1 00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:09,080 Speaker 1: Teams give our D line a lot of respect. And 2 00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:13,200 Speaker 1: I say that to say this, you're seeing, um teams 3 00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:16,200 Speaker 1: play a little more up tempo or no huddle against 4 00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:19,120 Speaker 1: us here in the last couple of weeks. Um, you're 5 00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:21,720 Speaker 1: seeing more quick passing game. You know a little bit 6 00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:23,480 Speaker 1: of the r P O game. Those are all things 7 00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:26,439 Speaker 1: too sort of slow down your your past rush and 8 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:31,440 Speaker 1: then substitution packages. Um, you know, with different personnels if 9 00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:34,560 Speaker 1: if we match you know, an offensive personnel, just getting 10 00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:37,360 Speaker 1: the right guys in on the field, all those things 11 00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:40,280 Speaker 1: can be sort of minimized. When when teams and we 12 00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:42,760 Speaker 1: do the same thing on offense, right, when when we 13 00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:46,159 Speaker 1: know what defense wants to, uh, you know, sub their 14 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:48,479 Speaker 1: D line as much as as much as teams do. 15 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:51,440 Speaker 1: And and it can all it can all affect, right, 16 00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 1: it can all affect production. That can affect you know, 17 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:56,920 Speaker 1: how how a group plays. And I really think that's 18 00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:58,840 Speaker 1: been you know, that's been the case here in the 19 00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,440 Speaker 1: last couple of weeks. As a follow up, could you 20 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:05,160 Speaker 1: just talk from your perspective as to why this James 21 00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 1: Robinson trade was made and can you at least share 22 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 1: with us a little bit whether it was initiated on 23 00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 1: your part or whether it was the Jets calling you. Yeah. 24 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:15,760 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not going to get into all the 25 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 1: details with it, but um, you know, James is uh. 26 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,200 Speaker 1: I got a lot of respect for James and what 27 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:22,760 Speaker 1: he's done and what he's done for me and the 28 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 1: and the organization, and obviously wish him well. It's a 29 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,120 Speaker 1: great opportunity for him. You know. Obviously the Jets, as 30 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:32,200 Speaker 1: we know, lost a running back and and so it's honestly, 31 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,919 Speaker 1: it's the nature, it's the nature of our business. Teams 32 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,120 Speaker 1: begin to search and and we got to call on 33 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 1: him and and um, you know made made the decision 34 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,480 Speaker 1: to to move on. So you're not concerned about your 35 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,959 Speaker 1: running back depth at this point losing a pretty valuable 36 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:52,320 Speaker 1: insurance policy. No, no, And again I'm not one thing 37 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 1: that I know that you don't know is there's a 38 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 1: lot of information. So and I'm not I'm not going 39 00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 1: to divulge all the information. It's just it's for me 40 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 1: to know and for us to know and and all 41 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 1: the details on that. But um, I went through this 42 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 1: in sixteen. We traded Sam Bradford, our starting quarterback, to 43 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:14,400 Speaker 1: Minnesota um week one of the regular season, and you know, 44 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 1: and we went with a rookie quarterback in Carson. So 45 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 1: I've been through this before. This is just the way 46 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 1: our league is right now. Teams are constantly searching and 47 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 1: you know, we just picked up a defensive corner you know, 48 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 1: um that should be here later today from another roster. 49 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 1: So you know, there there's all things that play into everything, right, 50 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 1: and and teams are looking and teams teams have needs 51 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 1: and um again, like I said, it's a great opportunity 52 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 1: for James to go in there and be the guy. 53 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,519 Speaker 1: Um and and for us it's a it's a great 54 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 1: opportunity to uh, you know, not only Jamachael, but but 55 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:51,919 Speaker 1: now Snoop, you know, get him, get him going. Time. 56 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:56,920 Speaker 1: Did Jett called you guys Monday? It was? It was Monday. 