1 00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:03,080 Speaker 1: With the strategy at the regulation. 2 00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:05,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean we knew kind of the distance what 3 00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:08,080 Speaker 2: it was going to be. Getting credit to him making 4 00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:11,520 Speaker 2: sixty four yarder, but we knew that was his Range's 5 00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:13,399 Speaker 2: trying to defend the line as best we could. Wish 6 00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:16,480 Speaker 2: we would have been tighter, a little bit tighter again, 7 00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:19,479 Speaker 2: just like all these calls that don't work. 8 00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:22,480 Speaker 1: Second guess that you probably wish you in a different direction. 9 00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:26,520 Speaker 2: A tough, tough situation to come down to that, to 10 00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,440 Speaker 2: that one play, I gotta be better. Wish we would 11 00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,599 Speaker 2: have been better, and hopefully we can. We can move 12 00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:34,519 Speaker 2: on and progress from it and learn from it and 13 00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:38,199 Speaker 2: be better. But feel for the guys. They battled for 14 00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:40,640 Speaker 2: ninety two plays and then they come down to that 15 00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 2: one play. Feel for them, But again it's Thursday. Now 16 00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:47,680 Speaker 2: we gotta move on, get ready for the Chiefs. 17 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,280 Speaker 1: What do you learn from that? Yeah, I think again 18 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:54,080 Speaker 1: just the ability to possibly be tighter in. 19 00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,200 Speaker 2: Those situations, like make sure we're a little bit more 20 00:00:56,200 --> 00:01:01,200 Speaker 2: own body as we go, understand understanding that like with 21 00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:04,759 Speaker 2: the line, and again were everybody knew what the line 22 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:09,480 Speaker 2: was going to be for him, but just opportunities to 23 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 2: be a little bit tighter potentially on those guys. And 24 00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:15,880 Speaker 2: I mean any call, if any call you make, if 25 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 2: it doesn't work, you second guess it, right, you second 26 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,320 Speaker 2: guess it. And you got to look at them. You 27 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 2: got to look at them all and evaluate what's best 28 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 2: for the situation, was best for these players and go 29 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 2: from there. 30 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 3: Speaking of Sunday, obviously he has got a mass challenge 31 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:31,920 Speaker 3: with Mahomes and those guys. Do you see a drop 32 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 3: off with this team? Wouilt The numbers maybe aren't what 33 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 3: they are with this offense, but do you still see 34 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,400 Speaker 3: this team is still a formidable fol given what they've 35 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 3: done the last seven years or so. 36 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, I mean you still see the playmaking ability 37 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 2: of Mahomes. He's he's a future Hall of Famer, super 38 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 2: Bowl winner, can make every throw, uh can buy time, 39 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 2: really just in command of what they're trying to do. 40 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 1: I think the the of. 41 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 2: Him and his receivers to be on the same page 42 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 2: throughout a game shows up like stopping in zones, not 43 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 2: really finishing a route, whatever that might be. Obviously, Kelsey's 44 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 2: been the best at it for a long time, just 45 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:14,400 Speaker 2: finding ways to uncover. 46 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 1: So we're gonna have to be ready to go. We're 47 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 1: gonna have find. 48 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 2: Ways to hopefully affect them and hopefully be able to 49 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,799 Speaker 2: cover these receivers, match these receivers and hold up through 50 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 2: the first first play and then the second play as 51 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 2: he extends, but still very formidable foe like, we're gonna 52 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:32,799 Speaker 2: have to be ready to go Sunday night. 53 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 3: Are you finding the CD two rotation working out between 54 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:37,360 Speaker 3: flat nings? 55 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 1: Yeah? I think they've both done good thing. They've done 56 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 1: good things. 57 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 2: I think last week Tay got in there a little 58 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 2: bit more on first second down, went into the game 59 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 2: thinking he'd earned the right to play a little bit 60 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 2: more first second down, so we were rotating him in 61 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,800 Speaker 2: there some. And then obviously with where the snap count 62 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,679 Speaker 2: got to, the numbers got increased there too. So I 63 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 2: think they're both doing really good things. Continue to improve 64 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 2: and week to week we'll kind of see where we're 65 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:02,800 Speaker 2: at with that. 66 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:04,800 Speaker 3: Shane, what was that like in the meeting room on 67 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 3: Monday watching that pest to ferguson for you and for 68 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:08,800 Speaker 3: your unit? 69 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:12,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, good question. I mean it's tough. It's tough. 70 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 2: I think I guess the thing all of us are 71 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 2: are accountable for it right to everything. Obviously, I'm accountable 72 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 2: to that. In that call, I told him, Mike, I 73 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 2: wish I wish I would have been a little bit tighter, 74 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 2: made a little bit different call for you guys, but 75 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,800 Speaker 2: in a better situation. And that's the one thing about 76 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 2: a team I think, like we build all these relationships. 