1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,240 Speaker 1: To sort of see everybody, I guess, but we'll get 2 00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:06,440 Speaker 1: started for sure. Yesterday we're last night, I would say 3 00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:10,000 Speaker 1: I was one really proud of the effort of the guys, 4 00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:12,880 Speaker 1: and I thought, well, that's some coach cliche. But I 5 00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:15,800 Speaker 1: think fifteen weeks out we said there was gonna be 6 00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:18,799 Speaker 1: a lot of moving parts, and it happened again this week. 7 00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:22,480 Speaker 1: We had some guys who were out with COVID, including 8 00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:28,000 Speaker 1: some coaches, so to have Aden and Malik and Tristan 9 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:32,280 Speaker 1: and Jay Lou when those things happen, you know, like 10 00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:35,879 Speaker 1: I said, it is coaching cliche that you get stronger 11 00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:39,280 Speaker 1: from those moments where other guys have different trust opportunities 12 00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:42,040 Speaker 1: to go and do it. But it's also very true 13 00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:44,920 Speaker 1: and certainly for a guy like Ab to move inside 14 00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,920 Speaker 1: to play Nicol and Kelvin to move outside and get 15 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:52,440 Speaker 1: his first start outside. There's a lot of talk, obviously, 16 00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 1: and there should be on seven and eleven and ninety 17 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:56,920 Speaker 1: and ninety four, and it definitely should be. But I'm 18 00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:00,840 Speaker 1: also especially proud of guys like Keanu and JK and 19 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:04,319 Speaker 1: Anthony Brown who moved inside and Kelvin so um in 20 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 1: this game. That's one of the things I was happy 21 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 1: about to move guys into different spots and have those 22 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 1: moments come through in that spot, and that would be 23 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,720 Speaker 1: a guy like Anthony who went inside so um, but 24 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,600 Speaker 1: past that lots uh to talk about. So let you 25 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:23,920 Speaker 1: guys rip it with some questions. And it's hard to 26 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:28,360 Speaker 1: the just the level of athletic difficulty. You know that 27 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 1: DeMarcus Lawrence play and describe what you describe that play 28 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 1: and just how often you've seen that sort of play 29 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:40,480 Speaker 1: and just how difficult it is. Well, I thought there 30 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:44,479 Speaker 1: was one just having the ability to catch, you know, 31 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 1: and make people miss on space. If you go back 32 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 1: and watch it and you see how hard guys are 33 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 1: battling to help him getting the end. So I think 34 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 1: Donovan was one and Randy was another. I think that 35 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 1: kind of speaks to, you know, the level that they'll 36 00:01:58,080 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 1: go to for their guys. I thought that was like 37 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 1: a a real example of brotherhood that we talk about. 38 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 1: But on Donna, on that particular one of him getting down, 39 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,920 Speaker 1: he got just enough I thought of the center to 40 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 1: give law a chance to make a move on the 41 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 1: quarterback to go, because if he doesn't get there, the 42 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,239 Speaker 1: center probably you know, knocks him out of bounds just 43 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,800 Speaker 1: where it was. But it was a fantastic play. I 44 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,640 Speaker 1: was so excited up in the press box and um, 45 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:23,800 Speaker 1: you know this yelling form ole excited I was. But 46 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 1: I guess then a couple of weeks to see two 47 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 1: d lineman uh show their hands and getting the end 48 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 1: zone with Carlos and then with the Marcus, we're all 49 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 1: really fired up for him, you know, you know, I 50 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,079 Speaker 1: don't know that's that's um certainly a question for another 51 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 1: team's press conference. But what I would say, you know, 52 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 1: like we knew coming in they were going to take 53 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,240 Speaker 1: shots and that's part of their game plan to go. 54 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 1: So when those moments happened, you know where they block 55 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 1: it up and they have a side that they want 56 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 1: to go to. Um, that happened some. But what is 57 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 1: so damn impressive is the way trade can track it. 58 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,959 Speaker 1: And uh there was a spot there where he went 59 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,360 