57 00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 1: I don't know the timing of the call because Trent 58 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,520 Speaker 1: obviously gets those calls. But it was Monday after, you know, uh, 59 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 1: after we had met with the players and everything else 60 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 1: that day. Not at all, not at all, not at all. 61 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,240 Speaker 1: How much does this help you guys go from speed 62 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:21,640 Speaker 1: James Robson but a different different level of speed there 63 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 1: and that's what you guys want to be at. I mean, yeah, 64 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 1: you want to be a fast team at all the 65 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 1: skill positions. But I don't think it had to do 66 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 1: necessarily with that. But um, you know, more so obviously 67 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 1: the team that acquired you know, James had a need 68 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 1: quite frankly, and and and you know we have had 69 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 1: two really good running backs and and you know, um 70 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 1: it does give Jamichael and now Snoop an opportunity to 71 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 1: to get more opportunity, to get more touches, you know, 72 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 1: and more more opportunity. Um with the offense. The nature 73 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 1: of the offense just meaning more on the past is 74 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 1: half lay into it at all. It's just easier to 75 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 1: get one your best. He was your best listening. I mean, 76 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 1: that's that's when we can debate that all day. Honestly. 77 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 1: I mean I think I think t J has done 78 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 1: a great job. I think Jamaicael the times he's been 79 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 1: there has done a nice job. Um. So I think 80 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 1: that's you know, debatable how Travis's roll now in the offense. 81 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,280 Speaker 1: Obviously Eason get more snapped. So how much does he 82 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 1: you know, sort of can you do? I guess, I 83 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 1: mean you're not gonna see anything different from t J, 84 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 1: you know, and he's going to continue to do the 85 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 1: same things he's been doing. It's just that he'll have 86 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,359 Speaker 1: an opportunity to play a little bit longer, you know, 87 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 1: in a game. Um, I still want to, I still 88 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 1: want to, you know, keep him from taking all the load, 89 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 1: you know, keep him healthy for the entire season. That's 90 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 1: why Jamachael has probably and will increase his his load 91 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,159 Speaker 1: just little bit. And now you know, it's our job 92 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 1: as a staff to make sure that Snoop is ready 93 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,720 Speaker 1: to go to You talked about patients with players. Do 94 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:08,840 Speaker 1: you think head coaches get enough patients in this league? 95 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,160 Speaker 1: Reports this morning that and the thing of ur Hackett's 96 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 1: job could be on the line based on the outcome 97 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 1: of Sunday's game. Obviously I can't speak to that, but listen, 98 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 1: I understand our business having been a player for a 99 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 1: long time and now a head coach and a you know, 100 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 1: a coordinator position coach in this league for a long time. 101 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's about winning right now, you know, 102 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,280 Speaker 1: And and and quite frankly, it's you know, when you're 103 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 1: trying to build a program and try to try to 104 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 1: bring the pieces to your roster and and you know, 105 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 1: like we did in the off season through the draft, 106 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:44,480 Speaker 1: and and you know it's hard. It's hard because you're 107 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:46,920 Speaker 1: you're asked to win right now. And that's the that's 108 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 1: the pressure that we're on, you know, we face every 109 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:53,360 Speaker 1: single day. Is it fair? I don't know, but you know, 110 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 1: I just know that that's the that's the task, and 111 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 1: that's what we signed up for, you know, and we 112 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 1: don't shy away from that. We understand that. And and 113 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,360 Speaker 1: so from you know, my perspective is a one of 114 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,160 Speaker 1: the thirty two head coaches in this league. You know, 115 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:07,839 Speaker 1: it's our job to make sure that we can do 116 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 1: the best best we can and make sure our team 117 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,719 Speaker 1: is prepared. On Sunday, was a limited participant in practice 118 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 1: across upon I guess apparently they already flew over to 119 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,280 Speaker 1: London over Monday night. Um, so he was a limited 120 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,480 Speaker 1: partisant today. How do you prepare for the quarterback for 121 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:27,279 Speaker 1: Denver because obviously two very differ quarterbacks to be Yeah, 122 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,160 Speaker 1: I mean obviously there's a there's a ton of film 123 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 1: with with Russell and now there's a game with with 124 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,720 Speaker 1: the backup with Rippan, and um, you know, we just 125 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:36,800 Speaker 1: we just go we just go about it as business 126 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 1: as usual. We understand both you know, um, we understand 127 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 1: what Russell brings to that team. And he also has 128 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 1: the ability to run and use his legs and he's 129 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,920 