WEBVTT - Press Pass: Jim Schwartz

0:00:09.240 --> 0:00:10.720
<v Speaker 1>Did you know I was coming in from the left?

0:00:11.000 --> 0:00:15.680
<v Speaker 1>Oh god, yeah, Pat scouting report, it's change up. It's

0:00:15.800 --> 0:00:21.240
<v Speaker 1>change up, but only a change up. M heavy blitz

0:00:21.520 --> 0:00:23.720
<v Speaker 1>something you typically didn't always do. But was it it's

0:00:23.760 --> 0:00:27.720
<v Speaker 1>just game related? Yeah, you know, if the game is different. Honestly,

0:00:28.240 --> 0:00:30.240
<v Speaker 1>it didn't matter what I was calling in that game.

0:00:31.040 --> 0:00:34.120
<v Speaker 1>You know, the guys were playing at a different tempo. Um.

0:00:34.159 --> 0:00:37.800
<v Speaker 1>You know, they were um, you know, it's a prideful bunch.

0:00:38.120 --> 0:00:41.639
<v Speaker 1>They wanted to put the performance from Washington behind them.

0:00:41.680 --> 0:00:45.519
<v Speaker 1>I think they did, and it was easy to call

0:00:45.600 --> 0:00:48.800
<v Speaker 1>the game because you know, they were execute and just

0:00:48.840 --> 0:00:51.159
<v Speaker 1>about everything well, and they were doing it with with

0:00:51.200 --> 0:00:52.760
<v Speaker 1>a lot of toughness and a lot of effort and

0:00:52.760 --> 0:00:56.200
<v Speaker 1>a lot of spirit. Was different or was it really

0:00:56.240 --> 0:00:58.760
<v Speaker 1>game day that you could tell if they were at

0:00:58.760 --> 0:01:01.760
<v Speaker 1>a different level. Yeah, you know, you always wait until

0:01:01.760 --> 0:01:04.080
<v Speaker 1>the game. I mean, but but I think you you

0:01:04.200 --> 0:01:05.959
<v Speaker 1>go with we have some veteran players, and we have

0:01:06.000 --> 0:01:10.080
<v Speaker 1>a prideful bunch, and you know, it's sixteen game season.

0:01:10.120 --> 0:01:12.479
<v Speaker 1>You're not always at your best. But I think everybody

0:01:13.040 --> 0:01:17.480
<v Speaker 1>felt the responsibility, from coaches down to players that we

0:01:17.520 --> 0:01:21.360
<v Speaker 1>could perform better. And I think everybody everybody played their

0:01:21.400 --> 0:01:23.240
<v Speaker 1>part in finding a way during the week to make

0:01:23.280 --> 0:01:30.240
<v Speaker 1>sure that it happened on Sunday. Well, you know, I

0:01:30.240 --> 0:01:33.199
<v Speaker 1>mean anytime you have a player, you know, go out,

0:01:33.720 --> 0:01:35.720
<v Speaker 1>it juggles your line up a little bit. And Ron

0:01:35.760 --> 0:01:38.840
<v Speaker 1>had also been playing some outside corner for us too. Um,

0:01:39.480 --> 0:01:41.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, a lot of the other guys have been playing.

0:01:41.560 --> 0:01:44.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean, hopefully we can keep Leotis back on the field.

0:01:44.520 --> 0:01:46.720
<v Speaker 1>That'll go a long way to alleviating some of that,

0:01:46.760 --> 0:01:49.480
<v Speaker 1>because we've been playing without him for a month. Um,

0:01:49.760 --> 0:01:51.880
<v Speaker 1>a lot of different ways to handle the slot. You know,

0:01:51.880 --> 0:01:55.080
<v Speaker 1>we'll probably have you know, maybe three or four different

0:01:55.120 --> 0:01:57.440
<v Speaker 1>ways to be able to do it, um, depending on

0:01:57.520 --> 0:02:01.280
<v Speaker 1>the package. You know, it's it's probably a work in

0:02:01.320 --> 0:02:09.000
<v Speaker 1>progress right now. What you want, Oh, well, I mean

0:02:09.080 --> 0:02:11.320
<v Speaker 1>we have a lot of different personnel packages that we

0:02:11.440 --> 0:02:15.919
<v Speaker 1>use that are all contingent on matchups and down in

0:02:16.040 --> 0:02:21.680
<v Speaker 1>distance and offensive personnel. So I think that'll continue. Happy

0:02:21.720 --> 0:02:24.760
<v Speaker 1>Malcolm in that role, Um, yeah, stepped in and did

0:02:24.760 --> 0:02:28.320
<v Speaker 1>a nice job on on Sunday to finish that game.

