Played with a lot of energy, 29 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 2: did a good job in a run game, made some play. 30 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:12,959 Speaker 2: You know, they missed that field goal, he got that 31 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:17,760 Speaker 2: big tackle for loss, rushed, well, he was making progress. 32 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:19,480 Speaker 3: I thought he played played a good game. 33 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:22,840 Speaker 1: Just to be clear on Waller for a second. When 34 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:24,759 Speaker 1: you say everyone is going to practice, does that include 35 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 1: him not him? 36 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:29,559 Speaker 2: Yeah, everybody that can practice. 37 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 3: Yeah. 38 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:36,840 Speaker 4: Dames looked like they really wanted to hit you the 39 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 4: other night with a lot of misdirection. I know that's 40 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,040 Speaker 4: part of their offense, and if you go back earlier 41 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:43,959 Speaker 4: this year, you guys seem to have a lot of 42 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,960 Speaker 4: problems with that. Especially you know in the Miami games, 43 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 4: they caught you a lot with the pre snap. What 44 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 4: do you attest to Is it just time and the 45 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 4: defense gelling, or do you think it's something that you 46 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 4: guys did game plan wise that that allowed you to 47 00:01:59,080 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 4: overcome that. 48 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 3: Well, we made some good plays too. I mean that 49 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 3: two point play was a heck of a. 50 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,560 Speaker 2: Play by Bobby and the rest of the guys where 51 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 2: they motioned that candid off on the outside. You know, 52 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 2: there's a wide variety of runs you get nowadays in 53 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,639 Speaker 2: the league, whether it's jet sweeps with receivers, reverses outside 54 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:17,920 Speaker 2: zones with receivers kind of a different way than the 55 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 2: traditional way. So I think every team is tries the 56 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 2: tack edges inside gap zone. 57 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 3: You know, I think each team differs. 58 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 2: But I thought we played some of them, you know, 59 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 2: exactly the way we need to play them, and they 60 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 2: made some good plays on some other ones. 61 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 1: What is it about Kavon? What area have you seen 62 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 1: the biggest improvement with him this year? 63 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:42,799 Speaker 3: Really? All of them. 64 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 2: He's just I've said this before. I got a high 65 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,959 Speaker 2: amount of respect for Kavon. Glad we have him. He's 66 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,240 Speaker 2: made progress since the day he's walked in this door. 67 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 2: He's got a good leadership traits about him. He's a 68 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 2: talented player, he loves the game of football. He's a 69 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:02,640 Speaker 2: great teammate. You know, just glad we I'm glad we 70 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 2: have him. He's really made a lot of progress and 71 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:07,679 Speaker 2: he's he always strives for more. 72 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 3: So he's done a nice job for us to be 73 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:11,639 Speaker 3: standing out about him. 74 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:13,919 Speaker 1: You know, the pressure percentage is and off the church, 75 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 1: but when he gets his opportunities, he's you know, turning 76 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 1: those into sacks. Is there anything you see there a 77 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 1: reason why translating that? 78 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:24,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, No, he's done a good job of finishing on 79 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,799 Speaker 2: the quarterback. Again, he's we ask him to do a 80 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 2: lot of different things in our defense and he welcomes 81 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 2: it with open arms. Again, I can't say enough about 82 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 2: what a good teammate he is, but he's he's made 83 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 2: a lot of progress again since he's been here, and 84 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 2: it's a testament to him, it's a testament. 85 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 3: To the coaches. But he's you know, he's the one 86 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 3: out there doing it. 87 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 5: There's a cliche about defensive backs that they have the 88 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 5: nose for the ball, that they just find interceptions some 89 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 5: of things like that. Is there that for a defensive 90 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 5: lineman like Cavon where he just happens to psistently find 91 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 5: himself a run sack. 92 00:03:57,880 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 3: There's probably some truth to that. Yeah, But I mean 93 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 3: he's again he's doing a. 94 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 2: Good job with our rush plan of how we're Russian players, 95 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 2: you know, whether it's with games pressures. 96 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 3: You know, I give him a lot of credit. But 97 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 3: you know, Drew Dre those guys work with. 98 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 2: Him him a lot, and uh you know, again he's 99 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:18,280 Speaker 2: he's in there on afternoon meetings and they have the 100 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 2: whole defense up there and different guys talk about different things. 101 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 3: It's just a players meeting. It's good to be able 102 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 3: to see him to do that too. I think your 103 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 3: right tackle position. 104 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,280 Speaker 4: Is stabilized now you've had one guy in there. 105 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:30,599 Speaker 3: For a while after Evans got hurt. 106 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think, you know, I think the five of 107 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 2: those guys that have been working together have continually improved. 108 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 3: They're communicating well. 109 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 2: There's obviously certain things we can all do better, but 110 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 2: you know, it's good to have those five guys out 111 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 2: there for consecutive games and all five of them have 112 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 2: done a good job. 113 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 3: What about him particular, the Phillips you know, play a 114 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 3: bunch of games. 115 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, good teammate, good communicator, you know, tries to do 116 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 2: the things we ask him to do on a consistent basis. 117 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,160 Speaker 2: He is out here, he does a great job at 118 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,599 Speaker 2: practice and meetings of doing everything he can do to 119 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 2: be as good as he can be on Sunday or 120 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:07,600 Speaker 2: Monday or whatever it is. 121 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 3: Or is it for a young quarterback to learn in 122 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 3: the job what Tommy's been doing. 