1
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:07,040
Speaker 1: Welcome into the Ravens Press Pass Podcast. It's Friday, September nineteenth,

2
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:09,320
Speaker 1: and the Ravens just got off the field from practice.

3
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:11,960
Speaker 1: We had a chance to hear from several coaches today.

4
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:15,160
Speaker 1: First up, Offensive coordinator Todd Monkin.

5
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:19,640
Speaker 2: You're going against like going back to last game against

6
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:23,320
Speaker 2: the Browns and when their defense finality your coaches playstopping

7
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 2: your money. How much does that change with older kind

8
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 2: of what you're going at gaming?

9
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:32,559
Speaker 3: Well, I mean they're really good, and we next year

10
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 3: at a high level, didn't coach well enough, didn't play

11
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 3: well enough.

12
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 4: I mean.

13
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 3: The tape tells the story. You know, when they're going

14
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 3: to make plays on their own, we just can't add

15
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 3: to it. We got to play better. We certainly can

16
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:47,559
Speaker 3: run the ball better than that, and we have run

17
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:49,880
Speaker 3: the ball better than that against them, and we've played

18
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 3: better than that, so we're certainly capable of better.

19
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 5: Walker with two touchdowns, his connection with Lamar, how have

20
00:00:57,720 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 5: you seen him grow from your one.

21
00:00:59,280 --> 00:00:59,639
Speaker 6: Year or two?

22
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,319
Speaker 3: We get to see his confidence grow. I really think

23
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:04,960
Speaker 3: that's the biggest thing. You know, last year when he

24
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 3: first got her, he was hurt, had a soft tissue injury,

25
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 3: so didn't get to go through a lot of camp

26
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 3: this year the same way. You know, he wasn't hurt,

27
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 3: but we've got some other guys get a lot of reps.

28
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 3: I just think his confidence seems to be growing ours

29
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 3: in him, so you know, with that comes more opportunity,

30
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 3: and so we'll just continue to see how it plays out.

31
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 3: But it also means that we can't play him as often, right, yeah,

32
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 3: because then it will target him and then the streak

33
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 3: will be over. So we only can play him a

34
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 3: certain amount of plays a game. Make sure the streak

35
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:44,399
Speaker 3: stays intact. Right, Let's keep the real important stat here alive.

36
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 7: I know it's only two games, but why do you

37
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 7: think you guys are seeing as much man Tupers as

38
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 7: you are And how do you think your.

39
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,639
Speaker 4: Responded to it? Well?

40
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 3: I think some of it's who we are with Lamar

41
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 3: and our style of play. I think some of it is,

42
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 3: you know, playing the Browns wasn't really on a character

43
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 3: for them. They really want to match you, they want

44
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 3: to challenge you, they want to give you nothing. So

45
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 3: you know, at the end of the day, I can't

46
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 3: speak for the other coordinators. I can only speak for

47
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 3: you know, we execute and how we coach.

48
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,360
Speaker 8: That was it. There was a lot of talks about

49
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 8: Rabel Rogers, Tom Rudger.

50
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 9: Of the French Thomas about.

51
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 10: Pre snap stuff he thought, or the cause of the running.

52
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 8: Games some of the running game issues.

53
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 4: Can you explain that a little bit?

54
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 5: I mean I can't. I don't. I haven't heard that.

55
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 10: He was talking about pre snap adjustments and what was

56
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:41,359
Speaker 10: going on pre snap.

57
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 3: Oh, I mean is that possible? Of course that is,

58
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 3: But that wasn't everything. I mean, let's not just paint

59
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 3: it all on that. I mean, we got to coach

60
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 3: better and we got to play better. There was there

61
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 3: was enough to go around with all of us. No

62
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 3: one was exempt from that. Coaching staff, players, we're all

63
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 3: in it together. I mean, when we play well, it

64
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,799
Speaker 3: was us, and we don't play as well, it's also us.

65
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 3: And we got to look at, you know, how much

66
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 3: we have in how much time do we have to

67
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 3: get it done during the week, the looks that we're

68
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 3: going to get to make sure that our talent shines

69
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 3: on Sunday or Monday.

70
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 11: Do you feel like you have to coach around some

71
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,079
Speaker 11: of those protection wows how you.

72
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 8: Just play call? Really?

