1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,400
Speaker 1: All right, we are joining with Rod Mayo here Andrew Callahan,

2
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:05,800
Speaker 1: you want to start us off? Sure, Droid? How are

3
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:08,479
Speaker 1: you man? Good? How are you Andrew? Well? Thank you?

4
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:11,119
Speaker 1: So I gotta ask playing as much bass as you

5
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:13,280
Speaker 1: guys did on Sunday, did that bring you back at all?

6
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:16,840
Speaker 1: A little bit? A little bit? But we always carry

7
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:19,239
Speaker 1: bass and we always feel comfortable playing bass against any

8
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:22,320
Speaker 1: personnel group. It's good to see and those guys did

9
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 1: a good job. Sure. So. I know I've asked about

10
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 1: Dante in the past and just checking in here kind

11
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 1: of the two month mark in the season. Have you

12
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 1: seen him, you know, after a year away, his play

13
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 1: change or anything new from him compared to what you

14
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 1: saw early in the season. You know, honestly, he's still

15
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 1: the physical player, the good pass rusher, the guy who's

16
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:42,479
Speaker 1: able to do a bunch of different things. You know it.

17
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 1: It's a pleasant surprise, you know, to see him do

18
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 1: these things again after taking a year off. So he's done.

19
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 1: He's done great for us. He's good you know in

20
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 1: the classroom, he's good on the field, smart player and

21
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 1: a great leader for this team. When you say a

22
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 1: pleasant surprise, you know, not to drill down on those

23
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: two words. But you know, did you have any sort

24
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: of expectation obviously a new situation. I'm sure he was

25
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 1: going to be the same guy in the classroom like

26
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,119
Speaker 1: you've always known him. But beyond that, yeah, I mean,

27
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: you just don't know. I think the unknown sometimes is

28
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 1: like the scary part. You know, you hope that he's

29
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 1: the same guy you saw in twenty nineteen, you know,

30
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: and you take a year off, you just don't know.

31
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: And I think that's the That's what I mean by that.

32
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:28,199
Speaker 1: Appreciate it, d I appreciate it. Oh, next question, Bob Socie. Thanks, Chris, Hey, Grodo,

33
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: how are you good? How are you good? Good? Thanks?

34
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 1: I got a question based on last night's game. And

35
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:37,319
Speaker 1: you know the new taunting rule or the emphasis on

36
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:41,839
Speaker 1: taunting and reactions by players, whether the calls are questionable

37
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 1: or not. Do you guys talk to your players at

38
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 1: all about putting yourself in position even you know, come

39
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: close to getting called for that are considered for that? Yeah,

40
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: you know, each and every week coach puts the film

41
00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 1: up here of just penalties that are questionable or rule

42
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: changes or anything like that, so you know, other guys

43
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 1: understand what they're calling you know and saying that, I

44
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: would say each you know, each group, you know, each

45
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 1: referee group. You know, they call it their own way.

46
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:14,799
Speaker 1: You know, some some people let certain things go and

47
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,359
Speaker 1: some don't. And so I would say that's the toughest part,

48
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 1: you know, is you know when the officials don't call

49
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 1: it the same each and every week. But you know,

50
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 1: that's just being a human, right. Some people see it

51
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: every way, some people don't see it that way. Absolutely,

52
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: And with regards to Cleveland on Sunday, Nick Chubb continues

53
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: to pile up yardage runs at a great clip per rush,

54
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: even with heavy boxes. You know what makes him, you know,

55
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: that extra special back even when teams are trying to

56
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,639
Speaker 1: focus on him and shut him down. Yeah, you could

57
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 1: just never take a playoff. You know. He's one of

58
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:49,959
Speaker 1: these guys that you know, he'll go for two yards,

59
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 1: three yards, four yards and then all of a sudden

60
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 1: bust out of seventy yard run on you. So there

61
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: are no plays off when he's in the backfield. And honestly,

62
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: you know, all these backs do a good job running

63
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: the ball. This offensive line, they do a good job

64
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: working together. This is this is probably our biggest challenge

65
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 1: of the year. With regards to that offensive line, I

66
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 1: know they added some tackles last last year or so,

67
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: but the interior as well. And is that as good

68
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,639
Speaker 1: an offensive line as you guys will face? Oh? Absolutely,

69
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: And they play the game the right way. You know,

70
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: those guys are physical players. You know, you look at Potonio,

71
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: you look at Teller, you know, all those guys are

72
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 1: physical players. And we like to think we have some

73
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:25,519
Speaker 1: physical players as well. So it's definitely going to be

74
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 1: an exciting matchup and hopefully our guys are up for

75
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: the challenge. Thanks Drutt. The next question Jim mcbrand, Hey, JRD,

76
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 1: how are you doing today? Good? Jim, how are you good? Good? So,

77
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: I know you have a long history with Jammy Collins,

78
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: but I just kind of wanted to get your reaction

79
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: to that interception on Sunday and did that surprise you?

