1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,480
Speaker 1: Coach. I was wondering how Duke Goffin has progressed and uh,

2
00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:07,360
Speaker 1: and how sort of quickly he's been able to pick

3
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:12,160
Speaker 1: things up after being away. No, Duke was kind of

4
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 1: you know, kept himself involved and you know, well, you

5
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 1: know he was, he was down for that a little

6
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 1: bit bit period. I think he's he's come in obviously

7
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:24,160
Speaker 1: he's a hard worker. Um, he's a smart kid. Um,

8
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 1: he's not everything possible to kind of get himself back

9
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 1: up to speed, you know in practice and meetings and

10
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:33,279
Speaker 1: walk through is doing a little bit extra so um,

11
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 1: you know, every day he's just got to come in

12
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 1: and and do a great job of preparation, a great

13
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 1: job of practice, and you know, we'll see where it

14
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 1: goes from there. With somebody in his situation, do you

15
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 1: try to get him good at specific things so you

16
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 1: can use him in a specific situation or is it

17
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 1: something you try to get him caught up on everything

18
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 1: so it can eventually be somebody you can use it

19
00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:03,639
Speaker 1: kind of across the board. Um, I think we try

20
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 1: to get them caught up really on everything across the board,

21
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 1: because I think overall we're trying to make him or

22
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 1: help him become the best overall player he can be. Um. Obviously,

23
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 1: there's specific roles UM, specific situations. You know, we try

24
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: to put guys in UM and you know, if that

25
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,119
Speaker 1: is that's what if that's what the game plan calls

26
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 1: for it, and that's that's obviously the role that he

27
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,400
Speaker 1: or any other player we're kind of focusing on. So UM,

28
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: I think every player is a little bit different. UM

29
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 1: and Dukes no different from that standpoint. Um. Um, Obviously,

30
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 1: we always try to put the guys in the best

31
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 1: position to do what they do well. And you know

32
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: that's a week to week thing, and you know, we'll

33
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 1: see what that is this week. Thank you. Question. Next

34
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: question Mike for Tragna, and i'd ask anyone to get

35
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:58,279
Speaker 1: five start if you want to ask him. Other question morning, Brian,

36
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: how are you and Mike good? Um? I wanted to

37
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: ask you a pretty generic question, and that is your

38
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 1: familiarity with the personnel over the course of the season

39
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:13,919
Speaker 1: and how that lends itself to your confidence in calling

40
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 1: a particular play. How is this progressed? Yeah? Sure, How

41
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: how's your familiarity with the personnel? I mean, obviously you

42
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: already had a base of familiarity with the personnel, But

43
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: I'm I want to get a feel from you as

44
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: the season has gone on, knowing what you have, how

45
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 1: has that made it easier to call particular plays in

46
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:45,359
Speaker 1: particular situations? Um, I would say, um, you know, every

47
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: week we kind of go through our personnel as well

48
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: as the offensive personnel, and you know, we try to

49
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: especially can you know, create the best matchups and put

50
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 1: guys in the best position possible as I released to

51
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 1: the game. Um, you know, really I would say, you know,

52
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: you know, first down, second down, third down, red zone,

53
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 1: you know, the different areas of the field. Um, you know,

54
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: we have an idea of you know, what they're trying

55
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: to do offensively, and we try to counter that with

56
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 1: the best you know, grouping and we can put on

57
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: the field defensively. Now that that changes play to play,

58
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: So um, you know, as a staff, and it's not

59
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:28,679
Speaker 1: just me, you know, we got a great staff here

60
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: and um you know we're on the headsets and you know, uh,

61
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: you know the staff here, whether it's you know Boyer,

62
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 1: Josh Boyer or brand Daily or you know Steve or DeMarcus,

63
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: you know, all those all those guys do a great job.

64
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: But just um, you know, helping me as far as Okay,

65
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 1: it's this situation, it's we're in this part of the field,

66
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: the balls on this hast and that all kind of

67
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: plays a role into you know, us trying to get

68
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: the best grouping on the field against what what um,

69
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: you know what whatever you know, personnel group and that

70
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: they're giving us offensive away. Um. Um. So I would say,

71
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 1: you know, as the season's progressed, Uh, you know, we

72
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 1: all as a group have have have you know obviously um,

73
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: gotten a better feel for each other as far as

74
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: far as you know, getting the best grouping out there. Um,

75
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 1: But that changes week to week and we'll just you know,

76
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: continue to try to do our best job, do our

77
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 1: best to get the best grouping out there. And if

78
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 1: I could follow up Brian in terms of first and

79
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:34,479
Speaker 1: second down, how critical those are in terms of being

80
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: able to dictate what you call um as a coordinator

81
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:42,679
Speaker 1: or as a play call defensive play caller, um, especially

82
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 1: on third down, well, every down it's important, so and

83
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 1: every snapping the game is important. We try to we

84
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: try to you know, let our players know that. I

85
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 1: mean it's you know, you don't never know what what

86
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:57,799
Speaker 1: you know play is going to come to the game's

87
00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: going to come down to so we want everyone to

