WEBVTT - Coordinators: Ravens Practice 11/9 Press Conferences 0:00:02.880 --> 0:00:05.560 Welcome into the Ravens Press Pass Podcast. It is Thursday, 0:00:05.720 --> 0:00:08.080 November ninth, and the Ravens are gearing up for a 0:00:08.119 --> 0:00:10.440 game coming up on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns at 0:00:10.560 --> 0:00:12.880 M and T. Banks Stadium. This is a big time 0:00:13.720 --> 0:00:16.120 AFC North showdown, and the Ravens are in the midst 0:00:16.120 --> 0:00:19.080 of three home games in the course of a twelve 0:00:19.160 --> 0:00:22.000 day span. And this is big time considering the Ravens 0:00:22.000 --> 0:00:23.680 are in first place in the division right now, but 0:00:23.760 --> 0:00:25.600 the Browns and the Bengals and the Steelers are right 0:00:25.640 --> 0:00:28.400 behind them. So these two games against the Browns and 0:00:28.480 --> 0:00:30.720 then the Bengals are going to be critical and determining 0:00:31.200 --> 0:00:33.680 where the season goes from here. As we get ready 0:00:33.720 --> 0:00:34.879 for that game, we had a chance to talk with 0:00:34.880 --> 0:00:38.160 the coordinators today and first up is offensive coordinator Todd Munkin. 0:00:38.840 --> 0:00:40.919 Thanks for him. 0:00:42.400 --> 0:00:47.360 It's pretty easy question, isn't it. You know, happy for him. 0:00:48.520 --> 0:00:51.559 Had a pretty good preseason, then got hurt and uh, 0:00:51.760 --> 0:00:53.720 then we started to get him a little bit involved 0:00:53.720 --> 0:00:56.000 and got hurt again, and so it was fun to 0:00:56.000 --> 0:00:58.480 see the guys. We're excited for him. He's a great kid, 0:00:58.600 --> 0:01:00.920 works hard and you can see that by our guys 0:01:00.920 --> 0:01:02.480 how excited they were for him. 0:01:03.000 --> 0:01:05.680 We knew about his speed, but his ability to be 0:01:05.880 --> 0:01:07.640 physical and get guys off. 0:01:07.560 --> 0:01:10.039 The was any of that at all surprising in the 0:01:10.080 --> 0:01:11.199 game or did. 0:01:11.080 --> 0:01:11.800 You notice that them? 0:01:12.000 --> 0:01:12.080 No? 0:01:12.480 --> 0:01:14.200 You know what happened in the preseason a lot is 0:01:15.240 --> 0:01:18.880 there were some plays that he showed some lateral quickness 0:01:18.880 --> 0:01:20.319 and get to the edge, but you really didn't see 0:01:20.360 --> 0:01:22.119 him play behind his pads like he did in the game. 0:01:22.440 --> 0:01:24.280 Thought he did a great job playing behind his pads, 0:01:24.480 --> 0:01:27.120 showed good vision. There were runs that should have been 0:01:27.160 --> 0:01:28.759 four or five he got seven or eight, and runs 0:01:29.040 --> 0:01:31.000 him seven and eight he got nine or ten besides 0:01:31.040 --> 0:01:33.240 the one that showed his speed. But thought he did 0:01:33.240 --> 0:01:34.680 a great job playing minus pads. 0:01:34.840 --> 0:01:36.600 So I think what everybody wants to know is what's 0:01:36.600 --> 0:01:38.160 that mean for him going forward? 0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:40.720 In the he had a lot of good running. 0:01:41.520 --> 0:01:45.080 Still early in the week, you know, I mean, we'll 0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:52.640 see games go different ways. But obviously, how do you 0:01:52.640 --> 0:01:53.080 want to say it? 0:01:53.080 --> 0:01:53.160 Like? 0:01:54.640 --> 0:01:58.480 I think, like with any player, when you get your opportunity, 0:01:58.600 --> 0:02:01.640 you take advantage of it, and that leads to more opportunities. 0:02:01.680 --> 0:02:03.960 I think that's the simplest way to put in anything 0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:06.640 in life. If you're given an opportunity and you're successful 0:02:06.680 --> 0:02:09.320 at it, You're going to get more opportunities and you 0:02:09.639 --> 0:02:12.840 deserve it. You earned that, he's earned that. What's going 0:02:12.880 --> 0:02:14.280 so well in the run game right now? 0:02:14.280 --> 0:02:15.560 You're the number one in the league. 