1
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:09,080
Speaker 1: It's another victory Monday here at the Cross Country Mortgage

2
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:12,200
Speaker 1: Campus as the Cleveland Browns beat their AFC North rival

3
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers thirteen to ten on Sunday. To recap what

4
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 1: happened to that emotional game in Cleveland, we're going to

5
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 1: hear from two players and from head coach Dafanski today

6
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 1: on from the podium. First up, it was head coach Kevinstavansky.

7
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 1: You gave us some big injury news on Rodney McCloud

8
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: and recapped what he saw from the big win over

9
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 1: the Steelers.

10
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 2: Okay, start injury front. Anthony Walker Junior has a hamstring

11
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 2: injury that'll.

12
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 3: Be week to week, so we'll work through that.

13
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 2: Rodney McLeod junior has a biceps injury that's going to

14
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 2: require surgery. So that will end his season unfortunately. And

15
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 2: I think you guys know how I feel about Rodney.

16
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 2: Unbelievable leader for this football team. Has played really well

17
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 2: for us. He's really a guy that I've gotten to

18
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 2: know over this year. And Go Schwartz had history with

19
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 2: Rod and a bunch of guys you know new Rod

20
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 2: prior to this season. But just watching that guy work,

21
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 2: watching him in the meeting room on the practice field

22
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 2: during the games. Just amazing teammate. So so that's you know,

23
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 2: I feel for him. He'll get fixed up and then

24
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 2: he'll be back out here helping his teammates. But really

25
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 2: feel for Rod in this situation on the game. You know,

26
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 2: obviously hard fault went and it was hard and then

27
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 2: it was hard fought. I mean it was a physical

28
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 2: It's AFC North football, so it's kind of how we

29
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:42,839
Speaker 2: expected it it would go. It wasn't always pretty things

30
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,040
Speaker 2: that we can certainly clean up and we will, but

31
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 2: really really proud of the fight in this group. And

32
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 2: then we'll turn our attention to Denver at the end

33
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 2: after these meetings this morning.

34
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 3: But with that, I'll take any questions.

35
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 4: Hi, he Kevin. You know, we know that you guys

36
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 4: went ahead and signed Joe Flacco to the practice squad,

37
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 4: So just kind of wondering what, you know, what you

38
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 4: see as his role and will dtr start for you

39
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 4: in Denver on Sunday.

40
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, Drian will start and Joe's roles to support this

41
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 2: team coming in here. You know, we were able to

42
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 2: add a guy with a ton of experience. He'll be

43
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 2: great for that room. He'll be great for this team.

44
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 5: Hey, Kevin, how did Joe look in that workout on Friday?

45
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 5: And just what do you think his value is? Kind

46
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 5: of like you talked about how important that fit was,

47
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:31,359
Speaker 5: so why do you think he's a good fit?

48
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 6: Yeah?

49
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:36,079
Speaker 3: And the workout looks good, kept himself in good shape. Yeah.

50
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:36,359
Speaker 6: Fit.

51
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 3: You know, as you know Scott.

52
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 2: That there's different guys have different skill sets and those

53
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,919
Speaker 2: type of things. But just a guy that has seen

54
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 2: a lot, has played in different systems, I feel like

55
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 2: he can bring value to that room.

56
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,359
Speaker 5: And then it's safety. Do you know if jan might

57
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 5: be able to get back this week because obviously you're

58
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 5: down Rodney.

59
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll know more later in the week.

60
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:01,639
Speaker 7: Okay, Well, turn under the game. Kevin only had one

61
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 7: penalty in that game. We're I mean, you've been middle

62
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 7: of the pack in penalties all year. So how do

63
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 7: you attribute what happened then?

64
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:10,399
Speaker 8: Yeah?

65
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 3: Or just more emphasis or what?

66
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 6: Yeah?

67
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 2: Well, first of all, I tell you the defense had

68
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 2: zero penalties coming off a game where we had a lot,

69
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 2: So I thought that was really well done by the

70
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,799
Speaker 2: coaches and players. And what we talk about when you're

71
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:25,959
Speaker 2: on offense at home, your operation should be great you

72
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 2: should have an elite operation, and I thought the guys

73
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 2: were locked in from that perspective. But we talk about

74
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 2: playing clean. We want to play clean on all three

75
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 2: sides of the ball, and clean is your technique, clean

76
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 2: is your hand placement, clean as your meant assignment on

77
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 2: a given play. So I just felt like our team

78
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 2: was playing clean throughout that game.

79
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 7: And how important was that to keep dtr out of

80
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 7: first in fifteen, second and fifteen and so on, especially

81
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 7: the offensive penalties. Your only penalty was on offense.

82
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 3: But yeah, and I don't know that we overcame it.

83
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 3: We went backwards.

84
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a tough place to be first in fifteen,

85
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 2: first and twenty. You can overcome them, certainly, and we have.

86
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 2: But you always want to, you know, play clean so

87
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 2: that you give yourself a chance to move the football.

88
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 9: Kevin on that defensive line obviously had two lesser experienced

89
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 9: tackles in there. How did you see them fair against

90
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 9: the Steelers yesterday?

91
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, as you know, Cam, that's a tough matchup with

92
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 2: their edge players that they have, And you know, I

93
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 2: think we had one sack in whatever it was forty

94
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 2: some attempts, and that one sack was really a coverage sack.

95
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 3: So I thought those guys did a great job.

