UH 5 00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:15,000 Speaker 1: well coached, going against uh McVeigh several times in the past. Uh, 6 00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:18,120 Speaker 1: those guys are alway always ready uh to play. So 7 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:22,000 Speaker 1: last week was last week. I know some of you 8 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:24,960 Speaker 1: guys are gonna have questions about that. To be quite 9 00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:28,320 Speaker 1: quite honest, I've moved on, uh because nothing last week 10 00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:29,920 Speaker 1: is gonna be able to help us this week. So 11 00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:32,600 Speaker 1: uh we're focusing right now in the Rams. And with that, 12 00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:33,959 Speaker 1: I take you questions. 13 00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:36,680 Speaker 3: If you wanna get their slot receivers quite a bit, 14 00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:40,440 Speaker 3: you guys had two different nickel configurations. 15 00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:43,479 Speaker 4: Uh in his perg did you learn anything from that? 16 00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:47,080 Speaker 3: I mean, did that kind of inform your decision on 17 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:47,640 Speaker 3: that position? 18 00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:51,240 Speaker 2: Movie Goward, No, I it's not quite a decision. 19 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,080 Speaker 1: Uh one Again with me, the season is so long, 20 00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,600 Speaker 1: so uh, I don't wanna wait until something happens to 21 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 1: try to get someone ready, you know. So it's always 22 00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 1: that constant trying to evolve and try to get guys prepared, 23 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,039 Speaker 1: whether I can stiller a series here or there. And 24 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:08,960 Speaker 1: I thought we did a great job for us getting 25 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,360 Speaker 1: Oliver in UH as well as At and pushing Demo 26 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:13,600 Speaker 1: to UH the nickel position. 27 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:19,399 Speaker 3: Stafford went extreme uh or May they went s extreme 28 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:23,119 Speaker 3: ball control last week and UH Stafford was really good 29 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 3: on third down. 30 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 2: They have two different receivers. 31 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 3: They got Nakua who's great hands, and they got at Well, who's. 32 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 2: A real burner. How do you you have to defend 33 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 2: them quite differently? 34 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:34,679 Speaker 4: Maybe you could talk about what you're seeing on a 35 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 4: film from those two receivers. 36 00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:39,040 Speaker 2: Well, I think it all starts with UH Stafford. You 37 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:40,960 Speaker 2: know ak A. 38 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,559 Speaker 1: Of course UH Cup is out, but as you mentioned, 39 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 1: they have UH capable receivers that can get the job done, and. 40 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 2: They did a great job last week. 41 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 1: As you mentioned controller running the football more than they 42 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 1: have shown in the past. I think he did a 43 00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 1: a excellent job for us, putting the ball where it 44 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 1: needed to be, great seven ball route on the sideline, 45 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 1: you know, he came down with that. 46 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 2: UH. 47 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,960 Speaker 1: So it's not so much about really trying to defend 48 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 1: certain guys. It's more about the quarterback and what we 49 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 1: can do with him. 50 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 2: What do you need to see. 51 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,640 Speaker 3: Out of Henry Thomas too for him to stay in 52 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 3: that role that he began. 53 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,240 Speaker 1: Last game in Well, it's it's with all the guys. 54 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:24,840 Speaker 1: It's about consistency. 55 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 2: You know. 56 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,800 Speaker 1: Again we stacked to go when the first game, but 57 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 1: how can we continue to do the same thing each 58 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 1: and every week. So that's where we're looking from all 59 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: the guys, just consistent play. 60 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 4: How did how did he play? 61 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:40,520 Speaker 2: I thought he played well. I thought he did some 62 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:41,079 Speaker 2: good things. 63 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 1: You know, I'm not all about the production and guys 64 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 1: look for you know, the stats and whatnot. I look for, Uh, 65 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 1: guys executing and doing their job, you know, uh, working 66 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 1: their technique based off the call in the situation. And 67 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 1: I thought within the defense he did that no ufunger. 68 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 2: Uh with the lateral on that interception. Is that something 69 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 2: that you encourage? 70 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,519 Speaker 4: Is is it something that they practice or is it 71 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 4: just something that happened. 72 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 1: It's something that we talk about all the time, which 73 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 1: is scoring on defense. And yes, we want him to 74 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 1: be smart with the ball. We know the ball is everything. 75 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 2: Uh. 76 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:16,959 Speaker 1: I felt like in that situation he probably could have 77 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 1: outran the offensive lineman. So judgment on him trying to 78 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 1: pitch the ball. Uh, just make sure that you know, 79 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 1: uh the guy's behind him and not in front. 80 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 5: Of him check from upstairs and on how bos was 81 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,119 Speaker 5: doing throughout the game and kind of what's the plan 82 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 5: with him going on this week? 83 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 1: Well, well, we constantly talk during each series, you know, 84 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 1: all the coaches, myself and Casaric uh as well as 85 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 1: uh Holland and then uh Daniel Bullock. So uh, yes 86 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 1: we did, and uh he was fine. I think it 87 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 1: was what thirty two plays he may have had. Uh, 88 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 1: So he was great in regards to that and no 89 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 1: setbacks this week. 90 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 4: The hallmark of Sean McVay offense. 91 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 2: What makes it uniquer its own thing? 