0:02:16.360 --> 0:02:19.360 Obviously you brought your schemes in kind of blended with 0:02:19.360 --> 0:02:21.200 what the Rams are doing well here before? 0:02:21.480 --> 0:02:23.040 What do you feel like is going so well to 0:02:23.080 --> 0:02:24.040 sled Jets at dispoint? 0:02:24.280 --> 0:02:26.080 Well, first off, our coaches do a great job of 0:02:26.120 --> 0:02:29.520 scheming the run each week, trying to tie it into 0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:31.120 what we want to do in all areas of the 0:02:31.160 --> 0:02:34.440 game plan. Obviously Keaton having a forty and sixty yard 0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:36.840 run helps that. I mean, you're not counting on that. 0:02:36.840 --> 0:02:42.080 That's difficult to account for in any given week. You know, 0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:45.000 Lamar adds to that. You know you're in an interesting 0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:47.840 position to where you have a quarterback that each week 0:02:47.960 --> 0:02:51.760 may account for fifty to sixty yards, some planned runs, 0:02:51.800 --> 0:02:54.320 some scrambles that lead to that. So you're going to 0:02:54.400 --> 0:02:57.520 get some of that. But as I always say, you 0:02:57.520 --> 0:02:59.320 can't control the game if you can't run the football. 0:02:59.400 --> 0:03:02.800 So we've got good backs, we're physical upfront. I think 0:03:02.840 --> 0:03:05.400 we're pretty versatile and the type of run game that 0:03:05.440 --> 0:03:08.079 we have, and Lamar is certainly a big part of that. 0:03:08.400 --> 0:03:09.760 And the backs have been a big part of that 0:03:09.800 --> 0:03:11.520 along with the old line, and the coaches have done 0:03:11.560 --> 0:03:14.079 a great job. I know I mentioned that came full circle, 0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:16.639 but they've done a great job of scheming that up. 0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:20.120 Mosatility of having maybe a bigger back like Gus and 0:03:20.400 --> 0:03:21.400 be physical. 0:03:21.040 --> 0:03:22.679 And them kind of a speed guy. 0:03:22.760 --> 0:03:24.160 Like how important can that be? 0:03:24.440 --> 0:03:28.519 Sure? I think when you have, for instance, when you 0:03:28.600 --> 0:03:30.639 have three running backs that are up on game day, 0:03:31.880 --> 0:03:34.880 it is nice to have players with different skill sets 0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:38.320 that you can utilize. Sure, would you like three backs 0:03:38.320 --> 0:03:41.600 that are short yardage back, receiving back. You know what 0:03:41.600 --> 0:03:44.200 I'm saying, Like that didn't do at all? Sure, but 0:03:44.240 --> 0:03:47.840 at least you know, from Gus's standpoint obviously from a 0:03:47.840 --> 0:03:51.640 power standpoint, and he showed speed, able to break tackles, 0:03:51.680 --> 0:03:53.320 and then having some other guys can do some other 0:03:53.360 --> 0:03:55.560 things I think is helpful in terms of when you're 0:03:55.600 --> 0:03:59.920 game planning certain matchups, certain parts of the field, certain situations. 0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:02.400 As we all know, Mark. 0:04:02.240 --> 0:04:05.320 Andrews continue in your offense to do basically what he 0:04:05.360 --> 0:04:07.600 did before in terms of production. How is he had 0:04:07.640 --> 0:04:10.160 to evolve though and change maybe what you wanted him 0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:16.680 to do, where as he just said. 0:04:13.080 --> 0:04:16.120 Oh, I don't think he's changed much. I don't think 0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:18.640 that's just sometimes he has a way of the ball 0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:21.799 