  Speaker 1: What have you already seen in your new teammates.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: I mean, I just saw 'm'a walk through. But you
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: mean we play against him? Uh?
• 0:08
  Speaker 3: You kind of aware of people in the league, were
• 0:10
  Speaker 3: of good players in the league. He's definitely one of
• 0:12
  Speaker 3: the good players. And so to have a guy like
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: that come to this team, it's huge for us. I
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: think it's gonna be really big for our our defense,
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: especially our D line. It's another playmaker to add to
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: a D line, So it's gonna be good.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: What message or the.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: The feeling in the defensive meeting rooms.
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: When you guys found out. Uh, we found out on
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: our day off, so we was kind of just chilling.
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: But you know, anytime like you see a team being aggressive,
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: always trying to approve the roster, always trying to, you know,
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: even if we're doing well or doing something, tryna find
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: ways to make the team better. It's always a good
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: thing and it's always a you know, we wanna win
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: and we're gonna do whatever it takes to win.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: So I think that's cool.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: The defensive line, you're already geting long to get stuff
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: out of those guys. Just what can one more playmaker
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: do to help everybody?
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: Up there again.
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: I just think as as we you know, grow and
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: as the guys were just you know, like you said,
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: I got a lot of guys were doing a lot
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: of great things already. So you add another piece in there.
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: It's another person that you have to account for, another
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: person you have to worry about. You know, you can
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: switch up and do different things. Guys can move around
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: a little bit more because of the body types are
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: a little bit different, and so I think it's just,
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: you know, you can have some fun with it as
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: a defense coordinator.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: What was it?
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: What's the challenge with Lamar Jackson and the guy who's
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: that mobile quarterback and how to.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: Him a lot?
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: I think the biggest thing is that, you know, I
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: think a lot of you know, I think they put
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: a lot on his ability to run the ball. But
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: I think where he's grown the most is just his
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: ability to make the pass. I feel like he's always
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: been a good passor, but it's it's gotten better over
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: the years. And so, you know, I think before when
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: he used to kind of escape, he would look to run,
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: but he's looking to pass, and he's dangerous to run.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: I think he's equally as dangers in the past, and
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: so it's, uh, it's gonna be one of our t
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: tougher matchups to be able to contain him and not
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: let him just do whatever he wants.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: What have you seen from them in terms of their.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: Red zone efficiency?
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: I mean you uh, it kind of goes back to Lamar.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: I think, you know, having that threat, you know, whether
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: he can you know, hand it off to the running
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: back or keep it himself. It makes it tough for
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: the defense cause you have to, you know, figure out
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: where the balls out.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: You have to do it quick before the score.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: And so you know, they have all the type of
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: plays when it comes to run players. They got pullers,
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: they got reads on, they got read option, they got
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: all these different things, and so there's gonna be a
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: game where you have to be on your keys and
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: and you know you have to make fast reads.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Because that allowed the second half touchdown in four games.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: How much pride do you guys taken the finishing and
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: not letting teams get.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: Those late scores you said we haven't allowed game.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: I mean, I think sometimes sometimes it's just like you understand,
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: like when they come out, you're getting their best punts,
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: so you're getting you know, all the plays that you
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: may have messed up the week before, they're throwing new
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: plays in and so sometimes schlematically just you know, just
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: a half time. I feel like that's what we've been
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: doing a really good job of just making those key adjustments,
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: understanding how they're attacking this, and you know, everybody just
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: being on the same page.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: What did What did you.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Think of seeing Jason Peters out there, forty one years
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: old and all that, getting a lot of playing types
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: out there.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: I think it's cool.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: I mean, you know, a guy forty one to be
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: able to do that, and it's you know, who was
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: going up against a really really good pass rusher, So
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: it's definitely impressive. I think it's really cool for him
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: to be able to uh get out there. You know,
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: we watched that practice and you know, he still moves
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: really well. So it's it's fun to watch.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Are you in eight years? No?
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: Well, now when the defense is rolling, which helps you
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: in your job there in the secondaries playing well or
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: the pastor I know they're related, but what directly it
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: helps you?
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: It kind of depends, to be honest.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: If it's if we're talking run game, it's definitely the
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: D line, the d line helps a lot more if
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: it's just talking to past game, you know, I think
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: being able to bounce off with the safeties and trusting
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: the guys that you're passing certain things off with kind
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: of helps. But again you can also flip it. You know,
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: when you have safety is not scared to come into
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: the block and make tackles and trusting do the fits,
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: it helps you. But then you know, when you got
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: guys getting at the quarterback and making the quarterback throw
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: the ball quick, you know you don't have to cover
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: as long. So it kind of just depends on the game.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: I've always feel like the game starts up front, So
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: if I had to pick one, I definitely feel like
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: it's upfront for sure.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: Someone else who represents himself for you. Following Lamar's situation
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: with his contract and seating at all, yeah, I was following.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: I mean, I'm I think I follow a lot of
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: people that they try to negotiate themselves, so I thought
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: his was a interesting thing. I mean, I didn't understand
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: why it took so long for him to get paid.
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: I think he already his UH credentials were off the charts.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: I think him as a person, what he means to
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: that organization, it didn't make any sense. But you know,
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: I feel like sometimes powers that be don't really like
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: you doing that. So my opinion, out all.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: The numbers the defense has put up in the last
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: four days, what's the one that you look at and
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: is most indicative of.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: This style of defense.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: Stat I think you always look at the uh, the
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: run games. I think one that was the big thing
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: from last year, and that was the thing that.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: We wanted to improve the most.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: Obviously yards, you know, you don't want a team to
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: have a lot of yards, and then me, uh, you know,
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: historically we always pride ourselves on the points, like not
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: letting them score that mean points. I think, like I said,
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: we had like a four year stretch, so I think
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: we were the top scoring defense or whatever. So not
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: not letting the opponents put points on the board, so
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: it was a big thing.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: Anything else cool? Have you holidays? Powers,
