1 00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: How do you fit three outside linebackers into two. 2 00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:07,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a good problem to have, right Obviously, with 3 00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:10,039 Speaker 2: a Z's coming on and and the impact he's been 4 00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:13,119 Speaker 2: able to have for us, he's earned the opportunity to 5 00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:16,360 Speaker 2: play right. So it's really good getting Kavon back out there, 6 00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:21,920 Speaker 2: seeing him going back through it, kind of see where 7 00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:23,880 Speaker 2: it progresses with him this week, see where we're at 8 00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:27,720 Speaker 2: come Sunday, but optimistic with him and and we'll see 9 00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:29,320 Speaker 2: where it goes. But it's a good problem to have. 10 00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:30,680 Speaker 1: Pitch camp. 11 00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:34,200 Speaker 2: I am not sure that I think we will see 12 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:35,919 Speaker 2: where kind of where the week goes with that, but 13 00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:38,160 Speaker 2: I have I don't have a number for you right now. 14 00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:39,479 Speaker 2: You spent your. 15 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:43,480 Speaker 3: Bye week concentrating on the run defense to run that 16 00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:44,279 Speaker 3: that side of it is. 17 00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,279 Speaker 2: Head Yeah, I mean you look at every you look 18 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,559 Speaker 2: at everything, and you go back and watch it all 19 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:51,639 Speaker 2: just to kind of see what you're doing. But yeah, 20 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 2: the explosive runs like this an area we got to improve. 21 00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,640 Speaker 2: And it's three to four runs a game, right, and 22 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,560 Speaker 2: then you've got another to only twenty two that you 23 00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:05,120 Speaker 2: feel pretty good about, right, So we got to do 24 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,280 Speaker 2: a good job finding ways to eliminate those making sure 25 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,560 Speaker 2: we're tackling, making sure we're fitting things appropriately, playing with fundamentals, 26 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,039 Speaker 2: being where we're supposed to be, getting off blocks right, 27 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,240 Speaker 2: getting off blocks, and making sure we're getting to the football. 28 00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:18,679 Speaker 2: So it's a it's a myriad of things that kind 29 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 2: of showed up as you go back and watch. I 30 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:25,400 Speaker 2: think there were thirty three running back ones that were explosive, 31 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:31,319 Speaker 2: which is too many, and really that's that's what's setting 32 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,919 Speaker 2: us back behind everything. So, I mean, just the percentage 33 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,479 Speaker 2: is over eighty five percent of snaps, you feel pretty good, 34 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:41,560 Speaker 2: it's two point five per rush whatever, like that's really 35 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,319 Speaker 2: good run defense. And then you get these explosive in there, 36 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 2: and it just kind of escalates everything. So we got 37 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 2: to make sure we do a good job of eliminating 38 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,880 Speaker 2: those and minimizing those, right, Like, you might give up 39 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 2: a ten to twelve yarder, but let's not turn that 40 00:01:55,680 --> 00:02:00,120 Speaker 2: thing into twenty five or thirty That there hasn't. I 41 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 2: mean it's been it's been sporadic. I think it's been 42 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:08,800 Speaker 2: different guys in different spots at different times, right, So 43 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 2: I think tackling is the one thing that show shows 44 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 2: up yards after contact towards the bottom of the leg right, 45 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 2: just in yards per carry, what what teams are getting 46 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 2: after contact. We've missed too many tackles. I think that's contributed. 47 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 2: And then just fit understanding, making sure where we're supposed 48 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,520 Speaker 2: to be and not jumping under and not jumping outside 49 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 2: until that ball de clas Is there anything you know? 50 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,359 Speaker 2: You mentioned those factors a lot throughout the personnel wise, 51 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,080 Speaker 2: you have to make changes there to see if maybe 52 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,119 Speaker 2: just another guy with a better job. I think it's 53 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,119 Speaker 2: just continuing to focus on our fundamentals, like the tackling, 54 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 2: making sure we're work. We work it every day at nauseum, 55 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 2: but that's got to be something we continue to improve 56 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:52,359 Speaker 2: and again like obviously not doing it enough if it's 57 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 2: not showing up on Sunday. So it's just something we've 58 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 2: got to continue to emphasize and work on. And I 59 00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,080 Speaker 2: think the other big part of it is just get 60 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,079 Speaker 2: on blocks right, like making sure we're shedding. It's one 61 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 2: thing we got to make sure we're where we're supposed 62 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,080 Speaker 2: to be when the ball is still back there to 63 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 2: go wherever, But at some point we got to be 64 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:09,679 Speaker 2: able to shed and show up and make some place. 65 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:14,640 Speaker 3: Is there any advantage with the bye week versus, like 66 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 3: you said, day to day, you're drilling and you're grinding, 67 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 3: but you're grinding for that next game. The idea that 68 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,360 Speaker 3: is there a reset that could be made where the 69 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 3: guys come back to the practice field on Monday and 70 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 3: you could kind of wipe the slate clean a little 71 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:29,920 Speaker 3: bit and say, Okay, we're just going to go back 72 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 3: to what we need to do and get rid of habits. 