Speaker 1: Now, how has this off season been completely unique? Because

36
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 1: I don't know if a lot of people know about

37
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 1: what you typically have done in the off season as

38
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 1: far as your individual study to get you prepared.

39
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:41,759
Speaker 2: For this point.

40
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, listen, I would say this about eight eight to

41
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 3: nine years ago, I've actually been trying to think about

42
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 3: like switching actually from the.

43
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 2: Defense side to the to the offensive side.

44
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 3: So what I did, knowing I couldn't do that, but

45
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 3: what I did was I went out and I visited

46
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 3: a lot of coaches on the offensive side and just

47
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 3: talk offensive And I would say that it prepared me

48
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 3: to actually be a coach of the football team and

49
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,919
Speaker 3: not just the coach of defense. So when sometimes when

50
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 3: guys called me a defensive coach, me, I don't like

51
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 3: that because I am a coach and I coach offense,

52
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 3: defense and special teams, and I spend time make sure

53
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,799
Speaker 3: I study and build my craft as far as being

54
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 3: pretty good at that. So it's been a good ride.

55
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 3: I would say that for these last eight years to

56
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 3: prepare me to be in this position, I would say

57
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,239
Speaker 3: this also coach Sean Payton and Dan Campbell to the

58
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 3: really good job of putting me in positions to make

59
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 3: decisions to help me be in the spot right now too.

60
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:37,359
Speaker 2: So I give those guys a lot of credit.

61
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, you quickly correct everybody when they say you got

62
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 1: a defensive background. You said, I'm a coach. Yeah, yeah,

63
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: it used to be on the defensive side of the ball.

64
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 2: But I'm a.

65
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 3: Coach absolutely, and listen, that's one thing I want to

66
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,519
Speaker 3: be known for is listen, my offensive acumen is just

67
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,239
Speaker 3: as good as my defensive avcamy and special teams Offso

68
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 3: I think all three parts is what. But you need

69
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:00,679
Speaker 3: to be able to win a game. And I did

70
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 3: everything I could to be to learn and get really

71
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 3: really good at understanding all three phases. So, and I

72
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 3: think that's what a head coach is supposed to do.

73
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,079
Speaker 3: You know, no matter what, when the game go ons offense, defense,

74
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 3: and special team, that's on me, and I accept that responsibility.

75
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 3: So I don't want to be one of these guys

76
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 3: where the defense is playing good, okay, the good defensive

77
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 3: head coach the offense playing right not good, and okay,

78
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 3: that's not his responsibility.

79
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:25,359
Speaker 2: Yes, it is my responsibility.

80
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 3: So I want to make sure that all three phase

81
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 3: of the game has my fingerprint on it.

82
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 2: Can you talk.

83
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 1: About growing up in Bordersville, Texas, right outside Houston and

84
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 1: how that upbringing helped you prepare for your trajectory not

85
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:45,119
Speaker 1: only in a professional realm, but also as a man.

86
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 3: Absolutely, now, Listen, that was a tough place to grow

87
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 3: and tough place to come out of. I don't know

88
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 3: if I was the first, but I know I was

89
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 3: one of the only ones that actually graduated out of

90
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 3: a high school out of that neighborhood and end up

91
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 3: going to college and get a degree. And I know

92
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 3: for a fact making to the NFL. So it's this

93
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 3: shape me as a man. Listen, I would not have

94
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 3: wanted in any other way, right, because there are some

95
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 3: things that I've learned quickly as a young man on

96
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 3: how to defend myself and then also how to create

97
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 3: relationships with multiple people from different backgrounds, And I think

98
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 3: that's the one thing that helped me more than anything.

99
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 2: That.

100
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 3: Listen to any kid that coming to the NFL right

101
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 3: now that's coming on my team, Listen, I can relate

102
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 3: to you.

103
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 2: I don't care if you're a guy that you came

104
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 2: from the slums, if.

105
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 3: You guy it was middle of the roads, and you

106
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 3: guys that was born into from a billionaire, it doesn't matter.

107
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 2: I can speak the language of.

108
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 3: Any of those guys, and and I've been fortunate to

109
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 3: be able to address all three.

110
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 2: If you look at it that way.

111
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:50,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, how would you describe being one of eleven brothers

112
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 1: and sisters.

113
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 2: I'm a football team. Yeah, that's exactly what it is.

