1 00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:04,360 Speaker 1: See a good football team. Just really well rounded as 2 00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:04,840 Speaker 1: an offense. 3 00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:07,840 Speaker 2: You know, run them all well, physical in the front, 4 00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:11,840 Speaker 2: they finished blocks, you know, and they've done a great 5 00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:15,680 Speaker 2: job in pass protection too. So the quarterback is playing 6 00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:17,919 Speaker 2: at an elite level in my opinion, you know, hard 7 00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:21,360 Speaker 2: to bring down, but making good decisions too, you know, 8 00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:24,480 Speaker 2: and made some incredible throws, especially the other day. 9 00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:27,960 Speaker 1: So the receiving corps super talented. 10 00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:32,000 Speaker 2: So really don't you don't see a whole lot of 11 00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:32,680 Speaker 2: flaws there. 12 00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:36,040 Speaker 3: It's a challenge with covering a guy like Court inside 13 00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:36,199 Speaker 3: of them. 14 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:40,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, just such a big, physical guy, you know, and 15 00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:43,519 Speaker 2: really wins I would say the lion's share of the 16 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 2: fifty to fifty balls and just a big competitive guy 17 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,800 Speaker 2: at the catch point. So that's a challenge. You know, 18 00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,279 Speaker 2: when he's isolated, he does a great job and they 19 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 2: do a great job of getting them the ball. So 20 00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:56,440 Speaker 2: there's a lot of challenge there. 21 00:00:57,840 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 1: He's playing some of the best ball in his career. 22 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,120 Speaker 4: He what was the turning point for him? 23 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:02,959 Speaker 1: Can you put your. 24 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:03,480 Speaker 5: Finger on it? 25 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:10,200 Speaker 2: You know, I think Antonio a lot of that is 26 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 2: just repetition, you know, it really is. I mean, he's 27 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,560 Speaker 2: gotten so many reps now at doing what we're doing, 28 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 2: and I think he's very, very comfortable. But he's also, 29 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 2: like I said last week, he's playing a lot of 30 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 2: roles for us, So he's playing nickel, playing safety, you 31 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:28,119 Speaker 2: play some time, move around a lot, and I think 32 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:29,959 Speaker 2: he's doing a lot of the things that he does well. 33 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 2: So he's got I think, a ton of confidence right now. 34 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,280 Speaker 2: And I think that's a big difference for him as well. 35 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,040 Speaker 2: But he's see put in the work, so yeah, he's 36 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 2: he's in here working, doing extra every day, so he 37 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 2: deserves it. 38 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:43,479 Speaker 1: I'm happy for him. 39 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 6: Cav Pig.

They're tough guys. 48 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 2: They value honestly, they value what I value and what 49 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 2: we value on the defensive side of the ball here 50 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 2: and just as an organization, they. 51 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 1: Value toughness and accountability. 52 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 2: You know, they're they're guys that you often before you 53 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:28,959 Speaker 2: ever correct a mistake, they're they're aware of it.

So that's what I love about the guy. 104 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,040 Speaker 2: You know, he just keeps competing. Something bad happens, he 105 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,599 Speaker 2: keeps playing, and you really need to have that type 106 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,600 Speaker 2: of mentality. It's a defensive back, you know, you got 107 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 2: to have amnesia. And if ever that's the case, if 108 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:41,600 Speaker 2: he doesn't make a play, he comes right back and 109 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 2: plays as hard as he possibly can.

But that's you kind of whether that 114 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 4: and you get to this point, Does that give you 115 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:57,480 Speaker 4: some extra cards in your hand that you feel confident 116 00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 4: playing because these. 117 00:04:58,080 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 1: Guys all of that stabs. Yeah. 118 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,480 Speaker 2: One, you find out a lot too, you know what 119 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,839 Speaker 2: I mean. You find out who does work well, and 120 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:10,360 Speaker 2: then you also find out you know who's ready one right, 121 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 2: and it develops to your point, I think it develops 122 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:19,040 Speaker 2: your your depth, because there's no there's nothing like experience. 123 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:22,480 Speaker 2: There's nothing like repetition, you know, you said coach for 124 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 2: coach Harboy at Michigan, he used to say, you know, 125 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 2: there's only one way to get. 126 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 1: Better at football.

