Right, 22 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:12,480 Speaker 3: It's not just the old lie, it's just us in general. 23 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:14,319 Speaker 3: And I'm going to refer back to what I said, 24 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:18,040 Speaker 3: It's not just them, it's uh, we got to coach better. 25 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,440 Speaker 3: We got to scheme it better, got to call it better, 26 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 3: got to execute better. 27 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:24,479 Speaker 4: And I know I'm broken record, and they're a part 28 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 4: of that. 29 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,560 Speaker 3: Everybody's a part of that, just like we're all part 30 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 3: of it when it's really good, and it has been, 31 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,959 Speaker 3: and so we got to own it when it isn't. 32 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 3: Starting with me, right, That's that's where it starts. Then 33 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 3: our coaches, then how do we build it together, and 34 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:42,240 Speaker 3: then how do we get it done during the week 35 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 3: that that it shows up on Sunday. 36 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 6: What are you looking to see from Cooper Rush?

I mean, 42 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,559 Speaker 3: I don't think there was any from calls to him 43 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 3: to the you know, to the guys in the huddle 44 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 3: to on the field. 45 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 4: We just got to do it better. We got to 46 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 4: call it better. 47 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 7: What kind of feedback have you gotten meetings from players 48 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,399 Speaker 7: about you know, you've mentioned coach better, scheme it better, 49 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 7: et cetera. What's been their feedback to you in terms 50 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 7: of some of those things. 51 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 4: Well, it's been great. I mean it's you know, it's 52 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 4: what you do. It's a week to week league, right, 53 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 4: I mean, it was just a month ago. 54 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 3: You know, I don't know what we had against the Bills, 55 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 3: like the most explosive rate, whatever it was, and it 56 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 3: just feels like, you know, four weeks later, you know, 57 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 3: the sky is falling somewhere in their lives to middle 58 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 3: and we've got to get back to the things one 59 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,240 Speaker 3: that we do well and be able to execute it 60 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 3: and stack places together. We just haven't been able to 61 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 3: do that really from the beginning of the year. We 62 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 3: were explosive or we were off the field, and we've 63 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:51,799 Speaker 3: got to help our defense out. 64 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 4: I mean, we can't. 65 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,519 Speaker 3: We can't be off the field as often as we 66 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 3: as we've been, as quickly as we've been. And we're 67 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,160 Speaker 3: better than that. We're better than that. We're better coach is, 68 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:00,920 Speaker 3: we're better players. 69 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 4: We just need to go show. 70 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 5: It is the reason why you feel like there have 71 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,360 Speaker 5: there have been the stack plays and how. 72 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 3: Do you hang it out of the rut that, Yeah, 73 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,120 Speaker 3: if it was that simple, be fixed and you know 74 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 3: it's it's a little of everything. It's again, like I said, 75 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 3: it's it's really very simple. I got to call it better. 76 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:21,959 Speaker 3: We've got to scheme it better, we got to coach 77 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 3: it better, we got to execute better. It's it's never 78 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,920 Speaker 3: really usually one thing, and we're certainly capable of it. 79 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 6: I just talk about the mot working on that work. 80 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 2: How do you translate that? 81 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 3: Oh, I don't disagree with that. We're always working on 82 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 3: our fundamentals. It doesn't matter what position, because it does 83 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 3: go back to that. Okay, it goes back to everything. 84 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 3: When you when you're struggling, you go, okay, how do 85 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 3: we fix it? So that's a big word that I have. Okay, 86 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 3: where does it start? Okay, it starts in our meeting 87 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 3: rooms upstairs, the meeting rooms when we put it all together. 88 00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 3: Then when we take it to the players and we 89 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 3: detail it out, are we all on the same page, 90 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 3: right of what we expect to see, what we expect 91 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 3: to see from the defense, what we expect to see 92 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 3: from our guys. And then you take it to your 93 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 3: individual drills, your fundamentals, right, the things that really are 94 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 3: the core values. 