1
00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 1: What was your evaluation of a poony in the game?

2
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:05,320
Speaker 2: Good?

3
00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:08,400
Speaker 3: He's been He's played well. He's kind of been consistent

4
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:11,079
Speaker 3: throughout the way he started camp and has continued to

5
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:13,320
Speaker 3: work every week. It's been pretty consistent performers. So he

6
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 3: did everything we saw him doing practicing did in the game.

7
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:19,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, he pulled on that on the touchdown. I mean

8
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:21,600
Speaker 1: that's something that you do a lot with banks. I mean,

9
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 1: is he is he good at that? Is that something

10
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:24,640
Speaker 1: that's good?

11
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:26,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's got some I mean there's some things about

12
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 3: him moving to move inside.

13
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 2: There's some little things that he.

14
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 3: Needs to work on, and pulling is going to be

15
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:32,200
Speaker 3: one of them. But he's done a really good job

16
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:34,560
Speaker 3: and everything he's developing in all his areas. He's very

17
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:37,160
Speaker 3: diligent in studying and what to do next and listening

18
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:39,239
Speaker 3: and taking coaching and he's doing a nice job. But

19
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 3: that is going to be something you have to work on.

20
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 3: Chris Hubbard, how did he grade out?

21
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 4: And can he play comfortably both sides?

22
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 2: Chris can play both sides.

23
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:50,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's where we're working him primarily on the left

24
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 3: because he's more he's uncomfortable there.

25
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 2: He's more comfortable on the right side in my opinion,

26
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 2: So we have.

27
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 3: Decided to dedicate those two guys kind of opposite where

28
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:00,959
Speaker 3: they're used to doing, he and Harker, and then if

29
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 3: we get to whichever, however the thing shakes out, when

30
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 3: if one of them is here to be a swing

31
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 3: or something like that, it would be they could go

32
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 3: back to working both.

33
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:09,400
Speaker 2: But right now it kind of I think they can.

34
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 3: I can let them put their best foot forward working

35
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 3: in his position to get better where their weaknesses are.

36
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 3: And also they'd stay in one spot every single day

37
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,400
Speaker 3: he performed, he performed well, you know there was every

38
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 3: player would like a few plays back, and I think

39
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 3: Hubbard would would like one or two back for.

40
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 4: Sure, as Jalen played enough. At this point we're missing

41
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 4: that game for being ill. Is not that big a deal.

42
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it the first pre season game he

43
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 3: was going to play the series, so it end up

44
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 3: play like eleven or eleven play drive, wasn't it. The

45
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,559
Speaker 3: penalty was the twelfth play, so he had eleven plays.

46
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:40,320
Speaker 3: I mean, for what that's worth, I think I shared

47
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 3: it last week. It is there's something to that full

48
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,320
Speaker 3: speed work that, regardless of when you get it, you

49
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 3: do need it at some point. It's not like he's

50
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 3: what he did, whatever the date was, is going to

51
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 3: make a difference opening day, but it does in the big.

52
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 2: Scheme of things.

53
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 5: I got kind of a big picture run game question,

54
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 5: you know, last year with Christian winning the NFL rushing

55
00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 5: title for the year, kind of goes under the raidar

56
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 5: when you're in the middle of a Super Bowl run.

57
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 5: Is there a way that you guys kind of honored

58
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 5: it or celebrated it, and then how what's it going

59
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 5: to take to kind of repeat that.

60
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know if the guys did anything. We

61
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 2: don't do.

62
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 3: You know, we're congratulations all those honors because so many

63
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 3: guys that a lot of good players in this team

64
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:14,799
Speaker 3: and want a lot of things.

65
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:16,799
Speaker 2: We don't do anything for that. Say, he went in

66
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 2: is a rushing title.

67
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 3: I know that he did take care of the guys

68
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:21,359
Speaker 3: at Christmas or I don't know, there's something there was

69
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 3: a gift or something.

70
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, so line coach didn't see it, but all the

71
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,679
Speaker 2: players did. I don't do any blocking, so I don't

72
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,679
Speaker 2: deserve any of them, but I don't like off so but.

73
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:34,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, he definitely, Uh, he's we all obviously congratulations go around,

74
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 3: But it's nothing big like that for for the individual merit, and.