Speaker 1: I've I've played against him or coached against him many 130 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:52,040 Speaker 1: times and and he can beat you doing that, and um, 131 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 1: you know, and so it just has to it has 132 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:58,479 Speaker 1: to be a you know kind of the every hand 133 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,119 Speaker 1: on deck so to speak to to exhaust the film, 134 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,480 Speaker 1: understand you know, kind of what the what our defense 135 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,240 Speaker 1: is getting into, and be uh be prepared for both 136 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,480 Speaker 1: knowing what Daniel Jones did last week, no Jalen Hurts 137 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 1: did a few weeks ago against this team. Concerns about 138 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 1: the defense defending is only it's something we've got to 139 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 1: work on, you know. UM, it's something that we've got 140 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 1: to um identify and maybe simplify, you know, the whole 141 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 1: the whole thing. And UM, I know that's what the 142 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 1: coaches and Mike is doing and and preparing you know 143 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,239 Speaker 1: for that. Um and then it's up to the players, 144 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 1: you know, to just stay disciplined with their techniques, stay 145 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 1: disciplined within the scheme and and uh try to um 146 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 1: you know, eliminate or at least you know, slow down 147 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 1: doesn't read So who told James that you return. Uh, Trent, okay, 148 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 1: So did you have any conversation Jane? It was great. 149 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 1: It was great. Um, you know, and and listen, I 150 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 1: have I have a ton of respect for j Aimes. 151 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 1: He's come he came off an injury a year ago 152 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,560 Speaker 1: and he put himself in a position to to help 153 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 1: our football team and now he gets a chance to 154 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 1: do that with the Jets and wishing them well. What 155 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 1: is it that makes this Broccos defense, especially against the 156 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 1: pass as dangerous as they just watch just put the 157 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 1: film on and watch their front. I mean these guys, man, 158 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 1: they come off the ball. I mean, it's it's a 159 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 1: dangerous group. You know, they're athletic, they can run. Chubb's 160 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 1: a great pass rusher. Obviously. I know they're down a 161 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 1: couple of guys on the other side, but their interior 162 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 1: is going to be probably uh some of the three 163 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,280 Speaker 1: or four best guys we've seen all seasons so far. 164 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,320 Speaker 1: So um, that's what man. Then they're experienced in the 165 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 1: back end this team. You understand, this team is built 166 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:42,080 Speaker 1: like a year ago or so, you know, and the 167 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,960 Speaker 1: guys that were brought in, you know, have played together 168 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 1: and it's an experienced team and and um, you know 169 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,640 Speaker 1: the coordinator might be new, but but the guys have 170 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,079 Speaker 1: played together and in the scheme and the structure is 171 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:57,960 Speaker 1: still pretty much intact. They arguably a top five cornerback 172 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,640 Speaker 1: and Pat's hurtain when you watch the multips top even better. 173 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 1: What is uh what does he make difficult as a 174 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 1: game planner? I mean he listen, he's number one, he's 175 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,520 Speaker 1: a he's a great person, great player. Um, you can 176 00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,680 Speaker 1: tell that he studies his opponent. He's long, he's athletic 177 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:18,320 Speaker 1: and run and he's physical. And when you have those 178 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 1: type of traits, Um, you know, I think you can 179 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:23,559 Speaker 1: throw in you know, like Tyson Campbell was in that 180 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 1: in that mix a year ago, right with those guys, 181 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 1: and you know this guy is, Um, he's young, but 182 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,199 Speaker 1: he's he's that type of player. And um, he's he's 183 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,960 Speaker 1: gaining a lot of respect obviously around the league. When 184 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,080 Speaker 1: you watch tape, you know, teams teams try to throw 185 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 1: that that way, um, with not much success. So he's 186 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 1: doing he's doing a great job. Yeah. Is international travel 187 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 1: which just part of the deal now, I mean, is 188 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,800 Speaker 1: it is It's still a big challenge coaches when you 189 00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:57,719 Speaker 1: first go over there. You know, it seems like a 190 00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,240 Speaker 1: big lift. But now everybody's been over there pretty hunch. 191 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 1: Most teams are doing international game every couple of years now, 192 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,560 Speaker 1: is it's still the big lift. I'm not talking about Tuesdays. 