Injury front Alex Wright is 11 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,080 Speaker 2: you know, I'd say day to day with the quad injury. 12 00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:41,680 Speaker 2: We'll see how this week goes. Dylan Gabriel cleared concussion protocol. 13 00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 2: Aiden Huntington has that quad injury. Brendon Bates with the 14 00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,240 Speaker 2: ankle injury. I'd say both those guys are in the weeks, 15 00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:52,480 Speaker 2: so they'll out this week. We'll see how that goes 16 00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:55,120 Speaker 2: over the next couple of days of a better since 17 00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 2: obviously in the game, like we talked about, great to 18 00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:01,880 Speaker 2: get a road win for this football team, some really 19 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,640 Speaker 2: really good moments on all three sides of the ball, 20 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:06,679 Speaker 2: and now we got to build on it. We have 21 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:10,560 Speaker 2: to have a big one at our place. We're excited 22 00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:12,959 Speaker 2: to be back home in front of our fans versus 23 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,560 Speaker 2: a very good football team who's playing tonight. So we'll 24 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 2: do some TV scouting this evening, but we've got to 25 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:20,760 Speaker 2: be about our business this week, have a great week 26 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 2: of practice. With Thanksgiving week obviously, there's always different schedules 27 00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 2: and that type of thing, so we have to really 28 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,000 Speaker 2: be good about our process. This week will be a 29 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 2: big focus for us. Schardor will start this week. Obviously, 30 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,039 Speaker 2: you know, number one job of quarterback is to win, 31 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 2: so excited to get that first win under his belt. 32 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 2: And then next thing is improvement and that's what young 33 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 2: players do, certainly young quarterbacks. Do you get one game 34 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 2: better and that's just from from working at it. So 35 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 2: that'll be our focus. But with that, I'll take any questions. 36 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, well I was going to ask if Shador was 37 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 3: going to start, But now that you announced that for us, 38 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 3: just when you back and you looked at the film, 39 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 3: what were some of the things that you felt that 40 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 3: he really did good? Other than the obvious, we know 41 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 3: that he pushed the ball downfield a little bit, But 42 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 3: what were some of the other nuances of his game. 43 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,840 Speaker 2: Well, obviously, first start, for any young quarterback, you're always 44 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,639 Speaker 2: gonna make sure that the operation is how you want it. 45 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 2: And I thought by and large was good. There's things 46 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:22,920 Speaker 2: that we can clean up, and obviously that goes on 47 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 2: all of us as coaches, that's the players, the quarterback 48 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:27,359 Speaker 2: where we can clean up some. 49 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:27,920 Speaker 4: Of our operation. 50 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,919 Speaker 2: But I thought communication was really good throughout the day 51 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,920 Speaker 2: with him. And then, like you mentioned, the big plays 52 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 2: down the field. Obviously that first one to ib was, 53 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,360 Speaker 2: you know, very very high degree of difficulty with that play. 54 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 2: Are the things that he can do better? Absolutely, we've 55 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 2: already talked about that with him. He has the mentality 56 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 2: that he will, you know, make the adjustments to the 57 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 2: speed of the game, make the adjustments to what people 58 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 2: are giving us to make those improvements. 59 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 5: Hey, Kevin Tulder talked about how he didn't it took 60 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 5: him a while to get adjusted not being the starter, right, 61 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 5: there was a role that he was not used to. 62 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,360 Speaker 5: Could you see him get so much more comfortable last 63 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:07,079 Speaker 5: week when he's. 64 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:08,679 Speaker 4: Back in that role without a doubt? 65 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:12,079 Speaker 2: And I think again, there's such an adjustment for players 66 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 2: coming out of college, regardless of position. But think about 67 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 2: when you've started your whole life in high school and 68 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 2: college and then there is that transition and that comes 69 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 2: for everybody. But the message we always have around here 70 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 2: is you have to stay ready so you don't have 71 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,640 Speaker 2: to get ready. And the life of a backup player, 72 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 2: whether quarterback or otherwise, it's a grind. You really got 73 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 2: to work when nobody's watching in those type of things. Now, 74 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 2: once you do get that into that starter role, that's 75 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 2: when the reps come. That's when the game plan is 76 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 2: really built around your comfort level and those type of things. 