1 00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: Can you say about the way your defensive plays did. 2 00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:06,440 Speaker 1: I thought we did a lot of good things, got 3 00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:09,879 Speaker 1: after the quarterback, had a critical fourth down stop at 4 00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:13,040 Speaker 1: the end of the game. We played a good, complimentary game. 5 00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:16,279 Speaker 1: Had a couple of turnovers which hurt us, but the 6 00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:19,119 Speaker 1: guys were ready to play about the coaching staffs on 7 00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:22,079 Speaker 1: all three sides did a good job and made the 8 00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:23,640 Speaker 1: play as we needed to make. You know, was a 9 00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:26,480 Speaker 1: little bit closer than it needed to be. But this 10 00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:31,480 Speaker 1: is the case in the NFL, make make shit offensive line. 11 00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:34,760 Speaker 1: Talk about how he plays that. Yeah, well, I look 12 00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:38,600 Speaker 1: there there, they're pros, the guys that were out there tonight, 13 00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:41,839 Speaker 1: and they worked extremely hard during the week. You know, 14 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:44,080 Speaker 1: we were a couple of days of practice, we were 15 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:48,040 Speaker 1: moving guys around. You know, we settled on it, say Thursday, 16 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:52,280 Speaker 1: of how it was going to go. If Heavan couldn't 17 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:54,520 Speaker 1: go and if you could go, then we had another 18 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 1: kind of lineup change, if you would. But thought Bobby's 19 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:01,319 Speaker 1: met with those guys early and late. You know, he's 20 00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:09,360 Speaker 1: had a kind of revolving door there and tough competitors. 21 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,480 Speaker 2: With Keithan on the left. 22 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:13,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just something we help. Yeah, something we talked 23 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:15,880 Speaker 1: about as a coaching staff, and I think good communication 24 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:19,720 Speaker 1: was was better just having you know, Pew a veteran, 25 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 1: Breticine and Glow kind of opposite because they've worked together 26 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:27,399 Speaker 1: as well. So with tyree Beck, you know he's only 27 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 1: back for a week. Some code words and things like that. 28 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,040 Speaker 1: Even though he picked up i'd say almost all of 29 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:35,640 Speaker 1: it on the way back, it's still helpful to have 30 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:37,959 Speaker 1: someone right next to him that's that's been out there 31 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:41,959 Speaker 1: and done it veteran wise, you have a lot of 32 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:45,320 Speaker 1: faith in your veterans can miss the field goal chef 33 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 1: with the muff and say bomb with the bum. 34 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 2: Is anything different you say to your facts when they 35 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 2: have situations like that. 36 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, go out there and have full confidence in it. 37 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 1: The next time you step out on the field. His 38 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 1: first drives and the first half it's out. What allowed 39 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 1: you guys to finish this time with the red cell 40 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 1: made some good players thought Tyrod made a heck of 41 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 1: a play. Waller made a great adjustment on a route 42 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,520 Speaker 1: on that third down, and then I thought Tyrod did 43 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:14,840 Speaker 1: a great job with his feet. It's time in the 44 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 1: passing game to get that ball to Saquan on the checkdown. 45 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,960 Speaker 1: Tyrod had a good game, played well, took care of 46 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 1: the ball, made good decisions through the ball where we're 47 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:28,079 Speaker 1: supposed to be thrown. So again we left we left 48 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 1: stuff out there, There's no question about it. We left 49 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 1: stuff out on the field. We left points out on 50 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 1: the field. Like you said, the missfield goal, we fumbled 51 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 1: in the red zone. But you know, I'll take the result. 52 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 1: Were getting healthy. 53 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 2: It seems like some guys that be coming back in 54 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 2: next couple of days weeks. 55 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll see, of course. Yeah, better be healthy than not. 56 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 1: He was talking about me. But as Tyrod made any 57 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 1: argument for being a quarterback, but gets right. Yeah, just say, 58 00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 1: Tyrod had a good game this game. He's a true 59 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 1: and I'm glad we got him. How about Banks and 60 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,119 Speaker 1: the way he competes, It seems that it gets any 61 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:06,959 Speaker 1: when he has matched. 