1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,080
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you about Ryan Izzo when what

2
00:00:02,080 --> 00:00:04,760
Speaker 1: you've seen from his progression and just how key it

3
00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:06,080
Speaker 1: was for him to be able to fight through some

4
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:11,160
Speaker 1: adversity and give you some quality snaps yesterday. UM, yeah,

5
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:14,560
Speaker 1: it was very important with UM, you know, James was

6
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:19,919
Speaker 1: inactive and Lacosse was inactive. UM, so it was certainly

7
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 1: good to have Ryan out there. UM. He's you know,

8
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 1: shown good toughness playing through UM some being a little

9
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 1: bit banged up, but he's been out there, and UM,

10
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,479
Speaker 1: I thought he certainly gave us some you know, some

11
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 1: important plays yesterday. UM. You know, young player, a lot

12
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 1: of things he needs to continue to work on, but

13
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 1: he works hard. He's out there, you know, trying to

14
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:47,199
Speaker 1: do all he can every day to get better, and

15
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: so he's making progress. Thank you, You're welcome. My next

16
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 1: question Mike. The tracks all by Mike Cherry. Hi coach,

17
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: how are you? Good night? I wanted to ask you

18
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: along Jim Line, questioning about Ryan and play action PATHUM

19
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 1: early in that game, and obviously Ryan and Tom made

20
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:16,959
Speaker 1: it look so easy, but what are the details that

21
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 1: go into selling that play correctly? And UM, if you

22
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: could Ryan's role in UM selling that play to get

23
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: himself so wide open. Um. Yeah, Michael Nagan is really

24
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: pretty much the way you described it, and as a

25
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: play action and light run action and then it becomes

26
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:37,319
Speaker 1: a path after that. So you know, just the element

27
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: of being aggressive and and selling the run and then

28
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 1: the timing of releasing and being able to get into

29
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: the open space before the the guys who are playing

30
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: the run can get to the quarterback. That was very

31
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 1: very well, it's excute it blood and well the mine,

32
00:01:55,600 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: by god, we'll go Mike Tiardi, followed by Tom Keaton. Bill, Bill,

33
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: you described the various points during your tenure year as

34
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 1: players in different categories ascending, he's sending you know, guys

35
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 1: that are sort of steady. Where does Philip Gore said

36
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: fit into that, into that sort of uh systems if

37
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: you will. Oh, Phil's done a great job for us.

38
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 1: He's been um versil and very dependable. His roles changed,

39
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: um many times. Um. He's played inside, he's played outside,

40
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 1: he's playing on early downs, he's played on third down

41
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: in two minutes. Um. You know, he's been kind of

42
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 1: a motion player or a perimeter player. So Phil's really good,

43
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:48,639
Speaker 1: a good skill study's he's very smart, very dependable, and um,

44
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: you know, he's just come through for US um week

45
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: after week, you know, year after year, uh, in many

46
00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 1: critical junctures, in in games and in seasons and times

47
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,359
Speaker 1: his roles changed during the game or certainly from game

48
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 1: to game. But we can even be in a game

49
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 1: and like yesterday and you know when Julian went out.

50
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 1: You know, Phil's role change a little bit on certain plays.

51
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 1: But he's he's very well prepared and has a great

52
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 1: position versatility and a mental flexibility to handle a lot

53
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 1: of different roles in assignments. So he's very very valuable

54
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: player for US. Phil. If I made with a quick

55
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 1: following that he came in as a you know, with

56
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: the reputation of being a speed receiver, just how have

57
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: you seen him grow as a you know, as a

58
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: technician if you will, and route running and even it

59
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 1: appears improving his hands. Yeah again, Phil works very hard

60
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: on whatever you ask him to do. So whatever the

61
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: whatever the role is or the route or the assignment,

62
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 1: he works very hard to understand what you want and

63
00:03:56,040 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 1: take extra time to refine his skills and act to

64
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: sit to get a better I have a ton of

65
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 1: respect for Phil and his approach to the game. I

66
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: think everybody else around here does too, all the players

67
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 1: and staff members. Just he's so professional the way he

68
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: goes about things, and it always wants to try to

69
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 1: do it's best for the team. And we see that,

70
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 1: you know, every day on the practice field and around

71
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: the building, so in a lot of different areas. But

72
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: he's you know, the scout team. Whatever you need him

73
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 1: for and then whatever he's hat to do on Sunday,

74
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 1: he and he's always well prepared and give you the best.

