WEBVTT - Foerster Talk Week 5 Matchup vs. the Cowboys | Press Pass

0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:00.880
<v Speaker 1>News up here.

0:00:02.560 --> 0:00:09.320
<v Speaker 2>Uh, maybe a couple of weeks ago about McCaffrey and

0:00:10.119 --> 0:00:13.640
<v Speaker 2>the patient hitting holes, and I think you talked about,

0:00:13.720 --> 0:00:17.320
<v Speaker 2>you know, there are some runs in which there might.

0:00:17.200 --> 0:00:20.080
<v Speaker 3>Be a hole, but you need to wait and not

0:00:20.640 --> 0:00:22.959
<v Speaker 3>hit the hole because there are things that are developing.

0:00:23.200 --> 0:00:25.960
<v Speaker 3>And I took it to me maybe downfield blockers, my

0:00:26.120 --> 0:00:27.440
<v Speaker 3>proceivers or whatever.

0:00:28.000 --> 0:00:34.400
<v Speaker 1>Is that what you're referencing in regard to like what

0:00:35.080 --> 0:00:35.920
<v Speaker 1>McCaffrey maybe.

0:00:35.880 --> 0:00:39.919
<v Speaker 3>Last year, like, hey, you see all run through the hole, right,

0:00:40.200 --> 0:00:42.640
<v Speaker 3>but like he was being taught for the first time,

0:00:42.800 --> 0:00:46.600
<v Speaker 3>like maybe not in display you need to actually wait, wait, wait,

0:00:46.840 --> 0:00:50.080
<v Speaker 3>and then sure, yeah, because you might have downfield blocking,

0:00:50.159 --> 0:00:51.959
<v Speaker 3>which anyway I just want to Yeah.

0:00:51.960 --> 0:00:55.720
<v Speaker 1>I'd say very few times this year has he been

0:00:55.760 --> 0:00:58.160
<v Speaker 1>impatient and say this year that that's not happened now?

0:00:58.200 --> 0:00:59.959
<v Speaker 1>Is that why there's more yards? Is that why he's

0:01:00.080 --> 0:01:02.080
<v Speaker 1>having the year he's had up to, you know, through

0:01:02.160 --> 0:01:04.240
<v Speaker 1>four games. I don't know that that's exactly, but I

0:01:04.240 --> 0:01:07.399
<v Speaker 1>would say that there's there's fewer misses and his perspective,

0:01:07.400 --> 0:01:09.200
<v Speaker 1>there's better understanding of every plays we put it in

0:01:09.240 --> 0:01:11.240
<v Speaker 1>every week. He's got a much better feel for what

0:01:11.280 --> 0:01:13.399
<v Speaker 1>we're doing. Through training camp, offseason and everything. So yeah,

0:01:13.680 --> 0:01:15.120
<v Speaker 1>I would say that's probably a part of it. I

0:01:15.160 --> 0:01:17.119
<v Speaker 1>don't think he's missed anything this year. I think he's

0:01:17.120 --> 0:01:19.240
<v Speaker 1>been on point with all the runs. In fact, when

0:01:19.640 --> 0:01:22.520
<v Speaker 1>this past week a couple of plays were supposed to

0:01:22.600 --> 0:01:25.520
<v Speaker 1>do something and it wasn't there, and he took what

0:01:25.600 --> 0:01:27.480
<v Speaker 1>was available and scored. So I mean, he did a

0:01:27.480 --> 0:01:28.360
<v Speaker 1>great job this week.

0:01:28.760 --> 0:01:32.000
<v Speaker 3>What is that my concept of Like, I'm sure a

0:01:32.040 --> 0:01:34.520
<v Speaker 3>lot of running backs in the NFL like run through

0:01:34.520 --> 0:01:37.440
<v Speaker 3>the open hole, and you know, you don't wait to

0:01:37.520 --> 0:01:40.000
<v Speaker 3>run through the open hole because what you guys teaching

0:01:40.280 --> 0:01:41.440
<v Speaker 3>like UNI different.

0:01:41.880 --> 0:01:44.039
<v Speaker 1>No, it's just a it's certain styles of plays. You know,

0:01:44.120 --> 0:01:47.199
<v Speaker 1>there's there's uh, there's a thing called with running backs.

0:01:47.240 --> 0:01:50.080
<v Speaker 1>It's called U. I mean every in zone running, I

0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:52.600
<v Speaker 1>can say this, in zone running, inside and outside zone running,

0:01:52.600 --> 0:01:56.160
<v Speaker 1>there's a big coaching point to press the line of scrimmage,

0:01:56.200 --> 0:02:00.160
<v Speaker 1>to press the landmark. So if your landmark is the

0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:02.120
<v Speaker 1>outside leg of the tight end, if your landmarks the

0:02:02.160 --> 0:02:04.040
<v Speaker 1>inside leg of the guard, you want to get as

0:02:04.120 --> 0:02:06.800
<v Speaker 1>close to the line of scrimmage to set the zone

0:02:06.800 --> 0:02:09.360
<v Speaker 1>blocks before you make your break. So there might be

0:02:09.360 --> 0:02:12.000
<v Speaker 1>a big hole that expresses itself really early in the play.

