1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:01,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, as I say, I mean, if there are more

2
00:00:01,639 --> 00:00:04,200
Speaker 1: people come, I just want to say, like, I'm not

3
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:07,080
Speaker 1: gonna really comment about Torell right now. I'll respect for

4
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 1: him and his family, but uh, just you know our

5
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:13,640
Speaker 1: prayers with him and his family, and you know he

6
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:16,439
Speaker 1: means the world to me, and uh, you know, I

7
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 1: challenge anybody to find a better man, better dad.

8
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 2: Better coach, better friend, better mentor than anybody.

9
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 1: So I'll respect him, not gonna really come on him,

10
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 1: but I'm always thinking about him and what he means

11
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 1: to this team and.

12
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 3: What I guess, what does this mean for you now?

13
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 3: Just this week he's not here.

14
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:37,280
Speaker 1: I mean, nothing really different. You know, I'm still just

15
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:39,839
Speaker 1: the inside linebackers coach, and I'm getting the backers right

16
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 1: for Miami. You know, all the guys are any any

17
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 1: thing we got to step up, we can step up.

18
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:49,520
Speaker 1: But everything's pretty status quo right now.

19
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:49,840
Speaker 3: Yeah.

20
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,479
Speaker 1: So in the spring when he wasn't here, you're doing

21
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 1: a little bit more in practice, I think, and then

22
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 1: going back to talk to him on ZOOM.

23
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 4: I didn't know if like the practice is now.

24
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 5: Your role would be sort of similar to what it

25
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 5: was in the spring when he wasn't around.

26
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 3: That question.

27
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 1: I mean kind of like I said, it's it's about

28
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 1: the same as it's.

29
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:11,680
Speaker 2: Been all all training camp.

30
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 3: On the first few weeks of the season, Mike.

31
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 6: Said he was gonna talk to you and kind of

32
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 6: figure out who was gonna call plays on Sunday potentially

33
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 6: if Terrell's not available. Have you had those conversations yet

34
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 6: and if so.

35
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 3: How was that gone.

36
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, any conversation with me and Raves only keep

37
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 2: between me and Raves.

38
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: But he's gonna find it told. He's gonna let you

39
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: guys know. Friday got it.

40
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:38,960
Speaker 2: I guess how comfortable do you feel at this point

41
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 2: in your career? You know in this defense obviously spent a.

42
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 4: Lot of time with Mike and Tennessee and you're you know,

43
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 4: you're in New York last year.

44
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 3: How much growth have you felt.

45
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 2: For this office a coach?

46
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot and uh, you know, like three people

47
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: that come to mind, just like what I mentioned about

48
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: Terrell earlier, is t.

49
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 2: Rabes and uh Shane Bowen.

50
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 1: You know, those three guys huge influence on me and

51
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: my growth, especially on the defensive side.

52
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 4: Of the ball.

53
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 2: I can't thank them enough.

54
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 1: I don't take any morning I wake up and get

55
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 1: to work with Tea and Braves like for granted, uh

56
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: and I feel like I've had, you know, pretty good

57
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: development under those three. I think they've helped me a

58
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: lot and understanding the game, especially at this level and

59
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: on the side of the ball.

60
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,679
Speaker 7: What's it like being an inside linebackers coach before and

61
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 7: knowing that he played the linebacker position that's kind of

62
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 7: his area.

63
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 2: That's a great question. He's on it at all times.

64
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 1: Uh, you got you gotta be on your toes and

65
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: you gotta be ready.

66
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 3: You gotta be able.

67
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 1: To explain it all the times, because yeah, he can

68
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: see a play for a fraction of a second and

69
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: know exactly what happened.

70
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 3: You know, it's pretty wild how much he can see

71
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 3: at once.

72
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: So, uh, yeah, you gotta be on your stuff with

73
00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 1: him because that's I would say. I mean, he loves

74
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: all the positions because he's got his He coaches.

75
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 3: All three phases.

76
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: But you're right, he's played the position, so it means

77
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 1: a little something to him.

