Just a very very 10 00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:39,160 Speaker 2: worthy and good opponent eleven and three team obviously fighting 11 00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:41,640 Speaker 2: for the number one seed, so but we're fighting for 12 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,440 Speaker 2: what we're fighting for as well. So the opportunity to 13 00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:49,280 Speaker 2: play a very meaningful game late in December is is 14 00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,280 Speaker 2: well earned in this league. So we're ready and we'll 15 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:57,320 Speaker 2: be preparing all week for that challenge. We questions you have, John, 16 00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:00,160 Speaker 2: Do you have an update with Teddy Beganan, Yeah, he 17 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:01,440 Speaker 2: is an a c L. He'll be out for the 18 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 2: rest of the year. 19 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 3: Teddy is someone who has improved a lot of from 20 00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:14,679 Speaker 3: just bringing him now playing roughly seventy or snaps the league. 21 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:16,959 Speaker 4: How do you feel the way as part of what 22 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:17,600 Speaker 4: he was able to do. 23 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:20,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, Teddy did a great job, you know, just to 24 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 2: see his progress, you know, see him grow as a player. Uh, 25 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,560 Speaker 2: defense and special teams has just been really fun. I mean, 26 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,400 Speaker 2: nobody's into it more than he is. You know, he's uh, 27 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 2: he's just great and he's going to be back next year, 28 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 2: should be back hopefully for training camp, ready to go 29 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:37,480 Speaker 2: and ready to kind of build on what he's done. 30 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:41,639 Speaker 2: So Uh, it's an unfortunate disappointing. It will be ah 31 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 2: be part of his story you know going forward obviously, 32 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 2: but uh, you know, Trent Simpson will take that role. 33 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 2: Trent had a really good game, played well, has been 34 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,000 Speaker 2: practicing great, and every time he's been playing, he's been 35 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 2: playing well too. So expect you know, Trent to come 36 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 2: in there and just build on what what Teddy's been doing, 37 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 2: you know, so far, and also what Trent's been doing, 38 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 2: what have you. 39 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 3: Seen from training in terms of you know, improvements and 40 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 3: progress and so forth to kind of step back into 41 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,919 Speaker 3: that role. And secondly, how much does you know, you know, 42 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:14,639 Speaker 3: move Kyle Hamilton around help as well? 43 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it doesn't really affect Kyle. It's Trent 44 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 2: plays a will linebacker spot in certain personnel groups. And 45 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:22,799 Speaker 2: I think he's done really well. You know, like I said, 46 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 2: he's played, he's played great. He played good against the run, 47 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 2: played good against the pass, the reps he's had, you know, 48 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 2: really not worried about it at all, John. 49 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 5: Just from a bigger picture scale for Darius Washington to 50 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 5: get back instead of months when the Gillie's there play 51 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,080 Speaker 5: in a huge game that you guys needed to win. 52 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 5: How did you think he came through? And I think 53 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 5: he played about fifties and apps and how meaningful was 54 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 5: it he even c you Mayer hit there knowing how 55 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 5: much he cares. 56 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:58,239 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's actually right, absolutely how I saw. I was 57 00:02:58,280 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 2: excited for him. He and I had a conversation on 58 00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 2: the sideline sometime in the third quarter just about that 59 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 2: very thing, you know, and how meaningful and how cool 60 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:08,639 Speaker 2: it was that he was out there playing and he's 61 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:10,800 Speaker 2: playing really well and flying around making tackles, you know, 62 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 2: doing what Ad does. I just always have loved the 63 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 2: way he plays. So it's a big boost for us. 64 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,519 Speaker 2: You know, it gives us another playmaker on defense, another 65 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,520 Speaker 2: high energy guy. I fly around and do what he does. 66 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 6: There was a lot made about read visiting the facility 67 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 6: last week. I don't know how much inspiration he provided. 68 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 6: I think it was after each book Marlin had said 69 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 6: something about Ed commented on the junk food and the 70 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 6: meeting rooms or something like that. I thought you had 71 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 6: changed the whole health kick around here. 72 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 2: Is that a question or what? I'm please? You know, 73 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 2: elaborate on the question too, about with the junk food. 74 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 2: And I have no idea what you're talking about. I 75 00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 2: have no idea what you're talking about. There's there's snacks 76 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 2: around here and there. I mean, yeah, whatever you got junk, 77 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 2: you got snacks in your in your house. Yeah. 78 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 6: I don't play in the NFL. 79 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 3: I have a lot of junk for a lot. 80 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 2: And I can tell I jumped too. I just Snickers 81 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 2: bar today already. It was great post lunch, like a 82 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 2: dessert kind of. It was amazing. 