17
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 4: them since week one, but excited about the opportunity, and

18
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 4: these guys have worked very hard this week and then

19
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:58,480

20
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 4: take any questions.

21
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 5: Haven't cleared not yet.

22
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 6: Yeah, if he does, do you is the the the

23
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 6: expectations that he will started.

24
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:11,399
Speaker 2: At right guard?

25
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 5: Yes, you never wanted to miss a snap all year?

26
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 7: So did he push back on this or was it

27
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 7: just no.

28
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 5: No question that he couldn't play?

29
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 6: Yeah?

30
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,680
Speaker 5: I mean this kid, as you guys know, has been unbelievable.

31
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 4: So, uh, for him to play in that game with

32
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 4: the injury he had is absolutely remarkable. Uh, and then

33
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 4: he just he can't go this week. So uh, I

34
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 4: cannot say enough good things about Carson Swesting. I've probably

35
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:40,400
Speaker 4: I've said a lot of good things I can't say.

36
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 4: You know, it's just incredible what he means. Uh to

37
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 4: the middle of this defense, he's just a a uh

38
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 4: great kid. But in context now with the injury he had,

39
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 4: for him to play in that game the way he

40
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 4: did is unbelievable.

41
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 2: Doesn't it? Long terms.

42
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 8: About David A joke being rolled out and how unfortunate.

43
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, I disappointed for Dave. Just saw Dave here walking

44
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 4: in here. Yeah, it's part of the game. Obviously. It's

45
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 4: sometimes you're you're you're unable to go because of your body.

46
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 4: And he'll work real hard to get as healthy as

47
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 4: he can get but uh, yes, disappointing for him, and you.

48
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 5: Know that's that's unfortunate.

49
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 9: It's his last year for Patrick Great, so everything's uncertain.

50
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 9: You've been here with it for a lot of time.

51
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 9: What has he meant to you?

52
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 10: It's a mental circusation.

53
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:31,399
Speaker 5: Yeah.

54
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 4: I think you guys have talked to Dave over the years,

55
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 4: and and he and I have a very unique relationship.

56
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 4: He he thinks I didn't like him when when I

57
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 4: first got here, which is not true.

58
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 11: Uh.

59
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:43,799
Speaker 5: I just told him the truth and he didn't like that.

60
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 10: Uh.

61
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:48,519
Speaker 4: But to watch him mature and become a leader, uh,

62
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:52,239
Speaker 4: the energy he brings in the building, the the unbelievable

63
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 4: plays that he's made over the years. I always think

64
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,519
Speaker 4: to that fourth down versus Tampa where he was banged

65
00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,079
Speaker 4: up on We tried to throw him a screen to

66
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 4: play before he got tack call twisted his leg and

67
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 4: so he's got a bum leg and he goes up

68
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 4: and makes that catch. So uh, I think the world

69
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 4: of the person. Obviously disappointed for this season and the injuries,

70
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 4: but h think very very highly of the person.

71
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 2: Kevin.

72
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 12: I just want to say this, Oh, I'm not gonna

73
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 12: be in Cincinnati, and I really hope this is not

74
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 12: the last time we get to talk to you face

75
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 12: to face. I think you've had to deal with things,

76
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 12: especially this year, that were unfair, that you had to

77
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 12: coach a team that was especially on offense, that was

78
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 12: inferior to the teams that you faced.

79
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 2: So I don't expect you to answer that.

80
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 12: I just want you to know that's how you feel, alright.

81
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 4: I respect that from you as you go, as you know,

82
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 4: and you guys know this game it is never gonna

83
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 4: be about one person, and that includes.

84
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 13: Me revisiting Squestionnger for a second. Would you go so

85
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 13: far as to say that he played at.

86
00:03:58,120 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 5: An all prol Yes?

87
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, name a level, Mary kay the answers yes, I

88
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 4: mean he's he's an All Pro. He looks like the

89
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 4: other all pros out there, and for him to do

90
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 4: it as a rookie in the middle of this defense

91
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 4: has been incredible. If it sounds like I'm stumping for him,

92
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 4: I am, But I just I have a hard time,

93
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 4: hard hard time imagining there's another rookie out there that

94
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,480
Speaker 4: had the impact at the level he had for the.

95
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 5: Amount of games.

96
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 4: And I mean, what was his playtime percentage?

97
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:29,280
Speaker 5: I mean it's off the charts.

98
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 4: He came back to playing that Jets game off of

99
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 4: an injury that a lot of people wouldn't have come back.

100
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 2: To play on.

101
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 4: So yes, the the the.

102
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 5: All Pro, yes, whatever else award? Do you want to

103
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 5: give him? Yes on those lines, Harold being ruled out.

104
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 5: It's a fun one. Yeah, keep going last week.

105
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 8: You know, he gets in your Friday fights to play.

106
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 8: Like what about his mentality the fighters?

107
00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:58,479
Speaker 5: Try not to repeat myself.

108
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 4: He's a fun guy to coach because, and I say

109
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 4: that from a schematic standpoint, there's no shortage of things

110
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 4: you can do with him. And then he is so

111
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 4: competitive and that's one of the things we saw early

112
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:15,719
Speaker 4: on with Harold, just like his competitive blocking. Not there's

113
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 4: tight ends that are bigger than him, but he sticks

114
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 4: his nose in there.

115
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,919
Speaker 5: And blocks through the echo of the whistle.

116
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 4: Competitive in the past game, strong hands, but really a

117
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 4: fun kid to coach. I say kid, and I think

118
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 4: that's appropriate because he turned twenty one after we drafted him.

119
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 4: But has is the right makeup. He's a you know,

120
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:42,040
Speaker 4: he's a guy that we've enjoyed thinking of ways to get.

121
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 5: Him the football kid.

122
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 6: What with Sarah specifically, what do you feel like is

123
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 6: the biggest thing he needs to do to take that

124
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 6: next step.

125
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 4: Is just yeah, yeah, I think there's natural progression with

126
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 4: young players. We've talked about and everybody's on a different

127
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 4: trend line, if you will. But where he is now

128
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 4: and just continues to work on a bunch of different

129
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 4: areas as small and large and you know, get stronger,

130
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,359
Speaker 4: all those type of things, I do think that's a

131
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,720
Speaker 4: young man that can just continue to ascend and ascend.

132
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 9: But it's not a long term thing for Carson, right,

133
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 9: Can you say what he played your leslie?

134
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, he had a quad muscle injury.

135
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 9: And then with Dylan, is he back to being the

136
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:27,919
Speaker 9: back of this Gabriel?

137
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 5: Yes, it should be good. Yeah, good to go.

138
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 13: Any young guys like that. With Carson and Harold and

139
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,040
Speaker 13: quin Shawn and all these rookies that you had this year,

140
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 13: I mean, do you how do you just feel about

141
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 13: this roster and this team.

142
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 4: Even though the record is so I feel and we've

143
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 4: talked about this rookie class for you know, it feels

144
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 4: like the whole season and I think that my main

145
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 4: point to you guys still is true. They're all really, really,

146
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 4: really good players. And that's exciting. But they're also the

147
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 4: right people off the field, and they're the right workers.

148
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 4: They will all develop into their own forms of leadership

149
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,720
Speaker 4: and that comes with time. But just how diligent they've

150
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 4: been from the jump. There's some rookies that you're chasing

151
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 4: them around to get them to things.

152
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 5: This is not that class.

153
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 4: This is a group that has pushed each other and

154
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 4: has been as good off the field as on the field.

155
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 2: It's not time for reflection.

156
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,679
Speaker 10: But when you look back at all those rookies, how

157
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 10: important or you know, how much more did you have

158
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 10: to be a little bit more patient in the process

159
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 10: with you know, having so many rookies in important roles.

160
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I think the thing there is once you're

161
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 4: playing for us, I know you're a rookie in names certainly,

162
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 4: but the old days of bringing guys along slowly and

163
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 4: that you can have a plan for a player and

164
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 4: then they're in there early. So once they're in you

165
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 4: trust them and you forget the idea that they're rookies

166
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 4: and that's that's us, that's everybody, that's the league. Once

167
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 4: you get to week one and they're in there, that

168
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 4: you're counting.

169
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 14: On them and overall in your coaching career, how young

170
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 14: guys are more mature and ready to go than perhaps

171
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 14: when you were first year of coaching.

172
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 4: Maybe, Yeah, it could be the nature of college football

173
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 4: and some of the money that they're making, and maybe

174
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 4: that creates different environments for guys now, and there could

175
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 4: be something to that, But I think it's so specific

176
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 4: to It's a case by case basis with a lot

177
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:32,559
Speaker 4: of these guys. But the thing to think that they're

178
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 4: finished products when they get into the NFL is not

179
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:38,679
Speaker 4: the case these guys. They're all players that will continue

180
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 4: to develop and get better.

181
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 13: Shador as you head into this final game, his final

182
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 13: start for you guys, I know we've asked you a

183
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 13: couple of times about what you want to see from

184
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 13: him in his final game, but just what are your

185
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 13: thoughts on him.

186
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 4: As you Yeah, obviously just I can put in the

187
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 4: context of this game a mary kay and tell you

188
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 4: I'm looking forward to him continuing to build on all

189
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 4: the good things that we're doing, and there's areas of

190
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,959
Speaker 4: improvement that he's working very hard on. We're working very

191
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,559
Speaker 4: hard on. But continue to put your team in position

192
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 4: to win football games.

193
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:11,959
Speaker 2: If David said that.

194
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 10: He didn't think that you liked him at first, and

195
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 10: you had that sort of experience with any other like

196
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 10: young players, where you just kind of got to get

197
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 10: them used to your coaching side.

198
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:21,959
Speaker 5: I don't.

199
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, listen, I try to be I'm myself and that's

200
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 4: what I'll always be with our players. Dave's a unique person,

201
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 4: as you guys know. But uh, yeah, I think the

202
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 4: world of him. Uh And like all of us, we're

203
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 4: all going through it. We're all going through things off

204
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 4: the field as well, and you've got to work, you know,

205
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 4: with each other when you're going through those things, and

206
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 4: you got to you know, be there for each other

207
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 4: when you're going through those things.

208
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 5: For all players.

209
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 4: I'm saying, but yeah, that's a unique one.

210
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 5: And you didn't like Probably not, Yeah, probably not.

211
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 13: I mean, you know, watching your post game speech and

212
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 13: just how those guys pull together in a late game

213
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 13: like this, just in general, do you feel like there's

214
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 13: maybe kind of something special about this football team, this

215
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:10,079
Speaker 13: this roster, even though the record doesn't state necessarily.

216
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 4: I know, like that's for us, Mary Kay, it's not

217
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 4: really big picture for us. It's it becomes small picture

218
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 4: for us, and and we zoom in and what's in

219
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 4: front of us. And that's what I appreciate about this group.

220
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 4: And uh, we're not really looking in the rear view

221
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 4: and we're not looking at you know, too far ahead

222
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 4: down the road.

223
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 5: It's like, what's in front of us.

224
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 4: And that's the fun part of this business is these

225
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 4: opportunities that we get to compete week in and week out.

226
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 4: This one a division opponent. They got us the last

227
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 4: time we played. You know, we we remember that in

228
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 4: week one, So we want the opportunity to even the series,

229
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 4: and we want the opportunity to compete against a you know,

230
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,959
Speaker 4: great players with a you know, really great coaches. That's

231
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 4: the exciting part for us. Okay, thanks guys up.

232
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,319
Speaker 1: Next year's offensive coordinator Tommy Reese, who spoke on mitigating

233
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 1: risk with a rookie quarterback.

234
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,199
Speaker 9: That is that starts to the games week as well

235
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,439
Speaker 9: as you've seen played for kind of an extended stressler.

236
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 15: Yeah, it felt good. They're off the jump. I felt

237
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,680
Speaker 15: like all of our guys offensively, we're in the right spots.

238
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 15: It feels like we've had a little bit of momentum here.

239
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 15: Did not sustain it throughout the game obviously as a group,

240
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 15: not just singly at shrador but did not sustain it

241
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 15: as a group. But I thought he made really good decisions,

242
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 15: made a couple of high level throws there. You know, obviously,

243
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 15: when you start a drive with an explosive like we

244
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 15: did on that second series, that brings a lot of

245
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 15: confidence into the group, That brings a lot of confidence

246
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,680
Speaker 15: into the quarterback. And usually when you have an explosive

247
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:38,199
Speaker 15: like your percentages of scoring on that drive go up astronomically,

248
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 15: and we did. We finished that drive in the end

249
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 15: zone with another explosive to Harold. So I want to

250
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:45,560
Speaker 15: build off of that, for sure. I want to continue

251
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 15: to have confidence. And you know, a lot of the

252
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:51,679
Speaker 15: messaging with your door throughout, like when we play like that,

253
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 15: like you're breathing confidence into the entire group and we're gonna,

254
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,079
Speaker 15: you know, continue to call it in a way, we're

255
00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 15: breathing confidence into you and allowing you to lead the

256
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 15: offense and continue to push the ball to the areas

257
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 15: of the field that we need to. And you know,

258
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 15: we had one with rocket there where it was incomplete,

259
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 15: but we had a run action there in that second drive,

260
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 15: they played a played a too high coverage and we

261
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 15: checked it down similar to what he did against Buffalo,

262
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 15: and it's just continue to build the repetition of making

263
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 15: the right decision and you know, taking the ball where

264
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 15: the defense allows it to go.

265
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 6: It's been the struggle though. You talk about not being

266
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 6: able to sustain it. What is there something you can

267
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 6: pinpoint the thing that's really kind.

268
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 15: Of there's always a combination. It's not one position, group

269
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 15: or one thing. Like in this game, it felt like

270
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,079
Speaker 15: we got behind the sticks, whether it was a penalty

271
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 15: and a time we had an untimely opportunity, like we

272
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 15: had a couple explosive runs that get called back.

273
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 5: We have.

274
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 15: You know, maybe we don't execute exactly the way we

275
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 15: want to on an early down and then we're behind

276
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:53,440
Speaker 15: the sticks and then we're playing uphill or you know

277
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 15: there at the end of the game, we're backed up

278
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 15: and we're kind of infour minute not infour minute, and

279
00:12:58,000 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 15: you know, we just don't sustain the drive there. We

280
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 15: get to third and one and don't execute the way

281
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 15: we want to. So you know, it comes back to

282
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 15: our execution. It's very rarely something that you know, we

283
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 15: just we aren't prepared for. It's just we got to

284
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 15: hone in on things that that we got executed as

285
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 15: coaches as players to make sure that we can sustain

286
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 15: those drives and then avoid some of the untimely penalties

287
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 15: as best we can.

288
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:23,560
Speaker 12: Your confidence as a play caller grown as you've got

289
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 12: grown to know more ABOUTI.

290
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 15: Door, yeah, I think you just that relationship is so

291
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 15: important between the quarterback and the play caller and you know,

292
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,080
Speaker 15: really being on the same page. I think every week

293
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 15: that continues to grow, you know, as he gets more comfortable,

294
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 15: as we all get more comfortable and trusting in what

295
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 15: we're doing. You know, you feel like you can call

296
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 15: games more aggressively, you can call plays in a way

297
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 15: that you're going to solve the issues and you're gonna

298
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 15: make the right plays when they're there and then solve

299
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 15: the problems when they're not, and should all has done

300
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 15: a really nice job of that throughout the year, and

301
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,679
Speaker 15: you know, there's teachable moments in every game that we

302
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 15: want to continue to work on, and there's certainly those

303
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 15: for myself as well, and it's a it's been a

304
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 15: good experience working together and moving forward.

305
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 16: Of how he's growing week by week and learning the

306
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 16: why you know, when he goes out on the field,

307
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 16: but we look at like a big picture for the

308
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 16: off season. What is it about an offseason that you

309
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 16: know allows a first year starter or rookie quarterback to relie,

310
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 16: come back and really be proficient in that second year.

311
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 5: Yeah.

312
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 15: I think for any individual, like you are able to

313
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 15: step away a little bit, right, like you're sowing the

314
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 15: weeds during the season of the game plan and looking

315
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 15: at things through a very specific lens. I think when

316
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 15: you step away from the season, you have the opportunity

317
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 15: to look at it maybe from a different vantage point.

318
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 15: You can take your time a little bit looking at

319
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 15: things and where you improve. You know, you face this

320
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 15: sometimes when players get injured and they have to like

321
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 15: step away from being in the huddle and looking at

322
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 15: it on the field. Like sometimes you have a new

323
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 15: perspective of stepping away and seeing things and it helps

324
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 15: you as you move forward. I think when you get

325
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 15: out of the rush of hey, I'm a rookie, I'm playing,

326
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 15: I'm preparing all all of this is new to me.

327
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 15: All of this is a lot like I'm trying to

328
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 15: manage that. I think when you have a little bit

329
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 15: more time to be patient to look at it, to

330
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 15: you know, really evaluate the areas. I think you just

331
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 15: have more of an opportunity to learn and grow from

332
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 15: those than it is in season.

333
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 13: Willing to take those big shots and those explosives and

334
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 13: look for those kinds of things. Do you sometimes just

335
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 13: have to live with the picks here and there? Or

336
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 13: how do you reconcile that?

337
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 17: I think it's always it always comes back to me.

338
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 15: First, do we have the look that we want to

339
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 15: take the explosive against or do we not right?

340
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 3: And when we don't.

341
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 15: So much of that of the quarterback position is solving

342
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 15: the problem and making the right decisions. So it's for me,

343
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 15: it's constantly like my focus in on to make sure

344
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 15: that we're giving him all the information, all the education

345
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 15: to hey, this is what we want to attack, this

346
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 15: is what if they play this, this can be an issue.

347
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 17: Here are your solutions and look, he's created plays.

