1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:04,120
Speaker 1: All right, good morning, How are you doing. Good? Good?

2
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:08,800
Speaker 1: We're yeah, a long week here, um to get ready

3
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:11,720
Speaker 1: for Arizona. But that's good. Um. Of course they have

4
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 1: it too, so UM, but just kind of get back

5
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:18,759
Speaker 1: into the swing of things here today and you know,

6
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 1: then have a normal week here leading into Monday night.

7
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 1: I'll start on Thursday. So UM. You know, still a

8
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:28,639
Speaker 1: team we don't have a lot of familiarity with, but

9
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 1: you know we did play him a couple of years ago,

10
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 1: so um, more so than maybe some of the other

11
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:38,200
Speaker 1: NFC teams. But very explosive team, a lot of firepower

12
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:45,480
Speaker 1: skill players on offense, UM, pressure defense obviously, a couple

13
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:52,200
Speaker 1: of experienced specialists of guy's probably as much time together

14
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 1: as um the whole conference might have. UM. But UM,

15
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 1: so you know some obviously a lot of familiarization work

16
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: to do, but looking forward to it. Get on track

17
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 1: and then UM, yeah, very well. It's announced today that

00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: Year award. Um, what are what are your thoughts on

00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 1: that and just sort of your observations of having worked

21
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 1: with him for multiple years now and how he balances

22
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 1: community and performance in the field. Yeah, Larrinthon Andrew do

23
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:38,360

24
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: a lot of things. Um you know, it's been a

25
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:45,680
Speaker 1: community award runner here and um, so yeah, I'm very

26
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:47,080

27
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 1: guys there, you know, are involved on that. You know,

28
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: Cody uh want a NFL and VP Award earlier in

29
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 1: the year, John Jones last week, that weekly award that

30
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 1: they give out, Um, you know, I mean I think

31
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 1: you could nominate Matts later and Devin McCord from Man

32
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: of the Year every week every month every year. So, um,

33
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 1: you know, we have a lot of guys and certainly

34
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 1: you know, happy at Lawrence got recognized, but recognize all

35
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: the other things that our players do on off the field,

36
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: and I'm proud of these guys. How would you describe

37
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: the level of leadership you have from the group that

38
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 1: you have this year as far as that, Yeah, good,

39
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:44,119
Speaker 1: I mean these guys are, um, you know, very involved,

40
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: um you know with the team and all those activities.

41
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 1: But then beyond that, they but there's their foundations. Um,

42
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 1: you know, Devin's bowling the Wise m LG as an event.

43
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: I mean those guys all have you know, lots of

44
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 1: events John um, you know, other events to continue to

45
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 1: support their individual uh causes um and interest uh and

46
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 1: and the team gets behind you know a lot of those. UM.

47
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:19,679
Speaker 1: So we we kind of try to keep up with everybody,

48
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: you know, through the course of the year. It's pretty

49
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: impressive collectively what what they all do and individually. You know,

50
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 1: there's some guys that really stand out, like lg Um.

51
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: So yeah, those guys are so this impressive group. And

52
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray's one of many dual threat quarterbacks in the league.

53
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 1: Now you know what if anything makes them from unique

54
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: from some of the other athletic quarterbacks you faced. Yeah,

55
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 1: he's already got you know, a few records and and

56
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: obviously a lot of production, a couple of Pro Bowls

57
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: and all that, uh you know in three years. So

58
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: um yeah, very talented guy. UM, athletic, quick, elusive, fast,

59
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 1: obviously a lot different than a guy like Josh Allen,

60
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: but productive and athletic, but you know, less size and

61
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 1: maybe a little more speed and quickness that kind of thing.

62
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,719
Speaker 1: But yeah, tough guy to defend, extends a lot of plays.

63
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 1: Um and they you know, he's in the quarterback run game.

64
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 1: You know, Clouse sees him on that, and you know

65
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,840
Speaker 1: what I mean, Cliff obviously look coach in college at

66
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: momes and everything else. So he knows how to use

67
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: and put pressure on defenses with athletic quarterbacks. So not

68
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,279
Speaker 1: only does Murray do it, but he's also in a

69
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: system that I would say, yeah, probably hands is it

70
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 1: with DeAndre Hopkins a lot in the past. Would makes

71
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 1: him such a tough guy. He's just got tremendous ball

72
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 1: skills and he catches everything. He's great hands, he's long,

73
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: so it's never covered. Even if he's covered, he's there's

74
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 1: a place where the ball can be that he can

75
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 1: get it and still make the catch. Great coordination on

76
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 1: the sidelines. Um, and uh, you know he's doesn't really

77
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,160
Speaker 1: look at but he's a but he's a strong kid.

