Speaker 1: the Podium podcast.

3
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 2: I'm Gabe Klea.

4
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:12,119
Speaker 1: The Browns continue to get work in at the Cross

5
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 1: Country Mortgage Campus today as they prepare to welcome the

6
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans to Huntington Bankefield this coming Sunday. On this episode,

7
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 1: you'll hear from offensive coordinator Tommy Reeves, defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz,

8
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 1: special teams coordinator Bubba Van Trone, offensive guard Joel Botonio,

9
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 1: linebacker Carson Swessinger, and safety Grant Delpit. We'll start with

10
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator Tommy Reese, who talked about how he saw

11
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 1: Shador Sanders grow from his first to his second start.

12
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,880
Speaker 3: Progress from his first start to his second step.

13
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, took care of the football, you know there throughout

14
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:48,280
Speaker 4: the game, which is a positive something that with young

15
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 4: players you stress. You know, I thought operationally it was

16
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 4: cleaner as he gets more comfortable, more reps, more opportunities

17
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 4: in and out of the huddle, communicating at the line

18
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 4: of scrimmage. You know, felt like we had more time

19
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 4: the line of scrimmage to get some things called up front. So,

20
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 4: you know, I think ownership of the system ownership of

21
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 4: what we're asking him to do, making good decisions. You know,

22
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 4: I thought there was some progression there for sure.

23
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 5: Talk after the game Friday against and again yesterday about

24
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 5: building trust with his receivers.

25
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 6: How how long should that take?

26
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 7: I don't know if there's a set timetable on that.

27
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:26,040
Speaker 4: Obviously, every rep you get, every opportunity you get to

28
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 4: throw routes on air, see things in practice. You know,

29
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,680
Speaker 4: for young players, the first time, you know, every time

30
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 4: you see something could be the first time. So I

31
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 4: think all those those reps add up, and I think

32
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 4: there's a natural progression here. As they continue to work together,

33
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 4: that trust will be built. And it's really you know,

34
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 4: getting on the same page and seeing things the same

35
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 4: way so that things can become second nature form on

36
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 4: the field.

37
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 6: But then.

38
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 5: Does frustration build as we saw Jerry Beauty right yelling

39
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 5: at him on the sideline.

40
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's competitive game, you know, that's behind us at

41
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,559
Speaker 4: this point. You know, I don't have any concern about

42
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 4: their relationship where they are being on the same page.

43
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:08,079
Speaker 4: I think, Look, everybody's competitive wants to you know, play

44
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 4: well and win games and do things the right way,

45
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 4: So you know that's something they've had a conversation on

46
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 4: that's completely behind us and moving forward.

47
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 6: No disagreement was about like what play was on.

48
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't want to get into all the specifics there,

49
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:26,360
Speaker 4: except for the fact that it's a competitive environment, competitive game,

50
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 4: and those guys have handled it and we're all all

51
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 4: moving together on the same page.

52
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 8: He sounded like yesterday Engineer was talking City thought, you're

53
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 8: seeing things well, but maybe not trusting enough to let

54
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 8: it rip rise some of the throws.

55
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 6: Did you notice that.

56
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's certainly some opportunities he probably wants back, and

57
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 4: that's going to happen with a young player. You're seeing

58
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 4: things and things are moving quicker than you're used to,

59
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 4: and you know, every rep he gets, every opportunity he gets,

60
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 4: he's going to get more and more comfortable. There's always

61
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 4: going to be plays you want back. I think we

62
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 4: had some things there that you felt like you had

63
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 4: some opportunities to hit, and those are coachable moments for

64
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,639
Speaker 4: a young quarterback. Those are opportunities to point out like, hey,

65
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 4: this is what open looks like, or this this is

66
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 4: the defender that our eyes need to be on, and

67
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 4: you know, trust that you're gonna make this throw and

68
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 4: you know, in the same vein he makes a lot

69
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 4: of those plays too, So it's building comfort across the

70
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 4: game plan, across the concepts, across the coverage as he

71
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 4: could see, to make sure that we can maximize all

72
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 4: the opportunities we have. But he's done a nice job

73
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 4: of throughout, you know, the week of communicating and seeing things,

74
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 4: and hey, I need another rep of this because I

75
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:33,799
Speaker 4: want to see it again, Like all those points are

76
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 4: really positive and moving in the right direction.

77
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 9: That do you do you believe in the game slowing

78
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 9: down for a player or is that just a byproduct

79
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 9: of kind of what you're talking about, just seeing the

80
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 9: game better?

81
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 7: Just I think those work hand in hand.

82
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 4: I do think it slows down as you see it,

83
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 4: as you get more exposed to it. You know, five

84
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 4: years from now, it's going to certainly feel slower to him,

85
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 4: five weeks from now, it's going to certainly feel slower

86
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 4: to him. So I'm a, I'm a, I do leave

87
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 4: and like there's there comes a moment where you can

88
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 4: kind of just all right, take a breath. I'm seeing

89
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,839
Speaker 4: these things clearly. I've had plenty of reps on this.

90
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 4: I can feel the defensive coverage and things are starting

91
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 4: to click.

92
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 10: I mean Europas seeing this in real time, seeing Judy

93
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 10: open three, four or five times a.

94
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 6: Game and not getting the ball.

95
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 10: How do you how do you not get frustrated?

96
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 4: Of course, yeah, like we're all competitive, we all want

97
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 4: to win, we all want to play well. But our

98
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 4: focus is My focus is why or how do we

99
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,159
Speaker 4: get this corrected? It's not this, it's we have a

100
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 4: young quarterback playing who's doing everything we're asking of them, uh,

101
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 4: doing a good job of working towards the progression. So

102
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 4: I try to internalize it, like where did I not

103
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 4: make this clean enough for him to go execute? You know,

104
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 4: there are plays throughout games where there's a myriad of

105
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 4: reasons why things don't work out. It's our job as

106
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 4: coaches to present the solutions for the players so that

107
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 4: they can and that's really where my focus is. It's like,

108
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 4: you know, I brought this example up last week in

109
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 4: his first you know, real game time against Baltimore. We

110
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 4: called to play twice. The second time we hit Harold

111
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 4: on that two minute drive for the indcut on the

112
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 4: first play we had called it earlier in the game.

113
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:17,720
Speaker 4: We had really the same look where we could have

114
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 4: completed it. So the conversation is like, hey, what are

115
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 4: we seeing, how do we get this corrected? This is

116
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,159
Speaker 4: what you should key and trust it. And then the

117
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 4: next time we did he executed it. And so that's

118
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 4: where our focus is as a staff, That's where my

119
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 4: focus is in the box and you know, trying to

120
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 4: be a solution oriented and solution base as possible.

121
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 11: So you know, I know, you guys drill into the

122
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:40,840
Speaker 11: quarterbacks to take care of the football, don't.

123
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 7: Be reckless and things like that.

124
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,039
Speaker 11: What's the balance now considering where you were at the

125
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 11: season with you know, obviously wanting them to take care

126
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 11: of the protect it, but also at the same time

127
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 11: testing their limits and what they can do in situations.

128
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:58,600
Speaker 6: And the risk it does come.

129
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, it all predicates. It's what is the what is

130
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 4: the look that the defense has given us?

131
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:03,160
Speaker 6: Right?

132
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 4: Are they giving us a look where we want to

133
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 4: take that throw? Where we are designing this to expose

134
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 4: this coverage and get this play called and get this

135
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 4: route thrown. If the defense predicase to look, let it rip.

136
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 4: You know, if they do something different or they take

137
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 4: it away, you got to find your next read or

138
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 4: your next solution. You know, I've told a lot of

139
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 4: angry receivers look like I don't dictate where the ball

140
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 4: goes the defense does you know, Like if they play

141
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:28,720
Speaker 4: this coverage, it's going to end up here.

142
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 7: That's it is what it is.

143
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 4: It's the same thing for the quarterbacks, Like if they

144
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,599
Speaker 4: play the coverage we want and we call the right

145
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 4: play and we get into the right look, I think

146
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:37,839
Speaker 4: like the play to Herald's a great example.

147
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 7: Let's let it rip. That's the look we want.

148
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:44,279
Speaker 4: When it's not there, let's be smart and find a

149
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 4: solution and we'll call it again. You know, the other

150
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:48,479
Speaker 4: plays in between, it's like, hey, when we have the

151
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 4: look and we have the play, that's when it's time

152
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 4: to let it rip. And that's where we want to

153
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:54,280
Speaker 4: make sure we're maximizing our opportunities.

154
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,840
Speaker 12: With the shot back of practice, what are your goals

155
00:06:57,880 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 12: for kind of with the nice pea, So what are

156
00:06:59,200 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 12: you guys.

157
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 7: Trying to make him comfortable?

158
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 4: I think get him back in the swing of things,

159
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 4: not put a ton of expectations on you know, big picture.

160
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,160
Speaker 4: But hey, let's get back with back into the swing

161
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 4: of doing drills, back into the swing of throwing full

162
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 4: speed routes to our receivers, our tight ends, getting comfortable

163
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,119
Speaker 4: at the line of scrimmage, Like get him back feeling

164
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,239
Speaker 4: comfortable and playing the position, and continue to work and improve.

165
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 7: You know where he's at the fourth.

