Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Now we had a we had a huge win. Uh Saturday.
- 0:02Speaker 1: I was in my bed, I mean my bed, my couch,
- 0:04Speaker 1: right at twelve, right until three fifty when we beat
- 0:07Speaker 1: perdue at home. A big win. Um last after last
- 0:13Speaker 1: week game, a lot of the guys that second talked
- 0:14Speaker 1: about communication issues. What did you guys do in practice
- 0:17Speaker 1: this past week and how did that improve yesterday? Obviously
- 0:19Speaker 1: communication was great because of the game. Yeah, I think
- 0:24Speaker 1: we took away where we felt short last game in
- 0:27Speaker 1: terms of communication and stepped it up in practice this week.
- 0:30Speaker 1: We weren't horrible in last game, but it was some
- 0:32Speaker 1: critical moments where we didn't get it across. So we
- 0:34Speaker 1: talked about eye contact every play and it carried over.
- 0:38Speaker 1: How much of it is on you to be the
- 0:39Speaker 1: communicator back there? I mean is is most of that
- 0:42Speaker 1: on on you? Yeah, I mean it's a sair job,
- 0:46Speaker 1: but it's on me identitive. If communication doesn't get across,
- 0:49Speaker 1: you look at me and say why didn't you communicate?
- 0:51Speaker 1: You know, I mean I gotta kind of start it
- 0:53Speaker 1: most of the time. First career pick. Do you have
- 0:56Speaker 1: the ball that you keep in yeah, yeah, it's in
- 0:58Speaker 1: my locker right now, hucked away, locked up, so no
- 1:01Speaker 1: way I could touch it and I plan on I
- 1:04Speaker 1: think most people like paint it or something after you
- 1:06Speaker 1: get it, so I'm trying to get that done. What
- 1:11Speaker 1: was up the turnover? Do you guys have like a
- 1:13Speaker 1: turnover chain? After I had no idea where that came from,
- 1:17Speaker 1: like yeah, yeah, Ray Ray took it from the crowd
- 1:20Speaker 1: and he was like forcing it over my helmet and
- 1:22Speaker 1: I'm like, Bro, I just hold it because it's not
- 1:24Speaker 1: making it over there. But yeah, I had a chain
- 1:26Speaker 1: in my hand somehow. have to. It's just gonna think
- 1:30Speaker 1: to be can change is season. Once you guys started
- 1:32Speaker 1: getting the picts and forces bumbles and this is it
- 1:35Speaker 1: gonna mushroom, so to speak. From my experience, that's kind
- 1:39Speaker 1: of how it goes. Like once it starts, it just
- 1:41Speaker 1: takes one person to kind of like break the seal
- 1:43Speaker 1: and then they start flooding in. I feel like that's
- 1:45Speaker 1: that's my experience. With turnovers. Six stakeaways this year, I
- 1:48Speaker 1: mean only three fewer, and you guys had all the
- 1:51Speaker 1: last year and you guys know coming into the season
- 1:53Speaker 1: you had the potential will be that kind of defense
- 1:54Speaker 1: you can just consistently get the ball. Yeah, I mean
- 1:57Speaker 1: we have that type of personnel. Everyone's background is takeaways,
- 1:59Speaker 1: like from front to back is like everyone Josh Allen
- 2:02Speaker 1: sack fumbles. You Got Devin Lloyd who has ball skills,
- 2:05Speaker 1: and so we got a bunch of guys like that.
- 2:06Speaker 1: So you expect it to happen. Get a good example
- 2:09Speaker 1: of how pass Russian coverage can kind of impact each other.
- 2:12Speaker 1: Just to coverage. You're not kind of helping get some
- 2:14Speaker 1: of the situations where you guys can go get the ball? Yeah, absolutely.
- 2:17Speaker 1: I mean we watched it on film just now and
- 2:18Speaker 1: you can see like every time there was a big
- 2:20Speaker 1: play on the ball, it was because there's pressure up front.
- 2:23Speaker 1: How much competitiveness is there amongst the defensive group on
- 2:26Speaker 1: WHO's going to get those takeaways? I mean there's got
- 2:28Speaker 1: to be a little friendly trash talking now that you
- 2:30Speaker 1: got one race and got one towards the guys that
- 2:33Speaker 1: they haven't got their hands on yet. Yeah, it's a
- 2:35Speaker 1: little bit. It's always a little bit attention in that aspect,
- 2:37Speaker 1: but it's friendly. It's definitely friendly. Um, I think Tyson
- 2:40Speaker 1: that brought it up, like okay, who like who? We're
- 2:42Speaker 1: in a race now and I'm like just tell Bro
- 2:45Speaker 1: but well, yeah, but you know who have, who you guys? Oh, yeah, yeah,
- 2:52Speaker 1: we uh, but you know, it's it's only week two. So,
- 2:55Speaker 1: I mean we're fortunate to have as many as we have.
- 2:57Speaker 1: You know, right now. What sort of personality is I mean,
- 3:00Speaker 1: when you start getting the takeaways, defense kind of starts
- 3:03Speaker 1: to develop their own personalities and things like that. I mean,
- 3:05Speaker 1: what sort of personality is this group kind of really
- 3:08Speaker 1: developing at this appointment? It's only two games in the season,
- 3:10Speaker 1: but pitch a shutout one week two. That's pretty good. Yeah,
- 3:13Speaker 1: I think. I mean that's, like I said, that's part
- 3:15Speaker 1: of our identity. That's kind of how we see ourselves.
