1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:10,480 Speaker 1: Trial Curi. So what you got, I. 2 00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:13,320 Speaker 2: Give the injured updates. 3 00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:19,920 Speaker 1: The only update you ahead where you're gonna sit down, 4 00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:27,280 Speaker 1: that's fine, the only injury, no injury update, the only 5 00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:30,960 Speaker 1: update for the game. Jolani Tovai will be he'll be 6 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,760 Speaker 1: out for the game. That'll be non injury related. Uh 7 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:38,280 Speaker 1: that that's something personal and that'll be all that I'll 8 00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,560 Speaker 1: talk about at this time. So that's the only update 9 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:42,600 Speaker 1: I have for you. 10 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:46,560 Speaker 2: It seems that Joe Burrow could be playing. He's the best. 11 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:51,479 Speaker 1: Questionable has how has that change? I think it really 12 00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:53,960 Speaker 1: it hasn't. I mean the stuff that they've always done 13 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:57,800 Speaker 1: and we'll do. You know, it's going to remain the same. 14 00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 1: I mean Joe's probably or is more mobile than what 15 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:06,480 Speaker 1: Joe is both. You know, we're going to run the 16 00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:08,679 Speaker 1: same concepts and the same plays and look to try 17 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:12,000 Speaker 1: to get the ball in the same places. I would 18 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:16,039 Speaker 1: imagine that Joe being a whole younger and there's gonna 19 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 1: be a little bit more mobile, but we'll have to 20 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:23,480 Speaker 1: be ready for for whatever happens Sunday. It's uncertainty. You 21 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,520 Speaker 1: think there's any game and ship live there from CC 22 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 1: If not, Ann how signor still more day No, and 23 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 1: then that's they're you know, I mean they haven't activated, 24 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 1: they haven't elevated them or activated them off of the 25 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,200 Speaker 1: the IR. So I mean again, whatever they decide to do, 26 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 1: they decide to do. 27 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:44,680 Speaker 2: Like we were talking about Zach where yesterday about how 28 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 2: Zach Taylor likes to kind of on stick receivers. 29 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 3: When they expect man and he mentioned stax and munches. 30 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 2: I'm curious, when you guys are in the tight red zone, 31 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,040 Speaker 2: how do you decide when you want to lock and 32 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 2: level certain times or combo those things heading into with 33 00:01:58,720 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 2: a game. 34 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 1: M maybe route concepts or sometimes things that we've shown 35 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 1: there's different ways to try to self scout and see 36 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 1: how you've done those things, whether they're motioning to it 37 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:14,079 Speaker 1: or lying to it. We talked a lot about Drake's 38 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 1: leadership over the off season and during training camp, how 39 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 1: you've seen him continue to grow in that area during 40 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 1: the right places, and I think it's improving. I think 41 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 1: it's things we're always trying to work on, whether that's 42 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 1: as a coach or as a players. The things and 43 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 1: the impact that we have on the football team that 44 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 1: aren't physical that maybe somewhat are emotional and our ability 45 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:43,400 Speaker 1: to reach players and you know, Drake's Drake's a part 46 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 1: of that working hard at it. Again, there's a lot 47 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 1: of you know, I would say as a quarterback or 48 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 1: a head coach, there's a lot more people that you 49 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 1: have to impact and reach. And so I think that 50 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 1: whether that's a skilled player or running back or an 51 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 1: offensive lineman, you know, those are all just different personalities. 52 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,359 Speaker 1: So it's getting to know all those guys and you know, 53 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 1: what are things that they'll respond to. 54 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 4: You mentioned I have both a head coach and a 55 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 4: quarterback sort of share that responsibility. 56 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,920 Speaker 1: That's something that you talked to him about. Any ways 57 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 1: to effectively do that. Yeah, we're I think in our 58 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 1: own personality and our own way. We've talked about this 59 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 1: ad nauseam. I mean we're we're different people. I think 60 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:31,920 Speaker 1: you guys didn't take you long to figure that out. 61 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 1: But I mean again, he has to impact, you know, 62 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 1: our organization off the field, just the same as he 63 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 1: hasked to on the field. That's what you sign up 64 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 1: for when you're starting quarterback in the National Football League. 