1
00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:04,600
Speaker 1: We'll start with, UM, you're I'm really proud of the team. Staff.

2
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:07,680
Speaker 1: The team you know obviously got a you know, a

3
00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:10,879
Speaker 1: couple of tough weeks, but you know, I thought those

4
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:13,680
Speaker 1: guys really competed well all week in terms of preparation

5
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:22,960
Speaker 1: and um studying. UM obviously had some moving parts, Um

6
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 1: that we were dealing with new guys coming on a team,

7
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 1: not sure about the availability some other players. Some plays

8
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 1: I didn't but just you know, the overall um resiliency

9
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:38,199
Speaker 1: and determination that that the team, uh, you know, as

10
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 1: a group. In the staff show, I thought it was

11
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:43,599
Speaker 1: really really good this week and uh so battled all

12
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:47,160
Speaker 1: the way through it. Um you know, big big plays

13
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 1: in the game, UM, like they always are. It was

14
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 1: good to come out on the positive side of them today.

15
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 1: And you know, we'll see what happens next week. But UM,

16
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: you know, Minami is what kind of what we thought

17
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 1: they were, you know, explosive team. They certainly caused some

18
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 1: problems and UM, you know, we were just able to

19
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 1: make enough plays to you know, enough plays to win.

20
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: And so it's good. It's a good feeling. Um it's

21
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 1: been a while since we beat them, so it's definitely good.

22
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: Finally get on the right side of that ledger. Yah,

23
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: I bill, um, how big of a spark was was

24
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 1: Kyle and what he was able to do there for

25
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: the entire team seemed to wake the stadium up a

26
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,040
Speaker 1: little bit too. And it's a second and third three weeks.

27
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 1: How difficult is that to do from your perspective and

28
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 1: explain to us what Kyle has the ability to do? Yeah, well,

29
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,199
Speaker 1: I mean is it was a great play a little

30
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: bit like uh, you know Marcus's play. Um, you know

31
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: it was a great run. You know, the interception was

32
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: you know, it was a good play and a good

33
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: catch and all that. But uh, you know, he made

34
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 1: a lot of yards on his own, um, like I said,

35
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: like Marcus did last week, you know, breaking tackles there

36
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: at midfield or four yard line whatever it was, and

37
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: cutting back. But yeah, we all know Kyle's a very

38
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: very explosive athletic players. You know, just done a great

39
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 1: job for us jamming receivers, playing a run, tackling, making

40
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: big plays and you know when he gets his hands

41
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:16,839
Speaker 1: on the ball, he's you know, he's a hard guy

42
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 1: to you know, to get and there's not many guys

43
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: out there. We're gonna catch him from behind on offense. Um,

44
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 1: so you know what was the destroyed scoop and score

45
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,919
Speaker 1: play or you know his interceptions here he's had the

46
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:32,079
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks or the last few weeks. Yeah,

47
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: it's really helped us. There's a big play with Hopkins,

48
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 1: you know, knocking the ball off him. Um. You know

49
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: for the fumble in Arizona that McMillan got, So you

50
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: know he's been involved in a lot of those big

51
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: plays and um, it's obviously really helped us. Bill, you

52
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 1: touched on a little bit, but just the resiliency of

53
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: this group after a couple of tough weeks. The guys

54
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: were just saying how nice it was to come out

55
00:02:55,919 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: on today with their backs really against the wall. That's

56
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 1: I think that's that sums it up. That's a good,

57
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 1: good feeling. Guys worked hard and you know we have

58
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 1: something to show for it here today. So that's a

59
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 1: good thing. Bill. Was a new Year's resolution this year

60
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 1: to get a win. Um, Yeah sure. Um. On the

61
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: the last offensive play before the kneel downs the throat

62
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,959
Speaker 1: of Jacoby Uh, David had said that the play that

63
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: Uh was executed was different from what was called what

64
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: did you see from what happened from the play call

65
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: to what was ultimately executed on the field, Like, what

66
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: did Mac change on that play with the throw of Jacoby?

67
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: All right, so the last offensive play before the kneel

68
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 1: down was the sack. Yeah, oh touchdowns Jacoby? Yeah. Uh,

69
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 1: they were in a goal on defense. We shifted out.

