1
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 1: The Cleveland Browns are back at practice at the Cross

2
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 1: Country Mortgage Campus on Thursday as they continue their preparations

3
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 1: for the Jacksonville Jaguars. Today, on from the Podium, we're

4
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:21,960
Speaker 1: gonna hear from three players and the Browns three coordinators

5
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:24,560
Speaker 1: to give us their thoughts on the matchup with the

6
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:26,240
Speaker 1: Jaguars on Sunday.

7
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 2: The coordinators were up first.

8
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 1: They spoke before practice started, and special teams coordinator Bubba

9
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 1: Ventron led the day off. He talked about how good

10
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 1: of a special team's unit Jacksonville has and what impact

11
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 1: Mike Ford Junior has brought to this team.

12
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 3: I'm just curious once it hits the ground, yeah, you

13
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 3: hope you can catch it to grab it off the grounds.

14
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 4: Yes, Evans mishit. The ball was a short kick, came

15
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 4: off the foot a little bit funky. Ideally, we would

16
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 4: have loved the fielded that thing in the air because

17
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 4: we had space to go, and unfortunately we didn't.

18
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 5: And then, you know, coaching point on playing the balance is.

19
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 4: Ideally you'd like to be about eight yards from the

20
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 4: ball and square like head up on it and then

21
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 4: if it and if it kicks right to then be

22
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,039
Speaker 4: able to field it. Otherwise he said it was spinning

23
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 4: in a funky direction, and it kind of was. You

24
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,839
Speaker 4: could see it on the on the replay. But yeah,

25
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 4: after that, get away from the ball because you don't

26
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 4: want anybody to have any like, you know, contact that

27
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 4: you don't want. So unfortunately, we you know, did not

28
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 4: field the ball. I wish we would have been able to.

29
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 3: How much improvement have you seen out of the pump

30
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 3: return game since James has taken over the last.

31
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 6: Couple of weeks.

32
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 4: I think it's been good. I think our interior has

33
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 4: done a good job. I thought we're playing pretty well

34
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 4: on the perimeter. Have not had any penalties in recent weeks,

35
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 4: which is which is a positive thing.

36
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 5: So we'll keep emphasizing that.

37
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 4: But he's done a good job of getting downhill and

38
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 4: you know, getting what he can get. And I think

39
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 4: we averaged like fifteen eight return last week, which is good.

40
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 4: Just missed that opportunity which we would have loved to

41
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 4: have had.

42
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 7: You know, we.

43
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 4: Probably get at least fifteen on that return, maybe more

44
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 4: and then now we get drive start the on the

45
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:15,359
Speaker 4: one two whatever it was, So that was unfortunate for us.

46
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:20,079
Speaker 8: Well, we've talked about your emphasis on not getting those

47
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 8: holding or blocking in the back ends. But I mean

48
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 8: all the special teams coaches want that. How do you

49
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 8: what is your secret to such a minimum number that

50
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 8: you've adage.

51
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:33,839
Speaker 5: No, I don't think it's I don't think there's any

52
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 5: secret to it.

53
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 4: I think it's you know, the emphasis that you put

54
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 4: on it, you know, each week, and then trying to

55
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 4: educate our players on how the game is being officiated

56
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:47,359
Speaker 4: and then support that with you know, clips from throughout

57
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 4: the league where other teams are making files, and then

58
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 4: you can kind of like understand how those calls are

59
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 4: being made. So I think our guys have a good

60
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 4: understanding on how we need to play and how we

61
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 4: need to play clean.

62
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 8: Penalties you've had on those returns.

63
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 5: On the return game. I don't.

64
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:11,799
Speaker 9: What kind of impact has he been able to bring

65
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 9: your team?

66
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 5: Mike Ford.

67
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 4: He brings a lot of energy, he brings a lot

68
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 4: of speed, toughness. He's the kind of guy you want

69
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,799
Speaker 4: to be able to coach and to you know, impact

70
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 4: your unit. Our guys gravitate towards Mike. He works, He

71
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 4: works hard week in week out, puts a lot into it,

72
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 4: prepared as well, so he's he's done a nice job.

73
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 5: For us, been a good spark.

74
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 3: How was he hard to know?

75
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 10: This season?

76
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 11: Just in that learning and.

77
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 5: Grow more control that who's that.

78
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 12: Grow this season?

79
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think he's done. I think he's done a

80
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 5: nice job.

81
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 4: He's He's a guy that I've always liked watching on

82
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 4: crossover tape. Have never really had the chance to go

83
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 4: against him consistently, not being in like the same division

84
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 4: or anything like that.

85
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 5: But he's he's done a really good job for us.

86
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 4: I think he's improved for sure as the season's gone along.

87
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 4: And he's a guy that you know, we look at to,

88
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 4: you know, give us some you know, energy to that unit.

89
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 4: He's really he's an infectious player and I enjoy coaching them.

90
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 10: Along those lines.

91
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 13: I mean, how important are those like core kind of

92
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 13: guys who have that.

93
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 10: Energy when you're a new coordinator.

94
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 13: On this team and trying to establish things, And how

95
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 13: helpful is he with just that intangible stuff?

96
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think, you know, I think that when we

97
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 4: first started, it took a little bit longer to get that.

98
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 4: What is it the camaraderie amongst our our group, And

99
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 4: now I feel like we have, you know, I would

100
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 4: say good continuity within the unit. You know you have

101
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 4: Matt Adams, Mike Ford, Jordan Kanash, like Tony Fields, all

102
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 4: those guys, Pierre Strong, all those guys have done a

103
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 4: really good job and compliment each other. Well, we're doing

104
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 4: a I think we're doing a good job of playing

105
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:10,599
Speaker 4: complimentary to each other, within the within the unit, and

106
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 4: everybody feeding off of each other and playing team football.

107
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 5: So I think that's been good for our unit.

108
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 8: What stands out to you about this Jacksonville Special Teams?

109
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 5: They're good. They're a good unit.

110
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 4: I've gone against this team for the last five years,

111
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,679
Speaker 4: being an indie in that same division. I've gone against

112
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,799
Speaker 4: their coordinator both as a player and as a coach.

113
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 4: He does a nice job with them. I think they're

114
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 4: a tough I think they're a tough group. They've got

115
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:41,600
Speaker 4: some instinctive players in forty two Win Guard fifty seven Johnson,

116
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 4: both those guys are really good players. They have good specialists.

117
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 4: Brandon McManus as a veteran kicker who's been in the

118
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 4: league for a long time in Denver, and then I

119
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 4: think they're punters, one of the best in the league.

120
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 5: I think he's super talented.

121
00:05:55,839 --> 00:06:01,039
Speaker 4: Cook number nine, he's he's he's he's very very impactful

122
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 4: player for them, So I think that he does a

123
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 4: really good job for them.

124
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 3: Probably the weather who knows the right or any but

125
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 3: Minney severers could be.

126
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 5: Yeah, you never know what you're gonna get here.

127
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 3: Do you have any different message for you guys?

128
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,679
Speaker 10: Do you have any different coach points when.

129
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 5: It could be an issue to the No.

130
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 4: I mean we we've played in some weather games this year,

131
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 4: and you know the opener against Cincinnati, we had reigned

132
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 4: in that game, so our guys will be ready to go.

133
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 10: I know things happening in obviously a game. Did Dustin

134
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:36,600
Speaker 10: come talk to you at all or like you guys

135
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 10: have conversations.

136
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 4: After the missed pat We just need to we need

137
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 4: to convert, We really do. He needs We need to

138
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:47,720
Speaker 4: do a better job of really just focusing on making

139
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:51,280
Speaker 4: that kick and doing everything we can to have the

140
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 4: best mechanics, the best finish, can't can't miss that opportunity.

141
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 5: We needed to be able to convert there.

142
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 4: That hurt our team, and yeah, it was unfortunate.

143
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 3: It is there any coming alleys with what he on

144
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 3: that kick? In the one he listed Baltimore in terms

145
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 3: of what he did on those kicks.

146
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 4: I don't think so. I think you know, each every

147
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 4: every play, every kick is different. We're playing in a

148
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 4: controlled environment inside where there's really not a lot of

149
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 4: I mean, there is open air in that stadium, but

150
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 4: it's not anything that would affect anything like that. I

151
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 4: think we just got to do a better job of

152
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 4: finishing on the kick and really focusing on our mechanics.

153
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 2: Offensive coordinator Alex van Pelt talk next.

154
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 1: He talked about what he saw from Joe Flacco on

155
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 1: Sunday and how everyone in the wide receiver room has

156
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 1: to step up if Amari Cooper can't play on Sunday.

157
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 8: He said, Joe obviously has a lot left to the.

158
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 3: Tank after he played Sunday.

159
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 10: What a crush you most about able to kick the game?

160
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 14: Some Yeah, I'd say probably the third and fourteenth throw

161
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 14: to Maury That was very impressive. That caught itself really

162
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 14: and that's just a lot of throws he made.

163
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 15: You know, you see it.

164
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 14: You know obviously you can stretch the field for sure,

165
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 14: So real impressive for a guy to come off, you know,

166
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 14: without an off season or anything really and step in

167
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 14: and be productive.

168
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 15: So proud of them.

169
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 12: You mentioned being able to stretch the field. He thought

170
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 12: that finally short and showed up the right game the same.

171
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 16: But do you think there's something that will carry forward

172
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 16: that disability to hit our parts opens.

173
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 6: Up for the right game.

174
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 15: Absolutely?

175
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 14: Yeah, definitely, will it all plays together? Obviously, you know

176
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 14: a little different style of QB than we've had, but

177
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 14: that we're used to that, so we can always adjust

178
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 14: and adapt and always going to play to our guys strengths.

179
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 15: Whoever's in there just taking.

180
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 17: A hit, absorbed or blow, you know, been out there

181
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:41,839
Speaker 17: with his teammates, had the pads on again, how much

182
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 17: better do you think he'll be this week.

183
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,559
Speaker 14: If he is a ton I mean, there were a

184
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 14: handful of plays in that game where you know, if

185
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,319
Speaker 14: he had been here through training camp and knew all

186
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,719
Speaker 14: the adjustments and rules that you know, we weren't on

187
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 14: the same page oftentimes, not often, a few times where

188
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 14: a week better of just understanding the system, we'll clean

189
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 14: that up.

190
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 18: So I'm kind of just peeking at his wristband a

191
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 18: couple of times right even over under center. Is that

192
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 18: is he just getting like the last little details on

193
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 18: pass routes or what's on.

194
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 14: There that's play Collins always is difficult, you know, especially

195
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 14: when you're just getting thrown into the mix like he is.

196
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 14: So you know, it's just a you know, the wristband

197
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 14: is kind of like a security blanket just in case.

198
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 14: You know, he does a great job of learning the

199
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 14: play calls each week, and that's just in case you

200
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 14: need it.

201
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 15: So we'll call the play to him and say, hey,

202
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 15: by the way, it's risk band.

203
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 14: So a lot of times you'll see quarterbacks just refer

204
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 14: to it, make sure they're calling it correctly. When you

205
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 14: get to the line of scrimmage, you're just oh, shoot,

206
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 14: what was it again, kind of confirming it.

207
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 15: And that's where we are right now.

208
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 18: I mean, yesterday, like a lot of that play action

209
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,079
Speaker 18: looked really good with him. Is that just because he's

210
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 18: got all those little subtleties down so well? I mean

211
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,080
Speaker 18: it's his size lent to that as well.

