1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,200 Speaker 1: With just a couple of medical updates injuries. Devin Lloyd 2 00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:10,440 Speaker 1: was currently evaluating for a calf. It was cleared played 3 00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:13,240 Speaker 1: the first half, tightened up on him in the second 4 00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:16,400 Speaker 1: in the at halftime, went to go in the second 5 00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:18,440 Speaker 1: half a little bit. It was just too tight, So 6 00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:22,000 Speaker 1: we played made a decision as coaches that UH to 7 00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:25,600 Speaker 1: get Ventrell. In Ventrel played well, he was cleared medically 8 00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:30,160 Speaker 1: to play, but we just felt like his coaches watching 9 00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:32,440 Speaker 1: him run a little bit, that it was just too tight, 10 00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:37,680 Speaker 1: So played Ventrell, got him going, and we're currently just 11 00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,279 Speaker 1: kind of being able to test Devin and look at 12 00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:41,920 Speaker 1: it right now to see if he'll be able to 13 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:45,280 Speaker 1: go for US this week. And then Quinton Morris as 14 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 1: well being evaluated for an abductor deal. His UH status 15 00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:53,720 Speaker 1: is a little bit up in the air right now. 16 00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 1: You take Devin, it's a lot of right now, right Yeah, 17 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,440 Speaker 1: it was working through that and see if that's going 18 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 1: to be the best course of action based on how 19 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:08,959 Speaker 1: we get some of these evaluations back today. 20 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,679 Speaker 2: Take on last week. But do you expect Red and 21 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 2: Strange to play against Year? 22 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah I do. Yeah, Yeah, we didn't you 23 00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,760 Speaker 1: know that that's gonna be the it's really gonna be 24 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,920 Speaker 1: weak that. We hopefully the buye gets us a little 25 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 1: bit of a jump on that so that doesn't miss 26 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:32,680 Speaker 1: as many games. We're hopeful that after that, but it's 27 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:35,840 Speaker 1: it's definitely up in the air. It could be longer 28 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 1: than after the buye. 29 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:39,560 Speaker 2: Off. 30 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 1: It's a line a little bit yesterday. 31 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 2: How do you get to the kind of acts, maybe 32 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 2: the level of red from the earlier games. 33 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, we we knew that they had a good front 34 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 1: for sure, and but we definitely did not play our 35 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 1: best upfront in terms of the level of physicality in 36 00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 1: the run game. But also and obviously in past protection, 37 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 1: we were just catching a little bit, not throwing our 38 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:10,639 Speaker 1: hands and playing stout in some of our past protection. 39 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:12,519 Speaker 1: We were just giving up a little bit too much 40 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:17,240 Speaker 1: ground at times. I do think Jonah came in and 41 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,840 Speaker 1: actually played pretty well. I mean, we didn't have a 42 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 1: that that's going to be the thing, like people are 43 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 1: gonna say, well that was the one change up right, 44 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 1: But that was actually he played pretty well, and we 45 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 1: need those other guys to continue to step up around 46 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 1: him and play a little bit better. Right. That's at 47 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:36,799 Speaker 1: the end of the day. We did not play well 48 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:40,800 Speaker 1: enough up front, it starts there, and we did not 49 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 1: meet our standards of operating up front. We can help 50 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:49,639 Speaker 1: them with some chips and stuff like that, but ultimately, 51 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 1: I think those guys understand and they know that we 52 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,240 Speaker 1: didn't meet a standard and we got to get back 53 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:55,960 Speaker 1: to playing the game that we know. How, maybe we 54 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,960 Speaker 1: got to practice a little bit more pads during the 55 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 1: week or something to get these guys feeling hitting blocks better. 56 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 1: We're trying to take care of them, especially with some 57 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 1: of the short week that we had this past week, 58 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 1: but we got to get back to playing physical and 59 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 1: moving the line of scrimmage, especially in the run game. 60 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 2: He did you bring further two tackles in particular comparatively 61 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 2: to the previous five games. 62 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean we had a decent amount of chips signed. 63 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 1: Like I mean, we still had a lot of chips, 64 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: and it was more some of the games that they 65 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 1: when they would stunt, Like when you when you have 66 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:33,080 Speaker 1: a chip there and they stunt and twist and game you. 67 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 1: The chips kind of irrelevant at that point when the 68 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 1: end that you're trying to chip goes inside and creates penetration. 