Backed up with tape and the 27 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,480 Speaker 3: plan and they executed. 28 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,520 Speaker 2: Season Kyle let Klay called the offensive plays. 29 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:09,160 Speaker 1: What was that in part so that he could kind 30 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:11,680 Speaker 1: of listen in with you? And did you get extra 31 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:12,440 Speaker 1: help from him or at. 32 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 2: Least just input and you know, getting getting that part 33 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:15,840 Speaker 2: of things down at all? 34 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:22,199 Speaker 1: Why Kyle let Koob do it? Oh? I don't. 35 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,680 Speaker 3: I mean, Kyle has been great with me this whole time, 36 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:27,360 Speaker 3: and then like I've said before, it's been really fun 37 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 3: in this position to be able to talk a lot 38 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 3: with the offensive guys too, and when doing scripts and 39 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 3: you're scripting with the offense during training camp, you have 40 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 3: to be more connected with them. So I was really 41 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 3: talking a lot with Koob and some with Lombardi and Kyle. 42 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 3: But regardless, I think that communication was there. Why he 43 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 3: did what he did, I don't know, you could ask him, 44 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 3: but I think a lot of it was. 45 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 1: You know, Coob's done a great job too. 46 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 3: But I've enjoyed learning a lot just being more connected, 47 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 3: like I said, with Kub and with Kyle, and he's 48 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 3: always trying to teach you and challenge you. And that's 49 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,960 Speaker 3: what's been really awesome just being here period, like as 50 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 3: a Niner the last three years, not just in the 51 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 3: last you know, six months. 52 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 1: Were the hallmarks of the Kevin O'Connell offense. 53 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 3: I mean it's very similar to a lot of the 54 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:15,639 Speaker 3: things that they do with the Rams. You know, it's 55 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 3: been around for a while and it's been really successful. 56 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 3: And I think with you know, uh Sam, that he's 57 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:24,920 Speaker 3: he's a good quarterback and we've seen that and I 58 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 3: think he brings a lot of those qualities obviously with 59 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 3: the pieces he has with Aaron Jones and with Justin Jefferson. 60 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 3: You know, he has a lot of those things that 61 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 3: you know, make that offense special. And we've got to 62 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:37,960 Speaker 3: be really detailed in what we do. 63 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 4: How much how much communication do you have with Kyle 64 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 4: in game? 65 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 5: Like on on Monday night, Like, how much are you going. 66 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:45,080 Speaker 1: Back and forth? Oh? In game? 67 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 3: No, he's busy in game. Yeah yeah, yeah, that's totally different. 68 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 3: Even now, he's really busy. It's just when we can 69 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 3: catch moments to you know, talk about stuff. 70 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,960 Speaker 1: We tried to in the preseason games though you guys 71 00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 1: during the game a little bit a little I don't 72 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,119 Speaker 1: remember it being like a ton. 73 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 4: And that after that the Jets touchdown, try that you 74 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 4: guys made make adjrustments for some adjustments after that is 75 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,399 Speaker 4: that the case or was it more just better execution 76 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 4: of what you're doing. 77 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 3: I think it's always a combination of things. There's always 78 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 3: something that goes wrong, you know, when people are sustaining drives, 79 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 3: whether it's execution or just communication. 80 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 1: It's you know, the league. 81 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,360 Speaker 3: Is so detailed, there's always such a little things that 82 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,920 Speaker 3: happened that you might not be able to see, you 83 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 3: know when you're just watching it, but you know there 84 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 3: was for whatever reason. It wasn't ever one thing, just 85 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 3: like it never is. And yeah, we're always correcting them 86 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 3: on the sideline, and the guys did a really good 87 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 3: job of responding. I think the best thing about it, 88 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 3: I think in this game was how our guys played 89 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 3: as a group. I think they felt confident, they played fast, 90 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 3: and we always hope that that shows up on tape, 91 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 3: is how. 92 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 1: Hard our guys play and how fast. 93 00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 5: Familiarly are with you know, Samar with the Jets, and 94 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 5: I realized he wasn't in a wonderful situation there. But 95 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 5: I mean, if you can't speak to that and how 96 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 5: good luck, like say last week, I mean, do you see, 97 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 5: like wow, he's done this, this and this so much better. 98 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 5: He's a much better quarterback or did you kind of 99 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 5: see stuff like he had that potential with the Jets, 100 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 5: but you know. 101 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 1: He wasn't in a great situation. 102 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 3: I don't know a ton about the situation, but I 103 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 3: do know which is why he was drafted so high, 104 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:27,279 Speaker 3: is how much talent he has. 105 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 1: I mean, he's a really good athlete. If you watch 106 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:30,159 Speaker 1: him throw, he can throw. 107 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,159 Speaker 3: I think there's always a lot of things that go into, 108 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 3: you know, having success. There's so many guys on the 109 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,839 Speaker 3: on the team, you know, it's not ever one person. 