1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:01,760
Speaker 1: Right and encourage others to raise your hand if you

2
00:00:01,760 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 1: have questions for the Marcus good morning to Marcus, morning

3
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:09,520
Speaker 1: to Jim, how are you doing good? How are you great? Hey?

4
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 1: So I one day I ask you about Christian barmore

5
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 1: Um and just what you've seen from him this year.

6
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:15,600
Speaker 1: I know you know that those interior guys, they don't

7
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:19,479
Speaker 1: they don't always put up the stats, but that doesn't

8
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 1: necessarily indicate the performance, and I'm just wondering what you've

9
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:25,320
Speaker 1: seen from him in his second year. Yeah, Christian has

10
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 1: been doing a great job for us. He's been playing

11
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 1: well for us in earlier downs and then third down.

12
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 1: He's been doing a good job and doing his role

13
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 1: within the defense, and he's getting better every day, every

14
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 1: you know, every game for us. So we're excited to

15
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:40,639
Speaker 1: have him out there inside him that he's a part

16
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 1: of our football team. And you know, he's a player

17
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 1: that can do a lot of different things for us,

18
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:49,840
Speaker 1: which is good. If you've seen maybe a specific area

19
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 1: where he's really improved this season, well, like I said,

20
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 1: he's improved. He's taking steps to improve in something every week,

21
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 1: and each week chief's gotten even gotten better. And so

22
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 1: that's what we were looking for for him to continue

23
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 1: to get better every week as the season go on

24
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 1: to you know, as we moved out of the first

25
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 1: quarter of the season going into the you know, second

26
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 1: quarter of the season, just for him to keep on improving.

27
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 1: And if one more kind of non football question, if

28
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: you don't mind, um we see you one of the

29
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 1: steps in the pregame here that where that tradition started.

30
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: And was that you know, did you get that from

31
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:28,960
Speaker 1: another coach or did you just and what does that

32
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: do for your pregame kind of get stress away or

33
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 1: what's that way? Yeah, when I first got here six

34
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 1: years ago, m I started doing it because Brendan Daily,

35
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: Chattio and Brian Flores stayed already in the stadiums and

36
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: that was a part of the routine for away games.

37
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: And so they brought me along a part of the

38
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: crew as you know, those other guys that they went

39
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: on took other jobs, and so I kept up to tradition.

40
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: So myself, Joe Kim and Drew our chaplain now kind

41
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: of does it with us. So keeping that traditional live

42
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: that you know, Chattio and Brendan Daily and Brian Flores started,

43
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: you know when I first got here they were doing

44
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: it already and so that it's a it's a part

45
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 1: of our routine of very away game that I go

46
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: to uh to do the stadiums and do push ups

47
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: and apps and kind of you know, it's for me,

48
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: it's a hurry up and wait wait, wait, wait around

49
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,239
Speaker 1: or ready for the game. So it allows me to

50
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: get a good workout in to buy some time before

51
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: the game starts. And you know, so at the same

52
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: time I like to work out. Thank you, Thank you.

53
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 1: Next question, Chris, Ryan fallow Back, Bob Socie de Marcus.

54
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: How are you gonna get how you doing good? Um

55
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 1: just posentially your analysis of where things are at for

56
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 1: you know, the run defense at this point. Adrian, you're

57
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: joined us yesterday and identified that as being kind of

58
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: the biggest area that you guys need to improve upon.

59
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: What's your analysis there and how does it get better? Yeah? So,

60
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: I mean obviously, you know, these past two games we

61
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: haven't been that rate within our run defense. Um so,

62
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 1: but you know, there's always room for improvement and everything.

