WEBVTT - Embracing Adversity | HC Dan Quinn Previews Titans Vs. Commanders | The Gameplan | Washington Commanders 0:00:00.400 --> 0:00:02.680 Command this family. This is the game plan. We sit 0:00:02.800 --> 0:00:04.680 down with head coach Dan Quinn and talk about this 0:00:04.720 --> 0:00:06.600 exciting matchup with the Tennessee Titians. 0:00:06.680 --> 0:00:09.280 Then Brian and I talk impact players in this Tennessee game. 0:00:09.520 --> 0:00:11.559 Then we sit down and talk about the must watch 0:00:11.600 --> 0:00:14.920 matchups so we can get this w over the Tennessee Titans. 0:00:14.960 --> 0:00:26.400 All that more on the game plan. Welcome in head 0:00:26.400 --> 0:00:28.440 coach Dan Quinn into the game play coach, good to 0:00:28.440 --> 0:00:30.280 see you. Now we dropped a few games, soever we 0:00:30.320 --> 0:00:32.159 have a chance to get back into a wind callum 0:00:32.280 --> 0:00:34.519 today against the Tennessee Titians. What has been your message 0:00:34.520 --> 0:00:35.919 this week to the team. 0:00:35.960 --> 0:00:38.960 Man, it's been It's an awesome week because when you 0:00:39.000 --> 0:00:43.120 get challenged and you have a culture, and that's when 0:00:43.159 --> 0:00:46.040 it gets really fulfilled, not during the times that is 0:00:46.360 --> 0:00:48.800 going smooth, like how we live it, it's how we 0:00:48.840 --> 0:00:51.440 speak it, it's how we do all of that together. 0:00:51.479 --> 0:00:53.600 And so I'm actually pretty fired up about it, and 0:00:53.760 --> 0:00:56.200 I want to make sure that identity that we want 0:00:56.720 --> 0:00:59.040 is able to be fully expressed today about how hard 0:00:59.080 --> 0:01:02.040 we play the finish and if we do those things right, 0:01:02.120 --> 0:01:03.920 you know, the score will take care of itself. 0:01:03.880 --> 0:01:05.920 And something else that I think is interesting is like, 0:01:06.120 --> 0:01:08.560 you know, how have the guys kind of handled it? 0:01:08.600 --> 0:01:11.240 You know, because you're such a good harbinger of culture 0:01:11.280 --> 0:01:13.720 and identity, how have the guys handled kind of a 0:01:13.760 --> 0:01:16.600 little bit of this adversity and then embracing what you're bringing? 0:01:16.880 --> 0:01:19.240 I think number one, Like for us, it starts with 0:01:19.319 --> 0:01:21.240 the truth. You got to be able to live it. 0:01:21.520 --> 0:01:22.800 You got to be able to tell it, and you've 0:01:22.800 --> 0:01:25.360 got to be able to receive it. And as a 0:01:25.400 --> 0:01:29.479 ballplayer or as a coach, the execution and the winning, 0:01:29.520 --> 0:01:32.360 it's on everybody. It's not they didn't do that or 0:01:32.400 --> 0:01:34.520 this tide like, that's not how we roll. So the 0:01:34.560 --> 0:01:36.760 way we get down like we are all in this together, 0:01:36.880 --> 0:01:40.120 responsibility is for everybody, and so start off the whole 0:01:40.120 --> 0:01:43.000 week by tell the truth Monday, and that's where we 0:01:43.080 --> 0:01:45.000 begin it. And then make sure these are the things 0:01:45.040 --> 0:01:46.960 we got to do together for us to go. We 0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:49.000 got a lot more in us and it's up to 0:01:49.040 --> 0:01:50.480 all of us to pull it out. 0:01:50.640 --> 0:01:52.960 And I think that's something that's very unique and somewhat 0:01:53.000 --> 0:01:56.040 special about coaches who can take that responsibility. Like where 0:01:56.080 --> 0:01:57.120 does that come from? 0:01:57.160 --> 0:01:57.440 For you? 0:01:59.240 --> 0:02:02.440 I've always loved you know, the part of the game 0:02:02.480 --> 0:02:04.560 where how do you get better? How do you dig 0:02:04.600 --> 0:02:07.320 in and get further. I think the teams that you 0:02:07.400 --> 0:02:08.960 have to go up and down a little bit, go 0:02:09.000 --> 0:02:10.799 through the adversity. You don't want to say you have 0:02:10.840 --> 0:02:12.360 to