1 00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:05,400 Speaker 1: This is Brody. Okay, you're good. 2 00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:17,119 Speaker 2: Good question, Doug. Yes, can you start us off with 3 00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:18,360 Speaker 2: an update on Trevor. 4 00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:19,880 Speaker 1: I don't have an update yet. 5 00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:22,560 Speaker 2: Okay, how did you think he played? And was there 6 00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:26,000 Speaker 2: any second thoughts on the play call where he's rolling 7 00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:26,800 Speaker 2: out late in the game. 8 00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:30,200 Speaker 1: I thought he played really well, you know, as far 9 00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:32,159 Speaker 1: as that play called me. Those are situations that we 10 00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:34,960 Speaker 1: you know, we we understand too. We were trying to 11 00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:38,040 Speaker 1: get a short sack. Can't necessarily try to circle the defense. 12 00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:40,360 Speaker 1: So part of it's on us, part of it's on Trevor, 13 00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:42,279 Speaker 1: but at the same time we got to be smart there. 14 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:45,400 Speaker 1: But I thought he played played extremely well, saw the 15 00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:48,080 Speaker 1: field again really well, threw the ball well. Just the 16 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:51,879 Speaker 1: one miscommunication with with Christian for the interception, but you 17 00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:52,720 Speaker 1: know we'll clean that up. 18 00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 3: Indy comes out sixteen plays, eight and a half minutes. 19 00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:01,040 Speaker 3: How important was it to respond immediately? Even though the 20 00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:04,040 Speaker 3: score came early in the second quarter, it almost matched them. 21 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:05,800 Speaker 3: I think to drive went more than seven minutes. 22 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:11,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, obviously we try to start the games fast. 23 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:12,840 Speaker 1: You know, it was a good drive by them. I 24 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 1: mean they mixed it up me and ball was out 25 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,920 Speaker 1: of you know, Gardner's hand extremely fast, and you know, 26 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,080 Speaker 1: they did a nice job. They stayed first down, second down, 27 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 1: first down, and you know, went down defense you know 28 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,760 Speaker 1: obviously in the red zone stopped you know, kept them 29 00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 1: to three there. But it was it was good. It 30 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:30,760 Speaker 1: was good for our offense to respond there and get 31 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:36,840 Speaker 1: the touchdown, and you know, just pleased with the effort, 32 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:40,039 Speaker 1: you know, especially in the first half of you know, 33 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 1: defensively creating takeaways and offense scoring, you know, and that's 34 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 1: something we haven't really been able to do, you know, 35 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 1: score in the red zone, and we were able to 36 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 1: do that, and we were able to actually score you know, 37 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,000 Speaker 1: even further out on a couple of plays. So that 38 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 1: was good to see too. 39 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 2: Doug four turnover saved by the defense, fifteen on the year. 40 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 2: I mean, how good of a job or doing How 41 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 2: important is that obviously to get those turnovers. 42 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean the defense sometimes doesn't get enough credit 43 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 1: for that. You know. The takeaways are something that we 44 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 1: as a team talk about, they talk about it as 45 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,919 Speaker 1: a as a defense and and it just it it 46 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,360 Speaker 1: just shortens the field for your offense, right and and 47 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 1: pass rush again today there was pressure on Gardner. You know, 48 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 1: putting it in places maybe he didn't want it to go. 49 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 1: And again just a great team effort on defense to 50 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 1: uh uh play the way they did today. 51 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:36,800 Speaker 2: You have a week how teams respond after the London 52 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 2: Uh I assume not pleased with the effort intensity overall. 53 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, the the effort, the intensity. Guys responded, you know, 54 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,919 Speaker 1: and really all week. You know, it is hard. It's 55 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 1: hard to when you're over there for ten days and 56 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,640 Speaker 1: your bodies are used to that, that that time change 57 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 1: and coming back here it takes it takes a little while, 58 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 1: you know, it takes several days to get back you know, 59 00:02:57,919 --> 00:02:59,679 Speaker 1: back on East Coast time. But the guys handled the 60 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,080 Speaker 1: week extremely well. Proud of them. They had a lot 61 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,240 Speaker 1: of energy again today and that was really good to see. 62 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 1: Now we've got a short week, so you know, we 63 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 1: got to keep that rolling. 64 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 4: Can you talk about was it a concerted effort to 65 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 4: get Brenton Strange in the passing game this week or 66 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:18,920 Speaker 4: was that just something that organically happened. 