1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:07,360
Speaker 1: Uh, Tyson is uh right now obviously you know with

2
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 1: the hamstring probably you know, in a short week, chances

3
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 1: are he's out, you know for this game. We'll just

4
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:17,760
Speaker 1: keep monitoring that. But you know, with hamstrings they can

5
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 1: be they can be a little a little finicky. So

6
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:23,080
Speaker 1: what we'll see, we'll see. But right now is training

7
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 1: that way? Uh. Trevor and Brandon are both day to day,

8
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 1: Both are both are are feeling better today. They're sore obviously,

9
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 1: but uh uh they're day to day. Zay and Walker

10
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:38,159
Speaker 1: are doing better again their day to day and you know,

11
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 1: non obviously non committal on on this game just just yet.

12
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 1: I think that's the major ones showed.

13
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 2: Trevor.

14
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 1: You haven't talked for you. Yeah, that's that's out of my.

15
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 3: Pretty well linaments or anything like that or bone Brews

16
00:00:58,160 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 3: or what.

17
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's out of my jurisdiction. Is there a sense

18
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: that you may not play Thursday? He's day to day?

19
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 3: What icing going down? And uh, crapwell already one I R.

20
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 3: Does that kind of put you guys in a pitch

21
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 3: You're gonna have to use buster a lot.

22
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: More a bust play. We have tabon Campbell, you know,

23
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 1: Eric Hallett. Guys are sitting there, you know, on the

24
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: practice squad, have been practicing, so we have we have

25
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:27,040
Speaker 1: some options there.

26
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 2: What sort of challenges does the Thursday night game give you?

27
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: With the short week? You just said it short week?

28
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 2: How difficult is it to adjust to that?

29
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 1: I mean, it's, uh, it is what it is. You know. Uh,

30
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: you just you understand that you're gonna go through it.

31
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 1: You gotta get your team in here today, you got

32
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 1: you gotta practice today, you gotta practice tomorrow, and then

33
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: you're on a plane heading to New Orleans. So you know,

34
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: guys are gonna be sore, Guys are gonna be dealing

35
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 1: with things. You know, we don't have the full complement

36
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: of a week, you know, for guys to feel somewhat normal,

37
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: you know, and you know the challenge the game plan

38
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: is the game plan. I mean it's just based on

39
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: you know, what you see on film and and trying

40
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 1: to get something together you know for the game and

41
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:14,399
Speaker 1: and and go play.

42
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 2: How difficult is it to get your offensive line situation

43
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 2: figured out?

44
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: And feels like injuries keep popping up week after week. Well,

45
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's a challenge, but guys have done

46
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,679
Speaker 1: a nice job. You know, of of the guys that

47
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 1: have been filling in, you know, Blake did good yesterday

48
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: and and Tyler's been filling in nicely, and you know,

49
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: it's it's obviously you know, it's not not perfect, but

50
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 1: but nothing is, you know, and and uh, but they

51
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,919
Speaker 1: think these guys are these guys are battling their tails

52
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: off and and you know they're well coached and well prepared.

53
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: So you know, we just uh, put the next guy

54
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: in and go play first te reps with Trevor possibly,

55
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 1: you know, if Trevor's if Trevor's sore. I mean we've

56
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: done this before. We did last year, you know, where

57
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: CJ took like the Wednesday reps and then Trevor took

58
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 1: the rest of the week, you know, and r and

59
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 1: played in the game. So it's it's possible that happens.

60
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 3: Will you do you anticipate knowing by Wednesday he's gotta

61
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 3: be able to.

62
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 4: Go seven twenty kick off Thursday night East twenty Central time. Yeah,

63
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 4: I'll be in Central time.

64
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 1: It does. Nobody's nobody's been in a CJ.

65
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 5: Situation more than you have, and everything, But do you

66
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 5: do you.

67
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 2: Take comfort in the fact that if you have to

68
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,359
Speaker 2: go that route, you've got a seven year better and

69
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:29,920
Speaker 2: you've got a guy who's been there, done that and

70
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 2: all that kind of So confidence.