0:02:12.000 --> 0:02:14.160
<v Speaker 1>But your three yards deep in the backfield, that hole

0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:16.360
<v Speaker 1>looks like it's there. But if you cut back to

0:02:16.400 --> 0:02:19.240
<v Speaker 1>that hole, not everybody's been able to set their blocks

0:02:19.280 --> 0:02:21.359
<v Speaker 1>because it's not like everybody's going to block man man, man,

0:02:21.400 --> 0:02:25.080
<v Speaker 1>man man. We're zoning, and he needs to draw defenders

0:02:25.560 --> 0:02:30.440
<v Speaker 1>to the zone block and then he can then whatever

0:02:30.480 --> 0:02:32.480
<v Speaker 1>holes there will beyond people. But if he does it

0:02:32.520 --> 0:02:35.120
<v Speaker 1>too soon, Let's say I'm going to block. I'm double

0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:36.760
<v Speaker 1>teaming someone here and I'm getting ready to come off

0:02:36.760 --> 0:02:40.320
<v Speaker 1>and block you, but the ball isn't here and you're

0:02:40.360 --> 0:02:42.040
<v Speaker 1>not there, and so if he cuts back, you just

0:02:42.080 --> 0:02:43.520
<v Speaker 1>go over there, and I'm stuck over here. I can't

0:02:43.560 --> 0:02:47.160
<v Speaker 1>block you. But if we saw a microphone, but if

0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:49.680
<v Speaker 1>he keeps coming, you come to me. He draws the

0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:52.679
<v Speaker 1>blockers to me. That's what zone running is, and that's

0:02:52.720 --> 0:02:55.359
<v Speaker 1>that patient piece that sometimes you go, holy cow, there

0:02:55.360 --> 0:02:57.280
<v Speaker 1>it is. But when you hit it, we don't have

0:02:57.320 --> 0:03:00.280
<v Speaker 1>half the guy's block because you didn't draw the It's

0:03:00.280 --> 0:03:02.840
<v Speaker 1>his job in zone running to bring the blockers. Just now,

0:03:02.840 --> 0:03:06.480
<v Speaker 1>when everybody's man blocking, bang bang bang bang bang, everybody's

0:03:06.480 --> 0:03:08.560
<v Speaker 1>on a man whatever hole shows you hit that hole

0:03:09.280 --> 0:03:12.079
<v Speaker 1>and Frank Gore. I always say Frank Gore is a

0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:15.320
<v Speaker 1>great gap scheme, runner and man scheme because what hole

0:03:15.520 --> 0:03:17.800
<v Speaker 1>was there was what you hit and Frank could get

0:03:17.800 --> 0:03:20.480
<v Speaker 1>through a slither that was that big. But if he

0:03:20.520 --> 0:03:22.200
<v Speaker 1>saw it and he knew what he knew the play,

0:03:22.240 --> 0:03:24.160
<v Speaker 1>it's like, I'm going to hit that hole and eventually

0:03:24.160 --> 0:03:25.519
<v Speaker 1>that hole may get a little bit bigger because I

0:03:25.560 --> 0:03:27.040
<v Speaker 1>know the concept of play. But it's not so much

0:03:27.160 --> 0:03:29.480
<v Speaker 1>drawing what zone blocking is, which is you need to

0:03:29.480 --> 0:03:32.120
<v Speaker 1>press to draw the blocker the defenders to the blockers.

0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:34.519
<v Speaker 1>Does that make sense? Yeah? Is he reading the hole

0:03:34.600 --> 0:03:38.440
<v Speaker 1>or read the landmark? He presses the landmark and he

0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:40.600
<v Speaker 1>reads it. How we do it is he reads like

0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:44.720
<v Speaker 1>the like a gap. He just reads it what starts

0:03:44.720 --> 0:03:46.360
<v Speaker 1>to come op. So, for example, if you're gonna run

0:03:46.360 --> 0:03:48.600
<v Speaker 1>it at the outside leg of the tight end, if

0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:50.520
<v Speaker 1>there's no defender there, he's just gonna run there and

0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:52.520
<v Speaker 1>just keep running. But all of a sudden the defender's

0:03:52.520 --> 0:03:54.240
<v Speaker 1>there and we're blocking him out there, then he's going

0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:56.240
<v Speaker 1>to kind of start to work back and then one

0:03:56.280 --> 0:03:58.440
<v Speaker 1>gap at a time, there'll eventually we hope there's a

0:03:58.480 --> 0:04:01.680
<v Speaker 1>hole if there's not, then you just run and fall

0:04:01.720 --> 0:04:04.840
<v Speaker 1>down and get three yards. You know you're set off.

