We 7 00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:29,080 Speaker 1: start with head coach Kevin Stefanski, who gave some promising 8 00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:30,120 Speaker 1: injury updates. 9 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:33,760 Speaker 2: Okay, awesome challenge this week. Really good football team. Three 10 00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:35,880 Speaker 2: and one football team playing very well, playing at a 11 00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:36,720 Speaker 2: high level. 12 00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:39,480 Speaker 3: Well coached. I think they're doing a very very nice job. 13 00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:42,440 Speaker 2: So gotta have a great week of practice and then 14 00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:44,279 Speaker 2: get on the airplane and try to find a way 15 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:46,200 Speaker 2: to win on Sunday. But with that, I'll take any 16 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:47,520 Speaker 2: questions Kevin. 17 00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:50,280 Speaker 4: Just how much of a boost is it emotionally to 18 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:52,559 Speaker 4: get micked back out on the practice. 19 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, with any guy that's working through injuries and rehabbing, 20 00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,840 Speaker 2: you're always excited when they're backing pads and that type 21 00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,120 Speaker 2: of thing. Nick's been here every day, so he's not 22 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 2: far from what we're doing and far from what we're 23 00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 2: thinking about. And he's in every meeting, he's here very early. 24 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,760 Speaker 2: So uh, this is just the next natural progression for 25 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:12,560 Speaker 2: him and for Nahem and Mike. 26 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,759 Speaker 5: When you watch James Daniels gem shoul there's a long 27 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,040 Speaker 5: list of this, But what's most impressive. 28 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:25,399 Speaker 3: By Yeah, it is a long list. The completion percentage 29 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 3: is impressive. 30 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 2: The ability to make plays within the scheme, outside of 31 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 2: the scheme, making throws down the field of tough kid smart, 32 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:37,320 Speaker 2: I mean, just very impressive. 33 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,200 Speaker 5: Well, rookie, it looks like he's pretty comfortable in the 34 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:41,200 Speaker 5: pocket out of pocket. 35 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:43,400 Speaker 6: I guess how rare is that for him? At you? 36 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:45,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, pretty rare, I mean, and this is a guy 37 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 2: that everybody watched him on Saturday, so it kind of 38 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 2: knew his style and knows how he plays. 39 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 3: But it certainly translates and he's doing a great job. 40 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 7: What mean you if you guys can get David back 41 00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 7: on the field. 42 00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 3: In Washington play in the game, Yeah, it's another one. Mary, Kay. 43 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 2: We've got to see how this week goes, see how 44 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 2: he looks throughout this week. But Dave obviously gives our 45 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,519 Speaker 2: offensive boost with his ability both in the run game 46 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,359 Speaker 2: in the past game. But we're really going to see 47 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 2: how he does these next few days. 48 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:17,960 Speaker 8: Kevin, it's pretty obvious that execution is an offensive problem, 49 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:22,119 Speaker 8: although self infut like their wounds. Do you see any 50 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 8: positive in making a change in play cold? 51 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,360 Speaker 2: Yeah for us right now, Tony, Really our focus is 52 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 2: just playing better. Certainly, that doesn't mean players play better. 53 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 2: That means all of us have to do a better job. 54 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 2: So I have to do a better job. Our offensive 55 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 2: coaches have to do a better job. Our offensive players 56 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:40,520 Speaker 2: have to do a better job. But that's all of 57 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 2: us together, So that that's really where our focus is. 58 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:44,639 Speaker 6: So has it been discussed at all? 59 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:49,919 Speaker 3: That's not something we're talking about, Kevin. 60 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 6: This is week five and the Jack and Jed watch. 61 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:57,800 Speaker 9: Just where where are they as far as their health promises? 62 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:02,080 Speaker 3: They're both working very hard, are getting closer. Uh. 63 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 2: I know there are two tackles, but two different injuries. 64 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 2: They're they're working at their They're doing their damn just 65 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 2: to get back. So we'll see what they look like today, tomorrow, Friday. 66 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 2: But that's just how you have to treat any injury. 67 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:17,639 Speaker 2: And these guys in particularly, they're working hard. To get 68 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 2: back Kevin with Naheim when whenever he's able to get back, 69 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:24,359 Speaker 2: well we know what he brings him a return game, 70 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 2: but offensively, what kind of dimension does he out of 71 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 2: that backfield? Yeah, I think you see Nahim and the 72 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,920 Speaker 2: plays that he's made in his career certainly, not just 73 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 2: on special teams, on offense as well. So he's a 74 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 2: talented ball carrier, whether you hand it to him or 75 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 2: throw it to him. 76 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,839 Speaker 3: So excited to get him back out there practice as well. 77 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 4: Kevin SE's very cliff his offense. How is it similar 78 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 4: with what he did with with Kyler now with Jayden? 79 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 4: And how is it how is he you know, altered 80 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 4: and tweaked things to utilize Jayden. 