1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,280
Speaker 1: So when we your guys out there, I mean, what

2
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:05,440
Speaker 1: did you like, what did you need to work on

3
00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:06,840
Speaker 1: it clean up going into this league?

4
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 2: Uh, you know, I liked, Uh, I like the effort

5
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 2: we play with.

6
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 1: I thought the guys played really really hard, you know,

7
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:16,400
Speaker 1: and I thought we were attacking the ball, which is

8
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:19,919
Speaker 1: something uh we've you know, made a big major point

9
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:20,600
Speaker 1: of emphasis.

10
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:23,759
Speaker 2: I thought they did a good job with that. I

11
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 2: think from a you know, cleaning up.

12
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 1: Perspective, there's always there's always numerous things, but I keep

13
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,600
Speaker 1: going back to, you know, communication, I thought, overall, pretty

14
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 1: good job, but definitely some things that clean up there too,

15
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:39,279
Speaker 1: uh as well. So you know, like any week there

16
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 1: there's there's stuff left a little meat on the bone

17
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:42,239
Speaker 1: and stuff to clean up.

18
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 3: Defensive Player of the Week for the AFC. Yeah, just

19
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:46,519
Speaker 3: what does he mean to the defense?

20
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:51,560
Speaker 1: He's a great leader, He's he's a great communicator, you know,

21
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 1: total pro Very happy for him because he's a guy

22
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 1: that does the right thing every day. Uh just works

23
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: really really hard and uh it's great to see him

24
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:02,959
Speaker 1: uh get honored that way.

25
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 2: Really is he's he's a huge part of everything we

26
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 2: do challenge.

27
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:10,400
Speaker 3: For in terms of balance, pressure, Yeah.

28
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: I mean he's just pretty good against everything, so he's uh,

29
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 1: he's definitely a challenge.

30
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 2: You know.

31
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 1: He hangs in there, Uh, incredibly accurate thrower and just

32
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:21,960
Speaker 1: a tough guy.

33
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 2: You know.

34
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,759
Speaker 1: I see that in the way he's he's played over

35
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 1: the years and just watching him over the years. Yeah,

36
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 1: he's a very very accurate thrower, hangs in the pocket,

37
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: and a really bright guy. You know, knows what to

38
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: get into from protection perspective and where the ball should go.

39
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 2: So it'll definitely be a challenge.

40
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 3: You guys get up for every game.

41
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 1: They get up more for games like this, top quarterback

42
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: to top receivers. I just think it's it's uh, it's

43
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: a great challenge for our guys. And you know, obviously, uh,

44
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: they got a bunch of great players, and I think

45
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: the guys are doing a great job working hard, uh,

46
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: trying to get the game plan right, you know, to

47
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: get out there and play well on Sunday. So I'm

48
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: just so focused on that right now, and I think

49
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 1: they are too, just getting the game plan right and

50
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,919
Speaker 1: the communication there so, but they have been doing things

51
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 1: in the right way to this point.

52
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 2: This week.

53
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 3: If it pass rushing, people mostly look at sacks. How

54
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 3: important are pressures and just getting that consistent pressure, like

55
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 3: you guys did something.

56
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like, sacks are great, and that's that's a very

57
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 1: important part, right obviously because those are negative plays. But

58
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 1: you want to be able to affect the quarterback and

59
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 1: we talk about hands, hits, hurries every day and that's

60
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: super important to us. You know, even battered ball, you know,

61
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 1: creating middle push in the pocket, getting the quarterback off

62
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: the spot, all that stuff can play a factor in

63
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: incomplete passes right and a successful down for the defense.

64
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 2: So for us, it's a huge point of emphasis.

65
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: It's a really really important Like if you get ten

66
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: sacks in the season, you had a really good year

67
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,239
Speaker 1: in this league. You know, you may have rushed the

68
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 1: passer six hundred and fifty times, so what did you

69
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: do with the other six hundred and forty snaps and

70
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: you might have affected the quarterback a whole lot, And that.

71
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:01,639
Speaker 2: To me is how we evaluate who's really really productive

72
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 2: in the rush.

73
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: To consideration, I think Mason just getting healthy and getting

74
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 1: him the opportunity to you know, play a little bit

75
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,519
Speaker 1: more obviously came in so late the tail end of camp,

76
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: but he's done a really good job, and you know,

77
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: every week is different, so he's been working really really hard.

78
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: You know, I love coaching the guy, and I think

79
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: he's getting better every day.