83 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,160 Speaker 6: It's just something that stuck out afterwards about the impact 84 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,039 Speaker 6: that that had had colding the meeting rooms and stuff. 85 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 6: And that's that didn't cut your attention? 86 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 2: I did not. 87 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 3: What what did What do you think late you know whatever? 88 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 3: Twenty four hours now removed from that game, What do 89 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 3: you think of the impact of it being here and 90 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:41,160 Speaker 3: just having a guy like. 91 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 7: That I talk to these guys, Yeah. 92 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, probably, I mean no, probably direct correlation, you know, 93 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 2: just just another adding to the kind of the chemistry 94 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 2: kind of you know, it's a it's a reinforcement probably 95 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 2: more than anything. It's you know, he guys did guys 96 00:04:58,040 --> 00:04:59,919 Speaker 2: watch We watch tape of that a lot, you know, 97 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 2: and all those guys. You know, it's kind of something 98 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 2: that Zach leans into and from a tradition standpoint, and 99 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,040 Speaker 2: it's really the system hasn't changed. It's the same same 100 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 2: basic system. Of course, you know, everything evolves, but you'll 101 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 2: see those guys running a lot of the same defensive 102 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:14,719 Speaker 2: calls that the guys are running now. You know. So 103 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 2: you get a chance to watch Ed do it, or 104 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:20,040 Speaker 2: or all Ray do it, you know, Hellodi and Jared Johnson. 105 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 2: You know, you get a chance to watch all those 106 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 2: all those great players do what they do thro all 107 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 2: Suggs man, you just keep naming them, you know. It's 108 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,159 Speaker 2: it's just incredible. So for ready to come back and 109 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 2: for those guys to get a chance to talk to him, 110 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:32,160 Speaker 2: I saw him. The thing I loved about it more 111 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,159 Speaker 2: than anything, I think the talks were great, But the 112 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:36,880 Speaker 2: one on ones I saw him on the sideline during 113 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 2: practice one on wan ing with numerous guys. You know, 114 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 2: Malachi was over there just soaking it in. I'm sure 115 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 2: he had a bunch of great questions. You know. That's 116 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 2: probably the coolest part of it and probably really truly 117 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 2: the most impactful part of it. I would say it's. 118 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 4: Relating to that. 119 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 8: You know, Draymond really I mean, obviously average in the game, 120 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 8: it really seemed to bring lot of attitude to the field, 121 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 8: you know, going back and forth of the bangs a 122 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 8: little bit. 123 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 2: What kind of factor do. 124 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,280 Speaker 8: You think he can bring in sort of the nastiness 125 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:12,040 Speaker 8: of his defense. 126 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,479 Speaker 2: I think he's a really good player physical, Uh you know, 127 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 2: you get him on the edge in the pass rush 128 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 2: like that. Uh, that was that was help to us too, 129 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 2: you know. Uh. T Rob coming in was I think 130 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,160 Speaker 2: had a big impact on that because he was able 131 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 2: to go inside, so he hit both those guys out 132 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,280 Speaker 2: there at the same time number of times too heavy 133 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 2: handed pass rushers. That's the biggest impact. I mean, our 134 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 2: defensive personality has always been what it is, so he 135 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 2: fits it really well. It's kind of why we wanted him. 136 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 2: You know, that's why we were excited. One of the 137 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 2: reasons we're excited to have him. But he's a he's 138 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 2: a good football player. You know, he plays really hard 139 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,560 Speaker 2: and tough and and uh he's got good balance and 140 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 2: you know, when he's rushing Stan, his feet give give 141 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:51,920 Speaker 2: you the best chance to wrap up a quarterback like 142 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,599 Speaker 2: Burrow who's tough to get down. The fact that he 143 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:56,719 Speaker 2: didn't really have too many He had one play where 144 00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 2: he got out and you know, hit hit Chase on 145 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 2: the crosser. It was a simulated pressure that we had. 146 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:03,280 Speaker 2: We probably should have kept him in there on that one, 147 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 2: you know, but when guys can stay on their feet 148 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 2: and like t Rob, you know, when he got the 149 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 2: free runner, you know, he didn't miss it, he made it. 150 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,680 Speaker 2: Those are the plays that really ended up being the difference, 151 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 2: you know, I think in getting quarterback pressures and sacks 152 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 2: and things like that. 153 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 6: I apologize that this was broad yesterday, but a lot 154 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 6: it was mentioned by Marlon and others. 