95 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 4: And it's as simple as I know. 96 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 3: He's blocking and tackling, but it's your footwork, right, It's 97 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 3: alignment assignment, your angles, your body position. 98 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:22,840 Speaker 4: Are we in a football position? All those things are 99 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 4: a big part of it. 100 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 3: So it's taken it from the meetings, big room, the 101 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,360 Speaker 3: little rooms, and on the field fundamentals and then having 102 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 3: it show up in practice, so it shows up on Sunday. 103 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:34,800 Speaker 5: I know you've said that you guys got to do 104 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 5: a lot of things better. But you use the word 105 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:38,839 Speaker 5: like you guys are in a rut right now. 106 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 9: I don't call it looking like this says you've been 107 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:42,160 Speaker 9: out here. 108 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 5: I know Lamar's not out there, but how do you 109 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 5: I guess it's toe the line of, you know, doing 110 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 5: things differently from what you've done, which has work to 111 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 5: shine something new. 112 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:55,479 Speaker 4: Well, that's all part of it. 113 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 3: And when I said a rut, I was you know, 114 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,040 Speaker 3: a rut's usually small, you know what I'm saying. And 115 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 3: I mean then maybe it's a ditch, and then maybe 116 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 3: it's a canyon. 117 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 4: But right now we consider that a run, you know, 118 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 4: and we just got to get ourselves. It doesn't take long. 119 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 3: I mean, there was there was a few opportunities come 120 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 3: Sunday that would have got you going. 121 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 4: You know, it's like, what's going to get us going? 122 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 3: What's going to be that spark, okay with all of us, 123 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 3: starting with me and then our coaching staff, and making 124 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:23,479 Speaker 3: a play that gets us going because it's in some ways, 125 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,720 Speaker 3: you know, it takes everybody. And like I said, I 126 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 3: think we're going to continue to get better with that 127 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:31,279 Speaker 3: because we're certainly capable of it. 128 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,599 Speaker 9: Derrick Henry, he obviously he takes accountable. 129 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 5: He says it. 130 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 4: You know, it starts with him as well. 131 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 1: What have you seen from Derek in the in the. 132 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 4: First five weeks. 133 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 3: Well, I like the way he's practicing, like the way 134 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 3: he's going about his business. I mean, he's been a 135 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 3: consummate pro. I think he's running hard. I just don't Again, 136 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:55,480 Speaker 3: it's a culmination of things, right, creating space, creating opportunities 137 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,279 Speaker 3: because it you know, just a few weeks ago on 138 00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 3: third and one, we had a downhill power and he 139 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:01,279 Speaker 3: went for already one on third and one, right, and 140 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 3: there you go, you know, And so sometimes it just 141 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 3: takes a play here or there and you got to 142 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:08,840 Speaker 3: get the defense worn down a little bit. You think 143 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 3: about some of the games we had last year, you know, 144 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 3: where did some of those big plays come from? And 145 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 3: we're no different than other teams, you know, where you 146 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,360 Speaker 3: see the running backs late in the game making these 147 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:19,040 Speaker 3: big runs. 148 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 4: We haven't gotten there, right. 149 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,360 Speaker 3: We did against the Bills, but other teams we haven't 150 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,920 Speaker 3: gotten there to where we've warned them down by stacking 151 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 3: plays and getting into drives. 152 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:28,920 Speaker 4: That's really a big part of it. 153 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,040 Speaker 7: The first little in game look at keithan Mitchell. 