1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:05,800 Speaker 1: Morning, Brian Deathing after the game last night, I'm talking about, 2 00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:08,280 Speaker 1: you know, sort of how the second half went, and 3 00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:10,920 Speaker 1: I'm sort of paraphrasing, but we didn't do a really 4 00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:13,520 Speaker 1: good job once that game became a two minute sort 5 00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:17,120 Speaker 1: of game. Uh, I'm just curious from your perspective, how 6 00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:19,320 Speaker 1: do you how do you improve that? Is that large? 7 00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:23,800 Speaker 1: You're just based on communication? And I don't know, how 8 00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:30,120 Speaker 1: do you view that? I think that and like anything, 9 00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:32,240 Speaker 1: I think that starts in you know, on the practice field, 10 00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:35,519 Speaker 1: in the film room. Um, obviously we'll take a look 11 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:37,680 Speaker 1: at it, always take a look at it, um, and 12 00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:39,800 Speaker 1: just kind of get an understanding of the mistakes we 13 00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:44,120 Speaker 1: made and some of the things we can do better. Um. 14 00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:45,800 Speaker 1: You know, they got a good quarterback and they made 15 00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,839 Speaker 1: a couple of plays there. Um. But um, at the 16 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:50,440 Speaker 1: same time, you know, we could have played some of 17 00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,599 Speaker 1: those things better. So we'll just works im through those 18 00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,040 Speaker 1: areas a two minutes really but not just that two 19 00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:58,800 Speaker 1: minute third down red zone, the whole You know, there's 20 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,080 Speaker 1: so much we can prove on and and um, obviously 21 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:05,319 Speaker 1: it starts with coaching. Um, you know, obviously, you know, 22 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,200 Speaker 1: putting our our guys in a good position to make 23 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 1: players and you know, will continue to work to do 24 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,560 Speaker 1: that the following day. Is that frustrating for you in 25 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:15,960 Speaker 1: the sense that you know, first half and the way 26 00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 1: you guys played and you were appear from where we 27 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,960 Speaker 1: were sitting, you were dominating them to obviously the nights 28 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,400 Speaker 1: of the game tames they're playing catch up. But that 29 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 1: sort of can't necessarily carry that through for four quarters 30 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,920 Speaker 1: in that game. Well, it's always a goal to you know, 31 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,840 Speaker 1: be consistent all the way throughout the game. Um, but 32 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:37,679 Speaker 1: you know, it's like what I tell tell our players, 33 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,959 Speaker 1: just there's never been a perfect game play to football. 34 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 1: And you know, we we uh you know, obviously we 35 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 1: we that that was the case last night. We um, 36 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 1: you know, didn't play as well in the second half, 37 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 1: and um, you know, we just gotta do it. We 38 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 1: just got to do a much better job. And um, 39 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 1: you know, once the game changes like that, we got 40 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 1: to be able to adjust better than we did. And um, 41 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 1: you know, hopefully we uh we learned from that, and 42 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 1: you know, next time we get in that situation, we'll 43 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 1: be better practical. Bizarre followed by um, Mike curryall and 44 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 1: coached just was talking to Jason Accordion Stefan Gilmore last 45 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 1: night after the game, and they just pointed out the 46 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 1: fact that they have some much experience between the two 47 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 1: of them, you know, Indian, how I guess comforting or useful? 48 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,240 Speaker 1: Is it? You know? Really in the whole secondary that 49 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 1: have so much NFL period, I think that's you know, 50 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 1: for me, that's you know, it's a that's that's you know, 51 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 1: I really I enjoyed teaching that entire group, whether it's 52 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 1: it's Jason, the Stefan, the Chung, the Devin, the harm In, 53 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,239 Speaker 1: the John Jones, that whole group, UM to include the 54 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 1: young guys who kind of come along for us, J C. 55 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 1: Keenan Crossing, you know, Nate. Um, there's a lot of 56 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 1: experience in that group. UM. You know, we can come 57 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:20,360 Speaker 1: to the sideline and UM change a matchup, Uh, change 58 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,919 Speaker 1: how we want to play, you know, a bunch of formation, 59 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 1: and we can we can do you know a multitude 60 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 1: of things with that group because they're so experienced and 61 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,799 Speaker 1: because they they work well together. UM. So you know, 62 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:33,959 Speaker 1: it's a comforting for me to be able to walk 63 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 1: over and say, hey, look we need to make this adjustment, um, 64 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 1: and just talk talk it through you know, for a 65 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 1: couple of minutes and they've got it. Um. So you know, 66 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 1: as a coach, you know I can't. You know, That's 67 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 1: that's all you're asked. That's all. It's all you want. 68 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 1: You know, you want to be able to make those 69 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 1: types of adjustment and have the guys execute it on 70 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 1: the field. Um. And those guys, you know, they they 71 00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 1: do a good job of you know, going through or 72 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 1: they understand and that those adjustments need to be made. 73 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 1: I should say that, and