1 00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:02,760 Speaker 1: That was a tough one. Obviously, last week we got 2 00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:03,440 Speaker 1: to find a way to. 3 00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:08,799 Speaker 2: I thought we started pretty well and then we got 4 00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:10,120 Speaker 2: to find a way to keep it going. I think 5 00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:13,040 Speaker 2: the second quarter, we've got some guys banged up, and 6 00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:17,560 Speaker 2: I caught up to us and the avalanche started to happen. 7 00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:21,000 Speaker 2: So all credit to Dallas and their game plan. You know, 8 00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,160 Speaker 2: we've hit the reset button and we're getting ready to 9 00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:27,920 Speaker 2: go play better Washington team. Then we played twenty four 10 00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:29,960 Speaker 2: to twenty five days ago. How many days ago it's been, 11 00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:32,760 Speaker 2: But it's gonna be a tough challenge for us. I 12 00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:35,199 Speaker 2: think Sam's playing a lot better. He's getting rid of 13 00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:39,360 Speaker 2: the ball quicker. I think that, you know, he's starting 14 00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:42,360 Speaker 2: to find the you know, the answers that Eric has 15 00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:46,760 Speaker 2: in his offense. I told the defense it's equainting to 16 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 2: the same thing as how Bobby's improved and progressed. 17 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:52,360 Speaker 1: As the Mike linebacker on our defense. 18 00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:57,120 Speaker 2: I think Sam has done the same at quarterback for Washington. 19 00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 2: So with that will open up to questions. Okay, thanks, 20 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:04,000 Speaker 2: Do you. 21 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:05,400 Speaker 1: Make concerns about Bobby's injury? 22 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, any anytime anybody gets banged up. I 23 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 2: got concerns for him, but we'll see where he's at. 24 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:15,840 Speaker 2: And you know, I think Dave's only answer, you know, 25 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,559 Speaker 2: all those questions about the injuries, if. 26 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:20,319 Speaker 1: You had to replace him, what goes into that? 27 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 3: Obviously he's a does Micah kind of step more into that? 28 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 2: Well, I believe it would be Micah. You know, we 29 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 2: we'd say do and talk about it. You know, Beeves 30 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,119 Speaker 2: is really starting to come back from the knee injury 31 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,679 Speaker 2: and looking well at doing nice things in practice. So 32 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,560 Speaker 2: I think, you know, we'd have to wait and see 33 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 2: what we could do roster wise and everything else with 34 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,120 Speaker 2: Joe and Daves and go from there. 35 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 1: But you know, Mike has been playing well. 36 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 2: Uh get a little beat up in the Dallas game, 37 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 2: but uh, you know, I think that's what we'd have 38 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 2: to do. 39 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 4: Jordan, Wait, can you talk about his development? Sometimes a 40 00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 4: season going great, right, is a guy really developing or 41 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 4: is he just standing out among the other guys? 42 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:04,560 Speaker 1: It seems like. 43 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 3: No. 44 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 1: I think you're right. I think he has developed. 45 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 2: You know, credit to him the hard work he's put in, 46 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 2: hard work he put in the off season. He's he's 47 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:15,799 Speaker 2: got more confidence. And I think Bobby has a lot 48 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,359 Speaker 2: to do with MICA's development as well. Eggs has done 49 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 2: a great job with all those guys in that room, 50 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 2: but Mikes, he's he's done a nice job of of, 51 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 2: you know, taking the opportunity and running with it. And 52 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 2: you know he's you know, and if he'd be the 53 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 2: first to tell you he still has things he wants 54 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 2: to work on and get better at as well, and 55 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 2: that's one of the reasons why he's improved. 56 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 4: Wait, how did you unique is giving up six hundred 57 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:41,639 Speaker 4: and forty yards in your career? 58 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 2: No, it it was tough. It doesn't happen very often, 59 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,800 Speaker 2: or you wouldn't have this job very long, so you know, 60 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 2: it was. It was, It was. It was a tough game. 61 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 2: It was really a tough game. But like I said, 62 00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,359 Speaker 2: I get Dallas credit. It was one of those games 63 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 2: that you make a call and you feel real good 64 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:03,920 Speaker 2: about it until the ball snapped and you're like, oh, no, 65 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:08,360 Speaker 2: you know, and it was it was a tough one 66 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:08,919 Speaker 2: for all of us. 67 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 4: Do you think your players kind of got dispirited as 68 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,800 Speaker 4: the game went along given the scoreboard. 69 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 1: I don't know, Kim. I still think those guys fight. 70 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 2: I think they got too much respect for the game, 71 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 2: and like I said, you know, we had some guys, 72 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 2: you know, cave On and Tay and you know, some 73 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 2: guys went down there at halftime and you know, but. 74 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 1: They all fought. 75 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 2: I think that's that's the thing that I love, you know, 76 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 2: one of the many things I love about it is 77 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 2: they're they're they're fighters, They're gonna fighter. 78 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 4: Do you do you then challenge? 79 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 1: Say what you with what you just said? 80 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,119 Speaker 3: You know you kind of understand why it happened obviously, 81 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 3: but do you then. 82 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 4: Challenge the group this week? 83 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 1: Or do you. 84 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 4: Step back and take a different kind of tone with 85 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 4: your defensive players? 86 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 2: No, I think that you got to stay consistent and 87 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 2: you do challengeallenge. You challenge them every week and the 88 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 2: challenges of Washington's offense and uh, you know this league, 89 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 2: you know, there's no easy there's no easy outs. 90 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 4: You know. 91 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 1: I mean, they're they're gonna they're gonna. 