1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,840
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you about the screen passing game

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:07,800
Speaker 1: and um, how you feel it's come along this year

3
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:12,160
Speaker 1: and how effective a tool it is and how important

4
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:16,239
Speaker 1: it is to your play calling and complimenting UM you

5
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:22,759
Speaker 1: know longer passing game. Yeah, I think, UM, you know,

6
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 1: screens are an interesting scheme. UM you know when you

7
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:33,160
Speaker 1: consider them each week, UM, you certainly want to take

8
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:39,559
Speaker 1: into consideration, UM you know, the style of play that

9
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:45,479
Speaker 1: the defense uses in terms of their rush and and

10
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:50,880
Speaker 1: their ability to feel the screen and play the screen

11
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 1: the way they want to. UM. Certain teams are better

12
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 1: to use them against than others. There's a lot of

13
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 1: different reasons for for trying to use some of those things.

14
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 1: But UM, I think we have Uh you know, we've

15
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,119
Speaker 1: worked hard on those. We've always tried to to to

16
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:13,199
Speaker 1: work hard at that part of our game. UM. Here,

17
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: I think Dante's uh does a tremendous job of of

18
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: working and coaching the linement. UM, you know to do

19
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 1: the things that we need to do to get out

20
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 1: the same thing with Ivan and in the backs, UM

21
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,960
Speaker 1: you know, when we have, um, you know, an opportunity

22
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: to do that. There's a lot of little things that

23
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 1: go into the back getting out on a screenplay and

24
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:39,040
Speaker 1: helping it be successful. And and then certainly the quarterback.

25
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: You know, there's there's an element of um deception and

26
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 1: UM you try to not give away your intentions as

27
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 1: much as you can, so um, you know, some some

28
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 1: weeks are are better than others to to use them

29
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: some weeks UM, and not all of them are called

30
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 1: you know sometimes you know, they get checked into and

31
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,559
Speaker 1: and based on specific looks and those types of things,

32
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: and UM, and screenplayers have always been to some degree

33
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 1: a little bit of outhouse or castle because by by

34
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,239
Speaker 1: the nature of the design and the call, you're you're

35
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: throwing the ball to one player if there's only one

36
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: option on the play, and you know, so uh you

37
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: know you're limited in terms of what you can do

38
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: if for some reason, um, the screen player is covered

39
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: or doesn't get out or what have you. So UM,

40
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,639
Speaker 1: you know, you certainly got to be selective with how

41
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: you use them, who you use them against, and what

42
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: you do. And I think we have good screen players

43
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: both in terms of the runners and receivers that they

44
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 1: catch those and then we have good screen linemen and UM,

45
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 1: and we're going to continue to work at it to

46
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 1: try to get better at that part of our game

47
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: like we do the rest of it. Can really quick on.

48
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: A follow up to that is a screen game usually

49
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 1: something that is in response to what the defense is showing.

50
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: Or do you ever go to a sum no matter

51
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: what as a part of trying to implement it as

52
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,359
Speaker 1: part of your offensive game plan if you follow it?

53
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: Am saying, Um, can you ask that again? So what

54
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 1: I what I'm saying, I guess, Josh, is will you

55
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: ever call it screen no matter what the defense is showing?

56
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: Or is it always in response to the defense? Um? Well,

57
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:28,799
Speaker 1: I think you you certainly could. We've done that, um.

58
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 1: But at the same time, we look are the I'd

59
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: say the foundation of our offensive system is to try

60
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: to eliminate bad plays, um, and move the ball forward

61
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: each time we snap it. So if we have an

62
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: obvious bad look or some kind of uh, you know,

63
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: structure on the defense that is telling us we're going

64
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 1: to have a you know, very slim chance of having success,

65
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 1: and we we usually try to avoid those as best

66
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: we can. But you know, there's definitely some that you

67
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: call and some that you have part of a package

68
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: or what have you. But there's a lot of ways

69
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: to call great. Thanks Josh. Next question to be events

70
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: are followed by Mike Quis. Hey, Josh, I wanted to

71
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: ask you about Josh Gordon actually and just on Sunday.

72
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: Would you say that his lack of targets early in

73
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 1: the game was just a game clothing or um was

74
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: there maybe more of a game plan specific thing to

75
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: maybe save some of those until later in the game. Yeah,

76
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 1: the um, he's you know, Josh is doing doing well,

77
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 1: you know, working hard, improving each week in practice. Um,

78
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 1: anytime we go into a game, you know, the you know,

79
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: there's no predetermined um, um, you know target on each play.

