1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,680
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you about Jonathan Jones in particular

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:06,640
Speaker 1: as someone that Devin mccordy talked about after the game

3
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:10,399
Speaker 1: on Sunday, noting that he plays he's played a lot

4
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:13,080
Speaker 1: of different roles for this team, and he's played some safety.

5
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:16,159
Speaker 1: Mike was on the conference called Last Repelling, you know,

6
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:21,640
Speaker 1: and he talked about everybody's in the same room cornerbacks safeties.

7
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 1: How important is it that your defensive backs are together

8
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 1: and that's separated when you guys go through the game,

9
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 1: video game film, when you meet in your position groups

10
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 1: and the ability of different players to cross over from

11
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 1: cornerback to safety. Does that help to, you know, foster

12
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:47,319
Speaker 1: that versatility and the way you guys have things set

13
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 1: up there, And just with Jonathan specifically, what can you

14
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: say about his development is becoming a more versatile defender? Yeah,

15
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I think john always has had a lot

16
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: of versatility with an ourf we're just asking him to

17
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: do a little bit more this year, and he's handled

18
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 1: of all a really well. He's a really smart kid.

19
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 1: He's a tough kid. He works really hard, so that

20
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 1: stuff hasn't really been a problem for him. And in

21
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 1: terms of the meeting um we uh me and Mike

22
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 1: just felt like the best thing to do this year

23
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,680
Speaker 1: with this group was to was to meet as a unit.

24
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 1: UM had a lot of guys in different roles. There's

25
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 1: a lot of crossover coaching points from player to player.

26
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 1: It's not UM as specific as it was in the past,

27
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: so there's a lot of a lot of different things

28
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 1: those guys are eating asked to do. So the coaching

29
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: points relate to everybody in the room, not just one

30
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,039
Speaker 1: or two guys specifically. So UM, we just felt that

31
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: that's the best thing for the team is to put

32
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: every everybody in one room and try and try and

33
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 1: make sure we get everybody on the same page. Communication

34
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 1: is it all starts with communication, getting the call I'm

35
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 1: getting lined up, So UM, without good communication, we won't

36
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: really even give ourselves a chance. So UM it all

37
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: starts there. And then, like you said, John's ability to

38
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: handle versatile roles and um that's urquody on the defense.

39
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 1: They all play off each other, they all do different things,

40
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: So we just try and keep it basic and keep

41
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 1: it as simple as we can for everybody so we

42
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 1: can maximize everybody's abilities. Appreciate it. Thanks to YEA thank you.

43
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 1: Next question Nickomalley, followed by Mark Daniels. Morning to you, Hey,

44
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: good morning. How are you? I want to ask about

45
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: defective back play versus mobile quarterback, especially with the team

46
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 1: with receivers talented as DeAndre Hopkins and fast as Will Filler,

47
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: Will Fuller. How do you coach get your players ready

48
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 1: when you're in a spot The player will be in

49
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 1: a spot where they have to turn around and run

50
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: down field of Frank Goss and going deep. But every

51
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: now and then there's a quarterback like Lamar Jackson or

52
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 1: walking for the tactics, I'll take off and run. How

53
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 1: do they avoid getting too deep in a spot where

54
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 1: to turn around and not at the quarterback who's taken

55
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 1: off down the field, And how do they adjust when

56
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 1: that sort of play happens. That's a good question. M

57
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: You know, it's hard. All those scramble plays and extended

58
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 1: plays are a little bit different. Um Sometimes, you know,

59
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: the quarterback gets more depth in the pocket and works

60
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: backwards instead of kind of favoring a side of the

61
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: field and working scrambling out towards the sidelines. So that

62
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: and for different quarterbacks, they can cut the fuel off

63
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 1: where they really are only looking the throat to the

64
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: side that they're scrambling too. We put against othern quarterbacks

65
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: walls to blow the ball across the field back across

66
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: their body, So you got to defend the whole field.

67
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: And for those coverage players, it's just it's about instincts.

68
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: You know, it's tough to always coach the right thing

69
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 1: on those plays or tell them what to do beforehand,

70
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 1: like you should do this when this happens, you should

71
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: do that when this happens. Just because those plays are

72
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 1: loose plays and you know their offense doesn't really draw

73
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 1: those up. They just kind of happened as the play

74
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: plays out. So got a really on the players and

75
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: instincts making the right decision. Um, not coming out of

76
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 1: coverage making sure you walk on your guy. Um. It

77
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 1: obviously has a whole other element to it. Like you said,

78
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: with these Daniels, receivers m being able to get open.

