1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,920
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you about UM your red zone

2
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:08,360
Speaker 1: offense and UM run versus path And I know there

3
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 1: are a lot of things that go into them, the

4
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 1: decision as to when to do one or the other.

5
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 1: But its like especially lately, UM, when closer to the

6
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:20,639
Speaker 1: goal line five yards and then you guys, you guys

7
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 1: have been willing to throw it more than run. It

8
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 1: is that based on look that you're getting from defenses?

9
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 1: Is it based on what you think your team is

10
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:32,960
Speaker 1: good at it this time? I'm just curious as to UM,

11
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 1: what is what it led to some of those decisions

12
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 1: of late to pass a little bit more down there? Yeah,

13
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's Uh. I think it's always a

14
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 1: function of the way you get played and what you

15
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:53,159
Speaker 1: have confidence in and you know and and to me, Um,

16
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 1: there's times where we go into a situation where we

17
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,279
Speaker 1: have more than one call available to us and we're

18
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: trying to get to the best one. There's times where

19
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 1: we just go ahead and make a call and live

20
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 1: with it. Uh. And then there's certainly situations like the

21
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 1: other night, where you get in a third and goal

22
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 1: situation and you know you're most likely going to throw

23
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:15,399
Speaker 1: in those scenarios regardless of what the defense does. But um,

24
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 1: you know it, Look, it's my responsibility to to put

25
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:23,320
Speaker 1: us in good positions to be successful down there, and um,

26
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 1: you know, and and I want to make sure I

27
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 1: do the best job I can to give our guys

28
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: the best chance to score, because that's ultimately the reason

29
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,400
Speaker 1: why we're on the field. So, um, you know, the

30
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,320
Speaker 1: other night, I thought, you know, Houston made a good

31
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: play on the first the first drive down in there

32
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: in the red zone. We ran the ball, I want

33
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: to say it was maybe first and goal at the seven,

34
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: and you know, the safety tackled us, you know, near

35
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. He was in the backfield. And

36
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: and that's the way we were getting played, Um you

37
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: know quite quite honestly down there, you know, against them

38
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 1: and and and a few other teams the last so

39
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: many weeks here, you know where they're they're trying to

40
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 1: make it difficult, trying to force you to do something, um,

41
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 1: you know, be one dimensional. And but we still have

42
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: to find ways to be able to stay balanced, run

43
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 1: it in if we're if we're doing well in the

44
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 1: running game, which we were on that first drive, and

45
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:18,239
Speaker 1: and try to try to find a way to get

46
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: it in on the ground if we can, and then

47
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 1: and also at the same time be productive throwing a

48
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: ball too. So I know we had a couple uh

49
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 1: situations down there in the game where we were behind,

50
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: and you know you're throwing a little bit more than

51
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 1: running in those scenarios normally anyway, But our goal has

52
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 1: always tried to be as efficient as we can be

53
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: and do the thing that gives us the best chance

54
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 1: to have success. And I certainly am not opposed to

55
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: be in more run and pass or more pass and

56
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 1: run if it's going to be successful for our team.

57
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: So I got to do a better job of trying

58
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 1: to find the right answers each week and put our

59
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 1: guys in the right position, and hopefully we can go

60
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: out there and execute well and get it in the

61
00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 1: end zone each time we're down there. Yeah, yep. Next

62
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:07,080
Speaker 1: question Mike Tiorady falled by Evan Lazar read Mike Josh,

63
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,679
Speaker 1: good morning. You often talk about you as a group

64
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 1: of the coaching staff, talk about you know, doing things

65
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: that you do well well. I'm wondering now, after thirteen

66
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 1: weeks of ten and two record, if you feel like

67
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 1: offensively you have enough things that you do well to

68
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: be the kind of offense you want to be. I

69
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 1: think there's a lot of things that you could you

70
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 1: could look at that you could say, you know, we

71
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: can improve on. Certainly, that's the that's the truth. I

72
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: think It's been the truth most seasons that I've ever coached. Um,

73
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: you know, but at the end of the day, Um,

