1 00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:02,640 Speaker 1: Him word progress from way. 2 00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:08,360 Speaker 2: Once and now Yeah, very positively is probably the way 3 00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:13,080 Speaker 2: I would explain it. He's very decisive. You know, he's 4 00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:15,320 Speaker 2: done a great job with his feet the last few 5 00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:20,200 Speaker 2: weeks too. But he's a tremendously accurate thrower and a 6 00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:23,440 Speaker 2: very mature decision maker in my opinion at this point. 7 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:27,520 Speaker 2: You know, for for a young guy, but he's definitely progressed, 8 00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:30,560 Speaker 2: and you know, he's getting the ball where it's supposed 9 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:32,280 Speaker 2: to go just about all the time. 10 00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:34,240 Speaker 3: He's keeping a lot of plays alive with his feet. 11 00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:36,440 Speaker 2: So he makes you work, you know, just like all 12 00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:38,519 Speaker 2: the other great players at that position. He makes you 13 00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,000 Speaker 2: work obviously with the plan in the pocket to defend 14 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:43,000 Speaker 2: him and then trying to mix and change your coverages 15 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 2: because he sees it really, really well. 16 00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,720 Speaker 1: He got a quarterback like Rooie. I mean, he can 17 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,360 Speaker 1: move around. Yeah, he's gonna keep you on your toes 18 00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:50,640 Speaker 1: kind of. 19 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:52,760 Speaker 4: He has a little bit of that Mahomes to his game. 20 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean he's just he's a big, strong kid too. 21 00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:59,240 Speaker 2: But you know, he keeps plays alive in the play. 22 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:00,840 Speaker 2: He's one of those guys. He plays alive in the 23 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,840 Speaker 2: pocket and he can really do damage down the field 24 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:06,399 Speaker 2: throwing the ball because he keeps the plays alive. You know, 25 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 2: it's one thing to get out of there and scramble 26 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,000 Speaker 2: and get through, which he does do a good job 27 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:11,160 Speaker 2: at that. 28 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:12,960 Speaker 3: But it's some of those plays that you look over 29 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 3: the course of the season where. 30 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,240 Speaker 2: He's kept it alive and gotten big chunk plays down 31 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,040 Speaker 2: the field because he keeps his eyes down the field. 32 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 2: So he's an aggressive player at that position, and you 33 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:23,199 Speaker 2: gotta have a good plan for him. 34 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:25,920 Speaker 1: Soonio Johnson, over like the past two. 35 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,320 Speaker 2: Weeks or so, I think that's more just an accumulation 36 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 2: of all the work that he's put in, you know, 37 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:37,319 Speaker 2: watching him every day from the spring till now. It's 38 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 2: little by little, and I think what you're seeing is 39 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 2: a lot of that stuff is manifesting and he's got 40 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,399 Speaker 2: I think a lot of confidence in what he's doing, 41 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,480 Speaker 2: because it's like anything else, if you do some of 42 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 2: the same things over and over and over again, you 43 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 2: can become a. 44 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 3: Master at it. 45 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 2: And I think he's trending in a way where he 46 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 2: not only knows what he's supposed to do, he knows 47 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 2: what everybody's around, everybody around him supposed to do, and 48 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 2: he's got some position in flexibility too, because he's a 49 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 2: big guy and a physical guy. He can play down 50 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 2: closer to the line of scrimmage, you know, do some 51 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 2: nickel type of roles and linebacker type of roles, those 52 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 2: type of things. You've seen him do that, and has 53 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 2: the ability to play back on the hash with some 54 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:18,240 Speaker 2: man coverage skills too down low. So he's really got 55 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,359 Speaker 2: a great skill set in my opinion, and he's he's 56 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 2: progressed very very well, and I think. 57 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 3: He's doing a really good job for us. 58 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 2: He's the way to pass rush responded after you know 59 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 2: what Liam said after the Houston game. 60 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 4: Over the last two weeks. 