212
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean hits, that's how he grew up under center,

213
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 14: you know, running the ball and in play action, so

214
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 14: all the ball handling he's very familiar with. That's something

215
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 14: we definitely put a point emphasis on, is making him

216
00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,479
Speaker 14: look as much like the run as possible.

217
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 8: Crop passes in that game in LA, Well, what do

218
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 8: you think that common thread to that is because you've

219
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,439
Speaker 8: been not you, but the team's been dropping more than

220
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:13,079
Speaker 8: any times.

221
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 6: That you've been here. Yeah.

222
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 14: Again, I don't think it's anything that we've done differently,

223
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 14: you know, to be honest with you kind of go

224
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 14: through these.

225
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 15: Streaks at times.

226
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,560
Speaker 14: We work fundamentals of catching every day, so it's nothing

227
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 14: that we've not like, all of a sudden stop catching

228
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 14: the ball at practice like we do it daily. So

229
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 14: you know, sometimes it's just, oh, man, I got the

230
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:32,319
Speaker 14: drops right now.

231
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 15: It's like my driver, you know.

232
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 14: Oftentimes it's left and then all of a sudden it's right.

233
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 14: So we've just got to correct it and you know,

234
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 14: not not worry about it as much as is just

235
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 14: getting it. Hey, just catch the ball and we will.

236
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 8: And it has something to do with guys getting used

237
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 8: to a different quarterback all the time.

238
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 15: I don't think so, you know, I don't, I don't.

239
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 14: I don't think there's a huge difference of velocity from

240
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 14: each guy. There's some difference, yeah, but that hasn't seemed

241
00:10:59,240 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 14: to be the issue.

242
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 15: Whatever quarterback.

243
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 14: In the last few days or a few weeks, we've

244
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:04,320
Speaker 14: dropped the ball, so we got to handle with the

245
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 14: ball better.

246
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 17: It's just I know that you probably want to leave

247
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:09,440
Speaker 17: this in Kevin's sance, but I picked just to give

248
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 17: it on the record.

249
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 5: I mean, can you announce.

250
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 17: Yet or say anything about whether or not Joe will start.

251
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 15: Yeah, we're still working through all that, Mary kay.

252
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:18,959
Speaker 14: You know we still have to get doing all the

253
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:23,199
Speaker 14: way through the process right now. So until he officially clears,

254
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 14: there's no real decisions to be made that you know.

255
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 11: You guys, I know you can't control the injury situation

256
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,319
Speaker 11: week to week, but this, this has been an ongoing

257
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 11: challenge for you guys this year when you're going through

258
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 11: these weeks not knowing who your starter is going to be.

259
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 11: Is that as big of a deal for you guys

260
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 11: as maybe outside the buildings sometimes.

261
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 15: It gets made out to be. It's a big deal.

262
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,680
Speaker 14: Again, It just it's it's our jobs as coaches again

263
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 14: to put a plan together to put whoever that player

264
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 14: is in the best situation for success for him and

265
00:11:56,679 --> 00:12:00,439
Speaker 14: for us. So again it's it's uh, Honestly, after going

266
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 14: through the COVID years and all that, this is like, yeah,

267
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 14: it's part of the deal now, adjusting adapt and it's

268
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:07,959
Speaker 14: it's a bottom line business. We got to find a

269
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 14: way to win games regardless of who's out there.

270
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,679
Speaker 3: I just want to clarify you, so is Dorian still

271
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:16,319
Speaker 3: in the protocol right now?

272
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 14: I don't have to talk to those guys as I know.

273
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 14: I think there's one more box to check before it's

274
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 14: you know, I'll go, but I'm not one hundred percent sure.

275
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:24,319
Speaker 15: You have to check with those guys.

276
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 18: You were a backup quarterback, do you understand the value

277
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 18: of them as well as anyone has? This has this

278
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 18: season because of all these injuries, changed the way you

279
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,559
Speaker 18: think teams are gonna value backup quarterback back.

280
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 14: It can it's organizational, I mean, how you how you

281
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,559
Speaker 14: deal with those positions. It's money based a lot of

282
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 14: the times, but that's an important role as the next backup.

283
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:46,560
Speaker 14: You know, I would like to like, like the running backs,

284
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:49,319
Speaker 14: are you know, trying to get let's go the backup quarterbacks,

285
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,080
Speaker 14: but you know it's important to have one.

286
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 15: We've had some.

287
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 14: Good success with with the guys we put in in

288
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 14: those positions, but uh yeah, I mean it's it's always

289
00:12:58,120 --> 00:12:59,679
Speaker 14: get another security blanket.

290
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 15: But again, the guys have stepped in. You know.

291
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 14: PJ won two games for US Dorian won a game Forest,

292
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 14: Joe's gonna win a game Force eventually down the road.

293
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 14: So you know, feel good about how we've gotten these

294
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 14: guys prepared to play regardless of who's in.

295
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 7: Does a lies?

296
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 12: You're getting twelve targets?

297
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,559
Speaker 7: Is that speak to their relationship just game plow.

298
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 9: All the above?

299
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 15: Yeah, a little bit of the above.

300
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 14: I think the the injury to Amari obviously put him

301
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 14: into that spot which is going to get the targets,

302
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 14: and I think the familiarity between those two only helps.

303
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:28,680
Speaker 10: If Decision TV.

304
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 12: Between here and ran this week?

305
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,839
Speaker 1: Is it kind of difficult to evaluate Dorian if he

306
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 1: is still in the protocol and is a.

307
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:35,319
Speaker 10: Little bit limited.

308
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 13: Do you feel like you're getting a clear picture of

309
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:38,559
Speaker 13: how he's working back into things.

310
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean we're working them back in now and

311
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 14: again that'll come down to it later in the week.

312
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 15: Decision it does it it you sure it does.

313
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 14: It does add a layer to it, but again we

314
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,559
Speaker 14: have to wait to see the final, you know, the

315
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:52,079
Speaker 14: end of the week results to see what we.

316
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 8: Could do if Dorian does clear Is there something in

317
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 8: his game that would make you think he would give

318
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 8: you a better chance to win than.

319
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,439
Speaker 15: With Joe right now.

320
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 14: Again, it's not a decision to be made at this point.

321
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:07,679
Speaker 14: I think both guys give us a chance to win.

322
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 14: I feel confident in both guys. I really do. Different players,

323
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 14: you know, but definitely I think both can give us

324
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:14,200
Speaker 14: a chance to win.

325
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 15: Again, there'll be a decision made later in the week.

326
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 17: What are your thoughts on a little bit of you know,

327
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 17: platooning or attact your plays for h Dorian if he's cleared.

328
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 14: Yeah, again, I mean that's that's always a possibility if

329
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 14: he makes it.

330
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 15: You know.

331
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 14: Again, we're gonna try to find him as we do

332
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 14: every week, try to find him a way to win

333
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 14: one game this week. And if that's using all the

334
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 14: roster availability that we had, then then we'll we could

335
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 14: find a place for that.

336
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 3: But all about drop passs and the injury to Amari,

337
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 3: is there any chance of Boston walk ins here in some.

338
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 15: Playtime, that's you know, something we'd have to discuss.

339
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 3: Uh.

340
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 14: He's definitely you know, from his preseason work shows that

341
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 14: he's he can make plays in the league for us.

342
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 14: You know, not exactly sure of the availability of those guys,

343
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 14: but he is definitely an option.

344
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 3: Was that Amari?

345
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 19: How do you if you don't play, how do you

346
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 19: anody such a big part of what you guys do.

347
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 10: Who needs to feel that a week?

348
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 14: Yeah, everybody, Really, it's big shoes again. Everybody's gonna have

349
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 14: to step up. David Bell's gonna have to step up

350
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 14: and make plays. He does every week. He's missed a

351
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 14: consistent you know, yes, Dave to do a job, he.

352
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 15: Does it and he catch his ball.

353
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 14: I mean, he's just you feel really good about him

354
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 14: taking some of those reps. You know, Elijah will play

355
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 14: more in that position at times, and then said he

356
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 14: continues to grow and come on. So those are the

357
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 14: three main targets. And then our tight ends will have

358
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 14: to take some of that weight as well, so we'll

359
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 14: have to spread the ball around. But we did a

360
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 14: good job of that last week. I think we had

361
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 14: nine receivers, so you know, that's something that we feel

362
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 14: good about. We're definitely gonna have to find multiple people

363
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 14: to fill that role.

364
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 3: You also see David Joku become more targeted in that absolutely.

365
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 15: You know.

366
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 14: We you know, each week you go into it, you

367
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 14: think about the players and not the plays, and David's

368
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 14: top on that list.

369
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 10: Has some card touchdown for you last week, we're just

370
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 10: where where's his.

371
00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 8: Game at right now?

372
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 15: Yeah, Harry's a really art player.

373
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 14: Heads he always in the right spot, always doing the

374
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 14: right thing. It's good to see him have success, can

375
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 14: catch a touchdown pass. I mean, he's a really good

376
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 14: route runner. You know, he's he gives everything he's got

377
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 14: in the run game.

378
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 15: He's physical.

379
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 14: Some of the kickout blocks he's doing right now for us,

380
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 14: that's a physical block. So again, just trying to find

381
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 14: skill sets or use our guys skill sets.

382
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 15: In the best position to put them in on game day.

383
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 15: But I'm glad to see him getting the end zone.

384
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 15: That was good, interesting.

385
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 17: Shooting protocol and will be practiced today.

386
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 15: I'm not sure where he is.

387
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 14: I think he still is. I'm not one hundred percent sure,

388
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 14: Mary Kay. I know that there's still more hurdles.

389
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 15: You know this.

390
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 14: You know it's different now than it used to be.

391
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 14: But yeah, he's got to check some more boxes.

392
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 15: I believe.

393
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 17: Thank you, we started coming before the jag.

394
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 3: Whereas what stands up with their defense? That are the takest.

395
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 7: Challenge for you guys.

396
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 15: Yeah, solid group.

397
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 14: I mean, obviously they're ranked highly in DVA, so it's

398
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 14: a really good defense, are really good against the run,

399
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 14: so great challenge for us. The edge rushers are special too,

400
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 14: so having ability to make sure we're taking care of

401
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 14: those edges is a big part of it. But really

402
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 14: skilled defense plays a lot of a lot of defense,

403
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 14: a lot of different looks, so the communication is important

404
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:11,440
Speaker 14: for us and how we id things.

405
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:13,359
Speaker 15: But really impressive to watch those guys work. They do

406
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 15: a nice job. Coolbol has been in the league a

407
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 15: long time.

408
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:17,959
Speaker 14: I've followed his career, but when they say, we came

409
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,880
Speaker 14: out around the same time, so I've always followed his career.

410
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 14: Does a great job. He's been around some great coaches

411
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,119
Speaker 14: and it shows their scheme is is good. Their pressure

412
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,120
Speaker 14: packages is is really good as well.

413
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:28,440
Speaker 15: So big challenge.

414
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 10: Yeah, there's a.

415
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 20: Number of games and season they've touched teams to under

416
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 20: a hundred one hundred rush years.

417
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,479
Speaker 11: So when we look at their run defense, I guess

418
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 11: for you guys, if you look at harder balance the

419
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:39,639
Speaker 11: run games skame.

420
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 15: What is the.

421
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,679
Speaker 5: Biggest challenge for us?

422
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 15: We I mean for the run game.

423
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 14: For us, we got to stay in positive plays. You know,

424
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 14: we had a couple of TFLs last week that kind

425
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 14: of scared us. A little bit in the run game

426
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 14: and really didn't get it cranking until the second half.

