1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,080 Speaker 1: We'll start with Mike Greece follow back to mc price. 2 00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:09,520 Speaker 1: Do you see is that mean? Yes? Go ahead, Michael Great, Uh, 3 00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:14,320 Speaker 1: Bill Dante Moncrease, Uh fifty three yard kickoff return. Um, 4 00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:16,560 Speaker 1: after you got a closer look at that and reviewing 5 00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:18,599 Speaker 1: the game, what did you see there that sort of 6 00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:26,320 Speaker 1: helped create that return? Um? I'd say, you know what 7 00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,840 Speaker 1: about the way we worked on it? Um made good 8 00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:35,559 Speaker 1: double teams. Um. You know y'all had a you know, 9 00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:39,640 Speaker 1: a block that Um the defender was kind of reaching 10 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:43,800 Speaker 1: out and uh trying to make the tackle on um 11 00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:48,400 Speaker 1: Moncrief and he, you know, shows strong. Ronnie ran through it. Um, 12 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:51,160 Speaker 1: you know, did a good job of you know, getting 13 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:52,879 Speaker 1: a hat on a hat and you know, forcing an 14 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,400 Speaker 1: arm tackle or forcing a tackle in space. And uh, 15 00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:58,960 Speaker 1: the adopt it did a nice job running. You know, 16 00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 1: we finished our blocks and I've got got a good 17 00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,640 Speaker 1: field position out of it. And then one one other 18 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:08,360 Speaker 1: one I was just curious about on the challenge to 19 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:12,000 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. Um, but that's a tough one obviously 20 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,760 Speaker 1: on the opposite sideline. Are you looking at the feat 21 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:25,480 Speaker 1: on that or whether the possession was maintained throughout the catch? Yeah, 22 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:32,320 Speaker 1: this is a bad, bad challenge. So that's your okay, 23 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:40,320 Speaker 1: thank you. I'm Russian Jim mc bryan, followed by Alan Siegel. Hey, coach, 24 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 1: I know you were asked about this yesterday about Adam Butler, 25 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 1: but I'm wondering, after watching the film, how important was 26 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 1: this pressure in helping your secondary out with their coverage. Uh? Yeah, 27 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 1: we got good uh you know, good insight pressure at times, um, 28 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 1: you know, when we we're able to create some I 29 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 1: would say advantageous um rust situations. We you know, I 30 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 1: thought we rushed competitively, um when we were trying to 31 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,240 Speaker 1: play everything. You know, obviously that slows down the pass rush. 32 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 1: But you know, Adam did a good job for us 33 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 1: with the penetration where he was able to get some 34 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:25,119 Speaker 1: pressure on the quarterback, but also he caused some uh 35 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 1: created some space so that we could you know, have 36 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 1: other guys work off of him and create some pressure 37 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 1: as well. So yeah, he did a good job as 38 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 1: a productive game for him and um, you know he 39 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 1: really helps us. Thank you. Yeah, next question will be able. Yeah, sorry, 40 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 1: god all, okay, thanks Stacy. Bill. Sort of a fun 41 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 1: offbeat question for you, sort of maybe to picky football 42 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 1: mind a little bit. Um yesterday. Of course, Denver went 43 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,360 Speaker 1: into the game without any of their quarterbacks and they 44 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 1: had a practice wide receiver, practice squad wide receiver guy 45 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,400 Speaker 1: bed their quarterback. I got discussing this with someone the 46 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 1: other day about what could be done. And here's here's 47 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 1: the question with the old silver the old single wing 48 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 1: ever work in today's NFL to get something somebody different 49 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:27,359 Speaker 1: if they had no quarterbacks? All right, Well, essentially that's 50 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,959 Speaker 1: what the wildcat is. The wildcasts just a version of 51 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 1: of the single wing. So you know, I think that's 52 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 1: what you know in terms of the running game. You know, 53 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 1: it gives you an X the blocker, and you know 54 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 1: it's kind of the advantage of that that formation, which 55 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 1: you know teams use from time to time um these days. 56 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 1: So so you know, with a single wing and wildcast 57 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 1: me you know, basically the same thing, the same same idea. Okay, 58 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 1: thanks Bill, Yeah, you're welcome. Next next question, Michael Hurley 59 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 1: fallbang genkaih Hey, Bill, I was just wondering. I'm not 60 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 1: to beliebor a point because I know you're asked about 61 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 1: it yesterday on the illegal blindside block. I think everybody, 62 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 1: you know, let's watch football and been a part of 63 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,159 Speaker 1: football gets confused by that. I know it came up 64 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 1: with you guys last year in the preseason. Two. How 65 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,280 Speaker 1: do you coach a young player or any player in 66 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,720 Speaker 1: that situation, given the way that it's kind of part 67 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 1: and parcel to playing football. Yeah, well, I think that 68 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 1: the question was asked yesterday to the referee to Bill Benefits, 69 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 1: and so let's think the way he answered is really 70 