1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 1: I'm doing well, doing well. You guys talking business quack

2
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:17,239
Speaker 1: quarterbacking young this year. I mean, I'm hoping I don't

3
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:20,320
Speaker 1: have to. I'm hoping that story died down. You know,

4
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:25,759
Speaker 1: you guys are the media. You tell me dah. I

5
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 1: guess just the challenge of pressure. Um, you know, you

6
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 1: get a rookie quarterback coming in there the second start,

7
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 1: just I guess getting pressure on the quarterback like he

8
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:39,200
Speaker 1: did last week. Oh yeah, definitely. I mean, young guy,

9
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 1: old guy, like whoever you play at quarterback. I think

10
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:45,879
Speaker 1: one of the key things is always pressure. Um. I

11
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 1: don't think anybody wants to sit back there throwing the

12
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 1: ball and worry about getting hit. So when you can

13
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: do that, it changes the game. And I would say

14
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 1: for us in the back end, we've been very fortunate.

15
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 1: You know, obviously Judean jumps off the screen with his

16
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 1: play and production. Um, but I would say everybody at

17
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 1: our front, whether it's been Dan, whether it's been I

18
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 1: mean even LG got a sack last week. So um,

19
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 1: you know, all of those guys just being disruptive upfront, um,

20
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: you know, really helps us in the back end. So

21
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: that'll be another big thing for us this week. Obviously,

22
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 1: it all starts with slowing down the run game with

23
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: Taylor and you know what they were able to do

24
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,040
Speaker 1: last year against us running the ball. If we don't,

25
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 1: if we don't do a better job against the run,

26
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 1: you know, pass rush coverage, you know, it won't matter much. So, um,

27
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 1: we got to do a good job at that. And

28
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 1: you know, I think that will be the focus, you know,

29
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: all week. Um, but you know, I think it's one

30
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 1: of those games where everybody has to play well. You know,

31
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 1: it's not you know, it's not a game where you know,

32
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 1: you could take three guys and be like, all right,

33
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: you handle this and we'll be fine. You know, I

34
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: think upfront we gotta play well, we gotta do a

35
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 1: good job and the play action pass and what they're

36
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: able to do some of the move the pocket plays

37
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: that they kind of did more of last week with

38
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan not being in there. Um, so we we

39
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: just got to know what we're doing and everybody play well.

40
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 1: Are you expecting a little more in terms of design

41
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: runs from this kid? Obviously not from Matt Ryan, but

42
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:11,839
Speaker 1: is he more of a threat to run and take

43
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: off in a design passion? Yeah? I mean I think

44
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 1: you know I was watching you know, a good amount

45
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 1: of the preseason plays too, and I think, um, you

46
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: know what Elan are in there? You see you saw

47
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: some more of the design runs. How much they want

48
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: to do it, we won't know. We'll have to see

49
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: once the game starts. But I definitely think there's a possibility.

50
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 1: Especially I would say in you know, key situations, call

51
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,799
Speaker 1: it third and one in the red area different times

52
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: like that. I think we have to be alert. I

53
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 1: think we have to be alert if it's empty. You

54
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,920
Speaker 1: know it's empty, but it's not really empty, you know,

55
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 1: with different quarterback run plays that they could do. And

56
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: you know, obviously throughout the season, like we've struggled with

57
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: that a little bit when you think back of playing

58
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: against Field and Lamar Jackson. So I think we got

59
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 1: to be ready that there's a chance we see it.

60
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 1: I mean, we always talk about the copycat league things

61
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: that I've hurt you throughout the season. You always got

62
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 1: to be ready when teams have the ability to do that,

63
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 1: to see it again. And you know it might not

64
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 1: be a big part of their play, but if they've

65
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: run at one time and it works, you'll see it

66
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 1: all game. The strive for consistency. How much of a

67
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: challenge is that for you guys. Yeah, I mean I

68
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 1: think it's you know, for our football team. I would

69
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,359
Speaker 1: say for every person in life. You know, I think

70
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: that's the hardest thing to do in life is be consistent,

71
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 1: you know, to show up day in day out. And

72
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: you know, for us to be competing at a high level,

73
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:32,839
Speaker 1: I'm in a standard that you do that every day.

