Like so I'm excited to see us continued, 50 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 4: even at this point of the season, have opportunity to 51 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 4: grow get better. 52 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 3: Like I'm excited for it. 53 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,359 Speaker 1: Coach, as you've had some time to reflect, what about 54 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 1: team identity? How important is that and how do you 55 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 1: see it with the Texans heading into these final four 56 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:25,640 Speaker 1: games of the regular season. 57 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 4: Yeah, with our identity right, it's still that swarm mentality 58 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:34,120 Speaker 4: from our offense, defense, and special teams. That's who we are, right, 59 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 4: and that's just operating with precision. That's the first and foremost. 60 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 4: Like when I talk about precision, it's just everybody being 61 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 4: on all the small details of your job, being exactly 62 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,359 Speaker 4: where you're supposed to be. Like when we operate with precision, 63 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 4: then we play with exceptional effort, and I see that identity. 64 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 4: It shows up at times for us, you know, honestly, 65 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 4: but I want to see it more consistently. 66 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 3: Like the effort. 67 00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 4: A lot of big plays gotten out on us, especially defense, 68 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,080 Speaker 4: because the effort wasn't all the way like it needed 69 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 4: to be. So we need to pick up that part 70 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 4: of the effort and then the physicality piece, Like we 71 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 4: want to be the most physical team when we step 72 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 4: on the field, and that's who we're becoming, right And 73 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,679 Speaker 4: it's always still a process as you go throughout the 74 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:18,799 Speaker 4: season of being playing with precision, effort and physicality. That's 75 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 4: so that's who we are, right and we show it 76 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 4: at times. We just have to be it consistently. 77 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 5: You've rubbed off on me in a sense, coach, because 78 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 5: I'll watch college games now and I know that's kind 79 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,200 Speaker 5: of off in the distance, but I watch a guy 80 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 5: that go is he swarm? 81 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 6: Like that's what That's what I want. 82 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 5: To know, Like I don't care, Like I don't care 83 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 5: how good player is, but like can he fit here? 84 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 5: Like that swarm mentality is like, but I want to 85 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 5: see in every player that you have going forward. 86 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:45,840 Speaker 6: So you definitely rubbed off from that perspective. 87 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 5: Miami's coming up, and man, I don't even tell you 88 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 5: they're fast. There's something you did talk about the press conference, 89 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 5: but even's a coordinator facing a team that's that fast. 90 00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 5: I know it sounds obvious, like, oh they're fast, they 91 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 5: can grumb by you, what are the biggest issues when 92 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 5: you're facing a team that's got that kind of explosive ability, 93 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 5: Like in a snap, they could take one to the 94 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 5: house no matter where the ball is, where it's throwing out, 95 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 5: it's handed all that. 96 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, the biggest thing is going to come down to, 97 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 4: like at the point of attack, when it's time to tackle, 98 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 4: Like you think you're there, but you have to take 99 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,839 Speaker 4: that extra step. And our guys just really have to 100 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 4: realize this week, like I need to take that extra step. 101 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,479 Speaker 4: And it's okay if you shoot your gun and you miss, 102 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,360 Speaker 4: because if everybody is swarming and running to the football, 103 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 4: then we don't really worry about the miss the missed 104 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 4: tackles or you can't be concerned or worried. Oh if 105 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,279 Speaker 4: I miss them, nobody, No, everybody's going to be around 106 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 4: the football. You just go and shoot your shoot your shot, 107 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,719 Speaker 4: and when you shoot, you may just make the guy hesitate. 