1 00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:06,640 Speaker 1: Okay, it's another uh you know, another big weak force 2 00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:10,520 Speaker 1: in the division. So it's always always tough with the Jets. 3 00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:14,040 Speaker 1: UM we know that. So uh you know, first of all, 4 00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:18,239 Speaker 1: just with Adam UM, you know, I think he does 5 00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:21,239 Speaker 1: a terrific job. Certainly we've had a ton of problems 6 00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:24,480 Speaker 1: playing against him in the past. He's very good. UM 7 00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:27,800 Speaker 1: were the football coach does an excellent job with the team, 8 00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:33,400 Speaker 1: certainly offensively of creating problems for all defenses, especially ours. 9 00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:36,639 Speaker 1: So you know that'd be a big challenge for us, 10 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:40,640 Speaker 1: just you know, handling the UM you know, the strategic 11 00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:44,200 Speaker 1: aspect of the game matchups that that he creates. UM. 12 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,080 Speaker 1: Same thing on a defense, Uh, you know, coach Williams 13 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,560 Speaker 1: does a great job. They're very aggressive on defense. It 14 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:51,519 Speaker 1: caused a lot of negative plays. You know, I had 15 00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:55,120 Speaker 1: the four turnovers against Buffalo. Um. They do a good 16 00:00:55,200 --> 00:01:00,480 Speaker 1: job of um mixing it up and making the offense 17 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 1: I'd say uncomfortable dealing with the different schemes that they utilize. UM, 18 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,440 Speaker 1: they keep it simple, but they they're very aggressive and 19 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,760 Speaker 1: they create a lot of problems with a you know, fairly, 20 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:15,680 Speaker 1: I wouldn't say it's a real complex system, but it 21 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:17,959 Speaker 1: causes a lot of problems. It has a good amount 22 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:21,679 Speaker 1: of balance and um a complimentary plays along with the 23 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:26,479 Speaker 1: Skies and and um, so it fits together well. It's 24 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 1: obviously a problem to deal with and um, you know 25 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 1: coach boy are on special teams. It's an excellent group there. 26 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,920 Speaker 1: They have a lot of a lot of team speed. Um. 27 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,560 Speaker 1: You know, certainly I'm sure feel better about the kicking 28 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 1: situation after last week. Um, but you know that's that's 29 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 1: always a dangerous part of you know, playing against the Jets, 30 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,560 Speaker 1: and so all the way across the board. You know, 31 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:50,520 Speaker 1: we got a lot of a lot of work to do. 32 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 1: It's say mentally, this is you know, not the easiest 33 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 1: game because the amount of things that they do and 34 00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 1: how well they do them. So that'll be a challenge 35 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 1: for Wars here as well as just what normally comes 36 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:08,240 Speaker 1: with the preparation for the game. It's very physical team. 37 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 1: You know, Bell Crowder two big additions offensively. You know, 38 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 1: Bell's clearly one of the top backs in the league. 39 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:20,399 Speaker 1: Outstanding with the ball in his hands, great receiver, just 40 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 1: a really hard matchup player and does an excellent job 41 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 1: of breaking tackles. He's a hard guy to get on 42 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:30,919 Speaker 1: the ground, whether he spins, jumps over guys, makes him 43 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:32,960 Speaker 1: missing the open field, puts his shoulder now and runs 44 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 1: through him and Crowder, you know, provides a lot of 45 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 1: versatility for their offense without having a substitute, so they 46 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 1: can use him in a lot of different ways in 47 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:48,640 Speaker 1: their jet motion package. His option routes putting him in 48 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 1: various positions that make it difficult for the defense to 49 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,520 Speaker 1: recognize the defend. Of course, you have you know Anderson, 50 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 1: who's in one of the top deep threats in the league. 51 00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 1: Just guys got tremendous speed and deep field playmates ability, 52 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 1: so they were able to really attack the defense at 53 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:08,400 Speaker 1: all three levels on a consistent basis. And so defensive 54 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 1: front is good. Williams, Williams, Jenkins, Mosley, they got a 55 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 1: lot of good players, Adams and start right down the line. Um, 56 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 1: they have good players at every level of the defense. 