1 00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:06,960 Speaker 1: Aaron, I'm always on here. How you doing, coach? I'm 2 00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:11,240 Speaker 1: doing well. How are you doing today? Good? Thanks? Is 3 00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:18,279 Speaker 1: there a teaching point uh? With Pierre Strong? Uh? You 4 00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:23,079 Speaker 1: know either situationally tie game, fourth quarter? How aggressive to 5 00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:29,880 Speaker 1: be on a punt again? What what's the what's what 6 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:34,360 Speaker 1: do you coach a kid there in that situation? Yeah, 7 00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:36,360 Speaker 1: there's some lot of fundamental techniques that you know, we 8 00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:38,320 Speaker 1: obviously got to work on and improve on. You never 9 00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:40,640 Speaker 1: want to run into the punter, especially in the you 10 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,879 Speaker 1: know those situations. Um, you know, obviously we're aggressive, mind it, 11 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,280 Speaker 1: you know, and we're trying to make a play right there, 12 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,559 Speaker 1: and you know, Pier's running the call that you know 13 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:50,559 Speaker 1: on the field that I was able to make, and 14 00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:52,800 Speaker 1: you know obviously if you execute it there, then you 15 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 1: make a game chain and play the other way. So, 16 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 1: you know, we got to just improve on the fundamentals 17 00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,320 Speaker 1: coming off the edge obviously be running of something similar 18 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 1: with John John which actually worked out a couple of 19 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,840 Speaker 1: weeks ago, So you know, just improving his angle, you know, 20 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,119 Speaker 1: his angle of entry, you know, making sure you're going 21 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:08,479 Speaker 1: in front of the punter to be able to stay 22 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 1: off of him. Um, once he does a punt the 23 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:12,280 Speaker 1: football if you're not able to get their own time. 24 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:14,400 Speaker 1: So it goes into the timing, you know, the path, 25 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:16,960 Speaker 1: the angle, you know, seeing the ball, where is it 26 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,560 Speaker 1: relative to where I am? You know, just the timing 27 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 1: is the number one thing with Beer right there. But 28 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:23,840 Speaker 1: you know, he's doing what we asked for him. You know, 29 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,120 Speaker 1: he's playing hard, he's competing, and he just continue to 30 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,399 Speaker 1: do a good job for worse and you know, normal situations. 31 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,880 Speaker 1: Thanks Cam, Thanks, and we'll go to Evan Lazar follow 32 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,640 Speaker 1: by Chris Ryan. Go ahead, Evan, Hey Cam, how's it 33 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,120 Speaker 1: going good? Heaven? How are we doing? I'm doing well. 34 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,400 Speaker 1: I also wanted to ask you about the Pierre play 35 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 1: and just um, you know, kind of what the thinking 36 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:46,480 Speaker 1: was of rushing the punter versus maybe setting up a 37 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 1: return for Marcus and the process there to decide that. 38 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 1: I think you mentioned that it was similar to the 39 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 1: John Jones play the week against the Colts. Correct, Yes, yes, 40 00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 1: you know, Um, you know grew go throughout the game. 41 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,000 Speaker 1: You know, different calls and different adjustments that you're looking 42 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 1: to make, you know, and you know it's just a 43 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 1: decision whether you want to be aggressive or you want 44 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 1: to be aggressive in the return phase, you know, so 45 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 1: they can go one of each ways, you know, So 46 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,239 Speaker 1: we try to pick and choose our spots, whether we're 47 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,120 Speaker 1: over aggressive, you know, we don't ever want to be 48 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 1: too conservative. I tell our guys all the time, you know, 49 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 1: I'm not going to call the game to go out 50 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 1: there and just be another phase and another unit and 51 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 1: things like that. And that's what they play for, you know. 52 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 1: And that's why our guys are responding. They have played 53 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 1: well this season. They've done a great job for us, 54 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 1: is because they know they're out there to make plays. 55 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,240 Speaker 1: They're not just out there to get the ball back, 56 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 1: you know, and that's what leads to positive plays, you know, 57 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 1: whether it's in the return game a couple of weeks ago, 58 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,359 Speaker 1: the other day with a Marcus on the kickoff return. 