1
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:08,119
Speaker 1: Welcome to this Tuesday edition of the From the Podium podcast.

2
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:10,600
Speaker 1: I'm Gabe Klea. The Browns are off today, but they'll

3
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:14,159
Speaker 1: be back tomorrow to begin Week four preparations for the

4
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:17,160
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions. On this episode, you'll hear from head coach

5
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:21,279
Speaker 1: Kevin Stefanski, center Ethan Posk, and cornerback Greg Newsom. The

6
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 1: second we'll start with head coach Kevin Stefanski, who gave

7
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 1: an injury update following Week three's game against the Packers Injuries.

8
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 2: Dwan Jones. His injury will require surgery, so he's out

9
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:34,520
Speaker 2: for the season, which is disappointing for the young man.

10
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 2: So he'll battle back, he'll rehab, and he'll be ready

11
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 2: to roll, but disappointed for him the game itself, obviously,

12
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:49,200
Speaker 2: like we talked about yesterday, the effort for sixty minutes,

13
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,959
Speaker 2: all sixty minutes were required, and really pleased with how

14
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 2: the guys fought and hung in there and endured and

15
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,279
Speaker 2: were resilient, and then you come away with a win

16
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 2: versus a really good football team. So we're spending time

17
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,680
Speaker 2: today learning from that win, things that we can do better,

18
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 2: and then we'll move on to Detroit here shortly.

19
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 3: With that I'll take any questions.

20
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:12,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, Kevin, can you give us any details? Does he

21
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 4: have a torn a cl or what happened with DeWind?

22
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 3: Yeah?

23
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 2: I don't have all those specifics, Mary kay, but it's

24
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 2: a knee injury.

25
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 3: But disappointing.

26
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 4: And can you I mean, just how well was DeWind

27
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,320
Speaker 4: starting to come along and how much were you guys

28
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 4: really kind of counting on him to lock down that

29
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 4: left tackle position this season?

30
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 2: Obviously a young player that was getting better in played

31
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 2: right in the last game obviously for those plays before

32
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 2: he was injured, but he's played on both sides.

33
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 3: So yeah, disappointed overall for.

34
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 2: The young man, but he's somebody that will continue to

35
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 2: work and now he's just going to have to focus

36
00:01:58,880 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 2: on his rehab.

37
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 3: But disappoint him too quick.

38
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 5: He's number one. What's the status of Conkline this week, Kevin.

39
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll see.

40
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:08,959
Speaker 2: I'd say it's well day to day, so we'll see

41
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,519
Speaker 2: how he's feeling as each day goes by, But he's progressing.

42
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 5: I other questions about Huntington. He looks like such a

43
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 5: weapon offensive league, wondering could you enlarge his role beyond

44
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 5: short yardage.

45
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 2: Plays potentially, you know, we with our players, were always

46
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:30,919
Speaker 2: looking for guys that can do different things and have versatility.

47
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 2: And he's playing good defense for us, Tony, he's making

48
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,239
Speaker 2: a contribution on special teams, and obviously he's making a

49
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 2: contribution on offense as well. So with young players, you

50
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 2: always want to bring them along, but there's we're always

51
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 2: looking for guys that can give you versatility.

52
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 6: Hey, Kevin, with on that play that Dwan got hurt,

53
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 6: did the guy go low?

54
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 3: Like?

55
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 6: Is that supposed to be a penalty?

56
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 2: You know, we'll turn that in for their interpretation of

57
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 2: that you're not allowed to go low?

58
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 3: Now.

59
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 2: I don't believe that that their player was intending to

60
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 2: hurt our player. I know that's not the case. But

61
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 2: we'll turn that into the league and find out what

62
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 2: they say.

63
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 6: And I know Jack's availability has a role in this,

64
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 6: but how do you proceed going to tackle either way

65
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 6: without doing.

66
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 3: Just work with the guys we got and have a

67
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:18,079
Speaker 3: plan and get them ready.

68
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,519
Speaker 6: I mean, would it would it still be Corneos and

69
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 6: Kat's the two top guys you think?

70
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 3: Yeah? All things that we have to work through.

71
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 7: Hey, Kevin Andre shared with us his story about about

72
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 7: his mom. My question is how difficult is that for

73
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 7: players to block things out like that? And how as

74
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 7: you as a head coach, can can you help guys

75
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 7: with those situations?

76
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 3: Well? I hope so can help them.

