1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:02,400
Speaker 1: All right, guys, the game.

2
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:06,920
Speaker 2: Eric Armstead out, rost Welly out, Hardgrave out, Berks out,

3
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 2: Elijah Mitchell out, char various, Ward questionable, Greenlaw questionable, Burford questionable,

4
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 2: Aaron Banks questionable.

5
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:22,600
Speaker 1: Go ahead, Banks, that practice tweaking practice.

6
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 3: Today yesterday?

7
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 4: Like a defensive tackle, Kyle without the two starters there,

8
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 4: what's that.

9
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,839
Speaker 5: Offensive tackle spot without?

10
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:38,960
Speaker 6: What I.

11
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 1: Mean? I'd like them being there, but but I like

12
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:47,879
Speaker 1: the other guys on our team too. Are you asking who?

13
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 1: I'm not sure, but somebody from our building we'll be

14
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 1: down to. So we got to have two more go

15
00:00:56,080 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 1: and we'll make that decision on Sunday.

16
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 6: After games, coaches almost always talk to each other and embrace.

17
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 2: What do you typically say to the opposing coach after

18
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 2: a win after a loss?

19
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:13,679
Speaker 1: I always wondered, I don't really know. Sometimes good luck,

20
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 1: best of luck the rest of the year, good game,

21
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 1: you kicked our butts if that happens if you did

22
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 1: it the other way, you really don't. And it's harder

23
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: because you don't want to say good game or congrats

24
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:25,960
Speaker 1: or anything like that, so you just use a wait

25
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 1: for them to talk. So it's sometimes there's stuff to

26
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,479
Speaker 1: talk about. If something happened in the game, but there's

27
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: no it's usually just awkward handshake and you try to

28
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 1: get out of there as fast as possible. See him at.

29
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 6: Indy That was Jon jump on ken Lot. How has

30
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 6: he been able to just build a little bit of

31
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 6: momentum from just being healthy.

32
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: I think the best part about him being healthy is

33
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: what is should be very obvious to everybody. But you

34
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: get a practice and play football all the time, and

35
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:05,639
Speaker 1: football is the hardest sport to prepare for. You can't

36
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 1: you have to do it twenty two people out there.

37
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 1: You can't just go practice your shot in gym, you

38
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: can't just do one on ones in the off season

39
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 1: or anything. You have to really play the game. And

40
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 1: you know, we don't really get to in the off

41
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,799
Speaker 1: season with our off season rules and stuff. And that's

42
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,920
Speaker 1: really tough on old lineman and d lineman when you've

43
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: been hurt every year that you come in and you

44
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: have to be protected throughout practice the whole week. Then

45
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 1: you're only really playing on game day and then you

46
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:30,919
Speaker 1: get sore and you miss all that throughout the week.

47
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 1: So that's kind of been in Javon's story since his

48
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 1: rookie year, and this year. That hasn't come up once,

49
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: and it didn't come up in the offseason, and he

50
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,919
Speaker 1: stayed here the whole off season, so he just physically

51
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: he was in as good a football shape you could

52
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 1: be in which he's done a couple off seasons. But

53
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: then he didn't have any setbacks once we started practicing.

54
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: So he strung to gather all these practices. And when

55
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: you're talented and you work hard there, you only get

56
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,519
Speaker 1: better when you practice. And that's what's been so good

57
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 1: about Debo these last this last month, Kittle, this last month,

58
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 1: when guys don't get hurt and they can still play

59
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: in a game and still practice, not to kill themselves

60
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 1: in practice, but just to stay with their routine, all

61
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 1: these guys get so much better. And that's that's been

62
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: taken away a lot in the NFL, just with the

63
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: lack of anything in off season and how little training

64
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: camp is. So it's so it's so important to practice

65
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: football throughout the year because you don't build it up

66
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 1: in the off season.

67
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 6: He had he set himself up for the future. You know,

68
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 6: probably coming into this year, a lot of questions around

69
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 6: the league about his sustainability and how he could fit

70
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 6: in long term, you think he's done a lot to

71
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 6: kind of races.

72
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt about it. I mean, everyone around the

73
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: league knows how the talent he was coming out of college.

74
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 1: You know, you're starting to show that his rookie year.

75
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: But then ever since that Dallas game, he just hasn't

76
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: been right with his knee, and so it becomes a

77
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 1: question of not how good can he get, but whether

78
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: he can even play or not. And what he did

79
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: this whole off season was as big of a commitment

80
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: as anyone I've ever been around. You're still so nervous

81
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: for the guys they can't control their injuries, but for

82
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: him to be able to do this and play now

83
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: the tape looks what people anticipated, and the whole league

84
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 1: has respect, and he's only going to get better.

85
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 6: Frustrations to make it harder than number two.

86
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: Develop young players, Oh yeah, how do you develop them?

