00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:06,320
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Raves Prespass Podcast. It is Thursday, October thirty. First,

2
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:08,600
Speaker 1: the Ravens are gearing up for Sunday's game against the

3
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:11,080
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos. Today, we had a chance to hear from

4
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:13,640
Speaker 1: the coordinator, so let's kick it off with offensive coordinator

5
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 1: at Todd Munkett.

6
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 2: Can you talk about the difficulty of going through the.

7
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 3: Practice week when you don't have your starting quarterback out

8
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 3: there for a couple of first couple of days.

9
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 4: I mean, it is what it is, you know, Josh,

10
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 4: can you use the work? I mean, that's what you do.

11
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 4: You get prepared for it, and like any other position,

12
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,839
Speaker 4: you go to work and you know, guys have to

13
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 4: still function around him. That what the calls are. The

14
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:43,159
Speaker 4: calls are upfront and our skill guys, and we've got

15
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:46,240
Speaker 4: to have, you know, high level of execution no matter

16
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 4: who's at what position.

17
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 5: Obviously, you guys are able to bring in.

18
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 3: Deontae Johnson done a lot of things well across the

19
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 3: board offensively.

20
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 2: What do you think he can.

21
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 6: Maybe at an element he can add to your offense

22
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 6: that you'd like to see get better even what you've

23
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 6: already accomplished.

24
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 4: Well, I think, first of all just seen him the

25
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 4: first couple of days. I like what I see. I

26
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 4: think he adds tremendous depth to us at receiver. I

27
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 4: think he gives us another guy that can separate. I

28
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 4: think that's really what you're you know. I think our

29
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 4: tight ends can separate. I think our receivers can separate.

30
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 4: I think we've got other guys that you know, can win,

31
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 4: and I just think it allows us to. You know, again,

32
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 4: you're just always trying to add talent, and I think

33
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:30,039
Speaker 4: we've added a talented player.

34
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 7: Thought was a you know, if he had a one

35
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 7: hundred and fifteen yards last game and it's kind of

36
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:36,960
Speaker 7: had a couple.

37
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 8: Of really big games and season where you've seen his

38
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 8: growth from last year into this year.

39
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 4: Well, I think a couple of weeks ago I kind

40
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 4: of mentioned. I just think there's a lot of things

41
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 4: that go into that. I think our first year for

42
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 4: a rookie, everything's different where he lives, different, food's different,

43
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:59,559
Speaker 4: coaching is different systems different, the stage you're on is different.

44
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 4: Lot of players, some not as much, but for others,

45
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 4: it is having to deal with everything that comes with

46
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 4: being a professional player. Social media. How do you handle

47
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 4: that part of it. How do you handle the length

48
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 4: of a season? I mean, holy cow, how long our

49
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 4: season is. I think it's just the comfort of already

50
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 4: going through it, Like all of us, when you go

51
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 4: through something, I think it's easier second time around if

52
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 4: you advantage point.

53
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 9: What was kind of the reason in the game Sunday

54
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 9: why the offense may not have looked the way that

55
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:29,959
Speaker 9: they have coming into that game.

56
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 4: Well, they're good. I mean, let's start with that. I

57
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 4: mean they're good on defense. I mean that's a fact,

58
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 4: and you have to give them some credit. Okay, that

59
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 4: part of it. With that being said, you know, eight

60
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 4: times we got inside the fifty, we got in their territory,

61
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 4: we scored four. That's really in a nutshell. I mean,

62
00:02:52,440 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 4: between lost shortage plays, missfort down opportunity, some penalties, that's

63
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 4: what you're gonna end up with. We didn't play as

64
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 4: clean as we'd been playing, and that showed, and that

65
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 4: got us to where, Okay, you know, twenty four wasn't

66
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 4: good enough. You know, it just wasn't. And we're certainly

67
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,919
Speaker 4: capable of better, and our guys know it. We got

68
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 4: behind the sticks a little more than you want to.

69
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 4: We we bailed ourselves out the week before, we had

70
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 4: a number of get back on tracks we got out

71
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 4: of with the penalties. We didn't do that as well

72
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 4: this week, and that stung us. You know, we had

73
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,799
Speaker 4: some other opportunities that we just didn't you know, take

74
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 4: advantage of. We're close and we made a number of

75
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 4: really good plays. But and there's some calls you wish

76
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 4: you had back on part of that too, So it's

77
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 4: all of us, right, that's part of it.

78
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 6: See, Derrick Henry's had a ton of success on the

79
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 6: direct snap kind of stuff over his career. How hard

80
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 6: is it for you to make a decision to take

81
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 6: the ball out of the marsh hands given how good

82
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 6: he is?

83
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 4: Well, when it doesn't work, for sure, I mean it's

84
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 4: you know, like any play, when it doesn't work, it's disappointing.

85
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 4: It just happens when it's fourth down, whether you're in

86
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 4: your own end and you decide to go forward, or

87
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 4: in midfield and you decide to go forward, or when

88
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,119
Speaker 4: you have a chance to get points and you don't

89
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 4: get it. You look at a number of things. How

90
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 4: do we scheme it, you know, the thought that went

91
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:19,919
Speaker 4: into it, how we blocked it, Like any any given play,

92
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 4: it's just those plays are the ones that you know

93
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 4: that really sting. As we know, if it's a third down,

94
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,280
Speaker 4: all right, find we get another shot at it. Hey

95
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 4: we kicked the field goal when it's a fourth down, mean,

96
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 4: it's it. We've got to be on We got to

97
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 4: be on point with how we design it and to

98
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 4: give ourselves the best chance, because we had a chance

99
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,599
Speaker 4: right there to you know, but even before that play,

100
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 4: I mean we get back to back penalties. I mean

101
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:43,039
Speaker 4: that that's what did it. We would have been on

102
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 4: the two and a half yard line, so the penalties

103
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:46,919
Speaker 4: backed us up. Then we get to that and then

104
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 4: I make that call and you know, it stops all

105
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 4: the momentum scoring on the first drive. That's happened too

106
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 4: in the last three weeks. We've moved it down there

107
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 4: and we've turned it over either on downs or a

108
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 4: turnover like we did against Commanders, And it's unacceptable.