427
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 14: So for us is coming out and being efficient on

428
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:57,120
Speaker 14: first and second down the run game.

429
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:04,159
Speaker 21: If if the decision ultimately is Dorian this week, obviously

430
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 21: it can't you have a practice field while he's in

431
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,159
Speaker 21: Dura Colby, Can you give us an idea of what

432
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 21: he is able to do to prep for a game?

433
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 15: Walleys of the kid.

434
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 14: Sure, you know he's in practice now for us, so

435
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,880
Speaker 14: that there's different levels of that protocol. So right now

436
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 14: he's available for work, So he's getting work out on

437
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:24,919
Speaker 14: the field, getting reps and getting He's just whatever he

438
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:26,359
Speaker 14: has to do at the end of the week to

439
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 14: get a green light.

440
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 15: We'll see, but that's what he's doing. You know, he's

441
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 15: not off the field right now. He's with US.

442
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 1: Defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz was the final coordinator to speak.

443
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 1: He talked about how they're preparing to face two qbs

444
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:42,399
Speaker 1: this week and the value that he places on getting sacked.

445
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 20: Jim heading into.

446
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,360
Speaker 17: This game, what's it like kind of not knowing whether

447
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 17: you're going to have Trevor or CJ.

448
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 5: How does it impact your preparation?

449
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 20: Yeah, there's a lot of uncertainty going into this game

450
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 20: from just the weather. You know, it's how sloppy is

451
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,160
Speaker 20: going to be, how much is rain going to affect

452
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 20: the game, how much is wind going to affect the game?

453
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 20: And then you know, maybe Trevor Lawrence plays and he's

454
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 20: himself and he has his full mobility, Maybe he plays

455
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:16,439
Speaker 20: and he doesn't have his mobility, and then maybe he

456
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 20: doesn't play at all, and Bethard plays. So I think

457
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:25,119
Speaker 20: that you know, we are our game plan is probably

458
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 20: about twenty five percent bigger this week, and it's not

459
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:32,359
Speaker 20: actually going to be twenty five percent bigger within the game.

460
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 20: It's going to be twenty five percent bigger to be

461
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 20: able to handle all the.

462
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 6: Different things that have come up.

463
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 20: Fortunately this time of year, adding stuff that maybe you'd

464
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,880
Speaker 20: done earlier in the year doesn't take as much gasoline

465
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,680
Speaker 20: to get to the game plan. But it's it's definitely,

466
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 20: you know, it's it's definitely got to be on our

467
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 20: radar with how the game is being played from a

468
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 20: personnel standpoint and then also from a weather standpoint, and

469
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:03,119
Speaker 20: we got every everything in between. You know, maybe it's

470
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,160
Speaker 20: maybe it's so windy that it's hard to throw the ball.

471
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 20: Maybe the wind's not having an effect. Maybe the rain

472
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 20: it's raining, but it's really not having an effect and.

473
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:11,880
Speaker 6: The field's still good.

474
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,440
Speaker 20: Maybe the field is sloppy, and change the direction means

475
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 20: a lot. So you know, all that stuff goes into

476
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 20: consideration in this game.

477
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 18: You're always save Miles, I think from one series last week.

478
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:24,439
Speaker 18: I don't know if he was on any kind of

479
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 18: pitch count or anything like that. He didn't feel like

480
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 18: the shoulder bothered him too much, And just what was.

481
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:31,159
Speaker 6: Your take on that?

482
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 20: Yeah, I mean, I'll just let him speak for himself

483
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 20: when it comes to when it comes to that stuff.

484
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 20: But you know, the information was, you know, full steam

485
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 20: ahead and go. They certainly took a lot of concern

486
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 20: for him when he was in the game. I'm talking

487
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 20: about the rams and then Stafford was throwing the ball

488
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 20: so quick. You know, I wouldn't see you know, him

489
00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 20: not getting any sacks or even not having any tackles

490
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 20: having anything to do with with anything other than the

491
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 20: way the game plan and their game plan went down.

492
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 20: But I think, you know, you look back, we've been

493
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 20: two weeks now without a defensive line sack, and for us,

494
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:17,639
Speaker 20: that's that's that's not us.

495
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 6: We're not built that way. We're built.

496
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 20: We put a lot of resources up front. We have

497
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 20: a lot of good players up front. We have a

498
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 20: lot of talent up front, and we're at our best

499
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 20: when we can generate pressure with four man pass rush.

500
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 20: And in that game, the only time we were really

501
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:39,200
Speaker 20: able to generate any pressure with some some blitz stuff.

502
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:41,440
Speaker 6: So we get to get back to that. We get

503
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:41,920
Speaker 6: to get.

504
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 15: Back to.

505
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 20: Clock in the quarterbacks and to building everything off of

506
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 20: our four man pass rush. And that's just not Miles,

507
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 20: that Z and Obo and Dalvin and everybody else. We

508
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:58,439
Speaker 20: play eight guys up front. Everybody gets significant reps up front.

509
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 20: So we just haven't had, you know, one guy not

510
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:03,880
Speaker 20: have sas for a couple of weeks. We've had eight

511
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:05,879
Speaker 20: guys not have sacks for a couple of weeks. And

512
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,920
Speaker 20: that's you know, that's something that's definitely on our radar.

513
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 20: And when we're at our best, we can blitz on

514
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 20: our terms as opposed to having the blitz to get pressure.

515
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 6: And we're built that way. I expect to get back

516
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 6: to that.

517
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:23,680
Speaker 8: And how Jenny, let's say you have devzel Ward back,

518
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 8: how when you didn't have them in the last two weeks.

519
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:32,359
Speaker 8: How did What kind of ripple effect does that cause

520
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 8: in the.

521
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 20: Secondary, Well, it does change some of your positions. Like

522
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,399
Speaker 20: Greg Newsom went from playing the slot to outside, and

523
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 20: then we were replacing the slot, and then the next

524
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 20: week he went back to the slot, and then the

525
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:47,679
Speaker 20: other guys were outside, So continuity wise, there is a

526
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 20: little bit of that. But he's just a really good

527
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 20: player and was playing at a really really high level.

528
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,119
Speaker 20: And you know, anytime you take a player like that

529
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:59,679
Speaker 20: away from you or away from your from your group,

530
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:02,919
Speaker 20: there's gonna be some adjustments and things like that. We

531
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 20: don't have any excuses our you know, our standard is

532
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:12,880
Speaker 20: the same regardless of who's playing. But excuses and reasons

533
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:16,960
Speaker 20: are different things, right, And Denzel, Denzel means an awful

534
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 20: lot to us. If we're able to get him back

535
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:22,880
Speaker 20: this week, I'm sure that'll give us a boost. If

536
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 20: he's not, then we're gonna have to We're gonna have to,

537
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 20: you know, figure out other ways to compensate and to

538
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 20: be able to play because the other the other teams

539
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:36,640
Speaker 20: also know when Denzel's out there, and like I said,

540
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 20: he was playing at a really really high level. And

541
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:42,919
Speaker 20: you know, as he's getting closer, whether he's able to

542
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,679
Speaker 20: go this week, how much of you know he's be

543
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:47,880
Speaker 20: able to go this week or if he's not able

544
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:48,719
Speaker 20: to go this week.

545
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:50,400
Speaker 6: We just got to be able to play that as

546
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 6: it comes out.

547
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,359
Speaker 3: You mentioned the lack of defensive White Saxons. There's something

548
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:59,119
Speaker 3: schematically they were doing to kind of limit that or

549
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 3: or what you know when you kind of look back, what.

550
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:05,359
Speaker 20: You know the last two weeks, Like so Denver, I

551
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:08,119
Speaker 20: thought was a different situation because Denver didn't throw the

552
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:11,440
Speaker 20: ball very much at all. You know, they like twenty

553
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:16,240
Speaker 20: twenty throws or whatever. And Russell Wilson, we had some

554
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 20: good rushes in that game, but we weren't able to

555
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:22,880
Speaker 20: finish the quarterback. He was scrambling around. So with that

556
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 20: is number one, there wasn't a lot of opportunities. Number

557
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 20: two is he was tough to tackle and you know,

558
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,159
Speaker 20: was able to either buy time to make some throws

559
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:35,160
Speaker 20: or be able to scramble even if he didn't get

560
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:38,200
Speaker 20: the first down, like the one fourth down. He got

561
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 20: the first but we caused the fumble. Last week. I

562
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,640
Speaker 20: thought it was I thought it was different. They took

563
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 20: an approach of trying to nullify the pass rush with

564
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 20: quick passes and getting the ball out of his hand quick.

565
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:51,399
Speaker 20: We got to be able to play it both ways.

566
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 20: I think every game sort of stands alone. It was

567
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 20: just you know, when I say two weeks, it wasn't

568
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 20: the same thing from week to week. But I would

569
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 20: say that, like we are built, we expect our d

570
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 20: line to be the driving force of our defense.

571
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:08,880
Speaker 6: They are the engine that drives us.

572
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 20: We get our energy from them, and regardless of a

573
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:17,879
Speaker 20: mobile quarterback or quarterback throwing quick, we have to still

574
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 20: be effective in past rush. Sometimes it might look a

575
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 20: little bit different, but we have to be effective in

576
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:25,359
Speaker 20: our pass rush when the.

577
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:27,160
Speaker 19: Quarterback gets rid of it so fast and they get

578
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:28,359
Speaker 19: three guys black lines.

579
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 20: Yeah, I think a lot of that also depends on coverage.

580
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 20: And I think you saw that a little bit earlier

581
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:37,879
Speaker 20: in the year, when you know our coverage can make

582
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:41,160
Speaker 20: the quarterback hold the ball a little bit longer, and

583
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 20: you know, I think you go back and like watch

584
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:47,199
Speaker 20: the San fran game, and I thought that was one

585
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 20: of the best games that we had as far as

586
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 20: playing complimentary with our pass rush and our past coverage.

587
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 20: There were some real difficult things in past coverage in

588
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 20: that day, and we weren't always perfect dirty a lot

589
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:02,920
Speaker 20: of times, and sometimes you know, with.

590
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 6: All that you know, you know, excuse me, all.

591
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:12,879
Speaker 20: That motion and changes and everything else. We lost guys

592
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,199
Speaker 20: a couple times and we didn't have quick coverage on it,

593
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 20: but the pass rush kept the quarterback from finding it.

594
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 20: And there were other times where where our coverage bought

595
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:25,199
Speaker 20: us a little bit of time to be able to

596
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 20: get there.

597
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 6: So I would say this.

598
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 20: When when the quarterback has taken an approach of throwing

599
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 20: a quick it does put more of a more of

600
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 20: an emphasis on tight coverage, right, you know, don't give

601
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 20: them quick answers, you know, and you know I don't.

602
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,680
Speaker 20: There weren't a lot of quick zone answers in that game.

603
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:48,120
Speaker 20: But there's there's some things we can execute better and

604
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 20: just a little bit in our mand our man leverage

605
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:51,680
Speaker 20: wasn't great in that game.

606
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 6: There's too many times that.

607
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 20: We lost our leverage, whether it was a boot, whether

608
00:26:57,960 --> 00:26:59,919
Speaker 20: it was play action or just a just a rap

609
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:04,320
Speaker 20: or even you know, we ran an exchange of zone

610
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:07,200
Speaker 20: blitz and we give up a big play on it

611
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 20: that that play, I mean, the passes we give up

612
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 20: on that place, should be five to ten yards, should

613
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:13,680
Speaker 20: never be a deep play. We didn't execute that well.

