1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:02,440
Speaker 1: Uh, any injury updates out of last night.

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, we've been really meeting as a staff.

3
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:08,320
Speaker 3: I got to meet with with Ronnie and the medical

4
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:11,239
Speaker 3: people after our team meeting here.

5
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 2: Don't have a lot for you. I'll have more for

6
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:15,960
Speaker 2: you tomorrow.

7
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 4: Okay.

8
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:23,119
Speaker 1: Because it was such a theme of hard knocks, I

9
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 1: think you even asked Malik directly, how will you react

10
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 1: if you don't get touches early in the game.

11
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 4: How did you see him react to no targets?

12
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 1: How was his body language, his attitude on the sideline

13
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 1: after those three series with no touches.

14
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was good. Yeah, locked in, good mindset.

15
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 3: Okay, you hear me.

16
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 4: Have my zoom change is all hard to figure out.

17
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 1: Okay. You said postgame that having a variety of run

18
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 1: schemes is important to the play caller. Just curious that

19
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:16,960
Speaker 1: you can expound on why that is.

20
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 3: What you mean by that, Well, I mean I viewed

21
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 3: the run game a lot like the past game. So

22
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 3: in the past game, you have RPOs, you have three step,

23
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 3: you have movement, you have run action, you have very

24
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 3: very quick drop back, you have intermediate drop back, and

25
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,759
Speaker 3: sometimes you have deep drop back different levels of the field.

26
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 3: You try to attack, whether it's short, intermediate, high lows,

27
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 3: horizontal stretch, to try to attack the whole part of

28
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 3: the field in the passing game. I think that's important

29
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 3: to do in the run game as well. To have

30
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 3: a variety of schemes, you know, whether you're attacking the perimeter,

31
00:01:56,280 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 3: edge players, double teams inside, trying to create extra gaps

32
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 3: when you pull players, draws RPOs that you know can

33
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 3: go a couple of different ways, quarterback runs. You know,

34
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 3: there's a various techniques that offensive linemen use. But you're

35
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 3: you're either usually doubling team with somebody you know, whether

36
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 3: it's a zone or a gap scheme, or you're you're

37
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 3: singled up, or you you know, have some type of

38
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 3: poll concept with it. So to be able to attack

39
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 3: you know, the front or the fronts that you see

40
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 3: and keep people guessing, I think is important, just like

41
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:39,799
Speaker 3: it is in a past game. So how you tie

42
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 3: it together from one week to the next. You know,

43
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:44,519
Speaker 3: one week it might be this, the next week it

44
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 3: might be that, based on your preparation and the defenses

45
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 3: that you see how they play them. Some teams are

46
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 3: read and react teams. Some people are two gap teams.

47
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 3: Some people are fly up the field teams and just

48
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 3: try to create penetration in the backfield. So there's a

49
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 3: various amount of schemes that you try to attack them with,

50
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:07,799
Speaker 3: and I think if you're proficient in multiple things that

51
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 3: that helps you. So we've practiced a lot of them

52
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 3: since OTA's will continue to do that.

53
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 2: And then you just, you know, you figure out you

54
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 2: have those schemes.

55
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 3: Dan, and then you you know, you also have bread

56
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 3: and butter plays too, where you hang your hat on

57
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,919
Speaker 3: no matter who you play, you can fall back on

58
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 3: display whatever that play is. So again, it's just a

59
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 3: way to try to give your players, you know, an

60
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 3: opportunity to be aggressive, to keep defensive coordinators slash defensive

61
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 3: players second guests, you know, second guests in themselves. And

62
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 3: if you want to use motion, do you not want

63
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 3: to use motion?

64
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 2: Can you affect force by you know, shifting and moving

65
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 2: and things like that. So a lot goes into those decisions. Yep.

66
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 1: Hey, Brian, I know you said you didn't have an

67
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 1: injury update, but just with with Drew, I mean, do

68
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 1: you expect to have to bring in another quarterback.

69
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 3: For this week?

70
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 2: Don't don't know that?

71
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 3: Really, We've we've been we've been grinding here as a

72
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 3: staff with the evaluations just up just made it to this,

73
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 3: Uh pressure, I'm going to go back and we have

74
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,840
Speaker 3: a squad meeting at two, and then I'm gonna to

75
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 3: get with the doctors after all they go through the

76
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 3: question I had so potent, so potentially if if he

77
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 3: can't go.

78
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 2: There's a potential of that.