57 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:25,959 Speaker 1: They're explosive, their contact, big hitters, cause cause negative plays 58 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:30,520 Speaker 1: with their aggressiveness and contact plays. So ball security and 59 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 1: making good decisions of the ball are going to be 60 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 1: be critical for us on Sunday. So as we started 61 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 1: the coach gaming, just please your man if one ask 62 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 1: a questionable calling coach. What does the coach Karnaki need 63 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 1: to this team, especially this season with a lot of movement, 64 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 1: need offensive time. Yeah, Dante does does an excellent job 65 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 1: of developing younger players and um, getting older players and 66 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 1: the playing group to play cohesively and with good communication 67 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 1: and trust an accountability for each other. He's an excellent 68 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 1: game plan coach and excellent in game coach in terms 69 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 1: of making adjustments and you know, recognizing what the problems 70 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 1: are and fixing him. Very fortunate to have had the 71 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 1: opportunity to coach with him for going all they back 72 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 1: to ninety six for so many years. I love read 73 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 1: which how he always thought about vs. Running. So I'm 74 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 1: trying to read blockers. How quick is that first step 75 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 1: building to see good? Yeah, he's a very explosive player. 76 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 1: Um yeah, if it's there, he'll hit it. If it's not. 77 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,480 Speaker 1: He does an excellent job of setting the blockers up 78 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 1: and um, making the defenders commit and then finding space 79 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 1: and going. He doesn't you know, see him running in 80 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 1: the back of his blockers and running into pile and 81 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,159 Speaker 1: things like that. He makes guys commit and then he 82 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 1: finds space and is able to get to it. He's 83 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 1: an excellent player, right, what kind of challenges to let 84 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,040 Speaker 1: it is, especially that they send it a quarterback. Yeah, 85 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 1: they do a good job of UM. They run a 86 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 1: pretty good amount of blitz man and they add in quickly. 87 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:14,599 Speaker 1: So if um um, if the player blocks that the 88 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 1: defenders covering, then he just adds in on the blitz 89 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 1: so four five becomes six six and comes seven in 90 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 1: a hurry. And they also have an overload blitz package 91 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 1: which is compliments their their single blitzers UM. But again, 92 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 1: the single blitzers often end up as it looks like 93 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 1: more than one blitzer because they get there so quickly 94 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,720 Speaker 1: on the add in. So it's a good they have 95 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 1: a good complimentary package and it'll be very challenging to 96 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:42,239 Speaker 1: non only other pass protection and run blocking UM schemes 97 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,159 Speaker 1: to get a hat on hat, but also for the 98 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 1: receivers to get open quickly and to make adjustments based 99 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,719 Speaker 1: on the leverage that they play those UM coverages with. 100 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,919 Speaker 1: From the limited film The Batter with the Jets, do 101 00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 1: you see any differences between Bell this season and when 102 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 1: you last saw between seventeen. He looks pretty good, it's fresh, 103 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:09,039 Speaker 1: it looks good, catches the ball well, it's you know, 104 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,280 Speaker 1: very good in the open field. He's a strong in 105 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 1: line runner, so they're gonna brun c Jane Moseley. I 106 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 1: was with Baltimore last year. He didn't play Monday night. 107 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,840 Speaker 1: But have you noticed that he's doing anything different and 108 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,799 Speaker 1: what you saw against against Buffalo and just how dangerous 109 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 1: he can be. Very instinctive players around the ball, a 110 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 1: lot ten career interceptions, you know, returns for touchdowns. He's 111 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:37,839 Speaker 1: just makes a lot of tackles um and he's just 112 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:41,839 Speaker 1: around the ball. So like the interception against Buffalo, ball 113 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,920 Speaker 1: is Bobble picked it off. The same thing. He caused 114 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 1: a lot of fumbles. He recovers a lot of fumbles. 115 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:50,559 Speaker 1: He's just kind of always there, reads things very quickly. 