Speaker 1: from being the defender to being the receiver and uh, 60 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 1: not everybody has that trade, but he certainly does. And 61 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 1: uh so to have that play happen at the end 62 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 1: and uh no more excited to see Aiden uh and 63 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,360 Speaker 1: his celebration for his dad and how cool that was too. 64 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,519 Speaker 1: So I would say Uh, I don't know why. You know, 65 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 1: you pick and choose. I mean, that's ball. You gotta 66 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 1: go and take your shots. But I think the most 67 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:32,799 Speaker 1: impressive part was the way he tracked it and then 68 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 1: really transitioned to where he was going to get the pass. 69 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 1: You mentioned last week that obviously, but series the quarterback 70 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 1: and past affections. Yeah, when those moments happened, then you 71 00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 1: really feel like the team connection it's not just on 72 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 1: a pass play can be as on a simple run play. 73 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 1: There was a good example early in a run play 74 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 1: with Chauncey Golson really set the edge on the tight 75 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 1: end coming across and Kiki came and I thought his 76 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 1: contact and hit so like it can be in a run, 77 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 1: it can be in a pass. But when you see 78 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 1: our guys working and sync together, I think that's a 79 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:19,719 Speaker 1: really big deal. And one of the things that we 80 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,360 Speaker 1: would say is, hey, I'll do my job so you 81 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 1: can do yours. And those two the examples you're pointing out. 82 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,159 Speaker 1: On the pass with Mica and Trey is an example 83 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,239 Speaker 1: just like it was in the run game with Chauncey 84 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,160 Speaker 1: and Keano. If you know your guy is going to 85 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 1: be in your spot and you force a ball to 86 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 1: go a certain way. It allows you to play faster 87 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,039 Speaker 1: and more aggressive because you know your guy is going 88 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 1: to be in the right spot. And I think those 89 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,039 Speaker 1: two plays probably illustrate that as well as any others. 90 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 1: DAN starting this week, teams needing coaches and s interviewing candidates, 91 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 1: and I'm sure your name is going to be up 92 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,600 Speaker 1: on this place you go through a four. Yet how 93 00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:00,080 Speaker 1: do you just stay handling that? And what do you with? 94 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 1: What do you think of the change where our teams 95 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:06,479 Speaker 1: can now talk to coaches and regular season games to go? Yeah, 96 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,279 Speaker 1: I think, um, you know, the league's trying to do 97 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 1: a good job to make sure there's access for people, 98 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 1: and I hope one day in the future. What is 99 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 1: even more challenging is when a team decides to hire 100 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 1: a coach, you know, during a long playoff run, and 101 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 1: they're having to wait till the end of the year. 102 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 1: So I'm hopeful that one day we can change that 103 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:29,200 Speaker 1: rule as well. I went through it firsthand in two 104 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 1: fourteen when I was at Seattle, and you don't get 105 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 1: named till after, but there was pretty good chance I 106 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 1: was going there. And Kyle Shanahan had a similar experience 107 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 1: in sixteen at Atlanta going to San Francisco. So um, 108 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 1: as far as your question goes, I think it's good, 109 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 1: you know, for the league to get access to people 110 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 1: when you know there's time to do it. And the 111 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,360 Speaker 1: people that are getting you know, called to ask these 112 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 1: are you know, people they want to get more familiar with. 113 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 1: I think it's a good thing. But I'm hopeful that 114 00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 1: we even take it a step further in a few 115 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,599 Speaker 1: years to say when the time is right. I know 116 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 1: we do it in some other leagues to hire somebody 117 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 1: that they're able to do that. But like all things, 118 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:10,679 Speaker 1: I think, uh, you know, progress is sometimes little steps 119 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:12,279 Speaker 1: at a time, and I think this would be I 120 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 1: think one that's better for the NFL if if you know, 121 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 1: it's our first year of trying it, We'll see where 122 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 1: it goes. But I think it's a good start one 123 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 1: of your second opportunity. I mean, obviously your focus on 124 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 1: the Cowboys. Johnson said it leaguers down right. I think 125 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,359 Speaker 1: you know, for me coming here, I wasn't you know, 126 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 1: coming here to look what my next job would be. 127 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:43,280 Speaker 1: I wanted to come in here and have a blast 128 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 1: and hopefully kick ass and you know, make an impact. 