69 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 1: So I think we had a lot of chips on. 70 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 1: We just also threw the ball a little bit more 71 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 1: than we have been in some of the known dropback 72 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 1: situations with how the game kind of got in the 73 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 1: second half. There were some really good pockets and some 74 00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 1: some well protected plays, but it was definitely on us 75 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 1: a little bit quicker than it has been, And it's 76 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 1: really hard to chip inside with the running back, Like 77 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 1: we do teach those guys if they're ever going through 78 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage on a checkdown to always chip color, 79 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,240 Speaker 1: like if there's ever color exposed that we want to 80 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 1: chip that color and put it back on the offensive lignment, 81 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 1: specifically the guards. But it's hard to just say, like 82 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:30,839 Speaker 1: to jet chip the three technique as a runner unless 83 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 1: you have a checkdown that's going through the line of scrimmage. 84 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 1: So it's always a balance to how I've been around 85 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 1: tackles also that hate chips, that they don't want them 86 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 1: because it bothers them knowing that all whenever you have 87 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,720 Speaker 1: like a tight end and a chip alignment, that d 88 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:49,040 Speaker 1: end is aware of it, and sometimes they'll use that 89 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:53,279 Speaker 1: to their advantage and stun them inside, which did happen 90 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 1: a few times yesterday. So it's always finding that balance 91 00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 1: that you want to try to say, want to help them. Also, 92 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 1: we don't want it to become a hindrance in some ways, 93 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 1: which it can be. 94 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 2: And as for the run game, obviously, the first four 95 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,279 Speaker 2: weeks of the season ran the ball well. Looks like 96 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 2: teams got the memo, how do you get that run 97 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 2: game going even up going up against superior defensive lines. 98 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's no question. I mean it's gonna be a 99 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,840 Speaker 1: huge another challenge this week against another really good front. 100 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 1: You know, the difference yesterday a little bit was they 101 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 1: weren't always committing single high to stop the run. It 102 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 1: was still being defended from a shell. And so I 103 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 1: think if we would have maybe been able to keep 104 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,280 Speaker 1: a little bit more, I probably could have ran a 105 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 1: little bit more in the second half to keep a 106 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 1: little bit more balance. We'd get a good run on 107 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,360 Speaker 1: a one back power and it gets called back because 108 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:55,599 Speaker 1: of illegal formation on the right tackle. So it's like 109 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 1: every time you maybe get into a little bit of 110 00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 1: a flow, it was continuing to go back. So you know, 111 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,360 Speaker 1: what we're looking at this week is, Okay, what we 112 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 1: know our identity to be in terms of the runs 113 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 1: that we want to prioritize really repping the heck out 114 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 1: of those to make sure that we're giving these guys 115 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 1: the confidence to go rep them in the games. But 116 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 1: also we've got to be better on our combinations too, 117 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 1: Like Seattle does a nice job of, like if you're 118 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 1: running a double team combination, they're d line did a 119 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 1: nice job of like only playing into one of those 120 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,480 Speaker 1: guys that are trying to block you. So the double 121 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:36,799 Speaker 1: team is then almost off and now they have hands 122 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 1: on one and then your double team other guy that's 123 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 1: trying to go up to the backer, well he's going up, 124 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 1: but now that guy that's blocking him is one on 125 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:51,040 Speaker 1: one again, and so we just did not execute that stuff. 126 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:52,599 Speaker 1: So at the end of the day, I think we 127 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 1: just got to look at all, right, what is our 128 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,480 Speaker 1: balance between under center and gun runs and making sure 129 00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 1: that we're balanced there and also prioritizing what we do 130 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 1: best and also make you know, make us the defense 131 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,599 Speaker 1: stop those things. But we got to go execute a better. 