108 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 3: And that's all we need. We need to got to 109 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 3: hesitate so all the. 110 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 4: Other ten guys can come and swarm the ball, carry 111 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 4: and try to take the ball away from But the speed, 112 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,360 Speaker 4: if you you mess around or you miss, like they 113 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 4: just have the ability especially the receiver where they can 114 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 4: take a slant to the house to back a chain 115 00:04:57,880 --> 00:04:59,720 Speaker 4: and do a really good job in the screen game. 116 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,040 Speaker 4: Get him the football and he can take a screen 117 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 4: and he has that explosive speed to take it all 118 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 4: the way to the house. So that's where the speed 119 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 4: shows up. 120 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,279 Speaker 1: What's the key of defending a screen since we're on 121 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 1: the subject here, because sometimes guys, you know, they do 122 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,480 Speaker 1: get fooled, but you can't be fooled. 123 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:16,840 Speaker 2: But you got to be ready for anything. So how 124 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 2: do you handle it right? 125 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,679 Speaker 4: The key to the screen is first off D line 126 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:23,039 Speaker 4: having great awareness. Right when you're not blocked, you have 127 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,480 Speaker 4: to be able to stop in your tracks and just 128 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 4: turn and follow the offensive lineman. So the offensive lineman 129 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 4: who just left you always say, you get in this 130 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 4: hill pocket and you track him and he's going to 131 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 4: take you directly to the football. That's one key with 132 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 4: the D line. And then on the perimeter, like whether 133 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 4: you're in zone coverage or man coverage, we have to 134 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 4: have the edge set at the numbers. So you want 135 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:45,839 Speaker 4: to have the ed set at the numbers, and you 136 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,480 Speaker 4: want to force that guy back into our D lineman 137 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,840 Speaker 4: who should be chasing the hip, you force him back 138 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 4: into the D lineman. That's when you get the big 139 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 4: hits on the screen. But a lot of times when 140 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,600 Speaker 4: the screen gets out, d linemen are way too far upfield, 141 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,599 Speaker 4: there's no EDG set on the perimeter, and a guy 142 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 4: can you know, get explosive play after explosive play on 143 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 4: the screen. 144 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,919 Speaker 5: Coach, I know it was twenty twenty three, but you 145 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 5: did face these guys in practice at least, and in 146 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 5: a preseason game. And I know you can't get a 147 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 5: lot out of the preseason game at that particular point, 148 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 5: but going against him in practice. 149 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 6: Just to kind of fuel that speed. 150 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 5: I know Waddle didn't participate, but Tyreek was there and 151 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,359 Speaker 5: feeling his speed and knowing his speed and changing your 152 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 5: angle as a player, like, hey, I know, if Ten's 153 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 5: got the ball, I might not need to be him here, 154 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,360 Speaker 5: I might need to beat him here. Does that help 155 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:33,039 Speaker 5: that you guys have at least faced him to at 156 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 5: least be on the same field to kind of fuel 157 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 5: that speed. 158 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:37,160 Speaker 3: I think it helps a little bit. 159 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,480 Speaker 4: But at the end, at the end of the day, 160 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 4: you're like, it's so long ago where we have a 161 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 4: lot of different guys who are here now that they 162 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 4: have to actually go out and do it, and I 163 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:47,720 Speaker 4: think we have I know we have the guys with 164 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,840 Speaker 4: the right mentality, especially on the edge, like with Kamari 165 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,479 Speaker 4: and Staying. We just have to play physical at the 166 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 4: line of scrimmage when we give the opportunity to We 167 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 4: have to play physical at the line of scrimmats to 168 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 4: try to slow down Waddle and heal well. 169 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,799 Speaker 1: With Hill, Let's get into him a little bit because 170 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,280 Speaker 1: it's unique. It seems like you could throw the ball 171 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,480 Speaker 1: as far as possible and he's gonna find a way 172 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 1: to track it down. 173 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 2: His ball location skills are outstanding. 174 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 3: It's yeah, it's ball. 175 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 4: I mean it's off the charts when you look at 176 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 4: like how many catches as he made looking over his shoulder. 