And uh, for Jordan 23 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:05,399 Speaker 2: has just got to come out and he's just got 24 00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:05,640 Speaker 2: to go. 25 00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:07,160 Speaker 3: Through his fundamentals on that punt. You know. 26 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 2: Uh, I think he might have felt he might have 27 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:13,400 Speaker 2: felt rushed a little bit, given given the given what 28 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 2: what happened with the with the snap. But uh, just 29 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:18,480 Speaker 2: just like we always say, man, just just come out here. 30 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:22,560 Speaker 2: Uh go practice, go play like your practice. This guy's 31 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:24,959 Speaker 2: been having a heck of a practices and we've been 32 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 2: we've been really fired up about what he's done in 33 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,119 Speaker 2: the practices. But we got to carry those things over 34 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 2: to the game. And he's a good enough player where 35 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 2: he should be able to do that. 36 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 6: What happened with his snap is there's something that variety. 37 00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:39,119 Speaker 7: All. 38 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, so I thought, you know, looking at 39 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 2: the tape this the snap was a little bit was 40 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,039 Speaker 2: a little bit high and then but but regardless of that, 41 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:49,279 Speaker 2: you know, we practice, we practice these situations and these things. 42 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 2: Uh we like to call him ugly balls, you know, 43 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 2: and just you go through the same footwork, you go 44 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 2: through the same drop, you go through the same swing. Uh, 45 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,760 Speaker 2: those things shouldn't change. And I think if we if 46 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 2: we do that, we have we have a lot better put. 47 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 8: Chris to this past. We suggest Tucker's kicks Memember fifty yards. 48 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 8: So what do you say in there? As far as him, 49 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:12,079 Speaker 8: he seems like he has a distance, just the angles 50 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:12,919 Speaker 8: a little bit different. 51 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know again it's uh, the the distance is there. Uh, 52 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 2: I think the confidence is there, and I think it 53 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 2: might be every now and then a little bit how 54 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,399 Speaker 2: he strikes the ball and foot placement on the ball 55 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:25,080 Speaker 2: and things like that. 56 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 3: Other than that, that's all it. That's all it is. 57 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,079 Speaker 2: It's ah, there's no Those are things that that justin 58 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 2: justin himself I know, will get will get fixed. 59 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 3: Things that things that he's working on. I'm not worried 60 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 3: about when we send him out there. 61 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 2: Uh, from a confidence standpoint, whether he's gonna make the 62 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 2: kick or not, Uh, that's a that's a done deal. 63 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 2: We got full confidence in him making that kick. But 64 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 2: from a just from a fundamental standpoint, I think he's 65 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 2: just gotta he's just got to go through it. 66 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 3: Like everything that we do. 67 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,119 Speaker 4: Idea of the dynamic kickoff, right, and then I think 68 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 4: the first eight or nine kick. 69 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 5: To you were touchbacks and it wasn't that dynamic. 70 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 4: Does your do you go into a game telling your 71 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,079 Speaker 4: returners do not bring it out of the end zone. 72 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 3: It's personal choice every single kick. 73 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 5: What what's your what's your outlook on a kick. 74 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 2: That goes into the end zone, you know, for us, 75 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 2: we just try to figure out how can we maximize 76 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 2: the play? Uh, And we feel like and we've always 77 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 2: felt like this, even when the when the play was 78 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,080 Speaker 2: in the old system, if the ball was in the 79 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 2: end zone, they didn't really benefit us as much. So 80 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,079 Speaker 2: if the ball is in the field to play, let's 81 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,359 Speaker 2: go ahead, let's return those things. So if the ball 82 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 2: is in the end zone and we're going backwards, that 83 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 2: messes up the timing of the play and we feel 84 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:32,080 Speaker 2: like we can't get maximize our opportunity on that play. 85 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 2: So we pretty much tell our guys, hey, just keep 86 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 2: it in the end zone. We'll get the next one. 87 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 2: If they want to put the ball in play, the 88 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 2: ball will be short of the end zone, you know. 89 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 3: So that's how we that's how we operate. 90 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 5: We saw it made the change if Tyler Wallace was 91 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 5: next to Dr fel later. 92 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 4: Is that kind of a moving target just trying different 93 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 4: guys out or what kind of goes into your thinking 94 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 4: there as to that role. 95 00:03:56,160 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think for us it's It's always about decision making. Uh, 96 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 2: you know, the the guys we want to put back there, 97 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 2: we're going to make sure first, uh we're we're we 98 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 2: are making the right decisions when we are back there. 