1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,600
Speaker 1: Injuries for today. UM, Jimmy Garoppolo foot will not practice.

00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:08,119
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey calf won't practice, Deebo Samuel Ankle won't practice,

00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:13,239
Speaker 1: Elijah Mitchell growing won't practice. UM, Charles many Oblique will

4
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 1: be limited. Ambrey Thomas Ankle limited. Go ahead. What is

5
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:22,640
Speaker 1: Charles's status with the team after the arrest on Monday? Uh,

6
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:25,119
Speaker 1: he said he's going to practice, Like what is he

7
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 1: going to be available from the game? If? Yeah, we're

8
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:29,480
Speaker 1: letting the legal process take care of itself. So if

9
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:35,560
Speaker 1: if he's healthy, he'll play this way alleged reason. Believe

10
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 1: that's accurate. Does it give you any cause to play him? Um,

11
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 1: what we've looked into for the last twenty four hours

12
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 1: or forty eight hours, not necessarily myself, but other people,

13
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 1: we feel very good letting the legal process take care

14
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,279
Speaker 1: of itself, and UM, I don't feel we shouldn't kick

15
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 1: him off our team at this time in treat the

16
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: debo something new or concerned about that at all? Um,

17
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's it's been there for a little bit,

18
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:08,400
Speaker 1: and UM, I think I'll be all right, but concerned

19
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: us enough now let them go today, have an X

20
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 1: ray yesterday, thought that was happening. Yes, and I don't

21
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:21,759
Speaker 1: expect to have him this week. All of the people

22
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 1: that you mentioned are key people. Do you expect them

23
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: to all be available for the games? Um? Yeah, I

24
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 1: expect him too, but there's no guarantees. Um, you know,

25
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 1: especially when it's be in the NFC Championship game. I

26
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: think there's a better chance they'll be ready since there's

27
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: nothing guaranteed after this, So hopefully keep our fingers crossed.

28
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 1: The calling and play design, how much is your method

29
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: of teaching those things so they're executed properly changed over

30
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: the years or has it changed much? Ah? Yeah, it

31
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: changes based off of how people play them. Um, so

32
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: you gotta look at it. What the techniques are that week,

33
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: how d line play, how Becker's play coverages, how people

34
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: are coached, how schemes change. So players are just plays.

35
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: It's how you tie them together, how you hide them,

36
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 1: how you do things off of them, and that's how

37
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 1: you coach them. There's a lot of video in terms

38
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 1: of we wanted to look this way. Um, well, you

39
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 1: start on paper, so they know how it looks on paper.

40
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: But um, then you gotta show them video because there's

41
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 1: guys in front of those routes that are drawn on

42
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,360
Speaker 1: paper and things, so you gotta, um show verse all

43
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: different types of looks and stuff. And some guys learn

44
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 1: better on paper, some do it visually on film, and um,

45
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 1: we always do both. We see Fred Warner leading the

46
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: team and huddles out of huddles many times a week

47
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: the day, and I'm sure he doesn't other times. How

48
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: comforting use it for you to know he's got some

49
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 1: of that taking care of imagine most of that energy, right?

50
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: And do you ever tell for hey maybe can you

51
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 1: say it's a little bit at any time? Do you ever? Um? Yeah,

52
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,119
Speaker 1: I do sometimes and I usually do it at halftime

53
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,399
Speaker 1: we're doing a bunch of stuff and um, a bunch

54
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,799
Speaker 1: of adjustments things like that. And actually I Fred talked

55
00:02:57,800 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 1: to the guys right before we go out. But um,

56
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: Fred is always going to talk because he's a true leader. UM,

57
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 1: and Fred should be the guy who talks. Is how

58
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: he carries himself every day and everyone knows how good

59
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 1: of a player he is. But when it comes to

60
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:12,839
Speaker 1: what he does day in and day out since he's

61
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 1: been here, his attention to detail at practice and meetings

62
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: and in games, Um, he's ahead of everybody, and so

63
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 1: um he earns that by his play and by how

64
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,799
Speaker 1: he carries himself. Just sad about how a team is

65
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: not one after playing in the regular season. It speaks

66
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: to seem to speak to your team's physicality. Are the

67
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: Eagles a team that can I don't know, staying to

68
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: to to and match that physicality? Um? I mean Dallas

69
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 1: did that last week. I mean when teams come ready

70
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: to play, um, we just I just feel like we

71
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: seem to do it every single week. Um, but this

72
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: is the playoffs and it's very rare that you don't

73
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: get a team that, um gives all they have at

74
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: this time of year. So UM, I feel we're used

75
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: to doing that week and a week out. But um,

76
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 1: this time of year, that's what you expect from everyone. Know.

77
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: The matchup with sound right early Speer when he was

78
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: in Arizona. How is he changes the players? How's he?

