1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,120 Speaker 1: The result was, unfortunately for you guys, overturned on the 2 00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:07,640 Speaker 1: god or touchdown in the first quarter on Sunday. But 3 00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:10,440 Speaker 1: I thought John Jones made a pretty aggressive play on 4 00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:13,160 Speaker 1: the ball. I'm curious, when you're going back on film 5 00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:15,200 Speaker 1: with the coaching staff and with the players, how much 6 00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:18,440 Speaker 1: of that is a teaching moment in terms of this 7 00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:21,720 Speaker 1: is exactly what we want to see our cornerbacks, how 8 00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,800 Speaker 1: we want to see our quarterbacks compete when the ball 9 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:29,280 Speaker 1: crosses a goal aligned. Yeah, so you know, there's a 10 00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:31,320 Speaker 1: lot to teach off that play, you know, leading up 11 00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:34,520 Speaker 1: to the actual throw, you know, positioning alignment and stuff 12 00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:38,680 Speaker 1: like that. But you know, that's John you know, in 13 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:40,320 Speaker 1: a nutshell right there at the end of the play. 14 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,519 Speaker 1: You know, he's a greedy guy. You know, loves to compete. 15 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:46,480 Speaker 1: You know, I'm not surprised that, you know, he would 16 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:52,080 Speaker 1: make that effort to make that play. And I'm curious 17 00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:55,280 Speaker 1: if the coaching staff got any explanation as to whether 18 00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:57,200 Speaker 1: or not it was a fifty fifty ball still on 19 00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:01,440 Speaker 1: the ground, or what the explanation was from the officiating 20 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:05,840 Speaker 1: crew to overturn that call. If you're aware of it, well, 21 00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:10,080 Speaker 1: I believe Bill gave explanation on the call, but just 22 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 1: from my perspective, you know, it is what it is. 23 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:15,840 Speaker 1: The officials made the call, New York overturned it. No, 24 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,080 Speaker 1: it is what it is. Just got to work through 25 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 1: it and just keep playing great. Thank you. Next question me, Mike, Please, 26 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,400 Speaker 1: I'll ask anybody else to do a five starts. But 27 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 1: used to ask the question, Hey, Mike, I wanted to 28 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 1: ask you about steps On Gilmore and from coaching him 29 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,480 Speaker 1: on a day to day basis, what do you think 30 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:39,760 Speaker 1: makes him one of the top players in the league 31 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:44,679 Speaker 1: at that position? Hey, Mike, good questions. So, you know, 32 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,320 Speaker 1: working with steps every day, you know, it's an awesome 33 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 1: blessed to do it. What makes him a leap you 34 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 1: know again, I've said this before, I'll say it again. 35 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:57,920 Speaker 1: His preparations, dedication to the game is remarkable. No, he 36 00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 1: comes in every single day and study and the way 37 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 1: he competes in practice is you know seconds and then 38 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 1: the guy comes in every single day. Don't let anybody 39 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,519 Speaker 1: catch a pass on him. You know, it's it's fun 40 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:15,920 Speaker 1: to watch him play. Terms of his physical skill set, 41 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 1: what stands out to you, Mike? You know, STEP's a 42 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:25,359 Speaker 1: you know, bigger corner um, but he moves well, so 43 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 1: you know that you know skill set that he has possesses, 44 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 1: is you know, pretty elite. Next question of your bomb 45 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:42,359 Speaker 1: solo seem socie can you hear us? Yeah? Thank you, 46 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:47,079 Speaker 1: Steve ut need to debt and mistaen apologize. I'm like 47 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:51,639 Speaker 1: a question about step on and and the cornerback position 48 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 1: in general, kind of following up Mike's two questions, Can 49 00:02:55,960 --> 00:03:00,239 Speaker 1: you explain how unique it is or uncommon for a 50 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 1: cornerback to be able to travel, whether it's left side, 51 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 1: right side, to be able to go inside in the slot, 52 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 1: or play outside on the boundary, or be a field corner, 53 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:14,639 Speaker 1: all the things that he seems to be able to do. 54 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,519 Speaker 1: And he is also able to be versatile enough to 55 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,239 Speaker 1: defend a wide receiver. But then if meat be as 56 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 1: in Sunday's game, on occasion a tight end, how uncommon 57 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: are those traits? How how special do they do they 58 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:32,239 Speaker 1: make a player? So I would say, can I sure, 59 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 1: I'm pretty spoiled to have a guy to be able 60 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 