77
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 2: But man, you know you, just as you know Jeff,

78
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 2: everybody's you're always going through something in life, and everybody's

79
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 2: got things going on, and a lot of times we

80
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 2: don't know.

81
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 3: What people are going through.

82
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 2: And and but always with our players, whatever they're going through,

83
00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 2: you try to be there for them all the time.

84
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 2: And that was something and uh, you know that happened

85
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 2: during the summer and reached out to Andre and obviously

86
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 2: then we got back together at training camp. But uh,

87
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 2: he's he's a he's a resolute young man and really

88
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 2: proud of how he came through, uh for that team yesterday.

89
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 3: Uh, and he's been through a lot, like we've talked about.

90
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 7: I guess that's what I asking you. How, of course

91
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 7: you can, but how do you develop those close relationships

92
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 7: with players that really have nothing to do with on

93
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 7: field strategy?

94
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 2: Well, I think that's our job as coaches. Uh, certainly

95
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 2: our job in this building with the resources we have,

96
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 2: we want to be available to our players all the

97
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 2: time and we care about the people. You want players

98
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 2: to play well on Sunday, you better care about the

99
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 2: person and uh, you know that's nothing. Uh, it's not

100
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 2: complicated in that. We just want to make sure that

101
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 2: we're there for our for our players.

102
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 8: Hey, Kevin, just thinking about the performance that you guys

103
00:04:55,560 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 8: got from that d line yesterday. How key do you

104
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 8: think it was? That pressure was coming from so many guys,

105
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 8: so many different plays. It wasn't like one person just

106
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 8: necessarily dominating.

107
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 2: Well, I think that's a testament to that group. Actually,

108
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:16,479
Speaker 2: I think the talent from everybody out there.

109
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 3: We feel like everybody can win.

110
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:20,840
Speaker 2: As you know, Miles Garrett gets a lot of attention,

111
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 2: so there are opportunities for other guys to win when

112
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 2: they do want to slide to him or bring a

113
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 2: tight end to him, or bring a running back to him.

114
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 2: Miles can still win in those situations as we've seen,

115
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 2: but it does free other guys up to have that

116
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 2: one on one matchup or you know, run a game

117
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 2: with another player and win. So they all play together.

118
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:44,159
Speaker 2: But having a deep group there allows us also to

119
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 2: stay fresh throughout those games.

120
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 8: Miles was going to be my follow up because you

121
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 8: know there's screen grabs and stuff going around of him

122
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 8: having you know, three guys trying to block him back.

123
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 8: It looks like at one point one of the tackles

124
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,720
Speaker 8: had an arm around his neck yesterday and he still

125
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 8: got home for that half a sack. Like, is there

126
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 8: anything at this point for you as a coach that

127
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 8: you see these opposing offenses due to Miles that surprises

128
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 8: you in any way?

129
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 3: No, I wouldn't say surprised, Ashley.

130
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:14,840
Speaker 2: It's every team goes into playing us and says we

131
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 2: have to have a plan for number ninety five, And

132
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:20,480
Speaker 2: like we talked about, it can be sliding to them

133
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 2: all the time. It can be making sure there's a

134
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 2: tight end over there or running back that you know

135
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 2: is their prerogative what they want to do. I guess

136
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 2: the point is he plays through all that and we

137
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 2: use him in variety of ways and then it does

138
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 2: the impact that it has on the other players. It's

139
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 2: why he's the defensive Player of the Year, just for

140
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 2: perpetuity in my opinion.

141
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 9: Hey, Kevin, just for a guy like Shelby Harris with

142
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 9: what he's able to do on special teams, with the

143
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 9: kick block and everything. Twelve year veteran how much does

144
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 9: that prolong at guy's career being able to have a

145
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 9: skill like.

146
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 2: That, well, I think that was number six for him

147
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:02,160
Speaker 2: in his career. So yeah, it's a real thing talking

148
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:06,479
Speaker 2: about preventing points in that skill and also the ability

149
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 2: to do it when batting down passes.

150
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 3: So it's definitely a tool in his toolbox.

151
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 2: Not a lot of guys have the ability or the awareness,

152
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 2: to the savviness to do that, to strength, the length,

153
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 2: all those things, so it's very impressive.

154
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 9: And then just with Bond, it seems like him and

155
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 9: Jell have developed a nice rapport despite him being here

156
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 9: for just a month. Just what have you thought of

157
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 9: his development so far?

