WEBVTT - Coordinators: Ravens Practice 9/28 Press Conferences 0:00:02.920 --> 0:00:05.960 Welcome into Ravens Press Pass. Today we'll hear from offensive 0:00:06.000 --> 0:00:10.200 coordinator Todd Munkin, defensive coordinator Mike McDonald, and special teams 0:00:10.200 --> 0:00:11.280 coordinator Chris Horton. 0:00:11.520 --> 0:00:12.600 Let's start with Monk. 0:00:15.040 --> 0:00:16.880 Going against the Cleveland defense. 0:00:16.920 --> 0:00:19.520 Obviously, you see the numbers are all up there, But 0:00:19.600 --> 0:00:21.360 what stands out to you when you're looking out there? 0:00:21.480 --> 0:00:23.640 I guess kind of what the challenge is? 0:00:23.640 --> 0:00:24.320 Acre. 0:00:24.440 --> 0:00:27.000 No, First of all, it is a great challenge playing there. 0:00:27.160 --> 0:00:30.800 That's number one. They do a great job of challenging 0:00:30.880 --> 0:00:37.120 you schematically in all areas as you get ready in 0:00:37.159 --> 0:00:39.639 terms of your game plan, they challenge you, and they 0:00:39.680 --> 0:00:44.000 do it with tremendous players. But it's one thing to 0:00:44.000 --> 0:00:46.599 have tremendous players and the way they play, I mean 0:00:46.600 --> 0:00:50.240 they play hardy. So it's gonna be a great challenge 0:00:50.280 --> 0:00:51.680 for us and we're excited to go. 0:00:55.000 --> 0:00:56.760 How what does it mean you to go back to 0:00:56.800 --> 0:00:58.360 Cleveland giving your history there? 0:00:58.800 --> 0:01:03.000 Oh, I don't no, you know, that was four years ago. 0:01:03.080 --> 0:01:07.080 Basically in some ways I wish I would have done 0:01:07.080 --> 0:01:09.000 it better. You know, there's there's some of that that. 0:01:09.720 --> 0:01:14.840 The hasms were great, j W. Paul front office was great. 0:01:16.360 --> 0:01:17.920 We just didn't do it well enough. I didn't do 0:01:17.959 --> 0:01:20.680 it well enough, so that part of it. But I'm 0:01:20.720 --> 0:01:23.240 excited to go back. I'm a raven and that was 0:01:23.240 --> 0:01:23.920 four years ago. 0:01:25.600 --> 0:01:28.480 Is there any It's kind of dumb way to put it, 0:01:28.520 --> 0:01:31.920 but put extra motivation in that regard because you know 0:01:31.959 --> 0:01:35.120 it didn't really go when you wanted to vote. 0:01:35.600 --> 0:01:38.240 No, there's no motivation is to play better on offense 0:01:38.840 --> 0:01:41.480 and to execute at a higher level and stack plays. 0:01:42.760 --> 0:01:46.319 You know you can't go score fumble and then you 0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:48.640 go four straight possessions putting the ball in the ground. 0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:51.800 I mean, that's that's what motivates me. It's not you know, 0:01:52.120 --> 0:01:55.760 it's not going back to Cleveland. It's the product we 0:01:55.840 --> 0:01:59.480 put on the field consistently, starting with me how I 0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:03.000 do it, and then our players taking the plan to 0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:05.560 the practice and then to the field because we've seen 0:02:05.640 --> 0:02:07.680 what it looks like, so now we've just got to 0:02:07.720 --> 0:02:09.520 continue to improve that. That's the motivation. 0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:14.080 Lamar is fumbled ball four times three, I mean, hasn't 0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:14.720 lost everything. 0:02:14.760 --> 0:02:17.320 One of the ways fumble four times? Is that a concern? 0:02:17.400 --> 0:02:18.840 Is that something you have to address with them? 0:02:19.200 --> 0:02:22.280 Sure, it's always it doesn't matter whether it's Lamar or 0:02:22.320 --> 0:02:25.360 any quarterback in terms of their ball security in the pocket, 0:02:25.400 --> 0:02:29.919 outside the pocket, and you know it's coming. The more 0:02:29.919 --> 0:02:32.160 it ends up on the ground, I mean, it's there's 0:02:32.160 --> 0:02:35.079 no question there's showing that to their defensive players. So 0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:37.440 it's a point of emphasisis week of all of our players. 