00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,559
Speaker 2: to really lock into the details, pay attention to the details,

13
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 2: and really put it together. On Sundays again, I thought

14
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:45,879
Speaker 2: they played hard, they played physical. It was really exciting

15
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 2: for what Ben Cleveland. Did you know that on that

16
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 2: field goal block? I mean what just what an exciting

17
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 2: moment for him, A guy that asked, a guy that

18
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 2: wanted to be on there and then you know, found

19
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 2: an opportunity to get him out there and see what

20
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 2: he can do. Moving forward to this week, you know,

21
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 2: we got a we got a great challenge Monday night, football,

22
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 2: just just for our guys, man, I just want to

23
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 2: see them go out play their hardest, continue to get

24
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,119
Speaker 2: better and uh and just take it one play at

25
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 2: a time. Just kind of that's been our focus and

26
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 2: that's what we're doing out here, uh, Tuesday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday,

27
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 2: just trying to get better so we can go play

28
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 2: our best football questions.

29
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 3: You may have just referenced it, but a lot of

30
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 3: players are real happy to be Cleveland.

31
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 4: But what goes into that decision to have because it's

32
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 4: only been a week or two that he had done that,

33
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 4: So what goes into the.

34
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 5: Decision to have him out there?

35
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 2: You know, honestly, when you when you think about it,

36
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,960
Speaker 2: when it when it first came up, those decisions are

37
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 2: made through like, okay, who you have up, who's available

38
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 2: on the defensive line, because those are usually the guys

39
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 2: you want to put out there first. And then I

40
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 2: think at one point Harps came over to me and goes, well,

41
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 2: if you if you are running shore, we do have

42
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 2: Ben Cleveland. We can think about that.

43
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 5: And I was like, Ben Cleveland, he's big, you know,

44
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 5: that's that's you need a big guy out there, right?

45
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 5: You think about all the defensive linement, like okay, I

46
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 5: got a big guy. This guy's a giant. He puts

47
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 5: his arm up. Oh yeah, this is good. Okay.

48
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 2: So then so then I gotta go back and I

49
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,919
Speaker 2: gotta figure out, Okay, who can I sub him in for?

50
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 2: So the defensive line guys don't get mad at me,

51
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:12,639
Speaker 2: but like, hey, you're gonna take me out to put

52
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 2: Ben in there.

53
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 5: So you got to think about those things.

54
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 2: And then when you go through and you're like, okay,

55
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 2: this is a good week for him because we had

56
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 2: we were missing the defensive lignement. So got him out there,

57
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 2: let him rush man, and he got he got his hand.

58
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 5: On the ball.

59
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 2: But again, it goes back to a conversation that I

60
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 2: had with Ben sitting on the bus and he was like, Coach,

61
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 2: I did this in high school.

62
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 5: I think I can help you. And here's me.

63
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 2: It's like okay, all right, we're gonna try to figure

64
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 2: this out. And we got him out there and he

65
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 2: kind of changed that game for us. So really excited

66
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,920
Speaker 2: for him, man. And when a guy tells you he

67
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 2: wants to do something, then you believe in him because

68
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 2: he truly really wants to be out there. And give

69
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:49,359
Speaker 2: you his all to do whatever he's got to do

70
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 2: to help the team.

71
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 5: I think he's earned himself a full time role. You know.

72
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:56,639
Speaker 2: It's just it's an opportunity to kind of get him

73
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 2: out there, let him play. And you know, if we

74
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 2: are short here and there, I know I got a

75
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 2: guy even if I even if I do take him

76
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 2: off the field, I know I always have a guy

77
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,080
Speaker 2: in the back on the back end to put out there.

78
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 5: And now he's gonna give you everything.

79
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 4: He's got that other than just I mean, we obviously

80
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 4: we see the stature, but like you.

81
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 2: Know, I mean that's really that's really where it starts, right,

82
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 2: I mean, you got it. You can't you can't put

83
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,079
Speaker 2: like little little little guys out there, you know what

84
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,239
Speaker 2: I'm saying, Guys that guys that don't have any reach.

85
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 2: When these guys kick these long field goals and that

86
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:26,639
Speaker 2: and that ball is short.

