1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,040 Speaker 1: To the level that defense was playing early in the season. 2 00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:06,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, there's definitely a way to do that, you know, 3 00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:07,000 Speaker 2: but it's collective. 4 00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:11,400 Speaker 3: It's myself, you know, obviously putting guys in best situation 5 00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:13,360 Speaker 3: and execution. 6 00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:15,360 Speaker 2: So yeah, there's absolutely a way to do that. 7 00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:21,200 Speaker 3: Get I think some of the things that that we're 8 00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:24,080 Speaker 3: doing is always you know, there's all game plans are different, 9 00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:26,799 Speaker 3: but we gotta find a way to get better there. 10 00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:28,840 Speaker 3: And I always put that on myself, you know what 11 00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:30,400 Speaker 3: I mean, you're coordinating the unit. We got to be 12 00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:32,839 Speaker 3: better there. That's the way I look at it. So 13 00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:35,040 Speaker 3: we gotta have a good plan to do that this 14 00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:37,400 Speaker 3: week because the guy we're playing is elusive in the pocket. 15 00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:39,320 Speaker 3: Uh has done a great job with his feet his 16 00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:42,360 Speaker 3: whole career and certainly this year. So we got to 17 00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:44,520 Speaker 3: be locked in, be disciplined in the rush and trying 18 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:49,560 Speaker 3: to affect him here on Sunday. 19 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:49,680 Speaker 4: Is obviously been inside outside for you guys. 20 00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:52,400 Speaker 5: Just what did sure you guys in Sunday particular, they 21 00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:53,880 Speaker 5: give you guys have much conference? 22 00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:58,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think Jarian came up with a huge player 23 00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,640 Speaker 3: earlier and to me, that was a really detailed rep 24 00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,560 Speaker 3: within what we were asking him to do uh on the 25 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:08,119 Speaker 3: snap and just a majority of the game. I felt 26 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 3: like he did a really good job for us. I 27 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:11,760 Speaker 3: thought he had a good summer for us, you know. 28 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 3: I think he's grown a lot. Like you said, we 29 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 3: played him inside outside, so he does multiple things for us, 30 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,320 Speaker 3: and I think he's done a good job since he's 31 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 3: been in there so far. 32 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 2: What's type of guy is Craig won Walker in a 33 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:28,480 Speaker 2: off the field like a great dude. 34 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,480 Speaker 3: He's the team first guy, works his heads off every day, 35 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,039 Speaker 3: but like a great human being, you know what I mean. 36 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:40,039 Speaker 3: He's a hard guy not to love, and he's got 37 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:41,480 Speaker 3: such a team first mentality. 38 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,039 Speaker 2: He's played through injury, as. 39 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 3: You guys know, and he's done a great job you know, 40 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 3: for us, top to bottom. And I know he was 41 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,400 Speaker 3: in on a few the other day, so I think 42 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 3: that's coming for him. 43 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 2: And he's a great dude. 44 00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 3: I think he probably impacts him more than he would 45 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 3: tell you know, here and there, but I think he's 46 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 3: done a good job with it. I've seen a couple 47 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 3: other guys deal with a similar injury, and I think 48 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 3: Trey's done as good a job as anybody I've been 49 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 3: around with that type of injury. It's just hard when 50 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 3: you're playing d line. But I think he's you know, 51 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,080 Speaker 3: going out there giving us a great effort, one hundred 52 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,840 Speaker 3: percent effort and making some plays for us, uh through 53 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 3: the injury. 54 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 2: Tough kid. Uh. 55 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 3: You know, he's on tilt one hundred percent of the time, 56 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 3: so uh, he's running around all the time. 57 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,120 Speaker 2: He's a tough, physical kid. Uh. 58 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,839 Speaker 3: I think he comes from from that. You know, it's 59 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 3: got a family full of wrestlers there, so he's uh, 60 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 3: he's he's no stranger to uh, hard work, and he's 61 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 3: done a really good job for us. So I'm happy 62 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:44,359 Speaker 3: for him. You know, he does a good job first 63 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 3: when he's out there. 64 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 6: From your perspective, what's been the struggle within the fourth 65 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,640 Speaker 6: quarter specifically? You guys are generally very good first three 66 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 6: quarters and most of the games. 