166
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 13: Down play calls just obviously they didn't go the way

167
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 13: you wanted. Kevin talked about how you go onto those

168
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 13: situations feeling confident and you like the play call you have,

169
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 13: But what are those conversations like in those moments, and

170
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 13: how do you balance like feel for the game and

171
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 13: knowing where you're at now when to set your defense

172
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 13: back versus, Hey, the analytics say this, or we feel

173
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 13: really good about it.

174
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, look the decision on going forward or not. Like,

175
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 4: Kevin does a great job of communicating that ahead of time,

176
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 4: so you can have your sequencing of plays ready to go.

177
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 7: I would say, like.

178
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 4: I've been a part of stats where you get an

179
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 4: abrupt hey go you know, like and then you're like,

180
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 4: Kevin does a wonderful job of in this sequence of

181
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 4: calls of hey, if we get this thing to shortyards,

182
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 4: we're in a go area here. Look the first call,

183
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 4: we are damn near I think we were damn near

184
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 4: one hundred percent on that scheme throughout the season.

185
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 7: You know, they had some movement.

186
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 4: We can put our guys in a better position up

187
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 4: front to handle the movement, and that's our job as coaches.

188
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 4: And you know, they made a nice play there on

189
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 4: the left side. You know, the second one. The personnel

190
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 4: coming in with the injuries, some of the things that

191
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 4: we needed to manage there, got it set. That's a

192
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 4: play we've repped since August. I think, you know with

193
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 4: Harold and like we had confidence in him being able

194
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 4: to execute that. And you know, I think you see

195
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 4: across the league, you've certainly seen here in the past

196
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 4: of the tight end sneak play with quarterbacks not sneaking

197
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 4: as much, have a lot of success and the plays

198
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 4: that come off of it. Certainly we saw one a

199
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 4: couple of weeks ago against Baltimore. So like, that's a

200
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 4: play we had confidence in. I wish we would have

201
00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 4: been smoother and cleaner, and but we're not gonna lose

202
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 4: confidence in our players. We're not gonna lose confidence in

203
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 4: the ability to be aggressive. And there are some things,

204
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 4: like I internalize of heyes, are other better options here

205
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 4: in these situations? Are there some things that we can

206
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 4: do differently, and certainly as a staff, we're motivated to

207
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 4: make sure we get those situations right. We had been

208
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 4: pretty good in fourth and one throughout the year and

209
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 4: felt really confident in some of those schemes. But you know,

210
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 4: we're always as you get good at something, teams are

211
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 4: gonna do some things to take it away. So our

212
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 4: job is to make sure that we have complimentary plays

213
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 4: off of that.

214
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 10: Were you upt screaming call time out?

215
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 4: A lot of focus on me being upstairs here with

216
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 4: these questions, but you're welcome to come sit there.

217
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 6: Yeah.

218
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 4: Look, I'm keeping an eye on the shot clock. Felt

219
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 4: like we had enough time, so you know, we we

220
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 4: certainly got set. We just didn't execute it in the moment.

221
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 8: You guys had some success running the ball just yeah,

222
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 8: but some of them before we are to meet.

223
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 6: Them before fourth and one. Maybe it was the second to.

224
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 4: Third one, correct, Ye, We would love to just go

225
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 4: get it there, right. We ran the wide zone on

226
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 4: third and one. We had a tight or a duo

227
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 4: on third and two and or second and two, and

228
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 4: like we felt like we could get We were trying

229
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 4: to sequence, like, hey, let's go steal it on this one,

230
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 4: knowing that we're going to move forward and get the

231
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 4: first Sorry, I didn't mean to cut off your question.

232
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 8: I guess did they change something that kind of took

233
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 8: away some.

234
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 6: Of the early success.

235
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 4: They played us differently in the second half, they played

236
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 4: a different front. Certainly, we were still like if you

237
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 4: look at those first couple of drives in the second half,

238
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 4: we were still about five yards of pop in the

239
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 4: run game. You know, we had a couple of good

240
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 4: ones to get a first down. We started the drive,

241
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 4: we got stopped on. We started with the sprint out,

242
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 4: got eight yards, and then you know, had two one

243
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:42,440
Speaker 4: yard runs, which are we had been running it so

244
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 4: much more effectively up to that point, and that's when

245
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 4: we got stopped on fourth down.

246
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 7: But you know, when we were backed up.

247
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 4: We got we ran two runs and got a first

248
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,439
Speaker 4: down and had some success there. So it felt like

249
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 4: we were still running the ball at a pretty good clip.

250
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 4: And then once it became a two score game, obviously

251
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 4: the game flow becomes a little bit different. But we

252
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 4: knew that we felt really good about our matchups and

253
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 4: our run plan going into the game, and you know,

254
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 4: it felt like in the first half there there was

255
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 4: really some time where we were in control of the

256
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 4: momentum of the game because we were able to run

257
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 4: the ball. It's such a good clip, you know for us,

258
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 4: we fell short in some situational football. We got into

259
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:23,199
Speaker 4: the high kind of strike zone area and unfortunately went

260
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 4: backwards and lost three points of the opportunity for three

261
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 4: points there we got to a fourth and one twice

262
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 4: didn't execute like we got to be really good in

263
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 4: those critical moments to stay on the field and you know,

264
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:35,320
Speaker 4: obviously score more points.

265
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 3: So kind of going week to week with your quarterback

266
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,119
Speaker 3: decision and naming the start.

267
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 4: Like that, what are they you said, Yeah, I just

268
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 4: think it. You know, one breeze confidence into the group

269
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 4: and the player, and you know, allows you to put

270
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 4: a game plan together that you know is tailored to

271
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 4: that to that individual, and one that you feel like

272
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,680
Speaker 4: gives them the most confidence and chance to have success.

273
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 14: Benefits our to Hanka Shong in the on the practice

274
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:04,680
Speaker 14: field for these young quarterbacks that.

275
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 4: Actually, yeah, I mean he's Deshaun's been so great throughout

276
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 4: the year in the meeting room with the young guys

277
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,679
Speaker 4: with the vets, Like I can't say enough good things

278
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:16,960
Speaker 4: about him, I really can't. And then his ability to

279
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 4: be out there and see things and communicate talk to

280
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 4: those young players them to also just like observe and

281
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:25,679
Speaker 4: learn from a guy that's played at a really, really

282
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 4: high level in this league and has been through a

283
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,440
Speaker 4: lot of the battles that young quarterbacks face, Like, I

284
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,679
Speaker 4: think their ability to just see that in person, and

285
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 4: you know, similar to what it was like when Joe

286
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:38,959
Speaker 4: was here and being able to observe and then also

287
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 4: be able to lean on him on the field and

288
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:41,559
Speaker 4: in the meeting room.

289
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 10: During the pre Jeff prots. During the pre Jeff process.

290
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 13: You guys, obviously did you do diligence in all these quarterbacks?

291
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 13: Just what we're conversations like with Cam and you know

292
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 13: what stood out about him as a as a player

293
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 13: as you.

294
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 4: Guys get competitive, like ultra competitive, good free throw shooter.

295
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:01,719
Speaker 7: I think he knocked down nine straight out here.

296
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 4: Really enjoyed our time with Cam, like we'll be a

297
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 4: fan of his and rooting for him.

298
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 7: Just his family was great.

299
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 4: He has a good way about confident, ultra competitive, like

300
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,079
Speaker 4: made up of the right stuff, and so.

301
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 7: We'll be rooting for Cam throughout his career.

302
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,560
Speaker 4: Just through my brief interactions with him leading up to

303
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 4: the draft, like, really liked the kid and really liked

304
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 4: what he was about.

305
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,199
Speaker 3: There's been a chance and Deshaun is ready to run

306
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 3: the scout team. How might that be good for your

307
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,119
Speaker 3: defense just in terms of maybe seeing a duel threat quarterback.

308
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 7: Yeah, those are not up to me.

309
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 4: So we'll see how things transpire, and our focus is

310
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,680
Speaker 4: to let's get to Sean comfortable and better and feeling good,

311
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 4: and then we'll see where things go up next.

312
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 1: Defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz on some league wide honors that

313
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 1: three of his players received this week.

314
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 3: So how does it kind of feel to have those

315
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 3: guys get recognized.

316
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 10: In their big months?

317
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:57,559
Speaker 15: Yeah, I'll go three. Grant Delpit Cleveland Browns Man of

318
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,200
Speaker 15: the Year, the Walter Payton Man of the Year, which

319
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 15: is an extremely prestigious honor. Also, so congratulations to him,

320
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:12,199
Speaker 15: Carson Defensive Rookie of the Month. I think he still

321
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 15: got a lot more in front of him. And then Miles,

322
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 15: you know, he'd only get ignored so many times on

323
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 15: Player of the Week, that has to be player.

324
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 6: Of the month.

325
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 15: I mean, I think I can speak for all those guys,

326
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 15: maybe other than Grant, because Grant's award really not on

327
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 15: the field, but those other guys would swap those awards

328
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 15: for wins. And that's where we are right now.

329
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 8: Samy Miles had last week against the forty Actors.

330
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 6: That move he made to the left, just what do

331
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 6: you think.

332
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 15: When you need to see him with Yeah, big guys

333
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 15: like that shouldn't be able to make moves like that.

334
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 15: It's crazy that way. You know, some of his best

335
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 15: I mean that was a great rush. Some of his

336
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 15: best rushes didn't result in sacks. I mean he had

337
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 15: some early in the game where I mean that was

338
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 15: like I had said last week.

339
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 7: You know that's Hall.