158
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he's had an increased role in terms

159
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 2: of reps in each of these games, and I think

160
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 2: that will continue. Again, young player, like you mentioned, and

161
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 2: then it takes some time. It takes some time to

162
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 2: rhythm up with the quarterback, to rhythm up with the offense.

163
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 2: To his credit, this is a very very very intelligent

164
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 2: young man, so we can really use him in a

165
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 2: variety of ways and locations, if you will. But those

166
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 2: young players, over the course of a season, you do

167
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 2: oftentimes see that role expand and then.

168
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 9: Just well, the compliments this week continue and just what

169
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 9: did what was the mode last week of just doing

170
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 9: that and having everybody compliment each other.

171
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:14,679
Speaker 3: Well, that's a great question, Joe. We'll see ken.

172
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 10: Going back to Andre for a second, we've seen the

173
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 10: roller coaster that it can be for a kicker in

174
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 10: the NFL this season, not just with your team, but

175
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 10: we've already seen, you know, both sides of things with

176
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 10: Andre in his first three games. So for you kind

177
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 10: of thinking introspectively, like what does it say about the

178
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 10: position in the league, both on the individual level for

179
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 10: the kicker and for you guys trying to find consistency

180
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 10: at that position.

181
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 2: Well, I think the big thing there, Cam is rookie

182
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 2: kickers sometimes you'll miss a kick, you'll miss an extra point.

183
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 2: I think the numbers will probably bear that out. You

184
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 2: want everybody to be perfect right away, but it's just

185
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,679
Speaker 2: how the position works. So we have confidence in this

186
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:57,439
Speaker 2: young kid. I get to see him every day, Like

187
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,560
Speaker 2: I've told you guys, I watch him kick and practice,

188
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 2: I watch he hits the ball in the games, and

189
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 2: you know what, we're confident in his ability.

190
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 10: Talked to his kicking coach, Andrew's kicking coach and Hall

191
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 10: of famers about what it takes to be go from

192
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 10: a good kicker to a great kicker to an elite kicker,

193
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 10: and they said one of the big things is really

194
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 10: just the mental part, sticking to the process and leaning

195
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 10: on your teammates. And I know he's got Corey in

196
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 10: there for Andre in particular as a rookie, Like, what

197
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,680
Speaker 10: does that look like for him? How have you seen

198
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 10: him maybe lean on the coaches, lean on his teammates

199
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:32,679
Speaker 10: in those moments.

200
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 3: Yeah. I think again, the greatest team sport there is.

201
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 2: I know a lot of the spotlight comes on you

202
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 2: when you're attempting a kick or you're the quarterback or

203
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 2: whatever it is, and but we realize this is a

204
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 2: team game, and you know, we need everybody to come

205
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 2: through in those moments. So it's never going to be

206
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 2: about one person, and we'll support our teammates always.

207
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 11: Heykevin, I wanted to ask about the late game sequence

208
00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 11: where you're hurrying to spike the ball and time to

209
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 11: give Andre that chance to kick the ball. We see

210
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 11: every practice of training camp, so we see that you

211
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 11: guys work on that, But during the season, I mean,

212
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:12,079
Speaker 11: how often are you kind of drilling that to stay prepared.

213
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, and this is not every team does this,

214
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 2: but we work a lot of situations throughout training camp,

215
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,560
Speaker 2: and then Fridays are when we do a two minute

216
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:24,439
Speaker 2: drill competitively offense versus defense. Then we do a two

217
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 2: minute walk through on Saturdays, and the offense and the

218
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 2: defense separately cover a lot of those situations every Saturday.

219
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 2: So those are things that are just and again I

220
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 2: believe this is true of all thirty two. You just

221
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 2: you hit those situations every week.

222
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 3: Got you?

223
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 11: And I wanted to ask a separate question about Joe.

224
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 11: I mean, there's some stats out there that show that

225
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 11: you know, he has like a like a eight eight

226
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 11: quarterback rating or eight passer rating when pressured.

227
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 12: We know what and you said it yourself.

228
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 11: It's not just on Joe, But what more can you do,

229
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 11: especially for someone who you know, not knows fleet of foot,

230
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 11: doesn't have, you know, elite mobility, to try to make

231
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 11: things easier from and give them those clean pockets.

232
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's our job as coaches is to design game

233
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:09,079
Speaker 2: plans that allow our guys to have success. Obviously, with

234
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 2: the passing game, you want to your quarterback to be

235
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 2: clean and be able to make those decisions from clean

236
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 2: pockets as much as you can.

