WEBVTT - Nick Sorensen Previews Week 13 Matchup Against the Bills | Press Pass

0:00:00.800 --> 0:00:01.280
<v Speaker 1>Pretty good.

0:00:01.320 --> 0:00:05.640
<v Speaker 2>How are you, well, I guess what stood out most

0:00:05.680 --> 0:00:07.320
<v Speaker 2>when you're watching the film at the Green Bay game?

0:00:07.360 --> 0:00:11.400
<v Speaker 1>Is it the best tackles or I guess that's one

0:00:11.440 --> 0:00:11.719
<v Speaker 1>of them.

0:00:11.800 --> 0:00:14.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean it was just you know, the tail of

0:00:14.720 --> 0:00:18.079
<v Speaker 2>the halfs with the the run game, you know, especially

0:00:18.079 --> 0:00:22.239
<v Speaker 2>in the first half, tackling was apart. Some was you

0:00:22.280 --> 0:00:24.880
<v Speaker 2>know one early on I got you know, got got

0:00:24.880 --> 0:00:27.200
<v Speaker 2>with a call. We tried to pressure there early and

0:00:27.840 --> 0:00:30.280
<v Speaker 2>just it worked for them and not for us, So

0:00:30.320 --> 0:00:32.560
<v Speaker 2>they got us. We could have tackled him for eight

0:00:33.159 --> 0:00:35.400
<v Speaker 2>and then there was a really really good open field

0:00:35.479 --> 0:00:38.440
<v Speaker 2>spin move. Yeah, and they got eighteen out of it.

0:00:38.479 --> 0:00:40.080
<v Speaker 2>So it's like you'd like it to cut it to

0:00:40.080 --> 0:00:42.760
<v Speaker 2>eight and not being explosive, but you know, they had

0:00:42.760 --> 0:00:44.839
<v Speaker 2>got us there. And then just some other you know

0:00:44.920 --> 0:00:47.120
<v Speaker 2>plays in the in the run game early. I mean,

0:00:47.159 --> 0:00:49.360
<v Speaker 2>we made some adjustments and you know, fix that in

0:00:49.400 --> 0:00:51.960
<v Speaker 2>the second half. But it's hard when you get behind

0:00:52.040 --> 0:00:54.200
<v Speaker 2>like that, and you know, we didn't take the ball.

0:00:54.320 --> 0:00:57.520
<v Speaker 2>I think we had multiple ops, so they made their

0:00:57.520 --> 0:00:59.960
<v Speaker 2>ops we didn't. It makes a huge difference in the game.

0:01:00.400 --> 0:01:02.520
<v Speaker 2>So when they can control every aspect of it, starting

0:01:02.560 --> 0:01:04.440
<v Speaker 2>with the run game and then we didn't you know,

0:01:04.560 --> 0:01:06.120
<v Speaker 2>five or five in the red zone. You can't do that.

0:01:06.160 --> 0:01:07.840
<v Speaker 2>I don't care how they get down there, we can't.

0:01:07.840 --> 0:01:11.040
<v Speaker 2>So the list is pretty long in my book. You know,

0:01:11.120 --> 0:01:13.640
<v Speaker 2>we did something's good, but there's a lot that we

0:01:13.680 --> 0:01:15.560
<v Speaker 2>can be better at, and our guys know it.

0:01:15.600 --> 0:01:17.640
<v Speaker 1>We're determined and we got to fix it.

0:01:18.120 --> 0:01:21.800
<v Speaker 3>What's your coaching style? You missed nineteen tackles? You're the coordinator.

0:01:21.840 --> 0:01:24.840
<v Speaker 3>I mean, do you start you lose it, you start

0:01:24.840 --> 0:01:27.320
<v Speaker 3>throwing stuff, or are you calm or you start calling

0:01:27.360 --> 0:01:30.280
<v Speaker 3>guys out? I mean, what's your what's the process?

0:01:31.160 --> 0:01:35.400
<v Speaker 2>I don't I'm not a yeller. I mean it's you're

0:01:35.520 --> 0:01:39.240
<v Speaker 2>It's pretty pretty evident. It's coach it up and we

0:01:39.319 --> 0:01:41.479
<v Speaker 2>got to fix it or find someone else, you know

0:01:41.760 --> 0:01:43.199
<v Speaker 2>that can do it. But I think in that game,

0:01:43.240 --> 0:01:45.760
<v Speaker 2>there was just it was a consistent not running our feet.

0:01:46.040 --> 0:01:47.760
<v Speaker 2>And I think a lot of it came down to

0:01:47.800 --> 0:01:49.520
<v Speaker 2>the running back too. I think we knew going into

0:01:49.560 --> 0:01:52.080
<v Speaker 2>it was we had to get body on body. But

0:01:53.160 --> 0:01:55.280
<v Speaker 2>he was really good. He's a really good jump cutter,

0:01:55.840 --> 0:01:57.760
<v Speaker 2>he's good on the spin. I mean he's as good

0:01:57.760 --> 0:01:59.960
<v Speaker 2>as they got or good as they get in the league.

