1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:03,480
Speaker 1: Ba with the shoulder will be limited, and Ambry Thomas

2
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:04,560
Speaker 1: with the knee will be limited.

3
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:09,120
Speaker 2: Go ahead, are you trending in the right direction.

4
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 3: Enough to be limited? That's in the right direction, right, yeah,

5
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 3: I think so we have to.

6
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 4: See from him. I'm assuming there'll be a game time decision.

7
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:21,919
Speaker 4: What's the plan for Thursday with him?

8
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:25,639
Speaker 1: Just that the trainers and him himself tell me that

9
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:26,240
Speaker 1: he can go.

10
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 5: A walk through today basically? Or is it anything with

11
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 5: real practice?

12
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,239
Speaker 3: No, it's always walked through on Thursdays. We go out

13
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:33,879
Speaker 3: for a walk through.

14
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,199
Speaker 1: Do that, We come in, we watch it, and then

15
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:37,880
Speaker 1: we go out again for a second walk through later.

16
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 2: So well, the other.

17
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:42,519
Speaker 6: Day when you talked about the workload with.

18
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:44,959
Speaker 1: Christian Elijah, is that a conversation you have to have with.

19
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:46,599
Speaker 6: Elijah or he gets it?

20
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:50,520
Speaker 3: I haven't yet. I mean it can be like that sometimes.

21
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 1: I mean the week before, I think Elijah got in

22
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 1: for ten plays, which was closer. We still did it

23
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 1: more than that last year. But I wasn't expecting him

24
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 1: not to get in at all. So when I see him,

25
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 1: I'll say something.

26
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 4: Now.

27
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 7: I talked about how how much you saw from Rock

28
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 7: last year in the Thursday Night game Seattle through the injury.

29
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 7: Why was that so meaningful for you in terms of

30
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 7: being able to project what he could be for you?

31
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: It was just the situation we're in was so unique

32
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: to where he was our third We were down to

33
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 1: our third string quarterback at the time, and then when

34
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 1: he had that bad injury, just you know, bringing in

35
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 1: Josh from another team and everything on a short week

36
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: and stuff. It was just so different, not having the

37
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:30,759
Speaker 1: guys that have been here, and so to give him

38
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,319
Speaker 1: all that time up to kick off we probably wanted

39
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: of if we had been in a different situation where

40
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: guys had been in our building and played longer. But

41
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 1: we had to give him every moment and just what

42
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:43,680
Speaker 1: he pulled off, you know, we didn't think he was

43
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:45,119
Speaker 1: going to be able to play, and then for him

44
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 1: to be able to do it and then play the

45
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 1: way that he did play was so impressive.

46
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 7: Is that one of those things that you don't know

47
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 7: what someone's made of until they can actually show it

48
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 7: to you.

49
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, kind of.

50
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: I mean, you got an idea of just watching them,

51
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: You've got idea hanging around him, But those are moments

52
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: that I don't think so I want to say necessarily

53
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 1: what they're made of. I think he's proven that a lot,

54
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: But I think guys don't know what they're capable of

55
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 1: pulling off till they get in those positions. And Brock

56
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 1: is going to pull off anything he can. That's what

57
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 1: was cool talking to him that whole week, because he's

58
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:14,920
Speaker 1: not a guy who just tells you what you want

59
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 1: to hear, like, yes, coach, I'll be ready, I'm fine,

60
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: and then they get to the game and they're not ready.

61
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: Brock was honest with us all week, and I knew

62
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 1: there was times he didn't think he'd be able to

63
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 1: he was gonna be honest with us, but when it

64
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: got close to kick obvious, like, hey, I think I

65
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 1: can do this, let me try. And then he tried,

66
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: and as the first quarter went, he gained confidence, and

67
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 1: so did we as it went.

68
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:37,959
Speaker 5: Devo came up here in the summer said he was

69
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 5: disappointed with his season. Previously, we know that you might

70
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 5: have had a meeting with him.

71
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 4: Did you start that process?

72
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,799
Speaker 5: Did Devo come be you like kind of go back

73
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 5: over the last season, How did that all.

74
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 3: Kind of begin?

75
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: Divo comes to talk a lot, but I mean, I'd

76
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: say I started that conversation a little bit, just I'd

77
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: spent a lot more of the off season here, so

78
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: I've been going through the tape for five month straight,

79
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 1: you know, And Deebo missed Phase one and two and

80
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 1: came in Phase three, so it was the first time

81
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 1: I got to see him in a while, and we

82
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 1: had a lot of stuff to catch up on. Usually

83
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 1: you review all that stuff earlier on, but since he

84
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: missed that, we waited till the end, and it was

85
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 1: a very positive, good conversation. Wasn't hard or anything, but

86
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 1: it was a very real conversation. That's what I love

87
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 1: about Devo so much, because he's an extremely real person

88
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: and if you talk to him the right way and

89
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: you show him stuff, he's not going to be a

90
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 1: bs us or himself. And I expect him to come

91
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: have that reaction with you guys a couple hours later.