75
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,080
Speaker 5: Then what's it going to take to just kind of

76
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 5: repeat that success, you.

77
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 3: Know, I mean it's different. The cliche answer is a

78
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 3: cliche for a reason. I mean, every year it's a

79
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 3: brand new year. You have to get out there and

80
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 3: start doing things and and see where it goes. I mean,

81
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 3: how defenses play you. There's so many different things that

82
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 3: can come into it. That that how well your quarterback plays,

83
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:55,639
Speaker 3: if your receivers are healthy, that you can throw the

84
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 3: ball and keep them off your running game, and there's

85
00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 3: just so many, so many things. I mean, you look

86
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 3: at the run we had to open in Pittsburgh. We

87
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:03,799
Speaker 3: watched it the other day and the big fifty or

88
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 3: six yeard run start in second half, and it was

89
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 3: an incredible run with incredible Maybe maybe that guy tackles

90
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:10,519
Speaker 3: him this year and you have four or five of

91
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 3: those in the.

92
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 2: Unit, it looks different.

93
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 3: You just don't know how it goes and and how

94
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 3: the season plays out. We were able to get a

95
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 3: lot of runs in the fourth quarter of games, is

96
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 3: Shuel were a lot of games that we don't have

97
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 3: a lot of two minute drives. We sure have a

98
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 3: lot of you know, trying to kill the clock at

99
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 3: the end of the game.

100
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 2: In the past, sometimes rotated guys at a position. One

101
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 2: are the benefits of that for a young guy. Oh,

102
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 2: it's huge job. And I don't even know why.

103
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 3: I don't know how I prepare, how I decide to

104
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 3: do it. But you can kind of tell I even

105
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 3: did it. Uh with Feliciano, who I didn't think. I

106
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 3: didn't think Burford I don't think is going to play

107
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 3: as much in the in the it was a Green

108
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 3: Bay game in the playoffs. But also I noticed, I said,

109
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 3: ninety seven was giving him some issues. So instead of

110
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 3: getting in a routine of rushing John Feliciana, he puts

111
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 3: Burford in there and the defender has to deal with

112
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 3: a different guy. For young players, that that was the sidelite.

113
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 3: It can help anybody. For a young player, what is

114
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,839
Speaker 3: is those plays start mounting up where you start doing

115
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 3: some bad that you get out and just take a

116
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 3: step away. It stops whatever's going on and you get

117
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 3: to go back in and restart. That guy then has

118
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 3: to deal with a different player, and over the course

119
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 3: of time. Usually what happens is you have a veteran

120
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 3: player and a younger player. The younger player who you

121
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 3: think has more talent. That's why you're alternating. He's just

122
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 3: not quite ready to play sixty plays a game, and

123
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 3: our position is won. Like some other positions on the field.

124
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 3: That defensive line, for example, you can get a rookie

125
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 3: twenty thirty forty plays because they rotate so much. That's

126
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 3: what starters do. Offensive lineman, you can't. People think it's

127
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 3: you shouldn't. I know you can do it, and it does.

128
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 3: That's a great way to work a player in just

129
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 3: because he doesn't get exposed. Analytics was were they would

130
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 3: say every time we took him out, they were saying,

131
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 3: that was about the time his play was starting to

132
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 3: do this. Now, I'm not saying I did it because

133
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,160
Speaker 3: that I kind of had a in my mind.

134
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:44,039
Speaker 2: Two serious three series.

135
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 3: But you can kind of feel that, and you talk

136
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,359
Speaker 3: to theimut the sidew You feel that things are getting

137
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:47,720
Speaker 3: little loose.

138
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:49,039
Speaker 2: Let's bring them back over here.

139
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:50,599
Speaker 3: And they stand for a minute, catch their breath, and

140
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 3: they can usually get back into a rhythm.

141
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 2: I just preached the continuity.

142
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 3: When did you first maybe do that with the figuring

143
00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 3: out how it was worth well.

144
00:04:59,440 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 2: Here's what I saw.

145
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,160
Speaker 3: I saw and when I was with the Vikings, we

146
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,839
Speaker 3: drafted a rookie tackle that I watched him be completely destroyed,

147
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 3: like just day, week after week, game after game. He

148
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,160
Speaker 3: wasn't quite good enough, he wasn't quite ready, and by

149
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,159
Speaker 3: mid to the end of season he went an ir because

150
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 3: he just was he was beat up. He was just

151
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 3: hanging on for dear life. And we didn't have somebody

152
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 3: to rotate, but we talked to it. We did have

153
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 3: somebody that would have helped him.

