1
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:10,640
Speaker 1: I'm Taylor's arzer and this is the OTP. Brian Callahan coach.

2
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:12,600
Speaker 1: I know it didn't go the way you wanted to,

3
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 1: but you're developing a roster and there are some good

4
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:19,640
Speaker 1: things that happen over the course of the football game. Ultimately,

5
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:20,439
Speaker 1: you want wins.

6
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm very pleased with some of the play from

7
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 2: our young players, the CAM included. I thought, I think

8
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 2: Elic and Chim have have really started their seasons out

9
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:33,519
Speaker 2: really well. For I mean, for what they've done in

10
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 2: three games as rookies is pretty tremendous. Tony Pollard's playing

11
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 2: his tail off for us. He's given us everything he has,

12
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:43,879
Speaker 2: you know, defensively, I think Jeff has been everything you

13
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:46,279
Speaker 2: could ever hope for in terms of just the disruption

14
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:48,599
Speaker 2: and the play he's He's played at a level that

15
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 2: I think exceeds last year, and he just doesn't quite

16
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 2: get the recognition because we don't have the wins to

17
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 2: show for it. But there's there's some good things going on,

18
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 2: and we got to keep refining it and doing better.

19
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 2: We're not there yet. Some of the things that we

20
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 2: got to get corrected got to get corrected quickly, and

21
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 2: we got to play that way for four quarters to

22
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 2: put ourselves in position to win. We've played some good

23
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 2: football teams, but everybody's good in this league, and we

24
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 2: haven't played well enough over the course the entirety of

25
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:18,199
Speaker 2: the game with enough consistency to win. And I believe

26
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,479
Speaker 2: we're capable of it, and we got to do everything

27
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:22,119
Speaker 2: we can to focus on getting one this week.

28
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 1: I think it's obvious that cam Ward has a lot

29
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:29,399
Speaker 1: of potential and he's shown it so far. Jim Dka

30
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 1: as a specialist and on offense, elec Io Manor as

31
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: a wide receiver. You just referenced some of those young

32
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 1: players when they get that many reps coach in the

33
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 1: first three weeks of the season, how much better do

34
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 1: they get because of those reps as the season continues.

35
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the that's the mantra. You know, that's the

36
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 2: draft and development mindset that we have here where we

37
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 2: have to you know, we have to allow these guys

38
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 2: to play and they're gonna their rookies, They're going to

39
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 2: make mistakes and we have to live with it. I

40
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 2: think you got to add gunner Helm in that conversation too,

41
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 2: with just the performances he's had through through the first

42
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 2: three games for a young tight end. It's hard to

43
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 2: play tight end in this league. And he's really done

44
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 2: a nice job coming in and contributing. So that's how

45
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 2: you have to do it. If you want, if you

46
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:11,920
Speaker 2: really want to develop players, they have to play, and

47
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 2: especially your young players. They got to find roles and

48
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 2: they have to perform, and then they have to fail,

49
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 2: and then they have to grow. And that's the only

50
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 2: way that it happens.

51
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 1: Very rarely.

52
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 2: Are you just ready and you you know he'll be

53
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 2: ready in a year. That's not really how it works, right.

54
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 2: You know, they got to go in there and perform

55
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 2: and get critiqued and get graded and know where they

56
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 2: failed and continue to get better. And those guys have

57
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 2: done an excellent job and then they're all they have

58
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 2: the right mindset for it.

59
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: I know you'll appreciate this analogy because it is Ryder

60
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: Cup week on the golf course. When I make a mistake,

61
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 1: I have a hard time forgetting about that mistake and

62
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: it typically leads to another one. The thing that always

63
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: has impressed me most about cam Ward watching him at

64
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,679
Speaker 1: Washington State and then watching him at Miami is that

65
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 1: got took some shots and not all. It didn't always

66
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: go well, but when he made a bogie, he would

67
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 1: come back and birdie the next hole. How did he

68
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: handle the pick six with you yesterday? Was the same

69
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: thing as what he's done in the past, y e.

