1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,040
Speaker 1: Hey, Brian, I'm just curious if you have any updated

2
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:05,080
Speaker 1: wearing on Graham Gano.

3
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:09,600
Speaker 2: He has a hamstring, so we'll see where he's at,

4
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:11,399
Speaker 2: and I would assume it's it's gonna be a few

5
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:11,879
Speaker 2: weeks here.

6
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:15,320
Speaker 1: So what you're planning going forward a kicker.

7
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 2: We'll work guys out and and Jude has been with us,

8
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:20,599
Speaker 2: so we'll make the you know, we'll make a decision

9
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:23,440
Speaker 2: off of the workout, you know, based on how they

10
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 2: do in the workout, and then Jude, gotcha, And I

11
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 2: guess I'll do.

12
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 1: One more when you look back on what was the

13
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 1: biggest problem with the run defense yesterday?

14
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd say two things. Usually this happens for for

15
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 2: run defense, two things tackling and then run fits. So

16
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 2: those are two things that you know, we're really gonna

17
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,639
Speaker 2: we stress them every week, but put an added emphasis

18
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 2: on him this week.

19
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 3: Gotcha, Please raise your hand if you have a question

20
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 3: Bran's on, Hey Bryant, two things. First, your running game.

21
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 3: The offensive line, it seemed like probably got overshadowed a

22
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 3: little bit, but it seemed the holes were pretty sizable.

23
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 3: What did you think of the way I know they

24
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 3: were hard on themselves for their run blocking after week one.

25
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 3: What'd you think of that, particularly with the offensive line.

26
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd just say the offense in general, I thought

27
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 2: made very good improvements from week one to week two.

28
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 2: You know, we stayed on track, we played in positive

29
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 2: down in distances, we ran with the ball well, I'd say,

30
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 2: the receivers blocked well. You know, that was a really

31
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 2: good run to start off the game by Motor and

32
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 2: a great block by Slayton coming in on the right side,

33
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 2: and then you know, Motor making the guy missed the crack,

34
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 2: replaced guy. Wasn't a lot of free runners most of

35
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 2: the time. We got a hat for a hat, we

36
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 2: got movement at the line, and I thought Motor ran

37
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 2: ran well, saw the hole, well made goods got downhill.

38
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 2: You know, that was an improvement. The pass protection was

39
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 2: an improvement. You know, we didn't have very many negative plays,

40
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:13,079
Speaker 2: which helps offensively when you're moving the ball. So you know,

41
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 2: there's a lot a lot of good things that came

42
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 2: out of that and a lot of improvements on that

43
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 2: side of the ball.

44
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 3: And then big picture wise, Brian Oh in two teams,

45
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 3: I don't have the stats in front of you, but

46
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 3: Oh and two teams don't usually get to the playoffs.

47
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 3: They don't usually make much of their seasons. This team,

48
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 3: this organization has been oh and two nine in the

49
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 3: last twelve years, and not much has come of those seasons.

50
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 3: Is this a pivotal point? Can you feel as the

51
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 3: head coach, as the leader of your locker room? Is

52
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 3: this a pivotal point for you guys in your season

53
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 3: to make sure that which way it turns?

54
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 2: Yeah? I think you just have to focus on the

55
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 2: weekend hand. You know, I've been part of some OW

56
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,920
Speaker 2: and T teams that ended up pretty well. I know

57
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,920
Speaker 2: they have here. So again, what really happened, you know,

58
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,959
Speaker 2: ten years ago or last year, like I've always said,

59
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 2: really has no bearing on on anything this season. You know,

60
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 2: I thought we made some improvements in a lot of areas.

61
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,399
Speaker 2: Need to continue to improve on the things that we're

62
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 2: not doing well at this time and focus on the

63
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 2: Cleveland Browns.

64
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 3: What oh and two team were you part of that

65
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 3: made something that turned something around? I'm sorry, I don't know.

66
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 2: That was a long time ago, two thousand and one,

67
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 2: actually team one and three, So again that's two thousand

68
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 2: and one or twenty twe none of that really matters Ryan,

69
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 2: So what matters is doing the things we need to

70
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 2: do internally to fix some of the things that you

71
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 2: know we're having issues with. I think again, there's been

72
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 2: some improvement. There was improvement in the red zone defense

73
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 2: from week one to week two. There was improvement, i'd say,

74
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 2: in almost every area offensively, and we need to continue

75
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 2: to build off of those things and then fix the

76
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 2: things that aren't up to standard.

