1 00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:04,279 Speaker 1: Like. What what is your process for were as a staff? 2 00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:09,000 Speaker 1: We're making adjustments at halftime. How much time do you 3 00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:14,240 Speaker 1: spend on it and how detailed is that? It's detailed, Um. Well, those, 4 00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:17,599 Speaker 1: those conversations start happening, you know, throughout the first quarter 5 00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:21,079 Speaker 1: and second quarter, really as as the defense presents itself, 6 00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:25,040 Speaker 1: and then really, Um, if you have a two minute 7 00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:27,240 Speaker 1: or maybe you don't have the possession like that, that 8 00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:30,760 Speaker 1: conversation will happen in between series is and then those 9 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,959 Speaker 1: will get written down by staff and already be kind 10 00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:36,760 Speaker 1: of on paper as we walk into locker room. We 11 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,519 Speaker 1: discussed them, make sure on the same page and then 12 00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:42,120 Speaker 1: get those adjustments to the players before moving out to half, 13 00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:45,120 Speaker 1: which is like Daniel running the ball like almost part 14 00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:47,040 Speaker 1: of the progressions. It seems like we're saying get the 15 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:48,479 Speaker 1: back of the drop and you're telling him if you 16 00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:50,000 Speaker 1: don't see it, just just take off of that part. 17 00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:51,760 Speaker 1: I think he's done a good job of scene, seems 18 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:53,720 Speaker 1: and hitting him. I mean he's converted on several of 19 00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,480 Speaker 1: the big time third and fourth downs for us. So 20 00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 1: that's I think a part of his game is a 21 00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:00,279 Speaker 1: let a guy can get out of the pocket. Um. 22 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:01,640 Speaker 1: So you know you definitely don't want to take that 23 00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:03,720 Speaker 1: part of a game away from him. What you guys 24 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:05,560 Speaker 1: have thrown for less than two hundred yards in the 25 00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:09,360 Speaker 1: first two games and there's a a narrative maybe Daniel 26 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,760 Speaker 1: is has not been willing to throw the ball they 27 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:13,320 Speaker 1: on the field. I mean, how do you how do 28 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 1: you answer that in terms of his decision? May I 29 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 1: think he's doing a great job with the football. I 30 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,680 Speaker 1: think it's one turnover in the red zone that I'm 31 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 1: sure you'd like to have back, as we all would, 32 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:24,840 Speaker 1: but I think he's doing a great job with the football. 33 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,920 Speaker 1: I think he's he's managing the game, he's playing within 34 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 1: the system and I think those big plays that you're seeing, 35 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:32,679 Speaker 1: I think those are going to happen right you know, 36 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:34,040 Speaker 1: you never want to go out there and force a 37 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 1: whole bunch of things. That's where the bad decisions happened, 38 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 1: that's where the turnovers happened. I think you continue to 39 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,479 Speaker 1: play within the system, let the system work for you 40 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 1: and the offense work for you, and then you'll see 41 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 1: that those things show up. Carolina was able to limit 42 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 1: take quite a little bit in the first half last week, 43 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 1: and what can you do to create more opportunities through 44 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:57,440 Speaker 1: him when other teams. Yeah, they did a good job 45 00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 1: with that last week. Um, you know, and this week 46 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 1: that's we're focused on. Focus on putting our guys in 47 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 1: the best spot, communicating. We're emphasizing communication, we're emphasizing execution, Um, 48 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,240 Speaker 1: and then when we get down into the fourth quarter, 49 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 1: down into the game, you know, finishing games. So, okay, 50 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I have times a play caller to that question. 51 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 1: What's three yards on fight? Yeah, you know the game 52 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:20,959 Speaker 1: is close, so you don't have to go up a 53 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: script or anything, but is it a battle in your head? 54 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:26,640 Speaker 1: And you guys Brian a little bit about you've gotta 55 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 1: stick with it. We gotta because sometimes, you know, listening 56 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 1: just fade off the cliff. And sure, I think it's 57 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 1: it's time in a couple of things with the adjustments. 58 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 1: What kind of adjustice you want to make? The communication, 59 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 1: how we'RE gonna get that to the players, and then 60 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 1: the execution part of it. I think that that's really 61 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 1: kind of been our emphasis this week throughout practice, is 62 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,799 Speaker 1: getting those three things worked out. We're going to stick 63 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 1: with the running game, but we've got to change. I 64 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 1: don't think it's just run or pass per se. I 65 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 1: think you have to, you know, take advantage of what 66 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,799 Speaker 1: the defense is presenting and being able to be flexible 67 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:02,239 Speaker 1: with the running pass within the scheme. Right. You don't 68 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 1: want to just call runs the call runs or call 69 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,520 Speaker 1: passes to call passes. You want to be able to 70 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:10,080 Speaker 1: have some Um, be multiple on that and take advantage 71 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:17,960 Speaker 1: of what the defense is presenting. Um, I think you know, 72 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 1: war emphasizing is um the communication part of it at 73 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage, player to player, coached, the player 74 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 1: coach the coach, the communication part of that, and then 75 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 1: the execution part. I mean, I think we want to 76 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 1: we've kind of taken a step back look look, you know, 77 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,360 Speaker 1: within our selves and said, all right, how can we 78 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 1: be more clean on this scheme? How can we be 79 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 1: more cleaner detailed on these types of situations? And so 80 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 1: that that's really been our focus. I think if we can, 81 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 1: we can start to build on that. I think that's 82 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 1: what we'll start. You're seeing the fast, faster start for us. Mike, 83 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 1: are there are things that you can do as a 84 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 1: play color or play designer during the week to get 85 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 1: Kenny Moore involved, or does Kenny have to adjust to 86 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 1: what's being called so that he can have a bigger role. Yeah, 87 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 1: I think I think there's a mix of both. I 88 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 1: think there's a mix of both and every week we 89 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 1: evaluate the matchups, you evaluate the defense, evaluate our personnel 90 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 1: and where they're at, and that's just part of our processes. 