1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:06,080 Speaker 1: Obviously the record, just just your thoughts and immediate emotions. 2 00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:10,600 Speaker 2: Just obviously, I'm so fired up for the kid. I mean, 3 00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:13,400 Speaker 2: it's a it's something he had been working on. We 4 00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:16,599 Speaker 2: talked last week about, uh, just kind of what he 5 00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:19,959 Speaker 2: had put into that bye week, how much pressure he 6 00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:23,520 Speaker 2: puts on himself. Uh, And I just felt that, you know, 7 00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:25,159 Speaker 2: I felt like he was in good shape, and I 8 00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:29,040 Speaker 2: was expecting a great game by him. You know, James 9 00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:31,080 Speaker 2: and I both had a conversation before the game, and 10 00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:34,320 Speaker 2: I told him, I think he's gonna have a spectacular game. 11 00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,000 Speaker 2: I didn't know would be record breaking. I wish I 12 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,440 Speaker 2: could have called that, but Uh, I was expecting to 13 00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:41,239 Speaker 2: have a good game because I saw where he was 14 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:43,839 Speaker 2: at and uh and we just he's so talented and 15 00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:45,960 Speaker 2: he's such a great kid. It was just cool moment 16 00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:49,040 Speaker 2: for the for him, it was a cool moment for 17 00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:53,239 Speaker 2: the Specialist in general. Those three guys work together like brothers, UH, 18 00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:55,160 Speaker 2: and they love each other, and they spend so much 19 00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,959 Speaker 2: time together. They have so much invested interest in each 20 00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:01,400 Speaker 2: other on the field and off the field. And then 21 00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,759 Speaker 2: you saw the reaction from the players and the energy 22 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 2: it brought, and it just shows you how much they 23 00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,160 Speaker 2: care for him. But it's just the team, you know. 24 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,119 Speaker 2: It just shows you what our teams like around here 25 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,880 Speaker 2: and what the world we're going. There was a big 26 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,600 Speaker 2: momentum factor in that game going in a halftime. I 27 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:18,560 Speaker 2: feel like we were a different team coming out at half. 28 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:20,760 Speaker 2: So it was really cool, Uh to just be a 29 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:22,560 Speaker 2: part of it and be an impact, you know, on 30 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,480 Speaker 2: the on the win. Anytime special teams can be an 31 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 2: impact in a good way. 32 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:27,679 Speaker 3: I love it. 33 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 2: Well. As he kicked it, it sounded good. The first thing 34 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 2: I look at typically is the returner deep and when 35 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 2: I see a guy go back there, that makes a 36 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 2: coach a little nervous because it is the possibly of 37 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 2: a return. The one thing I did look for him 38 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 2: as he as the ball was kicked, he didn't move. 39 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:52,280 Speaker 2: And when he didn't move, to me, that mant it 40 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 2: was online. And that was the first thing I looked at, 41 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 2: was it was online. I felt pretty good, pretty comfortable 42 00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 2: because I knew he had the leg strength to get there. 43 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 2: And then and then feeling Logan's reaction, I think about 44 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 2: halfway down the field, uh to see to feel kind 45 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,640 Speaker 2: of some of the guys could see it. That was 46 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,359 Speaker 2: it felt good. And again it was just good to see. 47 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 2: It was cool to see a cool moment for. 48 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,359 Speaker 4: Us, the conversation like on the sidel like him said, 49 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 4: he told before the drive he got to the fift there. 50 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:22,959 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's something we set the lines pregame 51 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 2: and and and we have a good idea what that 52 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 2: looks like. And and you know, we have a line, 53 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 2: you know that we started with. And then he you know, 54 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,520 Speaker 2: he told me before, you know, at the fifty and I, 55 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 2: of course I communicate that with coach and as always 56 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,960 Speaker 2: before that drive, I mentioned that again we have a line. 57 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 2: But he did say the fifty, he said, if he 58 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 2: gets into the fifty, uh, you know, he said, he 59 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 2: wants it. Of course it goes on second down, and 60 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,799 Speaker 2: then of course it comes up again and he goes Heath, 61 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 2: what do you think? And as I looked to see, 62 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 2: I said, he wants it. And as I looked at 63 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 2: to communicate with Camas, I normally he would to see 64 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 2: if he really wants it. He was already walking on 65 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 2: the field. And I think that told us enough what 66 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 2: he was, what his plan was, and and he kind 67 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,080 Speaker 2: of looked at me with a smirk and a smile. 68 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,240 Speaker 2: And I said, Coach, he wants it, So it was great. 69 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:12,679 Speaker 3: It was cool. 70 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,919 Speaker 2: I mean, you know, it's the classic, you know, after 71 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 2: him not playing to it to his best the last 72 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 2: few games. You know, you know, I'm sure some people 73 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 2: probably were hoping for a you know, a nice short 74 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,520 Speaker 2: one and easy one. Let's send him out there for 75 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 2: the record break and see what he can do with that. 76 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,960 Speaker 2: But I guess it just shows you the belief in him, 77 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,640 Speaker 2: the you know, the belief in himself to never waiver, 78 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 2: nobody wavered here. That's the cool thing. Everybody's you know, 79 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 2: no one lost confidence. And and so you're I had 80 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 2: no problem sending him out there. It sounds crazy to 81 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 2: send him out there and that and that, you know, circumstance, 82 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 2: but we we we knew everyone believed he can make it. 83 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 5: Got this, uh, get the scale, old kid from Arkansas. 