1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:04,640
Speaker 1: How are you all right? Just the one today?

2
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:13,240
Speaker 2: Think's been up here for eighteen minutes recording, So I guess, Uh, Karen,

3
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:15,159
Speaker 2: you wanna lead off? Uh?

4
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 1: Sure?

5
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:19,639
Speaker 3: Do you have any updated news on Terrell?

6
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:22,120
Speaker 4: And also how things are gonna play out?

7
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:25,640
Speaker 2: Uh? Calling the place.

8
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:32,159
Speaker 1: Defensively toward the game? Yeah, I would say yes, and

9
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:32,879
Speaker 1: I don't want to.

10
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:36,159
Speaker 2: Uh. I'm gonna try to tell you everything that I

11
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 2: feel like I could tell you. If we have update

12
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 2: on Terrell, I will allow him to handle that or

13
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 2: I'll talk about that next week.

14
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 1: I still won't know the plan of that going forward. Uh.

15
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 2: For the game, Zach core will call it a game defensively.

16
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 2: I mean, I'll help him like I like I always do.

17
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 2: But I'm excited for that. I think we've been prepared

18
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 2: all week for that, for the preparation for the game planning.

19
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 2: You know, all the phases of first and second down

20
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 2: and what this team tried wants to try to do,

21
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 2: and how we want to try to defend them, and

22
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 2: the keys and plan on third down or short yardage

23
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:14,759
Speaker 2: in the red zone.

24
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 1: So it was it was a good week of preparation.

25
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 2: Appreciate the show team doing what they did to try

26
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 2: to give us the shifts and the motions, and it's

27
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 2: hard to recreate that speed. But I felt like they

28
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 2: tried to do everything that they could for us to

29
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 2: get us ready. So I'll probably have more on Terrell

30
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 2: next week and then we'll go from there.

31
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 3: What have you seen from zach O many years that

32
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:42,679
Speaker 3: you know leads you.

33
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 2: To putting into these coss Well, going back to you know,

34
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 2: we just haven't been an offensive coach, and you know,

35
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 2: watched them work at Ohio State and when we were

36
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 2: able to get him to Tennessee, how quickly he translated

37
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 2: that knowledge to to defense. Now quickly he learned defense

38
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 2: and what asset he was defensively for us, especially coming

39
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 2: from some of the college game, and as some of

40
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 2: those trends started to make their way to the National

41
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 2: Football League and some of this the spread and they

42
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 2: you know, the r P O or things like that,

43
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 2: he really became an asset for us defensively.

44
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 1: Uh.

45
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 2: He worked, you know, did our did our red zone

46
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 2: stuff for us in Tennessee and then continue to grow,

47
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 2: continue to understand what we were doing. And then watching

48
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 2: them work in the spring and work in front of

49
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 2: the guys and prepare them in the spring and through

50
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 2: training camp until you know Terrell was back. That that's

51
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,079
Speaker 2: what I saw. I saw a lot of maturity, a

52
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 2: lot of growth, but also a lot of knowledge.

53
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: Christian neighborhood. Those both will be out. I guess I

54
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: can go through this.

55
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 2: Kean will be out, Gonzo will be out, Maphu will

56
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 2: be questionable, and Morgan Moses will be questionable. Know they're

57
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 2: designations with key on.

58
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,359
Speaker 1: Is that potentially the long term concern or.

59
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 2: Is it must be out for Sunday. I'm not gonna

60
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 2: speculate on what could happen after that.

61
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 3: So what are some of the any challenges of facing

62
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 3: a left hand and quarterback?

63
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 1: Oh, you train all these boots most of the time.

64
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 2: You know where they're gonna go, and we start matching

65
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 2: the hand, you know, trying to match the hand of

66
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 2: a right handed quarterback, and then all of a sudden

67
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:29,239
Speaker 2: you come out and he throws the first one with

68
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 2: his left hand and you put your right hand up

69
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 2: and it wi zobia. It's like the time I came

70
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 2: through in the college to try to block a punt

71
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 2: and I roughed the punter because I realized I didn't

72
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 2: know he was left footed. Came up the middle, probably

73
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 2: gave him a hit pointer, but it was a fifteen

74
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 2: yard penalty. So I think it's just a you know,

75
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 2: good reminder of you know, it's hard to train it,

76
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 2: and we can train it in pre practice with the

77
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 2: coaches and things like that, and just making sure that

78
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 2: you know.