0:02:28.560 --> 0:02:30.440
<v Speaker 1>You know, after we went down. He's a good blitzer,

0:02:30.639 --> 0:02:33.200
<v Speaker 1>he's a good run player. Um, you know, he's got

0:02:33.240 --> 0:02:36.440
<v Speaker 1>some multidimensional skills. He's physical in there. You know, not

0:02:36.480 --> 0:02:39.160
<v Speaker 1>every matchup is is going to be ideal, but he

0:02:39.600 --> 0:02:44.120
<v Speaker 1>plays to his strengths. And you came here first, first

0:02:44.160 --> 0:02:47.600
<v Speaker 1>started watching film with Jordan Hicks. Uh. You know, obviously

0:02:47.600 --> 0:02:50.040
<v Speaker 1>he did it in a little bit in college. But

0:02:50.160 --> 0:02:51.960
<v Speaker 1>what made you think that he'd be a good middle

0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:55.840
<v Speaker 1>linebacker for for you in the scheme? Um, I don't know.

0:02:55.840 --> 0:02:57.639
<v Speaker 1>He's he's a smart player who knows his way to

0:02:57.720 --> 0:03:01.160
<v Speaker 1>the ballo and execute the scheme. Um, Jordan played one

0:03:01.160 --> 0:03:03.000
<v Speaker 1>of the best games I've seen all year. I mean,

0:03:03.040 --> 0:03:05.640
<v Speaker 1>he played at a different level in this game was um,

0:03:05.880 --> 0:03:09.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, covering, tackling in the open field. His tackle

0:03:09.080 --> 0:03:11.880
<v Speaker 1>for a loss on that one toss play was a big,

0:03:11.919 --> 0:03:15.240
<v Speaker 1>big play in the game. You know, he was all

0:03:15.280 --> 0:03:16.840
<v Speaker 1>over the place and he was putting us in the

0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:19.160
<v Speaker 1>right calls too. There's a lot on the middle linebacker

0:03:19.680 --> 0:03:21.920
<v Speaker 1>and there's nothing that we've thrown at him that he

0:03:21.960 --> 0:03:24.720
<v Speaker 1>hasn't been able to handle. Over the last couple of years.

0:03:25.040 --> 0:03:28.799
<v Speaker 1>You're number eleven. Colt Beasley has created so many problems.

0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:31.760
<v Speaker 1>What do they do to get him so open? Well,

0:03:31.800 --> 0:03:34.160
<v Speaker 1>he's quick as can be, you know, Meryl. He's not

0:03:34.240 --> 0:03:37.240
<v Speaker 1>much taller than you. Um, you might even be able

0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:43.440
<v Speaker 1>to look down on him, but he might outquick. You M.

0:03:44.320 --> 0:03:47.040
<v Speaker 1>He's he's he's got a lot of respect from you know,

0:03:47.120 --> 0:03:50.480
<v Speaker 1>not just our team, but from teams around the NFL. UM.

0:03:50.720 --> 0:03:54.120
<v Speaker 1>He's their leading receiver, he's their leading third down receiver.

0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:58.440
<v Speaker 1>He finds a way to get open. He's he's he's

0:03:58.440 --> 0:04:02.280
<v Speaker 1>slippery in there, he's very very quick, and you know,

0:04:02.280 --> 0:04:04.640
<v Speaker 1>they do a good job scheming to get him open.

