1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:02,680
Speaker 1: Command this family. This is the game plan. We sit

2
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:04,680
Speaker 1: down with head coach Dan Quinn and talk about this

3
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 1: exciting matchup with the Tennessee Titians.

4
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 2: Then Brian and I talk impact players in this Tennessee game.

5
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:11,559
Speaker 1: Then we sit down and talk about the must watch

6
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 1: matchups so we can get this w over the Tennessee Titans.

7
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 1: All that more on the game plan. Welcome in head

8
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 1: coach Dan Quinn into the game play coach, good to

9
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 1: see you. Now we dropped a few games, soever we

10
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:32,159
Speaker 1: have a chance to get back into a wind callum

11
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:34,519
Speaker 1: today against the Tennessee Titians. What has been your message

12
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:35,919
Speaker 1: this week to the team.

13
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:38,960
Speaker 3: Man, it's been It's an awesome week because when you

14
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 3: get challenged and you have a culture, and that's when

15
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 3: it gets really fulfilled, not during the times that is

16
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 3: going smooth, like how we live it, it's how we

17
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 3: speak it, it's how we do all of that together.

18
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 3: And so I'm actually pretty fired up about it, and

19
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 3: I want to make sure that identity that we want

20
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 3: is able to be fully expressed today about how hard

21
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 3: we play the finish and if we do those things right,

22
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 3: you know, the score will take care of itself.

23
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 2: And something else that I think is interesting is like,

24
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 2: you know, how have the guys kind of handled it?

25
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 2: You know, because you're such a good harbinger of culture

26
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 2: and identity, how have the guys handled kind of a

27
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 2: little bit of this adversity and then embracing what you're bringing?

28
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 3: I think number one, Like for us, it starts with

29
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 3: the truth. You got to be able to live it.

30
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 3: You got to be able to tell it, and you've

31
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 3: got to be able to receive it. And as a

32
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:29,479
Speaker 3: ballplayer or as a coach, the execution and the winning,

33
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 3: it's on everybody. It's not they didn't do that or

34
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 3: this tide like, that's not how we roll. So the

35
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 3: way we get down like we are all in this together,

36
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 3: responsibility is for everybody, and so start off the whole

37
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 3: week by tell the truth Monday, and that's where we

38
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 3: begin it. And then make sure these are the things

39
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:46,960
Speaker 3: we got to do together for us to go. We

40
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 3: got a lot more in us and it's up to

41
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 3: all of us to pull it out.

42
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 2: And I think that's something that's very unique and somewhat

43
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 2: special about coaches who can take that responsibility. Like where

44
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 2: does that come from?

45
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 4: For you?

46
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 3: I've always loved you know, the part of the game

47
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 3: where how do you get better? How do you dig

48
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 3: in and get further. I think the teams that you

49
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 3: have to go up and down a little bit, go

50
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:10,799
Speaker 3: through the adversity. You don't want to say you have

51
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 3: to learn how to lose it. You have to know

52
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 3: how not to and by losing some you have to

53
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 3: go through that space to go And it's not just

54
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 3: enough logan to learn the lessons, you have to apply them.

55
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 3: You apply them into the game. And you got to

56
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 3: make sure your identity and all that brings us us

57
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 3: gets to be you know, fully expressed in the way

58
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 3: that we play. And so I'd love that it all

59
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 3: went up, you know, but we're only three months in

60
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 3: and nothing's been decided yet. And so that's why I

61
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 3: love our team, what we stand for, and we can't

62
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:41,399
Speaker 3: get wait to get back out there.

63
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: And Colt, you're you know, strange it to all the

64
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 1: noise that comes within an NFL season, But some of

65
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 1: these young guys have not dealt with this yet. How

66
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: have you kept them locked in?

