1 00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:08,360 Speaker 1: Well, I hope everyone had a good holiday. Um you know, 2 00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:11,120 Speaker 1: you just you see it out here, guys working hard, 3 00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:14,240 Speaker 1: perhaps with great energy, and these are these these guys 4 00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:16,439 Speaker 1: are still focusing on the details. And I've kind of 5 00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:19,120 Speaker 1: said that all along about why I love look working 6 00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:21,560 Speaker 1: with this group is because they have continued to run 7 00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:24,200 Speaker 1: to it ever run from anything. They look at their tape, 8 00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:26,520 Speaker 1: they work to correct the mistakes, They work to get 9 00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:29,360 Speaker 1: better fundamentally and technique wise, and I think that's the 10 00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,159 Speaker 1: thing they're probably looking through the course of the season. 11 00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:34,920 Speaker 1: I've looking back, I appreciate probably the most of this 12 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,599 Speaker 1: group is who you've seen the progress with guys. You've 13 00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:41,120 Speaker 1: seen guys really try to lock in on some very 14 00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:43,400 Speaker 1: specific things in their game and get better at and 15 00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:46,839 Speaker 1: you've progressively seen those things get better, and um uh, 16 00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:49,080 Speaker 1: you know, really appreciate those guys for that and how 17 00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:59,040 Speaker 1: hard they've been working so on game. You know, Um 18 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:01,279 Speaker 1: I the first thing we saw them on is it's 19 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:05,200 Speaker 1: a division game and we want to win games in 20 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,320 Speaker 1: our division. And then the second thing is just is 21 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:12,959 Speaker 1: just the plan, the matchups, the execution, then all the 22 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,880 Speaker 1: things after that, that's you know what the players will 23 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 1: have conversation about how much do you change game. Yeah, 24 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:30,840 Speaker 1: there's there's certainly a balance because it is recent and 25 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 1: you believe in some of the stuff that you you UM, 26 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:35,680 Speaker 1: that you were doing in the game. Then you also 27 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,160 Speaker 1: look at you know, whether it's um injuries that they 28 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,039 Speaker 1: might have or how maybe how they've shifted using some 29 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,479 Speaker 1: different personnel in the last couple of weeks, which they've done, 30 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 1: and UM, you try to just build your plan based 31 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 1: off of based off of kind of both thoughts, the 32 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 1: early season thoughts then these last you know, two weeks 33 00:01:53,000 --> 00:02:00,840 Speaker 1: since we played them. When guy, Yeah, I think one 34 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:04,280 Speaker 1: of the things is they have to really UM dynamic 35 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 1: targets and the two tight ends, like those guys, UM 36 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:10,799 Speaker 1: whether the balls going there or the ball is going 37 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 1: somewhere else, you have to account for those guys and 38 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 1: some of the routes that they're able to run. These 39 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,520 Speaker 1: guys they run receiver type routes and that they do 40 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 1: a great job of creating separation and space on the routes, 41 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 1: and they're they're very um detail in the way they 42 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,240 Speaker 1: run it. And UM then overall, you know, those they 43 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 1: do a nice job running the ball on first and 44 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 1: second down to try to create some two to six 45 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,800 Speaker 1: is where UM on that third and two or that 46 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 1: third and three, just like when we face when we 47 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 1: play them, they're gonna try to run the ball too 48 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 1: and and keep you on your toes in regards to that, 49 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 1: and UM that that helps them have a good balance mix. 50 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 1: But I say, the first thing that pops into my 51 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 1: mind is is the two tight ends. You've got a 52 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:55,959 Speaker 1: chance to ce Marcus Golden again this year. Uh looks 53 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 1: to us at least that he's back to sort of 54 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 1: his previous form. And what's have been like watching him 55 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:06,240 Speaker 1: and what it's you know, for me, that one's personal 56 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 1: because I have such a great relationship with him, haven't 57 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 1: worked with him when he was a rookie, coming in 58 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,920 Speaker 1: and seeing you know, that first year, how hard he 59 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,639 Speaker 1: worked to go from just being a four three defensive 60 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 1: end at Missouri to learning how to do some different 61 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 1: things in this league. That that UM that whether that's 62 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 1: dropping or understand the leverage or um just picking up 63 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 1: the scheme. And I saw how hard he worked, how 64 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 1: important is to him and UM I just then to 65 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 1: watch you know, the injury, you know, going into a 66 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 1: year where he had big plans for himself, in Arizona, 67 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 1: and we had big plans for him, and then coming 68 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 1: off that injury and continuing to battle, and you know, 69 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 1: a knee turns into an ankle, turns into another injury, 70 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 1: and seemed come into this season and just have a 71 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 1: chance to play the game healthy, have a chance to 72 00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 1: play as hard as he can, as long as he 73 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 1: can during the horse of the game. And UM, you know, 74 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 1: I'll I'll forever be a Marcus Golden fan and um 75 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 1: be one of his biggest supporters and and