1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:00,960
Speaker 1: Co unavailable.

2
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:05,000
Speaker 2: Please raise your hand if you have a question. We

3
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:07,840
Speaker 2: can start with Justin then go to Jamal.

4
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 3: Hey William, it seemed like yesterday you were able to

5
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 3: open up the playbook a little bit and you guys

6
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 3: were able to get some misdirection plays going and just

7
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:24,480
Speaker 3: things of that nature. How much fun do you have

8
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 3: as a play caller when you're able to dial it

9
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 3: up and trick the defense.

10
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:32,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think the key was, you know, having been

11
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:36,480
Speaker 1: on schedule with no negative plays. Really we had two

12
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 1: negative plays total on the day. I know it maybe

13
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 1: looks like we've got asked this now two or three

14
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:46,480
Speaker 1: times that you know, new plays, and none of these

15
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,319
Speaker 1: plays were new. So there were plays that we've had

16
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 1: on the call sheet or that we've been kind of

17
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 1: having repping that you know, you can get off and

18
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 1: you can get you know, on schedule and stay on

19
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 1: schedule for extended period of times. Allowed us to be

20
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,199
Speaker 1: able to you know, execute some calls that we had

21
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 1: ready to go and had practice for the last few weeks.

22
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:12,319
Speaker 1: So great job by the guys staying on schedule, playing physically,

23
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 1: moving the chains, running the football the way we did.

24
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,400
Speaker 1: That definitely makes it more fun to be able to

25
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 1: go call it and just you know, have the confidence

26
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: as a play caller knowing that when you are executing

27
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 1: at a high level, you know you don't it doesn't

28
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 1: matter what the play is called. They're going to go

29
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 1: and make it work. And a lot of that was

30
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 1: showed up yesterday.

31
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 4: Thank you, Jim Wal followed by d Rock.

32
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 2: Hey, Liam, you said yesterday that the team plays better

33
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 2: pissed off. Can you play pissed every week? Can you

34
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 2: play pissed after a win?

35
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 1: Yeah? I mean, I think ultimately we now owe it

36
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 1: to each other to play that way for the rest

37
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 1: you know, for the rest of the year as much

38
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: as possible, right, and we'll see what the result is.

39
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: Like that's got to be our mindset as a team,

40
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 1: is like, we owe it to each other now to

41
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: put that on tape as much as possible for the

42
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 1: for the remainder of the season and let the results

43
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 1: be what they may. And if we can approach it

44
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 1: that way and find the you know, inner mindset every

45
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 1: week that you have to get yourself in a position

46
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 1: to go compete like that every week as a team,

47
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,679
Speaker 1: and each player has to get it get themselves there,

48
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: and it's our jobs to get the units there, so

49
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 1: hopefully we can understand that moving forward.

50
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 2: And what have you seen from Tuton? That was the

51
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 2: most work he's gotten. I mean, what do you do

52
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 2: to earn your trust or was it just kind of

53
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 2: riding the hot hand a little bit?

54
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, we were just both those guys were in and out.

55
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: I mean we've ran it forty seven times, so you're

56
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,639
Speaker 1: just naturally not trying to put too much on one

57
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: guy that you know one way or the other. So

58
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 1: I thought, you know, Toot ran hard, he ran downhill

59
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 1: a couple of third now runs got us vertical. You know,

60
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: he did a really nice job. And then obviously so

61
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 1: to TJ and Loquinn. But two guy has been practicing

62
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 1: better and better and as much as we can continue

63
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 1: to get him involved, the better our offenses. Thanks coach,

64
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: Thank you.

65
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 4: The rock, followed by O'Halloran. A. Liam, are you enjoying

66
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 4: the process of going through and learning about the team

67
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 4: with each you know, situation new situation that they're in

68
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 4: and you're in And what's been sort of the most

69
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 4: interesting or rewarding part of that?

70
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that's part of the journey of being

71
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:33,799
Speaker 1: in this role and being in this you know organization right,

72
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: Being in this opportunity is you're you're able to learn

73
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 1: every week, and as we know in life, just like football,

74
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: the best lessons usually come when you go through something hard,

75
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 1: and so that not only helps us as as players

76
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: and as coaches and as a team, but it helps

77
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 1: us as people grow and learn, and that's ultimately what

78
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: the essence of sport does. And so that is what

79
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: we've talked about a lot, and for me personally in

80
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 1: my first time doing this job, you're able to learn

81
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: about the people you're associated with, the people that are

82
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 1: in your building, the kind of players that you have,

83
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: what they're made of, and you know what makes these

84
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 1: guys respond and what helps them, you know, get to

85
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:16,279
Speaker 1: the place where we have to get to mentally to

86
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 1: go play a game like that we just did, and

87
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,039
Speaker 1: you're finding new things about your team every week. So

88
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 1: it is part of the journey. You want to be

89
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,919
Speaker 1: able to see that kind of level of execution and

90
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 1: passion and energy every week. That's the standard. That's the

91
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 1: opportunity we have, and that's the challenge of coaching and

92
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 1: playing in the NFL is doing it week in and

93
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: week out.

94
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 4: A lot of the guys on this roster were here

95
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,479
Speaker 4: obviously last year when it was not great. Do you

96
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 4: get a sense from those guys maybe a bigger appreciation

97
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 4: for what's happening right now than maybe some of the

98
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 4: other guys you never didn't go through that kind of stuff. Yeah.

