1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,320
Speaker 1: Alright, so today's Wednesday. We've turned the page on from

2
00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:04,800
Speaker 1: last week's game. We're all folks right now in the Rams.

3
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:06,840
Speaker 1: You know, we sat down with our players today and

4
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:09,040
Speaker 1: explained obviously opponent we have to face. It's it's a

5
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:12,400
Speaker 1: great history of this organization. Obviously the only team in

6
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:16,079
Speaker 1: NFL history to win three World Championships in three different cities,

7
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 1: you know, obviously starting off as the Cleveland Rams originally

8
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 1: when they're named after the Fordham Rams. There's a lot

9
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 1: of history that goes on back through the time in St.

10
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:26,120
Speaker 1: Louis and obviously back home now in l A which

11
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 1: is really where everyone remembers them from. They got that

12
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 1: blue and yellow really stands out with the greats that

13
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 1: came to that program. The Eric Dickerson's, the Jackie Slater's,

14
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 1: another fine players that organization. You know, I think Less

15
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 1: has done a tremendous job building this team through the

16
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 1: draft and also through free agency and trades. You know,

17
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 1: he's obviously built this team with a lot of star

18
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:46,199
Speaker 1: power and explosive players who can change the game by

19
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,159
Speaker 1: themselves at any time. You know, Shawn does a tremendous

20
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:51,159
Speaker 1: job along with Kevin and Aaron Crome were forming this

21
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 1: offense and really you know, creating matchups. It all starts

22
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 1: with the run game with Shawn and Aaron. They do

23
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 1: a tremendous job staying committed to their plan and what

24
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: they do. They're very balanced team. They're very effective in

25
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 1: what they do and they find creative ways of creating

26
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,680
Speaker 1: the same looks all right that they can operate out

27
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:09,960
Speaker 1: of familiar and give you a couple of curveballs you

28
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 1: gotta react to. So in terms of emotions, the movements,

29
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 1: the shifts, Sean's always looking for an edge to create

30
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 1: a matchup. Does a tremendous job right there, you know,

31
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,559
Speaker 1: dealing with you know, Staley on the defensive side, obviously

32
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 1: he learned a lot from Vic Fangio. They do a

33
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 1: great job going out there and doing what they do.

34
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: They disguise defenses very well. They start with disruption up front.

35
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 1: They have good defensive back to do a great job

36
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:31,759
Speaker 1: in space of tackling eliminating explosive plays. You know, these

37
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: guys are really a team that make you click it

38
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 1: down the field and turn the sticks over all right,

39
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 1: drive by drive, So they don't give up a lot

40
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: of big plays and you obviously it all starts with

41
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 1: ninety nine Aaron Donald. This guy will really ruin your

42
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: birthday party in a hurry. You know, John bon Omego

43
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 1: and the Special Teams. I've known John for some time now.

44
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: He's always been very good and a very good personal

45
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: friend to me. Yea, I know about John. He is aggressive,

46
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: all right, is saying free hurt, you know, That's how

47
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: he approaches it right there. And his teams play aggressive

48
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,040
Speaker 1: that played downhill. They're a physical bunch. Their aggress of

49
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: the rush, your kicks, punts and field goals. They do

50
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: a very good job in the return game, obviously with

51
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 1: you know Cooper back there returning punts. They're putting empstas

52
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 1: on getting their best players involved in the game and

53
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 1: looking to make game changing plays every time. And to me,

54
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: when you talk about the Rams Special Teams, no matter

55
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:14,919
Speaker 1: who's there, it all starts at Johnny Hecker. This guy

56
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: is really a weapon, alright. This guy you know, throughout

57
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 1: the of the years in his league. Uh, you know,

58
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 1: this guy really keeps you on the defensive as a

59
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: punt return unit. He makes teams adjust their game plans.