129 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 1: That we can and um, I probably I don't know 130 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 1: if you saw me in the press box last night, 131 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 1: like I was having hell of a good time, you know, 132 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 1: Okay when you see a guy like uh to Marcus Score, 133 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 1: That's what I love about coaching. So um, if those 134 00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 1: moments come, you know, I'll be ready for them if 135 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 1: the right scenario um came about. But honestly, I'm having 136 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,240 Speaker 1: a blast being you know, right here with this crew 137 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 1: and going for it. So that's where my mind is, 138 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 1: That's where my heart. I don't really really spend a 139 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,680 Speaker 1: lot of time, um thinking about down the road of 140 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,119 Speaker 1: what's next. I just really like being in the moment 141 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 1: with the guys. So um, nothing to report on my 142 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 1: end in that space. And uh, like I said, I'm 143 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 1: having a blast doing what I'm doing. All those lines. 144 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 1: When you're an head coach, there's a lot of administrators 145 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 1: from with that job. This season for you, I'm just 146 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 1: kind of getting back to coaching, and its curious sense 147 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 1: that an experience one it's you're like you nailed that 148 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 1: is a big piece of the head coaching m role 149 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 1: where you're kind of setting the course in the schedule 150 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 1: for everybody and one of your top jobs as UM, 151 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 1: a head coach is obviously coaching all the coaches too, 152 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 1: to make sure the message gets down from them to 153 00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 1: the players. So for me kind of getting back like 154 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 1: you just said, of being in the meeting rooms, getting 155 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 1: in the teaching, being out on the field, you know, 156 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 1: and getting to do individual with the guys. Um, it's 157 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,440 Speaker 1: been a blast and so I definitely have enjoyed it. 158 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 1: I really wanted to make sure, Um, you know, coming 159 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 1: into this year, when you when you get let go, 160 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 1: some of the joy is gone. You know, you put 161 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 1: your heart and soul into it doesn't work out. And 162 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 1: so by me coming here and being a part of this, 163 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 1: I've recaptured a lot of that what I love about 164 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 1: coaching and all the energy that it goes into it. 165 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 1: And uh so my wife Stace and I were having 166 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,719 Speaker 1: a blast here to do it, but uh getting You're 167 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 1: right to get back to the level of coaching and 168 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,320 Speaker 1: connection with the guys. Um, it's been all that I'd 169 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:47,720 Speaker 1: hoped it would be here at it. So he's gone 170 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 1: to start. Ye want to hear you got a calling 171 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 1: Joe stepping into that figger roll and is how he 172 00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 1: played one. I thought he played with a lot of confidence, 173 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 1: and I I knew that he would. I thought he'd 174 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,200 Speaker 1: played well. He's been preparing well in practice, so you 175 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 1: have a good chance when that comes to come up. 176 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 1: But what I did like was at the line of scrimmage, 177 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:10,560 Speaker 1: and I think you guys probably saw that too, where 178 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 1: he could really get his hands on somebody and lock 179 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 1: him out. I thought he had a good couple good tackles, 180 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:17,320 Speaker 1: in fact, one on a TfL I think on one 181 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 1: of the swing screens. But for his first moment, it 182 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,319 Speaker 1: was exciting to see him get in and do all 183 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 1: the things that he's been working on. And sometimes when 184 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 1: you're not playing a lot, it can get frustrating, you know, 185 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,200 Speaker 1: because you're waiting for your moment, you're waiting for your chance. 