62 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:06,959 Speaker 2: Up with that. 63 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 1: I say, we have a lot of competitors. Again, it's 64 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 1: always better when you win. But he's yeah, no, it's 65 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 1: why they're here. That's why he's on his team is 66 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 1: to come out here and compete and do everything he 67 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,640 Speaker 1: can do to help the team win and put the 68 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 1: team first. So that's something that's important for all of 69 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 1: us is to put the team first, and he does that. 70 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:28,360 Speaker 2: Last week, you were in a. 71 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:32,080 Speaker 1: Locker room after a very close loss. Today you're in 72 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 1: a locker room after a very close winning. I mean, 73 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 1: how important moving forward is it to have these guys 74 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 1: have something positive that they can use. I'll just say 75 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 1: it's important to prepare well, do everything you can do 76 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 1: lead up to the game, and try to go out 77 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 1: there and put your best performance on the field. It 78 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 1: doesn't always happen. It's you know, I've said this before, 79 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 1: it's an up and down league. It's a humbling league. 80 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 1: But to stay consistent with your approach even though he 81 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 1: makes slight adjustments and your belief in the players. You know, 82 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 1: it's not for everybody. You've got to be able to 83 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 1: do that. It's not going to be perfect all the time, 84 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 1: and there's definitely going to be some struggles. And again, 85 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 1: one week has nothing to do with the next week. 86 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,599 Speaker 1: So whether we lost the close game to the Bills 87 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 1: or we won this close game tonight, you know, it 88 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 1: really has no bearing on what we do next week. 89 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 1: To keep a consistent attitude to work with great intention, 90 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 1: that's what's important to get ready for a game that's 91 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,919 Speaker 1: going to be difficult every week, regardless of who you play, 92 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 1: and focus on your job and putting the team first. 93 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 1: And you know that's again it's not always easy, but 94 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,280 Speaker 1: that's what the job requires. 95 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:48,279 Speaker 2: When you talk about staying with the approach, Yeah, when 96 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,279 Speaker 2: you're losing, just going through a losing streak as a coach, 97 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,680 Speaker 2: is it a test to stay with the process or 98 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 2: you know you're kind of maybe second guess that you 99 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 2: need to make a change. 100 00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think Russ, I think it's a great question. 101 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 1: I think you do that every week. Obviously when you win, 102 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 1: it's a little easier to hear. But you're always trying 103 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 1: to tink your things, you know, practice schedules, how you 104 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:14,480 Speaker 1: meet training injury stuff. You're doing everything you can do 105 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,480 Speaker 1: each and every week to try to put the best 106 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 1: product on the field. And you know you can't be 107 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 1: influenced by losses. And that's tough because no one goes 108 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 1: out there to try to lose a game ever in 109 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,040 Speaker 1: this league. You do everything you can to try to 110 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,480 Speaker 1: put your best performance on the field. So to stay 111 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 1: steady in your approach, although it's not the same exact 112 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 1: thing rush you're always changing things, whether it's a lineup change, 113 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,599 Speaker 1: whether it's a different personnel group, whether it's a timing 114 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 1: of the schedule, whatever it may be. You're always doing that, 115 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 1: whether you win or whether you lose. But to have 116 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:51,239 Speaker 1: a you know, a real positive approach, that's not always 117 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,240 Speaker 1: the easiest thing to do, but that's that's what the 118 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 1: job entels. 119 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 2: What's the issue with guys who aren't putting the team first? 120 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 1: You've mentioned that. No, none, there's no issue. We got 121 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:03,359 Speaker 1: We got a bunch of guys that put the team first. 122 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 1: I just that's very important to us as a program 123 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 1: in your No, not at all. No, No, we have Uh, 124 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 1: I'm proud of the guys. 125 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:12,360 Speaker 2: Uh. 126 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, there's nothing. There's nothing like that. No, yeah, you 127 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 1: miss read one more time. Hi. Yeah, made a couple 128 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 1: of good plays. Yeah, no, he he you know he's again. 129 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 1: I told you we're going to play him, and he 130 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 1: made some plays. He's still got stuff to learn, but 131 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:30,360 Speaker 1: the way to learn it is to go out there 132 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 1: and play. So he made it. You know, he made 133 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 1: a couple good ones. I thought, Tyrod, you know, gave 134 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 1: him some good chances to make him to success. Getting 135 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:41,040 Speaker 1: the ball down feel like this, Oh he's taking his 136 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 1: drop drop back and seeing one on one coverage and 137 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:44,920 Speaker 1: let it go, and the and the receivers have made 138 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,360 Speaker 1: good plays. So it's all tied together Dan, whether it's 139 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 1: you know, it's not just one person or one position. 