<v Speaker 2>last week. You know, very pleased with our guys and

0:00:28.320 --> 0:00:30.720
<v Speaker 2>kind of and kind of how they're playing. Send a

0:00:30.760 --> 0:00:33.440
<v Speaker 2>lot of growth, played a lot of young guys last week,

0:00:33.479 --> 0:00:35.800
<v Speaker 2>and you know these guys are these guys are trying

0:00:35.800 --> 0:00:38.559
<v Speaker 2>to really lock into the details, pay attention to the details,

0:00:38.720 --> 0:00:42.760
<v Speaker 2>and really put it together. On Sundays again, I thought

0:00:42.760 --> 0:00:45.879
<v Speaker 2>they played hard, they played physical. It was really exciting

0:00:45.920 --> 0:00:48.720
<v Speaker 2>for what Ben Cleveland. Did you know that on that

0:00:48.760 --> 0:00:51.400
<v Speaker 2>field goal block? I mean what just what an exciting

0:00:51.440 --> 0:00:54.040
<v Speaker 2>moment for him, A guy that asked, a guy that

0:00:54.120 --> 0:00:56.080
<v Speaker 2>wanted to be on there and then you know, found

0:00:56.080 --> 0:00:58.880
<v Speaker 2>an opportunity to get him out there and see what

0:00:58.920 --> 0:01:01.360
<v Speaker 2>he can do. Moving forward to this week, you know,

0:01:01.400 --> 0:01:04.040
<v Speaker 2>we got a we got a great challenge Monday night, football,

0:01:04.840 --> 0:01:06.560
<v Speaker 2>just just for our guys, man, I just want to

0:01:06.600 --> 0:01:10.200
<v Speaker 2>see them go out play their hardest, continue to get

0:01:10.200 --> 0:01:12.119
<v Speaker 2>better and uh and just take it one play at

0:01:12.120 --> 0:01:13.760
<v Speaker 2>a time. Just kind of that's been our focus and

0:01:13.959 --> 0:01:18.080
<v Speaker 2>that's what we're doing out here, uh, Tuesday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday,

0:01:18.360 --> 0:01:19.800
<v Speaker 2>just trying to get better so we can go play

0:01:19.800 --> 0:01:21.720
<v Speaker 2>our best football questions.

0:01:22.520 --> 0:01:24.160
<v Speaker 3>You may have just referenced it, but a lot of

0:01:24.160 --> 0:01:25.840
<v Speaker 3>players are real happy to be Cleveland.

0:01:26.160 --> 0:01:29.560
<v Speaker 4>But what goes into that decision to have because it's

0:01:29.560 --> 0:01:31.200
<v Speaker 4>only been a week or two that he had done that,

0:01:31.480 --> 0:01:32.360
<v Speaker 4>So what goes into the.

0:01:32.280 --> 0:01:33.360
<v Speaker 5>Decision to have him out there?

0:01:33.560 --> 0:01:36.160
<v Speaker 2>You know, honestly, when you when you think about it,

0:01:36.760 --> 0:01:39.960
<v Speaker 2>when it when it first came up, those decisions are

0:01:40.000 --> 0:01:42.520
<v Speaker 2>made through like, okay, who you have up, who's available

0:01:43.000 --> 0:01:45.000
<v Speaker 2>on the defensive line, because those are usually the guys

0:01:45.000 --> 0:01:47.280
<v Speaker 2>you want to put out there first. And then I

0:01:47.560 --> 0:01:49.640
<v Speaker 2>think at one point Harps came over to me and goes, well,

0:01:49.680 --> 0:01:51.000
<v Speaker 2>if you if you are running shore, we do have

0:01:51.040 --> 0:01:53.280
<v Speaker 2>Ben Cleveland. We can think about that.

0:01:53.320 --> 0:01:56.240
<v Speaker 5>And I was like, Ben Cleveland, he's big, you know,

0:01:56.400 --> 0:01:58.200
<v Speaker 5>that's that's you need a big guy out there, right?

0:01:58.200 --> 0:02:00.400
<v Speaker 5>You think about all the defensive linement, like okay, I

0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:02.120
<v Speaker 5>got a big guy. This guy's a giant. He puts

0:02:02.160 --> 0:02:04.720
<v Speaker 5>his arm up. Oh yeah, this is good. Okay.

0:02:04.720 --> 0:02:06.320
<v Speaker 2>So then so then I gotta go back and I

0:02:06.320 --> 0:02:08.919
<v Speaker 2>gotta figure out, Okay, who can I sub him in for?

0:02:09.120 --> 0:02:11.120
<v Speaker 2>So the defensive line guys don't get mad at me,

0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:12.639
<v Speaker 2>but like, hey, you're gonna take me out to put

0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:13.240
<v Speaker 2>Ben in there.

0:02:13.360 --> 0:02:14.760
<v Speaker 5>So you got to think about those things.

0:02:14.760 --> 0:02:16.280
<v Speaker 2>And then when you go through and you're like, okay,

0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:19.200
<v Speaker 2>this is a good week for him because we had

0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:21.800
<v Speaker 2>we were missing the defensive lignement. So got him out there,

0:02:21.919 --> 0:02:24.040
<v Speaker 2>let him rush man, and he got he got his hand.

0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:24.400
<v Speaker 5>On the ball.

0:02:24.840 --> 0:02:27.320
<v Speaker 2>But again, it goes back to a conversation that I

0:02:27.320 --> 0:02:29.240
<v Speaker 2>had with Ben sitting on the bus and he was like, Coach,

0:02:29.520 --> 0:02:30.600
<v Speaker 2>I did this in high school.

0:02:31.360 --> 0:02:33.600
<v Speaker 5>I think I can help you. And here's me.

0:02:33.680 --> 0:02:36.280
<v Speaker 2>It's like okay, all right, we're gonna try to figure

0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:38.200
<v Speaker 2>this out. And we got him out there and he

0:02:38.280 --> 0:02:40.520
<v Speaker 2>kind of changed that game for us. So really excited

0:02:40.560 --> 0:02:42.920
<v Speaker 2>for him, man. And when a guy tells you he

0:02:43.040 --> 0:02:45.760
<v Speaker 2>wants to do something, then you believe in him because

0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:47.720
<v Speaker 2>he truly really wants to be out there. And give

0:02:47.760 --> 0:02:49.359
<v Speaker 2>you his all to do whatever he's got to do

0:02:49.400 --> 0:02:52.040
<v Speaker 2>to help the team.

0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:54.760
<v Speaker 5>I think he's earned himself a full time role. You know.