186 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 1: And he's been playing well on special teams, so I 187 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 1: think it goes to show, you know, when you put 188 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 1: the work in, and there's gonna be a time, you know, 189 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 1: for everybody on this roster. And I think no bigger 190 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 1: example this year than our defense of how many people 191 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 1: have played. When your numbers called and you deliver, there's 192 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 1: a lot of trust and a lot of confidence that 193 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,680 Speaker 1: gets that comes out of that, and I thought he 194 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 1: was the next example of a guy who's you know, 195 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 1: when your numbers called and you deliver, gives a lot 196 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:57,200 Speaker 1: of confidence because there's going to be another opportunity, you know, 197 00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,319 Speaker 1: moving forward when these things happen, and I thought he 198 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:07,320 Speaker 1: really nailed it. Damn we're shoving them. Have anything in 199 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 1: his skill set that is unique from a V and 200 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,960 Speaker 1: Jordan that based on what you saw yesterday, you wouldn't 201 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:20,760 Speaker 1: feel any compulsion going forward to find a way to 202 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,080 Speaker 1: get him on the field. There's a lot of guys 203 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:27,079 Speaker 1: who fall under that space of finding more UM and 204 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,200 Speaker 1: they're at dB, they're at linebacker, that a defensive line. 205 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,319 Speaker 1: But I think what it went to go and show 206 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:34,679 Speaker 1: Brad inside how strong he played on the line of 207 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,680 Speaker 1: scrimmage against certain guys where he could really get his 208 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 1: hands on and lock you out. And not everybody plays 209 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,440 Speaker 1: in that style. So I would imagine there'll be some 210 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,559 Speaker 1: players UM. You know, when you're talking about a matchup 211 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 1: and who do you want to feature a player on UM? 212 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 1: Now you have some ways to do that. Hey, this 213 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 1: is a guy that you want to stay on UM, 214 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 1: then he's got the strength to do that. Coach, you 215 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 1: talked about guys waiting for here when you've got so 216 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:07,080 Speaker 1: much talentar zelevent in reserve roles, how do you know 217 00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:11,120 Speaker 1: about trying to foster competition at these indission falls and 218 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 1: making sure that there's not discontent with their role. Yeah, 219 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:16,080 Speaker 1: and that is a fine line, Bobby, And the way 220 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,720 Speaker 1: that we try to think through it. There's about eighteen 221 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 1: or nineteen starters you know that are here nice and 222 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:22,720 Speaker 1: one of them that doesn't make sense. There's only eleven 223 00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 1: that play. But I think there's enough significant roles of 224 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 1: safeties and linebackers and pass rushers to run guys to 225 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 1: go into those And so it's not always easy, I'll 226 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,439 Speaker 1: be honest with you to make sure you're these are 227 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,160 Speaker 1: really competitive guys who want to go put out and 228 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 1: show to others. Hey man, you like you can count 229 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 1: on me when this job is up. And so each 230 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 1: game is a little bit different. Sometimes you see some 231 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 1: playtime more in one game versus another based on a 232 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 1: style of an offense or how they deploy you know, 233 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 1: three or four receiver sets or or even less. And 234 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 1: so that's kind of the fun part of the game 235 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 1: planning because not every single week is exactly the same. 236 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:05,360 Speaker 1: But it's definitely a challenge. But I think months ago, um, 237 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:08,960 Speaker 1: we had a good discussion about going from selfish to 238 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,160 Speaker 1: self less, and uh, that's not an easy thing to do. 239 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 1: But at the end, when everybody's playing well and you 240 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,600 Speaker 1: got all this whole crew going and they're really busting 241 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 1: their ass and putting out for one other, Um, that helps. 