1
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:05,880
Speaker 1: Here we are with head coach Tamiko Ryan's coach. Great

2
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:08,840
Speaker 1: to see him big week with the Colts coming in.

3
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:10,640
Speaker 1: I know we have to review what happened against the

4
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 1: Packers and how do you balance what went wrong in

5
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:15,680
Speaker 1: the game and what went right also, because there were

6
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 1: some good things you want to take with you, but

7
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 1: you got to correct a lot of things as well.

8
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:20,440
Speaker 2: Man, Great to be with you guys again, it was

9
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:22,959
Speaker 2: what you said, Mark, That's what it was like. Every

10
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 2: game for me is a learning opportunity. It's a teaching

11
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 2: opportunity as we go back and review the game. Man, Then,

12
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 2: like you said, there were a ton of positive things,

13
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 2: a ton of big plays made offense, defense, special teams

14
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:36,519
Speaker 2: that I never lose sight of us. I want our

15
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:38,879
Speaker 2: guys to see the impact plays that were made. Our

16
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:42,239
Speaker 2: special teams played outstanding, right, Damien was able to get

17
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:45,839
Speaker 2: an explosive return. Tommy punted the ball really well. I

18
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:49,479
Speaker 2: mean we forced a turnover on special teams, and we

19
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 2: had a couple of punts where we backed them up.

20
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 2: Man Kayemi making the whole of his kicks Like so,

21
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 2: they played out standing for us. They created momentum for

22
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 2: our team and defensively, guys were able to get two takeaways,

23
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:06,319
Speaker 2: get a couple of sacks. Offensively, when we ran the

24
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 2: ball really well, right, ran the ball really well. And

25
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 2: then when we needed a drive to go down and

26
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 2: get points, we got points at the end and give

27
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 2: us a chance right to close the game out. So

28
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,759
Speaker 2: a lot of great things that happened. It didn't end

29
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 2: the way we wanted it to end, but we learned

30
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 2: from that. And I hope our guys take from the

31
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:28,279
Speaker 2: game is, Man, we were in position right and moving

32
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 2: forward like they're in positions again. Hopefully you understand remember

33
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,680
Speaker 2: that moment in Green Bay where we didn't close it out,

34
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 2: and the things you need to change and do different

35
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 2: to put yourself in position and make plays.

36
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 3: Cause you're the.

37
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 4: First five games Henry and Aziz had played every play linebacker.

38
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 4: Now they're not there and you're going there and it's

39
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 4: just different.

40
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 3: It's Neville and it's Jake. How did that go?

41
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 4: Just communication wise, it felt like Neville, there was no

42
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 4: drop off, There was no change. Those guys went out

43
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 4: and make plays. What did you think of the way

44
00:01:57,960 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 4: those two linebackers played yesterday.

45
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 2: Neville was a veteran linebacker and he stepped right in

46
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 2: and like you said, it was no no issues with communication.

47
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:10,359
Speaker 3: He communicated very well. He did his job very well.

48
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,679
Speaker 2: Neville and Jake, both guys had really good weeks of

49
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 2: practice and so that gave me confidence as a coach

50
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 2: going into the game that they were going to be

51
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 2: in the right spots, they were gonna make some plays.

52
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 2: Was it all clean, No, but man for those guys

53
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 2: to step in and play the most that they played

54
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 2: in a long time. Like, I'm very proud of the

55
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 2: way the effort that they gave and even the playmaking

56
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 2: that they made as well.

57
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:34,799
Speaker 1: Plus you get two picks in the game. Neville has

58
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: one callin as the other has three on the season.

59
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: And you had other opportunities as well. I see the

60
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: safeties and the DVS coach practicing those tip drills whatever,

61
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: just launching the ball back there, trying to help them

62
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: catch it. But it's tough sometimes to get the ball

63
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: located properly. Yet you did make some plays.

64
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, you may play.

65
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 2: I mean, as I showed the guys, like when you

66
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 2: see on Kaitlin's interception, Like when the coverage is tight

67
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,639
Speaker 2: and we're playing single high safety and the coverage is

68
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 2: tight and Kayln is roam in the middle of the field,

69
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 2: he can go up and make those plays. Just have

70
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,639
Speaker 2: to force the quarterback right to elevate the throw and

71
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:08,919
Speaker 2: Kaylyn can go make any catch he needs to make.

