1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,880
Speaker 1: You know coming out of last week. Um, you know,

2
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:07,640
Speaker 1: the beginning of the game is a thing that we

3
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:11,240
Speaker 1: have to improve ourselves. And um, you know, you go

4
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:13,160
Speaker 1: look at the tape and you judge the tape and

5
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 1: you can't. You don't just sit back and say, um,

6
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:18,320
Speaker 1: we started flat. We didn't you know, we weren't playing

7
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 1: you know whatever it was. But it comes down to

8
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the game, it was first and ten,

9
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 1: it's second and eight, it's third down. It's a first

10
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 1: and ten second long a third down, and that cycle

11
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:34,199
Speaker 1: repeated to another fourth down again. The theme has went

12
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 1: on third down and get off the field. So I

13
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:38,919
Speaker 1: gotta call it better, we gotta coach it better, and

14
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 1: we gotta win a match up on one of those

15
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,279
Speaker 1: early third downs to get off the field. Um. If

16
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: the game we're played out first and ten, first and

17
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 1: ten second one and that's what it was, all the

18
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 1: ways they marched on the field, then yes, I would

19
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: wonder where were flat? Did did you know? Um? Were

20
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 1: there are things that I didn't do in preparation for

21
00:00:58,000 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 1: our guys to get them ready to go early in

22
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 1: the game. But um, you know, you look at the

23
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 1: second play of the game at second eight, and we

24
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 1: really have a chance to make it third and eleven.

25
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: You know, we have a chance to hit him in

26
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: the backfield, and um, it ends up being a three

27
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 1: yard game instead of a three yard loss. It's third

28
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 1: and five. So we find those plays and we and

29
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: we talk about fundamental techniques, how we can play better

30
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:22,839
Speaker 1: in no situations. Um, you know, there's there's a few

31
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: big runs there where where again it's a it's a combination.

32
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 1: We we have to coach it better and we have

33
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: to execute better. And see polls, Um, you know two

34
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:34,960
Speaker 1: outside runs where there's stretched with poles, a little bit

35
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: different setups on both of them, um than one where

36
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 1: there's an insert play we we didn't fit well. And

37
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 1: those are the three big runs that we gotta get

38
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: rid of and eliminate from the game. And um, we

39
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: do that. I like where we're headed in the red

40
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: zone in terms of red zone defense overall, just we

41
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 1: gotta get the runs and we gotta get those handled

42
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: in the red zone. Um. But our guys they're they're

43
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 1: they're tough, they're resilient again, and I love coaching this group.

44
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 1: They love to work, they come in, they're open minded

45
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 1: about corrections, they're very self aware and you have no

46
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 1: chance to build anything and to get better if guys

47
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: aren't self aware. And I love that about this group. James,

48
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: where is that Sam Bell? In terms how closely as

49
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: eseevigable going into next week and when he does get healthy,

50
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,839
Speaker 1: do you see it more of an outside guys slot guy?

51
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: Where do you see him fitting? Sam's going to be

52
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: an outside corner when it when it comes back, and um,

53
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: you know that that's just gonna be a day to

54
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 1: day how he progresses, how he is um fully healed,

55
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 1: not where he's at. You know, Sam hasn't practiced a

56
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: ton as we know, so this is every day is

57
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: great for him. Every meeting is invaluable for him. Um,

58
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: he's been he's been able to watch tape, but it

59
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: has been able to watch himself on tape. And so

60
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: that's why the meetings are so important because it's it's

61
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: a great self evaluation. Sit and watch every bit, watch

62
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 1: in visual watch his scout team reps, watch his defensive

63
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 1: team reps, watches special teams reps. All those things are

64
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: key for him, UM to try to build until um

65
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 1: that decision is made next week. What is it maybe

66
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: you're working with him. When you look at technique, is

67
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: it just physical building up? Yeah, it's it's certainly technique.

68
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: It's certainly technique. Young player who just needs as many

69
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 1: reps as he can to get himself on tape that

70
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:30,919
Speaker 1: you can coach the fundamentals and techniques. Then um, obviously

71
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 1: beyond that is the scheme and the calls. He just

72
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: needs many reps of those as he can get. Is

73
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: getting any team reps or is it all just for

74
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: lack of a scout teamwork. He's he's getting um just

75
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: like all almost all of the guys in the back end,

76
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: they're all getting pieces of reps and you know, and

77
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: again I won't go into the details on how many,

78
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: but they're all getting um opportunities. To put it that way,

79
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 1: he fully don't be enough to play with if he

80
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: were to play and we've done um, I think that

81
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 1: will be determined next week when when it's time to

82
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: make a decision. Um. You know Buck, just my history

83
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 1: with Buck, the things that I know for certain about him.

