1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,560
Speaker 1: Moving on to this week with the Texans. UM, a

2
00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:08,039
Speaker 1: team that really has a some unique pieces to their

3
00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 1: run game where you're gonna see both quarterback underneae center

4
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 1: handing the ball off, some point of attack runs, some

5
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:18,279
Speaker 1: pole plays with a quarterback underneae center. Then you're gonna

6
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:21,120
Speaker 1: see a series of runs reason shotgun and there might

7
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:23,439
Speaker 1: be a fast motion of motion back behind the line

8
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 1: of scrimmage, UM creating you know, the read option type

9
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,640
Speaker 1: scheme runs and at times there's gonna be poll plays

10
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:35,600
Speaker 1: involved in that. UM. We're gonna have to play disciplined football, UM,

11
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:38,839
Speaker 1: both with the motions and with the responsibilities and his

12
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 1: own read stuff. That's been certainly a point of mpsis

13
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:45,200
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks. And you know, I'm sure

14
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 1: the question is gonna come up, UM of handling the

15
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:50,159
Speaker 1: ZWN read stuff for the last couple of weeks. You

16
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 1: know that that starts with me, I gotta coach it

17
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: better and then collectively as a group, we got to

18
00:00:55,160 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 1: execute better. UM. There's no magic pixie dust to sprinkle

19
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 1: on it, nothing like that. It is coach it better

20
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 1: and execute it better. And that's that's a very simple

21
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 1: solution to be very honest with you. UM, this game,

22
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to do those things well to put

23
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 1: our put ourselves in positions on some second downs, Um,

24
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 1: to be in good position, uh with the sticks. Then

25
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 1: on third down to be in good position with the six.

26
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 1: Then the past game, you know, two very dynamic players

27
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: on the perimeter. Um. You know you saw Fuller last

28
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,399
Speaker 1: week had had a really really great game to compliment

29
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,320
Speaker 1: uh ten, and UM, they're gonna max you up. They're

30
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 1: gonna push the ball vertically down the field. They're gonna

31
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 1: take some shots. Um, then they're gonna have some routes

32
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 1: where there there. We know that Ten's gonna try to

33
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,320
Speaker 1: get some targets and get him the ball and get

34
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: him early. So UM, great challenge. I think our guys

35
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: have had a good day of practice yesterday, had good

36
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: meetings this morning. We just had a really good walk

37
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: through and UM, like they're really excited to keep grinding

38
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: and keep working and keep and keep getting better on defense.

39
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: This is really the first chance we had to talk

40
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: to you about the receiver that you wuld identified like topics,

41
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: What is your philosophy when it comes to a guy

42
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:17,239
Speaker 1: like Jack Rabbit In the past has traveled with guys.

43
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 1: Oh absolutely, when you know, um, fortunate in Arizona we

44
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 1: had Patrick, he had a chance. You know, fortune blessed

45
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 1: to be here when you have two corners on the

46
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 1: perimeter that are that are really good corners and players

47
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: and um, you know, Eli will see by the end

48
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: of the week where he's at. Um. But you know,

49
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,679
Speaker 1: Jen Norris is a special player. He's one of the

50
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 1: best corners in this league. And there's no question about that. Um.

51
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: You know, does does he want the deep ball back? Sure? Um,

52
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: but guess what plays happened in games. And I've been

53
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 1: around great corner before. It's given up a play before.

54
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: So UM, don't have any question about if that matchup

55
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:55,639
Speaker 1: happens and they happen to be on each other in

56
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 1: this game, they're gonna go compete and and fight and

57
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 1: scrap and and be the player that be the player

58
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: he is. And you know, you just gotta be aware

59
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: of where ten is. You know, you've gotta be aware

60
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 1: of where he is on the field. And that's whether

61
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: Genera's on him or whether anybody else ends up on

62
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: how much of a balancing actis between want to for

63
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: pressure on Watson but also being aware that he can,

64
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: you know, convade the rush and make big plays. Sure

65
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,919
Speaker 1: you know, and we really face those that same type

66
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: of a quarterback the last two weeks and Russia. Lane

67
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: integrity is very important. Do you want to be aggressive

68
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: whether you're pressuring or whether you're rushing for but you

69
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: have to be sound with who's closing the middle pocket

70
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: lanes where he likes to escape and rushes he hasn't

71
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: He he hasn't I think by the numbers he has

72
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 1: and I think most of his rushes I think have