348
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 15: A lot of quarterbacks create plays off script, and you

349
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 15: got to find the balance of all, right, is there

350
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 15: something here off script or is it time to take

351
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 15: our loss? And sometimes again a zero is okay in

352
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 15: this situation. But those are all moments that we continue

353
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 15: to teach off of and it's our job, my job

354
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 15: as the coach to make sure during the week we're

355
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 15: getting him to understand or getting all of our players

356
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 15: understand this is what we're trying to attack, and these

357
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 15: are the problems we have to try to solve.

358
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 2: Talk about balance is part of it. Also.

359
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 9: You know he talks about wanting to give his guy

360
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 9: a chance, right, so or some one on one ball

361
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 9: is okay.

362
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 5: But some are.

363
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 17: Yeah, I would say that's accurate. Yeah, I would say

364
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 17: that's accurate.

365
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 16: In the NFL any different than in college. And so

366
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 16: we're play calling in the NFL any different from play

367
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 16: calling in college, and.

368
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 2: It's so high.

369
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 15: Yeah, I think there are differences. I mean, once you

370
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 15: get into a rhythm, you're in the rhythm, I think

371
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 15: there's no, there's not a huge difference there. I think

372
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 15: the game planning, the things that you need to prepare for,

373
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 15: the things that you need to take into consideration, can

374
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 15: be a little bit different college in the NFL, But

375
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:07,880
Speaker 15: in terms of in game, once you're in the flow,

376
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,639
Speaker 15: I think there's still a lot of similarities in terms of,

377
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 15: you know, outside of the obvious rule differences and all

378
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:16,239
Speaker 15: those things, I think in the game planning part of it,

379
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 15: there are some considerations personnel wise, schematically, things that you

380
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:26,159
Speaker 15: can and can do at the college level, those certainly

381
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 15: play a factor on the front end. But in game,

382
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 15: once you get going, you know, I think it's it's

383
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 15: feels pretty similar handling.

384
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 13: You know, there's rumors swirling everywhere about what might happen,

385
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 13: you know, with Kevin's future, which obviously could improve you

386
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 13: if something happens. So I mean, how are you handling

387
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 13: all that as your head into this finale?

388
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,119
Speaker 15: Yeah, Like, I think the outside enjoys that stuff a

389
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 15: lot more than or pays a lot more attention to

390
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 15: it than we do in the building. You know, we

391
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 15: take off of Kevin Kevin's leadership, which is excellent.

392
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 17: And look, we work long hours.

393
00:17:58,119 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 15: We don't have a whole lot of time to do

394
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 15: a lot of except try to get our guys ready

395
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 15: to play and get our guys ready to you know,

396
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 15: face the opponent of the week.

397
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:07,680
Speaker 5: And look, we're.

398
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,359
Speaker 15: Pretty rhythmic and how our week's roll, and so a

399
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 15: lot of us are in a routine and we kind

400
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 15: of know what we're doing every hour, every minute of

401
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:18,439
Speaker 15: the day and try not to deviate much from that,

402
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 15: and you know, try to isolate ourselves from all the

403
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 15: noise as much as we can. But we have a

404
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:27,120
Speaker 15: great group here, great staff, you know, guys that enjoy

405
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:29,360
Speaker 15: being around each other, so kind of just lean into

406
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,239
Speaker 15: each other and take after Kevin's leadership and put one

407
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:33,120
Speaker 15: foot in front of the other.

408
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,639
Speaker 6: How much does that change for you from you know,

409
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:40,399
Speaker 6: when you were a player, maybe even in your early

410
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,359
Speaker 6: days as a coach, you know, being able to block

411
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 6: out some of that outside noise.

412
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:46,639
Speaker 5: Yeah.

413
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 15: Look, and this is like very separate to our situation

414
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 15: right now. Like when I was playing, Twitter was becoming

415
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 15: a thing, so everybody had Twitter. I learned very quickly

416
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 15: this is a bad place to be throw as many

417
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,399
Speaker 15: interceptions as I did, Like you don't want to be

418
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,879
Speaker 15: on Twitter as much as a lot of people. And

419
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:04,719
Speaker 15: then I would say probably as a young coach, as

420
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,880
Speaker 15: a young coordinator, you learn even quicker, like you still

421
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 15: don't want to be on that. So like the Internet

422
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 15: for me in the season is almost like a foreign

423
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 15: I tried just to.

424
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 17: Stay out of it.

425
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 15: It's not a great place to live, but I think

426
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 15: we all learn our ways to deal with stuff and grow.

427
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 17: But like I truly mean it.

428
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 15: Like we are so on schedule, on rhythm, like this

429
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 15: is what we do at this time on a Tuesday,

430
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 15: on a Wednesday, that really there's not a whole lot

431
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 15: of time to allow distractions to creep in. And I

432
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 15: think our focus again like leadership from keV in terms

433
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 15: of just like where our focus is right now is

434
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:43,679
Speaker 15: to finish the season strong. And look, we all know

435
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:45,879
Speaker 15: the business we signed up for. That's not foreign to

436
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,399
Speaker 15: any of us. So you know, our focus is how

437
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,119
Speaker 15: do we get our players ready to go? How do

438
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 15: we give ourselves a chance to win on Sunday and

439
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 15: let the chips fall where they may.

440
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:59,640
Speaker 14: As many hours are digital, as many hours in college

441
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 14: as a coordinator, if.

442
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:05,919
Speaker 5: You do, yes, what is your typical?

443
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:07,439
Speaker 15: I don't want to get in all those It's just

444
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 15: our days are so regimented. I was so scheduled that

445
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:14,399
Speaker 15: like again, we are focused on what is the task

446
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,360
Speaker 15: at hand this week and focus on getting our players

447
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 15: to be ready to play, and focused on supporting each

448
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:21,160
Speaker 15: other as a staff.

449
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 5: And that's really where our focus is right now. Challenging

450
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 5: for you.

451
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 13: And for Shador to to lose Harold fan In so

452
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 13: early on in that game and then also have the

453
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:32,399
Speaker 13: uncertainty of not maybe knowing the unp is going to

454
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 13: be able to play in Cincinnati.

455
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 15: Yeah, you know, Harold's a big part of what we do.

456
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 15: Obviously made a great play there right before he got injured,

457
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:41,399
Speaker 15: and there's a lot of confidence in throwing the ball

458
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 15: to Harold for Shador And you know, I thought Sal

459
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:46,919
Speaker 15: Blake and Batesy, they all stepped up, you know, and

460
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 15: to fill that role kind of by committee, and you

461
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:52,160
Speaker 15: know the rest of the guys offensively stepped up. We've

462
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 15: had a number of players that have needed to be

463
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 15: in that role. I mean, Zack Centner played for us

464
00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:00,199
Speaker 15: this past week in a similar fashion when guys get hurt. Know,

465
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 15: Trayvon wasn't even with us a few weeks ago and

466
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 15: now he's making critical plays for us. Rocket hadn't been active,

467
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:08,199
Speaker 15: and now you know, he's playing in critical moments. So

468
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:10,479
Speaker 15: I think one thing our guys have done a really

469
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:12,400
Speaker 15: nice job of is kind of having that next man

470
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 15: up mentality and being ready to play when their numbers called.

471
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 15: And you know, I'm sure there's gonna be another situation

472
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 15: that is unforeseen moving forward that you know, we have

473
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 15: to have somebody step up in a critical role for us.

474
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 18: Specifically about this game of Sebago's Obviously you open the

475
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 18: season against them.

476
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:32,159
Speaker 6: How have you seen their defense just grow over this

477
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:33,120
Speaker 6: over the course.

478
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:33,439
Speaker 2: Of the season.

479
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 15: Yeah, it seems a long time ago that we played them,

480
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:37,679
Speaker 15: which it kind of was.

481
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 17: You know, I think when you set out for a.

482
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 15: Season, you have an idea of what you want to

483
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 15: be offensively, defensively, uh, special teams wise, and then as

484
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,120
Speaker 15: your season progresses, you kind of hone in on who

485
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:48,720
Speaker 15: you can be.

486
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 17: You know, I think they've done a nice.

487
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 5: Job of that throughout the year.

488
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:54,879
Speaker 15: You know, their corner number twenty has really elevated his

489
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 15: play and has played at a really high level throughout

490
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 15: the season for them. Obviously they've had some injuries, they've

491
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,680
Speaker 15: had some moving parts, but I think collectively as a defense,

492
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 15: you know, they've really improved and played well. You know,

493
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:08,120
Speaker 15: I worked with Al for a year at Notre Dame

494
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 15: and have a tremendous respect for who he is as

495
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:12,639
Speaker 15: a person and who he is as a coach, and

496
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:14,360
Speaker 15: I think, you know, he's doing a really nice job

497
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 15: now of you know, putting his guys in position to

498
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 15: have success and execute at a higher level. You've seen

499
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 15: that over the last couple of weeks of the defense

500
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 15: playing well and you know, again a lot of respect

501
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:27,160
Speaker 15: for Alan what they do defensively, and I think collectively

502
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 15: as a group, you know, they're starting to hone in

503
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 15: on on who they are.

504
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 16: Make of Dylan Gabriel season obviously, you know, starting in

505
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,120
Speaker 16: the backup role, getting some opportunities to start and now

506
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 16: you know, you know, having a concussion and now being

507
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:39,879
Speaker 16: back in the backup role, what do you make of

508
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,120
Speaker 16: his rookie season and maybe the outlook for him?

509
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 15: Yeah, now is really not the time for like the

510
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 15: postseason evaluation for us. You know, like we're still again,

511
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,239
Speaker 15: we have a game to play Sunday. You know, there

512
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,719
Speaker 15: will be time to reflect. There will be time to evaluate,

513
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 15: you know, individuals and seasons and where to move forward.

514
00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 15: But like that's furthest thing from our thought right now.

515
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 6: When you face a team in Week one and then

516
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 6: you face them weak, is it almost two completely different teams?

517
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 6: How much do you carry from from that week one

518
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:14,200
Speaker 6: prep into into this week?

519
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:16,639
Speaker 5: Yeah, it is a large gap.

520
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 15: You know, there's certainly things that you look at situationally

521
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 15: on how they played us, and you try to find

522
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:24,399
Speaker 15: the consistencies on who they still are versus who they

523
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:27,680
Speaker 15: were week one. Obviously, our quarterback in that game that

524
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 15: you know is there now, so you know, that's obviously

525
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 15: a very different thing to look at. But you just

526
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:36,360
Speaker 15: try to find the consistencies and who they are and

527
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 15: who they still are and how they may want to

528
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 15: attack you defensively. But look, we probably look a lot

529
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 15: different week one than how we look now from a

530
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:47,399
Speaker 15: personnel standpoint. Certainly there's some scheme things that might be

531
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 15: a little different, but that's part of the year. That's

532
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 15: part of how you evaluate, you know, how the year

533
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 15: goes on.

534
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 19: Kind mentioned that this has been the most challenging year

535
00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:00,160
Speaker 19: of his career just because of so much changes.

536
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:01,160
Speaker 10: On the offensive line.

537
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 19: Can you just, I guess speak to like how challenging

538
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 19: that has been, even from your position as OC and

539
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,959
Speaker 19: how especially you've learned to maybe work through those things,

540
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 19: especially when you have.

541
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 13: A young quarterback who's it's.

542
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 2: About the season.

543
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:15,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, it is challenging.

544
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:17,159
Speaker 15: I mean that's part of it though, right, I mean,

545
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 15: there's gonna be injuries, there's gonna be things. I think

546
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 15: Bloom's done a really nice job of getting whoever has

547
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 15: been available ready to play. I would give him a

548
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 15: ton of credit for that. He's done a really nice

549
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 15: job there. Offensive line is a hard one because there's

550
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 15: so much continuity that you want from that group.

551
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:34,680
Speaker 5: There's so much.

552
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:38,399
Speaker 15: Synergy that you need to play with up front to

553
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:40,159
Speaker 15: make sure that you can have success. So when you

554
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:43,119
Speaker 15: lose guys, you know, you're constantly trying to find rhythm

555
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:46,200
Speaker 15: there with that group. But again, I think Bloom's done

556
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:48,359
Speaker 15: a really you know, he's I'm sure he's felt at

557
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 15: times it's been challenging, but he's done a really nice

558
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 15: job getting that group ready to play regardless.

559
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 5: Of who's been available for us.

560
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 15: You know, we've had to do some things schematically to

561
00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 15: help and all that, but I'd give Bloom and his guys,

562
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 15: you know, a lot of credit for how they've come

563
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 15: week in and week out. And yeah, it's been a

564
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 15: little bit of a mash of a group there, but

565
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 15: sometimes that's how it goes, and you know, you got

566
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:15,919
Speaker 15: to find solutions and find ways to before of frustration.

567
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 2: I view late quarter in the booth, can you kind

568
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 2: of like.

569
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:23,679
Speaker 15: Explain yeah, without going down there. Look, that's not directed

570
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:26,199
Speaker 15: at one person or one coach or one player, Like

571
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 15: we just want to hold our guys to a standard

572
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 15: in critical moments that this is what the expectations are.

573
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 15: And you know we were in a four minute there,

574
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 15: we had to use the time out. We don't want

575
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:41,160
Speaker 15: to use the timeout in that situation. So, look, we're

576
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:44,359
Speaker 15: striving to raise our play. We're striving to raise our

577
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:49,440
Speaker 15: level of in critical moments, our ability to execute and

578
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,920
Speaker 15: play at a high level. And frustration got the best

579
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 15: of me there, but it wasn't at anybody individually or specifically.

580
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 15: It's just, you know, our standard and what we want

581
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 15: to hold our guys accountable to is that of such

582
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 15: that we want to execute in those critical moments. And

583
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 15: felt like we had a look that we wanted to

584
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 15: take advantage of and felt like a missed opportunity.

585
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 5: Thanks you.

586
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 1: Defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz is up next, and he talked

587
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 1: about how his unit has had some success against the

588
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:16,359
Speaker 1: high flying Bengals offense in the past.

589
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 6: This has been a matchup as good as they are offensively.

590
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:25,640
Speaker 6: Why have you guys had some relative success against them

591
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 6: as a defense?

592
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:32,920
Speaker 20: Well, I mean, I think the way our teams match up.

593
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 20: You know, their obvious strength is their wide receivers in

594
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 20: their passing game, and we've had good corners and we

595
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 20: trust those guys to be able to play, and we

596
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 20: have good pass rush, so you know, I think a

597
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:48,720
Speaker 20: lot of you know, a lot of that goes into it.

598
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:51,680
Speaker 20: And you know, it's division football. Teams know each other

599
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 20: pretty well, and you know, it's just it's just a

600
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:57,680
Speaker 20: matter of going out and playing. But I would say

601
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 20: this like any success or.

602
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 5: Lack of success over the last.

603
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 20: Three years means nothing in this game. This game will

604
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:08,919
Speaker 20: stand alone, and you know, we have to finish our preparation.

605
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:11,159
Speaker 20: We have to go out and you know, play with

606
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:14,199
Speaker 20: a lot of toughness and effort and physicality, and if

607
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:18,119
Speaker 20: we do those things, we'll feel good about ourselves and

608
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 20: coming out with the win.

609
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:23,199
Speaker 13: Just how good was that sequence at the end of

610
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:25,120
Speaker 13: the game by Denzel?

611
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:29,680
Speaker 20: Yeah, I mean it really like you probably couldn't have

612
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 20: scripted it any better from my comments, my comments last week.

613
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 20: I guess it was last week when we're talking about

614
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 20: Denzel and about how like people don't throw at him,

615
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 20: and they didn't throw at him the whole game, and

616
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:46,400
Speaker 20: then the coverage that we were playing was forcing them

617
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 20: to go outside. Right, it was like, okay, let's take

618
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:52,680
Speaker 20: away the inside part of the field. And let's force

619
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 20: them to take the lowest percentage s thros outside, which oh,

620
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 20: by the way, you know you're either going to be

621
00:27:57,760 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 20: thrown at Denzel, you're going to be throwing at Tyson.

622
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,919
Speaker 20: We like both of those, so you know, that's just

623
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:07,119
Speaker 20: you know, that's just Denzel his ability, like and he

624
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 20: had three different techniques on those two. Like, you know,

625
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:13,760
Speaker 20: the technique he played just he played so square they

626
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 20: couldn't get him out of square. First played receiver couldn't

627
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 20: run his route, the second played receiver couldn't run his route,

628
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 20: and the third the third one they tried to double

629
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 20: move him and you know, get a little heavy in there,

630
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 20: and he just had great timing. So you know, that's

631
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 20: the Denzel we know, and that's why people don't throw.

632
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:35,199
Speaker 20: But that's also why in those situations we had the

633
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 20: confidence to play a defense that forced them to throw

634
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 20: the ball outside that's where their opportunity was.

635
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 5: Going to be.

636
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 20: But also we liked those We liked those matchups and

637
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 20: we liked those players.

638
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 8: Tyson said after the game that it was like night

639
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 8: and day with the first Steelers game when it was

640
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 8: first game here too last week. So how has he

641
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 8: been has even everything basically thought he would be when.

642
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 20: He got here in the Yeah, there's a perfect example

643
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 20: of that. And there was a deep ball that got

644
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 20: thrown in the first game and he had good coverage

645
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 20: but didn't find the ball.

646
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 2: Right.

647
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:13,360
Speaker 5: We talked about that.

648
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 20: You know, some people were trained, particularly high school and

649
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 20: college guys. A lot of times they train them not

650
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 20: to look for the ball and they just play flashes

651
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 20: of hands and things like that. But we want our

652
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 20: guys to get their head around a little bit earlier

653
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 20: and stuff like that. And you saw a perfect example

654
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 20: of that when they tried the Scotty Miller play on

655
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 20: fourth and one. Great coverage but also just great locating

656
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 20: the ball and the quarterback couldn't throw the guy open

657
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 20: because the corner was staring at him because Tyson was

658
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 20: staring at him. So, you know, I think that that

659
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 20: he had some flashes in that first game.

660
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 5: I mean, that's a tough situation.

