1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,679
Speaker 1: We you know, with a win. What I think really

2
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:04,640
Speaker 1: was important for us is, you know, talking to the

3
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:07,600
Speaker 1: players about how we um you know, I thought, you know,

4
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:09,319
Speaker 1: when people talk about last year, I think the one

5
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:12,000
Speaker 1: thing I try to remind the players of is is

6
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 1: you know, how we've We've gotten our fans and everyone

7
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:17,320
Speaker 1: back into it, and we were we were really excited

8
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:19,759
Speaker 1: to open up here at home. That was a big

9
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:21,919
Speaker 1: thing for us. And obviously the crowd played a big

10
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 1: part in it, and our players feed off that. And um,

11
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:27,480
Speaker 1: I just want to thank our fans for showing up,

12
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:31,480
Speaker 1: Thank our fans for their enthusiasm. And I thought the

13
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:34,159
Speaker 1: assistant coaches did a great job. We felt real comfortable

14
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,159
Speaker 1: with the plan. We're real focused all week and I

15
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,880
Speaker 1: thought that the players did a nice job executing the plan.

16
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 1: And um, I thought the quarterback played well. And you know,

17
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:47,519
Speaker 1: we're able to win. And like I told the players,

18
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 1: that's you know, the second game of the season, and

19
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:51,479
Speaker 1: we got a lot of work in front of us,

20
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 1: and you know, we got a division opponent next week.

21
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 1: We'll enjoy this win and we'll make the corrections and

22
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 1: we'll move on. You guys are so aggressive, what you

23
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 1: please be sad to see that executed so well. We

24
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 1: felt comfortable during the week. We had a lot of

25
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 1: good signs and tells that you know what was going on,

26
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 1: So you know, we we felt good about what we

27
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 1: were trying to do. And then when you know you

28
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:14,320
Speaker 1: feel that way, they just got to go out there

29
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: and execute, and they were able to go out there

30
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 1: and do it. So it's a credit to you know,

31
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:19,479
Speaker 1: like I said before, the assistant coaches did a good

32
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 1: job and you know, the players did a good job

33
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 1: executing because everybody what was your evaluation of Blakely? I

34
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 1: think I think everyone will see all the good things.

35
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 1: I think one of the things that you know, probably

36
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 1: gonna get missed is that first series they had a

37
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: free hitter coming blitzing. You know, he's able to step

38
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 1: to the side, make a miss, make the play down

39
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: the field, and get the third down. And I've said

40
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 1: it before probably too many times that you know, we

41
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: kind of loose sight of what he can do with

42
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 1: his feet. You know, I think that he made some

43
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 1: really good throws today though. He played with a lot

44
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: of confidence, and you know, he knows and understands that

45
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: he has to do that every week, and you know,

46
00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,559
Speaker 1: he catches a lot of ship and you know, today

47
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,559
Speaker 1: he's gonna be okay. You know, everyone's gonna be happy.

48
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 1: And tomorrow is gonna have to come back and start

49
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: working because it'll be evaluated each Sunday, you know, and

50
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: he understands that. And uh, but again he did a

51
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: nice job today. When it was the decision made about

52
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 1: Leonard keeping him out, well, he had a good week. Now.

53
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: We put a lot of work into it. And it

54
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 1: was a point of Lennon wanted to go, you know,

55
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: and then upset risk reward and you try to get

56
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: not get caught up in the game, you know what

57
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 1: I'm saying. And you know, rather than take a chance

58
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: and where he can be out. Um, you know, there's

59
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: it was minor. It was a little thing pulling at it.

60
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: We couldn't get that little thing out, you know what

61
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,920
Speaker 1: I'm saying. So um, you know, we woke up today,

62
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: we talked about today, We came over here about twelve

63
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: worked on it. Uh. We worked on a pretty aggressively

64
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: during the week. I thought I thought it was really

65
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 1: optimistic about it. But at the end of the day,

66
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 1: with my decision, I just didn't want to take a

67
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:57,519
Speaker 1: chance next week then with him I'm ready, I'm I'm

68
00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: just gonna enjoy this win and not I'm not. I

69
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: don't want to come on, you can't do that to me.

