1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,440 Speaker 1: Hey Bill, good morning. All right, good morning. How are 2 00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:08,720 Speaker 1: you doing. Nice win on the road last night. Yeah, 3 00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:11,360 Speaker 1: good win for our team. But the guys really competed 4 00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:14,239 Speaker 1: well and uh, you know, got contributions in all three 5 00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:17,440 Speaker 1: phases from a lot of a lot of different people. Um, 6 00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:20,360 Speaker 1: they have a really good team win. Bill. Did the 7 00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:24,840 Speaker 1: game plan change um dramatically when Kyla Murray got hurt? 8 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:26,960 Speaker 1: Or was it basically kind of the same game plan 9 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,360 Speaker 1: which is maybe a little bit different responsibilities because Colt 10 00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:38,160 Speaker 1: McCoy doesn't have the ability to run like Kyla Murray does. Right, 11 00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:41,519 Speaker 1: I think that's about it. Germaine. Uh, they they ran 12 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,720 Speaker 1: their offense, but um, cold skills are little different than 13 00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:49,599 Speaker 1: Kyler's and Colds played well for him this year. Um, 14 00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:53,000 Speaker 1: you know they they've won with him in there, and 15 00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,160 Speaker 1: he's done a good job with the team, so I 16 00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:59,400 Speaker 1: know they have playing confidence in him. Um. So, I 17 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:01,440 Speaker 1: mean he's been a good he's been a good player 18 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:07,360 Speaker 1: for him this year few times. Bill. When it comes 19 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,800 Speaker 1: to Marcus Jones, Uh, he's been awesome recently. When you 20 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,440 Speaker 1: drafted him, did you realize that he would be able 21 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 1: to make such a big contribution so early on and 22 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:23,920 Speaker 1: in multiple ways. Well, we we drafted him because they 23 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:27,679 Speaker 1: thought it was a good player and would help our team. Um, 24 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 1: you know, his path he's traveled this year has been 25 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:36,120 Speaker 1: you know, want to recovering from um the you know, 26 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 1: the two surgeries he had in the off season last year, 27 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:46,319 Speaker 1: and then you know, um participating where he could in 28 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 1: the spring, and then um not until we got into 29 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 1: the middle of training camp in the summer. So it's 30 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 1: you know, it's been a progression and process for him. 31 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 1: He's worked hard and then all he could, um the 32 00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 1: whole way. That's just the question of when you put 33 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,280 Speaker 1: a load on him. And then when Jack got hurt 34 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 1: last night and he ended up playing it almost um 35 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,800 Speaker 1: so every almost every snap I think on defense after 36 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 1: Jack went out, So he ended up a lot of 37 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 1: playing time. But you know, Marcus is a smart kid. 38 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,839 Speaker 1: He's in good condition, and UM, we'll just we'll see 39 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 1: how it goes. Bill another guy looks like they're really 40 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,359 Speaker 1: taking advantage of their opportunities. Definitely come a long way 41 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,240 Speaker 1: as Josh uche what you know, obviously, what has he 42 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,520 Speaker 1: shown you this year? And just as groat as a player. 43 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 1: One of the biggest thing with Josh has been availability UM, 44 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 1: he's been he's been healthy, he's been on the field, 45 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,639 Speaker 1: you know, almost every every day in practice. UM hasn't 46 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 1: hasn't missed any time. And unfortunately, UM, in the last 47 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 1: couple of years he's kind of been in and out 48 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 1: a little bit with UM you know, a week here, 49 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 1: a week there, two weeks here, a week there kind 50 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,119 Speaker 1: of thing. And as you know, that hurts the progress 51 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,640 Speaker 1: of a player. He started to get into that rhythm 52 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:09,519 Speaker 1: and hard to keep building, UM, your fundamentals and techniques 53 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 1: and keep improving. Whereas this year, you know, he's been 54 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 1: out there every day and he can work on things 55 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 1: that are you know, fundamental for him, but also some 56 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 1: new things and work with his teammates and the timing 57 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:26,920 Speaker 1: and UM communication, reads, recognition, all that, all that just 58 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 1: gets better with with more experience, especially for a player 59 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 1: it's third year, like Josh, so UM, I think that's 60 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 1: been the big thing. UM. He's he's always been a 61 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 1: guy that we we want to get on the field 62 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 1: and UM sometimes it's just the question of you know, 63 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 1: how much availability. UM he's had and this year his training, 64 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 1: conditioning and and knocking on wood help. But then been 65 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 1: really good. Bill. It looked like mac Jones may have 66 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 1: been expressing some frustration last night during that game when 67 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 1: not getting the play in time. Is that something that 68 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 1: you like to see from a player? Well, I mean 69 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 1: we all plays. I mean from a body language perspective, 70 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 1: Is that is that something that shows the passion there 71 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:37,840 Speaker 1: with the player? I don't know, Bill, defensively, you know 72 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 1: a thing that it seems like you've been able to 73 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 1: do a weekend and week out is get consistent pressure 74 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,720 Speaker 1: on the quarterback. Have you noticed that it's it's guys 75 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 1: taking advantage of there. You know, we've seen Jude on 76 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 1: and you know we talked about Uch, but just the 77 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 1: front seven in general. You notice is that guy's just 78 00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 1: winning their individual matchups weekend and week out. Um, well, 79 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:11,280 Speaker 1: I think it's number one. It's usually a factor at 80 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 1: the score. And you you really have to, you know, 81 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,719 Speaker 1: earn the right to rush the passer in this league. 