1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,680 Speaker 1: I just want to go back you. You gave a 2 00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:07,880 Speaker 1: detailed explanation of why um um Thomas didn't start yesterday 3 00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:11,000 Speaker 1: and how that went with Matt in the second half. 4 00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:14,520 Speaker 1: Was it also your plan to rotate the two or 5 00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:18,520 Speaker 1: was Thomas coming out in the third quarter? Are for 6 00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:23,360 Speaker 1: a mist blot a a performance based move? No, there 7 00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:24,520 Speaker 1: was just a plan to go ahead and move our 8 00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:27,200 Speaker 1: players on through the entire game at multiple positions. So 9 00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:29,600 Speaker 1: we just stuck with the plan right there. Yeah, there 10 00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:31,960 Speaker 1: was nothing. There was nothing performance based on that at all. 11 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,840 Speaker 1: Poul on that right there now, So again stressed again 12 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:36,559 Speaker 1: with Andrew. Obviously this is something the guy made a 13 00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:39,720 Speaker 1: mistake on a team policy. Again, I think to stress 14 00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:41,560 Speaker 1: this guy is a great dude in the building. We 15 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:45,240 Speaker 1: love Andrew. Nothing disrespectful or malicious. He just made a 16 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,480 Speaker 1: mistake in his consequences. So the second half, the plan 17 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:50,440 Speaker 1: was to rotate to him, just the same as you 18 00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:52,040 Speaker 1: did in the first half. Yeah, Mark had him on 19 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:53,720 Speaker 1: a rotation. He kind of just stuck with you know 20 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:55,520 Speaker 1: the number of series that we're going in and out 21 00:00:55,520 --> 00:01:01,120 Speaker 1: that point right there. Thanks Lombardo, are how has it 22 00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:06,120 Speaker 1: go good? Hey? Um, I'm just curious. I know you 23 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:09,200 Speaker 1: guys didn't practice today, but how how much closer is 24 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,480 Speaker 1: throwing Shephard being ready. I know it's a quick turnaround 25 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,040 Speaker 1: to Thursday night, but um, how much close are you 26 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 1: to having him back on the field. Yeah, I think 27 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:17,479 Speaker 1: we're a little bit closer than we were last week. 28 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 1: Obviously he didn't make it to the game. He worked 29 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 1: with the trainers today. I'm going a lot right now 30 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:25,200 Speaker 1: if the information they've given me from today's workout where 31 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:26,760 Speaker 1: in staff meetings when he was out there on the 32 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 1: field doing some of his rehab stuff. So being a 33 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:31,160 Speaker 1: walkthrough week for us, we have to go really based 34 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:32,679 Speaker 1: on what the trainers tell us. We'll have to go 35 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 1: ahead and look at them. You know, we'll see this 36 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 1: could go up to a pregame workout. We're not sure. Um, 37 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,320 Speaker 1: we'll see where he's at throughout the week. And they're 38 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,360 Speaker 1: pretty banged up on their side. Reports came out today, 39 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 1: no Miles Sanders, no zach Ertz. How much does that 40 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 1: change your preparation for a team knowing that they could 41 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 1: be without and probably are going to be without two 42 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 1: of their most unamic weapons. Well, I think they've got 43 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,639 Speaker 1: enough weapons on all fronts to really prepare for these guys. 44 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 1: So I mean, look, you don't want to see any 45 00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 1: players get hurt, to be honest with You want to 46 00:01:57,720 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 1: play teams when the're at their best. That's what competition 47 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 1: is all about. You know, we're expecting Jeffrey and Jackson 48 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 1: be back and they're gonna give you a lot of 49 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 1: trouble along with all the other receivers that have already. 50 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 1: So you know, they know how to use their receivers, 51 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 1: their backs, and they're tight ends all very well, so 52 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter who's in there, they're all very capable. 53 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:19,240 Speaker 1: I'm kind of it, hey, Joe, Um, when you prepare 54 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 1: for Philadelphia, I mean, have you done any work prior 55 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 1: to this week so it's not such a short week. Yeah? Absolutely. 56 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:29,680 Speaker 1: I think with all opponents, we actually go back in 57 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 1: the spring and through the summer and really build a 58 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,640 Speaker 1: base on what they are historically. Now, obviously that changes 59 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:36,919 Speaker 1: within the regular season based on who's on the roster 60 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 1: and how certain things are shaken out for them. But 61 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 1: I always try to work weeks ahead, especially know when 62 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,359 Speaker 1: it's a Thursday game, you know, you want to work 63 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ahead and really build your base 64 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 1: on them. You know, for me personally, I'm always a 65 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 1: week ahead on the opponent as it is. Anyway, that's 66 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,240 Speaker 1: something I've always done, so I've gotten accustomed