11
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:34,240
Speaker 1: prep on the Saints today. Going forward, Uh, we've just

12
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 1: stands up the format today a little bit. I was

13
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:39,239
Speaker 1: pre playing last week in terms of being on the

14
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:40,959
Speaker 1: back end of a four game stretch going to two

15
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 1: road games, so we're working a little different in terms

16
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 1: of splitting up the day today and working on early downs.

17
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:47,599
Speaker 1: I'm as simulating on Wednesday and the morning to come

18
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 1: back in the afternoon simulate on Thursday. This is very

19
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 1: similar we did last week against Washington get ready for

20
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: the Thursday games, So kind of putting a lot in

21
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 1: the one day, get a chance to get a jump start,

22
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 1: and then we'll go ahead and push on through some

23
00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: on the field higher speed prep on Thursday, and then

24
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 1: Friday practice being Friday practice. You're talking about the Saints.

25
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: I think the biggest thing that jumps out in all

26
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 1: phases aggressive, and it starts the top with Sean. He

27
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,400
Speaker 1: does a tremendous job with the offense as far as

28
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 1: creating matchups, getting the run game going, be very creative

29
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 1: with his players. Obviously, Kamara is a guy You've got

30
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: to account for. This guy's one top players in the league.

31
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 1: He's a guy that jumps out at you all the time, receiver,

32
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: running screens, whoever it may be, it's got the ball

33
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 1: in his hands, an absolute weapon. We've got to make

34
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: sure we account for him and everything that we do

35
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: because everything that they do with him, they use number

36
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: of personnel groups. So whether it's Winston back there, Taysom Hill,

37
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 1: these guys pose a lot of problems for you. But

38
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: I think if you talk about their offense, the biggest

39
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: thing is just aggressive. You know, fringe shot type team,

40
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 1: gadget type of team, not afraid to go ahead and

41
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 1: really roll the dice and take a chance, do a

42
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: lot of inventive things that keep you on your toes.

43
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: Very sounds a team this week on defense and make

44
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 1: sure we're accounting for who's on the field and what

45
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 1: they do. You know, Carl Michael obviously does a great

46
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: job with Shawn to being there for a long time,

47
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: very good relationship turns. I'm mapping out that offense. You know,

48
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: they've kept a lot of the structure consistent to changeovers

49
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 1: a players. Obviously the biggest change would be Breeze. I say,

50
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: Winston is playing at very high level now. He's doing

51
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: a lot of good things keep them in position and

52
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: obviously winning games. You know, defensively and I think Allen

53
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: does a great job of you know, getting on you

54
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 1: and getting after you can tell about this defense start

55
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: the secondary on the back end, the corners are very

56
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,839
Speaker 1: very aggressive. They're very capable of man matching you. They're

57
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: very good in their match zones, and safeties are experienced.

58
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 1: They have good versatility as blitzers or deep field cover players.

59
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 1: They don't make a lot of mistakes. They put you

60
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: in a position you really have to execute in an upfront.

61
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: They get after you with the past rush. It starts

62
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,640
Speaker 1: on the edge or with the edge rushers, but the

63
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: inside penetrates. And again you gotta be looking for Davis

64
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 1: right there fifty six in the run in the past game,

65
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: and he's not slow to go ahead and blitz trigger

66
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: or hug up on the back if you stads of

67
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 1: protection this guy. So you have to count for it

68
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: all times. They have a lot of experience on the defense.

69
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 1: They have a lot of vet savvy. Don't make a

70
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 1: lot of mistakes. You know, in a kicking game with Riz,

71
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 1: this guy's going to go I've going against a number

72
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:47,920
Speaker 1: of times. I've learned from my experiences there, and you know,

73
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: aggressive is definitely the word it sticks out. You know,

74
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 1: it's the punt rushes, the field goal rushes, the explosive returners.

75
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 1: There's a home run type team that's always looking for

76
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 1: a big play. You've got to make sure that you're

77
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 1: executing with good fundamentals. You gotta communicate, which is obviously

78
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 1: gonna be a challenge down there all right in the Dome,

79
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: we expect one of the greatest atmospheres we've ever been

80
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: in UM. For those of us who are kind of

81
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 1: historians of the game, you look back on that Katrina game,

82
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 1: the first game back in the Dome. I would expect

83
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,679
Speaker 1: this to be very, very similar for that town takes

84
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: a lot of pride in New Orleans, a lot of

85
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: pride in their team, and a team that takes a

86
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 1: lot of pride and representing the city. So it's gonna

87
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 1: be a tough game. Force. It's a very good opponent,

88
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 1: very well coached. They execute a lot of explosive schemes

89
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: and players. We have to have a good week of

90
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,359
Speaker 1: prep and it starts today that being set of opening

91
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 1: the questions you may have. So when you're going against

92
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 1: a team that's as aggressive as they are, do you

93
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 1: look at your philosophy and say, you know what, we

94
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: have to match their aggressiveness or do you take the

95
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: opposite approach. I think you have to be aggressive and

96
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: how you do things as a team all the time.

