1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,760 Speaker 1: We'll go. First question will be Jim McBride. Yep, Jim, 2 00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:07,920 Speaker 1: just real quick, Um, obviously, just condolences to Mike Zimmer 3 00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:09,680 Speaker 1: and his family. You know, we just kind of heard 4 00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:14,040 Speaker 1: the news and obviously extremely tragic situations. So just you know, 5 00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:16,880 Speaker 1: our thoughts and prayers are with he and his family. 6 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,720 Speaker 1: Horrible for sure. Um, Matt, I wanted to ask you 7 00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:24,080 Speaker 1: about a trade deadline day, which I know is very 8 00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:26,079 Speaker 1: stressful for the players and you know, maybe they don't 9 00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:28,480 Speaker 1: want to see their phone buzz today. I'm just wondering 10 00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:30,520 Speaker 1: what kind of emotions is it. Is it like for 11 00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:32,960 Speaker 1: a coach to go through like you might be, you know, 12 00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:35,159 Speaker 1: planning to have a player for the long haul and 13 00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,000 Speaker 1: then player X is gone and just kind of the 14 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,920 Speaker 1: emotions that you guys go through on these days too. Yeah, Um, 15 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:43,919 Speaker 1: you know, I think for us in the NFL, UM certainly. 16 00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:46,959 Speaker 1: I think guys that have been around here long enough 17 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,479 Speaker 1: understand that. I think every day for us, you know, 18 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:51,480 Speaker 1: the roster is always being looked at and we're trying 19 00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:54,280 Speaker 1: to always improve and get better, and opportunities come up 20 00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:56,720 Speaker 1: for guys, whether it's um, you know, from the practice 21 00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:58,920 Speaker 1: squad or to the active roster or whatever that is 22 00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,400 Speaker 1: from that standpoint. So it's kind of weird to say 23 00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 1: like this is a deadline for the trades, you know, 24 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:05,800 Speaker 1: things like that from from our standpoint, because I think 25 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,039 Speaker 1: we're always trying to get better and guys compete every 26 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,680 Speaker 1: single day for um, you know, for that opportunity to 27 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,119 Speaker 1: be here and to participate. So I think that doesn't 28 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:16,240 Speaker 1: really change for us from that mentality. Um, certainly, as 29 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 1: you know, like being a head coach, I think it 30 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 1: was a little bit different, you know, certainly when I 31 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:21,360 Speaker 1: was you know, when I was a head coach, you're 32 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 1: looking at maybe some different things that roll into that. 33 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 1: But as as an assistant coach, I think none of 34 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 1: that really kind of affects you from that standpoint. You know, 35 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 1: you just go out there every single day and obviously 36 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:33,760 Speaker 1: just try to coach and do the best you can 37 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 1: to help prepare players, prepare to you know, go win. 38 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 1: Thanks Matt, you're welcome. Next question Evan Lazar for All 39 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:45,560 Speaker 1: By Bob's Host. Hey Matt, how's it going good? Evan? 40 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 1: How are you doing? I'm doing well. I had a 41 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 1: two parter for you, if you don't mind. Number one, 42 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 1: Mac didn't throw the ball down the field nearly as 43 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 1: much on Sundays. Maybe we had seen in the first 44 00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,040 Speaker 1: three starts that he had of the year. Is that 45 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 1: something the Jets defense was doing against you or something 46 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 1: that you guys kind of emphasize moving forward. Yeah, No, 47 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 1: I mean, obviously we've played the Jets coming up here 48 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 1: pretty soon, so I'm going to be careful on some 49 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 1: of these questions. But they have a very, very good defense. 50 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 1: They've done a really a phenomenal job this year of 51 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,120 Speaker 1: not giving up big plays and putting their coverage in 52 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 1: a certain position where some of those things become difficult 53 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,960 Speaker 1: to be able to do, and certainly being down there, 54 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 1: being in their stadium or it was extremely loud, the 55 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,679 Speaker 1: fans were, you know, it was hard to hear and communicate, 56 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 1: and some of those things that we do are some 57 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,679 Speaker 1: line of scrimmage communication things maybe sometimes that we see 58 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,079 Speaker 1: that we're able to adjust. We just you know, want 59 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 1: to make sure that we were careful with those situations 60 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:40,959 Speaker 1: because they've done such a good job of preventing those. 61 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 1: Got it. And the second one, what's it been like 62 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 1: building out the RPO package. I saw a bunch of 63 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 1: them on Sunday, and I always think they're cool plays. 64 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 1: And I think Max said the same thing a couple 65 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,639 Speaker 1: of weeks ago as well. So what's it just been 66 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 1: like to go about building that out and that's something 67 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 1: that started in the spring, and where the influences were 68 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:05,120 Speaker 1: for that. Yeah, Um, that's that's a really good question, definitely. 