1
00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:03,240
Speaker 1: I'll I think we start with the recap of the game,

2
00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 1: and definitely the ball was alive in New York, and

3
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:09,039
Speaker 1: I thought that was something I was proud of for

4
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:11,920
Speaker 1: the guys, just competing for it to go. But certainly

5
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 1: late last night before I went to sleep, the thoughts

6
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 1: that keep me up, we're still how do we play faster?

7
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:17,919
Speaker 1: You know? How do we play cleaner? How do we

8
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:20,439
Speaker 1: play more aggressive? And yes, that's probably a sad state

9
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:23,119
Speaker 1: of affairs for my sleep patterns that you guys are thinking,

10
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:24,599
Speaker 1: what the hell is he thinking about that? But I

11
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:26,799
Speaker 1: really feel like we can get a lot better and

12
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 1: creating takeaways for us is you know, the top of

13
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:32,520
Speaker 1: the pile for our job to get the ball back

14
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 1: for the offense, but it's not the only one, and

15
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 1: it's third downs and in short yard age and it's

16
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:38,559
Speaker 1: red zone to go through it. So we're not at

17
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 1: our best yet and so that's what I thought, We're

18
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 1: gonna bust our asses to get there. But I still

19
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 1: feel like we got lots to work on, lots to

20
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 1: get better at. And I think those are some specific

21
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:51,559
Speaker 1: things by player. Not every player will work on the

22
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 1: same exact thing. But I think if we're going to

23
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: get better one percent here here, here, collectively, we'll get better.

24
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 1: And that's really what I want to Just like I said,

25
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 1: bust our ass to get there, and everybody will have

26
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 1: something that's their own. Uh it doesn't have to be

27
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: you know, four or five things, but it does have

28
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 1: to be enough to you know, really make your emphasis

29
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 1: for the week. And um, not everybody be on the

30
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 1: same exact things. I could be passed for USh. I

31
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 1: could be um, you know, no more run fits. It

32
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: could be whatever it might be pertaining to that player.

33
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 1: But I really think, uh, you know, that's where my

34
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: mindset is, how do we play faster? How can we

35
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 1: play cleaner? And how can we play more aggressive? And

36
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 1: but I am pleased with the ball um and the

37
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:29,399
Speaker 1: effort the guys are going for it with. It's a

38
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 1: it's a fun group to coach. And I think you

39
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: guys have been around the team a lot. It's uh,

40
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,320
Speaker 1: you know, just guys that are battling for it and

41
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,320
Speaker 1: I like that. That's that's what the competition is all about.

42
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: How much at losing testing and also on Saturday impact

43
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: the game plan. Well, Fortunately, you know the other two

44
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: you know have played and that's the nice part about

45
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: the depth you know that we've created by playing so

46
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: many guys so um for Hamilton and Bohanna to play

47
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: into that space. Um. Going into it, we knew what

48
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: the next procedures were, and Mike's done a good job of,

49
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: you know, making sure everybody in practice gets reps because

50
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 1: I think we're truly living in a time you know,

51
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,919
Speaker 1: where you just don't know. And I think this past

52
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 1: week in our league has been probably the biggest example

53
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: of that. We've seen on other teams that have been

54
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 1: more significantly impacted than we were. All who you know,

55
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: losing two guys into the game is not ideal. Um,

56
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,359
Speaker 1: I think now more than ever you better. We've got

57
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: these big rosters and the groups that are called upon

58
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: to deliver those are moments. And that's that was an

59
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: example that this week since de Marcus has been back,

60
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: these last three games, every one of them begin to

61
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 1: head you know, four takeaways. How much does he obviously

62
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: did yesterday? But did he does he impact all of that?

