WEBVTT - Press Pass: DeMeco Ryans

0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:11.200
<v Speaker 1>Yet you continually surprised that with Tom Brady can give

0:00:11.240 --> 0:00:14.760
<v Speaker 1>it the lack of weapons, he keeps losing. Yeah, I

0:00:14.800 --> 0:00:16.920
<v Speaker 1>think that's what It makes him a special, very special

0:00:17.000 --> 0:00:20.880
<v Speaker 1>quarterback and one of the quarterbacks it's always mentioned with

0:00:21.320 --> 0:00:23.479
<v Speaker 1>one of the one of the greatest because he's able

0:00:23.520 --> 0:00:26.720
<v Speaker 1>to get it done no matter who's at receiver, who's

0:00:26.720 --> 0:00:32.800
<v Speaker 1>at running back. He's constantly, uh, constantly as a successful quarterback.

0:00:33.200 --> 0:00:35.640
<v Speaker 1>Do because I'm sure you're aware of what Malcolm Jenkins

0:00:35.720 --> 0:00:39.680
<v Speaker 1>has said about it makes it hard to lead if

0:00:39.840 --> 0:00:43.280
<v Speaker 1>if you only see your little room that you don't

0:00:43.320 --> 0:00:45.959
<v Speaker 1>know what's being said to the rest of the defense

0:00:46.040 --> 0:00:48.920
<v Speaker 1>about making corrections and so forth. How do you feel

0:00:48.920 --> 0:00:54.080
<v Speaker 1>about that? Is it a different leadership I deal than

0:00:54.240 --> 0:00:58.280
<v Speaker 1>you experienced in Houston? I think, uh, I think Malcolm

0:00:58.320 --> 0:01:01.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, definitely has his opinion about how things could

0:01:01.160 --> 0:01:04.160
<v Speaker 1>be ran, and he's probably been through that when he

0:01:04.200 --> 0:01:06.880
<v Speaker 1>was on other teams. And you know, everybody has their

0:01:06.959 --> 0:01:11.760
<v Speaker 1>different style of how things are ran, how how corrections

0:01:11.760 --> 0:01:15.480
<v Speaker 1>are handled. But how we hand our corrections here is

0:01:15.760 --> 0:01:18.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, in the individual with the position. Coach you

0:01:18.520 --> 0:01:21.560
<v Speaker 1>know handles their individual room. So like I know our

0:01:21.640 --> 0:01:26.399
<v Speaker 1>room we had a rough meeting yesterday. Everything everything was

0:01:26.400 --> 0:01:29.720
<v Speaker 1>was hammered. Everybody you know had a had a tough

0:01:29.800 --> 0:01:32.320
<v Speaker 1>We had a tough meeting because you know, everybody was

0:01:32.440 --> 0:01:34.959
<v Speaker 1>held accountable in our room, and I know that goes

0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:37.800
<v Speaker 1>for each of them, the outside backers, a D line,

0:01:37.800 --> 0:01:41.800
<v Speaker 1>and also the defensive back room. So everybody is getting

0:01:42.319 --> 0:01:44.319
<v Speaker 1>told what they need to be told. It's just a

0:01:44.319 --> 0:01:46.800
<v Speaker 1>matter of us as players going out and you know,

0:01:46.920 --> 0:01:49.240
<v Speaker 1>correcting our mistakes and going out and playing the way

0:01:49.240 --> 0:01:52.080
<v Speaker 1>we're capable of playing. So it doesn't matter to me

0:01:52.240 --> 0:01:55.600
<v Speaker 1>who the message comes from, whether it's you know, Billy

0:01:55.800 --> 0:01:58.120
<v Speaker 1>or you know your position coach, as long as the

0:01:58.200 --> 0:02:01.480
<v Speaker 1>message gets across all or guys. It's the daily pace too.

0:02:02.640 --> 0:02:04.760
<v Speaker 1>You know. He also spoke about needing to slow down

0:02:04.760 --> 0:02:06.800
<v Speaker 1>and get some things straightened out. Do you ever feel

0:02:06.840 --> 0:02:10.160
<v Speaker 1>that way? I think I think we're fine what we're doing.

0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:18.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, Okay. Most of the mistakes mental or are

0:02:18.080 --> 0:02:21.760
<v Speaker 1>they physical or fundamentals or just not Sunday guys are

0:02:21.919 --> 0:02:24.840
<v Speaker 1>tackling or blockers whether they should. I think most of

0:02:24.840 --> 0:02:28.760
<v Speaker 1>the mistakes come from mentally. Mentally, that's whether it's anticipating

0:02:29.440 --> 0:02:31.400
<v Speaker 1>what you're gonna see or what you're gonna get, or

0:02:31.800 --> 0:02:34.200
<v Speaker 1>just mentally knowing where you need to be. I think

0:02:34.240 --> 0:02:36.880
<v Speaker 1>physically guys are fine. It's just a matter of us,

0:02:37.280 --> 0:02:39.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, being in a proper place, having a proper

0:02:39.600 --> 0:02:42.720
<v Speaker 1>leverage on the coverage, or having a proper leverage on

0:02:42.720 --> 0:02:45.480
<v Speaker 1>a block. As long as those things are sound and

0:02:45.639 --> 0:02:47.960
<v Speaker 1>everything else will fall in place, guys will hustle and

0:02:47.960 --> 0:02:50.120
<v Speaker 1>get to the ball. But we just have to be

0:02:50.520 --> 0:02:53.359
<v Speaker 1>you know, I want everybody to be perfect on the technique,

0:02:53.360 --> 0:02:55.959
<v Speaker 1>which is not gonna happen every time. Nobody will play