75
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: And that's all you can ask for. Thanks Bill, You're welcome, Mike. Alright,

76
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 1: Next question, Tom Keagan falled by Mike Reeks. What are

77
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 1: some of the toughest challenges for a rookie wide receiver

78
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 1: and how do you think Jacobe Myers is going about learning? Yeah, well, Thomas,

79
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: it's you know, the transition from you know, college the

80
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 1: NFL at that position is a big one. A lot

81
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 1: more coverages, a lot tighter coverage, a lot more route

82
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:12,160
Speaker 1: adjustments because of the variety of coverages and techniques and

83
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:17,720
Speaker 1: you know, leverage and so forth that the defenders will play.

84
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: Like yesterday, the Jets played a lot of Cover two,

85
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,839
Speaker 1: but they they had two or three different ways of

86
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,719
Speaker 1: the way they played it, Um, and it kind of

87
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 1: looks the same, but it's not the same, and it

88
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: really can affect the receiver's rules and its adjustments because

89
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 1: it just it looks differently. So, you know, experience and

90
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:50,040
Speaker 1: understanding concepts and understanding route concepts and route coverages are

91
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 1: a big that's a big area of growth for the

92
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 1: for the passing game in general, whether it's receivers, tight ends,

93
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: backs in the passing game, quarterbacks and all the guys

94
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: is defended on the other side of the ball. UM.

95
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 1: But Kobe works hard and he's another guy that's done

96
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,840
Speaker 1: everything we've asked him to do. Um. He's taking a

97
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: lot of snaps. He's out there every day. He's a

98
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 1: tough kid, Um, and he just keeps working hard and

99
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 1: he's get you know, he gets better. He's improved quite

100
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 1: a bit, still got a long way to go. Um.

101
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 1: It's a lot of a lot of football in front

102
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 1: of him. But he's you know, he's made good, steady progress.

103
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,039
Speaker 1: And you know, if he continues to go about things

104
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 1: that same kind of work ethic and and positive attitude

105
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 1: and you know, thirst for knowledge, that and he'll he'll

106
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: continue to get better. Thank you. Are you welcome Tom?

107
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: Next question Mike Greecewell by Max Ruo. Thanks Bill you.

108
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: The team was assigned Yakob Johnson on April eighth as

109
00:06:56,240 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 1: part of that international Pathway program, and when he was

110
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,919
Speaker 1: promoted Saturday, I was curious just to learn more on

111
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 1: if he was a player that you think might have

112
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 1: been on the radar as a free agent signing, or

113
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: if his promotion is really a reflection of that international

114
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 1: program helping a player that maybe otherwise wouldn't have been

115
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 1: on the radar, you know, first have an opportunity and

116
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 1: give himself a chance to improve to get that promotion.

117
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 1: Do you see what I'm saying there? Yeah, one hundred percent.

118
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 1: That's a great question and I want to try to

119
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 1: answer it the right way. First of all, No, he

120
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 1: was not on a radar. I don't think we would

121
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 1: have ever signed him. And when there were the players

122
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: who were kind of listed, there were a group of

123
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 1: players that fell into this category, and we looked at

124
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: that group. It was kind of like anybody here, you

125
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 1: want um and so um. Based on some research and

126
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: follow up at Tennessee, UM, it really butch Butch recommended

127
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 1: him to me. UM, and we don't really know much

128
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 1: about the other guys, and UM, I can't say that

129
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 1: we were excited to have him, but based on what

130
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 1: Butch said, you know, it felt like he was a

131
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 1: good player to work with. UM, would work hard, would

132
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 1: really try to get better. UM, you know, was a

133
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,559
Speaker 1: good teammate and all those things that he had showed

134
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 1: a Tennessee and I would say he he definitely started

135
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 1: out as the ninety first player on the roster um

136
00:08:55,160 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 1: and had a long, long, long way to go back

137
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: in the spring. I don't think anybody ever envisioned him

138
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 1: being on the roster at that point, or even being

139
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 1: on the practice squad, tell the truth. But he continued

140
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: to get better, and he certainly his physicality and his

141
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 1: toughness showed up in the preseason games and in the

142
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:23,199
Speaker 1: preseason practices, you know, against Detroit and Tennessee. And so

143
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,680
Speaker 1: he steadily worked his way into to call the backup

144
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:34,439
Speaker 1: fullback role and and was activated for the game yesterday.

