1
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:07,600
Speaker 1: Preparations for the Colts are ramping up here at the

2
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:10,159
Speaker 1: Cross Country Mortgage Campus, as the Brows were back on

3
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:13,960
Speaker 1: the practice field on Thursday, and as all that preparation

4
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 1: ramps up, so does the media availability. Today on from

5
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 1: the podium, we're gonna hear from four players and then

6
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:23,319
Speaker 1: three coordinators as well. First up, the player spoke in

7
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 1: the locker room, and wide receiver Amari Cooper went first.

8
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 1: He talked about what he saw from quarterback PJ Walker

9
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 1: last week and what he felt about his impressive catch

10
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:33,559
Speaker 1: where he jumped over the defender.

11
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:37,159
Speaker 2: So he got another week, not as we don't know

12
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:39,560
Speaker 2: who's going to be the starting quarterback. Do you think

13
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:41,479
Speaker 2: the fact you guys have done that the last couple

14
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:42,520
Speaker 2: of weeks helps?

15
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 3: It helps in a way you're.

16
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:46,319
Speaker 2: Used to it.

17
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 4: It's not a surprise anymore.

18
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:52,160
Speaker 5: Oh, I guess you could say that from that standpoint. Yeah,

19
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 5: I mean it's no longer a surprise. It's no longer

20
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:56,279
Speaker 5: a surprise element to it.

21
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, who's getting cooped this week?

22
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 5: I mean, given the opportunity, I'll definitely try to go

23
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 5: up there, uh and make plays like that as much

24
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 5: as I can.

25
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 3: It's really a routine catch.

26
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 5: So uh, as long as I get the opportunities, then

27
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 5: somebody will get cooped every week.

28
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 7: I don't know.

29
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 8: That doesn't look like a routine catch though.

30
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 6: I mean, I know you talked about it after the

31
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:26,040
Speaker 6: game that you know a lot of folks don't recognize

32
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 6: that uh uh about your game.

33
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:31,319
Speaker 8: But it just doesn't look like it's an easy play it.

34
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 5: Main Uh, I mean it felt pretty easy. I mean

35
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 5: something I've been doing like my whole life. So I

36
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 5: guess imagine something that most people think it is difficult

37
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 5: that you've been.

38
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:48,639
Speaker 3: Doing for a long time. Uh, that's easy to you.

39
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 3: So it's the same thing.

40
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 8: Did you happen to see that it was the most

41
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 8: improbable catcher that year.

42
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 3: Based on older Yeah understand, Yeah I did see that.

43
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 5: I I don't know how they come up with those numbers,

44
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 5: but uh, you know it was.

45
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 3: It's impressive. I guess.

46
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 7: Your mindset on you know, as you approach your week, I.

47
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 9: Know you just wanna help the quarterback in any way

48
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 9: that you can.

49
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 10: Well, but when you talk.

50
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 9: About how you have to do that communication and every

51
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 9: day about routes and guys you're going in, guess it's

52
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 9: the way that are you doing that with both DeShawn

53
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 9: and PJ to try to make sure you guys are

54
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,519
Speaker 9: on the same page.

55
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 5: I mean no, I mean I did this Shdshawn seems

56
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 5: like he he's gonna practice today, So I'll be communicating

57
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 5: with Kashawan this week, I mean, barring any setback.

58
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 3: Or anything like that.

59
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 7: So yeah, interesting, So you kind of expect him to

60
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 7: play this week.

61
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:49,239
Speaker 3: I don't know, you you have to aks the sean.

62
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 3: I don't know, Andy Mar.

63
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:52,640
Speaker 11: We've covered some of this ground before, so you can

64
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,519
Speaker 11: give me when one side of the ball was playing

65
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 11: as well as like this defenses now and then I

66
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 11: know you experienced some of this maybe with o'cuinn or

67
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 11: that al In at Alabama. How galvanized it gonna be

68
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:05,639
Speaker 11: when you have one side of the ball playing at

69
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 11: such an LVA level.

70
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 3: Uh, extremely galvanizing.

71
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:09,920
Speaker 12: Uh.

72
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 5: I know, just me personally, when I see the defense

73
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:18,239
Speaker 5: making plays, it, uh, it makes me wanna.

74
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:18,839
Speaker 3: Make plays out there.

75
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 5: Like after the game after im after I made that

76
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:23,359
Speaker 5: catch Miles, he came up.

77
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:24,799
Speaker 3: To me, he was like, yeah, that one, that one

78
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 3: got me up out of my seat.

79
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 5: And so it's the same way with me, like when

80
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,679
Speaker 5: he makes a sack or a strip strip sack or

81
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 5: something like that. It's gonna get me up out of

82
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 5: my seat. It's gonna make me say, okay, I gotta

83
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 5: step my game up. Yeah, same same thing.

84
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 6: You guys played so many home gases early in the

85
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 6: season four the first.

86
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 8: Five, I think five or the next seven are on

87
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 8: the roads.

88
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 6: So just how do you guys become a a good

89
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 6: road team and and went away from home.

90
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 5: It's all comes down there the same thing, you know,

91
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 5: block and tackling, execution of the plays.

92
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 3: It's really no different.

93
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 5: I mean there's a different element to it by playing

94
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 5: on the road with the crowd or wasn't everything like that,

95
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 5: But at the end of the day, EU have to

96
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 5: block all that out and just play football.

97
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 2: Did you tell PJ to talk to Jacobe or the

98
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 2: bejors Na?

99
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 7: Nah?

100
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 3: I deny.

101
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 5: He surprised me he can't. He just came in one day,

102
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 5: was like, yeah, I talked to Jacoby last night. I

103
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 5: was like, okay, Uh, but that just showed me how

104
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 5: serious he was, and uh, you know his approach to

105
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 5: start and uh last.

106
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 2: Week, what did he show you during the game, PJ.

107
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 5: I mean right from the first drive, you know, we were,

108
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 5: you know, driving a ball down field.

109
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 10: Uh.

110
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 5: He was real confident and everything like that. But you know,

111
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 5: obviously it he got stifled with the drive. But he

112
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 5: showed me a lot of confidence. Uh and I and

113
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,359
Speaker 5: I got confident in his ability. So I was I

114
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:43,799
Speaker 5: was ready to go out there and make some plays

115
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 5: for him.

116
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:45,359
Speaker 7: Gotta kind of.

117
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 4: Gold it off that.

118
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 13: What similarities do you see in practice, savage or where

119
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 13: the way they execute.

120
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 14: To show the city just how how PJ would show

121
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,719
Speaker 14: him or so h what what about can one guy.

122
00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 7: Plays young or not?

123
00:04:59,560 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 14: Yeah?

124
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 3: I mean and for the most part, you know, every

125
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 3: quarterback that.

126
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,919
Speaker 5: I've played with have been similar in regards to you know,

127
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,840
Speaker 5: just being ah, a great leader, like being always been

128
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 5: one of the hardest workers on the team. You always

129
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 5: see him the first guy in the last got to lead,

130
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 5: always working the stream we heard in the weight room,

131
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 5: always trying to get uh extra film study in with

132
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 5: his guys. You know, most quarterbacks are generally like that.

133
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 5: So that's how they're similar.

134
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,799
Speaker 2: What kind of boosts could it be if after missing

135
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 2: a couple.

136
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 5: Of games, it'll be a huge bea uh a h

137
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 5: a huge boost. I mean, you know, DeShawn is our guy.

138
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 15: You know what I mean.

139
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,040
Speaker 3: At the end of the day, we all know who

140
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 3: Deshon is.

141
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 5: We've seen, you know, all the plays that he's been

142
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:42,040
Speaker 5: able to make throughout his career. It's just like any

143
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 5: other team, like you're confident when you're starting guy is

144
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,039
Speaker 5: in the line up, So it'll be a huge boost.

145
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: Safety Grant Delpit was next to speak in the locker room,

146
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 1: and he talked about this defense having the mantra of

147
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,279
Speaker 1: being the best in the world and all the rest

148
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,280
Speaker 1: of the swagger that this defense has had this year, but.

149
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 6: One blot to the UH the secondary just from UH leadership, professionalism,

150
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 6: perspective and help may help you.

151
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,359
Speaker 16: Yeah, I think it just said it VET leadership and

152
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 16: UH professionalism. So those guys have definitely helped me. It's

153
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 16: not my first years in the league, but those guys

154
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 16: have definitely come with some UH other knowledge and the

155
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 16: winning mentality, and that's what we need on this team.

156
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:26,160
Speaker 3: That's it.

157
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, where that when you UH were against UH Colts

158
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 6: offense and partner been shoots having to take things over

159
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 6: at quarterback.

160
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 8: Just what do you see?

161
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 4: Where are you watching the.

162
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 16: Well before going into the last week, he had n't

163
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 16: throw a pick. The Jazz got on a little bit.

164
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 16: It was a tough game for them, So I'm sure

165
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 16: they's gonna have that bounce back mentality and utility to

166
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,919
Speaker 16: take care of the ball. So we reverse, you know,

167
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 16: we gotta go get it just like the Jazz did

168
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:54,719

172

203
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 16: what we need. We know that we have a lot

204
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 16: of things to clean up. Like the last drive was

205
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 16: not good enough.

206
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 4: In my eyes.

207
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 16: You know, you know that that that lo that could

208
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 16: have lost us the game easily. So don't matter how

209
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 16: well we played throughout the whole game. I play well

210
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 16: when it matters. So, like you say, it's a lot

211
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 16: of clean up, but it you know, if victory is

212
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 16: a victory, will take it and move on.

213

00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:33,839
Speaker 18: have to tamp it.

216
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 4: Down a little bit.

217
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,560

Speaker 16: I mean I don't really see it as an issue, man,

222
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 16: good or bad. You know, we flush the week the week,

223
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,200

224
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 16: Now you know there's a number one defense. So with

225
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 16: that in mind, man, we can't have any slip ups.

226

322
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 16: anything out of the ordinary to go make a play.

323
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 16: Sometimes it happens, man, and that's that's not.

324
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 15: What you want.

325
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:18,319
Speaker 4: You know.

326
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 16: How you avoid that, you boy that by doing your job. Uh,

327
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 16: it's simple if you think about it. But in the

328
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 16: heat of the moment, you know sometimes that could happen.

329
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 16: But just focus on you know, every play, man, what

330
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 16: you gotta do instead of trying to do too.

331
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 13: Much right, what's your do you can back hitting your

332
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 13: oppos's offense schematically?

333
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 4: Has have you seen something similar?

334
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 15: Yeah?

335
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 4: For what they're going si Yeah.

336
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 16: This year, well, yeah, it's much different than last week.

337
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:46,079
Speaker 16: I say that for sure. You know their coach came

338
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:50,839
Speaker 16: from Philly and they have some similarities there. But it's

339
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 16: it's like I said, it's I it's in the NFL, man,

340
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 16: So of course there's some similarities in certain games, but

341
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 16: much different than last week.

342
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 8: What can boost? What do you give you guys?

343
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 7: If de Sean can you come back out there and

344
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 7: place in Sunday?

345
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 4: Oh, it's gonna be great.

346
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 16: It's gonna be great if you can come back. You know,

347
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 16: we love for, we need for We we ride behind

348
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 16: him if he play or doesn't play, So I know

349
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 16: we want him just to be healthy. At the end

350
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 16: of the day, it's a long season. But whoever's back there,

351
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 16: you know we gonna we gonna be behind him.

352
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:20,440
Speaker 8: You guys have a tough running back due you'd have

353
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 8: to try.

354
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 6: And slow down the switch to sure, yeah, Dalwn Tomlinson,

355
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 6: but what's he not on the top frunt, Yeah, as

356
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 6: far as you know, making your job easier in the

357
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 6: linebacker's job easier.

358
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 16: In uh in the run he sh DT's a monster man.

359
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 16: He doesn't get a lot of praise. I think he

360
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 16: had like one tackle last last game, but if you

361
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 16: tech cut on the fake cut on.

362
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 4: The tape, he's everywhere.

363
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 16: He's disrupting, he's in the backfield, and that frees up

364
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 16: our linebackers to make plays. So we do have two

365
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:48,680
Speaker 16: tough running backs this week. We have the leading rusher

366
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 16: in the AFC and Jona Taylor. We already know what

367
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 16: he could do, so it's gonna be a good challenge

368
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 16: for our run defense.

369
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 1: Are All Pro offensive guard Joel Botonio talk next, and

370
00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 1: he talked about how much he hated missing the last

371
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 1: week with his injury, but also what he saw from

372
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 1: Michael Dunn in relief.

373
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:05,680
Speaker 8: Ready to make one consecutive start.

374
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 20: Yeah, we're working to it. I got to go up

375
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 20: practice yesterday, move around a little bit, so we're trying

376
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 20: to get back on track. You know, Kevin joked to

377
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,560
Speaker 20: me if I got one hundred and two straight more starts,

378
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:17,119
Speaker 20: I don't know if I have that on me, but

379
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 20: but hopefully get back out there and and try and

380
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 20: help the team a little bit. I wanted too bad.

