1
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:08,360
Speaker 1: The Cleveland Browns are back at practice on Thursday and dark,

2
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:12,880
Speaker 1: continuing preparation for their Christmas Eve battle with the Houston Texans.

3
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:14,480
Speaker 2: Do you give us some insight on that game?

4
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:17,160
Speaker 1: We're gonna hear from three players and three coaches today

5
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 1: on from the podium. Coordinators were up first today. They

6
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 1: spoke before practice began, and special teams coordinator Bubba Vtron

7
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:26,760
Speaker 1: was the first to go. He talked about how important

8
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 1: punter Corey Bojorquez has been to this team and what

9
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 1: he sees when he watches the special teams unit for

10
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:32,560
Speaker 1: the Texans.

11
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 3: The Texans special teams.

12
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 4: Are what are you about this week?

13
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:41,479
Speaker 5: So they have a good returner that they've played and

14
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 5: elevated to the last handful of weeks, Sims. I anticipate

15
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:47,879
Speaker 5: him being brought up to the roster by the end

16
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 5: of the week, for sure. So it's got to do

17
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 5: a good job playing leverage versus them. Very familiar with

18
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 5: the coordinator. He was my assistant for three years in Indie,

19
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 5: my first three years there, So they do a lot

20
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 5: of the same things we do, a lot of the

21
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 5: similar schemes protection, so very familiar with this team in

22
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 5: their personnel.

23
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:11,680
Speaker 6: But I know we talk all the time about when

24
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 6: there's injuries how we trickle down to you guys, But

25
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 6: I'm just kind of curious. I'm like, say, on your

26
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 6: punt team, how many guys do you think we're out

27
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:23,679
Speaker 6: there that maybe we weren't normal guys, you know, like

28
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 6: Dran was out there.

29
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 7: Right, I think the protector.

30
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,319
Speaker 6: Hasn't done it all years, So, like, how many new

31
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 6: guys you can get out there?

32
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 5: Last week on the punt we wrapped a handful of

33
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:38,400
Speaker 5: new guys. And when you're when you're doing that, you're

34
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 5: you're training those players leading up to it, so that

35
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:46,400
Speaker 5: it goes back to offseason program, right, You're trying to

36
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 5: get guys as many reps.

37
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 8: As possible in different spots for these moments.

38
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 5: So you're trying to train guys throughout the process of

39
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 5: you know, training camp and into the season and even

40
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 5: on like the red teams and Look teams that we have.

41
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 5: You want to get guys as many reps as possible

42
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 5: for when those opportunities arise and they have to now

43
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 5: step into the game that they feel confident in their

44
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 5: abilities to protect and play in those spots. So, you know,

45
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 5: guys like Harrison Bryant has played in a number of

46
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 5: different positions for us on that unit.

47
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 8: So those guys.

48
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,959
Speaker 5: Credit to those guys for being able to be inserted,

49
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 5: you know, at any time possible. Bron has done some

50
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 5: things in the past. He actually was a backup PP

51
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 5: for me in New England and he did it in Atlanta,

52
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 5: so it was an easy choice for him to play

53
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 5: in that spot next week or this past week.

54
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 3: So, but how much pride do you take when you

55
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 3: have like a core special teamer like Dan and you

56
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 3: see him get an opportunity to play on defense and

57
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 3: play as well as he did. How much pride you

58
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 3: take and seeing a guy like that get that chance

59
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 3: and thrive.

60
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,839
Speaker 5: I take a lot of pride in that, developing young

61
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 5: players and seeing them assend and having greater roles on

62
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 5: offense and defense.

63
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 8: I mean, really, if you look at the core group

64
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 8: that I.

65
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 5: Coached in Indianapolis, all those guys have elevated their play

66
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 5: and have found ways to make you know, significant contributions

67
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 5: offensively and defensively. And then de Anthony has the opportunity

68
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 5: with our safety situation to have more more opportunities defensively

69
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 5: and played a great game last week on defense for us.

70
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 5: So you know, hopefully, hopefully we can continue to develop

71
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 5: those those guys and bring them along while they're still

72
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 5: giving me contributions as well.

73
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 3: What is it about him specifically that allows him to

74
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 3: kind of be ready to step in and play like that.

75
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 8: I think he just has a knock a knack for

76
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 8: the ball, I do.

77
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 5: I think that whenever he can process quickly and and

78
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 5: just play football, I think he does a really good job.

79
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 8: Just got pretty good instincts.

80
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 9: It seems like we talk about Dustin more than we

81
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 9: talk about Corey, But can you just talk about the

82
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 9: contributribution that Corey makes week after week and just.

83
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 8: How amazing he's been. He makes it.

84
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 5: He makes it difficult on returners for sure. You saw

85
00:03:55,360 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 5: this past week, you know, we had two muffs that

86
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 5: we end up getting one of them, which is which

87
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 5: was great. It's hard to it's hard to catch a

88
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 5: lefty like him.

89
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 8: He can.

90
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 5: He can definitely put the ball out there. He can

91
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 5: also get it up, elevate the ball pretty well. And

92
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 5: he's really been a great player for us right now

93
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 5: and he continues to improve and understands how we want him,

94
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 5: how we want him to play the game and he's

95
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 5: he's improving in this plus fifty ball as well. So

96
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 5: really excited about how he's come along and gave our

97
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 5: our unit in our team. You know, I would say

98
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 5: an advantage to be able to control the field.

99
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 6: You're coaching your team obviously, But do you think the

100
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 6: wind is why the Bears didn't try the fifty four yard.

101
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 4: Or at the end of the half?

102
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, definitely, the I mean different than in past weeks

103
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 5: since I've been here, the wind has really gone the

104
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 5: other way. It's really usually coming out of the dog Pound,

105
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 5: but it was it was coming at us, coming from

106
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 5: the tunnel, and we knew that the distance going that way.

107
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:02,279
Speaker 8: Was going to be a much harder kick.

108
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 5: So credit to our defense obviously for keeping them out

109
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:08,919
Speaker 5: of that out of that range to be able to

110
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 5: attempt that kick. I was actually hoping that they were

111
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,479
Speaker 5: going to attempt it, so but they didn't.

112
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 3: Up across the league, I think there's six point return touchdowns,

113
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 3: only one true kickoff return touchdown all the year.

114
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 10: That is good.

115
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 11: Will change is to emphasize it that much or coverage

116
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:25,600
Speaker 11: teams that good.

117
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 7: What do you think that is?

118
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 5: No, I think that there's I mean the return rate

119
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 5: has definitely gone down, I think, and I don't necessarily

120
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 5: think it's the fair catch that's really brought their return

121
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 5: rate down. I think it's more teams aren't bringing the

122
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,599
Speaker 5: ball out of the end zone for whatever reason. I

123
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 5: think some teams are just content to get the ball

124
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 5: at the twenty five yard line. But I think that

125
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 5: once I think once the year is over, something will

126
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 5: happen with that with the kickoff play. Something will be adapted,

127
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 5: or they'll adopt a new type of rule or whatever

128
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 5: you want to call it. But like I said, I'm

129
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 5: can with how the rule is. Like, if you want

130
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 5: to return the ball, great, if you don't, great, But

131
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 5: I think being able to start the game and ever

132
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 5: after every score have a kick have a kickoff is

133
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 5: definitely something that I would definitely Obviously I'm a special

134
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 5: teams coordinator, but I'm all for that. I don't like

135
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 5: changing the game and making it like a gimmicky play

136
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 5: or you know, the kickoff is an exciting play. If

137
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 5: you take that away, it just you know, I don't know.

138
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:35,719
Speaker 12: Kicking down at the lake front has been a problem

139
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 12: for a lot of guys over the last decade since

140
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 12: Phil Dawson, whether it's you know, this time of year especially,

141
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 12: but just all season on because of the wins and stuff.

142
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 12: Just what's been Dustin's approach that's allowed him to sort

143
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 12: of buck that trend and have so much success at

144
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 12: the stadium.

145
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 8: I've said it a bunch.

146
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:58,840
Speaker 5: I think that his process throughout the week, understanding how

147
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 5: he approaches each week communication with me and the specialist.

148
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 8: Has just been phenomenal.

149
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 5: I know that we had talked a lot about earlier

150
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 5: in the year about trying to you know, I know

151
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 5: you guys had asked about going down and like like

152
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 5: him getting comfortable in the stadium, and brought it up

153
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,119
Speaker 5: a few of a couple weeks ago and talked through

154
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 5: you know, it changes so much down there that it's

155
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 5: it's hard to go down on like a Thursday, because

156
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 5: whatever you get on Thursday is going to be.

157
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 8: Completely different than you get on Sunday.

158
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 5: So those guys have been content about just Okay, whatever

159
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 5: we get that day, we'll attack it, make the adjustments.

160
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 5: Like this past week, the wind was way different than

161
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 5: we've seen at any point in this season, so like

162
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 5: going toward the tunnel was way different than we've had

163
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 5: the first you know, fifteen weeks of the year.

164
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 13: See how have you seen.

165
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 14: The relationship between Dustin, Corey and Charlie development and what

166
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 14: about that relationship helps them find success.

167
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 13: Together as a group.

168
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 5: No, I think I mean they get along extremely well.

169
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 5: They've all been in the league for a number of years,

170
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 5: so I think that just having the respect for each

171
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 5: other they they just have. They just have good chemistry,

172
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 5: they really do. They all connect well, and it's been

173
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 5: it's been great for that operation. They're they're they're easy

174
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 5: guys to coach. They don't really push back to me

175
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 5: at all with anything. So if I have a recommendation

176
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 5: or a suggestion, they take it and they apply it,

177
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 5: and if they disagree then they'll express their feelings. But

178
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 5: I feel like we've had really good communication with that

179
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:38,199
Speaker 5: group and all those guys work extremely hard and are

180
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 5: are true, true, true professionals, all three of them.

181
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 15: With the wind the way, with the wind the way

182
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:45,199
Speaker 15: it was the other night or the other day, was

183
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 15: it an easy decision when you.

184
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 7: And Kevin are talking about.

185
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 15: Deferring and taking the ball, so you had the win

186
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 15: behind you In.

187
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 5: The fourth quarter, Kevin and I talked about a pregame

188
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 5: and I thought that he made a really good decision

189
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:57,680
Speaker 5: to take the ball.

190
00:08:57,880 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 8: I thought that that was the best thing. We wanted it.

191
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 8: We wanted to have the win in.

192
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,439
Speaker 5: The fourth quarter, and I think that he did a

193
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:04,719
Speaker 5: good job by taking the ball there.

194
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 7: Yeah.

195
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:07,959
Speaker 14: Well, I know you talked about us in the last week,

196
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 14: but it's five points from catching Jim.

197
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:14,439
Speaker 16: Brown for the all time you know, scoring in one season.

198
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 10: He just talked about that.

199
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 5: No, like I said, he's been a he's been a

200
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 5: great player for us. The execution has been at a

201
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 5: high level, and fortunately he's made a lot of his kicks.

202
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 5: And like I said before, I think he's done a

203
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 5: tremendous job for our team. And the confidence he has

204
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 5: in our coaching staff, the head coach, GM Owners. You know,

205
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 5: he's he's earned every every bit of credit he deserves,

206
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 5: and I think he should. You know, he should really be,

207
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 5: in my mind, you know, get every accolade you could get.

208
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 5: I think he's he's done a really good job and

209
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 5: he's earned it. So he's been great for us.

210
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 8: I hope not. I hope not, and you know, yeah,

211
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 8: I hope not. I really do.