74
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: there are certain things that we have to do well

75
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: in order to give our team the best chance to

76
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 1: be successful, some of which we've done decent throughout the

77
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: course of the year, and some of which we certainly

78
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 1: need to do better. But taking care of the football

79
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: has historical we've been a thing we've done, you know well,

80
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: and certainly as a big factor and winning and losing

81
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 1: the other night, you know, the one turnover seemed to

82
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: really flop the game a little bit there in the

83
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 1: first half. M you know, but we we we've done

84
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: that decent and we have to continue to do that well. Certainly,

85
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,039
Speaker 1: that's going to be a huge factor in this game

86
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: this week against Kansas City. UM, you know, protecting the

87
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,039
Speaker 1: quarterback and not going backwards in the running game and

88
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 1: trying to stay out of long yard and situations to

89
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: improve your chances on third down, which you know, there

90
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: were times the other day where we were pretty good

91
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,159
Speaker 1: in that area. You know, we've tried to keep it

92
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: in third and manageable and and actually converted you know,

93
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: a decent chunk of third downs the other day too.

94
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 1: But um, you know, I think the bottom line is,

95
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 1: as you you have to you have to feel like

96
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 1: that you have an opportunity to improve in each area

97
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: at practice each week, and each week's a new challenge.

98
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: And we certainly want to try to take care of

99
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: the ball. We certainly want to try to keep the

100
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: ball moving forward. We certainly want to improve on third

101
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,159
Speaker 1: in the red zone, two minute offense, those situational plays.

102
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: It can certainly change the outcome of a drive or

103
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 1: you know, or a quarter or a half or the game.

104
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 1: And like I said, I think I start with me.

105
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: I can do a better job of trying to do that,

106
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: and that's what my focus is on, and hopefully we

107
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: can we can make some strides and improve in a

108
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 1: lot of areas this week as well. Thank you, Josh Yepazar,

109
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 1: followed by Mike the Track, Hey Josh, how are you

110
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 1: doing great? How are you out? I'm doing good? I

111
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 1: wanted to ask you about the running game. Over the

112
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 1: last two weeks, you guys have been able to break

113
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 1: off some longer runs. I was just curious what you

114
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 1: think has led to that, and also what Isaiah's return

115
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:51,600
Speaker 1: has meant to the line in that respect too. Yeah,

116
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 1: I think you know, the running game is never one thing.

117
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: You can never just count on one person to make

118
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 1: that go. It's really a team play, um. You know,

119
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: each time you call a run play and need a

120
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: lot of people to do their job pretty well, need

121
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: to be physical, um. And it includes the receivers, the

122
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 1: tight ends and the line, the back um you know,

123
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 1: doing doing things right. And we work really hard, um

124
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 1: each week on that area of our team because we

125
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,359
Speaker 1: know how important it is, especially here in New England

126
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: as we get you know, closer to the end of

127
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: the year and we're playing in December and weather's going

128
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,280
Speaker 1: to be a factor and those types of things and um,

129
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: you know. So I think, you know, all in all,

130
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,359
Speaker 1: I think our guys have, um, you know, done a

131
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 1: pretty good job of being diligent about their assignments, UM

132
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 1: trying to play physical. I think we're getting more, um

133
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,599
Speaker 1: you know, there there's more repetitions with you know, Matt

134
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 1: Lacosse and Ben Watson and the tackles, and um, the

135
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,359
Speaker 1: guys inside and Teddy Carriss has played now for a

136
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 1: number of months, and um Isaiah's back, and you know,

137
00:06:54,960 --> 00:07:00,159
Speaker 1: timing and combination blocks, double teams, um, those things are

138
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 1: are things that improve with you know, with practice, repetition

139
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,679
Speaker 1: and good habits, and so I think, you know, hopefully

140
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 1: our best football in every phase is in front of us.

141
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: But I feel like we've made some progress in the

142
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: running game and we need to continue to do that

143
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 1: as we head into the last four games of our season.

