1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,920 Speaker 1: Um, morning Bill. Um. I thought maybe we'll get into 2 00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:08,879 Speaker 1: the history of the holder today on this Friday. Sure, No, 3 00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:10,680 Speaker 1: I threw up, what do you got? What do you 4 00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:17,759 Speaker 1: got the specialization of the holder? Yeah, it's not the 5 00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:25,840 Speaker 1: position players much anymore. There you go. Um, Malcolm Jenkins, 6 00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:29,320 Speaker 1: what are you? What are your thoughts in his career 7 00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:35,960 Speaker 1: and him as a player, Oh tremendous. Um tremendous, great 8 00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:39,400 Speaker 1: career at New Orleans and then Philly and now back 9 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:44,320 Speaker 1: to New Orleans. Um really one of the one of 10 00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,640 Speaker 1: the better safeties through the years that we competed against. 11 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:51,200 Speaker 1: Fortunately he's been in the other conference and we've only 12 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 1: seen him a few times. But Um really does does 13 00:00:54,720 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 1: everything well. Very instinctive, smart player that can control the defense. UM. 14 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:08,560 Speaker 1: Good tackler, good cover player. UM always around the ball. 15 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,120 Speaker 1: Really really good football player. I know he has a 16 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 1: lot of positive impact on his teammates and team and 17 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 1: coaches that have coached him. Except so many positive things 18 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:23,760 Speaker 1: to say about I don't know, so I'm not familiar 19 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:25,839 Speaker 1: with that, but just in terms of watching him play, 20 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 1: that all comes out. Now. I haven't seen a lot 21 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:33,720 Speaker 1: of them again, fortunately, but Um, when I have, it's 22 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 1: it's all good, expecially Chris Ryan follow my bombs? What 23 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 1: all are you good? Chris? What it kind of gets? 24 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 1: You expanded a little bit upon some of your comments 25 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 1: about Sean Payton from earlier this week, where you talked 26 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 1: about and how impressed you are with how he attacks defenses. 27 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 1: What you know stands out specifically about a Sean Payton 28 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 1: offense and have you seen altering with Drew Brees No 29 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 1: longer there. I think Sean has always done a real 30 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 1: good job of using his personnel. And it's not like it's, 31 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 1: you know, a whole bunch of new plays every week. 32 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:21,520 Speaker 1: That's not really what he does. But he he uses 33 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 1: his players effectively, and he uses a lot of personnel groups, 34 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 1: so more personnel groups than any other team in the league. 35 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:34,920 Speaker 1: And those combinations they operate very quickly. They're on and 36 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:36,959 Speaker 1: off the field. They're not all huddle up the line. 37 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,240 Speaker 1: The ball snapped, and if you take time to break 38 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,839 Speaker 1: it all down, you can sort of figure out, yeah, well, 39 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 1: this is why he's in this set, and that's why 40 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 1: he's doing this and that, and that's what this guy 41 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 1: does well and that's where he's got him there. But 42 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 1: it's hard to do it during the game because it 43 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 1: happens so fast, and then as soon as that plays 44 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 1: over has got somebody else in there, a whole other 45 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:01,640 Speaker 1: set of you know, personnel formations, motion ball snapped. And 46 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:05,239 Speaker 1: so it's it's hard to to stay ahead of Sean 47 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 1: just because he operates so quickly with so many variables. Um, 48 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 1: all the receivers play, all the tight ends play, the 49 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 1: backs play. Um, there's two different quarterbacks. There's you know, 50 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of stuff, and then just 51 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 1: the breath of the offense from um, you know, his 52 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:29,400 Speaker 1: time there since whatever it was, oh six or whenever 53 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 1: he got there. Um, you know, it's there. There's a 54 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 1: lot of volume, and and he doesn't if you watch 55 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 1: if you watch any game, I think you look at 56 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 1: it and say, I've seen that play before. I've seen 57 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 1: that play before, but it might have been two years ago, 58 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: you know, or might have been eight games ago. So 59 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 1: the he's got a he's kind a pretty you know, 60 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 1: pretty good breath to his system. And he continually does 61 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 1: things that they know how to do, that they're familiar with, 62 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 1: but he dresses them up differently, or maybe it's something 63 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 