1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,920
Speaker 1: Knowing you're going up against one of the if not

2
00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:04,960
Speaker 1: the best defensive line in all the football.

3
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:08,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, excuse me. It's a great challenge. I mean, the

4
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:11,119
Speaker 2: guys are it's a great rush group. You're on the

5
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 2: road with silent count. Just a lot of things that

6
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 2: go into it. And uh, you know, we always have

7
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 2: individual matchups every week. There's always a good rusher or

8
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:22,480
Speaker 2: two in every group. They just every single guy across

9
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:24,239
Speaker 2: our front and even when they start rolling in second

10
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 2: team guys, they can rush the pass really, really well.

11
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 2: And it's it's a real challenge. I mean, it's exciting

12
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 2: to have that challenge. It's a great challenge. It's a

13
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:33,159
Speaker 2: it's a challenge though, you really got to dig in

14
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 2: and be ready to go read a unique challenge. Speed. Yeah,

15
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:40,560
Speaker 2: he's he just as his son, has a very very

16
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 2: uh great great get off, great speed. He's got a

17
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 2: real good ability to finish at the top of the pocket.

18
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:46,839
Speaker 2: A lot of guys can get the top of the

19
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:49,519
Speaker 2: pocket with speed, but it's really hard to turn and

20
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 2: make that last turn to the quarterback and make the play.

21
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 2: And he can just keep running with great speed and

22
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 2: make that turn at the top of the pocket, which

23
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 2: is really really good. And when you just when you think, okay,

24
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 2: I'm gonna get out there and make sure he can't

25
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 2: run around the corner, he can beat inside. He's he's

26
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 2: got a little bit of everything. He's really developed his game.

27
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 2: It's really cool to watch a player that he really

28
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 2: didn't give much mind to when he was in Arizona

29
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 2: and then and then all of a sudden, his time's

30
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 2: gone on. He just keeps working at his craft, working

31
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 2: at his craft and becomes this really elite pass rusher,

32
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 2: which is which is really cool to see for me anyway,

33
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 2: to watch a guy developed Colton probably wishes he didn't

34
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 2: develop quite as fast.

35
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 1: They have a three four defense, but do they ever

36
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,960
Speaker 1: do any of the wide nine stuff that they've gone

37
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: in the past.

38
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, Oh, definitely when they get to nickel, when they

39
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 2: go to their nickel four down package, and really, at

40
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 2: the end of the day, those two guys that are

41
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,319
Speaker 2: the outside linebackers really play like wide nines anyway, But

42
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:40,759
Speaker 2: when they get to the four down it looks much

43
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:42,319
Speaker 2: more like our defense with a two I and a

44
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,399
Speaker 2: three technique inside and then the two guys that are

45
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 2: the outside linebackers playing those end positions, So it's very

46
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 2: similar to what they've always done.

47
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 1: But does he play like a kind of a bigger, stronger.

48
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 2: And he plays with great leverage. Both those guys who

49
00:01:57,960 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 2: are a really nice job of setting the edge with lever,

50
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 2: use their arm length, use their use their you know, anchor.

51
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 2: They can bend and sit down and they do a

52
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 2: good job. Both those guys are are good edgectters.

53
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: Is John Fliciano upgrade from Burford? And if so, how

54
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 1: is he the superior.

55
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:19,359
Speaker 2: Player right now? I say that everybody's great about the

56
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 2: same this season. There's it's a there's a very fine

57
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 2: line between all of them, so to say that one

58
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,399
Speaker 2: is an upgrade over another, and they all bring something

59
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 2: different to the table. All the guys that are in

60
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 2: their trends. The only guy that kind of is an outlier.

61
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 2: It's probably you know, cut above everybody else as far

62
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 2: as ability and the things he does. But when you

63
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 2: look at the rest of the guys, you can get

64
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 2: any any given game and you can say, oh, this week,

65
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,679
Speaker 2: Colton's better this week, Spencer's better this week, John's better

66
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 2: this week, Trent uh Jake do it. It's it's we're

67
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:44,919
Speaker 2: all about the same. They all play well together, they

68
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 2: work well together, and it's just what they bring to

69
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 2: the table on a given week. Well, John's thing is

70
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:56,639
Speaker 2: he's in past protection. He's pretty reliable, he's very very

71
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 2: his his experience level is I guess the thing that

72
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 2: would be the most. You know, he's been there, done that,

73
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 2: played in the games, has experienced all the things, has

74
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 2: played against these players that we're playing against this week,

75
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 2: you know, being in the division against them the last

76
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 2: couple of years. So every like I say, every week,

77
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,919
Speaker 2: it's a different thing. And then so John, John brings

78
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 2: that experience level, and I'd say as past protection part

79
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 2: of the thing, he's probably doing the best job of.