154
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 2: You know. When I went to.

155
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 3: Tampa, we drafted ah we had a veteran player there

156
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 3: at right tackle that came from another team, and we

157
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 3: had a right tackle that I thought could be as good,

158
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:32,840
Speaker 3: and we just started we just started rotating. That was

159
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 3: the first time I did it, was back and I

160
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:35,679
Speaker 3: think we were an Orange. I think it was nineteen

161
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 3: ninety six. I did it, and then I did it

162
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 3: again in Baltimore, and I did a couple of different places

163
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,159
Speaker 3: where it's been managed through it. We've been lucky, you

164
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 3: know that it's worked out, but it does. It's worked

165
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,160
Speaker 3: out that way that you can help the development.

166
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: Where do things stand at backup?

167
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 3: Shenna well, right now, it's you know, you have Barti

168
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:56,840
Speaker 3: and Sekel that are batting out with Nugent there as well.

169
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 2: You got three guys there.

170
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 3: They can do it, and that will work the backup

171
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 3: and we'll see how it plays out as the year

172
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 3: goes on. Sekel obviously took the starting reps. I would

173
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 3: say that if you looked at him and said what

174
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 3: Cekel's strengths and what barches are I think that Sekel

175
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 3: is probably playing a little bit better. Center suited him better,

176
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 3: and guard probably suits barts better and not the other

177
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 3: one who plays. That's the first game Sequl's ever played

178
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,719
Speaker 3: in a game center and it was that was it

179
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 3: uh in college anywhere?

180
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 2: So and I'd stayd that. So I give him the

181
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 2: edge right now.

182
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 3: But they're both right there because then if he moves

183
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 3: to Kel to guard, Bart's the center.

184
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 2: It just depends on what you're looking at.

185
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:33,280
Speaker 3: You look at, say, okay, one of those guys will

186
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 3: be your third or fourth guard, backup center. It's just

187
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 3: it's a lot of pieces board moving there. But right

188
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 3: that's what it sits.

189
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,359
Speaker 1: Right now, you decided who's going to play what in

190
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 1: against the Saints.

191
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 3: No, I mean, we kind of I briefly talked about it.

192
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 3: I think some of it leads up to discussions on

193
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,159
Speaker 3: the last game. Because you have a small window of

194
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,159
Speaker 3: time between Sunday and Friday. Is you have to be

195
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 3: careful how many guys you want to playing. So you

196
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 3: look forward to that game and you work back and say, okay,

197
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 3: if we have a lot of a lot of players

198
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,040
Speaker 3: playing in that game, then maybe not as many. This

199
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 3: week is a short turnaround. You don't want to give

200
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 3: him a dag up a short week in the preseason

201
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 3: if you can help it.

202
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:07,600
Speaker 2: First, what does Kingston look like to you?

203
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 3: He's getting better all the time, He's improved. I ring

204
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 3: out of love about these young guys. John Lynch and

205
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 3: I were talking about this morning. Is these guys are

206
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 3: really they're working hard to improve and they've made they've

207
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 3: made some good strides. It's not it's a tribute to them,

208
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 3: not to me, and we just do what we do.

209
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 3: We go out there to do the same thing every day.

210
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 3: But these guys have grabbed onto it and he has

211
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 3: gotten better. The things that we saw that were limitations

212
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 3: with him were we felt were fixable, and so he's

213
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 3: been able to fix some of them. It's still not consistent. Uh,

214
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 3: but it's gotten better. So they were things that were

215
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 3: they get addressed, you know, and we addressed him and

216
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 3: he's he's address him.

217
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 2: Which is good.

218
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 3: Sometimes it's hard to break a habit, and we've talked

219
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 3: about it in here before, where you know those those

220
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 3: in a game when you start creating bad habits.

221
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 2: Are hard to break.

222
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 3: And these guys, over the course of their college career,

223
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 3: have some bad habits that you have to break. And

224
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 3: the things he had wrong he's really fixed. And so

225
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 3: that's helped elevate his game. Every week guard or more

226
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 3: tackle more guard. He's played tackle out of necessity and

227
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 3: uh and and can still in the pinch. But he's

228
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 3: really he's a guard, although he's got to he's got issues.