learn how to lose it. You have to know 0:02:12.360 --> 0:02:15.880 how not to and by losing some you have to 0:02:16.440 --> 0:02:18.720 go through that space to go And it's not just 0:02:18.840 --> 0:02:21.880 enough logan to learn the lessons, you have to apply them. 0:02:22.000 --> 0:02:23.840 You apply them into the game. And you got to 0:02:23.880 --> 0:02:26.840 make sure your identity and all that brings us us 0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:29.200 gets to be you know, fully expressed in the way 0:02:29.200 --> 0:02:31.280 that we play. And so I'd love that it all 0:02:31.320 --> 0:02:34.560 went up, you know, but we're only three months in 0:02:34.600 --> 0:02:37.160 and nothing's been decided yet. And so that's why I 0:02:37.200 --> 0:02:40.120 love our team, what we stand for, and we can't 0:02:40.120 --> 0:02:41.399 get wait to get back out there. 0:02:41.440 --> 0:02:43.440 And Colt, you're you know, strange it to all the 0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:45.880 noise that comes within an NFL season, But some of 0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:47.680 these young guys have not dealt with this yet. How 0:02:47.680 --> 0:02:48.560 have you kept them locked in? 0:02:48.800 --> 0:02:52.480 You know, it's interesting we talked to the rookies earlier 0:02:52.919 --> 0:02:56.720 because you know, this is you know, about fifteen games 0:02:56.800 --> 0:02:58.120 or so in a row for all the guys that 0:02:58.160 --> 0:03:01.320 have played in the preseason, so it's the longest they've 0:03:01.360 --> 0:03:05.800 ever gone without taking a break. And sometimes it's a bigger, 0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:10.720 bigger hurdle mentally than it actually is physically. And the 0:03:10.720 --> 0:03:13.679 whole process of going through the postseason, the draft and 0:03:13.720 --> 0:03:16.760 where money to go takes an emotional toll getting here 0:03:16.840 --> 0:03:19.240 in training camp and in season. So there's a lot 0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:21.720 left in that reserve tank, and most of the time 0:03:21.760 --> 0:03:24.000 it's the other guys on the team and you're gonna 0:03:24.000 --> 0:03:26.040 be just fine. And I can remember my rookie year 0:03:26.080 --> 0:03:31.880 getting about Thanksgiving as a coaching I'm gonna die and 0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:33.760 you just kind of work it through, and but you 0:03:33.840 --> 0:03:36.120 know that part is coming for them, and so I 0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:38.360 wanted to make sure they knew that and could see 0:03:38.360 --> 0:03:39.920 that in one another, and how. 0:03:39.760 --> 0:03:41.320 Do we help them help them through that spot. 0:03:41.320 --> 0:03:45.840 But they'll come out stronger on the other end of 0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:48.600 this game, knowing they'll have some time to reset and 0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:51.040 this is the last buy. So I told them the 0:03:51.040 --> 0:03:54.240 advantages there's another rookie class that'll have be as fresh 0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:56.000 at the end of the season as you guys will do. 0:03:56.160 --> 0:03:58.839 I mean, I think that's some people don't understand fans specifically, 0:03:58.880 --> 0:04:00.640 Like it's at the end of all, like college is 0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:03.400 a completely different animal. But it's so hard each and 0:04:03.440 --> 0:04:05.520 every week to get up for the game. It's got 0:04:05.520 --> 0:04:07.800 it because you're going for one hundred, you know, eighteen times, 0:04:07.840 --> 0:04:09.440 sixteen times, seventeen times in a row. 0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:10.840 Like how do you? 0:04:10.920 --> 0:04:13.720 How do you? What's your process to get yourself there 0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:14.640 each and every week? 0:04:14.720 --> 0:04:16.599 You want to make sure that the week can feel 0:04:16.640 --> 0:04:18.279 the same to you. So what do you do on 0:04:18.279 --> 0:04:19.640 a Monday? What do you doing on a Wednesday? 