65 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 1: He's got good community and the offend the line. So far, 66 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 1: how have you just seen that union jail together as 67 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 1: a cool throat the season, we've had good stretches, We've 68 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 1: had some plays we like to have back, and the 69 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 1: only thing that matters is what they do on Sunday, 70 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 1: and that's that's We've had had good continuity, Like you mentioned, 71 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 1: you know, try to maintain and get guys ready, making 72 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 1: sure that the guys behind them are ready. But the 73 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 1: only thing that matters is what they do on Sunday 74 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 1: and how they play against the Bengals and and what 75 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 1: they're going to be able to do to us. 76 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:27,479 Speaker 4: Wait, would you see from we're modred this week? 77 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:28,920 Speaker 3: Is he hears his return? 78 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 1: I mean I would say that there wasn't many restrictions 79 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,720 Speaker 1: and that he responded well to the practice, And yeah, 80 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:41,719 Speaker 1: I would say that as long as we're not any 81 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 1: setbacks here, that he'd be in line to play. You 82 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 1: get anything, You don't have another follow up? My man 83 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 1: was going to ask if I would like if I 84 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,360 Speaker 1: said tone on the special teams. I thought last game, 85 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,920 Speaker 1: you've got some other options to help fill that boy. Yeah, 86 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,480 Speaker 1: I mean we've got some you know, bigger body guys 87 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 1: and you know Swinson and ponder Otis Reese could come 88 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 1: up for the practice squad, you know, and I would 89 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 1: say Anthrony's done that is to try to play physical 90 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,160 Speaker 1: and be big on the kickoff and you go down there, 91 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 1: you see him at the you know, at the point 92 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 1: of attack sometimes and creating uh, you know, some disruption 93 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 1: and making sure that that happens. And you know, really 94 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 1: at this point in season, it's all hands on deck 95 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 1: for for everything that we're trying to do. 96 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:31,039 Speaker 3: Like you guys had great health this year. 97 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:35,279 Speaker 2: Not done with how much if anything, is different from 98 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,159 Speaker 2: when you were working with Frank in your last year's 99 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:38,920 Speaker 2: a Tennessee to kind of the program you have now. 100 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 1: Not a whole lot. I mean, I just again, these 101 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:47,480 Speaker 1: things kind of come and go, and it's just there's 102 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 1: gonna be some injuries that we're just not going to 103 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 1: be able to avoid. And like I tell everybody, the 104 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,599 Speaker 1: injury rate in the National Football League is one hundred percent. 105 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 1: If you play long enough, you're guaranteed to get hurt. 106 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 1: I'm glad and and I think the biggest thing is 107 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,600 Speaker 1: that when you when injuries happen, you know, are the 108 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,600 Speaker 1: players doing everything that they can to get back And 109 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,359 Speaker 1: again that's a testament to them. It's a testament to 110 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 1: the training staff and the strength and conditioning staff that 111 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,480 Speaker 1: there they can get them back in a short amount 112 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 1: of time. You know. I mean, I'm not going to 113 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 1: sit there and say that there's some magic formula there. 114 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 1: There's just not. And you know, I think that when 115 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,479 Speaker 1: the players are able to stay healthy and stay on 116 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:35,360 Speaker 1: the field and help us, that's a positive. And when 117 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 1: they can't, then we have to do everything that we 118 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 1: can to get them back as quickly as possible, uh, 119 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 1: in order to help the football team. And so that's 120 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:45,840 Speaker 1: that's what we're focused on. Mike. 121 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 4: For a guy like Andy and the job that he's 122 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 4: stepped he stepped into this year, how many conversations do 123 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 4: you have with Jeremy week's week about his preparation and 124 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 4: he's getting used to the NFL workload or do you 125 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 4: go and have those conversations went all with him and 126 00:06:58,240 --> 00:06:59,600 Speaker 4: just to check it on them and where he's at much. 127 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:01,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I've always trying to talk to those 128 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:07,840 Speaker 1: guys and you know, minitoring and how many kicks and 129 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 1: how many you know, how many times we're kicking each week? 130 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 1: And I mean it's not like it's it's a pretty 131 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 