1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,760
Speaker 1: Go ahead, Well, do you recall any kind of epiphany

2
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 1: or any moment maybe after the Houston game where you

3
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:08,399
Speaker 1: or Phil went to the offensive line and said, you

4
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:11,119
Speaker 1: guys got to play start playing better. Is it that

5
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:13,119
Speaker 1: simple or or was it just you know, said the

6
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:16,119
Speaker 1: other day they just started. There's a gradual process. I

7
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:17,439
Speaker 1: think it's a gradual process.

8
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 2: But I do I know myself as as the coach

9
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 2: standing in front of the room, you know, I do

10
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:26,440
Speaker 2: tell the guys, hey, we have to coach better, we

11
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 2: have to play better, and we're all in this together.

12
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:33,840
Speaker 2: So you know, you make those you make those sort

13
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:37,199
Speaker 2: of blanket statements to your team. But then at the

14
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 2: same time, you know, once you hit the practice field,

15
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 2: we detail things as coaches better for the guys, maybe

16
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:47,879
Speaker 2: we simplify some things, and then for them it's just repetition, right,

17
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 2: It's it's uh, the same five guys playing together, you know,

18
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 2: all season and getting getting more continuity.

19
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 1: Does anything give you, I guess, more pleasure than having

20
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 1: a couple of games where Trevor doesn't not only doesn't

21
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:01,639
Speaker 1: get sack, but doesn't get hit.

22
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,559
Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's the goal each week. But yeah,

23
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 2: I tell you that the protection has been really good

24
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 2: the last cup, bless you, the last couple of weeks.

25
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 2: And you know, our guys take a lot of pride

26
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:14,319
Speaker 2: and we we work at it. We work at it hard.

27
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:19,039
Speaker 2: You know, our coaches study our opponent and the you know,

28
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 2: the type of type of you know, blitzes and pressures

29
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 2: that they're going to bring, and then we put our

30
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 2: guys in it during the week. So it's just a

31
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:27,040
Speaker 2: credit to all the guys just working hard.

32
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:29,680
Speaker 3: Boy, And do we practice windows open?

33
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:31,960
Speaker 4: What are the chances of them playing this weekend?

34
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:36,119
Speaker 2: Good? It's you know, it just means that we've opened

35
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 2: their window and they can practice now with the team,

36
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 2: you know, and and and not on the side with

37
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 2: the trainer. So we'll see each day how they do,

38
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 2: how they you know, get back out there and and

39
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 2: do more football you know, movement, and then if it

40
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 2: looks good, great, If if not, we go another week

41
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 2: and and see see you next week.

42
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 5: In which Boy and Ben Trout could be on the

43
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 5: field together. Yes, okay, like definitively like like like moving forward, Yes,

44
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:10,239
Speaker 5: moving forward to Canada the primary linebackers.

45
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 2: Moving forward, I would say short answers, Yes, I think

46
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 2: I think two you know, you want your best eleven

47
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 2: on the field, whatever that looks like, and sometimes doesn't

48
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 2: necessarily have to be the best football player, but the

49
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 2: one that does things right the most the most. And

50
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 2: but I do still think that there's there's enough of

51
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 2: a rotational piece with those guys. I think that's one

52
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:37,519
Speaker 2: of the positions that's gotten better. You know, the last

53
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 2: couple of weeks, it has been the linebacker. I think

54
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 2: Devin in the middle has gotten gotten better. Ben trel

55
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 2: we know he's improved, and now with the additional Foyer

56
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 2: coming back, if he's if he's ready to go, I

57
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 2: think you got your combinations back that you want.

58
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 4: You've won two of your last three games. Do you

59
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 4: feel like this team's kind of turned in a corner?

60
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:55,359
Speaker 3: And how do you kind of keep it rolling?

61
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 2: You know, I do feel like the team is coming

62
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 2: together a little bit better. And that's the thing that

63
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,079
Speaker 2: that's the thing that we have to keep coming right.

64
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 2: We got to keep keep building and and and and

65
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 2: build off of, you know, build off of last week.

66
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 2: You know, what what did we do? Focusing on what

67
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:15,799
Speaker 2: what did we do well during the week, How did

68
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 2: we attack the week as coaches and players, and how

69
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:20,799
Speaker 2: did we practice and things of that nature, and then

70
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,079
Speaker 2: and then ultimately how did we play? And I think

71
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 2: I think if we find some some pieces in there

72
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 2: that that we can hang our hats on, that's what

73
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 2: you build on. And uh but yeah, you know too

74
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 2: out of the last three has been been very positive

75
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 2: and you know, we got to find a way to

76
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 2: do it again, obviously against a good team.