0:04:19.640 --> 0:04:20.760 And a Thursday and a Friday? 0:04:20.800 --> 0:04:23.200 And as the end of the week comes, it really 0:04:23.240 --> 0:04:26.320 doesn't have anything more with the team anymore. 0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:28.080 You know, you've done the preparation. 0:04:28.240 --> 0:04:31.000 It's in the computer, you know the information that now 0:04:31.000 --> 0:04:33.360 it has to be getting yourself ripped up to say 0:04:33.400 --> 0:04:34.919 this is how we play and this and that. And 0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:37.200 so that's what I do love about our team. The 0:04:37.279 --> 0:04:39.880 fight they're in it, you know, not going back out 0:04:39.880 --> 0:04:42.240 of anything. And so that's why all these close games 0:04:42.560 --> 0:04:45.520 they'll carry over. There is carryover to these close fights, 0:04:46.000 --> 0:04:49.720 and it will pay dividends for us. And going through 0:04:49.760 --> 0:04:53.800 them is hard, and all the wins and losses they're 0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:56.320 all like you learn a lot from them. 0:04:56.400 --> 0:04:58.320 They're all equally important. 0:04:58.480 --> 0:05:02.479 They're not equally enjoyable, but they're equally important because you 0:05:02.600 --> 0:05:06.240 have to apply what you learned into the next game, 0:05:06.320 --> 0:05:09.360 the next moment that comes up. And not every moment 0:05:09.400 --> 0:05:10.880 comes up in every game. You know, this is a 0:05:11.120 --> 0:05:13.559 four minute, this is two minutes, this is overtime, whatever 0:05:13.600 --> 0:05:13.960 that is. 0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:15.800 You just get ready for it. 0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:17.919 And coach, looking at this office, you talk about it 0:05:17.920 --> 0:05:19.920 gets hard, right, Well, this is a working quarterback in 0:05:20.000 --> 0:05:22.599 jad and Daniels, and he has looked great this season 0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:24.320 to say the least, but he's dealt with a little 0:05:24.320 --> 0:05:26.359 bit of adversity these last few games. What if you 0:05:26.360 --> 0:05:28.080 see from him dealing with that adversity and how have 0:05:28.120 --> 0:05:29.560 you helps him get through that adversity. 0:05:29.640 --> 0:05:32.920 Yeah, number one, see it in the practice. You know, 0:05:33.400 --> 0:05:37.640 full speed running, timing and throwing, and so seeing him 0:05:37.640 --> 0:05:39.920 get outside the pocket and make some plays with his legs. 0:05:40.000 --> 0:05:44.000 That's what makes Jaden special. Duel threat, have the right 0:05:44.040 --> 0:05:46.080 blitz on he beats him, has the right coverage on, 0:05:46.200 --> 0:05:47.919 he can go to them, and so the more we 0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:50.840 can get him into remaining a passer. Now there's the 0:05:50.880 --> 0:05:53.480 whole other factor where they want to stop him as 0:05:53.480 --> 0:05:55.359 the runner and you rip it down the field, and 0:05:55.360 --> 0:05:58.280 so getting back into all that that's a big deal. 0:05:58.200 --> 0:05:59.960 And that's what we're going to continue to work really 0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:00.440 hard at. 0:06:00.640 --> 0:06:02.320 I think a lot of fans don't understand kind of 0:06:02.360 --> 0:06:05.040 late season practice and how that changes, and like, how 0:06:05.040 --> 0:06:07.160 have you guys kind of structured that to make sure 0:06:07.160 --> 0:06:08.840 that he's still getting what he needs out appropri. 