114
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,919
Speaker 3: And listen, my whole family was pretty athletic, from my

115
00:04:58,040 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 3: sisters and my brother.

116
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 2: Also, you guys know how to brother to play in

117
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 2: the NFL for eight years, nine years.

118
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 3: And just understanding that just how you operate together as

119
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 3: a family really looks like a football team because you

120
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,039
Speaker 3: have to be on the same page. Everything has to

121
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 3: be in order. With my dad, may share that was happening,

122
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 3: things in order, and it made you appreciate people just

123
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 3: in general. And listen, my family is the same. You know,

124
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,840
Speaker 3: I have three kids, I've been married for twenty eight years,

125
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 3: and we look at things the same way.

126
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 2: You know, things have to be in order how we operate,

127
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 2: and listen, we got each other's back.

128
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 3: The same thing with my family. You can't say anything

129
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,159
Speaker 3: bad about either one of us would jump into that.

130
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,679
Speaker 1: What do you think, Dad, I would think right now

131
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 1: at this moment, that man that you are in this situation.

132
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 3: Listen, if it's one thing that I wish could have

133
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,599
Speaker 3: happened in my lifetime, my dad see me as a

134
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 3: head coach, and listen, he's experienced a lot of good

135
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,119
Speaker 3: things within my life as far as making tenant.

136
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 2: He was with me at the draft, he was with

137
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 2: me when I made my first Pro Bowl man.

138
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 3: He was with me as I got into being a

139
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,840
Speaker 3: defensive back coach and he didn't get a chance to

140
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 3: be a coordinated which I wish he would have, and

141
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 3: then being a head coach man that had been the

142
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 3: ultimate for him. Because listen, he is proud of his kids,

143
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 3: and anything that we did. He was the one that

144
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 3: was holding the flag for us, knowing that he was

145
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 3: behind us. Listen, everything that I got is from him.

146
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 3: I know that for a fact. But he is a

147
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 3: man of hard work and I said, this was going

148
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 3: my mom never work and he was the one that

149
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:40,279
Speaker 3: supported eleven kids. Yeah, so man, he's an outstanding man

150
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 3: and everything that.

151
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:42,239
Speaker 2: Got from him a gd.

152
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: You take some lessons from him in terms of how

153
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: you deal with your players now, because it's interesting you

154
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 1: said it before. This is a different generation now and you.

155
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 2: Have to adapt to them.

156
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, Listen, when you have eleven kids, you have

157
00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 3: to be able.

158
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 2: To manage personalities.

159
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 3: And I'm talking about six sisters, five brothers, so that's

160
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 3: a lot of different personalities that you have to I'm

161
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 3: just talking about kids and that you have to be

162
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 3: able to manage. And just being able to watch that

163
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 3: and see how he was able to do it was

164
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 3: outstanding for me because it actually taught me a lesson

165
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 3: of everybody's different and you can't talk to everybody the same.

166
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 3: Some people need more of a hug, some people need

167
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 3: more demanding and being on them, And it actually taught

168
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 3: me that I was just sit there and watched him

169
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 3: do that and the way he raised us as a

170
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 3: as a family.

171
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:39,679
Speaker 2: I don't know if there's anybody better.

172
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 3: And you're right, it actually taught me how to just

173
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 3: deal with different type of personalities and be able to

174
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 3: teach look at each one as there's somebody different and

175
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 3: you have to treat them different.

176
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 4: The Official Jets Podcast is presented by Kendra Scott, the

Speaker 4: Day Ready, jewelry styles and so much more.

179
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:04,239
Speaker 1: At kend Can you speak about having no excuses? Because

180
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: I think if any coach would have a reason to

181
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 1: feel bad for himself would have bet you last year

182
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 1: when you guys were walking Mashire on that defensive side.

183
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 2: Of the ball. But you guys just kept on going.

184
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 3: Listen, this league is not going to stop for anybody,

185
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 3: And to me, that is the good thing about facility,

186
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 3: and it's the good thing about being a coach because

187
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 3: you get a chance, no matter what the situation is,

188
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 3: get to display how good of a coach you are.