0:02:54.800 --> 0:02:56.639
<v Speaker 2>It's just it's an opportunity to kind of get him

0:02:56.639 --> 0:02:58.840
<v Speaker 2>out there, let him play. And you know, if we

0:02:58.919 --> 0:03:00.880
<v Speaker 2>are short here and there, I know I got a

0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:03.120
<v Speaker 2>guy even if I even if I do take him

0:03:03.120 --> 0:03:04.760
<v Speaker 2>off the field, I know I always have a guy

0:03:05.080 --> 0:03:07.080
<v Speaker 2>in the back on the back end to put out there.

0:03:07.080 --> 0:03:08.280
<v Speaker 5>And now he's gonna give you everything.

0:03:08.280 --> 0:03:12.200
<v Speaker 4>He's got that other than just I mean, we obviously

0:03:12.200 --> 0:03:13.720
<v Speaker 4>we see the stature, but like you.

0:03:13.680 --> 0:03:17.000
<v Speaker 2>Know, I mean that's really that's really where it starts, right,

0:03:17.440 --> 0:03:19.040
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you got it. You can't you can't put

0:03:19.120 --> 0:03:21.079
<v Speaker 2>like little little little guys out there, you know what

0:03:21.120 --> 0:03:23.239
<v Speaker 2>I'm saying, Guys that guys that don't have any reach.

0:03:23.280 --> 0:03:25.440
<v Speaker 2>When these guys kick these long field goals and that

0:03:25.639 --> 0:03:26.639
<v Speaker 2>and that ball is short.

0:03:26.800 --> 0:03:28.440
<v Speaker 5>So you need a big guy, you need a giant.

0:03:28.440 --> 0:03:30.000
<v Speaker 2>You need a guy that's got some reach, a guy

0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:31.840
<v Speaker 2>that can get his hands up you can get somewhat

0:03:31.840 --> 0:03:32.440
<v Speaker 2>off the ground.

0:03:32.880 --> 0:03:33.040
<v Speaker 5>Right.

0:03:33.160 --> 0:03:35.560
<v Speaker 2>Uh, that's really what that's really what makes those guys.

0:03:35.560 --> 0:03:37.920
<v Speaker 2>And then when you watch just those plays across the league.

0:03:38.280 --> 0:03:40.440
<v Speaker 2>It's all want to right. It's just a guy that

0:03:40.480 --> 0:03:42.880
<v Speaker 2>wants to go out there and realize that there there

0:03:42.880 --> 0:03:45.560
<v Speaker 2>are points to be had, uh from the other team,

0:03:45.600 --> 0:03:46.920
<v Speaker 2>and and how can we affect that?

0:03:47.120 --> 0:03:49.240
<v Speaker 5>Right, So go out there and give your.

0:03:49.160 --> 0:03:51.640
<v Speaker 2>All executed and sometimes you don't get it, but if

0:03:51.640 --> 0:03:57.600
<v Speaker 2>you just keep applying pressure, those things happen that before. Actually,

0:03:58.360 --> 0:04:01.320
<v Speaker 2>I have not used offensive line since I've been here

0:04:01.320 --> 0:04:04.280
<v Speaker 2>in that role just because our defensive guys have been

0:04:04.360 --> 0:04:07.480
<v Speaker 2>so have been so good. But I but pat Rick

0:04:07.480 --> 0:04:09.280
<v Speaker 2>Card actually played out there for us when he was

0:04:09.280 --> 0:04:11.800
<v Speaker 2>playing fullback and we line him up and he actually

0:04:11.840 --> 0:04:13.480
<v Speaker 2>blocked a field goal against the Jets.

0:04:14.160 --> 0:04:17.960
<v Speaker 5>So I mean, any look, we don't care who you are.

0:04:18.040 --> 0:04:19.760
<v Speaker 2>It's just a matter of when we put you out there,

0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:21.320
<v Speaker 2>are you going to give us everything you got on

0:04:21.360 --> 0:04:23.560
<v Speaker 2>the play? And those guys were out there and it's

0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:24.200
<v Speaker 2>paid off for him.

0:04:24.720 --> 0:04:26.600
<v Speaker 6>I know, obviously you don't want to mess with a

0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:29.760
<v Speaker 6>good thing. But you know, is the difference between from

0:04:29.839 --> 0:04:32.080
<v Speaker 6>someone like Ben and there and someone like Dana filat

0:04:32.120 --> 0:04:34.360
<v Speaker 6>Layers even bigger? Just a matter of experience?

0:04:35.040 --> 0:04:37.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean it's not it's not really so much

0:04:37.640 --> 0:04:38.440
<v Speaker 2>about experience.

0:04:38.440 --> 0:04:39.200
<v Speaker 5>I mean you just don't.

0:04:39.200 --> 0:04:41.600
<v Speaker 2>You wouldn't put Daniel out there because he's playing a

0:04:41.600 --> 0:04:43.720
<v Speaker 2>lot on offense, right, So you just think you think

0:04:43.760 --> 0:04:46.599
<v Speaker 2>about the guys that are in those reserve roles on

0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:48.640
<v Speaker 2>on who can help you and how can they help you.

0:04:49.440 --> 0:04:51.159
<v Speaker 2>It's not to say, you know, if it came down

0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:53.320
<v Speaker 2>to it, we couldn't say, okay, hey, this is a

0:04:53.320 --> 0:04:53.960
<v Speaker 2>long field goal.

0:04:53.960 --> 0:04:55.400
<v Speaker 5>Ay Dan, you you want to get this one.

0:04:55.760 --> 0:04:58.360
<v Speaker 2>We could potentially do that if we felt like doing that,

0:04:58.400 --> 0:05:00.640
<v Speaker 2>but that's not something I don't think that we would

0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:01.320
<v Speaker 2>work towards.

0:05:02.680 --> 0:05:05.599
<v Speaker 3>Chris. We've seen a dating back to the summer and

0:05:05.640 --> 0:05:09.719
<v Speaker 3>ot as and obviously he had some personal stuff going

0:05:09.720 --> 0:05:11.599
<v Speaker 3>on at different points, and he's been banged up. He's

0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:14.120
<v Speaker 3>banged up again this week. How much has been tough

0:05:14.160 --> 0:05:16.919
<v Speaker 3>to get into rhythm uh in the return game with

0:05:17.000 --> 0:05:19.760
<v Speaker 3>Hardy kind of being on and off the practice field.

0:05:20.160 --> 0:05:23.200
<v Speaker 2>You know, it's been it's been complicated, but you know

0:05:23.320 --> 0:05:26.479
<v Speaker 2>for us, for us, it's just like, you know, Hardy's

0:05:26.520 --> 0:05:29.160
<v Speaker 2>our guy, and and and and we believe in him,

0:05:29.160 --> 0:05:31.480
<v Speaker 2>and when he's healthy and he's in the right place,

0:05:33.440 --> 0:05:35.200
<v Speaker 2>we know he can be a difference maker for us.

