1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:05,440 Speaker 1: Logan, how do you sum up this season right now? Adversity, man, 2 00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:08,239 Speaker 1: tons of adversity this season, for sure. I don't think 3 00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:12,879 Speaker 1: it met many people's expectations, not mine. Um, But I 4 00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:14,560 Speaker 1: don't know. I haven't had a ton of time to 5 00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:17,880 Speaker 1: recapy it. I'm sure tomorrow or whenever we have another 6 00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:20,840 Speaker 1: press conference, I have more thoughts on that. I really 7 00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:23,079 Speaker 1: was focused on that game, but just a lot of 8 00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:25,520 Speaker 1: adversity and and see how we handled it. I see 9 00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:28,160 Speaker 1: how we handled it going forward and back in August. 10 00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:30,360 Speaker 1: Would you ever think you'd be sitting here in January 11 00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:34,480 Speaker 1: standing here in January four and thirteen. No, I don't 12 00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:37,840 Speaker 1: think anyone thought. That definitely was not the expectation. Didn't 13 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:42,000 Speaker 1: didn't go our way. Um for not getting it done. 14 00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:43,840 Speaker 1: For a lot of reasons, it didn't go our way. 15 00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:46,880 Speaker 1: Obviously in my career, I haven't been in this position before. 16 00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:50,440 Speaker 1: I've spoke on that, um and that's a good thing. 17 00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:51,880 Speaker 1: But I've learning the other side of it now and 18 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:53,639 Speaker 1: learned other side of the spectrum and try to get 19 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:57,080 Speaker 1: some um, some meaning in between. You know, I've been 20 00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 1: in Super Bowls years ago who cares? And then now 21 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 1: being playing a game out of playoff contention. It's it's different, 22 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:06,960 Speaker 1: and I think, uh, at least he gives me perspective 23 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:08,319 Speaker 1: on both side of it, and I think a lot 24 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:10,560 Speaker 1: to learn from the season. Look, I don't think you 25 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:12,720 Speaker 1: have much experience with this, but does this feel like 26 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 1: a team where coaching change could be made? Does this 27 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 1: feel unsettling or unsettled to you right now? The situation 28 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,119 Speaker 1: of what's happening next year. I mean, the one thing 29 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 1: I know about the league is there's always changes. Like 30 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 1: you know, there's always changes. It's inevitable in this league 31 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 1: that the roster is gonna change. I mean, I was 32 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,399 Speaker 1: the last game we played together with those players, with 33 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,480 Speaker 1: those with my teammates collectively, So I can't I'm not 34 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:38,080 Speaker 1: going to speak on anything that I don't know about. 35 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,560 Speaker 1: I don't know anything. I don't think anyone can predict that. 36 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 1: But I know that there will be changed because there's 37 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 1: always changed on roster and guys like that. So it's 38 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 1: always tough. Some guys played their last game NFL today, 39 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 1: That's always tough. Nothing is guaranteed in this league. So 40 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 1: I'm just grateful for the opportunity to take the field 41 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 1: with these guys, and I didn't get the reward at 42 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 1: all this year, but some guys and mostly guys, spent 43 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:00,160 Speaker 1: a lot of work this year and just what she 44 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 1: didn't go our way. But that's just how it goes sometimes. 45 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 1: What do you think as a defensive player when you 46 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 1: see your offense reading QB sneaks from you know to 47 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 1: to three yrline, third and eight. That means you know, 48 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 1: second to nine, third and eight. I mean the game 49 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 1: is built on field position at the end of the day, 50 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 1: it's built on field position. And if they felt like 51 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 1: they want to space to punt, I mean that happens, 52 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,799 Speaker 1: and to flip the field and play good defense regardless 53 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 1: however the offense is playing. UM, it's just the margin 54 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 1: air for the defense goes up or down. How well 55 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 1: the defensive playing gives offense more margin of error. There's 56 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,800 Speaker 1: been teams UM that have one with dominant defense and 57 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,800 Speaker 1: mediocre offense, and we just weren't dominant enough to win 58 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 1: that way this year. So obviously, with the injuries that 59 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 1: we've had on this team, especially on offense, that they 60 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 1: weren't going to be the highest scorning offense this year. 61 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,679 Speaker 1: When you lose your quarterback, you lose a lot of 62 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 1: your skill players, you lose half year old line, you're 63 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 1: not gonna have that production that you might have predicted. 64 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,240 Speaker 1: But I saw the Jacksonville Jaguars carry their carry their 65 00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 1: team to an FC championship. I've seen, I've seen it happen. 