00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:08,280
Speaker 1: Welcome to this Tuesday edition of the From the Podium podcast.

2
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:10,800
Speaker 1: I'm Gabe Klea. Browns are off today and they'll be

3
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 1: back at the Cross Country Mortgage Campus tomorrow to begin

4
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 1: preparations for the Miami Dolphins this coming Sunday. On today's episode,

5
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:19,880
Speaker 1: you'll hear from head coach Kevin Stefanski, center Ethan Posk,

6
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 1: and linebacker Devin Bush. Start with head coach Kevin Stefanski.

7
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:24,919
Speaker 1: You assessed the play of his offense through six weeks

8
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:25,319
Speaker 1: of the season.

9
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 2: Nor really have any injury updates based on what we

10
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 2: talked about last night. Obviously, you know, watch the tape

11
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:34,480
Speaker 2: this morning and watch it now with the players and

12
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:37,159
Speaker 2: a ton of areas that we just need to be

13
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 2: better and and need to be better in all aspects offense, defense,

14
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:44,559
Speaker 2: special teams, players, coaches, you name it.

15
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:45,480
Speaker 3: We have to be better.

16
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,240
Speaker 2: That'll be our focus that so we'll focus on moving

17
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 2: forward so we can go play as a football team

18
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 2: and find a way to win and obviously got a

19
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 2: big one this week with Miami coming to town. That'll

20
00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 2: be our sole focus today is that I'll take any questions.

21
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 4: Hey, Kevin, does it feel like just nothing is coming easy?

22
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 5: On offense. You know what I mean?

23
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I do know what you mean. But we have

24
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 3: to do it, Scott.

25
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,320
Speaker 2: It's a matter of coaches putting guys in position to

26
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 2: make plays. Guys making plays when they're putting positions doing

27
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,919
Speaker 2: their job. Don't expect anything to come easy.

28
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,119
Speaker 3: That's not the name of the game in this sport.

29
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 3: But we'll just keep grinding on.

30
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 4: It and in search of fixing things or a spark.

31
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 4: You asked about play calling yesterday. Have you made a

32
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:34,040
Speaker 4: decision there?

33
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna keep calling plays, but I want to

34
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,040
Speaker 2: stress that this is uh. We have to get better

35
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 2: in so many areas, and that includes coaching, That includes

36
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 2: our how we teach our guys, how we put them

37
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 2: in different formations, the ways you run the ball, ways

38
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 2: you pass the ball, all the above.

39
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, Kevin, I mean arguab boy. In the first few

40
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 6: games he's played, quench On Judkins has been your best

41
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 6: threat on passing game as well as you know in

42
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 6: the running game. Obviously, can you explain why I only

43
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 6: touch the ball twelve times, especially none in the passing game.

44
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, obviously that game.

45
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 2: If you look at the fourth quarter, the number of

46
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 2: plays that we had in that game, being down three

47
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 2: scores precluded us from running it, you know, our normal

48
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 2: based down offense.

49
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 3: Fred, but he's obviously a key part of our offense.

50
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 6: And what about you know, first and goal on the

51
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 6: three their way, he didn't touch the ball, I mean,

52
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 6: is that? I mean, is there any reason for that?

53
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 2: No, we need to be better, whether we throw it

54
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 2: or pass it there in those situations, we have to

55
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 2: have to be better.

56
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 7: Yeah, Kevin, I know you said you didn't have any

57
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 7: injury updates per se specific, but but Jack and Cam

58
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 7: those are your where you two starting tackles. Do you

59
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:57,239
Speaker 7: feel confident that you might have one or both of them?

60
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 7: Or or is I mean, what sort of how do

61
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 7: you sort of approach it when there is sort of

62
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 7: that that much uncertainty about both those spots.

63
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, with both guys that are obviously dealing with different injuries,

64
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:10,639
Speaker 2: if you will.

65
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 5: So it's Monday.

66
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 2: I think we need to get through the next couple

67
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:17,519
Speaker 2: of days before we can really answer that. And it's

68
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 2: it's like anything else, there's uncertainty, but that's that's part

69
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:20,399
Speaker 2: of the game.

70
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 7: And another question about the penalties the last couple of

71
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 7: weeks have been what what what can you do during

72
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,920
Speaker 7: the course of the week. I mean to to alleviate

73
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 7: that to to I know you're not coaching penalties, but

74
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 7: at the same time, you know, how do you how

75
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 7: do you fix that that specific area.

