• 0:36
  Speaker 2: where maybe you can jump start.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: The battle, we hope. So you know pass for us.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Uh, we talk about it and we work on it,
• 0:46

• 0:58
  Speaker 1: To pop.
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: Those scenes.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: Is that.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: Other team? Really you look at certain situations where they
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: run the ball and it might be you know, each week,
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: teams are different. They had different tendencies so you just
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: try to focus in on those But at the end
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: of the day, if they're committed to it, we know that,
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: so we're gonna be committed to trying to stop it.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah that you don't you haven't had, but uh is
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: when you have to bond.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: It really is, really is.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: Anytime you're at full strength, that's when you're you're at
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: your best.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: And uh d.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: Ham does a great job of pushing the pocket for
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: us alongside of Roy and it just enables everybody to
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: perform better because he's pushing the pocket and the guys
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: are getting pressure from the outside. So, yeah, him not
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: being there, you know, is a factor that we can
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: you know, hopefully when he's back healthy, get corrected and
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: closer to getting a couple other guys back to maybe
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: at the one and Antonio Johnson, how can those guys
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: off the defense.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: We're we'll have a plan for him once they get back.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: It's just right now, you work with the guys you
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: have and you understand that down the line, like d
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Ham will be back, Smooth'll be back, and we'll get
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: a couple of guys back, Greg Junior possibly, so just
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: guys that have opportunities to play then you know we'll
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: be able to use them and you know, find different
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: ways to work them into the scheme.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: The Sunday, what happened there, you feel like you figured
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: that out now.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: Really thinking about communication is you have to be on
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: the same page. And if you go back and you
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: run that play over again and you have those same
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: two guys out there, they'll get it corrected. They'll get
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: it corrected. But that was a time where we didn't
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: get the call to each other, and you know you
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: can't have that in the secondary. So we go back
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: out and we talk about communication, talk about when you
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: say to someone you make sure you have eye contact.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: And we've played.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: Together enough in the back end where we understand that
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: communication is really important. We all have to be on
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: the same page. We just got to get it done.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: Are there enough when you look at that defense?
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Last week was kind of a stumble to the start
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: of the season.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: Is there enough there where you feel pretty confident that
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: you guys bounce back.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: To see, Oh, back to work, that's how we do it.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Back to work.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Last week we didn't perform where we should perform, and
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: come back in here yesterday had a great practice and
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: telling the guys, prepare like you're going to uh prepare
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: every week and understand the mistakes we made, get those corrected,
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: and get ready to go this week.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: About Chad, what kind of losses it having sidelines.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: For a little bit.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Anytime you're not a full strength, it's a loss, you know,
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: because like early on in the season, Chad was spelling
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: Devin his spelling Fourier. He was getting reps in there.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: You know, because it's early on in the season, you're
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: not in true game for him yet. But to have
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: someone like Devin devn is a guy that you count on.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: To make plays.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: He's long, he's mobile, he's comfortable in the system, and
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: when he's out there, you just have a comfort that
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: he's gonna be able to make a play here or there.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: And you know Chad the same way. We just know Chad,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: We know his skill set. Him and Devon are very
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: similar and they're very different. So both of them do
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: well for us out on the field.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Are you a.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: Little bit apprehensive about the past for us being able
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: to improve without he wants to Hamilton coming back a way,
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: you feel like, just get jump started without having those
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: guys back here.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: No, the guys we have that are out there.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: That's who we have, and we're gonna go out there
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: and with those guys, go out there and execute the
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: game plan and we understand that what the how important
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: past rush is and just like uh communication, you have
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: to be all on the same page. Just like when
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: you're resting the passer, everyone has to be on the
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: same page.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Being able to get after the quarterback.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: You have to look at how maybe you're using and
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Josh and try and see if you can put them
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: in better situations will be successful. Well, we look at
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: that every week and we have a plan and we
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: talk about the plan and we you know, coach it
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: up and we try to strategize against each tackle or
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: each guard and just go out there.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: And when you're one on ones.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: That's the thing when you get opportunity, when you're one
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: on ones and they're working on it, they're doing it,
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: so we're ready for the improvement, ready to see the improvement.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: This one needs a little bit more to instance. This is.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Right now where where we're at, the way we feel
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: right now, dot matter who we're playing, the next one
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: is always the most important, especially after a loss last week.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: It's you know, you got to get that bad taste
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: out of your mouth,
