1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,640 Speaker 1: What would you see from Russ after watching back the team? Yeah, 2 00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:04,960 Speaker 1: I thought the unit as a whole, you know, just 3 00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:06,880 Speaker 1: you know, really just kind of choppy, you know. I 4 00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:09,360 Speaker 1: think we will continue to grow and get better with 5 00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:11,840 Speaker 1: it as we work as a unit. But I mean, 6 00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:13,159 Speaker 1: I think there's a lot to look forward to, and 7 00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:15,040 Speaker 1: we had a great week of practice and so we're 8 00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:20,280 Speaker 1: really focused on that right now. With the run game, 9 00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:21,800 Speaker 1: just what did you see about it just not being 10 00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:23,800 Speaker 1: as as effective as you wanted it to be. Yeah, 11 00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:25,560 Speaker 1: we just missed. We missed on a few things, whether 12 00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:27,680 Speaker 1: it was a block here or a read key here, 13 00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,000 Speaker 1: you know, certain times of calling it. So really just 14 00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:33,680 Speaker 1: everybody just kind of getting back on the same page. 15 00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:35,800 Speaker 1: And that's what we focused on this week in our 16 00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:38,639 Speaker 1: run game meetings or pass game pods, just working through 17 00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:40,720 Speaker 1: those details and making sure we're all straight on the 18 00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:41,479 Speaker 1: on the execution. 19 00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:47,320 Speaker 2: Martt that that would be Russ's career is he's mostly 20 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:50,600 Speaker 2: a good play action quarterback. How much did not being 21 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:52,880 Speaker 2: able to establish the run like that take away from 22 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 2: what you wanted to do with Russ? 23 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean there's that's that's a that's a great question. There' 24 00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:58,880 Speaker 1: certain elements of that that show up in the game. 25 00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 1: You know, things kind of declare. So if you obviously 26 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,160 Speaker 1: want to be able to be multi dimensional on offense 27 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:06,000 Speaker 1: and be able to run the football, attack the inside, 28 00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,760 Speaker 1: the outside, downfield, make them defend the entire you know, 29 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:11,440 Speaker 1: with the depth of the field. So when you kind 30 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,160 Speaker 1: of get out of those certain situations, it's it's tough. 31 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:15,959 Speaker 1: And so we got to do a better job on 32 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:17,679 Speaker 1: first and second down. You do a better job early 33 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 1: in the game with getting new a rhythm and getting 34 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:20,119 Speaker 1: our guys going. 35 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 2: Along with that. You know, Russ has the long history 36 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 2: of throwing the moon ball, the deep pass. 37 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 1: I think statistically, I think there was. 38 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,840 Speaker 2: Only one block thrown more than twenty yards now in 39 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,920 Speaker 2: the field. Was that more just about the situation? Was 40 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 2: that about not having time for him to do that? 41 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 1: I don't know about that. I felt like we had 42 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,319 Speaker 1: a few more opportunities than that than the one. But yeah, 43 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 1: it's part of the game. If you have a matchup. 44 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 1: You know, our guys, we've been preaching it all season. 45 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 1: Let's take a matchup down the field, you know, and 46 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,919 Speaker 1: so we we like our receivers, we like our ability 47 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 1: to block up front, we like our backs. So if 48 00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 1: we have matchups across the board, sure we're going to 49 00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 1: be aggressive. 50 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 2: Like what happened in the red z I think it 51 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 2: was especially the low red zone. I mean I think 52 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 2: if my math was right, you passed it twelve of 53 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 2: thirteen times in the red zone. Obviously not didn't work out. 54 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 2: So what happened you get away from what you wanted 55 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 2: to do down there? 56 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:16,639 Speaker 1: No, I think we had We had a really good 57 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:18,960 Speaker 1: plan going into it, just didn't really get, you know, 58 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:20,840 Speaker 1: get the execution we needed. They had a couple of 59 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:22,679 Speaker 1: good change ups on defense, they did a nice chap, 60 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 1: So I think those are great learning experiences. You know, 61 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,079 Speaker 1: we have a bunch of stuff on the plan, and 62 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,680 Speaker 1: you know, today's a red zone third down day as well, 63 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 1: so we'll go work those. What was the dart process 64 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 1: of the first red zone play around the plate above? 