Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Did you take any time off during this little extra break?
- 0:03Speaker 2: Yeah? I did on Sunday, just hung out with a family.
- 0:07Speaker 2: It was good. Good to get a break and kind
- 0:10Speaker 2: of recharge.
- 0:12Speaker 1: What are those like micro breaks during the season micro
- 0:16Speaker 1: bis do for you guys?
- 0:17Speaker 3: I just think it's times good times to reflect, like
- 0:20Speaker 3: assess where you're at, look at versus sometimes who you
- 0:24Speaker 3: think you are, versus what you actually are, and what
- 0:26Speaker 3: the tape says and what the kind of data says.
- 0:29Speaker 3: Go and look at that and see what you need
- 0:32Speaker 3: to improve.
- 0:33Speaker 1: Does the tape say you are right now?
- 0:35Speaker 2: What's that? What does the tape say you are? It
- 0:37Speaker 2: says we're improving week by week. It says that.
- 0:42Speaker 3: We really wanna we try and be physical as much
- 0:45Speaker 3: as we possibly can. I think there's another place we
- 0:47Speaker 3: can go. There's a there's a higher standard that the
- 0:50Speaker 3: guys want to play at, and I think they try
- 0:52Speaker 3: and push themselves there.
- 0:55Speaker 2: But it also shows some really good stuff.
- 0:57Speaker 3: You can't you can't look at something and just always
- 0:59Speaker 3: say like where can we over coach something like? You
- 1:03Speaker 3: also have to praise people, and some people are doing
- 1:05Speaker 3: some really good things.
- 1:06Speaker 4: If if makes it back this week, is there any
- 1:08Speaker 4: challenge that all the kind of reintegrating him and the things. Obviously,
- 1:11Speaker 4: you guys are played pretty well in the back end
- 1:12Speaker 4: right now.
- 1:13Speaker 3: No, I think like that's like he's always in the meetings,
- 1:16Speaker 3: Like since he came back last this Monday, he's been
- 1:20Speaker 3: doing all the walkthroughs and getting himself right like here,
- 1:24Speaker 3: I think he'll have ready the game planners for him
- 1:26Speaker 3: and get ready to go.
- 1:28Speaker 2: So when it comes to.
- 1:29Speaker 3: The way Baker Bayfield runs, it's not just his ability
- 1:32Speaker 3: to run. Your guys, who said he runs like a
- 1:34Speaker 3: running back, What does that mean? When you're thinking about stuff,
- 1:38Speaker 3: it's hard like this this guy is a really good player,
- 1:40Speaker 3: Like like when you really like sometimes you don't always
- 1:45Speaker 3: get to see the crossover tape of everyone in the NFL,
- 1:48Speaker 3: and when you really watch this guy, he's playing at
- 1:49Speaker 3: extremely high level. He's got a real unreal sense for
- 1:55Speaker 3: the pocket and where the space is in the pocket
- 1:58Speaker 3: and how to like manipulate people in small spaces.
- 2:01Speaker 2: It's it's hard.
- 2:02Speaker 3: You can see like he wins the game by doing that,
- 2:05Speaker 3: Like he's won multiple games by by keeping the player
- 2:09Speaker 3: alive when it should be dead. And you've got to
- 2:11Speaker 3: tell your half to him he is a he's a
- 2:13Speaker 3: real one. You think about rush play instead and your
- 2:16Speaker 3: guys are fun. Looks the benefit of playing and hive
- 2:19Speaker 3: versus earlier in the.
- 2:20Speaker 2: Season, there's a benefit now. I don't think there's a benefit.
- 2:25Speaker 3: I think it's it's more that I would say the
- 2:28Speaker 3: for us, the the positive is that I feel like
- 2:34Speaker 3: it's more about the question you ask is more about us.
- 2:37Speaker 3: Like I feel like we're connecting more, We're understanding how
- 2:40Speaker 3: to be a group more and hopefully it will shop
- 2:43Speaker 3: on Sunday, Greg McDonald's.
- 2:45Speaker 1: That Darien Kendricks are in the chance to compete for
- 2:47Speaker 1: their nickel role, I might move Spoon outside. How do
- 2:50Speaker 1: you kind of think about Spoon obviously has been really
- 2:52Speaker 1: effective in the nickel and making that kind of decision
- 2:55Speaker 1: and what the pros and cons are.
- 2:57Speaker 3: I think you just like when when you get into
- 3:01Speaker 3: situations like this and it's I feel like it's everywhere
- 3:04Speaker 3: in the defense.
- 3:04Speaker 2: I know you're talking.
- 3:05Speaker 3: About Spoon, but Spoon's a good outside player too, so
- 3:09Speaker 3: DK's playing well inside it.
- 3:12Speaker 2: I just think I keep saying it every week to
- 3:14Speaker 2: you guys.
- 3:15Speaker 3: I know it sound like a start record, but if
- 3:17Speaker 3: you grow competition and people understand it and they play
- 3:22Speaker 3: to the best of their ability. They're going to maximize
- 3:24Speaker 3: their snaps on the field. And I feel like there's
- 3:27Speaker 3: certain people in our defense that.