What's the line where you 178 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 6: want to keep that guessing, but you also wants your 179 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 6: guys to play fast. 180 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, you want to try and always be in the 181 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 2: realm of simple us complex Then you know, as if 182 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,119 Speaker 2: you know what you're doing and you know what you're 183 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 2: creating the response you're trying to create offensively, I think 184 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 2: that helps the player so much more so, I think 185 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 2: it's so much about learning offensive learning what the response 186 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 2: is to that disguise, and then the players can kind 187 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 2: of take that and run with it, you know, and 188 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 2: they take ownership and leadership of that. So hopefully I'm 189 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 2: answering your question the right way. But that I think 190 00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 2: is a huge part about it, a huge part of it, 191 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 2: because as guys learn more and more about what the 192 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 2: offense is doing, what the response is, they're actually a 193 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 2: little bit more creative and you don't want I think 194 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 2: Liam's done a great job he says this so much 195 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 2: about you know, we don't want robots, We want want 196 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 2: you to be creative, want we don't want to take 197 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 2: away your creativity as a player, and that's exactly right 198 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 2: for football. 199 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 1: You can get it down. 200 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 2: You can have paralysis by analysis, you know, but once 201 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 2: they understand what to do, we want to let them 202 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 2: go and play fast. 203 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 1: And the guys have done a pretty good job at 204 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 1: that so far. About getting back on. 205 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 3: The practice field, what do you kind of want to 206 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 3: see from the couple weeks? 207 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, I was just talking to him downstairs in the 208 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 2: hallway about the same thing. I just want to see 209 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 2: him play hard as hell. You don't want to see 210 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 2: him go out and play like like he did in 211 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,200 Speaker 2: the summer. Uh, you know, do what got you here, 212 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 2: Play hard as hell and represent the people who raise 213 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:45,960 Speaker 2: you to people you love the right way, and go 214 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 2: out there and kick ass and practice and you know 215 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 2: that we always we always watch that, and that always 216 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 2: jumps out. 217 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 1: I know. 218 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 2: I talked about Matt Dickerson a couple of weeks ago. 219 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 2: A lot of Matt's opportunity came from one you know, 220 00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 2: we knew of him and watching him before he out here, 221 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 2: but when he got here and and uh, he got 222 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 2: out there in the practice field, to me, it was undeniable. 223 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 2: You know, this guy's doing a really good job and 224 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 2: he deserves an opportunity. So I think Liam does a 225 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 2: great job with that. It's it's real. It's not like, hey, 226 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 2: you're going out there and just if you're out there, 227 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 2: you're competing and you're doing a great job and you're 228 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:19,959 Speaker 2: playing the way we want you to with your hair 229 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,679 Speaker 2: on fire. Yeah, you're going to get an opportunity because 230 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 2: that's always going to be able to help us win. 231 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 1: So that's what that's what I want to see for 232 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 1: him too. 233 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 4: MINDI is one of the kind of a ruckus Environment's 234 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 4: gonna be real loud. There is that the kind of 235 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 4: environment that defenses look forward to going into. 236 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,840 Speaker 2: I mean, it's it's a lot of these are obviously 237 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 2: crazy environments. 238 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 1: I played there before, and it is you know, it's an 239 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 1: intense place. 240 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:42,680 Speaker 2: I just think the opportunity to go up against a 241 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:46,319 Speaker 2: great team and uh, you know, play a high level 242 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 2: of football. 