1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,560 Speaker 1: Coach. As we talked before practice yesterday, So, um, did 2 00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:06,200 Speaker 1: you ramp up Daniel a little bit more? Did he do? 3 00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:08,280 Speaker 1: Did he show you a little bit more? We you know, 4 00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:10,000 Speaker 1: we're pushing him roll out of How did he come 5 00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:12,080 Speaker 1: out of it? Yeah, we definitely did. We rapped them 6 00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:15,000 Speaker 1: up a little bit putting through a series of drills. Um, look, 7 00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:17,040 Speaker 1: I say this, he's gonna be getting better every day. 8 00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:19,840 Speaker 1: He's working very hard to trainers. Uh. Coming out of 9 00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:22,400 Speaker 1: practice yesterday, there was some progress made. We had a 10 00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:24,440 Speaker 1: long talk with him after practice, long talk with him 11 00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:26,480 Speaker 1: this morning again. You know, we're gonna kind of put 12 00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:28,280 Speaker 1: him through it again today. See how his body responds 13 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:30,720 Speaker 1: with what it was yesterday. Um. You know, look, I'm 14 00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:33,240 Speaker 1: fairly optimistic. At the same time, there's a ways to 15 00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:34,479 Speaker 1: go and we've got to be fair to him. I'm 16 00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:36,040 Speaker 1: gonna talk to the trainers, make sure you know, the 17 00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:37,800 Speaker 1: medical team and the coaching staff are on the same 18 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:40,360 Speaker 1: page that we do the right thing by this guy 19 00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:42,760 Speaker 1: and coach. How about how did he come out of 20 00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:46,080 Speaker 1: the practice Blake, Uh, yeah, fairly well. I mean he 21 00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:48,040 Speaker 1: had to walk through on Wednesday, you know, did mostly 22 00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:50,680 Speaker 1: everything yesterday and practice for the most part. Uh, there 23 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:51,960 Speaker 1: are some things we kind of held them out of 24 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:53,720 Speaker 1: in terms of some of the uh you know, more 25 00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 1: violent rules you as you say, as far as hitting 26 00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,600 Speaker 1: shields and paths and things, um. Other than that, you know, 27 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 1: guy went through practice for the most part forwards, had 28 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,560 Speaker 1: a good day. Check them this morning. We're gonna go 29 00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:04,920 Speaker 1: ahead and see how he is in the training room 30 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 1: in a minute. Those guys just broke meetings. A lot 31 00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:08,319 Speaker 1: of those guys going for the electra treatment before practice. 32 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,480 Speaker 1: Se where he's at today? Hey, are there any benchmarks 33 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:12,639 Speaker 1: or anything you need to see from day today before 34 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,200 Speaker 1: making your decision or something that you weren't able to 35 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 1: see during yesterday's practice. Yeah, I'm more concerned just in 36 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,039 Speaker 1: how his body responds in terms of their all soreness 37 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 1: and how his body responds, you know, physically, to make 38 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 1: sure that this isn't going to go ahead and you 39 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,039 Speaker 1: know roll over that one day over another gonna stack 40 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 1: up and it's gonna be something negative on Sunday. But 41 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 1: you know, see how I moved today relative yesterday. I 42 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,040 Speaker 1: don't necessarily think it necessarily has to be better. I 43 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 1: just want to make sure that it's you know, functional, 44 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 1: and that he can protect himself. You guys ruled him 45 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:42,399 Speaker 1: out pretty early. I guess was he was doubtful last week? 46 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 1: Or do you plan on, you know, carrying that to 47 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 1: game day again potentially to make the decision to see 48 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 1: how he responds to today's practice in a couple of days. Yeah, 49 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 1: I'd say in a perfect world, I'd like to make 50 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 1: the decision before game day. I'd like to know tonight 51 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 1: at the latest for myself if we have to go 52 00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 1: on to tomorrow and do something a little bit extra, 53 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 1: the trainers and so be it. Uh. You know, normally 54 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 1: I like not to do things with guys on Saturdays 55 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 1: if we don't have to. Hi, Letterard, Hey Joe. Because 56 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 1: of your guy, the job you guys are doing four 57 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 1: straight wins, Your name is starting to get mentioned as 58 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 1: a coach of the Year candidate. If you guys continue 59 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 1: on this, Pat Graham's name is getting thrown around as 60 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 1: a head coaching candidate. I just want to know what 61 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,360 Speaker 1: you feel about, uh, kind of those early accolades and 62 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 1: that public response to the job that you and Pat 63 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,680 Speaker 1: and the staff are doing so far. They're I'm pleased 64 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 1: with how the staff and the players are working and 65 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,799 Speaker 1: improving that's really what we're focused on right now. Look, 66 