76
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, we focus very hard on those avoidable penalties, which

77
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 2: are the pre snap penalties. Obviously we had an illegal

78
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 2: formation there in the game. We have to be better

79
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 2: in those areas, and then you have to play with

80
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 2: clean technique. That's that's always going to be a part

81
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 2: of this as well. Understanding that your your hand placement,

82
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 2: how you you know, how you do your job is

83
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 2: very important.

84
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 8: Okay, I know the score got out of hand in

85
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 8: the fourth quarter, but even in the first half, you

86
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 8: were throwing the ball much more than you were running

87
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 8: the ball. And given that was his second career started

88
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 8: in a place that's very difficult to play, would you

89
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 8: redo the game plan on second thought because it seemed

90
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:22,359
Speaker 8: like you were still in the game ninety three and

91
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 8: you were throwing a lot.

92
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 5: Yeah.

93
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 2: I would tell you every game is its own thing, Tony,

94
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 2: where you're trying to take advantage of the looks that

95
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 2: the defense is giving you. I don't think it's any

96
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 2: secret that Quinn Shawn's a big part of our offense,

97
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 2: will always be a big part of our offense. But

98
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:41,720
Speaker 2: so much of it is based on what's going on

99
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 2: in that particular game.

100
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 8: And it looked like Aaron Rodgers played a large part

101
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 8: of the game behind a sixth offensive lineman and you

102
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 8: did some of that. But do you think you just

103
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:58,720
Speaker 8: need to do more jumbo just to stabilize things on offense?

104
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 2: I think you know, we did a decent amount of

105
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 2: it yesterday, Tony. Again, I think it's based on sometimes

106
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 2: health and you know what the bodies are that you

107
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:10,239
Speaker 2: can use in those areas.

108
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 3: But that's a really game plan specific.

109
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 9: Yeah, Kevin, in a situation like this, of course, everybody's

110
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 9: going to look to the quarterback after you know, only

111
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 9: nine points are scored, and how the quarterback did can

112
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:27,719
Speaker 9: you just address and especially because of your situation with

113
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 9: Shador and so many people clamoring for him and wanting

114
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 9: to see him, do you have thoughts on how the

115
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 9: offensive problems are run much deeper right now than quarterback

116
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 9: and that switching out the quarterback might not solve what

117
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 9: you have going on here.

118
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think just the big focus for us, Mary

119
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 2: Kay is we have to be better in all areas, players, coaches,

120
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 2: you name it. Obviously, you know, Dylan is in his

121
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:57,799
Speaker 2: second start, some good things to build off of. He's learning,

122
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 2: just like all young players are learning for us right now,

123
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 2: and we'll continue to try to, you know, get him

124
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 2: to make those improvements that young players make and also

125
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:08,160
Speaker 2: play better around them.

126
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:08,840
Speaker 3: That's our focus.

127
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 10: Yeah, Kevin wanted to ask you about the downfield passing again,

128
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:18,599
Speaker 10: as far as you know explosive plays go, do you

129
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 10: feel like with two starts under Dylan's belt here, that

130
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 10: it's going to be easier for you or more comfortable

131
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:30,279
Speaker 10: for you to take some shots down the field and

132
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 10: try and open up this offense.

133
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 5: Well, I think certainly, Darryl.

134
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,479
Speaker 2: We have to find ways to be explosive on offense,

135
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,479
Speaker 2: and that can come via the run or the pass,

136
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 2: and you know, explosive pass can happen in a variety

137
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:48,159
Speaker 2: of different ways. But it really comes down to our

138
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 2: ability as an offense to you know, put those guys

139
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 2: in position, protect the quarterback and then when those opportunities come,

140
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 2: we've got to let it rip. But I think that

141
00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 2: can come in a variety of ways.

142
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 10: And then Mike Tomlin had some comments today landed on

143
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,600
Speaker 10: social media, in which he basically said he doesn't understand

144
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 10: why the Browns traded their opening day starter in Joe

145
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 10: Flacco to a division rival in the Bengals, and just

146
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 10: how surprised by that move going into the Steelers game,

147
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 10: he was, just you know, your thoughts on what he

148
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 10: had to say about that, and you know the fact

149
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 10: that he was so taken aback, just like you acknowledged

150
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 10: last week, you were a little surprised as well and

151
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 10: not anticipating that you guys would trade Joe this season.