79
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 1: I just think he's playing real good scheme for him,

80
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: you know he gets I think it gets a lot

81
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: more opportunities. Um. And I just think pass rushers, the

82
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: more they play in this league and stay healthy and

83
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: hang around, the better they get. I mean, it's it's

84
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,479
Speaker 1: hard to rush the quarterback in this league. UM, and

85
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:19,840
Speaker 1: he's gotten better each year. UM, he's playing at the

86
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:21,840
Speaker 1: top of his game right now. And he's always been

87
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 1: a good player. We love him coming out of college. UM,

88
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 1: but you can tell he just gets better and better

89
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 1: each year. And Brock out a taste of work in

90
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 1: Silent County in Seattle. How did he do in that

91
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: scenario and how can you kind of simulate and help

92
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 1: him with that? I mean, we we'll do the same

93
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 1: thing we did that week. I mean that was huge

94
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: just because that was our first game really all year

95
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 1: that it was that important and brock count had experience

96
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 1: with it, and UM, so it was great to have that,

97
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,160
Speaker 1: especially with us going to Philly. I remembered us talking

98
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: about that that week that we needed that. Um, we

99
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 1: needed that rep in case we ended up in the

100
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: NFC Championship at Philly, and we got that and very

101
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: fortunate that we did. And I feel we're good to go.

102
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:58,279
Speaker 1: He knows what to expect, he knows how we do it,

103
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 1: and UM, we'll give him reps out at all week.

104
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,720
Speaker 1: But he got it ready on just a Wednesday when

105
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: he played Thursday, so it won't be an issue. This week. Yeah,

106
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: just crank up, crank it up. We've only gotten better

107
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 1: with him. He's coming in and needed that more fluid December. Ah, Yeah,

108
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: I mean he was. I think he's been pretty fluid,

109
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: um from the beginning. But I mean it gets easier

110
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: and easier each week. Um, you know broadcast, there's lots

111
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,159
Speaker 1: of times that the headset will cut off, and um,

112
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: there's a number of times we don't have to use

113
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: the time out and stuff because he's got a lot

114
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: of those plays memorized. Anyways. Um, I think he gets

115
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 1: better at anticipating the calls that I'm going to do,

116
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: so once he starts to hear a formation, I'm gonna

117
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 1: always finish it. But he's already walking to the huddle

118
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: kind of finishing what I'm saying. So, Um, he's good

119
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:43,159
Speaker 1: from the beginning and he's only getting better at it.

120
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: We've talked about Eric said a lot, but I'm curious

121
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 1: what your impressions of him were as an offensive coordinator

122
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 1: in the week before you got here, and how your

123
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 1: your view of him change coaching him during your time.

124
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 1: I only I remember going against the Niners defense, um

125
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 1: the most since sixth team when were in Atlanta and

126
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: their season was kind of over, um, and I didn't

127
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 1: get to notice those guys watch him in Armstead and

128
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 1: Buck because just the way they were playing the whole

129
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 1: game they're in, uh, they were they weren't penetrating, they

130
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 1: were in frog stances and playing real sound run defense

131
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 1: and stuff, and we weren't really attacking them that way. So, UM,

132
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 1: I remember not being sure on the overall of the

133
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 1: defense playing against the Atlanta And then when I got

134
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: to kind of hunker down and we looked into the

135
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,919
Speaker 1: job and stuff, being able to watch him, um Buck,

136
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 1: Jimmy Ward, um, just to see some of the um

137
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: the pillars that they already had and we're hoping that

138
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,679
Speaker 1: we could get something to help them. When you guys

139
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: up beat them in Week two last last year, Dyalen

140
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 1: Hurts looked a little bit raw still at that time.

141
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 1: What did you see? What have you seen about him

142
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 1: that has improved in that team in general? That's different

143
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 1: from when you guys. He's just gotten more consistent. I

144
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 1: mean you can see in that game the ability that

145
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 1: he has and what he was close to doing a

146
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 1: number of times, and he made some big throws in

147
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,839
Speaker 1: that game, and um, we contained him fairly well. But

148
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 1: I think we're up seventeen to three, like with five

149
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 1: minutes to go, and then he started getting going again

150
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,160
Speaker 1: and they brought it right into one score game. So

151
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 1: you could see the ability that he had real early on.