92
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: But I was been very pleased with the result.

93
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 5: How does he might have been disappointed he wasn't the

94
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 5: captain last year, but how significant And do you think

95
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,119
Speaker 5: the team the players were reacting to what they saw

96
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 5: from him in the off season to make the captain

97
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 5: this year?

98
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 3: I think so.

99
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I didn't ask them personally, but I know

100
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 1: he was close to that the year before and didn't

101
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: get it.

102
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 3: I didn't know that it would bother him.

103
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: You know, he didn't really let me know that, but

104
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 1: after I could tell I kind of did. He was

105
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: just I think he wanted it more than I realized.

106
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 1: So I kind of had an idea disappointed last year,

107
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 1: and I thought it was really cool when I got

108
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: those votes that the team had voted for him, because

109
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 1: they did it the year before, even though it was close,

110
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 1: And I think it was because of his training camp.

111
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: Probably came to training camp, the way he handled himself,

112
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 1: not just on practice but everywhere. And I think it

113
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: was a very genuine vote by all the players.

114
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:22,160
Speaker 3: You had to take into account TJ.

115
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 7: Watt and Aaron Donald the first two games.

116
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,280
Speaker 3: So what strikes you a gout the Giants defense?

117
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 1: It's usually I mean there's people every week, you know,

118
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: TJ from the edge and Aaron from inside. I mean

119
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: they got as good of inside players here too. I

120
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 1: mean Dexter Lawrence is you know, it's our first time

121
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 1: really seeing them, but just watching in the last twenty

122
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 1: four hours, he's as good as advertised. Lenn Williams has

123
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: always been a great player. Both of their edges are

124
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 1: are good also, so they got a very good front

125
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: and similar challenges last two weeks.

126
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 4: Does Debo through two games look different than deepot of

127
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 4: last season.

128
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 1: He's just he's in much better condition. He had much

129
00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 1: better training camp. He was able to get through it

130
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 1: all and get better throughout it. You know, last year

131
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,479
Speaker 1: he had some setbacks coming in, was able to go

132
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: through training camp and kind of was in and out throughout.

133
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 3: The whole year. And now it's just like camp.

134
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: He's in the best shape, doesn't have to come out

135
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 1: as much, it doesn't have to take as many plays often,

136
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: and it's playing as good as I've seen him play of.

137
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 2: The early returns on your interior pass rush with Jay

138
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,239
Speaker 2: Vaughn and Eric and obviously.

139
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: I thought in the second half I got going, you know,

140
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 1: not just with our defensive line, but our secondary with it.

141
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:34,280
Speaker 1: I thought, you know, the Rams came out and really

142
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: we gave him a lot of hope there in the

143
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: first half. You know, their offense kind of controlled the ball.

144
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,279
Speaker 1: I think it was all three series that they scored

145
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: on that second half.

146
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 3: I was real proud of our guys.

147
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,359
Speaker 1: Usually when you give an offense a lot of hope

148
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 1: like that, and the confidence it gets only harder. But

149
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,599
Speaker 1: our guys came out. I thought our coverages got tighter

150
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: and caught a couple.

151
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 3: More pressures too, which put a little bit of pressure

152
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 3: on them.

153
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,160
Speaker 1: But once that started happening, I thought every guy, everybody

154
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,600
Speaker 1: started making guys miss, making Stafford get rid of the

155
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: ball a little bit earlier, and I think it led

156
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: a couple turnovers.

157
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 7: As a former receiver, what's your thoughts on what you.

158
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,239
Speaker 5: Thought of Puka Nakua and how did you feel about

159
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 5: the way you guys defended him in this last game.

160
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 3: I mean, he was he was great.

161
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: I mean he's a really good football player. We liked

162
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 1: him a lot coming out of college. I think I

163
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: compared him to Jwan a little bit last week, and

164
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 1: just the energy plays with how tough he is. Seeing

165
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:26,279
Speaker 1: him in person, he was a little bit bigger than

166
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 1: then I realized on tape, even though he knew he

167
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 1: was big. But just the way he did it all game,

168
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 1: you know, he the stamina he had, how hard he played,

169
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 1: and that's why Stafford got a lot of confidence as

170
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: he went. We gave him a little bit too much room.

171
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 1: That's why he had to tighten up as the game

172
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 1: went on.

