1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:05,400 Speaker 1: Hello, good morning, Good morning. Don't worry. I know you 2 00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:08,639 Speaker 1: probably a head to Green Bay, but I wanted to 3 00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:15,920 Speaker 1: ask a quick question about the Vikings and defending their 4 00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:22,360 Speaker 1: all world quarterback. In hindsight, might two have decided to 5 00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:29,000 Speaker 1: blitz less seeing how things played out, or you know, 6 00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:34,160 Speaker 1: what was the reason behind going after him? The Vikings. 7 00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:43,120 Speaker 1: I'm sorry the Ravens, so sorry you have me distracted. 8 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:47,159 Speaker 1: I was thinking about the Viking. I'm sorry. I'm sorry 9 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:52,720 Speaker 1: when you played the vict not the Vikings. Gosh, the 10 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:58,200 Speaker 1: Ravens on Sunday. I think I follow you. Yeah, okay, 11 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:02,800 Speaker 1: I don't follow me, so don't worry about it. Um, 12 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:08,479 Speaker 1: I'm just curious why you decided to blitz so much. Um, 13 00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:12,720 Speaker 1: I don't know. I didn't really I didn't really think 14 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:16,800 Speaker 1: about it like that. But um, yeah, like you said 15 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,039 Speaker 1: kind of at the beginning, we're trying to trying to 16 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 1: move on and get ready to go versus another dangerous team. Okay, 17 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:30,480 Speaker 1: and what are the inherent problems in trying to defend 18 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:34,759 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. This guy is like one of the best 19 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:39,199 Speaker 1: players in the NFL. And um, he's smart, he's athletic, 20 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 1: he's got a tremendous arm, talent and a feel for 21 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,520 Speaker 1: the game. Just looks like on tape at the game 22 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 1: is um slower to him than everybody else out there. 23 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 1: So this guy is he's impressive and haven't played him 24 00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:01,560 Speaker 1: a ton um, but he's proven for a long long 25 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 1: time that he can do anything he needs to do. 26 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:12,520 Speaker 1: Next question Bob soci Fall by Chris Ryan. I thanks stay, Steve. 27 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:16,520 Speaker 1: I want to ask you about the Ravens and you 28 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 1: know there I guess uniqueness. Devin said, it's kind of 29 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 1: like playing a triple Hey can you hear me? Yes? 30 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 1: Oh good, I can't hear me. How you doing okay? 31 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 1: Devin said the other day that it's kind of like 32 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 1: defending a triple opety, So I guess as you move 33 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 1: on from the Ravens game to the Packers rest of 34 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,079 Speaker 1: the schedule, is there much to take away from that 35 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 1: game or is it just kind of a one off 36 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 1: that it's such an unusual offense that you'll learn from things. 37 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 1: You try to correct mistakes in that game, but it's 38 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:55,080 Speaker 1: really kind of an anomaly compared to a typical game, 39 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 1: if that makes sense. Yeah, I mean there's always there's 40 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 1: always carry over week to week, even though the offensive 41 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 1: styles are different. There's things that, um, you just need 42 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 1: to do better as a defense. And so that's where 43 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:15,520 Speaker 1: we're gonna work towards this week. And regarding Rogers, um 44 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 1: in the Packers, I mean, he's got a lot of 45 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:21,360 Speaker 1: young people around him, but he still has uh, you know, 46 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 1: his favorite guy, Randall Cobb. It seems the connection they've 47 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 1: had in the past and what you see now, you know, 48 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:30,959 Speaker 1: how do you describe, like, you know, going against the 49 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 1: quarterback with a guy like that, that that he tends 50 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 1: to look to. Um, I know in two thousand fourteen 51 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 1: games on the line, chance to clinch it, he goes 52 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 1: to Cobb, you know, for a big reception against the Pats. 53 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 1: Just what have you seen from that connection through the 54 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 1: years and uh, that comfort level that he has with 55 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 1: the receiver, Yeah, you know, I mean building trust and 56 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 1: and and people in general, it takes time. And obviously 57 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: they've been together for a long time and and so 58 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 1: I'm sure that that their trust level is is very high. 59 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 1: You'd have to ask them, but it's definitely apparent when 60 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 1: you watch them play and the things that those two 61 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 1: do together. Um, you know, I'm sure every quarterback and 62 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,560 Speaker 1: skill player and even for us on defense. There's a 63 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,720 Speaker 1: trust level that, um, you know, you can really count 64 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,600 Speaker 1: on when it's crunch time in the game. So, um, 65 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 1: they're they're impressive to watch and seeing him do it 66 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 1: well for a long time. All right, thank you, Thanks. 67 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 1: My next question Chris Ryan, Hey, Steve, are you I'm good? 68 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 1: Are you doing good? Um? Just coming off the Ravens 69 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 1: getting wanted to ask you about goal line defense in 70 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 1: that game and kind of more generally throughout the course 71 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,920 Speaker 1: of these first three games. You know, what, what you've 72 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:54,839 Speaker 1: seen what needs to improve in that aspect of the game. Yeah, 73 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:58,480 Speaker 1: a lot of things to improve, that being one of them. 74 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,839 Speaker 1: But um, three game games into the season, Like I said, 75 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 1: we got a lot to work on and get better at. Um. 76 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,360 Speaker 1: You know, it starts with the coaches getting the players 77 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 1: ready to go. So we'll keep working at all that 78 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 1: stuff as we moved forward. Jonathan Jones top ranked cornerback 79 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,240 Speaker 1: at this point in the league in three games into it. 80 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,600 Speaker 1: But what does he bring? How has he improved through 81 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,480 Speaker 1: the years and do you see him in that role 82 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:30,480 Speaker 1: as being kind of an underrated shutdown type