1 00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:04,720 Speaker 1: Morning Bill when a fire like James Devlin goes out 2 00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:08,600 Speaker 1: and shouldn't reserve. I'm curious what are the conversations on 3 00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:12,799 Speaker 1: the staff and in the organization about um replacing a 4 00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:15,800 Speaker 1: player or what James Devlin brought to the table, which 5 00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:19,120 Speaker 1: are kind of a unique skill set and just moving 6 00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:22,320 Speaker 1: on and trying to figure out, let's do something different 7 00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:25,840 Speaker 1: on offense and not try to replace what Devlin brought 8 00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:31,400 Speaker 1: to the table, right, you know that's um Like, that's 9 00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:36,360 Speaker 1: a good question. It's um. First of all, I think 10 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:41,599 Speaker 1: we're fortunate to have one James James Devlin on our team. Um. 11 00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:47,920 Speaker 1: You know, he's works extremely hard. He's a versatile player 12 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,440 Speaker 1: that does things for us offensively and in the kicking game, 13 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 1: very dependable and has a lot of experience in our system. 14 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 1: So we're lucky to have him. To have two of 15 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,960 Speaker 1: him and be able to replace him with another James 16 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:07,120 Speaker 1: Delon it's just unrealistic. So and that's true at a 17 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:10,800 Speaker 1: number of positions for us. So there's no one person 18 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:12,840 Speaker 1: that can do what he does that would have to 19 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 1: be modified in some way where it was it might 20 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,759 Speaker 1: be a replaceable one person on one particular thing, but 21 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:28,759 Speaker 1: offensively and a kicking game, and some of the other 22 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:32,840 Speaker 1: roles that that he you know, has in those areas 23 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:36,680 Speaker 1: as well, not just our first down, offense and goal line. 24 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:38,840 Speaker 1: But again when you add all those together, he has 25 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:40,840 Speaker 1: a number of different roles on our team, including the 26 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 1: kicking game. It will be hard for any one person 27 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 1: to do that. So I think you kind of eliminate 28 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 1: that and look at okay, here we have first down, 29 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 1: we have second down, we have short areas and goal line, 30 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 1: and we have punt team, we have kickoff return, we 31 00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 1: have all the things that he participated in. Where what's 32 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 1: the best way for us to manage those situations? Now? 33 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 1: Um is one person? I mean I doubt it is 34 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,080 Speaker 1: a combination of people on or off the roster. That's 35 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 1: that's really the conversation, and so that you go from there. 36 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 1: If I could follow up Bill, it's kind of a 37 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 1: little off the beaten path, but kind of related to 38 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:25,360 Speaker 1: James Steplin. Um, how unusual or unique is the H 39 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:29,399 Speaker 1: back position in today's NFL? In other words, how many 40 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 1: teams do you how often do you actually see it implemented? Now, 41 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 1: when you say the h back, what we're exactually you're 42 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,800 Speaker 1: talking about? Well, I mean like the hybrid between the 43 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 1: if and then correct me if I'm wrong on the 44 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 1: XS and o's here, But the hybrid between the full 45 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 1: back position and the tight end and the utility that 46 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:58,239 Speaker 1: the versatility that that kind of player brings to the table. Um. Yeah, 47 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 1: I don't think there are a lot of fullback tight 48 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 1: end combo guys. I mean there are guys. There's some 49 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 1: tight ends that line up in the backfield. I would 50 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 1: say that that h back or that combo guy to 51 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:18,919 Speaker 1: me is the player that's part receiver and part um 52 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 1: tight end. So those are the kind of guys that, um, 53 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 1: you know, do you do you treat him as a receiver? 54 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,680 Speaker 1: What do you treat him as a tight end? You know, 55 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 1: guys like jessecky Um players like that. They're really not 56 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 1: tight ends. They're really not receivers. Um, they're good players. 57 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 1: And you know what what you know, what how do 58 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 1: you want to how do you want to classify him? Um? 59 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 1: You know, so you could you have that conversation about 60 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 1: Dolphin Knox for example as well. You know, see it's 61 00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 1: not you know again, I'm not saying those guys are 62 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 1: the same. I'm just saying those are the type of 63 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 1: players that really, you know, create a conversation because they 64 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 1: can split out detached from the formation being tight end locations. 