 a little bit of a surprise there in the second half with the Texans being able to come back and Kevin Byrd actually, I'm sure you heard it said that the D kind of slept, walked a little bit there in the second half. What do you think attributed to that in general and maybe in particular, what gave Elijah a difficult time against Danny Amondola? Yeah, I mean, obviously it was a tail two halves there. Obviously we played pretty well in the first half and for whatever reason in the second half we didn't execute. It felt like there was some communication breakdowns. Mike, it's been all year. I mean, everything goes back to the ability to rush and the ability to cover and goes hand in hand. Some of those on Elijah, those embobs got across the field all right. You've got to be able to back there. I think Petko was on his way on one and beat the guard and slip down just after beating the guard and then the play gets extended and eventually, I mean, those guys are going on cover or separate a little bit. But yeah, just our execution. I thought we got sloppy there in the second half. We've got to be better at good meetings this morning and kind of go through that stuff. Director. Yes, Shane, just wondering, you know, from a team-wide perspective, even beyond the defense, but with 91 guys participating, you know, setting up a record, you have any particular pride in that? Is there any particular sense of pride of that in the building? And I guess is there is there an art beyond, you know, everybody be ready and be a professional? Is there an art to making that work? Yeah, I mean, you guys have heard it all year long. It sounds cliche, but I mean, it truly is the next man of mentality. I think we've approached every week throughout the season telling these guys they got to be ready to go, whether it's COVID, whether it's injuries and making sure that every guy in the room is engaged and prepared and understands the game plan, understands the opponent. It's not just lip service. Like a lot of times you guys in squad, whatever else, they might not be as engaged with what's going on. And I think this year was as I've been as anyway, every single guy's got to be prepared to play no matter what the circumstance is. And those guys bought into it. And I think they've been able to stay engaged when they made the most of their opportunities. And I think that leads into it too. Like when you see guys get opportunities and take advantage of them, I think other guys kind of recognize that too. And they're waiting for their opportunity. They're going to make sure they're prepared for their opportunity. So I think they guys have been able to kind of feed off each other throughout the year in that regard. And we've had a lot of guys step up and it's been good to see for us and for them. Jim. Shane, I guess Mike noted yesterday you guys have faced Buffalo, New England, Pittsburgh, you know, some some possibilities. For you have not faced, I'm sorry, New England, Pittsburgh are not faced open and since did you spend any time looking back over some of those possibilities, you'll look at some teams you haven't played or driving crazy, trying to do some prep work facing the unknown. Yeah, I mean, we got to take advantage of our time, right? Like not only is it to get rest, but it is to get familiar with these guys with these opponents haven't played, whether it's the Bengals and Raiders. I mean, even going back and seeing in kind of what New England's done since we played them last, it's very the same deal. So, I mean, obviously, we've got a little bit more of an understanding of who they are, especially when it comes to personnel and what what adjustments they might have made systematically from now until never replaying that. That's what I have to be looking at. But I think just getting familiar with the team we haven't played. And Cincinnati and Raiders, just because we have a base and we're trying to figure out their personnel, learn what they do, learn their skill sets, all those types of things. And then we'll start start discussing some scheme things as a week goes on. Court. Shane, it took 18 weeks, but you suddenly have more middle linebackers than you know what to do with. How do you decide who goes in each game? Is it certainly matchup related or Zach and David, just simply your best two? Yeah, I think that by a week, we're going to have to kind of look at that and see where we feel like we're best. I think throughout the week, it's something we're going to have to evaluate to. I mean, we got we got four guys who started and played a lot of football, right? So they're all competitive. They all want to be out there. And I think for us as a coaching staff, it's a great problem to have. It really is. I mean, there's some tough conversations that come along with that, but that's that's part of the game. That's part of being a professional. Can't say enough about Rashan and Jay on last week and how they how they handled it like pros and they were cheering those guys on. They were trying to out now on sideline. And that's going to be a thing we look at week in and week out. Is this thing hopefully continues just who we see fit based on game plan, based on what what they're doing offensively to see who we can get out there to hopefully give us what we're looking for, right? So, I mean, it's it is it's a tough tough situation at the same time. When you've got good guys, there are team guys who are bought in. They don't continue to work hard. And again, we're going to see how it unfolds here later this week and going into the next week, who's going to get a lot of those facts. Paul, what's Kyle's growth curve been like? You know, he's run stuff or getting a sack in that game. Seems like a dirty work guy is doing better. Yeah, he is. Yeah. I mean, I thought he was doing a good job in training camp when he was here working. And I thought he thought he's like all these other guys. Paul, he's taken advantage of his opportunity. No different than they find took advantage of this opportunity. I think there's there's some competition in that room as well, which is always a great thing to