Getting the money there in that 29 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 4: three zero thing that was big. 30 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,880 Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, there's no question that you know, every 31 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 5: time we go out there, we'd love to score thirty 32 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 5: and ring the bell a few times, but defensively to 33 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 5: get the performances we've gotten out of them in a 34 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 5: time where we're trying to you know, really work through 35 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 5: you know, some adversity on offense and to get the 36 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:52,880 Speaker 5: special teams performance we did in the end. I know, 37 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 5: you know, the fantasy football world we live in, nobody 38 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 5: as an offensive coach, you know, nobody more than me, 39 00:01:58,520 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 5: wants to go out there and let up. 40 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 6: The school or a rare fantasy. 41 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 5: The the the idea is, you know, the whole time 42 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 5: last week was to come back with our seventh point, 43 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 5: and we did that. 44 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,639 Speaker 4: Yeah, if they started, Joe. Since they got three points. 45 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:14,400 Speaker 4: That's exactly and that's really all you need. Speaking of kicking, 46 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,799 Speaker 4: there were a couple of times last week publicly that 47 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 4: you mention, you stressed the importance in a game like 48 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 4: that game against Las Vegas of flipping the field and 49 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 4: the punter came through with four inside the twenty. I mean, 50 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 4: personally speaking, I thought that was massive. 51 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 5: Yeah, I thought it was huge. And we've we've worked it, 52 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,919 Speaker 5: we've talked about it. Field position in the NFL, it's 53 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,240 Speaker 5: a critical stat and especially when you are in a 54 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 5: low scoring game, every yard matters. I thought some of 55 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 5: the things VP did trying to get us some yards 56 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 5: back and see if we could get those tough, you know, 57 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 5: decision type catch catches for a punner turner and turn 58 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 5: them into a five, ten to fifteen yard game. 59 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 6: Those all matter. 60 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 5: And then like you said, Ryan right stepping in there 61 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,839 Speaker 5: and having four inside the twenty and really good directionally 62 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,080 Speaker 5: to help with our coverage units, and you know, all 63 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 5: the way around. I thought it was a really solid effort. 64 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 4: And with him correct me if I'm wrong here, because 65 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:08,959 Speaker 4: I just don't remember a lot of the directional punts 66 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:10,919 Speaker 4: last year. I mean, is that something on what she's 67 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,239 Speaker 4: working and looking to improve every game? 68 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean a lot of times last year we 69 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 5: were trying to rookie punter just let him, you know, 70 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:20,799 Speaker 5: take some swings at it and hit it with hang 71 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 5: time and and and some depth there, let our gunners 72 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 5: get down there. Now we're really trying to hone in 73 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 5: on trying to pin the returners in certain areas and 74 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,519 Speaker 5: leverage those returns and really take advantage of the fact 75 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 5: that we are getting some friendly looks because we faked 76 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 5: a couple this year. A lot of times people are 77 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 5: any you know, anything even close that we're getting a 78 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 5: lot of safe looks and allowing us to you know, 79 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 5: really hone in on getting some coverage down there and 80 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 5: take advantage of Ryan's ability to pin people deep. 81 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 6: How often do you practice the pooch? 82 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a that's a you know, one every couple 83 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 5: weeker And you know, didn't get the greatest you know 84 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 5: of swings from Greg there, but kind of in that 85 00:03:57,720 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 5: gray area where we wanted to make sure. 86 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 6: We're using clock at the very least. And I've lost 87 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 6: lost a. 88 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 5: Football game at the Buzzer one time against the Ravens 89 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 5: when I was in Cleveland kicking a field goal, not 90 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 5: super similar situation, but when it was blocked and returned 91 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 5: for a touchdown, you know, it goes back to head 92 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,040 Speaker 5: coaching decision versus you know, six nothing feels a lot 93 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,039 Speaker 5: better than three nothing when you look back on that one. 94 