0:04:04.920 --> 0:04:08.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he's good run after the catch. Also, he's

0:04:08.040 --> 0:04:11.480
<v Speaker 1>not just a novelty player. He's not just a you know,

0:04:11.560 --> 0:04:14.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't will say a specialty player for them. He's

0:04:14.920 --> 0:04:17.200
<v Speaker 1>a major part of their success. And we're going to

0:04:17.279 --> 0:04:19.719
<v Speaker 1>have to do a great job, particularly on third downs,

0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:23.240
<v Speaker 1>to keep the change from moving. Does Whitten's presence on

0:04:23.279 --> 0:04:25.640
<v Speaker 1>the field effect you're thinking about how you're going to

0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:28.440
<v Speaker 1>do your your sub packages. I mean, he's he's a

0:04:28.480 --> 0:04:30.479
<v Speaker 1>different kind of guy. Yeah, he's a Hall of famer.

0:04:31.120 --> 0:04:33.360
<v Speaker 1>Um that's been doing it for a long time. And

0:04:33.440 --> 0:04:35.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, talked a little bit about Beasley running those

0:04:35.560 --> 0:04:39.400
<v Speaker 1>option routes. I don't know, there might not be a

0:04:39.440 --> 0:04:43.360
<v Speaker 1>better option runner in the history of of tight ends,

0:04:43.440 --> 0:04:45.800
<v Speaker 1>tight ends have been different. Tony Gonzalez was a down

0:04:45.880 --> 0:04:48.599
<v Speaker 1>the field guy, and you know Sharp and you know,

0:04:48.600 --> 0:04:50.800
<v Speaker 1>those guys were sort of wide receiver type guys. But

0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:54.120
<v Speaker 1>Witten is a great blocker, and he is really a

0:04:54.200 --> 0:04:56.719
<v Speaker 1>tough matchup when it comes to option routes. He's very strong,

0:04:56.760 --> 0:05:00.960
<v Speaker 1>he's incredibly durable. Yeah, it's not just Beasley. They can

0:05:01.000 --> 0:05:02.520
<v Speaker 1>spread you a lot of different ways. And oh, by

0:05:02.520 --> 0:05:05.800
<v Speaker 1>the way, number eighty eights back too, and oh, by

0:05:05.839 --> 0:05:09.200
<v Speaker 1>the way, they're leading the NFL and rushing um with

0:05:09.320 --> 0:05:12.960
<v Speaker 1>the NFL's leading rusher. So you know, after a little while,

0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:15.440
<v Speaker 1>it's um, you know, it's it's hard to cover all

0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:18.440
<v Speaker 1>those guys. It's hard to scheme all those guys out.

0:05:18.440 --> 0:05:21.160
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna have to win some individual matchups. But he's

0:05:21.160 --> 0:05:23.520
<v Speaker 1>got great size, he's got great instincts. He knows how

0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:25.400
<v Speaker 1>to get open. He's been doing it for a long time.

0:05:25.680 --> 0:05:27.600
<v Speaker 1>There's nothing you're going to throw out him coverage wise

0:05:27.680 --> 0:05:30.320
<v Speaker 1>that he hasn't seen, you know, a dozen times in

0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:34.920
<v Speaker 1>his career, more than a dozen. And he's a big

0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:37.520
<v Speaker 1>played player for him. Um, he's a guy that they

0:05:37.520 --> 0:05:41.120
<v Speaker 1>throw to even if he's covered. He's very very strong, um,

0:05:41.320 --> 0:05:43.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, and I think that that ability to make

0:05:43.520 --> 0:05:45.400
<v Speaker 1>a big play is something that you know, we talked

0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:48.080
<v Speaker 1>about guys that move to chains. Um, he can move

0:05:48.120 --> 0:05:50.000
<v Speaker 1>to chains, but he can also make you pay for

0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:55.520
<v Speaker 1>a touchdown because there offen un obviously you guys had

0:05:55.560 --> 0:05:59.040
<v Speaker 1>different really spends Washington. I would imagine that Dallas is

0:05:59.080 --> 0:06:03.560
<v Speaker 1>probably just as good. Yeah, you know, they've given the

0:06:03.600 --> 0:06:06.599
<v Speaker 1>quarterback a ton of time. You know, Prescott has has

0:06:06.680 --> 0:06:09.440
<v Speaker 1>done a good job of um, you know, leading them

0:06:09.480 --> 0:06:12.880
<v Speaker 1>to their record. And you know, quarterback the most important

0:06:12.880 --> 0:06:15.840
<v Speaker 1>status wins and he's done that. They've given him a

0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:18.320
<v Speaker 1>lot of time, um, you know, and they've helped him

0:06:18.360 --> 0:06:21.360
<v Speaker 1>run the ball, and that's pretty good formula for any quarterback,

0:06:21.440 --> 0:06:25.440
<v Speaker 1>much less a rookie quarterback. You know, a lot has

0:06:25.480 --> 0:06:29.160
<v Speaker 1>been made of you know, the few amount of turnovers.

