1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,240 Speaker 1: Um, you talk all the time about improvement, right you 2 00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:04,680 Speaker 1: see the improvement and the results will come. When you 3 00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:06,840 Speaker 1: look back at that first game against the Cowboys ten 4 00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:10,280 Speaker 1: eleven weeks ago, are there specific things you can look 5 00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:12,920 Speaker 1: at and share that we are better now than we 6 00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:15,760 Speaker 1: were then? And maybe a couple of things where you know, 7 00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:18,320 Speaker 1: I'm disappointed we're not a lot better now than we 8 00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:22,360 Speaker 1: were there. Obviously, there's a lot of things, you know, 9 00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:25,120 Speaker 1: I look at, you know, a very critical eye. I 10 00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:26,840 Speaker 1: do see a lot of improvement from the team as 11 00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:29,080 Speaker 1: a whole. Um. This is far from the team that 12 00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:31,560 Speaker 1: played the Cowboys the first time. And again, like I said, yes, say, 13 00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:33,680 Speaker 1: they're a much improved team as well. You can see 14 00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:35,720 Speaker 1: that very clearly on the tape. You know, there's a 15 00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:37,280 Speaker 1: lot of things that stand out to me. You know, 16 00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:39,560 Speaker 1: you watch the tape. I mean, look, you kind of 17 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:41,680 Speaker 1: flash on back to you know, Daniels play and the 18 00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:43,360 Speaker 1: offensive line has seen a lot of growth in development. 19 00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:45,400 Speaker 1: The offensive line is allowed Daniels stand back there in 20 00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:47,760 Speaker 1: the pocket, you know, more confidently and not have to 21 00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:49,839 Speaker 1: escape all time and extent plays to get it down 22 00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:51,440 Speaker 1: the field. I saw a lot of good catches from 23 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,360 Speaker 1: our receivers in that early game on extended plays. I've 24 00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:56,840 Speaker 1: seen a lot of plays throughout the season that reflected 25 00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:58,920 Speaker 1: mirror that we improved from that game going forward. And 26 00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:00,920 Speaker 1: contested catches as well. Oh you look at Sterling, you 27 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:02,720 Speaker 1: look at Gold, and you look at Chef or I 28 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:05,119 Speaker 1: mean um Slat and look at those guys down the field. 29 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,320 Speaker 1: Some contested catches. Now, we got to be more consistent 30 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:09,840 Speaker 1: as a coaching staff, and you know, execution of players 31 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 1: across the board really raise our level of play. But 32 00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:14,120 Speaker 1: there's a number of things I look at from that 33 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,000 Speaker 1: game that you can say, Okay, we're a lot better. 34 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,600 Speaker 1: Like you turn that tape on from twelve weeks ago 35 00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 1: and you can look at that, you know, and I 36 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,400 Speaker 1: watched several times a weekend leading into it, and it 37 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:24,280 Speaker 1: kind of jumps out of you, like man like I 38 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,520 Speaker 1: can see individual improvement from a lot of players, I 39 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 1: can see collective improvement from units, and I can see 40 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 1: collective improvement from the entire team as a whole. So 41 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 1: there's a lot of encouraging things going forward. Um our 42 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:35,480 Speaker 1: guy has done a good job this year, working hard 43 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 1: and making a lot of improving. There's a lot of 44 00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,679 Speaker 1: guys who are younger players. A lot of guys who 45 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 1: are very new to our program at the point of 46 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:43,120 Speaker 1: coming in who didn't go through an entire training camp 47 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 1: with us or join us. You maybe running back into 48 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 1: training camp and uh, you know, I see those guys 49 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 1: really fitting in the system as well and making a 50 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 1: lot of games excellently. Hey Joe, hey run, How tough 51 00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 1: a matchup is this for your secondary? What make they're 52 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 1: three top receivers so challenging because obviously you guys have Bradberry, 53 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 1: who's taken away a top receiver quite often this season, 54 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 1: but this team has too. It seems like almost has 55 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 1: three number ones. Well, I think it's an accurate statement 56 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:14,960 Speaker 1: what you said right there in terms of the whole 57 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 1: label of number one receivers. I think all three of 58 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 1: these guys could fit in that label of being a 59 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 1: top receiver for a team and a feature matchup guy. 60 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,120 Speaker 1: You know, I think the thing is unique about