1
00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:05,600
Speaker 1: When you install the game plan this week with uncertainty

2
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:08,520
Speaker 1: and running back, does it make any difference as far

3
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 1: as you know how you approach the week when Christians,

4
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:12,720
Speaker 1: I don't.

5
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:14,840
Speaker 2: Think it does. I think that you know it's still

6
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 2: you have to a tax schemmatically first and foremost. You

7
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 2: look at what's good schematically and you say, okay, these

8
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:21,639
Speaker 2: things are good schematically. Then who best suits it? And

9
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 2: you know some things could be good schematically that aren't

10
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 2: great or maybe better suited for Christian But at the

11
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 2: end of the day, you're still going to try and

12
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 2: attack the defense as best you see and trying to

13
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 2: take advantage of the scheme. You know what they present

14
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 2: and what's the best runs against the best defenses.

15
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 1: If Trend's not ready to go Jalen Moore, I don't

16
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 1: think he started since last year did Carolina and Atlanta when.

17
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,200
Speaker 3: Trent was down? How can you tell how much he's

18
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,280
Speaker 3: progressed since then? And then if he's.

19
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:50,560
Speaker 2: Ready, Well, there's things every single player through the course

20
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 2: of the of the season and the off season, there's

21
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 2: things that you focus to work on, and you see

22
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 2: where that guy's working on improving on those things in practice.

23
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 2: The good thing for Jalen is he has had a

24
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 2: lot of work when Trent. You know, Trent had his

25
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 2: vet days during camp and doesn't play in the preseason,

26
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 2: so Jalen does get to playing, you get to see

27
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 2: if he's progressed. And we think Jalen has has progressed.

28
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 2: I mean, you've heard me sitting here a lot that

29
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,959
Speaker 2: you don't know until you're playing the games exactly how far.

30
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 2: But but he has improved on some things. It's been

31
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 2: good to watch him do that and hope that, you know,

32
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 2: if he does get pressed into duty again on Sunday

33
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 2: or Monday night, then we'll be able to see some improvement.

34
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 3: Does the Browns react differently to to what you thought

35
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 3: you were going to get their safeties, to some of

36
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 3: the motions that you got, And if so, what was

37
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 3: the adjustment?

38
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 2: Well, there's always what they show on tape, and then

39
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 2: they showed a little bit of all of it, and

40
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 2: then all of a sudden they decide they're going to

41
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 2: do something in our game and then they do that something.

42
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 2: So it was maybe it's a little bit different. At

43
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 2: the end of the day, you just you just roll

44
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 2: with it and you know what it is because you've

45
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 2: seen it before. It's just you don't know. You know,

46
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 2: for example, we could practice a little bit of all

47
00:01:58,600 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 2: of it because you think, oh, they could do that,

48
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 2: they might do this, they've usually done this, but with us,

49
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 2: they could You know, it's always a guessing game. So

50
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 2: when you get in there, it's something we've seen before,

51
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 2: something we did work on, and something that durned the game.

52
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 2: Was not a huge adjustment, but just something we had

53
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 2: to inform everybody. Hey, guys, we practiced this all week.

54
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 2: We thought it would be more of this than it

55
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 2: ended up being something else.

56
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 4: The other night that he stayed in the game because

57
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 4: he didn't want to put that pressure on Jalen to

58
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 4: go against Miles Garrett. What is that fine line of

59
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:28,839
Speaker 4: kind of doing what's best for the team and also

60
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:30,079
Speaker 4: saving from himself.

61
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 2: I just think it's it comes back to a you

62
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 2: check with the training staff and they determine whether the injury.

63
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 2: They can do testing the things to see if the

64
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 2: injury is such that you can play. Then you put

65
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 2: it back on the player and say, hey, it appears

66
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 2: that you're strong enough for the ankle is good enough,

67
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 2: good enough condition? He's like okay, And then you say

68
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 2: the player, Okay, go out and do it. He goes

69
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 2: out there, and you keep an eye on it and

70
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 2: you say, eh, doesn't look good, or it does look good,

71
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 2: or it looks okay. And you check with the players,

72
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:54,359
Speaker 2: say how you doing it? I'm doing fine. You know

73
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 2: it's getting a little like this. Yeah, I'm okay. I

74
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 2: think I can do it. Then as the coach, eventually

75
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 2: you may have to make the decisions say he he's

76
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 2: doing well enough to stay in the game or he's not.