79
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 1: I mean, even if you're covering Hopkins, he's still he's

80
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: still open because of his strong hands and catch radios. So, um,

81
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: it's a huge challenge. Some quarterbacks scrambled to throw, some

82
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: quarterbacks scramble to run. UM. It could depend on if

83
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: they're space and all of the defense to run. So

84
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: there's so many different elements to those scramble plays. They're

85
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 1: so tough to defend. But really it's all on those

86
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 1: players to trust their instincts and just do the best

87
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,479
Speaker 1: they can. On those players, they're tough to coach because

88
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: as soon as he's tell them to do one thing

89
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 1: and something else could happen. So, um, you really just

90
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 1: rely on the players in those plays. Thanks, Seedy. How

91
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 1: are you doing? Next? Question Mark Daniels, followed by Mike.

92
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 1: It's Steve. How's it going good? How are you good? Thanks?

93
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: I want to ask you about stuff on Gilmore. When

94
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 1: you see him make plays like he did against Dallas

95
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 1: with the interception, how much of that it goes back

96
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 1: to his work off the field with his film study

97
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,600
Speaker 1: and in regards to those you know study habits. Just

98
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,039
Speaker 1: what have you noticed from him, you know, this year

99
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 1: and you know since he's been in New England. Um, yeah,

100
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 1: I mean stiff. He keeps getting more and more comfortable

101
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 1: the more time he spends here. He's always put in

102
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 1: a ton of extra work, extra film study, off the

103
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 1: field corporation to give himself a good, good chance to

104
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: make plays on the field on Sundays. So I've always

105
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 1: been impressed with how diligent he is as am off

106
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: the field worker. And uh, it's just it's always translated

107
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,280
Speaker 1: to Sundays from him this year, and um, he puts

108
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 1: in the work during the week. He practices hard. He

109
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: doesn't take any days off. Zoe's out there. So I'm

110
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: really not surprised by success because it's how much hard

111
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: work he puts in. Um, it's good to see it

112
00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: coming to him. As follow with a different question, when

113
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 1: you look at the text and the offense, do you

114
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,919
Speaker 1: see similarities in their scheme, you know, compared to what

115
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 1: you guys see in practice every day, just because it's

116
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 1: you know Bill Brien and where he came from. Um no,

117
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 1: I mean every offense is really different. Um, different players,

118
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 1: different scheme. Um. I mean there's a lot of good

119
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:22,480
Speaker 1: coaches in the NFL, so they utilize their players differently. UM.

120
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 1: I mean, football's football. It's not it's not like every

121
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 1: week you're preparing for for a whole new game. Um

122
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 1: football football. They got a runner for the ball, so UM,

123
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 1: I mean plays carry over from week to week. But

124
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 1: um no, I haven't really spend much time comparing their

125
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: offense to our offense. I mean, they're like I said,

126
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,039
Speaker 1: there are some similar to carry over every week, but

127
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 1: these guys they present a lot of different challenges. Um

128
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,159
Speaker 1: haven't prepared for our offense and a couple of months

129
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 1: here so I haven't talked too much about that, but

130
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 1: these guys have plenty of challenges running game tasking and quarterback. Um,

131
00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:04,239
Speaker 1: they're pretty dangerous. So thank you will do a frontal

132
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 1: question like right, thanks seeing him, Steve. I was thinking

133
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 1: about that play that Devin mccordy made on someday where

134
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 1: he sort of was running up to your sideline that

135
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: chased down Cobb and sort of knocked the ball free.

136
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: And as I watched, As I watched the play, you know,

137
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 1: I was thinking to myself, like, this is tense here.

138
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 1: It was almost like I was thinking to myself getting faster?

139
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 1: You know? Is he getting better even as the years

140
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 1: go on? And I just sort of wanted to ask

141
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 1: me like, is do you see that from him? Like

142
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 1: is he getting better or is it more at this

143
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 1: point in his career, is he sustaining What does that

144
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: play sort of reflect I guess from Devin where he

145
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: is right now? Um, I guess for me is that

146
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: that nothing's really changed. People have questioned Devin slowed down,

147
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: said the same thing last year, but those questions were

148
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 1: one away after he you know, clocked highest speed in

149
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 1: the NFL carrying the ball last year. So I mean,

150
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 1: Devin skied never really surprised me. I'd say it would

151
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 1: surprise me. It's just how fast he really is. Um,

152
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: he's always been able to turn it on when he

153
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 1: needs it. Um, that was a really good play being

154
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 1: able to run down Cob and just the INDs thing.

155
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 1: So the ball awardness, Um, you know, it's unfortunately giving

156
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 1: up a big play. But he said he made a

157
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 1: bad play, not a worst play. So I'm really not

158
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: not surprised when he makes plays like that, just because

159
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 1: that's that's who Devin is. And um, yeah, I'm not

160
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,079
Speaker 1: really waiting for him to slow down either. So you

161
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 1: can keep it going. Thank you, Yeah, thank you