96
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 2: I think the guys that were involved in the protection,

97
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 2: the chips on the edges did a nice job. And

98
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,479
Speaker 2: then you know, tried to play on time in the

99
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,600
Speaker 2: past game because that's a very very good pass.

100
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 9: Rush talked about Dorian as well and his performance yesterday,

101
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 9: But I wanted to ask you as the coach, seeing

102
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 9: that his teammates kind of come around and put their

103
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 9: hand on his shoulders, lift him up when maybe he

104
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 9: didn't have a great drive, and then afterwards to support

105
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 9: him in that final drive, what does that mean to

106
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 9: you to see that team come together around him like that.

107
00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, not surprised, Cam. That's who these guys are.

108
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:01,679
Speaker 2: You know, they they're pulling for each other, they're pushing

109
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 2: each other, they're fighting for each other.

110
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 3: That's what we do.

111
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 10: Yeah, Kevin, question about dtr when just you know, went

112
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 10: back and watching on film. You know a lot of

113
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 10: people look at the final numbers, but just how much

114
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,919
Speaker 10: better would his day have been without a couple of

115
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 10: the drop passes? And you know, after the game, Dave

116
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 10: Najoku specifically had mentioned himself that he felt his performance

117
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,600
Speaker 10: was unacceptable and he was going to hit the jugs

118
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,280
Speaker 10: gun and he did, and things like that.

119
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 5: Just what does that.

120
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,479
Speaker 10: Mean to you and and the team when you know

121
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 10: a player steps up and does take accountability when they

122
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 10: don't have a great afternoon.

123
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can confirm me hit the jugs machine because

124
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 2: he facetimed me from his house on the drugs machine.

125
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 3: Yeah.

126
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,359
Speaker 2: We have a ton of confidence in Dave. We're going

127
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,840
Speaker 2: to continue to throw the ball. He comes through for us.

128
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 2: You know, obviously he's hard on himself. That was a

129
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 2: pretty big eleven yard game there at the end. So

130
00:05:58,480 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 2: we're always going to go to Dave.

131
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 10: And then I think you guys have five wins now,

132
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 10: like in the last two minutes of football games. You're

133
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:11,599
Speaker 10: known for having a very steady, even keel h personality.

134
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 10: How much do you get the sense late in games

135
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 10: that that has rubbed off on this team? Uh, Because

136
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 10: it's easy when those you're in those tight situations as

137
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:26,279
Speaker 10: a player to get excited or lose focus and things

138
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 10: like that.

139
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,720
Speaker 2: I just think that's that's this football team. These guys

140
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 2: lock in when we have a job to do. We

141
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 2: have great situational awareness and we just focus on our job.

142
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 11: Hey, Kevin, what do you think was the the biggest

143
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 11: adjustment or whatever that that dtr I had to make

144
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 11: made yesterday to improve so much from that first game.

145
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,719
Speaker 2: You know, he played on time, he did his job.

146
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 2: You know, I thought he had a really good week

147
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 2: of practice. We talked about that with you guys. I

148
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 2: thought he prepared really well. Uh, but that's just part

149
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 2: of this thing. Got to got to continue to do

150
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 2: that week in and week out, and.

151
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 11: Then so what would be the next step for him

152
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,159
Speaker 11: to be even better than he was yesterday?

153
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 3: I don't know.

154
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 2: I think for us and him and our focus, Jeff

155
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 2: is whatever it takes to get that win. That was, Yes,

156
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 2: that was what we need to do yesterday. Got to

157
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 2: get another one this week.

158
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 12: Hey, Kevin, I know you touched on Rodney obviously, but

159
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 12: just the overall safety depth and you know, younger guys

160
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 12: liked Anthony Bell and Ronnie Hickman that are still here,

161
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 12: what kind of you know, opportunities they might have, and

162
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 12: especially Ronnie being the undrafted rookie, how he's handled you know,

163
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 12: when you guys have thrown him in there and spurt

164
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 12: so far.

165
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, we trust those guys actually that they've played for us.

166
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 2: They've come in in big moments and played for us,

167
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 2: so we'll see how it all shakes out.

168
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 3: But no different than any position.

169
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 2: We trust our backups that when they get in there,

170
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 2: they have their job to do.

171
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 13: Thank Kevin, you know, can you talk about the impact

172
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 13: Obo has had this season? And even you know yesterday,

173
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 13: I think beside the sack he had four tackles for us,

174
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 13: he's all over and then second Kunsik. You know you

175
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 13: said a while ago he was close and with Ray Anthony.

176
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 8: Can you talk about where he's at.

177
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, obviously he continues to rehab and then we'll see

178
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 2: where that shakes out.

179
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 3: This week, Obo played great. He was really really good.

180
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 2: Had the new Dad's strength going, I think, but made

181
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 2: plays in the run game.

182
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 3: In the past game, he was all over the field.

183
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 14: Hey, Kevin, what do you hope Dorian takes from this

184
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 14: experience of overcoming the adversity of an important game, that

185
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 14: rough third quarter and then overcoming that. Obviously you can

186
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 14: build his momentum and build his emotion, But what do

187
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 14: you think he can take from that that he can

188
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 14: apply in Denver and then just throughout the rest of

189
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 14: the season.

190
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 2: I think every young player, every young person. You know, coaches,

191
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 2: you name it. You learn from every opportunity, whether it's

192
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 2: in game, in practice, these are all reps for us.

193
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 3: To continue to improve. I think that's what this is

194
00:08:58,240 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 3: for him.