99
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I think a number of players, you know,

100
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 1: I spoke to this past week that were on the

101
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 1: team last year that we needed to have some just good, honest,

102
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 1: open conversations throughout the week. And you know a number

103
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 1: of those guys did respond this past week with the

104
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 1: right you know, mindset, mentality and want to do right

105
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 1: and want to help be a part of change and

106
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 1: help be a part of what, you know, the reason

107
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:20,039
Speaker 1: why we continue to hopefully elevate and raise the standard here.

108
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 1: So you know, I know, meaningful games, playing meaningful games

109
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:28,280
Speaker 1: in November and December earned opportunities, and the way that

110
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 1: we go and approach each week is what gives us

111
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 1: the opportunity and gives us that that right. And ultimately,

112
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,039
Speaker 1: I think everybody that's been here or that is here now, new,

113
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: whatever rookies, free agents, I think we all see how

114
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 1: we have to prepare and play for us to have success.

115
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:50,720
Speaker 4: Thank you, Shipley William.

116
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,679
Speaker 5: A couple for you. But you guys ran middle toss

117
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 5: a couple of times to both to ETN. What do

118
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,279
Speaker 5: you like about that play? The options it gives them.

119
00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, it just gets the ball back a little bit

120
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: deeper to them immediately get you know, gets the ball

121
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: in their hands with more depth than just maybe a

122
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: handoff does sometimes. And now it gives the defense maybe

123
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: an illusion that it's going wider than it is, and

124
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 1: it was able to then kind of wind back as

125
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: it was designed as a tight zone run, so you know,

126
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: it helps get the second and third level maybe a

127
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 1: little bit more lateral with the motion that was kind

128
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 1: of associated with it, and then bringing the other tight

129
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 1: end back across to create some misdirection inside to make

130
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: their eyes get a little bit dirtier than maybe you're

131
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 1: really making it. So it was definitely a good job

132
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 1: by our offensive line coaches and run game guys kind

133
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: of coming up with a scheme and the players going

134
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 1: and executing at a high level.

135
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 5: Last one for me, you got Ezra Cleveland back yesterday.

136
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 5: How oppressed have you been with his level of play?

137
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 5: It be just his overall toughness playing through his injury.

138
00:06:55,960 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, really proud Ezra. We needed him, he responded. He's violent,

139
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: he wants to play, He's explosive. He's one of our

140
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 1: most explosive players on the team. He showed that in

141
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 1: the offseason workouts. You know, Ezra wants to play with

142
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 1: a mean streak and kind of beach in a phone booth,

143
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 1: and he has the opportunity to do that. He can

144
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 1: beat at the second level, and he had some great

145
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 1: finishes on some runs down the field, especially late in

146
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 1: that game on the last drive where he's finishing guys

147
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 1: about five seven yards down the field. So need of

148
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: them stepped up in a big way and going to

149
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 1: continue to need that moving forward from Ezra right will

150
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 1: thank you, she A Liam, thanks for doing this. What

151
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 1: did you guys see throughout the week? And Danny and

152
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 1: BJ to you know, kind of want them to be

153
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 1: in that expanded role, and then what did you see

154
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 1: from them yesterday after he went back there to tell

155
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 1: I mean, Danny bj Quinn Morris, it's the epitome of

156
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: what you want your organ your team to be is

157
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: guys earning the right through via special teams, playing their

158
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 1: asses off on special teams, doing their job in practice,

159
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:15,239
Speaker 1: doing their job every day, earning the opportunities on special teams,

160
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 1: playing well, and then earning opportunity to impact the game

161
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 1: on Sundays on offense or defense. I mean, that's that's it,

162
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 1: That's what it should be, that's how it has to be,

163
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 1: and that's how you earn time here. And those guys

164
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 1: have earned it. They've earned it in practice every single

165
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 1: day and it showed up on Sunday where these guys

166
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 1: are impacting the game in a positive way and they

167
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 1: earned those opportunities and that's where you know, our team

168
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 1: needs to continue to build off of excellence.

169
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 2: Tony Wiggins, nor.

170
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 6: Coach, thanks for taking my question. With some of the

171
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 6: guys like Anton and BT and Jordan on the sideline

172
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 6: watching that yesterday, have you spoken to any of them

173
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 6: about exactly how they can re ingratiate themselves into the

174
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:03,559
Speaker 6: lineup and all they're excited about.

175
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I think those guys they're trying to

176
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,199
Speaker 1: get back. I know they both were trying to get

177
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,839
Speaker 1: back in the fray this week. And we'll take it

178
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 1: day by day and week by week with those guys,

179
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 1: but yeah, I think they saw, you know, a team

180
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:20,679
Speaker 1: that they obviously want to be associated with, they want

181
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 1: to be involved in, they want to go help make

182
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: plays for and you know, do it for four quarters.

183
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:29,440
Speaker 1: And ultimately that message is going to continue to be

184
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 1: sent throughout the locker room and spread throughout this building

185
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 1: is that, hey man, we've got to play pissed off

186
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: and efficient and execute like that for four quarters everybody.

187
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 1: That's the standard, and ultimately, if you're not able to

188
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 1: do that, then hey, that's the case.

189
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 3: It is what it is.

190
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: But everybody, I think wants to be involved as much

191
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 1: as those guys do as well.
