1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,000
Speaker 1: Morning, coach, Good morning, victory shot Monday.

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:06,280
Speaker 2: Here, let's go. Let's you're going to win, my.

3
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:08,640
Speaker 1: Lord, my goodness.

4
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 2: A tradition for us with the.

5
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 1: Coach after a win.

6
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:17,640
Speaker 2: That is like any other.

7
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 1: It is a tradition unlike any other. How's the lip?

8
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:22,800
Speaker 1: It's fine, You're okay? Yeah, all right?

9
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 2: If I was fine the second ha happened.

10
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 1: Milton Williams said afterwards, he forgot you weren't wearing a helmet.

11
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 1: Maybe going forward that might be something you want to

12
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:32,879
Speaker 1: do out there on the sidelines.

13
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 2: Helm would to remind them that I'm not wearing one,

14
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 2: probably remind them of that.

15
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:41,879
Speaker 1: Well, not a not an offensive shootout.

16
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:43,480
Speaker 2: These are delicious blueberries.

17
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 1: Those are for you complimentary, you know, not a not

18
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 1: a shootout game, but one in which the defense was extraordinary.

19
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 3: Yes, I played a lot of great efforts from everybody,

20
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 3: and mentioned this last night.

21
00:00:58,000 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 2: We play a lot of people on defense.

22
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 3: Everybody has a different role sometimes on third down, first

23
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 3: and second down.

24
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 2: Uh, and that's that's.

25
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 3: Great to see, you know, just that everybody's locked in

26
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 3: and they feel like their role is important, which it is.

27
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 3: And uh doing a great job you know from the

28
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 3: staff to get everybody kind of in the right spots

29
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 3: to to be able to help us and rotate and

30
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 3: and and get guys in there now.

31
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:25,759
Speaker 4: Roberts Plain said after the game, some of the guys

32
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 4: from the Charges were, you know what you guys are

33
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:32,479
Speaker 4: running defensively coverage wise, and in that game, yes, say,

34
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 4: looked like you brought a little bit more pressure than normal.

35
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 4: Was it something specific against the Charges or what pressure.

36
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,199
Speaker 2: Did to them? Well, sometimes we don't know what coverage

37
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 2: we're running, So that's that's a good thing we did,

38
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 2: trying to mix in the uh, the pressure.

39
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 3: You know again, sometimes that's that's how it goes. You

40
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 3: just have to rely on different elements and to be

41
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 3: able to to mix it up. And you know, when

42
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 3: you do that, the secondary has to be really good.

43
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 3: The pressure has to to get there. And you know,

44
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 3: when we did pressure, I felt like there it was impactful.

45
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: So did you change the mac and cheese or you

46
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: didn't change?

47
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 2: No, we don't. We didn't change. No change, you don't

48
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 2: experiment on Thanks.

49
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 5: Okay, despite the split lit for Milton Williams to have

50
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 5: kind of the exclamation mark at the end of that one.

51
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 5: Dealing with injury throughout the season, to make that comeback

52
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 5: and perform the way he is. How proud are you

53
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:27,359
Speaker 5: of him?

54
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 3: Well, I mean he's he wants that that role. He

55
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 3: wants to be able to do those things. We saw

56
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 3: him do that at different times earlier in the season

57
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,679
Speaker 3: and then you know he had missed missed a few

58
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 3: weeks and you know, worked hard to get back and

59
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 3: it was able to get do some stuff at the

60
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,239
Speaker 3: end of the regular season. H just to be prepared

61
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,119
Speaker 3: for this game and to be able to work through

62
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 3: some of those things that that are associated when you're

63
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 3: coming back from an ankle sprain, and so I think

64
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 3: those are all things that you know or to his credit,

65
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 3: I think to the staffs, credit to the training staff

66
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 3: and everybody involved with that to kind of map that

67
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 3: out and be ready to you know, have him ready

68
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 3: and where he needs to be to impact games in January.

69
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:12,519
Speaker 4: And now when you look at the other side of

70
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 4: the football offensively, you guys had some struggles when it

71
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 4: came to the pass rush a little bit, some stunts

72
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,239
Speaker 4: and games. There are the things that you can take

73
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 4: from this game to say, especially for the younger guys, hey,

74
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 4: we need to be a little bit more alert for

75
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:27,639
Speaker 4: this moving forward.

76
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, we always do.