0:04:04.840 --> 0:04:08.600
<v Speaker 4>And with the way to to attack Parsons is to

0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:11.120
<v Speaker 4>run right at him. I assume that's easier said than done.

0:04:11.720 --> 0:04:17.479
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, who said that? Somebody? People people analysts have said that, Okay, yeah,

0:04:17.520 --> 0:04:20.320
<v Speaker 1>well yeah, I mean they can. Yeah, you can run

0:04:20.360 --> 0:04:22.000
<v Speaker 1>at him. He's a good player. We tried to run

0:04:22.040 --> 0:04:23.720
<v Speaker 1>at him, and he beats blockers and make tackles, so

0:04:23.760 --> 0:04:25.240
<v Speaker 1>you can run away from He's gonna run really really

0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:26.719
<v Speaker 1>fast and catch up to you when you're run away

0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:28.640
<v Speaker 1>from him. There's a lot of different things you get.

0:04:28.640 --> 0:04:29.920
<v Speaker 1>You just have to make sure you account for him,

0:04:29.960 --> 0:04:31.799
<v Speaker 1>like we have every other good player we play against,

0:04:31.800 --> 0:04:33.880
<v Speaker 1>and he's a great player. These other great players just

0:04:33.920 --> 0:04:35.760
<v Speaker 1>to have to have a plan as to how you're

0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:38.120
<v Speaker 1>gonna deal with them, right. You can't. You can't say

0:04:38.120 --> 0:04:40.000
<v Speaker 1>every single player you run away, every single player you

0:04:40.040 --> 0:04:42.480
<v Speaker 1>run at him. That wears itself out as well. There

0:04:42.560 --> 0:04:44.440
<v Speaker 1>has to be a balance that you have to decide

0:04:44.440 --> 0:04:45.920
<v Speaker 1>what kind of plays you run at him, what kind

0:04:45.920 --> 0:04:47.560
<v Speaker 1>of plays you don't run at him, and what how

0:04:47.600 --> 0:04:49.600
<v Speaker 1>he defends things, what position they move them all over

0:04:49.600 --> 0:04:51.760
<v Speaker 1>the place, so the position matters too. You think, oh,

0:04:51.800 --> 0:04:53.720
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna run this play at Micael Parsons take advantage

0:04:53.720 --> 0:04:55.359
<v Speaker 1>of X Y Z, and oh crap, he's lined up

0:04:55.360 --> 0:04:56.800
<v Speaker 1>at the three technique or he's lined up over the

0:04:56.800 --> 0:04:58.760
<v Speaker 1>center and you're like, oh, well, that's so much for

0:04:58.800 --> 0:05:01.000
<v Speaker 1>that plan. So you just have to have a well

0:05:01.000 --> 0:05:02.600
<v Speaker 1>balanced plan to take care of a great player, and

0:05:02.600 --> 0:05:04.480
<v Speaker 1>that's what we'll hope to hope to try to do it.

0:05:04.480 --> 0:05:06.200
<v Speaker 1>It's really really hard because he's a great one.

0:05:06.440 --> 0:05:10.080
<v Speaker 4>Chris, how would you evaluate Colvi? The numbers seem to

0:05:10.080 --> 0:05:12.320
<v Speaker 4>indicate that he struggled a little bit as a pass protector,

0:05:12.360 --> 0:05:14.919
<v Speaker 4>but it also shows that you guys are averaging like

0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:17.360
<v Speaker 4>force having to carry running behind him.

0:05:18.080 --> 0:05:20.240
<v Speaker 1>How would you a film show? No, he's doing a

0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:22.560
<v Speaker 1>good job. He's had he's had the bad play, he's

0:05:22.560 --> 0:05:24.839
<v Speaker 1>had the you know, the Pittsburgh game is was a

0:05:25.160 --> 0:05:28.000
<v Speaker 1>was an outlier. We you know, we we left him,

0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:30.440
<v Speaker 1>We left him alone, and he he fought the best

0:05:30.480 --> 0:05:32.560
<v Speaker 1>fight he could and he lost some battles and obviously

0:05:32.640 --> 0:05:34.360
<v Speaker 1>the guy had a good day and he got beat

0:05:34.360 --> 0:05:37.240
<v Speaker 1>once on Sunday, and you know the rest of the day,

0:05:37.279 --> 0:05:39.000
<v Speaker 1>he had a really good day against the same players

0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:41.960
<v Speaker 1>and so whatever. I don't know the evaluation process and

0:05:42.000 --> 0:05:44.680
<v Speaker 1>how it goes. He's not great, any better or any

0:05:44.680 --> 0:05:46.880
<v Speaker 1>worse runner pass Obviously you'd like to not have the

0:05:47.400 --> 0:05:49.760
<v Speaker 1>sack he gave up. But he did a bunch of

0:05:49.800 --> 0:05:52.200
<v Speaker 1>really good things in the game as well. Everybody's got