70
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: We had a couple options on the play, um. Jacoby

71
00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: was was obviously one of the options and um and

72
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: and Mac took that when there were there were some

73
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 1: other options on the play. I would say in practice,

74
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: it probably hasn't gone to him too many times, Um,

75
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: but Mac Max saw the matchup and similar to the

76
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: two point play that we hit um um last week

77
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:25,720
Speaker 1: whenever it was a couple of weeks ago against Oakland, Right, Yeah, different,

78
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 1: but kind of similar to that touch of one on

79
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 1: one play. You know, if it's just if he likes

80
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 1: the matchup, then he can go out there and then

81
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 1: that just trump's the other part of the play off

82
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: of that. What did you think of the job Mac

83
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,479
Speaker 1: did today, not just on that last scoring drive but

84
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 1: throughout the game. All right, Well, we were, um, you know,

85
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 1: a little inconsistent offensively, So there were some there were

86
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: some good things. Um, you know, Miami played quite a

87
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 1: bit of man coverage on the first drive and then uh,

88
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 1: and then Josh switched to the zone coverage with a

89
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 1: with a couple of blitzes. Uh. You know, he sprinkled

90
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: in a couple of blitzes, and you know, we didn't

91
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 1: do so well against that. And then we had a

92
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,039
Speaker 1: you know, a long drive and it's ninety yards whatever

93
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:13,480
Speaker 1: it was. Um convert a couple of third downs, Big

94
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 1: played a Jacoby and you know, one hundred had a

95
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: good day for us on third down as well overall

96
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: against man coverage. So they mixed it up pretty good

97
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: like they usually do. So Man and his own to

98
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: some some heavy blitz looks back to the zone and

99
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 1: a little bit of man third down. So you know,

100
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: we got them some, they got us some. You know,

101
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: that's kind of the way it goes there. They did

102
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 1: a good job mixing it up and and um, you know,

103
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: but we were able to convert enough to you know,

104
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:47,159
Speaker 1: combine with Kyle's score, you know, convert enough to win. Yeah,

105
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: just one the bigger picture with Jacoby, it feels like

106
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,919
Speaker 1: through the years he's evolved so much to fit what

107
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,840
Speaker 1: you guys need on offense, whether it's slot and now

108
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 1: he's really taking a step forward in the red zone too.

109
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:01,599
Speaker 1: What does that say about him? What is it said

110
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 1: about him over the last few years to do you

111
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 1: get this far? Yeah, well, Jacobs, you know, had a

112
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 1: career like um, some other players at that position have

113
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: had here. Um, you know Ricky free agent, wasn't drafted,

114
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: low expectations, came in, made the team. I'm really sure

115
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: how good it was going to be. Kept improving, kept working,

116
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 1: you know, quarterback, going to receiver. Um, you know, learned

117
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 1: a lot, you know, played with some other good players

118
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: than coaches, and he's worked hard and gotten better every

119
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 1: year and expanded what he can do. So whether it's

120
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 1: blocking the running game, you know, run option type routes,

121
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,839
Speaker 1: go down the field, you know, make plays in single

122
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 1: coverage outside. Um, you know, he's got a good feel,

123
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 1: he's good, good concentration, he's smart, he's tough. Um, He's

124
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 1: come through force a lot of big situations. But you know,

125
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: his progression has been pretty pretty steady inclinent since he's

126
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 1: since he got Here's a you know, coming out of

127
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:05,159
Speaker 1: college ency state, after you converted from quarterback to receiver.

128
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 1: It just works hard and you know, keeps grinding and

129
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: keep sitting bell increasing the front. On the sack that

130
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 1: Mac took and on the in the fourth quarter from

131
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: the twenty nine yard line, how much consideration was there

132
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 1: there to kicking in that situation? What was the thought

133
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 1: process to to not kick? I think it would have

134
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 1: been thoughts to try to pick up the first down

135
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 1: and was a long kick? How about the play? Like,

136
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 1: what was that the play that you wanted? There? Is

137
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 1: that the play we wanted? Yeah, we called the play right,

138
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 1: so you touched on a little bit off the top.

