1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:04,960
Speaker 1: Us through doing Drew, how is he doing good? Yeah?

2
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:07,240
Speaker 1: The practice anybody you're ruling.

3
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:07,680
Speaker 2: Out yet.

4
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 1: You spec bought to be your back and be able

5
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:12,040
Speaker 1: to be your back up this week.

6
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean we'll go like we normally do practice

7
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 3: and have our meetings and make all our final decisions.

8
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:21,440
Speaker 3: Having three on the fifty three through QBS the emergency

9
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 3: TV is just automatically, right.

10
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:25,960
Speaker 1: You'll have somebody to be that role, right, we will.

11
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 3: Actually you excided to actually have a real game and

12
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 3: see you know what your team actually is.

13
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 1: Yeah. Again, put a lot of hard work.

14
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:39,879
Speaker 3: You guys have done everything they could possibly do through OTAs,

15
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:41,200
Speaker 3: through training camp.

16
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 1: The coaches spent a lot of time preparing for opening game.

17
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:47,519
Speaker 1: And you know, the unique thing about the opening game.

18
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:51,479
Speaker 3: Is you have seventeen games plus additional information to look at.

19
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 3: Information overload at times as a coach when you're looking

20
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 3: at things. So you know, yesterday with the day off,

21
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 3: kind of tighten things up coaching staff wise, minimize some

22
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 3: of the things. Make sure that we can go out

23
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,040
Speaker 3: there and play fast, know what to do, play physical.

24
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:07,959
Speaker 3: That's what really the I'd say the first few weeks

25
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 3: are in the National Football League, so you know, we've

26
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,039
Speaker 3: done everything we possibly can do. You know, we'll have

27
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:17,479
Speaker 3: a good day today Friday, situational football. I'll go out

28
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 3: there and try to compete and play as tough, physical,

29
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 3: smart football as we can.

30
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 4: And you guys, when Daniel played his best in twenty

31
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,960
Speaker 4: twenty two, he led the league at lowest interception rate.

32
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,119
Speaker 4: You guys didn't really push the ball down the field

33
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 4: the way you guys are pushing the ball down the

34
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 4: field now. So I guess my question is do you

35
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 4: have to be willing to live with more mistakes and

36
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:42,039
Speaker 4: more interceptions to trade off for more big plays or

37
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 4: does he have to thread the needle of finding aggressiveness

38
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 4: without making mistakes.

39
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good question. Ryan.

40
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 3: Look, you might call five six shots a game and

41
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 3: throw it to the back four or five times based

42
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 3: on what the defense is doing, what I want him

43
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 3: to do, which I want all the players to do. Coaches,

44
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 3: you know, all of us is to make the best

45
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 3: decision whatever that is. So if it is a forty

46
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 3: yard fifty yard bomb, or if it's an intermediate throw

47
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 3: or taking a check down or throwing it away or

48
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 3: taking a sack, if there's nothing there, you know, not

49
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 3: you know, jeopardy, jeopardizing the ball, making sure we try

50
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 3: to stay in rhythm on offense.

51
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 1: But that's it. The job of a.

52
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 3: Quarterback is to make he handles the ball on every play,

53
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 3: make the right decisions, get us to the right plays

54
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,679
Speaker 3: if he needs to, and you know, turn it loose

55
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,079
Speaker 3: when he needs to turn it loose. Were there any

56
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:37,359
Speaker 3: corresponding moves to cutting Carter yesterday or yeah, so he'll

57
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 3: he'll go on to practice squad and then yack, we

58
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:41,799
Speaker 3: release Jack off the practice squad because you can only

59
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 3: have so many.

60
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:48,079
Speaker 1: Veterans fill the actor squad. We still no, we didn't

61
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 1: do anything with that yet. There going to before the

62
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: game again, we'll talk about We'll talk about that stuff tonight.

63
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: Gave you talk about darnl the other day that one

64
00:02:58,240 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 1: day time.

65
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, what is the He speaks to the importance of continuity.