77 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 2: So it's only natural that that players in that position. 78 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 4: Feel more comfortable. 79 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 2: And that's our job as coaches to continue to tweak 80 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 2: and adjust and make sure that we're leaning into what 81 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 2: our players do best. 82 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,160 Speaker 5: And how did you see him make a jump in 83 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 5: handling pressure slash blitzes yesterday from that Ravens game. 84 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 2: Well, obviously, like we talked about, made a big play 85 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 2: versus an all out pressure. That's gonna be something that 86 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 2: that you always have to anticipate. Defensive coordinators blitz young 87 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,160 Speaker 2: young quarterbacks. It's just what they do and we have 88 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,720 Speaker 2: to look at that as an opportunity, certainly in the 89 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 2: past game to make big plays. So that's a focus 90 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 2: for us moving forward. 91 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 6: Hey, Kevin, I'm going to ask you about Jerry Judy. 92 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 6: Were you pleased with his effort yesterday? Looked to me 93 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 6: like he really slowed down before he fumbled that ball. 94 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 2: I think he was setting the player in front of 95 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 2: him up to make a move there. Jeff, he can, 96 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 2: he will be better. That's that's really a play that 97 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 2: we expect him to make. That's a huge play for 98 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 2: our football team. We're about to get seven points, if 99 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,360 Speaker 2: not three on that drive, and that's a big play 100 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 2: for us. And Jerry knows this, and you know, we 101 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 2: remind him and remind our players. It's always the guy 102 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,279 Speaker 2: that you can't see that they're coming. So I don't 103 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:05,919 Speaker 2: think it was a loaf. It was a lack of 104 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 2: ball security technique. 105 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,600 Speaker 6: And then just to follow that though, when we talk 106 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 6: to him on Wednesday, he was very short with his answers. 107 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,360 Speaker 6: I know that that's not a big part for you, 108 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,719 Speaker 6: but his interview lasted less than two minutes and his 109 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:25,719 Speaker 6: words like three or foward answers. So is anything bothering him? 110 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 2: No? I think Jerry's got the right attitude. 111 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 4: He wants to win. 112 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:33,720 Speaker 2: Obviously, when you're not winning, that certainly can affect your 113 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 2: mood if you can imagine, But he's focused on winning. 114 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,040 Speaker 7: Hey, Kevin, I guess is there any point with Miles? 115 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,920 Speaker 7: Is there anything he can do that would surprise you? 116 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 7: And like Joel was even joking three sacks as it's 117 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,039 Speaker 7: kind of a down day for him at this point. 118 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:52,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, Like I talked to you guys before, I would say, 119 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,800 Speaker 2: watch Miles play the run and listen. I get that 120 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,039 Speaker 2: sacks get a ton of attention. You know, that's that's 121 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 2: our game. And know everybody knows the stats and the 122 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 2: records and all that thing, but man, we we focus 123 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 2: on playing sound, hard football. And I think if you 124 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 2: watch Miles play, watch him play the backside of the 125 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 2: run in that game where they tried to put a 126 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,280 Speaker 2: jet sweep in front of him, he closed and made 127 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,480 Speaker 2: the tackle. I mean that those are high, high level plays. 