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,840 Speaker 5: But the best thing to do in that moment was, 95 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,679 Speaker 5: you know, to get Depot a fire snap to Greg 96 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,479 Speaker 5: and you'd love to kick it high and allow that 97 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 5: clock to kind of naturally took off and no returners 98 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:35,840 Speaker 5: on the field, so you feel good about if they 99 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:37,919 Speaker 5: do try to field the ball, maybe we get ourselves 100 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,840 Speaker 5: a cheap turnover to add to the two our defense 101 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:44,160 Speaker 5: already had in the moment. So kind of a situational call. 102 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 5: You know, the analytics guys out there probably loved it. 103 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 5: I would have loved a little bit better execution, but 104 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 5: that's why we go back to work. 105 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,599 Speaker 4: Well, the I mean you mentioned like the status quo 106 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:58,360 Speaker 4: analytics like overarching view that that people will read. Well, 107 00:04:58,480 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 4: if that were the case, you can go for two 108 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 4: every time. You never would punch. I mean, just all 109 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 4: of that. I'm sure you've seen that, right. 110 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,479 Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, the one thing we've talked about this 111 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:08,040 Speaker 5: before I know, and. 112 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 4: Our two point game, by the way, was the bomb 113 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 4: last year. Are our two point games really good? 114 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:12,479 Speaker 3: Yeah? 115 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 5: And a lot of that is because those are scoring plays, 116 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 5: So we've got to get down in the red zone 117 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 5: to have some decisions to make on that, obviously, But no, 118 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 5: I think you look around the league and you see, 119 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 5: you know, some of the scenarios down fourteen and you 120 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 5: score like Tennessee did last week. There's some things that 121 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 5: we absolutely would would really look long and hard at. 122 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,799 Speaker 5: But I think it's important nowadays to understand. As great 123 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,839 Speaker 5: as all of that information is, and I value it tremendously, 124 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 5: it's a huge part of my decision making. There's still 125 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 5: a feel, there's still a feel of how the game's going, 126 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 5: what particular side of the ball you know is playing 127 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 5: well for your team, and where you want to kind 128 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,119 Speaker 5: of hedge on the risk that comes with that because 129 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 5: in the end, you know, we are winning close games, 130 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 5: trying to without some of our you know, our best 131 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:05,600 Speaker 5: players in there, and significantly losing players throughout a game 132 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:05,919 Speaker 5: like that. 133 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:07,040 Speaker 6: On offense, that's. 134 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 5: Where I was most proud pa about our ability not 135 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,359 Speaker 5: to turn the football over no matter what. And I 136 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 5: think it's a great lesson because we found a way 137 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:15,840 Speaker 5: to win a game where we weren't at our best 138 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 5: even close to it offensively, but we did not turn 139 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 5: the football over and the defense really in the end 140 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 5: ended up forcing three with that final play, kind of 141 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,159 Speaker 5: pitch it around play that ended up helping our margin. 142 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 6: For the year. 143 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 4: Punching fan line undoubtedly continues later and we expect Greg 144 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 4: Coleman and or Shawn Landetta to join us, but for now, 145 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,560 Speaker 4: Kevin O'Connell, head coach of the Minnesota Vikings, is on 146 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 4: x'es and o's and personally speaking, I just love what 147 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,479 Speaker 4: you guys have pulled from dj Wanham this year.

But to make a lot of 155 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:03,240 Speaker 5: it that other guy on the edge, whether he's dropping, 156 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 5: whether he's rushing, you know, getting to the quarterback for 157 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 5: another sack like he did last week, or you know, 158 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,559 Speaker 5: being a real force in the run game set and edges, 159 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:15,920 Speaker 5: playing with physicality, you know, flow very early on identify 160 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 5: DJ as a guy that could kind of be the 161 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 5: jack of all trades type player, great compliment to Denil 162 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 5: on the other side, and he's taking that role and 163 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 5: really turned it into you know, his best season and 164 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 5: really turning into a really impactful player for us.

