I mean, our coaches 20 00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 5: do a great job each week trying to self scout ourselves, 21 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:06,000 Speaker 5: but there's a few things that come up that you 22 00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,000 Speaker 5: know when you have a little bit more extended time 23 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:09,520 Speaker 5: that you're able to look at and say, okay, we 24 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:13,520 Speaker 5: can be better here. Whether it's calling it preparation concepts, 25 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:14,319 Speaker 5: whatever it might be. 26 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,680 Speaker 7: Do you feel that bye week was just necessary at 27 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 7: this point? I mean this team started earlier than just 28 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 7: about everybody. With the Chiefs, you had the latest bye week, 29 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 7: and now you're heading into you know, three games eleven 30 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:30,120 Speaker 7: day is just time wise. Just how challenging has that 31 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:31,119 Speaker 7: been and what was the. 32 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:31,920 Speaker 2: Benefits of the vibe? 33 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:36,560 Speaker 5: The benefits were again, you know, the things we talked 34 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 5: about in terms of looking ourselves and then future opponents. 35 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 5: You can see it in terms of our injury report. 36 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:43,959 Speaker 5: You can see in terms of having the week for 37 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 5: our guys. To me, it's it's more for our players 38 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 5: and their bodies more than it is us. 39 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 8: I mean, it's what we do. 40 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 5: I mean we came in, we worked just like we 41 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 5: would as if we were you know, it was a 42 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 5: game week, so you know it. 43 00:01:57,880 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 8: You always say that comes at the right time, but 44 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 8: I think it did. 45 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 9: Mark Andrews is one touchdown from the organization record, in 46 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 9: your perspective, would make. 47 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 2: Them so special. 48 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 5: Competitiveness, I mean, he's, uh, he's an elite competitor. I 49 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,919 Speaker 5: think that's the best way to put it. Football is 50 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 5: important to him. Everything we do is important. To him, 51 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 5: meetings are important to him, his body is important to him, 52 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 5: how he plays, So he's a He's a top, top 53 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 5: level competitor, one of the top competitors I've ever I've 54 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 5: ever been around. 55 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 10: Do you ever have to dial him back, like in 56 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 10: trading camp in July or you know, just because he's 57 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 10: so intense in everything he. 58 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,680 Speaker 5: Does, he does a pretty good job of monitoring himself. 59 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 5: You'd have to ask him that. I haven't ever. I 60 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 5: think we've had to do that with you know, any 61 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 5: of our players that go as hard as he goes. 62 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 8: I think that's uh. 63 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:54,639 Speaker 5: He probably would run himself in the ground, But you'd 64 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 5: have to ask him that, Like I don't. It doesn't 65 00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 5: feel like we've ever monitored that other than when he's 66 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 5: been nicked up a little bit because he doesn't want 67 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:02,519 Speaker 5: to be out. 68 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 8: He really wants to be in there. I mean, he 69 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 8: loves playing the game. 70 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:12,360 Speaker 2: You have Army and Navy playing here in this area 71 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 2: this week. I know you're not a disinterested observer to that. 72 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 2: Do you being able to see jet. 73 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:19,639 Speaker 8: At all and dec or? 74 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 5: I would doubt it, but go Army. 75 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,679 Speaker 10: Obviously that a few Giants have lost some guys up front, 76 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:31,640 Speaker 10: for their in their past rush, you guys have had 77 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 10: the opportunity for the upsive line to every group and 78 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 10: get healthy over the bridge. 79 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 2: Just how do you kind of see. 80 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 10: That that uh, that matchup shaping up in I guess 81 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 10: what are your kind of expectations for the line over 82 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 10: these next four weeks? 83 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 5: Well, I thought the guys that they played last week 84 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 5: played played pretty well. Like I did, I didn't see, 85 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 5: you know, a significant drop off. I mean, they're pros. 86 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 5: You know, they've been waiting for their opportunity. So we're 87 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 5: gonna have to play well. We're gonna play a lot 88 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 5: better than we did a couple of weeks ago, and 89 00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,080 Speaker 5: our guys are up to that challenge. I think the 90 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 5: byeway's going to help, and we've got to be ready 91 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 5: to go. I mean, you know, not only their guys 92 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 5: up front, but you know five of the last six 93 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 5: games that they played have been one score games. 