1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:01,759
Speaker 1: That's up, guys, all right?

2
00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:05,040
Speaker 2: Injuries for practice today, Ricky personal knee, will not practice,

3
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 2: the Winners knee limited, Brindle Hamstring Limited, Tatum thigh limited,

4
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:14,120
Speaker 2: Bryce Helf hamstring limited, rock Perty toe limited.

5
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:15,120
Speaker 1: Go ahead?

6
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:24,599
Speaker 3: Is you're gonna sit back with prisall or how was

7
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 3: the status right now?

8
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 4: Just the same as what I said last week? No

9
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 4: step back, just take longer to hell than we thought.

10
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 5: As far as Brandon and you are, are you confident

11
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 5: that he's going to play this year or is there

12
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 5: a possibility that he doesn't.

13
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:42,520
Speaker 6: He doesn't ever get that window open and it.

14
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 4: Doesn't play, I would think, I mean, I'm pretty confident

15
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 4: that he's going to eventually, I mean at least open

16
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,559
Speaker 4: up his practice one window. And we talked about it

17
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 4: being week to week right now, so still wait until

18
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 4: he's ready.

19
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 6: Is it a matter of you know, hit him hitting

20
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 6: these marks, you know, the GPS stuff, the speech to

21
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 6: those types of things, very.

22
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 1: Technical things at this point.

23
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 6: Yes, you didn't mention at arch would your plan be

24
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 6: with that he's healthy?

25
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 1: That just slotted right back in as the start.

26
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 4: Uh, We'll see how the week goes and depends how

27
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 4: he looks. That spends it a real good job last week, so,

28
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 4: but he's not limited today, he's full go, so.

29
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 1: Gives him a better chance. But we'll see how the

30
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 1: week plays out.

31
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,399
Speaker 3: Use eater have and is there a chance he'll be

32
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 3: back this year or is it bad enough.

33
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 1: That no, he pulled his hamstring? But yeah, there he'll

34
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: be back.

35
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,960
Speaker 5: What do you think of Jordan Watkins obviously kind of

36
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,199
Speaker 5: making his way back on the field the last two games.

37
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 1: What do you think about what you've seen from him?

38
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 5: And then how does it kind of help out with

39
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 5: the as to say injuries with the way.

40
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 4: I received, Well, I mean he's gotten up and got

41
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 4: his opportunity because of the injuries. So that's why he's

42
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 4: been up the last two weeks. And I thought he

43
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 4: had a big play last week on the second and

44
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 4: twelve that we went to him on and just getting

45
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 4: better each week and waiting for more opportunities.

46
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 3: Do you see yourself giving Rock more first team round

47
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 3: this week? Yeah?

48
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: I'd like to. Yeah, plan on pushing it each week.

49
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 3: One rookie we haven't seen it as Jordan James.

50
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: How's he doing in practice?

51
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 5: And was the planned to sort of regard him this

52
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 5: year if the veterans ahead of him stay healthy or

53
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 5: could he work.

54
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 1: His way onto the field.

55
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 4: No, I think he could work his way onto the field.

56
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 4: I think it's tough. You know, the plan wasn't too originally,

57
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 4: but hurt his knee. I think his first practice came

58
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 4: back two weeks later, broke his pinky, then missed all

59
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,799
Speaker 4: that and so he missed an entire training camp. Came

60
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 4: back I think in week two. Once he did, we

61
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 4: had already traded for Brian. You know, we have Isaac

62
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 4: with our special team's role in the past game, and

63
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 4: I think Jordan's We's been getting more reps in practice,

64
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,239
Speaker 4: doing a good job, and hopefully we'll be able to

65
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 4: get him up sometime this year.

66
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 6: You were, excuse me, grow fairly candid before the trade

67
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 6: deadline of the week? Who are about what you guys

68
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 6: were looking for? Your approach? I think a lot of fans,

69
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 6: you know, when you don't make any of the move

70
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 6: besides Keanon white, like do that as some sort of

71
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,519
Speaker 6: a white flag on the season or whatever. I guess,

72
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 6: how would you respond to factly didn't make a significant

73
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 6: move and like kind of likes on how you viewed

74
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 6: this year's team.

