1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,440 Speaker 1: What did you think about Abdua obviously using them inside 2 00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:06,560 Speaker 1: linebacker more neckham, What did you think tell us what 3 00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:08,920 Speaker 1: went into the decision there to go that direction? 4 00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:12,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, appreciative of him. He put a lot of work 5 00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,040 Speaker 2: in last week to get ready to go, and I 6 00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:19,239 Speaker 2: thought he played well just where we were at numbers wise, 7 00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:22,240 Speaker 2: with the injuries kind of piling up at that position, 8 00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:26,520 Speaker 2: him having experience there, finding ways to get him on 9 00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:30,800 Speaker 2: the field, maximize getting all three of those guys on 10 00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:33,519 Speaker 2: the field as best we could. But I felt like 11 00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:38,200 Speaker 2: he was impactful when he had some opportunities, and again 12 00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,640 Speaker 2: to really take it in in one week and to 13 00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,240 Speaker 2: be able to go out there and execute like he did. 14 00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:47,279 Speaker 2: Was really pleased and impressed with him for what he 15 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:49,040 Speaker 2: was able to do for our defense and our team. 16 00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,240 Speaker 3: What is the balances and I think he's had his 17 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:53,520 Speaker 3: best obviously rushing off the y and if Darius is back, 18 00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,200 Speaker 3: if you just go back there, it more like getting 19 00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 3: on in the field, but putting them in the best position. 20 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:01,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's it's it's the battle you age, right, 21 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:03,640 Speaker 2: Just trying to find ways to get these guys in 22 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:09,040 Speaker 2: the positions where they can most impact. I think trying 23 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,480 Speaker 2: to be creative when he is off the ball at times, 24 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 2: what we're able to do with him to whether it's 25 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,679 Speaker 2: send them or whatever that might be, just where he 26 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:21,000 Speaker 2: can still have that same type of impact. It is 27 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 2: different from the edge to inside and and what that 28 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,039 Speaker 2: looks like. And that's something we're going to continue to 29 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 2: kind of evolve here. But it's something we consider as 30 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,440 Speaker 2: we go and obviously it's something we got to be 31 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 2: mindful of going into a game. 32 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 1: Like last week, there was a couple of plays that 33 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:39,560 Speaker 1: were there to be made for you, as I'm thinking 34 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 1: off the top of my head, like the Bobby fumble, 35 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 1: Paulsen had his hands on a ball. From a coaching perspective, 36 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 1: how do you go back and coach that? 37 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 2: What do you do? Like we got to make them. 38 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 2: Like we've had a bunch of opportunities these past two 39 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 2: weeks in Dallas. I think we had four or five 40 00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 2: we had our hands on the ball with a chance 41 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:00,840 Speaker 2: to come up with it, and we weren't able to 42 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 2: come up with it for whatever reason. The one with 43 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 2: Debo and the end zone, Nuban has it and Debo's 44 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 2: hand knocks it away late right the two when they're 45 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 2: both diving. Nuban has it and Bobby dives and knocks 46 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:14,960 Speaker 2: it away. So continue to emphasize being tight and get 47 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:16,679 Speaker 2: our hands on football. But we got to come down 48 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,279 Speaker 2: with them and make the play when we have our opportunities. 49 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 2: I think we dropped to last week where we had 50 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,919 Speaker 2: a chance at it for whatever reason. The fumble play. 51 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 2: I mean, I don't I don't fall Bobby for trying 52 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,120 Speaker 2: to scoop and score it like it's their space. He's there, 53 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 2: he actually does get it scooped. Actually, thought was a 54 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 2: really really good play by my homes. Just the effort 55 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:36,799 Speaker 2: and to be able to take it away from him. 56 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 2: I mean, coaching wise, it's see if we can scoop 57 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 2: it quicker and secure it quicker. But again, he made 58 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 2: a really good play, but we got to find ways 59 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 2: to take advantage of those situations. He can come away 60 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 2: with football. 61 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,920 Speaker 1: What do you think from Drew Phillips, Obviously he's in there, 62 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,240 Speaker 1: will pick his bench a little bit in kidnn Yeah. 63 00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 2: I think, uh, just continuing to work on the technique 64 00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 2: and fundamentals with him. I mean he was trying to 65 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 2: be disruptive, disrupt some of those routes. He was a 66 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 2: little too far off to do it like ict is 67 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 2: the point of emphasis in this league and it has 68 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 2: been for years. So and he got called on a 69 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 2: couple of those where he was a little too far 70 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 2: off and the contact happened late. And those guys they 71 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 2: know how to play the game on that side too, 72 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,920 Speaker 2: where they can kind of initiate it to some degree, 73 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 2: but not directly at us where we're still kind of 74 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 2: moving our feet. And that's why those things get called 75 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,920 Speaker 2: because you're not in a static position and you're trying 76 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 2: to move your feet to stay on bodies. So I 77 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 2: think just being mindful of that the technique and fundamentals 78 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 2: and man coverage, and I think part of that too 79 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,839 Speaker 2: is to make sure we get flots of work in there, 80 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 2: like at some point he's gonna have to go in 81 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 2: there and play and do some things for us as well, 82 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 2: So I mean that plays a role in it too. 83 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 2: So continue to improve day in and day out. That's 84 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 2: the biggest thing for all these guys, not just Drew, Like, 85 00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 2: let's get back to making sure we're focusing on the fundamentals. 86 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 2: That way we're able to make the players when they're there. 