1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,960
Speaker 1: Welcome into the game plan logan our last game of

2
00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:05,880
Speaker 1: the regular season and it's against the Cowboys. We catch

3
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:08,440
Speaker 1: up with hit coach Dan Quinn and talk about today's matchup.

4
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:09,959
Speaker 2: And you know how we in the show. It's the

5
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 2: must watch matchups.

6
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 1: We in the show with that against the Dallas Cowboys,

7
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:15,200
Speaker 1: all that walks on the game plan.

8
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:25,079
Speaker 2: Welcome you in.

9
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 1: Head coach Dan Quinn. Clinched the playoffs. That's something some

10
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 1: people never get to do. You did it in your

11
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 1: first year. How great does that feel? And what does

12
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 1: that say about what this team's doing this year?

13
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,959
Speaker 3: Well, this is a fun team to coach, and they

14
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 3: are tough. They battle for it in a lot of ways.

15
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,559
Speaker 3: And in this game, I thought, what a great demonstration

16
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 3: of brotherhood of guys stepping into spaces to make plays.

17
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 2: We knew this would be a hard game.

18
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,160
Speaker 3: We knew Atlanta was absolutely back to the wall going

19
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 3: for it, and so we were going to have a

20
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 3: five quarter mindset going into it, and sure enough, it

21
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 3: went into that extra session. Sometimes we just say that,

22
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 3: but this we meant it.

23
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you've you've done it a couple of times

24
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 4: in it was Seattle Atlanta. What are some similarities with

25
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 4: those teams, maybe in this one that kind of say, hey,

26
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 4: this team or the structure of this team is built

27
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:10,960
Speaker 4: the right way.

28
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 3: For me being along the journey with everybody and to

29
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,839
Speaker 3: see the leaders lead and have high standards logan about

30
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 3: how you practice, how you meet, how you do walkthroughs,

31
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 3: and those things matter, man. They carry over into the

32
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:29,119
Speaker 3: games and knowing that they're willing to make the sacrifices

33
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 3: that's needed to play well and teammate to teammate. You've

34
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 3: seen that what it looks like, what it feels like.

35
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 3: And so there's a lot of players on this team

36
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 3: that sacrifice a lot knowing that they're willing to give

37
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:42,119
Speaker 3: it up for one another.

38
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 1: And coach, we talk a lot about those winning time moments. Yes,

39
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 1: so you're heading into overtime at home, what is your

40
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: message to these guys to get their mindset right for

41
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 1: that overtime drab.

42
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 3: You know, going out when you're in overtime, obviously you

43
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 3: want the ball. So we're going to take that first.

44
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 3: If you get a chance to go and score, and

45
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 3: that's the game. So we're going to be pretty aggressive

46
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 3: into that spot if we had our chances to be

47
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 3: and I thought jaden Man in that drive alone was

48
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 3: just on it and like all the way down the

49
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:12,920
Speaker 3: field and we took a time out at the end,

50
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 3: I could see him and Marcus talking their communication together

51
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,639
Speaker 3: and an absolute rip to Zach. So those winning time

52
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 3: moments we practice him a lot, knowing that you know

53
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 3: what could happen, what's the scenario, what's the situation, and

54
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:27,639
Speaker 3: being comfortable in those spots that's a big deal.

55
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 4: And so again you probably practiced two minutes quite a

56
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 4: bit third down, you know he's second and long. But

57
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 4: how much do you talk about or practice overtime scenario

58
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 4: because I was thinking back to when I played, and

59
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 4: I don't know if we we talked about I don't

60
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 4: if we did it that much.

61
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 3: We did it two weeks ago going into Philadelphia, and

62
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,640
Speaker 3: we did an overtime as part of our two minute

63
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 3: at the end to say this isn't fast. You know,

64
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:55,919
Speaker 3: this is irregular because in the overtime ten minute period,

65
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 3: there's a two minute that would come up at the end,

66
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 3: just like a quarter, you get two time out. There's

67
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 3: no challenge for me, only from the booth. So going

68
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 3: through those will be good and in a few weeks

69
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 3: will adjust those guidelines for what it means in the playoffs,

70
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 3: because it's not the same regulations in the regular season

71
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 3: as is in the postseason. So we'll wait till then

72
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 3: until we discuss those. But yeah, we stay on a

73
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:19,119
Speaker 3: pretty regular case.

74
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:20,679
Speaker 2: That fantastic.

75
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's we just want the guys feel comfortable in

76
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 3: those spots and.