0:06:09.120 --> 0:06:12.200 You may trim some periods down, but you want the 0:06:12.279 --> 0:06:14.599 speed logan. You know that the importance of touching the 0:06:14.640 --> 0:06:17.440 gas each week, so you stay your timing's ready. This 0:06:17.520 --> 0:06:21.280 overroute has to be this specific way, and it's all 0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:23.919 really important. So you may trim some parts down, but 0:06:24.279 --> 0:06:26.120 the further along you go in the season, you just 0:06:26.200 --> 0:06:28.880 become more efficient. This one, this one, this one to 0:06:28.920 --> 0:06:31.320 this one. You may only be out there sixty minutes, 0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:34.560 but you may have gotten in more than you used 0:06:34.560 --> 0:06:37.480 to at seventy seventy five minutes, just because the team 0:06:37.560 --> 0:06:39.479 is humming and going and they're out of the huddle, 0:06:39.480 --> 0:06:41.640 they're on the line, they can get two things more quickly. 0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:44.760 So it may not be as long, but it definitely 0:06:44.839 --> 0:06:45.640 needs to be as fast. 0:06:45.839 --> 0:06:47.719 And coach, we look at the offensive line. Another tough 0:06:47.760 --> 0:06:49.960 test taking on the Tennessee Titans. What do you expect 0:06:50.000 --> 0:06:50.880 from them today? 0:06:51.080 --> 0:06:54.240 Yeah, the Tennessee Titans provide a really good challenge overall. Defensively, 0:06:54.520 --> 0:06:58.160 they've really played well their third downs. They're aggressive at 0:06:58.160 --> 0:07:02.720 the line of scrimmage. So knowing that package, they've really 0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:06.039 come together quickly defensively, And for them, it definitely starts 0:07:06.080 --> 0:07:09.040 up front. They've got aggressive players they can rush, so 0:07:09.960 --> 0:07:12.800 it'll take a whole balance for us. Like and Logan's 0:07:12.840 --> 0:07:15.200 heard this, it takes all eleven to run the ball. 0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:17.080 It's the quarterback Cary and the play fake, it's the 0:07:17.120 --> 0:07:19.560 receiver blocking, it's the tight end on the backside. So 0:07:20.000 --> 0:07:22.360 all the guys will have a really important role in this. 0:07:22.560 --> 0:07:24.840 They got a guy it's kind of special, two special players, 0:07:24.840 --> 0:07:27.200 Sweat and Simmons Sums at that three technique and to 0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:29.360 kind of bounce in between. Can you talk about, because 0:07:29.400 --> 0:07:32.360 you are defensive defensive coach kind of at heart, why 0:07:32.480 --> 0:07:35.160 having that guy at that three technique can present so 0:07:35.200 --> 0:07:36.400 many different challenges. 0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:41.120 Yeah, for the listeners, you can see a defensive end 0:07:41.160 --> 0:07:45.520 outside and there's lots of ways to help on that 0:07:45.560 --> 0:07:47.920 player in a block and you've seen running teams a 0:07:48.000 --> 0:07:50.480 running back or a tight end may you know we 0:07:50.560 --> 0:07:52.520 call it chip or you're getting in the way. So 0:07:52.560 --> 0:07:54.800 he didn't have a free access. It's much more difficult 0:07:54.840 --> 0:07:58.120 to do inside. And so for a defensive tackle, like 0:07:58.680 --> 0:08:00.840 the running back can't be in the B gap those 0:08:00.840 --> 0:08:03.480 other things that are happening there, and so knowing that 0:08:03.480 --> 0:08:07.400 that's more difficult, that's what makes a player unique because 0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:10.160 now they're in spots where even if they want to 0:08:10.200 --> 0:08:13.200 slide somebody to them, there's ways that they can still 0:08:13.200 --> 0:08:16.160 get their one on one. And that's those guys they 0:08:16.160 --> 0:08:17.640 can really affect the game and. 0:08:17.640 --> 0:08:20.920 Coach another still a game about one seven Terry McLaurin. 