61 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:34,919 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think some of those, some of the rushes 62 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 2: in the last two weeks, the guys have done a 63 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 2: very good job. There's you know some where we had 64 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 2: him in the grasp too. You know that didn't show 65 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 2: up his sacks, but definitely affected the quarterback and affected 66 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 2: the outcome of the play. Uh, And that's we're gonna 67 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:50,679 Speaker 2: need that down a stretch, you know. I think we've 68 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:52,360 Speaker 2: gotten a little bit better there. We've got to continue 69 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,919 Speaker 2: to progress there. The guys are working their ass off 70 00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 2: to get that right. I think our d line coaches 71 00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 2: have done a really really good job with that. Matt 72 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 2: Edwards and Derek LeBlanc have done a really good job 73 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 2: with the plans and staying vigilant with the guys about 74 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 2: how we rush, you know, and really, I think when 75 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 2: you're doing a good job in the rush, that's usually 76 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 2: because there's a team rush mentality, and there's certainly a 77 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 2: bunch of selfless guys in there who were trying to 78 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 2: whether we're running inside stunts or what are outside stunts, 79 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 2: whatever it is, trying to make sure that they execute 80 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 2: the plan and get guys home, even if it's not 81 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 2: themselves or good JOm. 82 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 4: How important is would you just talk about can't be 83 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 4: rushing as a team and making sure you're doing your role. 84 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's tremendously important. You know. 85 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 2: There's some like there's a rush the other day early 86 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 2: in the game, you know, where we set up a 87 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 2: little bit of a spy deal based on the coverage 88 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 2: that we were playing, and they really executed it really, 89 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 2: really well. I think it was the first or second 90 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 2: third down of the game, and Dennis came around, did 91 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:55,119 Speaker 2: a good job staying patient. But that's really that's a collective, 92 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 2: that's all four guys executing you know, the call, getting 93 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 2: the us, getting it moved to where we wanted to go, 94 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 2: and getting the guy on the. 95 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 3: Ground because we did it correctly. 96 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 2: So they had a bunch of those over the last 97 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 2: two weeks, and to be honest with you, we've had 98 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 2: a bunch of those throughout the season, and I think 99 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 2: they're starting to see the fruits of their labor and 100 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 2: some of that stuff's paying dividends. 101 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 5: Playing rookie quarterbacks is the number one thing to do 102 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 5: to confuse that. 103 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 3: Is that the goal, just confuse them, to make them 104 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:24,160 Speaker 3: pull that ball the more. 105 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think on the back end, even to speak 106 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 2: to what you were just asking about the pass rush, 107 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,480 Speaker 2: the coverage being tight and the coverage being able to 108 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,239 Speaker 2: do a good job disguising can often force the quarterback 109 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,480 Speaker 2: to hold the ball. So those two things working together, 110 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 2: I would say that that's usually the case. But this 111 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 2: guy is also, in my opinion, he's he's a sharp kid. 112 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:49,160 Speaker 2: He's very mature. I don't see him making a lot 113 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 2: of bad decisions back there, which to me is the 114 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 2: most impressive thing about him. He's an impressive athlete, but 115 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 2: he's impressive as a decision maker. 116 00:04:57,839 --> 00:04:59,039 Speaker 3: And knowing where to go with the ball. 117 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:00,840 Speaker 2: So we got to do a good job of that, 118 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 2: certainly against anybody, but definitely against him as well. Look 119 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 2: at talk to the guys going, hey, look, yeah, he's 120 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:08,480 Speaker 2: the most sad quarterback in the league. 