77
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 2: So it's a group decision and ultimately comes back to

78
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 2: the player on the field, you know. And Trent was

79
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 2: very conscious of it because if you go back to

80
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:12,679
Speaker 2: I don't remember when we play the Rams the championship

81
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 2: game what year that was, and he played on the

82
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 2: high ankle sprain. Postgame, he said, I probably should have

83
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 2: let Colton play that game, and so he was aware

84
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 2: of that, understanding that he could do what he could do.

85
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 2: But I've been with plenty of players before that same thing.

86
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 2: They've had an injury, they felt a certain way, not

87
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 2: one hundred percent, but not so much that they would

88
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 2: stay out of a game. They've played a lot of

89
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 2: games in that condition, and so they know whether they

90
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 2: can do or not. You have to trust them. And

91
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 2: then the more you have a relationship with the player,

92
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 2: the more you can then say yeah, yeah, I got you,

93
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 2: but you need to come stand and sideline with me.

94
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 3: The offense change when Christian McCaffrey isn't on the field.

95
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: In terms of like the coverages.

96
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 2: I think they stayed pretty much the same. I think

97
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 2: they had a plan for us and the way that

98
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 2: what they decided to do with Christian was just fine

99
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 2: to keep doing going forward. I don't think it was

100
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 2: something they would have had to change too much with

101
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 2: because they had a good plan and it wasn't like

102
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 2: it it gave away much else, you know. So it's

103
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 2: kind of a coverage they always play and then whether

104
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 2: they can help with Christian or not, you know. And

105
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 2: that's that's a very general and broad statement because there's

106
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 2: a lot of different things that they can do. But

107
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 2: it didn't change I don't think. I don't think a

108
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 2: whole lot again coverages and how they were handling Christian

109
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,040
Speaker 2: at that point. He didn't It wasn't We weren't far

110
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 2: enough into it for me to really be able to tell.

111
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 2: But it does it didn't change much.

112
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: He's not available, how much of it would be on

113
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: two back approach or writing the hot hand, Like, how

114
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: do you kind of balance that?

115
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 2: I think it still just goes back to you know,

116
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:36,479
Speaker 2: we knew who the next back in the game was.

117
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 2: JP was going to be the next guy in the game,

118
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 2: and then Elijah was going to play some and then

119
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,039
Speaker 2: it is just a matter of as you get a

120
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 2: feel and how they're rolling, what we're doing, what we're

121
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 2: trying to get done. They both have strengths and weaknesses,

122
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,039
Speaker 2: probably one a little bit towards the run, another little

123
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 2: bit towards the pass, and so you want to be

124
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 2: able to balance out. Hey, if it's becoming a throw game,

125
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 2: it's becoming a run game. Who's going to be on

126
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 2: a third down? Since Christian's not going to be, who's

127
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:57,720
Speaker 2: going to be on first and second? So that's more

128
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 2: of it than the hot hand. Thing can go Obviously,

129
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 2: guys feeling it and pounded up in there that hotthand

130
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,160
Speaker 2: last you give Himbout three carries in a row and

131
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 2: you're like, he needs to get out for a care

132
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 2: and put somebody else in. So it can go either way,

133
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 2: but both guys you kind of play to their strengths.

134
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:15,479
Speaker 1: You guys had Zekela this last game. Yeah, what prompted that?

135
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 2: Well, Banks had the uh I'm trying to think that

136
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 2: was the shoulder at the end of the right shoulder

137
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 2: at the end of the last game and was questionable.

