WEBVTT - Chris Foerster on How the Team is Preparing for the Rain on Saturday vs. Seattle | Press Pass

0:00:06.200 --> 0:00:12.280
<v Speaker 1>I like this on your interview, all three new kids

0:00:12.280 --> 0:00:14.680
<v Speaker 1>on your How has it changed your younger guys though,

0:00:14.880 --> 0:00:18.480
<v Speaker 1>having their first You know, I don't know right now.

0:00:18.480 --> 0:00:21.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean, obviously this week Jake and his wife had

0:00:21.360 --> 0:00:23.799
<v Speaker 1>had a baby, and uh have great story with that,

0:00:23.880 --> 0:00:27.040
<v Speaker 1>but it's it's it's I don't know. I do think

0:00:27.400 --> 0:00:29.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't notice anything, you know, I really don't. I

0:00:29.160 --> 0:00:32.080
<v Speaker 1>really don't see it. And they mature more, I don't

0:00:32.080 --> 0:00:34.720
<v Speaker 1>see it. They've all these guys are all pretty hard working,

0:00:34.760 --> 0:00:36.920
<v Speaker 1>good guys, and and so I don't seem much change.

0:00:36.920 --> 0:00:39.519
<v Speaker 1>And the guys and obviously we all know that it's

0:00:39.520 --> 0:00:41.360
<v Speaker 1>a huge change, huge life change to have a baby

0:00:41.360 --> 0:00:42.879
<v Speaker 1>and and all that they go with and the and

0:00:42.880 --> 0:00:45.640
<v Speaker 1>there there you know, their commitment to things they need

0:00:45.680 --> 0:00:46.879
<v Speaker 1>to do. But I think these guys have been good

0:00:46.880 --> 0:00:50.320
<v Speaker 1>all along with it. So throughout the game, well, I

0:00:50.320 --> 0:00:53.159
<v Speaker 1>didn't even know until after the game. So I mean,

0:00:53.200 --> 0:00:54.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure you guys heard the story, but it was,

0:00:54.960 --> 0:00:57.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, seriously, we found out just he went and

0:00:58.160 --> 0:01:00.240
<v Speaker 1>early in the morning and his wife wanted to April.

0:01:00.240 --> 0:01:01.480
<v Speaker 1>They went to hospital, had the baby, and he was

0:01:01.520 --> 0:01:04.040
<v Speaker 1>back over here dressing for the game, and nobody knew

0:01:04.080 --> 0:01:07.400
<v Speaker 1>that they had a baby, and uh, pretty soon we're like,

0:01:07.480 --> 0:01:09.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, somebody say, hey, Brenda and his wife, they

0:01:09.520 --> 0:01:10.640
<v Speaker 1>just they had a baby, and we're like, well, what

0:01:10.680 --> 0:01:12.200
<v Speaker 1>are we gonna do first Center today? It was like, well, no,

0:01:12.280 --> 0:01:14.680
<v Speaker 1>he's in the locker room changing, and so he went.

0:01:14.800 --> 0:01:16.920
<v Speaker 1>They did it. Luckily that everything went smoothly and they

0:01:16.959 --> 0:01:18.800
<v Speaker 1>were able to you know, she was able to deliver,

0:01:19.040 --> 0:01:20.479
<v Speaker 1>stay there for about an hour or so. Came over,

0:01:20.480 --> 0:01:22.679
<v Speaker 1>suited up and played the game, and I did. I

0:01:22.680 --> 0:01:24.560
<v Speaker 1>didn't know the whole game. You I would have never noticed.

0:01:24.600 --> 0:01:26.080
<v Speaker 1>And then after the game, I heard the story and

0:01:26.120 --> 0:01:28.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, wow, this is pretty crazy. And he did

0:01:28.200 --> 0:01:31.360
<v Speaker 1>a great job. He hadn't take into account of fact

0:01:31.360 --> 0:01:35.759
<v Speaker 1>that it's probably gonna board when your game. Yeah, I mean,

0:01:35.880 --> 0:01:38.000
<v Speaker 1>it's The unfortunate thing is we've had some rain here

0:01:38.040 --> 0:01:40.560
<v Speaker 1>obviously in Northern California lately, so we practiced it a lot.