94 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 8: I mean, let's let's say it like it is. 95 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 5: They're certainly more than capable, and they do a good 96 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,839 Speaker 5: job on defense. Schematically, they get good players. We're gonna 97 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:17,719 Speaker 5: have to play butts off. 98 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 11: As he gets to these December January games, how much 99 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 11: does weather affect game planning. 100 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 5: I guess it could if you knew in advance, you 101 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 5: know what you're getting. We don't always know in advance 102 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:39,839 Speaker 5: what we're getting. I do think your ability to be 103 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,159 Speaker 5: able to run the ball, play with physicality, control the 104 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 5: game that way certainly carries you maybe more win than 105 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 5: it does rain. But you know, it hasn't come up 106 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 5: yet this year to where I've thought about that part 107 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 5: of it. 108 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 11: I don't know if you've followed it at all, but 109 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 11: I'm curious to get any reaction to Bill Belichick taking 110 00:04:58,800 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 11: the UNC job. 111 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 5: Huh, all right, I don't know how to react. Good 112 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 5: for him, I mean, if that's what he wants to do, 113 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:12,360 Speaker 5: Good for anybody that has an opportunity to be a 114 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 5: head coach again, whatever level that might be. I'm sure 115 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:20,039 Speaker 5: it's an exciting time for him those that go with 116 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 5: him there, and for the University North Carolina. I mean, 117 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 5: you know, so good for him. 118 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,440 Speaker 1: Next up is defensive coordinator Sac War. 119 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 12: How y'all doing y'are doing? Alright? Alright? I'm doing good zat. 120 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,040 Speaker 4: I know the focus is kind of is going to 121 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 4: be the Giants all week, but you do have three 122 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:44,560 Speaker 4: games and eleve days. 123 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 7: What's the biggest challenges as far as a coaching staff 124 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,680 Speaker 7: when you have that many games. 125 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 2: In that short run. 126 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 13: I think just making sure you guys prepared, making sure 127 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 13: they can go out there and execute what you're asking 128 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 13: them to do and put them in the best position 129 00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 13: to succeed. I know, me personally and us personally, like 130 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:01,719 Speaker 13: I'm all on the giants. I haven't even worried about 131 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,359 Speaker 13: nobody else, Like I'll stay up late or get up 132 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 13: early when those guys, you know, when those guys show up. 133 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 12: But I'll focus on the giants. 134 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,919 Speaker 13: So just preparing that way and whatever challenges other teams 135 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 13: may present. 136 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:14,800 Speaker 12: You know, we're having me days, we had to prepare 137 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 12: for them. 138 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 13: We'll make sure we get the work done and being 139 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 13: a best position to see Zack. 140 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 6: There's there's a randomness to turnovers to some degree. You know, 141 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 6: they come in bunches and it's just how the ball 142 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:26,839 Speaker 6: bounces some But for the numbers to be down where 143 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:28,240 Speaker 6: they are as you had this buy, we did you 144 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 6: go back and look and see, like how much are 145 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 6: you creating the plays you want to create to try 146 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 6: and force them? You know, maybe is that not matching 147 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:36,800 Speaker 6: the results or is it just or you're not creating 148 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 6: enough of those. 149 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,599 Speaker 12: Kinds of plays. I think that it's a combination. 150 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:41,920 Speaker 13: I think that we've had opportunities that we didn't take 151 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 13: advantage of, even whether it's drop interceptions or we get 152 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 13: a sack, but we're not stripping at the ball. And 153 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 13: then I think also with you know, some of the plays, 154 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,160 Speaker 13: you know, with some of the plays you know obviously 155 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,479 Speaker 13: you know blitzes and stuff that causes more you know, turnover. 156 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 13: So we look at all that throughout the bye week. 157 00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:59,720 Speaker 13: So I'm excited our guys are aware of it. We 158 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,479 Speaker 13: made a big emphasis say, you know, coming out of 159 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,279 Speaker 13: these last four games, we want to be able to 160 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,160 Speaker 13: you know, generate takeaways and play red zone defense. 161 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 12: So my guys are aware of it, they practice at it. 162 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 12: We got a good chance. 163 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 13: We got a good job getting a ball out today, 164 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 13: and practice good job geting the ball out Monday and 165 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 13: yesterday as well.