212
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:10,319
Speaker 5: MVP of this team, geez, I mean I probably shouldn't

213
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 5: even say like answer that question, but I'll answer it

214
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 5: for you. I mean, obviously I'll say dusting aside, I

215
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 5: would say ninety five. I mean, he's just ridiculous. I've

216
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 5: never seen a player. I've been in the league since

217
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 5: two thousand and five. I've never been around a football

218
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 5: player like that guy. It's unbelievable. And I think when

219
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 5: you see him, when you actually get to see him

220
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 5: in person, it just looks way different. And to me,

221
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 5: he's hands down, it's not even a question, like he's

222
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 5: hands down the best football player in the league. Like

223
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,199
Speaker 5: to me, like defensively he's he's hands down the best.

224
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 5: There's no one that's even remotely close to him.

225
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 8: In my opinion.

226
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:56,680
Speaker 13: South Dakoast State Jersey go over the media.

227
00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 5: He forgot the jersey, so I had to wear I

228
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 5: had to wear a Jack Rabbits what shirt. But I

229
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 5: will support I will support Pierre in the in the final.

230
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 5: I think the finals the Sunday before the National Championship game.

231
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,559
Speaker 8: So I wish they would play that this week.

232
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 5: It'd be so much better to just get it done,

233
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 5: but they don't want to do it. I guess with

234
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 5: the bowl games and stuff. Yeah, so they should really

235
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 5: get that game. Whoever's in charge of scheduling that, I

236
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 5: would recommend you move it to this week.

237
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 8: But I love ONEUAA football.

238
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 5: The playoffs are exciting, and congrats to the I mess

239
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 5: with Pierre and call them the little jack Rabbits, you know,

240
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 5: but congrats to the jack Rabbits.

241
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:37,560
Speaker 4: There.

242
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,680
Speaker 8: Yeah, been the best jersey in those Dan Beatons all year,

243
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 8: the best jersey.

244
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:45,079
Speaker 5: Anthony Walker has a plethora of jerseys, so he comes

245
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:48,839
Speaker 5: every week with something different, so he really keeps us,

246
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 5: you know, on our toes. I guess they're in disappointing

247
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 5: to say this, but there has not been a lot

248
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 5: of other guys that have followed suit.

249
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 8: It's really me and walk the where the jersey? These

250
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 8: on Fridays.

251
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 1: So offensive coordinator Alex van Pelt talk next. He talked

252
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 1: about how good David and Joku has been this year

253
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 1: and the confidence he had in Joe Flacco despite the

254
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 1: interception with quarter last week.

255
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know.

256
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 17: Again, this team's just resilient. You know, it's made a

257
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 17: little harder than we needed to. But you know, I

258
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 17: love the fight in this team for sure, that.

259
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 15: Offense going forward and just for him in general.

260
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 13: What did it how happened.

261
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 10: Were you for Mark Easton?

262
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:28,319
Speaker 4: Oh, it's huge.

263
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:30,679
Speaker 17: You know he's battled through some things early obviously in

264
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 17: the offseason, you know, coming back and then dealing with

265
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 17: the concussion midseason.

266
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 4: It's great to see him have productivity down the field.

267
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 15: If he does that, that open up things for other guys.

268
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 17: Absolutely, absolutely, and that's uh. You know that the play

269
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 17: was designed to go to Coop and they doubled Coop,

270
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,199
Speaker 17: so his speed allowed them to get behind the defense

271
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 17: and that was a huge play in the game.

272
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 9: Well, you have a veteran like Joe, did you even

273
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 9: know that when he was throwing your picks that you know,

274
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 9: he's just the kind of guy that was going to

275
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 9: be able to dial it back in and lock back

276
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 9: in and get the GiB.

277
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 4: Yeah.

278
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 17: I mean if that's a younger player, I mean you

279
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 17: start to get a little frazzled. But you know, the

280
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 17: older you get and you've thrown a bunch of interceptions

281
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:10,680
Speaker 17: in your time, you just got to keep fighting, you know,

282
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 17: go back to the guys like Marino like you got

283
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:15,200
Speaker 17: you gotta keep swinging.

284
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,599
Speaker 4: So you know, some of those were unfortunate.

285
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 17: Again, you know, the first one was said was just

286
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,199
Speaker 17: a misread on the coverage, so that's that's not on him.

287
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 17: The second one was a bang bang play where the

288
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 17: ball pops up.

289
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 4: You know. That's a tough one.

290
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 17: So the third one was the one he's probably most

291
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,320
Speaker 17: disappointed about. We had a chance there for a touchdown

292
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:32,680
Speaker 17: to Dave, and I think he just under threw it

293
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,440
Speaker 17: a little one. He knows that, But the veterans, you know,

294
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 17: you just keep playing short memory.

295
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,680
Speaker 18: Joked down played the fifty one yard touchdown to Mary.

296
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,599
Speaker 18: But when's the last time he saw quarterback thread it

297
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 18: like that between three defenders.

298
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 17: Yeah, that's what he can do, you know, And that's

299
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 17: a that's a tough coverage to beat. In that scheme

300
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 17: for us, there's a Cover two corner on the backside

301
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 17: that almost got underneath of that. You know, in the

302
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 17: quarterback room, I've always referred to that as a steak

303
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 17: dinner throw. So if you throw an interception of that corner,

304
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 17: you owe the whole room mistake dinner at the marble room.

305
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 17: So I'm glad it didn't happen for us. But that's

306
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:07,679
Speaker 17: tough coverage and his arm strength got that ball there.

307
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 19: You can talk about David and Jack blo I mean,

308
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 19: he's rowers stepped up the the last two weeks.

309
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:17,560
Speaker 20: You know, Ryan, Dady and Wayne and Build huge.

310
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 4: So happy for Dave because there's a guy that deserves it.

311
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 17: He works hard, he's battling through injury all all the time,

312
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 17: you know, to get there again. One of the greatest

313
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 17: teammates on our team for everything he does and one

314
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 17: of the most productive guys. I don't know if there's

315
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 17: another tight end in the league I'd rather have than David's.

316
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 15: An awe full circle for him to see him progress.

317
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 5: From a guy that embraces his role as a blocker

318
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 5: and then now to be able to get those touchdown passes,

319
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 5: to be able to get those deep balls from chesh.

320
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 17: So again, couldn't be more more happy for Dave. You know,

321
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 17: when we first got here, it wasn't always smooth sailing,

322
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 17: and you know, and he's really bought in and and

323
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 17: it shows, and Kevin's got a great trust and belief

324
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 17: in him as well, and it's great to see that

325
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 17: there's that he's thriving right now.

326
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 9: Really happy cup Trucks because you've gotten so far this year.

327
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 6: Where do you get these toy trucks?

328
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 18: And maybe he can bring them in.

329
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 17: Sometimes I can bring a truck in sure. You know

330
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 17: the toy trucks had probably toys r Us It would

331
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 17: be my guest. They're nice big trucks. Dave's probably had

332
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 17: five or six on the season so far.

333
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 4: He won one last week as well as did Harry.

334
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 17: So our tight end group had a ton of pickups

335
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 17: and that's that's that's what we you know, we're all

336
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 17: about that. When we play connected as a unit and

337
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 17: as a team, and we play for each other, we

338
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 17: generally have good days.

339
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 15: Where did that idea?

340
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 4: I guess how long have you been doing as a quarterback?

341
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 17: When I played, I always tried to be the first

342
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 17: one to help guys up off the field. That's just

343
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 17: something I always believed in. You know, the tighter the group,

344
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 17: the more success you have. And that's just something that

345
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 17: I've always done. And these guys have all bought in

346
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 17: across the board as a team and it's awesome to see.

347
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 17: You hate to see a guy lay there and then

348
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 17: guys walk away, and that's we want to put that

349
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 17: on film.

350
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 15: As you've seen them all for thirty years. What makes

351
00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 15: Mile scart different thing?

352
00:15:58,480 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 10: Doing those pass ushures?

353
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 17: Oh, he's a generational pass rusher. I mean, his his strength,

354
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 17: his power, his quickness, he's he's special. I mean, I

355
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 17: don't know if we blocked him out there on the

356
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 17: edge when we do compete period yet. So I mean

357
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 17: he's a he's dynamic, and I'm glad he's on our team.

358
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 4: We don't have to block him in a game.

359
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 15: What are some of the new wants?

360
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 12: Just about the way you guys teach and then run

361
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 12: the play action game, because even on a day.

362
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 11: Like Sunday where that when the rung game wasn't really working.

363
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 21: For you, that was still such a weapon for your

364
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 21: guys offensive.

365
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 17: Yeah, I mean, we we take pride in our ability

366
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 17: to ball handle and fake as well with our.

367
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 4: Line in our backs and our quarterback is really good

368
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 4: at it. You know.

369
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 17: It's a point of emphasis for us is to make

370
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 17: our play actions look like real runs, you know, really

371
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 17: until a team tries to stop your run with the

372
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 17: middle field open, that takes away some of those play actions,

373
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 17: but they continue to close the middle of the field

374
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 17: and give us opportunities in the play action game, which

375
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 17: was good.

376
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 6: And how tough was it to see Joel you know

377
00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 6: at the back early, you know, pregame and then not.

378
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 7: Be to finish it for you.

379
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's tough.

380
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:04,639
Speaker 17: I mean, you lose a leader in all of your offense,

381
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:08,959
Speaker 17: a great player, pro bowler. It's tough. Backs are tricky,

382
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,120
Speaker 17: you know, and it's just slipped out and that was it.

383
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 17: Appreciate him trying to battle to get through that, but

384
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 17: you know, at some point obviously you had to tap out.

385
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:18,719
Speaker 4: Uh And what a great job by Donny.

386
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:23,439
Speaker 17: Again, Donny just steps in and does his job, you know,

387
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:26,359
Speaker 17: to the best of his effort. Last week he you know,

388
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:29,160
Speaker 17: won a game ball because of it. So really proud

389
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:30,920
Speaker 17: of him. But hopefully, you know, as we move forward,

390
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 17: we can get get our guys healthy and get him

391
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 17: back in.

392
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 4: We'll see.

393
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 6: You know, obviously, you guys could run the ball if

394
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 6: you wanted to. How much of that is having four

395
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 6: guys that aren't easily out there?

396
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:42,439
Speaker 4: That's pretty big. Yeah, that's big, But that's no excuse.

397
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 17: We got to find a way to be productive in

398
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 17: the run game, regardless of who's on the field.

399
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,640
Speaker 12: As you guys have the struggles of the running though,

400
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 12: what is just impressed you about pass the game?

401
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:54,399
Speaker 11: And I know part of that's Joe, but your wider

402
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,719
Speaker 11: through receivers. The way that they've been able to have success,

403
00:17:58,440 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 11: it's been great.

404
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 17: I mean everybody has step up across the board. I

405
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 17: think we had eight or nine different completions of different

406
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:05,120
Speaker 17: players again last week, So the balls are getting spread

407
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:08,440
Speaker 17: around the field. We're using everybody, and just that makes

408
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 17: the defense play the whole field.

409
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:11,359
Speaker 22: So is he.

410
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 9: Moving maybe even a little bit better than you thought

411
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:16,679
Speaker 9: he would in the keeper game? And then also he

412
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 9: was limited or would have been limited yesterday with the

413
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 9: CAF injury. Is he totally fine and how might that

414
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 9: impact the keeper game?

415
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:22,640
Speaker 10: Yeah?

416
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 17: No, I mean he's been moving that probably better than

417
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 17: I expected. We had some huge, three big plays on

418
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 17: a scramble drill during the game, including the touchdown to.

419
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 4: Dave his CAF.

