1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:00,640
Speaker 1: How are you doing?

2
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:06,720
Speaker 2: What's going on right? A defensive Yeah, shoot, they that's

3
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 2: some better leadership for sure. The good on the edges,

4
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 2: that's at the edge well and basically on the rundowns.

5
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:16,080
Speaker 2: And they're young and the secondary where they they're Goody're athletic.

6
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:18,119
Speaker 2: They played the ball really well. I think they're leading

7
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 2: the league and TVUS or something like that. And they

8
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 2: forced five turners last week, so they're great. They punched

9
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:25,759
Speaker 2: up the ball and like I said, they have some

10
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 2: veterans up front, some guys in front.

11
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 3: That have played a long time, and.

12
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 2: And Davids in the middle is heard one of the

13
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 2: greatest dudes and one of the greatest leaders in the NFL.

14
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 2: So we got a handsful and they got to get

15
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:39,839
Speaker 2: defensive coordinator who who does some good stuff. And I

16
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 2: think it's, uh, it's a challenge, the challenge going down there.

17
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:44,599
Speaker 2: You know, I think no one can get loud, and

18
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 2: I know they've come off a big win, so uh,

19
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 2: you know, it's the challenge of anytime going on the

20
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 2: road and playing an opponent that's uh the top, you

21
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 2: know whatever they are in turnovers and and then playing

22
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 2: the ball in the air.

23
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 3: So gotta be gotta be ready for him.

24
00:00:56,440 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 4: How important is it for you collectively.

25
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 2: And even on office to kind of keep the momentum

26
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 2: going after the way from Buffalo.

27
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's huge.

28
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 2: I think just that one's in the past, keep going

29
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:10,040
Speaker 2: and you got to get get back at this week.

30
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 2: I think it's huge and starts with just positive plays.

31
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 2: You know, keep going, get the first first down, and

32
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 2: you'll just keep stay ahead of change. I think we've

33
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:18,960
Speaker 2: we've done a good job when we stay ahead of

34
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,960
Speaker 2: change and you know, scoring touchdowns and another instances of

35
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 2: scoring touchdowns the red zone. I think we you know,

36
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 2: we came up short a little bit last week, so

37
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 2: you know that's that's kind of a big thing coming

38
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 2: and uh, you know, practice on Friday and then you

39
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 2: know from there, get on it, you know tomorrow for

40
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,400
Speaker 2: third down and just continue to watch them. And it's

41
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 2: a different opponent. We don't see him much, you know,

42
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 2: n FC team, So just kind of try to get

43
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 2: to know them and and uh you'll know that they

44
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 2: they're at home, they're gonna want to play hard and uh,

45
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,399
Speaker 2: four stoneovers a team.

46
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 4: Do you believe in momentum?

47
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 1: Are you more to wipe the slate?

48
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 4: Crane.

49
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's uh something you can build off

50
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 2: for sure. I think the guys obviously builds confidence. I

51
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 2: think that's what coach always preaches, you know, kind of

52
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 2: getting wins, the win calm builds confidence. But you gotta

53
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 2: flush it and keep going and worry about you know,

54
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 2: it's any given week in this league. You know, I'm

55
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 2: not really fast, so you know, everybody's got good players.

56
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 3: And good scheme.

57
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:08,920
Speaker 2: And the more you play, the more you get tape

58
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 2: on you, so pick up habits and tendencies. Obviously, that

59
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 2: being such a big win for you guys and it

60
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 2: being the national TV game, I'm wondering, have you have

61
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 2: you heard from people that you didn't expect to.

62
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 3: Hear from playing the way you did the other night?

63
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 2: And is that in any way made it hard to

64
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 2: move on, even though you guys need to. Yeah, No,

65
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 2: I mean I think you get some texts from people

66
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 2: around the league, But I think it's, you know, more

67
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 2: about getting back at it. I think you know, you

68
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,519
Speaker 2: can remember one game and whatever that was Week five,

69
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,399
Speaker 2: and you know it doesn't mean anything unless you you'll

70
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 2: keep building on it and and and make it kind

71
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 2: of a you know, ongoing thing. So that's a big thing,

72
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 2: you playing your connection with Steph given you couldn't participate

73
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 2: much in this spring obviously wasn't here last year.