71
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 1: Is I mean a lot of confidence is CJ obviously

72
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: if that's the If that's the case, you know, he

73
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 1: prepares himself each week as if he is the starter.

74
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: You know, he does a great job in game with Trevor.

75
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: Obviously the communication there and I've seen it the last

76
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: you know, year and a half being around him and

77
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: and obviously his his career. So a lot of confidence

78
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: in him, and I know he'll he'll be uh, you know, ready,

79
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 1: just like he always is.

80
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 5: Yesterday you you acknowledged that, uh after in regard to

81
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 5: the play call, you kind of you defended it, and

82
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 5: you you also said there was an element of risk too.

83
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 5: Do you still feel the same way today now if

84
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 5: you've had a data Yeah.

85
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: I mean it's listen, we we we it's it's part

86
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: on us, part on players, right. I mean, we we

87
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 1: put our players in situations where we have to understand

88
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 1: the situation. So you know, we had talked about taking

89
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: the short sack in a situation like that if you

90
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: don't feel like you can get outside, you just you

91
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: go down. And you know, so part of that's on

92
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: the player, and then we can coach that better, we

93
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:37,720
Speaker 1: can emphasize that more. But the play call, I'm one

94
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 1: hundred percent you know behind the play call. It's it's

95
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: something that a lot of teams do in situations like

96
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 1: that to get the quarterback on the edge. You know,

97
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: they're they're defensively, they're they're pinching gaps and there their

98
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:51,479
Speaker 1: edge pressures, and it's a good way of getting your

99
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,039
Speaker 1: quarterback on the perimeter to get the first down and

100
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,279
Speaker 1: pretty much ice the game at that point. But and

101
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 1: then again as coaches too, we can str our quarterback better, uh,

102
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,919
Speaker 1: coach him better and understand that if you can't get outside,

103
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: just just go down.

104
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 5: I guess the reason why I asked that is cause

105
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,039
Speaker 5: where you were on the field, if you had a

106
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,279
Speaker 5: you know, basically a I guess you could call it

107
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 5: close to a chip shot field goal. You know that's

108
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,720
Speaker 5: usually a ninety five ninety six percent chance of making it,

109
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 5: and you and you were sure running time off the

110
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 5: clock just by revenue.

111
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I if if again, this is where we

112
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: have to communicate with with Trevor Better if if he

113
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 1: doesn't extend to play, he goes down sooner. So it's

114
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,679
Speaker 1: not a fifty one yard kick, right, It's a forty

115
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 1: one yard kick or a thirty nine yard kick. So

116
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 1: you know that that's where we can as a staff

117
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 1: can and myself can communicate with him better. You know,

118
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 1: in situations like that.

119
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,719
Speaker 3: Yesterday post game, you tell the guys that you feel

120
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 3: like they're just scratching the surface of what the team

121
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 3: could be. Kind of after the last third games, what

122
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,239
Speaker 3: have they've shown you in kind of just their resolve.

123
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 1: I guess one they're they're cop evidence is extremely high.

124
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 1: Right now. I see this team playing better together. We're

125
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 1: playing better complimentary football in all three phases, especially the

126
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks. You know, the defense you know yesterday,

127
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 1: you know with the takeaways, and then the offense scoring

128
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,279
Speaker 1: you know, the seventeen points off of those takeaways, things

129
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: like that. I mean, that's the complimentary element that that

130
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:31,279
Speaker 1: we talk about. And again, the confidence we're beginning to

131
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 1: eliminate some of those mistakes that happened early in the season.

132
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 1: You know, they're not showing up as much. You know,

133
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 1: it's still some work to do. Obviously, each week. But

134
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 1: those are some of the areas that I see that

135
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:49,359
Speaker 1: this team is really beginning to sort of mature and

136
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 1: come together as a group.

137
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,039
Speaker 3: With a short week, do you guys have to simplify

138
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 3: the game plan sort of not put in as many

139
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,359
Speaker 3: new plays with only just a couple of days, or

140
00:06:58,440 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 3: how does that process or to look like?

141
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,600
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's no different than any other week.