0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:02.400
<v Speaker 2>I think so with us. It's why I continue to

0:02:02.440 --> 0:02:05.520
<v Speaker 2>work tackling circuit every every week. It's hard when you

0:02:05.520 --> 0:02:07.960
<v Speaker 2>don't have the pads on, and so even when we

0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:10.360
<v Speaker 2>take them off, we're still going to do it because

0:02:10.520 --> 0:02:13.040
<v Speaker 2>you can go whole practice and not really get that.

0:02:13.120 --> 0:02:16.560
<v Speaker 2>So it's emphasizing running your feet, wrap, squeeze, drive for

0:02:16.639 --> 0:02:18.400
<v Speaker 2>five and it showed up in the game.

0:02:20.680 --> 0:02:25.200
<v Speaker 3>So there are no acceptable excuses. But now, are you

0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:28.320
<v Speaker 3>seeing fatigue with the players, because sometimes when guys fall

0:02:28.320 --> 0:02:30.280
<v Speaker 3>off tackles, sometimes it's just they get to a certain

0:02:30.320 --> 0:02:31.880
<v Speaker 3>point they're running out of gas.

0:02:32.600 --> 0:02:34.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean you could. I don't see that.

0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:36.720
<v Speaker 2>I don't think that because our guys trained hard and

0:02:36.760 --> 0:02:39.920
<v Speaker 2>they're they're prepared. I just think it's it's the consciousness

0:02:39.960 --> 0:02:42.400
<v Speaker 2>of you see so many times people approach a tackle

0:02:42.440 --> 0:02:44.919
<v Speaker 2>and we talked about you know, sprint tackling earlier in

0:02:44.960 --> 0:02:47.360
<v Speaker 2>the year, when we talked about the tackling and you

0:02:47.360 --> 0:02:49.720
<v Speaker 2>know runners like that that can jump cut. They want

0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:51.359
<v Speaker 2>you to come up and come to balance, where a

0:02:51.360 --> 0:02:52.760
<v Speaker 2>lot of people think you need to come up, come

0:02:52.760 --> 0:02:54.840
<v Speaker 2>to balance, sit in a chair. But the best thing

0:02:54.880 --> 0:02:57.240
<v Speaker 2>you can do is just keep going, keep running your feet.

0:02:57.440 --> 0:03:01.880
<v Speaker 2>It's just continually wrapping it and having that mindset of

0:03:02.240 --> 0:03:05.880
<v Speaker 2>just accelerating through and not if you stop, he will

0:03:05.960 --> 0:03:08.200
<v Speaker 2>juke you. He will catch you on a jump cut

0:03:08.280 --> 0:03:10.200
<v Speaker 2>and get you moved and then be able to especially

0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:12.600
<v Speaker 2>with him because he could you know, run through an edge,

0:03:12.680 --> 0:03:15.200
<v Speaker 2>like run through his shoulder because how fast he could reaccelerate.

0:03:15.639 --> 0:03:18.520
<v Speaker 2>So it's it's just applying what we already know and

0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:21.400
<v Speaker 2>being as detailed as possible on executing it.

0:03:22.240 --> 0:03:26.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, after the game, Fred said they presented different run

0:03:26.320 --> 0:03:28.840
<v Speaker 3>looks than what we had prepared for in the first half.

0:03:30.760 --> 0:03:33.520
<v Speaker 1>What did I think? There was some there were some formations.

0:03:33.639 --> 0:03:35.880
<v Speaker 2>I mean they didn't do it quite as much you know,

0:03:35.960 --> 0:03:37.160
<v Speaker 2>leading up to it, and they did it a few

0:03:37.160 --> 0:03:39.000
<v Speaker 2>times in the game. We had wrapped him during the week,

0:03:39.040 --> 0:03:41.160
<v Speaker 2>but not like quite as much. So that was part

0:03:41.160 --> 0:03:43.040
<v Speaker 2>of the stuff that we had to fix and you know,

0:03:43.080 --> 0:03:44.120
<v Speaker 2>make those adjustments.

0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:48.000
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, austments are thing.

0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:51.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, We're just we're always talking through stuff and you know,

0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:52.840
<v Speaker 2>do we need to you know, change a call, do

0:03:52.880 --> 0:03:54.360
<v Speaker 2>we need to you know, we see it this way.

0:03:54.400 --> 0:03:57.120
<v Speaker 2>That's why you have the little pads on the sideline.

0:03:57.120 --> 0:03:59.120
<v Speaker 2>And we talked through stuff how we saw it. You know,

0:03:59.200 --> 0:04:01.760
<v Speaker 2>we're talking with the guys upstairs, talking with the players.

