part of that. This last game, penalty has

0:08:06.920 --> 0:08:09.480
<v Speaker 1>had a significant partition of that. And sort of to

0:08:09.560 --> 0:08:13.640
<v Speaker 1>go back to the to the effort question, those penalties

0:08:13.680 --> 0:08:17.760
<v Speaker 1>we had, they weren't from lack of attention. They weren't

0:08:17.880 --> 0:08:22.880
<v Speaker 1>from um lack of composure. They were aggressive penalties. I

0:08:22.960 --> 0:08:26.880
<v Speaker 1>mean anytimes I mean Brandon Graham is fighting to get

0:08:26.920 --> 0:08:29.280
<v Speaker 1>to the quarterback, He's three hundred pounders, you know, trying

0:08:29.320 --> 0:08:32.160
<v Speaker 1>to get him. He's off balanced, you know, he goes

0:08:32.240 --> 0:08:34.400
<v Speaker 1>low on the quarterback. I mean, he knows he can't

0:08:34.440 --> 0:08:36.400
<v Speaker 1>go low on the quarterback. He's trying to get him.

0:08:36.400 --> 0:08:38.319
<v Speaker 1>If he swipes his leg, he's got a better chance.

0:08:38.960 --> 0:08:42.400
<v Speaker 1>U Jalen Watkins, I mean, that guy's got that ball.

0:08:42.440 --> 0:08:44.400
<v Speaker 1>That guy's fighting to try to get a first down,

0:08:45.080 --> 0:08:47.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, and he goes in to clean that tackle

0:08:47.400 --> 0:08:48.920
<v Speaker 1>up to try to get us off the field on

0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:51.679
<v Speaker 1>a critical third down, and the guy ducks his head.

0:08:51.720 --> 0:08:54.719
<v Speaker 1>He ends up hitting him in the head. You know,

0:08:55.400 --> 0:08:58.320
<v Speaker 1>those penalties hurt us. We recognize that, and we want

0:08:58.320 --> 0:09:00.360
<v Speaker 1>to avoid penalties the best we can. But I tell

0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:03.240
<v Speaker 1>you what, if you gave me the choice of Jamen

0:09:03.320 --> 0:09:07.800
<v Speaker 1>Watkins um getting that foul right there or passing on

0:09:08.000 --> 0:09:11.760
<v Speaker 1>that hit and that guy fighting for the first down,

0:09:12.880 --> 0:09:14.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean we all would have lost our Philadelphia card

0:09:15.080 --> 0:09:17.800
<v Speaker 1>right there. I mean, you know, you could never be

0:09:17.840 --> 0:09:20.000
<v Speaker 1>able to step out for pizza and sail Philly if

0:09:20.360 --> 0:09:22.480
<v Speaker 1>if he had, if he had, if if he hadn't,

0:09:22.720 --> 0:09:25.800
<v Speaker 1>if he hadn't tried to make that play, And um,

0:09:25.920 --> 0:09:28.400
<v Speaker 1>I think that, But that doesn't change the fact that

0:09:28.559 --> 0:09:30.880
<v Speaker 1>penalties had a big effect. Their down had a bit

0:09:30.880 --> 0:09:42.199
<v Speaker 1>of a big effect in this game. So yeah, you know,

0:09:42.280 --> 0:09:44.520
<v Speaker 1>we blitzed an awful lot in this game. I think

0:09:44.760 --> 0:09:47.560
<v Speaker 1>I think I called nineteen blitz is seventeens. A couple

0:09:47.600 --> 0:09:50.840
<v Speaker 1>of them we audibled out of um, you know, since

0:09:50.880 --> 0:09:52.199
<v Speaker 1>he was since he was gonna try to make it

0:09:52.280 --> 0:09:55.959
<v Speaker 1>hard to blitz and a couple of those looks, and

0:09:56.480 --> 0:09:58.360
<v Speaker 1>you might get sued for malpractice if you try to

0:09:58.400 --> 0:10:00.600
<v Speaker 1>blitz a couple of those looks during max protection. They're

0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:03.680
<v Speaker 1>wanting you to blitz and then keep you lighting coverage.