0:01:40.800 --> 0:01:42.840
<v Speaker 1>We had some rain games early. The first Seattle game

0:01:42.880 --> 0:01:44.560
<v Speaker 1>had some rain, obviously not the extent that we're gonna

0:01:44.560 --> 0:01:47.240
<v Speaker 1>get probably this weekend. And then obviously the Chicago game.

0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:49.480
<v Speaker 1>The first day was the first game was great until

0:01:49.520 --> 0:01:51.160
<v Speaker 1>the end. It was fine, you know, you could manage,

0:01:51.160 --> 0:01:53.440
<v Speaker 1>and we got we Everything was going along pretty smoothly

0:01:53.520 --> 0:01:55.080
<v Speaker 1>till the end, and then it just became an absolute

0:01:55.120 --> 0:01:56.360
<v Speaker 1>there was no way you could play. And I don't

0:01:56.360 --> 0:01:58.160
<v Speaker 1>think we're going to see that, So I just think

0:01:58.160 --> 0:01:59.920
<v Speaker 1>you just have to practice in it, which we're doing,

0:02:00.000 --> 0:02:02.040
<v Speaker 1>which is really fortunate, and you just get used to

0:02:02.080 --> 0:02:03.880
<v Speaker 1>dealing with a wet ball. I was noticing the quarterback

0:02:03.920 --> 0:02:06.720
<v Speaker 1>center exchanges today. We're you know, they were good knock

0:02:06.800 --> 0:02:09.000
<v Speaker 1>on wood and uh and and then the guys did

0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:10.320
<v Speaker 1>they do a good job with It's really good to

0:02:10.320 --> 0:02:11.760
<v Speaker 1>be able to practidant. You get to deal with the

0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:13.800
<v Speaker 1>weather and deal with the elements to wind, things like that.

0:02:13.880 --> 0:02:16.320
<v Speaker 1>So there was a good practice day that way. Seem

0:02:16.360 --> 0:02:19.000
<v Speaker 1>like the elements shake rock Pery either. Does it seem

0:02:19.040 --> 0:02:22.680
<v Speaker 1>like he's just still even heeled throughout everything. Yeah, you know,

0:02:22.760 --> 0:02:25.239
<v Speaker 1>you what they called mutters, You know they're good. They're

0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:27.799
<v Speaker 1>good in the mud right there. You have like running

0:02:27.840 --> 0:02:30.320
<v Speaker 1>backs like Raheemos. Start was much more of a you know,

0:02:30.560 --> 0:02:33.120
<v Speaker 1>like the fast track right and things like that, where

0:02:33.200 --> 0:02:35.000
<v Speaker 1>Jeff Wilson was more of a guy that could sludge

0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:36.480
<v Speaker 1>it out in the mud. That kind of I think

0:02:36.520 --> 0:02:39.160
<v Speaker 1>brock Purty. Having played at Iowa State, we have to

0:02:39.160 --> 0:02:41.640
<v Speaker 1>assume he played in bad weather there, and uh so

0:02:41.680 --> 0:02:43.160
<v Speaker 1>he's probably gotten used to it through the years. And

0:02:43.160 --> 0:02:44.720
<v Speaker 1>it is it's it is an adjustment. I mean, it

0:02:44.760 --> 0:02:47.040
<v Speaker 1>definitely is. You you play that weather. I mean, having

0:02:47.080 --> 0:02:49.680
<v Speaker 1>coached in Tampa and having coached in Miami, Um, you

0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:51.880
<v Speaker 1>go up in those cold weather games, you're just no

0:02:51.880 --> 0:02:54.360
<v Speaker 1>matter how hard you try, it's hard to acclimate in

0:02:54.400 --> 0:02:57.160
<v Speaker 1>that short period of time. UM reigns the same thing.

0:02:57.200 --> 0:02:59.119
<v Speaker 1>But fortunately we've had enough of it. I think guys

0:02:59.120 --> 0:03:01.560
<v Speaker 1>have had a chance. Four sacks allowed in this game

0:03:01.600 --> 0:03:05.120
<v Speaker 1>seem like characteristically struggle of a game for the offensive.

0:03:05.120 --> 0:03:06.880
<v Speaker 1>Why would you see in the breakdowns here? Yeah, the

0:03:06.919 --> 0:03:10.040
<v Speaker 1>breakdown was we had uh this is not pointing fingers.

