Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: When you look at the explosives or they be lack
- 0:02Speaker 1: of explosives. Yeah, the San Francis, because what did you
- 0:05Speaker 1: like in the in that part of the game. I
- 0:08Speaker 1: just think when you when you limit explosives, it really
- 0:11Speaker 1: like comes to execution, you know, like the ability to execute,
- 0:15Speaker 1: the care, the ability to communicate and they understand of
- 0:18Speaker 1: what they're trying to attack, taking away the deeper throat
- 0:21Speaker 1: maybe or making sure they don't you're not You're not
- 0:24Speaker 1: not in your gap, you're making a player, you're covering
- 0:26Speaker 1: someone else.
- 0:27Speaker 2: Those are the areas like tackles.
- 0:29Speaker 1: Those things create explosives when you miss those things. And
- 0:34Speaker 1: last week we didn't and we played clean and it
- 0:37Speaker 1: helped us a lot, especially because what happens is suddenly
- 0:40Speaker 1: you put yourselves in good third down situations and you
- 0:43Speaker 1: can go the.
- 0:44Speaker 3: Film two weeks in a row out of around defense
- 0:47Speaker 3: has been strong for you, guys.
- 0:48Speaker 2: What do you feel like help you turn that corner.
- 0:51Speaker 1: I just think as you're going through it, it's like
- 0:54Speaker 1: it's the evolution of the defense, you know, like there's
- 0:57Speaker 1: a lot of things that's some new guys that have
- 0:58Speaker 1: come in they've helped, but also like the guys up front,
- 1:01Speaker 1: they're playing better, they're playing their understanding of what we're
- 1:04Speaker 1: trying to do and how we're trying to affect the
- 1:06Speaker 1: game up front. I think those things stacked on top
- 1:09Speaker 1: of each other are just as you go, you should
- 1:12Speaker 1: constantly improve, and that they're the things we're seeing.
- 1:15Speaker 4: You guys have been chasing this kind of performance all season,
- 1:18Speaker 4: one thing after another after another. How gratifying is it?
- 1:22Speaker 4: And have fun is it to now start to dream
- 1:24Speaker 4: about what you can build on from here and maybe
- 1:26Speaker 4: unlocky you haven't been able to do before.
- 1:27Speaker 2: I think those are dangerous things. I think, like.
- 1:32Speaker 1: You keep looking at and you keep looking at it objectively,
- 1:35Speaker 1: there's things you need to fix. We had some third
- 1:37Speaker 1: down losses that we shouldn't have had. You know, if
- 1:39Speaker 1: you look at the game that when those games go
- 1:42Speaker 1: one way or the other, when you win it, you
- 1:46Speaker 1: might not see it, but you need to see them.
- 1:47Speaker 1: You need to see those things, and when things don't
- 1:51Speaker 1: go as well, you need to see the good things
- 1:53Speaker 1: and how you evaluate those things. So I think for
- 1:56Speaker 1: us keeping that balance, I think you just see a
- 1:59Speaker 1: little bit more consistency, and we've got to keep pushing that.
- 2:01Speaker 1: We've got to keep growing it in practice and we've
- 2:03Speaker 1: got he's got an outcome in the game.
- 2:05Speaker 2: The third down losses that you mentioned, how big of a.
- 2:08Speaker 3: Factor was not getting enough pressure on per those twit.
- 2:10Speaker 1: Yeah, a couple of times it was hard because they're
- 2:12Speaker 1: they're they're they're protecting with seven guys, you know, six
- 2:15Speaker 1: guys at a time, and when you've got four guys coming,
- 2:18Speaker 1: it was just hard some of the games. Some of
- 2:20Speaker 1: the way they rush it, they got caught on edges
- 2:22Speaker 1: and it does get frustrated sometimes, but you just got
- 2:25Speaker 1: to keep going.
- 2:27Speaker 3: Kyler Muriy's the receptions are way down this year has
- 2:29Speaker 3: been and all that kind of what what are you
- 2:31Speaker 3: seeing from him? And how they're they're they they're being
- 2:34Speaker 3: really efficient.
- 2:35Speaker 2: Yeah, they are being really efficient.
- 2:36Speaker 1: They are they at times they remind me of like
- 2:39Speaker 1: when those guys are at Philly. The way they stay
- 2:41Speaker 1: in front of the sticks, the way they get themselves
- 2:43Speaker 1: managable third downs, and the way they get them situations
- 2:46Speaker 1: where they can either run or pass on third down
- 2:48Speaker 1: and Kyler Murray can use his legs.
- 2:49Speaker 2: They're doing a great job. They play the right way
- 2:52Speaker 2: in the last two years. How can know those the Cardinals.
- 2:54Speaker 2: From where the USA offense, it seems like Gammon's changed.
