1 00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:02,640 Speaker 1: Mike, you look at that last drive Deacson had just 2 00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:05,200 Speaker 1: obviously after the interception. How pleased were you with the 3 00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:08,920 Speaker 1: poise show to focus and lead that drive for touchdown. Yeah, 4 00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:11,000 Speaker 1: it's a great It was really a great execution all 5 00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:12,760 Speaker 1: the way around across the board. You know, we were 6 00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:15,640 Speaker 1: taking some shots downfield. Guys were tired, they had to 7 00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:18,919 Speaker 1: dig deep, and you know, obviously if several guys made 8 00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:21,880 Speaker 1: playsing that on that drive, whether it was downfield getting 9 00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:24,800 Speaker 1: there or getting the flag. But yeah, it was really 10 00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:26,720 Speaker 1: cool to see, you know, those guys go down there 11 00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:27,280 Speaker 1: and get. 12 00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:29,760 Speaker 2: It, like we've come to expect that. 13 00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:32,760 Speaker 3: Andrew Thomas, it's a brick wall. How good is a 14 00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,280 Speaker 3: lumin or playing on the other side, and what has 15 00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:36,920 Speaker 3: that combination given you? 16 00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:39,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, Jermaine and at are playing really good ball right now. 17 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:42,120 Speaker 1: I'd say across the board, all five guys are playing 18 00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:44,479 Speaker 1: really good ball, and it was good to see slowly 19 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:48,120 Speaker 1: jump in there when when jam mess went down. You know, 20 00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:50,880 Speaker 1: all five guys are playing to do a great GVR running, 21 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 1: they're battling, they're playing some good fronts up front, and 22 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:56,560 Speaker 1: so you know we're gonna need the same effort this week. 23 00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:00,040 Speaker 1: We would say about Jackson that he can go in 24 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 1: there and play at a pretty high level in that 25 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,679 Speaker 1: kind of environment as a rookie. Yeah, you know, I 26 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:06,040 Speaker 1: got a lot. I got a lot of confidence in 27 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,920 Speaker 1: Jackson and and the whole group, right, And so for 28 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,760 Speaker 1: Jackson to step up in that environment, you know, against 29 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 1: that crew and everyone else around them, to to kind 30 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:15,840 Speaker 1: of raise their game and go and step up and 31 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:19,640 Speaker 1: make plays as well is impressive. And you know that's 32 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:21,039 Speaker 1: something that I told him I was really proud of 33 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,480 Speaker 1: for those guys to go in there and compete and 34 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:24,840 Speaker 1: battle all the way to the end. 35 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,320 Speaker 2: Just two quick ones if I can. JMS is cleared 36 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 2: to see back in the starting lineup. 37 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 4: Well, I'm not. 38 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 1: I don't know what Dave's caught on the injury stuff 39 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:35,039 Speaker 1: all that Daves to talk about it. 40 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,160 Speaker 2: And then a lot of the a lot of people 41 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 2: outside of it asking asking, you know, why didn't they 42 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 2: burn more clock before they scored with thirty seven seconds left? 43 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 2: Is that even an option in your MinC and you 44 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 2: can is there a way to forego a touchdown? 45 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:52,880 Speaker 1: I think I think it's hard to tell, you know, 46 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 1: a NFL football player to not score at the one 47 00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 1: you know, we're we're looking, we're looking to score points. 48 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:00,280 Speaker 1: It's a really good defense. I think they were number 49 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 1: one in the league in red zone, so you know, 50 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 1: we had an opportunity to go score, so we call our. 51 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 5: Best player, Mike. It seems like Jackson really recognize what 52 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 5: the defense wants to do. A guess at the line 53 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 5: scratch which is seems to be way out of his 54 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 5: Probably he's just a looking. Four games in, it look 55 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 5: like you came up to the line and at Belogie touchdown, 56 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:19,520 Speaker 5: check to it on the play. Even a Tracy touchdown, 57 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 5: look like he checked an know to play man talk 58 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 5: about his problems. Four games in, he seems to really 59 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:25,360 Speaker 5: recognize what defenses want to do. 60 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 1: This, Yeah, Jackson. Jackson does a great job and starts 61 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 1: with this preparation and just identifying the keys that you 62 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 1: know that we go through man coverage IDs, zone coverage IDs, 63 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 1: and then on top of that, it's you know, putting 64 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 1: together a good platform so that he can go execute. 65 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:40,359 Speaker 1: But he's got to see it, he's got to feel it, 66 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 1: and then all the guys around him got to go 67 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,679 Speaker 1: do their jobs as well. So it's never about one guy, 68 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 1: you know, I always see it as a eleve man operation. 69 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 1: I think Jackson is carrying the mental load in terms 70 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,520 Speaker 1: of understanding what we're trying to get done and take 71 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,680 Speaker 1: advantage of the certain looks, and he's going out there 72 00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 1: and execute. 