1 00:00:01,639 --> 00:00:06,160 Speaker 1: Job. How we doing good? How are you fantastic? They 2 00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:08,200 Speaker 1: just beat meat us off with the challenge of the 3 00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:15,920 Speaker 1: build's defense. Yeah, obviously it's a it's a good unit 4 00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:21,160 Speaker 1: in every way. Challenge it with uh what they do schematically, Uh, 5 00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:24,520 Speaker 1: good players at all three levels. And I think the 6 00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:28,840 Speaker 1: most impressive thing is how connected they are. This staff 7 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:31,640 Speaker 1: is obviously, you know, uh led by Sean and Bobby 8 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,040 Speaker 1: and they've been together for a while. I know there's 9 00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:36,040 Speaker 1: some people that are a little new to it, but 10 00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:38,720 Speaker 1: their program has been up and running for a while now, 11 00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:45,320 Speaker 1: and you can just tell the continuity, the consistency, the communication. 12 00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:49,320 Speaker 1: They don't make a lot of mistakes. They're really force 13 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,320 Speaker 1: you to execute over and over and over again to 14 00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:56,960 Speaker 1: drive the ball and score. You know, play played really 15 00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,720 Speaker 1: tough in situational football, and I obviously we're gonna be 16 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:04,160 Speaker 1: dealing with the elements, you know, of the crowd noise 17 00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:08,000 Speaker 1: and those types of things. So a ton of respect 18 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 1: for Sean and this whole entire group. They play the 19 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:17,040 Speaker 1: way that you would want a defense to play, you know, connected, hard, physical, 20 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 1: challenging with the scheme, and certainly it'll be a big 21 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,560 Speaker 1: challenge on the road with the noise too, So looking 22 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 1: forward to it, our preparations obviously well underway. Our guys 23 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,680 Speaker 1: are getting really familiar with who they're gonna compete against, 24 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:31,960 Speaker 1: but we know it's gonna be a big challenge. Josh. 25 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,200 Speaker 2: I know you guys are deeply in the offense, and 26 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,039 Speaker 2: you know Teamscrip plays a big role in this. But 27 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 2: your play actual rate is going up every single weekend. 28 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 2: What's got the forty percent last weekend is that something 29 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 2: you could say is kind of a pillar of how 30 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:44,960 Speaker 2: you want this offense to play now that you've got 31 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:46,480 Speaker 2: four games of film. 32 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 1: I think if you have control of the game, certainly 33 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 1: that allows for more of that. And so the more 34 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 1: control you have, the more you'd like to play like that. 35 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,880 Speaker 1: You know, so again when we're when we take care 36 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 1: of the ball and you stay ahead on the down 37 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 1: the distance. You know, we've cut back on the penalties 38 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,280 Speaker 1: since Miami, which has been a positive for us to 39 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 1: avoid longer yarded situations and having to try to come 40 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 1: from behind on the sticks. I think you open up 41 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,520 Speaker 1: a lot more of what you can do on first 42 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 1: and second down when you fall behind and it's first 43 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:24,960 Speaker 1: and twenty or second and seventeen and you're trying to 44 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 1: chop away and get it back to third and manageable. 45 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:31,640 Speaker 1: Sometimes those things are certainly not as successful. So hopefully 46 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 1: we can continue to play the way we've played without 47 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,960 Speaker 1: the penalties and take care of the football. And you know, 48 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 1: when you have control, I think, you know, basically your 49 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 1: whole plan is available to you. So makes it nice 50 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,240 Speaker 1: and simple in that regard. Yeah, what does it mean 51 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 1: to have a guy like on every roster, a guy 52 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,960 Speaker 1: who's been so consistent? So there's kind of so pulls 53 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 1: those guys are you know, irreplaceable? You know, because they 54 00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 1: not only do they show up every day with a 55 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 1: great mindset and ad to and show everybody else how 56 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:05,519 Speaker 1: to go about, you know, working at this level. Uh. 57 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:10,360 Speaker 1: But you know he's competitive, he's intelligent. Uh, he's a 58 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 1: great teammate. He's a really really good leader. He's a 59 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 1: great influence on everybody, starting with the guys in the 60 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 1: locker room. So very dependable. You can trust that he's 61 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 1: gonna know what to do and do it the way 62 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,800 Speaker 1: you ask him to do it. And he does a 63 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 1: lot of things well, you know, he's a really good 64 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:32,239 Speaker 1: football player. And I feel fortunate to having another opportunity 65 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:32,799 Speaker 1: to coach him. 66 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 3: John Sue, how is UH step Gig's versatility to move 67 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 3: around the formation helped you to best u utilize him 68 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 3: use him. 69 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 1: He's probably like a nine out of ten in terms 70 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 1: of UH understanding the the system and the scheme. You'll 71 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 