121 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 3: But that doesn't mean we're gonna we're gonna get to him, 122 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 3: don't Like. 123 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 1: Just look at that and as soon we're gonna get home. 124 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think you ever can. 125 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 2: I think they're If you look at their games over 126 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,160 Speaker 2: the course of the year, they've been playing a lot 127 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 2: of tight games. You know, they got the Seattle game 128 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,279 Speaker 2: down at one score, game the other day, you're looking 129 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,280 Speaker 2: and play Houston the other day two weeks ago or 130 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 2: whatever it was, ten days ago. Uh, they've done a 131 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,040 Speaker 2: really good job and they're fighting. They got their players 132 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,840 Speaker 2: playing hard. So we got to do a great job 133 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:39,040 Speaker 2: in the rush. And nobody's looking at this like that 134 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 2: type of game. Everybody's looking at it like this is Uh, 135 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 2: we got to get our best effort and put our 136 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:48,599 Speaker 2: best foot forward to execute against these guys. He did 137 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,720 Speaker 2: a good job. Thought overall, he did a good job. 138 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 2: Un though both guys did you know, and I thought 139 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 2: Buster overall did a pretty good job too. So having 140 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 2: those guys in there and playing a bunch, it's given us. 141 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 2: I think it gives you a shot in the arm 142 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 2: going down to stretch because you know, like real football 143 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 2: starts at Thanksgiving. In this league, this is that's kind 144 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,920 Speaker 2: of an age old saying in the NFL, But uh, 145 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 2: you're getting down to the nitty gritty here, and we 146 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 2: got to be at our best, and you want to 147 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 2: have guys who've played and they've been seasoned, you know, 148 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 2: they've been battle tested. And I feel like we have 149 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 2: a bunch of guys who've done that because we've played 150 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 2: pretty much everybody in the back end. You know, Rayon Lane, 151 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:28,360 Speaker 2: i'd say the same thing. You know, in the back end, 152 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 2: he's done a good job. From where he started out 153 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 2: in the year at that, I think he's had tremendous progress. 154 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 2: And I would say the same thing about Christian. I 155 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,159 Speaker 2: think Craigs just kind of keep going the way he's going. 156 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 2: I don't really need to see anything else when I 157 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 2: got total confidence in Greg, you know, love him as 158 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 2: a player. I think he's got a ton of skills, 159 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:51,920 Speaker 2: certainly when it comes to man to man and playing 160 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 2: his own So yeah, I'm confidence as I possibly could 161 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,359 Speaker 2: be in any of those guys, and especially Greg. 162 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:02,040 Speaker 5: He touch about how much pride, how important is to 163 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:02,920 Speaker 5: be playing to run. 164 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 4: As well as you guys are. 165 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think if you're if you're stopping the run, 166 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 2: you're making people one dimensional and that's important. I mean, 167 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 2: I think there's an emotional high that comes from big 168 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 2: plays in the past game, but there's a physical high 169 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 2: that comes from being able to run the ball on somebody. 170 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 2: I don't think there's a more helpless feeling in football 171 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 2: than somebody being able to run the ball and kick 172 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 2: your ass down the field, you know. 173 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 3: So that's something that is very very important to us. 174 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 2: We kind of hold sacred in our room making sure 175 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 2: that we're doing a good job of that, you know, 176 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 2: and when we're not, it's not good enough, it's not acceptable. 177 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 2: And I think the guys have taken to that, you know, 178 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 2: to not stay blocked and do your job, do your 179 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 2: one to eleventh, but then go do some more, you know, 180 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:45,520 Speaker 2: go find a way to get to the football. I 181 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 2: think that's a really important part of run defense, and 182 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 2: I think our defensive backs and defensive backs coaches have 183 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 2: done a very good job of that of spreading that 184 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 2: culture around the room because you know, instenally they're gona 185 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 2: make the corners tackle because they don't think corners can tackle. 186 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 2: And you got to have guys that position that are 187 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 2: physical enough to do it, that want to do it, 188 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 2: and you know, culture culturally, there's buy into that on 189 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 2: our end. So that's another thing, like even asking about 190 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 2: those guys, I think they've both done a really good job. 191 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 3: I thought even in a run game. 192 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 2: Greg had some physical reps the other day taking on 193 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 2: pullers and all kinds of stuff. So yeah, to your 194 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 2: point before, I think both of those guys done a 195 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 2: good job. 196 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 3: Appreciate it. 197 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 1: After last week there were the turnovers were properly up 198 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 1: and down. Can that be as much of a confidence 199 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,680 Speaker 1: building game for you and the quarterback and Trevor as 200 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 1: even a perfect game because you see that he's not 201 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 1: going to get raveled by that kind of stuff. 