138
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 2: I mean, and now he was fine. Last week he

139
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,599
Speaker 2: went through practice, he got I don't think he practiced

140
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 2: one day. The second day he did and seemed to

141
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 2: be great. But I was concerned. And all of a sudden,

142
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 2: when you end up with Feliciano in the game, your

143
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 2: backup center's playing, which means your backup center could then

144
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 2: get hurt, and then your third center is more of

145
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,719
Speaker 2: an emergency plan. So this way we always had we

146
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 2: have three centers up. And maybe going forward, is the

147
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 2: season wears on and guys are dinged up, unless we're

148
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 2: one hundred percent healthy, that may be the way to go.

149
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,280
Speaker 2: But again it depends on the tackle health. And then

150
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 2: your tackle health is down, maybe we need four tackles,

151
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 2: and so that's the that's the Every week you have

152
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 2: to evaluate it. And I think once there's an injury

153
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 2: to one of the two spots, you have to lean

154
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 2: heavier on on that.

155
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 3: Chris It's always when you watch these films that the

156
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 3: defenses want to stop your guys run game, giants a

157
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,359
Speaker 3: couple of weeks ago, heavy fun, six man down, that

158
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 3: kind of thing. Based on what you see from Minnesota

159
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 3: on film, what do you expect to see? How will

160
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 3: they be the same, will they be different?

161
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:22,719
Speaker 1: Yeah?

162
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 2: The thing about these the defenses today, a lot of

163
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 2: defenses and even even Cleveland, who tends to be a

164
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 2: pretty uh you know, you kind of know what they're

165
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,479
Speaker 2: going to be in changed up a little bit. These

166
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 2: guys can do a lot of different things. The six

167
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 2: on the line to five on the line, five in

168
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 2: the line on Nickel for Ford down. Nickels still get

169
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 2: five on the line, four down pressure, I mean deep

170
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 2: to short where they line up deep and then they

171
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 2: come down lad and it coverage. You're not sure whether

172
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 2: it's gonna be a hard eight man front or seven

173
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,919
Speaker 2: man front or not. So these guys today, there's just

174
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 2: a lot of different variations and so however they decide

175
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,280
Speaker 2: to stack up and try and stop your running game,

176
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 2: that's what you have to see as the game progresses,

177
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 2: because they have a lot of different ways to do it.

178
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,920
Speaker 2: Do I see them being a heavy six man line.

179
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 2: I don't I don't know. That's not that's not what

180
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 2: they've been to this point. But it doesn't mean they won't.

181
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 2: You know, Jim Schwarz at the story of where we

182
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 2: played Cleveland when they played us in when he was

183
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 2: there as a consultant in Tennessee, when we played them

184
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 2: a couple of years back, and the second half of

185
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 2: that game, they played us Nickel to our twenty one

186
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 2: personnel almost the whole game. And that is about what

187
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 2: they did in this past game to us as well.

188
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 2: For whatever the reasons they decided to do it, and

189
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 2: you would think that wouldn't be as good a way

190
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 2: to stop the run, but they had other reasons they

191
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 2: felt to choose to get Nickel to do it, and

192
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 2: they did a nice job. So there's just you don't

193
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 2: know what it's going to be and uh and that's

194
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 2: always the challenge every week, and with us it is

195
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 2: it's we do a lot of we do a lot,

196
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 2: and we do a lot of different things. That challenge

197
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 2: I think defense is to be on point, and not

198
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 2: to be on point, to be on point every week,

199
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 2: but there's just a lot they have to cover with

200
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 2: the motions and where we align the fullbacks, and so

201
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 2: how they're going to do that, how they decide within

202
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 2: their scheme and package. It's really difficult always to see.

203
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 2: So you have to get in the game and start

204
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 2: rolling with it and anymore. It's not that I don't

205
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 2: think Kyle is ever like, oh well, that's shocking, or

206
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 2: said that's what they're going to do to try to

207
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 2: stop us. Here are the things that we go to.

208
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 2: And that's been the good thing over time is shoot.

