1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:04,320 Speaker 1: Afternoon on Marcus Mariota. I know you're as a coach 2 00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:07,200 Speaker 1: always talk about the player's ability to extend the play, 3 00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:09,920 Speaker 1: But with Mariota, it seemed like on those last two 4 00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:13,760 Speaker 1: touchdowns last night, he has ability to change the play 5 00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:16,639 Speaker 1: at a moment's notice. How do you coach against that, 6 00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:19,239 Speaker 1: I guess, or how do you prepare your players to 7 00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:24,799 Speaker 1: deal with something like that? Do you have that audibling? Well, no, 8 00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:29,080 Speaker 1: not audibling. Like the RPO to Dion Lewis, it starts 9 00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:31,240 Speaker 1: out as a run and he changed and he pulls 10 00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:33,159 Speaker 1: it out at the very last second, and I think 11 00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:36,000 Speaker 1: the defense then thought it he had Deon tackled and 12 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:40,360 Speaker 1: it turns out to be something else. Yeah, right, well, yes, 13 00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:46,560 Speaker 1: So those plays are they're they're difficult to defend because 14 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,280 Speaker 1: you literally have to defend the whole field. It goes 15 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:53,400 Speaker 1: the running play usually goes one way, and then on 16 00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:55,040 Speaker 1: the other side of the field is some kind of 17 00:00:55,040 --> 00:01:01,200 Speaker 1: a passing combination, either like a plant or a diagonal 18 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:04,160 Speaker 1: or a bubble screen or something you know that that 19 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,399 Speaker 1: attack the defense on the other side. So if you 20 00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,200 Speaker 1: have the over play one, they run the other on 21 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,920 Speaker 1: vice versus. So those are those are hard plays. To defend. 22 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,600 Speaker 1: It really comes to down to team defense. If you 23 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 1: guess at one and gets wrong, you're you're in trouble. 24 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 1: So everybody has to take care of their responsibility and 25 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:27,280 Speaker 1: defend the space that they're responsible for, and you have 26 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 1: to be disciplined or they'll or they'll get you on it. 27 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 1: So um. And some of those running plays also have 28 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 1: more than one opens the running back to get it 29 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 1: or the quarterback to keep it where there's another part 30 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,559 Speaker 1: of the passing play as an RPO or a bubble 31 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 1: screen if you will, that type of things. So yeah, 32 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 1: puts a lot of stress on the defense and really 33 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 1: everybody's at the point of attack on that. It's not 34 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 1: just where the ball appears to be going, but there's 35 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 1: another part of the play away from it that you 36 00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 1: have to defend. They do the same thing on the 37 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 1: um the stretch plays and the boots. If you you know, 38 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,360 Speaker 1: they run a lot of outside runs, uh, and then 39 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 1: if you chase the outside runs, then they come back 40 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 1: and boot the other way, and you know, get everybody 41 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 1: coming back across the grain or hit the defense if 42 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 1: they over pursue on the backside of those those boots. 43 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 1: So um, that's a big part of their offense is 44 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:27,520 Speaker 1: the balance that they have between attacking one area and 45 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,799 Speaker 1: then starting in that area, but actually attacking a different 46 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 1: area forcing the defense. As I said, cover the whole field. Great, 47 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 1: Thanks Hill, Yes you're welcome. Like next up is gonna 48 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 1: be William Bendetson followed by Ben Fullen. Go ahead, William 49 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 1: um Bill on the sack. Um, the big sack of 50 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 1: Rogers you had on the third and nine play in 51 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. You had Clayborne and Flowers on the 52 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 1: same side, and the attention that the attackle had to 53 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 1: get hours a lot Clayborn. There's a lot Clayborne to 54 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 1: sort of do a stunt and come around and pressure 55 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,799 Speaker 1: the quarterback and fires end up getting the half stacked too. 56 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,520 Speaker 1: That's the sort of combination that excites you of the 57 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,640 Speaker 1: rest of the season, having those two guys on the 58 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 1: same side of the line and the pressure that it 59 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 1: can develop. Um sure, I mean, I'm confidence in all 60 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:25,680 Speaker 1: of our rushers and we just we have to take 61 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:29,920 Speaker 1: advantage of the opportunities that we have. On that particular play, 62 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 1: the that you're referring to, the center went to the 63 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 1: other side, So on a four man rush, the center 64 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 1: goes one way, then that side three on two, the 65 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 1: other side two on two, and Clayborn and Um Flowers 66 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 1: were two on two there on the defensive right side 67 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 1: on lane in bactarium. There was a play earlier in 68 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 1: the game things in the second quarter when the center 69 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 1: slid the other way, he would have slid into them, 70 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 1: and Adam Butler had a spin move and came inside uh, 71 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 1: and so he was on the single side with um 72 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 1: wise and Rogers ended up flushing out of the pocket 73 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 1: and throw the ball away. But it was a similar 74 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 1: type of situation. So UM, I guess the answer the 75 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 1: question is, you know, um, yes, but you have to 76 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 1: have a balanced pass rush. And if they if they 77 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,719 Speaker 1: overload the protection on one side by bringing the center 78 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 1: or keeping a tight end in or putting the back 79 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,159 Speaker 1: end over there, or however they do it, Um, then 80 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 1: wherever you get the singles, that's you know that that's 81 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 1: really your best opportunity to win. And that's that's where 82 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,720 Speaker 1: you need to know. You need to do a good 83 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 1: job on the singles. So um, that's you know that, 84 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 1: that's really everybody's got to be got to do a 85 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,719 Speaker 1: good