60
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 1: He's always a threat with a pass. You know, as

61
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:28,919
Speaker 1: we explained our team. He's got a picture. This guy

62
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 1: is really a quarterback who can punt. He's not a

63
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 1: punter who throws the ball. So I've know Johnny for

64
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 1: some time, a lot of respect for him in the game.

65
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: You know, anyone really studies the NFL, you know, he's

66
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,920
Speaker 1: really changed the punting position in a lot of ways,

67
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 1: and he's really been a weapon for this team to

68
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: establish and maintain field position consistently. So that being said,

69
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:46,959
Speaker 1: I'll open up any questions right now that I can answer.

70
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: We have a great deal of respect for this organization.

71
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: It's obviously a very tough opponent, and uh, we're gonna

72
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 1: start today on the field getting ready for him full speed.

73
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 1: The Titans of the outbreak is affecting the NFL schedule

74
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: for the first time. Is it changing anything that your

75
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,359
Speaker 1: team is doing? How confident are you and how your

76
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 1: team in the league in general has been dealing with

77
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 1: this after this point. Yeah, We've got a lot of

78
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: confidence of protocols the league came out with. We've been

79
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:13,799
Speaker 1: very diligent from the beginning of falling these Our team

80
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:15,959
Speaker 1: and our coaches have been very committed to follow in

81
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: the rules, and it's not changing anything we're doing. It's

82
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 1: just reaffirming we have to stay diligent the process and

83
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: making sure we follow, you know, the steps in place.

84
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: Kind of an odd one for you, um, you know,

85
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: with no crowd and note fans and in most stands,

86
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: and then also broadcast Mike's picking up so much natural

87
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: audio from what's happening down on the field. Have you

88
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 1: guys taken any extra precaution in terms of the calls

89
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: of the line of scrimmage and the rams do a

90
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 1: lot at the line of scrimmage, and you guys studied

91
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: anything differently or on your side taking a little more precaution.

92
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: I would say there's just a heightened consciouness this year

93
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 1: in terms of what you're using verbage wise on the

94
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage and how you're looking at your opponent.

95
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: You know, in the past, every team in the league

96
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 1: is watched broadcast copies. You always try to pick up

97
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 1: on anything you can, any kind of call our communication.

98
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: I mean that's all thirty two teams doing the same thing,

99
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: trying to create an edge for their players. Obviously, this year,

100
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: with it being a little bit different in terms of

101
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: how much the mics are picking up, you have to

102
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: be very conscious of what you're saying and then also

103
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: what the opponents saying. So, you know, I don't think

104
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 1: anyone's doing anything differently. I just think it's a little bit,

105
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: you know, clear this year with the noise that what

106
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 1: you can hear from the quarterbacks Stu, Good morning, Joe.

107
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: Just one young head coach yourself. If there's anything you've

108
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,840
Speaker 1: picked up or learned from Sean McVeigh as far as

109
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: the way he coaches and it kind of runs the rams,

110
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: if that's influenced the way you've gone about um coaching

111
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 1: the Giants and just approaching your first year on the job.

112
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: Obviously you get a lot of great experience from working

113
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,479
Speaker 1: under coach Belichick. But is there anything you've maybe learned

114
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 1: or glean from Sean McVeigh. Well, obviously I've had some

115
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: conversation with Shawn early in this process and have a

116
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 1: ton of respect for Sewan and what he's done. Uh,

117
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,839
Speaker 1: you look, every organization is different, every process is different.

118
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: Terms of taking over a team, There's nothing I'm trying

119
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 1: to do in terms of modeling what anybody else has done.