237
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 3: But that's really that's our focus.

238
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:23,680
Speaker 4: Kevin, just wondering what gives you confidence that Joe and

239
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 4: this passing offense can kind of get on track and

240
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 4: get rolling here as you move forward.

241
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, we just have to stay on top of it,

242
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 2: Mary Kay, And I think you see throughout the course

243
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 2: of a season, units, offense, defense, special teams, units can

244
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:40,200
Speaker 2: improve throughout the season. I think there's things that we

245
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 2: are doing better now than we were doing in week one.

246
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 2: I think there's still things that we can improve upon,

247
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 2: and that's our focus.

248
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 5: Two quick ones again, going back to that spike play.

249
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 5: You credit the center for getting them together or was

250
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 5: it the quarterback who got them together so quickly?

251
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 2: Well, as we teach it, Tony, you know, the first

252
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:03,559
Speaker 2: part is the player with the ball getting down immediately

253
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,839
Speaker 2: and then standing up and handing the ball to the center,

254
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 2: not throwing it. The center is allowed to then look

255
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 2: to the side judge where the ball is spotted. He

256
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 2: can spot the ball. You have to then make room,

257
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 2: let the umpire touch the ball and then be set

258
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 2: for one count and you have to be in a

259
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:22,559
Speaker 2: legal formation out the receivers on the ball. Every player

260
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 2: has to be facing forward. So those are all the

261
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,439
Speaker 2: things that we work on. But you see it around

262
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 2: the league. The centers nowadays do a great job off

263
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 2: They spot the ball. They look to the sideline and

264
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 2: spot the ball in that play.

265
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:36,719
Speaker 5: Yeah, and yesterday's game reminded me so much of your

266
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 5: win against the forty nine ers two years ago. They

267
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 5: came in undefeated of six week of the season. Purdy

268
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 5: was going crazy and your defense stopped him. It turned

269
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 5: out that game kind of altered that season because you

270
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 5: end up winning four out of five immediately after that game.

271
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 5: Do you believe in games can alter a season, even

272
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 5: this early in the season.

273
00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 2: I try not to think about it that way, Tony.

274
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 2: I just I'm probably the wrong person to ask. It's

275
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 2: a good question, but you probably asked somebody else. I'm

276
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 2: I got the blinders on.

277
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 6: Okay, Hey, Kevin, I got too. How do you balance

278
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 6: you know, protecting your defense and putting in good spots

279
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 6: and punting versus getting too conservative offensively?

280
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, we have to score points.

281
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,319
Speaker 2: You don't want to just constantly put your defense in

282
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 2: that those positions. So our job as an offense is

283
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 2: to end drive, every drive with a kick and presumably

284
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,560
Speaker 2: a pat if you know, that's your number one goal.

285
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 2: But that's you know, that's that's our focus on our offense.

286
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:37,440
Speaker 6: And then at the end of the half, what went

287
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 6: in the decision not to try a real long field

288
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 6: goal versus trying to throw it up there at the end.

289
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, the first half, Yeah, thought about it, just felt

290
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 2: like that was too long a field goal with the

291
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 2: amount of time left where that that put the ball

292
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,200
Speaker 2: at the spot of the field goal, as you know,

293
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:54,079
Speaker 2: So just didn't feel like that was the right thing

294
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 2: to do in that moment, and you know, took a

295
00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 2: shot there and obviously, you know, the the risk is

296
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 2: that it's incomplete and they get the ball for a

297
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 2: hail Mary, but understood that in the moment.

298
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:10,319
Speaker 1: Up next, center, Ethan Posik discussed the strong start to

299
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 1: quinch on Judkins's NFL career.

300
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 4: Yes, Ethan, we did just find out this morning or

301
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 4: just a little bit ago actually that that Dewand is

302
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 4: out for the season with season injury ending knee injury.

303
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 4: So just wondering, I know you're probably pretty close to him,

304
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 4: and just what what are your thoughts and reactions to that.

305
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 13: Yeah, just praying for him, praying that he'll have a

306
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 13: smooth like recovery and that mentally and physically but mentally

307
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 13: that he's okay. And it's just it's just tough to

308
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 13: end up on ir and h you just hate to

309
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 13: see it.

