1 00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:03,240 Speaker 1: There's a good team win. Um. We gots a well 2 00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:04,920 Speaker 1: coached football team. They played very hard. They do a 3 00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:07,280 Speaker 1: lot of things that pose a lot of issues. It 4 00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:08,400 Speaker 1: was a week that we had to do a lot 5 00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:09,960 Speaker 1: of prep as a team to account for a lot 6 00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:12,800 Speaker 1: of things they have. But personnel and scheme wise, I'm 7 00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:14,840 Speaker 1: pleased with the team effort. I'm pleased with how the 8 00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:16,439 Speaker 1: coaches came beg out of this week and worked on 9 00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:19,320 Speaker 1: the plan, got their players prepared. Uh, we're able to 10 00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:20,680 Speaker 1: make a lot of plays down to stretch and all 11 00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:23,880 Speaker 1: three phases. These are things really carried over force. Obviously, 12 00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:25,960 Speaker 1: some weapons on that team, you know that are gonna 13 00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:27,680 Speaker 1: be productive regarless of what you do. And you gotta 14 00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:29,480 Speaker 1: play through the storm a little bit. So a lot 15 00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:31,000 Speaker 1: of correct those guys in terms of how they play. 16 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:32,800 Speaker 1: We'll see him in a few weeks and uh, we 17 00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:34,680 Speaker 1: got some things look at on tape and obviously, you know, 18 00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:36,480 Speaker 1: make sure we keep moving the right direction as a team. 19 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:39,559 Speaker 1: That being said, open up any questions. You have to 20 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,720 Speaker 1: feel like the operation right with Freddie, you know what. 21 00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:44,640 Speaker 1: I was pleased on the way the offensive coaches worked 22 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:46,320 Speaker 1: throughout the week. I was pleased on how they communicate 23 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:48,959 Speaker 1: on the sideline, made some adjustments. Obviously, some things we've 24 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:50,839 Speaker 1: got to go ahead and continue to do better, you know, 25 00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:52,440 Speaker 1: and make sure that we have avenues for you know, 26 00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 1: plays and put our sels and position to be more 27 00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:56,960 Speaker 1: productive in some areas. But I was pleased with some 28 00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,120 Speaker 1: of the adjustments down to stretch. It was very productive 29 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 1: drive we had in the fourth quarter, got the ball 30 00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:02,080 Speaker 1: backed up to a lot of time off it and 31 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,280 Speaker 1: that with points, put some position to make it a 32 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,080 Speaker 1: touchdown game. That was critical, you know, within this situation here. 33 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 1: I was pleased how those guys all work together throughout 34 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:10,839 Speaker 1: the week at their players prepared. I was very pleased 35 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 1: how the players are spawning throughout the week in terms 36 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,199 Speaker 1: of working and performing today, you know, as a team 37 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,560 Speaker 1: defense per sports turnovers today. I know sometimes those things 38 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 1: come in bunches, but what was what was different works 39 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 1: well for you guys. I think of the defensive point 40 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 1: we made this week was it's just about team defense. 41 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 1: And that sounds generic, say that a lot of team 42 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,200 Speaker 1: defense when you play a team like this, and when 43 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 1: you look at the offense in terms of how they 44 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:33,959 Speaker 1: make a lot of plays and they've been so productive 45 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 1: with the run games, specifically in the last few weeks, 46 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 1: and really what leads those runs being so productive a 47 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 1: lot of times it's they do a good job come 48 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:42,200 Speaker 1: off the ball. So don't take this wrong with but 49 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:43,840 Speaker 1: you know, they do a really good job more so 50 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 1: than just knocking off the ball of getting out of lanes, 51 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 1: get your misfits, getting the edge, getting out of sea gap, 52 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 1: whatever it may be. And they really go ahead and 53 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 1: they pose a threat and pose issues with the way 54 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,040 Speaker 1: that quarterback can run. And the one thing he does 55 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 1: a really really good job of is he holds that 56 00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 1: thing at that mesh point for a long time. And 57 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 1: that really forced is the reading the forces that declare 58 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 1: as a defense and how you're gonna play. And this 59 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 1: guy does a really good job of running this offense 60 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 1: in terms of taking what you give them. And you 61 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 1: can see that in every game. You see it today 62 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,359 Speaker 1: as well, that he's very productive with his legs and 63 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,080 