0:05:52.240 --> 0:05:53.760
<v Speaker 1>room to improve. Our whole group up front. Man, we

0:05:53.760 --> 0:05:55.600
<v Speaker 1>got room to improve it. Obviously Sunday there were some

0:05:55.680 --> 0:05:57.599
<v Speaker 1>nice things in the protection game. We had a good game,

0:05:57.640 --> 0:05:59.680
<v Speaker 1>and so on and so forth. But there's just still

0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:01.560
<v Speaker 1>we got so much work to do to improve. And

0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:04.520
<v Speaker 1>Colton's part of that process. He's got to get better. Jake,

0:06:04.560 --> 0:06:06.080
<v Speaker 1>all of them do. They all got work to do, Trent,

0:06:06.200 --> 0:06:08.799
<v Speaker 1>all of us. We just it's the season. It's just different.

0:06:08.880 --> 0:06:10.479
<v Speaker 1>I don't know why. I don't know how to describe it.

0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:12.400
<v Speaker 1>But as well as we may or may not be

0:06:12.400 --> 0:06:15.160
<v Speaker 1>playing that our records good, we can play better. And

0:06:15.200 --> 0:06:18.240
<v Speaker 1>I think it's just the off season training camp. You

0:06:18.360 --> 0:06:20.520
<v Speaker 1>play your way into the year to see what you are.

0:06:20.600 --> 0:06:22.920
<v Speaker 1>The good thing is, you know, I had a very

0:06:22.960 --> 0:06:25.400
<v Speaker 1>high expectation. I was really hard on him in training camp.

0:06:25.520 --> 0:06:27.880
<v Speaker 1>I was I feel we should have hit this ground

0:06:28.000 --> 0:06:30.400
<v Speaker 1>running this year. But you got to play in the games.

0:06:30.440 --> 0:06:31.880
<v Speaker 1>You got to get back in the game condition. You

0:06:31.920 --> 0:06:34.680
<v Speaker 1>gotta gotta we gotta get a feel for how things

0:06:34.720 --> 0:06:36.359
<v Speaker 1>are going this year. The defense is how they're defending

0:06:36.400 --> 0:06:38.000
<v Speaker 1>us differently based on what we did a year ago.

0:06:38.440 --> 0:06:40.599
<v Speaker 1>And it's just a process. And the good thing is

0:06:40.640 --> 0:06:42.800
<v Speaker 1>that I think that our jump off spot different than

0:06:42.800 --> 0:06:44.520
<v Speaker 1>a year ago is higher. You know where Colton is,

0:06:44.560 --> 0:06:47.680
<v Speaker 1>where the inside tier three players are, we jump off

0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:49.120
<v Speaker 1>at a higher spot. So as we go through the

0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:51.760
<v Speaker 1>season four games in now, we keep progressing. I think

0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:54.200
<v Speaker 1>it gets better and better. So I'm not down on

0:06:54.279 --> 0:06:56.839
<v Speaker 1>Colton in any stretch of the imagination, pass protection, run

0:06:56.839 --> 0:06:59.440
<v Speaker 1>game wise, He's just got he's got some work.

0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:02.480
<v Speaker 5>To do, Frank or he could have had affinity for

0:07:02.800 --> 0:07:06.360
<v Speaker 5>not running right into defenders. He didn't take the big hits.

0:07:07.080 --> 0:07:10.679
<v Speaker 5>And is that something that it's a running back quality

0:07:10.760 --> 0:07:13.280
<v Speaker 5>or a tendency And does Christian have that same type

0:07:13.320 --> 0:07:16.040
<v Speaker 5>of maybe a tendency did not go straight onto.

0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:18.040
<v Speaker 1>A guy and he saw two plays. Okay, yeah, he

0:07:18.520 --> 0:07:21.440
<v Speaker 1>a Christian's not afraid to take a guy on. But

0:07:21.520 --> 0:07:23.640
<v Speaker 1>Christian also knows how to you know, to take a

0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:25.680
<v Speaker 1>hit as as you're kind of alluding to or not

0:07:25.720 --> 0:07:27.520
<v Speaker 1>make a guy and his ability to make a guy miss,

0:07:27.520 --> 0:07:30.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean, unbelievable. We ran the play where Trent was leading,

0:07:30.120 --> 0:07:31.880
<v Speaker 1>We kind of ran a counterplay in Trent and he

0:07:31.960 --> 0:07:33.640
<v Speaker 1>were going through the whole in the first second quarter

0:07:33.640 --> 0:07:35.160
<v Speaker 1>of the game. I don't remember where it was, and

0:07:35.200 --> 0:07:37.040
<v Speaker 1>there was a backside safety that came down later and

0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:38.760
<v Speaker 1>was free, and he kind of just jumped over him,

0:07:38.960 --> 0:07:40.520
<v Speaker 1>kind of like he jumped over the guy on the

0:07:40.520 --> 0:07:42.000
<v Speaker 1>swing screen we threw to him that he scored the

0:07:42.040 --> 0:07:43.440
<v Speaker 1>touchdown on. There was a free guy that over at

0:07:43.480 --> 0:07:45.760
<v Speaker 1>his leg and he just naturally picks his leg up

0:07:45.760 --> 0:07:47.400
<v Speaker 1>and makes him miss and goes on the next guy.