109
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 6: The team trading for Deontay Johnson Keith Mitchell now trending.

110
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:04,839
Speaker 5: Towards the return.

111
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 6: How much of a bonus is that.

112
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:10,039
Speaker 10: To offense it's already been per forming at a really high level.

113
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:16,840
Speaker 4: Well, I mean again, having really talented players is and

114
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 4: having a really talented staff and a game plan that

115
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,720
Speaker 4: they understand allows you to really function at a high level.

116
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 4: But it starts with having a really talented player. So

117
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 4: it's exciting to get those guys back. And it also

118
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 4: provides depth. If you lose somebody, I mean, that's really

119
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,160
Speaker 4: you're that's the nature of what we do. You're gonna

120
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 4: lose players. So having quality depth guys that can come

121
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,840
Speaker 4: in and function a really high level and when your

122
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 4: expectations are really high. If your expectations aren't really high,

123
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 4: then well that's different. We're the Baltimore Ravens, so we're

124
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 4: expected to win. So whoever that is, we gotta have

125
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 4: enough depth to do that. Go ahead, Are you stuck

126
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 4: to keeping back this week? That's not up to me.

127
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:02,919
Speaker 9: The edition of deonce, do you feel like it allows

128
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 9: you guys to do anything differently or in terms of looks,

129
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 9: formations or even some of the things you guys do

130
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:10,720
Speaker 9: within all of it.

131
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 4: We'll see see he gets acclimated, you know. First week's

132
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:18,039
Speaker 4: always tough, you know, getting him involved, and you know,

133
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 4: but I'm excited what I've seen the first two days,

134
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 4: you know, and we'll see where it goes, you know,

135
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 4: some of that's game planning, how we want to tax somebody,

136
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,839
Speaker 4: how many receivers we want in the game, where we

137
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 4: go from here. Same with the tight ends in terms

138
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:33,599
Speaker 4: of where are the backs we have on the field.

139
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,159
Speaker 5: To talk about just the kind of pressure that Denver

140
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 5: can put on offense with their blitz packages, and also

141
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 5: just the talents of cornerbacks and safeties that they had.

142
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're playing at a really high level, very confidence,

143
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 4: very confident. Their guys are really active. I mean they

144
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 4: play hard, and that's one thing you see on film.

145
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:58,919
Speaker 4: You know, they've done a great job of building the

146
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 4: core personalities of the players they've got playing on the field.

147
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 4: I think that's impressive, how hard they play and schematically,

148
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 4: how they challenge you with their pressure package. So we're

149
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 4: up for it. You know, our guys are excited. We've

150
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 4: seen that for the last four weeks. We've seen teams

151
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 4: that have decided to pressure us. That's to me where

152
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 4: the league is going. Otherwise we wouldn't be seeing it

153
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 4: as much. So we've got to be on point with

154
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 4: all of our IDs and where we go with the ball.

155
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 3: When you look at the kind of the philosophy behind

156
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 3: those short yardage calls. It is part of it that

157
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 3: Lamar just can't draw quite as much attention in those

158
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 3: situations as he as he normally does. I mean that

159
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 3: is that why maybe it's not as much of a

160
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 3: factor to have the ball in his hands or not

161
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 3: in his hands.

162
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 4: I don't know. We love it to be in his

163
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 4: hands and we love for it to be in Derek's hands,

164
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 4: and unfortunately it didn't work. You know, early in the

165
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 4: year and the goal line. We did it and we scored,

166
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 4: and you know, it's a different situation. It was on

167
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 4: fourth down. You know, this one happened to be in

168
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 4: fourth down, So it stings a lot more as I mean,

169
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 4: we're not gonna do it again, but we're going to

170
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 4: do whatever we think is necessary to convert and score points.

171
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 4: Just didn't didn't work out that time, and we got

172
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 4: we gotta we got to do it better. I mean,

173
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 4: that's just the way it is with every every call

174
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 4: that's it's on me.

175
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 10: The offense obviously has played really well for the most

176
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 10: part this year, have been efficient and so forth. It's

177
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 10: curious keep talking about being clean and those sorts of

178
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 10: things that going back to Cleveland, what was the conversation

179
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 10: with Lamar in terms of that stuff post post game,

180
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 10: in terms of the offense and to get back to

181
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 10: where you guys want to.

182
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:36,839
Speaker 2: Get back to.

183
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 4: Oh, you know, it's I think every week that we

184
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 4: look at the tape. It's not really Lamar per se,

185
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 4: as it is with everybody. It's pretty easy to look

186
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,199
Speaker 4: at the tape and you know, look and say, hey,

187
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 4: where can we get better here? Starting with me, staff,

188
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 4: getting in front of the mistakes, which is what coaching is.