77
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: Culture as we turn the page to today's game. Dallas

78
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 1: a tough place to play, as you know, what is

79
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,080
Speaker 1: the biggest key to finding success here in Dallas?

80
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:33,959
Speaker 3: You know, it's a It is a tough environment. The

81
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 3: fans are fantastic in Dallas. They long time tradition, you know,

82
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 3: there with the team, So it can get loud, and

83
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 3: that if you can handle the noise, you know, that's

84
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 3: then it's an even playing field. And so that's usually

85
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 3: the trick when you play at a stadium that can

86
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 3: get rocking to go, you gotta be able to handle

87
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 3: the noise.

88
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 4: And so much of that is probably predicated on being

89
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 4: effective offensively and you're going to be quiet, right like?

90
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 4: And how important is that going to be.

91
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 3: In different snap counts and different cadence is and different

92
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 3: silent counts. And the offensive line is really at the

93
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 3: front of that, and they have their ways, different silent ways,

94
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 3: and so.

95
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 2: We'll work through that all through the week.

96
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 3: Knowing that there'll be some times when you know, no cadence,

97
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 3: no clap everything on socier and we'll need that. But

98
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 3: like I said, the offensive line, quarterbacks, everybody, we have

99
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 3: our ways and we do that sometimes and walk through.

100
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,919
Speaker 3: There is no verbal communication, you know on these next

101
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 3: you know plays, and so we try to make it

102
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 3: loud at practice, but nothing can simulate, you know, an

103
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 3: in game environment.

104
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 4: So when I was with you in Atlanta, you guys

105
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,280
Speaker 4: did something and I always credit it to Matt Ryan,

106
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,479
Speaker 4: but maybe it's yours where he would whisper for walkthrough,

107
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 4: So yes, he'd whisper the cadence, he'd whisper the snapcount.

108
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 4: Is that is that something you've brought from him? Or

109
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 4: who gave you that? Greg nap Yeah, Greg nap Man.

110
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 3: And so make the people listen, make them engage to

111
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 3: pay attention. And you can see it on TV at

112
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 3: a stadium when everybody is putting their helmet into the huddle,

113
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 3: not this way, but really trying to dig in and listen.

114
00:04:58,080 --> 00:04:59,919
Speaker 3: And I don't know if there's one, you know stadium this

115
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 3: ticks out one to another for you where you had

116
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 3: to put your help and those are ones that you

117
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 3: have to be ready for that and Dallas is one

118
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 3: of those spots.

119
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:11,479
Speaker 1: It seems like every week we watch our defense and

120
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: they continue to improve. Big, big moments are happening. Qualm

121
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: Martin's an interception to start the game was huge. How

122
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: can our defense continue to approve today?

123
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:19,239
Speaker 2: Against Dallas?

124
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 3: We thought, you know, getting a fast start would be

125
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 3: a big deal for us, and so they decided to

126
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,600
Speaker 3: take the ball talking about Atlanta to you know, on

127
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 3: the opening drive and so to get the interception early

128
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 3: and then go get a touchdown, we call that making

129
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,359
Speaker 3: them pay. You know, here's the takeaway and then you

130
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 3: go get you know, the touchdown and get points off

131
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:37,160
Speaker 3: of it.

132
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 2: So that was an important start for us.

133
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 3: That's starting fast, and anytime you can get that kind

134
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 3: of momentum going early, that's a big deal for your team.

135
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 4: And so not easy to get the interception, but you

136
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 4: had two sacks, which again, like I think they're really

137
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,479
Speaker 4: cool plays because the coverage is supporting the rush and

138
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 4: the rush is kind of coming to life. How do

139
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 4: you kind of build off some of that stuff that

140
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 4: the guys did well.

141
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,479
Speaker 3: I love the use of the stunts and game. And

142
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:02,719
Speaker 3: two of the sacks caused fumbles and we didn't get

143
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 3: the ball. And so I love when we hit it

144
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:07,720
Speaker 3: in a sack because anytime you knock the ball out,

145
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 3: that is a sack. And so both Dante and Dornce

146
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 3: both got it, and so we got to make sure

147
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 3: that you can, you know, finish that play with getting

148
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:20,359
Speaker 3: the ball out, but having rushers, you know, when the

149
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 3: space is there, beat Chip plans do things. We'll need

150
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 3: you be at our best again, you know at Dallas and.

151
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 2: Coach you got Jonathan Allen back.

152
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 1: And on pregame, our pregame show, we have the camera

153
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: on the field and we see this big scrum, this breakdown,

154
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,359
Speaker 1: and in the middle of it is Jonathan Allen getting

155
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: the boys right.