0:04:03.200 --> 0:04:05.080
<v Speaker 2>You know, some games you adjust, some times you don't.

0:04:05.960 --> 0:04:08.960
<v Speaker 2>It just there's always continuous. It just depends.

0:04:10.320 --> 0:04:12.280
<v Speaker 1>Address the twelve men on the field. Penalties.

0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:17.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's just it's pure communication. I mean, it's starts

0:04:17.320 --> 0:04:21.360
<v Speaker 2>with me. We emphasize and we have to fix it.

0:04:21.440 --> 0:04:24.799
<v Speaker 2>Were doing all we can to do. It starts with nonverbal,

0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:27.560
<v Speaker 2>then it turns to verbal. Know who's in, know who's out,

0:04:27.600 --> 0:04:31.400
<v Speaker 2>and what personnel grouping, whether it's nickel bass or you

0:04:31.440 --> 0:04:33.960
<v Speaker 2>go with bigger, you know, more d linemen. I think

0:04:34.000 --> 0:04:37.119
<v Speaker 2>the first one was more they were approaching the huddle

0:04:37.160 --> 0:04:40.000
<v Speaker 2>in a way that you know, to me, it seemed

0:04:40.080 --> 0:04:43.320
<v Speaker 2>quicker because they had subbed got to the huddle, and

0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:46.000
<v Speaker 2>that's something for me. I feel like we were should

0:04:46.000 --> 0:04:48.240
<v Speaker 2>be allowed to sub you know, I'm just we're still

0:04:48.240 --> 0:04:51.159
<v Speaker 2>working through what the exact rules on that are because

0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:53.719
<v Speaker 2>they subbed late into the huddle, so we you know,

0:04:54.000 --> 0:04:55.960
<v Speaker 2>need to be able to sub That's what there's kind

0:04:55.960 --> 0:04:59.080
<v Speaker 2>of an argument about it. And then the second one,

0:04:59.080 --> 0:05:02.640
<v Speaker 2>there's no excuse. There's no excuse, players, coaches, all of us.

0:05:03.520 --> 0:05:06.560
<v Speaker 1>That's the red zone and the goal line you talked about. Yep,

0:05:06.640 --> 0:05:08.400
<v Speaker 1>what have you seen out of the goal line defense

0:05:08.480 --> 0:05:10.160
<v Speaker 1>this year? That is?

0:05:10.240 --> 0:05:13.000
<v Speaker 3>Are there any strides or is it simple breakdowns or

0:05:13.080 --> 0:05:14.040
<v Speaker 3>what's gone wrong?

0:05:14.160 --> 0:05:17.320
<v Speaker 2>I mean it's some I feel like we're getting hits

0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:20.400
<v Speaker 2>on guys. It's not like super easy, you know, it's

0:05:20.440 --> 0:05:22.239
<v Speaker 2>they you just can't let them get them any shots.

0:05:22.320 --> 0:05:23.960
<v Speaker 1>And the closer you get, the harder it gets.

0:05:24.120 --> 0:05:26.720
<v Speaker 2>Like we can be We're like hitting a guy, and

0:05:26.839 --> 0:05:28.919
<v Speaker 2>but it's on the one or the two, and you

0:05:29.000 --> 0:05:30.520
<v Speaker 2>keep getting a yard and a yard.

0:05:30.880 --> 0:05:31.600
<v Speaker 1>It's really cool.

0:05:31.600 --> 0:05:34.800
<v Speaker 2>If it was on the fifteen and you hit them

0:05:34.800 --> 0:05:36.120
<v Speaker 2>and they get a yard, you're like, all right, it's

0:05:36.120 --> 0:05:38.360
<v Speaker 2>second and nine. Or if they do it again, okay, cool,

0:05:38.360 --> 0:05:41.120
<v Speaker 2>it's you know, third and eight. But you're down low.

0:05:41.240 --> 0:05:43.160
<v Speaker 2>So we got to do our best to not let

0:05:43.200 --> 0:05:45.960
<v Speaker 2>them get in the low low and continue to find

0:05:45.960 --> 0:05:48.240
<v Speaker 2>ways to execute the right way so they don't get

0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:51.719
<v Speaker 2>point a touchdown. It's a four point difference, huge difference,

0:05:51.800 --> 0:05:53.800
<v Speaker 2>especially with that many of them.

0:05:54.360 --> 0:05:57.520
<v Speaker 3>What's the challenge this week? Buffalo's scored thirty I think

0:05:57.560 --> 0:06:01.200
<v Speaker 3>in six straight games or five straight games, they got

0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:01.560
<v Speaker 3>a couple of.

