1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,160 Speaker 1: How would suddenly is it when you when you have 2 00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:04,640 Speaker 1: to change offensive line, and I know you know the 3 00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:06,840 Speaker 1: injury necessitates it that when you have to put a 4 00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:08,879 Speaker 1: new guy in there. I mean, is there any concern 5 00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:11,920 Speaker 1: about the chemistry and any jelly kind of taking a 6 00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:15,360 Speaker 1: little stuff that way? Well, you know that's part of it. 7 00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:18,600 Speaker 1: I think all of us realize that. You know, ideally 8 00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,520 Speaker 1: you keep everybody healthy and nobody gets hurt, but um, 9 00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:24,439 Speaker 1: you have to plan and uh for for changes, for 10 00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:27,720 Speaker 1: sudden changes. And the difficult thing is you can't get 11 00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,480 Speaker 1: everybody equal reps. So guys are gonna have to step up. 12 00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:32,440 Speaker 1: But you know, guys are professional. It's part of it's 13 00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:34,960 Speaker 1: part of their job to be able to produce without 14 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:39,800 Speaker 1: a lot of reps. So um uh, injuries happen, unfortunately, 15 00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,519 Speaker 1: but you um, you know, you deal with them and 16 00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:47,559 Speaker 1: you move on and the next guy up, good new offensive. 17 00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:49,360 Speaker 1: In game one, it looks like you guys were close, 18 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,199 Speaker 1: that they were places remain there too. What did you 19 00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:55,400 Speaker 1: take away? Yeah, well, I mean it hadn't been good enough, 20 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,520 Speaker 1: but it's but close, I think is a you know, 21 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 1: it is a keyword, and you don't want to use 22 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 1: that as an excuse, but UM, I think there's a 23 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 1: fine line and everything we do in for us in 24 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:11,120 Speaker 1: our world with UM, you know, perception and reality. I 25 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,440 Speaker 1: think that perception is, you know, we're not there. It's 26 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,479 Speaker 1: it's not good enough and it hasn't been. But reality 27 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:19,880 Speaker 1: is we think we're really close, and we do a 28 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,759 Speaker 1: couple of things here and there throughout UM and everybody 29 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,319 Speaker 1: you know, do things more consistently. Um. You know, we 30 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:27,959 Speaker 1: are going to stay on the field. We are going 31 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:29,880 Speaker 1: to put points on the board because I think we're 32 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 1: too talented and uh, and get back to where we 33 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 1: where we want to be because we line obviously has 34 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 1: gotten a lot of heat the last two weeks, and 35 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 1: it's obviously more than just them. But specifically, then, what 36 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 1: have you seen? What's the unit? Is it a matter 37 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 1: of a bunch of new guys and they're trying to 38 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 1: trying to be on the same thing. Well, you know, 39 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 1: without sounding to you know, UM boring, I should say, 40 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's a little bit of everything. 41 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 1: You know, It's not just one thing here, one thing there. 42 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 1: It's just a combination of all of us. UM. And 43 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 1: you know, I mean you asked about the offensive line. 44 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 1: It's hard. You know, we're in you know, with the 45 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 1: way I look at it, it's it's it's all of us, 46 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 1: and we we just do things a little bit better, 47 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,640 Speaker 1: a little more consistently. And you know, um, it takes 48 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 1: all eleven on every player to do things right. Our 49 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:21,080 Speaker 1: guys realized that, and they're you know, trying like crazy 50 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,079 Speaker 1: to do that. We just gotta do better. One of 51 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:24,679 Speaker 1: the things that jumped out of me when I looked 52 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,080 Speaker 1: at the league stats was first down. So it's like 53 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 1: two point five five and just last in the league. 54 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 1: I mean, we have to be more creative on first 55 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 1: down a lot. No, I just gotta just gotta everybody 56 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 1: do their job better. Um. And I think that's consistent 57 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:39,960 Speaker 1: with kind of where we're at on on some other 58 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 1: downs as well. Uh, you know are and I know 59 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,079 Speaker 1: coaches talked about this, you know, don't wait till third 60 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 1: down to make a first down. Let's let's be productive, 61 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:52,519 Speaker 1: efficient and or productive on first and second down. Let's 62 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 1: make first downs on first down, um or second down. So, um, 63 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 1: the good news last week was we were better on 64 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 1: third down. We had too many of them, but they 65 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 1: helped us stay on the field at times, and unfortunately, 66 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 1: wasn't good enough to Uh, you know, they come up 67 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 1: with a winner to get enough points. But being a 68 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,639 Speaker 1: guy who works with the quarterback so