614
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:19,120
Speaker 20: Lawn is real close to you know, getting a sack

615
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:22,200
Speaker 20: or affecting the quarterback. We didn't make the quarterback hold the.

616
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 6: Ball long enough.

617
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 20: We didn't execute well in that.

618
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:27,160
Speaker 15: Yeah.

619
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 9: Yeah, what was supposed to happen? Then?

620
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,480
Speaker 22: Was that a case of stafford knowing you and taking

621
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 22: advantage of them?

622
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 6: No, I don't know.

623
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 20: I don't think it's known me because we didn't run

624
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:41,440
Speaker 20: that scheme when I was in Detroit. But we it's

625
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,160
Speaker 20: something that we've had a lot of success with this year.

626
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:47,120
Speaker 20: It's a it's we have a lot of different versions

627
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 20: of it, but we've had a lot of different or

628
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 20: it's been a very very high.

629
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 6: Percentage play for us. We just didn't execute it well enough.

630
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:58,879
Speaker 20: I'll leave that to the PFF people and everything else,

631
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:03,439
Speaker 20: but but we we definitely, we definitely broke down in

632
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 20: our in our techniques. Like I said, that's a it's

633
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:10,359
Speaker 20: a it's no secret that that's its own blitz, but

634
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 20: it wasn't executed the way it needs to be executed.

635
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 17: The fact that the next highest sacker after Miles is

636
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 17: Obo with three and a half in zeally has two

637
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:20,200
Speaker 17: and a half.

638
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 10: Uh, you know, what are your thoughts on that? And

639
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 10: what else? What might you need to be happening.

640
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 5: There that's not happening.

641
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:29,639
Speaker 20: Yeah, you know, sacks, you know, I mean, obviously sacks

642
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 20: are important to us, and I think one of the

643
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 20: reasons sacks are important to us because there's such a

644
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 20: high incident of turnover when it comes to sacks, right

645
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 20: being around the quarterback and things like that.

646
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 6: But there's other times.

647
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 20: I mean, I'm gonna take me off my soapbox here,

648
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 20: but if you have a great rush and you're gonna

649
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 20: get a sack and the quarterback intentionally grounds the ball, okay,

650
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 20: it's loss of down and you get the yardage of.

651
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 6: A sack, but the player doesn't get the sack. Always

652
00:28:58,680 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 6: thought that was a sort of.

653
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 20: A you know, a bad loophole there, that the player

654
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 20: wasn't credited for the good play that he had.

655
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 6: But you know, same thing.

656
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:10,960
Speaker 20: You know, if if the if the pass rush forces

657
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 20: a ball to be thrown quick and they have to

658
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 20: throw short at the sticks or they throw incomplete, was it.

659
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 6: An effective rush? I think, you know, when it's all said.

660
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 20: And done, we're trying to judge by more what their

661
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 20: effective pass rush rate is. You know, there there they're

662
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:32,040
Speaker 20: pressures and things like that. We obviously want sacks and

663
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 20: be able to finish. But sometimes sometimes you know, again

664
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 20: like if the quarterback decides to burn the ball and

665
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 20: put the punt team on the field as a pass rusher,

666
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 20: does it make it less of a good pass rush

667
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 20: for you? So I think we look at a little

668
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 20: bit more stuff like that. I know Z has still

669
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 20: had a very high percentage of wins in pass rush.

670
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 20: And you know, and pass rush for us is always

671
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 20: a collective effort. Mentioned we lean on our four man

672
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 20: pass rush and and you know when you run games,

673
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 20: when you run individual rushers, there's some guys are going

674
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 20: to get doubled, some guys are going to get one

675
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 20: on one. As long as we're getting pressure, that's.

676
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 6: What we look at.

677
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 20: We look at the four man pass rush. So yeah,

678
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 20: we want our numbers up. I'd like our numbers up

679
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 20: just for the individual players. You know, you know, they

680
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 20: get judged on sacks, I think sometimes unfairly. But you

681
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 20: know the other thing that comes up, like you know,

682
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 20: I said a bunch of times, like our d line's

683
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 20: job is go mess some stuff up right, and that

684
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 20: last game we had zero sacks and we had only

685
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 20: one tackle for a loss. And when we're playing our best,

686
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 20: it's six or seven tackles for losses in a game,

687
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 20: and second and twelve and second and fourteen, we were

688
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 20: never able to gain that advantage in this ran games.

689
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 20: We need to get back to those those kind of

690
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 20: penetration disruption on the run. You know, and this is

691
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:56,959
Speaker 20: just me on my soapbox, but you know, if it's

692
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 20: a run play and you get a four yard tackle

693
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 20: for a law second and fourteen, it's first and ten,

694
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 20: and you get a sack for four yards second and fourteen,

695
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 20: you know, as it affected the defense has affected to

696
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 20: play called the next play. Probably not the biggest thing

697
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 20: is the more you're around the quarterback, the higher the

698
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 20: higher percentage chance for turnovers. And our turnovers haven't been

699
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 20: where they need to be either, And I think that

700
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 20: can be that can that can all get spurred by

701
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 20: being around the quarterback more?

702
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:29,560
Speaker 13: I mean, is that also, Jo, I know you talked

703
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 13: about it last week a little bit, but the third

704
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 13: down stops and I know a little not quite on

705
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:36,520
Speaker 13: far with what you had then this past week. Either

706
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 13: is that just a matter of still getting to the

707
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 13: quarterback helps.

708
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 16: That a lot more.

709
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 20: Yeah, you know, I mean I'm not big on the

710
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 20: league rankings, but our percentage is still pretty good on

711
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:50,959
Speaker 20: third down, and a bad day for us is probably

712
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 20: not a bad day for you know, a lot of

713
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 20: the rest of the league. And that just goes to

714
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 20: the standard and the way we played and we need

715
00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 20: to be able to get back to that. But that

716
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:03,959
Speaker 20: ability to stop drives extremely important to us. And you know,

717
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 20: just like Jeff had talked about with Denzel, Denzel means

718
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 20: a lot to that. Our pass rush means a lot

719
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 20: to us. We put a lot of time in our

720
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 20: third down package. We have good players, we have a

721
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 20: good compliment of blitzes, you know, and sometimes third down

722
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 20: can be a good disinfectant for you know, sometimes like

723
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 20: maybe your run defense or giving up a big play,

724
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 20: if you can get that third down stop. It just

725
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:29,719
Speaker 20: disappointed this last game of you know, we gave up

726
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 20: the big play, which we shouldn't give up, but you know,

727
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 20: then and then we played some pretty good football until

728
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:37,200
Speaker 20: there were six minutes left. I mean, basically, you give

729
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 20: up thirteen points until there was sixteen or six minutes

730
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 20: left and we just got a big third down stop,

731
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 20: got the ball back for our offense, and then we

732
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 20: had an unfortunate turnover and then we just fell apart

733
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 20: after that. And that's the thing that was most concerning

734
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 20: about that game. It wasn't you know, like, look, it's football.

735
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:56,880
Speaker 20: You're going to have sometimes you don't execute as well,

736
00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:58,800
Speaker 20: maybe you give up a big play or maybe you

737
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 20: don't get off the field on the third are down.

738
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 20: But you know, I thought we were passed that after

739
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 20: that Baltimore game. But you know, I think that, you know,

740
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 20: like like like after that turn we hold him to

741
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:11,800
Speaker 20: a field goal.

742
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 6: There, we get the ball back. Now, touchdown wins the game.

743
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 20: We give up the touchdown right there, we don't execute

744
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 20: very well, we give up the touchdown. Now all of

745
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:21,120
Speaker 20: a sudden, it's a touchdown and a two point just

746
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 20: to tie the game. Change that dynamic completely, And that's

747
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 20: that's on the defense.

748
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 6: That's on us.

749
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 1: The players were up next, and Denzel Ward talked first.

750
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 1: He talked about how his shoulder injury is feeling and

751
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:33,760
Speaker 1: how devastated he was not to be on the field

752
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:36,720
Speaker 1: these past two weeks.

753
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:39,520

813

Speaker 23: tape out there on film. Uh, we got the ability

Speaker 23: to help the same win.

820
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:15,640

821
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:17,640
Speaker 12: It's, you know, the make or break time of.

822

824
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:27,640
Speaker 25: I know it was real abnormal with the COVID protocols

825
00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:28,399
Speaker 25: and stuff like.

826
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 10: That, But can that experience of help you this time

827
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:37,560
Speaker 10: around as you go through another playoff.

828
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:40,920
Speaker 23: Chase here, Yeah, to a certain extent. I mean every

829
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:42,920
Speaker 23: year you're gonna be faced with a lot of adversity

830
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:45,759
Speaker 23: and just gotta try to find ways to overcome it

831
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:48,120
Speaker 23: and ultimately find a way to get a win.

832
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:48,839
Speaker 24: That's always the.

833
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:50,960
Speaker 23: Goal each week is to go want to know and

834
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:54,200
Speaker 23: get a win, and but yeah, just find a way

835
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:55,320
Speaker 23: to overcome that adversity.

836
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:57,800
Speaker 24: But I think we're capable of doing that.

837
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 17: Last thing I saw PFT you as you remember a

838
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:06,560
Speaker 17: single coverage twenty six?

839
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:11,480
Speaker 22: Yeah, are you do.

840
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:13,319
Speaker 17: You feel like you're having your best season in.

841
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:15,480
Speaker 7: OH? I?

842
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:18,200
Speaker 23: I do, Honestly, I feel like uh I am UH

843
00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 23: having one of my better seasons definitely UH in man

844
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:25,720
Speaker 23: and man coverage. But I count that to UH coach Schwartz,

845
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:29,759
Speaker 23: my position coaches, and UH the D line being able

846
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:31,680
Speaker 23: to get a lot of pressure on the quarterbacks and

847
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 23: the back end. We've been playing a great contromary ball

848
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:37,399
Speaker 23: UH when I've been out there, and they've been doing

849
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:39,680
Speaker 23: a great job helping me out and and putting me

850
00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:42,360
Speaker 23: in great positions to make plays on the ball and

851
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:46,360
Speaker 23: just being great position really, so UH, I feel I

852
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:49,279
Speaker 23: have been doing pretty well in that aspect, but it's

853
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:52,080
Speaker 23: it's it. A lot goes into that and how I'm

854
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 23: able to get necessarily one of the best UH man

855
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:57,080
Speaker 23: and man coverages that Russians. They're putting a lot of

856
00:37:57,080 --> 00:37:59,480
Speaker 23: pressure on that quarterback, making them get that ball out

857
00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 23: pretty quick, so I don't have to cover too long

858
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:01,920
Speaker 23: back there.

859
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:05,960
Speaker 10: Obviously, this is ultimatum to you. Back to back glasses

860
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 10: with you and defense having a little bit of struggles,

861
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:10,560
Speaker 10: how much pride are.

862
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:12,680
Speaker 9: You taking you normally give him a boost you.

863
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 24: Yeah, I take a lot of pride in that.

864
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 23: I try to be that spark and be that uh

865
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:22,480
Speaker 23: big energy and play making guy out there as best

866
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:24,399
Speaker 23: as I can and doing what I whatever I can

867
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:26,239
Speaker 23: to help my team win. So this is just it's

868
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:28,520
Speaker 23: been hard for me and hurt and just being out

869
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:31,480
Speaker 23: for my guys. I want to be there, So just

870
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:33,799
Speaker 23: feeling like I've been kind of letting them down, but

871
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:35,759
Speaker 23: just trying to fight to get back out there with

872
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:39,520
Speaker 23: those guys as less to goal, but just try to

873
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:42,279
Speaker 23: do my best I can and be myself and help

874
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:42,920
Speaker 23: this team.

