1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,040
Speaker 1: Everyone will be doing some work today. I'm sorry, he's

2
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:08,039
Speaker 1: gonna do some work today. So let's evaluated after after today.

3
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 1: Just today, how's Jackson looked. Yeah, he's had a couple

4
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:20,320
Speaker 1: of good days put together. You know, no more important

5
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:22,760
Speaker 1: than today in the red zone. So it's a good

6
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 1: emphasis for us. We got some good some new stuff

7
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 1: in excuse me, So we're working through some of those

8
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 1: mechanics and details. But he's doing a good job.

9
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 2: Right.

10
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:36,480
Speaker 3: How much you can handle Jackson differently in game, if

11
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 3: at all coming off for concussion.

12
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:41,280
Speaker 1: You're certainly you know, you're mindful of it and you

13
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:43,199
Speaker 1: understand that. But I think you know, the game will

14
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:45,919
Speaker 1: kind of declare itself and you know, get into the game.

15
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 1: We have our openers, things that we like early in

16
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:49,479
Speaker 1: the game, so we'll roll with those and then be

17
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:51,159
Speaker 1: able to adjust as the kind of the flow of

18
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:52,200
Speaker 1: the game determines itself.

19
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 4: Wow, we're think stame with the debo. I think he's

20
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 4: been limited all week. Got to it out for a while.

21
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 4: Just what's his outlook for this week?

22
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, he looks, he looked good, had a good day yesterday.

23
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 1: So we'll continue to get some work today and then

24
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 1: you know, we'll make a call, you know, kind of

25
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 1: after how today it works out.

26
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 2: I don't have the exact number, but your opening drive

27
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,319
Speaker 2: touchdown rate has to be through the roof. And I

28
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 2: just heard you say the word you have your open

29
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 2: ears that you're like, why do you think that is?

30
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 2: Why are you guys so successful getting in the end

31
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,320
Speaker 2: zone on first possessions.

32
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 1: It just goes back to the players just being dialed

33
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: into what, you know, the early part of the game.

34
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 1: You know, starting fast and then going out there and executing.

35
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,680
Speaker 1: You know, they're just doing a nice job of executing. Continue,

36
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: It's the same drives whether it's on third down or

37
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: on fourth down, and then you get opportunities in the

38
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: red zone. They're just doing a good job of executing.

39
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 1: So hats off to those guys for making it making

40
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,040
Speaker 1: it work, and then hats off to the coaching staff.

41
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 1: We'll getting the other a good plan that they can

42
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:44,399
Speaker 1: go execute fast.

43
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 4: Talking about Jackson's TK was talking about jackson situational awareness.

44
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 2: How have you seen him grow into that and that development?

45
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, you see it. You see it from week

46
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 1: to week. Each each week that he started, it's grown

47
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: and grown and grown. And then you know, really. You know,

48
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: the last time he played in Chicago, there were some

49
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: of those examples of his situation where he's third down,

50
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: where he need to get down, when he needed to

51
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 1: get a first down, when he knew to make a

52
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: big play with his feet or with his arm and scramble.

53
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 1: So you know, he's continued to build off of that.

54
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 1: He's watching the veteran guys who stepped in while he

55
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 1: was out and watched James do the same thing and

56
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: continue to learn and grow. But as a young player,

57
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 1: that's you're you're absorbing all of those experiences and continue

58
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:26,079
Speaker 1: to build your own game.

59
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,519
Speaker 4: What have you seen him pick up from Jams? I

60
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:30,839
Speaker 4: guess have you talked about what he saw off from.

61
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 1: Well, you know when you're when you watch the tape

62
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 1: and you look at the corrections or look at the

63
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: things that James did really well, whether it was the

64
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 1: fourth and tent scramble with his legs, you know at

65
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 1: the end of the game, or you know, stepping up

66
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: and delivering a shot when there's you know, defenders right

67
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 1: in your face. You know, those are this experience he

68
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 1: can continue to see and watch how the veterans rack

69
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: to those type of plays and then you know, build

70
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: it and kind of work it within himself and how

71
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:53,919
Speaker 1: he would do in those situations.

72
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,399
Speaker 4: The third week in this role, I'm sure that first

73
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 4: week was probably kind of crazy. I don't know as

74
00:02:58,120 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 4: it settled down, like where, like, what is this experience

75
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,079
Speaker 4: been like for you? Come taking over in midstream?

