1
00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 1: All right, Mary thought out that's a frisk one this morning. Um, well,

2
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:12,960
Speaker 1: we're you know, winding down here on the preparation. It's

3
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:16,840
Speaker 1: been a been a quick week, but um, you know,

4
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 1: tough team to prepare for. I got a lot of

5
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 1: work to do, but um, you know, I'm kind of

6
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:24,120
Speaker 1: closing in on it here. Get to you know, Friday

7
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 1: type schedule today and um I'll get through our preparations

8
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 1: and I'll be ready to go here. So UM, looking

9
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 1: forward to it. Good challenge, great opportunity. Offlow is a

10
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 1: good football team. Um, you know, we know we'll need

11
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 1: to play our best can to win. So that's what

12
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 1: we're gonna trying to do. Where is your hand? A

13
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 1: few of questions, I'll call him my priest. In the

14
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 1: stadium practice today? How much of that is just a

15
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: practice where you're going to be playing or is it

16
00:00:54,560 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: more field conission related? Yeah? Probably the ladder go Parrett.

17
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 1: You mentioned the weather off the top just walking in.

18
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: It's it's you know, that wind out there and combined

19
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: with the cold. I'm just curious this sort of a

20
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 1: broader kind of question, I guess. But as you're looking

21
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: for players to add to your team, does how they

22
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: might perform in these kinds of conditions come into play

23
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: ever the specific but Northeast New England, I mean, I

24
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 1: don't know that we've I wouldn't say it's a you know, priority.

25
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: I mean, but look, it's a factor. You know, you've

26
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 1: got to deal with it at the end of the

27
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: year or so. But sometimes it's you know, good if

28
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: they've had experience in it. But we've had plenty of that.

29
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: Haven't a drawd Mayos of the world, and they've played

30
00:01:52,720 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: a lot of great football for us, So Christians, it

31
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: wouldn't be noticed me and the way Brian Gables used

32
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: their tight ends um of course of the season and

33
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: then the Pittsburgh game in particular the corof catches the

34
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: ball hadn't been involved a lot production wise, but catches

35
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: a key touchdown for them in that game. He faced

36
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 1: a number of teams with multiple tight ends of the lake.

37
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 1: Just curious how helpful those stacks up and how they

38
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 1: use those guys. Um well, you know, earlier in the

39
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: year they didn't have Croft, you know, so it was Smith,

40
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: the Knox, a little bit of Sweeney then um kind

41
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: of as Knox started to I would say, come on,

42
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: a little bit. They were several weeks there where Smith

43
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:49,639
Speaker 1: didn't play much. They all play, but the playing time

44
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:53,639
Speaker 1: one from Smith to Knox. They were in a lot

45
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 1: of eleven personnel, a bunch of no huddle for several games,

46
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 1: three or four games there, and then as you mentioned,

47
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh games, swung a little bit more back to

48
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: what they did in some earlier games. So I think,

49
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 1: you know, with Buffalo, you just got to be ready

50
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,359
Speaker 1: for all the different personnel groups they have them all,

51
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: which ones they're going to use against you and at

52
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 1: what level of frequency. You know, we'll just have to

53
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: see something that's probably game plan related. Another part of

54
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 1: it might be game related, you know, so we'll just

55
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: have to save it. They've all they've all played. When

56
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: Croft came back, he played more in the first two

57
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: or three games whatever it was when he got back,

58
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: and then kind of Knox seems like he's taken back

59
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 1: some of that playing time. And as you said, Smith

60
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 1: played more last week. So if they ask Brian how

61
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 1: he's going to use them, and Sweeney's kind of dropped out,

62
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 1: you know, where he played more earlier some earlier, he's

63
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: kind of dropped out, but he's still on the roster.

64
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: So you know we'll see Bill Um Tom's Tombery's completion

65
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 1: percentages down at at sixty point one, which is the

66
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: lowest it's been for his career. Um, he's a guy

67
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 1: that you know, we talked about how accurate he's been.

