• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Everyone doing.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: You talk about their fronts and when those are helpful
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: and what vulnerabilities they might expose.
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: I think it's not really vulnerabilities that they expose when
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: they use for obviously, like if you think about stopping
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: the run game, like logically, the more people you have
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: on the line of scrimmage, the more chance you do.
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: And it's what runs they dictate from there, you know,
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: like where would they go, do they go to the perimeter,
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: where do they attack the attack the sea area, And
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: it's more kind of dictating those runs and understanding what
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: runs you get off those looks.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: Does it make it challenging for linebackers when you change
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: the fronts up front in terms of knowing which which
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: holds to plug?
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: No, not necessarily. It's just it's just basic really really football.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: I think sometimes the things that change it is when
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: you're playing teams that jet and build formations on the run.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: You know, so when they go from having a three
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: by one formation on one side and by the time
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: the ball snap they got to me by one formation.
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: As they know, when you're in zones, they want to
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: change your fits on the run, bring people into the
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: fit with gap schemes and there's some of the confusions
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: that can happen.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Sometimes.
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: We know what Christian McCaffrey looks like in the run
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: game without him, how was.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: Jordan Mason a different type? He's a downhill physical back
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: and like, I think, you cannot sleep on this guy.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: You see how many touches he's had, You see how
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: well he's doing. Like, I think, you have to understand
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: that he plays a his style has an identity, the
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: way he runs the ball, and we have to respond to.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: That two high sets.
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: It seems like the last couple week, especially Detroit, they
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: were creating extra gay after bable tight ends out there.
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: What do you think is the key to being able
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: to slow down the right games when you have them
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: one less defenders.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: To stand I think at times one of them is
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: playing off multiple gaps. And then the second thing is
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: people have to shed blocks and finish on the ball,
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: you know, like as part of that too, but that's
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: part of the process of playing split safety defense. You're
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: you're kind of you're robbing Peter to people and you're
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: doing the same in the past game in the run
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: if you go single high, you know, and you've got
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: to understand where the areas of deficiency.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Are there? Which strengths you've seen in Trevis Gibson and
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: how you may be to use them?
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: Physical Edgsell you know like straight line player that can
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: set edges, power player that he has some pretty good
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: counter moves, edge moves, but I really see him only
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: that first and second down row and like playing edges.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: Have you see.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: The number saying yeah, definitely.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: I think it's easy to talk about that when you're
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: not doing well, you know, because you focus on areas
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: that you need to grow on. But I've seen growth
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: in these groups, this group week by week, you know,
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: like after the Denver game, I saw growth after this game.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: You see accountability, you see growth, you see areas people respond,
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: they they become I would say, I don't think they
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: put more effort in. I just think you have a
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: more awareness of the things you need to fix in
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: certain areas and when you highlight those areas. And the
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: thing I have to respect about this group is every
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: time someone highlights them, it's just about the solution. It's
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: just about how how can we grow in that area
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: and how can we get better? And that's what I'm
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: really proud of those guys about.
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: See any other words, a lot of prestat motions to
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: the gas going out for the last couple of years.
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: But from a defensive perspective, semantically, what is the toughest
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: part about that? When you're playing a offensive enlightened coach
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: that excels at creating those extra amps.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: And I think just what it does to people on
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: each level, Like the closer you get to the ball,
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: it kind of it can cloud your eyes and you
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: can catch movement.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: You might have a key, but it can catch movement, pour.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: Your eyes out, create space, not necessarily you out of
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: your gap, but just create space.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: I think their masters are doing that.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: And on second level and third level it creates angles
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: for the offensive lineman in the run game and communication issues.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: But they do a great job of that.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: And it kind of has flown through the league like
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: flowing through the league, so it's like you see it
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: on a on a on a much more weekly basis.
