1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,080
Speaker 1: Hey, coach had, I hope you're doing well. Just um,

2
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:05,200
Speaker 1: could you talk a little bit about how well the

3
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 1: offensive line is playing. It seems like every week they've

4
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:10,680
Speaker 1: gotten better in terms of past protection. Then obviously in

5
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 1: the run game, yeah, they've they've done a great job,

6
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 1: you know. And and it hasn't been easy obviously, been

7
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:19,079
Speaker 1: Barts going down with injury and and Chat coming in

8
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 1: and filling in that spot and kind of changes that

9
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:24,280
Speaker 1: dynamics of things. But you know, SHOT's the guy that's

10
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 1: been around here, has great chemistry with everybody plays next

11
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 1: to um and it's really all those guys just getting

12
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 1: on the same page. Like when when we all know

13
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:34,160
Speaker 1: what we're doing, where we're going to, who we're going

14
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,519
Speaker 1: to um and communicate really well, which they've done, it

15
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 1: gives us the best chance for success. And and and

16
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:41,920
Speaker 1: it's not just them, you know, it's the it's the

17
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 1: quarterback playing on time, the receiver's being where they're supposed

18
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:46,279
Speaker 1: to be when they're supposed to be there, and then

19
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 1: the backs identifying things as well that you know, they're

20
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 1: a big part of our past protection as well as

21
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:52,880
Speaker 1: the tight ends and then the skill players being open

22
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 1: when we are throwing the ball on the right timing,

23
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 1: staying in favorable situations for us. All of it plays

24
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: together to to allow us to have that kind success.

25
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: And then just you know, this week, obviously going up

26
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 1: against you know, Chris Jones and and guys like that,

27
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: how tough of the challenge is it going to be

28
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 1: for the offensive line and and the Ovens in general

29
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:14,320
Speaker 1: going up against this defensive line. Yeah, I mean, honestly,

30
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 1: it feels like every single week there's somebody on the

31
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,039
Speaker 1: defensive line. If not one guy, there's two guys that

32
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 1: you know, you're aware of that. We know our impact players,

33
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,759
Speaker 1: and Chris Jones is certainly that type of guy um

34
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: and he plays all over the line for them. So

35
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,320
Speaker 1: it's a matter of identifying where he is, making sure

36
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 1: we're in favorable situations. You know, you can't get yourself

37
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 1: in second twelve behind the sticks whereverybody knows you're throwing

38
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 1: the football and expect to win all your one on

39
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 1: ones against him, you know, So you want to stay

40
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: on schedule, You want to stay where the whole playbooks

41
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 1: available to you. You can keep them guessing, you can

42
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 1: keep him out of pass for us situations. But he's

43
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: certainly got we have to be aware of it all times,

44
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 1: just because he is an impact player for them. Thank you.

45
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 1: I we'll go to John Shipley than Gary. Okay, press,

46
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: So if you're doing well, I saw a stat yesterday

47
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: that from I think the point of the last drive

48
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: in the first half of you guys got the ball

49
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: until the end of the game, Trevor, I did one

50
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 1: in completion. And what can you really say about his performance,

51
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,239
Speaker 1: you know, over the second half of that game, after

52
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 1: maybe a bit of a slow start. Yeah, you know,

53
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: I thought he did a great job. You know, there

54
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 1: was early on he missed a slam I think on

55
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 1: third down Um, But beyond that, I thought he did

56
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: a great job being accurate, being decisive with the football,

57
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,239
Speaker 1: Guys getting open for him. Again, that's what it comes

58
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 1: down to. You you have nowhere to throw the ball

59
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 1: if nobody can get open or you can't keep a

60
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: clean pocket. So it's really everybody playing in conjunction. Um

61
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 1: kind of has that success for the offense. But he

62
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: was definitely locked in. You know, it's one of those

63
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: things you don't really notice it. You're just continuing to

64
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 1: be efficient and effective and moving the football and by

65
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: the time you look at it, somebody points out that

66
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 1: he's hit tennant or whatever. He's hit um, And that's

67
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: what you wanted to be. You don't want it to

68
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 1: be surprised that we're throwing these completions. You want to

69
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 1: be just you call plays, they execute him, well, you

70
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 1: roll and and by the time you look up your

71
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: your numbers are productive. But we're not concerned with numbers.

72
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 1: It's it's more as an offense, we want to score points.

73
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 1: That's what we're trying to do, trying to put our

74
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: team in the best position to win the game at

75
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,079
Speaker 1: the end of the day. Duck said on Sunday that

76
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: sometimes a young quarterback needs a game like that to

77
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 1: kind of show them, Okay, what coach has been saying,

78
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: you know, is the right thing to do. Is that

79
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: kind of the same impression you get, Yeah, absolutely, And

80
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: there's been games that he's done that. You know, there's

81
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:20,959
Speaker 1: been a couple of games this year where he's he's

82
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: really kind of caught fire. He's taken what the defense

83
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: has given him and been effective in our offense. And

84
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,079
Speaker 1: then there's games he haven't performed as well. So you're

85
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: trying to eliminate the roller coaster of the season, but

86
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 1: it's gonna happen. We just want to consistency the growth

87
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: from him that he's been able to show, and as

88
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: an offense, we need to be more consistent over time.