202 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,840 Speaker 5: Absolutely, And I think you see, especially when you have 203 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 5: success on the other side of it, the resilience to 204 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:49,079 Speaker 5: go from one drive to the next drive. But additionally 205 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 5: to know we can make mistakes and still overcome that. 206 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 5: Not that we would ever want to do that, but 207 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 5: there is an element of doubts sometimes for certain players 208 00:08:58,160 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 5: when they go out there and make mistakes and say, 209 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 5: even if I play well, can I play well enough 210 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 5: to overcome that? So to be able to go out 211 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 5: there and do your job and do it at a 212 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 5: high level and know that that is enough to overcome 213 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:12,440 Speaker 5: a mistake in a game that you can go up 214 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 5: that that's freeing moving forward to say I can go 215 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 5: play fast and I don't want to make mistakes. We 216 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:19,560 Speaker 5: got to be better about protecting the ball. But if 217 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,439 Speaker 5: I do, we can play well enough to overcome those things, 218 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 5: which is huge. 219 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 3: Liam, you know sett he told Trevor after all the picks, 220 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,040 Speaker 3: each pick, just to keep throwing and keep chucking it. 221 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,720 Speaker 3: How comforting is that for a quarterback to know that 222 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 3: you know he's not. 223 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 2: Going to that he can he has a head coach 224 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 2: that'll tell him that and has the confidence in him 225 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:38,560 Speaker 2: to just keep firing down there. 226 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:39,600 Speaker 4: It's a huge deal. 227 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 5: And I think Liam's confidence in the quarterback, the offensive line, 228 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 5: the coaching staff, everybody is one of those things that's 229 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,440 Speaker 5: contagious and it affects all the players, all the coaches, 230 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:53,319 Speaker 5: the whole organization, because, especially at the quarterback position, you're 231 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:54,960 Speaker 5: going out there and the ball is in your hands 232 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 5: every single play, and it's not like it's in your 233 00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 5: hand and you're just like passing it on to even 234 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,840 Speaker 5: on plays where hand it off, you're going up there 235 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,240 Speaker 5: and you're making a decision that affects the outcome of 236 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,679 Speaker 5: the play, effects the outcome of the drive, and then 237 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 5: effects the outcome of the game when you're. 238 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 4: Trapolated all the way out. 239 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:11,680 Speaker 5: So a lot of guys can get in their head 240 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 5: and take that and turn it into the weight of 241 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 5: the world every single time they got to go out 242 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,840 Speaker 5: there and make a play which turns into a mistake, 243 00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 5: becoming oh, that's the that's costing the team the game 244 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,000 Speaker 5: where I'm doing all this and it becomes this you know, 245 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 5: certain like kind of this series of events where guys 246 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 5: end up, you know, falling into bad patterns of habit 247 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 5: and mental spaces. 248 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 4: But to go out there and know like I can make. 249 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 5: A mistake and they still have confidence in me and 250 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 5: I can go out there and play fast is huge 251 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 5: for a quarterback to be able to go out and 252 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:43,600 Speaker 5: play at his highest level because if you're going out 253 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,960 Speaker 5: there and then you know whether it's retroactively or preemptively 254 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 5: you're thinking, I can't make mistake, I can't do this, 255 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:51,960 Speaker 5: and all the things I can't do, you're by default 256 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:53,920 Speaker 5: not thinking about all the things you do want to 257 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:55,920 Speaker 5: do and that you are trying to do. So it's 258 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:57,720 Speaker 5: huge for him and he's done a great job of 259 00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 5: handling that because one of those things that's easier said 260 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:01,960 Speaker 5: than done. So you say it all the time and 261 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:03,199 Speaker 5: you preach it all the time, but for him to 262 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,199 Speaker 5: go out there and do it is really what's so impressive. 