I'd love 177 00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 5: to see your call sheet up there. 178 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 6: In the box trying to find out I die before five. 179 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 5: Got that, Zach trying to figure out what to call 180 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 5: some of these guys. But that's that's the nature of 181 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 5: it because offensively, we have to try to figure out 182 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 5: who's who and target things accordingly, and that's one of 183 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 5: the ways you can very simply cause some confusion for 184 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 5: the other side and flowing. 185 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 6: His guys do a great job with that. 186 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 4: And and metallis I mean both safety spots, inside linebacker, 187 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 4: outside linebacker. I mean what what like? What positions has 188 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 4: he played like this year? 189 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:30,120 Speaker 5: Inside corner what I think depending on the look, I'm 190 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,080 Speaker 5: sure we can find some clips where he's gone out 191 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,280 Speaker 5: there to the outside corner spot and match the tight 192 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,679 Speaker 5: end or back. He's he's around the line of scrimmage 193 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 5: a lot. He's in the deep part of the field. 194 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,680 Speaker 5: He's making he's being the middle runner against the Packers, 195 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:44,920 Speaker 5: you know, stealing an interception there down the middle of 196 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 5: the field, had another opportunity versus Denver. You know, it's 197 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,560 Speaker 5: his versatility, but it's great to be versatile, but it's 198 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 5: his effectiveness of doing all those jobs really really well. 199 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,200 Speaker 5: It's you know, he's been one of those guys that 200 00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 5: I've always thought of as as kind of that you know, 201 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,600 Speaker 5: guy that can fill a lot of different roles. Physical 202 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 5: enough in the run game, great Blitzer, has some ball skills, 203 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,840 Speaker 5: great tackler in space, and it's always kind of shown 204 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:12,120 Speaker 5: up historically throughout his career in the kicking game, a 205 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 5: lot of those skill sets have just been applied to 206 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 5: the defensive side of the ball, and he's thriving, really, 207 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:17,600 Speaker 5: really playing well. 208 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:21,600 Speaker 4: It is one of Nick Mullin's top traits. His arm strength. 209 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think he's got good arm strength for sure, 210 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 5: But where it looks like his arm strength is really 211 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 5: coming to life as his suddenness, his compact delivery, his 212 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,400 Speaker 5: ability to play grounded and get the ball out in 213 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,720 Speaker 5: rhythm on time, be a great decision maker, be accurate 214 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 5: with the football and then the football IQ and understanding 215 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,720 Speaker 5: of this is the coverage, this is what we were 216 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 5: hunting on the play. 217 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 6: Did we get that? Look? Did we not? 218 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:51,319 Speaker 5: Whereas my progression starting, continuing and finishing, That's where Nick's 219 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,599 Speaker 5: comfort in our offense really came to life late in 220 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,760 Speaker 5: the game, trying to find a way to move the 221 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 5: football without Bo and Maddie and JJ in the game, 222 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 5: and Nick brought us down the field and did exactly 223 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:03,880 Speaker 5: what was required in the moment to find a find 224 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:05,320 Speaker 5: a way to those massive three points. 225 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 4: Now now clearly the Bengals are down Joe Burrow and 226 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,599 Speaker 4: the game is at noon on Saturday on KFA and 227 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 4: the Bikings Radio Network. Defensively speaking, Trey Hendrickson and the 228 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:19,160 Speaker 4: rest of the Cats, what how how similar are they 229 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,320 Speaker 4: from what you see now to what you saw a 230 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,320 Speaker 4: couple of years ago when you beat him in the 231 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 4: Super Bowl. 232 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,839 Speaker 5: Yeah, they're you know, similar from a standpoint of Hendrickson 233 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 5: and Hubbard on the edges, BJ Hill inside, you know, 234 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,679 Speaker 5: the Logan Wolfson, a lot of those the players that 235 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 5: I remember getting ready for. You know, where they've kind 236 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 5: of changed and morphed a little bit is on that 237 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:42,080 Speaker 5: back end. They're much younger at the safety spot. You know, 238 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,480 Speaker 5: they lost a couple of players in free agency and 239 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:48,559 Speaker 5: they replenished those guys with some young players. I've always 240 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 5: I've always thought that, you know, the at the nickel spot. 241 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 5: You know, they have a really strong player, good blitzer, 242 00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 5: a guy that's really sticky in coverage in Hilton. And 243 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 5: then you know o Woozia, whether going back to my 244 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:05,320 Speaker 5: time in Washington when he was in Dallas or since 245 00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 5: transitioning to Cincinnati, expect him to match Justin and follow 246 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:12,040 Speaker 5: him around. And that'll be a great matchup to watch 247 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:13,440 Speaker 5: two really good players going at. 248 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,840 Speaker 4: It and with Jake Browning, the former Viking and quarterback. 