70
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 2: Factly like you would think, you know, it was me. Shoot,

71
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 2: it was a third play of the game. A lot

72
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 2: of football left at that moment. But yeah, he's I

73
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 2: think he's His perspective on mistakes is fantastic, and he

74
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 2: doesn't ever change his demeanor. He doesn't get too high

75
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,919
Speaker 2: or too low. He understands it. One play is one play,

76
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 2: and you gotta get ready to play the next one whatever,

77
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 2: whatever the result of the play is. He's got a

78
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 2: great demeanor and perspective under duress, and I think that

79
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 2: that's what helps him bounce back quickly. And you have

80
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 2: to be able to do that in the NFL. You're

81
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 2: going to have bad stretches, you're going to have bad plays,

82
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 2: You're going to throw interceptions as a quarterback. That's just

83
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 2: the way the game gets played. But his ability to

84
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 2: bounce back and not be rattled by it is exactly

85
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 2: how you have to be. There's almost a corner's mindset

86
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 2: to that where corners get beat in this league, they

87
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 2: give up touchdowns and so you just got to get

88
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 2: line up and do it again. And that's the way

89
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 2: he looks at it.

90
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, And from afar, it looks like he's really coachable,

91
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: like he wants your input. Just watching him on the

92
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: plane with you a couple of weeks ago after the

93
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,599
Speaker 1: Denver game and watching him on the sidelines, he's ready

94
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: to hear what you have to say about how he

95
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 1: can get better.

96
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,479
Speaker 2: He wants to be coached, and he loves being coached.

97
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 2: And I think that's an important part of for young

98
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 2: players in particulars being open to doing things that don't

99
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,719
Speaker 2: you know, you don't know enough about yet, and he's

100
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 2: learning very quickly. But he's very much open to coaching

101
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 2: and to critique and to trying to get better so

102
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:40,840
Speaker 2: he can be the best version of himself on Sundays.

103
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 2: And he's done a really good job thus far.

104
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 3: When you bring Helman's creamy buffalo chicken dip to the

105

Speaker 3: watch party, you can cheer too loud, or block the TV,

106

Speaker 3: or be a couch coach, and no one will eject

107
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:53,080

00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,600
Speaker 1: All right now? Tell us, no matter what the result

124
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 1: is in a football game, coach, how do you treat

125
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 1: the day after the game. How much time do you

126
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: spend on what just happened before you look forward to

127
00:05:58,120 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 1: what's next?

128
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 2: Well, I think you have to. You have to spend

129
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:02,600
Speaker 2: the time on it. And so we come in in

130
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 2: the mornings and we have a team meeting where where

131
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,279
Speaker 2: I addressed the team and where things you know, from

132
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 2: my perspective, and then everybody goes offense and defense and

133
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 2: special teams and they all watch the tape together and

134
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,160
Speaker 2: correct the mistakes, highlight the things that need to be better,

135
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 2: still talk about the things that that are good and

136
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 2: are going well. But you have to be critical. And

137
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 2: I think the best thing to that I've ever been

138
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,840
Speaker 2: told is everyone owns a mirror, right, you know, everyone,

139
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 2: Everyone has the ability to look at themselves first and

140
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 2: see where they can personally do a job better, and

141
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,599
Speaker 2: then have some humility to it and understand that we're

142
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 2: all trying to do the same thing, which is put

143
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 2: ourselves in position to win a game. And that's the process.

144
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,040
Speaker 2: And again, the same process applies for when you win,

145
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:46,840
Speaker 2: you do it the same way that I think there's

146
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 2: consistency in how you approach it. Unfortunately, we've lost enough

147
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 2: games now where that's not you know, it's been a

148
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,280
Speaker 2: lot of that critique. But even when you win, you

149
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 2: do it the same way. And because even in wins,

150
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 2: there's any of the things that need to be corrected

151
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 2: that because you won, maybe don't get highlighted in the

152
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,119
Speaker 2: same manner, and so you just you try to correct

153
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 2: those things. Still.

154
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 1: Give us an example of when you were coaching a

155
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 1: certain quarterback named Peyton Manning and you're going on to

156
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 1: win a super Bowl. It's the same thing, like you were.

157
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 1: He's being critical of himself. You're calling out what needs

158
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: to be improved, even as you're the best team in

159
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 1: the NFL.

160
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 2: Exactly right, And that's how the process should go. If

161
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 2: you're if you're winning games and glossing over it and

162
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 2: patting each other on the back, you're not doing your job.

