1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,880 Speaker 1: Have you ever had a rotating cornerback like position, you know, 2 00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:07,960 Speaker 1: where we're basically two series here, two series whatever it 3 00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:10,800 Speaker 1: may be, of guys, Have you ever done that throughout 4 00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:11,280 Speaker 1: a season? 5 00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:14,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm just trying to think in my history, I 6 00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:18,200 Speaker 2: don't think I have. I don't think I have, just 7 00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:20,400 Speaker 2: based on where I've been and who I've had at 8 00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:23,120 Speaker 2: those spots. But again a lot of guys have always 9 00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:25,040 Speaker 2: had to play like it's the nature of the league. 10 00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:29,200 Speaker 2: So I mean it comes up, I guess, but I 11 00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:31,800 Speaker 2: don't really don't really know about that right now. 12 00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:36,239 Speaker 3: Does it make sense to sometimes handle a position situationally? 13 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,600 Speaker 3: This week this guy works better for us, Next week 14 00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:42,320 Speaker 3: is a matchup, the other guy works better or no 15 00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:43,159 Speaker 3: I want one. 16 00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:44,919 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a good point. I do. 17 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,199 Speaker 2: I think every it's a matchup Lake, right, It's a 18 00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,720 Speaker 2: matchup league. So I mean, I think every week you're 19 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:54,600 Speaker 2: trying to do that, whether it's it's positionally, corner front wise, 20 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:56,880 Speaker 2: whatever that might be, trying to find the best matchups 21 00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:58,880 Speaker 2: that work for us and put these guys in favorable, 22 00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:03,200 Speaker 2: favorable position. So yeah, absolutely, I think week to week 23 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:04,080 Speaker 2: it's something you look at. 24 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,200 Speaker 5: He knew that Carter was an explosive player when you 25 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 5: drafted him. Is there something about his skill set over 26 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,320 Speaker 5: the summer that surprised you or part of his game 27 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 5: you didn't know he had that he showed. 28 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:20,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think, like you see the explosiveness obviously rushing 29 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:20,640 Speaker 2: the passer. 30 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 4: He's a really good athlete too. 31 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,480 Speaker 2: He can bend, the flexibility everything that comes with it, 32 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 2: which we've all seen from Penn State. I think just 33 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,760 Speaker 2: I think there's a violence to him, Like the explosiveness 34 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:38,120 Speaker 2: comes out in that in that form too, which is 35 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,120 Speaker 2: probably a little bit more than what I was expecting 36 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 2: to be honest, But I mean he's He's done everything 37 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 2: we asked of him, continues to try to improve, continues 38 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 2: to practice hard. 39 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 4: So I'm excited about I'm excited to see him out 40 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 4: there Sunday. 41 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 1: Sure, eager just to unleash the pass rush. When you're 42 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 1: against the guy's mobile as Daniels, how much does that 43 00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 1: impact your approach as far do you want to dictate 44 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 1: to him? But if you obviously go to aggressive, he 45 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 1: can burn you. 46 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, no, no doubt. I mean it's really good offense. 47 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:10,360 Speaker 2: And I think obviously the playmakers, they have the scheme 48 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,680 Speaker 2: CAUs his issues I mean, it's eleven to eleven football 49 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 2: every single play. It's a fine line, like we've got 50 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:20,239 Speaker 2: to be able to rush the guy, but we got 51 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,079 Speaker 2: to make sure we're coordinated, we're all in the same page, 52 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 2: we're executing. 53 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 4: We're not leaving. 54 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 2: Big increases, easy edges for them where he can just 55 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 2: take off and get vertical on us. That's that's the 56 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,800 Speaker 2: biggest thing. When when he has a lane and he 57 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 2: can get vertical, he's a he's a tough tackle in space. 58 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 2: It tough to bring down with just one guy. So 59 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,240 Speaker 2: I think it just goes back to our rush coordination, 60 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 2: making sure we're we're coordinated, understanding how the guy next 61 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 2: to me is rushing, how it all ties together, where 62 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 2: we can hopefully minimize and shrink some of those windows, 63 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 2: like you rush for there's six gaps, right, so I mean, 64 00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 2: just by a number count, there's going to be a 65 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,360 Speaker 2: couple of plays is where he can escape if he 66 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 2: needs to, and we just gotta make sure we do 67 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 2: a good job of constricting those spaces. 68 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,519 Speaker 4: Where it's not inviting for him. Jay, what did you 69 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 4: think of your run defense this summer and how different 70 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 4: are they to defend against the run without Robinson not 71 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 4: being in that running. 72 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,639 Speaker 2: Back then yeah, I mean I feel like we've improved. 