78
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 1: You know, you see him break tackles. He's a strong,

79
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 1: strong kid in terms of creating separation on routes yards

80
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,840
Speaker 1: after contact, you know, tough yards like around the goal

81
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: line or you know that extra yard for a first

82
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 1: down type of thing. You know, he's a very he's

83
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 1: a smart football player, very savvy and um, let's say

84
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 1: his ball skills are at the at the very elite

85
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 1: level of guys that you know I've seen in this league.

86
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: He's up there with whoever the top guys are Chris

87
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: Carters of the world and guys like that. I mean,

88
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: I think he's he's everybody as good as anybody I've

89
00:05:54,880 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: ever coached against. It's how you're working through some offensive

90
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 1: tackle death vision. I don't know, however you want to

91
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 1: call it. In the last game, any sense as we

92
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 1: stand here today that the picture might be different for

93
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 1: you this week at that at that spot. Yeah, we'll see, Mike, Yeah,

94
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 1: let's see. Um. Yeah, it's been availability has been um inconsistent,

95
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 1: and so we'll see what that looks like. You know,

96
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,840
Speaker 1: even on a daily basis, you know that situations or

97
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 1: or some of those players have played but not practice.

98
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 1: So but yeah, it is what it is. Will's take

99
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 1: a day by day. We aren't in lack of familiarity

100
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 1: with team in Arizona because they're playing another conference and

101
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:56,840
Speaker 1: you don't see the regular league. On top of that,

102
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 1: and maybe more players than anybody in the league seventy seven,

103
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 1: How does that complicated? Accounting for everybody and just kind

104
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,600
Speaker 1: of getting a feel for I don't really want what

105
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 1: they are with our identities, right, Yeah, that's right. This

106
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: is a team that's gone through a lot of players.

107
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 1: I mean, there are some players like Hopkins as an example,

108
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 1: that okay, he was out, but you kind of know

109
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 1: what his role is going to be when he's back,

110
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 1: and that's what it's been. I think he's been the

111
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 1: most targeted receiver in the league since he's been back,

112
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 1: which is about what you expect. But then they've certainly

113
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: had a lot of other, um, you know, changes in personnel,

114
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 1: particularly on the offensive line, that it's a little hard

115
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: to tell exactly you know, if they got settled exactly

116
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 1: how it would go. Um and and they are in

117
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:53,239
Speaker 1: various degrees of you know, players out, players coming back

118
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 1: and how all that would work. So yeah, they have

119
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 1: they have gone through a lot of players for sure.

120
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 1: Um And And again, a couple of the key guys

121
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 1: that you know are back, like like Hopkins for one,

122
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 1: it meant one of the main ones, you know, like

123
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 1: his his roles pretty well, you know established. But they

124
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 1: have so many good skilled players that you know, they

125
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 1: got a lot of them, they play them the same

126
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 1: guy was right, Yeah, a whole tight end situation. That's

127
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 1: another one that's a little bit of a you know,

128
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: try to figure out how that's going. But yeah, I mean, yeah,

129
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:34,079
Speaker 1: Zack's a big target. Really. You mentioned the longer week,

130
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 1: how was the team in the staff extra few days

131
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 1: with a game on each end, but also maybe some

132
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 1: self scouting? How do you guys use the extra time? Right? Yeah,

133
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 1: it's pretty much the same every week. Um, with a

134
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 1: little more time, you have a little more time to

135
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 1: allocate to the areas that you want to allocated to.

136
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 1: It that's self scouting or your opponent or um, certain

137
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 1: situations sorta situational football, um, you know, two minute reader

138
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:03,319
Speaker 1: at third own, goal line, shore yards, special teams, those

139
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 1: kind of things. So so let's say a little bit

140
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 1: of a smattering of all those, you know, some of

141
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: it's just a little bit more than we usually do.