87 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 3: I think we're targeted thirty times in the first three games, 88 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 3: do you feel like teams are singling them out? And 89 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 3: then how do you kind of answer that? 90 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think that the Dallas game has 91 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 2: showed up a little bit just I think based on 92 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,920 Speaker 2: what we were playing, right, like there was the middle 93 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:21,599 Speaker 2: of the field and you're kind of one on one 94 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 2: with how things kind of sorted out there with our 95 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 2: scheme with CD and pickings. So I mean, that's that's 96 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,719 Speaker 2: a viable option at that point, just based on the 97 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 2: one on one. But yeah, I mean it seems like 98 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 2: they are. I think part of that is it could 99 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 2: be personnel related, it could be scheme related. Something we 100 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 2: continue to look at finding ways to do that and 101 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 2: again this week with McConkey in there, what's that going 102 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,919 Speaker 2: to be. I think that's something we're going to have 103 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 2: to evaluate as the game's going, as well. 104 00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 4: As some scurious Are you seeing them start to kind 105 00:04:58,440 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 4: of round in the shape a little bit following the end? 106 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:01,559 Speaker 1: He's hirst three games? 107 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, I am, I am. I think every day is 108 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 2: a new day, Like he's still working through it, like 109 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 2: any injury is a tough injury, and again he's a fighter, 110 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,279 Speaker 2: Like you're starting to see some flashes of him what 111 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 2: it is like when he has those opportunities one on 112 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 2: one I think late in two minutes, and another time, 113 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 2: like on the guard he's getting some push, he's going 114 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,920 Speaker 2: to win if the ball's not out. So with all 115 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 2: those guys up front, just continuing to stress, very similar 116 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 2: to Drew, the technique and fundamentals that come into play 117 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 2: with the run game, with the pass rush, and then 118 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,159 Speaker 2: ultimately when we get our one on ones, finding ways 119 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 2: to win. 120 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:39,919 Speaker 4: Shane, I don't know if you would say this to 121 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 4: your defense, but there's a new quarterbacks this week, right. 122 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 4: Do you present that to your defense that we've got 123 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 4: a guy making his first start. We've got to do 124 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 4: things to make it better for him. Give a better 125 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 4: field position, pick up, you know what I mean? Or 126 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,480 Speaker 4: is it like the quarterbacks the quarterback when. 127 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 1: We play defense. 128 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I think for us that's kind of 129 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 2: goes hand in hands with the tape away. He's like, 130 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 2: it's something we've always tried to preach, like, let's do 131 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 2: a good job seeing if we can get that all 132 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 2: away so we can set these guys up with some 133 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:12,159 Speaker 2: better field position and doing our part to It's a 134 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,119 Speaker 2: team game. It's not always about just stopping them keeping 135 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 2: them from scoring. It's about being able to set up 136 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,599 Speaker 2: the offense regardless of who the quarterback is. And that's 137 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 2: one area we haven't done a good enough job. And 138 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,039 Speaker 2: then we got to work to I mean, they all 139 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:30,240 Speaker 2: know obviously that Jackson's going in there. We got to 140 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,360 Speaker 2: go play defense and make sure we're doing our job 141 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 2: and doing everything we can to hopefully take the ball 142 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 2: away against a team that doesn't really turn it over 143 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 2: a whole lot. 144 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 4: Do you have any sense of Jackson from competing with 145 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 4: him train? 146 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, he's done a great job for us, like he has. 147 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 2: He's done a great job for us running the Show 148 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 2: team obviously training camps and the stuff he's done and 149 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:51,920 Speaker 2: stuff in the preseason. So excited to see him to 150 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:53,160 Speaker 2: go out there and compete on Sunday. 151 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 4: How have you seen him develop throughout. 152 00:06:56,839 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 2: Just the Yeah, I mean just against us, he's out 153 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 2: there and a lot of times on the Show team, 154 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,280 Speaker 2: you're own cards. You kind of have an idea of 155 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 2: what's coming and everything else, but just the ability to 156 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 2: cut it loose and make play. So again, I'm excited 157 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 2: to see him go there compete on Sunday, and see 158 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 2: how it does. 159 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 4: How much of an emphasis with some of the throws 160 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 4: that Herbert has put on tape in his career is. 161 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 1: Making sure that the back line of defense knows. 162 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, he's playing at a really high level right now. 163 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 2: Johnston's coming home for him like he's finding ways to 164 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 2: get him the ball. Really, all three of those guys 165 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 2: receivers are involved in the passing game. They're all a 166 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 2: little bit different. I think understanding that is a big 167 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 2: part of it. But I mean they're throwing the ball 168 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 2: more than what they've done. But the threat and the 169 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 2: run packages and all that is there, so they're able 170 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 2: to compliment the run and the play action and and 171 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 2: the things that come with that. And again, you've got 172 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 2: to make sure you stay on top, hope, hopefully, don't 173 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 2: give up the big ones to him as we go, 174 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 2: make him earn it. And he's just in the quarterback. 175 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 2: Herbert's been so decisive with where he wants to go 176 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 2: with the ball. He gets the ball out of his 177 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 2: hands quickly. So we gotta we gotta find some ways 178 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 2: to disrupt and see if we can get him to 179 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 2: possibly get off his first look and be able to 180 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 2: transition some of this play action game where we can 181 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 2: get some pressure on him.