340
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 15: Of Famer versus Hall of Famer and you know, impressive,

341
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 15: impressive stuff out of out of both of those guys.

342
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 8: Need for the rest of the season.

343
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 7: How much does that Herd and kind to step up

344
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 7: in the back now?

345
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 16: Now?

346
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 15: Yeah, Malik Malik was playing great football for us, probably

347
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 15: the best football of his career. Was an inside presence

348
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 15: for US. Was a guy that could win one on ones,

349
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 15: you know, So you know, it just really falls to everybody.

350
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 15: I don't know that anybody has to like to like whatever,

351
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 15: do more. They all just have to be themselves and

352
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 15: they'll get more opportunities, and I think that's probably the

353
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 15: biggest thing, is you have to make the most of

354
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 15: those opportunities, you know whatever, whether you're Mason, whether you're Shelby,

355
00:15:55,480 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 15: whether you're Sam, whether you're Mike, maybe Aiden and Aiden's

356
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 15: able to come back. It just provides opportunity for those

357
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 15: guys and they have to do something with that opportunity.

358
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 7: I would say this, I.

359
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 15: Mean we lost, we lost Mason, I mean we lost.

360
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 6: Malik in that game.

361
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 15: I was very very impressed by Mason in that game,

362
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 15: you know, like played super super hard, was all.

363
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 7: Over the field.

364
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 6: You know.

365
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 15: I think, you know, every week we're saying we're seeing

366
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 15: better from him, and I think that was another another

367
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 15: big set it. It's only a matter of time before

368
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 15: we start seeing that the level of play start equaling

369
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 15: the production, Like the stat sheet kind of stuff for Mason.

370
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 10: What is the mood of the defensive line worm when

371
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 10: you're preparing for a team that's given up the most sacks.

372
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 15: I don't know that really changes from a weekly basis.

373
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 15: You look at individual matchups, you look at scheme, you know,

374
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 15: so like I think that stuff is, you know, with

375
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 15: the focuses on and not necessarily the number of sacks

376
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,640
Speaker 15: that they've given up. And when when we look at film,

377
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 15: a lot of times you're looking at games that you

378
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 15: think are similar or you know, closer to where you're playing,

379
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 15: so maybe you don't even see all those things. I'd

380
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 15: say this, like our when our d line creates pressure

381
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:24,679
Speaker 15: tackles for losses, just rereeks havoc. We're at our best

382
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:27,400
Speaker 15: and we need those guys to do that for us,

383
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 15: not just in the past game, but in the run

384
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 15: game here also we've had a high percentage of tackles

385
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 15: for losses. We have a high percentage of sacks. We

386
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 15: don't necessarily have a you know, absolute number because we

387
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:43,920
Speaker 15: don't have as many attempts, but we're going to need

388
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:45,440
Speaker 15: that from those guys in this game.

389
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:51,119
Speaker 10: Let's see camp Ward on film study. Does he share

390
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:52,360
Speaker 10: that sac number with.

391
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 6: His line when you see Yeah.

392
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:57,119
Speaker 15: I mean, I don't want to go into their coaching

393
00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 15: and things like that, but I just say philosophically or

394
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:03,959
Speaker 15: just generally, you know, just a little bit like when

395
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,400
Speaker 15: you give up a play on defense and everybody says, well,

396
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:09,639
Speaker 15: that corner gave up a play, and you're like, yeah,

397
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 15: but we didn't get any pressure or he was expecting

398
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:15,359
Speaker 15: help here. It's it's very rarely a one person thing.

399
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 15: So I just say in general, like anytime an offense

400
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 15: takes sacks, there's a lot of different places. It's scheme,

401
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 15: it's execution a scheme, it's individual you know, whatever technique

402
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 15: up front, it's receivers getting open, it's the quarterback knowing

403
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 15: where to go and and things like that, and if

404
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:41,360
Speaker 15: one of those things breaks down. All those things can

405
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 15: be perfect, and one of those things break down, then

406
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 15: you'll you'll get a sack. You know, everything can be perfect,

407
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:50,640
Speaker 15: and if an offensive lineman gets beat quick, you're going.

408
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 7: To get a sack.

409
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 15: Or if a quarterback is expecting a receiver in a

410
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 15: certain spot it's not there, or the quarterback isn't prepared

411
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 15: to throw quick because didn't see the didn't see the.

412
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 7: Overload, or whatever it is.

413
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 15: I think it's very rare that you can that you

414
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 15: can attribute anything to one individual player, whether it's offense, defense,

415
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 15: or even special teams.

416
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 17: Miles being four sacks away from that NFL record, how

417
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:21,120
Speaker 17: does his individual accolades and the things that he's able

418
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 17: to do as a as one player effort wise impact

419
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:26,120
Speaker 17: the rest of your defense.

420
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 15: Yeah, he's obviously unique player and a game changing player.

421
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:37,440
Speaker 15: So I think, you know, players in general feed off

422
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 15: each other, and I think it's no different for somebody

423
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 15: like Miles. With Miles is rushing well, it energizes the

424
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 15: rest of the group, And when the rest of the

425
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 15: group is rushing well, it energizes Miles. And I'd say

426
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:52,160
Speaker 15: that through all eleven guys on defense, you know, we're

427
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,919
Speaker 15: a team that you know, we try to play physical,

428
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 15: we try to play with great effort, and we try

429
00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 15: to show some personality. Well, it's that personality shows to

430
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 15: a lot when when guys are making plays, guys are

431
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,959
Speaker 15: celebrating on the field, that that synergy is building, and

432
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 15: you know, guys are feeding off of each other with

433
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 15: that energy. So we we certainly, we certainly do that

434
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 15: with Miles. But I think also I think he entered,

435
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 15: he gets energized with some other players. I think it's

436
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 15: easy to see on film a lot of times see

437
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,639
Speaker 15: him congratuate in some of the other players, and he

438
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:27,880
Speaker 15: comes over the sideline a lot of times maybe he'll

439
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 15: take a triple team and somebody else will make a

440
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,400
Speaker 15: sack and he's really happy for that guy that gives

441
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 15: us a lot of energy.

442
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 18: Also, see when you look at Cam Morden's numbers a

443
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:38,480
Speaker 18: great what do you see.

444
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:39,200
Speaker 6: When you look at him?

445
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:44,119
Speaker 15: Yeah, I mean he's rookie quarterback, so you know, going

446
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 15: through you know, it's it's it's hard to evaluate them

447
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 15: without one hundred percent knowing exactly what their scheme is

448
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 15: and things like that. But has taken a taking a

449
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 15: bunch of sacks, and probably one of the biggest things

450
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:00,879
Speaker 15: for us is we we really.

451
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,680
Speaker 6: Got to be we got to be.

452
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:07,920
Speaker 15: Disruptive in the middle of the pocket because he's given

453
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 15: up a lot of fumbles this year. Also, and you

454
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 15: know it's one thing to take sacks, but you turn

455
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 15: a sack into a fumble, those are I mean, sacks

456
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 15: are game changing plays. Forced fumbles in the pocket are

457
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 15: huge plays. So we'll need we'll need stuff like that.

458
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:28,119
Speaker 10: Also, I think Bubba Baker's twenty three sacks and seventy

459
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 10: eight should be the record.

460
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 15: He has twenty three and then was it was it

461
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 15: was seventy eight. Yeah, I think it was seventy eight

462
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 15: that that he put Burt Jones out for a separated shoulder,

463
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,160
Speaker 15: and I think it was the last preseason game back

464
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:48,199
Speaker 15: when you used that six preseason games. I was a

465
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:50,719
Speaker 15: Baltimore cult fan, grew up in Baltimore, and Burt Jones

466
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 15: was my my favorite player. And I think it was

467
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 15: the last preseason game and he separated Burt Jones's shoulder,

468
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:01,880
Speaker 15: And I mean the Colts had just come off a

469
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 15: AFC championship appearance in seventy seven, and it really just

470
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:09,640
Speaker 15: derailed them. They opened, I think with Cowboys that year

471
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 15: and they started a third quarterback got named Mike Kirkland

472
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:16,919
Speaker 15: from Arkansas against the Cowboys on like Monday night, tough duty.

473
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:20,639
Speaker 7: So yeah, I mean, I don't know.

474
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 15: I mean, that's where I wish, you know, Lucarelli were

475
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 15: around to give us some to give us some perspective

476
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:31,119
Speaker 15: because he was such a historian and knew the history

477
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:33,640
Speaker 15: of the game and things like that. I can't really

478
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:39,959
Speaker 15: speak for where stats were and things like that. I

479
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 15: know this, like a lot of times in those sixties

480
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:47,160
Speaker 15: and seventies and stuff like that, guys threw the ball

481
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 15: a lot less, so there was less opportunity to make plays.

482
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:52,919
Speaker 15: But you turn around and look at some of the

483
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 15: ways they had to pass protect. I mean, Bubba Baker

484
00:22:56,560 --> 00:23:00,399
Speaker 15: got helped by offensive lineman having to do this, you know,

485
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:04,399
Speaker 15: and and the quarterbacks dropped like eighteen yards deep. I

486
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 15: mean they were like like doing one hundred meter dash

487
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 15: to try to get deep. Stuff like that doesn't exist.

488
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 15: So eras sort of stayed the same. But I'd leave

489
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 15: that up to the historians that know. I know, I

490
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:18,440
Speaker 15: know Al Baker was a great player for the Lions.