77
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 3: You know what I mean, when we throw a quick game,

78
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 3: we can't progress back through. I mean, that's you know,

79
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 3: there's a lot of things we can call the line,

80
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 3: and you know, Drake knows that when we call quick game,

81
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 3: if it's not there, you can't sit there. And you know,

82
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 3: it's just not the recipe and in that situation to

83
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 3: reserve the right to punt and take care of the

84
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 3: football and where the game was. And so there's a

85
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 3: lot of things for us to improve on, starting at

86
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,119
Speaker 3: the top all the way down. And I think that's

87
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 3: what's been great about this thing is that we've all

88
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 3: been to accept responsibility and improve and be critical of

89
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 3: our performances and and try to get better because that's

90
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 3: what we've talked about that the teams that continue to

91
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 3: improve are the ones that stick.

92
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 6: Around, Mike, the back and forth where you have the

93
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 6: tipped interception and then your defense comes in and has

94
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 6: that phenomenal fourth down stand that to me symbolizes your season.

95
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 6: Where one side might not be doing their best, the

96
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 6: other side picks them up. The complimentary football was on

97
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 6: full display.

98
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 3: Well just wherever we have to go and play defense

99
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 3: and whatever we needed from offensive perspective, from a situation

100
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 3: they've been good at at the other of half and

101
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 3: it looked like a carbon copy of last week.

102
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 2: Just being able to.

103
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 3: Use the quarterback's legs at the end of the half,

104
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 3: but defensively, to be able to do that early in

105
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 3: the game and a playoff game that that was critical,

106
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 3: you know, really set the tone for the entire game

107
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 3: and gave them, you know, a lot of comp Ga

108
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 3: gave our guys a lot of confidence that wherever they

109
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 3: put the ball, they go play defense, and you know,

110
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 3: I thought that was great and being able to get

111
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 3: the crowd back into it after you know, unfortunate tip

112
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 3: tip pass interception.

113
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 5: Drake was the first to say not his best game,

114
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 5: but gave all of the credit to the defense. I

115
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,159
Speaker 5: think what's most impressive for me is watching him. He

116
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 5: doesn't let himself spiral.

117
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 2: He stays in.

118
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 5: It shows grit in a game like that. Is that

119
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 5: rare to see such a young player display something like

120
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 5: that when the lights are the brightest.

121
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 3: I think it's hard for me to say that. I've

122
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 3: only been around you know, Deshaun and Houston who was young,

123
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 3: and uh, you know, we had you know, we had

124
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:45,479
Speaker 3: veteran quarterbacks, you know, with with Ryan and Tennessee.

125
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 2: So for what Drake was able to do, I thought

126
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:50,039
Speaker 2: it was huge to be able to.

127
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 3: Gain its you know, explosive plays with his legs when

128
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 3: when he needed to and then obviously to throw it

129
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 3: a Hunter off platform.

130
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 2: Treyvion comes up and you know, that's a lot harder

131
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 2: than what it looks.

132
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 3: Trevion's got to get around Drake and I've seen fumbles caused,

133
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,279
Speaker 3: and you know he's got to be able to avoid

134
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,239
Speaker 3: Drake and then come back and and get the pressure,

135
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 3: pick up the pressure. Drake was able to slide and

136
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 3: then really throw an unbelievable ball to Hunter.

137
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 2: We needed that.

138
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,479
Speaker 1: He is he is so good when it comes to

139
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: that to scrambling out of There are there times though,

140
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 1: where he needs to just take a sack and not

141
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 1: try to make something happen because of a potential turnover.

142
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 3: Well I don't know about just taking a sack, but

143
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 3: again reserving the right uh to to punt when when

144
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 3: we you know, when we don't have it and the

145
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 3: game would dictate that. But there's you know, again, there's

146
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,039
Speaker 3: gonna be bodies around you, and I think we have

147
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 3: to you know, we've we've transferred up into the pocket,

148
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:54,159
Speaker 3: we've been strong with the ball before, and so we'll

149
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 3: have to you know, continue to do those things as.

150
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 2: We you know, play here this week here in January.

151
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,839
Speaker 3: Sure, the conditions are going to be probably pretty similar.

152
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 2: We'll see what happens on Sunday, Mike.

153
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 4: When when you look at your team, you know, it's

154
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 4: about building the team that you see and the identity,

155
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 4: the character. I mean, I saw that story on you

156
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 4: guys in the four eaches, and then you start to

157
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 4: see this team and what they are. When did it

158
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 4: click for you and say, Okay, this team could be

159
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 4: a real contender.