73 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,240 Speaker 3: Or is it really just more of the same. 74 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 2: I think it's definitely you change your emphasis. You find 75 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 2: ways that recreate the situations they're finding themselves in those 76 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 2: sundays as best you can as a coach. Hopefully we're 77 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 2: evaluating that week to week in terms of the drills 78 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 2: we're doing. But I think just with the extra time 79 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 2: being able to have them in the meeting room, you 80 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 2: can really go through and show all the things consecutively. 81 00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 2: Where on a normal week you're really coach and off 82 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 2: one game, right, you're coaching off the previous game, and 83 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 2: then you're kind of on to the next. So it 84 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 2: gives you some time to dive back through where the 85 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 2: players can see the bulk of it instead of just 86 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,840 Speaker 2: a certain instance on the Sunday previously, so there's a 87 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,280 Speaker 2: little bit more focus. I guess that you're able to 88 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 2: get out of it in mayfield and what he chourgs 89 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:22,679 Speaker 2: to them. Yeah, he's having a really good year again. 90 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 2: The ability to create is always there with him, to 91 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,719 Speaker 2: extend plays, to scramble, he's going to take take the 92 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 2: open lanes if those are there. It's doing a good 93 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 2: job distributing getting the ball in guy's hands. They've done 94 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:37,919 Speaker 2: They've done a really good job after the catch. I 95 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 2: think they're perimeter players, running backs. They've all done a 96 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 2: really good job after the catch. He's gonna take the shots. 97 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 2: He's gonna find ways to get it to Evans down 98 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 2: the field. We understand that. But I think he's he's 99 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,840 Speaker 2: comfortable in the system and it shows nowhere to go 100 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 2: with the ball. He's including everybody, so it's gonna be 101 00:04:58,080 --> 00:04:59,600 Speaker 2: a big challenge for it. He's playing at really high 102 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:01,599 Speaker 2: level right and I think he's top top five in 103 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 2: just about every category quarterback wise. And he's got a 104 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,479 Speaker 2: lot of weapons, and I think that the two backs 105 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 2: how they utilize them not only in the run game, 106 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 2: but also in the passing game with the screens and 107 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,280 Speaker 2: some of that stuff. They got a lot of ways 108 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:15,040 Speaker 2: they can attack you. 109 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 4: I'cating that Dexter can't play every single snap, if I 110 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 4: remember correctly, last game, he was on the bench to 111 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 4: start the third quarter, coming out of the twenty minute 112 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 4: halftime break. 113 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:27,680 Speaker 5: Why did he need a breather there? 114 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think, I mean, we do a good job 115 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,279 Speaker 2: trying to manage throughout the games where those snaps are 116 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:37,279 Speaker 2: accounting for Drede does a really good job of handling 117 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 2: that and just making sure we got these guys fresh 118 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 2: at the fourth quarter. Went that matters most, especially when 119 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 2: a lot of these games are coming down to the 120 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 2: wire and where especially I mean that game, you go 121 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 2: back and look, there was four drives there at the 122 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:50,920 Speaker 2: end where we had to get stops and we were 123 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,720 Speaker 2: able to just trying to manage throughout the game a 124 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 2: little bit with him. We were fresh in the fourth 125 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 2: and obviously we want we want them out there every snap, right, 126 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 2: Like I wish you could play one hundred for I 127 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 2: would never take him off the field if I could, 128 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,840 Speaker 2: but to be able to get him at his best, 129 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 2: we got to find some spots to rotate the other guys. 130 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 1: In Bobby O Kara Kay is really important to this defense, 131 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,920 Speaker 1: but it doesn't feel like he's had the impact maybe 132 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 1: that he could have. What are you seeing from him? 133 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 1: And maybe how can you get more out about it? 134 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think I think he's done a 135 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 2: good job overall. I really do. I think he's continuing 136 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 2: to play downhill, trying to find ways to pick his 137 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 2: pick his moments when the trigger and get downhill and 138 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:37,360 Speaker 2: be a little bit more assertive downhill. But he's physical 139 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 2: when he does. You feel him, like you feel him 140 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 2: on those linemen taking those guys on, And I think 141 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 2: just continue to evolve in the passing game where we 142 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:49,600 Speaker 2: can find ways that utilize his length, right, like zone coverage. 143 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,839 Speaker 2: It's between him and some of these other longer players, 144 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 2: Like they can take up a lot of space without 145 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,680 Speaker 2: really being in a lot of places, right, just because 146 00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 2: their length and their vision, so continue to evolve some 147 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 2: of that. We can use them that way and take 148 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 2: advantage of someone's length and ball production that he's had. 149 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,479 Speaker 2: Does a quarterback change as a defensive corner for your team, 150 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 2: I'm saying a quarterback changes affect you at all? Yeah, 151 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 2: I mean no, I mean, I think we've got to 152 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 2: make sure we're focused on us and control what we 153 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 2: can control, and we've got plenty to worry about defensively, 154 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 2: especially with this cast coming in. I think the biggest 155 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 2: thing for for coaching staff for players, like you support 156 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 2: all your teammates, whether they're playing or not. Right, Like, 157 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 2: you're gonna ride behind whoever's in there. You're you're gonna 158 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 2: support the guys who aren't in there just the same 159 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,679 Speaker 2: because again, they could be in there at any moment. 