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 1: I mean, your names start getting mentioned around when teams 67 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,360 Speaker 1: have success, and we're just committed the process we have 68 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,079 Speaker 1: to do to success this weekend and going forward. So 69 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 1: those things are all very complimentary. You start reading those 70 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 1: things and believing those things, you'll find yourself in some 71 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:54,800 Speaker 1: different headlines pretty soon. Thanks. Jordan's Hey, Joe, I'm wondering 72 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 1: how confident you are knowing what you you do know 73 00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 1: at this point that Daniel and Blake will both be 74 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 1: ready by Sunday. Yeah, today is gonna be a telltale 75 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 1: sign for both those guys for us. To be honest 76 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 1: with Jordan, I'm not gonna try to put some kind 77 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 1: of percentage on it. Um. I'm optimistic on both those 78 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 1: guys because of you know, number one, the way they're working, 79 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:13,640 Speaker 1: the way they respond at this point with the trainers. 80 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:15,679 Speaker 1: We gotta trust our medical team. I know both guys 81 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 1: will do everything that can to be on the field. 82 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 1: So look, we're playing and preparing right now with plans 83 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 1: for both having both those guys as well as not 84 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:23,840 Speaker 1: having both those guys. So that's something you know, it's 85 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 1: our job to do and make sure we can play accordingly. 86 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 1: And how important is it? I mean, last week you 87 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 1: played a team that had DK Metcalf. This week you're 88 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 1: playing a team that has DeAndre Hopkins. How important is 89 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 1: that for you defensively to have a guy like James Bradberry. Well, 90 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 1: it's huge. But but the thing we try to stress 91 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 1: here as much the same thing is even though we 92 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 1: put certain guys on different receivers as matchups, it's really 93 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 1: gotta be all eleven on the field doing their job. 94 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 1: You know. It's look, it's a whole lot easier covering 95 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 1: a elite receiver when the defensive fronts getting to the quarterback. 96 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 1: It's a whole lot easier, you know, defending that receiver 97 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 1: when the underneath coverage is doing their jobs and the 98 00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 1: limiting those checkdowns. Okay, we're breaking on the ball when 99 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 1: they give it checkdowns and tackling the thing for a 100 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 1: short loss. So again, those guys have all responded, please 101 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 1: with the way they've competely made a lot of progress 102 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 1: to the year and our man and our zone techniques, 103 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 1: you know, especially at the corner position. But um, you know, 104 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 1: we need all eleven really show up. This has to 105 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 1: be a team game for us. This week, Elli, Joe, 106 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 1: I want to ask you about Chase Edmunds, uh Fordham 107 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 1: kid who had a couple of big games here, one 108 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 1: against the Giants last year and one against the Jets. 109 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 1: What does he bring to Arizona's offense, especially as a 110 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 1: pass catcher out of the backfield, and from your experience, 111 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 1: do guys tend to play better in their like quote 112 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 1: unquote homecoming games. Well, I think on the homecoming games themselves. 113 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,480 Speaker 1: I think anytime you let external factors dictate some kind 114 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 1: of emotion or how you prepare for a game, I 115 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,039 Speaker 1: think you're setting yourself up for failure. But you know, 116 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:47,919 Speaker 1: I'd say this guy, wherever he plays, he's definitely a 117 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:51,039 Speaker 1: dynamic player. Looking whether it's on offense, you're running the ball, 118 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 1: catching the ball, or and kick off re turns returning it. 119 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 1: You put the ball in his hands, this guy can 120 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:56,599 Speaker 1: make place for you. You know, he's different than Drake, 121 00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 1: but they're both both very productive. This guy does a 122 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:00,719 Speaker 1: very good job in the passing game. He's a threat 123 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 1: if you get him in space, he's very elusive. He's 124 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,239 Speaker 1: an instinctive runner in space. He understands how to attack 125 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 1: your defenders, leverage and create space, either cut back across 126 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,279 Speaker 1: their face or cut away from him when they create space. 127 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,360 Speaker 1: So you know, this guy is definitely something we focused 128 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,359 Speaker 1: on throughout the week in preparation of knowing where he is, 129 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:16,279 Speaker 1: knowing what they do with him in the game, and 130 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,720 Speaker 1: identifying you know, who's gonna be matched up with him 131 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:20,280 Speaker 1: in certain packages. But we have to do a good 132 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,600 Speaker 1: job with all these players of tackling in space and 133 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 1: playing with control and leverage courts. Hey, Joe, Um, you 134 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 1: weren't here last year obviously, but some of the players were. 135 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 1: The Cardinals came into MetLife Stadium last year and and 136 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 1: and really handed it to the Giants seventeen nothing early. 