132 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 2: Brian Thomas at the full play us so they made 133 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 2: some great plays, but also at the drop and the 134 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 2: play over the middle at this stage, or what's your 135 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 2: frustration level with just some of the inconsistencies in this game. 136 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's no different than some of the 137 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,680 Speaker 1: inconsistencies and a lot of our guys right now, it's 138 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 1: like are good and some of the good has been 139 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 1: really good, and some of the bad just goes to 140 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 1: a really bottom floor in some ways. And that's just 141 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 1: those that's the consistent play that we're looking for from everybody. 142 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:46,240 Speaker 1: A part of this thing is trying to not let 143 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 1: those dips dip down so low that it's game changing, 144 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 1: right Like, we're all gonna make mistakes or have physical 145 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 1: errors cut down on the mental errors, but the dips 146 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 1: can't go so low. So I've got I still have confidence. 147 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:06,120 Speaker 1: I thought he did some really good things. Obviously, I 148 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:10,440 Speaker 1: had the huge touchdown negated by the penalty. You know, 149 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 1: he knows he's got to make that play on the 150 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 1: third down, and we got to make sure that we're 151 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 1: continuing to put him in a position to be successful, 152 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 1: to do what these guys do best, and start to 153 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 1: really focus in on those things and maybe not ask 154 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 1: him to do some things that you know they're not 155 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 1: doing at a high level right now, and only have 156 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 1: those guys do what they're truly doing best and that's 157 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 1: on us as coaches too. 158 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:37,479 Speaker 2: What do you think you might get why in the 159 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 2: rotation and what's your plans for him when he can play. 160 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, Wyatt has gotten better in terms of more comfort 161 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 1: level over the last probably week or so getting on 162 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 1: you know, on the show team. I think we'll be 163 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,560 Speaker 1: able to get him some more reps this week and 164 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 1: see what that looks like. Obviously still have to see 165 00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,960 Speaker 1: if if Hainesy is gonna be able to go inside there, 166 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,600 Speaker 1: which obviously dictates it's a little bit more, and see 167 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,560 Speaker 1: where why it fits in best, you know, helping us 168 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,200 Speaker 1: at guard or tackle. I do think that we can 169 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 1: get him going a little bit this week during the 170 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 1: work week of practice, not just on the show team, 171 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 1: get him some quality reps with the unit and see 172 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 1: how he can help us going into this weekend. But 173 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 1: I it was a bummer when he got banged up 174 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 1: because he was playing at a high level and he 175 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 1: was doing some really good things. We got to get 176 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,840 Speaker 1: him going again, which I do think is kind of 177 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 1: this week. 178 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 2: That game by the defense where he makes some key 179 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:32,959 Speaker 2: stops but there are also some really big exploss on 180 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 2: the outside. 181 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,440 Speaker 1: Well that's the key of you know, we let the 182 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,640 Speaker 1: ball get thrown over our heads a few times. That's 183 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 1: a tough world if you let up to sixty yarders 184 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:46,840 Speaker 1: and then they I mean, I will say that Seattle 185 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:52,960 Speaker 1: did a great job of calling their shots against the 186 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:57,040 Speaker 1: exact coverages that you would want those plays to be 187 00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:01,720 Speaker 1: drawing up in. You know, tough one on the obviously 188 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:03,640 Speaker 1: the post that went, but they hit us on a 189 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 1: couple overs. It's a cup and want to you know 190 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 1: J s N on the over verse three deep got us. 191 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:14,679 Speaker 1: We stopped the run the way we wanted to. We 192 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 1: won third down, Uh played stout in the in the 193 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,400 Speaker 1: red area on the one third down where they ran 194 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 1: it and we got a field made them kick a 195 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:26,200 Speaker 1: field goal. We did some really good things. But ultimately 196 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:30,200 Speaker 1: those big plays, man, they they're killing us. And so 197 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:34,560 Speaker 1: we've got to eliminate those plays, whether it's with the 198 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:36,920 Speaker 1: play call, whether it's with the execution of the play 199 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 1: call and understanding maybe what's the shot zone? When is 200 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:43,560 Speaker 1: when are they gonna call these shots? And how can 201 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:48,319 Speaker 1: we help them from a coverage standpoint. But that's our 202 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 1: that's the Achilles hill over the last two weeks has 203 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 1: been the big plays or where do you think you guys, 204 00:10:57,679 --> 00:10:59,080 