[0:01]" it. How about written in the sense that -- it didn't come along there. The -- immediate step back and scheme that Markakis stuff back and we enduring a job down there we had a couple from. Individual breakdowns I think over all. -- that's what's kind of been all year and something one person one place but that's all it takes me in doesn't make it any better yeah week we definitely get back on track thought we kind of had and we just we get some breakdowns in the game. And we should go to education and occasions partner. We don't know that one I'm definitely want to communicate want to was just or technique. And we just bad technique on one particular play and on another one and had to do was and communication them. I think everybody gets close but -- politics so. Yeah it only takes one place and time what happens on -- take on two of those they were on third downs so. You know say overall some times the red zones not. Playing well isn't necessarily true it is because it ends up being score. But you know you stop on first -- stop and second down those were good plays and then for whatever reason we have a breakdown third. And I really think we look back veterans on for the year that truly been our nemesis is brought in third down."

[1:26]" Even mention technique is. Have you been happy with the tackling and Alaska hurricanes is that something that you guys are working on yesterday today. Just really recognize after that."

[1:36]" Right I think the media is happens. We still -- watch on films and play -- around the league and everybody kind of later in the year starts get sloppy Aaron's locker warrior. We're going to coming out of training camp analyst of so hard. You know we've yeah we've certainly got to do a better job of that and that's one of things technique wise we just got a better -- opera and especially against. So he's actually based on you know -- Wrap up Jacobs. Oh and we don't play and no matter who we face they're going to have a good backs so we can do better job."

[2:10]" He's still want to try to get your arms around a guy like Jacobs in a lot of people trying to take him out of the knees just an -- That's that's not the way to go."

[2:18]" But human -- jump over so -- obviously it doesn't work. It when you attack but you gotta wrap up you know no matter what the tackle equities I mean you try to tackle different -- different ways. Try to know what their strengths are just like anything else and tried to. You know beat them at their weaknesses not their strengths that sometimes just cut block them. Doesn't get it done which ended with him you gotta wrap open."

[2:43]" Like Ellis had good coverage on Plaxico -- first woman bombed. On the first series is there anything you can do differently there mean Klesko six at least 59."

[2:55]" You know I was a little thing on technique Pacific sometimes. You know -- and into great detail sometimes based on coverage. What you may end up seeing maybe not the reality what the coverages he should have some help. And India and it's kind of like when you go back to the Steelers game and I know he was. -- hit a little bit on the fact that Davenport caught that ball in the end zone be truthful what their analysis of he was close trying to hopes somebody else but he gets blamed for the coverage so sometimes what you always you may see. From the stands -- from the media -- from somebody else may not necessarily Buick breakdown was jealous had decent position on the thing I mean are obviously it Aikman better if you knock the ball down. But he should also ahead based on -- courage that we had some help on that."

[3:51]" So there was another there was -- factor that are involved. And develop into specific the fact that he was outside of him that's generally where he was supposed to be and help would have an inside look. Last few weeks you've been employed and I sit down and actually it's meriwether Wilson. Ops so what what -- even looked into accomplish with with that group because that's been sort of a bit different things that that we've seen coming in here the last few weeks."

[4:25]" Really just goes from week to week trying to put the best people in the best positions and sometimes that's. As you know throughout the year that sometimes has been done sometimes has been -- sometimes and Rodney at the star position sometimes rotting inside as a linebacker and we've tried Meriweather -- right geno we we're we're trying to use them all it's not release something. It is mostly based on just how guys practice during the week and who feel gives us the best chance to win. With what we're trying to do that week. Some weeks were trying to play a lot of man coverage or try to play the guys playing man coverage about it some we -- plans on -- or try to for the guys that play zone covers us. And so it may not always be the exact same guys in the same positions some weeks we want to pressure certainly one. Play the guys that bullets that does not some that Campbell so it just it has got on the game plans and plans to place. You -- a general idea of ran sort of fair I think he's he's he's come along daisies. You know worked hard throughout the year I think he's progressed you know he's got himself in -- position Maurice -- And some playing time here as of late and -- you know I just think that he's progressed this this year and any plans certainly a lot better right now than it or it. Early in the year -- and you know we're pleased with them always work enemies in Florida and all the time getting better."

[5:50]" You mentioned Federer -- and as the eagles game to mention that occasionally any you're. Down you know guys DBs were caught peeking in the backfield assuming a sack amendment it happens a little out of position has that been an ongoing issue at all in your mind."

[6:06]" the ongoing what's happened a couple times as a later happens Steelers game with touchdown of Davenport. I happen in the two minute situation with the giants is the war and the quarterback got outside of the pocket we have. Had a tendency to cover the short guys and not the deeper guys as not necessarily we're taking our eyes off. Somebody and going to be losing coverage which which is a problem if your man coverage. But in both those instances we're in zone coverage. And there was a short route opened fifty -- and she you know the guys he's the guy problem. Fleischer probably it's hard sometimes you go back not want to go to take that guy that's got to worry about the high. And for example -- to tie it and Manning did on that two minute Earl Wright or have the twenty yard gain when he scrambled out. And to his left. Well -- the -- game he threw it was 25 yard and Indian animal that momentum into the human girl. On second down that's what we got to guard against just doing a better job -- back understand work in a we've got. Potential bad play don't make it worse that's what we've got to try to preach to -- that just sometimes he wanted to run with the ball down field. You know don't make a bad angle mound make it twenty yard -- fifty yard game you know it's bad don't make worse and then we've got a couple."

[7:34]" As a coordinator how different would it be playing a team that you've already. Played in the first round of playoffs played a teenager or -- versus maybe -- teams haven't played this year. Differences and you'll -- your job."

[7:46]" Early on our early could you kind of try to look at I mean the only advantage is that you get some budget games already broken that that you don't have down the back breakdown but. You know you've got to sit down and figure out if they're going to what they've done since you last played them have they changed as the personnel changed. So to me it's count when you play a team. The second time where there almost like your plans for the first time you have to look at back. You know what they've done since you played them have they want and they lost as a personal different formations different that you -- the personal differently. You got to approach different try to think a little bit about well now we did this against them are they going to. Combat that you know sometimes you get into that the end of change in a bunch of things that they haven't figured out how to fix yeah and so you just feel like it's."

[8:35]" So arguably if you were to say play Pittsburgh I mean they don't have what parker anymore that would be -- difference in our Hewitt. Approach them defensively."

[8:43]" Might be but that they're there again the offense corners that's called the place he may still be on the same running plays -- the Roy or maybe different. But the placement being in the you don't know that. So they may use Davenport it's just differences he may not be a bounce our Mormon downhill runner just like last week if you had Jacobs and pretzel mean they're two different style runners and guys call on the place so you kind of to a based on what -- hornet on. And then know what the personnel is personal is that you --"

[9:16]" But the judge -- of the pick she could swoop in and get the falcons count."

[9:21]" I I don't think there's gotta be priority the what do you care"