163
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 2: You're not doing your job as a coach or a player,

164
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 2: because we're all striving for the same thing, which is

165
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 2: to play as good as we can possibly play. And

166
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 2: if you don't look critically at your performance in a

167
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 2: win or a loss, and if you if you look

168
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 2: very critically in a performance and a loss, and then

169
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 2: you don't look at it the same way when you win,

170
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 2: you're doing yourself a disservice and that ultimately will catch

171
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 2: up with you at some point, because again, there's just

172
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 2: as many things in a win that come up that

173
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 2: you have to address that doing a loss. They just

174
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 2: feel different because you on but usually the margin of

175
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 2: error in this league is so small that it's only

176
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 2: a couple of things that are the difference between a

177
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 2: win and a loss, and you still have to hammer

178
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 2: those things with the same intent to get better. And

179
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 2: that's the way the good teams do it.

180
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: Okay. And so after you go through that process, when

181
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 1: do you address the entire team about the Houston Texans

182
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 1: and or the next opponent?

183
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 2: Usually by Wednesday morning, Okay, we get we get to

184
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,239
Speaker 2: get through today. We put all of our our energy

185
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 2: and effort into putting this game to bed and making

186
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 2: sure that we've you know, crossed our crossed our tees

187
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,680
Speaker 2: and dotted our eyes and and everything is is buttoned

188
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 2: up from the game and where we need to go

189
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 2: forward and h Then the players they're out of the building,

190
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 2: and then this afternoon is when we start as a

191
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 2: staff on Houston.

192
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 4: Uh.

193
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:45,839
Speaker 2: And then we go all day tomorrow on Houston. So

194
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 2: then by the time Wednesday rolls around when they come

195
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 2: back in the building, the plan is in place. And

196
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 2: then you present that plan Wednesday morning and you start

197
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 2: talking about how we're going to win the game and

198
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 2: what we need to do. Because every week is new,

199
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 2: and every week is different, and every time that you

200
00:08:57,880 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 2: go into a game planning process, it's going to require

201
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 2: something different because they have different strengths and different schemes.

202
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:04,599
Speaker 2: And then you play each week, so every week is

203
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 2: a different week, and it allows us to make sure

204
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 2: that plan is very clearly communicated to the players on Wednesday,

205
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 2: and we go about practicing that plan for the next

206
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 2: handful of days. And you know, base downs is usually

207
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 2: on Wednesday, and then you get into the third down

208
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 2: and pressure pickups and pressure packages on Thursday, and then

209
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 2: you get to the red zone on Friday and some

210
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 2: of your best special situations and you're good to go.

211
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 1: It feels like Thursday is a pretty tough day here

212
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 1: and you're with the plan that you use. Is that

213
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 1: standard across the league or is it kind of just

214
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 1: depend on each situation.

215
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,439
Speaker 2: I think it depends. One of the things that I've

216
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 2: always believed in through the years is that Wednesday, guys

217
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 2: are still coming off the game. You know, they're still

218
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 2: pretty sore, they're still feeling it. So you try to

219
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 2: be a little bit higher mental stress on Wednesday, a

220
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 2: little bit less physical stress, and then Thursdays is a workday.

221
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,079
Speaker 2: We can put the pads on as long as we're

222
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 2: allowed to, and you get after it, and that's that's

223
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 2: your third down pressures, that's your protection day. You need

224
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 2: that padded work and the pass protection and you still

225
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 2: get some base run and all that stuff that you

226
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 2: need on both sides. So that's just how we've done it.

227
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 2: Sort of a ramp in big day Thursday, fast feel

228
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 2: good Friday, where you're kind of on the field, quick

229
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,559
Speaker 2: and out, and I've generally found that to be the

230
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:19,680
Speaker 2: most productive.

231
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:24,199
Speaker 1: We're going inside for quite a while, playing the Houston

232
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 1: Texans this week, sight of where you beat the Houston

233
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 1: Texans last year, and then you play the Arizona Cardinals

234
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 1: inside in Glendale, Arizona, and then play the Las Vegas

235
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 1: Raiders inside in Las Vegas. Any any thought to what's

236
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 1: ahead and that or is it just sort of a

237
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:41,839
Speaker 1: week by week thing?

238
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 2: Still pretty much week by week? You know, obviously we

239
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 2: got to hit the road for three day weeks, and

240
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 2: I think we're prepared to do that. That was part

241
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:49,599
Speaker 2: of what we tried to do in training camp to

242
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 2: just get comfortable being on the road and playing in

243
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 2: new environments and then the surfaces sometimes matter a little bit,

244
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:00,680
Speaker 2: but there's really not much that you change, you know.