You know, guys are trusting each other more, 190 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 13: trusting the scheme more, and just feel like they can 191 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 13: go out there and go play and know that if 192 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 13: I do my job, the person next to me is 193 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 13: gonna be where they're supposed to be at. 194 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 10: To get back off that question, Chris, you when we 195 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 10: talked to him last week, said that the defense had 196 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 10: been simplified someway, at least on the back end. I mean, 197 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 10: does being more aggressive and being more exotic kind of 198 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 10: going hand in hand? 199 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 3: Are those two separate notions? 200 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 13: I think you can still be aggressive and exotic and 201 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 13: still keep it simple. You know a lot of times, 202 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 13: you know you can. You can try to do a 203 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 13: lot of stuff and have a lot of different play 204 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 13: calls in and I think we've done a good job 205 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 13: of just simplifying just a verbiage and just trusting our 206 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,680 Speaker 13: guys that it might not be the perfect play call 207 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 13: for the perfect situation, but just trust them that they 208 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 13: go out there and play their fundamentals and play the 209 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:49,720 Speaker 13: technique that they'll be fine. So I think that's what 210 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,680 Speaker 13: we kind of got more to. I think we definitely 211 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 13: still exotic, Definitely still we get to a lot of 212 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 13: our stuff that we want to get to and attack protections, 213 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 13: attack offenses. But simplifying a lot of the verbiage and 214 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 13: a lot of the checks I think help us out 215 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 13: a lot. 216 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:07,680 Speaker 10: Sometimes in the buying week, a team will really maybe 217 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:11,520 Speaker 10: make a substantive change to something and your team kind of. 218 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 12: Did it on the fly before you ever got to 219 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 12: the bye week?

So I think we 228 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 13: looked at everything. Man, it was a real productive week. 229 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:36,959 Speaker 13: I felt like we got a lot done as a 230 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:41,440 Speaker 13: coaching staff. But I specifically looked at, you know, the 231 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:42,480 Speaker 13: players we were giving up. 232 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 12: While we're giving up, was. 233 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:47,520 Speaker 13: It you know, certain calls or certain opponents we're going against, 234 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,679 Speaker 13: certain coverages, certain blitzes, certain players.

