1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,680
Speaker 1: Uh, two things for you. Number one, Uh, the stat

2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:06,280
Speaker 1: in the last two games, you guys, when you've given

3
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:10,479
Speaker 1: up points on defense, eight scores, four touchdowns, four field goals,

4
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 1: six of the eight times the offense has come right

5
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:17,480
Speaker 1: back and scored. What is to that? Like, that's complimentary

6
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:19,959
Speaker 1: football at its finest? Why is that? Why is it

7
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,959
Speaker 1: when you guys give up defense, if points you have

8
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 1: your best offensive drives. I don't know, it's kind of funny.

9
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:30,639
Speaker 1: I uh, I've kind of got a running joke going

10
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: with Tyrod that the same kind of thing. It's like,

11
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 1: you know, they scoring and you know, we go and

12
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,239
Speaker 1: get it right back, and I don't really quite know

13
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 1: what the reason for that is. But um, it's like

14
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:42,240
Speaker 1: you said, it's great complimentary football. I mean, our defense

15
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 1: does a great job of keeping people out the end zone,

16
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 1: which which obviously holds them at three or nothing, which

17
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 1: you know obviously makes your job a lot easier on offense.

18
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:51,880
Speaker 1: And um, you know that's kind of the goal, though,

19
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:54,279
Speaker 1: is anytime the opposing offense scores to go down there

20
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 1: and get an answered quick. And the other thing I

21
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 1: was gonna ask is, if you look at the box scores,

22
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:04,119
Speaker 1: they don't jump out as like a five and one team,

23
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: Like you know you got out gained yesterday. The first

24
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:08,759
Speaker 1: downs are even the turn You don't have a ton

25
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 1: of turn up takeaways on defense. So does it feel

26
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 1: like something else is going on? Like belief is breeding belief?

27
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 1: Like like you almost like I don't I hate the

28
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 1: word magic, but like almost like something magic is going on,

29
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 1: like where you guys are better than the numbers. Actually say, um,

30
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: well we so we kind of do a breakdown every

31
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 1: week of of kind of major categories, so like turnovers,

32
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 1: third down percentage, explosive plays, uh the first half and

33
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 1: I'm blanking on the last one, but oh in special teams,

34
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 1: and we ended up winning three out of the five,

35
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 1: so like we we only got two takeaways, but we

36
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 1: only turned it over once, so we wont that our

37
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 1: offensive third down percentage was better than theirs and they

38
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: had more explosive than us, and they want the first

39
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: half and then we want with Gary's return out to

40
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,040
Speaker 1: the fifty that obviously led to our first touchdown on

41
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: so um, and we did a good job of mitigating

42
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: their returns on special teams. So um, even though it

43
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 1: might not be the flashy, say qualm Ran for two.

44
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 1: DJ ran for four hundred and through four and I

45
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 1: had ten for one fifty. You know, we still have

46
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 1: We've been effective in the areas that you need to

47
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 1: be effective to win football games. Thank you, Darius. Paul

48
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: Swart Hey, Darius. Um, how much talk is there in

49
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: the locker room about five and one where you are

50
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 1: in a division where you're on the conference things like that? Um?

51
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 1: Not much, to be honest with you. I mean, we

52
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 1: are all on the same page of just taking it

53
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: one week at a time and focusing on the opponent

54
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,239
Speaker 1: we have ahead of us, which obviously this week is Jacksonville,

55
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 1: and just trying to go one and know every week.

56
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: At some point, will let become more a big focus

57
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: or of a discussion, you know, when when positioning and

58
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,919
Speaker 1: things are are more appropriate it Um? No, I don't

59
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 1: think it will, mostly because we have experience of ignoring

60
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:09,959
Speaker 1: our record for bad reasons, so that experience is probably

61
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: gonna pay off if we know we continue his trending

62
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 1: later on this season, you know, just ignoring and keep

63
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:16,919
Speaker 1: playing ball, keep playing good ball, and the results take

64
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 1: care of herself. Is it better to ignore a bad

65
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: record or to ignore a good record? Much better? To

66
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 1: ignore a good one. I can attest Charlotte Carroll. Guys,

67
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,959
Speaker 1: how's it going good? I just wanted to real quick

68
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 1: follow up on Ryan's question once to start with Tyrode, Uh,

69
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 1: like a couple of weeks ago. I mean we've had

70
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 1: like a couple of these games now, so I can't

71
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 1: remember which game specifically, but a couple of weeks ago,

72
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 1: and then even Sunday I said something to him about it.

73
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: I was like, man, they went score, and look we

74
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 1: came right back and score, Like you know, It's just

75
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 1: kind of how I was being going for whatever reason.