84 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 3: And if you look at the sidelines, obviously everybody's. 85 00:03:58,640 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 4: Gonna be excited. 86 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 6: But you know, it was a race between Josh and coach. 87 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 6: See you can get to him first. Devin Lloyd was 88 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 6: jumping around like he was a little kid at Christmas time. 89 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 6: I thought, Jonah Manham's gonna swallow him up. 90 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,799 Speaker 3: But what does it say about Cam and his relationship 91 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 3: with the. 92 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,720 Speaker 6: Team that these guys seem to really like him and 93 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 6: embrace him, and and it doesn't matter what he makes 94 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 6: a kick or not. 95 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:25,600 Speaker 3: They were there for him when he was missing. They 96 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 3: love him to death. 97 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 2: I mean, he's a He's not like one of those 98 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,280 Speaker 2: you know, a lot of times when you have specialists, 99 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 2: they can be weird at times. He's one of the 100 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 2: most popular guys on this team. And I think from 101 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:40,559 Speaker 2: a specialist perspective, that's not super normal. Uh, We're fortunate 102 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:42,920 Speaker 2: here we have three good ones that that that's the case. 103 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 2: But I think he's so lovable. I think everyone loves Cam. 104 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 2: They love his personality, they love his focus when it 105 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 2: comes to his craft. They know he puts more time 106 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:55,040 Speaker 2: than anybody. And I think it's I think he's just 107 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,600 Speaker 2: they just love him to death. And I saw that 108 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 2: from the first time I went and worked him out 109 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 2: when he was still at Arkansas. You know, we went 110 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:04,920 Speaker 2: to dinner together and it was something i'd right away. 111 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,279 Speaker 2: I'm like, this guy has it he there's something about 112 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:13,359 Speaker 2: this kid. You just love him to death. Yeah, it 113 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,039 Speaker 2: usually is and and you know, and there's times when, uh, 114 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 2: you know. I I even ask him on game, you know, 115 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 2: on game day or mid game, how was that? How 116 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,040 Speaker 2: did he hit it? And he has a good feel 117 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 2: of the sound, the feel how it got off, just 118 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,600 Speaker 2: because he's the closest to it. And it's honest, I mean, 119 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:29,919 Speaker 2: he's the last person to touch it. 120 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:30,720 Speaker 7: Uh. 121 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 2: And and and he's so talented, uh and it has 122 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,599 Speaker 2: so much experience. He has the ability that he knows 123 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 2: right away. I think he knows when he hits it 124 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 2: clean and uh. Again, he has a he's the first 125 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 2: guy to see it emill maybe not. 126 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,480 Speaker 3: Return coming off the sidelines. What does that say about him? 127 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:47,239 Speaker 3: And then just the work you guys do in practice 128 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 3: and have manyparent I think it's great. 129 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 2: I mean, I think that's cool. Like I said, credit 130 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 2: to him, obviously, didn't you know he gets reps in practice, 131 00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:57,919 Speaker 2: but a lot of times those are not you know, 132 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 2: obviously he's not planning on playing in that game, especially 133 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,719 Speaker 2: in the overtime, but he prepares every single day. 134 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 3: You know, he's on. 135 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,920 Speaker 2: Practice squad most of the season. Never wavered his uh, 136 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:13,160 Speaker 2: you know, his buy in, never wavered on uh preparing 137 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,239 Speaker 2: like he was gonna play week one to even this weekend, 138 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 2: so he was ready, and and and the fact that 139 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,280 Speaker 2: he hit it downhill he broke a tackle, and then 140 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 2: the guy's blocking for him that they blocked it up 141 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:28,000 Speaker 2: really clean. That was very Again it was credit to 142 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 2: the guy's blocking for him as well of just clean blocks. Sound, 143 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:34,920 Speaker 2: you know, just everything was super fundamentally sound. 144 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 3: It was perfect. 145 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 2: And the ay, yes, he was watching it live. You 146 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:47,600 Speaker 2: know it's ah, he's very very talented as well. And 147 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 2: you know it's like we were watching it kind of 148 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 2: going no way now, We're gonna no way, not for 149 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 2: one day. But there's so many talented kickers. You know, 150 00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 2: this is a this is a record that wouldn't surprise me, 151 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 2: uh if it gets broke again and and and hopefully 152 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,480 Speaker 2: our guy, like I said, our guy can break it again. 153 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 2: So there's gonna be people going after that record. And 154 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,360 Speaker 2: and because these kickers are so talented. 155 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 8: Fun Raiders flot kickoff returns last week against you guys. 156 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 3: They did a really good job. 157 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 2: They had a good plan and and give credit to 158 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 2: to to McMahon, he's a heck of a football coach. 