381
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 20: I was probably being a little selfish honestly, like, not

382
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 20: just for the streak, but the competitor and me wanted

383
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 20: to be on the field because I feel like I can,

384
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 20: you know, help the team when I'm out there. But

385
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 20: you know, we all decided that it was probably best

386
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 20: to not play on thirteen days post surgery, you know,

387
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 20: for the for the remainder of the seat, you know,

388
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 20: for the twelve other games we have. But it was

389
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 20: a tough decision, you know. I was, I was, I

390
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 20: was trying to get back there, but it wasn't quite ready.

391
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 20: It wasn't quite ready, so it was the right decision

392
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 20: to wait a little bit longer. Thomas Champaign No, No,

393
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 20: I did talk to Joe and Mitch actually a few

394
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 20: guys JC, guys that I had played with or are

395
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 20: been a part of it, and honestly just for advice

396
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 20: on the whole situation. But no, he was very helpful

397
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 20: in it. But he wasn't uh, I don't think he

398
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 20: was popping champagne, but he did. He did say he

399
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 20: was thinking about me, So it was, Uh.

400
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 7: It was nice because you know, you looked fine after

401
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 7: the game.

402
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 8: You talked after the game.

403
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 20: Yeah, so I was kind of dealing with it from

404
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 20: earlier in the year. I want to say Pittsburgh maybe,

405
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 20: I just you know, had some has had some knee

406
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 20: issues and and it wasn't getting better it was. Uh

407
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 20: so I was kind of dealing with that for two

408
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 20: and a half games, you know, and it was our

409
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 20: chance to go look and he was wrong, and it

410
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 20: was a good thing we did. I already felt a

411
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 20: lot better. There's you know, some some damage in there

412
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 20: that they could fix with the scope and it turned

413
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 20: out to be good. So it wasn't one instance in

414
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 20: the game you know that happened, but it was kind

415
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 20: of over time through the first kind of quarter of

416
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 20: the season. But it was kind of our one time

417
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 20: in the season where I didn't have to miss too

418
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 20: much time. So we decided to make a move and

419
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 20: get it fixed.

420
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 4: What did you do during that, I mean during those

421
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 4: three hours on Sunday.

422
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 20: Oh during the game, I was on the sideline.

423
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 15: Yeah, I was.

424
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 20: It was weird, you know, I uh, you know, last

425
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 20: time I said I was the Pittsburgh playoff game. I

426
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 20: was at home for that for COVID, you know, but uh,

427
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 20: this one was different. Being on the sideline. But I

428
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 20: was super proud of Mike. I mean, he obviously got

429
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 20: banged up, but he went out there and fought and

430
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 20: and played well, and the O line really stepped up.

431
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 3: But it's different.

432
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 20: I had a little bit more fan mentality, you know,

433
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 20: I could watch the defense a little bit more, you know,

434
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 20: when you're on the side, because you're not looking at the

435
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 20: next play you're gonna run an offense and stuff, and uh,

436
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 20: I gotta listen to, you know, because the fantasy call

437
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 20: some plays in the in the headset. I had one

438
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 20: of those in so it was kind of a different perspective.

439
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 20: But I mean it was awesome that that they won

440
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 20: the game and and uh, you know it was just

441
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 20: a little tap like all right, you know, we got

442
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 20: to win anyway, So it was, uh, it was it

443
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 20: was a good decision.

444
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 8: So did you call.

445
00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 20: No?

446
00:16:58,200 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 15: No?

447
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 20: That was a good one. Though. You know, Harry's asking

448
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 20: for a little bit more money now he thinks he's

449
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 20: a quarterback.

450
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 3: So we'll see what happens with that.

451
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:13,879
Speaker 18: Quarterbacks player that Watson may practice today, Like I know

452
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,679
Speaker 18: your uncertainty and this guy's playing.

453
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:17,880
Speaker 15: The stage out practicing.

454
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 8: It's not health, is it. I mean, for Sundays.

455
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:25,440
Speaker 20: You know, the team is really focused and coaching Fantasy

456
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 20: is done a good job of have we had to

457
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 20: focus with with the guys that we have out there,

458
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 20: you know, me included when I was I always heard

459
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:33,919
Speaker 20: Duney was was ultra focused. You know, Pjy and and

460
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,360
Speaker 20: dtr have been been ultra focused when they're out there.

461
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 20: And and we just want to Shaun at full full

462
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 20: health and make sure he's comfortable and ready to play.

463
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 20: You know, we don't have an answer of when that's

464
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:46,359
Speaker 20: gonna be, and I don't know if he has an answer,

465
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:47,639
Speaker 20: but he's trying to work through it.

466
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 3: And that's the NFL.

467
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 20: There's injuries, there's there's things that happen like that, and

468
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,360
Speaker 20: and as a player you're really try not to roll

469
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:55,119
Speaker 20: ride the roller coaster and there's a lot of noise

470
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 20: and and things like that. But as us, we have

471
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 20: to go out there and compete and fight and uh

472
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 20: and the guys that are gonna be out there are

473
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 20: are gonna go hard. They showed it this weekend, you know, PJ,

474
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:08,439
Speaker 20: Michael Dunn all stepped up and and you know, played

475
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 20: played well but enough for us to win. But it's

476
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:12,879
Speaker 20: one of those things where if he's out there with

477
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 20: us a practice, you know, we we we get excited

478
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 20: for him, We're ready to go. But we know PJ

479
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 20: and and DT already take reps two. If he's not.

480
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:22,479
Speaker 4: Grover not playing for them, what how does the how

481
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:24,119
Speaker 4: does that impact their defensive line.

482
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 20: Yeah, he's a really good player. I mean they have,

483
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 20: you know, two of the I think as a run

484
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 20: stopping and pass rushing group. You know, Grover is one

485
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:31,679
Speaker 20: of the better run stopping nose guards in the league.

486
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 20: They still have DFO out there, who's who's a great

487
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:36,879
Speaker 20: player in both faces of the game. And they have

488
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 20: some young guys that I'm sure they're gonna, you know,

489
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 20: move up and and have to play some more minutes

490
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 20: at the nose guard for him. But but yeah, I

491
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 20: mean he's dynamic in the run, run stopping, and he's

492
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:48,359
Speaker 20: he's a penetrating kind of similar to our defense. They penetrate,

493
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:50,360
Speaker 20: they get up the field, and he does a really

494
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:52,120
Speaker 20: good job of that. So it'll be interesting to see

495
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 20: who kind of takes those snaps away. But they still

496
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:56,879
Speaker 20: have a really talented front and their linebackers uh a

497
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 20: fly around to make plays.

498
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,359
Speaker 8: Two point.

499
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 7: They won the game on Sunday.

500
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 9: Can you say, I mean, are you sad that the streak?

501
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:12,679
Speaker 20: You know, for me, I was the It was a

502
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 20: tough decision, you know, cause I knew my knee was hurting,

503
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 20: and I knew I wasn't at a hundred percent, but

504
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 20: I felt like I wanted to be out there, you know,

505
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 20: for the guys, and so it was a hard decision

506
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 20: for me to make any way, with the surgery and

507
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 20: and and it's almost, in a weird way, kind of

508
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 20: a relief, you know what I mean, that you're not

509
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 20: worried about your helmet snapping off or your shoelace breaking

510
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:37,160
Speaker 20: or anything like that. If we're winning by thirty points

511
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 20: and coach wants to take me out, he's like, I'm like, yeah,

512
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:40,080
Speaker 20: I can go out now, you know what I mean.

513
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 20: Or or winning this game. But no, I think it's

514
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 20: a testament to to the teammates I've had, the coaches

515
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 20: I've had, and and just the mentors of Joe and

516
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 20: Mitch and Greco and Mac. Those guys you know, fought

517
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:53,440
Speaker 20: hard and it w It was something I in JC.

518
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:54,880
Speaker 20: You know, he did it for a long time too,

519
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 20: just stuff. I I just wanted to be out there

520
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 20: with the guys. But but for me, it was it

521
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,119
Speaker 20: was one game and we got to win, and you know,

522
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 20: team's always always more important.

523
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 8: Such kind of there.

524
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 21: But does that just kind of speak to the mentality

525
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 21: that's been developed on the offensive line over years and

526
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:13,359
Speaker 21: years and years.

527
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 11: Going back to Joe now, and how much responsibility.

528
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 8: Do you feel to kind of foster that with these

529
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:18,399
Speaker 8: younger guys.

530
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 20: Yeah, it was, uh, you know, when I first got

531
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 20: in the league, I thought it was just like common

532
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 20: practice because like Joe Thomas had never missed a snap,

533
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:26,880
Speaker 20: Alex Mackett never mis sta and Mitch had never missed

534
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 20: a snap.

535
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:29,639
Speaker 3: So I was like, I guess you don't miss snaps,

536
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:30,159
Speaker 3: you know what I mean.

537
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 20: And so I came in and I didn't miss a

538
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 20: snap for my first year, and I was like, all right,

539
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 20: this is easy. And then I got heard of my

540
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 20: second year and that you know, went down the drain.

541
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:39,920
Speaker 20: But it was definitely foster of this toughness and guys

542
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 20: were playing through injuries and mack had the appendix thing

543
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:45,200
Speaker 20: and he played through and like crazy things, you know

544
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:47,160
Speaker 20: what I mean. And it was just a pride thing

545
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 20: that you wanted to be out there for your for

546
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:52,119
Speaker 20: your guys, and so yeah, you know, I hope we're

547
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 20: we're still carrying that on. But it was definitely from

548
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:56,920
Speaker 20: those guys that that kind of did it than JC

549
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:58,439
Speaker 20: when he got here. Me and him kind of had

550
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 20: like a we played every snap for like five years,

551
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,239
Speaker 20: four years, so that was something that we didn't want

552
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 20: to let each other down. And so it's been part

553
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 20: of the group. And and when you're healthy, you know,

554
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 20: or or you can fight through we we we try

555
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 20: and be out there since.

556
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 11: You had your assistant coaches had on last week and

557
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:14,479
Speaker 11: could focus on the defense.

558
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:16,680
Speaker 8: And with all the impressions in the fronts and ins.

559
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 20: Oh, it's impressive the way they fly around. I think

560
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 20: we saw some of it in training camp. You know,

561
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:22,399
Speaker 20: we weren't sure until you get on the field, but

562
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 20: we're like, they're making some you know, big plays. The

563
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:28,919
Speaker 20: dvs are playing well, they're gonna pressure up front. I

564
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 20: was excited to see, you know, the old linement. We

565
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:33,199
Speaker 20: excited to see Miles versus Trent a little bit, and

566
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 20: they finally got some real one on one in the

567
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 20: last drive of the game. Two obviously great players in

568
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,120
Speaker 20: this game, but no, they do they do a great

569
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 20: job and and honestly, we've put them in some tough

570
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,119
Speaker 20: positions on offense or I think the stats will be

571
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 20: even better because we've turned the ball over a little

572
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 20: bit too much and we've gave him some short fields.

573
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 20: But they're playing lights out right now, and hopefully we

574
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:53,640
Speaker 20: can compliment compliment them a little bit more.

575
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 11: Was saying it does have a galvanizing effect. Do you

576
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 11: feel that now that this defense is really pulling this

577
00:21:58,600 --> 00:21:59,119
Speaker 11: team together.

578
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:00,360
Speaker 20: Yeah, they're doing a great job.

579
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 15: You know.

580
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 20: It's it's nice when you score nineteen points and we

581
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,679
Speaker 20: gave him a touchdown too, but you know, scored nineteen

582
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:09,159
Speaker 20: points and win a game. You know, we've seen that

583
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:10,919
Speaker 20: in a few games this year where the teams have

584
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 20: scored three points and I mean even the Steelers game.

585
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 20: You know, we give him two touchdowns, but they're playing

586
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 20: they're playing lights out, and it's positive. We want to

587
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 20: do our part and really help so we can, you know,

588
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:22,440
Speaker 20: have two great phases as long as special teams.

589
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 6: After the two games after the Dame's got hurt, you know,

590
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 6: there were a lot of questions about the Running Game

591
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:30,920
Speaker 6: just how how good was it to watch that Running.

592
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 8: Game really get going against a good.

593
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 6: Defense like San Francisco, and now that you're coming back,

594
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 6: you know, outside and already to get those guys going.

595
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 20: Yeah, no, it was. It was a great week. I

596
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 20: think guys stepped up, you know. I think we moved

597
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 20: Jet around a little bit. He was pulling out there,

598
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 20: making some big blocks for us. Uh, Poe was playing great. Why.

599
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 20: I mean all of them really stepped up, and and

600
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:54,680
Speaker 20: I think Ford and Kareem you know, had their best

601
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 20: game since since, uh, since Nick's gone down, And I

602
00:22:57,760 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 20: think it's just been an improvement and hopefully we can

603
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 20: we keep stacking it. But it was impressive.

604
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 4: I was.