87
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 5: So you need a big guy, you need a giant.

88
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 2: You need a guy that's got some reach, a guy

89
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 2: that can get his hands up you can get somewhat

90
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 2: off the ground.

91
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 5: Right.

92
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 2: Uh, that's really what that's really what makes those guys.

93
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 2: And then when you watch just those plays across the league.

94
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 2: It's all want to right. It's just a guy that

95
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 2: wants to go out there and realize that there there

96
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 2: are points to be had, uh from the other team,

97
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 2: and and how can we affect that?

98
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 5: Right, So go out there and give your.

99
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 2: All executed and sometimes you don't get it, but if

100
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 2: you just keep applying pressure, those things happen that before. Actually,

101
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 2: I have not used offensive line since I've been here

102
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 2: in that role just because our defensive guys have been

103
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 2: so have been so good. But I but pat Rick

104
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 2: Card actually played out there for us when he was

105
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 2: playing fullback and we line him up and he actually

106
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 2: blocked a field goal against the Jets.

107
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 5: So I mean, any look, we don't care who you are.

108
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 2: It's just a matter of when we put you out there,

109
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 2: are you going to give us everything you got on

110
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 2: the play? And those guys were out there and it's

111
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 2: paid off for him.

112
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:26,600
Speaker 6: I know, obviously you don't want to mess with a

113
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 6: good thing. But you know, is the difference between from

114
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 6: someone like Ben and there and someone like Dana filat

115
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 6: Layers even bigger? Just a matter of experience?

116
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's not it's not really so much

117
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 2: about experience.

118
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 5: I mean you just don't.

119
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,600
Speaker 2: You wouldn't put Daniel out there because he's playing a

120
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 2: lot on offense, right, So you just think you think

121
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,599
Speaker 2: about the guys that are in those reserve roles on

122
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 2: on who can help you and how can they help you.

123
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 2: It's not to say, you know, if it came down

124
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 2: to it, we couldn't say, okay, hey, this is a

125
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 2: long field goal.

126
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 5: Ay Dan, you you want to get this one.

127
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 2: We could potentially do that if we felt like doing that,

128
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 2: but that's not something I don't think that we would

129
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 2: work towards.

130
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,599
Speaker 3: Chris. We've seen a dating back to the summer and

131
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 3: ot as and obviously he had some personal stuff going

132
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 3: on at different points, and he's been banged up. He's

133
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 3: banged up again this week. How much has been tough

134
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,919
Speaker 3: to get into rhythm uh in the return game with

135
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 3: Hardy kind of being on and off the practice field.

136
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 2: You know, it's been it's been complicated, but you know

137
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,479
Speaker 2: for us, for us, it's just like, you know, Hardy's

138
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 2: our guy, and and and and we believe in him,

139
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 2: and when he's healthy and he's in the right place,

140
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 2: we know he can be a difference maker for us.

141
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 2: And it's kind of it's kind of like you said,

142
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 2: he's been he's been going through a lot, he's been

143
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 2: dealing with a lot. But it's not it's not so

144
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 2: much of just just that one guy making the difference

145
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 2: for us, because we believe like it takes eleven guys

146
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 2: really to get the return going. And uh and you

147
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 2: guys that you guys have seen that over the years

148
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 2: from it doesn't really matter who we put back there

149
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,280
Speaker 2: if the ten other guys up front take care of

150
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 2: their business and they and they block the play the

151
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 2: way the plot should, the play should be eight any returner,

152
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 2: I feel like we put back there, it's gonna get

153
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,159
Speaker 2: yards for us. It's gonna it's gonna have a great

154
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 2: opportunity to score, to hit big returns.

155
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,039
Speaker 5: So but but as far as as far as that,

156
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 5: I mean, we just.

157
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 2: Work on Okay, who's who's available and who's not available,

158
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 2: and we just run our plays and we work from there.

159
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:21,719
Speaker 1: Next up is offensive coordinator time.

160
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 3: Monkey. The big kind of word for you is is

161
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 3: drag and reducing the amount of drag. I mean, how

162
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:31,799
Speaker 3: good you think.

