1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,080
Speaker 1: Start with the injuries. Today, Evan Ingram was out there

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:07,360
Speaker 1: in the walkthrough, so we'll see how much he can do. Um,

3
00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:10,160
Speaker 1: he's got the hamstring. The rest of the guys will

4
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 1: be um, you know, you know, competing out there to

5
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:16,599
Speaker 1: some degree. Some might be limited or whatnot. But and

6
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:18,960
Speaker 1: then you'll see that Cody Lattimer's back. We're gonna start

7
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 1: his clock, get him practicing in case we need him

8
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 1: here down the road, much like we've been doing with

9
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 1: with Jonathan Stewart. So UM, with that, I'll take your questions.

10
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,960
Speaker 1: Even before the injury, Evans snaps were decreasing each of

11
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 1: the last two weeks. Is his role? Um? What is

12
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 1: going on between him and Ellison that maybe has helped

13
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 1: Allison surpass him in terms of snaps play? Yeah, I don't.

14
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 1: I think what we're trying to do is use the

15
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:51,239
Speaker 1: players and the strengths you know of the players, And

16
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 1: I think Evans had good production with fewer snaps and

17
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 1: trying to get him to do the things that he

18
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: does well and then ratt You know, it has nothing

19
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: to do with one being more valuable than the other.

20
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 1: We're just trying to use their strengths. Um that they

21
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 1: possess is people always kind of wonder to see pret

22
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: me a wide receiver. Is that's something you've given any

23
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 1: consideration to switch into. Yeah, I think he has skills

24
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 1: to be a wide receiver, and quite whether whether we

25
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 1: list him as a tight end or not, you see

26
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:23,679
Speaker 1: quite frequently he's lined up in a detached position. Um,

27
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: So you know we're aware of that and try to

28
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: take advantage of those skills. We're UM in a chat

29
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 1: Wheeler's development, Um, is he ready to face the challenge

30
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 1: you will have about something? Well, I think he's been

31
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 1: challenged each week, So I think he's developed throughout the season. Um,

32
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 1: I think he's gotten better each week. I mean he's

33
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: he's he's with that group of guys that have played

34
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: their best three games in the last three weeks against

35
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 1: some really good opponents. You know that was let's not

36
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: forget that. The D line we just face it was

37
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 1: was another tough task, another tough challenge to block. And

38
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: I thought he hung in there well. And I thought

39
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 1: he played pretty well for the most part last week.

40
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 1: So you just keep developing. You try to study the

41
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 1: matchup that you're gonna face. You know he'll face both

42
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: defensive ends fifty two lines up on both sides depending

43
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: on what they're trying to accomplish. But Floyd is also

44
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: an outstanding rusher. So, um, that's the challenge anytime you

45
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: play a front like the Bears, um we'll put in

46
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: front of us, is being able to block your guy.

47
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,679
Speaker 1: But to answer your question, I think he's developed well

48
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: throughout the year and he's really benefited from all the

49
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,359
Speaker 1: reps and and all the playing time. He's gotten different.

50
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 1: I mean to see it different. You know, he's special

51
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,959
Speaker 1: that you need to Yeah, I mean he's a guy

52
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: that can he can really disrupt the game in a

53
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 1: way that um is not good for the offense. But

54
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 1: we got to block him, you know. And I think

55
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:57,639
Speaker 1: that's um, that's the case every week and game plan

56
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,239
Speaker 1: pass threshers for a long time and remind you of

57
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 1: anybody in the way he can record game. No, I

58
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,399
Speaker 1: mean he's he's obviously a very good player. He's got

59
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 1: a good first step, you know, he can he can

60
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 1: bowl rush you, you know, and go and then work

61
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: your edge or I can just work your edge. And

62
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: then I think what he does a good job of

63
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: is keeping his feet moving and then as the play

64
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: develops being in a position to either sack the quarterback

65
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 1: or find the running back. So now he's he's a

66
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 1: really good player. With their quarterback a little banged up,

67
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 1: do you prepare for the same offense, but I assume

68
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: it will be limited if you get the backup. No.

69
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: I think the offense that they run it is very familiar.

70
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: I I've I've coached in the West Coast system. You

71
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: know where Matt came from with Andy Reid. But he's

72
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 1: also got Um his offensive coordinator. He's a guy from

73
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: the the Oregon family that Um. I worked in that

74
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: system with Chip, so I see elements of bow. You know,

75
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: they've gotten to more of his own read type run game.

76
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: Their run game will be very similar to what we

77
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: faced against Philadelphia, very similar a lot of ways because

78
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: Doug and Matt and Andy were all together recently and

79
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 1: so um you know, recognize the plays are running. Certainly

80
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 1: we have to defend him, and they've done a really

81
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 1: good job. They've got some talented guys that they get

82
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 1: the ball too. I think the real challenge when you

83
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: when you play against a guy like uh Trabiskie is

84
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: if it's not there. I think he's got the most

85
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,720
Speaker 1: rushing yards of any quarterback. Um, he'll pull it down

86
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: and run with it. He's got a good set of

87
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 1: legs that will either keep a drive alive or they

88
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 1: can use them in his own read game. Whether they

89
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: choose to do it because he's coming back from the

90
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,279
Speaker 1: shoulder thing, I don't know, but we'll need to prepare

91
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,479
Speaker 1: for it. What's your relationship with Matt I think he

92
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 1: was an intern with the Eagles, maybe at the end

93
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,359
Speaker 1: of your career. What's your relationship with him? What do

94
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 1: you remember from those days? Have you stayed in touch. Yeah, no,

95
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 1: we've always stayed in touch. I think we have a

96
00:04:55,720 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 1: professional friendship. Um, we're really from the same family of coaches,

97
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 1: and then we've all gone you know, we've both gone

98
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 1: on and done different things. But very impressed with what

99
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 1: he's done. You know, he inherited a team that had

100
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 1: a really, really good defense. And again I played against

101
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 1: these guys twice a year for the last two years.

