1
00:00:01,600 --> 00:00:05,320
Speaker 1: How are you good? Good? Mike Good.

2
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:12,600
Speaker 2: Still having trouble running the football. I was wondering in

3
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:18,080
Speaker 2: terms of Remandre, if maybe he's focusing a little too

4
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:19,120
Speaker 2: much on protecting.

5
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:21,960
Speaker 3: I think probably everybody is. I wouldn't say that it's

6
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 3: just Remandre. I think that, uh, that's something that probably

7
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 3: both backs that that played yesterday and they carried the

8
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:32,960
Speaker 3: ball yesterday probably are focused on.

9
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:36,880
Speaker 1: And you know, I think there's a balance there. We've

10
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:37,639
Speaker 1: talked about that.

11
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:42,160
Speaker 3: I know, when we don't turn it over, we've won

12
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 3: those three games, So there's there's certainly a balance there.

13
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 3: And we have to to give him a good plan,

14
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 3: and then we have to block and execute that block support,

15
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 3: and then we we have to we have to run

16
00:00:57,880 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 3: and make people miss and break tack.

17
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 1: So we'll we'll work hard at that.

18
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 3: But in the same sense, I'm proud of the improvements

19
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,679
Speaker 3: that we've made protecting our our quarterback and protecting Drake,

20
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 3: and we'll just have to continue to strike a good

21
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 3: balance there with running the football.

22
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: Mike says a video view in the locker room after

23
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,320
Speaker 1: the game. Why is it so important for you to

24
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: harp one to your players to join.

25
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 3: What they put a lot into it. You know, we

26
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 3: try to coach them throughout the week. We we coach them,

27
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,320
Speaker 3: you know, were we believe in some things, and we

28
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,679
Speaker 3: want to coach and practice our identity through the week

29
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 3: and in meetings and lock in and get the details

30
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 3: and things that we feel like are going to help

31
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 3: us win a football game. And then you know, they're

32
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 3: the ones that go out and perform and execute, and

33
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 3: I want them to embrace that. You know, we just

34
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 3: it's a tough league to win in and tough league

35
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 3: too to win consistently and on the road. And the

36
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 3: numbers and for the history will tell you that. You know,

37
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 3: this league is designed to be and used to be

38
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 3: an eight and eight league and now it's a nine

39
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 3: or eight or eight nine league.

40
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 1: And that's that's how the systems set up.

41
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 3: And so we have to do things through the course

42
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 3: of the game and the season that that that skewed

43
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 3: that and to move those numbers in our favor.

44
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: And I think that there's a good.

45
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 3: Balance that can be had from these guys still knowing

46
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 3: that they can they can play better, and they can

47
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 3: do some things. But you know, we hammered two footballs

48
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 3: out yesterday defensively and not that we weren't hammering before,

49
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 3: but a couple of them rolled out of bounds. A

50
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 3: couple of them didn't come out. Yesterday, they came out.

51
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,079
Speaker 3: You know, we were able to recover the one and

52
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 3: actually both of them. But you know, feel bad for

53
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 3: for Charles. I know he wanted to fumble, cause fumble

54
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:02,559
Speaker 3: there didn't end up challenging it just because of the

55
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 3: risk reward I felt that was involved. So you know,

56
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 3: there's good stuff and then you know, just want them

57
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 3: to be able to embrace that and then enjoy that

58
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,679
Speaker 3: and then understand that there's another challenge on the road

59
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 3: here this week again. Leave you offense scored its first

60
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 3: touchdown during a two minute situation last last night.

61
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:20,079
Speaker 1: I'm wondering, how have you.

62
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 3: Seen the group grow in those situations and what allowed

63
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 3: them to finally reached out minds? Uh, you know, I

64
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 3: mean we've had you know, we had the one at

65
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 3: the end of the Pittsburgh game. They might have gone

66
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 3: on to score against Vegas, but you know, opted for

67
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 3: the field goal, you know, to try to flip it,

68
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 3: so situationally, maybe that cause for you know, us not

69
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 3: scoring touchdowns. You know, we didn't convert the end of

70
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 3: the game against Pittsburgh. But to be able to possess

71
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 3: it there all the way through and really give our

72
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 3: guys the last touch. You know, that's it's been something

73
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 3: that's important, you know, when you get a good offense

74
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 3: on the other side, which there is every week, you know,

75
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 3: making sure that they don't get the ball back, and

76
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 3: you know, just being able to understand when they made pressure,

77
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 3: you know, when when we need to get out of bounds,

78
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 3: controlling the clock, really getting into that drive, that two

79
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 3: minute drive and you sacks kill two minutes and uh,

80
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 3: you know, so we were able to get the first

81
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 3: first down and I felt like that gave us a

82
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 3: flow and a rhythm to that you know, particular drive

83
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 3: there at the end of the half, Like what.

