1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,800
Speaker 1: Four games against the best defensive lines in the league,

2
00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:05,640
Speaker 1: Ram Seahawks and Texans.

3
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:08,560
Speaker 2: This is obviously one that's got as good I got better.

4
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:12,559
Speaker 1: How do those games prepare you to face this caliber

5
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 1: of the defensive front?

6
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean you've you've got a little bit of

7
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 3: experience playing some good rushes that also get matched with

8
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 3: the back end and playing their coverage as well as

9
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 3: you know, so it all kind of ties in.

10
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:25,919
Speaker 4: But up front, it.

11
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:29,639
Speaker 3: Definitely helps being able to go against quality opponents and

12
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 3: quality individuals for most of the season.

13
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 4: In a lot of ways.

14
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:36,240
Speaker 3: Up front, it's like every week we are doing the

15
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 3: what it takes game wreckers type dealing. It always starts upfront,

16
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:44,159
Speaker 3: and that's pretty typical for most teams. So great challenge

17
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 3: for our guys, but I feel like, you know, hey,

18
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 3: we continue to rise to those challenges and those guys

19
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 3: up front take it personally.

20
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 4: On Kobe's contract descension signed this morning, and obviously you're

21
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 4: not so.

22
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 3: Behind the scenes, but maybe you and your staff conversations

23
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 3: you have.

24
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 2: The problems about the importance of around long term.

25
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think just the obvious connection between he and Trevor.

26
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 3: Early on, you could feel that there was chemistry there

27
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:15,400
Speaker 3: and guy that's prepared like a true pro since he's

28
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,320
Speaker 3: got here. And you know, anytime you can get guys

29
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 3: like that where you have a continued chemistry and you

30
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 3: feel like it continued, it gets better each week, and

31
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 3: really happy for the.

32
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 1: Guy early on he goes out there plays against Euston,

33
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: just how valuable he just how he was able to

34
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:34,040
Speaker 1: get things.

35
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, the first week was pretty impressive with how he

36
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,759
Speaker 3: operated him in the walkthrough settings and in practice and

37
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 3: actually didn't end up winning that game, you know, against Houston,

38
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 3: but he was a part of that tough time and

39
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 3: and also made some plays in that game, and you

40
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 3: could kind of tell that it.

41
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 4: Was it was going to be a good fit and

42
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 4: it's continued to be.

43
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 3: And really the most important thing is his teammates really

44
00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:00,559
Speaker 3: like him. The offensive line loves him, and that's usually

45
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 3: where you can kind of check the moral compass of

46
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 3: the person.

47
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: About the organization to do it. So, I mean, is

48
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: there a message door as well to do it right

49
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:12,920
Speaker 1: now in this.

50
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 3: Sever No, you know, it's just conversations started to be

51
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 3: able to come between us and Jacoby in terms of

52
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 3: wanting to make this thing, you know a little bit

53
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 3: more permanent, and so it was more so just I

54
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 3: think those conversations started pretty naturally, I guess you could say,

55
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 3: on both sides, and we were able to get to

56
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 3: a nice agreement. So it wasn't much of a message, honestly.

57
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 3: It's more just, hey, you always want to continue to

58
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 3: send them send a message. I guess too that we

59
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 3: always want to pay the person out the player in

60
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,519
Speaker 3: a lot of ways, right, and his teammates love them.

61
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 2: See what what? What kind of message do you think

62
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:54,079
Speaker 2: that sensitive?

63
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 3: The longer roum just knowing that if you could come in,

64
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 3: do your job, do well, you'll get rewarded.

65
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's I think everybody.

66
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,359
Speaker 3: Every guy understands that predic a production based business, and

67
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 3: you know, guys can see who does what and and

68
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 3: I think the locker room typically.

69
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 4: Knows their peers pretty well.

70
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 3: And so it's one of those deals where it's, you know,

71
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 3: you always want to try to earn what you get

72
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 3: in this league. As as players, as coaches, as teams,

73
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 3: I think those guys all understand that.