73
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: actually been maybe more scrambles than actually maybe when you

74
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: say zone reed keeps or option keeps um and maybe

75
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: that's just the way the option played out. But I

76
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: don't think you can defend that series of run thinking

77
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: and saying that he's not going to carry the ball

78
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: and not not have accountability for the quarterback. So again

79
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: that this comes into you know, we have to just

80
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 1: be disciplined with what our job is in regards to

81
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: that you have. I mean, I don't know if you

82
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: have a spy in your play, but anything like that,

83
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: but I mean, is that something you can sider? I

84
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: think you each and every week you always that's a

85
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: great question because you always consider everything every week. But UM,

86
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 1: I know one thing. If if you sit back and

87
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 1: you only rush to kind of three guys, um, and

88
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 1: you spy with one and then you're then all of

89
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: a sudden, two guys get double teams or three guys

90
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:33,600
Speaker 1: get doubled, and um, the ball is held, then the

91
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: coverage breaks down at some point in time time, every

92
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: coverage will break down the longer the quarterback holds the ball.

93
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 1: So there's there's a give and take when you do that.

94
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 1: You even admittedly said you know you had trouble with

95
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: your own reading rightly, what do you do? How do

96
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 1: you fix it at this point? What do you're able

97
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 1: to do during the season. They try to brought it

98
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 1: more practice to go back. I think anything you have

99
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 1: issues with it all starts in the meeting room. We

100
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 1: go in and we continue to grind end out the tape,

101
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: continue to correct it in the meeting room. And UM,

102
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,280
Speaker 1: I know that's not a flashy answer, but that's the truth. Um,

103
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: there's a process to getting things right, and you follow

104
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 1: the process that's going to meeting room, continue to correct it,

105
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:14,840
Speaker 1: continue to talk about it, go on the practice field,

106
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 1: walk it through, go out and execute and practice, come

107
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 1: in and watch that tape of it, and you do

108
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 1: that day in and day out, and that's how that's

109
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 1: how you get better. That's how you get better as

110
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 1: a player, That's how you improves a coach, that's how

111
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 1: your scheme improves, and ultimately that's how you play better

112
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 1: on Sundays. I think a lot of his story with

113
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 1: this defense, that Landing is going to be making a

114
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 1: lot of impact plates What have you seen from him?

115
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: I guess so far? And is there It seems like

116
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,599
Speaker 1: there's room for more. Sure, I think every player on

117
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: the field has a room for improvement. There's no one

118
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 1: that's you know, there isn't a highlight around Landing and

119
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: what he needs to do or doesn't need to do.

120
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 1: Landing just needs to stay within his box and keep

121
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 1: keep working to do his job and improve each and

122
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 1: every week, just like the other ten guys that are

123
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: on the field with him. Just running back to what

124
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,359
Speaker 1: Jordinate asked about this rings in the process to correct

125
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,720
Speaker 1: and right you disappointed and what happened against Dallas after

126
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 1: black portals come throos on that big Runing were one

127
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,359
Speaker 1: that maybe the correct anytime, you know, whether it was

128
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: the zone read plays or whether it was when the

129
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: quarterback was underneath center and they ran the inside zone

130
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 1: that went for twenty I'm disappointed on both in plays equally. Um,

131
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,720
Speaker 1: we can't allow big runs and we had two opportunities.

132
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 1: You go back to Jacksonville. We give up a big

133
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 1: run backed up. That's points on the scoreboard and tight games.

134
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 1: And we know that defensively, and that's why that is

135
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 1: is a very big point of empas. It's a point

136
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: of empass every week, you know. I think stopping the

137
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,839
Speaker 1: run is that's what we talked about and that's what

138
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 1: we got to build ourselves on. And we've we've faced

139
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 1: now three times in a row, we faced really good

140
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 1: run teams, and we haven't played as well as we

141
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,599
Speaker 1: need to play. And we're just gonna keep grinding and

142
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:50,599
Speaker 1: keep working and follow the process because the process works.

143
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 1: You've been hit. You've been hit the first two games

144
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 1: in the first series, one of being a touchdown. Snacks

145
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 1: mentioned something about maybe he thinks guys always thinking a

146
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 1: little bit. Can you talk about that? Yeah, Um, you know,

147
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:09,280
Speaker 1: whether it's overthinking or eyes in the wrong place or um,

148
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 1: shoot a better call, all those things are things that

149
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 1: we consider each and every week,