491
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 15: He was he was a feared player. We've you know,

492
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 15: I've had a lot of great pass rushers over the years,

493
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:25,879
Speaker 15: and we've studied a lot of the guys that Deacon

494
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 15: Jones is in the Al Bubba Bakers and you know

495
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 15: you name it the Lawrence Taylors. So if Miles is

496
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 15: able to cross that bridge, you know, that's that that's

497
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:39,919
Speaker 15: you know what we talk about club records and you

498
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:43,199
Speaker 15: talk about maybe U you know, season record lead in

499
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,679
Speaker 15: the NFL, but when you talk about the all time record,

500
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 15: that that says, that says an awful lot, particularly a

501
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 15: lot of the players that have played.

502
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:52,120
Speaker 2: In the past.

503
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 8: Miles, you know, you talk about all the time, but

504
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:56,880
Speaker 8: when you get a short field, you got to try

505
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:57,879
Speaker 8: to keep him the three points.

506
00:23:58,280 --> 00:23:59,879
Speaker 6: So I disappointed were you in that?

507
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 8: And what it looked like third down point, you're a chance.

508
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:06,199
Speaker 15: Yeah, that was that was probably the biggest thing in

509
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:07,920
Speaker 15: that game. We did a lot of really good things

510
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:10,239
Speaker 15: in that game, Like we held them the less than

511
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 15: four yards. I think it was like three point eight

512
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:14,879
Speaker 15: yards of play, which is really good. And you know

513
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 15: McCaffrey the leading you know scrimmage yards. You know, I

514
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 15: think he had like seventy five yards on a lot

515
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 15: of touches. He was like two point eight a touch,

516
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 15: which is obviously what you got to do with those guys.

517
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 15: I think really that that game in the in the whatever,

518
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 15: the crucible, whatever you want to call it, was the

519
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 15: third downs, particularly in the red zone.

520
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:41,640
Speaker 2: You know, like we get a chance to hold.

521
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 15: Those to three and be able to get off the field,

522
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 15: and you're not gonna make everyone. I mean, that's a

523
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 15: talented group. There's a group that can do a lot

524
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:51,120
Speaker 15: of things. But that was probably the tailent of tape

525
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 15: in that game. We need to do fifty percent better

526
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:58,120
Speaker 15: job on third down. Half of those completions or half

527
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 15: of those conversions, and none of them were like big plays.

528
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 15: It was just you know, you got a short field

529
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 15: and two yards means an awful lot or you know,

530
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 15: the ability to convert in in.

531
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 7: Some of those.

532
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,679
Speaker 15: So that's the biggest thing I was disappointed in that

533
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 15: game is is our it was. It was frustrating and

534
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:21,159
Speaker 15: our ability to knock it off the field on some

535
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 15: of those third downs, especially in the red zone.

536
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 7: Again, that's a good group.

537
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 2: We think we're a good group.

538
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 15: We got to find a way to be a little

539
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 15: bit better in there and then holding them the field

540
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:33,720
Speaker 15: goals there, you know we can keep that. We can

541
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:37,639
Speaker 15: keep that game at least manageable within a score. It

542
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:41,439
Speaker 15: was two scores I think with about seven minutes left

543
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:45,400
Speaker 15: or something like that. But obviously that goes a long way,

544
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 15: and you know that's where we we we failed to

545
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 15: get the job done.

546
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 1: On Sunday, special teams coordinator bubbav and Trone talked about

547
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 1: the punt coverage unit against the forty nine ers.

548
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 3: How would you kind of wrap up how how it

549
00:25:58,040 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 3: went for.

550
00:25:58,400 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 6: You guys, you know with a.

551
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:04,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, we had a we had a few ball handling issues.

552
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:08,879
Speaker 19: You know, I think that those guys obviously have learned

553
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 19: from those those mistakes. We we actually covered the Coarly

554
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 19: play in the Friday meeting, which is ironic, but you

555
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 19: get to the sideline and he knows he made the

556
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 19: mistake and just you just gotta go, You gotta you

557
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 19: gotta be able to execute it in in time. And

558
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 19: then obviously Gage had the muff that that ended up

559
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 19: being a turnover young young player, you know, his first

560
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 19: time really doing it consistently and being the main guy.

561
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:42,119
Speaker 2: We had a lot of there's significant win.

562
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,160
Speaker 19: They're not making an excuse for the for the kid,

563
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:49,679
Speaker 19: but significant win. Playing away from the dog pound. You know,

564
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:52,919
Speaker 19: he's he's made that catch a million times, So just

565
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 19: gonna be able to finish it and focus and and

566
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 19: finish on the.

567
00:26:56,000 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 2: Catch were supposed to them. So what you can do

568
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 2: in that situation.

569
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 19: I think that the ball had enough momentum on it

570
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:06,880
Speaker 19: that it was going to just go out of bounds anyway.

571
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 19: But we tell our guys that if it's close and

572
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:11,919
Speaker 19: the ball was like say the ball is like rolling

573
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 19: near the sideline, establish your foot out of bounds and

574
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 19: then you can contact the ball and the ball would

575
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 19: go to the forty. So I just think, you know,

576
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 19: being a I would say, he's he's new to the position,

577
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 19: hasn't had a ton of experience back there, And I

578
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:31,920
Speaker 19: think with experience that he'll he'll continue to improve and

579
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 19: get better. It obviously was unfortunate with the drive start there,

580
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:39,439
Speaker 19: but I'm confident that these guys are going to continue

581
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 19: to work and push through it.

582
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 6: So you guys are drill that during the week.

583
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 19: We cover it. I mean we cover it every week.

584
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:49,960
Speaker 19: We covered every week. We have situational stuff that we

585
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 19: do every Friday. We're always talking about the rules, especially

586
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:55,879
Speaker 19: with the new with the new kickoff format, there's a

587
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:58,679
Speaker 19: lot of things of play to play into that, and

588
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:00,680
Speaker 19: our guys have been educated on all those things.

589
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:02,719
Speaker 2: We just got to make sure that we're applying them

590
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:03,399
Speaker 2: into the game.

591
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 5: Having someone else at least ready uh to like back

592
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 5: up Gauge or.

593
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 19: Yeah, I think that for right now what our roster

594
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 19: looks like, I think Gauge is our best option.

595
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 2: So we have a lot of faith in him to

596
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 2: get it right.

597
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:27,719
Speaker 19: And look, he understands that there's a lot of pressure

598
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 19: at that position and we've got to be able to answer.

599
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:31,920
Speaker 19: We've got to be able to answer the bell. And

600
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:34,639
Speaker 19: you know, he'll put the work in, he'll put the

601
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:36,160
Speaker 19: time in to be able to do so.

602
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 12: I'm gonna kick off at the end of the first half,

603
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 12: did you guys intend to have that touch back?

604
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 6: We did not.

605
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 2: We did not.

606
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 19: Like I said, they actually had one too that they

607
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 19: looked like they were trying to force.

608
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 2: And you know, there's a fine line with the new format.

609
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 19: It's like there's times where you want to you want

610
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 19: to force the return, but there's other times where you

611
00:28:57,760 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 19: don't want to, Like you want to force the return,

612
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 19: but you don't want to leave the ball too short

613
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 19: and let them catch it at the fifteen yard line.

614
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 19: But different than last year because now last year you

615
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 19: could be more aggressive when you're kicking off to put

616
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 19: the ball near the goal line because if it ends

617
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 19: up being a touchback, it goes to the thirty But

618
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 19: now it's like, okay, you can't be when we got

619
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 19: a thirty mine hour wind at our back going that way,

620
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 19: he just taps the ball a little too hard and

621
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 19: now you're five deep in the end zone.

622
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 2: So there's a there's a fine line.

623
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 19: It's that's the thing with the with the new touchback role,

624
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 19: going to the thirty five, you can't be as aggressive

625
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 19: to put the ball right at the goal line because

626
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 19: one one one yard further than the goal line into

627
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 19: the end zone.

628
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 2: It's a touchback. So what about this guy?

629
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 19: Yes, I did, Yeah, I love the Kidge. Yes, yeah,

630
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:58,480
Speaker 19: we gotta have I mean, first off, great kid, really

631
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 19: enjoyed coaching him that week at the scene. Your bowlt

632
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 19: really really good skill set, fast, good ball skills, good

633
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 19: ball security, very good vision. Has the ability to run

634
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 19: every type of return out there.

635
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 2: So we will have to do a good job.

636
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 19: Look, since I've been a player and as a coach,

637
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 19: I've I've coached coveraged the same way. I've coached leveraged,

638
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:25,720
Speaker 19: leveraging the football the same way. We need to just

639
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 19: do a better job of making a tackle right even

640
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 19: in the game. We have multiple bodies at the spot

641
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 19: at the point of attack. Just got to find a

642
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 19: way to make a tackle. You know, and our and

643
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 19: our players understand that. They know, they know their responsibilities

644
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 19: and and what they're asked to do.

645
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 2: They we just need to execute at a higher level.

646
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 3: It's what you would say, like a top of sky more.

647
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 19: Yeah, if you go back and watch the clip, I mean,

648
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 19: we have seven guys right at the point of attack.

649
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:52,640
Speaker 2: We need to just make a tackle.

650
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:54,960
Speaker 6: Is Dka the.

651
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:57,240
Speaker 10: Best right now in the league? I know his numbers say.