0:05:35.200 --> 0:05:36.640
<v Speaker 2>And it's kind of it's kind of like you said,

0:05:36.800 --> 0:05:38.600
<v Speaker 2>he's been he's been going through a lot, he's been

0:05:38.640 --> 0:05:40.760
<v Speaker 2>dealing with a lot. But it's not it's not so

0:05:40.880 --> 0:05:44.120
<v Speaker 2>much of just just that one guy making the difference

0:05:44.120 --> 0:05:47.120
<v Speaker 2>for us, because we believe like it takes eleven guys

0:05:47.120 --> 0:05:49.360
<v Speaker 2>really to get the return going. And uh and you

0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:51.320
<v Speaker 2>guys that you guys have seen that over the years

0:05:51.480 --> 0:05:53.839
<v Speaker 2>from it doesn't really matter who we put back there

0:05:54.240 --> 0:05:56.280
<v Speaker 2>if the ten other guys up front take care of

0:05:56.320 --> 0:05:58.200
<v Speaker 2>their business and they and they block the play the

0:05:58.240 --> 0:06:01.320
<v Speaker 2>way the plot should, the play should be eight any returner,

0:06:01.360 --> 0:06:03.440
<v Speaker 2>I feel like we put back there, it's gonna get

0:06:03.520 --> 0:06:05.159
<v Speaker 2>yards for us. It's gonna it's gonna have a great

0:06:05.200 --> 0:06:07.760
<v Speaker 2>opportunity to score, to hit big returns.

0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:10.039
<v Speaker 5>So but but as far as as far as that,

0:06:10.320 --> 0:06:11.000
<v Speaker 5>I mean, we just.

0:06:11.040 --> 0:06:14.120
<v Speaker 2>Work on Okay, who's who's available and who's not available,

0:06:14.120 --> 0:06:16.000
<v Speaker 2>and we just run our plays and we work from there.

0:06:19.600 --> 0:06:21.719
<v Speaker 1>Next up is offensive coordinator time.

0:06:21.800 --> 0:06:27.800
<v Speaker 3>Monkey. The big kind of word for you is is

0:06:27.920 --> 0:06:30.800
<v Speaker 3>drag and reducing the amount of drag. I mean, how

0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:31.799
<v Speaker 3>good you think.

0:06:31.680 --> 0:06:34.720
<v Speaker 6>This offense is in terms of getting rid of those

0:06:34.880 --> 0:06:36.200
<v Speaker 6>things your way?

0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:39.280
<v Speaker 7>We've been better, you know, in a lot of ways,

0:06:39.400 --> 0:06:42.599
<v Speaker 7>but it is week to week. You know, can't carry

0:06:42.600 --> 0:06:46.000
<v Speaker 7>over points and yards, just can't. I mean it's week

0:06:46.040 --> 0:06:48.160
<v Speaker 7>to weekly. You try to tell that to your guys.

0:06:48.240 --> 0:06:51.800
<v Speaker 7>I think they've handled it really well, you know. I

0:06:51.839 --> 0:06:54.960
<v Speaker 7>get there's a week between games, so there's a lot

0:06:55.000 --> 0:06:58.400
<v Speaker 7>to talk about, you know, about what it's looked like

0:06:58.560 --> 0:07:00.520
<v Speaker 7>or what we've been But we got to do it

0:07:00.560 --> 0:07:03.120
<v Speaker 7>this week obviously, you know, against a really good football team,

0:07:03.160 --> 0:07:05.680
<v Speaker 7>really good defense. So our guys have had a good

0:07:05.760 --> 0:07:08.320
<v Speaker 7>couple of days and you know they've been focused.

0:07:08.360 --> 0:07:09.320
<v Speaker 8>You know, we really have.

0:07:09.480 --> 0:07:12.080
<v Speaker 7>So you know, we've got to continue to put it

0:07:12.120 --> 0:07:14.960
<v Speaker 7>all together and all the areas that matter, which we

0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:15.360
<v Speaker 7>have been.

0:07:15.760 --> 0:07:19.880
<v Speaker 3>What's impressed to you about Lamar finding you know, a

0:07:20.040 --> 0:07:22.200
<v Speaker 3>workable answer, right answer, reporting staff.

0:07:22.200 --> 0:07:27.600
<v Speaker 8>But it's been doing great. You know, it's second year

0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:28.240
<v Speaker 8>in the system.

0:07:28.640 --> 0:07:31.600
<v Speaker 7>We've streamlined some things, we're doing it better as a staff,

0:07:32.560 --> 0:07:35.160
<v Speaker 7>we're doing it better in practice. I think we're detailing

0:07:35.160 --> 0:07:37.520
<v Speaker 7>it out better. I think the guys are more and

0:07:37.520 --> 0:07:42.040
<v Speaker 7>more comfortable. You know, Bait's been healthy, you know, really

0:07:42.040 --> 0:07:45.600
<v Speaker 7>throughout the off season and now Zay Flowers second year

0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:50.160
<v Speaker 7>in it, Mark and big Z being healthy, adding you know, Derek,

0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:52.680
<v Speaker 7>So we've got a lot of pieces, you know, and

0:07:52.720 --> 0:07:54.920
<v Speaker 7>it's just just our second year together. But again we

0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:55.840
<v Speaker 7>got to do it this week.

0:07:57.560 --> 0:08:00.920
<v Speaker 6>To that point, what Jamar we talked about that that

0:08:01.000 --> 0:08:04.160
<v Speaker 6>level of kind of being much more comfortable the second year.

0:08:04.480 --> 0:08:08.360
<v Speaker 6>I'm curious as as a coach, like, how did how

0:08:08.360 --> 0:08:10.720
<v Speaker 6>did you how would you describe your comfort level in

0:08:10.840 --> 0:08:15.360
<v Speaker 6>terms of where the execution is where you ultimately kind

0:08:15.360 --> 0:08:16.080
<v Speaker 6>of want to get to.

0:08:17.520 --> 0:08:21.840
<v Speaker 7>We're much further ahead. I mean, you know, you have

0:08:21.920 --> 0:08:25.880
<v Speaker 7>an off season to look back at what you did,

0:08:26.040 --> 0:08:29.040
<v Speaker 7>what you thought was the answers or the way you

0:08:29.080 --> 0:08:33.040
<v Speaker 7>want to go about it, and uh, you know, we're

0:08:33.080 --> 0:08:35.440
<v Speaker 7>just we're doing things better. Our guys are playing at

0:08:35.440 --> 0:08:40.079
<v Speaker 7>a high level. I think we're just we're all doing

0:08:40.120 --> 0:08:42.800
<v Speaker 7>it better. It's not just the players, you know, obviously

0:08:43.600 --> 0:08:50.280
<v Speaker 7>us having a system that they can wrap their arms around,

0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:55.120
<v Speaker 7>build confidence in that's detailed out, because the players make

0:08:55.160 --> 0:08:58.520
<v Speaker 7>it come to life. But not if they don't understand,

0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:00.280
<v Speaker 7>you know, what we're trying to accomplish or how we

0:09:00.320 --> 0:09:01.560
<v Speaker 7>do it, or how we do it every day in

0:09:01.559 --> 0:09:04.000
<v Speaker 7>the field, it doesn't come to life on the field.

