1 00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:06,160 Speaker 1: Ryan, could you just you know, other than wanting your 2 00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:10,480 Speaker 1: unit to give effort all the time, what is most 3 00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:13,039 Speaker 1: important to you in terms of stressing what you want 4 00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:14,400 Speaker 1: out of your unit. 5 00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:16,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, good question. So first of all, we're going to 6 00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:19,360 Speaker 2: be kind of the overview of everything is is we 7 00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:21,840 Speaker 2: want to be attacking and aggressive in everything that we do. 8 00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:25,239 Speaker 2: How we fit the run, how we attack blocks, how 9 00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:29,920 Speaker 2: we play coverage. We want to be a forward, leaning, forward, running, 10 00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:33,600 Speaker 2: going forward defense. And you're gonna say, well, what about 11 00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:35,599 Speaker 2: in the secondary and backpedaling now of that, but when 12 00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:37,160 Speaker 2: we make our break, we're coming out of that break 13 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,680 Speaker 2: to go hit you. And so that's kind of the 14 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:42,680 Speaker 2: you know, the two things that every day that the 15 00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:46,040 Speaker 2: players come in we want to stress. There's some things 16 00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:50,360 Speaker 2: fundamental things that tackling takeaways, ball disruption in pursuit. And 17 00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,519 Speaker 2: that's what we're going to be about. Tackling takeaways, ball disruption. 18 00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 2: You know, you have to be a good tackling defense 19 00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 2: to be a good defense. Takeaways are the number one 20 00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:02,480 Speaker 2: way to limit points. Ball disruption is making the offense 21 00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:06,039 Speaker 2: play not on time. You know, we're taking away a 22 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,640 Speaker 2: running lane or making a ball balance or disrupting the 23 00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:12,880 Speaker 2: quarterback and then pursuit, you know, keeping the ball inside 24 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:16,640 Speaker 2: proper angles, you know, running and hitting, and so that's 25 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 2: what we're gonna be about. That's what we're gonna stress. 26 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 2: That will be the first thing we talk about with 27 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 2: the guys before we even start talking scheme or you know, 28 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 2: stance or anything like that. We'll start at That will 29 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:27,280 Speaker 2: be our foundation and we'll go from there. 30 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,759 Speaker 1: What made this an attractive landing spot for you. 31 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:35,119 Speaker 2: A lot of things. So really, you know, when when 32 00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,920 Speaker 2: you start looking at an opportunity, you look at the 33 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 2: people in the building, You look at the head coach. 34 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 2: Coach Peterson did not know him personally before this, but 35 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 2: you do your research and you talk to people that 36 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 2: I've worked with him. Noam was fortunate to be on 37 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 2: a staff that had a coach that had worked for 38 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 2: Coach Peterson before, and he said some unbelievable things about him. 39 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 2: And then you started around just a couple of guys 40 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 2: just you know, you want to check and it's so 41 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 2: important that you work with good people. And we're so 42 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 2: close in this thing, and we spent so many hours 43 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 2: a day away from our families with these men in here, 44 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,360 Speaker 2: and you want to be around good people. And so 45 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,680 Speaker 2: that was the first thing. And then Trent, you know, 46 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 2: you hear the same things, you know, and so you 47 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 2: start working your way down, uh, mister Khan the owner, 48 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 2: I mean, you know, what's the organization about? How is 49 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 2: the owner? And then didn't know that they built the 50 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 2: facility and then you start doing the roster research and 51 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 2: you kind of know a little bit. But then as 52 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 2: you start digging into this thing, you're like, you know what, 53 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 2: this is a great place. This is a place that 54 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 2: we want to bring our family to and be a 55 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:39,519 Speaker 2: part of. This is a place that we want to 56 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 2: help take the next step. And so, you know, when 57 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:45,800 Speaker 2: we kind of looked at the whole package and everything 58 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 2: that was going on, it was there was no doubt 59 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:48,360 Speaker 2: this is. 60 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,240 Speaker 3: Where we wanted to be in Disney World. 