163
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,720
Speaker 6: This offense is in terms of getting rid of those

164
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 6: things your way?

165
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 7: We've been better, you know, in a lot of ways,

166
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,599
Speaker 7: but it is week to week. You know, can't carry

167
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 7: over points and yards, just can't. I mean it's week

168
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 7: to weekly. You try to tell that to your guys.

169
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 7: I think they've handled it really well, you know. I

170
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 7: get there's a week between games, so there's a lot

171
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 7: to talk about, you know, about what it's looked like

172
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 7: or what we've been But we got to do it

173
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 7: this week obviously, you know, against a really good football team,

174
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 7: really good defense. So our guys have had a good

175
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 7: couple of days and you know they've been focused.

176
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 8: You know, we really have.

177
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 7: So you know, we've got to continue to put it

178
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 7: all together and all the areas that matter, which we

179
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 7: have been.

180
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 3: What's impressed to you about Lamar finding you know, a

181
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 3: workable answer, right answer, reporting staff.

182
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 8: But it's been doing great. You know, it's second year

183
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 8: in the system.

184
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 7: We've streamlined some things, we're doing it better as a staff,

185
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 7: we're doing it better in practice. I think we're detailing

186
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 7: it out better. I think the guys are more and

187
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 7: more comfortable. You know, Bait's been healthy, you know, really

188
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 7: throughout the off season and now Zay Flowers second year

189
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 7: in it, Mark and big Z being healthy, adding you know, Derek,

190
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 7: So we've got a lot of pieces, you know, and

191
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 7: it's just just our second year together. But again we

192
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 7: got to do it this week.

193
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 6: To that point, what Jamar we talked about that that

194
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 6: level of kind of being much more comfortable the second year.

195
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 6: I'm curious as as a coach, like, how did how

196
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 6: did you how would you describe your comfort level in

197
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 6: terms of where the execution is where you ultimately kind

198
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 6: of want to get to.

199
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 7: We're much further ahead. I mean, you know, you have

200
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 7: an off season to look back at what you did,

201
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 7: what you thought was the answers or the way you

202
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 7: want to go about it, and uh, you know, we're

203
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 7: just we're doing things better. Our guys are playing at

204
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:40,079
Speaker 7: a high level. I think we're just we're all doing

205
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 7: it better. It's not just the players, you know, obviously

206
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 7: us having a system that they can wrap their arms around,

207
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 7: build confidence in that's detailed out, because the players make

208
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 7: it come to life. But not if they don't understand,

209
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 7: you know, what we're trying to accomplish or how we

210
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 7: do it, or how we do it every day in

211
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 7: the field, it doesn't come to life on the field.

212
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 7: And so that's up to us to streamline things and

213
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 7: to continue to do it better each week.

214
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 8: And then the challenges.

215
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 7: You're playing someone really good who sees what you do

216
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,439
Speaker 7: well and they're going to counter that, and then how

217
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 7: do you continue to do it better and evolve.

218
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 4: Good to you about this offensive line, because it seemed

219
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,559
Speaker 4: like the early part is time trying to feel his way,

220
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,680
Speaker 4: but it's progressively gotten better each week.

221
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 8: Well, Roger's only going to get better. You know.

222
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 7: We ended up moving pat to guards, so we've had

223
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 7: a little continuity there. We've run the ball better, we've

224
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 7: stayed ahead of the chains better. That's a formula for

225
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 7: us to continue to get better. First two games we

226
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 7: had a lot of two minutes get back on track

227
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 7: third downs that are going to expose anybody. It's not

228
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 7: just our old line, everybody. And I think they're going

229
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 7: to continue to grow because even Daniel right guard's a

230
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 7: young player in terms of play has it played a

231
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 7: ton and we played him a lot of tackle. I mean,

232
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 7: he's still learning the guard position. So I think they're

233
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,439
Speaker 7: just going to continue to grow. Ronnie's playing great football

234
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 7: for us. Having Ronnie back at a high level. Obviously,

235
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,200
Speaker 7: Tyler always plays at a high level. So I think

236
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 7: we're I think we're in a good spot.