189
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 3: Just by situations like that. We had I don't know,

190
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 3: eleven guys, don't know. I think we had three guys

191
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 3: that actually our true starters or actually that played. But

192
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 3: you know what, who cares? Who cares another coach. I

193
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 3: look forward to those situations. I look forward those moments

194
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 3: to go out and show not just me who I

195
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 3: am as a coach, but the players that that's probably

196
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 3: out the top of the line. Players get a chance

197
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 3: to go out there and play. And the one thing

198
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 3: that we championed is listen, it's not about the playbook,

199
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,439
Speaker 3: it's the play style. And our guys understand with that,

200
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 3: and they want to and played a style that listen.

201
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 3: No one else in the league play with us, and

202
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 3: that's just who we are. And I plan on bringing

203
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:07,439
Speaker 3: that style into.

204
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 2: The Jets also.

205
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 1: Well, the one thing you made clear today was that, Hey,

206
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 1: you can ask me about scheme all you want, but

207
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna look at who I have here and none

208
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 1: We're gonna align the scheme with the players in the built.

209
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 3: Absolutely, and I think that's the best coaches do that.

210
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 3: And I've heard Andy Reid talk, I've heard Mike Tomlin talk.

211
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 2: Listen, I've heard Pete Carroll talk.

212
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 3: Man, those are some of the things that they talk about.

213
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 3: Everyone has a scheme and that's great, but when you

214
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 3: start to mix and match players within your scheme. Now

215
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 3: you have to build your scheme to who you have.

216
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 3: I mean, Andy Ree is one of the better ones

217
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 3: in the world. I mean he was throwing the battle

218
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 3: all over the field when he had Tyreek Hill and

219
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 3: all those guys, a ton of explosive plays and then

220
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 3: he ends again.

221
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 2: But check going. I mean he's a.

222
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 3: Downhill, tough, run the ball between the tackles type of coach.

223
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 2: Now, you know. So I want to be that way.

224
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 3: I want to be a coach that makes sure that

225
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 3: I can adjust to whoever I have, and I'm going

226
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 3: to do everything I can to make sure I do that.

227
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 1: Can you speak to something that you talked about earlier?

228
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 1: Moving in silence this offseason the New York Jets.

229
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:19,680
Speaker 3: Listen, and in the off season, everybody's everybody's a champ,

230
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 3: everybody's going to the super Bowl, all right, But when.

231
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 2: The season starts, that really tells you who you are.

232
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 2: So I'll tell our guys listen. We don't have to talk,

233
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:27,840
Speaker 2: we don't have to say anything. The only thing we

234
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 2: need to do is get the work in.

235
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 3: And as the season progresses, as the season comes around,

236
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 3: then I'll talk and comes tout how we play, and

237
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 3: then we don't have to move in silence anymore.

238
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:40,320
Speaker 2: All right, then everything that we were doing right is

239
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 2: going to speak for itself. And that speaks bodence to me.

240
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 3: And that's how loud you speak, by what you what

241
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 3: you're records sending how you play. And we're doing all

242
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 3: this right now to.

243
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 1: Make sure we get to that you're the voice leading

244
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,959
Speaker 1: this thing. But how important from a player perspective was

245
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 1: to get two quarterbacks done in free agency where you

246
00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 1: guys go and target Justin fields and sign him, and

247
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 1: then on the defensive side of the ball, make sure

248
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:04,680
Speaker 1: Jamie Sherwood isn't going.

249
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 3: A couple of things on that first off, Like I

250
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:10,719
Speaker 3: think Moods did an outstanding job and his staff of

251
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 3: making sure that they understood exactly what I wanted to

252
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,959
Speaker 3: coach and how I want us to start the maneuver

253
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 3: with this new era of Jets football. And to be

254
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:25,200
Speaker 3: able to get Justin was huge for us because I

255
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,200
Speaker 3: believe in that man and I think he's ready to

256
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 3: break out to be a quarterback and we're going to

257
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 3: allow him to play quarterback and being to utilize his legs,

258
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 3: and then getting Surewood back.

259
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 2: Here's the one thing I want.

260
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,679
Speaker 3: To make sure we do as a Jets organization, of

261
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 3: the guys that we draft, we do a lot of

262
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 3: study on those guys, so we know those guys. We

263
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,319
Speaker 3: want to keep those guys back in house. The best

264
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 3: form of free agency is signing your own players, and

265
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 3: we want to make sure that we're that type of team.

266
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 3: So getting the quarterback on the offense, getting the quarterback

267
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 3: on the defense was huge for us. And now we

268
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 3: start to put other pieces around those guys to make

269
00:11:58,679 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 3: sure we're a top notch team.

