Press PassPress Pass | Ryan Nielsen on Areas of Improvement, Caleb Williams, Travon Walker
Hey, Ryan, Uh, could you talk a little bit about what was going on with the defense in the last five minutes of that game, particularly the you know, obviously the last two drives. It would seem like with the two score lead, cover two would be the you know, the conservative play. But it it didn't look like you guys were always in cover two? Was there was there some confusion going on there? What was what was up with the last two drives because you get they had one hundred and fifty two yards and four plays.
Yeah, really, I mean that's what you know, you look back at it, you know the game, Uh, you know, we had a game up up two scores, and you know we uh were playing the two minute situation, and we had a quarters call uh for that situation right there, expecting the deep ball. Uh yeah, I could have been into too too high right there. And then the second one, you know, we're we're cloud to the boundary and we were playing in a quarter concept to the field. So yeah, I got to do a better job, make a better call, and uh, you know, get off the field right there in that situation.
In your career, seriously, have you ever seen something just kind of I don't know, I get I guess fall apart so quickly. I mean, when you have a two score lead, I mean obviously, I mean other teams can make plays, but the fact that they had that there was, you know, two significantly deep balls in that situation, I would think as a coordinator that would have to drive you nuts.
Yeah, typically was not expecting that at all. I was expecting the deep balls, but not the result of the play. So again, you know, got to got to make a better call and get off the field in those situations for sure. Uh.
At one follow up, you said you got to make a better call. You So are you putting it on you for that?
It's all me.
No, it's not our players, It's on me on me. Okay, all right, thanks, thank you.
Good to John Shipley, followed by Mia hey.
Ron, thanks for doing this. So if you guys stayed safe through tonight and everything with Trayvon and the kind of game that he had, I mean, just what really to you, you know, was kind of the light switch moment for him and kind of his development and kind of having that kind of performance.
His I tell you, when you watch the game from the first pass rush to the last, he had a really good pass rush, playing throughout, changing up his rushes with some power, some finesse on the edge, running guys over, you know, some up and under things that it was really impressive to watch, you know, his plan that he put together. He did a really good job with that and executed like and finished, you know, so when you look at the whole body of work, I mean, he played really well.
And then the last one for me, just I know, Kidler Williams only five NFL starts under his belt, but what have you really seen from him so far and kind of what he brings to the table.
He's a phenomenal athlete. I mean the guy the balance, the pocket presence, get he's getting out of sacks all over the place, you know, running around making plays with his feet, and then he can make every single will throw it. I mean, the guy who's got a canon for an arm. He got some really good awareness and he continues to get better, like from the first game to Alaska. I mean, you've seen a steady growth of this player. It would be a good test, all right, thank you.
Hey Ryan Hope all as well if you could evaluate your safety play through the first five weeks of the season. Also knowing like Doug told us yesterday that sounds like Toshan would will make the trip over there and could be available as early as that second London game.
Yeah, I think we've had some some really good moments. I think, you know, you look at the first half of the Miami game, guys were all over the place, and then you know, there's just a few plays here and there. You know, a Cleveland game, I think, you know, and even even in Houston, you know, at times, you know, guys are all over the place. But then we've had some moments where, you know, it seems that, you know, we just got to change up some calls and get some guys in some better positions to make some plays. Again, that's on me. Mea got to make that happen for those guys and execute and play full sixty minutes.
And then just as far as Tyson's window being activated, what sort of boost does that bring to your defense as well as maybe what that allows for you guys to do at that position in particular.
Yeah, sure, you know, getting him back is huge, and when that happens, you know you'll see him. I mean, wind those open so he'll be here the next couple of games. Really good player, talented, could cover anybody. I mean it's it's impressive the things that he can do on the field, and so getting him back is a huge boost. As any other player, you know, you don't want to lose anybody, but getting Tyson back, they'll be good to see him back on the field with our defense. Thank you.