Speaker 1: we just gotta we got to get a little bit 205 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 1: more pressure out. Here's the deal. Is they their past 206 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 1: game when it was in the shotgun or if you 207 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 1: were to say drop back balls coming out when they 208 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 1: took those shots, those were seven man max pros. We're 209 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,559 Speaker 1: both tight ends or staying in you got the back 210 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 1: on a hard ball play action. We got hit on 211 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 1: two man routes a lot yesterday, right whether it was 212 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 1: the post overs, whether it was this, or it was 213 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 1: that we got hit on some two man routes where 214 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 1: the corners are out there one on one, and so 215 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 1: we've got to make sure we're doing a nice job 216 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 1: of mixing up where our cloud is to be able 217 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,800 Speaker 1: to not let the offense get a beat on where 218 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,360 Speaker 1: the cloud is going to be, and so they can't 219 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 1: pick on the quarter side, if you will, And so 220 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 1: it is hard to create a four man rush versus 221 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 1: max pro. So that is always a challenge. We've got 222 00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 1: to look at as a defensive staff, all right, where 223 00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:01,440 Speaker 1: can we maybe create some more pressure. How can we 224 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:05,000 Speaker 1: help them create some more pressure, whether it's worth personnel 225 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 1: or whether it's worth with pressure a couple more be 226 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:10,080 Speaker 1: more decisive. 227 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 2: We wanted him to be more decisive withdrows. 228 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 1: I think there's definitely a handful of throws that you know, 229 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,680 Speaker 1: he can look at and say, I either need to 230 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,440 Speaker 1: take what it is right there in terms of my 231 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:27,000 Speaker 1: first or second read or okay, my first is read 232 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 1: is not open? Maybe pre snap or as I'm accepting 233 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 1: the ball, how can I quickly move on from that read? 234 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,880 Speaker 1: Especially with the pockets. You know, it was a dirty 235 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 1: pocket day and that was the reality, and we've protected 236 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 1: at a really high level up until this past Sunday. 237 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,680 Speaker 1: So I think that's a balance of him now obviously 238 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:54,600 Speaker 1: seeing how that went yesterday, that if number one or 239 00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 1: two is opening the red, we've got to make sure 240 00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,439 Speaker 1: we're getting the ball on time and in rhythm. And 241 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,760 Speaker 1: then on the flip side of it is if it's 242 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 1: a pure progression read where pre snap man that doesn't 243 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 1: look too good over here, or as I accept the 244 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:13,040 Speaker 1: ball it's muddy, how do I how quickly can I 245 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 1: move on to play on time and in rhythm within 246 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:20,640 Speaker 1: the pocket. Because that does have to do with the protection, 247 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,840 Speaker 1: right the quarterback has a responsibility to be able to 248 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 1: progress and have decisions timing and accuracy. So there's a handful. 249 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,199 Speaker 1: I thought he did some really good things as well, 250 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 1: made some great plays off schedule, did some really good things. 251 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 1: But we got to help him out as well with 252 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:40,680 Speaker 1: some of the releases. We got it to be better 253 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:44,079 Speaker 1: on the perimeter. They had a good plan. They played 254 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,800 Speaker 1: a lot of cloud coverage, and they were able to 255 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,319 Speaker 1: rush us with some four man rush and get after us. 256 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,840 Speaker 2: When you first started working for McVay, was there a 257 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,520 Speaker 2: project he gave you or a coaching point he gave 258 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 2: you that said, I've never thought about that, but also, hey, 259 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:04,840 Speaker 2: this guy's really going to help my progress as a coach. 260 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 1: That's a damn good question. I think the project that 261 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:15,320 Speaker 1: I was responsible for for so long was the past drawings. 