77
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 4: Thanks Ken Jones, Hey Jabs, can you hear me?

78
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 2: Gotcha?

79
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 1: Noting of course that you're only two games in, but

80
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: did you have to kind of uplift any spirits or

81
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 1: give a little pep talk.

82
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 3: To your team about this not being, you know, a

83
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 3: lost season or the idea that you can turn it

84
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 3: around starting this week?

85
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean we've started, this is two games in,

86
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:23,359
Speaker 2: so it's a long NFL season. Again, we had a

87
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 2: good week of preparation. I thought there were a lot

88
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 2: of good things in the game. I thought there was

89
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 2: improvements again from week one to week two, and that's

90
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 2: where our focus needs to be.

91
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 4: Was there anything different after the game or this morning

92
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 4: about your interaction with ownership?

93
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 2: No consistent? Yeah, okay, thank you.

94
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 4: Tom Canneman, Hey Brian, how you doing, Hey, Tom, Two

95
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 4: quick questions, are there are there any other people players

96
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 4: you're worried about as far as injury other than Graham?

97
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 2: No, okay.

98
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 4: And the second question is, I mean, I know how

99
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 4: much you've always said how much you hate to lose.

100
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 5: It was yesterday one of those games where you sat

101
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 5: there and said, how did we lose?

102
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,599
Speaker 3: I mean it was you should have won.

103
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd say anytime, anytime you lose, you're not happy.

104
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 2: So again, there was opportunities to be had. And you know,

105
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, they made they made

106
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 2: one more play than we did. So uh again again,

107
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,720
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna uh, you know, make an excuse. They

108
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 2: played well. I thought, again, we did some good things.

109
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 2: It just came up short. Thank you, yep, Jordan.

110
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 5: Or on.

111
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:45,039
Speaker 1: Hey, Brian, when you mentioned earlier things that aren't up

112
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:46,840
Speaker 1: to our standard that you kind of have to pix,

113
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 1: I was wondering what what comes to your mind when

114
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 1: you say that, Like what specifically, maybe one little example

115
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 1: are you talking about?

116
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 2: Well, I talked about one of them is our run

117
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 2: defense and our run fits and our tackling, you know,

118
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 2: our ball security, which was a big fumble there at

119
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 2: the start of the second half, which we had a

120
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,600
Speaker 2: good drive going. Those are the big things that we

121
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 2: need to make sure we take care of and improve on.

122
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 1: And then with Jalen Hide in particular, and we asked

123
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 1: you kind of about this last week, but I'm curious,

124
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: he hasn't played a ton now in either of the

125
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 1: first two games. What does he have to do to

126
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: show you that, you know, he deserves more playing time.

127
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,840
Speaker 2: I think he got thirteen or fourteen plays. Again, that's

128
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 2: not because of Jalen Hyatt. You know, Slay's doing a

129
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 2: nice job with his opportunities of doing the things that

130
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 2: he needs to do. And then we sprinkle in Hyatt,

131
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:47,039
Speaker 2: you know, in particular plays and then neighbors is you know,

132
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 2: he's been on the field most of the time, and

133
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:53,160
Speaker 2: we've mixed in twelve, we mixed in you know, eleven personnel,

134
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 2: not as much ten personnel. But he'll be ready to

135
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 2: go in his numbers called.

136
00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 1: But aren't You're surprised in a bit that he has

137
00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 1: you know, do not you haven't gotten them involved at all, really,

138
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 1: zero patches. I know you you know you invested him

139
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: last year. You know you give him a lot of

140
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 1: opportunity there was you know, a lot of first team

141
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: reps this summer. How much do you feel like you

142
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: need to get something out of him?

143
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 2: Yeah? I think we need to get stuff out of everybody.

144
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 2: But again, you know the two receivers that that do

145
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 2: start our sligh and neighbors. He's the third guy in

146
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 2: per se when we go two receiver sets, and he's

147
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 2: the fourth guy in the three receiver.

148
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 3: Sets all shorts.

149
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 4: Hey, Brian, A couple of things with a young team.