263 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:06,719 Speaker 3: The wide receiver room, I. 264 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 1: Mean, I guess the pecond order is shifted over the 265 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:10,679 Speaker 1: course of the year. How much of an impact and 266 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:14,199 Speaker 1: that have on like the passing game. Finding that that consistency, 267 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 1: Williams said he was starting to build more and more 268 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:20,360 Speaker 1: confidence in the group. Maybe it's because you guys found 269 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:22,360 Speaker 1: those pass catches you want to for a little bit. 270 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 5: I think there's a lot of things that go into it. Hopefully, 271 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,360 Speaker 5: regardless of who's out there at receiver, more time on 272 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:31,000 Speaker 5: task and more time together is going to produce a 273 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 5: better product in the past game, It's going to produce 274 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,959 Speaker 5: more chemistry between those guys just pitching and catching or 275 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 5: understanding the space. I got to get to the time, 276 00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:40,960 Speaker 5: and I got to get there the way I'm releasing 277 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,599 Speaker 5: on a certain route, the way this release pattern distributes 278 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:44,720 Speaker 5: versus this coverage. 279 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 4: It plays out like this, or itaus that coverage. It 280 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:47,000 Speaker 4: plays out like that. 281 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,640 Speaker 5: But there is an element of guys having a certain 282 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,440 Speaker 5: chemistry and finding what guys are good at certain routes 283 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 5: and certain concepts, what routes are good for the quarterback, 284 00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 5: what routes are good for Jacoby Parker BT tam all 285 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 5: of our guys. So as we get better as a unit, 286 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 5: it should naturally improve. But finding those guys and finding 287 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,080 Speaker 5: what they do well together, what they do well with 288 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 5: the quarterback does make a difference for those guys when 289 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 5: it's playing on time and playing with them, all those 290 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 5: things we talk about. That was a phasial progress, especially 291 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:17,960 Speaker 5: over like the. 292 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:21,360 Speaker 4: Last two or three weeks. He's progressed really all year. 293 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,200 Speaker 5: I mean even since the spring coming in, where he 294 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:25,560 Speaker 5: was a ton of stuff for him to learn that 295 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:27,680 Speaker 5: was very different from what he had done in college, 296 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,600 Speaker 5: and he's embraced that, and him and really the entire 297 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 5: running back room have attacked that in a really really 298 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,440 Speaker 5: impressive way. I mean, the amount of extra work he 299 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:40,840 Speaker 5: puts in with extra walkthroughs, extra film study with coach Morton. 300 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 5: He's up here on his off days getting extra lifts, 301 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 5: working on technique and fundamentals, trying to refine his craft 302 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,680 Speaker 5: on his tracks, being disciplined with his cuts, his reads 303 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,600 Speaker 5: in the run game, his understanding the protection schemes, really 304 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 5: all areas of his game. I could point the different 305 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,200 Speaker 5: facets and say that he's made improvements. 306 00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:57,559 Speaker 4: Now. 307 00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,080 Speaker 5: Some of it you don't always see because he hasn't 308 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 5: gotten a ton of, for example, targets in the past game. 309 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:03,960 Speaker 5: But when we're out there on the practice field, I 310 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,679 Speaker 5: can see him continue to improve where I feel confident 311 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 5: that he has the ability to do certain things in 312 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 5: that area of the game. Same thing in the protection. 313 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,480 Speaker 5: He hasn't had a ton of snaps and opportunities to 314 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 5: go up there and fit up complicated protection, you know, 315 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,320 Speaker 5: pressure pickups and things like that. But I know from 316 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 5: what I see and walk through is in practice that 317 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:21,440 Speaker 5: he is on the field, that he's capable of that. 318 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:24,679 Speaker 5: So it's it's one thing to improve in the run game, 319 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:25,760 Speaker 5: which he has done a ton of. 320 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:27,600 Speaker 4: He's always been He's always had the talent. 