189
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 4: It's getting in front of it before it shows up

190
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,439
Speaker 4: on game day. That's what we're paid to do, and

191
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 4: letting our players shine, and then they got to do

192
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 4: their part. How do we how do we do it

193
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 4: better in practice? How do we get it to where

194
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 4: you know, the gifts we haven't been turning it over

195
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:23,359
Speaker 4: from a gift standpoint, but from a discipline of route running, assignment, communication,

196
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 4: penalties that really put you behind the eight ball in

197
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 4: terms of consistency. And because we're plenty capable, we have

198
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:37,319
Speaker 4: plenty of good players. So that's really the biggest part,

199
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 4: starting with me, our staff players, eliminating the things that

200
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 4: that stops you from being as efficient as you want

201
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 4: to be. I mean that's a lot of talk, but

202
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 4: the reality is is it's pretty obvious on tape when

203
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 4: we do things the right way. Okay, starting with me

204
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 4: and everybody else, we're pretty difficult to handle. But we

205
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 4: just got to continue down that road to again eliminate

206
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 4: the things that let stop you from you know, scorings,

207
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 4: made points you don't need to win.

208
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 1: Next up is defensive coordinator Zach Orr.

209
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:16,559
Speaker 5: Zach, you know that that last Cleveland possession and obviously

210
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 5: the big pass by Jamis, But but your pressures sending

211
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 5: a lot of guys. M was with the pressure up

212
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:31,839
Speaker 5: to that point, you know, adequate and and did you

213
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 5: feel like you had to send more guys to the.

214
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,959
Speaker 2: Comments in Yeah, I think in that situation, they're right there.

215
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 11: They ended up getting doing a good job and getting

216
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 11: right down that line of the edge of field goal range.

217
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 11: So trying to knock them out, knock them out of

218
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 11: field goal range and then you know, make it as

219
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 11: far as field goal as possible, and then worst case scenario,

220
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 11: at least if they are going to score, they score

221
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 11: fast to give our offense a chance to you know,

222
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 11: go down there and and give them a chance to

223
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 11: score and win the game. So that was kind of

224
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 11: thinking that was going in and behind how we called

225
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 11: the game, how gress we were at that point in time.

226
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: The mass rushing and coverage obviously go hand in hand.

227
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 1: You know, what's your view of the pass rush and

228
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,439
Speaker 1: how you kind of balance call on blitzes and getting

229
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 1: out of the quarterback, But just the view of the

230
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 1: pass rush over roll.

231
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 11: Yeah, I think you just said it perfectly, like Russian

232
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 11: Russian coverage works perfectly.

233
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 2: It has to work perfectly together for it to work.

234
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:21,439
Speaker 11: I mean, you can have great coverage, but now the

235
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 11: quarterback holds on to the ball, and just the nature

236
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 11: of the National Football League corporate has a lot of time.

237
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 11: No matter how good your coverage is, he's gonna be

238
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:30,319
Speaker 11: able to find and guys are gonna be able to

239
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 11: get open. And on the flip side, if your coverage

240
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 11: gets there, you have If your rush gets there, your

241
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 11: coverage has to be able to you know, sustain at

242
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 11: least early on so the rush has a chance. So

243
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 11: we've had good examples, great examples of the Russian coverage

244
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 11: working together. And when it works together, I mean it's beautiful.

245
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 11: When not right now, it's not clicking as much as

246
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 11: we need it.

247
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 2: To be.

248
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:50,679
Speaker 11: So we got different ways that we're trying to look

249
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 11: at and find ways where we can generate you know,

250
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 11: pressure obviously with blitzes, but just with the four men

251
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 11: rush and just marrying the coverage and the rush together.

252
00:11:58,080 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 11: So we're on the same page, and I think that

253
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 11: will help lead for more big plays for us and

254
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:03,719
Speaker 11: eliminate big plays with offense.

255
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 2: On the tilman slant touchdowner.

256
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 10: It's not the first time.

257
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 12: Why is it happening that the other team is snapping

258
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 12: the ball and the regulars defense isn't ready.

259
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, I mean it's it's unfortunate. It's unfortunate.

260
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 4: You know.

261
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 11: Obviously we want to make sure that we get lined up.

262
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 11: I got to make sure I get the call in

263
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 11: fast enough for those guys. So it's a combination of

264
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 11: those things. But I think that we got a good

265
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 11: resolution to those problems getting the call in fast, keep

266
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 11: a thing simple, and going out there executing. But obviously

267
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 11: it's costing us at critical points of the game. So

268
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 11: I got to do a better job, and we got

269
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 11: to do a better job of executing and with the communication,

270
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 11: and I think that we got a great plan going

271
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 11: forward to make sure that we take care of that

272
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 11: because you definitely don't want you want to be able

273
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 11: to be lined up to give yourself a chance. If

274
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 11: you're not lined up, I mean that's you know, you're

275
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 11: given offense an easy way off the hook.

276
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,559
Speaker 13: If you sure guys hold on to some interceptions, the

277
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 13: entire story about the defense is probably very different. How

278
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 13: frustrating is that and has it affected then the way

279
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,200
Speaker 13: you make calls knowing the guys are not made some

280
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 13: of those.

281
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,320
Speaker 11: Players, Yeah, it's frustrating obviously, you know we expect to

282
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 11: make those plays.

283
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 2: I mean, it's National Football League.

284
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 11: We look at interceptions when they writ in our hands

285
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 11: like a free throw in basketball.

286
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 2: You gotta make those. So we look at it.

287
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 11: Our guys are working hard at it, and it doesn't

288
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 11: change the way that I'm calling it, or we're looking

289
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 11: at as a defensive staff or coaches, because our guys are.

290
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 2: In position to make plays.

291
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 11: Our job as coaches to help those guys put them

292
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:27,960
Speaker 11: in the best possible position as possible.

