1 00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:11,480 Speaker 1: Oh, fantastic, fantastic. I didn't want to get recording in progress. 2 00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:14,200 Speaker 1: All right, guys, we got Garard here. We'll start with 3 00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:17,400 Speaker 1: Mike Greece, then go to Nick O'Malley and then Chris Ryan. 4 00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:20,439 Speaker 1: So go ahead. Mike still got the fart machines you're on. 5 00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:24,560 Speaker 1: I still have it. You haven't broken out yet though, 6 00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:27,960 Speaker 1: Yeah yet. I thought it might have been retired. It's 7 00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:30,080 Speaker 1: not retired. Then I gotta keep it. I gotta keep 8 00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:34,400 Speaker 1: it light around here like it? Um, Gerard Matthew Judean 9 00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:38,360 Speaker 1: in his second year with you guys, Right when you 10 00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:40,760 Speaker 1: look at him this year, Um, what what are you 11 00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:43,560 Speaker 1: seeing in terms of areas that maybe you're are even 12 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,600 Speaker 1: elevated from where he was last year? And he was 13 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:50,240 Speaker 1: pretty good last year. That's saying something, you know, Yeah, 14 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:52,960 Speaker 1: you know, honestly, I think it starts with everything off 15 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:57,240 Speaker 1: the field. His uh, the way that he just approaches 16 00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,840 Speaker 1: each and every day this year is different than a 17 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:01,840 Speaker 1: last year. And not saying that last year was bad, 18 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:05,800 Speaker 1: but when you talk about just a great professional and 19 00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:09,319 Speaker 1: also a guy who he's always helping the younger guys. 20 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 1: He's always trying to bring guys along with them, whether 21 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:15,039 Speaker 1: it's extra conditioning, whether it's extra film, just his approach 22 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,600 Speaker 1: to each and every day. His approach to the process 23 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 1: to me has been different, and it's been it's been 24 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 1: very impactful for not only him, but also for the 25 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 1: team right on him. Did you guys have much discussion 26 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:33,039 Speaker 1: on managing his workload? You know, the idea of the 27 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,120 Speaker 1: idea of getting them through a season, you know, where 28 00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 1: he can be as strong at the start as he 29 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:38,319 Speaker 1: is at the end of How much did that ever 30 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:40,960 Speaker 1: come up among you guys? You know, it really doesn't 31 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 1: come up. We have a great strength and condition staff, 32 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 1: not only because my brothers on that strength of condition staff, 33 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 1: but we have a great strength of condition staff and 34 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 1: great training staff and Johan and those guys, so they 35 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 1: kind of we kind of lean on their expertise that 36 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 1: in those regards. So there wasn't a huge conversation amongst 37 00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 1: the coaches or not. So we'll go to a Nick 38 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 1: o'melley if I like Chris Ryan and then Bob soci 39 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 1: go ahead and Nick stealing a question from Mike earlier, Um, 40 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,800 Speaker 1: what's the bye week look like for the for the 41 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:13,919 Speaker 1: coaching staff? You know, the players are off, but what 42 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 1: are the coaches up to while the players are away, 43 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 1: does it give you a chance to like hunker down 44 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 1: or what were you guys working on this week? Yeah, 45 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 1: it really gives us an opportunity to really look at 46 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,919 Speaker 1: everything up until this point, right, things that have hurt 47 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 1: us in the past, and also looking out the front 48 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 1: wind shield them teams we're gonna play in the future, 49 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,800 Speaker 1: and so when you think about our schedule over the 50 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 1: next few weeks, I mean, it's pretty tough, right, it's 51 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 1: pretty tough. And obviously, you know, we had the benefit 52 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 1: of playing the Jets before, so um, not too much 53 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,080 Speaker 1: more as far as new information in that regards, but 54 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 1: it's definitely a chance for us to really reflect and 55 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 1: also look forward. So we're not out, you know, just 56 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,400 Speaker 1: just kicking in and chilling like everyone else. We're actually 57 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 1: working more, you know, more in an office. So do 58 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 1: you get a chance to do you get to take 59 