Brandon Dunn

Press Conference


Ravens - 33, Texans - 16

Q. Brandon, we were just talking with Bill. In terms of the run defense, what are some of the things you're seeing that are sort of making it difficult to get these guys stopped, especially today in the fourth quarter?

BRANDON DUNN: It wasn't good enough discipline. A couple guys out of their gap. Just got to be better. It wasn't good enough today.

Q. I can't always hear, I apologize, but you gave up a bunch of yards on the ground. If that's what he's asked you, already asked you, if you could give some thoughts about what were the keys there, why did that happen and what do you do to fix that?

BRANDON DUNN: We got to play four quarters. I feel like we did a decent job first, second, and third. The fourth quarter really hurt us. It was a bend, but don't break, and we broke and we just got to look at the film and make the correction.

Q. What's the temperature in the locker room now that you're sitting here 0-2 going to Pittsburgh?

BRANDON DUNN: Nobody's happy. Everybody is teed off, which is a good thing because nobody should be happy being 0-2. So we just got to come back ready, make the corrections, be honest so we can get a W.

Q. For the majority of the game you guys did a pretty solid job at stopping the run, so I just want to know what happened between the first half and the second half?

BRANDON DUNN: Can't really tell you. We got to look at the film first. I can just tell you it wasn't good enough in the fourth quarter. Football's a game of inches, and in the fourth quarter we gave up too many of them. So it's not necessarily one guy, it's 11 guys, it takes a village. So we got to figure out what's our mistakes and fix them and so we can win a game.

Q. With the assignments in football, how much do you feel like what they do in terms of being unpredictable with the pistol and some of the different sets they have, how much do you feel like that's a factor in trying to defend these guys and made it more difficult?

BRANDON DUNN: It's difficult, but there's no excuses. It's their offense. The quarterback is a great player, so everything revolves around him and it's a do-your-job situation when you're playing them for four quarters. We just didn't get it done.

Q. Today Coach Harbaugh for the Ravens said that Coach Weaver came up with a great defensive plan, a very creative defensive plan. Was it something that you talked about all week to stop Lamar Jackson?

BRANDON DUNN: Yeah, you always game plan against our opponent. Our opponent was Lamar Jackson, so we have got together a great game plan, just didn't have a good fourth quarter.