128 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 2: They don't get the same attention that the sacks may get, 129 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 2: but they're as important to us as anything. It's part 130 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 2: of our DNA is just playing really really hard. And 131 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,719 Speaker 2: you watch number ninety five out there, he is playing 132 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 2: really hard down and down out. 133 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 7: And then just looking at the interior guys on that 134 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 7: line and you know the fact that you're getting pressure 135 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:44,480 Speaker 7: from leak Mason. Mike Hall shall be like, is this 136 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 7: what you guys envision when Jim got here and wanting 137 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:53,040 Speaker 7: that interior pressure? And how has that impacted Miles and 138 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 7: really like enhanced his production too. 139 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,559 Speaker 2: I think whether it's inside or outside or opposite Miles 140 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,599 Speaker 2: or two Miles aside, I think think the relentless nature 141 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 2: of which these guys are playing is our DNA. That's 142 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 2: how we play. So we're what you're seeing is our 143 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 2: identity on display. And obviously, when you have a player 144 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 2: like Miles, he's going to get a lot of attention 145 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 2: to just watch that game or every game that the 146 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 2: tight end's going to which side he's on. The running 147 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 2: back oftentimes will make his way over there, the slide 148 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 2: may make its way to his side, So it only 149 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 2: presents opportunities for everybody else. And those are the effects 150 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 2: of having a player of Miles's caliber. 151 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 8: All right, Kevin, I know at this point the season 152 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 8: probably don't consider him rookies, but of all the rookies, 153 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 8: seem like nine of them had prominent games. I mean 154 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 8: all the touchdowns were in effect a combination of the 155 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 8: rookies the set up the touchdowns. Can you just talk 156 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,920 Speaker 8: about that group, especially on the offensive side. 157 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 2: Sure, you know, like we've talked to really all season long, Fred, 158 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 2: that these are players that we're counting on. These are 159 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 2: guys that we trust and they're wired the right way. 160 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,440 Speaker 2: And that's the thing that I get to see on 161 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 2: a everyday basis of how they approach their job, how 162 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 2: they go to work, how they work, how they work 163 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 2: on their craft, how they pushed each other, and then 164 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 2: obviously to make plays on Sundays is a result of 165 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 2: all that work. So it's fun for me as a 166 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 2: coach to see the development of these young men with 167 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 2: their coaches and how much work they're putting it into it, 168 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 2: and then to be able to see that work and 169 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 2: see the fruits of the labor, so to speak, on 170 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 2: Sunday is a testament to what these guys are doing 171 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 2: in this building throughout this season. 172 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,720 Speaker 9: Hey, Kevin, I know you talked about Dylan Samson and 173 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 9: his day last night, but what have you seen from him? 174 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 9: I know all of the rookies have kind of stood out, 175 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 9: but Dylan Samson feels like a guy that's kind of 176 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:49,200 Speaker 9: waited and worked for his opportunity. What have you seen 177 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 9: in regards to him taking advantage of the opportunity when 178 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 9: it was presented to him. 179 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 2: He's done everything that we've asked me to do. Cam, 180 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,200 Speaker 2: going back to the second he was here, We've had 181 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,680 Speaker 2: him do over idea of jobs on offense. He's now 182 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,840 Speaker 2: he's a kick returner for us, so he will really 183 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 2: do whatever we ask him to do. He's always ready. 184 00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 2: I think we can definitely do a better job of 185 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 2: getting him involved early and often with Quinn Shawn. We 186 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:20,200 Speaker 2: just feel like there's a lot of opportunities for all 187 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,720 Speaker 2: these players, and he's definitely earned a role like that. 188 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 9: And we kind of only talk about the kicker and missus, 189 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,960 Speaker 9: but Andre Schmid has seemed to really have a resurgence 190 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 9: after some of those early season struggles. What have you 191 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 9: seen from him in terms of bouncing back from some 192 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,120 Speaker 9: of those things early and being able to be consistent 193 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 9: for you guys. 194 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's the word Cam is consistent. And 195 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 2: I think he's displayed that in games and I get 196 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 2: to see it in practice. I think he's performed really, 197 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 2: really well in practice. I think he's got the right mentality, 198 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,200 Speaker 2: he's wired the right way, somebody that we trust to 199 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:54,720 Speaker 2: come through for us when called upon. 200 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,319 Speaker 10: And I just want to do a little injury around 201 00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 10: up and follow up to your team and stuff. 