1 00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you. Obviously, you go week to 2 00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:07,160 Speaker 1: week with your your scheme and your plan, but the 3 00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:11,280 Speaker 1: last two weeks, really the last three weeks with the 4 00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:15,360 Speaker 1: quarterback who you know, like Kyler and especial Lamar, I 5 00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:17,520 Speaker 1: want to get out there. I would imagine you have 6 00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:20,759 Speaker 1: to approach it at differently in all three levels and 7 00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:25,560 Speaker 1: how things come together. Um. Logan was talking about it yesterday, 8 00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,880 Speaker 1: the idea that now the challenges are different. Now at 9 00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:32,520 Speaker 1: all three levels, you face an offense like this, how 10 00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:36,600 Speaker 1: do you approach it? Um? You know, he kind of said, 11 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:38,839 Speaker 1: you know, you throw last week in the trash because 12 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:42,400 Speaker 1: whatever you try to do against Baltimore is not necessarily 13 00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:44,920 Speaker 1: going to be the plan to to go against Dallas. 14 00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,519 Speaker 1: How do you approach that going into this week and 15 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,000 Speaker 1: trying to stop this offense as opposed to what you've 16 00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,919 Speaker 1: done the last couple of weeks. Well, well, I mean 17 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:54,760 Speaker 1: the game plan is going to be different. It's a 18 00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:58,160 Speaker 1: different offense, different people. That That's that's the obvious part 19 00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 1: of it, um. In terms of last week or the 20 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:02,520 Speaker 1: previous weeks. Here, here's the thing I try to do. 21 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,360 Speaker 1: I try to learn from everything, so you know, whether 22 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:07,280 Speaker 1: it's the specifics of a game play or not. There's 23 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,520 Speaker 1: fundamental stuff that has to improve, and so you try 24 00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 1: to take inventory of that and just try to make 25 00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,520 Speaker 1: sure that you know, as we get to practice, you know, yesterday, 26 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,200 Speaker 1: today and tomorrow, we work on the stuff that showed 27 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 1: up in the previous weeks that we know we have 28 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,399 Speaker 1: to get better at. Because here's the bottom line, you know, 29 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,759 Speaker 1: as people talk about Dallas is the focus for our 30 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 1: daily focus is to get better every day. So we 31 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 1: gotta do better job tackling. We gotta do a better job. Um, 32 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,480 Speaker 1: you know, I gotta do a better job coaching it up, 33 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,880 Speaker 1: you know, whether it's the tackling, the scheme whatever. So 34 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:38,160 Speaker 1: like that's why I take from any other previous week. 35 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 1: I'm just trying to learn from that week and what 36 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 1: we could do better. And so I mean, I think 37 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 1: you always have to For me, at least I can 38 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,760 Speaker 1: speak for myself. I'm trying to learn from my past 39 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 1: experiences and try to and see how it could play 40 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 1: into the game. But do you throw away the game plan? 41 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 1: I mean, you could say that, but we do that 42 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 1: every week. Every week is new in the NFL, so 43 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 1: it's definitely gonna be different, different, Um, you're dealing with 44 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 1: a different animal with the skilled players, the offensive lines different, 45 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 1: you know, the scheme is different, but you know it's 46 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 1: still football. We gotta tackle, We've got you know, we 47 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,919 Speaker 1: got player leveraging, coverage, got defend the deep part of the 48 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 1: the field. So a lots of stuff they're still carry 49 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,919 Speaker 1: over no matter what you do is still carry over, right, 50 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 1: And one of the things that that was talked a 51 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 1: lot about when you guys were playing at a high 52 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,360 Speaker 1: level and winning games was disguise and being able to 53 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 1: uh to jump from one from one scheme to another. 54 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 1: Have you have you gotten away from that recently? Have 55 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,240 Speaker 1: quarterbacks caught up to it or or what's what's going 56 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 1: on and can you get back to it? Well, I 57 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 1: think you know disguise. I mean, I don't know too 58 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,120 Speaker 1: many defenses. I mean, if well I've experienced in my 59 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 1: twelve I think it's twelve years in the league. If 60 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 1: you're really really good at what you do and like like, 61 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:48,359 Speaker 1: then you might not disguise if you're but most defensive 62 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 1: disguise no matter who they are. So I think that's 63 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:52,519 Speaker 1: always a part of what we do. You know, whether 64 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 1: it's third down, early down, we're gonna try to disguise. Um, 65 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,399 Speaker 1: I can't speak for what the other offenses are doing 66 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 1: in terms of whether they're we we're not doing a 67 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 1: good job or what have you. I don't I know this. 68 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,360 Speaker 1: We haven't done enough to win, so that's not good 69 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,800 Speaker 1: enough job. But here's the thing in the beauty of 70 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 1: this league. It's week seventeen. We got another opportunity. We're 71 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 1: playing Dallas. You know that