1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:02,640 Speaker 1: Given a success you had last week, have you considered 2 00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:07,000 Speaker 1: putting the entire game planning on Saturday morning? Hey, I 3 00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:08,960 Speaker 1: know a lot of being made of that. But I 4 00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:11,719 Speaker 1: mean every coach in America does that stuff. You just 5 00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:14,720 Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's it's a really a tribute to 6 00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:17,759 Speaker 1: the players um being able to handle stuff. You know, 7 00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:20,160 Speaker 1: as it goes, we keep grinding in and just you know, 8 00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:23,599 Speaker 1: again open lines of communication between the coaches and the 9 00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:26,640 Speaker 1: players and you know, just trying to fight and claude 10 00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:29,280 Speaker 1: to try to get things right. And you know, hopefully 11 00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:31,560 Speaker 1: this week, you know it serves us, you know, cementum. 12 00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,320 Speaker 1: But again each week so different. You know, we're playing Philadelphia. 13 00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:36,800 Speaker 1: You know, we struggled in the too minute against those 14 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:38,720 Speaker 1: guys last time. We got, you know, come up with 15 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,800 Speaker 1: some stops, because it's gonna come down to that. I mean, 16 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,440 Speaker 1: it comes down to the red area, red area, two minute, 17 00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,040 Speaker 1: third down. That's what it wins games in this league. 18 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,839 Speaker 1: So you know, hopefully, you know, we taste the success 19 00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,840 Speaker 1: last week and you know, hopefully it it pays off 20 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:59,080 Speaker 1: and then we just keep building on it. For right now, Okay, 21 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:00,480 Speaker 1: I was gonna say, if you're say a genius you 22 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:01,920 Speaker 1: would have thought of the record on Tuesday, so you 23 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 1: could have actually practiced last week, right exactly? Genius is 24 00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,559 Speaker 1: I think I'm the opposite of genius. There's one true 25 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:10,760 Speaker 1: genius I know. I mean that's you know, I'm a 26 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,600 Speaker 1: big Einstein fans, so like that's a genius to me. 27 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 1: And how much of the difference has it been this 28 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 1: year to play so much zone? I know your guy 29 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:22,960 Speaker 1: really comes from a man background, and I think you 30 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:24,480 Speaker 1: put a lot of that in Miami. How much of 31 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,960 Speaker 1: it change has that been for you? You know? Over 32 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 1: my career you know, again I haven't been the coordinator 33 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,760 Speaker 1: role that long, but you know, over my career, you know, 34 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,960 Speaker 1: being a position coach, um, there's been years will be 35 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,920 Speaker 1: fluctuated between man and zone and had higher numbers of zone. 36 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 1: I think back to maybe two thousand and ten, two 37 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,679 Speaker 1: thousand eleven, we were a big cover two team. UM. 38 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:45,679 Speaker 1: Then you know, then we went to cover one covers 39 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 1: you know, a man stuff um later on in a 40 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 1: few years there, but you know we fluctuated, We fluctuated again. 41 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 1: The main thing I can tell you about the system 42 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 1: in terms of what we're trying to accomplish. We're gonna 43 00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 1: do us best for the players and what we think 44 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 1: is best for that game game. I mean, so again, 45 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 1: if it calls for man, you know, some games we're 46 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 1: going to play more man, and you know, and then 47 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 1: you know, we gotta hold up and do we got 48 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,799 Speaker 1: and when when when our leverage? Um, contest the balls, 49 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 1: and then we gotta get some rush. And then if 50 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:14,360 Speaker 1: we play zone, you know, obviously we gotta get our 51 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 1: eyes on the quarterback, good breaks, you know, punish underneath throws, 52 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 1: defending deep part of the field. So whatever we think 53 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 1: it's gonna be best for the game, that's how we're 54 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:24,800 Speaker 1: gonna play it. But you know, it's fluctuated over the years, 55 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 1: more so than you would think if you were to 56 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:32,800 Speaker 1: look at the numbers. Can you hear me? Yes, sir? 57 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,680 Speaker 1: All right, great, there's a pretty poignant moment at the 58 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,239 Speaker 1: end of that last Eagles game where you were sitting 59 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 1: alone on the bench with your head kind of buried 60 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 1: between your lap. Can you just tell us what you 61 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 1: were thinking there? Um? Again, just you know, each game 62 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 1: is so different. But I'm I'm I consider myself a 63 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,919 Speaker 1: teacher first and foremost so like I happen to teach football, 64 00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 1: and I think just like any teacher, you know, like 65 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,080 Speaker 1: you try to put you you know, a teacher, like 66 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 1: whether you're kindergarten teacher or a professor, you're trying to, 67 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 1: you know, do your best jobs. So these guys your kids, 68 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,239 Speaker 1: not your kids, but your students can learn and you 69 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,079 Speaker 1: want to see them have success. So to see them 70 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 1: fight so hard to get up that lead, and then 71 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 1: you know, usually what happens is, you know, as a coach, 72 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:19,360 