1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,560
Speaker 1: I guess. So some of the challenges going against this

2
00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:03,440
Speaker 1: defense Sunday.

3
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:05,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, so this is a great group. Started with their

4
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:08,159
Speaker 2: defensive coordinator, you know, Vance Joseph, who have a lot

5
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:11,080
Speaker 2: of respect for. He does a really good job, very

6
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:16,040
Speaker 2: well coached schematically to throw a lot at you. Zone coverages,

7
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:19,800
Speaker 2: man coverages, different variation of fronts. So there's a there's

8
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 2: a lot of things that really at all three levels

9
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 2: that you got to worry about. Then you you tack

10
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:25,120
Speaker 2: that on with with the with the players they have

11
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 2: and the production they're having not only rushing the passer,

12
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 2: but the third down in the red zone. You know,

13
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:32,960
Speaker 2: a lot of key factors. So we really got to

14
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 2: be dial into the program this week understanding who we're playing,

15
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 2: the guys that are there, how they play their certain techniques.

16
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 1: We have to be fundamentally sound. But it's gonna be

17
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:42,839
Speaker 1: a great challenge.

18
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 3: Jackson's a pretty confident, calm kid at least for what

19
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 3: we get to see.

20
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:50,199
Speaker 2: How does a prime time win I guess help acky

21
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 2: quarterback or kind of what have you seen impact town?

22
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 4: Yeah?

23
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 2: It was I thought it was a good I mean

24
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 2: did a nice job last week, and that's one thing

25
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 2: we got to be able to learn from is you know,

26
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 2: the things that don't go as well quite as well

27
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 2: the things that do that go well, and take those

28
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 2: bank that as an experience. No different than you know,

29
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 2: we were talking, you know, a couple of weeks back

30
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 2: in the New Orleans when that was wasn't as great.

31
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 2: You know, so I think it's an experience. It was

32
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 2: a good experience. We won the game, we did some

33
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 2: we did some nice things offensively. You got to bank

34
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 2: it and then you got to get right back to work.

35
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 2: It's a you know, the season just moves so fast

36
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:23,839
Speaker 2: that you know, you got to take the good things,

37
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 2: keep out stacking and building off of them. And then

38
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 2: the things that we can do improve on, we got

39
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 2: to apply that and focusing out and really dial into

40
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 2: you know, how do we improve on those aspects. How

41
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 2: much different does Jackson and Cam's personality and the way

42
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 2: their physicality really the way they play, how much different

43
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 2: field does it give the offense or a different look?

44
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, they do.

45
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 2: They they're football players. You know, I think we have

46
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 2: a bunch of those guys on offense. I know you

47
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 2: singled out two of them, but I think we have

48
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 2: all eleven all the guys that we put out there,

49
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 2: their football players are tough. I think that's you know,

50
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 2: you know, a tip of the captain Joe and Daves

51
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 2: and getting the right guys in here that that play

52
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 2: the game that way, and you know they're certainly expressing

53
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 2: themselves that way in the football field, and that's that's great, Like,

54
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 2: that's what we want. We want our guys playing tough,

55
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 2: playing smart. You know, we don't want the penalties and

56
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 2: the pre snap stuff and even the post snap stuff

57
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 2: like we can't have that. But the certain mentality that

58
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 2: you want to play with, the aggressiveness that you want

59
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,639
Speaker 2: to play and coach with is is there.

60
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 1: And those guys are doing a great job at the

61
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 1: quarterback right, he's the natural leader. Just fight position.

62
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 3: Then you know, send the I don't know, a viver

63
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 3: feeling to everyone else around you.

64
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,359
Speaker 2: You believe, yeah, whenever, whenever your leadership and the quarterback,

65
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 2: particularly because he's touching the ball every play. When you

66
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 2: have that kind of spark, you have that kind of

67
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 2: energy that you bring not only just to the huddle

68
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 2: to the field, but when you're like that way in

69
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 2: the meetings and you're like that way in the hallway

70
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,920
Speaker 2: in the locker room and you know, talking with the

71
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:55,679
Speaker 2: coaches and talking with the staff and talking with the

72
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 2: people around the building. Absolutely that brings it raises everyone's

73
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 2: love speeding.