stuff is behind us, the 72 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 1: wind lost. Part of it is the lessons learned from 73 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 1: it are stuff that we could carry over to help 74 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 1: us improve for this week. So you know, if disguise 75 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 1: is part of it, then disguise will be part of it. 76 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 1: But I know this, We're gonna go out there practice today, 77 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 1: try to improve. Disguise will will be part of it 78 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 1: in terms of trying to get better at that. But 79 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 1: that's just one faster of what we do and trying 80 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 1: in terms of our improvement. Tom, you know, so believe 81 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 1: at the Dallas Receiving Corps. Obviously when people think of Dallas, 82 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 1: they think of Ezekiel Elliott. But how much of a 83 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 1: challenge is this receiving car? Is it the best one? 84 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 1: You guys in face top to bottom this year, Uh, 85 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 1: top to bottom. I I hate doing that, Ryan because 86 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,120 Speaker 1: you know, you know, I'm trying to get ready for practice. 87 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 1: I don't want to dismiss it, but they're they're good, 88 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 1: They're good. They got you know, they got some skilled 89 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 1: guys that and the thing that shows up to me 90 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 1: is the guys that go in there and block. I mean, 91 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 1: I'm always I'm always fascinated by that, you know, like, okay, 92 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 1: here they are again, all these accolades are they blocking? 93 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 1: When you see that and you know one is being coached. 94 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 1: So you know, I got a lot of respect for 95 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,159 Speaker 1: coach McCarthy. Adam Henry's a good friend of mine, the 96 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 1: wide receivers coach, so I know his toughness and what 97 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 1: he's trying to instill in those guys. So it's a challenge. 98 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 1: It's a challenge. I mean, are the best group we've 99 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 1: seen I was, so I don't I'm not dismissed of 100 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,280 Speaker 1: other groups. I would say they're one of the best. 101 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,679 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, so we got a big challenge 102 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 1: in front of us UM. But again, you know how 103 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 1: it is with Dallas. It starts with the run game, though, 104 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,159 Speaker 1: you know, starts with the run game. Um practice today 105 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 1: as an opportunity for us to get back to what 106 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:44,039 Speaker 1: we gotta do, um stopping the run. Um so, but 107 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:45,480 Speaker 1: it starts with the run game and there and the 108 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,039 Speaker 1: in the backs they have back there, Pollard, Elliott, those 109 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 1: those guys and then also you Talian's adult and when 110 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 1: he gets the checks in there, I mean they're pretty good. Hey, 111 00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 1: I know that the answer on the topic is find 112 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,280 Speaker 1: more complex. I'm an a getting sort of a simple way. 113 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,719 Speaker 1: Do you think posing on sort of figured out your zones? 114 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,239 Speaker 1: It just feels like those intermediate throwers the last three weeks, 115 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 1: they've really been been hitting those with frequency. Uh, figure 116 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 1: out our zones? I mean, like to me, I I 117 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,279 Speaker 1: can't speak for the other team, but there's only there's 118 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 1: I mean, we gotta I gotta do a better job 119 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 1: of coaching, and I gotta do a better job of 120 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,600 Speaker 1: coaching and laying out the plan, and um, I gotta 121 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:25,239 Speaker 1: do a better job of calling it, you know, mixing 122 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:26,840 Speaker 1: in the zone and man and stuff like that. I 123 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 1: don't know if they're figuring it out. I mean it's football. 124 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 1: These guys get paid to you know, so, I mean 125 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,279 Speaker 1: like and they got good players, so they execute so 126 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 1: It's just a matter of I got a coach better, 127 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 1: I gotta do a better job. And you know I'm 128 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 1: working on that every day, just trying to get better, 129 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 1: so you know, hopefully have a good day of practice, 130 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 1: just trying to get their guys on the right spots 131 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,160 Speaker 1: and then you know, all leading towards Sunday where we 132 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 1: can execute. Hey, pat Um, two quick questions. Um. Blake 133 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 1: Martinez said the other day that Um that a lot 134 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 1: of defensive players were not aligned properly when the Ravens motioned, 135 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 1: were shifted before the snap, and I was wondering, why, God, 136 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,720 Speaker 1: why that would be when guys were I would assume 137 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 1: coach to prepare for that, and it wasn't really anything 138 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,279 Speaker 1: different than what they normally did. Well, I can't speak 139 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 1: for Blake, and Blake that Blake, that's Blake speaks for himself. 