142
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 1: Some of that's maybe a little bit more depth into

143
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 1: areas that we feel like would help us be more productive,

144
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 1: so we put allocate a little bit more into those

145
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 1: some of those spots. Really know, after the bye you

146
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 1: mentioned that, you know, with the short week following that

147
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 1: second Jets game in Minnesota, some of the football operations

148
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: has been time preparing for Minnesota. It seems like a

149
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 1: similar at least situation here with the biggest game coming

150
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 1: on sixties arrest. Is there some part of the team

151
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: that's preparing ahead for the Raiders since you guys will

152
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 1: stay in West, right, So that's what we do every week,

153
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 1: Like there's somebody always ahead for the following team. So

154
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 1: even if we play Sunday to Sunday, there are people

155
00:09:54,880 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 1: that are working on the next team on Wednesday, Thursday, Fridays, Saturday.

156
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,719
Speaker 1: So when we finished with a game on Sunday, then

157
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 1: everybody else can pick up with them. You know where

158
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:11,479
Speaker 1: things are at, film broken down, you know, information assembled

159
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 1: in various multiple ways, so that that process is always

160
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 1: in place. Obviously, it gets heightened a little bit when

161
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,319
Speaker 1: you're playing on it, you know, coming off a four

162
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 1: day week like the Minnesota game, right, that's that's even

163
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 1: a little bit different, But we always have that, so

164
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 1: it's not anything that's new, it's that's what we've always done.

165
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 1: So the most most of the staff members are of course,

166
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 1: the team is all dedicated to the game, but most

167
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: of the staff members are dedicated to the current game.

168
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 1: But there is a segment of our staff that's really

169
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 1: preparing for the future game, and then that carries into

170
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 1: let's call it, like you know, Monday and Tuesday of

171
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 1: a normal week, maybe even Wednesday, and then by that

172
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,320
Speaker 1: point it's kind of time for them to turn the

173
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 1: page and move on to the next opponents. So that's

174
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 1: that's kind of their routine for the whole year. I've

175
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,839
Speaker 1: done that. I've done that. That's a you know, that's

176
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 1: just you know, I've done that multiple times in my

177
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 1: career early, you know, at Baltimore and Denver, you know,

178
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: places like that, and that's that's what you do. Your

179
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,839
Speaker 1: your week is kind of I would say Wednesday to Tuesday,

180
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 1: or maybe Wednesday to Wednesday, and then once you get

181
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: to that Wednesday of the game week, then you're on

182
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 1: to the next week. And then you do things at

183
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 1: the beginning of the following week to help the staff

184
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 1: as they're getting familiar with the team. You know, there

185
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 1: will be people will say, hey, take a look at this,

186
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 1: or can you put this together, can you make a

187
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 1: tape of this, or you know, can can you look

188
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 1: into this a little bit deeper, and then you you

189
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 1: dive into those in those individual projects to help the

190
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:59,679
Speaker 1: staff prepare for the players coming in on Wednesday or

191
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:03,079
Speaker 1: third day, and usually by that time then you get

192
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 1: to the game and then you kind of have to

193
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 1: you know, re regroup and refresh or game day responsibilities.

194
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 1: Is it strictly kind of advanced scouting department for it,

195
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 1: none of its coaches have too. Oh yeah, absolutely no,

196
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,199
Speaker 1: It's sure the scouting department has their end of it.

197
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 1: They work with the coaching staff on that. But there's

198
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 1: certain members of the coaching staff, you know, in each

199
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 1: phase of the game offense, defense, special teams. That's kind

200
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 1: of in that you know, advanced preparation. No, yeah, And honestly,

201
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 1: some of it is just you know, getting all on

202
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:34,719
Speaker 1: the same page when you play a team like the

203
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 1: same team like Arizon would be a good example. And defensively,

204
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 1: they run a lot of different things, right, They run

205
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: multiple fronts of multiple coverages. They you know, let's call

206
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 1: it the per cent of the time somewhere in there,

207
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 1: and so a lot of it is just okay. And

208
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: they play a lot of different people, like they have

209
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 1: a lot of different personnel groups, So it's kind of

210
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 1: what do we calling this, like, what is this so

211
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 1: that as we're looking at it individually, you're calling it

212
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:01,680
Speaker 1: one thing calling it something else, somebody else calling it

213
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 1: something else, Like wait a minute, how are we going

214
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 1: to how are we all going to talk about this

215
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 1: so we actually know what we're talking about, Like that

216
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 1: would be a big thing for this week. Same thing

217
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 1: with um again. Arizona is a good example. Some of

218
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 1: the plays they run are you know, not quite the same.