0:07:47.680 --> 0:07:50.800
<v Speaker 1>That's the uncoachable trait. That's the trait of Holy Ca.

0:07:50.960 --> 0:07:52.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you don't. We don't stand out there and

0:07:52.800 --> 0:07:54.520
<v Speaker 1>throw bags at him and make him jump over him.

0:07:54.560 --> 0:07:57.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean a heck. He has that trait, and that's

0:07:57.480 --> 0:07:59.040
<v Speaker 1>what he's great. You see that on tape, You see

0:07:59.040 --> 0:08:00.800
<v Speaker 1>that as you evaluate the kid. He's just got a

0:08:00.840 --> 0:08:04.320
<v Speaker 1>tremendous ability to make people miss. And obviously they all do.

0:08:04.440 --> 0:08:06.840
<v Speaker 1>You have to be able to avoid the big hit

0:08:06.920 --> 0:08:08.760
<v Speaker 1>and no when to fight the good fight and when

0:08:08.960 --> 0:08:12.040
<v Speaker 1>when the fight's over you I think.

0:08:11.840 --> 0:08:14.440
<v Speaker 6>You have one target to George and Debos and targeted

0:08:14.440 --> 0:08:16.880
<v Speaker 6>in passing him. Obviously it's coming back from injury a

0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:18.880
<v Speaker 6>little bit. This is an offense where you have so

0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:21.120
<v Speaker 6>many weapons. What do you make of that when you

0:08:21.200 --> 0:08:22.840
<v Speaker 6>when you have a game where one of them is

0:08:22.880 --> 0:08:26.960
<v Speaker 6>almost not involved at all, and are guys okay with that?

0:08:27.120 --> 0:08:30.240
<v Speaker 6>Knowing that in the grand scheme the offense is executed.

0:08:30.040 --> 0:08:31.640
<v Speaker 1>Very dog has his day. I think in our offense,

0:08:31.680 --> 0:08:32.920
<v Speaker 1>I think there are days that all of a sudden,

0:08:32.920 --> 0:08:34.599
<v Speaker 1>Deebo comes out. He didn't think You didn't think you

0:08:34.600 --> 0:08:36.600
<v Speaker 1>could a couple of weeks ago, comes back from injury.

0:08:36.600 --> 0:08:39.120
<v Speaker 1>You didn't expect that day. They just sometimes they just happen.

0:08:39.200 --> 0:08:41.280
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes it's where the defense plays. Sometimes it's a play

0:08:41.320 --> 0:08:42.439
<v Speaker 1>called at just the right time.

0:08:42.480 --> 0:08:42.640
<v Speaker 6>You know.

0:08:42.679 --> 0:08:44.880
<v Speaker 1>Other times you have the play design for George and

0:08:44.880 --> 0:08:47.360
<v Speaker 1>you call four of them and you catch the wrong defense.

0:08:47.440 --> 0:08:49.360
<v Speaker 1>Or you know, you have the play design for Deebo

0:08:49.480 --> 0:08:52.440
<v Speaker 1>last week and oh darn you catch it just wasn't right,

0:08:52.720 --> 0:08:56.360
<v Speaker 1>and then all of a sudden, everyone you called fryu thingo.

0:08:56.600 --> 0:08:58.199
<v Speaker 1>We had the right we hit the right coverage and

0:08:58.240 --> 0:08:59.880
<v Speaker 1>the right play. So it's not like the plays aren't

0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:02.560
<v Speaker 1>designed to get to everybody. And that's what the players understand.

0:09:02.600 --> 0:09:04.480
<v Speaker 1>We put this play in for this coverage, we put

0:09:04.480 --> 0:09:06.800
<v Speaker 1>this play in for this defense, and oh here we

0:09:06.840 --> 0:09:09.000
<v Speaker 1>call it and guess what, it's not there or guess what,

0:09:09.040 --> 0:09:11.000
<v Speaker 1>You're wide open for a touchdown and the right tackle

0:09:11.040 --> 0:09:12.840
<v Speaker 1>isn't good enough for the running back, or the quarterback

0:09:12.880 --> 0:09:15.240
<v Speaker 1>misses the throw or X, Y or Z happens. The

0:09:15.280 --> 0:09:17.280
<v Speaker 1>next thing you know, it isn't there. So it's not

0:09:17.559 --> 0:09:20.320
<v Speaker 1>it's not well, I don't know what I've never played

0:09:20.640 --> 0:09:22.320
<v Speaker 1>the Madden gamer in that stuff. I don't know what

0:09:22.320 --> 0:09:23.679
<v Speaker 1>they are. But you can say I'm throwing it to

