1 00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,920 Speaker 1: When there's something you guys did differently than allowed uh. 2 00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:06,960 Speaker 1: Eli that kind of at the game maybe his best 3 00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:12,000 Speaker 1: game of the season. I think just everybody, um I 4 00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:15,240 Speaker 1: just did their job better. I think the buye UH 5 00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:17,919 Speaker 1: helped us just kind of catch our breath, UM, go 6 00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:20,000 Speaker 1: back and take a look at the things that we're doing. 7 00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:25,439 Speaker 1: Guys just kind of UM, maybe haven spent a little 8 00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:29,920 Speaker 1: more time watching ourselves or each guy watching himself, UM, 9 00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:32,239 Speaker 1: technique wise and how to do things better. And I 10 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:36,000 Speaker 1: think because of that, UM, everybody played better and h 11 00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:38,159 Speaker 1: including Eli. There was a lot of talk about the 12 00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:40,320 Speaker 1: line has at best game as well. I think that 13 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:42,800 Speaker 1: was the fifth game where you debuted a new combination 14 00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:46,560 Speaker 1: up from do you feel like with this current line, 15 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,200 Speaker 1: if you have a chance to finally built some continuity. Well, 16 00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:51,400 Speaker 1: we'd hope to every week, you know, you know, play 17 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:53,960 Speaker 1: with the same guys UM. But for sure, I think 18 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:55,560 Speaker 1: probably one of the best things we did was past 19 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 1: protect UM. Now, that was one game the guys did 20 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 1: a really good job of of UH in all the 21 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 1: downard distances and against some pressure as well. And I 22 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,480 Speaker 1: think it goes back to not just them, but you know, 23 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 1: getting the ball out on time. Guys getting open on time, 24 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 1: things like that. So, but the continuity is important and 25 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 1: hopefully we can, um, you know, have some similar results 26 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,000 Speaker 1: this week and with the same guys. Why do you 27 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:22,440 Speaker 1: think that was? Where do you think you were so 28 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 1: much better pass protecting and they have some pretty good rushers. Yeah. Yeah, 29 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,360 Speaker 1: I think guys just really, like I said, they you know, 30 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:29,840 Speaker 1: I had a chance to go back and look at 31 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 1: what we were doing and what each guy was doing, 32 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:35,960 Speaker 1: and um, you know, I think we practiced really well. Uh, 33 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 1: and guys just really made it a point that not 34 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 1: that they hadn't been doing it before, but hey, we're 35 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:43,039 Speaker 1: gonna you know, I'm not gonna let my guy get 36 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 1: to the quarterback and I'm gonna get the ball out 37 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 1: on time, and I'm gonna get open on time, and um, 38 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 1: you know, we're gonna make sure what if the backs 39 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,320 Speaker 1: are protected, I'm gonna get my guy and things like that. 40 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 1: So I think it was a combination of all those things. 41 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,440 Speaker 1: When you look at the bucks, is JPP pretty much 42 00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 1: staying on one side or are they moving him or what? Yes, Uh, 43 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 1: the minute you think he's just kind of staying on 44 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 1: your left side, then they move him. They do a 45 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 1: good job of of moving moving him around, um and 46 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:12,959 Speaker 1: on on first and second down, not just on third 47 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 1: down and on third down, you know even more so. 48 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 1: So they've got some good combinations with some really good 49 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:23,240 Speaker 1: pass rushers, especially when he McCoy on the same side. UM. 50 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:24,960 Speaker 1: So we we you know, we've got our hands full 51 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 1: right with those guys rushing the pass her. And you know, 52 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:29,959 Speaker 1: it kind of gets back to each and every week. 53 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,079 Speaker 1: You know, obviously you want to stay out of third 54 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 1: and long uh and hopefully not have too many third downs, 55 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 1: hopefully make some things happen on first and second down 56 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 1: where um, you know you're not waiting for every third 57 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 1: place it's a third down. You guys used more heavy 58 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:51,119 Speaker 1: personnelity more you like Penny and think more red Ellison, 59 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,080 Speaker 1: what was that part of the self analysis from the 60 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 1: buy Maybe some of you guys who used going forward 61 00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,160 Speaker 1: more of that kind of personnel. I think we, um, 62 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,520 Speaker 1: we look at that every week and just see how 63 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:06,079 Speaker 1: what the best plan of attack is. But I think overall, yes, 64 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:07,639 Speaker 1: I think it's but you want to you want to 65 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 1: have a mix, I think for a little for you know, 66 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 1: a few reasons, you don't want to just have somebody 67 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:17,080 Speaker 1: look at you and be one personnel grouping. UM. And 68 