to doing, 67 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,680 Speaker 1: you know, through what I've done at different places. So 68 00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 1: you just rely on your notes. You watch the tape 69 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,120 Speaker 1: on Monday from the previous game the night but for 70 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 1: the update where you think you're are with everything, and 71 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,799 Speaker 1: then that helps you as far as you're planning day 72 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,360 Speaker 1: on you know, Tuesday, and then going into Wednesday and 73 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 1: Thursday putting out of the game plan. If you wait 74 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:11,960 Speaker 1: till the game week to really start diving in the 75 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,359 Speaker 1: next opponent, I don't think there's enough time to really 76 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 1: dedicate recapping your game from the day before getting into 77 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,520 Speaker 1: a new opponent, really learning what they are and at 78 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 1: the same time formulating a plan for it. Some people 79 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,079 Speaker 1: can do that. For me personally, that's not the way 80 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:29,920 Speaker 1: I like to work. Thank you, Ogain. Hey Joe, just 81 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 1: going back to Paul's question with the left tackle, now 82 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,080 Speaker 1: that Andrews served as punishment and see back as you're 83 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 1: starting left tackle on Thursday night. Yeah, you will go 84 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 1: through practice week and kind of see where everything shakes out. 85 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 1: Right now, but I was pleased with the way. You know, 86 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 1: both he and Matt played all right along with Camp. 87 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 1: So you know, we've got multiple guys who can play 88 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 1: the positions. You know, Matt's guys worked on the right 89 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 1: and the left. You know, we practice Andrew both on 90 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:52,839 Speaker 1: the right and the left as is anyway, and Cam 91 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 1: gets reps on the left as well, just to make 92 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 1: sure we're all in position if we have to get 93 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 1: our numbers called. So we'll go through practices next couple 94 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 1: of days and kind of see everything aches out. But 95 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 1: you know, again, you know, we expect all of them 96 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 1: be at the game, and we expect all of them play. 97 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 1: And then when you have, you know, a decision to 98 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 1: make on a fourth down, what goes into that? I mean, 99 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 1: you have someone in your ear telling you the wind 100 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 1: probability and how it's effective. Is that gut feeling just 101 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 1: what goes into that for you? There's a lot of that. 102 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 1: I mean there's a lot of you know, you talk 103 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 1: through the situations they come up, you know, with Pat 104 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,360 Speaker 1: and Jason, you know, calling with plays on offense and defense. 105 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:23,839 Speaker 1: As I go through a series, I'm really looking down 106 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 1: the line of okay, if this gets a fourth and 107 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:27,600 Speaker 1: short here. What am I doing? We kick and are 108 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,480 Speaker 1: we going if let's get through a fourth and medium? 109 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 1: What am I doing right here? All right? What am 110 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 1: I looking at? If we punt the ball down here 111 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 1: on a long field goal situation versus taking the attempt 112 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:38,839 Speaker 1: to the long field goal? What could be the fact 113 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 1: right there? So to me, I'm kind of playing out 114 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,159 Speaker 1: the game in scenarios of what's gonna come up, what's 115 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,599 Speaker 1: gonna happen, you know, how can we can best handle it. 116 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,720 Speaker 1: I'm always you know, evaluating where we are time outs 117 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 1: versus clock and score, and then, to be honest with you, 118 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 1: a lot of it's just the flow of the game. 119 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 1: You know. You can look at the whole analytics pages 120 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:55,680 Speaker 1: of different things and they tell you when to go 121 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:57,839 Speaker 1: for two, when to go on fourth down. That's all great, 122 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,120 Speaker 1: but you've gotta understand the flow of the game, and 123 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,479 Speaker 1: sometimes there is a lot of emotion that goes into it. 124 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,040 Speaker 1: Not to just go out there and pound your chest, 125 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,279 Speaker 1: but knowing what your team needs at the time and 126 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:10,840 Speaker 1: how they're playing. Are you sure I'm rock? I was 127 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 1: actually gonna ask about that a little bit too. Joe 128 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 1: does does facing an opposing coach who you know, is 129 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 1: going to be aggressive like Ron was, make you a 130 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:22,719 Speaker 1: little bit more conservative like you seem to be yesterday. Yeah, 131 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 1: I wouldn't necessarily say, you know, conservative, Different things needs 132 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 1: to play the strength of your team and the flow 133 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 1: of the game and what you have confidence in. While 134 