I 2 00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:05,720 Speaker 1: thought we did a lot of things, well, some things 3 00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:08,360 Speaker 1: obviously to clean up on like there always is. But 4 00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:14,120 Speaker 1: you know, today's my youngest daughter's birthday. So I was 5 00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:19,800 Speaker 1: asking her what she wanted for a present the other day, UM, 6 00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:22,959 Speaker 1: and she said a win, So give me a football 7 00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:27,040 Speaker 1: with my name on it. Dad. So that's pressure more 8 00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:29,240 Speaker 1: than anything else. Um, So I want to wish her 9 00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:32,840 Speaker 1: a happy birthday. Uh. And good a good win.

Um, you know, 13 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:44,080 Speaker 1: got hit on some bigger plays in the second half. 14 00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,680 Speaker 1: But you know overall, Um, you know, good team win 15 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 1: and you're ready to play Detroit on your defense. Consecutive 16 00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,680 Speaker 1: drives at the red zone, if moment turnovers. About that 17 00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 1: and the games, the text the lawns Leo william has 18 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,800 Speaker 1: had a money inside. Yeah, you know, two good players 19 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 1: for US, Um, two good leaders. I think I mistaken. 20 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 1: Leo got that first one out in there in the 21 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,600 Speaker 1: pile there, um, and then Belton made a good play 22 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:15,399 Speaker 1: after they hit a couple of big plays. You know, 23 00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 1: red zone defense. We've been playing it fairly well this year. Um, 24 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 1: this was in the fringe area, high red zone. Um, 25 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:25,280 Speaker 1: good plays. You know, everything starts up front, whether it's 26 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,840 Speaker 1: a defensive line of the offensive line, and Dexter and 27 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 1: Leo along with some other guys that have been playing 28 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 1: in there, have been doing a good job for us. 29 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 1: We're gonna continue to need that getting a game ball. 30 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 1: Her name is Avery, and yeah, figure something out to 31 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:43,759 Speaker 1: make sure she gets that. Yeah, assumed one was fresh 32 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 1: after the bye. Yeah, I mean you tell me. He 33 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,639 Speaker 1: looked at to me. No, I'm just I'm just messing 34 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 1: with you. Yeah, what do you have? Thirty five for two? 35 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 1: The thing, the thing I think with him is it 36 00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 1: takes a lot of shots. So you know, we try 37 00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:01,559 Speaker 1: to do the best jot we can in the medical staff, 38 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,560 Speaker 1: the sports science of of practicing him the right way. 39 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 1: And you know, this week he was fresh, so he 40 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,080 Speaker 1: was you know, he was a really good week of practice. 41 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 1: He was you know, we're handing the ball at the 42 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,240 Speaker 1: twenty and he's running down to the eight to the 43 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,399 Speaker 1: end zone eighty yards and then coming back and doing 44 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,360 Speaker 1: it again. So I thought that, you know, the stuff 45 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,359 Speaker 1: that he did during the week carried over. Obviously he's 46 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 1: having a good season for US. Um, he had a 47 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 1: good day. His slide at the end. What did you 48 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 1: think of him sliding to stay in bounds short of 49 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,799 Speaker 1: the first down? Yeah, um, you know, we would have 50 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 1: liked to get the first down, but you know, um, 51 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 1: you know we had a problem there in Jacksonville. So 52 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,080 Speaker 1: I think he was making sure no matter what, he 53 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 1: was going to stay in bounds and let the clock go. 54 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 1: So um, yeah, good game for him. How much at 55 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,359 Speaker 1: the end of the day, I know you're always you 56 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 1: always want to improve the mistakes, but how much at 57 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 1: the end of the day are you just you know, 58 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 1: happy to pull out a win no matter how it is. Hey, No, 59 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 1: you're you're always happy. Um, it beats the alternative. It's 60 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 1: hard to win in this league. I mean there's a 61 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 1: lot of good coaches, a lot of good teams, and 62 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 1: you know, like I said earlier in the week, if 63 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:13,519 Speaker 1: you you know play well, um you have a chance. 64 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 1: Doesn't guarantee you anything. If you do the things that 65 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 1: that cause you to lose, You're probably gonna lose no 66 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 1: matter what team you are, UM, who you play, where 67 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,239 Speaker 1: you play, what time you play. So our job is 68 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 1: just to focus on things that we could do. Um, 69 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: each drive, each play, each day, each practice, not get 70 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 1: too far ahead of you know, of ourselves in terms 71 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 1: of where the results are. Just stay in the moment. 72 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 1: From Dame, how much did you have to change? I'm 73 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 1: not having favor in there, like if you change Julius 74 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 1: possibilities at all. I mean, those guys are interchangeable. But 75 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 1: staying smart. Um, that's why we drafted him. We thought 76 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 1: he was a good player and he's very intelligent. UM. 77 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 1: So you know, you you're always gonna miss you know, 78 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 1: your captains, you're really really good players like x Is. 79 00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:00,080 Speaker 1: But I thought throughout the week Dane was practice and 80 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 1: well I was ready to go, and you know we 81 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 1: have no choice. Um, that's what we expect. As someone said, 82 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 1: he went into the extra your room. I don't know. 83 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 1: I don't know when you sit a veteran like Kenny, 84 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 1: do you say something to the player or two players 85 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: understand that? No. I think I think Mike. Mike addressed 86 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,720 Speaker 1: it with him. UM, and you know we went to 87 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,719 Speaker 1: Isaiah the second half. I think it's not worked with Kenny. 