139
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: But how would you assess the way your your cornerbacks

140
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: in the secondary as a whole performed today with some

141
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 1: of those key pieces out, Yeah, played played really well

142
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 1: as a group. Um. I think that you know, are

143
00:07:56,440 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 1: more experienced players back there. Um obviously John Miles, Um,

144
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 1: you know, really did a good job of of not

145
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 1: only stepping up, but also you know, helping um. You know,

146
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 1: Tay and que Um, you know some of the communication

147
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 1: back there. I mean, our safeties are safeties. Played a

148
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 1: lot of safeties today, plad a lot of three safety

149
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 1: calls and some four safety calls where they're all in

150
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 1: the field together, um, you know, tried the jam the receivers.

151
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: I thought overall we did a decent job of that

152
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 1: and didn't give up a lot of explosive plays um,

153
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: which I mean they've had a lot of them, probably

154
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 1: as many as anybody in the league. Forty yard passes

155
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 1: and they've had a bunch of gone for you know,

156
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 1: sixty and seventy. So um, you know, did a good

157
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 1: job of of jamnl receivers, keeping the ball in front

158
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 1: of its converged on some third downs. But I thought

159
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 1: the leadership from the safety group plus John and Miles, um,

160
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 1: you know, was was just really good getting things organized

161
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 1: again as a team that used a lot of motion,

162
00:08:55,040 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: misdirection um you know, formation change up, different personnel groups

163
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:05,239
Speaker 1: between the tight ends, some two back sets, some fullback

164
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,439
Speaker 1: and half back, two half backs, three receivers, two receivers,

165
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 1: two receivers and Jessecki two receivers and not Jessecki. I

166
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 1: mean there's a lot of and then a lot of

167
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 1: movement on that. So um, those guys really did a

168
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 1: good job. We didn't really have a lot of coverage mistakes.

169
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 1: I mean they hit a few passes on us, of course,

170
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,080
Speaker 1: huldy do against everybody. A couple of pop passes and

171
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 1: play actions, but overall, you know, a lot of balls

172
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 1: went to the backs and on checkdowns and things like that,

173
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:32,839
Speaker 1: and those guys, you know, we're hard to tackle, but

174
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 1: at least we're able to keep the game, you know,

175
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 1: in our control that way. You know, anything's better than

176
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 1: sixty yard touchdowns. So you thought our secondary did a

177
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 1: good job, you know, Mike, Brian, Steve, you know, Garrod,

178
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,079
Speaker 1: those guys. And I thought our front played well too.

179
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,679
Speaker 1: You know, we handled a pretty you know, good running game.

180
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 1: We were competitive there and then we got some pressure

181
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,199
Speaker 1: on the quarterback. So you know, a good team defensive effort.

182
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:58,839
Speaker 1: Ragddard on the left, Bill on the Dugger interception. That's

183
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 1: a coverage you guys have and UM this year, but

184
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 1: the you know, new guys on the field, there's a

185
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 1: lot of moving parts on that play. UM. Is that

186
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 1: an example of you know, guys taking coaching over the

187
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: course of the season. UM, The coach is doing a

188
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 1: good job to come up with a play like that.

189
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 1: UM at the end of the season. Yeah, Well again,

190
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 1: I think the big thing is zone coverage is you know,

191
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,559
Speaker 1: having good awareness of the pattern and and uh, anytime

192
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: you get pressure on the quarterback and the quarterback didn't

193
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: have time to you know, look off and move the

194
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 1: defense and you get a good break on the ball

195
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 1: and you get a player like Kyle who's fast and long. Um,

196
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 1: you know some players that probably wouldn't would have been

197
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 1: able to quite get to that ball, you know, and

198
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 1: but he did. And um, like I said, it's a

199
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 1: big difference when he got his hands on it and

200
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 1: being able to run with it. But yeah, I mean

201
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 1: zone coverage is you know, it's all about discipline and

202
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,719
Speaker 1: you know, find a receivers, reading quarterback and getting a

203
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 1: good break on the ball. And you know Kyle did

204
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 1: all those. So we've we've used you know, a decent

205
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: amount of zone A man, we've been pretty even, i'd

206
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: say roughly on the mix is um a little more

207
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 1: man on third down, a little more zone on early downs,

208
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: but you know, enough of each to try to keep

209
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 1: the offense off balance. May bill, Um, there are there

210
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 1: are a couple of plays taykewon throw and mate today.