these guys. 61 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:25,639 Speaker 1: You get a lot of receivers throughout the lake who 62 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 1: maybe are bigger, fast targets that are down the field threats, 63 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 1: and you get other guys maybe kind of smaller or 64 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,960 Speaker 1: quicker that are catching run threats. These guys all have 65 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 1: good size, they have very good speed. They can build 66 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,800 Speaker 1: their speed and holder speed down the field. They have 67 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 1: good hands, make contested catches, but they do an exceptional 68 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,959 Speaker 1: job of extending place. So you know, you can look 69 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 1: early in the year with the deep shots down the field, 70 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:47,520 Speaker 1: and then you can look even as as recent as 71 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,360 Speaker 1: last week with Andy hitting a slant to Cooper. He 72 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,640 Speaker 1: takes it for a huge game, hitting the screen to gallop. 73 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 1: Huge game, you know, ceedee lamb over the middle, huge gains. 74 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 1: So they learn how to really use these guys in 75 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 1: different situations. Think Kellen's does a great job of, you know, 76 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 1: creating matchups, you know, isolating defenders, making you play one 77 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 1: on one ball and and he's very smart to understand 78 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 1: where he needs to go at the ball. The ball 79 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,919 Speaker 1: gets out fast, he doesn't hold it very long. Most 80 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,359 Speaker 1: of his passes are really completed inside of twenty yards, 81 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 1: but that doesn't mean it's not an explosive play. We've 82 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 1: got to do a good job of tackling in space, 83 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,519 Speaker 1: and these are all very talented runners in space to 84 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 1: the ball. Stun Hey, Joe, I got a big picture 85 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 1: question for You're coming up on, you know, being there 86 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 1: a year You've worked with day for a year. How 87 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 1: would you describe that working relationship with you too? Yeah, 88 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:32,960 Speaker 1: I'd say the entire building since I've been here has 89 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 1: really had, you know, kind of one vision going forward. 90 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 1: I've enjoyed working with Dave the entire year. We've done 91 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 1: a lot of good things together. I really enjoyed the 92 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 1: process through free agency and the draft, obviously, went through 93 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 1: training camp. There was a lot of logistical work we 94 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 1: had to cooperate with throughout the spring and summer in 95 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 1: terms of getting the set up and ready for when 96 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 1: the team came back. There's a lot of cooperation work 97 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 1: throughout the building. I think everyone's doing a good job 98 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 1: right now in terms of just understanding where we want 99 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 1: to go and pushing in that direction. It's been a 100 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 1: lot of really good communication with day Eve alright, Kevin, Mark, Tim, 101 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 1: all the guys working at personnel in terms of kinds 102 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 1: of players that we're really looking for that fit into 103 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 1: our systems and looking around the league and who's available 104 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 1: on the street, as well as building in the draft 105 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 1: with Chris and his staff in terms of who's gonna 106 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 1: fit what we're looking for. So I'm very pleased how 107 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 1: we came out of last spring with free agency and 108 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 1: the draft. Think all those guys we brought in have 109 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 1: contributed to this team, have developed in time and have 110 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,160 Speaker 1: helped lay a foundation for this team. We've got to 111 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 1: keep drafting. Well, we have to keep signing free agents 112 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 1: that will build not only within our culture but our schemes. 113 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 1: Gives versatility. But I'd say the cooperation on both aspects, 114 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 1: you know, the building has been working as one and 115 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:41,360 Speaker 1: that's been a very positive thing. Than sure Canada a 116 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:46,920 Speaker 1: Jo Happy birthday. Hey, thanks Tom. Um. Quick question in 117 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:48,920 Speaker 1: the last twenty four hours, you guys have been very 118 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 1: open about Daniel being limited about his forest mobility as 119 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,839 Speaker 1: an older guy. Would you have for sand bag an opponent? 