65 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 1: But they're very good receiving tight ends at that position 66 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 1: relative to what you normally see there. So that's you know, 67 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 1: those those are I play the hard game plan questions 68 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 1: answer with those type of hybrid players. Great, Thanks Bill, 69 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 1: You're welcome. My next question would be Matt Golf followed 70 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 1: by Mike Grief. Thanks, say thanks Stacy. Morning Bill. So 71 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 1: I'm defense on defense, you've had to coach without some 72 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 1: guys who have played key roles for you for various reasons, 73 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:49,599 Speaker 1: like Kyle van Noyweek one feature twise in Miami. How 74 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 1: is your depth allowed the defense to stay consistent despite 75 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:57,160 Speaker 1: those moving parts and different guys being active or inactive 76 00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:02,480 Speaker 1: in a given week. Well, man, I think it starts 77 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 1: with practice. Um, we practice really a lot of players, 78 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:11,599 Speaker 1: and so we're in there in different combinations. Uh, in 79 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:18,479 Speaker 1: practice and m fortunately or unfortunately if if we end 80 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 1: up with a situation where somebody's unavailable for the game, 81 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 1: and in a lot of cases, those rotations have already 82 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 1: occurred on the practice field. Um. So like in Kyle's case, Um, 83 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 1: of course he would have been active for the game, 84 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,119 Speaker 1: and he would have had a, you know, a major 85 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 1: role in the game. But John and um Jamie and 86 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 1: Shlee Calhoun and um Winovich and you know those guys, 87 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 1: they're they all were working all working there anyway, and 88 00:05:56,200 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 1: so you know, the adjustment for those guys is not 89 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:05,160 Speaker 1: that big. It's just you know, a little more playtime. 90 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 1: I think you know, where it impacts the team the 91 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 1: most on a situation like that is the not just 92 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 1: defensively and the defensive packages. It takes certainly takes away 93 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 1: some depth, but then also hits it affection in the 94 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:20,920 Speaker 1: kicking game. As far as you know, players who are 95 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 1: on you know, four phases or maybe could be less 96 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 1: than that, you know too two phases, then you don't 97 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,360 Speaker 1: only have to replace them on defense. We have to 98 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 1: replace them in a kicking game. And you think it's 99 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,720 Speaker 1: a little bit challenging defensively when you have several different packages, 100 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 1: you know, early down package and you know a couple 101 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:46,559 Speaker 1: of different third down packages. Sometimes the same player doesn't 102 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:51,039 Speaker 1: always replace him in all those situations. So, um, that 103 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,360 Speaker 1: depends on who the player is and what the game 104 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 1: plan is. That could get a little more challenging, but 105 00:06:56,520 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 1: overall our depth is is good. The guys get a 106 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 1: lot of work in practice. Um, and they're you know, 107 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 1: somewhat interchangeable. All right, Thanks, you're welcome. Next question, Remincrease. 108 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 1: You will ask anybody else did five star if you 109 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 1: want to answer the questions? Bill. When Willie McGinnis was 110 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 1: interviewing you early in training camp on NFL Network, it 111 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 1: was mentioned that you'd be more involved this year defensively 112 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 1: than maybe recent years. How would you describe how that 113 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,560 Speaker 1: involvement has gone this year as you've balanced the myriad 114 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 1: responsibilities that come with being head coach. Well, we have 115 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 1: a lot of good coaches on our staff, a lot 116 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 1: of experience coaches on our staff as well, so I 117 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 1: have a lot of confidence. And then they do a 118 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 1: great job. They work hard, they're very well prepared, and uh, 119 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 1: you know say that you know the interactions or something 120 00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 1: that we've you know, grown through in the off season 121 00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:06,120 Speaker 1: and training camp. But it's gone well. The next question 122 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 1: we Phil Perry, followed by Teras Sullivan. Hey, Bill, I 123 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 1: think we're gonna get a chance to talk to Girard 124 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 1: Mayo here in a few minutes, but wanted to check 125 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 1: in with you and get a sense for how you've 126 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:21,000 Speaker 1: seen Gerard grow as a coach over the course of 127 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 1: you know, the summer, spring and summer obviously, but three 128 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 1: weeks of the regular season now here too. And I 129 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 1: am curious just as it relates to the linebackers, where 130 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 1: you guys ask some players who are interchangeable in terms 131 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 1: of looking