1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: Hi, Josh, how you doing, Jim, How are you good? Thanks?

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:05,720
Speaker 1: So I know your your focus is on the Bills,

3
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:08,479
Speaker 1: but I just needed to ask if, um, if you've

4
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 1: heard from anyone about some about any vacancies that are

5
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:12,880
Speaker 1: out there, and it is being a head coach against

6
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:16,920
Speaker 1: one of your goals. I know nothing about that, UM,

7
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:20,280
Speaker 1: and I'm like the same as I've said in the past,

8
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:23,600
Speaker 1: if that's in the cards for me, great, but I

9
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 1: am totally focused and immersed in the preparation for the

10
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:34,160
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. Thanks jos yep. My next question Chris Ryan,

11
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:38,840
Speaker 1: followed by Tyler Bronsky. Hey, Josh, are you good, Chris?

12
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 1: How are you doing awesome? Um? When preparing you know,

13
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: a game plan, what is the balance that you need

14
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,519
Speaker 1: to find between kind of dictating what you want to

15
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 1: do and you know, reacting to what you may see

16
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: from from the opposition, a dictation versus reaction, Like, how

17
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 1: do you kind of find that that line when you're

18
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 1: putting you together game plan? Oh? You always, um, you

19
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:07,319
Speaker 1: know you want to try to put together the best

20
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:09,960
Speaker 1: plan you can for the players that are going to

21
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 1: be available for you against the scheme you're going to see. UM, understanding.

22
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: You don't ever know exactly what they're gonna do on defense.

23
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 1: You have a good idea, but you won't ever be

24
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: able to you know, guarantee that. So you know, you

25
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:28,319
Speaker 1: want to try to put together, you know, the best

26
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: thoughts you can that give you an opportunity to try

27
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: to be aggressive. And and I don't necessarily use the

28
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 1: word dictate because you know, like I said, they always

29
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,040
Speaker 1: get to say, you know, the defense gets to say

30
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 1: and what happens too, so we can try to do

31
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: whatever it is we want to do. There's always something

32
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 1: that they might be able to do on defense that

33
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: they could take that away, and then we have to

34
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 1: react accordingly. So no matter what we do, we have

35
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 1: to be able to react, follow our rules and respond

36
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: to the look that the defense gives us. There it's

37
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: a blitz, a coverage, a different front adjustment, whatever that

38
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: might be. That's why there's so much communication that happens

39
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 1: pre snap in the game of football because regardless of

40
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: what you thought you were going to get, the other team,

41
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 1: you know, could there's so many variables that could change.

42
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: And that's why we spend so much time talking about,

43
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,079
Speaker 1: you know, our rules and communicating and talking with one

44
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,519
Speaker 1: another so that we're able to work together on every

45
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:28,239
Speaker 1: play once the ball snap. And what stood out to

46
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: you about the diversity of your running attack and the

47
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 1: types of different things the Damien, Remandree and Brandon bringing

48
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 1: house significant. Do you feel that'll be on Saturday? Well,

49
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 1: we always try to. You know, we we have a

50
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: fairly broad, you know, foundation of runs that we're that

51
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: we start back in the spring and you know, try

52
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: to get good at multiple things so that we're not

53
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: just one dimensional in terms of you know, being a

54
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 1: zone run team or a gap run team or a

55
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 1: toss team or whatever. We try to be able to

56
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: function in a lot of different areas of the running game,

57
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: and different teams require you to do different things in

58
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: the scheme to try to have success based on the

59
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 1: way they play, whether they're a penetrating front or a

60
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: two gap front, or you know they play a three

61
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: to four or two linebackers on the line of scrimmage,

62
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,359
Speaker 1: whatever it might be. And you have to be able

63
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 1: to change gears pretty quickly in this league or else,

64
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 1: you know, somebody can really kind of checkmate you. So

65
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 1: you know, we've tried to do the best we can

66
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 1: week to week. It's not always perfect. We certainly make mistakes,

67
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 1: but our running game, I think, for the most part,

68
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: has been fairly effective. And we know at this time

69
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: of the year, you know, it doesn't matter what the

70
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: weather is, doesn't matter who the opponent is. You know,

71
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: being able to run to football, being able to stop

72
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: to run, you know, being able to cover kicks. This

73
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: is a team goal in terms of our overall toughness

74
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: and physicality is an important part of winning at this

75
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 1: time of the year or so. You know, we're hard

76
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: at work right now trying to put together the best

77
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: playing we can and hopefully we have a good week

78
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: of practice and preparation so we can go out there

79
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: and then play fast and aggressive on Saturday night. Thanks