0:02:37.480 --> 0:02:39.239 We can't can't turn the ball over, can't put it 0:02:39.320 --> 0:02:41.440 on the ground. It puts us puts us all at risk. 0:02:42.320 --> 0:02:44.480 He didn't end up throwing down field very much against 0:02:44.480 --> 0:02:46.440 the ball over What happened to sort of makes that 0:02:46.480 --> 0:02:46.799 the case. 0:02:48.200 --> 0:02:49.560 Some of it was, you know, early in the game 0:02:49.600 --> 0:02:51.840 we did the first two drives, we hit you know, 0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:54.959 seam throws or a pocket throw to get it, and 0:02:55.280 --> 0:02:57.560 we had another opportunity late late in the game. But 0:02:58.080 --> 0:03:00.399 some of it we were trying to get the ball out. 0:03:00.440 --> 0:03:03.120 There was a situational part. There was others we did 0:03:03.160 --> 0:03:05.520 have opportunities or we were trying to get it down 0:03:05.560 --> 0:03:07.600 the field and we just didn't end up getting to 0:03:07.639 --> 0:03:11.080 it either by protection route, and some of it was 0:03:11.120 --> 0:03:13.160 by design that we were trying to stay a little 0:03:13.160 --> 0:03:14.639 bit ahead of the head of the chains. 0:03:15.720 --> 0:03:18.239 Did they do something different to take away than the 0:03:18.400 --> 0:03:19.800 run and over time Lamar and. 0:03:19.800 --> 0:03:20.760 Money said. 0:03:22.639 --> 0:03:24.760 Some of it. They did. They got some bigger people 0:03:24.760 --> 0:03:27.400 out there that that made it a little more difficult. 0:03:28.200 --> 0:03:30.280 Got to do a better job of scheming it and 0:03:30.360 --> 0:03:34.920 calling it, that's for sure at the end. But no, 0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:36.960 we certainly and there's part of it that we didn't 0:03:36.960 --> 0:03:39.000 execute well enough. So it's all the above, but it 0:03:39.040 --> 0:03:42.120 starts with me and how we do it and having 0:03:42.120 --> 0:03:44.800 a much better plan and giving us a chance to 0:03:44.840 --> 0:03:46.800 execute at a much higher level. 0:03:47.480 --> 0:03:49.680 What is the message to the offense this week? 0:03:49.720 --> 0:03:51.200 You know some of the three is. 0:03:51.160 --> 0:03:53.840 A new offensive system. After a game like that, do 0:03:53.840 --> 0:03:55.560 you kind of say, all right, you know we're still 0:03:55.720 --> 0:03:57.760 we're still in the early stages of growing, or how 0:03:57.760 --> 0:03:58.680 do you kind of talk to. 0:03:58.680 --> 0:03:59.120 Them about that? 0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:04.600 All the above. You don't want to overreact, but you 0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:07.119 don't want to just scrub it under the rug because 0:04:07.120 --> 0:04:08.360 it was just a week ago. We went to the 0:04:08.360 --> 0:04:11.000 Bengals and played really, really well and function at a 0:04:11.000 --> 0:04:13.600 really high level on the road. So we have it 0:04:13.640 --> 0:04:18.400 in us, So how do we carry that week to week? 0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:22.600 How do we install it, game plan it the right 0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:26.400 way so our guys understand what to expect and when 0:04:27.800 --> 0:04:29.880 we get there, or we get those opportunities, we have 0:04:29.880 --> 0:04:32.479 a chance to execute a high level. That's really what 0:04:32.600 --> 0:04:36.320 it is. At times, we have too much drag. Too 0:04:36.360 --> 0:04:38.720 much starts with me. I mean, I'm in charge of it. 0:04:39.000 --> 0:04:41.159 We have too much drag, you know. And there's a 0:04:41.160 --> 0:04:43.240 lot of reasons why that is that it really doesn't 