80
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 1: I mean we have a lot of guys that are

81
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:05,279
Speaker 1: out in each pattern. Um. Sometimes the coverage takes away

82
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: certain parts of the play and the ball goes somewhere else.

83
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,119
Speaker 1: And sometimes we have multiple people open on a play,

84
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 1: but the ball can only go to one of them. UM.

85
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 1: So UM, I don't, Like I said, I don't. I

86
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 1: don't worry too much about those types of things as

87
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: long as we're doing the right things and following, you know,

88
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 1: the process that we want to follow in the passing game,

89
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: which is to you know, protect the quarterback and you know,

90
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 1: Tommy read the ball, read the play out based on

91
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: the different coverage looks we get and and then go

92
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,479
Speaker 1: to the right place with it, which he almost every

93
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 1: every time does. Um. You know, which is a is

94
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 1: a great strength of ours. So um. You know, sometimes

95
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: guys get targeted and there's a flurry of them. Sometimes

96
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: there's a little bit of a roll. Um, but you know,

97
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,039
Speaker 1: you're just trying to make sure that we're moving the

98
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 1: ball forward. And you know, like I said, most of

99
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 1: our pass game, you know, we have multiple people out

100
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,080
Speaker 1: in the pattern, and it's in a lot of it

101
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: is based on what the defense does. And the other

102
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: night they chose to play a lot of split safety's

103
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 1: own and take away some things on the outside of

104
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 1: the field. It opened up some other things. And then

105
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: they they change some of that up and played some

106
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,839
Speaker 1: other coverages that gave us some other things. So that's

107
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 1: that's what happens when you play a good defense. And

108
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,039
Speaker 1: I thought he was very patient, did his job and

109
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,280
Speaker 1: waited for his opportunities and made the most of them.

110
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 1: Money got him. Thanks. If I could just fall up

111
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:32,039
Speaker 1: real quick. You mentioned tom making good decisions. Seemed like

112
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: he just kind of gave what the defense was given

113
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 1: him a lot, especially earlier in that game. How good

114
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 1: is he had just kind of remaining patient and not

115
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 1: forcing the ball downfield. He's he's excellent. Um. You know,

116
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 1: he's obviously times, you know, really good in a lot

117
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: of areas. And that's certainly one that you know that

118
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 1: he's always prided himself on. And UM, look, in in

119
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,839
Speaker 1: our league, the defense is the personnel on defense. The

120
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: coaches on the other side, I mean, they're all you know,

121
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: they're pretty damn good each week, and they have a

122
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 1: plan they want to try to you know, they want

123
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: to try to take certain things away from you based

124
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: on what they call each each each play, UM. And

125
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: one of the biggest mistakes you can make is is uh,

126
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 1: you know, uh, not really concerning yourself with those things

127
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 1: and just trying to force the ball into different places.

128
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: So we try to be disciplined, um, and and read

129
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 1: it out each each time. We have a lot of

130
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: guys that can make plays in the passing game, and

131
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 1: many times we're at our best when we just distribute

132
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 1: the ball to the right guy and he does his

133
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 1: job and gets open and and then he does something

134
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: good with the football. So, UM, you know, the other night.

135
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: I thought Timmy did a good job of that. Thanks

136
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:03,239
Speaker 1: Josh M. Next question is Mike Reees, followed by Ryan Hannibal.

137
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 1: Thanks Stecum, Josh, I did want to ask you, now

138
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 1: that you have a quarterback with a thousand yards career rushing,

139
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 1: is this sort of the time wish starts to enter

140
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 1: your your line of things. Yeah, now we've got to

141
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 1: make sure we don't go backwards. You know, he finally

142
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: got his uh, he finally got his milestone, and now

143
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 1: we we just got to make sure we don't have

144
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 1: to continue to cross the threshold down the road. So

145
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 1: that was kind of cool. We've been talking about that.