63
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 1: I think his uh, well, one he impacted it a

64
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:45,239
Speaker 1: lot yesterday. The first one on the tip ball that

65
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: Jordan have and then the punch out was an impressive

66
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: play against Barkley because here is a guy that does

67
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:52,359
Speaker 1: not give up the ball. I think you can see

68
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 1: how strong his hands are on the one pass that

69
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 1: he threw. I mean he caught like the tip of

70
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 1: the ball, you know, like those are the things you

71
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: don't see very often. And so for him to knock

72
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 1: one out against a guy who's got very good ball security,

73
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 1: I thought, you know, it kind of shows to his

74
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 1: physicality to go. But he's got a good mindset and

75
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 1: he's even though he was out, he wasn't far away

76
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: from the guys and talking in the attitude, in the style.

77
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 1: So an identity, it doesn't happen overnight, you know, in

78
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 1: terms of how a team wants to play. But I

79
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 1: would say that the law helps that identity a lot

80
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: because of the violent nature that he plays with, the

81
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: speed that he plays with. So certainly been good to

82
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 1: have him back, that's for sure. Mica seemed to us

83
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 1: interception to attract a lot of attention from the offensive line.

84
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 1: He also on his rush pressured the quarterback on the

85
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: tray tray blond, Yeah, interception. Between that and then that

86
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: third down play on the thicket switch, Who would you

87
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: make a MICA's game on a day where statistically the

88
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: Boss Chords would show up, Yeah, I would say, um,

89
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: quite honestly, early on in the game, there weren't a

90
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 1: lot of throats. You guys probably saw that too. I

91
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: think I'm at the half, I'm not mistaken. It might

92
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 1: have been somewhere in the out in the two minute

93
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 1: right before the half, maybe twelve run, two pass something,

94
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 1: So they were definitely, you know, trying to establish that

95
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: part of the game to get going. But I thought

96
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: probably the best one of the day was on the

97
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 1: pick play in man to man and it was definitely

98
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 1: a legal play, was within a yard and so I thought,

99
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 1: just the awareness to go and finish the play out.

100
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,359
Speaker 1: I thought that was the play of the day of

101
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 1: ones that don't show up on the stat sheet, but

102
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: it shows up, you know in our room for the

103
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: guys that that know that it's one of the plaympressive

104
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,159
Speaker 1: part of that play for you, it was the awareness

105
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 1: or the awareness, yes, because the person that he was

106
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,720
Speaker 1: guarding was doing the one that had to pick, so

107
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: he had to be the one to go. And sometimes

108
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 1: you may eat with two dbs. Hey let's play this

109
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: in and out. There's some techniques that you can do.

110
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:43,919
Speaker 1: When you do that, you don't often do it with

111
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 1: a dB and a linebacker, but we did it on

112
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: that play, and I think that kind of shows to

113
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 1: his awareness. Was it was the best play that didn't

114
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: get a lot of stats with it. I guess the

115
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,840
Speaker 1: awareness to take the guy but also to turn his

116
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 1: head to wait and played the ball as well. Yes, what,

117
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: it's impressive, And I think one of the things I

118
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,839
Speaker 1: admire about him is when some mistakes happened, he generally

119
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: doesn't repeat that mistake. There could have been a game

120
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 1: earlier in the year. It might have been on four

121
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 1: NET on a running back earlier where he didn't go

122
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 1: to finish it all the way out, and he's one

123
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,599
Speaker 1: of those players that remembers that moment and you know,

124
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: has a way to you know, connect back to something.

125
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 1: And I was that play to me was the one

126
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,719
Speaker 1: that stood out the most. Though, now that that Lawrence

127
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 1: was back and Gregor's back and Parsons are back, how

128
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 1: much I guess, what does your system allow them to

129
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 1: build a report within themselves and still be within the

130
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 1: system when it comes to rushing and knowing TENDA disease? Sure,

131
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: and how much time gets the latitude or freedom do

132
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 1: that within the system to kind of play off each other.

