1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,000
Speaker 1: Again, certainly of the week's injury, how have your game

2
00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:06,280
Speaker 1: planned this week to count from potentially not having them?

3
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 2: I'll let I'll let Daves talk about like the injury stuff,

4
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:13,240
Speaker 2: but generally, like as an offense, Yeah, Like it's just

5
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:16,319
Speaker 2: really taking a next man up approach on offense. Just

6
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:18,319
Speaker 2: our and our coaching staff was a great job of

7
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:20,920
Speaker 2: getting everyone prepared, so, you know, making sure we're all.

8
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 3: Down, next man up is what you would say for

9
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 3: everybody obviously at every all eleven positions. But when somebody's

10
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 3: accounting for like forty percent of your offense, the next

11
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 3: man up is not going to be able to do that.

12
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:34,479
Speaker 3: So how do you spread that around? I guess how

13
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:36,839
Speaker 3: do you get more people involved? Do you have to

14
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 3: ask for more, ask for more out of everybody rather

15
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 3: than just the guy who's taking the league spot.

16
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean really, the philosophy is, you know, next

17
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 2: man up, next man in, he's in the care of

18
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:48,599
Speaker 2: the load, and then we just kind of figure out

19
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 2: as a coaching staff, you know, knowing our player's strengths

20
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 2: and weaknesses, putting them in a really good position to

21
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 2: be successful. Well, so many time.

22
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 4: Plays gets a fifteen stats game because it's just not

23
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 4: practice of well doing week. Are you comfortable with Jalen

24
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,319
Speaker 4: getting forty fifty steps? You know, same league doesn't play.

25
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 5: We don't know yet, right, Are you comfortable in the

26
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 5: way he's preps and that he's you're comfortable with him

27
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 5: to get forty fifty steps a game?

28
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,399
Speaker 4: Is he at that point where you all good with that? Yeah?

29
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 4: I'm very confident in Jalen. He's been a pro since

30
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 4: he's been here.

31
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 2: He's been studying the tail off and you're right, he

32
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 2: hasn't had a ton this year, but he's practiced every

33
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 2: single day like he's a starter. He repairs like he's

34
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:30,039
Speaker 2: the starter. So again talk about that next man up approach.

35
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 4: He's one of those guys. If he has to go.

36
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 2: In, he'll be ready and prepared and we'll be expecting him,

37
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 2: you know, to do his job and make plays for us.

38
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 3: You're playing against the defense that just allowed to literally

39
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,399
Speaker 3: a perfect game eighteen for eighteen. Is there stuff you

40
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 3: can see from what jard got from the Lions did

41
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 3: that you guys can apply, But I'm sure you're not

42
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 3: gonna tell me what that is, But like, is there

43
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 3: stuff schemes that you can carry from their game plan

44
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 3: or do you just have to do your stuff.

45
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 4: Yeah.

46
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 2: You when you're when you're game planning, you're looking at

47
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 2: all the different schemes, all the different averages you got,

48
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 2: and you know they uh, you know, playing on a

49
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 2: Monday night, they hit some extra time and stuff like that.

50
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 2: So you're looking at you know, what they what, what

51
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,920
Speaker 2: they set up, what they've done in the past. You know,

52
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,359
Speaker 2: coach McDonald has you know, four games under his belt

53
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,359
Speaker 2: right now, because there's a bunch of tape from Baltimore,

54
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 2: so you can look at that.

55
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 4: So yeah, I mean.

56
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 2: Our coaches, we've been spent a lot of time studying,

57
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 2: you know, all the schemes and with with our players

58
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 2: and trying to put them in good spots.

59
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 3: If you look at the game against Dallas, was there

60
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 3: a common factor in settling.

61
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,919
Speaker 4: For field goals as opposed to storing tds?

62
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 2: No, I think you know, last week obviously we you know,

63
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 2: we want to score touchdowns in those situations. But but

64
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 2: there's been examples over this over the course of the season.