75
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't think it has to do with how

76
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 4: we be this year's team. I think we worked just

77
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 4: as hard this year to make a trade that made

78
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 4: sense for our team this year and next year, just

79
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:19,639
Speaker 4: as hard as we do every year. I mean, there's

80
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 4: there's a lot of teams with records like six and

81
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 4: three or better than didn't make any big trade. They're

82
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 4: not Just because you make a big trade doesn't mean

83
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:29,639
Speaker 4: it's always a smart move. There's a lot of risk

84
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 4: that goes into it, not just for this year, but

85
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 4: throughout your whole future. I was excited we were to

86
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 4: be able to make it one that we felt real

87
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 4: good about last week and getting keyon. I know we

88
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 4: looked into a ton of them, but the asking price

89
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 4: was too much on all the ones Ki.

90
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 5: When you had the Elnja Mitchell here, you finished games

91
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 5: with him.

92
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 6: What do you want to see from these other backs

93
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 6: or what do you want to see from a back

94
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 6: that you want to finish a game with because you're

95
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 6: finishing with Christian.

96
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: Now, I guess.

97
00:03:57,840 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 4: I mean that they're running the ball the same way.

98
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 4: I'm at that Brian stepped into a good job. I

99
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 4: mean we never said he like Elishah was our finisher

100
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 4: by any means, It's just how it played out. Sometimes

101
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 4: sometimes you go in and a guy runs two good

102
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 4: runs and you stick with them for a little bit.

103
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 4: But yeah, no, we never had any role for any backwards,

104
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 4: like all right, this guy goes and finishes it, this

105
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 4: guy starts it. It's really just the momentum how guys

106
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 4: are doing. And I think Brian has really stepped it

107
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 4: up these last couple of weeks. He's got a couple

108
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 4: more opportunities, made some big plays on special teams and

109
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 4: hopefully we can get him in there.

110
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 5: More pile between max play on the field and his leadership.

111
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: Is he even better than advertised?

112
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 4: I mean, I guess maybe a little better than advertised,

113
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:43,599
Speaker 4: but that's just based off how good advertisements are Max

114
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 4: always he's just done so much in college and done

115
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 4: a lot in this league, So we had a pretty

116
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 4: good we had a good feeling that he could be

117
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,919
Speaker 4: like this, and he's been like this since Ota, so

118
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 4: hasn't been much of a surprise for everyone in the building.

119
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 6: Pretty notices the kicker, and then yet you hired a

120
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,599
Speaker 6: new coordinator. What do you think else has gone into

121
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:02,559
Speaker 6: the overall improven of special teams?

122
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: Particularly the last month or so.

123
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 4: I mean, I think making kicks and getting a pump

124
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 4: blocked as usually see, the biggest things that stick out

125
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,280
Speaker 4: the most are giving up a big return. I mean

126
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 4: those are you can play really good special teams, and

127
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 4: any one of those three things happens on just one play,

128
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 4: then it's catastrophic special teams. So I think we've been

129
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 4: able to avoid some of the bigger plays that we

130
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 4: missed last year. Obviously, the kicker being on it like

131
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 4: he has been has really helped. And then I think

132
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 4: a number of the guys we brought in, and I

133
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 4: think all three specialists have done a real good job

134
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 4: and they've all gotten better throughout the year too. I

135
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 4: think guys like Gibson, guys like Neil, I mean Giffard,

136
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 4: guys like Neil. Bringing those guys in have helped a bunch,

137
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 4: and I think guys are just proven.

138
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 3: Giving guys guys back healthy is going to give you

139
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 3: the situation where the rookies don't have to play as

140
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 3: much can and that be good at this part of

141
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 3: the season that they got those reps in the up,

142
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:54,840
Speaker 3: but maybe to take a step back so they can

143
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 3: avoid you know, the rookie.

144
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,599
Speaker 4: Ball or rep Yeah, I think so. I mean, I

145
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 4: think lots of guys get opportunity because of injury, and

146
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,840
Speaker 4: I think opportunities always help people. Whether you did good

147
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 4: with it or bad with it, you can learn from it.