Man, 248 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 13: he's explosive player. He kind of you know, he's not 249 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:27,320 Speaker 13: he's not there yet, but he kind of reminded me 250 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,840 Speaker 13: just from his college tape, kind of like Jamar Chase 251 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,439 Speaker 13: from a sense of he's explosive, he can make contested catches, 252 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:34,719 Speaker 13: he gets the ball in his hands. He's a good 253 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 13: rat guy. So you know he's he's a good player. 254 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,200 Speaker 13: They feature him, they trust him a lot. He's one 255 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 13: of the leading receivers when they leading targets him and 256 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:44,439 Speaker 13: Wandelle Robinson, and. 257 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 12: You know he's a good player. 258 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 13: We definitely got to, you know, know where he's at 259 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 13: and make sure we take care of him and not 260 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:51,960 Speaker 13: let him wreak the game TVs. 261 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,200 Speaker 7: Robinson has parked out of a bigger role without necessarily 262 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,600 Speaker 7: getting a lot of tension for it from me outside 263 00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 7: from your standpoint, where is he growing the most this year? 264 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,560 Speaker 13: I think in all aspects. I think in all aspects. 265 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 13: I mean, t Rob always been a hard worker, a 266 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:10,079 Speaker 13: physical player. I think now that the game has kind 267 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:11,719 Speaker 13: of just slowed down for him and you were able 268 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 13: to see him just even play even more faster, play faster, 269 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 13: play more aggressive, and play even more physical. And I 270 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 13: think he's even developed better as a rusher as well. 271 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 13: So t Rob's one of those guys who I mean, 272 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:25,720 Speaker 13: he's a raven through and through. He's a guy that 273 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,360 Speaker 13: we love, you know, not talked about a lot, but 274 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 13: just does his job consistently. You know, he might not 275 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:32,640 Speaker 13: get the praise on the outside, we get a lot 276 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 13: of praise, you know, in our meeting room and in 277 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 13: our building because he does everything in the right way. 278 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 13: If he doesn't do it right, then he's trying to 279 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 13: do it right and he's gonna correct it. So I'm 280 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,599 Speaker 13: happy with t Rob. I think he's only going to 281 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,319 Speaker 13: continue to grow and get better, and you know, he's 282 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 13: gonna be very important for us down these last four games. 283 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,680 Speaker 15: So actually knowing how these last four are, how big 284 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,560 Speaker 15: they are for you, and it's an unusual schedule to it. 285 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:54,560 Speaker 16: Do you have to hit. 286 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 15: More one out of time with the guys and then 287 00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:58,959 Speaker 15: when you played was it hard not to peek ahead 288 00:11:58,960 --> 00:11:59,320 Speaker 15: and kind. 289 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,720 Speaker 2: Of think what if now? 290 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 13: I think you definitely know what's on the I think 291 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 13: you definitely know what's on the horizon. But I think 292 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:08,480 Speaker 13: we do a good job here, even when I was 293 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 13: a player expressing like, man, you got to stay singular, 294 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 13: focus on what's going on.

You know, we got to prepare the right 332 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 13: way and make sure we have our stuff ready. 333 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 17: To rolla with the both of the season behind you, 334 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,520 Speaker 17: and as you navigate this role as coordinator, what are 335 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,000 Speaker 17: some of the adjustments you've had to make to continue 336 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 17: to learn and grow in your role. 337 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:43,760 Speaker 13: That's a good that's a good question. I got to 338 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 13: think about that for a second. I gotta think about 339 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:50,120 Speaker 13: it for a second. I think that a lot of 340 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,640 Speaker 13: it's trust, you know, trust the instincts, Trust the instincts. 341 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:54,040 Speaker 12: Unit position for a reason. 342 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 13: And you know, I would probably honestly say that just trust, 343 00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:02,720 Speaker 13: trust instincts. You know, that's I think that. And also 344 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,439 Speaker 13: just you know, trust the players. 345 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:06,800 Speaker 12: Let them. Let them go out there and go do 346 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,200 Speaker 12: their thing. Man. And not that I not that I. 347 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 13: Haven't, but just even more, just like the players are 348 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:13,240 Speaker 13: the ones who make the plays. 