And it's 25 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 3: it's all things that we will learn from that that 26 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:37,120 Speaker 3: we absolutely have to play complimentary ball there, offense, defense, 27 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,400 Speaker 3: special teams to find a way to win. And that's 28 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 3: what we'll be focused on this week with that, I'll 29 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:43,759 Speaker 3: take any questions. 30 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, Kevin, what do you think the plan will be 31 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 4: with Dylan being in the protocol? Will you kind of 32 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 4: lean towards turning it over to shr door so we 33 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 4: can get that full week of practice and be ready 34 00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 4: to go on Sunday. 35 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll work through that in the next couple of 36 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:02,919 Speaker 3: days and this week obviously a Mary Kay.

There's always gonna 45 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,359 Speaker 3: be bad, and that's just part of playing and getting reps, 46 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 3: and then part of learning is taking all those coaching 47 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:36,919 Speaker 3: points that come with those reps. 48 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 5: And what did you say on those two the back 49 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 5: to back droves into the end zone. Looked like they 50 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 5: had a chance, just need to be better balls or 51 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 5: what did you see there? 52 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, trying to make a play on both of those 53 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 3: scramble drill obviously trying to make a big play, got 54 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 3: out of the pocket, did a nice job, and then 55 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,360 Speaker 3: their player made a nice play down the field. 56 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 6: Hey, Kevin, I wanted to ask, now, do you have 57 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 6: any further details on like everything surrounding dealing with concussion check? 58 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 6: Was he presenting symptoms to saying thing? Was it a 59 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,360 Speaker 6: spot er? How did that come to be? 60 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:12,799 Speaker 3: Yeah, he was feeling symptoms at halftime. Obviously got with 61 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 3: the trainers immediately and addressed it. 62 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 6: And as of this morning, is he still presenting symptoms 63 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 6: to your knowledge? 64 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not going to get into specifics, but he's 65 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 3: still in the protocol. 66 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 7: Kevin, I know this is a weekly question, but will 67 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 7: Watson be cleared of practice? 68 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 2: Yeah? I don't have an update there, okay. 69 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 7: And you said last night that if Gabriel is unable 70 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 7: to play, would be Shador you have ZAPPI also, is 71 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 7: there any need for another quarterback to join the team 72 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 7: this week? 73 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, all things that will work through. But feel good 74 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 3: about our group. 75 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 8: Okay, thank you, Kevin. 76 00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 9: What are the challenges for your offensive line when Gabriel 77 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 9: and Shador have such different styles? 78 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 2: Yeah. 79 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 3: I think for all players, Jeff, it's just important that 80 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 3: you focus on your job and our guys know what 81 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 3: our roles are and that there are of course, there's 82 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 3: different styles to quarterbacks. There's different styles to runners. You 83 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 3: know how the running back you're starting running back may 84 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,480 Speaker 3: running plays a little bit different than the backup running back. 85 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 2: But that's all part of it. 86 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,279 Speaker 3: And I think the big focus there, Jeff, is just 87 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 3: that everybody does their their job on any given play. 88 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 9: But I mean, it seems to me in the way 89 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 9: that their styles are so contrasted, it has to really 90 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 9: be more difficult or I'm not more difficult, but different 91 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:43,039 Speaker 9: for your line. 92 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, the general principles, the rules. You know, how we 93 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 3: structure the protection is regardless of the quarterback you. 94 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,600 Speaker 10: Think you Kevin, I know why it's said post game 95 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,719 Speaker 10: yesterday that it took them a couple of minutes to 96 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:03,360 Speaker 10: get used to Shador's ca and some everything. Just what 97 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 10: do you think of the offensive lines performing the second 98 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 10: half and just everybody trying to adjust on the fly. 99 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought, listen, we can be better in a 100 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 3: bunch of different areas. Obviously, those are things that we 101 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 3: will continue to improve. But that's that's all. Part of 102 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,280 Speaker 3: playing this game is making sure that when guys come 103 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 3: in and out of a lineup that you don't miss 104 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:28,159 Speaker 3: a beat. 105 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 11: Kevin, if I could follow up on Deshaun real quick, 106 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,480 Speaker 11: when's the deadline for you guys to make a decision 107 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 11: about him on that reserve pup, whether or not you 108 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 11: will open that twenty one day window. 