92 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:18,839 Speaker 2: Step on your throat they think you're down, and you know, 93 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 2: and you do the same thing, you know, defensively if 94 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 2: you're doing that to an offense, and you know, so 95 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 2: I think that you know the challenge is is, you know, 96 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 2: we have to get ready for Washington, and you know, 97 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 2: the players see how much they've improved as well offensively 98 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 2: where there you know the way the quarterback has been playing, 99 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 2: and and you know the receivers are stepping up their 100 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:46,159 Speaker 2: game and Logan is you know, his security blanket and 101 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 2: uh in third down and red zone and things like that. 102 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 1: So it's gonna be a great challenge for us with. 103 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 4: Like Doriy and Dee and Cordell or little Ding. Do 104 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,919 Speaker 4: you have to just launch if you're doing or what 105 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 4: do you just say next man help do. 106 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,719 Speaker 1: The same thing. No, I think you have to adjust. 107 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 1: I really do. 108 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 2: It's it's one of those things like you know in 109 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 2: the Dallas game, when the ball's throwing down the field 110 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:12,839 Speaker 2: so far. 111 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,040 Speaker 1: You know, I know there's you know some. 112 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,719 Speaker 2: Broadcasters that think that you're in man coverage all the time, 113 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 2: and you know we were in three deep zones. We 114 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:22,919 Speaker 2: were in too deep. We were you know, we tried 115 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 2: every coverage, but when the balls shown that far down 116 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 2: the field, it ends up being a one on one 117 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:31,279 Speaker 2: situation and you know, sometimes you make the play it 118 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 2: sometimes I make the point. 119 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 1: So that's the challenge you have. Did you play Mori 120 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:36,160 Speaker 1: zone as the game? 121 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 2: When I try to try, Yeah, try to try to Jordan. Uh, 122 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 2: you know, but honest quite honestly, it's like we didn't 123 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,159 Speaker 2: have our fastball or curveball or a change up, you know, 124 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,279 Speaker 2: because they they just hit out of the park whatever 125 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 2: we whatever we. 126 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 1: Threw at them. It was just one of those games. 127 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,919 Speaker 1: Like I said, I give credit to Dallas the broadcast. 128 00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 3: Show, you and Dable in an extended conversation, like it 129 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 3: looked like the first quarter and the second quarter, and 130 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 3: then like Rinaldi pointed out that after halftime, it was continuing. 131 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 1: Yeah. Da. 132 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 2: Dave said something to me that after the game about that, 133 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 2: and you know, he and I talk all the time, 134 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:18,279 Speaker 2: but in those two situations, I talked to him about 135 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 2: what happened because you know, one thing about our defense, 136 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,800 Speaker 2: we don't give up a whole lot of big passing plays, uh. 137 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:26,560 Speaker 2: And you know I cut it the secondary to that 138 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 2: and in Rome and we gave up some big plays 139 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 2: in the passing again which you all saw. So I 140 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,240 Speaker 2: told him what happened on the coverages. That was it, 141 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,039 Speaker 2: you know, right before half and then coming back out 142 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,720 Speaker 2: he just got done at that time talking to the trainers, 143 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:45,279 Speaker 2: and we were talking about who wasn't coming back, you 144 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 2: know for the third quarter during that time that turned 145 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,359 Speaker 2: into whatever it turned into, but there was there was 146 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 2: nothing to it. 147 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:55,599 Speaker 1: You've played a couple of games about Leo. Now what 148 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 1: have you seen from how the defensive line has kind. 149 00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 2: Of you know, I think that uh, Nacho and Ashan 150 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 2: have really stepped up, and I think DJ Davison the 151 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 2: last three weeks have had some of the best practices 152 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 2: he's had since he's been here. He's on the rise, 153 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 2: He's on the come as well. So you know, Ahan 154 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 2: is like the last three weeks has done some nice 155 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 2: things for us, and Nacho has as well. But you know, 156 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 2: like Kim brought up, when you have a game like that, 157 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 2: you know, nobody played well. 158 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 1: Nobody. 159 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 2: You know, we didn't coach well, we didn't play well, 160 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 2: we didn't whatever, you know, whatever you want to put 161 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,240 Speaker 2: on and put on it, but there's no there's no 162 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 2: hiding from that. 163 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 1: Like I said, I'd give Dallas credit. Wait take that more. 164 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 4: You been in this spot a lot in your career. 165 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 4: Is there a point at which you want to play 166 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 4: a young guy, get more rests to young guys, guys 167 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 4: who aren't playing as much to see them and evaluate them, 168 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 4: or is it always play the best player. 169 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 1: I mean, that's the way. That's the way it is 170 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 1: with my philosophy. 171 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 2: And you know, unless somebody comes to me and says 172 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 2: they want to see this guy and play this guy, 173 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 2: obviously you know that's what we'll do. But you know, 174 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 2: you're here to win every day, you know, off season, 175 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 2: during the season, everything else. 176 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:22,239 Speaker 1: So we're playing these games to win them and play. Well. 177 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 1: Did you lose? 178 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 2: I feel like you lost more than just the football 179 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 2: stuff with Leo, and have you been able to. 180 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 1: Get that back. 181 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 2: I think we got great leaders in that room, you know, 182 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 2: like I said, we missed Leo. We missed the guy, 183 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 2: you know, his personality. But no, I think there's great 184 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 2: leadership you know from Dre and starting with Dre in 185 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 2: that D line groom and those you know decks being 186 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,800 Speaker 2: number one and Nacho and Ashan, they've done a great 187 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 2: job as far as leading and leading within the entire. 188 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 1: Defense as well. So you know, like I said, I 189 00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 1: missed the guy just because you missed Leo. 190 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 2: But it's it, uh, I don't I don't think we 191 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 2: lost anything leadership wise that way.
