Speaker 1: now with a game coming up Christmas Day.

9
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 2: So take us through that a little bit.

10
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 1: We'll talk about Kansas City, but a very short turnaround

11
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 1: to get ready for a very tough football team in Baltimore.

12
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, very short turnaround.

13
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 4: You don't have much time to, you know, focus on

14
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 4: what's happened in the past.

15
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 3: It's time to move forward.

16
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 4: We're excited about the matcha versus the Ravens coming in

17
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:42,479
Speaker 4: our house on a Wednesday. I would say it's a

18
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:45,480
Speaker 4: little weird saying Wednesday. I don't think I've ever played

19
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:49,240
Speaker 4: a football game on Wednesday in middle school, high school,

20
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 4: or college. But it's all good. We're here playing on

21
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 4: Wednesday on Christmas Days. It's actually really a really cool opportunity,

22
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 4: right to be able to be one of two games

23
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 4: on Christmas days, so everybody's home with their families and

24
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:06,479
Speaker 4: join Christmas and they get to.

25
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:08,400
Speaker 3: See the Texans play football.

26
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 4: So I'm excited about it, excited about the matchup versus

27
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 4: the Ravens, another really really great team coming in here.

28
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 4: They had a really nice game versus the Steelers. Explosive offense,

29
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 4: really good defense. So we have our work cut out

30
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 4: for us. But it's always mentioned our guys, like how

31
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,199
Speaker 4: else would you want it? Like we got to play

32
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,399
Speaker 4: against Kansas City, one of the top teams in the NFL.

33
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 4: Now we get the Ravens in our house again, Like

34
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 4: you think, it's a wonderful opportunity for our guys to

35
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 4: match up against the best coach.

36
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,040
Speaker 5: I might have to cut our halftime interview short because

37
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 5: Beyonce is playing so.

38
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 6: To try and catch that.

39
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 5: No. I kid about that because I love when you

40
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 5: and I get a chance to talk halftime, because you

41
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 5: always give me something that we kind of we talk

42
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 5: about thirty game.

43
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 6: There's always something that we can talk about. Mahomes.

44
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 5: Obviously you're getting some pressure on them, on them early,

45
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 5: but he started getting out of the pocket. How much

46
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 5: of that was a concern yesterday? And then as you

47
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 5: look forward to playing Lamar. He does some of the

48
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 5: similar things. So seeing it against Patrick kind of rectifying

49
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 5: that if you will to play against Lamar, how does

50
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:13,919
Speaker 5: that kind of.

51
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 6: Look going forward? And what it looked like yesterday.

52
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's when you look at the schedule. We had

53
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 4: both teams back to back. It's kind of similar, you know,

54
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 4: game plan wise, when you see the quarterbacks and what

55
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 4: both are capable of doing. Patrick got out on us

56
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 4: a couple of times where you know, I thought we

57
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 4: just got to escape our blocks, you know a little

58
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 4: bit cleaner. We were in positions just got to escape

59
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 4: the blocks. I thought Jimmy had won where he ran

60
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 4: him down. He had a really nice effort to run

61
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 4: him down to get us in a fourth down situation.

62
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 4: Then Patrick scrambled on the one there in the red

63
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 4: zone where we gotta we gotta get him down, Like

64
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 4: guys just gotta have their eyes back and be aware

65
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 4: once he crosses the line of scrimmage, we gotta we

66
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 4: can abort coverage at that point and then go and

67
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 4: get him. It would be the same this week. The

68
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 4: thing that's difficult when you play quarterbacks like Patrick, you

69
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 4: know and Lamar is everybody gets in there with the run, run, run, run. Yes,

70
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 4: they can run, but these guys also scramble to throw.

71
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 4: So as a coach, you're coaching them to do what

72
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 4: we call plaster and coverage. So when the quarterbacks just

73
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:18,359
Speaker 4: starts to move around and scramble, you can't abort so quickly.

74
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 4: That's where a lot of people got caught, especially versus

75
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 4: Mahomes in the red zone where he would run and

76
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 4: he's like running towards the sideline, they would drop coverage.

77
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 4: He would dump it over the head. But once he

78
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 4: crosses the line of scrimmates, now we gotta go. So

79
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 4: we just gotta you know, how we rectify that. This

80
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 4: week is just understanding. Yes, plaster and coverage, but once

81
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 4: he breaks the line of scrimmates, everybody has to have

82
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 4: elite pursuit towards him.