73 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,519 Speaker 2: I do. I like the additions we've made. I think 74 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 2: those guys up front have have developed a little bit 75 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 2: as well, just in terms of what we're trying to 76 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 2: do in the run game. I think the linebackers have 77 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 2: done good. I think Bobby and Micah Moose, all three 78 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 2: of those guys have done a good job. So I'm 79 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 2: encouraging where we're at right now. It's gonna be a 80 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 2: big challenge this week. I mean, it's like I said, 81 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 2: eleven to eleven football, they got a lot of different schemes, 82 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 2: a lot of window dressing. They got Debo now what 83 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 2: they do with him, So there's a lot to it. 84 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 2: But hopefully are fundamentals hold true. We can play physical 85 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 2: upfront and not let it affect us too much, but 86 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 2: we're gonna have been We're gonna have to be disciplined 87 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 2: and making making sure we're in the right spot because 88 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 2: it's gonna take everybody in the run game this week. 89 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 4: So we'll see. What was the other part of that. 90 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 5: It's just how different their backfield is to defend without Robinson. 91 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 4: It sounds like you expect maybe deepot a factor in there. 92 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean we'll see just his history, what 93 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,040 Speaker 2: he what he's done in San France at times, it 94 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:25,160 Speaker 2: wouldn't surprise me. I think the rookie Krosskey Merrit runs hard. 95 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 2: Like they obviously have have some confidence in him. Eckler's 96 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,480 Speaker 2: done it a long time. So McNichols played against this 97 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:34,920 Speaker 2: last year, so we'll see they got they got a 98 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,280 Speaker 2: plethora in that room of different guys. They're all a 99 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 2: little bit different, but obviously they feel confident in those 100 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 2: guys enough to let Robinson walk, and so I'm sure 101 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 2: they're gonna be ready for Shane. 102 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,840 Speaker 3: I would imagine that, you know, as a coordinator, when 103 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 3: you look at your depth chart and your starters and 104 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:52,720 Speaker 3: you said, we got some you know, three or four things, 105 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:53,719 Speaker 3: I'm really worried about. 106 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:54,680 Speaker 4: That's a challenge. 107 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 3: Well what about conversely, he as a coordinator, if you 108 00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 3: look up front and you said, you know, I got 109 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 3: a lot of guys said I got to figure out 110 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 3: how to play. Can that be a big challenge too, 111 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:05,479 Speaker 3: you know, because you've got to get it right with 112 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 3: that rotation. 113 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,279 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a good problem to have, first of all, 114 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 2: but as a staff I think we sit in there. 115 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 4: We we tried to find. 116 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,600 Speaker 2: Ways to put these guys in the best positions where 117 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 2: they can have success. Again, it's it's unique you've got 118 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 2: three edge they're all going to. 119 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,160 Speaker 4: Play, but you've got three edge guys. 120 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 2: I'm sure you're referring to that, and just how how 121 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,039 Speaker 2: we utilize those guys and they'll all be in there, 122 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 2: and I think that that will evolve a little bit 123 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,600 Speaker 2: as we go too. Like one of those guys, the 124 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,040 Speaker 2: rookie is going to be his first game, so what 125 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 2: what does that look like and where he's at And 126 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 2: a little bit back to your last question the matchups 127 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 2: week to week, what are teams doing to us? What's 128 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 2: their scheme that that plays a part in it as 129 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,720 Speaker 2: well in terms of our versatility. 130 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 4: So to speak. 131 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:56,600 Speaker 2: So, I mean, I think it's going to be an 132 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 2: evolving thing as we go kind of throughout the season. 133 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 2: But it's a good problem a half. It's a it's 134 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 2: a really good problem to have, and that's on us 135 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 2: as a coaching staff to be creative and find way 136 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 2: to ulize all three of them. 137 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:11,039 Speaker 3: We follow up if as a coordinator after the game 138 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,239 Speaker 3: is over, do you really want to avoid. 139 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 4: Looking thing to take saying. 140 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 3: Why didn't I have him out there? You know what 141 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,600 Speaker 3: I mean, versus you don't have to say somebody you say, 142 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 3: you know what, I should have had him out. 143 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:23,479 Speaker 4: For that kind of thing. Yeah. 144 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, and again, I mean we can all be the 145 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:30,839 Speaker 2: armshare quarterback in the certain situations. Hopefully we find a 146 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 2: way to get the guys that we feel best suit 147 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 2: us in that situation and have conviction on it. Like 148 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:38,720 Speaker 2: we spend a lot of time here throughout the week 149 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:42,920 Speaker 2: and going through all those scenarios, those situations, what we're 150 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 2: playing to what and vice vera. Who's in the game, 151 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,719 Speaker 2: and you've got to have conviction. Ultimately, if it doesn't 152 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 2: work out, you're probably kicking yourself come Monday. But at 153 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 2: the same time, when it does, hopefully hopefully you're feeling 154 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 2: pretty good about those decisions you made. 155 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 4: You have. Talent wise, what are your expectations for the 156 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:02,599 Speaker 4: this group to share? 157 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,719 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, going into week one, I think it's 158 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 2: it's make the plays you're supposed to make. Like, let's 159 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 2: let's make sure we're we're in the right spots, we 160 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 2: know what to do, we're playing fast, playing physical, and 161 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 2: and when we get an opportunity. Let's let's make those 162 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 2: plays when we get a one on one block, Let's 163 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 2: find a way to win our one on ones. Don't 164 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 2: got to be anything spectacular.