293
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 2: So we always striving for that.

294
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 11: And guys they've been in position a lot of times

295
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 11: and I'm confident that they're gonna come down with those plays.

296
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:37,680
Speaker 11: So we just keep coaching it, keep keep coaching, tracking

297
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 11: the ball, catching the ball, work extra on catching and

298
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 11: tracking the ball, and then when those opportunities come, we

299
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 11: got to capitalize on them. So nobody's more frustrated than

300
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 11: the guys who've had those opportunities. So, you know, we

301
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,719
Speaker 11: appreciate the attention of detail that they've they've taken to

302
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 11: make sure that we come up with those opportunities next

303
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 11: time they present themselves.

304
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 2: I'm open those opportunities.

305
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 5: Do you think that's sort of men to Is you

306
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 5: a confidence issue?

307
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:04,320
Speaker 14: And is that more sort of kind of putting pressure

308
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,200
Speaker 14: on yourself when you see the ball coming forward you.

309
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean, I don't know. I don't think.

310
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 11: I think the crazy enough is it could be a

311
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 11: mental issue or confident issue.

312
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 2: But with our guys, I don't.

313
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 11: See it as a as a confident mental issue because

314
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 11: they're very confident group.

315
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:17,440
Speaker 2: They're still mentally strong.

316
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 11: You know, they're catching, they're catching some interceptions in practice,

317
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 11: which is which is good. Now we got to take

318
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 11: it over to the game. So just they I you know,

319
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 11: I expect them to keep on attacking the football, and

320
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 11: I know for a fact I'm confident that we're gonna

321
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 11: start coming away with those, so it's it's gonna be

322
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 11: good for us.

323
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 2: Exactly.

324
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 3: Like a fan came up to you in the grocery

325
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 3: store or something, and maybe maybe it's somebody who's not

326
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 3: locked into all the details of the team and they

327
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 3: just said to you, why is this thing not working

328
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 3: as well now as it was at this time? Rusher,

329
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 3: what will be your answers?

330
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 2: That's good, that's a good question. My answer.

331
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 11: My answer would be, like, you know, everything doesn't. You know,

332
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 11: even though you're putting into work, everything doesn't come together

333
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 11: as fast as you may want it to.

334
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 2: All you can do is continue to grind.

335
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:59,479
Speaker 11: Continue to chase perfection, and continue.

336
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 2: To work at And that's what we're doing.

337
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 11: And we know that the work that we're putting in,

338
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 11: we know that attention of detail that we're doing is

339
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 11: gonna pay off. And you know, obviously it sounds like

340
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 11: a broken record, been saying that for a couple of weeks,

341
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 11: but I honestly truly believe that with the coaches and

342
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 11: the players that we have, it's gonna come together, and

343
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 11: it's gonna come together at the right time, and it's

344
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 11: gonna be big for us down this last half of

345
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 11: the season.

346
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 2: A big picture.

347
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 6: When things aren't doing as well as you want them

348
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 6: to be, how much do you say yourself, well, you

349
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 6: have to change some of what we're doing to get

350
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 6: different results. Versus, hey, I believe in what we've built here.

351
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 6: We need to be patient for it to come together.

352
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, look, you look at all of it.

353
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 11: I think you'll be crazy if you look at some

354
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 11: things and be like, you don't have to change some

355
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 11: stuff up. So we've been looking at that hard look

356
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 11: and see what our guys can go out there and

357
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 11: absolutely execute to the highest level and feel confident and

358
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 11: and we're gonna do that. And also you look at

359
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 11: some of the things that you may not have executed

360
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 11: like you wanted to, but you're looking at the rules,

361
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 11: the fundamentals and the principles of everything is sound and

362
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 11: we've got examples of doing that well. So you just

363
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 11: continue to try to coach up. So it's a good

364
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 11: balance you have to you have to find. But here

365
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 11: we're we're always about what can our players do, uh,

366
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 11: and what can they execute at a high level and

367
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 11: go out there and play confident fast.

368
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 2: So we're always looking at that.

369
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 11: And me me personally, I'm I don't care what what

370
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 11: we run, what covers you run. If we got a blitz,

371
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 11: a whole bunch, if we don't have the blitz at all, whatever,

372
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 11: these guys can go do whatever's gonna help us play

373
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 11: at a high level of defense. That's that's what we're

374
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 11: gonna do.

375
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 9: How concerned are you about the health status of your

376
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 9: interior of your defensive line right now? And how does

377
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 9: that impact the way you may call the game?

378
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 2: Yeah?

379
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 11: Man, I mean, obviously we got some guys that are

380
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 11: banged up. You know, we'll see if they if they

381
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 11: you know, make it to the game Sunday, obviously, Uh,

382
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 11: those guys are very important players for us. But I

383
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 11: mean the guys we got behind them, I'm excited about.

384
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 11: They've been getting some good work in practice. So uh,

385
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 11: here in Baltimore, the interior d line is something we

386
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 11: take serious and we always have a contingency plan for that.

387
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 11: And I don't think that's gonna really change, you know,

388
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 11: the way the way we call it. You know, if

389
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 11: we have to adapt in game, we will, but I

390
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 11: don't think that's gonna change the way. We got big

391
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 11: guys from the starters, from the depth pieces, big strong,

392
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,360
Speaker 11: physical guys who know how to play square and get

393
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 11: after it.

394
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:10,120
Speaker 3: When you have a guy like Marcus Williams who used

395
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 3: to playing every snap every week doesn't play at all,

396
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 3: do you do you feel a need to explain the

397
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:18,199
Speaker 3: reasoning mind that not just to him, but to the

398
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 3: entire secondary or the entire defense, so they sort of

399
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 3: understand the big picture of.