83
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: In the game against the Chiefs, you talked about opportunities

84
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: that you had coach, and there are no moral victories,

85
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: but you could play with them, and you certainly establish that.

86
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 2: You just have to make the plays and crunch time. Right.

87
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, for sure, we know we can play with them.

88
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 4: We can play with anybody in the league. But one

89
00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 4: thing I always tell our guys, we got we can't

90
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 4: play against the Texans and the opponent, right, So some

91
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 4: things where we can clean up just in those critical moments,

92
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 4: whether it's you know, third down, you know, making the throw,

93
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 4: making the catch on third down, third down, being tighter

94
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:18,039
Speaker 4: in coverage right, understanding what's happening and making those plays,

95
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 4: being able to escape and get off and get to

96
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 4: the quarterback. So it's just all of the little things

97
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 4: that come back, and it's not something grand. It just

98
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 4: always goes back to executing in those critical moments. And

99
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 4: I always mentioned case that's what they do well, right,

100
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 4: That's why they've won a lot of one score games

101
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,840
Speaker 4: because I think when the fourth quarter comes, it's not

102
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 4: that they're doing a lot different. It's just they aren't

103
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 4: making the mistakes to beat themselves, whereas other teams are

104
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 4: making the mistakes. And I said, we had our moments.

105
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 4: We had a big short yard to stop. I think

106
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 4: Nev and Mario had two stops back to back third

107
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:56,279
Speaker 4: and fourth down.

108
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 3: So we're there at.

109
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 4: Midfield, like, man, can we go down get a drive

110
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:02,840
Speaker 4: right there to score? And then we don't get it

111
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 4: and they come down to have another big drive, they score,

112
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 4: We drive back down. We have our moment again and

113
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 4: we just we just come off shore. So we were

114
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 4: going back and forth alive, right, and we can go

115
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 4: back and forth with all the teams. And then we

116
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 4: did it versus the Lions, we did its versus the Chiefs. Now,

117
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 4: how do we get over that hump and find a

118
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 4: way to win?

119
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 5: Coach, Yesterday's shot goes down four to fifth. Play the game,

120
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,599
Speaker 5: it goes on early. Kendrick goes in there right guard,

121
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 5: and just watching the few players just focusing on him,

122
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 5: felt like, man, he's going against Chris Jones and he's

123
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 5: not only holding his own, he's moving him a little

124
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 5: bit in the run game. When you had a chance

125
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 5: to go back and look at the film, how'd you

126
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 5: think Kendrick fit in there right guard? And how did

127
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 5: you think the offensive line played once he went in there?

128
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, I thought Kendrick stepped in and he held his

129
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,359
Speaker 4: own like he played with that grit to nasty, like

130
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,840
Speaker 4: he scrapped like that's what I loved about, And that's

131
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 4: old line play, like it's scrappy. It's nasty in there.

132
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,280
Speaker 4: But I mean, you see this athleticism to jump off

133
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 4: the tape, him getting up to the second level finishing

134
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 4: guys him blocking against Chris Jones like he can do it.

135
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 4: It just has to remain consistent. And that's the thing, Kendrick,

136
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 4: just being consistent time and time again. But collectively, as

137
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 4: a group thought the guys did a really nice job

138
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 4: versus the A D line. We knew Chris Jones was

139
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 4: going to be a problem and we had I felt

140
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 4: like we had really good awareness for Chris Jones and

141
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 4: where he was at all times. Think they made guide

142
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 4: us one time, but overall we had really good protection

143
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 4: and then allows CG, I think, to step up and

144
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 4: make some really nice throws. I think the accuracy really

145
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 4: showed the CJ making some nice throws across the middle

146
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 4: of the field to the sidelines. So overall I really

147
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 4: liked you know how we protected yesterday, coach.

148
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 1: We don't want to relive it too much, but when

149
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: Tank goes down, first of all, he hangs out to

150
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 1: the football amazing, scores the touchdown, and then you see

151
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: what happens, and it's not just about you having to

152
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 1: deal with Tank, but the emotions of his teammates seeing

153
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: what he was going through, and you as the leader

154
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,279
Speaker 1: dealing with all of that. And knowing we still have

155
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 1: a big chunk of this game to go and a

156
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:04,160
Speaker 1: remarkable opportunity.

157
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 2: What was that like for you?

158
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 3: Man?

159
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,280
Speaker 4: So much going on at that time, and you know,

160
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 4: you see God go down. I didn't even know it

161
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 4: was a touchdown. It's just so much happening at that time.