72
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 2: But it starts with the rush, it starts with the

73
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 2: covers that was tight on Neville's pick.

74
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 3: It just goes back to what I.

75
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 2: Harp on and what I truly believe in is out

76
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 2: executing your opponent. And on Nevill's interception, you have to

77
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 2: watch Jalen Petrie and his technique as a quarter flat

78
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 2: defender on number two like he played with excellent technique,

79
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 2: patience and for him to get his eyes back on

80
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 2: the quarterback and the tip to pass, it was outstanding

81
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 2: play by him and calls Neville to get the interception.

82
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 2: So it's just a reminder for our guys it's always, always,

83
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 2: always truly believe in your technique and execute.

84
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 3: If you execute well, that's when the big plays are made.

85
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 2: It's not when you try to go and do something

86
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 2: out of the scheme or try to make a hero play.

87
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 3: That's not when the big plays happened.

88
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 4: Because we went to New England, we started off really well.

89
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 4: The first quarter, second quarter, we kind of got myired

90
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 4: and some muck this week we go to Green Bay.

91
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 4: First quarter kind of get through it, but then the

92
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 4: second quarter really just kind of took off. And large

93
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 4: part that was Joe and the run game. What was

94
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 4: clicking in the run game up front? Why was it

95
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,359
Speaker 4: really working the way that it was h And again,

96
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 4: how good is it?

97
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 3: Depth?

98
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 2: Joe back man so great, It's so great. It's Joe

99
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:25,119
Speaker 2: oh Man. He's such an impressive players. It's his play style,

100
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 2: his demeanor. It jumps off the tape, man is when

101
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,159
Speaker 2: he touches the ball, you know something positive is gonna happen,

102
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 2: and it starts up front, Like I know our O

103
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 2: line is getting a lot of slack for pass protection. Well,

104
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:38,479
Speaker 2: we ran the ball for I think over one hundred

105
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 2: and forty yards two touchdowns.

106
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,279
Speaker 3: That's because of the O line and the way they blocked.

107
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 2: When we got a hat on the hat and we

108
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 2: were clean schematically, everybody's where they were supposed to be, Like,

109
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,280
Speaker 2: there were a lot of creases for Joe to run through,

110
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 2: and Joe doesn't run the way he runs without the

111
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 2: O line, the tight ends, receivers, everybody blocking and dialed

112
00:04:58,080 --> 00:04:59,599
Speaker 2: in on the details of their job.

113
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 3: That's how Joe is able to have a big day.

114
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,359
Speaker 2: And one of my favorite runs is that things maybe

115
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 2: his first touchdown run you got cased over slicing back

116
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 2: behind a line of scrimmage, and the way he finishes

117
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 2: on one of their d n's, it's a physical block,

118
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 2: physical finish like that gets me fired up.

119
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 4: And before that, the play before that, Teagan takes care

120
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 4: of a linebacker on that play. Your tight ends, those

121
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 4: two in particulars seem to give you some good in

122
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 4: the run game too.

123
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, tight ends, they they've done a great job in

124
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 2: a run game. And you know that's where we have

125
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 2: to keep leaning on those guys. They can keep getting better,

126
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,159
Speaker 2: keep finishing blocks. But they have the tools, they have

127
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 2: what it takes to finish in the run game. We

128
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,040
Speaker 2: just have to stay after it and we have to

129
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 2: just get better in our protection schematically.

130
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: Yes, So what are some of those things, coach that

131
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 1: are bothering you in past protection right now?

132
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, it starts with I think overalls, It starts with communicating, right, communicating,

133
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,599
Speaker 2: And when I say communicating, that's like everybody being on

134
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,840
Speaker 2: the same page with you have these calls, whether you're

135
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,840
Speaker 2: you know you're sliding the one side or you're manning inside, Like,

136
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,919
Speaker 2: know who you're blocking first and foremost, Like that's the

137
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 2: one thing. Know where you're going, know who you're working with,

138
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:10,479
Speaker 2: so you can be on the same page. So it

139
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 2: starts there with our guys being on the same page

140
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,719
Speaker 2: and then just executing right some of the stunts and

141
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 2: games that we've seen, Like we just have to be

142
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 2: better at knowing how far we need to slide to

143
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 2: a side or if we need to set back deeper

144
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 2: in protection.

