00:00 >> Well, you know, coach did a good job of outlining what we should expect
00:04 coming into this game.
00:06 We wasn't gonna throw the ball past 10 yards, let our edge pressures disrupt
00:10 the game as they did in the first hour that we had.
00:13 So we knew there was gonna be a lot of feet, we knew they were gonna implement
00:18 screens, so the point of emphasis of going into this, we've been getting our hands up.
00:23 Trying to bat balls down because we knew we weren't gonna have many opportunities
00:28 getting to the quarterback.
00:29 So we understood that going into the game,
00:34 we just wanted to, our point of emphasis, especially up front, is faster run.
00:39 And obviously get your hands up to try to bat down those quick thrown passes.
00:43 Because when a quarterback have quick releases,
00:46 that's in the game plan, it's gonna be hard to disrupt him in the pocket.
00:50 >> And what can you guys do as a secondary in that quick a time to try to minimize
00:55 some of those routes and those options if that's what Cincinnati throws at you guys?
00:58 >> Yeah, we just have to go and see.
01:01 We haven't had an opportunity to look at Cincinnati just yet.
01:04 We're about to head into meetings and clear up the field from yesterday.
01:08 So like I said, I think they're gonna try to attack us and
01:13 try to have that same game plan as they had, as the Cleveland Browns had.
01:18 Not put themselves in any trouble, try to put it on their defense and
01:23 they run a game and keep themselves in the game and
01:26 see what happens in the fourth quarter.
01:27 So I have all the faith in Coach Tia and Coach Tomlin that
01:34 I won't necessarily say learn from our mistakes, but
01:39 we learn from this experience by going up against a backup quarterback and
01:42 getting into a win with another backup quarterback.