155 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 2: Did the Friday practice. 156 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 6: Was more intense than usually. 157 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 7: He was sore than usual. 158 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 3: Is that true? 159 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 1: Is that a. 160 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:31,239 Speaker 2: Conscious eye it's true? Or now? We practiced great every 161 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 2: we had our best. We had our most efficient practice, 162 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 2: probably three practices last week. I told the guys that 163 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 2: I thought they were the three best practices we had 164 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 2: it toil them on Saturday morning. No, no, no, no, no, no. 165 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 2: We practiced hard all the time. That's how we do it. 166 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 4: You're going to be focused on preparation with the Patriots night, 167 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 4: with the Steelers playing also tonight, and much attention. 168 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:55,360 Speaker 2: To go to that game. 169 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 4: While you're looking at the Patriots. 170 00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 2: Of course, of course, you know, looking at with great 171 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 2: interest of course, where you have to you know, it's 172 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 2: uh uh, it's it's part of the fun of this 173 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 2: whole thing, you know. It's it's it's exciting to watch 174 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 2: these games. You know. It's a bottom line is we 175 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 2: got to take care of our business. You know, we 176 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 2: understand that. So that sitting there on pins of needles, 177 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 2: you know, you just assume that you got to take 178 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 2: care of your business. It would be it would be 179 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 2: a stretch for us not to have to win out. 180 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 2: So we'll plan on that and that's what we're gonna 181 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 2: have to try to do. John, you have an update 182 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 2: on the cheetos, but uh yeah, well no more. As 183 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 2: a week goes on, it's not not like a It's 184 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 2: not like a blizz frank or anything like that. Uh 185 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 2: just got did you see the play if you see it, 186 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 2: if you see it, and maybe you'll see it on TV. 187 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:43,560 Speaker 2: But he was covering that steam route by Gasiki and 188 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 2: uh did a great job on the play. But uh, 189 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 2: then he's finishing up, you guys, foot caught in that 190 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:50,320 Speaker 2: in the netting. It was kind of laying on the 191 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 2: ground underneath it, you know, the field goal back back netting, 192 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 2: so got caught up in that. It kind of kind 193 00:08:57,800 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 2: of grabs his foot a little bit. So we'll see 194 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 2: how it goes as the week goes on. 195 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 3: I'm certain some of it is just kind of like 196 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 3: the way the game played down and such. But you 197 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 3: guys have talked about and I guess you were efficient 198 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 3: when you look at the yard of the play only 199 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:17,679 Speaker 3: the forty one offensive plays yesterday, and I think you 200 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:19,840 Speaker 3: guys are averaging fifty seven for the year. What would 201 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 3: you like to see to just get more plays offensively 202 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:25,040 Speaker 3: from week to week. 203 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,080 Speaker 2: Well, you got to you know, convert on third down 204 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 2: and the stay in the field. You got to not 205 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 2: turn the ball over, stand in the field. Sten drives 206 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 2: things like that. Uh, that's that's really the bottom line. 207 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,079 Speaker 2: You know, we've had we've we've taken ourselves. We took 208 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,959 Speaker 2: ourselves off the field more than anything probably, But you know, 209 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 2: they made a couple of nice plays. They had a 210 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 2: we had a really nice little play action lined up there, 211 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,719 Speaker 2: uh fifty yard line in like the third quarter and 212 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,079 Speaker 2: double move after we'd run the ball really well and 213 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:54,960 Speaker 2: they just covered it really well, I mean, and then 214 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 2: they got pressure on us, you know, they they just 215 00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:59,080 Speaker 2: had a couple of really good rushes right at that time. 216 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,320 Speaker 2: Then we took a sat and then we're trying to 217 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:02,959 Speaker 2: really really trying to push it back and