67 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 1: It kind of more organically happened. You know, every week 68 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,920 Speaker 1: we've got opportunities, you know for him to catch the 69 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 1: football and it just happened this week. 70 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 2: Was the week. 71 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,919 Speaker 1: So it's nothing that we schemed up, you know, specifically 72 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 1: for him, but they're players that have been in each 73 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 1: week and we finally were able to get to him 74 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 1: and call them. 75 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 5: Doug, do you have an update on the other two guys, 76 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 5: Tyson and Brandon? Okay, so hot on a day like 77 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 5: today where you have a couple of guys go down, 78 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 5: does that change your approach to this week or was 79 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 5: your approach going to be so light anyway? How do 80 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 5: you get ready. 81 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 1: For It doesn't matter. I mean, the week's the week, right, 82 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 1: I mean, they anybody that got nicked up in this game, 83 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 1: they just got to live in the training room, you know, 84 00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 1: and get treatment at twenty four to seven, and and 85 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 1: you know, it's just the nature of the week, right 86 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 1: we we we we slowed things down. It becomes more 87 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 1: of a mental day. We're trying to get everybody, you know, 88 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 1: as healthy as we can. You know, we're going into Thursday. 89 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 1: It's on the road, I guess a good football team. 90 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 1: So yeah, it doesn't change the nature of the week. 91 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 1: It was the initial fear on Trevor that it was 92 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:23,919 Speaker 1: pretty severe or in the initial concern level for you 93 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:25,480 Speaker 1: when you saw it happen or when he came off 94 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 1: or I mean, you know, I guess it's the same 95 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,480 Speaker 1: level of concern as when Brandon went down. I'm always 96 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 1: concerned for my players, you know, when then when they 97 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 1: go down in situations like that, you know, and Entyson's 98 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:44,279 Speaker 1: the same way. You know. It's just unfortunate there. But yeah, 99 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 1: we'll see, We'll see where they're at here later tonight 100 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 1: and probably have an update or will have an update 101 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 1: for you tomorrow. 102 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 6: There's going to be people, there'll be people asking why 103 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 6: weren't you running the ball right there? Just running it 104 00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 6: in the line and eating up forty seconds? Can you 105 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,160 Speaker 6: to explain why that call was in? 106 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,559 Speaker 1: Oh, that calls into game plan because it's a movement play. 107 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 1: It allows the quarterback to get on the edge in 108 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 1: situations like that sometimes you know, listen it. You know, 109 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 1: you've seen it. You've seen it work a million times, 110 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 1: right and a million and one It didn't work, but 111 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 1: we were able to get three points out of it, 112 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 1: so from that standpoint, it was effective. You know, It's 113 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,040 Speaker 1: just and look you, is there a little bit of 114 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 1: risk there to you know, run your quarterback? Yes, but 115 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,919 Speaker 1: at the same time, the reward is you get the 116 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 1: first down and you stay on the field and you 117 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,839 Speaker 1: ice the game in no situation. So definitely wouldn't change 118 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 1: you know, the scenario of the situation. We can coach 119 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 1: that a little bit better and ask him maybe to 120 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:43,599 Speaker 1: go down a little bit sooner. 121 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 3: Doug. 122 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,040 Speaker 7: Obviously, the defense, as you mentioned, at a tremendous game, 123 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,360 Speaker 7: but one about the fourth quarter. Ask about that because 124 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 7: obviously not many teams go backwards seventeen yards to get 125 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 7: a field goal out of the whole deal that What 126 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,040 Speaker 7: was your assessment of the fourth quarter? Anything away going 127 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 7: into New Orleans on Thursday? 128 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 1: No, you know, obviously, yeah, you'd you'd love to not 129 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 1: give up that many yards on one particular play. But 130 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 1: you know the fact that you know, Brandon was kicking 131 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,040 Speaker 1: the ball extremely well, so getting the three points there 132 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 1: was was big. It stretched the lead, you know, So 133 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 1: I mean it the fourth quarter. You know, we we 134 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,920 Speaker 1: knew they were going to be in you know, four 135 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 1: downs the rest of the game. So so the defense 136 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,719 Speaker 1: could really put the put the pressure in the pass, 137 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,400 Speaker 1: you know, with the pass rush and again creating the 138 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 1: takeaways they did and putting the offense in short in 139 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 1: short fields. I would much rather some of those things. 