0:06:29.200 --> 0:06:31.200
<v Speaker 1>A lot of that can be attributed to the offensive

0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:34.159
<v Speaker 1>line because he hasn't had to throw a ball before

0:06:34.160 --> 0:06:36.839
<v Speaker 1>he wanted to or you know, got hit when he

0:06:36.920 --> 0:06:39.440
<v Speaker 1>was thrown actually the one the one he has as

0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:41.400
<v Speaker 1>he was hit when he was thrown. But it's been

0:06:41.480 --> 0:06:44.400
<v Speaker 1>very rare that he's been hit. He's had some clean pockets.

0:06:44.440 --> 0:06:46.840
<v Speaker 1>He's been able to buy time, he's been able to

0:06:46.920 --> 0:06:49.200
<v Speaker 1>run when he m you know, when he needs to,

0:06:49.320 --> 0:06:51.440
<v Speaker 1>and they've been able to run the ball and take

0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:54.960
<v Speaker 1>them out of some tough conversion situations. Also, so their

0:06:54.960 --> 0:06:58.600
<v Speaker 1>offensive line has triggered a lot of that. Um, I

0:06:58.640 --> 0:07:00.640
<v Speaker 1>feel strong about our defense. It's going to be a

0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:04.159
<v Speaker 1>great match up on Sunday. Become such as league usual

0:07:04.200 --> 0:07:06.359
<v Speaker 1>to see a team like Dallas that really wants to

0:07:06.520 --> 0:07:09.080
<v Speaker 1>establish a run first and run a thirty five forty

0:07:09.120 --> 0:07:12.760
<v Speaker 1>times game. Yeah, I mean, I think everybody's different. I mean,

0:07:12.800 --> 0:07:15.600
<v Speaker 1>I think it plays to it plays did their strengths

0:07:16.320 --> 0:07:17.720
<v Speaker 1>with a couple of years ago when they were a

0:07:17.720 --> 0:07:20.720
<v Speaker 1>playoff team, they did the same thing. It was different

0:07:20.760 --> 0:07:23.280
<v Speaker 1>running back, but same scheme and a lot of the

0:07:23.320 --> 0:07:28.520
<v Speaker 1>same offensive players other than the running back, same offensive coordinator, um,

0:07:28.840 --> 0:07:31.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, same head coach, you know. And I think

0:07:31.200 --> 0:07:34.800
<v Speaker 1>that philosophy means an awful lot. I think it matches

0:07:34.840 --> 0:07:36.560
<v Speaker 1>well with the players that they have. And I think

0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:39.960
<v Speaker 1>that's probably the you know, the most important thing when

0:07:39.960 --> 0:07:44.760
<v Speaker 1>you consider schemes and you know, managing games and everything else.

0:07:44.840 --> 0:07:46.760
<v Speaker 1>It's you know, playing to your strengths. And I think

0:07:46.800 --> 0:07:48.240
<v Speaker 1>they've done a very good job of that. We're going

0:07:48.280 --> 0:07:51.520
<v Speaker 1>to have to find a way to take them off

0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:55.080
<v Speaker 1>of that formula, you know, and go ahead. I don't

0:07:55.120 --> 0:07:58.000
<v Speaker 1>have much else to say, so I was just I

0:07:58.120 --> 0:08:01.880
<v Speaker 1>was just philibustering right there. And percentage went down a

0:08:01.880 --> 0:08:04.000
<v Speaker 1>little bit for Barwin last week, up a little bit

0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:06.000
<v Speaker 1>for Curry. Do you think you'll be able to maintain

0:08:06.080 --> 0:08:08.320
<v Speaker 1>that against a team that runs the ball as well

0:08:08.360 --> 0:08:11.000
<v Speaker 1>as Della's. Yeah, you know, a lot of those things.