116 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 1: Smart player and man's hard. Gotta get on misdirection and 117 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 1: things like that, play action and all. He he diagnoses 118 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,480 Speaker 1: those very quickly. So it's a good tackle. He runs well, 119 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 1: has good range um u. That's good playing strength. He's 120 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 1: he's one of the best players in the league. What 121 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 1: have you seen from Mata cost What have you kind 122 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 1: of learned about him? Seen him watching games? But I'm 123 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 1: getting the practice field beating rooms. Yeah, that's very tent 124 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 1: of smart kid, picks things up well, worked really hard. Um. 125 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 1: You know, he's just been limited here since the Detroit 126 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 1: chart game. So UM, but he's you know, he's tough, 127 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 1: he's working through it. So UM. Hopefully it just keeps 128 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 1: getting better day to day as far as progress with 129 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 1: his um comfort level on the offense. What did you 130 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 1: see um last weekend? Yeah, I mean it's you know, 131 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 1: it's just been slow because he hasn't you know, had 132 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 1: the opportunities to be on the field as much as 133 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 1: he would like or we would like, or to already 134 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 1: get that timing and those repetitions. But you know, he 135 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 1: takes advantage and does everything he can do UM in 136 00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 1: the meeting room and walk throughs and films, study and 137 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 1: the reps he has on the practice field. But still up, 138 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 1: we got a long way to go. He really hasn't 139 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 1: played a lot of football with his teammates through no 140 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:13,680 Speaker 1: fault of his. It's just that's what it is. It 141 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 1: hasn't really played a lot of you know football and 142 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 1: this year. What's the approach when of your opponents in 143 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 1: an emergency quarterback situation like the gents are now, do 144 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,840 Speaker 1: you have to prepare for the team sort of relying 145 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 1: more in the rue game in defense to take the 146 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:34,439 Speaker 1: ball out of the quarterbacks hands as often as possible. Well, 147 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 1: I think, you know, nobody knows the quarterback situation better 148 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 1: than coach Gas does, and he feels like that Falk 149 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:43,840 Speaker 1: has more experience in the system, which he does than 150 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,679 Speaker 1: any other player that they have se was with him 151 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:48,200 Speaker 1: last year. He went through all the game plans, went 152 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:49,719 Speaker 1: through all the adjustments at a whole year of it 153 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 1: in Miami. Um, you know Darnold didn't do that. Simon 154 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:56,319 Speaker 1: didn't do that. So I think the coach Gas has 155 00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 1: expressed the confidence that he has in his quarterback and 156 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 1: I believe him. I don't think he would have brought 157 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 1: him there and he would have put him in there 158 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,560 Speaker 1: if he didn't have that. So I don't expect the 159 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:10,840 Speaker 1: offensive change. Okay, oh, he has been on the practice 160 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,280 Speaker 1: still yet. But do you see Kilo van Knock being 161 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 1: more interior player And we'll see. It's a good question. 162 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 1: He's played both, so we'll we'll see. Not sure. It's 163 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 1: been about a month since Josh Gordon has been back 164 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 1: with the team. How would you describe what you've seen 165 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,840 Speaker 1: from him? In turns to how he's reintegrated himself with 166 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,480 Speaker 1: the team, and does it seem like a continuation and 167 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:43,480 Speaker 1: where he was last year? Yeah, I don't know, it's 168 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:47,199 Speaker 1: last year. Where last year and ended. He can't release 169 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 1: three start there, you have to start all over again. 170 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 1: So you know, Josh has worked hard, he's made progress. 171 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:53,120 Speaker 1: I think he still has a long way to go. 172 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 1: We have fourteen regular season games left, so we'll see 173 00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 1: how it goes. Romats from Jamal Adams. That's me was 174 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:08,920 Speaker 1: such a fingers players around this group. Yeah, he's very aggressive, 175 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:13,480 Speaker 1: physical player, contact player. Um, very aggressive in the running game. 176 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 1: It's fast, it's a tough player. You know, he's around 177 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 1: the ball a lot too. Similar Mosley, different position, but um, 178 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:23,440 Speaker 1: you know we gets involved in a lot of plays 179 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:26,560 Speaker 1: places with a great effort, hustles a lot of times. 