get the 218 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:04,600 Speaker 2: first time getting the field goal range and end up 219 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,960 Speaker 2: taking getting two more sacks because you know, we're trying 220 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 2: to make a play there. So you know, you're really 221 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 2: not you want Lamar to be aggressive there and try 222 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,760 Speaker 2: to find a way because he can do it. In 223 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:15,440 Speaker 2: the worst case series you have to punt. So but 224 00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,959 Speaker 2: that got us off the field, for instance. So it's 225 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 2: just those kinds of things. We had a boot, we 226 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:21,920 Speaker 2: were running the ball well, we had a boot boot 227 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 2: to the second play of a drive in the first 228 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 2: quarter that just you know, he ran right up field 229 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:27,560 Speaker 2: on it. You know, it made a great play. So 230 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 2: those are the things that just you get behind the change. 231 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 2: I think the marshat yesterday, you know he calls a 232 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:35,080 Speaker 2: GBO t or get back on track. Those are long 233 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 2: yards when you're behind the change type of situations, and 234 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:41,720 Speaker 2: those are the ones that really have caused us trouble, 235 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:43,400 Speaker 2: you know, and like any team, like any offense, so 236 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 2: you try to stay out of those as much as 237 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 2: you can. But you want to be aggressive with the 238 00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 2: play action, the boots and things like that when you're 239 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,199 Speaker 2: running the ball. So I'd like us to just be 240 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:53,760 Speaker 2: you know, find a way to stay in the field more. 241 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 2: I mean part of that is the defense scores in 242 00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 2: the fourth quarter, you know, for just being honest about it, 243 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 2: the defense scores and back in the field, and those 244 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 2: were those were those a book that was bookended by 245 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,840 Speaker 2: two long Bengals drives. You know, they had the long 246 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 2: drive all the way down to the red zone, we 247 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 2: get to touchdown on defense. Then they decided that they're 248 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 2: going to try to run the game out at that 249 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,679 Speaker 2: point instead of going two minutes or anything like that, 250 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,080 Speaker 2: and it had another kind of long drive, you know, 251 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,600 Speaker 2: So then we got them stopped on fourth down, so 252 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 2: that offense was not even on the field fourth down 253 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,920 Speaker 2: except for basically two plays. We got the first down, 254 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 2: then it was victory. That was our fourth quarter. So 255 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,400 Speaker 2: uh but still, you know, maybe what it would have 256 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 2: been fifty to fifty five plays if it had been normal, 257 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,000 Speaker 2: you still want more than that. So it just comes 258 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 2: down to us keep extending the drives and and just 259 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,440 Speaker 2: execute just as well as we can score as many 260 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 2: points as we can. John will play Lamar ex backed 261 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 2: into the play that led. 262 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,960 Speaker 8: Through the Ragini touchdown pass, and it really very as well. 263 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 8: Is that assign to you that Sperverrghini's confidence of the 264 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:03,880 Speaker 8: last scream engine, you know, really the same with him 265 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:07,560 Speaker 8: and the offense is is just looking better Evercingly. 266 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't look for signs that way. It's not 267 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 2: where I think about it, honestly. I mean I was 268 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,199 Speaker 2: I think I always I just were always chasing those 269 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,079 Speaker 2: kind of plays, you know, And I think we had 270 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,160 Speaker 2: twenty five percent of our You mentioned the low number 271 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,080 Speaker 2: of plays, but twenty five percent of the more explosives, 272 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:25,719 Speaker 2: you know, that's pretty amazing. Uh So that was one 273 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 2: of them, you know, and we we were we did 274 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,720 Speaker 2: have some big runs and some big passes some you know, 275 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:33,480 Speaker 2: Zay made crazy catch in the two minute drive, Mark 276 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 2: me another crazy catch in the two minute drive. I mean, 277 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 2: those are the things we're capable of. So more than anything, 278 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:40,440 Speaker 2: to me, it's just going to kind of keep extending. 279 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,800 Speaker 2: So the big plays probably another reason why maybe, But 280 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:45,200 Speaker 2: you don't want to have to be an offense it 281 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 2: has to go, you know, three yards and a cloud 282 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:48,800 Speaker 2: of dust all the way down the field. Either you 283 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,200 Speaker 2: have to make big plays to do it. We just 284 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 2: I'd like to just be able to extend drives, you know, 285 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 2: as much as anything. That's really the biggest thing. 