1 00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:04,240 Speaker 1: The uh. I mean, we get back to it every week. 2 00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:09,160 Speaker 1: I feel like the turnovers down, what do you yeah, well, 3 00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:13,760 Speaker 1: I think you know, as we said before, Um, there's 4 00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:16,320 Speaker 1: a couple of different things. You know. First of all, 5 00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:18,439 Speaker 1: we all as an offense got to get the ball 6 00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:20,360 Speaker 1: out faster when we're throwing the ball. That's when you're 7 00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:22,959 Speaker 1: most susceptible to turn the ball overs. When you're throwing 8 00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,200 Speaker 1: the ball, whether or not it's a bad decision or 9 00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:28,720 Speaker 1: a bad throw as an interception or um, you know, 10 00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:31,880 Speaker 1: getting a sack, strip, fumble into pocket. So getting the 11 00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:35,199 Speaker 1: ball out on time. Um. You know, as coaches and 12 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:37,839 Speaker 1: we all have talked about, we worked hard on protecting 13 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:40,400 Speaker 1: the football while we're not throwing it, keeping two hands 14 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:42,760 Speaker 1: on it. Um. But you know the other like the 15 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:46,120 Speaker 1: scramble right before when was it or third quarter, you know, 16 00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:48,960 Speaker 1: trying to make a play, great effort, but you gotta 17 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,320 Speaker 1: secure the ball, you know, and he knows that. UM. 18 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 1: So as we've seen, you know, turnovers, you know, resulting 19 00:00:57,800 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 1: points for other teams, just like we try to get 20 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:05,200 Speaker 1: when when we get the ball, So protect the ball first. Um. 21 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,360 Speaker 1: There's a lot of good things that we're still building on. 22 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:11,160 Speaker 1: We're not there. But you know one thing that can 23 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:13,600 Speaker 1: that's the other thing is when you have turnovers, it 24 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,840 Speaker 1: kind of it's not kind of definitely overshadows a lot 25 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,880 Speaker 1: of the good things that you're doing. So um and 26 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,000 Speaker 1: it and it hurts and trying to win football games. 27 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 1: What are you thinking? You can kind of alluded to it. 28 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 1: You know, Daniel knows that to protect ball and open 29 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,199 Speaker 1: field situation there and you know it's it's a pretty 30 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 1: simple thing from to say from outside just do it. 31 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:34,320 Speaker 1: Um the moment that that thought in his head maybe 32 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,200 Speaker 1: gets Yeah, I think we just you're trying to find 33 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 1: you know, I think it's a lot of a lot 34 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,200 Speaker 1: of things. I think you're you're competitive, You're trying to 35 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:43,960 Speaker 1: find the first down marker to make sure you get 36 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 1: the first down. Then you're trying to figure out how 37 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 1: to fall. And then all of a sudden, you've got 38 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 1: guys that are pretty good, maybe a little bit faster 39 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 1: than what you've seen the last few years in in 40 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 1: your in competition, that can get to the ball quicker 41 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 1: and know how to get the ball out. I've heard 42 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 1: of coaches, you guys walk around the building with the 43 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 1: football and what do you do specifically yeah, well, we 44 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 1: we work, you know, when we're not. The biggest thing 45 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 1: was when you don't. When you're in the pocket, you're 46 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 1: not throwing the ball too, you throw the wall. Keep 47 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,960 Speaker 1: two hands on it, okay, and um, you know obviously 48 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 1: you want to keep it in front, but there's sometimes 49 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 1: you just can't help it. The best way you can 50 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:20,519 Speaker 1: get it where you're not getting ball stripped out is 51 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 1: get the ball out faster, you know. So that's us. 52 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,520 Speaker 1: That's not just a quarterback and that's us. That's you know, 53 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,360 Speaker 1: designing plays where the ball comes out faster, getting open faster, 54 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 1: protecting a little bit longer, getting your reads quicker, all 55 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 1: those things that comes into it. So, um, some years, 56 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 1: in my experience, some years to have that and you 57 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 1: have saxon, you know, you don't have a lot of 58 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 1: you don't have turnovers. Are the years it seems like 59 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 1: every time you get hit the ball comes out, um. 60 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 1: And then other times it's been where the ball comes 61 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 1: out at the same time as it did last year, 62 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 1: but you recover you know, this year, and you know, 63 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 1: and and and the next year. You