69 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 1: I think you know, as you look at different maybe 70 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 1: offensive trends and things that are are in the league 71 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,239 Speaker 1: or in college football, or or obviously a lot of 72 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 1: things that our guys are familiar with being young and 73 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 1: right out of college, you know in that situation that 74 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 1: they've had a lot of success for and have been 75 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,360 Speaker 1: positive plays for him, So you certainly want to, you know, 76 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 1: see what maybe applies, what doesn't apply, and you'll build 77 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,520 Speaker 1: those things over time. You know. It's I think those 78 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:29,960 Speaker 1: type of plays you don't just kind of throw in 79 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 1: at the last minute. Um, there's things that maybe you're 80 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:33,920 Speaker 1: working on kind of in the background from that standpoint, 81 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 1: and they came up. But there's a lot of plays 82 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 1: that have different sort of whether it's the RPO catchphrase, 83 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 1: the run pass option, or different plays that maybe have 84 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 1: different sort of run pass looks based on what you're 85 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 1: seeing across the ball. So those common kind of combination 86 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 1: plays are pretty common, you know, it's just a little 87 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 1: bit more maybe the college feel as far as maybe 88 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 1: what you're referencing that you saw the other day. That's 89 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 1: all good. Thank you, You're welcome. Yes, Chrissian Bob soci 90 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 1: filled by Chris Ryan. Thanks day morning, Matt, Hey Bob, 91 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 1: how are we doing. We're doing well, Matt. I wanted 92 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 1: to ask you about some comments Joe made expounding on 93 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 1: Mac's decision making from Sunday relative not only to down 94 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 1: and distance and field position, but also the situation is 95 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 1: related to the score and the way the defense was playing, 96 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,240 Speaker 1: And you guys have always put such an emphasis on 97 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:23,720 Speaker 1: situational football. I'm curious what your impression of Mac has 98 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,599 Speaker 1: been working with him now and in terms of his 99 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:30,160 Speaker 1: situational awareness and what you thought of it on Sunday 100 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 1: against the Jets. Yeah. Um, really really good kind of 101 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 1: topic conversation, especially for quarterbacks. You know, they have to 102 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,359 Speaker 1: be extremely situationally aware. You know, they're out there managing 103 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,280 Speaker 1: the game, you know, and the clock and the personnel 104 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 1: and the formations and what the defense is trying to 105 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 1: do against them, and the down and distance all of 106 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,599 Speaker 1: that you know goes into play and Mac does a 107 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,600 Speaker 1: great job of kind of comprehending all of that, trying 108 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 1: to you know, put it in a blender and be 109 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:53,840 Speaker 1: able to understand all of it in an instant because 110 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 1: you know that play clock has ticking as you're going, 111 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 1: so you may only have about, you know, nine seconds 112 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 1: or so to kind of sort that all out. And 113 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:01,839 Speaker 1: there's a lot of things that go into that too. 114 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 1: You know, you're trying to orchestrate not only the play 115 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 1: call the receivers to skill players, but the offensive line 116 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 1: communicate with the center in a hostile environment in the 117 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 1: stadium down in New York where against the Jets, where 118 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 1: you know, you have to identify certain defenders, you know, 119 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 1: whether it's the linebackers and who's in what position, whether 120 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:20,720 Speaker 1: it's a salmon mike and a will or if it's 121 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 1: a sub defensive look that maybe presents like a base 122 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:25,480 Speaker 1: defensive look, things like that that you have to try 123 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 1: to recognize so that everyone's on the same page. And 124 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 1: he puts a lot of effort in time and is 125 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 1: studying those looks, understanding you know, the kind of the 126 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,039 Speaker 1: different configurations, and then making sure that we communicate that out, 127 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,719 Speaker 1: So that was really tough this past weekend. You know, 128 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 1: they do a really good job with some of the 129 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 1: things that they do, and then also did within the 130 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:43,919 Speaker 1: game that maybe we're a little bit different from that 131 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:45,599 Speaker 1: aspect of it that we had to kind of decipher 132 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,039 Speaker 1: as we went through and make some adjustments, and I 133 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 1: think he had to kind of adjust to some of 134 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,280 Speaker 1: that as we did on the sideline. I thought he 135 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,040 Speaker 1: did a really good job getting out of the field 136 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 1: in that nine seconds trying to figure that all out 137 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 1: and get it communicated and very quickly. How much is 138 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 1: it complicated when they're moving pieces different guys who are 139 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 1: in and out of that offensive line. Yeah, I would 140 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,359 Speaker 1: say absolutely. Um, you know, the blessing obviously we have 141 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 1: with James, who's you know, played center and is great communicator, 142 