00:00Joe Witt talks about this defense trying to create turnovers, and you excelled at creating turnovers throughout your career.
00:07Is that something that you can count on? Is that something that you can kind of scheme?
00:11Obviously, it depends on the quarterback throwing a ball that you can catch or fumbling the ball, but is that something that you can scheme into a defense?
00:18Oh, no doubt. No doubt you can scheme it into the personality of your defense.
00:22I mean, Joe Witt was one of my coaches, man, back in Atlanta, back in the day.
00:25And Witt is a great, great football coach, great football of mine, and even Dan Quinn, you know, just knowing him and knowing the kind of coach he is, that's what they preach.
00:35They preach when a ball carrier is carrying that football, it's not his football. It's ours.
00:40So we're always constantly punching at it.
00:43You know, I had a chance to coach Frankie Louvo when he was in, you know, in Carolina.
00:48And I remember even just going up to him, showing him like, hey, look, hey, Frankie, check this out.
00:52When most guys tackle, this is how they tackle.
00:55And I'm showing him.
00:56And then I'm fitting up around the football.
00:58And I say, when I tackle, this is what I'm tackling.
01:01Like, I'm tackling the football because once you initially hit that runner, and Beeman, you know this better than anybody.
01:07Once you hit that runner, he's bracing.
01:10Some of them, the great ones are thinking about the ball, but some of these kind of green ones aren't thinking about the ball.
01:15That's when I'm raking nothing but football, as you saw in that Dallas game that I was able to get the football out.
01:21But I've been doing that since Pop Warner.
01:22My little son's in the eighth grade.
01:25He does it almost to a fault.
01:27I'm like, son, wrap up.
01:28Stop trying to get the football.
