1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:02,320
Speaker 1: Command this family. We are back on the road again,

2
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:04,200
Speaker 1: this time in the Big Apple. We sit with a

3
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:06,680
Speaker 1: head coach Dan Quinn to talk about today's matchup against

4
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:09,520
Speaker 1: the New York Giants. Then we're looking at must watch

5
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:12,240
Speaker 1: matchups to get the win in today's game. All that

6
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 1: war start right now on the game plan, welcoming in

7
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 1: head coach Dan Quinn into the game plan. Coach. Not

8
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 1: be any better ways to win than a Hail Mary.

9
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 1: What a moment, But the season keeps going on. We're

10
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 1: only halfway through. How do you keep your guys locked

11
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:37,240
Speaker 1: in and move forward to the next game.

12
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a great question. And we have a precise

13
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,919
Speaker 2: nature of getting ready and it's really important that we

14
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 2: go through that whole process and we never want to

15
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 2: assume that we're ready. And so on a Wednesday, the

16
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 2: competition that goes with that and the part of the

17
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 2: game plan on Thursday, we talk so much about the

18
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 2: ball and takeaways and ball security. Friday on the game

19
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 2: situations and if we do that right the whole week,

20
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 2: all that whole process will take care of all the learning.

21
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 2: And so we want to make sure like every week

22
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 2: we go through that process well before it's go time

23
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 2: that we put in the work to do that. If

24
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 2: they just stay in for that day, you don't have

25
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 2: to think about the next game, just being it for

26
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,199
Speaker 2: that day and that'll take care of everything.

27
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 3: And you know how Marrias are great, but you know,

28
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 3: it kind of shows how close the game actually was.

29
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 3: How how would the corrections this week coming out of

30
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 3: the game, And is does it make it easier or

31
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 3: harder that it's in a win.

32
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 2: I would say it's sometimes it can be harder because

33
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,680
Speaker 2: you could gloss over things if you didn't like it.

34
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 2: The good news with our group is that we want

35
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 2: to make sure detach from the results of it until

36
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 2: the truth Monday, the process driven right and that way

37
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 2: you can say this was good because there were a

38
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 2: lot of good things. This needs work and it allows

39
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 2: you to like put the light on things.

40
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: That need work for this week.

41
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 2: And if you keep doing that over and over, then

42
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 2: you'll keep improving. And so that's what we're looking to do.

43
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: And turning the page. We're taking on a divisional point

44
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 1: for the second time. Yes, because the mentality change at

45
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: all when it's these NFC East matchups.

46
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 2: It definitely changes the second time that you play somebody

47
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 2: because you do know them a little better. You do

48
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,359
Speaker 2: know what happened in the first game or a matchup

49
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 2: on a player. And so for us to have our

50
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 2: second division game even before we did the other division games,

51
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,799
Speaker 2: it's kind of unique. But both teams would have had

52
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 2: some things on their call sheets that they didn't use,

53
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 2: and so you can start from there, and you want

54
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,639
Speaker 2: to know what's been the same since the first time

55
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 2: you played them and what's different. Sometimes it might only

56
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 2: be two or three weeks that separate it. In this instance,

57
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 2: it's seven weeks, so there's more tape, more film, what

58
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 2: could happen on injuries, we're different matchups for you. We've

59
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 2: gotten a lot better in seven weeks as well, and

60
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 2: so how do we get to apply some of what

61
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 2: we've gotten better at two?

62
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 3: Absolutely, and you know the games are different, like the

63
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:56,519
Speaker 3: speed of a divisional game is a little bit different.

64
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 3: Like what's the role of your veteran leadership you're Bobby

65
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 3: Wagner's your zach Ertz and kind of getting you know,

66
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 3: kind of a younger team ready to rock and roll.

67
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, that is absolutely one of the keys to make

68
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,799
Speaker 2: sure this is the expectation for practice today. This is

69
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 2: the expectation for Friday, this is what it should look like.

70
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 2: And so when you keep throwing good practices and you

71
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 2: get yourself prepared by the time you get to the game,

72
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 2: you almost I can't wait for this thing because you

73
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 2: know you've put the work in. So guys who've been

74
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 2: in the fights, that's a big deal. And in this instance,

75
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 2: we haven't played them in seven weeks, but you do

76
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 2: know some of the people how to go, how they

77
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 2: play against you the first time, and that's where you start.

78
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 1: You talked about the way that the team has grown

79
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: and changed since week two. How has your team grown?