66 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 1: It's just you gotta find a way to win. And 67 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 1: I felt like we didn't find we didn't get a 68 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,960 Speaker 1: good rhythm and find a good way to win um 69 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 1: fast enough this year. And obviously with everything going on 70 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,920 Speaker 1: COVID and injuries and whatever they may be that everyone's 71 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 1: deal with around league, we just didn't get our hythm 72 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,359 Speaker 1: and didn't find our way to win soon enough. In 73 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:21,520 Speaker 1: this year. You cut the league twelve seven and then 74 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 1: they came down and scoring on you. What you see 75 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 1: in their offense and what you guys wasn't able to do. Yeah, 76 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 1: that was that was the worst part of the day 77 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 1: in my opinion, of offense. Give us an opportunity to 78 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 1: just to make it a game there and um schematically 79 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 1: they just stretch and cut back on us. And I 80 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 1: don't I don't know, you know, until I watched the film, 81 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 1: I don't know why or how or what it may 82 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 1: have been. But I just think Schematically, they had some 83 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 1: scheme runs that were able to stretch and and cut back. 84 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 1: Gibson's a good warrant runner and he's able to stretch 85 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,000 Speaker 1: out our defense and cut back get downhill. We don't 86 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 1: want to have vertical teams and in our run defense, 87 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 1: that's not what we're looking for. But until I watched 88 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 1: the film, I'm not gonna know why or how. I 89 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 1: just think it was a schematic thing that they had 90 00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,080 Speaker 1: some good place called to run the boat in gi 91 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 1: Us lot opportunities in the air of the second half. 92 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 1: Is they got his hands on the ball? Where arebody 93 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 1: get some sacks? I think they really just kept on 94 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 1: the ground and played a field position game, like we 95 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 1: talked about, in a way to close the game out. 96 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: So we got to get a stop on that drive. 97 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 1: And that's just that's just why you know, I'm up 98 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 1: here not pointing fingers, not point blame. There's plays that 99 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:17,279 Speaker 1: we could have made on our side and make that 100 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 1: a game going into the fourth quarter. There Joe did 101 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:23,360 Speaker 1: get fired. What would you think of that? I'm not 102 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 1: gonna answer hypothetical. So when you ask me, you know, 103 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,720 Speaker 1: next season or whatever. But I mean, if I don't 104 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 1: know we need you. When you got fired, Love were 105 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 1: recorded up saying, I mean there's a non answer. I mean, YO, 106 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 1: medical questions. So I don't know. You know, with your defense, 107 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 1: you brought up a team like Jackson, all right, they 108 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 1: had the top of my head, I could think of 109 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 1: like three premium pass rushers right to get to the 110 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 1: quarterback in order for this defense to get where you 111 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,279 Speaker 1: wanted to be. How much do you think that that's 112 00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 1: something that needs to be addressed. Um, I don't know. 113 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 1: As Ezlar is a good it's been been a good 114 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,799 Speaker 1: addition to our team. I mean we'll need Blake Martinez 115 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:09,359 Speaker 1: to be that. I mean, he's a huge piece of 116 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 1: what we do. When you lose a player like Blake 117 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 1: and pep our defense changes, our defense change. We have 118 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 1: to run it differently and that just adjusting throughout. Take 119 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 1: Crowder had to step up this year. We kind of 120 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,360 Speaker 1: got a lot of other guys in another linebacker position. 121 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 1: Through addition, Jalen Smith's been here a month, you know, 122 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,320 Speaker 1: b Max has been here two months. Um, So Reggie 123 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 1: Ragling has been our first year in our scheme. So 124 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 1: in order to be that type of defense needs your 125 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,919 Speaker 1: your key players on the field and unfortunately, when we 126 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 1: had some of those injuries, it just changed what we 127 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,920 Speaker 1: had to do and um, and we gotta figure out 128 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 1: a way faster to get on the same page so 129 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 1: we could be a dominant defense. I do think we 130 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 1: have personnel to be that. We're gonna have some high 131 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 1: pick in the draft or or so some high picks 132 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,719 Speaker 1: on the draft obviously, and I do think that you 133 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 1: can try to win that way. And all I can 134 00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 1: control is is when I'm on the field, and that's 135 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 1: from don me on defense. So that's what I, you know, 136 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:02,599 Speaker 1: care about.