219
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:18,680
Speaker 1: Maybe it's okay, what are we going to call this play?

220
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:20,560
Speaker 1: Is this play really that play? Or is this play

221
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 1: really you know, a different play with this little variation

222
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 1: to it, And how do we want to present that

223
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,439
Speaker 1: to the players. It's just a is it a pass?

224
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 1: Is it a run pass option? Is it a you

225
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 1: know what category does it fall into? How do we

226
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 1: how do we want to how do we want to

227
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 1: call it, and how do we want to categorize it?

228
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,839
Speaker 1: And so that part of the week of preparation is

229
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 1: very important. So when you actually start working on a team,

230
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:50,599
Speaker 1: you're not confused about and you know, everything's blurred and like,

231
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:52,320
Speaker 1: all right, what's this? What's this? This kind of looks

232
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:54,439
Speaker 1: like this, this kind of looks like bad. Where is

233
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 1: this guy's he's as a linebacker? Is he a dB?

234
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,680
Speaker 1: Is he a defensive end? Is you know, like what, okay,

235
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:03,079
Speaker 1: here in this package is this in that package? He's

236
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 1: that you know that that type of thing, and that

237
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:09,680
Speaker 1: really that really helps clear it up for for you

238
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 1: when you're coming into a new looking at a new team,

239
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 1: not a new team, but like the next team, you know,

240
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 1: because you put all your attention into the previous game

241
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 1: and now this, you know, it's kind of a quick

242
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 1: you know, synopsis of all right, this, this is what

243
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 1: you're looking at here, this is what you're doing. So

244
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 1: that that's that's really important. Um, that's part of them,

245
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 1: that's part of the process, samething with coverages. You know,

246
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 1: they're playing this well against this guy. You know, when

247
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 1: they were playing against DeVante Adams. Here's what they did.

248
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 1: It was probably because of Adams. You know. The next

249
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 1: they're playing Cooper Cup. Okay, here's they did against Cup.

250
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 1: This is the way they handled him. You know that

251
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 1: type of thingum where you kind of all right, this

252
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 1: I understand now this is basically what it is. But

253
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 1: here's the type of thing that they did for you know,

254
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 1: it's called these special players that they played against. That

255
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 1: helps helps expl lane maybe their overall like defensive philosophy.

256
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 1: So sorry, Yeah, I know we're going all day on

257
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 1: you got the time. I just wanted to clarify something

258
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 1: that he said on radio yesterday with Wire if that's okay,

259
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: just Um. I think he said it was too late

260
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 1: in the year to make any kind of dramatic changes

261
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 1: offensively in the thing. Well, I mean, look, we're not

262
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 1: gonna go to the you know, wish going offense here,

263
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 1: We're not gonna run the beer. I mean defensively, we're

264
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 1: not gonna change into it, you know, run some of

265
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 1: the team's defense or whatever. That's yeah, major changes, like yeah,

266
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 1: absolutely it will be him. It wouldn't be able to practice,

267
00:15:52,360 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 1: it wouldn't changing made a change. Yeah, but again, the

268
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 1: system that we have in place I feel good about

269
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 1: so which includes the offensive staff and includes made it

270
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 1: includes you know whatever, the whole process is. Yeah, on defense,

271
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 1: on offense, on special teams, and I know you know

272
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 1: obviously you're not going to go to the beer. But

273
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 1: I just want to ask a one example. I know

274
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 1: it's a different team, um, different situation, different year, but

275
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 1: I do remember at the end of the twenty eighteen season,

276
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 1: I think it was Josh who Um who said at

277
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 1: one point that you guys didn't make a little bit

278
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 1: of a shift late in that year, you know, to

279
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 1: to do what you were what you were good at

280
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 1: and maybe not throw quite as much and it was

281
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 1: more bad. So we do that every year. Okay, So

282
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 1: that what would you call that's just just sort of

283
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 1: a shifting well again easily. You know, we have a

284
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 1: pretty you know, i'd say we have a pretty broad

285
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 1: system here in all three phases of the game. That's

286
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 1: kind of what we do. We have you know, we

287
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:07,639
Speaker 1: have multiple, multiple groups on defense, multiple coverages, multiple fronts,

288
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:11,360
Speaker 1: so we have multiples on offense. So we have multiples

289
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 1: in the kicking game and you you know you've watched

