1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:06,720
Speaker 1: I got a writing question.

2
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:10,600
Speaker 2: That's okay, she didn't get to do that. She isn't cool?

3
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 2: What do you do? How are you ja suspended?

4
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:20,600
Speaker 3: And the rest of the again, talent, plenty of talent,

5
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:25,280
Speaker 3: it's just the opportunities probably haven't been there. But when

6
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 3: they've been given the opportunity and they've gone to them,

7
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:33,920
Speaker 3: you know, whether that's Yoshi Vas, that's Tinsley down the field,

8
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:39,519
Speaker 3: obviously tea deep threat, you know, took a slant to

9
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:45,199
Speaker 3: the house against Pittsburgh, tight window split the safeties, you know.

10
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 3: So I don't think that they lack in talent. I

11
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,519
Speaker 3: think it's just been opportunity. So again we'll have to

12
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 3: do a you know, a great job trying to defend them,

13
00:00:56,720 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 3: whether that be Brown or Higgins or anybody else. It's

14
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 3: just a big challenge offensively.

15
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 2: Question from care for okay, cool, I'm good.

16
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 1: Thanks pressing. Since you became a head coach, how if

17
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,479
Speaker 1: it all, have you changed how you manage your individual

18
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:19,399
Speaker 1: relationships with players over the years.

19
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 3: I mean again, I'm my job to have a you know,

20
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 3: a relationship or a connection with with everybody here, players

21
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 3: and staff included. Some of those relationships are stronger than

22
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 3: others that's kind of the nature of this. But you know,

23
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 3: I think for me, it's just been having something in

24
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 3: each room or part of the game plan in each

25
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 3: phase that will at least allow me to have a

26
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 3: conversation about the game plan, about their you know, job

27
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 3: or technique, you know, which is the best way you know,

28
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 3: to be able to have that connection through the week,

29
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 3: you know, and then again just try to be as

30
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 3: genuine as as I possibly can.

31
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:11,399
Speaker 4: You you needed, wanted, gotten you were a player, and something.

32
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:12,239
Speaker 2: You felt like it was important to.

33
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 3: I don't know if it was that needed. I mean,

34
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 3: it was just kind of different, and I think it was

35
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 3: just different. And I haven't coached anybody any differently from

36
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 3: the from the three years that I spent at Ohio

37
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:29,679
Speaker 3: State going to Houston. They were maybe a year or

38
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 3: two older, and back then they made more money. Now

39
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:35,959
Speaker 3: they're just a year or two older, and some of

40
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 3: them make about the same amount of money. So I

41
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:44,079
Speaker 3: appreciate where they all come from. I appreciate their backgrounds.

42
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 3: You can see the type of people they are by

43
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 3: when you meet their families. I think that's something that

44
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 3: you know, really shows and the pride that they have.

45
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 2: And you know, you know, we we do this to

46
00:02:58,080 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 2: provide for our family.

47
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 3: So you know, outside of winning, let's let's let's be

48
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 3: honest like that's that's why we do this. So I

49
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 3: enjoy meeting their families and I enjoy meeting the people

50
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,119
Speaker 3: that they care about. And we always said the things

51
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 3: that are important to them should be important to us.

52
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 1: You were known sort of as an enforcer, and I

53
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: know accountability is super important to you now, so as

54
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 1: a coach, you know, how have you evolved in creating accountability?

55
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 3: And I think my job, I said this is to

56
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 3: try to protect the team and stay consistent and try

57
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 3: to hold the best players the most accountable. That way,

58
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 3: it sets a clear message to everybody, you know, throughout

59
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 3: not you know, if the quarterback makes a mistake or

60
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 3: Drake makes a mistake, doesn't really do me any good

61
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 3: to sit there and coach up Tommy de Vito, just

62
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 3: go right to the source. And I think the players

63
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 3: appreciate the consistency.

64
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 5: Yeah stability of the offensive line in their performance. This

65
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 5: season seems like it's led to a wider team's success.

66
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 5: Can you talk about what that group and the coaching

67
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 5: staff and Doug.

68
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 2: Marone is meant to well. I mean that's a good

69
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 2: group in there, you know what I mean, Doug.