74
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 3: Because it's produced to a really high level. Of the

75
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,239
Speaker 3: last two come together so quickly.

76
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think abuse thing. He's he's a receiver, easy

77
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 2: to throw to. I think he's easy. He's got great hands,

78
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 2: we catch the different ways with his body. He turns

79
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 2: with the football and makes people miss very easily.

80
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 3: It's very natural. You can just tell he's.

81
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 2: You'll play receiver a long time and you'll play at

82
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 2: a high level. So just trying to put in his vicinity.

83
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 2: And he always says, you know, I got you, So

84
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 2: just trust that, and you think, I'll just continue to.

85
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 3: Build and build and you'll try to give him the

86
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 3: end zone and you just trying to follow up kind

87
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:22,920
Speaker 3: of a Phil was saying before.

88
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 4: So you get these texts from other people around the league.

89
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 4: Expectations have definitely raised for this team. I mean league wide,

90
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,399
Speaker 4: people are talking about the Patriots now. Is it fair

91
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:34,639
Speaker 4: to hold yourself to a different standard now or is

92
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 4: this kind of where you've been.

93
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 2: You're just going that I wouldn't say as different standards

94
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 2: just something we're trying to you know, work towards you know,

95
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,839
Speaker 2: building the standard for you know, us as a team,

96
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 2: you know, making it hard at home to you know,

97
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 2: to beat us at home, and making a tough team

98
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 2: that you know we're bringing on the road. I think

99
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 2: that we're trying to build our identity and I wouldn't

100
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 2: say the standards changed. We're just trying to keep building

101
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 2: it and keep you know, showing you know, showing ourselves

102
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 2: and showing people around the league.

103
00:03:57,920 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 3: All particulways the same side of us.

104
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 2: Can It seems like you've done much much better job

105
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 2: this season of avoiding turnovers.

106
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 4: What what have been the steps towards avoiding those players so.

107
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 3: Far in the season. Yeah, sure, I think it's real.

108
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 2: First off, the guys up front are playing their butts off,

109
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 2: you know, they're they're protecting me great, and I joke

110
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 2: with them all the time a lot. I think the

111
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 2: sacks have taken it. I think it's been all basically

112
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 2: on me. So they got beat a few times, but

113
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 2: they've done a great job and playing hard. And also

114
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 2: comes to this game, you know, we're chipping on the

115
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,159
Speaker 2: edge and we're getting the ball out fast and the

116
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 2: guys have really took home you know, inside out and

117
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,160
Speaker 2: protection and to you know keep on, you know, playing

118
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 2: every week, you know, playing hard.

119
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 3: And I think.

120
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 2: They they want to continue to running football, and I

121
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 2: think that only help kind of the limit turnovers, you know,

122
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 2: more down the roads, being able to run the football

123
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 2: and stay ahead of the chains.

124
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: Process when you're going against some defense and likes to

125
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 1: play more spot drop versus ones and like to kind

126
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 1: of do more pattern match.

127
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the Saints do a good job of matching.

128
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 2: You know, they're gonna play some zone and then play

129
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 2: some two deep and when they go to post safety,

130
00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 2: you know they're gonna their match our routes and they're

131
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,280
Speaker 2: good at playing the at ball and I think it

132
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 2: changes your more receiver mentality, you know, kind of set

133
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 2: up depths and spacing kind of you know winning verse,

134
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 2: you know, match covers, winning verse man and you're winning

135
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 2: your one on ones. So what it comes down to,

136
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 2: and it comes down for meat ball placement and get

137
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,840
Speaker 2: out on time and making sure that the football is

138
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 2: in the right spot for them to catch and run or.

139
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:19,160
Speaker 3: Catch and make a play. So that's the kind of

140
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:19,720
Speaker 3: the biggest thing.

141
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 2: But uh, you know they got some young dbs out there,

142
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,039
Speaker 2: and you know they're fast and they make, you know,

143
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 2: make great plays on the ball. So I played a

144
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 2: few in college Buffalo.

145
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,479
Speaker 3: Then play second quarter. You found the trading in court

146
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 3: right shorty game.

147
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: By in the same quarter, living in the same quarter,

148
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 1: the same play you're from.

149
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 4: I looked up for twenty two yard game.