605
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 20: I was so pumped to see it. And when you

606
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 20: hit a good run, I just feel like that that

607
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 20: gives you a little bit of momentum and it can

608
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:09,120
Speaker 20: really get the ball moving for you guys.

609
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 8: Story, some of you guys have good roots. And I realized,

610
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:16,160
Speaker 8: this is a completely different year. You've played a pretty

611
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:18,119
Speaker 8: big chunk year on schedule already, and you got a

612
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 8: tot of road base counting up here. So what's going to.

613
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 6: Be the key for you guys to become road warders?

614
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 8: Say, and you went away from home?

615
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:27,920
Speaker 20: Yeah, we've stressed it. I mean for the offense, it's

616
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,399
Speaker 20: really about road operation. You know, you have silent counts,

617
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:34,119
Speaker 20: you have communication, you have the fans against you, and

618
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,119
Speaker 20: right now we're just we're just focused on ourselves and

619
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:37,879
Speaker 20: trying to do that. But coach has stressed it, we

620
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 20: want to be we want to be road warriors. We

621
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 20: want to stack wins. We want to really develop that.

622
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 20: We don't want to kind of go on this roller

623
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:44,959
Speaker 20: coaster with seasons. So it's a big week for us,

624
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 20: But I think the guys are focused in Like yesterday's practice,

625
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 20: I think I produced high energy and ready to try

626
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 20: and stackle in.

627
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:52,879
Speaker 1: Last up in the locker room for it today was

628
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:57,040

632
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 6: middle of that defensive line there. You know, you're everywhere

633
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 6: making plays, but not everyone talks about you.

634
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 8: They tended to put some areas.

635
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 3: Uh.

638
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:19,920

671
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 14: You know, that's the type of energy a defensive line wants,

672

Speaker 14: and uh he gives. He gives the energy every single day.

673
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:38,200

674
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 7: the whole boom box kinds of uh before the game.

675
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:44,159

Speaker 14: Oh yeah, I feel like, Uh, this is one of

680
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 14: the closest defenses I've played on. I feel like it's

681
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,399
Speaker 14: a brotherhood from the nose tackle all the way to

682
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:57,919
Speaker 14: the safety and I we always hang out together and

683
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 14: go out to eat stuff like that, and uh yeah,

684
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:02,639
Speaker 14: I just I feel like it's a family over here. R.

685
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 18: Is there any fear of a all the accolades getting

686
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 18: to your head?

687
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:10,399
Speaker 14: Nah, cause we really blocked the noise.

688
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:10,719
Speaker 3: Uh.

689
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:13,399
Speaker 14: We really don't know all the stats and stuff until,

690
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:15,360
Speaker 14: like you know, when it's posted or something like that,

691
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 14: but you block it out because it's you have to

692
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:19,639
Speaker 14: go on and know every week you have to restart

693
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:21,440
Speaker 14: every week. It's a new appoint of every single week.

694
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:23,119
Speaker 14: And this NFL, we know how hard it is to

695
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 14: win game. So you have to block the noise out

696
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:27,400
Speaker 14: and just keep focusing on what's the objective?

697
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 15: Is Shorts all kind.

698
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,159
Speaker 8: Of Sunday message in meetings too, don't to.

00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 14: and he he's h he wants to improve every single week.

702
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:42,399
Speaker 14: So if we did good last week, we have to

703
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 14: do better this week. It's always room for improvement.

704
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 8: The noise honey, guys, you played a bunch of home

705
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:48,479
Speaker 8: games already.

711
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:00,119
Speaker 14: like you like, like I said, sept the tone. But

712
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:02,119
Speaker 14: you know, on defense a little easier. Away games you

713
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 14: get to hear each other, so and our communication is

714
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 14: gonna be gotta be on point and execution of other

715
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 14: players and just make sure easy, uh follow the game

716
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 14: plan like, hey, coach Force wants it.

717
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 2: I know there'sually eleven guys involved in stopping the run,

718
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 2: but he's a guy in the middle. How much pride

719
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 2: do you take and to turn around to just run

720
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 2: defense's head even though I know you were an airly year,

721
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:23,719
Speaker 2: but in fact that the run defense is so much

722
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:24,400
Speaker 2: better this year.

723
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 12: Uh.

724
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 14: You always like me, Uh, I'll take a lot of

725
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:29,680
Speaker 14: pride and stopping the run because you can't stop and

726
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:31,919
Speaker 14: the run. You you don't have to worry about pass rushing,

727
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 14: uh getting sacks and they quarterback hits because they just

728
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 14: gonna keep running the ball. There's always a safe for option,

729
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 14: So you always take I always take pride in stopping

730
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 14: the run. I feel like everybody up front front seven.

00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 14: hit somebody in the a gap like a linebacker, and

733
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 14: I I think, I don't think I've ever been a

734
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:48,679
Speaker 14: part or something like that.

Speaker 14: Uh, I'm liking it so far. You know, I'm still

740
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:01,720
Speaker 14: trying to learn the areas. People will be telling me

741
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 14: places you know, I don't know where it's at, so

742
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 14: I gotta look it up on them falling and stuff.

743

Speaker 13: And if Jim encourages that personality, that swear, do you

747
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 13: think a great defense needs to have needs to have.

748
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:18,560

Speaker 14: you got y you s. You could feel the energy

785
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 14: watching the film or watching the games of the defense

786
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 14: going taking the field, having fun, celebrateing to other people's success.

787
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 14: And uh, I feel like that's that's always under undervalue

788
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 14: for most teams, cause you a lot of places you

789
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 14: see a guy make a play and it's just him

790
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 14: celebrating the somebody else mad cause they missed the player

791
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 14: or something like that. When we make players out here,

792
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 14: everybody's going crazy and that energy transfers to the re

793
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 14: rest of the game's.

794
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 10: Sematically, everybody talks about the white man being you know,

795
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 10: pass rug, pass rush, but these roots are sort of

796
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 10: run you know, runs in run stopping.

797
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 4: What is it about it that makes it, you know,

798
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 4: good against the run.

799
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:18,520
Speaker 14: I feel like it helped sets up a firm edge.

800
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 14: And you know, we had the our defensive ends is

801
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 14: some of the best players in the league, and uh

802
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 14: they always sets the edge. And even when we run

803
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 14: different starts and things like that, we have our DB's

804
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 14: and linebackers coming down here super quick with it. So

805
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 14: I just everybody's just reacting to the ball and everybody's

806
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 14: trying to hit somebody.

807
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 1: When the players were done, it was time for the

808
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:40,480
Speaker 1: coordinators to speak to the media, and special teams coordinator

809
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 1: Bubba Ventrone went first. He talked about what Jalen Darden

810
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 1: provided the team last week in the return game, and

811
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 1: how big dens that Ward has been for this field

812
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 1: goal block unit.

813
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:55,040
Speaker 22: So that kick, Yeah, he had good rushes throughout the

814
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 22: entire game, and you know that's a that's a tough kick.

815
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 22: It's a pressure situation with a with a loud audience, and.

816
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 12: He had a he.

817
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 22: Had he got a good jump on the ball, so

818
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 22: he could have affected it.

819
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 7: Just once again, those fifty plus that he's getting now

820
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 7: four before you know what's going on with that?

821
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 8: And just can you just talk about how.

822
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:22,440
Speaker 7: He performed in it.

823
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:27,200
Speaker 22: He's just been very consistent on a day to day

824
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 22: basis with his routine and specific specifically to the operation

825
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 22: with Corey and Charlie. So I think that that is

826
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:39,480
Speaker 22: carried over into the game results.

827
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:42,680
Speaker 12: So he's he's a true professional.

828
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 22: He works at his craft, he understands the intricacies of

829
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 22: the position. He's a veteran and he's done a really

830
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 22: good job for our team.

831
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:54,720
Speaker 15: Well, what's the data, tell y'all.

832
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:55,680
Speaker 16: Running it out at the end.

833
00:31:57,360 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 8: Of cash.

834
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 22: I haven't looked at the data as of late. But

835
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:11,760
Speaker 22: if you feel confident in your in your players, then

836
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 22: that'll make it. That'll help you make the decision on

837
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:15,360
Speaker 22: what to do.

838
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 4: So did you what did you get out of Darden

839
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 4: and is he still in that role?

840
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 12: I thought he did a good job.

841
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 22: I thought he did a nice job in the game

842
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 22: and cut the one ball on the sideline, did a

843
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 22: nice job getting vertical.

844
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 12: I thought he the run style is what we're looking for.

845
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 22: So I thought that he you know, in the game,

846
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:38,960
Speaker 22: I felt like his judgment was pretty solid. He caught

847
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 22: the ball clean, protected it well. I think that I

848
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 22: think it's definitely an option now. I mean that'll be

849
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 22: made at the end of the week. You only have

850
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 22: so many elevations on a player, so you know, we'll

851
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 22: have those other guys ready, Donovan, we'll be ready to go.

852
00:32:58,120 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 4: Thoughts on uh.

853
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 23: The special teams player that you get to.

854
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 4: Talk to them at all.

855
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 12: Yeah, it was well deserved.

856
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 22: I thought it was obviously a competitive game, that every

857
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 22: point mattered, and obviously hit the big kick on the

858
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 22: position prior to them getting the ball, whatever it was

859
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:20,120
Speaker 22: to bring us within the ability to go ahead with

860
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 22: the with the field goals so critical in the game

861
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:25,240
Speaker 22: to have every point that we that we earned.

862
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 23: Talked about talks about too, how he celebrates the defense,

863
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:32,400
Speaker 23: celebrates after every you know, sad whatever, the case may

864
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 23: of getting big play. Do you guys do anything on

865
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 23: the special teams to that nature as well? Like did

866
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 23: you guys do anything for Dustin for winning that honor?

867
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 22: I would say that a thing that I would say

868
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 22: is pretty unique about our team, and Anthony Walker pointed

869
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:51,960
Speaker 22: out to me the other day, is it's a very

870
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 22: and I don't know how it's been here in the

871
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 22: past or really every every team is different, but I

872
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 22: would say that this team is very selfless, and you

873
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 22: can see whenever the offense makes a play, the defense

874
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:10,400
Speaker 22: goes crazy. When the defense makes a play, the offensive

875
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:11,239
Speaker 22: players are going nuts.

876
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:11,799
Speaker 12: When we hit that.

877
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:16,400
Speaker 22: Punt before half, you know, the sideline goes pretty pretty

878
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:20,240
Speaker 22: bananas because now they don't have an opportunity.

879
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:21,839
Speaker 12: To get into field goal range to kick a field goal.

880
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:24,520
Speaker 12: So I think that, you know, the.

881
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:27,200
Speaker 22: Culture that Kevin and ab have created with bringing in

882
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:31,239
Speaker 22: these players, especially this year specifically, from what I can see,

883
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:35,359
Speaker 22: is that there's a there's a unique bond with our

884
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:38,320
Speaker 22: team right now, and I feel like everyone's playing together

885
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:41,799
Speaker 22: and trying to do his best job as playing complimentary

886
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:44,400
Speaker 22: football in all three phases of the game.

887
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:48,680
Speaker 7: I hit a kept starting to ragin and stopping. What

888
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:51,879
Speaker 7: impact did that have on the data Dustin Hopkins had.

889
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 22: So I think early in the year we had we

890
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 22: had the rain game against Cincinnati, and I think being

891
00:34:57,560 --> 00:35:01,480
Speaker 22: able to have that experience in game with the ball handling,

892
00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:02,319
Speaker 22: the snap.

893
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 12: Operation that helps.

894
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 22: To have had some of that earlier in the year.

895
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 22: I don't think it played too much of a factor

896
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:11,279
Speaker 22: in this past game. They didn't really express any of

897
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 22: that to me. But look, whatever the conditions are, we're

898
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:17,600
Speaker 22: ready to play in them, and we're expecting the roof

899
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:19,360
Speaker 22: to be open in Indy this week.

900
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:22,480
Speaker 13: So he had the long Corey had the long punt

901
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:24,239
Speaker 13: before the half, and then I think he had four

902
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 13: inside the twenty nine game. How important was he to what.

903
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:27,359
Speaker 4: You guys did?

904
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:29,319
Speaker 12: Yeah, Corey did a nice job. He did a nice

905
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:29,920
Speaker 12: job the ball.

906
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 22: The ball before half was you know, completely flip the field.

907
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:35,320
Speaker 12: I think we ended up getting a penalty on that

908
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:36,399
Speaker 12: rep too.

909
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 22: From what I remembered, I think Odum held Rodney McLoud

910
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:43,279
Speaker 22: on that rep. But yeah, I mean, to be able

911
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:45,680
Speaker 22: to just take them out of like even remotely close

912
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:48,600
Speaker 22: to having an impact to try to get points on

913
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 22: the board before halftime was huge.

914
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:53,640
Speaker 18: Think about going back to the goals.

915
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:54,520
Speaker 12: I'm excited.

916
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 22: I'm excited for another opportunity, man, I'm excited for an

917
00:35:57,040 --> 00:36:03,399
Speaker 22: opportunity to get another win for Yeah, I mean there's

918
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 22: there's I would say there's a decent amount of personnel changes.