0:09:23.679 --> 0:09:25.000
<v Speaker 1>George and you get to throw it to George. You know,

0:09:25.040 --> 0:09:26.839
<v Speaker 1>it just doesn't It doesn't work like that. There is

0:09:26.840 --> 0:09:28.320
<v Speaker 1>a coverage. You read it and you do the best

0:09:28.360 --> 0:09:30.520
<v Speaker 1>you can, and some of them you can design. That's

0:09:30.520 --> 0:09:34.760
<v Speaker 1>why sometimes not not forcing. But you can always say, Okay,

0:09:34.760 --> 0:09:36.959
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna throw a screen to Debo, right, I can

0:09:37.000 --> 0:09:38.520
<v Speaker 1>hand Deebo the ball. You can always, but it's a

0:09:38.559 --> 0:09:39.880
<v Speaker 1>little bit harder to do that with George. A little

0:09:39.880 --> 0:09:42.040
<v Speaker 1>bit hard to do though with BA and and with

0:09:42.120 --> 0:09:43.840
<v Speaker 1>Christians the same thing. You can. You can throw them

0:09:43.880 --> 0:09:45.319
<v Speaker 1>a screen, you can throw them a check down, you

0:09:45.360 --> 0:09:47.680
<v Speaker 1>can hand them the football. You can guarantee his touches.

0:09:47.720 --> 0:09:49.560
<v Speaker 1>With the other guys, it sometimes gets harder, but they

0:09:49.600 --> 0:09:51.960
<v Speaker 1>know their day's coming. And next thing, you know, George,

0:09:51.960 --> 0:09:54.240
<v Speaker 1>one of these days will have a breakout day, and

0:09:54.240 --> 0:09:55.960
<v Speaker 1>and some will be by design and some will just

0:09:56.000 --> 0:09:57.959
<v Speaker 1>because that's the way the play played out.

0:09:58.520 --> 0:10:01.400
<v Speaker 5>Well short of a time Rocks been a starting quarterback

0:10:01.480 --> 0:10:03.960
<v Speaker 5>in the NFL. Is his processing to go through what

0:10:04.000 --> 0:10:06.199
<v Speaker 5>you just talked about pretty rumble?

0:10:06.720 --> 0:10:09.439
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean he's he just the guy plays the

0:10:09.480 --> 0:10:11.560
<v Speaker 1>position really well. I mean that's all I can say that.

0:10:11.600 --> 0:10:13.959
<v Speaker 1>He's just a quarterback. I mean from the time whenever

0:10:13.960 --> 0:10:16.720
<v Speaker 1>he started playing it, he just sees the field, his

0:10:16.760 --> 0:10:18.319
<v Speaker 1>ability to nowhere to go with the football. I don't

0:10:18.360 --> 0:10:19.760
<v Speaker 1>know what that's a product of. I don't know if

0:10:19.800 --> 0:10:22.240
<v Speaker 1>it's his previous coaching, don't know if it's his coaching now.

0:10:22.679 --> 0:10:25.520
<v Speaker 1>It's probably a culmination of everything together. I always think

0:10:25.559 --> 0:10:27.000
<v Speaker 1>some of it is when you look at a guy's

0:10:28.000 --> 0:10:30.960
<v Speaker 1>physical abilities, you look at his height, weight, you look

0:10:30.960 --> 0:10:32.839
<v Speaker 1>at his speed, you look at you you realize it

0:10:32.920 --> 0:10:35.520
<v Speaker 1>as a shorter it's a little bit shorter guy. You know,

0:10:35.760 --> 0:10:38.160
<v Speaker 1>certain things you have to be pretty quick to do

0:10:38.240 --> 0:10:40.480
<v Speaker 1>because as that pocket, you're not six ' for Tom Brady,

0:10:40.480 --> 0:10:42.120
<v Speaker 1>they can stand there like a statue as the world's

0:10:42.160 --> 0:10:45.000
<v Speaker 1>coming at you and still deliver the ball. You have

0:10:45.080 --> 0:10:46.720
<v Speaker 1>to make quick. I don't know that that's it. I

0:10:46.840 --> 0:10:49.160
<v Speaker 1>really don't, but I'm saying there's Sometimes it's a byproduct

0:10:49.200 --> 0:10:51.959
<v Speaker 1>of a your coaching is growing up you as a kid,

0:10:52.000 --> 0:10:54.000
<v Speaker 1>and just how you survive and play the position, and

0:10:54.000 --> 0:10:55.880
<v Speaker 1>you learn to play the position. You learn I need

0:10:55.920 --> 0:10:58.000
<v Speaker 1>to get through my progression properly. If I'm going to

0:10:58.080 --> 0:11:00.400
<v Speaker 1>have the space and in the pocket, I need to

0:11:00.480 --> 0:11:02.600
<v Speaker 1>deliver the football. And now he's taking a step to

0:11:02.600 --> 0:11:05.040
<v Speaker 1>this level where now the defenders are bigger, the rush

