1
00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:05,440
Speaker 1: David. Let you start with the uh there's any COVID

2
00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 1: update and just what Pollard will do today? In um

3
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 1: no COVID updates today, UM Tony Pollard will participate practice

4
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:17,160
Speaker 1: day limited basis just how he feels. Yeah, probably, I'd

5
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 1: probably say limited. It's it's reduced practice, you know, just

6
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:23,439
Speaker 1: because the number of reps and the GPS numbers. You know,

7
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 1: we had a lot of guys were really cranking coming

8
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 1: out of this this last game. So we're gonna, we're

9
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 1: gonna it's gonna be more of a you know, walk

10
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:35,199
Speaker 1: through type practice. Is that a normal thing that you do,

11
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 1: like even checking from the GPS from the games and

12
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 1: or it's just this time of the year. Well, I

13
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,520
Speaker 1: just think, like anything, uh, you know, whether it's stress, um,

14
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:45,959
Speaker 1: you know, physical stress, it's additive over of course a year.

15
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 1: You just gotta really be conscientious of it. We're in

16
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 1: a winter schedule mode. UM, so you know some of

17
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 1: the meetings have been reduced. I mean this is just

18
00:00:54,560 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 1: a part of December. Thinking with the COVID going across

19
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 1: this league, do you guys do anything to mitigated yourselves

20
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 1: even if you're not to go beyond what is the

21
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 1: minimum requirements in the league. Well, I mean, frankly, we started, um,

22
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 1: you know, you could put us in a full protocol process,

23
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 1: you know, before Thanksgiving, and you know, you know, so

24
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 1: you know, and you know it's still you know, we

25
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: had some some cases. So obviously we're very mindful of it.

26
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 1: You know. I'm actually the team meeting start today with

27
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 1: Jim Mauer, so he's give us a give us an update.

28
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 1: And we just continue to emphasize the little things. And

29
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,960
Speaker 1: you know, I think you know, our workspaces, I mean,

30
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: it's boy as good as you can get. Um, you know,

31
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 1: we've we've moved the O, O and D line meetings

32
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 1: out on the concourse, so you know, just to spread

33
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 1: those guys out. So I mean, we're we're trying to

34
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: do all little things here and obviously with the family

35
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 1: and friends, you know, testing opportunity that's available to all

36
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: of us. You know, we just keep emphasizing that to

37
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: keep the home space as safe as we can. One thing,

38
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 1: I and and even you mentioned before you had it,

39
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: you were about you were scheduled to get the booster

40
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: and I think the league is kind of what has

41
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,639
Speaker 1: been your message to the players about the booster shot

42
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 1: and any any special things set up where they can

43
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,079
Speaker 1: get it. Well, really, I mean that's the beauty of Jim.

44
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 1: Jim Meyer has been our our point person on this

45
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: from from day one. Um, he's on all the league calls.

46
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:25,079
Speaker 1: So really any of the specific you know, the detailed

47
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 1: information from the league, you know, Jim addresses that with

48
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: the team and he did that this morning. So they

49
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: didn't did involve the booster correct, Yeah, the opportunity for

50
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,919
Speaker 1: the booster shot and just the process of receiving it.

51
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:44,679
Speaker 1: You can get that here. Yeah, you know, I'm not

52
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:51,839
Speaker 1: a player. Yeah, like the players, if I recall, kind

53
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: of voluntarily went turned the hotel into a bubble when

54
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: you came back from training camp. That they have they

55
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: talked to understanding you direct them to do that, But

56
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 1: have they talked about doing anything like that for this

57
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: last traction. I mean, not as a group, you know.

58
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: I mean there's been some individuals, but I mean it's

59
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: it's available. I mean, like like I said, I we're

60
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 1: so fortunate not only the head of facilities, but you know,

61
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 1: obviously you know what Jerry provides for our players and

62
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: in really the whole staff. So I mean it's definitely

63
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 1: an option Zeke. Obviously it's if it's a cut scale

64
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: back practice, maybe it doesn't. This question doesn't matter if

65
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: it is Zeke gon track to do everything? Uh with

66
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: his Knew York. Yes, I thought Zeke came out of

67
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: the you know, to come out of the game good.

