WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:04.759
<v Speaker 1>The music line to more head coach, with us we

2
00:00:04.759 --> 00:00:07.240
<v Speaker 1>get to the cornerbacks. I watched a lot of that

3
00:00:07.360 --> 00:00:10.640
<v Speaker 1>today when you was that drill when you were throwing

4
00:00:10.759 --> 00:00:14.519
<v Speaker 1>passes inside the twenty, trying to score one on one

5
00:00:14.560 --> 00:00:17.519
<v Speaker 1>stuff with the corners trying to cover just.

6
00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:19.480
<v Speaker 2>A red zone one on one, Yeah.

7
00:00:19.280 --> 00:00:21.839
<v Speaker 3>Where you're going receiver versus defensive backs in the red

8
00:00:21.879 --> 00:00:24.600
<v Speaker 3>rill for a cornerback, Yeah, I think one on one

9
00:00:24.679 --> 00:00:27.280
<v Speaker 3>is a tough drill because there's no pass rush, so

10
00:00:27.399 --> 00:00:31.559
<v Speaker 3>the quarterback can just stand back there. The receivers got

11
00:00:31.640 --> 00:00:34.560
<v Speaker 3>the entire work with he's got no help from a

12
00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:37.679
<v Speaker 3>safety linebacker, so it's a really challenging drill.

13
00:00:38.399 --> 00:00:39.159
<v Speaker 2>Do you think that?

14
00:00:39.520 --> 00:00:43.719
<v Speaker 4>And watching that today, I felt like the cornerbacks need

15
00:00:43.759 --> 00:00:47.560
<v Speaker 4>a little help from officials. You got to be able

16
00:00:47.560 --> 00:00:49.880
<v Speaker 4>to put your hands on guys to keep kick control

17
00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:50.359
<v Speaker 4>of them.

18
00:00:50.759 --> 00:00:51.679
<v Speaker 2>I think that's fair.

19
00:00:51.880 --> 00:00:56.119
<v Speaker 4>But is that in college football and no no.

20
00:00:56.840 --> 00:00:57.600
<v Speaker 2>And pro football?

21
00:00:57.640 --> 00:00:59.640
<v Speaker 3>It is that you can't touch him after five yards

22
00:00:59.640 --> 00:01:01.679
<v Speaker 3>and college football they're pretty lenient, you know, as long

23
00:01:01.679 --> 00:01:03.200
<v Speaker 3>as not the ball's not in the air and you're

24
00:01:03.240 --> 00:01:06.560
<v Speaker 3>not grabbing and holding a jersey and restricting their ability

25
00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:08.959
<v Speaker 3>to get up the field. They're going to let you

26
00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:11.840
<v Speaker 3>be a little bit more physical. Makes it a little

27
00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:14.400
<v Speaker 3>bit difficult in games like the Wake Forest game last year,

28
00:01:14.439 --> 00:01:16.400
<v Speaker 3>you know where you know, all of a sudden the

29
00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:19.079
<v Speaker 3>flag comes out or doesn't come out in a situation

30
00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:22.319
<v Speaker 3>where you thought it could so but no, you're a

31
00:01:22.319 --> 00:01:24.120
<v Speaker 3>little you can be a little bit more physical. We

32
00:01:24.239 --> 00:01:27.359
<v Speaker 3>bring officials to several of our practices. Then I asked

33
00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:29.640
<v Speaker 3>the officials when they're there to be very very picky

34
00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:33.000
<v Speaker 3>and the you know, if you would even think about

35
00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:35.480
<v Speaker 3>calling it, throw the flag so we can coach off

36
00:01:35.519 --> 00:01:37.719
<v Speaker 3>of it. So we know what the parameters are and

37
00:01:37.719 --> 00:01:40.159
<v Speaker 3>how far we can take things and are what things

38
00:01:40.159 --> 00:01:43.560
<v Speaker 3>are being emphasized. We haven't had a lot of pass

39
00:01:43.599 --> 00:01:46.920
<v Speaker 3>interference calls, I don't believe, or holding calls, you know,

40
00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:50.280
<v Speaker 3>but you're going to get them when you play aggressive defense.

