1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,200
Speaker 1: Press more than be put on Bride's play ballume wise,

2
00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:05,440
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks, how's he really responded to that?

3
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:08,119
Speaker 2: Just his confidence he's done a great job. He can

4
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:09,600
Speaker 2: handle a lot. That was one of the things we've

5
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:13,120
Speaker 2: been most impressed with him early on. You'd never see

6
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:15,560
Speaker 2: it to the naked eye, but we change personnel so much.

7
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 2: There's times he plays Z, times he plays X, and

8
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:21,160
Speaker 2: he's able to do that really well. And it's great

9
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 2: communication throughout the receiving corps, the way we sub things

10
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 2: like that, and then just the mental aptitude to be

11
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:27,480
Speaker 2: able to handle a lot of that as a young player.

12
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 2: And we've tried to be intentional about kind of taking

13
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:32,519
Speaker 2: it slow with him and you know, give him a

14
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 2: lot of things, but still things that we think he

15
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 2: does really well. And then we'll continue to expand that

16
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 2: as he shows, you know, the ability to do even more.

17
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 1: Into a different guy. When he's on the food, whether

18
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:47,879
Speaker 1: the first down celebration that he gets flag Hoorn did,

19
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 1: he's like, you can see the will's turning as he

20
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:51,880
Speaker 1: picks up the big plays and he's trying to figure

21
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 1: out what to do to see him come out of his.

22
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 3: Show like kind of use that as fuel form. How's that?

23
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 2: It's awesome? I mean, he's a competitor. That was one

24
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 2: of the things you saw from the jump of You know,

25
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,040
Speaker 2: he's not celebrating stuff like that in practice, but you

26
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 2: see a different attitude, different competitiveness show up in those situations,

27
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 2: which is what you always hoped, which is what you'd

28
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:14,399
Speaker 2: heared in the past, and things like that makes it fun.

29
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 2: You know, you make a good play, you deserve to celebrate,

30
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 2: So things like that within the rules. Obviously, we don't

31
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 2: want to get a penalty that sets us back some yards.

32
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,320
Speaker 2: But yeah, I think it's it's fun to see guys

33
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 2: compete and enjoy competing.

34
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 3: Talked about this week Trevor Lawrence and compared him to

35
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 3: the sky cheffhe at the President's cub Adrenaline gets going

36
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,680
Speaker 3: sometime you see those deep passes that maybe sail a

37
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 3: little bit. How do you, I guess, deal with that?

38
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,680
Speaker 3: You just dialop another one and say, Okay, we're gonna

39
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,039
Speaker 3: take another shot, so you can kind of know because

40
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 3: you know he can make that throw, right, So how

41
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 3: do you deal with that?

42
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 2: I mean, it's we don't lose confidence in Trevor for

43
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 2: missing a throw. It's gonna happen here and there, and

44
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 2: obviously some of the ones that we've missed the other

45
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 2: day were potential big plays. But that doesn't that doesn't

46
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 2: deter us from anything. He has never shown anything to

47
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 2: lack the confidence to let anything like that affect him

48
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 2: to where if you saw that, I think if he

49
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 2: came off and you saw the wide eyes, or you

50
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 2: saw something or he said something that made you nervous,

51
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 2: then it's all right, we got to get this guy

52
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:09,839
Speaker 2: some layups. We got to get him back in the group.

53
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 2: We've never once felt that from Trevor. So as long

54
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 2: as we continue to see confidence from himself, this team,

55
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 2: this offense, this coaches that we have ultimate confidence in

56
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 2: Trevor to deliver every single time we ask him to.

57
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 2: Is he going to No, It's rare that people do

58
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 2: every single time, But you know, we're continuing to work

59
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,359
Speaker 2: for that consistency. As an offensive unit, we expect that

60
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 2: from him as well. But there's no lack of confidence.

61
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 2: We'll continue to give him the ball in critical situations through.

62
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:38,639
Speaker 3: How much interaction did you have with Brian?

63
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 2: With Brian, yeah, we had a we had a formal

64
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 2: with them, so a formal at the combine that fifteen

65
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 2: minute speed dating thing, we had a top thirty with

66
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 2: them here, so we got to spend a lot of time.