65
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,239
Speaker 2: What we have, you know, we finished the red zone,

66
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 2: so really really proud of that, you know, in Washington,

67
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 2: did it in Cleveland and and so you know, those

68
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 2: are things that we can build on.

69
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 4: Specifically went wrong last week.

70
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just you know, when it comes down to it,

71
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,559
Speaker 2: whether it's just you know, execution, whether it's just communication

72
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 2: all those little tiny things, whether it's a fundamental breakdown

73
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 2: at the point of attack, you know, whether it's just

74
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 2: you know, getting the right playing in the right time,

75
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 2: things like that.

76
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,519
Speaker 4: So you know, we just gotta keep on working and

77
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 4: getting better at it, and I think we will.

78
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 5: We have to talk about next man up, you know,

79
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 5: and running back room might need that too. Obviously Devin

80
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 5: is dealing with an injury too. I mean your confidence

81
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 5: of I guess in Tracy and and great just going forward.

82
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, we have a lot of confidence in that

83
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 2: in that running back room coach coach Joe Thomas does

84
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 2: a great job and getting those guys prepared and getting

85
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 2: them mentally in tuned to whether pressures were going to

86
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 2: see the run game and how they're going to fit

87
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 2: off our blocks and stuff like that. So I'm excited

88
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 2: about that group. It's a young group, so we have

89
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 2: an opportunity and obviously, if if Dave's you were going

90
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 2: to hit the end any of the injury stuff. But

91
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 2: those young guys have been prepping for it.

92
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: There's been a lot of focus on Daniel's deep balls

93
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: and kind of short overthrow. You talked about yesterday about

94
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: trusting and throwing it that something when you're in practice

95
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 1: with him, do you see him trust in it?

96
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 4: Like what does that look like? Yeah?

97
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 3: There was.

98
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 2: There were several really good examples yesterday even in practice,

99
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 2: just putting in a spot wherever guy kind of go

100
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 2: run underneath it to go get it. And again that's

101
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 2: just we'll keep on repping practice for a reason. That

102
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 2: way you can feel confident of doing in the game.

103
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 2: And so DJ has been doing that. You know, we're

104
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 2: going to give him those opportunities in practice.

105
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 1: You see, I guess the game situation, has the confidence

106
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 1: been lacking in him to throw it deep or is

107
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 1: it just not translating.

108
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 6: No, I wouldn't say it's like are you kind of

109
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 6: luck confidence or like that. I would just say sometimes

110
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 6: the defense doesn't give you exactly the look you might see,

111
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 6: so you have to you know, reset and check it down,

112
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 6: get the ball in your hands. And that's that's part

113
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 6: of being a quarterback.

114
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 3: In their run game, it seems like they have taken

115
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,039
Speaker 3: it great, They've taken ownership of we have to do

116
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 3: a better job. They're doing well as a pass blocking unit.

117
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:57,160
Speaker 3: How do they perform better at their run blocking in it?

118
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 4: Well, you know, I would say.

119
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:06,239
Speaker 2: Last week those guys, those guys compared to the weeks

120
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,239
Speaker 2: before right where they were having a lot of good production.

121
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,359
Speaker 2: I think that this week these guys are up for

122
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 2: a really good challenge, and I think they're in the

123
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 2: right frame of mind and they're having a really good

124
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:16,679
Speaker 2: week of practice and today is one of those days.

125
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:18,839
Speaker 4: So I'm excited to see how those guys respond.

126
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 3: Lock any kind of asset for you this week, Like

127
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 3: in terms of be practiced against them for years.

128
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's you know, being in that being in that

129
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 2: building and him understanding the players. Now it's a different scheme,

130
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 2: both offensively and defensively. So, but he's had some insights

131
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 2: to some of their guys and you know kind of

132
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 2: who they are what they are, So yeah, of course

133
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 2: we've had those coverles