Speaker 1: he knows how extent plays. But really, this quarterback runs 64 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 1: his design runs. He does a really good job of. 65 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 1: So you know, we talked about the defense preparing this week. 66 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,360 Speaker 1: It's all about a Simon football, Okay, It's all about 67 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 1: kind of playing your job, playing your role and trust 68 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:25,640 Speaker 1: and everyone. Now, this isn't like playing Georgia Tech, you 69 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 1: know or not anymore, but it's like playing a triple 70 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 1: option teams okay, where you're facing those kinds of schemes, 71 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 1: but it's very similar in terms of you've got to 72 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 1: play that assignment defense against this team and understand how 73 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,120 Speaker 1: the pieces fit and who has each responsibility and trust 74 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 1: the guys to make the plays that are. Linebackers as 75 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,240 Speaker 1: a whole did a good job tackle on today in space. 76 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 1: I thought there are opportunities that we got after him 77 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:47,679 Speaker 1: in the past game put some pressure on that was 78 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 1: a bonus. But in terms of the run game, I 79 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 1: thought the tackling overall was good. Something We've got to 80 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:53,960 Speaker 1: correctness some things. In the open field. We had bad entry, 81 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 1: Gotta keep our feet moving into contact, keep our eyes up, 82 00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 1: wrap and get him on the ground. But I thought overall, 83 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 1: one of the biggest folks we've had this week was tackling, 84 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 1: and it was a shorter week so we didn't have 85 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 1: a pad of practicement out there and went live and 86 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,079 Speaker 1: pop pat. So it's something you've got to make sure 87 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 1: you get and simulate in different ways. But the open 88 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 1: field work is critical preparing for a team like this 89 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 1: and a player like him all right, where you've got 90 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 1: to really be good and discipline in space to play 91 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 1: with your feet, moving the right entry, the right leverage 92 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 1: and finished the tackle. But overall is a team that 93 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 1: was good and obviously there's something that he made us 94 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 1: miss and we gotta keep improving. We'll have any miss tackles, 95 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,240 Speaker 1: but you've got to minimize me. It's a team like this. 96 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,960 Speaker 1: The things that you guys did, he picked him three times, 97 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 1: he'd throw them five whole year. I mean, was the 98 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 1: pressure or one? Well, it's it's always a combination of everything. 99 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 1: It's always a combination of Number one, can you stop 100 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 1: throwing and put in a position where they have to throw, 101 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 1: And then when they do throw, can you get enough 102 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 1: pressure on that even it's not directly on that play, 103 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 1: does that you know, does that accumulate throughout the game 104 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: that they feel that pressure in their head and the 105 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 1: internal clock running. And then it comes down to playing 106 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 1: assignment football on the back end as well. With Xavier, 107 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 1: those guys in terms of breaking and making the interceptions, uh, 108 00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 1: you know, obviously had one and a half. But it's 109 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 1: just being in our place right time, but playing with 110 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 1: good discipline. If it's man, you gotta player leverage, you 111 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:04,120 Speaker 1: have to look through your man. If it's zone, you 112 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 1: gotta play the right depth, right zone. You gotta make 113 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 1: sure that your key in the quarterback and you're moving 114 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 1: it the right way. You know. So you've got to 115 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: play your assignment. I think really just as a whole, 116 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 1: the place come to you when you play your assignment, 117 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 1: you play the right technique, right discipline, you play flying 118 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:20,159 Speaker 1: round of the ball. Can you talk about the development 119 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 1: of Xavier and Julian Love, Yeah, so I think both 120 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 1: guys really just make constant improvement. You know. Zay's a 121 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 1: guy that last year obviously missed a significant amount of 122 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 1: development time with being hurt, and uh, you know he 123 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 1: saw him last year improve every week. He's a guy 124 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 1: that this year is continuously gotten better, you know. And 125 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 1: you know, part of the thing with the defense early 126 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 1: on is you gotta put the right guys in the 127 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:40,720 