 Huh? Oh no, we're going to get to ride over the 70 year old guy doesn't it? They think I'm already have gone so they ain't gonna take care of me No, you take care of the young dude. He's got a long life yet. So I don't know why How we doing? Yeah About those about those braves, huh? Fun man fun watching them Yeah, congratulations to them Well the biggest thing is just we got to come under control where you can practice a drill You can do a drill or you want to drills are always gonna look good guys always gonna make tackle guys always gonna have his head on The right side the best thing to do is do it in practice and not necessarily take the guy the ground But the best thing is when it's going live in practice and it's going full speed and it's not a drill That's all set up for you to look good. That's when you got to really practice being a good tackler in space and You know, that's there's no secret to it. I mean it's Every teams it's exactly the same thing You got to practice it when you're actually doing practice not a drill. There isn't any drill That's gonna simulate a game in tackling. There just isn't so We just got to do it in practice We got to do a better job of forming up not obviously taking our guys down or hitting them and all that stuff But you can still form up come under control do all that kind of stuff that your coach is doing tackling That's how you got to do it What so what is the question part of that Why You think that helps the secondary putting pressure Where'd you coach secondary That's great, so when you zone pressure how many zones are there underneath open Yeah depends on what So all I know is when you zone pressure there's more zones open than when you don't pressure is that correct? Okay, and if you're in man coverage, and you're not playing man very good And you pressure is there more pressure now on the secondary if you don't get there then if there's not Okay, you answer my question So we tried pressure and it gets fully how'd that work how'd that look how to look Didn't look too good Okay, so I told you the couple weeks ago We had to back off some of the stuff that we had to do because we weren't getting there We weren't running things quite correctly So we have to clean some stuff up and make it simpler. Okay, so that's what we've done Okay, so you guys get all into this pressures and sacks and all this stuff been doing this for ever And it's not based on first of all if you run a pressure you better get there That's the number one thing about pressure. It's not about the secondary It's about the pressure if you aren't getting there you're now hanging the secondary out to dry more than you did if you didn't pressure Right is that right or is that wrong? That is correct So if we're not getting there and pressures which we weren't then why would I want to hang the secondary out to dry when I get a different Secondary in there almost every down. Is that been a case in the secondary? Have we had different rotating parts in the secondary these last three weeks? Yes. Yes, have we won two out of the last three weeks? Yes, okay, you answer my question You welcome Well first of all we got a couple Interceptions that really helped, you know over in London hot got one We've got a one right before the half We had a big one in that sudden change with foyer getting that all the way back down setting up a score Where we need to improve I'll probably tell you this way what I think what where we're not doing well Is a couple things is we got to play better man coverage? Okay, because when we call man, that's when we seem to be getting hurt Okay, and part of that is because we have different defense he backs in there all the time Okay, and sometimes as a play-caller I also don't want to put a guy in harm's way if the guy is just coming in the guy was on the practice squad today before I'm not gonna go in and call all these things that we practiced all week that he didn't get to practice That's not fair to him then when he busts and everybody yells at him and says he was the fault That's not fair to the guy. So sometimes when that stuff happens I have to change the game plan and maybe call things a little differently to make sure that I'm not putting that guy in harm's way The number one we got to play better man coverage number two. We got to play better on third down Okay, third down leads to red zones last week in the very first drive We had four third downs that we had a chance to get off the drive off the field on the very first drive Right that they went down scored on and I know we got to play better in the red zone too But that's part of man coverage to most teams play man coverage down the red zone So we got to play better man got to play better in the red zone But the biggest thing right now is getting off the field on third down. I mean we did for it when you get a guy You know somebody four times in a drive on third down You need to get off field on one of those and we didn't and so that was that drive was probably the worst drive of the game So I know we missed a tackle at the end of the game that led to a score There was a sudden change we didn't get him get him stopped on that one But I'm just saying we made a couple of nice big plays that's been contributed We had an interception the week before and gave the offense the ball in plus territory at over in London Right and the air thing is like in the two-minute drive at the end in London Like I say I looked out there and we got a practice squad guy the day before was out there a corner We got a safety who's a backup We got a new nickel in because the other neck the other two nickels got hurt and so all of a sudden Richie had to go in and play nickel which he hadn't practiced hardly all week So all we were trying to do there was milk the clock Whether or not they caught kicked a field goal at the end was absolutely irrelevant to me We got to take this clock off the board So I was not gonna pressure and put those guys in a harm's way where they could give up a big play Nor was I gonna put them in man coverage where if a guy slips and falls and they score on an easy fast touchdown That wasn't gonna happen either. It was nothing about stats That's what I'm saying sometimes stats are misleading because you don't know how the game's going in that situation I was not gonna blitz. I was not gonna pressure. I was