145
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 3: So punching with two hands versus one hands.

146
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:31,279
Speaker 2: Just some technical things, small things that can definitely be

147
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 2: cleaned up.

148
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:33,600
Speaker 3: So that's why I'm encouraged by.

149
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 2: It's not like, oh, it's something revolutionary that we've never seen.

150
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 3: It's like, no, man, we can clean this up.

151
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,720
Speaker 2: We just have to play with proper technique every single

152
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 2: time and then just executing finish the right way.

153
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: What was the relationship like with you and Bobby and

154
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:49,600
Speaker 1: Jeff Halfley when he was in San Francisco.

155
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, Man, spent a lot of time with Jeff when

156
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 2: I first got in the coach and Jeff was the

157
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 2: secondary coach out in San Francisco, So spent a lot

158
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 2: of time him. Jeff was very men Ibby. We're QC's

159
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:04,839
Speaker 2: at the time. We're both defensive QCs. So Jeff was

160
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 2: a veteran coach, been there a while, and I learned

161
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 2: a lot from Jeff, just on coverage, like the way

162
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 2: he taught DB's press coverage really detailed. Coach, really did

163
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 2: a great job with those guys out there, and he

164
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 2: had the opportunity to go to Boston College as a

165
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 2: head coach.

166
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 3: You're all fired up for.

167
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 4: Him, Coach, I think one of the players that stands

168
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 4: up to me that goes to what you've been saying,

169
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 4: and I would imagine maybe it's something you showed your team,

170
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 4: but it's it's just it's like one moment in time,

171
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 4: that late drive second and twelve where Joe runs at

172
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 4: zone play and Caide comes across and kicks out Preston.

173
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 4: If you get one down block, maybe Joe cuts behind,

174
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 4: and it feels like and that's the run game that

175
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 4: had been pretty successful, but it's like one spot that

176
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 4: really just then you clean that up and maybe Joe

177
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 4: walks in the end zone.

178
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 3: You don't have to kick the field goal, yeah, for sure.

179
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 2: And that's that's the thing I showed you guys, like

180
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 2: just to show you know how we're how close we

181
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 2: are scoring on that. But a lot of people are

182
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 2: giving a lot of criticism about.

183
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 3: The lad well.

184
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 2: If we block it the right way and we are

185
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 2: on one person and we're Joe's cutting that ball back,

186
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 2: he's right down, heel.

187
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 3: Off a shack for a touchdown.

188
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 2: Because that's that's how clean the picture would have been,

189
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 2: and that's how close we are.

190
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 3: So man, I'm encouraged.

191
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 2: I'm fired up for the next opportunity because I know

192
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 2: the plays our guys can make, and I know, of

193
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 2: course we clean up a few things, but I'm excited

194
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 2: about where we're hitting.

195
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: It's play calling. If it works, great, If it doesn't work,

196
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 1: that goes all right. So the Colts come in here,

197
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 1: and it wasn't that long ago. You saw the Colts

198
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 1: on opening Day. Richardson is back with them, he was

199
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 1: out for a while. They're coming off of victory and

200
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 1: this is absolutely huge.

201
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, he couldn't say it any better, right, huge

202
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 2: game for his division opponent, rival game. We know they're

203
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 2: coming in after us, and we're I love that.

204
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 3: You know, you don't want to.

205
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 2: Lose, but I love that our guys are a little

206
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 2: ticked off going into this game, like, man, you got

207
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 2: you know, this game for first place in the division

208
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 2: in our house, like it means everything. So how we

209
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 2: show up? What's our attention to detail? Like we we

210
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:15,079
Speaker 2: can't come back in here next Monday and talk about oh,

211
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 2: if we would have, if we would like, No, we

212
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 2: have to get this done right.

213
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 3: This is the most important game of our season right.

214
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 4: Now, coach, the second game of a division, you know,

215
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 4: playing a team in your division. I think last year

216
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 4: we played the Colts in week what two or something eighteen, right,

217
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 4: and that's a completely different team. Now it's week one

218
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 4: in week eight, it's a little closer. Can you take

219
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 4: a lot out of the first game and try and

220
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 4: carry that forward? I mean, you ran for a lot

221
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 4: and it doesn't mean you're gonna run for a lot

222
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 4: of game. But are there some things that you can

223
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 4: see carry forward or is it kind of the same thing,

224
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 4: like different team after seven weeks.