0:04:43.279 --> 0:04:45.080 make it. You got to clean it up and get 0:04:45.080 --> 0:04:48.400 better at it and take it to the field. Because, 0:04:48.440 --> 0:04:50.320 like I said, we've two weeks in a row. We've 0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:52.719 taken the opening drive and gone down and scored, and 0:04:52.760 --> 0:04:55.520 then it carried over the Bengals and then you know, 0:04:55.680 --> 0:04:57.880 it didn't you know, we had certainly an opportunity on 0:04:57.880 --> 0:05:01.320 that second drive, and then we just sputtered. Then we 0:05:01.440 --> 0:05:03.760 just never got that mojo back. And got to find 0:05:03.760 --> 0:05:05.800 a way to get that. Got to call it better, 0:05:05.960 --> 0:05:08.279 got to execute better. That's that's the way it works. 0:05:09.080 --> 0:05:09.680 What are some of the. 0:05:09.880 --> 0:05:13.560 Rod strokes ways of contending with the Browns defense. I 0:05:13.680 --> 0:05:16.080 know that they're aggressive, They've talked about how they really 0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:20.080 want to make Jackson uncomfortable. What are some strokes ways 0:05:20.080 --> 0:05:22.200 of you know, going against that defense. 0:05:22.320 --> 0:05:23.479 Maybe, well, first off, it. 0:05:26.040 --> 0:05:26.440 Their goal. 0:05:26.440 --> 0:05:29.440 They're trying to make every quarterback uncomfortable. Like every defense is. 0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:30.840 I mean that the idea is if you make the 0:05:30.920 --> 0:05:35.360 quarterback uncomfortable, then it's difficult for them to operate. So 0:05:36.200 --> 0:05:38.080 I understand that part of it. Our job is to 0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:40.160 try and make it where he's not uncomfortable. It's really 0:05:40.160 --> 0:05:42.640 actually pretty simple in football. They're trying to make your 0:05:42.680 --> 0:05:45.880 quarterback uncomfortable. We're trying to make him really comfortable, and 0:05:45.920 --> 0:05:49.239 then we'll see, you know, that's really that's really the 0:05:49.240 --> 0:05:51.200 the chess match. They're really you know what I'm saying, 0:05:51.440 --> 0:05:52.920 And we got really good players, and they got really 0:05:52.960 --> 0:05:58.680 good players, so let's go to just play hard. You know. 0:05:58.720 --> 0:06:01.800 I just I just think they uh, you know, I 0:06:01.839 --> 0:06:04.160 think they've done a nice job of their acquisitions in 0:06:04.200 --> 0:06:09.360 the offseason, bolstering their defense, obviously bringing in you know, Jim, 0:06:09.360 --> 0:06:11.919 and they're bringing the new defensive scheme. It's got a 0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:14.880 new excitement and new enthusiasm, and then when it gets 0:06:14.920 --> 0:06:19.520 backed up in games, it even just raises another levels. 0:06:19.600 --> 0:06:21.320 That makes sense, Like you know, all of a sudden, 0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:24.359 that confidence level just continues to raise as there's a 0:06:24.400 --> 0:06:29.279 belief system, then it gets you know, translated onto the field, 0:06:29.400 --> 0:06:31.760 so then it just raises like Okay, this is what 0:06:31.800 --> 0:06:34.760 it looks like. So that's our job to uh, to 0:06:34.839 --> 0:06:36.920 do everything in our power to not to not to 0:06:36.960 --> 0:06:38.400 not have that happen come a Sunday. 0:06:38.520 --> 0:06:40.680 How much part is it to put the focus that 0:06:40.760 --> 0:06:43.279 you want to on Lucky Garrett and you know they 0:06:43.320 --> 0:06:44.280 have Zivarius on the. 0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:47.440 Other on sure, well they've got they've got good players. 