195
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 2: Everything is you know, that was getting the first one

196
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:03,319
Speaker 2: under the belt, and then it's onto the next one.

197
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, Kevin, with with Deshaun going to LA to have

198
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 4: his surgery and then it's my understanding that he's going

199
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 4: to be, you know, probably out there for a while rehabbing.

200
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 4: Can you maybe just talk about how, you know, Joe

201
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 4: Flacco might you know, be very helpful just in terms of,

202
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 4: you know, just that veteran presence in the room and

203
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 4: and sort of a little bit of a mentor to

204
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 4: dtr through some of these tough times that are about

205
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:29,719
Speaker 4: to hit.

206
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 6: Yeah.

207
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 2: I just think that's all of our guys, Mary Kay,

208
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 2: when it comes to being a great teammate, sharing wisdom

209
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 2: with your teammates, pushing your teammates, helping your teammates, that's

210
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,200
Speaker 2: kind of what we do. Obviously, Joe has a wealth

211
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 2: of experience, and I know our quarterbacks myself, everybody will

212
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 2: draw on that.

213
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 3: Thanks Jordan.

214
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 15: Hey, Kevin, I thought your footwork was better on your

215
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 15: second challenge throw.

216
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 3: Thanks you a quick clarification.

217
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 16: Where you're just unsure whether or not you could challenge

218
00:09:59,360 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 16: the safety.

219
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, there was a little yeah conversation with the officials,

220
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 2: I guess, and just the conversation wasn't clear on that moment. Obviously,

221
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 2: not sure if we would have or would not have

222
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 2: gotten that one, but it is what it is, and.

223
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 16: It's a turn. And back to Flacco for a second.

224
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 16: Had you guys cross paths at any point in your career?

225
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:24,719
Speaker 16: Do you know Joe at all?

226
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're just talking about it. He's a Jersey shore guy.

227
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 3: I'm a Jersey shore guy.

228
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:33,439
Speaker 2: We're like thirty blocks away from each other, but I

229
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 2: don't think we ever bumped into each other. No, But

230
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 2: you know, I know a lot of people who have

231
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 2: coached Joe, so we have a lot of mutual people

232
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 2: in this business.

233
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:46,079
Speaker 7: Okay, Kevin, not only have you won games with.

234
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 17: Three different quarterbacks this year, but each of them has

235
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 17: had a last second field goal drive to win the game.

236
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 17: And I don't know if it's your previous three years,

237
00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 17: those were just hard to come by for Maybe the

238
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 17: situations where't there is plentiful and maybe it's just one

239
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 17: of these years. But can you attribute anything coming through

240
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:11,079
Speaker 17: those three guys coming through at the end.

241
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I look at it as an offensive unit coming through.

242
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 2: It's never about one person. Obviously that quarterback is the

243
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 2: driver in those situations. But I just think those guys

244
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 2: understand what we're doing, as in terms of all eleven

245
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:28,559
Speaker 2: guys understand what we are doing and what we need

246
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 2: to do.

247
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:32,439
Speaker 5: Kevin, it looked like dtr maybe just a whole passing offense,

248
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 5: a struggling in the second half until that final drive.

249
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 5: Did you notice anything specific and how did you think

250
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 5: he handled it? He said he was kind of hard

251
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 5: on himself after the pick.

252
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, we obviously need to be better there

253
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 2: in that second half, that third quarter, need to come

254
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,559
Speaker 2: through on a couple of those. It's never one thing.

255
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 2: There's always a couple of things that we can do differently.

256
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 2: I can do differently, But as a quarterback, you can't

257
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 2: ride that roller coaster. You just got to stay true

258
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 2: to it, stay true to your read your feet, and

259
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 2: keep making great decisions.

260
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 5: And I'm just curious at the end, when you decided

261
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 5: to run the play and then spike it, is that

262
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 5: just to move the ball where you wanted for Dustin

263
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 5: or if you could have let it run down right.

264
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think every yard matters there.

265
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 2: Felt really comfortable with the amount of time left that

266
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:21,079
Speaker 2: we could do that. I think inside of sixteen maybe

267
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 2: you wouldn't do that, but felt confident. And it goes

268
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 2: back to Scott's shared situational awareness. Our guys know the situation,

269
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 2: they knew exactly what to do.

270
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:32,560
Speaker 9: Kevin, kind of what Tony was talking about. You guys

271
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 9: have won five games with a game winning score in

272
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 9: the last two minutes to run forward. Talked about it

273
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 9: after the game yesterday about how you guys emphasize those

274
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 9: two minute drills in practice so heavily. Has that been

275
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 9: something that you have just kind of instilled as your

276
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 9: philosophy knowing the importance, or have you kind of ramped

277
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 9: that up as this season has gone on and you've

278
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 9: been in those situations so many times.

279
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 3: No, we always do that.

280
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 2: Cam every week Friday we work our two minute drill.

281
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 2: We do it competitively our offense versus D defense. Again,

282
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 2: that's something we talk about on Friday morning. We watch

283
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,560
Speaker 2: a lot of tape together as a team about it.

284
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 2: When it comes to two minute drives and different things

285
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:10,719
Speaker 2: that happen around the league. So I just go back

286
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,559
Speaker 2: to I said all the time to the team shared

287
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,199
Speaker 2: situational awareness. It's not good enough for me to know

288
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 2: the situation. I need all of us. I need our

289
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 2: players to know. I need the coaches to know it.

290
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 2: Everybody has to understand what we're doing in those situations

291
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:24,319
Speaker 2: and why we're doing them.