202 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 11: Is I R possibility for Brendan or Aiden Huntington. 203 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 2: I'd say possibility, but not sure where that lands, all right. 204 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 10: And then there was a moment when when Guin Shawn 205 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 10: got kind of banged up, went to the injury tent. 206 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 10: It looked like the an Affiliare Chama consultant was in there, 207 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:17,559 Speaker 10: and then he tried. 208 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 11: To come back in he was taken out. 209 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 10: Can you robut some clarity on just what happened there 210 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 10: and was he officially like checking clear for a concussion? 211 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, both times. I think he came out the first 212 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 2: time because he fell on the ball and then they 213 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:33,320 Speaker 2: called the independent dot called from up top, brought him out, 214 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 2: checked him and he was good to go and was 215 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:36,480 Speaker 2: cleared again this morning, So he's good to go. 216 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:40,560 Speaker 3: Just wondering if this is sort of a week to 217 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,559 Speaker 3: week thing that you're doing with the quarterbacks now that 218 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,320 Speaker 3: Dylan has cleared the concussion protocol, are you just going 219 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 3: to watch and see if Shador can build on what 220 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,319 Speaker 3: he did when he plays against the forty nine ers 221 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 3: and just kind of go from there. 222 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm just going to focus on this week, Mary Kay, 223 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 2: not going to get much past this week. 224 00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, Kevin just wondering, it seemed to me and I 225 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 3: still have to watch the game over again another time. 226 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 3: But one thing that stood out to me about Shador 227 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 3: was that he was really tough in the face of 228 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,520 Speaker 3: the rush. I mean, he had you know, Max Crosby 229 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:12,680 Speaker 3: and another guy bearing down on him on the Bond play, 230 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,560 Speaker 3: and there were other ones where he just see he 231 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,640 Speaker 3: didn't flinch. I mean, he just got the ball off 232 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:19,720 Speaker 3: when he was just about to be drilled. So what 233 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,559 Speaker 3: did he show you about his toughness in that regard? 234 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, obviously I have no questions about his toughness. 235 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 2: That was part of watching the tape evaluating him. You 236 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 2: know how tough Shador is. So I think the protection 237 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:34,400 Speaker 2: by and large was was good. You know, it took 238 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 2: one sack which was really a coverage sack early in 239 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:41,680 Speaker 2: the game, but there's definitely room for improvement with Chador 240 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 2: versus the pressures and the movement, there's definitely room for 241 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:47,000 Speaker 2: improvement with how we structure it. So that's what I 242 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 2: when I talked earlier about things that we can prove 243 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,360 Speaker 2: upon there. There's always gonna be things that we point 244 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:53,200 Speaker 2: out as coaches that we can get better at. But 245 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 2: the ability to move within the pocket with stand against 246 00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 2: pressure for a young quarterback is always going to be 247 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:01,200 Speaker 2: a big point. Memphsis, did he. 248 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:04,680 Speaker 3: Move about how you thought he would or did he 249 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,360 Speaker 3: maybe even exceed your expectations a little bit in the 250 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:08,280 Speaker 3: QB movement realm. 251 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,000 Speaker 2: I think that's the strength of his mary Kay, his 252 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:14,839 Speaker 2: ability to move and playoff schedule. So that's something again 253 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 2: that we saw evaluating Shaudor throughout the process. 254 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 11: All Right, I'm gonna try to sneak another two for 255 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 11: one in here. 256 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 10: It looked like there were two occasions where should tried 257 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:27,199 Speaker 10: to attempt some deep passes almost to Jerry. Another one 258 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 10: was set on third down and it looked like they 259 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,080 Speaker 10: kind of stopped running in the middle of the route. 