1 00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:04,640 Speaker 1: Did a good job of getting pressure on Sam on Sunday. 2 00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:08,360 Speaker 1: Is that something that is their characteristic? Yeah. I think 3 00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:10,720 Speaker 1: they do a good job. You know, they just do 4 00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:13,400 Speaker 1: a good job of you know, bringing pressures, different pressures, 5 00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:16,720 Speaker 1: also kind of faking dropping out. Uh, and can kind 6 00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:19,440 Speaker 1: of um you know, get you you know, playing zones 7 00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:21,159 Speaker 1: or you know, your first reads. You don't have to 8 00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:23,239 Speaker 1: hold the ball a little bit and and and get 9 00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,120 Speaker 1: some things down the field and and uh and so 10 00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:27,480 Speaker 1: they can just you know, they can kind of get 11 00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:29,000 Speaker 1: you in. You know, they did a good job just 12 00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:31,880 Speaker 1: um you know, calling things and and get you you know, 13 00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:34,760 Speaker 1: getting the offense in some tough place. And so uh, 14 00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:36,760 Speaker 1: we just gotta be sound. We gotta be sound on 15 00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:40,559 Speaker 1: on our rules and our protections and and um, you know, 16 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:42,800 Speaker 1: just even some of the third downs they converted were 17 00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:44,640 Speaker 1: tight and close and and just you know, third and 18 00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:46,400 Speaker 1: five and they're just getting five. So I think they 19 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:48,600 Speaker 1: do a great job on third down. And they do 20 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,320 Speaker 1: a good job first second down. Um you know kind 21 00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:54,000 Speaker 1: of you know, uh, you know, causing incompletions and causing 22 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:59,120 Speaker 1: some disruption ocous. You got some slow starts in recent year. 23 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,040 Speaker 1: And then it was one game, but is there any urgency? 24 00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:02,279 Speaker 1: Do you don't want to fall on their own two 25 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,480 Speaker 1: hole again? Yeah, I mean I think there's always there's 26 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:08,160 Speaker 1: always urgency. Uh. And you just gotta kind of understand 27 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,960 Speaker 1: the difference between you know, stressing and forcing and urgency. 28 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,640 Speaker 1: You know, I think there's um, you know, it's still 29 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 1: it's just it's still a matter of just you know, 30 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:20,399 Speaker 1: um of just having great preparation, great work. It's you know, 31 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,319 Speaker 1: starts on the practice field and just have you know, 32 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 1: understanding the game plan. Uh, and go out there and 33 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 1: and and execute. You back and watching the film, you 34 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:33,560 Speaker 1: what did you see you on the third down? For 35 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:38,000 Speaker 1: you guys obviously too for twelve is not ideal? Um, 36 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 1: how do you guys get better in those situations? And 37 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,039 Speaker 1: what do you think was the root cause of some 38 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 1: of the issues on there? Yeah, I mean every every 39 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 1: third down and be its own story. Um. You know, 40 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 1: some of are are um you know in a two 41 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 1: minutes or somewhere in um, you know, third and short, 42 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 1: we didn't we didn't convert on some of those, so 43 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 1: uh and then a couple of third and seventeens and 44 00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 1: you know, so there everything everyone's got its its own stories. 45 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 1: So it's just a matter of uh uh, you know, 46 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 1: some it's just executing better on those plays something as 47 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 1: you know had you know, tablets had some good some 48 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 1: good play calls, um, and so uh, somebody's gotta do 49 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:13,920 Speaker 1: better in person second down to get us in a 50 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,360 Speaker 1: better position and stay away from penalties and things like 51 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 1: that to back this up. So um, it's just a 52 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 1: combination of a lot of things, just but just executing 53 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:27,919 Speaker 1: you know better. It's by the gist of it, wants 54 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,080 Speaker 1: to get down one. You know, it's gonna had couple 55 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 1: just fens made more hand covered by that when you 56 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 1: just see generally yeah, I mean no, no, I mean 57 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:43,920 Speaker 1: ten is never never good for anybody, you know, I think, um, 58 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,359 Speaker 1: you know, I think it's just one of those days, 59 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 1: you know, you know, it's kind of five of the 60 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 1: first six possessions we moved the ball really well. We 61 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,920 Speaker 1: had to you know kind of a uh you know 62 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 1: one on one, three and now and that on that 63 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 1: third possession, But the other ones we moved it. We're 64 00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 1: closely kind of getting into scoring range or field goal 65 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 1: age and then got uh kind of got stalled out 66 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,120 Speaker 1: or went forward or you know, just had some um, 67 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 1: you know, you know, circumstances that you know prevented us 68 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 1: from going. So that's