245
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 2: I don't I prefer not to practice on turf during

246
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 2: the week as much as we can. I like being outside,

247
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 2: like being on the grass. But I think we might

248
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:10,680
Speaker 2: actually get some weather this week from what I understand,

249
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,319
Speaker 2: so we may be inside, and that that does help

250
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 2: to practice inside occasionally as a change up. But you know,

251
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 2: end of the day, there's still still the football field

252
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 2: and it's a one hundred yards long and fitted three

253
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 2: yards wide, and then you go play. And but the

254
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 2: nice thing is you don't have to worry about whether

255
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 2: there's no wind or or or weather factors you got

256
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:31,320
Speaker 2: to worry about. You know, you're going to be inside.

257
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 2: And I think one year when I was in Detroit,

258
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 2: I think we played I think we played like fourteen

259
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 2: games indoors or something like that, you know, just because

260
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 2: we were into stadium and anyway, sometimes that works out.

261
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:44,440
Speaker 2: So you just get used to playing with no weather

262
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,439
Speaker 2: factor and it's kind of a nice one less thing

263
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 2: to have to factor in.

264
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,200
Speaker 1: Last year, when you beat the Texans coach in Houston,

265
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: Chigakonquo had a huge seventy yard touchdown catch Calvin made

266
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 1: a bunch of big catches in that game, and Tony

267
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,679
Speaker 1: Pollard ran for over one hundred yards. I know that's

268
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 1: something you'd love to see.

269
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is still you know, I know they're they're

270
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 2: they're kind of in the same boat we are where

271
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,320
Speaker 2: they've they've struggled some and then win lost column. They're

272
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 2: owing three, but you they are still very very good

273
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 2: on defense. I know they're probably trying to find some

274
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:20,079
Speaker 2: more rhythm offensively, but you know, people aren't scoring a

275
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 2: lot of points on these guys, and and that's that's

276
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 2: where their their talent is all over the field on

277
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 2: defense and all three levels. Uh So we got we

278
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 2: gotta be ready to roll and then running the ball

279
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 2: is a part of controlling the edge. It's part of

280
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 2: understanding and possessing the football. So those are all things

281
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 2: they are going to factor into it. And we played

282
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 2: well and went down there last year. We're gonna need

283
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 2: to do it again.

284
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: The defense that you just referenced for the Houston Texans,

285
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 1: as you said they are, they're owing three and they're

286
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: looking for more offensive consistency. But it appears the last

287
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 1: few years as they won the division two years ago

288
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:56,960
Speaker 1: and last year and into this year, they have one

289
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 1: of the better defenses in the game.

290
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 2: Why is that they have great talent. Their edge rushers

291
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,440
Speaker 2: are are to the best in football. I think that

292
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:08,719
Speaker 2: Stingley's is good at cover corner. That's that's out there

293
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,680
Speaker 2: in the league. I think their safeties play really good football.

294
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 2: I think Peatrits a really good player. Disease is a

295
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 2: really good linebacker. They're just they got players sort of

296
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 2: at every level that that can operate. And they've invested

297
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:26,679
Speaker 2: a lot of draft capital and money into that defense too,

298
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 2: and it shows that's a really really talented and and

299
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 2: well coached. I think, Demiko, you know, that system that

300
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 2: they run is very well executed by the guys that

301
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 2: they have, and they do a really nice job. So

302
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 2: we got our hands full. We've always had our hands

303
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 2: full with that group, and they're a good and another

304
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 2: divisional team that we got to go try to get

305
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 2: a win.

306
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 4: Home is at the forefront of all we do.

307
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 3: It's why we're so committed to caring for the places

308
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 3: and spaces in which we work and live. Ashley, the

00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 1: All right, one last thing may be a fun question

326
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 1: at the end, But one last thing about football that

327
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 1: everybody concentrates on the offense and the defense, but special

328
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 1: teams is winning and losing these games the National Football League.

329
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 1: I'm sure you caught the end of the or saw

330
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 1: a highlight of the Eagles and Rams and how that

331
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 1: game finished with the Eagles blocking a Rams kick and

332
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:04,479
Speaker 1: taking it in for a touchdown that saw it in

333
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 1: the in the Chiefs Giants game on an extra point

334
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 1: the Titans had a blocked extra point against the Rams.