242 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 1: But yes, it's not. It's definitely a tricky moment that 243 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 1: you have to work through. But fortunately for us, because 244 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,400 Speaker 1: of the connection of them and the team, um, they're 245 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 1: able to work through it and we are too. And 246 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,520 Speaker 1: one even a little bit more as you get closer 247 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,920 Speaker 1: to the playoffs and understand you have particular matchups, but 248 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:46,440 Speaker 1: in general, tighten the rotation to keep it the same 249 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:54,719 Speaker 1: as he kind of developed over the course of the seas. Yeah, 250 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 1: I think, um, honestly, right now where we're going, we 251 00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 1: just you know, getting some guys who are back and 252 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:01,760 Speaker 1: get some more playing time and like, for instance, you 253 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 1: know a guy like Gallimore, let's keep him playing. You know, 254 00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:05,600 Speaker 1: he didn't have a lot of playing time and d 255 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:09,200 Speaker 1: Law to get him playing. So as we get you know, 256 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,200 Speaker 1: over the next couple weeks, I think it's important part 257 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,559 Speaker 1: to get guys in their rotation, get their feeling good, 258 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,520 Speaker 1: and it'd be nice if we could get all of 259 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,200 Speaker 1: us going together to get more time, but sometimes that's 260 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 1: how it works out due to injuries and otherwise, you know, 261 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 1: talking about like Jordan and Malik and Tristan out in 262 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,880 Speaker 1: the last few So just finding that time together where 263 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,880 Speaker 1: it's a look, it's a hand signal. Those are the 264 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:34,319 Speaker 1: things that you need to continue to work on as 265 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,959 Speaker 1: a group because when you're playing, you know, out on 266 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:38,800 Speaker 1: the field, it's not all just according to Hey, this 267 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,360 Speaker 1: is what the playbook says, and it's how that communication. Hey, 268 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:43,320 Speaker 1: let's in and out this player, let's this is a 269 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 1: pass call. What's the signal? How do we go? So 270 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:48,600 Speaker 1: I think the more time the guys get together, that's 271 00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 1: as important David as anything, because the matchups will kind 272 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,760 Speaker 1: of take care of themselves depending on who we're playing 273 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:57,720 Speaker 1: and how they want to play. But what you can't 274 00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:00,840 Speaker 1: really replicate is the time and the together to make 275 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 1: sure they're going. I think that's why on this particular group, 276 00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 1: when we had guys on IR or guys who weren't 277 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:09,520 Speaker 1: out and they were still a big part of the 278 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:12,480 Speaker 1: meetings to keep their focus to do that I think 279 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,040 Speaker 1: it allowed them to get back into the mix faster. 280 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,320 Speaker 1: David so a guy like Law who was out six 281 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 1: or eight weeks, or Neville who was even longer, and 282 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:21,880 Speaker 1: so they were in the meetings, they were in it. 283 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 1: They didn't, you know, just step away and do their 284 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 1: rehab and then step back into the moment. But by 285 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:28,520 Speaker 1: being in there, I can just still remember I was 286 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:30,960 Speaker 1: just going through a cut up earlier today to watch 287 00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:34,720 Speaker 1: I think it was Arizona in the preseason. I see 288 00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 1: DeMarcus with his pants on in a jersey and knowing 289 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:40,400 Speaker 1: that he wasn't playing in that game, but it just 290 00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:43,680 Speaker 1: kind of showed like it reminded me, I guess of 291 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 1: like how far everybody's in for one another, you know, 292 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,200 Speaker 1: coaching guys on the sideline even when you're not in 293 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 1: And I think that goes, you know, to the talk 294 00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,760 Speaker 1: of his leadership and others on the team as well. 295 00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,640 Speaker 1: But long answer for you, but I think at the 296 00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,000 Speaker 1: end of the day, having