310
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 4: And how hard did he work to come back strong

311
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 4: this year? Mean, he lost a bunch of weight, he

312
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 4: was coming off the broken leg. I think, I mean

313
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 4: it seemed like he was really ready to kind of

314
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 4: get back out there and be everything you guys needed

315
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 4: him to be.

316
00:14:58,520 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was.

317
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 12: He was trying hard, working hard. Uh, he was in

318
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 12: here a lot.

319
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 13: So it's, uh, it's just one of those unfortunate situations.

320
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 13: It's a it's a rough game, rough business, and it's

321
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 13: just part of it. So you know, it's just it's

322
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 13: how you respond to those situations. Then.

323
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 10: I feel like last time we talked it was about

324
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 10: the depth piece and the next man up mentality. So

325
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 10: now you know with the wand out for the season,

326
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 10: Uh no, Kat and Cornelius got in there. What have

327
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 10: you seen from those guys is they stay ready to

328
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 10: be ready for their for the neverbody be called and

329
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 10: how they do uh against the Packers, Yeah.

330
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 13: They did great, KT's like super strong. Uh so he's

331
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 13: like really good run blocker. And then he's a young player,

332
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 13: so he's got a lot of a lot of room

333
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 13: to grow. Like he did great and I think like

334
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 13: he has a lot of potential as what I'm trying

335
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 13: to say, and uh, I'm really looking forward to seeing

336
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 13: him play. And then uh, you know cornelis Lucas, He's

337
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 13: a he you know, he's just he's sharp.

338
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 12: He knows what he's doing. Uh, he did a great.

339
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 13: Job out there for so you know, next man up mentality,

340
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 13: we feel, you know, we really.

341
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 12: Like our room.

342
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 10: How much more important is it now stressing that with

343
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 10: the things that you already have to you know, you

344
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 10: guys are looking to clean things up, gel on offense

345
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 10: and be more productive. How much more is that stress?

346
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 10: Knowing that it's the big picture is still not where

347
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 10: you want it to be.

348
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 13: Yeah, I would just say we just got to keep practicing,

349
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 13: like keep working, keep keep trusting the process, keep taking coaching,

350
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 13: keep keep being accountable, and uh, you know, I think

351
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 13: just the more we practice and everything, Like Quinn Shawn,

352
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 13: he's probably practiced like what like four or five times

353
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 13: and uh he's at you know, he's you know, averaging

354
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 13: like five yards to carry. So just the more we

355
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 13: can gel and like like just like practice and get

356
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 13: more reps. And I you know, KT's been here only

357
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 13: a few weeks now, like he doesn't you know, he's

358
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 13: still like learning the calls and which, you know, the

359
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:06,479
Speaker 13: little details and stuff. So it's you know, I wouldn't

360
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 13: say's stressed. I just say, like the reality is, we

361
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:10,399
Speaker 13: just got to keep working.

362
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 6: Hey, Ethan Kevin said he was going to turn in

363
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,639
Speaker 6: the play that Dowan got hurt onto the league because

364
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 6: they thought it was a penalty because the guy went low.

365
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,199
Speaker 6: So I'm asking you, when you're out there pulling like

366
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 6: on a screen or whatever, how vulnerable is it when

367
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 6: the defensive guys go low like that.

368
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 13: I would say it's more vulnerable now because you know

369
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,680
Speaker 13: they can't do it, so it's the last thing you're expecting.

370
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 13: So when it does happen, you are more vulnerable. When before,

371
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 13: when I was a young player, like you knew it

372
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:43,440
Speaker 13: could happen, so you would kind of be tuned to

373
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:46,440
Speaker 13: go lower. But now we're more tuned, they're gonna probably

374
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 13: like shake us most of the time. So yeah, it's

375
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 13: it's one of those things like because it is a rule,

376
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:54,479
Speaker 13: they can't do it.

377
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,399
Speaker 12: It kind of catches you blindly, so you're.

378
00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:58,920
Speaker 6: Surprised there wasn't a penalty called.

379
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,200
Speaker 13: I'm not the I'm not the one to sit here

380
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:02,959
Speaker 13: and play referee and all that stuff.

381
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,639
Speaker 12: You know, they got a hard job and everything. It

382
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 12: was a cut outside the tackle box.

383
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 8: But yeah, yeah, hey, Ethan and Joel was talking yesterday

384
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 8: about you know, everything he went through to be ready

385
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 8: to play with his back. I mean, just what's it

386
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 8: been like for you the last few years being his

387
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 8: teammate and seeing the kind of lengths he's willing to

388
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 8: go to as a veteran to do whatever it takes

389
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 8: to get out there.