0:02:55.960 --> 0:02:58.720
<v Speaker 1>a perfect game. But as long as guys are as

0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:01.720
<v Speaker 1>consistent as possible and everybody else is hustling, will be

0:03:01.760 --> 0:03:04.360
<v Speaker 1>fun of all the good things that's that's said about Frady,

0:03:04.480 --> 0:03:08.360
<v Speaker 1>What's something that like only a linebacker can understand? Uh,

0:03:08.880 --> 0:03:11.720
<v Speaker 1>I mean, as for as linebackers, I think, you know,

0:03:11.840 --> 0:03:14.799
<v Speaker 1>he does as good a job of any as far

0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:17.560
<v Speaker 1>as the play acts and kind of making making the

0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:20.000
<v Speaker 1>linebacker suck up on the run and then just dumping

0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:22.840
<v Speaker 1>the ball right over linebacker's head. So he's just I mean,

0:03:22.919 --> 0:03:25.760
<v Speaker 1>and he does play that that matchup game, you know

0:03:25.800 --> 0:03:28.720
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna try to get receivers matched up on linebackers

0:03:28.720 --> 0:03:31.120
<v Speaker 1>as much as they can or get linebackers out of

0:03:31.160 --> 0:03:33.679
<v Speaker 1>the box and man covers. Most of their games is

0:03:33.840 --> 0:03:36.440
<v Speaker 1>all about all about match up. We go at the

0:03:36.520 --> 0:03:40.240
<v Speaker 1>inside linebacker position. Is everybody getting on the same page

0:03:40.280 --> 0:03:43.800
<v Speaker 1>about staying where they need to stay and being, you know,

0:03:44.280 --> 0:03:46.840
<v Speaker 1>doing the job that they're designed to deal in each play.

0:03:46.920 --> 0:03:49.080
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, Like I said, in our inside linebacker room,

0:03:49.080 --> 0:03:52.080
<v Speaker 1>we had our corrections on Monday or I mean on

0:03:52.120 --> 0:03:54.920
<v Speaker 1>Tuesday of how you know, we have to play better,

0:03:55.120 --> 0:03:57.960
<v Speaker 1>and you know it starts with us. We haven't played

0:03:57.960 --> 0:04:00.440
<v Speaker 1>as well as we need to play. So we feel

0:04:00.480 --> 0:04:03.840
<v Speaker 1>like the defense goes as we go. So it's inside linebackers,

0:04:03.840 --> 0:04:06.560
<v Speaker 1>our group. We have to play better, said yesterday's excited

0:04:06.600 --> 0:04:09.200
<v Speaker 1>to play this game because you play the Patriots, you

0:04:09.200 --> 0:04:11.360
<v Speaker 1>really have to raise your level. Yeah, play. I mean

0:04:11.400 --> 0:04:12.800
<v Speaker 1>it's just a good thing to be playing a team

0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:14.840
<v Speaker 1>that's sitting there ten on one knowing that you have

0:04:14.880 --> 0:04:16.760
<v Speaker 1>to raise the level. Yeah. I think I think it's

0:04:16.760 --> 0:04:19.120
<v Speaker 1>a good thing that we face the Patriots. They're a

0:04:19.279 --> 0:04:22.599
<v Speaker 1>great team. Everybody understands they're a great team and they've

0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:24.960
<v Speaker 1>been great for a long time, and it's it's a

0:04:24.960 --> 0:04:27.080
<v Speaker 1>great challenge for us. We've been down a few the

0:04:27.080 --> 0:04:29.680
<v Speaker 1>past few weeks, so I feel like the energy is

0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:32.400
<v Speaker 1>definitely up. You know, guys are excited to go and

0:04:32.440 --> 0:04:34.479
<v Speaker 1>play the Patriots, and I feel like we'll have a

0:04:34.600 --> 0:04:36.680
<v Speaker 1>really good out and against these guys. It seems their

0:04:36.720 --> 0:04:39.120
<v Speaker 1>offensive changes each week, So how do you prepare for that?

0:04:39.880 --> 0:04:42.360
<v Speaker 1>You just have to be sounding your rules and your

0:04:42.400 --> 0:04:44.720
<v Speaker 1>assignments and you see what they give us through out

0:04:44.720 --> 0:04:47.919
<v Speaker 1>throughout the game. But as we know, they'll change things

0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:50.039
<v Speaker 1>on the sideline through the game, So you just have

0:04:50.120 --> 0:04:53.760
<v Speaker 1>to be really flexible when you play the Patriots because

0:04:54.160 --> 0:04:56.360
<v Speaker 1>they change, so we have we may have to change

0:04:56.400 --> 0:04:59.000
<v Speaker 1>some stuff on the sideline, So everybody just has to be,

0:04:59.160 --> 0:05:01.159
<v Speaker 1>you know, real flexib able to see, you know, how

0:05:01.200 --> 0:05:05.039
<v Speaker 1>they're going to attack us. Are you aware that the

0:05:05.120 --> 0:05:09.400
<v Speaker 1>officiating crew and still in your game, was um kind

0:05:09.400 --> 0:05:13.159
<v Speaker 1>of demoted after what happened in the Cardinals Bengals game

0:05:13.200 --> 0:05:18.400
<v Speaker 1>and they were actually taking off the primetime game this week, nasire,

0:05:18.520 --> 0:05:20.279
<v Speaker 1>I don't. I don't keep up too much with the

0:05:20.400 --> 0:05:24.680
<v Speaker 1>with the else ything. All right, Thanks guys, thanks, thank you.

0:05:25.160 --> 0:05:31.200