159 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 2: I thought they had a really good plan. And then 160 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 2: and ultimately comes back to us, I got to do 161 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 2: a better job of really getting back to the details 162 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 2: of getting off blocks. We do a good job of 163 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 2: leveraging him. Now we've got to get back to the 164 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 2: fundamentals of getting out blocks, pad level down, uh more, 165 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 2: knock back at point of attack. So there are things. 166 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:44,880 Speaker 2: These are things that we work on a good amount, 167 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 2: but I got to emphasize them more and and and 168 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 2: that's on me. So we'll work on that this week. 169 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 2: There's there's no question about that. 170 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 4: It's havings this year changed. 171 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 7: Anything at all. 172 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 2: I think it is the guys more time to do it. 173 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 2: As far as the ball, they prepare the exact same way. 174 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 2: He just has more time to do it. So as 175 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 2: far as the football perspective, they don't do anything different 176 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,840 Speaker 2: with the you know, they don't do anything different other 177 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:10,040 Speaker 2: than it's more time to do it. 178 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 3: He was thinking about continuing to use the. 179 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 2: Ball and Logan had to kind of talk time to. 180 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 3: Reason. 181 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 2: He's like the big brother. 182 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 3: They all listen to. 183 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 2: Thank you, thank you. 184 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 9: To get there. Yeah, I think with that, there were 185 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 9: times we changed it up, try and play some man covers, 186 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 9: just to get on them a little bit tighter. 187 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 5: And obviously they made a couple of plays. 188 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:42,559 Speaker 9: You know, in man to man against us, we had 189 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 9: one miscommunication there that got us. But yeah, you're just 190 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,200 Speaker 9: trying to spin it around, moving around a little bit. 191 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,320 Speaker 9: When that's the case, if they're taking a duncan like 192 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,200 Speaker 9: you said, and they're really in the types of zones 193 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 9: that you play, there are some more match ear zones 194 00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 9: you know. 195 00:08:57,960 --> 00:08:58,840 Speaker 5: Uh that you can go to. 196 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 9: But that's that's usually what the that's really where the 197 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 9: onus shifts you. 198 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 8: Prepare for a quarterback, and they started to see. 199 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 9: Yeah, back to his old tape and then obviously, you 200 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,080 Speaker 9: know last week against Denver, you get a pretty good 201 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 9: idea you know of who he is and and how 202 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 9: he operates. 203 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 5: But good player. 204 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,560 Speaker 9: He's athletic, you know in terms of uh being able 205 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:23,320 Speaker 9: to move in the pocket. 206 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 5: And get the ball. 207 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:25,960 Speaker 9: He's an accurate thrower, you know, get the ball to 208 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 9: their playmakers. So that's still a challenge and looks like 209 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 9: a guy that is obviously very decisive and has been 210 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 9: there quite a while. 211 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 6: Hold as much value. 212 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 8: It was a different offense. 213 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:38,600 Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, just to watch the player, you do 214 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:42,199 Speaker 9: definitely go back and look at that, but yeah, systematically 215 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,840 Speaker 9: it doesn't hold hold as much value but yeah, but 216 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:46,600 Speaker 9: definitely to watch the guys and kind of see their 217 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:47,080 Speaker 9: skill set. 218 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:50,320 Speaker 4: For sure, very Trumb's obviously done some good things, but 219 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 4: we'll getting Devin back. 220 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:54,240 Speaker 9: Kind of mean you guys, Yeah, that's that's a big 221 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,320 Speaker 9: part of everything we were able to do earlier in 222 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 9: the year, because when I was talking about him in 223 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 9: the past is more I think Devin really is capable 224 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:05,440 Speaker 9: of doing a lot of things, you know, whether it's 225 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 9: the pass covers, the pass rush, playing in the box 226 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 9: as a linebacker and then playing on the ball. 227 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:13,760 Speaker 5: It is really just a unique skill set that way. 228 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:16,200 Speaker 9: So it gives us a little bit more in terms 229 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 9: of options things that you can do, and he definitely presents. 230 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 5: Some problems for the offense for sure. 231 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 10: This is the first time travesling the nine arts kind of. 232 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 9: Yeah, then whenever you lose guys in the season, you know, 233 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,560 Speaker 9: when you're going into a game plan with one idea 234 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 9: and then things shift or change, you're feeling out to 235 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 9: do what you think is the best or use the 236 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 9: best options possible, I would say at that point, but 237 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:45,839 Speaker 9: trav I felt like it was doing a really good 238 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 9: job and some of the man and man stuff. Also 239 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,319 Speaker 9: on third down because the thing with him is he's 240 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,560 Speaker 9: got ball skills. So it's a challenge to throw the 241 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 9: ball at a guy like that because he can go ahead 242 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:56,320 Speaker 9: and make a play. 243 00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,320 Speaker 5: He's got a very top star, you know, and and 244 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:00,320 Speaker 5: changing the direction. 