84
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 2: What advantages are you getting when you have this plane

85
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 2: to buy.

86
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: Giving this tree what you feel?

87
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:42,720
Speaker 3: You know, I think it just gives us a little

88
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 3: bit more flexibility to to be in different fronts and

89
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 3: to do, uh, you know, some different things and be

90
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 3: able to use everybody and you know, take some snaps

91
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 3: off of some other guys.

92
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: Coach which one of the passing Amarance calls on Diggs.

93
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 3: Drove me more crazy, No, don't know, I don't don't

94
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 3: drive me crazy. You know, we just have to be

95
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 3: able to deal with whatever situation is presented to us,

96
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 3: whether we agree with it or disagree with it.

97
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,239
Speaker 1: I've learned that it's not going to change.

98
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 3: So frustrated and disappointed for the players there that had

99
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 3: some really explosive gains taken away by by judgment, you know,

100
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 3: probably poor judgment.

101
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 1: But that's it's all part of it.

102
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 3: And so I like the resolve for us to know

103
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 3: ability for us to to play through some of those,

104
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 3: however difficult that it may be. I guess they took

105
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 3: a long time before you had the punt. When you did, Rice,

106
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 3: you know, your own ad and you back there gets

107
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:54,919
Speaker 3: off a good punt, kind of flips the field.

108
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:56,599
Speaker 1: The flip the field there, his.

109
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,600
Speaker 3: Performance and his leadership in that way too, which he

110
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 3: especially Yeah, I think, you know, just you look at

111
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 3: the operation on the field goal and being able to

112
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 3: calm everything down and be able to handle the the

113
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 3: snap and just the you know, good placement ball placement

114
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 3: for Andy, you know, I do. You know, Bryce's really

115
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 3: kind of helps out in all regards and special teams

116
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:25,039
Speaker 3: and it's done a nice job. Just you know, whether

117
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 3: that's helping on kickoff or turn or kickoff or you know,

118
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 3: just helping.

119
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 1: It practice right, some of the things that you guys

120
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 1: may or may not see. But it was good for him.

121
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,159
Speaker 3: He's you know, done a nice job for us and

122
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 3: hopefully we don't have to use him as much. But uh,

123
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 3: you know, certainly came off with a big kick there

124
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:44,839
Speaker 3: to be able to flip the field and you know,

125
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 3: the one we probably don't want down the middle of

126
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:51,359
Speaker 3: the field and he knows that so, but to be

127
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 3: able to flip the field in those situations are huge

128
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 3: and Bryce has done a nice job.

129
00:06:56,240 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 1: Nicole nine yards flipped from break to travel? Is that

130
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 1: a no?

131
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:01,839
Speaker 2: No?

132
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 1: Yes? Play?

133
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 2: Is that a balance being a playmaker and being safe?

134
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 1: Like, how do you how is a coach?

135
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 3: To your view, the decision there to pitch the ball

136
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 3: obviously successful that we get, you know, we put you know,

137
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 3: we have a lot of trust and faith and certainly

138
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 3: Drake and and anybody else that would have the football.

139
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 3: We have to be able to give them the liberty

140
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 3: to go play the game and understand and not put

141
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 3: it in in danger, but also try to try to

142
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 3: make some positive plays and some of those things that

143
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 3: go off script.

144
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 1: You see, you know, Drake able to run.

145
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 3: Down to the one yard line or scrambling out there

146
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 3: to the left and and throwing the ball and using

147
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,559
Speaker 3: the rules to to our advantage and you know, taking

148
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 3: it in completion as opposed to, uh, you know, a

149
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 3: hit or a sack like the running game. To kind

150
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 3: of get back to Karen's question earlier, do you think

151
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 3: you guys could benefit from from more variety in the

152
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 3: right I'm just thinking of those last few handoffs towards

153
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 3: the end of the game. You just seems sort of

154
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 3: direct run straight downhill. Yeah, man, I think that when

155
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 3: you talk about five minute, I mean you want to

156
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 3: be protective of pressures and things like that.