420
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 17: I know he tweaked a little bit, but I don't

421
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:36,440
Speaker 17: see that as being an issue. So yeah, but man,

422
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 17: he's made some great plays moving out of the pocket,

423
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 17: and he's also made some great plays buying time in

424
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 17: the pocket versus pressure.

425
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 4: The big one to Dave late in the game.

426
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 9: Was that changed how you guys are calling anything knowing

427
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:50,160
Speaker 9: that he is moving better than expected?

428
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it opens up some more things to

429
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 4: us for sure.

430
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 3: Going back to David when you mentioned it wasn't always

431
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 3: smooth sailing early. It doesn't always work out like this

432
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 3: for guys in situations like so, I guess what is

433
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 3: it about him that allowed him to sort of overcome

434
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 3: that stuff and and sort.

435
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:04,919
Speaker 7: Of turn things for him?

436
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 8: Uh?

437
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:07,679
Speaker 17: The person, you know, I think the person he is.

438
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 17: He's prideful, he wants to be successful, and a lot

439
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 17: of times when guys get frustrated early, it's because they're

440
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 17: not having the success that they feel like they need

441
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 17: to have. And and Dave, you know, he worked through

442
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:20,360
Speaker 17: that and then he became an unbelievable blocker, Like took

443
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 17: his game to the next level in the blocking and

444
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 17: just stayed the course and worked and worked and worked,

445
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:26,919
Speaker 17: and you know, and then again, I can't be more

446
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:28,880
Speaker 17: proud of anybody on this team than I am a Dave,

447
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:33,719
Speaker 17: you know, just for his energy, his work ethic, and

448
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 17: his ability just to the resiliency just to keep going

449
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:38,359
Speaker 17: and great player.

450
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 4: Man. I'm glad he's on our team.

451
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,440
Speaker 15: When you look at that Houston defense, where does it

452
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 15: start for you?

453
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 4: Up front?

454
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 17: Yeah, that's a really good front, you know, across the board,

455
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 17: the front the front four they rotate in, but they're

456
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 17: they're really good upfront. So that's that's where I think

457
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 17: that what drives that defense is there front.

458
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:58,439
Speaker 6: And maybe I know we talked about it Mario all

459
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 6: the time, but it's close to become I think the

460
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:02,919
Speaker 6: first Bronze receiver to go thousand yerics back to back

461
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 6: the seasons. What is it about his about him that

462
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:08,359
Speaker 6: allows him to be as consistent as he is?

463
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:11,119
Speaker 17: I mean, he's a pro. I think that's the biggest thing.

464
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:14,119
Speaker 17: He's a dynamic route runner. He can he can he

465
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 17: can create space, and he can break leverage, which is

466
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:18,640
Speaker 17: another one teams, you know.

467
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 4: They try to play true to their leverage.

468
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 17: We has a tendency to be able to break that

469
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 17: to his explosiveness route running.

470
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:25,439
Speaker 1: Jim Schwartz was the final coordinator to speak today. He

471
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 1: talked about what the lesson is on the Bears almost

472
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,120
Speaker 1: Hail Mary to end the game, and gave a great

473
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 1: comparison for Miles Garrett and how good he's been this season.

474
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:35,959
Speaker 18: This week, Kevin said that Miles should be the defensive

475
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:37,160
Speaker 18: play of the year this year.

476
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 6: Do you agree?

477
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:39,119
Speaker 10: Of course?

478
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,200
Speaker 20: You know, I think I might have said that, may

479
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 20: have said this before, but in my mind, the definition

480
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:52,359
Speaker 20: of a great defense or a great player is when

481
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 20: an opponent starts their game plan with we're we're going

482
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,720
Speaker 20: to take care of this guy, right like, we're not

483
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,639
Speaker 20: going to let this guy beat us. And he's still

484
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 20: able to be effective and he's still able to, you know,

485
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:07,920
Speaker 20: to play at.

486
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 10: A high level.

487
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:10,880
Speaker 20: So there are a lot of guys that can make

488
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 20: plays when they don't see attention and things like that.

489
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:17,119
Speaker 20: But you know, in my career, I've really seen it

490
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:18,119
Speaker 20: from three players.

491
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:19,640
Speaker 10: I've seen it from Miles.

492
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 20: I've seen it from Calvin Johnson and I was a

493
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 20: young quality control coach but it was only the first

494
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 20: three years of his career, but I saw it from

495
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:33,359
Speaker 20: Ray Lewis. Also guys that every week the opponent said

496
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:35,680
Speaker 20: this guy is not going to beat us. In every week,

497
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 20: that player still made plays. So you know, Miles fits

498
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:44,640
Speaker 20: in that category. Affects the game, helps other people make plays.

499
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 20: You know, you could we could have a two hour

500
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:52,120
Speaker 20: press conference of the ways that he affects the game.

501
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 10: I think Kevin alluded to that. Last year's we had just.

502
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 20: Tied the game up, we go out the very first

503
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 20: play they tried to get a crack toss mile side

504
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 20: and he gets a tackle for I think a six

505
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 20: yard loss, which really won that series for second and sixteen.

506
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 10: It's tough for any offense, you know.

507
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 20: And maybe if that was you know, drop back pass

508
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 20: and he got a sack, there would have been you

509
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 20: know a lot of tension, Miles. A sack sort of

510
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,920
Speaker 20: wins the game or sets the Browns up for the win.

511
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 20: But it because it was a tackle on a run play,

512
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:26,879
Speaker 20: you know, I think maybe it sort of gets lost

513
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 20: in the shuffle a little bit. But those players continue

514
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 20: to effect or continue to help our team, and we're

515
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 20: really glad to.

516
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:35,200
Speaker 10: Have him here.

517
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:38,199
Speaker 20: And then, like I said, every every opponent when out

518
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 20: when I was in Detroit with Calvin, it didn't matter

519
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 20: what people did the week before, didn't matter what they

520
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 20: you know, how they covered. It was like, okay, they're

521
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,400
Speaker 20: going to have a Calvin plan. Miles is the same way,

522
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,360
Speaker 20: you know, like we sit around a lot of times, Okay,

523
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 20: what do they do on protection on third down? And

524
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:55,880
Speaker 20: how did they do this? And I say, it really

525
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 20: doesn't matter what we sell on tape. We're going to

526
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:01,159
Speaker 20: get a different plan for for Calvin. I think, you know,

527
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:04,360
Speaker 20: in some ways. We also saw that recently from Aaron Donald,

528
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 20: and I've been on teams that you know, the offensive

529
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 20: coaches say like, hey, our number one goal is to

530
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 20: keep him from making place still make plays.

531
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 10: So we just.

532
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:14,440
Speaker 15: Talked to Buffo Ventrog.

533
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 23: He said that Miles is the best player in football,

534
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 23: hands down.

535
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 4: Do you agree with that assessment?

536
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:23,160
Speaker 10: Of course.

537
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 20: I mean I'm a little bit biased because I'm here,

538
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 20: But you know, again, for all those reasons that you

539
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 20: know that we just said, you know, it's it's really

540
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:38,880
Speaker 20: a pleasure watching watching him play and watching him affect games.

541
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:43,640
Speaker 20: And I mean say what, say whatever you want about

542
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 20: sack numbers and everything else. You know, we're we're the

543
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 20: We're the best third down defense in the league by

544
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:54,879
Speaker 20: a pretty good chunk, I think, and he has everything

545
00:23:54,920 --> 00:24:00,119
Speaker 20: to do with that. Our corners, all three are real

546
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:05,439
Speaker 20: really high in their coverage percentages. Every single one of

547
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:10,200
Speaker 20: them can can attribute some of that to to Miles Garrett.

548
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 13: Yeah, we know what the Texans lose with CJ. Stroud out'

549
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:19,640
Speaker 13: arm talent, What do they gain with Keenum in there?

550
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 10: Well, I'd I'd like to say this about c J. Stroud.

551
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,440
Speaker 20: First, I've been very very impressed with him as a

552
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:27,879
Speaker 20: rookie player. He doesn't look like a rookie out there,

553
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:30,439
Speaker 20: and you know, you see some young players.

554
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:32,120
Speaker 10: It takes him a couple of years.

555
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 20: To get really good command of where to go with

556
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 20: the ball, and the game sort of slows down for him.

557
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 20: All those things that we talk about, you know, from

558
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:45,359
Speaker 20: early in the season he had that. So he was

559
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:49,440
Speaker 20: playing at a really high level. Certainly wish him best

560
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 20: for his career. Concussions aren't something to you know, mess

561
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 20: around with. If he's able to to to play, we'll

562
00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:01,920
Speaker 20: be ready for him. But you know, he made accurate throws,

563
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 20: He used his legs, had great command of what they

564
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:10,719
Speaker 20: were doing offensively, recognized coverages, recognized blitzes, all the you know,

565
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 20: they're their top five and passing yards and the least

566
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 20: amount of turnovers in the league. Sometimes that doesn't go

567
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:21,720
Speaker 20: hand in hand. Sometimes you ring up the.

568
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 10: Scoreboard a little bit with a lot of.

569
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:25,920
Speaker 20: Pass plays, but you're also throwing interceptions and that kid

570
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 20: hadn't done that case. Ketam has been around for a

571
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 20: long time as all the experience in the league. Obviously

572
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 20: he was here. He led the Vikings to an NFC

573
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:40,359
Speaker 20: championship game. I was in Philly when when we played him.

574
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 20: You know, a true vet that has seen everything, very

575
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 20: accurate passer. He does it a little bit different than c. J. Stroud,

576
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 20: but you know led him to a win last week.

577
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 20: And you know, when it's all said and done, head

578
00:25:56,520 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 20: coaches and quarterbacks are judged on wins, and you know,

579
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:01,960
Speaker 20: Case Kingdom is a winner.

580
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:03,680
Speaker 10: So we're going to have to play our very best

581
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 10: against him.

582
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 20: Our guys know him a little bit, some of his

583
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 20: strengths and his weaknesses. So again, whatever the Texans do

584
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:14,959
Speaker 20: at quarterback, you know we're prepared. We're prepared not just

585
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,119
Speaker 20: for them, but for Davis Mills also.

586
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:20,359
Speaker 6: And what are you thinking on during that hail Mary?

587
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:22,919
Speaker 6: And what are the coaching points about if you want

588
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:24,200
Speaker 6: you guys to do anything different there?

589
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:29,440
Speaker 20: Yeah, you know, actually the play before we were poor on. Well,

590
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 20: first of all, they should never even get in position

591
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 20: for hail Mary when it's thirty seconds, like you know,

592
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 20: we we are probably our worst play, our worst play

593
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 20: the game is gave up that chunk when they were

594
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 20: on their twenty five and it put them in position

595
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:48,119
Speaker 20: to take shots. And you know, we we just assumed

596
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:49,920
Speaker 20: the guy was going to run out of bounds, and

597
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:52,919
Speaker 20: that's that's a bad that's a bad business to be in.

598
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 20: But the play before, we were really protecting the sideline

599
00:26:57,080 --> 00:27:00,640
Speaker 20: and the end zone. And you know, they didn't make

600
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 20: the play, but we could have played that a lot

601
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:07,440
Speaker 20: different and could have put ourselves in better position there.

