00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 1: season and Garrett was one of them. And he's he's

6
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 1: been out there in the middle of our offense and

7
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 1: helps coordinate everything that we do with the line of scrimmage.

8
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:39,840
Speaker 1: You know, he's brought a lot of experience and brought

9
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 1: a lot of knowledge and you know, so again has

10
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 1: really helped us and you know, we got hopefully a

11
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 1: lot of football left to play, and you know, it's

12
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 1: a great honor for him, you know, to be able

13
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 1: to represent our football team to you guys and in

14
00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 1: a positive way. So disappointed I didn't win that in

15
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:07,039
Speaker 1: my eight years here, Like how.

16
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 2: Important is this week for the for you as a

17
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 2: football team, but also on and off the field with

18
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 2: the players and their families and what they.

19
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 1: Go over to. It's just always a balance of you

20
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: know that we wage in these these holidays with Thanksgiving, Christmas,

21
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 1: New Years, trying to have a balance of getting the

22
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:33,839
Speaker 1: work done that we need, trying to focus on what's

23
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: important here at work and practice in and then and

24
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:39,960
Speaker 1: when that wraps up and we're done, and being able

25
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: to compartmentalize and go and be with family and the

26
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 1: people that come in and that have helped our players,

27
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: our coaches, and our staff get to where they are.

28
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: None of us did this on our own. There's a

29
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: lot of people that have helped us get here, made sacrifices,

30
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: and so anytime that we can have to spend with

31
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: them on important days, I'm all for it. But then

32
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: the most importantly is what we do on the field,

33
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 1: Like you said on Sunday's a lot of quick and

34
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: make an impact as it work, a lot of experience one.

35
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 1: I mean Craig Craig was in college for a while.

36
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 1: We joke about it, but you know he's that's he's

37
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: started and played a lot of games, a lot of football,

38
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: and but I think he's continued to learn and understand

39
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,519
Speaker 1: and develop and it's gotten better each day. And he's

40
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 1: been durable and available. And you know, the more that

41
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,239
Speaker 1: you're out there, the usually the better that you get.

42
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 3: What made him the game captain? That was the thought

43
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 3: process for we.

44
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: Know he wasn't he was You've been tracking these pretty

45
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 1: close to Mike and you've been on him. You know,

46
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: it was our first you know, we had gone through

47
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: most everybody, and you know there's other options, I think, obviously,

48
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,959
Speaker 1: but just trying to I thought it was the right

49
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 1: time with with Krag and you know the amount of

50
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: snap so that he's played for us and what he's done,

51
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: and just trying to continue to build the young players

52
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: on this roster, whether that's on the field or developmental

53
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: or a leadership role or whatever that may be. I

54
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: guess that was just the idea Roberts out last week.

55
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: Do you expect him to back to see all this

56
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: week in preparation? I don't unless we get a Christmas miracle,

57
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:32,799
Speaker 1: ten starts walking or something. Christianus Alas mentioned that very

58
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: early on you talked about winning the division.

59
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 2: Why was it important to express that, you know, to

60
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 2: put that out there early.

61
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: In your tenure. I think when just to make sure

62
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: that everybody understood what the expectations were, that there's a

63
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: lot of ways to win football games in this league,

64
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: and with a lot of different players and a lot

65
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: of different lineup and a lot of different schemes, and

66
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: however we need to do to win football games, but

67
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: that was going to be the goal and making sure

68
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: that they all understood that, making sure that they knew

69
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,479
Speaker 1: that this was the priority. And that's what we've tried

70
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:20,359
Speaker 1: to do. Now we haven't done it, you know, we

71
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: still have opportunities to do it, but just making sure

72
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,839
Speaker 1: I understood what the expectations were. He said, way you

73
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 1: take on through a float? Yeah, I mean again, we'll

74
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 1: take him off the field and then somebody else will.

