But I'm just gonna say 179 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 4: a bear trap to fight men, I won how about that. 180 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 2: Is it noticeable? 181 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 10: Did you like increase like if you're if you're running fast, 182 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 10: just like did you pick up on that? 183 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 2: No, not really. 184 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 4: I just got a outround my opponent and I'm just 185 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 4: cruising after that. I'm not really trying to do a 186 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 4: hundred meter dash. I just beat whoever chased me. 187 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 2: That's all. 188 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 10: Josh Johnson completed every past he threw last weekend. 189 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 2: That's expected from Josh. O G. That's definitely great. 190 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 4: Actually, the first time Josh was here with us a 191 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 4: couple of years back, I was so hyped to have him, 192 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 4: you know, just from just learning and knowing the uh 193 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 4: type of offenses he's been in, and just hearing him 194 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 4: speak and how he learned ball and how he know ball. 195 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 4: It's incredible for me to uh be in a room 196 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 4: with a god like him. 197 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,560 Speaker 1: In addition to Lamar, we also heard from head coach John. 198 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 9: Hartball, Okay, appreciate you guys coming out. Good work day 199 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 9: for us, And we're getting pointed toward two things. We're 200 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 9: pointing towards Green Bay, but we're also pointed toward the 201 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 9: opener in Kansas City. What questions you have. 202 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 3: How do you try to get I mean practice, practice. 203 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 9: Get ready for season. Well, you know we want to 204 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 9: start the season off well, I mean we want to 205 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:45,320 Speaker 9: we want to put our best foot forward right out 206 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:46,679 Speaker 9: of the right out of the gates as much as 207 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 9: we can. There's it's hard to do. There's no guarantee 208 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 9: you're going to do that, and there's a lot of 209 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 9: question marks to that. Every year we have done well 210 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 9: over the years doing that because I think we practice well. 211 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:57,840 Speaker 9: It comes down to practice. I mean, practice is what 212 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 9: makes it. Preseason games don't make break you that way. 213 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 9: It's the practices that make you because that's what you stack. 214 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,320 Speaker 9: There's advantages to practicing. You see teams do it like 215 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 9: the Chiefs, for instance, They've always done it all the 216 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 9: way back, all the way back to Andy in ninety nine. 217 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 9: They've always done it. And then you know, we'd done 218 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 9: it for a while and we haven't done it the 219 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,680 Speaker 9: last few years. So you can do it either way. 220 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 9: And that's the way we're doing it this year. Going 221 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 9: back to Saturday night right and lant it in that 222 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 9: first half ran as many boots as I've ever seen. 223 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:29,440 Speaker 8: Can you give us a little bit of insight into 224 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:30,160 Speaker 8: the relationship. 225 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 9: Can you and Zach and what you're talking about in 226 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 9: terms of trying to get that stopped as you see 227 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 9: it play after play that yeah, I mean, the boots 228 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 9: really want a problem. It was his own play actions 229 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 9: with the deep over routes that gave us the trouble 230 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 9: off the play action mostly I think mostly in the 231 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 9: second half really, but those deep over routes, those what 232 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,680 Speaker 9: we call burner routes with a pope with a top 233 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 9: off or clear out run on top of it. That's 234 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 9: just execution in terms of getting our linebackers popped out 235 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 9: underneath there or nickel. We were in zone on a 236 00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:58,679 Speaker 9: few of those and that stuff on zone plus get 237 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,720 Speaker 9: into the quarterback. But it's it's just more about right now, 238 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 9: it's less about scheme and more about you know, calling 239 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,439 Speaker 9: our basic defense and having our guys execute them and 240 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,840 Speaker 9: be physical and see who who can play and where 241 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 9: we need to work. That's really what it's more about. 242 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 9: In the preseason. Then, trying to stop something with some 243 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 9: kind of a scheme doesn't mean you don't get mad, 244 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 9: you do, you get upset. I mean, we want everything stopped. 245 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:22,760 Speaker 9: We don't want the ball to be run on us. Ever, 246 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 9: that's probably our biggest thing and but right now we're 247 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 9: also trying to get guys ready to play and see 248 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 9: who can play. 249 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 10: John, you said, you know ideal you like had the 250 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,840 Speaker 10: offensive line of your grounds, the open spots after the 251 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 10: first few weeks kind of close. 252 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:40,040 Speaker 9: Are you to make him a decision? 253 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 2: Craft? 254 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,360 Speaker 9: Yeah, I think we're close. I think we have a 255 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,640 Speaker 9: pretty good idea what what way it's trending in different areas. 256 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:54,640 Speaker 9: It's not altogether solidified, but we'ren't a good place right now. 257 00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:00,800 Speaker 5: Training cam to for preseason games probably is difficult for 258 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 5: you to make a decision with running you know, running 259 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:07,080 Speaker 5: backs and blackfield and wide receivers is a good problem 260 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,040 Speaker 5: to have to make this final. 