225
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, there are definitely things I think you carry forward,

226
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 2: like hopefully we can still establish a run. But when

227
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 2: you they know us well, we know them well, so

228
00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:00,960
Speaker 2: of course they'll try to you know, more resources store

229
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 2: stops store, stopping the run. They have to right and

230
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 2: for us defensively, like they threw the ball over our

231
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 2: head a couple of times, so they have to be

232
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 2: looking at that again, like, man, can we get those

233
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 2: same plays again? If not, you have to try them right.

234
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 2: So we have to be ready to defend those plays.

235
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,559
Speaker 2: And of course there'll always be wrinkles. Off of what

236
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 2: you've shown your opponent. You try to ask some wrinkles

237
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,440
Speaker 2: to see if you can hit him another way to

238
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 2: try to get some explosive plays.

239
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: Well, they hope to have Jonathan Taylor back, and you

240
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 1: did a pretty good job against him last time, and

241
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 1: last year did a really good job against Derek Henry.

242
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:35,679
Speaker 1: These are backs in the Texans Division. I know Henry's

243
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 1: gone now, but what's the difference between facing a guy

244
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:40,679
Speaker 1: like Derek Henry and Jonathan Taylor and maybe some of

245
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 1: the other talented backs in the league.

246
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 3: Yeah.

247
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 2: The difference I think with Jonathan Taylor is guy he

248
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 2: can just he can hit it anywhere.

249
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:51,559
Speaker 3: Like his speed, he has that home run type speed.

250
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 2: And Derrick Henry with him, he was more of a

251
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 2: one cut guy, whereas you made him top his feet

252
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,199
Speaker 2: and you had enough guys at the party needs to

253
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 2: take at least three guys to get him down big guy,

254
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 2: but you can make him kind of stop and start,

255
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 2: and you can really finish the play before it gets started.

256
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,679
Speaker 2: With Jonathan Taylor, his contact balance and he could just

257
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 2: take a play front side, cut it all the way

258
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 2: back backside and he has to gas to hit the

259
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,719
Speaker 2: home run. So we know we'll probably get him back

260
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:20,319
Speaker 2: this week. One of their best player, one of the

261
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:24,079
Speaker 2: best running backs in the league. Know he's probably be

262
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 2: chomping at a bit because he didn't have a good

263
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 2: outing versus us the first time. So I know Shane

264
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 2: is gonna want to run the ball whatever, if it's

265
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 2: Jonathan Taylor, if it's Anthony Richardson, he wants to run

266
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 2: the football. So that's going to be our first key

267
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 2: to Victor is stopping the run.

268
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 4: Coach, I know the focus is on the Colts, but

269
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 4: then there's another one with the Jets shortly thereafter, and

270
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 4: I asked that because do you how does that change,

271
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 4: Maybe not the preparation, but just handling guys bodies during

272
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 4: practice and making sure that they can play on a

273
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 4: Sunday and a Thursday and be at their best.

274
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 3: In both of us.

275
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 4: Do you make any adjustments this week for that or

276
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,679
Speaker 4: is that more a next week adjustment for that short week?

277
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 3: For me, it's more of a next week adjustment right now.

278
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 2: This week, man, we're all in on the coats, like

279
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 2: and we'll deal with Thursday. Thursday games, we'll talk about

280
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 2: it's a little more. Just can't do much. It's just

281
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 2: all about rest, recovery, get as much sleep as possible.

282
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 2: Then we'll do a lot of walkthroughs for that game.

283
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 2: But this week, man, it's all in on the coats.

284
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 1: So does the Joe Flacco video I didn't say tape,

285
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 1: I didn't say film. Does that video help you prepare

286
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:27,560
Speaker 1: for this one? Do you look at it much? Because

287
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:29,559
Speaker 1: they're so different Flacco and Anthony Richardson.

