1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:09,760
Speaker 1: I guess, Karen, you a big head now or now.

2
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:11,200
Speaker 2: Are you cuche? How are we doing.

3
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:16,320
Speaker 3: Defense the best you will have faced?

4
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 2: Yeah?

5
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:23,960
Speaker 1: I mean I think just statistically in play style, you know,

6
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 1: they're playing at a high level. They're playing a lot

7
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 1: of confidence. It's a lot of speed, a lot of disruption.

8
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: They don't give you a whole lot of time to

9
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 1: make decisions.

10
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 2: Uh.

11
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 1: And then there's enough you know, change ups in there

12
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 1: that you know you just have to be good.

13
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 2: You have to be sound and you can't hold onto

14
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 2: the ball.

15
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, coverage is sticky and the linebackers are fast.

16
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:48,559
Speaker 2: Your run defense.

17
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 1: Doesn't matter what the finished the stats metrics is with

18
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 1: the list of the league, aside from the obvious talent,

19
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 1: what is allowed to that group to be So for

20
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 1: seven weeks, I think that we've improved our tackling. We've

21
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: improved continued to improve of our technique, you know, and

22
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 1: again it hasn't been perfect, but it's it's just about

23
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 1: coaching edge wall and swarming and and making sure that

24
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:15,320
Speaker 1: you know we do those things and you know we've

25
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,320
Speaker 1: done them. Sometimes we'll have to continue to do them.

26
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 1: That's the thing about this league is you don't stats

27
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: and metrics numbers don't mean anything.

28
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 2: You have to go out there and and be able

29
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 2: to prove it.

30
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 1: And I know that they'll have a good plan, uh

31
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: for for how they want to run it. And it's

32
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: a physical group of of linemen and their tight ends

33
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: are blocking well, you know, and Quen Shawn is rushing,

34
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: you know, running hard, physical, So they've done a nice job.

35
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 2: Howl your experience. How was the blocker handle? The level

36
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 2: of success and good? More than I mean, I think

37
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 2: we always just try to stay consistent.

38
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: We've tried to say, keep that message going, try to

39
00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 1: have a you know, a new plan, new preparation, and

40
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: new opponent each and every week, you know, try to

41
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 1: celebrate the success that we've had, but then clearly move

42
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 1: on and focus on the next challenge. And we'll have

43
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 1: to do that this week, and you know it's a

44
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 1: big one, you know, coming back home and just making

45
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 1: sure that you know, we won't take anything for granted

46
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 1: in our preparation. This is a different unit, a different

47
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: team than than Tennessee, and so that we have to

48
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 1: just get going, learn them, learn a play style, try

49
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 1: to match their speed the best that we can in

50
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 1: practice and be ready to go for it on Sunday.

51
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 2: Why you kill her first time tour?

52
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 1: I just you know, he was a very productive college player,

53
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: and you know he's improved his fourth down ability and

54
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:48,679
Speaker 1: has experience there.

55
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 3: Killansons named the AFC Defender of the League.

56
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:55,679
Speaker 4: Just what have you seen from him this season and

57
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 4: what does it mean for him to bring that honor.

58
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: I mean he's showed up in the offseason ready to

59
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: learn and work and earn a role, and he's done that.

60
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,959
Speaker 1: And I would say that he's an important member of

61
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:14,239
Speaker 1: the punt team, something that he's taken very seriously since

62
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 1: he got here and trying to do those things and

63
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 1: help us on a punt team and then taking advantage

64
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 1: of his opportunities.

65
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 3: Speak good special teams as a teammate and a colleague,

66
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 3: Bubba than Trump in the quality's a demonstrated as a

67
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 3: player and also as a coach that they make him

68
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 3: a future of the pick coach.

69
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 1: Great competitive spirit as a player, I mean, he was

70
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: a Tasmanian devil. Enjoyed a time with Bubba immensely and

71
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 1: then being able to be with him in Cleveland last year.

72
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 1: It was fun to just see his relationship and connections

73
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: with the players. The way that he coaches, his energy

74
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: is evaluation of players. So he's done a great job

75
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: in his role and I'm sure that if presented with

76
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: those opportunities he would he would do an amazing job

77
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: with any head coaching opportunities that would come his way.

78
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: Like like you mentioned this offseason one to play man coverage,

79
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: it feels like the past couple of weeks you guys

80
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: have kind of gotten away from that.

81
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 2: Has it go more of a product of.

82
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: The game plan or your execution would actually play man?

83
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 2: Probably a little bit of both, you know what I mean.

84
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: So when we play man, we got to not let

85
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 1: our man catch the ball and we got to be

86
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 1: able to get to the quarterback and and force them

87
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,719
Speaker 1: to you know, to get rid of it maybe before

88
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 1: those routes can separate or run away.

89
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 4: A lot of CP's question. A lot of times coaches

90
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 4: say that how teams responded success at adversity, and coaches

91
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 4: that we can see like how that how that translates?

92
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,479
Speaker 4: Have you noticed anything specifically where you're interested to see

93
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,039
Speaker 4: how this team would deal with success when you guys

94
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 4: started stacking, you know, wins.

95
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 1: Well, first off, I don't know who CP is I apologize.

96
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 1: I know, Chris, I just didn't know CP.

97
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, We're just I don't really. We've tried to keep

98
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 2: it the same and we've tried to coach the same.