77
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 1: Did make any tweeks during anything like game prep, during

78
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: the week at all that that you're seeing dividends out

79
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: on the field.

80
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 2: Down not not really, I didn't, not not big wholesale changes.

81
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 2: You know, we kept the practice structure the same last week.

82
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 2: You know, there's something to just everybody together in the

83
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 2: same you know, in the same spot. But really, you know,

84
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 2: you just look a lot of times you just got

85
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 2: to roll through sleeves and go to work and you know,

86
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 2: take ownership where you can and move forward.

87
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 3: I know it's not the same circumstances, but you know,

88
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 3: a couple of years ago, you didn't mention that you

89
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 3: sort of had it a little bit of an ink

90
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 3: wing when when you were two and six, then you

91
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,719
Speaker 3: were three and seven, that you could still get back

92
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 3: in this in in the race and maybe even pull

93
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 3: it off and win the division. Any correlation with that now,

94
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 3: I mean four game deficit then with seven games left

95
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 3: versus a three game deficit now with ten games left.

96
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 2: You know, I would say this, anything's possible. But you know, listen,

97
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,479
Speaker 2: it's it's a one, one week at a time mentality,

98
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 2: as you know, And it's a it's you just try

99
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 2: to go one to oh you just try to you know,

100
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 2: try to figure out how to win a game this week.

101
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 2: But I think you can lean and look back on

102
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 2: on that time and say, hey, you know, we've been

103
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 2: here before, we know what this, we know what this

104
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 2: looks like, and you know what did we do well

105
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 2: then that that we can apply to today. Uh And

106
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 2: and you know there's a lot of ball ahead of us,

107
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 2: you know. And and yet I think each week, each

108
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,719
Speaker 2: week now becomes a little bit more important, you know,

109
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 2: for us as a as a team.

110
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 3: Does it make you does it make you feel a

111
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 3: little bit better, a little bit more I don't know,

112
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 3: not as worried, because you have a lot of core

113
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:36,039
Speaker 3: players on this team who are part of that come back.

114
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 2: Two years ago as well, you know, I mean, obviously

115
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 2: that's a positive. Guys, that have been there with us

116
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 2: and and gone through that, you know, and and and listen,

117
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 2: you're gonna have You're gonna have moments where you're gonna

118
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 2: have in this league. You know, you're gonna have a

119
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:53,359
Speaker 2: lot of a lot of a lot of highs and

120
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 2: you're gonna have some some lows. And again it's it's

121
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 2: it's what you learn from each one and and and

122
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 2: apply to this week and today, you know, and how

123
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 2: you use that, I think, you know, moving forward, and

124
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 2: lean on your leadership, lean on the guys that have

125
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,280
Speaker 2: kind of been there and done it, and and use

126
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 2: use them as sort of you know, sending the message

127
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 2: to the guys in the locker room.

128
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 4: You know, they have been on the grass.

129
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,599
Speaker 6: The last two days. But sad is for Cam and

130
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 6: Travis as far as how they're.

131
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,720
Speaker 2: Trending on their Cam's obviously in the protocol, so he

132
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 2: won't be out there. TJ's doing fine again. Day to day.

133
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 2: He'll get some work out there, not with the team

134
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 2: per se, but but you know, a little maybe a

135
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 2: little bit of individual and then work with the trainers

136
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 2: after that.

137
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 6: In the moment, and obviously a lot of this is

138
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 6: on press, but I would think it's the collective. When

139
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 6: you're calling seventeen straight run plays and now you look

140
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 6: up against your next opponent or someone who the Texans

141
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 6: were really able to run on last week, how difficult

142
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 6: is it to stay disciplined and say, you know what,

143
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 6: this is working. We have to just commit to the run.

144
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 2: You know, I think I think you one of the

145
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 2: things you have to do, anybody that's making decisions, you know,

146
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 2: in game you last week was last week. It's a

147
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 2: different set of circumstances this this this week, right, It's

148
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 2: it's a different team. It's a different structure, different players,

149
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 2: you know, and a team that, look, you know, do

150
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 2: you want to go in and establish your run game early?

151
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 2: You know, like we have? Sure? You know that that's

152
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 2: I think you know every team would say, and every

153
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 2: coach would stand up here and say, oh, let's establish

154
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 2: the run early.

155
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 4: You know.

156
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 2: I mean that that's as much of a cliche, but

157
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 2: that's the truth. Right. And so, you know, is our

158
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 2: offensive line? Are they playing well right now? I do

159
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 2: believe they are, And I think that's been a strength

160
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 2: of us, you know, the last couple of weeks. And

161
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 2: you lean on that just like you know, our quarterback's

162
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 2: been clean throwing the football too, so you lean on

163
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 2: that as well. But I think it's not until you

164
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:15,119
Speaker 2: get into the football game that you kind of figure

165
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 2: out that, Okay, this is working or this is not working,

166
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 2: and you switch gears, whatever it might be. And it

167
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 2: just so happened this past week that the run game

168
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 2: was was successful, and you just keep kind of riding

169
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 2: that hot hand.

