1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,920
Speaker 1: Saying that Todd Todd yesterday was saying he'd like to

2
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:05,359
Speaker 1: see the offense gets kind of back to the basics,

3
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:07,320
Speaker 1: in fact, what you guys are doing earlier in the year.

4
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:11,760
Speaker 1: Imagine you guys did that conversations along those lines to you, Um,

5
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:13,400
Speaker 1: you know, what what does that mean to you of

6
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 1: getting back to the basics with this offense? Well, I

7
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 1: think we have to, you know, just try to execute

8
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:23,759
Speaker 1: our base stuff, you know, you um, you try to

9
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 1: get some things going in some different areas at times, Uh,

10
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:32,840
Speaker 1: trying to expand because you think sometimes oh they're zer

11
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 1: rolling in on what you're doing. And maybe we if

12
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 1: we get back to just our base offense and things

13
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 1: that we've been working on since training camp, Uh, hopefully

14
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:46,559
Speaker 1: our execution will be better and we can get we

15
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 1: can start faster. That's that's the goal. How much is

16
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: is that? Also? Is there also an emphasis on going

17
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:56,959
Speaker 1: back to having a heavier reliance on the run as

18
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 1: part of that back to basics. Well, try to run

19
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 1: it every week. I mean, if we can run it,

20
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 1: we're gonna run it. I Mean that's just what I

21
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 1: believe in and what we want to do with our

22
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 1: football team is is running football. But when you don't

23
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:18,839
Speaker 1: have early success then um, or the situation the game

24
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 1: dictates you you can't run it as much as you'd like,

25
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 1: then UM, it pushes you away from it a little bit.

26
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 1: So we're trying to We're trying to make sure that

27
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 1: we execute properly so we can have better early success

28
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: and we can stay with it longer. That's the goal.

29
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 1: Some chance, it's simply I guess there's been some slow

30
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 1: starts in the last two weeks in particular, and Ryan

31
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 1: in particular, do you think it's a lack of execution

32
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: something that defense has done to you? You know, what

33
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 1: do you think accounts or starts? Well? Um, you know

34
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: the thing about is we played two pretty good defenses,

35
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 1: and uh, if we want to be where we want

36
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: to be as a football team, UH, we've got to

37
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: play it at that that level on a consistent basis.

38
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: So UH, the key has been consistent execution, um in

39
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:11,919
Speaker 1: all phases running the ball, uh, throwing the ball, or

40
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: past protection, all of those things. We've got to get

41
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: more consistent in those areas. And UM, I think that's

42
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,359
Speaker 1: the point when Todd talks about getting back to basics.

43
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 1: We've got to be more consistent and more effective in

44
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: those areas so that we can so that we can

45
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 1: move the ball and put points on the board, you know,

46
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:34,919
Speaker 1: hopefully earlier in the ball game. Ken, do you think

47
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: that getting away from those basics has all contributed to

48
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 1: those clothes starts as well? Uh? No, I probably not. Um,

49
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: probably it's just uh, it's probably more of the lack

50
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,919
Speaker 1: of our execution and the things that we were trying

51
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: to do. Um. We we've you know, we we try

52
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:55,839
Speaker 1: to do some new things here and there to try

53
00:02:55,880 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: to keep the defense off balance. But sometimes you you

54
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: do those things and they you don't execute them as well.

55
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 1: So if you can get back to the things that

56
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,239
Speaker 1: you know a little bit better, I think that's uh

57
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 1: gonna help us be more consistent and hopefully help us

58
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:21,799
Speaker 1: execute better early in ball games. Ryan, by his on admission,

59
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: said he he hasn't been as sharp as he'd like

60
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: to have been the last couple of weeks. Uh. What

61
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 1: do when you look at his game is what chumps

62
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: out at you that maybe he's not doing that he

63
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: was doing earlier. Well, Um, we we have taken more

64
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 1: shots lately. Uh, We've taken more throws down the field

65
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: than we did earlier in the year. Um, and we

66
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 1: had in the bottom line, and we hadn't hit those

67
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: We hadn't hit those shots. We we've come close, but

68
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: we hadn't hit them. If we can, if we can,

69
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 1: just when we take our shots. Uh, and we it's

70
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: not like it's a ton, but when we take our shots,

71
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: we've got to do a better job of of hitting those.

72
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: And then that kind of jump starts your offense a

73
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: little bit when you can hit those. And um, sometimes

74
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: we um earlier in the year, we were able to

75
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 1: make some bigger plays earlier in ball games. And uh

76
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 1: it got us off on the right foot. That doesn't

77
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: mean we're gonna go out and you know, be bombs

78
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:24,040
Speaker 1: away and wait for a big play to jump start us.

79
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,919
Speaker 1: We gotta go jump start ourselves and not wait on

80
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: a big play to jump start us. Jan, what's your

81
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 1: confidence leveling dead? And Smith right now? Um, you know

82
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 1: he is working better in practice, and he is um

83
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 1: doing the little things a lot better in practice. And

84
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 1: he had a rough game last week. And uh, I

85
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 1: think that as time goes on, he'll end up being

86
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: a good player. But right now, we gotta get his

87
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 1: confidence back. That's the biggest thing. We just gotta gotta

88
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 1: keep letting him have the opportunity heat. The biggest thing

89
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: is he was open, you know. I mean if he's

90
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: if he's open, he will eventually catch it. And I

91
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 1: think that he just needs to get his confidence back.

92
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:13,160
Speaker 1: So I had lost confidence in him. Um, I just

93
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: got to make sure that he keeps confidence in himself. Yeah,

94
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 1: can I guess it along those lines if you noticed,

95
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 1: you know, a sagging confidence from him or from him

96
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 1: of late after the game. He was hurt, which you

97
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 1: know you would expect. He was hurt after the game.

98
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: But as the week is going on, he's gone back

99
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: to work. So that's that's been a positive. Chan. How

100
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 1: did Nick Mangold do today in practice? He took a

101
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: few snaps. It was that was a positive. He took

102
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 1: a few snaps in practice and um uh he you know,

103
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 1: it didn't look any worse for the weare out there.

104
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's exactly the the bandage or

105
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 1: whatever you wanna call it that he will use in

106
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: the game, but what he had on today allowed him

107
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 1: to go out there and be fairly effective. But we

108
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 1: just we limited his snaps today so that now we

109
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: didn't take a chance of getting it banged up even more.