602
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 20: We have some tools in our toolbox to be able

603
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 20: to handle it. You know, anytime they're throwing at the

604
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 20: end zone, there's so much of randomness that goes into it, right,

605
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:19,359
Speaker 20: you know. And we talk about you know, guys getting

606
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:21,919
Speaker 20: up and driving the ball down, getting the ball on

607
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 20: the ground, and we talk about guys putting bodies on

608
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 20: guys in boxing out, you know, And I thought we

609
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:31,920
Speaker 20: had good bodies on guys and our jumpers did get

610
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:34,160
Speaker 20: the ball down. So happened to go to a guy

611
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 20: that was laying on the ground, you know. And in

612
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 20: all your coaching points, you know, like you know, as

613
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 20: you're covering a lot of things, guys going for the back, tip,

614
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 20: guys for the front, tip who's going up, who's going down.

615
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 20: I don't think the coaching point has ever included when

616
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:51,679
Speaker 20: a guy's laying on the ground, you know, So you know,

617
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 20: and he had been going up and Greg was Greg

618
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 20: was on him and sort of bodying him out. That

619
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 20: just goes to show you in no situations, anything can happen.

620
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:05,199
Speaker 20: And I think the coaching point and the lesson learned

621
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:07,640
Speaker 20: in that with our guys is don't don't get them

622
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:10,439
Speaker 20: in that position. You know, if we played better, you know,

623
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 20: better sort of fence defense you know earlier on, you

624
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:21,159
Speaker 20: know they're they're they're doing razzle dazzle, you know, throwback

625
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 20: and you know that kind of stuff as opposed to

626
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 20: taking shots.

627
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:24,879
Speaker 10: At our end zone.

628
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 20: We we did put ourselves like when they did get

629
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,359
Speaker 20: there all of a sudden, now we're pretending protecting field

630
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 20: goal too. We had a couple of good snaps to

631
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 20: keep them at a field goal range.

632
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 10: But we got to do better.

633
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 20: We gotta do better to keep them from getting in a

634
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 20: position where randomness can cost you the game, and it

635
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 20: almost did in that case.

636
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 8: Minor point.

637
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 13: Why was it jokmmteals for that play when.

638
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 20: He was on the first half the Yeah, the first half,

639
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 20: the first half, hal Mary was different personnel group and

640
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 20: it was more just a zone get back. The last

641
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 20: play of the game, we were in a different personnel package,

642
00:28:58,840 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 20: a dime package.

643
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 10: But you know, I would say this about Jay Okay.

644
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 20: We're he's getting more and more involved in all our packages.

645
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 20: His step as a young player was sort of mastering

646
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 20: his own position first, and you know, he had a

647
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 20: little bit of ups and downs, but he was making

648
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 20: good progress.

649
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 10: He's played at a really high level the last.

650
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 20: Month or so, and we've made a big point to

651
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 20: try to get him more on those things. It's puts

652
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 20: more on his plate having to do techniques that he

653
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 20: hasn't done before, lead the huddle, do those kind of

654
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 20: things that he hasn't done before. But you know, SIONI

655
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 20: did a good job on that play. SIONI did exactly

656
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 20: what we're supposed to do. And you know that's generally

657
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 20: been Anthony Walker's position, you know. And then you know,

658
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 20: a short week, well not a short week, but when

659
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:52,240
Speaker 20: Awalk couldn't play before the game, it's probably a little

660
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 20: bit too late to get Jeremiah in that role. But

661
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 20: you're gonna see Jeremiah in some of those third down roles.

662
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 20: It's time for him not to leave the feat for us,

663
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 20: you know what I mean. And you know it's gonna

664
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 20: it's gonna be a little bit more ask of him,

665
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 20: and but he's up for it, and you know, he's

666
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 20: he's an impact player for us, and I've been really

667
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 20: proud of the progress that he's.

668
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 3: Made to the defense.

669
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 5: When you're going on the road, try to turn that

670
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 5: record around and get right so you can get those

671
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 5: wins in the tough road environments.

672
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 20: Yeah, I think that, you know, you start off your

673
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 20: game plan every week with the players and the schemes

674
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 20: and those things, and as the week goes on, you know,

675
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 20: it needs to after you get past that point, it

676
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:42,479
Speaker 20: needs to go into more of the you know, us

677
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 20: against the world kind of mentality. You're going into a

678
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 20: hostile environment and embracing that, and you know, that's that's

679
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 20: another step that we need to take as a team

680
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 20: and as a defense. Is you know, is winning on

681
00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 20: the road? You know it's hard, you know, when you

682
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 20: get December and you get January and games mean a lot.

683
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 20: Winning on the road means an awful lot. And we

684
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 20: haven't always played our best on the road. And we've

685
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 20: learned some lessons and hopefully that will pay off for

686
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 20: us now as we mature and we sort of you know,

687
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:18,720
Speaker 20: learn learn how to deal with it and what's at sake.

688
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:20,200
Speaker 10: You know, we get a lot.

689
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 20: Of energy from our home crowd, right, every single one

690
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 20: of our guys will talk about that, right, you know,

691
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 20: and it's you know how much the dog pound and

692
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 20: everything else sort of helps us to have the things

693
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 20: that we value, right, the effort and the and the

694
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 20: personality and the swag and you know, the physical toughness.

695
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 20: All those things we feed off of our crowd. But

696
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 20: we got to manufacture it a little bit more on

697
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 20: the road, and the best way to manufacture it is

698
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 20: to sort of create that us against the world, you know,

699
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:50,840
Speaker 20: going into the Lions then kind of thing that'll be,

700
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 20: it'll be, it'll be a great environment. You know, Houston's

701
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 20: battling for the division lead. You know, we're all you know,

702
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:02,320
Speaker 20: we're all playing games in December, so we look forward

703
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 20: to that challenge.

704
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 3: And when we've talked to the players about surviving ups

705
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:07,760
Speaker 3: and down to the season, culture is a word that

706
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 3: comes up.

707
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 7: So what's the importance to that and what does that.

708
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 10: Word mean to you?

709
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 20: Yeah, I think I quoted Mike Vrabel before and Ravees

710
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 20: had a really good way of saying culture And I

711
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 20: can't remember exactly the way it was, but its Culture

712
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 20: is defined by how you are when things are the worst.

713
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 20: I think, I don't want to step on step on him.

714
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 20: But you know, like it's easy for culture to be

715
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:36,720
Speaker 20: good when things are going well, right, I mean, it's

716
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 20: sort of the definition of being a front runner, right,

717
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:41,600
Speaker 20: you know, Hey, when things are going great, everybody can

718
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 20: be you know, first guy in the meeting, everybody can

719
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 20: be unselfish everybody.

720
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 10: You know, like all.

721
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 20: Those things are easy to do when you're winning. When

722
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:54,240
Speaker 20: you experience some injuries, or you experience a couple of

723
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:57,720
Speaker 20: losses in a row, or any of those things, when

724
00:32:57,720 --> 00:32:59,719
Speaker 20: you don't have good culture, all of a sudden, you

725
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 20: start seeing guys that become maybe a little bit selfish,

726
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:06,800
Speaker 20: or guys start dropping off, or you know, you start

727
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 20: you start getting all those things. We haven't seen that

728
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 20: from this team. This team has been resilient, you know,

729
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:14,720
Speaker 20: particularly recently. We we've had to deal with a lot

730
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 20: of injury situations. You've seen unselfishness from from players, you know.

731
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 20: So you know, with with that in and it's not

732
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 20: like things are bad. I say when when When when

733
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 20: you're at your worst or when things are the worst,

734
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 20: how you are is how culture is defined. But I'd

735
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 20: probably just shift that a little bit. Your culture is

736
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 20: defined by, you know, how you act when things are

737
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 20: most challenging, and we've you know, we've had some challenging times,

738
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 20: you know, all season as a team, you know, and

739
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:51,120
Speaker 20: and when it's all said and done, you rely on

740
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:55,120
Speaker 20: your culture as opposed to you know, whatever a certain

741
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 20: play call or you know, certain personnel package or anything else.

742
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 20: And you know, that's one of the things we've been

743
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 20: we've been preaching here probably since you know, almost a

744
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 20: year ago, when I sat up here and said the

745
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:10,719
Speaker 20: things that we value and what we're going to try

746
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:15,839
Speaker 20: to emphasize, you know, and you know, the schemes are transient.

747
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,719
Speaker 20: You know, they come and go, and you know, all

748
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 20: those different things. But you know, I found with our

749
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 20: guys when you bring things to their attention, when you

750
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:27,560
Speaker 20: when you ask something from them, they've responded really well.

751
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:31,279
Speaker 20: And I think, you know, that's that's a good definition

752
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:34,680
Speaker 20: of you know, or that's a good indicator of how

753
00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:36,359
Speaker 20: our culture has carried us this year.

754
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:38,520
Speaker 7: Time for one more miles.

755
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:42,239
Speaker 9: Garrett was hoping that his post game venting about the

756
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 9: officiating might have sort of the desired effect of bombing

757
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:47,800
Speaker 9: game and perhaps hold.

758
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 11: Would get called it didn't work out that way. What

759
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:51,719
Speaker 11: are your thoughts on that?

760
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 9: And what can you guys, what can he do to

761
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:55,759
Speaker 9: you know, to beat this sort of thing.

762
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:58,240
Speaker 20: Yeah, he just he just keeps going out and doing

763
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 20: what he does, which is play hard and be relentless

764
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 20: and not get discouraged. And you know, I think it

765
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:09,319
Speaker 20: was a couple of weeks ago we were playing Jacksonville,

766
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 20: those last couple series. I don't know if I've ever

767
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 20: seen him rush as well, and that was you know,

768
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:16,760
Speaker 20: he was you know, wasn't getting the benefit of calls,

769
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:19,200
Speaker 20: but it wasn't affecting his next snap.

770
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:20,560
Speaker 10: He just kept on going.

771
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:23,839
Speaker 20: And you know, I think in any of those things,

772
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:27,880
Speaker 20: you know, we're we're trying to we're trying to concentrate

773
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:32,160
Speaker 20: on ourselves. We play, we let the officials officiate, and

774
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 20: you know, I mean hopefully you know, they can see

775
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,359
Speaker 20: some of those things and you know they can help him.

776
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 20: My biggest concern with Miles isn't necessarily you know, getting

777
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 20: the flags which you know put him back ten yards

778
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:49,719
Speaker 20: or any of that stuff. You know, that guy, that

779
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:53,239
Speaker 20: guy is so unusual when you rush to pass or

780
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:57,359
Speaker 20: you you your body gets in some in some tough positions, right,

781
00:35:57,440 --> 00:36:00,920
Speaker 20: you get that torque, you get that lean and those things,

782
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 20: and we protect ball carriers and a lot of things

783
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:06,040
Speaker 20: with like horse collars and face masks and you know,

784
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:08,880
Speaker 20: different things like that to try to keep them from

785
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 20: bidding injured.

786
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:11,560
Speaker 10: But you're very vulnerable as a past.

787
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 20: Rusher a lot of times, and some things that don't

788
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:19,160
Speaker 20: look like much can you know, can be can be

789
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 20: tough situations, can be dangerous situations for defensive players. And

790
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:28,280
Speaker 20: that's that's probably my biggest concern is his his physical

791
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 20: health when things like that happen. You know, I make

792
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:35,719
Speaker 20: bad calls in the game, players make bad plays. Official officials,

793
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:38,160
Speaker 20: I'm sure they're they're not happy one hundred percent with

794
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 20: the way the games play out, but you know, with

795
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:44,439
Speaker 20: an eye toward player safety and things like that, when

796
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:49,760
Speaker 20: when guys, when guys get yanked or or torqued or turned,

797
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:53,399
Speaker 20: you know, you can see some of those, you know,

798
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:57,960
Speaker 20: those muscle injuries or those skeletal injuries come to the forefront.

799
00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 20: And you know, I know, are officials have player safety

800
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:02,480
Speaker 20: in mind.

