00:00 How were they able to sustain the running game and keep things going even after they lost Nick Chubb
00:04 several weeks ago? Well, it's a good scheme. They have a great
00:08 line coach, have good backs. It's a really good
00:12 scheme. It's an outside zone scheme that runs
00:16 the gap scheme very well. And they're committed to it. It's a team
00:20 strategy. Running football, playing great defense,
00:24 and winning football games. So it's working for them.
00:28 Because you're facing a rookie quarterback, does it allow you to take more
00:32 chances in how you might want to defend the run game?
00:36 We have a plan each week, Troy.
00:40 Obviously this week is stopping the run. It's going to be one of our main objectives.
00:44 But each week it's different. It's a young quarterback, but he has good
00:48 legs. He can make throws. So it won't be like a high school football game.
00:52 They have good skilled players. The plan has to
00:56 be right to do both, always. Once you win
01:00 first down, you have to defend the pass game, and the boot game, and the screen game.
01:04 So it won't be one way. It's never one way on Sunday. So we'll see how
01:08 it works on Sunday. But obviously it's a run first team. So having a plan to get that
01:12 stop is always critical.
