1 00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:01,280 Speaker 1: Pretty good. 2 00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:05,640 Speaker 2: How are you, well, I guess what stood out most 3 00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:07,320 Speaker 2: when you're watching the film at the Green Bay game? 4 00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:11,400 Speaker 1: Is it the best tackles or I guess that's one 5 00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:11,719 Speaker 1: of them. 6 00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:14,720 Speaker 2: I mean it was just you know, the tail of 7 00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:18,079 Speaker 2: the halfs with the the run game, you know, especially 8 00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:22,239 Speaker 2: in the first half, tackling was apart. Some was you 9 00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:24,880 Speaker 2: know one early on I got you know, got got 10 00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:27,200 Speaker 2: with a call. We tried to pressure there early and 11 00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:30,280 Speaker 2: just it worked for them and not for us, So 12 00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:32,560 Speaker 2: they got us. We could have tackled him for eight 13 00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:35,400 Speaker 2: and then there was a really really good open field 14 00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,440 Speaker 2: spin move. Yeah, and they got eighteen out of it. 15 00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:40,080 Speaker 2: So it's like you'd like it to cut it to 16 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:42,760 Speaker 2: eight and not being explosive, but you know, they had 17 00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:44,839 Speaker 2: got us there. And then just some other you know 18 00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,120 Speaker 2: plays in the in the run game early. I mean, 19 00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:49,360 Speaker 2: we made some adjustments and you know, fix that in 20 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:51,960 Speaker 2: the second half. But it's hard when you get behind 21 00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:54,200 Speaker 2: like that, and you know, we didn't take the ball. 22 00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 2: I think we had multiple ops, so they made their 23 00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 2: ops we didn't. It makes a huge difference in the game. 24 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,520 Speaker 2: So when they can control every aspect of it, starting 25 00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 2: with the run game and then we didn't you know, 26 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:06,120 Speaker 2: five or five in the red zone. You can't do that. 27 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:07,840 Speaker 2: I don't care how they get down there, we can't. 28 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:11,040 Speaker 2: So the list is pretty long in my book. You know, 29 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,640 Speaker 2: we did something's good, but there's a lot that we 30 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:15,560 Speaker 2: can be better at, and our guys know it. 31 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:17,640 Speaker 1: We're determined and we got to fix it. 32 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 3: What's your coaching style? You missed nineteen tackles? You're the coordinator. 33 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,840 Speaker 3: I mean, do you start you lose it, you start 34 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,320 Speaker 3: throwing stuff, or are you calm or you start calling 35 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 3: guys out? I mean, what's your what's the process? 36 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:35,400 Speaker 2: I don't I'm not a yeller. I mean it's you're 37 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 2: It's pretty pretty evident. It's coach it up and we 38 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:41,479 Speaker 2: got to fix it or find someone else, you know 39 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:43,199 Speaker 2: that can do it. But I think in that game, 40 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,760 Speaker 2: there was just it was a consistent not running our feet. 41 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 2: And I think a lot of it came down to 42 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 2: the running back too. I think we knew going into 43 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 2: it was we had to get body on body. But 44 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,280 Speaker 2: he was really good. He's a really good jump cutter, 45 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 2: he's good on the spin. I mean he's as good 46 00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 2: as they got or good as they get in the league. 47 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 2: I think so with us. It's why I continue to 48 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 2: work tackling circuit every every week. It's hard when you 49 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 2: don't have the pads on, and so even when we 50 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,360 Speaker 2: take them off, we're still going to do it because 51 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 2: you can go whole practice and not really get that. 52 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 2: So it's emphasizing running your feet, wrap, squeeze, drive for 53 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:18,400 Speaker 2: five and it showed up in the game. 54 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 3: So there are no acceptable excuses. But now, are you 55 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 3: seeing fatigue with the players, because sometimes when guys fall 56 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 3: off tackles, sometimes it's just they get to a certain 57 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 3: point they're running out of gas. 58 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 1: I mean you could. I don't see that. 59 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 2: I don't think that because our guys trained hard and 60 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,920 Speaker 2: they're they're prepared. I just think it's it's the consciousness 61 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 2: of you see so many times people approach a tackle 62 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,919 Speaker 2: and we talked about you know, sprint tackling earlier in 63 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,360 Speaker 2: the year, when we talked about the tackling and you 64 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 2: know runners like that that can jump cut. They want 65 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:51,359 Speaker 2: you to come up and come to balance, where a 66 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 2: lot of people think you need to come up, come 67 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 2: to balance, sit in a chair. But the best thing 68 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,240 Speaker 2: you can do is just keep going, keep running your feet. 69 00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 2: It's just continually wrapping it and having that mindset of 70 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 2: just accelerating through and not if you stop, he will 71 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 2: juke you. He will catch you on a jump cut 72 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 2: and get you moved and then be able to especially 73 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 2: with him because he could you know, run through an edge, 74 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 2: like run through his shoulder because how fast he could reaccelerate. 75 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,520 Speaker 2: So it's it's just applying what we already know and 76 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 2: being as detailed as possible on executing it. 77 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, after the game, Fred said they presented different run 78 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 3: looks than what we had prepared for in the first half. 79 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 1: What did I think? There was some there were some formations. 80 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 2: I mean they didn't do it quite as much you know, 81 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 2: leading up to it, and they did it a few 82 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 2: times in the game. We had wrapped him during the week, 83 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 2: but not like quite as much. So that was part 84 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 2: of the stuff that we had to fix and you know, 85 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 2: make those adjustments. 