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,720 Speaker 1: who's been around here a long time. He does a 143 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 1: phenomenal job. But that just like David does. But those 144 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,360 Speaker 1: pieces do play into effect, you know, and how many 145 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,360 Speaker 1: guys that you're working with upfront and some of the 146 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 1: different pieces that go for the center, you know, just 147 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 1: for him, you know, having to communicate to the other 148 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,360 Speaker 1: four in those situations are sometimes five if we're have 149 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,719 Speaker 1: an extra offensive lineman out there and working with the 150 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 1: tight ends, so all of those things are going too 151 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 1: effect and all of those things, you know, you're fighting 152 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 1: against the clock. So the quicker that we get it 153 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,040 Speaker 1: out from one position, it goes to the next position, 154 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 1: it kind of trickles down, and all those things factor 155 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 1: into that, especially when you're playing on the road. So 156 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 1: you know, it was it was a good job of that. Thanks, Matt, 157 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 1: You're welcome. We're running behind schedule, so I'm going to 158 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 1: limit these last four questions to just a single question, 159 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,480 Speaker 1: no follow ups. Phase. Go ahead, Chris, Hey, Matt, how 160 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,720 Speaker 1: are you good? Chris? How are you doing good? Kind 161 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 1: of building on that topic. Obviously, you guys are liking 162 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,600 Speaker 1: what you're seeing from Mac pre snap as a dentification 163 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,160 Speaker 1: and the work that he puts into that, But how 164 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,599 Speaker 1: about post snap in terms of the time that it 165 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 1: takes her place to develop and also the decision making process. 166 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 1: Are you where you want to be with him in 167 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 1: that sense? Yeah, I mean, I think he's done a 168 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 1: really good job of, you know, trying to see everything 169 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 1: that's going on in the field, and I think that 170 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 1: as we go through the seasons, fronts and coverages will change. 171 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 1: You know, and and teams will change how they play 172 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 1: against us from week to week and game plan a 173 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 1: little bit more from a standpoint of they have enough 174 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 1: film now to kind of see who our players are, 175 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 1: how we're using them, maybe some of the different attack 176 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,480 Speaker 1: points that we've had offensively, and now they're going to 177 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 1: adjust and they're gonna, you know, compensate for that, and 178 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 1: now we have to kind of react and adjust and 179 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 1: go the opposite direction. And I think or for him 180 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 1: to be able to step in last week and you know, 181 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 1: get into his first full game back into the speed 182 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,559 Speaker 1: of which the Jets play, which will be very similar 183 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 1: to the Colts. The Colts are an extremely fast, aggressive defense. 184 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 1: These guys fly around, they do a great job with 185 00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 1: the disguise and really put a lot of pressure on 186 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 1: the quarterback. So it was good to see that and 187 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 1: we're gonna have to build on that as we go forward. Thanks, 188 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 1: you're welcome. Been voluntilled by Tom Kern and Matt. I 189 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 1: know how much I know how much emphasis you guys 190 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 1: put on ball security. So how much are you bothered 191 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:16,640 Speaker 1: by the turnovers and what can be done by it 192 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,840 Speaker 1: this year? Yeah? Um, I mean I think definitely we 193 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 1: put a huge impatis on ball security, and I think 194 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,080 Speaker 1: that's everybody, you know, it's everybody on offense, anyone that 195 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 1: touches the ball, anyone that's on that side of the ball. 196 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 1: We all take ownership in that and something that we 197 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,200 Speaker 1: work on every single day. I think the situations are different, 198 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,840 Speaker 1: you know, it's not always the same exact thing that 199 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:39,080 Speaker 1: happens all the time. And certainly you know, all of 200 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:42,439 Speaker 1: the situations on those plays come into effect and we've 201 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 1: got to improve those, work on those, put those situations 202 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:47,320 Speaker 1: in practice as much as we can to get everybody 203 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 1: comfortable and and really just try to limit the amount 204 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 1: of opportunities that you know, the defense has to attack 205 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 1: the ball like that. So from our standpoint, we work 206 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,679 Speaker 1: on it every day. Um. I think as the season 207 00:08:57,679 --> 00:08:59,439 Speaker 1: goes on, it's something that we're obviously keeping an eye 208 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,080 Speaker 1: on to make sure we're improving on and getting better 209 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 1: at as we go forward. And that's got to be 210 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 1: our focus every day absolutely. All right, last two questions, 211 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 1: Tom currentin de Cotarno. Hey, Matt, Hey, Tom, how are 212 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 1: we doing? Good? Man? I know that when you guys talk, 213 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 1: it's red zone efficiency, third down and turnovers and right