152
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 1: And um, I know, towards the end of that year

153
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: he started getting on a role and that's when they

154
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 1: did they make the playoffs last year. Yeah, that's why

155
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: they ended up making it because how good he got

156
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 1: after that. But we could see signs of it in

157
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 1: that game, and um, not just watching him this year,

158
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 1: hearing about it, you know, he's um borderline NFL m

159
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 1: v P. And then turning the film on these last

160
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 1: two days, he's just like how he was with potential

161
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: and now he's doing it down and down out specific

162
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 1: the Rock saw on Sunday from the Dallas defense that

163
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 1: can prepay from the Eagles defense. UM, I mean, I

164
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 1: think Dallas's defense was the first defense in a while

165
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 1: for us that um was really good in all the areas,

166
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 1: UM just at the d line, UM in the middle

167
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 1: of the linebacker and the secondary and the way they played,

168
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 1: so that was a true playoff defense and then put

169
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: a lot of pressure on our guys. And I thought

170
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: it was great test for him because I don't think

171
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: he played much different than he had in all the

172
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,119
Speaker 1: other games. I mean, stuff was tighter, Um, things were harder,

173
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 1: but he still protected the ball very well and made

174
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 1: a few um big plays and some key moments. You

175
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 1: know that third and two slant tay Yuk, the third

176
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 1: and three I think to Christian in a tight area. Um,

177
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: you know, the the slant to Kittle Um on a

178
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 1: first down. That was a big one. So I mean

179
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 1: that was a game where every single play felt like

180
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 1: it was the most important playing the game and it

181
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 1: could go either way. And um, he played like he

182
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 1: always has. Pretty remarkable of the the thing back to training

183
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 1: camp when he's only getting about five snaps and team

184
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 1: drill over five passes and team drills, and I mean,

185
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 1: how did he maximize those opportunities to show you something?

186
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 1: Um it is? I mean that showed I think he

187
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 1: was pretty good in those times. You know we weren't

188
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 1: when you get a quarterback where we did and you

189
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 1: already have two guys in an ideal world, you're hoping

190
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 1: to keep that guy on the practice squad. Um, but

191
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:56,560
Speaker 1: he was looking so good in his reps in practice

192
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 1: that eventually let him go in the game, and then

193
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: he looked that way in the game, so we thought

194
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 1: it'd be way too much of a risk to lose them.

195
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 1: So that's why we end up having to make the

196
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 1: decision we we did, which isn't always fun for overall roster.

197
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 1: But I'm sure glad that we did it. And he

198
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,199
Speaker 1: looked that way right away, And so he has a

199
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 1: natural ability to play the position, and that's why he's

200
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 1: fun to coach because when he does make mistakes and

201
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: do things, it's he can see it, he can know why,

202
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 1: we can see it, and we can all understand it,

203
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 1: which gives him a chance to get better. Play the

204
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 1: other day where he had a shot at jack and

205
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 1: he didn't didn't really take it because he was afraid

206
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 1: to make an the penalty, And that's a sort of

207
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 1: a dilemma you'll face a lot coming up on Sunday

208
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 1: out of you sort of navigate that. Jalen when he's running, Oh,

209
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 1: I mean, that's we talked about that every week. We

210
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 1: can week out that one was I think it wasn't

211
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:47,719
Speaker 1: that he was just scared to get the penalty. Is

212
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 1: that where he was he thought he was going to

213
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 1: throw it, so he's getting ready to put his hands

214
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 1: up to tip it, and then all of a sudden,

215
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 1: I think he shocked him that he that he didn't

216
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 1: do it, and then he was an awkward position. So

217
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 1: that's stuff that you talked about all the time. UM,

218
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 1: it's huge challenge for these guys. I mean, we're expecting

219
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:04,839
Speaker 1: this quarterback to run it. Um, We're expecting him to

220
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:06,559
Speaker 1: lower his shoulders. So we always got to come out

221
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 1: and treat him like a running back until he gets

222
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 1: himself up, which is sliding or being in that pocket.

223
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 1: And when he does. Um. Our guys are good enough

224
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 1: athletes to have to deal with it. Um. Yeah, he's

225
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 1: a good slider. Jamikos obviously been heavily sought after. How

226
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 1: would you describe his strengths as a coordinator. UM, I

227
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:27,199
Speaker 1: mean I think it starts as a man. I mean,

228
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 1: he's the ideal leader, whether and whatever he does. He

229
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 1: was that way when he came in to Houston as

230
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 1: a rookie linebacker. I mean he took over that defense

231
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 1: right away. You could tell who was in charge when

232
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 1: he was a twenty one year old. Um, he came

233
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 1: in here as a quality control and within like six

234
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 1: months we moved to a linebacker coach and he's just

235
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 1: he's always been that guy. And UM, and then just

236
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 1: watching him over these two years, UM, what he took

237
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 1: in his in his years learning to get there? How

238
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 1: much better he he runs the system and then then

239
00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 1: he adjusts every week he sees how to play an offense.

240
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 1: He pays attention to offense and defense. UM. I thought

241
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:04,960
Speaker 1: he was ready last year to be a head coach.

242
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 1: And UM, I hope his wife doesn't get mad. But

243
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 1: I hope he's not a head coach next year. UM.

244
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 1: But but if he is, he more than deserves it.