67
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 3: You know, it's interesting we talked to the rookies earlier

68
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 3: because you know, this is you know, about fifteen games

69
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 3: or so in a row for all the guys that

70
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 3: have played in the preseason, so it's the longest they've

71
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 3: ever gone without taking a break. And sometimes it's a bigger,

72
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 3: bigger hurdle mentally than it actually is physically. And the

73
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,679
Speaker 3: whole process of going through the postseason, the draft and

74
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 3: where money to go takes an emotional toll getting here

75
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 3: in training camp and in season. So there's a lot

76
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 3: left in that reserve tank, and most of the time

77
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 3: it's the other guys on the team and you're gonna

78
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 3: be just fine. And I can remember my rookie year

79
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 3: getting about Thanksgiving as a coaching I'm gonna die and

80
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 3: you just kind of work it through, and but you

81
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 3: know that part is coming for them, and so I

82
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 3: wanted to make sure they knew that and could see

83
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 3: that in one another, and how.

84
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 4: Do we help them help them through that spot.

85
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 3: But they'll come out stronger on the other end of

86
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 3: this game, knowing they'll have some time to reset and

87
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 3: this is the last buy. So I told them the

88
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 3: advantages there's another rookie class that'll have be as fresh

89
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 3: at the end of the season as you guys will do.

90
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,839
Speaker 2: I mean, I think that's some people don't understand fans specifically,

91
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 2: Like it's at the end of all, like college is

92
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 2: a completely different animal. But it's so hard each and

93
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 2: every week to get up for the game. It's got

94
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 2: it because you're going for one hundred, you know, eighteen times,

95
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 2: sixteen times, seventeen times in a row.

96
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 4: Like how do you?

97
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 2: How do you? What's your process to get yourself there

98
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 2: each and every week?

99
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 3: You want to make sure that the week can feel

100
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,279
Speaker 3: the same to you. So what do you do on

101
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 3: a Monday? What do you doing on a Wednesday?

102
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 4: And a Thursday and a Friday?

103
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 3: And as the end of the week comes, it really

104
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 3: doesn't have anything more with the team anymore.

105
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 4: You know, you've done the preparation.

106
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 3: It's in the computer, you know the information that now

107
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 3: it has to be getting yourself ripped up to say

108
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:34,919
Speaker 3: this is how we play and this and that. And

109
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 3: so that's what I do love about our team. The

110
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 3: fight they're in it, you know, not going back out

111
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 3: of anything. And so that's why all these close games

112
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 3: they'll carry over. There is carryover to these close fights,

113
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 3: and it will pay dividends for us. And going through

114
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 3: them is hard, and all the wins and losses they're

115
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 3: all like you learn a lot from them.

116
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 4: They're all equally important.

117
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:02,479
Speaker 3: They're not equally enjoyable, but they're equally important because you

118
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 3: have to apply what you learned into the next game,

119
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 3: the next moment that comes up. And not every moment

120
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 3: comes up in every game. You know, this is a

121
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,559
Speaker 3: four minute, this is two minutes, this is overtime, whatever

122
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 3: that is.

123
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 4: You just get ready for it.

124
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:17,919
Speaker 1: And coach, looking at this office, you talk about it

125
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 1: gets hard, right, Well, this is a working quarterback in

126
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,599
Speaker 1: jad and Daniels, and he has looked great this season

127
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 1: to say the least, but he's dealt with a little

128
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,359
Speaker 1: bit of adversity these last few games. What if you

129
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: see from him dealing with that adversity and how have

130
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 1: you helps him get through that adversity.

131
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, number one, see it in the practice. You know,

132
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 3: full speed running, timing and throwing, and so seeing him

133
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 3: get outside the pocket and make some plays with his legs.

134
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 3: That's what makes Jaden special. Duel threat, have the right

135
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 3: blitz on he beats him, has the right coverage on,

136
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:47,919
Speaker 3: he can go to them, and so the more we

137
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,840
Speaker 3: can get him into remaining a passer. Now there's the

138
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 3: whole other factor where they want to stop him as

139
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,359
Speaker 3: the runner and you rip it down the field, and

140
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,280
Speaker 3: so getting back into all that that's a big deal.

141
00:05:58,200 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 4: And that's what we're going to continue to work really

142
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 4: hard at.

143
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 2: I think a lot of fans don't understand kind of

144
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 2: late season practice and how that changes, and like, how

145
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,160
Speaker 2: have you guys kind of structured that to make sure

146
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:08,840
Speaker 2: that he's still getting what he needs out appropri.