74
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 2: A uniquely productive player.

75
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 3: The combination of the traits physical traits along with his

76
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 3: obvious pattern recognition, concept recognition, ability to catch up if

77
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 3: he does get edged, and the length to finish is

78
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 3: definitely something that stands out.

79
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 4: And his competitiveness. I mean he'll come up.

80
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 3: In crack a place on a tackle on duo and

81
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 3: you know that's what definitely makes him a little bit

82
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 3: more of that all purpose, can do it all type.

83
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 2: Coin you guys are obviously you guys have had a

84
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 2: lot of penalties. That has had a lot of penalties.

85
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 2: It hasn't really affected the win loss record at all.

86
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 2: But when you're in a matchup like that, do you

87
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,559
Speaker 2: talk about like the crew and things that they tendencies

88
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,359
Speaker 2: that they have. Is that communicated to the players or

89
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 2: do you kind of stay out of that?

90
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 4: Yeah?

91
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,919
Speaker 3: No, yeah, oh yeah, it's part of Situational Masters every Friday.

92
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,919
Speaker 3: So yeah, we have to be as educated as possible

93
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:32,280
Speaker 3: on as many elements without clouding their minds with things

94
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 3: that you want them to just go play, right, But

95
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 3: when you've got the two highest penalized teams in the

96
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 3: NFL going against each other with a crew that may

97
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 3: call a decent amount of specific calls right or wherever

98
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 3: they rank, well, you got to address that and just

99
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 3: bring it up. And look, we're trying to be as

100
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 3: disciplined as humanly possible, right, Like I want our guys

101
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,599
Speaker 3: playing on the edge. We've talked about that a lot,

102
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:02,119
Speaker 3: but playing in this type of game obviously with the crowd,

103
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 3: noise on the road, all that it's maturity and discipline

104
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 3: is going to win this football game in a lot

105
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 3: of ways for us.

106
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 1: Even with Jordan Eric, you know, coming back healthy jury

107
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,559
Speaker 1: and you have still been able to have roles and play.

108
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 1: Why was that important and what does that say about

109
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:20,039
Speaker 1: the defensive staff just you know finding areas for Yeah.

110
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:24,279
Speaker 3: That's development right and in depth and competition and guys

111
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 3: making the most of some of their opportunities, and you

112
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 3: want to continue to foster that growth. The more roles

113
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 3: you can give and provide players I think to help

114
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:38,679
Speaker 3: them stay engaged to use their talents on the field

115
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 3: to help us win is great. As many times and

116
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 3: many guys that you can have find roles for that

117
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 3: they take pride in that they want to study and

118
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 3: know so that on Sundays when their number their numbers called,

119
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 3: they want to go and execute at a high level.

120
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 3: So credit to those guys on the defensive staff for

121
00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 3: being able to continue to find those spots for those

122
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 3: guys and the players for taking advantage of the situations.

123
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 1: On your shoulder after ten post game fist pumps.

124
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:17,039
Speaker 3: No, no, I'm definitely a blackout oftentimes post game, and

125
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 3: so I can't really be held accountable for what I

126
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 3: say and do, no kidd, Yeah, it's been fun.

127
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,160
Speaker 4: Actually, you know, Shane showed a bunch of.

128
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 3: You know, games this season and plays from the games

129
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 3: of the season and specifically at the end, just showing hey, man,

130
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 3: it's it's fun and different. It's the NFL to win

131
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 3: different ways some in days. Some games it's on a

132
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:45,160
Speaker 3: tipped ball and a two point play. Other games you're

133
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 3: kneeing it out. Other games you're having to make miraculous

134
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 3: plays on it and just around the league, right, But

135
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 3: you know, just finding different ways to win is what's

136
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 3: kind of been fun about this team.

137
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:58,720
Speaker 1: For you in a way though you're locked in obviously

138
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 1: and pretty Yeah, is that moment kind of an ex

139
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:03,720
Speaker 1: sail for you?

140
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:05,719
Speaker 4: For sure? Yeah, for sure.

