1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:06,480
Speaker 1: Good morning. Can you start today about we practice indoors

2
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 1: and a start what's the plan and also you know

3
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:13,280
Speaker 1: you look outside there. I think we're I think we're

4
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:17,319
Speaker 1: definitely indoors. Yeah, definitely we're inside today. Um, probably have

5
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:19,960
Speaker 1: to go inside again tomorrow, but I mean if we

6
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 1: can get out tomorrow, we'll go outside. So hopefully we're

7
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 1: gonna get outside stady based off of what I've seen

8
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 1: in the weather. By the report colvid lists say, no

9
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 1: down players, nothing nothing to report will be today? Will

10
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 1: you practice? So we'll take him through the early part

11
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 1: with Britain and then we'll see how he is. He's

12
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 1: still sore, so m he's limited reps as his category.

13
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:51,159
Speaker 1: UM no, just just maybe watch some guys and you

14
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: can watch them through individual. Um we'll bring back Um

15
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 1: Donovan is going to go through individual today. UM. Sean

16
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 1: mckeons going to go through individual today and Kelvin it's

17
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:12,039
Speaker 1: going to also go through Individual today. Yes, we get

18
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,679
Speaker 1: a chance to talk to Dan Quinn on Monday and

19
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: he said, one of your superpowers is that you never

20
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: get too higher too low, you know, right the way

21
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 1: you kind of keep it right down the middle and

22
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 1: stay insistent. Is that something like my golf game is play?

23
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: Is that something that you've always been has it learned

24
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,960
Speaker 1: or And then also why is that important? Well, I

25
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: think it's definitely needed in a position of leadership. I

26
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: think it's like all of us, you learn things. Um,

27
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 1: you know what I know about the game, the preparation

28
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 1: part of it, the performance part of it. But you know,

29
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 1: you definitely have to learn about yourself. So I'm a

30
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: big believer in listening to your own language. Um, I

31
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: think you know, coaching a different generation today than than

32
00:01:58,120 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: when I got into the league and in the early

33
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: nine I think that those are that's part of the

34
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: learning process. And but yeah, I think if you want consistency,

35
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: you definitely have to have consistency from the leadership positions.

36
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: Can you look at your run defense through the first

37
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 1: five games? What do you put most of the success

38
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 1: they're on? Is it the leads have been part of it?

39
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: Some of the leads you have been able to generate

40
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 1: or have they just stopped it early? And just so

41
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,360
Speaker 1: it comes down to you know, the where where guys

42
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:28,079
Speaker 1: are playing. I mean, if you know, having the lead

43
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 1: and people trying to run the ball to keep our

44
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 1: offense off the field and that can be part of

45
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 1: it too. But now I just think, uh, you know,

46
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 1: our run defense was priority number one coming into the season.

47
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 1: You know, I think the players and coaches have done

48
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 1: an outstanding job. Um you know, just we're playing it differently, um,

49
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 1: you know than we did last year. I mean, you know,

50
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 1: we were more in a transition to what we wanted

51
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 1: to look like this year. And I think Dan is

52
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 1: you know, hammers at each and every day and and uh,

53
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: you know, once again, I just think our guys understand it.

54
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,799
Speaker 1: That's the starting point of of any great defense. I

55
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: see you looked at the Patriots offense. What's the ut actions. Well,

56
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 1: I'll tell you he's for young for young quarterback, and

57
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 1: you can see the command. Uh you know, he's definitely comfortable.

58
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 1: Um in it's uh, it's an offense that's you know,

59
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: game plan specific. Each week, it's different, you know. So

60
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 1: when you look you look at their whole body of

61
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: work from the season, you see a lot of scheme.

62
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: So I think that is definitely a compliment to him

63
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: as a young quarterback that he's he's handled a pretty seamlessly.

64
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 1: But you know, he knows where to go with the ball.

65
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: You know he's you know, they're they're more two back offense.

66
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: UM in you know, they early games and we've seen

67
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: to date, so you know, that'll be something that we're

68
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: focused on. But UM, I think I think he looks

69
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: very comfortable in their in their system. I count familiarity

70
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: with some of the contents. And then John Browden emails

71
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: and do you feel like those kinds of thoughts are

72
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: pervasive around the league or isolated? Um on Sam have

73
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: until thought of, you know, but you know what was

74
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: said or so forth. But I definitely am aware. I think,

75
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 1: you know, first of all, I think it's a reminder

76
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: that we all need to treat each other better. You know,

77
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 1: I think that's the first thing that comes to mind.