66
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 3: He has not a lot of continuity in his career

67
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:05,959
Speaker 3: so far, and I'm kind of curious what you see

68
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 3: out of him now.

69
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 1: Obviously he seems to be a much more stable situation.

70
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, again, I've spoke to this. I got a lot

71
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 3: of respect for Sam, did a lot of work on

72
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 3: him and had good communication with him through the whole process,

73
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 3: have gotten to know him over the years. He's pretty

74
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 3: close with Josh, so good young man. I think he's

75
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 3: in a good spot with Kevin. Again, it's a hard

76
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 3: it's a hard position to play. It's a hard position

77
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 3: to win at. But last ten Super Bowls, seven of

78
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 3: them have won by two quarterbacks, right right, Brady and Mahomes.

79
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 3: So it's not sixteen to the last twenty three have

80
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 3: been won by five Roethlisberger, both Manning brothers, Brady and Mahomes.

81
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 3: It's a tough position. I think he's in a good

82
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 3: spot within with Kevin. Got a lot of respect for him,

83
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 3: and he's got.

84
00:03:55,280 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: All the talent in the world. And good young man. Right, Yeah,

85
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: just back to the Coughlin decision. What was what motive?

86
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 1: What was motivated?

87
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:09,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would say good roster management stuff, Yeah, just moving, Yeah,

88
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 3: I would just I'll leave it at roster management.

89
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: Good question for Joe. But that's that's where we're at.

90
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 1: Do you expect Jacob Johnson or got Johnson to be back. Yeah, again,

91
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: all those things.

92
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 3: It's week to week here, we're moving, shuffling things around.

93
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 3: I say that happens probably with a lot of teams

94
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 3: in the early part of the year.

95
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: What's your plan at the second cornerback spot. We'll find out.

96
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 3: We'll go Tod Drew will take a bunch of reps.

97
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 3: We'll see how he feels. I think he feels good. Quarterback, cornerback, corner.

98
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, we'll make that decision. We'll have someone in mind.

99
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 4: Would you like to have one guy play the majority

100
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 4: of that or could you have a different guy?

101
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 1: Yeah?

102
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:55,239
Speaker 3: Again, we'll talk about that after practice today.

103
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:56,600
Speaker 1: It looks good.

104
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, in shape, he's had a couple of good practices,

105
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,359
Speaker 3: picked up the system. Well, you know, he's been with

106
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 3: the Shane before, so encouraged by you know, the last few.

107
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: Days with him. You're more shaping up the guest game

108
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 1: shape at this point. Yeah, he's done. He's done a

109
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 1: good job in practice and we've you know, upped his reps.

110
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: He's been out there. It looks good. What are your

111
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 1: expectations for Daniel this season? What do you want to

112
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 1: see from him?

113
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll just say we're focused on Minnesota. So again,

114
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,039
Speaker 3: making the right decisions and putting the ball where it

115
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 3: needs to be put taking care of the football. He's

116
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 3: done a good job up to this point OTA's training

117
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 3: camp done everything he possibly could do to get ready

118
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 3: for this game.

119
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: How much are you expecting him to be more of

120
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: a playmaker? Though?

121
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,600
Speaker 3: Maybe is in set, but I know kind of along

122
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 3: the lines with Ryan said before, you want to shoot,

123
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 3: throw the ball down the field more and can take

124
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 3: more shots.

125
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:50,160
Speaker 1: Possibly, are your expectations for him that you need him

126
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 1: to make more plays? Yeah?

127
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 3: I just I expect him to go out there and

128
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 3: do everything you can do to play as good as

129
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 3: he can play, know the game plan, which he does,

130
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,120
Speaker 3: and then whatever those decisions are. I mean, again, like

131
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 3: I said, it's a tough position to play, so make

132
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,720
Speaker 3: the right decisions whenever that's called upon.

133
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 4: You didn't pretty open this game though about Yeah, I

134
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 4: think even the one theory one game the starters play,

135
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 4: the emphasis was to throw the ball down the field.