97
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: I think it's aggressive in terms of your fundamentals and

98
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: within the flow of the game. Aggressive doesn't mean going

99
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: out there and throwing haymakers every play and doing foolish

100
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: things that takes you out of the flow of the game.

101
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: You know, the first thing you have to do go

102
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: down and playing against a team like this is it

103
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: starts with good fundamentals. You've got to go down there

104
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: and execute your techniques to give you a chance what

105
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: a lot of teams do. Against a team like the Saints,

106
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: You're in the heat and environment, it's allowed, there's a

107
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: lot of energy. They have explosive players. A lot of

108
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: times you have a tendency, maybe as a coach with

109
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: a call you make or a player to go out

110
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 1: there and do something outside yourself and now a sudden

111
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: instead of worrying about just what's my responsibility on this

112
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 1: play and what technique funnels are to execute with, you

113
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:17,840
Speaker 1: do something that has a breakdown that and that's when

114
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: they really exposure. If you go ahead and see Kamara

115
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 1: with the ball in his hands and you think I

116
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 1: just gotta get him on the ground and you're going

117
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:24,359
Speaker 1: for a big hit, or you just think about, you know,

118
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 1: not getting beat. You're not thinking about keeping your feet

119
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,600
Speaker 1: under your body, scalping and holding your leverage, making the tackle,

120
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 1: keeping your eyes up see what you hit. And those

121
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: are really the things you've got to think about, you know,

122
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 1: on every play it starts with good fundamentals, and we've

123
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 1: got to bring everything back to what's my job on

124
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 1: this play, what's my key, my assignment, my fundamentals, and

125
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: I gotta focus on executing my job with the right fundamentals.

126
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,279
Speaker 1: We do that you have a chance, Joan Is said

127
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: today's practice, it was pre planning to go shorter. How

128
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 1: much input from the players is there on what you

129
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 1: guys are doing practice wise? If you heard any complaints

130
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 1: but too much conditioning, too much running? No, not outside

131
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 1: of you guys. Um, but I would say this in

132
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: terms of, you know, our fullaw see for this program

133
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 1: and what we do. Uh. Look, how to emphasize what

134
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 1: I've said all along with this, This is not an

135
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: experimental program. This is a time tested program that's worked,

136
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: and I've been a part of on multiple levels, whether

137
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,600
Speaker 1: it was an collegiate level all right or the professional level.

138
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 1: I've been a part of this with great success. Not

139
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,160
Speaker 1: only has been a program that's had success, it's been

140
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 1: a program that's kept players healthy. There's a time where

141
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:22,160
Speaker 1: the oldest team in the league and also the healthies

142
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 1: team in the league for a duration several years. You know,

143
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 1: you look back in terms of what we did, you know,

144
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: in terms of last week's practice, specifically which our next

145
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 1: question is gonna be about. Uh, Actually, last week's practice

146
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:33,039
Speaker 1: was a little bit less than we've done in the past.

147
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 1: All right, it's basically the base same format of what

148
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: we've done on Wednesdays and Thursday practices in the past. Uh,

149
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 1: we've pulled back a little bit. We work very hand

150
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 1: in hand with our medical department, our sports science department,

151
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 1: make sure we keep monitors on individual players, what their

152
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: individual loads are. We're very specific in terms of what

153
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 1: we do with our guys on a daily basis and

154
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:53,479
Speaker 1: making sure we keep tabs and where they're at in

155
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 1: terms of how we train our players with the instance

156
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: of number one, keeping them healthy. You know, you go

157
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: back to you know, soft tissue injuries and two thous

158
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,599
Speaker 1: and twenty. You know, look, it was the lowest organization

159
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: that's had in previous years previous three seasons are hamstring

160
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 1: injuries last year specifically, alright, we're half the league average

161
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 1: last year when we look at selft tissue injuries you

162
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 1: know around the league. Last year, you know, are reduced

163
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 1: time of miss injuries. All right, while the NFL average

164
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 1: went up, we reduced it by previous years. Okay, you

165
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 1: talk about in terms of misstime and practice, we had

166
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: the second fewest miss practices in the NFL. Last year

167
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 1: the third fewest miss games excluding the i R all right,

168
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 1: and among the fewest players last year to go to

169
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 1: IUR that didn't return. Translation, our guys are healthy enough

170
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,840
Speaker 1: to return after missing some time. You have to s on.

