1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:01,040
Speaker 1: You see. How are you.

2
00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:02,720
Speaker 2: I'm good. How are you?

3
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:05,600
Speaker 1: I'm doing well. I hope you had a at least

4
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:09,639
Speaker 1: a RESTful a couple of days. Yes, I'm curious about

5
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 1: Josh Ucha. You know, I know that sacks don't tell

6
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:16,599
Speaker 1: the full story, and it seems like some of the

7
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:19,320
Speaker 1: metrics really still love him as a pass rusher. I'm

8
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:21,320
Speaker 1: just curious as to what you can tell us about

9
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 1: his season and maybe how much he's been impacted by

10
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 1: Matthew's absence.

11
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 3: Uh.

12
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm not sure how much it's impacted him. You know,

13
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:36,160
Speaker 4: we missed a couple of games there in the however

14
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 4: many weeks ago that was so that probably impacted him

15
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:42,599
Speaker 4: more his production more than losing Juda on I don't

16
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 4: feel since he wasn't out there either.

17
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 2: But no, no, no issues with Josh. He's continue to improve.

18
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 4: I think the way you started off with question was right,

19
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 4: just in terms of the stats don't always tell the

20
00:00:56,520 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 4: full story. Sometimes those those stats come bunches. But yeah,

21
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 4: no issues with Josh. He's been doing a good.

22
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 2: Job and I know it'll stay that way for the

23
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 2: rest of the year.

24
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 3: Thank you, Thanks Mike Breese, fall about you and new

25
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 3: Kellyan Steve.

26
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,399
Speaker 5: What what did you do over the buy anything you

27
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 5: were able to get away and do? Uh?

28
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, I spent some time with the family, went to

29
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 4: the Bruins game Saturday night, so it was good, good

30
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,759
Speaker 4: couple of days to hang out and reset.

31
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 2: What are you a Bruins fan? Absolutely? What's it like

32
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 2: sitting there watching a game as a fan?

33
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 3: Are you able to do that or is it sort

34
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 3: of are you looking at it always through the coaching lens?

35
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 4: Absolutely not through coaching lens. I'm one hundred percent of

36
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 4: fan and yeah, love love hockey. Usually don't get to

37
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 4: go to a game until after our season ends, so

38
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 4: it was nice to get timed up.

39
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 2: Well, I'm playing Saturday night, so I was going to

40
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 2: ask you a football question, but I actually want to

41
00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 2: continue on this.

42
00:01:58,320 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 6: What do you what do you like about the game

43
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 6: and how to did you become a fan?

44
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 3: Yeah?

45
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 4: I think, uh, I mean, it's such a fast paced sport.

46
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 4: Not much, you know, not many fox stoppages timeouts. They

47
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 4: don't really take timeouts, but there's a couple of breaks,

48
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 4: you know, But fast paced game, all the substitutions and

49
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 4: obviously the contact is very enjoyable to watch.

50
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 2: But I think those guys are just extremely skilled.

51
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 4: It's one thing to you know, be able to handle

52
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 4: the puck and stuff like that, but now you gotta

53
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 4: skate on ice. So the coordination of all the things

54
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 4: that they do is pretty impressive. So big big Bruins fan.

55
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 5: Andrew fall by Chris right, like, I think the short

56
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 5: answer is lax guys like hockey. Steve is that is

57
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 5: that accurate.

58
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:57,080
Speaker 2: I wouldn't call myself a lax guy, but now I

59
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:01,239
Speaker 2: just like I just like hockey. I've always liked I

60
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 2: argue it now.

61
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 5: So last week, an annual list about you know, potential

62
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 5: future coordinators and head coaches came out and you had

63
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 5: a lot of colleagues on there. We've asked you about

64
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 5: a drod a Ton who was on the list, But

65
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,119
Speaker 5: as far as working with de Marcus, and I don't

66
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 5: know how much you worked with Ross Douglas a year

67
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,239
Speaker 5: or two ago whenever he came in, But can you

68
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 5: speak to why they might end up on a list

69
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 5: like that? Uh?

70
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, probably because they're good coaches and I have good reputations.

71
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 4: But yeah, happy for all those guys. The Marcus very deserving.

72
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 4: You know, he does a lot, He's done a lot

73
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 4: in the building, not just coach defensive line. He's worked

74
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 4: all over the place. So yeah, a lot of respect

75
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 4: for them and I'm not surprised to hear about that.

76
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 2: Awesome.