74
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 4: And its obviously how much has Andrew Thomas being held

75
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,639
Speaker 4: the impact, you know, being more physical in the run game,

76
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 4: and also Jackson's confidence in the pocket and he had

77
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 4: a left tackle who's not really allowed much pressure on him.

78
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's been It's been great to have him back

79
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,119
Speaker 2: and get him in, get him in the mix, and

80
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 2: you know he can kind of rat him up early,

81
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 2: but he's done a great job and it's no surprise

82
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 2: to any of us. He goes in there, he goes

83
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 2: to work, puts in the work, and as far as

84
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,639
Speaker 2: his details, watching the tape, understanding what we got to

85
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 2: do schematically, what we have to do for our for

86
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,799
Speaker 2: our plan, but then also who the opponent he's going against,

87
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 2: and you know BNDO those guys are. He's a phenomenal

88
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 2: pass rusher leading the league in sacks. So we'll have

89
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 2: a great test out there and uh, you know we'll

90
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 2: continue to work on that today.

91
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 4: How much do you think he's helped he's last three weeks,

92
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 4: But as far as just his impact, just him playing

93
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 4: every Snow, how much does he helped his offense elevated more?

94
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know it's a hard one to answer because

95
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 2: I just really believe that, I mean, offense is a

96
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 2: eleven man operation. It's not just one guy. I mean,

97
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 2: everyone's got to work together on it. If you have

98
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 2: all if ten guys doing their job, but then one

99
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 2: guy doesn't, it's probably gonna be a bad play. And

100
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 2: you know, so we need to make sure that all

101
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 2: them guys are doing their job, we're all in sync.

102
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: It's not about one guy, it's about the whole core group.

103
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 3: Like you, it's no secret, guess with a quarterback you

104
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 3: want to run the ball. You know your team's built

105
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 3: to run the ball. Do you kind of do like

106
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 3: the worst case scenarios and like, okay, let's say they

107
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 3: come out and take the run away from us and

108
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 3: determined to do that. And if you do that, you know,

109
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 3: you think Jackson in this passing game, can you know,

110
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 3: survive and win a game if they can't rely on

111
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 3: their run?

112
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 1: You know, if it's like, Okay, the rookie's got to

113
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: now throw us into our victory.

114
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's part of that's part of our job as

115
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 2: a coaching staff is to have enough complimentary stuff, not

116
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 2: only just in the wrung game in the past game,

117
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 2: but then myself as a play caller really studying and

118
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 2: trying to understand what the depose coordinators trying to do.

119
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: And then have have a plan in place that we

120
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: can get to.

121
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 2: Whether it's plays, whether it's a package of plays, you know,

122
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,279
Speaker 2: it could be a variety of things. But yeah, we

123
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,160
Speaker 2: we certainly have to have contingency plans on if they

124
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 2: do this, what do we do?

125
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 1: What's our answer?

126
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 2: And that's what we do all week as we talk

127
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,839
Speaker 2: about it and and talk through all, right, what happens

128
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 2: if you know, this person does this or this person

129
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 2: goes down. Even you know we're talking about our substitutions.

130
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 2: All those things kind of you know, play into it.

131
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,599
Speaker 1: Went in the decision to go with LJ and such

132
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 1: a big role and what did you see from him?

133
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, LJ did a nice job throughout the preseason and

134
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 2: he was on the practice squad and you know him

135
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 2: having an opportunity with some veteran presence there. He's a

136
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 2: really smart player, he's big, he's had the ability to

137
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 2: go get the ball. You saw a couple of examples

138
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 2: of that in Philly, and uh, yeah, we're really excited

139
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 2: about LJ. And I think he's got a lot of trust.

140
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:37,919
Speaker 2: He's had a lot of time on task with Jackson,

141
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 2: you know, throughout the course of training camp and the

142
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 2: spring and stuff and even in the preseason, so there

143
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:44,280
Speaker 2: was there was some comfortability in there.

144
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 1: Mich Hope. Sure.

145
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 2: Have you changed a lot of the route concepts since

146
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 2: Jackson has taken over compared the way you had what

147
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 2: Russell was playing. I wouldn't say necessarily like the route concepts.