237
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, you guys ranked number one and a third down percentage.

238
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 3: There's a lot of reasons for that. But how important

239
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 3: has Justice Hill been in blitz pick up and just

240
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 3: how much have you grown to both appreciate and trust

241
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 3: how he kind of sticks his nose in there.

242
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 8: Yea, Justice does a great job.

243
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,839
Speaker 7: You know, he's a weapon out of the backfield, and

244
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 7: he does a great job on passport, really understands, you know,

245
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 7: what we're trying to do. And I'm afraid to stick

246
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 7: his nose in there, and you know so. And with

247
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 7: our depth at running back, you know it's being banged up.

248
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 7: It's been everything for us on third downs and situational football.

249
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 4: With you're talking about the offensive the line of Daniel,

250
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 4: I mean, do you feel like he has made notable

251
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 4: progress even from week one and two to now?

252
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 8: Sure? Sure. I think there's.

253
00:10:55,960 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 7: A difference between practice, preseason games, playing tackle, playing guard,

254
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 7: communication with who's next to you, you know, when it's

255
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 7: Daniel and it's Pat, or it's Daniel and Roger or

256
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 7: and then just the calls and then just seeing it

257
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 7: all the things that those guys have to see movement

258
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 7: because it's the game's no longer standing still. You know,

259
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 7: the D line moves and the linebackers plug and they pressure,

260
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:26,199
Speaker 7: and then you get calls late. Then every day you're

261
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 7: going to continue to develop. If you're diligent in your approach,

262
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 7: which Daniel has been.

263
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 3: With fle first two weeks, will struggle.

264
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 9: He's been a little far superior since then. Just in

265
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 9: those two first games, did you see the makings of

266
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,679
Speaker 9: what you were anticipating and developing into and what he's

267
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 9: kind of reformed into now.

268
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 8: I think he's still developing as a player, I do.

269
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 7: I think he's still a young player at guard, you know,

270
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 7: learning how to like any player, not just a young player,

271
00:11:56,360 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 7: but the stamina to do it for sixty plays, you know,

272
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 7: and not flash. And there is a point where you

273
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 7: get to all right, I'm comfortable in knowing what to do.

274
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 8: What's now? Okay the looks that we see.

275
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 7: It's one thing to have your assignment, but then when

276
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 7: the bullets start flying against the best in the world,

277
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 7: multi millionaires that are paid to not let you block them,

278
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 7: not let them stop you from getting the quarterback, that's

279
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 7: a lot of times easier said than done. So I

280
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 7: think he's really come a long way. He's only going

281
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 7: to continue to grow as a player. He's only still

282
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 7: just scratching the surface of what he can be.

283
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:35,239
Speaker 8: Much has been made.

284
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 4: Of opponents for putting that extra player up near the

285
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 4: line of scrimmage, whether that's to account.

286
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 3: For al Lamar or Derek.

287
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,319
Speaker 4: I mean, do you do you think you'll keep seeing

288
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,319
Speaker 4: that even though you guys have played very well against

289
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 4: it the last.

290
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 7: Few weeks ago, I don't know, you know, each team's

291
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 7: gonna pose different issues for us.

292
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 8: Tampa is built differently than Washington is.

293
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 7: Washington was different than Cincinnati was, you know, So we'll see,

294
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 7: you know, But most of the teams that you play,

295
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,839
Speaker 7: Joe Witt is a tremendous defensive coordinator, Todd Bowles is

296
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 7: an elite defensive coordinator. Lou An Romo, they're really good coordinators.

297
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 7: Like they're gonna do what they do. I mean, they

298
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,239
Speaker 7: haven't gotten to where they've got without really.

299
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 8: Still sticking to their core principles.

300
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 7: So with that being said, there's gonna be some nuances

301
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 7: that we have to be able to adjust because we've

302
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 7: changed a little bit, you know. So as we change

303
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 7: and we put things on film. We have to be

304
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 7: ready to adjust. I mean, that's just the way it is.

305
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 10: I have to ask this finally, of why do you

306
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 10: carry the call in front of your plants there?

307
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 11: I'll always talk.

308
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 8: Yeah, I don't.