63
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: So that's what we're going to try to do, try

64
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: to move forward and try to get better in those

65
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: areas which we've done that already before. If you look

66
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: at the first two games, we've done it before. Um,

67
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: we'll get back right And it all starts on the

68
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,079
Speaker 1: practice field by us just doing our job, and it

69
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 1: all starts with fundamentals and the technique. So we do

70
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 1: a better job with fundamentals and the technique, we'll do

71
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: a better job in the run game, which we're definitely

72
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: going to get it corrective. You look at you know

73
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: the run game, is it? Is it point of contact

74
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: of the offensive line? Is it the is it the rushers,

75
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 1: particularly from the responsibility the other defensive line. Where are

76
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 1: the specific areas where you feel like that that need improvement.

77
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: I would say us as a unit, the whole unit,

78
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: we all need to get better at the in the

79
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:54,839
Speaker 1: running game. And so for for us again like I said,

80
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 1: it starts, uh, you know Wednesday when we get out

81
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: there on the practice field, you know, identify and using

82
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: our fundamentals and technique, continue to build on that and

83
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 1: play with proper technique, run thementals come to the game

84
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: and just your analysis on the Lions rushers, I was

85
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 1: the swift really good after contact? What's the challenge of

86
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: those guys presented? Yeah, number one, Number one in a

87
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 1: lot of categories. So so you know, number one offense,

88
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,119
Speaker 1: number one rushing average, a good amount of rushing yards

89
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 1: per game, per yard and everything. So they do. So

90
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 1: they got two talented backs, they got a really good

91
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 1: experience and good offensive alignment. So for us, we definitely

92
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: got to do a good job preparing for these guys,

93
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: and we got to do a good job of handling

94
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: and running back in the offensive line. Thanks, thank you.

95
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: The next question Bob Socie, Thanks Stacy, Good morning to Marcus.

96
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 1: How you doing a good morning? Good good. I just

97
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 1: stole little my thunder. I was gonna ask about the

98
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: Lions rushing attack overall, but you mentioned two bats and

99
00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: Gander Swift has got a lot of attention early but

100
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 1: out last week, and Jamal Williams played very well for them.

101
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: How do you describe each individually and how they kind

102
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: of fit into what they're doing with their running scheme. Yeah,

103
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I would say both of those they do

104
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: a good job of getting the ball at downhill, and

105
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:16,599
Speaker 1: they do a good job of running behind their pads

106
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: and running hard, and you know, and when you look

107
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: at their offensive line, you know that they built that

108
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,599
Speaker 1: offensive line with you know, they got like three first

109
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: round draft picks with on the offensive line, and they

110
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 1: do a really good job of just you know, heling

111
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 1: it down guys. They do a good job of double

112
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 1: team and they do a good job of working up

113
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: to the second level. And the running backs have good

114
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 1: patience and vision and hit the hit the whole art.

115
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 1: And so for us, again, it's it starts, you know,

116
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: for our fundamentals, the technique, having good you know fundamentals

117
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 1: the technique and awareness other running game and who's in

118
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:55,479
Speaker 1: the game on that and without Lawrence last week and

119
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 1: really the better part of the Baltimore game, how do

120
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 1: you guys trying to compensate for his laws And how

121
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 1: difficult is it to try to fill in for a

122
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 1: player not only of his caliber but also of his

123
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:14,039
Speaker 1: leadership on the field defensively? Yeah, um, yeah, absolutely, Lawrence

124
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: is is a great player for us and can do

125
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 1: a good job for especially on early downs. And uh,

126
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:24,919
Speaker 1: it's it's an opportunity for other guys to step up, um,

127
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 1: And we have you know, we have some good players

128
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: within the defensive line room, um that bring you know,

129
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: different tools to the to the to their to the game.

130
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 1: And so for for him being out UM allows for

131
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: other players to get more playing time and get players

132
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:44,600
Speaker 1: really to show their um, you know, their tools and

133
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: what they can do to help us out as a

134
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 1: defense and as a defensive line unit. So that's what

135
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,279
Speaker 1: we're looking for, those players, you know, next man up mentality.

136
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,039
Speaker 1: We got a lot of talent within the room. We

137
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 1: just got to go play to it all right to

138
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: Mark stinks a lot. Thank you, Steeming. The other hands raised,

139
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 1: so thank you very much, Marcus, thank you