180 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:33,440 Speaker 1: You know, it's a great motor frees more about xs 181 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 1: and always tap thing. But using the touchdown to Antonio 182 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,920 Speaker 1: Brown last week gets sort of a springboard. When you 183 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 1: have four receivers in one running back on the field, 184 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 1: how does that put stress on at an opposing defense? Yeah, 185 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:49,559 Speaker 1: well it depends on how many defensive backs you have 186 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:53,680 Speaker 1: on the field. Um, yeah, we're running the same thing 187 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:57,200 Speaker 1: with Um. You know last week with Drake, this week 188 00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,439 Speaker 1: with Bell, it's the same thing like this, Really, five 189 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,840 Speaker 1: receivers out there when when you have a back like 190 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,080 Speaker 1: Drake Bell or Montgomery for that matter, who played receiver 191 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 1: UM earlier in his career at Green Bay. So, you know, 192 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 1: if you have four defensive backs, you're kind of a 193 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 1: guy short. If you have five defensive backs, you can 194 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 1: match up to them, but then you have no deep 195 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 1: help and you know, kind of blit zero coverage. UM, 196 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 1: you have six defensive backs, you kind of you know, 197 00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:25,920 Speaker 1: play whatever you want zone zone. So if you want 198 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 1: to play man to man, you just got to decide, 199 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 1: you know, how how you want those matchups to go, UM, 200 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:37,440 Speaker 1: how long you think you can hold up in them 201 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 1: or play zone? And you know, if you feel like 202 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:43,520 Speaker 1: you can't match up, then there's his zone option. So 203 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 1: depend on you know, there's a lot of there's some 204 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 1: different options there. It's definitely a problem. It's definitely probably 205 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 1: you have five receivers on the field. UM. You generally 206 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 1: don't want to put six defensive backs out there until 207 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 1: it's third down unless they're true receivers. Like when Pittsburgh 208 00:11:56,600 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 1: was using five true wideouts. Um Switzer kind of played 209 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 1: a little bit of running back for him, but it's 210 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 1: not like having leaving On Bell back there or Drake 211 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,840 Speaker 1: back there or somebody like that. So it definitely puts 212 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:13,400 Speaker 1: pressure on the defense obviously every day in practice. So 213 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 1: it's you know, we see James White and Rex Burke 214 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 1: had out there, it's the same thing. It's five receivers 215 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 1: out there. Those are you know, hard matchups for UM 216 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,800 Speaker 1: players who aren't good experience coverage players playing at all 217 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:27,960 Speaker 1: the positions, because those guys could align up anywhere at 218 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,320 Speaker 1: the same thing with bell Um again or Drake or 219 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,839 Speaker 1: Montgomery other guys like that. They could be outside in 220 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 1: a corner type alignment, or they could be somewhere inside 221 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 1: Um and more of a linebacker or a safety type 222 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:46,600 Speaker 1: coverage area traditionally. So it's it's definitely a problem, UM. 223 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,200 Speaker 1: But again, we've seen that every day in practice. So 224 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,719 Speaker 1: that's one of the good things about our offenses. We've 225 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 1: been able to um no no backs or any more 226 00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 1: problem than these two guys are for us to cover. 227 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:01,439 Speaker 1: So UM, you know, we've we've seen plenty of it. 228 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,680 Speaker 1: It's still is a problem, but UM, you know, It's 229 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:06,240 Speaker 1: not like we don't see it every day in practice 230 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 1: improvement in goment. Have you seen him? Rex vercame just 231 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:16,679 Speaker 1: heading into this office universe two weeks. Yeah. I mean 232 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 1: Rex has been a good player for us. So, um, 233 00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:22,320 Speaker 1: you know, everybody improves and can work on little things 234 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 1: every year, but I'd say overall, he's been a pretty 235 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:28,520 Speaker 1: solid player for us. He plays on all four downs. Um, 236 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,079 Speaker 1: you know, he can run the ball, he can handle 237 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:34,560 Speaker 1: all our regular downplays. He's a good third down back. Um, 238 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:37,520 Speaker 1: James White's a great third down back, and Rex and 239 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,680 Speaker 1: play and all you know, all four the all the 240 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 1: big four in a kicking game, kick off, kickover return, 241 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:45,040 Speaker 1: pun punt return. So um, he's you know, one of 242 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 1: the most versatile players on our team. Um. I'll probably 243 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:50,560 Speaker 1: put him in that category with Chunk. You know, they 244 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 1: can just do stuff on every down. Uh. You know, 245 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:58,240 Speaker 1: Devin probably going a category too. Um, maybe Kyle, but 246 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,199 Speaker 1: you know there's a handful of guys like that can 247 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 1: just you know, play on every down. But those guys 248 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:05,160 Speaker 1: are rare, um, and the play it at a high