801
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 10: And things like that.

802
00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 20: But I think a lot of times we think about

803
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:07,640
Speaker 20: ball carriers when we think about player safety right in

804
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:10,880
Speaker 20: defensives players and some of those kind of hits. But

805
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:13,799
Speaker 20: you know, being a defensive coach, you know those pass

806
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:17,880
Speaker 20: rushers are vulnerable an awful lot, and you know, I

807
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:20,200
Speaker 20: think that that they deserve the same kind of protection

808
00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:21,719
Speaker 20: that some of the offensive players get.

809
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 1: The players were up next to they talked after practice,

810
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 1: and wide receiver Amari Cooper was up first. He talked

811
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:28,440
Speaker 1: about how the team is feeling about the chance to

812
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 1: make the playoffs and what he saw on that big

813
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:33,560
Speaker 1: touchdown pass he caught from Joe flackout so on in

814
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:34,279
Speaker 1: second and.

815
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 13: Third watch that throw that Joe made to you on

816
00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:38,920
Speaker 13: that touchdown?

817
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:40,839
Speaker 7: How much more amazing does it look?

818
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:43,200
Speaker 17: What you kind of see it, you know from the

819
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:47,960
Speaker 17: old Tony two as you know after the fact.

820
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:51,200
Speaker 19: Yeah, just him threatening Needle, just him trusting him to throw,

821
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:53,880
Speaker 19: trusting in me to be while I was supposed to be.

822
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:55,719
Speaker 7: Even though it seemed like.

823
00:37:57,400 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 19: To the I guess you would say untrained, I like

824
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:02,920
Speaker 19: it was a bad decision, but it really but it

825
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:03,840
Speaker 19: obviously it wasn't.

826
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:05,359
Speaker 4: You know.

827
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:08,319
Speaker 19: He had enough faith, uh in trust in his arm

828
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:11,120
Speaker 19: and you know what we practiced to understand that you

829
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:13,560
Speaker 19: know it will be a successful player, and I and

830
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:15,920
Speaker 19: I would be I was supposed to be so it

831
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:19,439
Speaker 19: it looked truly amazing uh on film, Uh as well

832
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:24,160
Speaker 19: as you know in persons.

833
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:27,960
Speaker 24: Your shoe over these three games, yeah, I mean, uh,

834
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:30,520
Speaker 24: you know, every quarterback is a little bit different, uh

835
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 24: in terms of you know, their time and and everything

836
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:33,560
Speaker 24: like that.

837
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 19: So I would say with each week, I'm learning them more,

838
00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 19: picking up on his time and how he likes to

839
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 19: throw certain routes.

840
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:43,719
Speaker 7: So I would say we're growing for sure.

841
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 15: He cat techee secondary work for child.

842
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:53,799
Speaker 19: You spend in present games, Yeah, I mean just still

843
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:54,680
Speaker 19: defense as a whole.

844
00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:55,880
Speaker 7: You know, they're pretty sound.

845
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:58,359
Speaker 19: You know, they have a good d line, they have

846
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:03,279
Speaker 19: good dbs and they play hard. You know, they're playing

847
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:07,279
Speaker 19: good football right now. So definitely it will present a

848
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:09,120
Speaker 19: challenge to us. But as long as we stay ahead

849
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:12,799
Speaker 19: of the change, as long as we execute, we'll be fine.

850
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:15,839
Speaker 7: How do you see David and jo.

851
00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 19: I mean David has always been the same, you know,

852
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:26,400
Speaker 19: he I mean, he's he's the he's the kind of

853
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:30,239
Speaker 19: teammate that binds everybody together. I will say in terms

854
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:33,000
Speaker 19: of his ability, you know, he's always been a uh

855
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:36,799
Speaker 19: you know a fast player, especially in terms of him

856
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:40,120
Speaker 19: being a tight end. So it's always uh been a

857
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:42,600
Speaker 19: mismatch for guys guarding him.

858
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:43,400
Speaker 7: Uh in that respect.

859
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 19: But also, you know, other than his speed, you know

860
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:50,319
Speaker 19: he has good hands, good understanding of the game. And

861
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:53,399
Speaker 19: one thing about David is uh, you know he he

862
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:56,680
Speaker 19: he's forever learning, you know, getting better at the things

863
00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:58,279
Speaker 19: that he feels like you need to get better at.

864
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 7: So that's I would say, that's yeah.

865
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:04,200
Speaker 19: What's m m uh most impressive about him is his

866
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:06,040
Speaker 19: his willingness to learn year in and year out.

867
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:08,560
Speaker 18: Well, you just mentioned these kind of teammate deviance people together.

868
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:10,280
Speaker 18: We heard people talk about how could have a teammate

869
00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:12,920
Speaker 18: he has. What is it that he brings as a teammate,

870
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:15,120
Speaker 18: I guess you gotta he's anything.

871
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:22,120
Speaker 7: It's a picker, You're right, I I would say his energy.

872
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:23,440
Speaker 7: You know, it's hard to explain.

873
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:25,359
Speaker 19: I I guess the best way I would explain it is, uh,

874
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:30,720
Speaker 19: we're here together every day. Some days are good days

875
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:33,880
Speaker 19: for an individual, some days or not. I think he

876
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:36,759
Speaker 19: can kind of pick up and since you know, when

877
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:39,280
Speaker 19: a guy is down, the guy maybe going through something,

878
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:43,239
Speaker 19: and he has that ability to uplift that guy and

879
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:45,840
Speaker 19: and talk to him, uh, or when they need to

880
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:48,640
Speaker 19: be talked to. So I would say that's that's the

881
00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:49,799
Speaker 19: thing for sure.

882
00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:51,759
Speaker 7: See, you have another.

883
00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:55,080
Speaker 13: Thousand yard season less of the year breach. It's not

884
00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:58,439
Speaker 13: unusual for your he a lot of you know, hitting

885
00:40:58,480 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 13: about receiving words.

886
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:01,960
Speaker 7: Yuh, yeah, I heard.

887
00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:02,600
Speaker 20: I heard.

888
00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:08,399
Speaker 24: Exactly sounds like uh should have happened during the last

889
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:09,000
Speaker 24: fifty years.

890
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:13,880
Speaker 19: Surprised you Yeah, it is kind of surprised a little bit,

891
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:17,160
Speaker 19: But at the same time, it's not you know, uh,

892
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:20,160
Speaker 19: you know, things happen throughout the course of the season.

893
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:23,800
Speaker 19: You know, I obviously there have been a lot of

894
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:27,040
Speaker 19: guys you know who've played here who definitely, without a

895
00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:29,920
Speaker 19: shadow of a doubt, has had the ability to you know,

896
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 19: go back to back thousand yard seasons.

897
00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:35,359
Speaker 7: But you know, uh, extinguating circumstances happen. You know, guys

898
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:37,680
Speaker 7: get injured and whatnot.

899
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:40,720
Speaker 19: So you know, it's definitely something I don't take for granted,

900
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:43,920
Speaker 19: just just to come out here every day and be

901
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:48,200
Speaker 19: able to grind, be able to you know, be consistent, uh,

902
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:49,720
Speaker 19: for my teammates and for the group.

903
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:55,799
Speaker 18: As a modo quarterbacks this year and especially cha coming

904
00:41:55,840 --> 00:42:01,560
Speaker 18: in here. It just it feels like on the outside

905
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:04,799
Speaker 18: looking him that he's I don't know, added in an

906
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:06,880
Speaker 18: unquantifiable albument.

907
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:11,200
Speaker 11: Took a lot from outside of just the physical.

908
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:12,120
Speaker 15: Ability of that he binds.

909
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:14,160
Speaker 7: Can you sense that?

910
00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:18,160
Speaker 18: And what can you I guess articulate that I I

911
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:21,480
Speaker 18: I as far as you know those intangibles, Yeah, you

912
00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:22,920
Speaker 18: know he's injected.

913
00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:24,879
Speaker 7: Into this locker room. Yeah, no, one hundred percent.

914
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:28,480
Speaker 19: I think the best way to probably describe it is, UH,

915
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:32,880
Speaker 19: he's like a faith multiplier. It's like when he k

916
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:36,160
Speaker 19: when he came in, guyss like it's like a you know,

917
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:38,239
Speaker 19: weight lifted off of our shoulders, Like, yeah, you know

918
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:40,399
Speaker 19: this is the guy. You know, we trust in him,

919
00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:42,440
Speaker 19: you know for whatever reason, you know, cause a lot

920
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:45,520
Speaker 19: of guys, you know, they know of Joe, but they

921
00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:48,400
Speaker 19: haven't seen him play every game. It's just you know,

922
00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:52,360
Speaker 19: his credentials, you know, super Bowl winner, you know, consistent quarterback,

923
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:55,640
Speaker 19: you know, throws a great ball. UH has a great

924
00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:59,560
Speaker 19: understanding of the game. So yeah, that I think that's

925
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:01,360
Speaker 19: what uh or draws everybody tools.

926
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:07,200
Speaker 16: A chance this week in more to put the playoffs earth. Uh,

927
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:09,680
Speaker 16: given everything st You's been doing this year or injury

928
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:12,560
Speaker 16: wise and otherwise, just how much of her the leaves.

929
00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:16,279
Speaker 11: For you guys to uh uh check that box?

930
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:17,360
Speaker 13: Is one of the goals that you wanted to.

931
00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:22,040
Speaker 19: Accomplish, Yeah, obviously, you know, making the playoffs, that's pretty

932
00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:24,600
Speaker 19: much the first goal of every team, just to be.

933
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:25,440
Speaker 7: Able to get there.

934
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:28,640
Speaker 19: You know, you worry about the gravy so to speak,

935
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:33,359
Speaker 19: after you actually make the playoffs. So yeah, I mean

936
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:36,800
Speaker 19: it'll it'll be a great feeling m and then we

937
00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:37,640
Speaker 19: would just go from there.

938
00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:40,040
Speaker 6: So remember when you talk about the fact to back

939
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:42,480
Speaker 6: that was in Europe received you know, with the Bruns,

940
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:44,480
Speaker 6: you better bunch you on your curve.

941
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:47,680
Speaker 15: So how important is that it's consistency to you that

942
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:50,080
Speaker 15: you're doing a year in your own Yeah.

943
00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:51,680
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's It's very important.

944
00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:53,520
Speaker 19: You know, like I said before, you know, just to

945
00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:58,600
Speaker 19: be consistent, uh, just to be reliable, just to be available. Uh,

946
00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:01,960
Speaker 19: it means a lot to me, you know, you know,

947
00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:05,600
Speaker 19: being able to play through whatever circumstance and still be

948
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:08,320
Speaker 19: able to you know, do my job. It It definitely

949
00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:11,160
Speaker 19: means a lot that I'm able to do that and

950
00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:11,719
Speaker 19: help the team.

951
00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:15,440
Speaker 13: Is that does it a little fark? Because vigorated your

952
00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:18,520
Speaker 13: did you recipient if some of those who came in

953
00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:19,040
Speaker 13: the strikes.

954
00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:22,279
Speaker 19: Uh, yeah, I'll be lie if I said it didn't. Uh,

955
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:27,080
Speaker 19: because he throws such an easy ball to catch. So yeah,

956
00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:29,200
Speaker 19: I mean the receivers. You know, if you acts any receiver,

957
00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:31,680
Speaker 19: they love a a very catchable ball.

958
00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:34,680
Speaker 13: Make Is it the accuracy or does type.