81 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, they've certainly he's involved. There's some things that look 82 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 2: very similar. Some things that they're doing, whether it's schematic, 83 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 2: whether it's concept or personnel or timing of how they 84 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:09,119 Speaker 2: do things. 85 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 3: Is a little bit different. 86 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 2: But it's four it's early, so it's four games into 87 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 2: it for them as well. Just I'm sure they're going 88 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 2: to pivot to different things as they get going, but 89 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:19,280 Speaker 2: they're playing at a very high level. 90 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:21,599 Speaker 6: Daniel's high condition. 91 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:23,599 Speaker 9: I think he's got more scoring drives than he does 92 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 9: in completions to this point, how much pressure is that 93 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 9: going to put on your secondary? 94 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 6: Just when you watch him on the film. 95 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 9: What has made him such an efficient passer? 96 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 2: Well, he's taking what's there, but he's making tough throws 97 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,719 Speaker 2: as well. So at that number, at that clip, he's 98 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:44,360 Speaker 2: making good decisions. He's making quick decisions. He's getting the 99 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 2: ball out on time and accurately to his guys. And 100 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,480 Speaker 2: it's a you know, it's a challenging scheme. They really 101 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 2: put you. They try to put you in conflict as 102 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 2: much as they can. So he's just doing a nice 103 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,280 Speaker 2: job within their scheme. And like I mentioned, he also 104 00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,160 Speaker 2: has the ability to make plays off schedule as well. 105 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 10: Kevin Wahston has had under two hundred yards passing four 106 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:07,920 Speaker 10: straight games first down in his career. Is it understandable 107 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 10: giving you a lead the league and drop passes or 108 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 10: is it concern. 109 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, we don't get too wrapped up Tony and statistics. Obviously, 110 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 2: we want to win games. We want to score points, 111 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 2: and oftentimes that comes with yards in the run and 112 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,159 Speaker 2: the pass game. So we're not concerned with that stat 113 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 2: in particular, but we do want to be more efficient 114 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:29,479 Speaker 2: and more explosive. 115 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 3: For sure. 116 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 7: He did exchange between DeShawn and Dewan and then James 117 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,520 Speaker 7: got a little involved on the sideline. What are your 118 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 7: thoughts there on players kind of holding each other accountable 119 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 7: and having a. 120 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:41,800 Speaker 6: Situation like that. 121 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 2: That's football, Mary Kay, I think it probably happens every game, 122 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,839 Speaker 2: it just doesn't get caught on the camera. Maybe every game, 123 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 2: every game I've been a part of. It's the heat 124 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 2: of the moment. 125 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,160 Speaker 3: So I don't make too much of it in the. 126 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 11: Third down numbers for you guys being that ideal right now, 127 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,039 Speaker 11: But what are some issues there that maybe you guys 128 00:05:58,040 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 11: are pinpointed and. 129 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 6: How is it do you think it? 130 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 2: Well, it's really important obviously to get in manageable down 131 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 2: the distances if you are in third down. We've talked 132 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,920 Speaker 2: about that, so that really speaks to first and second down. 133 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 2: But then it's always a combination of protection precision. In 134 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:18,040 Speaker 2: the past game, it takes all eleven to have success 135 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:18,599 Speaker 2: on third down. 136 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,360 Speaker 5: You're talking about drops Kevin, the ones that Amari has 137 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:24,039 Speaker 5: seem uncharacteristic. 138 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 6: So when you're watching them, is there anything that jumps. 139 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:27,160 Speaker 12: Out of you? 140 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:30,039 Speaker 2: Is why they continue to have him I'd say uncharacteristic. 141 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 2: Mar has made big plays for us this season, last season, 142 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:38,360 Speaker 2: He's been an important part to what we do, so 143 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 2: it's he'll continue to work. 144 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,479 Speaker 6: He's dealing with the early season struggle. 145 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, he wants to contribute, wants to contribute to winning football, 146 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 2: you know, being part of a big part of what 147 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:55,040 Speaker 2: we do offensively. So obviously you're disappointed when a result 148 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:56,480 Speaker 2: doesn't go your way. 149 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,360 Speaker 3: But he's committed to getting better. 150 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 7: Do you see said getting more involved in Nick? He 151 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,920 Speaker 7: did not have a target in that game, and James 152 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:07,719 Speaker 7: did what what's kind of going on with said? 153 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, I would not Again, it's early in the season 154 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 2: and in these games game to game, I wouldn't over 155 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 2: value or look into targets at this point. There's so 156 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 2: many things we can do better and we think highly 157 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 2: have said as a player. 