162
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 4: And for me anytime you're playing and you see the

163
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 4: reaction from the other team and them like yelling for

164
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 4: the medical stat that, so I'm like, oh man, this

165
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 4: is this is not good. As I'm walking out to

166
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,239
Speaker 4: take on him, it's like, oh, this can't be good.

167
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 4: So I already have that feeling. You don't know what

168
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 4: it is until you get out there. And then just

169
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 4: to see you know, CJ, Joe, see Jared, Like just

170
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 4: to see everybody and how emotional they were is man,

171
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 4: it was no words that I could even give in

172
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 4: that moment. It's just like, man, I feel for Tank

173
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 4: instantly start praying for him and he would be okay,

174
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 4: And you know, how.

175
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 3: Do you get the guys back right after?

176
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 4: You know, and it's it's twofold because I see, like, man,

177
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 4: this our team is special. Yeah, that's the part that's

178
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 4: like wow, like they genuinely care about each other and

179
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 4: they this is not fake. It's not just talking brotherhood like,

180
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 4: it's genuine. So you see that and you see the emotion,

181
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 4: and for me it's you know, first thing is just

182
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 4: making sure a tank is going to be okay. They

183
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 4: get him, they get him off. Just really thankful for

184
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 4: Kansas City, Rick Perkholder and hold Her and their whole

185
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 4: medical team, like they did a really nice job of

186
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:38,839
Speaker 4: accommodating Tank, getting them set up, and you know, at

187
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 4: that moment, now you gotta get everybody back.

188
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:42,319
Speaker 3: I really I didn't.

189
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 4: Know it's a touchdown until I walked back over to

190
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 4: the sideline and I saw the field.

191
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,959
Speaker 3: Goal team out though oh dang, he scored Like.

192
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 4: I didn't even It wasn't even on my mind about

193
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 4: the points at that time. But I'm like, okay, we're

194
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 4: about to tie it up and we're back in this.

195
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 4: How do we get the guys back going because it's

196
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 4: such an emotional gut punts and you know it's going

197
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 4: to be a low there for a minute. And the

198
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 4: same thing happened, you know, with the injury versus Miami.

199
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,679
Speaker 4: When to do Bose goes down, it's just it just

200
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 4: sucks the emotion out of everyone, like we have to

201
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 4: get back to playing football. When you see a guy

202
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 4: go down on the feel, it's hard to rebound it.

203
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 4: It takes a couple of plays for everybody to get

204
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:26,959
Speaker 4: back into it. But I thought our guys eventually they

205
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 4: got back to it. They bounced back as best as

206
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 4: they could, and they still competed. They still went out

207
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 4: play hard and compete. It just didn't end up on

208
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:36,680
Speaker 4: the winning side of things.

209
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 5: Coach, I think that's if you were to write down

210
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 5: a definition swarm, and we've talked about this before, I

211
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 5: think that's maybe the final piece that you talked about,

212
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 5: because I feel like that's what you and the leadership

213
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 5: here for this organization have been trying to cultivate and

214
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 5: it is we're here. We all wear the logo we're

215
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,679
Speaker 5: all brothers here, brothers and sisters together. And I feel

216
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,079
Speaker 5: like that's maybe the last part of swarm, is that

217
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 5: you play for yourself. Yes, you play for the organization,

218
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:04,679
Speaker 5: but y'all shoul play for your brother It feels like

219
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 5: you've definitely achieved that with this particular team for sure.

220
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's everything that I believe in.

221
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 4: When you're you know, we want to establish an organization

222
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 4: that's that's everybody has some pride in what we're doing. Right,

223
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 4: That's what I want to establish, the pride that everybody

224
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 4: is proud to where the logo everybody's proud to say,

225
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 4: I'm a Textan, like it means something.

226
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 3: And I was thinking for in that.

227
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 4: Moment, you don't want it to, but it shows, like, man,

228
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 4: it does mean something to be a textan and we

229
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:42,079
Speaker 4: care for each other. It's that team first mentality, that

230
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 4: swarm mentality, meaning that we're all in this together. It's

231
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 4: one of our guys hurt. We all heard one of

232
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 4: our guys. Success is everyone's success. And so that's what

233
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 4: I had envisioned and coming here back to Houston to

234
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 4: create that team first mentality that's swarming mentally, and we're here.

235
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:04,679
Speaker 1: And here to play the Ravens on Christmas Day. And

236
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 1: we talked about how short a turnaround it is, and

237
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 1: you mentioned in your press conference about Regin and you

238
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 1: got to hit that hard. How do you hit that hard?