like inside linebackers one play and maybe an 132 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 1: outside linebacker the next play. How did that work with 133 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,679 Speaker 1: those players? Are they do they all meet in the 134 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:46,839 Speaker 1: same group? I know you have an inside linebackers coach 135 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:51,319 Speaker 1: and outside linebackers coach? Do they go to two separate meetings? If? If? 136 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 1: If they are sort of interchangeable, players are just kind 137 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 1: of curious how that works for some of those players, right, 138 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 1: I'll tell that's a good question. We'll talk about that, um, 139 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 1: and what we what we try to do is maximize 140 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 1: the time that we have with the players. UM. So 141 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 1: we have to answer that question on a daily and 142 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,440 Speaker 1: on a weekly basis, depending on what their roles are 143 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 1: and you know, how things are set up for that 144 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:24,199 Speaker 1: particular week. But UM, they all have a good understanding 145 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 1: of what uh, what their teammates do and what the 146 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 1: adjacent positions do so whether they play that position or not, UM, 147 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 1: they understand what that person's doing. That helps them I think, 148 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 1: understand and do their handle their responsibility. But it is 149 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 1: um when you have that, when you have versatile players 150 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 1: like that, there is a um an element of organizationally 151 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,080 Speaker 1: putting them in the right spot so that they're not 152 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,000 Speaker 1: sitting there listening to a bunch of stuff that doesn't 153 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 1: apply to them and missing things that are important, um, 154 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 1: you know, wherever you put them. So sometimes we have 155 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 1: to double up. Sometimes they meet and then we have 156 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:09,720 Speaker 1: to have another meeting with them, UM to go over like, okay, 157 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:11,560 Speaker 1: well here are some things we talked about that you missed. 158 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,000 Speaker 1: You know that will be important, um you know on 159 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,319 Speaker 1: these couple of these calls whatever it happens to be. 160 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 1: So at times we have to do that. I think 161 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:24,080 Speaker 1: that DeMarcus and Gerard and um, you know Brett do 162 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 1: a good job of just kind of keeping track of that. 163 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 1: UM you know, we got to make sure that we 164 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:33,559 Speaker 1: get this player this information or that information because he 165 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:35,760 Speaker 1: wasn't here when we went over this, because he was 166 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,080 Speaker 1: you know, going over something else that was important. So 167 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:40,719 Speaker 1: that's that's something we have to we have to keep 168 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 1: track of. And it's a really good it's good question. 169 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 1: It's something that organizationally is a little bit of a challenge. UM. Yeah, 170 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 1: going back to Jarrad Dross done a you know, done 171 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:55,440 Speaker 1: a great job. You know, his um experience as a 172 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 1: player in our system is very valuable. UM. We can 173 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 1: talk about things that calls that we could make on 174 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:07,440 Speaker 1: the field or identifications and so forth, and you know 175 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 1: his perspective of yeah, that's no problem, that'd be easy, 176 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:13,959 Speaker 1: that's easy for us to do, or you know that's 177 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 1: a lot harder because the players thinking about this, you're 178 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,200 Speaker 1: thinking about that and so forth, and so you know, 179 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:24,080 Speaker 1: it makes a rethink and have that perspective of what 180 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,480 Speaker 1: you know, how a player, how easy it is or 181 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 1: isn't for a player in certain situations. And you know 182 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 1: he's done it, um, and he's done it under pressure 183 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,520 Speaker 1: and you know, delve with a lot of things that 184 00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,480 Speaker 1: that we currently deal with. And so you know, that's 185 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,080 Speaker 1: a good perspective to have in the room. We don't 186 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:43,320 Speaker 1: have that from from anybody else defensively, so UM. But 187 00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 1: as far as you know, adapt into the coaching um, 188 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,079 Speaker 1: you know, lifestyle and so forth, drafts. He's done a 189 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 1: great job. Think Bill welcome, And the last two questions 190 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:01,600 Speaker 1: would be Charis Sullivan followed by Michael Tregor go ahead, sure. 191 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:05,959 Speaker 1: So to follow up on that, I'm just curious, like, 192 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,320 Speaker 1: in your experience in coaching, do you see in some 193 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 1: of your players, like when they're with you as players, 194 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 1: that oh, this guy might might make a coach and 195 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 1: day and understands the game that way. Or do they 196 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 1: sometimes deprive you when they maybe want to come back 197 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 1: or have an interest in coaching? Yeah, I care. I 198 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:27,720 Speaker 1: think every situation is different, just like each of us 199 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:33,080 Speaker 1: are different. We have different personalities and strength and weaknesses 200 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 1: and and interests and so forth. So, um, I think 201 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 1: you just have to take each situation individually and evaluated accordingly. 