68
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 1: So I guess, um, sort of surprising number. What's gone

69
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: into that at this year? Yeah, I think right now,

70
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,280
Speaker 1: you know, we're really focused on the Buffalo game and

71
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: you know, trying to get ready and a player best

72
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 1: in this game. So you know, going back and analyzing

73
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,159
Speaker 1: stuff from other games and a year and all that's

74
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 1: really don't know where we're at is there may be

75
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: an emphasis to try and bring that number up, or

76
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 1: is sort of is what it is this year or no.

77
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: We call passes to complete them, we call it runs

78
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 1: to gain yardage. We call defenses to stop our opponents.

79
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: We call returns to gain yardage on a return. I mean,

80
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 1: so that's why we call those plays. So we want

81
00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 1: to all make us all of them as good as

82
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: we can. It's pro as we can try to make

83
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 1: every play productive. I really know it's the time of

84
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 1: the season. Everyone's dealing with something. Julian Edelman's a player

85
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,159
Speaker 1: who has been on the injury report. It seems like

86
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: basically a lot of the season right now with the

87
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,479
Speaker 1: shoulder and the knee. Given how important he is to

88
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: the offense and how important this game is, how do

89
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 1: you balance just his work in practice and how you

90
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 1: use them in a game when you know he's clearly

91
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 1: dealing with something, but again, he's so important to the offense,

92
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 1: right well, I mean, first of all, the injury report,

93
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: it didn't mean it is what is. We follow the

94
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 1: injury report rules as we're required to do, and that's

95
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 1: what we do. So whatever that is it is now

96
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:47,039
Speaker 1: there's a lot of variation and what that can be

97
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 1: based on what the rules are. So but you know,

98
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 1: for each individual player, as you said, nobody's on a percent.

99
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: Everybody's played a lot of football, practice a lot of football,

100
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 1: and you know it's been basically a week after week

101
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: other than you know, the one bye week, So you

102
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 1: know that's a cumulative thing, and we do the best

103
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 1: we can each week to manage all the things that

104
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:15,159
Speaker 1: you just talked about each individual players situation, what the

105
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 1: team needs, what type of practice schedule or what type

106
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:23,279
Speaker 1: of preparation we're on, and how to get the most

107
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 1: out of the team and the players and to be

108
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: ready to go on Sunday. So it's you know, each

109
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: it's a really an individual daily answer to that question.

110
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: What's the player's situation, what are we working on, what's

111
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 1: his role? What do we need him for? You know,

112
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 1: can he do it? I mean if you can't do it,

113
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 1: then that answers that if you can do some things

114
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 1: but not others, then how important is it form to

115
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:48,479
Speaker 1: do those things? We get them the next day, we

116
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,599
Speaker 1: not get them the next day, so forth. So we

117
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,719
Speaker 1: just take that on a day by day basis, and

118
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:58,039
Speaker 1: that's really what the position coaches. One of the main

119
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,720
Speaker 1: things that they do is manage the players at their position.

120
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 1: So between Jacobe and a Keel and Julian and sinou,

121
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 1: Phil and Joe manages those guys based on the you know,

122
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 1: all the things I just talked about, or Ivan does

123
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: it with the rundbacks, or Nick does it with the

124
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: tight ends, or Dante does it with a line and

125
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 1: and sometimes they add up and sometimes they're kind of independently.

126
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 1: You know, you have to do it's best for your group.

127
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 1: I know you focused on the game for the week,

128
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: but just knowing what is ahead at any given point

129
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 1: of the season. Uh sure, yeah, sure, it could be definitely.

130
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 1: Um again, at this point, you're kind of in a

131
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: lot of one game seasons, so but yeah, but there's

132
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 1: a game after this, and we're fortunate we have at

133
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: least one more game after that, and so last week

134
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: we had you know, but as they're getting fewer and fewer,

135
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 1: then you know, let's say there's fewer options, and you know,

136
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 1: again you have to try to figure out what's best

137
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,559
Speaker 1: for that player, what's best for the team, and so forth.

138
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 1: So that's but it's it's a normal problem with every position.

139
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: It's not one player all this year, it was just

140
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 1: this player. Every year, it's multiple players throughout the entire

141
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: course of the year. And every team goes through it

142
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 1: that I know of. So you just do the best

143
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 1: you can to manage it, and you stay in constant

144
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: communication with the player, the people who are training him

145
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,839
Speaker 1: and working on him, and again the coaches that are

146
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:40,839
Speaker 1: involved in his utilization, whether it's on offense, defense, special teams,

147
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 1: where these combinations are the best you can our games.

