1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:02,920
Speaker 1: Else, how are you doing good?

2
00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:05,440
Speaker 2: Josh, want to get out of the way.

3
00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:07,520
Speaker 3: Were you the better athletes than your brother?

4
00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:10,040
Speaker 1: Can help? No, I'm not.

5
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:11,800
Speaker 2: What was it like growing up?

6
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:12,880
Speaker 3: Uh?

7
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 1: It was. It was a great experience, obviously being able to.

8
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 4: Watch him play after I got done playing and all

9
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 4: the rest of it.

10
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: You know, kind of grew up in a coaches household.

11
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 4: You know, my dad and you know, just super proud

12
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 4: of what he's been able to do. And you know,

13
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 4: obviously these are interesting situations when you find yourself competing

14
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 4: with your sibling, but a little bit more interesting for

15
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:46,160
Speaker 4: my parents than anybody else. But I know it's uh, uh,

16
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 4: we're looking forward to the opportunity, and I know he's

17
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 4: trying to beat us, just like we're trying to beat him.

18
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 3: Steph also finds it interesting because he said yesterday, if

19
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 3: you have been, I think they got the older little

20
00:00:58,760 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 3: brother thing still going on.

21
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 1: I don't know about that.

22
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:07,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's ah, we compete almost in anything we do, honestly,

23
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 4: which is kind of fun, and uh.

24
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: This will be no different.

25
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 4: So I think this is our fourth time having an

26
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,960
Speaker 4: opportunity to do this just a little bit more more

27
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 4: at State.

28
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 3: What about looking across the sideline this week and a

29
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 3: lot of your four staffs over there, to guys who

30
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 3: works with you here, what could be like put against them?

31
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean again super excited that they've all have

32
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 4: had opportunities, you know, to to move forward and do

33
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 4: different things in their career. They've obviously done a nice

34
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:43,320
Speaker 4: shop you know, of the things they're responsible for, and

35
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 4: you know.

36
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: Looking forward to the competition part of it.

37
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 4: But you know, you have friends with every team really

38
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 4: that you you know, if you're in the league long enough,

39
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 4: you have friends across the sideline almost with every game

40
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 4: you play.

41
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: And uh, this will certainly be no different.

42
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 4: And the fact that you know, we know each other

43
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 4: a little bit more because we've worked together for a while.

44
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 4: And I don't really go too too far into the

45
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 4: advantage gained or not gained. We all have an opportunity

46
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 4: to do whatever we want to do this week, you know, schematically,

47
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 4: and it's ultimately going to come down to our players,

48
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 4: so you.

49
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,959
Speaker 1: Know, look forward to the competition hopefully.

50
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 2: Of course, the years a very compliment. He is an

51
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 2: often support not only guess his strength and weaknesses, but

52
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 2: also kind of hits of his an individual what he's

53
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 2: called to Uno last year, the hospitality Vidicat except for

54
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 2: you to see him have the success he's have a

55
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:34,799
Speaker 2: lot of use.

56
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 4: It's the most rewarding part of coaching. I don't think

57
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 4: there's any any question about it. Uh, you know, the

58
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 4: the greatest thing we can receive back is is when

59
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:49,079
Speaker 4: our players go through different things and work hard to

60
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 4: overcome them, you know, whether it's an obstacle or an

61
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 4: adversity in their life or their career. And uh, you know,

62
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 4: we we we grow close to a lot of these guys,

63
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 4: you know, because we're with them for for so long,

64
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 4: for so many years or days or whatever, and you

65
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 4: get to know him as people, you know, beyond the

66
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 4: guy and the helmet, and so you know, just you know,

67
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 4: I know what Andre has gone through it, but I

68
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 4: know who Andre is and where he comes from. I

69
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 4: know what his family's like, and it's just, you know,

70
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 4: it's it's super rewarding for me as a coach to

71
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 4: watch him have success and and continue to do the

72
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 4: things that he does. He's a he's a better person

73
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 4: than he is a player, and he's a really good

74
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,919
Speaker 4: football player. And so when you get an opportunity to see.