73 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 4: Like when you look at the DPI, you were able 74 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,360 Speaker 4: to get down on the throat to bow. You know, 75 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 4: from the outside it's hey, you got lucky in the 76 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 4: sense you get fled. But when you break down that play, 77 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 4: what did those guys do well on that to make 78 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 4: to give them an opportunity to get the flag? 79 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 1: Well, it started up front. The protection you know, gave 80 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,360 Speaker 1: gave Jackson time to evaluate downfield. Jackson stepped up and 81 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 1: kind of scrambled down to his right, and uh, I 82 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,360 Speaker 1: think it was bow outside he was playing Z and 83 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 1: he saw the scrambled drail. He peeled it back and 84 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 1: had had a had a had a head start on 85 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 1: the dB. Jackson saw him downfield and put it up 86 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 1: and was able. 87 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 4: To get to that in that situation. 88 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 1: If bo doesn't you know it was starting, it was 89 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 1: starting long, so you know you're trying to get you know, 90 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 1: you got two downs left, so you're trying to get 91 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 1: some of that back. So you're calling a play to 92 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 1: kind of get him, you know, a chunk, put yourself 93 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 1: maybe in a fourth and favorable, and then give yourself 94 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 1: another chance downfield. So you know, we got we got 95 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 1: bailed out by the call, and you know sometimes that happens. 96 00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 5: I guess that's my. 97 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 4: Point, Like we we say bailout, but if you guys 98 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 4: didn't execute the play, you wouldn't even gotten an opportunity 99 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 4: to get that flag. So sure like in that situation, 100 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 4: if Bow had just kind of kept running and not 101 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 4: done his job, don't get that flag. It probably gets 102 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 4: picked in that situation. 103 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 1: And well that's the that's the beauty of our guys 104 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 1: right now, is you know we have young guys, whether 105 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 1: it's rookies like bo in there, older veteran guys up front, 106 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 1: you know, Wandelle like, we have guys of all ages 107 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,279 Speaker 1: across the board that are stepping up. And it's things 108 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 1: that we practice in the spring, the scramble drill, and 109 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 1: we know you never know when it's going to happen, 110 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 1: and when you have athletic quarterbacks that could happen at any play, 111 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 1: first second, third down, fourth down, two minutes, like, those 112 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,360 Speaker 1: things are going to show up. So the coaches has 113 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 1: done a great job of emphasizing it, and then the 114 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:41,720 Speaker 1: players got to go execute it. And we talked about 115 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,600 Speaker 1: the certain details of the scramble drill. You know, where 116 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 1: you got to be, the spots that so called hot 117 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,360 Speaker 1: spots in the scramble drill that show up for you downfield. 118 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,839 Speaker 1: How how to work it when you're on a different 119 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 1: level than the quarterback, or when the quarterback rolls left, 120 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 1: when he rolls right, how do you fit in the 121 00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 1: scramble drill? Where are you and who are you? And so, 122 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 1: you know, we detail those things up and the guys 123 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 1: do a great job when when Jackson has gone up 124 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:05,600 Speaker 1: and scrambled and if it's nothing there, he's done a 125 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 1: good job of using his legs. So it's just that's 126 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 1: the dynamic part of having a quarterback that can use 127 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 1: that can use that part of the field. 128 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 3: On the interception, how did you weigh in that moment 129 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 3: whether to run the ball, make them use their time 130 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 3: out and still try to get the first versus throwing 131 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 3: the ball. 132 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you know, those decisions always come down 133 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 1: to just your confidence level in the quarterback and then 134 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 1: the players and you know, I have a tremendous amount 135 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,280 Speaker 1: of confidence in Jackson and the ability to put the 136 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 1: ball in his hands in certain situations, whether it's third down, 137 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 1: whether it's fourth down. You know, you saw that in 138 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,040 Speaker 1: the Chargers game, third down in the Chargers game to 139 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,919 Speaker 1: THEO big play. You saw it at the end of 140 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 1: the game against Denver fourth you know, first and goal 141 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,240 Speaker 1: at the one putting the ball in his hands. And 142 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 1: you know, as coaching staff, we got to do a 143 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,919 Speaker 1: great job of studying understanding in those situations, what do 144 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 1: we want to get to. Are they going to be 145 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 1: a max pressure team? Are they a max they drop 146 00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 1: everybody or they max pressure? So you know, you weigh 147 00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:03,480 Speaker 1: the options of all right, mac protection, getting two guys 148 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 1: on the routes that are runaways, that are that are 149 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 1: going to be open, and work your two best players 150 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,839 Speaker 1: with max projection. With the ball in Jackson's hand, that 151 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 1: was something I felt really confident about just because of 152 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 1: the amount of production and