1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,200 Speaker 1: Real quick. I mean Shane Bowen defense. You know, we 2 00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:07,720 Speaker 1: saw it in Tennessee. Obviously, you know what, at the 3 00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:09,959 Speaker 1: end of the day, do you want the Shane Bowen 4 00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:13,080 Speaker 1: New York Giants defense? When people say that, what are 5 00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:14,080 Speaker 1: they going to see on the field? 6 00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:16,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, I hope they see us flying around, playing with speed, 7 00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:22,439 Speaker 2: playing with great effort. I think of physicality to our game, 8 00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:28,360 Speaker 2: playing with violence, tacking the line of scrimmage, guys being 9 00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:32,320 Speaker 2: fundamentally sound, not beating ourselves, making sure we're lined up 10 00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:35,400 Speaker 2: or communicating, doing everything pre snap that we need to 11 00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:38,720 Speaker 2: do to put ourselves in positions and make plays. But ultimately, 12 00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:41,640 Speaker 2: if guys fly around and we play physical, wife, I 13 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:43,280 Speaker 2: feel like that makes up for a lot of stuff. 14 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:48,559 Speaker 1: Have you got what's your sense of familiarity with this 15 00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:50,920 Speaker 1: roster right now? Obviously it's day one with the players 16 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:52,600 Speaker 1: and how much work do you have to do to 17 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:53,360 Speaker 1: figure out these guys? 18 00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:57,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, the spring is gonna be huge for that. Just 19 00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 2: talking to them this morning, I mean, it's it's a 20 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,400 Speaker 2: clean select for a lot of guys. Everybody's gonna get opportunities. 21 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,560 Speaker 2: We're gonna do some different things, put people in some 22 00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 2: different places than they might have been at times. I mean, 23 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,679 Speaker 2: I'm familiar. I've watched all the film from last season, 24 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:15,399 Speaker 2: so I have an idea. Uh, strengths, weaknesses, areas I 25 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,280 Speaker 2: think we need to improve, players need to improve specifically, 26 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,279 Speaker 2: but that will kind of continue throughout the spring. 27 00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:27,960 Speaker 3: Thank you, Tom Canavan, Hey Shane. 28 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,760 Speaker 2: How you doing good? How are you very good. 29 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,759 Speaker 4: When you come in and take over as coordinator? How 30 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 4: much of it of what you do is this is 31 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:43,679 Speaker 4: my defense? Look compared to these guys do this well? 32 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 4: I don't want to change them. 33 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, No, that's a that's a good question. Ultimately, as 34 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 2: a coach, in my opinion, you've got to put the 35 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 2: players you have in the best situations for them to 36 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 2: be successful. Right, So we have our scheme, our systematic 37 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 2: thinking of of what we want to do defensively, but 38 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 2: at the same time, we got to be able to adjust. 39 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 2: I think great coaching staffs always do. You got to 40 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 2: be able to adjust to who you have, so you're 41 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,239 Speaker 2: putting those guys in positions that are favorable to them 42 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 2: and not not putting them in positions that they might 43 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:16,679 Speaker 2: struggle in. 44 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 3: Thank you, Dan Duggan, Hey Shane. Just just to sort 45 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 3: of piggyback on that. 46 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,240 Speaker 5: You know, they're they're in a pretty unique scheme here 47 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 5: the last couple of years. So for a turning players, 48 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,239 Speaker 5: how much of an adjustment do you think it will 49 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,240 Speaker 5: be to transition into what you're gonna run? 50 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 1: Yeah? 51 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 2: I think Uh, I mean there's some similarities there are obviously, 52 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 2: Uh Wing took over for Dean in Baltimore. I took 53 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 2: over for Dean in Tennessee. So there's some terminology aspects 54 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 2: that are going to be similar. I mean, you guys 55 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 2: know the stats just in terms of blitz rate, what 56 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:56,239 Speaker 2: it was here compared to what we were in Tennessee. Uh. Ultimately, 57 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 2: we're gonna do what we need to do to win. 58 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 2: I think the biggest thing for me right now is 59 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,519 Speaker 2: getting a good handle on these guys and introducing from 60 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 2: the ground, ground level all the way up through making 61 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 2: sure we're understand the style of play we want to 62 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,079 Speaker 2: play with first and foremost, and then as we get 63 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 2: into x's and o's and kind of evolve and I 64 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 2: get a better feel for these guys that will kind 65 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 2: of take on a life of its own as we go, 66 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:23,840 Speaker 2: and then just kind of. 67 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 5: Made from high purposes, you know, in the past, we 68 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 5: kind of dose or what the prototypes were for certain positions. 