144
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 1: Thanks Jeff, Thank you. We'll do a three final questions here.

145
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 1: We're going to start with Mike Petracker and fall by

146
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 1: Nicko Malley. Thanks Stacy. Good morning, Josh. I wanted to

147
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 1: ask you about Good morning, young Good morning. I wanted

148
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: to ask you about the young receivers getting on the

149
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 1: same page with Tom Brady and I think a lot

150
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 1: of us on the outside as soon that by this

151
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: point in the season, it's going to be more instinctive

152
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: than anything else, and maybe that's not right. I'm curious,

153
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 1: what do you try to do to try and bring

154
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 1: Tom and the receivers together and maybe make it easier

155
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 1: for both to be more productive. Well, I don't think

156
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 1: there's any shortcut to um, you know, being on the

157
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 1: same page. UM, you know, in terms of you know, anticipating,

158
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: you know, what the other person is thinking, feeling and seeing,

159
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 1: um you know, and UM a lot is made of

160
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 1: you know, UM, you know, somebody thinking one thing and

161
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 1: somebody else thinking something else. And UM, I think there's

162
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: a lot of things that there's a lot of factors

163
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 1: in the passing game that that would determine, UM, being

164
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 1: on the same what being on the same page really means.

165
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: But practice repetition, there's no shortcut to it, you know.

166
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 1: So every rep we take in practice, every pass we throw,

167
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:48,439
Speaker 1: every side session that we're we're able to take part in, UM,

168
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 1: every conversation, every one on one drill that we do

169
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: in practice, every film session that we're in. UM, it

170
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 1: just continues to try to build off of the last one.

171
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 1: And UM, you know, I think patience is something that

172
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,439
Speaker 1: you know, UM, I know, I know everybody wants everything

173
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: to be um, you know, a finished product, and and

174
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 1: you know we do too, But at the same time,

175
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 1: you have to understand there's going to be a process,

176
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 1: and we're going to try to stick to it. Um.

177
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 1: We have to be committed to it, and we know

178
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 1: that it's productive when it when we when we stay

179
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 1: the course and continue to coach the right things and

180
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 1: and fix the right things, and then the players go

181
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,439
Speaker 1: out and make corrections and then they have success with it.

182
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: And once they make the corrections and have success with it,

183
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,680
Speaker 1: then they gain confidence in it and they start to

184
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 1: trust each other more. And there's no shortcut to that. So, UM,

185
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 1: I think our guys are trying really hard. I have

186
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 1: absolutely zero issue with our effort and the desire to

187
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 1: do it right. Um. And I think that that's what

188
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 1: everybody's working towards. UM. I love the attitude that our

189
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 1: guy's take into each practice and each opportunity to get better,

190
00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,439
Speaker 1: and each game is the same way. You know, we

191
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,839
Speaker 1: go into the game, we do some things well, we

192
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: do some things we have to fix and try to

193
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 1: learn from, and hopefully we can do those better the

194
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 1: next week. And that's football. Football is an imperfect game,

195
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: So hopefully we're trying to make those corrections and make

196
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:14,839
Speaker 1: strides each week. I know our players are working their

197
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,679
Speaker 1: butt off to try to do that. And I know

198
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: that the quarterbacks and the receivers, quarterbacks and the tight ends,

199
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 1: quarterbacks and running backs. Again, there's a lot that goes

200
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:28,559
Speaker 1: into you know, being productive in those areas, timing, anticipation,

201
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 1: reading things the same way, adjusting if you need to.

202
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 1: And like I said, a lot of a lot of

203
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,599
Speaker 1: things are improved through repetition and practice. And if we

204
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 1: can if we can create good habits and you know,

205
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: have those experiences that we can build on, then I

206
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 1: think we'll be better for it down in a row.

207
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 1: But everybody's looking for the same thing. Everybody wants the

208
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 1: same goal at the end of the day, is for

209
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 1: us to be the most productive we can be and

210
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:54,320
Speaker 1: the most efficient we can be in the passing game.