245 00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 9: So that's what makes him really elite in my opinion 246 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 9: as a defensive back. So yeah, losing them, you lose 247 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 9: a little bit there, and you try and shift the 248 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:16,000 Speaker 9: guys into positions as best you can. About Kobe Myers, 249 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,839 Speaker 9: so it's funny. I was talking to him yesterday when 250 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,000 Speaker 9: I was in Miami. We played him like twice a 251 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,320 Speaker 9: year when he was in New England. You know, I'm like, 252 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 9: this guy is a total pain in the ass, Like 253 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:31,120 Speaker 9: he just catches everything and he blocks everybody, you know 254 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:32,640 Speaker 9: what I mean, Like he were going there and you 255 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:36,440 Speaker 9: got guys like an eleven personnel zero receivers usually getting 256 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,560 Speaker 9: in there and MDM and the safety and I mean 257 00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:41,920 Speaker 9: he going there like damn fullback, you know. So I 258 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,000 Speaker 9: always had a lot of respect for him as a player, 259 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 9: and Coach A gets him in college too, actually, but 260 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:52,560 Speaker 9: he's really like when you look at receivers, he's such 261 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 9: a do you value guys like that so much? You 262 00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,240 Speaker 9: know what I mean, They go and make contested catches 263 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:00,560 Speaker 9: and he's he's tough. I always felt like that it 264 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:02,360 Speaker 9: was it was a hard guy to defend when we're 265 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,280 Speaker 9: in Miami because there could be two guys at the 266 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:07,320 Speaker 9: point of attack, and he really attacked the football and 267 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:08,760 Speaker 9: going up in the air for the ball a lot 268 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 9: of times. I remember he made some made a couple 269 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 9: of sick catches against us that I'm definitely over by now. 270 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:17,360 Speaker 9: But uh, but yeah, he's happy to have here. 271 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:17,520 Speaker 7: Man. 272 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:21,320 Speaker 5: He's awesome. Dude too, does a lot of the dirty work. 273 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 4: Probably doesn't get the shine, must he's got the golden 274 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 4: hand after the last week. I meant to this defense. 275 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 10: Everybody on our defense loves them, but I think we 276 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 10: probably gets lost for us as a defense right now 277 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:40,120 Speaker 10: at this point, we've been pretty good to this point 278 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 10: in the run game. 279 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 5: I think we made a significant jump throughout the course of. 280 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,640 Speaker 9: The season, and I would say he is as big 281 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:49,199 Speaker 9: a part of that as anybody. 282 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 5: You know. You say, like, he does a lot of 283 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:52,240 Speaker 5: the dirty work. 284 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 9: He plays double teams, uh, you know, all day and 285 00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 9: he plays him as good as anybody I've been around 286 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 9: and coaching in the front and coaching the run game 287 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 9: over the years. I think he's you know, as good 288 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:07,199 Speaker 9: as anybody we've had, and he gives us the opportunity 289 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 9: to do that and play with depth of the defense 290 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,800 Speaker 9: because that guy's able to gap people. And that really 291 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:17,200 Speaker 9: comes down to, like you said, a selflessness and he 292 00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,240 Speaker 9: really is a technician. You know, if you got any 293 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 9: love for people who got love for watching d line 294 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:25,439 Speaker 9: play and guys you know, playing blocks and whipping blocks. 295 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,319 Speaker 5: He's done a great job for us that way this year. 296 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,560 Speaker 9: A couple of the media guys when they come in 297 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 9: on you know, we're talking about the game on Sunday, 298 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 9: and he definitely jumps out to them as well. And 299 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,080 Speaker 9: he made a huge play for us the other day 300 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:40,160 Speaker 9: in the past game was you know, game changing play. 301 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:42,720 Speaker 5: So I love that dude.

He's just kind of like, uh, always 310 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 9: talking about business for the most part, you know what 311 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:06,400 Speaker 9: I mean, and like how we can uh get it 312 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:07,040 Speaker 9: better and where we. 313 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 5: Can improve, what we can take advantage of next game. 314 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 9: He's about as selfless a player as you're going to 315 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:16,840 Speaker 9: run into.

So that's been really refreshing just being around 319 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:31,600 Speaker 9: a guy like that. And you know, obviously I'm happy 320 00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:33,480 Speaker 9: for him, but I don't feel like he in any 321 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:37,400 Speaker 9: way is satisfied, but he's excited to get going again. 322 00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 3: What was that kind of challenges that presents. 323 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 9: Yeah, you you really got to do a good job 324 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 9: at the point of attack. Usually, you feel like most 325 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:50,680 Speaker 9: of the times in the NFL, where if you have 326 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 9: defensive ends on a tight end more often than not, 327 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:55,960 Speaker 9: especially if that guy is more of a pass catcher, 328 00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:58,360 Speaker 9: you should have a one up on him there in 329 00:14:58,400 --> 00:14:58,840 Speaker 9: the run game. 330 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:00,440 Speaker 5: You know, we talk about that all the time. 331 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,560 Speaker 9: When you play with heavy personnels, they try and make 332 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,360 Speaker 9: it a more obviously they're trying to create a stalemate 333 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 9: there right, you know, and not give you the edge. 334 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:11,400 Speaker 9: So you got to be a technician in your technique, 335 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:13,240 Speaker 9: especially in the run game, you know, and it's gonna 336 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:14,680 Speaker 9: make you work in the past game they keep those 337 00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 9: guys in and six man seven man protections, you're working 338 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 9: against an offensive. 