70
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:06,959
Speaker 1: You can't don't ruin, don't ruin my next three hours game,

71
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: playing all week to be without for that. Um No,

72
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: Now we didn't. We felt comfortable with t J. I think, uh,

73
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: you know, I got kind of got a little nervous

74
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: when when Jane asked me, you know, on Friday, Gene

75
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: asked me, you know, hey, would you feel comfortable going

76
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 1: into the game with just two running backs? And I

77
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, And then I started thinking about I'm like,

78
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: holy ship, maybe not, you know what I'm saying. So

79
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 1: and I kind of went back and we brought Brandon

80
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:34,679
Speaker 1: up just in case. You know, I really thought it

81
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: was going that way. But we didn't. Um, you know,

82
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: we we we planned like he would be there, knowing

83
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: that t J and Corey would be able to do

84
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: some of the same things. We felt passed it at

85
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: all that with that as you did today. Yeah. Yeah,

86
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 1: Like I said, we didn't know about four that until later,

87
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: until until Saturday on you throw on the red flag

88
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: on the that they had the first down, but then

89
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: you threw the red flack. Did you see that or

90
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: did it's one of the assistants see that. You know,

91
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 1: We've we've got a system set up, Like I said before,

92
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 1: I've talked about it before and people have asked me,

93
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 1: who are those people up there? What it is? And

94
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: I just said, I really don't want to do that,

95
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: you know, because when they make a mistake, will kill him.

96
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: And when they do something good, we'll do it. So

97
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: I'll just take all the credit all the time. It

98
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: is the other victories you've had. I know it's week too,

99
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 1: but it's the Patriots and Camlet is going crazy. How

100
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: does it compare? No, it's a it's a home opener

101
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 1: and it's a win, and you know it's one of

102
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: our team came and we we we felt comfortable going

103
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 1: into the game. I can't I can't explain it any

104
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 1: other way. I mean, we felt good about the plan,

105
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,160
Speaker 1: we felt good about where we were. We had our

106
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 1: players at a heck of a job during a week.

107
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: You know, sometimes as a coach you can tell you

108
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:45,280
Speaker 1: know you never know how they're gonna play. I mean,

109
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 1: I've made that mistake millions of times, Like we probably

110
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: all have, um you know, but I thought, you know,

111
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 1: there's certain times situationally during the week that you know,

112
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 1: they were focused, and I think that they learned that,

113
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:57,479
Speaker 1: you know, you've got to be that way to be

114
00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: good football teams. And we'd be a good football team.

115
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: And we're gonna have you know, a couple of you know,

116
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,599
Speaker 1: the schedules, a tough schedule, one more question of Cam

117
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 1: going out of this game and having to just somebody

118
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 1: else into there. Right, how important was it just to

119
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,799
Speaker 1: keep the continuity going would out and you know, continuity

120
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 1: gets a little bit overblown at times in my opinion.

121
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: As an offensive line coach, I think that's the one

122
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,479
Speaker 1: thing we always look to. I mean, it isn't important,

123
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,039
Speaker 1: it is, but we try to do a good job.

124
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 1: Like I said before, you know, coach Priority does a

125
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: good job in Tony Speranto Jr. Where you know, when

126
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 1: we're doing like the one on one stuff with games

127
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: things that are that really you need that continuity will

128
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: mix it up in there. You know. Josh Wells as

129
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 1: as a guy that you know, has really worked his

130
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: his ass off, you know, to really get up there,

131
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: and you know he came in and did a heck

132
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: of a job, you know today obviously, and the guys

133
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: up fronted a nice job today. Feller approached the week

134
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: and what did you see on his stretch? He was good,

135
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: you know last week, you know when he was suspended,

136
00:05:57,720 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: you know, I talked to him and he was just

137
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 1: you know, working out and training, getting ready to go.

138
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: And he was excited obviously to come back and play.

139
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 1: And you know, probably not not as much as you know,

140
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 1: to get out there and play, but more importantly being

141
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 1: around his teammates. That that's the worst part about suspensions.