80
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 1: Can you expand on that a little bit?

81
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 2: I think each phase has their own space to go,

82
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 2: and I thought defensively has probably been one that's grown.

83
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 2: The first probably three weeks of the season were hard

84
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 2: on the defense and growing pains and things to figure out.

85
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 2: But what they have done is help, you know, now

86
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 2: create some more of identity. They're tackling better, they're creating takeaways,

87
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 2: you know, putting more pressure on the QB and those

88
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 2: are things that make good defense. I would say it

89
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 2: always on a defense starts with communication first, to make

90
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 2: sure that as you're going like you're able to talk

91
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 2: ahead of calls, be ready for things. And that's what

92
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 2: I see on the sideline and what I hear on

93
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 2: the sideline. So I know that's improving because of what

94
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 2: I see and what I hear. On the special team side,

95
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 2: I love the way we cover and I think that's

96
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 2: one of the real strengths of our group on punt

97
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 2: and kickoff and the energy that brings to the team.

98
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 2: And then on the offensive side, having the balance in

99
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 2: the run game with the playpass. We have to make

100
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 2: sure that's always part of who we are and that

101
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,359
Speaker 2: kind of physicality, and so every time we go we

102
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 2: get to establish that. And so those are some things

103
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 2: I think we've improved upon, But there's always areas that

104
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 2: you're wanting to work on, and for us, you know,

105
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,159
Speaker 2: the red zone on offense, and you know, specific parts

106
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 2: of third down on defense, those are things that like

107
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 2: we'll dig into really hard.

108
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 3: It seems like the defensive improvements happen kind of quickly,

109
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 3: Like I don't want to say overnight, because it's been

110
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 3: a couple weeks, Like you were saying, but what do

111
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 3: you attribute the kind of the speed of the transition to, Like,

112
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 3: is it I don't know, because I've been a part

113
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 3: of teams where it's never really turned the corner. Like,

114
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 3: what in your estimation, what's the thing that kind of

115
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 3: gets it done here?

116
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:19,799
Speaker 2: I would say, first off, like I felt the confidence

117
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 2: grow because there's some more trust, you know, knowing that

118
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 2: you'll be in the right spot with the right leverage

119
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 2: to allow me to go really run and hit and

120
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 2: so being in the games and going through that together logan,

121
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 2: I think that is as big as anything to show

122
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 2: I'll be in the right spot at the right time.

123
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 2: The move Desainer still, although it was difficult to move

124
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 2: them from inside to outside, has also leveled some things

125
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 2: out for us to go. So we're still digging in

126
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 2: on a lot of spots. But I thought the communication,

127
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 2: the play style, that's.

128
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: What I've been pleased with. And culch I think the

129
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 1: circle backs at offense real quick. Because Jade Daniels, this

130
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 1: is his first time playing a team twice, Yes, how

131
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: does that give him a little more of advantage and

132
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 1: help with his development ass he goes into somebody's game.

133
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,039
Speaker 2: Yeah, you want to know, like I said, from the

134
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 2: team that you played, what's the same and what could

135
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 2: be different? And every team will have some things that'll

136
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 2: be different. There's some calls and maybe some blitzes that

137
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,479
Speaker 2: they had that they didn't use. And so when you

138
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 2: have the second time you play somebody, there's always a

139
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 2: few things in your back pocket that it doesn't play out.

140
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 2: No two games play the same. So in the first game,

141
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 2: I thought the Giants did a really good job in

142
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 2: the red zone, and we relied on kicking field goals,

143
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 2: which is a hard way to go about it, and

144
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:29,279
Speaker 2: it went all the way down to the very end

145
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 2: to kick a field goal to win it. So that

146
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 2: part of our game, you know, against them, is one

147
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 2: of I think the real key matchups. You know, as

148
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 2: we're looking into it.

149
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 3: You're talking a little bit at the defense there. They're

150
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 3: the Giants defense with Shane Bowen, and you mentioned the

151
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:43,719
Speaker 3: last time with this show that he's a big kind

152
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 3: of matchup defense guy. Right, He's going to kind of

153
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,720
Speaker 3: change and try to fit you. And it's interesting you

154
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 3: talk about the things in the back pocket, how do

155
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 3: you try and anticipate the things he's still got in

156
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 3: the holster and not kind of deviate too far from

157
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 3: who you are offensively.