158 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 3: So he's somebody that will help us. 159 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,240 Speaker 11: But nahe and Nick, they've been doing so much of 160 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,360 Speaker 11: this rehab together as their coach, how have you seen 161 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 11: them kind of push each other to get to this 162 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 11: point in this natural progression? 163 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 3: Yea, And they've been together quite a bit. 164 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 2: They're pushing each other in the training room, in the 165 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 2: meeting room, I think both guys are really really excited 166 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 2: to be practicing again, because that's that's hard when you're 167 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 2: a player and you don't have a helmet on and 168 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 2: you're off to the side and you can't participate in 169 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 2: a walkthrough just yet. So I think that's a big 170 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 2: part of the Seas guys being able to participate even 171 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 2: in a walkthrough and then out of practice as well. 172 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 9: Kill When you look at the Washington's defense, what's teams 173 00:07:58,800 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 9: out kind? 174 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 11: When did I this is for you guys? 175 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, they're playing at a high level, a very very 176 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 2: aggressive front. The two guys insiders as good as any 177 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 2: two guys that anybody has, so present a huge challenge. 178 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 2: Bobby Wagner down the middle, still doing it at a 179 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 2: high level. Just good players play, physical, play aggressive. About 180 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 2: how good teams and coach led by their coaches. 181 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 6: Put great teams or sort of players player led? How 182 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:28,840 Speaker 6: do you guys or how have you kind of created 183 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 6: a culture. 184 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 2: Where that player driven element of it is is encouraged 185 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 2: and if we're it's something you guys. 186 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 3: Do, something we've talked about. 187 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 2: I mean, everybody who's been on teams know how important 188 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:44,840 Speaker 2: it is that peer to peer relationship, pushing each other, 189 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 2: It just it means a lot when it comes from 190 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 2: your teammates. So we're very fortunate to have a group 191 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,680 Speaker 2: here that pushes each other, that leans on each other, 192 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 2: that holds each other accountable, and we as coaches do 193 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,320 Speaker 2: our job to empower them to do that. 194 00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 3: But that's great teams. 195 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 2: You know that the ability for players to hold each 196 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 2: other accountable is really really powerful. 197 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 9: Where even though what one and three starts is todd 198 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 9: you've seen guys embrace those rules of leadership and sort 199 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 9: of try to, you know, fix. 200 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 3: Things room forward again. 201 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:19,320 Speaker 2: Attitude is so important in this and focusing on really 202 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 2: the small things, doing your job on on throughout the 203 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 2: week so you can do your job on Sunday. 204 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:26,439 Speaker 3: Really, that's where the guys have done a great job. 205 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 13: Called a coach that in on that when you know 206 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:30,240 Speaker 13: players might. 207 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 6: Not be leading in the right. 208 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:37,080 Speaker 2: Way, Well, I'd say as coaches, we are constantly, you know, 209 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 2: at the helm of this thing and in charge and 210 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:44,439 Speaker 2: also responsible for all of it. So I think it's 211 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,240 Speaker 2: important to empower your players to do that. And I 212 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,560 Speaker 2: think where we're very fortunate we have a bunch of 213 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 2: guys offense, defense, older younger that that make sure that 214 00:09:54,880 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 2: they are both vocal and sometimes doing their job is 215 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,600 Speaker 2: just enough of a form of leadership as opposed to 216 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 2: not everybody's gonna be your raw, raw type of guy. 217 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 2: But having guys that do their job, I think sets 218 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,079 Speaker 2: a great precedent for younger guys as well. 219 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 7: Kearny Jerry mentioned the other day on the conference called 220 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 7: It Wore You at the Camp that he had to 221 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,680 Speaker 7: miss a few reps because of his conditioning. He's gonna 222 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,320 Speaker 7: work harder on that. Can you attribute that perhaps to 223 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 7: the fact that he like missed most of the off 224 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:28,200 Speaker 7: season and a lot of preseason with his knee injury. 225 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 3: That's a good question, MARKA. 226 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 2: I think he's in I mean, he's he's in plenty 227 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,440 Speaker 2: of good football shape. Of course, there's gonna be plays 228 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 2: when you're you know, I think back to the play 229 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 2: that came back the eighty two yard er. The guys 230 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,320 Speaker 2: retired and needed a blow. So you're gonna need a 231 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,679 Speaker 2: break here and there. But he's he's always going to 232 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,480 Speaker 2: continue to put himself in a position to be able 233 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 2: to stay on the field. 234 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:53,199 Speaker 4: Kevin Terry mclauren, it seems like maybe one of the 235 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 4: most underrated, underappreciated by me. Well, I mean outside of 236 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,720 Speaker 4: maybe you know, coaches, tea just I mean, what makes 237 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:03,680 Speaker 4: him so special? 