309
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 7: I don't get the big deal, Like, I mean, where

310
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 7: else am I gonna put it?

311
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 8: What else? I laminate it? And I don't know what

312
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 8: else you want me to do it?

313
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 5: Do you?

314
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 7: I mean, I've always put it there. I don't know

315
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,199
Speaker 7: what the big deal. Some times maybe it's been covered

316
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 7: up or being like this.

317
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 5: I don't.

318
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:05,679
Speaker 8: I really don't get it.

319
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:07,680
Speaker 5: Huh, you don't.

320
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:09,959
Speaker 8: That's not true. That's absolutely not true.

321
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:13,320
Speaker 7: It's they enjoy it because we're moving to football and

322
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:14,200
Speaker 7: we're successful.

323
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 8: It wouldn't mean a damn thing if we were. I

324
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 8: don't get it, Like it makes sense.

325
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 7: And if you're grabbing onto something because we've been playing good,

326
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 7: that's fine, that's awesome, you know, hopefully hopefully that's the reason.

327
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 8: I mean, if that was as simple as that, I'll

328
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 8: make it even bigger. I mean, we can go bigger

329
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 8: if that helps.

330
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 1: Next is defensive coordinator Zach Worth.

331
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 12: Yeah, doing alrighty man, that's good.

332
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 11: What do you see what you know, going against pick

333
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 11: me fields and all that.

334
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 5: Have you seen any difference in him.

335
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 8: Into this season.

336
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 12: I mean from an ability standpoint, no, I haven't seen

337
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 12: much difference.

338
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 5: Man.

339
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 12: We always had a lot of respect for Baker Mayfield.

340
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 12: He's a good, a very good quarterback. He's real competitive.

341
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 12: I think that's the thing that sticks out about him.

342
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 12: He has that never die mindset and play style where

343
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 12: he's gonna try to stay alive every second of the

344
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 12: play and try to make something happen for him for

345
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 12: his offense, and he's done it. I think the thing

346
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 12: that's been really impressive with him in Tampa this year

347
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 12: is just kind.

348
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 11: Of the freedom I see.

349
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 12: I feel like I see at the line of scrimmage

350
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 12: that he has the check in and out of plays

351
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 12: to get him in the in the right look.

352
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 11: So he's done a great job with that.

353
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 12: I think that's gonna be a big challenge and a

354
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 12: big chess match for us to kind of not give

355
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 12: him the answers of what we're in and not let

356
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 12: him try to check in a great play uh that

357
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 12: they want to be in. So I think that's the

358
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 12: biggest difference I see for this year is just you

359
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 12: know them giving him more of the keys of the offense.

360
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 11: Maybe in in previous.

361
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 4: Years he's short a lot relying on yak What you know,

362
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 4: what's sort of the checklist.

363
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 12: For you guys in terms of countering that man, You

364
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 12: gotta you gotta tackle, you gotta tackling, you gotta tackle

365
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 12: in space man.

366
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 11: And they one of the top rack teams in the league. Uh,

367
00:15:59,280 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 11: they they'll do.

368
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 12: The dudes get a good job of getting north and

369
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 12: south when they catch the ball. Got all those guys

370
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 12: got mean stiff farms. So we got to get more

371
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 12: a lot of hats to the ball. We got to

372
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 12: get them hats to the ball, corral them and then

373
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 12: eliminate the yards have to catch because that's where they

374
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 12: make a lot of their plays at.

375
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 8: So I got a lot of those lines.

376
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 6: Thinker's been really good too, in the middle of the field,

377
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 6: past an area where times you guys have struggled. What

378
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 6: do you think is held you back there? And if

379
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 6: there's if there's one thing or what do you sort

380
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 6: of look to improve against.

381
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 12: Yeah, I think it was just us improving just our

382
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 12: fundamentals and just simplifying everything and just everybody doing their job.

383
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 12: I don't think it's one particular person or one particular

384
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:42,119
Speaker 12: call or one particular coverage. It's kind of like everybody's

385
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 12: doing their job and then somebody doesn't and then the

386
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 12: offense is finding it.

387
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 11: So we've been working hard at that. We know that's

388
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 11: an issue.