they do a good job 74 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 1: of trying to execute on a field. Thanks, and we'll 75 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 1: go to Mike pel Cragley. Sorry about that. Mike called 76 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 1: by Mike. No worries, They say, morning, Brian, how are you? 77 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 1: And Mike? Um. I think it was in training camp 78 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 1: when dun Taie Tower said that one thing he really 79 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 1: enjoys about playing in your defense is the emphasis on 80 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,279 Speaker 1: speed and communication and flying around to the ball. Curious 81 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:37,839 Speaker 1: to get your thoughts after five games, if the speed 82 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,480 Speaker 1: of the defense and the flying to the ball is 83 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:42,920 Speaker 1: about where you would expect it to be and what 84 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 1: improvements could be made in that area? I would say, 85 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 1: you know, we want to be a tough, aggressive, fast team. 86 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,920 Speaker 1: There's always room for improvement in those areas. I think 87 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 1: we've you know, something we talk about every day, something 88 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 1: we you know, we harp on we want the guys 89 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,279 Speaker 1: to play fast, we wanted to play free, we wanted 90 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 1: to play aggressive. I think we've gotten that, um at 91 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 1: a more consistent level. But I think you know, there's 92 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 1: there's always We're always looking for more. We're always looking 93 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 1: for more improvement. We're always looking for more consistency. So 94 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 1: you know, we'll just continue to coach that. You know, 95 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,600 Speaker 1: I think our coaches, you know, the staff we do it. 96 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 1: We do a great the staff does a great job 97 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,920 Speaker 1: of trying to get that you know, of conveying that 98 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 1: message i'd say, and then we try to get that 99 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 1: out of him in practice, and it you know, it's 100 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 1: shown up. You know, it's in the games, and then 101 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 1: hopefully it continues to do so. And it's again it's 102 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 1: something that again you can talk about it, you can 103 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:49,720 Speaker 1: say this is how we want to do it. But 104 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 1: we got to be able to obviously execute perform on 105 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 1: the field on Sundays with Thursdays a lesson because the 106 00:05:55,520 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 1: case was last night. So um, that's the goal every week. No, Yeah, 107 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,480 Speaker 1: and hopefully we we we continue to play that way 108 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: and we can't play it that way. Yeah, can I 109 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,280 Speaker 1: fall up real quick, Brian, There's a fine line, of 110 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 1: course between playing between playing fast and staying true to 111 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 1: your commit your responsibilities with it, you know, the defense. 112 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 1: Do you think that the guys are getting more and 113 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 1: more comfortable with that? I mean, obviously you know the 114 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 1: mantra around, here's do your job. Um. So yeah, we 115 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 1: need those guys to do their job, but we need 116 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 1: to do it at a fast and aggressive and um, 117 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:41,920 Speaker 1: you know, a violent pace. So that's kind of, uh, 118 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 1: the way we talk about it and how we frame 119 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:48,599 Speaker 1: it is. You know, look, everybody's got a responsibility. Let's 120 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:53,360 Speaker 1: do our job. That's everybody. It's coaches as players, it's trainers, 121 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:58,720 Speaker 1: it's you know everyone. Um, and then uh, let's do it, 122 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 1: you know in the field, Let's be ask, let's be aggressive, 123 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 1: letus know what we're doing, let's fly around and well 124 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 1: that's kind of how we we we want to play. 125 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 1: And you know, in order to do that, we gotta 126 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 1: have a great communication. We gotta have everybody you know, 127 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 1: on the same page. I'm all eleven guys, which again 128 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 1: in football, it's a tough thing to do. Is got 129 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 1: eleven guys on the same page. You'll play after play 130 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 1: after play, do that consistently. Um. But you know if 131 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 1: we if we can do that, which you know we've 132 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 1: done in pockets. Um, and that's why we're playing at 133 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 1: our best. Terrific. Thanks Brian, Mike Reece, followed by Philip 134 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 1: Perry Ahead, Mike, Thanks Stecy, Brian. To the layman here, 135 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 1: from the outside looking in, it looks like maybe the 136 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 1: last two weeks that Kyle Van Noi has played a 137 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 1: little bit more on the line of scrimmage. Um. If 138 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 1: if you agree with that, I'm curious how you feel 139 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 1: he's adjusted to that and knowing that he has a 140 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 1: skill set to do that. Um, you know what you 141 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 1: see from him as you work him in that role. Uh, 142 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 1: I'd say Kyle probably one of our most versatile players. Um. 143 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 1: They can play a variety of roles and you know 144 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 1: that will change week to week. Um, but I'd say 145 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 1: he's playing he's playing really well. Um. Again, this Kyle's 146 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 1: the guy who works hard. He's smart, he's committed to 147 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 1: the team, he's a great teammate, he's selfless. Um, it's 148 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 1: important to him Um, it's