919
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:08,920
Speaker 22: You know, I had a great time when I was

920
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 22: in Indianapolis. You know, was able to work with a

921
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:15,440
Speaker 22: lot of really good special teams units, went to the

922
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:16,720
Speaker 22: playoffs a handful of times.

923
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:17,839
Speaker 4: Uh.

924
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 22: Extremely grateful to Frank right for the opportunity to to

925
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:25,320
Speaker 22: be the coordinator there in my in my time, and

926
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:29,719

927
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 22: like I had, I really enjoyed my time there, and

928
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:35,439
Speaker 22: now I'm excited for my time here.

929
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:38,719
Speaker 4: I was incited after the game that kicking towards the

930
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:40,759
Speaker 4: Dogtown side. The news was a little bit.

931
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:44,040
Speaker 8: Win year, So that final feel gality me was towards

932
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 8: that side. Did you guys talk about that at all?

933
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:49,759
Speaker 12: Yeah, we talked that.

934
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:51,480
Speaker 8: Kicks, especially for you guys ahead.

935
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:53,920
Speaker 12: Yeah, so we talked through that in in pregame.

936
00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 22: Well, always get like the distance the yard lines go

937
00:36:57,120 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 22: in each direction depending on what the win variations are,

938
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:03,799
Speaker 22: and things like that. On that and specifically on the

939
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 22: first kick where he missed where he missed where he

940
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:09,560
Speaker 22: missed the kick. I just asked him, you know, how

941
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:11,600
Speaker 22: how did that feel? You know, he said, I got

942
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:13,760
Speaker 22: good contact, but it wasn't the line that I wanted.

943
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:16,680
Speaker 22: So I think he obviously made the corrections as the

944
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:19,280
Speaker 22: game went along and was able to adjust to whatever

945
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 22: the wind was doing. So yeah, I thought he handled

946
00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:22,880
Speaker 22: it pretty well.

947
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:29,719
Speaker 2: Just how hard he did for that guy block a kick, right,

948
00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:31,719
Speaker 2: I mean, he looks like he's going as fast as

949
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:35,839
Speaker 2: anybody he does get it, So what has to what's

950
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:37,680
Speaker 2: his job or what has to happened for him to.

951
00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:38,440
Speaker 15: Affect the kick?

952
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 12: Yeah?

953
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 22: I think I mean it starts with your get off.

954
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:45,640
Speaker 22: You know, he's got extremely good instincts, and he's fast

955
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:48,960
Speaker 22: so and he bends well. So I think that those

956
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:51,200
Speaker 22: are all the I would say, the traits that you

957
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:54,560
Speaker 22: want in the position player like that for that spot.

958
00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:56,799
Speaker 22: And you know he's just he's a he's a good

959
00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:59,880
Speaker 22: football player. He's got good acceleration and burst. I mean

960
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:02,840
Speaker 22: ran like four to three oher. So I mean obviously

961
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 22: his start's going to be you know, something that has

962
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:08,279
Speaker 22: to enable him to be able to get there to go.

963
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:13,319
Speaker 10: What impact does the roof go ahead? What impact does

964
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:18,360
Speaker 10: the roof open have on that? I mean, is it

965
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:21,080
Speaker 10: a major impact or because you said you expect the

966
00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:22,200
Speaker 10: roof to be open.

967
00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 22: But yeah, they like they like to open it for

968
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:27,400
Speaker 22: whatever reason, even if it's like fifty or sixty degrees.

969
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:31,000
Speaker 22: I know that the players don't love it, and I

970
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:35,080
Speaker 22: don't think the fans do either, But it's there's not

971
00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:37,360
Speaker 22: a big impact in it.

972
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:38,320
Speaker 12: The wind pattern.

973
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:40,719
Speaker 22: I mean, we play, we play in Cleveland, I mean

974
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:42,759
Speaker 22: we have this is we have wind here that's not

975
00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:46,480
Speaker 22: even if the windows open there, it's not windy.

976
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:49,640
Speaker 12: But so it really doesn't have an impact.

977
00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:52,080
Speaker 22: But we're anticipating it will be open and it'll probably

978
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 22: be colder.

979
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:56,440
Speaker 21: To follow up on Scott's question with Denzel, I mean,

980
00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:58,319
Speaker 21: I know he I thought he was mad that he

981
00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:01,319
Speaker 21: wasn't able to block it. So just he's obviously competitive

982
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:04,040
Speaker 21: on the defensive side, which everyone knows, but just how

983
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 21: much of that competitiveness does.

984
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:06,880
Speaker 4: He bring when he's in there.

985
00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:08,040
Speaker 3: On those units for you?

986
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:12,560
Speaker 22: And I would say this for in speaking about Denzel

987
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:15,920
Speaker 22: and his role for us on that unit and with

988
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:18,799
Speaker 22: other starters, and I talked about this like early in

989
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:21,359
Speaker 22: the season, we have a lot of starters that are

990
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:25,279
Speaker 22: playing on one unit, two units, field goal field, whatever

991
00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:28,680
Speaker 22: it may be, and everyone's embracing those roles. You know,

992
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:33,600
Speaker 22: guys like you know, whether it's Dalvin Tomlinson playing on

993
00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:35,440
Speaker 22: our field goal unit last week, I don't know if

994
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:37,799
Speaker 22: anyone noticed that, but he did an incredible job he

995
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:38,360
Speaker 22: was playing that.

996
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:40,920
Speaker 12: He played our guard last week. We had a.

997
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:44,799
Speaker 22: Couple guys getting nicked up. So things like that. Back

998
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:47,719
Speaker 22: to the selfless thing. It's doing whatever it takes to

999
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:50,760
Speaker 22: win the game, right, and that's.

1000
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:51,120
Speaker 12: What a team.

1001
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:53,240
Speaker 22: That's what that's what football is. It's a team sport.

1002
00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 22: Everyone has to be willing to do whatever it takes

1003
00:39:56,080 --> 00:40:00,640
Speaker 22: to win. And fortunately, like our team has bought into that.

1004
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:04,719
Speaker 18: What do you make their kicker man five fifty.

1005
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:05,399
Speaker 4: Yards in that game?

1006
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:08,120
Speaker 12: Yeah, Matt's a good kicker. So we had Matt.

1007
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:10,160
Speaker 22: So I'm not sure if a lot of people know this,

1008
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:12,960
Speaker 22: we had Matt on practice squad in twenty twenty. So

1009
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:17,680
Speaker 22: he was drafted in nineteen, I want to say to Tampa.

1010
00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:21,880
Speaker 22: So he gets cut from Tampa and this kid was talented.

1011
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:24,319
Speaker 22: I had a high grade on him coming out he's

1012
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:29,280
Speaker 22: a field kicker and for whatever reason, didn't stick in Tampa.

1013
00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:32,239
Speaker 22: So we ended up signing him to practice squad and

1014
00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:36,600
Speaker 22: you could see like that he was gonna be the guy.

1015
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:40,920
Speaker 22: Like everyone in the building knew that that was a

1016
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:44,960
Speaker 22: dude and that we should have pulled the trigger and

1017
00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:47,080
Speaker 22: kept that guy and they would have saved themselves a

1018
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 22: lot of money.

1019
00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:52,200
Speaker 12: But everyone knew, I mean everyone knew.

1020
00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:55,799
Speaker 22: And he got poached late in the season by by

1021
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:58,680
Speaker 22: the Rams, and he's done.

1022
00:40:58,560 --> 00:40:59,760
Speaker 12: A really good job for himself.

1023
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:03,520
Speaker 22: I felt like coming to Indy enabled him to kind

1024
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:06,839
Speaker 22: of reset, get back to the basics.

1025
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:08,160
Speaker 12: And he found his he found his path.

1026
00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:12,120
Speaker 22: You know, I'm never gonna over coach a specialist and

1027
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:14,560
Speaker 22: kind of put them in their comfort zone. And I

1028
00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:16,560
Speaker 22: think I do a good job of managing those guys

1029
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:19,680
Speaker 22: to be able to have, you know, let them do

1030
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:22,279
Speaker 22: what they want to do to a degree and not

1031
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:26,080
Speaker 22: be too like dictatorship.

1032
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:27,719
Speaker 12: Amongst it, because some guys can be like that.

1033
00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:31,520
Speaker 22: And I think that I really do think it enabled

1034
00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:33,680
Speaker 22: him to get back on track. And credit to him

1035
00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:34,960
Speaker 22: for having a great career.

1036
00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:38,640
Speaker 2: In the home stadium.

1037
00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:39,880
Speaker 8: Do you know which Chad you want?

1038
00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:40,560
Speaker 4: The fourth quarter?

1039
00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:41,680
Speaker 3: Does it does it?

1040
00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:42,279
Speaker 21: Can it change?

1041
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:47,000
Speaker 22: It in in Indie Stadium? Oh, in Cleveland, I think

1042
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:50,440
Speaker 22: it changes, it changes, It definitely changes. There's times where

1043
00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:51,879
Speaker 22: we'll want to finish one.

1044
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:52,320
Speaker 12: Way or another.

1045
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:56,719
Speaker 22: It's happened already this season, so yeah, I always communicate

1046
00:41:56,760 --> 00:42:00,200
Speaker 22: with the specialist in pregame and then I'll communicate that

1047
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:02,439
Speaker 22: to Kevin before we go out, so.

1048
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:08,560
Speaker 10: They can only get the reverse like it did last

1049
00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:09,080
Speaker 10: sun maybe.

1050
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:12,640
Speaker 12: So I knew, I knew that it wasn't on us.

1051
00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:15,160
Speaker 22: I knew that it wasn't on us, and I knew

1052
00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:18,239
Speaker 22: that something got mixed up in the communication with the officials.

1053
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:20,600
Speaker 22: And you know, they look, they have a hard job.

1054
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:24,279
Speaker 22: They definitely have a hard job. And you know, fortunately

1055
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:27,319
Speaker 22: they got it right and they made it right, and

1056
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:29,759
Speaker 22: they they you know, they admitted that they that they

1057
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:32,640
Speaker 22: had made a mistake. Fortunately for us, they got it

1058
00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:37,320
Speaker 22: right and not to say that you know they didn't.

1059
00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:40,360
Speaker 12: Yeah, so it was it was it was good that

1060
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:40,839
Speaker 12: they got it.

1061
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:43,080
Speaker 22: Was good that they got it right because honestly, that

1062
00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:45,560
Speaker 22: would have been that's a big difference on that play.

1063
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:48,160
Speaker 22: I mean, we end up going from I want to

1064
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:51,480
Speaker 22: say the ball started like the twenty eight maybe and

1065
00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:53,920
Speaker 22: we got it to thirty eight and we would have

1066
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:56,359
Speaker 22: been like inside the twenty whatever was something like that.

1067
00:42:57,200 --> 00:43:00,839
Speaker 22: So it was definitely a big, big thing for us

1068
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:01,440
Speaker 22: to get that right.

1069
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:07,319
Speaker 12: Nandy, what did you see like.

1070
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:10,960
Speaker 8: The difference in their distance or feel like was.

1071
00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:12,240
Speaker 15: It the same world?

1072
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:13,560
Speaker 19: Were they able to maybe go.

1073
00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:15,680
Speaker 4: Five yards more in the dome?

1074
00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:22,400
Speaker 22: And Yeah, I think typically when you're playing with ideal

1075
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:25,839
Speaker 22: conditions inside in a dome, that you're gonna be able

1076
00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:28,600
Speaker 22: to get more distance on the ball unless the you'd win,

1077
00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:32,799
Speaker 22: unless you had wind at your back. So yeah, I'd

1078
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:35,480
Speaker 22: say typically inside you can hit for for further distances.

1079
00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:38,680
Speaker 3: Ask about going back to Matt.

1080
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:40,160
Speaker 13: Real quick, you know, drafted guy.

1081
00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:41,919
Speaker 8: You guys had a guy like that here.

1082
00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:43,160
Speaker 12: Dustin was a guy that.

1083
00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:45,319
Speaker 13: Got drafted and didn't stick with his original team. Money

1084
00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:48,360
Speaker 13: think it's hard for drafted kickers sometimes just stick with

1085
00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:49,520
Speaker 13: their original teams.

1086
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:51,200
Speaker 12: I don't know.

1087
00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:55,440
Speaker 22: I think that what in football, just in in every

1088
00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:59,439
Speaker 22: in every fast, at every position, there's a trans there's

1089
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:05,080
Speaker 22: a transition from college to pro right, and there's there's more,

1090
00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:09,680
Speaker 22: there's more pressure in the NFL. There's more as far

1091
00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:11,640
Speaker 22: as like like a rush, you're going with the rush

1092
00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:15,160
Speaker 22: you're dealing with the different operation, the balls are different.

1093
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:19,760
Speaker 12: And sometimes it does take time with younger players.