Speaker 1: right places right and find out how to use your 128 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 1: guy's best to be most productive. One thing we've really 129 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 1: found with him is like this guy can do a 130 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,119 Speaker 1: lot of things close a line of scrimmage. He can blitz, 131 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,159 Speaker 1: he can cover man. You know, he can play underneath 132 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:49,720 Speaker 1: his robber. He does all those things very well. But 133 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 1: one thing he really does exceptionally well is playing a 134 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 1: deep part of the field. That's where he's made a 135 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 1: lot of plays right now. He plays a very good vision, 136 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 1: very good instincts. He's very intelligent. He understands what he's 137 00:04:58,120 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 1: seen earlier in that game as well as on tape. 138 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,039 Speaker 1: Kind of go ahead and calculate the formation along with 139 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:03,600 Speaker 1: the personnel of how they're using it, what they're gonna 140 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,359 Speaker 1: get to. But it plays a good discipline on the 141 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 1: back end of the field and he's made a lot 142 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 1: of plays by sitting back there letting the play develop. 143 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 1: And then he's obviously has a skill set physically to 144 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 1: make those breaks and finish with those catches. Right there. 145 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 1: You have a lot of moving parts in the secondary. 146 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,160 Speaker 1: Can you talk about those guys at the end, especially 147 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 1: the play of Aaron Robinson. Yeah, so we lost a 148 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 1: couple of guys obviously with getting injured. Um, so we'll 149 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 1: check on them, see where they're at. I know right 150 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:26,159 Speaker 1: now they're both getting looked at, you know, by the 151 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,159 Speaker 1: medical team, you know, in terms of you know, the 152 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,480 Speaker 1: next guy coming up That's why we practice everyone prepare everybody. 153 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 1: You know, we talked about all the time. You know, 154 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:33,839 Speaker 1: whoever's in the game has to be productive and produced 155 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 1: a robs A guy similar in a lot of ways 156 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 1: to what Zay dealt with last year's We just talked 157 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:39,599 Speaker 1: about in terms if he missed a lot of time, 158 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 1: you know, in development because of the injury situation. And 159 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,159 Speaker 1: he's improved every week. And this guy is a really 160 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,160 Speaker 1: good skill set. He's very instinctive. This guy plays physical, 161 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 1: you know, but you see week after week is for 162 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 1: these young guys especially, they have to understand how to 163 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 1: really make sure they play with the right technique, discipline 164 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 1: and these matchups because the reality is everyone ever run 165 00:05:58,160 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 1: to cover in this league is a good athlete. Everyone's 166 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,039 Speaker 1: skill sets why they're here. So you gotta play at 167 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 1: the right fundamentals and discipline. And he's really improved on 168 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 1: that aspect of it right there. And obviously you know 169 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 1: he's very aggressive, you know, at the point of attack 170 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,359 Speaker 1: with the ball coming right there. As far as making breakups, 171 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,600 Speaker 1: you can handle the ball. Um I liked where this 172 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 1: guy works. You know, he's not shy, but he's got 173 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 1: a quiet demean or to him. The guys know he's 174 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,039 Speaker 1: always listening, but he's a very good communicate at the 175 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 1: same time, which is kind of you know, ironic to 176 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:23,839 Speaker 1: say that. You know, he's not you know, he's quiet, 177 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 1: but he's good communicator. I think of the thing he 178 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,240 Speaker 1: does best in communicate and knows he listens and then 179 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,040 Speaker 1: he listens and he listens to the install he listens 180 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:31,840 Speaker 1: to coaching points, and he learns from the people's mistakes 181 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,599 Speaker 1: like that covered coverage wise, you guys have done it 182 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:42,040 Speaker 1: before putting Bradbury on Ronthey Smith. It seemed to kind 183 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 1: of work into what the games then was allowed the 184 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 1: other guys to play their assignments. Did you was that 185 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 1: kind of the plan going in and that where he 186 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 1: was pressing boy Brad and that was part of it, 187 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 1: and then there's all some adjustments within the game, you know, 188 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 1: I mean we've but in this game plan there was 189 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 1: there was you know plan in terms of just matching 190 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 1: up based on alignment as well as matching based on personnel. 