69 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:30,360 Speaker 5: Just care as a cornerback, what are you looking for? 70 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,800 Speaker 5: What are the trade size measurables that you're looking for 71 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 5: at that position. 72 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, I want guys that can defend the deep part 73 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 2: of the field, the guys that can play man coverage, 74 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 2: and guys that are willing to tackle. Obviously, measurables are great, 75 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 2: but if they're able to get their job done with 76 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 2: being a little bit less at some of those measurables, 77 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 2: then I'm okay with that. But those are the big 78 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 2: three for me. 79 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 3: Got it? 80 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 1: Thank you? 81 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 3: Ye Peters Panorio. 82 00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 6: I Shane Peter Splendoria with the Daily News. He first 83 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 6: of all, just what was kind of your reaction to 84 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 6: the Brian Burns trade and kind of the processes that 85 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 6: played out. 86 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm excited to have him here. I am just 87 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 2: getting them in the building today. Obviously, he's had success 88 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 2: in this league. He's been an impact player in this league. 89 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,040 Speaker 2: So I'm excited to get him here, and we'll work 90 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 2: kind of throughout the spring and see where he's at. 91 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 2: And just like all these other guys, we got things 92 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 2: for him that he can improve on and things he's 93 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,359 Speaker 2: got to continue to do at a high level, but 94 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 2: really excited to add him. 95 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 6: And kind of to that point, just how much do 96 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,359 Speaker 6: you expect the front like the defensive line in the 97 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,600 Speaker 6: front seven to be a strength and how important is 98 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 6: that given I guess kind of the history of this franchise. 99 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,479 Speaker 2: Yeah, I hope, I hope it's a big strength for us. 100 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 2: I meant, we got guys up there, we got resources 101 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 2: up there, and those guys, I'm expecting big things from 102 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 2: them and we're going demand big things from them. So 103 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:57,039 Speaker 2: hopefully they can play off each other. They I think 104 00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 2: they complement each other really well in terms of what 105 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 2: they do well in terms of rush coordination and things 106 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 2: they come into play with that. But I'm gonna have 107 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 2: high standards for that group. 108 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 3: Thank you, Ryan some maybe Hey, Shane, thanks for doing 109 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 3: this no problem. 110 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 7: I can't really ignore the elephant in the room that 111 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 7: it didn't end well here. 112 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 3: For your predecessor, what kind of work. 113 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 7: Did you do the investigation did you do into that 114 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 7: into how you would be able to get along with 115 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:35,039 Speaker 7: Brian Daboll. Obviously I don't think you've worked with him, 116 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 7: but Vrabel has right, and you probably have a lot 117 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 7: of similar connections. What kind of research did you do 118 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 7: before taking this job? 119 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:46,279 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I met with Dave's throughout the interview 120 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,599 Speaker 2: process and got a feel for who he was. And 121 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:52,279 Speaker 2: obviously everybody's pretty connected throughout this league, so you have 122 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:57,359 Speaker 2: an idea and everything's been great. It's been really really 123 00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 2: encouraging being here these past two months with him, and 124 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 2: I'm excited for the where this thing's going to go 125 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 2: here in the future. 126 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:08,719 Speaker 7: And then obviously what you kept a lot of the 127 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,720 Speaker 7: former assistant position coaches? 128 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 3: I should say, uh, what went into. 129 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,279 Speaker 7: That because obviously, like you know, a lot of defensive 130 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 7: coordinators want to. 131 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 3: Pick their whole staff. 