80
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: appreciate it. You got it, Chris, Thank you. The next

81
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 1: question Tyler Bronski, followed by Mark Daniels. Hey, Josh, how

82
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: are you good? Tyler? How are you doing doing well? Thanks? So,

83
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: I was curious Max said after his performance on Sunday

84
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 1: that he felt personally super embarrassed, and I was curious,

85
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: what do you think is the attitude he should take

86
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: after that type of performance? Is that the type of

87
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: feeling he should have? It is he being a little

88
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,039
Speaker 1: too hard on himself? What do you think is the

89
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: right approach after performances like that? Yeah, I mean, I

90
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,919
Speaker 1: think each person has a right to feel however they feel,

91
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,840
Speaker 1: you know, to me personally, I'm never embarrassed in the

92
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:56,279
Speaker 1: effort that our players give. You know, they always compete

93
00:04:56,320 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: to the end, and and look, we make mistakes. We're human. Um,

94
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: we don't always do things perfect. But I thought we

95
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: tried to fight back in the game and play as

96
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: hard as we could to try to win, and Mac

97
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: had a lot to do with that. So, um, you know,

98
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: every opportunity that I've had with Mac Jones this year

99
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 1: has been an opportunity to learn and improve. Whether we win, lose,

100
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 1: make a mistake, do something well, have a good practice,

101
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 1: have a practice. It isn't perfect, you know, just try

102
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 1: to use those opportunities to make him better. He does

103
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 1: the same thing. He's a very good learner and a

104
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 1: great listener, and he's adamated about trying to be his best.

105
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 1: So that's all we can ask for from our players.

106
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 1: I think our group does a great job of trying

107
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: to improve each week, each day, and we're certainly going

108
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: to try to do that this week against the best

109
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 1: team we've played all year. Thanks Josh appreciated. Yep. My

110
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 1: next question Mark Dannons Fallabi Bob. So see, Josh will

111
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 1: be doing well. When when it comes to Mac, um,

112
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 1: you know, throughout this first year, what are you most

113
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: pleased with interesting terms of his development? It just continues

114
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 1: to work at everything. Um. You know, I don't think

115
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 1: there's one area where I could say or that was

116
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 1: the biggest area of growth or improvement. I think Mac.

117
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 1: Mac takes in a lot of information and depending on

118
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:22,600
Speaker 1: the player, sometimes you have to maybe address one thing

119
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 1: or two things at a time and then that's it

120
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 1: and then kind of go to the next thing. But

121
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: you know, Mac is a guy that you know, if

122
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,720
Speaker 1: you give him five or six things that we need

123
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: to try to work on to try to tweak and improve,

124
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: he really takes all those things and try tries to

125
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 1: do the best he can with the practice time we

126
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 1: have and in what we've asked of him. So you know,

127
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:47,840
Speaker 1: he continues to do that. That is a never ending

128
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 1: process with quarterbacks and we try to do the best

129
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 1: we can to improve those areas for him, and he

130
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:58,280
Speaker 1: works really hard to trying to get better thank you.

131
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 1: M next, Christian Bob so Sell by Zar and thanks

132
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: just This is about the personnel for the Bills, and

133
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 1: specifically on the defensive line. Guy who's snapcout really increased

134
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: right around the time they played you guys at defensive tackles,

135
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 1: Harrison Phillips. I'm just curious to see if you've if

136
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: you've noticed changes in their defense up front. I mean,

137
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: he's kind of an under the radar guy. Uh and

138
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 1: and Oliver and when Loto Leley is in there. You know,

139
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: with the rest of those pieces up front, do you

140
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 1: have a formidable unit? Yep, uh, Miss, I mean obviously

141
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: it's a great defense. Um. You know, Phillips is a

142
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 1: is a He's a good football player, uses great technique. Um,

143
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 1: you know, uses his hands, extends well. Uh can get

144
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 1: off blocks, sheds plays with great effort, runs to the football,

145
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 1: makes disruptive plays. Uh sneaky, good pass rusher. Um. But

146
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 1: this is a this is a group that's got depth, Um,

147
00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: you know, inside and outside. Um. They've got edge players

148
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,239
Speaker 1: that can be very disruptive in the pass rush. They've

149
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 1: got interior guys that penetrate and create negative plays. I

150
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 1: think they're one of the top the top team in

151
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 1: the league in terms of tackles for the loss that

152
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 1: we've played, you know, So this is all all in

153
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 1: all their front four and again there's about eight or

154
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 1: nine of them that that we you know, you see

155
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 1: on film. Their front four is very disruptive and so

156
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 1: they can create problems for you without pressure, which you know,

157
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 1: if you fall behind the sticks on this team, um,

