00:00 That's a good question. I have no idea but we find a way to win ball games.
00:03 Find a way to continue leaning on one another, fighting, and at the end, find a way to win.
00:09 What is it about this secondary that you guys will give up big chunk plays and then make really well-timed
00:15 interceptions plays like that game after game?
00:17 Oh man, we just, you know, we'll go back on this tape and just look at some of the things we need to clean up.
00:23 Just try to continue to get those big plays off of us.
00:26 We know if we can limit teams to those, we can be a much better defense than what we've been showing.
00:32 But we got a W. We got a W. We got to have an opportunity to look at this tape and see if we can be in a better position
00:39 to make plays and not make those plays early.
00:41 Last week, you guys talked a lot about how Demonte Casey's communication was a big factor for you all.
00:46 What did you guys do communication-wise to make those adjustments in the second half?
00:49 You know, Coach does do a great job of kind of understanding what teams are doing in the first half.
00:57 If you feel something that we're doing is not working, we'll make an adjustment going into the second half
01:03 and try to see what adjustments they made.
01:05 And if they didn't, our adjustments typically always end up working because they think we're going to come out
01:11 and do the same thing we did in the first half.
01:12 So, Coach has a great intuition on when to change things up to put us in a better position to make plays.
01:18 You just hit the halfway point, 6-3. Pretty good spot to be in?
01:22 Yep, pretty good spot. You know, still got a long way to go.
01:25 A lot of good football to play. Now we're about to roll into the AFC North cycle here.
01:31 Back-to-back AFC North opponents. So, the road's going to be tough for us.
01:35 So, we just got to keep our head down and keep fighting.