0:08:21.000 --> 0:08:22.800 Now you have a lot of chances to have to 0:08:22.800 --> 0:08:25.240 scheme against the Terry mclaorn. What has been like coaching 0:08:25.240 --> 0:08:26.760 a guy like that and how important is he for 0:08:26.800 --> 0:08:27.360 this team? 0:08:28.160 --> 0:08:32.080 You you better never relax, you know, like taking your 0:08:32.120 --> 0:08:35.080 kids to the pool man you've never left unattended, Like 0:08:35.360 --> 0:08:40.240 this guy can go fifty nine minutes and fifty seconds. 0:08:40.240 --> 0:08:44.520 But the one time that you think you're okay, you 0:08:44.559 --> 0:08:46.120 know he is going to make you pay. I love 0:08:47.160 --> 0:08:48.600 you know his ability on the deep ball. 0:08:49.080 --> 0:08:51.160 That to me is what makes him unique where he 0:08:51.240 --> 0:08:52.199 can make. 0:08:52.080 --> 0:08:55.760 Explosive plays, the tracking, the deep ball, the finishing of plays, 0:08:56.200 --> 0:08:58.080 that's what really separates me. 0:08:58.120 --> 0:08:59.920 But I love the competitor that he is, honestly. 0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:02.240 But I'm also sure that like having a guy with 0:09:02.280 --> 0:09:05.440 his level of experience and the competitor is important for 0:09:05.520 --> 0:09:08.640 this kind of late season push. Yes, like that leadership 0:09:08.679 --> 0:09:11.080 for the young guys, young receivers, all this stuff. Can 0:09:11.080 --> 0:09:11.880 you talk about that a little bit? 0:09:12.000 --> 0:09:14.840 Yeah, there's a really unique core group of guys you 0:09:14.880 --> 0:09:18.440 talk about like the efficiency of a zach Ertz and 0:09:19.200 --> 0:09:21.920 like kind of the dog mentality of Noah Brown and 0:09:22.200 --> 0:09:25.160 Terry and what they can bring. And so there's unique 0:09:25.320 --> 0:09:28.640 things that they're able to offer their teammates, whether it 0:09:28.679 --> 0:09:31.559 be a practice skill or communication to the quarterback. 0:09:31.600 --> 0:09:32.400 I will be here. 0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:34.760 I saw it with Zone, this is where I'll be 0:09:34.920 --> 0:09:38.360 And so having that type of detail is really important. 0:09:38.400 --> 0:09:41.080 So who better you know to learn from from guys 0:09:41.120 --> 0:09:44.120 like that that know what excellent can look like And 0:09:44.320 --> 0:09:47.160 how do I know able to share that with the guys. 0:09:47.520 --> 0:09:48.920 And for a defense that we be going up against 0:09:48.920 --> 0:09:51.400 a quarterback and Will Levice who can bust out an 0:09:51.400 --> 0:09:54.160 explosive play. What has been your mindset going against a 0:09:54.200 --> 0:09:56.400 quarterback like this and what the challenges as he calls 0:09:56.440 --> 0:09:56.920 for defense. 0:09:56.920 --> 0:10:00.200 He's a strong player and he can extend play with 0:10:00.240 --> 0:10:02.600 his legs. He can get outside the pocket. In this system, 0:10:02.960 --> 0:10:04.960 they do have the ability to get outside, you know, 0:10:05.080 --> 0:10:07.640 to run keepers and play passes that go with it. 0:10:07.679 --> 0:10:09.600 And so for a player he's got as strong as 0:10:09.720 --> 0:10:12.400 arm as him, you know, a hard run fake and 0:10:12.440 --> 0:10:14.560 then being able to deliver the ball down the field 0:10:14.920 --> 0:10:17.120 to a guy like Calvin Ridley who can stop and 0:10:17.160 --> 0:10:20.760 start and has explosive plays with him. That's where you know, 0:10:20.760 --> 0:10:25.000 a quarterback like Levis has had already some very long passes. 0:10:25.960 --> 0:10:27.720 It's off of the run action. Yeah. 0:10:27.720 --> 0:10:29.959 I remember the first time I saw Patrick Mahomes play it. 0:10:30.000 --> 0:10:30.720 I'm not comparing. 