959
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:39,040
Speaker 19: Spagu Obviously it's the accuracy, but uh, it's not necessarily

960
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:41,520
Speaker 19: a tight spiral. I would more say s more so

961
00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:48,279
Speaker 19: say velocity and trajectory of the ball. You know, the

962
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:50,920
Speaker 19: ball has a little less velocity, but because he's on

963
00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:52,799
Speaker 19: time with the throw, it doesn't fit.

964
00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:54,759
Speaker 7: It's not a late throw. It's still on time. But

965
00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:56,040
Speaker 7: it's just easy to catch.

966
00:44:56,600 --> 00:44:56,719
Speaker 2: Uh.

967
00:44:56,920 --> 00:44:59,560
Speaker 19: You know, receivers, even though they shouldn't, we all like

968
00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:02,240
Speaker 19: to think about the yards after the catch, and sometimes

969
00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:04,680
Speaker 19: we neglect actually the catch point.

970
00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:06,680
Speaker 7: That's how a lot of receivers drop balls.

971
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:08,800
Speaker 19: But you know it seems like, you know, with a

972
00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:10,440
Speaker 19: quarterback like Joe, you can kind of get away with

973
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:12,839
Speaker 19: that because you don't really have to think about catching

974
00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:19,800
Speaker 19: the ball because it's such an easy grab. That No,

975
00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:23,400
Speaker 19: so it might have looked like it, but that's the thing.

976
00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:26,439
Speaker 19: Even even his straight line balls. You know, they don't

977
00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:29,120
Speaker 19: come in with a lot of velocity, but they're on time,

978
00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:31,040
Speaker 19: so it was an easy grab.

979
00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:32,839
Speaker 2: All Pro guard Joel Botonio was next.

980
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:34,759
Speaker 1: He talked about how his back injury is feeling and

981
00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:36,239
Speaker 1: if he thinks he's going to be able to get

982
00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:37,680
Speaker 1: out on the practice field this week.

983
00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:40,160
Speaker 13: Have you been able to practice without.

984
00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:45,520
Speaker 7: I have not practiced this week yet, so we're still

985
00:45:45,520 --> 00:45:45,960
Speaker 7: working through that.

986
00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:48,719
Speaker 23: I did just get done get a little run out there,

987
00:45:49,239 --> 00:45:51,719
Speaker 23: and uh, we're progressing really well, you know, so we'll

988
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:55,160
Speaker 23: see how it goes tomorrow. But you know, from where

989
00:45:55,200 --> 00:45:57,680
Speaker 23: I was Sunday Monday to where I am now, it's

990
00:45:57,760 --> 00:46:01,080
Speaker 23: it's been a positive and we'll kind of take it

991
00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:01,680
Speaker 23: one day at a time.

992
00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 11: How you're feeling a Sunday because telling you about Someday

993
00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:07,520
Speaker 11: to where you feel now, Like, how.

994
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:08,160
Speaker 19: Would you compare it?

995
00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:13,719
Speaker 7: Yeah? The scale things are hard for me, but a

996
00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:14,239
Speaker 7: lot better.

997
00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:14,560
Speaker 10: You know.

998
00:46:14,760 --> 00:46:16,160
Speaker 23: I always weird when you go to the doctor and

999
00:46:16,239 --> 00:46:17,640
Speaker 23: like what level of pain are you in it? I'm like,

1000
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:19,719
Speaker 23: is it ten like getting cut in half? Or it's

1001
00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:23,440
Speaker 23: a ten? You know how I feel right now? But no,

1002
00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:25,240
Speaker 23: I do feel a lot better. I mean Monday morning

1003
00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:27,680
Speaker 23: was very difficult for me to get out of bed

1004
00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:32,000
Speaker 23: and make it, you know, just those those backs.

1005
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:32,120
Speaker 20: You never know.

1006
00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:34,560
Speaker 23: But I'm feeling a lot better now and hopefully I

1007
00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:40,120
Speaker 23: continue to progress. I have not seen an acupuncturist. I

1008
00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:42,239
Speaker 23: have there are some other things that we do, but

1009
00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:43,640
Speaker 23: I have not seen an acupuncturist.

1010
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:46,800
Speaker 11: Is this something you've been playing with and through or

1011
00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:49,160
Speaker 11: is it just something you popped.

1012
00:46:48,920 --> 00:46:49,480
Speaker 10: Up on here?

1013
00:46:49,920 --> 00:46:51,960
Speaker 7: Uh, it popped up and it hasn't bothered me this year.

1014
00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:55,280
Speaker 23: I have in the past had some you play football

1015
00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:57,040
Speaker 23: the NFL for a decade, you have some back issues,

1016
00:46:57,160 --> 00:46:59,279
Speaker 23: you know, but not this year.

1017
00:46:59,320 --> 00:46:59,840
Speaker 7: I've at dealt with it.

1018
00:46:59,880 --> 00:47:01,960
Speaker 23: A kind of just popped up Sunday, honestly, And so

1019
00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:04,880
Speaker 23: that's one of those ones that you know, you try

1020
00:47:04,920 --> 00:47:06,960
Speaker 23: and play through an ankle or a shoulder or knee,

1021
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:08,960
Speaker 23: but when you can't really get in your stance, it's

1022
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:20,879
Speaker 23: hard to go out there and go out there and play. Yeah,

1023
00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:22,960
Speaker 23: we won't get into a bit of the nitty gritty,

1024
00:47:23,040 --> 00:47:26,239
Speaker 23: but but yeah, we're we're feeling a lot better. And

1025
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:29,840
Speaker 23: to me personally, you know, I think it's more muscle

1026
00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:33,359
Speaker 23: spasm issues and and hopefully you can correct those as

1027
00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:40,960
Speaker 23: the week goes on, understand like what's the heck?

1028
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:46,840
Speaker 11: Also want to also understand you don't want to do

1029
00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:49,319
Speaker 11: damage that could maybe be worse.

1030
00:47:51,840 --> 00:47:53,800
Speaker 7: Yeah, it is.

1031
00:47:53,960 --> 00:47:56,439
Speaker 23: It is something you think about. But for us, every

1032
00:47:56,440 --> 00:47:58,040
Speaker 23: game is really a playoff game. For us, we're trying

1033
00:47:58,080 --> 00:48:00,200
Speaker 23: to win as many as we can. So for me,

1034
00:48:00,280 --> 00:48:01,759
Speaker 23: if I if I can play, I'm gonna I'm gonna

1035
00:48:01,760 --> 00:48:03,759
Speaker 23: be out there and trying to help the team. But

1036
00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:06,320
Speaker 23: that's something that you know, the training staff and the

1037
00:48:06,360 --> 00:48:08,680
Speaker 23: coaching staff kick can think about. But for us, I

1038
00:48:08,719 --> 00:48:11,040
Speaker 23: think if you're healthy and you can, you can help

1039
00:48:11,080 --> 00:48:14,720
Speaker 23: the team and you're not gonna truly truly damage yourself.

1040
00:48:14,719 --> 00:48:16,319
Speaker 23: I think I think most guys want to be out there.

1041
00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:31,759
Speaker 23: I don't think so. I think what I was doing

1042
00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:34,440
Speaker 23: was like, at least for me, when my back blocks up,

1043
00:48:34,920 --> 00:48:37,319
Speaker 23: like lifting my legs and moving my legs helps try

1044
00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:39,200
Speaker 23: and loosen it up. So I was trying to get

1045
00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:41,680
Speaker 23: some movement back in there and just trying to feel

1046
00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:45,000
Speaker 23: where I was at. But so from that perspective, it

1047
00:48:45,040 --> 00:48:46,480
Speaker 23: wasn't any like correlation.

1048
00:48:46,560 --> 00:48:47,160
Speaker 7: I don't think.

1049
00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:52,040
Speaker 15: Commasbe the topics you ever played. Roughing it to finished

1050
00:48:52,040 --> 00:48:54,839
Speaker 15: the season the bas Mass apparently move.

1051
00:48:55,280 --> 00:48:56,959
Speaker 7: I don't know how he did, like if.

1052
00:48:56,880 --> 00:49:00,360
Speaker 15: You try could be great about bis aamer to do that.

1053
00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:03,359
Speaker 23: I haven't talked to me yet, but I do remember

1054
00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:04,719
Speaker 23: him telling me about that early in my career. He

1055
00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:06,680
Speaker 23: texted me the other day about my beard, said it

1056
00:49:06,719 --> 00:49:09,160
Speaker 23: was looking good. So maybe I can correlate that into

1057
00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:10,920
Speaker 23: like a question about his back, you know what I mean. So,

1058
00:49:11,800 --> 00:49:14,400
Speaker 23: but no, I do remember him talking about that, and

1059
00:49:15,120 --> 00:49:17,279
Speaker 23: like we said, Beck's you know, it's one of those

1060
00:49:17,280 --> 00:49:19,319
Speaker 23: ones that are you never truly know how it's how

1061
00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:20,040
Speaker 23: it's gonna react.

1062
00:49:21,440 --> 00:49:23,960
Speaker 18: I guess I mean for you was because he takes

1063
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:26,520
Speaker 18: so much pride in being out there every step. At

1064
00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:28,680
Speaker 18: one point, did you like, how hard is it for

1065
00:49:28,719 --> 00:49:30,440
Speaker 18: you to actually just take a meet there and say, hey,

1066
00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:31,640
Speaker 18: I need somebody to kind of work that.

1067
00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:35,880
Speaker 23: Yeah, when I realized, like they called the play and

1068
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:38,759
Speaker 23: I was like, I'm gonna have to pool on this

1069
00:49:38,840 --> 00:49:40,600
Speaker 23: play outside and I was like, I don't even think

1070
00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:42,759
Speaker 23: I can get in my stance right now. And so

1071
00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:45,360
Speaker 23: at that point, I was like, I'm gonna hurt the

1072
00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:47,200
Speaker 23: team by being out here, and I mean I might

1073
00:49:47,239 --> 00:49:48,480
Speaker 23: not even be able to get out of my stand

1074
00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:50,120
Speaker 23: so that was that was kind of the moment. I

1075
00:49:50,200 --> 00:49:51,560
Speaker 23: was like, all right, I have a lot of faith

1076
00:49:51,600 --> 00:49:53,719
Speaker 23: and Done, he does a lot of work for us,

1077
00:49:53,800 --> 00:49:55,600
Speaker 23: and he's gonna go out there and compete and be

1078
00:49:55,680 --> 00:49:56,719
Speaker 23: ready to go. We'll see what I can do on

1079
00:49:56,760 --> 00:49:58,520
Speaker 23: the sideline if if it's gonna loosen up at all.

1080
00:49:58,600 --> 00:50:01,440
Speaker 23: But when I knew Done, I had told Done, you know,

1081
00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:03,600
Speaker 23: because it kind of happened a pretty game a little bit.

1082
00:50:04,040 --> 00:50:06,239
Speaker 23: I had told Done like to be ready, and he was.

1083
00:50:06,440 --> 00:50:08,560
Speaker 23: He was ready like always to to come in in battle.

1084
00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:10,920
Speaker 15: Did you like you're frozen, Like, did you have to

1085
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:13,600
Speaker 15: tell Jaren to hey, let's stop just light?

1086
00:50:14,160 --> 00:50:16,359
Speaker 23: Well, Jaren was kind of the one. He's like Joel

1087
00:50:16,520 --> 00:50:19,000
Speaker 23: like if you can't go, you know, taking knee and so.

1088
00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:21,279
Speaker 23: And then I was just like, all right, I'm gonna

1089
00:50:21,320 --> 00:50:23,799
Speaker 23: do that. But yeah, I mean, if you have back stuff,

1090
00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:32,240
Speaker 23: when it locks up, it locks up pretty goods.