0:09:04.040 --> 0:09:06.440
<v Speaker 7>And so that's up to us to streamline things and

0:09:06.480 --> 0:09:08.600
<v Speaker 7>to continue to do it better each week.

0:09:09.320 --> 0:09:10.200
<v Speaker 8>And then the challenges.

0:09:10.280 --> 0:09:12.600
<v Speaker 7>You're playing someone really good who sees what you do

0:09:12.679 --> 0:09:15.439
<v Speaker 7>well and they're going to counter that, and then how

0:09:15.440 --> 0:09:17.480
<v Speaker 7>do you continue to do it better and evolve.

0:09:18.679 --> 0:09:21.360
<v Speaker 4>Good to you about this offensive line, because it seemed

0:09:21.360 --> 0:09:23.559
<v Speaker 4>like the early part is time trying to feel his way,

0:09:23.559 --> 0:09:25.680
<v Speaker 4>but it's progressively gotten better each week.

0:09:26.520 --> 0:09:29.520
<v Speaker 8>Well, Roger's only going to get better. You know.

0:09:29.559 --> 0:09:31.480
<v Speaker 7>We ended up moving pat to guards, so we've had

0:09:31.520 --> 0:09:35.360
<v Speaker 7>a little continuity there. We've run the ball better, we've

0:09:35.400 --> 0:09:38.760
<v Speaker 7>stayed ahead of the chains better. That's a formula for

0:09:38.880 --> 0:09:41.400
<v Speaker 7>us to continue to get better. First two games we

0:09:41.440 --> 0:09:44.280
<v Speaker 7>had a lot of two minutes get back on track

0:09:44.360 --> 0:09:46.600
<v Speaker 7>third downs that are going to expose anybody. It's not

0:09:46.679 --> 0:09:48.920
<v Speaker 7>just our old line, everybody. And I think they're going

0:09:48.960 --> 0:09:51.080
<v Speaker 7>to continue to grow because even Daniel right guard's a

0:09:51.080 --> 0:09:53.800
<v Speaker 7>young player in terms of play has it played a

0:09:53.840 --> 0:09:55.920
<v Speaker 7>ton and we played him a lot of tackle. I mean,

0:09:55.960 --> 0:09:58.760
<v Speaker 7>he's still learning the guard position. So I think they're

0:09:58.760 --> 0:10:01.439
<v Speaker 7>just going to continue to grow. Ronnie's playing great football

0:10:01.480 --> 0:10:03.880
<v Speaker 7>for us. Having Ronnie back at a high level. Obviously,

0:10:03.960 --> 0:10:06.200
<v Speaker 7>Tyler always plays at a high level. So I think

0:10:06.200 --> 0:10:07.480
<v Speaker 7>we're I think we're in a good spot.

0:10:08.200 --> 0:10:12.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you guys ranked number one and a third down percentage.

0:10:12.800 --> 0:10:15.160
<v Speaker 3>There's a lot of reasons for that. But how important

0:10:15.160 --> 0:10:17.760
<v Speaker 3>has Justice Hill been in blitz pick up and just

0:10:17.760 --> 0:10:20.800
<v Speaker 3>how much have you grown to both appreciate and trust

0:10:21.200 --> 0:10:22.800
<v Speaker 3>how he kind of sticks his nose in there.

0:10:22.960 --> 0:10:24.280
<v Speaker 8>Yea, Justice does a great job.

0:10:24.440 --> 0:10:26.839
<v Speaker 7>You know, he's a weapon out of the backfield, and

0:10:26.880 --> 0:10:29.800
<v Speaker 7>he does a great job on passport, really understands, you know,

0:10:29.840 --> 0:10:32.000
<v Speaker 7>what we're trying to do. And I'm afraid to stick

0:10:32.040 --> 0:10:35.560
<v Speaker 7>his nose in there, and you know so. And with

0:10:35.600 --> 0:10:37.640
<v Speaker 7>our depth at running back, you know it's being banged up.

0:10:37.960 --> 0:10:41.600
<v Speaker 7>It's been everything for us on third downs and situational football.

0:10:43.200 --> 0:10:45.360
<v Speaker 4>With you're talking about the offensive the line of Daniel,

0:10:45.559 --> 0:10:48.400
<v Speaker 4>I mean, do you feel like he has made notable

0:10:48.400 --> 0:10:50.640
<v Speaker 4>progress even from week one and two to now?

0:10:51.040 --> 0:10:53.520
<v Speaker 8>Sure? Sure. I think there's.

0:10:55.960 --> 0:11:00.400
<v Speaker 7>A difference between practice, preseason games, playing tackle, playing guard,

0:11:01.760 --> 0:11:05.920
<v Speaker 7>communication with who's next to you, you know, when it's

0:11:05.960 --> 0:11:08.960
<v Speaker 7>Daniel and it's Pat, or it's Daniel and Roger or

0:11:09.440 --> 0:11:12.360
<v Speaker 7>and then just the calls and then just seeing it

0:11:12.559 --> 0:11:15.240
<v Speaker 7>all the things that those guys have to see movement

0:11:15.280 --> 0:11:19.280
<v Speaker 7>because it's the game's no longer standing still. You know,

0:11:19.320 --> 0:11:22.880
<v Speaker 7>the D line moves and the linebackers plug and they pressure,

0:11:22.920 --> 0:11:26.199
<v Speaker 7>and then you get calls late. Then every day you're

0:11:26.240 --> 0:11:29.160
<v Speaker 7>going to continue to develop. If you're diligent in your approach,

0:11:29.200 --> 0:11:30.360
<v Speaker 7>which Daniel has been.

0:11:31.080 --> 0:11:34.160
<v Speaker 3>With fle first two weeks, will struggle.

0:11:34.520 --> 0:11:37.440
<v Speaker 9>He's been a little far superior since then. Just in

0:11:37.559 --> 0:11:40.520
<v Speaker 9>those two first games, did you see the makings of

0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:43.679
<v Speaker 9>what you were anticipating and developing into and what he's

0:11:43.720 --> 0:11:44.880
<v Speaker 9>kind of reformed into now.

0:11:45.440 --> 0:11:47.640
<v Speaker 8>I think he's still developing as a player, I do.