177 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 4: He's an exceptional talent, right, and he's one of the 178 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 4: best receivers in his league, has been the best since 179 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,400 Speaker 4: he's been in the NFL. Like, just play after play, 180 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 4: he has a high lights show, right, you try to 181 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 4: eliminate those highlights by playing in physical and getting on 182 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 4: him as much as you can. He's gonna get touches, 183 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 4: he's gonna get plays. But we can't you know, you 184 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 4: can't lose our mind if he makes a big play, right, like, 185 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 4: it's not out of the norm, that's what he does. 186 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 4: But you kiss can't allow that big play to go 187 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 4: for six. 188 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, how about that mindset, coach, Because it's almost like basketball. 189 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 2: The other team's gonna score some baskets, right. 190 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 1: They're gonna get theirs, but you have to limit it 191 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 1: as much as possible and maintain your attitude out. 192 00:07:57,920 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 4: The biggest thing is you have to limit the explosive 193 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,240 Speaker 4: plays with these guys, so you know limited Our safeties 194 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 4: will play a big role in this game. Like when 195 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 4: the play, if it does happen to break, we don't 196 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 4: want it to break. But if a play does break, 197 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 4: our safeties have to do a great job what we 198 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 4: call erasing at play from our defense, and that's erasing 199 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 4: it by not allowing points. So safeties have to play 200 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 4: big this game. Corners have to play big and if 201 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 4: we get the opportunity, the ball comes out so quick. 202 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 4: But if we get the opportunity to rush, our d 203 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 4: Lin could play a big. 204 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:30,240 Speaker 3: Factor in his game. 205 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 4: But it's always going to start with the coverage and 206 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:34,679 Speaker 4: being tight and coverage versus their receivers. 207 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 5: Coach, We've just taken over as defensive coordinator for Miami 208 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,959 Speaker 5: has done a nice job thus far. It feels like 209 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,080 Speaker 5: the secondary has got some athletes. They got some dudes 210 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 5: that can move. Javon Holland is one of my favorites 211 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 5: a few years ago what he can do for them 212 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 5: Jay Ramsey on one side, but up front, they got 213 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 5: a few guys that can move. 214 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 6: Siler inside as a guy that can do some things. 215 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 5: What do you see with that Miami defense that CJ 216 00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 5: and the offense will have to contend with the most 217 00:08:59,040 --> 00:08:59,560 Speaker 5: first and. 218 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 4: Foremost we have containing with their D line, bigger defensive line. 219 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,080 Speaker 4: They'll have a five down front, so bigger line that 220 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 4: we have to contain with a lot of power. Siler 221 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 4: does a good job inside, and you have Tom Robinson 222 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,440 Speaker 4: who has to speed coming off the edge and Rookie 223 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,959 Speaker 4: who's figuring it out playing some productive snaps for him. 224 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 4: But I think for us offensively, you know, we have 225 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 4: to find those to find that spot in the middle 226 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:25,559 Speaker 4: of their defense, and I think that's where the linebackers 227 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:27,560 Speaker 4: think we can kind of make some plays in the 228 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,240 Speaker 4: middle of the field outside and then and in the 229 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 4: deep end. Holland, as you mentioned, he's an exceptional talent, 230 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:37,880 Speaker 4: really young player who's ascending, playing really well. Ramsey All Pro. 231 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 4: He's been productive player for every year of his career. 232 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 4: He's been one of the best corners in the league. 233 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,719 Speaker 4: But we have to move our guys around right, make 234 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,440 Speaker 4: them communicate on defense, and we still have to try 235 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:49,840 Speaker 4: to expose the middle of the field. 236 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 1: Anthony was a big free agent signing when you were 237 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,079 Speaker 1: a player here, what are your memories of playing on 238 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:56,160 Speaker 1: the same defense with him? 239 00:09:56,360 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 4: I remember Anthony Man. He's always big, smile always. He 240 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,840 Speaker 4: was always a fun guy to be around, A great teammate. 