Speaker 1: Because we know if we can keep teams out of
Speaker 1: the end zone, really what happens to between, you know,
Speaker 1: the ten yard lines is irrelevant. Once we get down
Speaker 1: and they're tight and we can hold them at three,
Speaker 1: we feel like we can outscore anybody. Is there something
Speaker 1: about your personnel that seems I think it's yeah, I
Speaker 1: think it's a little bit of both. Obviously, we've got,
Speaker 1: you know, guys that can make plays up front and
Speaker 1: put pressure on quarterbacks, that can stop the run. We've
Speaker 1: got guys in the outside that do a good job
Speaker 1: playing our technique and make it really hard to just
Speaker 1: line up and throw phase during slants, UM. And then
Speaker 1: the rest of it is you know, scheme, guys knowing
Speaker 1: where to be, how to close windows. UM. You know,
Speaker 1: Jordan Hicks has been a guy who's taking taking the
Speaker 1: ball away and lockdown in the red zone specifically almost
Speaker 1: had one today, UM. And So I think it's a
Speaker 1: little bit of both. It's it's a simple scheme that
Speaker 1: allows us to play fast, but we had some injuries
Speaker 1: where you know, guys are coming in. Carmon came in,
Speaker 1: um Rani came out, so we had to change. We
Speaker 1: can figure some of our stuff but it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: Our exits the spots and everybody knows we've been facetious
Speaker 1: or you guys really kind of get recent and feel
Speaker 1: a little bit more comfortable where the red zone. I
Speaker 1: you know, I just been a little facetious, But now
Speaker 1: I do think that when we get to the red zone,
Speaker 1: everybody's completely comfortable. Um. It's not like, you know, a
Speaker 1: panic situation. Um. And so we always feel like as
Speaker 1: long as even if a big play happens, as long
Speaker 1: as it didn't go for a touchdown. We're finding playing
Speaker 1: red zone defense and completely confident in the game on
Speaker 1: the line. We've been in a situation too much and
Speaker 1: been successful not to be you know, confidented. So UM,
Speaker 1: it's something that will continue to improve on. We'll see
Speaker 1: new looks every week and as people you know, attack
Speaker 1: us in different ways, and we'll continue to adjust play.
Speaker 1: At the end of the shot, I didn't see it, actually,
Speaker 1: I was they were running mess shows, receivers running everywhere.
Speaker 1: All I saw was left trip up and hit the ground. Um.
Speaker 1: But obviously I'll rush. You know, it's been it's been
Speaker 1: the back one of our defense, and we can take
Speaker 1: away routes early in the down and good quarterbacks to
Speaker 1: hold the ball. It's really hard for for offensive lines
Speaker 1: to win, especially one on ones, UM, and we saw
Speaker 1: that kind of all day today. Don't think you guys
Speaker 1: need this a little bit harder on yourself than we
Speaker 1: be with all the penalties sometimes, no doubt. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean there's a lot to correct. You know, we talk
Speaker 1: about losing the turnover margin, the penalties that we had, UM,
Speaker 1: just situations that that we always we tend to put
Speaker 1: ourselves into some bad holes and you can't expect to
Speaker 1: continue to have success like that. UM. But it's always
Speaker 1: easier to make those corrections after a win, and so
Speaker 1: winning is hard at the end of the day. As
Speaker 1: we go on, we need to, you know, find a
Speaker 1: way to get just a little bit better. If it's
Speaker 1: in the penalties, if it's in turnovers, takeaways. We had
Speaker 1: a couple opportunities on defense to take the ball away
Speaker 1: and then come up with them. So as you start
Speaker 1: to look at the game and its tontality, you know,
Speaker 1: everybody contributes and so we're happy to obviously to win,
Speaker 1: but there's gonna be a lot we can quit. Mills
Speaker 1: had some to pass break ups today. The kind of
Speaker 1: appreciation for how so his whole career is usually getting
Speaker 1: knocked after a really bad game and you gotta replace.
Speaker 1: Somebody usually comes back and and it's Mills You'll have
Speaker 1: because it happened so much. Yeah, I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: it's part of playing in this city. Uh. And he's
Speaker 1: playing a tough position where all eyes on him. We
Speaker 1: don't wrote help to anybody, you know, our defense, we
Speaker 1: put a lot of pressure on our corners and he
Speaker 1: answers to told. You know, he goes against some of
Speaker 1: the best receivers in this league U and obviously showed
Speaker 1: up there. Really, this this game made a bunch of
Speaker 1: you know, key tackles, good stops. Somebody will continue to
Speaker 1: rely on under And I've seen it, you know, I've
Speaker 1: been playing for ten years, and I've seen guys, especially
Speaker 1: in this city, play that position and will allow, you know,
Speaker 1: the outside noise or a bad game to have their
Speaker 1: confidence way. And I think for him it probably feels
Speaker 1: them more than anything. And that's what you need to
Speaker 1: be successful. All there in the island is a continuously
Speaker 1: believing in self your technique. I'm gonna keep getting better
Speaker 1: as you go. Part of your post game speech elaborate
Speaker 1: on what the message us. I think the message was
Speaker 1: was was simple, was you know, welcome back to winning.
Speaker 1: But you know, remember kind of what we were got
Speaker 1: it's here. We didn't just show up and win the game.
Speaker 1: We came off a tough loss on the road. We
Speaker 1: came back, we evaluated and prepared, and then we played.