173
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 6: Two questions about one on just before halftime when there

174
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 6: was one second match, he like skid the ball at

175
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 6: like's feet on that instead of saling it.

176
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 3: And then hopefully, Yeah, it didn't make us a little nervous.

177
00:06:55,960 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 3: It was too good of a throwaway, like just the ground. Yeah.

178
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: No, I mean it's got to be you got to

179
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:03,599
Speaker 1: throw it away to where you don't get a penalty,

180
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: so it's got to pass the line of scrimmage and

181
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,840
Speaker 1: stuff like that. But it's just when all you're doing

182
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 1: is watching that clock and hoping that hoping that they

183
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 1: don't screw you in anyway, and especially being on the road,

184
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: usually it goes to zero and then you got to

185
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: have people look at it and put it back to one.

186
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 1: But it was that one. I was just nervous that

187
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 1: it was close enough that they were going to try

188
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 1: to go to zero and see if the rest are corrected.

189
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 6: On that same drive completion to Jennings where he threw

190
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 6: it and Juan had his back to him still, I mean,

191
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 6: is he come? Has he progressed in that area as

192
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 6: far as trusting those type of throws year?

193
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: No, I mean I think he's doing the same. It

194
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 1: just depends what type of game we're in.

195
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 3: I mean, that was a play that we usually we

196
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 3: go to that spot last.

197
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: Ver zone and you're hoping that everyone's covered everyone else

198
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 1: and you sneak this guy out the backside, and we've

199
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 1: done it a lot over the years, but.

200
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 3: They played man to man and the nickel followed him

201
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 3: the whole time.

202
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: So by the time brought off to him, which is

203
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 1: three in the progression, and you're trying to seek him

204
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 1: out there and you look to him, the ball's got

205
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 1: to go and he wasn't man. So he gave a

206
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 1: tight ball placement, gave him an opportunity and very similar

207
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 1: to the opportunity he gave Ba.

208
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 3: On the go route versus Pittsburgh.

209
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: And those are fifty to fifty balls and both of

210
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 1: our guys would come down with it.

211
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 2: This year play with I think it was six seconds

212
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 2: the second to last play. Is there a specific play

213
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 2: that you have that you know is supposed to take

214
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 2: only four or five seconds state that you call situation?

215
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 1: I mean, not specific play, but I mean there's all

216
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: types of plays. You just know you have the time

217
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 1: for number one, and number one is not there, don't

218
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 1: mess around. You know, those are O zone situations we

219
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:42,440
Speaker 1: call it's got to be out of balance or in

220
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 1: the end zone or the game's over or in that case,

221
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 1: the half's over. And when your play's not there, if

222
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 1: you do it quicker, you get two shots. And that's

223
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 1: something we told him with all three plays.

224
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 3: The challenge Daniel huge challenge. I mean, I mean it

225
00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 3: starts with his legs.

226
00:08:58,120 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: I mean, anytime you have that speed and you can

227
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 1: run the ball like he does, they're willing to run him.

228
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,679
Speaker 1: He's willing to run, he's physical when he runs, and

229
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 1: he's got the skill set to run away from people.

230
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 1: So anytime you got a quarterback like that, the challenge

231
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 1: that does just schematically unlocking your defense and making you

232
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 1: have to play a certain way, it's always a pain.

233
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:18,719
Speaker 1: And then he's got the ability to play in the

234
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: pocket and beat you that way too, So he's.

235
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 3: Getting better each year. Really, we all really loved.

236
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 1: Him coming out and he's I think one of the

237
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 1: main reasons he took him to the playoffs last year,

238
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 1: and he played really unbelievable there in the second half

239
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 1: on Sunday.

240
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 3: From a preparation standpoint, how tough is it Thursday. You

241
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 3: just feel really rushed. Yes, and you feel extremely rushed,

242
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:43,719
Speaker 3: you know. I saw the players a few hours ago

243
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 3: and it was the first time I saw him.

244
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 1: Told him it was Wednesday morning, and by our end

245
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 1: of our first meeting it was Thursday.

246
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 3: It was kind of how we explained it.

247
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 1: And tomorrow morning is Friday, but by ten o'clock it's

248
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 1: the day before the game, so it's weird. We were

249
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 1: throwing four days into two days. As coaching staff, we

250
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 1: throw two days into one day.

251
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 3: So it's kind of a loss for words when I

252
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 3: can't swear up here.

253
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:18,680
Speaker 1: It's a something show as as we do it, but

254
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 1: then it's about retaining it when it slows down, like

255
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 1: we've got to put them all through it, the players,

256
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 1: so we just throw it all at him. We go

257
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: on and walk through it twice, we go watch it.