79
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: Again the ball will come out quick. He has had

80
00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: some passes tipped.

81
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 2: I wouldn't say that he's the leader in the clubhouse,

82
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 2: but he's certainly not adverse to having some of those,

83
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 2: and we just have to be able to try to

84
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 2: do that and try to catch one of them or

85
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,839
Speaker 2: you know, affect some of these passes the best way

86
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 2: that we can.

87
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 3: Like you talked a couple of times this week about

88
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 3: player reactions and maintaining positivity and focusing on the next play.

89
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 3: How would you describe him just the team you practice

90
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,040
Speaker 3: and reaction this week coming off of a loss and

91
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 3: take into some day.

92
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 2: I mean coming off a loss or a win. I

93
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 2: think we just have to make sure that we're consistent

94
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 2: in what we do. This league doesn't wait around for you,

95
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,919
Speaker 2: doesn't feel sorry for you. There's somebody there, there's another hole,

96
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 2: you know, waiting for you to hit it. In the

97
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 2: woods or hit it down the midll of fairway if

98
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 2: you boge the first hole and you have to be

99
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 2: able to come back and answer. And those are the

100
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 2: things that we've tried to talk about. So what that

101
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 2: looks like, I don't know. I mean, we'll see really

102
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,479
Speaker 2: when the game comes. Is how we respond through you know,

103
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,160
Speaker 2: how we start to compliment each other and lift each

104
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 2: other up and and feed off each other and continue

105
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 2: to make positive plays and continue to maintain momentum. And

106
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 2: if we don't have it making a play that we'll

107
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 2: create it.

108
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 4: If with Moses being questionable, what would be next up there?

109
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 1: Would it be Low or Bryant?

110
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 3: And could we see maybe a possible rotation given the.

111
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 2: Weather down there, I would say going backwards, yeah, you

112
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:29,919
Speaker 2: could see a possible rotation anywhere right to try to

113
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 2: create that balance of guys that are, you know, playing

114
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 2: with some energy and some effort and the things that

115
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 2: you need to do to be able to strain and

116
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:39,840
Speaker 2: win a football game.

117
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 1: Marcus would be the first one in.

118
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 2: Vedarian has worked hard throughout the spring and training camp

119
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,720
Speaker 2: to get back, was active last week, so he would

120
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:55,280
Speaker 2: be again an option as well. So from where he

121
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,359
Speaker 2: was in the spring and trying to stay focused and

122
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 2: into it and rehab and recover. Yeah, I think he's

123
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 2: been working hard. What have you seen from Anthony and

124
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 2: Lush ponder just just geting back to the then new

125
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 2: training camp.

126
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,599
Speaker 3: And the seven very ready?

127
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, very ready. I mean I think Anthony is very ready.

128
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 2: You know, I had to make a tough decision last week.

129
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 2: We can only have so many guys active, and so

130
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 2: I'm excited to.

131
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 1: See Anthony play. He's always been prepared.

132
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 2: And taking advantage of his opportunities. He'll continue, I would imagine,

133
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 2: do that on on on Sunday and play hard and

134
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 2: play physical and be ready to go. And Elijah's earned

135
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 2: a role for himself on special teams and you know

136
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 2: see about working them in their own defense. After the

137
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 2: second preseason name he said this year one, we have

138
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,799
Speaker 2: to get it right out of the regular season started.

139
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 3: How do you balance along.

140
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 2: You with the week to week or well, we're yeah,

141
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 2: I think that that's a really great question.

142
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:04,600
Speaker 1: I think it's about.

143
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 2: Preparing them to win, but then also continuing to develop

144
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 2: and build, like you said, and so again having things

145
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 2: and opportunities for the younger players, whether that's post practice

146
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 2: or the practice squad players and getting them what they

147
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 2: need and having reps for them afterwards so that they

148
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 2: can be coached, and talking about watching their tape tomorrow

149
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 2: morning with the coaches before the meetings so that they

150
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 2: can see their reps this week and their speed reps,

151
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 2: and you know, just trying to get the right balance.

152
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: And I think that's the biggest thing.

153
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,679
Speaker 2: I mean, we have to prepare to win and play

154
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 2: to win and compete to win and.

155
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 1: Never lose sight of that. That's our short.