80
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 3: With one game now down, is it fair to say

81
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 3: that the rookies you see a being improven from week

82
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 3: one week here in specifically Travis Center.

83
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 2: It could finish the end of that, I'm sorry, repeat

84
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 2: the end of that week.

85
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 3: One to week two? Do you see a big jump

86
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 3: or progress for the rookis and specifically Travis? Do you

87
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 3: expect that?

88
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think for everybody, just as a team, your

89
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: biggest jump in the season is from week one to

90
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 1: week two. I totally agree with that overall, and obviously

91
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 1: you're always hopeful that's the case for the rookies too.

92
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: And you know, I think he's incrementally gotten better each

93
00:03:57,880 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: day he has and the more and more he gets

94
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 1: the opportun to go out there and do that, you know,

95
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: I think he will progress and I think, uh, there

96
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: will be a jump for him.

97
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 3: But he was talking about Travis getting more snaps defense

98
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 3: just you know, what does he bring to the table

99
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 3: in terms of se put him in there and switch

100
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 3: on the rap.

101
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:16,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just think you know, Travis is a great athlete,

102
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: you know, and he's aggressive player on defense, so uh,

103
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: that's what we love about him. And like I said,

104
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 1: he's been doing everything he can on both ends of it,

105
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,919
Speaker 1: uh to be the best he can be as a

106
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: defensive player and an offensive player. But he definitely puts

107
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 1: another guy out there with ball skills, you know, attention

108
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 1: to detail and uh, a physical style of play. So

109
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 1: we're excited with his progress at this point on defense.

110
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 3: He slow down the guy like Jamar Chase.

111
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean he's uh, he's an incredible football player.

112
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: You know, you really have to. Everybody's got to do

113
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: their one eleventh every every game against this guy. And

114
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,239
Speaker 1: you know, obviously he's had so many successful outings against

115
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: a lot of different teams. So definitely a hard game

116
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 1: to stop, you know, because he really has a great

117
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:04,919
Speaker 1: catch radius. Uh, he's really good at the top of

118
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: the route. He's good on the line of scrimmage. So

119
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,160
Speaker 1: you know, I think he has a lot of qualities

120
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: that make him an elite receiver. So you really got

121
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: to do a great job within the game plan obviously,

122
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: you know, knowing where he is and and uh, like

123
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,479
Speaker 1: I said, doing your job on the back end every play.

124
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 2: It's you know, because one play can get you Just

125
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:24,599
Speaker 2: how valuable.

126
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 3: Was Jordan Lewis and the vetter of leadership make a

127
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 3: place in the week one him?

128
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:32,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's extremely valuable, not even just as a player.

129
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 1: I mean you watch him go out there and play.

130
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: He's got great ball skills. He attacks the ball and

131
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: he's a physical guy. You know, he's he's really a

132
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:44,719
Speaker 1: unique person because he's got unbelievable leadership qualities, just very

133
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: honest with his teammates, you know, honest with with me

134
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,160
Speaker 1: all the time. He's a guy that I rely on

135
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 1: uh and trust uh out there because he's a great

136
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: communicator as well, like I said about Foyer, and he's

137
00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:00,479
Speaker 1: a guy that does things right every day. So uh

138
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 1: it shows up on Sunday, you know what I mean.

139
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 1: And you you can't have enough of those guys. And

140
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:08,479
Speaker 1: we value we value him a whole lot. That's for

141
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 1: sure played as much dive.

142
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 3: As you did last week. What kind of flexibilities does

143
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 3: that get do us with the color?

144
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 2: Yeah?

145
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:16,839
Speaker 1: I think every game is different, but it definitely gives

146
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 1: you a little bit of flexibility against one of those

147
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: you know, when they play smaller groupings more receivers on

148
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: the field, you know, and it kind of gives you,

149
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:28,599
Speaker 1: uh an opportunity to play different guys. And like I said,

150
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:30,599
Speaker 1: every game is different. You know, we may not do

151
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 1: that in every game, but it does give you some

152
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: certain flexibilities. And are the guys who were in there

153
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,720
Speaker 1: at those positions have done a good job of being

154
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 1: involved in the pressures, you know, being able to play

155
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,239
Speaker 1: the run game, and then obviously some of the stuff

156
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,160
Speaker 1: we're giving them the opportunity to do in the past

157
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 1: game in the past coverage.

158
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,280
Speaker 3: Your first regular season game was a defensive quarter of

159
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 3: your bill. Did you learn anything different?