0:06:47.480 --> 0:06:49.320 So it's and it's not even just him. I mean 0:06:49.320 --> 0:06:52.000 they're very active at blindbacker. I mean they like to 0:06:52.000 --> 0:06:55.120 bring delp it, you know, they they bring multiple players, 0:06:55.560 --> 0:07:00.279 they get edgy, they make you defend you know, a 0:07:00.400 --> 0:07:04.359 number of players, number of coverages, schemes. Uh, just in 0:07:04.480 --> 0:07:07.760 terms of just making sure your sound And to me, 0:07:07.839 --> 0:07:09.840 the biggest thing is how do you stay out of 0:07:09.880 --> 0:07:12.120 those long, long yarded situations? How do you stay out 0:07:12.120 --> 0:07:14.080 of the chains? And when you get opportunities to be 0:07:14.080 --> 0:07:16.640 able to make plays down the field? That's that But 0:07:16.680 --> 0:07:18.600 that's not just them, that's everybody. How do you stay 0:07:18.600 --> 0:07:20.200 out of chains? And yet how can you still be 0:07:20.280 --> 0:07:23.600 explosive to give yourself a chance? And that that's the 0:07:23.680 --> 0:07:25.200 challenge playing a good defense. 0:07:25.840 --> 0:07:27.760 I know it's probably different for every receiver. 0:07:27.880 --> 0:07:29.160 Vote what do you want them? 0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:31.520 I guess how do you want them to improve im more? 0:07:31.680 --> 0:07:34.200 They can Tellibless coming and you know Oamar might not 0:07:34.200 --> 0:07:36.160 be able to get to the end of his drop 0:07:36.200 --> 0:07:37.160 before he's got to kind of. 0:07:37.160 --> 0:07:37.640 Get rid of that. 0:07:38.120 --> 0:07:41.239 Sure, we did an outstanding job at Cincinnati in terms 0:07:41.280 --> 0:07:43.680 of when they did come, you know, in terms of 0:07:43.800 --> 0:07:48.240 our recognition, and some of it was still good on Sunday. Uh, 0:07:48.360 --> 0:07:50.680 we just weren't as clean. We weren't as clean in 0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:54.160 some of the protections something to do with them. We 0:07:54.160 --> 0:07:56.840 weren't as clean in terms of our routes. We weren't 0:07:56.840 --> 0:07:59.000 clean in a lot of areas in terms of the calls. 0:07:59.000 --> 0:08:00.600 I mean, it's it's all all of us. I mean, 0:08:00.640 --> 0:08:04.560 at the end of the day, you own it. We 0:08:04.720 --> 0:08:09.920 got offensively okay, we got to coach better, we got 0:08:09.960 --> 0:08:13.160 to attack the week better, and we got to execute better. 0:08:13.200 --> 0:08:14.240 It's really that simple. 0:08:14.480 --> 0:08:17.240 You know, how difficult is it to keep with a 0:08:17.280 --> 0:08:20.480 game play, especially passing what you want to do when 0:08:20.520 --> 0:08:23.200 you might be without two of your top receivers. 0:08:23.400 --> 0:08:26.440 Well, I mean, first off, that's why Nelson Aguilar is here. 0:08:26.880 --> 0:08:28.960 You know as a player, Devin Duvernet has made plenty 0:08:29.000 --> 0:08:31.200 of player in the past, and and Zay is a 0:08:31.200 --> 0:08:33.680 fantastic rookie, you know, only going to get better. So 0:08:34.080 --> 0:08:36.679 Mark Andrews, I think for the first time and three 0:08:36.720 --> 0:08:39.439 or four weeks is feeling you know better. I mean, 0:08:39.840 --> 0:08:42.280 I think he's moving better. I mean really, this is 0:08:42.320 --> 0:08:45.320 the first week I've seen, you know, in probably four 0:08:45.360 --> 0:08:47.080 or five that I feel like he's at full speed, 0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:49.199 you know, So that that's a positive. That's a plus 0:08:49.240 --> 0:08:51.680 going in this week and every week that we're together. 0:08:52.280 --> 0:08:54.439 I really believe we're going to continue to do it better. 0:08:54.640 --> 0:08:55.360 And what we'll. 0:08:55.160 --> 0:09:03.719 See next up defensive coordinat Mike McDonald after us, you 0:09:03.840 --> 0:09:07.240 see them changing a lot from a run scheme standpoint 0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:09.760 without him or or he's just kind of plug and play. 0:09:11.080 --> 0:09:13.560 Probably more of the latter, just you know, small sample 0:09:13.600 --> 0:09:16.320 size with the one game, but yeah, sticking to the 0:09:16.360 --> 0:09:20.200 sticking to their normal plan. Very potent run game, you know, 0:09:20.720 --> 0:09:22.320 best some of the best in the league. So we 0:09:22.360 --> 0:09:25.959 expect the same. Like we obviously saw a vision. 