Oregon Ducks Coach Dan Lanning discusses what the defense needs to improve on

Transcript

00:00What do you think about Dante open up the deep passing game and be able to stretch the

00:08defense vertically with some big shots to DeCorean and Malik?

00:11Yeah, and we had some of those dialed up last week and they didn't necessarily become part

00:16of what we were trying to do.

00:17Some of those we probably tabled, right, because of the situation of the game last week.

00:20But we want to be a team that can beat you, you know, by air and by land.

00:23And, you know, that showed up today.

00:25So we have some real deep threats.

00:27We have good protection, like those plays, everybody's going to help, you know, give

00:31credit to the quarterback in the wideout.

00:32But the key to that is unbelievable protection.

00:34And I think, you know, the very first one, I want to say Jay Lamar had a great block, you

00:38know, in the core and the offensive line held up, you know, against some guys that are good

00:43pass rushers.

00:43So that's it's a big win for us.

00:48Dan, defensively, eight, three and outs, two takeaways, with the exception of the run defense

00:52late or the one third down conversion when you rushed eight.

00:55Anything that even sticks in your car remotely about the defense in a negative way when it's

01:00that dominant?

01:02Yeah, I mean, I think you said it.

01:03The run game, I think we can be better at.

01:05We're going to see what we're like blocking and shedding blocks.

01:07You know, you're not going to get holding calls at the end of the game in a situation

01:09like that.

01:10And there probably were a few, but that doesn't change our standard.

01:13Ultimately, it's one of our better defensive performances since we've been here.

01:17I thought the coaching staff was really dialed.

01:19Coach Lapoy and the staff did a good job of knowing what we wanted to be able to prevent.

01:23You know, this has been a team that's usually able to create a lot of explosive plays.

01:26You didn't necessarily see that today.

01:27You know, you know, when you're the other players, you have to remove the imagery and

01:32you have to turn them into a little shaped, you don't necessarily be able to develop them.

01:32You know, you came back that way, but you get to take advantage of when you're

01:34going.

01:35You don't necessarily seeπωνely playing unless you're not, but you're doing secret Of

01:36the same thing.

01:36You look at the front, it's going to make light.

01:38But you're going to see where you're going to take a moment, you're going to go これ

01:43and the BCPD, you're going to get a moment and continue.

01:47There's going to be a moment.

01:49Then I guess Jess that had to say thein or Fighting, you've got great