339 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 5: Tackle again, you know. 340 00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 9: So that's also part of the reason why guys do it, 341 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:24,560 Speaker 9: and that's the challenge of it. 342 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:29,000 Speaker 4: Full last game early How hard is it to replace. 343 00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:30,680 Speaker 8: Not necessarily the player of a few of them, the. 344 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:32,400 Speaker 4: Leadership that he brings in the game in this league. 345 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 9: Yeah, he's such a like you know, savvy vet too, 346 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,360 Speaker 9: you know what I mean. He just kind of understands everything, 347 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:41,960 Speaker 9: and he's done a great job of trying to prepare 348 00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:44,560 Speaker 9: the guys behind him throughout the whole year, you know. 349 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:48,160 Speaker 9: And I think his relationship with Jarian is pretty cool 350 00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 9: to see. You know, he's always there. They're always kind 351 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:54,400 Speaker 9: of working together, talking ball together. Christian braswell, same way. 352 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,280 Speaker 9: So he's done a great job. And like in the game, 353 00:15:58,400 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 9: you know, the guy gets hurt. I think the first 354 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:04,160 Speaker 9: there can play the game, and he was right behind 355 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,600 Speaker 9: me the entire game talking to the other guys, like 356 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:08,600 Speaker 9: literally you could hear him. I can hear them talking 357 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,480 Speaker 9: behind me and communicating some of the stuff that you're 358 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:13,560 Speaker 9: talking about getting ready for in the game plan during 359 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,920 Speaker 9: the week, and he's behind you seeing it. So he 360 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,800 Speaker 9: didn't he didn't step away totally from the game when 361 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 9: he went down, you know, as bad as he felt. 362 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:25,440 Speaker 9: So I have so much respect for him, love coaching him, 363 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,360 Speaker 9: and it's awesome to have a guy like that though, 364 00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:29,960 Speaker 9: like for our team, it's awesome for all the other players, 365 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:30,840 Speaker 9: especially in that room. 366 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:35,240 Speaker 5: Have that dude all right, especially thank you. 367 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:36,800 Speaker 3: The other sideline last week. 368 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:38,200 Speaker 5: What do you think about looking. 369 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:40,480 Speaker 3: Really excited about what he can add. 370 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,120 Speaker 7: The presence and the type of person is first and 371 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 7: foremost for the room will be a huge addition for 372 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 7: those guys to get around. A guy who's been experienced, 373 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,360 Speaker 7: a competitive guy who works and is focused and really 374 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 7: tries to master his craft in so many ways. And 375 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 7: then similar things that Liam and James have talked about. 376 00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,400 Speaker 7: A guy who plays strong, strong handed, strong in the 377 00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 7: run game, strong at the top of his route, strong 378 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,320 Speaker 7: getting off the ball. He does that at a high level, 379 00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 7: and then he still has the ability to separate underneath, 380 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:07,679 Speaker 7: can run some all you know, really routes at all 381 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,159 Speaker 7: three levels, third level, second level, and first level routes, 382 00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:12,679 Speaker 7: so he'll be a good guy who can play inside outside. 383 00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,560 Speaker 7: That versatility is huge for the offense, especially as you 384 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:17,560 Speaker 7: kind of piece things together and find different roles from 385 00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:18,359 Speaker 7: in the middle of the season. 386 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,640 Speaker 6: Ran on the somewhere at some point in the second half, 387 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:23,359 Speaker 6: or maybe when you're looking at the game on film, 388 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:27,200 Speaker 6: do you think yourself, second and no penalties really good? 389 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,920 Speaker 6: Third back conversion rate to run a pass is pretty 390 00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 6: much balanced, no offensive penalties. Did you think this is 391 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 6: what this is supposed to look like? 392 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:40,720 Speaker 7: It's certainly what we've been striving towards, and we came 393 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:42,760 Speaker 7: off of the self scout and there are so many 394 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,200 Speaker 7: things to improve, but the thing that always stands out 395 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:48,000 Speaker 7: is how much we had beat ourselves in certain games. 396 00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:50,480 Speaker 7: The times that we struggled, it's because of those things 397 00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:54,560 Speaker 7: you mentioned penalties, you know, screwing up assignments, things here 398 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,440 Speaker 7: and there where we get off schedule, and being able 399 00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:59,440 Speaker 7: to stay out of those and just play clean football. 400 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:01,680 Speaker 7: You see what the guys are capable of when they're 401 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:03,680 Speaker 7: in normal situations, just able to go out there and 402 00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,520 Speaker 7: play and execute. It's so hard to live in those 403 00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,680 Speaker 7: situations where you shoot yourself and put yourself behind the sticks. 404 00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:12,600 Speaker 7: So that's absolutely what we're trying to be on a 405 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,520 Speaker 7: consistent basis and continue to be more explosive as we 406 00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:19,000 Speaker 7: have opportunities that are created by staying on schedule. But 407 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,080 Speaker 7: it was nice to see a string together, a couple 408 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:23,600 Speaker 7: of drives of what we've been working towards pretty much 409 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:24,440 Speaker 7: since the end of the year. 410 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:28,800 Speaker 6: And with the injuries, with this offenses operating compete efficiently, 411 00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:30,760 Speaker 6: you can't be like a plug and play situation. Can 412 00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 6: you survive injuries and guys still what to do, can 413 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,200 Speaker 6: run what you want to run, and you know it 414 00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:39,399 Speaker 6: doesn't look like a play will change a whole lot. 415 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:40,840 Speaker 3: When you had Tim Jones out there. 