77
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 5: And then one other thing I want to ask about,

78
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 5: is it looks like the Blitz efficacy for you guys

79
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 5: the last three weeks it has been difficult to kind

80
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 5: of get through. Is there anything you're seeing there or

81
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 5: is it a small sample issue where it's just a

82
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 5: bad three week stretch when you guys are bringing extra pressure.

83
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean you know there's risk reward and everything

84
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 4: that you as you do out there. So it was

85
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 4: good for the bye week, during the bye week to

86
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 4: be able to go back and review.

87
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 2: Some of that stuff.

88
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 4: And there's a lot, there's a lot we have to

89
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 4: clean up, which what we're pushing towards.

90
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 2: All right, Thanks Steve, Thank.

91
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: You Chris Ryan followed by Chris Mason.

92
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 6: A Steve Football as well. With you, as the bye

93
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 6: we did provide an opportunity to reset. I'm curious as

94
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 6: to know what were some of the main areas that

95
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 6: you looked at with this defense and said we can

96
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 6: we can improve this over the final seven weeks to

97
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:40,359
Speaker 6: get better results.

98
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,279
Speaker 4: Uh yeah, I mean I think you when you have

99
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 4: this break, you can kind of look at everything, right,

100
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 4: you got time.

101
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 2: To to to look at it all.

102
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 4: But at the same time, you've got to pick a

103
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 4: couple couple of little things that that you want.

104
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 2: To improve at.

105
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 4: Keep your strengths your strengths and improve your weaknesses. But

106
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:02,159
Speaker 4: you can't, you know, reset the whole defense and start

107
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,919
Speaker 4: start over in it and want to improve you know,

108
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,599
Speaker 4: every single little thing. You kind of have to to

109
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 4: target some things individually and then collectively so a couple

110
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 4: of guys can do these things better and that'll help

111
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 4: the defense be better and that will help us improve

112
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 4: in certain areas. So I think you kind of got

113
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 4: to boil it down and like I said, not try

114
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 4: and just you know, be better at every single thing.

115
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:25,559
Speaker 2: But if we just do a couple of little things better,

116
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:27,039
Speaker 2: then that'll go a long way.

117
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 6: Obviously, injuries happened, but the fact that Gonzales and Judan

118
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 6: got injured the same week, how did that kind of

119
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 6: set you in a different pattern and path in terms

120
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 6: of trying to compensate for those losses and stay on

121
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 6: the same trajectory. And that has was that a significant problems.

122
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:50,720
Speaker 6: It seems from the outside.

123
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 4: I wouldn't really call it like a problem. I'd just

124
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 4: say it was, you know, something that we that we

125
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 4: have to deal with. Like you said, injuries happen. You

126
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,120
Speaker 4: don't like anticipate like, oh I feel like this we

127
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 4: you know, we may be losing this guy or something

128
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:04,559
Speaker 4: like that. You never going planning like that. You always

129
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 4: think that you're gonna have everybody, but it's kind of unrealistic.

130
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 4: So you know, you take take the punches when when

131
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 4: they come and and roll through it.

132
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 2: And so you know, we.

133
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,719
Speaker 4: Moved moved past that a while ago, and I just gotta,

134
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 4: you know, deal with that whenever it comes up.

135
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 2: Thanks, thank you.

136
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 1: I'm going to do two final questions here, Chris Mason

137
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 1: and Ian Steele.

138
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 3: Hey, Steve, I just wanted to ask you about Jeelani

139
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 3: where I think he has He's had a hand in

140
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 3: three takeaways in the last five games. He's on track

141
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,159
Speaker 3: to play the most snaps in his career. Just what

142
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 3: stands out to you about the season that he's put

143
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 3: together thus far.

144
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think Jelownnie, you know, has a lot of

145
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 4: versatility within his game, playing on the ball, off the ball,

146
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 4: rough coverage man's own inside pressure or outside pressure. So

147
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 4: I think, uh, we've always seen that with Wigelawney. He's

148
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 4: had had some more opportunities here recently and he's taken

149
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 4: taken advantage of him. But he has really good instincts

150
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 4: and he's just a really good athlete. He does a

151
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 4: lot of things, you know, really well, so I think

152
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 4: that helps him as well as being you know, smart, good,

153
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 4: good communicator, so helps a lot of the guys around.

154
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 2: Him, and it helps him knowing knowing what other guys

155
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 2: are doing.

156
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 4: So I'm not not surprised by, you know, the production

157
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 4: that he's had, but it's good. Good to see him

158
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 4: go out there and do it. So happy for him

159
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 4: and hopefully it continues.