158
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think what one of the advantages for them,

159
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:04,280
Speaker 2: they're able to create pressure without having to blitz. And

160
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 2: so the pass rush the ability to create sacks and

161
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 2: negative plays for them without blitzing. That's a really big

162
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,679
Speaker 2: deal because sometimes when you blitz, you are more vulnerable.

163
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 2: There's less people to cover and so there's holes there.

164
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 2: So if you can generate pass rush, you know, with

165
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 2: four rushers and devote more to coverage, you're gonna have

166
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 2: more ops to do that. So knowing that we've got

167
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 2: to have great balance, you know, in our game to

168
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 2: make sure the run the play pass is part of

169
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 2: that too.

170
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: And with the office of line, you've got a little

171
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 1: banged up, but you've had guys come up and step up.

172
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 1: How are you keeping all of these guys prepared for

173
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,119
Speaker 1: any moment it's on. You've got to call their number?

174
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you. It's a real there's a little

175
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 2: bit of a puzzle that goes on with that, but

176
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 2: it's a really important one because all the work that

177
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 2: gets done of the things that people don't see, you know,

178
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 2: of guys playing two positions and getting reps at both

179
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 2: of those. So when your time does come that you're

180
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 2: really ready to deliver. And so that speaks to guys

181
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 2: like Marcus Mary or Jeremy McNichol, you know, Trent Scott, guys.

182
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 2: When their time is called and I have to step

183
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 2: into this space, I'm ready to deliver for the guys,

184
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 2: and so those Dante Fowler, you know, amongst others, the

185
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 2: work that they have to put in during the week

186
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 2: to get ready, that's where all of it goes down.

187
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, and a guy that I think is really interesting

188
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 3: is like Brandon Coleman obviously, and I think you guys

189
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 3: have handled his development in a very unique way kind

190
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 3: of with the split reps, you know, and it seems

191
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 3: like it's really accelerated that process, his developmental process. Where

192
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 3: did that inspiration come from for that?

193
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:35,959
Speaker 2: I think going into the season, you know, he had

194
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 2: some setbacks in training camp with an injury, and that

195
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 2: was probably the catalyst of this, let's start it that

196
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:45,199
Speaker 2: way and keep going and keep growing, and so then

197
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,719
Speaker 2: he could play some more and some more, and then

198
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 2: you know, pretty soon he's ready to take on a

199
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,839
Speaker 2: much bigger role. But I've been pleased with him and

200
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 2: his other rookie classmates that they're playing as an older

201
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 2: group because of their maturity. The way the other guys

202
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 2: have poured into them their development because now that we're

203
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 2: going into week nine for them, like that's a big deal.

204
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:13,319
Speaker 2: They've played three preseason games and this game that's a

205
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 2: good body of work for a lot of them, and

206
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 2: that's a really big deal.

207
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 1: And coach flimming it backs to the defense. Each and

208
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 1: every week we've seen the secondary improve. What do you

209
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 1: attribute those improvements too?

210
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,319
Speaker 2: I think Number one a lot with Joe and Jason

211
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 2: and Tommy and the guys just they've got really high

212
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,679
Speaker 2: standards for how they want to operate and most of

213
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,199
Speaker 2: the time in the secondary, it's going to take excellent

214
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 2: communication the way they can communicate things happen so quickly

215
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 2: with motions and shifts to be able to nail it.

216
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 2: And so I would say early too many things, Okay,

217
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 2: let's pair this down to make sure we can do

218
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 2: what we do at a high level. And that's what

219
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 2: we're seeing and.

220
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 3: To see that level of improvement. I would also assume

221
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 3: that you talk about communication on the field, but that's

222
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,440
Speaker 3: your coaches are great teachers and communicators too, and it's

223
00:09:58,480 --> 00:09:59,719
Speaker 3: got to be a credit to that group as well

224
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,319
Speaker 3: that they're kind of really stuck in and getting that improvement.

225
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think as a coach or you could almost

226
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,719
Speaker 2: slash and put teacher every time you see coach to

227
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 2: say are you teaching? Are you finding the ways? And

228
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 2: they have to learn the learner, and not everyone learns

229
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 2: at the same pace or the same way, and some

230
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 2: need more walkthrough, some need more film, some need they

231
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 2: come here early and meet with me individually, and so

232
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 2: whatever that is, that's their job to motivate and to

233
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 2: inspire them to see how good they can become. And

234
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 2: I love the standards that not only they have, but

235
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 2: the players have for one another. And I keep seeing

236
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 2: their bond grow stronger and stronger, that they really want

237
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 2: to fight for one another. And now you see that

238
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 2: communication on the sideline, wait for this, look for that,

239
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 2: and sharing that information amongst one another.