0:09:27.880 --> 0:09:30.520 I say, how would you use this past week if 0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:34.720 you fabled is his versatility and other keep spreads and stuff. 0:09:34.720 --> 0:09:37.400 It's good how he fagel with him and where he 0:09:37.520 --> 0:09:41.000 plays and you need all that, uh, Yeah, Yeah, I'd 0:09:41.040 --> 0:09:44.679 say that's that's a fair assessment. Again, we talked to 0:09:44.720 --> 0:09:48.520 his versatility for forever now it seems like but definitely 0:09:48.600 --> 0:09:50.400 allows you to have that flexibility on a week to 0:09:50.440 --> 0:09:52.880 week basis on how much. I don't think the plan 0:09:53.000 --> 0:09:54.240 was to put him there the whole time, you know, 0:09:54.400 --> 0:09:57.800 just and you see how games go so and then 0:09:57.840 --> 0:09:59.880 where we're at personnel wise as well, you know that 0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:02.199 will be driving those decisions from from a week to 0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:04.119 week and then throughout a game. 0:10:03.880 --> 0:10:07.720 Basis like a seamless or as compress that you mean 0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:11.160 by their Orley's translation from cornerback to safety and be 0:10:11.200 --> 0:10:13.560 able to basically get every down defender for you guys 0:10:13.559 --> 0:10:14.000 on Sunday. 0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:19.079 Yeah, that's a great point. Really, Seamless, I guess is 0:10:19.120 --> 0:10:21.120 a great way to explain it. You know, throughout the 0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:24.000 spring and the off season, it felt like a season 0:10:24.120 --> 0:10:26.680 vet back there and understanding kind of the eye progression 0:10:26.840 --> 0:10:28.960 and they overlap and the things are trying to create 0:10:29.080 --> 0:10:31.640 in the secondary. Just had a great feel for it 0:10:31.679 --> 0:10:33.760 from the get go. So seamless is a good way 0:10:33.800 --> 0:10:34.360 to describe it. 0:10:34.520 --> 0:10:36.240 When you have a guy like him at or moon 0:10:36.360 --> 0:10:38.840 play that many steps in the game how do you approach. 0:10:38.559 --> 0:10:42.640 This week just in terms of workload or making sure 0:10:42.679 --> 0:10:43.280 they don't get. 0:10:43.120 --> 0:10:43.520 Tired of it. 0:10:44.960 --> 0:10:47.720 Yeah, you know you don't want anybody playing one hundred snaps, 0:10:48.320 --> 0:10:50.800 but obviously the game unfolded a certain way, and you 0:10:50.840 --> 0:10:52.120 know you gotta do what you got to do to 0:10:52.120 --> 0:10:53.959 try to win the game. But you know it's a 0:10:54.000 --> 0:10:56.559 tough league going back and seven days later and sometimes 0:10:56.679 --> 0:10:58.200 you know, three or four days later having to play 0:10:58.200 --> 0:11:01.240 a game. So these guys are rows. Harves is a 0:11:01.280 --> 0:11:03.080 great job setting the schedule up, and we have a 0:11:03.080 --> 0:11:05.240 bunch of recovery things that guys are taking advantage of. 0:11:05.280 --> 0:11:08.160 Everyone has their own, uh individual kind of plan on 0:11:08.200 --> 0:11:10.240 a week to week basis. But those guys who are 0:11:10.240 --> 0:11:11.920 talking in their little sore but they'll they said, they'll 0:11:11.920 --> 0:11:12.440 be ready to go. 0:11:12.840 --> 0:11:15.480 You're blitzeeing at a higher percentage than you were last year. 0:11:15.559 --> 0:11:17.880 Is that is that driven by the fact that you're 0:11:17.920 --> 0:11:19.280 missing a lot of guys on the edge? Is it 