0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:12.240
<v Speaker 1>We didn't execute our plan well enough. You know, we

0:03:12.320 --> 0:03:15.600
<v Speaker 1>had two of the j J's two sacks. We actually

0:03:15.600 --> 0:03:18.680
<v Speaker 1>had a chance to double team him, and we we

0:03:18.760 --> 0:03:21.560
<v Speaker 1>missed the opportunities. We did just didn't quite do what

0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:23.000
<v Speaker 1>we should do on it. And and the guy and

0:03:23.040 --> 0:03:24.800
<v Speaker 1>he's a good player, and he made place and you

0:03:24.840 --> 0:03:26.960
<v Speaker 1>know his last game, Gosh, if you're gonna say he

0:03:27.000 --> 0:03:28.480
<v Speaker 1>got us on two, we still won the game. He

0:03:28.520 --> 0:03:30.240
<v Speaker 1>got two sacks for his last game. Good for him.

0:03:30.760 --> 0:03:32.560
<v Speaker 1>We tried not to give it to him, but he

0:03:32.639 --> 0:03:34.600
<v Speaker 1>still got us in and it wasn't the one on

0:03:34.600 --> 0:03:36.480
<v Speaker 1>one matchups that he won. It was the it was

0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:39.120
<v Speaker 1>it was chances that we had to kind of neutralize

0:03:39.200 --> 0:03:41.200
<v Speaker 1>him and we didn't take advantage of him, and he

0:03:41.400 --> 0:03:43.320
<v Speaker 1>was still able to get to the quarterback. The other

0:03:43.320 --> 0:03:46.320
<v Speaker 1>two sacks, um, I'm trying to think. I know, the

0:03:46.360 --> 0:03:49.560
<v Speaker 1>one uh was just uh they ran a good stunt

0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:51.120
<v Speaker 1>on it, and then the other the other one, Brock

0:03:51.160 --> 0:03:53.040
<v Speaker 1>scrambled backwards and probably could have thrown the ball away

0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:54.960
<v Speaker 1>on that one where it didn't need to. So yeah,

0:03:55.040 --> 0:03:56.680
<v Speaker 1>but you know, those those things are always you know,

0:03:56.880 --> 0:03:59.000
<v Speaker 1>there's a bunch of games this year, Rob Bitch and Jimmy,

0:03:59.040 --> 0:04:01.600
<v Speaker 1>even Brock or or even Trade. The first game avoided

0:04:01.640 --> 0:04:04.080
<v Speaker 1>some and then this one you think you've got it

0:04:04.200 --> 0:04:05.800
<v Speaker 1>locked down, and next thing you know, you give up

0:04:05.800 --> 0:04:08.000
<v Speaker 1>for sacks and it just it's the ebb and flow

0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:10.120
<v Speaker 1>of the whole thing. So obviously it's a big point

0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:11.880
<v Speaker 1>of emphasis this week. You don't want that to start

0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:14.600
<v Speaker 1>being a factor because those sacks can take they take

0:04:14.640 --> 0:04:16.479
<v Speaker 1>you out of drives, especially first and second down sacks.

0:04:16.520 --> 0:04:19.120
<v Speaker 1>You've gotta be sure you can you can tighten up

0:04:19.160 --> 0:04:20.800
<v Speaker 1>and make sure it was good. It was a good

0:04:21.320 --> 0:04:23.800
<v Speaker 1>lesson for us to say, let's get this detailed up

0:04:23.800 --> 0:04:26.039
<v Speaker 1>when we when we say this, it means this, and

0:04:26.080 --> 0:04:29.120
<v Speaker 1>we weren't quite on the details and we missed those ops.

0:04:29.960 --> 0:04:31.599
<v Speaker 1>You don't want to take your quarterback to take a

0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:34.880
<v Speaker 1>seventeen year at sack. Kyle said, he probably knew exactly

0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:37.479
<v Speaker 1>what happened when he hit the ground, And Kyle, is

0:04:37.480 --> 0:04:39.680
<v Speaker 1>it easier? What is Kyle like in the headset when

0:04:39.680 --> 0:04:42.880
<v Speaker 1>he's talking to Rock after a play like that? This

0:04:42.960 --> 0:04:45.479
<v Speaker 1>is PG here, right, this is a PG thirteen audience.

