  Speaker 1: What do you what do you sort of need to
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: see from your leaders on defense this week? I mean
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: last week it's somebody there was a little bit of confusion,
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: things like that, guys going down and then all the struggles.

• 0:37
  Speaker 3: Let's go out there and you know, let's play.
• 0:39
  Speaker 4: Do you know where some of the confusion or communication
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: issues were coming from home one day night?
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: I think it's uh the crowd noise and it's a
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: good thing. As a defensive coach, as a defensive player,
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: you want it to be as loud as it can be.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: And we just have to do a better job of
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: communicating and get tighter in the huddle, echo to call
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: and you know, go from there.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Is that normal do I mean at at home you
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: they crowd noise deep and that's an advantage and it's
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: it was a disadvantage at some points for you guys Sunday.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Or or Monday.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: So what is what do you have to do to
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: fix that? And why did that happen?
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: I guess No, it's an advantage. Believe me.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: You want the crowd as loud as it can be,
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: and it's our job to communicate. We have to get
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: in a huddle, get tighter, make sure we echo the calls,
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: and get to call to everybody.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: And has nothing to do with crowd noise. It's just us.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: We understand that it should be loud at home.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: It will be loud at home, and we just have
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: to handle it.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Was it just a situation I guess where the guys
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: weren't used to it.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: I mean it just feels rare to right.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: Any anytime things don't happen the way you expect them
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: to happen, it throws you off. And that's what happened,
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: and we got thrown off by Normally you can hear
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: the call, Normally you understand the call, and that situation,
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: guys wouldn't able to get the call. You could see
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: them trying to get in a huddle tighter, and that's
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: what we have to do.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Get in a huddle.
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: Tighter, make sure everybody had the call, get on the
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: same page. Let's go play. But we want the crowd
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: as loud as it can be. That's that's what you
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: wanted the defense. You want to feed off the crowd.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: They did a great job Monday night, and you know
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: we'll hold up our end of the bargain.
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: Frey can't go for you turning in keys to Greg Jr.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: We have a couple of options. Buster can play Greg Junior,
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: so we have a couple of guys that can go
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: out there. Antonio did a good job when he filled
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: in other night, so we have options.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: We have young guys back there.
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: That again, next man up, Let's get ready to go.
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: Talk about Buster, Greg and Antonio.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: What they do well out there? Well, you look at it.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: Start off with Buster.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: He's come in and played really well outside, got opportunities,
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: made big plays on the ball. And you go with Buster.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: He got injured early. Now he's back into the mix
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: and you can see him getting comfortable out there.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: He's playing a little bit more of these last couple
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: of weeks, so excited about him.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: And then Antonio again, he was injured early, but he
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: has a skill set. He's long, he's to blitz, He
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: able to get his hands on the receiver. So all
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: three of those guys have a chance to play, and
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: they will play, and we're excited to see him.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: What's gonna be the challenge this week against Cleveland? I mean,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: obviously they're a pretty run heavy team. You guys pride
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: yourself are being to stop the run. Uh, it didn't
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: work out.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: On Monday, But what's sort of gonna be the challenge
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: this week? Win? That's it?
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: At the defense, we have to understand that, you know,
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: we get another opportunity to go.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: Out there and help this team get the victory.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: And that's the only thing we're focused on. You know,
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: all the other stuff will let it take care of itself.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: But it's good a short week because it's time to
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: get back out there. It's not a good feeling, and
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: you know we're trying to get rid of it.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: How surprising was defense team? And I normally as where
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: you guys.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: In your hat on big surprise, big surprise, Uh, you know,
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: get another opportunity to go back out there and do it.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: But again, the guys understand that what we ask of them,
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: they're able to do it. It's just another opportunity for
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: us go out there and do it.
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: You know, they're almost a full second season that I mean,
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: we're kind of grows and the leaps, and you've seen
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: from them now that they're you know, really testing batters
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: at this point.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: You can see throughout the year.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: The maturity they're able to understand plays, react to things quicker.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: You see the pass for us uh Treyvon had a
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: half one the other night. He's able to push the
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: pocket and Devin he's seeing things faster. But at the
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: end of the day, they just have to continue to
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: do that. The more they do it, the better they'll get,
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: the more play they'll make for us. And you know,
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: we're excited for those two guys that continue to progress
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: the way they have. You think we won right, didn't
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: get in our gaps, didn't tackle as well as we
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: needed to, just a bunch of things and you know
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: it's our job to get that corrected.
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: When there are questions about the quarterback, you can be facing.
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: How difficult does that because I mean, the guys that
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: they're choosing between almost are a little bit different, like
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: Joe Flacco, veteran guy plenty of tape out there, or
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: maybe the rookie if he's ready.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: It's difficult, but we go back and we prepare for both.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: Understand one guy's a little bit more mobile, other guys
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: veteran being able to throw the ball all over the place,
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: So we understand that it's a challenge. But whoever they
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: throw out there, we have to be ready for that challenge.
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: It's more about us. We got to make sure that
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: we're ready to do what we need to do and
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: get the job done.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: I watch evolution, I guess have you seen him from Josh
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Allen this year? It seems like he's taking this game
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: to another level.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: He really has. He's playing at a high level.
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: And you look at the work you put in this
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: offseason and just going back in the focus, the way
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: he's focused. He's going in, coming in, understanding the game plan,
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: understanding the rest playing and he's going out there and
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: he's performing. Last year we had an issue with miss
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: sacks not getting a guy on the ground. He's getting
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: a guy on the ground and his numbers are what
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: they are
