1 00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:08,639 Speaker 1: How's it going. Oh yeah, how'd you feel about the 2 00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:11,920 Speaker 1: offensive performance? Obviously the first half seemed to go well 3 00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:13,560 Speaker 1: and then kind of fell a little bit of part 4 00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:16,279 Speaker 1: in the second half, or at least in the fourth quarter. Yeah, 5 00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:19,279 Speaker 1: just didn't consistently make enough plays or executed the h 6 00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:22,200 Speaker 1: high enough level throughout the course of the game. Really 7 00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:23,720 Speaker 1: from the start, the first drive to not go the 8 00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:26,120 Speaker 1: way we wanted it to go. Uh, same thing coming 9 00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:27,080 Speaker 1: out of the half. So we got to find a 10 00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:29,840 Speaker 1: way to make sure we're starting fast. Obviously we were 11 00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:32,400 Speaker 1: able to put together drives within the game, but that's 12 00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:34,479 Speaker 1: something you gotta do consistently. You gotta find a way 13 00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:37,120 Speaker 1: to start fast, stay consistent throughout, and then finish strong. 14 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:39,400 Speaker 1: And that's just something we got to continue to improve on. 15 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:43,280 Speaker 1: How correctable are those mistakes that were made drops things 16 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:46,040 Speaker 1: like that, Yeah, I think very correctable, honestly. Well, some 17 00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:48,320 Speaker 1: of the things we're just communication or maybe just little 18 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:50,640 Speaker 1: techniques here and there. As we go. You're gonna have 19 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:52,560 Speaker 1: plays that things don't go well throughout the course of 20 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:56,360 Speaker 1: a game, but it's managing and minimizing, like how bad 21 00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:58,760 Speaker 1: things go at times, you know, you can't turn the 22 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 1: ball over that's a big thing for us. And then 23 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 1: just being on the same page with communication on offense 24 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,040 Speaker 1: running the football. It's eleven guys on the exact same 25 00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,080 Speaker 1: page all the time, seen it the same way, and 26 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,600 Speaker 1: making sure we're we're just all on seeing communicated throughout. 27 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 1: It was your first time being able to see the 28 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 1: offensive line actually play together for a full game. How'd 29 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,319 Speaker 1: you feel that they played? I thought there's some encouraging things. 30 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,360 Speaker 1: I thought just overall is an entire offensive unit a 31 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 1: lot to build on, but a lot that we need 32 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:24,880 Speaker 1: to improve on as we move forward throughout the week. 33 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 1: I know it makes change from season to season. How 34 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,320 Speaker 1: much can you look back on against the Browns defense 35 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 1: from last year just known as the same code, same 36 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:34,320 Speaker 1: side of players. Yeah, I think that's a big thing, 37 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 1: is the fact that it is the same decordinator, a 38 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,479 Speaker 1: lot of very similar personnel. So that's something we'll definitely 39 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,200 Speaker 1: look at. You know, we haven't changed a whole lot, 40 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 1: and if you look at us and who we are 41 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 1: and how we deploy people and all that, so I 42 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 1: would assume the way they felt going into that game 43 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 1: is probably similar going into this game. So you're going 44 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 1: to look at it. But you know, you want to 45 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 1: look at any adjustments they made from that game on 46 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 1: through their season Week one against Dallas. You'll take all 47 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 1: information you can get. You'll take into account is you 48 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 1: build your plan and prepare your guys after the momentum 49 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 1: flipped in Sunday's game. What is your level of concern 50 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 1: with how your offense reacted to the adversity. You know 51 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,520 Speaker 1: there was there was no conversions of a third down. 52 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 1: I think you guys had something like four yards on 53 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,640 Speaker 1: eight plays and fourth quarter. I'm just I'm just wondering, 54 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,240 Speaker 1: is that the biggest concern for you coming out of 55 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 1: that game. I don't know that I necessarily had to 56 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 1: do with momentum or anything like that. I think it 57 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 1: was just it came down to being able to execute. 58 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 1: I think if we convert one of those third downs, 59 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,120 Speaker 1: we get a chance to run more plays, we get 60 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:33,640 Speaker 1: a chance to continue to move the football. I think 61 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 1: you saw we had the backed up drive. We have 62 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:37,080 Speaker 1: six plays and we're all the way down to the 63 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 1: three yard line out of our own two. I believe 64 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,360 Speaker 1: it was so you know, we're we know we're capable 65 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:43,920 Speaker 1: of that. We just have to do it consistently as 66 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 1: we go. You know, our goal is just to improve 67 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 1: every single week, So regardless of how big that jump is, 68 00:02:58,320 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 1: what it is, we just want to be better each week. 69 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 1: We get going better with communication, better with our tempo, 70 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 1: better with our execution, every little aspect of it. So 71 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:08,639 Speaker 1: I think there's a lot to build on, a lot 72 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 1: of things that we feel good about that we were 73 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 1: able to do, a lot of things that we do 74 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 1: feels correctable as we move forward, to be able to 75 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:18,520 Speaker 1: put our best foot forward each Sunday. An opponent that 76 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 1: features a player like Miles Garrett, how much do you 77 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 1: gain plan necessarily for that player. It's as opposed to say, hey, 78 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,799 Speaker 1: we trust our five offensive linemen, we can leave them 79 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 1: on islands, versus saying we understand that there's going to 80 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 1: be helped necessary. Yeah, there are certain guys in this 81 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 1: league that we would just classify as game records, and 82 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 1: he is certainly one of those. So you spa, you 83 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,120 Speaker 1: pay special attention to that guy, whether it's we're gonna 84 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,839 Speaker 1: provide help in the past game, we're gonna run away 85 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 1: from him, We're gonna