349 00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:13,440 Speaker 3: You know. 350 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:14,840 Speaker 12: It's so it's a it's a great call. 351 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 13: When when if a player make great play, even if 352 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 13: it's even if they didn't do the right thing that 353 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 13: you wanted them to do, you know, and it could 354 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:22,000 Speaker 13: be a it could be a bad call. They did 355 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 13: everything right and somebody made a great play. So just 356 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:26,640 Speaker 13: let them go out there, don't overthink it. Just trust 357 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 13: your instincts and and let the chips follow what they may. 358 00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 12: Thank you, we appreciate y'all. 359 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 1: Next, we heard from Special Teams coordinator Chris Horton, good to. 360 00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:44,040 Speaker 12: See everyone today. I hope you guys are doing well. 361 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:48,360 Speaker 18: What do you got for me today, Chris, As your 362 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 18: approach to returning kickoffs changed since you've been learning this. 363 00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 7: New kickoff and all that it requires, that you want 364 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:00,840 Speaker 7: a kind of your structure on that. 365 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:02,000 Speaker 3: As is progressed. 366 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:06,240 Speaker 18: I think looking forward to what we what we did 367 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 18: earlier in the year, I don't think the approach has 368 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:12,560 Speaker 18: changed as much as what we would have initially thought. 369 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 18: I think if teams give gives us a ball, we 370 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:17,640 Speaker 18: our philosophy still is a we want to return that 371 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 18: ball depending on how deep the ball is in the 372 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:21,840 Speaker 18: end zone and things like that. I think again, I 373 00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:24,280 Speaker 18: don't still don't see any benefit of a ball that's 374 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:26,760 Speaker 18: two to three yards deep in the end zone for 375 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 18: us to bring that ball out. Right now, now, as 376 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 18: we continue to study the play, here we are with 377 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:36,200 Speaker 18: four games left, you know, we're starting to see some things. 378 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:39,240 Speaker 18: I think we're doing things a lot better than what 379 00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:41,880 Speaker 18: we did earlier in the year from learning from the play. 380 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,440 Speaker 18: But I don't think the approach has changed much at all. 381 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 6: As it gets colder, you know, generally the ability to 382 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:49,960 Speaker 6: just kick the ball you know, deep into the end 383 00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 6: zone or out of it may not be there as 384 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,440 Speaker 6: much as it has been earlier in the season. So 385 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 6: you what have you learned about returning and also covering 386 00:15:57,760 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 6: in this new format. Do you think now that it's 387 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:01,840 Speaker 6: more like you have to deal with it on are 388 00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 6: more often times. 389 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:03,240 Speaker 12: In a game. 390 00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,280 Speaker 18: It's one of the things that Uh, again we're still 391 00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:08,880 Speaker 18: continuing to look at. We still don't have a lot 392 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:12,200 Speaker 18: of a lot of plays. From our standpoint, I think 393 00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:14,320 Speaker 18: we we tend to do things a little bit differently 394 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:16,480 Speaker 18: than than what I've seen from across the league, from 395 00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:18,080 Speaker 18: as far as you know, how we want to set 396 00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:19,840 Speaker 18: up on the ball, how we want to block. So 397 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 18: I think as we continue to go through the practices, uh, 398 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 18: we continue. 399 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:24,440 Speaker 12: To force ourselves. 400 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 18: You know, while we're out here, we don't we don't 401 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:27,640 Speaker 18: put the ball in the end zone and we're returning 402 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 18: the ball. So it gives us a little bit, uh 403 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:33,160 Speaker 18: of some some tape to watch to kind of see 404 00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 18: how these things work out. But you know, as the 405 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,200 Speaker 18: weather changes, yes, we are gonna get we are going 406 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:39,680 Speaker 18: to get more kicks and uh, I think if our 407 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:42,560 Speaker 18: guys are doing a pretty good job of blocking now 408 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,600 Speaker 18: and putting ourselves in positions to to hit big returns, 409 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 18: and I like the two guys that we have back there. 410 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:50,400 Speaker 6: I haven't seen the numbers league wide, but from your standpoint, 411 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:52,720 Speaker 6: do you feel like it's any harder to break a 412 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,720 Speaker 6: long return than it was on the previous system. 413 00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:56,960 Speaker 12: I wouldn't. I wouldn't. 414 00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,320 Speaker 18: I wouldn't necessarily think it's a it's a lot, it's 415 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:01,240 Speaker 18: a lot harder. I think the angles have changed a 416 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:03,880 Speaker 18: little bit, and kind of how you're setting up on 417 00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:04,320 Speaker 18: the play. 418 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:06,080 Speaker 12: I think the play happens a lot faster. 