1 00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,840 Speaker 1: Like, UM, your players have talked about your even demeanor 2 00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:07,920 Speaker 1: and meeting these practices. Why do you think having that 3 00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:10,440 Speaker 1: coaching style is important? And how much of that is 4 00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:13,880 Speaker 1: just a reflection of your personality in what ways? I think? 5 00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:18,320 Speaker 1: I think what's important is just being yourself, UM, coaching playing. 6 00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:21,200 Speaker 1: I think that's you know, important to your personality. And 7 00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:23,560 Speaker 1: you know, I think you gotta, you know, be you 8 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:25,880 Speaker 1: whenever you're trying to give a message and be as 9 00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:29,000 Speaker 1: positive and then go through that process. I needed being even. 10 00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:33,040 Speaker 1: How do you think it helps these guys? Sure gets razy. 11 00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:36,120 Speaker 1: I mean football's football could be a chaotic at times, 12 00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,080 Speaker 1: so I think it's UM, it's important to kind of 13 00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:42,120 Speaker 1: keep your composure, UM, understand where you're at and given situation, 14 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:44,400 Speaker 1: and you know, find a way and be able to 15 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:48,600 Speaker 1: problem solve. For me, UM, being that in that demeanor 16 00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,239 Speaker 1: allows me to problem solve and think clearly and give 17 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:53,600 Speaker 1: the guys our information. Why did you do that not 18 00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:55,560 Speaker 1: to take any interviews this week? And do you plan 19 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,680 Speaker 1: to take them next week? Regardless? UM touched on that 20 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 1: a little bit last week. You know, I think we'll 21 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:04,400 Speaker 1: find the appropriate time that's best for myself and the team. 22 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:06,680 Speaker 1: But I know Dave's hit on that this week about 23 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:08,640 Speaker 1: not doing them this week during the game week, So 24 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:11,399 Speaker 1: trying to keep that as normal as possible and then well, 25 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:13,479 Speaker 1: you know, we'll communicate and and find a good time 26 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:18,200 Speaker 1: when that's right. Have you ever keep back up the ever? 27 00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 1: Have you ever been angry at you? Have you ever 28 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,560 Speaker 1: lost your emotions? And yeah, I mean absolutely. I mean 29 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 1: there's there's times in places where that happens, but you know, 30 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 1: you try and stay within it. If you know, figure 31 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 1: out what went wrong, figure out how you can fix it, 32 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 1: and then that's really all the players want is an answer. 33 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:37,480 Speaker 1: So um, you know, just get back into a mentality 34 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 1: where you can help find answers from him. It's being 35 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 1: away from the sideline helped that on Sunday for Saturdays 36 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,760 Speaker 1: or whatever you play. Yeah, Um, as far as being 37 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 1: in the booth, you're saying, yeah, like being being the 38 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 1: booth was definitely different. It's spent the last several years 39 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 1: on the field, Um, not good or like, I think, 40 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 1: they're just different experiences. Down in the field, you get 41 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 1: a little bit more of a feel of the players 42 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 1: being right next to them, and you want to communicate it. Um, 43 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 1: when you're up in the booth, you get a bigger picture, 44 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 1: kind of a bird's eye view of the field. So 45 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 1: it's they're different, and so you've got to have trust 46 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 1: both ways on whether you're on the field, trust upstairs 47 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:14,520 Speaker 1: in the booth and when you're on the booth, trust 48 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,079 Speaker 1: downstairs on the field to get the right information. I 49 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:18,799 Speaker 1: guess what I'm asking though, is does it help you 50 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 1: to sort of disassociate yourself from the emotion in the fashion? 51 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,080 Speaker 1: And yeah, go on, definitely, definitely you can. You can 52 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,679 Speaker 1: definitely think a little bit. Um. You can. You have 53 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 1: more time to think and kind of spread out and 54 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,799 Speaker 1: have some you know, you have an area there it 55 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 1: writes some notes down and um where you don't really 56 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 1: have that on the field, you know, desk and all that. 57 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 1: So and it's definitely quieter so you don't have to 58 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 1: worry about the crowd noise in between drives and stuff. 