270
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 1: Can you envision Justin and you say, oh, have an

271
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: opportunity to break out as a quarterback.

272
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 2: What do you mean by that? You know what?

273
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,199
Speaker 3: And this is just me watching from afar and I

274
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 3: played against him when he was in Chicago, US twice

275
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 3: a year. I think there were so many people talking about.

276
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 2: His legs as least as legs.

277
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 3: And when you go watch him at of Hohiwo State,

278
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,079
Speaker 3: and I watched every game out of Ohio State, and man,

279
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 3: he was back there letting it rip now and he

280
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 3: was making plays. I mean, you look at Gart's numbers

281
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 3: when he was out of Hohiow State. You look at

282
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 3: those other receivers number with teams out of Higo State.

283
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:31,679
Speaker 3: You look at the running back numbers when he was

284
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 3: at of Whigow State. Why can he do that? I mean, listen,

285
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 3: I know that he is a dynamic runner, but he's

286
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 3: been a dynamic pass when he was in college too.

287
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:40,679
Speaker 2: So I'm going to let him go out there and

288
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 2: do that and use his legs.

289
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 1: Of course, it's gonna pull a lot of pressure on

290
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 1: the posting defenses. I mean, that guy's a dual thread is.

291
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 1: He's averaged more than fifty yards per game on the

292
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 1: ground throughout his career. I want to ask you about

293
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:58,320
Speaker 1: Brandon Stevens. He said some interesting things about then that's

294
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: what we're looking for in terms of physical traits. I

295
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:03,199
Speaker 1: don't want to pick a fight with you because you

296
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 1: take me out right here, but man, you played on

297
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 1: the outside and you're talking about I like.

298
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 2: Having big guys on the outside. Listen this this game.

299
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 3: I really understand how this game has changed over the

300
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 3: years and to be disruptive on the edges and to

301
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 3: be able to be You have two corners, man, that

302
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 3: were well over six foot.

303
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:27,959
Speaker 2: They both have they both have.

304
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 3: Long warns and they can run and to not let

305
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 3: receivers just get into the teeth of your defense. It's

306
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,439
Speaker 3: critical to the success of how we want to play.

307
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 3: We want to be a tough, minded, physical, violent defense

308
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 3: to be able to put pressure on the offense to

309
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 3: where it. Man, your receivers are not just going to

310
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 3: be able to get up field. Man, you want those

311
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 3: type of corners that's out there. And that's what I

312
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 3: just believe in.

313
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,719
Speaker 2: Listen. I know Brandon, I know his weaknesses.

314
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:54,840
Speaker 3: I know, but the thing is my job as a

315
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 3: coach and the staff is to work on their weaknesses

316
00:13:57,559 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 3: and make sure that Weeks has become a strength of this.

317
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:01,680
Speaker 3: And I know what those are and I'm gonna make

318
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 3: sure I do everything I can to help that player.

319
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 1: You had forty one interceptions throughout your career.

320
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 2: You know how to take the football way.

321
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 1: How do you teach it to guys maybe like Sauce,

322
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 1: who is a very talented guy. Obviously you're gonna use

323
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 1: them different than past coaching staffs to have. And then

324
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: also Stevens as well.

325
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, here's the one thing I know one of you

326
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 3: loves those guys. I want those guys to play man

327
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 3: cover because they're pretty damn.

328
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 2: Good at it.

329
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 3: But there's also situations where they have to be able

330
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 3: to see the quarterback and they have to be able

331
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 3: to anticipate and be able to make jumps and balls

332
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 3: to go to go make those players. So I want

333
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 3: to be able to give those guys that there's other

334
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 3: ways to take the ball away. Also, I mean, we're

335
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 3: going to be a team that's going to be after

336
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 3: the ball no matter what every play. If you're not

337
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 3: after the ball, you're not going to fit in on

338
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 3: this team because there's gonna be so many people that's

339
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 3: going to buy into that method.

340
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 2: If you look at the defense over the years that I've.

341
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 3: Had, and that's one thing that we did a really

342
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 3: good job of, it's punching the ball out, so not

343
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 3: just interceptions, being able to punch the ball out and

344
00:14:58,440 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 3: getting population.

345
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 2: To the ball. It's critical to us playing really good defense.

346
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 2: Maximum effort is one of the things that we're gonna

347
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 2: We're gonna.