145
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:39,440
Speaker 1: So he's I wouldn't say, let's be quite a Steve

146
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 1: Neil rise, but you know, somewhere in that neighborhood, that's

147
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:52,439
Speaker 1: what he's done has been remarkable and in a relatively

148
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:56,439
Speaker 1: short period of time. But he's he works extremely hard.

149
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 1: He's one of the first players here every morning he's

150
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 1: studies his no cards. He seems sitting in the dining

151
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 1: room to studying no cards going over his place. He

152
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 1: puts literally every ounce of energy he has into into

153
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 1: this job and into our team, and he's totally earned

154
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 1: everybody's respect and for that. Um, he's a young player.

155
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 1: He's got a long way to go. There's a lot

156
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 1: of room for improvement, but he works very hard at it.

157
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:36,079
Speaker 1: Thank you, Hey, welcome Mike. Next question, Max Rulabo, Phil Parton, Hi, Bill,

158
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: Um wanted to ask about the run defense. UM, just

159
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:40,679
Speaker 1: wanted to get your take on what are the key

160
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 1: elements needed to have a successful run defense and what

161
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 1: have you seen from your group that's made it so

162
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 1: successful so far. Oh well, it's you know again, run

163
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 1: defense is team defense. So you knew, everybody doing their

164
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 1: job against a good back, especially against guy like bell

165
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 1: Um you know, or Drake last week or guys like that,

166
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 1: they only need one you know, they only need one

167
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 1: hole to get through and they don't need three or four.

168
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 1: So everybody's got to do a good job. It starts

169
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 1: with you know, all offensive coordinators are you know, Adam

170
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: and Chad and Randy from Pittsburgh Game and coach Table

171
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 1: this week of Buffalo. They all have good schemes and

172
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 1: everybody's going to be blocked. It's not like there's going

173
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 1: to be any free players there. So it really comes

174
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,839
Speaker 1: down to defeating blockers and then doing a good job

175
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 1: of tackling. And all the different schemes and everything that

176
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: you can draw up, they're all relevant, but in the end,

177
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 1: and you've got to defeat blocks and be able to

178
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 1: defense space and tackle the guy with the ball. So

179
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 1: we have a lot of good players. The reason anything

180
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 1: that we do that's good is because we have good

181
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 1: players and they play well and they execute the defense

182
00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 1: on the field. So that's that's what defensive football is about,

183
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 1: is about teamwork and total team execution and good players.

184
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 1: And so we're fortunately have have good players and they've

185
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 1: played well. Thanks spelt, Yeah, you're welcome. Two final questions,

186
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:19,559
Speaker 1: will do Phil Perry and Mike Petracker go ahead to

187
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 1: philm hey Bill wanted to follow up on something that

188
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:29,680
Speaker 1: Rick Burke had said yesterday afternoon after the game, mentioned

189
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 1: that maybe he could be a little bit more decisive

190
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 1: in how he's attacking his carries as a runner, And

191
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: just wanted to ask you obviously know Deblin yesterday, how

192
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 1: does how does not having a fullback as part of

193
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 1: the mix maybe impacts the decisiveness of your running backs?

194
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 1: And have you viewed running back the sitiveness overall as

195
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 1: something that maybe has limited the production in the running game?

196
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 1: Thus start all right, Well, I think the running game

197
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:06,680
Speaker 1: offensively mirrors the run run defense that we just talked about.

198
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:12,679
Speaker 1: So m again, it comes down to team execution and

199
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:17,440
Speaker 1: that includes everybody. It includes the the point of attack blockers,

200
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 1: the backside blockers, all the perimeter players, tight ends, receivers,

201
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 1: and possibly a lead back or not a lead back.

202
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 1: I mean sometimes we have those players on our running

203
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 1: plays and sometimes we don't. So that's not a It's

204
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 1: not like every run comes with a fullback, but some

205
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 1: do and some don't, or or a lead back doesn't

206
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 1: have to be a fullback, but some type of lead

207
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:49,679
Speaker 1: back player. So that's um. You know, each plays its

208
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:56,960
Speaker 1: own entity and the blocking and the see reading of

209
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:58,839
Speaker 1: the blocks and all that. Even though you run the

210
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 1: same play over and over again, end and that's why

211
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 1: some coaches, and rightfully so believe in just repetition, repetition,

212
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:11,679
Speaker 1: repetition Woody Hayes and Oshan Blecoer and guys like that.

