1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:06,519 Speaker 1: Hey, how are you care morning? Uh, give the firepower 2 00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:11,440 Speaker 1: you have and you're running back room. How disappointing was it? Uh, 3 00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:14,720 Speaker 1: you know that the group was kind of held. 4 00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:19,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think to have a successful offensive play, 5 00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:24,320 Speaker 2: it takes really everybody. It takes the the play caller 6 00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:29,560 Speaker 2: right getting the play in efficiently. It takes us being 7 00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:31,760 Speaker 2: able to identify the players that we need to block, 8 00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:34,000 Speaker 2: the ones that we're we're not going to be able 9 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,639 Speaker 2: to block, and the ones that when we block them 10 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:38,479 Speaker 2: and we're in combination that we have to move them. 11 00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:40,840 Speaker 1: And then the backs have to have to run whether 12 00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:41,159 Speaker 1: or not. 13 00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:43,440 Speaker 2: And we we say that, so again, it's not just 14 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:44,960 Speaker 2: the the. 15 00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:46,839 Speaker 1: Players that we have that we're handing the ball to. 16 00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:47,840 Speaker 1: It's it's everybody. 17 00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:50,839 Speaker 2: And again we have a lot of confidence in the 18 00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:52,960 Speaker 2: in the running backs, but also we have to be 19 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:57,880 Speaker 2: able to have a great execution in any scheme, whether 20 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:02,480 Speaker 2: that's the zone scheme, gap scheme. And so again we 21 00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:04,319 Speaker 2: the bottom line is we have to run the ball 22 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 2: better and we have to run it more efficiently, because 23 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,640 Speaker 2: then I think that all opens up, you know, some 24 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 2: more of the stuff that we're doing and can do 25 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:12,960 Speaker 2: and want to be able to do. 26 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,040 Speaker 1: So it's not just a drop back passing game. 27 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 2: You just want away from the run a lot in 28 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,959 Speaker 2: the second half of I don't think the mandre orcher 29 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 2: have gone. 30 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:25,039 Speaker 1: Benny Barret's Was that just because the runting was efficiently. 31 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, it was just wasn't you know, it wasn't one 32 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,120 Speaker 2: of our better plays. And again, we just have to 33 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 2: take advantage of the plays that we do call and 34 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 2: and hit it and when when we have guys open 35 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 2: and just being able to start the second half and 36 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 2: you know, being able to go down there and continue 37 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 2: that drive and unfortunately, you know, not not turn it 38 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 2: over and be able to create some momentum in that situation. 39 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 2: Have you talked about this real briefly after the game, 40 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 2: but do the benefit of hindsight any more thoughts about 41 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 2: deciding to talk with roughly. 42 00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 1: Fires, I mean, I don't think so. 43 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 2: I think that the way that the game was going, 44 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 2: I mean, again, hindsight, yeah, I mean, if we were 45 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 2: going to get the fourth and ten and go down 46 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 2: there and score a touchdown and stop them, and you know, 47 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 2: but they don't let us do that. You know, we 48 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 2: have to make a decision. You have to be decisive 49 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 2: and then once you do that, you have to execute. 50 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,839 Speaker 1: On the field, and so we weren't good enough. 51 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 2: It didn't turn out to be the right decision and 52 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 2: it didn't turn out to be the right execution. And unfortunately, 53 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:29,680 Speaker 2: when you get into those situations down two scores like that, 54 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:34,080 Speaker 2: everything has to be perfect. Everything has to be perfect, 55 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 2: and so that's why you have to avoid those situations 56 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:37,360 Speaker 2: at all costs. 57 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 1: Like on the radio this morning talking about the run game, 58 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 1: you mentioned something along the lines of, you know, there 59 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:45,680 Speaker 1: might be issues that a team presents us. They might 60 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 1: be in a certain front and then we have to 61 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 1: get away from them where we think we have to 62 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 1: get away from a certain route. Did they give you 63 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 1: something that you weren't expecting. 64 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 2: Well, they're just there were different pieces and different guys 65 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 2: moving at different parts of the area, and whether we 66 00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:01,079 Speaker 2: wanted to run a play at a certain player, you're 67 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:02,520 Speaker 2: never going to know. And I think we just have 68 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 2: to rely on our base base rules based fundamentals. You know, 69 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 2: block block the bigs and block the backers, and again 70 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 2: you're gonna have to do something to get to safety. 71 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,520 Speaker 2: And sometimes the corners are are the ones that are 72 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 2: left uh in some of these run games. So because 73 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:23,079 Speaker 2: you either can rpo it, you can read somebody, or 74 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,639 Speaker 2: they're going to have a player again White. It's from 75 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:30,240 Speaker 2: the formation that that in theory is free. So we 76 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,800 Speaker 2: we have to pick something each play and decide how 77 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 2: we want to run it, but but not be uh, 78 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 2: you know, tentative and making sure that we're never going 79 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 2: to be perfect, right, you just want to be precise. 