59 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,079 Speaker 1: That that's probably the two major differences there. Is there 60 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 1: any um you know, when you're up there, the communication 61 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 1: is the only thing that matters, right, you know, they 62 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 1: can't so have there been either issues or is it 63 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 1: something you have to train yourself? You know, because you've 64 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,639 Speaker 1: got a lot of people in your ear. Also, you 65 00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 1: gotta be clear. You gotta not mumble, you know that 66 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 1: kind of I mean it sounds maybe not important, but 67 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:04,640 Speaker 1: it's crucial, isn't it. Yeah? Those are and those are 68 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 1: things that you really practice like in training camp and 69 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 1: ot A is just denunciation of the plays and working 70 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 1: through how I'm going to communicate you know, this number 71 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 1: or this set of plays and how the quarterback wants 72 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 1: to hear it, because that's really all that matters. You know, 73 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 1: from talking to the quarterback that he gets the information quickly, concise, 74 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 1: he can hear it, and then what he can relay 75 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,919 Speaker 1: that information good listening. Daniel does a great job with 76 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,959 Speaker 1: the headset and communicating to the huddle, communicating what we 77 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 1: want what we want to get a gig rong without 78 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:34,679 Speaker 1: offense the game. Obviously. What did you think of Daniel's 79 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 1: performance in his first playoff? Yeah, Daniel, Daniel did a 80 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 1: nice job. Obviously, did Um had some really good production 81 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 1: with his legs, good production with his arm. I mean 82 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 1: he made good decisions from the from the quarterback position 83 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 1: and eliminating those turnovers, which is which is big and 84 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 1: really any game Um and playoffs, those type of things 85 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 1: get elevated. So, Um, I thought he did a nice job. 86 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 1: You know, he directed the offense and you know, he 87 00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 1: did all the things that we asked him to do 88 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 1: with a quarterback position. On game days, how do you 89 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 1: see his demeanor change if at all, from like the 90 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 1: Slaton drop versus the Hodgen's pretty remarkable patch, right, I 91 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 1: mean yeah, you guys see it on on the on 92 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 1: the Cotton TV. And you know, even though when you 93 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 1: guys around the field, he's pretty much the same guy 94 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,839 Speaker 1: every day. And um, you know he doesn't really sweat 95 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 1: it either where you know, up or down. He kind 96 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 1: of just stays in the game and keeps fighting and 97 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 1: keep playing. And I think that's where you know, you 98 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,279 Speaker 1: see a guy like him. You know, he's put us 99 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 1: in position to be in those type of games. Mike, 100 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,040 Speaker 1: what do you think has made the Eagle is so 101 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 1: successful at rushing the quarterback? I think the first thing starts. 102 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,360 Speaker 1: You know, they're really talented players. Um, they really talented group. 103 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 1: Their their their depth super towers, not just like the 104 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 1: front flour. They got backups guys that are proNT of 105 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 1: all pros and Pro bowlers. Um, they're well coached, right, 106 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,360 Speaker 1: they have a good scheme and their sound with their 107 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,239 Speaker 1: scheme and um, they do a lot of good stuff 108 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,160 Speaker 1: on defense, so we get a you know, we gotta 109 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 1: have a good week of prep, Mike. The first after 110 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,040 Speaker 1: years really like the Identity team was Ryan just a 111 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,720 Speaker 1: quality run heavy and it seems like it's shifted. What 112 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:04,720 Speaker 1: has enabled you guys to put more trust in the 113 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 1: past game, put more on Daniel's played in that our guide. 114 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:08,920 Speaker 1: I think, you know, each week you just go through 115 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 1: that process and evaluate how the scheme is looking, what 116 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 1: we're seeing on defense. You know, we can put our 117 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,839 Speaker 1: players in the bus spot to be successful and and execute. 118 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 1: You know, and as the as the games go longer 119 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 1: each season, UM, and you get deeper and deeper into 120 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,280 Speaker 1: the season, you know, those things just get magnified. So 121 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,160 Speaker 1: we have to focus on, you know, our fundamentals and 122 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:32,040 Speaker 1: our techniques. All those things are super important. Course, Daniel 123 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,600 Speaker 1: Bellinger coming this year and now much did he have 124 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 1: to reset after the d I Yeah, but Belly keeps 125 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 1: growing every single week. You see improvement in the little 126 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 1: things that we talked about with him. Um, in the 127 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 1: run game, he's showing up. He's shown up in the 128 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 1: past game. UM, and he's one of those guys that's 129 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:51,280 Speaker 1: just um, you know, really good. Um, he's he's he's 130 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 1: a great teammate. You know, he does a lot of 131 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 1: good like this, the little things with Bellinger, you're seeing 132 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,480 Speaker 1: him really improve him. You have to, he said after 133 00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:59,480 Speaker 1: the injury, And do you feel like he's gotten back 134 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,920 Speaker 1: to where he was? Yeah, I mean I've never had 135 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 