91 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 1: And offense, Mike what earlier this week asked dames about 92 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 1: this and it's almost the League wi question as much 93 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 1: it is for you guys. Ten years ago, some of 94 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 1: the bread and butter plays for your offense or other 95 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 1: offenses in this league would be conviewed as gimmicks or gadgets, 96 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 1: and nowadays it's really go to plays in certain situations. 97 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 1: How have you seen kind of the evolution of not 98 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 1: just the execution of those plays but also the philosophy 99 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 1: knowing that you're in the red zone and these are 100 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:44,720 Speaker 1: plays that you're going to go to and it's not 101 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 1: going to be getting too cute, for sure. Sure, I think. Um, 102 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,040 Speaker 1: that's that's really interesting. You say that. I think the 103 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 1: defense when you when you get specifically when you get 104 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 1: into the red zone, I mean the you know, the 105 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,480 Speaker 1: the area shrinks for a little bit, right, so you're 106 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 1: kind of working against the depth and you're kind of 107 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 1: working with more sideline to sideline things. So I think 108 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 1: you see that around the league a little bit more. 109 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 1: Is the speed sideline, the sideline versus vertical, just because 110 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 1: you're limited with space. And so, you know, I think 111 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 1: when you see around the NFL you see a lot 112 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 1: of teams trying to displace defenders or get influenced defenders 113 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:21,039 Speaker 1: in certain ways, Um, which I think has been great. 114 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 1: You know, great to see teams across the League do 115 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 1: interesting stuff like that and try to apply it to 116 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 1: your offense, like what have you your bio at northster 117 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 1: than I think you said back then, or at least 118 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:33,839 Speaker 1: throw it back then, or whatever the case was, that 119 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 1: visualizing is a way that you prepare for games. Do 120 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:42,840 Speaker 1: you still go back to that? Absolutely, you want to 121 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 1: take those mental reps and that's you know, we kind 122 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 1: of play a game upstairs with with our staff. It's 123 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 1: you know, it's a it's a game that can put 124 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,480 Speaker 1: you in a situation. You're kind of calling it and then, 125 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,599 Speaker 1: based off whatever number you kind of roll all the dice. 126 00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 1: It puts you in a different situation. Was a Mindus 127 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 1: yardage or Plus Yard Ridge, and so you're kind of 128 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,600 Speaker 1: able to kind of play the mental game off the 129 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,040 Speaker 1: call sheet and get mental reps of it and kind 130 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 1: of put yourself in those situations. But it's been pretty fun. 131 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:10,160 Speaker 1: We've been doing it here for the last couple of 132 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 1: weeks here. What have you as a staff where you 133 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,840 Speaker 1: personally claimed Golladay he needs to do better to earn 134 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,840 Speaker 1: more snaps sit say again, sorry. What have you done, 135 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 1: either you at it or as a staff? What have 136 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 1: you told Kenny Golladay he needs to do better to 137 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,039 Speaker 1: earn more snaps than he got meat too? Yeah, we've 138 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,360 Speaker 1: we've been in a good communication with Kenny. He's done 139 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 1: everything we've asked. To be honest with you, he's done it. 140 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,719 Speaker 1: He's done a great job and you know, I think 141 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:36,840 Speaker 1: looking at as a positive, like he wants to be 142 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,039 Speaker 1: out there and he wants to play and contribute. And 143 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:40,920 Speaker 1: I think on a week to week basis, like you, 144 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 1: like Dave's touchdown, where are you valuating those match ups 145 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 1: where you've gotta waiting how to put guys in certain spots? 146 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 1: So it might be not a lot one week, a 147 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,359 Speaker 1: lot more next week, and you know, we'll kind of 148 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,159 Speaker 1: just go a week by week and evaluated. That's the 149 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 1: beauty of our receiver room or now is there's a 150 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:59,279 Speaker 1: lot of competition and Um, they have another opportunity today 151 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 1: to go prove themselves, to add themselves to the game plan. 152 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:03,280 Speaker 1: Do you think? Do you think it's do you think 153 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 1: it's a is it an issue? What if a player 154 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 1: isn't playing and doesn't seem to understand why he's not? Um, 155 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 1: like when? Well, you know, I think that that's been 156 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 1: one big part about Dave's is making sure that, you know, 157 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 1: everything's out there in the open. We we have meetings 158 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 1: with players and and put and let them know exactly 159 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 1: where they stand at any point in time. This is 160 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 1: starting in the spring. Um, they have the ability to 161 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 1: come talk to us and I've had conversations with Kenny 162 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 1: about that and, you know, I feel like we're in 163 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 1: a good place, um, being on the same page with that. 164 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 1: Two snaps, two snaps that he wasn't expanded this week. 165 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 1: You know, we're still we're still in a in a 166 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 1: Thursday practice. We'll still got a long way Togo before Monday. Um, 167 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 1: so you know, we'll continue to evaluate that.