241 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,560 Speaker 4: He always always like to have a good time. So 242 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 4: I always enjoyed being around Weave him being a veteran 243 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,000 Speaker 4: as a guy that I looked up to, he played 244 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 4: the game the right way, always respecting him for what 245 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,840 Speaker 4: he's done, and just see him getting the coaching always 246 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 4: followed him and he's done a really great job everywhere 247 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,960 Speaker 4: he's being coaching, and just to see the improvement that 248 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 4: they made defensively throughout the year. 249 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,360 Speaker 3: Could have been more proud of Weave and the job 250 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 3: that he's done. 251 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,840 Speaker 4: Hopefully he's up for one of his head coaching jobs 252 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 4: that comes around at the end of this year and 253 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:37,719 Speaker 4: me and we've also shared the same birthday, so that 254 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 4: was our like instant connection. 255 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 3: Birthday brothers. So we's done a great job. 256 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 6: Tay coaches a little older. 257 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:47,960 Speaker 3: He's a little yeah, he's a little. 258 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 5: Older offensively, Nico Collins being back, Tank being back. 259 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 6: What do you want to see from your offense going forward? 260 00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 5: Because against Jacksonville it felt like in the second half 261 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 5: he started to see some of those moments like Okay, 262 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,800 Speaker 5: I like seeing this, then Joe finishing the game running 263 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 5: the football. We talked about Miami's defense and where they 264 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 5: could be vulnerable. What do you want to see from 265 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 5: CJ and the offense just from a Texan standpoint, regardless 266 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:14,839 Speaker 5: who's on the other side, whether it's any of these 267 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:16,760 Speaker 5: next four teams, but what do you want to see 268 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 5: from the offense going forward? 269 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:22,240 Speaker 4: For me, all I want to see us is move 270 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,560 Speaker 4: the ball, get positive yards, right however that looks if 271 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,360 Speaker 4: it's passing the football, that's what we lean heavy passing, 272 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 4: that's what it is, right, just continuing to gain positive yards. 273 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:34,560 Speaker 4: When we have to run it, and we can find 274 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 4: a way to run the ball, let's do it. But 275 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 4: it's to me, it's just operating and playing fast, operating 276 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 4: with that execution that I speak of, Like if we're 277 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:45,839 Speaker 4: have a guy open, let's hit him right if it's 278 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:47,880 Speaker 4: not there, how quickly can we get the ball to 279 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 4: our check down and let's let our playmakers get the. 280 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:52,959 Speaker 3: Ball in their hand and allow them to make plays. 281 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,560 Speaker 4: But I just want to see us operating as efficient 282 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,680 Speaker 4: as possible, getting the ball out quickly and also being 283 00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 4: just efficient in the run game. 284 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 3: No negative plays, no. 285 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:05,080 Speaker 4: Tackles for Losses's how can we continue to press forward 286 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 4: as always talk to our offense about it's pressing forward. 287 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:09,679 Speaker 4: That's how we get out of the third and long 288 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,840 Speaker 4: situations that we find ourselves in. Just if we handle 289 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 4: protection the right way, eliminate the negative plays, and just 290 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 4: play fast on offense, no matter who we play coming 291 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 4: down the stretch will be in a good spot. 292 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 1: Coach, and your experience coming off of buy, is there 293 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,319 Speaker 1: a common theme, like you do get a little extra 294 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 1: boost of energy. Is there any rust? Is there anything 295 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 1: to watch out for? What can you tell us about that? 296 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:33,080 Speaker 4: It's with the vibe in and so many different different 297 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:34,840 Speaker 4: parts of the season. 298 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 3: I've had them early, had them late. 299 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 4: You just want to make sure guys are getting For me, 300 00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 4: it's getting back to making sure you put the pads on, 301 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:45,320 Speaker 4: get back used to the past and playing physical. Because 302 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 4: you get away from that, you can kind of show 303 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,320 Speaker 4: up in games where the tackling it may be an issue. 304 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,600 Speaker 4: So I want to tack that head on to make 305 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 4: sure we're over emphasizing just putting body on body, wrapping 306 00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:58,840 Speaker 4: up and tackling. But I think the energy to speed 307 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 4: everything will be there, just a matter of just being 308 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:03,600 Speaker 4: efficient with the tackling. 