109 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't. I don't know the answer to that. Darryl. 110 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 2: I know he's doing a great job in meetings supporting 111 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:46,359 Speaker 2: the guys. 112 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 11: And then just on Shador when you when you watch 113 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 11: that yesterday, obviously that's a tough spot for him to 114 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 11: come in. We you know, talked about the lack of 115 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,719 Speaker 11: first team reps and whatnot. Just what did you see 116 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 11: from him? You know when you went back and watched 117 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 11: the film this morning, and you know, how much of 118 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 11: that do you think, you know, positive or negative? You know, 119 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 11: can he take you know, a step forward by now 120 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:15,480 Speaker 11: getting some practice time? 121 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:17,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's all positive. 122 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:22,160 Speaker 3: You're constantly learning as a young football player, constantly learning 123 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 3: as a quarterback through through all reps. You know, we 124 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 3: talked so much about mental reps and those type of things, 125 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 3: how important they are. So all those physical reps I 126 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:34,599 Speaker 3: think add up and will only improve as he continues 127 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 3: to get turns. 128 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,719 Speaker 12: KEEVI and I know a lot of teams structure kind 129 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,360 Speaker 12: of how they give their reps away to their backups. 130 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,839 Speaker 12: Kind of similarly, when you look at that situation and 131 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,920 Speaker 12: knowing that Shador didn't get those first team reps, would 132 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,600 Speaker 12: you have changed anything about the approach about how you 133 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 12: maybe divided up the first team reps from training camp 134 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 12: to now? 135 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, I understand the question. Cam. 136 00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 3: I think it's important that you do what you think 137 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 3: is right for a football team. The development of our 138 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:07,239 Speaker 3: players is constant. It doesn't happen just in one drill 139 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 3: or in one practice or one meeting. So we trust 140 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 3: our guys, we trust our backup players to be ready 141 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 3: to go, and Shoudor is ready to go. Obviously, I 142 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 3: know he wants to play better, I want to coach better, 143 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 3: all those type of things, But that just comes, that'll 144 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 3: come through work, That's where it will come. 145 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 12: And then on the other side of the ball, Devin 146 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 12: Bush said yesterday that you know they want to do more, 147 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 12: specifically for Miles Garrett in a game that he has 148 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 12: four sacks, five tackles for loss, they want to do 149 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 12: more not only to help push him, but to get 150 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,120 Speaker 12: him wins. I know it's not just Miles, but is 151 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 12: that kind of a shared mindset in the team of 152 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 12: not wanting to waste big performances, so to say, by 153 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 12: not getting the win. 154 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, we're so focused on one thing, Cam and one 155 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 3: thing only, and that's winning, and that's winning as a team. 156 00:07:58,240 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 2: And when you come. 157 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 3: Up short, it's hard to really think about anything else 158 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:04,440 Speaker 3: about it about a given game. 159 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 13: Hey, Kevin, I got just a couple questions about tackles position. 160 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 13: Obviously you say it's day to day with Jack and Cam, 161 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 13: but would the plan be Tevin and KT likely to 162 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 13: start at those spots what would be kind of the 163 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 13: what is the kind of contingency plan there? 