not gonna play man milk the clock and so Yeah, so we didn't get many sacks. We didn't get I think we end up doing getting one sack Maybe in that thing later on in his own, but that's kind of there's a lot of things that There's so many things that go in some sometime when I do retire I really would like to have a media day and just kind of explain why coaches a lot of times don't answer questions or Are kind of so evasive That I know you don't like that and I don't really like to be like that, but there's so many other intangibles That go into coaching for example if you put a guy in there and he really doesn't know the pressure or he's something or he's a new guy Or let's say he's just struggling But you keep doing it pretty soon. He lose credibility with the other ten guys on the field Okay, we have to think about that as coaches. I've seen players destroyed Basically quarterbacks, but even defensive backs destroyed because they lose confidence And if you put them in those situations where they lose confidence then it also destroys them for their future Because what happens is then the other ten guys, you know, I heard somebody say some of your days Why and this guy playing more and the guy even said why don't you take your your lumps and just play those guys Well, if I'm greedy Jared and Deon Jones, I don't take lumps. I want to win it. I'm stood this three and three We're on six. So we're gonna take lumps now. We're trying to win games and get to the playoffs That's what we're trying to do but I also don't want to put somebody in a situation if they're making continued mistakes that everybody looks at that guy and says We can't count on that guy then all of a sudden that guy loses trust and then he loses camaraderie with his teammates I've seen players destroyed For those situations and I'm not gonna ever do that as a coach So sometimes what you guys see may not be what exactly you want to see or the public wants to see or whatever But it is what we need to see for I know in a lot of different ways And it's not always based on whether they can handle pressure whether it's it's can we do what we're gonna ask them to do And can we do it in a fashion that we're not gonna make mistakes that? Do you game I keep going back to it because I'm upset with myself over a little bit because we did too much And we made a bunch of mistakes and they and it looked like it it did and so We aren't making those same mistakes. Are they getting some plays? Yeah We missed some tackles and we got to play better man. We got to play better through down But guys also we didn't come out of the game going on. Oh, we had 15 mental mistakes We didn't in the last couple games. We had very few mental mistakes We've had other mistakes just technique things but not you can't have mental mistakes. You're never gonna win You're gonna give up big place But I think there's a lot of things that it would behoove you to know Because before you ask the question because you you're kind of gonna know that you're not gonna get an answer Because if it's gonna be something that's gonna put a player I don't want to say something about a player if you ask me about a player Why any plan you think I'm ever gonna tell you because he's not playing very well Well, why would how would that player feel if I stood up here and said that I would never want to lose credibility So I'm saying to ask some questions things like that You're never gonna get you're gonna get away. We got a you know what you're gonna get the standard Well, we got to keep coaching heart better and playing better. That's the standard that you're gonna get right you hear all the time What else do you want us to say? That's what we are gonna say so I know I get winded up here But I mean I do like media I do and in the radio show that I talked about I still listen to it every day Good morning. I do. I like them. I do. I like both those guys, but I'm just saying that You know, I'm gonna also speak my mind because I'm just at that point in my life where I'm gonna speak my mind I hope so It depends on how he practices during the week Mike It's kind of like all these guys we got we got some guys now We got some young rookies that are starting to play a little bit and we're getting some even like hawk Who's not a rookie but in the young guy we're getting guys that are playing and feeling a little more confident And the more they feel confident the more I'll do Okay, like I say I started out too much and I backed off and now I told you I last week I'm kind of adding a little bit more back in as guys feel comfortable doing that The other thing is then you're gonna give guys opportunities different places to play and just rotate guys in so it's not gonna be the same Secondary every day gone down. I mean guys have proved they can win and can play and Spacially young guys when they do it right, they've done it very right But when they've done it wrong, they've done it very wrong. And so we just always got to be careful as a staff Put them in the position so they can do it right When you had Isaiah Yeah, it was it was Isaiah's job to lose and he wasn't gonna lose it So, you know, and that's why I've really been that way with most Guys that I've had it was Logan Ryan at Tennessee It was you know guys that at Baltimore, but that's not the case now So it could be a revolving door there could be revolving door at safety could be revolving door a little bit of corner Because they've all kind of proven they all got strengths. They all got weaknesses So, you know, we'll use them all I don't know I because I don't know anything medical about that and I don't even know if this last one was I don't I don't know look that stuff is so far removed from me I don't I have no idea it all has to do with the doctors and medical staff and Arthur There's a lot he's a good example sometimes like if you're corner and they never throw over to your side How are you gonna show up in the stat book? So and you know, it's it's the same thing like I don't even know I mean, I do not have any idea what the only numbers I know is what you just told me because I don't pay any attention to it But one of the guys that I'm just telling you affects everything is 97 But he may not show up in the stats a lot, but that interception the other day was 97 He hit the quarterback and forced it and we actually were he we played