67
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 2: The top thirty here is where you really get to

68
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,079
Speaker 2: sit down, get a feel for him, talk to him,

69
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,919
Speaker 2: spend a day with them. They're still obviously out of

70
00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 2: their element. They're in a business interview, so tough, but

71
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:02,519
Speaker 2: we had a good feel for a lot. We know

72
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 2: a lot of people at LSU that had worked with

73
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 2: him throughout the course of his career there that had

74
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 2: great things to say about him, and obviously that's that's

75
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 2: important to you, Especially you're going to invest a first

76
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 2: round pick on a guy. You want to know the

77
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 2: ins and outs of the character, the work ethic, the competitiveness,

78
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 2: all that, and so all that came back great. We

79
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 2: had a great feel for him here and he's been

80
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 2: nothing but impressive as we've gotten here.

81
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 1: Like, did you know that going in.

82
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,079
Speaker 2: That was a little bit of Yeah, I mean he's

83
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,799
Speaker 2: he's to himself and he's about his business and and

84
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 2: that's just kind of how he is. But it was

85
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 2: it won't anything where we felt like we can't work

86
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 2: with the kid because he keeps quiet he's just he's professional,

87
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 2: he's mature. He goes about his business the right way.

88
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 2: If he needs to ask questions, he'll ask questions. But

89
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 2: for the most part, he just kind of goes about

90
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 2: his business the way he does.

91
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: Been a little bit more open about like if he

92
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: was here when he got here.

93
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 2: Just growing every single day. I don't know if I

94
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 2: put a number on it, but I think you just

95
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 2: see and again I think it you kind of take

96
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 2: it for grant that these guys move to a new

97
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 2: city with new faces and a new building. They're trying

98
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 2: to figure out everything. Where do I stay, how do

99
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 2: I get the work, what are the coaches expecting me?

100
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 2: Who are the coach like all that type of stuff.

101
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 2: So I think, just naturally you spend more time around

102
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 2: an environment, you're going to grow into that environment. And

103
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 2: so I think that's just something you're seeing with him.

104
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 1: How much of a negative impact has it been just

105
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: not having evany Ingram from the field the last few weeks.

106
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, obviously. I think one of the big parts is

107
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 2: Evan's such a like energy giver for our group, just

108
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 2: the way he plays the energy, He plays with the

109
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 2: energy on the sidelines in practice, that enthusiasm is a

110
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 2: big thing. So I think we've to an extent missed that.

111
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 2: Now we have the other guys that step up into

112
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 2: that role and do a good job, and then just

113
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 2: Evan's production through his time here is something obviously you're

114
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 2: going to miss. Now. We're very happy with Brenton's progression,

115
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 2: the way he stepped into that role, being able to

116
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 2: use Luke a little bit more here and there. But

117
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:53,919
Speaker 2: anytime you're missing a great player, obviously it's going to

118
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:55,280
Speaker 2: impact you in some way, shape or form.

119
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,559
Speaker 1: Has that change how you guys might attack the middle

120
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 1: of the field. It feels like there's a lot more outside.

121
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 1: I mean, do you feel that way with that? It

122
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: seems like the middle of the field hasn't been attacked

123
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 1: as much. Is that because of Evan or is it

124
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: just how the game is gone or what's what we go?

125
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 2: A little bit of both, I mean a little bit

126
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 2: of the covered structures you get and things like that,

127
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,280
Speaker 2: of how many people they put inside the numbers, the

128
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 2: way you do certain things, what type of linebacker are

129
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 2: you attacking? Is play action affect them? Does it not?

130
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 2: There's certain things and then obviously, yeah, Evan has the

131
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 2: size and the capability to produce over the middle of

132
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 2: the field. But no, I wouldn't say that that's helped

133
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 2: us back in anyway shap or form, not having Evan

134
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 2: Oh is the.

135
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 3: Short yard of situations? You need one yard? I mean,

136
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 3: is it frustrating when you can you're there, you need

137
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 3: one it's fourth and one. You're on the goal line,

138
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 3: whatever it may be, and you're trying to kind of

139
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 3: dig in your bag of tricks to figure out what

140
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:48,919
Speaker 3: you can do to pick up that one yard.

141
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, every situation is its own, so you're

142
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 2: you're looking at a number of things, and that one,

143
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 2: you know, we decided to go to eleven personnel, spread

144
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 2: them out, had a five man box. Didn't work out

145
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 2: for us, and we want to go back to our process.

146
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 2: How did that play get there? What did we expect?

