1 00:00:01,560 --> 00:00:07,120 Speaker 1: He was talking about the offensive weapons let down the list. 2 00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:10,320 Speaker 1: So but it be the backslun of guys white receivers, 3 00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:12,760 Speaker 1: a tight ends, they just a reductive how do you 4 00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:16,480 Speaker 1: guys go about see maybe at every position there exclusive. 5 00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:19,000 Speaker 1: That's something we talked about all week, like everyone has 6 00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:21,799 Speaker 1: to show up. Like it's not a game where we 7 00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:24,360 Speaker 1: can say, you know, let's just stop dealing. You know, 8 00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:27,440 Speaker 1: because I think even the guys that no one talks about, 9 00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:30,360 Speaker 1: they do a great job. We turn on the Detroit game, 10 00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:32,879 Speaker 1: you know, BB catches the first i think two or 11 00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:36,720 Speaker 1: three third downs for conversion. So um, it's everyone playing 12 00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:38,720 Speaker 1: well no matter who you get matched up on. If 13 00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:41,360 Speaker 1: we're in zone, that's known where everyone is. Because when 14 00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:43,199 Speaker 1: you play against a team with so many weapons and 15 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:45,960 Speaker 1: a really good quarterback, if you try, it's so hard 16 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:47,680 Speaker 1: to take one thing away. He's just gonna go to 17 00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:49,800 Speaker 1: the other thing. And they have too you know, too 18 00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:53,040 Speaker 1: many talented guys to just let them go. So um, 19 00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,000 Speaker 1: it's a test really for us as a whole, as 20 00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 1: a defense, where everyone has to really come and play 21 00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 1: our best game. For us to go out there and 22 00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:01,520 Speaker 1: play well. And as you've been played longer in your 23 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 1: career or ninth year. Now you kind of appreciate these 24 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:08,680 Speaker 1: chances late in the season, more playoffs in et cetera, 25 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,080 Speaker 1: because you you know that, you know you you only 26 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:12,720 Speaker 1: get so many of them. You kind of savor it 27 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 1: more than maybe you did when you were a younger player. 28 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,200 Speaker 1: I don't know. I think as you get older, you 29 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:22,039 Speaker 1: just understand each game is so important, not even later, 30 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:24,039 Speaker 1: because you just don't know how much longer you'll play, 31 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:28,680 Speaker 1: So each season kind of becomes more valuable to you personally. Um, 32 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,759 Speaker 1: you know, you get into thirty and up club Conda 33 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 1: and you just don't know. So m I wouldn't just say, 34 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:38,040 Speaker 1: now you know, late November early December is more important. 35 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 1: I would say every game this season and really the 36 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 1: last couple of years is just important. Just not known 37 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:45,760 Speaker 1: what the future holes and how many games you have 38 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 1: left in you would you say, and Dicks are the 39 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 1: league's top two receiver and duos? Would you say? Or 40 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 1: they're definitely up there? Um, you can go down the list. 41 00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 1: There's some pretty good duos out there, but you look 42 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 1: at these guys. I mean, it's like ninety something to 43 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 1: eighty something catches. It's one guy over a thousand you know, 44 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 1: over a thousand yards other guys on his way to 45 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,640 Speaker 1: a thousand yards. So um, and I think the hardest 46 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 1: thing as you go down, you know, fealing dig is 47 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 1: these guys are catching like almost seventy percent of the 48 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:20,919 Speaker 1: balls thrown to them, so very dynamic and explosive group. 49 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 1: But I think but the biggest thing is when the 50 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:26,240 Speaker 1: balls thrown they catch the ball. So that's third down conversions, 51 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 1: red area targets, like all of those times it shows up. 52 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 1: We gotta do a good job not only covering them, 53 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 1: but you know, we got get our ball, our hands 54 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 1: on the ball or they'll probably catch it. An in 55 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,959 Speaker 1: general sort of a philosophical kind of question or maybe 56 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 1: philosophical right word, I think that's the wrong way I'm 57 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,640 Speaker 1: gonna ask you. Anyway, it's harder to double somebody in 58 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 1: the slot versus on the outside. Um, I think in 59 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:53,960 Speaker 1: this league there's times you do all of it, So 60 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 1: I wouldn't say one's harder. Just have to know how 61 00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,240 Speaker 1: to play it. I think it definitely differs on how 62 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 1: you want to play. But double team and you can 63 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 1: do so many different ways. I think you just have 64 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 1: to kind of know how you're playing to do well 65 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,680 Speaker 1: at it. I don't know if, because you know, obviously 66 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:12,960 Speaker 1: you have the sideline to kind of use to your 67 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,240 Speaker 1: advantage that there's somebody on the outside there, if it 68 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,679 Speaker 1: just makes it harder because there's so much space that 69 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,360 Speaker 1: that slot receiver can use to go. Yeah, but I 70 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 1: think it's like anything, like even if you watch the 71 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 1: you know, the doubles on kickoff, you know, when you 72 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 1: don't kickoff returning you double guy, the most important thing 73 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 1: is knowing where your guy is, Like where's my guy 74 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 1: on this double team? Like if we're going to block 75 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 1: somebody and it's two verse one and you're on my 76 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 1: if you're to my right, I don't want to go 77 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 1: all the way to my right and let them back inside. 78 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 1: So I think it's more being able to work with 79 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 1: the man you're doubling. If you do double, there's a 80 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 1: thing you did last week, or you just have to 81 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 1: improve on what you do. But yeah, it's all cleans. 