16
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 3: head coach of the Minnesota Vikings joins us now and

17
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 3: off the Cincinnati Game. Cliches are cliches because they stand

18
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 3: the test of time with accuracy and what I'm getting

19
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 3: at is that Cincinnati game truly was a game of inches,

20
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 3: wasn't it.

21
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:21,040
Speaker 4: Yeah.

22
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,679
Speaker 5: I think you look back on a lot of plays

23
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 5: in that game, first half, second half into overtime where

24
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,400
Speaker 5: you know, a little bit, a little bit better execution,

25
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 5: a little bit better job by you know, by myself

26
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 5: or our coaching staff, it could have been the difference

27
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 5: on that particular play. It's always gonna come down to,

28
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 5: you know, our last sequence of downs. Offensively, I understand that,

29
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:49,279
Speaker 5: or defensively, you know, just couldn't get that one stop

30
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 5: to kind of limit their momentum there in the fourth quarter.

31
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 5: But that's how we continue to improve and strive to improve.

32
00:01:56,360 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 5: Nothing hurt more than leaving Cincinnati without a victory, Like

33
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 5: we played well enough to win that game, and you

34
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 5: got to credit those guys for finishing in the end.

35
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 5: But still an opportunity for growth for our team with

36
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 5: a lot of very important football out in front of

37
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 5: us here down the stretch, and can we find a

38
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 5: way to have our best week of preparation and you know,

39
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 5: take on a heck of a challenge with the Detroit

40
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 5: Lions coming into town.

41
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 3: Your expectations are super high, so potentially hide the women

42
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 3: and children with this question. But for the most part,

43
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,119
Speaker 3: is it fair to say, Kevin, in the Senci game,

44
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 3: the passing game looked close to what it's supposed to

45
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 3: look like.

46
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,679
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think, you know, in credit Ty Chandler and

47
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,239
Speaker 5: our offensive line, our tight ends for what our run

48
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 5: game looked like. Because what that allowed us to do

49
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 5: is really get back to what we want to be

50
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 5: as an offense, which is balanced, really trying to put

51
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:52,959
Speaker 5: defenders in conflict to you know, execute some play paths

52
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:57,239
Speaker 5: and some movement game where we can essentially generate explosives

53
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,079
Speaker 5: without always having to be in the drop back game

54
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 5: and marrying the run in the pass is the way

55
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 5: to do that. And I thought Nick his ability to

56
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 5: hit some of those intermediate to deeper shots down the field,

57
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,079
Speaker 5: whether it was Addison on some of those high crosses,

58
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 5: catching runs JJ on the dagger cuts, the outbreaking cuts,

59
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 5: and then TJ with you know, some monumental plays as well.

60
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 5: That's really what we envisioned being. I thought Nick playing

61
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 5: in rhythm, seeing it and throwing it and really taking

62
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 5: a lot of the calls that I was able to

63
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 5: get to based upon how the game played out, how

64
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 5: we were being defended how they were trying to stop

65
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 5: some of ty Chandler's runs that allowed us to really

66
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 5: get synced up as an offense. Over three hundred yards

67
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 5: for Nick passing, over one hundred for Tie rushing, and

68
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 5: it really felt like, you know, outside of a few

69
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 5: plays where we either turned it over in the red zone,

70
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 5: the execution on some of the previous snaps leading into

71
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 5: those plays a lot to build on. But still we

72
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 5: know our margin of error is very thin, so we've

73
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 5: got to find a way to have better execution on

74
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 5: those you know, handful of plays that really defined taking

75
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 5: what should have been just a really good day on

76
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 5: offense and leaves a bad taste in your mouth because

77
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 5: we just didn't do enough to win the football game.

78
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 6: And you just touched on a couple of them.

79
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 3: But like the nuance of the passing game and running

80
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 3: an offense for an offense that you've said multiple times

81
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 3: has been built around the quarterback spot, specifically the way

82
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 3: Cousins played in twenty twenty two. So with that said,

83
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 3: after you watched it back, what are some things Nick

84
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 3: did where you were like, hey, he's really in control here.

85
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:31,039
Speaker 6: What you need?