416 00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:42,920 Speaker 7: Yeah, I think that's a credit to him. And it's 417 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:46,520 Speaker 7: really it's really dependent on the guys. Who is the 418 00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:48,800 Speaker 7: guy going in and what spot is he trying to 419 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:51,000 Speaker 7: fill in for. There are certain guys that you're never 420 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,520 Speaker 7: going to be able to replace, But guys when they 421 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:55,919 Speaker 7: prepare to play different positions and when they have the 422 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,520 Speaker 7: skill set to play different positions, it keeps that playbook 423 00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:00,640 Speaker 7: more open than it might be at certain positions where 424 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:02,919 Speaker 7: you have to limit things down. Now, there's always going 425 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,480 Speaker 7: to be certain plays that are designed for a specialty, 426 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,840 Speaker 7: specialty players or specialty looks, and you have to adjust 427 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:11,280 Speaker 7: those or take those out, and just how you're going 428 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,320 Speaker 7: to call the game accordingly. But when you have guys 429 00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 7: that prepare the way Tim prepares, per the way Trammel prepares, 430 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:18,240 Speaker 7: and those guys are able to step in in a 431 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,639 Speaker 7: big situation and go out there and execute, it makes 432 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 7: life a lot easier on everyone else around them and 433 00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:24,200 Speaker 7: the play calor because you can go in there and 434 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,439 Speaker 7: really run the offense too. 435 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:28,520 Speaker 5: Kind of an effective goal line option. 436 00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:30,520 Speaker 7: For you guys in yet well, I think his strength 437 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:32,760 Speaker 7: and his contact balance. You see a lot of yards 438 00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,400 Speaker 7: after contact. Very few times you see him finishing runs 439 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:38,760 Speaker 7: going backwards, and that's huge at the goal line, short yardage, 440 00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,280 Speaker 7: any run really, but it's especially a parent on those 441 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:44,919 Speaker 7: where you need one one hard run, one hard yard 442 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:46,720 Speaker 7: or a hard run, and he goes out there and 443 00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:48,640 Speaker 7: is able to get it. On looks that aren't always clean, 444 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,440 Speaker 7: there's oftentimes a guy where they you know they've outnumbered 445 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:53,200 Speaker 7: yet so there's a guy there at the point of attack, 446 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:54,960 Speaker 7: and you've got to be able to run right to 447 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:56,919 Speaker 7: a shoulder tackle or run right through an arm tackle 448 00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,680 Speaker 7: and his strength and ability to accelerate upon receiving the 449 00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:02,359 Speaker 7: balls is what makes him, you know, an asset there. 450 00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,679 Speaker 8: Well, Ken, how many reps that had taken practice for 451 00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,960 Speaker 8: you guys to feel comfortable stamming at the travels having 452 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:09,880 Speaker 8: him make the decision. 453 00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:13,439 Speaker 7: Well, like Liam mentioned it, it's over the course of 454 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 7: weeks of getting all of those reps. I don't know 455 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,520 Speaker 7: if I could pinpoint in exact time where you say, okay, now, 456 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:21,920 Speaker 7: now you're exactly one hundred percent comfortable, But it certainly 457 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:25,840 Speaker 7: wasn't the first time. But after a couple of weeks 458 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:27,840 Speaker 7: with a guy like that, who who is able to 459 00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:31,440 Speaker 7: learn and do things at a high level, do new things, especially, 460 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,280 Speaker 7: you feel pretty confident after a couple of reps when 461 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,080 Speaker 7: he does it at consistently at a high level and 462 00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:39,040 Speaker 7: is able to execute cleanly. Of course, we were trying 463 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:41,280 Speaker 7: to mitigate as much risk as possible, so we probably 464 00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:43,720 Speaker 7: over prepared and made sure that we had more reps 465 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:45,880 Speaker 7: than maybe we needed. But after a couple of good 466 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:47,400 Speaker 7: reps and seeing those guys do it, and really him 467 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 7: practicing with a couple of different guys and a couple 468 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,840 Speaker 7: different iterations of it, felt good about showing those plays 469 00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:53,439 Speaker 7: and you know, going out there and executing them in 470 00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:55,040 Speaker 7: some crunch crunch time moments. 471 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:56,880 Speaker 3: Excuse me on Sunday, out. 472 00:20:56,760 --> 00:21:01,000 Speaker 1: President or out present, I should say, are you homes 473 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:08,040 Speaker 1: and our new those greaty games to rushing touchdowns is compresses. 474 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:11,639 Speaker 7: Yeah, it's it's another thing when we talk about the 475 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:12,879 Speaker 7: guys being able to go in there and play, and 476 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,160 Speaker 7: it's kind of a testament third preparation. It's a testament 477 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:17,600 Speaker 7: to the identity of the offense and the group as 478 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,439 Speaker 7: a collective hole that that's who they are, that's the 479 00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:22,400 Speaker 7: way they win games, that's the way they practice, that's 480 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:25,600 Speaker 7: the way they work. And nobody was phased when we 481 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:27,239 Speaker 7: were down or even in the first half when we 482 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:30,560 Speaker 7: were playing ugly. We didn't start to play cleaner football 483 00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:32,720 Speaker 7: until we got into the late second quarter into the 484 00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,840 Speaker 7: second half, and the guys were resilient with their mindset 485 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:38,800 Speaker 7: and their effort and their finish every single play. And 486 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 7: that's really the identity that we're trying to build, and 487 00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:42,679 Speaker 7: that's who they kind of embody out there on the field. 