73
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 3: I didn't feel it. I didn't feel like that. I

74
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 3: mean some of that is part of playing against a

75
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 3: really good front. I mean you're gonna have some issues. Uh,

76
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 3: some guys are gonna get beat against good players, just

77
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 3: like when they play us in Man. At times they

78
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 3: are gonna get beat by Zay Flowers. That's just the

79
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 3: way it is. You have really good players, they have

80
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 3: really good players. You do everything you can or try

81
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 3: to to help yourself in protection with slides and chips

82
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 3: and those kind of things, and then eventually at times

83
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 3: they are gonna get the best of you, and you're

84
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 3: gonna get the best of them.

85
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 5: You can say, Flowers like, it's just kind of an

86
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 5: energy they will love of the game.

87
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 8: Just always having fun.

88
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 5: The count you think the teams, it's the rest of

89
00:03:57,920 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 5: the offense.

90
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 3: Well, you could definitely feel his energy. Can you can

91
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 3: feel it on the field, you can feel it in

92
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 3: the locker room, you can feel it around the building.

93
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 3: But ultimately on the field, that's about his playmaking. I mean,

94
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 3: let's be real about it. I mean at that point,

95
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 3: everybody's got to bring their own juice. I mean that's

96
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 3: what we do on game day. You're a pro. Everybody's

97
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 3: ready to go on game day. So on game day

98
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:23,719
Speaker 3: it's his playmaking ability, made the most of his limited

99
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 3: opportunities to to this point, do you foresee kind of

100
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 3: thing the case of how you.

101
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:32,280
Speaker 12: Guys use some so may not get a whole lot

102
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 12: of action, but when he is a ball is usually

103
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 12: something big.

104
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 3: I'm excited for him and for us. You know, you

105
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 3: can still see his ability to track the ball, making

106
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 3: tested catches. That's obvious what he's done his whole career,

107
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 3: and we're just going to continue to get him up

108
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 3: the speed with every day. I think his packages are

109
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 3: going to continue to grow as we keep going and

110
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 3: moving forward, and we have to have that be the

111
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,719
Speaker 3: case because he's a tremendous football player and the more

112
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 3: we can get him on the field, the better we're

113
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 3: going to be moving forward.

114
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 5: Isaiah back at practice this week, and what element does.

115
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,840
Speaker 3: He bring to the huddles, Well, it's great seeing him back,

116
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 3: smile on his face. He loves playing football. He's a

117
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 3: he's a weapon for us, so we're excited to get

118
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:15,479
Speaker 3: him back out there.

119
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 11: How much is that change your impact things? I'm sure

120
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 11: it does a little bit, but put in one way,

121
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 11: is it kind of impact things for you what's plenty

122
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 11: is back.

123
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 4: He's just such a versatile player.

124
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 3: There's a number of things you can do with him

125
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 3: in line and flexed out.

126
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:31,599
Speaker 4: So those are the things that you know.

127
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 3: When you have versatile players that allow you to do

128
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 3: a number of things, playing a lot of modes with them,

129
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 3: then it's it's certainly an advantage for us. So we're excited,

130
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:42,799
Speaker 3: like I said, to get him back on the practice

131
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 3: field and get him back out there.

132
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:52,720
Speaker 1: Next up, defensive coordinator, Zach Orr, what's going on?

133
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 9: You want to go the lines and points? Last week

134
00:05:58,320 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 9: we kind of jumped out of.

135
00:05:59,240 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 8: You and one.

136
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 4: It's just a team that's that's connected.

137
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 11: Man.

138
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 4: It's offense. Obviously, they've had their core for a while,

139
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 4: starts with Jared Goff, Saint Brown, uh and in the

140
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 4: two running backs and in the offensive line. So it's

141
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,480
Speaker 4: a real good unit. You can tell that they're well coached,

142
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 4: they know what they're doing, and that they're talented. They

143
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 4: got they got stars at every level from the from

144
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,279
Speaker 4: the front the backfield, receiver in the quarterback position. So

145
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 4: it's definitely gonna be a challenge, man, Zach.

146
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,479
Speaker 9: Does it help you guys that not only do you

147
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:30,720
Speaker 9: have Marlin in the slide if.

148
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 8: You need them. But Kyle Hamilton can play there. I

149
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:34,839
Speaker 8: play there a lot of Georgia.

150
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,159
Speaker 2: Is there a usefulness of having a lot of different

151
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 2: body types, a lot of different guys you can throw

152
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 2: at a guy like coming round?

153
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, I definitely think so, man, because he's a he's

154
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:42,719
Speaker 4: a he's a heck of a player.

155
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:42,839
Speaker 8: Man.