Speaker 1: I mean obviously didn't do the right call. I didn't. 73 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 1: I didn't get the right calls in there. I didn't. 74 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 1: I I failed them, and like honestly, if I'm being 75 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 1: honest with you, I mean I was just disappointed and 76 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 1: letting them down personally, that's just that's just me. That's 77 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 1: just me. That's in that moment of honesty, that's where 78 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:33,360 Speaker 1: I was at, and I'm like, we have to figure 79 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 1: this out. So for me right there, you know, it 80 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 1: was more like you know, a teacher or you know, 81 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 1: I'm look at these guys, I'm a teacher. As a coach, 82 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 1: I just felt bad that I let him down, and 83 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 1: I got and had to figure out a way to 84 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 1: make sure that they could taste success and get the 85 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 1: reward of all their hard work because they're working, they're 86 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 1: working really hard for Joe. I mean, I was you know, 87 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 1: I felt I just felt bad. But you know, like 88 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 1: they're working hard for Joe and they're working hard for 89 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 1: the for all of us, and we get come away 90 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 1: with the win. But again, beauty of this and the 91 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 1: division opponents, you get to play him twice. Um, we 92 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 1: got him this week. Not that the last game has 93 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 1: anything to do with um this week, but we got 94 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 1: another shot at him, and you know, looking forward to 95 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 1: the opportunity to go out there and compete against them 96 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,919 Speaker 1: and hopefully we do enough to put ourselves in that 97 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:23,360 Speaker 1: position again have a chance to win the game. Good morning, coach, 98 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 1: how we Good morning? UM? I'm just wondering. The Equals 99 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,800 Speaker 1: look a little bit different than they did the first 100 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,479 Speaker 1: time you sell them earlier. What kind of challenges do 101 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,039 Speaker 1: the guys that are coming back homes. I mean, you 102 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 1: got her Sanders. These are guys they didn't have last time. 103 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 1: I think they're getting back some offensive lineman. So how 104 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,679 Speaker 1: much different are they and that's that kind of change 105 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 1: with how you attack them? Well, you you gotta look 106 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 1: at Philadelphia over the years, this these guys they get 107 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,040 Speaker 1: hit with injuries and then they whoever they put out 108 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 1: their their pre resilient. And when the guys come back, 109 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,480 Speaker 1: they have a high skill level. So you're telling about Sanders, 110 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 1: got it. I mean, these are people with high skill 111 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 1: level throughout this league. So obviously some of your focus 112 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 1: has to go to them. And then on top of that, 113 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 1: you have the emergence of the receivers, the quarterbacks. Who's dying, 114 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 1: who is dynamics? So now as a defensive coach, you're 115 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 1: looking at all those weapons and you have to you 116 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 1: have to, you know, take a little bit of attention there, 117 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 1: a little bit of a tension there, and so now 118 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 1: your attention is getting spread out for all these players 119 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,360 Speaker 1: on top of the offensive line who can block. So 120 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 1: it makes it more difficult, there's no question, There's no question. 121 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,159 Speaker 1: But you know that's why we you know, that's why 122 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,240 Speaker 1: we we like the competition of it. That's why we 123 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 1: stay up late trying to figure out stuff. And you know, 124 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 1: we're you know, we're working on third down today and 125 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,600 Speaker 1: you know, the red area and two minute and all 126 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 1: that stuff like that, and we gotta figure it out. 127 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,040 Speaker 1: We gotta figure it out. I mean they're I mean 128 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 1: they're happy that they got there, got all their guys back, 129 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 1: and you know they're they're ready, they'll be ready to go, 130 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 1: so we gotta figure out how to stop them. So 131 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 1: no problem, Hey, Pat, I just wanted to ask you 132 00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:02,280 Speaker 1: about Jabro and Logan together and just how there's not 133 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,280 Speaker 1: necessarily their skill sets, but how they've messed together. How 134 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 1: does that help you disguise things on the back end 135 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 1: with what you want to do? Both free to post snap. 136 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,160 Speaker 1: I think any time when you're dealing with guys, and 137 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,040 Speaker 1: again you have to ask them, but to me, they 138 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 1: seem like they really like being around each other. And 139 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 1: you know, and again I mean you have to ask 140 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 1: Pep himself, but like I would you know if I'm 141 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:25,920 Speaker 1: a young dB in this league. I mean, like, and 142 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 1: you're dealing with um Logan who's been in this league 143 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 1: and has a lot of experience and been successful. I mean, 144 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 1: it's a wealth of knowledge you could get from him. 145 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 1: So I mean, like you see that and that that helps, 146 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 1: you know, that definitely helps. Now