150
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 4: You know, we mentioned and you mentioned about the youth

151
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 4: of this of this ruster does a does a coach

152
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 4: have to have his antenna up even more in the

153
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 4: locker room with a young team to make sure this

154
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 4: is not here we go again. You know, there hasn't

155
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 4: been a lot of winning the last you know, a

156
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,040
Speaker 4: couple of years, so you know, do you have to

157
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 4: maybe take a lot of ownership with that with.

158
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: A young group.

159
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 2: Yeah. Again, each week we got to focus on the

160
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 2: team we're playing and the things we need to do

161
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 2: to go out there and perform well. And that's where

162
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 2: our guys, our heads are at, that's where they're going

163
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 2: to be at. Learn from the things from one week

164
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 2: to the next and keep improving and do you want more?

165
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 4: You know, I mean, I don't know if anyone's going

166
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 4: to complain about targeting Malik Neighbors, you know, I mean,

167
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 4: they would complain if you didn't target him, I'm sure.

168
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 4: But you know, the tight Ends had a lot of

169
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 4: snaps in the game, and you know they're not really

170
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 4: you know, targeted yesterday certainly is do you want when

171
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 4: this is offense is settled, do you want it to

172
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 4: be a more diversified attack? So maybe Milite does not

173
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 4: have to get eighteen and you know, maybe the theos

174
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,439
Speaker 4: get involved and you know, maybe Devin in the passing.

175
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 1: Game, things like that.

176
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the tight ends were involved. They were

177
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 2: involved in protection and allowing us to throw the ball

178
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:54,079
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five yards down the field or deep comebacks

179
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 2: or goes or posts. So everybody has a role to

180
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 2: do that. That depends on the game and the team

181
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 2: we're playing. And you know, when there's number call, there

182
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 2: are numbers called. I expect them to go out there

183
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 2: and make it whatever that may be, whether it's blocking,

184
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 2: pass blocking, run blocking. You know, it takes all eleven

185
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:11,719
Speaker 2: and you would you like the offense.

186
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 4: To maybe be unshackled at some point where you don't

187
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 4: feel you need to keep the tight ends in, you know,

188
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,679
Speaker 4: to protect as much, and you know, maybe they can

189
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 4: do some of the things that that you would, you know,

190
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 4: think they can do well.

191
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 2: I think that depends on who you're playing and what

192
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 2: you're getting. So, you know, that was I wouldn't say

193
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 2: that was necessarily the plan going in, but that's you know,

194
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 2: that's what we thought we needed to do and I

195
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 2: thought the guys execute it well. I thought they performed.

196
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 2: You know, they stayed on track. You know, I thought

197
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 2: they played well, you know, on the offensive side of

198
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 2: the ball, doing the things we needed to do. You know,

199
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,080
Speaker 2: we missed a couple of big ones down the field,

200
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 2: you know, just couldn't connect on them. But run after

201
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 2: catch was good, route discipline was good, protection was good.

202
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 2: Run game was good. You know that that turnover that

203
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 2: was that was a huge difference in the game. We

204
00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 2: were down one o one oh on turnovers, and you know,

205
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 2: we need to build off this.

206
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 3: Nice. Yep, we'll take two more Art Stapleton.

207
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:13,439
Speaker 5: Games they are with going back to the run fits

208
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,679
Speaker 5: a little bit. Something that Andre Patterson said last week

209
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:18,680
Speaker 5: kind of stands out a little bit in my head.

210
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 5: The idea that you know, with Daniels and the way

211
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 5: he ran in week one kind of gave you six

212
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 5: gaps to cover, and especially if you played certain things

213
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 5: up front, it really, you know, puts you in a

214
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 5: bind in terms of the rush discipline or anything else.

215
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 5: Did you see that kind of come to fruition yesterday?

216
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 5: Maybe played a little tentively upfront and that's how the

217
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 5: you know, the run defense kind of sprung some leaks.

218
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 5: Is that did that have something to do with it?

219
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,440
Speaker 5: The ability of Daniels to kind of break out when

220
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 5: you really weren't. It wasn't a designed run so to speak.