156
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 4: I think he's underrated. Uh, He's definitely one of the

157
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 4: top players and receivers in the league. And I feel

158
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 4: like it doesn't get talked about a lot. But it's

159
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,679
Speaker 4: a versatile offense, not just with him. So we're blessed

160
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 4: to have versatile defenders. But it's gonna be pushed to

161
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 4: the test, and our guys understand that. We understand that

162
00:06:57,880 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 4: we have to become ready to play with our best

163
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,279
Speaker 4: football to play well.

164
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 12: Zach.

165
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 1: There's a lot of talk throughout August that Nate Wiggins

166
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 1: could be fired for a real breakout year.

167
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 5: Obviously had the interception, But how have you seen that

168
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:10,559
Speaker 5: manifest two weeks?

169
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 4: Just what have you liked what you see?

170
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 8: Yeah?

171
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 4: I think he responded back week one. I think he'll

172
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 4: be the first to tell you that he didn't play

173
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 4: the way that he really wanted to play. He worked

174
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 4: at it hard and practice, got it corrected, and he

175
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 4: had a great game on on Sunday. I mean he

176
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 4: was locked in on his technique. His coverage, the interception

177
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 4: was was great to see, but all the other all

178
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 4: the other plays that too. Of course throughout the game

179
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 4: he was he was great as well. So that's that's

180
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 4: the expectation we have for him because because of the

181
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 4: player that that he's that he is, the player that

182
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 4: he's shown. Now he's got to be consistent and stack

183
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 4: another one Monday night.

184
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 8: Gets the ball.

185
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 9: I mean, it's it's going back pretty quickly. You've seen

186
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 9: a few of those type of players here in Baltimore.

187
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 9: Is that just something that you really can't really teach

188
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 9: on me, you know, because you don't really get that

189
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 9: many importunities. I'm guess you're not practicing that to me yet.

190
00:07:59,520 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 5: No.

191
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 4: I mean, first, you can't teach for two speed. His

192
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 4: speed is legit. His speed is legit now now even

193
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 4: though he tired out, he'll tell you that. But now,

194
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 4: I think that's something that you're you're blessed to have

195
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 4: the run ability. Once you get the ball in your hands,

196
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 4: what you do with it I think nowadays, just this

197
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 4: this generation, these guys have played all over the field

198
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 4: since they were kids, man, So we got a lot

199
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 4: of guys who can once they get the ball in hand,

200
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 4: they know what to do with it. I mean even

201
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 4: look at Rokwan, he was he picked it up and

202
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 4: was moving as well. So yeah, that's that's definitely blessed

203
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 4: because when we get the ball and hands, we tell

204
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 4: our guys we want to score, we want to go

205
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 4: put up points. From a defensive standpoint.

206
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,599
Speaker 5: Exactly what it's going to be as loud as it

207
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 5: will be on Monday night. As a defense, is there

208
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 5: a lot of nonverbal communication that has to take place

209
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:45,199
Speaker 5: between players.

210
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, you definitely. I mean from a defense teand point,

211
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 4: we love the crowd noise. We want the crowd to

212
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 4: be loud. We know they're gonna be loud and rocky

213
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 4: on Monday night.

214
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 1: Man.

215
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 4: It's it's it's a great atmosphere, best in the National

216
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 4: Football League. So we love that, embrace that. But from

217
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 4: a defensive standpoint, our communication go up to a whold

218
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 4: new level because you're not gonna be able to hear

219
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 4: each other talk, so you do have to be locked

220
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,559
Speaker 4: in on the game plan, anticipate motions and shifts and

221
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 4: any checks we have what we're going to and then

222
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 4: you have to sign and co sign with one another.

223
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 4: So we embrace it.

224
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:13,719
Speaker 6: Man.

225
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 4: We know it's gonna be tough for the oposing offense

226
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 4: coming in Monday night for them to communicate, and we

227
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 4: know we have to communicate as well. And coach does

228
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 4: a great job. Like you guys, hear the music blasting, blaring,

229
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 4: crowd noise blaring throughout practice, so we get great work

230
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 4: at it every single day.

231
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 8: You could probably.

232
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 9: Say every week. That's important from pressure to quarterback.

233
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 2: But you look at golf and what the Packers.

234
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 10: Did be going compared to what the Bears in.

235
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 8: The week two where they didn't zack them and fairly

236
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 8: hit thems. How big is that?

237
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:44,199
Speaker 5: This?

238
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 13: Don't can know if you're probably gonna be depending on

239
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:47,959
Speaker 13: a lot of young guys to do it.

