WEBVTT - Fred Warner Analyzes Defense Against the Buccaneers | Press Pass

0:00:04.519 --> 0:00:18.920
<v Speaker 1>Hey, whatever it takes.

0:00:19.720 --> 0:00:21.919
<v Speaker 2>No, I didn't no, no, I didn't know about it

0:00:22.000 --> 0:00:25.680
<v Speaker 2>until after I got back in the locker room. And uh,

0:00:25.720 --> 0:00:29.880
<v Speaker 2>that's just the fiery spirit of the of the team. Everybody,

0:00:29.880 --> 0:00:33.599
<v Speaker 2>of course wants to win. And uh, I don't put

0:00:33.640 --> 0:00:47.600
<v Speaker 2>too much into that through your head. Yeah you know it.

0:00:47.600 --> 0:00:49.800
<v Speaker 2>It was Uh, it was unfortunate the amount of mistakes,

0:00:49.800 --> 0:00:52.919
<v Speaker 2>and mine included. Of course, everybody's out there trying their

0:00:52.960 --> 0:00:55.639
<v Speaker 2>hardest to to play hard to win and uh make

0:00:55.640 --> 0:00:57.600
<v Speaker 2>the player to win the game. But uh, you know,

0:00:57.640 --> 0:00:59.640
<v Speaker 2>we had, we had multiple opportunities out there, you know,

0:01:00.080 --> 0:01:03.279
<v Speaker 2>to to finish, finish the game on our on our end.

0:01:03.840 --> 0:01:05.520
<v Speaker 2>Uh that fourth down, Baker makes the head of the

0:01:05.560 --> 0:01:08.720
<v Speaker 2>play to keep the drive going. And my mindset through

0:01:08.720 --> 0:01:11.039
<v Speaker 2>it all was, Hey, even with the penalties, you know,

0:01:11.120 --> 0:01:14.920
<v Speaker 2>next play, next play mentality, you know, Uh, y'all talk

0:01:15.000 --> 0:01:17.360
<v Speaker 2>to the group about winning on defense, and in that moment,

0:01:17.640 --> 0:01:19.200
<v Speaker 2>we knew we had to hold them to a field goal,

0:01:19.360 --> 0:01:22.240
<v Speaker 2>you know, and uh, obviously we want to get get

0:01:22.240 --> 0:01:23.520
<v Speaker 2>them off the field, we want to take the ball

0:01:23.560 --> 0:01:26.520
<v Speaker 2>away in that moment win the game. Uh, but to

0:01:26.760 --> 0:01:28.679
<v Speaker 2>hold them a field goal, man, it speaks to you know,

0:01:28.720 --> 0:01:39.920
<v Speaker 2>the resilience in the character of the group. Did I'll

0:01:39.959 --> 0:01:43.120
<v Speaker 2>get you right after this? No, it's all right. Uh yeah, no,

0:01:43.200 --> 0:01:45.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean this this was a character game all the

0:01:45.720 --> 0:01:48.240
<v Speaker 2>way through, and we knew that they were gonna fight,

0:01:48.280 --> 0:01:49.800
<v Speaker 2>they were gonna battle. You know, we watched that game

0:01:49.800 --> 0:01:52.320
<v Speaker 2>on Monday night, them going into Kansas City, Uh after

0:01:52.360 --> 0:01:54.880
<v Speaker 2>everybody said they didn't have a shot on offense, uh,

0:01:55.600 --> 0:01:58.640
<v Speaker 2>losing their top two receivers, and they have a they

0:01:58.640 --> 0:02:00.600
<v Speaker 2>have a heck of a offense. They have of a scheme,

0:02:00.920 --> 0:02:04.000
<v Speaker 2>UH players to to run the scheme. And the same

0:02:04.120 --> 0:02:06.680
<v Speaker 2>was true today. You know, I think the first half

0:02:06.720 --> 0:02:10.040
<v Speaker 2>we we stood up and uh played played great defense.