0:11:19.360 --> 0:11:21.120 more about sort of the matchups your face so far 0:11:21.160 --> 0:11:22.560 and what's what's pushing that right now? 0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:25.720 Well, it's something that we want the ability to do 0:11:25.800 --> 0:11:29.640 at any given point. So you're you're to have the 0:11:29.679 --> 0:11:32.000 threat of of blitz on either side or up the 0:11:32.040 --> 0:11:35.560 mill or double edge or whatever. You're always want that 0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:38.840 threat to an offense. So, uh, that's just part of 0:11:38.840 --> 0:11:40.920 our identity. I think you might not have seen it 0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:44.960 last year for several reasons, you know, probably what we 0:11:45.000 --> 0:11:47.000 felt like our team strengths were and how how good 0:11:47.040 --> 0:11:50.319 we were it the different you know, you know, kind 0:11:50.360 --> 0:11:52.520 of pressure packages that they were able to get to. 0:11:52.640 --> 0:11:55.760 So I think it's more probably it's probably a it's 0:11:55.760 --> 0:11:57.480 still a game plan idea, but it's something that you 0:11:57.520 --> 0:12:00.040 know we're definitely gonna carry and have the ability to 0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:01.160 get to at any point in time. 0:12:01.840 --> 0:12:05.240 Like watching the Browns, did you see a clear difference 0:12:05.960 --> 0:12:08.600 with Watson and so comfortably he was in his play 0:12:08.840 --> 0:12:10.720 last week than you have thrown them when you're watching 0:12:10.720 --> 0:12:14.520 in the first two games. 0:12:14.800 --> 0:12:17.560 It's tough to tough to gauge is comfort level? Uh, 0:12:17.600 --> 0:12:20.840 definitely the effectiveness and the efficiency see of the offense. 0:12:21.240 --> 0:12:23.280 You know, you can obviously go by the stats and 0:12:23.320 --> 0:12:25.959 the score and things like that, but I feel like 0:12:26.000 --> 0:12:27.760 they're finding their stride and I don't know who they 0:12:27.800 --> 0:12:33.439 want to be. You can definitely have definitely for sure, like. 0:12:32.960 --> 0:12:35.200 What impressed to you about how they use samar Cooper 0:12:35.360 --> 0:12:37.319 kind of hunting your match up. Just his ability to 0:12:37.520 --> 0:12:38.840 the line up anywhere and be successful. 0:12:39.280 --> 0:12:41.040 Yeah, they do a great job. It's u you don't 0:12:41.040 --> 0:12:44.760 see that a lot of receivers playing all those different 0:12:44.800 --> 0:12:46.840 types of positions and they find different ways on a 0:12:46.880 --> 0:12:48.960 week to week basis to scheme them open to your point, 0:12:49.720 --> 0:12:51.839 and uh, you know it's it's it's credit to him, 0:12:51.840 --> 0:12:53.560 you know, it's probably not It's not easy to be 0:12:53.600 --> 0:12:56.160 a receiver and learn all three spots, sometimes four spots 0:12:56.520 --> 0:12:58.840 and learn the whole route treet from there. So definitely 0:12:58.880 --> 0:13:00.640 a dynamic player that we're have to account for and 0:13:00.679 --> 0:13:03.120 understand where he's at at all times. 0:13:03.240 --> 0:13:05.800 Intangibles that some of these guys bring in Patrick Queen 0:13:06.200 --> 0:13:08.840 and we saw him, you know, take responsibility for loss 0:13:08.960 --> 0:13:10.600 or say after this game, what if you or after 0:13:10.600 --> 0:13:12.480 this last game, what have you seen from him in 0:13:12.480 --> 0:13:15.000 that aspect of personality? Why is getting more comfortable to 0:13:15.040 --> 0:13:16.040 being a leader. 