What stood out from rewatching the tape? And 5 00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:17,480 Speaker 1: and yeah there was there was a lot of good feedback, UM, 6 00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:18,959 Speaker 1: A lot of stuff that you can look at and 7 00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:22,200 Speaker 1: here is improve of improvement that we're focusing on right now. 8 00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:24,640 Speaker 1: UM in the run game, the past game. We look 9 00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:26,479 Speaker 1: at some of the things we did well, trying to 10 00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:28,160 Speaker 1: build on that, look at some of the things that 11 00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,920 Speaker 1: UM may have you know, knock on as well, and 12 00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:34,519 Speaker 1: and and trying to fix those, make those corrections and 13 00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:38,680 Speaker 1: and apply to practice this week. Mike, Obviously there's opportunity 14 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:42,519 Speaker 1: in your receiver corps. How has Isaiah Hodgens kind of 15 00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:44,440 Speaker 1: sees that and become a guy you look for in 16 00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:46,600 Speaker 1: the red zone? Asia has done a really nice job 17 00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:49,400 Speaker 1: not only in the red zone but being a factor 18 00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,440 Speaker 1: on third down, first second down. He's a he's a 19 00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,120 Speaker 1: really good block, he's a tough kid. So's he's done 20 00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,160 Speaker 1: great job. He's done everything we've asked at him. The 21 00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:01,200 Speaker 1: possibility you guys might see chasing on this weekend. How 22 00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 1: much does that change how you been pershing it? Yeah, 23 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:05,760 Speaker 1: it's it's an opportunity for them to add a really 24 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,959 Speaker 1: good player to their defense. So we'll have to prep 25 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,440 Speaker 1: prep forum and UM and account forum and both the 26 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 1: wrong past get and really even in situational um the 27 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:19,800 Speaker 1: positions down red zone, short yardage, so um, you know, 28 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 1: we have to make sure we take care of and 29 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 1: in prep for the whole entire front as well. Yeah, 30 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 1: how's how far those defensive tackles to prepare for it? Yeah? 31 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 1: They do a really nice job. They're aggressive, they're violent. Um, 32 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,480 Speaker 1: they get up field and and they play almost every 33 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 1: every snap. You know, they never come off the field. 34 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,959 Speaker 1: So it's gonna be a great challenge for us in retrospect. 35 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:44,959 Speaker 1: How much was sa kwon limited last week for you guys? Um, 36 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 1: I never thought of it that way. Not. Quan came 37 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,000 Speaker 1: ready to play and we played him as we saw fit, 38 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 1: so you didn't have to change anything for him outside 39 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 1: from Mike. I guess you went with Gary. I guess 40 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,440 Speaker 1: for like a driver or two there. Yeah, we mixed 41 00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 1: Garry in Gearyan. I've been breed in there. And when 42 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 1: we mix those guys in there, they did miss you? 43 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 1: Is there any I should I'm not even gonna say concerned, 44 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,920 Speaker 1: but um, how much do you pay attention to the 45 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 1: amount that you've used him this year? Is that something 46 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 1: you look at as a whole? Do you look at 47 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:19,119 Speaker 1: it specifically within games of whether you know it could 48 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 1: be too much on a running back you know? Um, 49 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 1: the way the way we use really all our players, 50 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:27,520 Speaker 1: try and put them in the best positions to be 51 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:31,080 Speaker 1: successful and use them to their strengths. Um, you know, 52 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,080 Speaker 1: put them in positions where if the if there's something 53 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 1: that's maybe a little bit of a weakness, trying to 54 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 1: keep out of those situations. So we try to use, 55 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 1: say Kwanu the best of his assets. The offensive line 56 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 1: of his injuries hindered you guys. Uh, and it seems 57 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,640 Speaker 1: like you might be back to the point where where 58 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:56,519 Speaker 1: when you started six and one same five starters there, Um, 59 00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 1: how much has that been problem? I think we've done 60 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 1: a really nice job. The guys have gone in there 61 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:04,680 Speaker 1: and the next amount of mentality coming in playing tough, um, 62 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 1: you know, working to get our assignments right and and 63 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 1: and sticking together. I think that's one right spot that 64 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 1: we look at from that online and really when you 65 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 1: look at all the position groups, you know, guys, I've 66 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 1: had to go through that tight ends receivers. So it's 67 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,640 Speaker 1: been a great, great job our assistant coaches and coaching staff. 68 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,359 Speaker 1: Again those guys lined up. What do you see how 69 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 1: maybe the wrong game has been a little bit more 70 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 1: limited in the last few weeks. How much did that 71 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:29,919 Speaker 1: do you feel as other teams scouting you guys, having 72 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:31,359 Speaker 1: seen plenty of you in the first couple of weeks, 73 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 1: and how much it is just execution on your own part? Yeah, 74 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 1: we we we look back and you know, we look 75 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 1: at ourselves first. If the execution was right, where the 76 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 1: fundamentals right, was the scheme right? Um, those are all 77 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 1: things that we evaluated in a week to week. So 78 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 1: we take that information we applied to this game plan 79 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 1: and try and get those guys in the right spots 80 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 1: and and and seeing it the way that we see 81 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 1: it from coaching staff. These the immediacy of it offer 82 00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 1: a rare opportunity in this aspect that normal you see 83 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 1: a team, you go into it and then when the 84 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 1: game's over, your review and stuff it's out. We should 85 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 1: have gotten to that quicker we may, you know, we 86 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 1: made the mistake of not putting this in it would 87 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 1: have worked, and then you normally have to wait four weeks. 