661
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:48,719
Speaker 20: Number One, he plays on Monday night, he gets one

662
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 20: day of practice. You know, he's got to try to

663
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 20: put everything in, not making any excuses for anybody, because

664
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 20: there's never any excuses, but there may be reasons, right,

665
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:00,959
Speaker 20: and we've said that before, But I'm you know, as

666
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 20: proud as I am of Tyson on playing you know

667
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:06,720
Speaker 20: that coverage stuff, you know, a little bit like when

668
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 20: I talk about Miles and the TFLs, I'm even more

669
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:11,720
Speaker 20: proud of of Tyson Campbell when it comes to the

670
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 20: physicality and the way he plays the run game. And

671
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 20: that's that's been the thing that's really earned him the respect,

672
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,440
Speaker 20: not just from the coaches, but from the former, from

673
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 20: the other players and his opponents.

674
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 9: H Pittsburgh or Aaron altered their game plan regarding Myles

675
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 9: not trying to get this thing.

676
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:36,719
Speaker 20: Well, yeah, I mean they are always Miles conscious. Everybody's

677
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 20: Miles aware.

678
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 5: You know.

679
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 20: They have to be because otherwise he'll just completely wreck

680
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 20: your game. So everybody starts their game plan with saying, Okay,

681
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 20: ninety five is not gonna beat us, and let's see

682
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 20: if we can play it another way. I would say this,

683
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 20: it helped us because most of the time the guy

684
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 20: that was chipping Miles was game well, and with the

685
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 20: injuries that they had had, with losing DK and not

686
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 20: having austin game well, was their number one receiver, you know.

687
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 20: So you know, it's a little bit like swapping Queen's

688
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 20: to get check made a couple of plays later. You know,

689
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 20: I haven't given you any chess. I used to have

690
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 20: a lot of chess. They used to play a lot more,

691
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 20: you know, but the way back in the day. But

692
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 20: but you know, it was a little bit like that.

693
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 20: They took a very important piece out of their offense

694
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:30,520
Speaker 20: to try to take an important piece out of out

695
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 20: of ours. And you know, I think that had a

696
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 20: lot to do with with how it went. But I think,

697
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 20: you know, the way this game went, like our corners

698
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 20: played extremely well, you know, and it doesn't matter. I mean,

699
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 20: it's hard to cover on the outside part at field.

700
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 20: Rogers is a Hall of Famer. You know, they have

701
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 20: very capable guys that can that can play in. Tyson

702
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 20: and Denzel played outstanding on the outside part of the field.

703
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 20: But I'd be remiss if I didn't mention Trey Avery

704
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 20: because Trey's bounced around undrafted free agent, had a couple

705
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 20: of different teams up and down from the practice squad

706
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 20: this year, and we lost Miles Harden and we did

707
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 20: a workout before the game. He just wasn't able to go,

708
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:12,959
Speaker 20: and Trey had to step in and play. And you know,

709
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 20: other than like one of his first plays was that

710
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 20: rub pick on the one third down, which I'd like

711
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:23,240
Speaker 20: a little better awareness of just knowing that's coming to

712
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 20: avoid that situation. But settled down on the sideline and

713
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 20: played outstanding ball for us. He tackled, he played tight coverage,

714
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 20: he played sticky like you know, you want to watch

715
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:38,280
Speaker 20: those those really the last four plays at that game,

716
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:41,720
Speaker 20: Watch Trey, watch watch out. You know, he's glove and

717
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 20: receivers and played really good but communicated really well, played

718
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:49,240
Speaker 20: with some effort, you know, and he was a guy

719
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 20: that you know, whatever Wednesday before really wasn't in the

720
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 20: game plan. But we talk a lot about you know,

721
00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 20: being able to do your job and don't beat a

722
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:00,240
Speaker 20: week link. And not only was he not the week,

723
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 20: but he was a strong wing for him. Guys like Trey,

724
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 20: guys like Rayshawn Jenkins Ray. Depending on how the games played,

725
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 20: sometimes Ray plays five players on defense. Sometimes like this

726
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 20: last game San Francisco Steelers, he's playing thirty five. But

727
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:18,800
Speaker 20: he played really really physical, He covered well, He was

728
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 20: a man, a man A lot on those guys played

729
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 20: with great effort, played with great spirit and made a big,

730
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 20: big contribution. So we got some good contributions from those guys.

731
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 20: It just wasn't the guys on the outside.

732
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 12: Jim, there going to be summer coaching openings when after Sunday?

733
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 2: Did you want to be a head coach again?

734
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 20: Yeah, I've answered that question a lot of times, and

735
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 20: I just want to keep the focus on the Cincinnati Bengals,

736
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 20: like we need to finish with a win. We felt

737
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 20: good about last week and coming out with a win

738
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 20: against a division ponent, not just a division ponent, but

739
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 20: a team that was I mean it was it was

740
00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:00,880
Speaker 20: a sort of a quasi playoff game because if they won,

741
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 20: they were in. And we didn't want those guys putting

742
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 20: the hats and T shirts on in our stadium. I

743
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 20: know our fans didn't want to see that, and we

744
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 20: we certainly recognize and respect the history of the Steelers

745
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:15,319
Speaker 20: and the Cleveland Browns, So we took a lot of

746
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:17,920
Speaker 20: pride in that, and you know, we'll take a lot

747
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 20: of pride in this game.

748
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:21,400
Speaker 5: And we'll keep the focus. We'll keep the focus on that.

749
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:21,879
Speaker 2: Yeah.

750
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 12: I understand that, But do you just talked about the

751
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 12: itch to do to be a coach?

752
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:31,319
Speaker 5: No, No, I've I've answered that.

753
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:34,359
Speaker 20: I've answered that enough times, and I think I'm gonna

754
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:36,640
Speaker 20: I'm gonna respect this game and keep the focus on

755
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:39,720
Speaker 20: this game because anything else is not what we're focused

756
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:40,360
Speaker 20: on this week.

757
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:47,000
Speaker 6: Let's talk about Sorry, Jeff, what do you guys place

758
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 6: Buffalo Josh rolling away from him a lot more?

759
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:51,800
Speaker 2: Have you noticed teams?

760
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:54,440
Speaker 6: Teams are obviously gonna scheme away from Miles, But have

761
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:57,799
Speaker 6: you noticed is this season has gone on teams more

762
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:01,920
Speaker 6: dramatically than even they would adore do going you know,

763
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:04,960
Speaker 6: to play designs and everything going away from Miles.

764
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 20: Well, I mean yeah, I mean, he's he's been on

765
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 20: a pace for NFL record, you know, and and that's

766
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 20: going to get anybody's attention, and you know, and you

767
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:19,200
Speaker 20: know everybody's going to try to scheme. And we're on defense.

768
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:22,319
Speaker 20: We say, okay, what are the what are the best

769
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:25,439
Speaker 20: weapons that an offense has, and how can we try

770
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 20: to neutralize those weapons while playing within our personality?

771
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:30,759
Speaker 5: Well, opponents do the same thing.

772
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:33,759
Speaker 20: Opponents opponents No, I mean, like like, and I've said

773
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:36,719
Speaker 20: this before, it's corny thing to say, but you know,

774
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 20: he's he's almost six foot five, he's two hundred and

775
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:42,799
Speaker 20: eighty pounds, he wears number ninety five, he's easy to find.

776
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 5: You know, you're not going to hide him anywhere.

777
00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:47,839
Speaker 20: He's going to get attention wherever wherever he goes, So

778
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:51,040
Speaker 20: you know, you expect opponents to do those things. I

779
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:53,400
Speaker 20: think for the most part of the year, we did

780
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 20: a good job of making people pay that took that

781
00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:59,359
Speaker 20: that that strategy, and a guy that was really really

782
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 20: important part that was Malik Collins. And you know, Millie

783
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:06,839
Speaker 20: got hurt and you know, hopefully we can get him

784
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:09,920
Speaker 20: back and humming again next year because that makes a

785
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 20: world of difference for guys like Miles when when I

786
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:15,520
Speaker 20: mean just like, if you're an offense and you got

787
00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:17,640
Speaker 20: a receiver and they decide they want to take that

788
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 20: receiver out and roll coverage to him and double him

789
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:22,319
Speaker 20: and everything else, if you've got other dudes that can,

790
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:25,680
Speaker 20: you know, make them pay for that, then you're in

791
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:27,719
Speaker 20: good shape. And I think it just falls on the

792
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:30,000
Speaker 20: other ten guys on the field to make the offense

793
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:33,240
Speaker 20: pay when they try to take that approach.

794
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 4: With Miles, it was always good, but how transitens he

795
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:39,279
Speaker 4: been coming off it.

796
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:42,880
Speaker 20: So it feels like you didn't Yeah, you know, you

797
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:45,839
Speaker 20: look at their numbers when he's been the quarterback this year,

798
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:48,560
Speaker 20: and you know, third top of the league and just

799
00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:51,719
Speaker 20: about everything number one and third down and you know

800
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:54,880
Speaker 20: right up there and you know, points and red zone

801
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:56,759
Speaker 20: and everything else. You know, he's one of the best

802
00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:59,279
Speaker 20: quarterbacks in the NFL. Have always had respect for him

803
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:01,799
Speaker 20: because not only is he a talented player, but he

804
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:08,439
Speaker 20: plays tough. You know, uses his weapons, gets them out

805
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:10,920
Speaker 20: of bad plays and into good plays. He can extend

806
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:12,759
Speaker 20: the play, but he can also throw it quick from

807
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:16,440
Speaker 20: the pocket. So you know, we respect our opponents. We

808
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:19,759
Speaker 20: don't fear him, you know, but you know, it's a

809
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:22,120
Speaker 20: it's a that's a tough matchup. And you know, I

810
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:25,240
Speaker 20: mean last week we played a you know, the Slam

811
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:28,359
Speaker 20: Dunk Hall of Famer, and you know we were up

812
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:30,719
Speaker 20: for that challenge and Josh Allen the week before and

813
00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 20: you know, really it was the run in those first

814
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:36,080
Speaker 20: couple of series. But you know, I thought our guys

815
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:38,560
Speaker 20: were up to that challenge. And you know, I hope

816
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:41,399
Speaker 20: we'll be up to this challenge too.

817
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 11: After Miles contract thing and all that, he challenged him

818
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:47,520
Speaker 11: to have a career year and you know said with

819
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:50,520
Speaker 11: that comes to the responsibility.

820
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:51,319
Speaker 5: Yeah, my Spider Man.

821
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:53,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you.

822
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:57,040
Speaker 11: Know, since I hear you found a way to get

823
00:37:57,239 --> 00:37:59,959
Speaker 11: more and more out of Miles. It seems each year,

824
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:03,960
Speaker 11: just you your thoughts on what you've seen from him.

825
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:07,000
Speaker 20: Well, it's easy for me, you know, I don't have

826
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:08,759
Speaker 20: to go out and do it. He's the one that

827
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:10,759
Speaker 20: has to go out and do it. I just say this,

828
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 20: he has really been on a mission. This is when

829
00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:17,600
Speaker 20: he signed that contract and committed to coming back.

830
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:19,040
Speaker 5: He's really been on a mission.

831
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 20: And I mean, you guys, you guys don't see practice,

832
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:26,160
Speaker 20: you know the way we do. But you saw training camp,

833
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:28,480
Speaker 20: and I mean you have to. I mean, was that

834
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:30,840
Speaker 20: the best training camp you seen him from? Miles Garrett.

835
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 20: I mean, it's best training camp I've seen, you know.

836
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:38,160
Speaker 20: So I think that has that has something to do

837
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:41,280
Speaker 20: with the success that he's had. He's been very driven.

838
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:44,280
Speaker 20: He's been trying to carry the load. He's been taken.

839
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:47,960
Speaker 20: He's not afraid of the spotlight. He's been out in that.

840
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 20: He's been good leader for us. He's played the run. Well,

841
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:55,720
Speaker 20: I know I've banged that drum probably too many times,

842
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:57,600
Speaker 20: but I'm just really proud of the way that he

843
00:38:57,600 --> 00:38:58,400
Speaker 20: plays the run.

844
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 5: And he's been he's been a wrecker on on offense

845
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 5: and just so I hope we.

846
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:05,799
Speaker 20: Can finish strong and and set him up to have

847
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:06,799
Speaker 20: success in this game.

848
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:10,520
Speaker 5: Also when he.

849
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:15,439
Speaker 20: Was lifted, well, if it would have been anybody else,

850
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:17,839
Speaker 20: I might have been worried. But like I mean, during

851
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:21,719
Speaker 20: the during the game, you know, I'd hit Tarv, I

852
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:24,200
Speaker 20: hit Jason Tarvor, and I'd be like, hey, look do

853
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:27,799
Speaker 20: we need to get him out? And and he's like,

854
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:29,759
Speaker 20: let him go, let him go, let him go. And

855
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:33,960
Speaker 20: I was talking to him after every series and he

856
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:34,760
Speaker 20: just said, I can.

857
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:36,360
Speaker 7: Do my job, and.

858
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:39,800
Speaker 5: You know, and and he could.

859
00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:43,880
Speaker 20: You know, those last series. What we were trying to

860
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:46,440
Speaker 20: do in the last series is his cars was right

861
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:49,080
Speaker 20: in the middle of our defense to take those inbreakers away,

862
00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:52,680
Speaker 20: you know, whether it was the you know, the slants

863
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:55,279
Speaker 20: and you know all that different stuff. He's perfect right

864
00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:57,319
Speaker 20: in those windows. He's breaking on the ball. So he

865
00:39:57,400 --> 00:40:00,319
Speaker 20: was able to still go out and do his job.

866
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:04,799
Speaker 20: It's really been an honor to coach that kid, you know.

867
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:07,200
Speaker 20: And it's again it's a little bit like Miles. It's

868
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:13,560
Speaker 20: easy for me, but he's he's done, he's done everything,

869
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:17,040
Speaker 20: and he's played extremely tough.

870
00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:17,960
Speaker 5: You know.

871
00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 20: Going back to the ankle, sprain, but he's been you know,

872
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:24,560
Speaker 20: he's been all over the injury report. He prepares the same,

873
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:27,680
Speaker 20: he goes out and plays effectively. And I think some

874
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:30,319
Speaker 20: of the some of the plays that I think he's

875
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:32,560
Speaker 20: played the best, or plays that you guys might not

876
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:36,399
Speaker 20: notice because he'll take something away in the passing game

877
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:39,399
Speaker 20: or he'll play the like perfectly in the run game

878
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:40,840
Speaker 20: that somebody else will make the play.

879
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:43,720
Speaker 5: And he's been a good leader for us.

880
00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:47,319
Speaker 20: He's increased that as the season's going on, and I

881
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:50,799
Speaker 20: look forward to seeing him even take greater strides as

882
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:55,120
Speaker 20: a as a player. Really a cement block for our defense,

883
00:40:55,200 --> 00:41:00,680
Speaker 20: and I think defensive Rookie of the Year. Okay, all right,

884
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:03,520
Speaker 20: hey and guys, I just want to thank you for

885
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:06,440
Speaker 20: the year. Like I know, a lot of times you

886
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:08,960
Speaker 20: guys got tough questions to ask and everything else, but

887
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 20: I've never felt that you had an agenda other than

888
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:15,480
Speaker 20: trying to get the right answers and trying to find

889
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:17,719
Speaker 20: out the true story behind it. I don't think you

890
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:21,480
Speaker 20: guys have been like some other people trying to be inflammatory.

891
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:24,279
Speaker 5: You're trying to create stories. And it's always been a

892
00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:27,239
Speaker 5: pleasure to come out here and meet with you guys.

893
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:30,480
Speaker 1: Special teams coordinator Bubba Van Trone laid out his goals

894
00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:32,520
Speaker 1: for the final game of the season head.

895
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:35,799
Speaker 13: Into this season finale. What are you hoping for from

896
00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:36,720
Speaker 13: from teams?

897
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:38,399
Speaker 21: And what are you looking for.

898
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:39,239
Speaker 13: You know, sort of specifically.

899
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:41,920
Speaker 22: Yeah, I mean Cincinnati's well coached. Darren's been there for

900
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:44,520
Speaker 22: a long time, have played in coached against.

901
00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:45,040
Speaker 23: Him a good bit.

902
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:50,000
Speaker 22: They have a really good group, very fundamentally sound, really

903
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:53,480
Speaker 22: good returners, good core group of players that have done

904
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:55,480
Speaker 22: a good job this year, and good specialists.

905
00:41:56,680 --> 00:41:58,840
Speaker 23: So looking to build off the last few weeks.

906
00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:03,359
Speaker 22: I feel like we definitely made some strides with with

907
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 22: our young players, and I think that they're playing extremely

908
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:08,960
Speaker 22: hard and you know, I thought we did a good

909
00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:11,160
Speaker 22: job last week of coming out and playing physical in

910
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:11,600
Speaker 22: that game.

911
00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:14,440
Speaker 23: So that's a that's a positive, and I think I

912
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:15,200
Speaker 23: think you can see that.

913
00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:17,279
Speaker 22: I think you see it, you know, the improvement that

914
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:18,680
Speaker 22: we've made over the last couple of weeks.

915
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:21,040
Speaker 18: I know it's been turning up and down for Cory

916
00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:24,160
Speaker 18: this year, but to get that punt, yeah, when you

917
00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:28,080
Speaker 18: guys needed how big was that for for Cory himself

918
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:30,280
Speaker 18: and for you know, for temas.

919
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:33,360
Speaker 22: A big, big, big play in the game. Obviously flipped

920
00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:37,040
Speaker 22: the field. Yeah, I think that it was. It was

921
00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:39,520
Speaker 22: a critical time in the game where we needed to

922
00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:42,400
Speaker 22: play and he and he came through for us.

923
00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:44,759
Speaker 9: I guess might a bunch of times, but to make

924
00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:46,520
Speaker 9: that fifty yard of me, you know, look at you

925
00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:49,600
Speaker 9: guys on the board, yeap, just how far he's come

926
00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:52,520
Speaker 9: and I guess what have you seen? It's allowed him

927
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:54,799
Speaker 9: to be so much better as he or now?