400
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 4: What's going on.

401
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean we've had those.

402
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:26,879
Speaker 11: We had those conversations together with Marcus obviously, and then

403
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 11: with the defense on a personal level. So you know,

404
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 11: we kept those in the house. We had those conversations.

405
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 11: And one thing I say about Marcus is the way

406
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:39,120
Speaker 11: he the way he handled what went down is great man.

407
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 11: And he's just a great teammate. He's been a pro

408
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 11: since he's been here. He handled last week like a pro.

409
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 11: So I'm excited to see how we move and how

410
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:49,359
Speaker 11: he moves going forward. So, like I said, like I

411
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 11: got up here and said last we got all the

412
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 11: confidence in Marcus Williams. So, like I said, he had

413
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 11: a great day of practice today, great day of practice yesterday,

414
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 11: and you know, I think that the best is to

415
00:17:58,480 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 11: come for him.

416
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:02,640
Speaker 13: So that consimilated pressures that were really effective a lot

417
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 13: last year and pretty good bills this year. Really well,

418
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,879
Speaker 13: things don't seem to be as effective currently. Do you

419
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 13: are going back and look, do you think or is

420
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 13: there a tipping at all going on of letting them

421
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:13,920
Speaker 13: know which as you study it? Why do you think

422
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 13: it's not.

423
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 2: Been as effective?

424
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 11: I think it's just a you know a combination of

425
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,439
Speaker 11: things of the or we're getting there, but the coverage

426
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:23,359
Speaker 11: is just a tick off, or we're making a misstep.

427
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 11: So I think it's been effective for us, has been

428
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 11: good for us, but at certain times it hasn't been

429
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 11: And then like like I've been saying, offense has been

430
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 11: capitalizing our those you know, those.

431
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:34,879
Speaker 2: Mistakes we've been making.

432
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 11: So you know, I think I think the pressures, assimilated

433
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 11: pressures specifically are good. I mean, I think you see

434
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 11: guys in the backfield, guys causing havoc at a high rate.

435
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 11: But now we just got to continue to put together

436
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 11: the rush and the and the coverage together.

437
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 7: Do you feel that the scheme and the plays that

438
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,920
Speaker 7: you're calling have been successful because plays have been there

439
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 7: to be made. Both they have been made and they've

440
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:01,159
Speaker 7: been you know, well within reach of making them, and

441
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:04,640
Speaker 7: it's just execution and building off of those.

442
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,639
Speaker 11: Yeah, I think it's that, you know, every we come

443
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 11: up with a game plan, we've been confident in the

444
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 11: game plan, feel like the game plans being good. And

445
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:14,679
Speaker 11: the players are the are the ones who give us

446
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,680
Speaker 11: confident in the game plan. So you know, if they

447
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 11: have if we come up short on some plays, yes,

448
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:22,879
Speaker 11: can I do a better job? Yes, you ask the

449
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 11: players they can do a better job. Yes, So it's

450
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:28,159
Speaker 11: we all in this together. So you know, obviously it

451
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 11: could I could not. I could be I could call

452
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,159
Speaker 11: you know, quote unquote would be a bad play, but

453
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 11: we go out there and get a sack, fumble or

454
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 11: interception now, you know said everybody else looks like a

455
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:39,399
Speaker 11: good play. So you know, the players make it happen,

456
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:43,120
Speaker 11: you know. And like I said, I think we're gonna

457
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,920
Speaker 11: be We're gonna be fine, man. Like the confidence isn't

458
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 11: wavering on our side, on their side. You know, the

459
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,439
Speaker 11: play call is the play call. Uh, we think like

460
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 11: every we think every play call is a good play call.

461
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 11: It's on the sheet, you know for a reason, you know,

462
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 11: going into the week. So we'll come down with those opportunities,

463
00:19:58,040 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 11: like we're talking about, we've got to execute that a

464
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 11: bet at a better level, and us as coach has

465
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 11: got to make sure that we do a better job

466
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:07,120
Speaker 11: of just making sure everybody understands exactly what to do,

467
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:08,919
Speaker 11: when to do it, and how to do it exactly.

468
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 5: A lot, I know, a lot goes in the game

469
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 5: day and active decisions. But David Jaba was inactive for

470
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:15,920
Speaker 5: the first time this past Sunday. What are you seeing

471
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:17,199
Speaker 5: from him and what do you want to see from

472
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 5: him moving forward to maybe become more of a factor

473
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 5: for a passion pass rush that you guys.

474
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:22,119
Speaker 2: Want to improve.

475
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean a lot of stuff goes into the

476
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 11: game day actives and stuff and just a Jobo. He's

477
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 11: been doing a good job for us. He's been physical,

478
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:30,920
Speaker 11: he's been been a hammer in there. Nothing him being

479
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 11: active had nothing to do with his with his UH,

480
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:35,679
Speaker 11: with his play. So I'm excited for him. He's been

481
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:38,199
Speaker 11: out here working and grinding, and like I said, you

482
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 11: know that you know it's a lot that goes into

483
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,640
Speaker 11: active It could be something that's not going on even

484
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 11: with your position or your side of the.

485
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 2: Ball, so you know that that is what it is.

486
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 11: And UH, but the Jobo is doing a great job

487
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 11: for us with Nomie.

488
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 6: I know he's seeing a lot of detention.

489
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:52,400
Speaker 9: A lot of double teams.