0:11:47.679 --> 0:11:51.600
<v Speaker 7>I think he's still a young player at guard, you know,

0:11:52.480 --> 0:11:56.280
<v Speaker 7>learning how to like any player, not just a young player,

0:11:56.360 --> 0:12:00.360
<v Speaker 7>but the stamina to do it for sixty plays, you know,

0:12:00.480 --> 0:12:05.240
<v Speaker 7>and not flash. And there is a point where you

0:12:05.280 --> 0:12:09.360
<v Speaker 7>get to all right, I'm comfortable in knowing what to do.

0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:12.600
<v Speaker 8>What's now? Okay the looks that we see.

0:12:12.720 --> 0:12:14.640
<v Speaker 7>It's one thing to have your assignment, but then when

0:12:14.760 --> 0:12:17.920
<v Speaker 7>the bullets start flying against the best in the world,

0:12:18.000 --> 0:12:20.880
<v Speaker 7>multi millionaires that are paid to not let you block them,

0:12:20.920 --> 0:12:23.360
<v Speaker 7>not let them stop you from getting the quarterback, that's

0:12:23.679 --> 0:12:26.040
<v Speaker 7>a lot of times easier said than done. So I

0:12:26.080 --> 0:12:27.920
<v Speaker 7>think he's really come a long way. He's only going

0:12:27.960 --> 0:12:30.960
<v Speaker 7>to continue to grow as a player. He's only still

0:12:31.040 --> 0:12:33.000
<v Speaker 7>just scratching the surface of what he can be.

0:12:34.160 --> 0:12:35.239
<v Speaker 8>Much has been made.

0:12:34.960 --> 0:12:38.480
<v Speaker 4>Of opponents for putting that extra player up near the

0:12:38.520 --> 0:12:40.280
<v Speaker 4>line of scrimmage, whether that's to account.

0:12:39.960 --> 0:12:41.120
<v Speaker 3>For al Lamar or Derek.

0:12:41.160 --> 0:12:43.319
<v Speaker 4>I mean, do you do you think you'll keep seeing

0:12:43.360 --> 0:12:45.319
<v Speaker 4>that even though you guys have played very well against

0:12:45.360 --> 0:12:46.160
<v Speaker 4>it the last.

0:12:45.960 --> 0:12:49.440
<v Speaker 7>Few weeks ago, I don't know, you know, each team's

0:12:49.480 --> 0:12:54.080
<v Speaker 7>gonna pose different issues for us.

0:12:56.200 --> 0:12:58.560
<v Speaker 8>Tampa is built differently than Washington is.

0:12:59.320 --> 0:13:05.720
<v Speaker 7>Washington was different than Cincinnati was, you know, So we'll see,

0:13:05.840 --> 0:13:08.760
<v Speaker 7>you know, But most of the teams that you play,

0:13:10.120 --> 0:13:13.839
<v Speaker 7>Joe Witt is a tremendous defensive coordinator, Todd Bowles is

0:13:13.880 --> 0:13:18.600
<v Speaker 7>an elite defensive coordinator. Lou An Romo, they're really good coordinators.

0:13:18.640 --> 0:13:21.560
<v Speaker 7>Like they're gonna do what they do. I mean, they

0:13:21.600 --> 0:13:24.239
<v Speaker 7>haven't gotten to where they've got without really.

0:13:24.040 --> 0:13:26.600
<v Speaker 8>Still sticking to their core principles.

0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:29.240
<v Speaker 7>So with that being said, there's gonna be some nuances

0:13:29.240 --> 0:13:31.120
<v Speaker 7>that we have to be able to adjust because we've

0:13:31.160 --> 0:13:33.520
<v Speaker 7>changed a little bit, you know. So as we change

0:13:34.000 --> 0:13:35.680
<v Speaker 7>and we put things on film. We have to be

0:13:35.720 --> 0:13:37.520
<v Speaker 7>ready to adjust. I mean, that's just the way it is.

0:13:39.160 --> 0:13:41.280
<v Speaker 10>I have to ask this finally, of why do you

0:13:41.320 --> 0:13:43.760
<v Speaker 10>carry the call in front of your plants there?

0:13:43.920 --> 0:13:44.640
<v Speaker 11>I'll always talk.

0:13:45.880 --> 0:13:46.920
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, I don't.

0:13:47.000 --> 0:13:48.760
<v Speaker 7>I don't get the big deal, Like, I mean, where

0:13:48.760 --> 0:13:49.720
<v Speaker 7>else am I gonna put it?

0:13:51.559 --> 0:13:55.360
<v Speaker 8>What else? I laminate it? And I don't know what

0:13:55.400 --> 0:13:56.120
<v Speaker 8>else you want me to do it?

0:13:56.280 --> 0:13:56.800
<v Speaker 5>Do you?

0:13:56.880 --> 0:13:59.200
<v Speaker 7>I mean, I've always put it there. I don't know

0:13:59.240 --> 0:14:01.199
<v Speaker 7>what the big deal. Some times maybe it's been covered

0:14:01.280 --> 0:14:02.800
<v Speaker 7>up or being like this.

0:14:02.880 --> 0:14:03.200
<v Speaker 5>I don't.

0:14:03.880 --> 0:14:05.679
<v Speaker 8>I really don't get it.

0:14:05.840 --> 0:14:07.680
<v Speaker 5>Huh, you don't.

0:14:08.080 --> 0:14:09.959
<v Speaker 8>That's not true. That's absolutely not true.

0:14:10.440 --> 0:14:13.320
<v Speaker 7>It's they enjoy it because we're moving to football and

0:14:13.400 --> 0:14:14.200
<v Speaker 7>we're successful.

0:14:15.040 --> 0:14:17.760
<v Speaker 8>It wouldn't mean a damn thing if we were. I

0:14:17.760 --> 0:14:19.560
<v Speaker 8>don't get it, Like it makes sense.

0:14:19.600 --> 0:14:22.560
<v Speaker 7>And if you're grabbing onto something because we've been playing good,

0:14:22.600 --> 0:14:26.440
<v Speaker 7>that's fine, that's awesome, you know, hopefully hopefully that's the reason.

0:14:26.640 --> 0:14:28.720
<v Speaker 8>I mean, if that was as simple as that, I'll

0:14:28.760 --> 0:14:31.560
<v Speaker 8>make it even bigger. I mean, we can go bigger

0:14:31.560 --> 0:14:35.520
<v Speaker 8>if that helps.

0:14:35.520 --> 0:14:38.040
<v Speaker 1>Next is defensive coordinator Zach Worth.

0:14:41.400 --> 0:14:43.840
<v Speaker 12>Yeah, doing alrighty man, that's good.

0:14:43.880 --> 0:14:46.640
<v Speaker 11>What do you see what you know, going against pick

0:14:46.720 --> 0:14:48.600
<v Speaker 11>me fields and all that.

0:14:49.360 --> 0:14:50.840
<v Speaker 5>Have you seen any difference in him.

0:14:50.960 --> 0:14:51.600
<v Speaker 8>Into this season.