1: he hasn't used in a while, and you're not preparing 64 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 1: for it, but it's something that's really a part of 65 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 1: their system and it's not really a new play for them. 66 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 1: So and he again does a good job attacking defenses 67 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,040 Speaker 1: and matching things up that you know, great problems for 68 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 1: your defense. And so when you look at film, you're 69 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 1: looking at what he's done, but that was against somebody 70 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 1: else's defense, and it's really hard to predict how he's 71 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 1: going to treat you and what matchups he's really going 72 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 1: to try to you know, exploit. You know, obviously we 73 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,720 Speaker 1: know Kmara is going to get the ball, and there's 74 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,039 Speaker 1: some things that are you know, pretty straightforward, but the 75 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:42,840 Speaker 1: details of it and how he does it all are 76 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:47,280 Speaker 1: very creative. And he moves very fast, and so that's 77 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,479 Speaker 1: really I think that's the problem that it creates, is 78 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,720 Speaker 1: how fast he moves and how quickly the defense has 79 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:56,160 Speaker 1: to recognize and adjust and then they're on to something else. 80 00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:01,680 Speaker 1: They're very good situational team. They obviously are coached that 81 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,600 Speaker 1: well and know what they're doing, and and uh, you 82 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 1: better be ready to play good situational football against them, 83 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 1: or you know, they'll they'll they'll slice up there too. 84 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,559 Speaker 1: And honestly, each week carries you know that that weight 85 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:19,480 Speaker 1: of being significant. But is a week like this exciting 86 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 1: for for you individually and that you're matching up with 87 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:27,920 Speaker 1: this person that you have obviously a lot of respect for. Well, well, 88 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 1: we have respect for everybody in this league. There's everybody 89 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,599 Speaker 1: has good players and good coaches and and they work 90 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 1: hard and they're they're all accomplished, or they wouldn't they 91 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 1: wouldn't be here. So each week's a challenge. But you know, 92 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 1: when you when you play a team like like this 93 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 1: once every four years, Um, there's a lot of a 94 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 1: lot of water under the bridge from one game, from 95 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,600 Speaker 1: the seventeen game to this game, and and the seventeen 96 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 1: games relevant, but there are a lot of other things 97 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,480 Speaker 1: that happened along the way, and you know, you just 98 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 1: have to try to figure out, you know, how to 99 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,239 Speaker 1: how to best prepare your team. Again, defensively, I'm speaking 100 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 1: for the things they do now, you know, offensively, uh, 101 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 1: you know, coach Allen, you know again, it takes a 102 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 1: little different approach, but they've been very successful too, and 103 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 1: the best run defense in the league in the last 104 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 1: three years. And you know, again they're a good situational 105 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 1: defense as well. Um, they're outstanding in the kicking game. 106 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 1: So there's surely no plays off against the Saints. Doesn't 107 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,159 Speaker 1: matter what the play is. They're they're capable of, you know, 108 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,279 Speaker 1: produce an explosive play, and you can't, you know, you 109 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:37,719 Speaker 1: can't really leave any stone unturned against them. Thanks. Yeah, 110 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:42,839 Speaker 1: you're welcome. Christ Next Chrission Bob filled by Mike Preas. 111 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 1: I Thank Stacy, Mike. I had a couple of questions 112 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 1: in both are follow ups. One is to something you 113 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:52,360 Speaker 1: just talked about with Sean watching take you may see 114 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:55,279 Speaker 1: if play that you've seen before, but it might have 115 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 1: been two years ago or eight years ago. And I 116 00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 1: think we've learned, at least in my time calling your 117 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 1: games that you guys are the same way you may 118 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,360 Speaker 1: run up play in Super Bowl fifty one that you 119 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,360 Speaker 1: ran in the same stadium years earlier, you know, on 120 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 1: the same tide of game with the direct staff to 121 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 1: James White, there is that from me when you come 122 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 1: up with a play like that, generally speaking without revealing 123 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 1: state secrets, is that from recall is there? Do you 124 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 1: go back and refresh? Do you and Josh go back 125 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 