1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:03,000
Speaker 1: Several players have just sent over the plastic two months.

2
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:06,480
Speaker 1: Is how much responsibility gave you that before the cell? Yes,

3
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:09,880
Speaker 1: and every one on us same age, and now with

4
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:12,360
Speaker 1: him does that just go to the next center and

5
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 1: you have to say, Jacoby, we need you to do more.

6
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:18,439
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, it's you can't fill those shoes with

7
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:20,320
Speaker 1: one foot, you know, so he's got to help out

8
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:23,320
Speaker 1: at Jacoby. Well, sure Nicks is trained to do it

9
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 1: and ready to go. So I don't feel like I mean,

10
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 1: obviously it's a huge drop as just the person, the

11
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:33,560
Speaker 1: leader everything, with his intelligence experience, that's big shoes to fill.

12
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 1: But we'll have to collectically fill him. Between Nick and Jacoby,

13
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 1: it's kind a circle of wagons for you guys. When

14
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:41,959
Speaker 1: it comes to the offense. How do you look at

15
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 1: what's ahead for Sunday and what you guys have to

16
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 1: do to get on try You know, the thing is

17
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 1: we just have to play better. I think that's the

18
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 1: biggest thing. We have to be better on first and

19
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 1: second down, convert on third down. We didn't convert like

20
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 1: we needed to on third down, and we got to

21
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 1: get in the red zone. You know. Once we get

22
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 1: in the red zone, I feel like, we have some

23
00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 1: good opportunities to score points. So collectively, we all just

24
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 1: have to keep continue to improve. And that's the biggest

25
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 1: message that I have for the team. Let's just get

26
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 1: better each week and then whether it's on a Wednesday practice,

27
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: a Thursday practice, whenever that is, let's never miss the

28
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 1: opportunity to continue to grow and get better. The one

29
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:15,679
Speaker 1: thing I was really impressed with was our play style. Again,

30
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 1: those guys fought to the very end. You know, we're

31
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: down to a couple of scores at the end of

32
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: the game, and there was the same intensity from the

33
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 1: first snap, and those guys are playing the right way.

34
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: We just got to, you know, just play better on

35
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 1: offense right now, what a life when you seem with

36
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 1: a young receiver and just change it touches perfession with

37
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 1: the pass. The game kind of throass the time you

38
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 1: stay positive. I mean, there's it takes all eleven to

39
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: get it done. And that's including the past game and

40
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 1: the run game as well. So we just have to

41
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 1: keep working at it, keep trying to improve, find ways

42
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 1: to be more explosive down the field. You know, through

43
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: the pass game. We're not getting that done right now.

44
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: A lot of factors go into that. Again, it takes

45
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: all eleven to be successful in both phases run and pass,

46
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: tender play prod just this way, How was it to

47
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: get him back on the field, and what is the

48
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 1: guy to do? The past man? The energy, the juice

49
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 1: you felt that immediately practice was different. Uh when he

50
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 1: stepped on the field. Just that that the way that

51
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,959
Speaker 1: he carries himself, the energy that he plays with, that

52
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,119
Speaker 1: that'll be a huge boost for us in the receiver room.

53
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: And his ability to one get open and then run

54
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: with the ball after he catches it or some of

55
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 1: the things that he does extremely well. So really excited

56
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:24,799
Speaker 1: for him. I know he's worked extremely hard to get

57
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 1: back and we're excited to have him back. As tried

58
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 1: over the last peoples as decide getting the ball out,

59
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 1: getting it seemed done. Someday attempts to score both get

60
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 1: come up, but there weren't a lot of yards generally

61
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: have to catch. How do you generate I gotta get

62
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,519
Speaker 1: guys running, keeping him on the move. You know, we

63
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:42,679
Speaker 1: did emphasize getting the ball out of our hand in

64
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: that game the matchups, you know, with Bosa, that was

65
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: a concern of us. I thought we did a good

66
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,079
Speaker 1: job handling him for the most part. You know, he

67
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: had one play at the end of the game where

68
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: he affected the game, but for the most part, I

69
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 1: think he had one quarterback hit on the day in

70
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: one sack. So I think we did structurally, we did

71
00:02:57,760 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: the right things to to make sure we were helping

72
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 1: out with him. But for catching runs, we got to

73
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: hit guys moving and be able to break tackles, and

74
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 1: then we all have to work down the field. Receivers

75
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: have to continue to work to get blocks down the

76
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: field to spring their guys. Alex, we've talked quite a

77
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 1: bit about the toughness subject Covid you mentioned. I think

78
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 1: he's this tough and physically strong to get up. But

79
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 1: if you notice that and maybe this freak was sort

80
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 1: of a passing desorde, a tific point where the constant

81
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 1: contacts has maybe taking his eyes off down the field

82
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: and more towards the colors that are coming out. I've

83
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: not seen that with him, definitely not. He's not a

84
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 1: guy that that worries much about that. You know, he's

85
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 1: gonna stand in there like he did and and deliver.

