  Speaker 1: Good.
• 0:00
  Speaker 2: Thanks, Hey, coach, the Patriots played an eligible actor, eligible
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: oppositive lineman more than any team last week. How did
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: that change how you prepare for a team defensive that?
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: I think as you prepare for teams different personnel groupings,
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: you're preparing for different personnel groupings every week. There's no
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: real difference in how you would prepare you just as
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: the grouping goes out there, if you work on that
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: grouping and what that personnel grouping is kind of telling
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: you and prepare for that.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Your eight quarterback hits and the two sacks, what can
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: you just say about the pressure? We had eight quarterback
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: hits and two sacks last game? Just what can you
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: say about the pressure you will get?
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: The guy's done a great job. They they they're starting
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: to learn how to play together. You know, like when
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: a group I think I've said it to you before,
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: is when a group's rushing really well, they're Russian as
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: one and they're starting to understand. I think there's there's
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: a there's a few more steps and quite a lot
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: of steps we can grow in that area, but they're
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: really progressing in the right way.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: Stuff.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, you know. The next steps is that just
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: experience that has.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: To happen, the experience understanding communication details, you know, like
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: and as as it goes on, I think they get
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: a better feel for that and how they're utilized in
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: different ways.
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: But a lot of the guys have talked about the
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: tackling drills you guys have done and how they feel
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: like that's help. Obviously you guys can't do much life
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: tackling and all that. Yeah, so what's sort of the key,
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: I guess and what you do do to try to
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: make sure it's getting the guys ready to tackle, you know,
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: within the willing pace of the what you get out here, Yeah.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: I think as we like all of us and under MICUs,
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: you really get what you emphasize. So if you want
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: to be a fundamentally good team, you emphasize the fundamentals,
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: and Mike gives us an opportunity to do that within
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: the defensive structure of practice, you know, And we make
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: your point, and we keep working on it, and we
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: try and improve and those things you hopefully you see
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: that if you keep teaching it and you see where
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: it's grown showing up in the game, and you see
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: errors of improvement, and you keep working on.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: That I imagine it was not that many. Like how many
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: miss tackles did you guys count in that game? What
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: specifically it would constitute like.
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: A good day of tackling.
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: I think there actually was quite a few mistaples. I
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: think there's like nine or ten. But I think like
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: as the as you go through it, the way you
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: approach the ball and the type of population you get
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: to the football, you know, that kind of erasist some
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: of the mistakes, and I think if they're all playing
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: that way, you might the mistackle that happens at that
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: point the next persons there to make the tackle, you know.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: So like I think the tackling was really good. I
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: think we can go to another place and just keep improving.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: I think, keep it a main focus and grow from there.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: In a while back, Mike mcgonald said, you were really
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: want to break yalan akers in here. The guy you
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: knew this kind of game that would suit him.
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: Well and you can play a big rop.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think so. I think like that first down
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: suits him, you know, like run situation football suits him.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: So I think like he's a guy you want and
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: he brings some quality experience. I think that position itself
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: there's a lot of experience in his lot of block recognition.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: He helps the young guys and he does a great
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: job of kind of mentoring people in that specific position.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Maris Stephen still have.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: Tea if anything at all about all that they had
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: to come together with billion.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: I think like, just like you said, all that had
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: to come together, it was. It was a great play
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: by Julian, But I think it was a combined effort
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: of the defense. You saw like you saw Leo rush,
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: like the guys up front rushing Leo getting a QB hit.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: Spoon done a great job. I think it was just
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: a culmination of the group and the end product was
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: like there's a kind.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: Of icing on the top from Andre Stevenson had a
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: bunch of yards after contacts. He was like a downhill
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: one cut runner. How do you make a guy like
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: that take a lateral step?
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: I think you just have to play your fundamentals in
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: your key. He's like, he done a great job. You
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: watched the film, like I was really impressed with him.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: You have to give kudos to him, you know, he
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: he made some yards out of situations there weren't necessarily
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: yards there. I think for us it's just about our fundamentals,
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: our keys, playing good pawd level. It's it's the kind
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: of essence of the game. So that's how I see it.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: For example, like what a key is, Yes.
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: Like if you're a defensive lineman, your key is the player.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: What the man is in front of you, what he does,
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: your reaction to that, where you put your hands, where
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: you put your eyes and play from there. And the
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: pad level you have.
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: What did you think of the way Byron Brophy played
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: in that game?
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I haven't done well, you know, like
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: there's like what a great day for my birthday, you know,
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: And his first NFL game, I thought I thought he'd
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: done a great job. And you felt him grow into
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: the game, you know, by like he had a great
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: play on like a double team where he split the
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: double team, wrapped the guy up, made a tackle for
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: no game, and then he had a couple of really
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: good rushes where you started to feel him. I feel
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: like he started finding his flow in the game and
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: he was kind of exciting to see back.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: He had six passwashers and then he had two critical
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: rent tackles. Just is he about as complete as you
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: can get in terms of that position.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like then Leo still I feel like
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: talking to lyle like he's trying to be as good
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: as he could possibly be. I still feel like he's
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: trying to find windows to grow, Like he's doing a
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: great job like evaluating his game and saying where can
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: I grow in different areas? I think he can do
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: a lot of things, I think, and he's pushing himself
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: to get better. I think there's a whole nother space
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: that Lil can go to.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Is there a mentorship with him and Byron Murphy?
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: Definitely? I think Leo does a great job of mentoring
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: the leading the whole group. Him and Jay Ruid like
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: they they go about business the right way and it
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: shows people how to do things the right way. I'm
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: really pleased with the way they do that.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: Where in terms of like debriefing, going over things after
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: a game with the team, how do you and Mike
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: do you split up those responsibilities?
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: Maybe it's the same responsibilities we always have, like wespler
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: out the meeting, just how we do and take different
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: parts of it, talk about it like we're doing that
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: on a daily basis. It's not different just because there's
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: a game. It's just the process of how we do things,
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: anything else, Thanks guys, Thanks guys,
