1
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:07,280
Speaker 1: Still in the protocol. Um, today is kind of the

2
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:09,639
Speaker 1: final day for him. Uh, so he'll be he'll be

3
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 1: out there to practice to day. No, you gotta go

4
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 1: through all the steps. You gotta go through all the steps,

5
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:19,239
Speaker 1: and tomorrow would be the day that you could Saturday,

6
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:24,800
Speaker 1: last day could be Saturday. Yes, he's fine, he's good.

7
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 1: So he'll travel to Kansas City with him. Yes, so

8
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:33,559
Speaker 1: what's the No, one's really been able to do it.

9
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 1: But what do you think is the best way to

10
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:38,960
Speaker 1: kind of slow anything else? What has kind of worked

11
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 1: in the past from what do you see? Okay, it's

12
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:44,479
Speaker 1: artist difficult. I mean he's such a great player, um,

13
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 1: you know, he's the ability is just for him to wiggle,

14
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 1: you know. And and really um runs great routes. You know.

15
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 1: He just solid player, you know, and and and has

16
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 1: learned you know him and you know, my homes being

17
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 1: on the same page, so that they kind of sometimes

18
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:04,319
Speaker 1: do their own I want to say, do their own thing,

19
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 1: but it's like they're it's like they're doing their own thing,

20
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: you know, playing pitch and catch. But you gotta do

21
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 1: the best you can to maybe disrupt timing. It's the

22
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. Um, you know, obviously, you know, pressure

23
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 1: on the quarterback helps a little bit with that UM.

24
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: But it's it's something that you gotta, you know, you

25
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: really gotta I think, focus on you know, UM throughout

26
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 1: the course of the game from the standpoint like kind

27
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: of preparing that you know, if he gets in trouble,

28
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,559
Speaker 1: and we'll get in trouble, he's looking for Kelsey first,

29
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Yeah, And and really sometimes

30
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: I know, you know, probably in the red zone might

31
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: be looking for him. But sometimes it's all the guys.

32
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: I tell you one thing, All the guys on offense

33
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: do a great job of you know, their scramble scramble rules,

34
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: UM and and it's it's tough, you know, you just

35
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: again you just have to you know, plaster on a

36
00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: receiver tight end and and you know, hopefully the uh

37
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 1: either get him to throw it away or you know,

38
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: a short game. I mean as to practice the last

39
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 1: two days. But Hardeman, whether he can or can't go,

40
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: what sort of dimensions he brought to that offense. Well,

41
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,359
Speaker 1: I mean he's a speed guy, you know, and and

42
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: UH just they do a lot of you know, jet

43
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: sweeps with them and you know, get him, get him

44
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 1: in space in the passing game, and of course you

45
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: know the specialist the return game. You know, it's obviously

46
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: big and um, you know he's a he's a good

47
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: player too, you know, and and uh um again just

48
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 1: for us, it's just you know, we have to prepare

49
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 1: it if he's going to be out there, you know,

50
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: and and and go into the game that way you

51
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:43,959
Speaker 1: have to worry about. They got a lot of other guys.

52
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,799
Speaker 1: Last week you saw you saw Patrick, you know, do

53
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,799
Speaker 1: this crazy scramble in third and seventeen gets up twenty

54
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: two yards especially probably you know, is the key play

55
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: to get them to overtime. How tough is it, particularly

56
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: for defensive linement is for reporter, you're already tired as

57
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: it is, and you've got this guy that's got these

58
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 1: provisational skills that are off the charge. Yeah, you know,

59
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: that's the that's the hardest thing. That's what makes him

60
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 1: makes him special, you know as a quarterback, the ability

61
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 1: to do that. And you know, I know every defense

62
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 1: that faces Mahomes, you know, probably preaches the same thing.

63
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: You just gotta continue to finish. You gotta play to

64
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: the whistle and um, you know, do what you can

65
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 1: to try to try to get to him, you know,

66
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 1: but again those are all the those are all the

67
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: things that make him make him great, and uh, you know,

68
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: you just try to minimize as many of those plays

69
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: as possible. Type of pass wrestlers, Chris Jones, He's pretty good.