68
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 1: It's you know, it's communication is has been. You know,

69
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 1: he's ready to go. So um, you know I would

70
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: if if we were having a full blown Wednesday practice,

71
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: I would say he would be in a full capacity

72
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: of tying. Is there anybody wh is not going to practice? Uh? No,

73
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: I don't think so. You know, we miss so much

74
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,119
Speaker 1: talking about the offense before. You guys, what's the mindset

75
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: right now? That? Is it a confident group? Proud? Did

76
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 1: you feel? Oh? Yeah, absolutely, I mean we're excited about

77
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: this next opportunity. I think it's just like any week.

78
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, your your grading system has to

79
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:16,359
Speaker 1: be consistent. You can't you can't grade, can't grade the team,

80
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 1: you know, one way when you win, one way when

81
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:19,600
Speaker 1: you don't. So I mean, so you know, we had

82
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: our grading session on Monday. I did the more of

83
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,840
Speaker 1: the overview today because you know, we didn't have a

84
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 1: team meeting on Monday. So yeah, so it's about correcting

85
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: and growing and adjusting, and more importantly, you know, we're

86
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 1: focused on the giants and the opportunity up there and

87
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 1: the specifics of how we're gonna you know, attack them

88
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: with our game plans. So yeah, we're confident and we're

89
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: looking forward to a good week of preparation. When you're

90
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,720
Speaker 1: going through a stretch like the offenses right now, just

91
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: over your experience, how do you what's the line between

92
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,160
Speaker 1: state of quarters, be confident what we do versus maybe

93
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 1: we need a tanker, maybe we need to change. I

94
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: mean a big part of what we do as coaches

95
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 1: and and and even players, as you emphasize. And I

96
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: think anytime you have success, uh you know, it's it's

97
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: like most things in life, it's usually not quite as

98
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 1: good as you think it is, and and it's usually

99
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 1: not as quite as bad as you think it is.

100
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,839
Speaker 1: So I think just having clarity, having the ability to

101
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 1: be honest through your evaluation process. I mean we you know,

102
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: we understand the things that didn't go right. UM, so

103
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 1: you know, we correct them, watch tape and you know,

104
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 1: and um, you know, I think like any any time

105
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: you have um, these type of opportunities, like I've overacted

106
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:36,840
Speaker 1: in the past where you just you cut it way

107
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 1: back and keep it simple, and you know that may

108
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 1: not be the best thing for for this week's opportunity.

109
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 1: So I think that's the beauty of having Monday and

110
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 1: keeping your evaluation process the same. Um you know, take

111
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:51,600
Speaker 1: the emotion out of it, because you know, sometimes even

112
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 1: when you win a game, it didn't it may not

113
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: feel like it for you know, certain parts of the team.

114
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: And that's not that's not the reality of this game.

115
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 1: And we're not playing an individual sport. I mean, this

116
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 1: is a team sport. You know, forty eight guys dress

117
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: on Sunday, and there's a lot that goes into that,

118
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 1: and there's a lot that has to happen and a

119
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 1: lot of good things that have to happen to win

120
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 1: a game. And it's you know, it doesn't matter who

121
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 1: you play. I understand lineups and everything goes into it.

122
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: But it's difficult to win on the road. And this

123
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 1: is gonna be a difficult game. They are and the

124
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: last one was difficult. And I thought the way our

125
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 1: guys came out, you know, the first half was you know,

126
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 1: was was impressive, but you know, we didn't finish it

127
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 1: quite the way. So you take those things and learn

128
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 1: from it. I mean, these are actually from my perspective, Uh,

129
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 1: it's really healthy. You know, if you look at the

130
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: number of players that we played, you know, me with

131
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 1: John last night, Fossil, and just a number of young players,

132
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 1: particularly just on our punt team that have played this year,

133
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, and no difference with Dan earlier

134
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 1: in the year. I mean we you know, we're up

135
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 1: over thirty something players playing, particularly our young guys. So

136
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 1: my point is we got a lot of people playing

137
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,720
Speaker 1: and uh that I've had experience, and that's these are

138
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 1: these are all X on the thing. It's not regardless

139
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,599
Speaker 1: of how it went or you know, what happened, because

140
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 1: like in anything life, you can learn more from your

141
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 1: mistakes than you do from your successes. Mica handle increased

142
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 1: attention he's received because he's having such a fantastic sea.

