1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,640
Speaker 1: What's this What what is the mood of your defense

2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:06,400
Speaker 1: this week? Coming off how you guys played late in

3
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:09,680
Speaker 1: that game on Thursday. No, I think as competitors, we

4
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 1: are hungry to get back out there, um, hungry to

5
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:15,079
Speaker 1: make the corrections. We look back at the tape. It

6
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:17,800
Speaker 1: was little things here and there. Um. Just when one

7
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 1: of one matchups is focusing in on the details. Um.

8
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:22,760
Speaker 1: And if we do that, we're a really good defense.

9
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 1: It's just making sure we're consistent. Where's the drop off

10
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 1: in your assessment so far? Continuing? You know what you

11
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 1: guys kind of were last year, what we see this

12
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 1: year so far? Yeah, I think the biggest thing is

13
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:35,560
Speaker 1: just the attention to detail. I think there's just little

14
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 1: lacks um lapses out there and it's uh, they're finding

15
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 1: it this year, I think more. And I think for

16
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,240
Speaker 1: us it's just focusing in on those things because it

17
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 1: ends up being kind of a one off thing. One

18
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:50,840
Speaker 1: guy here, one guy there, where you go to sideline's

19
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 1: like okay, hey, I got I need to fix this

20
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: small thing, and next thing you know, it's a big

21
00:00:55,600 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 1: snowball effect. I mean they're finding it. Some of that,

22
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: Like when you guys are in zone defenses. No, Yeah,

23
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 1: I think at the the end of the day, it

24
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,040
Speaker 1: just comes down to whether it's zone or man or anything.

25
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 1: You understand where your help is, UM, where your other

26
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 1: zone droppers are, where you can anticipate to be UM

27
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: reading off the quarterback's eyes. Just small things like that,

28
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 1: and being one or two steps quicker to be able

29
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:22,959
Speaker 1: to break the ball up instead of just making attack.

30
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: You have teams adjusted coming off of last year's tape too.

31
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 1: How you guys try to disguise coverages or how you

32
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: how you steam up your dad um I mean potentially yeah,

33
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: probably UM in some sort some way. UM. More tape

34
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: you put out there seems are gonna look at some

35
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: kind of tendencies we have. But overall, I think when

36
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: we look back at the tape, it's more on us,

37
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: um than the other team. So obviously, the way you

38
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: guys lost that game was it was unusual to say

39
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 1: the least. I mean, you got driven down your throats twice.

40
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 1: So let's be honest. I mean, so are you guys

41
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 1: come did you guys come back in here angry? What

42
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: are you guys pissed? As a defense, and how that's unfolded.

43
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 1: I think when you go out there as a defense.

44
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: You want to put to have the game on your shoulders.

45
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 1: You want to be able to make those players, you

46
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:10,919
Speaker 1: want to be able to get off the field. UM.

47
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 1: And it's just one of those moments where it was

48
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: too many times where it was like, Okay, I got

49
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 1: this next one, Like I'll be better on this next one,

50
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 1: and there's another guy, I gotta get better on this one,

51
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: and at that point, like we gotta we gotta stop

52
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: stop that and switch it around and hold everybody accountable

53
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: and make sure we have that string of three or

54
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,519
Speaker 1: four plays um to get off the field. Like I

55
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 1: would think that when you have a team with a

56
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 1: lot of new guys, making those adjustment would be fairly

57
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 1: difficult because you don't know each other as well. But now,

58
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 1: I mean virtually everyone you know you're comfortable with. So

59
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 1: do you do you anticipate these adjustments should be more

60
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 1: quick now? Oh no, definitely. I think as we grow

61
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 1: comfortable UM across the board, and we grow through these

62
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: these mistakes and these types of things that have happened

63
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: to us UM to not help us win games, I

64
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,920
Speaker 1: think as we get that going, and like I said,

65
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:00,519
Speaker 1: I mean it comes down to the tense in the detail.

66
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 1: Once that comes every single play, or at least ninety

67
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: five percent of the time. UM, then we have a

68
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: chance to go out and win games. As as a

69
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:10,919
Speaker 1: leader and a captain. UM, to just take you a

70
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: little bit by surprise that there would be lapses here

71
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 1: and there, you know so frequently, you know, throughout the

72
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: whole defense. Oh yeah, I mean you go through o

73
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 1: t as you go through training camp, you go through preseason,

74
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: you work extremely hard and and focus and making sure

75
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: you're doing everything right. UM. Yeah, you go out there

76
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: and you don't perform the way you expected to. UM.

77
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:34,119
Speaker 1: Definitely something we want to turn around. Do you think

78
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: your guy's lack of pressure on the opposing quarterback is

79
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: exposing things that wouldn't be exposed if they didn't have

80
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 1: as much time. I mean yeah, I mean I think

81
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 1: that's kind of self explainatory in the sense of, like,

82
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 1: if we can we get after a quarterback he's not

83
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: able to see his third, second, third, fourth read, UM,

84
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: and now he's having having to scramble or throw the

85
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: ball away or things like that. UM. I think rush

86
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 1: kind of goes with coverage. You have good rush, UM,

87
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 1: good pressure, it's hard hard for teams to move with

88
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: the coverage. How problematic would it be or is it

89
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: to give Matt Ryan a lot of time given how

90
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: much he's seen and how much he can pick you

91
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 1: guys pick a defensive part with his eyes. No, definitely,

92
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: I think he's he was an MVP quarterback for a reason, UM,

93
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 1: a lot of experience, and I think getting out there,

94
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: you don't want to get him into the m v

95
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: P groove. UM. And that's kind of the game plan.

96
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,720
Speaker 1: Make sure he doesn't get comfortable and we're able to

97
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: kind of dictate the game. Okay, what kind of challenge

98
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 1: does the guy like Kyle Pitts present a tight end?

99
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,600
Speaker 1: He's kind of a unique specimen there, right. Oh yeah,

100
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:42,600
Speaker 1: it's definitely a unicorn athlete. UM. I mean he's basically

101
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 1: a wide receiver tight end at the same time. UM,

102
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 1: so someone you have to know where he's at all times,

103
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 1: what formations he's in, UM, and and just try to

104
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:54,040
Speaker 1: see certain tendencies and then go and make plays against

105
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: someone like that because yours you reminding you anyone that

106
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 1: you've seen. When he said no, I think he's a

107
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 1: a one of one. UM. If you're in the collector space. Uh,

108
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 1: he's definitely a one of one and uh yeah he's

109
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:08,919
Speaker 1: he's a freak