148
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 4: And sometimes when you don't have to do it for

149
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 4: an entire year or something like that, sometimes you get

150
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 4: in there and you can manage it for a little bit,

151
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 4: but you're not quite ready for it, so eventually you

152
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 4: break down. And so when you can get in and

153
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 4: get out, I do think it helps.

154
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 5: Gus Well, I've been wanting to ask you about Jake Tanjis,

155
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 5: you know, a local guy and went to cal and

156
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 5: what have you seen from him this season that sort

157
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 5: of allowed this breakout as far as his performance.

158
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 4: Really just stepping it up in game moments and just

159
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 4: showing his teammates and everyone that the game's not too

160
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 4: big for him. Starting back to the Seattle game, we

161
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 4: had such a big game plan for Kittle that game,

162
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 4: and we weren't at all anticipating losing them as early

163
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 4: as we did, and we had to change a bunch

164
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 4: of stuff and eventually you just got to say screw

165
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 4: it and live with results. And every time we went

166
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 4: to him, he made a bunch of plays and we

167
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,039
Speaker 4: made a game winning play, and then he's done it

168
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 4: every week since, and not just in the past game,

169
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 4: but also in the run game, playing through some juries.

170
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 4: So we always knew we had some ability, but I

171
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 4: feel like you just really matured in the moment and

172
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 4: it's been getting it done on Sundays.

173
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 3: Give Sean McVay drew place for you early in his career.

174
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 1: What do you remember about his time in that role?

175
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 1: About what uh when he when Sean Drew plays for you?

176
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 3: Uh?

177
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: So, yeah, Sean was awesome.

178
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 4: I you know, I remember my dad and I interviewing

179
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 4: him and he killed it in it.

180
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 1: My dad was more impressed with it.

181
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 4: I thought he was doing it John Grudden impersonation the

182
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 4: whole time, but obviously I'm just joking. I was impressed too,

183
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 4: But I had the same j job that Sean had

184
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 4: for Gruden. So what I did for John for two years,

185
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 4: I think after me was Nate Hackett, and then after Nate,

186
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 4: I think was Sean. So we both had the same background.

187
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 4: So it was cool to watch and interview him and

188
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 4: know where he was coming from. And then he was

189
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 4: unbelievable with the stuff. I think always, you know, the

190
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 4: pictures always has the most access to the coordinator, the

191
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 4: guy spend the most time with and stuff.

192
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 1: But he didn't last long there.

193
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 4: I remember our titand coach John Imbery got the head

194
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 4: coach shop of Colorado and I think it was like

195
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 4: by week fourteen that I lost my picture Jarar and

196
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 4: we made him the tight end coach of doing.

197
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 3: That job specifically helps young coach.

198
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 4: I think it's one access to the coordinator, but to like,

199
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 4: once you become a position coach, I mean that that's

200
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 4: what your job is, like, that's what you have to do.

201
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 4: Twenty four hours a day, seven days a week. You

202
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 4: lock into that position and making sure that position is right.

203
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 4: When you're a picture Jarre and you're dealing with the

204
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 4: coordinator a lot, you've got to do a little bit

205
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 4: of everything. So you just kind of gives you a

206
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 4: very good foundation on how you're going to coach the

207
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 4: rest of the year, I mean the rest of your career.

208
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 4: And I go back to my times before I was

209
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 4: a position coach or coordinator, and that's when I really

210
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 4: learned defense. That's when I really learned other positions, really

211
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 4: learned to O line play, really learned the fronts on

212
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 4: defense and stuff like that, and once you become a

213
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 4: position coach, yeah, you like to do that stuff, but

214
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 4: that's not really what's important at that time. What's important

215
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 4: is making sure your position gets.

216
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 1: The job done. And there's a lot more room to

217
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 1: grow when you're not that. You know, all the injuries

218
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 1: to key players.

219
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 3: Is it fair to say that this team is overachieved

220
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 3: through the first half of the season.

221
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,199
Speaker 4: I mean, I want to say overachieved because when we

222
00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 4: believe we could do this, you know, I think I

223
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 4: think I'll always when you have injuries, it's it's much

224
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 4: more of a challenge, definitely. But I think some of

225
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:08,319
Speaker 4: the key positions we have had it key injuries we've had,

226
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,319
Speaker 4: We've had some good guys step up. I mean, I'm

227
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 4: thinking all these positions, it's just a total backup. I

228
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 4: think we've had some guys come in and play like starters.