1094
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:23,279
Speaker 22: I mean you can see, for example, Daniel Carlson gets

1095
00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:26,719
Speaker 22: drafted to Minnesota, has a few miss kicks early in

1096
00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:31,960
Speaker 22: his career, and they move on and now he's he

1097
00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:34,319
Speaker 22: was like a Pro Bowl kicker in Vegas, so and

1098
00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:35,880
Speaker 22: he's super talented.

1099
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:40,760
Speaker 12: Same with Matt Gay, you know, and look.

1100
00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:46,440
Speaker 22: There's there's there's position players that are drafted high that

1101
00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:49,280
Speaker 22: don't pan out too. So it's like it's it's every position.

1102
00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:51,960
Speaker 22: I mean, you would you would hope that if you're

1103
00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:56,120
Speaker 22: drafting a kicker that you that they are going to develop.

1104
00:44:57,000 --> 00:45:00,239
Speaker 1: So offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt was next. He talked

1105
00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:03,239
Speaker 1: about what he saw from PJ Walker in the film

1106
00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:05,239
Speaker 1: from last week's game, and also what it's going to

1107
00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:10,040
Speaker 1: be like getting Joel Buttonio back for the team.

1108
00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:12,200
Speaker 4: Yeah. I think he's scheduled to get out there and

1109
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:13,720
Speaker 4: make some throws.

1110
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:16,200
Speaker 17: So part of the process of him just you know,

1111
00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:19,879
Speaker 17: trying to get back ready to play good, to get

1112
00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:21,440
Speaker 17: him out there with the guys.

1113
00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:30,359
Speaker 7: Does that mean that he's trending towards.

1114
00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:31,160
Speaker 17: I hate to put a say that Mary Kay I

1115
00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:34,160
Speaker 17: know he's he's it's getting better obviously because he's gonna

1116
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:34,799
Speaker 17: be out there today.

1117
00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:39,000
Speaker 7: And I'll say that, but nothing has gone according to

1118
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:40,640
Speaker 7: to Hoil in this whole process.

1119
00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:42,960
Speaker 17: Right, So you guys are probably ramping them up, getting

1120
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:45,200
Speaker 17: them ready, getting them back, so you know, we'll see

1121
00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:45,840
Speaker 17: how it goes today.

1122
00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:47,560
Speaker 4: But excited to get him back out on the field.

1123
00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:48,360
Speaker 4: I know he's excited.

1124
00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:54,279
Speaker 17: No not, I have not the sessions that I think

1125
00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:57,320
Speaker 17: he's been inside most of the time, so I have

1126
00:45:57,440 --> 00:46:00,239
Speaker 17: not been able to but I heard it's getting getting

1127
00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:02,240
Speaker 17: better each time. So it's good.

1128
00:46:02,239 --> 00:46:04,600
Speaker 11: Just says how PJ did last week and how comfortable

1129
00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:05,480
Speaker 11: are you with him.

1130
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:06,439
Speaker 8: That he has to go again.

1131
00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:08,319
Speaker 17: Yeah, I mean you're only going to get better every

1132
00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:10,919
Speaker 17: time you get more experience, right, you know, I thought

1133
00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:13,200
Speaker 17: he battled hard in that game, did a lot of

1134
00:46:13,239 --> 00:46:16,480
Speaker 17: really good things. You know, as always, you're going to

1135
00:46:16,560 --> 00:46:19,480
Speaker 17: have a few plays you want back, you know, but

1136
00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:21,800
Speaker 17: you know the times that we put the ball in

1137
00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:24,480
Speaker 17: harm's way, I thought he made two great plays getting

1138
00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:28,279
Speaker 17: the interceptor down, especially the first time to be able

1139
00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:30,240
Speaker 17: to throw that pick to fifty four and then tackle

1140
00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:32,479
Speaker 17: him and then have our defense be able to hold.

1141
00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:34,560
Speaker 17: Those are a huge play by him in that game.

1142
00:46:34,880 --> 00:46:36,400
Speaker 17: It was a it was a double minus and then

1143
00:46:36,400 --> 00:46:40,239
Speaker 17: a double plus. So you know, but but that's things

1144
00:46:40,280 --> 00:46:43,239
Speaker 17: you'll learn from each week. Very comfortable with PJ starts.

1145
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:44,360
Speaker 4: Again this week. I think he's going to be a

1146
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:46,919
Speaker 4: week better in our system. Shock went through.

1147
00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:51,640
Speaker 17: The Uh yeah, a little shocked. But that's part of

1148
00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:53,799
Speaker 17: that's part of the that's part of the process. You know,

1149
00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:55,359
Speaker 17: we got to I got to communicate to him better

1150
00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:58,319
Speaker 17: in that situation. But you know, that's that's stuff that

1151
00:46:58,560 --> 00:46:59,919
Speaker 17: will improve from each week.

1152
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:03,960
Speaker 4: You know, just slide. You like to keep that clock

1153
00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:05,560
Speaker 4: running in that situation. For sure.

1154
00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:08,480
Speaker 13: Seems like he understood pretty quickly throw the ball to

1155
00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:09,160
Speaker 13: Amari Cooper.

1156
00:47:09,239 --> 00:47:09,919
Speaker 4: Good things happen.

1157
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:11,680
Speaker 13: How much does a tuple guy like him to have

1158
00:47:11,760 --> 00:47:12,319
Speaker 13: two out there?

1159
00:47:12,719 --> 00:47:14,600
Speaker 17: Oh, it's huge, you know. And that was a challenge

1160
00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:16,640
Speaker 17: for those receivers going in that week. That was a

1161
00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:20,520
Speaker 17: physical group of corners. They were grabby their physical to

1162
00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:22,680
Speaker 17: line of scrimmage, and we challenged our receivers to make

1163
00:47:22,719 --> 00:47:25,759
Speaker 17: place on fifty to fifty balls, you know. In the

1164
00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:27,400
Speaker 17: second one there where he went up over top of

1165
00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:29,520
Speaker 17: the guy, that was a great job by Mariy.

1166
00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:30,600
Speaker 4: But anytime you.

1167
00:47:30,520 --> 00:47:32,600
Speaker 17: Have a guy that that that that you know his

1168
00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:35,480
Speaker 17: stature of mari out there, you feel very comfortable giving

1169
00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:38,319
Speaker 17: him opportunities later in the game. We gave him an

1170
00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:40,360
Speaker 17: opportunity in the double coverage and that's where we just

1171
00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:43,080
Speaker 17: as a quarterback, we need to draw that line of

1172
00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:45,279
Speaker 17: making a better decision on that that one play.

1173
00:47:46,200 --> 00:47:48,279
Speaker 21: I know India has caused like a decent number of

1174
00:47:48,320 --> 00:47:50,520
Speaker 21: takeaways and obviously ball security. It sounds like it's a

1175
00:47:50,520 --> 00:47:53,279
Speaker 21: big emphasis for you guys after the bye. Just how

1176
00:47:53,360 --> 00:47:54,959
Speaker 21: much war is it this week?

1177
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:55,960
Speaker 4: With it always? Is?

1178
00:47:56,080 --> 00:47:59,719
Speaker 17: It really is? This is a ball searching team. You know,

1179
00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:02,640
Speaker 17: they're they're really good at it.

1180
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:06,120
Speaker 4: Uh. You know, there's a ton of attack on the ball.

1181
00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:06,920
Speaker 4: It's on the film.

1182
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:10,680
Speaker 17: So we've definitely showed our guys that those those plays.

1183
00:48:10,320 --> 00:48:12,480
Speaker 4: And and made them aware. UH.

1184
00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:15,879
Speaker 17: Coach Tefanski challenged our defensive scout team to get.

1185
00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:17,759
Speaker 4: A ball out uh this week.

1186
00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:19,480
Speaker 17: So they're trying hard to get it out and we're

1187
00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:22,720
Speaker 17: trying hard to protect its defense.

1188
00:48:22,760 --> 00:48:24,360
Speaker 8: Making plays after those turnel devas of.

1189
00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:25,120
Speaker 2: Those sort of piece of.

1190
00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:26,960
Speaker 22: Line is like getting you know, or you have that

1191
00:48:27,080 --> 00:48:27,680
Speaker 22: kind of give.

1192
00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:28,600
Speaker 13: It on the other side of the ball.

1193
00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:32,440
Speaker 17: You know, you don't want to, you know, as offensive players,

1194
00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:34,040
Speaker 17: you don't want to say, hey, let the defense win

1195
00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:36,680
Speaker 17: for you. But h man, it's it's it's a it

1196
00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:38,719
Speaker 17: is a comforting feeling knowing they're playing at such a

1197
00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:41,200
Speaker 17: high level. On the other side, you don't have to

1198
00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:45,319
Speaker 17: be perfect on offense, you know, because you know they're

1199
00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:46,600
Speaker 17: gonna be able to help you out at times.

1200
00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:47,400
Speaker 4: Now what we want to be.

1201
00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:50,440
Speaker 17: Perfect, absolutely, so we're striving for that, but it is

1202
00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:52,359
Speaker 17: a good feeling to know that that defense is playing

1203
00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:53,040
Speaker 17: at a high level.

1204
00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:54,799
Speaker 7: Seawn, this this.

1205
00:48:55,360 --> 00:48:58,359
Speaker 24: Shoulder ender has been kind of await to see, kind

1206
00:48:58,360 --> 00:49:00,520
Speaker 24: of that's have you seen him to be able to

1207
00:49:00,600 --> 00:49:05,960
Speaker 24: respond to a certainty es and maybe our exit tomorrow.

1208
00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:06,200
Speaker 18: Kind of thing.

1209
00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:08,080
Speaker 17: You know, I think he's really taking the day at

1210
00:49:08,080 --> 00:49:11,080
Speaker 17: a time, you know, not looking too far ahead and

1211
00:49:11,160 --> 00:49:13,800
Speaker 17: just trying to get better and through his rehab process

1212
00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:16,719
Speaker 17: each day. He's been great in the room, very positive,

1213
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:19,360
Speaker 17: you know, last week with PJ as a starter. So

1214
00:49:20,200 --> 00:49:22,440
Speaker 17: he's doing all the right things. But you know, I

1215
00:49:22,480 --> 00:49:23,920
Speaker 17: know it's it's tough for him. He wants to be

1216
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:26,040
Speaker 17: out there worse than anybody, you.

1217
00:49:26,040 --> 00:49:28,520
Speaker 2: Guys, because is as simple as you just need to

1218
00:49:29,280 --> 00:49:31,239
Speaker 2: need to see him throw what he has and for

1219
00:49:31,360 --> 00:49:34,480
Speaker 2: him too that once he gets that clears adbergo.

1220
00:49:34,840 --> 00:49:35,520
Speaker 15: Everything else to do.

1221
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:37,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that's that's probably common sense.

1222
00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:39,560
Speaker 17: You know, as soon as he feels well enough to

1223
00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:41,120
Speaker 17: be able to make all the throws on the field,

1224
00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:44,799
Speaker 17: that's probably when he'll be ready to go. Not sure

1225
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:46,560
Speaker 17: when that'll be, but that's part of the process. Yeah,

1226
00:49:46,600 --> 00:49:49,720
Speaker 17: I'd hate to ask anybody to go out there limited,

1227
00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:52,480
Speaker 17: you know, and especially when you're a quarterback and that's

1228
00:49:52,480 --> 00:49:54,440
Speaker 17: you're living to throw on the ball. So he's got

1229
00:49:54,480 --> 00:49:56,200
Speaker 17: to feel good about it. We have to also have

1230
00:49:56,239 --> 00:49:58,200
Speaker 17: to feel good about it. But I think we're you know,

1231
00:49:58,239 --> 00:49:59,640
Speaker 17: we're seeing him get better every day.

1232
00:50:00,280 --> 00:50:03,040
Speaker 2: Other like the mental aspect, like he's been engaged where

1233
00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:06,319
Speaker 2: if that clicks, then you feel comfortable with him being ready.

1234
00:50:06,440 --> 00:50:08,279
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, no, he was doing that last week. You know.

1235
00:50:08,360 --> 00:50:10,480
Speaker 17: I think he's prepared like he's going to start the

1236
00:50:10,520 --> 00:50:11,080
Speaker 17: game each of the.

1237
00:50:11,040 --> 00:50:13,799
Speaker 4: Week, so he's he's uh, he's fully.

1238
00:50:13,719 --> 00:50:15,840
Speaker 17: Immersed in the game plan and ready to go if

1239
00:50:16,719 --> 00:50:18,399
Speaker 17: he fills up to it on Sunday, for sure.

1240
00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:21,080
Speaker 7: We're something out on the shoulder that you know that

1241
00:50:21,120 --> 00:50:24,279
Speaker 7: wouldn't really restrict growing that much, but protect him at

1242
00:50:24,280 --> 00:50:24,759
Speaker 7: the same time.

1243
00:50:25,560 --> 00:50:28,440
Speaker 17: Yeah, I mean, yeah, definitely, there's definitely things you could do,

1244
00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:30,439
Speaker 17: you know, tape a pad inside of your path.

1245
00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:32,239
Speaker 4: You know, there's definitely different things.