928
00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:57,200
Speaker 23: Yeah, I think that well.

929
00:42:57,200 --> 00:43:00,560
Speaker 22: I am very excited about his his development over the season.

930
00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:06,480
Speaker 22: He's worked extremely hard, he's been very consistent every day,

931
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:11,840
Speaker 22: and he's definitely improved a lot as the season's gone along.

932
00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:13,680
Speaker 23: He's been he's.

933
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:16,800
Speaker 22: Had really good weeks of practice and it's really trans

934
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:20,440
Speaker 22: translated over into the game. You know, he's done a

935
00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:23,799
Speaker 22: really good job with that. So operations have been good

936
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:26,759
Speaker 22: and he's been he's been consistent, he really has. He's

937
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:29,719
Speaker 22: done a really good job and in practice too.

938
00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:32,200
Speaker 16: For as much as you talk about maybe like the

939
00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:34,920
Speaker 16: youth of this the special teams group and you know,

940
00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:37,000
Speaker 16: some of the ups and downs, is there like any

941
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:38,840
Speaker 16: any player that maybe you can point to on the

942
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:41,480
Speaker 16: coverage units, Gunn or anything like that that is really

943
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:44,480
Speaker 16: you know, you know, make you happy with his development?

944
00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:47,160
Speaker 22: Is yeah, I would, I would say honestly, Uh, Donovan

945
00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:49,360
Speaker 22: McMillan's done a really good job for us, you know,

946
00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:53,560
Speaker 22: getting kind of like thrown into the mix early on

947
00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:57,840
Speaker 22: and not having really played gunner at all, and because

948
00:43:57,840 --> 00:44:02,800
Speaker 22: of where we were at with the perimeter, the guys

949
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:04,759
Speaker 22: on the perimeter and we need, we had a need

950
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:08,480
Speaker 22: out there, and he kind of just like, hey, you're

951
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:11,480
Speaker 22: you're gonna go do this. And as of like last week,

952
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:13,760
Speaker 22: he's had the most reps at gunner.

953
00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:14,480
Speaker 23: In the entire NFL.

954
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:17,359
Speaker 22: And then we ended up being able to get him

955
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:20,279
Speaker 22: really back to his where he's more best suited at

956
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:22,759
Speaker 22: it is at PP. So he's played at PP the

957
00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:25,719
Speaker 22: last two weeks. He's done a good job with that.

958
00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:29,479
Speaker 22: We trained him throughout the spring and in training camp

959
00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:31,200
Speaker 22: to be able to do that and take on that role,

960
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:34,200
Speaker 22: you know, hoping that he could do it, because that's

961
00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:36,480
Speaker 22: a tough position. It's the quarterback of the unit. Uh

962
00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:41,560
Speaker 22: So I think that being able to get the gunners

963
00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:45,839
Speaker 22: out there now with we've played you know, Trey and

964
00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:49,640
Speaker 22: d Loo out there, enables us to get Donovan back inside.

965
00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:53,279
Speaker 23: So he's, uh, he's done a good job. He really has.

966
00:44:53,320 --> 00:45:01,440
Speaker 22: He prepares well, so.

967
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:01,560
Speaker 9: You know which you guys had a couple of band

968
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:05,359
Speaker 9: seasons in wrong why you know, the speculation all over.

969
00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:07,760
Speaker 9: So I'm just curious, how do you deal with that personally?

970
00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:10,120
Speaker 2: How do you think it improved the coaching?

971
00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:15,360
Speaker 22: Yeah, honestly, I'm honestly just focused about going out and

972
00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:19,560
Speaker 22: having a good performance against Cincinnati. I am excited about

973
00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:22,440
Speaker 22: the development of the the young players that have been

974
00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:28,279
Speaker 22: out there, Like we just mentioned about Dre and Donovan and.

975
00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:28,760
Speaker 23: You know Rex.

976
00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:31,319
Speaker 22: I mean Rex looks like a completely different player, Like

977
00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:35,160
Speaker 22: how we how we worked and how we drilled him

978
00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:38,080
Speaker 22: this springing and training camp to get to where he's

979
00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:40,759
Speaker 22: at and his protection with his footwork, he hit the

980
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:43,279
Speaker 22: weight room like like being able to see improvements and

981
00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:47,080
Speaker 22: players like that have had me excited about, you know,

982
00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:54,719
Speaker 22: this team.

983
00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:51,799
Speaker 9: That's come up.

984
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:56,239
Speaker 19: It all among the team, Like, is there any you know,

985
00:45:56,800 --> 00:46:00,080
Speaker 19: thoughts on beyond this week, Like does anyone look in

986
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:00,520
Speaker 19: head or.

987
00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:00,960
Speaker 2: Anything like that.

988
00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:04,759
Speaker 22: No, honestly, we just we've been just focused on week

989
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:07,640
Speaker 22: to week. I mean that's how that's really how it's been.

990
00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:10,680
Speaker 22: I'm sure people speculate, but.

991
00:46:12,280 --> 00:46:12,719
Speaker 23: I really am.

992
00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:15,480
Speaker 22: I'm excited about the guys that have developed over the

993
00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:18,600
Speaker 22: course of the season, especially like the young, young guys

994
00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:20,160
Speaker 22: that have have factored for us.

995
00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:23,359
Speaker 3: That approach kind of comes from Kevin.

996
00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:25,000
Speaker 21: That's what we hear from guys over and over again

997
00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:26,960
Speaker 21: is He's just the same guy every day.

998
00:46:27,080 --> 00:46:28,400
Speaker 5: So so how much that comes from him?

999
00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:32,440
Speaker 23: Yeah, I do think it comes It stems from Kevin.

1000
00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:34,359
Speaker 22: But and I do think that it is the right

1001
00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:38,360
Speaker 22: approach to take because look, everyone's going to have opinions

1002
00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:39,279
Speaker 22: on you.

1003
00:46:39,200 --> 00:46:41,640
Speaker 23: Should do this, you should do that right.

1004
00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:43,719
Speaker 22: Just focus on your job and doing what you can

1005
00:46:43,719 --> 00:46:46,000
Speaker 22: do and control what you can control. I mean, that's

1006
00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:47,840
Speaker 22: the best way to handle it in my opinion. So

1007
00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:51,040
Speaker 22: I think we've done a good job of that. I

1008
00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:53,920
Speaker 22: think this team has played extremely hard, especially like you

1009
00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:55,840
Speaker 22: go back and watch the last two weeks of football,

1010
00:46:56,120 --> 00:46:58,440
Speaker 22: Like we've played, We've played hard as a team. We've

1011
00:46:58,440 --> 00:47:01,040
Speaker 22: played together, we've stuck together, And I think that that's

1012
00:47:01,080 --> 00:47:03,640
Speaker 22: a good sign, you know, and that obviously stems down

1013
00:47:03,680 --> 00:47:04,359
Speaker 22: from the head coach.

1014
00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:06,480
Speaker 24: All young guys.

1015
00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:07,239
Speaker 23: On this football team.

1016
00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:10,920
Speaker 13: Do you feel like the future is really right with

1017
00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:11,600
Speaker 13: this roster?

1018
00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:16,400
Speaker 22: I do I mean, I do I feel like and

1019
00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:19,359
Speaker 22: I know that it at times it doesn't feel like that,

1020
00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:22,200
Speaker 22: you know, and it cannot feel like that. But if

1021
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:24,640
Speaker 22: you really do look at like how many young players

1022
00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:27,920
Speaker 22: we have that are playing in the games, it's it's

1023
00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:33,239
Speaker 22: way more than other teams. So obviously every team has

1024
00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:35,280
Speaker 22: areas where they need to improve.

1025
00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:37,200
Speaker 23: Which I'm sure we will do.

1026
00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:40,120
Speaker 22: So I am excited about the young players that have

1027
00:47:40,160 --> 00:47:41,239
Speaker 22: contributed for our team.

1028
00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:42,600
Speaker 23: Happy New Year.

1029
00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:45,200
Speaker 1: Tight Ends coach Christian Jones talked about how his unit

1030
00:47:45,239 --> 00:47:48,520
Speaker 1: could look without Harold Fan and Junior this weekend, heading

1031
00:47:48,560 --> 00:47:49,839
Speaker 1: into now with a.

1032
00:47:49,760 --> 00:47:51,799
Speaker 13: Little bit of I guess uncertainty over whether or not

1033
00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:55,080
Speaker 13: Harold's going to be able to play, and then you

1034
00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:57,719
Speaker 13: probably know we're not sure about David YETI either, So

1035
00:47:58,320 --> 00:47:59,400
Speaker 13: you know what's that like for you?

1036
00:48:01,080 --> 00:48:04,400
Speaker 25: Obviously it's up to the coach and whenever whatever decision

1037
00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:06,799
Speaker 25: we make, we'll we'll walk with. But I mean it's

1038
00:48:06,840 --> 00:48:09,160
Speaker 25: it's we go by committee in the room. Everybody's got

1039
00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:11,400
Speaker 25: to be ready to do their job and help the

1040
00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:15,920
Speaker 25: team win, right that's one running, catching the ball, blocking

1041
00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:16,600
Speaker 25: out in space.

1042
00:48:16,719 --> 00:48:18,560
Speaker 7: We all understand our role and we understand what we

1043
00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:18,920
Speaker 7: have to do.

1044
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:21,440
Speaker 25: So, I think everybody's excited and ready to go and

1045
00:48:21,680 --> 00:48:23,840
Speaker 25: finish the finish the year strong with a win.

1046
00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:28,640
Speaker 8: Harold got injured. When Harold got injured last week, he

1047
00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:30,280
Speaker 8: was so adamant he was going to play and obviously

1048
00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:32,200
Speaker 8: did try to play. Just how have you seen that

1049
00:48:32,480 --> 00:48:35,200
Speaker 8: fighting him, because it seems like just such a part

1050
00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:37,319
Speaker 8: of who he is that he's going to do everything

1051
00:48:37,400 --> 00:48:37,920
Speaker 8: and try to be.

1052
00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:38,560
Speaker 9: Out there for a day.

1053
00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:41,680
Speaker 25: Yeah, he's he's a very tough player. I'll give him that.

1054
00:48:41,719 --> 00:48:43,279
Speaker 25: He's very tough. He always tries to go out there

1055
00:48:43,280 --> 00:48:44,480
Speaker 25: and do what he can for the team to win,

1056
00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:47,960
Speaker 25: and he fights through a lot of things, whether it's

1057
00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:49,880
Speaker 25: a nick's a bump, like anything he has, he's going

1058
00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:51,080
Speaker 25: to do his best to go out there and play.

1059
00:48:51,120 --> 00:48:53,160
Speaker 25: And you know, even when I'm out there watching them

1060
00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:54,960
Speaker 25: play and I'm like, okay, I can I'm kind of

1061
00:48:54,960 --> 00:48:58,279
Speaker 25: counting down when he's probably gonna be out, He's still

1062
00:48:58,320 --> 00:49:01,560
Speaker 25: powered through and it's you know, it's a testament to

1063
00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:03,120
Speaker 25: him that he finished with the catch and the touchdown

1064
00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:05,720
Speaker 25: like he did, because he works so hard for those things.

1065
00:49:07,360 --> 00:49:10,080
Speaker 9: He feels like it's been a difficult season for him. Obviously,

1066
00:49:10,280 --> 00:49:12,399
Speaker 9: double injuries. I've seen him in handle it.

1067
00:49:13,160 --> 00:49:15,600
Speaker 25: Nothing but positivity. That's all Dave is is. He's a

1068
00:49:15,640 --> 00:49:17,839
Speaker 25: mountain of positivity. He walks in the building every day,

1069
00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:20,600
Speaker 25: he's got a smile on his face. He's supporting his teammates,

1070
00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:23,359
Speaker 25: supporting everybody in the room. I mean, he's he tries

1071
00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:24,600
Speaker 25: to lead in that way and he does a great

1072
00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:25,160
Speaker 25: job of it.

1073
00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:27,759
Speaker 9: He's got a little bit of an uncertain future here

1074
00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:29,240
Speaker 9: flash year his contract.

1075
00:49:30,680 --> 00:49:32,120
Speaker 2: Do you think he's got a bunch of good to

1076
00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:32,480
Speaker 2: your last?

1077
00:49:33,360 --> 00:49:33,560
Speaker 5: Yeah?

1078
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:34,040
Speaker 7: Absolutely.

1079
00:49:34,200 --> 00:49:36,440
Speaker 25: I think it's up to him how he decides to

1080
00:49:36,440 --> 00:49:40,000
Speaker 25: approach this offseason, how he decides to approach, you know,

1081
00:49:40,040 --> 00:49:41,920
Speaker 25: the end of his career. I think he can do

1082
00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:44,040
Speaker 25: anything he wants to. He's got that in him. So,

1083
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:46,719
Speaker 25: you know, it's been rough with all the injuries he's had.

1084
00:49:46,880 --> 00:49:48,640
Speaker 25: That always, that always is difficult when that holds a

1085
00:49:48,680 --> 00:49:51,680
Speaker 25: player back. But we've seen what he can do when

1086
00:49:51,719 --> 00:49:53,759
Speaker 25: he gets out there on the field and he has opportunities,

1087
00:49:53,880 --> 00:50:00,239
Speaker 25: So I think there's still a lot left in him.

1088
00:50:00,239 --> 00:50:02,359
Speaker 21: Like Sunday one, obviously you don't have David, you don't

1089
00:50:02,360 --> 00:50:04,799
Speaker 21: have Harold, so guys like Blake and Salad and some

1090
00:50:04,840 --> 00:50:07,239
Speaker 21: of those other guys in your room have to step up.

1091
00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:07,880
Speaker 2: Do you do you take a.

1092
00:50:07,880 --> 00:50:10,160
Speaker 21: Little extra pride when when they get their opportunity and

1093
00:50:10,200 --> 00:50:10,640
Speaker 21: make plays.

1094
00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:12,799
Speaker 25: I wouldn't call it pride. I think I'm just really

1095
00:50:12,800 --> 00:50:14,879
Speaker 25: excited for him. I don't, you know, Like I said,

1096
00:50:14,920 --> 00:50:19,520
Speaker 25: I don't. I don't give myself any credit for what

1097
00:50:19,560 --> 00:50:21,239
Speaker 25: the guys go out there and do, right, I just

1098
00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:23,640
Speaker 25: take pride in that they know what to do. Them

1099
00:50:23,680 --> 00:50:26,000
Speaker 25: executing and them making the plays is all up to them.

1100
00:50:26,080 --> 00:50:27,839
Speaker 25: So I think I'm just really excited to go watch

1101
00:50:27,880 --> 00:50:30,680
Speaker 25: those guys make plays, and whoever's out on the field

1102
00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:33,160
Speaker 25: make plays, and see those guys go do their thing

1103
00:50:33,160 --> 00:50:33,520
Speaker 25: out there.

1104
00:50:35,320 --> 00:50:36,960
Speaker 2: It's not going to harold the company sto.

1105
00:50:37,360 --> 00:50:40,880
Speaker 7: And he said he thought he proved that he was.

1106
00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:42,400
Speaker 9: A good blocker, and he put it up for that

1107
00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:44,680
Speaker 9: tape this year. And we've talked to you in the past,

1108
00:50:44,680 --> 00:50:46,800
Speaker 9: and that's a question coming out of it. Yeah, well agreed,

1109
00:50:46,880 --> 00:50:49,680
Speaker 9: But just how have you seen him and he's developed

1110
00:50:49,680 --> 00:50:52,759
Speaker 9: in that area? You agree that that he's proved that

1111
00:50:52,880 --> 00:50:53,480
Speaker 9: side of issue.

1112
00:50:53,840 --> 00:50:54,959
Speaker 7: Yeah, he's done a good job.

1113
00:50:55,040 --> 00:50:58,839
Speaker 25: I would say it's really the growth in dealing with

1114
00:50:58,880 --> 00:51:04,120
Speaker 25: the different looks that you can get from defenses in

1115
00:51:04,200 --> 00:51:08,520
Speaker 25: a game, I think it's always a lot more variety

1116
00:51:08,719 --> 00:51:12,080
Speaker 25: from the defensive line to the linebackers to the safeties,

1117
00:51:12,560 --> 00:51:14,799
Speaker 25: and him being able to deal with those things as

1118
00:51:14,840 --> 00:51:18,600
Speaker 25: we've gone through the year has been definitely been a positive.

1119
00:51:18,960 --> 00:51:21,040
Speaker 25: And I would say the positions he's blocked from, he's

1120
00:51:21,080 --> 00:51:23,120
Speaker 25: been out in space, block and he's blocked in line.

1121
00:51:23,400 --> 00:51:24,919
Speaker 25: We've asked him to get back in the full backs,

1122
00:51:24,920 --> 00:51:26,759
Speaker 25: block and block, and he's done a great job at

1123
00:51:26,760 --> 00:51:29,120
Speaker 25: all those spots. And I think as his knowledge of

1124
00:51:29,160 --> 00:51:31,360
Speaker 25: the game and the offense grows, I think it'll only

1125
00:51:31,400 --> 00:51:33,040
Speaker 25: be it'll only grow from there.

1126
00:51:33,960 --> 00:51:36,279
Speaker 16: This is your first year like overseeing an entire tight

1127
00:51:36,360 --> 00:51:39,239
Speaker 16: ends room, right, And I know you've like over coached

1128
00:51:39,280 --> 00:51:41,520
Speaker 16: other positions, but what was that experience like this year

1129
00:51:41,560 --> 00:51:43,960
Speaker 16: and maybe how is it different from coaching other positions.

1130
00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:46,040
Speaker 25: Yeah, so this is my first time running a room

1131
00:51:46,040 --> 00:51:49,400
Speaker 25: in general, I've only been assistant or a GA. So

1132
00:51:49,880 --> 00:51:51,920
Speaker 25: I would say the first things first, I try to

1133
00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:53,200
Speaker 25: approach it the way I played.