136
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:13,719
Speaker 1: In the preseason game.

137
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,039
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I mean all training camp we saw that

138
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 4: it was mostly it was an aggressive, throw the ball

139
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,359
Speaker 4: down the field offense. You had stats one day I

140
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:24,239
Speaker 4: think on why that is? Why are you guys trying

141
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 4: to become a more aggressive down the field offense.

142
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 3: Well, I'll just say we're trying to be as good

143
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 3: of offense as we can so again, whether that's down

144
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,600
Speaker 3: the field, intermediate run, game inside outside, you know, usually

145
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 3: takes eleven guys to operate successful play. And again whatever that,

146
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 3: whatever the situation is, you know, you live in a

147
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 3: world of just throwing the ball down the field. I mean,

148
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 3: the more you throw down the field, the lower the

149
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:51,039
Speaker 3: completion percentages. Staying on tracks important. Being able to execute

150
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 3: all facets of offense is really important, not just one area.

151
00:06:55,120 --> 00:07:00,160
Speaker 3: But big plays help you know, skip third, downs the

152
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 3: ball a little bit further down the field. There's less

153
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 3: plays in a drive. All those things happen, so you've

154
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 3: got to be really really efficient on long drives. And again,

155
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 3: the amount of big plays that happen each and every

156
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 3: year is it's small, but it is significant in terms

157
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 3: of outcomes of games and points.

158
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 2: You mentioned information overload. Like from a Coulting perspective, going

159
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 2: into the weekend, you have to strike that right balance

160
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 2: the idea.

161
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 1: You don't want to go too.

162
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 2: Far down the rabbit hole of saying, you know what, well,

163
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 2: if they do this, and they do that, and they

164
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 2: do this, how do you work that we see your.

165
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: Guides goes into the camp. I'd say you do that

166
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 1: as a coaching staff. You know, that's what you do

167
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: right now this time of year.

168
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 3: You study as much tape as you can, You have

169
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 3: those conversations, and then you boil it down for the

170
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 3: players to digestible information that they can handle, and.

171
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 1: Then you rely on your rules and the things that

172
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 1: you went through in training camp.

173
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 3: You know, the practices against other teams, the different looks

174
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 3: that you get, the communication it takes down in and

175
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 3: down out to have a successful play, whatever that face

176
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 3: it is.

177
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 1: I mean, they do a good job.

178
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 3: Of rushing the punter and their eight up looks and

179
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 3: the twists and the movements overloads, and you practice that

180
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 3: in OTAs. You practice, not necessarily against Minnesota, but so

181
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 3: you can improve your communication because you don't know what

182
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 3: you're gonna get in the early part of the year.

183
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 3: I'd say probably the first month. It's everything. It's changing,

184
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 3: so teams got to find themselves out. Schemes are a

185
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 3: little bit different, but that's why you do so many

186
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 3: things in the off season training camp, try to practice

187
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 3: against other teams so that you know it happens the

188
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 3: fourth play the game.

189
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 1: Hey, remember we were back in this practice. What we

190
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: did when we got this look?

191
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 3: We adjusted to this on the sideline and you've already

192
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 3: been through that process.

193
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 1: Do you have the last one? Do you have a

194
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 1: swing tackle? How do you look at your backup tackles? Yeah,

195
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 1: there are the two guys that aren't starting. I'm saying, like,

196
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 1: has Jermaine taken any snaps that left tackle?

197
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 4: Like if if something happens, is it automatically one guy

198
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 4: would fill both of those spots or does it depend

199
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 4: on if you needed to use a backup that?

200
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would say that we have a plan for that.

201
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,719
Speaker 3: Who are backup tackles are? Who are a backup center is?

202
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 3: Who are backup guard is? Or we had to move

203
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:01,199
Speaker 3: somebody we've we've talked about that, continue to talk about

204
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,200
Speaker 3: that and put the final touches on it's nights, but

205
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 3: definitely have an idea