1246
00:50:31,880 --> 00:50:34,360
Speaker 17: I'm not sure what or where they are on that,

1247
00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:35,920
Speaker 17: but yeah, you can definitely protect it.

1248
00:50:36,719 --> 00:50:37,319
Speaker 15: Did you want to.

1249
00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:40,640
Speaker 18: Give PG as running reps as possible if it looks

1250
00:50:40,680 --> 00:50:45,120
Speaker 18: like he's started, honey, interrupt his game preparation?

1251
00:50:45,320 --> 00:50:48,520
Speaker 17: Sure, that's yeah, that's that's a hard balance. You know,

1252
00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:50,759
Speaker 17: you're trying to make sure that that he's ready and

1253
00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:52,880
Speaker 17: at the same time, if if Deshaun's ready, then you

1254
00:50:52,920 --> 00:50:55,080
Speaker 17: want to make sure. You know, so you're juggling back

1255
00:50:55,080 --> 00:50:58,200
Speaker 17: and forth. But you know, as a backup quarterback, that's

1256
00:50:58,200 --> 00:51:00,160
Speaker 17: your life. You know, you're used to not taking a

1257
00:51:00,200 --> 00:51:01,799
Speaker 17: ton of reps and you know have to come up

1258
00:51:01,840 --> 00:51:03,920
Speaker 17: and get get hot right away and go.

1259
00:51:04,040 --> 00:51:05,600
Speaker 4: So it's it's good practice for him.

1260
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:07,680
Speaker 17: If he's you know, if he gets all the reps, great,

1261
00:51:07,719 --> 00:51:09,560
Speaker 17: and if he gets half the reps great, you know

1262
00:51:09,640 --> 00:51:10,399
Speaker 17: we're gonna roll with.

1263
00:51:10,320 --> 00:51:13,239
Speaker 4: The punches on that one. To have is it to

1264
00:51:13,520 --> 00:51:15,080
Speaker 4: Joel back? Just how weird?

1265
00:51:15,239 --> 00:51:18,160
Speaker 2: Was it not out for the first time this year.

1266
00:51:18,560 --> 00:51:20,880
Speaker 4: It was weird. Yeah, just see him dressed in you know,

1267
00:51:21,440 --> 00:51:23,440
Speaker 4: on a raincoat on the sidelines. Strange.

1268
00:51:23,600 --> 00:51:26,680
Speaker 17: Uh, you know, just talking to him after the game,

1269
00:51:26,680 --> 00:51:27,279
Speaker 17: it killed him.

1270
00:51:27,320 --> 00:51:29,080
Speaker 4: You know, it was really really weird feeling for him.

1271
00:51:29,080 --> 00:51:29,600
Speaker 4: I'm sure.

1272
00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:32,439
Speaker 17: But you know, anytime you can plug a veteran guy

1273
00:51:32,480 --> 00:51:35,279
Speaker 17: that's a pro bowler in there, you know, it's good

1274
00:51:35,280 --> 00:51:35,640
Speaker 17: for us.

1275
00:51:35,800 --> 00:51:37,520
Speaker 4: We're happy to be really happy to have him back.

1276
00:51:37,600 --> 00:51:39,640
Speaker 17: But I tell you this, I'll say this about Mike Dunn.

1277
00:51:40,120 --> 00:51:42,600
Speaker 17: He played his butt off. I mean he Uh, most

1278
00:51:42,600 --> 00:51:44,879
Speaker 17: guys would have come out after the halftime. He pulled

1279
00:51:44,880 --> 00:51:47,640
Speaker 17: his calf right before the half and he played on

1280
00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:49,680
Speaker 17: one leg the whole second half. And that's a tribute

1281
00:51:49,719 --> 00:51:52,240
Speaker 17: to his toughness. And uh, I know he was greatly

1282
00:51:52,239 --> 00:51:53,360
Speaker 17: appreciated by that offense.

1283
00:51:55,520 --> 00:51:59,040
Speaker 8: Good about an injury like this where it's Dave Dave

1284
00:51:59,080 --> 00:52:00,200
Speaker 8: for his mom was up.

1285
00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:06,200
Speaker 17: Yeah, yes, yes, I have.

1286
00:52:06,760 --> 00:52:08,000
Speaker 4: You just got to go day to day. I mean,

1287
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:09,440
Speaker 4: you can't be up and down.

1288
00:52:09,480 --> 00:52:12,360
Speaker 17: That's you know, it's all gonna be based on how

1289
00:52:12,440 --> 00:52:13,400
Speaker 17: quickly it heals.

1290
00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:14,360
Speaker 4: And gets back to one hundred percent.

1291
00:52:14,920 --> 00:52:17,800
Speaker 8: I know what is impressed to you about just the way.

1292
00:52:17,640 --> 00:52:20,200
Speaker 7: That Jerome and Kareem have gone the run of new feelings.

1293
00:52:20,239 --> 00:52:23,319
Speaker 17: A see says game, Yeah, that was big. Those guys

1294
00:52:23,440 --> 00:52:26,120
Speaker 17: ran hard. I thought Kareem ran extremely hard. Like he

1295
00:52:26,600 --> 00:52:28,680
Speaker 17: you know, he made some tough four or five yard runs.

1296
00:52:29,239 --> 00:52:30,920
Speaker 17: You know that there was there was a crease there

1297
00:52:30,920 --> 00:52:33,520
Speaker 17: and he put his head down and and did some

1298
00:52:33,640 --> 00:52:36,160
Speaker 17: really dirty work in between the tackles. You know, he's

1299
00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:38,640
Speaker 17: a great screen runner, you know that. And then Jerome, man,

1300
00:52:38,680 --> 00:52:40,640
Speaker 17: he's nifty in there. He's tough to bring down. He's

1301
00:52:40,640 --> 00:52:43,320
Speaker 17: got great feet. He had some huge runs, especially in

1302
00:52:43,360 --> 00:52:45,799
Speaker 17: that fourth quarter. So happy with where those guys are

1303
00:52:45,880 --> 00:52:46,160
Speaker 17: right now.

1304
00:52:46,640 --> 00:52:49,000
Speaker 21: That's the way that they able to manage that together

1305
00:52:49,160 --> 00:52:51,440
Speaker 21: and the way like just their connections to do more.

1306
00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:53,600
Speaker 17: I guess yeah, no, they that's a that's a great room.

1307
00:52:53,640 --> 00:52:56,160
Speaker 17: Stump always keeps that room a nice and tight and

1308
00:52:56,200 --> 00:52:58,200
Speaker 17: they do a great job. You know, Pierre is another

1309
00:52:58,239 --> 00:53:00,120
Speaker 17: guy that that can come in and help us and

1310
00:53:00,239 --> 00:53:02,839
Speaker 17: some good things on special teams, and you know, maybe

1311
00:53:02,920 --> 00:53:04,960
Speaker 17: he gets some more touches to what.

1312
00:53:05,120 --> 00:53:08,200
Speaker 8: Is unique about Indianapolis defensively.

1313
00:53:08,120 --> 00:53:13,120
Speaker 17: Yeah, it's definitely a distinctive defense. With Gus Bradley, you know,

1314
00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:15,680
Speaker 17: he's been playing it for a long time. I've played

1315
00:53:15,680 --> 00:53:17,759
Speaker 17: a lot against that style of defense over the course

1316
00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:18,200
Speaker 17: of the years.

1317
00:53:18,680 --> 00:53:19,880
Speaker 4: It's unique in the fact.

1318
00:53:19,719 --> 00:53:22,200
Speaker 17: That it's it's a lot of zone, you know, a

1319
00:53:22,239 --> 00:53:24,960
Speaker 17: lot of zone, a lot of weak rotation with the safety,

1320
00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:27,319
Speaker 17: some unique looks where they keep the safety a little

1321
00:53:27,320 --> 00:53:30,120
Speaker 17: bit higher and the and their single high. You know,

1322
00:53:30,160 --> 00:53:32,360
Speaker 17: they chief their safety to the field. It's a sixty

1323
00:53:32,440 --> 00:53:36,200
Speaker 17: forty look. It's it's a distinctive defense and they play

1324
00:53:36,239 --> 00:53:38,080
Speaker 17: it really well. You know, it's not a lot of

1325
00:53:38,600 --> 00:53:41,800
Speaker 17: complexity to it, but they understand where they are in

1326
00:53:41,840 --> 00:53:44,560
Speaker 17: each coverage, call each run fit, and they play it

1327
00:53:44,640 --> 00:53:45,040
Speaker 17: really well.

1328
00:53:47,239 --> 00:53:49,680
Speaker 10: Not having a stewart there kind of in the middle

1329
00:53:49,680 --> 00:53:53,160
Speaker 10: of that defensive line, Cobby other does that impact you

1330
00:53:53,239 --> 00:53:54,640
Speaker 10: know what, what kind of impact are.

1331
00:53:54,600 --> 00:53:57,759
Speaker 17: You expecting that they have, Well, it's you're taking a

1332
00:53:57,840 --> 00:54:00,400
Speaker 17: really good run stopper out of their out of their front.

1333
00:54:00,760 --> 00:54:00,920
Speaker 10: You know.

1334
00:54:01,320 --> 00:54:03,600
Speaker 17: Earlier in the week, we you know, you I d

1335
00:54:03,800 --> 00:54:07,040
Speaker 17: the the issues, uh that they present from a you know,

1336
00:54:07,120 --> 00:54:09,439
Speaker 17: a personnel standpoint, and he was one of the guys

1337
00:54:09,480 --> 00:54:13,000
Speaker 17: that was definitely highlighted as a premier player on that defense.

1338
00:54:13,040 --> 00:54:15,000
Speaker 4: So that that'll be uh, you know, a little bit

1339
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:16,359
Speaker 4: of a blow to that defense for sure.

1340
00:54:16,880 --> 00:54:19,759
Speaker 18: Is this kind of reminiscent of last year where you

1341
00:54:19,840 --> 00:54:22,360
Speaker 18: got one quarterback and you're gonna do these plays and

1342
00:54:23,360 --> 00:54:26,320
Speaker 18: maybe the other quarterback comes in and you did these plays.

1343
00:54:27,360 --> 00:54:31,320
Speaker 4: Similar similar, not quite the same, but it is similar.

1344
00:54:32,239 --> 00:54:35,440
Speaker 17: You know, There's definitely things that Deshaun can do that

1345
00:54:35,520 --> 00:54:38,359
Speaker 17: PJ can't, and we wouldn't ask PJ to be put

1346
00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:41,480
Speaker 17: in those situations. So I don't know if it's a

1347
00:54:41,520 --> 00:54:44,680
Speaker 17: wholesale this or that, like it was a little bit

1348
00:54:44,760 --> 00:54:46,120
Speaker 17: last year, but there is a little bit of that

1349
00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:46,759
Speaker 17: for sure.

1350
00:54:48,080 --> 00:54:51,879
Speaker 4: I think overall, you line to protection line gets good time.

1351
00:54:52,600 --> 00:54:55,080
Speaker 17: I mean, hats off, you know they they are in

1352
00:54:55,160 --> 00:54:56,920
Speaker 17: the game ball last week across the board.

1353
00:54:57,440 --> 00:54:58,640
Speaker 4: Thought they played extremely well.

1354
00:54:58,640 --> 00:55:00,480
Speaker 17: I thought Jed Maya had one of his best games

1355
00:55:00,719 --> 00:55:02,760
Speaker 17: as a Brown as a pass protector.

1356
00:55:02,760 --> 00:55:04,800
Speaker 4: And then Dewan Uh, you know, he lit up and

1357
00:55:04,840 --> 00:55:05,120
Speaker 4: came on.

1358
00:55:05,280 --> 00:55:07,560
Speaker 17: I mean, his strength is passed pro and you know,

1359
00:55:07,719 --> 00:55:10,600
Speaker 17: and you know, if he would have struggled, I think

1360
00:55:10,600 --> 00:55:12,279
Speaker 17: Bosa would have stayed on that side the whole game.

1361
00:55:12,360 --> 00:55:13,640
Speaker 4: So he was bouncing back and forth.

1362
00:55:13,719 --> 00:55:15,920
Speaker 17: So I was really proud of both tackles, especially in

1363
00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:18,279
Speaker 17: their pass protection, and then that internal guys again, Mike

1364
00:55:18,360 --> 00:55:20,800
Speaker 17: Donn you know, Poe played one of his best games.

1365
00:55:20,880 --> 00:55:23,840
Speaker 17: Why it played really strong, So they definitely carried this

1366
00:55:23,960 --> 00:55:24,919
Speaker 17: offensively up front.

1367
00:55:25,160 --> 00:55:27,640
Speaker 1: Jim Schwartz was the final person to talk to the

1368
00:55:27,719 --> 00:55:31,080
Speaker 1: media today, and our defensive coordinator talked about what he's

1369
00:55:31,120 --> 00:55:35,000
Speaker 1: seen from third year linebacker Jeremiah Owusu Coromoa and how

1370
00:55:35,040 --> 00:55:37,560
Speaker 1: important he thinks it's been for this defense to stop

1371
00:55:37,640 --> 00:55:37,960
Speaker 1: the run.