152
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 11: Yeah, I don't have a comment on that, Daryl Kevin,

153
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 11: just for him coming in for a couple practices and everything.

154
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 11: How did you think Tyson Campbell did?

155
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, I thought he battled.

156
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 2: Obviously there's some place he wants back, but I thought,

157
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 2: you know, with the circumstances and him out there competing,

158
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 2: I thought there were some really good moments and things

159
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 2: that we will certainly clean up with him.

160
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 11: And then just in terms of you in the play calling,

161
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 11: what would be the decision or maybe the point where

162
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 11: you would decide to give it up.

163
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think for us the focus is on being

164
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 2: better as an offense. Joe and that goes into a

165
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 2: bunch of different areas, and I know I can be

166
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 2: better for this football team. I know I can certainly

167
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 2: be better for this offense. But our focus is on

168
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 2: making sure that we all do our part in getting

169
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 2: this thing going.

170
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 12: Evan, you know, in the past couple of weeks you

171
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 12: talked about how important your player's development is, especially at

172
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 12: the quarterback position, and you've also acknowledged that the issues

173
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 12: with the offense don't soly lie with the quarterback.

174
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 5: Now.

175
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 12: I know Joe has gone, so it's a bit of

176
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 12: a mow point, But what about this infrastructure in the

177
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 12: offense led you to believe that, you know, putting in

178
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,960
Speaker 12: a rookie quarterback will lead to success and you know

179
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 12: positive development and growth in that player.

180
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, we trust our guys, Daniel, that are out there

181
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 2: across the board.

182
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 3: We just have to all be better. That'll be our focus.

183
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,560
Speaker 13: Kevin, I know you're focused on cleaning those things up,

184
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 13: being better as a team. When you look at the

185
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 13: makeup of this team, of your coaching staff across the board,

186
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 13: what is it about this team that gives you the

187
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 13: confidence that you will be able to successfully clean things

188
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 13: up to be better each week?

189
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I believe in the people we have caim, I

190
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 2: believe in the coaches, I believe in the players.

191
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 3: I also believe we have a ton of room to improve.

192
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 2: Don't none of us love the where we are, your record,

193
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 2: all those things, But we own it.

194
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 3: We have to own it. We have to.

195
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 2: I can acknowledge that that don't feel good about it,

196
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 2: but that's that's who we are, and all we can

197
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 2: do is effect that moving forward. We can't really can't

198
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:49,959
Speaker 2: really worry about what's in the past.

199
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 13: Joel Atonio last night said that you know, he sees

200
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 13: when things are working, the potential, the vision. Quinch On

201
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 13: said that too, But Joel said, every game with the

202
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 13: offensive struggling, there's like ten to fifteen plays where there's

203
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 13: a miss block or penalty. Is that a shared belief

204
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 13: that those things can directly lead to what you're looking

205
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 13: to achieve?

206
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:18,680
Speaker 2: Obviously, you know the goal offensively is to contribute to

207
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 2: score points to help this football team. We got to

208
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 2: focus on all all the little things that go about that.

209
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 2: But it doesn't get too far away from just simply

210
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 2: doing your job, doing what's asked of you. And I'm

211
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:31,959
Speaker 2: talking to all of us players, coaches, you name it.

212
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 14: Yeah, sorry about that. Mike can't walked across my keyboard.

213
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:38,680
Speaker 5: I'm very believable, Jeff.

214
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 15: Yeah.

215
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 14: So, Kevin, my question is, after every one of these

216
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 14: you say, well, we have to fix it. How do

217
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:51,239
Speaker 14: you do that with so many inexperienced receivers after Jerry Judy.

218
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, I understand the question, Jeff, but I trust the

219
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 2: guys we have and when I say fix it, we

220
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:57,319
Speaker 2: just have.

221
00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 5: To perform better.

222
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 2: And that's that's how we teach it, how we coach it,

223
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 2: getting it out of our players throughout the week so

224
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 2: they feel confident doing it on Sunday. It's pretty simple.

225
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 2: We got to just do our job, play hard, play smart.

226
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 14: But do you see improvements? It doesn't look like it

227
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:19,839
Speaker 14: from the outside. There's things you see that you are progressing,

228
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 14: even though it might not show up on the scoreboard.

