1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,040 Speaker 1: This is still morning. Good morning. Uh. 2 00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:04,600 Speaker 2: We got off to a great start this week. I 3 00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:08,360 Speaker 2: thought practice yesterday was great. Still a lot of work 4 00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:10,520 Speaker 2: to do, of course, as we progress and move towards 5 00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:16,040 Speaker 2: Uh Sunday's game against Detroit. A good football team, extremely 6 00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:21,040 Speaker 2: well coached, offensive coordinators, very creative and then in the 7 00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:22,960 Speaker 2: way he moves the ball around and try to get 8 00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,840 Speaker 2: it to his talent that they have on that team. 9 00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:26,599 Speaker 1: Uh. 10 00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:29,200 Speaker 2: Speaking of the talent, I think everything starts up front. 11 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:34,000 Speaker 2: Offensive line is doing a tremendous job. I know one 12 00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:36,840 Speaker 2: of the guards out this week, but that's not gonna 13 00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:37,760 Speaker 2: really matter. Uh. 14 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:39,280 Speaker 1: They do a great job running the ball. 15 00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:42,760 Speaker 2: I think Montgomery Gibbs one two combinations probably the best 16 00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:46,640 Speaker 2: we've seen all year. Different style of runners, but they're 17 00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,120 Speaker 2: most they They're both are effective in what they do. 18 00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:51,159 Speaker 1: Uh, everything goes through golf. 19 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:53,880 Speaker 2: I think he does a tremendous job and really you know, 20 00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,160 Speaker 2: putting the ball where it needs to be. We got 21 00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:57,760 Speaker 2: to do a great job of really trying to take 22 00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 2: away this run game to limit the vertical passing game 23 00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:01,440 Speaker 2: down the field. 24 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:01,840 Speaker 1: Uh. 25 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:05,160 Speaker 2: Saint Brown's uh playing at a high level. You got Renolds, 26 00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,920 Speaker 2: you got Williams, They got so many weapons and uh 27 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 2: they talk about the porter. Uh I had a hypertended knee. Uh, 28 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,360 Speaker 2: I don't see it on tape. So Uh he's getting 29 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,560 Speaker 2: in and out of his brakes. Uh, he's catching the 30 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,200 Speaker 2: ball and uh getting vertical off the field. So it's 31 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,959 Speaker 2: gonna be a difficult task for us, but we're definitely 32 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 2: gonna be up for And with that, I take your 33 00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:25,280 Speaker 2: questions as. 34 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 1: Far as the uh the run defense. 35 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 3: H How did Chase Young do in that clew and 36 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:31,960 Speaker 3: feral role? Uh on Saturday? 37 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 2: Uh, I think Chase did some good things. Uh on Saturday. 38 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 2: Uh we all need to improve. 39 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 1: Uh. 40 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,120 Speaker 2: So I uh, definitely some improvement that needs to be 41 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,199 Speaker 2: made across the board. Uh, but I thought he stepped 42 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 2: in and did well, did some good things in the 43 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:46,399 Speaker 2: run game. 44 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:47,040 Speaker 1: Uh. 45 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:48,560 Speaker 2: We didn't have any sacks, but I thought he was 46 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 2: very effective in trying to you know, rest the passer, 47 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 2: put some pressure on the quarterback. 48 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 1: So I was pleased. Yes, like doing better containing the edges. 49 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 1: What what did you see that they he wasn't going 50 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 1: as well as you want. Uh, it's not so much. 51 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 2: Well, let me say this, Yeah, we gotta do much 52 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,920 Speaker 2: better job containing the edges and it's not really the 53 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 2: defensive ends, it's the second level, you know. 54 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 1: Uh, we we're getting too. 55 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,360 Speaker 2: Wide where we gotta get vertical, and that's that's the 56 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 2: key thing. We had a point of emphasis with that 57 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,080 Speaker 2: as we watch tape this week, and most importantly the 58 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 2: same thing in practice yesterday and really work on a 59 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 2: permanent run game and doing the things we gotta do 60 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,080 Speaker 2: to make sure we set edges on the defense. 61 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 3: Explosive the junior gibs and what's a key to. 62 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 2: Containing gain Uh, I don't know if you can contain it. 63 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,640 Speaker 2: We gotta do a great job swarmming the ball. And Uh, 64 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 2: he's phenomenal. He's four to three on paper, he's four 65 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 2: to three on on tape. You know he plays to 66 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:43,919 Speaker 2: that speed. 