1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,279
Speaker 1: Alright, So to think we'll begin on preparation for Dallas,

2
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:06,720
Speaker 1: I'd say just off the bat, this is extremely talented team.

3
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:08,920
Speaker 1: They're playing at a very very high level. You know,

4
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:11,080
Speaker 1: getting ready for this team is really gonna take everything

5
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 1: we have and all three sides of the ball. And

6
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 1: so you start, you know, offensively, and obviously Mike's background

7
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:17,439
Speaker 1: is offensively. You can see a large influence of his

8
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 1: this year. It's still kell and calling. The players are

9
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 1: a large design you know, from Kellen's offense, and that

10
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:24,279
Speaker 1: stretches back even going through his experience with Jason, but

11
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 1: you see a lot of the influence right now in

12
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 1: terms of how they're playing. You know, the run games

13
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 1: extremely efficient and effective on early downstaying ahead of the sticks.

14
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 1: They're doing a great job on early downs with the

15
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:33,839
Speaker 1: short control passing him kind of ties a lot back

16
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 1: in that West Coast offense with Mike and how he

17
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:37,919
Speaker 1: used it in the past. And then of course they

18
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 1: know how to really tie in shot plays down the

19
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:41,560
Speaker 1: field and really create matchups for their players. Doing a

20
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 1: really good job right now with Zeke Ceedee, Lamb Cooper

21
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:46,879
Speaker 1: and those guys really getting them involved. Schultz is really

22
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:49,160
Speaker 1: showing a big and key situation, been a very productive player.

23
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 1: I think their offensive line this year it's playing an

24
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 1: extremely high level that we all know about how talented

25
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 1: that line has been over the course last decade plus,

26
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 1: and they just keep on wrong with those guys. It's

27
00:00:58,040 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 1: really helping the run game. In the past game. I

28
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 1: think you talk about number four. I mean, obviously Dak's

29
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 1: one of the top guys in the league, one of

30
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 1: those productive players. You know, he's still a threat with

31
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 1: his legs, he's not afraid to run it. But this

32
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 1: guy really keeps his eyes downfield, looks to extend plays.

33
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 1: Really more for the past and anything else. I think

34
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: when you talk about their offense, you know you can

35
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 1: go ahead and just spin a wheel. There's a weapon

36
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 1: in every turn, So you can't go ahead and focus

37
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: on one guy. You've got to play good sound defense

38
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 1: as a team and work hard to get him off

39
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,680
Speaker 1: the field. That's easier said than done. Defensively, you can

40
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 1: see Dan's influence right away, and this team plays fast,

41
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,680
Speaker 1: they play aggressive, very high effort, and they're having a

42
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 1: lot of results with turnovers and there's a turnover driven defense. Uh,

43
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 1: they're having a lot of production and that really stems

44
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 1: from up front, the pass rushing disruption. They're getting right

45
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 1: there and they're able to pin your ears back and

46
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: really get you if they get you behind the sticks

47
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 1: right there. You know, when your reference across the board

48
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: what they're doing. You can say somebody influence from Dan

49
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: you know schematically, but they're doing a lot of different

50
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: things schematically than what they did when he was in Atlanta,

51
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 1: whereas years a Seattle system. Right there, you know, they've

52
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 1: got defensive backs are very talented. The matchup very sticky

53
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 1: on you, whether it's playing man or matchup zone, creates

54
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: a lot of problems for you with there sievers in

55
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: terms of having a fight to get open, and then

56
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 1: as well you're struggling to get open, they go ahead

57
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: with the rush. It's very high stunt percentage. A lot

58
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 1: of games up front they know to use the movement

59
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: and get after you. That's something to do very very well.

60
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: Right now they're leading the Liga, believe when they're stunning

61
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,079
Speaker 1: in terms of pressures on the quarterback and results. So

62
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:18,799
Speaker 1: that's something we have to be prepared for this week

63
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: in terms of how they use their front look in

64
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: the kicking game. UH known bones for a long time,

65
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 1: A lot of respect for this guy. When you talk

66
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: about bones, it's about being sound, communicating, you know, knowing

67
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,639
Speaker 1: how aggressive he's gonna call it. How talented they are

68
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: in the kicking game. They have a very good core.