cornerback. Uh, yeah, 83 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 1: you know I've been with wood Jay Jones for a while, 84 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:37,840 Speaker 1: multiple years. And you know, I've said it before and 85 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,280 Speaker 1: I continue to feel the same way, if not stronger 86 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,599 Speaker 1: that you know, that guy is is such a tough 87 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 1: football player. He's such a good football player. He does 88 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 1: so many things well. He's tough as nails and he'll 89 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 1: do anything that the team needs him to do. And 90 00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 1: I really appreciate that about him. Um, you know lou 91 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 1: in him last year was was a tough blow for 92 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:07,360 Speaker 1: our entire defense. And um, I can't can't stress enough 93 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:10,840 Speaker 1: how how important of a piece he is. Um, no 94 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,040 Speaker 1: matter what he's doing up there on the field. Um, 95 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 1: he's tough, he's physical, he's aggressive, he's fast, he's smart, 96 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 1: he's instinctive. He's just a really good football player. I've 97 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 1: been saying that for a long time. So, UM, I 98 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,680 Speaker 1: love Jay Jones everything he brings to our team and 99 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:33,239 Speaker 1: as a friend, sorry and father thing um on Rogers. Obviously, 100 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,839 Speaker 1: each quarterback presents a unique challenge, and certainly Lamar Jackson 101 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 1: did that, but is it most difficult to prepare for 102 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:43,040 Speaker 1: a guy like Rogers or Josh Allen and their ability 103 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 1: to you know, extend plays, but also to do so 104 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 1: with a plus arm that has that type. Actually, those 105 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:55,360 Speaker 1: quarterbacks the most difficult to prepare for. Um, Honestly, we play, 106 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,599 Speaker 1: we played a good quarterback every week. And you know, 107 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 1: I've always said that no two players are the same. 108 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,480 Speaker 1: You know, great example being when we have Jason and 109 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:09,479 Speaker 1: Devin here in our building are identical twins. Um, they're 110 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 1: from the fantastic institution of Brookers. And you know, even 111 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 1: those two guys, they're not They're not the same. So 112 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 1: I've I've learned that and I'll never go back on 113 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 1: on my opinion that no two players I'm the same. 114 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 1: No two players you know, play the same style, same 115 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 1: have the same attribute. So, um, everybody's different and everybody's 116 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 1: hard to prepare for relative to to their skill sets. Thanks, 117 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 1: thank you, Thanks Chrission Bob so seeing Bob you're muted. 118 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 1: Thanks days. Uh, Steve, I just want to ask him 119 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 1: with the other j Jones, Jack Jones, and what you've 120 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 1: seen from him, particularly the last couple of weeks when 121 00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 1: he's been pressed into duty out there. Oh yeah, you know, 122 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 1: we we brought him on this team for a reason 123 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 1: because we want him here, um, and we like like 124 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 1: what he can do and like how you can help 125 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 1: the team. Um, he's a young kid. He's still kind 126 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 1: of learning his way, just like every every young player 127 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 1: in the NFL is. So you know, we're excited to 128 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 1: have him. Like I said, we we saw things based 129 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 1: on his college shape that that we liked, and we 130 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 1: brought him here for a reason. And UM, I think 131 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 1: he'll continue to improve and get better as long as 132 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 1: he works hard and um, you know, stays on, stays 133 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 1: on the right track, which he's on. Um, but you know, 134 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:37,839 Speaker 1: keep working hard, keep He's got a lot of good 135 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 1: and good uh you know, examples and people to follow 136 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 1: within his his DV room as well as on the 137 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 1: defense as well as on the team. So UM, I 138 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:54,080 Speaker 1: think it's it's gonna be be a good tractor trajectory 139 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,560 Speaker 1: up from where he's at right now. And um, like 140 00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 1: I said, excited to have him and brought him here 141 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 1: for a reason. And just quickly, what are some of 142 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 1: the things he showed you and has shown you since 143 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 1: you drafted him physically that reflect his mentality. It seems like, 144 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 1: you know, despite his kind of slender frame, he's not 145 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 1: afraid to stick his nose in there and run support, 146 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 1: run force the times. I mean, he seems like a 147 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 1: pretty aggressive guy out there from you know, an amateur's eye. Yeah, 148 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,440 Speaker 1: you know, one thing that that sticks out about him. 149 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 1: You know, I judge a book by his cover, you know, 150 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 1: so whatever he looks like, that is what it is. 151 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 1: But that doesn't you know, you can't can't see a 152 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,079 Speaker 1: person's mentality from just looking at him. You kind of 153 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 1: got to talk to him, get to know him. Um, 154 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 1: that kid loves football, along with a lot of other 155 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 1: players on our team. But he loves football and he 156 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 1: loves winning. And those are two two things that you 157 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,720 Speaker 1: you definitely want to see in your players. So he, uh, 158 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 1: he has those two things. He really cares. Like I said, 159 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 1: he loves football. He's passionate about what he does. He 160 00:09:58,200 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 1: takes a lot of pride in what he does and 161 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 1: and I appreciate that. And I know with that type 162 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 1: of mindset that I continue to learn more about us 163 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,560 Speaker 1: I spend more time with him that he uh, you 164 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 1: know that It's it's only going to get better from here. 165 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 1: All right, Thanks Steve, appreciate it, Thank you, Thank you. Steve. 166 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,079 Speaker 1: Appreciate it. Appreciate it. You guys, have a good day.