80
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 1: And is there anything that he does at this point

81
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 1: that surprises you? Now? Really, you know, he's one of

82
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: the best athletes I've ever been around, you know, no

83
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: matter what position we're talking about, and talking about a

84
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 1: guy who's you know, two hundred and fifty five, two

85
00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty pounds that can you know, jump forward

86
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: inches and catch ball like great ball skills. I mean,

87
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: this guy's just an unbelievable athlete, unbelievable football player, that player.

88
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 1: You know, when I saw that play happen, it was

89
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: just like, you know, it was wow in real time,

90
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 1: you know, and I just remember, um, you know, I

91
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 1: just remember hearing coach on the headset like, you know,

92
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: that's unbelievable. And you know he's been coaching a lot

93
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: longer than I have, and that was a that was

94
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,599
Speaker 1: a great play. And what are the keys against a

95
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 1: guy like Baker who seems to be able to throw

96
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 1: on the run with as much accuracy as he does

97
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 1: from the pocket, Like, what are the keys for your guys,

98
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 1: um in defending a guy like that. Yeah, you just

99
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: have to remain discipline, you know, and you know, you

100
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 1: see the growth in Baker's game. He does a good

101
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 1: job getting the ball out of his hands quickly but

102
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 1: also finding the wide open receiver. So he does a

103
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: great job. And he's also a pretty mobile back there. Um,

104
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: so we all, you know, as far as the fronts concerned,

105
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: we've got to do a good job keeping him in

106
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: the pocket and the knee tight matches in the back end,

107
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: whether it's a man or his own. Thanks Rue, Thanks Je.

108
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: Next question shouldn't Mark Daniels as well. I actually want

109
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:05,919
Speaker 1: to ask you, but I've been feared saw when he

110
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 1: first got into the coaching ranks. How much can a

111
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: guy like that help you or help any young coach

112
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,280
Speaker 1: who's just trying to learn the way in the NFL. Yeah,

113
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 1: I appreciate the question, Mark. I've just been, you know,

114
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: a mentor for me for a long time. Even as

115
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 1: a player. Ivan would talk to me about linebacker, player

116
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 1: about you know, running back, like what he's seeing and

117
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 1: from the other side of the ball. So he's been

118
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 1: a mentor for a long time. He has a wealth

119
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,559
Speaker 1: of knowledge, not only at the pro level, but also

120
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 1: at the college rank. So I'm always bouncing ideas off

121
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,280
Speaker 1: Ivan and and look a lot. I think something that

122
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 1: gets lost, you know, with with coach Fears is just

123
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: as overall leadership and you know the amount of respect

124
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: that he has not only amongst the coaches, but amongst

125
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: the players regardless of position group. Thank you, Thanks Mark.

126
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: The next question Matthew Fairburn, Thank you, rod Um one

127
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: of asking about Jamie Collins as well. There was a

128
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:06,160
Speaker 1: few guys mentioned he's caught some field goals in practice,

129
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 1: like right at the line you mentioned you know you've

130
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: seen him make some athletic plays. I'm curious what the

131
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,159
Speaker 1: if any crazy things come to mind that you've seen

132
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,479
Speaker 1: him do athletically, or if you remember any of those

133
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 1: field goals he's snagged and practice. Yeah, I definitely remember

134
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: the field goals. That's always unbelievable. I think you guys

135
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: remember when he jumped over the center as well on

136
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 1: the field goal block team. So you know he does

137
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,279
Speaker 1: a lot of different things. Man, as guy walks around

138
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 1: on his hands, he could do handstands and everything at

139
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: turn to sixty pounds. I think it's pretty impressive. I

140
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 1: know that has nothing to do with football, but it's

141
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 1: pretty impressive. Thanks Trek, Thanks man. The last question, Chris

142
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: Ryan Are apologize who ask about Matthew already? Um, but

143
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,359
Speaker 1: just what is his ability meant to this defense and

144
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 1: also his personality in the linebacker room. What has been

145
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 1: the significan against that he has brought. I would say

146
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:04,559
Speaker 1: he picked up where he left off. You know, Jamie

147
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,719
Speaker 1: has always done a good job in the classroom. He's

148
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 1: not really a vocal person, but at the same time.

149
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 1: You could tell him something one time and he'll be

150
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: able to pick it up, or you can draw something

151
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: up on the sideline and he'll be able to pick

152
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:16,679
Speaker 1: it up. One of the smartest guys I've been around.

153
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: He's as far as just overall football intelligence. He's right

154
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: up there with High Tower in my book. A guy

155
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 1: that knows multiple positions. And you know how much we

156
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: value versatility on this team and on this defense, so

157
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 1: he stepped right in. He could play on the ball,

158
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 1: off the ball, as you can see, and also in

159
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 1: those past Russian situations, just kind of fits right in.

160
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 1: Thanks Thanks guys, great, Thanks True