74
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: So it's it's something I'm teaching at home right now

75
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: to my kids about taking your lunchbox out of your

76
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 1: book bag when you come home from school every day,

77
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: like being consistent at it. Some days they do it,

78
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 1: some days they don't. And you know, I think for

79
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: us as a as a football team, you talk about

80
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: getting you know, all eleven guys you know that are

81
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 1: on the field at one time with us offense, defense,

82
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: special teams to be consistent at doing their job of

83
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: not trying to make a play, not trying to go

84
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 1: outside this I think Mayo Mayo says it perfectly all

85
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: the time. Like, as a defense, we have a canvas

86
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 1: and we have a lot of tools that we can do.

87
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: You can paint on that canvas anyway you want. Just

88
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: stay inside the lines of the canvas. So, um, that's

89
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: the goal, you know, everybody doing their job play after

90
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: play after play and not getting tired of doing that. UM.

91
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,599
Speaker 1: And I think that's what you know from my time

92
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: in the league. When you have teams that are able

93
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,359
Speaker 1: to do that, it's not about having the best players

94
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,919
Speaker 1: in the world. It's not about you know, the best stats.

95
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 1: It's about eleven guys committing to doing their job every

96
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: single play and not getting tired of doing that. UM.

97
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: And you know, I would say that's hard to do.

98
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: And that's why you know, you don't see the same

99
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,280
Speaker 1: team win championships year in the year out because it's

100
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:44,919
Speaker 1: hard to repeat and do that all the time. And

101
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: I think that's something we're building tours and we've got

102
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: to keep doing that and staying on top of each other,

103
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 1: holding each other accountable of getting that done. You guys

104
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: leave the league getting turnovers. What is it about you

105
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,599
Speaker 1: been able to force something this year? Um? Like I

106
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: was saying earlier, I think one of the key things

107
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: has been, you know, getting after the quarterback and making

108
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 1: things hard. You know, I don't know how many interceptions

109
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 1: we have without a guy in a quarterback's face like

110
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: I'm not. I would have to go back and watch

111
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 1: all of them, but from what I remember, a lot

112
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: of the interceptions we have, it's been somebody bearing down

113
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 1: on the quarterback and getting a hand up or about

114
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,679
Speaker 1: to hit them, and you know, I think that's led

115
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: to that. And then you know, attacking the football, you know,

116
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 1: guys punching at the ball, guys wrapping up, tackling has

117
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,159
Speaker 1: been you know, one of the keys. You know, I

118
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 1: think to those takeaways and it's something we got to

119
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,919
Speaker 1: keep doing. I think we're doing a better job of

120
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:38,719
Speaker 1: getting them when we need them. You know, I think

121
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 1: that's the key to a good defense is you know,

122
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:43,600
Speaker 1: not just having a game or two where you get

123
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:45,840
Speaker 1: a bunch of them, but consistently getting them in then

124
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: in moments when you need to turn over, our offense

125
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: might need a spark being able to go out there

126
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 1: and somebody forcing to turn over. And you know, I

127
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 1: think that was even big last week of getting turnovers

128
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: in the second half, like we needed that, especially how

129
00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:59,359
Speaker 1: we started the game. So we got to continue to

130
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,280
Speaker 1: work for that. And when we don't do, what I

131
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: would say is it doesn't look as good for us.

132
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: You know, Chicago game not getting them when we needed them.

133
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: You know, we aren't able to kind of get that

134
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,479
Speaker 1: game rolling the way we want it. It doesn't in

135
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 1: depth in theory. You go into every game playing as

136
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,799
Speaker 1: hard as you can all the time. But human nature

137
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 1: being what it is, is there any talk this week

138
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 1: or on the players that day? We got the bye

139
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 1: week coming up. We don't want to go into the

140
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 1: pipe we got for lots. I don't even know what

141
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 1: a buye weekend is. We're just trying to win Sunday.

142
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 1: Appreciate it. Thank you. Yes,
