1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,480 Speaker 1: I just wanted to ask you about the play acting 2 00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:05,280 Speaker 1: passing game last night and how effective it was and 3 00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:09,640 Speaker 1: what you thought that led to that effectiveness. UM. Yeah, 4 00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:13,240 Speaker 1: we we've definitely got some plays out of it last night. UM. 5 00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:15,520 Speaker 1: You know, we've try to get plays out of it 6 00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:17,799 Speaker 1: each week. UM. You know, if you can marry the 7 00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:20,400 Speaker 1: runs and the and the things you're doing in the 8 00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:23,960 Speaker 1: running game with your with your with your action passes, 9 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,720 Speaker 1: obviously that helps you try to move the ball. Um. 10 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,480 Speaker 1: You know, Buffalo plays an aggressive, you know, aggressive defensive 11 00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:35,400 Speaker 1: front and UM you know they're they're as you saw 12 00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,879 Speaker 1: last night there, they're quick to to try to get 13 00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,600 Speaker 1: downhill and then hit the lot hit a lot of 14 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:45,000 Speaker 1: scrimmage in a running game. UM. And so we tried 15 00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:47,800 Speaker 1: to find some space in there behind it. Thought Tom 16 00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:49,800 Speaker 1: did a good job of trying to, you know, decide 17 00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,520 Speaker 1: whether need you know, whether we had it behind them 18 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:54,280 Speaker 1: or or we had to dump the ball down to 19 00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:56,520 Speaker 1: the back. A few times. It made some positive plays 20 00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:00,360 Speaker 1: there too. So the most important thing in all those 21 00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 1: things is just the overall execution by the level guys 22 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,560 Speaker 1: on the field. And it doesn't always end up the 23 00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:09,440 Speaker 1: way you hope it would would at times. But you know, 24 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,319 Speaker 1: if you can block it right and and fake well 25 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:14,440 Speaker 1: and all the rest of it, give yourself a chance. 26 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:16,800 Speaker 1: And then you gotta have a guy like we do 27 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,400 Speaker 1: at quarterback. They make good decisions and get the ball 28 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 1: with the guys supposed to go to. Just say, quick, Bob, 29 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 1: how much would you say the success of the running 30 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,399 Speaker 1: game he plays a factor and it suffets the play 31 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 1: acc and passing game. Because obviously last night the running 32 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 1: game wasn't quite hitting at all cylinders, but you were 33 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 1: still really effective with the play acc. Yeah, I think, um, 34 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,560 Speaker 1: you know, I mean you look you you got to 35 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:44,319 Speaker 1: try to do both. And certainly, you know they can 36 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:46,640 Speaker 1: play off of each other. I don't know that they're 37 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 1: completely related at all times. Um, you know, but the 38 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 1: fact that the matter is if they're stopping the run, 39 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: it means they're usually coming downhill and you know and 40 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 1: playing good run defense. You know. Um, sometimes the fact 41 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 1: that you're not running it as well as you might like, 42 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:09,639 Speaker 1: which we didn't last night. Um, you know sometimes that 43 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 1: that means it's because they're actually being more aggressive. So um, 44 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 1: you know, you just got to play each game out 45 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 1: and see see each opponent for for what they what 46 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 1: they do and how they play, and then I try 47 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 1: to make the best decisions that you can in terms 48 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 1: of trying to call the things that'll give you the 49 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 1: most chance for success. Next question would be Nicole Yang 50 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 1: called by Mike Contraca. Hey, Josh, UM, when did you 51 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 1: start seeing NFL offensive um incorporate the jet sleaf or 52 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 1: the jet motion? Um. Probably in the last few years here, UM, 53 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know a specific date or 54 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:56,239 Speaker 1: time for it, obviously, but um, the last so many 55 00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 1: years here people have certainly done it, um you know, 56 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 1: and mix it in there as as part of their system. 