75
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 1: You know, Well, this guy's not getting that, you know,

76
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: I mean we we only got one football so we'll

77
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:44,280
Speaker 1: try to know. But he is prepared. It was unfortunate

78
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 1: his first week that he busted his tail to get

79
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: in there on that Thursday night game and we handed

80
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 1: to him huge run, questionable holding call. And you know,

81
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: he had some other plays in that first game. And

82
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: I actually joked with him, actually, I said, hopefully, I

83
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 1: you know, if you get in there, we rip a

84
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:03,280
Speaker 1: couple of runs off there, you make a couple of

85
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: plays that they don't get called back. And you know,

86
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: he was laughing. But he's done nothing but come in

87
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:11,280
Speaker 1: and be a professional and learn and be ready to go.

88
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 1: And I know that when his opportunity comes he'll take

89
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 1: advantage of it.

90
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 3: Coach, talk about fair Mumford and the job he's done

91
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 3: in your six O line packages coming in. You've been

92
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 3: doing a lot more of that this season, going with

93
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 3: that twenty two rhinal stuff.

94
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 1: Just talk about him and what he's brought to the team.

95
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: Hear that, Sophie about scared me up there yet you

96
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 1: hear that. I got to get you to get that

97
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 1: tenor there you go, there you go, don't do that.

98
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 1: I saw a different theyre, I think than the one

99
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: that left here and again haven't spent time in another team.

100
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: Came here and I think it was okay, and then

101
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 1: getting claimed by Cleveland coming back. I think we all,

102
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 1: including Fayer, saw a different version of him, one that

103
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 1: was much more prepared, ready to go physically and has

104
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:19,039
Speaker 1: done that role before. It's helped us hopefully and you

105
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,159
Speaker 1: know go whether and play tackle or both spots on

106
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: the offensive line. So uh, I think we've just seen

107
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 1: a different version of they are, and I think he's

108
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 1: trying to take advantage of his opportunities.

109
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 3: What stands out Chick from the Jets play style and

110
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 3: where they'll.

111
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:36,839
Speaker 1: Challenge well up front. I really enjoy watching their offensive line.

112
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 1: I think it's a it's a good group. It's a

113
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: very young and talented group. On the outside, it's a

114
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 1: I love the play demeanor of the guys inside with

115
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 1: Myers and tipt In and Simpson and they they come

116
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 1: off the ball. They they're good in their combinations. So

117
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 1: they really allow you know, most of their runners but

118
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 1: mostly brief to you know, get going. There's not a

119
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 1: whole lot of first contact, and he's able to you know,

120
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 1: the average is over four point two yards of carry.

121
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: So I think that you know, I like that group,

122
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 1: just you know, they moved this last time they ran

123
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: a football against us. The recipe for winning is not

124
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 1: going to be to run for sixty five yards and

125
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 1: give up one hundred and forty yards on the on

126
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 1: the ground. I I've told the team that multiple times.

127
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 1: So athletic defense young, playing some young guys obviously with

128
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: McDonald and him continuing to get better and his length

129
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: and Jermaine Johnson and you know Briggs and then obviously

130
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 1: Phillips is the studying case. And their linebackers are fast.

131
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 1: They run their fourth tackled for lost percentage. So if

132
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 1: you don't come off on them or you know, you

133
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: don't you don't get somebody up to him, they're going

134
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 1: to make the tackle and they're gonna going to be

135
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: there in a hurry. So you know, we'll have to

136
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: we'll have to do a great job of trying to

137
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: get somebody on those linebackers. I know he's had a

138
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 1: or he had it.

139
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 2: Up and now start to the regular season both phebe

140
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 2: but impressed you the most about being the way he's

141
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 2: kind of settled the job people.

142
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 1: I just done a nice job. He's you know, and accurate.