0:08:11.040 --> 0:08:14.280
<v Speaker 1>Vinny rushes inside and some of that snap count was

0:08:14.440 --> 0:08:17.440
<v Speaker 1>up because of that. You know, every game is going

0:08:17.480 --> 0:08:18.840
<v Speaker 1>to be a little bit different. I don't know if

0:08:18.840 --> 0:08:21.760
<v Speaker 1>i'd I don't think one game, you know, a little

0:08:21.760 --> 0:08:23.920
<v Speaker 1>bit like question before about how he handled Nickel. So

0:08:24.000 --> 0:08:27.000
<v Speaker 1>much of it as personnel based and matchup based and

0:08:27.400 --> 0:08:30.080
<v Speaker 1>what the offense is in and down in distance and

0:08:30.160 --> 0:08:31.560
<v Speaker 1>things like that. Every game is going to be a

0:08:31.600 --> 0:08:33.880
<v Speaker 1>little bit different. We played an awful lot of reps

0:08:33.880 --> 0:08:36.400
<v Speaker 1>in that game, you know, and early in the season

0:08:36.400 --> 0:08:38.200
<v Speaker 1>we weren't playing very much. The last couple of weeks

0:08:38.200 --> 0:08:40.640
<v Speaker 1>we played a lot, maybe the week before on our

0:08:40.679 --> 0:08:42.880
<v Speaker 1>own fault, but last week we had to play a

0:08:42.920 --> 0:08:45.080
<v Speaker 1>lot of reps and you know, I was proud of

0:08:45.080 --> 0:08:47.800
<v Speaker 1>the guys. They came out early and you know we're

0:08:47.840 --> 0:08:50.640
<v Speaker 1>getting stops. I think we only give up one first

0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:54.600
<v Speaker 1>down in five series. You know, that helped us to

0:08:54.600 --> 0:08:56.040
<v Speaker 1>be able to get to a point where we could

0:08:56.080 --> 0:08:57.680
<v Speaker 1>get that game because there were some fires to put

0:08:57.679 --> 0:08:59.880
<v Speaker 1>out early in that game. We had a penalty on

0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:04.000
<v Speaker 1>them on the first punt, you know, after three and out,

0:09:04.080 --> 0:09:06.280
<v Speaker 1>and then turnovers and things like that. But the guys

0:09:06.280 --> 0:09:08.920
<v Speaker 1>didn't bad an eye. We had good rotations. We were

0:09:08.920 --> 0:09:11.040
<v Speaker 1>able to keep them fresh late in the game. You know,

0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:13.600
<v Speaker 1>that's when you saw guys like Stephen Means get in there.

0:09:14.120 --> 0:09:15.680
<v Speaker 1>You know, he gave us a little boost late in

0:09:15.679 --> 0:09:17.840
<v Speaker 1>the game. It was it's hard to rush all those times,

0:09:17.880 --> 0:09:19.840
<v Speaker 1>and um, you know he was able to give it

0:09:19.960 --> 0:09:22.640
<v Speaker 1>something to break of Dallas. Run game isn't necessarily going

0:09:22.679 --> 0:09:27.800
<v Speaker 1>to affect your selection there, well yeah, I mean it's

0:09:28.000 --> 0:09:30.560
<v Speaker 1>it's going to just as as the game develops. It's

0:09:30.600 --> 0:09:34.440
<v Speaker 1>it's it's it's more just how it develops. Leodis and Jalon.

0:09:34.559 --> 0:09:37.240
<v Speaker 1>Was that more because you're trying to ease uh Leodis

0:09:37.240 --> 0:09:38.559
<v Speaker 1>back in or do you like, do you want to

0:09:38.559 --> 0:09:41.760
<v Speaker 1>see more or more of Jean Jalen's earned playing time,

0:09:41.800 --> 0:09:45.720
<v Speaker 1>but it was probably more to try to manage Leotis

0:09:46.640 --> 0:09:48.680
<v Speaker 1>in that game. You know, it was his first time

0:09:48.720 --> 0:09:51.400
<v Speaker 1>back and um, you know try and well wasn't his

0:09:51.480 --> 0:09:54.000
<v Speaker 1>first time back, but he's had some setbacks and we

0:09:54.120 --> 0:09:56.880
<v Speaker 1>just wanted to make sure that fatigue wasn't an issue.