288
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, there are completely different guys when it comes to

289
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 2: the quarterback position. But we have to look at that

290
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,560
Speaker 2: because that's for me. I'm looking at Shane and the

291
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 2: play call and just to see, okay, how did it

292
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 2: change when Flaco was in versus Anthony, just to find

293
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 2: those differences. But we have to look at the film

294
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 2: or tape, video, whatever you want to call it. We

295
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 2: have to look at the video versus Flacco and just see, Okay,

296
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 2: are they going to try to do something? I know

297
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 2: they got the ball to downs a lot more their

298
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,200
Speaker 2: slot receiver who is back who we didn't see the

299
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 2: first week, so we'll probably see more uses of him.

300
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:05,680
Speaker 2: And so well, you have to go back and watch

301
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 2: that that video, coach, what's Kayln giving you in the

302
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 2: back end?

303
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 4: We know he's got the interception, so you see the numbers,

304
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 4: But does he I mean and he almost I don't.

305
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 4: I mean he came so close to the other one

306
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 4: to talk of craft, which I mean that was a

307
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 4: fastball from love. But either way, what's he kind of

308
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:24,680
Speaker 4: allowing you to do as the play caller with him

309
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,679
Speaker 4: back there? Is he giving you kind of some different like, Hey,

310
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 4: you know what, because we've got him back there, maybe

311
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 4: against this look, we can do something different because he's

312
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 4: back there, He's got so much more range.

313
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 3: How's he kind of helping that? Yeah?

314
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 2: With Kaylin back there and his just his ball skills,

315
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 2: it allows, I think for our underneath defenders to understand

316
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,680
Speaker 2: they can play it more aggressive. And that's what I

317
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:46,839
Speaker 2: want to see our guys do play even more aggressive

318
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 2: like underneath coverage to force the quarterback have to put

319
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 2: the ball in there and make a tight throw. And

320
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:54,840
Speaker 2: if he tries to make a tight throw and he

321
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 2: elevates it any like, Kaylen has that ability to make

322
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,839
Speaker 2: him pay. So it's a matter of not me per se,

323
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 2: but just when we are playings tighter coverage, like be

324
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,680
Speaker 2: even more aggressive on the lower hip so the ball

325
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 2: can be elevated.

326
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 1: I know you always want to hold the opponent to zero.

327
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 1: But on the defensive line, Coach, you got some good

328
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 1: playmaking up there. You had no Mario obviously for the

329
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 1: first of four games, but Tim Settle another sack for him.

330
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 1: The edge guys doing their thing, You get the Niko's

331
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 1: feet wet. Anyway, get them back into the line of

332
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 1: how about the guys.

333
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 2: Really pleads with the defensive line and you say, Settle.

334
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 2: Settle has been man. He's been growing each and each

335
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 2: and every week. He's getting so much better and his

336
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 2: effect on the game, like he shows up. He does

337
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 2: a really great job. He kind of goes unnoticed when

338
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 2: Will and Neil are getting sacks. Typically has been Settle

339
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 2: in the middle, pressing the pocket right, not li on

340
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 2: the quarterback to step up. And then when his opportunity comes,

341
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 2: he gets to one on one, he has enough wiggle

342
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,359
Speaker 2: in what it takes to finish on the quarterback.

343
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 3: So man very pleased with him.

344
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 2: Impressed with how much better that or he's gotten learning

345
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 2: our scheme and really he's thriving in our scheme and

346
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 2: allowing the guys around him to play better.

347
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 4: Coach getting Denico back, I don't know, I don't know

348
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 4: how many plays he ended up playing yesterday, but he

349
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 4: kind of played like we thought he'd play on the

350
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 4: edge and then he'd step inside and rush. Kind of

351
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 4: what do you see for him going forward? It's the

352
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 4: first time playing against this well former team, one of

353
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 4: the former teams in the AFC South. The coach, what

354
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 4: are your thoughts Onko?

355
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, really happy to have him back.

356
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 2: Is we know it takes time to get back, So

357
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 2: Deniko missed a lot of time not being here, missed

358
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 2: some training camp time as well. Just just goes to

359
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 2: show for everybody you can't just pop up and get

360
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 2: back to where you left out of football if you

361
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 2: have to build it back up. So it's just for

362
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 2: us allowing him that time to build up and get

363
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 2: back to Deniko and his playmaking ability. But please with

364
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 2: a few snaps that he had. He was he was

365
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 2: close a couple of times on the quarterback, and he

366
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 2: knows like man coaches fast out there. Yeah, so yeah,

367
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 2: I think the more time he gets on task, we'll

368
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 2: see him show up and make plays for us.