245
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 1: With all the motion that you do, kind of forcing

246
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,440
Speaker 1: defenses to react to what you guys are doing, how

247
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 1: much does that prevent the defense and from giving a

248
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 1: disguise coverage? And then you know, having a rookie quarterback,

249
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 1: how much does that benefit? If that's all the case there,

250
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 1: I mean, that's up to them, you know. It's it's

251
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,959
Speaker 1: sometimes that you can keep your disguises and sometimes it

252
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 1: makes some more challenging. So that's just what other people

253
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 1: decided to do. UM, if they want to decide to

254
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 1: do that, and maybe that can make it harder for

255
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:43,679
Speaker 1: him or harder for us, but maybe it can make

256
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:45,560
Speaker 1: them late to some things who want to hit pretty quick.

257
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,719
Speaker 1: So there's give and take to everything. And um, that's

258
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 1: why you tried to see everything is not like a problem.

259
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 1: You know, if someone's causing a problem on something and

260
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: usually opens up a good thing on in another area.

261
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 1: And just you gotta balance out your game plan. So

262
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:02,200
Speaker 1: you can do that. I'm gonna cheat and ask two questions,

263
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 1: but everyone's doing that especially Yeah. Uh kyla us Check

264
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 1: said that you have a sort of different development pattern

265
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 1: for rookies. Make sure they get a lot of reps,

266
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 1: make sure they get a lot of attention as opposed

267
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 1: to work. Sorry's career. Is that an intentional thing on

268
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 1: your part that you came up with? And the second

269
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,559
Speaker 1: question is this is your third time in the last

270
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 1: four years at this level. Obviously you weren't super Bowl

271
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 1: with Atlanta. There's some frustrations obviously from those those previous ones.

272
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 1: How do you not let those frustrations get to you

273
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: at the moment it is? Um, I don't read all

274
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: your articles. UM, I just treat it as a football game. Um.

275
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 1: And when you lose big games, those are hard real

276
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,679
Speaker 1: hard however they happen, and you've got to deal with

277
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 1: that forever. Um, But I feel like that's what kind

278
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 1: of hardens you to it. It makes you get back

279
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 1: to the reality of what it really is. It's the

280
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 1: reality of it is. It's a It's a really good

281
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 1: football game that I loved watching growing up. It's probably

282
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 1: my favorite thing to do in the world, and I

283
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 1: feel very blessed that I get to be somewhat a

284
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 1: part of it. And Um, you prepare so hard during

285
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 1: the week, you don't think about that other stuff. We're

286
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 1: playing the game, the players are playing the game, we're

287
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 1: coaching the game, and you go off exactly what you

288
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 1: think based off your preparation and what you've worked at

289
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:28,199
Speaker 1: to try to learn, and you don't ever look back. Um.

290
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 1: The only time that I ever have regrets and games

291
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 1: is when I feel I've made decisions that I didn't

292
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 1: want to make, or you don't feel like that that

293
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:39,559
Speaker 1: was the right decision. You went for another reason. Um,

294
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 1: it's been a long time since I've done something like that.

295
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 1: And when you do that, you're excited for these moments

296
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 1: when or lose. A lot of people don't like the

297
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 1: pressure of it players, people in general, because you put

298
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 1: yourself out there and it's really tough if you don't

299
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 1: come up um victorious. But like I've always said in

300
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 1: her growing up, there's only one team that's happy at

301
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 1: the end of the year, and other thirty one teams aren't.

302
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,319
Speaker 1: And you always keep going and try to be that team,

303
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 1: and you do that till you're done playing or until

304
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 1: you're done coaching. Rookie development is more just player development.

305
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 1: I mean, this isn't college like you can't. You don't

306
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 1: just get red shirt years, and guys who think they

307
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 1: do get that are usually out of the league in

308
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 1: two to three years. UM. So it's more that I

309
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 1: don't necessarily think it's just rookies. I guess our whole

310
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 1: building does that. But I put pressure on a lot

311
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 1: of people because the guys that think they have time,

312
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 1: just the more experience you have, you realized they don't

313
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 1: have time. It might be the next play, which everyone says,

314
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 1: but I mean I think of Brock Purty would have

315
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 1: thought he had this whole year, UM, would have ruined

316
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 1: our whole team season. And try to tell that to

317
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 1: running backs all the time, to wide receivers. So it's

318
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 1: I mean we've played with like four to five backs,

319
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 1: you know, I think six years in a row. So, UM,

320
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 1: the practice squad guys are pretty day important to UM.

321
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 1: The guys who think they're just doing practice squad and

322
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 1: you have a couple of injuries and the only other

323
00:14:57,800 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: way you can get to the playoffs or go to

324
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: the playoff game, say if you have good guys on

325
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 1: practice squad or good rookies ready to step up, so

326
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 1: there's not just guys usually sitting out there wait waiting

327
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 1: to know your scheme and replace people. All right, thanks guys,