389
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 12: So we're trying to make sure we take care of

390
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 12: the middle of the field because like, like, like I've

391
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 12: got up here and talked about you want to make

392
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 12: quarterbacks throw outside outside the numbers as much as possible.

393
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:04,120
Speaker 1: Stevens and Wiggins get some extra repchs after practice. What's

394
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 1: been the focus there. What's the kind of saying about

395
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 1: those two guys beginning to actually work after practice?

396
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 11: Man, It's great.

397
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 12: We always encourage people, man, to work on their craft,

398
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:12,399
Speaker 12: not just with us, but on their own, and I

399
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,639
Speaker 12: think that just shows the competitiveness and the willingness to

400
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 12: continue to get better. And those guys have been playing

401
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 12: good football for us, but they know they can go

402
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 12: to another level. We know they can go to another level,

403
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 12: and the focus is just on technique and fundamentals.

404
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 8: Man.

405
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,719
Speaker 12: Like the big message for us and our guys this week, man,

406
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 12: it's about us, man, And you know, if we do

407
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 12: what we're supposed to do fundamental wise, technique wise, communication wise,

408
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 12: then you know, we'll go out there and feel like

409
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:38,120
Speaker 12: we'll play a really good game.

410
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,640
Speaker 9: A player that maybe hasn't played up to their standard

411
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:45,400
Speaker 9: or expectation, as Marcus Williams have, you had a conversation

412
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 9: with him and just what's kind of a way that

413
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,479
Speaker 9: you can get him in better spots to you know,

414
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:53,960
Speaker 9: make bigger plays down the stretch.

415
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 11: This yeah, man, I mean Marcus Williams.

416
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 12: First thing, we still got the utmost you know, faith

417
00:17:58,520 --> 00:17:59,199
Speaker 12: and belief in them.

418
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,639
Speaker 11: A lot of stuff. He's a safety, so on.

419
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 12: Film and on TV and during the games, he's a

420
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,679
Speaker 12: last line of defense, so it always looks like he

421
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 12: might be at fault, but that's far.

422
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:08,639
Speaker 11: From the truth.

423
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:08,880
Speaker 12: Man.

424
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 11: He's doing some good things.

425
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 12: Obviously, just like a lot of a lot of our guys.

426
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:14,159
Speaker 12: He can he can play better and he knows that

427
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,679
Speaker 12: and he's working at that. And my biggest thing in

428
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 12: him is like, man, you you back there for a reason,

429
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 12: We brought you here for a reason. You've made many

430
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,919
Speaker 12: impact plays in this league, not just at your previous

431
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,360
Speaker 12: spot but for us, and he's made plays this year.

432
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:29,920
Speaker 12: So just had that confidence you want the top free

433
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 12: safeties in the league.

434
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,920
Speaker 11: Go go beat that. And that's what our conversation has been.

435
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 12: And I think he's looked honestly up to this point.

436
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:38,880
Speaker 12: I think this has been his best week of practice

437
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:40,639
Speaker 12: during the season so far. I mean, he's got his

438
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 12: hands on the football. He's made some plays that we

439
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 12: are customed to seeing. So I'm excited. I'm excited. I

440
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 12: think that we're gonna see Marcus Williams really turn it

441
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 12: up in these next couple of games.

442
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 10: When you look at this Ben's kind of analytics, it

443
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 10: should you guys are forcing a ton of really tight

444
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 10: coverage throughs. You know, they're they're not a lot of

445
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 10: open wide receivers open. You're well, I know you're always

446
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 10: looking at what can you improve on, but you also

447
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 10: look at that stuff and say, hey, I think we're

448
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 10: covering better than this tests show.

449
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 11: Yeah, definitely.

450
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 12: I mean we looked at our explosive passes. Obviously some

451
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 12: stuff that we can clean up for sure, you know,

452
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 12: scheme wise, and guys, you know communication technique wise, but

453
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:21,399
Speaker 12: a lot of the plays, I mean you got to

454
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 12: give your hats off to the to the quarterback and

455
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 12: the receiver. I mean they're making great throws and great

456
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:28,919
Speaker 12: catches on the sideline going to the ground, and we

457
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 12: just continue to teach our guys man like, keep on

458
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:34,360
Speaker 12: competing at the catch point, keep on competing, make them,

459
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:36,359
Speaker 12: make them have to make the tough throws and catches

460
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 12: in We honestly believe that we won't lose games.