80 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 2: And I think that that's going to be the message 81 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 2: to us going forward, is how we improve and we 82 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 2: can't rely and we can't think that every play is 83 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 2: going to be perfect. It's never going to be that way. 84 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 2: And when it isn't perfect, that we somehow have some 85 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 2: sort of reaction. 86 00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 1: And we need to make sure that we have a. 87 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 2: Great response and continue to stay positive and have positive 88 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 2: plays overcome whatever penalties and things that we have to fix. 89 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 2: And we have to protect the ball, you know, we 90 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 2: have to keep make sure that we protect the football, 91 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 2: and then it takes everybody the great precise and perfect that. 92 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:21,359 Speaker 1: Well, man, that that's the challenge. 93 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 2: I think everything that we do, we we always want 94 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 2: to be competitive and do. 95 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 1: It the right way. 96 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 2: But then then you know, there just can't be any 97 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:33,719 Speaker 2: sort of block that that keeps us from from just 98 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 2: going and playing a game and knowing that it's not 99 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 2: going to look great at times, but it's going to 100 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,280 Speaker 2: be making a play and somebody has to do that, 101 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,679 Speaker 2: and you know, just somebody on defense has got to 102 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 2: beat their guy or tip a pass and accept the ball, 103 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 2: knock it out, and just again, there's a scheme to it. 104 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:54,600 Speaker 2: There is, and it's just I don't say that by 105 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 2: going wrong. There's a scheme to it. But then throughout 106 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 2: the course of the game there's you know, somebody makes 107 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 2: a play. 108 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:03,839 Speaker 1: You guys were mostly successful when you blitz, but it 109 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 1: seemed like the four man pass rushes weren't quite as effective. 110 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,360 Speaker 1: What did you see from the blitzer versus the four 111 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 1: man rushes They kind of cause that despair. 112 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, I did like our blitz demeanor most of the day. 113 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 2: That wasn't great, certainly on the touchdown, but I think 114 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 2: when you blitz, it's about timing and. 115 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,280 Speaker 1: You know, about about being where you're supposed to be if. 116 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 2: He's supposed to come under the back to free up 117 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,919 Speaker 2: somebody else that's coming. You know, those things that we 118 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:38,159 Speaker 2: did and it was effective. I think we had some 119 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 2: some good four man rushes there were times where guys one, 120 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:45,839 Speaker 2: whether we're going to rush straight or whether we're gaming 121 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,720 Speaker 2: just having an understanding of where the slide is, or 122 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,840 Speaker 2: who you're working with on a particular side, whether he's 123 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 2: going to be hind the b gap and you know 124 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 2: you need to wrap around, or where they're winning on 125 00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,040 Speaker 2: the edge and we need great push in the middle. 126 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,039 Speaker 2: So those are kind of things that come up with 127 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,039 Speaker 2: a four man rush and will continue to work them. 128 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: Uh, you know, I can't can't live in a in 129 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 1: a blitzed world. Sean Bube just what a lot of 130 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,040 Speaker 1: him to start the season up strong and how much 131 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 1: growth did you see from him off season? 132 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 2: Of Top downing last week just said he was sort 133 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,840 Speaker 2: of night and day between him and the professionals. 134 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:20,159 Speaker 1: From the spring. Yeah, I mean, just that's a lot 135 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:21,040 Speaker 1: of positives there. 136 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 2: I think his comfort level and us and everybody and 137 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,840 Speaker 2: what we're doing, and let's say, his professionalism, the way 138 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 2: he came in and prepared and I knew a lot 139 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 2: of spots. 140 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 1: You know, I played a bunch of. 141 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 2: Different positions in camp, which gave him a really good 142 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 2: role which then then grew. 143 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 1: I think the quarterback trusts him. 144 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:44,160 Speaker 2: I think he's got good, good play strength and at 145 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,919 Speaker 2: the top of the route and so looking forward to 146 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:52,359 Speaker 2: continue to improve and you know, so I'm happy for 147 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 2: him that he's been able to have success from from 148 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:56,360 Speaker 2: the spring to till now. 149 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:00,599 Speaker 1: When it comes to the running back and who you 150 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,360 Speaker 1: put on the field of the seventy one stats, that 151 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 1: if Romandre had the bulk of them was a sort 152 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 1: of predetermined. How much of that is based on the 153 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 1: winning game? 154 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 2: Well, I mean, I think some of it is just 155 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 2: based on the play and the flow of the game 156 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 2: and knowing that they're all going to have a role, 157 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 2: and Trayveon is going to have a role, and you know, 158 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 2: Ramandre is going to do some things. So I don't 159 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 2: think it's ever going to be perfect, and we have 160 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 2: to evaluate everything to make sure that we're getting it 161 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 2: right based on volume, who's playing, who's getting the ball, 162 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 2: who's trying to get the ball. It's hard to always 163 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,680 Speaker 2: dictate when we throw it, who gets it. But you know, 164 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 2: whatever the scheme is, that we're executing it and being 165 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 2: able to stay balanced. 