don't recover any 64 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:55,960 Speaker 1: of them. So you just got to kind of keep 65 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,520 Speaker 1: preaching it and um uh, and then it gets into 66 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 1: and then you when you research it further, you say, hey, 67 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:03,639 Speaker 1: we'll stay out a long yard of situations. That's where 68 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 1: you're most susceptible to it. So all those things come by. 69 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 1: There's nothing mechanically that he does in terms of his 70 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:10,639 Speaker 1: arm going back too far, I think, and it seems 71 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 1: like a lot of those I like his arm, I 72 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 1: like the way throws it. But yeah, no, I know 73 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 1: what you're saying. Where do you think it's been in 74 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 1: such tough sliding for Nate Solders? Seemed like he was 75 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,640 Speaker 1: building some momentum waiting a year last year, playing better 76 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 1: than he started, But um, yeah, well, I think it's 77 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 1: he's kind of again, He's been like a lot of us, 78 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:31,240 Speaker 1: kind of been up and down. I think last last 79 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 1: week was better. You know, Um we had he had 80 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 1: the one late at the end of the game, but um, um, 81 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 1: you know that was tough. Where a two minute mode 82 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 1: and trying to get the ball out quicker. But um, 83 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 1: you know, we just I think you know, he's he 84 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 1: and some other guys, all of us again as coaches 85 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 1: and players, you know, we're just not quite hitting, uh 86 00:03:55,040 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 1: doing all the things. Um right, consistently. UM. And then 87 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 1: when you have one thing go wrong sometimes it just 88 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 1: seems it feels like when you're losing games, it kind 89 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 1: of gets magnified. You just got to kind of fight 90 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 1: through that. UM and again it gets we haven't put 91 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 1: everything together yet, so when we do, we feel like 92 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,159 Speaker 1: he's going to be a big part of that reason 93 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:21,160 Speaker 1: why we do UM because he's as we know, he's 94 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 1: a good football player, he's talented, he's got good experience, 95 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 1: and we just gotta heat and all of us got 96 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 1: to come together a little bit better and more consistently. 97 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,160 Speaker 1: And Daniels over the front you want to see him 98 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:36,919 Speaker 1: do well, will not like that just kind of close 99 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 1: the cushion a little bit quicker, if you know, he's 100 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 1: kind of way out there in space. Um. And then 101 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,359 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, I thought, he could, you know, 102 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:47,720 Speaker 1: go one on one with from about forty yards with 103 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:51,720 Speaker 1: a defensive guy. So but just you can you can 104 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 1: find ways as a quarterback to block and not have 105 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 1: to do it like as a lead blocker with that 106 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 1: much space in between. So we're working on that with 107 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 1: What have you seen from him since he's coming back? Yeah, 108 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 1: I mean similar to I I don't think he's hits 109 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 1: hit his stride yet. Um, but you know he's he's 110 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 1: done a lot of good things and we know he's 111 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 1: a really good back. Um. I think he's part of 112 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 1: that you know, that mix and where where we're just 113 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:21,160 Speaker 1: not quite everybody in stride, you know. Um, he's had 114 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 1: some really good runs where there hasn't been a lot there, 115 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:26,480 Speaker 1: and there's been some other times where I think he 116 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 1: would probably say I can do a better job, you know, 117 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:30,240 Speaker 1: because Line did a good job, I got to do 118 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 1: a better job here there. So I think it's um, 119 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:37,719 Speaker 1: he's getting there. Um and uh, I think just with 120 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,280 Speaker 1: more carries and still he's young, but with more carries 121 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 1: and things like that, he'll continue to get better, get 122 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 1: back into that mindset of like you know, running it 123 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,480 Speaker 1: up in their hard even getting taken into three sometimes 124 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 1: like he mentioned, like a little bit. Yeah, I mean 125 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 1: I'll kind of yeah, I'll kind of defer that to him, 126 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 1: just because I think he's had a few more carries 127 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 1: than I've had. But you know, as far as coaching 128 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 1: those guys that are really good runners coming out in 129 