0:10:04.760 --> 0:10:07.400
<v Speaker 1>You know, facts were in this game. We got beat

0:10:07.480 --> 0:10:11.040
<v Speaker 1>in blitz, we got beat in in zone. We got

0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:14.440
<v Speaker 1>beating covered two, we got beaten two man, we got

0:10:14.520 --> 0:10:16.840
<v Speaker 1>beaten six. We rolled through every one. We got beating

0:10:16.880 --> 0:10:20.360
<v Speaker 1>all of them. And you know, and facts of life,

0:10:20.400 --> 0:10:24.679
<v Speaker 1>our corners aren't playing very well right now. It doesn't

0:10:24.720 --> 0:10:26.680
<v Speaker 1>meet I've lost confidence in them because that's the same

0:10:26.800 --> 0:10:28.960
<v Speaker 1>bunch of corners that shut down some of the best

0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:31.800
<v Speaker 1>offenses in the NFL. But we're in a slump. And

0:10:32.200 --> 0:10:34.400
<v Speaker 1>it didn't matter what we were calling. And I've got

0:10:34.800 --> 0:10:37.080
<v Speaker 1>a couple of weeks ago when I was up here,

0:10:37.120 --> 0:10:38.920
<v Speaker 1>we were talking about I think it was Minnesota, maybe

0:10:38.960 --> 0:10:43.280
<v Speaker 1>at Land. I think Minnesota, and I said, it didn't

0:10:43.280 --> 0:10:46.040
<v Speaker 1>matter what I was calling. They were all working, you know,

0:10:46.360 --> 0:10:49.760
<v Speaker 1>And in this game it didn't matter, and it didn't

0:10:49.760 --> 0:10:53.719
<v Speaker 1>matter what we're calling. It wasn't working. You know. I

0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:57.079
<v Speaker 1>think I watched enough baseball and talk baseball players deal

0:10:57.120 --> 0:10:59.280
<v Speaker 1>with slumps all the time. The only thing you can

0:10:59.360 --> 0:11:01.640
<v Speaker 1>do in a slum is go back to basics, go

0:11:01.760 --> 0:11:04.800
<v Speaker 1>back to technique. If you're a corner, it's all about technique,

0:11:04.800 --> 0:11:06.520
<v Speaker 1>one of those two things. It's about technique and it's

0:11:06.520 --> 0:11:09.400
<v Speaker 1>about confidence. We're not playing with a lot of confidence

0:11:09.440 --> 0:11:12.200
<v Speaker 1>a corner, and we need to taighten up our technique.

0:11:13.559 --> 0:11:20.440
<v Speaker 1>Talking about and a lot of invested in the musician, UMAs,

0:11:20.440 --> 0:11:22.480
<v Speaker 1>don't do that. I don't think that's the only outside

0:11:24.200 --> 0:11:27.320
<v Speaker 1>is that where you is that your school thought? When

0:11:27.360 --> 0:11:32.160
<v Speaker 1>it comes to you know, personnelity, well, you know, a

0:11:32.240 --> 0:11:35.600
<v Speaker 1>lot of it is availability. Also, you know, I mean

0:11:35.960 --> 0:11:38.199
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of great corners in the league that

0:11:38.240 --> 0:11:40.599
<v Speaker 1>don't become available in free agency. And you gotta you

0:11:40.640 --> 0:11:43.120
<v Speaker 1>gotta take every chance you can to improve our team,

0:11:43.440 --> 0:11:45.199
<v Speaker 1>um or to improve any way you can. There's something

0:11:45.240 --> 0:11:47.160
<v Speaker 1>to be said for being strong up the middle. Also.

0:11:47.880 --> 0:11:52.079
<v Speaker 1>Um yeah, so I guess I'll bet I'm on any

0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:54.439
<v Speaker 1>other way to answer it with that, But the corners

0:11:54.480 --> 0:12:03.880
<v Speaker 1>are important, you know, blown, I don't know which one

0:12:03.880 --> 0:12:06.160
<v Speaker 1>you're referring to it when you say blown coverages. We

0:12:06.480 --> 0:12:08.960
<v Speaker 1>got beat with technique. I don't think we had anything

0:12:09.120 --> 0:12:14.480
<v Speaker 1>that yeah, he got. If you watch it, he's set

0:12:14.600 --> 0:12:17.160
<v Speaker 1>down inside. He bit on the first move and then

0:12:17.400 --> 0:12:19.000
<v Speaker 1>and then the guy got up and threw it open

0:12:19.080 --> 0:12:22.560
<v Speaker 1>on the on the outside. I mean, it wasn't a miscommunication.