490
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 6: You know, it can be frustrated when the production isn't

491
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,399
Speaker 6: what it was previous year. How are you kind of

492
00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 6: coaching him and gutting him do that? What are you

493
00:20:58,960 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 6: seeing from Nami?

494
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I see, I see the same player.

495
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 11: I mean, obviously teams are starting to pay a little

496
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:06,120
Speaker 11: bit more attention to him, so we're trying to find

497
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 11: different ways to move him around, keep the offense off

498
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:09,880
Speaker 11: off balance, single him up.

499
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 2: But he's not discouraged.

500
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,159
Speaker 11: I told him, keep playing how you playing, keep studying

501
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,360
Speaker 11: how you're studying, and then the numbers are gonna come.

502
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 11: So you know, it's just like uh, somebody who's going

503
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 11: on a streak or whatever, like shooting like a great

504
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:25,399
Speaker 11: a great three point shooter. Okay, you know you're a

505
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:27,639
Speaker 11: great shooter, right you're shooting, You're shooting. You might not

506
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 11: be getting all those opportunities to make shots, but you know,

507
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 11: when it when it, when it all hits, you know,

508
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:34,920
Speaker 11: you go on the streak. So I think we'll see

509
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,360
Speaker 11: that from Beaks here soon. Man, he's been playing great

510
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:39,920
Speaker 11: football for us. He's gonna continue to play great football

511
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 11: for us and the numbers are gonna come soon.

512
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 1: Next is special teams coordinator Chris Forton.

513
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,639
Speaker 8: Good to see everyone as always. Man, I hope everyone

514
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 8: out here is doing well. What do you got for me.

515
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:58,919
Speaker 2: Today, Chris?

516
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 14: You know, John on Monday was talking to us about

517
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,359
Speaker 14: you know, just felt like, especially it seems like in

518
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 14: the return game with not a lot of prayer times

519
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 14: this week and maybe something, you know, judgment things. I

520
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 14: know you didn't have your top returner, but how do

521
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 14: you guys kind of take that internally and what's it

522
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 14: like trying to fix that this week.

523
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 2: It's one of those things I believe we take.

524
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 8: We take it as a challenge because every time we

525
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 8: go out there, we want it. We want to be perfect,

526
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 8: and every situation is different. Every kickoff, every kickoff team

527
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:33,199
Speaker 8: we face is going to be a little bit different.

528
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 8: Some teams will probably present a little bit more challenges

529
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 8: than we then what we've seen the week before. But

530
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 8: for us, it's an opportunity for us to go in

531
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 8: there after the game, watch the tape, get it fixed,

532
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:47,119
Speaker 8: and then come back out next week and say, if

533
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 8: we get our opportunities, let's make the most of them.

534
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 8: Other than that, you know, outside of the outside of

535
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 8: the penalties, things like that. Those are things that I

536
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 8: think from a technique standpoint, when we're out here just

537
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 8: just putting ourselves in the right spot, uh, making the blocks,

538
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 8: we could eliminate all those things. So these are these

539
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:06,879
Speaker 8: are in my eyes, these are easy fixes for us

540
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 8: to fix these things, and so we can get ourselves going.

541
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 8: But we haven't been perfect, right and so those are

542
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 8: the things that we're chasing every week.

543
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 5: John also had said, Chris cally are kind of lost

544
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 5: sight of where he was.

545
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:20,680
Speaker 14: Maybe he ended up bringing two puns out or kickoffs

546
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 14: out of the end zone, which is not the preference.

547
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 5: How do you teach that.

548
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 2: Field awareness.

549
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,399
Speaker 8: One of one of the ways for Chris Well, let

550
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:31,879
Speaker 8: me let me just say this. I think the kids,

551
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 8: I think the kid's done done a great job for

552
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 8: us situations where you get when he finds himselves in

553
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 8: situations where you know he's strattling, he's straddling the goal line,

554
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 8: whether he brings it in or he brings it out, Well,

555
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:45,719
Speaker 8: if the ball's clearly in, we can help him. We

556
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 8: have ways in which we can help him with our

557
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:49,879
Speaker 8: off returner. It's just like putting his hands out. Hey,

558
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 8: let's let's keep this one in. If he doesn't know,

559
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 8: you know, and and he's straddling that that line, then

560
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:58,359
Speaker 8: he's got to make a decision of whether, you know,

561
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 8: he takes a knee, where is his body posis?

562
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:01,720
Speaker 2: Should he run? Should he not run?

563
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:03,440
Speaker 8: If it's clearly an end zone, we want to keep

564
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 8: those in the end zone. But sometimes being a young guy,

565
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,439
Speaker 8: you know, you find yourself a situation. So what do

566
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 8: we do. We come out here, we drill it, we

567
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:12,359
Speaker 8: work it. We put him in those situations so we

568
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:13,639
Speaker 8: can help him moving forward.

569
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 14: John talk about the possibility of Deontay Johnson.

570
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 12: Factoring into the return game.

571
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 10: I guess maybe there's been some reps.

572
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 14: Is it possible for this Sunday or future Sundays.

573
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:27,879
Speaker 8: I don't really know, you know, how that situation is

574
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 8: gonna work out. But what I do know is we

575
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 8: got Deontay back there. We're gonna get him, We're gonna

576
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 8: get him worked in. We're gonna see how he catches

577
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 8: the ball. It's been a while for him, right, he

578
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 8: hadn't caught a ball since twenty twenty, I believe. So

579
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 8: we get him out there, we get him worked in

580
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 8: and then however it shakes out, it's kind of how

581
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:43,360
Speaker 8: it's going to shake out.