0:13:16.640 --> 0:13:22.360 Come out just with p Q. It's it's the p 0:13:22.520 --> 0:13:24.959 Q that that that we know and love. I mean, 0:13:25.400 --> 0:13:27.480 it's nothing different that we expected. It's nothing out of 0:13:27.520 --> 0:13:30.320 the ordinary from him. It's to me, it's uh, the 0:13:30.400 --> 0:13:32.360 guy that that we know, you know, on a day 0:13:32.360 --> 0:13:34.560 to day basis, and i'd speak to the whole defense 0:13:35.040 --> 0:13:37.400 and team rather, you know, the the mentality and the 0:13:37.440 --> 0:13:39.400 things and the discussions that we had after the game. 0:13:41.480 --> 0:13:43.280 Not that you're proud to hear it, but it's it's uh, 0:13:43.400 --> 0:13:46.079 it's it's reflective of the character of of the guys 0:13:46.080 --> 0:13:50.240 we have on the team. Everyone's looking inwardly. We're humble 0:13:50.280 --> 0:13:51.960 and hungry enough to look for things that we can 0:13:52.000 --> 0:13:54.880 do differently on individual basis and eventually make our team better, 0:13:55.280 --> 0:13:56.760 you know, to take the next step and become the 0:13:56.760 --> 0:13:58.360 team you want to be over the course of the year. 0:13:58.880 --> 0:14:00.920 You know, it's or three games in going into a 0:14:00.920 --> 0:14:03.480 fourth game. We got hopefully a bunch more after this, 0:14:04.320 --> 0:14:06.920 and uh, really, I think that attitude is reflective. You know, 0:14:06.960 --> 0:14:08.319 throughout the locker room. 0:14:08.440 --> 0:14:10.960 Their their defense has obviously been tremendous so far. Is 0:14:10.960 --> 0:14:12.839 that something that you pay attention to it all? Or 0:14:12.960 --> 0:14:15.679 does it still at any competitive aspect in your players you think? 0:14:15.760 --> 0:14:17.000 Or is it you don't play. 0:14:16.760 --> 0:14:19.360 Them, So it's not really on the rate, you know, 0:14:19.520 --> 0:14:21.880 our focus is really just how good can we how 0:14:21.960 --> 0:14:23.640 good can we be as our as our defense and 0:14:23.800 --> 0:14:25.880 what we can do to win the game. Obviously, they 0:14:25.960 --> 0:14:28.440 got great stats right now, so I got to give 0:14:28.480 --> 0:14:31.440 credit where credits due, but we got we have enough 0:14:31.440 --> 0:14:32.640 to worry on our side of the ball. 0:14:33.400 --> 0:14:36.080 As far as what do you want to kind of 0:14:36.520 --> 0:14:39.680 improve upon. I know the Colts did run thirty sometimes 0:14:39.720 --> 0:14:40.840 that can get those yards. 0:14:40.840 --> 0:14:42.280 But as far as the. 0:14:42.200 --> 0:14:44.360 Defense, what do you want to see improvement in that aspect? 0:14:44.720 --> 0:14:46.840 Well, to your point, there was definitely a standard here 0:14:46.840 --> 0:14:48.960 in the run defense. And you know you can't give 0:14:49.040 --> 0:14:51.400 up four explosive runs. I mean, that's just the fact 0:14:51.400 --> 0:14:53.880 of the matter. Different there's really a couple of them. 0:14:53.880 --> 0:14:57.840 We lost the edge on on two on two runs 0:14:57.920 --> 0:14:59.880 on the twenty four yards and then we can play 0:14:59.880 --> 0:15:02.840 the interior runs better. On the stretch cutback and the 0:15:03.120 --> 0:15:05.360 split flow play, we just need to play that play better. 0:15:05.440 --> 0:15:07.200 And we missed a tackle on that one as well. 0:15:07.280 --> 0:15:11.000 So we've talked about those plays. Uh, the guys, it's 0:15:11.080 --> 0:15:13.320 very clear on what happened those plays and who's responsible 0:15:13.320 --> 0:15:15.320 for it. We'll leave that in house and we just 0:15:15.400 --> 0:15:17.960 keep attacking it, you know. And uh, this is definitely 0:15:18.000 --> 0:15:19.720 a challenging run game that you know that brings to 0:15:19.760 --> 0:15:21.840 the table. So it's all hands on deck this week, 0:15:21.880 --> 0:15:25.920 as you know, as with every week. 0:15:24.400 --> 0:15:32.520 About calling him, what's up the progress and especially at. 0:15:26.840 --> 0:15:29.080 The crack right. 