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:00,919 Speaker 1: college and good young runners, I think you kind of 130 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 1: show them, hey, look how you did it here in 131 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 1: the same situation. Now, look how you're doing it there, 132 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:07,719 Speaker 1: Let's get back to doing it this way. Things like that. 133 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:11,600 Speaker 1: UM and I think he's got a good feel for that. Um. 134 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 1: You know, our best game is definitely still out there 135 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,160 Speaker 1: in the run game. And when we get that going, 136 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,799 Speaker 1: I think it's going to help everybody else in regard 137 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:21,480 Speaker 1: to ball security, pass protection and you know, productivity and 138 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:26,720 Speaker 1: points in the passing. Can you find more creative ways 139 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:28,360 Speaker 1: to kind of get involved, mean obviously it's the long 140 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,480 Speaker 1: uh catch a round on the screen, but just moving 141 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 1: him around, like finding ways to kind of use his 142 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,800 Speaker 1: his full skill set. Who are you talking about? Uh, yeah, well, 143 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,159 Speaker 1: I mean there's yeah. I mean we we feel like 144 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 1: we've we've got some some ways to get him the 145 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,160 Speaker 1: ball now, whether or not it's you know, checking them 146 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 1: all down to him on certain plays or getting them 147 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:49,039 Speaker 1: out wide and um or even split them out wide 148 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 1: at times. So we have UM, you know, I think 149 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,160 Speaker 1: we've done some things. Could we do more? Yeah, potentially, 150 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,480 Speaker 1: that means that's but we will we kind of want 151 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:58,279 Speaker 1: to do it within the framework of what we do 152 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 1: um and uh, and do things that he's comfortable with 153 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,560 Speaker 1: doing and Daniel is as well, how much you need 154 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:07,280 Speaker 1: to do it more though you don't have Sterling, you're 155 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 1: not going to have Evan. Yeah, well, I think I 156 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 1: think in general, obviously you want to use, you know, 157 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 1: to use your playmakers. So um, Now, whether or not 158 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 1: I think that that varies week to week on how 159 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 1: you want to do that. UM. For example, with sake Quan, 160 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 1: whether or not you want to you know, keep in 161 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 1: the backfield or um run routes from there or split 162 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 1: him out because he can't do that. UM, I think 163 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 1: it kind of varies. Like in the red zone, do 164 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 1: you think Daniel is like a half second tentative, I'm 165 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 1: letting go with the ball in some of these situations 166 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,240 Speaker 1: later against Detroit there was one in the red zone 167 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 1: against Dallas where he took a hit from the guys 168 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 1: like what was blocking, but threw over threw Benny and 169 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 1: on the side, I wouldn't say, no, I don't know 170 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 1: if I would really agree with that. I do. I 171 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 1: would say just in general, on offense, we were just 172 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 1: a little bit off. We were really really close on 173 00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 1: some things, whether or not it was and we just 174 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 1: need a little bit longer. He had to move into 175 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 1: pocket and uh, just to avoid some pressure and then 176 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,520 Speaker 1: try to get the ball there or the receiver just 177 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 1: come back just a little bit more. I think it 178 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 1: was probably a little bit of everything. Um, And you know, yeah, 179 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 1: that was I mean, you look at that game last 180 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 1: week and between the turnovers and then those opportunities in 181 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 1: the red zone, and that's what we kind of have 182 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 1: to look at. We we Um, Yeah, I mean we 183 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 1: feel bad. We feel like we're nowhere near where we 184 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 1: need and we're not where we need to be. But 185 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 1: you know, you just kind of go into you gotta 186 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 1: you gotta move past it. Um. There's nothing we can 187 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:34,960 Speaker 1: do about our schedule right now what's happened so far. 188 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,520 Speaker 1: But you know, moving forward, we're focusing on the Jets 189 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,080 Speaker 1: and just correcting those things that hey, if we get 190 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:42,800 Speaker 1: this done, if we're better in the red zone, just 191 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,679 Speaker 1: buy a little bit here there. Um, we get points, 192 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,080 Speaker 1: we protect the football, and then now we get ourselves 193 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 1: in position to win games.
