1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:04,080
Speaker 1: It's been a little minute since I've seen you, guys.

2
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:07,720
Speaker 1: It's good to be back into the fold. Most importantly,

3
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:11,760
Speaker 1: coming off the bye week, I think it was at

4
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 1: the perfect time for us as a team, particularly as

5
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:19,079
Speaker 1: a defense. In getting back this week, I saw a

6
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 1: difference in the guys, just a great level of energy.

7
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:26,479
Speaker 1: Seemed like they were recharged, refreshed mentally as well as

8
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:28,320
Speaker 1: typically and I think they're.

9
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 2: Ready to go. We've had a good week of practice

10
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 2: thus far.

11
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:32,519
Speaker 1: We got to finish on the right note today and

12
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 1: tomorrow before we get on the plane. We're playing a

13
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: good football team, a real good football team, a playoff

14
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 1: team that I think is well coached.

15
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:43,599
Speaker 2: They have some dynamic.

16
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 1: Football players ETN and my opinion is one of the

17
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 1: top backs. He probably don't get the recognition that he deserves,

18
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 1: but three down back that can make it happen in

19
00:00:54,080 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 1: all phases of the game. You look at the tight end, Uh,

20
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: he's phenomenal, you know Ingram just like, I mean, what

21
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 1: what can he do? You know when you watch him

22
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,559
Speaker 1: on tape, he does it all. He's out at number

23
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:10,119
Speaker 1: one at receiver. Uh.

24
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,319
Speaker 2: They put him in a slot uh. Inline blocking for.

25
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 1: Us the run game I think he's phenomenal and of

26
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: course Christian Kirk drafting him in Arizona, uh, still playing

27
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: at a high level. Definitely got to know exactly where

28
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 1: he is at all times, and I think really has

29
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 1: you know, revitalized his career going down there with Peterson.

30
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: He's doing some good things. And you know, when you

31
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: look at the quarterback, he does a great job number one,

32
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: protecting the football, turn it over, you know, And I

33
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 1: think they have a great balance in running and passing

34
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 1: and not trying to put a lot on him, and

35
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: he does an extremely great job for us getting the

36
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: ball out quickly, so and giving an overview of those guys.

37
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 2: We got to go execute, you know.

38
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 1: It's about everything we do up front, number one, stopping

39
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: this run game, and you know, when they are in

40
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: the opportunity where they're going to pass the we got

41
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 1: to execute on the back end. So uh, with that,

42
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 1: I'll take your questions. You mentioned the the energy this week.

43
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,239
Speaker 3: I mean, looking back before the the Bengals game, was

44
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 3: dead noticeable to you that there was a dip in.

45
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 2: Energy at that point? Uh Y you could say that,

46
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 2: uh that we noticed it.

47
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: I noticed it, but we got we got a good group,

48
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 1: and you know sometime for fatigue sets in. So again,

49
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: I thought it came at the right time. It it

50
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,639
Speaker 1: It's definitely never been a question of effort, uh from

51
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 1: our guys and how we practice. I think they go

52
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 1: out and give us everything each and every day. But

53
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 1: you know, when you look at nine weeks in into it,

54
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: I think it came at the right time.

55
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 2: Yesterday that you moved out to the field. Uh.

56
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 3: What what was kind of your input into that decision

57
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 3: and how do you think it can help?

58
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: Oh, I mean, I mean, guys t to me, I

59
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: think I think just very canon. I think we're making

60
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 1: a bigger deal out of it then than it needs

61
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 1: to be, to be honest. But uh, I just want

62
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: to be able to communicate with the guys a little

63
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 1: bit more doing the game. You know, certain things that

64
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: I'm seeing, I'd rather be able to talk to them

65
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,079
Speaker 1: directly than.

66
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 2: You know, to communicate with coaches.

67
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,239
Speaker 1: I think our coaches do a great job number one,

68
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: throughout the week, but also in game adjustments. You know,

69
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 1: that's one of the things I've really you know, pride

70
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 1: ourselves on and how we communicate as a staff and

71
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 1: making the right things throughout the game. So it's just

72
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 1: really with me just wanting to be able to communicate

73
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: with those guys a little bit more. You mentioned in

74
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: the spring that you you're gonna go cutting her off

75
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: too follows, Yeah, did.