1: and refresh, or you know, with a defensive staff plays 126 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 1: through the years or you know, how do how do 127 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 1: you draw from a play you ran eight years ago 128 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 1: and put it in this week's skate plan? All right, 129 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 1: well that's a you know, that's a great question, Bob. 130 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 1: And and uh it usually comes with um or since 131 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 1: that usually oftentimes it comes with a you know, a 132 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 1: lengthy game plan meeting. Um. But you know, some of 133 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 1: the things you try to do or you try to 134 00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 1: attack the defense. In this case, we're talking about our 135 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 1: offense and their defense. You know, you try to attack 136 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 1: the defense, and so what are the you know, what 137 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 1: are the areas you want to attack? And and uh, 138 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 1: you know, you fall back on, you know, your menu 139 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 1: of things that you know, man and man coverage, zone coverage, pressure, 140 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 1: over under, you know, good defensive end, good defensive tackle, 141 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 1: good corner, good say, you know, whatever it is. And 142 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 1: and then you know, you also have to take any 143 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 1: consideration what you've done, what you're good at, and also 144 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 1: what they've seen. So um, you know, sometimes you you know, 145 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 1: you run a play, maybe not because you think it's 146 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,320 Speaker 1: like the greatest play against this defense that's ever been 147 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:45,840 Speaker 1: drawn up, but because you've done something in the last 148 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 1: couple of games that's kind of developed a little bit 149 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 1: of a pattern that you want to break, and so 150 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 1: the motivation for running the play maybe isn't necessarily that 151 00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,440 Speaker 1: you know, it's going to just kill this defense. It's 152 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,839 Speaker 1: just that, well, this is a compliment to what we've 153 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,560 Speaker 1: been doing and it's a good sound play, and if 154 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 1: they kind of overplayed our tendency, then you know, maybe 155 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:10,560 Speaker 1: we'll have an opportunity here, you know. And then there 156 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:12,360 Speaker 1: are other plays that you think, well, this is really 157 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 1: a good scheme play against this team, and if it's 158 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 1: one you haven't run in a while, then you have 159 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 1: to measure the you know, creativity of the play with 160 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,280 Speaker 1: the execution right, and so you okay, now this is 161 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 1: a great play if we run this, But you can't 162 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 1: always predict what the defense is going to be in 163 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 1: and if you catch the right thing, then you know, 164 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 1: you might have what you're looking for and you might 165 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,480 Speaker 1: have a you know, an explosive play. If you catch 166 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,200 Speaker 1: something else, then you know you've got to be able 167 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,720 Speaker 1: to execute it against a different defense or a different 168 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:48,600 Speaker 1: coverage or you know whatever. So you know, and if 169 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:50,480 Speaker 1: you only run the play once or twice and you're 170 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 1: counting on well, they're going to be here and then 171 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,200 Speaker 1: you get into the game and you call then it's 172 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,559 Speaker 1: something else. Then you kind of don't have much right, 173 00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:00,440 Speaker 1: So that's that's kind of the balance of can out 174 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 1: a play that looks good against some things, but there's 175 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 1: there's no absolutes. You can never i think, be one 176 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 1: hundred percent sure of where they're going to be, what 177 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 1: they're going to call. They have enough variety and what 178 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,079 Speaker 1: they do that if it matches up, great, If it doesn't, 179 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 1: you know, you need to have some kind of an 180 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:21,920 Speaker 1: answer for the play in the event that you don't 181 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,560 Speaker 1: get the look that you're hoping for or expecting, so 182 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,600 Speaker 1: however you create that and so those are the kind 183 00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 1: of things that you go back and forth on. And 184 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 1: if you always knew what the play they were going 185 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,079 Speaker 1: to run was or what defense they were going to 186 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 1: be in, to be a lot easier to call plays, 187 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 1: But you know that's not the case. So you have 188 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,839 Speaker 1: to have as a team, you have to be able 189 