292
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, Kevin, do you think that can you get Joe

293
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,679
Speaker 4: Flacco up to speed in time to possibly be your

294
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 4: number two in Denver? And will his vast experience maybe

295
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 4: perhaps accelerate the onboarding plan.

296
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, We're just going to continue to bring Joe along

297
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 2: like we do all of our players.

298
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 3: You know, it's really you look up and down our roster.

299
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 2: There's a lot of guys that got here after training

300
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 2: camp and you know, after the season started. So that's

301
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 2: what we do. He's going to meet extra with our

302
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 2: coaches and get him up to speed.

303
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,199
Speaker 1: The players went next in cornerback Greg knews him the

304
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 1: second was up first. He talked about the impact losing

305
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 1: Rodney McCleod junior for the season we'll have and how

306
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:02,960
Speaker 1: the secondary has been able to play so well this season.

307
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 5: Greg, I know after the game you said that a

308
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 5: Walk and Rodney are the two greatest leaders on the team.

309
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 5: So being without Rodney for the rest of the year

310
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 5: and Aywalk for a while, now, how do you guys

311
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 5: deal with that and find that leadership on the field.

312
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's a great question.

313
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 18: It really starts with the young guys like myself in

314
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 18: the room just observing and seeing how Rodney leads. And

315
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 18: it's not going to just be one person to you know,

316
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 18: feel his role is. It'll be impossible for somebody to

317
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 18: feel his role, but you know, as a collective group,

318
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 18: everybody has to, you know, find a way to chip

319
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 18: in and become.

320
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 6: Even more vocal leaders and leaders and everything like that.

321
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 18: So it's not going to be an easy task for sure,

322
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 18: But I think we got the right guys in the

323
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 18: building to to be able to fulfill.

324
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 5: And then after the game, I think Kenny Pickett said,

325
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 5: you guys played more zone than you'd shown earlier this season,

326
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 5: and it kind of surprised him. Why do think you

327
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 5: did that? And could you tell that they were confused

328
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 5: by the game plan?

329
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 8: Oh for sure.

330
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 18: Yeah, honestly, I just think we were able to get

331
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 18: them in a bunch of third and longer situations where

332
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 18: so I think the d line and the linebackers are

333
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 18: doing a great job of getting us in those.

334
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 6: Third and long situations.

335
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 18: And then obviously coach Schwartz is so good at showing

336
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 18: stuff and then getting out of it.

337
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 6: So our goal was.

338
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 18: Just to try to disguise as much as we can

339
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 18: and you know, and get them off.

340
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 9: His first read, Greg back to the injuries again. Obviously

341
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 9: the offense has has sustained a lot of injuries, they've

342
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 9: dealt with this kind of thing throughout the season. Is

343
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 9: that something that you guys as a defense can maybe

344
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 9: take lessons from to see how that side of the

345
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 9: ball was able to rally around those kinds of big

346
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,239
Speaker 9: losses Like Nick Chubb, Jack Conklin sean.

347
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, for sure.

348
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 18: It shows a resiliency not just from the offense but

349
00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 18: the team. I think when you're all together as one

350
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 18: kind of don't separate ourselves as offense and defense, we

351
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 18: just find a way. And we've we've seen we lost

352
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 18: a lot of great players this season, but I think

353
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 18: I think it just is a credit to what we

354
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 18: built in the offseason and it's just that brotherhood.

355
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 9: And after the game, some of the guys said it

356
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 9: wasn't a great game defensively, there was some explosive place

357
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 9: you guys wish you had back, but to be able to,

358
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 9: you know, get them to punt in four plays and

359
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 9: then the next drive go three and out and really

360
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 9: help set the team up for that game winning field goal.

361
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 9: What does that say about you guys as a defense

362
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 9: that you can bounce back so quickly in a game

363
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 9: like that.

364
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 18: Yeah, it just proves everything that that we're just trying

365
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 18: to show, and that's that we're the best defense in the.

366
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 6: In the league. And you know, you earned that.

367
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 18: You earn those stripes, not in the first quarter, not

368
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 18: in the second quarter, third quarter. You earned that in

369
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 18: the fourth quarter in big moments. So I think it

370
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 18: just shows the resiliency that we play with.

371
00:16:57,520 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 19: Great, you're the tweet last week just about you know,

372
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 19: jump off the bandwagon if you want, and you'll regret

373
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,440
Speaker 19: it to sort of the fan base there, And I'm

374
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:09,640
Speaker 19: just curious, like, you guys obviously play with this resounding

375
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 19: sense of belief, and you know, no matter what it's

376
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 19: been on display off season, you lose Nick Chubb, you

377
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 19: lose Deshaun, you lose Jack Kunk and all these guys

378
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 19: and you just keep finding ways to win. Like, how

379
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:23,680
Speaker 19: do we quantify something like that, Like when we're talking

380
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 19: about what that means and going into a game where

381
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 19: it seems like you guys are overmatched in this area

382
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 19: or that area, how does that just factor into you

383
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 19: guys being able to keep winning?

384
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 3: Then? How do we quantify it?

385
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:40,439
Speaker 6: Yeah? I just think it's just that next man up mentality.

386
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 18: Obviously losing Deshaun and Chubb, like they're irreplaceable, like Jack,

387
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 18: the guys that we've been losing heart irreplaceable. But it

388
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 18: never comes from just one person. It's a collective and

389
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,880
Speaker 18: I think you know, when you lose those key guys,

390
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:57,200
Speaker 18: you know it's going to be a collective of people

391
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,919
Speaker 18: that has to step in and replace that. Like losing

392
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 18: you know, it's not just one running back that's just

393
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 18: gonna go out there and do what Chubb was doing.