88 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 1: Who knows how that team is going to look the 89 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 1: fact that this team hasn't taken the field since they 90 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 1: saw you the last time, I would imagine that lends 91 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 1: to what you thought right after the game might still 92 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 1: work here. Is that fair assessments? That's fair? You know, 93 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 1: after we watch the game and review it, kind of 94 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,840 Speaker 1: always go around the staff and talk about things we 95 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 1: would have changed, things we should have in for him 96 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 1: the next time, and kind of build compliments off the 97 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 1: stuff we've shown so that that all goes into it. Absolutely. 98 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:46,360 Speaker 1: My favorite question isn't exactly related to the Washington situation, 99 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 1: but with your quarterback room, how how do you think 100 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 1: that that dynamic? Will you know how that dynamic works 101 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 1: with a really smart, engaging, experienced guy like Tyrod and 102 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 1: I would say a lot of the same things about 103 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 1: Davis Webb, you know, contributing to to you know, I 104 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,039 Speaker 1: don't want to them to use the word helping Daniel, 105 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,479 Speaker 1: but the whole group, and that's sort of the a 106 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 1: spree of court within that group. It's a great it's 107 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 1: a great quarterback room. One of my one of my 108 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:17,279 Speaker 1: favorites being around coaching as a player. They do a 109 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 1: great job communicating. I think they all see the game 110 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 1: in the right way and see it through the same 111 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 1: set of eyes. And coach Tierney does a great job 112 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 1: of organizing them and getting them in the right spots 113 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 1: and communicating well with them. Have practice in the meeting rooms, 114 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 1: and then on game day. Could you see a future 115 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 1: coach down the road from that room. Absolutely. I think 116 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 1: those guys can do really anything they want to UM 117 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:41,159 Speaker 1: as far as football football I Q and do a 118 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 1: great job and m absolutely if they want to get 119 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:45,040 Speaker 1: in the coach, I'm sure they would do a great job. 120 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:50,279 Speaker 1: Washington controlled time with possession and they can typically do Obviously, 121 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 1: you're trying to score when you have the ball, but 122 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 1: are you sometimes trying to also matriculate it kind of 123 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 1: hold the ball to keep your defense off the field 124 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 1: or is that not a concern? It's just called play 125 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 1: is to score. Yeah, you know, there's there's a little 126 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 1: bit of a little bit of both. I think there's 127 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 1: you always want to score every time you touch the football, 128 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 1: but you also gotta understand the flow of the game. Um, 129 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:11,480 Speaker 1: there's never a play call where like, this is a 130 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 1: play is not going to score. That's not the mentality 131 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 1: you have. But um, you know you've gotta be able 132 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 1: to manage the game and call the game that you 133 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 1: see is gonna get the offensive to the most successful. 134 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 1: It was betting gored just that time of year. Yeah, 135 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 1: what what did you feel after that commander's game? And 136 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 1: three kids under six? That's it, there's what did you 137 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 1: feel after that Commander's game? And did it? I feel 138 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 1: like a loss to you? It's not quite like a loss, 139 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 1: but not quite like a win. Uh. And the other 140 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:47,599 Speaker 1: question was your Your entire offense in that game was 141 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 1: four series where you got really you scored on four 142 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,279 Speaker 1: straight possessions and then it seemed like there was a 143 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,719 Speaker 1: faucet to just shut off when you look at those sequences. 144 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 1: What did you see that cause you guys to just 145 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 1: not offense againto overtime? Really? Right? Yeah, you know there's 146 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 1: just a few of those drives that came up. It's 147 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 1: gonna do a better job execution, play calling. I mean, 148 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 1: all those things tying together. And so you know, we 149 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 1: talked about as an offense, we're all on this thing together, 150 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 1: and that we're working our butts off each week, each 151 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 1: day in practice to perfect those fundamentals, perfect those schemes 152 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 1: and those techniques. That way, when you get in those 153 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 1: situations again, we can go and operate like I don't 154 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 1: have more. I don't really have hard numbers to back 155 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 1: this up. This is more of an eye test, but 156 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 1: it seemed like early on you were using multiple halfbacks 157 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 1: together more often than you are, not like sakeon in 158 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 1: packages would create or bright well er on the rare 159 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 1: occasion even all three more often than you are. Now, 160 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 1: is there a reason you've gone away from that? UM? 161 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 1: I don't have the numbers in front of me either, 162 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 1: but I'd say each week is is a little bit different, 163 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 1: Each each team kind of plays, personnel grouping is different. 164 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 1: So we want to make sure that we just have 165 00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 1: our best personnel groupings or best people to do those jobs. 166 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 1: And you know, we evaluated every week. We talked about 167 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 1: it at depth and which guys and which spots and 168 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 1: if it's gonna help us as an offense, score points, 169 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 1: get yards, all those things, get first downs, skip third downs. 170 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 1: So you know, we we really talked about a lot 171 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 1: of that, and you know, not to say that this 172 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 1: week may or may not be like that, but it's 173 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 1: things that we talk about.