239
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 1: How do you go about that in a short amount

240
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 1: of time. What are the guys doing to help their

241
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 1: bodies get back faster if you will.

242
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, like a day like today, our guys have already.

243
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,319
Speaker 4: They've been in the weight room with Coach Mike and

244
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 4: they have a program they're going through recovering, not a

245
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 4: at this point now. It's not a huge lift like

246
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 4: in the weight room, but it's more so when you're

247
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:36,679
Speaker 4: just kind of resetting your body, recentering your body, some

248
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 4: stretching right, some small exercises just to get your body

249
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 4: moving again. We also have a yoga session set up

250
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 4: later today. So everything the guys need rolling in the

251
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 4: medical staff, all of the treatment that the guys need

252
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 4: is just around the clock at this point in time.

253
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 4: You know everybody's working there, aren't there. There's no closing hours,

254
00:11:58,400 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 4: there's no time that we're closing.

255
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 3: We're open. Guys are here taking care of their bodies

256
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 3: the right way.

257
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 6: Coach.

258
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 5: I know it was last year, but you face the

259
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 5: Ravens twice now. I know they're constructed a little differently

260
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 5: because of number twenty two.

261
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 2: What's his name, Derek Henry.

262
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 3: He's a gohead guy.

263
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 5: Lightly that guy, but just your guys having I thought

264
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 5: about this yesterday about the number of guys that had

265
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 5: not faced Mahomes. Even Sting had not faced Mahomes because

266
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 5: he was heard as a rookie and then Kaylin's facing him,

267
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 5: and Kamari they're facing him for the first time.

268
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 6: But you've seen Lamar before.

269
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,319
Speaker 5: You saw him twice last year for the young guys

270
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 5: that were here, and the guys that were here, you

271
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 5: faced Henry last year twice?

272
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 6: Does it and we'll find out on Wednesday?

273
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 5: But is there any advantage as you see it that

274
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 5: you that guys have seen them that Okay, the play

275
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 5: speed's got to be at a certain rate because these

276
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 5: guys get the ball, it's a little different. Is it

277
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:50,839
Speaker 5: good to have seen them at least even last year

278
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 5: a couple of times.

279
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 4: It is good to have seen them and have guys

280
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,719
Speaker 4: who are out there to have done it so they

281
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,439
Speaker 4: can relay the message of what it was like, you know,

282
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 4: playing again, it's Lamar playing against the Ravens, so it's

283
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 4: no surprises, you know, kind of where our shortcomings were

284
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 4: and you know what it's gonna take, Like, hey, we

285
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 4: were there, but we didn't do X y Z to

286
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 4: close it out. So hearing that from amongst the players

287
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 4: will be I think very beneficial, especially that Steam sharing

288
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 4: with Kamari and sharing with Kaelin, Like what is it

289
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 4: going to take for us to win this game.

290
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 3: So that is helpful.

291
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 4: And our guys they know they don't need to get

292
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 4: up or make the game bigger than it needs to be.

293
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:33,839
Speaker 4: Like we've played them before. You understand who they are.

294
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,959
Speaker 4: You played Derrick Henry before, you know what type of

295
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 4: runner he is. You know how we have to approach him, how,

296
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 4: you know what our tackling style has to be going

297
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 4: against him, And so we know what it takes. We've

298
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 4: been here, we've seen these players before. Nobody should be

299
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 4: wide eyed in this moment. Just got to go out

300
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 4: and play play the game the right way.

301
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,320
Speaker 1: I always thought Lamar Jackson was his own personal play

302
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 1: action passer because just stepping forward just sucks everybody in

303
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:02,960
Speaker 1: and you just step back and now he can throw

304
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:06,079
Speaker 1: it over the top. He has that kind of ability

305
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 1: right to read the defense well, throw it accurately, and

306
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:10,320
Speaker 1: everybody has to respect the run.

307
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, you have to man as soon as he steps up,

308
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 4: you got because he they have a good amount of

309
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 4: quarterback design runs. So that's gonna make you step down

310
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 4: a little bit because you have to honor him. And

311
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 4: then when it's not like you said, it's a play

312
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 4: action and now he's so he's so fast, get into

313
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 4: the sideline that man, You do I go get him

314
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 4: or not?

315
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 3: Do I stay in coverage?