79
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 3: Okay.

80
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:36,600
Speaker 1: Question I had off of last night, really off the

81
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 1: whole week was, uh, I know you stressed this last

82
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: night was the toughness that you saw from the team,

83
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: the physicality.

84
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 4: How do you how do you coach that?

85
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 1: Is that? I mean, you have a lot of the

86
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 1: same players from last year. How are they How did

87
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 1: you get them to be more physical and more tougher?

88
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 2: Well, I think we have a lot of a lot

89
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 2: of changes. Each year is different different.

90
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 3: Players at different spots. We have players that have been here,

91
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:04,280
Speaker 3: we have different coaches. I would say we've put a

92
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 3: high premium on that. I think the draft class has

93
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:12,799
Speaker 3: a bunch of tough young players. But you're constantly reinforcing

94
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 3: things that you're looking for from your team, I would

95
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 3: say from a foundational aspect, and you know this is

96
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 3: a tough game. Yeah, I think you have to be

97
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,840
Speaker 3: mentally and physically tough. I think we've added a lot

98
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 3: of new pieces in our building that have.

99
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 2: Helped contribute to that.

100
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 3: Now where we go from here, we need to continue

101
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 3: to build on that. We need to continue to lean

102
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 3: on the physical aspect of our game. Starts in the trenches.

103
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,919
Speaker 3: But you know, there's some good examples yesterday, whether it

104
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 3: was in a kicking game, whether it was you know,

105
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 3: safety's coming down on force or taking on guards or receivers.

106
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 3: You know, Isaiah Hodgens really made a good block down

107
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,239
Speaker 3: there on Gray's run in the red zone.

108
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 2: Where he blew up a secondary players.

109
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 3: So you know, you're constantly reinforcing that element to your players,

110
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 3: which is something I think we all could have been

111
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 3: better with.

112
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:09,719
Speaker 2: And we're trying to do that. Yep, we'll jes.

113
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:28,160
Speaker 4: Go ahead.

114
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:32,479
Speaker 2: We're all in preseason.

115
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 4: But Brian, sorry about that before worries.

116
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 2: Uh we drew real quick.

117
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 4: Are you still of the belief that it's not gonna

118
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 4: be a.

119
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 3: Long term thing?

120
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 2: Yeah?

121
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,280
Speaker 3: Really, we we just got done meeting. I'm gonna meet

122
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 3: with with those guys after at two o'clock. I don't

123
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 3: know yet, We'll we'll find out. I know he was

124
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 3: sore last night. We'll go into this two o'clock meeting.

125
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 3: I'll get with with Ronnie and the doctors after that.

126
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 3: You know, it could it could be. It could be

127
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,280
Speaker 3: longer than a couple of days. But I don't want

128
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 3: to give you one answer and then it's not. I'm

129
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 3: gonna let me talk to.

130
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:09,160
Speaker 2: These these people.

131
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 3: Then I'll tell you guys tomorrow or whatever is the

132
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 3: next time we talk.

133
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 4: Uh And with their running backs, what did you see

134
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 4: from those three guys, I'm talking about the main three

135
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 4: guys that carried him on kin round, Tracy, Eric, Gray

136
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 4: and uh Turbo.

137
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought they were decisive. I thought there wasn't

138
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 3: a lot of stutter step in. I thought they were

139
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 3: hitting the hole with good vision. They ran in space.

140
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 3: You know, Gray had a nice catch there from from

141
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 3: Tommy wasn't perfect. It wasn't perfect, but there was there

142
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 3: most of the time. They were going forward. They ran hard,

143
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 3: they got their pads down. They did a nice job

144
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 3: for the first game.

145
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 4: How do you look at that spot behind Devin Obviously

146
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 4: he's you know, good majority first team snaf but just

147
00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 4: the really young grover behind him. Yeah, you know, how

148
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 4: do you look at that and what what goes into

149
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 4: your process of sorting that out of who you know,

150
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:08,119
Speaker 4: who's second, who's you know, who comes in third? Whatever.

151
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, you just let them. You let him play, and

152
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 3: that's what they need to do. We've talked about this.

153
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 3: I think I've have had a lot of questions on

154
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 3: that early on about you know, the youth of that room.

155
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 2: You know, you let them play.

156
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 3: I thought they did a good job in protections knowing

157
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 3: who to block. It wasn't overly complicated, but they did

158
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 3: stick their face in there and fit the window and.

159
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:31,040