309 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,080 Speaker 3: That's the one part that I've seen lacking. When you 310 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:07,439 Speaker 3: come up for Bowek. 311 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,720 Speaker 5: Coach, a couple of guys come back to practice, potentially 312 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,800 Speaker 5: Christian Harris being back, Kenyan Green, can you speak to 313 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 5: what they may be able to bring, whether it's this week, 314 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:17,560 Speaker 5: next week, or maybe down the road. 315 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:17,839 Speaker 3: A little bit. 316 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,319 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean getting in a Christian has been out 317 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 4: for a while. We missed him. He's missed a lot 318 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 4: of football. Unfortunate injury that happened to him. But I'm 319 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 4: just proud of the way he's persevered. It's been a 320 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,440 Speaker 4: long road and I'm happy to see him just back 321 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 4: out there today. Seeing the forty eight on the field, 322 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 4: it's encouraging. I'm excited for him and what he brings. 323 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,440 Speaker 4: He brings that speed and physicality to our defense. You 324 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,679 Speaker 4: talk about a swarm mentality like that's Christian. He's gonna 325 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 4: fly around, He's gonna play sideline the sideline, and that's 326 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 4: what that's what we need in our defense. A guy 327 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 4: like him who can play soil on the sideline, it's 328 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,320 Speaker 4: all over the field. He can take the football away 329 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:58,400 Speaker 4: so he can be an impact player for us. 330 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:00,960 Speaker 3: And as soon as he gets back on the field. 331 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 4: Kenyan, this guy, you know, he started for us for 332 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 4: a while there, and he has some good reps. You know, 333 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,200 Speaker 4: Kean has been up and down, but we know the 334 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:09,080 Speaker 4: good one is good. 335 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:09,880 Speaker 3: It be good. 336 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:11,840 Speaker 4: He's a physical guy. He can move people in the 337 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 4: run game. Just has to clean up some of the protection. 338 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,400 Speaker 4: But we'll see how he continues to progress throughout the week, 339 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 4: see how you know he comes back and if he's 340 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 4: ready to get back out there, and I think he 341 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 4: can help us. 342 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you a question about defense going 343 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,760 Speaker 1: into a game, and not this particular game, but in general, 344 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:30,600 Speaker 1: when you game play, you'd love to get pressure with 345 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:32,640 Speaker 1: the front four or not have to send anybody extra. 346 00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:34,640 Speaker 1: Do you go into a game thinking I want to 347 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 1: set extra people this game, I might not or and 348 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,200 Speaker 1: it just on the fly. How do you handle that, coach? 349 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, I always like to have like my blitzes and 350 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 4: different looks available. I always tell the coaches like, I 351 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 4: don't want to have to use these, So if I 352 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:50,760 Speaker 4: can go in and we can rush and win with 353 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 4: four like, that's ideal for any defensive coordinator when the 354 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 4: d lin is really humming up front and they're getting 355 00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 4: at their offensive line, and I can deploy more guys 356 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:03,160 Speaker 4: and coverage and we can take some things away. But 357 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 4: if you have to blitz, it just makes the look 358 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,840 Speaker 4: rite a lot easier for the quarterback. It cleans up 359 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:10,840 Speaker 4: the picture. He can see the one on one as 360 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:13,520 Speaker 4: much easier when you do blitz. So you are rolling 361 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 4: the dice a little bit there, putting the coverage guys 362 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:18,200 Speaker 4: on the island, so to speak. And they have to 363 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,640 Speaker 4: really make that play or you have to make sure 364 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 4: you're getting home. So we have to design them the 365 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:24,840 Speaker 4: right way to get the ball out of the quarterback's 366 00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:28,600 Speaker 4: hands quickly enough so the defenders can't so the dbs 367 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:30,720 Speaker 4: can't make a play on the football if it's not 368 00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:31,520 Speaker 4: designed right. 369 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:32,920 Speaker 3: And I've had some of those where. 