652
00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:58,960
Speaker 2: Is, But do you feel he is. I think he's

653
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 2: definitely one of the best. I do. I think he's

654
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 2: one of the best in the league.

655
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 19: It'd be hard to say Marcus Jones isn't right right there,

656
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 19: you know, Marcus Jones has done it for multiple years,

657
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:10,600
Speaker 19: but both.

658
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:12,240
Speaker 2: I mean, there's a lot.

659
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 19: I would say, there's a lot of talented returners in

660
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:17,520
Speaker 19: the league right now, probably more than I can remember.

661
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 2: Honestly. Usually you can say, hey, this guy is the

662
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 2: best guy. You know, those guys turping.

663
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 19: I mean, there's a there's a bunch of guys that

664
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 19: are out there right now.

665
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 6: How can you explain, like they're.

666
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:30,520
Speaker 14: Kind of the hot and the cool that your unit

667
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 14: has been on these you know this season. How can

668
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 14: you kind of say, is that just the nature of special.

669
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 9: Teams or is there just something?

670
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:39,200
Speaker 19: Yeah? I think, I mean, I think a lot of

671
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:42,960
Speaker 19: things factor to it. I think just the continuity within

672
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 19: the group, the having like a mixed bag of a

673
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 19: lot of young players paired with some veterans that haven't

674
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 19: had as much experience doing it. There's something to be

675
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 19: said about just being able to be comfortable playing in

676
00:31:57,960 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 19: the kicking game.

677
00:31:58,760 --> 00:31:58,959
Speaker 6: You know.

678
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 19: I just remember, like when we had our best units.

679
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 19: When I played here in twenty and nine and ten,

680
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 19: we obviously had a really really good returner, but we

681
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 19: had a group of core players that had played together

682
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 19: and were very comfortable, like me, Blake Trell's Nick Nick,

683
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 19: like we had Luke Kaluka, Like, we had a group

684
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 19: that was like very just we just played well together

685
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 19: and you just play off of each other. And I

686
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 19: think we're just trying to get to that level, you know,

687
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 19: because of how we're built, and you have a lot

688
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 19: of young guys that are playing out there. So I

689
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 19: think that in time, and I'll say this too, like

690
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 19: I don't know any other way than to just keep

691
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 19: pushing these guys to work, Like just keep working, work,

692
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 19: just work at it, just keep working at it. And

693
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 19: the more reps we get, the better that we're going

694
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 19: to get, you know, now on and on down the road.

695
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 19: But I believe in I believe in the guys we have,

696
00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 19: and I think that will continue to just keep working

697
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 19: gang get better.

698
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 3: Are you missing that sort of enforcer guy on special

699
00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 3: teams that special teams A I mean, somebody like you

700
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 3: used to be or like I'm like four.

701
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:12,240
Speaker 18: Type of a guy.

702
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't. I don't know if we have a

703
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 2: guy that is like that is like that right now.

704
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 19: We have we have some veterans that are playing in

705
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:24,520
Speaker 19: like a phase or two that will be vocal at times.

706
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 19: But yeah, we probably you know, I would say, yeah,

707
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:32,400
Speaker 19: we probably don't have that one guy like that right now.

708
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 18: Yeah, according to you said in that early anyway, there

709
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 18: was not enough hang time on his punts.

710
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 6: Has that improved.

711
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 19: I think he's done a good Yeah, Like even on

712
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 19: the on the ball to sky more, I don't think that.

713
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 19: I think the hangtime was sufficient. Yeah, I think that

714
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:51,240
Speaker 19: it was solid on that rep.

715
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 5: And then are you making a lot of changes week

716
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:58,440
Speaker 5: to week on your punt coverage unit? You said these

717
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:01,360
Speaker 5: guys are trying to learn cohesion that you had.

718
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 2: But yeah, I just think that.

719
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:05,719
Speaker 19: I just think the more like time on task, the

720
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 19: more reps you get in game, the better that you're

721
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:12,920
Speaker 19: gonna the better you're gonna get. It's relative to the personnel. No,

722
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:15,040
Speaker 19: we haven't made a ton of personnel changes.

723
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 2: We don't.

724
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 19: There's only so many guys you can play, you know,

725
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:22,239
Speaker 19: there's only so many guys on the roster, so you're

726
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 19: not gonna make wholesale. You're not gonna be able to

727
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:26,359
Speaker 19: make wholesale changes on those units. There's only so many

728
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:27,840
Speaker 19: players available to do so.

729
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:29,480
Speaker 6: Year.

730
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:32,439
Speaker 10: For pump returns around the league, it seems like there's

731
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:34,520
Speaker 10: a lot of them for touchdowns.

732
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, like like the other night, Yeah, I guess so

733
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:43,719
Speaker 2: change No, No, there wasn't.

734
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:48,160
Speaker 8: The pump turned by s guy is great imposition to

735
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:49,840
Speaker 8: make a play there. It feels like a couple of

736
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:51,960
Speaker 8: long ones you've given up this year. He's been first

737
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:54,360
Speaker 8: down there, yet the guy goes by him. Does he

738
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:56,280
Speaker 8: need to break down more or is he doing.

739
00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 6: What he's supposed to do? Yeah?

740
00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 19: I think, I mean he's he's the only he's supposed to. Look,

741
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 19: that's a that's an extremely hard position to be in.

742
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:06,759
Speaker 19: I've missed a lot of tackles that same way. But

743
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 19: when you and you're trying to time up when to

744
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:11,839
Speaker 19: when to like start to get in that that that

745
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:15,759
Speaker 19: breakdown and gather phase. You know, we can probably do

746
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:20,680
Speaker 19: a better job with that with multiple players for your unit.

747
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:23,239
Speaker 14: Going into this game, after obviously not putting up the

748
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 14: performance that you guys would have liked to and having

749
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:26,800
Speaker 14: all those mistakes last.

750
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:30,800
Speaker 19: Week, I would say I mean this is we pretty

751
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 19: much said, like we're going to get back on track, right,

752
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:36,360
Speaker 19: get back to the fundamentals like we always do. We

753
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:40,200
Speaker 19: always harp on that the thing that I do love

754
00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 19: about our group, and I kind of I've done this

755
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 19: since I've been a coordinator in the league is I've

756
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 19: done the workshirt theme, like and I want everyone to

757
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:52,879
Speaker 19: like buy into like it's all about the work.

758
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:54,440
Speaker 2: It's all about the work you put in during the week.

759
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:57,799
Speaker 19: It's all about the work that you know your group

760
00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:03,279
Speaker 19: has together and like having having those guys being able

761
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:06,879
Speaker 19: to do that together and just understanding like like if

762
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:09,080
Speaker 19: we're gonna do this, like it's got to be together.

763
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:12,760
Speaker 19: Like whether it's a good play, bad play, and different

764
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:14,960
Speaker 19: whatever it ends up being, but we're working and we're

765
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:16,319
Speaker 19: working together to do so.

766
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 3: Since that Kevin and the organization that they understand that

767
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:24,239
Speaker 3: you're working with a lot of young guys that you

768
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:25,279
Speaker 3: lost your return at the.

769
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 2: Beginning of this year.

770
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:28,920
Speaker 19: I mean, I mean, I truly believe that I have

771
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 19: the support. I mean, it feels like I have the

772
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:32,840
Speaker 19: support of the head coach, the GM and the owners

773
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:37,440
Speaker 19: and ownership. I mean ab keV, Jimmy and j dub like,

774
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:41,760
Speaker 19: those guys have been very supportive. I think they definitely

775
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:47,480
Speaker 19: understand that we've lost guys in training camp. Winston Bookie,

776
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:50,879
Speaker 19: you know, you lose DC early in the year, so

777
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:52,840
Speaker 19: that then you have to then you have to piece

778
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:55,919
Speaker 19: the unit together. You're adding guys late, guys that haven't

779
00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 19: had as many reps to your unit. So it's like, yeah,

780
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:01,480
Speaker 19: I think, I mean, I have no I mean, I

781
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:06,319
Speaker 19: have no concerns about their whether they understand or like, yeah,

782
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:09,320
Speaker 19: I think they understand.

783
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:11,560
Speaker 6: Hey, did they come after tons and when the motor

784
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:14,239
Speaker 6: teams look like in the Jackson game became close to

785
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:14,839
Speaker 6: black and a month.

786
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:17,239
Speaker 2: They're aggressive. They definitely have an aggressive unit.

787
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 19: And also to start that game, something happened with I

788
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:24,040
Speaker 19: don't know that the exact situation, but their starting snapper

789
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:26,799
Speaker 19: was out and then he came back in late in

790
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:28,839
Speaker 19: the game. I read it was maybe a back thing

791
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 19: or something, but he didn't play the first handful of reps.

792
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 19: So they look at the head of ears pinned back

793
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:38,719
Speaker 19: and ready to pressure. So but no, they're they're very

794
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:43,320
Speaker 19: aggressive group, well coached, good good good group, good unit.

795
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:48,359
Speaker 19: Obviously great returner, so respect the respect their coordinator a lot.

796
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 1: Offensive guard Joel Buttonio talked about going up against a

797
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:53,800
Speaker 1: high motor defensive tackle like Jeffrey Simmons.

798
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:57,040
Speaker 20: Look at them, Jefferyons, just how good is he? Fis

799
00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 20: can't talk about he's playing great. I know the record,

800
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:02,000
Speaker 20: doesn't you know, show somebody. I think their defensive wall

801
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 20: has actually been pretty solid. You know, it's kind of

802
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:08,200
Speaker 20: similar to us where the offense and hasn't carried as much.