0:15:31.160 --> 0:15:32.720 Well, he had a he had a he had a 0:15:32.760 --> 0:15:35.160 great game and was able to get the ball off 0:15:35.160 --> 0:15:37.320 the quarterback the one time that you know, probably could 0:15:37.320 --> 0:15:40.040 have changed the game there at the end of the half. Uh. 0:15:40.480 --> 0:15:42.640 But it's it's uh, I'm not surprised. It's what we 0:15:42.680 --> 0:15:44.440 expect from Kyle. You know, he's a guy that we're 0:15:44.440 --> 0:15:46.600 gonna move around and we expect, you know, to influence 0:15:46.640 --> 0:15:50.280 the game from multiple positions, and the expectations is to 0:15:50.320 --> 0:15:52.000 do it on a weekly basis. I mean, he's that type. 0:15:52.040 --> 0:15:56.040 He's that type of player. So moving forward, just keeping 0:15:56.160 --> 0:15:58.080 him you know, don't don't reach for plays. Let the 0:15:58.080 --> 0:15:59.480 plays come to you. But you know, play with the 0:15:59.520 --> 0:16:01.040 effort that he playing with, just like the rest of 0:16:01.040 --> 0:16:03.960 the defense, and keep attacking the ball so we can 0:16:04.040 --> 0:16:05.640 we can take it away and give it back to 0:16:05.720 --> 0:16:06.200 our offense. 0:16:07.160 --> 0:16:11.920 You need to see and what you convince you that hips. 0:16:11.680 --> 0:16:15.280 That day you're ready to play, well, well, I can 0:16:15.280 --> 0:16:17.280 tell you this, he's an impressive guy. I mean from 0:16:17.280 --> 0:16:19.960 the day that we came into to visit and just 0:16:20.000 --> 0:16:21.760 getting to know him and talk to him about ball, 0:16:21.840 --> 0:16:24.920 and he's already got third down thoughts and stuff like that. Uh, 0:16:25.120 --> 0:16:26.880 but it seems like he's been in this defense for 0:16:27.680 --> 0:16:30.080 you know, however long. But it's a he's impressive, similar 0:16:30.160 --> 0:16:32.520 like when Rocon showed up, You're just like, okay's this dude. 0:16:32.720 --> 0:16:35.120 He knows his stuff. So he's an impressive guy away around. 0:16:35.160 --> 0:16:38.280 Obviously a great football player from what we've seen already 0:16:38.280 --> 0:16:39.760 on the practice field, and you know, it's got a 0:16:39.760 --> 0:16:43.400 great track record, so you know, we'll see how it 0:16:43.520 --> 0:16:45.040 shakes out over the course of the rest of the week. 0:16:45.080 --> 0:16:50.000 But I feel really great about him. 0:16:50.200 --> 0:16:52.920 And lastly, special teams coordinator Chris Horton. 0:16:55.080 --> 0:16:55.840 Good to see everyone. 0:16:55.880 --> 0:16:59.320 Hope everyone's doing well for us. You know, I'm just 0:16:59.320 --> 0:17:02.040 having an opperture unity to really just kind of analyze 0:17:02.040 --> 0:17:04.960 the the last three weeks of UH of our games. 0:17:05.480 --> 0:17:07.320 It's about the little things. It's about it's about the 0:17:07.320 --> 0:17:09.479 little details, and that's really what we're chasing. 0:17:09.880 --> 0:17:10.000 UH. 0:17:10.000 --> 0:17:13.000 We got a division game this week. We're looking forward 0:17:13.040 --> 0:17:14.879 to just really going on and trying to play our 0:17:14.880 --> 0:17:17.080 best football game. We still haven't put that together, but 0:17:18.040 --> 0:17:19.880 we're doing some good things and uh, and those things 0:17:19.920 --> 0:17:21.320 are showing up on the tape, but we got to 0:17:21.359 --> 0:17:24.040 really find some consistency. And that's all a part of 0:17:24.080 --> 0:17:33.600 what we're doing. Questions up and down, great punts, Uh, the. 0:17:35.359 --> 0:17:45.520 Strategic that it was supposed to be high, and. 0:17:38.160 --> 0:17:44.520 You know, overall, you know, I thought, I'm you know, 0:17:44.600 --> 0:17:46.640 we think he's he's done a good job. He's done 0:17:46.640 --> 0:17:48.560 a good job so far of really just kind of 0:17:48.560 --> 0:17:50.199 doing what we've asked him to do. And uh, and 0:17:50.240 --> 0:17:53.159 then there's some some things that we could always work on. Right, 0:17:53.160 --> 0:17:57.280 it goes back to that consistency thing that I'm talking about. 0:17:57.440 --> 0:17:59.600 It's just it's it's everywhere. It's across the board. It's 0:17:59.640 --> 0:18:02.480