0:09:56.960 --> 0:09:59.200
<v Speaker 1>And you know a lot of times you can get

0:10:00.240 --> 0:10:03.280
<v Speaker 1>you can you can aggravate injuries because of fatigue. And

0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:06.120
<v Speaker 1>I thought that you know, he was available when you

0:10:06.120 --> 0:10:10.679
<v Speaker 1>know when, Um, it helped to make him available. A

0:10:10.840 --> 0:10:13.280
<v Speaker 1>guy like Elliott present you that can run over you

0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:17.800
<v Speaker 1>but run around you if he needs to. Yeah, Um,

0:10:17.800 --> 0:10:20.240
<v Speaker 1>he's he can run outside, he can run inside. He's

0:10:20.280 --> 0:10:24.840
<v Speaker 1>a one cut runner. Um. He fits their offense really well. Um,

0:10:25.080 --> 0:10:28.480
<v Speaker 1>and I just you know, there's some guys that you say, okay,

0:10:28.520 --> 0:10:31.520
<v Speaker 1>we take their inside away and they can't go outside.

0:10:31.520 --> 0:10:33.160
<v Speaker 1>Other guys you say, hey, if you make them run

0:10:33.200 --> 0:10:36.280
<v Speaker 1>inside the darkness, they're not going to be as effective. Um.

0:10:36.360 --> 0:10:38.440
<v Speaker 1>You know, their scheme gives him the ability to make

0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:42.400
<v Speaker 1>the cut as he sees it. So it turns into um,

0:10:42.640 --> 0:10:44.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's it's not just a single man. Everybody

0:10:44.960 --> 0:10:46.840
<v Speaker 1>on defense has to do the job. If one guy's

0:10:46.840 --> 0:10:48.559
<v Speaker 1>out of place or one guy misses a tackle, he

0:10:48.600 --> 0:10:55.400
<v Speaker 1>can make a big play. You know, it is. I

0:10:55.400 --> 0:10:59.079
<v Speaker 1>mean Callahan obviously was at UM at Dallas a few

0:10:59.200 --> 0:11:02.320
<v Speaker 1>years ago, and there's some similarities in that game, and

0:11:02.400 --> 0:11:04.400
<v Speaker 1>we did some things that rad a character in that

0:11:04.440 --> 0:11:07.280
<v Speaker 1>game and some things that we did better. Minnesota tried

0:11:07.360 --> 0:11:09.760
<v Speaker 1>a few of those things and we were able to

0:11:10.280 --> 0:11:13.400
<v Speaker 1>play some of them better. But every game is different

0:11:13.480 --> 0:11:20.480
<v Speaker 1>and different personnel, different situation. UM. You know, UM, you know, hope,

0:11:20.559 --> 0:11:24.240
<v Speaker 1>hopefully we've hopefully we learned some lessons from it and

0:11:24.320 --> 0:11:27.960
<v Speaker 1>that will carry us forward. Brandon Graham being a guy

0:11:28.000 --> 0:11:31.160
<v Speaker 1>that kind of sets the help sets the tempo on defense. Um.

0:11:32.080 --> 0:11:33.920
<v Speaker 1>What are some of the things specifically that he does

0:11:34.320 --> 0:11:38.480
<v Speaker 1>that you know the other players feed off of. Um.

0:11:38.520 --> 0:11:42.880
<v Speaker 1>He's a playmaker, you know, tackles for losses, sack strips, hustle,

0:11:42.920 --> 0:11:46.839
<v Speaker 1>plays down the field, all those things combined. He plays

0:11:46.840 --> 0:11:48.400
<v Speaker 1>with a lot of energy, he plays with a lot

0:11:48.440 --> 0:11:53.199
<v Speaker 1>of toughness. He's a reliable player. Previous two home games

0:11:53.360 --> 0:11:56.319
<v Speaker 1>or road games, rather, the defense has got off a

0:11:56.440 --> 0:11:59.040
<v Speaker 1>pretty slow start. Twenty one first in points. Is there

0:11:59.040 --> 0:12:02.360
<v Speaker 1>anything you can do as a coordinator to to change that,

0:12:02.440 --> 0:12:04.199
<v Speaker 1>to get them out to play clicker or what was

0:12:04.200 --> 0:12:06.640
<v Speaker 1>that you same name? Yeah, I don't know. I mean

0:12:06.679 --> 0:12:09.960
<v Speaker 1>I think sometimes you can you can overdo that, you know.