78
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 6: Just with Miami, how challenging is their run play action

79
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,959
Speaker 6: pass game for linebackers in particular, it feels like there's

80
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,119
Speaker 6: a lot of window dressing and not candy there and

81
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 6: how does that you know, kind of one of the

82
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 6: coaching points.

83
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: And yeah, I mean they do a good job of

84
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: designing plays off of each other, and he does a

85
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: good job the whole tree, the whole branch of like

86
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 1: you said, some window dressing, uh, trying to buy some

87
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: bad eyes by defenders and trying to make you sound

88
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 1: while using all the athleticism they have to kind of

89
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: get you out of place and run by.

90
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 6: It when they know your zone dropping right and they

91
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:51,119
Speaker 6: have those those speed at receiver crossing you know over

92
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 6: the field. Just what, how do you kind of coach

93
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 6: the linebackers there too to be able to keep up

94
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 6: with you know, Hill and Wattle kind of come into

95
00:03:59,320 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 6: their zones.

96
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 2: I mean they're they're a challenge.

97
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 1: I know this is one of the fastest teams in

98
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 1: the league, but like we say, across the team, it

99
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 1: all depends on the the details, the technique and the

100
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: fundamentals with each call and how that affects you and

101
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 1: your coverage in that situation.

102
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 8: Sorry coming late, our Mike died, but just starting over

103
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 8: if you online, there's just what how was the team responded?

104
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 3: Just the situation where coach Williams this weekend.

105
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I know you guys just got in here,

106
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: but I'm not really gonna comment on on Tea. I

107
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: respect him and his family, But like I said, we're

108
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: going as is. I mean everybody's status quo, we're rolling.

109
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I wouldn't say anything's much different at all.

110
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 5: Have you figured out logistics just in terms of play

111
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 5: calling and how that's.

112
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 9: Going to have.

113
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: Like, like I said earlier, I'm sorry, Rapes, Rapes is

114
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: gonna let you guys know to morow about all that.

115
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 3: Okay, I saw you out there practice today.

116
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 8: It looked like you were running some sort of a

117
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 8: playoffs kind of drill, like you were the quarterback.

118
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,599
Speaker 3: You were out there moving around pretty and I was

119
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 3: not moving around good. I would say that, No, I

120
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 3: disagree with that. Every step hurts. Considering all the coaches

121
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 3: you mentioned that have helped you.

122
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 10: When if there comes a times that you do need

123
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 10: to step up.

124
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:13,239
Speaker 3: How prepared you feel.

125
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's everybody on staff.

126
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: I think I think everybody comes into work every day

127
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 1: that if anybody ever needs extra help, we're all ready

128
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 1: to do that.

129
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 3: Yeah.

130
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 1: I don't think it's you know, me specifically being ready

131
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: for that. I think everybody on the staff. Rapes does

132
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 1: a good job of hiring good people. And the one

133
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: thing I love about him, just as a head coach

134
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 1: or even as a person, is really his mindset is

135
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: every day like, Okay, how can I help? How can

136
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 1: I make somebody better? How can I help this situation?

137
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: How can I help you? You know, it's all about

138
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: working together and helping wherever we need to help and

139
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 1: reach a common goal.

140
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 8: The way you did step in over the spring and summer,

141
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:51,679
Speaker 8: it was just how did that kind of help prepare

142
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,720
Speaker 8: you for whatever is called upon for him?

143
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 3: Moving board?

144
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 2: Yeah?

145
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:57,280
Speaker 1: And again like I don't know what's going to be

146
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 1: called upon righting like that, but I don't again. Uh,

147
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: you know, when you got guys on our unit, guys

148
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 1: like you know, Splain, guys like Marcus Jones, herold Langer,

149
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 1: like those three captains, like coming to works pretty easy,

150
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:20,919
Speaker 1: and everything's a collaborative, you know, uh, operation with the

151
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:25,160
Speaker 1: players and the coaches and and you know, being aligned.

152
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,599
Speaker 1: And I don't think anything can ever really change that.

153
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 3: How does Miami Speed make them unique?

154
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:31,279
Speaker 2: Yeah?