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 1: to execute whatever it is you call against you know, 190 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:47,840 Speaker 1: multiple things. Of course, you have a lot more control 191 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,320 Speaker 1: in that on offense and you do on defense, but 192 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 1: it's still some of the same fundamental issues. So that's 193 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 1: you know, kind of I would say the nuts and 194 00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:00,800 Speaker 1: bolts of the decision making process and then what actually 195 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 1: gets decided. You know, then that of course rolls into 196 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:06,320 Speaker 1: you know, maybe you have a couple of plays, a 197 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,840 Speaker 1: way to attack a certain coverage or whatever, and the 198 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:12,680 Speaker 1: quarterbacks like, well I really like that, and uh, and 199 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 1: it might be well, you know, this one's a little 200 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,640 Speaker 1: harder for me, or it's not you know, it's not 201 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 1: as clean. I like this other one at better. Well, 202 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:21,200 Speaker 1: then you go with the one that you know, the 203 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,600 Speaker 1: quarterback lacks better obviously season one who has to read 204 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:25,200 Speaker 1: it and throw the ball. Or if it's a running back, 205 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:28,640 Speaker 1: maybe it's you know, here's a couple you know, running plays, 206 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,320 Speaker 1: but the back really is is better at doing one 207 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 1: thing than the other. And you know, maybe you set 208 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,559 Speaker 1: that preference because of who you're going to have running 209 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,679 Speaker 1: the ball, you know, on that play, whether that's you know, 210 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 1: again we have several backs that depend on who's gonna 211 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,079 Speaker 1: be in there doing it. Maybe you you know, might 212 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:47,080 Speaker 1: prefer one over the other, based on you know, on 213 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,440 Speaker 1: that on that player person's style or the type of 214 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,280 Speaker 1: runner he is. So again, there's a number of things 215 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:55,040 Speaker 1: that go into it, and like those are some of them. 216 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:57,959 Speaker 1: So and that you know again that that leads to 217 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:02,199 Speaker 1: sometimes some longer game plan meetings. And yeah, just very 218 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 1: very quickly related to that, and regarding the quarterbacks input, 219 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 1: for example, on an offensive game plan, when you go 220 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 1: from a veteran quarterback thinking back to a scene in 221 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,839 Speaker 1: an NFL films piece back in two thousand and nine, 222 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:17,760 Speaker 1: I think where he was recalling something that you ran 223 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:19,480 Speaker 1: in the past, and then you were talking about that 224 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 1: Reid and the Ravens and what they do, and he 225 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,360 Speaker 1: could draw from him his memory. Well, now you have 226 00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,960 Speaker 1: a rookie quarterback, right, it doesn't have that memory bank, 227 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 1: that's right. Yeah, So so how much how much leeway 228 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 1: does a young quarterback have to say, you know, I 229 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:35,840 Speaker 1: don't like this player. How do you how do you 230 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 1: get him to feel confident enough to say, you know, 231 00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 1: I don't like that play as opposed to you, you know, 232 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:44,200 Speaker 1: just agree to run, you know. Yeah, And I think 233 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:47,120 Speaker 1: that's a I think that's a really Um, that's a 234 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:51,559 Speaker 1: great question. It's it's part of the whole coaching process. Um. 235 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:53,360 Speaker 1: You know a lot of times a young player might 236 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 1: say you don't really like that play, um, And part 237 00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:00,320 Speaker 1: of it maybe he doesn't really understand the full play, 238 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,560 Speaker 1: you know, because he just doesn't have enough experience with it. 239 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:07,679 Speaker 1: And and so sometimes, um, you know, the player will 240 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:09,520 Speaker 1: come around, maybe after you run the play two or 241 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 1: times three times in practice, and say, oh, you know, 242 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 1: I see that. Now I really like it. You know, 243 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,480 Speaker 1: I didn't it first and this was the you know 244 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,720 Speaker 1: where it was cloudy, But now that really makes sense 245 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 1: to me, and you know, I love this play, like 246 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:27,079 Speaker 1: I see exactly what we're trying to do. And sometimes 247 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 1: it goes the other way, and you it's just one 248 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 1: of those things that for whatever reason the player one 249 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:36,640 Speaker 1: player is comfortable with it, the next player just for 250 