finding him, just has I think you guys asked before, 0:04:21.880 --> 0:04:25.120 you know, because it's what's the deal with Odell? You know? 0:04:25.160 --> 0:04:27.839 And I said before, and I'm not bringing Odell into this, 0:04:27.880 --> 0:04:31.640 I'm just saying that the history that they have together 0:04:31.839 --> 0:04:36.520 leads to that. To me, in the passing game, the 0:04:36.560 --> 0:04:40.920 ball finds players that the quarterback has trusted. I mean 0:04:40.960 --> 0:04:43.400 when Aaron Aaron Rodgers went to the Jets, there were 0:04:43.440 --> 0:04:45.360 certain guys he wanted with, and there's certain guys that 0:04:45.760 --> 0:04:47.839 quarterbacks when they get to a certain part in their career, 0:04:47.880 --> 0:04:51.080 they have trust and skill guys around him. And you 0:04:51.120 --> 0:04:53.200 can see that that's been built over time. 0:04:55.360 --> 0:04:57.600 Lamar saw a lot of man coverage the last time 0:04:57.640 --> 0:05:01.360 you guys played, or I guess what, having that kind 0:05:01.360 --> 0:05:03.799 of base line of expectations going. 0:05:03.680 --> 0:05:04.640 To that point. 0:05:05.920 --> 0:05:08.640 Oh, I mean some of that was we saw a 0:05:08.680 --> 0:05:10.800 decent amount of man and then it got even more 0:05:10.839 --> 0:05:12.960 of that as we were up in the game. So 0:05:13.080 --> 0:05:17.400 and we've seen a decent amount of man. So I 0:05:17.440 --> 0:05:19.880 don't know what it really does to him other than 0:05:19.920 --> 0:05:22.839 it from us from a game planning standpoint, like any 0:05:23.160 --> 0:05:27.040 any game we go into, we have to have, you know, 0:05:28.320 --> 0:05:30.919 a plan where Lamar feels comfortable where to go with 0:05:30.960 --> 0:05:34.960 the football, no matter whether they're playing man zone types 0:05:35.000 --> 0:05:38.640 of zone, types of man that were are good versus 0:05:38.720 --> 0:05:40.640 all And I think that's that's the part of it 0:05:40.720 --> 0:05:43.680 is having enough skill guys that make it difficult to 0:05:43.760 --> 0:05:46.440 play man. The more guys you can have that can win, 0:05:47.120 --> 0:05:49.360 the better job you do of uncovering those guys, the 0:05:49.400 --> 0:05:51.920 more fun it is. The fewer guys you have of that, 0:05:52.200 --> 0:05:54.440 and the worst job you do have uncover them. Then 0:05:54.480 --> 0:05:56.280 you get covered and you're holding out of the ball 0:05:56.320 --> 0:05:59.280 and you hope he runs around makes play. And that's 0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:03.720 where we're trying to avoid. Obviously, obviously quarterback back in 0:06:03.760 --> 0:06:08.320 the day, there we go. Did you look back to 0:06:08.400 --> 0:06:10.800 Knox College Division sixteen football? Did you go all the 0:06:10.839 --> 0:06:17.200 way back to that? I appreciate that, Like the. 0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:19.400 Home are. 0:06:20.839 --> 0:06:22.080 Just cricking that bad boy up? 0:06:23.600 --> 0:06:27.440 What is what do you make of the evolution of. 0:06:29.240 --> 0:06:29.320 It? 0:06:29.400 --> 0:06:32.680 Is so cool? You know that the game has evolved 0:06:32.760 --> 0:06:39.240 from what would have been considered years ago quarterbacks. Well, 0:06:39.279 --> 0:06:42.320 the offenses have changed, right, so there was pocket passers. 0:06:43.839 --> 0:06:46.680 You were either running quarterback or you were a throwing quarterback. Right, 0:06:46.720 --> 0:06:49.560 you were one or the other. Uh More, I wouldn't 0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:51.760 say statue is probably a strong word, but more of 0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:55.479 a pocket passer. Where now you've gotten to the point 0:06:55.480 --> 0:06:58.880 where you've got really athletic guys with arm, talent and 0:06:59.040 --> 0:07:04.120 size and really understand the passing game, and the game 0:07:04.160 --> 0:07:07.400 has changed forever in a good way. It's to me 0:07:07.440 --> 0:07:11.240 it's more fun to watch. I mean, it's hard to 0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:18.240 consistently hang in the pocket and distribute the ball unless 0:07:18.280 --> 0:07:20.960 you're really elite on the outside. I mean, you need 0:07:21.000 --> 0:07:24.360 the ability to extend plays and allow guys to uncover. 