286 00:12:54,960 --> 00:13:00,079 Speaker 9: So John along the fire. I know it's like the 287 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:01,959 Speaker 9: last year it wasn't a big part of your. 288 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 2: Game, man, But the r P O that Lamar hit 289 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,440 Speaker 2: he hot you guys, just like just. 290 00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,480 Speaker 4: The emphasized RPOs in general from last year. 291 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 2: This year we have not. We have not. We've we've 292 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:19,840 Speaker 2: been running turn and Runnie get out of the game, okay, 293 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:23,240 Speaker 2: I know, yeah, he will see. He got sore. He's 294 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:24,839 Speaker 2: sore like a lot of guys. Man. You know, you 295 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:28,000 Speaker 2: hear three three weeks lefters, different little things. You know. 296 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:29,760 Speaker 2: He's another guy that we'll be looking at the course 297 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:31,559 Speaker 2: of the week. See where it's at. 298 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 4: You already said the Patriots are very worthy opponent when 299 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,080 Speaker 4: you start to look at Drake May and the problems 300 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:41,000 Speaker 4: that he presents. 301 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 2: One of the tough things littlest big plays, I think 302 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:47,720 Speaker 2: is the biggest thing. When you look at their offense, 303 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,600 Speaker 2: you know they've just had a bunch of big plays. 304 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:52,959 Speaker 2: I mean, run, big runs. Got a rookie running back 305 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,400 Speaker 2: that's you know, fast and explosive, but you better have 306 00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:58,719 Speaker 2: your angle set up on him, and you know they're 307 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,480 Speaker 2: physical obviously. Then you know, May's made some nice throws 308 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:03,560 Speaker 2: and he runs. You know sometimes he runs around, but 309 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 2: he's made some big throws and play actions and things 310 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:09,320 Speaker 2: like that. So kind of a big playoffense that can 311 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 2: run the ball, you know, that's that's a combination that 312 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 2: you have to be concerned about. 313 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,160 Speaker 6: See if you're gonna end up playing now, I mean 314 00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 6: it's forecasting, but three night games. Have you commented on 315 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:25,080 Speaker 6: the fact that you're playing at night in Green Bay? 316 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 6: Just played in the coldest game in Raven's history. But 317 00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:29,880 Speaker 6: that might pass that, I guess in a couple of weeks. 318 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 6: But coming up with Sunday night, then you're at Green 319 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,040 Speaker 6: Bay and then if things go right, that that game 320 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:38,000 Speaker 6: also has the potential bad the season at night. 321 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:43,800 Speaker 2: M h Have you thought about that? Not really. Whenever 322 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 2: we play, will be there, you know, we play when 323 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 2: they tell us. Our guys like playing at night, you know, 324 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:52,200 Speaker 2: looking forward to whatever, whatever. Whenever they tell us to play, 325 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:56,359 Speaker 2: we'll be ready to go. We're excited about it. 326 00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:56,600 Speaker 8: I was. 327 00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 2: I mean, I'm I'm surprised. He was the coldest game 328 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:00,720 Speaker 2: ever is. I thought the green Bay game, what year 329 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 2: was it when we played up there? I'm thinking that 330 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 2: one later seventeen that was cold. I remember that was 331 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 2: really cold. And then the Denver game, I mean that 332 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:17,440 Speaker 2: was man.

They were they were locked into the game. 361 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,600 Speaker 2: It was business. They were having fun. They were flying around, 362 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 2: they were hitting people, they were blocking people, they were 363 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:38,320 Speaker 2: running the ball hard. You know, I liked what I saw, 364 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 2: you know, and I like the way we're playing. I 365 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 2: love our guys.

They DON'TY don't really care about the you know, 370 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 2: the silly the silly things that people worry about. They 371 00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:55,800 Speaker 2: they get locked in on what they have to do, 372 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:57,640 Speaker 2: and they play their best football that they're capable of 373 00:16:57,640 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 2: playing that day, you know. And and it's you know, 374 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:04,480 Speaker 2: you know, you chase perfection. We say perfection is attainable. 375 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:06,600 Speaker 2: You know, you can say it. Read your Bible says 376 00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:08,880 Speaker 2: you can be perfect. You know, in any given circumstance, 377 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:10,919 Speaker 2: we could run the perfect play. And you know what, 378 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,200 Speaker 2: there was one play out there, that flip sweep over 379 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:16,359 Speaker 2: to the right to Derrick Henry.

I mean, it was a beautiful play. So 382 00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:24,960 Speaker 2: so you can't achieve perfection, you know, so you might 383 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,280 Speaker 2: as well chase it.