133
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: That's a good question, I would say. One. Maybe I

134
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:47,720
Speaker 1: may have said this before earlier, one of the things

135
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 1: that you don't want to happen turns out to be

136
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: the best thing to happen. So by Mike at going

137
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,159
Speaker 1: to defensive end for some weeks at a time, it

138
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,839
Speaker 1: allowed that rapport to happen with the defensive line and

139
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 1: pass rush games and things to go because it's not

140
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: just as easy as they just go down and play

141
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: d ND. There's pressures and pass r us done. So

142
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:09,919
Speaker 1: living in that room with them for weeks at a

143
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 1: time has helped, you know, when he has to go

144
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,840
Speaker 1: back and forth the defensive end and linebacker, and I

145
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: would suspect there's some calls that can be made. Sometimes

146
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,239
Speaker 1: a defensive line may see a stance that means pass

147
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: and well he knows what those calls are now at

148
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,280
Speaker 1: linebacker as well. So I think there is some real

149
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,239
Speaker 1: carry over when it goes from one to the other.

150
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 1: As far as the jobs go for all of them,

151
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 1: we try to not have them do things that they

152
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 1: haven't done before, or hey, this is just like something else.

153
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: And so the more often that we do that, I

154
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,840
Speaker 1: think that's you may have a little different design of

155
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,600
Speaker 1: a pressure or something, but at the end of it,

156
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,600
Speaker 1: it's a job they've done before. They may be from

157
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 1: a different alignment, but it's something that they've done before.

158
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 1: I think that's one of the keys to make it

159
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 1: look complex. But really, at the end of it it

160
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 1: you can stay fairly simple. That's Petally's only played four

161
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 1: games this season. It's probably these taken worse snaps for

162
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,720
Speaker 1: the interior that he did all last year. What does

163
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:06,839
Speaker 1: he bring or give you in that specific technique. Sometimes

164
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 1: it's matchups that you want to get, you know, as

165
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: much speed as you can or find a way to

166
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 1: go so as far as last year, because I can't

167
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 1: comment on that, but I can say, you know, finding

168
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 1: different spaces to play him, and you'd be surprised just

169
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 1: putting different guys over a guard or over a tackle.

170
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 1: It makes them set different and play a little bit different,

171
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 1: and so it won't be an all the time thing.

172
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 1: But you know, his best thing is when he's ripping outside.

173
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 1: But we like the versatility of him going back and

174
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 1: forth and certain games who may have a few more

175
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: inside and certain games he may hardly have any just

176
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 1: depending on where the matchups are. You approach that such

177
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 1: a better player who can say, hey, outside, guy, I'm

178
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 1: putting inside a little bit. How does that happen? I

179
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 1: think you start right from the beginning and just kind

180
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 1: of you know, talk about the versatility. We've done it

181
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 1: with Randy as well, so it's not like, hey, we're

182
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 1: only going to do this with you. We've done it

183
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: with he, We've done it with DA, We've done it

184
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 1: with Randy, We've done it with Mica. So having different

185
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 1: guys you can put into those roles I think is important.

186
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 1: And it doesn't have to be every game where they're

187
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 1: doing it. But I do like to work on some

188
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 1: things during the week and this may not be up

189
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: for this game, but let's practice it a few weeks

190
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 1: and when it's game ready then we can use it.

191
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 1: And so sometimes we may have a package that's up

192
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: but maybe not up for the game, but we know

193
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 1: we're working on it and eventually, you know, we'll get

194
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 1: it game ready to go. But quite often I don't

195
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: do a lot that it's just you know, let's try

196
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 1: it one time on a Thursday, and you know, so

197
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 1: shit here we go hope for the best. So I

198
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: try to make sure we have gone through as many

199
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 1: of the scenarios and situations as we can. Whats his

200
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 1: length in his hand usage, even though you may haven't

201
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 1: seen it a lot, and take him do it if

202
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:42,680
Speaker 1: you just say, it's probably gonna work, yes, because the

203
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 1: same skills that you still apply outside, you just move

204
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 1: them inside to play. Hey, you're doing the same exact techniques,

205
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,440
Speaker 1: the same rush is just the guy's going to set differently.

