1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:02,600
Speaker 1: Facts pretty passion today talk about how like you guys

2
00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:04,560
Speaker 1: need to show what he kept on the same thing,

3
00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:06,360
Speaker 1: maybe a show it this weekend. Has it been sort

4
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:08,959
Speaker 1: of a little heightened sense this week that's a big

5
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:10,879
Speaker 1: time for you guys to step up. I think the

6
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 1: word I read or he used was unacceptable, which I agree,

7
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:17,800
Speaker 1: just hasn't been good enough to our standard. Um, this

8
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 1: execution just hasn't been good enough. So, UM, I think

9
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:23,239
Speaker 1: we know that as players as well. That's the same message.

10
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 1: So we gotta we gotta be better on defense. You

11
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 1: guys come out of the game where you allow five

12
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 1: hundred for teen yards, what's the move in the defensive

13
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 1: meting room early in the week. Um, we got to

14
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:38,960
Speaker 1: improve for sure. Um got improved, just didn't just too

15
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 1: many mental errors, didn't execute our game plan. And um,

16
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 1: you play anybody like that, you're not gonna be anyone

17
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: in the league. The league's too good, too much parody

18
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,519
Speaker 1: and Dallas is pretty good team. You don't play well

19
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 1: against him, you're gonna lose like that. So it just

20
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 1: shows you how you gotta be on your game every game.

21
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 1: That said one thing you might do is simple five things.

22
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 1: Do you think that has been part of the problem,

23
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 1: like too many checks and guys aren't playing and fast

24
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: because of that. Um, I just think that's what you know,

25
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,319
Speaker 1: he feels his best, So I think you know, his

26
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 1: job as a decordinator is to put his in a

27
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 1: position to play fast and play well. And if he

28
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:13,680
Speaker 1: felt like we weren't playing fast enough or didn't play

29
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: well enough, simple finds always easies. Is the quickest fix,

30
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 1: the best fix, and just to to allow our players to play.

31
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 1: So I think if if Pat says that, then then

32
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,960
Speaker 1: I agree, um that you know that could help. I mean,

33
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: you guys obviously lost Blake, but other than that, there

34
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 1: has I mean Pepper is a little bit now, but

35
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 1: there haven't been any significant injuries. So you have this

36
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 1: personnel that we're supposed to do that there from last year.

37
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 1: When you look at it other than the broad definition

38
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,400
Speaker 1: of execution, why are you guys not performing well enough?

39
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: I mean, Blake's a significant injury, for sure, you know that, Yeah,

40
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 1: But I mean your offense is is decimated and performing

41
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: better than people expected. You guys are a better group

42
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: talent wise than last year, and you're performing a lot

43
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: worse than you did last year with less talent. Let's

44
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: be honest, why is that happening? Besides you say execution,

45
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 1: we all know that, but why why beyond that execution?

46
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 1: And so all I have, I mean we're not um.

47
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: Every every game, every play is different. Why you know,

48
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: it's not like the same thing every play. We have

49
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: different calls, verus, different people, verse, different quarterbacks, different strategies.

50
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 1: And regardless, I says before, where you lose by one

51
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: or lose by a hundred, you go out trying to

52
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: win the game. So if the game plan or you're

53
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 1: not executing that play and you know, it ends up

54
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: to a touchdown to a good team, to a bad team,

55
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 1: might end up to a five yard game. So regardless,

56
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: to me, it all comes down to execution. I mean,

57
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 1: we have talent, so we're just not executing it cohesively

58
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 1: as a unit. And defensively, you know, if you're an

59
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,679
Speaker 1: individual or me guy, you shouldn't play defense. Defense is

60
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 1: an ultimate team. Um. You know, there's a different offensive

61
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 1: guys and defensive guys and defensive guys. You don't know

62
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,519
Speaker 1: when your play is getting called because it's a you

63
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: don't know what the offense is gonna run, so you

64
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 1: gotta execute the defense and everyone shares the glory because

65
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 1: you don't really call your own player. You gotta react

66
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 1: to what the offense is doing. So it's an ultimate

67
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 1: team sport, ultimate team side the ball. So, um, I

68
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:09,639
Speaker 1: think it does come down execution. You guys ticked off?