76
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 3: You just mentioned in the spring that you get a

77
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 3: little too emotional or you know, we wanted to kind

78
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 3: of ring that in or whatever when you are on

79
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 3: the field that do you feel like maybe that could

80
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 3: be a good thing though, that you can break some

81
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 3: of that emotion that well.

82
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: Well, to be honest, when when you look at our

83
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: guys and I've been doing this for a while, you know,

84
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: I don't think that's part of what they're missing and

85
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: what they need.

86
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 2: You know, sometimes it can be good.

87
00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: I think you know, we all feed off each other,

88
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 1: you know, coaches, we feed off one another.

89
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 2: I feed off the players.

90
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 1: Uh so you know it depends, but I think it's

91
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: more or less than the communication part that we can,

92
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: you know, have that dialogue direct face to face and

93
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: try to make the adjustment that we need to make

94
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: throughout the game.

95
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 3: Pane, as you're looking at the film, what do you

96
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 3: think he's maybe so successful this season?

97
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 1: H I think again, I think coach Peterson, Doug does

98
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,720
Speaker 1: a good job just with the scheme and and the

99
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,479
Speaker 1: things that they're doing. Uh, he has a lot of

100
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 1: weapons around him that that sort of compliments him a

101
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 1: little bit, you know, Like I said, a ramp and

102
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 1: rave about the tight end and the receiving core that

103
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 1: they have. So and he's a powerful runner and it

104
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: has the ability to be able to also take it

105
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: outside and has good speed.

106
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 2: So I think he again three down back given what's

107
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 2: happened the last three weeks. You know, I try to

108
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 2: stay out of the past.

109
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 1: When when I say that the obvious is the obvious,

110
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 1: you know, but you know, dwelling on the past three weeks,

111
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: it's not gonna really change what we try and to

112
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 1: get done.

113
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 2: And our focus been since we've been back.

114
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: It's like, you know, it's just you know, one at

115
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 1: a time, you know, let's just go, you know, refocus

116
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 1: ourselves to do what we got to do to get

117
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 1: this game. And I think we know in the in

118
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:18,479
Speaker 1: the previous games we were there, we played hard. We

119
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 1: got to go execute, you know, we gotta we got

120
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 1: to make plays when given the opportunity. I got to

121
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: do a better job again, just put them in better positions,

122
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 1: which I think is gonna, you know, help them go execute.

123
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 1: But you know, third down it's been hurting us. We

124
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 1: got to get off the field. You know, we've had

125
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: those guys in both games third and long and all

126
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,040
Speaker 1: of a sudden, you know, Borrow, great job of him

127
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 1: being athletic, he gets out of it third and long.

128
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 1: Going back to Minnesota, opportunity to get off the fielding

129
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 1: we did and just sort of spout right there with

130
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: the first drive. So those are things that we have

131
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,280
Speaker 1: to correct things.

132
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 3: If you could just clear up on the communications stuff.

133
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 2: One, when you are upstairs and we.

134
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 3: Would be calling plays, you have to go through like

135
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 3: Johnny Holland to.

136
00:05:58,200 --> 00:05:58,720
Speaker 2: Get the plays in.

137
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,479
Speaker 3: Was there any communication issues with that in terms of

138
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 3: timing or anything.

139
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,039
Speaker 1: No, no, none, whatsoever. Again, Uh, the coaches do a

140
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:09,359
Speaker 1: tremendous job and communicating with those guys. I just felt

141
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 1: the need, you know, to be able to wanna, you know,

142
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 1: communicate directly you know nothing what Uh the coaches have

143
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 1: been doing and like I said before, doing a great job. Uh,

144
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 1: I just wanna feel a little bit more presence on

145
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 1: the sideline.

146
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,559
Speaker 2: Another part of that is in terms of the different

147
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 2: position groups.

148
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,280
Speaker 3: Obviously you work a lot with the secondary and so

149
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 3: I'm I'm imagining that's those are the guys you wanna

150
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 3: speak more directly.