job. Everybody's got to be ready to win their matchup, 86 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 1: because with five blockers and essentially more with a tight 87 00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 1: end or back at least the chip or get in 88 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,039 Speaker 1: the way where they go out on the route, not 89 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,279 Speaker 1: everybody gets a clean shot. So the guys that do, 90 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 1: I don't have to. Those of the guys are counting 91 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,920 Speaker 1: on to win the one follow ups. If I may 92 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 1: just on an unrelated Sunday, it's rare that Sunday comes 93 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,279 Speaker 1: on a Veterans Day? Is this game at all special 94 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,160 Speaker 1: to you? Given the history with the Navy and anything 95 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,320 Speaker 1: special plan just that the fact that it's Veterans Day Sunday, 96 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 1: it doesn't usually fall on a Sunday. Obviously, is this 97 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,360 Speaker 1: game at all special, as I said, giving it it's 98 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 1: on Vectan's Day? Absolutely, yeah, absolutely, it's UM as they say, 99 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 1: you know, Veterans Day, Memorial Day. Those are the holidays 100 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:45,600 Speaker 1: and night all the other holidays possible. So without without 101 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 1: the sacrifices that UM people have made ahead of us 102 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 1: and the ones that are currently making them today for us, 103 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 1: there wouldn't you know, we wouldn't even be playing these games, 104 00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:01,360 Speaker 1: or haven't any holidays or anything else. So UM certainly 105 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:05,719 Speaker 1: recognizing those those men and women in Armed Services and 106 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 1: the sacrifices that they've made. Um are you know, we'll 107 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 1: we'll do that. We always do it. UM. The Soluti 108 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 1: Di service was a you know, was a great thing 109 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:22,160 Speaker 1: last weekend, and and then the veteran National Veterans Day 110 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,600 Speaker 1: holiday itself come this weekend. We'll certainly talk about that. 111 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 1: We have a veteran on our team, which is UM 112 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:34,840 Speaker 1: pretty special too, and I think everybody appreciates the sacrifice 113 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 1: is that Joe has made and continues to make part 114 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:42,719 Speaker 1: of the reserves. So any of us have family members, 115 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 1: um that have served or our serving throughout the organization. 116 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 1: So it's a very important day for me, for our 117 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 1: team and and really four country. Next up will be 118 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:03,040 Speaker 1: Benson followed by Nora Princati. Go ahead, Ben head Bill. UM, 119 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,360 Speaker 1: you know, Rob Gronkowski is a guy that when he plays, 120 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 1: he's playing almost every snap and he's out obviously a 121 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 1: big part of your offense. Can you just speak to 122 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 1: the job that Joshtan Gandel's and the offense is staff 123 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 1: have done. Just twice in the last three weeks, Gronk 124 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 1: has been kind of a game time decision, and so 125 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 1: it seems like you probably have to go have multiple 126 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 1: plans ready, How difficult is that for the coaching staff 127 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 1: to have one plan with Gronk one plan without Bronk. 128 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 1: I guess yeah, yeah, no, that's a great question then, 129 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 1: And it's Um, look, it's part of the game. I 130 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 1: mean there comes up pretty regularly at other positions. It 131 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 1: could come up in any position. Obviously with a position 132 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 1: like Robs, who's as you said, on the field a lot. 133 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 1: I think key part of the game plan. Uh, it's 134 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 1: it's a little bit harder, um, but I think it's 135 00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 1: you have number one, the Yeah, the coaches do a 136 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 1: good job of that, Josh and the staff do a 137 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 1: good job, but so the players because it affects the 138 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 1: players as well. There's if we change a play or 139 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 1: add a player, delete a play. They're the ones that 140 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 1: are that are really affected. It's relatively easy for a 141 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 1: coach to you know, look down on a sheet of 142 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 1: paper and call one play instead of another. Um, for 143 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 1: the players to be able to make those adjustments and 144 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 1: go to a new set of plays or go to 145 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 1: a different adjustment on a play because of the way 146 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 1: the players are position um availability. Um, that's you know, 147 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,560 Speaker 1: that's harder on the players. And there's some other effects 148 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 1: to without without Rob and as you said, Dwayne plays 149 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 1: more on offense to send Dwayne, you know, maybe playing 150 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 1: a little less in the kicking game, which the affects 151 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:52,200 Speaker 1: somebody UM that with playing his spot there and so forth. 152 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 1: So it UM again, you go through it every week. 153 00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:01,200 Speaker 1: Every team goes through it. But those adjustments are UM 154 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:04,080 Speaker 1: one of the challenges that you face every week. And 155 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 1: I would say, UM, you know every week there's usually 156 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,120 Speaker 1: I don't know, you know, it changes obviously, but there's 157 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 1: you know, more than you know, one or more guys 158 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,320 Speaker 1: that UM are really very close to game time decisions. 159 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 1: Maybe it comes down to Friday or Saturday or even 160 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,600 Speaker 1: the day of the game, as you know how they're feeling, 161 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,560 Speaker 1: what they'll be, what they'll be able to do, and 162 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:33,280 Speaker 1: how effective you think they'll they'll be. UM, And so 163 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:35,199 Speaker 1: you have to really be ready to go both ways 164 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 1: on those because they truly a lot of them are 165 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 1: fifty fifty calls until you finally have to make a call, 166 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,079 Speaker 1: and you give it as much time as you can 167 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:46,480 Speaker 1: to result. But finally you know at some point you 168 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 1: have to you have to make your active list and 169 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 1: go with it.