0:10:30.760 --> 0:10:33.360 We'll love a spectry Mahomes, but he has this powerful 0:10:33.480 --> 0:10:36.320 arm and it has made the field feel so huge. 0:10:36.520 --> 0:10:36.720 Yeah. 0:10:36.720 --> 0:10:38.680 Can you talk about that arm strength and kind of 0:10:38.720 --> 0:10:41.720 how that changes the dynamic that defensive coach. 0:10:41.800 --> 0:10:45.880 It does because you're never on top enough. Yeah, right, 0:10:45.920 --> 0:10:48.880 you know there's well, yes, he would still throw at 0:10:48.880 --> 0:10:51.319 that bag and so those are things that you want 0:10:51.360 --> 0:10:53.679 to you know, stay alive for or when the second 0:10:53.720 --> 0:10:56.840 play begins and he scrambles outside the pocket, that he 0:10:56.840 --> 0:10:58.160 could throw it across the field. 0:10:58.200 --> 0:11:00.120 He could throw it down the field. And so is 0:11:00.160 --> 0:11:02.200 a very strong arm quarterback. 0:11:02.520 --> 0:11:05.160 And somebody you're very familiar with, Tony Pollard, will be 0:11:05.200 --> 0:11:07.120 facing him. What challenge is does a running back like 0:11:07.160 --> 0:11:08.400 that post a defense. 0:11:08.760 --> 0:11:13.320 Tony is really a dual threat running back where he 0:11:13.320 --> 0:11:15.280 can be in a slot, he could be you know, 0:11:15.360 --> 0:11:17.520 out of the backfield. So think of Austin in a 0:11:17.520 --> 0:11:19.640 lot of ways that we've used him out of the 0:11:19.679 --> 0:11:22.679 backfield in terms of catching the ball and getting extended 0:11:22.720 --> 0:11:24.520 down the field. One of the things I always admire 0:11:24.520 --> 0:11:27.000 about Tony was so smooth. He could set up somebody 0:11:27.040 --> 0:11:30.160 and then aggressively break them off and spin, you know, 0:11:30.440 --> 0:11:32.560 try to way to break leverage. And so in the 0:11:32.600 --> 0:11:36.480 open field with space, that's where I always felt in practice, 0:11:36.520 --> 0:11:38.560 you know, Tony was the most difficult to guard. 0:11:38.920 --> 0:11:39.079 Yeah. 0:11:39.120 --> 0:11:41.360 Absolutely, I mean he's a special football player for sure. 0:11:41.360 --> 0:11:43.400 And I think the other thing that's interesting is watching 0:11:43.840 --> 0:11:46.840 you know, Bill Callahan's imprint on the offensive line just 0:11:46.880 --> 0:11:49.480 in terms of the volume of runs that they have. Yes, 0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:51.559 they got traps, they got way it was pin pools 0:11:51.600 --> 0:11:53.600 outside zone. How do you kind of make sure you 0:11:53.679 --> 0:11:56.080 got all the eyes dotted or what is it? Teas 0:11:56.160 --> 0:11:56.720 crossed the. 0:11:57.559 --> 0:11:58.720 I know exactly what you're saying. 0:11:59.440 --> 0:12:02.520 You're right because Bill's influence is very strong in the 0:12:02.520 --> 0:12:05.280 one game and so what have you been heard on? 0:12:05.400 --> 0:12:07.080 He's going to try to tack you there first? What 0:12:07.120 --> 0:12:07.880 do they do best? 0:12:07.960 --> 0:12:09.360 Those are going to be some things to go so 0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:12.959 for us to make sure that you better have the 0:12:13.080 --> 0:12:16.080 edges set for runners that have this type of bounce 0:12:16.120 --> 0:12:19.520 out ability and inside you better do a really good 0:12:19.600 --> 0:12:21.920 job tackling, you know, to make sure you know if 0:12:21.920 --> 0:12:24.120 they can hit a gap scheme, you've got to be 0:12:24.160 --> 0:12:25.400 at the right spot and you've got to make sure 0:12:25.440 --> 0:12:26.200 you can go and tackle. 0:12:26.960 --> 0:12:30.240 And our defense seems to have improved each and every week. 0:12:30.559 --> 0:12:32.480 Our defensive coordinator, Joe wit Junior, I don't think we 0:12:32.520 --> 0:12:34.080 talk enough about him. Can you show him some love 0:12:34.080 --> 0:12:35.439 a little bit? And what he's been able to do 0:12:35.640 --> 0:12:37.520 with this defense that has made him so successful. 