1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,719 Speaker 1: Smiling guys. Good, How are you guys? 2 00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:06,320 Speaker 2: I know, a life goes into it to be super 3 00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:08,639 Speaker 2: Paul and all that, But just from kind of a 4 00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:10,639 Speaker 2: rock Rush perspective, why did you guys have so main 5 00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:13,480 Speaker 2: toplets of success the first half supposed to and second half? 6 00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:17,160 Speaker 1: I don't know that there's one answer on that. 7 00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:21,120 Speaker 3: Certainly, I thought that guys really did a good job 8 00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:24,880 Speaker 3: of executing certain things in the first half and made 9 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:28,680 Speaker 3: a lot of big plays, and then we'd really we 10 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:31,560 Speaker 3: kind of we never really got into a good rhythm 11 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:36,440 Speaker 3: in the second half, and you know, that's that's my job, 12 00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:40,680 Speaker 3: so we'll we'll figure out why that was. I think 13 00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,159 Speaker 3: there's a lot of things you can think about and 14 00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 3: talk about, but you know, whether it's executing a specific 15 00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,760 Speaker 3: play better or calling a different play, I think you 16 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:54,639 Speaker 3: always look back on those things and evaluate it from 17 00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:59,040 Speaker 3: both lenses, you know, so honestly, I think at this 18 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,400 Speaker 3: time of the year, when you play a team like 19 00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:06,080 Speaker 3: that and get an opportunity to see the type of 20 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:11,200 Speaker 3: precision and level of execution and detail that all of 21 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:17,920 Speaker 3: us need to showcase in those types of games, you know, 22 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:19,960 Speaker 3: it can be a blessing if we learn from it. 23 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,319 Speaker 3: And I know that's what I'm hard at work trying 24 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 3: to do. And I think our guys are too general. 25 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 1: Last weeks the offensive output is offen time the second 26 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 1: half games that you say in trends over the last 27 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 1: few weeks, you know, trends. 28 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:36,399 Speaker 3: I think it's just you know, when you play with 29 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:42,760 Speaker 3: a lead, there's you fight that human nature to you know, 30 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 3: relax and uh want to have done enough, you know, 31 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 3: And I think sometimes that you know, playing from behind 32 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 3: is easier than playing from ahead in certain. 33 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 1: Situations, you know, So. 34 00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 3: We just have to again, this is a great opportunity 35 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 3: to learn how you have to close out a game 36 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 3: against a team that's certainly been been there at the 37 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:08,799 Speaker 3: end many years in a row. And so it can 38 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 3: be a gift for us if we'll if we'll learn, 39 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 3: And I think our guys are intent on doing that this. 40 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 2: First year obviously with Mike and not a whole lot 41 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 2: of losses to you know, react to for you guys. 42 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 2: But I'm curious, what what's that dynamic like between you 43 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 2: two after a loss? You know, how much criticism is there, 44 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 2: how many suggestions has he giving you? What is what 45 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 2: is that like for for you? 46 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 1: No different. 47 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 3: Exactly the same as it always has been very consistent. 48 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,360 Speaker 3: He has dialogue with all of us every day and 49 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 3: has every day this year. I don't think that would 50 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 3: that would change, you know, win, lose ten games in 51 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 3: a row, multiple losses, whatever it is. You know, he's 52 00:02:56,080 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 3: got great input and understanding of what are doing. I'm 53 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 3: sure it's the same for the other phases. And you know, 54 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,639 Speaker 3: whether it's a meeting or a walk through or practice, 55 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 3: what have you. 56 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 1: That that hasn't changed. And I wouldn't expect it to. 57 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:17,080 Speaker 2: Let as look at the situation and you've had dreak 58 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 2: one year, how much you're still learning about you even 59 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 2: if you go with those second half situations, those late 60 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 2: situations of what you want to do as an offense 61 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 2: and how you work with. 62 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 1: Them and what you're doing. I think you're always learning again. 