1372
00:55:38,360 --> 00:55:41,720
Speaker 15: Okay, the White nine has.

1373
00:55:42,320 --> 00:55:45,040
Speaker 10: A lot of times have been connected with pass rush,

1374
00:55:45,280 --> 00:55:48,480
Speaker 10: but in trouts are sort of run run, you know,

1375
00:55:48,560 --> 00:55:52,759
Speaker 10: stopping the run. Base how can you describe how it

1376
00:55:53,600 --> 00:55:55,120
Speaker 10: how it fits stopping the run?

1377
00:55:55,239 --> 00:55:55,279
Speaker 3: What?

1378
00:55:55,480 --> 00:55:55,520
Speaker 7: What?

1379
00:55:55,719 --> 00:55:59,920
Speaker 4: What makes it such a good front for for doing that?

1380
00:56:00,400 --> 00:56:02,560
Speaker 19: Well, you know, think about this, A lot of people

1381
00:56:02,600 --> 00:56:07,400
Speaker 19: associated three four with stopping the run with that Sam linebacker.

1382
00:56:07,520 --> 00:56:11,200
Speaker 19: Go back here when when the Browns were leading the

1383
00:56:11,280 --> 00:56:14,879
Speaker 19: league in defense in ninety four and think about under

1384
00:56:14,960 --> 00:56:18,000
Speaker 19: defense with like Carl Banks out there and that same

1385
00:56:18,120 --> 00:56:18,719
Speaker 19: wide nine.

1386
00:56:19,200 --> 00:56:20,920
Speaker 15: What we did is we found a way to.

1387
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:24,799
Speaker 19: Sort of play a hybrid three four and play nine

1388
00:56:24,880 --> 00:56:29,520
Speaker 19: technique and play wide fives to set edges and you know,

1389
00:56:29,680 --> 00:56:30,040
Speaker 19: number one.

1390
00:56:30,120 --> 00:56:32,000
Speaker 15: It puts us in good position to rust the passer.

1391
00:56:32,080 --> 00:56:32,840
Speaker 15: But also.

1392
00:56:34,160 --> 00:56:37,320
Speaker 19: You know, it sets hard edges, makes people funnel the

1393
00:56:37,400 --> 00:56:40,000
Speaker 19: ball back inside. It's good at taking away the outside

1394
00:56:40,080 --> 00:56:45,400
Speaker 19: run game. And you know, historically for me, you'd have

1395
00:56:45,480 --> 00:56:48,040
Speaker 19: to fact check me on the run stats. But I

1396
00:56:48,120 --> 00:56:50,920
Speaker 19: think in my five years in Philly combined we were

1397
00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:52,200
Speaker 19: number one and run defense.

1398
00:56:52,640 --> 00:56:54,960
Speaker 15: I'm not don't. I mean, I'm not one hundred percent.

1399
00:56:54,960 --> 00:56:56,000
Speaker 15: I know at one time it was.

1400
00:56:56,040 --> 00:56:58,279
Speaker 19: I don't know if it finished that way, but we

1401
00:56:58,360 --> 00:57:01,319
Speaker 19: take a lot of pride in stopping run and if

1402
00:57:01,320 --> 00:57:03,359
Speaker 19: you're going to rush to pass r you better stop

1403
00:57:03,440 --> 00:57:05,520
Speaker 19: the run. And you know, you just doll it back.

1404
00:57:05,560 --> 00:57:07,080
Speaker 19: A couple of weeks, we didn't do a great job

1405
00:57:07,120 --> 00:57:09,480
Speaker 19: stopping to run against the Ravens. We didn't have very

1406
00:57:09,480 --> 00:57:12,680
Speaker 19: many opportunities to rush to passer. So our defensive ends

1407
00:57:12,760 --> 00:57:16,200
Speaker 19: know that. And you know the combination of both of

1408
00:57:16,280 --> 00:57:19,040
Speaker 19: those to put teams in second and longs and third

1409
00:57:19,120 --> 00:57:21,520
Speaker 19: down and longs. You know, I thought that was key

1410
00:57:21,600 --> 00:57:23,840
Speaker 19: to the Sam Fran game, that's putting them in the

1411
00:57:23,960 --> 00:57:29,280
Speaker 19: second and long situations and make big offenses predictable when

1412
00:57:29,320 --> 00:57:31,800
Speaker 19: you're constantly playing second and one to six. You know,

1413
00:57:31,880 --> 00:57:33,760
Speaker 19: the offense has you where they are, So it's all

1414
00:57:33,800 --> 00:57:34,640
Speaker 19: part of the same thing.

1415
00:57:37,120 --> 00:57:39,760
Speaker 18: A couple of weeks ago, you talked about dealing with success.

1416
00:57:41,400 --> 00:57:45,000
Speaker 18: Tachoss get a lot of love nationally right now, how

1417
00:57:45,040 --> 00:57:47,040
Speaker 18: do you tamp it down the next year?

1418
00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:50,720
Speaker 19: Well, you know, they don't. They don't give out any

1419
00:57:50,760 --> 00:57:53,120
Speaker 19: trophies for five weeks. I think we all know that

1420
00:57:54,080 --> 00:57:57,000
Speaker 19: it's a long season and we're gonna have to survive

1421
00:57:57,080 --> 00:57:59,680
Speaker 19: a lot of highs end lows throughout the season. We

1422
00:57:59,800 --> 00:58:02,440
Speaker 19: have some experienced players, we have some experienced coaches that

1423
00:58:02,600 --> 00:58:05,200
Speaker 19: have been there that know that, and I think that's

1424
00:58:05,280 --> 00:58:08,280
Speaker 19: one of the things that you know that keeps us grounded,

1425
00:58:10,160 --> 00:58:12,400
Speaker 19: you know, So you know, let me know when the

1426
00:58:12,520 --> 00:58:15,760
Speaker 19: five week stats are part of the tiebreaker. You know

1427
00:58:16,600 --> 00:58:19,360
Speaker 19: when they are, we'll really concentrate on that. You know,

1428
00:58:19,440 --> 00:58:22,520
Speaker 19: we're trying. We're trying to be good each and every game,

1429
00:58:23,040 --> 00:58:24,880
Speaker 19: find a way to give ourselves a chance to win

1430
00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:28,160
Speaker 19: every Sunday, and try to be consistent. Is the NFL,

1431
00:58:28,280 --> 00:58:31,560
Speaker 19: You're not always going to have a great performance every week,

1432
00:58:31,720 --> 00:58:33,960
Speaker 19: but we need to find a way to minimize our

1433
00:58:34,040 --> 00:58:38,880
Speaker 19: poor performances, minimize our poor plays and accentuate our positives

1434
00:58:38,920 --> 00:58:42,160
Speaker 19: and keep our eyes on that, you know, that destination.

1435
00:58:43,320 --> 00:58:47,080
Speaker 19: You know, sometimes you can react and overreact to short

1436
00:58:47,200 --> 00:58:50,200
Speaker 19: term things. You know, you can you can paddle the

1437
00:58:50,280 --> 00:58:52,840
Speaker 19: canoe too hard on one side, and you know, and

1438
00:58:52,920 --> 00:58:55,360
Speaker 19: then you're adjusting, and pretty soon you're just weaving and

1439
00:58:55,440 --> 00:58:59,200
Speaker 19: you're constantly trying to course excuse me, course correct instead

1440
00:58:59,200 --> 00:59:02,120
Speaker 19: of keeping your eye on that point in the in

1441
00:59:02,240 --> 00:59:05,840
Speaker 19: the in the distance, and you know, sort of keeping

1442
00:59:05,880 --> 00:59:07,000
Speaker 19: yourself on the right course.

1443
00:59:07,880 --> 00:59:11,200
Speaker 8: Double team rate is down from last year a decent amount.

1444
00:59:11,240 --> 00:59:14,360
Speaker 6: How much of Zadarius's versatility has allowed you to kind

1445
00:59:14,360 --> 00:59:19,440
Speaker 6: of deploy miles differently and get him some favorable matchups?

1446
00:59:19,680 --> 00:59:22,320
Speaker 19: Yeah, you know, it's not just it's not just these

1447
00:59:22,400 --> 00:59:25,880
Speaker 19: He's been outstanding for us, but you know, Obo's played

1448
00:59:25,920 --> 00:59:27,760
Speaker 19: a part of that, and our defensive tackles have played

1449
00:59:27,800 --> 00:59:29,680
Speaker 19: a part of it. I think our blitz games played

1450
00:59:29,720 --> 00:59:33,840
Speaker 19: a part of it. You know sometimes, you know, sometimes

1451
00:59:33,920 --> 00:59:36,120
Speaker 19: the sole reason that we blitz is just try to

1452
00:59:36,160 --> 00:59:38,959
Speaker 19: create one on ones. You know, some people are trying

1453
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:41,920
Speaker 19: to blitz to try to overload protections and get free guys,

1454
00:59:42,000 --> 00:59:43,560
Speaker 19: and you know, I mean that's all part of it too.

1455
00:59:44,400 --> 00:59:47,600
Speaker 19: But you know, things that can get you know, premier

1456
00:59:47,640 --> 00:59:51,040
Speaker 19: pass rushers in this league one on one. That's a

1457
00:59:51,080 --> 00:59:53,760
Speaker 19: good blitz in my mind, you know. So I think

1458
00:59:53,800 --> 00:59:57,200
Speaker 19: it's it's all together. I think, you know, us moving

1459
00:59:57,280 --> 01:00:00,200
Speaker 19: Miles around a little bit, the other players around him,

1460
01:00:01,680 --> 01:00:04,280
Speaker 19: you know, I think the corners have a lot to

1461
01:00:04,360 --> 01:00:06,760
Speaker 19: do with it. Also, trying to get guys out and

1462
01:00:07,400 --> 01:00:10,400
Speaker 19: give the quarterback more options because you know they're they're

1463
01:00:10,400 --> 01:00:11,400
Speaker 19: playing tight coverage.

1464
01:00:12,480 --> 01:00:15,240
Speaker 15: You know, it's I think it's a combination of a

1465
01:00:15,320 --> 01:00:15,880
Speaker 15: lot of things.

1466
01:00:16,360 --> 01:00:17,080
Speaker 8: Well, he's guys.

1467
01:00:16,960 --> 01:00:19,439
Speaker 7: Showing, you know, so much swagger and starting to really

1468
01:00:19,520 --> 01:00:22,680
Speaker 7: sort of build a brotherhood on the defense. How do

1469
01:00:22,720 --> 01:00:25,520
Speaker 7: you feel about, you know, them calling themselves the best

1470
01:00:25,560 --> 01:00:27,120
Speaker 7: defense in the world and you know some.

1471
01:00:27,200 --> 01:00:28,000
Speaker 17: Of the things that are going on.

1472
01:00:28,440 --> 01:00:32,280
Speaker 19: Yeah, I mean we don't we don't shy away from

1473
01:00:32,440 --> 01:00:36,440
Speaker 19: expectations and things like that, you know, and and and

1474
01:00:36,600 --> 01:00:38,520
Speaker 19: we do appreciate some confidence.

1475
01:00:38,600 --> 01:00:40,800
Speaker 15: And you know, in order to have confidence, you got

1476
01:00:40,880 --> 01:00:41,320
Speaker 15: to play good.

1477
01:00:41,840 --> 01:00:44,560
Speaker 19: You know that, you know that would look foolish if

1478
01:00:44,600 --> 01:00:46,800
Speaker 19: we're out there giving up forty two points. You know,

1479
01:00:47,160 --> 01:00:49,280
Speaker 19: if if we're last in the league and third down

1480
01:00:49,320 --> 01:00:52,560
Speaker 19: percentage and things like that, then you know, it just becomes,

1481
01:00:52,920 --> 01:00:57,040
Speaker 19: you know, clownish behavior. But I think you know, a

1482
01:00:57,080 --> 01:00:59,280
Speaker 19: lot's being said with you know, if you're going to

1483
01:00:59,360 --> 01:01:03,400
Speaker 19: have some some personality and some swagger, then you better

1484
01:01:03,440 --> 01:01:04,520
Speaker 19: back it up on the field.

1485
01:01:04,840 --> 01:01:07,160
Speaker 15: And I like our guys ability to do that.

1486
01:01:08,120 --> 01:01:08,480
Speaker 7: Dalvin.

1487
01:01:08,520 --> 01:01:09,880
Speaker 21: I know some of the other guys on the D

1488
01:01:10,040 --> 01:01:12,680
Speaker 21: line talk about with his size sometimes they can't believe

1489
01:01:13,000 --> 01:01:15,600
Speaker 21: how well he can move and you know, pass, rush

1490
01:01:15,640 --> 01:01:17,880
Speaker 21: and do all those things. Just when has he added

1491
01:01:17,920 --> 01:01:19,520
Speaker 21: for you guys? And what about his ability to move

1492
01:01:19,560 --> 01:01:21,120
Speaker 21: and use his hands is so special?