76
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 1: Thanks Neil best. You guys have gotten so much credit

77
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: for what you've done in the second half and the

78
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: fourth quarters, but in the first half haven't always been great.

79
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: Can you put your finger on anything about about why

80
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: you guys have gotten off to some slow starts on

81
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,279
Speaker 1: what you can do to fix that. It's hard to

82
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 1: say specifically, but um, I can't say that there's plays

83
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 1: that have been there, and we've been a we've been

84
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: a guy away here, a guy way there, and it

85
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,600
Speaker 1: just comes down to all eleven guys executing at a

86
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,280
Speaker 1: high level, and obviously that will help, you know, us

87
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 1: get faster starts, and although we have closed games, well,

88
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 1: you know, you can always improve you in the areas

89
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: you're doing well, and and um, that just comes down

90
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: to to a man doing our jobs better. We have

91
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: time for two more Art Stapleton and then Dan d

92
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: again me my good, Maddie, Yeah, you're got art. Uh.

93
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: I didn't want to jump down there. Hey Darius, how's

94
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 1: it going? Man? Good? When you talk to the creativity

95
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,279
Speaker 1: in this offense, I'm curious. I mean, you see plays

96
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 1: that every week that you kind of wonder where they

97
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: came from, at least from the outside. But obviously you

98
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: guys have been practicing these plays and it's not something

99
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 1: you put in on Fridays. When Dave's and Kafka and

100
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: the coaching staff started putting in these offensive plays, I

101
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: assume going all the way back to the spring or

102
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 1: even in training camp, what was your reaction. Are you

103
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 1: surprised that as much as you practiced, that you're actually

104
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 1: using these plays that maybe back then seemed uh so

105
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: creative that there's no way we're going to get to

106
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 1: that in a key moment in a game. Yeah, I mean,

107
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:48,599
Speaker 1: I mean definitely, there's so much install and so much

108
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 1: of the game is played within you know, your base install,

109
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:56,359
Speaker 1: so to speak. But um, it's always exciting. They're always

110
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: coming up with fresh ideas, new ideas, and you know,

111
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 1: I think it just shows the guts they have to

112
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 1: call those types of plays in those situations that can

113
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 1: win the game or not win the game, you know,

114
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,599
Speaker 1: as opposed to a lot of people sometimes get you know,

115
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 1: cod feet and maybe go with a safe call. But um,

116
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 1: I think they've done a great job of going for

117
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: it and being aggressive and trying to win the football game.

118
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: And then obviously at the end of the day, it

119
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: doesn't really matter what they call. We got to go

120
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: out there and executed regardless. So um, yeah, I think

121
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 1: it's it's just exciting, keeps things fresh and new, and um,

122
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 1: it's a lot of fun to be an offensive player.

123
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: Thanks last one, Dan talking, Hey Darvis me. You talk

124
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 1: to any coach and they say, the last thing you

125
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 1: want to be isn't third and long? Why had at

126
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 1: least the last two weeks, Why have you guys been

127
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 1: able to convert so many of those I don't know,

128
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,279
Speaker 1: You're right though, they we dang sure don't want to

129
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 1: be in them, But um, I think just when it

130
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 1: comes down to it. Um, kind of like I said earlier,

131
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 1: as long as you execute, and to a man, everybody

132
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: does their job, no matter if it's you know, first

133
00:06:56,360 --> 00:07:00,080
Speaker 1: and five or third, and you know, you always have

134
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: a chance. Might not be a big chance if it's

135
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 1: third and five, but you have a chance to pick

136
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: it up. So I think that's just always been is

137
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: as executing when we needed to. It seems that you

138
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 1: guys been keeping you know, more like max protect on

139
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: those plays. Or maybe it's only three years out of

140
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: the road. I mean, what is it like when you're

141
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 1: receiver and you're running the route and there's three uar

142
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: and six or seven of them you know at the sticks?

143
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: Isn't how much harder is it to get open in

144
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: those situations? Um, I already think of it that way.

145
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:27,239
Speaker 1: I think of it more as you've got more time.

146
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 1: You know, if you got six seven guys blocking, that

147
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 1: just gives me I'm gonna find a way. I'm gonna

148
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 1: find a whole somebody's gonna be you know, somebody gonna

149
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: slip or trip or do something. You know you're gonna

150
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: find it. Well, you figure as receiving, you figure it

151
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 1: out if you want the ball, but um, you know

152
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: that's kind of my approach to it. Or you can

153
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 1: make them fall like one day, right man, where that

154
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 1: that works too,