206
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 1: And quite honestly, that's why guards, you know, the wider

207
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 1: you can align. There's times when they may set differently,

208
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 1: and sometimes it's they don't adjust and Okay, hey maybe

209
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 1: that's not the week to try to put somebody over

210
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 1: this guy, but sometimes it is. So that's why it's

211
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 1: not an every week things. A defense where you can

212
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: bring waves of players that you've done not just d

213
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 1: line but obviously shuffle a lot of linebacker and in

214
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 1: your DVS kind Yeah, this is the most I would

215
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: say from the entire thing. I've always felt like from

216
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 1: a defensive line standpoint, to be at your best having

217
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: you know a multiple players who can know that was

218
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 1: a struggle. A large group of players that you can rotate,

219
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 1: especially at the end of the half and at the

220
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 1: end of the game. That's really when we need to

221
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 1: be at our best. And so there's been times in

222
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 1: my career like a guy like Jason Taylor was able

223
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:46,119
Speaker 1: to play every play well, he's a rare person obviously,

224
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 1: but by and large, the more that you can get

225
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 1: coming at an aggressive way. And that's why I like

226
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 1: having Gallimore back. He's made some impactful plays and he

227
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 1: hasn't had you know, more than thirty snaps, but the

228
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,839
Speaker 1: ones he's had, you feel his energy, you feel his

229
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 1: to go. And so having this combination of guys um

230
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,559
Speaker 1: is good. And I think the more we get time together,

231
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 1: um we just That's why I said, we got a

232
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 1: lot to work on, and we can play cleaner and

233
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 1: faster and things that can just be sharper and so

234
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 1: there's no missteps and just be tighter and faster, and

235
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 1: that's what I'm hopeful we'll get to, you know, as

236
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: we get through this week and keep moving on line,

237
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 1: it does, yep. And certainly at linebacker we have a

238
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,439
Speaker 1: rotation there and at safety we do as well. So

239
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: those are the positions that we maneuver around the most

240
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 1: and so yeah, it's the biggest group that I've rotated,

241
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 1: not counting the d line. The Giant's longest play came

242
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 1: on that fourtunite one happened on that player. What do

243
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 1: you wish happened on that play? Well, I wish we

244
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 1: stopped them, I'll say that, but I would say, um,

245
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 1: it was a good play. You know, we were playing

246
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 1: for the quarterback sneak with inches, so we really overloaded

247
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,319
Speaker 1: the inside and so for them to you know, kick

248
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 1: the ball outside it, they made a good block onto JK,

249
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 1: pulled the guard out around onto digs and so that's

250
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 1: where the explosive play hit. So um, sometimes you can

251
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:02,559
Speaker 1: be you know, too bold inside and they got a

252
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:04,959
Speaker 1: good check to go outside. So I really, quite honestly,

253
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 1: I tip my hat to them, uh to two kitchens

254
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,680
Speaker 1: and their staff for coming up with a good design

255
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: later on, And it was in the same series, but

256
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 1: another one they had to sneak called again and we

257
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 1: checked into a different look on it and so that

258
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 1: worked out better. You know, it was a fourth down stop,

259
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:23,959
Speaker 1: but both of them, I believe we're fourth down stops

260
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 1: and both of them were inches. So sometimes a little

261
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 1: bit of cat and mouse game between the coaches when

262
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,079
Speaker 1: you will when you won't. But I do got to

263
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 1: give him credit. It was a good play down the

264
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 1: line not cut them anymore, um, which is uh, you know,

265
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 1: it's a good rule. I mean, if we're talking about

266
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:40,439
Speaker 1: players safety, So what do you do on that one?