67 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 2: What's been the issue in that court of specifically? 68 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's something we've looked at. I've looked at personally. 69 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 3: You know, what we're doing in those situations and what 70 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 3: we're calling you know what I mean, just making sure 71 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 3: that we're in the best possible situation. 72 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,520 Speaker 2: That's something that we got to be better there. 73 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 3: Obviously, you know, state and the obvious, you know, So 74 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 3: we got to be in we got to be in 75 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 3: better situations, and we got to be able to finish 76 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 3: those games in the fourth quarter because we're right there. 77 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,079 Speaker 3: Uh and obviously, you know, losing that one the other day, 78 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,520 Speaker 3: nobody's happy about that, right, So we got to be 79 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 3: better in the fourth quarter for sure. 80 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 5: So Leave said the other day, you know, there are penalties, 81 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:33,959 Speaker 5: and he said, there there's the penalties like what Trey 82 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 5: aren't got hit with. And he said he wasn't going 83 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 5: to know about to thrust the guy down for for that. 84 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 5: But when it dependently like that occurs, when it just 85 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 5: looks like a guy made a play, how difficult is 86 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 5: it to coach guys to you know, kind of ran 87 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 5: in their instincts a little bit and tackle the quarterback 88 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 5: the way the refs think you should tackle the quarterback. 89 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, this is just part of part of the game. 90 00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 3: You know, we're always trying to show them a strike 91 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 3: zone tape and all that stuff, and some things are 92 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 3: out of your control. You know, it's bang bang, and 93 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 3: you just play the situation as it plays out, you know, 94 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 3: defensively as coaches and players. But we try through the 95 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 3: best job we can just getting them in position, you know, 96 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,159 Speaker 3: where you're going to make a legal hit, make legal 97 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 3: contact on somebody, which you know, I like I said, 98 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,159 Speaker 3: it's bang bang, you know, not easy to do. But yeah, 99 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:26,279 Speaker 3: we're always trying to coach it. 100 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,920 Speaker 5: Defense just thrivessane in the emotion and the bang bang situation. 101 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,039 Speaker 2: That's what defense is all about. 102 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:37,919 Speaker 5: But is it getting increasingly difficult to coach guys to 103 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:39,360 Speaker 5: figure out where that line is. 104 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 3: I think you're just trying to coach within the rules 105 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:43,720 Speaker 3: of it, honestly, you know what I mean. You really 106 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,119 Speaker 3: got to coach keep your head out of it, staying 107 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 3: in the strike zone, you know what I mean, for 108 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 3: the health of the players and everything. So it's it's 109 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 3: just all part of coaching it, honestly. Every day we 110 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 3: got to make sure that we're hitting at and like 111 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:57,839 Speaker 3: I said, trying to show tapes of that stuff every 112 00:04:57,839 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 3: week too. 113 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:02,599 Speaker 1: Said, you're gonna seem more like quick getting fast person second, 114 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 1: and maybe anybody else in the league. There is there 115 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,720 Speaker 1: something you look at and see what why teams are 116 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 1: attacking that way. 117 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:11,360 Speaker 3: Big part of it is we've done a pretty good 118 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,839 Speaker 3: job in a run game, so you see a little 119 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:15,479 Speaker 3: bit more first down pass when that's the case. 120 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 2: Been through that before, but yeah, I think it's probably 121 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:20,479 Speaker 2: something to do with that. 122 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 3: And then you know, obviously coverages getting called in that situation, 123 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 3: so you're always looking at that self, scouting that and 124 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:27,160 Speaker 3: evaluating that for sure. 125 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 2: That's part of it. 126 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,839 Speaker 4: Last couple of years. How you balance ay Matt still 127 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 4: being aggressive getting. 128 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,719 Speaker 3: After Yeah, you gotta have a great rush plan against 129 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:37,360 Speaker 3: guys like that. 130 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:37,599 Speaker 2: You know. 131 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:41,600 Speaker 3: It's similar to like when you're playing against Pat Mahomes, 132 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 3: guys like that who are really elusive in the pocket. 