0:07:25.000 --> 0:07:27.880 That's really the number one pass play we've had every 0:07:27.960 --> 0:07:30.520 year that I've been in coaching. When you have quarterbacks 0:07:30.520 --> 0:07:34.200 like Lamar is scramble. There's not one other pass play 0:07:34.200 --> 0:07:36.880 that we're going to call, not curl flatt, not four vertical, 0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:39.320 is gonna be scramble. So we've got to continue to 0:07:39.360 --> 0:07:42.120 be elite at our scramble rules. Because when you have 0:07:42.160 --> 0:07:45.160 athletic quarterbacks, when you see them making plays off schedule 0:07:45.240 --> 0:07:48.080 all the guys you mentioned, the guys that are elite, 0:07:48.640 --> 0:07:51.400 you talk about the Aaron Rodgers, Patrick Mahomes Lamar, Like, 0:07:51.600 --> 0:07:54.520 those off scheduled plays are hard to defend. There are 0:07:54.520 --> 0:07:56.760 two play quarterbacks, and I might have gone off in 0:07:56.800 --> 0:07:59.320 a different direction not even ask answered your question about 0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:02.560 Knox College. And you know, back in the day. 0:08:02.480 --> 0:08:06.320 You maybe we're discouraged from even attempting just with his 0:08:06.520 --> 0:08:08.360 kind of elasticity. 0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:09.560 And being able to throw what's that again. 0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:11.800 Like you see attempting throws that you know, maybe you 0:08:11.920 --> 0:08:14.880 were discouraged from attempting just with the kind of elasticity 0:08:14.920 --> 0:08:20.760 that he has. 0:08:18.040 --> 0:08:22.040 His arm angles that it's impressive, isn't it. That's pretty cool. 0:08:23.840 --> 0:08:25.600 You're not going to see those old YouTube videos and 0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:28.240 see old you know those arm angles with me. I 0:08:28.240 --> 0:08:32.040 didn't even know those existed. That's awesome. I mean, it's 0:08:33.320 --> 0:08:36.600 he's got a unique ability to you know, still be 0:08:36.679 --> 0:08:40.280 accurate with multiple arm angles, which you're seeing with a 0:08:40.280 --> 0:08:43.120 lot of these quarterbacks. You're seeing the ability with arm angles. 0:08:43.840 --> 0:08:46.360 Some of it comes from guys that, in my opinion, 0:08:46.440 --> 0:08:49.080 played baseball like Mahmes. Like if you're a middle infield 0:08:49.160 --> 0:08:51.000 or you're used to turning a double play in your 0:08:51.120 --> 0:08:55.000 arm angles still be inaccurate. That's my opinion, maybe not 0:08:55.040 --> 0:08:57.400 everybody's opinion, but I do think that he has a 0:08:57.480 --> 0:08:59.800 unique ability with a lot the athletic corpus. And the 0:08:59.840 --> 0:09:04.400 other thing is twenty years ago, fifteen years ago, you 0:09:04.440 --> 0:09:07.240 didn't have nearly as many quarterback coaches and I'm not 0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:10.040 talking about in the building. I'm talking about outside to 0:09:10.200 --> 0:09:13.640 train young kids at an earlier age, and they're because 0:09:13.679 --> 0:09:17.080 of their athleticism, they're working a lot more off scheduled throws. 