86
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think you know, even you know, going back

87
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:36,840
Speaker 5: to you know, one of his it might have been

88
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 5: his first completion of the day, hits JJ on the

89
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 5: dagger cut and the Tampa Mike linebacker's kind of out

90
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 5: in front of that thing, and you see Nick in

91
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 5: great rhythm drive that throw in the window, but also

92
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 5: protect JJ with the throw kind of a lower throw,

93
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 5: takes him to the ground by design so that he

94
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 5: doesn't end up taking a shot over the middle. Some

95
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 5: even the you know, his ability to execute some of

96
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 5: the playpass game where JJ is taking one or two

97
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 5: defenders with him and then Addison's running open through some

98
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 5: voids or TJ in the over to start overtime, kind

99
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 5: of sinking in and letting him you know, win versus

100
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 5: tight man coverage there, versus Hill on the high cross.

101
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 5: There was just examples of him really playing quarterback, seeing coverage,

102
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 5: going through his progressions, and then there were some other

103
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 5: examples throughout the game where you know, meeting with Nick

104
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 5: and going through it, you know there is more room

105
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 5: for improvement, which is exciting considering you know, he threw

106
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 5: for high seventy percent and move the team throughout the day,

107
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 5: generated a lot of efficient drives.

108
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 4: It's just my expectation is for Nick.

109
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 5: To just continue to keep improving with more opportunity, and

110
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 5: hopefully we can limit some of those negatives and sustain

111
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,160
Speaker 5: a little bit more for some points throughout the day.

112
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 3: Potential dumb question here, So when you have a quarterback

113
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 3: making his first start in years, first start for you guys,

114
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 3: and a running back making his first start, is it

115
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:00,919
Speaker 3: important to get the running game? I mean, is it

116
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 3: imperative to get the running game going early? So therefore

117
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 3: you get those linebackers in safeties to say, Okay, he's

118
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 3: gonna run a little bit, so the play action has

119
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 3: some merit.

120
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, And that's really if you were playing quarterback, Pa,

121
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,679
Speaker 5: we would want to do that. It's basically a matter

122
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 5: of trying to maximize the effectiveness of your run game.

123
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 5: And when you for Ty Chandler's first carry of the day,

124
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:26,600
Speaker 5: I think went for eight or nine yards. And now

125
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 5: you're in second and short and you can truly be

126
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,840
Speaker 5: dynamic from a standpoint of if you want to take

127
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 5: a shot on second and short, you can. If you

128
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 5: want to get back to back runs or stack some

129
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 5: runs to try to lean on your opponent a little bit,

130
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 5: get those guys to start activating fill in their gaps

131
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 5: a little bit more, and then ultimately there's some play

132
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 5: pass chances in behind those guys. When you live, you know,

133
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 5: with a lack of a running game or your running

134
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 5: game is not churning out the efficiency on the early downs,

135
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 5: it puts it all on the pass game to not

136
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 5: only overcome some longer dn ds, but then you're gonna

137
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,280
Speaker 5: have to play a lot of the game third and six, seven,

138
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 5: eight plus, and that's when the you know, the scale

139
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 5: tips back towards the.

140
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 4: Defense because they can get dynamic.

141
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 5: With five six seven dbs in the game, pressure looks

142
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 5: and you're really not playing on any sort of the

143
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 5: terms that you want. So when you can run it,

144
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 5: stay efficient and ultimately build upon some of those runs

145
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 5: with plays that start out looking the same, guys have

146
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 5: to defend their gaps and then you can ultimately give

147
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 5: them that conflict that allows you to get some of

148
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 5: those big hits in the past game.

149
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 3: So was tie you know, and his first start and

150
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 3: so many running backs in college just run out of

151
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 3: the shotgun every single time, yep it is, and he

152
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 3: had a really nice shotgun run late right up the middle.

153
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 6: Is he at this stage of his maturation.

154
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 3: Is he markedly more comfortable running out of the shotgun or.

155
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 6: With the dot or with the eye. Does he handle

156
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 6: it all the same?

157
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 5: I think it's going more towards he's handling it all

158
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 5: the same. And that's like you said, it's been a

159
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 5: process for a guy he was a predominant gun runner

160
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 5: in college. A lot of those things really well for

161
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 5: us over the course of the season. In conjunction with Alex,

162
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 5: we've really seen over the course of the year, Tye

163
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 5: has always been somebody we've had a plan for to

164
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 5: continue to build upon his workload because he is so dynamic.

