1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,000 Speaker 1: So we're you know, winding things down here on preparation 2 00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:05,760 Speaker 1: for the Bengals, as I said earlier in the week, 3 00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:07,800 Speaker 1: and it's really a good football team. I do a 4 00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:10,240 Speaker 1: lot of things well, certainly done things better the last 5 00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:13,640 Speaker 1: few weeks. And and uh, there was a lot of 6 00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:15,440 Speaker 1: a lot to get ready for a lot of pressure 7 00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:17,640 Speaker 1: on defense, a lot of skill players on offense, all 8 00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:20,479 Speaker 1: any kicking games. So hopefully you go up there and 9 00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:26,880 Speaker 1: you know, play player best game. That's our goal. Over 10 00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,360 Speaker 1: for questions for a game, bred Mi Prias, we're talking 11 00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:33,280 Speaker 1: about Geno Atkins on Wednesday, and you had mentioned something 12 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:35,839 Speaker 1: like there's some players like that at the position. Just 13 00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:39,519 Speaker 1: the way he plays, is that like sack or that 14 00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:44,800 Speaker 1: type of style? How would you describe it? Yeah, I 15 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:49,599 Speaker 1: mean the quick, athletic three techniques Randall, Yeah, I mean 16 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:53,880 Speaker 1: it's a bunch of them. With Darren Simmons, how much 17 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,640 Speaker 1: when you're going prepared against the special teams that you 18 00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:02,960 Speaker 1: basically see in Scott oh Bryant looking skirmish. They have 19 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 1: all our calls, we have all their calls. It's yeah, 20 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 1: way they handle situations is you know, probably fundamentally the 21 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:13,840 Speaker 1: way we would handle not that we always do it 22 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:15,600 Speaker 1: the same way. You might have two or three options, 23 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:22,680 Speaker 1: but you know you would see similar similar strategic positioning 24 00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 1: or um strategy that either we would use or have used, 25 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 1: you know, type of thing. The questions you're sure. I 26 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:42,360 Speaker 1: was going to say this for later. I thought there'd 27 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 1: be more patrious question. I wanted to ask you another 28 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 1: NFL question separate from Granted you're preparing for the Bengals, 29 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 1: but the Sunday's last game at the Oakland Coliseum. Just 30 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 1: curious if you have any favorite memories of playing games 31 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:59,639 Speaker 1: in that stadium in front of that baby's pretty intense fans. 32 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 1: It's like Halloween every Sunday there, So yeah, I mean 33 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 1: it's you know, this is a great environment baseball stadium, 34 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 1: so it kind of when I was configured that way, 35 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 1: which you don't see that much anymore. Um, you know, 36 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:21,240 Speaker 1: that's some great, great games out there. When I was 37 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 1: with the Broncos, of course we played out there, so 38 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:30,640 Speaker 1: that was especially at that time in seventy eight. The 39 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,959 Speaker 1: I mean, if I get that right, I'm pretty sure 40 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,800 Speaker 1: that the Broncos won the division that year. We were 41 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 1: right there with the Raiders. You know, it was the 42 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 1: Raiders Broncos. It was a very intense rival ry, so 43 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:47,520 Speaker 1: it was a lot of it was the game and 44 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 1: then there was all the other aspects of the game. 45 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 1: Um so so yeah, it's kind of you know how 46 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,359 Speaker 1: it started. We played there a few times since then. 47 00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 1: Um yeah, when I was in Cleveland, we played them 48 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 1: there in the coliseum. So it's you know, when you 49 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,800 Speaker 1: say the Raiders, it's not always Oakland. You know there's 50 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 1: some La in there too that you kind of got 51 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 1: to flip back and forth on. But yeah, the Oakland, 52 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 1: Oakland crowd, it was a lot more intense than the 53 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:21,919 Speaker 1: than the LA crowd, and um yeah, said that we'll 54 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 1: miss it, we'll miss it. Dared mentioned you're the black 55 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 1: hole as a visiting Yeah, well you kind of had to. 56 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 1: It's I think, you know, we've kind of warmed up 57 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 1: down there, so it's not really where you want to 58 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 1: be as a visiting coach. Told players not to stand 59 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 1: too close to me in case they throw something and 60 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 1: miss any any sadness that it's the cut end of 61 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 1: an era that multipurpose stadiums kind of yeah, sure, yeah, 62 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 1: it's yeah, you see a lot of those. Um, I 63 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 1: mean for me, it was Memorial's Dadium in Baltimore. But yeah, 64 00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 1: Coliseum there's yeah, it's just not but that's yeah. Life 65 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 1: moves on. So yeah, it's definitely the end of an era. Okay, 66 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 1: thanks appreciate it though, man, thanks, Yeah, press box that 67 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 1: was another spacious spot along with the locker room already up. Um, 68 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:30,040 Speaker 1: I was wondering. Tom Brady posted to Instagram today quoting 69 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 1: a music artist saying, we about to figure it out. 70 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,600 Speaker 1: Um do you do you feel like the offense is 71 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: kind of on the cosp of of figuring things out. 72 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 1: Every week we try to prepare to play our best 73 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:47,160 Speaker 1: on Sunday. It's what we've always done. I don't say 74 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,160 Speaker 1: it any differently, yefs talk about that. I don't know. 75 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,720 Speaker 1: Built before Thanksgiving, somebody ask you about what you were 76 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 1: like watching to watch a football game with, and you 77 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,359 Speaker 1: differentiated it. Was it an Army Navy game or was 78 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 1: it another game? What do you like to watch the 79 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,160 Speaker 1: Army Navy game win? Or are you are you yelling? 