• 0:00
  Speaker 1: More like weather at home. Right, how are we doing?
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: Got a lot of new faces on the defensive side
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: the ball compared to where the last time we played
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: the forty nine ers. Yeah, how do you feel like
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: that's going to affect this game in particular?
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's about this game. I think like
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: as the defense grows, it's just growing together. It's funny,
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Tarry's and Not just said the same thing to me
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: as we was walking off the field. It's like, this
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: is a different defense to the one we played when
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: we played them last time. And it is. And that's
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: that's that's this league. You know, it's ever evolving, you know,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: and you've got people have got to be ready to
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: go in. They've got to be prepared, they've got to
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: be ready to play this defense to.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: What you envision it could be at the beginning.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Everywhere you see splash, you see like flashes of it.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: It comes, and that's I think the next phase of
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: this defense is doing it on an everyday down basis.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: You see the speed, you see the physicality, you see
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: the tackling, the fundamentals, the ability to get the football,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: the pass rush. Now it's got to be on a
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: down to day on basis, that's that's where we're trying
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: to go.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: How have you seen Harris and they progress from you know,
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: the player wear early in the season where he's.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: At now not and day really if you like, And
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: it's just it's more not just on the field, but
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: him around the building the confidence he's growing, the way
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: he communicates, the way he goes from meeting rooms, takes
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: the information, can take it to a walk through like
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: it's just a growth and that's how that's what you
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: want to see from rookie. And I like that one.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: That's a good one. I feel a little bit. So
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: there's like three certain type of blocks, but it's real
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: critical in this defense to shed blocks.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: Could you expand that?
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Boy? I said that, you said, okay, I think, like
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: you know, people talk from their position. He's a he's
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: a he's an outside linebacker. It's about edge setting, finish
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: on the ball, like he wants to dominate his like
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: what we call a primary gap. So you imagine he's
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: setting on the edge and stopping the ball from going
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: outside and he still wants to be able to make
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: that tackle. And I think across the defense, the importance
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: of frown hands and getting off blocks. You see it,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: that's how that's how you create negative plays, and that's
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: also how you kind of clean up each other. You know,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: if someone's not in the right fit, if you're getting
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: off the block, you can finish on the football. Puting
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: against the forty nine ers, if I got this right
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: in terms of setting that blocker, staying within your lane.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: As opposed to over pursuing that and opening a gap.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: I think again, this is a wide zone team. You
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: know they're gonna take They're gonna push the proove to
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: a permit, and they've got an excellent group of running
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: backs that can make one cut, cut the defense in
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: half and get vertical. I think making out guys on
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: the edge play with great edge presence and the ability
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: to finish on the ball is ultra important.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: You guys had twenty six que back sorry as just said,
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: did you fill in the first forty nine game. They
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: had like three or four just really big plays.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: In that game. You do feel like you're the league.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: A couple of them were just like like one was the
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: real long run. It was just to me, you turn
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: it kind of that it should be like a it's
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: not a great run for us eight yards or nine yards,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: but then a couple of miss tackles and that's on
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: your toes and it's like a forty eight yard run.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Like those those are the things that you have to
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: you can't happen, and you can't give the opportunity to
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: give the life to the offense and put them in
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: a position where they're in a scoring opportunity immediately they're
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: They're the kind of issues that come up.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: Twenty six press throws against the points last time, only
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: a couple of hits and those sacks. How do you
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: defend Purdy and you know, keep him from squirling out
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: the market?
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: He's a master writ right. You watch the film and
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: you see him escape and you see and you kind
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: of you're looking, how do you get out of that?
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: I think you have to have the ability to rush
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: us For people like Russia's one like understand like how
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: each other play whilst keeping rush integrity. But when you
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: I feel like when you play movement quarterbacks, sometimes it
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: can take the juice off you because you're thinking, I've
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: I've got to contain this guy. Like it's going to
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: happen as you move forwards, and that's what the guys
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: that's trying to.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: Do then Erni's kind of taken over the greed died
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: and do it. It's only been here a couple of weeks.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: I mean usually that goes to somebody who's been around a.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: While or whatever. But how how I guess kind of prepared.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: What have you see? I think that speaks volumes to him.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: The ability to talk to the guys, them to listen,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: them to hear him. You see it in the room already,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Like he's a vocal guy that when he needs to speak,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: people listen. And that's one of his qualities and it's
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: gonna help us a lot.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: Robertson Harris, is this gold multi gap guy and where
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: is he to work using him? Are you intend to
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: see the area?
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah? I think so. I think like I think he
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: can have a better presence on like second down, past
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: situations and third down, but on first down, like the
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: ability to move him around when we're in four down
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: and five down, He's he's really there, and I think
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: his role will expand. I think it will expand down
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: to down.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Obviously had Tandy Town, everyone's said he's worked hard and
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: coachable or you think the next step is for him
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: to start making more disruptive ways in the backfield and
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: making get him to the quarterback. What's the next Steff.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: I think some of it's just situational, like understanding what
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: situation is in when he can use certain techniques, when
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: he can take a shot. And then as his confidence grows,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: you know, like I think this is a third game back,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: and you see like there's plays where it overlaps or
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: he takes a gap and he makes one and then
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: it's like stacking most plays, you know, like, and as
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: his confidence grows, I think you're we'll see that it's
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: going to happen. Thanks, have a great da