875
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:47,640
Speaker 22: Wind as you need to show you break this up and.

876
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:49,560
Speaker 10: This stage of your clear.

877
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 22: What is your attitude about the way you play. I'm

878
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:57,319
Speaker 22: not gonna change anything where you play the way you can.

879
00:38:58,719 --> 00:38:58,879
Speaker 9: Man.

880
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:00,960
Speaker 23: I feel I'm a i'm a ain't making I'm gonna

881
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:04,919
Speaker 23: play making corner and uh, I feel like my team

882
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 23: needs me and I need myself.

883
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:06,879
Speaker 24: I need this game.

884
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:10,319
Speaker 23: I love playing this game, and I mean, injuries are

885
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:13,440
Speaker 23: gonna happen. Something's gonna happen. I had, like I said,

886
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:15,799
Speaker 23: I had a few concussions, but I'm not too worried

887
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:17,839
Speaker 23: about that, Like I did my research and everything on

888
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:21,680
Speaker 23: that and overcome those and I mean hurt my shoulder

889
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:22,320
Speaker 23: a little bit.

890
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:23,719
Speaker 24: But I mean that's just how the game goes.

891
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:25,799
Speaker 23: Sometimes you just gotta try to find a way to

892
00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 23: continue to stay on top of my body and everything.

893
00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:31,279
Speaker 23: And and once maybe I do go out, get back

894
00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:33,000
Speaker 23: as fast as I can and get back out there.

895
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:35,439
Speaker 23: But it's definitely not gonna affect the way I play

896
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:38,200
Speaker 23: the game. I feel like when I'm out there, I

897
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:39,600
Speaker 23: just do what I can to help my team win,

898
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:42,399
Speaker 23: and that's playing fast and physical and uh being who

899
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:42,680
Speaker 23: I am.

900
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:44,799
Speaker 10: You say you feel like if you're.

901
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:49,320
Speaker 17: Team out, why would you feel that way when you're obviously.

902
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:54,160
Speaker 10: Out with.

903
00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:55,719
Speaker 24: Yeah, I just I just want to be out there

904
00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:57,040
Speaker 24: with my guys. That that's it.

905
00:39:57,160 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 23: I know the team needs me, and I just I

906
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:02,279
Speaker 23: just want to be out there with them, out there

907
00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:05,040
Speaker 23: fighting with them and trying to fight.

908
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:05,640
Speaker 24: For the playoffs.

909
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:07,600
Speaker 23: So that's the biggest thing when I say I felt

910
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:08,879
Speaker 23: like I'm kind of letting them down.

911
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:10,200
Speaker 24: Even know stuff happened. That's life.

912
00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 23: Things are gonna happen, and you're gonna be faced with

913
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:15,719
Speaker 23: situations where you may be out and may not be

914
00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:18,640
Speaker 23: able to do certain things, but just trying to be

915
00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:19,480
Speaker 23: the best men I could be.

916
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:20,600
Speaker 12: And uh, if.

917
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:22,760
Speaker 24: I'm out being a great coach coach on the sideline

918
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:24,399
Speaker 24: and helping those guys out as best as I can.

919
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:27,920
Speaker 23: But uh, I know for me personally in this situation

920
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:29,760
Speaker 23: is best for me to be out on that field

921
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:31,359
Speaker 23: then on the sideline as a coach.

922
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:33,919
Speaker 10: You cangel a power from what you said about dealing

923
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 10: with injuries. When you're out there. We know that you

924
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:39,680
Speaker 10: played a program level, but it has been.

925
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:41,880
Speaker 9: Something you have to repeatedly overcome.

926
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:42,520
Speaker 10: And come back and come back.

927
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:44,920
Speaker 9: What keeps you going? What keeps your head off when

928
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:46,399
Speaker 9: you're dealing with head over and over and over.

929
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:49,439
Speaker 23: Yeah, I mean I understand that the injuries are gonna happen.

930
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:51,720
Speaker 24: Stuffing's gonna happen. That's football. I think I just compared

931
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:52,200
Speaker 24: to life.

932
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:54,920
Speaker 23: Every everything is not gonna be perfect in life, and

933
00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:58,040
Speaker 23: things are gonna happen, but it's about how you respond

934
00:40:58,040 --> 00:40:59,520
Speaker 23: and how you overcome it. So I take a lot

935
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:01,719
Speaker 23: of pride in and being able to fight back and

936
00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:05,000
Speaker 23: regardless of the circumstance of being able to come.

937
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:07,960
Speaker 24: Back and execute at a high level of play and

938
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:09,239
Speaker 24: I'm still doing my job.

939
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:11,520
Speaker 23: So I said that that's life. Stuff is gonna happen

940
00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:12,960
Speaker 23: in life, but just being able to overcome.

941
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:15,040
Speaker 17: I heard in the beginning that it may have been

942
00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:15,920
Speaker 17: something to do with.

943
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:17,360
Speaker 9: It with your raid room.

944
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:20,520
Speaker 17: Was it something sort of structural that you've been doing.

945
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:23,719
Speaker 23: Oh, I'm not going to disclose any any sort of

946
00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:27,879
Speaker 23: injuries or of that, so, but I'm feeling a lot

947
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:30,040
Speaker 23: better and just looking forward to get back with the guys.

948
00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:31,839
Speaker 2: Joe Flacco was up next.

949
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:33,960
Speaker 1: The quarterback talked about how good it felt to be

950
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:36,400
Speaker 1: back on the field and what it was like playing

951
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:39,080
Speaker 1: at Cleveland Brown Stadium all those years with the Ravens.

952
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:40,759
Speaker 10: Dude, you feel like this week you have.

953
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:43,799
Speaker 25: A better handled everything now that you've played a game,

954
00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:46,000
Speaker 25: kind of gone through that experience and gotten that out

955
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:48,319
Speaker 25: of your system.

956
00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:50,279
Speaker 7: You know. I think I had that first week that

957
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:54,120
Speaker 7: I was here where I wasn't, you know, active at all,

958
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:56,759
Speaker 7: to kind of break myself in. So the last every

959
00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:58,360
Speaker 7: week kind of gets you a little bit more comfortable.

960
00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:00,239
Speaker 7: But I don't really think it's necessarily the pros. I

961
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:02,160
Speaker 7: think it's just kind of now getting with the individual

962
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:04,799
Speaker 7: guys and getting the feel for you know, the little

963
00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:07,040
Speaker 7: details more so than the big picture plan.

964
00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:09,959
Speaker 19: Is there an area where you look at the first

965
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:12,000
Speaker 19: game and say this is where you could take a

966
00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:13,160
Speaker 19: jump in the second game.

967
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:16,560
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, listen, in the first game, it was

968
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:18,279
Speaker 7: really not a very physical game for me. I think

969
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:20,040
Speaker 7: our offensive line did a great job. I think there

970
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:23,799
Speaker 7: was just times where you know, I threw the ball away,

971
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:26,520
Speaker 7: which is is good. But at the same time, I

972
00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:28,520
Speaker 7: felt like there was a couple of different times that maybe,

973
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:31,520
Speaker 7: you know, I could have moved, maybe drugged to play

974
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:34,120
Speaker 7: out a little bit more, did certain things like that.

975
00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:37,080
Speaker 7: And then there were a couple of plays where it

976
00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:39,759
Speaker 7: was just like the little details of whatever that play

977
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:41,839
Speaker 7: may have been. There may have been two or three

978
00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:45,080
Speaker 7: plays where you know that kind of I lost it

979
00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 7: for a second, you know, and we didn't do you know,

980
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:49,839
Speaker 7: we threw an incompletion or whatever. So you know that

981
00:42:49,880 --> 00:42:51,920
Speaker 7: those were probably two areas that we can I can

982
00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:52,600
Speaker 7: get a little better.

983
00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:53,640
Speaker 9: The time of.

984
00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:57,200
Speaker 22: Way affected your decisions more than anything physical.

985
00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:00,759
Speaker 7: Uh. Well, like I said, I I think it was

986
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:06,319
Speaker 7: a very I guess it was a very easy first

987
00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:08,880
Speaker 7: game in terms of the physicality for me. So I

988
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:11,359
Speaker 7: don't know if it's like a great measure of how

989
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:13,880
Speaker 7: my body's necessarily going to react to the physical nature

990
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:18,040
Speaker 7: of it. But I mean, I listen, I know that

991
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:22,480
Speaker 7: I'm not in my twenties anymore, but you know, thirty

992
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:25,400
Speaker 7: eight isn't super old in the real world. So I

993
00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:27,520
Speaker 7: feel like I've done a good job of keeping myself

994
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:29,840
Speaker 7: in shape. But anytime you go and step on that field,

995
00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:33,360
Speaker 7: and any year, really for a quarterback, it's kind of

996
00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:35,880
Speaker 7: weak to weak how your body feels physically, just because

997
00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:38,640
Speaker 7: you're not in the middle of the line banging heads

998
00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:41,520
Speaker 7: every single play. It really comes down to how many

999
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 7: times did you get you know, did you land on

1000
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:44,200
Speaker 7: that ground?

1001
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:47,480
Speaker 9: And I kind of just throwing your ball and executing

1002
00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:49,760
Speaker 9: fay fakes. I mean that was not a problem.

1003
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:52,080
Speaker 7: No, you know, I made sure I kept my arm

1004
00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:55,799
Speaker 7: in good enough shape and all that other stuff. You know,

1005
00:43:56,320 --> 00:43:59,040
Speaker 7: there's definitely an element to it that's like riding a bike.

1006
00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:00,320
Speaker 7: You just get back out there doing it.

1007
00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:03,480
Speaker 10: You're telling us, not training camps. You can run off

1008
00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:05,080
Speaker 10: the couch and even do what you gotta do.

1009
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:09,640
Speaker 7: Listen, I there's definitely parts of training camp I enjoy,

1010
00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:11,759
Speaker 7: and there's definitely parts of training camp that. I can't

1011
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:15,239
Speaker 7: say I was too disappointed on missing out on I'm

1012
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:16,840
Speaker 7: sure a lot of veterans will probably tell you, oh,

1013
00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:18,840
Speaker 7: we don't need a training camp, let's just start the season.

1014
00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:21,040
Speaker 7: But there's more to it than that. I don't think

1015
00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:23,640
Speaker 7: this is ideal. I think you'd I think you'd definitely

1016
00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:25,759
Speaker 7: like to, you know, kind of rev up a little

1017
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:26,640
Speaker 7: bit and get yourself going.

1018
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:29,799
Speaker 18: Kevin and Alex, how sharp you were on all the

1019
00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:33,400
Speaker 18: little nuances and the pine action position, all that stuff.

1020
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:35,480
Speaker 18: That stuff I'll come back naturally Or is that stuff

1021
00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:36,520
Speaker 18: you really needed to work on.

1022
00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:37,479
Speaker 12: Last week to get ready.