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 1: that's the answer to the question. Doesn't really matter what 71 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 1: you think or what I think. It's we've got to 72 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 1: play the game the way it's being called, and that's 73 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 1: what we'll do. Our next question junkie called by Zach Cox. Bill, 74 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 1: we saw GC Jackson leaves the game played with what 75 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 1: appeared to be an injury. Just wondering if there was 76 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:21,600 Speaker 1: days an update on on his status or his condition. Yeah, well, 77 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 1: you know, we're in a little different situation this week 78 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,160 Speaker 1: here with the you know, there's a change in the 79 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 1: protocol and so forth. So we'll you know, evaluate everybody 80 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,040 Speaker 1: and again a lot of times it takes a day 81 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 1: or two, you know, get a get a good evaluation 82 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 1: of where everybody is after the game. But well, we'll 83 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 1: have the injury we're on Wednesday, Fay Song. You know 84 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:48,039 Speaker 1: the factors that we can um based on the information 85 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 1: that you know comes back, you know, the next couple 86 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 1: of days and then what their availability is on Wednesday. 87 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 1: But those those questions are always, you know, really dependent 88 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,560 Speaker 1: on time time, and with a little more time you 89 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 1: always have better answer to the questions. So we'll see 90 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:10,799 Speaker 1: we're were on Wednesday. Thanks, And just one other question, 91 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 1: just see you get started. Obviously, Michael, when you and 92 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 1: Jermaine a luminore at tackle, those are guys who might 93 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 1: have been the past been more viewed as as guard 94 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 1: body shapes or obviously a one who played a lot 95 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 1: of guard and not much tackle at Michigan. Is there 96 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 1: anything recently that's it made you guys more willing to 97 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 1: use shorter players or players they've got as much length 98 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:42,200 Speaker 1: at the tackle position. I don't know, Man, A lot 99 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 1: of people thought Light wasn't long enough to play there, 100 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 1: and I know he had a pretty good career at 101 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 1: left tackle. So to me, it's more about you know 102 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 1: the same thing about when while you guys talking about 103 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:55,840 Speaker 1: him not being long enough to play left tackle. So 104 00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:02,280 Speaker 1: I mean, I look at good players and that's that's 105 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 1: what's important. To me is how good the player is not. 106 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 1: I mean there's you know, as obviously, there's prototypes and 107 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,680 Speaker 1: so forth, and there's you know, those guys that can 108 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 1: play a position and as guys that can. We've got 109 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 1: some great players like Kevin Falk and Troy Brown and 110 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 1: Matt Lighte who maybe under size for their position or whatever, 111 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 1: but that they're good football players, are good football players. 112 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 1: Thank you. Questions that constball approach. Hey, Bill, I just 113 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 1: wanted to follow up on Mike's question about Dante Moncrief. 114 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 1: Moncrea said yesterday that he hasn't really returned many kicks 115 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,840 Speaker 1: since his rookie season. I was just carryous. What led 116 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 1: you guys to, uh to the decision that he was 117 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 1: the best guy to handle that role. Well, we made 118 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,320 Speaker 1: a few changes last week. I mean, I'll say ever, 119 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 1: return game hasn't been pretty as much the first um, 120 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 1: you know, ten weeks of the season, so um, you know, 121 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 1: we did some things differently yesterday and players did a 122 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 1: good job and we had better results. So that was 123 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 1: one of the changes that we made. Next question Dan 124 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 1: roached by Mike pe Okay, just a quick question to 125 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 1: follow up something you had mentioned earlier. What is uh, 126 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 1: what's the adjustment for you guys with the protocols in 127 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,560 Speaker 1: place of shutting the facilities down today and tomorrow. How 128 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,199 Speaker 1: much of an adjustment is it? And I guess it's 129 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,839 Speaker 1: just part of the protocol going forward. But what's it 130 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 1: like for you guys to go through this process. Well, 131 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 1: we've been through before, so you know, a lot of 132 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 1: the things that we're doing here are you know, what 133 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 1: we've done at some other point during the year in 134 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:53,840 Speaker 1: some shape or form. You know, there's some other things 135 00:08:53,920 --> 00:09:00,840 Speaker 1: that are you know, some other I would say less 136 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 1: noticeable things maybe too you know, people outside the organization, 137 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 1: but internally there there's some other adjustments that we've had 138 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 1: to make as well. So, um, but I mean, look 139 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:14,719 Speaker 1: that's where we are this year. There's going to be 140 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 1: things you know, we've done differently all year and I'm 141 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:20,599 