348
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 3: Chat and the only way you can get the ball

349
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 3: back is playing.

350
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 2: With maximum effort, and that's getting everybody to the ball.

351
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 1: Speaking about taking the ball away, so you like the

352
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 1: history that you've seen from Cisco, and he's coming home

353
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 1: an interesting story. He grew up I mean he was

354
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 1: born in Queen's grew up in Valley.

355
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 2: Stream, no doubt.

356
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 3: Listen, there's a lot of different stories, even my story.

357
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 3: You know his story.

358
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 2: Man. It's a reason why this.

359
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 3: Team was built the way it's built right now, and

360
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 3: everything is coming forward circle.

361
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 2: To be honest with you.

362
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 3: And you're right, he's a guy that's gonna help with

363
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 3: Cisco as far as taking the ball away. And he's

364
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 3: been a guy that's just caught you know, I don't know,

365
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 3: like eight or nine interceptions while he's been in this league.

366
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 3: So listen, I'm looking forward to how this secondary is

367
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 3: gonna play. He's got a big the physical they're intimidating,

368
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 3: and that's exactly what we want to.

369
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 2: Bring to this game. You've been gracious with your time.

370
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 1: I got two quick ones.

371
00:15:58,280 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 2: Oh good.

372
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 1: Youth movement. Is that something that you and Mooje talked

373
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 1: about from the get go? You a five players on

374
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 1: this roster who are thirty third north.

375
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, here's the and again moved to the great job

376
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 3: of understanding exactly how I want this team to look.

377
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 3: And obviously we got the quarterback on both sides, and

378
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 3: then what we want to do is make sure we

379
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 3: rebuild our secondary and then the next thinglish managed to

380
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 3: get younger as a team, and right now I think

381
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 3: we might be one of the top in the top

382
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 3: ten as far as your youngest team in the league.

383
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 2: And that was by design.

384
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 3: I'm a huge component of knowing this a young man's game.

385
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 3: I'm a huge component that understand that. Listen, you have

386
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 3: to play the young player and understand it's our job

387
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 3: to mold, teach, and get those guys to understand exactly

388
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 3: how we try to operate. And there's nothing better than

389
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 3: that than having youth on the field because they're going

390
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 3: to sit there and listen to you and souk up

391
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 3: everything you say, not saying that veterans won't. Yeah, all right,

392
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 3: but when you have those guys, you can mold them

393
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 3: how you want them as a team.

394
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 1: Final one, I'm not going to ask you who you're

395
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 1: going to take. Number seven options on the table. Right

396
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 1: after working on some depth and free agency, you get

397
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 1: some front like guys in here. The one thing that

398
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:10,359
Speaker 1: struck me and coming full circle, is that you said

399
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 1: number one of my coaches, we got to be able

400
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 1: to teach done. Number two, you got to be able

401
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:17,920
Speaker 1: to develop. Can you elaborate on it?

402
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:22,679
Speaker 3: Listen, As a coach, there's nothing better in this league

403
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,680
Speaker 3: than number one, be able to make a complex game

404
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:26,919
Speaker 3: like very simple.

405
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:28,920
Speaker 2: And that's the teaching aspect of it.

406
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:31,919
Speaker 3: And then number two, if we end up getting a

407
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 3: free agent, can you make that free agent operate like

408
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 3: a draft pick. Can you make that six to seven

409
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 3: round to operate like a third round? Can you make

410
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 3: that third run to operate like a first round? And

411
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 3: can you make the first running around? I go jacket

412
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 3: at some time. And that's really the the crux of

413
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 3: who we are as coaches is development and making these

414
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:53,360
Speaker 3: guys play above their draft status, of above who they

415
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,680
Speaker 3: thought who actually they thought they could play at because

416
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 3: that's when you get the trust of the players.

417
00:17:58,040 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 2: And when you get trust of the players, you get

418
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 2: the trust of the team.

419
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 3: Now they will follow you no matter what the situation is.

420
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:05,399
Speaker 3: They'll be behind you, hundrestand because they know that they

421
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:07,359
Speaker 3: will get better. And to me, that's what you are

422
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:07,920
Speaker 3: the coach.

423
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:11,359
Speaker 1: A g enjoyed it, man, I can't wait to speak

424
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 1: to you again.

425
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 2: I appreciate it, Buddon. I do looking forward to this
