1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:04,520
Speaker 1: Hey, coach, I'm Christians producer here at w E. And

2
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:08,440
Speaker 1: Christian's been really impressed with Nikkiel Harry, especially as a blocker.

3
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 1: He's actually started a movement called the hashtag free Nikkil

4
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:15,960
Speaker 1: Harry movement. Has Nikkil done enough in the blocking game

5
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 1: to earn more of an opportunity in the pass game?

6
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:23,479
Speaker 1: And it Kill has done a good job. You know,

7
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:26,319
Speaker 1: he continues to work hard. And we tell all our

8
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 1: receivers the same thing. If they're not going to block,

9
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 1: then it's it be hard for hims down the field

10
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:33,959
Speaker 1: in general and get opportunities in the passing game. So

11
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:40,559
Speaker 1: I think all our guys give great effort. Jacoby Kendrick, Nellie, Gunner, Nikkiel,

12
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 1: they all will go in there and and block and

13
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 1: help the runners run. And you know, we do a

14
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 1: we ask a lot of our receivers in general in

15
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 1: that regard, and I think they've they've all shown that

16
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 1: they're tough enough and willing to help the team in

17
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 1: any way they can. And certainly Nikkiel's role has continued

18
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: to develop and grow, and um, you know he's out

19
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:07,320
Speaker 1: there and he'll have opportunities because of it. And next question,

20
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 1: Chris Ryan Hey, Josh, are you good, Chris? How are

21
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: you doing awesome? UM? I wanted to ask you about

22
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: the process of making Mac more comfortable. It seems like

23
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,759
Speaker 1: this week he was very comfortable the pocket. He had

24
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: good confidence in putting balls in tight places and touch passes.

25
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: And Bill had mentioned the other day about not trying

26
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,839
Speaker 1: to overwhelm a young quarterback as well and making sure

27
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: that you know, there's there's a process to learning, so

28
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: that that process has been been like, UM, you know,

29
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,839
Speaker 1: it's it's kind of like dripping water on a rock

30
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: and waiting for something to grow. You know, you just

31
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: just keep doing it, you know. And UM, I think

32
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: it requires patients on our end. UM. It requires great

33
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 1: effort on his end, which is never an issue. UM.

34
00:01:58,000 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: And he does a great job of working is but

35
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 1: off every week to try to give us, UM, you

36
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: know what we're asking for. UM. And you know, there's

37
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 1: there's so many areas of quarterback play that require um,

38
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 1: you know, work, require your attention, require your focus and concentration,

39
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: and require you know, correction and then more work to

40
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: try to fix it and make it better. UM. Fundamentals,

41
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: there's the whole defensive part of it. There's our scheme,

42
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:33,679
Speaker 1: what we ask of the quarterback pre snap post snap reads.

43
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,119
Speaker 1: Then there's the accuracy part of it. Then we add

44
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 1: in the weather recently. You know. It's it's it's a

45
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 1: never ending process. So um, we take every day as

46
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: an opportunity to work on things and try to make

47
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: them better. And I think we've always had a long

48
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 1: term view on this, which is why you don't go

49
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: up and down, you know, and ride a roller coaster

50
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:58,639
Speaker 1: here with this kind of a situation. It's the same

51
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,399
Speaker 1: thing with every rookie so happens to be a quarterback,

52
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 1: which we've dealt with before. But you have to you

53
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 1: know that they have talent, you know that they have

54
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 1: skills to play the position, and you just got to

55
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 1: be careful about judging what you see too early because

56
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 1: what you see early is not what you're going to

57
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: see later on as the player learns more and gets

58
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: more comfortable and understands more of what's being asked of

59
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,639
Speaker 1: him on a weekly basis, So just stay patient with him.

60
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: He's doing a great job of working his butt off

61
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: to try to improve in every area that he can,

62
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 1: and we're making progress a little by little as we

63
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: worked through the season. Yeah, I want to ask you

64
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: about the role coaster side of things, and because obviously

65
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: it's gone a really good week and there's other weeks

66
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: we talked about where it's okay, how can how can

67
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: you be a little more consistent? So how do you

68
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 1: try to keep it level for him where you know

69
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: he's not feeling too good coming off of the previous

70
00:03:54,280 --> 00:04:00,119
Speaker 1: week and you know, because this week could obviously be different. Yeah,

71
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 1: I don't really think you would sense much of a

72
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: difference in our building whether we want or lost. You know,

73
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 1: we're just trying to stay consistent from day to day

74
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: with him and with our entire group, our whole team.