267
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 1: You try to foot fake, you know, somebody to you know,

268
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 1: show a leverage one way and come back. But at

269
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: the end of the day, you have to keep your

270
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 1: leverage and so we did that on that play. We

271
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 1: can also get the inside linebacker out to get there

272
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,439
Speaker 1: quicker and so, but on that particular play in the

273
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 1: old days, you might, hey, you go, you know, try

274
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 1: to you know, set the edge on him by going

275
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 1: low and try to smash it up that way. But

276
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 1: different different time, different space. So you still have to

277
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 1: keep your leverage, but you don't have to you know,

278
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 1: run to it. So he can foot fake to go

279
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 1: and that's something we can work through. But that's a

280
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 1: tough one. You mentioned thinking about before you possibly where

281
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 1: this defense can go. You've even going to see I

282
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,680
Speaker 1: will kind of oversaw some of these defensive creations. I guess,

283
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,439
Speaker 1: for a lack of a better word, where are you

284
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 1: on finding your identity and how have you seen that processing.

285
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 1: That's a good question. Well, I would say one identity

286
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 1: doesn't happen overnight, and for us to say we're into

287
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 1: that space, we're not even at our best yet, so

288
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 1: it's hard for us to compare where we would be

289
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,199
Speaker 1: and all that, I just I honestly want to say,

290
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 1: how much better can we get this week? And that

291
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 1: to me is where the goal is, because we can't

292
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,200
Speaker 1: compare anything until we reach our best and I don't

293
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,439
Speaker 1: think we were anywhere near where that is. And we

294
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 1: got things to improve on and spaces to go, and

295
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 1: that's what we intend on doing. But at the end,

296
00:12:56,040 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 1: the identity isn't created overnight, but it is moving in

297
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 1: that way. And I love the attitude, the energy, the connection,

298
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 1: and when that happens, you know good things that follow.

299
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 1: That group was a rare one from even walkthroughs, you know,

300
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 1: to like there was not a pass completed, and so

301
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 1: the standards, the intensity that they played with, but that'd

302
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 1: be hard to compare because we're not even at our

303
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 1: best yet, and so I want to make sure those

304
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 1: are good discussions for postseasons and off seasons. But in

305
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,080
Speaker 1: the middle of it, man, let's just stay right where

306
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 1: we're at and trying to improve and be the best

307
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,079
Speaker 1: version of us right now. And I think we got

308
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 1: a long way to go. And because I think we're

309
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 1: getting these people back and now we're into a groove

310
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 1: and working off one another. So I'm pleased with where

311
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 1: we are with the ball. I'd be hard pressed to think,

312
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 1: you know, we could do a better job on the

313
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 1: ball over the last few games. So that part, I'm

314
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 1: very impressed with the guys relative to where the defense

315
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 1: is today, What does its best look like? I would

316
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 1: say overall, I like where we're at on the ball,

317
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:00,680
Speaker 1: and I want to continue our tab. I thought in

318
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 1: this game to have three mistackles, that was a big

319
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 1: step in the right direction for us. It goes to disguise,

320
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 1: it goes to finishing on plays, and so just the

321
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 1: relentless nature. I hope when you guys see as a man,

322
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:13,839
Speaker 1: you guys are hauling ass and flying and the hitting.

323
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 1: So those are the things I think you know when

324
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 1: your improvement, it might not seem like this, you know,

325
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 1: fifty percent better, but collectively, our communication, our speed to

326
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 1: go even faster and cleaner. That's what improvement looks. Like

327
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: to me, we had some busts. We had a couple

328
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 1: of misques here and there, and so that's what I

329
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 1: mean by cleaner. And if we can do those faster,

330
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 1: and we could do those cleaner, I think it allows

331
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 1: us to run and hit better, and that's more time

332
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: on task and keep hitting on the same things. That's

333
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: why I was referring to, like, some of these packages

334
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 1: may look like wholesale changes, but they're really subtle changes,

335
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 1: and we got to make sure we nail them every

336
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 1: single time. You like, and encourage the defense versus offense,

337
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 1: BET on turnovers versus a tech you know what, it's

338
00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 1: a good competing, you know, offense defense bet. The best

339
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 1: part of our team is the team. And that's the

340
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 1: coolest part about being here and being a part of

341
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 1: this group when you see the players interact in offense

342
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 1: and defense and teams and so not every team has that,

343
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 1: and so when you do, when you do, you know

344
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 1: you've got something that you want to work on. And

345
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 1: I think it comes really from you know, the leaders

346
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 1: on this team that want to fight in battle for

347
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 1: one other and truly showing that they got one another's back.