260 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:34,880 Speaker 10: Just would you characterize that as a miscommunication or was 261 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 10: kind of the teaching point there? And then why did 262 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 10: you decide to punt late in the game? I think 263 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,679 Speaker 10: it was from the twenty nine from the greatest runt nine. 264 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:43,160 Speaker 10: Why why did you decide to pointstead of take the 265 00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:43,559 Speaker 10: field goal? 266 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, the first part of the question, we need to 267 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:49,760 Speaker 2: be better obviously weren't on the same page, and that 268 00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 2: that's in those third downs we have to be on. 269 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:54,839 Speaker 2: The second one could have could have gone for it, 270 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,440 Speaker 2: could have attempted a field goal, but just felt like 271 00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 2: with where the game was, just wanted to be a 272 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,200 Speaker 2: servative there and you know, make sure that that game 273 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:07,920 Speaker 2: ended shortly thereafter I figured on how last point? 274 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:09,680 Speaker 7: Thank you all right, And this is the last one 275 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 7: from Scott, but I'm going to read it to help him. 276 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:13,680 Speaker 11: With some of his tech issues. 277 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 7: He wanted to ask if that was Mason's best game 278 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:17,679 Speaker 7: and what did. 279 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:18,199 Speaker 5: You like about it? 280 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought Mason was a very very disruptive, very 281 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 2: active both in the run and the pass. I mean, 282 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:28,959 Speaker 2: the entire defensive line obviously was assaulting the pocket throughout 283 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,880 Speaker 2: the game. But Mason continues to be a player that 284 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:36,880 Speaker 2: is harassing the quarterback, is around the ball, is making 285 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,320 Speaker 2: plays in the run game. So I do think again, 286 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,719 Speaker 2: another young player that, like we've talked about all season long, 287 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 2: these young players get better, they improve, and it's not 288 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:50,320 Speaker 2: just it's not just because the calendar is changing, it's 289 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,440 Speaker 2: because they're putting the work in. So I definitely put 290 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 2: Mason in that group of players as well. Thanks guys. 291 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,080 Speaker 1: Up next Dylan Samson, who put the final nail in 292 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 1: the coffin of the Raiders with a sixty six yard 293 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 1: receiving touchdown. 294 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 9: Hey, Dylan, I know that you've been kind of working 295 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 9: really hard waiting for your opportunity to come to be 296 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,960 Speaker 9: able to break free and have that big gang yesterday. 297 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:13,960 Speaker 9: What did that feel like and how much of a 298 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 9: testament is that to the work that you've been putting 299 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,680 Speaker 9: in throughout this season waiting for that opportunity. 300 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,120 Speaker 12: Now I feel great, you know, to kind of come 301 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:23,720 Speaker 12: up in a big moment, you know, kind of put some. 302 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 13: Closing finishes to the uh we got yesterday. 303 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:29,840 Speaker 12: But yeah, this season kind of been long for me, 304 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,640 Speaker 12: you know, just staying down, staying the course, working every 305 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,040 Speaker 12: single day at practice doing what I can, you know, 306 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,760 Speaker 12: but you know, just the moment you work for.

As a guy who's been working with 312 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 9: him since the spring. 313 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:56,040 Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean, I just think you see in the 314 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,800 Speaker 12: terms of way I think how he've used hisself. You know, 315 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 12: he has a lot of confident in himself, and you 316 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 12: could tell by the way he just handles his business 317 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,800 Speaker 12: and the way he cares himself. But you know, I 318 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 12: think he went out there and he played hard. You know, 319 00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 12: he was very competitive and a team player as well, though, 320 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,680 Speaker 12: you know, good or bad, came back to the sideline, 321 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,560 Speaker 12: you know, let everybody know he's straight and keep out there, 322 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:20,800 Speaker 12: you know, keep going.

And I mean in 338 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 12: a turn, it kind of you know, affects everybody else 339 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,080 Speaker 12: you know around you know, and so I mean we 340 00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:12,400 Speaker 12: all have different relationships with each other, you know. So, 341 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:14,960 Speaker 12: and that's just the kind of relationship that he brings 342 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:15,960 Speaker 12: on he doing. 343 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,760 Speaker 5: When things are going the way they were early in 344 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 5: the season, you weren't getting a ton of carries, you 345 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,440 Speaker 5: weren't having a ton of success.