78
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 1: I think it's a very very disappointing situation, UM where

79
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 1: you know, people are offended, um number of people also affected.

80
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: But I also, as a position in leadership, uh in

81
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: this league, you know, in society, UH, it comes with

82
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: a lot of a you know, very high level of

83
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 1: accountability and uh, you know, and that's something that's a privilege,

84
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: and you know, I think it's something that we all

85
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 1: we all recognize. So it's disappointing. Um, it's very unfortunate.

86
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: How do you feel like more replaced culture as evolved

87
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: in your time? I'm sorry to the first part. How

88
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 1: do you feel like workplace culture in the NFL as

89
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 1: evolved in your time in the league. Well, I think

90
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 1: it's clearly, Um, there's clearly more education and involve you

91
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 1: in my time. My first year in the league was

92
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:04,719
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety three, So definitely the awareness and education is there. Um.

93
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: But you know, I think, like anything, as you know

94
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: our society, we can all treat each other better. I

95
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,239
Speaker 1: think that's been evident what's been going on of late.

96
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 1: And you know, this is a very disappointing situation that

97
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:20,160
Speaker 1: we can learn from. What if you learn your your

98
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 1: terminal lying about the importance of language carefully as Enarn

99
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 1: said the last provolume close about the importance and language

100
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 1: and is trying impowering implosit environment. Oh, I just think

101
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 1: it comes down to you know, calmon, common respect, And

102
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 1: I think it's you know, uh, you have to be aware,

103
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 1: you know and and and you know your your your

104
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,040
Speaker 1: thoughts and your words you know they matter. So I mean,

105
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: you know it reflects you know, your your position and

106
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:52,600
Speaker 1: in what you're trying to get done. And you know

107
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: you want when you talk about culture and workplace, um,

108
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: you know you want the positive energy and then in

109
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 1: the environment to thrive so everybody can be the best

110
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 1: that they can be. And you know, and it s

111
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: frankly comes back to my first statement. You know, we

112
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 1: just we need we need to treat each other better.

113
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: Talk to you to find a bit about the Friday

114
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: Regeneration program. And you mentioned soft tissue injuriesment later that

115
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 1: the other day. How much do you think soft tissue

116
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,359
Speaker 1: injuries are a little bit more of a risk based

117
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:27,719
Speaker 1: on the way the practice PRAM you have the parameter

118
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 1: for practice that you have, or or soft tissue injuries

119
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:34,839
Speaker 1: of potentially bigger problem just based on how much time

120
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:36,720
Speaker 1: you can have on the field that kind of thing.

121
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: Or no, you're talking about the preference to the CBA,

122
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 1: or yeah, I mean we're a nonrestricted time now you

123
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 1: took referring to training campro training camp, Well, I think

124
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 1: it's like anything in our game. I mean there's I

125
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 1: think the intent of what we're trying to do from

126
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 1: a player player safety perspective is obviously in the best

127
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 1: interests of you know, player health and safety, and it's

128
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 1: for the right reasons. But I you know, we all

129
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: operate under the same guidelines and rules and limitations. So, um,

130
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 1: I think it's a lot there's a lot more education involved.

131
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 1: But you know, I think the players today, you know,

132
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: the outsourcing is as far as their opportunity away from

133
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 1: the organization, there's a there's a lot of availability there. Um. So,

134
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I think all that factors into it. But

135
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 1: but in season, um, you know, my experience, my personal experiences,

136
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 1: you probably have to guard more against doing too much

137
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 1: than not enough. You know, I think we clearly have

138
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 1: reached the point of you know, conditioning where you know,

139
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 1: I feel really good about the conditioning level of our

140
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: football team. We're going to play a football team that's very,

141
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: very well conditioned. You know, it's always been a staple

142
00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 1: of the New England teams. Um. So you you know,

143
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: you want to get to that level and you want

144
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 1: to maintain it and you try to be as safe

145
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 1: and smart as you possibly can. But you have to

146
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: push the limits. You've got to have guidelines. We have

147
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 1: a we have a process and a system where you know,

148
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 1: we look at the GPS every single day at four o'clock.