63 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 3: I think you know, any young player, I mean, it 64 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 3: takes a lot of years for you to stop learning 65 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 3: about things in the in the in the league, in 66 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 3: the game, about players, about yourselves. I think this is 67 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 3: kind of a you know, an evolution. Every season is 68 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,839 Speaker 3: its own, and you know, our season this year has 69 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 3: started one way, changed gears, you know, found a little 70 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 3: rhythm you know, have had some some moments where we've 71 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 3: played really well and then some other moments where it's 72 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 3: been you know, up and down and we struggled with 73 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 3: a little bit of consistency. But I think Drake's done 74 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 3: an amazing job of learning from every opportunity. I think 75 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 3: the same thing we said in training camp is true today. 76 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 3: We either win or we'll learn from it. And I 77 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 3: think that he's a great embodiment of what that means. 78 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 3: Because everything that we didn't do well in the game, 79 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 3: I know he's going to try to do everything he 80 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,040 Speaker 3: can to learn from it so that we don't make 81 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 3: the same mistake twice. So couldn't ask more from the 82 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 3: young man and really from our entire group. I know 83 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 3: their intent on learning from the things that we didn't 84 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 3: do well the other day. 85 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,920 Speaker 2: Joshada last five weeks passing offense is number one by 86 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,719 Speaker 2: UK against being coverage down bottom half of the league 87 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:49,479 Speaker 2: in this stretch by other metrics. What are you seeing 88 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 2: there in terms of the shift? What can you do 89 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:55,799 Speaker 2: as a coaching staff to unlock more success against Mandavent. 90 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 3: I think there's probably a lot of variables that go 91 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 3: into that. I mean, you know, the on the situation, 92 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:05,359 Speaker 3: the call the personnel that you're talking about running it against. 93 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 3: But I mean it's nice to say just you know, 94 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 3: run Man beaters when they're playing Man. 95 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 1: It's not as simple as that. 96 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 3: So we can certainly try to do those things, which 97 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 3: we will and we have, and we'll continue to try 98 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 3: to do those because that's always helpful if you can. 99 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 3: But you know, I think Man's no different now than 100 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,839 Speaker 3: it was in September. You know, they get on you, 101 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 3: and you know it is what it is. In terms 102 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,039 Speaker 3: of the passing game. You either have a concept that's 103 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 3: really built for it or you don't, and then it 104 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 3: becomes kind of a you know, an execution thing. So 105 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 3: we're always trying to hunt those up and see if 106 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,720 Speaker 3: we can find ways to help our guys create more 107 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,840 Speaker 3: separation or make some plays against any coverage. Honestly, it's 108 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 3: not just Man and Man. I mean, there's a lot 109 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 3: of difficult coverages that you see. But I also think 110 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,720 Speaker 3: there's teams that have seen enough of us and enough 111 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 3: of everybody around the league that you start to see 112 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,160 Speaker 3: some things now that maybe weren't seeing a month ago. 113 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 3: You know, they doubled Steph a number of times in 114 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 3: the game the other day. You know, there's been teams 115 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 3: that have not done anything like that, and then there's 116 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,040 Speaker 3: been teams that you know, are starting to sprinkle things 117 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 3: in there. So whether that's dropping extra people in the 118 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:19,280 Speaker 3: short area or it's double team and people. Hunters had 119 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:22,720 Speaker 3: some of that this year too, So you know, there's 120 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:24,839 Speaker 3: no shortcut to win it against man and man coverage. 121 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 3: I mean, it's a one on one game across the board, 122 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 3: and sometimes you have a scheme that's really perfect for it. 123 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 3: Sometimes you do not, you know, and our job is 124 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 3: to try to figure out as many ways as we 125 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 3: can to help them, and I know our guys are 126 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 3: working harder. 127 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 1: To It's the Ravens defense too. There's it. 128 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,800 Speaker 3: Honestly, as many times as we've played him, it doesn't 129 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 3: seem like this has changed under John physical, big inside, 130 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 3: their style, jumps off the tape, aggressive. I think they 131 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 3: got premier players at all three levels of the defense, 132 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:02,239 Speaker 3: which you go back fifteen twenty years, it's the same story. 133 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 3: You know, the safety is elite, Rokwan Smith is elite. 134 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,360 Speaker 3: There's some really tough matchups up front, you know, in 135 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 3: the in terms of the physicality and being able to 136 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 3: move them, and they got a lot of good young 137 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 3: players that are that are getting mingled in there. 