171
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 1: Our program starts a player health all the time. That's it,

172
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: point blank. These are things we explain our players in

173
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 1: the spring in training camp, and we reinforced throughout the season.

174
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: All right, Simply put, high speed training is necessary to

175
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,599
Speaker 1: avoid seft tissue injuries. Okay, Now there's things that happened,

176
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: and we look back and we examine everything that happens

177
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,360
Speaker 1: with any injury, whether it's a collision injury, whether it's

178
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 1: a non contact injury like Blake had the other day,

179
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: or maybe something soft tissue. But we look through that

180
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 1: all the time and dissect that. So in terms of

181
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: the questions of how we're practicing or what we're doing, um, look,

182
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 1: the volumes of practice last week not only were nothing new,

183
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 1: they were actually a little bit less than they were

184
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 1: in the past in terms of specifically to the condition

185
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: you ask about. Yeah, actually, the only thing I did

186
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 1: differently conditioning last week was I didn't condition on Thursday.

187
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: You know, maybe that was a mistake. So Joe Joe,

188
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: two games, losing at the whistle or the buzz or

189
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 1: whatever you want to say, How do you teach a

190
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:30,239
Speaker 1: team to win? It's not as simple as it sounds.

191
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: But is there an answer? Yeah, we stress on the

192
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 1: fund meals and every play and you talk about the

193
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 1: finish of the game. So you gotta finish the game

194
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 1: out right, But when does that happen. It happens in

195
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 1: the first fifty nine minutes and fifty nine seconds. It's

196
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 1: not on that last second right there. Okay, So we've

197
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 1: gotta put ourselves in position to make the plays that

198
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: come our way. We gotta put our players in the

199
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 1: right call, make sure we're on the same page, and

200
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 1: we have to execute for sixty minutes. That that's really

201
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 1: the whole thing in terms of the narrative of you know,

202
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 1: how do you win? You gotta stop from losing. Number one.

203
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 1: You gotta cut out the mistakes that keep you from

204
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 1: being successful and turnovers, mental errors, penalties, You've got to

205
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 1: cut those things out. When you eliminate those things that

206
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: slow your opportunities for having success, all of a sudden

207
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 1: you find yourself in the right position. So when you

208
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 1: come back to this right here, and we talked to

209
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 1: our players every week. You know what's the truth. The

210
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 1: truth is what's on tape. We can watch and see

211
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 1: things we've done well, and we can watch and see

212
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 1: things that we have to go ahead and we have

213
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: to correct as a team. And until you get those

214
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 1: things corrected as a team, you're not gonna have the

215
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 1: opportunities for success that you should have. So close isn't

216
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 1: good enough, You're not We're not playing your horse shoes

217
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 1: or handgarnades. We have to have results. We understand that

218
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: it's production business and we're going every week for success,

219
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 1: and success in this league is winning, right, But we

220
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 1: have to understand, you know, when we put ourselves in

221
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,719
Speaker 1: positions for these games, what's ultimately the difference at the

222
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 1: end of the game. And it doesn't come down that

223
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 1: last play. It's a series of you could say sometimes

224
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 1: it's four or five, seven time, whatever it is placed

225
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: throughout the game. You have to look at say these

226
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 1: were really the plays that stopped us early to preventing

227
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,319
Speaker 1: us late from having success. So to me, it's fundamentals

228
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 1: from your opening whistle to the end of the game.

229
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: For you, well, yes, you by Jason Garrett on mundaneous

230
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 1: and did you wanted to stay the course before making

231
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: any radical changes? And not just in relation to him.

232
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,079
Speaker 1: Where's the line for you as a coach between wanting

233
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 1: to stay the course and keep teaching the fundamentals and

234
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 1: everything and feeling the need to make radical changes to

235
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 1: save us. I know the right things are being taught,

236
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: that we're playing with good fundamentals, we're putting our players

237
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 1: in the position to be successful. Then I don't see

238
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 1: a reason to change over coaching. But there's things that

239
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:22,679
Speaker 1: tie in. We have to make sure on the same

240
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:24,719
Speaker 1: page all the time. Look to our players all time.