99
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 1: We've tried to show them the things that they've done

100
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: well and that we have to continue to do and enhance,

101
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: show them the things that we have to improve on,

102
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: and then eliminate the stuff that that's going to get

103
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: us beat coming out of that game. And show them

104
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 1: the corrections and the emphasis that we put on the

105
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 1: run game and the things that we when we did

106
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: it well, when we didn't do it well. You know,

107
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 1: coach ball security, coach our identity, practice our identity every

108
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: single day. I don't know how else to do it. No,

109
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 1: I just you know, I mean it's you kind of

110
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 1: just got to stay consistent and focus on these things and.

111
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 2: You'll practice it every day.

112
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 3: Sorry.

113
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,359
Speaker 4: So you've been around Jim Schwartz the last year obviously in.

114
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 2: Tennessee to talk about identity.

115
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:55,599
Speaker 4: What would you how would you describe against his preferred

116
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 4: identity defense.

117
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: Well, they're fast, you know, I mean, they're they're disruptive,

118
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 1: you know, they they they put pressure on the quarterback

119
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 1: and they do it through through their their players and

120
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 1: their identity, you know, I mean, they're they're they understand

121
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: what they want to do and how they want to play,

122
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 1: and they want to force into mistakes. H if you

123
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,280
Speaker 1: give up loose plays or guys get on the edge

124
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: of somebody or somebody you've got an elite edge rusher

125
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:31,039
Speaker 1: on the outside, and if you know you can't step up,

126
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: it's going to be hard to to protect, you know,

127
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 1: and then the corners are going to be sticky, and

128
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 1: you know, the linebackers are all can run. Safeties are

129
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,159
Speaker 1: very good tacklers. And that's the thing that I've noticed

130
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 1: is that you know, if a ball breaks, it's eight

131
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 1: yards is a really long run for this against this team,

132
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 1: because the safeties are such good tacklers.

133
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 2: You know, Grant and Ronnie.

134
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 4: Listen to winning a home game versus the road game

135
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 4: over years football.

136
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,719
Speaker 1: Can it be Can it be somewhat of a distraction

137
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:00,720
Speaker 1: eating back home?

138
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 3: No?

139
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 2: I don't think the numbers would tell you that.

140
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, I think you play well,

141
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 1: and you take care of football, create some explosive plays,

142
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 1: get off the field on third down, score touchdowns in

143
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 1: the red zone. I would say that no matter where

144
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 1: you are, what time zone you're in, that those things

145
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 1: would always translate, and you know, maybe the defensive communication

146
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 1: would have to be improved or maybe eye contact their

147
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 1: hand signals as opposed to being able to hear you know.

148
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're playing well enough and your fans

149
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: are into it, and there's it's loud, you know, I

150
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 1: mean communicating different things that are happening that don't happen

151
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: on the road, you could practically yell out to the

152
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 1: defense on the road as quiet.

153
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 4: As it is because a lot of drink may be

154
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 4: so appy.

155
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that I think receivers are helping them.

156
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: I think that the ability to step up in a pocket.

157
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: But you know, I probably you know, special talents as well,

158
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: maybe staying calm and the things that they've worked on

159
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 1: and he's practiced as far as when he's on the move,

160
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: you know, to be able to still gilt, stay in

161
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: phase and not open up his body or let things

162
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,239
Speaker 1: you know, get loose, which would lead lead doing erratic

163
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 1: or an errant throw.

164
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 2: Like we have a nasty vote trail a little while,

165
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 2: just what if anything in the way of an update

166
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 2: can you up?

167
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 1: I would say that his spirits are good, he's feeling good,

168
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 1: he's been in, he's been meeting with coaches, been in meetings.

169
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:39,079
Speaker 2: So I appreciate you asking, I do you know?

170
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,719
Speaker 1: And there'll be a treatment plan here coming up that

171
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 1: he'll have to follow. But but right now, it's good

172
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 1: to see him. It's good to see him in and

173
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 1: his you know, spirits are good. You've played against some

174
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 1: of the greatest quarterbacks of all time, Bar Marino, Elway

175
00:08:58,400 --> 00:08:59,959
Speaker 1: played with the greatest quarterback of all time.

176
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 2: We just Drake may fit into that conversation right now.

177
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 1: I mean I never played those guys when they were

178
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 1: that young, but I did play against those guys. I

179
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 1: mean I played against Dan Marino when his cleat was

180
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 1: like twelve inches high because of his achilles and it

181
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 1: was on the dirt infield. Yeah, you know, too early

182
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 1: in his career to understand. I think Drake's so excited

183
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,680
Speaker 1: just to be leading this football team, and it's fun

184
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 1: to watch him want to prepare and get better and

185
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 1: improve every day. Got another question to I know you

186
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: were kidding, what I mean.

187
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,599
Speaker 2: Have you ever seen a quarterback kick this hout for

188
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 2: such an extended period? I try not to focus on that.

189
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 1: I think we focus on what's going on this week

190
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 1: and what corrections need to be made. And the good

191
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: thing is is there's a lot of things that we

192
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 1: can improve.

193
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 2: There's so much that we can improve.

194
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,559
Speaker 1: In all three phases right and still be able to

195
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 1: win a foototball game. But we have to to improve

196
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 1: on them and correct them, you know, or or we're

197
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 1: gonna The unfortunate part is you're gonna have to learn

198
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:09,839
Speaker 1: from losing, and I don't want to do that.

199
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 4: Like, what are ongoing conversations and Drake about the slide

200
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,240

Speaker 2: with him? Mark?

205
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 1: I know we talked to him about making great decisions

206
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 1: like the rest of the team, and that would be

207
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 1: a good decision for him to make. But again, like

208
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: all the other conversations we have with players, those will

209
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 1: remain with us. But that's part of making great decisions.

210
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 2: Thanks guys, Thanks