120
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:07,600
Speaker 1: You know, what we have here is very unique and

121
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:09,119
Speaker 1: we have our own way. We have to go about

122
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 1: doing things, you know, to build our program. But I

123
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 1: have a tremendous amount of respect for Sean. Obviously at

124
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 1: a young age, UM he was very aggressive and how

125
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 1: he went about his business. He has a vision, he

126
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 1: knows what he wants to do, and he's been able

127
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 1: to see that on through harsh works. Hey Joe, um, Hey,

128
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,160
Speaker 1: I think, um, probably every coach who goes against the

129
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 1: Rams and talks about Aaron Donald says we need to

130
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 1: have a plan for him. Um what makes him so

131
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 1: unique that you need to plan against him? And um,

132
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 1: Nick Gates this early in his career at center, how

133
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: do you see that as any kind of a matchup

134
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 1: that Giants can win? Well, I'd say this, first off,

135
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 1: it's the thing they're doing differently this year with him

136
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 1: is really moving around and they're using all three downs

137
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 1: and that's a little bit different than how he's played

138
00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 1: in the past. They're gonna find matchups and create way

139
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: so there's no one player that we could center offensive line.

140
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: He's got a tough day ahead of him. Everyone's got

141
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 1: to be alert and we have to make sure we

142
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,599
Speaker 1: know where nine is on every snap. You know, the

143
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 1: think that makes this guy so unique is gonna sound

144
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: very generic, but the effort he plays with is just

145
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 1: truly relentless. I mean, this guy does things you watch

146
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 1: and you think, you know, wow, I mean he really will.

147
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: He'll show up and ruin your day. And uh, you know,

148
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 1: you watch the Buffalo game, you know, the fourth quarter,

149
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 1: especially as they are climbing back in the game and

150
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 1: playing competitive. I mean, this guy almost single handedly you know,

151
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:30,279
Speaker 1: end of the game from Buffalo, and the way he

152
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 1: got after the quarterback and the way he played. You know,

153
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 1: he's explosive on runs, he's explosive in the past game. Um,

154
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 1: he's got great instincts. You watch this guy on the

155
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,279
Speaker 1: goal line. You Buffalo try to cut him. He just

156
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 1: jumped over the center trying to cut him, fronted up

157
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 1: the runner, and then just completely made a stand by himself.

158
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:47,599
Speaker 1: These are players you don't see, you know, every guy

159
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 1: in the league being able to do. He's a unique guy.

160
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: You know, you look at him when he came out

161
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 1: of college with the knocks on him. Maybe he's not

162
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 1: long enough, maybe he's not truly big enough to play

163
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: on the inside. I think he's shown everybody who said

164
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: that completely wrong. And this guy is one of those

165
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 1: dominant players in the league. So you know, everybody's got

166
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: a plan for him. You know, this guy, it's nothing

167
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 1: unique for him. He knows going in, everybody's got something

168
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 1: in mind for him. But hey, look everyone's got a

169
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 1: play until they get punched in the mouth. You know.

170
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: Um to one more is Nick Gates three games into

171
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 1: this center, do you still look at it as an experiment?

172
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: And where do you think he is? You know, three

173
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: games in, it's it's absolutely non experiment, and I think

174
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 1: he's making improvement game by game. This guy has made

175
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: a lot of progress for us, you know, on a

176
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 1: daily basis, and his communication, his understanding the position, his

177
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: studying of opponents. It was a different move at first

178
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 1: from Nick going outside to the inside, so he's had

179
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 1: to learn that both in a technique standpoint and also

180
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: just a different way you look at it. You know,

181
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 1: when you're the tackle on the edge, you see everything

182
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 1: just truly inside out. You know, when you're the center inside,

183
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: you've got to see both sides peripheral and you have

184
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: to be tuned into more things where the linebackers located,

185
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 1: what's the secondary doing. You're more involved with identifying who

186
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 1: the mic linebacker is you're more involved in making all

187
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 1: the calls inside that affect everybody's blocks and everybody's combination.