241
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:26,599
Speaker 1: The first person I look at post games myself in

242
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: the mirror. I start with things I did. Decision I made,

243
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 1: How did we execute practice star out the week? What

244
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 1: schemes did I allowed to be kept in the game plan?

245
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:35,439
Speaker 1: What did I allow to be called in certain situations?

246
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 1: How did I manage the time and the situation throughout

247
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 1: the course of the end of the half, end of

248
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 1: the game. That starts with me, and then it goes

249
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:44,199
Speaker 1: into coordinators, the position coaches. Then we get to the players.

250
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 1: I want to make sure that they're all in the

251
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:47,719
Speaker 1: right place before we start getting down to players right there.

252
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 1: But in terms of you know, making any kind of

253
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: radical changes, like, look, we've got to correct some things

254
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 1: internally and fundamentally and give ourselves chance for success. And

255
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 1: that's we're focus on right now. When your offense is

256
00:09:58,480 --> 00:09:59,959
Speaker 1: struggling to score, I know you want to play the

257
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,079
Speaker 1: field position game, but don't you think it might make

258
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 1: more sense to go for it on these four galls

259
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 1: inside the forty and give them more of a chance

260
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 1: to score a touchdown rather than playing the field position

261
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 1: game there? Like do you rethink that? Do I go

262
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:14,719
Speaker 1: through every situation and think about what have I done

263
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 1: something differently? How would have worked? Absolutely? Always kind of

264
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 1: played that side specifically the one you asked about this

265
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: week in the game, we're on the thirty nine yard line,

266
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 1: fourth and fourth situation. We pointed me down the ball

267
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,719
Speaker 1: inside the five. Yet to me in that situation right there,

268
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: that's something that sometimes may have Graham kick field goal

269
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 1: with the wind the other day, that wasn't gonna be

270
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 1: the case because of the hard cross win right there

271
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 1: just wasn't high percentage. And when you give them the

272
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 1: ball to midfield, obviously they've already made an advantage. There

273
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:38,680
Speaker 1: was a large part of the first half. We played

274
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:40,719
Speaker 1: the half on our side of the fifty before we

275
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,079
Speaker 1: start getting drives gone. All right, we got to point

276
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 1: in the second half. I was pleasing how the defense

277
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:46,319
Speaker 1: was playing. I felt they were in control of the

278
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 1: game with their offenses moving ball effectively. At that time.

279
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:50,839
Speaker 1: There was wind at our back, so it would have

280
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 1: been in their face for the next drive. We puinned

281
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:54,320
Speaker 1: the ball down there, we down that we we wanted

282
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,440
Speaker 1: to inside the five yard line. We've got to stand

283
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 1: up on defense, hold the field position, forcing the pump

284
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 1: with the wind in their face, and then capitalize on

285
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 1: good field position. As an offense, so you can sometimes

286
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 1: go ahead and be overly aggressive and swing for the fences,

287
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:06,959
Speaker 1: but you gotta trust and play to your kicking game

288
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 1: and your defense as well, and they do their job.

289
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:10,680
Speaker 1: The offense gets a whole another swing in the bat

290
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:12,679
Speaker 1: right there to be in field position for four more

291
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,079
Speaker 1: downs as opposed to just having one more down or

292
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 1: maybe they have the Bault midfield. You're saying, there are

293
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 1: situations where you would consider going for it there. You're

294
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 1: just playing in situation like case by case. Yeah, to me,

295
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: it's the flow of the game. Pad if you kind

296
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 1: of look back to a lot of decisions I made

297
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 1: as head coach, I'm not afraid to go for it

298
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 1: on fourth down. Okay, I have reference. Sometimes you know,

299
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,439
Speaker 1: we've gone for it to be over aggressive. At times

300
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:32,679
Speaker 1: We've been successful a lot of fourth downs around here.

301
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 1: I'm not afraid to go from fork, and I'm not

302
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 1: afraid to go for it on too. I'm not afraid

303
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 1: to run fakes on sidekicks like. Trust me, I don't

304
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 1: live in the world of fear. I don't, but I

305
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 1: got to make sure that every decision I make is

306
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 1: calculated put the team in position for success. So there's

307
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 1: times I want to build my chest out and say like,

308
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:48,959
Speaker 1: all right, here we go, We're going for this one

309
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: right here. That's not always the best thing for the team.