0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:13.360
<v Speaker 1>I mean sometimes if you try to be too aggressive,

0:12:13.400 --> 0:12:16.360
<v Speaker 1>you try to play out a character that can you know,

0:12:16.440 --> 0:12:18.800
<v Speaker 1>that can change things also, I mean that can that

0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:21.520
<v Speaker 1>can work against you also. I think the thing we

0:12:21.559 --> 0:12:25.280
<v Speaker 1>did last week is we went back to I will

0:12:25.360 --> 0:12:27.880
<v Speaker 1>say back to basics, but we went back to being

0:12:28.000 --> 0:12:30.559
<v Speaker 1>us and some of the things that we're designed to do.

0:12:30.880 --> 0:12:34.200
<v Speaker 1>And um, we didn't do those well against Washington. Um,

0:12:34.960 --> 0:12:38.800
<v Speaker 1>we weren't necessarily doing them poorly against against Dallas, but

0:12:38.840 --> 0:12:40.559
<v Speaker 1>there were some things at a character, particularly in the

0:12:40.640 --> 0:12:42.880
<v Speaker 1>first half, that we did in that game too. I

0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:46.000
<v Speaker 1>think that you know, more than anything, you just have

0:12:46.040 --> 0:12:49.640
<v Speaker 1>to play. You have to play within yourself. And if

0:12:49.640 --> 0:12:51.520
<v Speaker 1>you do a good job of that, you play with energy,

0:12:51.520 --> 0:12:55.040
<v Speaker 1>you play with emotion, um, you play team defense. I

0:12:55.040 --> 0:12:57.600
<v Speaker 1>think you'll see good results in those games. We didn't

0:12:57.720 --> 0:13:05.359
<v Speaker 1>we did, we didn't. We didn't do enough of those things. Yeah,

0:13:05.400 --> 0:13:07.520
<v Speaker 1>the guy from the very beginning that you know, nothing

0:13:07.600 --> 0:13:10.360
<v Speaker 1>has been too big for him. If he's called upon Um,

0:13:10.400 --> 0:13:12.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, we're confident in him going out and getting

0:13:12.720 --> 0:13:20.720
<v Speaker 1>a job done. Looking at like carsoning Dad Prescott, how

0:13:20.800 --> 0:13:24.480
<v Speaker 1>much do you think like the situation looking quarterbacks coming too,

0:13:25.600 --> 0:13:29.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, to their success is reduced. Well, I'll just

0:13:29.600 --> 0:13:32.640
<v Speaker 1>speak on Prescott. Um, you know he does. He has

0:13:32.679 --> 0:13:34.560
<v Speaker 1>a team that's leading the NFL and rushing. Now he

0:13:34.559 --> 0:13:36.319
<v Speaker 1>has something to do with that. He's made some plays

0:13:36.320 --> 0:13:40.400
<v Speaker 1>with his feet, He's given him some read option capabilities. Um,

0:13:40.440 --> 0:13:43.680
<v Speaker 1>he's extended plays on third down. Um. You know, he's

0:13:43.760 --> 0:13:48.079
<v Speaker 1>run the bootleg very effectively. Um, so all that helps him.

0:13:48.120 --> 0:13:50.720
<v Speaker 1>I mean, his bootleg probably isn't as effective if he

0:13:50.800 --> 0:13:53.000
<v Speaker 1>doesn't have Elliott, and he doesn't have you know, the

0:13:53.559 --> 0:13:56.079
<v Speaker 1>number one rushing attack in the NFL. And he has

0:13:56.360 --> 0:13:59.760
<v Speaker 1>other good players around him, Wit and Beasley inside receivers,

0:13:59.760 --> 0:14:01.439
<v Speaker 1>and he's a big play receiver. So I think it

0:14:01.720 --> 0:14:04.240
<v Speaker 1>certainly has a lot to do with the success he has.

0:14:04.320 --> 0:14:06.800
<v Speaker 1>But I'll just keep my comments to Prescott on that.

0:14:08.440 --> 0:14:11.760