77 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 2: We're in it together. We spend so much time together. 78 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 2: You've got to be able to have each other's backs, right, 79 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 2: and the good times and the bad. 80 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 1: It's not always going to be good. 81 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 2: But we got to make sure us as a coaching staff, 82 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 2: as a defensive unit, as a team, that we're in 83 00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 2: this thing together and we're going to keep working and 84 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 2: have trust that we're all going to keep working to 85 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 2: get better and find find ways to improve so we 86 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 2: can wind. 87 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 3: You second guess yourself and not being more aggressive in 88 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 3: that situation. 89 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 2: I mean, just how the how the call worked out, 90 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 2: How the call worked out, I would have liked to 91 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 2: have a different caller. 92 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 4: It seems at the beginning of that game that you 93 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,160 Speaker 4: guys as a defense were ahead of what they were 94 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 4: doing offensively, But then it kind of turned on its head. 95 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 4: Did what were they exploding that they weren't getting to 96 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:24,840 Speaker 4: in the first half? 97 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:28,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think uh as you kind of go back 98 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,480 Speaker 2: and look at it, and they got in some of 99 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 2: the tempo rush mode where we were going there in 100 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 2: the fourth quarter, just making sure. The big thing for 101 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:38,840 Speaker 2: me was on third down being able to get off 102 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:40,840 Speaker 2: the field, Like we had a third down, couple third 103 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,600 Speaker 2: critical third downs in the high red area. We had 104 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 2: a fourth and four I think backed up with two 105 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 2: minutes just above two minutes right where we're in situations 106 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 2: where we're able to get off the field there. I 107 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 2: think it's a totally different outcome, different feeling in terms 108 00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 2: like the biggest thing for me, I think they were 109 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,480 Speaker 2: running some play actions and stuff down the field as 110 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,359 Speaker 2: the game went on. You saw that and they were 111 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 2: hitting some of those underneath players to check checkouts where 112 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,039 Speaker 2: you're trying to stay on top of some of the 113 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 2: deeper routes and then they're dumping it down. But ultimately 114 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,159 Speaker 2: for us right now, I think that game obviously came 115 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,920 Speaker 2: down to the one play late, but the penalties killed us. 116 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 2: They scored twenty four points when we had penalties on 117 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 2: drives twenty four points. And again between X play, exposive 118 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:30,039 Speaker 2: plays and penalties, that's where offenses thrive and scoring points, 119 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 2: So we got to be much more disciplined with that, 120 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 2: understanding the rules, being smart around the quarterback. And then 121 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:38,919 Speaker 2: obviously we got to we got to be better in 122 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 2: the red zone, like that's an area we got to improve, 123 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 2: got to find a way to get stops in the 124 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:45,039 Speaker 2: rizzone the. 125 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 4: Game was working. Did that make the play action more 126 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:49,480 Speaker 4: difficult to defend. 127 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 1: For you guys? I would say probably a little bit. 128 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:52,720 Speaker 2: I mean you go back and look though, I like 129 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,720 Speaker 2: they had the one in the third quarter on us 130 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 2: that hit us. I think at halftime it was it 131 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,039 Speaker 2: was minimal. I think they had under twenty yards, so 132 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 2: they hit that that one, and then after that I 133 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 2: think probably more so the play action. You just get 134 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,119 Speaker 2: so enamored with the down the field routes between CD 135 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,719 Speaker 2: and those guys right where you're just getting the depth, 136 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 2: and then those underneath things get caught and it turns 137 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 2: into eight, eight to ten. 138 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:20,920 Speaker 1: You know, what's the. 139 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,360 Speaker 4: Coaching point on the alling those penalties like the back 140 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 4: shoulder DPIs it seems like a tough play to defend? 141 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 1: It is? It is? 142 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:32,400 Speaker 2: I think the hand high like our hand was up high, 143 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 2: like that's going to be visible when you're up on 144 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 2: the shoulder pad, continuing to look for the ball. I 145 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 2: felt like both those guys tried to look for the 146 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 2: ball and they were They were connected for the most part. 147 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 2: But anytime that back shoulder comes comes back late and 148 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 2: you're on top, it's natural to. 149 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:48,920 Speaker 1: Try to grab. You got to fight the grab. 150 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 2: And especially we can't get it up high like they're 151 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 2: going to see that every time when we're up on 152 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 2: the shoulder pad. But continue to stay tight, do our 153 00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,839 Speaker 2: best to stay on the low hip so we're not 154 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:03,360 Speaker 2: overrunning everything on these back shoulders. Again, you played tight coverage. 