1134
00:51:52,960 --> 00:51:55,520
Speaker 7: And be the only person I know how to be,

1135
00:51:55,560 --> 00:51:55,960
Speaker 7: and that's me.

1136
00:51:56,320 --> 00:51:58,600
Speaker 25: And you know, whether it connects or not, I'll find

1137
00:51:58,600 --> 00:52:00,000
Speaker 25: my way to connect with the guys in the room.

1138
00:52:00,200 --> 00:52:04,120
Speaker 25: I would say tight ends were very comparable with quarterbacks.

1139
00:52:04,120 --> 00:52:06,880
Speaker 25: They're really smart, they're hard working. I mean, they're just

1140
00:52:07,040 --> 00:52:09,120
Speaker 25: obviously a little more athletic, depend on who they are, right,

1141
00:52:09,200 --> 00:52:13,600
Speaker 25: But I would say it's it's been great. I think

1142
00:52:13,640 --> 00:52:16,000
Speaker 25: football players are all the same. They all got different motivations,

1143
00:52:16,080 --> 00:52:21,920
Speaker 25: whether it's money, wins, you know, stats, whatever.

1144
00:52:21,719 --> 00:52:22,000
Speaker 7: It may be.

1145
00:52:22,040 --> 00:52:24,160
Speaker 25: Everybody's got their own motivation and it's on me to

1146
00:52:24,239 --> 00:52:28,680
Speaker 25: find that factor and help them understand that that correlates

1147
00:52:28,680 --> 00:52:31,040
Speaker 25: to the team winning, and right, the team winning also

1148
00:52:31,080 --> 00:52:32,640
Speaker 25: correlates to their success as well.

1149
00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:35,760
Speaker 16: So like lean on Kevin a little bit more, especially

1150
00:52:35,760 --> 00:52:37,520
Speaker 16: because he has like a background with tight Ends and

1151
00:52:37,520 --> 00:52:39,920
Speaker 16: overall just supposed to like, you know, you know, coaching

1152
00:52:40,040 --> 00:52:41,880
Speaker 16: with him and being part of his staff.

1153
00:52:42,400 --> 00:52:46,520
Speaker 25: Yeah, I think getting opportunity from him in the first

1154
00:52:46,560 --> 00:52:49,600
Speaker 25: place kind of told me I felt and what he

1155
00:52:49,719 --> 00:52:50,239
Speaker 25: believed in.

1156
00:52:50,440 --> 00:52:53,000
Speaker 7: And yes, I leaned on Kevin a lot.

1157
00:52:53,760 --> 00:52:55,680
Speaker 25: I leaned on Tommy a lot, right because he was

1158
00:52:55,719 --> 00:52:58,160
Speaker 25: in the room before, and he had his own processes

1159
00:52:58,160 --> 00:53:01,239
Speaker 25: and his own routine for dealing with those guys. So

1160
00:53:01,239 --> 00:53:02,800
Speaker 25: I'd say I asked both of them a lot of

1161
00:53:02,880 --> 00:53:05,880
Speaker 25: questions how to handle things, how to handle different situations,

1162
00:53:05,920 --> 00:53:09,640
Speaker 25: how to approach different situations. Every day is different, right,

1163
00:53:09,680 --> 00:53:10,799
Speaker 25: so like how can I go in there and be

1164
00:53:10,800 --> 00:53:11,879
Speaker 25: consistent like I think?

1165
00:53:12,920 --> 00:53:14,120
Speaker 7: And they were both very helpful.

1166
00:53:14,320 --> 00:53:17,799
Speaker 25: I'm very thankful with opportunity and to have this opportunity

1167
00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:19,439
Speaker 25: in this building with them, It's been great.

1168
00:53:20,360 --> 00:53:22,719
Speaker 8: You talked from he was the position coach and networked that.

1169
00:53:23,360 --> 00:53:26,520
Speaker 8: You know, it's tight ends encompassed so many parts of

1170
00:53:26,560 --> 00:53:29,279
Speaker 8: the offense that can make a coach a better coach

1171
00:53:29,400 --> 00:53:31,319
Speaker 8: in that way, just giving you get more full picture

1172
00:53:31,320 --> 00:53:33,359
Speaker 8: of you. I guess, did you experience that that part

1173
00:53:33,360 --> 00:53:33,520
Speaker 8: of it?

1174
00:53:33,560 --> 00:53:34,040
Speaker 3: Do you think that's a.

1175
00:53:34,040 --> 00:53:35,360
Speaker 7: Pair assessment I did.

1176
00:53:36,760 --> 00:53:38,759
Speaker 25: I would say, you know, my knowledge of the run

1177
00:53:38,800 --> 00:53:41,600
Speaker 25: game I was really something I worked on last year

1178
00:53:42,360 --> 00:53:45,239
Speaker 25: when I was in New York, and I thought I

1179
00:53:45,280 --> 00:53:47,680
Speaker 25: had a grasp until I got here and I, you know,

1180
00:53:47,960 --> 00:53:50,480
Speaker 25: still found out there's so much more to it and

1181
00:53:52,080 --> 00:53:54,719
Speaker 25: learning more about protections, how to speak, protections, how to

1182
00:53:54,920 --> 00:53:55,680
Speaker 25: and really what.

1183
00:53:55,600 --> 00:53:56,319
Speaker 7: It is is.

1184
00:53:58,440 --> 00:54:01,600
Speaker 25: You know, I'll say like this, you go into the

1185
00:54:01,640 --> 00:54:04,520
Speaker 25: room and you try to speak the language of the playbook,

1186
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:07,640
Speaker 25: and sometimes that doesn't really connect with everybody.

1187
00:54:07,760 --> 00:54:09,160
Speaker 7: And I always thought.

1188
00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:11,040
Speaker 25: Like you know, the best way to explain things are

1189
00:54:11,120 --> 00:54:13,319
Speaker 25: usually the best cultures of the best teachers, because that's

1190
00:54:13,320 --> 00:54:15,040
Speaker 25: what we are, are the ones that can make things

1191
00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:16,640
Speaker 25: that are really complicated be really simple.

1192
00:54:17,040 --> 00:54:17,160
Speaker 2: Right.

1193
00:54:17,239 --> 00:54:18,560
Speaker 25: So I'd be in the room like, hey, guys are

1194
00:54:18,560 --> 00:54:19,560
Speaker 25: gonna do this. We're one of the nice one. Wee

1195
00:54:19,560 --> 00:54:20,399
Speaker 25: out out and I use all.

1196
00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:21,799
Speaker 7: These words, and the guy like, we just leave too,

1197
00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:23,560
Speaker 7: Like hey, right, we can just leave too.

1198
00:54:23,680 --> 00:54:23,839
Speaker 2: Right.

1199
00:54:23,880 --> 00:54:26,720
Speaker 25: So, like, learning how to be simple in my language

1200
00:54:26,760 --> 00:54:28,520
Speaker 25: and learn how to be simple and how I describe

1201
00:54:28,560 --> 00:54:33,040
Speaker 25: things has been probably the biggest taking point I've had

1202
00:54:33,120 --> 00:54:34,960
Speaker 25: from this with Harold.

1203
00:54:35,040 --> 00:54:37,239
Speaker 13: What does this say about Harold and the season he

1204
00:54:37,600 --> 00:54:40,480
Speaker 13: had then he was able to make Pro Bowl as

1205
00:54:40,520 --> 00:54:41,880
Speaker 13: an alternate as a rookie.

1206
00:54:42,160 --> 00:54:42,840
Speaker 7: It's impressive.

1207
00:54:42,920 --> 00:54:45,279
Speaker 25: I think it speaks to his talent level, his work,

1208
00:54:45,880 --> 00:54:49,320
Speaker 25: his work ethic on and off the field, and I

1209
00:54:49,400 --> 00:54:51,400
Speaker 25: think he's just he's naturally gifted and I think we

1210
00:54:51,440 --> 00:54:54,040
Speaker 25: all saw that and how he plays right and I

1211
00:54:54,040 --> 00:54:56,480
Speaker 25: think it's a testament to him. And now it's just

1212
00:54:56,560 --> 00:54:57,960
Speaker 25: it's up to him how he wants to approach his

1213
00:54:57,960 --> 00:54:59,160
Speaker 25: next year and see if he wants to take that

1214
00:54:59,200 --> 00:55:01,600
Speaker 25: next step and you know, shoot for an All Pro right,

1215
00:55:01,680 --> 00:55:04,400
Speaker 25: so I have all the belief in the world in

1216
00:55:04,480 --> 00:55:04,960
Speaker 25: him and.

1217
00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:07,440
Speaker 7: I can't wait to see what happens next year. Awesome,

1218
00:55:07,440 --> 00:55:07,879
Speaker 7: Thank y'all.

1219
00:55:07,920 --> 00:55:10,600
Speaker 1: Safety's coach ephrom Bonda talked about his unit, which has

1220
00:55:10,600 --> 00:55:12,799
Speaker 1: been a stalwart in the Browns secondary this year.

1221
00:55:12,840 --> 00:55:16,239
Speaker 13: What are you looking for specifically from You've got some

Speaker 26: to see them do is finish.

1227
00:55:26,360 --> 00:55:26,759
Speaker 23: That's it.

1228
00:55:27,000 --> 00:55:30,160
Speaker 26: I mean, we came in this thing in off season

1229
00:55:30,520 --> 00:55:33,879
Speaker 26: camp and training camp and we talked about putting good

1230
00:55:33,880 --> 00:55:38,000
Speaker 26: stuff on tape, about getting better about reaching personal goals.

1231
00:55:38,120 --> 00:55:40,080
Speaker 27: Unfortunately didn't reach all the team goals.

1232
00:55:40,440 --> 00:55:42,160
Speaker 26: I want to see this group just finish the way

1233
00:55:42,200 --> 00:55:45,040
Speaker 26: we talked about, and I thought we did a good

1234
00:55:45,120 --> 00:55:47,360
Speaker 26: job of that in the last game, you know, just

1235
00:55:47,480 --> 00:55:51,799
Speaker 26: kind of starting the process of finishing, and we did

1236
00:55:51,840 --> 00:55:54,800
Speaker 26: that last week. I thought Grant played lights out rocket

1237
00:55:54,880 --> 00:55:56,920
Speaker 26: another solid game. I think he's five tackles away from

1238
00:55:57,000 --> 00:55:59,120
Speaker 26: hitting one hundred tackle mark for the first time in

1239
00:55:59,200 --> 00:56:02,080
Speaker 26: his career. Uh And I thought Ray Sewn played really good.

1240
00:56:02,120 --> 00:56:03,400
Speaker 26: So that was the start of the finish.

1241
00:56:03,440 --> 00:56:06,120
Speaker 27: I want to see his finish.

1242
00:56:06,320 --> 00:56:09,319
Speaker 16: Jim Sports talked about Ronnie Hickman and heard he said,

1243
00:56:09,360 --> 00:56:11,120
Speaker 16: like in the past he was good at like putting

1244
00:56:11,120 --> 00:56:13,160
Speaker 16: out fires, but now you guys need him to like

1245
00:56:13,200 --> 00:56:14,719
Speaker 16: make more plays on them all and just be more

1246
00:56:14,719 --> 00:56:16,880
Speaker 16: of a play maker. What have you seen from the

1247
00:56:16,880 --> 00:56:18,439
Speaker 16: growth of Ronnie and how he's been able to kind.

1248
00:56:18,320 --> 00:56:19,520
Speaker 7: Of step into a bigger role this year.

1249
00:56:19,800 --> 00:56:21,920
Speaker 26: Yeah, no, And that was a big point of emphasis

1250
00:56:21,960 --> 00:56:26,399
Speaker 26: this year for a rocket. You know, problem solvers number one,

1251
00:56:26,719 --> 00:56:30,279
Speaker 26: you can't start them, for sure, can't start them, but

1252
00:56:30,320 --> 00:56:32,040
Speaker 26: you got to be capable of putting him out, which

1253
00:56:32,080 --> 00:56:34,840
Speaker 26: he's proven he can do in terms of communication, getting

1254
00:56:34,840 --> 00:56:37,839
Speaker 26: guys a line, fast, calls the right call. You know,

1255
00:56:38,200 --> 00:56:40,560
Speaker 26: Offenses get paid a lot of money, Coaches getting paid

1256
00:56:40,560 --> 00:56:44,000
Speaker 26: a lot of money to create problems and throw hard

1257
00:56:44,080 --> 00:56:46,120
Speaker 26: questions out at you, and he's done a good job

1258
00:56:46,160 --> 00:56:49,839
Speaker 26: of answering those. In terms of making plays, you know,

1259
00:56:49,920 --> 00:56:51,200
Speaker 26: I thought he did a good job.

1260
00:56:51,040 --> 00:56:52,880
Speaker 27: This year when we had the opportunities.

1261
00:56:54,160 --> 00:56:57,759
Speaker 26: You know that those types of situations, they're different for

1262
00:56:57,840 --> 00:57:01,520
Speaker 26: every team in every situation. You know, for us, when

1263
00:57:01,560 --> 00:57:04,160
Speaker 26: we had opportunities to make the plays on a ball

1264
00:57:04,960 --> 00:57:05,520
Speaker 26: or a team was.

1265
00:57:05,520 --> 00:57:06,800
Speaker 27: Getting after in that situation.

1266
00:57:06,960 --> 00:57:08,560
Speaker 26: I thought he did a good job coming up with

1267
00:57:08,800 --> 00:57:11,920
Speaker 26: the situations and being there to get the ball when

1268
00:57:11,960 --> 00:57:12,319
Speaker 26: it came.

1269
00:57:12,800 --> 00:57:16,480
Speaker 16: What specifically does like solving the problem putting out fires

1270
00:57:16,480 --> 00:57:17,920
Speaker 16: from the back end of the safety diustrum?

1271
00:57:18,000 --> 00:57:18,720
Speaker 3: What does that look like?

1272
00:57:19,280 --> 00:57:23,160
Speaker 26: You know, it's an offense presenting a problem that or

1273
00:57:23,200 --> 00:57:25,240
Speaker 26: when I say problem, I mean like a question to

1274
00:57:25,320 --> 00:57:27,600
Speaker 26: the defense that we have not covered in the meeting

1275
00:57:27,960 --> 00:57:30,360
Speaker 26: because it's new, you know, that's their job. They're going

1276
00:57:30,440 --> 00:57:33,040
Speaker 26: to do something different. And that's when you got to

1277
00:57:33,080 --> 00:57:35,080
Speaker 26: be able to go out there and say, you know what,

1278
00:57:35,120 --> 00:57:37,360
Speaker 26: I got the tools to fix this. Let's use this

1279
00:57:37,480 --> 00:57:40,720
Speaker 26: tool and let's do this right away. It could be,

1280
00:57:40,880 --> 00:57:44,360
Speaker 26: you know, maybe something happens where a guy isn't where

1281
00:57:44,400 --> 00:57:47,080
Speaker 26: they need to be, or maybe he solved a different way.

1282
00:57:47,440 --> 00:57:51,320
Speaker 26: Can you immediately fix the thing and get us right

1283
00:57:51,440 --> 00:57:53,640
Speaker 26: and get us aligned or get us in the right

1284
00:57:53,720 --> 00:57:56,120
Speaker 26: check or call or just be okay. He went there,

1285
00:57:56,160 --> 00:57:58,080
Speaker 26: I got this, and that's what it looks like for him.

1286
00:57:58,080 --> 00:58:02,800
Speaker 26: And Rocket is a highly intelligent human being, and more importantly,

1287
00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:06,120
Speaker 26: he's a very quick processor, like that guy whatever the

1288
00:58:06,160 --> 00:58:08,360
Speaker 26: newest phone stuff is now, like he's got that.

1289
00:58:10,280 --> 00:58:13,320
Speaker 8: What about Rayshan and what he's added this year kind

1290
00:58:13,320 --> 00:58:15,160
Speaker 8: of it seems like, you know, stepping into that role

1291
00:58:15,200 --> 00:58:17,760
Speaker 8: that Rod used to have for you guys.

1292
00:58:17,680 --> 00:58:21,320
Speaker 26: And what is he brought, you know, just the vet presence,

1293
00:58:21,360 --> 00:58:23,680
Speaker 26: the OG presence that we needed in that room that

1294
00:58:23,720 --> 00:58:25,960
Speaker 26: I felt like going into this year we were going

1295
00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:28,200
Speaker 26: to have to replace with losing Rod.

1296
00:58:29,520 --> 00:58:30,280
Speaker 27: He's been amazing.

1297
00:58:30,320 --> 00:58:32,400
Speaker 26: It's been a blessing for me just coaching him his

1298
00:58:32,400 --> 00:58:35,200
Speaker 26: senior year ten years ago to now. It's just been

1299
00:58:35,360 --> 00:58:37,720
Speaker 26: one of those fun things in coaching that I'll never forget.

1300
00:58:38,960 --> 00:58:39,680
Speaker 27: He's brought that.

1301
00:58:39,840 --> 00:58:43,560
Speaker 26: He's also brought a physical presence to our defense.

1302
00:58:43,280 --> 00:58:45,160
Speaker 27: In that spot that I felt like we needed.

1303
00:58:45,720 --> 00:58:47,280
Speaker 26: You saw that in the last game. He played really

1304
00:58:47,320 --> 00:58:50,000
Speaker 26: really well. He played great in the Miami game. Anytime

1305
00:58:50,040 --> 00:58:53,280
Speaker 26: we've asked ray to step in and get extra snaps

1306
00:58:53,320 --> 00:58:56,200
Speaker 26: and be a factor, he's done it. And he did

1307
00:58:56,240 --> 00:58:58,760
Speaker 26: exactly what we needed for this team this year. His

1308
00:58:59,080 --> 00:59:02,160
Speaker 26: VET presence, his attitude, his mentality. You guys don't get

1309
00:59:02,160 --> 00:59:04,480
Speaker 26: to see him in the meeting room, like the sharing

1310
00:59:04,880 --> 00:59:08,320
Speaker 26: knowledge with guys like Don and Chris and even Rocket.