147
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 3: You may trim some periods down, but you want the

148
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 3: speed logan. You know that the importance of touching the

149
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 3: gas each week, so you stay your timing's ready. This

150
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 3: overroute has to be this specific way, and it's all

151
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,919
Speaker 3: really important. So you may trim some parts down, but

152
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 3: the further along you go in the season, you just

153
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 3: become more efficient. This one, this one, this one to

154
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 3: this one. You may only be out there sixty minutes,

155
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 3: but you may have gotten in more than you used

156
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,480
Speaker 3: to at seventy seventy five minutes, just because the team

157
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:39,479
Speaker 3: is humming and going and they're out of the huddle,

158
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 3: they're on the line, they can get two things more quickly.

159
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 3: So it may not be as long, but it definitely

160
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 3: needs to be as fast.

161
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:47,719
Speaker 1: And coach, we look at the offensive line. Another tough

162
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 1: test taking on the Tennessee Titans. What do you expect

163
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 1: from them today?

164
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Tennessee Titans provide a really good challenge overall. Defensively,

165
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 3: they've really played well their third downs. They're aggressive at

166
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:02,720
Speaker 3: the line of scrimmage. So knowing that package, they've really

167
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:06,039
Speaker 3: come together quickly defensively, And for them, it definitely starts

168
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 3: up front. They've got aggressive players they can rush, so

169
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 3: it'll take a whole balance for us. Like and Logan's

170
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 3: heard this, it takes all eleven to run the ball.

171
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 3: It's the quarterback Cary and the play fake, it's the

172
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 3: receiver blocking, it's the tight end on the backside. So

173
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 3: all the guys will have a really important role in this.

174
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 2: They got a guy it's kind of special, two special players,

175
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 2: Sweat and Simmons Sums at that three technique and to

176
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 2: kind of bounce in between. Can you talk about, because

177
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 2: you are defensive defensive coach kind of at heart, why

178
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 2: having that guy at that three technique can present so

179
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 2: many different challenges.

180
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, for the listeners, you can see a defensive end

181
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 3: outside and there's lots of ways to help on that

182
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 3: player in a block and you've seen running teams a

183
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 3: running back or a tight end may you know we

184
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 3: call it chip or you're getting in the way. So

185
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 3: he didn't have a free access. It's much more difficult

186
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 3: to do inside. And so for a defensive tackle, like

187
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 3: the running back can't be in the B gap those

188
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 3: other things that are happening there, and so knowing that

189
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 3: that's more difficult, that's what makes a player unique because

190
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 3: now they're in spots where even if they want to

191
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 3: slide somebody to them, there's ways that they can still

192
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 3: get their one on one. And that's those guys they

193
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 3: can really affect the game and.

194
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 1: Coach another still a game about one seven Terry McLaurin.

195
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 1: Now you have a lot of chances to have to

196
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 1: scheme against the Terry mclaorn. What has been like coaching

197
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: a guy like that and how important is he for

198
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: this team?

199
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 3: You you better never relax, you know, like taking your

200
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 3: kids to the pool man you've never left unattended, Like

201
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 3: this guy can go fifty nine minutes and fifty seconds.

202
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 3: But the one time that you think you're okay, you

203
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 3: know he is going to make you pay. I love

204
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 3: you know his ability on the deep ball.

205
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 4: That to me is what makes him unique where he

206
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:52,199
Speaker 4: can make.

207
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 3: Explosive plays, the tracking, the deep ball, the finishing of plays,

208
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 3: that's what really separates me.

209
00:08:58,120 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 4: But I love the competitor that he is, honestly.

210
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 2: But I'm also sure that like having a guy with

211
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 2: his level of experience and the competitor is important for

212
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 2: this kind of late season push. Yes, like that leadership

213
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 2: for the young guys, young receivers, all this stuff. Can

214
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 2: you talk about that a little bit?

215
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a really unique core group of guys you

216
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 3: talk about like the efficiency of a zach Ertz and

217
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 3: like kind of the dog mentality of Noah Brown and

218
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 3: Terry and what they can bring. And so there's unique

219
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 3: things that they're able to offer their teammates, whether it

220
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,559
Speaker 3: be a practice skill or communication to the quarterback.

221
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 4: I will be here.

222
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 3: I saw it with Zone, this is where I'll be

223
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 3: And so having that type of detail is really important.