1: an injury like that. Um, you know, with the vision 136 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 1: and trying to catch football and stuff. So I don't 137 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 1: want to speak form on it, but you know, it 138 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:10,920 Speaker 1: was good to have him back and he had great energy, 139 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:12,720 Speaker 1: was in all the meetings and he was and he 140 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 1: was still around, so it didn't really feel like, um, 141 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,159 Speaker 1: he lost anything. You know, he kind of jump right 142 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 1: back into the flow of it and it was right 143 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 1: back where he left off. When they their circumstances are 144 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:24,360 Speaker 1: what they are two weeks ago. When you close out 145 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 1: the regular season against them, I'm sure there are things 146 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,559 Speaker 1: that you could gain schematically and how you put together 147 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 1: the game plan. Um, can you look at the personnel 148 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,600 Speaker 1: and think, all right, we had these guys out there, 149 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 1: but when we reinsert our guys, maybe this works differently 150 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:44,040 Speaker 1: or the game plan is even more enhanced because of 151 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 1: what you're bringing now off the sideline. Yeah, when you 152 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 1: when you watch the tape, you know, we look at 153 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 1: all the all the matchups, all the person and all 154 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:53,720 Speaker 1: the formations, see how they don't want to align to 155 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:55,919 Speaker 1: and see if we can find just a little bit 156 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 1: of an edge to to gain advantage for the offense. 157 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:00,480 Speaker 1: You know, whether it was a motion of formation to 158 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 1: shift the personnel grouping, changing it out those with the 159 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,040 Speaker 1: run in the past, trying to tie all that stuff together. 160 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,480 Speaker 1: It's that's an extensive process that we go through each week. 161 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 1: How long we've been waiting to unveil the statue of Liberty? Oh? Um, 162 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 1: that was that was a good and that was just 163 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 1: the week. That was the weekly ad for that game. Um, 164 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 1: it worked out, It worked out night and we only 165 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 1: got a few yards on it. But it looks sweet 166 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 1: you I mean he was handled correctly, right, Yeah, I 167 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 1: mean Daniel, Daniel and Brita did a nice job with 168 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 1: the ball hand. They worked on it. You know, you 169 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 1: guys left and that's when we started, you know pulling 170 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 1: it out. Is is that hard for a quarterback? I 171 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,560 Speaker 1: mean you played the position. Were you able to do that? 172 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 1: You know? I mean, yeah, I think the creativity that 173 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 1: the staff has bringing that to them. The players love 174 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. So um, you know, you know, 175 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 1: giving that, giving it to those guys and nothing kind 176 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 1: of run with it. Um. I don't know the level 177 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 1: of difficulty. I think Daniel handled it great on that 178 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 1: particular one. But you know those are those are those 179 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:56,240 Speaker 1: are need players. You wish you'd got this a little 180 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 1: bit more. Is that a chef? Is that a chiefs thing? 181 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 1: Or is that to somebody else? Bring it? No, that's 182 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 1: a that's a giant thing. You know. Those are things 183 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 1: that you know we're building for our for our offense, um, 184 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 1: and want to you know, continue to build them. That's 185 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 1: something micause that's something you worked on. They posts seas 186 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 1: you just broke out last week. Yeah, it was. It 187 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 1: was a play that we had kind of talked about. 188 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 1: But then you know, there was an opportunity for versus 189 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 1: the look and you know there was a few things 190 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 1: that had to happen, um, you know, right for the 191 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 1: play to work, and um, you know it was the 192 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 1: right situation. I thought, just just just to tick off. 193 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 1: But yeah, we just pulled it off for that game. 194 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:32,840 Speaker 1: Like Isaiah Hodgens development obviously, Dave's and Shane to him. 195 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:34,959 Speaker 1: I'm sure you were less familiar with him, but the 196 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 1: way he's come on as rapidly as he has. But 197 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 1: I think he's five touchdowns and from the day not known, 198 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 1: not having much experience with him before that. I mean, 199 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 1: he's been nothing but impressive, coming in, studying the playbook, 200 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,439 Speaker 1: working his butt off. Um, he's a great teammate and 201 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:51,320 Speaker 1: he does all he does all the right things. He's 202 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,559 Speaker 1: a pro. So you know, he's he's one of those 203 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 1: guys that you know, jumped into that room and was 204 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:57,959 Speaker 1: able to add was able to add some value.