158
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 1: you you can start playing the game, you know, the

159
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 1: wrong direction, soum. We know that their front is obviously

160
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 1: a huge challenge for us. We're gonna need to do

161
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 1: a good job in the running game of denine penetration

162
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 1: and try to keep the line of scrimmage clean so

163
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 1: we can get the backs into the defense. And then

164
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 1: we've got to do a great job in pass protection

165
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 1: and using our hands, you know, and keeping them out

166
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,679
Speaker 1: of the middle of the pocket. So big challenge for us,

167
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: and I'd say the big challenge for our players is

168
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:02,199
Speaker 1: just you know, whenever you play a team with this

169
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 1: much depth, is studying all the different skill sets that

170
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,839
Speaker 1: you're going to see. And so this isn't a team

171
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,079
Speaker 1: that you're only going to see one guy at left end,

172
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 1: you know, so or one guy it knows. You know,

173
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 1: you're going to see multiple bodies in there at different

174
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: times and different downs as well. So our players are

175
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 1: going to have to be familiar with a lot of

176
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 1: different defensive linemen because they're going to have to block

177
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 1: a lot of them. Thanks josh An. Next question of

178
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 1: Evans are fall by Andrew Killian. Hey, Josh, I wanted

179
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,079
Speaker 1: to ask you about the weather on Saturday and it's

180
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,199
Speaker 1: supposed to be single digits it looks like in Buffalo

181
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:42,199
Speaker 1: and just how that changes your preparation and also, secondly,

182
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: if you did have to open up the passing game

183
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 1: on Saturday with that kind of conditions, your comfort level

184
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 1: with doing that. Yeah, I mean, look, the temperature will

185
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: be what it will be. We've certainly played and practiced

186
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 1: in cold weather. You know, maybe haven't practiced in that

187
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,079
Speaker 1: type of weather yet this year, but you know, i'd say,

188
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 1: you know, it's been below it's been below twenty degrees

189
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: at times, so, um, you know, it just it is

190
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 1: what it is. You got address appropriately for it, and

191
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,439
Speaker 1: then you go out there and coach and play, and uh,

192
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 1: you know, I don't think the temperature really has much

193
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,079
Speaker 1: to do with the passing game. Um, that would that

194
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 1: would certainly be more relative to precipitation and wind than

195
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 1: it would the degree that we're that we're dealing with.

196
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 1: So um, you know, that's just more of a mental

197
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 1: thing than anything else. Our guys are used to practicing

198
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,959
Speaker 1: and playing and whatever the conditions are up here in

199
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:41,679
Speaker 1: New England, and we're going to be ready to go

200
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 1: whatever the whatever the the Good Lord has for us

201
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 1: on Saturday night, we'll be ready to go. And again,

202
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 1: like I said, well we'll try to do the best

203
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 1: things we can to help us win the game. Do

204
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:53,839
Speaker 1: you game plan differently for that type of weather or

205
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 1: is it just kind of you know, your game plan

206
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:57,439
Speaker 1: the same way and see what you get you're talking

207
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 1: about for the temperature. Yeah, yeah, I mean I don't

208
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 1: think there's Like I said, I don't think that's really

209
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 1: a big deal, you know, I mean throwing the ball

210
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 1: or running it into cold I mean, you know, either way,

211
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 1: it is what it is. I think the other stuff

212
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 1: has more to do with whether or not it's difficult

213
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 1: to throw the ball wind or rain or you know,

214
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 1: heavy heavy snow. So you know, we'll have contingency plans

215
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 1: ready just in case something would change it the last second.

216
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 1: Because we know where we're going. You know, Buffalo sometimes

217
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 1: has a it's kind of like New England. The weather

218
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,559
Speaker 1: can change quick there, so we'll be ready to deal

219
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 1: with it the way we need to. But don't expect

220
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:36,079
Speaker 1: you know, I wouldn't expect us to change radically if

221
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 1: the temperature is the only thing we're dealing with. Thank you.

222
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:44,319
Speaker 1: Two final questions Andrew Kelhan and Rabator. Hey Johns, it's

223
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 1: good to see you. I wanted to ask you specifically

224
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,560
Speaker 1: about throwing the ball against Buffalo and I know that's

225
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:51,439
Speaker 1: only half of the offense and you guys have won

226
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,559
Speaker 1: most of these games since Sean McDermott took over, but

227
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,679
Speaker 1: just specifically, it shocked me when you only had four

228
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 1: passing touchsdowns since he got to Buffalo. And I'm wondering

229
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 1: if you could describe what makes passing against them unusually

230
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 1: difficult relative to other teams. You know you've seen almost

231
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 1: as much as them. Yeah, I would say there's a

232
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 1: lot of factors in that. Number. One, they're really well coached.