143
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: I think he's handled how's he handled? I mean he

144
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 1: loves it, let's be honest. But he's hand on it good.

145
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 1: And they say he's handled it very well. I mean

146
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 1: he's seen him in here last night again. I mean,

147
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 1: and I love that when I see young players in

148
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: there on a Tuesday night. He was a little late

149
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 1: for Brad, I think, but you know, he got caught

150
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 1: up with Dann and I for a while. But so, yeah,

151
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: he's he's he's doing the little things. You know, he's growing. Um,

152
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: So it's it's it's fun to see him grow. And

153
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 1: and obviously you know the success he's having is coming bunches,

154
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 1: so you know he's gonna be challenged more and and

155
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 1: that's and it's our responsibility to make sure he's he's

156
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 1: prepared for that. Yeah, I think I'm out of I

157
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 1: guess it was the New England game where he came

158
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 1: out and he kind of said, well, I need to

159
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 1: stop playing the hamper basketball in the locker room and

160
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 1: spending more time up here. So thing, how do you

161
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 1: balance with a young player who has that sort of

162
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:08,679
Speaker 1: potential to let him recognize that on his own saying hey,

163
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 1: you need to put a little bit more time in.

164
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: So he recognized that on his own, That's what you're saying.

165
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 1: How do you deal with those situations to get players

166
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 1: to understand I mean, it's all part of the process,

167
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: and I think a lot of let's just be honest,

168
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 1: it comes from the locker room. I think you have

169
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 1: to really put a lot of that on the on

170
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: the leadership that we have. We have we have you know,

171
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 1: everybody says they got good leadership, we got we have

172
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,680
Speaker 1: really good leadership in our locker room. Um. I think

173
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 1: that's a big part of you know, creating a culture

174
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 1: that that that gives you a chance to be successful

175
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 1: week in week out. But more importantly, you have to

176
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 1: educate the young players. I mean, I mean, I know

177
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 1: when I got in the league in the nineties, the

178
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 1: young guys weren't even expected to play, no matter of

179
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 1: first round and second round. But you know that's that's

180
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 1: not the case the last fifteen, you know, fifteen sixteen years,

181
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 1: these guys are expected to you know, to be part

182
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: of you know, the plan, the early particularly a first

183
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 1: round pick. And so I think the responsibility of your

184
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 1: veteran leadership is at the forefront when we're able to

185
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 1: take the young guys under the wings and and help

186
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 1: them develop. You compare them to very sentence of the

187
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 1: bad But there have been a lot compared to the

188
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: Lake to Lawrence Taylor, is that too much? Well, first

189
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 1: of all, I also want to do because I don't

190
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 1: like comparables. I don't think it's fair to the player.

191
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 1: I definitely don't think it's fair to the Hall of

192
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 1: Fame or either. So I think comparables are best done

193
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 1: at the end of the season. I mean, he's a

194
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 1: young player that's obviously it has a ton of success early.

195
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 1: But I mean he's got a very bright future. But yeah,

196
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 1: I don't think it's I don't think it's right to

197
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 1: compare anybody to a Hall of Fame player right now, Mike,

198
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 1: this offense obviously was rolling early. Hit a leve if

199
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 1: you will, you've been involved for a long time. When

200
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 1: when you find the team that is a good offenser

201
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:52,680
Speaker 1: capable being in good offense and they hit a level,

202
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 1: is there a common denominated and kind of gets things back,

203
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 1: go and be the game, the play what have you?

204
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 1: I think? So, I think I would say the common

205
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 1: denominator used would be just to be blot and battles

206
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 1: your run game, because you know, every every successful quarterback

207
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 1: has has the foundation of a run game in a

208
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 1: solid pocket. So um, and I just think it with that,

209
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 1: we just got to, you know, stay committed to the run,

210
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 1: you know, and and make sure we're you know, we're

211
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 1: giving our guys, our promitter players clean looks on it

212
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 1: on the outside. So it's you know, getting back to basics.