165
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 5: We've found some ways of getting him touches in the

166
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 5: past game, which has been critical on the screen game,

167
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 5: you know, really trying to activate him in ways that

168
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 5: he can have an impact on the game. He went

169
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 5: out there the other day twenty three carries over one

170
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 5: hundred and twenty yards and had another three or four

171
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,439
Speaker 5: touches in the past game. That's how we envision ty

172
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:38,679
Speaker 5: Chandler continuing to impact the game, you know, not only

173
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 5: this week, but moving forward. He's a player we selected

174
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 5: for a reason. We've planned on kind of building around

175
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 5: tie but it's been very important that we allow him

176
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 5: and his growth and process of development to play out

177
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,839
Speaker 5: so that we can maximize who Tye is and who

178
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 5: he's going to become, and which is a major part

179
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 5: of our offense.

180
00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 3: So with Chandler, the more he plays, you know, this year,

181
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 3: next year or whatever, is the pass protection you know,

182
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:05,959
Speaker 3: in that game against Denver, Josie Jewel up the middle

183
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 3: didn't go the right way. Now in this game, first

184
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:12,479
Speaker 3: pass protection picked it up beautifully. Watch some other shotguns.

185
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 3: He's looking for stuff even though it may not be there.

186
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 3: But you had CJ. Ham back there at fair amount too. Yeah,

187
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 3: No slight on CJ. But he's more experienced and he

188
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 3: just probably gets it more quickly at the stage of

189
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 3: their career. So with Tie that would be another step

190
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 3: of the maguration. Continue to approve of that play more.

191
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 5: Right, Yeah, I think the biggest thing with CJ's role

192
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 5: for us right now is as really our third down protector.

193
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 5: You get all kinds of pressure looks. I think our

194
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 5: O line deserves a ton of credit for their improvement

195
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 5: this year.

196
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 4: But CJ.

197
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 5: Ham, I don't know if it's been talked about enough

198
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 5: his role he plays on the third down phase of

199
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 5: essentially putting out a lot of fires up there. As

200
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 5: far as guys get on edges, you know, they attack

201
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:59,079
Speaker 5: certain points in our protection, and we've essentially had CJ

202
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:01,680
Speaker 5: filling in some of those gaps as almost a six

203
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,440
Speaker 5: offensive linemen at times with some of the blocks he's

204
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 5: had to make. I also think for Tye, it's very

205
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 5: rare in this league for running back to play every

206
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 5: single snap in a football game. I know, as excited

207
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 5: as Vikings fans are about Tye, I mirror those feelings,

208
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 5: but we also can't. It's pretty rare to have a

209
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 5: guy go out there and play seventy plus snaps and

210
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,959
Speaker 5: be out there every single snap and take the physical

211
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 5: attrition on him that happens when you're a first and

212
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 5: second down guy. Even the greatest backs in this league,

213
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 5: you know, you think about Derrick Henrys and you know

214
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 5: some of these guys. A lot of times you're seeing

215
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 5: some other players making an impact on maybe the passing downs.

216
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 5: I think Tye just makes it very difficult because he

217
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:49,080
Speaker 5: can be a weapon in those pass downs. He is

218
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 5: improving in the protection responsibility, so I feel more and

219
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 5: more comfortable, and it's great that I feel more and

220
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 5: more comfortable. But more importantly, Tye is feeling more and

221
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 5: more comfortable in every facet of playing running back.

222
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,559
Speaker 4: It showed up. I'm glad you noticed that because.

223
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 5: I thought his protection mirrored what he did in the

224
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:08,439
Speaker 5: run game and his impact in the past game as

225
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 5: a ball catcher. So it was a really really positive

226
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 5: day for ty big time growth.

227
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 3: Vikings fans will remember even in Adrian Peterson's rookie year,

228
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 3: Chester Taylor would come in on third down for the

229
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 3: exact reason that Kevin just mentioned.

230
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:25,079
Speaker 6: Now, the Lions, the wide receiver.

231
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,679
Speaker 3: You once coached, Josh Reynolds, I mean, he doesn't you know,

232
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 3: he doesn't impact it the way Aman Ross, Saint Brown

233
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 3: or Laport or whatever does, but he makes some big

234
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 3: spot catches.

235
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:36,319
Speaker 6: He's like their big spot guy, isn't.

236
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:37,679
Speaker 4: He he is? You know.