- 2:58Speaker 1: Yeah, like I said, like it coming from the NFC East,
- 3:00Speaker 1: they do some similar things and the way they play,
- 3:04Speaker 1: the way they respect, like looking after the football, staying
- 3:08Speaker 1: in front of the sticks. They are doing a really
- 3:10Speaker 1: good job. The outcome shows every week.
- 3:13Speaker 3: Dose McBride remind you of any other tight end. You
- 3:15Speaker 3: catches a lot of passes.
- 3:17Speaker 1: No, it's just he's a very good player, a very
- 3:19Speaker 1: good player with a ball in his hands, good route runner.
- 3:22Speaker 2: No, you have to respect his game. Tyree schnide has.
- 3:25Speaker 2: How would you his ability now to.
- 3:28Speaker 4: Share blocks and with nice to play and then he
- 3:31Speaker 4: quick that down.
- 3:31Speaker 2: He's a moving ladder. Where have you seen improvement in
- 3:33Speaker 2: those two years?
- 3:34Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely, you know, like like you think like, linebacker
- 3:38Speaker 1: is quite an instinctual position, you know, like if you
- 3:41Speaker 1: think about it conceptually, you have to finish on the football.
- 3:44Speaker 1: You have to play sideline to sideline, move forwards, and
- 3:47Speaker 1: your job is to finish on the football at time
- 3:49Speaker 1: and most of every play. So he had that coming in,
- 3:52Speaker 1: but now you can see his growth and understand of
- 3:55Speaker 1: the system. He's allowing himself to put himself in positions
- 3:58Speaker 1: to make the play faster, get on and off blocks,
- 4:01Speaker 1: show up on the football fast. And you're seeing that
- 4:03Speaker 1: and like him playing next to EJ with EJ's experience
- 4:05Speaker 1: is helping him a.
- 4:06Speaker 2: Lot team special. Yeah, I think.
- 4:11Speaker 1: I think, like it's funny like Dre's played a long
- 4:14Speaker 1: time in the NFL, but he played three technique and
- 4:17Speaker 1: now like he came here and he was playing three
- 4:19Speaker 1: technique and then when Leo came, he moved outside and
- 4:23Speaker 1: we're using him outside and we use him.
- 4:24Speaker 2: Inside as a Russier.
- 4:27Speaker 1: That's that's a growth and you I feel like Dre
- 4:30Speaker 1: is one of those guys that is improving. But I
- 4:33Speaker 1: thought we had a really good game against the forty
- 4:34Speaker 1: nine ers. You saw him setting edges, you saw him
- 4:36Speaker 1: Russian and I'm excited for him.
- 4:38Speaker 4: What do you like about what Kobe Bryant has done
- 4:40Speaker 4: since he stepped end of the starting off.
- 4:42Speaker 1: Yeah, I think Koby's a dug Like the way he
- 4:45Speaker 1: approaches the game. I thought, like I said to you
- 4:48Speaker 1: guys last week or the week before, I think his
- 4:52Speaker 1: his third level coming out of the breaks and making
- 4:54Speaker 1: those tackles.
- 4:55Speaker 2: I've really improved.
- 4:56Speaker 1: I've seen that on his tape and you he has
- 4:58Speaker 1: the ability to play like we call it red line
- 5:00Speaker 1: to red line where he can come out of the
- 5:01Speaker 1: post and make those plays near the sideline. Like I'm
- 5:05Speaker 1: excited for him. He's doing a good job and he
- 5:07Speaker 1: keeps improving. His communication is getting much better.
- 5:10Speaker 4: You've got a quarterback like Kyler Murray who can beat
- 5:11Speaker 4: you with his arm or with his legs. How do
- 5:14Speaker 4: you emphasize getting after the quarterback but also making sure
- 5:17Speaker 4: that he doesn't leak through and run.
- 5:20Speaker 1: For a lot of it's about communication. Love is about
- 5:22Speaker 1: understanding what the man's next you's doing and I think
- 5:25Speaker 1: when you're doing it right as a front, they should
- 5:28Speaker 1: be doing that every week. You know, like it changes
- 5:31Speaker 1: and it changes for the guy that takes the snap
- 5:34Speaker 1: and how you attack it. If you're playing guys not
- 5:36Speaker 1: as mobile, you might do it a different way. But
- 5:38Speaker 1: like how those four guys work in unison is like
- 5:41Speaker 1: a weekly thing. And this week, obviously you answer then
- 5:44Speaker 1: the question you ask. Everyone has to understand their rush lanes,
- 5:48Speaker 1: understand how they penetrate and don't get too far from.
- 5:53Speaker 3: Because these power issues affected how you guys have had
- 5:55Speaker 3: to prepare this.
- 5:56Speaker 1: Week at all or they always affect it, but like
- 5:59Speaker 1: I think you just have to embrace it.
- 6:00Speaker 2: And like every week you're adapting to something and you
- 6:03Speaker 2: shun move forward, you just go.