213
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,319
Speaker 1: But don't you know, let's not over react schematically, you know,

214
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 1: because we've been aggressive with this game and and I'm

215
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 1: not gonna put you know, I'm not gonna hold call

216
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 1: them back there. So we you know, we we still

217
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 1: want to be aggressive. You know, we're playing against the

218
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 1: defense that plays a lot of schame. They play every

219
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 1: front and football, so you know, we gotta we gotta

220
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 1: be able to combat that too, because I think you

221
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 1: can mistake and I've been part of it in the past,

222
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 1: you can pull back too much and then you know,

223
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:49,839
Speaker 1: you know, you get out there, you don't feel like

224
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 1: you have enough AMMO on Sunday. So I just think

225
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,319
Speaker 1: we got to be smart there and just keep emphasizing

226
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 1: the basics. Thought the run game didn't take a step forward,

227
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 1: I agree quality efficiency was up. I think we were

228
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 1: fifty seven percent efficient, so for sixty seven percent um

229
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:08,319
Speaker 1: efficient with the runs. So I mean that's you know,

230
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:09,959
Speaker 1: you're getting closer where you want to be. So it

231
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: definitely was a big improvement from New Orleans clearly. So um,

232
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: you look, you know, we had a good day you

233
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 1: know against the Giants, you know, last time we played them,

234
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 1: so you know, obviously that'll be a bigger challenge this

235
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 1: week because I mean, you know they're they're obviously that's

236
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 1: gonna be a focal point for them. So we just

237
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 1: got stayed. Of course, you know, we have a good plan.

238
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: We got to get get it clean this week, and um,

239
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 1: you know, make sure we carry our preparation into the game.

240
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 1: We've catched you a lot about the turnovers defensively, but

241
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 1: how do you feel this defense has gotten better in

242
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: their run defense so over the course of the season,

243
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 1: and where are you now on a well, I mean

244
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 1: I think clearly you know what you know, Neville coming back, Tristan,

245
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 1: I mean you have you have more Penny Penny penetration

246
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 1: than we probably had her own New year. So, um,

247
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 1: you know, the big guys are getting better, you know.

248
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,599
Speaker 1: You know bo Hannon, I thought probably one of his

249
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 1: better outings just you know, in his and his limited reps.

250
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 1: So the fits are cleaning. I thought Layton played very well.

251
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 1: So I mean I just think you're seeing it come

252
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,680
Speaker 1: together more and you know it's you know, let's not

253
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 1: forget this is you know, this is the first year

254
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 1: of being a multiple you know, scheme defense, and I

255
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 1: think our guys are really kind of hitting their stride

256
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 1: right now. But you know, like like anything, you're only

257
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,320
Speaker 1: as good as your last game. And um, I know,

258
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 1: I know they're excited and they want to build off

259
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 1: their last performance. How do you shake up the left

260
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 1: tackle work this week? Well, you know, I know there's uh,

261
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 1: you guys are fortunate to have lineup information earlier the week,

262
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 1: but uh, I'm not going to participate respectfully. So you know,

263
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,679
Speaker 1: we're gonna work out the obvious guys over there, you know,

264
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:45,959
Speaker 1: Terrence and THI think immediately in game. Is that just

265
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 1: from a what happens in practice leading into yeah? Everything,

266
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, it's it's just like anything, Yeah,

267
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 1: I mean, you trust your reps. You know, Terrence was

268
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 1: working you know a number of different things during the

269
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 1: course of the weeks, you know, so Ty took a

270
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:01,440
Speaker 1: lot of those reps and so I mean it's I mean, hey, frankly,

271
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 1: we're fortunate to have two options a lot of doing

272
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 1: playing multile positions. How has Steel been able to handle

273
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 1: my right tack when once the left side, I mean,

274
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 1: I mean mentally, emotionally, he handles it great. I mean

275
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 1: he's you talk about a young man that's very mature

276
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 1: in in his you know, in the second years his

277
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:21,680
Speaker 1: NFL career. I'm so impressed with just the way he

278
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 1: goes about his business. I mean just from day one

279
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 1: off season all the way through, it's it's it's just

280
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 1: Terrence the same guy. Every day brings great energies, very focused,

281
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 1: you know, very detailed. So um yeah, I you know,

282
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 1: he's he's he's definitely built the right way for you know,

283
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 1: for diversity of challenges. Thank you, Thank you, good day.

284
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: Thanks