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: Now a gap discipline of the fixed eyes is the
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: key to what you just said.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: Definitely, like when you're playing in the run game specifically
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: what you're asking about. Definitely, your keys, especially up front,
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: will really set you.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: Three challenges with Kyle Shanahan offenses in the last couple
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: of years. Anything you learned from that the key to
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: slowing down his style of offense.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: There's a few things I've learned, but yeah, and to
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: be honest with they've done every time I think back
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: when I when you play those guys, it's such a
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: competitive game. It's that it's an exciting game, you know,
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: like I really it's not that you give value to
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: different games, but I really enjoy playing these games or
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: not playing coaching in these games.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: But because of the style they play with.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: You know, you've plays with the goal for Drone Baker
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: and what overall did you bring to the defense?
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: Be back last week, it's great to weving back, you know,
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: like it's it's funny like you you kind of like
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: you don't when someone comes back, you forget how long
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: they've been.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Out for, so they're just back.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: And and when you saw like the more comfortable he
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: got in again. I was just speaking to him after practices.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: You felt him making tackles at the start of the game,
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: and obviously he made a great play on the goal line.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: By the end of the game he was making more
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: like production. Please, And I think as he gets more
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: comfortable in the defense here.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Get more time.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: He's just missed a lot of time, and it's just
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: going through that process understand how his role fits in
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: his defense and now getting his eyes and his kind
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: of his legs back underneath him.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Some of the same issues you saw.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: You know, you just asked a question about split safety
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: runs that's shown up two weeks in a row. That's
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: something we had to fix. So just some of the
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: visible things you're seeing there.
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: What do you feel the mind backers, the tiger's hand
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: and your way of company, the system, how do you
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: feel about where those guys are attitude.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Of what happened with that?
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: It's just like growth every week, Like it's it's where
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: they're at, and then where the whole defense is at
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: in a new system, you know, Like I think this
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: in this league is about constant growth and constant improvement.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: You know, like we're we just came out of week four.
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: In week five, it's it's every week we've got a
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: self scout, look at ourselves, how we grow and whatever
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: is do we need to fix? This is not exactly Oh,
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: I don't want to put a judgment on someone to say, oh,
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: this is what they are. They're not that yet you know,
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: like every week this is there's certain things we have
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: to improve on, and it's obvious you guys are asking
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: me the questions about it. But I think we're shining
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: the light on it and we're pushing.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: The obvious things that you'd want to change that you
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: can't change in this kind of schedule where the games
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: are so compacted together.
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't say change. I think this is a really
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: good question. I think to me, like these games on
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: Thursday night are about energy and execution, you know, like
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: it's is.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: We got to get that.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: We got to do a great job of coaching the
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: guys so they can play free on Thursday night. It's
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: like there is a short amount of time, so what
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: can they do and what can they do really well?
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Kind of things change in the back end.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: If you don't have recount Thursday.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: We'll see on that. But there'll be a couple of
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: guys in. I'll leave that to Mike to deal with
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: and answer your questions on that. But like really and truthfully,
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: the guys that come in will just have to step up.
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: Like I'll let Mike talk about that one.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Why did you think he obviously have to throw into
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: a pretty touch too. Yeah, I don't think we never.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: I think he handled it great and you know he
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: made that play on third down.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: I think.
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: You as a as a young player or any player
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: as a backup, you have to be ready all the time,
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: you know, like this league, like I keep saying it,
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: but it's just it is what it is. It's and
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: it's an ever evolving things. Someone's gonna get hurt. You
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: need to go in. You need to be prepared. Why
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: do we do walkthroughs? Why do we do practice? Why
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: do you get your reps? Why do you get mental reps?
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: Because of those moments and he came in and he
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: made a play that allowed us to be in the
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: game at that moment in time.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: So you've got to be You've got to look at
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: a positive light.
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: Feel that how do you man somebody's from a game
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: where respective because the window.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: How do you left like your efficiency trying to get Just.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: Like I answer that question, it's about creating a plan
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: that is the guys can execute an extremely high level,
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: you know, like it's it's really that you know, and
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: making sure they understand, they understand their communication and we
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: can go out there and play really fast and play
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: our style.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Do you or Carl Scott talked with Trey Brown or
• 8:35

  Speaker 3: Is a game where you're in a one on one situation,
• 8:44