164 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, we have options, Chris. We have to work through 165 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 3: all those things this week. Obviously the availability of Jack 166 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 3: and Cam will determine that. But Kt went in there 167 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 3: when we had an injury yesterday. Tevin went in there 168 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,199 Speaker 3: when we had an injury yesterday. So those are certainly 169 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 3: options if that's the case. 170 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,080 Speaker 14: And then following up, this is like the third straight 171 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:46,040 Speaker 14: year where you've just had all sorts of injuries at 172 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:49,720 Speaker 14: that specific position, both tackle spots. Have you ever seen 173 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 14: anything quite like that in your time in the league. 174 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:53,680 Speaker 2: Can't remember. 175 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 3: I don't know, But again, I think it goes back 176 00:08:56,440 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 3: to injuries are very, very unfortunate part of this foot 177 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:05,240 Speaker 3: of this game of football, and we have guys that 178 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,680 Speaker 3: are backups and we trust them things. 179 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,960 Speaker 15: Hey, Kevin, I wanted to ask you if you could 180 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,200 Speaker 15: just explain some of the different nuances and challenges I 181 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 15: know you have in the past of you know, splitting 182 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:22,080 Speaker 15: up reps with a rookie starting quarterback and a rookie 183 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 15: backup quarterback and the different challenges that that kind of presents. 184 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:30,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, obviously reps themselves are different, both in 185 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 3: the off season and in the regular season. We've always 186 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 3: structured it with making sure we're getting all of our 187 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:42,560 Speaker 3: guys ready to play. You know, I think our players, 188 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 3: starters and backups do a great job of maximizing all 189 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 3: of their opportunities, whether it comes again in a given 190 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 3: rep or it comes in a meeting, whatever it may be. 191 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, a couple of questions here real quick for you, Kevin. 192 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,720 Speaker 4: First of all, when you said after the game that 193 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 4: Dylan will you know, would start a peep cleared the 194 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:04,720 Speaker 4: concussion protocol, were you pretty much talking about the Raiders 195 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 4: game and will you take this kind of week to week? 196 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 4: I mean you didn't, Is that correct? 197 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,439 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm just talking about the fact that he's in 198 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 3: the concussion protocol. So we'll obviously make sure that that 199 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 3: takes precedent here Mary kay, and make sure that he's 200 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 3: getting better by the day. 201 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,760 Speaker 4: But what I'm what I mean by that is does 202 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:30,840 Speaker 4: Shador have a chance to nail this thing and hang 203 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:32,600 Speaker 4: on to the starting job if he goes out there 204 00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:36,480 Speaker 4: and performs well and then when Gabriel comes back, or 205 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:37,160 Speaker 4: how is that going. 206 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 3: I'm not going to speculate on that type of thing. 207 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:44,679 Speaker 3: I know this we we trust our players. We trust 208 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 3: our guys to put in the work, and we're just 209 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,200 Speaker 3: gonna be solely focused on this game that's in front 210 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 3: of us. 211 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:54,640 Speaker 4: Okay, And then you've been around a lot of offensive 212 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 4: football throughout your whole entire career, just so people have 213 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,240 Speaker 4: an understanding about how those those first team reps work 214 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 4: in practice, Like all those years that you were in Minnesota, 215 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:10,520 Speaker 4: was it ever customary to give QB two any of 216 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:12,320 Speaker 4: those first team reps in practice? 217 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, and I understand the question. No, the starter gets 218 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 3: the vast majority obviously, if not the entire majority. I 219 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 3: will say this, we trust our players. Chaudor is putting 220 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 3: in great work and you know on the field in 221 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 3: the meeting room, he will be better with all with 222 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,120 Speaker 3: reps that he's getting, like any player would be better. 223 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 2: But we trust him. 224 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 8: Uh. 225 00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 3: And he's somebody that's that's continued to put in the 226 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:42,160 Speaker 3: work and will continue to do so. 227 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:44,080 Speaker 4: Okay, thank you than Kevin. 