249 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 4: He was on the practice squad here twenty nineteen and 250 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:24,200 Speaker 4: twenty twenty. Is is the screen game more prominent. 251 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,199 Speaker 6: With them right now? They're the Yeah, they're the best 252 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:27,679 Speaker 6: screen team in the NFL. They are. 253 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:31,000 Speaker 5: Whether it's Joe in there, whether it's whether it's Brownie. 254 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:33,920 Speaker 5: Zach and his staff do a great job. They want 255 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,959 Speaker 5: to try to whether it's the receiver screens get them 256 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,920 Speaker 5: touches and trying to get a guy like Jamar Chase 257 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,280 Speaker 5: touches because he's, you know, one of the best in 258 00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,840 Speaker 5: our league after the catch. That's really what makes him 259 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 5: such a special special player. But then mixing and you 260 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,720 Speaker 5: know brown the rookie from Illinois. You know, these guys 261 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:53,440 Speaker 5: are really good with the ball in their hands. 262 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:54,640 Speaker 6: They break a lot of tackles. 263 00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,280 Speaker 5: I think they're second in the league in you know, 264 00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 5: yards after contact as rushers, and they're second in the 265 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,680 Speaker 5: league as far as receiving yards after the catch. So 266 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,199 Speaker 5: you've got a collection of skill players that you've got 267 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,960 Speaker 5: to have an elite day tackling and it's those ones 268 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:12,160 Speaker 5: pa that whether it is a safety in space and 269 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:13,719 Speaker 5: if you make the tackle, it's a gain of three 270 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 5: or four. If you don't, it goes for twenty five 271 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,599 Speaker 5: or thirty. So the way the way they kind of 272 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 5: get distribution of the field and spread you out and 273 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 5: really try to activate things, that's what makes them so 274 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,960 Speaker 5: difficult because at any point and time, all down and distance, 275 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 5: you can get one of those screens right and the 276 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:33,480 Speaker 5: execution is great. The linemen understand the timing, the landmark, 277 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:35,840 Speaker 5: and they become really hard plays to defend. 278 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:39,040 Speaker 4: And with Joe Mixon, I would imagine he's going to 279 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:42,240 Speaker 4: test the run defense with that bruising style. 280 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,120 Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, that's just tough. 281 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,560 Speaker 5: I mean he runs through very rarely does he get 282 00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:48,520 Speaker 5: tackled by the first defender. That's why you get to 283 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:52,560 Speaker 5: get multiple vikings to him when we can. It's going 284 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 5: to be a challenge. I mean they get him. He's 285 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,319 Speaker 5: a gun runner, he's a dot runner. He can really 286 00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:59,400 Speaker 5: run the wide zone, get downhill as a physical you 287 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,120 Speaker 5: know duo, you know downhill, get behind double teams type 288 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:04,920 Speaker 5: runner as well. So between the screen game and their 289 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 5: ability to be effective with really mixing and brown as 290 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:11,600 Speaker 5: kind of a you know, one two punch, They've they've 291 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 5: got the ability to move the football very efficiently. 292 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 6: And then just when you. 293 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 5: Start to load up that box play a little bit 294 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:20,439 Speaker 5: more single high. They're taking timely shots to Higgins and 295 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:24,320 Speaker 5: and and Chase outside and those plays change the whole 296 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:25,120 Speaker 5: dynamic of the game. 297 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 4: And and and screenplays correct me if I'm wrong here. 298 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 4: I mean, those could be gotcha's against the blitz at 299 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 4: the wrong time, you know, I mean for sure, and 300 00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:33,440 Speaker 4: that could be nasty. 301 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,719 Speaker 5: You know, that's that's you know, if you're going to 302 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 5: live by the blitz, you know, eventually people are gonna 303 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:42,800 Speaker 5: get some plays schematically die and diagrammed against you. And 304 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:44,560 Speaker 5: and we've seen that at times this year. But our 305 00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:47,440 Speaker 5: guys have reacted and they're ready for uh kind of 306 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:51,800 Speaker 5: the problem plays for what defense we are in because consistently, 307 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 5: when you're applying pressure like we do, you kind of 308 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:56,400 Speaker 5: see the playbook over the course of the season, and 309 00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 5: that allows our guys to react and recognize, diagnose, and 310 00:13:59,480 --> 00:13:59,840 Speaker 5: go make. 311 00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 4: A play fastest to twenty wins in the history of 312 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,960 Speaker 4: the team.