0:11:05.280 --> 0:11:08.120
<v Speaker 1>is more intense. This week, you know, he'll know he

0:11:08.160 --> 0:11:09.880
<v Speaker 1>did play against these guys last year. It's gonna be

0:11:10.000 --> 0:11:12.800
<v Speaker 1>very intense. And being able to make decisions and deliver

0:11:12.840 --> 0:11:14.640
<v Speaker 1>the ball accurately. It's just something that he's learned to

0:11:14.679 --> 0:11:17.360
<v Speaker 1>do over time. And it is remarkable because you know,

0:11:17.440 --> 0:11:19.840
<v Speaker 1>some guys never learn it. Some guys are always late

0:11:19.840 --> 0:11:21.440
<v Speaker 1>to throw the ball. They're just gonna rely more on

0:11:21.600 --> 0:11:23.679
<v Speaker 1>arm talent. They're gonna wait for a guy to get

0:11:23.679 --> 0:11:25.240
<v Speaker 1>out before the throat and still get away with it,

0:11:25.360 --> 0:11:26.719
<v Speaker 1>or they're gonna li on their feet and say, I

0:11:26.760 --> 0:11:28.880
<v Speaker 1>don't care if the pocket's coming in around me, I'm

0:11:28.880 --> 0:11:30.400
<v Speaker 1>gonna make a play. That was manning. I mean, when

0:11:30.440 --> 0:11:32.680
<v Speaker 1>I was with Peyton, sometimes you would say he didn't

0:11:32.679 --> 0:11:35.439
<v Speaker 1>even let the play developed develop. He'd say, well, it's

0:11:35.440 --> 0:11:37.160
<v Speaker 1>cover too, this ball's going to the checkdown. Well, yeah,

0:11:37.280 --> 0:11:39.000
<v Speaker 1>going to checkout of cover two plays out like cover

0:11:39.040 --> 0:11:41.960
<v Speaker 1>two and literally they get back there and they stop this,

0:11:42.000 --> 0:11:44.080
<v Speaker 1>So then you're gonna go to the checkdown. Peyton would

0:11:44.120 --> 0:11:47.120
<v Speaker 1>sometimes say, because he'd say, if this rush it was

0:11:47.160 --> 0:11:49.000
<v Speaker 1>a really big rush team, I'm not gonna be able

0:11:49.000 --> 0:11:50.800
<v Speaker 1>to lose this rush. So I have to make the

0:11:50.840 --> 0:11:53.400
<v Speaker 1>decision now. So it's covered two, bang bang bang, that

0:11:53.400 --> 0:11:56.160
<v Speaker 1>ball's going to checkdown. It's single high. This is where

0:11:56.160 --> 0:11:57.840
<v Speaker 1>the ball should go. I'm gonna believe what I see.

0:11:57.880 --> 0:12:00.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm letting the ball rip on single high. Can wait.

0:12:00.920 --> 0:12:03.760
<v Speaker 1>Because of his who he was right, he wasn't gonna

0:12:03.760 --> 0:12:06.480
<v Speaker 1>be able to extend plays like a Mahomes or or guys.

0:12:06.559 --> 0:12:08.760
<v Speaker 1>See what I'm saying, So there's there's all those physical

0:12:08.760 --> 0:12:12.000
<v Speaker 1>limitations with a guy that then tie into how they

0:12:12.000 --> 0:12:14.440
<v Speaker 1>have to play the position, understanding everything that goes into it.

0:12:14.480 --> 0:12:16.640
<v Speaker 1>So sometimes that you know, you get what I'm saying.

0:12:16.760 --> 0:12:19.920
<v Speaker 4>So you could leave the you could leave the tight

0:12:20.000 --> 0:12:22.480
<v Speaker 4>end in the block. You could use your backs to

0:12:22.520 --> 0:12:25.520
<v Speaker 4>block you. Guys looking at the numbers in the first

0:12:25.559 --> 0:12:28.400
<v Speaker 4>month have allowed the offensive line to be on an

0:12:28.400 --> 0:12:31.320
<v Speaker 4>island largely. When you're getting five out in the pattern,

0:12:31.520 --> 0:12:34.480
<v Speaker 4>you're making them defend the entire field and brocks getting

0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:36.640
<v Speaker 4>rid of it quick. Why is that the plan? Why

0:12:36.720 --> 0:12:38.280
<v Speaker 4>is that the preferred plan? Do you think?

0:12:38.960 --> 0:12:41.120
<v Speaker 1>I think there's a lot of different reasons to do something. Again,

0:12:41.200 --> 0:12:42.800
<v Speaker 1>Coule's got a lot of different reasons for doing it.