290
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 1: us play. I mean, we have multiple So there's some

291
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 1: things you you know, trim from you know, you trim

292
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 1: the fat here and you know, move it a little

293
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 1: bit over into this direction, or maybe you add a

294
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:25,879
Speaker 1: little bit more of something that you feel like is

295
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:28,879
Speaker 1: going well. Maybe players you know doing something that or

296
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:31,880
Speaker 1: some part of your your offense or defense is doing

297
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 1: something it's a little more productive, and maybe you want

298
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 1: to add a little bit more to that. So that

299
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 1: would just be let's say, shifting the emphasis. Yeah, we

300
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 1: do that every year. I mean, I would I mean,

301
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 1: why wouldn't you, You know, you get through whatever it is,

302
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 1: you know, kind of eleven twelve, thirteen games, certainly no

303
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 1: more than you did when maybe your team's changed, or

304
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 1: maybe the opponents are going to change and you need

305
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 1: to do something a little bit different. Certainly the weather

306
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 1: that we're playing is different than we played in September,

307
00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:00,679
Speaker 1: like that in itself, not the next two games, but

308
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:05,640
Speaker 1: after that would almost necessitate some type of changeing your

309
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:09,879
Speaker 1: thinking from what it would be in September. So yeah, absolutely,

310
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 1: that's that's always That's always been a part of any

311
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 1: team I've ever been on the National Football League, from

312
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 1: Baltimore to Detroit to Denver to the Giants to New England,

313
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 1: every team I've been on, I can't think of a

314
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:34,639
Speaker 1: team where that hasn't, you know, morphed at some point

315
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:39,160
Speaker 1: into something that had declared. It might be for an

316
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:43,159
Speaker 1: obvious reason, or it might be just that's the direction

317
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 1: of the team's going. How are they dealing with Lawrence Taylor?

318
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,439
Speaker 1: How our teams Handlon Taylor? What what do we need

319
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 1: to do here? Keep doing what we're doing, or do

320
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:57,680
Speaker 1: some we changed him around a little bit the way

321
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:03,119
Speaker 1: we you know, it's thinking of particularly ninety season, but

322
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 1: even in the eighty six season, eighty seven season, like

323
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 1: those that as an example. You know, I'm just saying

324
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:12,439
Speaker 1: thing like this has happened, you know last week. I

325
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 1: mean it's been It's the only way I would know

326
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:20,919
Speaker 1: how to do things. We got also kind of apply

327
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 1: in terms of play calling going being going from conservative

328
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 1: perhaps a little more aggressive or is that still like

329
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:31,160
Speaker 1: a week to week thing depending on the defense. Yeah, Karenaman.

330
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:34,719
Speaker 1: Every week we were trying to win. So whatever that is,

331
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 1: that's what it is. Whatever plays we call this week

332
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 1: or to try to win, or plays we called last week,

333
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 1: they were to try to win. Whatever plays we called

334
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 1: a week before, that's what that was. Or last year

335
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:46,200
Speaker 1: or two years ago, or five years ago or twenty

336
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:50,159
Speaker 1: years ago. So I mean you can like them or

337
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:51,879
Speaker 1: not like them or whatever. I mean, I get that,

338
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,640
Speaker 1: but like whatever we've done, it was to try to

339
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,440
Speaker 1: be as productive as you can and to try to

340
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 1: be wheach every team we were playing. So whether that's

341
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 1: conservative not conservative, the same, different, whatever it is, that's

342
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 1: what the intent of all it is. That's what it

343
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:12,200
Speaker 1: always is. So that's not going to change what they'll

344
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 1: be I don't know, but it's whatever we it's a

345
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,919
Speaker 1: combination of what they do, what we do, what we

346
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 1: think we can do. You know, any idea, it can

347
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:21,640
Speaker 1: be a bad idea if you can't execute it. So

348
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 1: if you can execute it, then then it's potentially a

349
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 1: good idea. If you can't do it, then then it's

350
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:32,880
Speaker 1: not going to work. If you physically, your team physically

351
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 1: can't do whatever it is you're trying to do for

352
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:38,920
Speaker 1: whatever reason, then right, not a good idea. So find

353
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 1: something you think you can do, and that's a good

354
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:45,360
Speaker 1: way to attack your opponent, and I it's worth talking

355
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:50,719
Speaker 1: about kind of off there. Okay, all right, thank you,