316
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 4: And that's where you find guys are wide open in

317
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 4: the back end right and whereas it Flowers is wide

318
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 4: open back there somewhere likely Andrews. Those guys are open

319
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 4: because Lamar can. He can buy time a little different

320
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 4: than the other guys by time just with his exceptional speed.

321
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 3: You have to honor him.

322
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 5: I know they're different players, coach, but the way that

323
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 5: when Jalen was healthy, that you would employ Jalen Petrie,

324
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 5: you define where he was on the formation because he's

325
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 5: being coveraged. Maybe he's rushing, he's blitzing, et cetera. Ravens

326
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 5: have one of those guys too, in Kyle Hamilton. Where

327
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 5: he can line up, he might play some linebacker, he

328
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 5: might play some safety. How important is it for the

329
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 5: offense to understand a where he is and be what

330
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 5: his role might be. How you account for a player

331
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 5: like that that can do so many different things on

332
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 5: the field.

333
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think the Ravens have done a really good

334
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 4: job of moving Kyle around and put him in put

335
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 4: him in a position to where he can be successful

336
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 4: while he drops down in that dime linebacker role where

337
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 4: he's covering the running backs.

338
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 3: He dropped back, as you said, in safety.

339
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 4: And he's playing a hook position as a safety and

340
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 4: he's a ballhawk as well. So man a guy with

341
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 4: his size, his talent, he's a problem and you have

342
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 4: to kind of like last week we were talking about

343
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 4: knowing where you know, Chris Jones was all the time.

344
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 4: You got to know where Kyle Hamilton is as well,

345
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 4: because Scott can be in so many different spots doing

346
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 4: so many different things. And that's where the Ravens f

347
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 4: thrive is a defense. Think them just having so many

348
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 4: different guys as linebackers or defensive backs, being able to

349
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 4: do multiple roles and servant and do multiple tasks throughout

350
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 4: the game. They can deploy those guys in many different

351
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 4: ways and you just have to you know, you can't

352
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 4: get too am with it, but you got to be

353
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 4: able to execute what you have.

354
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 3: But you got to have some awareness.

355
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 1: You were talking about what it means to be a

356
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 1: Texan earlier, and the Ravens have their identity right and

357
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 1: it adjusts year to year.

358
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 2: Every team is different year to year, but.

359
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 1: They have that brand of the way they play and

360
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 1: the way they are and that's what you're seeking here,

361
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 1: right you just mentioned it. You feel like this team

362
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 1: is achieving some of that, but I know you want

363
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 1: to see more.

364
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, for sure, there's an identity that when the team plays,

365
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 4: you know, like the Ravens, you know they're gonna be

366
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 4: a physical football team, right, Like, no matter in what

367
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 4: year since Harball has been there, they've always been a

368
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 4: physical football team. Played great defense, really really good on

369
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 4: special teams. Like offensively, they find a way to sustain drives,

370
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 4: being aggressive on fourth down, Like that's kind of that's

371
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:06,160
Speaker 4: their identity. They're gonna run the ball, and so same

372
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 4: with us, Like the Texans. I think when people play UFS,

373
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 4: they know, man, those guys, they fly around, they play fast,

374
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,920
Speaker 4: They're gonna hit you like you gotta be you gotta

375
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 4: bring it when you play the Texas. I think that's

376
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 4: the identity that we're in. Our reputation that we're getting

377
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:24,920
Speaker 4: around the league can tell you, like how many coaches

378
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:28,200
Speaker 4: come up after a game and like, man, we look

379
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,119
Speaker 4: like we love the way you guys play, Like, you

380
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 4: guys play hard, you guys play you got the guys

381
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 4: rolling playing So that's the biggest compliment a coach can

382
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:39,920
Speaker 4: ever give me, is that when they see our tape

383
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:43,119
Speaker 4: and they see our guys play, they know it's different.

384
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,679
Speaker 4: And that's always I always stress that to our guys

385
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 4: that everybody doesn't play like we play. Everybody's not gonna

386
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 4: play all out hard every single snap. But I just say,

387
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 4: you have to maximize, you know, the time that you

388
00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 4: have playing this game, Like why wouldn't you Like, you

389
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,880
Speaker 4: don't know how long you have to play this game.

390
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 4: So if you're going to do it, do it all out,

391
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:10,399
Speaker 4: do it at your best right, and exhaust every single

392
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,119
Speaker 4: fiber or your body to do it right. Because so

393
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 4: many people who want to, you know, give whatever they

394
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 4: have to be in your shoes playing in the NFL.

