  Speaker 1: October Orange. There we go. You guys have been saying
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: he's coming, buddy. This is a good to get ahead
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: and see that start to pile up there. Yeah, I
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: mean that's kind of.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: Sorry, Uh, that's kind of how a defensive flow can go.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: You know, you're you know, if we stop the.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: Run, kind of get things done early down, the ball
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: starts to come alive for a secondary And yeah, once
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: it became a drop back pass game, that's when we
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: could take over a little bit. And yeah, I just
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: I think across the board, we had a great week
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: of practice and we we executed today.
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: How have you seen Kobe Bryant evolved in safety position
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: because it was.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Not his natural spot? Yeah, since last year.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: I mean each time he takes the field, he just
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: he takes another step, takes another step.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: It's it's tough sometimes.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: I know because I did it going from corner primarily
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: to safety. But as you can see, he's just catching
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: his stride. You know, when Ray kind of went down it.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: I was an advocate for kind of getting Kobe on
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: the field because he's a playmaker. The guys always around
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: the ball. It was evident his rookie year when he
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: was at Nickel. He just gets the ball and so
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: we need that right now. We were trying to create
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: sparks and so I mean he probably had ten eleven
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: tackles and a pick first game starting, and so man,
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: he deserves all the credit because he's worked for us.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: Do you think the young corner stepping in having to
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: fill in today, Yeah, big time. They just all week
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: they were chipping away there, we're doing the extra stuff.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: There's on the field extra They were just locked in
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: job you know, was throwing to a role. He's just
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: asking for more meeting time, asking to meet with you
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: know me separately.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Just we go over so we.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: Could click and they played great, and that's what we need.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: That's what great teams need. You need the guys who
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: are called upon to step up, not drop below a
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: standard that we're trying to set.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: And so I mean, just a great all hands on
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: that game for us. I think in the.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: Third quarter beginning the fourth that's probably the run defense
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: got a lot stronger against Robinson.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Was bringing someone down or what do you think made
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: the difference there?
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: Honestly some mentality we can't switch up too much. It
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: was a mindset. Man, his is great back he's usually
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: get running back, and so it was kind of just
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: a swarm a swarm game. You can't rely on one
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: person to make all the tackles. We got to all
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: get to the ball, and so you saw that a
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: lot in the second half. They had a lot of
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: rushing yards I think in the first in the first half,
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: maybe one hundred and ten or so, I can't I
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: don't know or exactly, but they probably had like thirty
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: or forty in the second half. And so this was
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: a mindset, we have stuff that run, and once our
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: offense is also scoring as complimentary football too, and then
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: they have to they can't just keep running the ball game.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: And so that's when we kind of him alive.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Robinson just as a bad kind of What makes him special,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: I think just he has really special contact balance.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: I mean, you good luck trying to tackle him high.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: You gotta kind of take out his power at the legs.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: But he's very strong, and he's just he's incredibly balanced
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: and so good vision young back, and he's gonna be
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: a stud in this league.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Obviously for a while, stop and stop and running, and
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: the second played into it. I mean, you stopped him too,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: and then they also stopped running.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: How much is that play into what you mean if
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: you yeah, you know, it kind of all goes into
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: the flow of a game, offensive scoring, and that time
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: becomes a factor and you can just keep trying to
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: run the ball. When they did, we were pretty stout,
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: and so then that it's leads to opening it up
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: and airing it out more. And so it's it all
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: works together and so and also just we've made some
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: adjustments just in terms of the kind of mindset and fits.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Nothing schematically was.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: Really different, just just addressing kind of some early half
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: you know, adjustments for fit, you know.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: Really weird.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: One week can make it. I mean, how different is
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: it now than it wasn't even four days ago? Say
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: it one more time? How different is the feeling divide
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: around the team now?
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Getting it's I mean it's great, it's uh, you know,
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: coming out here a two day trip for us, Uh,
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: these games, man, it's it's gonna be a grind. And
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: we had a great week of practice. It's not it's
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: not lip service. It's it's being attention. It's being attentive
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: to details on We had actually day so Monday, then
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Wednesday we got after Thursday, we got after it, and
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: it all works together, and we're just trying to find
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: our flow. We're trying to find our identity as a team.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: And so today was kind of an example of that.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: Offense can care of the ball, defense getting the ball
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: being stouted. You know, Ben don't break sometimes on defense
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: and offense they have those exposive plays that they can
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: make at any moment, and so it's it all worked together.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: And so that extra few days and having a full
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: week to work, obviously it was great.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: What can do for you guys. You know, you face
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: the diversity early in the season.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: And yeah, it was inevitable to happen, and so you
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: want to see a rebound. You want to see kind
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: of how which were still learning how to win as
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: a team and as basically goes into just knowing who
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: we have and how the individuals in this team have
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: to win. It might be gritty, it might be you know, explosive,
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: it might be kind of putting the stepping on the gas,
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: and so it's it's it's great.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Obviously the past.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: Few weeks it wasn't, you know, the great vibe, but
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: everybody kind of went into attack mode. Coaches coach harder players,
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: went after a little more, and so it's it's we're
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: still building, we're still learning kind of who we are
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: as a team.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: You mentioned the great week of practice you guys coaching Dallas,
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: So you guys had a padded practice. Do you think
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: that that really changes things when you guys are able
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: to do I know some weeks you can't do that,
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: but is that something you think is a big deal when.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: You look a preparation, it's not going to gass up
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: any padded practice, you know, but yeah, it's good just
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: to get the pads popping after a three day weekend
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: coming off that Thursday game, and so yeah, it's it's.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: You know, it was.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: It was a practice flip pads on for sure, but
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: it was just it was a tone setter. We're kind
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: of knocking some of the rest off from the long weekend,
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: and yeah, I think it all kind of went according
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: to plan.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: What did they say to you.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Not let the angles and street ball the bad feelers
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: and that kind of spiral ta you guys.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it was.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: It started with Mike and started with our leaders just
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: addressing kind of a we're here, like we know what we.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Do well, we know what we're not doing well.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: Let's try to address it, but understand that we're doing
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: things well. Like it felt like the end of the world.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: I know for some people losing a few games in
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: a row, but we do a lot of good things
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: and so it's just correcting and trying to improve on
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: the bad stuff and then keep being that attacking style
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: team that we can be.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: And so I really appreciate how he approached it.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: He said exactly what it was, and yeah, when you
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: see that in black and white, you can't attack it.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I appreciate you guys. Thank you
