1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:05,080
Speaker 1: Hey, good morning, Bill. Yeah, um, so obviously you guys

2
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:07,080
Speaker 1: are a game playing offensive been for a long time

3
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 1: specific to yesterday. What made running so much out of

4
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 1: eleven personnel kind of your best interest against the Steelers? Um, well,

5
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:20,040
Speaker 1: that was our main formotion group all the way along,

6
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 1: so running or passing, it was, that was the primary group.

7
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 1: We felt that was the best, best, best way for

8
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:29,319
Speaker 1: us to match up with him for thos a number

9
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 1: of reasons. There's a combination of things, but um, yeah,

10
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 1: you know, nearly all the game was in that in

11
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 1: that grouping. There were multiple combinations, but eleven personnel was

12
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:45,240
Speaker 1: the main, the main group for sure. And then Dietrich

13
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:47,560
Speaker 1: plays over eighty percent of your defensive snaps for a

14
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 1: second straight week. Obviously it's just two games, but how

15
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 1: impressive is that for a defensive lineman, particularly with some

16
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 1: of these longer drive to play that that type of number. Yeah,

17
00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 1: he why has really done a good job for us,

18
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 1: got off to a great start in the game, made

19
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 1: a couple of big stops early. Um, you know, did

20
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 1: a good job with the you know, a very mobile

21
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 1: quarterback back there with Trubisky, So I think, you know,

22
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 1: he's given us a lot of a lot of high

23
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: quality snaps both run and pass, and a high number

24
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: of snaps. Um works really hard on his conditioning and practice.

25
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: He does a lot of uh, either extra running or

26
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 1: or a lot of running during every play, finishing plays,

27
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 1: chasing the ball downfield, things like that. So Um he's

28
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:34,319
Speaker 1: he's in good condition and he's played playing wall for us.

29
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: Thank yeah, you're welcome. Our next question Chris Ryan and

30
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 1: will ask others to raiser and if you have a question,

31
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 1: Morna Bill, how are you hey? Chris Um? Just on

32
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: the Nelson Aglar catch, from a technical standpoint, what did

33
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 1: he do right there to allow him to have success?

34
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 1: Is that something that you you can coach or is

35
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: that just kind of a in need ability there to

36
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 1: to make that fight? Tech Well, we talked from a

37
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: coaching standpoint about going up and getting the ball at

38
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:10,519
Speaker 1: the high point, and they're going to be some fifty

39
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: fifty balls like that. We had one last week that

40
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 1: we lost to Tyreek Hill. I had one this week

41
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 1: that we made. They're on Witherspoon. So Nellie made a

42
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 1: great did a great job of going up and getting

43
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 1: his hands on the ball and then kind of ripping

44
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 1: it down and pulling it away. So you'd give him

45
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 1: all the credit in the world on that one. That

46
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: was a tough catch and as you said, a fifty

47
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 1: fifty ball and I came down in our favor, but

48
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,920
Speaker 1: he timed it well and went up and fought for

49
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,359
Speaker 1: it strong, kept his balance and went into the end zone.

50
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,239
Speaker 1: Was in a huge play in the game and in

51
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: a great individual effort on his part. And just in

52
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: terms of playmaking on the defensive side of the football.

53
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 1: Having watched the film, what stood out to you about

54
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:02,919
Speaker 1: that group collectively in the ability to to make plays, Uh,

55
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: particularly in the h in turning creating turnovers. Well, uh,

56
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: you come about our defense. Yes, yeah, Well we had

57
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: the we had the interception on the on the play

58
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 1: action uh kind of pop past there. Mac made a

59
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: you know, an outstanding play of dropping to his left

60
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,519
Speaker 1: to the outside and then um, you know, planting and

61
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,080
Speaker 1: coming back and and reacting very quickly to get his

62
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: hands on the ball to Mills. And then um had

63
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: our hands on a couple other balls. That was a

64
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: close play where Mills got the ball out on Johnson

65
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: the douche return, but uh, he was ruled down. So

66
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: we'll just keep working to get the ball out as

67
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: much as we can, and we had our couple last

68
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 1: week that um got the ball out but it was

69
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: out of bounds or or we were out of bounds,

70
00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: or you know whatever. It was right there by the sideline.