211
00:10:56,040 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 1: Thanks at Josh yep Our next question, Nicko Malley falled

212
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:06,439
Speaker 1: by Mike Rief morning, Josh, Good morning, Nick. I want

213
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 1: to ask you a broader question about an offensive play calling.

214
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:15,319
Speaker 1: When you are calling and play on offense, we at

215
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 1: home sort of kind of feeling the Madden video games

216
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:21,199
Speaker 1: where with the press of a button, who say, oh,

217
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,839
Speaker 1: we pray, we call four births or something like that,

218
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 1: and by magic, it's transmitted. The offensive they're lining up.

219
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,719
Speaker 1: I wanted to know how early in the process do

220
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 1: you need to figure out what player you're going to call?

221
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 1: Is it while the previous place happening, is it sort

222
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 1: of twenty a couple of plays ahead, and when do

223
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 1: you how early do you need to make the decision

224
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 1: what play are we going to call? And how early

225
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 1: in the play clock does that happen and how quickly

226
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 1: do you need to get that transmitted to the quarterback.

227
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:53,560
Speaker 1: That's a great question. Um, you know that there's there's

228
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 1: it's probably multifaceted in the answer. Um, you know, when

229
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: you there's certain things you're trying to set up as

230
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,839
Speaker 1: you go through the game. So you know, you may

231
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 1: call a couple of things early in the game to

232
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,679
Speaker 1: try to build on that and call something different as

233
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 1: you go forward. There may be something you are kind

234
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,960
Speaker 1: of paying attention to relative to personnel or down and distance,

235
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 1: or something that you've studied that you're waiting on to

236
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 1: try to go ahead and make the call at the

237
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 1: right time. And I would say, on a on a

238
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 1: play to play basis, there's you know, as soon as

239
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 1: you make a play call and it goes into the

240
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:37,679
Speaker 1: to the quarterback, you're really, you know, focusing on the

241
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 1: potential outcomes on that play and what you may be

242
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 1: thinking on the next one based on what the down

243
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,200
Speaker 1: and distance and fuel position is going to be. And

244
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 1: so you know, if it's a second and four call

245
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 1: and you make the call, you're hopefully thinking, okay, third

246
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 1: and third and one to four or first and ten,

247
00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,959
Speaker 1: you know, and so you're trying to make sure you're

248
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 1: or you know, you got one eye on what you

249
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:03,839
Speaker 1: may be calling if it's third and short, and one

250
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:05,439
Speaker 1: eye on what you may be calling if you get

251
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,319
Speaker 1: a first down and you know you have a new

252
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 1: set of downs in front of you. So usually the

253
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 1: play is called within you know, ten seconds of the

254
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 1: play the previous play being run and finished. Sometimes maybe

255
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 1: a few seconds after that, but generally speaking, I would

256
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 1: say you want to try to get it in as

257
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 1: early as you can because you have to substitute personnel sometimes,

258
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 1: you know, they got to get in the huddle, they

259
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 1: got to hear the play call, the cadence, etc. And

260
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 1: then try to break the huddle with plenty of time

261
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,439
Speaker 1: on the play clock to do, you know, whatever the

262
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 1: call requires from the quarterback, whether that's motion shift, you know, etc. So, Um,

263
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 1: you know, there's a lot of things that can that

264
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 1: can go into what you want to call at each time,

265
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:52,679
Speaker 1: and you're trying to process that as you go. And

266
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 1: then there's also the every once in a while there's

267
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 1: the thing like the other night, you get a good

268
00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,319
Speaker 1: play and then there's a penalty that that puts you

269
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 1: in a difference that a situation, a set of circumstances,

270
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 1: and then you've got to try to recalibrate as quickly

271
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,080
Speaker 1: as you can and get yourself into a mode of

272
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 1: trying to get those those yards back that you lost.

273
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 1: So um, a lot of things that are happening in

274
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: a quick amount of time. Hopefully you get it in

275
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 1: as quickly as possible. That's the best thing for the players,

276
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:18,559
Speaker 1: so that they have the maximum amount of time to

277
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 1: do the right thing at the line of scrimmage. Yep,

278
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 1: last question Mike Reef, Josh, where does this chief defense? Um,

279
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 1: you know present some of the biggest challenges for you.