61 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 4: Yeah. 62 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 3: Yeah. 63 00:02:54,680 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 2: So so the first time the slip came in it 64 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 2: was denied. That's a whole nother story, but that's a 65 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,960 Speaker 2: good story. And so we decided that, you know, we 66 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 2: had a little time off and that they were going 67 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 2: through their process and interviewing and things like that, and 68 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:14,639 Speaker 2: so we took the family down. We took them down 69 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 2: to Disney World and we were on the Small World 70 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 2: and eventually the slip got granted permission for the slip, 71 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 2: and so we're sitting one and I've got our kids 72 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,360 Speaker 2: and my wife's on the other end, and we just 73 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 2: sat down on the boat and got a text from 74 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 2: coach Peterson basically said hey Ryan as coach and we 75 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 2: would like to talk to you, you know that type 76 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 2: of deal. And I looked at my wife and I'm like, 77 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 2: how long is this going to be? Like I got 78 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 2: to make a call, right, And so you don't realize 79 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 2: I was on I can't remember last time I was 80 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 2: on a Small World, but it seemed about half an 81 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 2: hour that ride and eventually got off and it worked out. 82 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 2: But yeah, so that's how it all. And then we 83 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 2: were down there and it was really easy. Came up 84 00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 2: for the interview and kind of went from there. So yeah, 85 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 2: it was pretty pretty interesting how it all worked out. 86 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 3: Who are some mentors who have really helped you get 87 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 3: to this point to view credit? 88 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, so played and worked for at Osroon. He was 89 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 2: a huge influence. Pete Jenkins defensive line coach for a 90 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:20,480 Speaker 2: long long time. I have to give credit to Pete 91 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 2: Carroll my senior year at USC, he was the head coach, 92 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 2: and then there's been coaches and players over the years 93 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 2: that you know, it can't there's so many people that 94 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,599 Speaker 2: you'd you'd want to mention one way or another, but 95 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,360 Speaker 2: have been very blessed in that have been around Monti 96 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 2: Kiffen and Norm Chow, Alex Gibbs, like all these guys 97 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 2: over the years, and just you know, when I was 98 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 2: a younger coach, I really didn't I guess understand at 99 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 2: the time I was so young kind of all the 100 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 2: knowledge that when we were at Ole mess and and 101 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 2: these guys were coming in with you know, Ojeron was 102 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 2: the head coach and that man, it was just a 103 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 2: football education, and you kind of really didn't until years 104 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,279 Speaker 2: later you went back into your notes and you're like, man, 105 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 2: that's you're very fortunate to be at a place at 106 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 2: that time. I wish we could have won a few 107 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 2: more games, but just for the football wise and football 108 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:17,679 Speaker 2: IQ is so that's kind of where the school. But really, 109 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:23,039 Speaker 2: you know, even with the Arthur Smith last year, Sean 110 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,839 Speaker 2: Payton in New Orleans, you know, you pick and and 111 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 2: you bring things that you like from everybody and learned 112 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,920 Speaker 2: a lot from those guys and and Sean was huge 113 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,920 Speaker 2: in the first opportunity and coaching in the NFL, and 114 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:42,719 Speaker 2: so I'd be remiss not to mention him. But yeah, 115 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:44,159 Speaker 2: I mean I could go on and on. There could 116 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 2: be an hour conversation, but that's kind of where the foundation. 117 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:48,840 Speaker 3: Look that you had a chance to look at the roster. 118 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 3: What are your first impressions of the players you'll be coaching. 119 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that we're talented. We've got a talented group. 120 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:59,359 Speaker 2: We've got some really good players in that. That's what 121 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:04,600 Speaker 2: was excited intracted us about the job here. But look, 122 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 2: talent only gets you so far, right, and so we're 123 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,040 Speaker 2: really excited to get to work with these guys. They 124 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 2: seem very eager. You know, you try to reach out 125 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:14,480 Speaker 2: and just introductions, Hello, how you doing, you know, introduce 126 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 2: yourself things like that, and the staff and the guys 127 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 2: are seem very eager and to get going. Obviously, a 128 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:21,599 Speaker 2: season just ended, so we you know, we need a 129 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,480 Speaker 2: break and we're just getting going here staff wise. So 130 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 2: this is a good time. But it is a really 131 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 2: good time to start building relationships, which is really huge 132 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 2: what we do right, it's about relationships and people, and 133 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:33,919 Speaker 2: so this is a great time that a couple of 134 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 2: these guys are just coming up, Hey coach, you know, 135 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 2: introduce and put a face with the name, things like that. 136 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 2: So it's been very positive. 