things that he's done over 153 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 1: the course of his time here, and really after evaluating 154 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 1: watching every single Paciti's that he has has been as 155 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,599 Speaker 1: a New York Giant, I have got a confidence and 156 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:26,360 Speaker 1: putting the ball in his hands there and putting the 157 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 1: ball in our offensive line's hands and having the ability 158 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,479 Speaker 1: for our skille guys to go. So sure, you know, 159 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,599 Speaker 1: hindsight you can look at it and evaluate it. But 160 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 1: when we talked about as a staff early in the week, 161 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 1: you know, you look at the Gutta Habits and the 162 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 1: plays that we like, you know, that was the one 163 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 1: that was high on our list. We talked about it 164 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 1: really two drives before that even came up, and you know, 165 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:47,719 Speaker 1: in the form and in the four minute and Gotta Habits, 166 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 1: you know, we talk about it on Saturday night. It's 167 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 1: the same thing. We go through the checklists and walk 168 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,120 Speaker 1: through those plays and talk about them. So you know, 169 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,719 Speaker 1: when you get in that situation, it's an easy, fast call. 170 00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 1: The guys can get up and go and then go 171 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 1: go up rate. 172 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 3: It ended well, but when you go back and review it, 173 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 3: is there any part like he put the ball risk 174 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,040 Speaker 3: a few times there to say like, hey, just calm down, 175 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 3: even though it's a two Madrid, Like we don't need 176 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 3: to go for a home run when it's first and ten. 177 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 1: Like after the penalty, which which play which play reverers. 178 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 3: You guys collided probably intercepted at the goal line to 179 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 3: the post after you got the first down, the rough 180 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 3: in the past. 181 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean again, there's that's it's always a 182 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 1: fine line of like when you're when you're coaching the quarterbacks, 183 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 1: of the aggressiveness and over aggressiveness, you know, and you know, 184 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 1: we always talk about it, you know, being being aggressive 185 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 1: not reckless. And so I again, those plays downfield, I 186 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 1: think the quarterbacks he makes that decision. I support it, 187 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 1: and he's going outfield to be aggressive. He has a 188 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 1: reason for it. And that's again going back to the 189 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 1: trust level with your quarterback and with your group. 190 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 2: You said you had you had the trust in Jackson 191 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 2: to do that third day the interception play. Of course 192 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 2: he threw the interception. Does any of that confidence Wayne, Now? 193 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 1: It doesn't. It really doesn't. Just be just for the 194 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 1: simple fact that you know, I know he's gonna come 195 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 1: back and do it again, you know, and go back 196 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 1: and make that play. You know he's done it. He's 197 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 1: proven that he can do it, and uh, you know 198 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 1: I wouldn't. I don't really second guess the call. I 199 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 1: don't have any regrets over it besides the fact that 200 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 1: it got picked. You know, It's it's one of those 201 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 1: things that happens in football, but you saw that from him, 202 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 1: though he didn't he'd never really flinched, like of course 203 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,679 Speaker 1: he's upset. But but when we get back another drive 204 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 1: and we're able to get back on the horse and 205 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 1: then him go make plays that he did to put 206 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 1: to give ourselves a chance, I mean that gives us, 207 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 1: you know, more confidence. And then and again in the game. 208 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 1: It's not like we wavered as a as a unit. 209 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:32,960 Speaker 1: It's not like we wavered as a team. We went 210 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 1: right back to him on the first and goal at 211 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 1: the one. So I think that's that's kind of where 212 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 1: I'm at with Jackson. 213 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:45,560 Speaker 5: What's your tight ends shown you since the last couple 214 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 5: of weeks, I mean specifically Bellinger who had not really 215 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 5: been part of the receiving game and quite some time. 216 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:52,320 Speaker 1: What have they shown you since you went to this 217 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 1: more emphasis on two tight ends? Well, Belly, you know, 218 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 1: you know, since Belly been here as a rookie, he's 219 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 1: done nothing but just been distant and his approach consistent 220 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,959 Speaker 1: with his play. So you know, each week would be 221 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 1: a little bit different in how we want to attack 222 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 1: a defense. But you know, over the last the course 223 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:10,199 Speaker 1: of the last couple of weeks, you know, Bellinger was 224 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 1: part of that plan, and no surprise to me, he 225 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 1: came up big and making plays and and doing the 226 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 1: right things in both the run in the pass game. 227 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,319 Speaker 1: Guy that we're going to lean on is one of 228 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 1: the leaders of the group, and uh, you know a 229 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 1: guy that I have full confidence in.