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 1: whatever reason, isn't. And then you run it and it 251 00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,960 Speaker 1: doesn't have a good result and you're like, oh, you know, 252 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:47,560 Speaker 1: we kind of knew this, you know, wasn't something that 253 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 1: this particular player was you know, felt good about. And 254 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,960 Speaker 1: so you just have to make that decision as a 255 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,440 Speaker 1: coach that you know, you just if they don't like it, 256 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:58,800 Speaker 1: or if it doesn't look good in practice or you're 257 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,160 Speaker 1: un confident in it, then it out and we have 258 00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:03,920 Speaker 1: enough other plays that we can run. But it's I 259 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:07,440 Speaker 1: think that's the developing the relationship with you know, the 260 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:12,080 Speaker 1: head coach, the quarterback, the offensive coordinator slash play caller 261 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,640 Speaker 1: and kind of everybody being on the same page. But 262 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,720 Speaker 1: you know, in the games, things move quickly and things 263 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:22,520 Speaker 1: happen quickly, and and there's definitely a decision making element 264 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 1: that every quarterback has. That's um, he has the ball, 265 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 1: he sees what he sees, he has to make a decision, 266 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,240 Speaker 1: and the coaching is really you know, out of it 267 00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:36,320 Speaker 1: at that point because you know, things have happened that 268 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:39,680 Speaker 1: have overridden the intent or the execution of the play. 269 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 1: So but how how well that gets aside, I'd say 270 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,400 Speaker 1: it's certainly a process, you know, and it's no different 271 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:49,240 Speaker 1: on defense. It's you know, some linebackers that uh you 272 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:51,480 Speaker 1: know that's say, well, I don't want to you know, 273 00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:54,040 Speaker 1: I don't want to run this defensive lineman on a 274 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 1: stunt because he does running very well. I'd rather just 275 00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:58,600 Speaker 1: play it straight. Okay. The next guy gets in there 276 00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:01,360 Speaker 1: and says, you know, hey, this other guy's in here, 277 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,280 Speaker 1: I'm gonna if he's in there, I'm calling that stunt 278 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 1: because you know, I think that'll be a great call 279 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 1: for UCE in that situation. So something that's a little 280 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,760 Speaker 1: bit dependent on the personnel and and you know how 281 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 1: confident the players who are making those decisions, whether it's 282 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 1: a coverage adjustment or a stunt or a play call 283 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 1: or you know that kind of thing. It's you know, 284 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,240 Speaker 1: then the players have to make that decision, you know, 285 00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:28,680 Speaker 1: as they as the opponent presents it. We'll thank you 286 00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,000 Speaker 1: very much, my apologies to my colleagues. Thanks to your 287 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,680 Speaker 1: patience as well. Yeah, those game planning questions are always 288 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:40,440 Speaker 1: always interesting. It's fascinating. Thank you. My briefs always at 289 00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:44,360 Speaker 1: cost and I know the focus is on the scene set. 290 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:46,640 Speaker 1: I did want to ask if you had any response 291 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 1: to Alex Guerrero's remarks in the Bust Herald about his 292 00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,680 Speaker 1: view of your handling at Tom Brady, if you had 293 00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:57,840 Speaker 1: any response to those remarks. Yeah, I appreciate the question. 294 00:15:57,960 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 1: I know it's a lot of answers for obvious reasons, 295 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 1: and in the next week's game, but let's kind of 296 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,800 Speaker 1: we're focused on Saints here and we'll on Monday, we'll 297 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 1: get to the next week. Expression Zach Cox probably morning Bill, 298 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 1: Zach uh Jacoby has played pretty much every offensive snap 299 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,760 Speaker 1: this season. Uh, just curious what kind of growth you've 300 00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,800 Speaker 1: seen from him from from the end of last year 301 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:34,560 Speaker 1: up through up through now. Um, yeah, a lot. I 302 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:38,520 Speaker 1: mean just really as a player, you know, Jacoby's had 303 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 1: a very i would say, steady um growth since he's 304 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 1: come here. Um, you know, undrafted, UM, you know, really 305 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:52,680 Speaker 1: was was kind of at a little bit of an 306 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,560 Speaker 1: unusual fit in the offense just from his background. And 307 00:16:55,560 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 1: it's interesting. I talked to you know, coaches that he had, um, 308 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,960 Speaker 1: you know at NC State and and uh, just he's 309 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,399 Speaker 1: just an interesting kid. You know, he's not really