0:04:45.560 --> 0:04:48.520
<v Speaker 1>You know it's he's he's uh Kyle. Obviously we all

0:04:48.520 --> 0:04:50.400
<v Speaker 1>get animated on games. You know, he's he's great. He

0:04:50.520 --> 0:04:53.760
<v Speaker 1>just uh um. He'll always, you know, tell the guy

0:04:53.800 --> 0:04:55.960
<v Speaker 1>what he should have done. And he's just very straightforward

0:04:56.000 --> 0:04:57.640
<v Speaker 1>with guys. The one thing about Kyle is very honest

0:04:57.680 --> 0:05:00.120
<v Speaker 1>with the players and straightforward on game days. All it's

0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:01.680
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of emotion behind it, but man, dude,

0:05:01.720 --> 0:05:03.080
<v Speaker 1>you gotta get rid of the the ball, you know, dude,

0:05:03.120 --> 0:05:04.880
<v Speaker 1>we can't take us We can't take that kind of sack.

0:05:05.200 --> 0:05:07.680
<v Speaker 1>That's a lot of field position that we're giving away

0:05:07.680 --> 0:05:09.320
<v Speaker 1>that we possibly could back them up inside the five

0:05:09.400 --> 0:05:11.560
<v Speaker 1>or ten yard line, and uh, we lose those seventeen

0:05:11.640 --> 0:05:13.279
<v Speaker 1>yards on a third on a sack, and it's really

0:05:13.279 --> 0:05:18.240
<v Speaker 1>hard to overcome. I don't I'm not. I think he's

0:05:18.240 --> 0:05:21.479
<v Speaker 1>pretty good. You know, you guys see bros demeanor. He's uh,

0:05:21.600 --> 0:05:23.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, he's a pretty serious minded guy. So sometimes

0:05:23.640 --> 0:05:25.599
<v Speaker 1>you can't really tell what he's thinking. You can't feel

0:05:25.600 --> 0:05:28.279
<v Speaker 1>if he's mad, or if he's happy or what he is. UM,

0:05:28.320 --> 0:05:30.200
<v Speaker 1>so he seems to take it well. I think he's

0:05:30.200 --> 0:05:32.760
<v Speaker 1>a pretty tough minded kid and uh and and can

0:05:32.800 --> 0:05:35.680
<v Speaker 1>handle tough coaching. Um. But you know, there's a lot

0:05:35.839 --> 0:05:38.240
<v Speaker 1>and no matter how tough you are, you're going through

0:05:38.240 --> 0:05:40.640
<v Speaker 1>a lot every single day at that position. You're learning

0:05:40.640 --> 0:05:43.200
<v Speaker 1>a lot. A lot falls on your shoulders. So sometimes

0:05:43.200 --> 0:05:45.360
<v Speaker 1>it's it's you know, it's hard, but these are lessons

0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:47.880
<v Speaker 1>he has to learn. And we've talked about before. These

0:05:47.920 --> 0:05:49.680
<v Speaker 1>these these are invaluable lessons when you go out on

0:05:49.720 --> 0:05:52.160
<v Speaker 1>game day and you get to experience these things. Playing

0:05:52.200 --> 0:05:57.160
<v Speaker 1>a lot for Pete Carroll's defense challenging or unique about

0:05:57.760 --> 0:06:00.360
<v Speaker 1>against him in particular. Well, they're they're just very, very

0:06:00.480 --> 0:06:03.520
<v Speaker 1>very sound, and they're well coached, so there are gonna

0:06:03.520 --> 0:06:05.800
<v Speaker 1>be where they're supposed to be. And then even when

0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:08.120
<v Speaker 1>you are know where they are and you go block them,

0:06:08.120 --> 0:06:09.680
<v Speaker 1>you have a good play, you still gotta block them.