160
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:55,720
Speaker 1: No, I just think you guys asked last week, you're

161
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 1: always I think you're always learning your players, you know

162
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: what I mean, and uh, learning what we can get

163
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 1: better at, who does what well? And you know, when

164
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: the lights go on, who shows up and who performs.

165
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: And I thought, like I said, how I opened this was,

166
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 1: I thought, the guys played really, really physical, which we

167
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 1: have to keep doing that, you know what I mean.

168
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: I can't go away. If we're gonna be a good defense,

169
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 1: we have to be a physical defense. We got to

170
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 1: run to the ball, we got to attack the ball.

171
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: And you got to show up with the right culture

172
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 1: every day. That starts with how you walk in the

173
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: building every day. So I was I learned that, you know,

174
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 1: our guys will go out there and play as hard

175
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 1: as they can every snap of the game, which is

176
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 1: what I thought they did just help word.

177
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 3: Was it for for your route to see that early,

178
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 3: to get all those drivers early on?

179
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's always a great thing, you know

180
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 1: what I mean. They've been working hard on it. It's

181
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 1: good to see them get rewarded on that end of it.

182
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 1: But again, like anything else, we got to keep doing that.

183
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: You know, we have to keep attacking the ball. We

184
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: have to continue to play with vision and if we're

185
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: in the right position, you know, and our eyes are right,

186
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: we're going to have opportunities hopefully to make plays on

187
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: the football and we have to keep doing that if

188
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: we're going to be a successful defense. But I think

189
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 1: that is it is a good thing for the guys

190
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 1: to get rewarded on that.

191
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 4: Says the run defense on Sunday And where do you

192
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 4: want to kind of see you go from here?

193
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think there's there's some real good snaps in there.

194
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 1: But I think there's some plays where you know, I

195
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 1: wasn't pleased with it, to be honest with you, and

196
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 1: we got to be a little bit more disciplined on

197
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 1: a couple snaps there, and that'll be the case all

198
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: the way up through the end of the season, you

199
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 1: know what I mean, constantly evaluating that, getting on them

200
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 1: about the fundamentals of playing great run defense. But there

201
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 1: are some things there that the principles we talk about

202
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 1: in defending the run that show up, and we made

203
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 1: some good stops in the game because of those, but

204
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 1: we just have to be really, really consistent, be vigilant

205
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 1: on that the rest of our way.

206
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 3: I think, how would you says? How to offer last week? Think?

207
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 5: I think the offense made progress on where we've been

208
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,839
Speaker 5: with certain things. But certainly the good news is there's

209
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 5: a lot of room for improvement the operation and some

210
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 5: of the penalties. Those are clear things that we need

211
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 5: to improve and will work on improving every day in practice, meetings,

212
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 5: walk through, et cetera.

213
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 2: But I was pleased with the effort.

214
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 5: From the guys, the way they attack the game and

215
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 5: approach the game plan their preparation.

216
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 3: Typically Trevor, just what did you see from him?

217
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 5: I know, maybe his third quarter wasn't as h was

218
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,679
Speaker 5: it as good, but just overall, just what did you

219
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 5: see from Trevor Very similar to the other guys in

220
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,359
Speaker 5: the offense as a whole, the preparation was greatly appreciated.

221
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 5: I think he felt that, I think we felt that

222
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:25,959
Speaker 5: with his mastery of the game plan what we were

223
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 5: trying to do with each play and each concept. Now,

224
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 5: the final product wasn't always perfect or exactly what we

225
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 5: were going for, but he managed a lot of those

226
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 5: situations at a high level.

227
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 3: Going back to last year, Tampa Leave had a lot

228
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 3: of opening drive success and appuelabal this week during the week,

229
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:42,719
Speaker 3: what do you like about.

230
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 5: His process for that opening fifteen to twenty plus. One

231
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 5: of the great things about the process is that the

232
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 5: preparation evolves throughout the week. It's not a game plan

233
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 5: that's put in on Monday evening, Monday morning, Tuesday morning

234
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,559
Speaker 5: and that's set in stone, and that's what we're going with.

235
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 5: Adaptive flexible, So we are constantly trying to iterate and

236
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 5: find the best path to success, whether it's the first

237
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 5: drive of the last drive, all the way through up

238
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 5: the kickoff. Essentially, when you're trying to create that preparation.

239
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 5: So it's great to see that process and see the

240
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 5: fruits of it pan out.

241
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 3: What makes easy end so valuable to this offense.

242
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 5: I think one of the things that you've probably saw

243
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 5: this past weekend was his ability pass game, run, game,

244
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 5: screen game. That flexibility and versatility excuse me, shows up,

245
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 5: and that's like the other guy's attestament to his preparation.