202 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:52,200 Speaker 1: And certain things might be right in a in one 203 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 1: situation and not be writing another situation. You know, coaching 204 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:56,319 Speaker 1: could be writing one situation, it could be not writ 205 00:12:56,320 --> 00:13:02,319 Speaker 1: in another situation, um, and vice versus. So it's to me, 206 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:06,560 Speaker 1: it really would depend on the individual, the circumstances, the situation, 207 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 1: what their goals are, what your opportunities are, so forth, 208 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 1: and so on. It's that's I think very individual. I 209 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 1: couldn't generalize it if I could do it a quick second. 210 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,000 Speaker 1: One I also wanted to ask you. In the last 211 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:26,319 Speaker 1: two weeks, you had two players, you know, miss a 212 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,000 Speaker 1: game to be with their families and the birth of 213 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,720 Speaker 1: a child. Is that something you said forth as policy? 214 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:34,160 Speaker 1: Are those a case by case basis? You know, how 215 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:35,839 Speaker 1: does that kind of come about where they get to 216 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:44,199 Speaker 1: make that decision? Um, Yeah, we handle it, you know, 217 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 1: we handle it internally. I don't you know, I have 218 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 1: coached for quite a while, as I had coach in 219 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:54,200 Speaker 1: two different organizations. I don't think that's ever ever been 220 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:58,200 Speaker 1: an issue. We've always so I've always talked about it 221 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 1: with the player. It's not like it's a rise, it's 222 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,200 Speaker 1: you know, something that there's a certainly a lead up 223 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 1: period too, and communicate about it. And depending on the 224 00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:11,680 Speaker 1: time of the situation, the circumstances and all that, take 225 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,560 Speaker 1: everything into consideration, and you know, everybody wants to do 226 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 1: what's best and we arrive at at that conclusion. So 227 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:20,880 Speaker 1: and again, there are a lot of variables on that. 228 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 1: You know, what the what the individual situation is, with 229 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:28,200 Speaker 1: the birth, where the game is and so forth, and 230 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 1: so on. There's a lot of things that can come 231 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:34,440 Speaker 1: into play. So maybe it's just good communication and I'm 232 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 1: trying to, you know, find out as much information as 233 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:41,040 Speaker 1: you can. You never have all of it. There's always 234 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:43,720 Speaker 1: some you know, sometimes you have to call it audible, 235 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 1: but figure it out and then you know, just everybody 236 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:54,000 Speaker 1: has the best interest of all the everything that's involved 237 00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:58,320 Speaker 1: and try to make a good decision on that. Thank 238 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:01,480 Speaker 1: you or last question will be Mike the track here 239 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:06,200 Speaker 1: all right, Stacey Bill, You've often talked about how there's 240 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,240 Speaker 1: a remarkable growth from year one to year two in 241 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:11,080 Speaker 1: the NFL. I'm curious in what you if three games 242 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:13,040 Speaker 1: is enough to sit start to see some of those 243 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 1: signs in Josh Allen and the growth he has made 244 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:26,320 Speaker 1: a quarterback he'll face this Sunday. Definitely, Definitely, he's he's 245 00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:29,640 Speaker 1: a very good player. He is a lot of physical talent. 246 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 1: But you can see the game has um. He's catching 247 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,240 Speaker 1: up with the game terms of his control of the 248 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 1: line of scrimmage, recognizing defenses, reading coverages, making decisions. So 249 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 1: I think all that um certainly improved over the and 250 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,520 Speaker 1: the the last year, as as it does with you know, 251 00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:58,680 Speaker 1: most all players, especially once at that position. So but 252 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 1: he's a very talented player. UM, and he's again continues 253 00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:05,360 Speaker 1: to you know, get better, you know, having the second 254 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 1: year in the same system, with the same offensive coordinator, 255 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:11,160 Speaker 1: with you know, UM some carry you know, a lot 256 00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:14,680 Speaker 1: of carry over. UM. I'm sure that's helped him as well. 257 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:19,960 Speaker 1: So he's definitely improved and developed and he's a will 258 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 1: be a very challenging player for us to defend this week.