193 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:11,719 Speaker 1: I'm talking from coaching ready. Um, it's a it's a 194 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,560 Speaker 1: bit of a challenge, but I think the biggest thing 195 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:18,439 Speaker 1: for us, you know, we we plan and prepare for 196 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:23,560 Speaker 1: these few days we're here in town right before we go, Um, Friday. 197 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 1: The challenging thing Friday is just the fatigue factor, you know, 198 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:29,800 Speaker 1: and you still gotta meet and you still gotta practice 199 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 1: and keep the guys, keep the guys going. I mean, 200 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,199 Speaker 1: that's a challenge there. But you know, you get to 201 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,720 Speaker 1: Saturday and obviously Sunday you feel you feel pretty good 202 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:39,719 Speaker 1: and you're ready to go. You know, so we do 203 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 1: we do the bulk of our lifting that way. You know, 204 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,079 Speaker 1: these next two days we think you guys were quested 205 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 1: to have a game the next week, you didn't want 206 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 1: your by the proncos are doing with the bye I mean, 207 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 1: it's it, listen, it's the time change. Is not that 208 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:56,319 Speaker 1: not that bad? Plus you got Monday and Tuesday for 209 00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 1: the players to to you know, rest and get back here. 210 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 1: And you know, it's it's not much different than going 211 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 1: to the West Coast and trying to come back. You 212 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 1: get back at three in the morning if you go 213 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:09,320 Speaker 1: to the West Coast. So, um, you can, you can, 214 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:12,079 Speaker 1: you can do it, you know. Um, So we requested that, 215 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,839 Speaker 1: and and um, you know, we'll play. We'll play next week. 216 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:23,679 Speaker 1: Uh just a little just a little not not too 217 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:32,960 Speaker 1: too well the first one A little bit a little bit. Yeah, yeah, 218 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 1: just ask my wife just after you have no trouble 219 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 1: you're going to sleep that the Broncos bringing an accomplished 220 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:47,600 Speaker 1: quarterback like Russell Wilson and their offense, it just doesn't 221 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 1: seem to have gotten ignited at all. Yeah. Again, it's 222 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,240 Speaker 1: it's hard to it's hard to put a finger on it, 223 00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:55,839 Speaker 1: you know because obviously you're not there and you're not 224 00:11:55,920 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 1: coaching the guys. But um, I just know it. Offensively, 225 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,880 Speaker 1: things take time. There's there's timing with everything. There's there's 226 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 1: new schemes, there's new players. I mean, it's just patients, right, 227 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:15,079 Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's part of the process, you know. 228 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,760 Speaker 1: And and um, you kind of see it with us 229 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 1: a little bit, you know, there's new faces, there's new schemes, 230 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 1: there's new coaches, there's all these different things, and you 231 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 1: see glimpses of it from time to time. But it's 232 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,559 Speaker 1: the it's the consistency and continuity that you that you're 233 00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 1: trying to strive for. Um and and even even for 234 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,560 Speaker 1: us and we we've we've been we've been going through 235 00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 1: that a little bit offensively, even though I feel like 236 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,360 Speaker 1: we're heading in the right direction, um with the whole thing. Um, 237 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,319 Speaker 1: it just takes time. Not that long ago that you 238 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:46,199 Speaker 1: felt like the team was right on schedule or it 239 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,719 Speaker 1: kind of needed to be. Where do you feel like 240 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 1: the guys are at this point right where we need 241 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:53,520 Speaker 1: to be? No, I mean, I mean, I'd listen. I 242 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:55,199 Speaker 1: wish we had a few more of these wins. You 243 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 1: know that they were the losses. There were wins, But 244 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:03,079 Speaker 1: we are are two and five, and and I do 245 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,199 Speaker 1: believe this that the team is in a really good 246 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 1: place mentally. They you know, this is this is this 247 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,079 Speaker 1: is a good group to coach. You know, They're they're 248 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:14,200 Speaker 1: still hungry, you know, and and still working working hard, 249 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,040 Speaker 1: you know, and and doing the right things to try 250 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 1: to get this thing flipped around. He didn't win the 251 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:25,079 Speaker 1: game the last two weeks. To browse at it is 252 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 1: he showing you always easy now he is. I mean 253 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:32,880 Speaker 1: the next step is obviously we need to as a 254 00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,560 Speaker 1: team finish and win those games, you know, not only 255 