70
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: He's pretty good. He's he's got great quickness, crowds, line

71
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: of scrimmage. Um, you know, his first step is explosive.

72
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: He's powerful, and he he gets right into the you know,

73
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: into the offensive lineman. And then when you put him

74
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: on the edge, he's got the speed to you know,

75
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: to go around tackles and playing at home crowd noise,

76
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 1: you know, Um, great anticipation you know, with with getting

77
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 1: off the ball, and uh, you know, can can get

78
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: to the quarterback that way and and really be disruptive.

79
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: So good pass rusher, Um, I just gotta know where

80
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: he's at. Back to the offense. Zone read quarterbacks has

81
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: kind of been a thorn in the defensive side over

82
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 1: the last you know, against the Giants, against the Eagles

83
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: with Hurts and then Jones, what do you do this

84
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,480
Speaker 1: week to prepare them for I don't even want to

85
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 1: call Patrick like a zone read quarterback is obviously he's

86
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 1: so much more than that. But how do you prepare them?

87
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: You know, their style too, is a lot of the

88
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 1: the RPO game. UM ball is going to come out

89
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 1: quick to the tight end or a receiver and no situations.

90
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: Obviously Patrick can run. It's just it's a discipline game.

91
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: It's it's trusting your read, trusting your keys. You can't

92
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,479
Speaker 1: you can't get out of out of whack of what

93
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 1: you're trying to do, right, You just gotta stay within

94
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: the framework of the defense called and and um you know,

95
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: just do your job that way and and you know,

96
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 1: the more that you can st disrupt that and kind

97
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,600
Speaker 1: of get them out of that um can be helpful

98
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 1: as the game goes on. How much can you learn

99
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: about your team in a big matchup like this one,

100
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,840
Speaker 1: I think you can learn a lot, you know, one,

101
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 1: the character your team, you're on the road, hostile crowd, noise,

102
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 1: all that, um you know, and really how we respond

103
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,839
Speaker 1: to after after a win last weekend, you know, and

104
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,839
Speaker 1: and building off of that. This is a great opportunity

105
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: for our guys, you know, to go in there and

106
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: play a a really good football team, you know, well

107
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 1: coached team, disciplined, football team. It'll be a nice, uh

108
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 1: you know, benchmark game for for us to see where

109
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: we're at. They play a lot of cover too, obviously

110
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 1: that's been something that second most in the league or

111
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: most in lea, something like that what they're calling it anyway, Yeah,

112
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: so what do they do mix up their coverages? But

113
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 1: for whatever the reason, I mean, have you felt like

114
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: with the cover two and maybe it's just whatever. The

115
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 1: Texans run their style of the defense that Trevor has

116
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 1: struggled and three times he played them, so how have

117
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 1: you seen him maybe progress against scheme over the last

118
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: few weeks. This is um. I wouldn't categorize this as

119
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 1: much as Cover two like Houston. Thus it's more middlefield,

120
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: open um and spags. You know. You go back and

121
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 1: watch his teams, the Giants when when I faced him before,

122
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: you know, with Philly, and there's a lot of a

123
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 1: lot of the same similar style of defenses even back then,

124
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 1: probably even the same type of pass rushers, you know,

125
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 1: so you see a lot of the same things he

126
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 1: Now he does sprinkle the traditional cover two um, but

127
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,799
Speaker 1: this is more of a red style and and really

128
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 1: you know, much like Cover two principles, a lot of

129
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: eyes are on the quarterback right, and then they're gonna

130
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:47,040
Speaker 1: rally and and they squeeze passing lanes. So ball's gotta

131
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: come out. It's gotta be accurate. Receiver has gotta be detailed,

132
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: you know, you gotta catch, put your foot in the ground,

133
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 1: get up field. All those things. Um against this, you know,

134
00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 1: against his style of defense, especially the shell defensi