238 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,960 Speaker 3: He has always done it at a high level. 239 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,959 Speaker 2: And you watch him and how he moves and how 240 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,720 Speaker 2: he comes out of cuts, and he's always from a 241 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 2: from my perspective, it looks like he's always where he's 242 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 2: supposed to be when he's supposed to be there. Uh 243 00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:20,720 Speaker 2: So that's very friendly to the quarterback. Really a great 244 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 2: combination of quickness, speed, separate, ability to separate, and then 245 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 2: great hands. 246 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 6: Joku is just so good in the uh you know, 247 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 6: blocking game. We talked about it over the years. Just 248 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,200 Speaker 6: how much did losing. 249 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:40,800 Speaker 9: Him the last couple of weeks, maybe you know, hamper 250 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,200 Speaker 9: some of the things that you might have tried to 251 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,840 Speaker 9: do to to give the offensive line of what winst help. 252 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:49,600 Speaker 3: Dave's a big part of our offense. 253 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 2: But with him out, it's it's incumbent on us as 254 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 2: coaches and our players to step up and perform. 255 00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 3: So I wouldn't I just think we need. 256 00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 2: To play better, certainly offensetively, and if Dave can make 257 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 2: it back, that'll be you know, he'll be welcome back 258 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 2: because of the you know, he's a high caliber player. 259 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,720 Speaker 13: These last couple of weeks are been mistakes with multiple 260 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 13: cheap pieces on this team. 261 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:12,679 Speaker 6: So how is you how are you as a coaching. 262 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:16,440 Speaker 13: Staff kind of attacking that going into this head of 263 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:16,720 Speaker 13: the week. 264 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:20,120 Speaker 2: I think it's so important and we talked about that 265 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,319 Speaker 2: some this morning, as in order to do your job 266 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,440 Speaker 2: on Sunday, you just have to make sure you're ultra 267 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,679 Speaker 2: prepared Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.

So that's always been me. 325 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,280 Speaker 15: If I need to credit something, then I'm a credit 326 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:55,760 Speaker 15: And that's just how it kind of always went. 327 00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:58,600 Speaker 5: If one and three you don't feel like an extra 328 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 5: need to take, maybe do someth the actually because you 329 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:02,680 Speaker 5: guys are having struggles. 330 00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 15: No, I mean we know what the the struggles are 331 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:10,040 Speaker 15: and that's just self afflicted offensively self penalties that's costing us. 332 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 15: Not the continue drives and you know, I can't speak 333 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:17,560 Speaker 15: defensively and I can't speak special teams, but offensively, you know, 334 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 15: just holding penalties and things like that, misalignments, things like that, 335 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,560 Speaker 15: that just causing us for us to not be as 336 00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:27,920 Speaker 15: explosives of be as we want to. 337 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,160 Speaker 6: Just trying to talking about some of the solving pointment stuff. 338 00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:31,440 Speaker 6: How much do you think that's. 339 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 11: A factor on third down right now? And the low 340 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:36,640 Speaker 11: rate you guys have on converting. 341 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 7: Third downs right now? 342 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 15: Uh, I mean the third downs percentages. It starts with 343 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:42,520 Speaker 15: the first and second down. We gotta put ourselves so 344 00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 15: manageable for for uh third downs before we can you know, 345 00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 15: speak on it. So the more you know the distance 346 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,720 Speaker 15: increasing third down, the lower the percentage you get it 347 00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:55,080 Speaker 15: for anybody to uh capitalize on. So I think the 348 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 15: biggest thing is just really just being more locked in 349 00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 15: on first and second down so we can get ourselves 350 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:03,560 Speaker 15: a position create opportunities for us to create, you know, 351 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:05,320 Speaker 15: be positive on those third downs. 352 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:09,080 Speaker 8: First out, what seemed to be the easiest play call 353 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 8: of a series, and you guys. 354 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,400 Speaker 10: Are like three point two yards per first down. 355 00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:16,840 Speaker 3: What's going on the first time? 356 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,040 Speaker 15: I don't know, I man, that's a Kevin question, so 357 00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,080 Speaker 15: you know you you gotta talk with the coordinators on that. 358 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,080 Speaker 15: On that part, I'm just asked cuing, what do we 359 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:28,400 Speaker 15: what is there whatever it's called if if people think 360 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,120 Speaker 15: it's easier on first down, I think every down is hard. 361 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,760 Speaker 15: It's the NFL, So you know, it just depends on 362 00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 15: what the defense is is doing. 363 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,840 Speaker 10: Seem like most of the UH self inflicted FUMA leagues 364 00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:39,760 Speaker 10: around first down. 365 00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:42,520 Speaker 16: I don't I don't know. I'm I don't know the 366 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 16: percentage should you. 367 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:47,320 Speaker 7: See on a dive?