1: probably got a little bit of juice left to squeeze 72 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 1: out of the orange. It's obviously it's important, you know. 73 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 1: And and I think he was being modest when he 74 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 1: said that. I heard that little comment. So, you know, 75 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 1: we ask our guys at the beginning of each year 76 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 1: to learn the system kind of as a whole. Don't 77 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:18,480 Speaker 1: just learn it from one position, because certainly through injuries 78 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 1: and you know, the duration of the season, you know, 79 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,839 Speaker 1: multiple different people will need to play different spots based 80 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,799 Speaker 1: on who's available and how we would like to play 81 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:29,920 Speaker 1: and so on and so forth. So I've always kind 82 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 1: of said, the more you can do in terms of 83 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 1: you know, knowing this spot, this spot and this spot, 84 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 1: the more it helps you and it helps the team, 85 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 1: you know. So he's worked really hard at that. He's 86 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,719 Speaker 1: worked really hard at that. Obviously he wasn't able to 87 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 1: practice in the spring in terms of out their full 88 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 1: speed and all the rest of that stuff. But once 89 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 1: he was cleared in training camp, every day, every rep 90 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 1: that he's taken has been valuable to him and he 91 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 1: deserves all the credit for that, you know, to learn 92 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 1: multiple spots and be able to line up and play. 93 00:04:57,920 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 1: And again he's not the only one. Remember every time 94 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,160 Speaker 1: he moves, so does somebody else. So I think our 95 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,279 Speaker 1: group as a whole has gotten to the point where 96 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 1: their their versatility allows us to move everybody. You know, 97 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 1: Mac moves, Pop moves, Kashawn moves, certainly, Steph moves, you know. 98 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 1: So Kyle Williams has learned them all. So the more 99 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 1: they know, the better it is for them and our 100 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:23,480 Speaker 1: offense side. 101 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 3: Do you like how he's progressed in the offense? 102 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 1: That's behar Yes, And I won't put a number on 103 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:37,480 Speaker 1: I know I said that. Yes, hasn't been target obviously 104 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 1: as much since we won. Is there anything that he 105 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:43,600 Speaker 1: could do to be targets? Get Kasha on? You know, 106 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 1: he does his job, you know, and I think it's unique. 107 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,159 Speaker 1: And I think he was our leading receiver in week one, 108 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,279 Speaker 1: and Remandra in week two, and hundred in week three 109 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,920 Speaker 1: and Digs in week four, And I think that's a 110 00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 1: sign of the quarterback trying to let's throw it to 111 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 1: who supposed to get it based on the coverage and 112 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:04,920 Speaker 1: how they're playing us and what the right matchup is. 113 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,840 Speaker 1: And I know, look, I know, these these guys all 114 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 1: do their job, and every skill player wants to have 115 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 1: the ball as much as they can to help the 116 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:16,039 Speaker 1: team first of all, and then certainly produce themselves, which 117 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 1: is great. They should want that. But he's had a 118 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,840 Speaker 1: great attitude. He's doing everything that we're asking him to do. 119 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 1: Sometimes coverage dictates where it goes where it doesn't go, 120 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,720 Speaker 1: But I have no doubt that opportunities will find all 121 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 1: those guys. 122 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,159 Speaker 2: Josh, I know there are a lot of factors here. Again, 123 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 2: and I've asked you about this before. Kanduty's big piece 124 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 2: And when McDermott was hired at seventeen, even Tom had 125 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 2: more picks than touchdowns against this defense. And that's continued 126 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 2: even after you left. What could change Sunday so the 127 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:48,280 Speaker 2: staff finally flips, you. 128 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 1: Know, we it's obviously, like I said, they deserve the 129 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,480 Speaker 1: credit for that, you know. And it's been a really 130 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 1: tough preparation every time we've competed against them, and you know, 131 00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:01,479 Speaker 1: I think that's just about our execution and you know, 132 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 1: understanding you know what they do, how they play, and uh, 133 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,280 Speaker 1: trying to to protect the ball. I mean, they've got 134 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 1: a s quite a street going on right now, uh 135 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 1: in that stadium of of playing games and forcing turnovers. 136 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 1: So that'll be a big key for us obviously, you know, 137 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 1: protecting the ball all always is uh important and uh 138 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 1: certainly in a division game on the road on Sunday night, 139 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 1: it'll be critical Tree does in terms of all over 140 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 1: the last week that does I think it was the 141 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 1: first early dame. I didn't receive her nearly ppect. Do 142 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 1: you have a conversation at the moment? Is that something 143 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,680 Speaker 1: you wait for afterwards? Like you just say, calm down, 144 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 1: what is the I guess what's the other plays there? Well? 145 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 1: I think, uh, you know, there's a lot of things 146 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 1: that could be discussed after any play. I mean, honestly, 147 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 1: the result of every play is a product of eleven 148 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 1: guys doing the right thing. Certainly the quarterback gets the 149 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 1: most attention when he doesn't necessarily do the right thing. 