1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,599
Speaker 1: And Dan, what what stands out to you when you

2
00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:07,840
Speaker 1: look at the Jets on film right now? Uh, I'd

3
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:12,200
Speaker 1: see a team that's physical. Um, you know they defense,

4
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 1: They're they're strong up front, they got guys in the

5
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:20,319
Speaker 1: secondary they can cover. I think offensively, Um, they still

6
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 1: have the ability to run it. You can't ever lose

7
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:24,119
Speaker 1: sight of that. And I know they're going going a

8
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 1: little more spread out formations at times, but they still

9
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 1: have Marshall and Decker and and I've been around here.

10
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 1: You know, this is my sixth year and Fitzpatrick has

11
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 1: always been a thorn to us. I mean he's always

12
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:43,199
Speaker 1: played good against us and been a problem to deal with.

13
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 1: So you know, we know we got our hands full.

14
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:47,599
Speaker 1: I would say the first thing that stands out is

15
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 1: it's a physical team. How different do they look through

16
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: the team you saw in London? Um, I would say

17
00:00:57,720 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: they as far as being physical, they looked at say,

18
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 1: to me, just offensively, it looks like they've they've done

19
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 1: a little bit more spread out type stuff. That would

20
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,320
Speaker 1: be the biggest difference, to be honest with you. And

21
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 1: you know, I need to make sure that I get

22
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 1: this across Todd Bowls. Um, I have a ton of

23
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 1: respect for and you know, I was here when he

24
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 1: was interim head coach and I know what he's about

25
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 1: and he's as good as they come. And then Casey

26
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: Rodgers was with a long time, and I think those

27
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: guys as coaches are as good as they come. And

28
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: I know, you know, we got our hands full of

29
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: this mentality and the way those guys play and the

30
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: system and everything. On the flip side of that, how

31
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 1: do you feel you your team is different from that

32
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 1: London game. I feel like we're more physical, you know.

33
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: I feel like we're a team that kind of identified

34
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: that we need to come off the all a little

35
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: bit better. We need to we need to have a

36
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 1: presence about us. Um. You know, we need to change

37
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: I think the way that we're viewed. And to me,

38
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: we are more aggressive than we were the first time

39
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 1: they played us, and for the most part we've been

40
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 1: able to stay in games. I mean, that game got

41
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: out of control on us and we end up being

42
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: one dimensional. Last time we played him, which was Kudo's them,

43
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: they put us in that situation. How how's Ryan Tannehill

44
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: playing right now? Dan, He's playing well. I mean, you know,

45
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 1: he had he had a couple of bumps in the

46
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:25,359
Speaker 1: road or the last you know, four or five weeks.

47
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 1: But all in all, if you look at his production

48
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: since um, since I took over, since this everything's happened,

49
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 1: he's played pretty good football for us. You know, certainly

50
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: he's like anybody else, he's not perfect by any means,

51
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 1: but but he's playing good enough for us to win overall.

52
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 1: With you demanding you guys be more physical and everything,

53
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: do you sometimes think maybe you lean too much on

54
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 1: the passing game and you want to get back to

55
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: just pounding the ball a little more? Uh, you know,

56
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: always those things always cross my mind. Is you know

57
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 1: we're running it enough? Are we not the way that

58
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: we're running it? You know, should we lean a little

59
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: bit more on this schematically in the run game or not?

60
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, every game creates its own unique, um,

61
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,959
Speaker 1: you know, challenges and and certainly I love to run

62
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: the ball, but we'll do whatever we feel like we

63
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,920
Speaker 1: have to do to uh, to put some points on

64
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 1: the board. And that may not always be running, you

65
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 1: never know, but yeah, I'm I would love to establish

66
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: the run. That's who I am. Dan. What what appealed

67
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: to you guys about Quentin Copals uh well, his his

68
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: his talent um, his links um, the fact that we

69
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: feel like for for us, it's a scheme fit and

70
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: we're a little lighted defensive end as it was, and

71
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: it was a bit of a no brainer. And then

72
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: you know, Mike cannonbamb had a history with him, he

73
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: knows who he is. Character wise, we know he's got

74
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: a really good character and h we just feel like

75
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: we're about to get the best of Quinn Copele's yet

76
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 1: we're about to get you know, the best is ahead

77
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: of him, and so we're excited to have him. Do

78
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 1: you think he can have a role this week? Sure?

79
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 1: I don't see why not. I mean, that's that's one

80
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 1: of the reasons we've got him to use him for

81
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 1: the last six So you know, if we can get

82
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: him up to speed, we plan on using him. And

83
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,479
Speaker 1: just clarify because here he was an outside linebacker for

84
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: a lot. You guys are gonna use him on the line,

85
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: right mostly he planned a D line for us. Primarily.