370 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:34,880 Speaker 4: They weren't right and the quarterback is able to hold 371 00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,600 Speaker 4: on to the balls, Like why did I call that? 372 00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:38,280 Speaker 3: You know? 373 00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 4: So you have it's you know, pick your poison right 374 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 4: you have if you feel like you have a tail 375 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,840 Speaker 4: on an offense, you feel like you have their protection 376 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 4: rules down and you can attack their protection and you 377 00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:53,760 Speaker 4: know for sure you can speed the quarterback up, then 378 00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 4: let's get after it. 379 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:57,320 Speaker 3: But for me, I would like to rely on four 380 00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 3: as much as I can. 381 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:00,240 Speaker 5: You kind of took me down the road I was 382 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 5: thinking about because I was thinking about this weekend, being 383 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,760 Speaker 5: on a buy with a lot of football on. Whether 384 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:06,520 Speaker 5: you're hanging with the kids, made the kid, you're just 385 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,880 Speaker 5: watching a game and you see something and I start 386 00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 5: thinking about, like you as a play caller, as a 387 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 5: defensive play caller, how have you how have you adjusted 388 00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:17,360 Speaker 5: or how have you evolved as a play caller? Like 389 00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:20,320 Speaker 5: you came in thinking you would be like this, but 390 00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,200 Speaker 5: maybe you lean more this way because of the talent 391 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,120 Speaker 5: that you have or the talent you don't have. How 392 00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:27,280 Speaker 5: you kind of change as a play caller over the years, 393 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:29,200 Speaker 5: and in particular the last couple of years since you've 394 00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 5: been here. 395 00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,280 Speaker 4: Each each year for me, you know, I kind of 396 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 4: go in thinking one one way of how I want 397 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:39,080 Speaker 4: to be aggressive and you know, playing a tight man 398 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:42,800 Speaker 4: match coverage, and it just it continues, it evolves, I 399 00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:44,720 Speaker 4: mean weekly honestly, like. 400 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:49,480 Speaker 3: Who who's up on defense? Like you know, injuries, play. 401 00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 4: A play, a ton play a huge part in the 402 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:53,400 Speaker 4: what am I calling? 403 00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:54,480 Speaker 3: When am I calling it? 404 00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,400 Speaker 4: So it's just all based on personnel, right, and trying 405 00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 4: to make sure for me as a coordinator. When I 406 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 4: first already I had an idea, Okay, this is what 407 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:05,320 Speaker 4: I'm running. This is and then as I continue to grow, 408 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,119 Speaker 4: I see, like man, just because you like running this, 409 00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:10,639 Speaker 4: it doesn't always work right. So you have to be 410 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:13,880 Speaker 4: able to adjust and adapt also adapt to offenses who 411 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,880 Speaker 4: are changing and doing so many different things. Offenses they 412 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,199 Speaker 4: get your rules down on defense and they start to 413 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,679 Speaker 4: attack you and exploit you. So now you have to 414 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,040 Speaker 4: kind of play a step, be a step ahead, right 415 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:27,080 Speaker 4: and play that chess match which guys. So most of 416 00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,920 Speaker 4: the time is about the offensive coordinator who I'm going 417 00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:30,679 Speaker 4: against and. 418 00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:32,840 Speaker 3: How I want to move our guys around. 419 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 4: And it also has to do with the personnel that 420 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,920 Speaker 4: I have defensively, and who can I put in a 421 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,679 Speaker 4: tough matchup and not be concerned with So as. 422 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:43,520 Speaker 5: You're watching, as you're watching a game, just any game, 423 00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:45,639 Speaker 5: and you're thinking, if I was facing that offense, do 424 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:47,320 Speaker 5: you kind of play that game as you watch it? 425 00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:48,919 Speaker 6: Just kind of the game is on, You're like, yo, 426 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:51,000 Speaker 6: they do this, just kind. 427 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,880 Speaker 5: Of kind of challenging yourself, whether it's pro or college, Like, hey, 428 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:55,480 Speaker 5: if I was facing this, I think I would like 429 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:56,399 Speaker 5: to do this against them. 430 00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:57,840 Speaker 6: Do you kind of watch games that way? 431 00:17:58,000 --> 00:17:58,400 Speaker 3: Always? 432 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:03,159 Speaker 4: I can't watch games the same always, Yeah, always telling 433 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:04,879 Speaker 4: my son like, oh, they're about to run this.