132 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 7: Why were you okay with, uh, you know, keeping some 133 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,480 Speaker 7: of the guys that were already here. Did you interview 134 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 7: them or was that kind of understood process and taking 135 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:29,280 Speaker 7: the job. Yeah. 136 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:33,360 Speaker 2: I think all the guys that were retained really good coaches. 137 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 2: I think they're really great at connecting with their players. 138 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,559 Speaker 2: They've had those relationships and that's such a big piece 139 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 2: in coaching. Probably the most important piece in coaching is 140 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 2: the relationship side of this business. I always say, these 141 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 2: these players don't care what you know until they know 142 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 2: how much you care right like, So I think that 143 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,599 Speaker 2: was a big part of it for me, is just 144 00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 2: their familiarity, their relationships already in play with these players. 145 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 2: Got a great feel for all those guys what we're 146 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 2: trying to do. I feel like they're in line with 147 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 2: there and sync. They got great ideas. So I'm really 148 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 2: happy we were able to retain them, and I think 149 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 2: it's going to be a benefit for for me, not 150 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 2: only early on getting a feel for these players and 151 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 2: how how things operate and how they operate from the 152 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 2: day to day basis, but also moving forward really with 153 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 2: with all these relationships. 154 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 3: Thanks you, Kim Jones, Hi Shane. Can you hear me? 155 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 2: Yes, ma'am? 156 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 3: Oh? Good, great, thank you. What's it like to inherit 157 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,360 Speaker 3: a player like a Dexter Lawrence? 158 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 2: Uh, it's good, It's good. I'm excited. I'm excited to 159 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 2: coach them. I am h. He's a proven player in 160 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 2: this league. I think the thing is just the continued 161 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 2: leadership that comes with his success. Continue to push the 162 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 2: envelope in terms of that, but in terms of the play. 163 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 2: What he brings out there on Sunday, from what I understand, 164 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 2: what he brings day in and day out, here. I'm 165 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 2: excited to have the opportunity to coach them and what 166 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 2: he can bring to our defense. 167 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 3: Well, your players have to unlearn some. 168 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 8: Of what they spent the last seasons doing Underwink because 169 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 8: of the different concepts. 170 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:34,680 Speaker 2: I don't know if I would say unlearned. I think 171 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 2: they'll take some of that what they've learned. The biggest 172 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:43,080 Speaker 2: thing really to me is probably terminology. Right. Everybody does 173 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 2: a lot of the same stuff, has a lot of 174 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,960 Speaker 2: the same scheme and system in their systems. It's really 175 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 2: just a terminology, and even me learning as I've kind 176 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 2: of progressed through, it's how can I relate to what 177 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 2: we're calling this now to what we called it before? Right? 178 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 2: So more or less, I think it's it's more so 179 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:07,839 Speaker 2: that because playing football is playing football. The technique, the fundamentals, oh, 180 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 2: that's going to be pretty similar, I think throughout schemes, 181 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 2: but mainly the terminology. 182 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 3: Appreciate it. Thank you, Tom rock Chane. 183 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 1: I'm wondering how you go about coaching the new hip 184 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:24,960 Speaker 1: drop tackle rules. 185 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 3: You know obviously that could be able to do it 186 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 3: live too much in practices and things like that. How 187 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 3: how do you attack that change? 188 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, we're in the process of studying it now. 189 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:40,680 Speaker 2: I think just bringing awareness to it. Understand that. The 190 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:44,480 Speaker 2: biggest thing for me is the situations guys find themselves 191 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 2: in when they occur, right like, if we have a 192 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 2: good understanding of that, I think that will lead to 193 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:53,840 Speaker 2: hopefully us being able to avoid it. I don't know 194 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 2: if it's going to be one hundred percent avoidable at times. 