level, 249 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:09,280 Speaker 1: like you know, Kyle Devon, Pat Rex do is. I 250 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:12,320 Speaker 1: mean that's you know, as a coach, it's the tremendous 251 00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:15,680 Speaker 1: luxury and to have on your team have players that 252 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:19,840 Speaker 1: are that versatile um and that you know, versatile in 253 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,040 Speaker 1: terms of the variety of things they can do, and 254 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 1: then that versatile in terms of you know, being able 255 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 1: to do it at a at a high level in 256 00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:29,480 Speaker 1: all those situations. It's just you know, you're lucky to 257 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:31,360 Speaker 1: have you know, one one of those guys on your team, 258 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:32,720 Speaker 1: maybe two of those guys in your team. You know, 259 00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 1: we have more than that, and so that's that's that's 260 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 1: something that's really um like great help as a coach 261 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 1: in terms of game planning and also managing the entire roster. 262 00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 1: That they just give you so much depth. Even if 263 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,240 Speaker 1: we never use it, it's still great because you just 264 00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:54,440 Speaker 1: you know that, okay, with that position is secure. It 265 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 1: might not come up, but even if it doesn't come up, 266 00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,240 Speaker 1: you don't have to waste a lot of time trying 267 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,080 Speaker 1: to get somebody else ready because you know that you 268 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:02,680 Speaker 1: have somebody that you can put in there that can 269 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 1: can handle that. Bill Curious as you're evaluating your running game, 270 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 1: how much weight you put on situational runs like the 271 00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:19,920 Speaker 1: goal line runs or short yardage situations versus the overall picture, 272 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:21,800 Speaker 1: because i think right now through two games, you guys 273 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 1: are averaging about three and a half yards to carry, 274 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:25,920 Speaker 1: but it looks like in some of those short yardage 275 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 1: situations you've been pretty good. So I'm just curious how 276 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 1: you've how you kind of assess that and how you 277 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 1: weigh those situational plays versus the rest of it. Yeah, well, 278 00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:39,080 Speaker 1: the situational plays, as you've identified, are very different from 279 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,960 Speaker 1: the other one. So it's really being able to get 280 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:43,840 Speaker 1: a yard or two when it's third or fourth and 281 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,400 Speaker 1: one is more important to be able to get five 282 00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:49,120 Speaker 1: yards on first down, although five yards on first down 283 00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 1: is a good thing too, don't get me wrong. So 284 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:53,400 Speaker 1: but you know, it's all important. Again, we look at 285 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:57,360 Speaker 1: the overall production of our team in every year offense, defense, 286 00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:00,960 Speaker 1: special teams, or on game pass game, and the things 287 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 1: that we're doing well we want to continue to do 288 00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:04,480 Speaker 1: as well. The things that we're not doing well we 289 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:08,200 Speaker 1: need to doing better, either change them or or do 290 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,000 Speaker 1: what we're doing better, or you know, throw them out 291 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:15,520 Speaker 1: and find something else. So that's an ongoing process from 292 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,160 Speaker 1: early in training camp, but it really starts more at 293 00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:21,360 Speaker 1: this time of year. When you know, when teams are 294 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 1: playing either way they want to play it. They're not 295 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:27,240 Speaker 1: just out there, you know, running plays like theyre preseason games. 296 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:29,520 Speaker 1: They're you know, they're not matching up now, they're matching 297 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 1: up now you're seeing you know, they're trying to attack 298 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,120 Speaker 1: your weaknesses. You're trying to rely on your strengths or 299 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:38,880 Speaker 1: your strengths or strengths you know how weaker weaknesses, how 300 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:42,680 Speaker 1: you know how stronger their strengths. So that's something that 301 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:46,280 Speaker 1: we've got to constantly out evaluate. Look, sometimes you're run 302 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,800 Speaker 1: into a you know, a team that's very good at 303 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,680 Speaker 1: something and so you're not going to have as much 304 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 1: much production in that area, or they stop one thing, 305 00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:58,400 Speaker 1: but you find production somewhere else. So you know that's 306 00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 1: part of it too. So we'll, you know, we just 307 00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:02,440 Speaker 1: try to take all those things in consideration to do 308 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:05,080 Speaker 1: the best we can. I mean, it's