1: to do all that I have been doing this forever, 61 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 1: So I would say, it's pretty unique, um, to have 62 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 1: a guy to be able to do that, have a 63 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 1: versus Doty Again, like I said before, incredibly blessed to 64 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 1: have him on the team, But it's also complimentary guys 65 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 1: that work around them, um, you know, to make it 66 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 1: a team effort. You know, Steph does so much on 67 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 1: his own, but you know the guys around him also 68 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 1: do a great job. Jason McCoy, John Jones, J C. Jackson, 69 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 1: Devin mccoordy, John Harmon, Steve Brooks and Pat Chunk. You know, 70 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 1: you know, one guy just can't go out there to 71 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 1: do by himself. They need to go out there and 72 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 1: work together. So I think with his skill set, along 73 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 1: with the guys that work around him, make it, you know, 74 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:19,280 Speaker 1: so that we can be able to do things like this. 75 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:22,600 Speaker 1: In one follow up, you mentioned Terrence Brooks. I know 76 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 1: he's a safety, but you've been estabout John Jones. Those 77 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,040 Speaker 1: are two guys that spent the early part of their 78 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:33,159 Speaker 1: careers playing a lot of special teams. How much does 79 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 1: does that help in in in open field tackling For me, 80 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 1: you guys all tackle well in the second and it's 81 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,599 Speaker 1: been a trademark of his team, But players in particular 82 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 1: DC signs with their development in in in defense, the 83 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 1: special teams has helped them. Yeah, So anytime you can 84 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:57,600 Speaker 1: improve your tackling and be a good tackler, you know, 85 00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 1: there's a spot for you to play on defense. You know, 86 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 1: almost on any team. Um, you know, just for those guys, 87 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 1: you know, special teams is how I got through the game, 88 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,920 Speaker 1: you know, younger in their career, earlier in their career. 89 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,480 Speaker 1: But I'd say, you know, they were guys just chomping 90 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 1: at the bit to actually get on the feeling sure 91 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,360 Speaker 1: that they could do and now they're you know, giving 92 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,160 Speaker 1: that opportunity to go out there and go do it. 93 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 1: And I couldn't be happier for both those guys actually 94 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 1: appreciate it. Thanks Mike. Next question, Michael Chacky. That's all 95 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:32,280 Speaker 1: they Doug Tide. Thanks Stacy. Bob stole my thunder a 96 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 1: little bit there, But I wanted to ask you, Mike, 97 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 1: how much this year the safeties to the safety room 98 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 1: and the cornerback room shares information when they are going 99 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,280 Speaker 1: up against a passing attack like the one they'll be 100 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:50,360 Speaker 1: facing Sunday against Dallas. Well there's one room, so you 101 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 1: know that's just how we work. But yeah, on Sunday 102 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 1: going against Dallas, you know these guys can keep you 103 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,920 Speaker 1: up at night. You know, we got Cooper job Gallup 104 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 1: and then you got Austin. You know, starting with the 105 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 1: coaching staff over there, they've done a great job with 106 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,679 Speaker 1: these guys and O. C. Moore and the wide receiver 107 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,919 Speaker 1: coach Sam Jay. You know you can see on tape 108 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 1: that these guys are coached well. They're quite hard. I mean, 109 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,920 Speaker 1: as you can see by the stats two number one 110 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 1: total yards per game, number one on third down number 111 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:28,480 Speaker 1: two and explosive pass plays, I mean, and number two 112 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 1: and passing yards per game. We got to work cut 113 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 1: out for us this week and we're excited whole opportunity 114 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 1: to go against these guys. You know, should be a 115 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 1: good challenge for us. Thanks Mike. In Our last question 116 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:47,040 Speaker 1: will be Doug Kai Gohad Don Mike. We've seen Justin 117 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 1: Bethel making impact on special teams, so I'm just wondering 118 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 1: how she's progressing on defense. Um, yeah, how are we doing, Doug? 119 00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 1: So you know, everyone on this defense has a rule, 120 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 1: whether you're a special team sky or Sheds a guy, No, 121 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 1: most guys have crossover.