394
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 18: You see that we have a bunch of people that

395
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 18: are stepping in and making plays when they need to.

396
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 6: So yeah, it's definitely tough, but.

397
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:14,680
Speaker 18: You know, we never just put it on the shoulders

398
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,399
Speaker 18: of whoever's coming in to replace them. We kind of

399
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 18: try to help them out and it's a team effort.

400
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:23,159
Speaker 9: You guys have a road trip coming up, how do

401
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:28,880
Speaker 9: you enter that kind of West Coast out there time difference,

402
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 9: and then how do you maybe take some of the

403
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 9: energy that you were able to feel from the Dog

404
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 9: Pound playing at home as you go on to.

405
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:37,640
Speaker 8: That little stretch.

406
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:42,159
Speaker 18: Yeah, they always say it's so tough to win on

407
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,959
Speaker 18: the road, for sure in the NFL, But I know,

408
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,880
Speaker 18: definitely a lot of the Dog Pound will still be there.

409
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 18: They always find their way there. But it's just really

410
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:53,639
Speaker 18: sticking together, you know. Whoever you come go out there

411
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 18: and travel with, those are people that you're going to

412
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 18: rely on. So it's definitely harder to play on the

413
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:01,439
Speaker 18: road just because you don't have that energy from the.

414
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 6: Crowd on your side.

415
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 18: So it's just going to be guys out there on

416
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:08,119
Speaker 18: the field, like like me, trying to bring out some

417
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 18: energy and just keeping the guys up the whole time.

418
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 6: So it's definitely going to be more challenging showing a row.

419
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:19,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, Greg, just wondering can you maybe describe something that

420
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,440
Speaker 4: that Rodney helped you guys with because he knew Jim

421
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:27,439
Speaker 4: Schwartz's defense so well, how was he instrumental in helping

422
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 4: sort of implement the Jim Schwartz way. And then I

423
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 4: have another question after that, if you don't.

424
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:37,160
Speaker 18: Mind, Yeah, I really can't even just pick one thing

425
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:41,879
Speaker 18: like this, what this defense is about, and how we

426
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 18: are on the field, how resilient we are. It starts

427
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 18: with rod I mean just coming in telling us like

428
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 18: if we want to make it like we have to

429
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,680
Speaker 18: do these certain things. We got so much, so many

430
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,679
Speaker 18: things like in the dB room itself with you know,

431
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 18: we're putting up fines and stuff like if we're late

432
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:02,439
Speaker 18: to me or we drop a pick at practice. So

433
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:06,679
Speaker 18: just just everything that we're about on this defense is

434
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 18: Rodney mcleouds.

435
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:10,639
Speaker 6: So there's definitely not just one thing. I feel like.

436
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 18: It's the whole entire defense. Like he's put his he's

437
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:16,359
Speaker 18: put his stamp and on this team and on this

438
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:17,400
Speaker 18: defense for sure.

439
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 4: Thank you. And then the second question I had is, uh,

440
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 4: you guys are bringing Joe Flacco in and I know,

441
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:27,919
Speaker 4: you know, Deshaun's going to be leaving you guys for

442
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,360
Speaker 4: a while to go have his surgery and rehab, So

443
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 4: what you know, what will that what impact will it

444
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,880
Speaker 4: have on you guys to have another veteran presence not

445
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 4: just in the quarterback room.

446
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 18: But you know, on the team, it's amazing. It's only

447
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 18: going to help us get closer to our goals. I mean,

448
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 18: a guy that has been to Super Bowls, you know,

449
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,720
Speaker 18: won the Super Bowl. Like, it's always great to have

450
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 18: those guys in the building, especially you know where our

451
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 18: aspirations are for for the end of the season. Is

452
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 18: going to be good to just get his feedback on

453
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 18: certain things. And like I said, it's it's perfect that

454
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:04,399
Speaker 18: he's coming. He's coming at the right time, especially in

455
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 18: this stretch that we're about to go on, and you know,

456
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 18: so we're definitely gonna use him for sure to help

457
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:10,640
Speaker 18: us get there.

458
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:14,440
Speaker 5: Agree without Rodney and then coach said he didn't know

459
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:16,120
Speaker 5: if want to be able to get back this week.

460
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:19,479
Speaker 5: How do you feel about the depth of safety? What

461
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,880
Speaker 5: have you seen out of Ronnie in especially this year.

462
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, we're deep everywhere. That's the thing.

463
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:29,919
Speaker 18: I feel like we got the not just the best defense,

464
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:32,920
Speaker 18: but the best secondary in the NFL. And I've said

465
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 18: it before, I was more so speaking on the corners

466
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 18: just because we are the ones going down a lot.

467
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,640
Speaker 6: But that's that that room's deep.

468
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 18: You guys seen what you've seen in preseason, like, none

469
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:45,120
Speaker 18: of that is just you know, it's.

470
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:46,120
Speaker 6: Still NFL football.

471
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 18: So we got guys like Ronnie, we got guys that's

472
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 18: on practice squad, like Tanner. We got guys liked Anthony

473
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 18: Bell who are ready, they're they're young, they're hungry. Uh

474
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:58,640
Speaker 18: so we definitely trust them out there all the time too.

475
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:01,360
Speaker 18: You know, we won't lose a step there at all.