- 3:28Speaker 2: Are doing that right now.
- 3:31Speaker 1: Who are those people?
- 3:31Speaker 3: I think Mike Morris is doing it. I think DK's
- 3:35Speaker 3: doing it. I think Brandon Peaely done it on against Arizona.
- 3:39Speaker 3: There's like they're they're taking small amount of step snaps
- 3:43Speaker 3: in the game and they're creating production. So what like
- 3:47Speaker 3: to me, Mike talks about being shocking, Like to me,
- 3:49Speaker 3: that's shocking. If you can you can run out there
- 3:52Speaker 3: play twenty five or like Mike mold did, play I
- 3:56Speaker 3: don't know what it probably about forty five and make
- 3:59Speaker 3: a third down stop on a run that makes you
- 4:01Speaker 3: And that's what I'm talking about, maximizing snaps.
- 4:04Speaker 2: What do you think of the way Reeks playing goal?
- 4:07Speaker 2: I guess we're not job that's way DPI is or
- 4:10Speaker 2: or even feel like it the night and when you go.
- 4:15Speaker 3: I think with reap when you get in the like,
- 4:19Speaker 3: I think there's he plays a position. I think you
- 4:22Speaker 3: asked me like, there's there's a lot of the game
- 4:24Speaker 3: on reap you don't see, you know, if the door
- 4:26Speaker 3: doesn't go to his side, you don't see it. And
- 4:30Speaker 3: if you watch the tape, there's some good stuff, there's
- 4:33Speaker 3: some really good stuff, and then at times there's some
- 4:35Speaker 3: stuff where it gets attacked. I think when you get
- 4:38Speaker 3: in these situations, as you go through, you got to
- 4:41Speaker 3: focus on your technique. You've got to focus on the process.
- 4:44Speaker 3: And I feel like Reek's doing that this week. And
- 4:47Speaker 3: you come out and you want your technique and you
- 4:50Speaker 3: win at the line of scrimmage and it and it
- 4:52Speaker 3: just improves you week by week. I don't think you
- 4:55Speaker 3: have to overthink these things. I think you have to,
- 4:58Speaker 3: Like you asked me about the k you have to
- 5:00Speaker 3: compete like that. The vision of what we're creating here
- 5:04Speaker 3: is a group of people that are competing at the
- 5:05Speaker 3: highest level and the best version of themselves.
- 5:08Speaker 2: What's Drake Thomas showing you, guys to earn more point
- 5:11Speaker 2: in time? Another guy that maximizing snaps.
- 5:13Speaker 3: Like I think at first, like Drake does a lot
- 5:16Speaker 3: of things right, but now he's actually starting to like
- 5:20Speaker 3: make plays as well. He got sacked against Arizona, made
- 5:22Speaker 3: some good open field tackles. He is not just a
- 5:25Speaker 3: reliable players player in our defense, and he's doing a
- 5:27Speaker 3: real good job.
- 5:28Speaker 4: With many quarterbacks like Greatfield, we've always talked about not
- 5:32Speaker 4: losing contained.
- 5:33Speaker 2: You gotta you.
- 5:33Speaker 4: Gotta make sure you keep him contained and things like that.
- 5:35Speaker 4: What sort of is that just completely a disciplined thing
- 5:38Speaker 4: on the guys on the edges.
- 5:39Speaker 3: To Yeah, we had it last Thursday, Like Karla Morra
- 5:43Speaker 3: is an excellent call back in the pocket. It's a
- 5:47Speaker 3: bit of both, like like you don't want like it's
- 5:51Speaker 3: like you want to pass rush and you want to
- 5:53Speaker 3: say you want to keep this guy in the pocket.
- 5:55Speaker 2: Everyone just runs and sticks on everyone. You haven't got
- 5:57Speaker 2: a pass rush.
- 5:58Speaker 3: So it's like you have to think about how how
- 6:02Speaker 3: you rush together, how you play off each other, how
- 6:04Speaker 3: you create levels in the pocket, and how certain techniques
- 6:08Speaker 3: you use whilst you're rushing the past allows you to
- 6:12Speaker 3: hopefully make the play.
- 6:13Speaker 2: But it's not an easy task.
- 6:15Speaker 3: That's why players like Baker Kyla consistently make plays.
- 6:19Speaker 1: McDonald said that he kind of wanted to pressure a
- 6:22Speaker 1: little bit more and that you were like in the
- 6:24Speaker 1: Russian cover, how did those conversations go just like that?
- 6:29Speaker 2: But it isn't not It's like.
- 6:32Speaker 3: It's just we.
- 6:34Speaker 2: That's why we work really well together.
- 6:35Speaker 3: You know, like we see the we see the game
- 6:38Speaker 3: very similar, but we also see the game from different
- 6:41Speaker 3: parts of the field. And sometimes he sees like the
- 6:45Speaker 3: protections and how to attack him. And sometimes I see
- 6:48Speaker 3: one of the guys dealing at that moment in time,
- 6:50Speaker 3: and I can feel that he's hot and I can
- 6:52Speaker 3: feel that he's going and we have good conversations.