0:09:17.440 --> 0:09:20.000 You just watch your showing YouTube and they're all over 0:09:20.040 --> 0:09:22.559 the place moving and arm angles and you know, off 0:09:22.559 --> 0:09:25.120 platform because you're just seeing more of it, and they're 0:09:25.160 --> 0:09:28.600 just more ready and available to play. Because it doesn't 0:09:28.640 --> 0:09:30.640 have to be perfect. It used to be everything was 0:09:30.960 --> 0:09:33.840 training being in the pocket. Now that's just evolved in 0:09:33.880 --> 0:09:35.440 a lot of ways, and you just see it with 0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:38.760 players across the country from college to the NFL. 0:09:39.720 --> 0:09:42.280 You said before how game day is stressful for yourself? 0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:43.960 What's two and five days time? 0:09:44.120 --> 0:09:44.200 Like? 0:09:44.600 --> 0:09:47.160 What is what? What is two games five days timeline 0:09:48.040 --> 0:09:51.920 for next week? It's actually better, there's less time in 0:09:51.960 --> 0:09:55.600 between host we played every day I mean, right like 0:09:55.640 --> 0:09:57.760 baseball is like you go for four to get to 0:09:57.800 --> 0:09:59.240 go play the next day and you get to get 0:09:59.480 --> 0:10:01.800 it out of your syst right now. The good news 0:10:01.880 --> 0:10:03.480 is when you play well, it's actually nice. You have 0:10:03.520 --> 0:10:06.240 a week right, like, okay, feel pretty good. Actually there's 0:10:06.240 --> 0:10:09.400 not as much stress play like just the way it is, 0:10:09.760 --> 0:10:12.120 So do I prefer to play the next day? Of course? 0:10:12.200 --> 0:10:14.120 It's the funds in playing, you know, it's getting out 0:10:14.120 --> 0:10:17.000 there and going and seeing what you do. So to me, 0:10:19.800 --> 0:10:21.560 it is what it is. Luckily we played them before 0:10:21.600 --> 0:10:25.080 they played us before. You know, it's you know, get 0:10:25.120 --> 0:10:27.000 ready to go and first of all, take care of 0:10:27.000 --> 0:10:29.840 the first one that's the most important. Is what we 0:10:29.920 --> 0:10:32.240 do this weekend, how we prepare for this team, and 0:10:32.280 --> 0:10:35.120 then take care of the Bengals when that comes after 0:10:35.120 --> 0:10:35.880 we play Sunday. 0:10:36.520 --> 0:10:40.320 Challenges in prepared game planning for Miles Garrett just not 0:10:40.360 --> 0:10:42.040 just that he's a great player, but he's such an 0:10:42.040 --> 0:10:44.560 athletic freak that he can do so many different things 0:10:44.559 --> 0:10:45.600 lined up different places. 0:10:45.679 --> 0:10:50.000 I mean, it's that's awful. It's absolutely stinks, you know, 0:10:52.760 --> 0:10:57.960 you know, he's just he's got such natural ability and 0:10:58.000 --> 0:11:03.880 he's work awfully hard to you know, really drilled down. 0:11:04.280 --> 0:11:07.000 You know, his pass rush moves and he's relentless, and 0:11:07.960 --> 0:11:10.360 you know you have to count wherever he's at, you know, 0:11:10.600 --> 0:11:13.680 which is any elite player could be a receiver. You know, 0:11:13.800 --> 0:11:18.520 quarterbacks that can move, pass rushers that make it difficult, 0:11:18.679 --> 0:11:21.880 you know, makes it makes it difficult in terms of 0:11:22.920 --> 0:11:25.360 everything that you do because he can wreck the game. 0:11:26.559 --> 0:11:27.440 He can wreck the gaming. 0:11:28.000 --> 0:11:28.120 Uh. 0:11:29.200 --> 0:11:30.959 He made a hell on Indy. You know, there was 0:11:31.000 --> 0:11:33.559 a couple of plays that really changed that game. So again, 0:11:34.000 --> 0:11:36.200 and he's a tremendous young man. He's a hard worker, 0:11:36.200 --> 0:11:40.560 a great kid. But it stinks. I mean, you'd prefer 0:11:40.600 --> 0:11:40.959 he's out. 0:11:43.800 --> 0:11:46.040 That was offensive coordinator Tom Munkin. We also talked with 0:11:46.200 --> 0:11:50.480 defensive coordinator Mike McDonald. Now, Mike's defense is one of 0:11:50.520 --> 0:11:53.360 the best in the league. They're certainly eager to show 0:11:53.400 --> 0:11:55.840 that in Sunday's game against the Browns team that also 0:11:55.920 --> 0:11:58.960 has one of the