140 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, you'd rather have touchdowns obviously in 141 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 1: situations like that, but coming away with points were big. 142 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 6: Dug. Are these three games kind of what you guys 143 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,720 Speaker 6: thought you would be or could be going into the season. 144 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 6: What we've seen these last three weeks. 145 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,599 Speaker 1: I think it's a glimpse of what we can be. 146 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 1: You know, there's still some areas that we have to 147 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 1: we have to clean up, obviously, but you know, I 148 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 1: think I think the team is really in these last 149 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:06,800 Speaker 1: three weeks kind of figure some things out and who 150 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 1: we are as a football team. And and that's exciting 151 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 1: to see that they really embraced that, and you know, 152 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 1: to come away with three wins, especially after the two 153 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 1: losses we had, is it's pretty special for the for 154 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 1: these guys. So I think we're figuring that out, you know. 155 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 1: But again it's you know, six weeks in and a 156 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 1: lot of football head over here. 157 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 4: Can you touch on Josh Allen? He had a strip 158 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 4: sack today. He's been the most consistent pass rusher you've had. 159 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 4: It's a contract year, he's been pretty good the first 160 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 4: six games of this season. Just talk on his play. 161 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 1: Josh's Josh is you know heart and soul on defense 162 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 1: and and he's been playing extremely well and and it's 163 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 1: it's it's it's good to see. You know, there were 164 00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 1: a lot of things. I think he probably felt a 165 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,880 Speaker 1: little you know, pressure maybe to start the season to perform, 166 00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 1: and he's answered he's answered that, and and you know, 167 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 1: he works hard during the week, and so it's no 168 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 1: it's no surprise that this is what he's capable of doing. 169 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 4: And and. 170 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 1: You know, just continues to to find ways to to 171 00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 1: get around the quarterback, to affect the quarterback. Uh, it 172 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 1: obviously impacts the defense, you know, when he's creating the 173 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 1: plays that he's doing, either a tackle for loss or 174 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,319 Speaker 1: you know, a strip, sack, fumble, things of those nature, 175 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,560 Speaker 1: things of that nature, you know. And so it's just 176 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 1: a it's a credit to Josh, you know, and and 177 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 1: and how he's how he's getting himself ready to play. 178 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 3: Doug, you've been here almost a year and a half. 179 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 3: Three straight weeks now halftime leads, two of those double 180 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 3: digit leads. That's that's really rare for this franchise. What 181 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 3: what's it been like coaching with the lead as opposed 182 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 3: to what you're used to coming from. 183 00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:07,439 Speaker 1: Behind it's it's never satisfying. It's still nerve wracking. This 184 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 1: is the NFL, and you see it each week where 185 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:11,679 Speaker 1: a team's way up and the other team comes back right. 186 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 1: Even in college football, it happens. And you know, obviously, yeah, 187 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,439 Speaker 1: you're you're excited, team's playing well. You know you've got 188 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,559 Speaker 1: that type of lead at halftime. But you know, the 189 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 1: message has always been and always will be that we've 190 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 1: got to finish the game right. And I think there 191 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 1: was a little bit of a little offensively to start 192 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:30,240 Speaker 1: the third quarter. I think we went three and out 193 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,440 Speaker 1: right there, and you know, those are things that we 194 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:35,079 Speaker 1: have to we have to fix. That's one of the 195 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:36,199 Speaker 1: areas that we have to address. 196 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 6: Right. 197 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 1: You want to come out in the third, third quarter 198 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 1: there with the ball and and you try to go 199 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,680 Speaker 1: down and get get points if possible. So you know, 200 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 1: the game's never over, games never out of reach. It's evident. 201 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 1: Obviously we experienced that a year ago, and so you know, 202 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:53,599 Speaker 1: my message to the team is always we got to 203 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:57,040 Speaker 1: continue to play for sixty minutes. Thanks good, thank you.