348
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 1: And that's a powerful feeling. When you're a player or

349
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 1: you're a coach and you look behind, you know, there's

350
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 1: sixty or seventy people that say, man, I got this

351
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 1: person's back. And that's the cool part about our team,

352
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 1: Marcus when you're old, but he is the longest ten

353
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 1: year defensive player. He's been around some successful teams here.

354
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 1: When guys get to his stature and experience the league,

355
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 1: do you get the sense from him that these games

356
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 1: matter a little bit more, that these circumstances, these opportunities

357
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 1: that lay out in front of him mean a little

358
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 1: more to a thirty year old DeMarcus as opposed to

359
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 1: twenty two year old I think that comes with experience,

360
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 1: for sure, for any player. And uh, you know, when

361
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 1: you're you know, a rookie, you're thinking that's a pretty

362
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 1: good deal. You know, like it's always how it is.

363
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 1: And I can repair one of my favorite players of

364
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 1: all time was Brian Is Bryant young and so he

365
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 1: won the championship as a rookie in San Francisco nine

366
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 1: ers time in nineteen ninety four. I guess that would

367
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 1: have been and then played I think thirteen more years

368
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 1: without and so I think the older you get, you

369
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 1: have appreciation for when you're on a really good crew

370
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 1: because you have that experience to fall back on. And

371
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 1: so I think perhaps that's what DeMarcus could be referring to.

372
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 1: But he's always has a good edge about him about competing,

373
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 1: about toughness, about what it's going to take, and I

374
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 1: like that about him. You want to add one more, Yeah,

375
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 1: that's very you're mectioning seeing how far off though several

376
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 1: of your players have said Reno Championship defense totally win

377
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 1: a championship, but we have the potential. One Treeman was

378
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 1: asked yesterday is where this defex ranks in the league.

379
00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 1: He said he thinks it's the best. So that's something

380
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:04,640
Speaker 1: you encouraged put us the time between confidence. But wait, pod, well,

381
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:07,439
Speaker 1: I would say, one, that's what you expect right that,

382
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 1: you know, as somebody's going into it to say, hey,

383
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 1: we like where we're headed and we like what we're

384
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 1: making progress on. But um to really I would agree

385
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 1: with them to say to make your mark, um, it

386
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:21,199
Speaker 1: has to be you talk about these things postseason, not

387
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 1: in season. And so there's no championships given out for uh,

388
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,160
Speaker 1: you know, playing well on December wherever we're at. So

389
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 1: I think that's why I keep pushing on better, better, better,

390
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:35,399
Speaker 1: and sometimes better as mart. You know, small games, but

391
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 1: if you make some, I make some, and we keep

392
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 1: pushing together. Before you know it, you're making some pretty

393
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 1: good strides. And uh, it's a competitive group. I like

394
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 1: where we're at, like the mindset. They want to fight

395
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:47,439
Speaker 1: for one another, and that's a big piece of it.

396
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:50,880
Speaker 1: So but I'd say we still um. Until you're at

397
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 1: the end, you don't really get to say that's how

398
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: I've always viewed it, and you got to take on

399
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 1: some really good teams and really good players. So for us,

400
00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 1: I think just staying in the moment of this week

401
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 1: and this part about getting better, because if you look

402
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 1: too far down the road, you'll get your ass knocked off.

403
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 1: And I want to make sure we stay right where

404
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 1: we're at and focus our time on getting better. Even

405
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:12,879
Speaker 1: when you're improving, then I say, pedal downhill, go harder,

406
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,119
Speaker 1: and we should expect more from one another because we

407
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 1: are getting better. All right, you guys, have a good day.