99 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 2: And and and that's everyone that's making sure that the 100 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 2: players understand what would would we as coaches want and 101 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,119 Speaker 2: then uh, the other player, the off re turner understand 102 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 2: kind of what we want from those uh, from those 103 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,239 Speaker 2: type of kicks. But there was there was really nothing 104 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 2: that really goes into it. It's just a kind of 105 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 2: a you know, how do we feel what we want? 106 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 2: We want to see another guy back there, and that's 107 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:26,479 Speaker 2: kind of how we operate for. 108 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 9: John late in the game. 109 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 10: Is that just you know, young player, a little a 110 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 10: little indecision and that then ends up at the twenty 111 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:34,920 Speaker 10: yard line the ball that could have maybe been caught 112 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 10: in your state in the The answer is that just 113 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 10: youth and the experience at that point. 114 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I think I can't tell you off 115 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 2: the top of my head how many how many returns 116 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,919 Speaker 2: JK has in this league, But just from a just 117 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,800 Speaker 2: from an idea and just consistency and things, that's just 118 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 2: putting him in that situation. You know, having him float 119 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 2: the ball traveling into the end zone. 120 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:53,279 Speaker 11: You know. 121 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 2: So I think a lot of that we could we 122 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 2: could take care of when we're in practice, have him 123 00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,359 Speaker 2: have to go backward for a ball. That way he 124 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:01,280 Speaker 2: understands where he is on the field as well. 125 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:06,599 Speaker 12: Chris watching the Cowboys and special teams unit. 126 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:11,119 Speaker 6: Talent snapper, punter picker in particular, what have you seen 127 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,920 Speaker 6: Aubrey and makes him kind of special for their unit? 128 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:17,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think, Uh, this guy's got a he's got 129 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 2: a good leg, you know that, and that that could 130 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 2: be seen on the tape. Obviously, they'll they'll try field 131 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 2: goals from from wherever with him, right, He's a he's 132 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,920 Speaker 2: a young he's a young guy. Uh, and he's been 133 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 2: he's been consistent, and I think that's the most important 134 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 2: thing when you talk about guys kicking and things like that. 135 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 3: And he can do He's got a soccer background, so, uh, 136 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 3: he can. 137 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:38,600 Speaker 2: Do a lot more with the football when you watch 138 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,840 Speaker 2: some of the some of the things that he's doing with. 139 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,839 Speaker 3: The kickoff play with that soccer background, you know. 140 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:45,360 Speaker 2: So he's got a he's got a little bit of 141 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,600 Speaker 2: advantage there. But other than that, man, I just think 142 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,919 Speaker 2: that the kids playing great have given the year and 143 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 2: two games that he's played so far, do you. 144 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,600 Speaker 13: Given Justin's track record, and you know how good he's 145 00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 13: been over a long stretch of time. When he's going 146 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 13: through a bit of a patch like this, as his coach, 147 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,159 Speaker 13: you say anything to him. I mean, he's so critical 148 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 13: of himself and has such a high standard. Do you 149 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:08,719 Speaker 13: or Randy say anything to him? And you just gotta 150 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 13: let him. 151 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 3: Bill, we kind of just we kind of let him be. 152 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,480 Speaker 2: I think we'll each individually talk to him on the side, 153 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 2: just kind of see where he is. But as it's 154 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,159 Speaker 2: Tucker Man like nothing in my in my opinion, just 155 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,040 Speaker 2: being around him for as long as I've been around him, 156 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,799 Speaker 2: I don't think anything really truly fazes this guy because 157 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 2: he has a process and he has a way how 158 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:26,840 Speaker 2: he's gonna do things, and I think he knows how 159 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,480 Speaker 2: to get himself out of whatever situation he's in. But 160 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 2: I think individually we don't We don't hit him at 161 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 2: the same time, we just kind of pulled him to 162 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:34,479 Speaker 2: the side. 163 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:36,159 Speaker 3: I just want to know how he's doing. You know, 164 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 3: it's it's okay, it happens. 165 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 2: He's human, right, He's still I still believe he's still 166 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:41,840 Speaker 2: the best kicker in this game. 167 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:43,800 Speaker 3: So you just let him go out and let him 168 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 3: be himself. 169 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 1: Next up is defensive coordinator Zacharyor. This is going to 170 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,680 Speaker 1: be a bit of a homecoming for Or, who grew 171 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,360 Speaker 1: up in Texas.