142
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:05,839
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, you still want to have the

143
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 1: element of surprise going into the game, things that maybe

144
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 1: haven't shown on tape. But listen, you're also going into

145
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 1: a place where, regardless if it's a Thursday night or

146
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: a Sunday or a Monday night or a Sunday night game,

147
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 1: you're going into a place it's extremely loud, and so

148
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 1: communication is hard, and snap counts are hard, and so

149
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 1: the more you can simplify motions and shifts and you know,

150
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: just line up in stagnant formations, you know can help you.

151
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 1: But at the same time, you still want to, you know,

152
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 1: put your guys in positions to to you know, have

153
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 1: successful matchups or at least you know, have some success

154
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 1: on the field.

155
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 5: When you ask the NFL that you would favor having

156
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 5: a home game coming back from London and then that

157
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 5: you would wait for the buy. You're kind of at

158
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 5: the mercy of the schedule maker about what comes after

159
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 5: that home game. So now that you that you see it,

160
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 5: you know, shortly then another road game, could you just

161
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 5: talk about how your team is navigating which is a

162
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 5: very awkward part of the schedule.

163
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 1: You know, we can't control the schedule, obviously, but I

164
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 1: honestly don't think our team really cares that much about

165
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: when and where and who we play. I mean it, yes,

166
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: you're guaranteed a home game after you know, after the

167
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 1: the London trip and all of that, which is great,

168
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 1: But after that, I mean, yeah, you just you go

169
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 1: to the next one. And I honestly believe that our

170
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 1: players really don't pay much attention to that, you know,

171
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 1: nor do we. I mean it's it's, uh, the schedule

172
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 1: comes out in May and and we see it, and

173
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 1: you know, we're excited for it. Great opportunity.

174
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:58,679
Speaker 3: Sorry try Sorry.

175
00:08:59,000 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 1: You're taking that.

176
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 5: Next is the running back you guys.

177
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: Talked about camp I think so you know, he's uh,

178
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:08,719
Speaker 1: he's really been impressive. You know, there's a lot of

179
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 1: I would say, there's still some things he can he

180
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 1: can improve upon, you know, but but he's really taking

181
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 1: a nice step this year understanding the run schemes, understanding

182
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 1: you know, some of the fits and some of the holes.

183
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 1: Missed a few things yesterday we get that fix. But

184
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 1: has definitely taking that step. You know, he's a he's

185
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 1: a tough, young, physical running back that you know, we

186
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 1: we put him in a lot of different positions because

187
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:41,319
Speaker 1: he can handle it, and he's taking a really nice

188
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 1: he's taking a really nice step in that direction.

189
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,679
Speaker 2: When you hired Mike Caldwell and you guys talked about

190
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 2: your vision for the defense, how close is what's on

191
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 2: the field to the vision that you guys came up with.

192
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 1: For the defense. Yeah, you know, it's funny because, uh,

193
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 1: you know, you probably have a vision of what it

194
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 1: would look like, you know, even your offense. You know,

195
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:09,079
Speaker 1: but you you sort of each year you're almost starting over,

196
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,679
Speaker 1: and you kind of it's dictated by your personnel, right

197
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 1: and and who your guys are, and and so it

198
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:19,319
Speaker 1: kind of morphs and shapes into into different different things.

199
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 1: But it still doesn't mean, you know, you still want

200
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 1: to be able to stop the run. Right obviously in

201
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: our division, right past rush, we know past rushes is uh,

202
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 1: we talk a lot about that in this room, about

203
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 1: the pass rush. So that's that's every week, you know,

204
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 1: and and then you have to determine how much man

205
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 1: coverage do you want to play right, and again that's

206
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 1: predicated on on your personnel. But you know, pressure, do

207
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:47,199
Speaker 1: you want to be a pressure team or do you

208
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 1: want to you know, play zone and keep everything in

209
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 1: front of you? So you know, it's it's something. Yeah,

210
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 1: you talk about it when you go through all that

211
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 1: hiring process and what the vision might look like. But

212
00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:01,199
Speaker 1: again it's it's uh, it changes sort of shapes based

213
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 1: on based on the personality of the team. How do

214
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 1: you look just having his feet like maybe a little

215
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 1: more left, Yeah, I mean he's he's really settled in nicely.