75
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: Guys do that. It's it's really special against.

76
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 3: Your brother in the regular season. This is the first

77
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 3: time in the playoffs. Does this feel different?

78
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: Yep? It does. You know, again, I'm not competing against him.

79
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 4: We're competing against the Texans, and this will be a

80
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 4: hell of a game and it's gonna be an enormous challenge,

81
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 4: and so you know, uh, one of us will lose

82
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 4: and one of us will win. And so we know

83
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 4: that going into the game, and I'm gonna do everything

84
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 4: in my power that i can do in my role

85
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 4: to help us win, and I'm sure he's gonna do

86
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 4: the same.

87
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 3: Comparison questions, are the favorites around here? But just given

88
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 3: your history of perspective, where does this Houston defense rank

89
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 3: among the most challenging each based Yeah.

90
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,039
Speaker 4: I mean it's it's really good. I mean it's the

91
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 4: best one we've played all year. And that's saying a

92
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 4: lot because we played some really good ones.

93
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: This year historically. I don't know.

94
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,840
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, that's hard to you know, gauge

95
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 4: different teams, different eras, et cetera. But there's nothing they

96
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 4: don't do well, So you can start with that. You know,

97
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 4: they're extremely well coached Demiko matt Their entire staff is

98
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 4: an incredible job. They're very connected. They don't make any mistakes,

99
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 4: so you know you're not going to get lucky, you know,

100
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,159
Speaker 4: and have them blow for coverages and you just you know,

101
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 4: gain two hundred yards. So everything you get you will earn.

102
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 4: You know, every snap, every down will be difficult. They

103
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,839
Speaker 4: make the running game difficult, you know. They they run

104
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:05,839
Speaker 4: and hit, they tackle, they're violent, they're very physical. This

105
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 4: is probably the fastest group we've seen all year at

106
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 4: all three levels. They run really really well. Uh, the

107
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 4: holes that you may have there won't be there long,

108
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,280
Speaker 4: whether that's in a running game or you know, anything

109
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:21,479
Speaker 4: you find in the secondary, you know that's gonna be tight. Obviously,

110
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 4: the pass rush, everybody's talked about it. You know, the

111
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 4: pass rush is elite.

112
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,599
Speaker 1: I'd say the coverage is close to that too. They do.

113
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 4: They have a really good combination there in terms of

114
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 4: the way they rush and cover. So, you know, this

115
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 4: just a challenge schematically, but it's a challenge. They have

116
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 4: great players, they know what they're doing. They're fundamentally sound.

117
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to drive the football. There's not a

118
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:45,839
Speaker 1: whole lot of easy opportunities.

119
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 4: You're gonna need to convert some third downs, so and

120
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 4: certainly take care of the football because they do an

121
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 4: incredible job of taking it away. So I have a

122
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 4: great deal of respect for the guys that coach them,

123
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 4: and obviously they have elite players at all three levels

124
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 4: of the defense. And what a challenge, what an opportunity

125
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,039
Speaker 4: for us to have a chance to play against a

126
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:08,279
Speaker 4: team like this that's playing their best football of the season.

127
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 1: There's no question, Josh.

128
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 4: When it comes to game planning this week, just how

129
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 4: much do you kind of start with can we block this,

130
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 4: you know upfront.

131
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 3: To put this in and every play, how can you

132
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 3: kind of help the tackles out?

133
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 4: Yeah, Look, I mean the reality is is at some

134
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 4: point in every play it becomes one on one somewhere,

135
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 4: you know what I mean, Like, you can't.

136
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 1: We can't.

137
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 4: We're not gonna double team everybody on every play. It's impossible,

138
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 4: and we don't need to.

139
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 1: You know, you have to.

140
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 4: You have to pick your spots on when you need

141
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 4: to provide some some different looks. I would say more

142
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:46,160
Speaker 4: than anything else. But you know they're gonna rush, We're

143
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 4: gonna have.

144
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 1: To block them.