75
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,799
Speaker 1: You know, we understand that this is a long season

76
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 1: and you're going to need to make progress and improve

77
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 1: and play your best towards the end of the season.

78
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: So you can't get so frustrated with the results early

79
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 1: in the year. You know, whether that be a practice,

80
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: a play, a game, a quarter, or whatever it is,

81
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: there's a process in place to try to make things better.

82
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: You try to stick to your process and try to

83
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 1: keep your self consistent as a coach, and I think

84
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 1: you see the benefits of that from your group. Offensively,

85
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 1: we've we've learned more, we know more, we can process more,

86
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: and we're doing some things better that we weren't doing

87
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 1: as well earlier in the year. So we try to

88
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 1: not ride the roller coaster. I know there's some of

89
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 1: that stuff, you know, kind of outwardly available if you

90
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 1: you know, if you if you hear it or what

91
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 1: have you read it, But you know, for us, it's

92
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 1: you know, UM, we coached the mistakes from the Browns

93
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 1: game the same way we coached, you know, the mistakes

94
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 1: from a loss this year, So there's no there's no

95
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:23,599
Speaker 1: real difference there. Thanks. Yep. Next question, Hey coach, how

96
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 1: you doing good? Evan? How are you? I'm good. I

97
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 1: got two quick questions for you, hopefully. Yeah. Number one,

98
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 1: can you just go into what went into the decision

99
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 1: to kind of have Mike on one to sort of

100
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,599
Speaker 1: be the odd man out there last week on the

101
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,840
Speaker 1: offensive line, and um, to keep Head in the starting

102
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 1: lineup at guard. Just we just you know, we knew

103
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 1: Trent was was coming back and we were going to

104
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 1: manage that situation, which we did, Um and Michael played

105
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 1: right tackle, and so you know, we knew we weren't

106
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: going to play Trent wire to wire, which we didn't

107
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: and Mike was going to be obviously in their right

108
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: tackle and he was ready to go inside as well. UM,

109
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,039
Speaker 1: but he was gonna play. We knew all six of

110
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,479
Speaker 1: them were going to play. UM. He also played some

111
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,479
Speaker 1: snaps at tight end for US. UM. And again, we'll

112
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 1: make those decisions week the week as we as we

113
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: go through the rest of the year about what's best

114
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 1: based on the health and availability of the guys we have,

115
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 1: But feel confident in all those guys. Mike's a great,

116
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:26,039
Speaker 1: you know, great, great guy, unselfish, understood his role last

117
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: week and um, you know, and he'll obviously be a

118
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: factor for us as we move forward. And the second

119
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 1: one was just about Mac And you mentioned last week

120
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 1: that you saw real growth and how he's seen indicators

121
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: from the defense pre snap and stuff like that. It

122
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 1: seemed like he had a good feel of that on

123
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,840
Speaker 1: Sunday against Cleveland. So just how have you seen him

124
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,919
Speaker 1: kind of take that information and use it once the

125
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: ball of live you know, he just every play, the

126
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:58,839
Speaker 1: quarterback has the process information in our system. Um, every

127
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 1: every every play, so um, you know, he calls a

128
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 1: play and huddle and then there's there's so much work

129
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:08,280
Speaker 1: to be done prior to the ball being snapped. You know, Um,

130
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 1: you know, he's in tune with what the defensive front is.

131
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 1: He's in tune with where the linebackers are located, what's

132
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 1: the secondary shell look like. Is their rotation is they're not? Um,

133
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 1: you know, where are our threats in the blitz game?