this many guys back in 297 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,080 Speaker 1: the rooms and back in it allows that connection to 298 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 1: happen faster. But it still comes down to like on 299 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 1: the job training, you have to do it out at practice, 300 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:08,240 Speaker 1: you have to be on the grass, and then in 301 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,760 Speaker 1: the game is where the most happens as loud as hell. 302 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,760 Speaker 1: Our crowd was ripping last night, so you know, how 303 00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 1: do you communicate nonverbally when calls come in? And those 304 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,520 Speaker 1: are the things that you can't replicate, because not only 305 00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:23,200 Speaker 1: was it loud last night, I hope it gets even 306 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:25,840 Speaker 1: louder in the weeks ahead, but last night you could 307 00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 1: feel the energy from the crowd, and working in that 308 00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 1: environment is a big piece of it. Yes, yeah, I 309 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:46,000 Speaker 1: would say I think that a lot when it does 310 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,800 Speaker 1: go up to his direction, because say, okay, we got 311 00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:52,400 Speaker 1: a shot here, and then he'll constantly impressed me with 312 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 1: someones that I didn't think that were there and he had, 313 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 1: you know, chances to go get it. But when it's 314 00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:02,120 Speaker 1: fifty fifty, I don't thinking of his fifty fifty when 315 00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:03,640 Speaker 1: the ball goes up, you know, with him in a 316 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:16,120 Speaker 1: one on one, truly one on one scenario, the first 317 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:22,160 Speaker 1: players today, okay, well, I think, um, the film study 318 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 1: a lot goes into that, and because quite honestly, when 319 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:29,680 Speaker 1: you're an outside player, not it's not all the formations jury. 320 00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 1: So sometimes it's a release. Um, Sometimes it's where the 321 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,720 Speaker 1: receiver is on a split, you know, like oftentimes we 322 00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,880 Speaker 1: use the numbers as a landmark inside the numbers, outside 323 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:42,520 Speaker 1: the numbers whereas he and so those things can sometimes 324 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,640 Speaker 1: tell there's also some different depths that somebody may do 325 00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:48,840 Speaker 1: a double move, or are there routes timed or what's 326 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 1: his release like? And so as a corner you can 327 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 1: really dig in. I think like corners and pass rushers, 328 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:57,200 Speaker 1: they can really study the player or players that they're 329 00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,720 Speaker 1: going against a lot where some other positions like a 330 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:03,000 Speaker 1: say safety formations and alerts and formations and alert and 331 00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 1: a middle linebacker, but out on the edges at corners 332 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,720 Speaker 1: and pass rushers at defensive ends, I think you can 333 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,960 Speaker 1: gain a lot from the player. What's his stance, what's 334 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:14,879 Speaker 1: his release for the offensive line, words his hands go. 335 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,000 Speaker 1: So those are big pieces I think in the film study, 336 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,439 Speaker 1: I would say for him, it's a big part of it. 337 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:33,160 Speaker 1: Absolutely anyway. I think, um one, we know that there's 338 00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 1: some definite stars with um Trey and with Steph, but uh, 339 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:40,639 Speaker 1: there's another star in that house, and he may not 340 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:43,080 Speaker 1: have his time for a few more years. But uh, 341 00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:47,359 Speaker 1: seeing like that kind of enthusiasm and love, you know, 342 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,480 Speaker 1: it's really cool to see and so when he gets 343 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,560 Speaker 1: so excited, Um, it's just a really cool thing. So 344 00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:54,400 Speaker 1: my wife had impacts that showed me when he get 345 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,399 Speaker 1: you know, just jumping up and down excited. So just 346 00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,000 Speaker 1: seeing that for your parent, I think it's kind of 347 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:02,200 Speaker 1: a cool thing to see. Hey, guys, one more question, please, 348 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:05,600 Speaker 1: then if you can take us back to when you 349 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,920 Speaker 1: were in Atlanta and evaluating Treyhan and did it ever 350 00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:10,960 Speaker 1: come up from Hey, his brother's a pretty good player 351 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:12,720 Speaker 1: and not did that guarantee that you will be a 352 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,719 Speaker 1: player in the league. But what did you guys think 353 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:19,480 Speaker 1: of the brother dynamic when you guys were looking at it, Well, 354 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,640 Speaker 1: you know, we because they didn't play the same position, Todd, 355 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 1: that's a little different. Sometimes it's easier to say, okay, 356 00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:28,840 Speaker 1: he was a receiver or defensive end or thinking like 357 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 1: the Watts. You know, okay, older brother, bigger. This guy's different. 