243 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 1: Everybody's fired up about that. 244 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:52,760 Speaker 2: And like we said earlier in this uh media session, 245 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 2: they got they got a great offense, you know, and 246 00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 2: they're going to challenge us, and uh, we're excited to 247 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 2: go out and compete against those guys and we got 248 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 2: do a great job. Stop and run. We got to 249 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 2: do a great job in coverage. So I don't know, man, 250 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 2: I think everybody's just fired up about it. I'm fired 251 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:09,680 Speaker 2: up to get out there and play against a great 252 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 2: football team too. 253 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:12,959 Speaker 5: Resulted in the six touchdowns, but there's so many great 254 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 5: plays in beyond those touchdowns that just proud of the 255 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 5: work he's put in and great to see that success 256 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 5: come in return. 257 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,680 Speaker 6: A talking point a lot of press conferences of last 258 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:23,679 Speaker 6: couple of front of we have that the pure progression 259 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:27,560 Speaker 6: passing game versus coverage based reads and where do you 260 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,720 Speaker 6: guys stand on that and you can be in the 261 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 6: progression Are you a progression team? And what Trevor and 262 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:34,040 Speaker 6: that place in the game. 263 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's been certainly an evolution for us and probably 264 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 5: a lot of teams across the league over the years, 265 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,840 Speaker 5: and I think a lot of it is probably in 266 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 5: responsible defenses are doing. They present a lot of challenges, 267 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:49,679 Speaker 5: so we're constantly searching for solutions to those challenges. So 268 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 5: we will use a mix of both coverage reads progression 269 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,600 Speaker 5: reads depending on the play, Depending on the situation, you're 270 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 5: trying to find what's best fit for the quarterback to 271 00:10:57,960 --> 00:10:59,840 Speaker 5: let them go out there and play fast. There are 272 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 5: certainly advantages to those coverage reads that have probably been 273 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:06,080 Speaker 5: discussed at length, with giving guys simplified looks, or they 274 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 5: only have to go to one eye guy and then 275 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 5: the second guy, then a third guy. But then there 276 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,080 Speaker 5: are tradeoffs to that where now there's a lot for 277 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 5: them to see, and can they get through those. 278 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:15,080 Speaker 3: Progressions in the proper timing? 279 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,319 Speaker 5: Can the receivers get to the spacing that they're getting 280 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,960 Speaker 5: to in the proper timing Where coverage read presents you 281 00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:23,440 Speaker 5: advantages where now I can only or I only have 282 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,680 Speaker 5: to look at one, two, or maybe three guys on 283 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 5: a certain side of the field, or I only have 284 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 5: to read off of one defender that could present an 285 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:32,959 Speaker 5: issue in this coverage in this look, but now it's 286 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:34,079 Speaker 5: putting an extra pressure. 287 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:34,400 Speaker 3: On me to be right. 288 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 5: So as defenses can continue to kind of present little 289 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 5: problems here and there with disguises, fronts, different coverages, we 290 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 5: continue to look for solutions, but there's not really ever 291 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 5: a perfect solution. 292 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:45,560 Speaker 3: There's only trade offs. 293 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:48,480 Speaker 5: So every time you find a new solution or a 294 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 5: new answer, you're trading off something else, so it ends 295 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 5: up being a mix of both. You're trying to balance 296 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 5: all those different things, and each play will be unique. 297 00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 5: You bucket the reads in different aspects for the quarterbacks, 298 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,199 Speaker 5: so different ways to look at certain plays. But it's 299 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,560 Speaker 5: certainly been interesting to see how offenses like ours and 300 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 5: probably everyone else's across the league have tried to evolve 301 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,680 Speaker 5: it to create answers for the problems that those defenses present. 302 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:12,160 Speaker 4: When you look at that those defense, what do you see? 303 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:17,439 Speaker 5: What you see really really really tough physical play fundamentally 304 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,200 Speaker 5: sound good at all three levels of defense, first level, 305 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:23,560 Speaker 5: second level, third level, the sacks, the run game. That 306 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:25,960 Speaker 5: success kind of speaks for itself in the stats. But 307 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 5: you see guys in the back end certain and really 308 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:29,800 Speaker 5: all the defensive backs able to go out there and 309 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:31,720 Speaker 5: make plays on the ball, make plays in the run game. 310 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 3: So it's just a really well rounded unit. 311 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,079 Speaker 5: You know, you can search all day for week spots, 312 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 5: but you're gonna you're gonna be searching for a long time. 313 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 3: It's just you don't put up that type of production. 