369
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 1: All Right, We've talked about this from time to time,

370
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 1: but I think this helps everybody listening who has people

371
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 1: reporting to them, who are bosses themselves. And you have

372
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 1: these assistant coaches, and I know you like to have

373
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 1: a relationship with all the players, but you can't possibly

374
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 1: coach every player individually, so you have to coach the coaches.

375
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 3: How does that work?

376
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 1: Coaching your coaches, managing the coaches and letting them do

377
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 1: their thing with the position groups that they coach.

378
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a great question, and it takes a lot

379
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 2: of a lot of trust, a lot of delegating, like

380
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 2: knowing that you know, I try to do it all,

381
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 2: but I can't, like you burn out. So it's just

382
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 2: a lot of I give our coaches a lot of leeway,

383
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 2: a lot of trust in allowing them to coach their

384
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 2: players up the right way. And I see something that

385
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 2: needs to be changed, I go to the coaches first, right,

386
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 2: And that's where the ad is come coaching the coaches

387
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 2: like and I coach the coaches hard to make sure

388
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 2: they coach the players hard. Yes, and that guys know,

389
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 2: we're all in this together. We're all together. Like I

390
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 2: just wanted done correctly. Like it's not a matter of

391
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 2: me having all the answers and knowing everything. I don't

392
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 2: know everything, but man, I just want to get it fixed.

393
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 2: Whatever we got to get fixed, let's get it fixed.

394
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,439
Speaker 2: And you know, for me, when I remember back when

395
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,919
Speaker 2: I was a position coach, it was just always a

396
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,880
Speaker 2: position couch took pride in my group, Like I wanted

397
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 2: to make sure my group was.

398
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 3: The best in the NFL.

399
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 2: And that's how I want our coaches, our position coaches

400
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 2: to feel the same, Like you want to be the best.

401
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:30,639
Speaker 2: You want your group to be the best in the league.

402
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 2: You want to be the best position coach in the league.

403
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:37,639
Speaker 2: Always remind them, like it's only thirty two of these positions,

404
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,160
Speaker 2: whatever position coach, you're only you're one of thirty two.

405
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:42,919
Speaker 2: So it's a privilege and an honor, but it's also

406
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:47,159
Speaker 2: an urgency to make sure your players are playing the

407
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:47,680
Speaker 2: right way.

408
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 3: Coach the.

409
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 4: You talked about it at your press conference about I'm

410
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:54,640
Speaker 4: one of the colts. I'm one of the colts already.

411
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 4: I mean, that's the epitome of the twenty four hour rule.

412
00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,399
Speaker 4: But how long did it take you, as a player

413
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,640
Speaker 4: a coach to really get in that mindset of that

414
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 4: you can really let that one go and then start

415
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 4: going forward to the culture.

416
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 3: It took a time.

417
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 2: It took a long time for me because those losses hurt.

418
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:15,159
Speaker 2: It hurts, man, and what I learned, and it is

419
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 2: sometimes on those losses and you let them linger into

420
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 2: like the Thursday fright now, that affects the next game, right,

421
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 2: and that's what I don't want to happen.

422
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 3: Right And then I'm telling.

423
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 2: You, guys, being in the league for a while now,

424
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:32,160
Speaker 2: I've seen people ride the wave of when you win,

425
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:34,920
Speaker 2: you're the best team, you're the hottest team, and no,

426
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:37,400
Speaker 2: you're moving up the rank since the time, like, yeah,

427
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 2: that means nothing, like and when you lose, oh my goodness,

428
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 2: they stink they're the worst team ever in it.

429
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:45,919
Speaker 3: And it's just that that.

430
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:50,400
Speaker 2: Roller coaster a week to week, whether you win, you lose, win, lose.

431
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:51,359
Speaker 3: Like you're the best, you're the worst.

432
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 2: Best is there's never any and so if you ride

433
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 2: that wave, man, you go crazy.

434
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, pull all my hair out even though it's already gone.

435
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 3: But you cannot. I go crazy trying to ride that way.

436
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 2: So that's forced me of just to say, hey, man,

437
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 2: just stay even kelled, come twenty four hour rule, learn

438
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:11,160
Speaker 2: from it, and move on to the next opponent.