147
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 2: Did we wrap it against a certain looks, did they

148
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 2: play it a certain way? All those types of things.

149
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 2: But that's different than so we're gonna get in big

150
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 2: people and we're gonna line up and we're gonna run

151
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,359
Speaker 2: this play, kill it to that play for a certain looks.

152
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,679
Speaker 2: So you know, each situation is its own, will handle

153
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 2: each one its own way and We're always just trying

154
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 2: to do what's best for our personnel against their personnel

155
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:22,719
Speaker 2: in the situation.

156
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 1: What's the what's the I guess the answer. I guess

157
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,039
Speaker 1: you would do it if you knew it. But for

158
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 1: the red zone, for the red zone stuff, you know,

159
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 1: what's been the the crux of that.

160
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 2: And really, I mean again, each one's kind of been

161
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 2: a little bit different as we've gone. You know, we

162
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 2: had the fourth and one opportunity at Houston, which again

163
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 2: we were happy with the way it presented itself, but

164
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 2: we didn't you know, for a number of reasons, it

165
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 2: didn't go the way we hoped it would go. You know,

166
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 2: at Cleveland, we had some communication issues that kind of

167
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:53,600
Speaker 2: set us back a little bit, put us in a

168
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 2: little bit of a friends. We scored a touchdown, have

169
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 2: a penalty, get called back. So there's again, each situation

170
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 2: is its own thing. We don't just throw a blanket

171
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 2: over it and say this is why we look at

172
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 2: each one individually, this is why this didn't work, this

173
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 2: is why that didn't work. Whatever it may be, this

174
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 2: is why it did work. Or then we go back

175
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 2: to our process. Are we showing them the right thing

176
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 2: or we the reason for that being on the call sheet.

177
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 2: Sometimes it comes down to we're in this personnel, they're

178
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 2: going to play that personnel percentages tell us there and

179
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 2: this coverage that defense. There's a lot that goes into it.

180
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 2: That's why we spend all this time during the week

181
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 2: of doing that, and then we try to prep our

182
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 2: guys off. Here's the expectations. Here's also the outliers we

183
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 2: need to cover and be prepared for as well. Defense

184
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 2: I think very disciplined. I think I wouldn't use the

185
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 2: term simple because it's not simple. But they know what

186
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 2: they do really really well. They know what you're trying

187
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 2: to do to attack them really really well. They spend

188
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 2: a lot of time emphasizing those route concepts, those runs,

189
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 2: whatever that may be, of how you attack them because

190
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 2: they've seen it. They've run. This defense to its core,

191
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 2: has been run since Seattle, Legion of Boom, all that

192
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 2: type of stuff. It's been through this building obviously, so

193
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 2: guys know it really well. They know their issues very well.

194
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 2: They fly around sideline to sideline. They're very disciplined in

195
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 2: their gap assignments. And then they've got the d linemen

196
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 2: to make it go and Grover Stewart has made as

197
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 2: much as an impact as any defensive tackle in the

198
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 2: last two years, probably just getting off the ball and

199
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 2: damaging some things and then it's made I think Zaire

200
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 2: has been top five and tackles and the last two years.

201
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 2: I mean that a lot of that comes from the

202
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 2: way the d line gets off the ball and the

203
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 2: way they understand their fits and how they're making plays

204
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 2: defense like that.

205
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 1: That's so disciplined.

206
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:32,079
Speaker 3: They know how you want to kind of attack them

207
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,680
Speaker 3: because of their weakness. Is how difficult is it or

208
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 3: how much pressure doesn't put on guys that do the job.

209
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 3: That's the right way to make sure.

210
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 2: I think a lot of it's your quarterback just executing

211
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 2: the simple routine, boring plays over and over and just

212
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:47,359
Speaker 2: being productive. And this is what it takes to find completions,

213
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 2: to move the ball forward, to stay ahead of the chains.

214
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 2: And that's something we feel like we've done well through

215
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 2: the course of it. But it's hard. Sometimes it's hard

216
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 2: to all right, we haven't tried to throw the ball,

217
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:57,839
Speaker 2: we haven't tested them deep. We need to take a

218
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 2: shut all that, and sometimes it's just keep throwing six

219
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 2: yard completions, keep protecting the ball, keep drop, stepping knife

220
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 2: in for extra yards, over and over and over and

221
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 2: over and see where the course of the game takes us.

222
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 2: Thanks