137 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 1: It was one of their more disappointing, you know, performances. Uh, 138 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 1: how much do you use any of that as far 139 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:47,679 Speaker 1: as the personnel, the lessons with the guys who were back, 140 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 1: and you know, when you study it and say, look, 141 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 1: these guys came into the last year and kicked our butts, 142 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 1: not you, but the players were there. Yeah, I would 143 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:56,840 Speaker 1: say anytime you have any kind of carry over from 144 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 1: an opponent like that that you played last year, it's 145 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 1: important to go ahead and look back and reference more 146 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 1: the matchup piece of maybe how they may try to 147 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 1: go ahead and match up your defenders or offensive players 148 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 1: with someone they have on their roster, and then vice versa, 149 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 1: how you can go ahead and you know, cover a 150 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:11,719 Speaker 1: guy and what success you know that player may have 151 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 1: had last year. That being said, everything else, you know, 152 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 1: we really count as being irrelevant. You know, we always 153 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 1: stressed a team. It's a lessons you learned. So if 154 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 1: you're a player who has matched up on someone the 155 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,719 Speaker 1: year before, again, it may be a different technique, a 156 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:24,839 Speaker 1: different scheme, a different rule. There's a lot of things 157 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 1: that factor and how someone may have played in a 158 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 1: previous you know game. You know, we try to keep 159 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 1: everything very currently looking forward. We don't try to make 160 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,560 Speaker 1: anything about any kind of revenge games or payback games. Look, 161 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,840 Speaker 1: every team is different every year, you know, every coaching staff, 162 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 1: every you know, roster of players. Every year. It's a 163 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 1: unique team, unique situation. So you can't make anything about 164 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 1: the past. That's never really relevant. You get one opportunity 165 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 1: to play a game. You gotta make the most of it. 166 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 1: You know, this year's game against the Cardinals is about 167 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:50,800 Speaker 1: this year's game against the Cardinals, And as you know, 168 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 1: as simple as that sounds that's really have to make 169 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 1: it about. But in any case, we do look back 170 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:56,719 Speaker 1: at you know, familiar tape just to really see the 171 00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:00,480 Speaker 1: personnel matchups more than anything. Paul, thanks to say two 172 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 1: more are don't art? Hey, Joe, I wanted to ask you, 173 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 1: you know, Logan Ryan revealed earlier this week that he 174 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 1: was the one who had the helmet when Blake was 175 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 1: on the sideline. The idea of communicating all the calls. 176 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 1: I'm just curious from your experience, how unique is it 177 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 1: to not have the MIC or or the linebacker with 178 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 1: that UH and have a dB And does that say, 179 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 1: you know, speak volumes about the trust you have in Logan, 180 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 1: not just on the back end, but the entire defense. Well, 181 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 1: I think it does say a lot of about how 182 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 1: we trust Logan and his ability to communicate with the defense. 183 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,320 Speaker 1: He's definitely signal caller force out there. The other thing 184 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 1: about that is, you know, he's very consistent as far 185 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 1: as being on the field, force and multiple packages, very 186 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 1: very rarely to take Logan off the field. So in 187 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 1: terms of giving the secondary helmet to Logan, a lot 188 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 1: of that just fits in terms of this guy is 189 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 1: always out there force the other thing about him is 190 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 1: he's very intelligent, he's articulate, and he can you know, 191 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 1: has command in front of the huddle to communicate. He 192 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 1: also is the one in terms of if they use tempo, 193 00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 1: if we have to make a call before either Pat 194 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 1: gets it in, or if the headset, which does happen 195 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 1: at times, goes out okay, or maybe it's checking the 196 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 1: sideline getting signals. We just know that he can do it. 197 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 1: Now we have several other players that can do it 198 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 1: as well. We work it in practice with multiple players 199 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 1: linebackers and safeties. UM. I don't think it's entirely unique 200 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 1: to have a safety with the headset in the helmet. 