It's 29 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 1: it's a you know, situational defensive coverage that worked pretty 30 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:29,880 Speaker 1: well some games last year. And uh, you know it's 31 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,959 Speaker 1: it's it's man under and three deep, and you know 32 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,920 Speaker 1: at that time, you're playing the clock. You know, you're 33 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,039 Speaker 1: not playing you know the offense. You're playing the clock. 34 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:39,839 Speaker 1: You're trying to they had no time out. You're trying 35 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 1: to tackle them in bounce, which makes them put you know, 36 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 1: panic and go into a hurry up hail Mary if 37 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 1: you will. But it just didn't work. 38 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 2: Out that way. What did you think that the Cavan 39 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 2: off sides? I know, he didn't seem to think that 40 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 2: he was off side there. 41 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 1: I support cave on if he didn't think that. I 42 00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 1: don't think that. But they called day through the flag 43 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,560 Speaker 1: that many a time standing up there. I don't think 44 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:04,560 Speaker 1: Roger Goodell is going to say, hey, hold on a second, 45 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 1: you know, but you know I think that you know, 46 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,920 Speaker 1: you still you're talking about a guy that's a young 47 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:15,360 Speaker 1: player in this league, and you know he knows situational football. 48 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:19,680 Speaker 2: He's mad at himself that it was even in question. 49 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:24,360 Speaker 1: And you know, credit to credit to the Jets. They 50 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 1: made some plays there at. 51 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 2: The end of the game to win the game. I 52 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 2: was playing improved every snap the last couple of games. 53 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 2: How comfortably argue with that work? Is that sustainable? And 54 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 2: what to say about him? And he's able to do it? 55 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,079 Speaker 2: I think there's other guys in the league that play 56 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 2: a lot of reps. You know. 57 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 1: The good thing is is that he's young. Do you 58 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:43,800 Speaker 1: want him to play all those reps? 59 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 4: No? 60 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 1: But you know, sometimes is the way the game works out. 61 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 1: Do you want to have a play where he's not 62 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 1: out there and that that's you know, a testament to 63 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 1: how well he's playing. So you know you say, hey, 64 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 1: let's rest him and then or getting back in there, 65 00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,360 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And it's a it's a 66 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 1: a thing that you know, he's he's been working his 67 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 1: tail off. You know, we talked about pass rush a 68 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 1: month ago, and you know, when you're developing pass rushers, 69 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 1: it's it's not a just a straight arrow. Usually it's 70 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 1: a roller coaster, right, and developing those guys. But with 71 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 1: him and you know, and working with Drew and and 72 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 1: you know, consistently studying everything, You're seeing the growth of 73 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,360 Speaker 1: him as a pass rusher. And I'm really happy for 74 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:26,959 Speaker 1: I'm really happy for the guy. 75 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 2: What's he doing better as a pass rusher? 76 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 1: Say that you know is uh everything from a classroom 77 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 1: in there with Drew and studying his studying the tackles 78 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 1: and and he's perfecting his his moves and counters and 79 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 1: things like that, and he's taking advantage of situations when 80 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 1: he gets in one on one. And uh, Jordan, I 81 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 1: just think that, like you guys know how I feel 82 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 1: about Cavon. I say, I stand up here and say 83 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 1: it every day. I told him, Hell, I feel like 84 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 1: I'm his attorney sometimes standing up here. 85 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 2: But uh, I really do. 86 00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 1: I think that the guys, he's a great person and 87 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 1: and you know he's he's becoming a leader of this 88 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 1: defense as well, you know, And uh, I think that, 89 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 1: you know, his hard work's really paying. 90 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 2: Off for him when you look at what. 91 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 5: Dexter has been able to do over the course of 92 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 5: you know, last season and now this year. But the 93 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 5: stretch that he's on right now statistically, people talk about 94 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 5: pressures and what he's been able to do for a 95 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 5: guy who's lined up essentially over at the nose, For 96 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 5: all the great ones that you've coached, can you put 97 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,360 Speaker 5: into perspective where Dexter is right now and what he's 98 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 5: been able to accomplish. 99 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 1: Well, Because I'm here and now and he's here and now, 100 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 1: he's the best I've ever seen. I think that when 101 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 1: I retired and we're drinking a glass of wine down 102 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 1: in Florida, you can ask me that question, but I 103 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 1: tell you the guy is he really is. He's unbelievable. 104 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 1: And it's like a man that big shouldn't be that athletic. Uh, 105 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,600 Speaker 1: you know, we can all say that when you watch him, 106 00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 1: it's just he's uh, he's he's playing at a high level. 