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 1: some time off of the weekend watching games on Sunday, 60 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 1: I'm definitely gonna watch some games, but we'll be in 61 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:10,360 Speaker 1: here watching games. Thanks d thank you. Hey, We'll go, 62 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,520 Speaker 1: Chris Ryan, followed by Bob Socie. Go ahead, Chris, Hey, Droon, 63 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 1: how are you I'm doing well, Chris, how are you awesome? UM? 64 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 1: When you do reflect upon what you've seen through the 65 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 1: first nine weeks, what do you see from this this 66 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,520 Speaker 1: defense and do you have a sense for who you 67 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:29,240 Speaker 1: guys are? Yeah, you know, I would say, first of all, 68 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:30,840 Speaker 1: you know, the main thing that we just have to 69 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 1: get better at it is just being consistent. You know. 70 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 1: It's it's almost like night and day sometimes when we're 71 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 1: out there on the field and we're you know, we're 72 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,119 Speaker 1: harping on consistency, and that's what we need to see 73 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 1: going forward, whether it's you know, in the past game 74 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 1: and the run game or you know, whatever it is. 75 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 1: And then also just trying to help the special teams 76 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 1: as far as field position and being able to hold 77 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 1: the you know, hold the field position when we get it. 78 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 1: So those are definitely things that we're going to focus 79 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 1: on going forward. Do you feel like you've been more 80 00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 1: consistent in the past game than the run game? And 81 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 1: obvious we've talked a lot about you know, quarterbacks and 82 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 1: mobile quarterbacks, the challenges they've provided for your group, for 83 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 1: your group, what do you what do you sense in 84 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:12,120 Speaker 1: terms of where you've been more consistent perhaps than another UM, 85 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 1: You're saying, like, where do we need to be more consistent? 86 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 1: Do you feel like the passing game has been more 87 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:20,359 Speaker 1: consistent than that? Right? You know, I would, uh, you know, 88 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 1: those quarterbacks that we've faced over the first let's say, 89 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:24,920 Speaker 1: you know, half of the season, there are a lot 90 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 1: of guys in there who were pretty athletic, and anytime 91 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 1: you have an athletic quarterback or they get in wildcat, 92 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,479 Speaker 1: they're always plus one as far as you know, they 93 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 1: have an extra guy, and so, um, you know, it's 94 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,480 Speaker 1: always difficult playing against guys like that. And look, looking 95 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,360 Speaker 1: out the front wind shield, We're gonna play athletic quarterbacks 96 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 1: going forward, right, We're gonna play athletic quarterback with the Jets. 97 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,359 Speaker 1: We're gonna play an athletic quarterback with the Cardinals. Like 98 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 1: as you look forward, Um, those are definitely areas that 99 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 1: we need to improve that. Thanks. Thanks, Ris. Hey, it 100 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 1: looks like you'll have time for two more. We'll go 101 00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 1: to Bob sasing that Mike Reas has one more. Go ahead, Bob. 102 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 1: Thanks Aaron dw I get a two part for you 103 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 1: this week. A lot of conversation about something that Shaquille 104 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 1: Leonard of the Colts said about tells picking up on 105 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:14,039 Speaker 1: some things. And Bill commented as well early in the 106 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 1: week that it seemed like CJ. Mosley might have been 107 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,559 Speaker 1: in the huddle for a couple of plays out there, 108 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 1: and your guys have said, Hey, that's that's football. Smart guys, 109 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:25,719 Speaker 1: study film, you pick up on your keys. I'm curious, 110 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,119 Speaker 1: as a middle linebacker inside lineback, what are the things 111 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,720 Speaker 1: that you you used to look for and things you 112 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 1: instruct in your guys to look for in terms of tells, formations, 113 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,599 Speaker 1: you know, personnel groupings, etc. Yeah, it's just you know, 114 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 1: to be a good defensive player. I've been around a 115 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,920 Speaker 1: lot of great defensive players, it's all about awareness and 116 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 1: it's really about eliminating possibilities rather than like trying to 117 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,920 