149
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: It's evaluated, so we feel like we have quality information

150
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 1: and the feedback you know, mostly from the relationships with

151
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 1: our training staff and our strength conditioning staff is excellent.

152
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 1: So I mean, all those things go on and and

153
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 1: that's that's that's our approach using definitely. I think when

154
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 1: you watch them play, particularly on defense, um, you know

155
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,959
Speaker 1: they're they do a really good job of matchups. I

156
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 1: mean is frankly we're preparing for um, they will have

157
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 1: a distinct you know, pass rush plan, uh for our

158
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: offensive line, you know, in our past protection unit. So

159
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: how he matches up this week, you know what we

160
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:05,079
Speaker 1: anticipate and so forth goes into that. But he's clearly

161
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 1: we have him as the most disruptive player in their

162
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: front without a doubt. I mean, his numbers speak for themselves.

163
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 1: So you know, coming over from Baltimore, so you know,

164
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,719
Speaker 1: we we've we've tapped into some Baltimore tape. But you know,

165
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: I think the biggest thing is, you know, who's you

166
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 1: gonna line up on you know, and uh, they'll they'll

167
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 1: have it this thing playing for us. So that's that's

168
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 1: what we're focused on. Those lines. How to Steel handle himself,

169
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:32,199
Speaker 1: put the pass rushes in. He's still a really good job.

170
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 1: I mean, he's a very conscientious young player. Um, you know,

171
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 1: I think we all recognize the jump that he made

172
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 1: from year one of year two. I love the tenacity

173
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: and the strength that he's playing with this year compared

174
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,959
Speaker 1: to last year. So, um, he'll be challenged this week.

175
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure they'll, you know, with him being

176
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 1: a young player, I think Tyler will be another player

177
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 1: that they try to challenge. So, um, you know that

178
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 1: that's part of our preparation. So that's all the secrets

179
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 1: I'm giving out. So we need to quit this thing.

180
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 1: But it's always been an evolution of football. Something comes

181
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,679
Speaker 1: in the league and it's the range, and I think

182
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: it goes away in the team's figured out and you

183
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:08,079
Speaker 1: go from bear defense the temperature game along. Sorry, but

184
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 1: in today's game, do you think the offense is a

185
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 1: little bit ahead of where the defense is? Apparent? How

186
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 1: dictating where there are times where getting going back to

187
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:22,080
Speaker 1: bear of defense, you know they dictated how you played offense.

188
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: Rule changes how much that was gonna be my answer?

189
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: I think the role changes in the how you break

190
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 1: down the eras you know of of what of where

191
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:36,319
Speaker 1: we are today? Obviously space you know, the middle of

192
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 1: field has been opened up in today's game, So I

193
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:43,679
Speaker 1: think all those factors definitely tilt towards the offense. Um,

194
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 1: you know, and I think you see some changes, you know,

195
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:48,719
Speaker 1: cut cut blocking on the premier I don't see it

196
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,079
Speaker 1: as a huge advantage, but now that's gone away. So

197
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 1: you know, I think you have to look at all

198
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:57,319
Speaker 1: those variables in this. You know, I think the trends

199
00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 1: of you know, how defenses are playing offenses. You know,

200
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 1: you were you're you know, they're they're playing more sub defense,

201
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 1: which you have to I mean, I know the based

202
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 1: defense from up to the last two years, but you know,

203
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 1: prior to that, I mean you were probably in ten

204
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 1: eleven to twelve percent based defensive year defense a year.

205
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: But not what your point we were gonna make is

206
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 1: you see more base defensive schemes with sub personnel a

207
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 1: lot more you know, big nickel. You know everybody has

208
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 1: a form of big nickel. Uh, you know, we'll see

209
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,679
Speaker 1: it Sunday. So I think those are part of the

210
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,559
Speaker 1: trends you pay attention to. But um, you know, I

211
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 1: think you're seeing a lot more creativity and aggressive this

212
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:39,559
Speaker 1: with with space concepts from the offense today's game and

213
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 1: you saw probably five ten years ago, a lot is

214
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 1: moral and as that because offenses are going to spread

215
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,320
Speaker 1: out or that let's see the hit it guys coming

216
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: across the middle of I mean, it's it's difficult to

217
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 1: play the safety position with the crossing round when the