1311
00:59:08,880 --> 00:59:11,680
Speaker 26: So he just was everything we ever needed. It's a

1312
00:59:11,720 --> 00:59:13,840
Speaker 26: blessing as a coach to be able to coach him again.

1313
00:59:14,000 --> 00:59:16,080
Speaker 26: It's been awesome to see the man he's grown into,

1314
00:59:16,160 --> 00:59:18,360
Speaker 26: the father, the husband, and the player.

1315
00:59:19,200 --> 00:59:21,040
Speaker 21: Grant had to take on a little more of that too,

1316
00:59:21,160 --> 00:59:23,440
Speaker 21: kind of oh yeah, even though he's still kind of

1317
00:59:23,440 --> 00:59:23,920
Speaker 21: a young guy.

1318
00:59:24,240 --> 00:59:26,080
Speaker 26: No, And that was the biggest thing for Grant going

1319
00:59:26,080 --> 00:59:28,080
Speaker 26: into the season was just let's take the next step

1320
00:59:28,120 --> 00:59:30,760
Speaker 26: in that space, let's be you know, Rocket always says

1321
00:59:30,760 --> 00:59:32,800
Speaker 26: Grant lead us, you know, and that's kind of the

1322
00:59:32,880 --> 00:59:33,640
Speaker 26: quote in that room.

1323
00:59:34,160 --> 00:59:36,040
Speaker 27: And he's done that. He's done it really well.

1324
00:59:36,160 --> 00:59:39,240
Speaker 26: You know, he's been different than you know, the two

1325
00:59:39,400 --> 00:59:42,560
Speaker 26: three year league Grant to where he's at now, and

1326
00:59:42,600 --> 00:59:44,880
Speaker 26: he's growing more and more into that you know, VET

1327
00:59:45,120 --> 00:59:46,600
Speaker 26: type safety.

1328
00:59:46,480 --> 00:59:49,560
Speaker 27: And providing more vocal communication.

1329
00:59:49,720 --> 00:59:52,400
Speaker 26: Like even today we're talking about a technique and he's like, no, no, no,

1330
00:59:52,640 --> 00:59:55,439
Speaker 26: this and I'm like, yes, that's what I'm looking for.

1331
00:59:56,440 --> 00:59:58,560
Speaker 7: You think the ton and call was.

1332
01:00:00,560 --> 01:00:02,000
Speaker 2: Last me? I guess, Rachael.

1333
01:00:02,920 --> 01:00:04,640
Speaker 27: Look at the end of the day, the league is.

1334
01:00:05,040 --> 01:00:08,200
Speaker 26: It's funny, like the league's different now what they used

1335
01:00:08,200 --> 01:00:11,040
Speaker 26: to call and what they want called now is different

1336
01:00:11,080 --> 01:00:12,439
Speaker 26: than was three years ago.

1337
01:00:13,880 --> 01:00:15,920
Speaker 27: And at the end of the day, it's not.

1338
01:00:16,080 --> 01:00:19,240
Speaker 26: Whether what I think or what you think, or what

1339
01:00:19,280 --> 01:00:21,800
Speaker 26: anyone thinks it. At the end of the day, it's

1340
01:00:21,840 --> 01:00:24,440
Speaker 26: what the league wants and it's our job to adjust

1341
01:00:24,440 --> 01:00:24,720
Speaker 26: to that.

1342
01:00:25,320 --> 01:00:27,920
Speaker 27: So that's just how things work. When things change.

1343
01:00:28,320 --> 01:00:30,400
Speaker 26: You can have a feeling about it, or you can

1344
01:00:30,520 --> 01:00:34,080
Speaker 26: just adjust to what's changing and operate in the way

1345
01:00:34,080 --> 01:00:35,000
Speaker 26: that they ask you to work.

1346
01:00:35,080 --> 01:00:36,440
Speaker 27: Work, and that's all it comes down to.

1347
01:00:36,760 --> 01:00:38,120
Speaker 5: So as you head into.

1348
01:00:37,920 --> 01:00:42,760
Speaker 13: This final game, there seems to be an air of

1349
01:00:42,920 --> 01:00:45,520
Speaker 13: uncertainty about what the future is going to be like

1350
01:00:45,880 --> 01:00:50,880
Speaker 13: for everybody really, and so just wondering how are you

1351
01:00:51,080 --> 01:00:54,440
Speaker 13: approaching that, maybe not knowing exactly what's going to happen

1352
01:00:55,800 --> 01:00:58,320
Speaker 13: with Kevin or any anybody.

1353
01:00:59,600 --> 01:01:03,280
Speaker 26: Coaches have an innate ability to focus on what's right

1354
01:01:03,320 --> 01:01:05,480
Speaker 26: in front of them, probably better than most humans in

1355
01:01:05,520 --> 01:01:06,200
Speaker 26: the world.

1356
01:01:06,520 --> 01:01:08,000
Speaker 27: Our ability to just lock.

1357
01:01:07,880 --> 01:01:10,320
Speaker 26: In on what's right in front of us, which is

1358
01:01:11,080 --> 01:01:15,360
Speaker 26: Jamar Chase and Joe Burrow and t Higgins and that offense,

1359
01:01:15,440 --> 01:01:21,480
Speaker 26: a divisional rival. That's what we're focused on and we have.

1360
01:01:22,760 --> 01:01:25,800
Speaker 26: That's God's gift to us, our ability to focus.

1361
01:01:25,480 --> 01:01:28,840
Speaker 27: On right now, and that's what we're doing.

1362
01:01:29,000 --> 01:01:33,720
Speaker 26: We're completely focused on Cincinnati, a divisional opponent, and finishing

1363
01:01:33,720 --> 01:01:37,880
Speaker 26: what we started and whatever happens after that happens, and

1364
01:01:37,920 --> 01:01:40,280
Speaker 26: we'll focus on that when it's time. But right now,

1365
01:01:40,320 --> 01:01:41,960
Speaker 26: it's all about Cincinnati Bengals.

1366
01:01:42,760 --> 01:01:46,120
Speaker 28: Just talking yesterday about, you know, one of the big

1367
01:01:46,160 --> 01:01:48,959
Speaker 28: things that from going from a player to a coach

1368
01:01:49,000 --> 01:01:51,520
Speaker 28: and dealing with that blockmat, that noise and everything was

1369
01:01:51,640 --> 01:01:52,840
Speaker 28: just kind of staying off Twitter.

1370
01:01:52,840 --> 01:01:54,480
Speaker 18: Staying on social media when.

1371
01:01:54,320 --> 01:01:56,600
Speaker 6: You're in college. I mean, you kind of have to

1372
01:01:56,800 --> 01:02:00,400
Speaker 6: because of recruit and everything, a little bit be on

1373
01:02:00,480 --> 01:02:03,160
Speaker 6: there a little bit more mebi, does it help that

1374
01:02:03,200 --> 01:02:04,960
Speaker 6: when you're in the NFL and you know that stuff,

1375
01:02:06,440 --> 01:02:09,600
Speaker 6: I mean, much easier sort of to kind of lay

1376
01:02:09,600 --> 01:02:10,640
Speaker 6: off social media.

1377
01:02:10,720 --> 01:02:13,720
Speaker 26: I understand the question I see I see it differently.

1378
01:02:15,120 --> 01:02:18,120
Speaker 26: I think you're blind if you don't know what your

1379
01:02:18,120 --> 01:02:19,560
Speaker 26: players are seeing.

1380
01:02:19,640 --> 01:02:21,360
Speaker 23: It goes back to my kids.

1381
01:02:22,120 --> 01:02:24,439
Speaker 26: My kids are on social media, so therefore I better

1382
01:02:24,480 --> 01:02:26,200
Speaker 26: know what they're doing and what they're looking at, what

1383
01:02:26,240 --> 01:02:29,680
Speaker 26: they're seeing. If I'm not, then I feel like you're

1384
01:02:29,680 --> 01:02:31,880
Speaker 26: being a blind parent in the sense. Now, it doesn't

1385
01:02:31,920 --> 01:02:34,040
Speaker 26: mean you need to believe it all, and it doesn't

1386
01:02:34,040 --> 01:02:35,960
Speaker 26: mean it needs to direct you. And that's where the

1387
01:02:36,080 --> 01:02:39,440
Speaker 26: discipline of understanding and controlling your emotions has to come

1388
01:02:39,480 --> 01:02:42,640
Speaker 26: into place. But with that being said, to answer your question,

1389
01:02:43,440 --> 01:02:45,000
Speaker 26: I think you got to know what's out there and

1390
01:02:45,000 --> 01:02:48,560
Speaker 26: what's going on. If you're not, you can come somewhat

1391
01:02:48,680 --> 01:02:51,440
Speaker 26: be blinded a little bit to some things. But it

1392
01:02:51,520 --> 01:02:55,200
Speaker 26: also helps me guide my children. It helps me guide

1393
01:02:55,240 --> 01:02:58,080
Speaker 26: my son and my daughter to what is out there

1394
01:02:58,120 --> 01:02:58,520
Speaker 26: and how.

1395
01:02:58,360 --> 01:02:58,960
Speaker 27: To handle it.

1396
01:02:59,240 --> 01:03:01,520
Speaker 26: And I feel like, again, that's different maybe for me

1397
01:03:01,600 --> 01:03:03,920
Speaker 26: because I came from that world and I understood if

1398
01:03:03,960 --> 01:03:05,720
Speaker 26: you do turn a blind eye to it, what could

1399
01:03:05,800 --> 01:03:07,800
Speaker 26: the issues could be to that? But if you also

1400
01:03:07,840 --> 01:03:10,120
Speaker 26: pay attention too much to it, what it could be.

1401
01:03:10,640 --> 01:03:12,040
Speaker 26: So I maybe.

1402
01:03:11,960 --> 01:03:13,680
Speaker 27: Cut from a different cloth in that space.

1403
01:03:13,720 --> 01:03:15,560
Speaker 26: And I don't know if that's the right or wrong answer,

1404
01:03:15,880 --> 01:03:19,800
Speaker 26: but I also know that's the today answer. Appreciate you guys.

1405
01:03:19,800 --> 01:03:21,480
Speaker 26: Thank you for all the time this year. You guys

1406
01:03:21,560 --> 01:03:23,920
Speaker 26: been amazing. Have a great New Year's have a great

1407
01:03:23,960 --> 01:03:24,960
Speaker 26: twenty twenty six.

1408
01:03:25,080 --> 01:03:27,600
Speaker 1: Offensive guard Joel Buttonio is our first player up, and

1409
01:03:27,640 --> 01:03:30,200
Speaker 1: he discussed what could be in front of him this offseason.

1410
01:03:30,680 --> 01:03:34,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's very cool. The last game, thank god.

1411
01:03:35,880 --> 01:03:37,560
Speaker 29: I'm not sure, you know, like kind I talked about

1412
01:03:37,600 --> 01:03:39,920
Speaker 29: after the game last week, I'm taking it one game

1413
01:03:39,920 --> 01:03:42,960
Speaker 29: at a time. We'll see where we're out in a

1414
01:03:43,000 --> 01:03:44,960
Speaker 29: few weeks. You know, once it scene's over, body heals

1415
01:03:45,080 --> 01:03:47,080
Speaker 29: up a little bit and you know where the team

1416
01:03:47,160 --> 01:03:48,880
Speaker 29: is at. And there's a lot of factors that come

1417
01:03:48,880 --> 01:03:52,000
Speaker 29: into it. But I'm just gonna, you know, treat it

1418
01:03:52,040 --> 01:03:54,120
Speaker 29: like a game. I might take it in for a second,

1419
01:03:54,160 --> 01:03:56,400
Speaker 29: but for me, I'm just trying to focus and try

1420
01:03:56,440 --> 01:03:58,040
Speaker 29: and help the team anyway possible.

1421
01:03:58,240 --> 01:04:01,919
Speaker 9: Okay, how much you think you came Are you glad?

1422
01:04:01,960 --> 01:04:04,080
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, are you glad you came back to Yeah?

1423
01:04:04,080 --> 01:04:04,560
Speaker 2: I am glad.

1424
01:04:04,880 --> 01:04:06,720
Speaker 29: The wins aren't there, obviously, that's what you play the

1425
01:04:06,720 --> 01:04:09,840
Speaker 29: game for, is winning. You know, you wish you could

1426
01:04:10,560 --> 01:04:11,880
Speaker 29: find a way to be like, oh, we're playing for

1427
01:04:11,880 --> 01:04:14,120
Speaker 29: a playoff spot this week or something like that. So

1428
01:04:14,160 --> 01:04:17,400
Speaker 29: that part's disappointing. But the camaraderie with the guys, like

1429
01:04:17,440 --> 01:04:21,400
Speaker 29: the locker room, the meeting room, like you don't get

1430
01:04:21,400 --> 01:04:24,840
Speaker 29: that anywhere else, and so I've been very happy with that.

1431
01:04:25,160 --> 01:04:28,320
Speaker 24: Joe, You've been through, Uh, you know, this season's one.

1432
01:04:28,160 --> 01:04:31,160
Speaker 3: Of yours questions about the future. You know, weather Cavin's

1433
01:04:31,200 --> 01:04:36,080
Speaker 3: going to be bad? Changes is this tho this month.

1434
01:04:36,520 --> 01:04:40,840
Speaker 8: Felt different than maybe threeviest months for that of course,

1435
01:04:40,920 --> 01:04:43,880
Speaker 8: you know, hanging over those questions that were being asked.

1436
01:04:45,640 --> 01:04:47,880
Speaker 29: I think it feels similar every time you're have a

1437
01:04:47,920 --> 01:04:49,439
Speaker 29: bad year. You know, the uh.

1438
01:04:50,720 --> 01:04:51,640
Speaker 3: The questions are there.

1439
01:04:51,760 --> 01:04:54,040
Speaker 29: You guys need something to talk about, you know, and

1440
01:04:54,120 --> 01:04:56,800
Speaker 29: so you guys ask the questions and the uh.

1441
01:04:57,440 --> 01:04:59,040
Speaker 3: You know, the future, it's the future of the team.

1442
01:04:59,080 --> 01:05:00,840
Speaker 29: Like we we won three games last year, won four

1443
01:05:00,840 --> 01:05:02,160
Speaker 29: games this year, so there's gonna be those.

1444
01:05:02,120 --> 01:05:05,400
Speaker 3: Questions for the players. We got to focus.

1445
01:05:05,200 --> 01:05:08,840
Speaker 29: On on playing the game, and I think Coachefanski and

1446
01:05:08,880 --> 01:05:10,520
Speaker 29: the staff has done a really good job of keeping

1447
01:05:10,520 --> 01:05:11,240
Speaker 29: that the focus.

1448
01:05:13,080 --> 01:05:14,040
Speaker 3: But since the Fantasy has.

1449
01:05:13,960 --> 01:05:16,200
Speaker 29: Been here, there's obviously more questions, and there has been

1450
01:05:16,240 --> 01:05:19,520
Speaker 29: because we've had a lot more success, So it's part.

1451
01:05:19,360 --> 01:05:21,840
Speaker 3: Of it, but that part's definitely up.

1452
01:05:21,840 --> 01:05:22,280
Speaker 2: A little bit.

1453
01:05:25,920 --> 01:05:37,680
Speaker 30: You can be feeling like kind of special conversation, but

1454
01:05:38,120 --> 01:05:39,840
Speaker 30: obviously a great mentime Ju and timers.

1455
01:05:41,560 --> 01:05:42,640
Speaker 3: What does that mean?

1456
01:05:43,720 --> 01:05:45,000
Speaker 31: What does it mean?

1457
01:05:47,120 --> 01:05:52,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's pretty cool. I appreciate that that comes across.

1458
01:05:52,280 --> 01:05:55,640
Speaker 29: Since I've got here learning from Joe and Alex and

1459
01:05:55,680 --> 01:05:58,800
Speaker 29: Greck and and short. It's like those guys were, you know,

1460
01:05:58,840 --> 01:06:01,000
Speaker 29: said the standard before me, and all I want to

1461
01:06:01,000 --> 01:06:03,120
Speaker 29: do was a little up to a standard of I'm

1462
01:06:03,120 --> 01:06:04,720
Speaker 29: gonna be here every day, I'm gonna do my best,

1463
01:06:04,840 --> 01:06:07,720
Speaker 29: my personal best, and hopefully that helps the Cleveland Browns,

1464
01:06:07,800 --> 01:06:11,360
Speaker 29: you know. And so to get that across and and

1465
01:06:11,360 --> 01:06:13,800
Speaker 29: and see that from some of your teammates is pretty special.

1466
01:06:22,320 --> 01:06:24,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's tough. You never want to see someone get.

1467
01:06:24,560 --> 01:06:27,720
Speaker 29: Banged up, and and uh, he's given a lot this team,

1468
01:06:27,760 --> 01:06:31,080
Speaker 29: you know, like the playoff runs, the Pro Bowl seasons,

1469
01:06:31,120 --> 01:06:33,880
Speaker 29: all those things are are in the history books, you know,

1470
01:06:33,920 --> 01:06:36,680
Speaker 29: and he's he's probably been a guy who played online

1471
01:06:36,720 --> 01:06:38,880
Speaker 29: with the most in this league, you know, seven years.

1472
01:06:40,120 --> 01:06:43,680
Speaker 29: And so for him to go out like that, it's unfortunate.

1473
01:06:43,760 --> 01:06:45,640
Speaker 29: And you don't know the future. You don't know what's happening,

1474
01:06:47,480 --> 01:06:48,919
Speaker 29: you know. I wish we could all just be like, hey,

1475
01:06:48,920 --> 01:06:50,400
Speaker 29: we won a Super Bowl and that's how you finish

1476
01:06:50,440 --> 01:06:54,200
Speaker 29: your career. And it's it's it's hard, uh hard when

1477
01:06:54,240 --> 01:06:56,040
Speaker 29: that doesn't happen for you know, when you're at a.