582
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 2: But as of right now, you know, we're gon we're

583
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:46,479
Speaker 2: gonna roll with Thailand.

584
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:48,360
Speaker 8: I'll put him back there, and then as we as

585
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:51,200
Speaker 8: we continue to move forward, and because Deontay does offer

586
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:52,919
Speaker 8: something a little bit different. He has a lot of

587
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:54,719
Speaker 8: his skill with the ball in his hands. I mean,

588
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 8: it's tremendous. We all know what he can do. So

589
00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 8: for us, it's just let's get him caught up to

590
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 8: speed because it is a little bit different if you

591
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,120
Speaker 8: haven't done it in a long time.

592
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:06,200
Speaker 10: Chris is his key guy that you might look at

593
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:07,959
Speaker 10: at some point in that one too.

594
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, Keaton's special, right, Uh, He's a he's

595
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:13,359
Speaker 8: a special player. We all we all seen what he

596
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:16,679
Speaker 8: did last year whenever he got the ball in his hands.

597
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 8: For us, it's it's whatever player we have available that

598
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 8: we feel is best for us and we can put

599
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 8: back there. We're gonna give him an opportunity and we're

600
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 8: gonna let him roll.

601
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 3: Chris, was there anything off with Justin physically on the

602
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:29,159
Speaker 3: kick that he missed? I mean I looked like he

603
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:31,120
Speaker 3: had he slipped a little bit on the previous one

604
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:32,640
Speaker 3: and then he obviously didn't hit that ball the way

605
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:33,159
Speaker 3: that he wanted to.

606
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:35,400
Speaker 2: Well, I really, I.

607
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 8: Really don't know that much. I don't think anything was

608
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 8: off with him. I mean, I think that's more. That's

609
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 8: more if he felt something that was off or or whatnot.

610
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 8: But you know, for us, man, we just like again

611
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 8: with Justin, it's it's it's his mindset him going out

612
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 8: there and all he wants to do is, man, he

613
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:52,440
Speaker 8: wants to make kicks. So when it doesn't go right,

614
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 8: I know, he does a deep dive analyzing the things

615
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 8: that maybe he could have done, he could have done differently,

616
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:00,119
Speaker 8: and we just kind of leave that to We just

617
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 8: leave that up to him, and we talked to him

618
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 8: and we get it coached up and we were ready

619
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:04,480
Speaker 8: for our next opportunity.

620
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:05,360
Speaker 2: Chris, do you.

621
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 7: Feel that your unit has had a complete performance in

622
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:11,120
Speaker 7: any of the you know, we're at the midway point

623
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:12,440
Speaker 7: of the season. Do you feel that they've had a

624
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 7: complete performance in any of these games?

625
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 2: Not at all? Not at all.

626
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 8: I mean, I mean when you talk about our standard, Uh,

627
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:21,400
Speaker 8: there's no way. If if anyone's out there watching that tape,

628
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 8: you can't say we've we've played our a complete game

629
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:25,200
Speaker 8: all six phases.

630
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:26,919
Speaker 2: Now, We've done a lot of good things.

631
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 8: Last last week we covered more kicks than we've covered

632
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:32,280
Speaker 8: in a game, and I thought our kickoff team played

633
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:33,920
Speaker 8: pretty darn good, right.

634
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:35,959
Speaker 2: So I think as we continue to go on and

635
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:36,919
Speaker 2: we continue.

636
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 8: To develop our young guys, we're gonna get to do

637
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 8: a lot more. And I and we believe that as

638
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:43,240
Speaker 8: long as we come out here and we work hard

639
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 8: and we continue to get better, we'll start to see

640
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:48,920
Speaker 8: what we do in practice come to life on game day,

641
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 8: because that's really where it counts, and that's the most important.

642
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 7: It's frustration the fact that you know new issues are

643
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 7: cropping up. Issues that you've had, you know at the

644
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 7: beginning of the season are so kind of cropping out.

645
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:03,639
Speaker 7: I know it's different in the game, but it seems

646
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:06,919
Speaker 7: that things seem to be recurring that are not to

647
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:08,680
Speaker 7: the standard for you in the state.

648
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:14,200
Speaker 8: There's never any frustration with me because these players man there,

649
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:17,159
Speaker 8: they're high profile players. When they go out there, I

650
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:18,960
Speaker 8: know for a fact that they want to do things

651
00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:21,400
Speaker 8: right and they're trying to do things right, and sometimes

652
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:24,199
Speaker 8: things don't go to plan. There's a defense on the

653
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:27,160
Speaker 8: other side. And I'm mainly talking about from this game

654
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 8: because it seems like that's where.

655
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:29,160
Speaker 2: This is going.

656
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 8: I'm talking about the about the penalties because we did

657
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:33,639
Speaker 8: we did hit a big return there, right, We got

658
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:35,639
Speaker 8: the ball out past the forty and then we had

659
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:37,720
Speaker 8: a penalty that brought us back, and that really came

660
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 8: to a technique issue. Those are things we can get

661
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:44,119
Speaker 8: rid of. Those are things that we know we can

662
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 8: get rid of. So we just got to take care

663
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 8: of that. But as far as being frustrated, not at all.

664
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 8: I mean, I mean, we're chasing greatness. We're trying to

665
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:52,920
Speaker 8: chase greatness, and that's not easy, right, but we got

666
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 8: to continue to just come out here every day, line

667
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 8: up and let's get better. Let's get better so we

668
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:00,920
Speaker 8: can put our put the standard on tape on Sundays.

669
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 1: Next up is tight end Mark Andrews.