201 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 1: I think typically it is a linebacker, normally the mic linebacker, UM. 202 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 1: And we have other mic linebackers on the team that 203 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 1: also on that list of who had the speaker. And 204 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,520 Speaker 1: I think the biggest factor is number one, you know 205 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 1: Logan already being a signal call force, and then number two, 206 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 1: he's on the fields bed all the time anyway, So 207 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 1: if you lose Blake, whether it's for you know, him 208 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,319 Speaker 1: tying the shoes or he is going to use the bathroom, 209 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,679 Speaker 1: you still have Logan on the field than last one 210 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,199 Speaker 1: you do, Hey, Joe, I got two or fourth? You 211 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,960 Speaker 1: don't mind? Uh, you know, Arizona's played the Patriots, the Lions, 212 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,040 Speaker 1: the Dolphins. You obviously have relationships with those coaching staffs, 213 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,440 Speaker 1: do you, you know, pick their brains about common opponents? 214 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 1: How does that work with friends ever around the league? 215 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:55,560 Speaker 1: I think it's more valuable really just to watch the 216 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:57,720 Speaker 1: tape more so than just kind of looking to listen. 217 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,080 Speaker 1: All of our rosters are different, so while you do 218 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,280 Speaker 1: have common friends on different staffs, everybody sees the game 219 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 1: a little bit differently because of who their piece together 220 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,440 Speaker 1: on the roster with to use. To me, it's more 221 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 1: about just watching the tape, and you've got to look 222 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 1: at it in terms of they're probably looking at those 223 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 1: games relative to us to think we're gonna play something similar. 224 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 1: That being said, even though there's a lot of things 225 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 1: from the same tree, i'd say, or the same you 226 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,679 Speaker 1: know system, there's a lot of differences in what we're 227 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:23,679 Speaker 1: doing this year because of who we have on the roster, 228 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,600 Speaker 1: and we've really evolved into what works for us. So 229 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 1: I think each team has done that in their own right, 230 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,439 Speaker 1: so not everything carries over, you know, Miami's game plan, 231 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 1: Detroit's game plan, you know, really is very different from 232 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,440 Speaker 1: how we play with our players. I don't think it's 233 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,200 Speaker 1: any secret to Cliff. I think he watches the tape. 234 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 1: He understands out on the front end, you know, you're 235 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 1: just kind of trying to find similarities of things maybe 236 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 1: they've done that had success that could fit into what 237 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,320 Speaker 1: you're doing. Um, But in terms of just calling coaches 238 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 1: and asking, hey, would you call here? Sometimes I think 239 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 1: that poisons you know what you're gonna do in your 240 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 1: own game plan. I think you have to really trust 241 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,320 Speaker 1: your own instincts because you know your players better than anybody, 242 00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 1: and you have to look at the tape and understand 243 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,320 Speaker 1: how can we use our guys to stop there? Him 244 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,600 Speaker 1: and then Isaiah Simmons, I'm sure he's a guy who 245 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 1: you you know, I spend a lot of time scouting 246 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 1: for the draft. What did you see fro him then? 247 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 1: And what do you see from what he's done this season? Yeah, 248 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,080 Speaker 1: I think he's a very talented player. Um. Obviously he's 249 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 1: a guy that in college, you know, was playing back 250 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:16,200 Speaker 1: deep is a safety, was playing towards the line a 251 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 1: linebacker who's more of a kind of that Rover player 252 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 1: that they used schematically. You know, I think he's doing 253 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 1: a good job when he usn't guy in blitz packages. Um, 254 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,439 Speaker 1: he's a young player, so there's obviously a lot of things. 255 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 1: They're kind of finding homes for him all. But I 256 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 1: think that's evolving as the season is going on. You 257 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 1: see this guy having more of an impact as we go. 258 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,439 Speaker 1: But look, he's a very talented player. There's no doubt 259 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,000 Speaker 1: he's gonna be a very good player in this league. 260 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,079 Speaker 1: I think, like a lot of rookies in this league, 261 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:38,839 Speaker 1: it was no different for any of the guys on 262 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 1: any team that they had to come in and really 263 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 1: kind of get a feel for the speed of the game, 264 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:44,559 Speaker 1: the tempo of the league, and really go ahead and 265 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 1: find their own home going forward.