188
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 1: So the mental aspect of playing center is very large, Okay,

189
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 1: And he's handled that very well force and he's making

190
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 1: improvement on a weekly basis. And that's all we can

191
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 1: ask you, Nick right now. Yeah, and keep telling another

192
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 1: one of their stars, Jalen Ramsey, what makes him one

193
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: of the best positions feel wise. And then separately from that,

194
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: he talks a lot of trash. Do you talk to

195
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 1: your guys about not getting caught up in that When

196
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 1: you have a guy, whether it came or somebody else

197
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,680
Speaker 1: who talks a lot of trash like that on the field, Uh,

198
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:36,079
Speaker 1: you know, we're we're looking to just go ahead and

199
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 1: focus on next play at hand and just go move

200
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 1: play to play. But I'd say this guy is definitely

201
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 1: a special player in the league. Look, he's long, he's

202
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 1: very athletic, he's got great makeup speed, he's very instinctive.

203
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 1: This guy's got that kind of savvy and awareness. He

204
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 1: can lull you to sleep a little bit as a

205
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 1: quarterback and then pounce on the ball and really get you.

206
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 1: Why you think he's not paying attention. You know, he

207
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: does a great job of force and turnovers and really

208
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 1: attacks the ball. On a play by play basis, you've

209
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 1: gotta be alert for this guy because he's coming after

210
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 1: the ball every play. You know, I'd say, Look, you

211
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 1: can say he's talking trash or you're gonna say, but

212
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:07,319
Speaker 1: this guy definitely backs up on the field. He's a

213
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 1: special player. Douggie, Hey, Joe's want to check. Did you

214
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 1: guys make a call on David Mayo? You know what, Uh,

215
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: it's not official yet right now he's with the trainers.

216
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 1: We still have a couple of days to get it.

217
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 1: I don't anticipate see in practice. So today Dan okay?

218
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: And then with the corner Harper from the Raiders, Uh,

219
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:26,679
Speaker 1: you know what do you like about him? And then

220
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:28,680
Speaker 1: how much of his struggles it been with that number

221
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 1: two corners while where you've really been kind of searching

222
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 1: for an answer there. Well, I think our guys are

223
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 1: working hard and we see a level of improvement on

224
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: a weekly basis. We have to make sure we keep

225
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 1: playing good football and take some bad plays off our plate.

226
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 1: But that's up to us as coaches. We had to

227
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: keep putting guys in the right position, and you know

228
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 1: they got execute on the field when they're asked to um.

229
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 1: In terms of the moves on a roster, Dan, I'll

230
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 1: talk very lengthy once the process is completed. As of

231
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 1: right now, it's still within the process of going. Okay,

232
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: thanks and Joe. You guys have had Davante in the

233
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: building for a week now. I'm scared to what you're

234
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: impressed as have been to him, like just behind the

235
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 1: scenes as a teammate in the locker room. I know

236
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 1: it's still only been a week, but like, what's been

237
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 1: your impression of him so far. I think he's a

238
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 1: ball guy said that last week, and that definitely holds true.

239
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: He really loves football, you know, coming from Liberty City

240
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 1: where he grew up. Those guys down there, those guys

241
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 1: love ball. I mean, they're tough dudes. It just centers

242
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:18,080
Speaker 1: them all the time in terms of the love of

243
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 1: the game, passion for the game. But I see a

244
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 1: guy in the locker room is a good teammate. To say,

245
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 1: a guy in the huddle is very serious. Uh, he's

246
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 1: got a very business approach to how he goes about it,

247
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 1: but he smiles and enjoys being out there on the field.

248
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 1: So seeing a lot of progress from him. Obviously, you know,

249
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: we had to get him caught up with our schemes

250
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 1: last week. He did a great job, I really working

251
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:37,079
Speaker 1: staying ahead. He's more familiar this week, making more progress.

252
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 1: So looking to get him involved in this game plan

253
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 1: as much as we can, and you know, give him

254
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,440
Speaker 1: a chance going forward. Just real quick. First of all,

255
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 1: Jabril is gonna practice today. He will not toime, Okay,

256
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 1: And then, um, you have a super Bowl ring from

257
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 1: beating this team. Does that Does that help at all?