155
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's one of the fastest teams in

156
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 1: the league, and you gotta respect Speed and also try

157
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: to play a physical game. It definitely can put binds

158
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:44,679
Speaker 1: on you in certain situations. But like I said earlier,

159
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 1: as long as we you know, really master our details,

160
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,279
Speaker 1: techniques and fundamentals and we should be in a good spot.

161
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 8: You're an offensive coordinator in college, not saying you're gonna

162

Speaker 3: Yeah?

166
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I you know, different levels, different sides of

167
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 1: the ball, but you know, you're in front of a

168
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: whole group of guys delivering a message.

169
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 2: So that wasn't new to me.

170
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,520

Speaker 3: Good this uh my ammy.

173
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 10: Offense obviously stump a little bit in week one, but

174
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 10: just kind of knowing how unique some of the stuff

175
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 10: they do is how much do you go and look

178
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 10: studying offense versus maybe just week one?

179
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 9: Yeah, big time right now, because you got to go

182
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,239
Speaker 9: that time of offense and the forty nine ers offense.

183
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 4: You know, it's pretty they do what they do. You know,

184
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 4: they want to run the ball and get stuffs out

185
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 4: their play action. But yeah, you want to go back.

Speaker 11: With Drell Williams, possibly be you know, the stuff might

191
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 11: get delegated, you know, down the line. Then he's a

192
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 11: bad staff. What does he mean to you guys? And

193
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:26,120

Speaker 9: stuff like that, little.

209
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 4: Things that he might catch that we can't see down

210
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 4: on the field. Good question.

211
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 5: After getting a chance to watch the tape, what did

212
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:11,959
Speaker 5: you see from Harold Lander in week one?

213
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:12,680
Speaker 3: Yeah?

214
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 9: Things I saw a training camp.

215
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 4: You know, he's got exposed to get off.

216
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 9: He was mixing in his power, making these guys set him, uh,

217
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 9: set them normal, and just how aggressive he plays. He's

218
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 9: a smart guy. He knows how to rush, he knows

219
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 9: how to set him up. You know, he's he's a

220
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 9: student of the game man, he studies. We talk about

221
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 9: it all week what the game plan is. But he

222
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 9: executed what what Harold does and I just loved how

223
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 9: he mixed up some things and just keep those tackles honest.

224
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 3: You say, a student at the game.

225
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:41,679
Speaker 10: You know, how do you see that show up in

226
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 10: the meeting room with him?

227
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 7: Uh?

228
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 9: You know days like today, you know, we go over

229
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 9: past rush and we go over the tackles and the

230
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 9: offensive line, and we all get together.

231
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 4: And ask him, Hey, how do you see you know who.

232
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,839
Speaker 9: We're playing this week, and he reads off his report

233
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 9: and in his detailed you know, he's a smart kid.

234
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 4: You can tell he puts the time in.

235
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 9: So as a coach, you can tell with the guys

236
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 9: that don't put the time in, you know, and and

237
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 9: watching that's how we build our plan. All right, let's

238
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,679
Speaker 9: get on the board, let's all get on the same page.

239
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 9: You know, there's a lot to it. There's protections, there's chips,

240
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 9: there's thumps, there's gonna be a lot different things that

241
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 9: go with that. But he's having that plan. But he

242
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 9: just he's always organized. You know, he hit me last night,

243
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 9: like at ten o'clock about something, you know, about this move,

244
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 9: about that move. And so that's why guys like him

245
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:31,079
Speaker 9: had some success.

246
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 10: For him to be named a captain. You know that

247
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,199
Speaker 10: kind of approach. Is that something that goes behind him.

248
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 10: Is that's something you've noticed he's maybe instructing other players,

249
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 10: suggesting other players to do, hey, like you know twenty

250
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 10: four to seven kind.

251
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, think about Harold. He might be the most

252
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 9: bulky guy, but it's the way that he works, in

253
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 9: the way that he prepares, right, He's he's always full

254
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 9: going practice.

255
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 3: He's always, you.

256
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 2: Know, doing the right thing all that time stuff.

257
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 4: He might be the vulcal leader, but that's okay. He's

258
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 4: gonna do it by the way he plays.