224
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 3: So who better you know to learn from from guys

225
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 3: like that that know what excellent can look like And

226
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 3: how do I know able to share that with the guys.

227
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 1: And for a defense that we be going up against

228
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 1: a quarterback and Will Levice who can bust out an

229
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 1: explosive play. What has been your mindset going against a

230
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 1: quarterback like this and what the challenges as he calls

231
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 1: for defense.

232
00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:00,200
Speaker 3: He's a strong player and he can extend play with

233
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 3: his legs. He can get outside the pocket. In this system,

234
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 3: they do have the ability to get outside, you know,

235
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 3: to run keepers and play passes that go with it.

236
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 3: And so for a player he's got as strong as

237
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 3: arm as him, you know, a hard run fake and

238
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 3: then being able to deliver the ball down the field

239
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 3: to a guy like Calvin Ridley who can stop and

240
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 3: start and has explosive plays with him. That's where you know,

241
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 3: a quarterback like Levis has had already some very long passes.

242
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 4: It's off of the run action. Yeah.

243
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:29,959
Speaker 2: I remember the first time I saw Patrick Mahomes play it.

244
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 4: I'm not comparing.

245
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 2: We'll love a spectry Mahomes, but he has this powerful

246
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,320
Speaker 2: arm and it has made the field feel so huge.

247
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 4: Yeah.

248
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:38,680
Speaker 2: Can you talk about that arm strength and kind of

249
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 2: how that changes the dynamic that defensive coach.

250
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 3: It does because you're never on top enough. Yeah, right,

251
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 3: you know there's well, yes, he would still throw at

252
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,319
Speaker 3: that bag and so those are things that you want

253
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,679
Speaker 3: to you know, stay alive for or when the second

254
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 3: play begins and he scrambles outside the pocket, that he

255
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 3: could throw it across the field.

256
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,120
Speaker 4: He could throw it down the field. And so is

257
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 4: a very strong arm quarterback.

258
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 1: And somebody you're very familiar with, Tony Pollard, will be

259
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 1: facing him. What challenge is does a running back like

260
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 1: that post a defense.

261
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 3: Tony is really a dual threat running back where he

262
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 3: can be in a slot, he could be you know,

263
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 3: out of the backfield. So think of Austin in a

264
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 3: lot of ways that we've used him out of the

265
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,679
Speaker 3: backfield in terms of catching the ball and getting extended

266
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 3: down the field. One of the things I always admire

267
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 3: about Tony was so smooth. He could set up somebody

268
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 3: and then aggressively break them off and spin, you know,

269
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 3: try to way to break leverage. And so in the

270
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 3: open field with space, that's where I always felt in practice,

271
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:38,560
Speaker 3: you know, Tony was the most difficult to guard.

272
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:39,079
Speaker 4: Yeah.

273
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 2: Absolutely, I mean he's a special football player for sure.

274
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 2: And I think the other thing that's interesting is watching

275
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 2: you know, Bill Callahan's imprint on the offensive line just

276
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 2: in terms of the volume of runs that they have. Yes,

277
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:51,559
Speaker 2: they got traps, they got way it was pin pools

278
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 2: outside zone. How do you kind of make sure you

279
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 2: got all the eyes dotted or what is it? Teas

280
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 2: crossed the.

281
00:11:57,559 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 4: I know exactly what you're saying.

282
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 3: You're right because Bill's influence is very strong in the

283
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 3: one game and so what have you been heard on?

284
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 4: He's going to try to tack you there first? What

285
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 4: do they do best?

286
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 3: Those are going to be some things to go so

287
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,959
Speaker 3: for us to make sure that you better have the

288
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 3: edges set for runners that have this type of bounce

289
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 3: out ability and inside you better do a really good

290
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 3: job tackling, you know, to make sure you know if

291
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 3: they can hit a gap scheme, you've got to be

292
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 3: at the right spot and you've got to make sure

293
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 3: you can go and tackle.

294
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 1: And our defense seems to have improved each and every week.

295
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 1: Our defensive coordinator, Joe wit Junior, I don't think we

296
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:34,080
Speaker 1: talk enough about him. Can you show him some love

297
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:35,439
Speaker 1: a little bit? And what he's been able to do

298
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 1: with this defense that has made him so successful.

