Speaker 1: Monday night.
Speaker 2: As part as just the communication and the process.
Speaker 3: I thought the process in the communication was really good.
Speaker 3: It was fun going through it with everyone, with the
Speaker 3: guys upstairs, my coaches on the sideline, and also the
Speaker 3: players just being able to talk through everything and go
Speaker 3: from group to group depending on what was.
Speaker 1: Needed to be talked about.
Speaker 3: I thought it was really smooth, and you know, the
Speaker 3: guys being open and just kind of just talking through
Speaker 3: our next series, what happened on that series, just like
Speaker 3: you do all the time. It was just cool to
Speaker 3: be able to bounce from group to group doing the
Speaker 3: same thing.
Speaker 2: I want to describe your you calling the game is
Speaker 2: flawless and just the combination of you guys talking and
Speaker 2: so it seemed like he really anticipated and knew exactly
Speaker 2: where you're coming from on every play.
Speaker 1: Calls that kind of well.
Speaker 3: I don't think anyone's flawless, but I would say it
Speaker 3: was a good communication throughout the game and with him
Speaker 3: as well.
Speaker 1: You know, and I do.
Speaker 3: I try and talk to the guys during the week
Speaker 3: what I'm thinking and why we're doing what we're doing,
Speaker 3: the reasons behind it. Backed up with tape and the
Speaker 3: plan and they executed.
Speaker 2: Season Kyle let Klay called the offensive plays.
Speaker 1: What was that in part so that he could kind
Speaker 1: of listen in with you? And did you get extra
Speaker 1: help from him or at.
Speaker 2: Least just input and you know, getting getting that part
Speaker 2: of things down at all?
Speaker 1: Why Kyle let Koob do it? Oh? I don't.
Speaker 3: I mean, Kyle has been great with me this whole time,
Speaker 3: and then like I've said before, it's been really fun
Speaker 3: in this position to be able to talk a lot
Speaker 3: with the offensive guys too, and when doing scripts and
Speaker 3: you're scripting with the offense during training camp, you have
Speaker 3: to be more connected with them. So I was really
Speaker 3: talking a lot with Koob and some with Lombardi and Kyle.
Speaker 3: But regardless, I think that communication was there. Why he
Speaker 3: did what he did, I don't know, you could ask him,
Speaker 3: but I think a lot of it was.
Speaker 1: You know, Coob's done a great job too.
Speaker 3: But I've enjoyed learning a lot just being more connected,
Speaker 3: like I said, with Kub and with Kyle, and he's
Speaker 3: always trying to teach you and challenge you. And that's
Speaker 3: what's been really awesome just being here period, like as
Speaker 3: a Niner the last three years, not just in the
Speaker 3: last you know, six months.
Speaker 1: Were the hallmarks of the Kevin O'Connell offense.
Speaker 3: I mean it's very similar to a lot of the
Speaker 3: things that they do with the Rams. You know, it's
Speaker 3: been around for a while and it's been really successful.
Speaker 3: And I think with you know, uh Sam, that he's
Speaker 3: he's a good quarterback and we've seen that and I
Speaker 3: think he brings a lot of those qualities obviously with
Speaker 3: the pieces he has with Aaron Jones and with Justin Jefferson.
Speaker 3: You know, he has a lot of those things that
Speaker 3: you know, make that offense special. And we've got to
Speaker 3: be really detailed in what we do.
Speaker 4: How much how much communication do you have with Kyle
Speaker 4: in game?
Speaker 5: Like on on Monday night, Like, how much are you going.
Speaker 1: Back and forth? Oh? In game?
Speaker 3: No, he's busy in game. Yeah yeah, yeah, that's totally different.
Speaker 3: Even now, he's really busy. It's just when we can
Speaker 3: catch moments to you know, talk about stuff.
Speaker 1: We tried to in the preseason games though you guys
Speaker 1: during the game a little bit a little I don't
Speaker 1: remember it being like a ton.
Speaker 4: And that after that the Jets touchdown, try that you
Speaker 4: guys made make adjrustments for some adjustments after that is
Speaker 4: that the case or was it more just better execution
Speaker 4: of what you're doing.
Speaker 3: I think it's always a combination of things. There's always
Speaker 3: something that goes wrong, you know, when people are sustaining drives,
Speaker 3: whether it's execution or just communication.