70
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:20,840
Speaker 3: Doug's in charge, but but Jason o'taling hass and.

71
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 2: You know Koug's I think we're lucky.

72
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 3: I think those guys really do a good job, like

73
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 3: I said when I talked about the staff, and they

74
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,280
Speaker 3: can all take a group and coach them and pre

75
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 3: practice individual h So you see a lot of that

76
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 3: is you know, split up, and guys are getting work

77
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,919
Speaker 3: and reps and so there's a lot of confidence there.

78
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 3: I think the players are building some confidence. I think that,

79
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 3: you know, the more that we get into this thing

80
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 3: and they understand kind of the design of the play

81
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 3: and kind of how Drake's gonna operate, whether that's trying

82
00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:00,080
Speaker 3: to climb the pocket or you know, the extension and

83
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 3: everything else, I think it all, you know, goes hand

84
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 3: in hand. I think they communicate well, and you know,

85
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:06,600
Speaker 3: the more that we've been able to be out there

86
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 3: as a unit.

87
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 2: Has led to, you know, some good results with the Andre.

88
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 6: Possibly learn the return you've had Tradeyon kind to be

89
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 6: that named Jack in the last few games. Do you

90
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 6: have a is there a plan Kryding to have a

91
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 6: better balance between the two of them and when they're

92
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 6: both ready to play or when Rmandre.

93
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 3: Is helping, we'll probably have to have that conversation, you know,

94
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 3: when it's you know, certain that we're going to have

95
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 3: Withmandre is going to work through practice today and we'll

96
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 3: see where things go. Has helped us from Andre has

97
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:48,160
Speaker 3: helped us. Turell's helped us, you know, disappointed at Dearness

98
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 3: kind of you know, have a couple more carries, we

99
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 3: get in some good yards on a whatever they thought

100
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:58,279
Speaker 3: was a holding penalty and go from there. So we'll

101
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 3: try to have them all help us. But and good

102
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 3: to see Trevion continue to to run hard and take

103
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 3: care of the football and everything else.

104
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 2: What's been your impression of Joe Flacco and just the

105
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 2: way that Bangles offense can play.

106
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 3: Uh, effiicient on time a lot of Again, you're not

107
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 3: gonna trick him.

108
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 2: You're not gonna trick him. You're gonna have.

109
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 3: To cover him, beat him. You know, rush on the

110
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 3: ball comes out quick. Yeah, it doesn't seem to get

111
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 3: rattled very easily. It's not something that's gonna happen.

112
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 2: You know.

113
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,599
Speaker 3: Arm strength and accuracy has been great, you know, he

114
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,039
Speaker 3: kind of knows what he wants to do and where

115
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 3: he wants to go with the ball.

116
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 2: It's a lot of command, Mike.

117
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:42,720
Speaker 1: He's also someone you saw as a player.

118
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:43,359
Speaker 2: I don't know.

119
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:45,359
Speaker 1: I know all those memories are great, but what do

120
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,719
Speaker 1: you remember about a young Joe Blacko on the other sideline?

121
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:52,720
Speaker 3: I mean about the same, I mean, big, talented, strong,

122
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 3: probably ran a little bit more so, just the longevity,

123
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 3: A lot of respect for him as a as a

124
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 3: person and as a player.

125
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 2: That we'll get a.

126
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:06,599
Speaker 1: Chance to see them how to practice theoretically, but we've

127
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 1: talked about rembrating his situation.

128
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 2: Keishaw and Christian as well as the MPs.

129
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 3: YEA all work today and we'll see, you know, how

130
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 3: they respond after today and kind of keep moving from there.

131
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 2: But no real update.

132
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 3: They haven't done anything that you know, we've pushed through

133
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 3: other than that. So hopefully they're out there and they

134
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 3: will be and ready to go and then we'll see

135
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 3: where they where they go.

136
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 6: Decision the CG to the off the roster. That's similar

137
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 6: to the situation you kind of talked about earlier in

138
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 6: this breaking where it's somebody you put time in with

139
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 6: and want to continue working with.

