1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,480
Speaker 1: We're kind of getting him back in the flow of

2
00:00:01,480 --> 00:00:02,800
Speaker 1: things and getting the win unders belt.

3
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:05,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought he did a good job just leading

4
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:08,440
Speaker 2: the offense kind of taking what was there. Obviously, we

5
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:10,879
Speaker 2: got something going late in that game, which we got

6
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:12,479
Speaker 2: to find a way to get that going sooner. That's

7
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 2: kind of happened to us last couple of weeks of

8
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 2: just finding some rhythm late in the second half. But

9
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:21,280
Speaker 2: you know, the challenge is getting it from the opening kickoff.

10
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 1: It's Darren's postgame comments that you and him had a

11
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:26,800
Speaker 1: conversation aside on during the second half of you got

12
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 1: to get Brian Toime Junior involved. What was that kind

13
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 1: of interaction like, and how I guess, how do you

14
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: do that for a whole game?

15
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's always the plan to start with

16
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,839
Speaker 2: getting your best players of football. Sometimes there's things a

17
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 2: defense do to take it away. Sometimes something comes up

18
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 2: throughout the course of the play that prevents that from happening.

19
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 2: There's a lot of times you call plays and he's

20
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,240
Speaker 2: a primary and for whatever reason, the ball didn't find him.

21
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 2: So it kind of just became we're gonna force him

22
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 2: the ball at some point in time, and you don't

23
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 2: always want to go that way, but we felt like

24
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 2: that was something we needed to do. So it was

25
00:00:57,960 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 2: more just we're gonna put him over here, we're gonna

26
00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 2: call screen, we're gonna call some dropbacks, and the ball

27
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 2: is gonna go to Brian. We're gonna ultimately, that's what

28
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,959
Speaker 2: got us sparked right there. So however it gets there,

29
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 2: you know, you got to find different ways to be

30
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 2: able to incorporate all your good players and give them

31
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 2: opportunities to affect the game. Yeah, just do that, Yeah, definitely.

32
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 2: It's not as simple as that. It was a point

33
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 2: in time where we weren't having much success and we

34
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 2: needed just this is what we're gonna do now. At

35
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 2: the same time, we didn't have a ton of opportunities.

36
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 2: We had three drives in the first half, one of

37
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 2: them starting from our minus two that let it eventually

38
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 2: became a two minute drive into half. So you got

39
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 2: to get the snaps, You got to get opportunities with

40
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 2: the football to be able to put yourself in those situations.

41
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 2: But and there's times you call them. Mean, we've had

42
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 2: some wild ones this year. We call screen. Brian Baldon

43
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 2: get thrown for one reason or another. We have different

44
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 2: things where you think you're forcunate to them and it

45
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 2: doesn't find them different way or a pressure look and

46
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 2: the quarterback changes the play whatever that may be. Some

47
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 2: of those things come up from time to time, but

48
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 2: you know, it's it's on us to continue to find

49
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 2: ways to feed him opportunities to affect the game. Talked

50
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 2: about yesterday how Brian demands the football. Do you like

51
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 2: that in a wide receiver and how's that sort of balance?

52
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 2: I guess quarterback wide receiver? Yeah, I mean I understand

53
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 2: he said that. I think it's very different than probably

54
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,359
Speaker 2: the perception you think of when you think of receivers

55
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 2: demanding the football. It's he's not out of there throwing

56
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 2: his helmet down, yelling about getting the ball anybody's face,

57
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 2: anything like that. I think he's a guy that wants

58
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 2: the ball like anybody. But never once has he ever

59
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 2: shown his character to be something different than we know

60
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 2: it to be. He'll do whatever we ask him to

61
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 2: do as long as it's helping the team win. I mean,

62
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 2: that's the big thing is all these guys, they'll do

63
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 2: anything as long as they think it's going to help

64
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 2: us win. So we appreciate that and he is. He

65
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,799
Speaker 2: is awesome. He's been a pro through and through. I mean,

66
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 2: like anybody, when we're losing, there's frustration, but you know,

67
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 2: Brian's certainly capable of helping us win games, and we

68
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 2: need to continue to get the football to him.

69
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 1: I'm here. From time to time, I've heard you guys

70
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 1: mentioned like, think players not plays. I mean, is it

71
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 1: getting too I mean when the offense struggling, is that

72
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 1: kind of something that you guys are started to think

73
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: more of thinking how to get these players involved instead

74
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:03,640
Speaker 1: of maybe the plays.