0:12:37.600 --> 0:12:40.680 Yeah, Joe is a really committed teacher, and I think 0:12:40.679 --> 0:12:42.959 that's one of the highest compliments that you can give 0:12:42.960 --> 0:12:43.320 a coach. 0:12:43.600 --> 0:12:45.040 Almost any time you hear the word coach. 0:12:45.080 --> 0:12:48.000 You could probably put the word teacher in if they're 0:12:48.000 --> 0:12:50.719 really nailing it, because that's such such a big part 0:12:50.760 --> 0:12:51.240 of what we do. 0:12:51.280 --> 0:12:52.559 And so the specifics of. 0:12:54.640 --> 0:12:56.360 You know, a design of a coverage of what it's 0:12:56.360 --> 0:12:58.120 supposed to look like pre snap to what it can 0:12:58.160 --> 0:13:00.320 look like after the snap, to make the quarter back 0:13:00.679 --> 0:13:02.920 have to decide what it is after he gets the 0:13:02.960 --> 0:13:06.520 ball in his hands. And so he's detailed, he's accountable, 0:13:07.120 --> 0:13:09.680 he's thoughtful about, you know, when to do the right 0:13:09.720 --> 0:13:12.560 things blitz back off play coverage, and so I really 0:13:12.600 --> 0:13:14.439 like that Joe's hitting his stride and the guys are too. 0:13:14.840 --> 0:13:17.520 And it's also so interesting watching Joe Wood Junior and 0:13:17.600 --> 0:13:20.800 just defense in general because it's such a reactive yes thing, 0:13:20.960 --> 0:13:23.000 you know what I mean, and thinking about, hey, this 0:13:23.040 --> 0:13:24.760 is cover three, but I got to have it fit 0:13:24.920 --> 0:13:27.840 versus three by one versus four by one versus you 0:13:27.920 --> 0:13:29.679 talk about that process and how you kind of make 0:13:29.679 --> 0:13:31.800 sure that you've got all your bases covered, you know, 0:13:31.960 --> 0:13:33.160 versus something that's so reacting. 0:13:33.200 --> 0:13:35.120 Yeah, in my next life, I'm definitely coming back as 0:13:35.679 --> 0:13:40.080 you made a mistake, there's no question, But you do 0:13:40.160 --> 0:13:43.240 have to have rules and principles, And there are certain 0:13:43.360 --> 0:13:46.400 routes with switch releases and certain plays that you just 0:13:46.600 --> 0:13:49.160 think of the play that Terry had in the game, 0:13:50.400 --> 0:13:52.560 you know last week, where there's a different combination of 0:13:52.559 --> 0:13:55.000 a receiver coming out and he can get behind someone else. 0:13:55.000 --> 0:13:58.520 So those are the nuances that go into different coverages. 0:13:58.559 --> 0:14:02.719 And so some coverages have weaknesses and strengths, well not 0:14:03.040 --> 0:14:06.640 some all, and how do you play into those strengths. Okay, 0:14:06.679 --> 0:14:08.920 that's a tough route against that coverage, but it'd be 0:14:09.000 --> 0:14:11.400 very good against here. So that's why the disguise is 0:14:11.400 --> 0:14:12.000 so important. 0:14:18.080 --> 0:14:21.560 Logan, what's talking impact players. Let's start with number sixty three, 0:14:21.680 --> 0:14:22.400 Tyler Biadis. 0:14:22.640 --> 0:14:24.880 He's got a huge, huge, huge matchup this week because 0:14:24.880 --> 0:14:27.120 he's got sweat on the interior. Is a huge defensive 0:14:27.120 --> 0:14:29.440 tackle rookie out of Texas who's playing really good football. 0:14:29.560 --> 0:14:31.400 And Simmons also ends up in the notes, so probably 0:14:31.440 --> 0:14:33.720 two of their best defensive players will be in in 0:14:33.920 --> 0:14:36.080 locking horns with them all day. And then on top 0:14:36.120 --> 0:14:38.480 of that, he's got the intellectual problem of kind of 0:14:38.520 --> 0:14:41.080 dealing with a very complicated blit scheme he's gonna have 0:14:41.080 --> 0:14:42.960 to target that he's shown all season he can handle 0:14:42.960 --> 0:14:44.840 whoever you put in front of him. You know, going 0:14:44.840 --> 0:14:46.720 to totoe with Dex Lawrence, these guys will be Keith 0:14:46.760 --> 0:14:49.040 piece of cake. But also the mental