150 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 1: So we we talk about the result of each play, 151 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 1: you know, and go back to the process. What was it? 152 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 1: What did we read it right? You know, fundamentals, mechanics, 153 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 1: transfer in the pocket? Where were our eyes did they? 154 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 1: You know, false, rotate, whatever it is. So we try 155 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 1: to address it, you know, as soon as we can. 156 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 1: But look, there's no that we can't make one play 157 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 1: bigger than all the rest of them, you know. So 158 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 1: I'm just going to try to stick to the process 159 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,920 Speaker 1: of coaching each play individually and trying to get him 160 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 1: to improve. I think he's made a lot of improvement, 161 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 1: you know, each week we've been around him since he 162 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 1: you know, since he came back in April, and I 163 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 1: would expect that he continues to do that because of 164 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,320 Speaker 1: the way he works at it, you know. So address 165 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 1: that play no different than the good place, you know, 166 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 1: and some of the good plays we didn't do the 167 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 1: right thing either, but we kind of got away with something. 168 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:54,400 Speaker 1: But just try to teach and learn off of each one. Josh, 169 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,840 Speaker 1: who is if anything that surprised you go Drin Bay 170 00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:05,720 Speaker 1: in four weeks, man, not much, honestly, I think I 171 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,320 Speaker 1: said back in the spring, how excited it, you know, 172 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,440 Speaker 1: I was to have an opportunity to work with him 173 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 1: because of the type of character and human being that 174 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,960 Speaker 1: he had already presented himself to me to be you know, 175 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:20,320 Speaker 1: and I just I think, you know, it's it's great 176 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 1: to watch a young player work the way he works 177 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 1: and you know, digest information good or bad, and then 178 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,320 Speaker 1: try to make progress, you know, from it. And I 179 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,360 Speaker 1: think any good player that I've ever been around has 180 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,440 Speaker 1: followed that simple blueprint of you know, Tea kept taking 181 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,200 Speaker 1: each day for what it is, not making more of 182 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,720 Speaker 1: it or less of it than the next one. And 183 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 1: you know, he sticks to that plan. Mistakes don't get 184 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:47,440 Speaker 1: him down, doesn't get too high, you know when he 185 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,960 Speaker 1: makes a great play, which I think is a great 186 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 1: mindset for a young player to have too. So now 187 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 1: there's not a whole lot like I said that that 188 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 1: surprises me with the kid. I'm just excited to continue 189 00:09:58,040 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 1: to watch his development. 190 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 2: When it comes to discus, coverage is obviously so big 191 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 2: with this bill secondary specifically, what is it about looks 192 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 2: that if you start out as like single hot man 193 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 2: then become covered too? 194 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:09,720 Speaker 1: What makes those so challenging? One of the keys to 195 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:11,960 Speaker 1: beIN export those Yeah, I think you know, they do 196 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:13,720 Speaker 1: a really good job. They're all connected. Like I said 197 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:17,000 Speaker 1: at the very very beginning, They're very connected defensively. So 198 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:21,600 Speaker 1: you know, some teams, you know they disguised, but somebody 199 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,320 Speaker 1: lies and you can find them. You know, this team 200 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:28,319 Speaker 1: is very coordinated and so you know, when they show something, 201 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 1: they're all showing it, you know, and they might show 202 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:32,800 Speaker 1: you what they want you to think it is, and 203 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 1: then they try to do the best they can to 204 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,720 Speaker 1: you know, to you know, change that once the ball snapped. 205 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:40,880 Speaker 1: So we're gonna have to be very disciplined once the 206 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:44,080 Speaker 1: ball snapped, to make sure that we confirm whatever we 207 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 1: thought it was or confirmed that it changed, you know, 208 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 1: And there's gonna be a number of snaps on Sunday 209 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 1: night where whatever we looked at before the ball was 210 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:55,080 Speaker 1: in Drake's hands is gonna change once, you know, once 211 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:58,440 Speaker 1: we have so gonna take a lot of discipline from 212 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:02,080 Speaker 1: our group and you know it will be uh a 213 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,439 Speaker 1: fun part of the the chess match on Sunday night. 214 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:06,520 Speaker 1: Thanks jus Yep, thank you for using