211
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 1: So what's your what's your thought down he's performance? Uh, yeah,

212
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 1: well he's certainly you know, has helped us. It's good

213
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 1: to have him. Um, you know he came back earlier

214
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 1: in the year, but he missed so much time earlier,

215
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 1: took a little while to really you know, catch up

216
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 1: on some things. But you know, he's an explosive player

217
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 1: that can you know, attack the vertical part of the

218
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 1: defense and you know it's fast with un after catch

219
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 1: opportunities and things like that. But um, I don't like

220
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 1: any rookie, there's always room for improven. There's things that

221
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 1: he needs to work on and can do better. But

222
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 1: he certainly helps us. And he's a big target and um,

223
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,680
Speaker 1: you know obviously the quarterbacks, Mac likes the throat to

224
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 1: him and big fast guys quarterback friendly. Um. But yeah,

225
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: he's made some big plays for us and and he

226
00:11:57,960 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: opens up some other things because it was a Bill

227
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 1: day to you know, stress the field vertically. So hopefully

228
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 1: we can get all want some more going forward. Bill,

229
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 1: you kind of touched on this when you were talking

230
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 1: about the leadership of Miles and John and the safeties

231
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: as well this week. Devin just spoke a few minutes ago,

232
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,439
Speaker 1: and he did say that he's thought about the possibility

233
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:20,960
Speaker 1: that this could have been his last home game, and

234
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 1: I'm curious as many times you've talked about him, and

235
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 1: as many times as you will talk about him in

236
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 1: the future, like today in particular, given the circumstances with

237
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 1: the secondary of this week, how valuable his leadership has

238
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 1: been to get you to this point where you're playing

239
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 1: for a playoff spot next week. Yeah, I think you've

240
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:42,439
Speaker 1: captured it pretty well, Bob. That's that's really what it is.

241
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 1: I mean, Devin, you know, it's done about everything a

242
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 1: player could do for this program. And he'd say the

243
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 1: same thing about Matt Slater in a kicking game, you know.

244
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,559
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if there's ever been or

245
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 1: ever going to be a better player than Matts later

246
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 1: as an overall special teams player, and the leadership that

247
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 1: he's brought to the team along with Devin. You know,

248
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:05,319
Speaker 1: Devin came in as a corner and went to the

249
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl and moved to safety, you know, led the

250
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 1: defense from a safety position from his second year on

251
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 1: is off the field leadership. On the field, leadership is

252
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 1: superior as good as anybody, um, you know, I've ever

253
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 1: coached at that position. He does everything right. He's done

254
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 1: everything right since he's been here. He knows the line calls,

255
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 1: he knows the he knows the defense inside now sou

256
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 1: and he has total respect from everybody because of his

257
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 1: preparation and and his unselfish play. And the same thing

258
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 1: for Slater. I mean, you know, I don't know if

259
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 1: he was here either the same question, but probably. But

260
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:44,679
Speaker 1: you know, what those two guys have done, what they

261
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 1: mean to this organization, what they mean to me personally,

262
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: what they've done here is it's a pretty pretty impressive,

263
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 1: pretty elite. So you know, sure Devin would like to

264
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 1: head one more inception on the Leisure today, but you know,

265
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:05,680
Speaker 1: he gave us again a lot of You just don't

266
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 1: see a lot of the great plays that he makes,

267
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 1: or the communication or the adjustments that he makes. And

268
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 1: when we have to change coverages and make coverage adjustments,

269
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 1: it always runs through him. Um, you know, the front

270
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:17,839
Speaker 1: runs through you know a lot of times Bentley and

271
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 1: sometimes the safe down safeties, but all the coverage adjustments

272
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 1: run through him. And so you know, it's like having

273
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 1: a truly having a coach on the field and having

274
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 1: somebody that can see a problem, fix it or at least,

275
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 1: you know, take us out of a problem because of

276
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 1: whatever they've subtly the formation or whatever it happens to be.

277
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 1: That that he's got great judgment, great decision making. His

278
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 1: decisions are quick, they're decisive, and they're they're almost always right.

279
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 1: But you know, any decision is a bad decision if

280
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 1: you're hesitant and everybody doesn't get it. So making sure

281
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 1: that we're all on the same page, that's that's always

282
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 1: number one. So yeah, he's he's a special one. He's

283
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 1: a special one. All right, Red, thank you, Okay,
