00:00 >> [INAUDIBLE]
00:10 >> My wife dresses me in the morning, so there she tells me I look good and I just wear it.
00:14 But I think, you know, they talk about drip.
00:17 I just think it's a deal where, you know, identifying with the players,
00:21 you know, keeping them comfortable.
00:23 They look good, they play good.
00:24 You know, if I look good, I feel good, I coach good, that type of deal.
00:27 But it's not a really big deal.
00:29 I'm probably taking pride in how my parents, probably my entire life, but
00:33 I appreciate the compliment.
00:34 >> [INAUDIBLE]
00:44 >> Well, you know, you need speed to match speed a lot of times.
00:47 You also have to give them different looks.
00:48 The biggest thing is everything starts up front.
00:51 We gotta do a good job of stopping the run, being where we need to be and how it fits.
00:55 We don't stop that run.
00:56 They're gonna play action-passion all day.
00:58 And that's why they get their big plays.
01:00 You know, you start cheating up on the run when you shouldn't, throw the ball over your head.
01:04 One-on-one match-ups, you know, you gotta do a good job of identifying who's their best players.
01:10 And, you know, and match them.
01:11 Match them, balls in the air, make a play.
01:13 Know what their favorite routes are, their releases, their tendencies.
01:17 Same thing they do, they're doing for us.
01:19 You know, so we gotta match the speed with speed, but also you gotta do a good job of
01:23 giving them different looks and forcing the quarterback to throw the ball into tight coverage.
01:28 >> What's the difference between, how crucial is that in terms of, you know,
01:32 you guys got a state NFL college flavor, you have a lot of experience.
01:38 And then my top day, Alabama guys, they're like, we're between the SEC.
01:42 We're not that concerned about that.
01:44 Who's gonna, who's gonna be the team that ever since they turned the middle,
01:48 we haven't had a chance to do anything?
01:51 >> Well, you know, I think, you know, at this point in the season, you're gonna do what you do.
01:55 And there's nothing that they're gonna see from us on Monday that we haven't done.
01:59 We gotta execute what we're doing.
02:02 We also have coaches on our staff that have been in the SEC.
02:05 I'm one of them.
02:06 And when I was there, you know, we faced all those teams with their receivers and stuff.
02:09 So, you know, again, you know, it just boils down to these two teams right now.
02:14 The conference doesn't matter.
02:16 What you've done at this point doesn't matter.
02:18 It's what you're gonna do on Monday.
02:20 And so, you know, we gotta keep building our guys up,
02:23 having them understand, like, look, they look at us like we shouldn't be here.
02:27 Let's go show them.
02:29 You know, and I'm a underdog type guy.
02:30 Like, listen, I'll bite the head off a snake.
02:33 I'm ready to go.
02:34 So our guys are gonna be pumped up, ready to go and all that stuff.
02:37 But they're gonna be focused more importantly.
02:39 And we gotta lock in on our details, you know, and our keys and
02:43 force the quarterback to throw the ball to us.
02:46 It's not gonna be easy.
02:47 It's not gonna be easy at all.
02:49 But we gotta execute and you gotta focus from the beginning all the way to the end.
02:53 This game is gonna be a great game all the way to the bitter end, I promise.
02:57 >> It's a very different type of receiver and Marvin Harrison.
03:02 More of the late game type ability compared to just pure speed and
03:07 all of the stuff that's just passed off.
03:11 Where much does that help you from a defensive standpoint for
03:14 guys that will and might be like Arnett?
03:16 We can do what we did against him and we can do that against any team.
03:21 >> No, I don't think they even think of it like that.
03:23 I think what they've done is they've watched their film from the season.
03:27 I told them all to watch the game from the season, point of attack team.
03:30 And they focus on the things that they can do better, they can improve on.
03:35 I mean, regardless of the receiver, who it may be,
03:38 there's some guys that want to start a team and they ran by us.
03:42 So is it the player or is it our technique?
03:45 Is it our alignments, our adjustments?
03:47 Is it the safety showing the coverage too early?
03:50 And that's what we got, my players are focused on pretty glad.
03:54 So that's what we're gonna continue to get better at what we can do.
03:57 Going against those great receivers, yeah, it gives you some confidence.
04:01 But all that's out the window when that ball is snapped on Monday.
04:04 So we'll be ready to go and we gotta do our job.