86 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 1: But yeah, austments are thing. 87 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, We're just we're always talking through stuff and you know, 88 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 2: do we need to you know, change a call, do 89 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 2: we need to you know, we see it this way. 90 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 2: That's why you have the little pads on the sideline. 91 00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 2: And we talked through stuff how we saw it. You know, 92 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 2: we're talking with the guys upstairs, talking with the players. 93 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 2: You know, some games you adjust, some times you don't. 94 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 2: It just there's always continuous. It just depends. 95 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 1: Address the twelve men on the field. Penalties. 96 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just it's pure communication. I mean, it's starts 97 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:21,360 Speaker 2: with me. We emphasize and we have to fix it. 98 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,799 Speaker 2: Were doing all we can to do. It starts with nonverbal, 99 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 2: then it turns to verbal. Know who's in, know who's out, 100 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 2: and what personnel grouping, whether it's nickel bass or you 101 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 2: go with bigger, you know, more d linemen. I think 102 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,119 Speaker 2: the first one was more they were approaching the huddle 103 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 2: in a way that you know, to me, it seemed 104 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 2: quicker because they had subbed got to the huddle, and 105 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 2: that's something for me. I feel like we were should 106 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 2: be allowed to sub you know, I'm just we're still 107 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,159 Speaker 2: working through what the exact rules on that are because 108 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,719 Speaker 2: they subbed late into the huddle, so we you know, 109 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 2: need to be able to sub That's what there's kind 110 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 2: of an argument about it. And then the second one, 111 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 2: there's no excuse. There's no excuse, players, coaches, all of us. 112 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 1: That's the red zone and the goal line you talked about. Yep, 113 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 1: what have you seen out of the goal line defense 114 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,160 Speaker 1: this year? That is? 115 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 3: Are there any strides or is it simple breakdowns or 116 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:14,040 Speaker 3: what's gone wrong? 117 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 2: I mean it's some I feel like we're getting hits 118 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 2: on guys. It's not like super easy, you know, it's 119 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,239 Speaker 2: they you just can't let them get them any shots. 120 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 1: And the closer you get, the harder it gets. 121 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,720 Speaker 2: Like we can be We're like hitting a guy, and 122 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:28,919 Speaker 2: but it's on the one or the two, and you 123 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 2: keep getting a yard and a yard. 124 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:31,600 Speaker 1: It's really cool. 125 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 2: If it was on the fifteen and you hit them 126 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 2: and they get a yard, you're like, all right, it's 127 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,360 Speaker 2: second and nine. Or if they do it again, okay, cool, 128 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 2: it's you know, third and eight. But you're down low. 129 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,160 Speaker 2: So we got to do our best to not let 130 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 2: them get in the low low and continue to find 131 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,240 Speaker 2: ways to execute the right way so they don't get 132 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,719 Speaker 2: point a touchdown. It's a four point difference, huge difference, 133 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:53,800 Speaker 2: especially with that many of them. 134 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 3: What's the challenge this week? Buffalo's scored thirty I think 135 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 3: in six straight games or five straight games, they got 136 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 3: a couple of. 137 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 2: Look like it's all that. I think it starts with 138 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 2: Josh Allen. I think he continues to get better. He's 139 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 2: all the you know what he's always been, you know, 140 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:16,880 Speaker 2: effective in being able to run and scramble and find guys. 141 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 2: The difference I think with him this year he's just 142 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,039 Speaker 2: being more effective. He's grown as far as being able 143 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 2: to throw on time. If you give him something, he 144 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 2: has the arm to be able to rip it, you know, 145 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:28,920 Speaker 2: wherever that you know given throw is. But he can 146 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 2: also he's really good at moving guys, you know, in 147 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 2: zones and you know, being pinpoint accurate with it. But 148 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,159 Speaker 2: how fast and how he can accelerate the throws. And 149 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,040 Speaker 2: then you know, with him, it's his size and his speed, 150 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 2: the ability to throw it on the run, especially down 151 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 2: the field. A lot of guys don't have that vision downfield. 152 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 2: I feel like he sees that really really well and 153 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 2: he can throw it really really well and he can 154 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 2: find the gap that he needs to escape, but then 155 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 2: also still stay alive and in certain situations, you know, 156 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 2: he can run you over or he can slide, So 157 00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:59,839 Speaker 2: you have to be ready for both and be able 158 00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 2: to act to both. 159 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 1: Doing this long time as a player and a coach. 160 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,239 Speaker 1: You know how this works because the super. 161 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 2: Bowl and the other five and six all sorts of 162 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 2: criticism for everybody. 163 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 1: Yes, get hey, what's wrong with you? It's coordinated? How 164 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 1: would you assess your performance? And you know, just kind 165 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 1: of how you've done this. 166 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 2: I'm just focused on each week. I honestly, that's the truth. 167 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 2: If we don't win, I feel like it's not good enough. 168 00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 2: That's the truth. That's all I care about. I don't 169 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 2: know all the numbers whatever, I don't not here to 170 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 2: assess where I'm at.