240
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's big, It's real big. I mean, you talk

241
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 4: about any quarterback, if you let them sit back there

242
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 4: and set their feeding comfortable, they'll make you pay. And

243
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 4: Jared Goff is one of the best that day. He's

244
00:09:57,960 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 4: one of the most accurate quarterbacks. When he has a

245
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 4: clear picture, he can set his feet and throw the football.

246
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 4: So we definitely have to generate pressure on him, whether

247
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 4: that's with four man rush or whether that's sending extra

248
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,559
Speaker 4: guys at him. Uh, we definitely cannot let him get

249
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 4: comfortable and sit back there and pick us apart. Appreciate,

250
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:16,679
Speaker 4: thank you.

251
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 1: Next up, Special teams coordinator Chris Horton.

252
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 5: When Ja Cobbo came, what were your thoughts?

253
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,719
Speaker 14: I don't know if I really had thoughts and emotions. Right,

254
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 14: it's uh, it's free it's free agency.

255
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:38,559
Speaker 4: Uh. When those guys came to me.

256
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:40,319
Speaker 14: And said, hey, let's let's watch all these lists of

257
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 14: linebackers and things like that, he was at the He

258
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 14: was at the top. I think the thing when you

259
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,959
Speaker 14: watch when you watch free agent special teams players as

260
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:49,960
Speaker 14: a as a special teams coach, you kind of know

261
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,560
Speaker 14: who the guys are throughout the league because those guys

262
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 14: are those guys are studs.

263
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:55,959
Speaker 4: On their on their other teams.

264
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 14: So when you're watching the tape and he became available,

265
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 14: you know, I just I went in there, I watched

266
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 14: the tape.

267
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 4: I said this is the guy.

268
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:04,319
Speaker 14: You know, we had just lost some guys and I said,

269
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,560
Speaker 14: this is this is a guy that can help us

270
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 14: and uh and really help our help our young guys.

271
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 14: He understands plays the game the right way. I went

272
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 14: to Harps, talked to Harves about it, had him watch

273
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 14: him and you know, and we kind of came to agreement, Hey,

274
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 14: this if he's available and he wants to be here,

275
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 14: and he wanted to be here, you know, obviously his

276
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 14: his best friends Charlie Kolar, right, so they played together

277
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 14: and so that was a good that was a good

278
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 14: selling point. And I'll tell you this man, it's really

279
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 14: excited to have him on the team because he does

280
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 14: bring leadership and he knows how to play the game.

281
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 4: And the tape speaks for herself.

282
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,839
Speaker 5: Christmas seeing Tyler Luke get off to the right start

283
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 5: from a PLACEKIU standpoint. But I guess it's entertains to

284
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:43,439
Speaker 5: the the Miskickoffs.

285
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 8: What is it?

286
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 5: What are those conversations like, is he tries to write

287
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 5: those stores?

288
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 14: Those are those are like, I think things a little

289
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,679
Speaker 14: little detailed things. The kicks that fall short of the

290
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 14: landing zone. You know, obviously those are like experiment kicks, right,

291
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 14: things that we're trying. We're trying to do a different

292
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 14: lot of different things. We want to get the ball

293
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 14: on the ground. But then there's the kicks that are

294
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 14: that are going out of bounce. I think ultimately those

295
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 14: are the ones we have to get out of our system.

296
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 8: Right.

297
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 14: We just want to put a ball down there, and

298
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 14: he's got to be able to just kick that ball

299
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 14: down there. But ultimately it comes back to us just

300
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,960
Speaker 14: making sure that we keep it simple for him. That way,

301
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,680
Speaker 14: he's not thinking out there, well, what type of kick

302
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 14: is this going to be? So when he leaves the sideline,

303
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 14: it's already made up where we want the ball and

304
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 14: those things shouldn't happen, and I think we'll be able

305
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 14: to get those out of our system pretty quickly.

306
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:29,959
Speaker 4: But other than that, the kid's done a heck of

307
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 4: a job.

308
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 1: We also heard from a few players first up tight

309
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 1: end Isaiah likely.

310
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 9: Practice under the belt.

311
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 8: How are you feeling, man? Refreshed?

312
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 7: Man, I mean just being out for a little while,

313
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,839
Speaker 7: you know, just away from the guys on the field, buying,

314
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 7: get out there, get gonna run around, just get that

315

00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,800

338
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 15: getting back on the field and then positive outlook.