143
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 1: I think that he's kept a good demeanor. I think

144
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: he's practiced well as far as just mentally and then

145
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: talking about the weather and then you know, finding you know,

146
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: whatever that is. You know, Tom's coach kickers and all

147
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:37,199
Speaker 1: different climates, but I haven't and I said, so whatever

148
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 1: the plan is to prepare to kick in the weather

149
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 1: and all these different things that he's trying to do

150
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 1: or has done, and you know, I just think he's

151
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 1: got a pretty steadying demeanor and has work to improve

152
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 1: in the consistency, you know, with his approach and all

153
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 1: those other things.

154
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 2: Michael Land was saying that he maybe enjoy a Blitz

155
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 2: pick up in the series before the final series more

156
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 2: than the twenty one yard touchdown run, as that made

157
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 2: you feel as a coach when you hear the running

158
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 2: backs talking like.

159
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 1: That, well, they have a critical job. And I you know, anybody,

160
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: not anybody, but most players in the league, if you

161
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 1: hand it off and there's a hole, they're going to score.

162
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 1: But very few can one handle the mental challenge of

163
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 1: what the protection is and what the scan is. And

164
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 1: you know, I've got will to weak safety or I've

165
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 1: got you know, whoever you have, and being able to

166
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 1: some of these presentations that the defenses present. You know,

167
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 1: you may be up in the line of scrimmage and

168
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: have to get back out and be able to block

169
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 1: somebody and then physically being able to do it and

170
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 1: stand up to them and block them and stop their

171
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 1: charge and not drop your head and all these different things.

172
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 1: And so I think that that is a something that

173
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 1: he does very well. And again, when your best players

174
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:01,439
Speaker 1: the quarterback, it's important that you protect them. So I

175
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 1: appreciate that, but I don't that doesn't surprise me. Come on,

176
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:13,679
Speaker 1: you just got right, you come on, kickoff, come onicle.

177
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 2: A couple of.

178
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 1: Coaches and quarterbacks have weighed in on the merits of

179
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 1: pure progression passing against coupverage reads sort of where do

180
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 1: you throw to the guy that's open in the progression

181
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 1: and where that progression takes you the first one that

182
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 1: you see that usually leads to positive yards. It limits

183
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,719
Speaker 1: negative plays. Obviously, there's times where we're gonna have to

184
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 1: hold the ball, move guys down the field and progress.

185
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 1: So I try to keep it as simple as possible,

186
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 1: maybe because I think that holding the ball in this

187
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:54,199
Speaker 1: league just leads to to turnovers, to sacks, to longer yardage,

188
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 1: and the more that the quarterback gets hit, the more

189
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 1: negative things have a chance to happen. Turnovers, you know,

190
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 1: all the other obvious things. Sorry that all the kickoff

191
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 1: returns for the Jets, and they get people when you

192
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 1: get kickoff turn average is what are you seeing from

193
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 1: them on that great scheme? Excellent players, very good returners.

194
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 1: We'll have to cover with a purpose this week. And

195
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 1: you know, obviously you know one running a running back

196
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 1: that really runs through arm, tackles and has a good job.

197
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 1: He's done a great job of doing that. Mitchell. Obviously

198
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 1: he's great punt returner, but those skills have translated over

199
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 1: to the kickoff return so as much as they kick

200
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 1: away from you know, the nay that they now Mitchell's

201
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:48,439
Speaker 1: get a lot of those or Williams is getting a

202
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,680
Speaker 1: lot of those, So we'll have to make sure that

203
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 1: we're good that the space is limited and again one

204
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 1: guy is probably not going to be able to do

205
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:01,440
Speaker 1: it and get him down. And that's been Special teams

206
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 1: have been a very very strong point for these guys.

207
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 1: Fake the punt, you know, the kickout. The putt returns

208
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 1: has been a weapon. You know, fourteen yard average, yeah,

209
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 1: two touchdowns, one called back. So this is these are

210
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: making sure that we're matching everything that they do from

211
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:23,559
Speaker 1: a special team standpoint critical phase. But thank you guys,

212
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 1: and Merry Christmas. I appreciate everything you guys do, making