137 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 5: Do you have any early thoughts at this point about 138 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:45,719 Speaker 5: how you would like to use Trayvon Walker? 139 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 1: Obviously he's been mostly. 140 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 5: On the edge very I think there's like maybe ten 141 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,600 Speaker 5: to a dozen plays last year where he moved inside. 142 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,040 Speaker 5: Do you do you feel like he might be best suited 143 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:02,119 Speaker 5: playing more inside or or he not really gone really 144 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:03,239 Speaker 5: thought that through yet. 145 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 2: Here's kind of our philosophy with the players is we're 146 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:09,160 Speaker 2: gonna put the player in a position that he can 147 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 2: have success first over the scheme, and so we're gonna 148 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 2: evaluate everything that he does well, and then if he 149 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 2: can rush inside, then we'll put him inside, Gene. If 150 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 2: he's more of a better outside rusher, we'll keep him outside. Yes, 151 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 2: we've evaluated those things, but ten snaps is not enough 152 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 2: to say that, yes, he can do that or he 153 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 2: can't do that, and so we'll identify that once we 154 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 2: get to OTAs and then you know, and so the 155 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 2: process is never ending, you know, and we'll put our 156 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 2: guys in the best positions for them to have success 157 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 2: and then ultimately we will have success on defense and 158 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:42,200 Speaker 2: as a team. 159 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 6: You guys just mentioned it, but how important is it 160 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 6: for you to sort of mold, not necessarily mold the 161 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 6: players to your scheam, but maybe vice versa. And how 162 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 6: much did you learn sort of from going from New 163 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 6: Orleans with those type of players and going to Atlanta 164 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 6: with a different set of players. How different is it 165 00:07:58,120 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 6: and what. 166 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 2: Can you bring here that process? It was a really 167 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 2: good process. First at collaboration with the coaches that we 168 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 2: had brought in in Atlanta, and we got in there 169 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 2: and it was one of my favorite times coaching in 170 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 2: that we threw up a template and said, hey, this 171 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 2: is kind of what's been done before, let's make it us. 172 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 2: And that's the process that we're going through right now. 173 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 2: And so all the coaches are havingn input on what 174 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 2: we're doing, and so it's all of our defense. So 175 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 2: that's a really cool process. And then we've studied the 176 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 2: roster in that we have a pretty good idea of 177 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,719 Speaker 2: where that we'll start with our players, you know, and 178 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,320 Speaker 2: some of the techniques that we would like to teach them, 179 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:39,079 Speaker 2: and then and then we'll start moving them around to 180 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,679 Speaker 2: see what else they can do well. And so there's 181 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 2: that process that we just did is we're kind of 182 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 2: doing it again. Some similarities and some differences, but the 183 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:53,679 Speaker 2: ultimate is this is going to be Jacksonville's defense. This 184 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 2: is gonna be our defense of Jacksonville. Our players, our coaches, 185 00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:00,160 Speaker 2: our staff like that type of deal, and so it's 186 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 2: not any place that anybody's been. It's a collaborate effort 187 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 2: of all of ours together, and that's what you'll see 188 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:06,960 Speaker 2: on Sundays. 189 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 6: I'm curious because everyone seems to think this defense is 190 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,360 Speaker 6: man orient and everyone talks with the man the man 191 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:15,320 Speaker 6: pressed man scheme that you deploy. Could you just walk 192 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 6: us through that it is? Is that the case or 193 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 6: what's the nuance there? 