221
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I'd say most of his scrambling the

222
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 2: first game was off of passes. So again, I don't

223
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 2: think they played tentatively. You know, we just got to

224
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 2: do a good job of accounting for all our gaps

225
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 2: and making sure when when we get him into the

226
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 2: open field that we can we can bring him down

227
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 2: tackling too. So the fundamentals of tackling and then the

228
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 2: discipline of gap control are you know, two areas We're

229
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 2: going to continue to work on.

230
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 5: One other thing I wanted to ask you, was that

231
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 5: you know, there were a couple of the yards after catch,

232
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 5: the run after catch from a leak, you know, the

233
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 5: passes to the outside, I know, probably a product of

234
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,199
Speaker 5: the Commanders playing off of him and then crashing down.

235
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 5: Was that something that you guys had worked on coming

236
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 5: in because it seemed like he had a plan as

237
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,959
Speaker 5: soon as he caught the ball, the idea to break

238
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 5: to the outside and really gain probably about ten to

239
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 5: fifteen yards a pop. I'm just curious if that's part

240
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 5: of just his natural awareness. Is that something that you

241
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 5: guys kind of identified that would be a part of

242
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:51,680
Speaker 5: the game plan.

243
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd say it's a combination of both. You know,

244
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 2: he's a talented player that can do things with the

245
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 2: ball in his hand, and you saw that yesterday gain

246
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 2: a lot of yards after contact, as did Mondell when

247
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 2: Mondell got the ball thrown to him. So that's going

248
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 2: to be that's gonna have to be a big part

249
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 2: of our game is is we have players that can

250
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,079
Speaker 2: do something with the ball in their hands in space,

251
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 2: run after catch wise, and we'll continue to build off that. Yep.

252
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 2: Last one, Pat Leonard, Hey, Brian, just curious if you

253
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 2: think the run defense issues do you see personnel changes

254
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 2: that need to happen there, or scheme changes that you

255
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 2: feel need to happen, or do you really think it

256
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 2: just comes down to the execution of the players being better. Yeah,

257
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 2: it's probably just a combination everything. Pat, you know, it's

258
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 2: you know that long when they had on third and one,

259
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:41,680
Speaker 2: you know, we kind of stuffed him up the middle

260
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 2: and we had kind of two guys that thought he

261
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 2: was rushing the pile, so they were trying to push

262
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 2: the pile. He sported out. It was a couple of

263
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:50,839
Speaker 2: crack replaced things that happened, you know, where somebody came

264
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 2: in and cracked one of the forced players so the

265
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,680
Speaker 2: next player's got to fill or just being aggressive and

266
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 2: going to get it. So you know, everybody's accountable to it,

267
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 2: you know. So you know, run defense takes all eleven

268
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 2: to be on the same page and to make sure

269
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 2: i'd say it's not just a gap control what I say,

270
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 2: I'd say tackling too. You know, I think it was

271
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 2: quite a few mistackles yesterday that gives them extra yards,

272
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 2: or gives them first downs or second and short situations,

273
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 2: or takes a third down. You hand it off and

274
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,960
Speaker 2: now you're in a you know, a first down. You know,

275
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 2: we're going to continue to work on those fundamentals. One

276
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,959
Speaker 2: more if you don't mind. Brian Burns several times yesterday

277
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 2: said that the competitive stamina of the team needs to

278
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 2: be better. What does that mean to you in a

279
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 2: game like yesterday? What what is what is competitive stamina? Yeah?

280
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:41,840
Speaker 2: To me, it's finish So you know, it's chasing, it's tackling,

281
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 2: it's gang tackling, it's you know, chasing a ball, care

282
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 2: around offense, it's finishing blocks on a kickoff return. It's

283
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 2: all those things that you need down in and down out,

284
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,200
Speaker 2: you know, on a consistent basis. And I'd say that,

285
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 2: you know, there was a there was a high level

286
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:57,599
Speaker 2: of it most of the time, and then there was

287
00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 2: a few plays that you know, they'll get you. Those

288
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,200
Speaker 2: few plays will get you if we're you know, we're

289
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 2: not all running to the ball, or if we're not

290
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 2: chasing the ball carrier when when the ball carrier fumbles.

291
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 2: Those are things that you know, we continually emphasize, continuously emphasize,

292
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 2: and that's you know, we need to make sure that

293
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 2: that's part of our identity.