And do you feel like 370 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 7: this team could use another premier wide. 371 00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:57,200 Speaker 6: Out like that and fighting team. 372 00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,360 Speaker 15: Nah, I'm locked in on my my guys that I 373 00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:02,480 Speaker 15: have in this locker room now, so I don't get 374 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:04,800 Speaker 15: into the trade talks or things like that. 375 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:05,840 Speaker 16: Are trying to add guys. 376 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,880 Speaker 15: I'm trying to focus on the execution the game plan 377 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,480 Speaker 15: so we can be productive on Sunday against the Commanders. 378 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,159 Speaker 15: All that is for AB in the front office. 379 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:15,920 Speaker 12: How do you feel about Chubb being how. 380 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:19,520 Speaker 15: To feel again, Uh, it'd be good to have his presences, 381 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:23,960 Speaker 15: his attitude, his mentality out there to help us and 382 00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 15: we'll see how it goes. Hopefully, you know, it's sooner 383 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:30,000 Speaker 15: than later. But yeah, we're all super excited for Chubb 384 00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:31,880 Speaker 15: to be back and and just him to be back 385 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:34,359 Speaker 15: on the field is is definitely awesome to Seanna. 386 00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:36,960 Speaker 9: Do you guys begin preparing to the commanders, what's teams 387 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:40,159 Speaker 9: out about their defense that presents you challenges and the 388 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:40,880 Speaker 9: offense a hole. 389 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 16: Uh, yeah, you gotta give their defense credit. 390 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:47,120 Speaker 15: They're playing at a high level doing exactly what they're 391 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,800 Speaker 15: asking to do in that scheme. You know, the front. 392 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:55,200 Speaker 15: The front is definitely very aggressive, very impressive. I mean 393 00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:59,200 Speaker 15: everyone knows about Pain and and Jonathan and Fouler and 394 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,040 Speaker 15: Pharaoh whenever he's healthy. And you got Wagoner who's a 395 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:07,399 Speaker 15: vet who's controlling the middle, and then you got a 396 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:09,880 Speaker 15: nice young secondary that are playing at a high level, 397 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:11,760 Speaker 15: so you can tell that they're playing confident. We've got 398 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:13,399 Speaker 15: to make sure were locked in on our test so 399 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:16,080 Speaker 15: we can try to, you know, create anything positive and 400 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:17,000 Speaker 15: get points on the board. 401 00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:18,919 Speaker 16: So Sean, you guys have been very good on your 402 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:20,080 Speaker 16: first scripted. 403 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:23,320 Speaker 13: Drive from the game on offense, but it seems like 404 00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:28,520 Speaker 13: there's just a rapid decline in mentality and game playing 405 00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:29,159 Speaker 13: right after that. 406 00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:30,639 Speaker 12: What do you attribute that to? 407 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,920 Speaker 15: First off, I don't think the mentality changes or anything 408 00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:38,440 Speaker 15: like that. You know, people got to make adjustments. Not 409 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:41,280 Speaker 15: every drive is gonna be positive and go end up 410 00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,800 Speaker 15: in points. That's what we hope for, but you know 411 00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:46,359 Speaker 15: it's hard to do in the NFL. So uh, yeah, 412 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,480 Speaker 15: the first drive we start off fast. We just got 413 00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:51,120 Speaker 15: to continue to keep pushing forward and doing what we're 414 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:54,679 Speaker 15: doing and build off that confidence in that momentum that 415 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 15: we have on that first drive, and if we cann 416 00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:58,919 Speaker 15: do we can do that, then we can create some 417 00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,879 Speaker 15: more positive tavity on the offense and and more points. 418 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:05,399 Speaker 15: So that's that we just gotta continue to plage and 419 00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:08,520 Speaker 15: every every drive like it's you know, that final drive 420 00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:09,560 Speaker 15: that we need some points. 421 00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,160 Speaker 8: So well, obviously you won't go over against him directly, 422 00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:16,600 Speaker 8: but obviously Musban said about Jane Daniels and then the 423 00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,120 Speaker 8: start to his rookie campaigns, what he's doing. 424 00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:21,320 Speaker 6: Just what do you notice about his game that's kind 425 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:21,919 Speaker 6: of impressed you? 426 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 15: From more quarterback to another, Yeah, I mean he's you 427 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:26,880 Speaker 15: can tell when he steps on the field he's confident 428 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:28,919 Speaker 15: in what they're running, he's confident with the guys that 429 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:32,359 Speaker 15: he have around, and he's playing free. Uh, super super 430 00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:35,520 Speaker 15: exciting guy to watch. I mean ever since. Really, I 431 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,120 Speaker 15: I've known him since high school. We trained a little 432 00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 15: bit when he was out in Arizona at Arizona State 433 00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:44,480 Speaker 15: and when he went to Arizona State, then he went 434 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,240 Speaker 15: there LSU, So you know we have we have history. 