that's the way football goes. It's 69 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 1: just you gotta finish drives and um, you know, and 70 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 1: so after that, he's had some penalty, he's got some 71 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 1: third and longs. But I think, um, yeah, you know, 72 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 1: a matter of circumstances, we still gotta move the ball 73 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,079 Speaker 1: and just try to stay uh you know, obviously want 74 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 1: to keep the games closer where you kinda are are 75 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 1: in it, you know, in the fourth quarter and have 76 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 1: a chance to you know, score and take leads and 77 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 1: and and sustained leads. Obviously make a weapon. Well, I mean, 78 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 1: it just depends on the circumstances. Obviously, you still gotta 79 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 1: keep him involved. He's a playmaker. And if you don't, 80 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 1: if you can, if you can run in and get 81 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 1: ten yards, it's all the same as stone a pass, 82 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 1: then make it. Then make a difference from that. From 83 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 1: that aspect, you gotta get you know, you know, make 84 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 1: some plays and and get you know, get the ball 85 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 1: moving forward. So um, you know, so obviously you know, 86 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 1: hope to to stay in games and and score more 87 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 1: points early to you know, have a lead, and then 88 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 1: we can you know, uh, going into the second half 89 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 1: and then we can focus on give them the ball 90 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 1: even more. Are you with his touches others? No, it's not, 91 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 1: you know, we don't. We don't worry about touches. I 92 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 1: think we worry about execution and moving the ball and 93 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 1: and um, you know, so you have runs where you 94 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,039 Speaker 1: guarantee you get you know, get him the ball. You 95 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,800 Speaker 1: have passes where you know you might uh you can 96 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 1: get him the ball, or he might be first thing 97 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 1: to read on some and and somewhere, Hey, they cover 98 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:35,480 Speaker 1: them up and we're going to other guys and get 99 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 1: the ball down the field. There's a chance you might 100 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 1: not have Sterling this week. What do you lose if 101 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,599 Speaker 1: you don't let him in yours? Well, just you know 102 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 1: losing uh, you know, you would lose a playmaker and 103 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 1: a good player force and so um, yeah, we'll see 104 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,360 Speaker 1: what happens. Uh. And you know, but we have other 105 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,040 Speaker 1: guys that can step up and make place. Does it 106 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,600 Speaker 1: make you feel comfortable, for a lack of the better term, 107 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,160 Speaker 1: only that those other guys have been there, done that. Yeah, 108 00:04:58,200 --> 00:04:59,840 Speaker 1: I mean I think you know you have Cody and 109 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,360 Speaker 1: any um, you know, Russell Sheppards you know, they've all 110 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 1: they've all been been in the offense. They've all played 111 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:06,840 Speaker 1: uh there here last year. They know what to do 112 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 1: and and they've made play for plays for us anything else. 113 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 1: You know, when you pick and choose plays like on 114 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 1: Thursday or Friday that you want to run on the game, 115 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 1: do you ever sit there and say, on that rollout 116 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 1: play that's kind of a bag? Well, we don't, you know, 117 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,599 Speaker 1: that's the coaches. Coaches called the plays and and we 118 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,840 Speaker 1: we discussed it, and we go over things and and 119 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,719 Speaker 1: off looks and so um, that's just that's all, uh, 120 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 1: you know, um, you know we we we discussed and 121 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 1: and always think you have a good plan. Sometimes the 122 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 1: defense calls different looks and can call you know, good plays. 123 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 1: Also how comforting isn't nothing someone like um to throw 124 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:51,040 Speaker 1: the ball too these days? Yeah, I think Evan's done 125 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 1: a good job. You know, he's always been a playmaker 126 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 1: for us, and and so I think he's worked really 127 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 1: hard just on his game. I'm just I'm being um, 128 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,720 Speaker 1: you know, just understand the offense and and and uh 129 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 1: just being accountable for everything. So I think he's done 130 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 1: a good job this whole offseason and into training camp 131 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 1: and um, you know, played well there at night, and 132 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 1: it's gonna have to um, you know, even if he 133 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 1: continue to do that. He's kind of a unique weapon, 134 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 1: a tight end. Yeah, he can run, he catches. You know, 135 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:20,360 Speaker 1: I think he did a great job in the blocking game, 136 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 1: so I think he you know, he's uh, you know, 137 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 1: so much more comfortable with in the offense and uh, 138 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 1: you know, the second year in an offense and he's 139 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:28,040 Speaker 1: doing a good job.