146
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,439
Speaker 1: That's kind of been an inside joke in the quarterback

147
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 1: room for a while, and um, you know, we've we've

148
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 1: realized how close he was. Uh And amazingly enough, as

149
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 1: much as he doesn't get heralded as a runner, um,

150
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 1: you know, his his production as a runner has been

151
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 1: really really remarkable. Um, not only in you know, sneaking

152
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 1: the ball and shortyarded situations or goal line or what

153
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: have you, but also in being able to step up

154
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,680
Speaker 1: and make some timely runs. So um, you know, took

155
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,439
Speaker 1: a while, but I'm sure he would. He would tell

156
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 1: you that all of those runs and in each one

157
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 1: of those yards was probably pretty pretty dog on important

158
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: to the to the series that we were in. Josh

159
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:21,320
Speaker 1: just I was sort of joking on the wishbone thing, obviously,

160
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 1: but the question I had just a two parter on

161
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 1: two different topics, just to keep the call moving. You

162
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 1: get the Dolphins coming up, um, so just sort of

163
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 1: curious where you see them stressing you guys. And I

164
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 1: did want to ask you about run Kowski and just

165
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 1: sort of how you're you know, what you're seeing from

166
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 1: him upon his return the last couple of games. Um,

167
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 1: you know, after he had missed some time. M Um.

168
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 1: Well the Dolphins, Um, this is uh, it's a big

169
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 1: challenge down there. Um. You know. One, this is a

170
00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 1: team that you know plays extremely well at home. Um,

171
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 1: we haven't played well down there, coached well down there.

172
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 1: I can speak for myself on that, um. Um, and

173
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: we have a big challenge to go down there and

174
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 1: try to try to change that trend. Um. You know

175
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 1: they're aggressive, penetrating front. They mix their defensive calls and coverages,

176
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 1: um quite a bit. There's a lot of spin the

177
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 1: dial um. You're gonna deal with zone, You're gonna deal

178
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 1: with pressure, You're gonna deal with man coverage, you're gonna

179
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 1: deal with post safety, split safety, um, secondary blitzers, linebacker pressures. Um,

180
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 1: there's a lot to deal with in this scheme and

181
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:43,679
Speaker 1: UM and and the big thing, uh that that really

182
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 1: stands out is you know, they're I think they're third

183
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:50,320
Speaker 1: in the league and takeaways and they're averaging, you know,

184
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 1: over two turnovers a game on defense, and you know,

185
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 1: when you do that, you create a lot of extra

186
00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: possessions for your your offense. And and uh, and they

187
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:04,319
Speaker 1: got us a couple of times in our first game. So, UM,

188
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 1: there's a lot of scheme challenges, um that go along

189
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 1: with this group. UM. You know, certainly we have a

190
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 1: tremendous amount of respect for Wake. We've played against him

191
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 1: a number of times and he's had a lot of

192
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 1: success against us down there. Robert Quinn's playing well, gotch

193
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:20,680
Speaker 1: House Spence is probably playing as well as he's played

194
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 1: to me that that I've seen. They have fast linebackers.

195
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 1: We didn't see Rashad Jones in the first game. We

196
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 1: know what a tremendous player he is. Howard's having a

197
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:35,079
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl career, Pro Pro Bowl year at corner and

198
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 1: uh and we didn't see Fitzpatrick at corner in the

199
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 1: first game. So there's a lot of changes, um, relative

200
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 1: to the personnel um that we that we see now

201
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 1: that we didn't see in the first game against them. Uh.

202
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 1: And certainly it's a tremendous, tremendous challenge to go down

203
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 1: there and play them in Miami where you know, they're

204
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,199
Speaker 1: five and one this year and have historically been very

205
00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:01,560
Speaker 1: difficult to deal with down there in South Florida. UM.

206
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 1: Relative to Gronk, Um, you know, he it's great to

207
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 1: have him back out there. I mean, certainly, you know,

208
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 1: coming back and and working back into it. He's practicing hard,

209
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 1: and UM, I just you know, he he he has

210
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:18,959
Speaker 1: a great attitude and approach. UM. You know, he's he's unselfish, UM,

211
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,559
Speaker 1: you know, and and does whatever you know, ran block

212
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 1: pretty well the other night, and and does some things

213
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: uh to that don't necessarily get noticed or or you know,

214
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 1: don't show up on the stat sheet. But um helps

215
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,680
Speaker 1: us do a lot of different things and also takes

216
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 1: a tremendous amount of coverage, you know, and and sometimes

217
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 1: they put a lot of attention to him. And the

218
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 1: ball goes somewhere else. And that kind of goes hand

219
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 1: in hand with what we talked about earlier about the