154 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 4: What did you think of what you saw? 155 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:36,920 Speaker 7: And I mean, is he still ramping up in any 156 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 7: way physically or do you feel like he's ready to 157 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 7: help you? 158 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 3: I think you'd have to ask Keaton how he is. 159 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 3: He looks good to me, just finding the opportunities. But 160 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:49,720 Speaker 3: it's we had and we are always going to have 161 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 3: for all of our players packages, right, But it's hard 162 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,479 Speaker 3: when you don't stack a number of plays together to 163 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,360 Speaker 3: really utilize whoever that is right. It doesn't matter if 164 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 3: that's Derek rerunning the ball or throwing it or Keith Mitchell. 165 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 3: It's hard to get to those when you when you 166 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:05,359 Speaker 3: don't have many plays. 167 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 4: And then we got to do better that. That's that 168 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 4: that's on us on offense. 169 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,559 Speaker 7: Kind of ticking backing off that. Like you've talked about 170 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 7: how having all these weapons is you know a good 171 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 7: problem to have pierced. Does it sometimes you're scheming it 172 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 7: up and going through the game and so forth. Does 173 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 7: it ever, sometimes become a problem because you have so 174 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 7: many guys. 175 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 3: That no, not really no, I mean no, I mean 176 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 3: we want our skill guys to want the ball. 177 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 4: They should. 178 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,320 Speaker 3: I mean, that's that's part of the position, is wanting 179 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 3: the opportunity to touch the ball and help us win. 180 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 3: I mean, that's that's really what they want. They want 181 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 3: their talent to shine, and that's how they get to 182 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 3: have their talent shine, and we just got to do 183 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 3: a better better job of getting it to them. 184 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 1: Next up, as defensive coordinator, Zach. 185 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 7: Wor So, look at this Rams offense. A lot of 186 00:07:57,840 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 7: moves there. 187 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 8: Legally or like. 188 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 10: To keep you trying to go fully down. 189 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 2: What do you think the key is to trying to. 190 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 4: Sol receee what keep it down? 191 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 11: I think they do a good job of moving them 192 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 11: around so you so it's hard to get a beat 193 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 11: on where he's gonna line at and what he's gonna do. 194 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 11: I think the key is just making sure that we're 195 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 11: lined up correctly and we got our cleats in the ground. 196 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 11: Because they do a lot of motions and shift. They 197 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 11: probably motion more than any team in National Football League. 198 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 11: So we got to make sure that we were aligned right, 199 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 11: that we're lined quickly and we're communicating on the same page. 200 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 9: We give ourselves a chance exactly. 201 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,200 Speaker 7: Okay, what was your reaction to the old way trade? 202 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 6: And you know for a pass for us that's struggle 203 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 6: to get going anyway? What does this mean for that 204 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 6: group and that task of trying to get what crush 205 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 6: when you go back? 206 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,200 Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean I think it's part of the business 207 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 11: man wished off.

So I think that we 212 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:01,960 Speaker 11: just had to find ways to degenerate pass for us, 213 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 11: even if if Doff was here man. 214 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 9: So we got to get more creative, We got to. 215 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 11: Be better putting stuff together, and we got to execute better. 216 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:10,840 Speaker 4: Guess what. 217 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:17,319 Speaker 12: The Kyle handle said, assuming health but like for and 218 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 12: loaded him ahead, and that sort of had to what 219 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 12: you can do with Kyle and what arent pace. 220 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,440 Speaker 11: Yeah, I think it definitely adds to that because obviously, 221 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,200 Speaker 11: you know, KM could play all across the secondary and 222 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,960 Speaker 11: he's very effective everywhere else, not just in the back end, 223 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:34,640 Speaker 11: but up close to the line of scrimmag So the 224 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 11: better players you're able to put back there in the 225 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,880 Speaker 11: back end definitely freeze him up.