69
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:35,959
Speaker 1: They have extremely talented specials. You tell about Anger and

70
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 1: the airline is do big leg kickers and punter who

71
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: can flip the field position, who can score from far

72
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 1: out field goals? And you talk about the guys with

73
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 1: the ball in their hand the return game, Pollard and

74
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb. Obviously these are two of their top offensive players.

75
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:48,639
Speaker 1: They're looking for more opportunities to get the ball in

76
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,359
Speaker 1: their hand right there and they can make explosive plays

77
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: at any point. You know, when all three ball on

78
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 1: all three sides of the ball. We gotta come prepared.

79
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: We have to have a good week of preparation that

80
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 1: starts today and we got to make sure we translated

81
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: over in sixty minutes on one day being set at

82
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 1: open at any questions, Joe has has digs on their

83
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: back end. Become a player where you have to identify

84
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: where he is, where they kind of playing him off to.

85
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 1: You know a side, I think you gotta know where

86
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: this guy is he's extremely aggressive. Um, he's been very productive.

87
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 1: You don't have the results that he's had by accident.

88
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,519
Speaker 1: This guy's obviously really taking a step forward as a

89
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 1: player this year. You know, learn from you know, some

90
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,399
Speaker 1: things in the past. But he's very, very aggressive. He's

91
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: got great ball skills. He's got great instincts on you know,

92
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: when to break on the ball, when to undercut the

93
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: receiver going across the mill. That interception you had, you

94
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: know against the Chargers, I mean that was that was

95
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 1: an outstanding play to play from behind catch up. This

96
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: guy's he's run away from his leverage to undercut him

97
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: and then lay out and make that interception. That just

98
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: shows you right there in terms of the instincts you're wearing.

99
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: Is playing within the scheme and just to play making Billy,

100
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: this guy has right there. Offense operated and you know

101
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: Sunday especially the fourth coring over time. Is that the

102
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: way you guys can function going forward, where being more

103
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: aggressive pushing the ball downfield. Yeah, Well, as far as

104
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 1: our OFFENSI approach, you know, really here it's the same

105
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 1: all three sides of the ball. You know, whatever it's

106
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 1: gonna take to win a match. Up with that opponent

107
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: and whatever the flow of the game dictates, that's how

108
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to play. Obviously, we made some plays,

109
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: you know, pushing that ball down the field the other day.

110
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: That was something we saw from their defense. We're able

111
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: to make plays on Danna did a good job getting

112
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: the ball out of the receiver's We did a good

113
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 1: job protecting up front to give us a time to

114
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 1: get the ball downfield. You actually don't call the plays,

115
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 1: but what is your role in kind of determining what

116
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: the offense is going to be, you know, big picture

117
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: in this week to week. Yeah, we talked through it continuously,

118
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: starting on Monday, going through Monday Tuesday. Today, we start

119
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,159
Speaker 1: the prep. It goes into the install of what's going

120
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 1: and it goes into what's being wrong on the field,

121
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: making sure that we're sunding everything we're doing, and then

122
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,279
Speaker 1: talking collectively in terms of what we're practicing. You know,

123
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: you always start out with more in practice and you

124
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: end up within the game. You gotta throw some things

125
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: against the wall sometimes and say, Okay, I wanted to

126
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:43,919
Speaker 1: make the final cut. Maybe we'll come back to that

127
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,039
Speaker 1: next week. It fits the scheme we're looking for it there,

128
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 1: and then within the game, you know, control the flow

129
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: of the game and how we're doing it, making sure

130
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 1: that we're playing what we planned or as things are

131
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,719
Speaker 1: being done the game that we adjust accordingly. You've talked

132
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 1: about using the early part of the season to kind

133
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 1: of figure out what you do, what your identity is

134
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 1: trying to when you look at your offense and what

135
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,279
Speaker 1: do you what do you view as the identity of

136
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 1: that group. I think the identity group right now is

137
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:07,840
Speaker 1: I think we're doing a good job protecting up front. Okay,

138
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 1: we're doing a good job getting the ball to playmakers

139
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 1: and space ln the make you know, plays with their legs.

140
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,359
Speaker 1: Right now, we've been able to be productive in some elements.