461
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 11: Because of that.

462
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:45,680
Speaker 12: And I think some of our shortcomings hasn't been because

463
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:48,120
Speaker 12: of the tight window catches that they've made. It's been

464
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:51,160
Speaker 12: the other plays when they haven't been contested. So, uh,

465
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 12: we're fine with that, man, our guys we're gonna make

466
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 12: more of those plays, uh than not.

467
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:59,200

Speaker 4: whether whether it comes to this week or next week

00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,120
Speaker 4: or whenever, is that gonna make your job a little

470
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 4: more complicated in terms of finding work for him and

471
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 4: ar Darius and Eddie Jackson and et cetera, et cetera.

472

473
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 12: I mean, it's it's a it's a deep talented group,

474
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 12: Like we still believe that.

475
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 11: You know, obviously it is what it is what we've.

476
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:17,160
Speaker 12: Done so far this season, but it's still a very

477
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,359
Speaker 12: talented group and it's gonna be tough to try to

478
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 12: find different ways to get guys.

479
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 11: On the field. But it's it's good though, you know

480
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:23,119
Speaker 11: what I mean. It means it.

481
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 12: I think it brings kind of a good like mid

482
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 12: season competition of you know, who can go out there

483
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 12: and go do what? Who can go execute at the

484
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 12: best and at the highest level. And you know the

485
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 12: guys that can do that that'll probably be out there.

486
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 6: What did on what have you seen from our Darius

487
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:39,000

Speaker 6: you see from that?

490
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:42,120
Speaker 5: Man?

491
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 12: I just see a guy that goes out there, and

492
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,159
Speaker 12: I mean when the ball comes away, makes plays.

493
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 8: Man.

494
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 11: He's explosive, he flies around.

495
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 12: He's a guy who offers offers us a lot of

496
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 12: versatility because he can play safety, he can play nickel,

497
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:55,399
Speaker 12: he can play don, he can do a lot of

498
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 12: different things. And then, like I said, ever since he's

499
00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 12: been in there throughout the whole season, a I know,

500
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:03,119
Speaker 12: the ball comes ad way so more times than now

501
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:03,920
Speaker 12: he's gonna make a play.

502
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 11: So I'm excited about I didn't mean to rhyme.

503
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:06,879
Speaker 5: But but.

504
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:10,119
Speaker 11: He's just been a playmaker.

505
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 12: So you know, the more plays you make, the more

506
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 12: opportunities you're gonna get, and he's been taking advantage of that.

507
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:16,160
Speaker 4: I know you talked about their passing game, but Chris

508
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 4: Godwin specifically, I mean, I think he's leading the league

509
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 4: in catches, leading the NFC and receiving yards. You know

510
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 4: what's really stood out about him. I mean, he's he's

511
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 4: been a good player for a long time, but the

512
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 4: numbers really pop a little more this year than recently.

513
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 12: I mean, he's always been a great receiver. He's always

514
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 12: been tough. He's always been you know, fast and strong,

515
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 12: can can play all different spots, can play in the

516
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 12: spot and can playing the slot, can play on the outside.

517
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 11: I think, honestly, I think he's just healthy.

518
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:44,119
Speaker 12: I think he was banged up for the last you know,

519
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 12: year or so, and I think he's finally healthy, got

520
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 12: his legs back underneath them, and it's really showing. So

521
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 12: we got to make sure we have to have a

522
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:53,640
Speaker 12: good awareness of where he's at and what he's doing.

523
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 12: And then the main thing is tackling him. I've seen

524
00:21:56,080 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 12: him stiff armed people and break tackles at a high rate,

525
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 12: probably at the highest rate of a receiver i've seen

526
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,360
Speaker 12: so far, so that's gonna be a challenge for all

527
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:06,439
Speaker 12: of our guys to get them on the ground.
