WEBVTT - Press Pass: DeMeco Ryans

0:00:06.360 --> 0:00:08.639
<v Speaker 1>Say, you've been a big part of his face or

0:00:08.840 --> 0:00:11.680
<v Speaker 1>hear what you say that, just you know, keep his

0:00:11.760 --> 0:00:14.480
<v Speaker 1>head up. It's something that he's been through before. You know,

0:00:14.560 --> 0:00:17.119
<v Speaker 1>he's had a season in the injury before in college,

0:00:17.120 --> 0:00:19.600
<v Speaker 1>so you know something he's been through before. So just

0:00:19.680 --> 0:00:23.320
<v Speaker 1>continue to just encourage him that you know, he's done

0:00:23.360 --> 0:00:25.520
<v Speaker 1>great up to this point. Don't let this wear on

0:00:25.600 --> 0:00:28.200
<v Speaker 1>him mentally because that's the biggest thing. He'll come back physically,

0:00:28.280 --> 0:00:31.560
<v Speaker 1>he'll be fine. Just mentally he just has to, you know,

0:00:31.640 --> 0:00:34.320
<v Speaker 1>stay ahead of the game. I mean, I think I

0:00:34.400 --> 0:00:36.000
<v Speaker 1>know what you mean by that, But what do you mean, like,

0:00:36.200 --> 0:00:38.400
<v Speaker 1>get you get too down? Yeah, yeah, you could get down,

0:00:38.520 --> 0:00:41.040
<v Speaker 1>like anytime guys are injured. You know, when you're not

0:00:41.200 --> 0:00:44.159
<v Speaker 1>out here, you see guys coming out just to practice

0:00:44.200 --> 0:00:46.960
<v Speaker 1>in the games. It's not you know that you're worried

0:00:46.960 --> 0:00:49.720
<v Speaker 1>about yourself physically, like, yeah, you're gonna come back fine,

0:00:49.760 --> 0:00:52.600
<v Speaker 1>but mentally it can be a little little stressful. You

0:00:52.640 --> 0:00:55.720
<v Speaker 1>can't get down on yourself because you're not you know,

0:00:55.840 --> 0:00:58.880
<v Speaker 1>you you don't have that normal day to day schedule

0:00:58.880 --> 0:01:00.840
<v Speaker 1>like you used to have him talked I think you

0:01:00.920 --> 0:01:03.280
<v Speaker 1>talked about this last year after you got hurt that

0:01:03.320 --> 0:01:06.080
<v Speaker 1>you were better equipped to handle it than the first time.

0:01:06.120 --> 0:01:08.400
<v Speaker 1>All right, that's kind of what you're talking right, Yes,

0:01:08.560 --> 0:01:11.280
<v Speaker 1>And when you when you've been through it, unfortunately, when

0:01:11.319 --> 0:01:13.960
<v Speaker 1>you go through it one time, you're kind of better

0:01:13.959 --> 0:01:17.280
<v Speaker 1>prepared for the second time around. So with him already

0:01:17.319 --> 0:01:19.360
<v Speaker 1>having to go through that in college, that's why I

0:01:19.360 --> 0:01:22.280
<v Speaker 1>think he'll be He'll be fine mentally. Is it something

0:01:22.319 --> 0:01:25.000
<v Speaker 1>you guys actually like, will he do something different than

0:01:25.040 --> 0:01:28.240
<v Speaker 1>he didn't? I don't know if he's even expressed what

0:01:28.280 --> 0:01:31.920
<v Speaker 1>he went through in college. Yeah, I think just just

0:01:32.000 --> 0:01:35.440
<v Speaker 1>the thoughts process. I think it's just different. Just staying positive.

0:01:35.680 --> 0:01:39.000
<v Speaker 1>You know, he'll be fined one hundred yard rushers the

0:01:39.080 --> 0:01:42.240
<v Speaker 1>last two weeks. You haven't been there the last two weeks, um,

0:01:42.560 --> 0:01:45.080
<v Speaker 1>are you just you know, kind of chiming the bit

0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:47.640
<v Speaker 1>to get back and at least help an area that

0:01:47.720 --> 0:01:49.760
<v Speaker 1>was strong earlier. It hasn't been the last two year, DAF.