0:06:10.080 --> 0:06:12.200
<v Speaker 1>You still gotta you still gotta break Italian guys gotta

0:06:12.200 --> 0:06:14.760
<v Speaker 1>break a tackle, or you gotta you gotta finish them

0:06:14.760 --> 0:06:16.240
<v Speaker 1>so they don't come off and make a play. I mean,

0:06:16.279 --> 0:06:19.160
<v Speaker 1>they they're well coached, not just in the scheme itself,

0:06:19.480 --> 0:06:22.080
<v Speaker 1>but and then playing their techniques and fundamentals, and they're

0:06:22.200 --> 0:06:24.200
<v Speaker 1>very very good at doing it, and they're they've been

0:06:24.240 --> 0:06:27.760
<v Speaker 1>through the years. Pete has always been always his defenses

0:06:27.800 --> 0:06:30.200
<v Speaker 1>from back I remember back when he was in New England.

0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:33.719
<v Speaker 1>I mean it's always been sound. Came from like the

0:06:34.080 --> 0:06:36.880
<v Speaker 1>he and Monty Kiffen came from the now. The defense

0:06:37.000 --> 0:06:39.240
<v Speaker 1>is how they put the defense together is changed through

0:06:39.279 --> 0:06:42.680
<v Speaker 1>the years as to what they're running, but the base

0:06:42.800 --> 0:06:45.200
<v Speaker 1>fundamentals of how you stop the run and the gap

0:06:45.240 --> 0:06:47.560
<v Speaker 1>control and the fits and how they do things has

0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:49.480
<v Speaker 1>been so consistent through the years, and it's a challenge.

0:06:49.640 --> 0:06:52.480
<v Speaker 1>It's a real challenge. You have to be on point

0:06:52.800 --> 0:06:55.120
<v Speaker 1>with how you block them. It's not just enough to say, Okay,

0:06:55.120 --> 0:06:56.320
<v Speaker 1>we got a guy from a guy from a guy

0:06:56.360 --> 0:06:58.280
<v Speaker 1>from It's not just having a guy from it's how

0:06:58.279 --> 0:07:00.760
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna get them blocked. Because they got some challenging guys.

0:07:00.760 --> 0:07:03.160
<v Speaker 1>Without Wood's back, he wasn't there the first game. Uh,

0:07:03.200 --> 0:07:05.479
<v Speaker 1>they lost ninety in our game, but ninety seven's back.

0:07:05.640 --> 0:07:07.799
<v Speaker 1>I'm back and playing well. Ninety three the inside linebacker

0:07:07.880 --> 0:07:10.280
<v Speaker 1>really lost their their leading tackler. Those other two guys

0:07:10.320 --> 0:07:12.840
<v Speaker 1>are really good special team have been good special teams players.

0:07:13.000 --> 0:07:15.720
<v Speaker 1>They're two inside linebackers now, and they are good in space.

0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:18.600
<v Speaker 1>They're hard to block. Special teams right there in open

0:07:18.760 --> 0:07:20.840
<v Speaker 1>areas are used to dealing with things, and so you

0:07:20.880 --> 0:07:22.000
<v Speaker 1>have to get on them and you have to work

0:07:22.040 --> 0:07:23.960
<v Speaker 1>to finish or it might look like, oh, there's a

0:07:23.960 --> 0:07:26.120
<v Speaker 1>play it's gonna break out in it's five yards, it's

0:07:26.160 --> 0:07:28.080
<v Speaker 1>four yards, and then when you get through it, the

0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:30.640
<v Speaker 1>whole thing is six at free safety. That guy makes

0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:33.400
<v Speaker 1>sure he's gonna to make sure that you know that

0:07:33.400 --> 0:07:35.520
<v Speaker 1>that nothing gets through the big run. At the end

0:07:35.560 --> 0:07:38.640
<v Speaker 1>of our last game, six I'm sorry six was that's

0:07:38.680 --> 0:07:41.960
<v Speaker 1>my first time at them, Podium six was blitzing, and

0:07:42.040 --> 0:07:43.320
<v Speaker 1>so they had a different guy in the middle of

0:07:43.320 --> 0:07:46.040
<v Speaker 1>the field. So when our runner broke through Mace, he

0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:47.560
<v Speaker 1>was able to make that guy miss Worth was six.

0:07:47.600 --> 0:07:48.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if he would have or not. I

0:07:48.760 --> 0:07:50.120
<v Speaker 1>hope he would have and we had a big run

0:07:50.120 --> 0:07:51.880
<v Speaker 1>dice the game. Either way, it was the first down.

