WEBVTT - Fred Warner Reviews Defensive Performance vs. Steelers | Press Pass

0:00:00.000 --> 0:00:04.880
<v Speaker 1>What was to be this year. Sure, I think it

0:00:04.960 --> 0:00:07.960
<v Speaker 1>was uh, exactly how we wanted to come out. You know,

0:00:08.039 --> 0:00:10.880
<v Speaker 1>it was an emphasis on in you know, past seasons

0:00:10.920 --> 0:00:14.120
<v Speaker 1>us coming out slow starts. We knew that we needed

0:00:14.120 --> 0:00:18.080
<v Speaker 1>to come in and set the tone right from the jump, offense, defense,

0:00:18.120 --> 0:00:20.040
<v Speaker 1>special teams. I think across the board, we we did

0:00:20.079 --> 0:00:22.919
<v Speaker 1>exactly what we wanted to do and execute it. What's

0:00:22.960 --> 0:00:28.200
<v Speaker 1>that feeling like we were able to do game? Uh,

0:00:28.280 --> 0:00:30.960
<v Speaker 1>great feeling, you know, Uh, that's exactly how you wanna

0:00:31.000 --> 0:00:33.800
<v Speaker 1>start it. You know, I'm I'm obviously thinking about all

0:00:33.840 --> 0:00:35.360
<v Speaker 1>the all the players that we could have had back,

0:00:35.400 --> 0:00:36.680
<v Speaker 1>you know at the end of the of the first

0:00:36.720 --> 0:00:38.720
<v Speaker 1>half and then the second half. But to come out

0:00:38.760 --> 0:00:42.440
<v Speaker 1>and start that way against a team that, honestly throughout

0:00:42.440 --> 0:00:44.120
<v Speaker 1>the preseason they were hot. You know, I'm sure they

0:00:44.120 --> 0:00:46.239
<v Speaker 1>had a lot of confidence coming in, and uh, we

0:00:46.320 --> 0:00:49.960
<v Speaker 1>just came out and executed Christians long touchdown. The receivers

0:00:49.960 --> 0:00:59.320
<v Speaker 1>were on the defense and training campus offense that I

0:00:59.320 --> 0:01:01.440
<v Speaker 1>don't know if there is I haven't seen it, like

0:01:01.440 --> 0:01:03.320
<v Speaker 1>like how we do it. I Mean, that's that's an

0:01:03.320 --> 0:01:05.200
<v Speaker 1>emphasis on that side, is if you wanna if you

0:01:05.240 --> 0:01:06.640
<v Speaker 1>wanna play it and you wanna start at that pl

0:01:06.800 --> 0:01:09.119
<v Speaker 1>a position. It's not about just catching the ball. They

0:01:09.160 --> 0:01:13.240
<v Speaker 1>they do a heck of a job downfield blocking as aggressively.

0:01:13.240 --> 0:01:15.240
<v Speaker 1>If I, as I've seen, you're playing behind him. How

0:01:15.240 --> 0:01:19.560
<v Speaker 1>good was that? The that's life play amazing, amazing, and

0:01:19.560 --> 0:01:21.240
<v Speaker 1>and I knew that was gonna be the case. You know,

0:01:21.280 --> 0:01:23.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if we'd had all all those guys

0:01:23.480 --> 0:01:26.319
<v Speaker 1>healthy out there all camp. You know, Uh, obviously we

0:01:26.400 --> 0:01:28.920
<v Speaker 1>had to Uh we had both to come back late,

0:01:28.959 --> 0:01:31.280
<v Speaker 1>and uh, having everybody healthy out there, you saw what

0:01:31.319 --> 0:01:33.800
<v Speaker 1>the result was. What were your impressions of up games

0:01:33.920 --> 0:01:37.200
<v Speaker 1>just coming note like this, I don't know, I have

0:01:37.200 --> 0:01:38.920
<v Speaker 1>to watch. He didn't have a sex so he was

0:01:38.920 --> 0:01:43.000
<v Speaker 1>a little upset about that. But uh, oh my gosh,

0:01:43.000 --> 0:01:46.080
<v Speaker 1>you kidding me. But just having him out there was

0:01:46.080 --> 0:01:48.640
<v Speaker 1>a huge boost to not only our our defense but

0:01:48.720 --> 0:01:54.640
<v Speaker 1>the team injury since beginning. Dad. You know the I

0:01:54.760 --> 0:01:56.960
<v Speaker 1>I my my coach Johnny Holland always says, the harder

0:01:56.960 --> 0:01:59.360
<v Speaker 1>you work, the lucky you get. And uh, you know

0:01:59.480 --> 0:02:01.120
<v Speaker 1>that that's the say that we don't. We don't believe

0:02:01.160 --> 0:02:03.360
<v Speaker 1>in luck. I I believe in hard work. And uh,

0:02:03.520 --> 0:02:04.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, reaving what you sow and I think that

0:02:04.960 --> 0:02:07.640
<v Speaker 1>he's worked his tail off all off season, and uh

0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:09.080
<v Speaker 1>for him to come out and have a game like that,

0:02:09.200 --> 0:02:11.799
<v Speaker 1>it's such a big confidence boost to himself. And we're

0:02:11.800 --> 0:02:13.680
<v Speaker 1>gonna need it all season. You know. We need everybody

0:02:13.840 --> 0:02:15.920
<v Speaker 1>to uh play a big, big role on this defense.

0:02:15.960 --> 0:02:18.600
<v Speaker 1>And I was so happy for him today. A big

0:02:18.600 --> 0:02:23.760
<v Speaker 1>buildings absolutely, Uh, anytime he's out of there out there

0:02:23.800 --> 0:02:25.400
<v Speaker 1>on that field. He's one of the best defensive players

0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:27.160
<v Speaker 1>in the NFL. So they got to count for him

0:02:27.160 --> 0:02:30.359
<v Speaker 1>every single play, alright,