He talked about this game and 174 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:05,160 Speaker 1: what his defense needs to do. 175 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 7: You expect to see, man, I know, shoot, my immediate family, mom, dad, brothers, nieces, nephews. 176 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 7: I'll probably say about fifteen, fifteen to twenty that I 177 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 7: that I know for sure. But I know it's people 178 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 7: who said they were they were gonna be showing up. 179 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 7: So you know, I'll be interested to see how many 180 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 7: actually come to the game. 181 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 6: That's time the Ravens o to you were homeless roster 182 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,760 Speaker 6: spect the teams just what do you remember kind of 183 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 6: this mentality you had done that something to draw from, 184 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 6: but also what the outcome of that season was. 185 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 14: For this time, Yeah, I think that. 186 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 7: You know, it's a long season and obviously it's not 187 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 7: the start that nobody in this building, you know, wanted 188 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 7: to get off to but. 189 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 14: You know, we're here. We can't change the past. 190 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 7: Yeah, the first two weeks of disappointing, but it's about 191 00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 7: what we what we do going forward, and we got 192 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,720 Speaker 7: fifteen more opportunities in the regular season to become the 193 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 7: best football team we possibly can be, and that starts 194 00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 7: with this week right here. So I think the thing 195 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 7: that you learn and you try to tell guys is that, uh. 196 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 14: You know, nobody gonna feel sorry for you. 197 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 7: You know, at the end of the day, whether you 198 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 7: won the first two games or you lost the first 199 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 7: two games, you can have to go out here and 200 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 7: play in Week three, and you're gonna have to continue 201 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 7: to get better as a football team because it's a 202 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 7: week to week league, and uh, you know, you've been 203 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 7: around long enough the season can change fast in one 204 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 7: way or the other. So you just got to keep 205 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 7: grinding and keep finding ways to get better and you know, 206 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:32,839 Speaker 7: continue to move forward. 207 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 8: The best two weeks two games, our receivers catch word 208 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:43,560 Speaker 8: undred yards. What's been the challenging the secondary, the key playmakers. 209 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 7: Down And I think that you know, I thought we 210 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:47,960 Speaker 7: took a step this past week, but it still wasn't 211 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,880 Speaker 7: good enough. From a sense of uh communication standpoint, and 212 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 7: it's a very it's a various different things. A couple 213 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 7: of times, you know, receivers make you know great plays. 214 00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,200 Speaker 7: We played a couple of good receivers, obviously, DeVonta Adams, 215 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 7: he been one of the better ones for for over 216 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 7: a decade. 217 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 14: But I feel like we're right there, We're real close. 218 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,680 Speaker 7: We just got to continue to tighten up the the 219 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 7: screws just a little bit. 220 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:10,600 Speaker 14: And I think as coaches we. 221 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 7: Could do a better job just making sure that guys 222 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 7: are fully locked in, fully understand what's going on. So 223 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 7: I think that we are on our way. I thought 224 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 7: we took a step. The step wasn't good enough, you know, obviously, 225 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 7: but I'm excited about what we're gonna look like this 226 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:23,960 Speaker 7: week exactly. 227 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 15: It's a small sample size, but how would you evaluate 228 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 15: the play of the sort of trio of leaders of 229 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 15: Nom de Row and Kyle Man. 230 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 14: I think they I think they're playing well right now. 231 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:34,560 Speaker 7: I mean, those guys, those all three of those guys 232 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:36,959 Speaker 7: are great players, are real valuable to us. But I 233 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 7: think if you ask them, you know, they can go 234 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 7: to another level. And that's what we're trying to do. 235 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:44,079 Speaker 7: As a team, and I'm excited about those guys. That's 236 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,600 Speaker 7: what makes those guys such special players and special humans 237 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 7: that they are, is they they're not They're never satisfied, 238 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:52,079 Speaker 7: and they all look at look at themselves in the mirror, 239 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 7: just like I'm looking myself in the mirror, Like right now, 240 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:56,440 Speaker 7: we're not we're not the football team and we're not 241 00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 7: the defense that we want to be. And we were 242 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 7: taking ca oh and ourselves accountable and those those three 243 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 7: guys are doing that as well. So even though they're 244 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 7: playing good football, they still great football players. You know, 245 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,480 Speaker 7: they want to continue to get better and show show more. 246 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 15: The difference between where they're at and where they want 247 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 15: to be. Do you feel like that's more communication execution 248 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:16,640 Speaker 15: or sort of just a mix of both. 249 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 7: I think that is just uh honestly, I don't. I 250 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 7: don't think it's like a right or wrong, you know, 251 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 7: direct answer to that. You know, I think obviously you 252 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 7: can look at those things and maybe say that because 253 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:32,839 Speaker 7: we are you know, oh and too. I feel like 254 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,439 Speaker 7: if we were too or no, you know, the conversation 255 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:37,800 Speaker 7: may be different, whether the whether the play was the same. 256 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 7: So I don't I don't know if I have a 257 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 7: real answer for that exactly. 258 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 1: You have another really talented receiver this week and get 259 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 1: to go up against Ceedee Lambs. 260 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:46,719 Speaker 14: Yeah. 261 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,839 Speaker 1: Do you take any lessons from you know, last couple 262 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:51,960 Speaker 1: of weeks and Delante Adams and how them you know, 263 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 1: in terms of how you defend Lamb? 264 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:54,840 Speaker 11: Uh? 265 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean Ceedee Lamb. 266 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,480 Speaker 7: He's been You've been very impressed watching him on film, 267 00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,120 Speaker 7: just really studying obvious see you you you you know 268 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:02,679 Speaker 7: you know about him, hear about him.