65 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 2: What was the dart process behind that? It did something 66 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 2: you were. 67 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I know, you look at it when you 68 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,119 Speaker 1: when you started evaluating evaluating the tape and you see 69 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 1: a you know, maybe there was an alignment that we 70 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 1: thought we could take advantage of. And you know, things 71 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 1: in the first game of the year, there's a little 72 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 1: bit of you know, they could adjust this way. You know, 73 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:53,919 Speaker 1: we thought we had a good look and a good play, 74 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 1: and so we we went and called it and we're 75 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,919 Speaker 1: trying to be aggressive with it. It didn't work out. 76 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,519 Speaker 1: You know, first out call. You have the ability to 77 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,519 Speaker 1: to use those type of calls because really the defense 78 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,800 Speaker 1: doesn't know you run it? Are you throwing it? They 79 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 1: played it. They did a nice job playing it, So 80 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 1: hats off to them. But yeah, we're gonna continue to 81 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 1: be aggressive, try and be as creative as we can 82 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:12,360 Speaker 1: to score points. 83 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 2: How different did their defense look in week one without 84 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 2: Micah Parsons from the one you saw for three years. 85 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 1: Listen, this is a really talented team. I mean, I 86 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 1: know Mike is a heck of a player. This team 87 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 1: is stacked across the board up front, those two interior guys, 88 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 1: they can get after it, you know, Clark and I mean, 89 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 1: this is a good defense, and it's well coached. Flus 90 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 1: does a great job of getting these guys and different 91 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 1: types of coverages, different types of zone coverages, pressures, and 92 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 1: we have a long history, you know, going against Hi 93 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 1: when he was an indie in Chicago. So these guys 94 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 1: are gonna be right wrong. So we gotta get our 95 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 1: stuff right and cleaned up, and that's why we were practicing. 96 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 1: I'm looking forward today. 97 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 2: There you go, ron Land might not I think they 98 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 2: said might not be out. Does that change anything you're at. 99 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 1: We'll just continue to monitor it. Obviously, you don't know, 100 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 1: you know, that's I don't know what I heard the 101 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 1: report to. But we'll just monitor and see what what 102 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 1: that looks like come game day. Last one, well, we'll 103 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 1: take both heavy. Kenny Clark. Just talk about the problems 104 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,360 Speaker 1: that he presents. Yeah, I mean obviously in Green Bay 105 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 1: facing them the last few years, he's a problem. He's 106 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 1: a good player, so we have to make sure we 107 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,840 Speaker 1: know where he's out in each play, and I know, 108 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 1: getting inserted into the scheme. I'm sure there'll be some 109 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,480 Speaker 1: carry over from the stuff that he did in Green Bay, 110 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 1: but he's act of the player, is a great motor. 111 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,599 Speaker 1: This guy plays his butt off, and yeah, it would 112 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 1: be a great challenge. 113 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 2: I did some day ago just from being on the sidelines. 114 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 1: Obviously you're doing now preseason, but just in regular season. Yeah, 115 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:41,039 Speaker 1: I thought it was smooth. I think we were able 116 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 1: to communicate with the players, make some adjustments. You know, 117 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,479 Speaker 1: you know up until that that last drive. Really you know, 118 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,479 Speaker 1: it's an eight point game, you know, so we're just 119 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 1: really right there. Just couldn't get enough going early. But 120 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,359 Speaker 1: I think we'll change that. We'll change the times. You know, 121 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,040 Speaker 1: we had a good week of practice. Yesterday, a good 122 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 1: walk through. The guys are detailed, they're into it, and 123 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,360 Speaker 1: so I got a lot of optimism and I'm really 124 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 1: excited about today. This is gonna be a great day 125 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,279 Speaker 1: in terms of our red zone, our third downs, like 126 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,479 Speaker 1: those are critical situations that we got to knock out. 127 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 1: And you know, the guys had a great meeting, so 128 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:11,719 Speaker 1: you know, we'll go put it, go get the corrections, 129 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 1: and come tomorrow when we look at some more situations 130 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 1: like just keep on stacking those days. I think that's 131 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,240 Speaker 1: been kind of the mantra in our room as an 132 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 1: offensive unit, is we have a good day or we 133 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 1: have an issue, let's get that thing fixed, and then 134 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,360 Speaker 1: let's come stack it and continue to be positive and 135 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 1: get better.