closely, mean, is 69 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 1: there anything with quarterback can do when it's a quote 70 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 1: unquot jailbreak situation where he turns around and he's a 71 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 1: guy standing up, you know, which happened several times at 72 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:23,840 Speaker 1: the Capitols game. Um, well, hopefully it doesn't happen number one. 73 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 1: We're not um, But I mean, those guys, you know, 74 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 1: they every situation is different. You know, if if obviously 75 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 1: there's as far as getting the ball out or is 76 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 1: that what you're talking about. I mean, the obvious thing 77 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 1: is to get the ball out, don't take the sack, 78 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 1: don't take the hit. Um, and uh, you know, you 79 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 1: know Elis has done a great job. And you know 80 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 1: the thing we talk about our our with ELI and 81 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 1: their quarterbacks is just keep working. And you know, you 82 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 1: play in my in my opinion, I'm a little biased, 83 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 1: but you know, one of the toughest and greatest positions 84 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 1: in all of sports, and you have to make split 85 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 1: second decisions whatever they are, whether or not you take 86 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 1: a sack, don't take sack. Mr Reid see a hot um, 87 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 1: get to the right guy, all those things, um, And 88 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 1: in regard to pressure, you know, moving around, you know, 89 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 1: buying time in the pocket, all those things to keep 90 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,159 Speaker 1: us where you're making decisions to keep us on the 91 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 1: field or keep us out of a play if it's 92 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,600 Speaker 1: a bad play hopefully it's not, but keep it from 93 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:28,360 Speaker 1: being worse. Inconsistency offensively preventing you guys from getting getting 94 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 1: into whatever specific I think at times. Yeah, I mean 95 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 1: it's um. I think probably any anybody on offense really 96 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,720 Speaker 1: or defense would would would say yes to that question. 97 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 1: I think that you know, we keep striving for that, 98 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,720 Speaker 1: and we're seeing some some signs of it. Nowhere near 99 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 1: what we think we can be, and not good enough 100 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 1: yet to get points on the board to help our 101 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 1: team win, But um, we are getting closer. And I 102 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,040 Speaker 1: think there's not one person in this building that feels 103 00:04:55,040 --> 00:05:00,840 Speaker 1: otherwise when you look into the Texas pretty good bess rushers. 104 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 1: How much is j J? But obviously he's coming back 105 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,360 Speaker 1: from major major injure, still the guy that you have 106 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 1: to when you line up, yeah, say okay, he's over 107 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 1: here on this side of the side, right you gotta 108 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 1: He is still the guy, and you have to know 109 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:14,920 Speaker 1: where he is. We have to know where he is 110 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,160 Speaker 1: at all times. He's productive at all the spots too. 111 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 1: It's not like he's just you know, outstanding at you know, 112 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 1: on our right side outside or you know, he can 113 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 1: play outside on our left or inside or play over 114 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 1: the center. I mean he's just so uh not only 115 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 1: is talented explosive, but his awareness is off the charts. 116 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,520 Speaker 1: Um so. And then you add in clowney on on 117 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 1: the other side or when they're together, so um, that's 118 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 1: why they're really good on defense. So you know, we've 119 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 1: just got to continue to focus on ourselves number one, 120 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 1: and obviously be aware of those guys and and uh 121 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 1: execute our plan and like and like we spoke earlier, 122 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,359 Speaker 1: stay out of the long yardage situations, make first downs 123 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,920 Speaker 1: on first and second down, and then finishing the reds right, 124 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,479 Speaker 1: how can you make sure that Delves work a little? 125 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 1: Targets are like, yeah, yeah, we we want to obviously 126 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 1: get him involved he's such a um productive player for us, 127 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 1: and get him involved in early. Um. So I think 128 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:17,599 Speaker 1: it's just um yeah, I mean you can say these things, says, yeah, 129 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 1: we got a game plan that but um he he 130 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,359 Speaker 1: and in our offense and ELI they have such a 131 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 1: good feel for the game. Just continue to utilize not 132 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 1: just their talents, but their awareness and their intelligence to 133 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 1: be able to you know, um make you know, get him, 134 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,360 Speaker 1: get him the football. You know, whether or not it's 135 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 1: you know, uh, however, short passes, inside passes, outside passes, 136 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:47,160 Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff. Provisor, No, just use yeah 137 00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 1: that and also have multiple ways to do it.