So I thought 389 00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:02,800 Speaker 7: he looked good out there for a guy who hasn't 390 00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,080 Speaker 7: practiced in a minute. And I thought he moved around 391 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,680 Speaker 7: real well and was in tune with what we were 392 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:09,880 Speaker 7: trying to do on defense. So you know, I'm excited 393 00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 7: about him, and you know, hopefully we can get him back. 394 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 16: Next up is offensive coordinator Todd Monkett. 395 00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:22,400 Speaker 3: When Derrick Henry I. 396 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:24,240 Speaker 10: Think had five yards in the first half, it's like 397 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:25,600 Speaker 10: seventy something in the second half. 398 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 11: What was the big change, What was the big difference 399 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,960 Speaker 11: for him to be you know, helped so limited and 400 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:31,960 Speaker 11: then have a breakout. 401 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 17: I thought our coach did a great job, you know, 402 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 17: talking at halftime of how we could attack him. 403 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:40,520 Speaker 9: We just did it better. We just executed better. 404 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:42,360 Speaker 17: We had some opportunities the first half, and we just 405 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 17: didn't take advantage of it. We had a couple of 406 00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:46,760 Speaker 17: lost share of drums, but we just we just did 407 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 17: it better in the second half. 408 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,720 Speaker 5: You guys have faced some pretty good pass pressures first 409 00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 5: couple of weeks, obviously another one this week. How does 410 00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,080 Speaker 5: I guess does your approach change it all in terms 411 00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,840 Speaker 5: of how you go out trying to scream against those 412 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,240 Speaker 5: guys and so forth, and they particularly. 413 00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:03,360 Speaker 2: Would know. 414 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 9: Those guys are hard to handle. 415 00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,840 Speaker 17: I mean, they disrupt the game, I mean obviously, so 416 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:15,159 Speaker 17: it's the starting point of everything you do. And like 417 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,080 Speaker 17: it's been every week, you know, in terms of those 418 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 17: guys and doing everything we can within our power, within 419 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:22,960 Speaker 17: our power, you know, within that to try and neutralize 420 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:24,960 Speaker 17: those guys, and at times we haven't. 421 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:25,440 Speaker 9: At times we. 422 00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:28,760 Speaker 5: Haven't shift relative to to like their skill set or 423 00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:30,560 Speaker 5: to what you guys maybe want to accomplish. 424 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 17: I guess the all the above. Really, I mean it. 425 00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 17: It certainly challenges you. I mean, offensively, it all starts 426 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:43,359 Speaker 17: up front, and defensively, those guys make it hard. The 427 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:45,720 Speaker 17: elite defensive lineman make it hard on you. You know, 428 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:48,200 Speaker 17: they have a chance to disrupt the game. So it's 429 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:51,040 Speaker 17: our job to with those guys to do as best 430 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:53,159 Speaker 17: as we can to stay ahead of the chains, you know, 431 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,720 Speaker 17: not get behind the chains and allow those guys to 432 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:56,159 Speaker 17: tee off. 433 00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,119 Speaker 5: How would you? You and John have both said that 434 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:00,520 Speaker 5: offensive line work, gonna play the. 435 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:02,080 Speaker 3: Best five guys, We're gonna work. 436 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:03,679 Speaker 9: We're gonna work and figure out who they are and 437 00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:04,160 Speaker 9: what they are. 438 00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 15: There's a lot of talk about the offensive line so far. 439 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:10,000 Speaker 4: When you watch them play, what what does this group 440 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,480 Speaker 4: do well that you say, yeah, that's that's the best five. 441 00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 17: Well, I think they're getting better. I mean, I do 442 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:18,919 Speaker 17: think that nothing of what we've done so far has 443 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,560 Speaker 17: been perfect. That starts with me, and then every position. 444 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:25,080 Speaker 17: We have a long ways to go. We've taken a 445 00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:26,919 Speaker 17: lot of steps this week to get there, you know, 446 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:28,240 Speaker 17: in terms of execution. 447 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:30,919 Speaker 9: But I've liked what I've seen, you know. 448 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,679 Speaker 17: Now, we just got to put it together consistently and 449 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:35,720 Speaker 17: everything that we do.