Speaker 1: sure there'll be more somewhere along the way. So you know, 142 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 1: whatever they are, they are, we'll work it out. But 143 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 1: the virtual meetings and UM, you know, some some little 144 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:35,600 Speaker 1: things we have to work through logistically internally with the players. Um. 145 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 1: Travel and there's a number of different things. Some affect 146 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:43,640 Speaker 1: you today, some or affect you when you travel. Some 147 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 1: affect you on game day. Some you know, we'll affect 148 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 1: them our people in the facility, et cetera. So you know, 149 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 1: whatever they are, they are and we'll take them as 150 00:09:52,520 --> 00:10:02,199 Speaker 1: they come. Like the last question we make, this is 151 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 1: a little bit tied to Alan's sequel's question with the 152 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:06,839 Speaker 1: you know, I don't know if you're even familiar. The 153 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:10,600 Speaker 1: Bronco has basically got their quarterback room wiped out due 154 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,439 Speaker 1: to COVID, and it made me wonder if you've had 155 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:17,679 Speaker 1: Cheek Dolgala your practice squad quarterback separate, you know, from 156 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 1: the other three guys this year just to avoid that. Yeah, well, 157 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,200 Speaker 1: I mean that all sounds good. You know, I don't 158 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,559 Speaker 1: know how you you know, teach two different rooms of 159 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 1: the same you know, players that played the same position. 160 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:38,360 Speaker 1: So you know, look, we we separate people as much 161 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 1: as we can. Anyway, there's a certain element of players 162 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 1: that play the same position being together. I mean, I 163 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 1: think that's unavoidable, UM, to a certain degree. You know, 164 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 1: could you set it up differently? You know, I guess 165 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 1: you probably could. I'm sure there's a lot of different 166 00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 1: ways to do it. UM will continue to do what 167 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:03,319 Speaker 1: we feel like a best sense safe Obviously, if we 168 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 1: didn't do anything at all, we'd be safe. But I 169 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,839 Speaker 1: don't think you can really practice them play very well 170 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,959 Speaker 1: doing it that way. So at some point you've got to, 171 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:14,719 Speaker 1: you know, meat, prepare and play. So sure, if we 172 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:16,559 Speaker 1: all just sat around at a bubble and you know, 173 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 1: maybe nobody get anything, but I can't imagine we'd be 174 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 1: a very good football team. So let's try to find 175 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 1: strike the best balance we can to prepare a practice 176 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,559 Speaker 1: and play. So that's what we'll continue to do. And 177 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 1: then I know yesterday you mentioned Juan Bentley scraping on 178 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,319 Speaker 1: the goal line on that stand. You know at the 179 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 1: end of the second quarter. When you watch the play again, 180 00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 1: did anything else on that particular place stand out to 181 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:48,679 Speaker 1: you that led to the good result for you guys? Yeah, way, 182 00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 1: a good penetration inside Adam. You know, I had some 183 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:56,960 Speaker 1: penetration and might to force might to force the ball 184 00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:01,199 Speaker 1: over there, and um, you know LG had a good 185 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 1: you know, a good charge there. Um you know, I 186 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:06,199 Speaker 1: think I think Drake went where he had to go. 187 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:08,480 Speaker 1: I think that's where the space was. It was really 188 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:13,199 Speaker 1: a good strong tackle by Juwan that kept them out. Um. 189 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,079 Speaker 1: I think we've all seen those plays where you know, 190 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:19,400 Speaker 1: the back's able to get hit on a half yard 191 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 1: line or whatever and and get into the end zone. 192 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,839 Speaker 1: And that was one of those yesterday where he got 193 00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 1: hit and and he didn't get in. Um. But you 194 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 1: know there was one later in the game when a 195 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:36,040 Speaker 1: similar play that they scored on where he ye know, 196 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,680 Speaker 1: contacting there around the one maybe a half yard line 197 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 1: and you know the back punches it in. So you know, 198 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 1: I think really a lot that play was just came 199 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 1: down to the tackle and u the contact and the 200 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:53,160 Speaker 1: tackle and and honestly to play before where um, you 201 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:56,720 Speaker 1: know john and Adam Butler, uh, you know we're able 202 00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:00,600 Speaker 1: to keep Johnson from from getting into the end zone. 203 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 1: You know, as knee went down just just short of 204 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,959 Speaker 1: the goal line m after they've ruled it a touchdown 205 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,120 Speaker 1: and they stopped finding it on the review that it 206 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,640 Speaker 1: was just short. So again it's just a couple of 207 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:12,680 Speaker 1: inches there. But you know, you fight for every yard, 208 00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:16,680 Speaker 1: every every foot, every inch, and you know that's okay, 209 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:22,679 Speaker 1: you know, came out in our favor. Thank you, You're welcome, 210 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 1: Thank you coach, Thanks everyone, Okay, thank you