1: that's a pretty violent action when when you're talking about 132 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 1: kicking and the kickoffs in the game and seeing how 133 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 1: they respond and is do we kick on Thursdays? You know, 134 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 1: I'm just trying to find different things that when they 135 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 1: don't kick on Wednesday, you know, what's the mental approach, 136 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 1: what's the you know this this field goal protection is 137 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 1: something that's critical and so making sure that we practice 138 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 1: that every day so that Andy has confidence that guys 139 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 1: aren't going to come through. I mean, there's four kicks 140 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 1: blocked every week, it seems like, so we don't want 141 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 1: to be victim to that, so we try to practice it. 142 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 1: And then just his ability to mentally approach seeing the 143 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 1: snap and seeing the hold and whatever it is he's 144 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 1: doing and planting and he may not, you know, physically 145 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 1: kick it, but I think that's the biggest thing, is 146 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,720 Speaker 1: just mentally being in the right spot. Jared Wilson mentioned 147 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 1: he changed up his stance last week based onthing advice 148 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 1: you gave him. 149 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 3: I'm curious what led to that advice and what are 150 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 3: the advantages of a two point versus three point steam. 151 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 1: It wasn't advice, it was a suggestion. Try to help 152 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 1: the player. 153 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 3: That's all we talked to you a couple of weeks 154 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 3: ago about team speed, the importance of team speed, and 155 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 3: that you. 156 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 1: Guys are kind of flashing over who was here? 157 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 3: Did a quick pull in the lock of three names 158 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,080 Speaker 3: came up as the fastest guys with team Marcus Jones, 159 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 3: Kyle Trivia? 160 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 1: Do you have a vote? 161 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,120 Speaker 3: Which really way you wo keep? 162 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,240 Speaker 1: After? No? I think that the speed that I'm focused 163 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 1: on now is the speed in which we recover mentally 164 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 1: from positive player or negative play. And I think that 165 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 1: that's that's the speed that I'm focused on is as 166 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:53,559 Speaker 1: the head coach, how do I get us back to neutral? 167 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 1: How do I get us back prepared for the next situation? 168 00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:58,920 Speaker 1: Were you a big momentum guy, Mike? 169 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 4: Because I like recover from a positive play that's so different. 170 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:05,040 Speaker 4: Do you Are you a kind of guy that's like, 171 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 4: we always got to ride this kind of middle ground 172 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 4: or do you like to ride the momentum of good place? 173 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 1: I think that you have to build be able to 174 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 1: build the momentum, you know, and take advantage of it. 175 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 1: And if you don't have it, you have to try 176 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:22,439 Speaker 1: to create it. And I don't think that you know, 177 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:27,440 Speaker 1: but I don't think you can be too high or 178 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,320 Speaker 1: you know, you just have to focus on what's happening next. 179 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:36,160 Speaker 1: And but certainly, you know he's positive plays and yeah, 180 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,200 Speaker 1: whether that's on offense or defense or the kickoff team 181 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,800 Speaker 1: is covering it, you know, but that's something that has 182 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 1: to be built. You can't just doesn't carry over. The 183 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 1: momentum doesn't carry over. Something that's got to be built. 184 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 2: How does having a guy like Moody help the offense 185 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:55,000 Speaker 2: week meets. 186 00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 1: I think he's a he's a calming you know what I mean. 187 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,720 Speaker 1: He's got a different personality. He's kind of you know, 188 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,080 Speaker 1: there's a there's a there's a calmness to him, and 189 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:09,320 Speaker 1: I appreciate that. I think that there's a confidence with 190 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:13,600 Speaker 1: the quarterback. I think he's got you know, it's contested catch. 191 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 1: I think he's shown the ability to do that. He's 192 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 1: strong at the catch point. You know, with with dvs 193 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 1: that that are going to be you know, on body. 194 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:26,200 Speaker 1: So I think that helps. So it's good to see 195 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,200 Speaker 1: him execute. Earlier in the year, we talked about some 196 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,719 Speaker 1: of the five minutes stuff, staying in bounds and you know, 197 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 1: being somebody that's reliable.