299
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, Joe is a really committed teacher, and I think

300
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:42,959
Speaker 3: that's one of the highest compliments that you can give

301
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 3: a coach.

302
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 4: Almost any time you hear the word coach.

303
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 3: You could probably put the word teacher in if they're

304
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,719
Speaker 3: really nailing it, because that's such such a big part

305
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 3: of what we do.

306
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:52,559
Speaker 4: And so the specifics of.

307
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 3: You know, a design of a coverage of what it's

308
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 3: supposed to look like pre snap to what it can

309
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 3: look like after the snap, to make the quarter back

310
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 3: have to decide what it is after he gets the

311
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 3: ball in his hands. And so he's detailed, he's accountable,

312
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 3: he's thoughtful about, you know, when to do the right

313
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 3: things blitz back off play coverage, and so I really

314
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:14,439
Speaker 3: like that Joe's hitting his stride and the guys are too.

315
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 2: And it's also so interesting watching Joe Wood Junior and

316
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 2: just defense in general because it's such a reactive yes thing,

317
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, and thinking about, hey, this

318
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 2: is cover three, but I got to have it fit

319
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,840
Speaker 2: versus three by one versus four by one versus you

320
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:29,679
Speaker 2: talk about that process and how you kind of make

321
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 2: sure that you've got all your bases covered, you know,

322
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 2: versus something that's so reacting.

323
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, in my next life, I'm definitely coming back as

324
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 3: you made a mistake, there's no question, But you do

325
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 3: have to have rules and principles, And there are certain

326
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 3: routes with switch releases and certain plays that you just

327
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 3: think of the play that Terry had in the game,

328
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 3: you know last week, where there's a different combination of

329
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 3: a receiver coming out and he can get behind someone else.

330
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 3: So those are the nuances that go into different coverages.

331
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:02,719
Speaker 3: And so some coverages have weaknesses and strengths, well not

332
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 3: some all, and how do you play into those strengths. Okay,

333
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 3: that's a tough route against that coverage, but it'd be

334
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 3: very good against here. So that's why the disguise is

335
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 3: so important.

336
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 1: Logan, what's talking impact players. Let's start with number sixty three,

337
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 1: Tyler Biadis.

338
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 2: He's got a huge, huge, huge matchup this week because

339
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 2: he's got sweat on the interior. Is a huge defensive

340
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 2: tackle rookie out of Texas who's playing really good football.

341
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 2: And Simmons also ends up in the notes, so probably

342
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 2: two of their best defensive players will be in in

343
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 2: locking horns with them all day. And then on top

344
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 2: of that, he's got the intellectual problem of kind of

345
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 2: dealing with a very complicated blit scheme he's gonna have

346
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 2: to target that he's shown all season he can handle

347
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 2: whoever you put in front of him. You know, going

348
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 2: to totoe with Dex Lawrence, these guys will be Keith

349
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 2: piece of cake. But also the mental aspect getting those

350
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 2: protections targeted. Big, big, big week for.

351
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 1: Him and one guy that seems to impact the field

352
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 1: on every level, Number eleven Jeremy San Yeah.

353
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 2: So one of the things that they do is such

354
00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 2: a great job is they run the football at a

355
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 2: very really high level, and he's been in terms of

356
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 2: stepping up fitting runs and then also covering tight ends.

357
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 2: They've got a lot of explosive plays from their tight ends.

358
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 2: He's done a great job in those matchups. So big

359
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 2: week this week is he's going to be kind of

360
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 2: in between coverage, run defense. How do you handle those

361
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 2: complicated looks. Can't wait to watch him play football.

362
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 1: And like your boy friends, Ston says, the big guys

363
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 1: of Snow.

364
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, these guys got a really unique matchup this week,

365
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 2: not because of the guys they're playing against, but because

366
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 2: of the scheme bo Bill Callahan and the offensive line

367
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 2: coach brings a really wide array of different types of

368
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 2: runs traps in wams which have hurt these guys this

369
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 2: year because they're such penetrators, right, So can they be

370
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 2: locked in with the different techniques? Can they find ways

371
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 2: again to kind of put themselves in the best positions

372
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 2: to be successful versus the traps, the whams, versus the

373
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 2: bounces and perimeter runs. You see a lot of defensive

374
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 2: tackles making a ton of plays for them so on

375
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 2: those types of runs. So, really, these guys need to

376
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 2: have a huge game.