419 00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,439 Speaker 18: Guys, the coverage guys get on you a lot quicker, 420 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:12,359 Speaker 18: which closes the lanes a little bit faster. But I 421 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,280 Speaker 18: wouldn't I don't necessarily think that you can't hit big 422 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:17,920 Speaker 18: returns because we've seen across this league there there has 423 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:19,480 Speaker 18: been touchdowns, there has been. 424 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:22,639 Speaker 12: Forty plus yard returns. Those things are showing up weekly. 425 00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:25,120 Speaker 18: But again, if the cut, I think it all goes 426 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:28,359 Speaker 18: back to how the coverage team also plays that play 427 00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:30,280 Speaker 18: because there is a defense on the other side of it. 428 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,560 Speaker 6: How has Justin been in practice this week? You're seeing 429 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:34,880 Speaker 6: what you want to see out of him. 430 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:36,919 Speaker 18: I've seen what I want to see, I see what 431 00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 18: I what I'm saying out him every week in practice. 432 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,439 Speaker 18: You know he's been doing He's been doing awesome in practice. 433 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:43,800 Speaker 18: He's in a good place, and I know he's ready. 434 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 18: He's ready to get out there and go play. 435 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:49,400 Speaker 10: Anything that you can do to kind of simulate the game, 436 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,040 Speaker 10: like pressures during practice, or is it just basically when 437 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 10: the lights come on, you've got to be ready. 438 00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:55,800 Speaker 18: It's just, you know, we we try to get out there. 439 00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:57,439 Speaker 18: We say we want to go out there and practice 440 00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:00,520 Speaker 18: how we're going to play. Obviously we can't. We can't 441 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:02,560 Speaker 18: be out there knocking each other around and things like that, 442 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:04,880 Speaker 18: but we do do a good job of sending edge 443 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:06,720 Speaker 18: pressure off the edges and things like that to get 444 00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:07,520 Speaker 18: guys in his face. 445 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:09,119 Speaker 12: Again, you just got to go out there and you 446 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,120 Speaker 12: got to go play. It's it's game day. 447 00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,960 Speaker 11: I think Justin was kicking in there with pretty strong 448 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:16,760 Speaker 11: rains for m yesterday. Did he want to go out 449 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:18,240 Speaker 11: there and do that in the elements just to get 450 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:18,840 Speaker 11: that work or what? 451 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:21,240 Speaker 12: I don't necessarily think Ryan it was the elements. 452 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,400 Speaker 18: I think once we were done with our special teams practice, 453 00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:26,960 Speaker 18: you know this, this indoor isn't big enough for us 454 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:28,800 Speaker 18: to kick on both ends of the field. 455 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:30,000 Speaker 12: You got an offense in the defense. 456 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:31,959 Speaker 18: So as a part of hey we can go outside 457 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:33,800 Speaker 18: and we can get some work with a great day 458 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:35,040 Speaker 18: to go out there and do it, because the guys 459 00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:35,720 Speaker 18: wasn't done yet. 460 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:36,960 Speaker 12: That's all I think it was. 461 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 11: I just saw that the league meetings Troy Bevinzi was 462 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:43,200 Speaker 11: talking about the onside kick and it being a dead play. 463 00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,760 Speaker 11: As he said, I'm just curious your perspective on our 464 00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,560 Speaker 11: onside kicks and whether you feel like, hey, that's a 465 00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:50,960 Speaker 11: part of the game that should continue or what. 466 00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:54,399 Speaker 12: You know. I haven't really thought that much into it. 467 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,320 Speaker 18: Obviously, when you're in it, when you're on the on 468 00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,680 Speaker 18: the hands team, your hands teams out there, it's a 469 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,439 Speaker 18: it's a important that you recover the football, right, you know. 470 00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:04,400 Speaker 18: Obviously there's what been three we've been on the other 471 00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 18: end of it. Two of them you know, happened against us. 472 00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:10,120 Speaker 18: But you know what, you go out there, man, it's 473 00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:12,160 Speaker 18: a hard play. It's a hard play to get that ball. 474 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,040 Speaker 18: You can't you really can't do a lot. You got 475 00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 18: to be stationary. You can't move guys around and things 476 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 18: like that. So you know, whatever they decide to do 477 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,040 Speaker 18: they do, We're just gonna roll with it. 478 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:24,240 Speaker 7: This team signed Deontay Hardy in the off season.