Speaker 1: And so that's the same process and cycle that we
Speaker 1: just need to go two week to week. We'll show
Speaker 1: up on Tuesday, we'll watch the game, we'll flush it, start,
Speaker 1: turn our eyes to the Titans, prepare all week, and
Speaker 1: kind of lose next time the next I'm just gonna say,
Speaker 1: it's been a while since you guys have had to
Speaker 1: bounce back from a loss. Do you feel like you
Speaker 1: guys were? I mean, I think we're gonna go back
Speaker 1: on the table and still see penalties, especially on special teams.
Speaker 1: You want to see UM, you know, miss opportunities to
Speaker 1: get the ball. Defense, you want to see turnovers in offense,
Speaker 1: UM and wait, we're areas that we want to improve UM.
Speaker 1: But it's all it was easier to improve after winning
Speaker 1: seventeen seventeen night drive what you drive by the offense,
Speaker 1: you guys late that fourth quarter. Did you need na
Speaker 1: We didn't need the rest, but we needed the points.
Speaker 1: You know. It's a situation that fourth down that they
Speaker 1: went for. You know, we go back on the field
Speaker 1: and we'll we'll be we'll be pressed to kind of
Speaker 1: get the ball back quickly with some time left. But
Speaker 1: for them to go down methodically and put points on
Speaker 1: the board, UM obviously put us you know, and a
Speaker 1: dantage to go up. We're now we're defending the touchdown,
Speaker 1: not a field goal, it's not a time things like that.
Speaker 1: So that was a huge drive obviously for the game
Speaker 1: clean out day. After seasons winning going out, there's just
Speaker 1: close games and just went in your way. You still
Speaker 1: be playing, what is it about this team? Aw, You're
Speaker 1: able to win these these games? At the point? Well,
Speaker 1: I think a lot of the times at the end
Speaker 1: of games, especially close games, it comes down to execution,
Speaker 1: UM and and really you know your defense, can you
Speaker 1: get a stop? I mean That's how I'll usually view it,
Speaker 1: whether it's a shootout or it's just you know, one
Speaker 1: of those defensive games. It always comes down to whose defense,
Speaker 1: UM makes the last play. Um, their defense had that
Speaker 1: that long drive and ended up you know, entering a touchdown,
Speaker 1: our defense, you know, held up even though it's a
Speaker 1: long drive. They got down to the one fourth and
Speaker 1: one week, we end up making one more play than
Speaker 1: they did, and oftentimes that's the difference in this league. UM.
Speaker 1: And so we feel very confident in somebody making that
Speaker 1: play for us, you know, making those plays on defense. UM.
Speaker 1: And so when we get into situations we prepare for.
Speaker 1: We've been through it in practice, we've been through it
Speaker 1: in real game situations. So we just we just play.
Speaker 1: We'll take a couple more of them bringing to throw
Speaker 1: the hill there and a lot of them looks like
Speaker 1: Andrews throw rolls either short or underneath, holding numbers really down.
Speaker 1: Did you notice how to take you up to the
Speaker 1: week that Andrew Wood is a little bit different obviously
Speaker 1: coming off the shoulder surgery and mister yet, I mean yeah,
Speaker 1: I think he's still working his way back, but I
Speaker 1: mean he still looked sharp. Um. They've they've moved to
Speaker 1: which is they've also changed their offense as well, you know,
Speaker 1: and so their offense very similar to always taking a
Speaker 1: lot of you know, short intermediate routes getting the ball
Speaker 1: out of his hand, especially when you play defensive front
Speaker 1: like ours. You don't want that ball to get, you know,
Speaker 1: out of his hands. I still think obviously, you know,
Speaker 1: and I think the last play being a little bit
Speaker 1: of proof that if you got to really stretch the
Speaker 1: feel um. You know, he's been limited, but he's coming
Speaker 1: off of obviously that injury. But you know, we got
Speaker 1: a lot of respect for what he's doing. He's he's
Speaker 1: definitely still I'm going to top two quarterbacks that can
Speaker 1: make plays. His mobility is something that's underrated. Um now
Speaker 1: obviously a small quartergram. I thought you killed Michael almost did.
Speaker 1: I felt bad. I was just worried about I was
Speaker 1: trying to kill whatever whatever was there. But he's all right.
Speaker 1: On the red zone stop. In the Atlanta game, I
Speaker 1: remember some of you guys saying that you knew from
Speaker 1: the formations to be what they're trying to do. There's
Speaker 1: preparation or even more when you get down. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean you usually you know where where teams want to
Speaker 1: go with the ball. And then I mean in the
Speaker 1: red zone, the advantage is the defense because there's not
Speaker 1: much space, so they got to try to fit the
Speaker 1: ball to tight windows. Um and so when you can
Speaker 1: muddy those windows, you know, wh spots they like to hit. UM,
Speaker 1: you can take that away. You also see where other
Speaker 1: teams might have had success. And it's a copycat league,
Speaker 1: so you usually see those same plays show up. UM,
Speaker 1: And so we'll look back. It will be some things
Speaker 1: I'm sure that will pop up on tape UM that
Speaker 1: we'll know the other teams might want to use. UM.
Speaker 1: We'll try to collect those and adjusts. UM. The good
Speaker 1: thing is everybody knows the defense is well enough to
Speaker 1: make an adjustments is not an issue, and we change
Speaker 1: you know, tools within the coverage almost weekly. That gives
Speaker 1: us a little bit of advantage.