213
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 1: I mean, run the same play over and over and

214
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 1: over again for a year for a year, but it's

215
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:18,959
Speaker 1: each plays a little bit different. And the recognition and

216
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 1: the timing between the blockers and a runner, and the

217
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 1: defense and the leverage they have and the space that's

218
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 1: created us, all that's different on every play. It's the same.

219
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 1: There's a general you know, there's a general framework, but

220
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 1: it's different on every play. So we just have to

221
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 1: do a better job of you know, executing our our

222
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 1: running game and and just trying to get a little

223
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 1: more production out of it. But I mean, in the end,

224
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 1: if we can throw and throw the ball and move

225
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 1: the ball and score points, that's fine too, if that's

226
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 1: what's available. But I mean, at some point we're gonna

227
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 1: we're gonna need to, you know, if we prove our

228
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 1: running game, and so we'll keep working on. Thank you. Yeah,

229
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 1: you're welcome. Phil. Kind a final question, Michaul Dragon, kind

230
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: of along the lines of what you just answered to

231
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 1: fill about the repetition versus working as a coaching staff

232
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 1: to disguise runs. What is the balance there, especially early

233
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 1: in the game, if you feel like maybe the holes

234
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 1: aren't there and we got to do something to loosen

235
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 1: up and maybe you know the opposite of play action pass,

236
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 1: show pass and maybe run like a draw play. How

237
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 1: much discussion is there in the coaching staff with regard

238
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 1: to that. Yeah, well there's always there's always um discussion

239
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 1: in your game plan for a complimentary play. So you know,

240
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 1: runs and play actions and passes and draws and screens

241
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 1: and things like that, plays that compliment each other. I

242
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 1: think anytime you're doing, you know, a good amount of one,

243
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 1: you want to make sure that you have a complimentary

244
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 1: play to go with it, or more than one play

245
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 1: to go with it. So yeah, that's definitely part of it.

246
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 1: In the end, whatever play you call, you know, it

247
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 1: has to have a design that allows it to be

248
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 1: competitive against the defense or the offense, whichever way it's going,

249
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 1: and then it has to be executed well. So if

250
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 1: there are some plays it just had no chance. If

251
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 1: you're in a bad coverage against a certain pattern, if

252
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 1: you're in a bad running play against a certain defense,

253
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 1: it's just you know, I don't care, it's just not

254
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 1: going to go well. So that's something that you know,

255
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 1: we have to try to as a coaching staff prevent

256
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 1: at all costs where we just don't have a chance

257
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 1: on the play. And then there may be occasionally some

258
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 1: places where you have an advantage and hopefully you can

259
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 1: exploit that. But you know, the majority of the plays

260
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 1: really come down to you know, it's a pretty even fight,

261
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 1: and it comes down to execution. And so that's a

262
00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 1: team execution, not not always one on one execution. You're

263
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 1: not in the running game, um, But it just comes

264
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,640
Speaker 1: down to team execution. And so we're going to continue

265
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:09,959
Speaker 1: to work hard to improve that execution all the way

266
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 1: across the board. And as far as a play calling though,

267
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 1: there's yeah, I mean there's always an element of balance

268
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 1: in there. You know, if something's going well, you want

269
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 1: to you don't want to just give up on it.

270
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 1: And if it's going well, but on the other hand,

271
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:27,879
Speaker 1: there's a point where you want to have a complimentary

272
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:31,879
Speaker 1: play or plays to that. Um that's the defense just

273
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,920
Speaker 1: ken zero and on one thing. So that's you know,

274
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 1: that's a good play callers like Josh do Is, they're

275
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 1: they're able to find that right balance between when to

276
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 1: stay with something that's working UH and when to go

277
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 1: to something else because the defense is starting to um

278
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 1: anticipate or overplay something you've had successful. Great. Thank you, Bill,

279
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 1: Thanks for patients there there, You're welcome. My no problem.

280
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 1: Thanks Coach, thanks everyone, Thank you great. Talk to you

281
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 1: tomorrow