140 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 1: I know this going into the Cowboys game and starting today, 141 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 1: we gotta walk through here momentarily. I gotta do a 142 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:34,359 Speaker 1: good job of explaining based on formation, based on personnel, 143 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,280 Speaker 1: where we got a line. I gotta do a good 144 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,280 Speaker 1: job with that. I got good, good guys with their 145 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 1: eyes in the right place so that they they're able 146 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 1: to execute. That's my job as a coach. So you 147 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,279 Speaker 1: know that's a big part of what my job description is. 148 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 1: Put them in the right place, get their eyes in 149 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 1: the right place so they could play ball. But I 150 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,280 Speaker 1: can't speak for what Blake said. I mean to me, 151 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 1: I'm I'm getting I'm worried about Dallas right now. And 152 00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 1: I know I know this. They give you formations and 153 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,039 Speaker 1: they leverage you. We gotta get lined up to that stuff, 154 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:03,920 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna do my best to prepare to guys 155 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 1: for that.

I'm curious what you thought, 157 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 1: I mean, you went. You're obviously watched plenty of that 158 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 1: Dallas game the first time. What do you think when 159 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 1: you're watching your defense at that time? You know, it's 160 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 1: funny you watch it, and you know, I'm sure a 161 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 1: lot of you guys have kids, And I'm not comparing 162 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 1: the guys the kids. I'm just talking about the growth 163 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 1: that happens over a certain period of time. And you 164 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,240 Speaker 1: see guys that you know, some places that were there 165 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 1: to make and now they're making those plays or you 166 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 1: know some really to me, not even the places. Letn't 167 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 1: even talk about Let's talk about just awareness, like some 168 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 1: of the situational awareness, informational awareness like stuff like that. 169 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 1: That's what shows up over time. I think I mentioned 170 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,080 Speaker 1: it earlier in the year. It takes time to build 171 00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 1: a defense and to build all those things that are 172 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 1: intertwined and with then you know, starting to play good football. 173 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 1: You know, because again you could be the most physical. Yeah, okay, 174 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 1: you can have the right call, you know. I don't 175 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 1: know how many calls coordinates around the league are calling 176 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 1: to be unsound. It's about the guys knowing how to execute, 177 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 1: when the execute, and having some recognition of the people 178 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 1: in the situation. And when you look at games earlier 179 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 1: in the year and you see the growth as it goes, 180 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 1: you can really see that it jumps off the tape 181 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 1: um in terms of when you're when you're watching that. 182 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 1: So that's always That's one thing I did know this Jordan, 183 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 1: when I'm looking at him, like, these guys have improved 184 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:33,840 Speaker 1: as football players. But that usually happens, you know, especially 185 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:35,960 Speaker 1: when you're dealing with a young group. They get they 186 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,599 Speaker 1: get better with experience. Well that's why I asked you 187 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,199 Speaker 1: because I was kind of wondering. You know, this is 188 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 1: your one of your defense. Here our defense, our defense. 189 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 1: They are defense. You want to take credit for it, 190 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 1: I guess. But you know where are you in the 191 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 1: overall progression of this defense? Is it still in its 192 00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 1: infantile stages in your mind? Are you there? Is there 193 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 1: a lot more that you see, you can add, it 194 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,839 Speaker 1: can grow infanty. I do like that words. So I 195 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,560 Speaker 1: see when I hear good words like incorporating later on, 196 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:14,960 Speaker 1: so be ready. Um, it's not stealing as remember, um, 197 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 1: where we at? Here's the thing. I want to be 198 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 1: playing our best football post things given that's how you 199 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 1: look at when I start the when we start the season, 200 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 1: and uh, you know what when the league starts in 201 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 1: April or what have you? So like right now, you 202 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 1: know like, here's the thing. We got an opportunity we need, 203 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,640 Speaker 1: we need our best game on Sunday. I know that. Um. 204 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 1: So where we at, I mean, I mean there's there's 205 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,120 Speaker 1: so much room for growth in terms of you know, 206 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 1: whether it's the scheme, whether it's um, let's get more 207 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 1: comfortable with one another. I can't tell you what stage 208 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,839 Speaker 1: were in, but I know this in terms of how 209 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 1: I've talked to you guys the whole time. We gotta 210 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 1: be playing our best ball at post Thanksgiving, Like we 211 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 1: need our best game on Sunday. We need our best 212 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 1: game on Sunday, O most physical game, our most sound execution. 