246
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 5: Some of the situations that he might not have been

247
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 5: on or might not have excelled at at previous times

248
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 5: or earlier in training camp or in the spring, he's

249
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 5: worked at, improved and been able to do that at

250
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 5: a high level.

251
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,680
Speaker 3: Specific moment other end trying to camp. We're in the

252
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:49,599
Speaker 3: spring where he kind of flipped the switch and you

253
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:51,599
Speaker 3: could see he was kind of picking it up a

254
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 3: little bit more.

255
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 5: I wouldn't necessarily say flip the switch. It's a process

256
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 5: that builds over time. So you see him stack days

257
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 5: on top of each other. It's never a straight line

258
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 5: that progress, but over time you see bits and pieces

259
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 5: here and there, and ultimately you get to the spot

260
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 5: you're at. Now.

261
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 3: What about Tutman now and what are the best parts

262
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 3: of your game?

263
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 5: I think for tut you see the athleticism, the explosiveness,

264
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 5: the ball carrier ability, vision, all of those things that

265
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 5: will only continue to get better as he becomes more

266
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 5: comfortable with our run scheme. He's also another guy that's

267
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 5: improved in the past game, whether it's routes or protection,

268
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 5: doing things that he hasn't been asked to do before.

269
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 5: So his progression and that mentally and physically has been

270
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 5: awesome to see, Laquin. You love the physicality, the protection,

271
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 5: the route ability out of the backfield, and then same

272
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,320
Speaker 5: thing for him in the run game, getting some opportunities

273
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 5: to run different run concepts and schemes where maybe he

274
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 5: didn't get a bunch of reps that the other guy's

275
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,440
Speaker 5: got during training camp, but as he's gotten those reps,

276
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 5: he's gotten better and better.

277
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,680
Speaker 4: Loo Quick most of the conversation around that, Like you mentioned,

278
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:52,560
Speaker 4: it's kind of as a cross protector that he can

279
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 4: offer some stuff in the running game, like he just said.

280
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 5: Right, absolutely, and I think you saw that, whether it's

281
00:11:57,960 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 5: run after the catcher, when he does get an opportunity

282
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 5: to run the ball, he's been able to make plays.

283
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 5: Now the opportunity is on Sunday, we're a little limited,

284
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 5: but in preseason and in training camp. You guys see

285
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,199
Speaker 5: it out there at the practices. He's made plays when

286
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 5: he has the opportunity, well.

287
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 3: You know, seven targets saying we'll get one catch.

288
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:14,319
Speaker 5: Is that something you guys just have to go back

289
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 5: to the drawing board on or is it something maybe

290
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 5: in one off. I don't know that it would be

291
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 5: necessarily go back to the drawing board or one off.

292
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 5: I think you always evaluate the game plan and see

293
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,719
Speaker 5: did we utilize his skill sett and his talents the

294
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 5: best of our ability, and then how does that fit

295
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 5: with the offense in total or the team's approach to

296
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 5: winning the game. That's the way it panned out with that,

297
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 5: and of course a touchdown form as well, you know,

298
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 5: running the ball. But we're always going to try to

299
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 5: find the best ways to get guys the ball and

300
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 5: use their talents, whether it is past game, run game,

301
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 5: and when we don't achieve that, it might not be

302
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,319
Speaker 5: because of the numbers, it might be because of just

303
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 5: the way the game played out. But we're always going

304
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 5: to evaluate and look and see what's the best way

305
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:53,439
Speaker 5: to use those guys.

306
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:55,199
Speaker 3: Just one, you've got one game with gris Belt. I

307
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:55,960
Speaker 3: don't think he did.

308
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 5: His first Actually, it was exciting to see him out there.

309
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 5: Exciting to see him out there, crazy to see the

310
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 5: offense and then go back out there and play defense.

311
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 5: But I was fired up for him. He's a guy

312
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 5: that plays with a lot of passion, so it's cool

313
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 5: to see him get that opportunity to go out there

314
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 5: and do it for real on Sunday. I think he

315
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 5: attacked the game plan, the preparation, all of that with

316
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 5: great tenacity. It's a lot to manage, not just as

317
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 5: a rookie. You could be a ten year vet and

318
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 5: that's a lot to manage going into a season opener,

319
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,319
Speaker 5: trying to learn a new system on offense, a new

320
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:25,440
Speaker 5: system on defense, totally new operation from the way the

321
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 5: game goes, different TV timeouts from college compared to NFL,

322
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 5: different rules, all that stuff. So it was a lot

323
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:32,959
Speaker 5: of fun to see him attack it. I think he's

324
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 5: another guy that did well but has room to improve.