803
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:08,839
Speaker 6: But he's been great.

804
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:10,920
Speaker 20: He's playing I've played him a few times in my career,

805
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:12,960
Speaker 20: but he's almost even taking a step this year of

806
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 20: just his power and his speed and I think his

807
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:19,719
Speaker 20: hand combination and pass rushing. But no, he's playing great.

808
00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 20: He's definitely you know, the straw on their defense. So

809
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:24,960
Speaker 20: something we have to you know, focus on. Does he

810
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 20: go both sides? Yeah, he plays the three technique most

811
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:28,799
Speaker 20: of the time, but he'll line up at the shade

812
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:31,720
Speaker 20: all line up with the five and true pass situation.

813
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:33,279
Speaker 20: He kind of gets a pick where he wants to go,

814
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:35,560
Speaker 20: but he plays on the right end of the left.

815
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:37,480
Speaker 20: So I think all the interior guys, there's been a

816
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:39,719
Speaker 20: few lines up on the outsid everybody we're gonna you know,

817
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:41,640
Speaker 20: get their hands on a little bit.

818
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:42,360
Speaker 6: Kevin.

819
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:44,640
Speaker 9: Look yesterday last week when when he.

820
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:46,560
Speaker 6: Came in, Yeah, it was really solid. I mean he's

821
00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:47,279
Speaker 6: a big dude.

822
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:49,839
Speaker 20: He moves people in the run game, and I think

823
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:51,239
Speaker 20: you saw that in a few of those runs, Like

824
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:54,000
Speaker 20: there were some really good double teams and and some movement.

825
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:56,200
Speaker 20: You know, he's played a lot of football in this league,

826
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:57,880
Speaker 20: and he's he's been a starter his whole career, so

827
00:38:57,920 --> 00:38:59,839
Speaker 20: I think him having a chance to go in there

828
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:02,360
Speaker 20: and just play and get his feet wet a little bit.

829
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 20: This year, he's been our big tight end a lot,

830
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 20: but he did some good things like our.

831
00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:09,920
Speaker 3: What was it like practice?

832
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:13,120
Speaker 20: Yeah, it was cool. I mean, you know, I have

833
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:14,840
Speaker 20: my lockers next to him. So I've seen him for

834
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:17,879
Speaker 20: the last year and a little bit rehabbing every day.

835
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:20,480
Speaker 20: I mean, he's coming, he's put in work, he's he's

836
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:22,560
Speaker 20: done his due diligence, like I think, I think the

837
00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:25,400
Speaker 20: work has shown. So just taking that next step and

838
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:26,680
Speaker 20: and being out to be on the practice. But I

839
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:28,400
Speaker 20: think for him probably it feels like he's, you know,

840
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:30,239
Speaker 20: part of the guys again as well. You gotta go

841
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:31,840
Speaker 20: outside and be a part of it. So we were

842
00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:33,399
Speaker 20: all pumped for him to just see him out there,

843
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:35,000
Speaker 20: and he picked the coldest day of the year ago

844
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:37,239
Speaker 20: out there, But it was cool to see him.

845
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:40,120
Speaker 10: Well, did you know that Fancy was gonna rotate?

846
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:40,799
Speaker 6: Seven are?

847
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:42,360
Speaker 1: And how much of a transition is that?

848
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 20: For Yeah, we knew last week on with it. We

849
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:49,960
Speaker 20: didn't know like exactly what they're gonna rotate, but we

850
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:52,520
Speaker 20: knew him and why we're gonna rotate a little bit.

851
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:55,799
Speaker 6: I mean for me on the other side, not too much, you.

852
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:58,640
Speaker 20: Know, I know, probably Poe and Jack at the time,

853
00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:01,799
Speaker 20: you know, KT came in probably you know, they were

854
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:04,120
Speaker 20: splitting reps during the week, so they obviously got some

855
00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:07,640
Speaker 20: reps with him, you know, during the week. So so

856
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:10,879
Speaker 20: we hadn't understanding what was happening. But like I said,

857
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:14,120
Speaker 20: like both of them are very professional and both I

858
00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:16,600
Speaker 20: think played really really well last week, So I you know,

859
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:18,640
Speaker 20: it was it was a positive matter of fact, and

860
00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:20,680
Speaker 20: I think everybody kind of was.

861
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:23,160
Speaker 6: It was a smooth transition.

862
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:24,719
Speaker 12: But what do you what does it kind of say

863
00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:26,960
Speaker 12: about whytt that you know, obviously that's tough to hear

864
00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:29,000
Speaker 12: that you're gonna have to rotate, but he sort of

865
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:31,160
Speaker 12: embraced that. You know, helping TeV and get ready and

866
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:32,520
Speaker 12: still doing his job too.

867
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:35,960
Speaker 20: Yeah, I mean class act professional like since he's been here,

868
00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:39,319
Speaker 20: like I've probably played you know, more football games like

869
00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:42,280
Speaker 20: on the offense with you know why, it is probably

870
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:44,520
Speaker 20: the guy, right, Like, you know, I've had a lot

871
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:46,600
Speaker 20: of a lot of games with that guy. And you know,

872
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:49,440
Speaker 20: I tell people all the time, like he's gonna come

873
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:51,360
Speaker 20: and work, He's gonna he's gonna, you know, put the

874
00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:53,879
Speaker 20: team first. He's gonna try his you know, butt off.

875
00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:57,080
Speaker 20: He's he's tough and competitive, all those things you want.

876
00:40:57,120 --> 00:40:59,880
Speaker 20: And so to hear that news, obviously you're you're devastated

877
00:40:59,880 --> 00:41:02,360
Speaker 20: and you want to make it work. He wasn't happy

878
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:04,279
Speaker 20: about it, you know, but I think he came in

879
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:06,839
Speaker 20: and and he helped TeV and they were talking all

880
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:09,080
Speaker 20: week and he worked and I think I mean both,

881
00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:10,279
Speaker 20: like I said, both of them played great. I think

882
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:11,840
Speaker 20: why he played, you know, one of his better games

883
00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:14,440
Speaker 20: in a while last week, and he was motivated. Obviously,

884
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:17,520
Speaker 20: you know, he got banged up, but all that is

885
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:19,560
Speaker 20: just professionalism what he's done.

886
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:20,759
Speaker 6: You know, since he's been here.

887
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:26,239
Speaker 5: It seems like Dylan Samson is getting more involved in

888
00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:29,160
Speaker 5: the last couple of weeks. How have you seen him improved?

889
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:30,920
Speaker 20: Yeah, he's been great. I remember the first game of

890
00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:32,160
Speaker 20: the year, you know, he had all those catches and

891
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:35,080
Speaker 20: was making those plays out of the backfield, and I think.

892
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:36,280
Speaker 6: We all saw like his ability.

893
00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:38,520
Speaker 20: And then we went through gosh, a six game stretch

894
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:40,879
Speaker 20: where every run he had was like a you know,

895
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:42,960
Speaker 20: someone unblocked off the edge or something. You know, it

896
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:45,160
Speaker 20: was never I've been joking. In the last three weeks,

897
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:47,760
Speaker 20: we finally you know, blocked some plays for him to

898
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:50,080
Speaker 20: to make some big things. But I think when he

899
00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:52,160
Speaker 20: you know, gets the ball and he has a little

900
00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:54,480
Speaker 20: bit of space, like he makes big plays happen, you know,

901
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:56,359
Speaker 20: in the passing game and the running game. We saw

902
00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:59,600
Speaker 20: the screen a couple of weeks ago. So it's great.

903
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:01,720
Speaker 20: You know, he's he's a weapon for our offense.

904
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:04,399
Speaker 10: Joel, there's not a starter on the offensive line he's

905
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:10,040
Speaker 10: signed beyond this year. How's that contributing to your future decision?

906
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:15,000
Speaker 20: I don't think that has any any uh, you know,

907
00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:19,720
Speaker 20: place in my decision. You know, I think it is unprecedented,

908
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:22,880
Speaker 20: like you could have a whole new lineup, you know,

909
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:25,080
Speaker 20: if things fallow the right way or they can, you know,

910
00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:27,120
Speaker 20: re sign some guys or things happen. But for me,

911
00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:30,279
Speaker 20: it's it's really just gonna be uh, you know, that's

912
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:33,959
Speaker 20: more of a personal decision on it. You know, they'll,

913
00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:36,960
Speaker 20: I think they'll figure out the guys if if they

914
00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:37,760
Speaker 20: need to go that route.

915
00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:42,920
Speaker 5: Does does the fact that you're heading toward another losing season,

916
00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:46,919
Speaker 5: does that effect your decision for next year?

917
00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:48,360
Speaker 6: Yeah? At all factors in.

918
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:52,879
Speaker 20: You know, if you're if you're making a super Bowl

919
00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:54,879
Speaker 20: run every year, it might be easier to be like, hey,

920
00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:57,759
Speaker 20: let's let's let's go on more, you know what I mean,

921
00:42:57,760 --> 00:42:59,239
Speaker 20: like we have a chance. I think you saw Kelsey

922
00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:02,239
Speaker 20: at the end of his career in Philadelphia, like they

923
00:43:02,239 --> 00:43:04,040
Speaker 20: were fighting for super Bowls. He had won a couple

924
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:05,640
Speaker 20: of super Bowls, but they you know, he wanted to

925
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:08,000
Speaker 20: try and try and get another one, you know, And

926
00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:10,800
Speaker 20: I think that's part of it. But there's so many factors.