1023
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:40,240
Speaker 7: I think how I do it, it comes back naturally

1024
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:43,000
Speaker 7: for the most part. You know, you don't realize how

1025
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:45,479
Speaker 7: much of that stuff is also relying on the back

1026
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:48,040
Speaker 7: and the line, firing off in the back, rolling over

1027
00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:50,480
Speaker 7: and making sure that he's you know, as wide as

1028
00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:52,200
Speaker 7: he needs to be or as tight as he needs

1029
00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:55,040
Speaker 7: to be. And then obviously with each different coaching staff

1030
00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:57,359
Speaker 7: they have little different nuances on how they do those

1031
00:44:57,400 --> 00:45:00,759
Speaker 7: things and how it sets up this play versus that. So,

1032
00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:04,080
Speaker 7: like I said, the way I've done it, yeah, it

1033
00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:06,400
Speaker 7: comes back pretty naturally, but there's always a little bit

1034
00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:09,239
Speaker 7: of different ways that coaches coach it that I need

1035
00:45:09,239 --> 00:45:10,279
Speaker 7: to get up to speed a little bit.

1036
00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:13,719
Speaker 10: On Joe, you've played leaving a lot in your career.

1037
00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:18,120
Speaker 10: Is this place more difficult than others? Some bad weather?

1038
00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:20,120
Speaker 10: Because you guys get face some bad.

1039
00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:20,960
Speaker 6: Weather, you know.

1040
00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:24,040
Speaker 7: I think when you play in this division, which I

1041
00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:27,400
Speaker 7: have most of my career, you just you just have

1042
00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:28,960
Speaker 7: to get used to the fact that that's going to

1043
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:31,640
Speaker 7: be the case, and both teams have to deal with it.

1044
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:35,480
Speaker 7: And I don't think anybody I don't care how long

1045
00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:37,640
Speaker 7: and how much you tell yourself that you love playing

1046
00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:39,600
Speaker 7: in this kind of stuff and try to convince yourself

1047
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:41,920
Speaker 7: that you can do it. I don't think anybody loves it.

1048
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:45,239
Speaker 7: But you get used to doing it and you have

1049
00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:47,160
Speaker 7: your ways. I mean, I remember back in the day

1050
00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:50,880
Speaker 7: coaches made you wear the long studs. And you know,

1051
00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:54,080
Speaker 7: fields have gotten better over the last fifteen years, but

1052
00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:56,160
Speaker 7: that's still a factor. You know, you can see out

1053
00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:58,480
Speaker 7: in the practice field, like you want to be able

1054
00:45:58,560 --> 00:46:01,120
Speaker 7: to have guys, I would think more so than the

1055
00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:03,919
Speaker 7: ball and all that, it's footing, and it's getting guys

1056
00:46:04,040 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 7: feet in the ground so that they can confidently run

1057
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:07,200
Speaker 7: routes and put their feet.

1058
00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:08,359
Speaker 9: In the ground, jo Will.

1059
00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:11,520
Speaker 22: Since you went with the team in this book play Chase,

1060
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:14,920
Speaker 22: So what do you feel about that having the responsibility

1061
00:46:16,040 --> 00:46:18,279
Speaker 22: on your shoulders of this game game?

1062
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:19,600
Speaker 9: You feel about that?

1063
00:46:22,200 --> 00:46:27,680
Speaker 7: Yeah, listen, I uh, it's invigorating, for sure, it's exciting.

1064
00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:30,839
Speaker 7: This is what you want. There's always things like when

1065
00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:33,320
Speaker 7: you're sitting by yourself and you're running through things in

1066
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:35,640
Speaker 7: your head, there's always things that you're going to think about,

1067
00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:38,160
Speaker 7: and that's why it is so important. And you always

1068
00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:40,279
Speaker 7: hear people say, just stay in the moment, be where

1069
00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:43,719
Speaker 7: you are, and that's the biggest Uh. That's one of

1070
00:46:43,719 --> 00:46:46,799
Speaker 7: the biggest challenges for probably professional athletes is to try

1071
00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:48,719
Speaker 7: to stay in the moment as much as you can

1072
00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:53,239
Speaker 7: and just worry about today, doing this interview, tomor after this,

1073
00:46:53,600 --> 00:46:55,120
Speaker 7: going and taking care of my body and going to

1074
00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:57,840
Speaker 7: the meeting room. And if you let your mind wander

1075
00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:00,960
Speaker 7: five days from now, four days from now, three days

1076
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:04,239
Speaker 7: from now, you're just doing yourself such a disservice, and

1077
00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:06,880
Speaker 7: more importantly, you're doing your team a disservice because you

1078
00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:10,120
Speaker 7: don't want to think about outcomes. You want to think

1079
00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:13,719
Speaker 7: about doing your job and everybody else doing their job

1080
00:47:14,040 --> 00:47:16,280
Speaker 7: side by side and letting everything else take care of yourself.

1081
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:21,560
Speaker 17: Are still in the concussion protofile? How much are you,

1082
00:47:21,719 --> 00:47:23,919
Speaker 17: you know, really hoping gigging rally and and get out there.

1083
00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:25,160
Speaker 10: And help you guys out this weekend.

1084
00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:25,799
Speaker 6: Yeah.

1085
00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:27,080
Speaker 7: I think we talked a little bit after the game

1086
00:47:27,080 --> 00:47:30,040
Speaker 7: about him. He's a special player. He definitely pops off

1087
00:47:30,040 --> 00:47:31,399
Speaker 7: the screen at you and just the way he runs

1088
00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:36,359
Speaker 7: his routes and catches the football cell. I'm really rooting

1089
00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:38,440
Speaker 7: for him to get out there and help this team out.

1090
00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:39,319
Speaker 7: He's a big deal.

1091
00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:39,799
Speaker 3: Joe.

1092
00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:44,040
Speaker 25: You complete a pass fighting for nine different receivers, But

1093
00:47:44,239 --> 00:47:46,880
Speaker 25: just you know, stepping in here, what have you learned

1094
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:49,160
Speaker 25: about this group.

1095
00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:51,000
Speaker 10: Of receivers and how challenging it is?

1096
00:47:51,440 --> 00:47:55,160
Speaker 25: Is it for you how to learn that volume of

1097
00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:59,799
Speaker 25: guys and just maybe the different ways they like catching footballs.

1098
00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:04,399
Speaker 7: I think for me, ultimately, when it gets to game day,

1099
00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:06,160
Speaker 7: I'm able to kind of put that stuff aside and

1100
00:48:06,280 --> 00:48:08,840
Speaker 7: just go play in rhythm and trust the fact that

1101
00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:10,480
Speaker 7: I'm that those guys are going to be in the

1102
00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:13,600
Speaker 7: spot they are, and not stress about the fact that

1103
00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:15,319
Speaker 7: I haven't thrown to them for a ton of time.

1104
00:48:15,719 --> 00:48:17,680
Speaker 7: The thing I've learned about these guys so far is

1105
00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:20,160
Speaker 7: that they put their head down and they work and

1106
00:48:20,280 --> 00:48:24,080
Speaker 7: they're a great receiving group in that way, just wanting

1107
00:48:24,120 --> 00:48:26,799
Speaker 7: to get extra froze. And then when we when we're

1108
00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:29,439
Speaker 7: at practice, just committing to what we're doing and going

1109
00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:31,719
Speaker 7: out there and working hard at doing it. I think

1110
00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:34,000
Speaker 7: it's a really well led group. They just look they

1111
00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:36,360
Speaker 7: seem to be mature, and even though there's a handful

1112
00:48:36,400 --> 00:48:39,080
Speaker 7: of young guys in there, so I really just like

1113
00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:40,640
Speaker 7: the way they work and approach the day.

1114
00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:44,640
Speaker 9: Other things bad. You have more wins in this stadium

1115
00:48:45,040 --> 00:48:45,839
Speaker 9: than any of those.

1116
00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:50,879
Speaker 7: You're aware of that, and I'm sure you could well, yeah,

1117
00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:53,560
Speaker 7: hopefully I can. We can get another one this weekend,

1118
00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:55,920
Speaker 7: and you know, see what happens here.

1119
00:48:56,400 --> 00:49:03,360
Speaker 3: So you and Elijah obviously had a relationship prior to

1120
00:49:04,640 --> 00:49:08,800
Speaker 3: to you you get in here and on Sunday, you know,

1121
00:49:08,960 --> 00:49:11,080
Speaker 3: you turnt them like twelve times. Was that just sort

1122
00:49:11,120 --> 00:49:17,600
Speaker 3: of in the flow or how much you know, Yeah,

1123
00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:20,200
Speaker 3: it was you know listen.

1124
00:49:20,280 --> 00:49:22,359
Speaker 7: I think also when Amaro's, damn it, he gets put

1125
00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:24,480
Speaker 7: in that position, You're you're gonna be putting some spots

1126
00:49:24,480 --> 00:49:27,480
Speaker 7: where you have individuals and if you're one on one,

1127
00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:29,799
Speaker 7: you're gonna be the guy that's called on. So yeah,

1128
00:49:29,840 --> 00:49:32,000
Speaker 7: it wasn't like I was going out and targeting Elijah

1129
00:49:32,080 --> 00:49:34,400
Speaker 7: because my kids said, Hey, in New York he was

1130
00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:36,080
Speaker 7: awesome and you got to keep rowing to him.

1131
00:49:36,560 --> 00:49:36,719
Speaker 4: You know.

1132
00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:38,600
Speaker 7: It's just kind of where it took me.

1133
00:49:38,719 --> 00:49:44,480
Speaker 10: And you know, the field today with being such a

1134
00:49:44,560 --> 00:49:45,279
Speaker 10: legend and MT.

1135
00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:49,759
Speaker 21: Six, si do we do we get to see any

1136
00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:53,759
Speaker 21: like rollout plays running to You don't see any of that.

1137
00:49:54,480 --> 00:49:54,840
Speaker 7: I don't know.

1138
00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:02,240
Speaker 10: Practice today Conjacksonville.

1139
00:50:03,360 --> 00:50:04,520
Speaker 5: So he returned to practice.

1140
00:50:05,080 --> 00:50:06,760
Speaker 17: What does it you know, does that kind of ratchet

1141
00:50:06,840 --> 00:50:09,360
Speaker 17: up the you know, the intensity of the game a

1142
00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:12,000
Speaker 17: little bit, knowing that you might be going up against

1143
00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:13,520
Speaker 17: one of the best quarterbacks bring.

1144
00:50:13,400 --> 00:50:14,040
Speaker 3: Down in the us L.

1145
00:50:14,640 --> 00:50:17,680
Speaker 7: Like I said, you can't look forward to that. You

1146
00:50:17,800 --> 00:50:20,319
Speaker 7: have to stay in the moment. But credit to him.

1147
00:50:20,520 --> 00:50:22,440
Speaker 7: I mean, listen, this league is about being tough and

1148
00:50:22,520 --> 00:50:24,719
Speaker 7: showing up for your team on Sundays. So if that's

1149
00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:27,120
Speaker 7: what he's trying to do and getting out there and

1150
00:50:27,680 --> 00:50:29,520
Speaker 7: this is the this is one of the those steps

1151
00:50:29,640 --> 00:50:33,040
Speaker 7: is is going out there and practicing today. And you know,

1152
00:50:33,280 --> 00:50:35,359
Speaker 7: so that's all I would say, is it's a credit

1153
00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:37,600
Speaker 7: to him being able to get back out there and

1154
00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:39,080
Speaker 7: and show up for his team.

1155
00:50:41,480 --> 00:50:47,239
Speaker 10: How long did it's a change you need to pass on?

1156
00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:48,000
Speaker 10: My knowledge often.

1157
00:50:48,040 --> 00:50:49,040
Speaker 11: Repeats in this game.