148
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:49,839
Speaker 1: The Bills, obviously we're playing the defense back and be

149
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:53,079
Speaker 1: for them. The first song, have you seen that an

150
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,719
Speaker 1: evolution from from that group. For there any differences in

151
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 1: that defensive union going into this movie now compared to

152
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 1: ever before, No, not really. So, I mean I think

153
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 1: it's rare. Um. I mean, they've virtually had no injuries.

154
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,599
Speaker 1: I mean it's the exact same you know, sort of

155
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 1: the same players. I mean, Oliver's obviously gained a lot

156
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 1: of experience and he's a good player, but it's it's

157
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 1: really pretty much the same group. They've been very healthy, um,

158
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 1: they've missed very little time. Their rotations are pretty pretty

159
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 1: solid um and consistent because they've had you know, all

160
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 1: those guys available. So you know, Sean scheme is Shawn scheme.

161
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 1: He has a broad scheme. He has a lot of

162
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,559
Speaker 1: you know, variations and changeups, but they compliment each other.

163
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 1: It's not you know, it's not a big I mean,

164
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:46,959
Speaker 1: the volume is not exorbitant, but it's enough to keep

165
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,559
Speaker 1: the offense off balance so that you can do enough

166
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 1: different different things to the change up and play man,

167
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 1: play zone, play blood zone, bring two, bring three or

168
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 1: bring one, bring two, drop one. Um. So you know,

169
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 1: you just you just don't know exactly what you're going

170
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: to get schematically, and they do a very good job

171
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 1: at disguising what they do so that they look the same,

172
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: but they're not the same. And they combine that with

173
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 1: some defensive line movement and obviously some very good players.

174
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 1: And so that's why they're good. Well coached. They have

175
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 1: good players, they're sound, they'll give up big plays and

176
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 1: it's hard hard to string a lot of good plays

177
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,439
Speaker 1: together against that defense. You might, you know, move the

178
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 1: ball a little bit, but you know, if you have

179
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,320
Speaker 1: to put together you know, ten to twelve play drive,

180
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 1: usually they can make plays along the way before you

181
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 1: can finish the drive and they're out of there. Three

182
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 1: final questions. They got to targ Kaye. After somebody's game,

183
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 1: some guys mentioned to the jac Jackson and pettit wide

184
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 1: receiver on the step team last year, and then someone

185
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 1: kind of conducted Dani Yetling had some receiver receiver role

186
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 1: in step team last year. Is that all purely in

187
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 1: need based movie you guys around on the step team

188
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 1: or if you take a look it as an opportunity

189
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 1: pitch americancy, Oh, let's say it's usually need based, and

190
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:06,719
Speaker 1: sometimes it comes to more than that, but I'd say

191
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 1: usually it's need based. You know, you guys have their

192
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 1: primary position. If they can work at that position, then great,

193
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:17,680
Speaker 1: And sometimes they don't get much work at their position

194
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 1: or you need them at another position, and so you

195
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 1: have to in all hands on deck and you have

196
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 1: to pull all your resources there and try to everybody

197
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:28,599
Speaker 1: has to do a little bit more. And so in

198
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 1: the end, I think it helps those players. I mean,

199
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 1: it helps the defensive back to play corner, and helps

200
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 1: a wide receiver or a quarterback to play wide receiver

201
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 1: to you know, see what it's like on the other

202
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 1: end of the past, and an offensive lineman to play

203
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 1: defensive lineman and vice versa at the times when you're

204
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:43,719
Speaker 1: shorthanded it. So, you know, I don't think those are

205
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 1: like bad experiences for the individual players. Sometimes the quality

206
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:52,199
Speaker 1: initially is not that good, but you know, as a

207
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 1: learning curve and then they get better at it. You know,

208
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:59,559
Speaker 1: sometimes with a player like Edelman or Troy Brown, you

209
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,839
Speaker 1: end up need to use them even though that's not

210
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 1: your first choice. So but yeah, I'd say it's more