229
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, obviously we wanted to show up on the scoreboard.

230
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 2: That's where the true improvement will come. But we will

231
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 2: just focus on what we can control with all of

232
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,560
Speaker 2: our players, young or old, and that's making sure we

233
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,320
Speaker 2: utilize this week to find ways to improve.

234
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 9: Kevin, you always talk about the precision in the passing

235
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,079
Speaker 9: game and how vitally important that.

236
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 5: Is for you guys.

237
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 9: And I know it's a two way street between where

238
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 9: the receivers are on their routes and all those kinds

239
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 9: of things, But particularly as I was looking at red

240
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 9: zone passes and it just seemed like there were drops, tips, knockaways,

241
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:02,200
Speaker 9: dropped interceptions. It just seemed like the you know, once

242
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 9: you guys got around down into the red zone and

243
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 9: trying to throw into the goal line that I'm thinking

244
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 9: specifically of, like the wide one to Jerry Judy, is

245
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 9: that because Dylan was under so much dress in those

246
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:19,079
Speaker 9: types of situations or is he having an accuracy issue

247
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 9: per se, you know, in the red zone or you know,

248
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 9: end zone type of throws And if so, what can

249
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:26,959
Speaker 9: you do about that?

250
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 5: Yeah?

251
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 2: I think the red zone obviously, Mary Kay, you go

252
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 2: for three, you're making life hard on yourself and you

253
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 2: have to come away with touchdowns there Obviously ran out

254
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 2: of you know, ran out of time so to speak,

255
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 2: there on the at the end of the first half,

256
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:45,079
Speaker 2: so the ball had to be end zone or out

257
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:46,560
Speaker 2: of bounds. That limits you in what you can do,

258
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 2: of course, And then a couple of times down there

259
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 2: later in the third and fourth quarter we have to execute,

260
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 2: we have to do and that's I'm talking quarterback, running back, wide, receiver,

261
00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 2: you name it. We all have to be at our

262
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,679
Speaker 2: best in those moments when the field shrinks. We had

263
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 2: too many mistakes there that are going to hold you back.

264
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 2: And that's a little bit of what I mentioned before,

265
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 2: where we have to be better as coaches, we have

266
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 2: to be better as players so that we can make

267
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 2: sure we're all just doing our job in those moments.

268
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 9: So you feel like you saw enough from Dylan throughout

269
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 9: the football game that those things will be correctable for

270
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 9: him and that moving forward with him and just getting

271
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:28,319
Speaker 9: some of those things taken care of will do the trick.

272
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 3: Yeah.

273
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 2: Again, and you know, the quarterback position gets a lot

274
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 2: of scrutiny and we understand that, but we collective we

275
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 2: have to be better. There are things that we're doing

276
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 2: that that are good, things that we have to build

277
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 2: off of, and there's things that we have to get

278
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 2: better at.

279
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 3: But it's never going to be about one person.

280
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 4: Hey, Kevin, do you understand and how do you handle

281
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 4: the frustration of Miles and some of the other defensive

282
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 4: guys with the offense not supporting the defense.

283
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, we all share in the frustration Scott, when you

284
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,319
Speaker 2: don't come away with the results that you work really

285
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 2: hard for. That's that's obvious. It's the greatest team game

286
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 2: there is. We all need each other players, coaches, offense, defense,

287
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 2: special teams. We need each other to go perform it

288
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 2: and find a way to win. That's how it goes.

289
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 4: Has there been a conversation they're like, hang with us,

290
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 4: you know, try to stay up and you know, I

291
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 4: know that they know you're trying hard. But when Miles

292
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 4: expresses that frustration, it feels like it's getting him.

293
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, losing is not fun for anybody, Scott. I think

294
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 2: there's there's natural frustration that comes with that, and that's

295
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 2: us as a football team. We own it. We can't

296
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 2: hide from that. You have to acknowledge where we are.

297
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 2: Having said that, all that matters is what we do

298
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 2: moving forward.

299
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 8: Two questions about looking for the ball. Did Isaiah Bond

300
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 8: have an explanation as to what the heck was going

301
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 8: on at the goal line when the ball hit him

302
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 8: in the helmet?

303
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 5: Yeah?

304
00:14:56,600 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 2: Obviously miscommunication there and again that's our job to get

305
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 2: it cleaned up.

