  Speaker 1: Yes, we have. We talked about it and understand that.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: You know, you have to embrace your home crowd and
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: we want him as loud as they can be and
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: we'll deal with it. We want the Ravens have to
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: deal with it. So you know, come be vocal, let
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: the place get rocking, and we'll take care of ours. Johnson,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: I thought he did a real good job. It's just
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: continues to improve and you know, every opportunity gets he
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: seems to flash. And he made a great play late
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: in the game, breaking up the past and the pressure
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: he got the sack. It's just he's been able to
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: step up. I don't think the game is too big
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: for him. He understands he plays well, he tackles well,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: and he can cover. So it's just he has a
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: variety of different talents that he's been able to use.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: The opportunity for a few more snaps.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Oh definitely, when you when you make plays and giving
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: our opportunities. You know, if we're able to give him
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: more snaps, we'll look for multiple ways to get him
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: out there on the field. Player is he in that role?
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Just feel you don't see many six three nickels. You
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: really don't it's hard to find a nickel because you
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: want someone that can cover the small guys, can help
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: you out in the run game, can blitz off the edge.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: And we have like three three guys that really can
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: carry that role. Trade other great job of covering in there,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: being real savvy, and Greg Junior has some plays that
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: he's been able to make, and you see Antonio get
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: an opportunity coming in there and blitzing off the edge,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: fitting in the run and covering guys. It's it's really
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: a really good to see the young guy step up
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: when they get a given the chance.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: What did you think about the Browns game from a
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: defensive perspective and did it really just boil down to
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: those three plays or the bus it cover visual, whatever
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: it may be.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: What'd you sort of think about it? Really? Uh, it's
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: not good enough. That's the main thing I take from it.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Because you can go out there and you can play
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: seventy plays and you don't play three good and it's
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: a bad day. And we had a bad day regardless
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: of you look at turnovers, you look at how many
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: times we forced them to punt. It was the plays
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: that we didn't execute that hurt us and as a
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: defensive coach, as defensi players, that's what happens all the time.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: You have to be right all the time. And we
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: got to get better. And so what do you have
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: to do against this team coming in?
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: You know, Lamar Jackson, that guy could run around do
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: all that kind of stuff. But how much is focus needed,
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: especially for this game?
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Really, I don't think it's focus. I think we understand.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: It's just I hate to use this word, but it
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: goes back to communication. You know. Communication. There's plays where
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: we can talk and help each other out by letting
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: each other know what page we're on. And then at
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: the end of the day, we have to go out
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: and execute. You know, we have a technique to play
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: and we have to go out there and get it played.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: And just talking about Lamar, you know the different problems
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: he presents in the run game and buying time as
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: a as a passer, and the thing you see from
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: this year that we saw a little bit last year,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: but his completion percentage is going up. He's able to
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: spread the ball around to the weapons. So he's taken
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: full advantage of the guy they've surrounded him with.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: Probably didn't wasn't enough to snuff. How do you maybe
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: jump start that this week against a guy who can
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: get out of sacks.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the thing. We have to rush him. We
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: have to pressure him because we don't want him sitting
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: back there because he is a guy that in the
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: pocket he can he can hurt you as well as
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: outside the pocket. But we'll we have a plan and
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: we'll try to execute that plan. But at the end
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: of the day, we have to be who we are.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: We have to affect the quarterback. And it didn't work
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: as well if he wanted to last week. So we
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: get another opportunity for the guys to come out and
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: go ahead and execute the plan and look after a quarterback.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Since when you guys played that even last year, you
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: can see it's it's different. They still run rpo, they
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: still throw the ball quick, but it's different the route tree,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: the route combinations that they're using now with him, it's
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: a it's pretty tough. Yeah, yeah, I know it's a rookie.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: But what has he kind of shown so far and
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: just what makes him kind of difficult Quickness, quickness and speed.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: He's a guy that, uh, he really can go. He's
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: a guy that can run, he can get in and
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: out of break, saying he's another weapon for Lamar. You
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: put guys on there and you're able to spread the
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: field and Cris problems for defenses.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: Made another and played some more for you last week.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: How important has he been for this defense this year?
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: I mean, has he maybe been even better than what
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: you expected him to be going into the year.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Well, we have the next man up mentality, and with Buster,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: he's got his opportunity and he's been out there and
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: he's played every week and he'll continue to get better.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: But just looking at it, he's got an opportunity and
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: he's taking full advantage of it. He's playing well for us.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: We like what he's doing, and you know, it's good
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: to see a young guy that his hard work is
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: paid off. He came in here a little bit raw.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Now he's understanding the technique. See he's out there, he'll compete,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: he'll fight you, and you want that from a defensive back.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: You know, he has a short memory. If he does
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: give up something, he's right back up there challenging the
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: next play. And you like to see that