You know, I don't really pay attention to it. 370 00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:25,600 Speaker 12: All I know is what they tell me day in 371 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:29,080 Speaker 12: day out, the way I go to work, And you know, 372 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 12: all I could do is put my best forward and 373 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,879 Speaker 12: trust that they see that, you know. And obviously in 374 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 12: this league, you know you need to make plays on 375 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:40,760 Speaker 12: Sundays for that to keep coming, you know. So I was, 376 00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,320 Speaker 12: you know glad, you know I was able to make 377 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:46,400 Speaker 12: some plays yesterday for this team, and you know you're 378 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:47,960 Speaker 12: gonna continue to you don't make it happen. 379 00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:50,879 Speaker 7: Hey, Dylan, they know after the game yesterday, you talked 380 00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:54,760 Speaker 7: about after that Cincinnati game when your touches were you know, 381 00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:58,520 Speaker 7: fewer in the next handful of games, putting your head 382 00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:01,800 Speaker 7: down and figuring out ways you could improve, So just 383 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,840 Speaker 7: wondering what some of the things were that you tried 384 00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:06,840 Speaker 7: to improve and what you were doing to do that. 385 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:09,680 Speaker 12: I think the main thing for me was stack and 386 00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:13,600 Speaker 12: just consistent of like consistent good days at practice, whether 387 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:18,159 Speaker 12: it was dialed into the playbook, you know, showing that 388 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:21,320 Speaker 12: I knew everything about the playbook, about the game. 389 00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:23,240 Speaker 13: Plan day in day out, you know. 390 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,119 Speaker 12: And I think the main thing was just continue to 391 00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 12: work my craft and just be patient, you know. I 392 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 12: mean that's what this league is about, you know, and 393 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,639 Speaker 12: you know, when the opportunity comes, you have to make 394 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:38,480 Speaker 12: the play. So that's just my mindset and that's how 395 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:39,520 Speaker 12: I go about things. 396 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 7: Is that kind of like your mindset to when you're 397 00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:44,040 Speaker 7: in a game and you have, you know a handful 398 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:47,280 Speaker 7: of negative rushing plays, but then you're able to break 399 00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:50,480 Speaker 7: off an explosive run or you have the sixty six 400 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 7: yard reception, Like, is that your mindsetive even if those 401 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:54,679 Speaker 7: negative plays are coming in the moment. 402 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:56,439 Speaker 13: Yes, I mean it has to be. 403 00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:59,160 Speaker 12: It has to because I mean, in the grand scheme 404 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,959 Speaker 12: of things, if our were to be getting about you know, 405 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:07,240 Speaker 12: starting running back so touches, you know, a couple of 406 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:11,160 Speaker 12: those plays will be probably negative, just because like every 407 00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,960 Speaker 12: game that happens, you play good defense, you play great players, 408 00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:16,560 Speaker 12: you know. But the thing that could probably get into 409 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:19,800 Speaker 12: it with players like me mentally is like I don't 410 00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:21,919 Speaker 12: get as many of those plays, So when I do 411 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:24,679 Speaker 12: get a negative, having to you know, make sure I 412 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,640 Speaker 12: stay mentally strowing on that if I do get another opportunity, 413 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:29,840 Speaker 12: all I'm worried about is that next play, you know, 414 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:33,040 Speaker 12: And it is hard, but you you got to put 415 00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,440 Speaker 12: out your mind to like put the best, like put 416 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:38,879 Speaker 12: the team for it, and you know, continue to just 417 00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 12: do as best you can for the team. 418 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:46,200 Speaker 3: Dylan, what's it like when you're watching Harold Fannin break 419 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,639 Speaker 3: a bunch of tackles and get that yack that he 420 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:52,560 Speaker 3: was getting yesterday and then sort of the follow up 421 00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:56,760 Speaker 3: to that is just about all of you, guys, your 422 00:19:56,760 --> 00:20:00,400 Speaker 3: whole entire rookie class just really showing out just how 423 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:01,560 Speaker 3: exciting that is for all of you. 424 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:07,160 Speaker 12: Yeah, first with Harold Man I me and him kind 425 00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,920 Speaker 12: of started building a great connection over these past couple 426 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:11,720 Speaker 12: few weeks, past couple of games. 427 00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:13,719 Speaker 13: You know, I love Harold, I love the way he works. 428 00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:16,000 Speaker 12: You know, He's just one of those people that I say, 429 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,679 Speaker 12: he's just good at football, Like I can't explain it, 430 00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:22,399 Speaker 12: you know.