140
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a lot of things that go involved with that,

141
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 3: and you know, certainly those two players were ones that

142
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 3: kept showing up as the you know, show team players

143
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 3: and whether it's on special teams or offense or defense,

144
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 3: and so there's you know, it's just kind of what

145
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 3: happens when you get to this part in the season,

146
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 3: and you know, we'll see if those guys can can

147
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 3: help us. And we ask everybody to prepare as a

148
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 3: starter when they come in here. And I don't think

149
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 3: anything should change or will change for those guys like

150
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 3: you have.

151
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 4: Depended the quarterback related treat concept back to back weeks.

152
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 4: How much is it is from you know, having your start,

153
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 4: you running to play, simulating junior practice versus just.

154
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 2: The players out there with high awareness. I disappoint you

155
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 2: the game, Well, we're not going to be able to

156
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 2: show them everything. We have a lot of.

157
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 3: Again, admiration, respect, gratitude for the players that give us

158
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 3: those looks throughout the week. I think they take great

159
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 3: pride in that we ask them to try to you know,

160
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,959
Speaker 3: they're being evaluated and they're you know, we're trying to

161
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 3: put it in the best as we can in our

162
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 3: language and letting them play football and letting them compete

163
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 3: and you know, try to stay up and take care

164
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,439
Speaker 3: of each other. We don't want anything that's out of control.

165
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 3: But I think improvement has been made by players on

166
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:02,839
Speaker 3: those units. They they give us a fantastic look and

167
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 3: all you know, first second, third down. We get to

168
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 3: the red zone late in the week, so again that

169
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:12,439
Speaker 3: starts there. And then we're not going to be able

170
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:15,199
Speaker 3: to show them every single play that they're going to

171
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 3: see in the game.

172
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 2: That's that's impossible. Nobody's that good.

173
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 3: There's things that will show them, you know, that they'll

174
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 3: be able to recall. But then it comes down to

175
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 3: the eleven guys out there. If there's an unscouted look

176
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 3: or there's a scout you know, I mean, there's a

177
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 3: play that you know comes up that they haven't seen

178
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 3: or they haven't run this year that you know, you

179
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 3: kind of use your tools and use you know, kind

180
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 3: of your rules for the play and what your responsibility

181
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:41,679
Speaker 3: is to to go and defend it.

182
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 7: Said on the radio the other day that when the

183
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 7: concepts he's been focused on here is remaining a passer

184
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,200
Speaker 7: as long as possible, even whe needs to taking off

185
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 7: how much progress have you seen with that particular skill

186
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 7: or development for him?

187
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I think that that's something that was

188
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 3: you know, talked about in the offseason that we wanted

189
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 3: to try to allow him to do and let him

190
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 3: work on it. And you know, example on the sidelines

191
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 3: there with Diggs the other night, is maintaining a passer

192
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 3: as long as he can still threaten the edge and

193
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 3: then if people come out of coverage being able to

194
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 3: you know, make good decisions and great decisions with the

195
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 3: football and it leads to you know, fifteen extra yards.

196
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 3: He wasn't going to run for fifteen yards. So again,

197
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 3: those are things that really can put stress on the

198
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,199
Speaker 3: defense when when you're doing positively and you're not making

199
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 3: bad decisions.

200
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 4: Has been so accurate this year.

201
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 1: What kind of work have you seen him put in

202
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 1: to refine or improve that part of playing the position

203
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 1: of how much of that just might be innate?

204
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 3: I think probably a little bit of both. I think

205
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 3: that Josh and Ashton and have tried to work hard

206
00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:01,320
Speaker 3: on that. I also think Drake is talented. And again

207
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,559
Speaker 3: it's like a pitcher. I mean, I don't know there

208
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 3: was a pitching coach that was really Todd Greg Maddix

209
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,680
Speaker 3: how to paint the plate and put the ball wherever

210
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 3: he wanted it. So I think there's some natural skill there,

211
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:16,960
Speaker 3: But then I think that they work on those things,

212
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 3: and they work on platform and throwing off at different

213
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 3: places and still remaining accurate and climbing a pocket and

214
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 3: working with a base and all those things, and then

215
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 3: you know, there's other times where it's just natural athletic

216
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 3: ability and hand eye coordination and putting the ball in

217
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:34,560
Speaker 3: good spots.

218
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:35,559
Speaker 2: Thank you,
