00:00Is there any concern?
00:16I know you're talking about the confidence with Mike Zimmer.
00:18Is there any concern that the last two times he was running his own defense, both of those
00:23defenses did pretty poorly statistically for the season.
00:28So can you tell us more about your confidence in Zimmer in particular?
00:32Yeah, I just think in general, he did a lot of work, unlike some other coaches that sit
00:37out a year.
00:38And, you know, he knows this game well.
00:41He's been a very successful coordinator, a very successful head coach and, you know,
00:46have all the confidence in the world that he's going to put these guys in the right
00:50spot.
00:51He did a great job the first week and, you know, we just came up against a Saints team
00:56that's hot.
00:57They obviously had a very successful outing to start the season.
01:01And, you know, we've just got to continue to our players and coaches getting on the
01:07same page in terms of what we need to do to to execute the defense and get the job done.
01:14Steven, it feels like we're going on a few years now.
01:17This team kind of getting punched in the mouth by I don't know if you're going to say better
01:20teams in the NFL, but like kind of getting bullied a little bit.
01:24And I was kind of curious on how do you how does a team change its identity in those moments
01:30and become the aggressor?
01:31Where do you think that starts?
01:32Well, first of all, I'd start with, you know, the Browns are, you know, they're a really
01:37good football team, a playoff football team.
01:40And we went on the road and, you know, we felt really good about it.
01:44Unfortunately, we didn't do the same thing at home.
01:47And the narrative was last year we won all the games at home and didn't went on the road.
01:53We just got to, you know, find the right mix here and not only get it done on the road
01:58like we did against the Browns, but which is a great playoff football team.
02:02They obviously won a big game this weekend and they play great defense.
02:07And we've just got to, you know, really get in here and execute.
02:12And that's what it boils down to.
02:14We've got a really good roster and we feel like very confident in this team.