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,240 Speaker 1: sometimes you may say it's conservat not to go from 135 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 1: fourth down, a lot of times it's aggressive to say 136 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 1: we're gonna trust our defense go out there and do 137 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 1: the job, so we're gonna have faith in our team. 138 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 1: We're preparing all three phases. You know. That being said, 139 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 1: you always have to consider how the other coach calls 140 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,480 Speaker 1: the game. You know, when Ron had the ball and 141 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,599 Speaker 1: they were driving about five minutes left in the game, 142 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 1: you start looking in terms of they're gonna treat this 143 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,280 Speaker 1: like it's a two minute situation. You start kind of 144 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 1: putting it through your mind and talking to the offense like, okay, guys, 145 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 1: let's be ready. We've got a couple of time outs. 146 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 1: Let's get ready to start working on two minute talking 147 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,160 Speaker 1: to our players, thinking about what calls may want to 148 00:05:58,200 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 1: make if I have to burn a time out here, guys, 149 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 1: thinking about how that may change our calls with only 150 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,799 Speaker 1: one time out, So we talk ahead on the situations 151 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 1: on the series to make sure everyone's on the same page. 152 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 1: But you have to understand how the other coach calls it. 153 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 1: Ron being a good example because he's been very aggressive 154 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,279 Speaker 1: throughout his career. Is it's gonna be a guy who's 155 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 1: gonna go for it to Midfield's gonna be a fake situation. 156 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 1: That's how Tom and t mac you don't really do 157 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 1: a good job getting the guys prepped and ready in 158 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 1: the situation of the game, being alert for the gimmicks 159 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:23,360 Speaker 1: and the gadgets make them up in the kicking game 160 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,040 Speaker 1: to try to extend drives. So you know, for us, 161 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,000 Speaker 1: we try to go ahead and apply, you know, all 162 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,719 Speaker 1: the principles of all the phases, but the opponent is 163 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,720 Speaker 1: always the biggest factor in the decisions you make, you know, 164 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,160 Speaker 1: so whether you're going from fourth down, it's who are 165 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:37,720 Speaker 1: you playing, how are they playing? And how are you 166 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:41,040 Speaker 1: playing against them? And I also I also want to 167 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 1: ask you. I know you love talking about yourself, but 168 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,720 Speaker 1: you you know, going back to Philly this week, um, 169 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 1: what what are you thought us? What are your emotions there? 170 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:49,480 Speaker 1: I'll probably wear a helmet too, because my in law 171 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 1: is already buying batteries. So you know, it's it's be 172 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:56,600 Speaker 1: honest with you, it's it's not my first time going 173 00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,279 Speaker 1: back to Philly as an opposing coach. Um, it's a 174 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,839 Speaker 1: great city, it's got great passionate fans, it's an excellent team. 175 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,480 Speaker 1: It's obviously a great rivalry. I grew up watching these games. 176 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,039 Speaker 1: They were always, you know, tough games, blue collar type 177 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 1: games when the Eagles and John's played when I was 178 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 1: growing up watching the games. Um, again, you're so focused 179 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 1: on the opponent, the emotion doesn't really get tied into it. 180 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 1: We just know we've got a heck of a team. 181 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 1: We gotta match up against heat Letard Joe. Specific to 182 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 1: the fourth down decision, why punt on fourth and two 183 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 1: from the thirty eight there where you know, take the 184 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 1: delay a game there, we're taking the delay a game 185 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 1: in that situation right there. Yeah, Like you can intentionally 186 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 1: take it to then punt, But I'm saying, like, why 187 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 1: not go for that there? Yeah again, Pat, at that 188 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 1: point right there, had a lot of confidence in our defense. 189 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 1: You know, hey, look we put the offense out there. 190 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 1: Sometimes it looks like it's intentional sometimes that maybe sometimes 191 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 1: it might not be. We've got a lot of situational 192 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 1: calls and different things we work at all times. But 193 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 1: in that situation right there, I mean, it's easy to say, hey, 194 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,679 Speaker 1: it's fourth and two, go for it. It's in short range, 195 00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 1: the defense is playing good. You gotta punt or your trust. 