133 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:44,599 Speaker 2: You have to have a good rush. 134 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 3: Plan and not be behind the quarterback and giving them 135 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,160 Speaker 3: the gap step ups, that whole deal, and you got 136 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,039 Speaker 3: to do a good job in the interior as well. 137 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,920 Speaker 3: That's not just the edge and really trying to make 138 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:56,720 Speaker 3: sure that everybody is square in front of the QB 139 00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 3: and you're running stuff that gets guys an opportunity to 140 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,479 Speaker 3: pressure the passer and all the while keeping him in 141 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:03,919 Speaker 3: the pocket. 142 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 2: Like that's you got to be on point. 143 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 3: With a guy like this because he is, as you said, 144 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 3: he is legit and he's done a great job with 145 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 3: his feet. 146 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:11,279 Speaker 2: It's the whole. 147 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,280 Speaker 6: Here's how much of a challenge or is it a 148 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,840 Speaker 6: challenge at all?

For what's the 174 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 4: challenge for you as a coordinator to sort of have 175 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 4: that balance to where you're you're trying to get home 176 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 4: manufactured some things you're also wanting to keep the coverage. 177 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, like we we've done some different things over the 178 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,640 Speaker 3: course of the season, and then like even in the 179 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 3: game the other day, some different stuff you know that 180 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 3: resulted in some good stuff for us as well, and 181 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 3: going through that in my career, just you know, different 182 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 3: stops and stuff. You always pick up things that you 183 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 3: feel like can can help that way. But it's also 184 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 3: it's rushing covers together, right, So it's not giving them 185 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 3: access on throw so the wall can come out quick 186 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 3: enough so the format can get there. It's mixing it up, 187 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 3: uh from from my perspective, you know what I mean, 188 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 3: changing the picture for the quarterback and the opposing coordinator 189 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 3: so that they don't have access to get the ball 190 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:01,560 Speaker 3: out as quick right too. 191 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 2: So that's part of it. 192 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 3: But yeah, it's definitely a myriad of things, and that's 193 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 3: always the challenge I think every Sunday. 194 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 2: But we got to do a great job at that 195 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 2: this week. I know that you know, appreciate you guys. 196 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:17,040 Speaker 7: All right, Yeah, he's a slowly taken over. 197 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 4: At how talked about just just what have your conversations 198 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 4: with Trevor been like in terms of that and just 199 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 4: how much does he need to just go ahead and 200 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 4: just let it lose. 201 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 7: Our conversation has been very similar. I think Liam and 202 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 7: I and Trevor were all aligned in that he has 203 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 7: all the ability in the world. He knows the system, 204 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 7: He's got a lot of reps out it. He'll continue 205 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 7: to improve as we get better. But we want to 206 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,439 Speaker 7: let him go out there and play fast, play free. 207 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 7: And there are opportunities out there that we need to 208 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 7: do a better job of probably creating those out or 209 00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 7: giving him the mindset and the confidence and the understanding 210 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 7: that he can play fast and play free in those opportunities. 211 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 7: So look forward to the opportunity for him to do 212 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,080 Speaker 7: that this weekend. But absolutely have all the confidence in 213 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,440 Speaker 7: the world in him, so hope he feels the same 214 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:10,839 Speaker 7: to go out there and play fast and free. 215 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:12,960 Speaker 8: Just like Coach said, what was to say. 216 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:14,839 Speaker 7: About Jacobe and if he was able to contribute the 217 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:16,079 Speaker 7: way he did just being. 218 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 2: In front of this. 219 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 7: It's a testament to his work, his intelligence to be 220 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 7: able to go out there and even line up. I 221 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:22,080 Speaker 7: don't think I'd be able to break the huddle if 222 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,199 Speaker 7: I tried to show up in a week and then 223 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,200 Speaker 7: go out there and play in a game. Really really 224 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,560 Speaker 7: impressive for him to do that, to go out there 225 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 7: and not only play, but to do it at a 226 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 7: high level, knew what he was doing, didn't have to 227 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 7: ask guys all the time. 228 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:35,960 Speaker 8: You know, where am I lining up? What am I doing? 