76
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: Like this, it's been, It's been. It's been a great

77
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 1: experience so far, just being able to deal with everybody

78
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 1: and work with everybody together and kind of get everyone

79
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: on the same page as best I can. And you know,

80
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: today's today's a super important day. You know, I haven't

81
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: had a lot of time to reflect on the whole experience,

82
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: but you know, today's a super important day. I'm excited

83
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 1: for the players to come out here and work through

84
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 1: the red zone game plan.

85
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,919
Speaker 4: You've interviewed for a bunch of jobs, you've obviously thought of.

86
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:26,639
Speaker 4: It would be like if you became head coach. How

87
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 4: different is it though? When you take you can't change

88
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 4: as much obviously as you probably would like. When you're

89
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 4: you know, coming in on the fly like this, how

90
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 4: you try to balance what you do change what you

91
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:34,239
Speaker 4: just acted.

92
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no, that's that's good thought. Because I've you

93
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: try and take little bits and pieces, And again, I

94
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: guess one of the biggest intent that we had was

95
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: not just the change, just because it was just having

96
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: a really intent and it was all built around just

97
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 1: the players and how we can maximize the football time

98
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 1: in the building and eliminate some of the dead time

99
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 1: and time where you know, it's not meeting time or whatever, like,

100
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: let's just really confine it and make it really, really

101
00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: efficient for our players. When they're in the building, it's

102
00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 1: a ball, it's all football, it's getting your body right,

103
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 1: and then it's all ball we're on the practice field,

104
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 1: we get off the practice field right into meetings, going

105
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: through the corrections and getting those things cleaned up. So

106
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: that was really my focus and emphasis, and you know,

107
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: took bits and pieces from places I've been in the

108
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: past and just try to make it a little bit

109
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 1: cleaner in my opinion, for the players.

110
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 3: The changing of the defensive coordinators, how much has that

111
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 3: shifted your time and your energy to certain places throughout

112
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 3: this week maybe and compared to the past too.

113
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'd say it's similar. Just you know, as I'm

114
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:30,840
Speaker 1: working through it myself, I'm learning a little bit more

115
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 1: about myself and how I want to organize that a

116
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: little bit better. So I'm trying to be more efficient

117
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,719
Speaker 1: with my time. Of course, I still have to stay

118
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,039
Speaker 1: on top of all the offensive stuff, but being able

119
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:41,919
Speaker 1: there and just go and communicate with the special teams

120
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: coordinator defensive coordinator, like just talk through what's in the game,

121
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: and just kind of touch base as we get through,

122
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 1: you know, kind of each night, late late at night,

123
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 1: just touch base with each other and make sure we're

124
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 1: on the same page. But yeah, I'm working through that

125
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 1: myself and continue to get better at it.

126
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 3: About cave on either this is I think it's started

127
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 3: a fourth game. How's he doing? And it is just

128
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 3: something that might shut him down for the season At

129
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:04,600
Speaker 3: this point.

130
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: I think it's too soon to tell. I think he's

131
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: working his tail off to get back and get better,

132
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 1: and our doctors are taking care of him. And again

133
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: he's he's attacking. I see him in the building getting

134
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: the rehab. So he's working his tail off to get

135
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 1: back in better force.

136
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 2: The veto will be on the other team. You've worked

137
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 2: with first round picks, You've worked with veteran guys. Obviously

138
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 2: his story was a little bit unique. What was that

139
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 2: like and what do you see him as in this

140
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 2: league going forward?

141
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean the Vito's di Vidos, in my opinions,

142
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: is a starter in this league. He does a nice job.

143
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,720
Speaker 1: He's always been he has started in this league, so

144
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 1: of course I see him that way. What a great

145
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 1: person what a great personality. Always brought energy to the room,

146
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,839
Speaker 1: brought energy to the group, rough energy to the offense.

147
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: You know, a guy that I'm proud of for where

148
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 1: he began, you know, as a tryout type guy and

149
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: stepping up and kind of being in the room and

150
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 1: learning to be a pro. And then when he got

151
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 1: his opportunity, he took advantage of it and you know

152
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: once in big games. One once some once in big

153
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: games for us and a lot of great memories with

154
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: the Vita.

155
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,039
Speaker 4: What do you remember, first of like your first encounters

156
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 4: with him?

157
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,719
