00:00and this is where we'll see if this is frustrating to rj choppy or if he just thinks it's talk right

00:20here uh matt eberflus have you and micah discussed specifically how he's going to be used we had a

00:26meeting him and i had about a half hour meeting uh you know uh yesterday on that very subject his him

00:31and i in my office and uh you know for him you have to move this guy around now what's great about

00:36our current roster is that we have other rushers um now that can rush you know so to pay attention

00:42to one particular rusher is going to be more difficult than if you just had one on one side

00:47so um that's going to be a good thing too so you will have to do let we can do less of that

00:52we can do less of that and now we got other rushers and we get we can move them around

00:58and we don't have to worry about necessarily just saying mikey you got to go get to the

01:02quarterback every single time does that concern you at all chop oh that's just rhetoric they're

01:08just talking man like you get into the game there's gonna be 50 you know 50 plays that he's in 60 plays

01:14that he's in he's gonna be rushing the passer on basically every drop back i believe in maddie

01:20refluce's career when he has been a defensive coordinator which going back to college and

01:26into the nfl when he's been a defensive coordinator or a head coach i think he's had

01:29one pass rusher that's gotten double digit sacks wow his career and i think it was at missouri i think

01:35it was like it was somebody like uh coney ealy or somebody i can't remember who it was coney ealy it

01:40was somebody at missouri it was somebody at missouri who had who had picked up double digit sacks but he

01:45is uh he's routinely or no it was just in houston in indianapolis picked up 10 and a half and that's

01:51the only time that he's ever gotten double digit sacks because it's not really the style of the

01:55defense it's a lot of stuff where you're getting so you're not thinking it's a lack of talent it's

02:00the style the style is going to focus so much more on penetration from the defensive tackles that

02:06basically it can spread the wealth a little bit of the sacks and it's also about just trying to

02:12generate bad decisions and generate bad throws