0:12:43.880 --> 0:12:46.880
<v Speaker 1>One thing is, you know when you're not certain to me,

0:12:47.120 --> 0:12:49.080
<v Speaker 1>this is me talking when you're not certain what they're

0:12:49.080 --> 0:12:50.360
<v Speaker 1>going to be in. If I know they're going to

0:12:50.400 --> 0:12:53.640
<v Speaker 1>be in single high and I know I I can

0:12:53.679 --> 0:12:55.200
<v Speaker 1>probably get fewer guy. When I don't know if I

0:12:55.240 --> 0:12:57.800
<v Speaker 1>may get a three man rush, a four man rush,

0:12:57.880 --> 0:12:59.760
<v Speaker 1>I may get covered two. I mean, I need all

0:12:59.800 --> 0:13:01.560
<v Speaker 1>my eyes out so I can progress and have someone

0:13:01.559 --> 0:13:03.320
<v Speaker 1>to go to. I leave a tight end in all

0:13:03.360 --> 0:13:05.960
<v Speaker 1>of a sudden, it's not the right coverage, and I

0:13:05.960 --> 0:13:07.600
<v Speaker 1>want to throw the ball to Iu, but now I

0:13:07.600 --> 0:13:09.839
<v Speaker 1>don't have the flare control underneath it. I can't. I'm

0:13:09.840 --> 0:13:11.600
<v Speaker 1>holding the ball because this guy's blocking. I may have

0:13:11.640 --> 0:13:14.000
<v Speaker 1>ten days to throw the ball, but there's nobody open.

0:13:14.400 --> 0:13:16.880
<v Speaker 1>So maybe it's And I can't answer that question as

0:13:16.880 --> 0:13:19.480
<v Speaker 1>to why we decide to do that more I'm assuming

0:13:19.480 --> 0:13:21.680
<v Speaker 1>it is for some of those reasons, because maybe you

0:13:21.679 --> 0:13:23.320
<v Speaker 1>don't know exactly what they're gonna be and you're trying

0:13:23.320 --> 0:13:25.160
<v Speaker 1>to give your quarterback the most options. Maybe it's the

0:13:25.160 --> 0:13:27.880
<v Speaker 1>way Kyle feels best about attacking a defense. Maybe it's

0:13:27.920 --> 0:13:31.360
<v Speaker 1>the way we feel Brock. Those are good plays for

0:13:31.400 --> 0:13:34.400
<v Speaker 1>Brock and getting the guys out with the options. And

0:13:34.440 --> 0:13:37.400
<v Speaker 1>then sometimes you know it's the it's there's so many

0:13:37.480 --> 0:13:39.439
<v Speaker 1>variables that go into it, but that's a good observation

0:13:39.880 --> 0:13:41.920
<v Speaker 1>and usually what it is. And I think that led

0:13:41.920 --> 0:13:43.839
<v Speaker 1>a little bit to the Pittsburgh game where there was

0:13:43.880 --> 0:13:45.960
<v Speaker 1>a little bit uncertainly. All of a sudden, boy, they're

0:13:46.000 --> 0:13:47.520
<v Speaker 1>not playing like we thought they were going to play.

0:13:47.960 --> 0:13:49.559
<v Speaker 1>We need to get these guys out to be sure,

0:13:49.920 --> 0:13:51.360
<v Speaker 1>and all of a sudden. Now you're leaving Colt maybe

0:13:51.360 --> 0:13:53.319
<v Speaker 1>in some more one on ones that we hadn't planned

0:13:53.320 --> 0:13:55.000
<v Speaker 1>on doing. But boy, if we leave the chippern there,

0:13:55.200 --> 0:13:57.880
<v Speaker 1>sure TJ Watt, but then there's nowhere to go with

0:13:57.880 --> 0:13:59.160
<v Speaker 1>the ball. You're holding the ball longer and then the

0:13:59.160 --> 0:14:00.839
<v Speaker 1>other guys start showing up and then it's like, well,

0:14:00.840 --> 0:14:02.679
<v Speaker 1>you took care of TJ. But the quarterback they want

0:14:02.679 --> 0:14:04.839
<v Speaker 1>to throw the ball. So that's that constant trade off,

0:14:05.040 --> 0:14:06.800
<v Speaker 1>and it's that cat and mouse game of what are

0:14:06.800 --> 0:14:08.720
<v Speaker 1>they in? What do we have called? How do we

0:14:08.720 --> 0:14:09.800
<v Speaker 1>get to the right place. It's not like we come

0:14:09.840 --> 0:14:11.880
<v Speaker 1>to line scrimmage every play and we aren't Payton manning

0:14:11.920 --> 0:14:14.720
<v Speaker 1>it right. We're not omaha omaha, checking some other play

0:14:14.800 --> 0:14:16.920
<v Speaker 1>and then throwing the ball. You know, we know what

0:14:16.920 --> 0:14:18.520
<v Speaker 1>they're in, or we're able to see what they're in.

0:14:19.120 --> 0:14:22.600
<v Speaker 1>We're calling it and he's executing it, and that's why

0:14:22.640 --> 0:14:26.800
<v Speaker 1>we end up. So thank you