59 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:41,959 Speaker 1: You know, those guys when they go out there on 60 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 1: the field, you know, they're have one bullet, you know, 61 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,520 Speaker 1: so to speak. They've got one opportunity out there to 62 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,360 Speaker 1: make a play and make a game training play, and 63 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 1: obviously you want to make that play, you know, in 64 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,960 Speaker 1: favor of us. Kind of thanks, and I also want 65 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 1: to ask you about Jabriel and just his role on 66 00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:00,120 Speaker 1: special teams it seems like he's out there blocking his 67 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 1: butt off every single week. Yeah, no, Pep. Pep does 68 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 1: a great job for us, PEPs and tuned to every meeting. Um. 69 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 1: He brings a lot of energy to our units, to 70 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,080 Speaker 1: this team. He does a great job for us, you know, 71 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 1: among other guys. But you know, he definitely takes pride 72 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,640 Speaker 1: in it. And that's the biggest thing. We want guys 73 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 1: to take pride in the units. And they're out there 74 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,080 Speaker 1: play playing for one another. You know, each guy's playing 75 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:22,959 Speaker 1: for the guy next to him. You know, eleven is 76 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,640 Speaker 1: greater than one guy. So they're continuing to work hard 77 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,239 Speaker 1: and play there and they're bringing that excitement to each other, 78 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 1: you know, and you know they're upset or they're they're 79 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:32,919 Speaker 1: you know, not excited when they don't make the plays, 80 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 1: which is a good thing. You know, same as me 81 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 1: as a coach. You know, if we don't you know, 82 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 1: make an executele play, well you know, it's not the 83 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 1: what you're looking for as a result. And you can 84 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 1: see that because you know, the guys are excited. You 85 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 1: see when they do make good plays and everything, they 86 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 1: are excited. And PEPs one of the guys that definitely 87 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 1: brings that energy and that attitude towards each phase of 88 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 1: the game. For so US Awesome Things Camp, we'll go 89 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: to uh, Chris Ryan, go ahead, Chris Hey, Cam hope 90 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 1: ball is h well with you? Um. On the ninety 91 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 1: six yard kick return, you Bill mentioned a couple of 92 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 1: things went wrong on that play. From a technical standpoint, 93 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 1: what in your view you know went went wrong there? 94 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 1: Would you like to seem done differently? Yeah, you know, 95 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 1: I've got to get a better job of our guys 96 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 1: of you know, using their hands and getting off blocks 97 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 1: and you know, getting to the football right there and 98 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,039 Speaker 1: just be able to shed the blocks at the point 99 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 1: of attack. You know, that way you're able to come 100 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,799 Speaker 1: off and make the tackles. So fundamentally, I got to 101 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:32,600 Speaker 1: improve the techniques and the coaching aspect of using your 102 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 1: hands and getting off the one on one blocks overall, 103 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 1: you know, that way you can get to the ball, 104 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 1: you know, make make tackles. You know, I know we 105 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 1: gave up obviously that one there, so you know, we 106 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,159 Speaker 1: got to continue to work. You know, the guys have 107 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 1: done a good job, you know, and it's obviously this 108 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 1: company when you give up one like that. So we 109 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 1: got to get back to it and you know, executed 110 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 1: each time we're out there to cover, because you're able 111 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 1: to put up the teams in long situations if you're 112 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 1: tack on women inside of the twenty, you know, and 113 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 1: it's hard for offenses to move the ball against our defense. 114 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,600 Speaker 1: So we've got to be able to stop right there 115 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 1: and you know, get off blocks, make tackles, and then 116 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,479 Speaker 1: swim to the football. You know, get eleven guys to football. 