211
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,959
Speaker 1: need based unless you had a specific player that okay,

212
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 1: his role is going to be, you know, all three

213
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 1: phases and you know, can do a lot of different

214
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 1: things and that was type of player, but there's not

215
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 1: many of those. Build a high employer of both guys

216
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 1: who make plays in the end the season series against

217
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 1: the past the last few years. What are the things

218
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:30,839
Speaker 1: that you see though when you watch their defense that

219
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 1: kind of indicate their value to their team into build

220
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:41,439
Speaker 1: chun unless you're trying to execute. Yeah, again, I think

221
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,679
Speaker 1: I've said this for several years. They compliment each other

222
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 1: very well. They do a very good job with their

223
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 1: disguise and pre snap looks. They make it hard on

224
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:55,559
Speaker 1: the quarterback. You know, mostly as a coach or quarterback.

225
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 1: If you look at the safeties, that'll pretty much tell

226
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:03,080
Speaker 1: you you know eighty percent of what's going on defensively

227
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:07,199
Speaker 1: based on their depth or their rotation your formation obviously,

228
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:09,560
Speaker 1: and then where they go in that formation, then how

229
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 1: deep they are, and you know what kind of angle

230
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:15,079
Speaker 1: they're taking. So I would say those guys do a

231
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 1: good job of holding that until the last second. Sometimes

232
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:20,599
Speaker 1: they get false keys and start one way and go

233
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 1: another way, so that you know, as a quarterback, you

234
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,079
Speaker 1: know you want to or as a coach even you know,

235
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 1: if you're looking at the game, you see something and

236
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 1: you think that's what it is and your eyes go

237
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 1: somewhere else, but then it starts one way, and then

238
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,679
Speaker 1: it goes somewhere else, and then you know you've misread it.

239
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 1: So they do a good job of those things, whether

240
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:42,719
Speaker 1: they're blitzing, playing man coverage, playing different zone coverages and

241
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 1: different responsibilities in the zones. They're both instinctive players. Sometimes

242
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:50,080
Speaker 1: they kind of don't go exactly probably where they're supposed

243
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:54,599
Speaker 1: to go, but there's a certain key or indicator, or

244
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:58,079
Speaker 1: they recognize the play and don't really get to where

245
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 1: they're supposed to get to because the plays developed quickly,

246
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,599
Speaker 1: and so that's you know, you think they're gonna be

247
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 1: one place, but they they recognize it and they they're

248
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 1: they're quicker than you think they're going to be, and

249
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:12,559
Speaker 1: you know, are in the way of the play. So

250
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 1: they I mean, they do all those things well, and

251
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 1: they do it well with the linebackers. I mean they

252
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 1: tie the disguises in with the linebackers as well too.

253
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 1: Sometimes if safety is disguise and the linebackers aren't tied

254
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 1: in with it, like you've got all these guys over

255
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 1: here together, they're not you know, somebody's going to have

256
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 1: to go somewhere else. So you know, it's not okay,

257
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: they're they're trying to disguise it. We can see they're

258
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 1: trying to disguise it. But these guys, you know, they

259
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 1: move one way, to linebackers move the other way. They

260
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 1: you know, kind of control their disguises and they do

261
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 1: a good job. And they're fast. You know, Milana is fast,

262
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 1: Demons is fast. So even though the linebackers, they have

263
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 1: the speed and I would say range to get the

264
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 1: things that some of the linebackers can't get to. So

265
00:14:54,400 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 1: that's it all ties in together. Well. Stefan Gilmore said

266
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 1: the other day, this is like a playoff game, and

267
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 1: I'm just curious, from what you've seen from the players

268
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 1: and your staff throughout the organization, are you sensing that

269
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 1: urgency of a playoff game for absolutely? Yeah, absolutely, So

270
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 1: we're here for yeah, we're all you here to put

271
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 1: yourself in a position, you know, playing a game like

272
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 1: this where you can win the division. That's I couldn't

273
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 1: say that in week four or Week six or a

274
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 1: week eight, whatever it was. We're saying that now. So

275
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 1: how's the time for us to play and coach our

276
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 1: best football? That's what we're all here for okay yep.

277
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 1: Thank you,