240
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 1: That's a really big deal. And coach, the defensive line

241
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 1: looks so impressive Sunday, can you just talk about them

242
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 1: and the growth of that unit. Yeah.

243
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 2: I was especially pleased with Johnny Newton, and I thought

244
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 2: inside I knew this would become eventually, that he would,

245
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:03,839
Speaker 2: you know, insert himself and be able to express how

246
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 2: he wants to play sooner than later. And so he

247
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 2: missed some time in training camp, and we started the

248
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 2: season with him on a pitch count, and so when

249
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 2: John Allen was injured, we knew there would be even

250
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 2: more reps that would go his way. And so to

251
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 2: see him make this development, I'm really excited to see

252
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 2: what he does. We have a big, deep crew and

253
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 2: we play a lot of guys to make sure they

254
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 2: can stay attacking and be ready to go finish. And

255
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 2: that's all of them together, you know, creating that.

256
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: Yeah.

257
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 3: And one other thing that I think is interesting is

258
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 3: like as the defensive line improves, the secondary improves, and

259
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 3: it seems like there's this cool symbiotic relationship between the group,

260
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 3: the two groups improvement. Can you talk about that a little.

261
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 1: Bit for sure.

262
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 2: And the orchestrader or whatever that word is for all

263
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 2: of it is really Bobby Wagner. And in this game,

264
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 2: I thought he did a fantastic job of in calls.

265
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 2: At a calls, it was like a masterclass of controlling

266
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 2: the front communicating back to the secondary, and so he

267
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 2: was really on it. But the best we can do

268
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 2: is when the rush and the coverage are in sync,

269
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 2: and not every play quarterback stays in the pocket and

270
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 2: so the quarterback gets outside, and Caleb Williams specifically was

271
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,680
Speaker 2: excellent at avoiding rush and getting outside, and so you

272
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 2: have to stay attached to the person that you're guarding

273
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 2: into that spot. And sometimes those plays can take a

274
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 2: long time, and you got to go and fight, and

275
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:26,560
Speaker 2: the d lin's got to go and finish. And so

276
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 2: to see the all of the connection taking place that

277
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 2: makes me happy.

278
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 1: And coach is crazy to say, we are halfway through

279
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 1: the season already, what is your Mississippi team to finish

280
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 1: this back half of the season strong.

281
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 2: We don't really even look that far down the line, honestly,

282
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 2: like you've heard me say, like, the only fight that

283
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,679
Speaker 2: matters is the one that we're in. And so all

284
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 2: I wanted to think about is that helmet and who

285
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:52,959
Speaker 2: we're playing and how good we can get for this game,

286
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 2: and then we'll worry about the next week, the next one.

287
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 2: But it's about our improvement and the attacking of this game.

288
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 2: And so I don't let him I think too far

289
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 2: down the line. We don't live in that way. We

290
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 2: live in the here and the now and the opponent

291
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 2: and playing a division game on the road, man, it's

292
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 2: so much fun. Why would you want to look ahead

293
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 2: when you got a chance to, you know, go play

294
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 2: a division game. It's gonna be tough and fun and

295
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 2: all the things that we love about football.

296
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 1: Amen, And with that in mind, you and Logan are

297
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 1: getting get to get into the film room. Coach, we

298
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 1: appreciate your time. All right, thanks guys, Commanded family. We

299
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 1: know you are enjoying the game plan. However, if you

300
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 1: want to see Coach and Logan, Paul said breakdown plays

301
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 1: in the film room, you could check that out on

302
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 1: the Commander's YouTube page. All right, Logan, our ticket to

303
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 1: win are these must watch matchups. First one offensive line, first,

304
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 1: their defensive line.

305
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 3: It's gonna be a big one. We're kind of going

306
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:48,959
Speaker 3: through a little bit of a reshuffle here, and their

307
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 3: defensive line is playing really, really well. They leave the

308
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,679
Speaker 3: NFL in sacks with thirty five. Dex Lawrence has ten,

309
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 3: Bryan Burns has five, He's got twenty one pressures. Larry

310
00:13:57,520 --> 00:13:59,559
Speaker 3: coming off the bench, he's got six sacks on the season.

311
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 3: So this is gonna be a tall order, right because