Does that 337 00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:25,800 Speaker 6: is that taking. 338 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,160 Speaker 4: Into consideration when you think about the role you put 339 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:28,480 Speaker 4: him in. 340 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:32,400 Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, when you around the meeting room or 341 00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 7: around the building, a guy might not seem like the 342 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 7: guy calling the plays out there, but he communicates. And 343 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,200 Speaker 7: we tested that in the preseason and in practice and 344 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:45,200 Speaker 7: he he was fine with it. 345 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 6: So it's been just great for him to get the experience. 346 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 7: And you know, his demeanor around different settings is not 347 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,080 Speaker 7: quite the same as it is when that locker room 348 00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:57,880 Speaker 7: door closes, maybe per se, So you know what I mean, 349 00:15:57,880 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 7: there's something for sure, Yeah, one hundred percent. 350 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:02,440 Speaker 4: I mean it's it's the Jack's the cliche Jeckelin hide 351 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:05,440 Speaker 4: thing like well, you know he after after in the 352 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 4: locker rooms, like I got the dog in me. I mean, 353 00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:10,000 Speaker 4: but dogs also like to rest and be quiet, and 354 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:11,800 Speaker 4: then all of a sudden they just start going after. 355 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:15,120 Speaker 4: That might be him speaking of Ivan Page Junior in 356 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:18,200 Speaker 4: your in your first without Hicks. All right, you're at 357 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 4: Denver and you're going against Sean Payton, you know who 358 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:25,080 Speaker 4: knows how to get around offensively speaking? Did did do 359 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:28,120 Speaker 4: you happen to remember if Sean tested Ivan in the 360 00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:31,000 Speaker 4: passing game a lot that game, because that's like the 361 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,760 Speaker 4: first thing I was thinking, because Hicks is so good 362 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,240 Speaker 4: on those drops that, Okay, we're gonna see if Ivan 363 00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:37,240 Speaker 4: can cover the pass. 364 00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:39,840 Speaker 7: Right now, I think you know, one of the things 365 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:45,080 Speaker 7: is we don't play traditional quarters the way a lot 366 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,560 Speaker 7: of the league does, where people try to isolate the 367 00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:51,160 Speaker 7: linebacker to the backside of three by one or you know, 368 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,240 Speaker 7: in the formation on on the mic backer with three 369 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:57,200 Speaker 7: detached for the back week. Yeah, so we don't put 370 00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:01,120 Speaker 7: the guys in that situation a lot. And the pieces 371 00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,920 Speaker 7: move around so much, you know, you could think you're 372 00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:06,800 Speaker 7: getting that, and there goes Mattella's showing up or THEO 373 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:11,000 Speaker 7: at that spot, and it's kind of hard to predict 374 00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 7: when that you're gonna have that matchup. 375 00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:15,840 Speaker 4: And I'm not asking you to speak for Flores, petn 376 00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:19,400 Speaker 4: Andr O'Connell or anything, but in your days in the NFL, 377 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:23,080 Speaker 4: or like when you you started putting this together as 378 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 4: a staff, have you ever seen anything like this? This amba, 379 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:31,200 Speaker 4: this hybrid this you know, here's Steo Jackson doesn't play 380 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,160 Speaker 4: two and a half quarters now he's in a ton 381 00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 4: Andre Carter doesn't play basically the full game at Lambeau 382 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:39,439 Speaker 4: and now he's blitzing three times in a row like 383 00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:41,640 Speaker 4: one of the big times of the game. Jordan Love 384 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:43,960 Speaker 4: must have been like fifty five. What I haven't seen 385 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,600 Speaker 4: you on film? Have you ever seen anything like that? 386 00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:50,919 Speaker 7: No? No, short answer no. And the amazing thing is, 387 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:52,480 Speaker 7: it's it's ingredients. 