1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,480
Speaker 1: Who's up. I'll start kind of a thought on ouh

2
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:06,440
Speaker 1: where you are uh emotionally with this with this offense,

3
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 1: and you frustrated disappointed right now? Absolutely, there's always a

4
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 1: level of frustration. You know, we just had a really

5
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:17,439
Speaker 1: good meeting. You know, Look, we're we're all trying to

6
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:21,599
Speaker 1: do the right things. We we have to do 'em better. Y.

7
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,280
Speaker 1: You know, you've you've heard this for years. Uh, we

8
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 1: have to coach the details better. We have to coach better. Uh,

9
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 1: we have to at times, we have to execute better.

10
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: We have to be a lot more consistent, uh in

11
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:35,560
Speaker 1: what we do. There's there's times, like I've said, where

12
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 1: we show glimpses of being very few times I get

13
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:41,159
Speaker 1: it in the last two weeks, but of showing glimpses

14
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 1: of what we can be. But you know it's not enough.

15
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 1: And so we we have to be more consistent on

16
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 1: what we're doing on the practice field as coaches and players,

17
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:51,599
Speaker 1: and that's really what we're working hard. There's a lot

18
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: of season left. You know, there's a lot of season left,

19
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 1: and uh, you know there's always a obituaries being written,

20
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 1: but you know there's a lot of football to be played.

21
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 1: So let's see if we can get better. And I

22
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,400
Speaker 1: think the NFL is always about who can improve the fastest.

23
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: We have a long way to go, don't get me wrong,

24
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 1: but uh, you know, hopefully we can get there. They'll

25
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 1: start over as a team does the offense. Yeah, but fundamentally,

26
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: Bill's right. Uh, Bill's exactly right. Uh. Bill's coached a

27
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 1: lot of years, fifty years in this league thereabouts. Uh.

28
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 1: I've been around a long time. Uh, not just in

29
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: the pros, but in college football. We've had good seasons,

30
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 1: We've had seasons where things early on didn't go well.

31
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 1: It always goes back to your fundamentals, your teaching progressions,

32
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 1: your fundamentals as a player. It's a team sport. Everybody's

33
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: sticking together and making sure that that we take care

34
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: of the little things. Those are the things that are

35
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 1: hurting us right now. Look at the end of the day,

36
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: like we're turning the ball over too much. That's the

37
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: number one thing. We've got to stop turning the ball over.

38
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: We got to take care of the ball and so

39
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: we gotta start there. And then you know the other

40
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: day we had pre snap penalties that we hadn't had

41
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 1: and we have to stop doing that. Gotta me be

42
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: more consistent in our run game and our pass passing game,

43
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: route running, pass protection, designs of the routes, things like that.

44
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: So we're working hard to get it better. Where are

45
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: you at Withes right now? Obviously it looked like it

46
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 1: was on on upward trajectory and in the last few

47
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:21,359
Speaker 1: weeks games. Yeah, I would say it's not about one guy.

48
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, he'd be the first to tell you that.

49
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 1: You know, there's things that he has to do better,

50
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 1: whether it's obviously take care of the ball, or you know,

51
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 1: maybe read the route better or get us into a

52
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 1: better player or whatever it is. But it's a collective effort.

53
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:35,959
Speaker 1: That's why it's it's not a one on one sport.

54
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 1: It's a it's an eleven man sport. You're trying to

55
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: get eleven guys on the same page to do the

56
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 1: right thing on every play and and right now we're

57
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: not near doing that. And so it's not about one guy.

58
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 1: But as the quarterback, you know you're gonna shoulder a

59
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: lot of that. And and he, uh, he understands that.

60
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: He's working hard. He's in here early, in here yesterday

61
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 1: trying to think about things to do better. We had

62
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 1: a good fundamental meeting right here half an hour ago,

63
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: so we're you know, you know, we we're ready to

64
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: go for practice today. Take it one day at a

65
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: time and try to, you know, dig ourselves out of it.

66
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 1: So don't anticipate start this Sunday. I do. I do. Yeah,

67
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: So you don't believe that maybe just a mental bak

68
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 1: after the last two weeks might be something like that,

69
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: that th that. No, there's no time for mental breaks.

70
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: Those are on your days off. I guess you can

71
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: take a little mental break, but it's it's it's the

72
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: grind of the season, you know, I I I. In

73
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 1: order to be in this league, as a coach, as

74
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 1: a player, as anybody in this league, you have to

75
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: be mentally tough. There's a grind. There's a grind that

76
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: goes to the league, and it's a seventeen week grind,

77
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 1: and you know, we all have to be mentally tough.

78
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: You know. Uh, the sun came up today and we're

79
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 1: gonna practice and and today and we're gonna you know,

80
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: get after it and be fundamentally sound today and see

81
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: see what happens tomorrow. One day at a time. Parts

82
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: of the league practice and what was the preseason like quarterback?

83
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 1: I know he's what times we never receive how much

84
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 1: confidence do you have in him? And maybe executing some

85
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 1: of the things we saw, uh prom him at the

86
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: quarterback position. Uhlik did a good job in the preseason.