435 00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:51,560 Speaker 15: And he's definitely having a a start to a great 436 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:55,160 Speaker 15: campaign for his NFL career. So playing at a high level, 437 00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:57,720 Speaker 15: he's got those those guys rolling and every you can 438 00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 15: tell that the team is supporting them in behind him. 439 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:02,760 Speaker 11: After you know, you had that one season and you 440 00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:05,240 Speaker 11: can got started one and three went on the role 441 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:07,480 Speaker 11: like what did you learn? I guess by going through that, 442 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 11: and do you see I guess the similar capability in 443 00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:12,240 Speaker 11: the state it now to pull off the run after. 444 00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:13,040 Speaker 12: The slow starts. 445 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:17,679 Speaker 15: No, I mean, I don't try to Every year is different, 446 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 15: every team is different, so I don't. I don't try 447 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:24,560 Speaker 15: to look back on anything back in Houston or previous years. 448 00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:26,280 Speaker 15: You know, I leave that to the media and things 449 00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:28,720 Speaker 15: like that to you guys. But for me, for this year, 450 00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:30,360 Speaker 15: we just got to continue to take it one week 451 00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:33,160 Speaker 15: at a time. The games are there, the opportunities are there, 452 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:35,880 Speaker 15: we got to capitalize on them. So, you know, September 453 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:38,800 Speaker 15: football is done. But each and every time, you know, 454 00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:41,480 Speaker 15: we get through a month, October's gonna be a big 455 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:43,360 Speaker 15: task for us to be able to get back on that, 456 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,880 Speaker 15: you know, even balance on the win chart and then 457 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,359 Speaker 15: you know, get ready for November December. But we gotta 458 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:51,200 Speaker 15: take it one week at a time and focus on 459 00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:53,960 Speaker 15: this game and trying to get on that win chart 460 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 15: so we can build off that momentum. 461 00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:57,520 Speaker 17: I know in the spring you talked about, you know, 462 00:20:57,680 --> 00:20:59,480 Speaker 17: just the time and getting the reps back, you know, 463 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:01,120 Speaker 17: because of all the time to dreams because of injury 464 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 17: and whatnot. Through these first four games, you know, how 465 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:05,480 Speaker 17: has that time kind of helped you get in what 466 00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 17: ways have you gotten more comfortable you know with these 467 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:09,439 Speaker 17: you know, through these first four games. 468 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,120 Speaker 15: Uh, just being able to see things, just being able 469 00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:14,880 Speaker 15: to operate, just being just playing football. I think that's 470 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 15: the biggest thing. Just playing football, getting active, acclimated to 471 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:20,600 Speaker 15: speed of the game and how people are going to 472 00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,240 Speaker 15: defend us and try to defend me. So I think 473 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 15: that's the biggest thing.

And if everybody 647 00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:23,080 Speaker 7: does that, then you guys will be able to get 648 00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:24,040 Speaker 7: back on track easier. 649 00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:26,879 Speaker 15: I mean, yeah, I mean if we at the end 650 00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:28,320 Speaker 15: of that I g I get what you're saying. But 651 00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:30,600 Speaker 15: if we capitalize on that fourth down play and we scored, 652 00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:32,880 Speaker 15: we wouldn't be having these conversations, you know what I'm saying. 653 00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:37,040 Speaker 15: So that's where it's kind of like it it's you 654 00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:39,440 Speaker 15: can play on one side of the line and play 655 00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:41,720 Speaker 15: on the other side. I mean, yeah, we each and 656 00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:43,560 Speaker 15: every week we gotta find ways to get better. 657 00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:44,840 Speaker 16: We gotta find ways what we're. 658 00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:47,959 Speaker 15: Gonna do extra to get over that that hump whatever 659 00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,280 Speaker 15: he is. We could be sitting here three on one 660 00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:52,720 Speaker 15: and none of these when the questions wouldn't be the same, 661 00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:55,720 Speaker 15: but we can have the same type of uh, you 662 00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:58,520 Speaker 15: know things that's kind of leaking around, you know, so 663 00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:01,240 Speaker 15: you know, you just got to be real with yourself, 664 00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:03,360 Speaker 15: real with the team, and that's what we've been doing 665 00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:05,520 Speaker 15: each and other week, not just because we've been coming 666 00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:08,160 Speaker 15: up short. It's just that's how the great teams do 667 00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:11,120 Speaker 15: and once you figure it out, you build that confidence. 668 00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:13,640 Speaker 15: All you need is one win to start a streak 669 00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:17,040 Speaker 15: and you never know what can happen in. 670 00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:20,239 Speaker 9: Basketball is like the cliche whether you guys slumping, ah, 671 00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:22,520 Speaker 9: sometimes it just takes seeing involved with through the group 672 00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:24,920 Speaker 9: and they can't get in the realm. So to relate 673 00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:27,320 Speaker 9: that back to you, guys one and three, things that 674 00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:28,000 Speaker 9: are going your way. 675 00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:32,120 Speaker 7: But what can one win you know this weekend?