0:14:53.160 --> 0:14:55.560
<v Speaker 12>I mean from an ability standpoint, no, I haven't seen

0:14:55.640 --> 0:14:56.160
<v Speaker 12>much difference.

0:14:56.160 --> 0:14:56.320
<v Speaker 5>Man.

0:14:56.320 --> 0:14:58.520
<v Speaker 12>We always had a lot of respect for Baker Mayfield.

0:14:59.400 --> 0:15:02.800
<v Speaker 12>He's a good, a very good quarterback. He's real competitive.

0:15:02.800 --> 0:15:04.240
<v Speaker 12>I think that's the thing that sticks out about him.

0:15:04.280 --> 0:15:07.200
<v Speaker 12>He has that never die mindset and play style where

0:15:07.240 --> 0:15:10.000
<v Speaker 12>he's gonna try to stay alive every second of the

0:15:10.000 --> 0:15:11.960
<v Speaker 12>play and try to make something happen for him for

0:15:12.040 --> 0:15:14.200
<v Speaker 12>his offense, and he's done it. I think the thing

0:15:14.240 --> 0:15:17.680
<v Speaker 12>that's been really impressive with him in Tampa this year

0:15:17.800 --> 0:15:19.080
<v Speaker 12>is just kind.

0:15:18.920 --> 0:15:20.600
<v Speaker 11>Of the freedom I see.

0:15:20.680 --> 0:15:22.280
<v Speaker 12>I feel like I see at the line of scrimmage

0:15:22.280 --> 0:15:24.320
<v Speaker 12>that he has the check in and out of plays

0:15:24.320 --> 0:15:25.720
<v Speaker 12>to get him in the in the right look.

0:15:25.840 --> 0:15:27.920
<v Speaker 11>So he's done a great job with that.

0:15:27.960 --> 0:15:30.200
<v Speaker 12>I think that's gonna be a big challenge and a

0:15:30.200 --> 0:15:32.880
<v Speaker 12>big chess match for us to kind of not give

0:15:32.920 --> 0:15:34.800
<v Speaker 12>him the answers of what we're in and not let

0:15:34.840 --> 0:15:36.920
<v Speaker 12>him try to check in a great play uh that

0:15:36.920 --> 0:15:38.520
<v Speaker 12>they want to be in. So I think that's the

0:15:38.520 --> 0:15:41.640
<v Speaker 12>biggest difference I see for this year is just you

0:15:41.680 --> 0:15:43.640
<v Speaker 12>know them giving him more of the keys of the offense.

0:15:43.720 --> 0:15:45.160
<v Speaker 11>Maybe in in previous.

0:15:44.920 --> 0:15:50.000
<v Speaker 4>Years he's short a lot relying on yak What you know,

0:15:50.480 --> 0:15:51.800
<v Speaker 4>what's sort of the checklist.

0:15:51.440 --> 0:15:53.320
<v Speaker 12>For you guys in terms of countering that man, You

0:15:53.360 --> 0:15:55.800
<v Speaker 12>gotta you gotta tackle, you gotta tackling, you gotta tackle

0:15:55.840 --> 0:15:56.480
<v Speaker 12>in space man.

0:15:56.560 --> 0:15:59.240
<v Speaker 11>And they one of the top rack teams in the league. Uh,

0:15:59.280 --> 0:15:59.680
<v Speaker 11>they they'll do.

0:15:59.800 --> 0:16:01.600
<v Speaker 12>The dudes get a good job of getting north and

0:16:01.640 --> 0:16:03.920
<v Speaker 12>south when they catch the ball. Got all those guys

0:16:03.920 --> 0:16:06.400
<v Speaker 12>got mean stiff farms. So we got to get more

0:16:06.440 --> 0:16:07.720
<v Speaker 12>a lot of hats to the ball. We got to

0:16:07.720 --> 0:16:09.760
<v Speaker 12>get them hats to the ball, corral them and then

0:16:09.800 --> 0:16:12.160
<v Speaker 12>eliminate the yards have to catch because that's where they

0:16:12.200 --> 0:16:13.160
<v Speaker 12>make a lot of their plays at.

0:16:13.520 --> 0:16:14.880
<v Speaker 8>So I got a lot of those lines.

0:16:15.560 --> 0:16:18.080
<v Speaker 6>Thinker's been really good too, in the middle of the field,

0:16:18.280 --> 0:16:21.680
<v Speaker 6>past an area where times you guys have struggled. What

0:16:21.760 --> 0:16:25.160
<v Speaker 6>do you think is held you back there? And if

0:16:25.160 --> 0:16:27.480
<v Speaker 6>there's if there's one thing or what do you sort

0:16:27.520 --> 0:16:28.760
<v Speaker 6>of look to improve against.

0:16:28.920 --> 0:16:31.040
<v Speaker 12>Yeah, I think it was just us improving just our

0:16:31.640 --> 0:16:35.480
<v Speaker 12>fundamentals and just simplifying everything and just everybody doing their job.

0:16:35.520 --> 0:16:38.720
<v Speaker 12>I don't think it's one particular person or one particular

0:16:38.800 --> 0:16:42.119
<v Speaker 12>call or one particular coverage. It's kind of like everybody's

0:16:42.160 --> 0:16:44.880
<v Speaker 12>doing their job and then somebody doesn't and then the

0:16:44.920 --> 0:16:45.920
<v Speaker 12>offense is finding it.

0:16:46.000 --> 0:16:49.200
<v Speaker 11>So we've been working hard at that. We know that's

0:16:49.240 --> 0:16:49.760
<v Speaker 11>an issue.

0:16:49.760 --> 0:16:51.880
<v Speaker 12>So we're trying to make sure we take care of

0:16:51.880 --> 0:16:53.880
<v Speaker 12>the middle of the field because like, like, like I've

0:16:53.920 --> 0:16:55.720
<v Speaker 12>got up here and talked about you want to make

0:16:56.160 --> 0:16:59.440
<v Speaker 12>quarterbacks throw outside outside the numbers as much as possible.

0:17:01.240 --> 0:17:04.120
<v Speaker 1>Stevens and Wiggins get some extra repchs after practice. What's

0:17:04.240 --> 0:17:05.720
<v Speaker 1>been the focus there. What's the kind of saying about

0:17:05.720 --> 0:17:07.560
<v Speaker 1>those two guys beginning to actually work after practice?

0:17:07.560 --> 0:17:08.080
<v Speaker 11>Man, It's great.

0:17:08.080 --> 0:17:10.760
<v Speaker 12>We always encourage people, man, to work on their craft,

0:17:10.840 --> 0:17:12.399
<v Speaker 12>not just with us, but on their own, and I

0:17:12.400 --> 0:17:15.639
<v Speaker 12>think that just shows the competitiveness and the willingness to

0:17:15.720 --> 0:17:18.000
<v Speaker 12>continue to get better. And those guys have been playing

0:17:18.000 --> 0:17:20.240
<v Speaker 12>good football for us, but they know they can go

0:17:20.280 --> 0:17:22.320
<v Speaker 12>to another level. We know they can go to another level,

0:17:22.520 --> 0:17:24.840
<v Speaker 12>and the focus is just on technique and fundamentals.