41
00:01:50.439 --> 00:01:52.680
<v Speaker 4>Right, So tell us about some of the corners, because

42
00:01:52.680 --> 00:01:55.959
<v Speaker 4>you've got some experienced guys back, which I like because

43
00:01:56.239 --> 00:01:57.079
<v Speaker 4>they've seen a lot.

44
00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:00.599
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Cam Chadwick's back and I think he's really good player.

45
00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:03.280
<v Speaker 3>Where he's where's number thirteen? He started a lot last year.

46
00:02:03.319 --> 00:02:06.519
<v Speaker 3>He's a Jersey kid. He's got an ankle sprain, right, now,

47
00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:09.520
<v Speaker 3>but hopefully he'll be back next weekend. We brought in

48
00:02:09.560 --> 00:02:12.520
<v Speaker 3>a kid named Devin Pringle, who I think is going

49
00:02:12.560 --> 00:02:14.360
<v Speaker 3>to be a really good player. He wears number two.

50
00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:17.400
<v Speaker 3>He'll be our left corner. We talked about a Cyrus Gilbert,

51
00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:20.199
<v Speaker 3>who's a who's a young player. He's a he's actually

52
00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:24.719
<v Speaker 3>a freshman. He's from Atlanta, but his mom is the

53
00:02:24.719 --> 00:02:27.360
<v Speaker 3>track coach at Georgia women's track coach. He's actually gonna

54
00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:29.759
<v Speaker 3>be the track coach at the next Olympic, the twenty

55
00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:32.840
<v Speaker 3>twenty eight Olympic team. So he's got you know, he's

56
00:02:32.879 --> 00:02:35.000
<v Speaker 3>got some competitive jeans.

57
00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:40.240
<v Speaker 2>We've got give me some other names there and I'll

58
00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:40.479
<v Speaker 2>tell you.

59
00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:45.479
<v Speaker 4>If Welllyron Oh Parland he's a. He's a linebacker. Malachai MacLean,

60
00:02:47.039 --> 00:02:50.400
<v Speaker 4>he's not a. He's a safety. We're testing his knowledge now, Okay.

61
00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:52.199
<v Speaker 2>That's my other question.

62
00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:54.240
<v Speaker 4>You played a lot of five dbs.

63
00:02:54.319 --> 00:02:57.840
<v Speaker 3>We played. We play all five d Okay, say three,

64
00:02:57.879 --> 00:03:01.000
<v Speaker 3>So Mike is the three. He goes what three down

65
00:03:01.039 --> 00:03:06.400
<v Speaker 3>line plus three linebackers? Okay, so that means there's five

66
00:03:06.520 --> 00:03:08.639
<v Speaker 3>what defensive back?

67
00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:09.120
<v Speaker 2>There you go?

68
00:03:09.159 --> 00:03:14.120
<v Speaker 5>Baby, but every there five which you call safeties three Okay,

69
00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:16.560
<v Speaker 5>so we play with two corners and three safeties, and

70
00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:20.400
<v Speaker 5>we have a teasing you obviously we teased, but well,

71
00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:22.639
<v Speaker 5>we call a guy the dog, so like Malachi is

72
00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:24.919
<v Speaker 5>the dog, all right, So it's kind of a hybrid

73
00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:26.800
<v Speaker 5>linebacker safety.

74
00:03:26.879 --> 00:03:30.199
<v Speaker 3>You know, we have a boundary corner I'm sorry, boundary

75
00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:33.159
<v Speaker 3>safety who's more your true safety. You have a field

76
00:03:33.199 --> 00:03:36.080
<v Speaker 3>safety who's kind of maybe more of a nickel corner

77
00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:37.639
<v Speaker 3>safety combination guy.