216
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 1: You know, he did some good things yesterday in the game.

217
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 1: It's getting more comfortable. Obviously had the one false start

218
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 1: you know there, but you know, other than that, he's

219
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 1: he's playing physical, you know, good pass sets and just

220
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:27,959
Speaker 1: just gets better each time out. A few times last

221
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 1: year that after however many so games, the rookie label

222
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 1: kind of goes away or you kind of at that

223
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,199
Speaker 1: point the airton and what kind of growth have you've

224
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 1: seen from him? Yeah, I think I think, you know,

225
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 1: he's played enough games now to understand what it's gonna

226
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 1: be like playing in the National Football League. And he's

227
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 1: played against some some really good edge rushers, you know,

228
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 1: and and so you know, he does a great job

229
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 1: each week of getting himself prepared, you know, and Phil

230
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 1: and and uh, you know, Todd and the guys, they

231
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 1: do a great job of preparing him in the entire

232
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: offensive line and and especially who he might be going

233
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 1: up against. This is this is a challenge again this week.

234
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 1: It's a really good defensive line, their physical defensive line.

235
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:07,079
Speaker 1: And and again you're on the road, crowd noise, all that,

236
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 1: so you know, snap count is importing and getting off

237
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 1: on the on the ball. So but you know, I

238
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 1: would say the you know, the the rookie tag probably

239
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 1: has gone away, you know now, and and uh, he's

240
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:23,679
Speaker 1: settling in nicely.

241
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 5: Sure, we do.

242
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 2: You have to start trying to look ahead to New

243
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 2: Orleans last week or earlier than maybe you would on

244
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 2: a normal full week.

245
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 1: You do. You just want to get a peek at him,

246
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 1: you know, without without kind of confusing the game that

247
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:41,559
Speaker 1: you're currently in. You know, but coaches definitely took advantage

248
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 1: of a Friday afternoon, a little bit of a Saturday,

249
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 1: even after the game yesterday, coming in and getting some

250
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 1: work in yesterday, and and you know, trying to trying

251
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 1: to stay ahead as much as possible.

252
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 5: You did exactly ease smooth back into game action. He

253
00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 5: had thirty the snaps. How did you think he looked?

254
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 5: D Do you think his get off was a little

255
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 5: tad bit slower over yeah?

256
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,200
Speaker 1: I think no. I think last week I was asked

257
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 1: if he'd be on a pitch count and I said no,

258
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 1: and and he, you know, he was. He was good.

259
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, he's had a couple of plays

260
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 1: in there. I mean, just settling into the game. That

261
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 1: was one thing that he and I talked about just

262
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,319
Speaker 1: he just just be him, don't try to chase a play,

263
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:30,680
Speaker 1: you know, make plays that come his direction. And I

264
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 1: asked him this morning, you know how he felt. He

265
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 1: said he actually felt pretty good physically, you know, coming

266
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 1: out of the game and and and all of that.

267
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:43,359
Speaker 1: But you know, overall, you know, he again, much like Cam,

268
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 1: you know, he's going to be uh, you know, kind

269
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 1: of a week to week improvement, you know, until he

270
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,079
Speaker 1: kind of gets his legs under him, you know, football

271
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 1: legs that way. But you know, thirty two of seventy

272
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 1: plus snaps, you know, is a good, good chunk for

273
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 1: a first time player coming off of a you know,

274
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 1: a c L. He did well, though, he did good.

275
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 1: How specialized types.

276
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 3: Darius Williams played band recently Verd strike weeks with the interception.

277
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,319
Speaker 1: It seems like the ball, you know, ends up ends

278
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 1: up his way and he makes plays on it, you know.

279
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 1: And he's such a smart player, savvy player, and and

280
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 1: just he's got really good hands, you know, and and

281
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 1: good ball skills and and you know, he's just been

282
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 1: making making the plays when they come. And that's that's

283
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 1: what you want, you know. And and there's obviously a

284
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 1: huge play and obviously Atlanta the pick six, and then

285
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: last week Buffalo and again you know again Sunday. So

286
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 1: keep that going, okay, coaching, all right, guys,