- 3:17Speaker 1: Is Like a defense that takes the ball the way and, Um,
- 3:19Speaker 1: that can rely on that. Like if you have some
- 3:21Speaker 1: bleeding on the field where you know you getting a
- 3:23Speaker 1: drive going, we can end it right away with the takeaway,
- 3:25Speaker 1: and I think that's, uh, what we're looking forward to
- 3:27Speaker 1: doing and how we molding ourselves. Were disappointed was this
- 3:31Speaker 1: team overall this week? I mean thirteen penalties. Last week
- 3:34Speaker 1: I think just three. We wiped out a bunch of
- 3:36Speaker 1: the long weeks. I think it's about focus, Um, and
- 3:39Speaker 1: being in practice putting yourself in a situation like these.
- 3:42Speaker 1: Reps really matter and, Um, I think that's I think
- 3:44Speaker 1: that's the best way to limit penalties like we did.
- 3:49Speaker 1: Peterson gambles on fourth dam as much as he does
- 3:52Speaker 1: the defense. Take that as a confidence that, okay, we
- 3:54Speaker 1: don't get this, those guys we're gonna be down deep
- 3:57Speaker 1: and those guys are gonna make it fun. Absolutely, I
- 3:58Speaker 1: love it. I'm like when, when it's went through, we're
- 4:00Speaker 1: all like go, go, go, go, like because it's just like,
- 4:03Speaker 1: you know, we we believe that we're gonna stop the offense, obviously,
- 4:05Speaker 1: and then we also have a ton of faith in
- 4:06Speaker 1: our offense that they're gonna get the first down. You know,
- 4:09Speaker 1: it's good. It's good for just telling you is a defense.
- 4:12Speaker 1: I trust you guys that if this doesn't work, you're
- 4:15Speaker 1: gonna have them deep and you're gonna make it fun.
- 4:17Speaker 1: Does he tell us that you? Oh, yeah, yeah, no,
- 4:21Speaker 1: most most definitely. Most definitely. That's definitely the the kind
- 4:24Speaker 1: of what I received from that is, like, you know,
- 4:26Speaker 1: they're maybe forty five. Not a great place to be
- 4:29Speaker 1: going for fourth down if you look at it from
- 4:31Speaker 1: the outside in. But Um, you know, when you got
- 4:33Speaker 1: a defense that you trust. You you're comfortable doing stuff
- 4:36Speaker 1: like that. What was the energy like in the stadium
- 4:38Speaker 1: yesterday before it being the first home game, division game,
- 4:42Speaker 1: and just how did the fans kind of react? They
- 4:46Speaker 1: reacted really well. I mean I feel like they got
- 4:47Speaker 1: behind US early after that first takeaway and they rode
- 4:49Speaker 1: through roll with us throughout the whole game, even throughout
- 4:52Speaker 1: the rain. I feel like people was all hiding in
- 4:54Speaker 1: the back. I feel like there was all still outside
- 4:56Speaker 1: cheering us on. So it was dope. It was good
- 4:58Speaker 1: to see what sort of game was from Mike Colbell.
- 5:01Speaker 1: It's only a second game as a defensive coordinator. That's
- 5:05Speaker 1: a big first one. We talked about it to me,
- 5:07Speaker 1: you know, we gave him a game ball. It was
- 5:08Speaker 1: like shut out, first win. That's a big time. So
- 5:10Speaker 1: shout out to coach. He did a really good job react.
- 5:13Speaker 1: gave him the game ball. He's just smiling and trying
- 5:15Speaker 1: to be humble, but uh, we know Um that. You
- 5:18Speaker 1: know it's it's a big accomplishment for the first time.
- 5:20Speaker 1: D C. We do care if they if they had
- 5:25Speaker 1: gotten in late and it wasn't shut out. was that
- 5:27Speaker 1: like we have to get this shot out. Now we
- 5:28Speaker 1: had to get that shut out. I think Um, somebody
- 5:30Speaker 1: that brought to me, like don't you start taking out
- 5:33Speaker 1: the starters, like like my uncle or somebody asked me
- 5:35Speaker 1: that and I was like not when you're trying to
- 5:36Speaker 1: get a shut out like you're trying. Once you you
- 5:38Speaker 1: that close to leaving zero on the board, you you
- 5:40Speaker 1: don't want to give that up. You got pretty good
- 5:43Speaker 1: quarterback on the charges that you have to start preparing
- 5:46Speaker 1: for at this point. When you think about Justin Herbert
- 5:49Speaker 1: and you think about some of the receivers and weapons
- 5:51Speaker 1: they have on that offense, what kind of goes through
- 5:53Speaker 1: your mind? A big week for the secondary Um, you
- 5:57Speaker 1: got a lot of weapons on the outside and a
- 5:58Speaker 1: quarterback that can make all the rold. So is that simple?
- 6:01Speaker 1: I mean you come across that every week in the league,
- 6:03Speaker 1: but this week especially. Thanks appreciate Johnson.