71
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 1: But we just got to keep keep emphasizing to get

72
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: pressure on the ball and hopefully we'll get get something

73
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 1: that we'll be able to take advantage of. Thanks, You're

74
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: welcome an expression Alex barts Fall by Nickomli. Yeah, good morning, Bill, Alex.

75
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: They so, I know you talked yesterday after the game

76
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: about the two Big three an ounce league, but they

77
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: started seven for nine on third down, finished one to six.

78
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: Haven't watched the game back. What changed in your mind

79
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: for you guys defensively? Where the third downs kind of

80
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: shifted there in the second half. Well, I want to

81
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,559
Speaker 1: say three of the third downs or third and ones.

82
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 1: So they converted those a couple of them more close.

83
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 1: One thank Harris hit for about five yards, so that

84
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: really that wasn't close. And then then they converted a

85
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: third and ten and a third and seventeen right at

86
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: the six, and both throws are outside good throws, and

87
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:04,479
Speaker 1: obviously the rush and the coverage wasn't tight enough in

88
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 1: those situations. So, um, you know, I think for the

89
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 1: most part, we and then we gave up the Uh

90
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: I believe the touchdown was on third down too, wasn't it.

91
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 1: So that was another third down conversion that we who

92
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 1: just didn't didn't execute well enough. Um. So look again, Pittsburgh,

93
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 1: give them credit. I mean, they have very good receivers. Uh,

94
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 1: they have a great back, they got a good tight end,

95
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: and they got good skill players you know, Pickens and

96
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 1: Johnson and Claypool, um firemooth, nag Harris. I mean as

97
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 1: a as a group, that's a pretty pretty good group. Um.

98
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,840
Speaker 1: You know, we got some, they got some. But the

99
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 1: short yardage is always execue the third down conversions, not

100
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:54,599
Speaker 1: always but usually because that's those are close to eighty

101
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: five percent conversions lead wide or whatever it is, it's

102
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: pretty high numbers. So, um, you know, some of a

103
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 1: lot of the third down relates the second down and

104
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 1: first down, and so doing a better job there will

105
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: help you on third down. But obviously we got to

106
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: convert on third and ten and third and seventeen. That

107
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 1: was we just got to do a better job there.

108
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: All the way around. Coaching, playing awareness, and so forth,

109
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: So that was kind of a third down story. Yeah,

110
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 1: you're welcome. Next question, Nicko Mellan, called by Andrew Kellyan. I, Bill,

111
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,919
Speaker 1: I want to ask about the fumble play you mentioned earlier,

112
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: or the overturned fumble playing the jail and Mills punch out.

113
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,040
Speaker 1: Are you happy with the way that that was officiated

114
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: with the officials letting it play out even though it

115
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: ultimately got overturned. And have you gotten communication from officials

116
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: in whether they're letting those sorts of close place run

117
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 1: more just so they don't wipe out potential returns like that. Yeah. Again,

118
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 1: I think that's probably a question that would be better

119
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 1: direct to the officiated department. UM. But yeah, again, my

120
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: general understanding on that is that they prefer to let

121
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 1: those plays play out and then knowing that they're going

122
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 1: to be reviewed. UM. We had one in preseason I

123
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 1: think it was in the first preseason game against the

124
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 1: Giants where where the ball was out, we scooped it

125
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 1: up and and um, and they ruled it down UM

126
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: and again for the same that then we had to

127
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 1: challenge the play and for the recovery and all that.