228 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 16: You last night, Miles mentioned that Shador sort of tried 229 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,320 Speaker 16: to shoulder the blame for the loss sort of in 230 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,199 Speaker 16: front of the team in the locker room. Just what 231 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,319 Speaker 16: was your message to him in that moment? Miles kind 232 00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 16: of said, you know, he wasn't gonna let him do that, 233 00:11:57,800 --> 00:11:59,280 Speaker 16: But what was your message sort of to him. 234 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:01,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, obviously I'll keep you know, those type of messages 235 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 3: between us. But this game has never been about one 236 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,080 Speaker 3: player or one you know, one play in a game. 237 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 2: It will always be a you know, a team effort 238 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:12,480 Speaker 2: in all areas. 239 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,240 Speaker 16: And then the Ravens have used that sort of Mark 240 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:19,080 Speaker 16: Andrew's Wildcat push push play before. I think they actually 241 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 16: just used it last week against the Vikings, a different 242 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 16: version of a different playoff of it. But how much 243 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,520 Speaker 16: was that something you guys, you know, prepared for kind 244 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:28,520 Speaker 16: of thought could be part of the game plan for them, 245 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,719 Speaker 16: and how much was them doing that version of it 246 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 16: just you know, them running the right play at the 247 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:33,720 Speaker 16: right time. 248 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:35,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean you got to tip your cap to them. 249 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:39,679 Speaker 3: Obviously it was a well designed play. There are things 250 00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:43,199 Speaker 3: that we can do differently on that play, and they 251 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,959 Speaker 3: had shown different things off of that, not exactly that play. 252 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 3: So uh, it's a you know, you hope that they 253 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 3: get they might get the first, but you get him 254 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 3: down for you know, a gain or whatever it might be. 255 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 2: But well executed by. 256 00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:59,360 Speaker 5: Them, Kenn, you guys able to identify when Dylan suffered 257 00:12:59,400 --> 00:12:59,960 Speaker 5: the concussion. 258 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. 259 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,319 Speaker 3: That we know for sure when it was, but I 260 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 3: obviously the hit on the play they kept the ball 261 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 3: to the left side is likely where it happened. 262 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:10,679 Speaker 17: Thank you. 263 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 6: Yeah, Kevin, I wanted to go back to really like 264 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 6: the Blitzero cover zero looks at the Ravens for shown, 265 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 6: because you know they dropped out of a lot of 266 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,080 Speaker 6: those looks and they would bring like a dB especially 267 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 6: in the second half. What as you know, what as 268 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:27,960 Speaker 6: an offense, can you guys do better to execute against that? 269 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:29,840 Speaker 6: Because I know a lot of times it was a 270 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 6: lot of longer developing passes that were kind of like 271 00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:34,839 Speaker 6: crossing over into the zones. Like when you look back 272 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:36,200 Speaker 6: to the film, do you think that maybe you could 273 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 6: you know, throw a couple screens just get the ball 274 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:39,720 Speaker 6: out quickly and get the ball in space. 275 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:43,559 Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll always look at things that we can do better. 276 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:49,480 Speaker 3: Obviously we have to have a better protection just overall 277 00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,560 Speaker 3: on on a bunch of a bunch of areas of 278 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:53,080 Speaker 3: that game. 279 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 2: But we'll look at everything. 280 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 10: Kevin, just your time here in Cleveland, just getting to 281 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 10: know Birdie and everything, how much have you come to 282 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 10: kind of appreciate him trying to battle through his health 283 00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:10,560 Speaker 10: struggles and kind of coming out on the other side. 284 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, Bernie is my guy. 285 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:16,840 Speaker 3: I know that this town has such a special relationship 286 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:20,200 Speaker 3: with Bernie from his playing days and then the impact 287 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 3: that he's had on this community over the course of 288 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,600 Speaker 3: all these years.

Obviously playing with him 314 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,680 Speaker 18: now is the first time, so that was cool. But uh, 315 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,240 Speaker 18: you know, I see him every day, see how he 316 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:50,760 Speaker 18: works and stuff like that, see how he prepares.