89
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: You know. That's kind of us taking the next step

90
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 1: as an offensive unit. Thanks Press, Okay, we'll go to Gary,

91
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 1: then we'll go to jamal A Press regards to Travis, Uh,

92
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: what's the balance or what's the fine line between not

93
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: winning the curb of guys and national instincts in a

94
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: very physical game and protecting himself little bit better from

95
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 1: getting popped really hard. And if you remember back in

96
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: training camp when you've gotten patched for the first time

97
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: in Trey really popped him that one time, and and

98
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 1: and Travis got right back up and he said later

99
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 1: on that he really relished that hit. But at some point,

100
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 1: do you want him to learn to uh kind of

101
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 1: run out of bounds a little bit or or or

102
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: do you not want to just like I said, curb

103
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:28,280
Speaker 1: those instincts he's got right now? Yeah, you definitely want

104
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 1: to take don't want to take away a guy's instincts

105
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: and the way he carries a ball. And that's part

106
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 1: of the reason he's been such an explosive runner for us.

107
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,840
Speaker 1: But at the same time, we understand it's a grueling game.

108
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 1: It's a very physical game. Um, there's gonna be nix

109
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,359
Speaker 1: and bruises and so whatever we can do to help

110
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,919
Speaker 1: him learn to protect himself and all those situations. Understand

111
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,600
Speaker 1: when the down's over, when you know, maybe another HiT's

112
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 1: not necessary for a yard or whatever. That may be

113
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 1: based on the situation. But um, and that can also

114
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:57,159
Speaker 1: go with the way we manage him. You know, he

115
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,080
Speaker 1: had thirty something touch, thirty touches, thirty something touches the

116
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 1: other night. Uh, you know that long term, is that

117
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 1: the right way to handle it? Um, you know, it's

118
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: hard to say we're not gonna give one of our

119
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 1: best players the football as much as we can, but

120
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,160
Speaker 1: you know, doing it the right way, making sure that

121
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 1: he's handling things the right way. He's very professional in

122
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: his approach, does a great job with his recovery. Our sports,

123
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: our strength staff does a great job of getting all

124
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 1: these guys, and that's why I think you've seen kind

125
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 1: of the health play out throughout the year. But we're

126
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,039
Speaker 1: certainly something we're aware of and continue to coach with him,

127
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 1: and you're talking about the at bats he's getting right now,

128
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 1: is it? Is it also difficult to rein in the

129
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,479
Speaker 1: instincts of the coaching staff to to keep going to

130
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,839
Speaker 1: the hot guy. Um. I mean, I don't know that

131
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 1: you want to rain in getting away from the hot guy.

132
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: But yeah, there's certainly you know, the long term vision

133
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: of a season and the touches we envisioned in a game,

134
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 1: but ultimately comes down and doing what's best for the

135
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 1: team to win that game. And if that's you know,

136
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 1: riding the hot hand at that time, if that's spreading

137
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:57,160
Speaker 1: the ball around based on carries, touches, whatever that may be,

138
00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 1: then then that's what we're gonna do to give us

139
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 1: a chance to win the game. Okay, thanks to what's

140
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 1: a coach? Um? We talk a lot about that chief's offense.

141
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: How much pressure can that Chief's offense put on your

142
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 1: offense to kind of maximize those possessions and maybe even

143
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 1: kind of choose some clock up. Yeah, I mean, there's

144
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: there's definitely certain ways to approach it. You know, you

145
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 1: need points against these guys, their number one scoring offense.

146
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 1: We're aware of that. I think one of the biggest

147
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,159
Speaker 1: things with these guys is they're never out of the game.

148
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: So if you build a lead or you're sitting there,

149
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 1: it's not something where all right, we can just run

150
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 1: some clock and and you know we're okay with three

151
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 1: and out and putting the ball as long as we

152
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:37,719
Speaker 1: take they can score in a hurry. I mean, we

153
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:39,720
Speaker 1: saw it all last year, we saw it through this

154
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 1: season so far. Obviously the playoff game last year is

155
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 1: very memorable. They had with thirteen seconds or whatever it was,

156
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:46,840
Speaker 1: and they were able to go down and score. So

157
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: it's it's something you can never take your foot off

158
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 1: the gas with these guys and the offensive system that

159
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 1: they have because they're capable of scoring. At the same time,

160
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: we never go into a drive thinking we're not going

161
00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: to score. You know, we're always trying to score. It's

162
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: just we gotta do a great job as our offense

163
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 1: of eliminating the unforced airs that we've had. You know,

164
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 1: we've we put the ball on the ground the other day.

165
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: The one turnover was completely unforced. It's a ball handling

166
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: exchange with the quarterback running back, and you can't have

167
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 1: things like that, and that's kind of the thing that

168
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 1: I think has hindered us a little bits an offense

169
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: that we eliminate those things, we expect to continue to

170
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: climb and improve as a group. And do you see

171
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 1: Trevor getting more and more comfortable tucking and running at

172
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 1: this point in the season. Um, Yes, and no, I

173
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: think that's always been a little bit of him. I

174
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: think he's understood. I think it's just the way it

175
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 1: happened the other day, how it was just he didn't

176
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 1: even blink, he just took off. You know, he saw

177
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: an opening in the defense, understood the situation, took off.

178
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: That's something certainly he's got. He's he's a great athlete. UM.

179
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: And so getting him out in space, letting him run,

180
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 1: use his speed, UM, that's something that definitely benefits us.

181
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 1: If he's able to create with his legs, and whether

182
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 1: it's first down, second down, or even third down, it's

183
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 1: a huge advantage for us. Appreciated coach