306
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 8: And Tyson Campbell also had a great coverage but not

307
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 8: looking at the ball. Is that obviously a coaching point

308
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 8: this week? But is that in his past in a

309
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 8: Scott and report?

310
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 3: Do you see that?

311
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 5: Yeah?

312
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 3: I think that's you know, obviously we're now getting Tyson.

313
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 3: We'll coach him up.

314
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 5: He's in great position.

315
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 2: Not it's a matter of making a couple of those plays,

316
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 2: but really pleased with with where he is and he

317
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 2: will only get better with Jim, with Brandon Lynch, with

318
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 2: our coaches as we get him playing in the scheme center.

319
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 1: Ethan Posk discussed blocking for Quinnjown Judkins.

320
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 13: Ethan Joel last night after the game said, there's you know,

321
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 13: with the struggles of the offense, there's like ten to

322
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 13: fifteen plays every game that's either like an unblocked assignment

323
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 13: or a penalty. Are you seeing that same thing? And

324
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 13: what are the ways in which you guys as an

325
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 13: offensive line, as an and as an offense can fix that.

326
00:15:58,040 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 5: Yeah. I wouldn't put a number on it.

327
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 16: I would just say the margin for air is so

328
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 16: slim that you know, we just gotta do better as

329
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 16: an offense, and uh, we gotta we just got to

330
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 16: execute better. And I think we just gotta we just

331
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 16: gotta do.

332
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 5: Better with that.

333
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 13: Does that start in practice? Like what does that look

334
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 13: like for you guys?

335
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it's just doing all the little things right.

336
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 16: I think it's doing like practice and meetings and everything.

337
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 16: I don't think it needs to be some big change

338
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 16: or something. I think we just gotta we just gotta

339
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 16: you know, Wednesday is going to be a new day,

340
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 16: and just come in and really just just be on it.

341
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 4: Hey, you think did uh did you feel like you

342
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 4: guys gave up on the run too soon yesterday? I

343
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 4: know you were struggling running, but it was still a

344
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 4: close game.

345
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 5: You know, I feel like we gotta do what we

346
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 5: gotta do to win.

347
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 16: In that two minute drive, we were moving the ball,

348
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 16: so we we gotta do whatever you gotta do to win.

349
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 4: Does it feel like it puts pressure on the running

350
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 4: unit to have success early so that coach sticks with it.

351
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 5: No, I think I don't think that.

352
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 16: I think, uh, you know, I think this is the NFL,

353
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:17,640
Speaker 16: and you know, you just got to run the ball

354
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 16: well if you want to be successful and own the clock,

355
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 16: and so we just got to do a better job.

356
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 14: Ethan, do you think that you guys are have more

357
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:31,400
Speaker 14: talent than the record shows, or does this record reflect

358
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 14: the overall talent on the team.

359
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 16: No, I think, uh yeah, so I think we have

360
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,919
Speaker 16: more talent. I think the team that plays the best wins,

361
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 16: not the team with the most talent wins. So I

362
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 16: think we just got to play better. We got to

363
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:49,639
Speaker 16: play together, and so I think the team that plays

364
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 16: the best on Sunday wins, And we just got to

365
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 16: do better. We gotta, we got to do better one

366
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 16: play at a time. Just focus on one play, don't

367
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 16: focus on six he just focus on that one play

368
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:02,879
Speaker 16: and then when that plays over, we got to focus

369
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 16: on that next play, and then that next play and

370
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 16: then that next play and just stack some good plays.

371
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:12,160
Speaker 9: Yeah, Ethan, are you guys seeing stacked boxes with Quinn

372
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 9: Sean right now? Because the passing game is kind of.

373
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 16: Struggling, I'd say we're just seeing normal, normal looks we

374
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,919
Speaker 16: expect to safety down, you know, and stuff like that.

375
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 5: So, uh, we just we just got to execute.

376
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 3: Better, Ethan.

377
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:32,160
Speaker 17: With with Dylan, obviously, yesterday he got hit I think

378
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 17: sixteen times. Just what did you guys as an offensive line,

379
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 17: you know, while you're kind of going through that, learn

380
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 17: about him, you know, standing back there and and still

381
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 17: sort of battling with you even though it was a

382
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 17: rougher day in that regard.

383
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's a tough kid. He's tough as nails. You know.