75
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, certainly, and there's always I mean every play you

76
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 2: put in, you look at who the primary is, who

77
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 2: the secondary is, where you think the ball is going

78
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 2: to go based on what the look is, and every

79
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 2: play then takes on a life of its own once

80
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 2: the ball snapped, So things change. But we've always started players,

81
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 2: not plays of you know, when we go through opening script,

82
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 2: top third downs, top red zone calls, top backed up calls,

83
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 2: it starts with who's who do we think is going

84
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 2: to get the ball first? And we always kind of build,

85
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,679
Speaker 2: you know, from who we think has an opportunity based

86
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 2: on tendency, based on skill set, based on what those

87
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 2: routes are what that play is of who the better

88
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 2: ball carriers and this certain play, how does that align

89
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 2: with what we've shown in our past as well. So

90
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 2: that's always something we're very conscious of.

91
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 1: Yes, Josh's kind of fit in what you guys want.

92
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 2: I think Josh, like we mentioned last week, just Josh's experience,

93
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 2: We've always kind of had that guy that's just not

94
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 2: necessarily a role player, but a role player in a

95
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 2: way of the they do certain things. They do a

96
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 2: lot of things really well, and I think that's Josh

97
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 2: and it was cool just to see him. It's cool

98
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 2: to see him learn the offense and communicate things back

99
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 2: because that's the hardest part. I mean, he's every play

100
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 2: we run is a play somebody else runs as well.

101
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 2: We just communicate it probably differently than what he's used

102
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 2: to from La Denver, Detroit, wherever he's been. It probably

103
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 2: sounds a little different, but he recognizes it, and so

104
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 2: it's how quickly can we get that learning process in

105
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 2: there for him. But he's shown we did one on

106
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 2: ones yesterday. He ran a great route out of the slot.

107
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 2: He did something outside that was good. He's got a

108
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 2: lot of length, he's got speed, he's got burst, he's

109
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,840
Speaker 2: got intelligence. So those are all things that you know,

110
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 2: continue to introduce him without overwhelming him. I don't. I

111
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 2: don't know that's fair to him to just assume he's

112
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 2: gonna go out here and run every single play in

113
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 2: the game plan. If you had him all year, he

114
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 2: would be sort of like that Marvin Jones role in

115
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 2: terms of like the veteran guy, yes around the help

116
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 2: and stuff too. Yeah, I think so that just being

117
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 2: able to do a lot of different things. I do

118
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 2: think he's got the ability to play inside, outside, to

119
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 2: run across the field, run on the field, to win

120
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 2: contested catches. There's just as we get to know him

121
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 2: and see him up close and personal, you know, you

122
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,280
Speaker 2: kind of envision a lot of opportunities for him.

123
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 1: Are you trying to balance I guess the running back

124
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:14,719
Speaker 1: forward between Ten and Travis? Yeah.

125
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 2: A lot of times it's just kind of how the

126
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 2: game's going. You want to give each guy some opportunities.

127
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,600
Speaker 2: There are certain things where this guy does this really well,

128
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 2: that guy does that really well. I think if you

129
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,720
Speaker 2: were to pick how the season would go and how

130
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:28,919
Speaker 2: the course of things would go, they'd probably both have

131
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 2: around fifteen anywhere from twelve to twenty opportunities a piece.

132
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 2: That doesn't mean necessarily that they're all runs or they're

133
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 2: all passes. It's a mix and match of opportunities to

134
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,479
Speaker 2: get touches. And that's assuming everything's up and running, you're

135
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,840
Speaker 2: getting your sixty five to seventy five plays a game,

136
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 2: you're in normal down situations, you kind of dictate how

137
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 2: the game and flow goes. But those are two of

138
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 2: our most impactful players, and they have different skill sets,

139
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 2: they have different ways of going about it, but at

140
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 2: the same time, there's enough crossover where they're good at

141
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 2: the same things that if one's up, ones down, you

142
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,840
Speaker 2: can still run your offense through the running back. What

143
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 2: stands up about the Jets defense, they play incredibly fast.

144
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 2: First of all, the defensive line just getting off the

145
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 2: ball jet and penetrating into the backfield, the defensive ends

146
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 2: getting up the field, and then just the d tackles

147
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 2: burst off the ball and being able to penetrate gaps,

148
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 2: and then you see everything play off of that. The

149
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 2: second level flows sideline sideline as well as anybody we've seen,

150
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,279
Speaker 2: So they're trying to put a dent in your offensive

151
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 2: line and then those guys clean everything up pretty quickly.

152
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 2: The back ends aggressive. They do a good job. There's

153
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 2: not a ton of disguise, but they enough things look

154
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 2: the same to where you're not really sure until posting

155
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 2: up what the coverage is going to be. So I