102
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 1: Very similar. The defensive structure is the same, and they

103
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: added a couple more really good players. So that's the

104
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: challenge there. And I think what he's done on offense,

105
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: he's come in and kind of used the strength of

106
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 1: the quarterback that they have and um, you know, kind

107
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: of provide a little bit of excitement and injuice to

108
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 1: the team. Cat you next your next five opponents starting

109
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: at this point, they're all kind of in the playoff

110
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 1: hunt from him in the mixed whether they're in the top. Decision,

111
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 1: do you relish the role of spoiler or or you

112
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 1: break down the front of the the players. Now, I don't

113
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: think we don't. Again, just go back to what I'm saying.

114
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 1: We're trying to beat the Bears, and I don't. I

115
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: don't know what the spoiler thing means. You know, it's

116
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: kind of a I'm looking at the positive approach of

117
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 1: us winning and then worrying about I'm not really worried

118
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 1: about the team we're playing, whether we, you know, hurt

119
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,359
Speaker 1: their chances to do something else. What I want to

120
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 1: do is be better than the team we're playing this Sunday.

121
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 1: And you said yesterday that you think as a late

122
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 1: Eli's playing that you know, is that from the bye week,

123
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: you know, the two wins and last week? Is that

124
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 1: the demarcation you haven't and why do you you know,

125
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 1: what do you see about him? It's better? Well, I

126
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 1: think much like defensive football, UM, offensive football. UM. It's

127
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 1: all coordinated, and it starts up front. You know. I

128
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 1: think we've done a better job um up front, you know,

129
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: blocking whether it's a run or a pass. And I

130
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,040
Speaker 1: think that contributes to the success of a quarterback when

131
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: we choose to throw it. Um, he's had to throw

132
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 1: the ball less, but he's been more efficient doing it.

133
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: And I think that's that's a really good formula. And

134
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 1: so we're kind of stumbling on the formula here, not stumbling,

135
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:56,280
Speaker 1: but we're getting to the things that UM are important

136
00:06:56,320 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: for a team to help win games. Coach, this defense

137
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 1: is strugglingly, especially leading games. Is it times doing a

138
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 1: game when you see things with the defense where you

139
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 1: communicate with Betcha, Hey, James, this is what I want done?

140
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 1: Or is this strictly Betcha's show for sixty minutes. No,

141
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: I'm always listening to what we're doing. I'm always well

142
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 1: aware of what our plan is going into the game,

143
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: and I'm in constant communication with betch in terms of

144
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 1: what we intend to do. And certainly he's the coordinator,

145
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: he coordinates it, he runs it, he calls it. But

146
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 1: I'm right there on the phone and I have suggestions

147
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 1: throughout the game and have been throughout the games. Kind

148
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: we're the benefits of getting Jonathan and maybe Cody back in,

149
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 1: and you know, they're they're sort of established players. I'm

150
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: sure if you know what, you haven't as best opposed

151
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: to some of the younger guys who I'm sure you

152
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 1: would like the well, the way the system works. Certainly

153
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 1: they've been on I R and then this I kind

154
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: of like the way this works. You can practice him

155
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: for three weeks because along the way you may need

156
00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 1: a player. So that's the benefit of it. We lost

157
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 1: Quadri this week with a shoulder, and so you have

158
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 1: a player that's practicing then then can come in and contribute.

159
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 1: So that's really the benefit of it. You never know

160
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 1: when you're gonna lose a running back, you never know

161
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 1: when you're gonna lose a wide receiver. So to have

162
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: a couple of guys kind of in the system getting

163
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: themselves back into it, I think I think whoever said,

164
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 1: whoever made the rule, I think it's a good rule.

165
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 1: Where is Stewart in his progression at this point, he's

166
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 1: you know, he's ready to go if we need him,

167
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 1: you know, and he's got another week before we have

168
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 1: to decide thing out. Uh, Kerry wins completely clear. Yeah,

169
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: I think, um, he's still limited, but he'll be out

170
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:45,319
Speaker 1: there and but he's going through the protocol and we're

171
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 1: very hopeful that enough time to get through it. You

172
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 1: gotta ask yesterday and on the radio when you were

173
00:08:54,520 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 1: talking about Rosas, You're answer has been perceived has taken

174
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 1: a shot at O'Dell when you mentioned the hydration that

175
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 1: he's a player who doesn't who doesn't complain about getting

176
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:10,959
Speaker 1: up in the morning, who doesn't have hydration issues. I'm

177
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 1: not quoting directly. Was that in reference Totel? Not at all,

178
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 1: Not at all. I'm fond of him for the we're

179
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: in the It's not a shot at anybody. It's my

180
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 1: perception of things. We're in an age now, we're sports

181
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:33,080
Speaker 1: science rules, right, and I'm from an age where it

182
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 1: didn't matter how much sleep you got, it doesn't matter

183
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 1: what you did. You come to work and you perform.

184
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: And that's what I see in Rosas. He's very he's

185
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 1: got that football player mentality. That answer had nothing to

186
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 1: do with any other player other than to compliment the

187
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: fact that he's a tough son of a gun and

188
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 1: I appreciate him as a player that I mean. I

189
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 1: think whoever perceived that was was was way off base.

190
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 1: I'm just I just think I like kickers that are

191
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 1: actual football players, and that's what he is. He's a big,

192
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,560
Speaker 1: tough guy that has kicked the ball well force