670
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:13,199
Speaker 13: Tough as it preparing for, you know, a team like

671
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 13: this when you're not having your starting quarterback out there

672
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 13: too to get ready.

673
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 12: You know, I think for us right now, it's uh,

674
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 12: you know, we've had a great week of practice. You know,

675
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 12: guys are flying around running incredible routes. You know, a

676
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:26,919
Speaker 12: Lineman doing anything. So it's it's everything that we do

677
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 12: and and we're fortunate to have a guy like josh

678
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 12: and to be in there in practicing. But uh, we're

679
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:33,160
Speaker 12: confident in everybody.

680
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 2: That we have.

681
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:35,199
Speaker 13: How much of the offense can you still run or

682
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 13: how much of the offense can you go on? If

683
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 13: it was josh versus Lamar, we got everything.

684
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 12: We got everything. And that's the beautiful thing is as

685
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 12: we're out here working and getting better and there's no falloff.

686
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 12: But uh, we're blessed by two incredible quarterbacks. Obviously Lamar

687
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 12: is one on one, but you know Joshua was doing

688
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 12: this thing out there too.

689
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 1: And Mark, you've been here a long time. What is

690
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 1: the key in bouncing back, you know from the tough

691
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 1: game and getting back on track.

692
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:01,239
Speaker 12: I think that we've done good job this year of

693
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 12: you know, kind of looking at ourselves in the mirror

694
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 12: and and figuring out, you know, we need to execute better,

695
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 12: we need to do some things better and just dial

696
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 12: it down, and you know, I think that we will.

697
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 12: And this is a good opportunity this week and it's

698
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 12: a really good team and I know the guys are

699
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 12: excited about that. So so just fly around and have fun.

700
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 4: Should we have more National tight End Days?

701
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 12: That seemed to work out pretty well for Yeah, a

702
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 12: lot of tight ends making some big time plays, you know.

703
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 12: But again I'm just for the most part, I'm just

704
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:30,520
Speaker 12: proud of our guys. You know, our guys in the

705
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 12: tight end room and have been fighting all year long

706
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 12: and it's been a really fun group.

707
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 13: What kind of point you think of that position for

708
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 13: a long time was not getting a lot of love

709
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 13: that even have that uh kind of you know from

710
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 13: your tight end you that you guys have had the

711
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 13: growth of the position and the getting attention.

712
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 12: For word, well, it's been huge, and I think that

713
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 12: that the love is deserved. You know, there's been so

714
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 12: many great tight ends throughout the throughout the years that

715
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 12: paid the way, you know, for us to be where

716
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 12: we are right now. And it's such a virstatile and

717
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 12: integral part of an offense that you got a great

718
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 12: tight end or great tight ends, it makes a big difference.

719
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 12: So it's been awesome.

720
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 1: Next up is running back Derrick Henry.

721
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 4: Getting ready for this week.

722
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 13: What's the challenge in not having Lamar out there for practice?

723
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:19,479
Speaker 13: Obviously we don't know what it's at it for Sunday.

724
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 2: But is it?

725
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:21,680
Speaker 13: How hard is to get ready for a team without

726
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 13: your starting quarterback during the practice.

727
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 2: I mean, you gotta still gotta go to work.

728
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 15: I'm gonna pair the same, nothing change, you know, wait

729
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 15: till you gets out there. I'm always practice hard to

730
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 15: try to do my job.

731
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 1: Then, how would you describe approach this week as you

732
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 1: get ready for another AFC Matchow.

733
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 2: My approachious week?

734
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,640
Speaker 12: The team's approach, I mean approach is the same.

735
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 15: Go out there and try to win a game, work

736
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 15: hard throughout the week, make each other better, and go

737
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 15: execute on Sunday. I don't think nothing's changed as far

738
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:47,959
Speaker 15: as our approach. Better win the game, got it, come

739
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 15: to work and do our job, and while there, execute

740
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 15: on Sunday to get in the W column.

741
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 9: How how do you think the addition of Deontate john

742
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 9: say deont Johnson helps you. Guys's office that's already kind

743
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 9: of been clicked into this bold.

00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 2: I mean we don't know yet.

745
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 15: He hasn't been out there, but I'm excited to, you know,

746
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 15: have him a part of the sphy. He's a great player.

747
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 15: Run roulse great UH played against him. He was in

748
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 15: Pittsburgh and I always thought he was a great player,

749
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 15: so be a great addition. You know, you gotta put

750
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 15: it together on the field. So we'll see once it

751
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 15: gets in there, and each.

752
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 13: Opportunity you see Denver's front seven and prepping for them,

753
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 13: you know, Sean Payton's d's have always been that's he's

754
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 13: known for.

755
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 15: Yeah, yeah, I mean not not match space on film.

756
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 15: They try to uh clog it up and well wall

757
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 15: it off, and I think they do a great job,

758
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:33,520
Speaker 15: have uh great uh penetrating front and you know, great

759
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 15: depth as well, so when they're they're great groups. So

760
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:36,959
Speaker 15: it's gonna be tough Sunday.

761
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 8: How important are.

762
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:39,360
Speaker 7: Those early downs?

763
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:41,480
Speaker 1: You know, so you can get in third and manageable situations,

764
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:43,360
Speaker 1: But how how important is it to have success in

765
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 1: those early downs?

766
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 15: I mean, you know that creates momentum and within the offense,

767
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 15: uh to get us into a drive and get that

768
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:54,280
Speaker 15: first first down and hope with lead to more supposed

769
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 15: to plays and then get into the red zone and

770
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 15: get points. But yeah, you wanna you know, make uh

771
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 15: big place on early down so you're not in thirty

772
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:05,000