57 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 1: UM you know, But who did it first and how 58 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:08,800 Speaker 1: it came about and all the rest it I'm not 59 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 1: sure I could a pinpoint that exactly. What makes it 60 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:19,080 Speaker 1: um difficult to defend? Well if you can, you know, 61 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 1: if you can get it to a guy that has 62 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 1: good running ability, UM, and get him out there around 63 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 1: the edge and give him an opportunity in space, you know, 64 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 1: to make some yards without having a block you know, 65 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:34,399 Speaker 1: eight guys that are pretty good run defenders inside. UM 66 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 1: you know, it gives you an opportunity to to avoid 67 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 1: some of that and UM give you a runner a chance, 68 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 1: you know, with less defenders in front of him to 69 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 1: try to make some yards with the ball in his hands. 70 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 1: Thank you. Next question Mike protra fault by feel Perry afternoon, Josh. 71 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 1: How are you good? How are you, Mike? I'm doing well. 72 00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 1: Curious um and I think you referenced us in your 73 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 1: answer to Heaven. But how good has Tom been over 74 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 1: the years at not forcing something that's not stair even 75 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 1: when the score may not be as productive as you'd 76 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 1: like the points on the board, like the first half 77 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 1: last time. Just curious to get your feel when when 78 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 1: he comes back to the sideline. How much do you 79 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,920 Speaker 1: guys talk back and forth about maybe there's something downfield, 80 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:23,840 Speaker 1: but I just didn't want to force it because it's 81 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,360 Speaker 1: not worth the risk in a in a low scoring game. 82 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:35,239 Speaker 1: I think quarterback play is, you know, in many ways, 83 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 1: entirely about good decision making. You know, I mean the 84 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 1: quarterbacks got really two jobs to take care of the 85 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 1: ball and get the offense into the end zone. And 86 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 1: you know, neither one of those two things going to 87 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:54,600 Speaker 1: happen without good decision making. So I prefer not to 88 00:04:54,720 --> 00:05:01,160 Speaker 1: talk about the negative potential outcomes as much as we 89 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 1: like to keep stressing the good qualities of good decision 90 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 1: making and what those good decisions end up resulting in 91 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 1: m And as long as we all understand, you know, look, 92 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,599 Speaker 1: football is a game of risks. No matter what play 93 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,920 Speaker 1: you call, you know, you you certainly there's a downside 94 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 1: to each play. There's no plays you call and you say, well, 95 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 1: we have no chance of anything bad happening at all. 96 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,480 Speaker 1: You know, you gotta block people, you gotta run, you 97 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 1: gotta have an exchange, you gotta throw it, you gotta 98 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:36,360 Speaker 1: catch it, you gotta you know, blitz pick up, you 99 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 1: gotta you know, get open versus main coverage. There's a 100 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 1: lot of things on every play that have to go right. 101 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,679 Speaker 1: And I have a lot of confidence in our players 102 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 1: because they practice hard and usually whatever we do in 103 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 1: practice has a chance to translate over into the game 104 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 1: and become you know, game reality for us. So you know, 105 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 1: I trust Tom obviously implicitly with the football and making 106 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 1: good decisions. And you know, you can't just because the 107 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,360 Speaker 1: game's a tight game doesn't mean he can't. And you 108 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 1: don't want to do things and give your team an 109 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 1: opportunity to move the ball down the field and and 110 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 1: and score points. I think we kept trying to do 111 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 1: that as the night wore on. We didn't play as 112 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,440 Speaker 1: cleanly or as well as we would have liked, especially 113 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,160 Speaker 1: once we got into the fringe or the red area 114 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 1: last night. But um, I think the guys stayed with 115 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:31,600 Speaker 1: it and and continue to try to execute against a 116 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:35,040 Speaker 1: good team. And you know, Tom made good decisions all night, 117 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,840 Speaker 1: took care of the ball, and you know, and we 118 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 1: come home with a division road win. Thanks Josh. Next, 119 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 1: Christian feel Carey, followed by William Dennison.

Um, you know, they really 128 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 1: handle all that. Um, you know, and we're really busy 129 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 1: obviously focusing on you know, you know, quickly moving from 130 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 1: our game last night against Buffalo into our preparation for 131 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 1: Green Bay, because we're you know, a day short this week, 132 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 1: so we're really into the Green Bay preparation hard, and 133 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 1: that's where our time and focus will be all day 134 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 1: to day and all week this week.

