1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,520
Speaker 1: Hi, Brian, Karen's Happy Halloween.

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:09,360
Speaker 2: Same to you. Wish ald costume don't have one?

3
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:12,879
Speaker 1: Huh yeah, I like honestly didn't know it was Halloween

4
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 1: until it's stuffed in here.

5
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 2: I'm curious. It's trade deadline day, and I was wondering

6
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 2: if there's any impact on you as coaches at all

7
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 2: this day, you know, potentially losing players.

8
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:38,599
Speaker 1: Not really, it's more like a you know, I'd say no,

9
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 1: no impact until something shows up, which is pretty rare

10
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 1: that trades happened in the NFL. But obviously if we

11
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 1: changed personnel in some way, that may affect us, you know,

12
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 1: as a defense. But you won't expect something to like

13
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 1: that to happen. I don't think it. It happens that often.

14
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 2: I also wanted to ask about Marte Mapu and we

15
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 2: still saw a little more of him against Miami kind

16
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 2: of in the free safety role. That kind of freed

17
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 2: up Kyle Duggart to play up a little more. How

18
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:25,680
Speaker 2: do you see Marte, you know doing to this point.

19
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:31,040
Speaker 1: I think Tay has done great as a young player,

20
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: you know, and coming from a smaller school, you know,

21
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 1: he's he's an excellent has an excellent mindset. I would

22
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 1: say similar to Doug when he came in, which was,

23
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 1: you know, somewhat similar situation. But they're both you know,

24
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: very open minded and eager to learn and smart and

25
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: in quiz did about you know, ways they can get

26
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 1: better and you know they want to learn, you know,

27
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 1: as much as they can. And both are very versatile players.

28
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 1: So I'm not trying to make them out to be

29
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: the same because they're you know, they're different too, and

30
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: you know different people too. But Tay's done a great

31
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: job of trying to learn everything you can in the

32
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: defense as a young player, which is what you want.

33
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,640
Speaker 1: You want them to understand the concepts of the defense.

34
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: You want them to be able to be versatile. And

35
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 1: he's doing that and learning well and you know, ask

36
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 1: a lot of good questions and is you know, building

37
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: like a young player does, and so we want to

38
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: just keep that process going and you know, every time

39
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 1: he's out there, excited to see what he does.

40
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 3: Thanks Brian, Thanks Karen. Next question Andrew Callahan follow by

41
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 3: Bob Soci.

42
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 2: Hey, Brian, how are you?

43
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 3: How bad?

44
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:06,799
Speaker 1: How are you?

45
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 4: If I'll do well thing? If you had to pick

46
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 4: a costume, what do you think you would have gone with.

47
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: M hmm.

48
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 3: Man, I haven't thought about that at all.

49
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: That's a good, that's good.

50
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 3: I don't know.

51
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:27,359
Speaker 1: The first thing that came to mind was like, you know, defense,

52
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: like the boogeyman, like coming after the offense or something,

53
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: gotta watch out for us. Yeah, something like that. That's

54
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 1: my that's my first instinct.

55
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, twenty nineteen, that that defense little boogeyman had something.

56
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

57
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 4: I wanted to ask you about josh u j. I

58
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 4: know you're not working directly with him in your position group,

59
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 4: but you've been around him, you know, since he's been here.

60
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 4: What has what does he mean to the defense when

61
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 4: he's on the field.

62
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: Josh So, you know, a great player obviously puts a

63
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: lot of pressure on the offensive line with his quickness, explosiveness,

64
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: you know, strength to power, you know, whatever it is.

65
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 1: But he's a you know, he gets off the ball

66
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:23,359
Speaker 1: very quickly, and I would say, you know, puts pressure

67
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: on that on the offensive line when you're lined up

68
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:30,040
Speaker 1: across the room. I'm sure I certainly wouldn't want to

69
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: line up across from him. There's a lot to deal

70
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 1: with there. So yeah, yeah, it's always always good when

71
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:38,840
Speaker 1: he's out there.

72
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 3: Appreciate it.

73
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 1: Brian, Thanks, have a good one.

74
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 3: Next question Bob Soci followed by Mike Greese.

75
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 5: All right, thanks Jacey, Hey Brian, how's it going. But

76
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 5: I bet I want to ask Hi about Kyle and

77
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 5: on Sunday his role when he got the Green dot.

78
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 5: He obviously speaks volumes with the way he plays, but

79
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 5: he's pretty quiet, and in terms of his dealings with us,

80
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 5: I'm just curious. You know, obviously he's.

