5
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 1: we got We'll get started. We'll get started with the

6
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 1: first question from Jim McBride. Please, Hey jr Odd, I

7
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:32,159
Speaker 1: know you guys hate these questions, especially with with what's

8
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 1: facing you guys the next two weeks, but with the

9
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:37,519
Speaker 1: Broncos job being open um, you know, I know you

10
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 1: interviewed the last year. Is being a head coach still

11
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 1: something that's that's on your radar. I know you said

12
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 1: in the past that you'd like to do that, and

13
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:46,840
Speaker 1: so I just kind of wanted to get you on record. Yeah,

14
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: that's that's never changed. I think I'm ready to be

15
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 1: a head coach in the week. But you know, I

16
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 1: have to say this too. Right now, my focus is

17
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 1: on has been here Patriots, but that's definitely still a goal,

18
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 1: and and getting to the Dolphins, like what all the

19
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 1: unique challenges of of facing that that offense. Obviously they

20
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 1: have a lot of weapons and they've given you guys

21
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: some trouble in the last uh, you know, five meetings.

22
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 1: I think it is What is it about? Is it

23
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 1: the speed? Is it the variety of weapons? What is

24
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 1: it that that makes them so hard to defend it? Yeah,

25
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,679
Speaker 1: the Dolphins do a good job staying balance. You know,

26
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 1: they make everything look the same. It's very tough to

27
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 1: really get a beat on what they're trying to do,

28
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 1: you know, the building of formations, whether it's pre snap

29
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: or post snap, and they just they do a good

30
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: job finding a way to get the plus one. You know,

31
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:32,959
Speaker 1: we always thought about the plus one and extra player

32
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: over there. So um, and then that's that's not even

33
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 1: talking about just the athletes on the field, you know,

34
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,680
Speaker 1: the Waddles, the Hills, you know, all those guys just uh,

35
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: they bring a different dynamic to the game. So it's

36
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 1: a very tough challenge. Walls. Thanks Jute, Thanks you. Next

37
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: question Chris Ryan Adrod are you good? How are you

38
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: Chris awesome? Um? How do things change if that dramatically? Uh?

39
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: With not having the TA in there, that's the case,

40
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 1: and having Teddy Bridgewater in there? What does he put

41
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: on film? You know, the couple starts he's had this year. Yeah,

42
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: we'll see what happens with two. I would say, you know,

43
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: they're both very experienced quarterbacks at this point, especially playing

44
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: in this game. But once again, I would say it

45
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 1: doesn't change too much. You know, they still have weapons

46
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: all over the field. Still going to take a team

47
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: effort to really slow these guys down. So whoever's playing quarterback,

48
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 1: we'll be ready and hopefully we can go out there

49
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:29,920
Speaker 1: and perform at a high level. How do you go

50
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 1: about trying to counterbalance their speed where that's obviously a

51
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 1: big deal for them a wide receiver, bolsters swoopt good

52
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: at back as well. How do you counteract that? Yeah,

53
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: anytime you play teams that you know have that much

54
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: speed on the field, you try to, Yeah, try to

55
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: be physical with them, obviously that's one thing. And then

56
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 1: you know, we also have some fast guys on our

57
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: team as well, So it's just mixing things up, a

58
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 1: combination of different coverage as a combination of different fronts.

59
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,639
Speaker 1: That's always been our thing where game playing defense. So

60
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: we'll have to see what happens. Expeciate. Thanks Christ Next

61
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:07,239
Speaker 1: question Bob Stacy, Thanks Steph, Gerard, Steve just talked about

62
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 1: in formulating your game planning. I guess you can't vary

63
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,079
Speaker 1: too much from what you do best to try to imitate.

64
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: Is I understand what he was saying, you know what

65
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 1: another team did, Like if you look otut teams of

66
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 1: scheme Miami the last four weeks and what they've done

67
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: in particular against the Dolphins. How do you strike that

68
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,799
Speaker 1: balance when you're formulating a game plan between saying, hey,

69
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: you know the Chargers did this, but you know this

70
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,799
Speaker 1: is what we do best. If that makes sense, Yeah,

71
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: you know, we're really not into imitating. We're not a

72
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 1: copycat type of organization or a copycat type of scheme.

73
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 1: What we do is we just try to see, you know,

74
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: what are our strengths and then what are some of

75
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: the witnesses of on the other side of the ball,

76
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: and we try to exploit those as best as we can.

77
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: So with that being said, it's really not about what

78
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 1: other teams have done in the past. It's about what

79
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: do we think we're able to do. And then you know,

80
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: obviously every time you get into a game, they also

81
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 1: they're looking at us the same way, and so you

82
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 1: have to be able to adjust on the fly. And

83
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: that's why endgame adjustments are so critical for us. Right

84
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: in regarding Miami's running game, since you first played them

85
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 1: and the opener Edmonds is no longer there, They've added Wilson.

86
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 1: How if anything, does that change what they do with

87
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: the running game gets more like the Niners of the past. Yeah,

88
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,159
Speaker 1: I would say, you know what, most of you know,

89
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: we both those backs. Honestly, they do a great job.

90
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 1: You know, the blocking schemes are the blocking schemes. It's

91
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 1: very tough to to really get a beat on where

92
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:39,359
Speaker 1: they're want to go with the ball, and like I

93
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:43,160
Speaker 1: said earlier, the way they're able to just build formations

94
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 1: and post that, it's always going to be difficult to

95
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,720
Speaker 1: try to slow those guys down. So you know, it's

96
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 1: a one two punch, and you know, most of it

97
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,279
Speaker 1: obviously has a lot of speed to add for the

98
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 1: speed on the outside as well, so it's a huge

99
00:04:55,320 --> 00:05:00,559
Speaker 1: challenge force up front. I appreciate it. Thanks. Try next question,

100
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: Mark Daniels, Hey, Drdoball as well. I want to ask

101
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 1: people that Jamie Collins, I mean obviously played with him

102
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,840
Speaker 1: for the first three years of his career. How much

103
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 1: has he meant to the younger guys in your group,

104
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: and how much you know leadership as you've you've sorted,

105
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 1: how much how a leader? What type of leader have

106
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,720
Speaker 1: you seen him growing too? I appreciate the question. Mark

107
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 1: let me tell you Jamie. Uh. You know, when I

108
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:23,919
Speaker 1: first met Jamie, he was a very quiet guy. He

109
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 1: just was more like a sponge absorbing everything that um,

110
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 1: you know, we offered as far as advice, as far

111
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: as game planning and things like that. And now to

112
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: have Jamie back in the room, even though he's not

113
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: playing as much as he probably would like to, he's

114
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:41,039
Speaker 1: definitely been a huge leader amongst the guys, not only

115
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 1: in the linebacker room, but also amongst the defense. You know,

116
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: he's been here, he's been other places, so the experiences

117
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 1: that he has to offer, the advice that he has

118
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: to offer is definitely valued amongst the guys. Awesome. Thanks,

119
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: Thanks Martin, all right, thank you very much. Dared