So we need to start fast, bring the energy, 331 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 11: and get our swag back. 332 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:50,439 Speaker 9: That's what I'm looking for. 333 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 11: And no matter what the situation is, when we take 334 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,920 Speaker 11: the field, our mindset is we're gonna stop them, and 335 00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,200 Speaker 11: then if they do score, we should be mad and 336 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:02,160 Speaker 11: trying to fix what's going on so it won't happen again. 337 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,360 Speaker 11: So I'm just looking for the mindset coming in and 338 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 11: I think once that mindset is right, everything else will 339 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:09,320 Speaker 11: start start getting better. 340 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 7: You mentioned your level of swagger and showing. 341 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 5: That on the field. 342 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 13: What do you think is contributed to the lack of takeaways? 343 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 13: And you think you guys are close in that department, 344 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:21,200 Speaker 13: Like are the opportunities that have been there and you 345 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 13: just guys haven't been able to come from. 346 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 10: Yeah, I think. 347 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:27,080 Speaker 11: I think the first thing is we gotta we gotta 348 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 11: get teams into true into more true drop back situations, man, 349 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:34,520 Speaker 11: And there's definitely opportunities to get the football. My mindset 350 00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 11: and our mindset is, shoot, there's every time we just 351 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,800 Speaker 11: what fifty sixty seventy plays being played, So regardless of 352 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,720 Speaker 11: teams running the ball or throwing the ball to knock 353 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 11: the ball off of them, let's let's go make a play. 354 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 11: Let's get our hat on the football. So there's definitely opportunities. 355 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 11: Now you can do yourself, give yourself more opportunities by 356 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 11: being better on first down. That's what we got to 357 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:56,640 Speaker 11: be better on, not being in second in one to 358 00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:58,200 Speaker 11: four all the time, or when we get them in 359 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,440 Speaker 11: second and long, don't let them get the first down. 360 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 9: Let's keep them in third and long, so where where. 361 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:04,440 Speaker 11: They have to try to force the ball down the field, 362 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 11: and that leads more mistakes. So right now, we're just 363 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 11: letting offenses be too comfortable, which is our own, you know, 364 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 11: our own problem. So we got we gotta be better 365 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 11: at making offenses uncomfortable by getting stops on early downs 366 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:19,320 Speaker 11: and then forcing them to the situations where they got 367 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,720 Speaker 11: to force the ball to to to move the chains. 368 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,080 Speaker 3: Practice we watched today, it looked like you were a 369 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 3: whole lot of different drills, fast faced, moving around a 370 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 3: little different than what we generally see. 371 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 4: During and season. That is that for takeaways? 372 00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 9: Is that for or what was the mindset behind that? 373 00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:34,680 Speaker 9: The mindset was. 374 00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:38,000 Speaker 11: For takeaways and block destruction, like that's a that's that's 375 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 11: that's one of our issues we have right now is 376 00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:42,640 Speaker 11: guys are striking blocks, but we're we're staying on blocks 377 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 11: too long, like strike the guy and get rid of them. 378 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:46,680 Speaker 9: So that's what we're working on that. 379 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:49,400 Speaker 11: And then obviously we're working takeaways because that's what we 380 00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 11: need to do. We haven't had a takeaway in what 381 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:53,800 Speaker 11: three weeks something like that, so which is which is crazy? 382 00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 9: So we have to have we have to have some takeaways. 383 00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 2: John It said that he thinks the problems early last 384 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 2: year or murder to fix some un We've heard players 385 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:07,160 Speaker 2: say that they think this is close and there's just 386 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:11,280 Speaker 2: simple things. What do you see in specific that leads 387 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:15,360 Speaker 2: you to believe decisions top fix and you guys can't 388 00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:15,920 Speaker 2: break guys. 389 00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:20,000 Speaker 11: I see that guys are are in position for the 390 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:23,640 Speaker 11: most part, and it's like sometimes it's a National Football League. Man, 391 00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:26,120 Speaker 11: there's great players that we're going against, so they're gonna 392 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:29,400 Speaker 11: make their plays, there's no doubt about that. But I 393 00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:30,960 Speaker 11: think guys are in the right position now. It's just 394 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:32,680 Speaker 11: time for us to go make our plays, like pull 395 00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:35,360 Speaker 11: the trigger. Like just being where I'm supposed to be 396 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,400 Speaker 11: AT's not good enough. Like take chances. 397 00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:37,560 Speaker 9: Only. 398 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,920 Speaker 11: That's only way you gonna make plays is to take chances. Man, 399 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,320 Speaker 11: scare money doesn't make money, you know, I was told that. 400 00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:46,920 Speaker 11: So guys, we just encouraging our guys to go trust yourself. 401 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:48,720 Speaker 11: You guys know what to do. You're in the right position, 402 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,960 Speaker 11: go make the play. So I think that's that's why 403 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 11: we're so confident that we can get this thing turned around. 404 00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 11: But we got to start doing it exactly. 405 00:16:56,560 --> 00:17:00,680 Speaker 8: Obviously, the ball guy, Hendy thrust Over goals, I figure 406 00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:02,280 Speaker 8: that he probably imagine them to work. 407 00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 5: You probably imagine that some veterans and be. 408 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:06,160 Speaker 7: Around them telling them what to do. 409 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:08,440 Speaker 12: Is it is it. 410 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:11,480 Speaker 8: Harder or different to do anything different when you're looking 411 00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:14,520 Speaker 8: to take your game like this last one, And I mean, 412 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:16,240 Speaker 8: do you ever take it diferent to home with rookies 413 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,880 Speaker 8: that you know are put in really deep water. 414 00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:23,440 Speaker 11: Oh no, man, I think we we've established a relationship 415 00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:25,959 Speaker 11: with all not just me as a coach, but all 416 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:26,720 Speaker 11: the coaches here. 417 00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:26,879 Speaker 1: Man. 418 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:27,639 Speaker 9: We we're a family. 419 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:31,880 Speaker 11: So we're gonna have tough, honest conversations and we're gonna 420 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,600 Speaker 11: have tough, honest film sessions.