927
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:13,480
Speaker 20: And I think first and foremost it's just health and

928
00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:16,920
Speaker 20: body and all that is is the main contributor. But

929
00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:21,640
Speaker 20: you obviously factor in all those, uh, all those different decisions.

930
00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:22,200
Speaker 5: I was good.

931
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:25,160
Speaker 6: I feel at this point there be good.

932
00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:27,560
Speaker 20: I mean it's week fourteen, right, like there's gonna be

933
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:30,319
Speaker 20: bumps and bruises, but I've uh, you know, we got

934
00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:32,680
Speaker 20: a great staff here that has helped me this year,

935
00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:36,560
Speaker 20: and we got some really individualized plans for me. So

936
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:39,680
Speaker 20: it's it's been positive. But I'm feeling as good as

937
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:40,399
Speaker 20: you can right now.

938
00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:42,520
Speaker 16: I don't know if you paid too much attention to

939
00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:45,960
Speaker 16: the the of the rankings, both team wide.

940
00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:50,160
Speaker 3: And individually, but being like number.

941
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:55,600
Speaker 16: Twelve amun regards, do you feel kind of this accurate

942
00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:57,320
Speaker 16: type of season?

943
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:00,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think it's off. It's a line. I mean,

944
00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:02,359
Speaker 6: you want, like it's just bred in us.

945
00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:05,200
Speaker 20: You want team success, you want offensive success as much

946
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:09,719
Speaker 20: as possible, you know, and and you know you get

947
00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:13,000
Speaker 20: coached and talking to the coaches and how they coached me.

948
00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:15,239
Speaker 20: I think that's accurate, you know what I mean. I

949
00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:17,760
Speaker 20: think there's been some really positive things that I've still done.

950
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:21,120
Speaker 20: But you just want success, like you want the team

951
00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:22,960
Speaker 20: to do better. You want to win games, like you

952
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:24,799
Speaker 20: walk in the locker room after winning. That's where all

953
00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:27,520
Speaker 20: the work, you know, pays off. And so that's always

954
00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:30,520
Speaker 20: my first thought in those type of situations.

955
00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:35,880
Speaker 6: You get David and Joko guest.

956
00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:39,719
Speaker 20: Apparent at first fortune one year, Ethan and then Tom

957
00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:42,520
Speaker 20: you just talked about how the defensive line stunted or moved,

958
00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:45,560
Speaker 20: So like what's the counter for that for you guys? Yeah,

959
00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:48,319
Speaker 20: we were, you know, we were short yards kind of

960
00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:51,920
Speaker 20: expecting them to play their gaps and and that's why

961
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:54,120
Speaker 20: I think you see some of us firing off and

962
00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:55,960
Speaker 20: and you're trying to get a yard, so you're fighting

963
00:44:55,960 --> 00:45:00,759
Speaker 20: for every inch, you know, I mean truthfully, like there's

964
00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:03,359
Speaker 20: other plays we can run in those situations where you're

965
00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:06,080
Speaker 20: not as like forward and wedging, but also you can

966
00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:08,040
Speaker 20: be a little bit more into control as a player

967
00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:11,200
Speaker 20: as well and ready to expect that. But I think

968
00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:14,120
Speaker 20: we'll you know, correct those mistakes and be ready to

969
00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:15,120
Speaker 20: roll once we.

970
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:18,480
Speaker 6: Uh, you know, get some shortyards opportunities this week.

971
00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:22,080
Speaker 13: You guys relish those like when you Kevin's coming through

972
00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:25,279
Speaker 13: the thought busses and making those calls and closed down

973
00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:27,759
Speaker 13: like that just down the field, like howege especially to

974
00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:30,279
Speaker 13: make this climate, usually relish.

975
00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:31,359
Speaker 7: That opportunity to try to keep over.

976
00:45:32,040 --> 00:45:34,399
Speaker 20: Yeah, we you know, anytime you get a chance where

977
00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:36,279
Speaker 20: it's like hey, we're running the ball, we're trying to

978
00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:39,200
Speaker 20: get a yard, Like that's our time to shine, you know,

979
00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:41,680
Speaker 20: and and so we want to make those plays happen

980
00:45:41,719 --> 00:45:43,879
Speaker 20: and in that game they're big moments, Like those two

981
00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:46,560
Speaker 20: plays are are huge moments. And we've been pretty scent

982
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:48,680
Speaker 20: like I think our other short yards this year has

983
00:45:48,680 --> 00:45:52,560
Speaker 20: been pretty successful, and it was unfortunate we didn't make

984
00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:53,319
Speaker 20: those work this week.

985
00:45:56,960 --> 00:45:58,239
Speaker 6: Yeah, he had I.

986
00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:00,200
Speaker 20: Mean that one drive where we were running the ball

987
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:01,200
Speaker 20: all you know, I think we had eight or nine

988
00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:02,920
Speaker 20: straight runs and then he threw that ball to fan In.

989
00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:05,120
Speaker 20: I think that was a big time play, Like you

990
00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:07,160
Speaker 20: have your chance, you've been running the ball, you take

991
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:09,879
Speaker 20: a shot. And and he stepped up and made those plays.

992
00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:11,839
Speaker 20: I think he was taking the easy stuff. We had

993
00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:13,480
Speaker 20: a lot of screen it was you know, windy and stuff.

994
00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:15,200
Speaker 20: We had a lot of screens and short yardage plays

995
00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:16,560
Speaker 20: that he was. He was extual, you know, I mean

996
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:19,400
Speaker 20: his huddle presence, his ability to you know, call the

997
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:21,040
Speaker 20: plays and get us on the same page. I think

998
00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:24,439
Speaker 20: has improved over the last the last couple of years,

999
00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:25,799
Speaker 20: so I think, I mean last couple of weeks.

1000
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:27,600
Speaker 6: So it's been, uh, it's been really good.

1001
00:46:27,719 --> 00:46:31,040
Speaker 1: Up next, linebacker Carson Swessinger, who was named the NFL's

1002
00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:33,120
Speaker 1: defensive Rookie of the Month for November.

1003
00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:39,520
Speaker 5: Congratulations, did you get anything for that?

1004
00:46:37,239 --> 00:46:37,839
Speaker 2: Idea?

1005
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:42,759
Speaker 16: What kind of an honor is it to be recognized

1006
00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:43,080
Speaker 16: like that.

1007
00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:47,080
Speaker 21: Yeah, it's a great honor, and you know, I'm thankful

1008
00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:49,400
Speaker 21: for it, and just you know, it shows shows the

1009
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:51,560
Speaker 21: work that I put in. But I think there's a

1010
00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:53,839
Speaker 21: lot of guys on the defense there worthy of all

1011
00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:56,000
Speaker 21: sorts of boards. I mean, we got Maze playing up

1012
00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:58,239
Speaker 21: there too. It has just been getting better every week.

1013
00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:00,480
Speaker 21: And and you know, I think as a defense we're

1014
00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:01,120
Speaker 21: playing great.

1015
00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:03,760
Speaker 22: Carson the fact that you know, you get that Miles

1016
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:06,680
Speaker 22: gets defensive players a month. He's chasing the SAX title. Like,

1017
00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:08,719
Speaker 22: I know, the wins and losses haven't been what you

1018
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:11,560
Speaker 22: guys wanted, but some of these performances you guys are

1019
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:13,480
Speaker 22: having on defense, the like how much pride do you

1020
00:47:13,520 --> 00:47:14,200
Speaker 22: guys still.

1021
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:15,279
Speaker 12: Taken that as a group.

1022
00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:18,239
Speaker 21: I think as a defense, every time we take the field, uh,

1023
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:20,160
Speaker 21: you know, we we take it with pride and and

1024
00:47:20,360 --> 00:47:23,319
Speaker 21: you know, our goals is to you know, earn in

1025
00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:26,480
Speaker 21: in game respect when we're out there from from you know, everybody,

1026
00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:29,279
Speaker 21: and I think that's something we've we've continued to do.

1027
00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:32,279
Speaker 21: I you said you mentioned with Miles. I mean, you

1028
00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:34,280
Speaker 21: know what, what he's been able to do is non normal,

1029
00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:35,560
Speaker 21: but we're almost just.

1030
00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:36,040
Speaker 6: Used to it.

1031
00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:36,440
Speaker 2: Uh.

1032
00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:38,680
Speaker 21: I wouldn't be surprised if he somehow broke it, broke

1033
00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:40,400
Speaker 21: the record the next game, which would be, you know,

1034
00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:45,680
Speaker 21: another five sack game or whatever. But yeah, yeah.

1035
00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:49,080
Speaker 10: So this your first year obviously playing here, So I

1036
00:47:49,160 --> 00:47:51,080
Speaker 10: just wanted to know what feelings now that you were

1037
00:47:51,120 --> 00:47:54,120
Speaker 10: almost going through the season, your killings and shots.

1038
00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:54,920
Speaker 6: Uh.

1039
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:58,359
Speaker 21: I love playing in his defense. I love playing for him.