195 00:09:56,280 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 2: I hope it is. But at times you're be caught 196 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 2: in some situations and those guys are thinking, do whatever 197 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:04,679 Speaker 2: they can to get the guy down the ground, and 198 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 2: it might happen. But right now we're studying them. We're 199 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 2: trying to make cutups of them where we can show 200 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 2: these guys just so they have a good understanding of 201 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 2: in this situation when you're in this body position with 202 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 2: the ball carrier. These are when these things are showing up. 203 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 2: And then we got to be able to teach from 204 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:26,199 Speaker 2: that so where we can eliminate getting ourselves in those situations. 205 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:29,440 Speaker 3: And then if I if I could follow up at a 206 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:30,079 Speaker 3: different angle. 207 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 5: Isaiah Simmons is a guy that you guys brought back, 208 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,719 Speaker 5: didn't have to write, so obviously you have some kind 209 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:36,720 Speaker 5: of a vision for him. 210 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 3: What is that vision? Where do you see him fitting 211 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:40,040 Speaker 3: into your scheme? 212 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:43,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm excited he decided to come back. I'm excited 213 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:45,960 Speaker 2: we were able to get him back here. He's a 214 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:48,520 Speaker 2: unique skill set and I think it's it's a fine 215 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:54,240 Speaker 2: line for coaches. You see all the different I guess 216 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 2: things he's able to do that you can't overload them. 217 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,440 Speaker 2: And we're gonna have to work through this ring And 218 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,080 Speaker 2: right now, I couldn't give you a definite answer. I 219 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:07,080 Speaker 2: really couldn't. I think something that's gonna depend on some 220 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,320 Speaker 2: of these other positions and how things play out. But 221 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 2: he's played outside, he's played deep, he's played inside. I 222 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:18,360 Speaker 2: think the versatility to play man coverage is a big asset, 223 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 2: the versatility the blitz. So we're going to work through 224 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 2: that this spring and and hopefully get him in a 225 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,680 Speaker 2: spot he feels most comfortable where he can be most 226 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:27,559 Speaker 2: productive for us. 227 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:36,680 Speaker 3: Thank you, ye Shortan, we'n on. Hey, Shane, how you doing? Welcome? 228 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 1: Great? 229 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:37,560 Speaker 2: Thank you. 230 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:40,800 Speaker 3: I'm curious when you. 231 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,640 Speaker 9: Went through the evaluation of what is on the ross 232 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:44,880 Speaker 9: or what stood. 233 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:45,440 Speaker 3: Out see. 234 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think, uh obviously now, I think I think 235 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:54,800 Speaker 2: the front probably the main thing that stood out of 236 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 2: me throughout was the depth. I think we have really 237 00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,120 Speaker 2: good depth here. I think there's a bunch of guys 238 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 2: that have played a lot of football here. I'm looking 239 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,440 Speaker 2: forward to seeing some of those guys compete for possibly 240 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,680 Speaker 2: a bigger role here this spring as we kind of 241 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 2: get through practice and get into get into OTAs. But 242 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:15,839 Speaker 2: that would probably be the biggest thing. I think we 243 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 2: got good players at all levels. I think we have 244 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:22,200 Speaker 2: impact players at all levels. So I'm very encouraged what 245 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:22,960 Speaker 2: we have right now. 246 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:27,280 Speaker 9: And I think when people, you know, say okay, with 247 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 9: Shane's Bowen's defense, a lot of people are like, well, 248 00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 9: you know that was Forrabel's defense, you know, because I'm 249 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,320 Speaker 9: sure as a head coach he probably had some input. 250 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,320 Speaker 9: How different do you envision your defense being, you know, 251 00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 9: without Vrable here without his obviously, I'm sure you'll bring 252 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,679 Speaker 9: a lot of same things, but will it look different 253 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:46,200 Speaker 9: and how much? 254 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we're kind of working through that right 255 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,320 Speaker 2: now as a staff, just what we wanted to look like. 256 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:54,760 Speaker 2: We have an idea. There's going to be some things 257 00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,040 Speaker 2: in tennis that we did in Tennessee over the years 258 00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:00,680 Speaker 2: that that I feel strongly in. It's come out wise, 259 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 2: and then just really getting a feel for these players 260 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:07,440 Speaker 2: as we go with what my comfort level, with what 261 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 2: they're able to handle, how much we're putting on them. 262 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 2: The last thing I want to do is have so 263 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 2: much scheme. We can't focus on our style of play, 264 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:23,480 Speaker 2: the technique, the fundamentals and paralyzing ourselves before the snap. 265 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:25,840 Speaker 2: I want to make sure that that when that center 266 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 2: has his hand on the ball, we're lined up, We 267 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:29,320 Speaker 2: got our cleats in the ground, and we're ready to 268 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,720 Speaker 2: roll and attack and play ball and we're not overthinking 269 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 2: out there. 