in terms of being 147 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,280 Speaker 1: on the field, I mean, any time the parts are 148 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 1: a little bit, the more interchangeable they are, the more 149 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 1: you can disguise it. You know, the more interchangeable are 150 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 1: the more you can disguise it. So for me, as 151 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,280 Speaker 1: they're grown with one another and understand that, Okay, I 152 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,479 Speaker 1: could do your job, you could do my job, and 153 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:56,680 Speaker 1: then now you start to play that game within the game, 154 00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 1: that's always a good thing. Um. Again, you want to 155 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,360 Speaker 1: put some harm's way because like, Okay, what I can 156 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 1: do and what you can do is different. So like 157 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 1: if I'm the post safety, I'm gonna have to play 158 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 1: the post safeties. But I mean I like the fact 159 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 1: that they able to work with one another and be 160 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 1: as interchangeable as possible as we keep growing this thing 161 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 1: as we work through the season. Paper has it going. Man, 162 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 1: good good good good. Um. You know you talk earlier 163 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 1: about kind of you know, you felt like you guys 164 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 1: let Joe Judge down in that Eagle game and kind 165 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 1: of let them off the hook. I was speaking for myself. 166 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 1: I spoke for myself. What I'm saying the evolution of 167 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 1: your defense as a whole to slam the door on 168 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 1: Washington twice last week and close them out twice. What 169 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 1: did that speak to the evolution of you guys as 170 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 1: a group to be able to pull that off. Again, 171 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 1: it all comes back to the players. I mean, when 172 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 1: when we have successes, the players is them, you know, 173 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 1: and usually if it's we're not successful, is because something 174 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 1: I could do better. Um, So the success is because 175 00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 1: of the players. Guys made plays in big moments and 176 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 1: then and none of that matches this week, but you 177 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,600 Speaker 1: hope it builds some momentum for the you know, against 178 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 1: the as you start going through the season. So again 179 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:10,040 Speaker 1: you know that you think about the guys who made 180 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 1: the plays, you know, Pep, Blake, Logan. Those are guys 181 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 1: we rely upon to do their job and do it 182 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 1: at a high level, you know, to do it at 183 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 1: a high level. And that's that's the positive there. They 184 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 1: were able to do it at a high level when 185 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 1: it counted and closed the game out for us. But again, 186 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 1: like as we think about the Eagles now and all 187 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 1: the weapons they have, they have a great challenge in 188 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 1: front of them, We as coaches have a great challenge 189 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:35,960 Speaker 1: in front of us, and we've gotta figure that out 190 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:41,120 Speaker 1: for this week. Yep, we got time for one more, 191 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 1: Pat Leonard, Hey, Pat, I jumped on later. Sorry if 192 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:48,040 Speaker 1: you were asking, it's already, But do you guys as 193 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 1: a defense and as a well you can you can 194 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,319 Speaker 1: speak to the defense, do you need a result this 195 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:56,199 Speaker 1: week of victory like winning your battle against the Eagles 196 00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:00,120 Speaker 1: in a big division game like this to validate a 197 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 1: lot of the success and improvement that you guys have 198 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 1: obviously made as a unit. Well, the this is a 199 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 1: production league, and the point that every week is to 200 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,679 Speaker 1: win the game. But I would say, as of right 201 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 1: now on Thursday, and how we go about it and 202 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,679 Speaker 1: how we attack each day, we're trying to win today. 203 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 1: So in terms of validation, I want to I want 204 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 1: to win today. I want to go out there at 205 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,960 Speaker 1: practice today and win our preparation on third down and 206 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,920 Speaker 1: win our preparation on two minutes and get better at 207 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:33,439 Speaker 1: tackling and practice today and then keep building towards um Sunday. 208 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,160 Speaker 1: So in terms of a validation point for the game 209 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 1: to win, I mean we need wins. That's what we 210 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 1: do this for. I mean, you know, like if you're 211 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,839 Speaker 1: hungry for something as a football player, as a competitor, 212 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 1: a competitor as a coach, like you're hungry for wins. 213 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 1: So yeah, when I say hungry, I like when I 214 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:50,960 Speaker 1: talked to the guys like a true hunger, like I 215 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 1: need I need to eat. That's what. Yeah, I want 216 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,320 Speaker 1: to win, but but again, we're gonna do what we 217 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 1: gotta do today to win today, and then hopefully if 218 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:01,680 Speaker 1: we keep stack in the days, we put ourselves in 219 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 1: a position on Sunday, if we come out and perform 220 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,439 Speaker 1: to put ourselves in a position that possibly way, but 221 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:09,560 Speaker 1: who knows how it's gonna go.