488 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,440 Speaker 7: So you know, that's something that takes a lot of work, 489 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:46,879 Speaker 7: and it's the way they practice It's who they are 490 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:48,560 Speaker 7: every day. It's not something that you just show up 491 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:50,040 Speaker 7: on Sunday and say, I'm gonna flip the switch and 492 00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:51,560 Speaker 7: now all of a sudden, we're gonna play really hard 493 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:53,600 Speaker 7: and be able to win grimy games. They're going to 494 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:55,160 Speaker 7: go in there and work every day to have that, 495 00:21:55,520 --> 00:22:01,959 Speaker 7: you know, outcome be possible on Sunday a lot. I 496 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,520 Speaker 7: think we've talked about it a couple of times, with 497 00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:07,199 Speaker 7: the versatility of a couple of different offensive linemen, and 498 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:10,040 Speaker 7: really throughout the spring and training camp, guys playing left, 499 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,600 Speaker 7: guy's playing right, guys playing inside of guard, playing outside 500 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,360 Speaker 7: of tackle, he's taking snaps, he's played all five positions 501 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:17,439 Speaker 7: on the offensive line, and then he's running back and 502 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,239 Speaker 7: forth on and off the field report and as an 503 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,159 Speaker 7: eligible tight end. You know, however many times it was 504 00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:24,760 Speaker 7: fifteen twenty times in the game and then goes in 505 00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:25,520 Speaker 7: there and plays guard. 506 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:27,399 Speaker 3: That's not easy to do. To switch positions. 507 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:29,639 Speaker 7: It's a totally different world being on the edge and 508 00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,080 Speaker 7: then going inside of guard. So not only to prepare 509 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:33,720 Speaker 7: to do both of those things, but then then it 510 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,000 Speaker 7: came to actually go out there and do it. I 511 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,080 Speaker 7: can't say enough good things about Cole and his effort 512 00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:39,880 Speaker 7: to prepare and then his effort actually on the field. 513 00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:41,600 Speaker 7: So a ton of trust in a guy like that. 514 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:44,680 Speaker 4: Which did the game play play already have to change 515 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:46,639 Speaker 4: at the end of the Raiders game just because of 516 00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,000 Speaker 4: the firstel you had available we were out of here 517 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:51,760 Speaker 4: last year receivers you basically at one healthy. 518 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:54,800 Speaker 8: Local line he had playing for him. 519 00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:56,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, how does that? 520 00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:57,439 Speaker 5: It? 521 00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:59,960 Speaker 7: Definitely, it definitely caused a little bit of chaos, But 522 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:01,920 Speaker 7: that's why you do all that preparation and go through 523 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,440 Speaker 7: every conditional pre game of Okay, what if this guy 524 00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:06,040 Speaker 7: goes down, what if that guy goes down? What if 525 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:08,040 Speaker 7: these three guys go down all at the same time, 526 00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,159 Speaker 7: And you try to have plans and backup plans and 527 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 7: backup plans to the backup plans of things you're going 528 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:12,760 Speaker 7: to get to. 529 00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:14,760 Speaker 3: Most games it doesn't show up. 530 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:16,959 Speaker 7: You do all that preparation every week, and then at 531 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:18,440 Speaker 7: the end of the game on Sunday, you're like, well 532 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:20,800 Speaker 7: you did hours and hours of preparation for different conditional 533 00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,879 Speaker 7: plans that never happened. This so happens to finally come up, 534 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,600 Speaker 7: and thankfully the guys and the coaching staff, the assistant 535 00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:29,680 Speaker 7: coaches did a great job, phenomenal job preparing their guys 536 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:32,400 Speaker 7: for all of those different roles, Tuma going in there 537 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:33,800 Speaker 7: at the end and playing tight end a bunch of 538 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:37,320 Speaker 7: different calls, so we were able to still call relatively 539 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:39,040 Speaker 7: normal game. There's always gonna be a couple of things 540 00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:42,080 Speaker 7: you take off the plate, just from a standpoint of 541 00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:44,760 Speaker 7: ease and execution. But because those guys had done so 542 00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:47,320 Speaker 7: much work preparing for all of the different things that 543 00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:50,520 Speaker 7: could happen, the coaches, the assistant position coaches, and the 544 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:53,080 Speaker 7: position coaches and the players, we were able to go 545 00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:54,879 Speaker 7: out there and execute a bunch of different plays that 546 00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:56,679 Speaker 7: we needed to plays we really needed to get to 547 00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:58,080 Speaker 7: at the end at a high level to go down 548 00:23:58,119 --> 00:23:59,080 Speaker 7: and win, which was huge. 549 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:03,040 Speaker 8: Staff. You have Trevor Bendelson, whose first year NFL guy. Yeah, 550 00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:05,240 Speaker 8: what do you remember about twenty twenty in your first 551 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,560 Speaker 8: NFL season? How about the foundations? 552 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:08,400 Speaker 3: Yeah? 553 00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 7: Mine was certainly a little bit different because of COVID, 554 00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:15,200 Speaker 7: so kind of through wrenching it, but you know, it's 555 00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:18,080 Speaker 7: it's a learning curve for sure, because there are there 556 00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:20,639 Speaker 7: are differences, probably more differences than I'd realized that at 557 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:21,960 Speaker 7: the time between college. 