229
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 4: And I also know other teams in the league have

230
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 4: some of these issues too. So we're six and three

231
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 4: and we got a chance here, we're in the hunt,

232
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 4: and but we'll see how we finished rest of this half.

233
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 1: Out Gosh, how well Mac has played.

234
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 4: Does there come a point this season where you get

235
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 4: concerned about messing with offense and chemistry if you make

236
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 4: a switch or go back or go abroad. No, I

237
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 4: don't really get concerned too much of the offensive chemistry.

238
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 4: I mean it's more I mean Max Shoney can play

239
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 4: at a high level. Everyone knows that Brock can play

240
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 4: at a high level. When Brock is healthy and he's himself,

241
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 4: we know he'll play at a high level. So as

242
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 4: long as you have a quarterback playing at a high level,

243
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 4: don't worry too much about the chemistry.

244
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 1: What have you seen from.

245
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 4: Left in stout and I know the secondary has been

246
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,680
Speaker 4: moving around a little bit, what have you seen their progress?

247
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 1: I mean I love the way up to the sole plays.

248
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 4: I think he's a rookie out there who plays the

249
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 4: right way, who's gonna be a really good starter in

250
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 4: this league for a while. As always, you get got

251
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 4: to go through some ups and downs when you just

252
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:09,559
Speaker 4: throw guys in the fire like we have with him.

253
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:14,080
Speaker 4: But he never shies away. He always plays physical plays

254
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 4: to me, with probably the least hesitation on our defense,

255
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 4: just with how hard he reacts, how hard he runs

256
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:20,839
Speaker 4: to the ball. And truly believe he's made of the

257
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,319
Speaker 4: right stuff, and I think this year is really good

258
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 4: for him and he's gonna be a good player for us.

259
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 6: The last you guys have the ball, McCaffrey and Robinson,

260
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:31,680
Speaker 6: and they're gonna get most of the carries. But you know,

261
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 6: Grenda did show flash his last year. What does what

262
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 6: does he need to improve to at least give him

263
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 6: a chance to.

264
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 4: Get on the field on He needs to be better

265
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,440
Speaker 4: than two backs in front of him, you know, I

266
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 4: mean that's how it was in the past. You know,

267
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 4: he got his opportunities when JP got hurt, got his

268
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 4: opportunities to start when both of those guys got hurt,

269
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 4: and he did very.

270
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 1: Well with it.

271
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,079
Speaker 4: And that's he's just the third guy right now. And

272
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 4: you don't hand the ball up to two guys, you know,

273
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,439
Speaker 4: you hit it off to one and usually there's a

274
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 4: two man rotation. Sometimes you can have a third, but

275
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 4: with our with Christian being elite as he is in

276
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 4: the past game and protections and stuff, it's kind of

277
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 4: hard to get a three man rotation there.

278
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:15,079
Speaker 6: Okay, first matchup, you ran the ball a lot at

279
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,319
Speaker 6: thirty plus times and didn't get a lot for it,

280
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 6: but you stayed with it now since then, what have

281
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:20,840
Speaker 6: you seen from them?

282
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 1: Their defense on film? Why are they so tough against

283
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 1: the run?

284
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 4: I mean, I think their front five, the guys they

285
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 4: keep on the line of scrimmage usually is probably the

286
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 4: best in the NFL. I think, you know, they don't

287
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 4: have to make the secondary very vulnerable and doing a lot,

288
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:35,960
Speaker 4: so they can always have usually six or seven guys

289
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,560
Speaker 4: swarm into the ball, extremely hard to give up a

290
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 4: big play on I don't think they've given up a

291
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 4: third and twelve plus this year, which is kind of

292
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 4: unheard of. By week nine, I think they're number one

293
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 4: in the NFL and second eleven plus.

294
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 1: So when you can when you have.

295
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 4: As good of a pass rushes there as in the league,

296
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:52,959
Speaker 4: and that same pass russ group can stop the run,

297
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 4: it leads to a very good defense. And that's what

298
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:58,199
Speaker 4: they are, all

299
00:11:58,280 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: Right, Thanks guys,