218
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 1: ball is thrown. I mean, let's let's I think we

219
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 1: have to acknowledge that, um so. And I think the

220
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 1: just just the fact that um you know, it's it's

221
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 1: it's a big part how you attack attack in the

222
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 1: passing game. I've I've always felt that the you know,

223
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 1: when you're building your base concepts, you know when you're

224
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 1: in the off season, you know the fastest way to

225
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 1: end zones through the post. So yeah, I mean you

226
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,559
Speaker 1: got to make sure you're you know, there's always uh

227
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 1: points of your attack where you're attack in the middle

228
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 1: of the field, you know. So I think sometimes you

229
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,079
Speaker 1: can get lulled into a game that we're getting ready

230
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 1: to play where you're throwing individual cuts all day and

231
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:32,319
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, they're gonna challenge You're

232
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 1: gonna challenge us, you know, um schematically and with their

233
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 1: man and man and so forth. But you get you

234
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:39,599
Speaker 1: got to make sure you're attacking all the quadrants of

235
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 1: the field. The advantages of that big nickel to bring

236
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:44,959
Speaker 1: it down in the third safety is just the variance

237
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:48,599
Speaker 1: about what you can do against personnel. It's just a

238
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 1: straight Well. I think it's you know, starts starts inside,

239
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 1: you know your your your ability to play more even techniques,

240
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 1: you know which better suited for runs versus A techniques

241
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 1: you know two or four versus you know, shading in

242
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 1: the three, So you get more better run defense techniques

243
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 1: inside with your you know which you would you normally

244
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:12,719
Speaker 1: get the base defense to do it. So it's it's

245
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:16,080
Speaker 1: a it's a better way to go to maintain matchups

246
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 1: on the number two and three receiver, uh, in the

247
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,959
Speaker 1: big nickel and still have the ability to to have

248
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 1: you know, a stronger, stronger normal D and D run

249
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 1: base developed. Hooker's done well. Yeah. I thought he played

250
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 1: his best game last week. Uh, you know, made a

251
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,840
Speaker 1: couple of impact plays. He looks comfortable. I think he's

252
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 1: feeling like he's back to where you know he was

253
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 1: prior to the injury. So I thought he played with

254
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,680
Speaker 1: a lot of confidence. Uh this past week I thought

255
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:44,440
Speaker 1: it great. Up what he thought. He greted out very

256
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 1: well the box maybe you anticipated before he got I

257
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:50,959
Speaker 1: think really the games dictate that and just you know

258
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 1: obviously who he's playing with and in the packages that, um,

259
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 1: you know, the competition to get up on on Sundays

260
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 1: is all part of that of the Rockster decisions this week.

261
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 1: I think with Sprinkle and Ralston, he might be out

262
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 1: of their just standard elevations and things. Yeah, we're I mean,

263
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 1: we've got a couple of combinations. We'll work, but you

264
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 1: know we won't. We won't make any decisions till two

265
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 1: fifty nine on Saturday. Rachel let us gone, Yeah, call us.

266
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 1: They'll be on the plane sleeping. We talked often about

267
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 1: the other system team and and how do you get

268
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 1: for each other with the receivers, And of course they

269
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 1: still want about is that unique to this team, that

270
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 1: something as you did to these guys or have you

271
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 1: seen a team like business? I mean, it's what you want,

272
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 1: I mean, it's and definitely we're definitely very high in

273
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 1: that area. You know. I love that about our players. Um,

274
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,119
Speaker 1: you know, I look at it from the offensive perspective.

275
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 1: You know, I'm in the offensive system that I've always

276
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 1: been um, been been around and you know, in front

277
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 1: of what we build here is you know, the systems

278
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 1: built around making a quarterback successful. So and it starts

279
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 1: there and it stops there, and you know, and that's

280
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 1: the way it was with with Brettan Aaron and green Bay.

281
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 1: So um, the ball. The ball needs to be spread around,

282
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 1: and that's doing a tremendous job of that. Our bald

283
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 1: distribution is is exactly what I'm looking for in the

284
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 1: first five games. And we'll definitely be challenged this week

285
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 1: because of you know, the man and man that we're

286
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 1: expecting for them to challenge us. So UM, And I

287
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 1: think with that, I mean, it's it's a philosophical approach

288
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 1: and uh, it's you know, it's made clear and when

289
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 1: we started this and and Dak's leading the way, and

290
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 1: you know that's part of it. But I think to

291
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 1: the personal part of it, I think it talks about

292
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 1: the type of men that we have. I mean, these

293
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 1: guys want to win. I mean, even the players that

294
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 1: have had it, you know, high individual success here in

295
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 1: the past, it's it's about winning and that's all matters.