160 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 2: So I mean that's football, being a good teammate, making 161 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:43,840 Speaker 2: sure you're you're supporting one another, encouraging one another. And uh, ultimately, 162 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 2: we got to do our part, Like we got to 163 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 2: do our part to help whoever's on that side of 164 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 2: the ball. We got to do our part. Get some 165 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 2: takeaways another area we struggled with, right, Like, it's another 166 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 2: way we can help the offense. 167 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 5: Still more anything you're doing differently and we only get 168 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 5: to see the first ten minutes practice to emphasize the takeaways, 169 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 5: like you added more ball stripping drills or any anything 170 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 5: at all you're doing change to tweak it. 171 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think making a bigger emphasis to show them, right, 172 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 2: to show them opportunities. I mean going back through the 173 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 2: opportunities that we've missed to attack the ball. I think 174 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 2: the the one that's glaring to me is with all 175 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,760 Speaker 2: the sack production and the pressure production, not being able 176 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 2: to get off the quarterback. Quarterbacks are number one fumblers 177 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 2: in the NFL year after year after year. So when 178 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,199 Speaker 2: you get opportunities to get it off them, and you're 179 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,839 Speaker 2: back there making sure we don't miss opportunities to get 180 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,599 Speaker 2: off the quarterback because we we've missed a handful or 181 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:39,600 Speaker 2: we should have been able to get off the quarterback. 182 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 2: What do you explain one pick? I mean, have you 183 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 2: been around something like that? For I wish I had 184 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,200 Speaker 2: an explanation because then I could probably have a solution, right. 185 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:52,839 Speaker 2: I think we just got to make them when we 186 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 2: have chances. There's a couple that we haven't made when 187 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 2: we've had some chances to get them. Continuing to make 188 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,680 Speaker 2: sure we take advantage of our opportunities. We're in vision 189 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 2: and break zone type coverages you play man, it gets hard. 190 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 2: Like again, the main objective man coverage is make sure 191 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 2: your guy doesn't catch the ball. So when you're in 192 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:14,080 Speaker 2: those man coverages gets a little hard because you're focused 193 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 2: on driving and closing space and you got to play 194 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 2: through the hands a little bit more where you don't 195 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 2: have as much vision to break on some throws. I 196 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 2: think the batted balls show up like that's an area 197 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 2: we've done decent that, but being able to get some 198 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 2: more bad balls, get some tip passes in the are 199 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,040 Speaker 2: that we can come down with and ultimately make sure 200 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 2: we continue to affect the quarterback. Right, let's force and 201 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,160 Speaker 2: make some Aaron throws, some quicker decisions with the football 202 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 2: when he might not be ready to and hopefully in 203 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 2: the right spot, and we can we can make the 204 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:46,080 Speaker 2: players when they're there. But again, I'm searching, just like 205 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,600 Speaker 2: you right now, we're looking trying to find ways to 206 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,560 Speaker 2: where we can create some more turnovers. 207 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 4: When you're showing the clips of like getting to the 208 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,079 Speaker 4: quarterback and you're emphasizing that, I guess what are you 209 00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,199 Speaker 4: pointing out that it could do better? 210 00:09:58,120 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 1: You want to see them? 211 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think just attacking the ball, Like there's been 212 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 2: a few where a lot of times that quarterback doesn't 213 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,400 Speaker 2: feel that, especially on the edge right, like whether he's 214 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 2: coming from behind. There were a couple where we're come 215 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,080 Speaker 2: in front of him, on him and he's got it 216 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 2: there and he doesn't really see us and we don't 217 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,959 Speaker 2: attack it. So making sure there's a ball. Emphasis again 218 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,000 Speaker 2: to talk out both sides of your mouth, because this 219 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,560 Speaker 2: week we're telling him the same thing Baker strong in 220 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 2: the pocket, he's going to try to avoid, Like make 221 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:27,880 Speaker 2: sure you're able to stay on your feet, like you 222 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,840 Speaker 2: can't lunch it at the dude. But at the same time, 223 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 2: if the ball is there, if I'm trying to reach 224 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,199 Speaker 2: from the backside, like don't miss opportunities to use our length, 225 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,960 Speaker 2: be long and try to swat down on the ball 226 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 2: at his arm, at his elbow, whatever that might be, 227 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:42,920 Speaker 2: to see if we can dislodge the ball.