258
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 1: That you know they having a lot of the same

259
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 1: weapons that that that you uh, you face two about

260
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,200
Speaker 1: a year and a half ago, two years ago. No,

261
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 1: I think every team is very unique. This RAMS team

262
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 1: is not the same team they were last year nor

263
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 1: two years ago. And uh and it's a different team

264
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 1: than I was a part of as well. So every

265
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 1: team is unique year by year and club by club.

266
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 1: Obviously there's some information I gathered, but I'll tell you

267
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,319
Speaker 1: right now, Sean is always evolving, He's always changing, he's

268
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 1: always improving and getting better. And you know what, he

269
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 1: may have game plan based on another club I was with.

270
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 1: We'll have nothing to do with what we do, you

271
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:25,679
Speaker 1: know going forward here, because he's looking to match up

272
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 1: our players on our roster and we've got to be

273
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 1: where because he's gonna find a way to do that.

274
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,199
Speaker 1: And then one more if I could, uh, you know,

275
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,680
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones obviously has led the team in rushing most

276
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 1: of these games. He's the team's leading rusher for the season.

277
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 1: How sustainable is that? And and you know, what are

278
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 1: your feelings about that? Do you like that identity or

279
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,319
Speaker 1: do you would you obviously you'd rather have a running

280
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: back I have more yards, but uh, you know, can

281
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 1: you can he continue at this pace? You know, we'll

282
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:54,319
Speaker 1: look and see when it comes up. It's part of

283
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 1: the game plan, but we'll take production from it when

284
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 1: we can. Sean McVeigh said the other day that Jared

285
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 1: Goff played his best game of this season against Buffalo.

286
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 1: Just curious from your perspective watching him the last few years,

287
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 1: what have you seen in terms of development from maybe

288
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 1: when you first saw him to where he is now.

289
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:11,319
Speaker 1: When I first saw him, you know, he was really

290
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 1: truly a rookie, was a different coaching staff, It was,

291
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 1: you know, a different step. He's obviously evolved a lot

292
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 1: in his career, since he's been with Shawn, he's made

293
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 1: a lot of huge strides. To think, as a player,

294
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 1: he's always been a threat because he's very talented, but

295
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,079
Speaker 1: you see a confident player out there. You know he's

296
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 1: completing I think you're seventy of his passes right now.

297
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 1: These guys are top of the league on third down,

298
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 1: They're one of the top rushing teams in the league,

299
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 1: they're very successful on early downs, and the high scoring

300
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 1: team in the league. So that all comes through the quarterback.

301
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 1: You know, when this guy does a great job back

302
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 1: there of finding the open receiver, delivering an accurate, catchable ball.

303
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 1: He finds his guys, he understands the game plan, he

304
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 1: communicates well with the unit. They do a great job

305
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 1: of using tempo, getting to the line, getting too the

306
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 1: perfect play, and obviously he's the one who's got to

307
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 1: communicate that and his great command on the field. So

308
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 1: this is definitely a guy they've invested a lot in

309
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 1: and you understand why they did. Last question here, Jordan, Joe,

310
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 1: you you've got a taste of what Davonte could kind

311
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 1: of do last week and throughout. You know, least we

312
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,680
Speaker 1: can practice in the game. Uh, where do you see

313
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 1: him fitting in moving forward? Well, I think like every

314
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 1: one of our players and our roster, everyone has a

315
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:14,959
Speaker 1: role going in the game. I see him fitting in

316
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 1: with this specific game plan in a couple of different ways. Um.

317
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:20,199
Speaker 1: I'm not going to go into specific of how we're

318
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:21,839
Speaker 1: going to use him, but I think he has a

319
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 1: skill set that allows him to contribute in the running

320
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 1: end the passing game, both as a protector and a receiver.

321
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 1: I think we have to do a good job of

322
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 1: bouncing out his roles and everybody's roles, make sure we

323
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 1: get the most out of them. You still want to

324
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 1: rotate all three of them now, Yeah, we plan on

325
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:36,680
Speaker 1: playing every back that's at the game. Jordan