1478
01:06:56,040 --> 01:07:06,320
Speaker 32: Team, when you go home, you gonna i gotta building.

1479
01:07:04,600 --> 01:07:05,120
Speaker 2: And then.

1480
01:07:06,640 --> 01:07:08,760
Speaker 29: I mean we have relationships, right, Like you have relationship

1481
01:07:08,760 --> 01:07:13,360
Speaker 29: with these guys. You build relationships with these people. You know,

1482
01:07:13,400 --> 01:07:16,400
Speaker 29: I'm not really talking to my kids about you know,

1483
01:07:16,680 --> 01:07:20,440
Speaker 29: is someone getting fined or not, but like we care

1484
01:07:20,480 --> 01:07:23,200
Speaker 29: for them. If you have a relationship with somebody, you

1485
01:07:23,240 --> 01:07:26,200
Speaker 29: obviously you know, care for them and want to see

1486
01:07:26,360 --> 01:07:28,400
Speaker 29: the best for them. So the thoughts are there, you

1487
01:07:28,440 --> 01:07:30,760
Speaker 29: know what I mean. But that's something that I'm sure

1488
01:07:31,120 --> 01:07:34,520
Speaker 29: you know, we'll we'll come across that road after Sunday.

1489
01:07:36,640 --> 01:07:39,520
Speaker 19: You said you're not thinking about your future, but I

1490
01:07:39,560 --> 01:07:41,360
Speaker 19: assume the.

1491
01:07:42,880 --> 01:07:43,640
Speaker 21: Staff all those like.

1492
01:07:44,560 --> 01:07:45,320
Speaker 30: A big factory.

1493
01:07:46,360 --> 01:07:48,720
Speaker 29: Yeah, it's all a factor. I think number one is

1494
01:07:49,480 --> 01:07:52,400
Speaker 29: my health, my family, like all that is is the

1495
01:07:52,400 --> 01:07:56,040
Speaker 29: biggest thing. But then yeah, coaching staff, who the players

1496
01:07:56,040 --> 01:07:58,240
Speaker 29: are going to be, you know, direction of the organization,

1497
01:07:58,280 --> 01:08:10,360
Speaker 29: all those things are are fact a new decisions. Yeah,

1498
01:08:10,400 --> 01:08:13,280
Speaker 29: you know, I thought the draft class, I've talked about

1499
01:08:13,320 --> 01:08:15,720
Speaker 29: it a bunch, but just the type of people they

1500
01:08:15,720 --> 01:08:18,920
Speaker 29: are is pretty special. And then the players they are

1501
01:08:19,200 --> 01:08:21,320
Speaker 29: helped out a lot, you know. And and I think

1502
01:08:21,400 --> 01:08:23,240
Speaker 29: when you have a couple of good running backs, you know,

1503
01:08:23,280 --> 01:08:25,880
Speaker 29: a tight end that's making those plays. Some young quarterbacks

1504
01:08:26,320 --> 01:08:29,080
Speaker 29: that have shown some really flashes in there, Like there's

1505
01:08:29,080 --> 01:08:31,000
Speaker 29: a lot to build on. You have draft picks coming up,

1506
01:08:31,040 --> 01:08:34,240
Speaker 29: you have free agency, you know, and I think they're

1507
01:08:34,240 --> 01:08:36,800
Speaker 29: the right character guys, which is which is big if

1508
01:08:36,800 --> 01:08:38,760
Speaker 29: you can, you know, have those guys start to lead

1509
01:08:38,800 --> 01:08:41,680
Speaker 29: a younger offense, Like it's gonna be big steps for him.

1510
01:08:41,720 --> 01:08:45,240
Speaker 29: But I mean you have like just good people and

1511
01:08:45,280 --> 01:08:47,799
Speaker 29: good players, which it is hard to come by sometimes

1512
01:08:47,800 --> 01:08:49,479
Speaker 29: and when you have it, when you have both, you know,

1513
01:08:49,520 --> 01:08:50,360
Speaker 29: it's pretty special.

1514
01:08:50,479 --> 01:08:53,720
Speaker 1: Up next, safety Grant Delpit, who always relishes the opportunity

1515
01:08:53,720 --> 01:08:56,280
Speaker 1: to go up against his old college teammate at LSU,

1516
01:08:56,479 --> 01:08:57,160
Speaker 1: Joe Burrows.

1517
01:09:01,800 --> 01:09:02,160
Speaker 19: Perfect.

1518
01:09:02,360 --> 01:09:03,840
Speaker 33: Yeah, you know, it's been a long time since we've

1519
01:09:03,840 --> 01:09:07,000
Speaker 33: seen this team. Feels like an eternity, you know, but

1520
01:09:07,040 --> 01:09:08,240
Speaker 33: we're still familiar.

1521
01:09:07,840 --> 01:09:08,800
Speaker 5: With what they can do.

1522
01:09:09,120 --> 01:09:12,559
Speaker 33: Yeah, you know, it looks like Joe's back healthy.

1523
01:09:13,640 --> 01:09:14,439
Speaker 2: You know, I feel like.

1524
01:09:14,360 --> 01:09:15,640
Speaker 33: Trying to get the ball out of his hands a

1525
01:09:15,680 --> 01:09:18,200
Speaker 33: little bit more, a little sooner. Uh, but you know,

1526
01:09:18,280 --> 01:09:20,439
Speaker 33: still fighting for extra yards. I'm looking looking to throw

1527
01:09:20,439 --> 01:09:21,800
Speaker 33: the ball down the field so about.

1528
01:09:21,880 --> 01:09:22,120
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1529
01:09:22,320 --> 01:09:25,160
Speaker 33: Yeah, they look back to the you know, the part

1530
01:09:25,280 --> 01:09:26,160
Speaker 33: how you're trying up.

1531
01:09:26,120 --> 01:09:29,519
Speaker 3: Your first season, the plays skate.

1532
01:09:30,800 --> 01:09:32,719
Speaker 33: Uh, you know, personally, I think I left some players

1533
01:09:32,760 --> 01:09:34,600
Speaker 33: out there. Of course, you know, you always look on

1534
01:09:35,040 --> 01:09:39,400
Speaker 33: Stuffy coulda did better, but you know, obviously not where

1535
01:09:39,439 --> 01:09:42,040
Speaker 33: we wanna be as a team. So I think, uh,

1536
01:09:42,120 --> 01:09:44,920
Speaker 33: you know, personal accolades everybody besides Miles, I don't think

1537
01:09:44,960 --> 01:09:45,680
Speaker 33: that matters.

1538
01:09:45,479 --> 01:09:48,040
Speaker 34: Right now much.

1539
01:09:48,120 --> 01:09:49,040
Speaker 2: Just us.

1540
01:09:49,240 --> 01:09:50,559
Speaker 8: Well, I'm tryna just struggle.

1541
01:09:50,920 --> 01:09:55,880
Speaker 3: Uh what do you think going out two seasons like

1542
01:09:55,960 --> 01:09:57,000
Speaker 3: this back to the OS?

01:09:57,439 --> 01:10:00,000
Speaker 8: Yeah, you guys just feel like itself.

1544
01:10:00,400 --> 01:10:04,160
Speaker 33: Yeah, yeah, obviously you don't wanna waste you know, precious

1545
01:10:04,160 --> 01:10:06,280
Speaker 33: time that we have. But I don't look at this

1546
01:10:06,360 --> 01:10:08,960
Speaker 33: time wasted. I just you know, everybody got hard things

1547
01:10:09,000 --> 01:10:13,200
Speaker 33: going on, and it's a blessed, blessed position to be

1548
01:10:13,280 --> 01:10:16,040
Speaker 33: in this game that we play. So I obviously just

1549
01:10:16,040 --> 01:10:19,240
Speaker 33: wanna make the most opportunity that we have here. And

1550
01:10:20,240 --> 01:10:22,240
Speaker 33: you know, if that don't translate to wins, it's just

1551
01:10:22,520 --> 01:10:26,760
Speaker 33: translating to taking steps towards achieving that goal as soon

1552
01:10:26,800 --> 01:10:27,360
Speaker 33: as possible.

1553
01:10:27,479 --> 01:10:27,680

1576
01:11:31,920 --> 01:11:35,120
Speaker 31: It's great, said, Uh, it's the fact that there could

1577
01:11:35,200 --> 01:11:37,920
Speaker 31: be coach you can cause affect you or do you

1578
01:11:38,000 --> 01:11:41,599
Speaker 31: guys just come to work and it really doesn't fact

1579
01:11:41,760 --> 01:11:42,400
Speaker 31: off the capital.

1580
01:11:42,960 --> 01:11:44,559
Speaker 33: Yeah, you know, I think you said it. I think

1581
01:11:44,680 --> 01:11:47,000
Speaker 33: you just gotta come to work in and do what

1582
01:11:47,040 --> 01:11:49,080
Speaker 33: you could do. You know, I don't call the players,

1583
01:11:49,880 --> 01:11:51,880
Speaker 33: you know, so that has nothing to do with me.

1584
01:11:52,360 --> 01:11:57,320
Speaker 3: But we keep in good at gays throughout the season.

1585
01:11:57,840 --> 01:12:00,800
Speaker 29: Is it important to you guys to finish for giving

1586
01:12:00,880 --> 01:12:04,560
Speaker 29: what how you played against Pittsburgh get that.

1587
01:12:05,200 --> 01:12:06,840
Speaker 33: Yeah, I think it comes down to trying to be

1588
01:12:06,840 --> 01:12:08,880
Speaker 33: the best. You know, I think we'd like number two

1589
01:12:08,880 --> 01:12:12,960
Speaker 33: pass defense right now. I don't know about Todyard. I

1590
01:12:12,960 --> 01:12:15,479
Speaker 33: think we number two toty yards. So I don't think

1591
01:12:15,520 --> 01:12:18,000
Speaker 33: it's ever been done, like not making the playoffs and

1592
01:12:18,080 --> 01:12:21,120
Speaker 33: been in the top toty yards defense. So trying to

1593
01:12:21,120 --> 01:12:23,000
Speaker 33: get it done.

1594
01:12:23,200 --> 01:12:24,719
Speaker 5: Got contract.

1595
01:12:24,840 --> 01:12:26,439
Speaker 35: Do you think your player has kind of bearded a

1596
01:12:26,479 --> 01:12:26,840
Speaker 35: new deal?

1597
01:12:26,960 --> 01:12:28,479
Speaker 2: Is that something that you maybe like.

1598
01:12:28,439 --> 01:12:30,639
Speaker 33: To see you off since Yeah, I mean I think

1599
01:12:30,920 --> 01:12:32,680
Speaker 33: that's let's talk to my agent and stuff like that.

1600
01:12:32,760 --> 01:12:35,360
Speaker 2: So I'm just trying to do all i can do

1601
01:12:35,360 --> 01:12:36,880
Speaker 2: to help the team With defensive tackle.

1602

1606
01:12:52,720 --> 01:12:55,240
Speaker 34: up to, you know, my standard, but started to hit

1607
01:12:55,280 --> 01:12:58,280
Speaker 34: a little stride. I feel like I'm just trying to

1608
01:12:58,439 --> 01:13:01,920
Speaker 34: been trying to elevate every week. I feel like I've

01:14:06,320 --> 01:14:07,920
Speaker 34: just some good plays, but I feel like I'm starting

1634

1646
01:14:34,040 --> 01:14:36,360
Speaker 34: you know, yourself, and we kind of just took it

1647
01:14:36,439 --> 01:14:38,120
Speaker 34: upon ourselves as a defense and to kind of just

1648
01:14:38,120 --> 01:14:41,240
Speaker 34: play for you know, obviously our record was what it is.

01:16:23,920 --> 01:16:29,560
Speaker 6: Much motivations that keep feeling for next year to.

1689
01:16:28,560 --> 01:16:31,479
Speaker 34: Yeah, I've never personally been on a team that you know,

1690
01:16:31,479 --> 01:16:33,720
Speaker 34: we've lost this many games, but you know, I want

1691
01:16:34,160 --> 01:16:35,960
Speaker 34: there's the reason why they drafted me and a bunch

1692
01:16:36,040 --> 01:16:36,760
Speaker 34: of these other guys.

1693
01:16:36,800 --> 01:16:39,559
Speaker 2: So looking forward to next year.

1694
01:16:39,400 --> 01:16:42,000
Speaker 34: And I know it's the last opportunity and then kind

1695
01:16:42,000 --> 01:16:44,160
Speaker 34: of just what's in store for Cleveland to.

1696
01:16:44,200 --> 01:16:47,320
Speaker 8: Know Carson Harold obviously between seoan won't you get to

1697
01:16:47,360 --> 01:16:49,880
Speaker 8: play in this last game? But just how do you

1698
01:16:49,920 --> 01:16:52,160
Speaker 8: feel about you guys as a rookie class? And then

1699
01:16:52,240 --> 01:16:54,479
Speaker 8: like how unfortunate is if that if you guys are

1700
01:16:54,520 --> 01:16:55,719
Speaker 8: ending here over the Enjoyees.

1701
01:16:56,600 --> 01:16:59,400
Speaker 34: Uh yeah, I mean we we we were fighting out there,

1702
01:16:59,479 --> 01:17:01,000
Speaker 34: so uh kind of thought.

1703
01:17:02,479 --> 01:17:03,320
Speaker 2: But I feel like we've.

1704
01:17:03,200 --> 01:17:05,799
Speaker 34: Had a good year, you know. I feel like everyone

1705
01:17:05,840 --> 01:17:07,680
Speaker 34: has their own stuff that you know, they want to

1706
01:17:07,680 --> 01:17:10,760
Speaker 34: do or improve on or they see it in their game.

1707
01:17:10,840 --> 01:17:12,920
Speaker 34: But I feel like we've had a pretty good class,

1708
01:17:12,960 --> 01:17:16,280
Speaker 34: and yeah, we kind of just have to take more control,

1709
01:17:16,400 --> 01:17:16,720
Speaker 34: I see.

1710
01:17:16,840 --> 01:17:17,599
Speaker 2: I feel like, but.

1711
01:17:19,000 --> 01:17:21,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a toughestofpsive line.

1712
01:17:21,160 --> 01:17:23,960
Speaker 21: But you've got against to give you a teacher.

1713

01:17:26,800 --> 01:17:31,440
Speaker 2: I thought, uh, Tuney was pretty good or TUNI.

1715
01:17:31,200 --> 01:17:35,519
Speaker 21: Probably We've asked you a ton about Elite Collins there,

1716
01:17:35,520 --> 01:17:36,160
Speaker 21: what he's been to you.

01:17:36,240 --> 01:17:37,840
Speaker 3: There's a bunch of guys in here to bring him out.

1724
01:17:50,439 --> 01:17:52,479
Speaker 34: You know, he kind of he finds a way to

01:18:08,040 --> 01:18:09,599
Speaker 34: just push us to be our best, you know, just

1731
01:18:09,640 --> 01:18:11,599
Speaker 34: like we push him to be his best.

1732
01:18:11,840 --> 01:18:13,720
Speaker 21: I mean he seems at least it seems like kind

1733
01:18:13,720 --> 01:18:14,400
Speaker 21: of a quiet guy.

1734
01:18:14,479 --> 01:18:17,200
Speaker 3: It keeps himself, but I mean it's pretty approachable.

1735
01:18:17,360 --> 01:18:18,360
Speaker 2: He is.

1736
01:18:18,400 --> 01:18:19,679
Speaker 3: He kind of prickly at first.

1737
01:18:19,439 --> 01:18:20,559
Speaker 6: Once he what's he like?

1738
01:18:20,880 --> 01:18:22,200
Speaker 34: I don't know if you were to come up here,

1739
01:18:22,240 --> 01:18:25,599
Speaker 34: he'd be a quiet guy. But in the D line room, Uh,

1740
01:18:25,680 --> 01:18:27,479
Speaker 34: he's gonna just say. He's kind of a guy just

1741
01:18:27,479 --> 01:18:29,479
Speaker 34: says whatever he feels, you know, whatever comes to mind,

1742
01:18:29,479 --> 01:18:30,120

Speaker 2: Say, whether you like it or not.

1744
01:18:33,280 --> 01:18:36,479

1745
01:18:37,840 --> 01:18:40,599
Speaker 7: How is Jims talking throughout yours?

Speaker 23: How is gonna just come?

1749
01:18:46,439 --> 01:18:48,240

01:18:48,280 --> 01:18:51,080
Speaker 34: comes with his defense, you know, gives us more opportunities

1751
01:18:51,080 --> 01:18:55,400
Speaker 34: to you know, get off blocks, make more plays. So

1752
01:18:55,439 --> 01:18:57,240
Speaker 34: I feel like just kind of adapting to his scheme

1753
01:18:57,280 --> 01:18:59,640
Speaker 34: and kind of what he does is it's helped my.

1754

1777
01:20:08,920 --> 01:20:12,240
Speaker 1: Finally, Miles Garrett, who needs a half sack to tie

1778
01:20:12,520 --> 01:20:15,280
Speaker 1: and a full sack to break the single season sack

1779
01:20:15,360 --> 01:20:16,800
Speaker 1: record of the National Football League.

1780
01:20:16,840 --> 01:20:19,400

1795
01:20:57,120 --> 01:20:59,280
Speaker 24: you want to have a chance to team to the

1796
01:20:59,280 --> 01:21:00,240
Speaker 24: big dance, and we didn't do that.

1797
01:21:00,720 --> 01:21:03,000
Speaker 37: With that said, we talked so much about the success

1798
01:21:03,040 --> 01:21:05,800
Speaker 37: of the working class and how they've been able to

1799

Speaker 37: perform on the field. So quickly for you guys, So

1800
01:21:08,880 --> 01:21:11,360
Speaker 37: does that give you some kind of foundations of platforms.