1091
00:50:31,920 --> 00:50:32,160
Speaker 18: Start.

1092
00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:37,200
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's something you don't want to happen.

1093
00:50:38,520 --> 00:50:40,560
Speaker 23: But why it's been why it's been strong for us

1094
00:50:40,640 --> 00:50:42,560
Speaker 23: this year, you know, he's he's been the guy that's

1095
00:50:42,680 --> 00:50:45,640
Speaker 23: that's been out there for us and and we've had

1096
00:50:46,080 --> 00:50:48,120
Speaker 23: far too many injuries, you know, it's one of those

1097
00:50:48,719 --> 00:50:51,160
Speaker 23: unlucky stats for us. But looking back at the game,

1098
00:50:51,160 --> 00:50:53,160
Speaker 23: when you have one starter left, it's usually not good.

1099
00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:55,160
Speaker 23: But those guys fought the guys that come in for

1100
00:50:55,600 --> 00:50:59,520
Speaker 23: for us and have been starting. James Jeron, you know, Dunny,

1101
00:50:59,719 --> 00:51:02,120
Speaker 23: Nick Harris, like those guys are ready to battle too,

1102
00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:05,480
Speaker 23: and and they've done such a good job. But but

1103
00:51:05,680 --> 00:51:07,239
Speaker 23: why it's really you know, he was the last one

1104
00:51:07,280 --> 00:51:08,760
Speaker 23: out there, so he's kind of last man standon.

1105
00:51:10,600 --> 00:51:12,800
Speaker 14: I'm sorry, tass game.

1106
00:51:13,840 --> 00:51:16,799
Speaker 15: Just different challenge gets.

1107
00:51:19,520 --> 00:51:20,680
Speaker 7: Yeah, they're playing really well.

1108
00:51:21,360 --> 00:51:23,160
Speaker 23: I think their front four is kind of the strength

1109
00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:25,120
Speaker 23: of their their team, and they rotate it because they're

1110
00:51:25,160 --> 00:51:26,960
Speaker 23: kind of similar to us, Like they let the front

1111
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:30,040
Speaker 23: four go. They're athletic, they're they're powerful guys. They rush

1112
00:51:30,120 --> 00:51:33,000
Speaker 23: the passer well, and it kind of lets they're back in,

1113
00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:35,240
Speaker 23: you know, play a little bit more aggressively and stuff.

1114
00:51:35,320 --> 00:51:37,239
Speaker 23: But but they do a good job. It's kind of

1115
00:51:37,280 --> 00:51:39,279
Speaker 23: the same cut as like the San fran defense. You know,

1116
00:51:39,800 --> 00:51:42,799
Speaker 23: four down, get up the field. But I think it starts.

1117
00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:44,319
Speaker 23: I think all four of their starting guys have at

1118
00:51:44,400 --> 00:51:47,279
Speaker 23: least five sacks, a bunch of pressures and they and

1119
00:51:47,320 --> 00:51:49,360
Speaker 23: they make things happen and they're all just pass us

1120
00:51:49,440 --> 00:51:51,160
Speaker 23: because they've done pretty good job gainst run as well.

1121
00:51:52,120 --> 00:51:54,040
Speaker 15: You get the right game, I know you weren't in

1122
00:51:54,080 --> 00:51:56,520
Speaker 15: their bunch, man, Like, just how hard? How much can

1123
00:51:56,560 --> 00:52:01,160
Speaker 15: you attribute the struggles to four guys haven't played much fit?

1124
00:52:01,920 --> 00:52:04,799
Speaker 23: It's part of it, for sure. You know, you want

1125
00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:06,080
Speaker 23: to have your five guys out there, you want to

1126
00:52:06,080 --> 00:52:06,920
Speaker 23: have Nick Chubb out there.

1127
00:52:06,960 --> 00:52:11,640
Speaker 7: But but it's the details, like coach.

1128
00:52:11,480 --> 00:52:13,640
Speaker 23: Of stress of details this week, and and you watch

1129
00:52:13,719 --> 00:52:15,920
Speaker 23: the film and it's like one guy here or one

1130
00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:17,880
Speaker 23: guy there where where it's like, man, that could have

1131
00:52:17,920 --> 00:52:18,440
Speaker 23: been a big hit.

1132
00:52:18,600 --> 00:52:19,520
Speaker 7: That could have been a big hit.

1133
00:52:19,600 --> 00:52:21,680
Speaker 23: You know we had we had just a little miscommunication,

1134
00:52:21,800 --> 00:52:23,680
Speaker 23: and I think that does come with playing with each

1135
00:52:23,680 --> 00:52:25,200
Speaker 23: other and understanding and communication.

1136
00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:27,880
Speaker 7: But we see the opportunities there.

1137
00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:29,680
Speaker 23: The opportunities are still there, and if teams want to

1138
00:52:30,120 --> 00:52:31,880
Speaker 23: try and stop the run, then I think we have

1139
00:52:32,120 --> 00:52:34,359
Speaker 23: Joe Flacco and those guys ready to pass them off

1140
00:52:34,400 --> 00:52:34,880
Speaker 23: with any.

1141
00:52:34,719 --> 00:52:38,120
Speaker 10: Think, Joe, how weird is it with this late this

1142
00:52:38,200 --> 00:52:38,840
Speaker 10: in a stretcher.

1143
00:52:38,880 --> 00:52:40,480
Speaker 3: You got a Christmas in your game, then you get

1144
00:52:40,800 --> 00:52:42,760
Speaker 3: three days later, you got the Christmas holiday in between,

1145
00:52:43,239 --> 00:52:46,439
Speaker 3: and you're kind of just hoping to just focus.

1146
00:52:46,120 --> 00:52:47,640
Speaker 13: On this and then after that you got to take

1147
00:52:47,640 --> 00:52:47,959
Speaker 13: a breath.

1148
00:52:48,600 --> 00:52:51,440
Speaker 23: Yeah, it's uh, it's kind of one of the I mean,

1149
00:52:51,560 --> 00:52:53,880
Speaker 23: Thursday late in the season's tough to turn around anyway,

1150
00:52:54,200 --> 00:52:57,399
Speaker 23: and then it's Christmas week, so it's a little bit different.

1151
00:52:57,400 --> 00:52:59,040
Speaker 23: We're really focused on Houston right now, and then we

1152
00:52:59,120 --> 00:53:00,880
Speaker 23: know we got to come in and work you know

1153
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:04,080
Speaker 23: the Christmas and in the next few days. But it's

1154
00:53:04,160 --> 00:53:06,520
Speaker 23: kind of like that whenever this week started, that ten

1155
00:53:06,600 --> 00:53:08,839
Speaker 23: day stretch and and get through that and see where

1156
00:53:08,840 --> 00:53:10,319
Speaker 23: we're at and and kind of refocus from there.

1157
00:53:13,560 --> 00:53:16,480
Speaker 11: Easier to be a Christmas time.

1158
00:53:17,960 --> 00:53:19,520
Speaker 13: A little the business trip.

1159
00:53:19,640 --> 00:53:22,279
Speaker 7: Atmosphere, it is more business trip.

1160
00:53:22,360 --> 00:53:22,480
Speaker 8: You know.

1161
00:53:22,520 --> 00:53:26,640
Speaker 23: We played at Green Bay on Christmas, I think Christmas

1162
00:53:26,680 --> 00:53:29,839
Speaker 23: Eve this year. Obviously, the hardest part is the kids,

1163
00:53:29,880 --> 00:53:31,200
Speaker 23: Like my kids, you know, I want to be there

1164
00:53:31,239 --> 00:53:32,160
Speaker 23: with them on Christmas Eve.

1165
00:53:32,320 --> 00:53:34,759
Speaker 7: But hopefully I get home and I can you know,

1166
00:53:35,239 --> 00:53:36,440
Speaker 7: see him Christmas morning.

1167
00:53:36,600 --> 00:53:38,560
Speaker 23: But I think the team will be focused, you know,

1168
00:53:38,680 --> 00:53:40,440
Speaker 23: on the game, and we understand it's our job to

1169
00:53:40,880 --> 00:53:43,400
Speaker 23: play for more blessed to play football, so we're not

1170
00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:45,600
Speaker 23: complaining about it, but just gives and takes you know,

1171
00:53:45,719 --> 00:53:47,040
Speaker 23: if you're home, you're kind of with your family.

1172
00:53:47,040 --> 00:53:49,399
Speaker 13: A little more New Orleans coming in the next year,

1173
00:53:49,400 --> 00:53:53,239
Speaker 13: and yeah, going there with wind.

1174
00:53:54,480 --> 00:53:56,120
Speaker 23: Yeah, I think there's something to that. You know, guys

1175
00:53:56,160 --> 00:53:59,520
Speaker 23: are focused on the trip and there's possibly less distractions

1176
00:53:59,520 --> 00:54:02,600
Speaker 23: when you try. You know, it's it's part of the

1177
00:54:02,640 --> 00:54:05,360
Speaker 23: game though, but yeah, it's something Hopefully, you know, we

1178
00:54:05,400 --> 00:54:06,640
Speaker 23: can be a team that gets to win this week

1179
00:54:06,680 --> 00:54:07,640
Speaker 23: and head home, you know.

1180
00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:09,560
Speaker 1: On Christmas Eve, wrapping up the day and the podium

1181
00:54:09,680 --> 00:54:12,879
Speaker 1: was Brown's Pro Bowl cornerback Denzel Ward. He talked about

1182
00:54:12,920 --> 00:54:15,920
Speaker 1: if he thinks people are underrating this Browns team and

1183
00:54:16,120 --> 00:54:17,520
Speaker 1: how his shoulder injury felt.

1184
00:54:17,560 --> 00:54:21,480
Speaker 2: After the game on Sunday, he said, you would.

1185
00:54:21,320 --> 00:54:24,040
Speaker 7: Have been a full participation guest pranctice lay to day,

1186
00:54:24,080 --> 00:54:24,960
Speaker 7: but it gives.

1187
00:54:24,800 --> 00:54:26,399
Speaker 13: A shoulder back to being hundred.

1188
00:54:26,880 --> 00:54:29,600
Speaker 14: It's getting there. Yeah, it's getting They're feeling good. So yeah,

1189
00:54:29,640 --> 00:54:29,960
Speaker 14: I'm good.

1190
00:54:30,200 --> 00:54:33,040
Speaker 15: Did you feel any limitations in the Chicago.

1191
00:54:34,800 --> 00:54:36,879
Speaker 14: It was fine, It was all rightast it's getting better.

1192
00:54:36,880 --> 00:54:39,160
Speaker 14: I'm out there playing with my guys. I'm just I'm

1193
00:54:39,200 --> 00:54:40,839
Speaker 14: just glad to be bad, glad to be out there

1194
00:54:40,880 --> 00:54:42,399
Speaker 14: and trying to get a win each week.

1195
00:54:43,920 --> 00:54:44,080
Speaker 5: Great.

1196
00:54:44,080 --> 00:54:46,279
Speaker 11: Guess you're what you talked about. He's still feeling like

1197
00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:49,239
Speaker 11: you guys says it's a cornerback unit. Maybe don't get

1198
00:54:49,320 --> 00:54:53,120
Speaker 11: all three the credit last that way too. You guys

1199
00:54:53,160 --> 00:54:54,120
Speaker 11: are maybe still underrated.

1200
00:54:55,520 --> 00:54:58,440
Speaker 14: Yeah, I definitely feel that we're underrated. But I mean

1201
00:54:58,480 --> 00:55:00,280
Speaker 14: I feel if you look at the numbers in the stats,

1202
00:55:00,360 --> 00:55:01,000
Speaker 14: numbers don't lie.