Speaker 1: think of all the things they can do to you, right, 118 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:54,719 Speaker 1: And so then once you get into that world, you 119 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,599 Speaker 1: can anticipate. Now, you know, the interesting thing that you 120 00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 1: said was, you know, what do you look for? But 121 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 1: you also have to listen, right, You have to listen 122 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:05,599 Speaker 1: for things. And so if someone all of a sudden 123 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 1: says cheetah, right, it's probably not a pass, or someone 124 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,679 Speaker 1: says a leopard, it's probably a run to the left. 125 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 1: The offensive left, or if someone says airplane, it's probably 126 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 1: a pass, or bowing right it's probably a pass. And 127 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 1: so now look, is it a hundred percent absolutely not, 128 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 1: because offenses they know that we pick up on things 129 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 1: like that, and so you know they can say opt them. Now, 130 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 1: optim could mean open side run right. So once you 131 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:39,279 Speaker 1: start thinking about the game and that, you know, obviously 132 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,280 Speaker 1: you have to see the formation down and distance all 133 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,799 Speaker 1: those things. But once you start to hear those things, 134 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:45,919 Speaker 1: you can kind of anticipate. But now offense is what 135 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:49,359 Speaker 1: they'll do is they'll put like a color before the word. 136 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,720 Speaker 1: So now all of a sudden, it's brown, opt them, 137 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 1: and Brown is telling everyone cancel anything out that I say. 138 00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,040 Speaker 1: After this you see what I'm saying. It's like a 139 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 1: dummy dog. And then that those smart defensive players. I 140 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 1: shouldn't have did air quotes there, but those smart defensive players, 141 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,920 Speaker 1: now they're anticipating something's going to happen and the balls 142 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 1: going the other way. So you have to be careful 143 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 1: playing that game. Who is the best at trying to 144 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,119 Speaker 1: foil you? Who did you enjoy matching wits with? I'd 145 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 1: imagine Peyton Manning with all the gestures and the Omaha 146 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 1: and all that. Honestly, it was Brady each and every 147 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 1: day in practice. Each and every day in practice, it 148 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 1: was like a chess match. And you know, especially when 149 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 1: you're going to getst a guy, you know, day after 150 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 1: day after day, you got to have a lot of 151 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 1: you know, words to cancel things out. If not, then 152 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 1: the guys will be confused. So just playing that game 153 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 1: was always it was always fun. It brings brings back 154 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 1: good memories. Yeah, I appreciate your thanks. Thanks, and we'll 155 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 1: take our last question question from Mike Greece. Go ahead, 156 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 1: and Mike, same thing. Aaron, you think we got time 157 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 1: or we get Squeezer and real queas? All right? Um, true, 158 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:57,280 Speaker 1: we were talking about calling the players. I guess when 159 00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 1: he comes in and some of those packages. What have 160 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 1: you seen from him in that in terms of what 161 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 1: is he actually calling gerade? You know what I mean, 162 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 1: because it's like, seems pretty straightforward to me, but maybe 163 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 1: I'm missing something, you know, No, you know, honestly, and 164 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 1: we've been working on this for a while now. You know. 165 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 1: The metaphor that I use is, you know, here's the canvas. 166 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 1: You can paint whatever picture you want. Just stay on 167 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 1: the canvas, and so when he's out there on the field, 168 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 1: it's more about him communicating to the rest of the rushers, 169 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 1: like what are we going to do? And that's after 170 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 1: seeing like the formation, hearing what the line is saying, 171 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 1: and like I can't help him, you know, DeMarcus Covertent 172 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 1: can't help him, Steve can't help him. And so those 173 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 1: guys as soon as they cross the white lines, like 174 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,720 Speaker 1: the game is in their hands. And so that has 175 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 1: been his responsibility. He's done a good job growing in 176 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 1: that room. Okay, perfect, Thanks Trump, Thanks