476
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 5: And then do you feel I guess it's a whole unit,

477
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 5: Like do you feel the pressure every week of living

478
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 5: up to that number one ranking that you guys have?

479
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 3: Not?

480
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:17,640
Speaker 18: Really, I feel like there's more so pressure. We put

481
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 18: pressure on ourselves just because we know what we're capable of.

482
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 18: But we're not even putting pressure just because we're the

483
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:26,919
Speaker 18: number one unit. Like obviously, if we just continue to

484
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 18: do what we do and you know, put those high

485
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 18: goals for ourselves as players, we're gonna we're gonna keep

486
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,640
Speaker 18: that number one ranking. So we're not really too worried

487
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:37,880
Speaker 18: about the number one ranking. We just kind of put

488
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 18: the pressure on ourselves just to go out there and

489
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:43,120
Speaker 18: perform because if we perform.

490
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:45,680
Speaker 6: At a high level, we'll win. We'll win football games.

491
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 1: It's a short day at the podium and to wrap

492
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 1: up this victory Monday was Guard waya teller who talked

493
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 1: about the fight he saw from DTR on Sunday and

494
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 1: how tackle Jeron Christian is filled in so while at

495
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 1: left tackle for Jed will.

496
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:02,160
Speaker 9: Right, what did you, if anything, say to to Dorian

497
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 9: in the game and then maybe right after that final

498
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 9: drive when he was able to get you guys down

499
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 9: the field for that game winning field goal.

500
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:10,920
Speaker 20: Yeah, no, after the game, I know he was emotional

501
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:12,880
Speaker 20: and I was just you know, I was proud of him.

502
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 20: You know, probably something like good job man, proudly man.

503
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:18,159
Speaker 20: You know, it's not at the end of the day.

504
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 20: We all got to be able to execute. We all

505
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:22,920
Speaker 20: got to be able to do our jobs. And DTR

506
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 20: did that.

507
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 9: What does it say about him to be able to

508
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:29,719
Speaker 9: come off that first start, come in here and kind

509
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 9: of hold that promise even though it wasn't perfect all

510
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 9: the time of that night and day difference.

511
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 20: Yeah, no, you know, he took care of the ball

512
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 20: obviously that one turnover, which was you know, off of

513
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 20: a dual election and stuff like that, but you know,

514
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 20: he played on time, He operated the offense like like

515
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:44,960
Speaker 20: he'd been there before, and you know, that's what that

516
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,639
Speaker 20: experience does. And obviously I wish his first start was

517
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 20: a little bit easier on him, but you know he

518
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 20: he showed up and played really hard and you know

519
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 20: he prepared the right way.

520
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 8: You know, he was he was a professional.

521
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:57,439
Speaker 12: Sorry about that.

522
00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:00,439
Speaker 4: Why why can you talk about the fact that you

523
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,680
Speaker 4: guys have brought a veteran on board, uh in Joe

524
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 4: Flacco and what you think that might mean to your

525
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:07,400
Speaker 4: team and to Dorian.

526
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 20: Yeah, no, I think that all the all the you know, experience,

527
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 20: the vet help is going to be you know, you know,

528
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 20: exponential for him.

529
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 8: You know, I feel like that's that's the hardest thing.

530
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 14: You know.

531
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 20: When I was a young player, you know, there was

532
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:25,679
Speaker 20: a lot of you know, growing pains when it came to,

533
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:29,400
Speaker 20: you know, how to be a pro all this sort

534
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 20: of stuff. Now, I will say dtr he gets it.

535
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:31,920
Speaker 20: He got a lot.

536
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:33,640
Speaker 8: He got it a lot earlier than I did.

537
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 20: You know, I got I feel like if I did

538
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 20: a little bit better job, probably wouldn't got traded. But

539
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 20: you know, maybe that was political, I don't know, But

540
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:42,160
Speaker 20: you know, I'm also thankful for that it brought me here.

541
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 20: But you know, it's just one of those things where

542
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:46,359
Speaker 20: you got to be able to, uh, you know, do

543
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 20: your job and uh do it at a high level.

544
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 20: And you know you have guys who who've done it

545
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 20: and Joe and.

546
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 8: Stuff like that. So you know, I'm excited.

547
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 15: Thanks Jordan. Hey, why you guys have overcome so much

548
00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 15: this year? You know, all the injuries starting three, qui, quarterbacks,

549
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:02,919
Speaker 15: et cetera. Can you just talk about kind of the

550
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 15: leadership that coach Stefanski has provided and how he's kind

551
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 15: of kept this whole thing together.

552
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 20: Yeah, I know, there's been a lot of injuries. You know,

553
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 20: it's kind of crazy when you think about it. You know,

554
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 20: watching Nick come out of the tunnel yesterday kind of

555
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:16,120
Speaker 20: got a little emotional too.

556
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 8: But but you.

557
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:18,199
Speaker 20: Know, it's just one of those things that you know,

558
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:21,920
Speaker 20: the NFL is, you know, one the turnover year to

559
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 20: year is crazy, but also you know the injuries you

560
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 20: go through every year. And you know, as much as

561
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 20: you know, I've had the same starting five for the

562
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 20: past you know, you know, obviously changing centers and stuff

563
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:37,159
Speaker 20: like that, but you know, the four core and you

564
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 20: know we've all had injuries, we've all been out, we've

565
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 20: all done uh, you know, we've all had to be

566
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:46,920
Speaker 20: able to, you know, play with guys that we haven't

567
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 20: been able to you know, spend years with, so we

568
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 20: all have to be able to handle it.