0:12:22.640 --> 0:12:25.200
<v Speaker 1>That's just one bad step. And that's this league. Man.

0:12:25.280 --> 0:12:26.839
<v Speaker 1>You take one bad step, you can look bad. I

0:12:26.880 --> 0:12:28.959
<v Speaker 1>think it falls a little bit with um. You know,

0:12:29.080 --> 0:12:33.400
<v Speaker 1>with our you know talk before about got technique. It's

0:12:33.400 --> 0:12:35.719
<v Speaker 1>a technique and it's confidence and that's not just a

0:12:35.800 --> 0:12:38.400
<v Speaker 1>corner thing. That's a safety thing. But you know, you

0:12:38.679 --> 0:12:40.199
<v Speaker 1>look at I think cross, but I don't. I don't

0:12:40.240 --> 0:12:43.559
<v Speaker 1>think that. I don't think that communication was an issue. Um.

0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:45.800
<v Speaker 1>In this we there was only one play I think

0:12:45.840 --> 0:12:48.280
<v Speaker 1>that we had a miscommunication. That was when they were

0:12:48.320 --> 0:12:50.000
<v Speaker 1>backed up and they ran the ball out of that

0:12:50.160 --> 0:12:53.000
<v Speaker 1>full house backfield. There was an adjustment that we had

0:12:53.080 --> 0:12:54.760
<v Speaker 1>made after the first time they ran it, because they

0:12:54.800 --> 0:12:58.160
<v Speaker 1>had never shown that before that the second time we didn't.

0:12:58.440 --> 0:13:00.079
<v Speaker 1>We didn't make that play and we gave a some

0:13:00.200 --> 0:13:03.560
<v Speaker 1>rushing yards. But I thought our rushing defense certainly wasn't

0:13:03.600 --> 0:13:05.800
<v Speaker 1>a problem in this game. We played the wrong pretty well.

0:13:10.280 --> 0:13:18.199
<v Speaker 1>I mean I missed no, no, no, we all we

0:13:18.240 --> 0:13:20.760
<v Speaker 1>all about it. I think seventeen of them were actually executed.

0:13:21.000 --> 0:13:22.920
<v Speaker 1>There's a there's a couple that weren't. There was there

0:13:23.000 --> 0:13:32.079
<v Speaker 1>was two that weren't. I guess I don't know that

0:13:32.320 --> 0:13:35.280
<v Speaker 1>the first UM, I don't know how many yards it was,

0:13:35.360 --> 0:13:38.439
<v Speaker 1>but the first third down we gave up unling down

0:13:38.480 --> 0:13:42.600
<v Speaker 1>the field. That was blitz um. You know, there were

0:13:42.600 --> 0:13:44.920
<v Speaker 1>all ways, and sometimes the best answer to being able

0:13:44.960 --> 0:13:46.840
<v Speaker 1>to cover them is get the ball to come out quicker.

0:13:47.440 --> 0:13:49.720
<v Speaker 1>There's double edge to that too. If they pick up

0:13:49.800 --> 0:13:52.600
<v Speaker 1>that blitz um, you can get isolated and coverage a lot.

0:13:52.960 --> 0:13:56.040
<v Speaker 1>And I'll go back technique confidence. We need those things

0:14:03.679 --> 0:14:16.240
<v Speaker 1>so UM. You know, it really depends on situation, It

0:14:16.360 --> 0:14:19.920
<v Speaker 1>depends on opponent, it depends on UM. You know a

0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:22.760
<v Speaker 1>lot of different things. There are times to be aggressive.

0:14:23.120 --> 0:14:26.200
<v Speaker 1>There are times, UM, you know that you're better off

0:14:26.680 --> 0:14:29.440
<v Speaker 1>in a different technique. I think you can't go to

0:14:29.600 --> 0:14:33.080
<v Speaker 1>too steady a diet of anything, any one thing right there.