do this, We're gonna we're gonna 86 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 1: run at him with certain schemes. We will do everything 87 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 1: in our power to be very aware of where ninety 88 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 1: five is at all times, and they do a great 89 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 1: job of moving him. You know, he's on third down particularly, 90 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 1: he could align anywhere at any time. He did that 91 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 1: against us, He's done that in the past, So that's 92 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 1: something we're certainly aware of with everything we do on 93 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 1: our plan. I mean, I think it's I think special 94 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 1: players require special focus, and he's definitely one of those guys. 95 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 1: He didn't have very many opportunities after the game got 96 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 1: tight to drop back and throw the football. Is that 97 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,479 Speaker 1: something y'all have looked at it all this week? Yeah, 98 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,279 Speaker 1: I think a lot of that's just the limited number 99 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 1: of plays we were able to have in that situation. 100 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 1: You know, we we moved the boat. We felt like 101 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 1: we were getting started on a couple drives, and we 102 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 1: get in a third and one scenario, we don't convert, 103 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:32,479 Speaker 1: fourth and one, don't convert. But that gives you an 104 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,279 Speaker 1: opportunity now to get a whole new set of downs, 105 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,839 Speaker 1: call more plays, getting that rhythm of things. You know, 106 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: I think I think what we were trying to do 107 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 1: was the right thing. Did we get it done all 108 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 1: the time? No, obviously not. You want to be able 109 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 1: to consistently put things together. But we felt like, you know, 110 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 1: we were two yards away from potentially putting that game 111 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 1: away and then all of a sudden, But you have 112 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 1: to overcome that. That's that's the NFL. Every game is 113 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 1: going to find a way to come down to one score. 114 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 1: Seventy five percent of the games come down to one score. 115 00:04:57,720 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 1: So you got to find a way to when you 116 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,359 Speaker 1: have an opportunity to put somebody away, put them away, 117 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 1: but then respond and be resilient when things aren't going 118 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 1: your way or you feel momentums flipped or whatever the 119 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 1: challenges are. You got to be able to execute every 120 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 1: single situation. It's a lot in the off season of 121 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:15,039 Speaker 1: the running game, revamping or whatever you would call it. Overall, 122 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 1: where were your thoughts coming out of that? I think 123 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 1: there were some positives to build on. Again, we just 124 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 1: want to get better next week than we were this week. 125 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 1: So there's a lot to build on with certain things, 126 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 1: whether it was timing of you know, the backs being 127 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:32,679 Speaker 1: in synchronization with the combination block, the timing of combination blocks, 128 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 1: the togetherness of some of those blocks at times, to 129 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,839 Speaker 1: even just the communication of making sure we're echoed across 130 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,279 Speaker 1: the line of how we see certain things and to 131 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,919 Speaker 1: even going back to our game planning process, our practice 132 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,839 Speaker 1: process of did we give them all the looks that 133 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,840 Speaker 1: we possibly saw, do we give them tools and then 134 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 1: they use the tools at the right time and making 135 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 1: sure that we're all on the same page and understanding 136 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 1: the importance of all of that. Have a two part question, 137 00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 1: how much do you go back to last year's meeting 138 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 1: with the brand? And secondly, what is your biggest memory 139 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 1: or biggest regret from that game? We go back a lot. 140 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 1: I mean, that's certainly a game that we're gonna anytime 141 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,919 Speaker 1: we play an opponent again that has the same DNA 142 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:15,840 Speaker 1: as well as personnel, You're gonna spend a lot of 143 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 1: time watching that because you want to look at how 144 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 1: they treated you, how they thought of you, defended you, 145 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 1: Where did that differ from what you planned going into 146 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 1: the game, and then try to figure out why that happened, 147 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,480 Speaker 1: why that was what they feel like they could hang 148 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:29,360 Speaker 1: their hat on if they were successful with this and 149 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 1: planned for that, and then learning from it moving forward. 150 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 1: You know, I think looking back on it, the personnel 151 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 1: we had and the guys playing, I know Ezra was 152 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 1: hurt going into the game and ended up playing left 153 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 1: tackle for us. Right there, Blake Hans comes in and 154 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,920 Speaker 1: finishes it, and it felt like one of those games 155 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 1: it was just nothing went well and then you look 156 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 1: back and realize we had the ball, we're down one 157 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 1: possession with the chance to win the game amid not 158 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,040 Speaker 1: playing well. And so that's one of those little things 159 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:56,840 Speaker 1: that you kind of gain some confidence of, Okay, if 160 00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 1: we can just get out of our own way, give 161 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:00,720 Speaker 1: ourselves a possibility to win this game, if we execute 162 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,719 Speaker 1: a high level, we stick together throughout, we'll be in 163 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 1: these games. Same thing we were talking about the other 164 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,919 Speaker 1: way of We were never out of that game. We 165 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 1: always had an opportunity to win. So now you've got 166 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,680 Speaker 1: to capitalize and make those plays. Frustrating, that's what keeps 167 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,239 Speaker 1: popping out. It is frustrating, Yes, it is any anytime 168 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 1: you're looking back, you know, And a lot of times 169 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 1: we'll tell our guys one of our big things is 170 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 1: it's all about us and so us getting out of 171 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 1: our own way and giving ourselves the best possibility to 172 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 1: win the game. Thanks ring our game a little bit