325
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 2: Like the rest of us.

326
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,679
Speaker 5: Do coach his players included, and he'll continue to get

327
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 5: better and better because of the way he works.

328
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 4: On fourth and one on the opening drive is attacking.

329
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 3: It's aggressive. It's what Liam said he was going to be.

330
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 4: Do you share that did you bring that same mentality

331
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 4: to the offensive staff that he assembled to come with

332
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 4: that previous position to being aggressive or are you guys

333
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,440
Speaker 4: having to learn how Liam wants to attack?

334
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a great question.

335
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:01,479
Speaker 3: I think we're all learning.

336
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 5: A little bit from each other. So how much of

337
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 5: it is predisposition or how much of it is something

338
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 5: that's just innate to all of us. I don't know

339
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 5: exactly where we lie, but it's probably somewhere in the

340
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 5: middle of that. But we're certainly influenced by Liam, and

341
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 5: I'm sure we have our influences on him or the

342
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 5: unit as a whole. But it's great to see his

343
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 5: approach and the benefits of that payoff for sure.

344
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 4: That first drive wouldn't have say about the offense getting

345
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 4: points is fight you know that only he's getting in

346
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 4: some of the second and third off situations.

347
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 5: It kind of goes back to what I said earlier

348
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 5: about we have a lot of things to improve, but

349
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 5: the good news is we have a lot of room

350
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 5: for improvement. The ability for guys to handle that adversity,

351
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 5: even though it was self inflicted and overcome it is

352
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 5: encouraging because we can be in second along situations and

353
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 5: overcome that and still get first downs, move the chains

354
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 5: and get points. Of course, we would like to stay

355
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 5: out of those situations if possible, so it's great to

356
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 5: see those guys attack it move on that one play

357
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 5: at a time mindset, but we're going to do everything

358
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 5: we can to stay out of those situations moving forward.

359
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 3: Like the Vegals that you have to play up the slow,

360
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 3: we're putting extra pressure on in your offense to make

361
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 3: sure that you use for touchdowns.

362
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 5: The beautiful thing is we can only control we can control.

363
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 5: So we're preaching to our guys, whether it's this week,

364
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 5: last week, every week, to go out there and control

365
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 5: those things. Stick to our process. We're out there focused

366
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 5: on us we have trusting our defense, trusting the special teams,

367
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 5: trusting those guys out there on all the units, and

368
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 5: when we're out there on offense, we're taking it one

369
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 5: play at a time and just controlling what we can do.

370
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 3: What's the challenge with the Begals defense.

371
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 5: There's a lot of challenges. I think you look at

372
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 5: the personnel and the players, whether it's really all three

373
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 5: levels have guys that can challenge in different ways with matchups, rush,

374
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 5: run game, different pressure packages, different fronts that they can bring,

375
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 5: and some of the coverage scheme that they're playing presents

376
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 5: things that are unique and different than what we played

377
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 5: against last week. So we'll try to have adjustments or

378
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 5: change the game plans, but ultimately we'll see the best

379
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 5: way to attack that for each individual player and then

380
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 5: as an offensive unit as a whole bigger challenge just

381
00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 5: straight Andrews certainly a big challenge, and those numbers speak

382
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 5: for himself. He's a phenomenal player who's that production isn't

383
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 5: by accident, by any stretch of the imagination. I think

384
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 5: it's going to take a team effort for those guys

385
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 5: and the offensive line to buy into the protection plan,

386
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 5: the run game plan to try to handle him, and

387
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 5: really all the guys up front, and the myriad of

388
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 5: issues that they kind of pose.

389
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 3: How goodness that first week for the offensive line.

390
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 5: It was great to see those guys playing together. That's

391
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 5: another group I talked about last week, the cohesiveness of

392
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 5: that unit as they start to come together. So it

393
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 5: was really cool to see them come together, play together

394
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 5: for an entire game, little different than preseason, with a

395
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 5: week of preparation, and then to have that result running

396
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 5: the ball. Now, the numbers tell a great story, but

397
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 5: they don't tell the whole story. So, just like everybody else,

398
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 5: we all have room for improvement. I hope that we'll

399
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 5: continue working and we'll keep getting better. But it was

400
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 5: great to see us be able to run the ball,

401
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 5: and those guys you know, come up big in protection

402
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 5: and the run game at certain spots of that game,