390
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 13: Yeah, I'm blessed to be able to play next to him.

391
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:31,919
Speaker 13: Like he's gonna if he can go, he's gonna go.

392
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,119
Speaker 13: So like seeing him throughout the week, like getting it

393
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,399
Speaker 13: out of his car, I'm like, oh, man, like I

394
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 13: don't know, Like but then like you know, Sunday comes around,

395
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 13: he's just gonna find a way. Like So he's just

396
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 13: he's just super tough, super smart, super accountable, just a

397
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 13: just a good person, like great person, great football player,

398
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 13: And I believe all that stuff makes me so well rounded, Ethan.

399
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:58,199
Speaker 6: I wanted to ask you about Quinchan. You mentioned that

400
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 6: he'd only been here a little while. Kevin, you know,

401
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 6: referred to him as a volume runner yesterday, that he

402
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 6: gets better the more he touches the ball. How did

403
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:08,920
Speaker 6: you see that guessterday? I think he got eighteen carries,

404
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 6: So how do you see him as a game progresses

405
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:12,160
Speaker 6: get even stronger?

406
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 13: Yeah, I think the run game is really like an investment,

407
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:18,159
Speaker 13: Like you got to really wear him down and just

408
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 13: you know, sometimes like the score gets a certain way

409
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 13: and you can't do that. But I feel like the

410
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 13: run game, those like three four five yard runs they

411
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 13: turned into fourteen thirty as the game goes on, so

412
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 13: and it's it can slow down their pass for rush too.

413
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:37,360
Speaker 13: So definitely just keep chipping at him and and he's

414
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 13: like quin Shawn's the real deal. Like, so just getting

415
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 13: him the ball more and more. I feel like he's

416
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 13: getting more and more comfortable because he's really only been

417
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:46,399
Speaker 13: here a few weeks.

418
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:48,960
Speaker 6: What kind of juice did he give you when he

419
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 6: went fourteen and thirty eight? I think back to back there.

420
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 13: Yeah, he yeah, he sparked us. He sparked the offense,

421
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,239
Speaker 13: and you know, I think as a on, we've got

422
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:02,920
Speaker 13: to get him going early year, not get him going earlier,

423
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:04,959
Speaker 13: but like try to get those runs earlier.

424
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 1: Finally, quarterback gregnew him the second talked about shutting down

425
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 1: Green Bay's receiving corps.

426
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 6: How's it going?

427
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 3: Greg?

428
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 14: Doing good? Doing good? My boys is gone?

429
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:17,679
Speaker 6: Uh hey, we talked so much about interceptions and getting takeaways.

430
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 6: What was going through your head when you saw Grant

431
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 6: finally get that one that sets you up for the

432
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 6: time touchdown?

433
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 14: Yeah?

434
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 15: My first thing was where did he come from? Like

435
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,199
Speaker 15: as I was like, where did you come from? But

436
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 15: now it was it was super cool. I turned around

437
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 15: seeing him on the ground with the ball and it

438
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,440
Speaker 15: was just good for us being able to flip momentum

439
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 15: and he came through and we needed him the most.

440
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:43,399
Speaker 6: And on that block field goal, first of all, what

441
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 6: did you see? And did you think you're gonna have

442
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 6: a scooping score?

443
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 15: I did before the play Malik and Rocket and all

444
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,640
Speaker 15: of them was like, hey bro, when we blocked this

445
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 15: go score, I was like, I got you. So I

446
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 15: knew he was gonna block it, but the ball took

447
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,120
Speaker 15: I forgot. Coach said the ball is a certain shape

448
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 15: for good is some weird shape, and it took a

449
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,120
Speaker 15: bad balance on me. I thought I was gonna score,

450
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:14,199
Speaker 15: but I just wanted Dreda to win it for so

451
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 15: I helped him out there a little bit.

452
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 6: Got thanks.

453
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 8: Yeah, Greg, I was gonna ask, like, as as that

454
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:24,879
Speaker 8: play is transpiring, what was your view because in real time,

455
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 8: like there was almost some confusion. I think people initially

456
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 8: thought Denzel had kind of dove in there and blocked

457
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 8: it before everyone realized it was Shelby. So what what

458
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 8: did you see?