86
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: So I don't see that in his game right now.

87
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: I mean that. You know, human nature would tell you

88
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 1: to protect yourself in those situations. But you know there're

89
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: throws he made where he stood right up and took

90
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: one on the chin and not even worried about the brush.

91
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: Alex with the drink bak instability up front of the

92
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: Geltin's clients that impact his development player or a time.

93
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: Right now, we're just trying to win games on Sunday,

94
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: So you know I would say no, really, I just

95
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 1: I think that we just got to continue to do

96
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: what's best for the team and get us a position

97
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 1: to win on Sunday. Oh, jam Bager has to have

98
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 1: a much more role on offensive apartment. What have you

99
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: seen him from him behind the scenes? What does his

100
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: negrol for Goon to have more work here? I mean

101
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,600
Speaker 1: extremely talented guy. I mean his ability to play the

102
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 1: ball in the air and and you know, uh his

103
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: ball skills are great. His ability to to win and

104
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:26,119
Speaker 1: separate us there for for Javani's really the details lining

105
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 1: up correctly, running the right routes, earning the trust of

106
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 1: the of the coaching staff and in the quarterback as well.

107
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: But there's a bright future there. He's just he's got

108
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 1: to come on and and tighten down the details. J

109
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 1: We saw Tondrie Jacobs on and left Taco on Sunday.

110
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 1: Just what did you see from him? And how did

111
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: he do failing out there? I was proud of him. Uh,

112
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: you know, fought his butt off, had you know, had

113
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 1: the sombrero on the day of dealing with Bosa for

114
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 1: most part, really fought well, threw his hands really well.

115
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: You know, he's super long. I think that's one of

116
00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: his his qualities that makes him good. When he does

117
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 1: use his hand, he's tough to get around. But uh,

118
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 1: you know, again for a guy that really started his

119
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 1: first game ever including preseason, to go out and and

120
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 1: play against Bosa for the most part of the day,

121
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: I thought he did a really good nice job. What's that? Uh,

122
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 1: you're the guy that has the big hat on, so

123
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 1: you wear the big hat. You got a lot of responsibility.

124
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 1: That's just one of the football terms we use. He

125
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 1: wore the sombrero, he he drew the short stick however

126
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 1: you want to look at it. But you know, he

127
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 1: had a tough duty. Was it just what's your philosophy

128
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,359
Speaker 1: to some pre staff motion and motion had the staff

129
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 1: is I don't think you guys statistically do at a time.

130
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: But I'm just curious. You know, what's what's the motiv Uh?

131
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: We motion with a purpose if there's a reason to

132
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: motion in and out of bunches, you know, moving the

133
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: tight end from side to side. Depending on how the

134
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 1: defense responds to what we do with the motions dictates

135
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: how much we motion is Can you be limited in

136
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:49,840
Speaker 1: terms of how much you might like to use it

137
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 1: based on for example, if you're dealing with movie pieces

138
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: on the offense line, but that in fact from what

139
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: you were willing to use in your shots. Uh, it does?

140
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: You know, it changes the picture often, so when you

141
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,600
Speaker 1: do motion right before the snap, the picture for the

142
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: offensive line can change. So, yes, what did a conversation

143
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,599
Speaker 1: like with the Montree and say, you know, getting both

144
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,600
Speaker 1: side coming through that pretty strongly? Feel like kid's not

145
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,600
Speaker 1: gonna get much more difficult, right than that? Yeah, that

146
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 1: was it really just acknowledged him, you know, in front

147
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 1: of the group on Monday, and you know, there's one

148
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 1: of the things we do in there when instead of clapping,

149
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: everybody knocks and and the whole room knocked it up

150
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,160
Speaker 1: for him. So he should be feeling confident in his

151
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 1: ability right now and just get better as the weeks

152
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,840
Speaker 1: go on. Speak of the install your offense apply, how

153
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: much is that impact if the screen game or channel

154
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:39,840
Speaker 1: the scenes to improve. Yeah, it does. It's tough, you know,

155
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: it's it's we've I think it's'uld be our fifth different

156
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: lineup of of offensive lineman in five games. So getting

157
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: that continuity and every aspect is tough. So the run game,

158
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:52,720
Speaker 1: you know, the past protection pushing out when we need to.