1493
01:01:21,240 --> 01:01:22,040
Speaker 15: You talked about Dalvin.

1494
01:01:22,600 --> 01:01:25,920
Speaker 19: Yeah, that Dalvin played extremely well this last game. You know,

1495
01:01:26,040 --> 01:01:28,920
Speaker 19: he didn't fill up the stat sheet, but you know,

1496
01:01:29,840 --> 01:01:32,520
Speaker 19: stat sheet and what the tape says is two different things.

1497
01:01:32,600 --> 01:01:36,040
Speaker 19: He's played physical for us. You know, he's really taken

1498
01:01:36,120 --> 01:01:40,480
Speaker 19: to attack. He's never really attacked this way before. You know,

1499
01:01:40,520 --> 01:01:42,600
Speaker 19: he's pushed in the middle of the pocket. He's had

1500
01:01:42,640 --> 01:01:45,720
Speaker 19: some big hits on quarterbacks and things like that. And

1501
01:01:46,120 --> 01:01:51,440
Speaker 19: he's also such a such a leader for us. You know,

1502
01:01:51,680 --> 01:01:53,600
Speaker 19: you guys that have gotten to know Dalvin, I got

1503
01:01:53,640 --> 01:01:56,360
Speaker 19: to know him this year. You know, you know, I

1504
01:01:56,520 --> 01:01:58,960
Speaker 19: think you know you're you're just so impressed with his

1505
01:01:59,800 --> 01:02:05,040
Speaker 19: his demeanor, his experience, his intelligence, all those things meaning

1506
01:02:05,040 --> 01:02:05,560
Speaker 19: an awful lot.

1507
01:02:05,600 --> 01:02:09,680
Speaker 15: We're really lucky to have guys like Dalvin do so well.

1508
01:02:10,040 --> 01:02:12,480
Speaker 15: And do you think the steem a lot of his

1509
01:02:12,640 --> 01:02:17,520
Speaker 15: building Well, you know, dull back and first kickoff of

1510
01:02:17,600 --> 01:02:17,919
Speaker 15: the game.

1511
01:02:18,040 --> 01:02:20,800
Speaker 19: I don't know if you guys saw it, but you know,

1512
01:02:21,480 --> 01:02:23,800
Speaker 19: Jeremiah did a really good job on that kickoff. And

1513
01:02:24,040 --> 01:02:26,640
Speaker 19: you know, our defense has a lot of similarities between

1514
01:02:26,760 --> 01:02:29,920
Speaker 19: kickoff coverage. You know, we're sort of attacking him waves

1515
01:02:30,040 --> 01:02:32,520
Speaker 19: and you know, playing off the guys in front of

1516
01:02:32,600 --> 01:02:34,960
Speaker 19: you and and things like that. I think those things,

1517
01:02:35,240 --> 01:02:39,360
Speaker 19: those things fit Jeremiah. You know, he's he's been consistent

1518
01:02:39,520 --> 01:02:42,240
Speaker 19: this year. You know, there's there's little things that we

1519
01:02:42,360 --> 01:02:45,680
Speaker 19: can iron out that can get him even better. But

1520
01:02:45,920 --> 01:02:47,560
Speaker 19: I like what we're seeing with him so far.

1521
01:02:48,320 --> 01:02:49,320
Speaker 8: How is it all playing?

1522
01:02:51,160 --> 01:02:54,520
Speaker 19: You know, he's playing three and two, right, I mean,

1523
01:02:54,600 --> 01:02:57,120
Speaker 19: we're all playing three and two. You know our defensive

1524
01:02:57,120 --> 01:02:59,720
Speaker 19: stats are three and two, you know everything else, and

1525
01:03:01,080 --> 01:03:03,360
Speaker 19: you know he's he's doing his job within. I don't

1526
01:03:03,360 --> 01:03:05,080
Speaker 19: want to downplay it. I just I just don't want

1527
01:03:05,120 --> 01:03:09,160
Speaker 19: to get into the whole like rate everybody's play. You know,

1528
01:03:09,360 --> 01:03:12,040
Speaker 19: it's not about individuals. We talked about that last week.

1529
01:03:12,600 --> 01:03:16,280
Speaker 19: It's about the group. It's about all eleven, you know,

1530
01:03:16,480 --> 01:03:19,120
Speaker 19: it's it's all those things. And we expect guys to

1531
01:03:19,200 --> 01:03:22,760
Speaker 19: do their job within the you know, with within that

1532
01:03:23,040 --> 01:03:26,280
Speaker 19: and to bring some energy to the to the thing

1533
01:03:26,520 --> 01:03:28,800
Speaker 19: and you know, play the run and the past.

1534
01:03:29,280 --> 01:03:30,720
Speaker 15: Obo has done all of those things.

1535
01:03:31,080 --> 01:03:33,800
Speaker 19: You know, when we talk about effort, doesn't take long

1536
01:03:33,880 --> 01:03:35,920
Speaker 19: for you to put tape on and see great effort

1537
01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:40,640
Speaker 19: come from from Obo. You talk about physicality, he's made

1538
01:03:40,680 --> 01:03:42,440
Speaker 19: some big, you know plays and you know he's not

1539
01:03:42,520 --> 01:03:44,480
Speaker 19: the biggest guy, but he's made some big plays and

1540
01:03:44,560 --> 01:03:47,959
Speaker 19: some some physical plays for us. And he's also brought

1541
01:03:48,080 --> 01:03:51,080
Speaker 19: some passion and you know, some personality to it. So

1542
01:03:51,480 --> 01:03:53,440
Speaker 19: those are the things we're trying to check mark. And

1543
01:03:53,840 --> 01:03:57,040
Speaker 19: you know, we'll leave PFF to grading the players and

1544
01:03:57,480 --> 01:03:59,560
Speaker 19: where they rank in the league and all those things.

1545
01:04:00,080 --> 01:04:02,160
Speaker 8: You talk a lot about the selflessness of this group,

1546
01:04:02,200 --> 01:04:02,920
Speaker 8: and Bubba was just.

1547
01:04:02,960 --> 01:04:05,320
Speaker 11: Saying that it is kind of a unique.

1548
01:04:05,040 --> 01:04:07,000
Speaker 8: Bond that guys are really buying in here.

1549
01:04:07,440 --> 01:04:08,640
Speaker 15: How unique is this You've.

1550
01:04:08,480 --> 01:04:09,400
Speaker 8: Been on a lot of teams.

1551
01:04:10,800 --> 01:04:12,840
Speaker 15: Well, yeah, I don't know.

1552
01:04:13,000 --> 01:04:17,320
Speaker 19: That it's it's you know, tremendously unique. But I think that,

1553
01:04:17,720 --> 01:04:19,560
Speaker 19: you know, if you expect to be a good team,

1554
01:04:20,280 --> 01:04:23,800
Speaker 19: that's one of the things that you know that's important.

1555
01:04:24,480 --> 01:04:29,600
Speaker 15: You know. I think that you know the person I

1556
01:04:29,680 --> 01:04:32,920
Speaker 15: mean that the vibe is not a good word.

1557
01:04:33,320 --> 01:04:38,360
Speaker 19: The dynamic between your team is something that you can't

1558
01:04:38,440 --> 01:04:42,120
Speaker 19: be forced. I think that it has to come from

1559
01:04:42,160 --> 01:04:44,120
Speaker 19: the players. You can lead them a little bit, but

1560
01:04:44,760 --> 01:04:46,840
Speaker 19: you know, they have to take it over. And I

1561
01:04:46,880 --> 01:04:49,480
Speaker 19: think I told you this long time ago. You know,

1562
01:04:49,520 --> 01:04:52,080
Speaker 19: if I'm doing my job right, you know, it looks

1563
01:04:52,120 --> 01:04:54,960
Speaker 19: like I'm not doing anything, you know, because the players

1564
01:04:55,080 --> 01:04:57,840
Speaker 19: have have taken the message and run with it, and

1565
01:04:58,000 --> 01:05:02,840
Speaker 19: they've policed themselves and they provided leadership and accountability and

1566
01:05:02,920 --> 01:05:06,680
Speaker 19: all those things that we talk about, you know, and

1567
01:05:06,920 --> 01:05:10,040
Speaker 19: and we put a lot on having that accountability and

1568
01:05:10,280 --> 01:05:14,000
Speaker 19: having that brotherhood and things like that. I don't know

1569
01:05:14,040 --> 01:05:16,800
Speaker 19: if I've ever known a good team that didn't have that.

1570
01:05:17,120 --> 01:05:19,280
Speaker 19: I've done a lot of bad teams that didn't have it.

1571
01:05:19,520 --> 01:05:22,080
Speaker 19: But you know, I don't know, you know which which

1572
01:05:22,120 --> 01:05:24,640
Speaker 19: one came first, If it was chicken or the egg.

1573
01:05:25,280 --> 01:05:29,120
Speaker 19: If you're good because of that, or you get that

1574
01:05:29,520 --> 01:05:32,160
Speaker 19: because of it, you know, I mean, because you're good,

1575
01:05:32,360 --> 01:05:32,520
Speaker 19: you know.

1576
01:05:34,040 --> 01:05:35,960
Speaker 15: You know, but I've said this before.

1577
01:05:37,440 --> 01:05:41,120
Speaker 19: You know, your team culture is defined by what you're

1578
01:05:41,360 --> 01:05:43,960
Speaker 19: like when you're at your worst, you know, when things

1579
01:05:44,040 --> 01:05:46,720
Speaker 19: are the hardest, you know, and I think that it's

1580
01:05:46,760 --> 01:05:49,120
Speaker 19: easy when things are going well for things to go good.

1581
01:05:49,160 --> 01:05:51,240
Speaker 19: But we've had a couple of setbacks, and I like

1582
01:05:51,320 --> 01:05:54,200
Speaker 19: the way we responded, you know. We we you know,

1583
01:05:54,400 --> 01:05:58,560
Speaker 19: had a setback against Baltimore, lost the game, you know,

1584
01:05:58,680 --> 01:06:03,160
Speaker 19: and then had big challenge coming in. Players responded the

1585
01:06:03,200 --> 01:06:06,680
Speaker 19: way we wanted them to, the way they expected to,

1586
01:06:06,840 --> 01:06:07,920
Speaker 19: and we came out with a win.

1587
01:06:11,040 --> 01:06:11,200
Speaker 10: Work.

1588
01:06:11,880 --> 01:06:14,479
Speaker 19: You were up the side of like for the last

1589
01:06:14,560 --> 01:06:16,400
Speaker 19: couple of years, are you really having fun?

1590
01:06:16,480 --> 01:06:20,680
Speaker 15: To join me back back into it? You look like, yeah,

1591
01:06:20,760 --> 01:06:23,560
Speaker 15: I mean it's hard not to. You know, this is

1592
01:06:24,400 --> 01:06:24,840
Speaker 15: you know, I.

1593
01:06:26,560 --> 01:06:30,240
Speaker 19: Chose to do this in my in my career because

1594
01:06:30,440 --> 01:06:32,960
Speaker 19: I tried to take the approach of you know, if

1595
01:06:33,000 --> 01:06:34,680
Speaker 19: you love what you do, you never work a day.

1596
01:06:36,280 --> 01:06:36,400
Speaker 3: You know.

1597
01:06:36,440 --> 01:06:39,040
Speaker 19: I like being around the game. I like being around players.

1598
01:06:39,080 --> 01:06:42,800
Speaker 19: I like the challenge every week. You know, I think

1599
01:06:42,840 --> 01:06:45,720
Speaker 19: I had something to offer to players there. So it's

1600
01:06:45,800 --> 01:06:48,240
Speaker 19: it's hard not to enjoy it if if you're you know,

1601
01:06:48,880 --> 01:06:52,200
Speaker 19: I think sometimes people can get a little cliche in

1602
01:06:52,280 --> 01:06:54,480
Speaker 19: this business, as you know, hey, this is a job.

1603
01:06:54,600 --> 01:06:56,560
Speaker 19: You got to punch the clock, you know, all those

1604
01:06:56,600 --> 01:06:58,920
Speaker 19: things you've heard, all a lot of those tired cliches.

1605
01:06:59,760 --> 01:07:01,480
Speaker 19: And I've always in the back of my mind thought,

1606
01:07:01,560 --> 01:07:03,000
Speaker 19: you know, if that's all it is to you, you're

1607
01:07:03,040 --> 01:07:05,800
Speaker 19: never going to be successful. Whether you're a member of

1608
01:07:05,880 --> 01:07:10,880
Speaker 19: the media, whether you're working down at the steelyard, you know, whatever,

1609
01:07:11,000 --> 01:07:13,120
Speaker 19: you're working at the airport, If it's only a job

1610
01:07:13,240 --> 01:07:15,640
Speaker 19: to you, you're never going to be successful. So I

1611
01:07:15,760 --> 01:07:17,720
Speaker 19: tried to take that in my personal life, and I

1612
01:07:17,920 --> 01:07:19,960
Speaker 19: hope that's a little bit contagious for the players.