69
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: What's been going on? I mean yeah, I mean there's urgency, um,

70
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:19,079
Speaker 1: but um, you know anger, I mean there's disappointment. But

71
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: at the same time, like this is football, man, Like

72
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: this is it's competition, and uh, when loser draw, you

73
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: gotta go out the next week. A lot of guys

74
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 1: play a lot of games in their career and uh,

75
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 1: it's all about the next week in the NFL, So

76
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,360
Speaker 1: I definitely think guys aren't proud of the performance in

77
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 1: the past, but you still gotta get ready to put

78
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 1: your best foot forward this week. So however you want

79
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: to put it, however the words, maybe I think that

80
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: there's some sense of urgency over here. The way you

81
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: guys playing now you get you don't get slouches this week,

82
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,839
Speaker 1: you get the rams, right, So I mean, how much

83
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 1: of a step up is there going to have to

84
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: be to not just play better than you've been playing,

85
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: but play well enough to go against these guys and

86
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: Stafford and Cop and everything. I mean, I don't think

87
00:03:58,120 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: you're ever gonna hear me up here called any team

88
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 1: of slot out. You know, every week you gotta bring

89
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 1: in the National Football League. Every everybody's got first round picks,

90
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 1: everyone's got college all Americans, everyone's got Pro Bowlers. You

91
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 1: know you can back in the day, used to play

92
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: the lines. Worst team to lead you start a match

93
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: up with Megatron. That's just as the NFL. There's there's

94
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:17,359
Speaker 1: guys in every position. We know, the guys that have

95
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 1: in their team, they have their start, their their teams

96
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: filled with stars. They have some really highly paid, star

97
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 1: studded talent um, really good receiving corps. They're good at

98
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 1: running the ball, a really good quarterback, a good offensive scheme.

99
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: So that's just the challenge. But that's what you signed

100
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: up for, and we gotta go ready to embrace that

101
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: and attack that. You guys faced them last year. How

102
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,720
Speaker 1: much different are there with Stafford at quarterback? He adds

103
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 1: um their similarities, but he definitely adds a deep ball

104
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: element to them. Him and to Seawan Jackson add a

105
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 1: whole third level two uh, you know, to their game.

106
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: You saw him catching balls off the jugs, anticipating how

107
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 1: deep some of these balls may go, just trying to

108
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 1: track them there. So, um, he adds a whole downfield

109
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: passing game that they didn't have a little more spread,

110
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 1: that they didn't do as much. They still have their

111
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,279
Speaker 1: boots and condensed offense, but they haven't added aim with

112
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 1: his arm strength, So it keeps that safety a little deeper.

113
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:04,280
Speaker 1: It keeps a little more honest in the deep part

114
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:08,040
Speaker 1: of the field. Does your guys, does you guys Ruther

115
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: defense fall apart if the edge doesn't get set, like

116
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 1: in your scheme, like if if they can get outside,

117
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 1: that is that the key? Then yeah, yeah, you're little

118
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 1: league defensive fall apart if you don't set an edge.

119
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: I mean that's just that's one on one. You gotta

120
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 1: set the edge to stop the run at any level.

121
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 1: Like you watch Little League. They tossed the ball to

122
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: the best player. He runs outside of edge, So you

123
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: do you can do that in high school, you knew that.

124
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: In college you gotta get that edge set in order

125
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 1: to get control of the run game. And we need

126
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: to do a better job of that. And um, you know,

127
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: people are people are putting pollers on our on our

128
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 1: corners and our safeties and our secondary and you can't

129
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,160
Speaker 1: cut those guys anymore. So it's tough. You can't. Obviously

130
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: the role change. You can't cut these pollers, and I

131
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 1: really put some of these dbs at a disadvantage. I

132
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: think you're gonna see a lot more perimeter run game

133
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: in the NFL in general. Just how the rules change

134
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 1: you guys fixes defensive? What gives you confidence that it

135
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 1: will get fixed? Um? The time the alarm goes off

136
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 1: every morning, The work ethic, like the process I've been

137
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:06,039
Speaker 1: I've been in the league long enough, understanding, been in

138
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: wins and losses enough, how hard the group's working. Sometimes

139
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: the results will always come right away or when you

140
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,599
Speaker 1: want it or whatever. But I do believe that you

141
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 1: know that work ethic and does lead to execution. So

142
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 1: obviously you only get one test a week that's on Sundays.

143
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 1: But seeing the process out here, having a great week,

144
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 1: great day of practice like today, Um, being really clean,

145
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 1: Um is a good first step. Did you notice that

146
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: I didn't notice that that the judge machine work. You

147
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 1: said something that you were don't do it's importantly this week.

148
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know how many. Uh No, I

149
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:41,280
Speaker 1: don't normally. I'm not a punt return so I don't

150
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 1: normally catch off the jugs a lot. But I just

151
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,479
Speaker 1: saw a couple watching film. I saw them throw the

152
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,359
Speaker 1: ball up on a couple of safeties and then losing

153
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,280
Speaker 1: the ball in their whatnot. So I just wanted to

154
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,480