0:07:52.320 --> 0:07:54.880
<v Speaker 1>But uh, but it is that that That's what that

0:07:54.960 --> 0:07:57.160
<v Speaker 1>defense is. And so you can imagine even though the

0:07:57.200 --> 0:07:59.320
<v Speaker 1>style of defense has changed, imagine back when was the

0:07:59.400 --> 0:08:01.800
<v Speaker 1>Legion of what whatever they call it, Boom Doom whatever

0:08:01.840 --> 0:08:04.480
<v Speaker 1>they are boom, Yeah, they were, they were there. Then

0:08:04.520 --> 0:08:07.160
<v Speaker 1>you have all these great players in every single position,

0:08:07.520 --> 0:08:09.400
<v Speaker 1>and so they've gone through a little bit of transition.

0:08:09.440 --> 0:08:11.680
<v Speaker 1>But these guys still play very, very sound. The fundamentals

0:08:11.680 --> 0:08:14.120
<v Speaker 1>are there. Long answer, but I'm telling you have a

0:08:14.160 --> 0:08:16.400
<v Speaker 1>ton of respect for Pete and the defenses that they've

0:08:16.440 --> 0:08:18.800
<v Speaker 1>run through the years, and it just really makes you

0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:21.920
<v Speaker 1>locked down and say, guys, I'm telling you, it's not

0:08:22.120 --> 0:08:24.080
<v Speaker 1>it's not just the normal dis block or that block.

0:08:24.160 --> 0:08:29.760
<v Speaker 1>You better be on on your details. Kind of attacking

0:08:30.160 --> 0:08:33.280
<v Speaker 1>Rock up the middle to chase him because he's a

0:08:33.280 --> 0:08:37.160
<v Speaker 1>shorter quarterback. You want to take away that cleanness and

0:08:37.200 --> 0:08:41.160
<v Speaker 1>the front of you know. Uh, they really, they really did.

0:08:41.280 --> 0:08:43.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean that's how that's what they did. It's what happened.

0:08:43.559 --> 0:08:45.679
<v Speaker 1>But it was more just what there was normal rushes.

0:08:45.720 --> 0:08:47.840
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't like they had a scheme to attack Brock

0:08:47.880 --> 0:08:50.520
<v Speaker 1>a certain way because they weren't doing a lot. It

0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:53.160
<v Speaker 1>was just that what came free, what we didn't pick up,

0:08:53.320 --> 0:08:55.240
<v Speaker 1>who got beat It happened to be in that area

0:08:55.280 --> 0:08:57.079
<v Speaker 1>that It wasn't around the corner. It was up the middle.

0:08:57.200 --> 0:08:59.560
<v Speaker 1>But it wasn't like by design they were pouring three

0:08:59.640 --> 0:09:01.360
<v Speaker 1>up the it all or all that. There wasn't a

0:09:01.400 --> 0:09:03.520
<v Speaker 1>lot of pressure. Actually, there was a single backer, dogs

0:09:03.679 --> 0:09:04.960
<v Speaker 1>and a couple of little things that they did in

0:09:05.000 --> 0:09:06.600
<v Speaker 1>there that created some of it. But I don't think

0:09:06.640 --> 0:09:08.880
<v Speaker 1>it was trying to force him to do one where

0:09:08.920 --> 0:09:13.640
<v Speaker 1>the other. The pressures came every other way or differently. Nope, No,

0:09:13.800 --> 0:09:15.680
<v Speaker 1>it's been because there's just I think there's a lot

0:09:15.760 --> 0:09:19.720
<v Speaker 1>more right now with um I don't know. I'm not

0:09:19.760 --> 0:09:20.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm not on the other side of the ball, but

0:09:20.960 --> 0:09:22.920
<v Speaker 1>at the defense, but I think there's a lot more

0:09:22.920 --> 0:09:25.440
<v Speaker 1>with who you gotta cover and things like that. So

0:09:25.640 --> 0:09:28.080
<v Speaker 1>I think there's a little bit more of I don't know,

0:09:28.160 --> 0:09:30.199
<v Speaker 1>we're seeing I don't know how to say it. I

0:09:30.240 --> 0:09:32.160
<v Speaker 1>don't know. It's just there's there's not as much of

0:09:32.200 --> 0:09:34.480
<v Speaker 1>that right now. I think they're more concerned about, you know,