145
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 4: We're gonna throw the ball, they're gonna have to cover,

146
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 4: they're gonna blitz, we're gonna have to block them.

147
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: You know, we're gonna.

148
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 4: Hand the ball off and try to make some yards

149
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 4: in a running game too, So you know, there's a

150
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 4: lot of things you could try to do. At the

151
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:01,359
Speaker 4: end of the day, you're going to need to do

152
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,599
Speaker 4: almost everything you do well enough to stay ahead on

153
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 4: the down and distance and stay on track and give

154
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 4: yourself opportunities to finish drives. So there's got going to

155
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 4: be any shortcuts to this, you know, I said schematics

156
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 4: or schematics, But at the end of the day, you know,

157
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 4: we're going to need to play our best game of

158
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 4: the year offensively if we want to be productive.

159
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: I know that has been a big error repeater this season.

160
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 2: How confident are you that you won't have some of

161
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 2: the full security issues they took one.

162
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 1: Very you know.

163
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 4: I mean again, there's a we've talked about this all year,

164
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 4: the balance of you know, we love that he were

165
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 4: in for sixty six yards, you know, and handle the ball,

166
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 4: you know, in those situations and converted on third and

167
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 4: short and all the rest of it. You know, I've

168
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 4: tried really hard not to, you know, talk out of

169
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 4: both sides of my mouth, you know where I'm saying, Hey,

170
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 4: don't do this, but do that, you.

171
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 1: Know what I mean?

172
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 4: Or clap when it goes good and be upset when

173
00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 4: it doesn't. So he knows the he knows the priority.

174
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 1: He knows the importance of taking care of the football. Uh.

175
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 4: And then every drive with you know, some form of

176
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 4: a kick would be ideal for us this week.

177
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 1: And he understands that.

178
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 4: So I trust him implicitly to do the right thing

179
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 4: for a football team.

180
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 1: I know he's prepared.

181
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 4: I know he's preparing his butt off right now and

182
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 4: he'll be ready to Go's and Anderson specifically, I'm sorry,

183
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 4: what are you seeing from Hunter and Anderson specifically?

184
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 3: And what you know on film?

185
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 2: And well, we'll take from the offensive line kind of

186
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 2: the built against those guys.

187
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 1: This is the best due in the league.

188
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 4: There's a lot of good ones, there's a lot of

189
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 4: good duos, but you know, and and and the thing that.

190
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 1: Makes this whole group, I think, as good as.

191
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 4: They are, is it's not just them. They have two

192
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,559
Speaker 4: inside guys on every play that do something.

193
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 1: Productive as well. They've created a lot.

194
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 4: Of problems in the middle of the pocket, whether it's

195
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 4: autry or rankings, or they got a number of guys

196
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:57,679
Speaker 4: that have played in there and they're going to roll

197
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 4: inside as well, So you.

198
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 1: Have to block all four of them together.

199
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:03,839
Speaker 4: You can't just say, well, let's do everything we can

200
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 4: to block two guys, because then the other two are

201
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 4: going to create a mess.

202
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 1: So it's you know, they have length, they have speed,

203
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 1: they have power.

204
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 4: I think the thing that nobody talks enough about is

205
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:16,719
Speaker 4: the effort that they play with.

206
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:18,319
Speaker 1: I mean that's elite.

207
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 4: The effort that they play with is elite, and we're

208
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 4: going to have to match the effort and play to

209
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 4: the whistle on every play because they make a lot

210
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:28,959
Speaker 4: of plays because they play harder than you do, they

211
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 4: play longer.

212
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 1: Than you do, and so we've seen that.

213
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 4: It's clear to see you put on any textan game

214
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 4: and you're going to find that on the film, so

215
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 4: we understand their play style. Like I said, this is

216
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,839
Speaker 4: as big a challenge as we've seen all year, as

217
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 4: it should be. Each time you win in the playoffs,

218
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 4: the next team you play is the best one you played,

219
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 4: So this is not a surprise to me.

220
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:52,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, thank you,