84
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 1: He loves football, plays fast. Um. He's a guy that

85
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 1: was always much more physical than the frame in the

86
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: statue of the guy. Um, you know him and Um,

87
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: you know he's a guy that that that's really what

88
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,840
Speaker 1: sticks out to me. And I think just getting him

89
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: out here the last couple of days, getting back in

90
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 1: our system and our scheme, you know, we're able to

91
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,039
Speaker 1: have some of the conversations of reflecting back to Arizona

92
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 1: and some of the things we did. So, UM, you know,

93
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 1: he's working hard and he wants to try to earn

94
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: some time. Pat saidgest to me. You know, the plan

95
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:46,840
Speaker 1: was to get him up to speeds that I need

96
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: can be ready to go in Detroit. How how did

97
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 1: that look the first two days? Yeah, and you know

98
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 1: it's progressing that way. And um, I think the plan

99
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 1: of how much and what and if he'll play that

100
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: will kind of reveal itself on game day. But um,

101
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 1: he's working his tail off. He's doing in terms of

102
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 1: that stuff, He's working just like the guy I know

103
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 1: that position in general. I mean, you know, since you

104
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 1: came here last year, you talked about that money back

105
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 1: or spot. But it seems like you guys maybe when

106
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,280
Speaker 1: you were in Arizona were ahead of the carve a

107
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: little bit. I mean it was Buck and then Mark Baron.

108
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 1: I think at the time that DBS down that spot.

109
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,159
Speaker 1: With the evolution, I mean, is that almost a necessity

110
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 1: now to have guys like that in those spots that

111
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:33,720
Speaker 1: that can you know, match up in this league. I

112
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 1: think that the game has become enough um you know,

113
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: I don't want to say the college words spread, but

114
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: horizontal where people space you out and even bigger personnel groupings. Um.

115
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 1: You saw Arizona try to do it one time. They

116
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: had three tight ends in the game and they had empty.

117
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,039
Speaker 1: I think that a penalty and digging it run what

118
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 1: they wanted. But they went three tight ends and went empty.

119
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 1: And then that's that's the game. The game is big

120
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 1: people to go smaller looks in space, people out. I

121
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,720
Speaker 1: think that there's there there is a lot of value

122
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 1: and guys that can tackle in space. And whether that's

123
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,039
Speaker 1: a safety of tackles in space or linebacker the tackles

124
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 1: in space who you know, whoever he is. I think

125
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:15,040
Speaker 1: that's a certain necessity because of the game. Then from

126
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: a matchup standpoint, Um, when things become horizontal, even if

127
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,559
Speaker 1: you're playing zone defenses, you have to tackle in space

128
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,600
Speaker 1: and you have to play manipulate your body in space

129
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 1: to play the zones in space. Um, So it goes

130
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 1: hand in hand with whether you're matching up in man

131
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,840
Speaker 1: or playing zone defenses. In a conscious decision when you

132
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 1: put that position on the board, I mean it was

133
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 1: that something that was in the defense when you got there. Yeah,

134
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,719
Speaker 1: why you decided to do it? I think for the

135
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 1: reasons that you said specifically, for the reasons you said, ye,

136
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 1: I think Buck was a guy that we felt could

137
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 1: do it. Um. I think because he has um a

138
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 1: physical nous to the way he plays the game, and

139
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 1: I think you have to have that component, I think

140
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: for that guy, because he still has to go down

141
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 1: and fit the run game and play tough and play

142
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: strong and um. But I think certainly was some of

143
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 1: the thoughts that we had in Arizona. Thank you. Some

144
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: more we've just seen from d J. Hills. Um, I

145
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 1: think we've seen some really good snaps and I think

146
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 1: we've seen um, just like the other guys at the

147
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 1: position interior wise, saw some really good snaps. I think

148
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 1: we've seen some snaps that he'd really like himself to

149
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 1: play better, and UM, we're all in on working on

150
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 1: getting those other snaps out of his game, just like

151
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 1: the other guys. Does he need it? Do you want

152
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 1: him that as may splays plays and maybe you know,

153
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 1: sacks and tackles for a lossity as he had last year,

154
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 1: or can he have a successful game, successful season without well.

155
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 1: I think UM disruptive plays, whether they're UM plays that

156
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 1: you see show up in a statuet or not. UM.

157
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 1: I think disruptive players are really what defined players in

158
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: this league. You know, whether you're changing the math or

159
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 1: whether you're guys back, whether you're displaying offensive lineman. You

160
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: know whether you're on the second level setting a setting

161
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 1: a tight edge and knocking the ball back to the

162
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 1: rest of the defense, or on the second level seeing

163
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 1: poles and fitting fast and disrupting the run game. UM.

164
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: I think that's really what defines players. And again sometimes

165
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: and I want to be clear on that when I

166
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: say that is it's not always a TfL, it's not

167
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 1: always a sack. It's the other things that go on

168
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 1: with it. Can you can see an up of those

169
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: from b J. I think there's again there's some plays

170
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,839
Speaker 1: that he's UM done, some really good things. I think

171
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 1: there's some place that you know him and I both

172
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: want him to play better