- 6:56Speaker 1: Pobe Bryant just seems to be around the What is
- 7:01Speaker 1: it about?
- 7:03Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you know you this team has had
- 7:07Speaker 3: a legacy of ball players, guys that can get the
- 7:09Speaker 3: football and throughout the years, you know, like I feel
- 7:12Speaker 3: like when you think about ball hawks, you think of
- 7:14Speaker 3: the Seattle Seahawks, and I think there's certain players that
- 7:18Speaker 3: sometimes the ball just finds them.
- 7:19Speaker 2: Cobs like that, Like.
- 7:22Speaker 3: He has an innate way to like be in the
- 7:25Speaker 3: right place at the right time. I think there's other
- 7:28Speaker 3: things that come with that. I think good things happen
- 7:30Speaker 3: to those people that run to the ball, those people
- 7:32Speaker 3: that push to the point of attack. Like if you
- 7:35Speaker 3: play like that as a defense, suddenly the ball comes
- 7:37Speaker 3: alive and at those times it's finding him right now.
- 7:41Speaker 3: It has been for the last couple of years.
- 7:43Speaker 1: He added to those techniques on the containing their mobile
- 7:46Speaker 1: quarterbacks is sometimes it's as simple as keeping the outside
- 7:49Speaker 1: arm free. Keep it, just don't commit inside.
- 7:52Speaker 2: Sometimes it's that.
- 7:53Speaker 3: Sometimes it's keeping extension, keeping separation from a player. Separation
- 7:56Speaker 3: allows you to make plays. But when you're playing again
- 8:00Speaker 3: tackle like Tristan Worth's.
- 8:01Speaker 2: A good player.
- 8:02Speaker 3: You know, like you if you stand there and you
- 8:04Speaker 3: try and keep you outside hand free.
- 8:05Speaker 2: And your feet aren't moving, he's gonna clamp you.
- 8:07Speaker 3: So it's like as you go through it, it's kind
- 8:09Speaker 3: of like mesh your nose and being able to do
- 8:12Speaker 3: it when you're fatigued.
- 8:13Speaker 2: It's like those those are the kind of techniques we're
- 8:15Speaker 2: talking about.
- 8:17Speaker 3: It. Guys, you go back to.
- 8:18Speaker 2: The Russian coverage, you can see.
- 8:23Speaker 3: It's I can fit they they're winning, they're winning quickly,
- 8:29Speaker 3: they're winning on edges of players, they're playing off their player.
- 8:32Speaker 3: They you can you can feel that getting off the
- 8:36Speaker 3: ball a little faster than everyone else.
- 8:38Speaker 2: They're just playing like.
- 8:39Speaker 3: It's like when you talk about the flow state and
- 8:41Speaker 3: things like that, you can feel.
- 8:42Speaker 2: When a guy is in that world.
- 8:45Speaker 3: And it's a cool point when you can sit back
- 8:48Speaker 3: as a coach and watch a guy go like that.
- 8:53Speaker 3: I felt like he was like that on Thursday night.
- 8:55Speaker 4: When you're watching a game in real time from the sideline,
- 8:57Speaker 4: are your eyes always on the pass right now?
- 9:00Speaker 3: Used to be? I'd like to train myself not to
- 9:02Speaker 3: be like I felt like when I I came from
- 9:05Speaker 3: Atlanta when I went to Dallas, and I really found
- 9:07Speaker 3: it hard to see the D line when I first
- 9:09Speaker 3: became a D line coach because I was coaching linebackers,
- 9:12Speaker 3: and then I've spent three years doing that, and when
- 9:14Speaker 3: I came here, I found it hard to see everything again.
- 9:16Speaker 3: And I've kind of trained myself through the last year
- 9:19Speaker 3: to kind of so it's not always there.
- 9:21Speaker 2: But yeah, Turners Jones, flow skate, I have to ask
- 9:27Speaker 2: him that. But I feel like he's playing some very
- 9:30Speaker 2: high level football at the moment.
- 9:32Speaker 3: He's controlling and running our defense and that's what we need,
- 9:36Speaker 3: you know. And I feel like when he plays in
- 9:39Speaker 3: between those tackles, he's playing at a very high level.
- 9:42Speaker 4: And then with Mike Morris, what what do you think
- 9:45Speaker 4: is kind of going right with him? Right? Obviously he's
- 9:47Speaker 4: kind of played a couple different spots.
- 9:49Speaker 2: He's competing.
- 9:51Speaker 3: That's why I see like he wants to play and
- 9:54Speaker 3: he's competing, and I feel like it's showing on the field.
- 9:57Speaker 4: Is there like h standard penalty for dropping picks.
- 10:02Speaker 2: That Deran and Julian if that could deal with the
- 10:05Speaker 2: last few weeks. Bull draws with Leslie Frasier every day.
- 10:14Speaker 3: Interception, Yeah, that one that one's talked about in a
- 10:16Speaker 3: defensive unit room. Anything else. Good guys have a great
- 10:21Speaker 3: dis