157
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of variety in our run game.

158
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 3: Throughout the season, and to look at one specific play

159
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 3: and one you know, specific situation probably isn't isn't fair.

160
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: But you know, you're free to do whatever you want.

161
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 3: I just you know, you want to make sure that

162
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 3: in those situations that you're trying to get the ball downhill,

163
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 3: you're not trying to run sideways and create a holding penalty.

164
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 3: You know that would stop the clock, lose yardage. All

165
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 3: those things in five minute now we're trying to be

166
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 3: good with but also gain a first down to to

167
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 3: win the game. So we'll keep working. We've had some

168
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 3: some you know, good runs, and we've had some had

169
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 3: some some pitiful ones too, and so we just have

170
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 3: to make sure that there's a consistency, you know, that

171
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 3: we're coaching the details, that we're coaching the demeanor and

172
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 3: understand that it's gonna gonna be some some dirty runs

173
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 3: in there, and that we're gonna have to make a

174
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 3: guy miss or break a tackle, things that we've done

175
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 3: throughout the season and be able to do all those

176
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 3: while taking care of.

177
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 1: Football and trying to move the line of scrimmage. So

178
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:18,679
Speaker 1: you know, probably would wished we probably.

179
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 3: Had some more production in a run game there at

180
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 3: the end, we got the one first down and then

181
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 3: we're able to throw for the second one.

182
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 1: It's Titan this week. What are your thoughts like going back.

183
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 3: There in natural I mean, just this is gonna be

184
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 3: probably a lot to be said about this, and I

185
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 3: think would file under the category of, you know, is

186
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 3: it interesting or important? And I would probably say this

187
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 3: would be very interesting, but in the end not very

188
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 3: important to our preparation or what we need to continue

189
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 3: to try to do to improve as a team. But

190
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 3: having spent you know, six years there or seven years there,

191
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 3: I mean it's.

192
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 1: You know, I think it'll be it'll be nice to

193
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 1: see some people.

194
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 3: That I haven't seen in a few years that helped

195
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 3: us win, players and staff, but uh, you know, we've

196
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 3: got a huge job here to do.

197
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 1: Uh as we prepare for him, you find.

198
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 2: Rush with Drake improved from week to week.

199
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 1: Which did you like about yesterday's damp the terms of

200
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: more we talked you know what I mean.

201
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 3: We talked about being able to recognize when the pocket

202
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 3: is still there and be able to climb and transfer

203
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,679
Speaker 3: into the pocket as opposed to you know, just extending

204
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 3: and cutting half the field, did that at times. Still

205
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 3: some things to work on and improve there, but I

206
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:42,319
Speaker 3: think that there is uh.

207
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 1: You know, there's a.

208
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 3: High level of confidence and the guys that he's throwing

209
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 3: to ball, placement, decision making, timing, all those things accuracy

210
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 3: that are critical. And so those are those are things

211
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 3: that we're continuing to see good not to post.

212
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 2: Camp notice that you break the team down. Now I'm

213
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 2: wondering if that's something he did Inte's head coach as well,

214
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 2: and then you were also here, but it was the

215
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 2: all yeah thing. Know is that sort of gone away too?

216
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 2: Is that discussing the captains or just kind that come up?

217
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 1: No, I don't think that that.

218
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 3: Sometimes I break them down sometimes I don't, you know,

219
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,199
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know if there's a real rhythm

220
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 3: to that or Cadence.

221
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 1: Don't really have a plan for it.

222
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:33,439
Speaker 3: And then I, you know, I just felt like that,

223
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:35,960
Speaker 3: you know, I've never even given any thought to the

224
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 3: to the all yeah, as much as we did it

225
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 3: as a player, and I think that's just a different team.

226
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 1: And yeah, now we don't really practice.

227
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 3: The the postgame celebrations and that's not something that we

228
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 3: have on a practice script. But I would like to

229
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 3: continue to celebrate wins any any way that they the

230
00:11:58,559 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 3: players want.

231
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:04,319
Speaker 1: I'm all for it. Appreciate it, guys, stay drop