321 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:31,079 Speaker 5: He saw the balance, the strength the speed, the burst, 322 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,560 Speaker 5: all those things from day one, but all the nuances 323 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 5: and details of the game have improved. But it's really 324 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,080 Speaker 5: exciting to see a guy who hasn't had a lot 325 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 5: of opportunities in some areas of the game still work 326 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,960 Speaker 5: so hard to improve those areas. And I mean the 327 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 5: way that whole room and Coach Moore gets those guys 328 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:48,839 Speaker 5: ready to go, the way they attack it, the way 329 00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,719 Speaker 5: they practice is awesome for me, it's awesome for the 330 00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:52,760 Speaker 5: whole team, it's awesome. 331 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 4: For the unit. 332 00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:55,800 Speaker 3: Great. 333 00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 4: He's been great. We talked about it last week. 334 00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:02,959 Speaker 5: He was going center, guard, card tackle, left tackle, right tackle. 335 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,680 Speaker 5: There's certainly plays in the game from last week that 336 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:07,560 Speaker 5: he would want to that he probably wants back, that 337 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:08,400 Speaker 5: we all want back. 338 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:09,680 Speaker 4: Every guy's got those. 339 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:11,440 Speaker 5: But for him to go out there and do what 340 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:13,760 Speaker 5: he did and be able to play different positions, communicate, 341 00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:17,319 Speaker 5: communicate with different guys, different schemes, different blocks, it's totally 342 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 5: a different fit of some of those blocks, even from 343 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 5: left to right. Like, yeah, combination between the guard and 344 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 5: the tackle might be the same combination on paper, but 345 00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 5: the actual mechanics of fitting up with my left shoulders 346 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,120 Speaker 5: was my right shoulder is a totally different feel for 347 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 5: those guys. So for him to do that week in 348 00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 5: and week out is an another area. I know I've 349 00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:36,840 Speaker 5: said impressed with those backs, he would fall into that 350 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 5: same category for in strange. 351 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,760 Speaker 1: Just getting him back, I mean you gotta call it 352 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 1: bass think the first pass of the game. Yeah, how 353 00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:45,960 Speaker 1: good was it to get him back. 354 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 4: In the flow in the mix of things really quickly huge? 355 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 4: Like we mentioned before, we got him back. 356 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,840 Speaker 5: He adds a ton of value in attacking defenses in 357 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:55,960 Speaker 5: the pass game and the run game. He can do 358 00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 5: so much from a route standpoint. You saw that's a 359 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,360 Speaker 5: deeper route. He has a bunch underneath catches where he's 360 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 5: catching and running, so he can really run a pretty 361 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 5: full route tree from a tight end perspective, I mean 362 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,160 Speaker 5: he can be flexed out and running routes that receivers run. 363 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:09,960 Speaker 4: And then in the run game, he's in. 364 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:13,040 Speaker 5: Line, he's off the ball, he's slight, you know, he's 365 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,200 Speaker 5: going back and forth in the backfield. He's motion and 366 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 5: doing a bunch of things. So he adds an element 367 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 5: of variety that lets us play in a bunch of 368 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:23,480 Speaker 5: different sets in different personnels and still do similar things 369 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,160 Speaker 5: out of those personnels or vastly different things out of 370 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,760 Speaker 5: those personnels because he is so capable. 371 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:29,880 Speaker 3: Did you realize just. 372 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 1: How valuable he was going to be to the offense 373 00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:32,560 Speaker 1: when he first came in. 374 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:35,920 Speaker 4: That's a great question. I probably did not. I wish, 375 00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:37,000 Speaker 4: I wish I did. 376 00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,480 Speaker 5: But I mean, the more and more you're around him, 377 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 5: and the more you see the physicality and the explosive 378 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 5: ability in the run game or with the ball in 379 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 5: his hands, the more you realize how special a player 380 00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 5: is and how much he adds to our offense, run, attacking, standpoint, 381 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 5: anything else. All Right, awesome, Thank you guys, Happy Thanksgiving guys. 382 00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:57,040 Speaker 5: I really appreciate you guys being him