191 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 1: I think James done a good job. You know, he's 192 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 1: a guy that you know, works extremely hard for Uce. 193 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 1: He's a really good leader force and then he really 194 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 1: leads his styles you know, he's a leader by example. 195 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 1: He's not afraid to put his arm around the guy 196 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 1: and challenge him. But James really comes to work every day, 197 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 1: and there's a lot of days that you know, there's 198 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 1: a lot of things people don't know about James in 199 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 1: terms of days that he comes there. And maybe we 200 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 1: have a plan with the medical team if we gotta 201 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 1: pull off this guy today, we gotta get Skuy a 202 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 1: little extra rest. Next you know, you look out there 203 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 1: and there's there's twenty four get one on once, you know, 204 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 1: and you can't tell him Marco from say James, you know, 205 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 1: you can back it down a little bit right here, 206 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 1: and they'll say, now they're out here working, I want 207 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 1: to get here too. I want to get a standard watching. 208 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 1: So you really appreciate and respect the guy who does that. 209 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 1: You respect the way he works and obviously is a 210 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 1: productive player for a lot of reasons. But to me, 211 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 1: I think he's very productive because of how he works 212 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 1: in practice and carries over the game. So look at 213 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 1: number six s. He's a heck of a player. Guys, man, 214 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 1: he's a guy. When you play against him, you gotta 215 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 1: know where he's at because you know the quarterback news 216 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 1: where he's at, and he's got to make plays going 217 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 1: down the field, and he can really challenge you guys, 218 00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 1: and he's an explosive player. Like I said earlier in 219 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:00,320 Speaker 1: the week, this guy, I think is everything everyone body 220 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 1: could be coming out and he's one of the top 221 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,560 Speaker 1: players at his position in the league. And that's a 222 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 1: lot to say now at a young age, but this 223 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:08,840 Speaker 1: guy is really a special type of player. And you know, 224 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 1: we're obviously gonna see him a whole lot, so we've 225 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 1: got to make sure that you know, next time we 226 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 1: see him, im sure you have a different plan and 227 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 1: find a way to match us up and great way 228 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 1: to get him open. And we got to keep improving 229 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 1: with our techniques as a team and put up in 230 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 1: a position to be successful. And I'll get to everyone, 231 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 1: I'll get that our propose the ceremony is at halftime 232 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 1: with straight hand. You're not seeing it, but does the 233 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 1: team feel that. Does this team feel the presidence of 234 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 1: straight hand, especially at a game like this where the 235 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 1: defense did carry it? Yeah? Absolutely, yeah, absolute. When we 236 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,079 Speaker 1: talk about, you know, earlier in the week in terms 237 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 1: of like what's going on, let's just clear at the game, 238 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 1: you know they come out for halftime stuff. But you 239 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 1: know what a guy like straight Hand being honored. I mean, 240 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 1: we're always big on the history of the organization, right. 241 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:46,679 Speaker 1: We talked about the area that people we represent and 242 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:48,960 Speaker 1: history of the organization who came before in terms of 243 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,840 Speaker 1: you know who we represent. Look, let me be honest 244 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 1: with you. When you get a guy, you know, being 245 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 1: honored like that, you don't want to go out there 246 00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,280 Speaker 1: and laying egg. Let's just be honest with what it is. 247 00:08:58,280 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 1: You don't ever want to do that. But you don't 248 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 1: want to go out there. You know, Michael Strahan's out 249 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 1: there being honored for the great player he was we 250 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 1: did for this team. You don't want to go out 251 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,679 Speaker 1: there and lay an egg, especially defensively, right. I mean, 252 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 1: those guys are conscious of it, you know. Leonard Williams 253 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 1: said me. You know, I'll let him talk himself, but 254 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 1: Leonard said of me coming out after halftime, he goes, 255 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 1: it's good to see stray Hand out here, you know, 256 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 1: And it's like they're very very conscious of that. They're 257 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 1: very conscious of that people came before us, very conscious 258 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 1: of players you have made impact this team over the years. 