86
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: We could use him in some other roles, but that's

87
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:41,479
Speaker 1: primarily what we're gonna do. What about Jarvis Landry, how

88
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,840
Speaker 1: big has and helpful to Tannehill has he and just

89
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 1: his general playmaking ability. Yeah, Jarvis has been, um, you know,

90
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 1: pivotal to us having success. I mean, he's he's a

91
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 1: heck of a football player. He plays with a lot

92
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 1: of energy. He's a guy that always finds a way

93
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 1: to get open, and he's dangerous with the ball in

94
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,600
Speaker 1: his hands. So he's been He's been one of Ryan's

95
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 1: most reliable receivers. And for that reason, because he can't

96
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 1: get open, he can separate, you know, at the top

97
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: and and then like I said, when he when he's

98
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 1: able to get the ball in his hands with a

99
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: little bit of space or room, he could be dangerous

100
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: for us. He's been. He's been very productive this year. Day.

101
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,840
Speaker 1: You mentioned Mike Tanneman before. Obviously a lot of us

102
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: know him. Um, what what's it been like working with

103
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 1: him in this role as in from head coach? Mike

104
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: has been great. Mike has helped me more than I

105
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 1: can really even say. I mean, he's he's taken a

106
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:44,160
Speaker 1: huge burden off me, um from from the time this

107
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 1: this went over. I mean he told me his sole

108
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 1: focus has been to support me and to make sure

109
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: that that I am able to stay with the football

110
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 1: side of things, and the staff and the players and

111
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,919
Speaker 1: and and it's been in that way, and I felt

112
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 1: that way. Uh. And so he's been great, he really has.

113
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: I mean that I don't I'm not sure I'd be

114
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 1: able to do it without him under the circumstances. Can

115
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 1: you talk about your running backs a little bit, Lamar Miller?

116
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 1: And also now you have j j I Ah, the

117
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 1: rookie coming along now, how he's looked since he came

118
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: back from the injury. Yeah, I would say we I

119
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 1: would actually go with three because I feel like we

120
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: have three quality backs are all a little bit different.

121
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,359
Speaker 1: If you throws Damian WIBs in there as well, But

122
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 1: I would say, you know, Lamar Miller has been really

123
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 1: good for us in space. He's been good in the

124
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 1: run game for us because if he can hit that crease,

125
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:44,479
Speaker 1: he's got really good speed. Um, you know he Uh,

126
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 1: he's kind of an electric type guy. I mean, he's

127
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: the type of player that can take any ball in

128
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: the distance. And because of his skill set, Jay were

129
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 1: really pleased with j as well. I mean, after he

130
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 1: came back from the injury, we're able to practice him

131
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 1: for a little bit and then get him involves. Starting

132
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 1: with Buffalo, we were hoping he would be a little

133
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 1: bit more of a downhill back, and he proved us

134
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 1: to be right, which is really encouraging, you know. And

135
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 1: and so we feel like we've got two backs that

136
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: that are a little bit you know, unique, a little

137
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: bit different, but complement each other. Well. You know, you've

138
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: got somebody it's a little bit better in space and

139
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 1: get the whole take of the distance. And we feel

140
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 1: like we have that back who put his foot in

141
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 1: the ground and go down the hill. So we're we're

142
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 1: happy with both of them. And there again we have

143
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 1: our third back, Damian Williams, who could do things in

144
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 1: space and he's a really good special teams player for US. Dan,

145
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: did you draw anything from watching Todd uh do do

146
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 1: the interim coach uh for three games in two thousand

147
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 1: and eleven when you got this this role, did you

148
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: draw anything from that experience? Yeah? I did. I mean,

149
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 1: I think one of the there was a couple of

150
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 1: things that I remember most about bowls Uh. You know.

151
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: The first one was that he's gonna treat you like

152
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 1: a man, and it was about you handle your business, um,

153
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 1: and when you don't handle your business then you'll have

154
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 1: the repercussions of it. But he he was he was

155
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 1: about it being it's a man's league and it's time

156
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 1: to man up. That was that was his messages. And

157
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 1: the other thing is, Hey, whatever world we live in,

158
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 1: offensively or defensively, that's that's who we are. We're not

159
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 1: going to change who we are because we believe in

160
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:20,800

Speaker 1: what we're doing, and we're gonna stick with it. And

166
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: you know, it's been a proven commodity for him, you know,

167
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:38,360