0:09:34.679 --> 0:09:36.600
<v Speaker 1>just they run their five man rushes. They do what

0:09:36.640 --> 0:09:38.480
<v Speaker 1>they do to come free when they pressure. It's well

0:09:38.520 --> 0:09:41.559
<v Speaker 1>thought out, hoping to get a guy free. But they

0:09:41.559 --> 0:09:43.920
<v Speaker 1>have issues with covering our guys as well. So I

0:09:43.920 --> 0:09:45.960
<v Speaker 1>think that comes it's a little bit harder to just

0:09:45.960 --> 0:09:48.280
<v Speaker 1>say we're gonna sell out to make sure party can't

0:09:48.720 --> 0:09:50.400
<v Speaker 1>step up in the pocket, or if he do, you

0:09:50.400 --> 0:09:52.440
<v Speaker 1>think because he's shorter he can't see or whatever that

0:09:52.520 --> 0:09:54.640
<v Speaker 1>might be. There's I think there's more to it with

0:09:54.679 --> 0:09:57.120
<v Speaker 1>the coverage of our players and making sure that it

0:09:57.160 --> 0:09:58.679
<v Speaker 1>won't matter what you're doing in the middle. If you

0:09:58.720 --> 0:10:00.520
<v Speaker 1>can't cover, the ball is gonna come out and a

0:10:00.520 --> 0:10:02.920
<v Speaker 1>play is gonna be made. So but it could be

0:10:03.000 --> 0:10:06.320
<v Speaker 1>that we might see some of that at some point.

0:10:06.640 --> 0:10:10.120
<v Speaker 1>He's outstanding his he goes through his progressions really really fast.

0:10:10.120 --> 0:10:12.440
<v Speaker 1>He gets the ball out of Stanley and does a

0:10:12.440 --> 0:10:14.320
<v Speaker 1>good job. And like everybody, he could be a little

0:10:14.360 --> 0:10:15.960
<v Speaker 1>better on some and some of me. It is just

0:10:15.960 --> 0:10:17.680
<v Speaker 1>it's amazing how he gets the ball out. The play

0:10:17.760 --> 0:10:21.000
<v Speaker 1>he made against Miami to Kittle his first game when

0:10:21.000 --> 0:10:23.400
<v Speaker 1>he came in for for Jimmy on a hot throw

0:10:23.520 --> 0:10:25.560
<v Speaker 1>was unbelievable. It really turned the game for us. It

0:10:25.600 --> 0:10:27.080
<v Speaker 1>was one of the better throws of the season that

0:10:27.080 --> 0:10:30.080
<v Speaker 1>we've had this year from any quarterback. And uh, he's

0:10:30.080 --> 0:10:31.720
<v Speaker 1>got that in him. But he's still got to go

0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:33.280
<v Speaker 1>through this still the same thing. You know, maybe a

0:10:33.280 --> 0:10:35.320
<v Speaker 1>little late to this one. Literally this one. Didn't see

0:10:35.320 --> 0:10:40.280
<v Speaker 1>this scrambles when he should, all those things season. How

0:10:41.160 --> 0:10:43.600
<v Speaker 1>to have him back for this game. I love Elijah.

0:10:43.600 --> 0:10:45.920
<v Speaker 1>You know, Elijah is just such a physical runner. He

0:10:46.040 --> 0:10:48.200
<v Speaker 1>just you know, the touchdown running had where were you know,

0:10:48.280 --> 0:10:50.800
<v Speaker 1>Randy guy over at the goal line or whatever it was.

0:10:50.880 --> 0:10:52.640
<v Speaker 1>And he just does a great job with un the

0:10:52.640 --> 0:10:54.880
<v Speaker 1>football is nice to have he and Christian. As we've

0:10:54.920 --> 0:10:56.800
<v Speaker 1>talked about it here before, it's always nice to have

0:10:56.800 --> 0:10:58.800
<v Speaker 1>two backs, and then you have twenty four as well

0:10:58.800 --> 0:11:00.440
<v Speaker 1>to get in there. Thirty two gets in a little bit.