He absolutely you know, does 789 00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:30,080 Speaker 19: a good job and and not hurrying up uh and 790 00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:31,360 Speaker 19: not you know, making those mistakes. 791 00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:32,960 Speaker 12: Obviously number one completion rate. 792 00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:35,279 Speaker 19: Uh, So he's not like forcing things, right, He's a 793 00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:36,959 Speaker 19: he's a guy that you know, take the check down 794 00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:39,719 Speaker 19: and just chipping down you into til you get tired, 795 00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:42,120 Speaker 19: take the free access and you know does this, you know, 796 00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:42,719 Speaker 19: it does his thing. 797 00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:46,319 Speaker 9: So that high complition percentage your reference of how much 798 00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:51,000 Speaker 9: more pressure does that now put on you and the secondary? 799 00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:52,320 Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean it's a lot more pressure. 800 00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:53,560 Speaker 19: I think that, you know, when it comes to a 801 00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:56,000 Speaker 19: quarterback that's accurate and completion and that's not trying to 802 00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:58,120 Speaker 19: you know, do things out of the ordinary from this 803 00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:00,560 Speaker 19: game plan, obviously, you know, it's then that we have 804 00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:02,719 Speaker 19: to crank our pressure up and find a way, uh 805 00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:05,080 Speaker 19: to disrupt that because the obviously he he a little 806 00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:07,600 Speaker 19: bit too comfortable back there so, uh, we have to 807 00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:09,240 Speaker 19: find a way to combat that yet. 808 00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:11,399 Speaker 9: Yeah, and obviously the run game is a big part 809 00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:13,319 Speaker 9: of their offense, and Daniel's is a big part of that, 810 00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:14,960 Speaker 9: but also Robinson and that Gler. 811 00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:16,280 Speaker 6: So if you think what stands. 812 00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:18,000 Speaker 12: Up about what they're doing, Yeah, I mean it's a 813 00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:18,880 Speaker 12: it's a collaboration. 814 00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:20,759 Speaker 19: I think that Eckler obviously has been a a good 815 00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:23,719 Speaker 19: running back for a long time. Uh, it's good on contact. 816 00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:25,879 Speaker 19: You know, he's able to run great routes and it's 817 00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:27,759 Speaker 19: been a force and in the past game and so 818 00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:29,800 Speaker 19: then when you have a running back that's that agile 819 00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:32,160 Speaker 19: and then number eight, he's also a guy that you know, 820 00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:33,680 Speaker 19: is a little bit bigger and you know, can run 821 00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:35,880 Speaker 19: through tackles and it's a very physical running back. And 822 00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:38,120 Speaker 19: obviously we're trying to find a u a place where 823 00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:40,879 Speaker 19: we're stopping to run uh consistently, and that's where we're 824 00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:42,960 Speaker 19: we'll focus on as well. But we also want to 825 00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:46,360 Speaker 19: uh focus on the coll collective uh Washington offense. 826 00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:50,040 Speaker 6: So, d do you see similarities between Jaydon and Lamar? 827 00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:54,879 Speaker 19: And I asked, yeah, yeah, for me, I mean I'm 828 00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:56,319 Speaker 19: in my Lamar mindset right now. 829 00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:59,440 Speaker 12: So but Uh, you know, I would say that there's. 830 00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:02,080 Speaker 19: A little bits of similarities. You know, you know Jay 831 00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:04,200 Speaker 19: he's a little bit bigger, you know, a little bit taller. 832 00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:06,400 Speaker 19: You know, he's kind of light with the more you know, 833 00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:11,279 Speaker 19: kind of like s you know. Yeah, Lamar's like yeah, 834 00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:13,040 Speaker 19: and uh but no, you you do see a little 835 00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:16,799 Speaker 19: bit of similarities obviously, Uh, Lamar's you know, pro bo 836 00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:19,120 Speaker 19: or pro cut type of quarterback. But uh, you know, 837 00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:21,640 Speaker 19: he'll he'll get there eventually, I think, you know, just 838 00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:24,200 Speaker 19: looking at him, watching him, watching Washington and kind of 839 00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:26,919 Speaker 19: like you know, progress as a football team, I'm sure 840 00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:27,920 Speaker 19: that he'll get there one day. 841 00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:30,440 Speaker 12: But yeah, there are similarities some who does it? 842 00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:32,759 Speaker 2: So does it help you to because you face them 843 00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:34,759 Speaker 2: more than twice a year, you know, at least sort 844 00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:35,759 Speaker 2: of have an idea. 845 00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:36,960 Speaker 12: Of Yeah, I think I think it does help. 846 00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:38,640 Speaker 19: I think we we are a little bit more familiar 847 00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:42,239 Speaker 19: with that kind of uh RPO type of mentality operio style. 