229 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:37,880 Speaker 8: Where am I trying to go? Who am I blocking here? 230 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,839 Speaker 7: So super impressive from a mental standpoint, and then the 231 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 7: physical standpoint too. I don't think people realize how tough 232 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 7: it is to hop on a plane all of a sudden, 233 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,080 Speaker 7: You're moving in the middle of the night, and then. 234 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:50,480 Speaker 8: You're doing a physical early in the morning. 235 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 7: You're getting everything together, people are trying to take all 236 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 7: your time, You're short on sleep, probably short on nutrition, 237 00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:56,600 Speaker 7: and then you got to go out there and play 238 00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,839 Speaker 7: in a totally foreign environment. So really impressive all around 239 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:01,439 Speaker 7: offensive line. 240 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:03,320 Speaker 2: How can you get more from those guys? 241 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 8: There's a lot of things that go into it. 242 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,080 Speaker 7: I think as coaches we always want to start with 243 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,079 Speaker 7: trying to evaluate how we can put them in better 244 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 7: positions for success, and whether that's the protections that we're in, 245 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 7: the run calls that were in, the formations were in, 246 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,600 Speaker 7: or how many times they're doing different things. How can 247 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 7: we continue to find the things they do best and 248 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 7: continue to do those in new or different ways or 249 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,679 Speaker 7: ways that are designed to attack that defense that specific week. 250 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:30,960 Speaker 7: So we're always going to reflect on how we can 251 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 7: build things for the offense, for those guys specifically that 252 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 7: put them in better situations. I think they've played at 253 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,319 Speaker 7: a high level before and we've seen it, and they 254 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:41,160 Speaker 7: played at high levels in times of those games, just 255 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,440 Speaker 7: like all the positions, I think every position during that 256 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 7: game had points of the game where they wanted to 257 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 7: improve or wish they had performed better, and had points 258 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:49,320 Speaker 7: of the games that they wish they could have back 259 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 7: and do over again. 260 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:52,440 Speaker 8: And the old line is no different. 261 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,600 Speaker 7: I have confidence that that group of guys will rally together, 262 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 7: continue to play together, and continue to build upon the 263 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 7: things that we've worked on all through the offseason, all 264 00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 7: through training camp, and continue to protect and run block 265 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:04,560 Speaker 7: like they've done earlier in the year, like they did 266 00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 7: at times during that game. 267 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 1: Much of it is that they've just run into some 268 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 1: really good defense in front side contexts front, or that 269 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:12,359 Speaker 1: they're just struggling. 270 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 8: It's a mix of everything. 271 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 7: I wish I could sit here and say it's this 272 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 7: one thing, and if we just fix this one thing, 273 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 7: this one pass set, or our cadence, or we stopped 274 00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:23,200 Speaker 7: doing this protection, that would solve all of our problems. Unfortunately, 275 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,439 Speaker 7: that's not the reality. There's so much that goes into it. 276 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 7: Whether it's like I said, the calls that work, you know, 277 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 7: the game plan and the scheme we're putting together for them, 278 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:33,960 Speaker 7: certain routes, the timing, are they coming open on the 279 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 7: right time? Are we getting the ball out on the 280 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 7: right time, Are we hitting the right spots in the 281 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,600 Speaker 7: run game? Is it a different front it's I mean, 282 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 7: we've played some great defenses, Like you said, we embrace 283 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,320 Speaker 7: that challenge. We enjoy the opportunity to go against some 284 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 7: of those top defense really some of the best fronts 285 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:48,559 Speaker 7: in the league we've had the opportunity to go against. 