Um, 157 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,320 Speaker 1: it depends on it depends what position the player plays. 158 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 1: Certainly in the position coach take the lead on that. 159 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 1: And you know, our our job, you know, because we 160 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 1: obviously we add new players, you know, whether it's practice, 161 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 1: squad or roster or whatever it is, you know, fairly 162 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 1: frequently throughout the course of the year. So our job 163 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,720 Speaker 1: is to try to begin that for that new process 164 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 1: with that new player. It's not to get him to 165 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:26,320 Speaker 1: you know, know everything that you know, Julian or Tom 166 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 1: knows by the end of this week, you know. So 167 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,200 Speaker 1: you know, we just start the process and if there's 168 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 1: a player that comes in new or we try to, um, 169 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 1: you know, put one foot in front of the next 170 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 1: and try to make progress each day in each meeting 171 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 1: that we have with the player. And um, you know, 172 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 1: if if that players eventually going to play for us 173 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 1: this week or down the road, then whatever that player 174 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,080 Speaker 1: can do to help us, those are the things we're 175 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 1: going to ask of them. And doesn't really make much 176 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 1: sense to ask more than that, you know, because if 177 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 1: we're gonna put him in a position to do something 178 00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 1: you didn't know how to do yet or isn't comfortable doing, 179 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 1: and we'll just put the team at risk. So um, 180 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,599 Speaker 1: you know, fairly simple process. We'll all work hard to 181 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:09,200 Speaker 1: do that. The position coaches especially do a tremendous job 182 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 1: of splitting their time when those things happen. Um, some 183 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,319 Speaker 1: of our younger quality control guys certainly do a great 184 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,199 Speaker 1: job of trying to help us get caught up there. 185 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 1: Jerry and Cole and a Teeth and Nick Kaylee when 186 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:23,200 Speaker 1: he was doing that, and those guys have all spent time, 187 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:25,959 Speaker 1: you know, the extra time with these guys to try 188 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,440 Speaker 1: to get him caught up in terms of our system 189 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,439 Speaker 1: and the terminology and all that. So um, that's actually 190 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 1: a cool part, you know, when you when you have 191 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:35,679 Speaker 1: to do some of those things, because it kind of 192 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 1: takes you back to when you start your foundational teaching, 193 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,079 Speaker 1: you know with rookies and new players, um, you know, 194 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,839 Speaker 1: which we all enjoy doing. So um, you know, it's 195 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 1: just kind of manage your time well when that happens. 196 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 1: And all of us have been through it, all of 197 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:50,839 Speaker 1: us have done in our staff is a great job 198 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,599 Speaker 1: when it occurs, and if it happens again, you know, 199 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:55,920 Speaker 1: at any point in time, we'll look forward to doing 200 00:10:55,960 --> 00:11:01,959 Speaker 1: that with the next guy. And that's great. Thank guy, Josh. Um, 201 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 1: I want to ask you how much of a relief, 202 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 1: for lack of a better word, is having a guy 203 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 1: like James White. Take you back to the third and 204 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 1: seven play on me on your touchdown drive last night, 205 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 1: where you know, it seemed like the other receivers were covered. 206 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,079 Speaker 1: He you know, you can dump and check it down 207 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 1: to him and he makes the other guys miss and 208 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 1: get a big burst down. What is that sort of 209 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 1: a relief as an offensive coordinator, even if the play 210 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 1: doesn't go according to plan, James can sometimes, you know, 211 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:33,559 Speaker 1: bail you out. Um. James is uh, you know, a 212 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:37,199 Speaker 1: very dependable guy, you know, and and uh, whatever it 213 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 1: is we ask of him, we count on him to 214 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,800 Speaker 1: do a lot of things, and he usually does those 215 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,959 Speaker 1: things very well. So, UM, it's good good to have 216 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 1: a lot of guys in your offense that can they 217 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,600 Speaker 1: can be counted on. Um. He's certainly one of them 218 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 1: and made a lot of good place for us last 219 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 1: night and has throughout his career, so, um, you know, 220 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:59,280 Speaker 1: he's he's always been a big contributor to what we're doing, 221 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,880 Speaker 1: and um, you know, he's got a lot of teammates 222 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 1: to try to do the same thing.