310
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 1: So sometimes you get call up in the emotion all right,

311
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: which normally when you do that and you move the

312
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 1: logic and thinking that you went in the game and

313
00:11:57,720 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: the flow of the game with you only make the

314
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 1: wrong decision right there. So to me, in those moments

315
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 1: right there, I've got a couple of people I talked

316
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:04,839
Speaker 1: to in terms of just kind of you know, hey,

317
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 1: here's the situation. I'm thinking A or B. Let's think

318
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,560
Speaker 1: of the consequences of this right here. It could be

319
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 1: really really good. Doesn't put our team in a disadvantage

320
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 1: if it goes wrong? Okay, Now, like I don't live

321
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 1: in the world of fear of Okay, if it doesn't

322
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 1: go right, what's it gonna look like? But I gotta

323
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:19,560
Speaker 1: live in the world of trust of I can put

324
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 1: our defense down there to play from inside the five

325
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: yard line, and I trust that they're gonna keep those

326
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 1: guys down there. We're gonna get the ball back in

327
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 1: positive field position and go make a play, move the

328
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 1: ball away. But the analytics and where just a factor

329
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 1: in for you in regards to those decisions making. The

330
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 1: analytics is just a tool. It's nice to look at

331
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: the numbers and how they go through the flow of

332
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,559
Speaker 1: the game, But the analytics changes based on the opponent,

333
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 1: based on who you have available for the game, and

334
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 1: how the flow the games going to. You can look

335
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 1: at a statute all you want, I promise you, if

336
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 1: if XL was gonna win football games, Bill Gates be

337
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 1: killing it right now. Okay, But you know you've got

338
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 1: to take those numbers as a tool, and then you've

339
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 1: got to go and factor and how your team is

340
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 1: playing at the time and what the opponent has as well.

341
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 1: You gotta measure your strengths and weaknesses against the opponent

342
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 1: every time. And then also in terms of the flow

343
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 1: of the game. Wait, since you were talking about the

344
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 1: injuries and stuff, Howard Slayton chep Reticon's hand, can you

345
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 1: give us an update on that. We'll kind of get

346
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 1: a better field today. Um, I would say, you know,

347
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 1: obviously takes a walk through. If this is a full

348
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 1: speed day, we wouldn't see these guys in full speed action.

349
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 1: We have a little bit more time going into the

350
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 1: game and stuff like that. We'll see where they are

351
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:22,080
Speaker 1: coming out today and how tomorrow looks. Right there, correct

352
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: me if I'm wrong here. I think I saw Isaiah

353
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 1: Wilson coming back into the building this morning. Um. If

354
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 1: you guys are bringing him in, what makes you think

355
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 1: that you could kind of get him on the straight

356
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 1: and narrow when other organizations have not. Well, I'd say

357
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 1: two things. One, I'm not going to comment specifically on

358
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 1: any transactions until they're completed happened, um, but look to

359
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 1: comment on on your question right there in terms of

360
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 1: just dealing with players in terms of how we can

361
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 1: help develop them. Look, I'll be honest with you. I

362
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 1: have a lot of trust and the staff we have

363
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 1: here have a lot of trust in support we have.

364
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 1: You have a lot of trust in the program we

365
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 1: have here to put people in a position to be successful.

366
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 1: I don't think it's a blanket of you know what

367
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 1: someone else has done with someone has the time to

368
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 1: you know, how they do successfully for you. I think

369
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: there's a point in time that everybody needs a fresh start,

370
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 1: you know. And I think that if you treat everyone

371
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:10,439
Speaker 1: an individual basis and understand the person and you address

372
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: them as a person in terms of what's best for

373
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 1: that guy to help them get on there straight and narrow,

374
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 1: then they have a chance for success. So and that's

375
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 1: not directed directly to the one you asked, but that's

376
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 1: just in general period. So when it comes down to,

377
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 1: you know, whether it's a draft of free agency, and

378
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 1: it always comes up people ask got personalities and things

379
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 1: like I'll tell right now, like I say it all

380
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 1: time in there, I tell John until Dave, I tell

381
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 1: them all the time. I got no problem personalities. A

382
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 1: lot of people don't like my personality, Okay, I have

383
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 1: no problem personality. I can deal with pretty much anything.

384
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 1: I gotta collective group of friends, okay, from all different

385
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 1: walks of life, So I can pretty much deal with

386
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 1: anybody as long as they're themselves, they're honest, and in

387
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 1: this and in this setting right here, that they love football.

388
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 1: So if you meet those three things, if you're an

389
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: honest person, you're gonna be yourself in a daily basis,

390
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 1: and you love football, yeah, I'll be able to deal