120 00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:01,160 Speaker 1: You said one more time, would you ever are deceive 121 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:05,599 Speaker 1: an opponent? And we'll use the word sandbag when I 122 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:14,280 Speaker 1: was growing up? Um. No, Look, I read Daniel's comments yesterday. Um, 123 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 1: probably a little bit more forthcoming than I would have 124 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 1: been with it right there. Um, But as I said yesterday, 125 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 1: we'll do whatever it takes to win the game. But again, look, 126 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 1: I can't stress that I'm gonna always put the players 127 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 1: health in consideration how we call the game. You know, 128 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 1: I can't turn around. As you said, yes, they take 129 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,159 Speaker 1: the gloves off. Well, the gloves come off and you 130 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 1: expose someone to long term injury. That's not always the 131 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 1: most opportune thing. So we're gonna make sure that we, 132 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:38,480 Speaker 1: you know, always put our players in position of strength 133 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 1: that includes our health. Thank you. Let's take two more, 134 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 1: Jordan Rock. Jordan's aye. Do you view this as sort 135 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 1: of like a playoff game? It the way it works out, 136 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 1: it's essentially an elimination game. And I'm curious. You've been 137 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 1: in a lot of these games as a coach. Do 138 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,599 Speaker 1: you handle them differently? Do you need to, you know, 139 00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 1: make sure your players stay within themselves, you know, approach 140 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:05,039 Speaker 1: it any differently knowing that the intensity might be at 141 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,160 Speaker 1: a different level. Look, our approach has been the same 142 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:08,719 Speaker 1: all year in terms of putting everything we have in 143 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,720 Speaker 1: every game. You know. Look, we have sixteen opportunities a 144 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,040 Speaker 1: year to go out there and perform and execute. This 145 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 1: is one of the sixteen. Uh, Look they all add 146 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 1: up collectively. Okay, it's not the sixteenth game that means 147 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:21,600 Speaker 1: something more than the first fifteen. You have to take 148 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 1: advantage of all your opportunities, and there's times this year, 149 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:26,720 Speaker 1: we had to play better and take advantage the times 150 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:28,279 Speaker 1: that we played good games that came out with the 151 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 1: results were looking for. But we've got to make them 152 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 1: all count along the way. Uh, if you want to 153 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 1: go ahead and talk about anything past those sixteen games. 154 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 1: But in terms of us, our players will come to 155 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:40,159 Speaker 1: work every week this season worked tirelessly. They don't asked 156 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 1: them to do. They prepared well. You know, we do 157 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 1: a good job as coaches making sure these last you know, 158 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 1: seventy two hours or so. Leading in the game, we 159 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:48,920 Speaker 1: do the best job possible pairing our players and then 160 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 1: on game they make necessary adjustments when they come up 161 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 1: and stay ahead on them. Especially. Haven't burned the man 162 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 1: last one here? No, You've You've been pretty clear about 163 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 1: and you know, being the you know, your long term quarterback. 164 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,360 Speaker 1: Where is your level of confidence uh in the offensive 165 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 1: system that he's running and what what kind of changes 166 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 1: do you have to implement whenever the off season starts? 167 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 1: Obviously is there's only so much you can do week 168 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 1: to week. What what do you want to see from 169 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 1: from this offense when it takes the field for season. Well, 170 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 1: I'm always gonna look for our offense to evolve with 171 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 1: the players we have in it. So to me, the 172 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:26,840 Speaker 1: priority is getting good players in here, which I think 173 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 1: we have, and then putting in positions where they can 174 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,239 Speaker 1: make plays. And we just got to keep on evolving 175 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 1: as we go with the level of experience and the 176 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 1: strengths of the players as they increase and we get 177 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 1: some young players in here as well, we have to 178 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 1: make sure that we put them positions they can execute 179 00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 1: without having to slow down mentally with how they play um. 180 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 1: But the vision of the offense to me is always 181 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 1: gonna be the same, to be a multiple team who 182 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 1: can adjust on the fly, who can put our players 183 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 1: and positions of strength and can make an adjustments as 184 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 1: we need to.