259 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,199 Speaker 1: You know, the only pictures we have in the building 260 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 1: are former players. Okay, we got the boroughs, we got 261 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:29,040 Speaker 1: the area of North Jersey, we got the you know, 262 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 1: areas someone's alert and aware of you know, who we 263 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 1: represent to know the areas. And then we got picture 264 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:36,440 Speaker 1: of former players. That's all we got. We don't need 265 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 1: a bunch of you know, motivational sayings and all type 266 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,480 Speaker 1: of stuff. All we need is just who and where. 267 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 1: That's all It's important with the offense there, how much 268 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,200 Speaker 1: of an emphasis was put on trying to get the 269 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 1: ball up to some of your playmakers in space? You 270 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 1: saw you guys really to Kenny in certain even Daniels 271 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,800 Speaker 1: from like you know the plan earlier, get him out 272 00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 1: in space to make some place. How much was that 273 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:02,360 Speaker 1: an emphasis throughout the week? And that was that was yeah, Jordan, 274 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 1: that was the AMPSSIS period. And I explained around a 275 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 1: week in terms of just how I see the game, 276 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 1: and I see the game through players. That's just the 277 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 1: way I see the game. And uh, you know, to me, 278 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:12,959 Speaker 1: it's important to make sure that we're involving all of 279 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,840 Speaker 1: our guys and sometimes you know, we're putting positions today 280 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 1: to make some places. Kenny made some huge catches, force 281 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 1: down you know, down the stretch. He's obviously an issue 282 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:22,959 Speaker 1: in the red area. The two opportunities to get the 283 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 1: Balltom in the end zone. Um, you know, I'm not 284 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,320 Speaker 1: gonna see him talk about anything, you know what happened 285 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 1: within the game, but obviously it's something that drew a 286 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 1: lot of attention to it. And uh, you know, look, 287 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 1: it's all about players. That's it's what we do our 288 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:35,600 Speaker 1: job for. It's about the players who want to put 289 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:37,439 Speaker 1: in the position and make plays give me a chance 290 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:39,679 Speaker 1: to be successful. So in terms of the plan, look, 291 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:41,560 Speaker 1: there's not gonna be any secret. The reality is, yeah, 292 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:42,920 Speaker 1: we're gonna always look for a way to get the 293 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 1: ball to our players. That's it. Asked about the operation, 294 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:50,440 Speaker 1: what did you think about it would actually play calls 295 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:52,560 Speaker 1: and the way that you know, Freddie went about it, 296 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,560 Speaker 1: and uh, sort of the rhythm to it that all 297 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,200 Speaker 1: those guys working together did a really good job of 298 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,439 Speaker 1: talking through this series makes the necessary to us. It's 299 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,319 Speaker 1: not every play was perfect. Okay, there's a lot of 300 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 1: things we have to go back and make sure we correct. 301 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 1: To keep pushing forward and working with all right and 302 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 1: kind of looking at you know what work with did 303 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 1: and how we can go ahead and improve on that. However, 304 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:11,960 Speaker 1: in terms of how those guys work together operationally with it, 305 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 1: I was very pleased with it. I was very pleased 306 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 1: with it, so John. But the last time you had 307 00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 1: the ball on the third is ten, Daniel ends up 308 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 1: rolling out and slide. It is the idea, and there 309 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:25,080 Speaker 1: only throwed if a guy is wide open or do 310 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 1: you have to be aggressive there to try to get 311 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:28,840 Speaker 1: the first down and run out of the clock. Well, 312 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 1: they're gonna use their last time out right there, right, 313 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 1: so we don't want to give them a freebe and 314 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:32,679 Speaker 1: then all of sudden give me a a drive with the 315 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,040 Speaker 1: time out. So yeah, that's part of it right there. 