270 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:40,720 Speaker 3: We'll take three more. Patty Treina, Hi, Shane, Nice to 271 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,240 Speaker 3: meet you. Jane. 272 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:44,800 Speaker 8: I'm just wondering if you could talk a little bit 273 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:48,480 Speaker 8: about Kavon Thibodeau. I know you know you haven't really 274 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:50,719 Speaker 8: started working with him yet. I'm sure you studied him 275 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,240 Speaker 8: on tape. What did you see from him and what 276 00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 8: do you think his ceiling is? 277 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, he had he had a productive year last year 278 00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 2: where our goal was to build on last season. I 279 00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:04,720 Speaker 2: think the addition of Burns, having those guys be able 280 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,920 Speaker 2: to compete day in and day out is going to 281 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 2: be big for him. With any young player, and I 282 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,600 Speaker 2: know he's a little bit further along, but with any 283 00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 2: of these guys that are still kind of figuring it out, 284 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,400 Speaker 2: is just this time of year is huge for him, 285 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:28,080 Speaker 2: the development, the technique, the fundamentals, like we're going to 286 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 2: drive that home to him and hopefully we can continue 287 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 2: to get that same level of production and with some 288 00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,400 Speaker 2: more technique fundamentals that we're going to be coaching, we 289 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 2: can get a little more out of them. But again, 290 00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 2: we'll see, We'll see how the spring goes, We'll see 291 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 2: where we're at come training camp, and then obviously once 292 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:48,160 Speaker 2: the season gets going, where things are. But I'm excited 293 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,560 Speaker 2: to have him here. I think, yeah, he's a he's 294 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 2: a talented player. Hopefully he's going to be an impact 295 00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:56,040 Speaker 2: player for us. 296 00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:58,440 Speaker 8: And then if I could just follow up on the 297 00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,680 Speaker 8: pass rush concept here, there's obviously different ways you can 298 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 8: generate a pass frush. What's your philosophy as far as 299 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:06,640 Speaker 8: you know, do you like to do it from the 300 00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,600 Speaker 8: front seven? Do you like to throw in exotic blitzes? 301 00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:11,080 Speaker 8: Do you do a little bit of everything? 302 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, I would say, I mean, if you go back 303 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:17,000 Speaker 2: and look and at my time in Tennessee, it's it's 304 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:20,040 Speaker 2: been a lot of front pressure, right, like the front 305 00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 2: four being coordinated with their rush lanes, working together, finding 306 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,760 Speaker 2: ways to affect the quarterback, and then being able to 307 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:29,880 Speaker 2: use that to be multiple in the back end right 308 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:32,920 Speaker 2: where you're not delegating a piece up front. But we've 309 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,320 Speaker 2: done the gamut. We've bought four, we brought five, we 310 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:39,560 Speaker 2: brought six, We've done some of the zone pressure stuff, 311 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,680 Speaker 2: overload stuff, so we have it all. I think as 312 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:46,880 Speaker 2: we get a feel here into training camp and we 313 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:50,320 Speaker 2: feel really based on how we're feeling with the front 314 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:52,480 Speaker 2: and some of these other guys, how they can impact 315 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 2: as rushers from the second level. All that stuff comes 316 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:59,240 Speaker 2: into play. And really ultimately you're talking about how you 317 00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,120 Speaker 2: want to delegate resources, right are you delegating them for 318 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 2: the rush or are you trying to delegate them for 319 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,520 Speaker 2: the back end, And some of that comes into play. 320 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:08,640 Speaker 2: How good you are in the back end with less 321 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:10,840 Speaker 2: or how good you are rushing the quarterback with a 322 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:13,880 Speaker 2: little bit less. So that will evolve as we go, 323 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 2: but my history has been we got four guys that 324 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,280 Speaker 2: can rush, We're gonna let them go rush. 325 00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:26,680 Speaker 3: Thank you at Valentine, Hey coach, thank you for a 326 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:27,720 Speaker 3: few minutes. 