314 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,200 Speaker 5: You don't have that disruption on the ball, you don't 315 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:43,760 Speaker 5: stop the run, you don't affect the pass of the 316 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:45,440 Speaker 5: way they do it without being good really in all 317 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 5: areas of the game. You add on top of that 318 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,439 Speaker 5: the scheme. They're creative, they're multiple, they do a bunch 319 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,240 Speaker 5: of different things to challenge you. So it's a great 320 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 5: challenge for our guys and we're looking forward to it. 321 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:56,160 Speaker 1: You're chain on the type of guy. You gotta know where 322 00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 1: he's at on the play. 323 00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 5: Absolutely, Unfortunately, they got a lot of guys that are 324 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 5: like that, really, but he definitely is, not just because 325 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,200 Speaker 5: of his ball skills, but the way he can disrupt 326 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 5: passing concepts and you know, cover different guys in different ways. 327 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 5: There's not a lot of routes where like I said, 328 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:12,880 Speaker 5: with the defense as a whole, there's not a lot 329 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 5: of things that he is a weakness in his game. 330 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 5: So he can play inside, he can play outside. He's 331 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 5: great in the deep part of the field, great upfront, 332 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 5: great up and press. So you've got to be aware 333 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,080 Speaker 5: where he is, not just because the ball skills, but 334 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,560 Speaker 5: how he can disrupt a read or a timing or 335 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:25,360 Speaker 5: intent of a play. 336 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,800 Speaker 3: Obviously the big impact this year pass bro. Are you 337 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,319 Speaker 3: excited to see you know what an expanded on Kenny 338 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,200 Speaker 3: firm as a ball gear he's next few weeks sign. 339 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,800 Speaker 5: Absolutely, Yeah, We've gotten glimpses of it here and there. 340 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 5: You see him on third down. He's had some carries 341 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:40,640 Speaker 5: when he's gone into spell TJ at times he's had 342 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:43,760 Speaker 5: some carries. But I think when you see the physicality 343 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:45,760 Speaker 5: that he plays with him pass protection or even as 344 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:48,120 Speaker 5: a receiver out of the backfield, translating that into the 345 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,839 Speaker 5: run game will be exciting to see. Really his play style, 346 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 5: his effort, his demeanor is kind of attacking, and every 347 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 5: single thing he does, so I'm excited to see what 348 00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 5: he does with that opportunity. 349 00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 4: Travis in three touchdown catches last week. He normally runs 350 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 4: the ball in, but to throw in three passes that 351 00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:06,800 Speaker 4: you have confidence and that when did you know that 352 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:08,080 Speaker 4: he was could be that kind. 353 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:08,560 Speaker 1: Of player too? 354 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:13,720 Speaker 5: Well, I think we knew he had that ability certainly 355 00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:15,760 Speaker 5: for a while. It's frustrating when you don't have the 356 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 5: opportunity to get and show that ability out there on 357 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 5: a Sunday. It's one of those things we talked about 358 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:21,960 Speaker 5: two in a couple of weeks ago, and some. 359 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 3: Of the other backs. 360 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:24,760 Speaker 5: They have a lot of skills and different skill sets 361 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,120 Speaker 5: that we don't get to show on Sunday just because 362 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:28,920 Speaker 5: of the way the defense is defending you, or the 363 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 5: flow of the game, there's a lot of play calls 364 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:32,320 Speaker 5: and different things that you don't get to get to. 365 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 5: You're preparing for all these different things, and there's so 366 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 5: many great options to attack defenses, but they may. 367 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:38,880 Speaker 3: Play a certain way. You don't get to that stuff. 368 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:40,560 Speaker 5: So it was awesome to have all that work that 369 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 5: TJ's done in the past game, and really all the 370 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:44,480 Speaker 5: backs have done in the past game finally pay off. 371 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 5: It just happened to be all of it in the 372 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 5: same game, where usually we would like to get that 373 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 5: kind of spread out a little bit more, but they 374 00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 5: took advantage of their opportunity, so it was no surprise 375 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:53,000 Speaker 5: to me. It was kind of one of those things 376 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 5: you look at at the end of the game you're like, oh, man, 377 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 5: that really we did all those in the same game, 378 00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:58,520 Speaker 5: and you still felt like he had more opportunities out there. 