67 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 1: Uh. 68 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 2: Again, they do a great job getting him out in space, 69 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 2: trying to create one on ones with the backers. Uh, 70 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,520 Speaker 2: great job on third down and you know he can 71 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,520 Speaker 2: run in between the tackles and he's most explosively taking 72 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,680 Speaker 2: the ball outside. So uh, definitely someone we gotta definitely 73 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,080 Speaker 2: a rally and as I said before, to the defense, 74 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 2: we gotta swarm tackle this Sunday in order to stop 75 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:05,399 Speaker 2: this run game. 76 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 3: Ryan struggled against the run. It looked like on a 77 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 3: couple of plays the Jones run, he apparely got a 78 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 3: hand on him. Are we gonna see more Jaire Brown 79 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 3: this week at safety. 80 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:16,639 Speaker 1: Or are you gonna stay with Ryan? 81 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,520 Speaker 2: I would say overall, we all gotta improve on the run, 82 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 2: and I know we we we point out uh Logan, Uh, 83 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 2: he gotta improve on his tackling as we know. 84 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 1: Uh, he's gonna get better with that. Uh, jayre still 85 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 1: in the mix. 86 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,799 Speaker 2: We'll see exactly how it goes this week and exactly 87 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 2: how much he's gonna play, if he will play, if 88 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 2: he will start or whatnot. 89 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 1: We don't know. Uh, that's still ongoing process right now. 90 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 3: Thomas said that he his uh his play was probably 91 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 3: part of not getting up reps being out with his 92 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 3: hand injury. How confident are you going forward with him? 93 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 2: Very confident? You know, Uh, he didn't have his best 94 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 2: game as we all saw. Uh, he's pretty resilient in 95 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 2: his demeanor and I know he's gonna bounce back strong again. 96 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 2: We gotta be able to get over the the the 97 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 2: mindset of his wrists and he gotta go out there 98 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 2: and play. But uh, I'm very confident and he's gonna 99 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 2: go back out there and respond this week. 100 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 1: Zero sacks. 101 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 3: When was your assessment for just of the overall pass 102 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,280 Speaker 3: rush pressure? How do you affected love? 103 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 1: Uh? I I thought we affected uh the passer. 104 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 2: Uh, we didn't have the results we wanted from a 105 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:31,720 Speaker 2: standpoint of uh sacks. If you look at it, Uh 106 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 2: he got rid of the ball quickly and in their 107 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,040 Speaker 2: quick game. Uh, he does a great job of really 108 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,479 Speaker 2: hitting that back foot. I'm talking love now and and 109 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 2: just getting rid of the ball. Golf golf does the 110 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,159 Speaker 2: same thing. So Uh, we gotta do a good job 111 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,039 Speaker 2: really getting our hands up when we can't get there, 112 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 2: and we gotta find different ways to get to him, 113 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 2: which we will Uh impacted the defense or change where 114 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:57,040 Speaker 2: you've been able to do the last happen all pro player, 115 00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 2: I mean, uh a guy that's uh a leader of 116 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 2: this team, not just the secondary. So he's definitely miss 117 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 2: and you're gonna see a little bit of that, uh, 118 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,479 Speaker 2: particularly when you know you don't have the performance and 119 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 2: the play that you want. Uh, as you guys mentioned 120 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,719 Speaker 2: on on on a couple of plays, So you're gonna 121 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 2: reference uh huff, but you know we miss him. He's 122 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 2: not here other guys got to step ups over the 123 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 2: past year since your first conversations with this team, what 124 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 2: would you say with. 125 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 3: Your relationship with coach she Haahan that you've learned from him? 126 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 3: And what do you think he's learned from you? 127 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 2: I I C I can't tell you what he's learned 128 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,840 Speaker 2: from me. You have to asks him that question. But uh, 129 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 2: I learned a lot from him. 130 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:39,040 Speaker 1: Just Uh. 131 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 2: He does a great job and really painting a picture 132 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 2: uh at the beginning of the week and what it 133 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:47,040 Speaker 2: needs to look like uh with the team and uh 134 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 2: uh create uh ah a summary on Friday, UH, going 135 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,479 Speaker 2: around the league in certain we call situational football, and 136 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,280 Speaker 2: just making the guys high aware of certain things that 137 00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,360 Speaker 2: have gone on and things that we need to be 138 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,600 Speaker 2: prepared uh four uh. And then he wraps it up 139 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 2: Saturday night before uh the game. 140 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 1: Uh So Uh. I think he's on point. He has 141 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,919 Speaker 1: a great pulse of the team. UH. I think his 142 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 1: messages are on pointing and things. 