196 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 1: You got special teams that are you know, put on 197 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 1: the field to create field position. And if you're putting 198 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 1: the put on a long field and you trust what 199 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 1: your defense is playing, then you trust them to give 200 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 1: it back to your offense a good position. And Um 201 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 1: Kyler factral has made big plays and two straight games 202 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 1: now on d UM. I thought one of those guys 203 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,840 Speaker 1: he's playing through injuries. But just why, you know, why 204 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 1: has he been able to kind of come up with 205 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 1: some big plays and big moments for you guys. I 206 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 1: think he just does a good job of executing the plan. 207 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 1: You know, Pat does a really good job of putting 208 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 1: these pieces together. Bret does an next one job of 209 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,120 Speaker 1: coaching the guys on the edge, working with them. Kyler 210 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,560 Speaker 1: has a good tool set, a lot of versatility to it. 211 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 1: So whether it's dropping into coverage, Russian, setting the edge 212 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 1: against the run, whatever may be. You know, he does 213 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 1: a good job of really applying all of his tools 214 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 1: to it, and he's got good instincts and savvy to understand, 215 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 1: especially as the game goes on. When he makes a 216 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 1: lot of his plays, you know what his opponent's been 217 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:49,959 Speaker 1: showing him and what he can use to kind of 218 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:51,600 Speaker 1: set that guy up to go ahead and make a play. 219 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 1: But he's a good, smart football player. He's made a 220 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 1: lot of plays force when his number has been called, 221 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 1: we're happy to have him. Thanks. Let's say three more 222 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 1: are Jordan's Zach Art Hey, Joe was I know obviously 223 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,800 Speaker 1: you talked about the preparation weeks and for opponents that 224 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:12,480 Speaker 1: you do and maybe the coaches do. I'm curious defensively, 225 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 1: especially when you want to be week to week with 226 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 1: the game plan or a hesitancy with the players to 227 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 1: know that you don't want to change too much and 228 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,280 Speaker 1: go with a blank slate on a week where you 229 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 1: play on a Thursday night as opposed to maybe a 230 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,559 Speaker 1: regular week. Do you you guys talk about that and 231 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,680 Speaker 1: you know shift maybe what you would do philosophically based 232 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:35,959 Speaker 1: on the time you actually have. Now you know what 233 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:38,560 Speaker 1: we always think about that are but really the way 234 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 1: we teach in the beginning is what sets us up 235 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,640 Speaker 1: for situations like this on a short week, because whether 236 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 1: it's a Thursday night game or halftime adjustment, which we 237 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,280 Speaker 1: had to make plenty of them yesterday with some personnel 238 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 1: changed in the game due to injury, the guys have 239 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 1: to understand the concepts of what you're trying to do. 240 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 1: So when you start teaching on the front end and 241 00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,040 Speaker 1: training camping back in the spring, you want to make 242 00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:00,120 Speaker 1: sure that all the players understand the concepts what you're 243 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 1: trying to doing. So it's a certain type of coverage, Okay, 244 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,600 Speaker 1: what are the elements of the coverage? All right, it's 245 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 1: a certain type of man coverage. What's the leverage you 246 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 1: have to win. It's a certain kind of rush. What 247 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:10,720 Speaker 1: are the details of the rush we have to execute? 248 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 1: And then you just plug people in different spots and 249 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 1: they understand that when they're in that spot that that 250 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,320 Speaker 1: concept applies to they know how to play it. So 251 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 1: we make sure then we drill our players and we 252 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 1: teach them. Everyone's learning how to play deep field technique. 253 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 1: Everyone's learning how to play a hard flat technique. Everyone's 254 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 1: learning to play curl flat or you know the seam 255 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 1: curl or the middle run through. Everyone's learned how to 256 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 1: set an edge in the run game, everyone's learning how 257 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 1: to blitz the A and the B gap, and everyone's 258 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:34,559 Speaker 1: learning how to work a stunt game and a twist 259 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 1: coming off the edge. So we make sure we put 260 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:38,280 Speaker 1: all of our guys through all the exercise of it 261 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:40,560 Speaker 1: so that when it comes up for them, it's not new. 262 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,160 Speaker 1: It may seem more new to the opponent, but for us, 263 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 1: it's something we've been teaching from day one. And just 264 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 1: the follow up on the tackles situation, do you see 265 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 1: any advantage for switching guys mid game series the series 266 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 1: against the defense and what maybe the defense is prepared for, 267 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 1: You know, the difference got Thomas versus a pert at 268 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 