0:14:33.520 --> 0:14:35.560
<v Speaker 1>I agree with you. I do think it goes hand

0:14:35.640 --> 0:14:38.560
<v Speaker 1>in hand with UM with coverage. If you're not covering well,

0:14:39.240 --> 0:14:40.760
<v Speaker 1>you can rush all you want, you're not going to

0:14:40.840 --> 0:14:43.040
<v Speaker 1>get there because the ball's coming out quick. The other end,

0:14:43.120 --> 0:14:45.040
<v Speaker 1>of that is if you're not rushing well, you can

0:14:45.080 --> 0:14:47.440
<v Speaker 1>cover as well as you want. If that quarterback's holding

0:14:47.440 --> 0:14:52.280
<v Speaker 1>the ball forever, Um, you know it. Those guys understand that,

0:14:52.440 --> 0:14:55.040
<v Speaker 1>they understand that their success has a lot to do

0:14:55.200 --> 0:14:59.400
<v Speaker 1>with with other guys success. I think that, UM, you know,

0:14:59.560 --> 0:15:03.320
<v Speaker 1>there's there's times to be aggressive in coverage. A couple

0:15:03.320 --> 0:15:06.800
<v Speaker 1>of weeks ago playing Atlanta, um LEO was very aggressive

0:15:06.880 --> 0:15:09.920
<v Speaker 1>on a play, give up an eighty yard touchdown. You know,

0:15:10.160 --> 0:15:12.400
<v Speaker 1>it's all probably right, too aggresive in coverage, you know,

0:15:12.480 --> 0:15:14.240
<v Speaker 1>and then and then you're off and you give up

0:15:14.240 --> 0:15:16.440
<v Speaker 1>a play in front. Not aggressive enough in coverage. Man,

0:15:16.520 --> 0:15:20.280
<v Speaker 1>it's tough league. It's it's it's tough business out there. UM,

0:15:20.480 --> 0:15:25.760
<v Speaker 1>can't lose your confidence back, you know, I think, And

0:15:26.240 --> 0:15:29.720
<v Speaker 1>I'll go back to that baseball UM comparison because I'm

0:15:29.760 --> 0:15:32.440
<v Speaker 1>a big baseball fan and I've heard guys talking. And

0:15:32.520 --> 0:15:35.440
<v Speaker 1>I was kid in Baltimore. It was an oriole player

0:15:35.520 --> 0:15:39.600
<v Speaker 1>named Lee May and he was a streaky hitter. Yeah,

0:15:39.920 --> 0:15:43.360
<v Speaker 1>And I mean he was that guy that when he

0:15:43.520 --> 0:15:46.720
<v Speaker 1>was hot, it didn't matter. You could throw him, you know,

0:15:47.000 --> 0:15:50.000
<v Speaker 1>high fastball and he was hitting it, change up, curveball,

0:15:50.120 --> 0:15:51.840
<v Speaker 1>the ball was probably like a beach ball to him,

0:15:51.880 --> 0:15:54.320
<v Speaker 1>and he was just stroking. But he could also go

0:15:54.440 --> 0:15:57.280
<v Speaker 1>in some wicked slumps. I mean, just just terrible slumps.

0:15:58.240 --> 0:16:00.360
<v Speaker 1>I was, I was, I was too young to remember,

0:16:00.480 --> 0:16:02.840
<v Speaker 1>but watching all the other stuff in nineteen seventy and

0:16:02.840 --> 0:16:05.680
<v Speaker 1>the Orioles beat them. Since he in the um in

0:16:05.800 --> 0:16:08.040
<v Speaker 1>the World Series, he was the only guy that could

0:16:08.080 --> 0:16:10.640
<v Speaker 1>hit for the Reds. He batted like four hundred with

0:16:10.720 --> 0:16:13.040
<v Speaker 1>two home runs. He was they were down five to three.

0:16:13.120 --> 0:16:15.640
<v Speaker 1>It's the only home run that or he you have

0:16:15.720 --> 0:16:20.280
<v Speaker 1>the only win in that game anyway. Um, But when

0:16:20.840 --> 0:16:22.840
<v Speaker 1>when it's not going good, it looks like a seed.