160
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 3: I just think it's a continual I mean a long

161
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 3: time ago. I mean I believe that we could. I

162
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 3: always believe that we could. I think that that's my

163
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 3: job is to instill that belief and show them why,

164
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 3: but also continue to coach and teach and hold everyone

165
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 3: accountable the best of my ability.

166
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 2: But I think that that continues to grow.

167
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 3: You can't sit there and you know, we've got to

168
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 3: be able to you know, hopefully enjoy what happened last night,

169
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 3: but quickly move on and focus on what the next

170
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 3: challenge is.

171
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 6: They were trying to make heads or tails of the

172
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 6: play that passed back to Drake May on the NBC

173
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 6: broadcast last night. They were theorizing that Drake should have

174
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 6: kept running a little faster. Was that that he slowed

175
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 6: down and maybe if he had kept in Strode he

176
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 6: would have caught it. What was your thoughts on that?

177
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 3: My thoughts on why he just didn't hit it? I mean,

178
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 3: that's that's what happens. I mean, we practiced something, We

179
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 3: practiced something. That was the situation we talked about calling

180
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 3: it in.

181
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 2: Had the look.

182
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, sometimes you hit those and sometimes

183
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 3: you don't.

184
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 1: Midway point second quarter, you were looking for something from

185
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 1: the officials wasn't clear on television or I was distracted

186
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 1: eating something. What were you remember what you were looking

187
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 1: for there?

188
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 2: Yeah? I thought the receiver covered up the tight end

189
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:47,199
Speaker 2: on the other side.

190
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 3: And you know, it seems like all those plays that

191
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 3: I want to get, you know.

192
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 2: Hot at happen on the other side.

193
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter, right, what does he say when you're

194
00:08:58,320 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 1: yelling at him, He's like, hey.

195
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 3: Hey, he said he said he wasn't covered up. I said,

196
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 3: we'll wait for the second half. I'll remind him that

197
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 3: he was covered up.

198
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 5: Christian Gonzalez was great until he headed to the locker

199
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 5: room with that head injury. He told the media that

200
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 5: he wasn't allowed to speak to media, but then also

201
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:14,680
Speaker 5: said he felt fine.

202
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 2: Have you talked to him?

203
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 5: Does he seem like he's going to be okay?

204
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I did talk to him, yes, and so

205
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 3: we'll go through whatever the steps are that.

206
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 2: Would require him to pass through whatever he needs to do.

207
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 3: So without having seen him today, I can't sit here

208
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 3: and speculate.

209
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 2: I just know that they wouldn't let him go back

210
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 2: in the game. Any difference in terms of preparation.

211
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 6: If it's the Texans who you haven't faced, you have

212
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 6: the Steelers Texans tonight to decide who plays you next week.

213
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 2: In preparation from a coaching scouting, yeah, just.

214
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 3: You know, we have to be able to be prepared

215
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 3: and do some work on both of them. Probably have

216
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 3: seen the Steelers more than what we've seen the Texans,

217
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:03,479
Speaker 3: and then we'll have to be ready to quickly transition

218
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 3: as the game unfolded tonight.

219
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 1: We brought up identity. Drake was asked postgame last night

220
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 1: about what changed this year to last year. And he

221
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,320
Speaker 1: said it was the identity. What is from your perspective,

222
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 1: what is the identity of this football team.

223
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 3: Well, I think we believe in each other. I think

224
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,959
Speaker 3: that they are a close football team. I think they

225
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 3: actually enjoy coming to work and playing with each other

226
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 3: and you know, building that camaraderie, the jokes, the tough love,

227
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 3: everything that goes on inside of a locker room. On

228
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 3: the field, I mean, hopefully we see an effort. I

229
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 3: hope you hope that people watch us and say, you know,

230
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 3: they play hard, they run full tilted the tackle and

231
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 3: you know they try to finish longer than the guy

232
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:54,559
Speaker 3: with the ball. You know, at our best, we take

233
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 3: care of football. Were good Situationally, I think we try

234
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 3: to take advantage of bad football. There's an understanding of

235
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,560
Speaker 3: what's going on, you know. I think you hopefully see

236
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 3: guys playing with with some technique and some details, and

237
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 3: you know that's really what we're trying to do.