87
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: People got to get hurt and they got to get

88
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 1: in and then usually they're not ready, so they look

89
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:22,160
Speaker 1: bad and then they lose their opportunity and sometimes they're

90
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: out of league too fast. So that's one of the

91
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,840
Speaker 1: biggest challenges, and that's that's what's so hard for draft

92
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:31,039
Speaker 1: pick picks sometimes to make teams and stuff, because it's

93
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 1: just there's not always time.

94
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 4: Pretty clear at the time that it happened that you

95
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 4: didn't think much of the whole storyline of making a

96
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 4: big deal about Wilke's coming down to the sideline. But

97
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,160
Speaker 4: the defense has been really good at the last five

98
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 4: games since the buy and did get better. What areas

99
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 4: do you think got better for them?

100
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 1: Well, it's I mean not because Steve is down there.

101
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 1: I did his I've loved him down there. I think

102
00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: he likes it down there too. But I think I've

103
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:02,840
Speaker 1: said this before, but I think we've played it. We've

104
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 1: been playing as a group better on all three levels.

105
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 1: I think in our even in our five wins in

106
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 1: a row to our three losses, I just think it

107
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 1: was a little sporadic. The D line had their times,

108
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: the linebackers had their times, the secondary did. I feel

109
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 1: all three of those units have been just on all

110
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: three levels, have been matching each other better, and that's

111
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 1: led to more turnovers, it's led to more sacks, it's

112
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,479
Speaker 1: led to a lot more PBUs and it's been awesome

113
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 1: having them down there too.

114
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 3: Center in your offense, give perspective, what kind of football,

115
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 3: I he someone needs and then really suprendo, like when

116
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 3: you realize how he had he had that ability.

117
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: I mean it takes a ton, you know. It's it's

118
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 1: really hard to identify everybody out there, get everyone on

119
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: the same page, especially when your quarterback, and in our system,

120
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 1: we don't have our quarterback pointed out all the time.

121
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:54,600
Speaker 1: We usually have the center do most of that. Quarterbacks

122
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 1: got to change some things, but most of it's on

123
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: the center, and it's a huge challenge in our system.

124
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 1: That's why a lot of places don't motion quite as much,

125
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: because that makes it a lot harder on the center.

126
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: It makes it harder on everybody. So you got to

127
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 1: really work at that. You got a guy. You got

128
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 1: to have a guy who can understand the moving parts,

129
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 1: not only just on a chalkboard or before the game,

130
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 1: but in the heat of battle.

131
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 4: And it's.

132
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 1: Really as hard as anything, and he's been so good

133
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: at it. You gotta have a certain personality where you're

134
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 1: constantly thinking and very gosh, I have lack of words.

135
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:28,840
Speaker 1: I'm about to say a wrong one, which I shouldn't,

136
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 1: but you got to be kind of neurotic about it,

137
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 1: just thinking about it all the time and stuff because

138
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 1: it is it's constant thought, because there's so much going

139
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 1: on in so many moving parts, and he fits that

140
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: personality perfect and think it a lot of opportunities. Early

141
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 1: in his career, Chris told us about him. First time

142
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: we brought him here was during COVID he ended up.

143
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 1: First time I met him was when he came in

144
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,600
Speaker 1: my office three minutes before they had to opt out

145
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 1: or not and something came up, so he had to

146
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 1: make a decision in like six minutes, and so it

147
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,039
Speaker 1: was crazy just to lose a guy Chris told me

148
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 1: had a chance, but we didn't even know. I wasn't

149
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 1: sure quite what he looked like at the time. But

150
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 1: when he opted out, we got him back a year later,

151
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 1: and it was really that year we saw that he

152
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 1: was made of the right stuff to learn our offense,

153
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: his skill set, he would eventually be able to get

154
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: in and do it and just being here and putting

155
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 1: the time, and it's really paid off, and he's done

156
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: a hell of a job for us. He's two years.

157
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 3: Twenty sixty.

158
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 5: Falcons question, we're running to Taylor Gabriel and saw like

159
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 5: they had specific roles, like what you wanted from him?

160
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 5: How would you describe, like just briefly, each of what

161
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 5: you when you got those guys, like, this.

162
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 3: Is what you're gonna do.

163
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 1: That's what we do for everybody. It's everyone has skill sets,

164
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 1: and you try to put guys in the position to

165
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 1: use their skill sets and that's their strengths. And when

166
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 1: you people usually got to work really hard on defense

167
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: to stop people and their strengths. Every once in a while,

168
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 1: you guys got to do what is in his strength.

169
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 1: But when you have more than one guy out there

170
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 1: and a bunch of guys with different strengthsly balances people out.

171
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 1: You can put one guy to do all the stuff

172
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 1: and that he kind of majors in. And once they're

173
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 1: taking that type of deal away with leverage or coverages

174
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 1: or anything like that, instead of asking him to do

175
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: something that he's not quite as good at. It's nice

176
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 1: to have four other choices who are different in other areas.

177
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 1: You don't always want the same guy. You want the

178
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 1: best guys possible, but they come in all different shapes

179
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 1: and sizes. We can't let him take all your guys.

180
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,679
Speaker 1: You guys, good, all right, Okay, thanks guys,