0:02:10.080 --> 0:02:12.040
<v Speaker 2>In the second half, we you know, we we uh

0:02:12.120 --> 0:02:13.840
<v Speaker 2>were we came up short in some of those some

0:02:13.880 --> 0:02:16.600
<v Speaker 2>of those areas, but to like I said, to hold

0:02:16.639 --> 0:02:17.960
<v Speaker 2>'em at the very end to a field goal to

0:02:17.960 --> 0:02:19.720
<v Speaker 2>give our offensive chance to go down and win the game.

0:02:20.200 --> 0:02:25.200
<v Speaker 2>Uh was about as as grimy as as gonna get

0:02:25.880 --> 0:02:28.640
<v Speaker 2>I did not watch. I didn't I you know, I

0:02:28.639 --> 0:02:32.519
<v Speaker 2>I'd I'd rather just listen to the the cheers. Is that,

0:02:37.000 --> 0:02:39.160
<v Speaker 2>you know, I'm I'm always ready for regardless of what

0:02:39.200 --> 0:02:41.000
<v Speaker 2>had happened in the game. I'm always ready for any

0:02:41.080 --> 0:02:44.040
<v Speaker 2>any situation. So I wasn't. I wasn't sitting there praying

0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:45.840
<v Speaker 2>like ah mode, I hope you make it like I

0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:47.600
<v Speaker 2>was getting my mind right for if he if he

0:02:47.600 --> 0:02:55.560
<v Speaker 2>did happen to miss, then playing over time, you guys,

0:02:55.600 --> 0:02:56.280
<v Speaker 2>what do you guys.

0:02:56.120 --> 0:02:56.400
<v Speaker 1>Happened to.

0:02:59.720 --> 0:03:05.720
<v Speaker 2>Like y? I think it it comes down to just

0:03:05.800 --> 0:03:08.120
<v Speaker 2>really just one or two plays. As silly as it sounds,

0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:10.320
<v Speaker 2>you know, one or two plays is like man, really

0:03:10.360 --> 0:03:12.240
<v Speaker 2>that's all it is. But that's truly what it is,

0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:15.120
<v Speaker 2>you know, cause one or two plays can mean the

0:03:15.160 --> 0:03:18.080
<v Speaker 2>difference in you know, a touchdown versus a field goal,

0:03:18.160 --> 0:03:20.760
<v Speaker 2>versus a takeaway versus you know it. There's all these

0:03:20.760 --> 0:03:23.040
<v Speaker 2>little things that go into it. And you know, I'm

0:03:23.080 --> 0:03:24.919
<v Speaker 2>not going into the game hoping that man.

0:03:25.000 --> 0:03:25.480
<v Speaker 1>I hope.

0:03:26.080 --> 0:03:27.960
<v Speaker 2>I hope it's an easy game, you know, cause if

0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:29.560
<v Speaker 2>you go with that mindset, then you're not gonna be

0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:31.080
<v Speaker 2>ready for those moments that we were in today.

0:03:31.160 --> 0:03:31.320
<v Speaker 1>You know.

0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:33.600
<v Speaker 2>I I came into it saying, if it comes down

0:03:33.639 --> 0:03:35.280
<v Speaker 2>to the final play and the defense gotta stand up

0:03:35.320 --> 0:03:36.760
<v Speaker 2>and win it, then I'm gonna be ready, you know.

0:03:36.800 --> 0:03:38.520
<v Speaker 2>And that's that's the my that was my message to

0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:40.840
<v Speaker 2>our defense, and that's gonna be the message going forward.

0:03:40.880 --> 0:03:45.120
<v Speaker 2>You know, you you prepare like you're gonna dominate the

0:03:45.160 --> 0:03:48.360
<v Speaker 2>team that you're playing, but you're prepared for whatever. You

0:03:48.400 --> 0:03:50.280
<v Speaker 2>know what I'm saying. You prepare for that fight. And

0:03:50.360 --> 0:03:52.120
<v Speaker 2>uh so when you are in that battle, then you're

0:03:52.160 --> 0:04:03.520
<v Speaker 2>ready for it. You can one like, yeah, what about

0:04:03.560 --> 0:04:10.480
<v Speaker 2>week one? You didn't like that one? You didn't It's

0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:24.719
<v Speaker 2>a I know, I got you. I agree, I agree,

0:04:25.600 --> 0:04:27.599
<v Speaker 2>I d I'm not concerned with it, I I My

0:04:27.680 --> 0:04:33.040
<v Speaker 2>concern right now is to get better as a team.