92 00:03:58,000 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 5: Uh? 93 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 1: I I think it's it's a lot of window dressing 94 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 1: with all the motions and shifts and putting receiver in 95 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 1: the backfield, tight end at one, running back at one. 96 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,840 Speaker 1: So it tests your your variables as I call it, 97 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,600 Speaker 1: and make sure that your on point, your communication has 98 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,919 Speaker 1: to be great because one guy has his eyes on 99 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 1: the wrong spot. 100 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:21,919 Speaker 2: You know, that's a big play. 101 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:27,839 Speaker 3: They were so good in that game and second and long, 102 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:29,839 Speaker 3: third and long, which is a place where an offense 103 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 3: doesn't normally want to be a day thrive in it anyway, 104 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 3: How were they able. 105 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:34,920 Speaker 2: To do that? Well? 106 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,039 Speaker 1: I think once again, just the guy that's at the 107 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 1: quarterback position. Stafford does a tremendous job and getting the 108 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 1: ball ware it needs to go the pocket was great. 109 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:45,280 Speaker 1: You know, he had time to be able to sit 110 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 1: back and go through his progression. And then again I 111 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 1: thought the receivers stepped up. You know, the best one, 112 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,160 Speaker 1: one of the best in the league is down right 113 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,680 Speaker 1: now and you really couldn't tell based off their performance 114 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 1: last week. 115 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 5: Assessment of Drake Jackson's he's the next Lawrence Taylor. 116 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:02,919 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, a long way away from that, buddy, long way. 117 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 2: What was your Well, I was, I was very impressed. 118 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 1: But and you guys know from day one back in 119 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 1: the spring, I've been talking about him and his commitment, 120 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 1: uh to the off season in the weight room. He's 121 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 1: gotten bigger, he's gotten stronger, he stayed around here the 122 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,839 Speaker 1: whole time. So, uh, that first game was just really 123 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,039 Speaker 1: the fruits of his labor, maybe all of his. 124 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 5: Kind of second effort or you know, have the quarterback 125 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:29,839 Speaker 5: move from the pocket and he's there or he trips 126 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:30,480 Speaker 5: him at the right time. 127 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 3: Is there a technique to kind of that second effort set. 128 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 1: No, I think the key word that you just said 129 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 1: is effort. You know, that's what you can't control. Uh, 130 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 1: that's the state of what we do across the board. 131 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 1: We don't teach that, uh because Cerative does a great 132 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 1: job and always straining those guys each and every day 133 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:46,919 Speaker 1: in practice. 134 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:47,480 Speaker 2: Uh. 135 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 1: Something that needs to be noted though, is that our 136 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 1: inside guys were, like you call whether it was stocked 137 00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 1: in or magic. I was joking with Air because he's 138 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 1: six or eight. They they did a lot of cysts 139 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 1: this past week. Uh, for just really giving those guys 140 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,160 Speaker 1: the pocket inside of collapse right here. I mean we 141 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 1: were we were really killing them inside right there with 142 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,159 Speaker 1: the rush, and those guys on the outside are gonna 143 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,480 Speaker 1: benefit from that. 144 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,720 Speaker 2: No, it's it's just what we call factor. Great. 145 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 1: You know that Eric didn't show up in the stat sheet, 146 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 1: but you can watch that game and see that he 147 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 1: was a factor time and time again where someone else 148 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 1: made the play, Like those. 149 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,400 Speaker 4: Guys were getting doubled a lot and Bosa to which 150 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,280 Speaker 4: created more opportunities for Drake to one on one. How 151 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 4: much can that help that Drake is and guys are 152 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 4: taking advantage of those one on ones where maybe it opens. 153 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 2: Things up for those others. Well, I think it's gonna 154 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,160 Speaker 2: just like you know, we do. I do defensively. 155 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,479 Speaker 1: I think each week is based off what you're trying 156 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 1: to take away and who that opponent is. I mean, 157 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 1: take your choice with us. I mean you go with 158 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 1: Bosa and you're talking about Eric, you're talking about Drake 159 00:06:58,080 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 1: har Grave inside if you try to do the d 160 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,159 Speaker 1: I mean, so it's across the board, and we always 161 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 1: say if you one on one, you better win. 162 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,479 Speaker 2: The communication with Fred through the radio. 163 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 3: I know, this was the first real game that you 164 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 3: had a chance to kind of go with that play 165 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 3: calling back and forth. 166 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 2: It's been great. 167 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 1: It's been great Fred again, it's just a great leader 168 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 1: out there. Tastes control. 169 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 2: Uh. 170 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 1: He's so smart and gets the guys in the right checks, 171 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 1: right positions. 172 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 2: Things that we want that you're turnament with the rams. 173 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 5: It seems like they use that and a lot of 174 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 5: teams are using that to get receivers in motion and 175 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 5: build up some momentum, you know, before the snap. 176 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 4: What sort of challenges does that present for dvs. 177 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 1: Especially, Well, I don't think it's so much of a challenge. 178 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 1: I think it's maybe more of a benefit from them. Uh, 179 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 1: to the point to where you're exactly right, they're trying 180 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 1: to avoid contact, you know. Uh, so they put guys 181 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 1: in positions so they can get free releases. But from 182 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 1: the standpoint of us, you know, we can change things 183 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 1: around based off our coverages and even our alignment, so 184 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 1: I don't think it's a big advantage. 185 00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 2: You have the Notre Dame running back to the ram. 186 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 3: He had a couple of good runs, not a great 187 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 3: yards per carry, but he falls forward a lot. 188 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 2: Well. 189 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 1: I I I think he runs. In my opinion, he's 190 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 1: more of a power runner than Acres, you know. Uh, 191 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 1: I think they both compliment one another.