80
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 1: Right now, where is your offensive line, both individually and

81
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: working together, compared to like or what you hoped or

82
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: expected they would be at this point in the season

83
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: to where they actually are right now? Are you pleased

84
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: with the way the offensive line is coming along?

85
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:41,839
Speaker 2: Yeah? I mean, you know, I just I just say

86
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 2: we're still we're still trying to get better. I mean pleased,

87
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 2: you know, gosh, you know we've been okay, you know,

88
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 2: we were productive. Offense has been productive and running the

89
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 2: ball protection wise, but but there's just so many things

90
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 2: we can do better. We're just not there yet. We're

91
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 2: working progress, man, we are. Each individual is getting a

92
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 2: little bit better every week. That's the I did notice

93
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 2: over the bye week and it's continued these last three

94
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 2: weeks since the buye that I did notice like it

95
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 2: was it was incremental, it was small. But Spencer, Colton, Jake,

96
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 2: you know Banks to a degree that he got hurt,

97
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 2: you saw him getting better. Even Trent. You know, Trent

98
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 2: has to get himself back into playing shape from early

99
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 2: in the season. As we go through the year, he

100
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 2: gets better and better as the year goes on, as

101
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 2: long as he stays healthy. And so I think we're

102
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 2: progressing and working to get better. But man, there's a

103
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 2: lot to do. What I like seeing as a group

104
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 2: is I do think they're beginning to work better as

105
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 2: a group as each week goes on. That's the thing

106
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 2: that I hope continues. You know, there's so many things

107
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 2: that go into playing well together as a group, and

108
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 2: it's not just line up next to the same guy.

109
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 2: It's just understanding the concept of a play and understand

110
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 2: how the defense, you know, how we apply our techniques

111
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 2: and fundamentals to that play against this particular defense and

112
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 2: then having the guys being on the same page with it.

113
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 2: That's the thing that's really exciting to watch is it

114
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 2: goes on. And as I've stayed here before, it's you know,

115
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 2: you play football every day, and we play six days

116
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 2: a week or whatever it is. We get to practice

117
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:02,279
Speaker 2: and do all that we get to do, and guys

118
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 2: can get better. And our guys, you know, because of

119
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 2: Kyle and how we do things here, they're always working.

120
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,919
Speaker 2: We're always making sure that they they have to work

121
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 2: and when they work at it, and they tend to

122
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 2: get better if they have the ability to do it.

123
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 2: So it's been incremental. Not there yet, I mean not

124
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:18,280
Speaker 2: at all. I'm glad, you know we got these We

125
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,840
Speaker 2: got six regular season games left to see how we do.

126
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 2: This will be a great test to see where we.

127
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:24,840
Speaker 1: Are a lot of the lines. Are you happy that

128
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 1: this game's coming, you know, first week in December and

129
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,039
Speaker 1: not the middle of September.

130
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 2: I'm good either way. I'm good either way. You know,

131
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 2: that's a tough opponent. They'd have been tough in September,

132
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,160
Speaker 2: They'd have been tough in December. They're They're a really

133
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:39,279
Speaker 2: really good opponent, good.

134
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: Team to run on the Eagles defensive you.

135
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 2: Know that they like Like when we played Jacksonville, the

136
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,039
Speaker 2: thing that we commented on was that it wasn't like

137
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 2: it was confusing. It wasn't like they had a bunch

138
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,279
Speaker 2: of crazy things to pick up and block. They just

139
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 2: defeat blocks. Well, they just are good players, you know,

140
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,039
Speaker 2: the big guys inside get off blocks and make tackles

141
00:05:58,040 --> 00:05:59,600
Speaker 2: the edge set or set edges and get rid of

142
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:01,159
Speaker 2: the guys trying to block him on the edge and

143
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 2: make tackles. The inside linebackers, although they've lost one of them.

144
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 2: The more you study them, man, they're hard to get

145
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 2: blocked on a second level. They do a good job

146
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 2: of either running around or running over the top of

147
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 2: and making lineman miss them on the second level and

148
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,480
Speaker 2: they get to make tackles and they do a good

149
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 2: job of not getting blocked. And I guess that's what

150
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 2: makes you pretty good on defense.

151
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,280
Speaker 1: Feeling Carter does some amazing things. What does he What

152
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:23,479
Speaker 1: do you see when you watch.

153
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 2: Him, Well, just the thing as you see obviously you

154
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 2: know the run defense, and we just talked about it.

155
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 2: How strong and physical the guys are upfront. They do

156
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 2: a good job of dealing with blockers and getting off

157
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,040

Speaker 2: can rush the passer. He's just got. This tremendous explosion

00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 2: into a guy and all of a sudden bam, a

161
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 2: quick movement. He's he's off the guy and in the

162
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:48,600