259
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 10: You've talked in other coaches have talked a lot about

260
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 10: playing the violence on defense. Is that something tib.

261
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 3: Douinitely practice all the time.

262
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 10: I know, you guys are trying to take care of

263
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 10: each other out there. You don't want to players getting hurt.

264
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 10: But is he somebody would say, sets the tone in

265
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 10: that regard.

266
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 9: He does, you know, when it is time to go

267
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 9: and roll and rapes braves like, hey, this is this period,

268
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 9: I wants to go and hit and run. Uh, he

269
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:18,839
Speaker 9: brings it. You know, there's never a time you tell

270
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 9: Errol they slow down. It is not even in the

271
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:23,680
Speaker 9: pre practice that I'm watching them and he's doing full sprints,

272
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 9: that little thing around his back wherever he's pulling and

273
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 9: doing all that stuff. I mean, he's always he's always going.

274
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 4: And it makes it easier as a coach when you

275
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 4: have a guy like that in the room.

276
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 5: You know that you don't have you have you know

277
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 5: these guys that that one of your leaders, that that's

278
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 5: not always going, you know, and so you just lead

279
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 5: by example of him.

280
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 7: You appreciate that those guys remember so, you know, I

281
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 7: told him before the game kicks off, just look up

282
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:52,200
Speaker 7: there and appreciate the moment. You know, he's one of

283
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 7: you know, a very small percentage that's able to go

284
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 7: out there and play as a rookie, start all that

285
00:11:56,520 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 7: type stuff, So appreciate the moment. He definitely, uh played

286
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 7: with some good poise. Liked what I saw out there.

287
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 7: Obviously there are some things he can improve, but was

288
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 7: happy with his opening game and look forward to improvement.

289
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 3: You know, that's what we're looking for.

290
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,559
Speaker 7: We're looking for a better game in Miami, better game

291
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:15,319
Speaker 7: the next game, and so on and so forth.

292
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 10: Actually, one more we hear so much like a week

293
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 10: leading up, we don't know what the other team's going

294
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 10: to do.

295
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 3: How much do as a coach know what your team's

296
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:21,680
Speaker 3: going to do?

297
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 10: And is it you know, a little bit of an

298
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:25,439
Speaker 10: unknown factor for you as a coach with no not

299
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:27,079
Speaker 10: just your group but generalist.

300
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 7: Speaking, Yeah, so, you know, I think we try to

301
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 7: do everything we can to prepare the guys and to

302
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 7: feel like they are ready for the moment, but you

303
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 7: never know until it's out there, right until the boss

304
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 7: kick until they're out there in front of seventy thousand fans,

305
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 7: how they're going to react. We try and put them

306
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 7: in situations, especially my position, the safeties, the dbs, We

307
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,680
Speaker 7: try and put them into adverse situations in the practice

308
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,199
Speaker 7: field so they can feel that. But again, you never

309
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 7: know how guy's going to react. This is a new

310
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 7: group for us. Obviously I'm new to them, they're new

311
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,320
Speaker 7: to me, and so I was pleased with how they

312
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 7: came to the sideline. We talked, we got information, they

313
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 7: were able to take information, they are to take adjustments,

314
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 7: all that type stuff. So definitely pleased with the way

315
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 7: we handled some of the things that happened and continue

316
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 7: to look forward to improving.

317
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 3: I think, like news wise with Terrell, and you're like,

318
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 3: you guys are close from the time together.

319
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:21,680
Speaker 10: So I think one thing we're all curious about is

320
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:24,320
Speaker 10: how are you all sort of rallying together and what

321
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 10: are your thoughts on.

322
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 3: How you move forward?

323
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 7: And appreciate that known Terrell for over twenty years, so

324
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 7: very close friend of mine, not just football wise, but

325
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:38,319
Speaker 7: we're just talking about family and so again with all

326
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 7: that being said, just as a group, we are all

327
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 7: a collective defense. You know, that's one thing that Terrell

328
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 7: implemented day one in February that this is a collective thing.

329
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 3: So that's how we're going forward.