128
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 1: So I think generally, if philosophy is if the play

129
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 1: is going to be reviewed, let it play out and

130
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 1: then review it. Um, well that's right or wrong. You know,

131
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 1: it's not really my call. That's that's for the other

132
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 1: people to decide. But I think that is generally the philosophy,

133
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 1: but it all doesn't always play out that way. I

134
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 1: think that in the end, the officials got gotta call

135
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 1: what he sees on the field. But if it's a

136
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: true fifty fifty call, I guess that's the way it

137
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 1: would go. Yeah, you're welcome, next crushing and you account

138
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 1: him pell Like Karen Durkin and Bill speaking of that

139
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 1: Giants preseason game and remember asking about zero play action

140
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: passes and indicated the way the Giants are playing, which

141
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: is a high blitz game, and that was kind of

142
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 1: something you had to adjust to the playoffs. AM has

143
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: been pretty low through two games. I know each of

144
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 1: them are individually their own entity. But is there a

145
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 1: risk generally speaking of running more play action against defenses

146
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 1: that will blitz a lot working then obviously that the

147
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 1: ball quarterback turning his back to those places. Well, I mean,

148
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 1: if a team's blitzing, I don't know how much the

149
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 1: play action really affects the defense. The guys that are

150
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:55,679
Speaker 1: blitzing are gonna blitz, and generally speaking, depending on the

151
00:08:56,160 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 1: exact nature of the play, but generally speaking, are still

152
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,839
Speaker 1: involved in protection. So if there's any kind of blitz,

153
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:04,719
Speaker 1: there's no fake anyway, the back would just have to

154
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 1: go pick up his his BLITZI protection assignment. Otherwise that

155
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 1: guy is going to come free. See, there's really no fake.

156
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,319
Speaker 1: There's really no fake anyway in a situation like that,

157
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,439
Speaker 1: and the quarterback knows that, right. So once the quarterback

158
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: sees that the back isn't faking, he knows that instinctively, well,

159
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,839
Speaker 1: he knows that just fundamentally that the back has had

160
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 1: to leave the fake and go to his blitz assignment.

161
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 1: So quarterback knows that somebody forced him to do that.

162
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 1: And there's pressure coming. So I think if you're going

163
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:41,679
Speaker 1: to get a lot of blitz, and I'm not sure

164
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 1: how you know what the effect of the play action

165
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: really really is unless you're trying to bootleg and get

166
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 1: outside or something like that. Um, it's a little bit

167
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 1: same in man coverage. You know how much how much

168
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 1: real affect are you're going to get man coverage? They

169
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,559
Speaker 1: have their guys anyway, sometimes you can you know, sneak

170
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:03,959
Speaker 1: a tight end or or another player out against man

171
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:08,959
Speaker 1: coverage when they're when they're playing the run. But um, yeah,

172
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 1: I'm not saying are bad players. I'm just saying that's

173
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 1: that's kind of what you're you know, what you're weighing

174
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 1: is the how much how much extra pole are you

175
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 1: going to get from the fake versus what are you

176
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:24,079
Speaker 1: going to give up in in your protection assignments and

177
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 1: how aggressive do you want to be with your line

178
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 1: fake in the run when um, you got guys that

179
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:31,559
Speaker 1: are that are blitzing and penetrate up field, do you

180
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 1: have to pass block? So that's that's a decision you

181
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 1: have to make. And then a couple of your players, Um,

182
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 1: I think we mentioned the way that stealers were kind

183
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 1: of diving down over the middle to cut some of

184
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 1: those deeper crossing rabbits, and you guys made adjustments make

185
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 1: if it's factory talking about playing a lot of too high,

186
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:49,719
Speaker 1: I mean obviously you did a little bit of both.

187
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 1: Did you see more one or the other as a

188
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 1: game one? Well, it started out as a quarters kind

189
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 1: of game, Um, more quarters, and then they went to

190
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 1: some man to man coverage and they kind of went

191
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 1: back to the quarters. UH. And then at the end

192
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,079
Speaker 1: in the last drive that was that was basically all

193
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 1: UH man the man when they were trying to get

194
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 1: the ball back. So third down, they mixed it up

195
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 1: as they usually do UM on the shorter distances between

196
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 1: man and zone and longer distances their their zone, longer

197
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 1: yardage calls where they dropped the safeties inside. UM. So

198
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:30,679
Speaker 1: they do a good job and mixing it up. And

199
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:32,679
Speaker 1: they played a couple of different fronts against US. They

200
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 1: had their nickel front, but then they had a different

201
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: a different nickel frontal, a different personnel group. And then

202
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 1: in their in their other nickel they played Heyward's some

203
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: outside a defensive end, which they we hadn't seen that.

