1
00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:03,680
Speaker 1: There are uh going against Aaron Rodgers this week?

2
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:05,200
Speaker 2: Just what have you seen from him this year?

3
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:07,720
Speaker 3: Obviously not the season that he would hope for, but.

4
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 1: Just what do you see? Yeah, I mean Aaron is

5
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 1: still still Aaron. I mean he can be He can

6
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 1: be highly efficient, highly effective, still still can throw you know,

7
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:25,480
Speaker 1: accurate footballs, quick release. You know, it probably doesn't move

8
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 1: quite as m well as he he wants he once did,

9
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:33,280
Speaker 1: but he listen, he's he's still an elite quarterback. And

10
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:36,159
Speaker 1: you know that's something you gotta prepare for.

11
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 2: I think you turn or you were forty one your

12
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 2: first year with the Eagles, and he he just turned

13
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 2: forty one earlier this week. Could you, like, do.

14
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 3: You remember what your body felt like after all those

15
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:48,279
Speaker 3: years in the league at forty one?

16
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:51,240
Speaker 1: And can you imagine playing at forty one? Nah? I

17
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: mean it's a credit right to to him and and

18
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 1: and what he does in the off season, what he

19
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 1: does during the regular season, how he takes care of himself,

20
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: because this game can you know, this game can can

21
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:08,119
Speaker 1: beat you down, you know physically, you know forty one.

22
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 1: I was thirty six when I shut it down, so

23
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,319
Speaker 1: I was I think I was back with the Eagles. Yeah,

24
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,479
Speaker 1: as you mentioned, it's quality control. When I was forty one,

25
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 1: but you know, in your mind, you still feel like

26
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: you're twenty one and uh, and I know that's probably

27
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 1: maybe he's not, you know, thinking twenty one, but uh,

28
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 1: he's uh, he's definitely Uh. And one of the things

29
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 1: I've always appreciated about Aaron is just the way he

30
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: approaches the game, you know, and and the fun that

31
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:39,559
Speaker 1: he has and and you know, the excitement you see

32
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: around him and what he can create on the field. Defensively,

33
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 1: Obviously it hasn't gone the way they were hoping for either,

34
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: but still up some pieces.

35
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, who comes to mind when you think Jetstin.

36
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 1: Williams, Javon Kinlaw, Sauce Gardener. I mean, just the list

37
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 1: goes on. I mean this is uh, this is not

38
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: a three and ten defense. I'll tell you that this

39
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 1: is a really good defense. And you know that the

40
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 1: pieces have been brought in too to uh, you know,

41
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 1: do just that, you know, and and look it's you know,

42
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: they're in the same situation we are. You know. I

43
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 1: think they have seven losses as well that are one

44
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: score games, you know, and and won this past weekend.

45
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 1: So you know they're they're they're doing and saying the

46
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 1: same things we are and looking to win a game.

47
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 1: So uh, it's it's it's something that we've got to

48
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: be prepared for and and uh you know, I know

49
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: they will too.

50
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 3: What do you make Uh, you guys were rushing running

51
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 3: the ball reasonably well first six or seven games of

52
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 3: the season, and then for some reason the last six games,

53
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 3: even though you've bet in a lot of these games,

54
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 3: you just have not been able to get running numbers

55
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:57,359
Speaker 3: where you want to.

56
00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,519
Speaker 1: I mean, what does it.

57
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 2: Plac a little bit as the white numbers.

58
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: Have been sold low? Yeah, some of it, you know.

59
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 1: I mean to look at some of the defensive lines

60
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 1: we've played, you know there's some Just take take a

61
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 1: look at last week, you know, with with those two

62
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: big de tackles, it's gonna be the same this week.

63
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: It's sometimes it's just it's just tough seletting. I think

64
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,959
Speaker 1: the thing that we've got to do a better job

65
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: is just be more consistent in just sticking with it.

66
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: You know. I think that's been you know something over

67
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 1: the years when when the run doesn't work early, you

68
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: kind of tend to pull back and try to find

69
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: something else to do. But I think you just got

70
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: to continue to stick with it and and and you've

71
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: got to make those adjustments on the sideline too, during

72
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 1: during game halftime and then even during the week of practice.

73
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: I think it you can vet some things out in

74
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: the run game, as you watch film, as you practice,

75
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: and and really try to find tune it just a

76
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: little bit more. But you know, I'll say this, I mean,

77
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: the the guys we faced the last couple of weeks too,

78
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 1: or are some good some good d line, some good tackles.

79
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: We f we face some good ends. I mean, it's

80
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: just sometimes it's a little bit harder when.

81
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 3: You look at the these last four games. You you

82
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 3: these guys that have played some younger players on defense

83
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 3: with a little few more snaps in recent weeks.

84
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 2: Did do you expect that to give That's something that

85
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 2: you're consciously trying to do, just to kind of whether

86
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,599
Speaker 2: it's to provide depth or you want to see you

87
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 2: want to give better evaluation of these guys moving forward.

88
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 2: Do you expected that trend?

89
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 1: You know, I yeah, there's a fine line. Obviously, this

90
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: is not these aren't preseason games where you're trying to

91
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 1: play everybody and get everybody in the game. You know,

92
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: you're trying to win the football game, and and you

93
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 1: play with the guys that that that you feel give

94
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: you the best chance to do that. So if you

95
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 1: have an opportunity to get a a young player in

96
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: the game, uh and see, yes, you can do that.

