1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:05,080 Speaker 1: Though a good morning. Okay, I know it's a few 2 00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:07,360 Speaker 1: times up in the game that you know, you guys 3 00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:10,320 Speaker 1: moved the ball well at times but couldn't inside the 4 00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:13,440 Speaker 1: red area of the scoring position. What, in your perspective 5 00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:17,520 Speaker 1: prevented the offense from being able to move the ball 6 00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:19,799 Speaker 1: to the red zone or down the go line. 7 00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:25,680 Speaker 2: Well, I think there's a number of factors. I mean, 8 00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:27,000 Speaker 2: first of all, when we get it there, we got 9 00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:29,680 Speaker 2: to do more with it. You know, we have a 10 00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:35,919 Speaker 2: couple of negative plays in those situations, and you know 11 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,239 Speaker 2: that that put us out, you know, put us out. 12 00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:43,720 Speaker 2: We weren't able to convert on No, We're on a 13 00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:48,640 Speaker 2: long field, so that's that's always hard to you know, 14 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,600 Speaker 2: move the ball an extra thirty or forty yards, you know, 15 00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,000 Speaker 2: but look, that is what it is. We get the 16 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:56,600 Speaker 2: ball there, still got to do more with it, but 17 00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 2: you know we've got to with one drive at the 18 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:04,160 Speaker 2: I think it was like fourteen plays and something like that, 19 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 2: and you know, went from the down somewhere around the 20 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:12,000 Speaker 2: ten to the thirty. So you know it's a good drive, 21 00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 2: but still not really even in scoring range. So you know, 22 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 2: it's a combination of not having enough explosive plays, not 23 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,039 Speaker 2: being able to do well enough when we got the 24 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:27,199 Speaker 2: ball into the pluff plus territory, and you know, playing 25 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 2: on a long field always, you know, makes it just 26 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 2: statistically harder to make long drives compared to short ones. 27 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,199 Speaker 3: So those are some of the things. 28 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 2: But I mean in the end, when we get there, 29 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:39,679 Speaker 2: we just got to do more with the opportunities that 30 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:41,400 Speaker 2: we have when we get the ball in the scoring area. 31 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:44,959 Speaker 1: And I just want to quick ball up. Were you 32 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 1: pleased enough with the offensive performance to start Bailly again 33 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 1: on Thursday? 34 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll talk about the game plan here today. Thank you. 35 00:01:58,680 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 1: Expecting Chris Bruck. 36 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 4: In reference to yesterday and also kind of more generally 37 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 4: this season, What do you do as being the main 38 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,520 Speaker 4: problems in terms of the the offensive production. 39 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,520 Speaker 3: Is it is a talent issue? Is it an execution issue? 40 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,640 Speaker 4: Is obviously the defense has you in games, but the 41 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 4: offense has not been able to seemingly move up to 42 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 4: their end of the bargain. 43 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, there's no question we need to be more 44 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 2: productive offensively, so just keep working on it. 45 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:32,960 Speaker 5: Is it a talent issue? 46 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 3: Execution? What do you what do you feel? 47 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think there's it's a combination of things. But 48 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 2: if we can can make them make them better, then 49 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:46,920 Speaker 2: collectively I think will that better results? 50 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:54,080 Speaker 4: Ken White team mind staffs on defense yesterday, What have 51 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 4: you seen from him in his development? 52 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 5: And how has he grown into more playing time? 53 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I ain't Can's you hard working kid.