204
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 1: I think that was after what. That was probably an

205
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: adjustment form after what got her. And then in passing

206
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:55,439
Speaker 1: situations then they went with the two outside linebackers and

207
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 1: just played the two defensive lineman inside, which is kind

208
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 1: of theirs a higher percentage call with what, but with

209
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 1: without what. They kind of went to two different packages

210
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:11,199
Speaker 1: on that. So UM yeah, that's that's the way the

211
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 1: game played out. Coverage wise, it was a little more

212
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:17,559
Speaker 1: split safety than what they had shown last week against

213
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 1: UM Cincinnati, for sure. Yes, thanks are You're welcome. Two

214
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 1: final questions Charactery Union, Zach Cos Good morning. I care.

215
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:33,079
Speaker 1: I'm just wondering how you thought cool Strange feared in

216
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 1: the game against Cam Hayward and just in general, did

217
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:47,719
Speaker 1: you see some improvement from the offensive line? Um? Well, again, hey,

218
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:51,959
Speaker 1: we're played defensive end. Um a decent part of the game.

219
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:53,839
Speaker 1: I don't know what the exact numbers were on that,

220
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 1: but certainly more than he did in the past, and

221
00:12:56,640 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 1: more needed against Cincinnati when they were in there three

222
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:04,839
Speaker 1: down lineman Nicol he played the defensive end of the

223
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 1: tight end side and and Um and they flipped UM

224
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 1: fifty six back to the back to the week side. Uh,

225
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 1: he did play inside some. There were some matchups in there,

226
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 1: you know. Certainly it was a good test for for

227
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 1: Coal to go against the player of that quality. I

228
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 1: thought we were, we were competitive. Hayward could have you know,

229
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 1: he was disruptive, but it's I've certainly seen it worse,

230
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 1: so we'll probably take it. Um less disruptive than he

231
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:40,839
Speaker 1: was against Cincinnati a week ago, that's for sure. So

232
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 1: that was a good thing, you know, generally speaking, our

233
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 1: past protection again was it was pretty good. Um with

234
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 1: the pocket was good, death of the pocket was good.

235
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: We had a couple of plays where we got it,

236
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 1: had a holding penalty, had a couple of hits on

237
00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 1: the quarterback. But overall, I say, the pocket was was

238
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 1: pretty clean. Thank you, You're welcome. And the last question

239
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: Jacks four bill uh with timing out to feel like

240
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:17,839
Speaker 1: Damien to pick up that's plan on third downs and

241
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 1: some other passive situations, especially in terms of flip pick up. Right, Well,

242
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 1: I think TI played most all the third downs last

243
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 1: week against Miami except for maybe one or two, uh

244
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 1: answer and the two minute So right, Damien and and

245
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 1: uh Andrea did a real nice job stepping in in

246
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 1: those situations. Yesterday. Um, we got a good third down

247
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 1: conversion from um uh you know from Andre on the

248
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 1: um well it was third and six, third and seven

249
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 1: on sub run and um. But again, Pittsburgh, did you

250
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 1: know they have a they have a few couple different

251
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 1: looks on that that they mixed up there. I thought,

252
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: over all, those guys handled it well. And um, you

253
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 1: know we missed Hie, but um, both of those players

254
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 1: have some experience in the passing game. They're both good.

255
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 1: They can handle the ball, so, um, you know, we

256
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 1: were able to be able to use them and still

257
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 1: maintain some of them all you know, all the all

258
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 1: the protections that we'd use usually use in those situations

259
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 1: and have to modify anything yesterday. So that was good.

260
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 1: And when they did come I thought that, you know,

261
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 1: both backs stepped up and blocked the linebackers pretty competitively,

262
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 1: so that was good too. Thank you, thank your coach,

263
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 1: thanks everyone, Thank you
