Within that group, a group that can do 40 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 2: a combination different things, whether that's playing our early down. 41 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:56,920 Speaker 2: I think Ellis has done a good job of his 42 00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 2: third down role and obviously he'll see see more early 43 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:01,560 Speaker 2: down snaps I. 44 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 1: Think for him. 45 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 2: So just really a group that that can work together 46 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 2: and handle all those snaps. 47 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 1: You know this system lady early down and possibility. 48 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:19,360 Speaker 2: For the playing down, he'll definitely have an opportunity. I 49 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,239 Speaker 2: think he's done a really good job in his role 50 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 2: with our special teams. He's done a really good good 51 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 2: job on third down four US and we can see 52 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,919 Speaker 2: if we can spand that role on early downs. 53 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 1: On third downs, it seems like he's gonna used a 54 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 1: lot of Blitzer. 55 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 2: What was the moment where you guys said, hey, we 56 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 2: may have something that they misrespecting certain last year, who 57 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 2: is more exclusively a special Yeah, I mean you look 58 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 2: at last year we had Mac Wilson, you know, who 59 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 2: was in that role. As as the beginning of the 60 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 2: year we put more on his play or towards that. 61 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 2: As we got towards the middle of the season, we 62 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 2: started putting more on his play. And really you saw 63 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,839 Speaker 2: how Mac Wilson came along from as a early down 64 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 2: to a third down player. And the same thing with 65 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 2: the Christian were you know, special teams player, banked up 66 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 2: all the reps on defense. And that was the difference too, 67 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 2: where he was more of a special teams player last year, 68 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 2: focused emphasis, where this year he was in all the 69 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 2: defensive meetings, locked in, made sure he was good for 70 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,839 Speaker 2: early down, third down, all the above, and he took 71 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 2: those reps in practice an OTA's training camp, and really 72 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,519 Speaker 2: he's we talk about taking advantage of the opportunities. That's 73 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 2: what he's doing, taking advantage of opportunities which has been 74 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 2: given to him. And like, I talked to the guys 75 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 2: about being great in your role, and no role is 76 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 2: too small. So if you do great things and the 77 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 2: small things, and then you will be able to get more. 78 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 2: You've seen so far from Davon Godchab, who has to 79 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 2: be playing really well, especially last week. Yeah, he's doing 80 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 2: his job. So he's doing exactly what we asked him 81 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 2: to do. Be a good run defender, a great early 82 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 2: down player for us and be able to you know, 83 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 2: stop the run, make tackles, and anchor down the middle 84 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 2: of the defense for us. 85 00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 1: You're looking at. 86 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 2: Somebody for really down line back role or maybe thinking 87 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 2: or increasing their responsibilities in that world? 88 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 1: What are you looking for? Ask that question again, like 89 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 1: versus third down? You know, what makes somebody a good 90 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 1: fit for an early down or what? 91 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 2: What maybe do you see from them a third down 92 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 2: that suggests you here, let's try my person self. Yeah, 93 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 2: I think it goes back to the linebacker spy anyway, 94 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 2: It's about communication, all right. You're controlling the front, making 95 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,599 Speaker 2: sure you do a good job of handling, directing, traffic 96 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 2: as far as like making tight calls, adjustments, moving the 97 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 2: front all right, knowing your responsibility not only in the 98 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,600 Speaker 2: run game, but the past game. So you're you have 99 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 2: a lot of a lot of responsibilities within that. And 100 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,599 Speaker 2: then to be able to defeat blocks, you know, take 101 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 2: on blocks, defeat blocks, and make tackles. So that's really 102 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,159 Speaker 2: what it comes down to early downs. On third down, 103 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 2: it's really about either rushing or covering. You know, now 104 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:52,599 Speaker 2: you don't really have to think about you know what 105 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:56,159 Speaker 2: run formations this or you know those type of deals 106 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 2: defeating blocks and stuff like that. Third down is about 107 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,479 Speaker 2: you know, pass rush or covering that guy, doing those 108 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 2: different things in your confrontive line rules, we're still kind 109 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 2: of starting through the depth there. 110 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:10,040 Speaker 1: Or if you settle up a rotation. 111 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think those guys are bringing you know, farms 112 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,479 Speaker 2: to roy uh Dana Qualley, Like, those guys have been 113 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,280 Speaker 2: doing what we asked the dude, especially for the past 114 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,160 Speaker 2: three weeks now, So for the three weeks, and those 115 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:26,040 Speaker 2: guys are doing a good job of like helping each 116 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 2: other out and rotating in you know, briilding a salary 117 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 2: foundation within that group.