78
00:03:37.639 --> 00:03:39.680
<v Speaker 2>We have a lot of variability in.

79
00:03:39.639 --> 00:03:41.800
<v Speaker 4>Our in our but all of them have to be

80
00:03:41.840 --> 00:03:42.800
<v Speaker 4>good cover guys.

81
00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:46.039
<v Speaker 3>Right, I think that's probably you know, if you're out

82
00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:49.080
<v Speaker 3>on the edge, you've got to be able to cover inside.

83
00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:50.479
<v Speaker 3>You've got to be able to you got to be

84
00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:54.520
<v Speaker 3>able to decipher what's happening, react, You've got to be

85
00:03:54.560 --> 00:03:55.199
<v Speaker 3>a good tackler.

86
00:03:55.240 --> 00:03:57.159
<v Speaker 2>And yeah it's a d dB. You have to be

87
00:03:57.199 --> 00:03:57.680
<v Speaker 2>able to recover.

88
00:03:58.039 --> 00:04:00.639
<v Speaker 4>So turnovers, we talked about the during one of the

89
00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:03.759
<v Speaker 4>breaks last year. You were kind of I think negative

90
00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:06.680
<v Speaker 4>in that category. You didn't turn the other team over

91
00:04:06.719 --> 00:04:09.199
<v Speaker 4>that much. You played some good d especially on third down,

92
00:04:10.159 --> 00:04:14.199
<v Speaker 4>But turnovers, in your mind, how important critically get them?

93
00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:19.680
<v Speaker 3>It's a well, turnover ratio is the most critical variable.

94
00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:23.079
<v Speaker 3>In determining wins and losses, and somehow last year, even

95
00:04:23.120 --> 00:04:25.000
<v Speaker 3>though we were negative, we found ways.

96
00:04:24.759 --> 00:04:27.959
<v Speaker 2>To win games. But you can't live in that world

97
00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:28.480
<v Speaker 2>very long.

98
00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:30.639
<v Speaker 3>So we have to take care of the football better,

99
00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:32.040
<v Speaker 3>and we have to do a better job of taking

100
00:04:32.040 --> 00:04:36.600
<v Speaker 3>the football away. Part of being a good defensive takeaway

101
00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:41.000
<v Speaker 3>team is you have to throw the ball and you

102
00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:42.959
<v Speaker 3>can make plays on the ball. You get sacks and

103
00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:47.800
<v Speaker 3>cause fumbles, scoop and score on the quarterback emphasizing it

104
00:04:47.839 --> 00:04:50.040
<v Speaker 3>in practice, you know, punching to the ball, ripping it out,

105
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:52.480
<v Speaker 3>and we do a lot of that every single day.

106
00:04:52.519 --> 00:04:54.720
<v Speaker 2>We're working on that. And then you've got to get

107
00:04:54.720 --> 00:04:55.160
<v Speaker 2>on a run.

108
00:04:55.199 --> 00:04:56.680
<v Speaker 3>You know, you got to get on a run where

109
00:04:56.720 --> 00:04:59.600
<v Speaker 3>they turnovers kind of there's the fights on turnovers come

110
00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:00.560
<v Speaker 3>on bunches.

111
00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:03.240
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, some were constantly working on all right, so you'll

112
00:05:03.279 --> 00:05:04.759
<v Speaker 4>be better on first and second down.

113
00:05:04.839 --> 00:05:07.879
<v Speaker 2>That'll open up more opportunities on third and long. Geving

114
00:05:07.920 --> 00:05:10.399
<v Speaker 2>people over. Yeah, we were on the top teams in

115
00:05:10.399 --> 00:05:13.759
<v Speaker 2>the country last year on third and long. Yeahregul appreciate it.

116
00:05:14.319 --> 00:05:15.600
<v Speaker 2>We could do this for hours.

117
00:05:15.839 --> 00:05:16.920
<v Speaker 4>The crowd has been great.

118
00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:21.399