88
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:05,719
Speaker 1: be to be good. UM. But yeah, first or second

89
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: down obviously very important. UM. Obviously, the better you do

90
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: on first or second down, the longer UM third down

91
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:18,479
Speaker 1: is and UM percentage wise, just across the league, you know,

92
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: longer yard is on on third down, you know you

93
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: have a high percentage of getting off the field. So

94
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: you know, all downs are important. You know, I still

95
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,719
Speaker 1: got to do you know, a good job or a

96
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 1: better job stopping a run we'll stop in the past game,

97
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: you know, creating pressure on the quarterback. UM. Those are

98
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: all goals and things we try to get accomplished on

99
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: a week to week basis. You know, it starts with

100
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:45,039
Speaker 1: fundamentals and technique, UM, like it does every week. You know,

101
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 1: something we preach here, we talk about every week we

102
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 1: practice and you know we practice them every day in

103
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 1: our individual drills. UM. So I think that's where it starts.

104
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 1: You know, you can say all you want about first down,

105
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,719
Speaker 1: second down, but it starts with fundamentals. UM. And you know,

106
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 1: no good place and you can't have good play without

107
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 1: good fundamentals. And you know when we play with good fundamentals,

108
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 1: we have good you know, we have good production on

109
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: those downs and we don't. We don't, So we just

110
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 1: got to continue to you know, stress the fundamentals and

111
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 1: do a better job. Uh and of uh you know

112
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: plan with with you know, good fundamentals technique. Thanks to Brian,

113
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 1: the next question would be filled hairy fallowed by Mike Reefs. Hey, Brian,

114
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:36,039
Speaker 1: I UM, I am curious. We've seen occasionally you guys

115
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: bring defensive backs corners on on blitzes and I'm wondering

116
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 1: what makes it good blitzing defensive back, Um, if you

117
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 1: even look at them that way, or if it's just

118
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:50,719
Speaker 1: you know, having some speed, you know, attacking the backfield

119
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:54,479
Speaker 1: when when you do call for those types of plays. Uh. Yeah,

120
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:58,919
Speaker 1: I mean it's definitely something we um we evaluate. You know,

121
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:03,479
Speaker 1: there's good blitzers, there's not so good blitzers. Um. From

122
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: the secondary, I think we got a good group here,

123
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: whether it's Pat Chung to the Cordy to John Jones,

124
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: uh to Jern Harmon. I mean, I think we got

125
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 1: a good group of guys who can pressure to quarterback.

126
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 1: And again it's not something you can do on every snap,

127
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 1: but um, I think you guys the offense a little

128
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 1: bit different look. Uh um kind of helps us in

129
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 1: a you know, variety of ways from the sky standpoint,

130
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 1: from you know, skan standpoint. It's just a different look

131
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 1: to the offense. So, um, as much as we can

132
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 1: do that, you know, when we can do it, it's

133
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: uh dog is no, I don't know. Okay, um gold

134
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 1: one line on muted line, muted Hello, Okay, you can continue. Okay,

135
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 1: sorry about that. I'm actually and we're looking for a dog.

136
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 1: So I was just wondering, Um, where was I? Um,

137
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 1: we were talking about blitzing secondary players. I believe Yeah, Okay,

138
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 1: I'm I'm okay, Uh yeah, I mean we've got um,

139
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 1: I think we've got a good group of blitzing secondary players. UM.

140
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 1: And I think those guys do a good job. We'll

141
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: try to continue to do that if we can. And

142
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 1: you know, um, but I think they do a lot

143
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: of good things. Well do a lot of things well,

144
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 1: whether there's coverage where it's blitzing, whether it's those zone coverage.

145
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: And again I'm like, well know you're gonna hear me

146
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 1: say this. It sounds like a uh you know, I'd

147
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 1: repeat it over and over again. It really starts with

148
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 1: fundamentals and technique, and we just got to continue to

149
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: work on that on a day to day basis. Um.

150
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: You know, I practice individuals and hopefully we continue to

151
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 1: get better as you know as blitzers. But really across

152
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:56,320
Speaker 1: the board, I'm gonna attempt to Uh, I'm you all

153
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 1: lines here so we can hear Mike Reef. They're not

154
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: just not allowing me to do individuals. To hang on

155

Speaker 1: get my my good good snap count out. You know,

158
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 1: Um Bryant Sam Donald, I'm very curious, um, what stands

159
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 1: out to you about him? And in turn, when he's

160
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:26,080

161
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 1: in um, what you're defending from the Jets. I think

162
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 1: you know, Sam Sam Sam Donald, He's uh, I've been

163
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 1: very impressive with him. I think he could make every

164
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 1: throw release. Um, I think he's mentally tough. You go

165
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 1: back to week one, he throws an interception on first play. Ever,

166
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: he comes back, doesn't get rattled, comes back in and

171
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: special talent. Man. I think he's already kind of emerged

172
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,679
Speaker 1: as a great leader for them. Um. You know, I

173

Speaker 1: the money a year ago. Um. You know he's another

179