But if you're if you're doing. 423 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:40,600 Speaker 9: What's supposed to do, we're gonna praise it. 424 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:42,680 Speaker 11: If you're not doing what you're supposed to do, then 425 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:44,399 Speaker 11: you know we're gonna we're gonna call it out and 426 00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:47,680 Speaker 11: we're gonna correct it. And you know, the guys understand that. 427 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:50,040 Speaker 11: And in regardless of what your status are, that's that's 428 00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:53,080 Speaker 11: what we do.

We don't change our tone for anybody. 433 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,359 Speaker 11: You know, what's right is right in the football world. 434 00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:09,119 Speaker 11: Here is right and what's wrong is wrong. So we 435 00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:11,679 Speaker 11: don't treat the Rockies no different than anybody else. We 436 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,280 Speaker 11: expect them to go out there and play winning football. 437 00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:21,159 Speaker 1: Next, we heard from special teams coordinator Chris Horton. 438 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,919 Speaker 9: Good to see everyone today. What questions do you guys have? 439 00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:30,399 Speaker 10: Chris? 440 00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:34,280 Speaker 12: You saw the persons week? 441 00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 1: What did you make a man? 442 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,320 Speaker 9: You know, It's just it's exactly what I thought about, 443 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 9: you know what I said leading up to Whenever he 444 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:42,840 Speaker 9: gets his opportunity, he's going to go out through he's 445 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,159 Speaker 9: going to perform at a high level. And uh, he 446 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,160 Speaker 9: did just that and I thought, you know, I thought 447 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,280 Speaker 9: both guys did a really good job. But it's really 448 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:50,400 Speaker 9: good to see him back out there. 449 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:50,639 Speaker 10: You know. 450 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,680 Speaker 9: Uh, not only that from a kick return standpoint, but 451 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,200 Speaker 9: he plays some gunner, Uh, you know, beat a vice 452 00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:59,159 Speaker 9: got down the field. The thing with Keaton is, you know, 453 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:00,920 Speaker 9: what kind of player is? You know? He really wants 454 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 9: to be out there and he's got it. Not He's 455 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 9: got his opportunity last week, and I thought he performed well. 456 00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:07,480 Speaker 10: Chris. 457 00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:09,840 Speaker 6: How much are you looking at the weather forecast seeing Uh, 458 00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:11,960 Speaker 6: looks like it could be pretty ugly something. 459 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,040 Speaker 9: You know, That's just one of the things we definitely 460 00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:16,080 Speaker 9: look at, and I just think we got to be 461 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:18,919 Speaker 9: prepared and we'll prepare ourselves for the elements and whatever 462 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:20,600 Speaker 9: they are, we got to be able. We got to 463 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:22,760 Speaker 9: be able to handle him. So we do talk about it. 464 00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 9: So whatever they are, you know, we just got to 465 00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,920 Speaker 9: be able to adjust and adapt to you know that 466 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:29,720 Speaker 9: that type of weather, and I think our guys will 467 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,280 Speaker 9: go out and and play well inact. 468 00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:35,199 Speaker 7: You know, some of those different sort of kickoffs you 469 00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:38,600 Speaker 7: guys have been trying one way or the other, potentially. 