1040
00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:00,440
Speaker 21: Just being able as a as a linebacker to attack

1041
00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:04,560
Speaker 21: and then uh, you know, I think just the not

1042
00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:07,480
Speaker 21: not simplicity, but just being able to make it so

1043
00:48:07,520 --> 00:48:09,560
Speaker 21: that we all know what we're supposed to do and

1044
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:11,439
Speaker 21: know what we're doing, and it allows us to play fast,

1045
00:48:11,480 --> 00:48:13,120
Speaker 21: And I think that's a that's something that you know,

1046
00:48:13,200 --> 00:48:15,960
Speaker 21: really allows us to go out there and make plays.

1047
00:48:16,719 --> 00:48:18,040
Speaker 6: What you bring to the table.

1048
00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:19,400
Speaker 3: What are you guys thinking about?

1049
00:48:20,840 --> 00:48:24,959
Speaker 21: Yeah, obviously you know he was the number one picking

1050
00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:26,960
Speaker 21: the drafts, you so you have respect for him in

1051
00:48:27,280 --> 00:48:31,080
Speaker 21: that manner, and you know he's somebody who can create plays.

1052
00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:32,520
Speaker 6: Within the pocket or out of the pocket.

1053
00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:35,440
Speaker 21: So just making sure you you stay on your assignment

1054
00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:37,200
Speaker 21: and and and have the right eyes and things like

1055
00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:38,400
Speaker 21: that as the play progresses.

1056
00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:40,879
Speaker 9: Do you remember playing against him at all when things

1057
00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:42,720
Speaker 9: at Washington State and US play.

1058
00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:45,080
Speaker 2: Uh, I remember watching it.

1059
00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:46,680
Speaker 21: They I didn't get in the game at all.

1060
00:48:46,719 --> 00:48:50,120
Speaker 9: But but like during the I mean, what was sort

1061
00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:52,040
Speaker 9: of the you know, the scout in the board during

1062
00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:52,920
Speaker 9: the week, you know.

1063
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:55,840
Speaker 21: That's I mean, that's a good question. I was usually

1064
00:48:55,840 --> 00:48:59,560
Speaker 21: in the scout defense meetings over there, you know, learn

1065
00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:02,719
Speaker 21: how to play their defense for our offense. But I

1066
00:49:02,719 --> 00:49:04,400
Speaker 21: mean I think it's a lot of the same, just

1067
00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:08,919
Speaker 21: just being able to you know, uh, be assignment sound

1068
00:49:08,960 --> 00:49:11,880
Speaker 21: when when he starts to create Carson, You've.

1069
00:49:11,719 --> 00:49:14,080
Speaker 6: Started talked about this as miles before, but how.

1070
00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:15,640
Speaker 12: Bizarre is it that you can look at this week

1071
00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:17,440
Speaker 12: and say, hey, you know, he could he could just

1072
00:49:17,440 --> 00:49:19,399
Speaker 12: get three and a half sacks and feels normal.

1073
00:49:19,480 --> 00:49:22,600
Speaker 21: Yeah, it's bizarre, But I mean it's also just just normal.

1074
00:49:22,640 --> 00:49:24,439
Speaker 21: I think it's something we've just come accustomed to, which

1075
00:49:24,480 --> 00:49:27,000
Speaker 21: is which is crazy. I mean, it's a generational talent

1076
00:49:27,040 --> 00:49:29,000
Speaker 21: that that we're able to watch and being able to

1077
00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:32,200
Speaker 21: take the field that it's pretty special coverage.

1107
00:50:51,800 --> 00:50:54,600

Speaker 23: growing up with in New Orleans, it wasn't a lot

1112
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:12,600
Speaker 23: of uh I feel like community events and stuff like

1113
00:51:12,600 --> 00:51:15,640
Speaker 23: that I went to. But then with Katrina, everybody helped

1114
00:51:15,640 --> 00:51:18,239

1117
00:51:24,800 --> 00:51:27,160
Speaker 23: signings and stuff like that. So it was always cool

1118
00:51:27,239 --> 00:51:28,560
Speaker 23: kind of in the back of my mind to be

1119
00:51:28,600 --> 00:51:30,239
Speaker 23: able to do that when I got to that to

1120

00:54:33,520 --> 00:54:35,800
Speaker 22: to make sure well rounded and with your education and stuff,

1192
00:54:35,800 --> 00:54:38,279

00:54:38,640 --> 00:54:38,839
Speaker 11: Yeah?

1194
00:54:38,880 --> 00:54:41,120
Speaker 23: No, I I embrace having a very supportive mom. I

1195
00:54:41,120 --> 00:54:43,960
Speaker 23: think that I don't take that for granted, you know,

1196
00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:46,600
Speaker 23: cause I know everybody don't have that situation. But she's great,

1197
00:54:47,120 --> 00:54:50,320
Speaker 23: she's uh, she's very involved in my off the field stuff.

1198
00:54:50,760 --> 00:54:54,840
Speaker 23: So you know, I think that having a strong support

1199
00:54:54,920 --> 00:54:57,759
Speaker 23: system it is it starts at at the top with

1200
00:54:57,840 --> 00:55:00,560
Speaker 23: your with your with your mom's, your parents, my dad too,

1201
00:55:01,120 --> 00:55:05,160
Speaker 23: and and everybody who really you know, just wants to

1202
00:55:05,160 --> 00:55:08,399
Speaker 23: see the good and others man and and it's good

1203
00:55:08,400 --> 00:55:10,520
Speaker 23: that they instill that and their kids. And I'll do

1204
00:55:10,560 --> 00:55:12,560
Speaker 23: the same with my kids, wanna have when I have kids.

1205
00:55:12,560 --> 00:55:15,080
Speaker 23: So she s definitely set the right example.

1206
00:55:15,440 --> 00:55:19,920

1211
00:55:31,080 --> 00:55:34,520
Speaker 23: of my head, it's a it's an extreme honor just

00:56:26,880 --> 00:56:31,440
Speaker 23: So I think we got that cleaned up. But no,

1231
00:56:31,520 --> 00:56:33,840
Speaker 23: we just can't happen anymore. It's just it. It's putting

1232
00:56:33,840 --> 00:56:36,960
Speaker 23: our defense in a bad spot too many times, and

1233
00:56:37,320 --> 00:56:38,080
Speaker 23: we can't win with that.

1234
00:56:38,280 --> 00:56:40,879
Speaker 10: So we got you played full with being uh all

1235
00:56:40,920 --> 00:56:42,920
Speaker 10: the time safety. But in the in the role of

1236
00:56:43,040 --> 00:56:46,800
Speaker 10: the punch ms, do you study the opponents pot returner?

1242
00:56:58,840 --> 00:57:02,200
Speaker 23: he's been pretty ball secure all season, so we know

1243
00:57:02,239 --> 00:57:04,000
Speaker 23: he likes to test our edges. He'll get up feel

1244
00:57:04,040 --> 00:57:06,240
Speaker 23: he's a pretty good returner, uh all around.

1245
00:57:06,280 --> 00:57:08,640
Speaker 6: So what do you see when you uh.

1253
00:57:23,120 --> 00:57:28,160
Speaker 23: lot of sacks, so you know, some poor decisions in there.

Speaker 22: I mean obviously this season, when's the Lawson's hasn't gone

1279
00:58:22,720 --> 00:58:24,640
Speaker 22: the way you guys wanted. But you know the fact

1280
00:58:24,680 --> 00:58:26,800
Speaker 22: that the defense is playing so well that Miles is

1281
00:58:26,880 --> 00:58:29,520
Speaker 22: chasing this, that he's defensive player in the month, that

1282
00:58:29,640 --> 00:58:32,880
Speaker 22: person is for the month pay, does that still give you,

1283
00:58:32,960 --> 00:58:34,720
Speaker 22: guys so fry as a defense?

1284
00:58:34,920 --> 00:58:35,120

Speaker 6: Yeah?

1287
00:58:38,640 --> 00:58:42,400
Speaker 23: I think you know when you here this game, it's

1288
00:58:42,440 --> 00:58:43,880
Speaker 23: not gonna be a lot of people watching this game.

1289
00:58:43,880 --> 00:58:45,720
Speaker 23: It's keep it, you know, keep it honest. It's it's

1290
00:58:45,800 --> 00:58:46,439
Speaker 23: it's two teams.

1291
00:58:46,480 --> 00:58:47,520
Speaker 6: That's that. You know.

1292
00:58:47,640 --> 00:58:50,400
Speaker 23: We had like four combined wins overall. But we gonna

1293
00:58:50,400 --> 00:58:53,280

Speaker 6: We gonna see who loves football.

1295
00:58:55,320 --> 00:58:58,280
Speaker 23: I think that from a defensive standpoint, we gonna you know,

1296
00:58:58,440 --> 00:59:01,680
Speaker 23: set that set that off as we do. We're looking

1297
00:59:01,760 --> 00:59:05,480
Speaker 23: to dominate every snap and we got guys that's been

1298
00:59:05,520 --> 00:59:07,800
Speaker 23: doing that all year. Carson Man, what can I say

1299
00:59:07,800 --> 00:59:12,800
Speaker 23: about him? Like playing at an incredible level, Like you know,

1300
00:59:14,040 --> 00:59:16,640
Speaker 23: y'all gonna talk to him next, but I'll probably say

1301
00:59:16,640 --> 00:59:18,400
Speaker 23: too many good things about him. So I'm gonna go

1302

1303
00:59:21,720 --> 00:59:25,120
Speaker 23: level with Denzel Us set in the tempo, I think

1305
00:59:25,960 --> 00:59:27,480