0:17:24.840 --> 0:17:25.000
<v Speaker 8>Man.

0:17:25.080 --> 0:17:27.719
<v Speaker 12>Like the big message for us and our guys this week, man,

0:17:27.720 --> 0:17:30.480
<v Speaker 12>it's about us, man, And you know, if we do

0:17:30.520 --> 0:17:34.520
<v Speaker 12>what we're supposed to do fundamental wise, technique wise, communication wise,

0:17:34.800 --> 0:17:36.960
<v Speaker 12>then you know, we'll go out there and feel like

0:17:37.000 --> 0:17:38.120
<v Speaker 12>we'll play a really good game.

0:17:38.880 --> 0:17:41.640
<v Speaker 9>A player that maybe hasn't played up to their standard

0:17:42.040 --> 0:17:45.400
<v Speaker 9>or expectation, as Marcus Williams have, you had a conversation

0:17:45.520 --> 0:17:49.320
<v Speaker 9>with him and just what's kind of a way that

0:17:49.400 --> 0:17:52.479
<v Speaker 9>you can get him in better spots to you know,

0:17:52.560 --> 0:17:53.960
<v Speaker 9>make bigger plays down the stretch.

0:17:54.000 --> 0:17:56.040
<v Speaker 11>This yeah, man, I mean Marcus Williams.

0:17:56.119 --> 0:17:58.520
<v Speaker 12>First thing, we still got the utmost you know, faith

0:17:58.520 --> 0:17:59.199
<v Speaker 12>and belief in them.

0:17:59.200 --> 0:18:01.639
<v Speaker 11>A lot of stuff. He's a safety, so on.

0:18:01.560 --> 0:18:03.840
<v Speaker 12>Film and on TV and during the games, he's a

0:18:03.920 --> 0:18:06.679
<v Speaker 12>last line of defense, so it always looks like he

0:18:06.760 --> 0:18:08.240
<v Speaker 12>might be at fault, but that's far.

0:18:08.080 --> 0:18:08.639
<v Speaker 11>From the truth.

0:18:08.680 --> 0:18:08.880
<v Speaker 12>Man.

0:18:09.320 --> 0:18:10.600
<v Speaker 11>He's doing some good things.

0:18:10.359 --> 0:18:12.560
<v Speaker 12>Obviously, just like a lot of a lot of our guys.

0:18:12.560 --> 0:18:14.159
<v Speaker 12>He can he can play better and he knows that

0:18:14.200 --> 0:18:16.679
<v Speaker 12>and he's working at that. And my biggest thing in

0:18:16.760 --> 0:18:18.960
<v Speaker 12>him is like, man, you you back there for a reason,

0:18:19.000 --> 0:18:21.800
<v Speaker 12>We brought you here for a reason. You've made many

0:18:21.880 --> 0:18:24.919
<v Speaker 12>impact plays in this league, not just at your previous

0:18:24.920 --> 0:18:27.360
<v Speaker 12>spot but for us, and he's made plays this year.

0:18:27.400 --> 0:18:29.920
<v Speaker 12>So just had that confidence you want the top free

0:18:29.960 --> 0:18:30.800
<v Speaker 12>safeties in the league.

0:18:30.840 --> 0:18:33.920
<v Speaker 11>Go go beat that. And that's what our conversation has been.

0:18:33.960 --> 0:18:36.520
<v Speaker 12>And I think he's looked honestly up to this point.

0:18:37.119 --> 0:18:38.880
<v Speaker 12>I think this has been his best week of practice

0:18:39.119 --> 0:18:40.639
<v Speaker 12>during the season so far. I mean, he's got his

0:18:40.680 --> 0:18:43.080
<v Speaker 12>hands on the football. He's made some plays that we

0:18:43.160 --> 0:18:45.760
<v Speaker 12>are customed to seeing. So I'm excited. I'm excited. I

0:18:45.960 --> 0:18:49.000
<v Speaker 12>think that we're gonna see Marcus Williams really turn it

0:18:49.040 --> 0:18:50.240
<v Speaker 12>up in these next couple of games.

0:18:50.760 --> 0:18:53.080
<v Speaker 10>When you look at this Ben's kind of analytics, it

0:18:53.119 --> 0:18:55.280
<v Speaker 10>should you guys are forcing a ton of really tight

0:18:55.600 --> 0:18:58.520
<v Speaker 10>coverage throughs. You know, they're they're not a lot of

0:18:58.560 --> 0:19:02.560
<v Speaker 10>open wide receivers open. You're well, I know you're always

0:19:02.560 --> 0:19:05.280
<v Speaker 10>looking at what can you improve on, but you also

0:19:05.359 --> 0:19:07.960
<v Speaker 10>look at that stuff and say, hey, I think we're

0:19:07.960 --> 0:19:09.960
<v Speaker 10>covering better than this tests show.

0:19:10.119 --> 0:19:10.840
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, definitely.

0:19:10.880 --> 0:19:13.359
<v Speaker 12>I mean we looked at our explosive passes. Obviously some

0:19:13.359 --> 0:19:15.800
<v Speaker 12>stuff that we can clean up for sure, you know,

0:19:15.920 --> 0:19:19.560
<v Speaker 12>scheme wise, and guys, you know communication technique wise, but

0:19:20.000 --> 0:19:21.399
<v Speaker 12>a lot of the plays, I mean you got to

0:19:21.400 --> 0:19:23.560
<v Speaker 12>give your hats off to the to the quarterback and

0:19:23.560 --> 0:19:26.560
<v Speaker 12>the receiver. I mean they're making great throws and great

0:19:26.640 --> 0:19:28.919
<v Speaker 12>catches on the sideline going to the ground, and we

0:19:29.000 --> 0:19:32.000
<v Speaker 12>just continue to teach our guys man like, keep on

0:19:32.080 --> 0:19:34.360
<v Speaker 12>competing at the catch point, keep on competing, make them,

0:19:34.560 --> 0:19:36.359
<v Speaker 12>make them have to make the tough throws and catches

0:19:36.400 --> 0:19:41.040
<v Speaker 12>in We honestly believe that we won't lose games.

0:19:40.880 --> 0:19:41.280
<v Speaker 11>Because of that.