1203
00:55:01,040 --> 00:55:01,400
Speaker 21: You see that.

1204
00:55:01,600 --> 00:55:04,200
Speaker 14: Uh, we're top of the league at a lot of

1205
00:55:04,440 --> 00:55:06,560
Speaker 14: a lot of stats and a lot of things and

1206
00:55:06,680 --> 00:55:08,600
Speaker 14: man and man and just coverage wise.

1207
00:55:08,719 --> 00:55:11,080
Speaker 21: So I think we're definitely underrated. But I mean we're

1208
00:55:11,120 --> 00:55:11,880
Speaker 21: just going out there to.

1209
00:55:12,280 --> 00:55:13,880
Speaker 14: Keep being the best we can for our team to

1210
00:55:14,040 --> 00:55:15,480
Speaker 14: help us get a win each week.

1211
00:55:15,960 --> 00:55:21,759
Speaker 22: Watched the sorry as you watch the team back mary

1212
00:55:22,200 --> 00:55:25,439
Speaker 22: game in real times, no more racket, but just how'd

1213
00:55:25,480 --> 00:55:28,239
Speaker 22: you guys kind of fun and react the second time around, having.

1214
00:55:28,200 --> 00:55:29,560
Speaker 8: Kind of renase the man.

1215
00:55:29,960 --> 00:55:31,520
Speaker 14: That was the longest play ever, So I was just

1216
00:55:31,640 --> 00:55:34,239
Speaker 14: glad that ball seemed h be Bill end up picking

1217
00:55:34,280 --> 00:55:35,960
Speaker 14: that ball off and we got the win.

1218
00:55:36,160 --> 00:55:38,719
Speaker 21: So it was a long play. Everybody did a good

1219
00:55:38,800 --> 00:55:40,280
Speaker 21: job of executing their assignment.

1220
00:55:40,440 --> 00:55:42,400
Speaker 14: Uh, there's little things that we could do better to

1221
00:55:42,880 --> 00:55:45,279
Speaker 14: not even let it get to in the hands of

1222
00:55:45,640 --> 00:55:48,600
Speaker 14: the guy. But guys, it good and making a play

1223
00:55:49,080 --> 00:55:49,880
Speaker 14: and getting to win.

1224
00:55:50,640 --> 00:55:52,160
Speaker 15: You were here with Kase Keen for a couple of

1225
00:55:52,280 --> 00:55:55,799
Speaker 15: years and he's can start for them, So like, how

1226
00:55:55,840 --> 00:55:57,880
Speaker 15: does it help that you have that familiarity and just

1227
00:55:57,920 --> 00:55:59,240
Speaker 15: what stays rights support?

1228
00:55:59,480 --> 00:56:02,279
Speaker 14: Yeah, definitely, I'm definitely familiar with Case and how he

1229
00:56:02,480 --> 00:56:04,520
Speaker 14: likes to play, So I think that's a plus and

1230
00:56:04,640 --> 00:56:07,680
Speaker 14: going into the game and he's a good quarterback, able

1231
00:56:07,719 --> 00:56:10,440
Speaker 14: to get the ball to those guys and uh, make

1232
00:56:10,520 --> 00:56:13,280
Speaker 14: the throws needed and get an offense moving.

1233
00:56:14,560 --> 00:56:18,520
Speaker 18: Defensive plays and the numbers back and just seem to

1234
00:56:18,560 --> 00:56:21,480
Speaker 18: play much much better at here than on the road.

1235
00:56:21,680 --> 00:56:25,080
Speaker 11: So the fact you got to finish three d if

1236
00:56:25,120 --> 00:56:27,040
Speaker 11: you do make the playoffs, you're probably gonna have the

1237
00:56:27,080 --> 00:56:30,960
Speaker 11: players Yep, how do you guys changes around on the wods.

1238
00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:35,319
Speaker 21: So like, yeah, that's a challenge for us this week.

1239
00:56:35,640 --> 00:56:38,239
Speaker 14: We know that, uh that we definitely have played better

1240
00:56:38,320 --> 00:56:39,880
Speaker 14: at home, but that's the challenge we were willing to

1241
00:56:39,920 --> 00:56:41,839
Speaker 14: take on this week and trying to find a way

1242
00:56:41,880 --> 00:56:43,800
Speaker 14: to get a win on the road, and uh, I

1243
00:56:43,840 --> 00:56:45,360
Speaker 14: think we're able to do that and go out there

1244
00:56:45,360 --> 00:56:47,880
Speaker 14: and execute that. Just gotta start fast and finish.

1245
00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:50,520
Speaker 18: Do you have any idea why there's such a disparity there,

1246
00:56:50,600 --> 00:56:52,279
Speaker 18: Like when you when you're in the mediate with some

1247
00:56:52,480 --> 00:56:55,239
Speaker 18: jamui or position coaches and you're breaking down films, there

1248
00:56:55,239 --> 00:56:58,200
Speaker 18: are things that you're seeing in those games that you

1249
00:56:58,280 --> 00:57:02,680
Speaker 18: can tangibly say, hey, we need to fix this list.

1250
00:57:02,560 --> 00:57:04,239
Speaker 7: And is it just more of.

1251
00:57:05,840 --> 00:57:06,040
Speaker 21: Yeah?

1252
00:57:06,040 --> 00:57:07,080
Speaker 14: I think it could be a number of things, but

1253
00:57:07,160 --> 00:57:08,960
Speaker 14: I think one of the biggest things we got star fast,

1254
00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:10,879
Speaker 14: star fast, and then uh finished the games.

1255
00:57:11,440 --> 00:57:20,360
Speaker 13: Back to think and so do you guys are tighter?

1256
00:57:22,680 --> 00:57:22,840
Speaker 20: Man?

1257
00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:27,040
Speaker 14: Oh, we're just gonna right, regardless of who's gonna be

1258
00:57:27,040 --> 00:57:29,840
Speaker 14: a quarterback, We're gonna do what we do, whether that's man,

1259
00:57:29,920 --> 00:57:33,440
Speaker 14: whether that's zone. Yeah, it doesn't matter who's back there

1260
00:57:33,440 --> 00:57:34,640
Speaker 14: a quarterback. We're gonna do what we do.

1261
00:57:35,600 --> 00:57:38,760
Speaker 16: Denzel, it's some of these you know, Grady sites that

1262
00:57:38,800 --> 00:57:41,360
Speaker 16: are out there, sometimes arbitrary, but you guys have granted

1263
00:57:41,400 --> 00:57:43,120
Speaker 16: out as like the top.

1264
00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:44,919
Speaker 11: Five corners in the game.

1265
00:57:45,720 --> 00:57:46,840
Speaker 13: Greg and MJ.

1266
00:57:47,200 --> 00:57:49,680
Speaker 16: Just how much pride do you guys take in how

1267
00:57:49,800 --> 00:57:51,800
Speaker 16: you how effective you guys have been as.

1268
00:57:52,040 --> 00:57:54,320
Speaker 11: A whole unit this year, especially versus last year when

1269
00:57:54,320 --> 00:57:56,840
Speaker 11: we were some sort of miscomas at times.

1270
00:57:57,080 --> 00:57:58,440
Speaker 21: Yeah, I think we take a lot of pride in it.

1271
00:57:58,480 --> 00:58:00,240
Speaker 14: I mean since the beginning of season, you got you've

1272
00:58:00,240 --> 00:58:01,520
Speaker 14: been hearing us talk about how we want to be

1273
00:58:01,560 --> 00:58:03,480
Speaker 14: the best in the world, and Uh, I think we've

1274
00:58:03,480 --> 00:58:05,840
Speaker 14: been consistent of showing that that we're the best corners

1275
00:58:05,880 --> 00:58:08,000
Speaker 14: out there and the best defense out there, right, and uh,

1276
00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:09,760
Speaker 14: we're just trying to continue to show that, continue to

1277
00:58:09,960 --> 00:58:13,080
Speaker 14: uh execute players out there and lock our guys down

1278
00:58:13,120 --> 00:58:14,680
Speaker 14: and make plays for this team and find a way

1279
00:58:14,680 --> 00:58:15,080
Speaker 14: to get a win.

1280
00:58:15,160 --> 00:58:16,280
Speaker 21: So we take a lot of pride in him.

1281
00:58:16,280 --> 00:58:16,760
Speaker 7: To answer your.

1282
00:58:16,720 --> 00:58:19,920
Speaker 18: Question, it sounds like yesterday Legal Collins for them and

1283
00:58:20,200 --> 00:58:22,280
Speaker 18: receiver that big that hasn't been yours to see us

1284
00:58:22,320 --> 00:58:22,640
Speaker 18: this year.

1285
00:58:22,720 --> 00:58:24,400
Speaker 11: The kind of challenge it us, What is it you

1286
00:58:24,720 --> 00:58:25,800
Speaker 11: do for their passing games?

1287
00:58:25,880 --> 00:58:27,040
Speaker 15: You guys kind of have to be aware of.

1288
00:58:27,240 --> 00:58:29,120
Speaker 14: Yeah, that's a big plus for their passing game. He's

1289
00:58:29,160 --> 00:58:31,600
Speaker 14: a big receiver, uh cabable of making the catches. So

1290
00:58:31,840 --> 00:58:34,200
Speaker 14: that's a plus for them. And so I think we're

1291
00:58:34,240 --> 00:58:36,200
Speaker 14: up for the challenge and looking forward to the matchup.

1292
00:58:36,840 --> 00:58:41,160
Speaker 15: WI Sure, how cool is it to be in or

1293

Speaker 21: Yeah, it's it's it's pretty cool.

1297
00:58:49,560 --> 00:58:51,280

1298
00:58:51,320 --> 00:58:53,560
Speaker 14: the playoffs and and get into that next level. But

1299
00:58:54,320 --> 00:58:56,080
Speaker 14: I think the focus has always been on the on

1300
00:58:56,160 --> 00:58:58,480
Speaker 14: the week at hand. So got to focus on next week,

1301
00:58:58,560 --> 00:59:00,200
Speaker 14: find a way to get a win, and every thing

1302
00:59:00,240 --> 00:59:01,600
Speaker 14: at the end of the year take care of itself.

1303
00:59:01,640 --> 00:59:03,040
Speaker 14: But we keep doing what we're supposed to do.

1304

1305
00:59:08,840 --> 00:59:10,800
Speaker 18: you know, two starting safeties. Whatever.

1306
00:59:11,280 --> 00:59:14,480
Speaker 11: Why has the because black players to talk about, you

1307
00:59:14,560 --> 00:59:15,480
Speaker 11: guys don't change.

1308
00:59:15,320 --> 00:59:17,640
Speaker 13: What you do regardless of who's on the field.

1309
00:59:17,960 --> 00:59:18,720
Speaker 7: Stick with the scheme.

1310
00:59:18,840 --> 00:59:24,640
Speaker 11: And why has that been so effect because obviously.

1311
00:59:24,720 --> 00:59:25,880
Speaker 15: It's different players.

00:59:53,320 --> 00:59:53,440
Speaker 22: Uh.

1325
00:59:53,600 --> 00:59:56,480

Speaker 11: of get you that finish line of lads laws and

1333
01:00:15,040 --> 01:00:18,920
Speaker 11: trying not to just play too earlier too soon it

1334
01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:21,760
Speaker 11: might be more damnage that could be prolonged.

1335
01:00:21,880 --> 01:00:22,080
Speaker 13: Yeah.

1336
01:00:22,240 --> 01:00:24,280