395
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 4: That's the dream of so many little kids who are

396
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:24,439
Speaker 4: playing football to get in the NFL. You're here, and

397
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 4: you have this wonderful opportunity. Man, go out and be

398
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 4: the best that you can be.

399
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,120
Speaker 5: Coach, the one thing that's different other than the team

400
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:34,680
Speaker 5: we're playing. When we played the Jets, we played here Sunday,

401
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:38,159
Speaker 5: but there Thursday where we had to travel the day before.

402
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 5: Now we play away, but now we're playing at home.

403
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 5: How much more valuable is it to play at home

404
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 5: on a short week, just so you know, worried about

405
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,679
Speaker 5: travel and weather, especially at this time of year. How

406
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 5: important is it that we're playing this game at home

407
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 5: on Wednesday? Is supposed to be on the road.

408
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:55,920
Speaker 3: Who so thankful to be home?

409
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was That was a tough one versus a

410
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:01,359
Speaker 4: Jets because not only were we traveling, but that was

411
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 4: one of our longest trips travel, longest trips of the year,

412
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,920
Speaker 4: you know, going to New York. So being at home

413
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,359
Speaker 4: should be a home field advantage so to speak.

414
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 3: We don't have to travel.

415
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 4: Guys get to maximize as much rest as possible in

416
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,919
Speaker 4: that day. The day before the game, you can really

417
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 4: rest up even more where the other team has to

418
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:21,440
Speaker 4: do the traveling.

419
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:24,920
Speaker 3: So hopefully that plays into our favor a little bit here, all.

420
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 1: Right, Halftime will be a little bit longer because Beyonce's performing,

421
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 1: so you probably like that though, a little bit longer,

422
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:35,119
Speaker 1: half a little bit extra time in the locker room

423
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 1: talking to the guys, guys just sort of getting their

424
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:37,880
Speaker 1: bodies back.

425
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:39,640
Speaker 3: Well, we can't go out and see Beyonce.

426
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:41,119
Speaker 2: And I guess you came.

427
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 4: Keep the halftime the same for us, keep it short

428
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 4: and then we use all the extra time to go

429
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 4: out and watch Beyonce. Sure, now it'll be a little

430
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:51,879
Speaker 4: different for us, kind of similar to like a super

431
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 4: Bowl halftime, where you have probably about twenty minutes a

432
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 4: little bit over twenty minutes as a halftime, so you know,

433
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 4: it'll be a time where as coaches is not as

434
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 4: rushed or we have to go and make adjustments and

435
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 4: talk to the guys. So we'll give the guys a

436
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:08,880
Speaker 4: little bit more time on the front end, and then

437
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,360
Speaker 4: we'll go in and make our adjustments, and then we'll

438
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 4: make sure our guys, you know, just understand, like get up,

439
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,879
Speaker 4: get moving again. Our strength coach, coach Mike, he'll have

440
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 4: some stuff for the guys rolling and have stuff for

441
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:23,199
Speaker 4: the guys and make sure that we're just not sitting

442
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 4: too long. So we get back out. Just got to

443
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 4: reset our past, get some striders so we're we can

444
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:29,879
Speaker 4: hit the ground rolling.

445
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,239
Speaker 5: It's gonna feel like forever because you're so used to

446
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 5: that twelve minute halftime and just in you do your

447
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 5: thing and you get back out, but you know, a

448
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 5: little bit longer halftime.

449
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:41,440
Speaker 6: It's fine. So this game is on Netflix. No, locally,

450
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 6: it'll be shown.

451
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 5: I'm not sure what station it's gonna be on locally,

452
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 5: but game's gonna be on Netflix. Have they asked you

453
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 5: to do a number of things because it is the

454
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 5: first time that they've had NFL games on Netflix?

455
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:51,920
Speaker 6: Have you been asked to do like a number of

456
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 6: different things for Netflix?

457
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 3: You know what I have?

458
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 5: Not?

459
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 3: Okay?

460
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:58,400
Speaker 1: All right, let's right as you questions. All right, we're good,

461
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 1: We're good. No, don't give them any more time. You

462
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:02,680
Speaker 1: gotta focus on the matter at hand.

463
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 3: Yes, there we go.

464
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 2: Do you have a favorite Beyonce song? Though?

465
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:07,399
Speaker 3: Favorite Beyonce song? Oh?

466
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:11,679
Speaker 1: Man go, Yeah, I've seen dream Girls. I thought there,

467
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:13,159
Speaker 1: I think is what is it?

468
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 3: Before I let you go?

469