569
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 8: And it's just it's one of those things.

570
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 16: And in terms of the kind of the unique tackle

571
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 16: rotation yesterday, how different was that And do you think

572
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:01,200
Speaker 16: that's that's stable or you think it's just kind of

573
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:03,639
Speaker 16: a one off because of the injury situation with Dewan?

574
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:06,639
Speaker 20: Yeah, no, I mean it's amazing to be able to

575
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 20: go out there, it's a rookie and do that to

576
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 20: one of the elite pass rushers in the league and

577
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 20: in history right and especially right now, to go out

578
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 20: there and do that.

579
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 8: But you know, that's why we brought him in.

580
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 20: You know, we brought him in to be able to

581
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:23,640
Speaker 20: be you know, a physical monster out there to where

582
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:25,880
Speaker 20: you know, you can even grab his arm and it's

583
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 20: it's so long that it's gonna take three you know,

584
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 20: tries to get around. But you know, it's a talented

585
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 20: fun to be able to execute like that, even with

586
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:37,400
Speaker 20: the rotation, and you know Jaron att left tackle. It's

587
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 20: it's it's special and it shows you how, you know,

588
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:43,240
Speaker 20: good coaches but also how good the scheme is.

589
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 8: For us, and you know we're in a very offensive line. Friendly.

590
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:47,879
Speaker 20: We did pass the ball a little bit, but you know,

591
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:49,639
Speaker 20: like I said, Dorian was getting that ball out of

592
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 20: his hand and that's you know, a blessing us an

593
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:54,920
Speaker 20: offensive lineman, because it's not fun when you have to

594
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 20: block for eight seconds. I'll promise you that even if

595
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:00,399
Speaker 20: even if you guys say we're really good, it's it's

596
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:00,920
Speaker 20: still not.

597
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:03,719
Speaker 5: Fun any right. When you talk about that resilience, how

598
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:07,920
Speaker 5: much does Kevin's kind of even keel nature play into that.

599
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 5: And I know he's been preaching resilience all year long.

600
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 20: Yeah, No, I think that we are a resilient team.

601
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 20: But I also think we're resilient because our defense is

602
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 20: really good. You know, I've been on I've been on

603
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:20,879
Speaker 20: teams that you know, our defense fights fights fights, but

604
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 20: then it's just you know, you go three and out

605
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:25,680
Speaker 20: a handful of times, and you know they start getting tired.

606
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:27,880
Speaker 20: You know, even the best defense can get tired. And

607
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:30,399
Speaker 20: you know, we we got to be able to you know,

608
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 20: turn those three and outs to you know, first downs,

609
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:33,360
Speaker 20: a couple.

610
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:34,880
Speaker 8: First downs just to get them a little bit of breath.

611
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 20: And you know, even even though we weren't playing perfect,

612
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:42,399
Speaker 20: you know, yesterday, our defense came out and was playing,

613
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 20: you know, lights out to hold, to hold the teams

614
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 20: to what they've been doing to be winning.

615
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 8: On third down.

616
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:50,400
Speaker 20: I mean, sometimes it feels like we'll be like nineteen

617
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:52,680
Speaker 20: play drives to go score and we'll go on on

618
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 20: our defense will three and out and I'm like, what, oh,

619
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 20: go up? So you know, it's a it's a good

620
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:01,120
Speaker 20: problem to have. But you know, we play emplementary football,

621
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:03,120
Speaker 20: and that's because we have really good defense, really good

622
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 20: special teams and offense that does what he needs to

623
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 20: do as long as we hold onto that ball and

624
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:09,840
Speaker 20: we execute and we performed to the best of our ability.

625
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:13,119
Speaker 20: You know, I think that you know, the three corps

626
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 20: that we have is special.

627
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 8: All right.

628
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:17,639
Speaker 7: I was going to ask about the right tackle, but

629
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:20,159
Speaker 7: I'm going to switch gears since you've answered in the

630
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 7: left tackle. Why what is going on with jern Christian

631
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:26,879
Speaker 7: you look? Is he grading out as well as he

632
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 7: looks to the the rest of us?

633
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 6: Yeah?

634
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 20: No, I mean I have no idea Coach Callahan would

635
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 20: be a good request if you guys want to know,

636
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,399
Speaker 20: uh grades, because I'd like to know my No, he

637
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 20: tells us our grades, but usually it's like one on one,

638
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 20: and that's if.

639
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 8: You're really worried about it.

640
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 20: You can kind of tell how you played throughout, uh,

641
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 20: throughout meetings.

642
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 8: You know, coach doesn't sugarcoat much.

643
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 20: But Jared's been playing, he's been playing hard, He's been

644
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 20: doing a lot of good things.

645
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 8: You know, at the end of the day, you know,

646
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 8: to be able.

647
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 20: To pick up you know where he did and what

648
00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 20: he's been doing and learn the offense and that, and

649
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 20: that's short amount of time.

650
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 8: It just shows you how smart and talented Jared is.

651
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 20: You know, at the end of the day, you know,

652
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 20: it's not easy learning new plays, but a lot of

653
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 20: the league is you know, the same stuff. You know,

654
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 20: there's only so many six man pros and five man pros,

655
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 20: and you know what I mean, running the ball versus

656
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 20: this front. Even though it might be called something different,

657
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 20: it's it's basically along the same thing. So you know,

658
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 20: being able to pick all that up and it shows

659
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 20: you that he's a pro. And that's why you know,

660
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 20: with rookies it's hard because you're you're learning all that

661
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 20: playbook and for you know, vets coming in, it's usually

662
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,719
Speaker 20: a little bit easier because you know, you've learned all

663
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 20: those darkens.