123 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,119 Speaker 2: I think for any young player, the more you play, 124 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 2: the more experience you get, the more things you see. 125 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:25,920 Speaker 2: There's always going to be mistakes. There's mistakes for everybody, coaches, players, 126 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 2: I think if you have the right mindset of you know, 127 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 2: he prepares really well. He's in here on his days off, 128 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 2: spends a lot of time with the coaches. He just 129 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 2: he tries to do everything he can do to put 130 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 2: himself in as good a position he can. And again, 131 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 2: as young players, whether it's a receiver, at defensive back, 132 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:48,479 Speaker 2: a quarterback, this is a difficult league, difficult assignments each week, 133 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:53,040 Speaker 2: different game plans you get, coaches are going to gameplan 134 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 2: any different each week, and he just, you know, he's 135 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 2: done a good job of just trying to execute his 136 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 2: job right mindset. Knows he's got things to work on 137 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,719 Speaker 2: like we all do. But you know it comes to 138 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:05,479 Speaker 2: work every day. 139 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 3: The outside world is obviously a friends of the order. 140 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 3: Do you do you have to keep them ground to 141 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 3: do all or does he do that himself. 142 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,279 Speaker 2: He's been pretty consistent with Again, the thing that he 143 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 2: can control we talk about all the time is you know, 144 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 2: how you prepare each week. Each week is a different challenge. 145 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,719 Speaker 2: You know, we've talked about it since OTAs. Each practice 146 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 2: was a different challenge, the limited amount of reps you get, 147 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 2: staying focused on the things that you can control, which 148 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 2: is not always the easiest thing really for anybody. But 149 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 2: he's try to be as consistent as he can. Don't 150 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:41,360 Speaker 2: ride a roller coaster. Try to improve, whether it's your footwork, reads, 151 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:46,279 Speaker 2: creating those plays, whatever that may be. That's that's his mindset. 152 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 2: So he's you know, he's like a sponge. He tries 153 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,480 Speaker 2: to soak everything up. He knows he's got a lot 154 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,679 Speaker 2: to learn, but he handles himself the right way. 155 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 1: We saw a picture, we saw a picture of the 156 00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 1: locker room doing the celebration. You on board with that 157 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:00,920 Speaker 1: as well at. 158 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 2: This point to leave that to those guys, you know, 159 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 2: just trying to put one foot in front of the 160 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 2: other and be as good as we can. Where does 161 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 2: the outside kind of on tell me the outside media 162 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 2: frenzy kind of outside stuff stack up to your career 163 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 2: and what you've seen surround players. With all due respect, 164 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 2: they try to just focus on the things in here, 165 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 2: so and keep our guys as focused as we can 166 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 2: of doing the things we need to try to do. 167 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 2: When when the pass rush, did you get to him 168 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 2: the other night? 169 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 3: It seemed like he wasted no time to just get 170 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:36,239 Speaker 3: out and use his legs. 171 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 2: Did you encourage him prior to the game to do 172 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 2: more of that or was that him Well. 173 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 3: I think he's an instinctive, instinctive player. 174 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 2: But that's something that we talk about with Again, every 175 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 2: quarterback is different that you coach. Everyone has a different 176 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 2: skill set. You know, we try to coach to our 177 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 2: quarterback that's playing. It's something that you know, based on 178 00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 2: who you have had, you you emphasize it, maybe less. 179 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 3: Maybe more. 180 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 2: But you know, he did a good job of preventing 181 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:07,600 Speaker 2: negative plays of getting yards, but he could get them 182 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 2: of staying on tracks so we can stay on schedule. 183 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 3: I think that's important for any offense. But he did. 184 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 3: You know, if guys can run, I. 185 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 2: Encourage him to run and try to take as limitive 186 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,960 Speaker 2: hits as you can, but use your athletic ability to 187 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 2: your strengths. 188 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 3: Try to stay in positive down in distances. 189 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:32,560 Speaker 2: It's easier for everybody, play callers, quarterbacks, skilled players, linemen. 190 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 2: To stay in favorable situations. It's hard to do. There's 191 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 2: a lot of good defenses in this league. But certainly 192 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 2: if you have that ability, go ahead and use it. 193 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 3: He had not done that. He took previous two games, 194 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,560 Speaker 3: you know, he took some sacks. So that was that, 195 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 3: like a really concerted effort. 196 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,320 Speaker 2: To Yeah, I mean we had some sacks, but it 197 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 2: was I mean, again it's secks are a result of everybody, 198 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 2: so something. Yeah, I mean it's everybody from put on everybody. 199 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 2: But again, he's he's improving or he plays. It's not 200 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,440 Speaker 2: always going to happen every time, but they got a 201 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 2: really good rush right now that we're going to have to, 202 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 2: you know, be in a lowed environment and make sure 203 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,600 Speaker 2: we do a good job of, you know, trying to 204 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,720 Speaker 2: stay on schedule the best we can against a really 205 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:21,560 Speaker 2: good defensive coach in DA and some really good players. 206 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 3: A couple you've. 207 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 4: Seen tangible in mckinny's game over the last month that 208 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:28,839 Speaker 4: has allowed him to kind of it seems like he's 209 00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 4: taking it to another level. 210 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:31,319 Speaker 3: He's playing good football. 211 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,080 Speaker 2: You know, he does a great job in the film room, 212 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 2: great job and walkthroughs, been a good leader for us. 213 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,440 Speaker 2: He's played, he's played really i'd say the last month 214 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,680 Speaker 2: of the season high level of football. 215 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 3: We need him to do that.