81
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 6: Communicating the defense and he knows the defense. You've expressed

82
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:10,279
Speaker 6: how inquisitive he is, but his personality on the field

83
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 6: and his vocal leadership as well and getting people organized.

84
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 6: How'd you describe how he performed in that role.

85
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think he's He's done an excellent job. You know,

86
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 1: it's it's built up to this point. You know, you

87
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 1: don't just come in and understand everything, and and you

88
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,160
Speaker 1: can't just communicate to all levels of the defense. When

89
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 1: you come in that that trust builds, and the knowledge builds, builds,

90
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 1: and the communication builds. So that's built up over you know,

91
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: this is his fourth year, so and I would say,

92
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 1: you know, with with Devon not being here anymore, that

93
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,720
Speaker 1: there is you know, Devin's had the green dot in

94
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 1: the past. We lose someone like that, there is a

95
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: you know, someone asked to has to take that place.

96
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 1: And not that you know, anyone can replace Devin mccordy

97
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: with one person, but there is a communication center void,

98
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 1: you know, to an extent, and and if there's someone

99
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 1: who can communicate everything to you know, all three levels

100
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 1: of the defense, you know, as he saw on Sunday

101
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 1: with Bentley being out, he would be the person that

102
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 1: can that can do that. Not that there's not other

103
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: people who could do it, you know, there's other safeties,

104
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: other linebackers who could do the same thing, you know,

105
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 1: like if for example, Douglin down or something. But but yeah,

106
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: I do think it it there's a good message on

107
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 1: his his growth over the years and the confidence he

108
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 1: has to community to everyone in the defense of the

109
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 1: confidence we have in him to do that, and I

110
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:06,679
Speaker 1: thought he handled it very well.

111
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 6: This is kind of a weird question just to follow up.

112
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 6: But he's on the field every down. But if you've

113
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 6: got like like a linebacker who has the green dot

114
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 6: and he may not be on the field for some

115
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 6: third downs or in some situations, who inheritced that responsibility.

116
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that is an interesting one, and that's you know,

117
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 1: you can go different ways with that as a defense.

118
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 1: You can you go you can start signaling, you can

119
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 1: use someone who's on the field all the time. You

120
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 1: can you know, use another front guy who he knows

121
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: out there. But yeah, there's different different ways you could

122
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 1: approach that.

123
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 6: I would say, right, thanks, Brian, I appreciate it.

124
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 1: Thank you.

125
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 3: Trying to do two more questions Mike Rees and Taylor Kyle.

126
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 2: Alright, thanks Dacy.

127
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 5: Yet, Brian, I was going to ask you about the

128
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 5: green dot last week, so I'm gonna move it on

129
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 5: to Taylor and just ask you, how are you feeling.

130
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 3: How's the recovery going.

131
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 1: Going? Okay? You know, steady h steady, slow progress, and

132
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: you know some of those things you try to go

133
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: on a projectory steadily as you go. There's gonna be

134
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 1: some down days. It's gonna be some days you feel good,

135
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 1: and so you just try to, you know, like a

136
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 1: lot of the players talk about, too, let's try to

137
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:40,679
Speaker 1: take it day by day and make the most of

138
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:42,959
Speaker 1: the day you can, and hopefully you look back after

139
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks or a month, and I feel

140
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 1: like You've really made strides so welly uh, you know,

141
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 1: keep getting better and hopefully you can make a full

142
00:08:53,880 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 1: recovery in the end. Appreciate you asking last question, Taylor, Hey, coach,

143
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:05,479
Speaker 1: glad to hear that you're on an upward trajectory.

144
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:06,079
Speaker 3: That's great.

145
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:08,680
Speaker 4: I noticed that Mac Wilson has.

146
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 1: Of course, I noticed that Mac Wilson's been getting more

147
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 1: opportunities on the edge with josh Ucha out.

148
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 4: I always wondering what makes him an ideal fit in

149
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 4: that role, in what you feel that he brings when

150
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 4: he's down in the trenches the that role.

151
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think Mac is another versatile guy in our

152
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 1: defense who you know, can fit where we needed them,

153
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: where we need him and multiple places on the front.

154
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 1: And you know, he's a guy who you want as

155
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: many guys as you can really defend into this category.

156
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 1: Someone who's you know, explicively powerful, you know fast, you know,

157
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:56,200