213 00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:00,840 Speaker 1: We gotta start fast. Um, we can't and be worried about, 214 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 1: you know, anything that's not We can't be worried about 215 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 1: anything other than the Cowboys and trying to execute. And 216 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:08,840 Speaker 1: I would say in terms of the process, I mean, 217 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 1: I know this, the guys trying to get better every 218 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 1: day and work to get better every day. That's a 219 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,559 Speaker 1: big part of my evaluation. Um at the end of 220 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:17,240 Speaker 1: the year when I'm looking at do we do we 221 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 1: try to achieve that goal. And so I mean, I 222 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 1: can't tell you what stage of the process to be 223 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 1: honest with you, Jordan's but we do need our best 224 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 1: We need our best effort this week, last one here Schwartz, 225 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 1: Hey Patrick, Happy New Year, Happy new year. Thank you. Um. 226 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:36,040 Speaker 1: You spend a year with Mike McCarthy. Um, do you 227 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:39,320 Speaker 1: have um any insight into him as far as you know, 228 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,160 Speaker 1: what did he do to help you keep your career going? 229 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,840 Speaker 1: And also do you see things in this Cowboy offense 230 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,080 Speaker 1: that maybe in the back of your head or the 231 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,280 Speaker 1: front of your head you say, Okay, I recognize that 232 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,200 Speaker 1: maybe I can do something with that. Um yeah, I 233 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 1: mean coach McCarthy. I mean I had a great time 234 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 1: with him in Green Bay. We didn't win a lot 235 00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:58,199 Speaker 1: of games, but like I had a good till I 236 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,960 Speaker 1: respect for him. He's a very smart uh man um 237 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 1: and tells you good football man. And then the big 238 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,360 Speaker 1: thing for me is like how he sees the run 239 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,120 Speaker 1: game in terms of the necessity of the run game, 240 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:12,319 Speaker 1: the necessity of a certain amount of carries, the necessity 241 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 1: of or seeing the correlation between the run game and success. 242 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,400 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, because you think about it, like 243 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:21,319 Speaker 1: all those years from Afar, Aaron Rodgers, Mike McCarthy, you're 244 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 1: thinking past game, pass game. And then you could go 245 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,240 Speaker 1: back to two thousand and six team when we lost 246 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 1: in the playoff game, it was because of the run game. 247 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 1: When they got in twenty personnel, it was the third 248 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,400 Speaker 1: quarter and they hit a couple of runs, they were 249 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:33,720 Speaker 1: backed up. I mean, like it's the run game where 250 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:35,960 Speaker 1: I he I really think he stands out and not 251 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:37,599 Speaker 1: not to discredit what you know, it was about the 252 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 1: past game. I mean, that's obvious, but I think you know, 253 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:42,679 Speaker 1: you see the influence there in terms of now that 254 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:44,559 Speaker 1: you know Dallas has always been able to run the ball, 255 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 1: but just you know the timing of it. You know 256 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:50,960 Speaker 1: that that's what stands out to me. Thank you, no problem, 257 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:57,840 Speaker 1: I cut you off. I just got practice, Dion. I'm joking. 258 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 1: I'm just good. You know, Pat just Um, your head coach, 259 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 1: said after the game on Sunday, that you guys made 260 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 1: defensive adjustments in the second half that worked, and he 261 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,679 Speaker 1: wished that you guys have gone to them earlier. Do 262 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:15,960 Speaker 1: you what is the challenge in making adjustments early in 263 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 1: the game. If what you've worked on all week, maybe 264 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 1: the other team has counted it and it's not working. 265 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,760 Speaker 1: How do you feel like you've done that? All right? 266 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 1: I'm trying to trying to dissect it. I think the 267 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,560 Speaker 1: thing is three questions. Let's just try to figure this out. 268 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:34,600 Speaker 1: You know, you think you're making adjustments. You know you're good. Um. 269 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:37,319 Speaker 1: So adjustment was like, we we gotta make adjustment when 270 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 1: as soon as possible, that's what we gotta do. And like, 271 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 1: you know, a game when we don't do that, that's 272 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 1: that's on me. Um as far as uh really the 273 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,760 Speaker 1: Baltimore games. The Baltimore game, obviously we didn't win, so 274 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:49,720 Speaker 1: obviously didn't do a good enough job. But justin but 275 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 1: and I can't speak for Joe, but for me, like 276 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,480 Speaker 1: my thing is, it's a constant game of adjustment. That's 277 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,679 Speaker 1: what we get paid to do. That's why, you know, 278 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,600 Speaker 1: the pressure of being an NFL the those guys are 279 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 1: one and thirty two, whether it's the coordinator, the quarterback, 280 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,840 Speaker 1: however you look at it. Um, it's my job to adjust. 281 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 1: And I gotta do a better job this week because 282 00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 1: I know this, Mike McCarthy, the O, c Adam Henry, 283 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 1: all these guys over there there, they're going to do 284 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 1: a good job of okay, seeing what we do, adjusting 285 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,040 Speaker 1: to it, and we gotta play the game back with them. 286 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:18,840 Speaker 1: I just got to do a better job and you know, 287 00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 1: get that information to players and hopefully we execute at 288 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,000 Speaker 1: a high level and play our best game on Sunday.
