• 0:02
  Speaker 1: It's definitely, uh frustrating because uh yeah, they get to
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: thinking and dumping down the field. I mean a lot
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: of time you see when that when I got into
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: the lead. When you see a quarterback doing that, you
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: know it's gonna be probably a longer drive if they
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: execute what they're supposed to execute, and you gotta be
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: able to stand up in the red zone, which we didn't.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: You know, do I think we're three and four three
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: or four in the red zone. But when they're coming
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: out and doing that, you know, we just we saw that.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: We think we're good at the first two drives, but
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: something to get adjusted to, especially when they kept on
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: going tempo, you know, keep based on the field or
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: keep a nickel set on the field that they thought
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: they liked and trying to get get us going out
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: of that. How much do you expect to see more
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: of that moving forward? And you know, what are you
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: gonna what are you guys gonna do from a if
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: you think of it as a chess game to kind
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: of counteract that. Um, we'll talk about that in the room.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: I definitely expect to see tempo at some point in
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: the game going forward. Um, I think we saw some
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: temple a little bit earlier in this season. But uh, well,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: we'll be able to have a game plan for it,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: whether I have a certain set of calls or UM
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: in different formations or different personnels that we're in. I'm
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: sure that's what we'll get to UM being able to
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: rattle off some you know, pressures if we need it,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: or you know, man and man, or getting the zone
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: different zones that we ever need. Everybody just be on
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: the same page and getting that communication out quickly. That's
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: that's really all it is to it. It's been a
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: rough month of October. What's your confidence level that you
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: guys can fix the problems and be stronger heading in
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: the November. And I got commidence in the boys because
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: that's everybody's UM kind of signed up to do. Uh,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: obviously we gotta do it. And that's you know, there's
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: one thing to's here and say, you know, I want
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: to fix this, and that it's really how we start
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: fixing this and that UM. So really we'll start on
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Wednesday practice everybody being on that same page and and
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: really gearing up to win on Sunday. But it really
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: starts that Wednesday practice and everybody knows that just trusting
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: that assist and it's really you know, getting out there
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: and doing it with differences. Not having there. I like
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: him in there. Uh Um, you know, for first of all,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: its depth at that position. You can see. Uh actually,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna talk about them, Like just playing a
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: full game is a three whatever pound man every snap,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: I'm sure that that takes a toll on them, but
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: so just having a rotation. But then in the in
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: the run game, I'm sure you know, he takes up gaps,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: kind of dominates his one on ones. Um, that's just
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: the player he is. But you know, we have a
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: next man up thing or system here, like whoever's in
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: the game. I commidence to them to win their one
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: on ones too, but I definitely like having them in there.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: We talked a lot about the turnovers to start the year,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: and you guys kept saying they coming bunches. The past
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: couple of weeks, they've kind of dried up. How do
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: you kind of get back to the well, we gotta
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: take a take advantage of the opportunity to come. Remember
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: they had a fumble. They did have a fumble and
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: we didn't get it. So it's that's a one to thing, Um,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: we gotta run in the ball better, we gotta you know,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: the ball is everything in that in that situation of
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: balls oxygen, You need oxygen to breeze, so you want
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: to breathe get the ball. Um. A couple of balls
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: left up in the air we didn't get to, but
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: we gotta take advantage of the ones they come. Uh,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: get back to that. To the team this morning, everything
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: was at some point someone's gotta make them play. But
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: how do you guys bounce wanting to be that guy
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: wanting to make that play with the do your job,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: don't get out of the position type of things. Yeah,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: I mean I can only speak for off defense. Um,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: you know we kind of all get that. Or I
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: gotta make a play, gotta make a play. But you know,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: the maturity part of it is do my job to
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: make the play. Like I'm gonna do my job first
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: and then when that ball ends up in my gap,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: then I can make a play on that ball. Or
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna hit this. I'm gonna get off the ball
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: on this rush. I'm gonna stay on side on this
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: rush and then do everything perfectly, you know, set up
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: something or hit the quarterback. Then all of a sudden,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: it's Aaron passed and we can catch the ball and stuff,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: but you know, match our coverage tighter. Um, you know,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: pass off the routes better. It's really doing our job.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: And then when you do that at hand in hand,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: the players come to you. But it's when the plays
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: there we gotta make up. Yeah, but we all have
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: to have that competence in the rooms, not just one
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: person make the play. When everybody's doing their job, you
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: know you're seeing one on ones is winning that matchup
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: or making the player that comes. How do you feel
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: like the team's preparation has changed from week to week
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: this season? I feel like we prepare Um, the plan
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: is all the same. Obviously sometimes you know, we're we're
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: human beings. Sometimes will feel you know, up and down
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: and practice week and practice and stuff. But uh, my
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: job is coming here and get everybody on that. The
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: same motivation that we were on the in the beginning
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: of the season, trying to prove doubt is wrong or whatever,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: trying to prove ourselves right, trying to prove that we're
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: a good team. Um, I think we are who we
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: put on tape, and I don't think we put great
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: stuff on tape. Obviously there's great stuff that went on tape,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: but you know the end results and you know what
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: you can draw from if there was not that great
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: stuff on tape. So it's getting back to proving, you know,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: we're that team that we can be. How much of
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: yesterday was is a lack of communication just on those
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: crossing routes and things of that nature. How tough was that? Uh?
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: I don't I think we knew the plays that we
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: were in out. I don't think we knew that they're
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: gonna hit the cross routs the whole game. Obviously when
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: they started doing it the whole game. Um, there's adjustments
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: that we should have had, maybe just in whatever coverage
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: it was to come back with. And I know I
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: missed one, Um must have been third quarter, But you know,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: whatever coverage ring where when they saw us a specific formation,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: especially when they're going to hurry up, they only have
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: so many places that they can do. So when we
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: see that formation again expecting the same routes, that kind
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: of just drained us out the front side, Like I
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: don't even know if they're running real routes, expecting to
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: hear there the lower, the high crosser. Um, just coming
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: to match with it. But that's something that we see
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: on film and we know we can adjust to now.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: But the learning thing, what do you have to do
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: to sort of counteract those crossing rounds? Like what is
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: the deffense have to do? Um? A match there? If
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: you want to get in like football, you could play
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: man a man off your in his zone. You kind
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: of gotta match the backside when they flood the front side. Um, yeah,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: or you get get to the quarterback and tackle for it,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: thought her, Thanks playing forciate appreciate, appreciate