134
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: Where could those come from? He's the one that's handling

135
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 1: the protections, He's the one that handles the run game,

136
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 1: distributing to the blockers up front. Um, And and then

137
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 1: obviously once the ball is snapped, there's an entirely new

138
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: process that begins all over again, reading the secondary, confirming

139
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 1: what you thought you might get pre snap, and then

140
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: trying to get your eyes in the right place and

141
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: go to the right place with the ball. So um,

142
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: you know, we we ask a lot, we teach a lot,

143
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 1: um And I would say he's processed a lot and

144
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 1: he's doing well, and then continues to work hard to

145
00:07:56,080 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 1: get better each week. But there's there's so much that

146
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 1: goes into every single play, doesn't matter how basic it

147
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: seems on the surface, there's a lot that goes into it.

148
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 1: And Max's responsibility is m you know, is rather large.

149
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 1: Thank you sf YEA. Next question, Andrew Callahan, Hey, Jos's

150
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 1: following up on that laundry list of things Mac has

151
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 1: pretty snap. Has he earned total freedom at the Lion

152
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 1: of scrimmage? Yeah. I mean we've never really held our

153
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: guys back from you know, if they saw something that was,

154
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 1: you know, an issue that we needed to try to

155
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 1: u get out of or what have you. Um, I

156
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 1: would say, hopefully if we do our job right. We

157
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 1: don't have the audible you know too much. We've never

158
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 1: really done that a whole lot, but you know, yeah,

159
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 1: if he saw something that we needed to change or

160
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 1: do something to produce a positive play and get out

161
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 1: of a battle, um, you certainly could. He could do

162
00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 1: whatever he feels like he needs to do within the

163
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: game plan that we've put forward. And he did that

164
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 1: the other day, and he's done that off and on

165
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 1: during the course of the year. And then I know

166
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 1: Dean is playing one of the higher rates a Cover

167
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 1: two in the league this year. I don't know if

168
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 1: that's something he's always done, But does that force an

169
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 1: element of patience on you guys tomorrow night where sometimes

170
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 1: things down the field might not be there and you

171
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 1: just have to keep plugging along like you did Sunday. Yeah, Dean,

172
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:26,319
Speaker 1: coach pas Is Obviously, he's a really good football coach

173
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: and he's a great person too, and playing against him

174
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 1: is always different. The thing that I think I'm always

175
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 1: been most impressed with with coach Peas is his ability

176
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 1: to adapt his scheme, which is I would say multiple,

177
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 1: to the strengths and weaknesses of his players. And so

178
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 1: some games we've played them, they've been in almost entirely

179
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 1: made demand coverage. Other games they've used fifty sixty seventy

180
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 1: percent blit zones. Some games have been more split safety

181
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 1: coverage and less of that other stuff. So he has

182
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 1: a great feel for what his defense can do well.

183
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 1: He has a great feel for how to use his

184
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: best players and most disruptive players, and he has a

185
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,079
Speaker 1: great feel for how to try to slow you down

186
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 1: and take away some of your strengths. So there's no

187
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 1: question that this game tomorrow night will require discipline, patience,

188
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 1: and execution because we're gonna We're not going to see

189
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 1: the same thing over and over it either. So he

190
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:29,560
Speaker 1: may play something that looks similar but it is not

191
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,679
Speaker 1: the same thing, or he may make something that looks

192
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: like post safety, you know end ups like split safety

193
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 1: wants the ball snap. So there's a lot of variety,

194
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:42,359
Speaker 1: there's a lot of skies. There's an element of discipline

195
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 1: that's going to be required post snap that we know

196
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 1: we're going to be challenged with and our skill group,

197
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:52,559
Speaker 1: our receivers, our tight ends, our quarterbacks, our backs are

198
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 1: going to need to really be tied together tomorrow in

199
00:10:55,720 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 1: order for us to produce consistently positive place Thanks yep,

200
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 1: Well do your final question from Mike Race. Josh, how

201
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 1: you doing good? Michael? How are you good? Let's let's

202
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 1: build off that. I mean, you talked a lot about

203
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 1: the way they play under Dean, but how about their personnel?