82 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 1: You know, you just don't start off the game rushing 83 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 1: the passer. You've got to stop the run and and 84 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,600 Speaker 1: if you can get ahead and make it a one 85 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:35,599 Speaker 1: dimensional game, then that increases and highlights the opportunities for 86 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:39,480 Speaker 1: pass rushers to rush and there's just more passes and 87 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 1: they're more known situations. So um, obviously some of it 88 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 1: is good pass rush and good technique and we don't 89 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 1: want to one matchups and fundamentals, um. But also part 90 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 1: of it is, you know, opportunity and situation and it 91 00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:00,279 Speaker 1: works in reverse the other ways when you have to 92 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 1: throw on every down because you're in long yardage or 93 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 1: you're behind in the score, and that makes it a 94 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,920 Speaker 1: lot harder to pass protect and throw the ball against 95 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:13,840 Speaker 1: against a good pass rushing team. So um, you know, 96 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 1: the rush is the rush, that is what it is. 97 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 1: But opportunities and situations have a lot to do with 98 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 1: things like stats and and UH and pass rushing numbers, 99 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:28,680 Speaker 1: and they also have a lot to do with you know, 100 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,239 Speaker 1: sometimes the numbers you give up defensively end the passing 101 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:35,919 Speaker 1: game because they're throwing the ball more and you know, 102 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 1: you maybe win in but you know, the yardage is 103 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,479 Speaker 1: you know, could you could increase a little bit compared 104 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 1: to normal situation. So it's just some of it situational football, 105 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 1: and that's I think you have to take that into account. Bill, 106 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 1: take it on the Raiders this Sunday. How has it 107 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:57,280 Speaker 1: been this season adjusting to life without Josh McDaniels leading 108 00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 1: the offense. Well, we've been in situations like that for 109 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 1: many years where um, somebody in the organization. It's just 110 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 1: been coaches, personnel directors, UM, college pro scouts or scouting 111 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 1: coordinate directors, all those you know, when those people move 112 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 1: on to better opportunities, which you know, I'm personally happy 113 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 1: for them to. When they get those opportunities, um, and 114 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 1: it works out for them and their families, then we 115 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 1: move on. And fortunately we have a lot of people 116 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 1: in the organizations who are, um, I've been here a while, 117 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 1: who have experience, who have gained experience whether you know, 118 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 1: that's how Josh moved into his role initially. So, UM, 119 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 1: whatever the situation is, we're ready for whatever changes come 120 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 1: and and we adapt to them. I think that's every 121 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 1: team in the league has has changes on their staff, Annie, 122 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 1: and from year to year. Um, that's that's pretty common. 123 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 1: Certainly we you know, our share more than our share, 124 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 1: but that's that's football. From Tannabelle Bill. When DeVante Parker 125 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 1: went down, it seemed like it took longer than normal 126 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 1: for anybody to realize something was wrong. I think it 127 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 1: was Nelson Algalore and the ref that had to flag 128 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 1: somebody down on the sideline. What was going on on 129 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 1: the sideline? U? In your point of view? Um, while 130 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 1: that all happened, What do I mean was going on 131 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 1: in the sideline? Well? Usually just there's usually a spotter 132 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:41,559 Speaker 1: that can tell if a player's bobbling or not walking straight. 133 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 1: So I was just wondering why it took longer than 134 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 1: normal for a coach to realize something was up. Well, 135 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,720 Speaker 1: I think when those players happened, that the player on 136 00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 1: the field and its teammates around them, because they're right 137 00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 1: there next to them, have a usually have a better 138 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 1: idea of the players how he's doing, I don't compared 139 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 1: to somebody that's thirty four yards away. So um, yeah, 140 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 1: So that's you know, there's a little bit of a 141 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 1: timing there. You're talking about seconds that are taking place, 142 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 1: and I don't if you're sure that there's something wrong, 143 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,680 Speaker 1: then then you address it, and the players should address 144 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,840 Speaker 1: it right away. It's you know, get a hit and 145 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 1: stun you for you know, a second or two and 146 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 1: then everything you know pass back into normal. Then you 147 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,199 Speaker 1: know that happens out there plenty times too. And I 148 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,720 Speaker 1: don't think you want when people run on the field 149 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 1: after every play. So but you know, ultimately I think 150 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 1: the players made the right decision man, And I'm not 151 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:48,679 Speaker 1: sure if how much of it was us, how much 152 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 1: it was a spot er, you know, Spoder call down 153 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 1: on Devin later in the game. That's the process, uh, 154 00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 1: build the spending, spending the week in Arizona, I assume, 155 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:09,680 Speaker 1: and then heading to Vegas. That's right, okay, Bill, When 156 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,320 Speaker 1: you look at some of you and I know you 157 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,560 Speaker 1: had made brief mention. They were talking about this on 158 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 1: the broadcast, just about being a little bit more consistent, 159 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:20,320 Speaker 1: especially in the red zone. Um, when you think about 160 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 1: like maybe some of the creativity or just the consistency, 161 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:25,679 Speaker 1: what do you feel like you guys need to do 162 00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 1: better as a coaching staff offensively to maybe obviously put 163 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:32,959 Speaker 1: your put the offense in a better position where you're 164 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 1: able to come away with touchdowns rather than field goals. All. 165 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 1: The biggest thing on in the red area, I'll third 166 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 1: down always is execution. There's less space, it's tight and 167 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 1: defenseless space the defense and the offense they don't have 168 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,559 Speaker 1: to that's the final way to get the ball in 169 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:56,800 Speaker 1: the enzone.