166 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 1: See from Jalen Hawkins yesterday, just. 167 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 2: Not having thought out this, well, man, I think that 168 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 2: there was an energy. I thought that you know, I mean, 169 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 2: he made a nice few uh you know, splash plays, 170 00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 2: a few productive plays. It blitzed well and on the quarterback, 171 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,720 Speaker 2: and it was in great position on the tip ball, 172 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 2: and then some mistackles showed. 173 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 1: Up and those things we have to correct. 174 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 2: So again trust trying to put it in the buckets 175 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 2: of continuing to teach the good, the bad, and the 176 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 2: stuff that gets you beat and we have to, you know, 177 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 2: make sure that we're fixing the bad stuff and then 178 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 2: eliminating the stuff that gets us beaten. You know, understanding 179 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 2: you know, all the little details of all three phases 180 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 2: and putting it together, tie it together. You know, defense 181 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 2: had three three and outs and we managed three points 182 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,839 Speaker 2: like that's complimentary. Football is not going to exist and 183 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 2: we're not going to win games if our defense can 184 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:41,320 Speaker 2: do that and we only managed three points. So there'll 185 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:46,560 Speaker 2: be times that, you know, we're going to need the 186 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 2: offense to help us and possess the football longer to 187 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 2: help the defense. And when we get three and outs 188 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 2: like that, the offense is going to have to do something. 189 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 2: And when we do kickfield goals, we'll have to make them. 190 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 2: So again, just showing everybody how those things is tie 191 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 2: in and then we talked about the second half and 192 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,080 Speaker 2: I think we got into the drive and then quickly 193 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 2: got out of the drive and then we gave up 194 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 2: a touchdown. 195 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 1: So you know, it was tough. Is there anything with Drake? 196 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:19,080 Speaker 1: Is there any chance you feel like there might be 197 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:20,960 Speaker 1: too much on his plate right now? You talked about 198 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 1: him maybe wanted to play perfect or maybe look intentative again, 199 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 1: I think we have to evaluate that. 200 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 2: We have to find out is there you know, is 201 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 2: there something there or we just got to you know, 202 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 2: figure out what our guys do best and do that 203 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:40,959 Speaker 2: and you know, because if you do that right, then 204 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 2: you have to be really good, you know, as opposed 205 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 2: to trying to scheme or get into the right situation. Again, 206 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 2: we just make sure that we had were giving them answers, 207 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:51,560 Speaker 2: but by trying not to give them too much. I 208 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:55,960 Speaker 2: think that's always the balance and the fine line defensive tackling. 209 00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 1: Overall, it seemed pretty solid against. 210 00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,560 Speaker 2: The run with there's some space place, you know, there's 211 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 2: there's some space plays. We know how difficult it is 212 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 2: to you know, to get him down in space and 213 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 2: making great decisions and being able just to get on 214 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 2: to the next play. And making sure that you know, 215 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 2: we come to balance, we cast a net, use our arms, 216 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 2: use our length, not go off the diving board, take 217 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,960 Speaker 2: great angles, you know, and then everybody else has to 218 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 2: run and try to get there. You know, we probably 219 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,720 Speaker 2: missed some hammer attempts to find the football and be 220 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 2: able to hammer it out. 221 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 1: And so those are those are. 222 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:34,199 Speaker 2: Great teaching moments, uh, And confident that that will improve 223 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,920 Speaker 2: and and we'll again we're gonna learn together, we're gonna 224 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,559 Speaker 2: win together, we're gonna stick together through this. 225 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 1: Played a calear high forty nine snaps. I played a 226 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,280 Speaker 1: lot more than did last year. Had you see those 227 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 1: guys respond? 228 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 2: You know, well, I thought Milt was disruptive and again 229 00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:52,319 Speaker 2: had some really good plays. And I think that when 230 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 2: he sees how he can mix his you know, penetration 231 00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:57,840 Speaker 2: in with playing with his hands and playing with some 232 00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:02,200 Speaker 2: technique and those things all factored and then he'll start 233 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 2: to finish more. And but I thought he, yeah, showed 234 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,720 Speaker 2: well and continue to go. But you know, we lost. 235 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:14,960 Speaker 2: So nobody played well enough, nobody coached well enough for 236 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 2: us to win. But there were some encouraging things. Yeah, 237 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:20,720 Speaker 2: I appreciate it, guys. 238 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 1: Thanks