558 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,600 Speaker 3: Football and the NFL. I think people make a big 559 00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:25,320 Speaker 3: deal about. 560 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,600 Speaker 7: The differences in the players and say, well, these are professionals, 561 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:30,119 Speaker 7: those are college players, But the football on the grass 562 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:32,480 Speaker 7: and dealing with players is very similar in a lot 563 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:35,000 Speaker 7: of ways. You know, you still are formal relationships with 564 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,240 Speaker 7: the players, You still care deeply about these guys on 565 00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:40,040 Speaker 7: and off the field, and you still are so fired 566 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:41,600 Speaker 7: up when you see them go out there and succeed 567 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:43,960 Speaker 7: or execute something that they've been practicing at or working 568 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:46,080 Speaker 7: at for a long time. So a lot of those 569 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:49,720 Speaker 7: fundamental aspects of coaching remain the same. It was really 570 00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:52,919 Speaker 7: more of an adjustment to here's the schedule, the games 571 00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:55,160 Speaker 7: on Sunday. You have to different weekly flow. The off 572 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:56,960 Speaker 7: season is a little bit different. Now mine was crazy 573 00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,639 Speaker 7: because it was in COVID, so we were virtual. We 574 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:03,040 Speaker 7: weren't doing OTAs. Even training camp was a little bit different. 575 00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:08,320 Speaker 7: Everybody was separated for spacing purposes. But I think there's 576 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:10,280 Speaker 7: so many things that are similar from dealing with people 577 00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:13,080 Speaker 7: and coaching, like those foundational principles are the same, but 578 00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:16,760 Speaker 7: learning the schedule, new ways of doing things was definitely foreign. 579 00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,320 Speaker 7: I think the one thing that probably caught me. By surprise, 580 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:21,159 Speaker 7: more so than I would like to admit. Is you 581 00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,760 Speaker 7: get through a college season and you finish twelve games, 582 00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:25,520 Speaker 7: and then you look up and you're like, oh man, 583 00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:27,920 Speaker 7: we still got like five more and potentially even more 584 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:30,040 Speaker 7: games after this when you're ready to be done. We 585 00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:32,800 Speaker 7: came off to buy this past week or two weeks 586 00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 7: ago now at this point, and you really are looking 587 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:36,679 Speaker 7: at it from a guy who's a guy like Trevor 588 00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:38,760 Speaker 7: or a guy who's a rookie, and say, you still 589 00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:41,639 Speaker 7: have basically a whole college season left. 590 00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:42,800 Speaker 3: You just got to the bye weekend. 591 00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:44,760 Speaker 7: You have basically what you've been doing as an entire 592 00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,360 Speaker 7: season ready for the rest of the year. So that's 593 00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:49,720 Speaker 7: definitely a mindset shift in terms of how long the 594 00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 7: season is, those weeks kind of start to stack together. 595 00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:53,840 Speaker 3: It gets longer than you realize. 596 00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:58,440 Speaker 1: How wout just Houston Stevens improved even since we breed. 597 00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:02,840 Speaker 7: I mean the level that they're playing at. The numbers 598 00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:05,480 Speaker 7: speak for themselves. They've been they've been dominant in really 599 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:08,560 Speaker 7: all areas of the game. So they've improved. They were 600 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:10,560 Speaker 7: they were really good defense when we played in Week three. 601 00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,680 Speaker 7: Unfortunately for us, they've continued to improve right those guys 602 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,640 Speaker 7: fly to the ball, in coverage, the rush, the run, 603 00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:18,520 Speaker 7: game that the you know, they've been lights out. So 604 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,200 Speaker 7: it's hard to pinpoint one area that they've improved because 605 00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:22,880 Speaker 7: they're really they've improved in all phases. 606 00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:24,680 Speaker 3: I mean, you're not the top defense in the league 607 00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:26,359 Speaker 3: without really being solid across the board. 608 00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:27,720 Speaker 5: How can we get. 609 00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:33,480 Speaker 7: I think we got to continue to find the things 610 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:35,639 Speaker 7: that we do well and go out there and make 611 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:38,000 Speaker 7: sure we're prepared to execute those things at a high level. 612 00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:40,160 Speaker 7: And as coaches, we got to continue to find ways 613 00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:42,040 Speaker 7: to get guys to settle in and be able to 614 00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:45,160 Speaker 7: perform at the level we know they're capable of performing at. 615 00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:47,960 Speaker 7: You see the way they're you see what they're capable 616 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:49,760 Speaker 7: of at the end of the game when kind of 617 00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 7: the nerves wear out and they get into a rhythm. 618 00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:54,479 Speaker 7: So the challenge us is how can we get them 619 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:56,639 Speaker 7: in the best situation possible early, right away from the 620 00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:58,840 Speaker 7: get go, and make sure they feel comfortable to go 621 00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:01,280 Speaker 7: out there and execute right away. We know that they're 622 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:03,560 Speaker 7: capable of that, we're capable of getting into group, but 623 00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:05,360 Speaker 7: we got to continue to try to find ways, whether 624 00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:08,240 Speaker 7: it's schematically or different personnels or even the way we 625 00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:10,359 Speaker 7: prepare on Saturday or Friday at the end of the week, 626 00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:12,600 Speaker 7: when we start kind of dialing on how we want 627 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,320 Speaker 7: to start the game, changing up and doing more or 628 00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:17,840 Speaker 7: maybe doing lesser, or taking different avenues to prepare those 629 00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:19,000 Speaker 7: guys