155 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 2: Some of that stuff's gonna happen at times like it is, 156 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:07,719 Speaker 2: and we're gonna have to reload and be able to 157 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 2: play the next play and find stops. But two top penalties. 158 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 4: You're based again city when you're the DC and Tennessee 159 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 4: and had a couple of games where you kind of 160 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:17,239 Speaker 4: kept them down. I'm sure you've come back and watched 161 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 4: those games. 162 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 1: What stood out there was effective that obvious you're gonna 163 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 1: have to translate to this matchup. 164 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I think we were able to affect 165 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 2: the quarterback, we were able to affect the homes. We 166 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 2: got some turnovers, that was a big part of it. 167 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 2: We were able to get some turnovers I think the 168 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 2: red zone, and both those games we were pretty good. 169 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 2: The second one up there was another a lot of 170 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 2: plays and then we just found stops in the red 171 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 2: zone to keep us in the game. And then one 172 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 2: in Tennessee we got up early too, Like we got 173 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 2: up early, had a big lead early, and then it 174 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 2: was kind of rush and cover affected quarterback. So kind 175 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 2: of play in our favor a little bit at that point. 176 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 1: But good tape. The watch good tape to go back. 177 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 2: And see just kind of the plan and how how 178 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 2: we can correlate it, how we can adjust some things 179 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:11,000 Speaker 2: whatever that might be. 180 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 1: Pressure. Do you feel pressure to get it right quickly here? 181 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:18,240 Speaker 1: Because I mean, you know, the two biggest investments in 182 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 1: free agency we're on the defensive side. They drafted a 183 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 1: number three overall pick. Usually get time to put a 184 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 1: group together, and now you're rowing two and you're coming 185 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 1: off last season. Do you feel pressure? 186 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel pressure to do my job right, Like 187 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 2: I feel pressure to do my job, like I'm I'm 188 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 2: here for the guys, like I'm I'm in I'm in 189 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:41,080 Speaker 2: charge of that group and between me, the defensive staff, 190 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 2: the players, like, we got things we got to fix. 191 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 2: We understand that. We're working hard to find solutions, to 192 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:52,840 Speaker 2: make adjustments where needed, But ultimately it comes down to 193 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,560 Speaker 2: everybody doing their job. Do your job a little bit better, 194 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 2: a little bit more consistently, and hopefully we can continue 195 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 2: to build off the good things, learn from the bad 196 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 2: things and get those next where we can take some 197 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,439 Speaker 2: strides here and and and win, like find a way 198 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 2: to win. 199 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 4: What's the morale of your your defense? 200 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 1: How would you describe it now? 201 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 2: I think they're good. I think they're ready to go. 202 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,680 Speaker 2: They're excited for Sunday Night. They know we have a 203 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 2: big challenge with the Chiefs coming in. I mean they're 204 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 2: looking forward to the opportunity. They are so again it's 205 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 2: for two games in. We're not where we want to 206 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,679 Speaker 2: be defensively. We've got to improve. We all understand that. 207 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 2: But at the same time, like, we got a great 208 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:38,080 Speaker 2: opportunity this week on Sunday Night football to go out 209 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 2: there and play against a really good offense, really good quarterback. 210 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:46,679 Speaker 1: And hopefully put our best foot forward. Thinks happen to play? 211 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,240 Speaker 4: You got a lot more snaps in this game? Uh, 212 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 4: what'd you figure out he played, and did you like 213 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,319 Speaker 4: some of the off ball stuff. I mean, he generates 214 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 4: the pressure kind of blitz from Yeah. 215 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought he did a good a good job. Yeah, 216 00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 1: the off ball stuff. 217 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 2: Just the limited package that we have with them, the 218 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,600 Speaker 2: ability to do some of those things I think is unique. 219 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 2: He's got a good skill set for it. But he 220 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 2: was productive, he factored. Just continuing to find ways that 221 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 2: really implement all those guys up front the best way 222 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 2: we can, or we can get them on the field 223 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,960 Speaker 2: and put them in situations that are advantageous for them.