238
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 4: There is definitely watching this team, there's definitely a uniqueness

239
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 4: to it. When you have guys that are selfless players

240
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 4: that do run to the football, that are willing to

241
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 4: block on the offensive side of the football, especially you

242
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 4: know when it's not just about receiving the football. How

243
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 4: do you get guys, I mean, every guy to buy

244
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 4: into that, you know what I mean. It's it just

245
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:43,680
Speaker 4: seems like every guy is genuine when they're talking about that.

246
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 2: How did you get them to really really.

247
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 3: Just set the expectations. You show them what it looks like,

248
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 3: You show them how important it is. You show them

249
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 3: different clips around the league or something that they've done,

250
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 3: and you know, standing around watching a guy get the

251
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 3: shit knocked out of them, I'm like, does anybody want

252
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 3: to be the guy that has the ball?

253
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 2: Why everybody else is standing around?

254
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 3: We can do that too, And then slowly they start

255
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 3: to realize, well, if this guy's going to do it

256
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:14,079
Speaker 3: for me when I've got the ball, then it's expected

257
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 3: for me to be able to go and block when

258
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,559
Speaker 3: when I don't have the football. And then again, nobody's perfect,

259
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:21,439
Speaker 3: none of us are. And so you just continue to

260
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 3: show them, hey, we missed an opportunity here to transition.

261
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 2: Guy comes in and hits the ball carrier, and so

262
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 2: we just keep showing them. And then you show them

263
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 2: that plays never over defensively, you know, and you try

264
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:37,079
Speaker 2: to make that part of your identity and your fabric

265
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 2: and it becomes second nature. You practice that way, you condition,

266
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 2: and you get enough guys with the right mindset.

267
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,559
Speaker 5: You talk about scouting for the Texans in the Steelers.

268
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 5: I asked Wiggy this earlier this morning. Can you take

269
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:52,080
Speaker 5: anything from that first game against the Steelers or.

270
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 2: Is this to take care of the ball just so different? Now?

271
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean yeah, again, I'm sure there's gonna be

272
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 3: some things that are going to be different. But I

273
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 3: think you just see all the hard work that you

274
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:04,680
Speaker 3: can put in into a football game to be able

275
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 3: to move the ball, to be able to get it

276
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 3: down in the red zone.

277
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 2: But just take care of the ball.

278
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 3: And also there's there's some things that you know, protecting

279
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 3: the guy with the ball. You know, we talked a

280
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 3: lot about that. It's not just on the guy carry

281
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 3: the ball, and he's got a responsibility.

282
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 2: You know.

283
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 3: Defensively, you can't you can't relax, you can't take a nap.

284
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 3: They hit a hit a shot on us, double move

285
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 3: and you know, just not taking things for granted.

286
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:32,599
Speaker 1: Also, you'd probably be able to help him out a

287
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 1: little bit on the Steelers, right, I mean, watch.

288
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,680
Speaker 2: Watch awful lot of football time. What time you guys

289
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 2: flying out here watch it on TV. But I'm a

290
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 2: Patriots fan. You guys would be flying out a handscomb

291
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 2: or something. I take it.

292
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 1: I don't know if you're going to be I don't

293
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 1: think you're allowed at the stadium on Sunday. If you're

294
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 1: planning on coming, I would love to know.

295
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:57,959
Speaker 2: I would love to go.

296
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 5: I don't know which side would I mean tickets, I'll

297
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 5: be ready for the past.

298
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 2: Record, yes on record.

299
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 6: Answer, I mean Stacy Brave's already got you like.

300
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 2: A whole Force fan.

301
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 6: We all know, uh, the how, the how you sort

302
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 6: of get here. You talk about the culture we've been

303
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 6: talking about. You know, when did you know that this

304
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 6: was a team that could get here? How big is

305
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 6: something like Ramandre right, you go back to that Steelers game.

306
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 6: You know, a guy that has fumbling issues early in

307
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 6: the year, you're a new head coach bringing, you know,

308
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 6: coming off two very bad seasons, where you so strongly

309
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 6: stand behind him, and the guys see that it's not

310
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 6: just words, it's you're going to stand up for them.

311
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 6: And this is an example of that. I don't I'm

312
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 6: not one mistake away from losing my job.