327 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:32,600 Speaker 7: Obviously you're gonna be teaching something that's a little bit different. 328 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 3: Than what these guys have learned in the past. 329 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:39,000 Speaker 7: How do you do you have to be aware of 330 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:42,200 Speaker 7: that and how do you go about building trust with 331 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:45,000 Speaker 7: these guys in building buy in into what you're trying 332 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 7: to teach. 333 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:50,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, honestly, I think the approach is a 334 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,760 Speaker 2: little bit different. I don't think in terms of the 335 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 2: teaching and the schematics there's going to be a whole 336 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,360 Speaker 2: lot of difference. I think the approach day to day, 337 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:05,800 Speaker 2: week to week, in terms of our game plan, that 338 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:09,359 Speaker 2: might change a little bit. But I don't think there's 339 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:11,960 Speaker 2: going back to the previous question. I don't think they're 340 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,400 Speaker 2: really going to have to unlearn anything. I think it's 341 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:17,960 Speaker 2: just going to be are what we're emphasizing a little 342 00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:23,360 Speaker 2: bit more, these guys understanding their piece in the defense, 343 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:27,760 Speaker 2: how it all works together, understanding concepts, being able to 344 00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 2: tie them in so we can do different things that 345 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:34,160 Speaker 2: are similar in a lot of ways. But there might 346 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 2: be one or two variations here or there. But the 347 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:42,280 Speaker 2: focus right now is on style, play on fundamentals, and 348 00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:44,760 Speaker 2: as we get to scheme and we get going in 349 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,159 Speaker 2: that direction, I think they'll be able to pull a 350 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,120 Speaker 2: lot from what they've done in the past, and then 351 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:53,960 Speaker 2: if there's some new things here or there, we'll teach them, right, 352 00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 2: we'll teach them. But ultimately, for me, I think it's 353 00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:01,920 Speaker 2: more of a general approach from my standpoint than anything. 354 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:05,960 Speaker 3: Thank you, last one are at Stapleton. 355 00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:12,640 Speaker 10: Hey, Shane, you mentioned earlier the you know, the blitz percentages. 356 00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:14,640 Speaker 10: We all know them, we all know what the Giants 357 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:18,400 Speaker 10: did last year. But philosophically, it's almost like people want 358 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:21,080 Speaker 10: to use those percentages and then look at yours and say, well, 359 00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:24,119 Speaker 10: we know Bowen's not gonna blitz at all. I have 360 00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:26,880 Speaker 10: to talk to people down in Tennessee and said, that's 361 00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 10: not true. What do you say to the idea that 362 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:31,879 Speaker 10: you're you know, you like to play passively on the 363 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:33,680 Speaker 10: back end and you're not going to bring guys on 364 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:34,200 Speaker 10: the blitz. 365 00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:36,439 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna do whatever we gotta do to affect 366 00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 2: the quarterback and make sure the ball don't get thrown 367 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:42,320 Speaker 2: over our head. So whatever that is, however many guys 368 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:47,679 Speaker 2: we got to send, However, I guess less guys you 369 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,400 Speaker 2: can send and still get the same result. I think 370 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:52,639 Speaker 2: all that comes into play, and it takes all eleven. 371 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:56,240 Speaker 2: It does like like I mentioned earlier, if you're bringing 372 00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:59,200 Speaker 2: more to affect the quarterback, you got less back there 373 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 2: to help. If you have more back there to help 374 00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:05,000 Speaker 2: in coverage, you got less going to affect the quarterback. 375 00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:08,560 Speaker 2: So it takes all leven. It all ties together the rush, 376 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:13,200 Speaker 2: the coverage. However you want to want to piece it together, 377 00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:16,920 Speaker 2: I think depends a little bit on personnel. How you're 378 00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,399 Speaker 2: able to affect with with less, how you're able to 379 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:23,280 Speaker 2: affect with more versus is able verse, how you're able 380 00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:25,160 Speaker 2: to hold up in the back end. So it's gonna 381 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,199 Speaker 2: be fluid, like we've done it all, we really have. 382 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:32,040 Speaker 2: The percentages might not show up, but you go back 383 00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:34,560 Speaker 2: and find the find the ones that we did. It's 384 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:36,760 Speaker 2: it's probably gonna look a lot similar to what it 385 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,520 Speaker 2: was here, a little bit more on a higher percentage 386 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 2: than than what we did intense