We've seen that, you know, 508 00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:57,879 Speaker 4: around the league teams kind of leaning into those jumble looks. 509 00:20:58,080 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 4: Do you think that's a look that could work for 510 00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:01,720 Speaker 4: you guys, especially with you know, some of the injuries 511 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:03,240 Speaker 4: as Alyss it's dealing with it. 512 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:03,560 Speaker 6: Could? 513 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:04,320 Speaker 9: I mean it could? 514 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:07,679 Speaker 17: I mean those guys are good football players and you 515 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:08,960 Speaker 17: know we're just not able to get them all on 516 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:09,680 Speaker 17: the field at once. 517 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 4: One of the outside criticism is offensive identity and what 518 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,120 Speaker 4: is your identity? Do you think that's a fair criticism 519 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,879 Speaker 4: and how would you answer that question about what is 520 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:21,920 Speaker 4: your offensive identity? 521 00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 9: Well, I mean, let's just say it like it is. 522 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:27,200 Speaker 17: I mean, it's when you execute at a high level 523 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:31,320 Speaker 17: and you move the football and score points, there isn't criticism. 524 00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:33,160 Speaker 17: I mean when you don't, that's part of. 525 00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:33,440 Speaker 9: What we do. 526 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 17: If you if you don't want that, then you don't 527 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,200 Speaker 17: take this job.

But 583 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,000 Speaker 17: that's that's the nature of what we do. Right when 584 00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:52,639 Speaker 17: you're not having success. Uh, that's the way it is. 585 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:55,280 Speaker 17: I mean, we're paid to have success. And uh, I 586 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 17: think we're heading the right direction. 587 00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:57,000 Speaker 9: I really do. 588 00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:59,360 Speaker 17: I think we're close. I mean we really are. We're 589 00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 17: a couple of plays away from being two and zero. 590 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:01,440 Speaker 9: We're not. 591 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:03,600 Speaker 17: That's the nature of this league. How do we find 592 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:05,520 Speaker 17: those little percentage points to get better? 593 00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:06,480 Speaker 9: That's our job. 594 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:14,280 Speaker 12: So just a red zone scoring Like I said last 595 00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:16,800 Speaker 12: week that what points not just the yards at together 596 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:22,400 Speaker 12: howboys at lowest said the highest way of allowing touchdowns 597 00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:23,040 Speaker 12: in the red. 598 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,359 Speaker 6: Zone to a been over similar location. 599 00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:26,960 Speaker 11: Just see. 600 00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,639 Speaker 6: Could be a opportunity to take advantage or capitalize and 601 00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:33,679 Speaker 6: you know, a huge points put the struggle. 602 00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:36,320 Speaker 9: Well, it's a short it's a small sample size. I 603 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:38,679 Speaker 9: mean it's two weeks. I mean, you know, I'd hate to. 604 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:40,200 Speaker 17: Think this is what we're going to be the whole year, 605 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:43,040 Speaker 17: and it's a small sample size for us and them. 606 00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:46,920 Speaker 17: So obviously it's a big part of winning football games 607 00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:48,440 Speaker 17: and scoring touchdowns on the red zone. 608 00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:50,080 Speaker 9: We've been pretty good there. 609 00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:52,439 Speaker 17: We've got a few times we've ended up in two 610 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:55,479 Speaker 17: minutes down on the clock a little bit, But obviously 611 00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:58,399 Speaker 17: it's a huge emphasis for us. Obviously they understand that 612 00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,320 Speaker 17: in terms of winning games. So, uh, when we get 613 00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:03,879 Speaker 17: down there, we expect to score against It's it's not 614 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:05,320 Speaker 17: just themb it's anybody we play. 615 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:11,040 Speaker 16: We also heard from cornerback Brandon Stevens. 616 00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:15,200 Speaker 1: Brandon, for you guys going into this game, is how 617 00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:18,119 Speaker 1: do you view the challenge that the Cowboys percenting. 618 00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:21,479 Speaker 11: Yeah, you know, we're definitely looking forward to it.