have when it's awesome throughout the year. Hopefully it speeds up the air and speeds up. And they want to get back, right? But he's done a really good job. I think he takes coaching. Well, he's been able to hang in there in the run game, taking some double teams and showing up week in and week out, playing with technique at level. And then, ultimately, when he's gotten his opportunities to rush, he's been able to go in and factor and do some things, which is good. I think only a sack. He was relentless and kept going. He worked in, he worked out and countered back. And I said it before, I think effort's a big part in sack production, no matter who it is, but it was good. It was encouraging to see them kind of factor as a fast rusher in the course. Tim, what? Jane, there was a stretch there. Maybe you had four tackles for losses and five plays. And I know you had eight for the game. Was that a was that a season high? And what are you doing well that you like here where you get in the backfield making plays like that so much? Yeah, I think we're doing a good job building a wall in there. I think the linebackers, I know one saw Zach and saw David trigger and really met the guy, met the guy in the backfield. Those times up in that pressure really well and kind of the folder, the flasher. And then I believe it was probably Elijah out there on the perimeter. And they tried to argue us and he did a good job taking on the blocker out there and get on one. Yeah, really, I think it comes out of the point of attack. Those guys being aggressive, not, not waiting, not trying to read things out. Like when you get a chance to be aggressive and get down there, we've got to be able to do it. Not only is it going to allow those guys to make TFLs, but it's also going to take off some of those doubles and bring up some more D-Lime in the possible to make some of those TFLs. So just like anything in a run game, I think it's the coordination of it, moving everything that comes with it. I think the guys are kind of barred in and they're flying around there early, making some plays. And one more for me, just on the intensity level and the playoff, you know, you've coached preseason, regular season playoffs, players can spread the word. But what do you tell the young guys who have not faced playoff games before? Just what is going to be like? Yeah, I think everything's revamped like every team's here for a reason. They're all really good teams, playing really good football, right? So I think the preparation, the intensity of the week is vital. Just understanding the importance of practice, the importance of understanding who these opponents are. How they're changing from week to week. And then, ultimately, fortunately for us, we've been able to play some big games this year on primetime television. So I think that adds a little bit of familiarity to them. But ultimately, you're playing to survive, right? You're playing to win. You're playing to advance. If you don't win, you're done, right? So I think the urgency in your preparation and the urgency coming out of the gate, swinging, ready to go. I can't do any of all. You've got to make sure every play is your best play and you're locked in and focused and maximizing our opportunities to make plays when they're there for us, right? And again, not putting anything more on the guys than what they what they can handle or what they should be doing outside of their job. But I think the understanding you've got to make sure we're urgent and doing our piece and defense being our one 11 on every snap because it's going to come down to a few places. Like, you know, that's going to come down to a few places and makes them who doesn't make them, making sure we're locked in and prepared to make them when we have our opportunities. That time for two more. And then we'll be down to Emily speaking of making plays when you see what Ryan Tannehill did with the Houdini Act. Do you use that as an example to your guys to make sure they finish the job and wrap them up? Yeah, no doubt. I mean, just briefly here in the past few hours, I've watched some of Cincinnati right here in Borough. You've seen it from Josh Allen, all these quarterbacks, right? They all kind of got their skills set. They all never wanted to play to be dead. They always want to continue and try to get out of things. So I think it's vital. It's a fine line. I've got to be able to wrap them up for Allen, but at the same time, we want to be able to rush. And there's a lot of different scenarios when you're kind of getting in the quarterback, whether you're free, how you've got to attack a guy, whether he's a ducker, so to speak, and he's going to try to roll you off, or he's a more quick guy who might try to spin. I mean, there's things that we talk about week in and week out, just depending on who the guy is. But again, all these guys are trying to make plays. This is a hell of a play by Ryan, really was. Hopefully, we can keep quarterbacks from doing that to us. Our last one, Theresa. Shane, the advantage of having the one seed, you all don't have to leave town for a while. I'm thinking back a couple of years, how much of an advantage is it being able to stay at home, not having to travel when you're preparing for opponents? Disregarding the fact that you all do have this bye week to focus on that kind of thing. Yeah. I mean, we'll find out when we play here next week in some time, but hopefully, I think being home, you get the fans, right? You get your hometown fans who've shown up and been great for us all year. They were out in the masses and used to in there. So I think that's one huge advantage. And then some other things, really, it's just preparation and time to travel, time. Some of that stuff comes into play here. You're preparing here, we're in the office, and you really get a chance to potentially catch up on a little bit of rest as well, and not in the air. I think there's things that go into that, but I think the biggest thing is just the fans. And the excitement, the energy, the atmosphere, they're going to bring peace on stage, and we can all go where it's in control.