important that you know, he 149 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 1: does his job, you know, for for this team. I 150 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:30,400 Speaker 1: mean it's something he talks about all the time. He's 151 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 1: really taken on a leadership role for this group. And 152 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 1: you know, I really appreciate the way he works, and um, 153 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 1: you know, the way all all our guys work. But 154 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 1: you know again, UM, we've had some guys kind of 155 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:47,840 Speaker 1: step up, um and take on you know, more responsibility, 156 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 1: more roles, more leadership. He's definitely one of them. Um, 157 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 1: And uh, you know it's really important to him. So 158 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:56,719 Speaker 1: I'm happy for the successes he's had and you know, 159 00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 1: hopefully we continue to to go move in that direct. 160 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,079 Speaker 1: And Brian, this this might be a little bit of 161 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 1: a false start here, have you. Are you into Kansas 162 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 1: City yet by any chance? Are you just still cleaning 163 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:12,120 Speaker 1: up from the colts um? Well, today is about I 164 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 1: was cleaning up the colts um. But I've taken I've 165 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:17,960 Speaker 1: taken a quick look at those guys. So I mean 166 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 1: they're obviously a very good team, UM, very good skill 167 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:27,079 Speaker 1: players's Kelsey, a tire Hill and Holmes. I mean, these 168 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 1: guys are their their their plan, They're playing at a 169 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 1: high level right now. So that's gonna be a big challenge, 170 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 1: so taking up a quick look, I have not havn't 171 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,760 Speaker 1: dove into him just yet, so that'll be the rest 172 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 1: of my day. Have you seen enough of Mahomes to 173 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,839 Speaker 1: just like give like a thought on what stands out 174 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:47,320 Speaker 1: to you or is it too soon for that? One 175 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:52,200 Speaker 1: word would being dynamic? Thank you. We'll in with Phil 176 00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:56,839 Speaker 1: Harry and they're kind thank thank you. Brian. I just 177 00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 1: wanted to um to ask you gets sort of a 178 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:03,080 Speaker 1: follow up to Mike question. But about that linebacker level, 179 00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:06,719 Speaker 1: and we see Patrick ung there a good amount and 180 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 1: I'm wondering if is he ever involved in those linebacker 181 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:14,439 Speaker 1: meetings and just how stabilizing a presence can he be 182 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 1: in the middle of the defense based on his experience 183 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 1: there again, you know, similar to the conversation or the 184 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,920 Speaker 1: well the conversation we just had about Kyle Pats his 185 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 1: versatile guys, we have again safety star Uh. You know 186 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 1: he's played a little bit of you know mine linebacker 187 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:43,679 Speaker 1: Um again another guy who's stepped up and you know, 188 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 1: played a big role on his team for a long time. 189 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,679 Speaker 1: So you know we're gonna again based on game plan 190 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:55,600 Speaker 1: patch role changes UM with a week to week saying, 191 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,959 Speaker 1: but his versatilities is obviously critical how we want to 192 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:04,040 Speaker 1: played defensively. And um, again, he's smart, he's selfless, He'll 193 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:08,040 Speaker 1: do whatever uh it takes to help help his team win. 194 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:12,839 Speaker 1: And and um, you know, if playing linebacker is what 195 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 1: will you ask him to do it? I'm sure you'd 196 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 1: have no problem doing that. And then uh and um, 197 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 1: you know, if it's safety or star or wherever, whatever 198 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 1: the case may be, Patsy's done a good job maybe 199 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 1: a role, so um, we're lucky to have him. Thanks, right, 200 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 1: Last question, Brian, just curious how you've seen Jason McCarry 201 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 1: going back to him a little bit, uh, adjust to 202 00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 1: some of the different roles he's had this year. It 203 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 1: seems like he came at a cornerback. You guys experimented 204 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:43,959 Speaker 1: with him at safety for a while and now he's 205 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 1: really uh stepped up and emerged as a starter. Jason. 206 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 1: You know, he's been he's been h he's been terrific. 207 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:58,679 Speaker 1: You know, um, you know as a player. Uh, you know, 208 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 1: he's come in, like you said, he's played a few 209 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 1: different roles. But again, this is a team guy, selfless, 210 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 1: um really really just wants to do whatever it takes 211 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 1: to help this team win. So UM again, whether it's corner, 212 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 1: whether it's safety. UM. I think he's an experienced guy 213 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 1: who's smart. He can make adjustments. UM. He knows strengths 214 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:25,199 Speaker 1: and weaknesses of you know, each opponent. This guy, he's UM. 215 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 1: He spends a lot of time you know, watching film, UM, 216 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 1: and understands the opponent what they're trying to do. So 217 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 1: he really does a good job of putting himself in 218 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:38,199 Speaker 1: a good position to make plays and and help this team, 219 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:40,960 Speaker 1: you know, and help his defense and they'll play well. 220 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 1: So I've been really pleased with him. Thank you coach, 221 00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 1: Thanks everyone, Thanks Brian