470 00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,040 Speaker 9: That could potentially have an impact on it for sure. 471 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:42,840 Speaker 9: You know, if it's a if it's a heavy win day, 472 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,320 Speaker 9: depending on where that wins coming from, right, you still 473 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 9: got to get that ball inside the twenty. So just 474 00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:49,520 Speaker 9: trying a couple of different kicks that definitely could have 475 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:51,960 Speaker 9: an impact on the day. 476 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,560 Speaker 13: I forget which coach said it that I leave he 477 00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,639 Speaker 13: applied that the dynamic kickoff and what is expected to 478 00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:03,080 Speaker 13: kick on moneys the knucklers and getting the way of 479 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:07,119 Speaker 13: the normal field goal stroke which hurts his own kickers accuracy. 480 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:09,639 Speaker 13: Is that something you guys have to be vigiling about. 481 00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:12,359 Speaker 9: Yeah, I think that's something that you have to have 482 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:14,600 Speaker 9: in the back of your mind, right. But I think 483 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:17,080 Speaker 9: these guys many they kick off so much and they're 484 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:19,959 Speaker 9: so good at what they do. Obviously, if you're if 485 00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:22,240 Speaker 9: you're gonna hit a bunch of knuckleballs, it's changing how 486 00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:24,399 Speaker 9: you go foot the ball on the ball. So then 487 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:26,359 Speaker 9: when that, if that's all you're doing that's leading up 488 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 9: to the field goals and things like that, you're probably 489 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:30,840 Speaker 9: not getting as much foot the ball that you would 490 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:32,800 Speaker 9: usually get, So that could have a little bit of 491 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,040 Speaker 9: impact on it. But I think for us man we 492 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,399 Speaker 9: do such a good job just changing it up, and 493 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,240 Speaker 9: that's not solely what we're relying on. You know, we're 494 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,000 Speaker 9: allowing on a couple of different kicks as well. 495 00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:43,280 Speaker 14: Chris. 496 00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:46,679 Speaker 15: We were the teaching points for some of the younger guys, especially, 497 00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:47,200 Speaker 15: I guess. 498 00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,159 Speaker 2: They the penalty where you know, he went out. 499 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,720 Speaker 15: Of bounds that knocked out Jordan Stout something he had 500 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 15: like a sixty two yard finding, then you had to 501 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 15: retry one that was much shorter. 502 00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:58,639 Speaker 9: It's something that we talk about as soon as you know, 503 00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:00,919 Speaker 9: when what our guys w second they get in here, 504 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,520 Speaker 9: we go through just really all the new rules that 505 00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:05,440 Speaker 9: are going to come up, you know, throughout the course 506 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:07,240 Speaker 9: of the season. And then one of the things for 507 00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:09,720 Speaker 9: the gunners, you know, we make sure we constantly harpoint. 508 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:11,479 Speaker 9: You can't go out of bounce on your own, right, 509 00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:14,160 Speaker 9: even when you think you're contacted. Just probably a little 510 00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,879 Speaker 9: bit of a technique issue, but you know, that changed 511 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,600 Speaker 9: the course of field position, right, And so any little 512 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:22,200 Speaker 9: thing like that we want to try to avoid as 513 00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 9: much as possible, and we're good enough to get that done. 514 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:27,320 Speaker 9: But on the on the second part, you know, we 515 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:29,159 Speaker 9: had to repunt. We had a good punt, we had 516 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:32,600 Speaker 9: great coverage. You know, I think we're good enough to 517 00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:34,399 Speaker 9: go out there and just really hit another good punt, 518 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:36,480 Speaker 9: and we didn't get that, So that really changed the 519 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:37,119 Speaker 9: field position. 520 00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 14: Football fans know that traditions matter.
