1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,880
Speaker 1: Good morning, Ron. How are you. I'm doing doing it

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:04,760
Speaker 1: so I'm doing great. Thanks. Are you ever going to

3
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:09,480
Speaker 1: play up one o'clock Sunday football game again? Hopefully I will,

4
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 1: hopefully soon. I mean it's gonna feeling like we've just

5
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 1: been having night games, and I mean all that you

6
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 1: enjoy them because you know you're on the national television

7
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:21,799
Speaker 1: and getting playing in front of a a lot of people.

8
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:24,239
Speaker 1: It can take a total on anybody from time to time.

9
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 1: What's it like preparing for a guy like Aaron Rodgers's

10
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 1: It's a lot. I mean, because this is a guy

11
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 1: who does everything well. He can scramble well, he does

12
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 1: a d ball well, has excellent accuracy, smart quarterback, kind

13
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 1: of always knows what you're in, always gets the ball

14
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:45,319
Speaker 1: out quick when he needs to get the ball out quick. Um,

15
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 1: does a good job of moving the safety in the

16
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:51,559
Speaker 1: middle of the field, controlling the safety, controlling the offense.

17
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 1: I mean, he's he's what you will want in a

18
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 1: quarterback and it's gonna be a tough task for us,

19
00:00:57,920 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: So it was gonna have to do a good job

20
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 1: doing him on Sunday night. Is there one receiver that's

21
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 1: going to get more attention than others, or does he

22
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 1: spread the ball around well enough for you not to

23
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:09,960
Speaker 1: have to do that. I mean, he's kind of one

24
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 1: of those guys. Um. If he has a receiver with

25
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 1: a high and who's making plays, he's going to feed him.

26
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: Or if it's a matchup that he likes, UM, maybe

27
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 1: a corner that he wants to keep, getting the ball

28
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: to a receiver on that matchup, I mean, he's going

29
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 1: to do it. But he's a quarterback who doesn't um,

30
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: predetermine where he's gonna go. Um, he goes to all

31
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: his reads, gets the balls in the right place. Um,

32
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: And there's a good job of doing that. We're talking

33
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 1: to New England Patriots defensive back to Ron Harmon. One

34
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 1: of the one of the hallmarks, one of the characteristics,

35
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: it seems of a Bill Belichick team, and especially a

36
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick defense, is that it improves throughout the course

37
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: of the season. Are you seeing improvement in your defensive unit? Oh? Yeah,

38
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: I mean we're still we're still a way the way

39
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 1: from where we want to be. I mean, nobody's never

40
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: going to be perfect and always looking to be better.

41
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: But I just think in terms to where we were

42
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the year to where we are now. Um,

43
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: we're continually making improvement. We're getting better. We're doing the

44
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 1: little things better, which is making us play more consistent football. Now,

45
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 1: a guy that you and some of the other safeties

46
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 1: could be responsible for is Jimmy Graham, who's in his

47
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: first year with the Packers. How big of a part

48
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: of the offense is he with them? He's huge. I mean,

49
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 1: he's that the security blanket, that that force over the middle,

50
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: which seems oversum outside fades because I mean he's a

51
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 1: big athletic guy, guy who can go up and obviously

52
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,799
Speaker 1: get the football, make tough catches as a big catch radius. Um,

53
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,519
Speaker 1: this is a guy who's another weapon for Um and

54
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:53,920
Speaker 1: Rodgers to have. So, like you said, UM, tafeties, linebackers

55
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: and maybe in some corners gonna be responsible for him.

56
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 1: At some point. We've got to make sure we're doing

57
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 1: a good job playing we could technique of fundamentals and

58
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: I being standing on him and make him make a

59
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 1: tough throwing catch and don't give him anything, Um, just

60
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 1: because we're not playing with good technique. John, going back

61
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: to what you're talking about with the defense, Uh, doing

62
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:17,079
Speaker 1: little things that to get better Uh, specifically in the secondary.

63
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: I know it's all linked. I know the pass rush

64
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: helps and all that and linebackers and whatnot. But in

65
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 1: that secondary, what what are these little things you're talking about? Uh? Leverage, UM,

66
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 1: playing with the paper leverage. Uh, that's a that's the

67
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 1: main thing, UM, just as a secondary player, UM I discipline,

68
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 1: UM being able to communicate UM uh throughout not even

69
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 1: like throughout the damn but throughout the play. UM for

70
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: the certain things where you might have to switch on

71
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 1: it on the go and you might have some communication

72
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: between UM two or three players when covering the offensive guide. UM.

73
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: Then I would say that's that's probably the main thing. Yeah,

74
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: that's that's that's for sure. The main things communication, leverage,

75
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: and good eye discipline. Now, a couple of years ago

76
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: the trade deadline, Jamie Collins was traded away, and last

77
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 1: year at the trade deadline, Jimmy Garoppolo was traded away.

78
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 1: Trade deadline was this week? Is that something you guys

79
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 1: even talk about? You know, maybe a new teammate would

80
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 1: be on the way in, or maybe somebody that you

81
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: were playing with could be on the way out. What

82
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 1: does that day like, Uh, it's it's it's it's a

83
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 1: little weird, I said earlier. I think like last week,

84
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 1: because you I mean, social media is so big. Everybody

85
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 1: here is mostly on social media. So you see the rumors. Um,

86
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 1: you see this, this, that, and other sources say this,

87
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,160
Speaker 1: sources say that, So I mean you see it. But

88
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: I mean we try to do our best to just

89
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,840
Speaker 1: worry about what we can worry about. And that's the

90
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: next game, the game that we had that week and

91
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 1: this week it's the the Green Bay Packers. We know

92
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 1: it's going to be a big test force. It's gonna

93
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,840
Speaker 1: be a big test force. It's gonna be electric atmosphere,

94
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 1: and we need everybody to be focused on playing their

95
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: best football so we can get a win. Sunday night, Duran,