286 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 8: So it's a great test for those guys. 287 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,839 Speaker 7: But it's something we got to embrace, not necessarily use 288 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,120 Speaker 7: as an excuse, not to say that we're saying that 289 00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:58,720 Speaker 7: you were saying that it'd be an excuse, but certainly 290 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 7: something we would embrace, but reize, Hey, we're playing the 291 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 7: best of the best. We embrace that challenge and will 292 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 7: continue to go attack whoever they put across from us. 293 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:09,839 Speaker 4: The Chargers defense, just just in terms of what they 294 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 4: bring to the table, how much of a challenge is that. 295 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:14,680 Speaker 8: It's a lot and a couple different ways. 296 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 7: They do a great job with their scheme, very very 297 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:20,400 Speaker 7: tied together with the rushing coverage coordinated super well. You 298 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,440 Speaker 7: can tell those guys when they're on the same page. 299 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,880 Speaker 7: They're playing at a really high level, and you've probably 300 00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 7: seen over the last couple of weeks them continue to ascend, 301 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:29,960 Speaker 7: which makes it a great challenge for us. They've gotten 302 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 7: guys back healthy, and the guys are really playing at 303 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:35,080 Speaker 7: a high level in that scheme within their roles. They've 304 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 7: got guys at the first level, really good rushers outside 305 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,120 Speaker 7: and inside, really linebackers playing at high level, and then 306 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 7: the defensive backs. They've had some turnover there, but the 307 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:43,440 Speaker 7: guys they've got in there now are playing at a 308 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,360 Speaker 7: really high level and coordinated really well. 309 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:45,960 Speaker 8: In the back end. 310 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,319 Speaker 7: They provide some different looks that really the defenses we've 311 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 7: played earlier and they're having shown from a coverage standpoint, 312 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 7: the way they play certain coverages and the way they 313 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 7: even play certain fronts and run fits. That'll be different 314 00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,360 Speaker 7: for us to go against that, but it's a great 315 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 7: challenge and opportunity for the guys. Then third down, you're 316 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:04,840 Speaker 7: kind of gonna say the same thing, different pressures, different 317 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:08,080 Speaker 7: blitz packages. So it's a unique defense to go against 318 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 7: for the guys, and they do a really great job 319 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 7: of executing it. 320 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:12,680 Speaker 2: You can get Strange back this week. 321 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:17,280 Speaker 9: How much does it open things up Strange offense, and 322 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:21,200 Speaker 9: you see probably unfortunately it took his absence a little 323 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 9: bit to really see how much he impacts opening things up, 324 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 9: not just in the past game. 325 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 7: He's a great target for Trevor, and I think they 326 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,480 Speaker 7: seem to have a connection. When things break down, Trevor 327 00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 7: seems to find him. He's an explosive athlete, so even 328 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:35,640 Speaker 7: when he's looking to him first in the progression, you 329 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 7: get match up issues with Breton Strange matched up on 330 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 7: linebackers or even safeties at times because he can run 331 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:43,679 Speaker 7: away from guys. He's big, he's strong, he's physical. I 332 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:45,800 Speaker 7: mean he wins running outess on corners sometimes, which is 333 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,199 Speaker 7: super impressive. But in the run game, it's a huge 334 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,679 Speaker 7: deal all the different things he can do. So when 335 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:52,840 Speaker 7: you say opening up, he quite literally can open up 336 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 7: defenses sometimes like coming across, splitting defenses, inserting and gaps, 337 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,199 Speaker 7: pulling around, and then at the point of attack he 338 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 7: can block defensive ends, bigger guys at times. So it 339 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:04,760 Speaker 7: really creates a lot of opportunities. When he's taken a 340 00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,960 Speaker 7: defensive end, now you got another offensive lineman on a linebacker, 341 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 7: So it creates mismatches for us. You know, having him 342 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 7: is a huge part of our offense. 343 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,839 Speaker 1: Towinson has the turnover at wide receiver been this year. 344 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:16,959 Speaker 1: I mean Marker popping up on the injury report. You 345 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 1: already have given some reps to Austin Trambell got called up, 346 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,840 Speaker 1: called up Tim Jones, I mean he traded for Tim 347 00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:26,680 Speaker 1: Patrick mill of the season. You trade for Jakobe Myers 348 00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 1: middle of the season. How challenging is that, I guess 349 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:30,760 Speaker 1: that rotation that turned over. 350 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 7: Ben, Yeah, there's certainly a challenge to it. And would 351 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 7: love to have Travis back healthy too. And you know, 352 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,120 Speaker 7: you lose him just right as he was starting to 353 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 7: really hit his stride there in the LA game in London. 