117 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 1: I thought Slate made a really good point after the 118 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,719 Speaker 1: game about how after the Jets game there was euphoria 119 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,600 Speaker 1: and that your unit obviously won the game. For you guys, 120 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,719 Speaker 1: there was that high and then he mentioned the low 121 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,160 Speaker 1: of obviously what took place with Pierre and on that 122 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 1: play in this particular game. So what's your assessment of, 123 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 1: you know, where the unit is at and kind of 124 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,719 Speaker 1: finding that you know, that level spot again where you 125 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 1: guys are making plays and feel good about yourselves, but 126 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:32,680 Speaker 1: you know, aren't too low after what happened in the 127 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 1: Vikings game. Yeah, you know, we've got to move on 128 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,279 Speaker 1: to this week. He's got a great opportunity against Buffalo. 129 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 1: I mean, they've got a really good team, you know, 130 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:42,800 Speaker 1: coming to town. That we've got to get ready for. 131 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 1: They've got nine guys that are playing four phases for them, 132 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:47,480 Speaker 1: so you know, they got nine guys that are really 133 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,160 Speaker 1: that make up their core. So it's a great matchup 134 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 1: for us, you know, and it's an opportunity for our 135 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,480 Speaker 1: guys to get out there and you know, show that 136 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:56,479 Speaker 1: you know, we are a productive team. We are a 137 00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 1: productive unit, and you know that we can respond in 138 00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 1: a positive fashion and make changes for our offense for 139 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:05,839 Speaker 1: our defense to put them in good situations out there 140 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:07,479 Speaker 1: on the field, you know, And that's the biggest thing. 141 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,040 Speaker 1: We want to make sure the offense is going out 142 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:10,920 Speaker 1: there a good field position, and we want to make 143 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 1: sure the defense is going out there on a long field, 144 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,280 Speaker 1: you know. And the way you do that is by 145 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,599 Speaker 1: playing complimentary football. And we got to get back to 146 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,159 Speaker 1: that um this week, and I think our guys will respond. 147 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 1: We've got a great group of guys, you know. You know, 148 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 1: we've got twelve fifteen guys that are really playing on 149 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 1: multiple phases for us, and you know, they take pride 150 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,920 Speaker 1: in it, and their attitude each week has been good, 151 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 1: you know, So we got to just go back to that. 152 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 1: We're not going to try to reinvent the drawing board. 153 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 1: We just got to make sure we're doing a better 154 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:39,719 Speaker 1: job in every single play and fundamentally and the techniques 155 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 1: executing it out on the field.

Yeah, you know, you 165 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 1: never want to rely on the kicker of the punner 166 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 1: to make it to make the tackle. Um. You know, 167 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 1: I tell them all the time, like, look, their job 168 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 1: is to place the ball where we want it. You know, 169 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 1: it's the other ten guys job to go and tackle 170 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 1: the returnment, whether that's the punning the football or that's 171 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 1: kicking the football. You know, so they're the last line, 172 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 1: so to speak. I guess you can put in that terms. Um, 173 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 1: but they're there just to try to slow the guy down. 174 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 1: They're never there to actually have to make the tackle. 175 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 1: That's the other guys jobs. You go out there and 176 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 1: make the tackle. So they are a bonus players. The 177 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 1: way I look at it, um in our coverage units. 178 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 1: You know, if they're there, you know, and they're getting 179 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 1: down there, they're just trying to slow the returner down. 180 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 1: You know. It's the coverage guys you know that are 181 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 1: out there that are pushing to the ball, that are 182 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 1: trying to get off blocks that we're relying on to 183 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 1: really make the tackles and you know, and not let 184 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 1: the ball get back to them. Thys, Okay, hey guys, 185 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 1: all right, camp, thank you, thank you. We'll have Troy 186 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:03,720 Speaker 1: Brown here in this room soon.