258
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: It's just and then it'll slow down to night when

259
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: they leave, but that's usually about sleeping and catching up,

260
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 1: and then tomorrow kind of when you get to the hotel,

261
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:35,839
Speaker 1: it's like, all right, now it's now it's normal, even

262
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 1: though it's not. But now it's Saturday night and slow

263
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:40,599
Speaker 1: it down a little bit. I always love Thursdays or

264
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 1: night games, because I think it's important on the day

265
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 1: of the game to kind of review your whole week,

266
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,200
Speaker 1: which is the day before and all the stuff that

267
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 1: came in, so you don't hesitate in the game.

268
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,680
Speaker 4: Made a play where it's almost like he was gonna

269
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 4: take the hand off that oh, yeah, you.

270
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 2: Beat a guy off the line or do you block him?

271
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 3: And is he had the impact that you'd hope you Yeah,

272
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:06,079
Speaker 3: he's a problem.

273
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 1: He's I mean, Stator did a good job getting rid

274
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: of the ball when he was there, which I do

275
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 1: think affects him and makes him rush it and makes

276
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 1: you lose confidence as the game goes and how long

277
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 1: you can hold on to it. But that was they

278
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: just busted on their own line and he shot the

279
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 1: gap fast and he had a choice for the quarterback

280
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 1: or the running back, and he chose the wrong one.

281
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:26,959
Speaker 1: But he almost took the handoff. So it's always tough

282
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 1: in that situation which one to pick.

283
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 3: You Guys like Anthony Brown.

284
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 1: Just you know, playing against him his experience. You know,

285
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 1: we've had some injuries here, especially the dB position and stuff,

286
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 1: and we want to make sure that we have a

287
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 1: guy ready to go in case we have some more

288
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 1: and you know I loved him that we all loved

289
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 1: him in Dallas. We know he's been here at Pittsburgh

290
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 1: working with those guys, and just feel fortunate to get

291
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 1: him right here right now.

292
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 3: Looking after the first two weeks in your opinion.

293
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,560
Speaker 1: Solid good enough for us to win, But like every

294
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 1: other piss on our team, we're still not there yet.

295
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 3: Just try to improve with each game we get documented.

296
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:09,320
Speaker 4: How busy you've been. But I asked this question because

297
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 4: I know you wore his jersey, but have you seen

298
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:15,199
Speaker 4: any of Dion Sanders and how he's doing, You have

299
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 4: any thoughts and just what he's done in this role

300
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 4: as as.

301
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 2: A head coach.

302
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, it's been fun to watch. It's been really cool.

303
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:24,080
Speaker 1: You never know how it's going to work out with

304
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 1: them just going there and the whole transfer rules and

305
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 1: stuff which I don't even understand.

306
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 3: Hopefully I won't ever have to. You don't know how

307
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 3: it's gonna work.

308
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 1: But he's just fun to watch, you know, just everyone

309
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:36,719
Speaker 1: being such a fan of him growing up and then

310
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 1: how cool he is now. But really what made it

311
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:41,680
Speaker 1: real was just watching their first game. You know we

312
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 1: didn't have that was a week before we started, and

313
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 1: I was actually just hanging out of the house and

314
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 1: I got to watch them as TCU and to watch

315
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 1: how their team played was the coolest thing.

316
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:50,679
Speaker 3: I Mean, everyone knows how cool.

317
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,960
Speaker 1: Dion is, but we always talked about the silent tape

318
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 1: and how a team looks, and to watch those dudes

319
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 1: come out and battle, on how hard they played and

320
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,559
Speaker 1: the confidence they had that was it made it.

321
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 3: So fun to watch.

322
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 1: And I'm from Colorado, so my my my wife went there.

323
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 1: You know, best man of my wedding went there. I'm

324
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 1: not a big fan of there. I'm a longhorn, so

325
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 1: but it's.

326
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 3: They're actually making some of us like see you right now.

327
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 1: Even we got a lot of c SU guys in

328
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,679
Speaker 1: our office and last week they even admitted that was

329
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:21,559
Speaker 1: pretty cool right now.

330
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,559
Speaker 3: But and then last week we finished.

331
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 1: It was a night game, so when we were done

332
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,679
Speaker 1: with our meetings, I got to see the fourth quarter

333
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 1: in my hotel room, which their backs were against the

334
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 1: wall and they stepped it up and got it done.

335
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 1: So it's been cool to watch and fun for sports,

336
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 1: and probably got the most hype team going on right now.

337
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 1: So I can't get mad about that.

338
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:43,960
Speaker 3: All right guys. Thanks