204
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 1: You know, who are some of their best and most

205
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 1: disruptive players. Yeah, they you know. And the one thing

206
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 1: before I talk about the personnel, they they they're not

207
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 1: in the same spots all the time either, so um,

208
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,200
Speaker 1: you know they have a they've they kind of have

209
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 1: some positionless people which are which is interesting for us

210
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 1: to identify. Um, you know, uh, certainly upfront, Jarrett is

211
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 1: a guy that we've we know well, Um, he's had

212
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 1: some pretty interesting games against US, uh and certainly is

213
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,439
Speaker 1: deserving of all the uh you know, the attention that

214
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 1: he gets, uh, and that we're going to need to

215
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:54,079
Speaker 1: give him as well. Very disruptive player, penetrates, spin moves,

216
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 1: great effort in the pass, rush, tackles for loss in

217
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 1: a running game. Um, that that's that's an issue. You know.

218
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,679
Speaker 1: Their ends are are guys that play hard, get up

219
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 1: the field. You know, can can rush the quarterback on

220
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,319
Speaker 1: the edge. But also you know they do a lot

221
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 1: of moving and stunting with their front so they can

222
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 1: come inside. They try to create some negative plays with

223
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 1: moving up front and the running game, which this is

224
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 1: going to be a challenge for us, especially in a

225
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 1: short week when you don't have a chance to practice

226
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 1: those things. So we've seen it, you know, it might

227
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 1: take us a little bit to get comfortable with it

228
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 1: and seeing it in the game on Thursday night. Dan

229
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 1: Jones is one of the best linebackers will play, Um,

230
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,680
Speaker 1: no question about it. He gets to if you don't

231
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 1: block him, he's going to get to the ball and

232
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 1: usually when he gets the ball, he makes the tackle.

233
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 1: So um, you know a lot of times we talk

234
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 1: about linebackers that you know, we got to do something

235
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:48,679
Speaker 1: with the down guys and when they get there, they

236
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 1: get there. This guy's a different story. If you don't

237
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 1: block him, he'll be in the backfield. He'll chase it

238
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 1: from sideline to sideline. He's plays with a great motor.

239
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 1: He's a good blitzer. They don't blitz a lot, but

240
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 1: he blitz is. He's really disruptive, you know, which is

241
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 1: a credit to Dean in terms of the timing that

242
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 1: he uses them and Jones relative to being, you know,

243
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 1: really slippery as a guy that our backs are going

244
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 1: to have to account for. And then we know Duran.

245
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 1: Duran's very heavy guy, does a good job in the

246
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 1: deep part of the field. They rarely get the ball

247
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 1: thrown over their head, which is I would say a

248
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 1: typical Deemp's defense. You know, they make you drive it.

249
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 1: They don't give up, you know, fifty yard chunks in

250
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 1: the passing game a lot. And and Duran you can

251
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 1: tell he kind of quarterbacks the deep part of the

252
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 1: field and make sure that that's taking care of and

253
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 1: he does a great job just like he did when

254
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:37,959
Speaker 1: he was here. Um, this will be our first time

255
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 1: playing against Tarrell on the on the right. Young player,

256
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 1: really sticky in coverage, fast, good speed, disruptive when the

257
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,719
Speaker 1: balls thrown them to him. So they got a lot

258
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 1: of They got some players at each level of the

259
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 1: defense that are really disruptive guys, and you've got to

260
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 1: know where they're at. You got to get a body

261
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,439
Speaker 1: on them. You got to be patient, disciplined relative to

262
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 1: taking what they give you in the passing game, and

263
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 1: you've got to be careful about avoiding negative situations in

264
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 1: the running game because they can either run through it. Linebacker,

265
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 1: these are probably two of the fastest linebackers we're gonna play.

266
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 1: I mean, both of them are Sup four six, So

267
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 1: they got great speed in the linebacking corps and they

268
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 1: got some disruptive guys up front. So big challenge. We

269
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 1: just talked about some of the games previous that we've

270
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 1: played against Dean on some of the challenges that he's

271
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 1: presented to us in those games. We've seen all the

272
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 1: Atlanta stuff and it's, you know, like it always is.

273
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 1: It's like a tornado in a short week. So excited

274
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: to finish our preparation tonight tomorrow and then get into

275
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 1: the stadium and grind it out. Thanks safe travels now

276
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: we'll see it down there. You got it all right

277
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 1: guys very much, Thank you everyone,