So when those 653 00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:12,080 Speaker 4: opportunities come, those takeaways come, they come in bunches, and 654 00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:14,320 Speaker 4: we believe in that and we can't press at all. 655 00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:16,840 Speaker 4: We just gotta keep doing our job. Each and every 656 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,919 Speaker 4: guy do your job, including myself, and if we do that, 657 00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:22,240 Speaker 4: the stuff everything else will take care of yourself. 658 00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:23,080 Speaker 8: Real cool. 659 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:25,680 Speaker 19: I'm sure you guys respect on your opponents, but obviously 660 00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:27,879 Speaker 19: the Giants atty having a great season right now. When 661 00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:29,440 Speaker 19: you're going on the road to play a team like this, 662 00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:32,280 Speaker 19: it is it important to kind of get out to 663 00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:35,280 Speaker 19: a quick start to to kind of not give putting 664 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:36,480 Speaker 19: like that confidence at all. 665 00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:36,960 Speaker 12: Yeah. 666 00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:39,920 Speaker 4: I think the main message uh this week is setting 667 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,600 Speaker 4: it tone early far as a uh, defensive perspective like 668 00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,280 Speaker 4: with or But I don't I don't think about it 669 00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:48,080 Speaker 4: as like, oh, these guys won what two, three games 670 00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:48,760 Speaker 4: or whatever. 671 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:49,200 Speaker 2: The case may be. 672 00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:51,240 Speaker 4: At the end of the day, each and every one 673 00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:53,200 Speaker 4: of those guys have a job and they're trying to 674 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:55,960 Speaker 4: audition for a job for next year. Those guys have 675 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,919 Speaker 4: a family at home, some have wife kids, So at 676 00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:01,280 Speaker 4: the end of the day, a man is gonna give 677 00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:03,679 Speaker 4: everything he got to provide for that and willing to 678 00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:06,119 Speaker 4: put his life on the line. I'm speaking from my perspective, 679 00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:07,920 Speaker 4: and I know guys over there on that side of 680 00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:10,440 Speaker 4: the ball on our team as well who willing to 681 00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:12,199 Speaker 4: do the same thing.

But I think we have to just take 749 00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:52,360 Speaker 3: take advantage of opportunities, you know, cats, the ones that 750 00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:55,320 Speaker 3: give us, you know, strip the ball, whatever the case 751 00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:57,320 Speaker 3: may be.

You know, they're they're you know, any team, 759 00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:22,880 Speaker 3: it's any given Sunday, you know what I mean, you 760 00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:25,640 Speaker 3: have to prove yourself ea Sunday. But not I don't 761 00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:29,440 Speaker 3: really feed into the trap game mentality. You know that 762 00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:34,080 Speaker 3: you know, they're fully capable of of of winning, you 763 00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:35,920 Speaker 3: know what I mean. And and that goes for every team. 764 00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:37,880 Speaker 3: So uh yeah, we're we're just we just had to 765 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,400 Speaker 3: you know, play our game and you know, uh, play 766 00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:41,080 Speaker 3: to to win. 767 00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:43,360 Speaker 15: When the quarterback has gone back and forth with them, 768 00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:44,880 Speaker 15: but now, I mean, you know it's de beato. Does 769 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,239 Speaker 15: is that any wrinkle where kind of you know that 770 00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:48,480 Speaker 15: that's a little bit late that they come and go 771 00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:50,320 Speaker 15: back forth with them and lock and locks her.