384
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 16: I think he's uh, you know, he's getting better every day,

385
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 16: and you know, I love playing with him. You can

386
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,919
Speaker 16: just tell, like he's he's a good person, he's a

387
00:18:57,920 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 16: good kid.

388
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 5: He's he puts some much into it.

389
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 16: And uh, I'm glad he's on my team and I'm

390
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 16: excited to see his growth.

391
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 7: Uh.

392
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 5: And like I said, we've got to do better as

393
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:09,360
Speaker 5: an offense.

394
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 17: And then, uh, Kevin didn't give us an update on

395
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 17: or didn't have an update on Cam or Jack for

396
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,399
Speaker 17: for this week. But just I know, you know, you

397
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 17: guys talk all the time about like next man up,

398
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 17: But I get that, But just how difficult is it,

399
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 17: like sort of processing week to week that these injuries

400
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 17: keep happening and it's a new, new, different tackles in

401
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:33,159
Speaker 17: there and get sort of building that continuity. And how

402
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 17: much has that kind of contributed you think to just

403
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:36,680
Speaker 17: some of the issues you guys have had.

404
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'd say there's no excuses and this is football.

405
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 16: Injuries happened so it's next man up, and uh, you know,

406
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:46,679
Speaker 16: it's just part of football, so we've got to have

407
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 16: the next man up mentality, and uh, you know, this

408
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 16: is football. People are going to get hurt and stuff

409
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,880
Speaker 16: like that, so, uh, you know, it's it's just football.

410
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,680
Speaker 4: Hey, Ethan, did you talk to Jack on the sideline?

411
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 4: It's the timing of the concussion seemed kind of different

412
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 4: because he was on the bench for a while before

413
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 4: he went to the tent, Like, did you notice something

414
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 4: going on with him?

415
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 16: No? But I also don't have that very much communication

416
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 16: with Jack at all. I'm mostly talking to coach on

417
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:19,199
Speaker 16: the sideline, or I'm talking to Wyatt and Joel. You know,

418
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:22,879
Speaker 16: tackles are kind of you know, Jack will communicate mostly

419
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:24,920
Speaker 16: with Wyatt and then a little bit with the tight

420
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 16: ends and everything, so.

421
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:30,160
Speaker 5: I don't really have that much communication with him.

422
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 9: Yeah, Ethan, David Njok who was in and out of

423
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:34,919
Speaker 9: that game, in and out of that game with a

424
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 9: couple of different injuries, and then finally he left in

425
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:42,400
Speaker 9: the fourth quarter and Dylan was sacked a few more

426
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,440
Speaker 9: times after that. So just wondering, you know, how important

427
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 9: is David to let's pick up in your blocking schemes

428
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:52,120
Speaker 9: and how tough is it is it when a guy

429
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:53,880
Speaker 9: like that also leaves the game.

430
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 16: Yeah, I would say David is an extremely important p

431
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 16: star offense, and I hate that he got injured. I

432
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 16: would just say having him out there, it does help.

433
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 16: It helps with the chips and stuff too. But he's

434
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 16: he's such a threatening the past game running routes and

435
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:15,399
Speaker 16: stuff that it helps Dylan. So you know, you know,

436
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:16,879
Speaker 16: I love playing with Dave. As soon as we can

437
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 16: get him back. I hope we get him back, and

438
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 16: I hope I don't know anything about his injuries. I

439
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:21,120
Speaker 16: hope it's not serious.

440
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 1: Finally, linebacker Devin Bush, who in Week six played against

441
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:26,639
Speaker 1: the team that drafted him tenth overall.

442
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 4: Den after the game yesterday, Miles, you know, express his

443
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 4: frustration with the fact that you guys are losing the

444
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:35,919
Speaker 4: same way right, playing pretty good defense in the offense

445
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 4: not scoring enough points. Where's your frustration level and how

446
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:41,199
Speaker 4: do you think you're handling that is a defense as

447
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 4: a whole.

448
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 18: Of course, losing is not fun in his league, But

449
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:48,920
Speaker 18: I'm not gonna forget the fact that you know, we

450
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:50,439
Speaker 18: still be in week seven.

451
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 15: We have a lot of football left Yeah, we.

452
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:57,360
Speaker 18: Have a rookie quarterback, and you know, I'm not gonna

453
00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 18: say he needs time to grow, but he's a rookie.