80 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 1: I'd love to see it, but it's you know, we'll 81 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 1: be traveling, so unfortunately, I'll just have to keep up 82 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 1: with it in some other way. But when you can 83 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 1: watch it, are you. What are you? What are you? 84 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 1: What is your temper? Navy? Navy obviously, but rooting for it? 85 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,040 Speaker 1: Are you? Are you watching it like a coach or 86 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:26,919 Speaker 1: you watching it like a like a fan? Are you 87 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 1: yelling at the television or well, when you're watching the 88 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 1: game on TV, you can't coach it, So yeah, you're 89 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 1: a fan? Is that something? When? Is that? Will that 90 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 1: be high in your bucket list to get back to 91 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,040 Speaker 1: when when the when your coaching career is over, to 92 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 1: get to see it live one again somewhere? Yeah, we'll see. 93 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 1: I don't know, I mean not tremendous appreciation or respect 94 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 1: for the game. You know, I have no idea what 95 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,159 Speaker 1: the future holds or anything else. So right now, just 96 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 1: try to get ready for Cincinnati and travel out there tomorrow, 97 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 1: which Navy will time for them to start winning again. 98 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 1: But that's always a competitive game and records don't mean 99 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 1: much and you know it's it's a game unlike any other. 100 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 1: So um, I'm sure it'll be great. Last season right 101 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:22,559 Speaker 1: around now is kind of when you guys beat towards 102 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 1: the end of the the season. What can you take kind 103 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 1: of from that run into this all? Keeping kind of 104 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 1: late at the right time of part. Yeah, I don't know. 105 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,600 Speaker 1: Last year's last year. We'll see what happens this year. 106 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 1: Let's keep doing what we've been doing, try to work hard, 107 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 1: try to improve, trying to play our best football each week. 108 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 1: So this week it's Cincinnati. Hopefully we can we can 109 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 1: play our best game this Sunday. That's our goal. I 110 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 1: question Run, I'm wondering how you've seen Bahammaan blend in 111 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,719 Speaker 1: with your team like off the field, because it seems 112 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,719 Speaker 1: like he had so many relationships with guys from the 113 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 1: outside will get in. It looks like you flended in 114 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,840 Speaker 1: with this wonder room Reefu. Yeah great. I mean he's 115 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 1: a great guy. I think it gets along well with everybody, um, coaches, players, 116 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:17,240 Speaker 1: offensive teammates, defensive teammates. I was involved in the kicking game. 117 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 1: So yeah, he's, you know, UM, a guy that has 118 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 1: a easy to get to know, easy to talk to, 119 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:27,120 Speaker 1: and seems to fit in pretty quickly. Yeah, good teammate. 120 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 1: Definitely just curious were you aware in all of Pete 121 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 1: Frady's and his ice bucket challenge and that als and 122 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 1: he passed away this week, and I was as curious 123 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 1: if you at all had any in team taken by 124 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 1: what he d thing this time. Yeah we did that, 125 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 1: um several years ago. UM, but now I didn't wasn't 126 00:07:52,120 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 1: order that he passed away. So thank you you guys 127 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 1: brought in Josh Deable this week at least for a 128 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 1: couple of days. What was it? What did you see 129 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:07,520 Speaker 1: him that made you want to work with him? What 130 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 1: did you see with him this week? And at times 131 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 1: he wasn't on the practice with Yeah, we got a 132 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 1: spot available in the practice squad and this gave us 133 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 1: an opportunity to look it up a younger kicker of 134 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 1: But I mean, we're gonna win next so that's it's 135 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 1: not really well, you know, worry about that next year. 136 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,880 Speaker 1: But you know, rather than just come in and you know, 137 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 1: do ah, I'll work out, we're actually able to you know, 138 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 1: kick with the team and I don't on the practice 139 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,120 Speaker 1: squad for a couple of days. So put that in 140 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 1: the bank and maybe it comes up later on at 141 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,800 Speaker 1: some point in time down the road. Maybe it doesn't. 142 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:49,680 Speaker 1: I'm not sure. See how it goes, Okay, I know 143 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 1: you don't get too concerned with sort of individual successes, 144 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,960 Speaker 1: but the pats are um not really popping up on 145 00:08:56,040 --> 00:09:00,319 Speaker 1: pro bowl a voiding. I wondered if that's any god 146 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 1: a curse to you where it's maybe and they're don't 147 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 1: aware of that, so I'll take your word for it 148 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 1: about it, man, I don't know that's something I've followed. 149 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 1: Last question, we're gonna park. Cincinnatia is one of the 150 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 1: best road zone defenses in the league. What stands out 151 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 1: about them? Um, you know, they've just played a lot 152 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,079 Speaker 1: of tight coverage. Um, they mix man and zone, but 153 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 1: their zones matched pretty quickly. So when you try to 154 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 1: run man beat or routes, you you run into zones 155 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 1: and if you run its own routes their match kind 156 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 1: of like man. They do a good job, but they 157 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,680 Speaker 1: make in some pressure as well, so you have to 158 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 1: you know, be aware of your pick up as well 159 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 1: as um, you know, the conventional kind of set man coverages. 160 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 1: So they do a good job mixing up. Obviously have 161 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:52,680 Speaker 1: a good front, so you don't you don't have a 162 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 1: lot of time to you know, make decisions, UM in 163 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:57,840 Speaker 1: the passing game, and they do a good job stopping 164 00:09:57,880 --> 00:09:59,320 Speaker 1: the run so it's hard to run the ball in. 165 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,320 Speaker 1: So they kind of do all those things well.