459
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 15: Yeah, I've seen first, I just seen in the pocket

460
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 15: just collapse. I think our field goal block the entire game,

461
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 15: like we could have blocked like three kicks. Just the pressure,

462
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 15: the pressure that they're generating inside as unbelievable. Ward actually

463
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:52,120
Speaker 15: got a piece of it too, He tipted a little.

464
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 14: Bit off off his finger.

465
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 15: And then when I seen the ball get hit, I

466
00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:00,159
Speaker 15: was just trying to do my best to get to it.

467
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,679
Speaker 8: And then just I mean on game, it felt like

468
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:07,480
Speaker 8: watching the d line that those guys were creating pressure

469
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:10,680
Speaker 8: from every which way and even like no matter what

470
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 8: the Packers were doing the miles, What was that like

471
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,879
Speaker 8: for you guys to see in the secondary for the

472
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:17,640
Speaker 8: whole afternoon.

473
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 14: I love.

474
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:23,120
Speaker 15: It makes my job a lot easier. So, you know,

475
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 15: those guys up front has been doing an amazing job

476
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:32,359
Speaker 15: this season. The ability to just rush for it's a

477
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:33,879
Speaker 15: hard thing to do in the NFL. A lot of

478
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 15: teams can't just do that. So for for our guys,

479
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 15: Malik Aiden got in there, Mason obviously, Miles, Jay, everybody, Alex.

480
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 14: We have an elite D line.

481
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 10: Group, speaking of Mason and Malik in particular in that interior,

482
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:54,440
Speaker 10: have you guys felt so I know it's a small

483
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 10: sample size, it's three games, but have you felt a

484
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 10: difference in what you guys are able to do up

485
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 10: front and how that trickles back to you guys in

486
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 10: the secondary from even last season just having their presence

487
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 10: in there and what they've been able to do in

488
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 10: these three games.

489
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 15: For sure, getting the leak was huge for us first

490
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 15: veteran player. He's super physical, like I watched the tape

491
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 15: and he's always around the ball.

492
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 14: And then Mason, he's been playing unbelievable.

493
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,119
Speaker 15: I think this game people were able to see his

494
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 15: pass rush moves a lot more and I'm glad he

495
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 15: was able to showcase that. But those guys definitely. We

496
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 15: always say Russian coverage work together. So they've been doing

497
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:37,120
Speaker 15: an amazing job up there.

498
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:40,120
Speaker 10: It's not your position, but it's one that you get

499
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 10: to celebrate when they are good, and then you have

500
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,680
Speaker 10: to kind of lift up when things don't go their way.

501
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 10: Andre obviously has that bounce back from week one. As

502
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 10: you see in the NFL, the position go through the

503
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:55,639
Speaker 10: highs and the lows. What's it like to watch that?

504
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 10: How difficult do you think it would be to be

505
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 10: in that position, to have all eyes on you and

506
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 10: then the intense criticism when things don't.

507
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 3: Go your way.

508
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 14: Yeah, super tough.

509
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 15: We always say there's there's really three positions on the

510
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 15: field that can win you and lose you a game.

511
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 15: That's cornerback, quarterback, and kicker. So you know all the

512
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:22,679
Speaker 15: eyes are on you, especially out there. I'm a kicker.

513
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:24,439
Speaker 15: But for him to bounce back like the way he

514
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 15: did just shows the type of character he has, shows

515
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 15: the mindset that he has. And you know, as soon

516
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,959
Speaker 15: as we got him in field position right away I

517
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 15: was on the bench, I say, yeas ball game, I

518
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:39,119
Speaker 15: already knew he was gonna come. I mean, he was

519
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 15: gonna show up for us, and he did an amazing job.

520
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, Greg, So did you lose your voice just in

521
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 4: the aftermath of like on the field or did it

522
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:49,879
Speaker 4: carry over even into the locker room? Is this common

523
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:51,480
Speaker 4: for you to lose your voice?

524
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 6: And does this just.

525
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:56,159
Speaker 4: Speak to how exciting, how fun that game was for

526
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 4: you and all the fans in attendance.

527
00:24:58,640 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 3: Oh?

528
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,360
Speaker 14: Yeah, I lose my game. I mean my voice every

529
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 14: single game.

530
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:08,160
Speaker 15: Like I'm always out there screaming, celebrating, yelling, but definitely

531
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:11,359
Speaker 15: just screaming after the game didn't help. And then in

532
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 15: the locker room just screaming all that. None of that helps.

533
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 15: But yeah, I tend to talk a lot during the game,

534
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 15: so I lose it every game.