330
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:55,559
Speaker 7: We're collectively doing the game plan, We're collectively going through

331
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,959
Speaker 7: our areas of expertise, and we're going to just continue

332
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 7: to go on forward and have game plan that we

333
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 7: feel likes the best to beat the beat the Miami Dolphins.

334
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 8: This might sound silly, I think Jalen Hawkins, actually one

335
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 8: of your guys today in the locker room, said they

336
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:11,200
Speaker 8: want to do it for Terrell.

337
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 2: I don't know, but.

338
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 10: As fellow coaches to share sort of a similar mindset,

339
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 10: like you'd like to come together and make up.

340
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 3: I don't want to say make them proud, but yeah,

341
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 3: like that's his baby.

342
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 2: In a way.

343
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 5: Yeah.

344
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 7: No, definitely, there's always that human element of wanting to

345
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 7: do well for someone that you've had a long time relationship.

346
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 3: I'm speaking for myself, but at the.

347
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 7: Same time, just me personally, the win one for the

348
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 7: gipper and all that type stuff that really goes away

349
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 7: on that first kickoff, for the first time you get

350
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 7: hit or the first time some adversity hits, so you know,

351
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 7: it's not so much win one for Terrell for the Gipper,

352
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 7: but we want to get this win, you know. We

353
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 7: we want to make sure that we go out there

354
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 7: and we play a great team defense, We swarm, we

355
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 7: play violent, we take the ball away, and that's.

356
00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 3: What we want to do.

357
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 12: How import and is it or have you discovered last

358
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 12: week you surrendered nine plays of twenty plus year old Yes.

359
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 12: Do you think you've kind of ferreted out why that

360
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 12: happened and not to.

361
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 6: Have it happen again.

362
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 7: Yeah, definitely, you don't want to do that. You're not

363
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 7: gonna win a lot of games giving up nine X

364
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 7: plays in the game.

365
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 3: And so, you know the.

366
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 7: Thing, when you look back at those situations, they came

367
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 7: on some different coverages, you know, one time in man,

368
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 7: one time maybe in his zone, all that type stuff.

369
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 7: So it wasn't like there was one specific thing. It

370
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 7: was more of a culmination of us just maybe one

371
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 7: guy not doing his job or maybe one guy out

372
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 7: of place. And so what we try to do this

373
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 7: week is tighten it up, make sure that as coaching staff,

374
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 7: all right, we were clear on hey, this is what

375
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 7: we want to do, and feel like the guys responded

376
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 7: well we watched the.

377
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 3: Tape on Monday.

378
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 7: The guys were good about not only taking the coaching

379
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 7: but also talking about, hey, this is what I saw,

380
00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 7: you know, because again they're out there playing, so now

381
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 7: with that information, with what they saw, we're in there

382
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 7: making a game plan so that they can use what

383
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 7: they see and make sure that we're just covering our

384
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 7: bases and covering our guys and doing the things the

385
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 7: areas that we need to do. So I feel like after, yes,

386
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 7: after Monday's film session and stuff like that, we were

387
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 7: able to do some good things there and you know,

388
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 7: preparation wise, all that type of stuff.

389
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 3: Feel like we're on track to do better in that area.

390
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 13: Guessing you also watched the Dolphins and Indie game.

391
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 3: Yep, that's one of the games were watching.

392
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 13: Yeah, and Indy had some luck containing to or taking

393
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 13: away his reads or doing certain things. I don't want

394
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 13: to say they provided a blueprint, but are you conscious

395
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 13: of some of the things that work really well against

396
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 13: Miami and that game?

397
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely.

398
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 7: I Mean you always look at not only the opponent's

399
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 7: last game, but you look at a history of their

400
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 7: games and to see what works against them and what doesn't.

401
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 3: You know, and use the word luck.