358 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:34,560 Speaker 1: And I think sometimes you have to be careful in 359 00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:37,080 Speaker 1: those moments to make sure there's that son again, I 360 00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:39,480 Speaker 1: like it right in my face. I think you have 361 00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:45,119 Speaker 1: to be really careful not to put somebody he's just 362 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:49,480 Speaker 1: like that. And so one thing you did know is 363 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:53,200 Speaker 1: they both had the same competitive fire and drive and 364 00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:57,200 Speaker 1: insight to go and we knew that from Stefan years ago. 365 00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:58,800 Speaker 1: We had actually recruited him when I was at the 366 00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:02,080 Speaker 1: University of Florida and trade came on the visits with 367 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:06,120 Speaker 1: him as a young one, and so when we knew 368 00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:08,800 Speaker 1: we were looking at him, you knew all the competitive 369 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:10,479 Speaker 1: stuff and the ball skills were there, and you just 370 00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,240 Speaker 1: had a sense when he got into the NFL with 371 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,920 Speaker 1: these kind of ball skills, it would translate. And sometimes 372 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,120 Speaker 1: you hear, you know, coaches or scouts use that word. 373 00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:21,280 Speaker 1: Why does it translate? Because his ball skills were rare 374 00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,359 Speaker 1: and in the NFL, if you have rare things and 375 00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:27,280 Speaker 1: you can you know, utilize those rare traits, there's a 376 00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 1: chance that you got some big production and uh, he's 377 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,560 Speaker 1: delivered on those. We're gonna have to wrap this, so 378 00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:40,400 Speaker 1: thank you guys. All right, Yeah, one more go ahead, 379 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:42,040 Speaker 1: better be a good one. I mean, if it's not, 380 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:43,639 Speaker 1: we're going to dock you next week. You do not 381 00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:56,360 Speaker 1: get us follow up. Lepresents you this week obviously. Yeah, 382 00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:59,240 Speaker 1: and uh, well, I think the first thing goes um 383 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,480 Speaker 1: is the extension no plays you know that you talk 384 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 1: about when you're facing a quarterback with his escapability. You're 385 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,480 Speaker 1: really defending two plays, so Calvin, the first one may 386 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,439 Speaker 1: start in a regular drop back, and then the second 387 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:14,760 Speaker 1: one if he wants to, you know, get outside and 388 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 1: we call the word plaster where you have to you know, 389 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:20,400 Speaker 1: turn into man to man on those moments. But that's 390 00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:23,560 Speaker 1: the first thing. And then I think, knowing that he 391 00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:25,879 Speaker 1: can rip the ball from any part on the field, 392 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,359 Speaker 1: not only do you have to defend it horizontally, you 393 00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 1: have to defend it vertically as well, and those are 394 00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,720 Speaker 1: usually the most challenging people. Sometimes you can say, hey, 395 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:36,679 Speaker 1: they're gonna work to this side of the field or 396 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:38,960 Speaker 1: this side of the formation, or there's an alert that goes. 397 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:42,080 Speaker 1: But when you're alive at any part of the field, 398 00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:45,359 Speaker 1: then I think that presents more challenges than most. So 399 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:48,200 Speaker 1: we face other good quarterbacks this year and we'll face 400 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,240 Speaker 1: some more to going but he's definitely has some unique 401 00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 1: things based on his ability to create plays on the run. 402 00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,920 Speaker 1: So tough competitor for sure. You can feel that he's 403 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,119 Speaker 1: takes a hit, gets back up, gets into it, and 404 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,360 Speaker 1: he always seems to be have his team in the fight. 405 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:08,359 Speaker 1: All Right, your question was worthy. We'll give you another 406 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:09,960 Speaker 1: one next Week album all Right, you guys have a 407 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:10,480 Speaker 1: going see you