316 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 1: I don't think it's really unkind of trade secret. I 317 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,600 Speaker 1: think everyone you know operationally within you know, coaching, like you, 318 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 1: understands kind of what you're doing there. So I mean, look, 319 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 1: there's times we can go ahead and just drop straight 320 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 1: back to sit in the pocket and zinging it down 321 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:47,199 Speaker 1: to fielding a confidence on doing that if you've got 322 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 1: the right matchup, if you've got the right situation. For 323 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 1: us today, you know, we had a lot of confidence 324 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 1: terms how our defense is playing. Look I'm a big 325 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,200 Speaker 1: believer in kind of situationally managing the game. I thought 326 00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 1: it was, you know, big force right there that if 327 00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 1: they're gonna get the ball back, we're gonna make them 328 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:05,840 Speaker 1: play rushed. I second one more time was frustrating only 329 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:10,840 Speaker 1: to hold the ball in twenty seconds that I mean 330 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 1: four minute football, which is the situation and run the clock. 331 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:14,520 Speaker 1: I ultimately want to go ahead and finish with the 332 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:16,960 Speaker 1: ball in your hand. But look, you talk through all 333 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,959 Speaker 1: the situations, so you talk about the second we get 334 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 1: the ball back.

Then you get through the game, you say, okay, 346 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:48,200 Speaker 1: four minutes coming up? What are we thinking? So, you know, 347 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 1: after I go ahead and hit them off, Okay, here's 348 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 1: the flow of first, second, third down we gotta start 349 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:53,680 Speaker 1: thinking about. Then I go right to team back and Tom. 350 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 1: I start talking about Okay, let's talk about the situations 351 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:57,320 Speaker 1: coming up. If we don't finish this right here, it's 352 00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:58,800 Speaker 1: a guy to have a pun situation. What are we 353 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 1: expect and probably a rush, which is what we got. Okay, 354 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 1: how are we gonna handle this right here? How we 355 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 1: handle the situation? And I go to Patt and it's 356 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:06,800 Speaker 1: all right, Pat, let's just be ready right now to 357 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,520 Speaker 1: play defense against a two minute drill where they need 358 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:11,600 Speaker 1: to touchdown with no time outs. So that's the situation 359 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:13,240 Speaker 1: right there, and you lay it down, you play it now. 360 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,240 Speaker 1: Before that, there's the situations that come up as well, 361 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:17,520 Speaker 1: you know, so you got to talk through all the 362 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:19,000 Speaker 1: things that are come up. I want all the coaches 363 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,280 Speaker 1: always thinking through process and talking TOTO players and the 364 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 1: players surprised. So when it hits third down and we're 365 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:25,680 Speaker 1: on offense, that punt team better be ready on the 366 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:27,760 Speaker 1: sideline right because Tom and tamac gotta talked to them 367 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,240 Speaker 1: about here's the situation, here's our address that what we 368 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:31,959 Speaker 1: expected and getting based on the history and tendency of 369 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,079 Speaker 1: the coordinator, based on the players they have, is it's 370 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:35,960 Speaker 1: more of a rush or return type philosophy. Here, how 371 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 1: they're gonna handle it and how do we handle it 372 00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 1: accordingly as well? And then defensively, you guys start talking 373 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 1: about it all right, look, guys, third downs coming up. 374 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:43,720 Speaker 1: I know what the offense is gonna do. I know 375 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 1: the call is gonna be because I hear you getting 376 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 1: buzzed in you start hitting pattive. Okay, guys, here's what 377 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,319 Speaker 1: you're looking at. Scenario wise, the ball could be here, 378 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 1: the ball beyond this hash based on the direction we're going. 379 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:55,120 Speaker 1: Let's start thinking about how they're gonna call this game 380 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:56,559 Speaker 1: and what they're gonna do. So you always want to 381 00:13:56,559 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 1: try and play ahead as much as you can. Right there, 382 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 1: the touchdown was scored by a guy who had not 383 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,600 Speaker 1: had a reception in the NFL. UM that's a play. 384 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:07,560 Speaker 1: You have your tight ends, right, He's just the next 385 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,440 Speaker 1: guy in there, so he doesn't you know, he gets 386 00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 1: that play that kind of blocks and then well we 387 00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 1: knew he was going to be the guy in there 388 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 1: all weeks, so this wasn't a situation where you know, 389 00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:18,040 Speaker 1: Mark just happens stance was in there. But you know 390 00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:19,960 Speaker 1: that was a play design for, you know, a couple 391 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 1: of different reads, and he ended up the involvement and 392 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 1: did a good job of making it right there.