156
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 2: His first game back. How important is it to have

157
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 2: him back and how did he help this team?

158
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's honestly, it's great to have him back because

159
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,039
Speaker 3: you're adding another player with that type of style and

160
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 3: attitude that he can bring to the team. And so

161
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 3: we had a certain you know, amount of snaps that

162
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 3: you know, we allotted him to play in this game.

163
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 3: As he's on his way back and we'll do, you know,

164
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 3: a little bit more as we're going into Dallas. But

165
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 3: just having his presence back and his strength back, Yeah,

166
00:06:58,640 --> 00:06:59,280
Speaker 3: it's really cool.

167
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 4: And you know, I think it kind of allowed you

168
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,479
Speaker 4: to use some guys in some different ways. You know,

169
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 4: Praying gets to play defensive end, Holmes comes in, plays

170
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 4: in and just some different packages. And I'm sure that

171
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 4: flexibility is helpful, right, And I think his presence helps

172
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 4: out helps him.

173
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 3: It does because it does allow you to mix and

174
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 3: match when you want to load up on the run

175
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 3: or change it up into a certain group to pass.

176
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 3: And so having him back, you know, because he got

177
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 3: injured against Baltimore, so it's been a long time.

178
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 2: So to get him back in the in the rhythm. Man,

179
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 2: he's he's really worked.

180
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 1: Hard and Coach, We've talked to other players and they've

181
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: said that his presence was still felt even when he

182
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 1: wasn't around. How impressed were you by John than because

183
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 1: you know, this is your first time getting to work

184
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 1: with him, seeing him and how he handled being injured.

185
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 2: And still stay so involved with this team.

186
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, he had a very good demeanor throughout and oftentimes

187
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 3: when you're injured there's a really high and low emotional

188
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 3: you know cost that goes with that.

189
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 2: You know, you feel detached.

190
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 3: From the team when you're not playing, and so the

191
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 3: fact that there was a hook at the end to

192
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 3: say you can come back, that was a big deal

193
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 3: because oftentimes that injury can be season ending and that's

194
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 3: sometimes the hardest one for a ball players would know

195
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 3: as a teammate er, this season's done. You don't get

196
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 3: to come back. And he had a sense that this

197
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 3: was a crew that you know, had a lot to

198
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 3: play for, and so having that hook out there to say,

199
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 3: if you hit all these markers, you know, then you

200
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 3: got a shot to come do it, and man, he

201
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 3: hit them all and then some.

202
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 1: And coach Logan touched on how our defensive guys have

203
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 1: all been ready to that next man up mentality, but

204
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 1: on the offense we see the same thing. C rot

205
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 1: all the media guys are stepping up. As a coach,

206
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 1: how do you keep these guys ready and prepared.

207
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 2: For when the numbers called?

208
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 3: You know, we have one standard and so if Logan

209
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 3: was a tight end, it's not just the three guys

210
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 3: that are up, you know, Cole Turner also has to

211
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 3: be ready and so everybody in that room has the

212
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 3: responsibility ready. You just don't know when your numbers called.

213
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 3: So whether that's a running back at offensive line, it's

214
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 3: not just the forty eight that are playing. We have

215
00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 3: a seventy man roster, including all the practice squad, and

216
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 3: so every one of those seventy if called upon, they

217
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 3: have to be ready to deliver. So they get reps

218
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 3: at practice, they're quizzed in the same way. So there's

219
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 3: no red shirting here. You've got to be ready. Not

220
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 3: to say everybody plays, but you do have to be ready.

221
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 4: Is there anybody that surprised you with how they've been

222
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 4: able to stay ready because it's tough.

223
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 3: It's really hard. And Chris Rodriguez comes to mind where

224
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,559
Speaker 3: he started off, you know, practice squad, not a lot

225
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 3: of reps to go, so he would be one that

226
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 3: absolutely jumps out to me. On the defensive side, I

227
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 3: would say Michael Walker, although he hasn't played a lot,

228
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 3: he's done a lot on teams. He practices, he's got command,

229
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,719
Speaker 3: he can make the calls to go. That would be

230
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 3: another one. So Carl Davis thought, and you know, three

231
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 3: turns for him to come up off the practice squad

232
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 3: played square and strong, and so there's a number of

233
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:56,199
Speaker 3: players that you know, when called upon, they're really ready

234
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 3: to deliver. And it's a big responsibility. And so I

235
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 3: don't view our team as a team and then a

236
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 3: practice squad.