170
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 4: I know, I don't want you to have to.

171
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:33,839
Speaker 6: Give it away, but on the headset, I mean, what

172
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 6: is for as much as much as you can share,

173
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 6: what's the conversation and like that situation where you was like,

174
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 6: all right here, we gotta.

175
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 4: Keep doing it.

176
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 2: I don't know if as much of a conversation as

177
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 2: it is just what we're seeing. You're seeing four yards,

178
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 2: six yards, twelve yards, fifteen yards a run. There's not

179
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 2: a lot of conversation that needs to take place, you

180
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying, And you're feeling the excitement of

181
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 2: the offense on the field, so quite frankly, there is

182
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:07,439
Speaker 2: no you know, there is no dialogue in those moments.

183
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 2: It's just it's just kind of what what you're seeing

184
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:13,680
Speaker 2: in game. Can takeaways, but how are they coming?

185
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 3: What do they do well on the defense to make

186
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:18,560
Speaker 3: that work one same week.

187
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, opportunistic team. I mean right place, right right time.

188
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 2: They're they're getting some batter at balls or getting some tips,

189
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 2: or getting some timely interceptions. You know. I think early

190
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 2: in the season, I think you know, Xavier was was

191
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 2: all over the place. Ball was like finding him, you know,

192
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 2: and and and that's that's how turnovers sort of come, right,

193
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 2: they come in droves like that, and this team has

194
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,719
Speaker 2: capitalized on that, and they've been able to score even

195
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 2: you know when when Love wasn't in there, you know,

196
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,679
Speaker 2: they were still finding a way. So you know, one

197
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 2: of the things we got to do is obviously take

198
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 2: care of the football. And you know we've been we've

199
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 2: been pretty good lately at that. But uh again, you

200
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,200
Speaker 2: know this is a good team, and you can't give

201
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 2: good teams more opportunities. And and then you know, we

202
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 2: just gotta we just gotta find a way to take

203
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:13,959
Speaker 2: care of the football.

204
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 3: Some short Love, I mean after the naw injury, what's

205
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:22,080
Speaker 3: been different about him to be so elevated in his play.

206
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 2: I think he's just you know, sometimes that injury kind

207
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 2: of calms a quarterback down. So he's in the pockets,

208
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 2: he's seeing the fields, getting the ball out little more

209
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 2: quick passing, the screen game, things like that, you know,

210
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 2: have have helped him. And of course they're run game,

211
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 2: you know, and and getting the ball you know, you know,

212
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 2: in Jacob's hands and and letting him go. And they

213
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 2: do a great job with shifts motions and you know

214
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 2: sort of the misdirection stuff too that you got to

215
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 2: be prepared for. And then obviously the play action pass

216
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 2: comes off that. So you're just seeing I think, uh,

217
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,959
Speaker 2: a quarterback that's kind of settled in quite frankly since

218
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 2: the injury, and he's doing a good job.

219
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,199
Speaker 5: Brian and the rest receivers are played a lot of

220
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 5: top cornerbacks this season.

221
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 1: What is it about Alexander that really stands out and kind

222
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 1: of sets.

223
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 2: On the part obviously, you know, corners of this nature,

224
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 2: you know, there's a lot of confidence in their ability

225
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 2: and and rightfully, so he's a he's a you know,

226
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:31,680
Speaker 2: he's a good corner and and you know they're they're

227
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 2: got they're guys that that they love, they love competition,

228
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 2: and they love the chippiness of what what the game brings, right,

229
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 2: and the best ones I've been around are just that way,

230
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 2: you know, and and uh, they got a swagger about him,

231
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 2: and and he's got that when you watch the film,

232
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:55,079
Speaker 2: I mean that's he's he's he's doing his part right.

233
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:59,680
Speaker 2: I mean, he's you know, this is a zone scheme team,

234
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:01,559
Speaker 2: So I on the quarterback, and you've got to be

235
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 2: smart as a quarterback. You can't stare down receivers otherwise

236
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 2: he's he's that good. He's gonna pick the ball off

237
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 2: and you know, you know, possibly return it, you know,

238
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 2: for a touchdown, which he's done. So yeah, just got

239
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 2: to be smart as an offense. A lot of respect

240
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 2: for him, you know, a lot of respect for that

241
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 2: defense and what they're doing right now. But you know,

242
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 2: he's he's really shaped himself into one of the one

243
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 2: of the best corners that we've seen in this league.

