00:00You know what I think with the Raiders you look at them they have the potential
00:04to score a lot of points and I know they've got some guys injured you know
00:08we learned the back is out the tackles out but those guys didn't play in
00:11Tennessee and they had 21 points right away in that game too so they've got
00:15enough players now they're very talented they've got some guys that always pose a
00:19big play ability and we're very familiar with that so we got to keep our eye on
00:25multiple players on their team on their offense just because they have those
00:29capabilities what we're going to get there's a little bit of uncertainty you
00:33know with some of the changes that they have so it's going to have to be relying
00:36on you know some of our fundamental principles and I think it really every
00:40game comes back to that how you tackle in space you know how you play your
00:44fundamentals and things like that so be a big test for us
00:49You know we utilize Derwin different ways you know some games will come up and
00:59you know he's a big part of our blitz package you know he's played outside
01:04linebacker he's played you know inside linebacker for us and you know it's
01:09really based on the game plan and that's where he gives us some flexibility to do
01:13that based on who we're playing so he just does some unique things things
01:17that maybe were an issue or maybe you know it would be a you know a back
01:22check down normally is five or six yards he has the ability to really eat up that
01:26space and and take those plays away so he's a good tackler last week against
01:31Minnesota we got both him and AP on the field at the same time just to generate
01:36more speed and you know and it was effective for us when they were both out
01:40there no yeah unbelievable mentality you know you would think that hey let me
01:50just get a feel for how this is but really from day one when he came back
01:54and he was cleared it was 100 miles an hour so our training staff did a really
01:59good job bringing him along to where you know sometimes when you get a player off
02:03the you know IR and then it's just kind of wean them and get them back into it
02:07but it was just unique when he stepped on the field he was ready to go at least in his mind.