237
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 2: It's just one roster.

238
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 3: I don't differentiate that some are just inactive for the games.

239
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: And I think one thing that's probably surprised a lot

240
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 1: of people was the strength of zach Ertz and what

241
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 1: he's been able to do this he's especially how he's

242
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,679
Speaker 1: finished this season. What are you seeing from him that

243
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 1: we don't see on the field, in the locker rooms,

244
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:22,680
Speaker 1: in the weight rooms. What is the work he's doing

245
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 1: to be able to still play at such a high level.

246
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:24,959
Speaker 2: You know what.

247
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,680
Speaker 3: He's been a man on a mission for the whole time,

248
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 3: and last season didn't go well for him. Wasn't sure

249
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,200
Speaker 3: where his career was even going to go and would

250
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 3: he be able to play still, And so coming here

251
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 3: took a leap of faith and Adam and myself, but

252
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 3: he also really put the work in. We knew he

253
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 3: was a good route runner, and would he have a

254
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:47,680
Speaker 3: role in the red zone and on third down? And

255
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 3: he did, and then some and built it more into

256
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 3: the offense and more, and he's got great standards about him.

257
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 3: He's been an excellent teammate to these other tight ends

258
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 3: to the quarterback, and so he is really taken advantage

259
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 3: of this op and really made an impact on our team.

260
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:06,080
Speaker 4: But you can tell that with how he runs routes

261
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 4: and his preparation all that stuff. But the thing that

262
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 4: surprised me in the game was, I don't think you

263
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 4: had fifty six yards in him still like like that.

264
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 4: So it's great to see him kind of make that happen, you.

265
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 2: Know what I mean?

266
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, we uh, we give him a little, you know while,

267
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:26,439
Speaker 3: but his presence is felt. He's got honestly command like

268
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 3: you logan, really like he can think like a quarterback.

269
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:29,959
Speaker 3: Why is my split here? What if I was out here?

270
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 3: He can see the game from the view of his

271
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 3: helmet differently, and not everybody can do that, but he can.

272
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 3: He has a wide vision, man, He sees a lot

273
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 3: and he's able to articulate it be in the right spots.

274
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 2: Very quarterback friendly, very.

275
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 1: Quarterback friendly coast is crazy to say this, but we

276
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: are at our regular season finale, lesson with a season,

277
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 1: what has been your message to the guys to finish

278
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: out this season strong before the playoffs.

279
00:11:54,960 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 3: We fight the matters on man all one day.

280
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:02,079
Speaker 4: You're gonna get it.

281
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 2: I feel love it. I love the vestage. I need

282
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 2: it every time you try to sneak that one into real.

283
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 2: So what about this week, Coach.

284
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:11,959
Speaker 3: Let's just you know, roll the ball out there and

285
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 3: see what happened. We got we left a lot uh

286
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 3: on the field, we thought in our last game, and

287
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 3: so we feel like we got a number of things

288
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,320
Speaker 3: for us to work on. And if we play like

289
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 3: we're capable of, then anybody anywhere, anytime. But we got

290
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 3: to work to do to be able to you know,

291
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 3: play like we're capable that nobody has to put the

292
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,079
Speaker 3: kpe on. But we got to do what we do

293
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 3: collectively really well.

294
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 1: Coach, a huge game today. Can't wait to see you

295
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 1: guys play. But before we do that, you and Logan

296
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 1: got to get in that field. We'll appreciate your coach,

297
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:42,679
Speaker 1: all right, thanks guys.

298
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 2: Commanded family, We know you are enjoying the game plan.

299
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 1: However, if you want to see Coach and Logan Paul

300
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 1: said break down plays in the film room, you could

301
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 1: check that out on the Commander's YouTube page.

302
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:03,439
Speaker 2: Logan is always our ticket to a win. Are these

303
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 2: must watch masters?

304
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 1: And you only got like thirty seconds, So I'm gonna give.

305
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 2: You one, brother. It's the very first one right here. Yeah.

306
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 2: I love this.

307
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 4: Michael Parsons versus the offensive line, And to me, this

308
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:12,839
Speaker 4: is maybe the thing that makes the game when you

309
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 4: look at the first match of this guy, obviously defensive

310
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 4: Player of the Year caliber player, but they moved him

311
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:19,440
Speaker 4: all around the front. He played in and he played tackle,

312
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 4: play knows and everybody had to kind of find a

313
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 4: way in a one on one matchup to deal with him.

314
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 4: Can Cliff, can they work on a technique scheme to