339
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:42,680
Speaker 7: I mean at the end of the day, like what

340
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 7: happens happens, So like this's something you know, I was

341
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 7: tired of the young age. I mean, just don't dwell

342
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,199
Speaker 7: on it. I mean, obviously understand what you got into,

343

344
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 7: the positive in the midst of everything, and I feel

345
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 7: like that's what I did. I mean, obviously if I

346
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,559
Speaker 7: couldn't be there, you know, physically, I always wanted to

347
00:13:57,600 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 7: be there, you know, whether it was on the sideline

348
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 7: helping on, whether it was in the meeting room or

349
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 7: something in between. And now is just being out there,

354
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,400

355
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 7: just being a presence out there is good for me

356
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 7: right now.

357
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 8: But I'll just taking a day by day. I mean,

358
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 8: y'all know, I want to be out there.

359
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 11: When did you start it feel like to turn the

360
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 11: corner or however you want to put.

361
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 7: It in terms of that stuff like running, I mean

362
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 7: being back from the field quick, I felt like I

363
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 7: never lost the sense of being back on the field.

364
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 7: But I mean, uh, really, just you know, the quicker

365
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 7: I felt comfortable being myself in cleats is when I

366
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 7: felt comfortable enough to go out there with the team.

367
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 8: And I feel like right now is just exact where I'm.

368
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 12: Supposed to be if you did get back out there,

369
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 12: did you feel like it was you were able to

370
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 12: kind of just pit right back in to pick up

371
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 12: right where you left off in terms of the connection

372
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 12: with Lamar and the rest.

373
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 1: Of the offense.

374
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, and that's why I try to tell

375
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 7: everybody the connection on the field with Lamar starts off

376
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 7: the field. I mean, Lamar got to trust you there

377
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 7: to day before he trusts you on the field to

378
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 7: make a play. And I feel like, you know, from

379
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 7: when I was a rookie, you know, coming to Noiles,

380
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 7: like just the connection I built with Lamarrow off the

381
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 7: field just you know, helped me.

382
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 8: On the field.

383
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 7: So like I feel like me not being there was

384
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 7: still me being there, just being able to talk to

385
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 7: him every.

386
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 9: Day to the great trust.

387
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 16: What's been like for you to watch Lamar.

388
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 8: And d Hop few weeks, Yeah, I mean, dang.

389
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 7: I mean usually at practice I'll be trying to have

390
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 7: the most spectacular cats, but seeing the Hop out there,

391
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 7: I mean one hand and everything, I mean, it's just

392
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 7: you know, it'.

393
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 8: Sec to see. I mean, he's a vet to that.

394
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 7: I could say that and like, like I tell you

395
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 7: all the time, I didn't know d Hop played as

396
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 7: much as he does, so like just seeing him after

397
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 7: he does it, he'll always give me a wink or

398
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 7: he'll look at me and smile, and I like, all right,

399
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 7: I gotta go ahead show him up.

400
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 5: Kind of curious because you're the first guy to go

401
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 5: through like an extended rehab in the new rehab kind

402
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 5: of area facility.

403
00:15:58,120 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 4: Like how nice was that?

404
00:15:59,680 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 8: Did it?

405
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 5: Did it help you, like feeling more connective to the.

406
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 8: Field, for sure?

407
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 7: I mean, especially like when it first happened. I mean,

408
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 7: usually when you know you're in the treatment room, you're

409
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 7: just treatment rehab and then go in the lyft and

410
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 7: going to do whatever you have left. But like when

411
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 7: having the open glass windows, I was definitely, you know,

412
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 7: excited to see during uh, I want to say, the

413
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 7: coach joint practice, Like I got to sit out there

414
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 7: and watch it a little bit, especially when I was

415
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 7: supposed to be on my feet, just being able to

416
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 7: be in the cut watching from the glass, then be

417
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 7: able to talk. Hopefully they heard me out there talking

418
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 7: a little smacks coming out the field that.

419
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 8: Day, I tried to nate a little bit.

420
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 7: And then I mean George was kind enough to put

421
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 7: the tight end one on ones right, in front of

422
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 7: me at the glass.

423
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 8: So it was definitely fun.

424
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 9: It is important that you kind of still look at

425
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 9: the long game, you know, and want to make sure

426
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 9: you're healthy later on the season and be patient.

427
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 8: Up little thing not super cool things to react to ring.