1801
01:21:11,400 --> 01:21:12,960
Speaker 37: So excitement for next year to.

1802
01:21:12,960 --> 01:21:15,080
Speaker 35: See what they have been able to and really old.

1803
01:21:14,960 --> 01:21:17,800
Speaker 2: From bases at high school smoke for the future for sure.

1804
01:21:18,000 --> 01:21:20,519
Speaker 24: I mean almost all them came in and had a

1805
01:21:21,439 --> 01:21:25,920
Speaker 24: imediate impact, uh know, hitting the ground running. Those guys

1806
01:21:26,000 --> 01:21:28,280
Speaker 24: looked really good and you know, proud of you know

1807
01:21:29,000 --> 01:21:31,719
Speaker 24: how they developed, and you know how no eager eager

1808
01:21:31,800 --> 01:21:33,479
Speaker 24: they were to to learn and and uh you know

1809
01:21:33,600 --> 01:21:35,560
Speaker 24: be a part of the you know success move for

1810
01:21:36,040 --> 01:21:36,639
Speaker 24: cause last.

1811
01:21:36,479 --> 01:21:38,599
Speaker 3: Week it's good as is the defense has been.

1812
01:21:38,800 --> 01:21:39,960
Speaker 7: In the game start to finish.

1813
01:21:43,439 --> 01:21:46,679
Speaker 24: Green Made was pretty good too. So I think those

1814
01:21:46,760 --> 01:21:50,080
Speaker 24: are those are probably two best games first, you know,

1815

Speaker 24: all six minutes.

1816
01:21:52,840 --> 01:21:56,360

1829
01:22:28,800 --> 01:22:31,800

01:22:31,920 --> 01:22:34,080
Speaker 14: both things coaching staffs.

1831
01:22:33,720 --> 01:22:35,439

01:23:07,240 --> 01:23:10,559
Speaker 24: more more noise and uh uh some different years, especially

1841
01:23:10,640 --> 01:23:12,519
Speaker 24: this year with how well we've been playing on defense,

1842
01:23:12,640 --> 01:23:15,200
Speaker 24: but a hundred president in the cards, you don't get

1843
01:23:15,240 --> 01:23:17,160
Speaker 24: kind of continue to go and find ways to improof.

1844
01:23:17,400 --> 01:23:20,080
Speaker 24: Now this team has to be talent individuals, not to

1845
01:23:20,720 --> 01:23:20,920
Speaker 24: I know.

1846
01:23:21,240 --> 01:23:23,360
Speaker 8: So you want success that that's the most important thing.

1847
01:23:23,400 --> 01:23:25,040
Speaker 8: I mean to to kind of follow up though, like

1848
01:23:25,240 --> 01:23:26,320
Speaker 8: can there be success?

1849
01:23:26,400 --> 01:23:28,439
Speaker 21: Do you think if there is communities with.

1850
01:23:28,720 --> 01:23:31,519
Speaker 24: Kevin Stole here and everything, I don't know. I don't

1851
01:23:31,520 --> 01:23:33,760
Speaker 24: know what the future holds, whether it's it's with him

1852
01:23:33,960 --> 01:23:37,800
Speaker 24: or anything else. I'm gonna look forward to, you know,

1853
01:23:38,240 --> 01:23:41,479
Speaker 24: playing under whoever it is. You know, m be happy

1854
01:23:41,520 --> 01:23:44,360
Speaker 24: to be uh here and being a Brown regardless.

1855
01:23:44,439 --> 01:23:46,960
Speaker 5: So you you talk going into.

1856
01:23:46,760 --> 01:23:50,120
Speaker 6: The last offseason about having a conversation with Jimmy and

1857
01:23:50,280 --> 01:23:54,120
Speaker 6: Andrew and and all the powers that be, and they

1858
01:23:54,280 --> 01:23:56,639
Speaker 6: they they they sy they talked about their point.

1859
01:23:56,640 --> 01:23:59,840
Speaker 2: And everything in for Contenson was there.

1860
01:24:00,000 --> 01:24:01,920
Speaker 6: What do you think they said in those conversations that

1861
01:24:02,080 --> 01:24:05,559
Speaker 6: they didn't hold true to other than you know what happened,

1862
01:24:05,840 --> 01:24:06,240
Speaker 6: you know on.

1863
01:24:06,320 --> 01:24:11,400
Speaker 2: The field, maybe a little bit.

1864
01:24:11,600 --> 01:24:14,360
Speaker 24: But at the end of the day, you know, not

1865
01:24:14,439 --> 01:24:16,719
Speaker 24: everything goes as a plan, Not everything that you wanna,

1866
01:24:17,040 --> 01:24:20,679
Speaker 24: you know, happen go comes first. And so can't hold

1867
01:24:20,680 --> 01:24:22,559
Speaker 24: too much against 'em that they can see the future.

1868
01:24:22,640 --> 01:24:25,639
Speaker 24: But so gotta worry about next time.

1869
01:24:25,920 --> 01:24:28,960
Speaker 12: J Just on that Miles, when you kind of knew

1870
01:24:29,000 --> 01:24:32,479
Speaker 12: that they're gonna re sign Joe Flako before any of

1871
01:24:32,640 --> 01:24:39,040
Speaker 12: us did, right, And uh so then how s s surprised?

1872
01:24:39,080 --> 01:24:39,400
Speaker 18: Were you?

1873
01:24:39,680 --> 01:24:43,519
Speaker 31: And when they traded them, which had an effect on

1874
01:24:43,640 --> 01:24:44,120
Speaker 31: this season?

1875
01:24:46,080 --> 01:24:49,560
Speaker 24: What I mean, I was surprised as everyone else. I

1876
01:24:49,600 --> 01:24:52,280
Speaker 24: didn't you know about the news until everyone else did.

1877
01:24:52,400 --> 01:24:56,760
Speaker 24: So I just looking forward to seeing, you know, what,

1878
01:24:56,960 --> 01:24:59,040
Speaker 24: what's the plan then, you know, and just like the

1879
01:24:59,120 --> 01:25:00,880
Speaker 24: rest of us were, how we're gonna make it work?

1880
01:25:00,960 --> 01:25:03,120
Speaker 24: You know, if we're gonna sr trade you away, then

1881
01:25:03,160 --> 01:25:07,000
Speaker 24: you know we gotta find a way to uh win

1882
01:25:07,120 --> 01:25:10,559
Speaker 24: games regardless of you know who's back there and haven't

1883
01:25:10,560 --> 01:25:13,000
Speaker 24: done it enough? No, I see a couple of rookie

1884
01:25:13,000 --> 01:25:17,559
Speaker 24: second teue to grow. But it was uh it was interesting.

1885
01:25:18,360 --> 01:25:19,519
Speaker 24: But we're here now.

1886
01:25:19,800 --> 01:25:22,640
Speaker 3: How were you able to rise above the frustration?

1887
01:25:25,560 --> 01:25:31,080
Speaker 24: Got a job to do regardless of offense, special teams.

1888
01:25:31,360 --> 01:25:33,880
Speaker 24: You know, the the laps we have on on defense

1889
01:25:34,000 --> 01:25:38,080
Speaker 24: during games and you know for stretches. No, I gotta

1890
01:25:38,120 --> 01:25:40,639
Speaker 24: be the same person every time walking to every time

1891
01:25:40,640 --> 01:25:42,800
Speaker 24: I still on the field, I expect the same ninety

1892
01:25:42,840 --> 01:25:46,880
Speaker 24: five same same MG. You know, I'm making plays, speaking

1893
01:25:46,920 --> 01:25:50,880
Speaker 24: to the team, speaking to our guys, motivating, inspiring, leading,

1894
01:25:51,160 --> 01:25:54,080
Speaker 24: and uh you know, especially leading by example. So I

1895
01:25:54,360 --> 01:25:57,840
Speaker 24: I can't lapse, uh just because things are going well,

1896
01:25:58,080 --> 01:26:02,320
Speaker 24: that's not a how to get a test from the sport.

1897
01:26:03,760 --> 01:26:05,240
Speaker 13: What did you guys say to such a cow many

1898
01:26:05,360 --> 01:26:09,840
Speaker 13: tools this year and the future, celebrate Carson Mason and

1899
01:26:09,920 --> 01:26:10,160
Speaker 13: all it.

1900
01:26:10,680 --> 01:26:13,200
Speaker 21: Do you feel like, uh, it's important for.

1901
01:26:13,439 --> 01:26:15,920
Speaker 13: Your schwartz to move forward with your guys and you

1902
01:26:16,000 --> 01:26:19,519
Speaker 13: know whatever capacity and is that something that you feel.

1903
01:26:19,360 --> 01:26:20,639
Speaker 21: Is important for the defensive.

1904
01:26:22,920 --> 01:26:25,400
Speaker 24: I mean, I like Jim, I like the coaches do WHW.

1905
01:26:26,080 --> 01:26:28,559
Speaker 24: So I don't know what's gonna be in the future.

1906
01:26:29,120 --> 01:26:30,600
Speaker 24: That what I like to play in the gym, but

1907
01:26:30,680 --> 01:26:32,800
Speaker 24: I like to keep the team and you know, force

1908
01:26:32,840 --> 01:26:36,719
Speaker 24: to improve absolutely, But these are things that are handled

1909
01:26:36,760 --> 01:26:39,640
Speaker 24: by people who who sign my checks, so they make

1910
01:26:39,680 --> 01:26:42,920
Speaker 24: bigger decisions than that I can uh account for. So

1911
01:26:43,520 --> 01:26:45,120
Speaker 24: might allow them to do what they do, get my

1912
01:26:45,200 --> 01:26:48,240
Speaker 24: opinions as they they ask for it, and then you know,

1913
01:26:48,520 --> 01:26:50,400
Speaker 24: I got to rock with whoever they they have here.

1914
01:26:50,439 --> 01:26:52,920
Speaker 24: But you know, love gym and I've I love playing

1915
01:26:52,960 --> 01:26:53,439
Speaker 24: for m Jim.

1916
01:26:53,560 --> 01:26:57,240
Speaker 21: Jim has expressed interest in still being a head coach

1917
01:26:57,280 --> 01:26:57,800
Speaker 21: in this league.

1918
01:26:57,800 --> 01:26:59,920
Speaker 14: He says he aspires to the top of his profession

1919
01:27:00,080 --> 01:27:00,840
Speaker 14: just like anybody else.

1920
01:27:01,600 --> 01:27:03,439
Speaker 6: Having played under him now for a while, what would

1921
01:27:03,439 --> 01:27:05,000
Speaker 6: a Jim Schwartz head.

1922
01:27:04,840 --> 01:27:07,080
Speaker 21: Coach franchise.

1923
01:27:09,880 --> 01:27:11,479
Speaker 24: Again, I can't see him too the future, I don't

1924
01:27:11,520 --> 01:27:14,280
Speaker 24: I don't know what it'd be like. I know he

1925
01:27:14,400 --> 01:27:18,760
Speaker 24: regimented and and by very efficient, I mean that's how

1926
01:27:18,760 --> 01:27:19,719
Speaker 24: he runs it on defense.

1927
01:27:19,880 --> 01:27:22,920
Speaker 2: So I think those two s two things will hold true.

1928
01:27:22,960 --> 01:27:26,600
Speaker 24: But how it would come out to a results on

1929
01:27:26,680 --> 01:27:29,640
Speaker 24: the field, and that's always determined by us. And and

1930
01:27:30,120 --> 01:27:33,679
Speaker 24: sometimes twos can't control no injuries, and and you know, Block.

1931
01:27:33,680 --> 01:27:35,719
Speaker 11: Forgive me if we asked you this over the past

1932
01:27:35,760 --> 01:27:37,479
Speaker 11: couple of weeks, But do you feel like the.

1933
01:27:37,600 --> 01:27:40,559
Speaker 21: Record clinching sack has to look a certain way?

1934
01:27:40,880 --> 01:27:43,600
Speaker 2: No? They all count, So I don't care if I

1935
01:27:43,680 --> 01:27:47,000
Speaker 2: run his ass side of the mounds. He gets got,

1936
01:27:47,040 --> 01:27:49,200
Speaker 2: he gets got more.

1937
01:27:49,200 --> 01:27:51,280
Speaker 21: Were the list started getting published a couple of weeks ago,

1938
01:27:51,320 --> 01:27:52,840
Speaker 21: would you have known that Joe's at the top of

1939
01:27:52,840 --> 01:27:53,519
Speaker 21: the list of guys you.

1940
01:27:53,600 --> 01:27:54,200
Speaker 5: Saw the moose?

1941
01:27:54,960 --> 01:27:56,559
Speaker 2: What I've known absolutely.

1942
01:27:58,479 --> 01:28:01,519
Speaker 24: I've seen his face on the ground looking up at

1943
01:28:01,560 --> 01:28:05,479
Speaker 24: me saying high Miles and Hi Joe too many times.

1944
01:28:05,520 --> 01:28:07,400
Speaker 2: So yeah, I I figured he'd be a at the top.

1945
01:28:07,520 --> 01:28:09,080
Speaker 3: So you know him that it's him in Lamot more

1946
01:28:09,120 --> 01:28:09,759
Speaker 3: than any though.

1947
01:28:10,280 --> 01:28:13,639
Speaker 24: Well Lamar recently you have to yeah, pick up some slat. Yeah,

1948
01:28:13,760 --> 01:28:15,599
Speaker 24: he's made me miss a little bit more than everybody else.

1949
01:28:16,439 --> 01:28:19,040
Speaker 21: Miles. In the past you have it has seemed like

1950
01:28:19,080 --> 01:28:21,360
Speaker 21: you wanted the more active voice, and the decisions that

1951
01:28:21,520 --> 01:28:23,519
Speaker 21: have been made now today are saying you just kind

1952
01:28:23,520 --> 01:28:24,080
Speaker 21: of play football.

1953
01:28:24,120 --> 01:28:26,400
Speaker 3: Has your mindset changed in regards.

1954
01:28:26,080 --> 01:28:30,200
Speaker 24: To that at all has it changed? I feel like

1955
01:28:30,280 --> 01:28:33,720
Speaker 24: they they ask my opinion. Uh, you know more and

1956
01:28:33,800 --> 01:28:35,519
Speaker 24: more each year, and you know what I want and

1957
01:28:36,760 --> 01:28:38,680
Speaker 24: you know how I feel about things. But uh, that's

1958
01:28:38,680 --> 01:28:41,800
Speaker 24: for sure expect you know for a veteran and and

1959
01:28:42,000 --> 01:28:44,360
Speaker 24: a quote unquote star player, you know they they want

1960
01:28:44,439 --> 01:28:49,439
Speaker 24: to uh go try to elevate and motivate us, and

1961
01:28:49,920 --> 01:28:52,200
Speaker 24: you know that helps bring all the other guys along.

1962
01:28:52,400 --> 01:28:55,360
Speaker 24: You know we're happy that that usually mean us to

1963
01:28:55,400 --> 01:28:59,280
Speaker 24: everyone else is happy. So I'm not running into the

1964
01:28:59,360 --> 01:29:01,800
Speaker 24: meetings trying to make things happen. It's not who I am.

1965
01:29:02,080 --> 01:29:05,880
Speaker 24: But I don't I speak when speak when they uh

1966
01:29:06,120 --> 01:29:07,760
Speaker 24: they come to me. And then like I said, I

1967
01:29:07,880 --> 01:29:09,240
Speaker 24: just don't play my games.

1968
01:29:09,280 --> 01:29:10,960
Speaker 19: How are you gonna do you in then?

1969
01:29:11,040 --> 01:29:13,040
Speaker 16: Any my I don't know if you just signed some

Speaker 16: of the contract ascension you know, last off seasment.

1971
01:29:15,920 --> 01:29:17,080

01:29:17,120 --> 01:29:18,680
Speaker 7: stuff that you've told, they can get a.

1973

Speaker 2: Come up position and you can't. You know where you

1974
01:29:20,560 --> 01:29:21,080
Speaker 2: get told?

1975
01:29:21,400 --> 01:29:22,680
Speaker 26: Is this a thing where you need to like you

1976
01:29:22,720 --> 01:29:25,720
Speaker 26: know it's real credible and talk to the higher ups

1977
01:29:25,880 --> 01:29:27,200
Speaker 26: to really be on board.

1978
01:29:27,240 --> 01:29:27,880
Speaker 6: But how you play?

1979
01:29:28,360 --> 01:29:28,840
Speaker 2: You or are you?

1980
01:29:29,200 --> 01:29:32,760
Speaker 6: Or you say, you're pretty committed to the organs, are

1981
01:29:32,800 --> 01:29:33,720
Speaker 6: fully committed.

1982
01:29:33,400 --> 01:29:35,800
Speaker 7: To organization, and it's that sixtech.

1983
01:29:39,479 --> 01:29:42,120
Speaker 24: That quote Max of I'm you know, committed to winning

1984
01:29:42,479 --> 01:29:45,080
Speaker 24: and another as long as the team and organization are

1985
01:29:45,160 --> 01:29:47,240
Speaker 24: doing so and they're committed to that same thing that

1986
01:29:47,800 --> 01:29:51,519
Speaker 24: I'm all on board. But uh now we're I don't

1987
01:29:51,520 --> 01:29:55,080
Speaker 24: think of anything other than than winning, you know, tanking

1988
01:29:55,320 --> 01:29:55,919
Speaker 24: or rebuilding.

1989
01:29:56,400 --> 01:29:56,800
Speaker 2: That's not me.

01:29:58,439 --> 01:30:01,120
Speaker 21: I I'm just gonna follow the boy hoping you're.

1991
01:30:01,000 --> 01:30:04,560
Speaker 2: Expecting them to ask you before you leave, ask me

1992
01:30:04,640 --> 01:30:07,080
Speaker 2: what what you want to see happened.