454
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,479
Speaker 15: You know, we all know who comes to that.

455
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:05,199
Speaker 18: We all gotta gotta you know, bring them along, be

456
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 18: there form support them in every way we can.

457
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 15: And we've got to keep playing ball.

458
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 5: And what did you.

459
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:13,879
Speaker 4: See from the run defense yesterday? I think the final

460
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 4: numbers were fine, but it felt like there were some

461
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:18,440
Speaker 4: nine and ten yeard runs mixed in there.

462
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:24,120
Speaker 18: Yeah, for sure, it was a couple five plus that

463
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:27,200
Speaker 18: we can do better. Of course, everything is not gonna

464
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 18: be perfect every Sunday, but in those type of games,

465
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 18: we need our best run defense, you know, to give

466
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 18: us a chance. Of course, like I said, having a

467
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 18: rookie quarterback, we got to be more aware and give

468
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:41,479
Speaker 18: ourselves the best chance with the best field position.

469
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:45,119
Speaker 13: Hey, Devin, I asked Ken fans cast a couple of

470
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 13: guys after the game yesterday too. But as you guys

471
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 13: look to clean things up and the focus is being

472
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 13: better next week, what is it about this team, about

473
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:57,879
Speaker 13: the makeup, about the coaching and the players that gives

474
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 13: you confidence that it's possible to get this done? To

475
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 13: achieve the goals that you have set in front of yourselves.

476
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:07,160
Speaker 15: We put the work in every day.

477
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:09,920
Speaker 18: I think we have a lot of belief in that

478
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 18: we hang our hands on that we cut the film on.

479
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:14,359
Speaker 18: We got guys that's planned as hard as they could,

480
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 18: whatever moment they are, whatever situation, and we got guys

481
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 18: coming in our plan. And you know that's a good

482
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,159
Speaker 18: sign when you when you in this situation because at

483
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 18: least you got guys you know they're gonna fight for it.

484
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 13: And when you guys are trying to clean things up,

485
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 13: I mean, does it simply start at practice in the

486
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 13: preparation that you guys do. Is it really truly just

487
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 13: executing on game day?

488
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:35,399
Speaker 3: Like?

489
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 13: Where where does that need to start in order both.

490
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 15: Results, both practice and the game.

491
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 9: Hey, Devin, just wondering, what did you see in Dylan

492
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 9: Gabriel yesterday? I know, you know you probably weren't able

493
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:53,399
Speaker 9: to watch everything, but did you see in him taking

494
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:55,920
Speaker 9: hit after hit and just getting back up and keep

495
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:56,919
Speaker 9: you know, keeping on.

496
00:23:58,200 --> 00:23:59,160
Speaker 15: I see the competitor.

497
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:03,880
Speaker 18: I've seen the guy facing his second start in the league,

498
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,920
Speaker 18: facing a really really really good pass rush, him getting

499
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 18: the great experience that he got this past Sunday against

500
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 18: a really good defense that I've been working together for

501
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 18: a while. You know, they probe himselves on past rush

502
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:18,439
Speaker 18: and that's exactly what I seen out there, and I've

503
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 18: seen Dylan handle it how you needed to handle it.

504
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,200
Speaker 18: Of course we need more answers. Of course, of course

505
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:25,159
Speaker 18: we need better answers. But I can say he's in

506
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 18: Guade's compete And.

507
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 9: Do you feel like that Steelers defense from obviously you

508
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:34,280
Speaker 9: know it well? Is that How tough must that be?

509
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 9: Not only for Dylan to have to go in there

510
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:39,920
Speaker 9: and try to start that game in his second start,

511
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 9: but just all the brookies that you guys.

512
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 18: Have, is that for young guys, Yeah, it's they first time,

513
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 18: it's they first time feeling it, it's they first time

514
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 18: seeing it. So there's nothing really in practice you can

515
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 18: replicate that. There's nothing really in the preseason, nothing replicate that.

516
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,159
Speaker 18: You know, you got Cam Herod and TJ. Watt and

517
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 18: Hot Smith and her Big and those type of guys.

518
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 18: These guys are real deal rushers, and uh, you know

519
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:07,120
Speaker 18: you're getting getting their best early and often because it is.

520
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 15: A divisional game.