Where do you think that has taken itself 455 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:32,399 Speaker 9: and where do you think it can go with the 456 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:34,119 Speaker 9: two of you in the backfield. 457 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,639 Speaker 12: I think over these past couple of weeks, you know, 458 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:41,800 Speaker 12: coaches have been trying to you know, figure out a 459 00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:45,560 Speaker 12: rotation pattern, you know, and things like that.

But I mean, 465 00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,600 Speaker 12: I think the sky's the limit just with the way 466 00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:00,480 Speaker 12: both of us play. 467 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:01,679 Speaker 13: I think we both play hard. 468 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,640 Speaker 12: I think we both have unique things that we both 469 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,320 Speaker 12: could bring to this offense and to this league, you know, 470 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:10,359 Speaker 12: and what it could be. I mean, I think in 471 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:13,720 Speaker 12: terms of just the staple that some of the other 472 00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,639 Speaker 12: teams have now, you know, with you know, like teams 473 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:18,719 Speaker 12: in Detroit or like what the Saints used to have. 474 00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:19,720 Speaker 13: It's like it. 475 00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:21,920 Speaker 12: I believe it can be that, and I'm gonna work 476 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:23,880 Speaker 12: for it to be that every single day. 477 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,119 Speaker 5: Hey, though maybe playing out that. Why do you think 478 00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:29,680 Speaker 5: the wildcat has been so successful? A couple of times 479 00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:31,600 Speaker 5: you guys have used it near the going. 480 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,280 Speaker 12: I just think any running back when you get down there, 481 00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:39,080 Speaker 12: like certain people, it's just the mindset, like it's getting 482 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:39,680 Speaker 12: in the end zone. 483 00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:41,600 Speaker 13: You know, it's it's two yards away. 484 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 12: And if you look at quin Shawn, a lot of 485 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 12: his runs, he's not getting tackled behind the line of scrimmage, 486 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:47,920 Speaker 12: you know. I mean some players are, but like most 487 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:51,200 Speaker 12: of the times he's fighting even in the open field. 488 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,680 Speaker 13: So you just take that into accounting the red zone. 489 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:57,600 Speaker 12: It's just a mindset like regardless if somebody isn't blocked, 490 00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 12: it's like me and you, I'm getting in the endzone, 491 00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:03,199 Speaker 12: and I think every time he gets down there, you know, 492 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:05,439 Speaker 12: it doesn't matter if the defense nose was coming, Like 493 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:08,639 Speaker 12: he has that mindset. All of our old linemen and 494 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:10,640 Speaker 12: the blockers had that mindset when we get down there, 495 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:12,879 Speaker 12: like we have to score it. You know, three points 496 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:14,359 Speaker 12: is is not enough, you know. 497 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:18,000 Speaker 1: Finally, defensive tackle Malik Collins, who recorded a career high 498 00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:20,639 Speaker 1: two and a half sacks in the game against the Raiders. 499 00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:23,639 Speaker 7: Hey, Maleaku, No, we talked to you last night. But 500 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,000 Speaker 7: one of the other things I wanted to ask you 501 00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:28,120 Speaker 7: really quick was about just the fact you guys got 502 00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:30,879 Speaker 7: to play with a lead so much of this game 503 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:35,320 Speaker 7: and in this kind of scheme. How beneficial is that 504 00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:38,680 Speaker 7: for you guys, especially just with the attacking up front. 505 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,399 Speaker 14: That's what we've been praying on all season, is just 506 00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:43,880 Speaker 14: to have a lead to where we can go out 507 00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,359 Speaker 14: there and just you know, rush and be able to 508 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:48,400 Speaker 14: really just have a lead and being able to stop 509 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:52,920 Speaker 14: the run is really what give us the most sack opportunities, 510 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:55,240 Speaker 14: you know, that's all. That's what That's what we really 511 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 14: want in general.