league's best defenses. And Mike talked 0:11:58.960 --> 0:12:01.400 about this game his expectations for his unit. 0:12:02.600 --> 0:12:05.080 How different your prep from I mean, we prepared for 0:12:05.120 --> 0:12:06.839 Deshaun I guess the last time, and then he ended 0:12:06.920 --> 0:12:09.400 up not playing, ended up with DTR Now that you 0:12:09.440 --> 0:12:12.480 know he's going to be in there, just what you 0:12:12.520 --> 0:12:14.400 saw in the week four, does it help it all 0:12:14.440 --> 0:12:16.840 to even prepare for them this week give him what 0:12:17.320 --> 0:12:18.120 they didn't have him. 0:12:20.120 --> 0:12:23.679 I really haven't thought about it through that, Lens. I mean, 0:12:24.080 --> 0:12:26.440 it's really the same process as usually. You're going off 0:12:26.480 --> 0:12:29.760 of what we went into the first game, you know, 0:12:29.880 --> 0:12:34.040 how how we felt like the first game went, uh, 0:12:34.640 --> 0:12:36.520 you know, and then obviously the four games since then, 0:12:36.559 --> 0:12:39.560 and how they've evolved, and how you anticipate them kind 0:12:39.559 --> 0:12:44.760 of responding, which you know, it's always kind of a anticipate, 0:12:44.920 --> 0:12:47.720 anticipatory thing going into a second you know, division game. 0:12:47.800 --> 0:12:49.959 So that's the way we're kind of approaching it. 0:12:52.320 --> 0:12:54.640 Like a few of the guys mentioned, just the natural 0:12:54.679 --> 0:12:56.360 comfortability that comes with being. 0:12:56.360 --> 0:12:59.040 In a defense for a second year, but having a 0:12:59.120 --> 0:13:01.480 year of NFL coordinating under your belt. Did you change 0:13:01.480 --> 0:13:03.320 anything about the way you talked, you know, at all 0:13:03.400 --> 0:13:06.160 this this offseason or you know, installed game plans? 0:13:07.200 --> 0:13:09.320 Well, I think, you know, we had talked about this 0:13:09.360 --> 0:13:12.120 in the off season a little bit about having a 0:13:12.160 --> 0:13:16.679 clear vision of what we wanted to get to, so 0:13:17.000 --> 0:13:20.040 it crystallized a little bit and how we were coaching 0:13:20.080 --> 0:13:23.560 it and our methods and how to do it, you know, 0:13:23.600 --> 0:13:25.320 I think it was clear. And then just I mean, 0:13:25.360 --> 0:13:27.800 the staff's been awesome on how we've worked together on 0:13:29.080 --> 0:13:30.440 how we want to do it, you know, and how 0:13:30.480 --> 0:13:32.360 you X go about executing it. So I think just 0:13:32.440 --> 0:13:34.439 kind of the logistics of everything is just a lot 0:13:34.480 --> 0:13:35.680 smoother second time around. 0:13:36.920 --> 0:13:40.319 Like people who watched your defense watch the film, I 0:13:40.360 --> 0:13:41.840 think one of the things they say a lot is 0:13:41.840 --> 0:13:43.920 how unselfish everybody's playing. 0:13:44.080 --> 0:13:46.120 You you know, van Neid wasn't here. 0:13:46.040 --> 0:13:48.120 In a week three or four blown he was halfway 0:13:48.120 --> 0:13:49.560 through the preseason. 0:13:49.920 --> 0:13:53.160 Mullette was late. How did you get guys to buy in? 0:13:53.280 --> 0:13:56.240 Is that something where the culture kind of sells itself 0:13:56.280 --> 0:13:58.679 in a lot of ways? Is something you discussed often? 0:13:59.040 --> 0:14:00.320 How does that process work? 0:14:00.800 --> 0:14:03.319 Yeah, I'm really glad you asked that, because our guys 0:14:03.360 --> 0:14:05.760 deserve a lot of credit for playing that certain way. 0:14:05.760 --> 0:14:08.120 I mean, I guess the culture is probably the first 0:14:08.120 --> 0:14:10.640 thing that you know, Harvest and stills the whole team, 0:14:10.679 --> 0:14:13.520 and that's that's been a you know, how we've operated 0:14:13.520 --> 0:14:16.760 here for a long time. And then you know, really 0:14:16.880 --> 0:14:19.360 just the coaches do such a great job with their 0:14:19.360 --> 0:14:21.720 with their with their rooms on a day to day basis, 0:14:21.720 --> 0:14:26.680 and just over communicating roles and how we expect it. 0:14:26.760 --> 0:14:28.440 And you know, it's something that we talk about as 0:14:28.480 --> 0:14:30.680 a unit all the time about hey, look look at 0:14:30.680 --> 0:14:31.880 this guy doing a great job. 0:14:31.920 --> 0:14:34.120 That's set up this guy. So this guy made a great. 