237
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 5: The thing that strikes me when you watch them on

238
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 5: tape and knowing both Josh and Jared, Jared.

239
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 4: Has one percent confidence in Josh. Contested balls, tough catches

240
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 4: over the middle.

241
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,679
Speaker 5: He's running a lot of those play pass rhythm throws

242
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 5: that you know you see in our offense as well,

243
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 5: And it requires a willingness an attention to detailing the route,

244
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 5: but Pa, there's still those moments you're going over the middle,

245
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 5: and the rules protect these guys in a lot of

246
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 5: ways that they maybe didn't years ago. But it's still

247
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:09,719
Speaker 5: awful noisy in there at times, and Josh makes some

248
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 5: unbelievable plays in there, and it's really developed into being

249
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,439
Speaker 5: a comfort zone for Jared. You know, like their rookie

250
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:18,439
Speaker 5: tight end has clearly Alman Rah is one of the

251
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 5: best in football and so dynamic and has so much

252
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:24,439
Speaker 5: to do with their offense. And then they've got the

253
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 5: vertical threat and Jamison Williams back and healthy, so clearly

254
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:30,839
Speaker 5: it's a dynamic group. I think Ben Johnson does a

255
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 5: great job on offense. They've got a very good old

256
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 5: line and now two really good backs that complement each

257
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 5: other well. So our staff and our defense, they're going

258
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 5: to have a heck of a challenge this week. We

259
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 5: got to make sure we have a productive day on

260
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,959
Speaker 5: offense to try to limit the amount of snaps that

261
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 5: our defense has to be on the field defending that

262
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,080
Speaker 5: great unit over there. But we also want to accept

263
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 5: the challenge and it's going to be one we know that,

264
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:56,199
Speaker 5: but that's what it's going to take to go win

265
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 5: the football game Sunday.

266
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,679
Speaker 6: They hit on that side. Didn't report it, didn't they?

267
00:12:59,720 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 4: Yeah?

268
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 7: Did.

269
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,080
Speaker 5: He's a He's a really, really, really good player. You

270
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:06,079
Speaker 5: can see he's got all the physical you know, makeup

271
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,320
Speaker 5: you want from a strength, speed, all those things.

272
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 4: But he's really.

273
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 5: Got some nuance to his route running and understand zones

274
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 5: how to win versus man and he's a pretty elite

275
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 5: catcher of the football as well.

276
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 4: So really good player, Gibbs.

277
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 5: You know, we had very strong feelings towards both those

278
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 5: players in our evaluation in the draft of both those guys,

279
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 5: and credit Detroit for going out and getting them.

280
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 6: Last one.

281
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 3: Has their pass rush gotten a boost of late with

282
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:36,559
Speaker 3: this Josh Pascal complimenting Aiden Hutchinson.

283
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:40,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, and you're seeing Bruce Irvin have some spot roles

284
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 5: as well. I think Hutchinson's really really developed into a premier,

285
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,079
Speaker 5: premier player on the edge. He's a guy that can

286
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 5: wreck the game if you don't account for him. And

287
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 5: then they've got you know, some really nice you struggle

288
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:55,959
Speaker 5: to even call them complimentary pieces because they are impact

289
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 5: players around him. You take one snap off versus Pascal

290
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,320
Speaker 5: or or Irvin or any of these interior rushers and

291
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 5: they can impact the game greatly, So you've got to

292
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:08,200
Speaker 5: have a great protection plan. AG's got a you know,

293
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,679
Speaker 5: a very extensive blitz package as well that they like

294
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:14,080
Speaker 5: to bring Angeloni and some of these DB's branch and

295
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 5: some of the safeties off the edge. So there is

296
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 5: not one snap where you can take a deep breath

297
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 5: and think that you know you can just drop back

298
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 5: with ease and you know you're gonna have all day

299
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 5: back there. There's got to be rhythm detail, our protection plan,

300
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 5: our running backs, all of the things that make our

301
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 5: offense go against the challenging defenses in this league like Detroit,

302
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 5: we're going to be needing to fire on all cylinders.

303
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 6: Merry Christmas to you and your family, and that includes

304
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,840

00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 3: Probably wanted that Cincinnati game to go the right way,

316
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 3: specifically since you coach there, since you were there before

317
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 3: you When when you get back there you see anybody,

318
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 3: like not necessarily Zach Taylor staff or anything, but like

319
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 3: people who work in the building, like maybe you remembered

320
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 3: from back in the day.