it's a great question, 309 00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:08,000 Speaker 1: and it's it's a I would say, the answer is 310 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:11,119 Speaker 1: not always straightforward. What we have to that's what we 311 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,119 Speaker 1: get paid for is to find the right answer. So well, 312 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:16,280 Speaker 1: would just keep working on it. True final Christian has 313 00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:18,040 Speaker 1: been bold. I just want to ask a fall out 314 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:21,560 Speaker 1: to Mark's question about the versatile players, guys like Chung 315 00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:26,240 Speaker 1: and mccordy Birkhead. Are you able to identify guys like 316 00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:27,719 Speaker 1: that when they're coming out of college, that they can 317 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:29,280 Speaker 1: be guys who can be versatile and do a bunch 318 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:34,080 Speaker 1: of doors that they get developed especially, Yeah, potentially. And look, 319 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:35,720 Speaker 1: and I'm not saying we're right on everybody. You know, 320 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 1: sometimes you look at guys and you think, yeah, this guy, 321 00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:41,080 Speaker 1: can you know, do these things. Maybe he's done in college. 322 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 1: Maybe he hasn't. It's a lot easier if he had, 323 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:45,840 Speaker 1: if you've seen him do those although that's not a 324 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:47,760 Speaker 1: lock that it's going to happen at this level, but 325 00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:49,280 Speaker 1: you know, at least you've seen him do that, and 326 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:52,280 Speaker 1: so okay, that's good. Some guys you maybe haven't seen 327 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:56,000 Speaker 1: him do it, and then you don't find out until later, 328 00:17:56,400 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 1: like Edelman that he can return punts, he can cover kicks. 329 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,400 Speaker 1: You know, he can't play receiver. I mean, we didn't 330 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:05,160 Speaker 1: know any of that about him. So you know, sometimes 331 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:08,879 Speaker 1: as you think, well, maybe, um, I mean that's why 332 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:10,479 Speaker 1: I wasn't drafted in a second round. I mean, there 333 00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:12,440 Speaker 1: was a lot of questions about him coming out, So 334 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,119 Speaker 1: you know he's answered them all, um, but there was 335 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:19,880 Speaker 1: a process for that to occur. Devin, Cheung Kyle, those 336 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 1: guys were you know, highly regarded coming out of out 337 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:26,280 Speaker 1: of college. They've got good careers, um, and they've done 338 00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:28,000 Speaker 1: a lot of things. Really from the time they came 339 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:31,000 Speaker 1: into the career of their career, it was like Devin 340 00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:33,520 Speaker 1: returning kickoffs and you know, playing a cover like he 341 00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:36,959 Speaker 1: could play on everything, but it's it's hard for us 342 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,080 Speaker 1: to you know, play your start in safety on every play. 343 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:41,440 Speaker 1: But he's had to do it at times and he's 344 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,639 Speaker 1: done it. And the same thing with Cheng Kyle. You know, 345 00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:47,199 Speaker 1: Rex could play every play. But right now we have 346 00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:50,080 Speaker 1: good depth at that position whereby utilize multiple players. So, 347 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,760 Speaker 1: as I said, when you're you know, when you're coaching 348 00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:58,000 Speaker 1: special teams and you got you know, sixty six players 349 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,960 Speaker 1: that have to be back by another sixty six players, Okay, 350 00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 1: and you only have forty three on the roster, forty 351 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 1: five on the roster, forty six on the roster. But 352 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:08,679 Speaker 1: you really don't have that because you have your specialists. 353 00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 1: You have some offensive lineman, you know, the quarterback. I 354 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,320 Speaker 1: mean you when you get rid of those guys, you know, 355 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,639 Speaker 1: you get your roster down about thirty in a hurry, 356 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,120 Speaker 1: So now you're trying to back up sixty six players 357 00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:21,800 Speaker 1: with another sixty six players. Forget about offensive defense. That's 358 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,960 Speaker 1: a whole other conversation. I mean, if you have a 359 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,160 Speaker 1: guy like Burkehead that okay, well he can play these 360 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:29,720 Speaker 1: three spots on the kickoff team, Choling mccardia and played 361 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:31,560 Speaker 1: these three spots on the Okay, you can back up 362 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,719 Speaker 1: the whole kickoff team with two or three guys. You know, 363 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:36,760 Speaker 1: that's a good thing. You might not have to use them, 364 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:40,600 Speaker 1: but again, you don't have to get ten other guys 365 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:42,199 Speaker 1: ready for all that when you can do it with 366 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,119 Speaker 1: two or three guys or same thing on punt return, 367 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:48,199 Speaker 1: punt team, things like that. So there's a there's a 368 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:51,040 Speaker 1: hidden effect there and like yeah, nobody knows, nobody even cares, 369 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:53,480 Speaker 1: you know, until you get an injury, then you get 370 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:55,720 Speaker 1: a punt blocked. I mean, and it's you know, it's 371 00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:59,440 Speaker 1: a world crisis. So it can go in a hurry. 