110 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 3: That's why you need all these different pieces. You need 111 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 3: guys that can click, you need guys that work together. 112 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,679 Speaker 3: And he definitely has a talent. He's got the arm strength, 113 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 3: he can see things. I think he probably learned a 114 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,159 Speaker 3: lot too when he came here. As you would in 115 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,720 Speaker 3: any year, you keep growing. And you could see it 116 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 3: on the practice field that I was like, man, he 117 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 3: can really throw it. And he would, you know, give 118 00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 3: us good looks in practice and stuff going against him. 119 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 3: You could see the talent. You can see how he moves. 120 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:03,119 Speaker 3: He's a good athlete as well. 121 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 4: He guys had a run heavy game plan Monday night 122 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,360 Speaker 4: and have a lot of success and dominate the time 123 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,840 Speaker 4: of possession and as a result of your D line, 124 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 4: I think average your first team was like thirty snaps. 125 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 4: Is that was that part of the master plan to 126 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 4: kind of play complimentary football, trying to protect your D 127 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 4: line early. 128 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 2: In the year. 129 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 3: I mean, I think everyone would love to do that 130 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 3: every single week, you know, to play less snaps on 131 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,719 Speaker 3: defense because you're running the ball like that. I think 132 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 3: that's why it's always you know, teams always talk about it, 133 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 3: the whole cliche of you know, an offense going to 134 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:34,920 Speaker 3: say we want to run the ball, and defense is 135 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 3: going to say we want to stop the run because 136 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 3: it opens up so many things and you can control 137 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:42,359 Speaker 3: the game. And yeah, I think anyone would like to 138 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 3: say that they could run it and play you know, 139 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,600 Speaker 3: fifty some snaps on defense, and you know that was 140 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:49,479 Speaker 3: that was how it worked out, and it was great 141 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 3: needing to correct some things in the run game in 142 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 3: training camp, and the Jets clearly went after you guys 143 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 3: in that regard and it wasn't that successful for him. 144 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 1: What did you think, especially if your front Leak and dave. 145 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,920 Speaker 3: On really pleased with those guys. I mean, they've been 146 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 3: practicing awesome you saw how explosive and how you know, 147 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 3: strong and powerful they were. That was on full display 148 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,359 Speaker 3: the stuff that we've been talking about these guys, you know, 149 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,039 Speaker 3: and our offense is tough. That's why a lot of 150 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,279 Speaker 3: times I said, I would come out to practice and 151 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 3: not feel so great about it. But our offense is 152 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 3: really good too. So we grew a lot by going 153 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 3: against a really good offense every day for you know, 154 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 3: the entirety of training camp. And sometimes I could be humbling, 155 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:30,360 Speaker 3: but it's good. I used to like those days when 156 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,400 Speaker 3: we got our butts kicked, you know. Sometimes One time 157 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 3: you guys said that we, you know, had such a 158 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,360 Speaker 3: big day and it was like, however many picks? And 159 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 3: I was like, I didn't feel like it out there 160 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 3: because you know they had success too. Well, that's the truth, 161 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 3: and that's how you grow. And I kind of like 162 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 3: it when it had some back and forth because if 163 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 3: they didn't make it hard for us, how we're going 164 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 3: to get better. You don't feel good if you're just 165 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:49,920 Speaker 3: I don't feel good when I beat my sons in 166 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 3: ping pong when they were five years old, twenty one 167 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,600 Speaker 3: to three, like some people might, I don't I want 168 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:57,160 Speaker 3: to play someone that's a challenge or I'm not going 169 00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 3: to get any better. So that's the truth. I used 170 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 3: to crush him. I still can't. I still do, but yeah, 171 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:05,239 Speaker 3: I don't know. It's ask him. 172 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 1: The question. 173 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 3: But I don't think they got at five.

So if I ever 176 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 3: beat him, I knew it was real. So I do 177 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 3: the same thing with my kids closer. Now they beat 178 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 3: me in chess, but they they play a lot of chess, 179 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 3: but ping pong, they've never beat me ever. 180 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 4: Jefferson the vocal of practice this week and trying to 181 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 4: prepare the defense to, you know, go up against the 182 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:34,680 Speaker 4: bikes on the road. 183 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,679 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean those are the those are the guys 184 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 3: we have to stop along with. 185 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 1: You know. Aaron Jones. 186 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 3: He's a heck of a runner. We had trouble with 187 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 3: him last year. He's had a lot of a lot 188 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 3: of success. He could He's a tough runner, he can move, 189 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 3: he's slippery. I think the the thing about him is 190 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 3: how he can slash. But he is just I have 191 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 3: a ton of respect with how he runs the ball. 192 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 3: He's he's not a big guy.