87
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 1: Leak'ser works very hard. He does a good job on

88
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: the practice squad, plays a lot of receiver. You know,

89
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: played some quarterback uh last week with uh you know,

90
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 1: mimicking Taysom Hill. Uh. But yeah, he he, He does

91
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 1: a really good job and he's continued to improve. He's

92
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,359
Speaker 1: probably one of the most improved practice squad players that

93
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,840
Speaker 1: we have. So good guy to work with. Phil. How

94
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:37,040
Speaker 1: how can you remedy all the supposed starting possibly playing

95
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 1: from behind and then you know, dealing with the ramifications

96
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 1: of that. Yeah, no, it's it's you have to take

97
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,599
Speaker 1: care of the ball. Uh. The reason one of the

98
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: main reasons why we've played from behind is we've turned

99
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 1: the ball over. Not only have we turned the bat

100
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: ball over, but we've turned it over for touchdowns. So

101
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: that's number one. We have to stop doing that, Like

102
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,239
Speaker 1: we have to. Uh. We do a good job of

103
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: you know, making sure that we take care of the

104
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: little things, take care of the football and string plays together.

105
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 1: And we have to do that in practice. You know,

106
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: we have to be a lot more consistent in what

107
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:16,359
Speaker 1: we're doing. There's no consistency right now. It starts with me.

108
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: I've got to do a better job of making sure

109
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: that they know what consistency means and what it looks like.

110
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 1: And and then we all have to strive to do that.

111
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 1: But number one is we got to take care of all.

112
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: Can you think what's happened the first week is that

113
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: you know, it looks like the last year. It's kind

114
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 1: of like what I said before. I don't think it's

115
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 1: about one person. I really don't. I think that, uh,

116
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: there there are definitely things that he can do better,

117
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 1: you know, whether it's uh footwork or you know, the

118
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: read of a route or you know, the check of

119
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: a play, whatever it is. But there's also ten other

120
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 1: guys out ou out there on the field, and all

121
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 1: ten of those guys would come in here and tell

122
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 1: you that there's things that I could do better. I mean,

123
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 1: you saw David Andrews after the game. There's no better,

124
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 1: better guy in this organization. David Andrews. You know, he's

125
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: taking ownership of what the old line needs to do better.

126
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: You know, Trent Brown is a great left tackle for us.

127
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: He's taken ownership of what they need to do better.

128
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:11,919
Speaker 1: You know Hunter Henry, you know, has taken ownership of

129
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 1: what the tight ends need to do better. Ramandre Stevenson's

130
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 1: taken ownership of what he needs to do better. Coaches,

131
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 1: we're taking ownership it. It is what it is, and

132
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,479
Speaker 1: we got to get it better. But everybody's understanding what

133
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: their role is is in it. And as the quarterback,

134
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 1: you're the focal point. Everybody understands that. So you know,

135
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 1: you shoulder a lot of the blame. But at the

136
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 1: end of the day, it's a team sport and we

137
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,480
Speaker 1: all have to do a better job. What does need

138
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: to do better? I think like at the end of

139
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 1: the day, it's it's it's really it comes down to

140
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 1: communication and and uh the technical aspect of it, anticipation

141
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 1: sometimes awareness. There's things that we can do better to

142
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: help them from a scheme standpoint. But like I said,

143
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 1: we just had a good meeting. We we went over

144
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,719
Speaker 1: a lot of different things, fundamentals that we can do better,

145
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,599
Speaker 1: s some schematic things that we can really improve on

146
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 1: to help 'em and hopefully you know that'll that'll start

147
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 1: to show. Uh this week, it needs to start to

148
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 1: show this week. Oh what would you give you leave

149
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 1: that be? Would you get end up giving Bailey any

150
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 1: more reps this week during practice in case there is

151
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 1: another big game switching. Yeah, those guys get r Yeah,

152
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: I would say that, you know, Mac definitely gets most

153
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 1: of the reps. Uh, Zap gets reps and will Grim

154
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: gets reps. Now those reps might be scout team reps

155
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: or you know, maybe you know some portion of practice

156
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 1: that that uh, those guys would get the the majority

157
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 1: of the reps during that portion of practice. But yeah,

158
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 1: they'll they'll, they'll they rep every week, no doubt one.

159
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 1: There was one more question, Uh, yes you mentionally what work?

160
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 1: I was wondering with everything going on in this season,

161
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: how much can you find two your mechanics as a

162
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 1: quarterback and how much of that is kind of lost

163
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 1: as a priority a house you have a big game

164
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 1: when in practice, I think you can find tune your

165
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 1: mechanics every day we we we go out to practice

166
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: about fifteen to twenty minutes early every day and we

167
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: work a lot of individual drills, footwork drills, read drills,

168
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: throwing drills with all the quarterbacks. So I think you

169
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 1: can do that, you can improve on those things during practice,

170
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 1: and I think a lot of that, you know, fundamentally,

171
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: it comes back to, hey, how can I be better

172
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 1: fundamentally and that might help me play better at any position.

173
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 1: So you'll see the old line out there early, the

174
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 1: quarterbacks out there early, the dbs out there early, you know,

175
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 1: trying to get some individual work done to try to

176
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 1: improve their technique which can help to improve you know,

177
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 1: execution they when they play. Thanks you