Speaker 1: It's you know, the league.
Speaker 3: Is so detailed, there's always such a little things that
Speaker 3: happened that you might not be able to see, you
Speaker 3: know when you're just watching it, but you know there
Speaker 3: was for whatever reason. It wasn't ever one thing, just
Speaker 3: like it never is. And yeah, we're always correcting them
Speaker 3: on the sideline, and the guys did a really good
Speaker 3: job of responding. I think the best thing about it,
Speaker 3: I think in this game was how our guys played
Speaker 3: as a group. I think they felt confident, they played fast,
Speaker 3: and we always hope that that shows up on tape,
Speaker 3: is how.
Speaker 1: Hard our guys play and how fast.
Speaker 5: Familiarly are with you know, Samar with the Jets, and
Speaker 5: I realized he wasn't in a wonderful situation there. But
Speaker 5: I mean, if you can't speak to that and how
Speaker 5: good luck, like say last week, I mean, do you see,
Speaker 5: like wow, he's done this, this and this so much better.
Speaker 5: He's a much better quarterback or did you kind of
Speaker 5: see stuff like he had that potential with the Jets,
Speaker 5: but you know.
Speaker 1: He wasn't in a great situation.
Speaker 3: I don't know a ton about the situation, but I
Speaker 3: do know which is why he was drafted so high,
Speaker 3: is how much talent he has.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's a really good athlete. If you watch
Speaker 1: him throw, he can throw.
Speaker 3: I think there's always a lot of things that go into,
Speaker 3: you know, having success. There's so many guys on the
Speaker 3: on the team, you know, it's not ever one person.
Speaker 3: That's why you need all these different pieces. You need
Speaker 3: guys that can click, you need guys that work together.
Speaker 3: And he definitely has a talent. He's got the arm strength,
Speaker 3: he can see things. I think he probably learned a
Speaker 3: lot too when he came here. As you would in
Speaker 3: any year, you keep growing. And you could see it
Speaker 3: on the practice field that I was like, man, he
Speaker 3: can really throw it. And he would, you know, give
Speaker 3: us good looks in practice and stuff going against him.
Speaker 3: You could see the talent. You can see how he moves.
Speaker 3: He's a good athlete as well.
Speaker 4: He guys had a run heavy game plan Monday night
Speaker 4: and have a lot of success and dominate the time
Speaker 4: of possession and as a result of your D line,
Speaker 4: I think average your first team was like thirty snaps.
Speaker 4: Is that was that part of the master plan to
Speaker 4: kind of play complimentary football, trying to protect your D
Speaker 4: line early.
Speaker 2: In the year.
Speaker 3: I mean, I think everyone would love to do that
Speaker 3: every single week, you know, to play less snaps on
Speaker 3: defense because you're running the ball like that. I think
Speaker 3: that's why it's always you know, teams always talk about it,
Speaker 3: the whole cliche of you know, an offense going to
Speaker 3: say we want to run the ball, and defense is
Speaker 3: going to say we want to stop the run because
Speaker 3: it opens up so many things and you can control
Speaker 3: the game. And yeah, I think anyone would like to
Speaker 3: say that they could run it and play you know,
Speaker 3: fifty some snaps on defense, and you know that was
Speaker 3: that was how it worked out, and it was great
Speaker 3: needing to correct some things in the run game in
Speaker 3: training camp, and the Jets clearly went after you guys
Speaker 3: in that regard and it wasn't that successful for him.
Speaker 1: What did you think, especially if your front Leak and dave.
Speaker 3: On really pleased with those guys. I mean, they've been
Speaker 3: practicing awesome you saw how explosive and how you know,
Speaker 3: strong and powerful they were. That was on full display
Speaker 3: the stuff that we've been talking about these guys, you know,
Speaker 3: and our offense is tough. That's why a lot of
Speaker 3: times I said, I would come out to practice and
Speaker 3: not feel so great about it. But our offense is
Speaker 3: really good too. So we grew a lot by going
Speaker 3: against a really good offense every day for you know,
Speaker 3: the entirety of training camp. And sometimes I could be humbling,
Speaker 3: but it's good. I used to like those days when
Speaker 3: we got our butts kicked, you know. Sometimes One time
Speaker 3: you guys said that we, you know, had such a
Speaker 3: big day and it was like, however many picks? And
Speaker 3: I was like, I didn't feel like it out there
Speaker 3: because you know they had success too. Well, that's the truth,
Speaker 3: and that's how you grow. And I kind of like
Speaker 3: it when it had some back and forth because if
Speaker 3: they didn't make it hard for us, how we're going
Speaker 3: to get better. You don't feel good if you're just
Speaker 3: I don't feel good when I beat my sons in
Speaker 3: ping pong when they were five years old, twenty one
Speaker 3: to three, like some people might, I don't I want
Speaker 3: to play someone that's a challenge or I'm not going
Speaker 3: to get any better. So that's the truth. I used
Speaker 3: to crush him. I still can't. I still do, but yeah,
Speaker 3: I don't know. It's ask him.