664
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 8: You know, when I was a rookie, I didn't even

665
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 8: know what duo is.

666
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 20: And if you guys know what duo is, it's literally

667
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 20: just two double teams. It's not crazy, you know, mind

668
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 20: numbing stuff. It's just two double teams. And you know

669
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:52,479
Speaker 20: that was something I didn't even know from from college,

670
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 20: you know. So it's just, you know, something that as

671
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 20: you get into the league you start learning a lot,

672
00:29:56,520 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 20: and you know, it just shows you that he's able

673
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 20: to pick it up, and you know, that's awesome.

674
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 6: All right.

675
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 7: And I wanted to ask you about this fact that

676
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 7: not only have you guys won games with three quarterbacks,

677
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 7: each of them has conducted a final field goal drive

678
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:13,480
Speaker 7: in the clutch at the end of the game. And

679
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 7: you were on the team one. I don't remember three

680
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 7: of them in a single year for one quarterback. What's

681
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 7: going on there? Why do you think you guys are

682
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 7: executing so well no matter who's that quarterback in the

683
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 7: final minute.

684
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 20: Yeah, I know I'm happy that we are, but I'd

685
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 20: rather score forty seven points and I have to worry

686
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 20: about a two minute drive at the end of the

687
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:38,959
Speaker 20: game to go win a field goal. But that that

688
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 20: toughness that you know, stick tutiveness that our team has

689
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 20: and that our quarterbacks have.

690
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 8: You know, the route schemes, the running of the ball, and.

691
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:52,239
Speaker 20: No fear in coaches in play calling, and you know

692
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:54,440
Speaker 20: it could be third and three and we're going to

693
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 20: go for it, you know, depending on the I think

694
00:30:57,040 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 20: we had a fourth and one on our thirty five

695
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 20: and coaches not afraid because he trusts our guys. You know,

696
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 20: that's an honor one. But two, you know it's it's

697
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 20: it's special to to be on a team that you know,

698
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 20: no matter what what the score is, saying in the

699
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 20: fourth quarter that you know, we're gonna fight, and we're

700
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 20: gonna fight till the end until they whistle, until they

701
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 20: blow the whistle.

702
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 8: So you know, it's it's cool again.

703
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 20: I would rather win by forty points and not have

704
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 20: to worry about all these close games that you know,

705
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 20: I'm about to have a heart attack on the sideline.

706
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 8: I know you guys are too so.

707
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 20: But when getting putting those situations to be able to

708
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 20: execute the way we have, it says something about the

709
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 20: guys that we have on this team, that ab is

710
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:39,200
Speaker 20: brought on to this team, and that coaches coached.

711
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 11: Heyway, I want to ask you more about Dwan Jones.

712
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 11: He seems so lost as in that rookie mini camp.

713
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 11: So what have you done to help him grow as

714
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 11: much as he has since he had to take over

715
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 11: from Jet?

716
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 9: Yeah?

717
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 20: No, I think that, Uh, he's He's always been talented.

718
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 20: There's there's no doubt. But you know, coaches technique is

719
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 20: it's not easy. If if coaches technique was easy, then

720
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:05,600
Speaker 20: everybody would be doing it right. But along the league

721
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 20: you see a million different ways to do it because

722
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 20: you know, coach is so meticulous on his techniques and

723
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 20: what he watches, and it's always changing. So even what

724
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:16,320
Speaker 20: we were doing I think in preseasons, some stuff has

725
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 20: changed as we got throughout camp and stuff like that.

726
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 20: But you know, Dwan is working really hard. He's worrying

727
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 20: when John de Costa he's working with.

728
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 8: You know, all all the coaches.

729
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 20: That we you know, have uh to be able to

730
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 20: put the extra time in to you know, learn the plays,

731
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 20: learn the techniques, learn all that stuff because it's not easy.

732
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 20: You know, like I said, being being a vet, you

733
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 20: you kind of get an idea, all right, are you know,

734
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 20: are you a two hand guy?

735
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 8: One hand guy?

736
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 1: Like?

737
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 8: What what are you doing? Are you dropping your post?

738
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 6: Are you kicking out?

739
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 8: What?

740
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 20: What kind of you know sets do you have? And

741
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:48,280
Speaker 20: when you're a rookie you're learning all that. You know,

742
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 20: it's a lot, but once you kind of get it,

743
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 20: you start, you know, hammering the nail and you know,

744
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:56,480
Speaker 20: practicing and practicing and practicing, and then it becomes natural.

745
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 3: You know.

746
00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 20: Juan Castillo, an old offensive line coach, I had always

747
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 20: talked about, you know, when it came to his footworkers technique,

748
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 20: it was just over and over and over and over

749
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 20: and over.

750
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 8: Again until it becomes natural. And that's and you know,

751
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:10,880
Speaker 8: that's the same thing with coach Callahan. He just he

752
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:14,040
Speaker 8: doesn't say that he practices it, but you know.

753
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 20: He's one of those guys that, uh, you know, we're

754
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 20: going to go to practice and you know, it doesn't

755
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:21,720
Speaker 20: matter if it's Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, sometimes even on Saturdays.

756
00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:24,480
Speaker 20: We're sweating out there making sure that you know where,

757
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 20: we know where to go and.

758
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:26,600