402
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 7: All good, you know, I think taking the ball away

403
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:04,879
Speaker 7: is not lucky, you know what I mean, That's something

404
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:06,440
Speaker 7: that you do and you practice and all that type

405
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:08,160
Speaker 7: of stuff. So they were able to, I believe, take

406
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 7: the ball away three times and limited their possessions and

407
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,400
Speaker 7: all that type of left play complimentary football. So that's

408
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,399
Speaker 7: definitely a blueprint that we'd like, take the ball away,

409
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:19,639
Speaker 7: be able to get over our offense, the ball in

410
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 7: great field position, and you know, be great on third down,

411
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:26,399
Speaker 7: you know, limit their possessions. So if that blueprint is

412
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 7: what you're talking about, then yeah, sign me up. But

413
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 7: I think you know, more importantly, it's just you know,

414
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:35,440
Speaker 7: watching what happened to them, but also focusing on us

415
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 7: right and making sure that you know our group what

416
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 7: we're doing, we're getting sound technique fundamentals, and that we're sound.

417
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 8: When you guys blitzed as much as you did a

418
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:50,159
Speaker 8: week long, things like aggressive, how does that affect you

419
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 8: your guys rules on the back end?

420
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, so you know it's one of those things

421
00:17:55,320 --> 00:18:00,119
Speaker 7: that whenever you do blitz, we obviously are are in

422
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 7: a situation as dbs where sometimes we're one on one,

423
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 7: right and so we know that we understand that, and

424
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 7: so we have to adjust accordingly, right, And so we

425
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 7: want to make sure that we're putting the pressure on

426
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:16,439
Speaker 7: the offense, and that's who we are. And so in

427
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 7: that in that situation, if we're in one on one situations,

428
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:21,640
Speaker 7: we're going to want to win our one on one

429
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 7: battles more than we lose. And obviously if we lose

430
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 7: our one on one battle, we want to get out

431
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:29,160
Speaker 7: there and win the next one, you know, I mean,

432
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 7: we're not going to shrink from the moment, right, So

433
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:33,919
Speaker 7: that answers your question.

434
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 10: Offense, how do you disrupt the timing of it?

435
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 9: And just from your safety perspective, Colt Skuy's talking about

436
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:40,640
Speaker 9: taking away his first read, trying to make.

437
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:41,919
Speaker 2: Them read through the coverage a little bit.

438
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 5: But what are the keys to sloan this guy down?

439
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, accurate quarterback does a great job of

440
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 7: distributing the ball within their system. And so, you know,

441
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 7: our situation is that we want to make sure that

442
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:57,120
Speaker 7: we do a good job of getting bodies on people right,

443
00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 7: and sometimes that's man covered, sometimes the zone cover, but.

444
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 3: We don't want to allow them to have space. Right.

445
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 7: When you have space, that gives windows for the throws,

446
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 7: and that gives opportunities for run after catch. So we

447
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 7: want to eliminate the space. And so that's what we're

448
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 7: trying to do.

449
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:18,679
Speaker 3: What do you feel good as a proud Kent State

450
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, oh yeah, let's go coach Piece?

451
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:22,360
Speaker 5: Yeah?

452
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 3: How tight?

453
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:25,400
Speaker 2: Like how often you're communicating with him?

454
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 3: And how much is that why you're here? Not here

455
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 3: non coaching?

456
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 7: So in nineteen ninety nine he came to my house

457
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:37,399
Speaker 7: and offered me a scholarship with Kent State, and I

458
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:39,880
Speaker 7: played for him four straight years, and then in two

459
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 7: thousand and two he offered me my first graduate assistant

460
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 7: job at Kent State Mama Mater, and then in two

461
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 7: thousand and eighteen he was a defensive coordinator with Mike Rabel.

462
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 7: Mike Rabel didn't know me, DNPS did. I was in

463
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 7: Nebraska at the time, and I became the assistant dB coach.

464
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,199
Speaker 7: So I owe a lot to coach Piece. All that

465
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:00,640
Speaker 7: football stuff is awesome, but he's.

466
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 3: Really helped be a mentor to me.

467
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:05,080
Speaker 7: You know, a man who's been married to his wife,

468
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:08,160
Speaker 7: you know, for over thirty years, loves his wife, loves

469
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 7: his kids, and just a really good role model for me.

470
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 3: So I owe a lot to that man in piano too.

471
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 3: He does, he does, I Die. I've heard his album. Thanks.

472
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 3: I appreciate you, guys,