141
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,279
Speaker 3: You're a lot of build up, right, a ton of

142
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 3: prep emotions, communication, You're there's that border of being exhausted

143
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 3: slash adrenaline at different points, and so yeah, even as

144
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 3: a coach, you want to let it loose a little

145
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 3: bit after Tier.

146
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 2: The offensive line responded this week to what's going to

147
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 2: be a pretty tough match.

148
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think those guys have had a good week

149
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 3: in terms of understanding that we got good quality opponents

150
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 3: inside that are are matchups that we we're gonna have

151
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 3: to win some one on ones. We have to be

152
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 3: able to create some movement when we do get double

153
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 3: teams inside, and you know, try to take advantage of

154
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 3: those things with a good, healthy one on one matchup

155
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 3: at times, so you know they understand what's at stake

156
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 3: is oftentimes we already know what the edges are dealing with,

157
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 3: right with some of the speed eating to get off

158
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 3: that those guys have, but you know the guys inside

159
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 3: where they can help and be able to clean the

160
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 3: pocket and continue to try to move the line of

161
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 3: scrimmage that way. I mean, that's gonna be one of

162
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 3: those kind of games this game.

163
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 2: How do you evaluate the whole offensive line knowing that

164
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 2: you've got step.

165
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 3: There going up against your own up against the sweet Yeah,

166
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 3: I mean, I've been proud of our group in terms of,

167
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 3: if you look at the totality of the season, being

168
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 3: able to do some really good things in the run

169
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 3: blocking and the pass protection. Right now, continued continuity and

170
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 3: consistency is hey, that next continued step that we have

171
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 3: three more games to continue to work on. And look,

172
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 3: not every game you're gonna rush for one p fifty

173
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,679
Speaker 3: or throw for three thirty. Right, it's that balance of

174
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 3: what kind of game does it become and how do

175
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 3: you have to go win that game? And so I

176
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:57,839
Speaker 3: think our guys have for the most part done a

177
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 3: nice job of Okay, it's become a little bit more

178
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 3: of a pass game. Well, we don't allow sacks last week.

179
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 3: Whatever it is this game, we're gonna have to be

180
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 3: balanced though.

181
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 2: How important is it to have a tight end like

182
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 2: Brenton that does everything well when you're facing a defense

183
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:13,959
Speaker 2: that presents so many problems like the Broncos do.

184
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, they they definitely like with their ability to play

185
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,439
Speaker 3: and split safeties and then also get a single high

186
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 3: and you know Halfungo being able to come and show

187
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 3: down and blitz and just do a lot of different things.

188
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 4: And so if you can have a tight end or

189
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 4: multiple tight ends.

190
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 3: Be able to create a matchup issue or help us

191
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 3: in the run game, help us also in protections, whether

192
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 3: it's in dropback or play action and then utilize that

193
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 3: person at the first second level of the defense. Is

194
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 3: definitely helpful against a team that mixes up whether they

195
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 3: play man or match or vision zone. So something that

196
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 3: definitely we appreciate about his game.

197
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 2: He's like guard X, really giving you guys a big

198
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 2: boost in terms of gain after the quarterback. What makes

199
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 2: him such a savvy player.

200
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the word is he's savvy. He's slippery, but

201
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 3: he's also violent, you know. I mean he takes takes

202
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 3: blocks on he he whoops blocks at times, and you know,

203
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 3: he's relentless in his approach. The way that he kind

204
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 3: of practices, the way that he plays is definitely something

205
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 3: we appreciate. And I think some some of those different

206
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 3: body type edge rushers can be a little bit of

207
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 3: a pain for some bigger guys.

208
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 4: You know, it's just a.

209
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 3: Different type of UH player that's working edges on you.

210
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 3: And you know he's relentless.

211
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 2: What is kind of vocal and you know we've obviously

212
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 2: seen him going out some players and stuff like that.

213
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 2: Do you try and rein him.

214
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 3: In it all or.

215
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 4: No, no shot, let him rip.

216
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 2: That's good