313
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a hard way to to operate. I don't

314
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 3: that that we can't operate like that. You can't get

315
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 3: the best out of people. And if you think that

316
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 3: if I make a mistake, now there's got to be

317
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 3: a certain point that you know, I have obligation to

318
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 3: the to the football team if that becomes something that's

319
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 3: just repeated. But we want to create an environment where

320
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 3: you know you can go out and you can play aggressively.

321
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 3: And part of playing aggressively is mistakes are going to happen,

322
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 3: but but you're not going to win much being cautious either.

323
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 3: So we have to continue to try to when you

324
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 3: speak about that, we have to continue to try to

325
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 3: be aggressive with the football in our hands to make

326
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 3: people miss, to break tackles, but also not be reckless.

327
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 2: And we tried to do that.

328
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 3: But you know, you continue, you coach things, and and

329
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 3: you realize if people are working on things and working

330
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 3: on proven and you see it, there's got to be

331
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 3: some small victories along the way. I think that's that's

332
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 3: critical when you talk about development of players, that they

333
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 3: have to not only hear that they're getting better, but

334
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 3: they have to actually feel it.

335
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 2: They have to get some reps, they have.

336
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 3: To get opportunities that they didn't have based on their

337
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 3: And when.

338
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 4: You speak about some of these opportunities and getting those opportunities,

339
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 4: how do you make sure that they understand walking the

340
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 4: fine line. I remember when I was a player, it's

341
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 4: about having the confidence. And you win a football game

342
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 4: like this and you're failing pretty confident but still staying focused,

343
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 4: but still having that confidence week in and week out

344
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 4: to go out there and never let that confidence waver

345
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 4: into what you're doing and knowing that like, Okay, I

346
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 4: can do this consistently at a high level.

347
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I mean we have to have confidence and

348
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 3: that's built over time and try to have some consistency,

349
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 3: and then the momentum has to be built up through

350
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 3: the week. You can't can't sit there and say that

351
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 3: the same momentum from the game is going to be

352
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 3: there on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. It's going to be built

353
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 3: up through your week of practice that hopefully Friday and

354
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 3: Saturdays look a lot better than that Wednesdays and Thursdays

355
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 3: just by new plays that you're putting in or new scheme.

356
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 3: But you know, we talk about you know, the coaches,

357
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 3: you know, making connections with the player just to try

358
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:06,199
Speaker 3: to provide that trust and confidence for them to do

359
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:09,920
Speaker 3: their job. And however we get there, you know that

360
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 3: that's our job.

361
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 1: By the end of the week speaking of doing their job.

362
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:15,880
Speaker 1: Look like, at least on television, the fans did their

363
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:16,680
Speaker 1: job last night.

364
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 2: Continue to be amazing.

365
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:23,680
Speaker 3: You know that swing there where we had the turnover

366
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 3: there and the stop, just the crowd noise and the

367
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 3: energy and the excitement. Again, we want to give them

368
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 3: reasons to to cheer and to celebrate. I think our

369
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 3: football team, I think our players have done that and

370
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 3: they've responded.

371
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:40,679
Speaker 6: Do you get more nerves for your playoff game as

372
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 6: a coach here or when you're a player?

373
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 2: Like? Are you more or is it the same? Uh?

374
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 2: There's well I always say this you.

375
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:52,959
Speaker 3: I didn't have a lot of sleepless nights as a

376
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,399
Speaker 3: as a player. You just you kind of go to

377
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:58,479
Speaker 3: bed and your back at work and you start coaching

378
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 3: and and you think a lot of think about a

379
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:02,400
Speaker 3: lot more so.

380
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:04,440
Speaker 1: Do you have you so you have sleepless nights?

381
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 2: Now?

382
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:08,440
Speaker 3: Well, I mean they're not completely sleepless, but there's moments

383
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 3: of turning where you're hey, did we get this covered?

384
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 3: What we got to remember? For tomorrow.

385
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 2: I can't forget to do this.

386
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:19,639
Speaker 1: How long does it after a win like last night?

387
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 1: Does it take you a while to fall asleep?

388
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 2: Yeah?

389
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:24,719
Speaker 3: I mean it takes you a while to get out

390
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 3: of here too, So it's a good, good combination.

391

396
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 3: We talk about the one play making the difference, whether

397
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 3: that's the fourth down stop or you know, a big

398
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:55,439
Speaker 3: kick or quarterback scrambling or a throw strip sack, whatever

399
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:58,359

400