142
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 1: You know, it's not necessarily you know, the game or

143
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 1: anything like that. It's just you're not part of your

144
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 1: family and your team. You know, when he came in

145
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 1: and he had a good week, he was ready to go,

146
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:25,719
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, he made a big play in

147
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 1: the game, and as are the players you have to

148
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: make and take the ball away from my times. You

149
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 1: got d d Westbrook and healing cold to a year

150
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 1: young receivers really did some outstanding thing And say what

151
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: what did you see out of those year? Yeah, I

152
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:41,479
Speaker 1: mean it was you know, part of the plan, you know,

153
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: catching run. We knew that was gonna be big. Um,

154
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,359
Speaker 1: you know, catching and killing me. The unbelievable play, you

155
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 1: know on the sideline. You know everybody, everybody saw that.

156
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 1: And you know he's he's a guy who's been real

157
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 1: steady for us. UM really's worked his butt off. I

158
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: think d DS probably, I would say, you know, from

159
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,040
Speaker 1: last year to this year, if you're looking at the

160
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 1: lad of really stepped up, you know, as far as

161
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,720
Speaker 1: being a professional. Um, I think d D has made

162
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 1: the best change or the biggest change of that which

163
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: you know obviously has helped his football team and has

164
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: helped him as a player. I know, you know, I

165
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 1: appreciate that first year is tough, you're trying to find

166
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: your way, and then you know that second year you

167
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: kind of get you kind of get set in a

168
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: way and everything. And he's been good right from the beginning,

169
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 1: very focused and um, you know, and and it is

170
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 1: doing a nice job for us. Did you see enough

171
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 1: of Forrey Grant today that he'll probably be more involved

172
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: in the future. We'll see what fits us best, you know.

173
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, we always felt when you say

174
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: see more of Corey Grant, it sounds like we don't

175
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: have enough, you know, like we don't maybe not like

176
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 1: him or heaven part of it. But you know that's

177
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 1: never been the case with Corey. We know we have,

178
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 1: you know, a guy that has some special talent and skills.

179
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 1: So UM, we've always felt very comfortable with him. He's

180
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 1: on a roster and we look each week and you know,

181
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: to the players on a roster that I give us

182
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: the best opportunity. You know, though Corey did a great

183
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 1: job today, what we're probably a larger load, you know

184
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 1: what I'm saying that normally he had all thanks, all right,

185
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 1: thank you guys. I appreciate it than anything. Then continuing

186
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 1: the company, H what does this one feel? Good? Good? UM?

187
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 1: I mean it's yeah. I think everybody kind of hyped

188
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: the game up a little bit more than we felt. Um.

189
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,560
Speaker 1: The importance of it was insider, I guess made more

190
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:00,839
Speaker 1: of it than you know, I think it actually was.

191
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 1: It was our home opener week two, and UM to us,

192
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: besides that, it wasn't really anything else. You know, we

193
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 1: expected to come out and play good. Um and when

194
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 1: the football game, you know, we didn't think we thought that,

195
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 1: you know, if we played the way um that that

196
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 1: we practiced all week and executed the game plan and

197
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 1: didn't hurt ourselves or do anything stupid that, Um, you know,

198
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 1: we'd be doing what we're doing now. You guys had

199
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 1: an aggressive game plan. How cool is that executed? It

200
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 1: really home based the game. I thought Nathaniel did a

201
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 1: really good job calling plays, obviously, did a good job

202
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,559
Speaker 1: during the week putting the plan together with all the coaches,

203
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 1: and um, you know, I thought it was called, uh,

204
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 1: incredibly well and executed at a high level. You know,

205
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 1: we're a penalty here there. Um. But besides that, I thought,

206
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 1: you know, we played within ourselves and did a good

207
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:41,599
Speaker 1: job just moving to change and making place. Have you

208
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 1: played a better game? Yeah, I don't know. Um. I

209
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 1: mean I think anytime you win, it's a good game. Um.

210
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 1: I mean it's a good football team obviously, so to

211
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 1: beat them is uh is a good win. Um. You know,

212
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 1: I just try to do whatever I can to you know,

213
00:09:57,720 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 1: make sure we can win. If it's stowing for three yards,

214
00:09:59,920 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: or if it's getting us in the right run game

215
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:05,199
Speaker 1: checks or whatever it might be. Um, it was definitely,

216
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 1: you know good for the most part. Today. You've never

217
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: really had a whole lot of verbal jabs back at

218
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 1: anybody who's ever criticized you. I'm guessing you're probably not

219
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 1: gonna start now, or or you if you want to. No, No,

220
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 1: I leave that to Jamie. Uh. If you leave, you,

221
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 1: you're