the 310 00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,040 Speaker 1: profile of a slot receiver. He's not really the profile 311 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:13,840 Speaker 1: of perimeter receiver. UM. But he does both. And you know, 312 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:17,399 Speaker 1: he has a good skill set that enables him to 313 00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:23,200 Speaker 1: be multiple and he's smart, um and just doesn't really 314 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:25,600 Speaker 1: I would say fit the you know, the exact profile 315 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:29,000 Speaker 1: you would have for you know, one particular spot, but 316 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:31,600 Speaker 1: the combination of all of them. He you know, he's 317 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 1: he does pretty well. And um uh you know he's 318 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:37,919 Speaker 1: become a you know, much better in every phase of 319 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 1: the game, blocking, um man a man route, running inside routes, 320 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:48,480 Speaker 1: outside routes, his own awareness, um, you know, just adjusting 321 00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:51,119 Speaker 1: to the quarterback, which you know he's played for you know, 322 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:55,480 Speaker 1: now really three different quarterbacks. Um, so you know that's 323 00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 1: that's all part of it too. And he continues to 324 00:17:57,359 --> 00:17:59,200 Speaker 1: do a lot of the little things that are important 325 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,720 Speaker 1: not only his position but within the entire group, and 326 00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,120 Speaker 1: has given a lot of good leadership to the receiver 327 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:08,439 Speaker 1: group because he has the most experience in our system, 328 00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:10,280 Speaker 1: the venue as players. So you know, of course Nelly 329 00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:12,560 Speaker 1: and and KB had played a lot of football, but 330 00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:16,960 Speaker 1: Jacobe's played more for US. So, um, but it's been 331 00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:20,960 Speaker 1: very uh, you know, consistent, and it hasn't you know, 332 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:22,960 Speaker 1: it wasn't just one to year one to year two, 333 00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,760 Speaker 1: but it was and then year two to year three. 334 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,600 Speaker 1: You know, he's really he's really you know, moved up 335 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:32,960 Speaker 1: every year and and throughout the course of each season too. So, UM, 336 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:34,800 Speaker 1: I think everybody, I mean I certainly have a lot 337 00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:38,439 Speaker 1: of respect for what he's accomplished and and um, you 338 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,520 Speaker 1: know how how much how hard he's worked to work 339 00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:45,240 Speaker 1: on his weaknesses and improve those you know, those areas 340 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 1: to become a you know kind of a receiver. They 341 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 1: can do a lot of different things for us. So 342 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:52,440 Speaker 1: I'd say, as we wrap this up, that's a good 343 00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:56,600 Speaker 1: segue into into this weekend with Julian Um being Julian 344 00:18:56,680 --> 00:19:00,639 Speaker 1: Edelman day. Um, that's kind of similar to what Julian did. Uh. 345 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:04,159 Speaker 1: And Julian is another guy that kind of you know, 346 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:06,280 Speaker 1: first of all, it was a quarterback, So is he 347 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:09,800 Speaker 1: a running back? Is he a receiver? As a returner? Um, Well, 348 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:12,399 Speaker 1: it turns out he's actually played a little bit of 349 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 1: defense too. And Julian also played inside and outside and 350 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,080 Speaker 1: and you know did did multiple things for us. And 351 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,640 Speaker 1: UM took him a little while to get on the field, 352 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,000 Speaker 1: probably a little longer than it's taken Jacobe. But you know, 353 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:29,120 Speaker 1: in the end, you know, had a tremendous career. Um 354 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 1: had tremendous production and in every area UM receiving and 355 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:37,119 Speaker 1: run after cash, punt returns, and you know it was 356 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:40,040 Speaker 1: a good blocker, was a really tough competitive kid. You know, 357 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:41,840 Speaker 1: it was right up there at the top of the 358 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 1: guys that I've coached, UM. And so it's really UM, 359 00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 1: you know, it'd be great to see Julian Um. Assume 360 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:59,200 Speaker 1: it doesn't like roast me or get into a big impersonation, UM, 361 00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,120 Speaker 1: but you know, it'd be great to see him again 362 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 1: and and and recognize him for the for the great 363 00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,560 Speaker 1: career that he had here, and you know how much 364 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:11,919 Speaker 1: he meant to his team, this organization, and um, you 365 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,440 Speaker 1: know how much he stepped up for us in big games. 366 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 1: UM you know, year after year, a week after week. 367 00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:22,240 Speaker 1: So thank you, appreciate everyone's time. Sorry for the long 368 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:27,520 Speaker 1: winded answers. UM, let's see a Sunday if your coach 369 00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:32,200 Speaker 1: stays Banks. Bill M.