220
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,680
Speaker 1: quarterback reading the coverage out and trying to you know,

221
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:48,839
Speaker 1: go with you know too to the right spot. He

222
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: just each coverage each play and give ourselves a chance

223
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,839
Speaker 1: to just have some success each time we go back

224
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 1: and throw it. So, UM, I think he's he's uh,

225
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 1: you know, he's in a good play's continue to work

226
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 1: hard and uh, you know he's always patient and unselfish,

227
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 1: and he's a great teammate and um, you know we're

228
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 1: we're better, We're better when he's on the field. And

229
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 1: it's like a two final questions to be Ryan Hannibal

230
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 1: followed by Mike Jerry, Hey, Josh, just like a quick

231
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 1: question back to Sunday. When you have a game where

232
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 1: you have nine different players touch passes and then seven

233
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 1: players run the ball, is that sort of the ideal

234
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 1: you know, game plan from a play calling standpoint, Is

235
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 1: that what you're looking for? And then how much better

236
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 1: does it make the offense when so many different players

237
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 1: are touching the ball. I think that speaks more to

238
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 1: the players um executing and and doing their jobs um. Well,

239
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 1: and and and then our you know, our quarterback and

240
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,599
Speaker 1: our line you know one distributing the ball and to

241
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,320
Speaker 1: giving you know, those guys an opportunity to run with

242
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 1: it than it does some type of a specific design

243
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 1: or or hope that I had going into the game. Fan,

244
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 1: I mean sometimes that that those numbers will be dramatically

245
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 1: impacted by what the defense chooses to take away and

246
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 1: how they choose to play. UM. So I just think

247
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 1: it speaks to the to the U the depth that

248
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 1: that we have in terms of some of our skill positions,

249
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 1: and the guys that go in there and they're doing

250
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 1: their job and try to do it as well as

251
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: they can every play, and UM, when the ball comes

252
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 1: to them, they try to make the most of their opportunities,

253
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: which is UM. And it's a great feeling offensively when

254
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 1: there's a lot of people contributing to the overall success

255
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 1: of the unit, UM, which is you know, it certainly

256
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 1: can make you more difficult to defend. But um, you know,

257
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: if if some team forced the ball somewhere else and

258
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 1: somebody ended up with twelve or thirteen targets, and that's

259
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 1: one thing. If um, if the ball gets spread around

260
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 1: like that it usually is a good thing, so, UM,

261
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 1: you know, I just I think it says a lot

262
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 1: about our guys and how hard they work and how

263
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 1: patient they are, and they're ready for their opportunities when

264
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 1: they get them and make the most of them and

265
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 1: celebrate their teammate success when when the balls is going

266
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 1: somewhere else. And the last question, I'll be Mike Tiori,

267
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 1: Josh if that time of year again. Um, you know,

268
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 1: there are some vacancies already in the National Football League

269
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 1: and your name has been brought up. I'm just curious

270
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 1: your thoughts on on your future and but more importantly

271
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 1: in the now, how do you balance um, doing your

272
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 1: job but also um keeping an eye on the future.

273
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 1: I don't really worry about the future. And and and honestly,

274
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 1: each each week is a tremendous challenge. And you know,

275
00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 1: we we try to stay in the moment and focus

276
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 1: on task at hand, which this week is is obviously considerable, uh,

277
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 1: considering that we haven't had a lot of success down there,

278
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 1: and you know, and and uh, you know, there's a

279
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 1: big challenge for us. I didn't I didn't do Uh,

280
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 1: I didn't do you know, nearly well enough in my

281
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 1: role and my job last year when we went down

282
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 1: there to Miami. So um, there's a lot for us

283
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 1: to to look at and a great defense for us

284
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 1: to go down there and face where they play extremely

285
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 1: well at home. And all the other stuff is is

286
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 1: just you know, it is what it is, and don't

287
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 1: don't really pay too much attention to it. Um. You know,

288
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 1: love what we do here and in terms of working

289
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 1: hard to try to come up with the best plan

290
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 1: for our players each week, and that's where my focus

291
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 1: is going to remain. God's just quickly. But you your

292
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 1: your future goal hasn't changed though you still want to

293
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 1: uh be a head coach again some day. If that's

294
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 1: in the cards for me, then that's great. I've said

295
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 1: that before and but again I'm not worried about that

296
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 1: right now. Thank you job, Thank you