0:14:33.920 --> 0:14:35.760 Play, but he was able to make a play because 0:14:36.400 --> 0:14:39.320 these three guys are doing a great job setting this 0:14:39.320 --> 0:14:40.200 guy up for success. 0:14:40.200 --> 0:14:40.840 If that makes sense. 0:14:40.880 --> 0:14:43.160 There's and there's every time someone makes a play, there's 0:14:43.200 --> 0:14:45.320 so many great examples that you can show. So that's 0:14:45.360 --> 0:14:48.000 definitely something that we've stressed. But credit to the guys 0:14:48.200 --> 0:14:51.160 and and buying in. I think they see different guys 0:14:51.200 --> 0:14:53.600 making plays and that's building their confidence. And obviously, you 0:14:53.640 --> 0:14:55.040 know we have I think we have a tight unit 0:14:55.560 --> 0:14:58.120 and it's exciting to see people, you know, be excited 0:14:58.120 --> 0:14:59.080 for other people's success. 0:14:59.080 --> 0:15:01.360 So I think, you know, we're it's it's not. 0:15:01.320 --> 0:15:04.000 Easy to get to this point, so hopefully we build 0:15:04.000 --> 0:15:05.840 on it, but definitely proud of where we're at for sure. 0:15:06.200 --> 0:15:09.360 Specifically on Kyle Van Nooying, what's maybe impressed you most 0:15:09.840 --> 0:15:11.600 on hand over the past six weeks or. 0:15:11.520 --> 0:15:16.240 So, Man, I just uh, to me, he's he's the 0:15:16.240 --> 0:15:18.520 player that that. 0:15:18.440 --> 0:15:20.000 I that we anticipated him being. 0:15:20.040 --> 0:15:22.600 You know, it's the things that he's done over the 0:15:22.640 --> 0:15:23.400 course of his career. 0:15:24.280 --> 0:15:26.760 He's doing here and he's playing obviously at a high level, but. 0:15:26.680 --> 0:15:30.920 He's he's the type of player that that I expected 0:15:30.960 --> 0:15:32.160 him that he was going to be, you know, so 0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:35.080 credit to him for being ready to go. And uh, 0:15:35.240 --> 0:15:36.920 I don't mean that to take anything, but it's just 0:15:37.000 --> 0:15:38.880 that's how how highly I thought of him, for sure. 0:15:40.240 --> 0:15:45.600 Like it's there's Salah Jets went off about Sacks kind. 0:15:45.480 --> 0:15:47.240 Of can be overrated a little this week. 0:15:47.240 --> 0:15:49.520 We're talking about him too much as measure. But for 0:15:49.560 --> 0:15:52.440 a guy like Dafeo Way, who you guys felt like 0:15:52.480 --> 0:15:54.640 improved last year but it may not have shown in 0:15:54.720 --> 0:15:59.040 the sacks, that's how much getting tangible, you know, getting 0:15:59.120 --> 0:16:02.200 sacks and then having that and help him going forward. 0:16:03.880 --> 0:16:06.359 I don't think he's wrong by saying there it's overrated. 0:16:06.400 --> 0:16:08.240 You know, I know where we stand sack wise, but 0:16:08.640 --> 0:16:10.160 I'll be kind of talking of both sides of our 0:16:10.160 --> 0:16:14.040 mouth over the course of the years. But with with 0:16:14.120 --> 0:16:20.560 Dolphin particular, I think, you know, it's just overall confidence. 0:16:20.600 --> 0:16:22.720 You know, you're getting to the quarterback and having and 0:16:22.720 --> 0:16:25.480 having success and having maybe a little bit of validation 0:16:25.560 --> 0:16:28.880 about the type of work that he's put in, but 0:16:29.160 --> 0:16:31.400 whether or not he was getting him or not, you know, 0:16:31.520 --> 0:16:33.840 to me and I've talked spoken on this a lot, 0:16:33.960 --> 0:16:37.560 is the process and how he approaches it. We're very 0:16:37.560 --> 0:16:40.040 proud of that and standing on that right now, and 0:16:40.200 --> 0:16:42.400 I think you're starting to see the production come to fruition, 0:16:42.480 --> 0:16:43.920 is what we anticipated all along. 