372 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,879 Speaker 1: And but those kind of players give you a tremendous 373 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,720 Speaker 1: value versatility. You know, a guy's like a high tower 374 00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:08,800 Speaker 1: and collins and you know, look at the end of 375 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:10,879 Speaker 1: the year. You know, they might not have a lot 376 00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,280 Speaker 1: have a lot of plays on special teams, but to 377 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:16,520 Speaker 1: have them and know that they're ready to go if 378 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:19,280 Speaker 1: we need them, and they don't need to take half 379 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,080 Speaker 1: the reps in practice to be ready to go, you know, 380 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,320 Speaker 1: gives you the tremendous value as a team, and it 381 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:28,680 Speaker 1: allows you to use the players who are going to play, 382 00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:30,960 Speaker 1: to give them more reps, to go through more things 383 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,639 Speaker 1: with them and help better prepare them without having to, 384 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,480 Speaker 1: you know, spend time with those backups. So it's um 385 00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,199 Speaker 1: I would just say, you know, until you've been through that, 386 00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:43,280 Speaker 1: which I mean as a special teams coach, I was 387 00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 1: went through that for many years. You know, I don't 388 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:48,520 Speaker 1: know if you really appreciate how valuable those guys are. 389 00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:53,919 Speaker 1: I certainly do. Person with Antonio Brown now that you 390 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:55,639 Speaker 1: hadn't we want to see, you know, how are your 391 00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:58,840 Speaker 1: fits in your offense? Is there any level of you 392 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,720 Speaker 1: starting a guy that talented you're starting to think about 393 00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:05,600 Speaker 1: signing plays or elements to your offense that can help 394 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 1: you use him as a matchup, right, Yeah, sure, there's 395 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:12,520 Speaker 1: things you can we can utilize him for, or Josh 396 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,200 Speaker 1: or you know, anybody else. That just just a question 397 00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 1: of volume and again time and reps. So you can't 398 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 1: put in twenty new plays and you know when you 399 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:23,920 Speaker 1: have I don't call it ninety plays in practice over 400 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:25,200 Speaker 1: the course of a week. I mean, you can't put 401 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:28,040 Speaker 1: in twenty plays and expect to you know, be able 402 00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:29,480 Speaker 1: to rep those and get them right and then do 403 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:30,840 Speaker 1: all the other things you have to do. So you 404 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:33,040 Speaker 1: have to be selective. You know what if you want 405 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,159 Speaker 1: to put in something new, then you know how much 406 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:36,879 Speaker 1: time can you allocate to it, how much are you 407 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,679 Speaker 1: going to use it? How effective is it going to be? 408 00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:41,520 Speaker 1: Like you really want to put in a play it's 409 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:45,320 Speaker 1: gonna gain five yards and you know, waste ten percent 410 00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 1: of your practice reps during a week on that, you know, 411 00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:50,240 Speaker 1: I don't know, I'd rather work on a plate it's 412 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,480 Speaker 1: going to gain you know, fifty yards or you know. 413 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:54,080 Speaker 1: So you just have to decide how you want to 414 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:57,160 Speaker 1: do it. So can you expand it? Sure, it's not infinite. 415 00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:58,720 Speaker 1: We're not in training camp. We've got to get ready 416 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:02,679 Speaker 1: for a game. So there are other considerations um with 417 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:04,439 Speaker 1: other parts of the team and other players on the 418 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 1: team that you just have to try to balance all 419 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,199 Speaker 1: that up. But you know, I'm sure each week we 420 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:12,440 Speaker 1: can you add a little more with new players, whether 421 00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:17,400 Speaker 1: it be you know, new House or Corey or Antonio 422 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:21,760 Speaker 1: or Josh or Malacosse. I mean there's another guy who 423 00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 1: hasn't played very much football. Of those guys, as they 424 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 1: get more back into the um in this case offensive 425 00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:31,720 Speaker 1: flow than Yeah, but I mean it's not it's not limitless. 426 00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:36,240 Speaker 1: We just don't have that many opportunities. Okay, all right, 427 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:36,679 Speaker 1: thank you,