379 00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:00,440 Speaker 5: So it was great to see all the they put 380 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 5: in with the quarterbacks, all the work they do on 381 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:02,560 Speaker 5: their own payoff. 382 00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:05,360 Speaker 1: What's been the challenge with the screen game. 383 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:08,760 Speaker 3: Just kind of playing off that, Well, it's a couple 384 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:09,320 Speaker 3: different things. 385 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:12,120 Speaker 5: Each screen is unique, and each instance we're trying to 386 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,040 Speaker 5: run a screen could be totally different where some of 387 00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:17,080 Speaker 5: them were screening, and we're facing different fronts, we're facing 388 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 5: different pressures. Some of them receiver screens, some of them 389 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,600 Speaker 5: play action screen, some of them drop back screens. So 390 00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:23,600 Speaker 5: there is a lot of facets to the screen game 391 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 5: where we've tried to improve. I think as we've had 392 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,880 Speaker 5: some turnover in the personnel who's out there playing with 393 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:33,760 Speaker 5: each other, we need to continue to find ways to 394 00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:36,080 Speaker 5: improve on playing together because there is so much feel 395 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 5: in the screen game. 396 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 3: So guys have to play off on each other. 397 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 5: So when one guy gets out and fits a block 398 00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:42,360 Speaker 5: a certain way, the next guy has to know that 399 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:44,520 Speaker 5: that first guy fit that block that way, and I 400 00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 5: have to adjust my block accordingly and on the back, 401 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:49,400 Speaker 5: and an offensive lineman out in front of me is 402 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,280 Speaker 5: now kicking out on a block because of the way 403 00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:53,560 Speaker 5: the defense played or because of the front, and now 404 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 5: a guard got out first. Now I got adjust the 405 00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,000 Speaker 5: way I'm running that differently. Same thing would be if 406 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,200 Speaker 5: I'm a pressure there's a blitzer off of a side 407 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,560 Speaker 5: getting used to Okay, Now the timing of the screen 408 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 5: might be a little bit different than it would be 409 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:06,360 Speaker 5: if there's no pressure. And it's just a four man rush. 410 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:08,880 Speaker 5: So there's a lot of little nuance that takes time 411 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:10,840 Speaker 5: and takes time on task and really takes time on 412 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:13,560 Speaker 5: task working together that we just need to continue to 413 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 5: work on and try to improve to get the screen 414 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:16,320 Speaker 5: game to where we want it to get to. 415 00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:20,000 Speaker 4: During a week for going into a househol environment. 416 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,200 Speaker 3: Well, there's a lot of different things. 417 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:27,240 Speaker 5: You hope that your work throughout the entire offseason, throughout 418 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 5: the entire season will provide some semblance of confidence and 419 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:35,440 Speaker 5: ability to execute under adverse conditions where there's going to 420 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 5: be crowd noise. It's like when there's games and weather 421 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,840 Speaker 5: you're banking on all those reps of wet ball drill 422 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:42,640 Speaker 5: and doing different things in the rain. Well, it's kind 423 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:44,200 Speaker 5: of the same thing here where you're out there and 424 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:46,560 Speaker 5: we've been walking through and you practice with crowd noise 425 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,200 Speaker 5: and loud music and you have other away games. Now, 426 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,440 Speaker 5: it's tough to simulate that type of environment. They have 427 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 5: an awesome, awesome home field and crowd there. So we'll 428 00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 5: do everything we can to try to simulate putting the 429 00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,880 Speaker 5: guys under pressure, putting them in pressure situations, creating that 430 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,240 Speaker 5: crowd noise. You know, putting them up against the clock. 431 00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:04,560 Speaker 5: We try to simulate all those things the best you can, 432 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:06,640 Speaker 5: but you can only really come so close. So there's 433 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:10,080 Speaker 5: a bunch of different ways substitutions make the communication difficult, 434 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 5: but it'll absolutely 435 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:12,640 Speaker 3: Be a point of emphasis for us going into the game.