156
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 2: Term goal, and then the long term goal of you know,

157
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 2: just putting all the pieces together is something that you know,

158
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 2: I think everybody tries to focus on.

159
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 4: Mike, you had a cool this week on radio where

160
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 4: you said we'll need a morecaust been fine to run

161
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 4: plan that we believe in. They gotta be wondering, how

162
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 4: does can you give the climis version on how you guys?

163
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean no, no, no, no, I mean again,

164
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 2: this is and I and I know that doing a

165
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 2: radio show at six thirty on Monday morning after a

166
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 2: loss is probably gonna come back to haunt me in

167
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 2: and it's gonna get picked apart.

168
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 1: And so I'll do my best to to try to

169
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 1: explain that after a week. But you know that's that's

170
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 1: the position. And we can all look over at Stacy,

171
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 1: but I get it. I'll be there every morning Monday

172
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 1: six thirty. No, it's just trusting the look. Trusting the look.

173
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 2: Right, we gotta we got to plan and you've got

174
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 2: to block support, you got it. And you can't always

175
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 2: figure out where they're gonna be, right, And so do

176
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 2: we motion to try to gain an advantage, do we

177
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 2: stay there and try to dig somebody out?

178
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: Do we combination?

179
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 2: And and really you just have to until you know,

180
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,199
Speaker 2: you got to just line up and go with your

181
00:08:59,200 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 2: base rules.

182
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 1: And I was.

183
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 2: Using leave the widest, right, You're gonna leave the widest

184
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 2: on some of these runs. You can't always, you know, block,

185
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 2: You're not gonna be able to block everybody. And so

186
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 2: we think, okay, there they're going to run this pressure,

187
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 2: they're going to react this way, don't We don't know,

188
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 2: you know. And so if we motion and there's two

189
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 2: guys over there and there's only one defender, then they're

190
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 2: not sound. But you know, we have to be able to,

191
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 2: you know, have some concepts in or passes in that

192
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,559
Speaker 2: you know, allows us to throw the football over there,

193
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 2: not that you're gonna be able to do that and

194
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 2: mid you know, mid motion, but uh, just making sure

195
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 2: that if you don't know ran and you come out

196
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 2: of the huddle and then we're not We're going to

197
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 2: our base ules. We're not trying to like reinvent the

198
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,679
Speaker 2: wheel when you're not sure. And sometimes that happens with

199
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 2: a new play. And again, we didn't know where they

200
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 2: were going to be on the one short yardage with Trayveon,

201
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 2: but we ran it. We gained fourteen yards. We were

202
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 2: decisi and we went as opposed to being, well, you know,

203
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 2: where where are we going to put the mic and

204
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 2: all this other stuff. So just just that was a

205
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 2: reminder of being decisive and being aggressive was all I

206
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 2: was trying to get at, not you know, we we

207
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,559
Speaker 2: believe in everything that we're going to be doing, and

208
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 2: making sure that.

209
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 1: We go into a game with things that, hey, this

210
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:21,079
Speaker 1: is what we're gonna do.

211
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 2: We got to put four hands on this guy, we

212
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,440
Speaker 2: got to move, we got to know where you know,

213
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 2: a certain particular player is and making sure that you know,

214
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 2: we've got him handled.

215
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,559
Speaker 1: And those are things that come up each and every

216
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 1: week as far as keys.

217
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 4: In terms of the plan, especially with like offense, Like

218
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 4: how do you do it?

219
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,359
Speaker 1: Like do you give a direction on Monday? The coordinators

220
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 1: check in and you approve. No. I usually sit in there,

221
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 1: you know.

222
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 2: I mean I usually sit in there and go through

223
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 2: and I have ideas and they have ideas, and you know,

224
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 2: we'll have a run game meeting on both sides of

225
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:55,319
Speaker 2: the football. We'll have a pass, you know, first and

226
00:10:55,400 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 2: second down pass, you know, and then you start to

227
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 2: to draw plays and cards and then you make sure

228
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 2: that our adjustments are sound before you get the tip

229
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 2: sheets ready for the players move on to short yardage

230
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 2: third down. But yeah, I'm I'm I'm bouncing back and

231
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 2: forth and trying to make sure and and focus on

232
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 2: who's gonna be playing, or who's available this week, or

233
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 2: things that we need to account for each and every week.

234
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:23,439
Speaker 1: Thank you, guys,