321
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 8: Uh, yeah, they were a couple of guys from equipment

322
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 8: And yeah, some of the trainers came up to me

323
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 8: before the game.

324
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 3: That's always cool now raising young men at corner and

325
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 3: and just overall what goes into it? Just what what

326
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 3: did you think of a Caleb Evans game at Cincinnati?

327
00:15:58,560 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 3: Just overall?

328
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 7: I think I thought it was some definitely some things.

329
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 8: You know, he had a chance to get his first

330
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 8: interception of his career, which was good for him, a

331
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 8: good confidence booster. There's always some things that he can

332
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 8: improve on, that we can have that we can work

333
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 8: better with, some technique, just some vision.

334
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 4: You know.

335
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 7: It was the ebbs and flows of any game for

336
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 7: the most part.

337
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 3: And and that play made on the sideline in front

338
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 3: of the Bengals bench, that was a terrific play.

339
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 8: Oh my god, this big spot yes with a screenplay, right, yeah,

340
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 8: big time tackle.

341
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 3: And and you know, then then when when it comes

342
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 3: to young corners, you know, Caleb's in his second year,

343
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:36,239
Speaker 3: but he missed that time last year with the concussion,

344
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 3: And and you guys have just put so much in

345
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 3: front of ma Kay Blackman obviously because you trust him

346
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 3: and he's gifted. But it's another young corner that you're raising.

347
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 3: And uh, it's I would imagine it's dramatically different than

348
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 3: like working with say, I don't know, Bira Murphy junior

349
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 3: Harrison Smith.

350
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 6: Is that true?

351
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's a little different, just in terms of the experience.

352
00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 8: You know, Murph, those guys he's seen more concepts, they've

353
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 8: been in, they have they have more snaps under their belt,

354
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 8: whereas you know, a young corner he's still learning, although

355
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 8: maybe he understands what to do, but it's just the

356
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 8: small details of each play, the nuances within the coverages,

357
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 8: within the concepts that you may get throughout the game.

358
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 6: Are there.

359
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 3: Deronte are there are any teaching points for Mackay on

360
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,919
Speaker 3: on Higgins's second touchdown, it looked like, I mean, it

361
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 3: looked like Mackay was playing almost a safety role, like

362
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:31,199
Speaker 3: where he was standing, Caleb's right there, Browning throws the

363
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 3: punch and you know, is there anything different Mackay could

364
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 3: have done in that situation.

365
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 8: Yeah, we just want to talk about, you know, leaving

366
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 8: nothing the chance, you know, finishing, never assuming that someone

367
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 8: else is going to make the play. Why not you

368
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 8: squeeze and attack the ball.

369
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 3: And it seems it seems with most people on this team,

370
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 3: at least that I've gotten to know, and with the

371
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:58,399
Speaker 3: way you guys coach that that there there's vulnerability, there's

372
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 3: there's culpability.

373
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 6: Made be strong.

374
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 3: But you know a lot of I got it, you

375
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:05,160
Speaker 3: know what I mean when instead of like going back

376
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 3: and forth in adversarial fashion with somebody trying to be right.

377
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 6: Is that accurate?

378
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 7: Yeah?

379
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:12,640
Speaker 8: No, the guys are very coachable. All the guys are

380
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 8: are very coach especially the young players. They try to

381
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:19,359
Speaker 8: take whatever nuggets you give them and apply them throughout

382
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 8: the game.

383
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 7: And you can.

384
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:22,680
Speaker 8: See that on the sidelines where guys may take a

385
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 8: certain level of coaching and then try to apply that. So, no,

386
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 8: we don't have that issue. I don't really feel that

387
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 8: issue amongst the team at all.

388
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:29,919
Speaker 6: You know.

389
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 3: One of the one of the many things that I

390
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 3: love with what you guys do is is whether it's Brian, you, whomever,

391
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:40,719
Speaker 3: you're not afraid to put people in in just the

392
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 3: biggest high stress situations even if they haven't played for

393
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:45,680
Speaker 3: like like like two and a half quarters. Andre Carter

394
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:47,880
Speaker 3: at Green Bay, it's all of a sudden. Jordan loves

395
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 3: looking at fifty five a dam blitzer times. Where'd you

396
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:52,119
Speaker 3: come from?