82 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 1: Like you know, I think the things from last week 83 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 1: that we didn't do well, like you just said, we 84 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 1: have to do better because we know in this league 85 00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 1: and when you don't do something well one week, it's 86 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 1: gonna come back up. So it's always kind of constantly 87 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 1: improving the things when we watched the film, when we 88 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 1: say this isn't good enough, it's fixing and working on 89 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 1: those things. But also remember, and you know, it's a 90 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 1: it's a new game. It's a totally different team than 91 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 1: when we played last week. So we can't just do 92 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 1: what we did last week a little bit better and 93 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: think it's gonna we're gonna win because we got some 94 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,279 Speaker 1: of the things are totally different, you know, than we 95 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 1: did last week, because the offenses are different. Game that 96 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 1: your offense it's getting is healthy? Is probabies ever been? 97 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 1: But maybe you're not going to be on the field 98 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 1: as much. I just hope it means they score a 99 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 1: lot of points. I mean, at the end of the day, Uh, 100 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 1: everyone's happy when we have more points than them. So 101 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 1: that means us putting up more points because we're healthy. 102 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:45,600 Speaker 1: I'm all for what have you built? Jason has handled 103 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 1: some of the different responsibilities he's had built set on 104 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 1: a conference call the other day, but you know he's 105 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 1: really been using variety of ways outside inside, Um, how 106 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 1: do you feel like he's handled all that build? So 107 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,720 Speaker 1: he handled it? Well? Yeah, I think he said he's 108 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:00,359 Speaker 1: been great for us. It's what he said, so I 109 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 1: can't say anything else. I mean, that'd be crazy. I 110 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,719 Speaker 1: guess he's doing okay. It's a difficult, though, is it 111 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 1: difficult to you've played a lot of physics for a 112 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 1: guy like for a guy like him, I say, it's 113 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 1: really difficult. So, um, hats off to him. He's doing 114 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 1: a good job of studying and learning. That's I wouldn't 115 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,720 Speaker 1: say that's something he's known to be good at. You 116 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:22,279 Speaker 1: got to share a lot of the same qualities so 117 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:29,280 Speaker 1: supposedly enough that maybe have not get this far and 118 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 1: these games have been dismeded for Can you see them 119 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 1: adjusting to what you guys are doing right now. I 120 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 1: think they're doing a good job of just kind of 121 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 1: rolling with how it's going. You know, we have a 122 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:42,800 Speaker 1: lot of guys who have been in that situation. I 123 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 1: think guys are doing a good job of not worrying 124 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 1: about you know, playoff seeding, you know who we play 125 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 1: in two weeks or the week after. It's just you know, 126 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 1: everyone's locked in on this weekend and what we need 127 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:56,840 Speaker 1: to do and prepare. And I think everyone that's new, 128 00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 1: whether it's a rookie or free agent. Um, they've just 129 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 1: been like, cool, let's do it, you know, let's roll. 130 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 1: And I think the older guy's doing a good job 131 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 1: of setting an example and not worrying about all the 132 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 1: outside stuff, but just coming to work and doing what 133 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,600 Speaker 1: we need to do. And I think when you do that, 134 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 1: that allows everyone to focus on the same thing. And 135 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 1: I think we're building towards being really good at coming 136 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 1: in each week, picking a target and what we need 137 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,120 Speaker 1: to focus on, and just attacking it throughout the week. 138 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 1: Speaking of new guys, what's ob Bright to her position group? 139 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:26,840 Speaker 1: And he's been here for three or four weeks now, 140 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:31,160 Speaker 1: and he's freaking huge, So he's a bigger, physical guy. 141 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 1: And I thought he's done a great job, whether it's 142 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,360 Speaker 1: staying after with Steve, talking to myself chunk, or do 143 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 1: you know when he's out there what we expect of 144 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 1: him and what we need him to do, and then 145 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:42,800 Speaker 1: what he expects of us and what we need to 146 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 1: do to help him. So I thought it was great 147 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 1: him getting out there last weekend and different packages and 148 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,839 Speaker 1: being able to help us. So very athletic guy, and 149 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 1: like I said, I mean he's able to go up 150 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 1: there and match up on some tight ends and where 151 00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 1: we talk about being undersized against him, he lines up 152 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 1: and it's like mine mono, same size, you know, Like 153 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,279 Speaker 1: you see him stand next to Grounk and you're like, dang, 154 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 1: you know, grind doesn't make this guy look little. So 155 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 1: I thought he's been brought a really good edge to 156 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 1: our group. Since you and Dron and Patton Nate have 157 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 1: been together for so long, it's can it be tough 158 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 1: for a new guy to kind of break into that group? Yeah? 159 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 1: I think sometimes we got to do a good job 160 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 1: of fully explaining some of the things we do, some 161 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 1: of the things naturally happen for us without any verbiage 162 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,360 Speaker 1: or anything, Whereas if you're coming in, you're like, it 163 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 1: doesn't really say that in the playbook and what we 164 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 1: need to do.