UM, you 76 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 1: know he he's he's done a heck of a job 77 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 1: for us this year, and I think he's anxious to 78 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:17,600 Speaker 1: go finish. What has he where do you see the 79 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:23,280 Speaker 1: deput guys back that was um, I think just the burst, 80 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 1: the burst, um, the power that he's able to play with. Um, 81 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,920 Speaker 1: he when he rushes, and Mars might be the first 82 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,479 Speaker 1: one to tell you he's he's a bloody rusher. And 83 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 1: to be able to have his power back UM from 84 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:36,920 Speaker 1: his lower half of his body, then just be able 85 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,040 Speaker 1: to have the burst when he might separate from a 86 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:40,920 Speaker 1: blocker and be able to you know, the first two 87 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:44,479 Speaker 1: steps off the block. That burst is important for guys 88 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 1: like Marcus and UM, you know you can see that 89 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 1: back then. I think with that comes confidence. You know, 90 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 1: confidence comes because you feel good and you're able to 91 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 1: do some of the things you know you've been able 92 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,839 Speaker 1: to do in your career. And UM, and his confidence 93 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,120 Speaker 1: once he got his confidence going, you know, he he's 94 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,599 Speaker 1: been he's been pretty dynamic. James. Do you think you 95 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 1: know we've talked a lot about the young defensive backs. 96 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 1: You play almost all of them. Um, do you look 97 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 1: at them and say they are good NFL players? Maybe 98 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,920 Speaker 1: not right now, but in a year or two wherever 99 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 1: they are you know the deal and Valentine and Baker, 100 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,040 Speaker 1: you know the love. I guess to a certain extent, 101 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 1: these are all going to be legitimate NFL players. I 102 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 1: think all of those guys are certainly trending that way. 103 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 1: And UM, I think we kind of talked about this. 104 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,720 Speaker 1: This is probably early in the season. UM. I've been 105 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,360 Speaker 1: around in enough in this league to know that. UM, 106 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:35,159 Speaker 1: you can't you know whether it's uh one of those guys. 107 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 1: You might if you said he didn't have a good 108 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 1: rookie season or he didn't have a good second year. Um. 109 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 1: Players develop at different rates, and that might be just 110 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 1: them learning things at a different rate than other players, 111 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 1: that maybe their bodies physically maturing at a different rate 112 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,160 Speaker 1: than other players. And um, I don't think there will 113 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 1: be a true assessment that till two year two, year 114 00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 1: three with some of the guys, and and that's the 115 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:00,920 Speaker 1: same probably with some of our second year players. It 116 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,279 Speaker 1: will be year three then. Um. We all know pass 117 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 1: rushers that's year three and four. We've seen that with 118 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 1: um some guys that that are now this year having 119 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,159 Speaker 1: really great years that some people probably try to write 120 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 1: them off earlier in their careers. And that's just the 121 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:19,360 Speaker 1: development thing. It's strength, it's physicality, it's technique, it's fundamentals, um, 122 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 1: it's all the things that at this at this level. 123 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 1: Um No. And I know I've said this before, Like 124 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:29,160 Speaker 1: for instance, as a corner, the releases these receivers in 125 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 1: the NFL are able to give you are so different 126 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,279 Speaker 1: than the college receivers. And that's just because they're faster, 127 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,040 Speaker 1: and they're all physical, and they're and most of them 128 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 1: are pretty tough, and the be able to play from 129 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,720 Speaker 1: press is different for those guys. The same thing with 130 00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 1: Russian uh Um, an offensive tackle in this league, he's 131 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 1: the most athletic guy that you might have rushed against 132 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 1: in college, and some of the things you might have 133 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:53,280 Speaker 1: gotten away with you can't get away with. And you've 134 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 1: gotta narrow those techniques down. Then the second piece of 135 00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:58,719 Speaker 1: all that is narrow the techniques at the position that 136 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:02,359 Speaker 1: match you, match your body type, match your skill set, 137 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,480 Speaker 1: what do you do well, and understanding how you can 138 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 1: use your tools. Um uh to go compete on on 139 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 1: a weekend, week out basis. But I think all these 140 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 1: guys are really progressing, and I really believe that they're progressing. 141 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 1: Their arrows are up, and um you know, I'm anxious 142 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 1: to coaching the meat and every day you sense an 143 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 1: anxiousness among your players to have a chance to get 144 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 1: back at the Eagles fairly quickly after what happened last time. Yeah, 145 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 1: I think so. I think these guys are anxious to 146 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:30,680 Speaker 1: go out and competing and they've been They've been that 147 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,640 Speaker 1: way every week. They've been that way every week, and 148 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 1: in the way we're prepared and the way we've worked, 149 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 1: and um, we just gotta make a couple more plays 150 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 1: in the second half.