him outside a little bit last week I don't know if anybody noticed but he actually were moving moving him around a little bit But the truth of it is he caused that interception, but it doesn't show that in the stats. It shows foyer, you know Got the interception. So there's a lot of things that show up for us you know, I mean it was a Lot of guys had good games a lot of guys showed up Obviously Dion had a really good game at NFC player of the week. I mean that's a we love that loves seeing that stuff and So It structurally is always kind of a vague turn because the guys basically when you look out there in defense It kind of all looks the same the difference like is and there's two ways You know usually there's two different schemes on defense like basically up front There's a scheme where you you get guys and draft guys that are up field guys all the time They just they're getting a three-point stance and they are up the field Trying to hit a gap and do all that stuff And of course your secondary the back end your linebackers and your secondary Everything has to coordinate with that kind of a front. We're not that kind of front They were a little bit more of that last year and there's nothing wrong with that There's a lot a lot of successful teams that do it that way It's just whatever the coordinator or whoever the head coach prefers and that's what you But that's what you draft to you know It's just like if you want to throw the ball 50 times a game You you don't you don't get a full back and three big tight ends You know if you want to run the ball and play 12 personnel you get tight ends or you get full back or whatever You draft to what your needs are okay? Well our deal was that I'm not that kind That's not our front. That's never been my kind of front. We were a two gap all the way at New England We aren't too gap at Baltimore But we are hit lock it out build a wall set an edge and we aren't up the field and so Like I say, there's a lot of successful teams that are up the field defenses to but it just doesn't happen to be our style And so linebacker play is different because now gaps change they're different, you know, and It's just now they got to play and so Dion had to learn for a head to learn The coverage that you play in the back end is different because it's just it's it's just it's so Like I say, I don't mean that in any way Any bad about the last staff there is a lot of good Staffs, I mean, they're doing pretty good at Dallas Playing pretty good defense at Dallas. So I'm just saying that that's it's just different that way Forever That's my background from my first college job ever I have I'm you know, I go way back where everything was an odd front It's landing angle and all that kind of stuff and and it's just that's been me for 48 years a high school coach on and Adapted it and when I went to New England my first job in the NFL Bill Belichick was the same way Nick Saban was the same way everybody I've worked for every head coach I've worked for Even if they were the defensive coach We play that's why they hired me Because that's the kind of style of defense that we played. I've only ever really worked for a couple of offensive head coaches Arthur And Gary Pinkle. That's the only two often the coaches I've ever worked for and it was the same there. So Guys good Well, I'd be impressed if we had more than two Or more than three I guess we've got three right in the last games But at least now we're starting to get our hands on the ball. I like the fact that we're doing that Yeah, we want to stress turnovers and you know, we play enough zone that I'd we need more But but at least it's trending in the right direction. Yeah, I've been I don't know if the words impressed I've been encouraged by by the way it's going Well as a coach, you know as a coach you always see the things they do well you very seldom ever see the things you can't count on the guy throwing an Inner you know a bad ball you can't you know, you can't expect a wide receiver to drop a ball So you see the things they do well like somebody was talking about darnold you know throwing the Pass out of the end zone last week and get an attentional groundings Well, I just watched on film him throw one out of the end zone and to number 80 down the middle of the field That was an absolute strike. That's the stuff. I see this guy is a talented talented quarterback Who can run has a strong arm? Everybody has hot and cold all I see is the hot And the saying of it is is he gets hot he can really hurt you he can move around He's another moving quarterback that we got a face that can get out of get out of jams They got two talented wide receivers the thing is I'm really impressed with their two tight ends These guys can block because there haven't been a lot of tight ends in the league that I thought could block These two guys can block and they got a good running game. Hey, I know they're missing 22, but you know, they they've They've just they've made some miscues at the wrong Unopportune times and you can't you can't count on those things I think this is it's your thing is about I would say this look if the guy wasn't a really good talented quarterback They wouldn't have taken him and he wouldn't have gotten drafted if a guy is playing in the NFL And he is a pro football player. He is a damn good football player. I don't care what position or what team You hope so he hopes so yeah, you want to do that about any quarterback I don't even want to do it against Brady. I mean, there's you know, you just I don't care who you're playing You're always going to set the game plan based starting with the quarterback in the passing game But first of all, you get can we you got to stop the run then second of all how we gonna affect the quarterback? Receivers are receivers. They're all good. They're all fast. They all got a catch radius They got all these different types of receivers, but it's always the quarterback. That's the main con It's always contingent upon what you can do It's yeah, I may like to do this, but can our guys do that, you know It's first thing is you can go out and say boy, I could play man-to-man against these guys Well, can my guys are we playing man-to-man? Well enough to do it So there's always just not one factor. It's not only the quarterback. It's all also about us You guys good? All right appreciate you