0:01:49.800 --> 0:01:52.240
<v Speaker 1>We have to get back to playing run defense like

0:01:52.280 --> 0:01:54.200
<v Speaker 1>we know how to play. We remember we played good

0:01:54.280 --> 0:01:56.920
<v Speaker 1>run defense, you know, up until the last two weeks,

0:01:56.920 --> 0:01:59.680
<v Speaker 1>and that's you know, that's not who we are. You know,

0:01:59.720 --> 0:02:02.440
<v Speaker 1>what are we focused on stopping the run? First, So

0:02:02.800 --> 0:02:05.440
<v Speaker 1>we have to get back to to playing good solid

0:02:05.520 --> 0:02:09.880
<v Speaker 1>run defense, as you know, damning on anyone who's been

0:02:09.919 --> 0:02:12.120
<v Speaker 1>in there for you, but what do you feel that

0:02:12.120 --> 0:02:14.640
<v Speaker 1>that's something you know, it's been your strength on defense

0:02:14.720 --> 0:02:17.520
<v Speaker 1>that you know things would improve dramatically or offense, well,

0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:20.359
<v Speaker 1>you see how I mean playing the run, it's it's

0:02:20.400 --> 0:02:23.360
<v Speaker 1>more about it's more than just one guy. It's you know,

0:02:23.400 --> 0:02:27.000
<v Speaker 1>the d line and linebackers as safeties, everybody fitting up

0:02:27.040 --> 0:02:29.880
<v Speaker 1>well together, so it's not just not just one guy

0:02:30.080 --> 0:02:33.040
<v Speaker 1>you know that really stops the run. In the two

0:02:33.040 --> 0:02:35.480
<v Speaker 1>games that you haven't played where the run hasn't been,

0:02:35.840 --> 0:02:38.560
<v Speaker 1>where do you feel just you know, we haven't been

0:02:39.120 --> 0:02:41.200
<v Speaker 1>we haven't been correct on all of our fits, and

0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:43.919
<v Speaker 1>you know, we just feel like sometimes we have guys

0:02:43.919 --> 0:02:45.760
<v Speaker 1>in the backfield and it's just kind of screwed out

0:02:45.760 --> 0:02:49.359
<v Speaker 1>for a little leaky yardage. And that's where it is

0:02:49.400 --> 0:02:51.919
<v Speaker 1>more than one guy though, right, A good quarterback back

0:02:52.000 --> 0:02:54.720
<v Speaker 1>there can prevent some of that from happening, but I

0:02:54.760 --> 0:02:58.519
<v Speaker 1>can putting people in the reposition before now, meaning the

0:02:58.639 --> 0:03:01.320
<v Speaker 1>defensive quarterbacker. Yeah, yeah, we all have to be lined

0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:04.160
<v Speaker 1>up and in the right position. And I feel like, well,

0:03:04.800 --> 0:03:07.400
<v Speaker 1>we'll be good this week on the run and some runs.

0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:10.200
<v Speaker 1>We've seen a lot going against our offense to have

0:03:10.240 --> 0:03:13.359
<v Speaker 1>a very similar run game, and so it should be

0:03:14.080 --> 0:03:16.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, it should be a positive week for us

0:03:16.680 --> 0:03:21.480
<v Speaker 1>in a run defense about helps. It means you're still

0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:24.400
<v Speaker 1>young quarterback. But he can't make a lot of throws.

0:03:24.440 --> 0:03:27.400
<v Speaker 1>He throws the ball well down the field. I think

0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:30.000
<v Speaker 1>he's doing a solid job for a team. So you know,

0:03:30.040 --> 0:03:33.160
<v Speaker 1>we have our work cut out for us. I'm sorry

0:03:33.760 --> 0:03:35.560
<v Speaker 1>you say you will be playing this week? Do you

0:03:35.560 --> 0:03:37.960
<v Speaker 1>know yet? I'd say, what's continue to see how the

0:03:37.960 --> 0:03:41.040
<v Speaker 1>week goes, but I'm confident that, you know, very optimistic.

0:03:41.160 --> 0:03:50.400
<v Speaker 1>I'll be out there on Sunday. What's danger? I think again,

0:03:50.480 --> 0:03:53.680
<v Speaker 1>they're they're a hungry team, and they run the ball well.

0:03:53.760 --> 0:03:55.600
<v Speaker 1>They've been running the ball well a lot of people,

0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:58.240
<v Speaker 1>and you know, they just have a lot of things.

0:03:58.240 --> 0:03:59.880
<v Speaker 1>They have a lot of moving parts on the off

0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:02.600
<v Speaker 1>and so we just have to be really really settled

0:04:02.640 --> 0:04:05.400
<v Speaker 1>in on defense and can't let all their shifts and

0:04:05.480 --> 0:04:07.920
<v Speaker 1>motions kind of throw us off. We have to stay

0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:10.840
<v Speaker 1>focused and just everybody just has to be in the

0:04:10.960 --> 0:04:15.000
<v Speaker 1>right place at the right time, just playing hard all right,

0:04:15.400 --> 0:04:18.000
<v Speaker 1>thank you,