1158
00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:50,360
Speaker 12: I don't know.

1159
00:50:50,560 --> 00:50:52,520
Speaker 7: I think there's probably times early on where you were

1160
00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:54,200
Speaker 7: able to do it really well in times where you

1161
00:50:54,320 --> 00:50:58,439
Speaker 7: just weren't. You know, it's not you know, it's something

1162
00:50:58,480 --> 00:51:01,920
Speaker 7: that you constantly have to be on and it's just

1163
00:51:02,040 --> 00:51:05,239
Speaker 7: part of that mental game and having that kind of

1164
00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:08,520
Speaker 7: like routine that you go throughout the week that keeps you,

1165
00:51:09,640 --> 00:51:12,840
Speaker 7: you know, keeps you on track. If you don't have

1166
00:51:12,880 --> 00:51:15,040
Speaker 7: a routine, then you're always gonna kind of be floating around.

1167
00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:17,960
Speaker 19: So we remember your last trip to Brown Stadium right

1168
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:20,080
Speaker 19: with the Jets, but you were here so many times

1169
00:51:20,080 --> 00:51:22,760
Speaker 19: at the Ravens. What stands out about something like, there's

1170
00:51:22,760 --> 00:51:25,239
Speaker 19: some memories from those trips that really stand out to you.

1171
00:51:26,320 --> 00:51:31,440
Speaker 7: Trying to think, I remember my I remember my rookie

1172
00:51:31,520 --> 00:51:39,040
Speaker 7: year here for whatever reason, listen the thing that playing

1173
00:51:39,040 --> 00:51:41,680
Speaker 7: in this division and coming here, you know, it's not

1174
00:51:42,360 --> 00:51:44,680
Speaker 7: an indoor stadium. It's an old school. Not an old

1175
00:51:44,719 --> 00:51:48,400
Speaker 7: school obviously, but it's a grass field outdoors. You feel

1176
00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:52,000
Speaker 7: the city of Cleveland, you usually have some kind of

1177
00:51:52,080 --> 00:51:57,000
Speaker 7: weather so you know where you are, and I don't know,

1178
00:51:57,520 --> 00:51:59,479
Speaker 7: it's definitely that's the way you like it. You smell

1179
00:51:59,560 --> 00:52:02,560
Speaker 7: the grass. He just it just feels like football. And

1180
00:52:02,680 --> 00:52:04,680
Speaker 7: that's kind of this whole division is like that to

1181
00:52:04,760 --> 00:52:10,239
Speaker 7: a certain extent. So I don't know. That's kind of

1182
00:52:10,280 --> 00:52:13,239
Speaker 7: always the stadiums that have kind of attracted, you know,

1183
00:52:13,560 --> 00:52:15,759
Speaker 7: been attractive to myself, is like when you can go

1184
00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:17,360
Speaker 7: out there and, like I said, smell the grass and

1185
00:52:17,440 --> 00:52:19,080
Speaker 7: feel like it's football weather, and that's the time of

1186
00:52:19,120 --> 00:52:20,960
Speaker 7: the year we're in. We're in December and we're in Cleveland,

1187
00:52:20,960 --> 00:52:21,799
Speaker 7: and it should be a lot of fun.

1188
00:52:24,200 --> 00:52:25,560
Speaker 6: Did you get from the five children?

1189
00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:28,279
Speaker 9: Not good.

1190
00:52:30,120 --> 00:52:32,120
Speaker 7: I think they had a good time, but they dis

1191
00:52:32,200 --> 00:52:34,879
Speaker 7: dwell and all the bad stuff. So you know, it's

1192
00:52:34,920 --> 00:52:37,520
Speaker 7: another another test that I have to just get over

1193
00:52:37,640 --> 00:52:39,399
Speaker 7: mentally and dealing with those guys.

1194
00:52:39,440 --> 00:52:41,640
Speaker 1: So wrapping up the day at the podium was Brown's

1195
00:52:41,680 --> 00:52:45,359
Speaker 1: All Pro offensive guard Joel Potonio. He talked about how

1196
00:52:45,400 --> 00:52:48,040
Speaker 1: good Jacksonville's defensive line is and how the team can

1197
00:52:48,160 --> 00:52:50,120
Speaker 1: establish a strong running game.

1198
00:52:50,160 --> 00:52:50,359
Speaker 24: Again.

1199
00:52:53,320 --> 00:52:55,879
Speaker 16: Oh, I was very happy for him. I mean, since

1200
00:52:56,080 --> 00:52:58,720
Speaker 16: since he's been here he's done so much in our community.

1201
00:52:59,480 --> 00:53:00,960
Speaker 16: Just the type of he is in the locker room,

1202
00:53:01,080 --> 00:53:03,920
Speaker 16: the leader he is. I would just say it's a

1203
00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:06,680
Speaker 16: big time award, you know, congrats and and hopefully he

1204
00:53:06,760 --> 00:53:08,319
Speaker 16: gets some votes you know out there as well.

1205
00:53:08,560 --> 00:53:11,120
Speaker 3: Joe. What's been like with the with Joe the last

1206
00:53:11,200 --> 00:53:13,719
Speaker 3: couple of books and you know, kind of getting to

1207
00:53:13,800 --> 00:53:16,160
Speaker 3: know him and then finally getting to see him in

1208
00:53:16,600 --> 00:53:17,680
Speaker 3: a game in the huddle?

1209
00:53:17,800 --> 00:53:19,000
Speaker 9: How did how did you handle them?

1210
00:53:19,640 --> 00:53:22,960
Speaker 12: Yeah, it's been good, very calm. You know, I think

1211
00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:23,719
Speaker 12: he's seen it all.

1212
00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:27,480
Speaker 16: A lot of a lot of experience, and I think

1213
00:53:27,520 --> 00:53:30,480
Speaker 16: he's picked up on offense very quickly, understands what he

1214
00:53:30,760 --> 00:53:33,480
Speaker 16: needs to do. And it was never really a doubt

1215
00:53:33,480 --> 00:53:35,759
Speaker 16: in the huddle. He was confident, had the play calls

1216
00:53:35,800 --> 00:53:37,200
Speaker 16: in and out new ar King and says all that

1217
00:53:37,280 --> 00:53:40,360
Speaker 16: stuff was very good. So a lot of things that

1218
00:53:40,400 --> 00:53:41,759
Speaker 16: you do when you used to a new quarterback, he

1219
00:53:41,840 --> 00:53:44,760
Speaker 16: kind of had down already. So it's been a good transition.

1220
00:53:44,840 --> 00:53:46,439
Speaker 12: You know, he's a good guy. It's easy to talk

1221
00:53:46,480 --> 00:53:47,320
Speaker 12: to all that stuff.

1222
00:53:47,400 --> 00:53:49,520
Speaker 16: So it's uh, you know, you see him you play

1223
00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:51,560
Speaker 16: against so many years he plays with Baltimore, He's been

1224
00:53:51,600 --> 00:53:54,320
Speaker 16: around the league and you're gonna meet him and you

1225
00:53:54,360 --> 00:53:55,759
Speaker 16: don't really truly know a guy, so you're in the

1226
00:53:55,800 --> 00:53:56,400
Speaker 16: locker room with him.

1227
00:53:57,080 --> 00:53:58,759
Speaker 9: Weird for you? Did you ever think you would be

1228
00:53:58,840 --> 00:54:00,560
Speaker 9: playing with No?

1229
00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:02,560
Speaker 12: I mean it is definitely a little bit weird.

1230
00:54:02,640 --> 00:54:05,160
Speaker 16: Like I you know, you see some of these quarterbacks

1231
00:54:05,200 --> 00:54:07,000
Speaker 16: and like even when I was coming up, you know,

1232
00:54:07,040 --> 00:54:09,000
Speaker 16: you play against like a Tom Brady or paint Man,

1233
00:54:09,080 --> 00:54:10,160
Speaker 16: and you're like, all right, when I was a kid,

1234
00:54:10,239 --> 00:54:12,680
Speaker 16: these guys were like doing big things and and this guy,

1235
00:54:12,760 --> 00:54:14,520
Speaker 16: you know, I came in the league. We're playing against Baltimore.

1236
00:54:14,600 --> 00:54:18,759
Speaker 16: He's you know when Super Bowls were having stuff and so, no,

1237
00:54:18,920 --> 00:54:21,160
Speaker 16: you don't think you're gonna play, but it's been good.

1238
00:54:21,560 --> 00:54:23,360
Speaker 10: Is you got want to sit your case study a

1239
00:54:23,440 --> 00:54:25,160
Speaker 10: freendie campus? Completely overrated?

1240
00:54:25,680 --> 00:54:29,640
Speaker 16: Yeah, paybe from I think I think some guys need

1241
00:54:29,719 --> 00:54:31,600
Speaker 16: to hit a little bit, get some position work in.

1242
00:54:31,760 --> 00:54:33,520
Speaker 16: But he said he was throwing with his brother, so

1243
00:54:33,600 --> 00:54:36,759
Speaker 16: he's he's been ready to go and hopefully we keep

1244
00:54:36,800 --> 00:54:38,279
Speaker 16: him from not getting hit too much and that.

1245
00:54:38,320 --> 00:54:40,279
Speaker 12: Way he can you know, stay healthy and we're rolling

1246
00:54:40,320 --> 00:54:40,640
Speaker 12: out there.

1247
00:54:41,200 --> 00:54:43,879
Speaker 10: Yeah, he did mention he was appreciate if the game

1248
00:54:43,960 --> 00:54:45,399
Speaker 10: wasn't very physical for the game.

1249
00:54:45,640 --> 00:54:49,960
Speaker 25: But this is a guy like him who's the tradition

1250
00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:52,480
Speaker 25: of dropped back starting quarterback.

1251
00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:54,640
Speaker 10: That make your guys, you have the jobs, you.

1252
00:54:54,680 --> 00:54:58,400
Speaker 12: Know, easier. What I wouldn't say easier, you know.

1253
00:54:58,480 --> 00:55:00,560
Speaker 16: I think our our quarterbacks that have played this year

1254
00:55:00,880 --> 00:55:03,279
Speaker 16: have given us big play opportunities and stuff. We just

1255
00:55:03,360 --> 00:55:04,880
Speaker 16: kind of know Joe's gonna be in the pocket for

1256
00:55:04,960 --> 00:55:06,400
Speaker 16: most of the time, you know, and he's gonna have

1257
00:55:06,440 --> 00:55:08,600
Speaker 16: some pocket movement. We're probably not gonn see him scramble

1258
00:55:08,600 --> 00:55:11,280
Speaker 16: around a little bit back there, but we're ready for anything.

1259
00:55:12,160 --> 00:55:12,319
Speaker 9: Yeah.

1260
00:55:12,400 --> 00:55:18,319
Speaker 3: Okay, Jacksonville's defensive line, I know, the edge guys are

1261
00:55:18,520 --> 00:55:20,960
Speaker 3: you know, are kind of where it starts.

1262
00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:26,040
Speaker 12: But overall that group general league, Yeah, they're very experienced.

1263
00:55:26,480 --> 00:55:27,200
Speaker 9: They're big, you know.