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 1: then as guys are getting used to our system, you know, 69 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,519 Speaker 1: Elis is getting in and getting used to what we're 70 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:27,079 Speaker 1: doing more familiar, and we're being able to do more 71 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 1: things with him and not just kind of have him 72 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 1: as a lead blocker. So that helps. Now you're not 73 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 1: just doing certain things when he's in the game. UM. 74 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 1: And you know, again, I think the more you can 75 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 1: do that with different personnel groupings, I think the more 76 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 1: things defensive defenses have to think about about. Was probably 77 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 1: this baggage. Yeah. I just think he's come in every 78 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 1: day and wanting to learn. He's got a smile on 79 00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 1: his face. Um, we'll do anything you ask him to do. Um, 80 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 1: he's uh, you know, he's been in a few systems, 81 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 1: so obviously it's it's um. You know sometimes when that happens, 82 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 1: sometimes you you kind of think back, Okay, well we 83 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,119 Speaker 1: did it like this, and all of a sudden, we're 84 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 1: doing we're saying the same thing, but I mean it's 85 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 1: totally opposite to him. So those are the things that UM, 86 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:22,040 Speaker 1: as time goes on, he'll continue to um uh learn 87 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 1: and feel more comfortable with what we're doing. But you know, 88 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 1: as we know and you guys know, he's he's very talented. 89 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:31,599 Speaker 1: He's fast, Um we saw that with his in the 90 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 1: return game. But he's got good hands, and I think 91 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 1: the biggest thing now is just to kind of put 92 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,160 Speaker 1: him in situations that he's comfortable with, not give him 93 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,719 Speaker 1: too much too soon, and then just see how he grows. 94 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 1: Unless he as far as taking the yards there there 95 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 1: as opposed to trying to make something out big. But yeah, 96 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,839 Speaker 1: well I think that, um, you know, I think every 97 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:59,040 Speaker 1: uh um running back in the league is um, you know, 98 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 1: it gets better or with experience, especially young guys. I 99 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 1: think that, uh, you know, he's very physical, and I 100 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,840 Speaker 1: think he showed that on some runs. Um. I think 101 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 1: there might have been one or two where maybe he 102 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 1: could have continued to kind of push it up in 103 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,479 Speaker 1: there instead of cut it back. But um, the minute 104 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 1: you say that and say hey, just hit it up 105 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 1: in there, and all of a sudden he cuts one 106 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 1: back for twenty five yards and then say hey, great run. 107 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,359 Speaker 1: So um, but I think it's I think he's going 108 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,480 Speaker 1: to continue to feel more comfortable with what he's doing 109 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,480 Speaker 1: with with more reps and the good news was that 110 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,720 Speaker 1: we were able to make some first down to stay 111 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 1: at a second and second long and third and long 112 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 1: and and stay on the field and give him more carries. 113 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 1: Whether it's whether it's some of the games you guys 114 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:45,480 Speaker 1: have been trailing and scored late, or the Texans game. 115 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 1: In this league, Eli has kind of been his best 116 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 1: when you guys are playing with some tempo there at 117 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 1: the end of some no huddle rushing. Uh, is it 118 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,599 Speaker 1: something you got to implement more in the first three 119 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,360 Speaker 1: quarters of a game. Yeah, that's a good question. I 120 00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 1: think that we look at that each and every week, 121 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 1: and um, I think there's times that I think it's 122 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 1: we always want to be ready to do that. You know, 123 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,280 Speaker 1: we want to have that ready for coach Herman at 124 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: any point to do that early in the game. And um, 125 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 1: we have been good at Unfortunately we've had a little 126 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,279 Speaker 1: bit too much of it at the end of games 127 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 1: when um, when when we've had to do it as 128 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 1: opposed to when we want to do it. I think 129 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:17,839 Speaker 1: that's the most important thing. But you know, we've got 130 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 1: a quarter. We got Eli with a lot of experience. 131 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,840 Speaker 1: It's got a fast mind and gets everybody lined up 132 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 1: in position and makes quick decisions, so that was good 133 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 1: to see. And um, you know, we want to uh, 134 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:30,359 Speaker 1: whether or not we do it or not do it. 135 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,720 Speaker 1: We want to have the ability of when we are 136 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,839 Speaker 1: called upon to do it, to to be successful and 137 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:37,679 Speaker 1: and uh, you know, keep the ball moving.