209
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 2: In twenty nineteen, I remember we had ninety nine snaps

210
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 2: of Nickel to twenty one personnel. That was unheard of,

211
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 2: and the ten I don't think we probably had nine

212
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 2: nine snaps of Nickel in the ten years before twenty nineteen,

213
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden that became a way

214
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 2: to play us for whatever the reasons, defense has decided

215
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 2: to do it. And so then you have to start

216
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 2: you have to start saying, okay, we'll shoot. We have

217
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 2: to adjust to this and start working out how we

218
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 2: play Nickel to twenty one And it didn't used to

219
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 2: be the way it was, and now it's become Nichols

220
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 2: a huge piece of everything. Twenty one twelve, you see

221
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 2: it all over the place counters. I don't know effective

222
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 2: or not. I think it's from a defensive perspective. It

223
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:54,960
Speaker 2: becomes things like, you know, what coverages can you play?

224
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 2: You have to cover Chris. I think it's coverage based

225
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 2: as much as anything else. I don't think it has

226
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 2: to do with formations. All of a sudden, you when

227
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 2: you're going to take fullbacks and half backs and line

228
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 2: them outside and play them as receivers, some of your

229
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 2: coverage adjustments may involve linebackers breaking the box. Right, what

230
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 2: are we doing with that? Why not put a nickel

231
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 2: back in the game? And it fits more with these

232
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 2: guys are more x's out there, you know, I mean,

233
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:15,679
Speaker 2: you know, spots on the field as opposed to a

234
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 2: full back of tight end and then the linebackers having

235
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 2: to adjust. There's just a whole uh I mean, And

236
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 2: I'm not a defensive coach, but I think there's a

237
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:23,679
Speaker 2: whole lot that goes into it. And that's where I

238
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 2: think the nickel becomes a little bit I don't want

239
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 2: to say easier, but it does. And in those nickel

240
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,719
Speaker 2: guys and those safeties have to be good in the

241
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 2: run game, because that's what you would think, Oh, they're

242
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 2: going to give up a little bit in the run game,

243
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 2: but shoot, if they're you know, shooting their guns and

244
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:37,439
Speaker 2: then the gaps and playing hard, it's it's hard to

245
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 2: block them as well.

246
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 3: What trend is that defenses are rushing quarterbacks with smaller

247
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 3: guys more and more and the vikings uses kidding me,

248
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 3: tell us quite a bit off the nickel as a blitzer.

249
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 3: How challenging is that for your guys to block smaller

250
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,679
Speaker 3: bodied guys nickel corners that kind of thing.

251
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 2: Well, it's it's they are, so it does create an

252
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 2: issue that if there's too much space, sometimes it's hard

253
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 2: to get your hands on him. And then other times

254
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 2: it becomes a matter of just if you do get

255
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:10,719
Speaker 2: your hands on, they're easier to block. They don't have

256
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 2: an array of pass rush moves usually. You know, one

257
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 2: of the best that was fighting. One of the best

258
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 2: pass rushers ever was Woodson. Was Charles Woodson, right, Not

259
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 2: only was he a good rusher, I mean not was

260
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 2: he like you're talking about these elusive fast guy, but

261
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 2: he had moves. I mean, like, if you were a tackle,

262
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:24,439
Speaker 2: don't think you're just gonna go out there and get

263
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 2: your hands on this guy's he's going to beat you

264
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 2: with the pass rush move can harvel over, a swim,

265
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 2: a rip or something like that. It's not going to

266
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 2: get as much of that, but it is the space thing.

267
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 2: You know, guards out there and here's a knowing to

268
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 2: be a linebacker coming at you. You're you're judging of

269
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 2: when you come off a block to pick him up.

270
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 2: It's a little bit different because the guy's faster, so

271
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 2: it's a little bit of a challenge, a little less

272
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 2: of a challenge, and if you get my hands on him,

273
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 2: it is, but it is. I think the littler guys

274
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 2: blitzing or coming from different directions becomes a little bit

275
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 2: more of a you know, disguise, you're not expecting it

276
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 2: type of thing, and that's what that might be. What's happening.

277
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 2: Thanks guys, appreciate