- 6:06Speaker 4: It seems like Bi Murpho's getting a lot of snaps
- 6:08Speaker 4: that knows in this game. Is that an area that
- 6:11Speaker 4: you feel like he is best suited for or anything
- 6:13Speaker 4: specific in that matchup that had him there a little
- 6:15Speaker 4: bit more.
- 6:16Speaker 1: No, it's just like really like he shares some retch
- 6:19Speaker 1: with Hank and they both have the ability to play
- 6:21Speaker 1: nos Byron can also play at three technique Hank. Hank
- 6:24Speaker 1: came in the league playing at three technique. I just
- 6:27Speaker 1: think sometimes we're in five down, it puts him in
- 6:29Speaker 1: that position. Sometimes when we're in four down, they can
- 6:32Speaker 1: slide the front to put him in different positions.
- 6:34Speaker 2: It's just his ability to be that versatile helps us mentally.
- 6:38Speaker 3: Since you mentioned Hank, you've been around him a lot
- 6:41Speaker 3: seeing that first interception.
- 6:42Speaker 1: Which how cool is that go about this high off
- 6:44Speaker 1: the ground and No, it was it was it was
- 6:48Speaker 1: so cool, Like it was like to hear him say,
- 6:52Speaker 1: this is twelve year in the league and that's his
- 6:53Speaker 1: first interception. You're there to see it and kind of
- 6:56Speaker 1: the guy you saw. I love the way it shows
- 6:58Speaker 1: it on the screen when we have power, but like
- 7:01Speaker 1: like when he catches the intercession, he runs the end
- 7:03Speaker 1: zone in the whole defense run there.
- 7:04Speaker 2: It's so happy for him. Those moments are that while
- 7:06Speaker 2: you coach, he was afraid to get taped. Yeah, he
- 7:10Speaker 2: went straight down.
- 7:11Speaker 1: He made a bitiness. I think you see it like
- 7:19Speaker 1: comes out. I think I think he had thirty tackles
- 7:21Speaker 1: in the game.
- 7:22Speaker 2: I think he does a good job of playing off
- 7:25Speaker 2: the guys in.
- 7:26Speaker 1: Front of him, you know, and he probably he thrived
- 7:31Speaker 1: in that in La you know, like playing off someone
- 7:33Speaker 1: like Aaron Donald and people like that.
- 7:35Speaker 2: They their instincts up front.
- 7:39Speaker 1: They're not always where the piece of paper says they're
- 7:41Speaker 1: meant to be, but they're making plays.
- 7:43Speaker 2: And his ability to play off.
- 7:44Speaker 1: Them, I saw it on his film when I watched
- 7:46Speaker 1: this film. But he does it with the guys up
- 7:48Speaker 1: front that we have now, and he he does a
- 7:51Speaker 1: very good job of leading them, like talking to them,
- 7:55Speaker 1: making them understand what we need as a defense.
- 7:57Speaker 2: And no, I'm really excited him. He's doing a good job.
- 8:02Speaker 1: Guys impressed by then, given he just playing the guys. Yeah,
- 8:06Speaker 1: you are, but like that he's a he's a very
- 8:10Speaker 1: mature man like young man is Like you see that,
- 8:13Speaker 1: like he's got confidence inside him and it comes out.
- 8:15Speaker 1: And I think that that kind of authentic confidence the
- 8:18Speaker 1: guys buy into and he just wants to play as dog.
- 8:22Speaker 4: Julian mentioned that Jaron Reid some of the other leaders
- 8:25Speaker 4: talked about bringing some of the lob attack mentality to
- 8:27Speaker 4: practice since before the Rams game, have you noticed that.
- 8:31Speaker 4: Have you've seen a difference in the practicing of the
- 8:33Speaker 4: players the last few weeks.
- 8:35Speaker 1: Yeah, I think like we try to make a We
- 8:38Speaker 1: try to make that practice is most important, you know,
- 8:41Speaker 1: like you talk about LLB like that that's in the
- 8:45Speaker 1: fabric of this place. Like as much as I don't
- 8:48Speaker 1: know the guy, I've seen, I've met the guys a
- 8:49Speaker 1: couple of times, but like that stuff that I like
- 8:52Speaker 1: working for d Q and stuff like that, I've gone, like,
- 8:54Speaker 1: come in this league watching that and and things.
- 8:58Speaker 2: Like that don't just happen. They happen because people do
- 9:02Speaker 2: it on.
- 9:02Speaker 1: A day to day basis, and and Jaron sharing that
- 9:05Speaker 1: experience and that's what you want, you know that that's
- 9:09Speaker 1: how you become a team that is playing when the
- 9:12Speaker 1: teams need to be playing at the end of the years,
- 9:15Speaker 1: by the way you practice, the way you go about
- 9:17Speaker 1: your business, the way you communicate, the way you prepare.
- 9:20Speaker 2: So no, it's great that he said that. You guys.
- 9:25Speaker 2: Thanks guys.
- 9:26Speaker 1: You