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 1: for him but for the team. But yeah, he's he's 256 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,439 Speaker 1: he's showing us now that that he can, you know, 257 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,600 Speaker 1: put the team kind of on his back a little 258 00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:46,440 Speaker 1: bit and and lead him down. You know, it's two 259 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,920 Speaker 1: weeks in a row to touchdown drives to this past 260 00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 1: week of potential touchdown drive to to win, but the 261 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 1: week before, you know, took the lead in the fourth 262 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,240 Speaker 1: and you know, that's that's what you gotta have. That's 263 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:00,880 Speaker 1: that's what these games are so much parody. I think 264 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,120 Speaker 1: in the NFL, these these games come down to the 265 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 1: fourth quarter, you know, quite honestly, and um it's sometimes 266 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:09,320 Speaker 1: whoever has the ball last. But he's he's definitely heading 267 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 1: in the right direction for us that way. Doing any 268 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 1: extra ball protection drills this week, maybe, I mean it's 269 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 1: a it's a point of emphasis every day. Um. You know, again, 270 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 1: this is one of those things where um, I don't 271 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:29,760 Speaker 1: go over the top crazy with a lot of that stuff. 272 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:32,120 Speaker 1: I think it has to happen naturally, because now you 273 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,960 Speaker 1: start putting it in his head, you know, it starts 274 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 1: being a little more tense and tighten, and he's not 275 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 1: the runner that we want him to be. Um, he 276 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 1: understands he has to, you know, carry the ball better. 277 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:44,480 Speaker 1: It's gotta be a little tighter to his chest, you know, 278 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,440 Speaker 1: rist above the elbow, all those things. And um, we 279 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:50,720 Speaker 1: work on it every week, every day, Bernie, Bernie puts 280 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 1: him through you know, some drills. We do it all 281 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 1: you guys, if you're out there on Thursdays, you see 282 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:57,200 Speaker 1: the ball security circuit drill we do on Thursdays, and 283 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,440 Speaker 1: and um, we just gotta keep keep going. How would 284 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 1: you evaluate the pass rush as of now? Two sacks 285 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 1: in the last three games, and what can you do? 286 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 1: You start? Yeah, I mean, you know, obviously we've talked 287 00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,200 Speaker 1: about a little bit earlier, but I mean it needs 288 00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 1: to be better. We know that. Guys know that. Um, 289 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,480 Speaker 1: you know, let them let them you know, maybe maybe 290 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 1: come off the ball a little bit faster, roll off 291 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 1: the ball, you know, more straight rushes. Whatever it is 292 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,240 Speaker 1: we could do to push the pocket. I know no 293 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 1: teams are scheming with the no huddle and the tempo 294 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:30,840 Speaker 1: and the quick passing game, which which can frustrate defensive guys. 295 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 1: But you know, I just think it's just a matter 296 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:36,320 Speaker 1: of us just sticking to our game plan. Um. Whatever 297 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,880 Speaker 1: the game plan, you know, rush packages that week, and 298 00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,440 Speaker 1: if we need to make you know, changes in game, 299 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,400 Speaker 1: we make changes in game. But you know, somehow I 300 00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:49,880 Speaker 1: let these guys you know, free up and rush. Right here, 301 00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:53,800 Speaker 1: you talked about having an increased role. You obviously haven't 302 00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,040 Speaker 1: played any in the regular season so far, But what 303 00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,680 Speaker 1: have you seen from him in practice or to give 304 00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:01,240 Speaker 1: you that confidence. I mean, he's done a nice job 305 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 1: with the Look team, quite honestly, him and Sarge have 306 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,720 Speaker 1: done a great job there, you know. And you can 307 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:10,840 Speaker 1: just see his development, you know, um, even even when 308 00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,560 Speaker 1: he's on the Look team, but our defense is blitzing. 309 00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:16,920 Speaker 1: You see the protection, you see the pickup, he's going 310 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,840 Speaker 1: in the right direction and and and that's the growth 311 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 1: that that we want to see, you know, and him 312 00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 1: and he's working hard and he's helping out on you know, 313 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,440 Speaker 1: gott gott a role on special teams you know from 314 00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 1: time to time and to back up, and you know, 315 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:32,360 Speaker 1: he just keeps just keeps improving and and um, you know, 316 00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 1: so we just got to make sure that he's maybe 317 00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:38,760 Speaker 1: a limited, you know, package of plays.