138 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 1: Humphrey. 139 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 3: I still have a tremendous amount of respect and admiration 140 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 3: for the way he plays and what he does. He's 141 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 3: played inside, he plays outside, he does all that stuff. 142 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 3: So and they're getting great contributions from their younger, younger players, 143 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 3: you know, the rookies and and the guys that they've 144 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 3: just added to the team. So it's gonna be a 145 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 3: physical game, there's no question about it. You can't there's 146 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 3: no way to avoid that. So we're getting ready for 147 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 3: that kind of a game. We know what that's gonna 148 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 3: be on the road in this environment just makes it 149 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 3: harder or get ready to work on third down, which 150 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 3: is that's a treat in and of itself. So scheme 151 00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 3: challenges certainly, personnel. Zach's doing a great job of mixing 152 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 3: and matching some of the things that they do. Not 153 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 3: easy to pinpoint what you're going to get from him 154 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 3: on a weekly basis because it changes pretty quickly. So 155 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 3: it's gonna be a lot of communication, a lot of 156 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:18,240 Speaker 3: precision required on our part, and certainly a lot of toughness. 157 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 1: The way is t habital in terms of changing place. 158 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 2: See when there might be a couple of times in 159 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 2: the second efforts he could check the run. We're just. 160 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:34,320 Speaker 3: Ye, I mean, yeah, look, we don't ever handcuff the guys, 161 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 3: but I don't want to. That's not his responsibility to 162 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 3: you know, always make sure that you know he second 163 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 3: guesses the call or something like that. 164 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 1: I know he doesn't. You know, he tries to execute 165 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 1: the call the best that he can. 166 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:53,439 Speaker 3: And so if there's ever a situation where you wanted 167 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,560 Speaker 3: me to run the ball more than we did, you 168 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 3: can look right here and ask me why we didn't 169 00:08:59,200 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 3: run it more. 170 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 1: But Drake, Drake does a great job with. 171 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:03,960 Speaker 3: Our check with me is to answer the question in 172 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,320 Speaker 3: a different way of understanding what the parameters are and 173 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 3: getting us in the play that we're supposed to be. 174 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,720 Speaker 3: And honest to god, I don't remember one that he's missed. 175 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,280 Speaker 3: So in that regard, he's done a fabulous job of 176 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 3: helping us try to improve the efficiency of whatever the 177 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 3: combination is that we're packaging together. But no, in the game, look, 178 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 3: there's there's always sequences in the game where you wish 179 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:29,040 Speaker 3: you would. 180 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:30,439 Speaker 1: Have done better than what you did. You know, and 181 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:32,840 Speaker 1: you just start with me in terms of would. 182 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 3: I've done something different or not, you know, such as 183 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,200 Speaker 3: life is there some may thank. 184 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 1: You, thank Is there some reason behind step things getting 185 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:50,200 Speaker 1: snaps and games? 186 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 3: Nope, you know, there's a lot of guys that got 187 00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,679 Speaker 3: fewer snaps on Sunday because we didn't earn enough snaps 188 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,680 Speaker 3: in the game, and so so we look at it. 189 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 1: Steph has done a great job. 190 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:07,040 Speaker 3: And so whether it's Steph, you know, or Trevion who 191 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 3: played in the twenties on Sunday, I'd love for Trevion 192 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:11,840 Speaker 3: to play in the fifties. But when you don't have 193 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:16,439 Speaker 3: fifty plays, you know, it's hard for us to establish 194 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:21,240 Speaker 3: you know, that volume for any one player. But look, 195 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 3: they all should want to play as many snaps as 196 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:27,440 Speaker 3: we have, and that's that's an impossibility because I know 197 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 3: we're using everybody and trying to get contributions from all 198 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:34,720 Speaker 3: of them. But I think for us and for me specifically, 199 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 3: let's see if we can't you know, establish more rhythm 200 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 3: on both you know, this first half, second half, get 201 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 3: the play count up into the high sixties or seventies. 202 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,960 Speaker 3: And now I think the opportunities for every player on 203 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 3: our team go up. You know so, no, but there's 204 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:54,000 Speaker 3: no there's no special reason for that. Thanks you, yeah, thanks, 205 00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,080 Speaker 3: thank you youtubealful