0:16:23.280 --> 0:16:25.240
<v Speaker 1>You know, you're not You're not hitting it. And he

0:16:25.320 --> 0:16:27.600
<v Speaker 1>had a famous quote one time. They wanted them to

0:16:27.760 --> 0:16:30.840
<v Speaker 1>take extra batting practice, and he said, who's going to

0:16:30.880 --> 0:16:33.400
<v Speaker 1>be pitching. It's like a pitching coach. And I'm not

0:16:33.440 --> 0:16:36.440
<v Speaker 1>having a problem hitting him. You know, I'm a problem

0:16:36.440 --> 0:16:40.880
<v Speaker 1>with those other guys. Um. But alongside, way way too much,

0:16:40.960 --> 0:16:44.360
<v Speaker 1>way too long story there. Um, here's here's the thing

0:16:44.440 --> 0:16:46.760
<v Speaker 1>that always got me with baseball players and hearing those

0:16:46.800 --> 0:16:49.640
<v Speaker 1>guys to get themselves out of the slump and slumps

0:16:49.680 --> 0:16:52.120
<v Speaker 1>happening in baseball. I mean, it's probably more so than

0:16:52.200 --> 0:16:55.400
<v Speaker 1>any other any other sport. You'd go over sixteen or

0:16:55.520 --> 0:16:58.320
<v Speaker 1>something like that. Every single guy that I've ever heard

0:16:58.360 --> 0:17:00.440
<v Speaker 1>talk about getting themselves out of a slump. It had

0:17:00.480 --> 0:17:03.960
<v Speaker 1>nothing to do with burning his bats or um changing

0:17:04.000 --> 0:17:08.320
<v Speaker 1>his sweatshirt or changing you know, his whole approach. It

0:17:08.520 --> 0:17:12.120
<v Speaker 1>was always about going back and watching himself be successful. Hey,

0:17:12.240 --> 0:17:13.960
<v Speaker 1>let me go back and watch when I was hot,

0:17:14.280 --> 0:17:16.000
<v Speaker 1>and let me go back to that, and let me

0:17:16.040 --> 0:17:17.840
<v Speaker 1>see where I've got away from those things. And I

0:17:17.920 --> 0:17:21.200
<v Speaker 1>think that falls a little bit what I talked about before. Technique, technique, technique,

0:17:21.800 --> 0:17:25.480
<v Speaker 1>and you know, I think that you know, you go

0:17:25.600 --> 0:17:28.159
<v Speaker 1>back and see what you're doing well and when you

0:17:28.240 --> 0:17:30.679
<v Speaker 1>were doing it well, and if you did, you're abably

0:17:30.720 --> 0:17:34.440
<v Speaker 1>playing with good technique. You're playing with energy, um those things.

0:17:34.520 --> 0:17:42.080
<v Speaker 1>And we can get back to that, do you watching

0:17:42.160 --> 0:17:45.359
<v Speaker 1>they were successful more than games where they made mistakes.

0:17:45.359 --> 0:17:48.640
<v Speaker 1>And you know we do that all the time. You're

0:17:48.640 --> 0:17:53.159
<v Speaker 1>always trying to positively reinforce. You know, I think it

0:17:53.280 --> 0:17:55.520
<v Speaker 1>probably falls a little bit like coverage. You can't go

0:17:55.640 --> 0:17:58.200
<v Speaker 1>too much into that. You know, sometimes sometimes there's some

0:17:58.280 --> 0:18:01.879
<v Speaker 1>fire and brimstone. Sometimes you can't shy away from some

0:18:01.960 --> 0:18:04.560
<v Speaker 1>of the place that you that you put on on film.

0:18:04.680 --> 0:18:09.920
<v Speaker 1>But you know, sometimes coaches, um, you know that when

0:18:10.000 --> 0:18:12.199
<v Speaker 1>things aren't going well, you need to find a way

0:18:12.200 --> 0:18:14.200
<v Speaker 1>to bring guys up. And when things are going well,

0:18:14.600 --> 0:18:16.560
<v Speaker 1>you need to find a way to, um, you know,

0:18:16.640 --> 0:18:19.000
<v Speaker 1>bring them back to reality a little bit. And I

0:18:19.119 --> 0:18:21.080
<v Speaker 1>think in this case, it has a lot to do

0:18:21.160 --> 0:18:23.480
<v Speaker 1>with confidence and we need to we need to get

0:18:23.560 --> 0:18:26.360
<v Speaker 1>back to that and they need to know that, um.

0:18:26.760 --> 0:18:30.560
<v Speaker 1>You know, first nine weeks, you know, they were respected

0:18:30.640 --> 0:18:32.760
<v Speaker 1>as for what they put on tape, and the last

0:18:32.840 --> 0:18:35.560
<v Speaker 1>three we've been in a slump and we need to

0:18:35.760 --> 0:18:37.520
<v Speaker 1>we need to get back to those first nine so,

0:18:37.760 --> 0:18:40.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, but we do that a lot follow all right,
