• 0:15
  Speaker 1: growth from the time I got here.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: I feel like he's a really confident person and he
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: was a confident player when I came in, and now
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: it's kind of he's understanding what he's really good at,
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: what is superpowers and how he uses him in run
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: and past.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: He's doing a great job.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: Do you even know how many guys were out last
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: week on how do you evaluate the effort and the
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: outcome of that name? I think I feel like like
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: the effort was there.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: I feel that it could have been.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: It was, it wasn't to our standards, if I'm really honest,
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: I felt like there we were talking about in the
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: room with the guys, it was like there was there's
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: some effort plays there, and I feel like, but if
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: we're gonna it's just a it's just a real honest evaluation.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: You're not obviously where you.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Need to be yet, and when you see that, it's like, Okay,
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: where are the areas that we need to grow the
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: consistency that we need to grow with And that's kind
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: of the biggest evaluation of last week. Has that evaluation
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: helped to boost the confidence of guys knowing that hey,
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: look this is what you've done and here's where we
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: can be.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Or is that a harder conversation right now?
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: I think like the way Mike wants it is honest
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: and accountable. So I think if you face these issues
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: front on, the biggest regret would be to not learn from.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: What just happened. And I think that's what we're all
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: trying to do.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: I think there's accountability on me on the plan that
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: I put together, so with the guys. So I think
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: all of us have to look back at ourselves and say, Okay,
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: how can we grow from the situation. How can we
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: improve the areas that we need to improve on. How
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: do we not miss the good things that were there
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: because there was some good things and just look at
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: it from a negative standpoint, and how do we grow?
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Have you kind of helped the bouncement at great Like
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: I think today was a good job.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: They finished.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: They started kind of okay and then got going and
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: then it was rolling. I think I feel like today
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: was the first real time on the grass, so it
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: was really going.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Where would you like to see the defense improved in
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: all areas.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: Really, I think the biggest area is communication, you know,
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: communication and just consistency and fundamentals. Like if we if
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: you think back to when we came in here, we
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: were really focusing on communication all three levels. How does
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: it sound? How do we work as a unit. That's
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: an area that we have to grow. And that someone
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: asked me last week, where do we go as its defense?
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: And it's that's part of us and that's.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: The areas that as we go through this journey this year,
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: is that it's got to be constant growth. Like last week,
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: to be honest with you, I think at the communication
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: took a step back.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: I think as we go it takes a step forward
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: and go from there to the standard. What's that?
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Like I said, I thought we was talking about the
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: effort at times that wasn't and the communication wasn't obviously
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: a bit like gotta news taking a way to see
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: that's good like we was talking about that too. I
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: feel like if you look at the last two games
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: before Monday night, I think the Dolphins getting the ball
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: hit the ground three times, and I think the time
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: before that it hit the ball of the ground a
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: couple of times.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: I feel if we the ball finds you if you
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: play the right way.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: You know, like if you hit the ball and you're
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: consistently running to the ball and you're tackling with violence
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: and you're capping off as you're running to the ball,
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: the ball will come loose. If you're covering tight and
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: matching tight and you're rushing the right way, then the
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: tips and overflows, those things will come to life.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: I think when you don't.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: The kind of the signals that come with the ball
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: is when you have a game man, the ball didn't
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: hit the ground or they weren't contested catches. So they're
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: the things to me that we've got to make sure
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: we have on a week to week basis that will
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: bring the ball to us.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Is a communication that improving that in season just.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: Matter of practicing it or practicing it and just keep
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: pushing it, like understanding what we're saying and why we're saying,
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: playing ahead of the stamp.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: These are These.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: Are the areas that you go through as you're building
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: a game plan and go through in your meetings, and
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: the culture doing a great job with that.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Is that a par amount in this particular defense or
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: is that true that's.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: True in every defense, Like I think obviously communication is
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: different in every defense, but I think any unit that
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: works together, the communication has to be at a very
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: very high level.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Harder in this system. The changes you're asking of guys.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: And well, not from the comparables that I've had, No,
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: I don't think is an awareness and recognition then that
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: will speed up the communication. Repetition just repetition and and
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: sometimes there's there's human things that you know, like when
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: adversity comes on top and things aren't going certain ways,
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: how do we communicate? How do we how do we
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: work in moments that are stressful moments? You know, their
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: their growth of a unit. They're things that we're learning
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: as a unit, and we're getting there.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: We talk rache on earlier and you said you thought,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: you know, guys might have been trying to do a
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: little bit from what you're in.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: There, a little bit.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: How when you guys are I've agreed with that, you
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: guys trying effort. I wouldn't say that. I think you'd
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: have to ask him about that.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: I think it's more as like I said, as we're
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: kind of moving forwards in the season, as we're growing
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: as a unit, I think this is the first time
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: we've been in that situation. How we react to that
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: is kind of how we move forwards and how we're growing.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Daniel jobs is not a large shots down field. It's
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: a lot of short passes. So how do you break situation?
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: I think, as I said, like you go back to
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: who you are, Okay, So like if you're asking me
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: about the start of your question, you asked about effort
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: and how we play on the field, that is a
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: big part of it.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: How we all approach the ball.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: How we hit the ball, how we get to the football,
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: how we match and cover those things?
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: To me, will the ball last?
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: And having an intent on the football, like it's gotta
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: be a kind of way of life.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: There's kind of a lot of different guys play on
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: the defensive front. Everybody really stand out to you A play.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Along Miles, Yeah, I thought, Miles Adam's done a really
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: good job. Have you thought about the way your corners
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: have played the first quarter of the season, Yeah, I thought,
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: I I really you see the g I thought through
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: the whole of camp and then moving into the season.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: I think Tariq and Spoon and Trey have done a
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: really good job. I think as we go through the season.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: As they build on that and as they keep working
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: to focus in the moment, you'll see the growth there
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: and keep going.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: But they're doing a great job in terms of the
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: playing the right way and the ball finding you.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Is that applicable to the DAG group in particular, maybe
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: with the interception through Yeah, I think those things come
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: like I don't think when you asked about chasing plays,
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: I don't think like you can say, oh, I'm gonna
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: grab an interception, I'm gonna sit on a route. You
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: can't do those things because then suddenly the balls over
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: your head and you're jumping double, you're getting hit on
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: double moves.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: You've got to play.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: You just gotta play your fundamentals, your keys and the
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: unit of like the philosophy of Russian cover.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: To me, that's how the ball comes to left.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: If you affect the quarterback, if you really affect the quarterback,
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: you make him throw off target, you make him do
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: those things.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Suddenly the ball comes to what do you think.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Of tyres Nade where you play another filling game there. Yeah,
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: you know, especially like Tyre's does a great job of
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: tackling the ball in space, and you see it it's
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: all over the tape. I think he grows weak to week,
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: you know, and I think he I'm really happy with
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: his girl. I'm really happy with the way he takes
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: the field.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: In practice.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: He started to come out of himself more as a
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: person as well, so he's getting more vocal on the field.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: It's doing a good job, all right. Thank you. Thanks