535
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:25,920
Speaker 4: And what does a victory like this say about you guys?

536
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 4: As a football team.

537
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 14: We're resilient.

538
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:35,120
Speaker 15: No matter what happens, no matter what anyone thinks, We're

539
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:38,119
Speaker 15: a resilient group. And you know, we always play for

540
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 15: each other. We're never going to back down from any challenge.

541
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:43,639
Speaker 15: And you know, the skies a limit for us. We

542
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,880
Speaker 15: just got to continue to keep our head down, keep

543
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 15: working and and and try to keep stacking wins.

544
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 11: Last week we heard about, you know, these takeaway drills

545
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 11: that you guys do you know early in practice, I

546
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,399
Speaker 11: was wondering, like, for the DBS, for cornerbacks, what does

547
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 11: that look like for you guys? And I know sometimes

548
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 11: you need to just get like a lucky balance or

549
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 11: whatever in the game, but how do you think that

550
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 11: that translated over to game days.

551
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 15: Yeah, we do a lot of like second man and

552
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:13,479
Speaker 15: normally at corner where normally the second man in on

553
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 15: tackles just find ways to punch at the ball. I

554
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:19,359
Speaker 15: think Ward had a few great punches in the game.

555
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:23,160
Speaker 15: We do a lot of obviously catching the football when

556
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 15: it comes our way. Just continue to keep doing the

557
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:29,679
Speaker 15: same things each week because eventually there will be some

558
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:31,879
Speaker 15: in the air. We got to find a way to

559
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,119
Speaker 15: come down with though. So think b Lunch does a

560
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 15: great job. We're just allowing us to just work everything,

561
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 15: whether it's tackling, punching, tracking the d ball, a lot

562
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:42,679
Speaker 15: of that stuff.

563
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 8: Yeah, Greg, I mean, I know we've asked you about

564
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 8: the interception, but I mean for you guys as DBS,

565
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 8: just the fact that this ended the streak of like

566
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:54,919
Speaker 8: seven games without an interception. It ended the streak of

567
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:58,920
Speaker 8: four games without a takeaway like, how satisfying is that

568
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:02,119
Speaker 8: part of it that's not active anymore.

569
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:03,880
Speaker 14: I guess it's amazing.

570
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 15: And like I said, they come in bunches, so you know,

571
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:10,680
Speaker 15: you just got to try to get that first one.

572
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 15: Grant got that first one for us, and I think

573
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 15: they'll they'll start coming in in bunches.

574
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 14: I think the football guys are on our side right now.

575
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, Greg, two questions real quick, if you don't mind.

576
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:24,639
Speaker 4: The first one is, I know this is the other

577
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 4: side of the ball, but you guys are family, so

578
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 4: you know, how do you feel about the news that

579
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 4: Dwand is out for the season with a knee injury

580
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 4: that will require surgery.

581
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 14: Yeah, that's tough. I actually just found out.

582
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,919
Speaker 15: Definitely got to reach out to them, but definitely a

583
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,920
Speaker 15: loss for us, big loss for us. The guy that's

584
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 15: been been working his tail off. You you obviously never

585
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 15: think any of that's gonna happen. You don't prepare for

586
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 15: anything like that. But I will definitely be with them

587
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:57,399
Speaker 15: the entire time through his recovery process. I'm just just

588
00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 15: trying to keep his spirits up.

589
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:02,200
Speaker 4: And then my second question is I saw even Pat

590
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 4: McAfee tweet today, Uh, the Browns are not. I think

591
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:12,399
Speaker 4: it was a s S family zoom here, and so

592
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 4: my question is do you feel like a victory over

593
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:22,159
Speaker 4: the packers? Uh? Gave you guys some some street credibility

594
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 4: a little bit and people can maybe now see that

595
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 4: this is a little different than people thought it might be.

596
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 14: I think it really.

597
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 15: I think it gave viewers we we already know what

598
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:37,239
Speaker 15: we what we have, like we're dominant, Like is it

599
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 15: like we know that that's that's what we pride ourselves on.

600
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 15: So we don't really look for outside reassurance like we

601
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 15: know what we got. So, like I said, people just

602
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 15: got to continue to tune in and watch. We're gonna

603
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 15: we're gonna find a way to win this week. We're

604
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 15: gonna we're gonna work hard this week and we'really Keith stacking.

605
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 14: Them and you know people will join the bandwagon soon.