1: left tackle. I think the biggest emphas is it's just 269 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 1: important for us to play as many of our guys 270 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,720 Speaker 1: as possible, especially these young guys who need to gain 271 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:10,840 Speaker 1: the experience and can only really improve by being on 272 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 1: the field and working. Matt's guys shown a lot of 273 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 1: improvement the way he works in practice. We've seen it 274 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,800 Speaker 1: from the team periods, the individual one on one pass 275 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,600 Speaker 1: rush periods. He's showing progress in the games in the 276 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 1: action he's seen. Uh, Andrew be doing a good job 277 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,120 Speaker 1: for us as well. So to me, it's just important 278 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,600 Speaker 1: to get guys involved and let them play and learn. 279 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 1: Thanks for Jordan's and build out that for one second 280 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 1: that I have a bunch later question how much did 281 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 1: Matt Pert earn the opportunity to play more from how 282 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,240 Speaker 1: he did yesterday? Yeah, I think he did a good 283 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,640 Speaker 1: enough job. I've confidence put him on the field. I've 284 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,680 Speaker 1: confidence in Andrew, I have confidence in Camp, I've confidence 285 00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 1: in all our offensive lignment. So has he earned the 286 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:50,960 Speaker 1: right to be on the field and contribute. Absolutely, That's 287 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,080 Speaker 1: why he's gonna be at the game's force. Um, but 288 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,720 Speaker 1: everybody on our roster and practice guys earned the right 289 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 1: to be here. Jordan and we have confidence will play 290 00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 1: any of them anytime. And uh, I mean you grew 291 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 1: up in Philadelphia, very provincial city. We know that. I'm 292 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:05,679 Speaker 1: just curious, what do you think your friends and your 293 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:07,080 Speaker 1: even your mom would have said to you, say, Hey, 294 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:08,440 Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna be the coach with the New 295 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 1: York Giants when I was younger. I don't know, man, 296 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 1: I don't know. Go get him. Yeah, look, my brother. Look, 297 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 1: my brother walked around an LT jersey his entire life. 298 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 1: Just I think mostly that you make us mad because 299 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:28,520 Speaker 1: we're all rooting for the Eagles. But you know, he 300 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 1: eventually he used to seeing it and you understand why 301 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 1: he was wearing it all right, last question, here's that 302 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:39,079 Speaker 1: and Joe. Um, you guys had Ryan Lewis falling following 303 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,200 Speaker 1: Terry McLaurin around for a little bit. I'm just curious 304 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,200 Speaker 1: the thought process there and how you thought he held up. 305 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 1: I don't think you gave up a catch yesterday. No. 306 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 1: I thought Ryan's been playing well for Uce. He's definitely 307 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 1: guys made a lot of progress for us. Um. You know, 308 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 1: we've been familiar with Ryan for some time, had experience 309 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,760 Speaker 1: within the past. He's definitely a guy who's really, you know, 310 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 1: improved over the course of his career. UM, I got 311 00:12:57,880 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 1: a lot of confidence Ryan ill Field. He's a tough 312 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 1: dude out um, but he definitely rose up with competition. 313 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 1: I mean, look, mclauren's a heck of a receiver now, 314 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,160 Speaker 1: I mean, this guy's explosive is can be. He talked 315 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:08,840 Speaker 1: to guys like Colt who had him on the team 316 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 1: as a teammate, with him. And you know, early in 317 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 1: the week, you know Colt saying some you know, accolades 318 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:14,920 Speaker 1: about this guy, about how he's one of the best 319 00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 1: receivers he's ever thrown too, in terms of what this 320 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:18,920 Speaker 1: guy can do to get open, then what he does 321 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:20,680 Speaker 1: with the ball in his hand, and it paints a 322 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:22,679 Speaker 1: picture that you know, this guy is really an excellent player. 323 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:24,720 Speaker 1: You see it on tape. I remember when the guy 324 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,240 Speaker 1: came out of college, he was painted a little bit 325 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:29,480 Speaker 1: as more of a special teams guy than an offensive guy. 326 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 1: Um and I think this guy's definitely shown he's got 327 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:34,679 Speaker 1: versatility and he's definitely a weapon for their offense, and 328 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:36,320 Speaker 1: you know, he'd be a player for any team in 329 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 1: this league. But Ryan did a good job force right there. 330 00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:40,960 Speaker 1: That's just part of the matchups we established for the 331 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,720 Speaker 1: game plan right there. And then later in the later 332 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:45,560 Speaker 1: in the game it was changed up for different reasons. 333 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 1: But I thought Ryan did a good job force yesterday.