88 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 1: You know, I think there was the thought he'd come 89 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,159 Speaker 1: back from the injury. Pride a little bit. They'll lose. 90 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 1: I mean it's just after it's after one game. You 91 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 1: never know what can happen week to week. Um, go 92 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:32,280 Speaker 1: out there and try to have a good week of 93 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 1: practice and UM take it day by day. That was 94 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:40,359 Speaker 1: based off the drop that, Yeah, the one towards the 95 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 1: end of the first half. What the Isaiah playing? You know, 96 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 1: we just made a decision. We just made a decision 97 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 1: to play Isaiah. It's as simple as that. And I 98 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:53,720 Speaker 1: thought Isaiah did a good job, you know, being here 99 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 1: for a couple of days, coming in, making a couple 100 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,600 Speaker 1: of good plays, knowing what to do, being where you're 101 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,720 Speaker 1: supposed to be. UM, credit to him for the short 102 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,599 Speaker 1: amount of time he was here. UM, so I'm glad 103 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 1: we have them. What's it like, uh, formulating a conservative 104 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,360 Speaker 1: game plan maybe to protect your team from these peknesses. 105 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 1: I wouldn't say. I wouldn't say, I wouldn't Yeah, I 106 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 1: want to. I wouldn't use that word. I would just 107 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 1: use we try to do what we think we can do, um, 108 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,480 Speaker 1: which was run the ball for forty six times. I 109 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 1: think Jordan asked me, is as simple as just running 110 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 1: the ball with Sae Kwon Barkley. The answers no, because 111 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 1: they do a good job. They made some runs. But 112 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 1: each week we just do pat what we think we 113 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 1: need to do. UM for that particular game. You know, 114 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:39,719 Speaker 1: if it's sixty passes, it's sixty passes. And when we 115 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,360 Speaker 1: just that's what we do as a coaching staff, that's 116 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 1: what we'll always do. UM. I want to give it 117 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 1: a label. I would just say we try to do 118 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 1: the best job we can to formulate a plan and 119 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 1: make sure the players execute it. You had to chuckle 120 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 1: when I mentioned that question the other day, almost like 121 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 1: it almost seemed like, hey, yeah, you know we are 122 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 1: going to run the ball, like that's that's our advantage here. 123 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 1: How much was actually the case? Um? Well, look, I 124 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 1: think that we've done some good things in the running game. UM. 125 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 1: I think Bobby Johnson and Tony and Bish and DeAndre 126 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:12,720 Speaker 1: do a great job of of sitting down during the 127 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 1: week and and talking it over with Mike and players 128 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 1: understand what we want to do. And you know, se 129 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:24,280 Speaker 1: Kwan again, he had thirty six touches today. UM, you know, 130 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 1: is that gonna happen every week? I don't know, But that. 131 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 1: You know, we wanted to get him going and get 132 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,280 Speaker 1: our line going and try to win the line of scrimmage. 133 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:35,359 Speaker 1: And Daniel had out what one fifty three rating? Is 134 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:41,720 Speaker 1: that right? The right? So he's fishing difficult of a 135 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,480 Speaker 1: thrown was that he made to Slayeah? The guy was 136 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,479 Speaker 1: right in his face. Um, stand in the pocket and 137 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,160 Speaker 1: then Slay did a great job. You know again testament 138 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 1: to Slay. We've we've always talked about that earlier. And 139 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 1: you know what's gonna happen in preseason? Are you guys 140 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,600 Speaker 1: playing him too much? Are you trying to showcase some 141 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 1: like we've had confidence in him. Um, he's had to 142 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 1: earn it and he's had to fight through some tough times. 143 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 1: I'd say earning it. But he's done a really good 144 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 1: job for us. You know, call it. He's last. I 145 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 1: don't know, however many games of a performing when his 146 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 1: numbers called. And you know that's the type of guys 147 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 1: we we want. We gotta like cag from the practice 148 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 1: scord and get a t D and on side recovery. 149 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 1: I mean is that a bonus? Uh? I mean he 150 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 1: did his job again, Like whether it's him Isaiah, guys 151 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 1: that we haven't out a roster that. That's our job 152 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 1: as a coaching staff is to get these players ready, 153 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 1: to find guys that you know what that are out 154 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 1: there like Joe and the staff to and you know, 155 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 1: try to get them in here and see if they 156 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 1: can help us. And if they can, great, and if 157 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 1: they can't, you know, look for some more guys. Um. 158 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 1: But there's certainly a lot of things that that everybody, 159 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 1: start with me, can do better. Um. You know. But 160 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 1: it's good to get a win today, but you please 161 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 1: with power it to re handled the punk return. Yeah, yeah, 162 00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 1: we had a plan. Um, We're gonna use both of 163 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:05,560 Speaker 1: those guys based on situation. Richie in the dory. Um. Again, 164 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 1: they did a good job during the week. You know, 165 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 1: it's hard.

You know, Richie doesn't want 167 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 1: to fumble the ball, uh, and he does a good 168 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 1: job of catching punts for us, and I have confidence 169 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 1: in Richie. But again, you know, we had to make 170 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 1: a decision for this week what we thought was best, um, 171 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 1: And and that's what we went with.
