1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:01,880 Speaker 1: What do you see from Jackson the last few weeks, 2 00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:05,680 Speaker 1: and the numbers kind of don't match what they were preconcussion. 3 00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:10,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, the big takeaway is we've got to do a 4 00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:15,680 Speaker 2: better job helping him when the plays find us collectively 5 00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:18,439 Speaker 2: as a group, whether it ends up being a you know, 6 00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:20,759 Speaker 2: miss assignment, whether it ends up being a drop, whether 7 00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:23,560 Speaker 2: it ends up being something along those lines. I think 8 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:26,720 Speaker 2: everyone's kind of got a unfortunately hand in that. It's 9 00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:29,280 Speaker 2: not just one person or one thing. We just have 10 00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:31,520 Speaker 2: to do a better job of as a unit of 11 00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:34,240 Speaker 2: being able to go out and play sound football and 12 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,920 Speaker 2: fundamentally just do what we've been doing, you know, up 13 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:42,960 Speaker 2: until this point consistently and and you know, making the 14 00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:45,199 Speaker 2: plays when they come our way. Whether it's whether it's 15 00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,320 Speaker 2: you know, a block up front, like I said, a drop, 16 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:51,360 Speaker 2: whether Jackson can make a better throw, better check, whatever 17 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:53,960 Speaker 2: it may be. It's not just one thing. I think 18 00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 2: that's more of a collective unit issue than anything else. 19 00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:58,800 Speaker 3: Darius has been a good receiver in this league for 20 00:00:58,920 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 3: a long time. 21 00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 2: They had some drop. 22 00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 3: Issues this year to that at some point, even with 23 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:05,320 Speaker 3: somebody who's had success and been in the league for 24 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:07,880 Speaker 3: a long time, does that just get mental at some point, 25 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,679 Speaker 3: like we just like you start thinking about the last 26 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 3: one when you're trying to get and. 27 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:17,399 Speaker 2: You know, obviously I can't speak for Sleigh, but that 28 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:19,200 Speaker 2: has to play a role in it in some way, 29 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,480 Speaker 2: shape or form. But again, when you have someone with 30 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 2: a track record that you know that he has with 31 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:28,399 Speaker 2: his ability to demonstrate to go and make plays just 32 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,480 Speaker 2: a matter of being able to kind of go and 33 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:34,039 Speaker 2: recalibrate and get back to get back to neutral, you know, 34 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:38,120 Speaker 2: when something unfortunate happens like that, and that's something that 35 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 2: that you know, slays a guy that we've been able 36 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 2: to count on since I've gotten here, and and that's 37 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 2: not going to change. That's cute. No, Uh yeah, he's 38 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 2: he's obviously when you know, kind of a unique situation. 39 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 2: Uh you know, that position in general just had to 40 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 2: be ready to go at a moment's notice, and and 41 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 2: you know, in a premier position, being able to go 42 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 2: out there and and not be noticed is really, uh, 43 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,960 Speaker 2: you know, a testament to him and his ability to prepare, 44 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 2: stay locked in and even though he may not be 45 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 2: getting all the reps during the week, but being able 46 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 2: to understand the game plan and still go out and 47 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 2: and you know, function at a high level. So Marcus 48 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 2: did a good job with that, got a whole week 49 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 2: to prepare and you know, looking forward to seeing him 50 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:27,639 Speaker 2: plants on it. 51 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 1: And what area did you expect him to be able 52 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 1: to build on that be better? Specifically? 53 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 2: I would say all of it. You know, it's coming 54 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 2: off the coming off the uh sideline cold, having to 55 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,960 Speaker 2: go in and execute against the defense that was multiple 56 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,360 Speaker 2: and its looks. You know he was he was clean 57 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 2: assignment wise, and was physical and did a good job 58 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,080 Speaker 2: and pass protection for the most part. So yeah, just 59 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:50,800 Speaker 2: looking to build on that collectively. I don't know if 60 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 2: there's one area where we're we're saying, hey, you've got 61 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 2: to get better here, but just going out and doing 62 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 2: it consistently and again, I always had a whole week 63 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,120 Speaker 2: to prepare to be able to go out and and 64 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:00,919 Speaker 2: play a high level. 65 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 3: I understand the focus is right now, But does Marcus 66 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 3: as we move forward, does he have guard tendencies too? 67 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 3: Does he have guard flexibit like you know what a 68 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 3: guard tackle looks like? Could he do you see that 69 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:12,239 Speaker 3: he could play both at. 70 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 1: Some pointles league? 71 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 2: Maybe? You know, right now we're we're focusing on making 72 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 2: sure we're getting him ready to go and play tackles, 73 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 2: so we don't have a ton of time to be 74 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 2: able to kind of go and and you know, put 75 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 2: him in the laboratory, if you will. But now looking 76 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 2: forward to him going up this week and playing against 77 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 2: a good front and you know, playing tackle. 78 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 1: For us, what do you make of the less or 79 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 1: no design runs for Jackson like the last few weeks. 80 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, again, I would say that while it 81 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 2: may not be transpiring throughout the game, I wouldn't say 82 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 2: that's necessarily the plan. Uh in terms of the different 83 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 2: calls and the different things that we have in the 84 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 2: game plan for him one reason or another, you know, 85 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 2: those may not have come off the call sheet. So 86 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 2: uh yeah, I would say, well, it's it's probably more 87 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 2: dictated on the game than anything else. 88 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 3: The thought obviously is that, you know, the conspiracy theorist 89 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 3: thought is like trying to protect him from himself with 90 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 3: all the guy that you're saying that that's not what's happening. 91 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,839 Speaker 2: Yeah. No, I mean, we can put our ten foil 92 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 2: hats on, but we you know, we're preparing the offense 93 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 2: and and Jackson to go out there and win. There's 94 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 2: nothing as far as as far as we need to 95 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,600 Speaker 2: protect him from himself. I mean, you guys watch the game. 96 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 2: You know, if we you know, you can't do that. 97 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 2: So I would say, like I said, it's it's more 98 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 2: dictated on how the games have gone and maybe some 99 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 2: of the opponents that we played and the structures that 100 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 2: that they've presented that maybe lean to that. 101 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,839 Speaker 1: Have you seen teams do more to limit his scrambling 102 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 1: a bit. 103 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:48,919 Speaker 3: Whether it's just. 104 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 2: That that's probably you know, to be expected when when 105 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,719 Speaker 2: you come out and you know, put the stuff on 106 00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 2: tape that he put on tape, teams are are going 107 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 2: to treat you a little bit different. So you know, 108 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,600 Speaker 2: that's that's a part of it, in terms of how 109 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 2: they're rushing him, being more focused on keeping him in 110 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,719 Speaker 2: the pocket and doing things along those lines. So yeah, 111 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:15,279 Speaker 2: but anytime you know, you put enough tape out there 112 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 2: of of you know, excelling at something in this league, 113 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 2: teams are going to try to. 114 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 1: Take take that away from you to try to slow 115 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:22,160 Speaker 1: it down. 116 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 2: I mean, there's multiple things that that he's shown. You know, 117 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:29,479 Speaker 2: you look at at how we played Jalen a couple 118 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 2: of weeks ago. He utilized some spies, utilized some different 119 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 2: techniques up front, So you know, he's been in this 120 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:35,919 Speaker 2: league a long time and he's been calling players at 121 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 2: a high level. So I'm sure I'll have some wrinkles 122 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 2: for us here on on Sunday afternoon,