262 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:18,480 Speaker 1: So like I did all the past drawings for three 263 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 1: years while I was an assistant position coach there. That 264 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 1: opportunity gave me an access to Sean that not maybe 265 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:32,640 Speaker 1: every single coach on the staff had, because when you're 266 00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,600 Speaker 1: responsible to draw the passes, you got to hear it 267 00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 1: from his mouth in terms of the details, the precision, 268 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,240 Speaker 1: the yardage, the depth, the why. Like you're getting an 269 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:48,480 Speaker 1: inside look at the why behind every pass play. And 270 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 1: I think that's probably what maybe helped me the most 271 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:55,000 Speaker 1: of anything that I was able to do, There was 272 00:14:55,960 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 1: the little finite details that go into just one play, 273 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,720 Speaker 1: one pass play that we all run smash right, everybody 274 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:07,400 Speaker 1: runs curl flat, everybody runs these plays. But the detail 275 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 1: in which I learned it from him because of my 276 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:14,840 Speaker 1: access to working with him, even I wasn't saying anything really, 277 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just sitting in there. He's teaching, he's coaching, 278 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 1: he's up on the whiteboard, he's showing me clips and 279 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 1: film examples so that I can, you know, draw those plays, 280 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 1: but also then pull clips of those plays to show, 281 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:31,760 Speaker 1: you know, the coaches and the players. So I think 282 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:35,840 Speaker 1: it was more so that overall opportunity that I had. Now, 283 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,520 Speaker 1: it's not a fun job always to you're down on 284 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:42,520 Speaker 1: the clock, rushing into meetings at nine am with past 285 00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:45,560 Speaker 1: strong as you just finished up, and it's a process. 286 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:48,840 Speaker 1: But I think that definitely that whole opportunity to be 287 00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 1: able to draw. You know so much you talk about 288 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:55,960 Speaker 1: to young coaches like learn visio, learn how to draw. 289 00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 1: If you can draw it, you may always have a job. 290 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 1: And that opportunity was always really cool for me. For 291 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 1: you Teton draws yeah, waving for London early. Can you 292 00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:11,000 Speaker 1: talk about the decisions that. 293 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:12,680 Speaker 2: I guess some of the guys to get it is 294 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:14,920 Speaker 2: like a team bonding kind of experience. The team's gonna 295 00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:15,720 Speaker 2: be gather for a week. 296 00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:20,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, I do it. Was we've done it both ways, 297 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:23,400 Speaker 1: Like I've done it both ways, going out early or 298 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 1: staying on this time zone obviously and then leaving as 299 00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 1: late as kind of possible. It was just something that 300 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 1: when we talked about in the off season that this 301 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 1: could be a possible opportunity for a new everything to 302 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 1: maybe be together for an extended period of time. It 303 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,360 Speaker 1: just so happens. I told the team that what a 304 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 1: perfect time for this to come up, that we're coming 305 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,560 Speaker 1: off of a tough loss and we've got to face 306 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:56,480 Speaker 1: a little adversity as a team. Well, now we're together 307 00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:00,720 Speaker 1: for an extended period of time in a new setting, 308 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:04,800 Speaker 1: in a different place. Obviously, this organization has had a 309 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 1: lot of familiarity with making this trip, and I think 310 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:12,520 Speaker 1: our ops travel, everybody that is involved in it is 311 00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,879 Speaker 1: you know, really gets it. 312 00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:16,760 Speaker 2: They just get it. 313 00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 1: They know how to do this trip. So that gave 314 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:21,560 Speaker 1: me a lot of confidence to be able to move 315 00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:24,600 Speaker 1: and say look, let's go early and let's dive into 316 00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:28,679 Speaker 1: this thing. Get you know, acclimated to the weather, to 317 00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:32,919 Speaker 1: the fields, to all that stuff, knowing that, man, you know, 318 00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 1: the game, the field may be a little bit different 319 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,000 Speaker 1: than what we've been playing in every day here, the weather, 320 00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:42,520 Speaker 1: the conditions, just the being out there. That was what 321 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,520 Speaker 1: really went into it was just try to give these guys. 322 00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:47,480 Speaker 1: I talked to some of the players in the off 323 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:50,600 Speaker 1: season about what they actually liked as well, and it 324 00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:54,680 Speaker 1: weighed into it, and we tried to make the best decision. 325 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:56,920 Speaker 1: We did all the pros and cons from a sports 326 00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:00,800 Speaker 1: science standpoint. We dove into it, and at the end 327 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:02,280 Speaker 1: of the day, I thought it was just a great 328 00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:06,639 Speaker 1: opportunity for our our team to be together and to 329 00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:10,080 Speaker 1: see if we could, you know, right before the bye 330 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 1: where we're not going to see each other for very long. 331 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:14,840 Speaker 1: I just think we just thought it was a great 332 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:18,960 Speaker 1: op to get together, to dive into each other. And 333 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:20,880 Speaker 1: I do think it came at the perfect time. 334 00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:22,040 Speaker 2: Coach