397
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:52,640
Speaker 2: Well?

398
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:55,440
Speaker 3: THEO Jackson's kind of that guy for you guys where

399
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 3: you won't see him for a while, but then he's

400
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 3: in the game late. What What are some traits THEO

401
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 3: possesses that you really like?

402
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:06,400
Speaker 7: Well, he's very versatile, he's a smart player.

403
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 8: He can play multiple positions, he can run, he can tackle,

404
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 8: he has ranged in deep zones, he understands how to

405
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 8: play on the deef zones and has that short area

406
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 8: of quickness. So you like what he brings to the table.

407
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 8: And he's also a second year player. Yeah, so he's

408
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:25,679
Speaker 8: still I got to catch myself at time, right because

409
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:27,920
Speaker 8: you know, you put more things on him and you're like,

410
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:30,920
Speaker 8: he's just in his second year, But no, I think

411
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 8: he's earned that level of trust from us, and he

412
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,200
Speaker 8: continues to show that from weekend week out.

413
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:41,880
Speaker 3: And is mettellus the ultimate teaching point with this, where

414
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,400
Speaker 3: I mean you can look at the past for performances

415
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 3: and say, hey, he was killing it on special teams,

416
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 3: didn't really get a chance for whatever the reason to

417
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 3: play defense. But look at this now, if you just

418
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 3: keep working hard.

419
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 8: Right, correct, correct, keep working hard, keep working at your craft,

420
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:58,880
Speaker 8: owning your role whatever that may be on the team,

421
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:02,640
Speaker 8: and you know that role expands this year or next year.

422
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 7: You're ready for it.

423
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 8: You know where's your Your preparation has meant the opportunity

424
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:09,119
Speaker 8: and therefore you can have some success when it presents itself.

425
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:13,919
Speaker 3: What's uh, what's what's tough with Jared Goff specifically compared

426
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 3: to some quarterbacks you've seen this year.

427
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:18,640
Speaker 8: Decision making, He's been quick with getting the ball out,

428
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 8: he has ownership of the offense. Uh, you know him

429
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:23,680
Speaker 8: and Ben Johnson has done a great job over there

430
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 8: doing the things that he does well. And uh, they're

431
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 8: definitely playing to his strength. So you know, anytime you

432
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 8: face a guy who's been to the Super Bowl, who's

433
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 8: you know, he's been in some big time games. You

434
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 8: know he's not going to get rattled easily.

435
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 3: And man, same with Aman Ross Saint Brown, I mean,

436
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 3: fourth round pick and he I mean he's just a

437
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:42,399
Speaker 3: tough cover, isn't it.

438
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:44,359
Speaker 7: Very tough tough cover and tough player.

439
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 2: Is Yeah.

440
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:47,640
Speaker 6: Does he mix it up in the run blocking game.

441
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 8: He's one of their best blocker blocking receivers, and so

442
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 8: that says a lot about him in terms of, uh,

443
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:54,680
Speaker 8: not only does he put the effort in the blocking game,

444
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 8: but also in the receiving game as well.

445
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,640
Speaker 3: This uh, this will be the second to last regular

446
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 3: season home game. It's white out, it's Christmas Eve, it's

447
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 3: going to be loud, it's going to be festive. Do

448
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 3: you do you do as a coach putting in all

449
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 3: the hours that you guys do, and it's late in

450
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 3: the season, you know, a game right in front of

451
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,360
Speaker 3: Christmas very festive atmosphere. I mean, I would imagine you're

452
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 3: super excited for this game, right, of.

453
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 7: Course, We'll just a game in general. I'm gonna be

454
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 7: honest with you, I forgot that Christmas was right on

455
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 7: the corner. But I'll you know, but no, you're you know,

456
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 7: you get locked in on the game.

457
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 8: Yeah, don't think the guy is staying focused on being

458
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:30,879
Speaker 8: able to manage that. But actually, anytime you get a

459
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:32,479
Speaker 8: chance to play in front of the Vikings fans, you're

460
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:33,119
Speaker 8: thrilled about it.

461
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:34,640
Speaker 3: You know, if you have to do a little work

462
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:36,879
Speaker 3: on Monday, Christmas Day, I'm hoping you get time and

463
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 3: a half pay. You start lobbying for that now, right, Hey,

464