107 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 1: He's very confident what he can do. And and just 108 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 1: like you know, just like I said, cave On, every year, 109 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 1: you know, and every day that that that that. 110 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,360 Speaker 2: We spent with him, and dres you know, dres Or 111 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 2: his tail off with him as well. 112 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 1: The assistants have done a great job defensively developing these 113 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 1: younger guys. Look at Micah as an inside backer, you know, 114 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 1: now it's not the same extreme as far as what 115 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:26,799 Speaker 1: you're talking about with Dex, But Dex is he's he's 116 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 1: a freak, He's a freaking nature. 117 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 2: How do you prepare for receiver like DeVante Adams? 118 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 1: Well, I've said this before, Pat, you know, I said 119 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:38,840 Speaker 1: he's one of the top two receivers in the league, 120 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:42,279 Speaker 1: and he's not number two. I think that guy is 121 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,039 Speaker 1: you can have three people on him and he'll still 122 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:49,840 Speaker 1: come up with a catch. And you know, he's a competitor, 123 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 1: and I think that it's it's going to be a 124 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,920 Speaker 1: great challenge for us, you know this weekend? 125 00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,720 Speaker 2: Important is it when a player so glad you got 126 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 2: your questioning kid should be cut off like six times 127 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,280 Speaker 2: and look at it. I appreciate it. 128 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 6: How how important is it that a player with with 129 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 6: Thibodeau's gifts wants to be great? Because in my career, 130 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 6: for whatever that's worth, I think you see players and 131 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 6: you say they just need to fulfill So how important 132 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:24,160 Speaker 6: is that quality? 133 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 1: I think when you look at players like that, maybe 134 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 1: they can't fulfill him. 135 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:35,560 Speaker 2: That's why they don't fulfill him. You know what I mean. 136 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,479 Speaker 2: It's it's our you know, it's how we see that player. 137 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 2: Maybe we see him better than they see themselves. 138 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 1: But Cavon is like I said, he there is no 139 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 1: ceiling on him on how how good he can be. 140 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,840 Speaker 1: And and it's his personality, it's his work ethic, it's 141 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 1: how he was raised, it's you know, all those different 142 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 1: things that go into it. And you know how much 143 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 1: he likes to receive coaching, you know, And it's just 144 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 1: like I said, he's he's a guy that you always 145 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 1: that I always want to be around, and uh. 146 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 2: That that makes it fun to come to work. 147 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 4: You've talked about the past. You know how much how 148 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 4: much you enjoy it here and how much you enjoy 149 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 4: being here.

You know, it's just 162 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 1: like I said before, it's those games were you know, 163 00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 1: just like Buffalo. We were talking about Brian going back 164 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 1: the Buffalo. I think it's just one of those games 165 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 1: that you look forward to, you know. You know, there's 166 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 1: there's Raider fans here in Jersey that come up to 167 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 1: me and they remember that, you know, when I was 168 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 1: when I was with them in Oakland, and it's you know, 169 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 1: it's a it's it's a fun game to play in. 170 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 1: If you're a historian of the league, Giants versus the 171 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 1: Raiders can get any better than that, you know. I 172 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 1: know there's other rivalries, but that's that's two historic franchises. 173 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 1: So you know, we're looking forward to giving it our 174 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 1: best shot. 175 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 3: When growth, what do you expect from a new offensive coordinator, 176 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 3: new quarterback? Obviously not a lot of film on either one. 177 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's it. That's a tough one. I 178 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 1: think that you know, the offensive coordinator, you know, I've 179 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 1: been in those shoes before. 180 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 2: Uh not mid season. 181 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 1: As far as becoming a coordinator, but you know it's 182 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 1: it's it takes a while for coordinators to find themselves 183 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 1: as well, which you'll see is personality early in the 184 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 1: game as far as the coordinator goes and and the 185 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,440 Speaker 1: rookie quarterback is going to be a rookie quarterback. You know, 186 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 1: the quarterbacks in this league, they can either come out 187 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 1: be real hot and or you know, quick games. 188 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:10,120 Speaker 2: I'm sure we'll see more screens. 189 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:13,679 Speaker 1: Than ever, especially on third down and you know things 190 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 1: like that, but you know where they get the ball 191 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,440 Speaker 1: out of his hands quick. But it's going to be 192 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 1: a great challenge for us because the kid has talent 193 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 1: and you know, we know he's going to get the 194 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 1: ball of seventeen and we know he's going to hand 195 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:24,839 Speaker 1: the ball off to number eight. 196 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 2: So I think who's ever playing. 197 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,720 Speaker 1: Quarterback, they're going to get the ball of seventeen and 198 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:31,160 Speaker 1: hand the ball off to number eight. 199 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:33,959 Speaker 2: And there's some other you know, like Jacoby does a nice. 200 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,839 Speaker 1: Job for him as well out there, and you can't 201 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 1: just fall asleep on the other guys. 202 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 2: They have talent offensively