354 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 7: But it's the challenge we all signed up for. I 355 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 7: think back to that moment at the end of the 356 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:50,000 Speaker 7: game where Tim Jones is running across the field against 357 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 7: Vegas and it makes that big catch and it's a 358 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 7: route that he never really got the practice with Trevor. 359 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,080 Speaker 7: He had never thrown and caught that route with Trevor, 360 00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 7: and he goes out there. Trammell's in there winning on 361 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 7: that play. You know Tim Patrick is in there winning 362 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,440 Speaker 7: on different routes where he hasn't got the opportunity to 363 00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:08,160 Speaker 7: run those routes. So those guys are facing really a 364 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 7: tremendous challenge to go out there and execute at the 365 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 7: highest level against the best of the best without having 366 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 7: the opportunity to practice to do some of those things. Now, 367 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:17,280 Speaker 7: it's our job to try to limit the amount of 368 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:19,600 Speaker 7: newness and try to make sure that what we put 369 00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 7: on their plate is stuff that they can go out 370 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 7: and execute. 371 00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 8: But it's been a lot of fun to see them 372 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 8: embrace the challenge. 373 00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,560 Speaker 7: Something we're gonna have to continue to do as guys 374 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:28,760 Speaker 7: go in and out of the lineup. 375 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:30,400 Speaker 8: That's the nature of the beast. We knew going into 376 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:30,720 Speaker 8: the year. 377 00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:32,880 Speaker 7: Very rarely do you make it throughout the year with 378 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,840 Speaker 7: all eleven starters playing every single snap of every single 379 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,320 Speaker 7: game for the whole year, so you know something that 380 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 7: was gonna come up. Unfortunately, it's probably been a little 381 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 7: more than anybody would like, but those guys have really 382 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 7: been doing a great job of not flinching when the 383 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,680 Speaker 7: opportunity comes, just stepping up, doing what's asked to them 384 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:48,640 Speaker 7: and trying to embrace it. 385 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:51,840 Speaker 6: Chargers being seventh in the league in sex, like, how 386 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 6: do you balance that? You know, figuring out which size 387 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:56,480 Speaker 6: is going to get help and knowing that they have 388 00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,320 Speaker 6: guys on multiple areas of that line they kind of have. 389 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:01,400 Speaker 2: You're a task to take away, like how. 390 00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:01,840 Speaker 8: Do you balance that? 391 00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,400 Speaker 7: Yeah, that's the tough challenge of it. And when you 392 00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:06,440 Speaker 7: play these great fronts like these guys. It was a 393 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,560 Speaker 7: similar issue last week in Houston. There's only so many 394 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:11,440 Speaker 7: guys you can help if you double team. Everybody got 395 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 7: nobody running a route, so you're certainly trading off every 396 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,600 Speaker 7: time you try to find a solution. Every time you 397 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 7: say I'm gonna fix issue, you're causing a problem somewhere else. 398 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 8: So it's a delicate balance of choosing. 399 00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:27,040 Speaker 7: Those issues wisely and then trying to mix and match 400 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:28,840 Speaker 7: helping a little bit here, a little bit there throughout 401 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:32,000 Speaker 7: the game so they can't get a beat on we're 402 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,200 Speaker 7: always helping this way, or we're always protecting this way. 403 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,840 Speaker 7: We're always protecting a certain way, or always trying to 404 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:38,920 Speaker 7: set up formations and protections in a certain way. So 405 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:40,400 Speaker 7: you got to mix and match to keep them on 406 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:42,760 Speaker 7: their toes, but also mix and match to balance out 407 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:44,960 Speaker 7: to help as it's spread around, so that way guys 408 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,360 Speaker 7: have plays where they know I've got help on this down. Unfortunately, 409 00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:49,800 Speaker 7: there's gonna be a flip side of that for those 410 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 7: guys where there's gonna be a couple players you say, 411 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:52,480 Speaker 7: all right, you're one on one. 412 00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 8: We need you here to come through in this moment. 413 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:55,720 Speaker 7: And that's the nature of the beast, and that's when 414 00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:58,080 Speaker 7: those guys are really called to step up for the 415 00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:01,920 Speaker 7: team and for the other ten guys on the field. 416 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 8: Ask the guys thank you, guys, appreciate it.