0:11:00.480 --> 0:11:02.400
<v Speaker 1>We've got it nice. So now there's a rotation. You

0:11:02.400 --> 0:11:03.880
<v Speaker 1>don't have to wear a guy out. A guy doesn't

0:11:03.960 --> 0:11:06.200
<v Speaker 1>have to have twenty eight years now, he might because

0:11:06.200 --> 0:11:07.600
<v Speaker 1>he's got the hot hand at day. But it's nice

0:11:07.600 --> 0:11:09.720
<v Speaker 1>to have guys to roll through there. It's a different style.

0:11:10.080 --> 0:11:12.240
<v Speaker 1>You're gearing up to tackle Elijah and then next time

0:11:12.280 --> 0:11:13.960
<v Speaker 1>it's Christian to the whole is not going to attack

0:11:13.960 --> 0:11:15.920
<v Speaker 1>you the same way as Elijah does. And they all

0:11:15.920 --> 0:11:17.880
<v Speaker 1>have a different skill set, so it's nice for us

0:11:18.160 --> 0:11:19.840
<v Speaker 1>to be able to utilize them in different ways and

0:11:19.880 --> 0:11:21.520
<v Speaker 1>also just in certain parts of the field. There's just

0:11:21.559 --> 0:11:23.680
<v Speaker 1>a lot that goes into it. But um, it's nice

0:11:23.720 --> 0:11:25.520
<v Speaker 1>to have those two guys, really nice to have them back.

0:11:27.240 --> 0:11:33.040
<v Speaker 1>Those guys work together, so sort of counteract the old

0:11:33.080 --> 0:11:35.120
<v Speaker 1>saying of a running back needs a certain number of

0:11:35.160 --> 0:11:38.760
<v Speaker 1>carriers in a rhythm. It seems like you're able to

0:11:38.800 --> 0:11:42.920
<v Speaker 1>put guys in. They are sharp right from our initial

0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:46.439
<v Speaker 1>carry the thing. Yeah, they're not having to feel their

0:11:46.480 --> 0:11:50.000
<v Speaker 1>way through the that's pretty accurate. Yeah, I think that

0:11:50.080 --> 0:11:52.400
<v Speaker 1>with with our system, and again Kyle has done such

0:11:52.440 --> 0:11:54.800
<v Speaker 1>a great job through the years of how we coach

0:11:54.880 --> 0:11:57.280
<v Speaker 1>the runners. So it's not a yes, there's a little

0:11:57.280 --> 0:11:59.760
<v Speaker 1>bit of a field, but it is not one game

0:11:59.760 --> 0:12:01.839
<v Speaker 1>stre within another game. Our run games are run game

0:12:01.840 --> 0:12:03.120
<v Speaker 1>and how we read it, how we key it, what

0:12:03.160 --> 0:12:04.800
<v Speaker 1>we do. Yeah, there might be a field to how

0:12:04.800 --> 0:12:07.199
<v Speaker 1>a defense is playing at that day a little bit,

0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:09.360
<v Speaker 1>but for the most part, they've seen that at some

0:12:09.400 --> 0:12:11.679
<v Speaker 1>point during the year because everybody, even though the defensive

0:12:11.720 --> 0:12:14.600
<v Speaker 1>structure may change, the techniques, how they play it, how

0:12:14.640 --> 0:12:17.000
<v Speaker 1>they fit the runs, it's kind of consistent or they've

0:12:17.040 --> 0:12:20.200
<v Speaker 1>seen it somewhere, right Miami doesn't like, Chicago doesn't like

0:12:20.280 --> 0:12:22.199
<v Speaker 1>this team, and then there's another group of teams that

0:12:22.280 --> 0:12:23.520
<v Speaker 1>kind of fit it the same way. So once you've

0:12:23.559 --> 0:12:25.719
<v Speaker 1>seen it a few times, Yeah, the backs may tell

0:12:25.720 --> 0:12:27.880
<v Speaker 1>you that I'm not a runner. Hey, I need a rhythm,

0:12:27.880 --> 0:12:29.160
<v Speaker 1>I need this and that, But at the end of

0:12:29.160 --> 0:12:30.800
<v Speaker 1>the day, the way we coach them, I think the

0:12:30.880 --> 0:12:33.600
<v Speaker 1>guy can kind of rotate through and and kind of

0:12:33.640 --> 0:12:37.960
<v Speaker 1>pick right up where they left off. Hey, thanks, guys,

0:12:38.000 --> 0:12:38.600
<v Speaker 1>appreciate it.