296
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 1: And as long as it stays that way, I think

297
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 1: our continued success we have it, we have a great chance. Yes,

298
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 1: that we all defens well, the dedans mind and life.

299
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 1: I mean the linebackers certainly these says, you know, they're

300
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 1: all of the kind of moves to each other. Yeah, definitely.

301
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: I mean it's probably more so on defense. I was

302
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 1: just using the offense as an example. I mean, you

303
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 1: look at the number of players that have played on defense,

304
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 1: and you know the rotation that you have to have

305
00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 1: over the course of a you know, seventeen plus game season.

306
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 1: I think the rotation up front is you know, we

307
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 1: have projected you know, playtime each and every week, and

308
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 1: we've done a good job staying to that, and I

309
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 1: think it's definitely been a benefit for us and with

310
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 1: our front people. And you look safety position, you know,

311
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 1: different personnel groups, so you know the linebacker position too.

312
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 1: I mean, this is the most depth of a linebacker

313
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 1: group that I've been a part of, and just trying

314
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 1: to keep all those guys involved is uh. I think

315
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 1: it'll definitely service well each week, but definitely service service

316
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 1: a lot better in the long run. Henry has become

317
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 1: a viral hyder. Henry has become a back built well.

318
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 1: I think both the tight ends you know, I think anytime,

319
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 1: particularly if you're developing a young quarterback, I'm mean, the

320
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 1: easiest your best throws are right in front of you.

321
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 1: So you know, I've always been a big proponent of

322
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 1: of tight ends, multiple tight ends, because I think with

323
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 1: that it's you know, drive starters, easy completions. You know,

324
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 1: there's um and great, won't be any this week, but

325
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 1: I think there's usually some free offense out there that

326
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 1: you're looking for when you're in game planning. Um, but

327
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 1: you know, but both you know, Hunter and Smith have

328
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 1: a chance to really stretch the field and their ability

329
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,879
Speaker 1: to make plays on a second level. So it's definitely

330
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:14,399
Speaker 1: something that you have to be in touch with from

331
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 1: a matchup standpoint that Colt Robbery and Claire's talking about

332
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 1: and guys and talked about kind of special chemistry here.

333
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:22,399
Speaker 1: Did you notice that as much last year? It was

334
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 1: that hard to know as or established last year because

335
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:27,880
Speaker 1: you know, I really liked the team last year because

336
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 1: they as for as much as we went through I mean,

337
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,440
Speaker 1: you go through a versity every year, but I was

338
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 1: definitely on the high high end of it. That don't

339
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 1: know my personal experience. You know, they never wavered you know,

340
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:41,879
Speaker 1: they hung in there and just kept kept fighting, you know,

341
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:46,120
Speaker 1: all the way through and so um so I knew

342
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,440
Speaker 1: I had that, you know, I knew we had that

343
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 1: those capabilities in the locker room. And I think just

344
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 1: with the off season, you could feel the vibe coming together.

345
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 1: I thought the work in the off season was expensive

346
00:17:57,359 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 1: for me personally, but it was. It was really good

347
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 1: and the way the way you guys any day, everybody

348
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 1: got that. But there's um so, you know, I thought

349
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,200
Speaker 1: that the vibe was really coming together, and I thought

350
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 1: a training camp. I think going to Oxnard helps. You know,

351
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 1: I can't believe I just said that, but it does

352
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 1: help going out there and and you know, just the camaraderie,

353
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 1: just the environment that you have there. So you can

354
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,920
Speaker 1: feel the building. But let's be honest, it takes wins

355
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 1: to for that to really the manifest to the level

356
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 1: that where it's at out That's why we're talking about it.

357
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 1: But it's a long year. We got a lot of

358
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 1: challenges in front of us. We've got a big one Sunday,

359
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:34,920
Speaker 1: so but you could definitely feel the vibe building, you know,

360
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:42,199
Speaker 1: throughout the offseason. Thank you get out pick it up

361