233
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 1: I think Sean and Leslie have done a tremendous job

234
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 1: ever since they've gotten there. It's a huge challenge to

235
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 1: diagnose what they're doing defensively, they have two really really

236
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 1: good safeties. Who are I mean this is you know,

237
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:34,679
Speaker 1: they're very smart, they understand the difference in terms of disguise.

238
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 1: They're in sync always with the rest of the unit.

239
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 1: They hide their intentions, and they're very disciplined, and so

240
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 1: whenever somebody's supposed to defend a deep part of the field,

241
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 1: that's what they're doing, and it's not there's very few

242
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 1: snaps where you can find somebody behind them where they

243
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 1: don't force the ball to be thrown in front of them.

244
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:57,679
Speaker 1: When you get out into the red area. You know,

245
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,839
Speaker 1: they do a really good job of mixing you know,

246
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 1: a couple of different coverage families down there, once again

247
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 1: trying to hide their intentions from you a little bit,

248
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,079
Speaker 1: but they do a good job of fortune you to

249
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 1: throw the ball in front and then they try to

250
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,080
Speaker 1: rally and tackle and they have a lot of eyes

251
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 1: on the ball. So this is a really good zone

252
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 1: football team that has increased their man and man percentage

253
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 1: as well, and plays really well and physical when they

254
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 1: play man coverage, and they have the ability to mix

255
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:29,679
Speaker 1: in pressures as well. And those safeties that I just

256
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 1: talked about are two of the bigger blitzers. So, just

257
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:38,079
Speaker 1: like I said, they don't have a bunch of mistakes

258
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 1: in coverage. They're almost always in unison and they play

259
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 1: together very well and you can find some places to

260
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 1: throw the ball, but not generally behind them, and so

261
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:49,319
Speaker 1: you got to work for it. They make you earn

262
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 1: it in the red zone. That's why they've been one

263
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 1: of the best red zone defenses for a long time,

264
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 1: as they don't give up a bunch of easy touchdowns

265
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 1: from the high red zone or the fringe. They make

266
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:00,040
Speaker 1: you drive the ball, convert first downs, get into a

267
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,079
Speaker 1: love red zone, and then they try to keep you

268
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 1: out when you get inside the five. So, um, it's

269
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 1: a big challenge. Like I said, I have a tremendous

270
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 1: amount of respect for this staff and this group of players. Um,

271
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 1: it's always a huge burden to try to figure out

272
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 1: how we can get that done. And uh, we're gonna

273
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 1: be hard at work the next few days trying to

274
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 1: get that try to crack the code. I really appreciate it,

275
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 1: Josh Yep, thanks Andrew. Last question, matms wor Josh, As

276
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 1: someone who's been involved in coaching search processes before, how

277
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: difficult is it for coordinators and assistant coaches when you

278
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 1: when you have a job to do during the playoffs,

279
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 1: to also try to put yourself into position that you're

280
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 1: prepared for in an interview. And is that is sort

281
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 1: of the timetable in the structure that these things happen

282
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 1: on in a lot of ways difficult for the assistant coaches,

283
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 1: but in some ways not advantageous for the teams either

284
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 1: who don't aren't aren't seeing maybe a coach at one

285
00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 1: hundred percent prepared And that in that situation, is that

286
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 1: is that it's a whole difficult, difficult thing for for

287
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 1: everybody involved. I wouldn't be able to speak for anybody else.

288
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 1: I could speak for myself in terms of what I've

289
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 1: done and to me, the only thing I've ever done

290
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 1: is focused on the team that we're getting ready to play. Um.

291
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 1: You know, my father and taught me well to focus

292
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 1: on where my feet are, and that's where my feet

293
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 1: are at, so, um you know, to me, the that

294
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 1: whole situation kind of takes care of itself depending on

295
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 1: what the team is and what they're looking for. Um,

296
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 1: they could look for some big presentation from here or

297
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 1: some bit bunch of big lists or what have you. Um,

298
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 1: I've kind of just focused on myself and being who

299
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 1: I am and not trying to do anything outside of

300
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 1: who I am or what I know to impress anybody, UM,

301
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 1: figuring that if that's going to be the way it'll

302
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 1: work out, then it'll work out. So, UM, you know,

303
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 1: the time of the year is is always it's a

304
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 1: it's different. UM. You know, it's not any situation for

305
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 1: anybody involved in those things. But I think the best

306
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 1: thing you can do, UM, if you're if you're involved

307
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 1: in a playoff team like we are, is put one