335
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 1: Just how critical is special teams and making a big

336
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 1: play in it that can change the game.

337
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 2: I mean, they're a third of the football game. You know,

338
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 2: there's a three phases and there's a reason for that,

339
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 2: and there's a lot of plays on special teams that

340
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 2: are there to be made. And if you can change

341
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 2: the game on special teams, it certainly alleviates the pressure

342
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 2: on offense and defense. If you can flip the field

343
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 2: and keep the hitting yardage in your favor and you

344
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 2: can make people start and drive the long ways and

345
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 2: you can make up yards in the return game, it's

346
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 2: a huge advantage and we have a huge advantage and

347
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 2: we got a really strong leagd kicker, so we've been

348
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 2: able to hit some field goals for some long distances

349
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 2: as part of you know, the reason why you try

350
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 2: to kick from where you kick and because you can

351
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 2: hit them, and he's shown he can. He's accurate from

352
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 2: that spot too, and those are weapons. I think Johnny

353
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 2: Hecker's punting as good as anybody in football right now

354
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 2: with his hangtime and distance and direction, and that's all

355
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 2: been really critical to putting ourselves in the field position

356
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 2: game in great spots and they've they've really performed well.

357
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, Jim DK obviously in the return game as well,

358
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 1: has been a huge weapon for you and had a

359
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 1: couple of good returns again this past week. Now I

360
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 1: realize that you're only focusing on football right now. It

361
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 1: is taking all of your life, but it is, let's

362
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 1: say twenty thirty years from now, you have some free time.

363
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 1: Is there a bucket list item? Because the Ryder Cup

364
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 1: is this week and I know you love golf.

365
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 2: I do Is there be up there? Yeah? Yeah, I

366
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 2: mean definitely, that would be something that would be pretty

367
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 2: cool to go take part. And that's a really phenomenal

368
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 2: competition and some of the best golfers in the world competing.

369
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 2: Is it's awesome. I think it's a great sport.

370
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 1: Were you a basketball or baseball guy?

371
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've never been to I've never been to a

372
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 2: World Series. I think that would be really enjoyable. You know,

373
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 2: October baseball is It's kind of what makes baseball fun

374
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 2: is those Pennant races and I've never got a chance

375
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 2: to do that much obviously, is go see that? That

376
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:04,879
Speaker 2: would be really cool And I think there's some college

377
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 2: stadiums and environments have never been to that would be

378
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:10,119
Speaker 2: fun to go take in as a fan. You know,

379
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 2: baton Rouge at night. You know, just there's just playing

380
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 2: into some SEC games. I've never been down to Knoxville

381
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:18,360
Speaker 2: for a game. That seems like a hell of an environment.

382
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 2: So yeah, there's definitely things that you know, when I'm

383
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 2: all said and done coaching and I got some free time,

384
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:25,679
Speaker 2: my wife and I maybe go do something cool like

385
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:27,360
Speaker 2: that and go see a Ryder Cup.

386
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 1: It'd be great to have you there for that, coach.

387
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 1: The most important thing to beating the Houston Texans on Sunday.

388
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,199
Speaker 1: Before I show you a little video of the Americans

389
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:39,919
Speaker 1: beating the Europeans at about four or five o'clock, what

390
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 1: is it on Sunday.

391
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 2: It's always going to start with we still have to

392
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 2: put ourselves in a good position in the past protection

393
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 2: game against their front. They do a really good job

394
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,440
Speaker 2: of disrupting your timing as an offense and putting you

395
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 2: in long yards situation. So our our ability to manage

396
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:57,639
Speaker 2: that it's going to be critical. And then on on

397
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,360
Speaker 2: defense is it's a team that ultimately wants to run

398
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,920
Speaker 2: the football. They haven't had the success that they've maybe

399
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 2: had the last couple of years, but you got to

400
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:05,359
Speaker 2: keep it that way. You don't want to be the

401
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 2: team that they start getting the hot on, and so

402
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:10,160
Speaker 2: we got to do again a great job, but both

403
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:11,680
Speaker 2: lines of scrimmage are going to be critical.

404
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:13,920
Speaker 1: Let's have a great week. Coach, thank you so much