261 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 9: Decision you're talking about like the last few roster spots. Uh, yeah, 262 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 9: I mean you want to have guys competing for those 263 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 9: last few spots. You certainly don't want to be scouring 264 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 9: the waiver wire. You want to have guys here that 265 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 9: you want to keep on the team, and you want 266 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 9: to have a few more than you might be able 267 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 9: to keep on the team. That's that'd definitely be the idea. 268 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:28,280 Speaker 9: So we're probably in that situation. But still there's guys 269 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:31,000 Speaker 9: who have something to prove. Still and this last week 270 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 9: Green Bay practice, green Bay game is gonna matter. 271 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 8: John, What have you learned over the years and the 272 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 8: joint practices to get the best the most out of them. 273 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:44,079 Speaker 9: Mat Yeah, I mean it's just the mindset of the 274 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:46,839 Speaker 9: two teams is the most important thing. If both teams 275 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 9: come in with the same idea that they're they're two 276 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 9: good football teams. Are trying to take advantage of the 277 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 9: of the opportunity to practice against another good football team 278 00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 9: and get a good football practice in. That's what you want. 279 00:11:58,120 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 9: If a team's coming in like they're trying to prove something, 280 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 9: you know, some some junior high thing, then you know 281 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 9: it's usually not good. So we're we're excited to go 282 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 9: against Green Bay. We think they're that kind of a group, 283 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 9: you know, the good football team right there, you know, 284 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 9: almost in the AFC Championship game. Proven team. So we're 285 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 9: looking forward to the opportunity to go practice against those guys. 286 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:21,839 Speaker 3: Asked about Tyler lind obaum in a bit. 287 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:23,200 Speaker 10: Is he resting? 288 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 6: Well, how's that going on? 289 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:26,440 Speaker 9: Yeah, he's right on schedule, just kind of where we 290 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,960 Speaker 9: were planning. He will won't be any kind of contact 291 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 9: work this week, but he's Uh, he's in all the 292 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 9: uh the act practices that we do. He's been doing 293 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 9: all that, so he's in a good place. John. 294 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:41,320 Speaker 7: We know you've designed new returns and covered skins and kickoffs. 295 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 7: How much, if at all, have you incorporated defensive gapping 296 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 7: principles and offensive blocking principles into that? 297 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 9: And it's more than yeah, uh no, more than the past. 298 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,079 Speaker 9: I mean that's always been what you try to do. 299 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,560 Speaker 9: You just don't have to. The thing it's eliminated is 300 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:59,079 Speaker 9: the deep long drop, you know, so you're teaching basically 301 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:00,680 Speaker 9: where to get set up a lot more in the 302 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 9: past on the run. Now it's now you basically stand 303 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:04,240 Speaker 9: there and you see the ball in the air. So 304 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 9: it kind of gives you an idea what your what 305 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,079 Speaker 9: your geometry needs to be on the play. But it's 306 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 9: always defensive gap principles and offensive scheme principles and scheme fits. 307 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,520 Speaker 9: So uh, it's just it's not exactly like the offensive defense, 308 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:19,000 Speaker 9: but the principles are the same. To your point, Coach 309 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 9: chapter an. 310 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,880 Speaker 8: Injury again his frame just through two preseason games, what 311 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:24,480 Speaker 8: have you seen for. 312 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 9: Them so far? In yeah, you know, I'll tell you 313 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,199 Speaker 9: bo Is he has he has he has dealt with 314 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,840 Speaker 9: a few injuries, but quiet until we got him in 315 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 9: a rookie skit. Then he wasn't quiet anymore. He's funny, 316 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 9: so that was fun to see his personality even more. 317 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,840 Speaker 9: But yeah, he's he's he's stepped up, he's made he's 318 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,160 Speaker 9: covered well, but he's also made some hits. That's what 319 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 9: I've enjoyed seeing both in defense and special. 320 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:51,520 Speaker 8: Teams snaps today. Have you seen this development season? The 321 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,720 Speaker 8: development guys kiss. 322 00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:55,079 Speaker 9: You know, he made a big move this last week. 323 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,360 Speaker 9: He finally I think his ankle's feeling better, finally had 324 00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:00,280 Speaker 9: the ankle injury there, and uh, he probably did hamper 325 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,600 Speaker 9: him up until now. And he really he played well 326 00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 9: in the game. He was he was he was stout 327 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:07,200 Speaker 9: at the point of attack, and I had an opportunity 328 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,600 Speaker 9: because of Tyler not practicing and we wanted to get 329 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,120 Speaker 9: Ben some reps of guard. He had an opportunity to 330 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 9: get in there and and do some stuff. So I 331 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 9: thought he did a good job today, and he did 332 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:16,680 Speaker 9: a good job in the game. 333 00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:20,160 Speaker 8: Mark Andrews progression, Okay. 334 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:21,800 Speaker 9: Yeah, it's a very minor thing, very mind with I'm 335 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 9: just not we were just not messing with him. Right now. 336 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:26,400 Speaker 9: Don't worry about Mark. He's gonna be fine. 337 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 2: Is he going for the. 338 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 7: Yeah? 339 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean I like it.