388 00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:54,399 Speaker 6: It's people. 389 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:58,840 Speaker 7: It's Kevin you know who he's hired. It's Flow, It's 390 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:03,320 Speaker 7: the way Flow handles coaches develops them both groups. 391 00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:07,480 Speaker 6: You know, it's pet and being there. It's our secondary coach. 392 00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:11,800 Speaker 8: You know, we we all coach each other and other players, 393 00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:18,200 Speaker 8: but that defensive room has some great ingredients in terms 394 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:18,800 Speaker 8: of people. 395 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:21,879 Speaker 6: And you know, Ivan being a rookie. 396 00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 7: You got to credit Harry Phillips up front for communicating 397 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:31,840 Speaker 7: with the kid. Josh Mattellis is really bright player, obviously, 398 00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:35,919 Speaker 7: Harry Smith. You know, we got some really good players 399 00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:39,720 Speaker 7: around him, and we have people in the defensive room. 400 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,720 Speaker 7: Flow knows you know, how far he can push the 401 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:46,600 Speaker 7: package with him out there when he has the dial 402 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:50,080 Speaker 7: it back, and you know, constantly looking to change to 403 00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:53,400 Speaker 7: people's strengths and not put them in a situation where 404 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:57,240 Speaker 7: their weakness will get exposed so that No, I've not 405 00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:02,960 Speaker 7: been around this because of the people. It's not someone 406 00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,160 Speaker 7: saying this is the way we do it and that's it. 407 00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 7: It's constantly can we tweet this to get get this 408 00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:11,840 Speaker 7: guy to do something that he does. 409 00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:12,159 Speaker 6: Better than this. 410 00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:15,520 Speaker 7: And then you add Petton is a mad scientist up 411 00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:20,240 Speaker 7: there drawing pressures up and and Kevin just creates a 412 00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:23,399 Speaker 7: culture of you know, the people he brings in. So 413 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:27,679 Speaker 7: it's a pretty cool answer. No, I've not been around this, 414 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:31,960 Speaker 7: and I've been around some great things, but just the 415 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:33,679 Speaker 7: chemistry is fantastic. 416 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:34,440 Speaker 6: It's the players. 417 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:38,200 Speaker 7: They deserve a lot of credit for the way they've 418 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:38,600 Speaker 7: been playing. 419 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:40,680 Speaker 6: They've decided to play that way. Let me be clear 420 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:41,080 Speaker 6: about that. 421 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:44,720 Speaker 4: And I know you know Hicks is going to Hozon 422 00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:47,639 Speaker 4: not for the Cincinnati game, but like Hicks having the 423 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,680 Speaker 4: best season overall season of his career, likewise for Hunter 424 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,640 Speaker 4: and want them and buying them and Harrison Phillips career 425 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:55,200 Speaker 4: high sacks. 426 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:56,560 Speaker 6: It's just all over. 427 00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:58,679 Speaker 4: The place, people jumping up having the best seasons of 428 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:04,520 Speaker 4: their careers. Lastly, here your guy specifically inside linebackers, and 429 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 4: I mean you can speak for other shoe if you like, 430 00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:10,960 Speaker 4: but against Joe Mixing specifically, I mean it would have 431 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:14,080 Speaker 4: to be maybe the most bruising back you're going to 432 00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:14,840 Speaker 4: see all year. 433 00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:17,600 Speaker 7: Right, Yeah, Like, I'm glad you brought him up because 434 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,800 Speaker 7: we need to move on from Ivan's game last week. 435 00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:25,080 Speaker 7: That this is a ferocious back we're playing. This is 436 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 7: a super Bowl pedigree team we're playing, so we gotta 437 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:31,359 Speaker 7: we got to work cut out for us.