428
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 7: Somewhere for sure, and I mean I feel like that's

429
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 7: everything to go injured. I mean, you always want to

430
00:16:57,800 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 7: always look at the long game because at the end

431
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 7: of the day, I mean it, in this league it's

432
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 7: a turtles race. I mean, you don't want to get

433
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:08,440
Speaker 7: in September and eighty percent and then really understand that,

434
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:11,360
Speaker 7: you know, January so far away, so I want to obviously,

435
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 7: I mean, we just put up forty plus back to back,

436
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 7: So knowing that the offense is well capable to be

437
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 7: able to be themselves whether I'm on and off the field,

438
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 7: knowing that you know I'm in no rush and they're

439
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:23,919
Speaker 7: not rushing me to get back because I mean, me

440
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 7: limited isn't helping anybody.

441
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:27,679
Speaker 8: I mean, you guys want to see me be me.

442
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,399
Speaker 1: Next up, running back Derrick Henry.

443
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 12: Derek, what are you hoping to see differently out of

444
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 12: the run game this week after last week?

445
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:39,920
Speaker 8: Be better?

446
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:44,159
Speaker 6: And that never happened again. Continue to get better me

447
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 6: myself first, be better with the football and more efficient,

448
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 6: be more explosive to.

449
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 5: Us.

450
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:55,359
Speaker 6: It's getting better each and every day and looking to

451
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 6: translate each and every week.

452
00:17:57,560 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 8: Do you feel do you.

453
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 9: Feel when watching it it was because it looked like

454
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 9: they were the Crowns Their focus was, hey, we're gonna

455
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 9: stop the run.

456
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 8: But from your.

457
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:06,360
Speaker 4: Fans point, do you feel it was.

458
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:10,119
Speaker 9: More your guys and then what they did or was

459
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 9: it or what they did that provided the fine results?

460
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 8: Somehow I look at it.

461
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:15,160
Speaker 4: I always look at myself first.

462
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,639
Speaker 6: I end up looking at another man and saying what

463
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 6: they did wrong, always putting a finger at me, saying

464
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 6: I need to be better. You know, if it's they're

465
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 6: stopping to run, there's no there's no where to go

466
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 6: to make make one. And I feel like I didn't

467
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:30,199
Speaker 6: do that well and I need to do better at that.

468
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 6: But as a whole, you know, we just want to

469
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:34,919
Speaker 6: focus on keep getting better and I need to be better.

470
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 8: And that's my focus.

471
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,639

00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,239
Speaker 12: Just how hard are you were just the running back

475
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 12: position these days, where it feels like a new really

476
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 12: good back pops.

477
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 4: Up every year.

478
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:52,639
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think is it's great.

479
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 6: It's something that we wanted two years ago when we

480
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 6: all were trying to figure out what to do.

481
00:18:58,280 --> 00:18:59,680
Speaker 11: And I think the big.

482
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 4: Answer is just play better.

483
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 6: And I feel like guys are doing that, and I

484
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 6: know and I know guys will continue to do that.

485
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 4: But it's a good time for the running backs right now.

486
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 6: Do you know if you gotta keep it going?

487
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:09,399
Speaker 4: Is there really the season?

488
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 1: How much of it is just kind of figuring it

489
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:14,400
Speaker 1: for your offense, like not many preseason snaps.

490
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:16,199
Speaker 15: But kind of figure out who the direction that you

491
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:19,440
Speaker 15: want to take and argue it's gonna be braw.

492
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 6: No, I don't think it's figure it out. I think

493
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,160
Speaker 6: it's just doing your job and doing your job at

494
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:24,440
Speaker 6: at a high level.

495
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:25,360
Speaker 8: We know what's required.

496
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 6: If you don't play in the preseason, then it's time

497
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 6: to go during the season. So it's just about about

498
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 6: playing better and improving and focusing doing the little things

499
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 6: right and and doing the best you can to put

500
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 6: the team in position to win each and every game.

501
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 12: Who challenges do you see this Lion's defense present until

502
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:45,159
Speaker 12: you specifically in the run game.

503
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:46,880
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, they you know they be able to stop

504
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 6: the run of D line of run stoppers, uh linebackers,

505
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:52,639
Speaker 6: they fly to the ball, always around the ball, and

506
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:55,199
Speaker 6: then that secondary or uh a will and tackler. So

507
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:57,440
Speaker 6: you know that's a it's a tough defense. I play

508
00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 6: with a lot of energy. They feed off one another,

509
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 6: so it's gonna it's gonna be a good matchup on Monday.

510
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 7: Do you feel like.

511
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 13: As teams like obviously can they play you early in

512
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 13: the season that you know that they're coming to stop you,

513
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:09,920
Speaker 13: but with the way that the wide out room played

514
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:11,639
Speaker 13: that eventually something's kind to give and they're not can

515
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 13: be able to cover up with that.