848 00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:43,520 Speaker 12: I think it doesn't help a little bit. 849 00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:45,640 Speaker 14: How much when when the quarterback us that plus one 850 00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:47,720 Speaker 14: in the run game, how much extra stress? 851 00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:50,600 Speaker 12: I mean, can you quantify how much extra stress that? Well? 852 00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:52,360 Speaker 19: I mean, I I mean it's it's pressure, but I 853 00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:55,080 Speaker 19: don't think it's necessarily extra you know, uh distress. 854 00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:57,799 Speaker 12: Yeah, maybe a little stress, but not distress. Yeah. 855 00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:00,400 Speaker 19: So I think, you know, when it comes to that RPO, 856 00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:03,400 Speaker 19: that kind of like running game that he has, obviously 857 00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:05,080 Speaker 19: we're a little bit more familiar with it, so it's 858 00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:07,240 Speaker 19: not something that we're like. 859 00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:08,640 Speaker 12: Uh, man, it's gonna be hell right. 860 00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:10,400 Speaker 19: I think we we've done it for so long, at 861 00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:12,040 Speaker 19: least for me, I mean having here for four years. 862 00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:12,480 Speaker 12: Yeah. 863 00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:16,359 Speaker 19: Uh, we're going into my fourth year and uh, you know, yeah. 864 00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:21,800 Speaker 9: Jeremonia miss tackles last week uncharacteristic for you guys collectively, 865 00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:24,920 Speaker 9: so not just yeah, what do you think happened there? 866 00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:26,920 Speaker 9: And and what do you do this week to make 867 00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:29,959 Speaker 9: sure you guys are back to being one point? 868 00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:30,560 Speaker 12: Yeah? 869 00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:32,399 Speaker 19: Uh for that, I think that, you know, it's about 870 00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:35,160 Speaker 19: our technique. Me specifically, it's about my technique. It's about 871 00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:37,560 Speaker 19: my fundamentals and make sure I'm running my feet, you know, 872 00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:39,640 Speaker 19: even when I beat the tackle, you know, not a 873 00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:41,560 Speaker 19: or you know, be a guard or whatever. It may 874 00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:43,719 Speaker 19: look like, I gotta not lunch and I have to 875 00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:45,920 Speaker 19: run my feet through the tackles, and uh, A lot 876 00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:47,520 Speaker 19: of that you know, obviously, you know, we have to 877 00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:49,879 Speaker 19: be prepared for those situations, right you know, we wanna 878 00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:52,160 Speaker 19: get off the field, you know, so maybe we're not 879 00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:53,920 Speaker 19: in those situations where we have to deal with that. 880 00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:54,440 Speaker 16: Uh. 881 00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:56,960 Speaker 19: So there's the uh you know a lot of calls 882 00:37:57,280 --> 00:37:59,040 Speaker 19: and to the effect that you guys are seeing. But 883 00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:01,560 Speaker 19: we have to find ways to collect correct those things. 884 00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:04,640 Speaker 19: And obviously we have another opportunity to show improved Uh 885 00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:05,840 Speaker 19: here Sunday. 886 00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:07,759 Speaker 9: One in three is obviously not where you guys thought 887 00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:10,520 Speaker 9: you'd be or wanna be at this point. Yeah, what's 888 00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:14,200 Speaker 9: the mindset right now? You know, fro I know you're 889 00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:17,440 Speaker 9: not focused on outside outside looking in. It's you know, 890 00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:19,879 Speaker 9: that was the easy part of the schedule. The room 891 00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:22,600 Speaker 9: gets more difficult is you go deeper into the seasons 892 00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:24,040 Speaker 9: just where you guys. 893 00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:26,359 Speaker 19: At right now, Well, where there's a location where we 894 00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:28,279 Speaker 19: say that this is the next game up. I mean, 895 00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:30,799 Speaker 19: we can't really do anything about the one and three, uh, 896 00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:32,720 Speaker 19: but what we can do is look at our schedule 897 00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:35,040 Speaker 19: and say, well we have a opportunity here to uh 898 00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:38,239 Speaker 19: go fourteen and three right m or whatever?