150
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,720
Speaker 2: What does that play with that the sequence mean to

151
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 2: you and how what can we see what can we

152
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 2: say about you guys from offensive? Just taking you know,

153
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 2: in game coaching, in game looking at the tablet. You know,

154
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 2: I feel like I look at it and try to

155
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:54,599
Speaker 2: get good graphs of it. You know, I felt like

156
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,839
Speaker 2: I had the crosser right when I threw the checkdown Travon,

157
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 2: and I really thought to myself, man, I maybe may

158
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 2: have had it behind them. Just trying to you know,

159
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 2: play off of uh, just tendencies in the game. And

160
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 2: you know, I think we've got the same coverage on

161
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 2: that play. So just trying to learn from it and

162
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 2: and know, uh, you know how to many great play

163
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 2: you know what to catch you made over the middle,

164
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 2: and like I said, just learn from your previous plays

165
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 2: and a lot of times when they show up again, as.

166
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: A coordinator who's so willing to repeat play calls within

167
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 1: the game, And how does that help you in terms

168
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:23,280
Speaker 1: of being able to learn and grow throughout?

169
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's a it's a it's a really

170
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 2: big in college, you know, teams you know, repeat plays

171
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 2: all the time. I think of the NFL. Yeah, like

172
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 2: I said, it's not as common, but I love repeating

173
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 2: plays and running the same stuff. I think you get

174
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 2: a good grass and sometimes you get the same cover,

175
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 2: sometimes you get different, and that's really what practice is for.

176
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 2: I think it's it's a little bit of a simulation

177
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:42,239
Speaker 2: of practice. You repeat the same plays and get different

178
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:43,919
Speaker 2: looks and you know, try to be successful.

179
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 3: So yeah, it's good.

180
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 2: And like I said, he you know plays that you like,

181
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 2: especially like repeating them.

182
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 1: You got any connections with Batler?

183
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, I got to know Spence, you know a little

184
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,600
Speaker 2: bit throughout the draft process. Obviously the same class. I

185
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 2: got to know them one other time. Whereas it maybe

186
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 2: the man can't I'm not sure what it was, but

187
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:02,839
Speaker 2: uh yeah, you know, great dude.

188
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 3: You know play played in Tide Calina. Shoot, what a

189
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 3: what am I thinking?

190
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 2: I played in Tide Clown the home opener it was

191
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 2: in Charlotte, you know, my last year of college, our

192
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 2: last year, so uh yeah, big fan. And I was

193
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 2: playing some good football and I like the way throws it,

194
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 2: so uh yeah, big fan of Spencer Drake. You mentioned

195
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 2: the tablet after the game too, and you're.

196
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 3: Watching it instead of looking at the kick the run

197
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 3: game stuff. I was just curious, like, how do you

198
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 3: feel like.

199
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 2: That's coming along in terms of making checks.

200
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 3: And stuff like that.

201
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, shoot, you know, trying to get some into good looks.

202
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 2: I think we're close in the run game. We got

203
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 2: you know, we got some ones that are close to popping.

204
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 2: And those guys are big emphasis you know, every week

205
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 2: to try to run the football, and those guys are

206
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 2: doing a great job. I think just finished blocks a

207
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 2: little longer. You know, the backs are are, uh you're

208
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 2: running good, So just finished blocks a little longer, and

209
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 2: those guys are, you know, doing a great job. But

210
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 2: I think some some run game, some some big runs

211
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 2: or it's kind of what we've kind of been missing

212
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 2: a little bit just for the you know, being real explosive.

213
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 3: I think those are coming in the near future. Will

214
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 3: share anything about the Super Dome. I haven't been there.

215
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 2: Plenty of times where yeah, uh, you know I talked

216
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 2: to you know, willis basically home game for him, so

217
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 2: it'd be pretty cool. No, Yeah, I went down there

218
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 2: last year for the Super Bowl, so I saw it

219
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 2: a little bit. But uh, I think, you know, Will

220
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 2: planning New Orleans. I think he's I'm not sure if

221
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 2: he's ever played in there, but obviously he grew up

222
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 2: around there.

223
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 3: And says he gets loud and it say it's different.

224
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 2: I think that the sideline's a lot bigger and the

225
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 2: fans are a little farther from us, but I think

226
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 2: the whole noise pretty well. So looking forward to playing

227
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 2: down there. I hurts a really cool spot, So thank

228
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 2: you guys,