So just try to keep moving forward 77 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 2: to maximize every one of those areas the best we can. 78 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, Chris Ryan. 79 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 5: All the coin. 80 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 4: I want to ask as well about Pittsburg on a 81 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 4: short week, what are you know, the challenges of taking 82 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 4: them on or anybody on this in a short week, 83 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 4: particularly when you're looking to find some consistency on one 84 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 4: side of the ball. 85 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 1: Uh. 86 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:49,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, Well again, it's uh every team has has one 87 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,040 Speaker 2: of these games, and you know we've all had them 88 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:56,479 Speaker 2: in the past. So it's about rest, recovery, being physically 89 00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 2: ready to go, and mentally, you know, quick turnaround from 90 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:05,280 Speaker 2: yesterday's game to Pittsburgh saut and report today and you know, 91 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,479 Speaker 2: a couple of days of trying to you know, get 92 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,160 Speaker 2: things cover. You know, pretty far into the season. I 93 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,680 Speaker 2: don't think there's a lot of you know, new things, 94 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,840 Speaker 2: but it's more adapting into what we do against what 95 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 2: they do, which is different than what we've seen. Especially defensively, 96 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 2: there's just a lot of odd spacing based defense. 97 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:27,719 Speaker 3: Not that we haven't seen that. 98 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 2: But I mean, you know, these guys obviously do a 99 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 2: lot of it, and so we'll have to and they 100 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 2: do it, they're kind of their style of doing it, 101 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 2: and so we'll have to adapt that to some of 102 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:37,479 Speaker 2: the things that you know, that we want to do 103 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 2: in this game. So so yeah, it's a quick quick 104 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 2: turnaround that again physically mentally and and uh and then 105 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,039 Speaker 2: from a game planning standpoint, you know, we just all 106 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,840 Speaker 2: have to you know, not try to do too much 107 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 2: game planning, but you know, physically be ready to go 108 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,839 Speaker 2: and be ready to compete for sixty minutes. 109 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 5: Well, thanks question to Coda Randall for exact comes. Well, 110 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 5: a similar question, but specifically on Pittsburgh's offense counts up. 111 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 5: Is it to develop a game plan for them this 112 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,039 Speaker 5: week given the coordinator change, the entry to the quarterback 113 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 5: that just happened, and including the a short. 114 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:23,360 Speaker 2: Week, right, Well, again, when you're when you're this far 115 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,920 Speaker 2: into the season, I don't think you know, you'd see 116 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:29,279 Speaker 2: a too many teams on a Thursday game, you know, 117 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,160 Speaker 2: revamp and run a whole new offense. You know, at 118 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 2: this point you're and you've committed a lot of time 119 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,039 Speaker 2: and reps to what you do, and you you know, 120 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:41,360 Speaker 2: modified a little bit for the specific opponent, but you 121 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 2: pretty much are what you are at this point in 122 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:47,159 Speaker 2: the season and in terms of schematically, and I don't 123 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 2: think you're put in the twenty or thirty new plays this. 124 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 3: Week, so even it was a full week. 125 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:56,160 Speaker 2: So I just you know, I think you prepare for what 126 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 2: what you've seen. We played this team last year, so 127 00:06:58,120 --> 00:06:59,720 Speaker 2: we have a little bit of a background at least 128 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 2: with some of the personnel and certainly the defensive scheme. 129 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:06,160 Speaker 3: But there's always the unknown. 130 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 2: You know, something different could happen, and if it does n't, 131 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 2: if you're ready to adapt to it, thank you. 132 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 5: And uh, one more, do you anticipate anticipate Matthew Judant 133 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 5: being able to return to practice it all down the 134 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 5: stretch this season? 135 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 3: We'll see. That's a good question. Yeah, we'll see. 136 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,840 Speaker 2: That's that's a medical question, so we'll see how that 137 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 2: plays out. I know he's working hard. You know, Matt's 138 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 2: been in here and uh, you know it works hard 139 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 2: on a on a daily basis. But again, that's that's 140 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 2: a medical question that uh, you know, I wouldn't be 141 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 2: able to answer. 142 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like the last question with the Zach Cox. 143 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 1: Morning Bill. But what does moping me to show you 144 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 1: in order to earn a more significant role defensively? I 145 00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 1: know you had some opportunities early in yesterday's game, but 146 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 1: only I believe over the last couple of weeks. 147 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 2: Well, you know, we have pretty good depth of that position, 148 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 2: and obviously Peppers and Dugger, you know, two of our 149 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 2: best players and to the better players. 150 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 3: In the league that position. 151 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 2: So not really looking to get them off the field, 152 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 2: and you know, just get playing time for somebody to 153 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 2: use players around guys like Dover and Peppers situationally because 154 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 2: you think they can help you in that situation in. 155 00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 3: A certain package. 156 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 2: And so that's that's really what players need to do 157 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:37,359 Speaker 2: in situations like that, is you know, develop an opportunity 158 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,559 Speaker 2: and and then be ready to you know, perform well 159 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:42,800 Speaker 2: when those opportunities come to create more opportunities. 160 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 3: So yeah, and taste on that.

I don't think he's a good player, 165 00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 2: will be a good player, but you know, he's still young. 166 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:01,680 Speaker 2: And inexperienced, and let's say right now you know the 167 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:07,559 Speaker 2: guys ahead of 'em are just ahead of 'em,