194 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 2: Well, we'd like to, as one of our coaches would 195 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 2: like to say, nothing cheap and nothing deep. And so 196 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,720 Speaker 2: when you're press, you take away the quick game and 197 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,319 Speaker 2: we like to play shell, which everybody you know, when 198 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 2: you look at us, we you know, take away the 199 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 2: deep throws. It may look man man or man ish 200 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,880 Speaker 2: at times, but sometimes there's some press bail and some 201 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 2: nuances in the coverage of that. It actually is zoned 202 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 2: with tighter coverage outside and so that's actually good that 203 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 2: you see it like that, because if we're viewed like that, 204 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 2: then we drop in the zone. It could be advantageous 205 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 2: for you know, for us on defense. So yeah, we're 206 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 2: gonna be mixing a action. We play a lot different 207 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,640 Speaker 2: coverages and and mix and matches our coverages and and 208 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 2: again that's what we did then and it may be 209 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 2: different now. And so that's what the process that we're 210 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 2: going through with the players. But we definitely we have 211 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:15,400 Speaker 2: everything in there is just what what are we going 212 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 2: to start with? We know where we're starting, what's the ending, 213 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:20,559 Speaker 2: what's it going to look like when we end? Because 214 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 2: the new coaches and the new players together and we 215 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:24,559 Speaker 2: want to do what's best for everybody. 216 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,439 Speaker 3: What does this team still mean that you see when 217 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 3: you look at what you guys are bringing and. 218 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:29,840 Speaker 5: What you want to do. 219 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, really, like we talked about in the very beginning, 220 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 2: you know, we want to be an attacking, aggressive style 221 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,080 Speaker 2: of defense that runs the ball, you know, that goes 222 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 2: and hunts the ball, you know, and just put the 223 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,400 Speaker 2: pressure on the offense. You know. That's just what that 224 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 2: that we feel that we can bring. That's just the 225 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,920 Speaker 2: style that we want to play and so we feel that, 226 00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 2: you know, when we talk to to coach Peterson and 227 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,560 Speaker 2: you know, compliments what we're doing on offense, and we 228 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,079 Speaker 2: want to be very complimentary to the other side of 229 00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 2: the ball, and you know, get them the ball as 230 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:01,960 Speaker 2: much as possible and Trevor and you know, because they've 231 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 2: got a lot of talent over there and they're very 232 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 2: good and so look, we just want to do our 233 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,080 Speaker 2: job and get the ball back to them as many 234 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 2: times as possible, and when we do that, we'll win 235 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,200 Speaker 2: a lot of games. So really that's kind of the 236 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:14,320 Speaker 2: you know, just keep giving the ball back to the 237 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,360 Speaker 2: offense and in good field positions and and it'll be 238 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:17,959 Speaker 2: good in the end. 239 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:20,600 Speaker 4: Long are you with putting together defensive staff? 240 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 2: Okay, coach put that on the time. 241 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:31,120 Speaker 1: They're getting close. 242 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's we have the pieces in place. It'll 243 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 2: be announced here uh soon. And so excited what we'll 244 00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 2: say that's excited about the guys work with some of 245 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,920 Speaker 2: them haven't worked with other coached a few and so 246 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 2: it's just it's a great group of guys that have 247 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:51,840 Speaker 2: been very close to know that first and foremost good men. Secondly, 248 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:55,199 Speaker 2: really good teachers, teachers of the game. And so when 249 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 2: you put those two things together, you know they're they're 250 00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:00,719 Speaker 2: eager and excited. We see a lot of things similarities. 251 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:04,080 Speaker 4: When you were talking to the guys and introducing yourself, 252 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,719 Speaker 4: did you get a sense from them that they are 253 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 4: eager to get back just to kind of really get 254 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 4: that taste out of their mouth after their way to 255 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 4: face kind of ended and kind of just turned the. 256 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 3: Faith on that. 257 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:16,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so, like you know, they need a break, 258 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:18,960 Speaker 2: you know, and and so that's that kind of the 259 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 2: process now. But when you talk to them, they seem 260 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 2: very eager, asking good questions and what are we going 261 00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 2: to be about and things like that, and you're kind 262 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:28,960 Speaker 2: of gearing the conversation more towards the relationship pard and 263 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 2: really breaking the ice and getting to know them than 264 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:34,080 Speaker 2: the football exits and know stuff, which we'll have plenty 265 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 2: of time to get to, you know, once OTA's and 266 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,080 Speaker 2: the guys come back around and things like that, and 267 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 2: so don't want to start with that, and and we 268 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,320 Speaker 2: have plenty of time for that later. It's more, you know, 269 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,600 Speaker 2: getting into the families and things like that where they're from, 270 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 2: and you know, talking to them really and really getting 271 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 2: to know each other. I know you're mostly focusing on 272 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,560 Speaker 2: their offense, but what'd you kind of learn just leading 273 00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:57,200 Speaker 2: up to when. 274 00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:58,200 Speaker 1: You guys faced them last year? 275 00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 2: You really about this team some of the guys at that. Yeah, 276 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 2: we'll start with the quarterback, right, I mean, guys are 277 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,720 Speaker 2: really good football player, big athletic, you make all the throws. 