It bled a little bit, but there’s some 4- or 5-yarders in there, but not like the 20, 30, 50-yarders that they’ve been ripping off every week. and Carl Davis, and those guys did a good job inside. So, you have to give a lot of credit to those guys, Bentley, Tavai, D.G. Two very good tackles, right? That’s really where a lot of those off tackle plays get going. No one guy can stop the run game, but certainly it helped with the good edge play from Ju and Wise to try to slow down those off tackle runs. I thought, again, defensively it’s team defense. That was really the big run, but that’s been a very productive play for them going all the way back to the Eagles game. This is a very good off-tackle and counter team. Again, he is a very physical presence for us on the end of the line. It’s just good team defense.īB: Ju had another great day. The linebackers, Jahlani, Bentley had a lot of awareness of him to just not make his routes easy, to try to reroute him, force him to go over or under the coverage, things like that. had him some, Devin had him some, Pep had him some. Coach set a good game plan, and the guys that were on him, particularly Kyle, but A.P. It’s kind of everybody doing their job, but we tried to reroute them a little bit. They have a good group of skill players, good backs. Brown is an excellent receiver obviously. They have a good quarterback, good receiver. We were able to I think disrupt the timing of the Detroit passing game, which, again, is very good. I think some of the credit in our pass defense goes to the pass rush. We tried to disrupt the timing a little bit. I think there’s definitely some benefit to the playing time that he had in preseason in the games that he has played the last two weeks.īB: Give credit to the players, the defensive coaches. Maybe he might not have done the right thing, but he saw the game. What he saw is usually what I saw or maybe when you look at the film, maybe there’s something that’s a little gray in there that his explanation is actually good. He does a good job of seeing the game and can come off and identify and articulate what he saw, what happened. I couldn’t put a percentage on it or anything, but certainly it helped.

But he learns well whether he is in there or not. That’s what we’re going to try to do.īB: I thought it was better definitely being able to get in the huddle every day, call a play, see it, execute it versus watching somebody else do it. Hopefully we can just keep building as a team and continue to improve every week like we have if we work hard and really understand how we can play better, what we need to do to play better, coach better, communicate better.

Thought he showed some poise there at some pressure situations where he got out of it and found an open receiver, made good decision. Bailey made a lot of good decisions, was accurate with the ball.

Our offensive line continues to be a strength. Rhamondre (Stevenson) was great with the ball. Missed some opportunities in the red area, but in the end enough points to win. Obviously, (TJ) Hockenson, one of the top tight ends in the league, really focused on him. Really proud of that whole unit, the staff, the players, pass rush coverage, our tackling.

To go out there and keep those guys off the board, whatever it was, five, six, fourth downs, and just a lot of good competitive defensive football. Obviously, defensively, top scoring team in the league, top everything in the league, yards, points, red area, you name it. They did a good job all week with the kind of change in the practice schedule and just having the team ready to go today. Start with the coaching staff, I thought they did a great job this week all the way across the board. BB: It’s nice to come in here after a game like that.