1264
00:55:27,280 --> 00:55:28,840
Speaker 16: I think they kind of go into that like Pittsburgh

1265
00:55:28,880 --> 00:55:31,560
Speaker 16: Baltimore style of like, hey, we want big guys that

1266
00:55:31,640 --> 00:55:33,560
Speaker 16: are take up gaps. They're a little bit different because

1267
00:55:33,840 --> 00:55:35,880
Speaker 16: they're not really two gappers. They're kind of penetrating a

1268
00:55:35,880 --> 00:55:38,760
Speaker 16: little bit more. But all of them a pretty talented

1269
00:55:38,760 --> 00:55:40,359
Speaker 16: and I mean if we look at him against the run,

1270
00:55:40,400 --> 00:55:42,319
Speaker 16: I think the best team in the league against the runner.

1271
00:55:42,400 --> 00:55:44,959
Speaker 16: Now are one of the best teams, and they've gotten

1272
00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:46,640
Speaker 16: after the passer really well too. They have a good

1273
00:55:46,640 --> 00:55:51,000
Speaker 16: blitz scheme. It's definitely a tough challenge up front, but

1274
00:55:51,280 --> 00:55:53,840
Speaker 16: you know a lot of respect for him, you know,

1275
00:55:54,040 --> 00:55:56,279
Speaker 16: and I think they have depth as well. And so

1276
00:55:56,360 --> 00:55:57,640
Speaker 16: they go out there and they all play hard, and

1277
00:55:57,640 --> 00:55:59,759
Speaker 16: they kind of rotate and they get guys out up

1278
00:56:00,520 --> 00:56:02,839
Speaker 16: kind of want any games.

1279
00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:06,279
Speaker 26: Places like in the first half last week and it

1280
00:56:06,640 --> 00:56:11,120
Speaker 26: wasn't up to your guys normal stands someone what do

1281
00:56:11,160 --> 00:56:11,480
Speaker 26: you have to.

1282
00:56:11,560 --> 00:56:15,000
Speaker 12: Do to make that more cos Yeah, we got to

1283
00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:16,200
Speaker 12: eliminate the negative place.

1284
00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:16,440
Speaker 9: You know.

1285
00:56:16,520 --> 00:56:18,279
Speaker 16: I think if you go out there and you have

1286
00:56:18,440 --> 00:56:20,040
Speaker 16: I think at one point we had like three or

1287
00:56:20,080 --> 00:56:24,680
Speaker 16: four negative runs in the first half, and those just hurt. Yeah,

1288
00:56:24,840 --> 00:56:26,440
Speaker 16: you know, instead of even if we can turn those

1289
00:56:26,480 --> 00:56:29,200
Speaker 16: into two yard three yard games, you're still gonna have

1290
00:56:29,239 --> 00:56:32,200
Speaker 16: a chance to to you know, produce. And I think

1291
00:56:32,239 --> 00:56:37,120
Speaker 16: when you have these negative runs, you know, it dissuades

1292
00:56:37,160 --> 00:56:39,160
Speaker 16: the play caller from calling Moore runs. So we have

1293
00:56:39,239 --> 00:56:41,160
Speaker 16: to be positive. We have to be on our details

1294
00:56:41,200 --> 00:56:44,400
Speaker 16: and understanding the assignments. You know, the places were out

1295
00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:46,640
Speaker 16: there last week. It's just really comes down to executing

1296
00:56:46,680 --> 00:56:51,919
Speaker 16: this signments chance playoffs.

1297
00:56:52,600 --> 00:56:56,200
Speaker 18: What does this mean to you this year considering obstay

1298
00:56:56,320 --> 00:56:58,600
Speaker 18: since since Week one or two that we've.

1299
00:56:58,440 --> 00:57:01,960
Speaker 16: Talked about, Yeah, it's it's been good. Guys have been

1300
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:04,759
Speaker 16: resilient this year. You know, we wanted our team to

1301
00:57:04,840 --> 00:57:07,400
Speaker 16: be as healthy as possible and we've had some unfortunate

1302
00:57:07,480 --> 00:57:09,799
Speaker 16: injuries to some very important pieces.

1303
00:57:09,480 --> 00:57:11,400
Speaker 12: But to guys credits. They've stepped up.

1304
00:57:11,480 --> 00:57:13,320
Speaker 16: And we talked about, you know, playing good football in

1305
00:57:13,360 --> 00:57:16,520
Speaker 16: December allows you to keep playing in January, and that's

1306
00:57:16,560 --> 00:57:18,200
Speaker 16: really our goal. So you know, we got we got

1307
00:57:18,240 --> 00:57:20,120
Speaker 16: an AFC battle this week where a team that's leading

1308
00:57:20,160 --> 00:57:22,520
Speaker 16: their division. It's a huge one.

1309
00:57:22,680 --> 00:57:23,760
Speaker 12: You know, we we got to try and find a

1310
00:57:23,760 --> 00:57:25,560
Speaker 12: way to go one another this week and keep that

1311
00:57:25,640 --> 00:57:26,240
Speaker 12: momentum going.

1312
00:57:26,520 --> 00:57:28,560
Speaker 10: They're run beating on the road. Where does that time done?

1313
00:57:28,920 --> 00:57:31,840
Speaker 16: It's impressive, you know, they they they've done a good

1314
00:57:31,920 --> 00:57:35,640
Speaker 16: job going on the road and beating some some good teams.

1315
00:57:35,720 --> 00:57:37,680
Speaker 16: And it's gonna be a challenge. You know, we we've

1316
00:57:37,720 --> 00:57:41,400
Speaker 16: seen them and we understand they've you know, had some

1317
00:57:41,600 --> 00:57:43,600
Speaker 16: very very quality wins this year, so it'll be a

1318
00:57:43,640 --> 00:57:44,440
Speaker 16: big challenge for us.

1319
00:57:45,480 --> 00:57:47,720
Speaker 10: Ye second Monday, not just playing the league for.

1320
00:57:49,240 --> 00:57:52,000
Speaker 16: Well, yeah, I was watching a little bit out the

1321
00:57:52,040 --> 00:57:53,720
Speaker 16: first half of the night. I went to bed, so

1322
00:57:53,720 --> 00:57:54,720
Speaker 16: I didn't see when he got hurt.

1323
00:57:55,880 --> 00:57:57,440
Speaker 25: I know it's been a couple of years, but like,

1324
00:57:57,720 --> 00:58:01,480
Speaker 25: can you guys draw on that twenty twenty Ryan, I

1325
00:58:01,600 --> 00:58:03,160
Speaker 25: get it, it was it was a weird.

1326
00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:06,440
Speaker 12: Year, but the fact that you guys were in me

1327
00:58:06,760 --> 00:58:07,520
Speaker 12: you know, yeah, you.

1328
00:58:07,560 --> 00:58:09,440
Speaker 25: Were able to win meeting for games that year and

1329
00:58:09,960 --> 00:58:11,040
Speaker 25: you're just you're.

1330
00:58:11,120 --> 00:58:11,960
Speaker 12: You're in it this year.

1331
00:58:12,240 --> 00:58:15,800
Speaker 16: Yeah, I think twenty twenty actually have some correlations in

1332
00:58:15,880 --> 00:58:19,080
Speaker 16: the resilient factor because it was so weird with COVID.

1333
00:58:19,160 --> 00:58:20,800
Speaker 16: You know, there were so many different tests and days

1334
00:58:20,800 --> 00:58:23,680
Speaker 16: we couldn't practice and things got moved and the scals

1335
00:58:23,760 --> 00:58:25,440
Speaker 16: got moved and guys were just like focus on the

1336
00:58:25,520 --> 00:58:27,560
Speaker 16: task at hand. And we've kind of tried to take

1337
00:58:27,640 --> 00:58:30,280
Speaker 16: that approach this year, and I know we have a

1338
00:58:30,360 --> 00:58:32,120
Speaker 16: lot of new guys from there, but but I think

1339
00:58:32,160 --> 00:58:34,520
Speaker 16: that approaches this very similar approach to this year and

1340
00:58:34,720 --> 00:58:35,920
Speaker 16: trying to find a way to go one to know

1341
00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:38,000
Speaker 16: this week, no matter what is happening around us.

1342
00:58:38,440 --> 00:58:41,280
Speaker 26: So it seemed like Joe was control, just kind of

1343
00:58:41,760 --> 00:58:44,480
Speaker 26: can't control the album Nobod who's doing how impresses that

1344
00:58:44,720 --> 00:58:48,840
Speaker 26: come in just seemingly know what, like you've been there

1345
00:58:48,880 --> 00:58:49,400
Speaker 26: for the whole year.

1346
00:58:49,520 --> 00:58:51,480
Speaker 12: Yeah, it was very good. I think it shows the experience,

1347
00:58:51,480 --> 00:58:52,600
Speaker 12: shows work ethic.

1348
00:58:53,880 --> 00:58:54,000
Speaker 15: You know.

1349
00:58:54,080 --> 00:58:55,840
Speaker 16: I know his five kids are at home right now,

1350
00:58:55,880 --> 00:58:58,880
Speaker 16: so he's a little bit more free time. But no,

1351
00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:01,840
Speaker 16: he's it's a testament to him. You know, we were

1352
00:59:01,840 --> 00:59:04,000
Speaker 16: in LA and he he had a chance to really

1353
00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:06,360
Speaker 16: study the playbook, and even that first week when he

1354
00:59:06,680 --> 00:59:09,800
Speaker 16: wasn't gonna play, I think you're just jumping into the book,

1355
00:59:09,840 --> 00:59:11,600
Speaker 16: and the coaches do a good job of telling him like, hey,

1356
00:59:11,640 --> 00:59:12,960
Speaker 16: this is our plan, this is what we want to do,

1357
00:59:13,640 --> 00:59:16,680
Speaker 16: and it's a testament to him and his experience in

1358
00:59:16,720 --> 00:59:17,080
Speaker 16: this league.

1359
00:59:17,200 --> 00:59:18,720
Speaker 10: Did you have to pare it down at all or

1360
00:59:18,840 --> 00:59:19,880
Speaker 10: is it pretty much?

1361
00:59:20,040 --> 00:59:20,080
Speaker 7: No?

1362
00:59:20,200 --> 00:59:21,680
Speaker 12: It felt it felt very normal.

1363
00:59:21,720 --> 00:59:23,400
Speaker 16: I don't know all the passing routes and stuff like that,

1364
00:59:23,560 --> 00:59:26,000
Speaker 16: but the run game and and the protections and stuff

1365
00:59:26,120 --> 00:59:26,840
Speaker 16: was all very.

1366
00:59:28,200 --> 00:59:28,720
Speaker 12: Very normal.

1367
00:59:30,360 --> 00:59:32,800
Speaker 1: Jels to help it all to be back at long

1368
00:59:32,880 --> 00:59:35,440
Speaker 1: now and to try and bounce back from losing two games.

1369
00:59:35,280 --> 00:59:35,880
Speaker 24: On the road like that.

1370
00:59:36,280 --> 00:59:38,440
Speaker 12: Yeah, we we love our home crowd, you know.

1371
00:59:38,480 --> 00:59:41,560
Speaker 16: I think they bring a great energy it's been fun playing,

1372
00:59:42,040 --> 00:59:44,520
Speaker 16: you know, down there this year. We got a little

1373
00:59:44,760 --> 00:59:47,760
Speaker 16: weather possibly this weekend, you know, just the way we

1374
00:59:47,960 --> 00:59:50,320
Speaker 16: like it, so it'll be uh, it'll be good, you know.

1375
00:59:50,440 --> 00:59:52,480
Speaker 16: But no, the home crowd is great and getting back

1376
00:59:52,480 --> 00:59:54,640
Speaker 16: home after that long West coast trip is is good.

1377
00:59:54,640 --> 00:59:55,920
Speaker 12: I think the energy would be good this week.