Just 323 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 11: what do you think needs to happen for you guys 324 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 11: to kind of get past that on a regular basis 325 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 11: and give you a better shot to win some of 326 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:14,600 Speaker 11: these games when you're scoring some more points. 327 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 18: We just have to be more consistent. I know I've 328 00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:21,680 Speaker 18: been saying that, but just be more consistent on offense 329 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:23,240 Speaker 18: and when the players are there, we just got to 330 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:23,800 Speaker 18: make them. 331 00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:24,240 Speaker 17: He said. 332 00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 5: Following up on that, I saw a quote from you 333 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:29,480 Speaker 5: yesterday that said, it was embarrassing when you're talking about 334 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:33,200 Speaker 5: the offense not being able to support the defense. So 335 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:35,240 Speaker 5: just how do you deal with that, the fact that 336 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 5: you guys haven't met your expectations and it's led to 337 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 5: these losses. 338 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:44,000 Speaker 18: Yeah, you know, it's obviously disappointing because you know, like 339 00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:46,360 Speaker 18: you said, we've kind of just been stuck with the 340 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:49,240 Speaker 18: point situation. So we got to do better as an offense. 341 00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 18: All of us get back obviously here today. Just hit 342 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:56,200 Speaker 18: it hard this week so we can score the amount 343 00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:59,720 Speaker 18: of points because the defense is playing really well, you know, 344 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 18: so we all know what Miles is doing and the 345 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:02,280 Speaker 18: other guys. 346 00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:04,120 Speaker 17: So we just got to do our job on offense. 347 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 5: And then there's been a lot of discussion about the reps, 348 00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 5: like the backup quarterback reps right hasn't had any with 349 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,520 Speaker 5: the first team offense. Do you understand why it's structured 350 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:16,280 Speaker 5: like that that the starter gets all of them in 351 00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:17,880 Speaker 5: the backup just kind of has to figure it out. 352 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:20,080 Speaker 17: No, that's coach's decision. 353 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:23,160 Speaker 5: But is that how is that how he's always been though, right, 354 00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:30,560 Speaker 5: that's not unusual this year coach's decision, I think. 355 00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:34,320 Speaker 4: Said, I was just wondering, do you feel like, I mean, 356 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:38,560 Speaker 4: do you guys still back Dylan Gabriel if he gets 357 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,359 Speaker 4: back in there after this concussion?

Did they 477 00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 5: do anything different schematically that allowed him to get a 478 00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:01,480 Speaker 5: little little bit of ahead of steam on some. 479 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:02,119 Speaker 17: Of those runs? 480 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:04,199 Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, I mean they do what they always do. 481 00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:06,040 Speaker 20: I mean they run off tackle, they run in between 482 00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 20: the tackles, and they just keep feeding you different same runs, 483 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:09,520 Speaker 20: just different looks. 484 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 9: Yeah. 485 00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,600 Speaker 12: Then you just kind of touched on on defense, just 486 00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:15,320 Speaker 12: needing to kind of do your thing and and keep 487 00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:17,680 Speaker 12: making plays out there while the offense figures things out. 488 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,240 Speaker 12: But for you guys, it feels like the margin of 489 00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:22,560 Speaker 12: error is so small when the when the offense isn't 490 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 12: putting up points. Is that something you've had to navigate 491 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:28,640 Speaker 12: of wanting to make the plays and wanting to hold 492 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:30,680 Speaker 12: hold the fork down while the offense figures it out, 493 00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:34,120 Speaker 12: but also not trying to do too much. Uh, and 494 00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:37,040 Speaker 12: and maybe make mistakes as you're trying to do a 495 00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:38,639 Speaker 12: little too much. I know that's been kind of a 496 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:40,720 Speaker 12: point that you guys have emphasized of not doing too much. 497 00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:43,679 Speaker 20: Yeah, I think that's the biggest thing about that is, 498 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:46,480 Speaker 20: you know, knowing what our challenges are, knowing what we're 499 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,480 Speaker 20: trying to overcome, and being able to settle it, settle 500 00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:52,159 Speaker 20: in in those moments, and you know, having confidence in 501 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:55,320 Speaker 20: our in our scheme and our and our players and 502 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,800 Speaker 20: our coaches as well, and just going out there and executing. 503 00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,119 Speaker 12: And you mentioned some of the good things that you've 504 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,879 Speaker 12: seen for Miles Garrett and not a surprise anymore, but 505 00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:07,640 Speaker 12: what have you seen from the guys next to him 506 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,160 Speaker 12: and Mason Graham and Malik Collins and how they're able 507 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,280 Speaker 12: to impact the defensive line and then let that trickle 508 00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:14,800 Speaker 12: back into the linebackers in the secondary. 509 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,719 Speaker 8: Yeah, compliments everybody.