439
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,199
Speaker 1: But we know you want that game day energy with

440
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,880
Speaker 1: your players. You want them to be enthusiastic. There were

441
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 1: some spirited conversations that appeared between the Texans and the Packers.

442
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:21,919
Speaker 1: What about that part of it? You want them to

443
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 1: be intense and into it? But how do you draw

444
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 1: the line there? How do you regulate that?

445
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 3: Coach?

446
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:29,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, for me, I told our guys, it's like you're

447
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,639
Speaker 2: wasting energy, like and I don't like wasted energy, Like

448
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:36,400
Speaker 2: when we're we're chirping after the play or before the game,

449
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 2: we're getting into it with the opponent, Like, how does

450
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:42,439
Speaker 2: that help you? Like, I want all of that energy

451
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 2: that you have to chirp after a play, how about

452
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,640
Speaker 2: putting that into some more energy and effort to finish

453
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 2: a block or to finish on a catch, Like that's

454
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:54,400
Speaker 2: where I want the energy going, Like it's wasted energy.

455
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:58,239
Speaker 2: It has nothing to do with the game, and it

456
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 2: really pulls your focus away from your job. And that's

457
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:04,640
Speaker 2: why I don't like all the bickering and back and forth,

458
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,879
Speaker 2: like I want guys focus on us, and there I

459
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,439
Speaker 2: felt like versus the Packers, I did feel like we

460
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,400
Speaker 2: got a little too chirpy, little too chatty, pushing after

461
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 2: the plays, but.

462
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 3: We weren't doing what we need to do within the play.

463
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 3: And that's where I have a problem.

464
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 4: Cut for the lost time during regular season, two in

465
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:22,919
Speaker 4: a row on the road, those are behind us.

466
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 3: All goodness to be coming back home for Sunday.

467
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,919
Speaker 2: Man, great to be home when we're excited, excited to

468

471
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 2: needed like this game, big game this week. We need

472
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 2: an energy just like when we've been on the road

473
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 2: and you know, Minnesota and in Green Bay their fans

474
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,640
Speaker 2: have affected the game by being loud on third down

475
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 2: and causing you know, communication issues for us. So Houston,

476
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:56,200
Speaker 2: can we get some loud no us in third down

477
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 2: to affect.

Speaker 2: So many Washington, Yeah, Washington, definitely Washington over to that

486
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 2: game there for him to close it out.

487
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 3: Of course, Courtland Finnegan, even the coach says it, Yeah,

488
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 3: that one always thinks out. Sometimes you just gotta let

489
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 3: him know.

490
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 2: But man, Dres just so many special mind just just

491
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 2: sitting on the sideline and just watching him perform, like

492
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:45,639
Speaker 2: game after game when no no slight to end in

493
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 2: my former teammates, but when Dre was the best person

494
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 2: on the field, the best receiver, and everybody knew the

495
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 2: ball was going to him, and Dre is like triple

496
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 2: covered and we're still throwing the ball to him and

497
00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:59,440
Speaker 2: he still comes down with the ball time.

498
00:21:59,240 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 3: And time again.

499
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:03,400
Speaker 2: And it's just one of the best players I've ever

500
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 2: had the chance to play with. And I'm so happy

501
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:11,400
Speaker 2: for him in his Hall of Fame status. Now he's

502
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,360
Speaker 2: definitely like and uh, he's definitely big.

503
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 3: Time right and he deserves it.

504
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 2: Man, Just why in another moment for Dre for me

505
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:20,920
Speaker 2: is like as a young player coming into the league,

506
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:25,199
Speaker 2: like watching how guys practiced, Like for me, watching how

507
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:28,919
Speaker 2: Andre practiced, like he practiced so hard and I hardly

508
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,880
Speaker 2: ever seen him drop a football in practice. And that's

509
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 2: one thing that stood out to me, Like he practiced

510
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:37,160
Speaker 2: that way, and it showed up on Sunday that way.

511
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 2: So it was it was a pleasure of being his teammate,

512
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 2: being his friend, and just seeing the effect that he

513
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:46,400
Speaker 2: had on the.

514
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:50,000

515
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:51,520

516
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 1: Spot for us.

517
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:54,120
Speaker 3: We got