516
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:12,959
Speaker 8: Oh.

517
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 6: I don't really try to focus on what they're trying

518
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 6: to do. I just focus on me doing the best

519
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,920
Speaker 6: I can and being effective. But you know, we got

520
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 6: play makers at the obbos position that you know can

521
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:24,920
Speaker 6: take the top off and Baking is supposed to have

522
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 6: any play we saw with d howp you know zay

523
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 6: Bay even though tight end. So but I just try

524
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 6: to focus on me being the best player I could

525
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 6: be for this team and being efficient and playing better

526
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:35,880
Speaker 6: and can't wait some.

527
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 8: Monday, Dereic.

528
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 12: Obviously you played with d Hop back in Tennessee, and

529
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 12: he's made it no to let people know. I don't

530
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,360
Speaker 12: know who's calling to watch, but apparently somebody is, and

531
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:46,959
Speaker 12: he's making it known that he's not. I mean, are

532
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 12: you are you surprised at all that he's still making

533
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:52,159
Speaker 12: these same type of plays at this stage.

534
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:52,399
Speaker 11: Of his career.

535
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:54,879
Speaker 4: No, I think he's done his whole career.

536
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:57,639
Speaker 6: Everybody knows that's sticking where you get up in age

537
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,719
Speaker 6: all of a sudden you know something's changed. But hopefully

538
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 6: I keep calling them the watch because it's been working,

539
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:04,399
Speaker 6: so we need it.

540
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 1: On that note, we also heard from linebacker Rokwon Smith.

541
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:18,160
Speaker 7: We're gonna take it on Jered Gong obviously basing before

542
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:20,680
Speaker 7: as well, but it's kind of a gunslayer.

543
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:22,399
Speaker 5: What's the idea of doing them?

544
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,479
Speaker 16: Yeah, I think it's obviously a lot easier sett than done,

545
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 16: But I think it starts with stopping and run, making

546
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:30,440
Speaker 16: them one dimensional and forcing into a drop back pass game,

547
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 16: and things are a lot different that way. But obviously

548
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,120
Speaker 16: if they're able to run the ball and establish the run,

549
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:38,359
Speaker 16: then that allows for them with their play action shots

550
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:41,119
Speaker 16: and things like that. So that's what it's gonna be about.

551
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 16: It's a very simple plan, but obviously it's easier set

552
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:45,120
Speaker 16: than done.

553
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 8: So got a lot of respect for those guys.

554
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 9: What do you like about playing Monday night football?

555
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 8: It's awesome.

556
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 16: You play in front of the world, so you show

557
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:54,640
Speaker 16: exactly who you are on Monday night football. So excited

558
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:57,159
Speaker 16: about the opportunity. Excited as a defense to show the

559
00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,919
Speaker 16: world exactly who we are for another week and just

560
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 16: uh gonna build off that.

561
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 11: Bro which word the challenge?

562
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:02,479
Speaker 7: Did?

563
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 8: Hes had some good over fields.

564
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 11: He's a big you know, they do a lot of

565
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:06,919
Speaker 11: games typically.

566
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 16: Plung Yeah, absolutely, Yeah, a lot of play action shots

567
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:12,200
Speaker 16: and a lot of uh in breakers, so a lot

568
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:14,439
Speaker 16: of in breakers. Uh wanna definitely hit to get the

569
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 16: ball in the paint. Uh you see, definitely a lot

570
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 16: of that. So it's about you know, taking care of that, uh,

571
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:21,880
Speaker 16: stopping that, stopping the run and then on the playoffs

572
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,880
Speaker 16: and shots, getting back, getting windows, closing windows or man's

573
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 16: guarding your man, whatever the case may be, and just

574
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 16: taking the things away from him that uh they want.

575
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:33,119
Speaker 14: To do and or impressed you.

576
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,200
Speaker 4: In the way he stepped in LEAs.

577
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 16: Yeah, I got a lot of respect for Teddy Man

578
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:39,640
Speaker 16: the guy. He played five years in college. Uh, so

579
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,120
Speaker 16: he's a he's a he's been around ball for a while,

580
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:44,639
Speaker 16: been playing linebacker, uh his entire life.

581
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 8: So like he got a lot of his spirits.

582
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,719
Speaker 16: H very smart player man. Uh, don't make a lot

583
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:52,679
Speaker 16: of the same mistakes in very advanced for rookies. So uh,

584
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 16: edc of them got themselves are still with him in

585
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 16: the fourth with fourth I think, yeah, bro qu.

