• 0:13
  Speaker 2: fortune happened in practice earlier. Yeah, what about Cam, Cam Fine,
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: he's fine, he's good. Yeah.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: You said earlier in the week about needing to coach
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: the cover two better or do you feel like you
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: guys are able to make those corrections in those strides
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: this week or something like that? When it on Monday,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: we have to coach the play better. You were like,
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: I never say this, but we need to coach the
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: play better.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Oh was I?
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: I don't know what I was referencing to a touchdown that.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Oh oh yeah, no, yeah, that that's something.
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: That's something that uh again it it depends on the
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: game plan too, depends on if you have a lot
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: of cover too in your plan or not that that
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: particular week we did, and and obviously those are situations.
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: It's just no, I guess it'd be like our short
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: yardage or fourth and one last week too. We gotta
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: we gotta just teach that and and coo toes up
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: a little bit better when we're in those situations.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: Again, how do you feel about this week or probe
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: just coming out with the loss. How they how they
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: sort of responded.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: The players, I I feel good, they feel good. You know.
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: It's obviously the number one thing for me is the
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: the just getting them back.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: Physically because of the heat and and all.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: That, you know, this week, and so making sure that
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: that the bodies will be fresh for for Sunday. And
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: but I think mentally the guys are you know, they've
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: turned the page. They're obviously focused on this week and
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: and and you know, trying to trying to bounce back.
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: Outside of Darnell's avage, do you expect all the other
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: guys on the injury board to suit up?
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Tyler la See, Dana.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Thomas, Kemp Johnson.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Yes, are you excited to play in the Trevor Bank Stadium?
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: I like it ever Bank?
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: But how much do you how do you think uh,
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: hanging on the Browns tackle situation? Does it even think
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: about altering your game plan or not just the way
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: you where you attack your offense?
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: You know, I don't.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: I don't think so. I listen, you gotta you gotta
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: still go out and play. And whoever's out there for them,
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: whoever's out there for us. I mean they they're they're
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: not gonna change. We're not gonna change. I just think
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: you have to go execute and play and study the
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: man that you're you know, going up against, and and
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: study his his tendencies.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: I think that's the most important thing.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: It's now once you get into the game, if if, if,
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: situations arise, you can obviously alter and change and do
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: do different things. But I think going into it, you
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: just stick to your stick to your game plan and
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: and you know, trust that what you've done this week
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: is is enough to get the job done.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: There are fluctuations in the first two weeks the NFL
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: season between what a team can look like each week.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: I think, so I think what you're seeing too is
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: seeing you know, with injury too. You know, with injury,
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: things change and and teams listen, teams aren't they're not
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: in September where they want to be in December and January.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: So you know, you're just everybody's kind of working through
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: those things. And and you know we're doing that as well,
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: and you know, and you're you're just you just you
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: just try to improve each week.
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: With that furtomponent condition, you think you see what they're
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: what they look like in week one.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: And then I think too, it goes back to if
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: you're going to game plan, I think you just got
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: to look at the coordinator who you're who you're scheming against,
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: the same way that they're looking at us, you know,
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: and and I think you go off of those tendencies.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: And again it depends too, you know, you get into
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: the game and they may they may sometimes like just
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: flip it to our side. If we're in a situation
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: where we need to alter something than what we've shown
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: on film, that makes sense that then we would alter
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: it during the week, right, So same way our opponent,
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: if there's an injury over there, they may have to
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: alter something that we haven't seen during the week. And
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: those are just the adjustments you have to make in game.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: You've talked about last year, us are getting confidence and starting.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: I know it's a new defensive staff, but just seeing
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: that from him, how much offense did they give you.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: Just an him being a spot like this, Yeah, it's
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: it's a lot of confidence. And you know, I can't
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: can't say enough good things. He's done a good he's
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: done a nice job. You know, when he's been in there,
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: whether he's started or came in, you know, off of
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: the bench, gets it, gets a you know, gets an opportunity,
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: you know, this week to play a lot, and and
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: just continues to grow as a young player.
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: As someone who's seen this game from so many different perspective,
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: perspectives and lenses. Can you even begin into sort of
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: I don't know, I guess try to get into the
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: head of Tua once he gets once this whole situation
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: is resolves, how long you'll miss whatever about staying in
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: the game, not staying in the game, just having a
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: potentially a big decision like that, how you weigh.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: All of that, you know, obviously I don't know.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: The whole situation obviously is what you what you see
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: on on TV and what what happened. But I think
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: you know, if it happened to want to say it's
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: one of our guys, right, I mean, I think you
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: have to you have to be very careful and and
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: do the right thing for the player. I think that's
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: the most important thing. And and it's it's part of
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: the game that that obviously, you know, we're trying to
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: to remove. I just I just don't know if you
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: can fully remove it because of the you know, the
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: the nature of these hits. But I think I think
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: you you just have to continue to think about the
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: player and the health and safety of the player and
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: making sure that they're one hundred one thousand percent healthy,
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: you know, And those are just decisions you know that
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: I think personally, you know, as a player, you have
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: to you have to consider you know, as you as
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: you think about you know, I think, as you think
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: about your career and you think about, you know, wanting
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: to play. I mean, and that's the thing about it
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: is is everybody wants to play, and they love this
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: game so much that and they give so much to
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: it that you know, when things like this happen, it just,
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: you know, reality kind of hits a little bit, you know,
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: and and and it just shows the human nature of
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: or the human side of our sport.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Well, Deshaun Watson's mobility and athleticism, does that impact any
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: of the coaching points or how you have to defend
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: him this week?
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: Well? Yeah, I mean you have to necessarily you have to.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: One as you study him from a defensive perspective, study him,
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: how he and where he likes to scramble, which side
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: does he like to to his throwing side to the
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: you know, his back door side, up the up the middle,
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: you know. And so it's when you put your I
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: think your rush package together, just understanding all of that
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: and and you know, when you get opportunities to tackle him,
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: you got to tackle him, you know, and get him
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: on the ground because he he can be elusive and
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: and get out of the pocket. And if you rush
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: too high, you know they're gonna step up and they're
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: gonna they're gonna escape. So it's just a it's a
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: matter of staying disciplined and and trusting the rush plan
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: for the week.