aspect getting those 0:14:49.040 --> 0:14:51.200 protections targeted. Big, big, big week for. 0:14:51.200 --> 0:14:53.200 Him and one guy that seems to impact the field 0:14:53.240 --> 0:14:55.640 on every level, Number eleven Jeremy San Yeah. 0:14:55.720 --> 0:14:56.880 So one of the things that they do is such 0:14:56.880 --> 0:14:58.560 a great job is they run the football at a 0:14:58.600 --> 0:15:00.680 very really high level, and he's been in terms of 0:15:00.680 --> 0:15:03.560 stepping up fitting runs and then also covering tight ends. 0:15:03.600 --> 0:15:05.680 They've got a lot of explosive plays from their tight ends. 0:15:05.760 --> 0:15:07.560 He's done a great job in those matchups. So big 0:15:07.600 --> 0:15:08.920 week this week is he's going to be kind of 0:15:08.960 --> 0:15:12.080 in between coverage, run defense. How do you handle those 0:15:12.120 --> 0:15:14.760 complicated looks. Can't wait to watch him play football. 0:15:14.480 --> 0:15:16.160 And like your boy friends, Ston says, the big guys 0:15:16.160 --> 0:15:16.440 of Snow. 0:15:18.680 --> 0:15:20.800 Yeah, these guys got a really unique matchup this week, 0:15:20.840 --> 0:15:22.720 not because of the guys they're playing against, but because 0:15:22.760 --> 0:15:25.680 of the scheme bo Bill Callahan and the offensive line 0:15:25.720 --> 0:15:28.240 coach brings a really wide array of different types of 0:15:28.280 --> 0:15:30.520 runs traps in wams which have hurt these guys this 0:15:30.600 --> 0:15:32.880 year because they're such penetrators, right, So can they be 0:15:32.960 --> 0:15:35.520 locked in with the different techniques? Can they find ways 0:15:35.560 --> 0:15:37.400 again to kind of put themselves in the best positions 0:15:37.400 --> 0:15:40.000 to be successful versus the traps, the whams, versus the 0:15:40.000 --> 0:15:42.320 bounces and perimeter runs. You see a lot of defensive 0:15:42.320 --> 0:15:44.520 tackles making a ton of plays for them so on 0:15:44.600 --> 0:15:46.440 those types of runs. So, really, these guys need to 0:15:46.440 --> 0:15:46.960 have a huge game. 0:15:46.960 --> 0:15:48.760 When you're a quarterback like Will Levis, who do not 0:15:48.760 --> 0:15:50.520 want to see any of these three guys, And when 0:15:50.520 --> 0:15:52.640 you're a defensive lineman, you definitely do not want to 0:15:52.680 --> 0:15:55.080 see Tyler Beyond is great and Pact clay is logan 0:15:59.080 --> 0:16:01.400 command is fany your ticket to a win? Are these 0:16:01.520 --> 0:16:04.600 must watch masters? Let's get Ryan to it. Tennessee's offensive 0:16:04.600 --> 0:16:06.720 line versus our dynamic pass rush. 0:16:06.880 --> 0:16:08.160 Yeah, No, I think this is gonna be a huge 0:16:08.160 --> 0:16:10.040 matchup because one thing about Will Levis is he does 0:16:10.080 --> 0:16:11.920 hold the football quite a bit. And while this offensive 0:16:11.920 --> 0:16:14.400 line is good, they're very young, they're developing, they do 0:16:14.480 --> 0:16:15.800 give up a lot of sacks, and I think that 0:16:15.960 --> 0:16:18.160 coincides with Will Levis. So can we play good coverage 0:16:18.200 --> 0:16:20.080 in the back end, and can we take advantage of 0:16:20.080 --> 0:16:21.640 some young players, specifically. 0:16:21.240 --> 0:16:21.880 At the right tackle. 0:16:21.920 --> 0:16:24.280 They've had a lot of different players in their young players, 0:16:24.480 --> 0:16:26.360 guys not a lot of experience, not a lot of 0:16:26.360 --> 0:16:29.480 playing experience in the NFL. Can Frankie Luvu Ken Fowler 0:16:29.520 --> 0:16:31.800 take advantage of that matchup? I think so. And again 0:16:32.000 --> 0:16:33.920 he's going to give you an opportunity. Unlike Dallas where 0:16:33.920 --> 0:16:35.840 they're getting the ball out so quick, these guys hold 0:16:35.840 --> 0:16:37.920 the ball for these deep shot plays. Let's get some 0:16:38.000 --> 0:16:38.720 sacks and logan. 0:16:38.760 --> 0:16:40.800