521
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 18: So it's just it's just one of those situations to

522
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:11,919
Speaker 18: where it's like we got to keep growing, we got

523
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:13,359
Speaker 18: to keep learning, and of course we got a lot

524
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 18: of rookies playing for us, but it's their time to

525
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 18: grow and it's the time to get this experience that

526
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:17,200
Speaker 18: they need.

527
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 14: And Dyvin, how do you uh not get discouraged when

528
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 14: the defense plays so well but you don't get the

529
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 14: results on the scoreboard you want?

530
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 18: That's a challenge, you know, each week is a new challenge.

531
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 18: You know, we we we got a lot of people

532
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:36,200
Speaker 18: calling us the best defense, are one of the best defenses,

533
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,119
Speaker 18: and each challenge, each week, that's a new challenge to

534
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:38,439
Speaker 18: prove that.

535
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:42,360
Speaker 15: And you know, despite win or loss, you know when

536
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 15: we cut.

537
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:44,359
Speaker 18: On that film, you got to be able to present

538
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:45,719
Speaker 18: that we are one of the best devises.

539
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 15: So we got to prove that each and every week.

540
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 14: And then how does it is it difficult not to

541
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 14: have a fracture when the defense is playing well but

542
00:25:55,920 --> 00:26:01,359
Speaker 14: the offense is not producing which fracture as in and

543
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:05,200
Speaker 14: it's like us against them in the offense and defense

544
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 14: rather than yeah.

545
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:11,400
Speaker 18: It can it can look like that, It can feel

546
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 18: like that, but at the end of the day, you know,

547
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:18,680
Speaker 18: we play our best, they play their best, and we

548
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:20,919
Speaker 18: put it together, and I'm sure we like the result.

549
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 4: Hey, Devin, how do you combat when teams are getting

550
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,439
Speaker 4: the quarterbacks are getting the ball out of their hands

551
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 4: so fast? What can you do as a defense to

552
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:30,359
Speaker 4: combat that?

553
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 18: Not the situation? Mix some coverages, different coverages, different looks.

554
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:38,880
Speaker 18: Of course, of course Miles is going to get most

555
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,200
Speaker 18: of the attention. So if Miles is getting a bunch

556
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:43,120
Speaker 18: of attention, you know, then we got other guys that

557
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 18: that are that are capable of winning. But if the

558
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:49,440
Speaker 18: ball out so fast, it's our job, our second level defenders,

559
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:51,159
Speaker 18: our third level defenders, and get the ball in the

560
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:52,960
Speaker 18: ground so we can line up and uh, it won't

561
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 18: be so fast the next play.

562
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 4: And you played there? How physical was that game yesterday?

563
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:01,399
Speaker 4: And you know they're so many people from both teams

564
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 4: that left the game. And did it feel dirty at

565
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:04,640
Speaker 4: all out there?

566
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:05,439
Speaker 5: Yeah? I was.

567
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:08,920
Speaker 18: I was AFC North Football for sure, but all fell

568
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 18: clean to you, It all felt right, thanks.

569
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 9: Uh yeah, Devin, I was just wondering, I don't know

570
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 9: if you saw this or not yet that Mike Tomlin

571
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 9: kind of called out the Browns and questioned why they

572
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 9: would trade Joe Flacco to the Bengals and interdivision rival

573
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,359
Speaker 9: after he was the day one starter here. Mike Thomlins

574
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 9: said he was shocked and maybe Andrew Barry is smarter

575
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 9: than them and smarter than him. So my question is,

576
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 9: knowing Mike Tomland the way that you know Mike Tomlan,

577
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 9: is this sort of surprising to you that he would

578
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 9: say something like that?

579
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 15: Not really.

580
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 18: I mean, he's been in the FC North his whole career.

581
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:50,400
Speaker 18: He's made a living here, he has a home here

582
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:53,440
Speaker 18: in the FC North, So I'm sure when he's seen

583
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:55,640
Speaker 18: I trade, you know, inside the Sad Division, of course,

584
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:58,199
Speaker 18: you know it's gonna it's gonna put everybody on HOWLERD

585
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 18: because it's a you know, Indivision trade eight. But I

586
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:04,920
Speaker 18: mean that's a that's a call between the higher ups

587
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 18: and whatever whatever they got for.

588
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 15: I'm sure they liked it and they pulled the trigger.

589
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 1: So that'll do it for this episode of the From