143 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 2: And he talks about uh the structure of practice rather 144 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:19,920 Speaker 2: we need to cut you know, reps, take the pads off, 145 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 2: keep the pads on. 146 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:21,840 Speaker 1: Uh. 147 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 2: All those things. I think he's just learned from you know, 148 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:26,920 Speaker 2: previc experience. He's been around his whole life with his dad, 149 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 2: so UH, A lot of things I've learned from him 150 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 2: or what strikes you about his confidence r this relatively 151 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:35,359 Speaker 2: early his career, his ability to improve, We. 152 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 1: Have believe UH just that man. 153 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 2: He's just a confident individual, and I think it just 154 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 2: goes with preparation. I think he has put a lot 155 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 2: of time and effort into uh his craft this off season. 156 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:51,360 Speaker 2: Uh you can see his technique UH has improved, which 157 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 2: allows him to be able to go out and there and 158 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:54,279 Speaker 2: perform at a high level. 159 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:56,160 Speaker 1: We have a lot of confidence in him. 160 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,280 Speaker 2: That's the reason why you know we can move him 161 00:06:58,279 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 2: around and do the things that we do with him. 162 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:01,279 Speaker 1: Where the biggest. 163 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 3: Challenge that their uh past block creates and just how 164 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,159 Speaker 3: confident are you that you can beat them there? 165 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 2: Like the quarterback this week, I I I think it's 166 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 2: not so much their their their protection. I think it's 167 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 2: really their run game, which in terms affects their protection. 168 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 1: So when their. 169 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 2: Run game is is going, uh, it allows them to 170 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 2: be able to slow us down a little bit with 171 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 2: the play action. So we gotta do a great job, 172 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 2: as I stated before, and really trying to stop and 173 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 2: take this uh run game away and make these guys 174 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 2: one dimensional. And that's still not gonna be a easy 175 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 2: task because Golf is a real good quarterback. Oh is 176 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 2: their biggest challenge with the kind of the quarter you 177 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 2: don't see where he Titans always come in with the. 178 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 1: Production he's at. 179 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 2: Uh, I I think it. It creates, you know, different issues. 180 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 2: I don't wanna say problems, but different different issues. They 181 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 2: put 'em out at number one like a receiver, you know, uh, 182 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 2: overload the uh front side we'll call triples, putting all 183 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 2: the receivers there in these very very effective uh backside. 184 00:07:58,160 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 1: Uh. They put 'em in the slote. 185 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 2: They put 'em in at three on what we call 186 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 2: race routes, you know, so uh they get the ball 187 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 2: to 'em in different variations. And with him and Saint Brown, Uh, 188 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 2: it's definitely a difficult task. And as I stated before, Reynolds, 189 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 2: excuse me, Williams can take the top off at any time. 190 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 2: See what does. 191 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 3: Wolmack need to do to get back on the field. 192 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 3: You're not using him right now. He was inactive last week. 193 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 3: He's got a lot of talent. What does he need 194 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 3: to do? 195 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 2: Uh, you know, everybody gotta improve. I'm not really d 196 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 2: I'm not trying to diminish your question right here, but 197 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 2: my my focus is more broad on on really the 198 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 2: whole defense as a whole. 199 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:35,760 Speaker 1: You know. 200 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,920 Speaker 2: Uh, he just gotta continue to keep working, you know, 201 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,800 Speaker 2: and the opportunity to come rather special teams rather his defense. 202 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 2: But you know the eleven guys that are that are 203 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,200 Speaker 2: gonna be out there, Uh, they got to step up 204 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 2: and perform. 205 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,080 Speaker 1: This week their play action game. 206 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 3: Uh, they threw the second most passes off play action 207 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 3: and gain the most yards off of that action. 208 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,960 Speaker 1: What makes you so spr so so efficient? From their perspective. 209 00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:00,160 Speaker 2: Uh, Again, I think it's just the two that name 210 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 2: running backs that they have. You know, you put a 211 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,559 Speaker 2: lot of emphasis on trying to stop those guys, so 212 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 2: sometimes you get a little bit more aggressive getting downhill. 213 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:10,479 Speaker 2: That's not only with the linebackers, but also in the secondary, 214 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:14,440 Speaker 2: which now exposes you to you know, a vertical passing 215 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:16,960 Speaker 2: game over the top. So that's something that we're gonna 216 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,080 Speaker 2: have to try to uh diminish. And how you do 217 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:22,079 Speaker 2: that is trying to make them one dimensional. Appreciate it. 218 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 2: Thank you guys said that it's great