0:06:04.120 --> 0:06:07.000
<v Speaker 2>Look like it's all that. I think it starts with

0:06:07.080 --> 0:06:09.680
<v Speaker 2>Josh Allen. I think he continues to get better. He's

0:06:09.760 --> 0:06:12.520
<v Speaker 2>all the you know what he's always been, you know,

0:06:12.600 --> 0:06:16.880
<v Speaker 2>effective in being able to run and scramble and find guys.

0:06:16.680 --> 0:06:18.640
<v Speaker 2>The difference I think with him this year he's just

0:06:18.680 --> 0:06:21.039
<v Speaker 2>being more effective. He's grown as far as being able

0:06:21.080 --> 0:06:23.080
<v Speaker 2>to throw on time. If you give him something, he

0:06:23.120 --> 0:06:25.120
<v Speaker 2>has the arm to be able to rip it, you know,

0:06:25.440 --> 0:06:28.920
<v Speaker 2>wherever that you know given throw is. But he can

0:06:28.920 --> 0:06:30.960
<v Speaker 2>also he's really good at moving guys, you know, in

0:06:31.080 --> 0:06:33.640
<v Speaker 2>zones and you know, being pinpoint accurate with it. But

0:06:33.760 --> 0:06:36.159
<v Speaker 2>how fast and how he can accelerate the throws. And

0:06:36.200 --> 0:06:39.040
<v Speaker 2>then you know, with him, it's his size and his speed,

0:06:39.680 --> 0:06:41.560
<v Speaker 2>the ability to throw it on the run, especially down

0:06:41.560 --> 0:06:43.960
<v Speaker 2>the field. A lot of guys don't have that vision downfield.

0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:46.680
<v Speaker 2>I feel like he sees that really really well and

0:06:46.720 --> 0:06:49.200
<v Speaker 2>he can throw it really really well and he can

0:06:49.640 --> 0:06:52.000
<v Speaker 2>find the gap that he needs to escape, but then

0:06:52.040 --> 0:06:55.440
<v Speaker 2>also still stay alive and in certain situations, you know,

0:06:55.480 --> 0:06:57.680
<v Speaker 2>he can run you over or he can slide, So

0:06:57.760 --> 0:06:59.839
<v Speaker 2>you have to be ready for both and be able

0:06:59.839 --> 0:07:00.680
<v Speaker 2>to act to both.

0:07:02.880 --> 0:07:04.520
<v Speaker 1>Doing this long time as a player and a coach.

0:07:04.640 --> 0:07:07.239
<v Speaker 1>You know how this works because the super.

0:07:07.080 --> 0:07:10.000
<v Speaker 2>Bowl and the other five and six all sorts of

0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:11.200
<v Speaker 2>criticism for everybody.

0:07:11.320 --> 0:07:15.320
<v Speaker 1>Yes, get hey, what's wrong with you? It's coordinated? How

0:07:15.360 --> 0:07:18.720
<v Speaker 1>would you assess your performance? And you know, just kind

0:07:18.760 --> 0:07:19.480
<v Speaker 1>of how you've done this.

0:07:20.160 --> 0:07:23.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm just focused on each week. I honestly, that's the truth.

0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:26.080
<v Speaker 2>If we don't win, I feel like it's not good enough.

0:07:26.440 --> 0:07:28.840
<v Speaker 2>That's the truth. That's all I care about. I don't

0:07:28.880 --> 0:07:30.880
<v Speaker 2>know all the numbers whatever, I don't not here to

0:07:30.960 --> 0:07:34.600
<v Speaker 2>assess where I'm at. I'm about are we winning and

0:07:34.600 --> 0:07:36.760
<v Speaker 2>then are we getting better? You know, are we working

0:07:36.800 --> 0:07:38.480
<v Speaker 2>hard to get better? And are we winning the game.

0:07:38.560 --> 0:07:41.280
<v Speaker 2>So if we don't win, it's not good enough. I mean,

0:07:41.320 --> 0:07:43.160
<v Speaker 2>it's never gonna be perfect, so we can always coach

0:07:43.240 --> 0:07:45.400
<v Speaker 2>it and get better. I feel like our guys have

0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:48.200
<v Speaker 2>gotten better because we've had some new guys and I'd

0:07:48.240 --> 0:07:50.360
<v Speaker 2>like to see the development of them. But it's not

0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:53.080
<v Speaker 2>about moral victories in that way. It's it's good to

0:07:53.080 --> 0:07:55.280
<v Speaker 2>see our guys grow. I'm really proud of them and

0:07:55.320 --> 0:07:57.240
<v Speaker 2>that they battle and they get better. And I think

0:07:57.280 --> 0:08:00.040
<v Speaker 2>as a unit we are getting better. You want to

0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:05.400
<v Speaker 2>see it applied and you know, win the game yep,

0:08:05.640 --> 0:08:06.239
<v Speaker 2>thanks guys,