244
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 5: Well, you have a team that forces as many turnovers

245
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 5: as the Packers do. Is there a heightened emphasis on

246
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 5: that during the week or is it just you know,

247
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 5: obviously you focus on everything.

248
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 2: We focus on it every week. You know, we'll we'll

249
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:44,319
Speaker 2: we'll we spend Thursdays talking to our team offensively about it.

250
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 2: But you know, here's the stats. This is who they are,

251
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 2: and this is how they're creating him. And if we

252
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 2: show our guys how they're getting them, I think it

253
00:12:55,200 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 2: paints a brighter picture, right, And and then bottom line

254
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:02,839
Speaker 2: is we gotta we got to just take care of

255
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 2: the football offensively.

256
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 6: How do you account for all their different weapons, especially

257
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 6: knowing that tight ends have at times been the Achilles

258
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,439
Speaker 6: heel for this defense and the fact that they have

259
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 6: multiple tight ends in the receiving.

260
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:18,079
Speaker 2: Game, Yeah, they've got They've got quite a few guys

261
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 2: on offense they can get the ball to, you know,

262
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 2: and and it does make it, it does make it

263
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 2: a challenge. You know, uh, which which group you're going

264
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:28,439
Speaker 2: to try to be going to try to take away

265
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 2: you know, or at least minimize. And you know, this

266
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 2: is something that you know, you got to trust the scheme.

267
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:36,079
Speaker 2: You know, this week you have to you have to

268
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 2: put your players in situations to I think understand the

269
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 2: scheme number one. And then and then try to be

270
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:45,839
Speaker 2: successful on game day where there's maybe not a lot

271
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 2: of thinking involved, just I've got that guy you know

272
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 2: type thing. And then and then you know your pass

273
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 2: rush too, you get you gotta affect, you know, if

274
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 2: you want ball disruption and takeaways. You've got to affect

275
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 2: it with with four five guys, and and you've got

276
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 2: to be able to do that too.

277
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 3: You know.

278
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 4: And Aaron Rodgers got sat for a while before they

279
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 4: got on the field. How hard is it to remain

280
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 4: committed to that as an organization? Help Rodgers and then going.

281
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 2: To law Yeah, I mean, listen to Packers have been blessed.

282
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 2: I mean, he had like thirty plus years of two

283
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 2: guys playing quarterback. I think, I mean it's they've been blessed.

284
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 2: So you but as a as a as an organization too,

285
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 2: you're always looking into the future. So they drafted Jordan

286
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 2: Love knowing Aaron Rodgers was the starter and you're gonna

287
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 2: learn from this guy, however long it takes. They were

288
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 2: in no hurry to make a switch, you know. And

289
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 2: and it's obviously paying off for him because he he

290
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 2: got to sit and watch one of the better, if

291
00:14:56,600 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 2: not one of the best quarterbacks in modern time play

292
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 2: the game. And you know, so yeah, I mean, you know,

293
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 2: you might complain and say, well, why are we taking

294
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 2: this guy so high and why are we doing all that?

295
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 2: But now you look at him and go, pretty good

296
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 2: reason why you know, and and he's gonna sit for

297
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 2: you know, however long. So you just got to be

298
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 2: committed to it. If that if that's your plan, you

299
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 2: got to stick to it. And and then there's going

300
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 2: to come a day when when you have to make

301
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 2: the switch and the move and and you know, Jordan

302
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 2: was ready for it.

303
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 4: If you're getting a quarterback of that game or most

304
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 4: of the time, you're picking high in the draft generally,

305
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 4: so there's the pressure to play the kid. There's the pressure,

306
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 4: you know. And most of them don't have Rogers already

307
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 4: in place, you.

308
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 2: Know what I mean, such a I think that was

309
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 2: you know. Of course we weren't there, so we don't know.

310
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 2: But I think from an organizational standpoint, you got Aaron Rodgers,

311
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 2: so we can take a little bit of a risk here,

312
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 2: you know, and and and take this guy and knowing,

313
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 2: you know, probably knowing you're gonna have to answer a

314
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 2: lot of questions why you know, instead of why aren't

315
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 2: you taking a receiver? Why aren't you taking a pass rusher?

316
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 2: Why you know? I mean, all the questions we hear

317
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 2: every day, right, So it's just it's everybody has their plan.

318
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 2: They go into the draft off season with that plan.

319
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 2: Packers had it. You know, this is what we're gonna do.

320
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 2: They stuck to it and and you know it's it's

321
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 2: pain awful.

322
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 3: Okay, thanks coat, Thanks your time,