280
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 1: And on the on the back end of that, I

281
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 1: was curious if you ever look at these NFL next

282
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 1: GM staffs like miles per hour, like how fast guys

283
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 1: are if you use those at all for any part

284
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 1: of your preparation. I can answer the first one. First,

285
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 1: they're the last one. First. Um, the only time I

286
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 1: you know, you see those every once in a while

287
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 1: flash on the scoreboard or something, or if you happen

288
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 1: to catch a TV game or something like that. But

289
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 1: generally speaking, I'm not, UM, I don't we don't you know,

290
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 1: have a lot of the miles per hour stuff factor

291
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 1: into what we're doing. So, UM, the Chiefs defense, UM,

292
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 1: you know they're uh, this is the first thing i'd say,

293
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 1: is this a new a new scheme for us? You know,

294
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 1: we've played the Chiefs um for a number of years

295
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 1: in a row now and this is obviously a scheme

296
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 1: change for us. So coach Bagnala, who I coach with

297
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 1: in Saint Louis, uh for one year. UM, you know

298
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 1: he's he's really uh, he's really a good football coach.

299
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 1: They challenge in a lot of different ways. UM, you

300
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 1: know to one gap scheme where they you know, try

301
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 1: to disrupt you with some penetration and uh they pressure

302
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 1: on all three downs, um, which is a challenge, and

303
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 1: they'll they'll try to you know, challenge your protections and

304
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 1: and force the ball out maybe before you want to

305
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 1: come out with their blitz packages. Very creative in that regard.

306
00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 1: UM had a ton of respect for the way that

307
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 1: they do that for years now. UM really a good

308
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 1: team in short yardage, very good in third and medium.

309
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 1: It's a scenario where they excel um, you know, and

310
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 1: they can get after the quarterback. So UM to create

311
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 1: disruptive plays. They have, you know, guys in the front

312
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 1: Clark Jones, um local for not. I mean, those guys

313
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 1: can can really get into the backfield and create some

314
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 1: disruption in the running game. Certainly all of them have

315
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 1: production rushing the passer uh and creating long yard and situations.

316
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 1: So UM, it starts there. You got to do a

317
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 1: good job with their front, um and try to try

318
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 1: to hang in there and and and avoid negative plays.

319
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 1: You got to be and handled the pressures. UM, and

320
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 1: I think they do a really good job of dis guys.

321
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 1: And Matthew, I mean, I've had a tremendous amount of

322
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 1: respect and admiration for him since he's coming to league's.

323
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 1: He's always a difficult player to play against. He lines

324
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 1: up in a lot of different spots, He plays a

325
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 1: lot of different identities in their defense. Um, this guy's

326
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 1: you know what he's gonna do where he's gonna be uh,

327
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 1: and you've got to be really conscious of him. Uh.

328
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:04,679
Speaker 1: And then the last thing I'll say is that you know,

329
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:06,920
Speaker 1: they do a pretty good job in the red zone. Um,

330
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 1: you know, you may you know, if you move it

331
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 1: between the twenties, you still gotta to really hunker down

332
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:13,640
Speaker 1: and play some of your best football inside the twenty

333
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 1: yard line where they're pretty damn good. So big challenge

334
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:20,959
Speaker 1: ahead of us new scheme. Some players were familiar with,

335
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,200
Speaker 1: some were not. You know, have some new new faces

336
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:26,200
Speaker 1: in there, certainly, and we're gonna need to get used

337
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:27,919
Speaker 1: to the players and the way they play and the

338
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 1: things they do on all three downs and in those

339
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 1: situations that I did I talked about, you know, because

340
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:35,680
Speaker 1: we've got to play a great, complimentary game this week.

341
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 1: We know how how talented this team is. Uh, they're

342
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,199
Speaker 1: very good in all three areas, and we're gonna need

343
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:42,800