0:16:44.680 --> 0:16:46.440 You've been asked plenty before about what's it like going 0:16:46.480 --> 0:16:49.280 every day against Lamar with your defense? What is it 0:16:49.360 --> 0:16:52.520 like going against Mark Andrews? What sticks out the most 0:16:52.520 --> 0:16:54.400 to you with a defensive coordinator watching eight or not? 0:16:55.760 --> 0:16:59.840 Well, Mark is an ultimate competitor and he brings it 0:17:00.040 --> 0:17:03.160 every day. So that's the first thing that that comes 0:17:03.160 --> 0:17:06.919 to mind when you when you think about Mark and 0:17:07.000 --> 0:17:09.440 our guys know, hey, if you if you win a 0:17:09.480 --> 0:17:12.800 rep against Mark, you know, that's saying something. So that's 0:17:12.800 --> 0:17:15.920 just iron shopping's iron type of thing. And obviously he's 0:17:16.000 --> 0:17:17.560 you know, definitely one of the best in the game 0:17:17.600 --> 0:17:19.359 to do it, probably for you know, for a long time. 0:17:19.480 --> 0:17:22.920 So just seeing him come out and compete every day 0:17:22.960 --> 0:17:25.600 in his mentality, he doesn't never backs down. He's always 0:17:25.600 --> 0:17:28.040 bringing it and makes make sure that we're on our 0:17:28.080 --> 0:17:29.000 p's and q's as well. 0:17:29.680 --> 0:17:31.880 Like, I'm just curious to hear your argument about why 0:17:31.960 --> 0:17:32.960 sex are ever even. 0:17:34.760 --> 0:17:36.360 There's a lot that goes into it, right, I mean, 0:17:36.400 --> 0:17:38.840 you can win rushes at a certain rate and the 0:17:38.880 --> 0:17:42.320 balls out, or if you're not winning, if you're winning 0:17:42.359 --> 0:17:44.439 rushes at a at a at a lower rate, but 0:17:44.480 --> 0:17:46.199 the guy's holding the ball. It's just there's different things 0:17:46.240 --> 0:17:49.040 that go into it. So I think sacks are important 0:17:49.040 --> 0:17:50.679 for sure, you know, because they affect the game and 0:17:51.200 --> 0:17:55.040 yardage and all sorts of things. But quarterback psyche that 0:17:55.080 --> 0:17:57.560 sort of thing. But there's definitely more to go into 0:17:57.560 --> 0:18:00.040 it in terms of affecting the quarterback and and you know, 0:18:00.119 --> 0:18:02.520 winning downs on a you know, per down position are 0:18:02.640 --> 0:18:03.880 in a situational basis. 0:18:04.320 --> 0:18:06.400 You guys did a great job against Mark Cooper back 0:18:06.400 --> 0:18:09.320 in Week four. Obviously in a quarterback this time around, 0:18:09.920 --> 0:18:12.119 it seems like lost. It's got a great relationship with that. 0:18:12.560 --> 0:18:14.760 I guess, just what are you making your execution from 0:18:14.760 --> 0:18:17.159 that first game and maybe how does how to think 0:18:17.280 --> 0:18:18.480 chime to change right this time around? 0:18:19.600 --> 0:18:21.639 Well, like I said, in the first time, they do 0:18:21.640 --> 0:18:24.360 a great job moving them around, so we have to 0:18:24.359 --> 0:18:26.679 be able to account forever where he lines up and 0:18:26.680 --> 0:18:28.560 the things that he does from those particular angles. So 0:18:28.600 --> 0:18:30.280 I think the guys did a great job of recognized 0:18:30.320 --> 0:18:33.919 that the first game, and you know, I think the 0:18:33.920 --> 0:18:36.040 way the game played out was probably hard to get 0:18:36.080 --> 0:18:37.840 to some things they probably had game plan. So that's 0:18:37.840 --> 0:18:39.080 something that we're gonn have to account for as a 0:18:39.080 --> 0:18:39.680 game goes along. 0:18:39.720 --> 0:18:40.080 For sure. 0:18:42.920 --> 0:18:45.040 That was defensive coordinator Mike McDonald. We also talk with 0:18:45.040 --> 0:18:46.680 Special teams coordinator Chris Horton. 0:18:47.680 --> 0:18:50.440