Speaker 1: The question.
Speaker 3: But I don't think they got at five. No, they
Speaker 3: didn't get three. And I never let him win. So
Speaker 3: my dad never let me win. So if I ever
Speaker 3: beat him, I knew it was real. So I do
Speaker 3: the same thing with my kids closer. Now they beat
Speaker 3: me in chess, but they they play a lot of chess,
Speaker 3: but ping pong, they've never beat me ever.
Speaker 4: Jefferson the vocal of practice this week and trying to
Speaker 4: prepare the defense to, you know, go up against the
Speaker 4: bikes on the road.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean those are the those are the guys
Speaker 3: we have to stop along with.
Speaker 1: You know. Aaron Jones.
Speaker 3: He's a heck of a runner. We had trouble with
Speaker 3: him last year. He's had a lot of a lot
Speaker 3: of success. He could He's a tough runner, he can move,
Speaker 3: he's slippery. I think the the thing about him is
Speaker 3: how he can slash. But he is just I have
Speaker 3: a ton of respect with how he runs the ball.
Speaker 3: He's he's not a big guy. But he runs big,
Speaker 3: and he finishes runs, and he's tough, and you know,
Speaker 3: it's a big challenge for us. It's not just justin Jefferson,
Speaker 3: because he's an excellent receiver too who plays tough as well.
Speaker 3: I think they have a lot of pieces that do
Speaker 3: fit this offensive scheme and a lot of respect for
Speaker 3: you know, how they play their game and you know
Speaker 3: this offense that they're they're well coached. But the guy
Speaker 3: that's been again from.
Speaker 2: Watched a lot of Fred and Drey over the last
Speaker 2: couple of years, he's stepping into.
Speaker 1: A more prominent role with dray out.
Speaker 4: How did you think he did and what what does
Speaker 4: he bring to the table?
Speaker 3: Flann's done awesome. He's progressed so much over the years.
Speaker 3: And the cool thing about Flann is, like you said,
Speaker 3: he's had great examples even when his ease was here.
Speaker 3: But with with Dre and with Fred, these guys are
Speaker 3: two of the best.
Speaker 1: In the game.
Speaker 3: And with them it's not just so much how good
Speaker 3: they are, it's that they make themselves good by doing
Speaker 3: it really well and working really hard every single day.
Speaker 3: So when you get in that room, it's it's always
Speaker 3: been a really good room along with Johnny Holland coaching them,
Speaker 3: and over these years, you can't it not you can't
Speaker 3: not get better. And when you're in it for a
Speaker 3: few years, like Flan and like Curtis has been, like
Speaker 3: you just continue to get better and like how you
Speaker 3: saw d winners get you know, improved as well.
Speaker 1: But really proud of Flaying. We're We're glad he's on
Speaker 1: our team.
Speaker 3: You know, it was cool to see him get a
Speaker 3: pick like that, but he's he's continually gotten better over
Speaker 3: these years.
Speaker 5: The pros and cons of having somebody like Mooney travel
Speaker 5: with Justin Jefferson.
Speaker 3: On every play, Uh, there's pros and cause everything we
Speaker 3: feel great about all our corners love Mooney. Mooney's in.
Speaker 3: You know, he's top notch. He's one of the top
Speaker 3: tier corners in the game.
Speaker 1: Trends that oh, no, I don't.
Speaker 3: Know how that went to ping pong, but oh it
Speaker 3: was going against their offense. Yeah that was I don't know.
Speaker 3: Oh they're twelve and thirteen stoned nash Yep. Alright, thanks