now, 214 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:22,440 Speaker 1: you guys, I'm not telling anything you don't know. Twenty 215 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:26,720 Speaker 1: nine and red zone scoring sixteen turnovers so far and 216 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 1: seventeenth in overall in third down? Yeah, do you guys 217 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,680 Speaker 1: have a grip on the why of it? Like first 218 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,719 Speaker 1: step is admitting there's a problem. What do you say, Hey, 219 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 1: we're a victim of circumstance here, we're better than that. 220 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,080 Speaker 1: Where do you fall when you're trying to define? Okay, 221 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,320 Speaker 1: what are the problems and do we know how to 222 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 1: fix them? Are you there yet? Yeah? I think that's all, 223 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 1: you know, part of the conversation on percent You gotta 224 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 1: first of all, hey, what identify what's the issue? What 225 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 1: have we been doing that's causing us not to you know, 226 00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 1: continue our drives in the red area? What are the 227 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 1: problems that have gotten us off the field on third down? 228 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 1: You know? Or it may even happen within the game. 229 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,720 Speaker 1: Right So, certainly the other day really good on third 230 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,360 Speaker 1: down to start the game, had some really tough situations, 231 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 1: and there was like third and ten, third and long. 232 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 1: It just kept seeming like we're in really long yarded situations. 233 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 1: You know. Came out on the second half, we made 234 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 1: some adjustments on early downs, which we're really good, and 235 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:19,679 Speaker 1: then on third down, you know, we kind of got 236 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,559 Speaker 1: stuck obviously on a couple of those situations. So being 237 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 1: able to understand the why behind that, going back and 238 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:26,920 Speaker 1: fixing it. You know, it's kind of unique. This year, 239 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 1: I would say we have a lot of long drives. 240 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,559 Speaker 1: This year we have some fourteen play drives, eleven play drives, 241 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 1: and a lot of those drives we don't even have 242 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 1: a third down in the drive, which is pretty amazing 243 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 1: from that aspect of it. So just making sure that 244 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:41,680 Speaker 1: we're constantly staying on top of the situations that occur 245 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 1: on third down so that we can then go fix 246 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,720 Speaker 1: them and improve them and coaching better and obviously go 247 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:47,320 Speaker 1: execute them better. And that's what it's got to come 248 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,240 Speaker 1: down to. We just got to be better with those situations. 249 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,679 Speaker 1: And certainly the things that we do that self inflict us, 250 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 1: that cause us to be in longer yarded situations or 251 00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:59,840 Speaker 1: a list call it, statistically harder situations to convert are 252 00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 1: the ones that we have to avoid, you know, and 253 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:05,080 Speaker 1: that's that's where the emphasis has to be. Ye. Well, 254 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 1: thanks and last question to con Reinald. Hey, Matt, how 255 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:12,720 Speaker 1: are you doing good. How are we doing? Yes, just 256 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,599 Speaker 1: you've been around a game a while. How impressive is 257 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:17,960 Speaker 1: or more Stevenson to you with his all around skill 258 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 1: set and just you know, how much has he improved 259 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 1: in some of those other areas as a blocker, as 260 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,840 Speaker 1: a receiver. Yeah, you know, he's He's been fun to 261 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 1: watch coming in as obviously a rookie, you know, last year, 262 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 1: and seeing his development and growth over the last year 263 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 1: and just his his maturation, you know, to see him 264 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 1: kind of just understand the NFL game and how different 265 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 1: it was in college and for him to kind of 266 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:40,560 Speaker 1: embrace some of the things that we're asking him to 267 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:42,719 Speaker 1: do and grow and learn. And one of the things 268 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,240 Speaker 1: that he does a really good job of his um 269 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:47,959 Speaker 1: He sees the look and maybe it's the first time 270 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 1: he's seeing the look, but after that, I think he 271 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,079 Speaker 1: really understands what it is, and so the next time 272 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 1: it comes up, I think he does a really good 273 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,719 Speaker 1: job of recognize it in that moment and being able 274 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 1: to understand maybe the coaching points that we've put together 275 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 1: for him to handle that situation better. And I think 276 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 1: that's the biggest thing for him in his development that 277 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 1: he's been able to do is you know, see it 278 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,280 Speaker 1: for the first time, understand what it is, maybe um, 279 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:10,960 Speaker 1: you know, corrected, or just be able to recognize it 280 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:12,440 Speaker 1: so the second time it comes up, or the third 281 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 1: time it comes up, we can respond better or you know, 282 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:19,680 Speaker 1: to whatever we're trying to do in that in that situation. Great, 283 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 1: thank you, you welcome, Thank you, Matt, Thanks everyone, Okay, thanks, 284 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 1: have a great day.