586
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:58,239
Speaker 8: On at different points of they game. So I think

587
00:22:58,280 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 8: you would ford.

588
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:03,879
Speaker 10: Rookies on the field, Yes, Mike Green obviously and U

589
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 10: you know that how important have they been to kind

590
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,120
Speaker 10: of what you were trying to covessiate your house?

591

Speaker 9: Absolutely.

00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:11,880
Speaker 16: I think all of those gu well, all of those

594
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:13,959
Speaker 16: guys are obviously rookies, but at the end of the day,

595
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,399
Speaker 16: all of those guys are well oiled. Those guys know

596
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:18,679
Speaker 16: what they're doing. They played a lot of ball throughout

597
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,400
Speaker 16: their career, uh in college, and it's just the league.

598
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:23,679
Speaker 16: So it's the National Football League, but it's still football

599
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:25,239
Speaker 16: at the end of the DA did they And I've

600

602
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:32,639
Speaker 16: So I know those guys are ready for the challenge,

603
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:34,879
Speaker 16: whatever the challenge may be. And whenever they're opportunity and

631
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 16: of the day, coming out, being who we are playing

632
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 16: and play out and not having any lapses and like

633
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 16: doing your one eleven doing your one to eleven play

634
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 16: in and play out, and if we do that to

635
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:53,440
Speaker 16: the best of our ability, we'll definitely like the results.

636
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:56,640
Speaker 1: Next up center Tyler Linderbaum.

637
00:24:56,800 --> 00:25:00,119
Speaker 13: Obviously, Yeah, the goal is to you know, to keep

638
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:02,399
Speaker 13: him as clean as possible and not having to scramble

639
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 13: around like that. But at the end of the day,

640
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:08,680
Speaker 13: it's football, and you know he's he's the best in

641
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 13: the league at that scrambling and making plays like that.

642
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:13,880
Speaker 13: So yeah, obviously stuff breaks.

643
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:14,199
Speaker 8: Down like that.

644
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:17,199
Speaker 13: You know, Eight's gonna have our back at the end

645
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 13: of day. Yeah, we want to have his back all

646
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 13: the time.

647
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 11: Is there a challenge in blocking for like an extended

648
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 11: play guy and and sort of making sure that the

649
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 11: kind of ws on the same page of being able

650
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 11: to do that sort of stuff or anyways the different.

651
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 13: Cut to you that, I guess, I mean pretty simple.

652
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 4: Just block the guy as long as you can.

653
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 13: And you're having the best quarterback in the league, He's

654
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 13: gonna find someone to make plays.

655
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 15: So I probably say establishing the run and support every week.

656
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 4: But as you go into this game, how important is

657
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 4: it to get the ring gambling again?

658
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:53,639
Speaker 13: Yeah, very important. You know, being able to run the

659
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 13: ball it sets you up for other things. So just

660
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:58,159
Speaker 13: being efficient on first and second down is always a

661
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 13: goal and put ourselves and more manageable for downs.

662
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:03,120
Speaker 4: It's always the goal going in the week.

663
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:07,399
Speaker 13: You know, obviously a no turnover game, great communication and

664
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,640
Speaker 13: you know that that leads to high execution and high

665
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 13: level football.

666
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 5: Tell it just just well, it's the feeling coming out

667
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:16,400
Speaker 5: of the Broads game because you guys have been number

668
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,680
Speaker 5: one rushing attack, Like, there's not many days like that

669
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 5: for you guys as.

670
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,119
Speaker 7: Run blockers, if in the run game gen.

671
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 5: But what was kind of the feeling going out?

672
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:28,440
Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean, obviously you know glad that we won,

673
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 13: but you know, as an offense, we know we're totally

674
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 13: capable of playing better football, which is a good thing,

675
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:36,920
Speaker 13: you know, I mean you know, having the defense the

676
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:39,680
Speaker 13: way they played, having the special names the way they played, and.

677
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:40,920
Speaker 4: You know, still coming out with a win.

678
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 13: It's it's better than being on the opposite side of losing.

679
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 13: But also with coming you know, winning, you gotta you

680
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 13: gotta learn from winning too, and certainly we did, you know,

681
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:54,120
Speaker 13: a lot of stuff to clean up, but you know, we're.

682
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 4: Not gonna dwell on one game.

683
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 13: We're not gonna have one game to find us as

684
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,119
Speaker 13: a as a as a team, as a unit, and

685
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:00,840