141
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:15,719
Speaker 1: That run game thing is something got to keep on

142
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: improving on, you know. In terms of the past game,

143
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 1: I like the way we're setting things up on early downs.

144
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: We become more ficient on some third downs right there,

145
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,599
Speaker 1: and we're executing better situationally. So in terms of our identity,

146
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 1: I like the way our guys are taking what's given

147
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: to him. Right now, we have to go out there

148
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: and force plays, go out and understand what's presented in

149
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: front of us, what's the defense, giving us what matchup

150
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:36,799
Speaker 1: can we create? You know, what zone or man matchup

151
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: works better for Uce and Dan was doing a good

152
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 1: job identifying that pre snapping decisions post now, Raff, how

153
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,719
Speaker 1: did you evaluate Michael Parsons as a player and why

154
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,840
Speaker 1: did you ultimately decide not to go in that direction. Well,

155
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: our decisions for our team was, you know, big picture

156
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:52,599
Speaker 1: with that was best for our team. Him as a player,

157
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: he's an elite player. This guy's explosive. I think the

158
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: one thing that I picked up on him. I went

159
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:58,599
Speaker 1: to the pro day at the Penn State and you

160
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: stand next him. He's a big man. That's the one

161
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 1: thing I told the team tast said, you know, this

162
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 1: guy on tape sometimes doesn't look as big as he is.

163
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 1: He's a big guy. He's strong, and he's explosive. He

164
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 1: watched this guy play. He's very athletic. He has really

165
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 1: really good instincts, you know, obviously to use him on

166
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: the edges and pastor stuff. He's got the green guys

167
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,039
Speaker 1: playing the stack right now, makes plays in both spots

168
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,159
Speaker 1: right there. This is a guy that coming out, you know,

169
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 1: looking at his college tape, he actually had a lot

170
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 1: of production on the edge that we looked at him

171
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 1: and talk collectively about, Hey, this guy really gives you

172
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,280
Speaker 1: dual value stack back or to edge back, or you

173
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 1: can cover. He can blitz and do a lot of things.

174
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: I think this guy is gonna be one of the

175
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: elite players in the league for a long time. Um

176
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: Our decision had nothing to do with his impact as

177
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:37,280
Speaker 1: a player. We just made best decision for the team. COCUSINGO.

178
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 1: You know, trust the process, and you know this is

179
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 1: a gradual thing. And but this is a game against

180
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 1: the division arrival. And if you win this game, all

181
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 1: of a sudden, this this race, you know, looks different,

182
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 1: a lot different than it did only a couple of

183
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: weeks ago. Are you mindful of that? You know, this

184
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 1: race goes the entire length of seventeen weeks. So we're

185
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:56,280
Speaker 1: gonna make sure that every week we could did is

186
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 1: taking a step forward. I want to be consistent how

187
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: we prepare and make sure we're a better team each week.

188
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: That's our focus. All the big picture stuff that'll take

189
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 1: care of itself. Well, we can take care of how

190
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,679
Speaker 1: we prepare today. On early downs, on third down tomorrow,

191
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 1: we'll show up and work about you know, early on

192
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 1: third down, some of the red area. That's our focus

193
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 1: right there. We're gonna keep it small and keep it focused. Um,

194
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: New York experience. Um, we're a young player who's not

195
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 1: really proven. Let's safe Daniel in this case, when they

196
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: win a national award, a player of the week kind

197
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 1: of thing. Um, can that help a player? Um, his psyche,

198
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: his confidence, things like that. Outside influences helping. Yeah, I

199
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 1: don't think we need outside confirmation to tell us what

200
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 1: we're doing. And that's kind of you know, as a team,

201
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,239
Speaker 1: when someone gets an award like that, that's a team award.

202
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 1: You know, anytime a quarterback gets an award, that starts

203
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 1: with the protection. That starts with the skill players, you know,

204
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 1: to make plays with the ball in their hand. You know,

205
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 1: it starts with the defense and to kick the game,

206
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 1: giving field position opportunities to get the ball back and

207
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 1: make plays. And obviously what he's done is he's capitalizing

208
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 1: on the opportunities. And that's what we pre solve our players.