151
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 1: With the To be quite honest, I wanna talk to

152
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 1: all the guys because I have certain thoughts that are

153
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:39,840
Speaker 1: going through my mind as I'm sitting there going through

154
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 1: the game and trying to call things, and I'm looking

155
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 1: at my call sheet and I say, man, okay, I'm

156
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: thinking about this. Well, now I can go right over

157
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 1: to the D line and say, okay, I'm looking and

158
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 1: change this up next series. You know, uh, it could

159
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 1: be with the the back seven forwards, the past concepts

160
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: where where maybe getting hurt on a certain route and

161
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: you know, it could be empty and I want, okay,

162
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: I wanna change this. So again, it's just a little

163
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 1: bit more dialogue coming directly from me, so so more.

164
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 3: Not breaking news that you know, as the defense, it

165
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 3: has it quite looked like itself last three games. You've

166
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 3: been receiving criticism or skepticism. You've been doing this for

167
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 3: a while. I'm sure this is nothing it new to you,

168
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 3: But how you handling you know, this level of kind

169
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 3: of personal adversity.

170
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 1: I can I can honestly say, I'm sort of built

171
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 1: for this, you know, not not in an arrogant way,

172
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: but uh, I've always believe it is is certain.

173
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 2: You know.

174
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 1: It's it's two things. It's what you hear and what

175
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 1: you listen to. You know, So I hear a lot

176
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: of the outside noise. I don't listen to it good

177
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 1: or bad, you know. Uh, as you mentioned, I've been

178
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: doing this for a while, and I understand the emotions,

179
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 1: uh of this game and and what we play at

180
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 1: this level.

181
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 2: Uh. I try not to be emotional, you know. Uh,

182
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 2: We're five and three.

183
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 1: The standard is so high here alright, and we lost

184
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: three in a row that everybody feel like the settling

185
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 1: is collapsing on us.

186
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 2: Uh. We're in a good position. Uh.

187
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 1: We need to turn it around. So uh, we got

188
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 1: a lot of football ahead of us. You know. We

189
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 1: wanted to start progressing, get better in November and start

190
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 1: playing our best in December. So I've seen this, I've

191
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 1: been around this. I can take it. I'm the new

192
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 1: guy in you know. Uh, it is what it is. Uh.

193
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: I have confidence in myself, most importantly, I have confidence

194
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: in those players and the coaches that we're together, uh,

195
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 1: and we're gonna come through this.

196
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 3: And how it's his relationship with Nicholas that helped him

197
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 3: come along.

198
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:42,200
Speaker 1: Uh, great relationship those guys, of course, as you all know,

199
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 1: played together. I think he has truly come in and

200
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 1: fit into the culture that these guys have set.

201
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 2: Uh.

202
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 1: I think Bosh has made that transition seamless form Uh

203
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 1: and Uh, I think he's excited just because Uh he's

204
00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: in a different climate, different element, you know. And Uh

205
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 1: he came in and A and in Washington and was

206
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 1: thrust in a situation where he had to be a

207
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 1: leader as a rookie. And that's tough when you have

208
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 1: no one to really look to the right or the

209
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,679
Speaker 1: left of to try to pattern yourself out of. So

210
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: he has a lot of guys here in this locker

211
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 1: room that he can lean on.

212
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 3: How are players able to communicate to you? Do they

213
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:21,839
Speaker 3: have to go to a coach or are they able

214
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 3: to directly communicate with you when.

215
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: You're up there? Uh, well, there's a lot of times

216
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,319
Speaker 1: either I talk to him either on the phone or

217
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 1: I have the coaches put the headsets on. So Uh, again,

218
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 1: it's just U a great opportunity for me to be

219
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 1: able to look at certain things on the on the Uh,

220
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 1: surface the iPad, and then I can go directly to

221
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:39,839
Speaker 1: that guy and say, Okay, this is what I'm seeing,

222
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:41,959
Speaker 1: you know, and then we can have that dialogue and

223
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: communicate and talk, and you know, I like to also

224
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 1: know how they're seeing things, you know, and when the

225
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,080
Speaker 1: flow and the course of a game. So that's gonna

226
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,679
Speaker 1: allow me to be able to call certain things differently, uh,

227
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,199
Speaker 1: according to how they see it as well or right,

228
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 1: appreciate you, okay,