0:19:41.320 --> 0:19:45.680
<v Speaker 12>And I think some of our shortcomings hasn't been because

0:19:45.720 --> 0:19:48.120
<v Speaker 12>of the tight window catches that they've made. It's been

0:19:48.320 --> 0:19:51.160
<v Speaker 12>the other plays when they haven't been contested. So, uh,

0:19:51.240 --> 0:19:53.320
<v Speaker 12>we're fine with that, man, our guys we're gonna make

0:19:53.320 --> 0:19:55.080
<v Speaker 12>more of those plays, uh than not.

0:19:56.800 --> 0:19:59.200
<v Speaker 4>We've seen Arthur back out precticdent week I So you know,

0:19:59.200 --> 0:20:00.880
<v Speaker 4>whether whether it comes to this week or next week

0:20:00.960 --> 0:20:03.120
<v Speaker 4>or whenever, is that gonna make your job a little

0:20:03.160 --> 0:20:05.600
<v Speaker 4>more complicated in terms of finding work for him and

0:20:05.720 --> 0:20:08.040
<v Speaker 4>ar Darius and Eddie Jackson and et cetera, et cetera.

0:20:08.280 --> 0:20:09.000
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, definitely, man.

0:20:09.040 --> 0:20:11.000
<v Speaker 12>I mean, it's it's a it's a deep talented group,

0:20:11.160 --> 0:20:12.480
<v Speaker 12>Like we still believe that.

0:20:13.240 --> 0:20:15.600
<v Speaker 11>You know, obviously it is what it is what we've.

0:20:15.400 --> 0:20:17.160
<v Speaker 12>Done so far this season, but it's still a very

0:20:17.160 --> 0:20:19.359
<v Speaker 12>talented group and it's gonna be tough to try to

0:20:19.400 --> 0:20:21.240
<v Speaker 12>find different ways to get guys.

0:20:21.040 --> 0:20:22.520
<v Speaker 11>On the field. But it's it's good though, you know

0:20:22.520 --> 0:20:23.119
<v Speaker 11>what I mean. It means it.

0:20:23.200 --> 0:20:25.600
<v Speaker 12>I think it brings kind of a good like mid

0:20:25.640 --> 0:20:28.080
<v Speaker 12>season competition of you know, who can go out there

0:20:28.080 --> 0:20:29.800
<v Speaker 12>and go do what? Who can go execute at the

0:20:29.800 --> 0:20:31.960
<v Speaker 12>best and at the highest level. And you know the

0:20:32.000 --> 0:20:34.080
<v Speaker 12>guys that can do that that'll probably be out there.

0:20:34.640 --> 0:20:36.600
<v Speaker 6>What did on what have you seen from our Darius

0:20:36.640 --> 0:20:39.000
<v Speaker 6>or so get you know more snaps and seety last

0:20:39.000 --> 0:20:41.200
<v Speaker 6>week too in that role? What do you what do

0:20:41.240 --> 0:20:41.720
<v Speaker 6>you see from that?

0:20:41.960 --> 0:20:42.120
<v Speaker 5>Man?

0:20:42.160 --> 0:20:43.760
<v Speaker 12>I just see a guy that goes out there, and

0:20:43.920 --> 0:20:46.159
<v Speaker 12>I mean when the ball comes away, makes plays.

0:20:46.160 --> 0:20:46.320
<v Speaker 8>Man.

0:20:46.320 --> 0:20:47.840
<v Speaker 11>He's explosive, he flies around.

0:20:48.600 --> 0:20:50.480
<v Speaker 12>He's a guy who offers offers us a lot of

0:20:50.560 --> 0:20:52.960
<v Speaker 12>versatility because he can play safety, he can play nickel,

0:20:53.240 --> 0:20:55.399
<v Speaker 12>he can play don, he can do a lot of

0:20:55.400 --> 0:20:57.280
<v Speaker 12>different things. And then, like I said, ever since he's

0:20:57.320 --> 0:21:00.359
<v Speaker 12>been in there throughout the whole season, a I know,

0:21:00.520 --> 0:21:03.119
<v Speaker 12>the ball comes ad way so more times than now

0:21:03.119 --> 0:21:03.920
<v Speaker 12>he's gonna make a play.

0:21:03.960 --> 0:21:06.040
<v Speaker 11>So I'm excited about I didn't mean to rhyme.

0:21:05.920 --> 0:21:06.879
<v Speaker 5>But but.

0:21:08.880 --> 0:21:10.119
<v Speaker 11>He's just been a playmaker.

0:21:10.160 --> 0:21:11.800
<v Speaker 12>So you know, the more plays you make, the more

0:21:11.800 --> 0:21:14.040
<v Speaker 12>opportunities you're gonna get, and he's been taking advantage of that.

0:21:14.480 --> 0:21:16.160
<v Speaker 4>I know you talked about their passing game, but Chris

0:21:16.160 --> 0:21:18.520
<v Speaker 4>Godwin specifically, I mean, I think he's leading the league

0:21:18.560 --> 0:21:22.080
<v Speaker 4>in catches, leading the NFC and receiving yards. You know

0:21:22.160 --> 0:21:24.080
<v Speaker 4>what's really stood out about him. I mean, he's he's

0:21:24.119 --> 0:21:25.600
<v Speaker 4>been a good player for a long time, but the

0:21:25.680 --> 0:21:28.000
<v Speaker 4>numbers really pop a little more this year than recently.

0:21:28.280 --> 0:21:31.600
<v Speaker 12>I mean, he's always been a great receiver. He's always

0:21:31.640 --> 0:21:35.280
<v Speaker 12>been tough. He's always been you know, fast and strong,

0:21:35.440 --> 0:21:37.720
<v Speaker 12>can can play all different spots, can play in the

0:21:37.720 --> 0:21:40.040
<v Speaker 12>spot and can playing the slot, can play on the outside.

0:21:40.240 --> 0:21:42.240
<v Speaker 11>I think, honestly, I think he's just healthy.

0:21:42.320 --> 0:21:44.119
<v Speaker 12>I think he was banged up for the last you know,

0:21:44.280 --> 0:21:46.280
<v Speaker 12>year or so, and I think he's finally healthy, got

0:21:46.320 --> 0:21:49.240
<v Speaker 12>his legs back underneath them, and it's really showing. So

0:21:49.280 --> 0:21:51.560
<v Speaker 12>we got to make sure we have to have a

0:21:51.760 --> 0:21:53.640
<v Speaker 12>good awareness of where he's at and what he's doing.

0:21:53.680 --> 0:21:56.000
<v Speaker 12>And then the main thing is tackling him. I've seen

0:21:56.080 --> 0:22:00.000
<v Speaker 12>him stiff armed people and break tackles at a high rate,

0:22:00.200 --> 0:22:02.000
<v Speaker 12>probably at the highest rate of a receiver i've seen

0:22:02.080 --> 0:22:04.360
<v Speaker 12>so far, so that's gonna be a challenge for all

0:22:04.400 --> 0:22:06.439
<v Speaker 12>of our guys to get them on the ground.