229
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 3: He's got to work on his anchor and things like

230
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 3: that inside because he doesn't you know, there's pluses of

231
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 3: minds that both positions for him.

232
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 2: So he's got to make up some space at guard

233
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 2: to get better there.

234
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 4: You ran the ball so well with Mason on the

235
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 4: opening series and then it was considerably tougher for Schrader

236
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 4: and and Brita. Was that just being behind a second line,

237
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 4: were there things they didn't see that Mason did see.

238
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 2: No, we didn't block. We didn't block. We didn't block

239
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 2: well at all. We didn't block.

240
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 3: We all and and I and I want to get

241
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 3: you know, I would tell me it's no, it's look,

242
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 3: we're we're down, and it's not. These aren't excuses, it's

243
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 3: an explanation for me. I'm looking at saying why, holy cow. Well, really,

244
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:41,079
Speaker 3: at the end of the day, when you take Trent

245
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 3: uh Jalen, Feliciano and Burford of the equation, you've taken

246
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 3: four or five people that really started caliber players. So

247
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 3: all of a sudden, your starting group becomes a little

248
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 3: bit more of a second tier group, and then you're

249
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 3: the next group becomes more of a you know, later

250
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 3: in the game group. And so by that point, that

251
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 3: second third quarter, they we weren't. It was a good

252
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,559
Speaker 3: challenge for those guys. It was good to watch against

253
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 3: that caliber player they probably wouldn't see in the fourth

254
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 3: quarter of the game when most of them would have

255
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,439
Speaker 3: been playing. Everybody's been pushed up to play at a

256
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:08,679
Speaker 3: little bit higher level than what they would have if

257
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,079
Speaker 3: our starters were here, all healthy in there in playing.

258
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:12,679
Speaker 2: So it's been a it's huge.

259
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 3: It's benefit, but the drawback is they're put in there

260
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 3: in situations and we didn't give the backs enough good looks. Fortunately,

261
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:20,560
Speaker 3: and we'll see how this week's a whole different thing.

262
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:22,959
Speaker 2: We'll protect it. We protected decently.

263
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 3: I mean, it was decent that the last and the

264
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,079
Speaker 3: fourth quarter got a little bit looser the two tackles,

265
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 3: but but we protected good enough, which then at least

266
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 3: we could do that, you know, because we weren't running

267
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 3: the ball very well.

268
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 1: It used to be that defenses didn't do a lot

269
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 1: of blitzing in the preseason. I guess that's changed somewhat recently.

270
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 1: How do you feel about that? I mean, are you

271
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 1: sort of glad that the Titans blitched quite a bit

272
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 1: just to give your guys?

273
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:49,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, I do.

274
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 3: I remember I was in Baltimore with Rex Ryan and

275
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 3: Brian Billick. There was always discussion in Rex Ryan was,

276
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,079
Speaker 3: you know, he'd throw the kitchen sink at everybody, and

277
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:58,079
Speaker 3: they always have a discussion do we show them what

278
00:09:58,120 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 3: we do or do we not show them?

279
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 2: Hold it till the season, and Brian was like, you know.

280
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 3: Do everything in the preseason because that means everybody has

281
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 3: to prepare for everything. Sometimes you realize in the fourth

282
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 3: course some of these games defense courters are calling things

283
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:11,559
Speaker 3: just they know you're going to play them in two

284
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:13,680
Speaker 3: weeks that you have to prep for, not not in

285
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 3: the regular season, but in the preseason because you don't

286
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:16,839
Speaker 3: have a lot of tape on them, so you're scouring.

287
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:18,679
Speaker 3: We're gonna work on all these blitzes and then may

288
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 3: never do it again that all year. So sometimes it's

289
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,719
Speaker 3: a prep time some people. Every defense courding uses different things.

290
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 3: My philosophy is, I want to see everything we can see.

291
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 3: I want those guys to be prepped in In other words,

292
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 3: if Poony, if whoever these guys are that we're trying

293
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 3: to evaluate, If they just see one front, one defense

294
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 3: all the time, what evaluation are getting other than their

295
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,359
Speaker 3: physical This gives them a mental challenge.

296
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 2: Thank you, guys,