278 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:09,600 Speaker 2: He runs well, physical offensive line skill in the receiver position, 279 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 2: tight end runs well, the heck of a back. Now, 280 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,360 Speaker 2: a couple of backs, you know. So when you put 281 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:18,240 Speaker 2: it all together, as we were looking, that's one of 282 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:20,520 Speaker 2: the pieces and why we wanted to come down here 283 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:22,600 Speaker 2: and be a part of this is they've got some 284 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:24,559 Speaker 2: talent over there and some really good players, and so 285 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 2: we were talking about earlier, let's just give them the 286 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:28,480 Speaker 2: ball back as many times as we can. 287 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,120 Speaker 4: You mentioned teaching when putting together your staff. 288 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 3: That's one of the things a lot of your former 289 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 3: players have mentioned when talking about you. 290 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:36,600 Speaker 1: How good of a teacher you are. 291 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 6: How important does that for being a coach in the 292 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:40,680 Speaker 6: NFL these days? 293 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 2: It's very important? Right, I Mean it's you know, first 294 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:47,280 Speaker 2: of all, there's a couple it's fundamentals, right, technique and 295 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 2: then scheme, and then putting it together. And so we 296 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:54,800 Speaker 2: wanted men that are very talented in both aspects and 297 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,800 Speaker 2: bringing it together. And also part of that is the 298 00:13:57,840 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 2: relationship part, like the players got to trust and what 299 00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,560 Speaker 2: we're we're saying and teaching and coaching them like that, 300 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 2: and so a lot of these guys have background of that, 301 00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,280 Speaker 2: and so I think when our players come in, they'll 302 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:11,160 Speaker 2: be like, you know, look, this guy's done it and 303 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 2: this is our the system that how we go about 304 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:16,440 Speaker 2: and teaching things. I think they're really gonna like that 305 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 2: with all the coaches in the room. And so I 306 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 2: personally am very excited about the group of men that 307 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,600 Speaker 2: we're working with and getting them with our players and 308 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 2: starting this And the best time is on the grass 309 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 2: right with the players, and so you only can be 310 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:32,760 Speaker 2: so excited. I'd go out there right now if I could. 311 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 2: But yeah, I'm really excited about that process and can't 312 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 2: wait for that to get going. 313 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 3: In terms of getting off the field on third down, 314 00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,920 Speaker 3: what are some core principles that you believe in? 315 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, Russian coverage, right, I mean really you know, Russian coverage. 316 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,320 Speaker 2: We have to be multiple. First thing we got to 317 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 2: do is affect the quarterback in that we can't allow 318 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 2: the ball to come out of his hand quickly because 319 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:56,680 Speaker 2: then the coverage then the rush doesn't get there. So 320 00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 2: if the coverage has holes holes in it or were 321 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 2: given easy throw, then it doesn't matter who we got 322 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 2: coming off the edge, you know. And we've got a 323 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 2: couple of good edge guys here, so we've got to 324 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:09,040 Speaker 2: get the quarterback to hold it. The disguise as big. 325 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,640 Speaker 2: We have multiple packages on third down, so we change 326 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,560 Speaker 2: week to week or maybe we don't, you know, and 327 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:17,520 Speaker 2: so keep them guessing. Really big early in the game 328 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 2: is we try to go out there and they're kind 329 00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,840 Speaker 2: of trying to identify what we're doing on third down 330 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:26,680 Speaker 2: and then go from there not Hey, we're going to 331 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 2: be in this look and every single time, Hey, we 332 00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:30,960 Speaker 2: can make this throw. So we've got to be multiple 333 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,920 Speaker 2: and keep changing.