209
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 1: You know, you can't force the opportunity comes your way,

210
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 1: but you have to handle it the right way when

211
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 1: it does. He obviously has done that. He's put our

212
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 1: team position to have success. I see him improving every

213
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 1: day in terms of just national awards, you know, improving

214
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 1: someone psyche like man. I've seen this guy with a

215
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 1: lot of storms already. Okay, in our short time together,

216
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: I've seen weather a lot of storms. So in terms

217
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 1: of anything on the outside influence him. If he's gonna

218
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: go ahead and have this make him, you know, feel good,

219
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 1: what's gonna be when it crashes down the other way?

220
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 1: This guy does a good job just making sure he

221
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 1: stays focused on what the task at hand is. Move

222
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 1: forward every week it can healthfully. You can't feel good though,

223
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 1: right the players allowed to feel good about getting something,

224
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 1: you know, I mean the human nature. I'm saying, you know,

225
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 1: you getting the word, Oh great, you know, I'm not

226
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 1: saying it's life changing, But can you feel good about it? Yeah?

227
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 1: Absolutely enjoy it. Can it affect how you work, prepare

228
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 1: or performed this week? Absolutely not, Joe. When you look

229
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 1: at Lamb and Cooper, some teams have one really good receiver,

230
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: but they have to so how much of a challenge

231
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 1: is that? And then also like schematically, um, what do

232
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 1: you notice about how they're using them and what sort

233
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 1: of challenges they post? Scheme was well, I'd say, first off,

234
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 1: just talking about the skill players are and you can

235
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:58,079
Speaker 1: even go, you know beyond those two mc gallups obviously

236
00:08:58,120 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 1: injured right now, I don't know where he's gonna be exactly.

237
00:08:59,920 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 1: The sweet um. You know, Schultz is really doing a

238
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 1: good job tight end position, you know, the two backs

239
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 1: and these guys. So it's all across the board in

240
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 1: terms of schematically, what they're doing a really good job

241
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 1: of right now with all their guys is that they're

242
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 1: finding creative ways within their base plays of dressing it

243
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:14,839
Speaker 1: up and getting the ball out. So every time the

244
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 1: ball hits Dax's hand it looks the same way. The

245
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 1: other thing they're doing is you watch a lot of tape,

246
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: there's obviously a lot of thought put into how they're

247
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 1: using eighty eight lamb. You know, whether he's in the backfield,

248
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 1: you know, on the short yard of stuff or breaking

249
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 1: huddle Faskett and lined up using as a running back.

250
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 1: You see him in the Tampa game that kind of

251
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 1: bluff that quick screen of the side and you kind

252
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 1: of bluff and goes. So these are obviously things they

253
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 1: put a lot of thought into in terms of the

254
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 1: game plant preparation, how do we get him involved? How

255
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 1: do we create explosive plays with C? D. Lamb And

256
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 1: I'd say this, this guy is extremely talented. Um ball

257
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 1: in his hand, I don't care if it's punt return,

258
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: handoff or seeing whatever it is, Like, this guy is

259
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 1: a weapon every time he touched it, whether it's a

260
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 1: lot of storms. Can you share example, what you consider

261
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 1: a storm that he's weathered. I'm not gonna go into

262
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 1: specific details, but like, look, this kid is pretty mentally tough.

263
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 1: So in terms of you know, handling, you know, any

264
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 1: outside influence positive negative, seen this guy already, just go ahead,

265
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 1: come in and be unphased, unaffected, and make sure he

266
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 1: influences a team in the right way internally. Would you

267
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 1: tell you a team that's aggressive, especially Dallas on defense,

268
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 1: how much can you use that against them? I think

269
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 1: every team tries to play aggressive. Um I think there's

270
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 1: different ways you could kind of pose and say what

271
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:20,560
Speaker 1: match up when we get a certain player, how do

272
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 1: they play? Can we find something to use them? I

273
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:24,559
Speaker 1: think it still comes back to the base fundamental. So

274
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:26,200
Speaker 1: if you can scheme everything up to say we have

275
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:29,079
Speaker 1: to isolate this one guy in this one specific coverage

276
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 1: or how they're gonna play something, but then you got

277
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 1: to go back to the whole you know, soundboard. If

278
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: they look, it's the protection up front, it's how we

279
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 1: get the guys out. If they take that away, still

280
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 1: in that guy, what's the rest of the pad and

281
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 1: the quick lest wrest of the run? Look like make sure?