0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:34.599
<v Speaker 2>You have to find a way to win in this league,

0:04:34.640 --> 0:04:36.880
<v Speaker 2>no matter what the situation you talk about this week,

0:04:36.880 --> 0:04:40.240
<v Speaker 2>coming out of a bye week against a great team,

0:04:40.279 --> 0:04:43.479
<v Speaker 2>going cross country all the time, changes, all this and

0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:46.960
<v Speaker 2>that there's gonna be some rust there, whatever it is,

0:04:47.040 --> 0:04:49.080
<v Speaker 2>whatever the case. Like, there's so many things that go

0:04:49.120 --> 0:04:52.039
<v Speaker 2>into winning and losing football games. Yeah do I D do.

0:04:52.040 --> 0:04:53.599
<v Speaker 2>I wish we blew 'em out by thirty, of course,

0:04:53.920 --> 0:04:56.640
<v Speaker 2>but I'm at the end of the day, I wanna

0:04:56.640 --> 0:04:58.360
<v Speaker 2>make sure that we're playing our best ball when when

0:04:58.360 --> 0:05:01.000
<v Speaker 2>it's needed at the end of the season. Right, and

0:05:01.200 --> 0:05:03.440
<v Speaker 2>we look at the tape this game and you much

0:05:03.520 --> 0:05:05.359
<v Speaker 2>rather learn off of win than a loss, you know.

0:05:05.400 --> 0:05:07.160
<v Speaker 2>And so we're gonna continue to get better and that's

0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:09.080
<v Speaker 2>that's when we'll find those signature wins.

0:05:08.880 --> 0:05:12.839
<v Speaker 1>For you this over and down season.

0:05:12.839 --> 0:05:16.400
<v Speaker 2>And Christians, did this game feel a little bit like

0:05:16.400 --> 0:05:26.120
<v Speaker 2>the team from last year in terms of Yeah? I mean, uh,

0:05:26.320 --> 0:05:28.120
<v Speaker 2>there's a lot of talent all over the place, especially

0:05:28.200 --> 0:05:30.920
<v Speaker 2>on the offensive side of the ball and defensively. It

0:05:30.920 --> 0:05:33.000
<v Speaker 2>it's just it's about playing complimentary football at the end

0:05:33.000 --> 0:05:33.360
<v Speaker 2>of the day.

0:05:33.800 --> 0:05:33.960
<v Speaker 1>You know.

0:05:34.000 --> 0:05:35.719
<v Speaker 2>The thing I I wish we did better on defense

0:05:35.839 --> 0:05:37.200
<v Speaker 2>was take the ball away. We didn't take We didn't

0:05:37.200 --> 0:05:39.839
<v Speaker 2>have those takeaways like we're accustomed to, uh for helping

0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:43.279
<v Speaker 2>the team win, win the game. And uh, I know

0:05:43.320 --> 0:05:44.840
<v Speaker 2>when we do take the ball away, that's when those

0:05:44.920 --> 0:05:53.640
<v Speaker 2>those signature wins, uh come come together. Yeah, I'm really

0:05:53.640 --> 0:05:56.680
<v Speaker 2>proud of 'em. Uh. You know, he's he's just been

0:05:56.760 --> 0:05:59.000
<v Speaker 2>keeping his head down, staying humble, working working his tail

0:05:59.040 --> 0:06:03.120
<v Speaker 2>off every single day. And he he came up big today,

0:06:03.240 --> 0:06:06.120
<v Speaker 2>you know, and in really big moments. So uh am

0:06:06.160 --> 0:06:08.160
<v Speaker 2>I surprised. No, I know what he's made of. I

0:06:08.200 --> 0:06:10.680
<v Speaker 2>know the talent that he has. Uh, it's just a

0:06:10.680 --> 0:06:12.360
<v Speaker 2>matter of just continuing to keep his head down and

0:06:12.440 --> 0:06:12.840
<v Speaker 2>keep working.

0:06:13.040 --> 0:06:14.440
<v Speaker 1>Alright, alright, got
