00:00 Well, listen, Vic's been in this league a long time,
00:03 and man, over the years,
00:06 whether it was San Francisco, Chicago, Denver,
00:10 I mean, all the way back he was in Houston,
00:12 I was a young coordinator in New York,
00:15 and there's certain things that evolve no different
00:18 than they would evolve with offenses.
00:22 He's always done a great job of keeping the roof on the coverage,
00:27 you've got to sustain drives,
00:30 it's hard to find big plays based on the structure of his defense,
00:37 and it's easy to say they're very sound,
00:41 most defenses are, but man, the technique they play with,
00:44 and they're well coached,
00:47 and so we're working on third down tonight,
00:52 red zone tomorrow night,
00:53 and there'll be certain things that we'll go back and look at something
00:58 we ran in Chicago or in San Francisco last night,
01:05 and if it appears that that's still in place, what we're seeing,
01:11 then there's merit to it, and then there's change.
01:15 Obviously he's at Miami now,
01:17 and they tinker with things in the offseason,
01:20 and so there is a familiarity to what he does,
01:27 and look, he's got his spin-off of other coaches now running very similar systems.