159
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: The screen game definitely. You know, we had a screen

160
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: the remader that wasn't how we would usually do it

161
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: there and that's just getting reps with the new guys in.

162
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 1: So it it does. It makes it difficult, but that's

163
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 1: the challenge is we were facing with Coach. It seems

164
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,039
Speaker 1: like the slip screens haven't been quite as effective as

165
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 1: someone like hide end screens and things. Is there anything

166
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 1: behind that you've noticed? Uh, we had to do better

167
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 1: in execution. Really we had a couple of looks. One

168
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: we didn't get a guy out that should have gotten

169
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 1: out and two games ago and we had a a

170
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 1: missed assignment uh on the one we threw to Pop

171
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 1: in this game. So we have to definitely improve in

172
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 1: that area when we're throwing the bottle in the wide

173
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 1: receiver screens. There were a few guys wanted up on

174
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 1: the HJOR reward yesterday, including Dick and up laying the things.

175
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 1: What denticipate there might be furder Tea is on the

176
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 1: live DA officers. Yeah right now, just waiting to see

177
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 1: who's gonna be available late in the week. You know,

178
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 1: obviously have contingency plans if those guys can't make it,

179
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 1: but you know, we'll see where we go as the

180
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 1: week progresses. What the sound fourth and short plays where

181
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 1: they you're trying to draw him offside. How much of

182
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 1: that is Gerra saying lesson or how much of that

183
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 1: is in a system that can you shed light on

184
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 1: that it hasn't worked, I guess a couple of times. Yeah, well, yeah,

185
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 1: there's different ways of doing it. You know, obviously in

186
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: the in the Cincinnati game, I would say it worked

187
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 1: because we got to the line of scrimmage and we

188
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 1: burned forty seconds off the clock and that was at

189
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 1: the end of that game. So it it does work

190
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 1: in those situations. It's an analytical thing that comes from upstairs.

191
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: You know. Evan does a great job with that, communicating

192
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 1: that h and drives that as it goes. But a

193
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 1: lot of times you know you're gonna take a delay.

194
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: We did have the one in the game the other

195
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 1: day where they did lurch across the line. We're coaching

196
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 1: now to reach out and touch that, so we'll we'll

197
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,559
Speaker 1: continue to improve there. So really, out of those times,

198
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 1: we've done it two times, I would say we had

199
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:40,079
Speaker 1: opportunities for success. We go back to Cincinnati at the

200
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: end of the of a quarter, right before the two minute.

201
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: I believe we used a you know, an operational tool

202
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 1: to try to get them to come off sides, and

203
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 1: we got them off sides right before the two minutes.

204
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 1: So we're doing the right things. You know, we just

205
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,679
Speaker 1: got to execute when those times come. You haven't seen

206
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 1: your photoworkers. Brian Hudson thought at this point, what do

207
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:58,680
Speaker 1: you see from the productice bite? Since, Yeah, I mean,

208
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 1: he's a guy that's that's played center. You know, he

209
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 1: had all the reps yesterday in there with the first group.

210
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 1: You know, he's very capable. It's just another guy you

211
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 1: just could learn the system. He wasn't here for the

212
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 1: OTAs and all of that. So it's just catching him

213
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 1: up to speed. Alex, And you recall in four games

214
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,560
Speaker 1: situation you've had to deal with with the offensive line

215
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 1: so far. Yeah, yeah, Buffalo in two thousand and nine.

216
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:23,959
Speaker 1: I think in a sixteen game that I want to say,

217
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 1: with twelve or thirteen different starting offensive lineups. That's part

218
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,319
Speaker 1: of the deal in the NFL. You know, there's always

219
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 1: the injuries. You know, again, you would love to see

220
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:34,959
Speaker 1: those guys all five play together for extended period of

221
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,680
Speaker 1: time for the continuity, but you know in the NFL world,

222
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 1: that's not real. Okay, thanks guys,