377
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 1: When you're a quarterback like Will Levis, who do not

378
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 1: want to see any of these three guys, And when

379
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 1: you're a defensive lineman, you definitely do not want to

380
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 1: see Tyler Beyond is great and Pact clay is logan

381
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 1: command is fany your ticket to a win? Are these

382
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 1: must watch masters? Let's get Ryan to it. Tennessee's offensive

383
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 1: line versus our dynamic pass rush.

384
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, I think this is gonna be a huge

385
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 2: matchup because one thing about Will Levis is he does

386
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 2: hold the football quite a bit. And while this offensive

387
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 2: line is good, they're very young, they're developing, they do

388
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 2: give up a lot of sacks, and I think that

389
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 2: coincides with Will Levis. So can we play good coverage

390
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 2: in the back end, and can we take advantage of

391
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 2: some young players, specifically.

392
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 4: At the right tackle.

393
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 2: They've had a lot of different players in their young players,

394
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 2: guys not a lot of experience, not a lot of

395
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 2: playing experience in the NFL. Can Frankie Luvu Ken Fowler

396
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 2: take advantage of that matchup? I think so. And again

397
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 2: he's going to give you an opportunity. Unlike Dallas where

398
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 2: they're getting the ball out so quick, these guys hold

399
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 2: the ball for these deep shot plays. Let's get some

400
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 2: sacks and logan.

401
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 1: You mentioned Will Levis as if you know he's the

402
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 1: next one up. Oh my god, Donald Levis is explosive

403
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 1: playability versus Joe Witt Junior's mind.

404
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, again, Will Levis is all over the place. He's

405
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 2: a little bit of like a wild horse. But the

406
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 2: one thing he does have is he can throw the

407
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 2: football down the field explosively. Right, So when I look

408
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 2: at this, I'm saying that presents a really unique problem

409
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 2: for Joe Woo Junior and coach talked about it. Right,

410
00:16:57,960 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 2: when you've got a quarterback with a big arm, you

411
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 2: got to make sure you're deeper than the deepest you're

412
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 2: ready for that second reaction play. I think that's what

413
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 2: he's got to kind of earn his money this week.

414
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 2: Is they run the ball? Okay, can we put the

415
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 2: ball in his hands? And then when we do put

416
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 2: in his hands, can we limit that explosive opportunity because

417
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 2: that's how they score points?

418
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 1: And Will Levis ten touchhuns on the season, but nine

419
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 1: interceptions and last but not least, defensive coordinator worse Jaden Daniels.

420
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, this one I think is really interesting because this guy,

421
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,879
Speaker 2: Dinard Wilson, does a really good job in terms of

422
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 2: these zone pressures that are a little bit confusing. Looks

423
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 2: like that all these guys are blitzing and unlike man

424
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:33,639
Speaker 2: pressures where you can really identify the coverage at pre snap,

425
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 2: they're going to drop in his zones, dropping a cover two,

426
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 2: dropping a cover three, dropping a quarters and what is

427
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 2: this guy's processing ability like? And he's done a great

428
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,440
Speaker 2: job of that all year. But I think that's something

429
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 2: that we really got to keep an eye on. Is

430
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 2: that matchup these kind of unique blitz looks and how

431
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 2: this guy handles.

432
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 1: Them command his family. That is your must watch matchups

433
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,120
Speaker 1: for today's game. We hope you had an amazing things

434
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:55,360
Speaker 1: given for head coach Dan Quinn, Logan Paulsen, and Brian

435
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,920
Speaker 1: Cole r. This is the game plan. See y'all next

436
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 1: Sunday Commander's family. You could catch us every Sunday on

437
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 1: WSA nine Sunday mornings before year games. This is game

438
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,159
Speaker 1: planning with Brian Cope, Junior, Logan Paulson, that coach Dan

439
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:11,440
Speaker 1: Quinn until next Sunday Commanders family were out h