140 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,920 Speaker 1: It never is. On offense, it takes it takes all eleven. 141 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 1: It's uh, you know, you can't have one guy or 142 00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,280 Speaker 1: two guys on offense. When you usually have a guy 143 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,359 Speaker 1: mess up, it's usually not very good for the offense 144 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,679 Speaker 1: where you can't make it up. It's just all assignment football. 145 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 1: And he's done a good job with it. That first 146 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 1: touch in by Waller. 147 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 2: Obviously, you guys have got in a while without scoring 148 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 2: a touchdown. 149 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 1: For the morale of that group, and there be the 150 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 1: first one that asked that that was great? Yeah, I 151 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 1: was happy. Do you think it was important though, like 152 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 1: for the morale and that for the confidence? Absolutely? How 153 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 1: does it feel deliver win at home in front of 154 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 1: these fans that haven't gone to see maybe your best 155 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 1: performances yet? Yeah? Well they were great and they have 156 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 1: been great, and you know, we haven't given them a 157 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 1: lot to celebrate about. So they were allowed. You know 158 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 1: that fourth on play. Uh, they were loud and again 159 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 1: I've encountered a lot of of of great ones, and 160 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 1: you know, our job is to provide a good product, 161 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 1: and certainly we left things out on the field today. 162 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 1: So it wasn't it wasn't perfect. It was a good 163 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 1: team win. There's a lot of guys that worked hard 164 00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 1: to contribute, and I'd say the fans were a huge 165 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 1: part of it, and I certainly appreciate them. And have 166 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 1: any x rays or scants on, I don't know yet, Pat, 167 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 1: I don't know anything about injuries right now. I don't 168 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 1: talk to anybody. Just point in the season, are you 169 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 1: certain that you're gonna the defense is gonna go out 170 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 1: every week and give you a chance to win. I 171 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 1: don't think there's any certainty in the season ever, no 172 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 1: matter when it is, uh, you got to put the 173 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 1: work in. You got to go out there and perform well. 174 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 1: So that's you know, that's what it comes down to 175 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 1: every week. I know it's a born answer, but that's 176 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:33,320 Speaker 1: the truth question. How did you feel when Leonard Williams 177 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 1: made that blocked field both? I felt great, it was 178 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:43,080 Speaker 1: great with Daniel lift at a questionable and then obviously 179 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 1: he didn't play. 180 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 2: It was there like a final check yesterday and needing contact. 181 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 1: He got looked at. He was it was Friday. I 182 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 1: told you, guys, so didn't get cleared on Friday, so 183 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,599 Speaker 1: it wasn't able to to go going forward here for 184 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 1: this weekend. I have a lot of meetings tomorrow about it. 185 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 1: I'm sure in the next day and the next day, 186 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 1: but I don't have an answer for you. You feel 187 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 1: better about the chances now moving forward, Like did you 188 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,840 Speaker 1: get good? I would be telling you something that's probably 189 00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,520 Speaker 1: an inaccurate statement, So I'll wait until I hear from 190 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 1: the people that know a lot more about it than 191 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 1: I do, relative to his status or what it looked 192 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 1: like in all those things. You're seeing more consistent play 193 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,080 Speaker 1: from your defense over the last two three weeks. Yeah, 194 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 1: and there's there's certainly been things that we've improved on 195 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 1: in every area as a team. You know, today, ball 196 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 1: security was a problem for us, but you know we 197 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 1: got the ball again. I think you know we're making 198 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 1: We're making small strides in different areas, and the guys 199 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:45,960 Speaker 1: are are working with a great attitude and great intention. 200 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,360 Speaker 1: But we have you know, we've still got a ton 201 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,280 Speaker 1: to clean up from this game, but I appreciate their 202 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:56,440 Speaker 1: approach and their mindset of how they go about their 203 00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:57,960 Speaker 1: business on a daily basis.