148
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 2: The offense that we put in is our is our

149
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 2: core offense. You know, there's certain things that you want

150
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,280
Speaker 2: to do to accentuate certain players, you know, from the

151
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 2: skill position group, from a line group, and then some

152
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 2: things that you want to carry over that the quarterback has,

153
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 2: you know, really good comfort and so every.

154
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: Quarterback is gonna be a little bit different. You look

155
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 1: at across the league.

156
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 2: You know, certain guys, the offense looks one way with

157
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:17,600
Speaker 2: a certain quarterback, then all of a sudden that guy

158
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 2: gets hurt or not another guy comes in. You've got

159
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:21,719
Speaker 2: to be able to mesh to it. So you know,

160
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 2: we've had some experience around here doing that with a

161
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 2: few quarterbacks. So you know, I'm glad that you know,

162
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 2: you know, we got to put the other good plan

163
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 2: for Jackson. But that's that's part of it, you know,

164
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 2: that's part of the deal. That's part of the deal

165
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 2: on offense, and that's that's the fun part, honestly, when

166
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 2: you can get different players in different spots and really

167
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 2: trying to make them the best they can do. Take

168
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,919
Speaker 2: more mor Zeum for us in that backup role, and

169
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 2: Russ has done a great job. I mean, he's he's

170
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 2: dialed in, he's prepared, not only just for his own job,

171
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 2: but then also helping Jackson being in the room and

172
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,479
Speaker 2: expressing his experiences which he has a lot of great

173
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,479
Speaker 2: ones to lean on. He's been a great resource for me.

174
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 2: He's been a great resource for the quarterback room and accent,

175
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 2: and I mean he does a great job. He's a

176
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 2: captain of the team as well, so you know, all

177
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 2: that carries that Russ has been phenomenal quarterback.

178
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 3: Season of first first win on the road.

179
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: Is that something that you know, quarterback has to put

180
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 1: me notch on it? Spaill, I certainly don't view it

181
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 1: that way. I just think of it this week, you know,

182
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: really just focused.

183
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 2: On today is getting our third down playing, you know,

184
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 2: talking through our shortyarded stuff. Really just down into today.

185
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 2: All that other stuff. I think we'll you know, we'll

186
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 2: have to worry about that on Sunday. But right now

187
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 2: we're just focused on you know what's what's most important.

188
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 2: That's you know, our third down in practice today.

189
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 1: What have you learned from Ross? You say is a

190
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 1: great resource? What is he kind of taught you?

191
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean he certainly has had a lot of

192
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 2: different I mean we both played, which is cool, but

193
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 2: you know, I think his experiences playing in Super Bowls,

194
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 2: playing in the playoff games, playing in potent like down

195
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 2: season when things happened. You know, we've just it's been

196
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 2: great to just hear certain stories and how they got

197
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 2: back on track or you know, things that they wish

198
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 2: he as she would have done.

199
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 1: You know.

200
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 2: So it's just when you're talking about thirteen fourteen year

201
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 2: vets between him and Jamis, there's a lot of experience

202
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 2: in that room, and they've all had a variety of experiences.

203
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 1: That we can all lean on.

204
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 2: So you know, there's there are certain times where we

205
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 2: get caught up just telling stories and you just see

206
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 2: the other guys, whether it's Jackson or you know, young

207
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 2: guys in the room just kind of soaking it all

208
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 2: in listening. So, I mean, it's just he's been a

209
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 2: great resource in terms of that just being able to

210
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 2: share experiences because you know, you don't really know as

211
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 2: a player. You don't really it's hard to sometimes get

212
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 2: all that you know as a young player. So when

213
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 2: you hear it from other guys, oh man, like you

214
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 2: can bank that maybe it might not happen for a

215
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 2: couple of years, but you know, you remember that story.

216
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 1: I know I certainly do as a player being in.

217
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,079
Speaker 2: There with you know, Josh McCown and Mike Glennon and

218
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 2: you know even one of my time in Philadelphia with

219
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 2: Michael Vick or you know, with Brady when I was

220
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 2: in New England and Vince Youngbick. I can go down

221
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 2: the list of this the stories that you talked through

222
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 2: in the quarterback room that you bank, Oh my god,

223
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 2: I remember that happened to sell and so so you know,

224
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 2: maybe you're more prepared for another situation if it comes

225
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 2: up
