G Michael Deiter

(Is it just you guys kind of look at the defensive scheme and the way they attack or does it matter that a guy like Browns DE Myles Garrett isn’t going to be out there?) – “It definitely matters and the thing you want to find out is who do we plan on seeing if it’s not going to be him and who else is going to play – 65 (Larry Ogunjobi) is out, too – so who’s going to play that position? Then the scheme, you study either way. You’ve got to figure out what they want to do first, second, third down, what they want to get to; but you also need to try to figure out what they plan on doing personnel-wise. Both of them you need to figure out, and you do need to figure out because we don’t really know because Myles (Garrett) has been playing a lot, so we just need to figure (it) out. We kind of have an idea, but we never know. We need to figure out who’s going to play and then schematically, it should be similar. It should be the same, but (we’ve) got to figure out who’s going to play and get ready to play them (and) figure out what they do.”

(Is that kind of something you take on yourself or is that just a point that the coaches have been making – just “hey, kind of get to know everybody?”) – “It’s definitely both. It is coaches saying like, ‘it could be this guy. It could be that guy. Watch film on them. Get a feel for them.’ Then it’s you at the same time, knowing you might get this guy, you might get that guy, have an idea of what they like to get to in certain situations and you just need to figure it out. It is coaches telling you, and it’s also, it’s got to be on you, too.”

(On going forward after the Buffalo game.) – “We just need to get better. We definitely didn’t play our best game. There’s no denying that but can’t just sulk about it. We’ve got to get better. It’s as simple as that. We didn’t play good enough, so (we) come back in here this week and work and try to get better. That’s what we’ve done, so we need to go out there Sunday and play better and just keep trending in the right direction and no more setbacks.”