282
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 1: So can you try to find a way to scheme

283
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 1: guys up? Yeah, we all do that every week. Can

284
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 1: you rely solely on that one scheme up or that

285
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 1: one play? Absolutely not the high stunt percentage. This could

286
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:54,079
Speaker 1: be potentially, at least from what we see that you

287
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 1: have your entire offensive line play back to back weeks.

288
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 1: Advantage for you guys to have that and not having

289
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 1: to be moving guys around. I know you you have

290
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 1: confidence in all the guys, but starting the same five

291
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 1: this week, presumably that would be better than not sunny.

292
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 1: I mean, look, it's always nice to have some continuity

293
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 1: with the guys that the game at the guys of

294
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: the game. You know, last few weeks had new guys

295
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: coming in every week as far as getting you know,

296
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,199
Speaker 1: acclimate to our systems on the same language and they're

297
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: trying getting ready for a game at the same time,

298
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:24,679
Speaker 1: that's a challenge, but West has done a good job

299
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 1: of that. You know, Ben did that early in the season,

300
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 1: Scurt did that early in the season. As far as

301
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 1: getting ready, you know, Jonathan Harrison coming back last few

302
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 1: weeks getting ready. You know, I'd say in terms of

303
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 1: just you know, an advantage on it, the band just

304
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:37,559
Speaker 1: gonna go to her performs better on Sunday. So we

305
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: got do a good job preparing for these guys and

306
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 1: account for everything they can do and things we've seen

307
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 1: from other games as well. They're gonna show up in

308
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 1: this game. Joe, you had he had a different speed

309
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 1: element at receiver. With Ross and with Cadarius playing as

310
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 1: much as he did. I'm wondering, if you saw on

311
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 1: tape looking back or if you expect going forward, does

312
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 1: that help clear the box and give se Kwan more

313
00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 1: space when safeties have to be really worried about Ross

314
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,680
Speaker 1: and Tony going deep. Yeah, I say, just a general

315
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,320
Speaker 1: football answer to that is, yeah, if you've got speed

316
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 1: that can take the top off, you know, they've got

317
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 1: to decide how they want to cover you. Do they

318
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: trust their guy to lock up man the entire game,

319
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: the entire field. They have to have safety help over

320
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,319
Speaker 1: the top is a one safety two safeties. You know,

321
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 1: based on however they see you, guys as a threatened

322
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: situation of it doesn't help you as far as you know,

323
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 1: kind of lightning up the box. It can, it can.

324
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:23,559
Speaker 1: Some teams have just turned around, tell the corners have

325
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 1: a nice staying we're gonna load the box anyway. So

326
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 1: we'll see how they approach it. Um. On Sunday night,

327
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick went into the Bucks locker room to talk

328
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,199
Speaker 1: to Tom for like twenty minutes. I'm into the game.

329
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:36,559
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people view that is out

330
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 1: of character for him. You know, what did you make

331
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 1: What do you make of that? I think when you

332
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 1: know the guy, I don't think you see anything like

333
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:45,439
Speaker 1: that is out of character. So there's a lot of

334
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 1: things you see kind of publicly guys, and a lot

335
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 1: of things you kind of see privately. Um. I've worked

336
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 1: for a lot of guys who has made public perception

337
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 1: doesn't come off great, um, But privately, you know them

338
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:58,079
Speaker 1: are some of the best human beings ever met. Anything

339
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 1: on Sterling and Dariusue effect to see the thin We'll

340
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 1: see him moving around a little bit today. We'll see

341
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,559
Speaker 1: where they're at um. I know both guys are kind

342
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:07,560
Speaker 1: of pushing to get back, you know, as fast as

343
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:08,959
Speaker 1: they can. But we'll have to see him today and

344
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 1: then really Jordan WANs to see him tomorrow when the

345
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 1: pace comes up a little bit of practice. You expect

346
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,199
Speaker 1: them to be in practice in some degree the next

347
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 1: few days. Mo optimistic, Yeah, chip U awarding the same thing.