97
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 1: But but at the same time, you're still you know,

98
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 1: you're still trying to uh win that football game. And

99
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,479
Speaker 1: and accomplished a few of your goals, you know, in

100
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: the last month of the season. Expectations for Evan availability

101
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: and then Anton and Devon. Yeah, Anton illness been, he's

102
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 1: feeling better, he'll practice today. You know. Evan's dealing with

103
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 1: the shoulder obviously coming out of the game. So uh,

104
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 1: you know, won't do anything today. We'll rest him today,

105
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,599
Speaker 1: uh and get him back, but anticipate him, uh for

106
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: the game you know, on on Sunday, and there was

107
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 1: a third one. Yeah, he was fine. He played in

108
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 1: the game, came out, came out okay, Savage, Clay Protocol,

109
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: Savage was good. Ross as you saw the roster moves.

110
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 1: Both those guys were good. Tyson came out good. Yeah.

111
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,480
Speaker 1: So we we came out, we came out relatively healthy.

112
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,719
Speaker 1: Win is there some energy you can pull from that

113
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,720
Speaker 1: to try and I guess help set building blocks moving

114
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,279
Speaker 1: forward the rest of the way. Yeah, I think, just

115
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 1: you know, focus on this week. Just it was good

116
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: to get the guys back this morning and and feel

117
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,839
Speaker 1: the energy from from a win. You know, it doesn't

118
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,919
Speaker 1: matter how it looks or how you get it, the

119
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: fact that you've got one. It's been a while, you know,

120
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,279
Speaker 1: sometimes you don't know how to react, you know, but uh,

121
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 1: it felt good. The guys were were jazzed, and and

122
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 1: it's something that we can build on and still got

123
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,919
Speaker 1: to correct the mistakes, look at that and focus on

124
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,039
Speaker 1: those and and improve, uh this week. But it does

125
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: give you a little bit of juice going into the week.

126
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:44,720
Speaker 3: Okay, Carrett Wilson and Davante Adams on the other offense,

127
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 3: I mean, how do you prepare for such.

128
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:51,720
Speaker 1: A talented do a Yeah, I mean two really good receivers. Obviously,

129
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 1: the history DeVante has with Aaron is is well documented obviously,

130
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,279
Speaker 1: and and you're seeing more and more or the connection

131
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 1: with Garrett. Yeah, I mean, it's it's a it's a discipline.

132
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 1: You's just got to stick to your job. You got

133
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 1: to stick to what you know, you've been asked to

134
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: do this week and how you've been how you've been

135
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 1: taught going in, what the game plan looks like. You know,

136
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 1: I think I think too you can you can affect

137
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 1: you know, you can affect the past with past rush

138
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 1: and and design rushes. And you've got to be able

139
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 1: to do that too. So work is cut out, you

140
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: know for our guys. But you know, look forward to

141
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 1: you know, Sunday and watching them play. Does it feel

142
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: like there's been some progress made in the secondary as

143
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 1: of late? Yeah, I think as the season's progressed, guys

144
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: have gotten better. You know, I thought we you know,

145
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 1: started the season, you know, we made made some mistakes.

146
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: Even in the middle of the season, there were some mistakes.

147
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 1: I think we've dust just kind of settle a little

148
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 1: bit and guys are understanding and and rotating guys a

149
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: little bit more too, right, keeping guys fresher as the

150
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 1: game goes on is has helped us. And just continuing

151
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 1: to coach and teach and uh has you know, I

152
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 1: think has really helped our our secondary. They played a

153
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: they played a complete game, you know, this past weekend.

154
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 1: It was good to see what did you see from

155
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 1: the combo of Antonio and Savage together on the field

156
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 1: at the same time. Yeah, you know, I mean one,

157
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 1: it just starts with communication. You know, both those guys

158
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: do do a nice job there of just talking back

159
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 1: and forth when they're out when they're out on the

160
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 1: field together, talking with their corners and linebackers. And you know,

161
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: sav had would love to have the one play back

162
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 1: on the shortyardists play obviously, you know that he just

163
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: he was just anticipating the potential run there. But you know,

164
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 1: I think it just kind of gives you I think

165
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:00,200
Speaker 1: what you're seeing. I think what you're seeing too, is

166
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: the growth of Antonio as the season has progressed. I

167
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 1: think we know what you know Darnell is and what

168
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 1: he can do and what he brings. But with Antonio,

169
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 1: I think you're seeing that growth and a little bit

170
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 1: of maturity the more he plays, you know, in these games.

171
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 3: How does the.

172
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 2: Process work for Trevor getting cleared on the protocol when

173
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 2: he's on IR Is he still commit every day to

174
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 2: test him every day?

175
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, he still has to go through the steps,

176
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:29,680
Speaker 1: still comes in the building every day, you know, and

177
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,680
Speaker 1: and just goes through it as if he were you know,

178
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: getting ready to play a game this weekend, you know,

179
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 1: But I think in this case too, you can. You

180
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 1: don't have to. You're not gonna speed anything up, but

181
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 1: you don't want to. You know, you're not going to like,

182
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 1: you know, either push him through or rush him through

183
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,199
Speaker 1: because you still got to be careful, you know, with

184
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 1: with all of it. But at the same time, we

185
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 1: kind of go at his pace and let him how

186
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 1: he feels and his symptoms and all that kind of

187
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 1: stuff and and just go step by step. But he

188
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 1: hasn't cleared a yet. Nah. No, mm mm
