1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:01,080
Speaker 1: Hey, Jerald, how are you.

2
00:00:01,600 --> 00:00:02,840
Speaker 2: I'm doing well, Mike are you?

3
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 1: I guess let's just cut to the chase with the

4
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:09,840
Speaker 1: injury stuff. How do you how do you replace someone

5
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:12,400
Speaker 1: like Matthew Judon and all that he's meant to this

6
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 1: defense over the last few years.

7
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, Judon has been great for us in

8
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 3: the locker room, in the meeting room, on the field,

9
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 3: but we have we have other players. It's not gonna

10
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 3: be just one guy. It's going to be, you know,

11
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 3: multiple guys trying to fill that role. We'll see what happens.

12
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 3: We'll see if he if he comes back, but in

13
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 3: the meantime, feel pretty confident about the guys that are

14
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 3: on the roster.

15
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:38,559
Speaker 1: I asked you about Keon White last week, just some

16
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 1: of the explosure you said, you know, you kind of

17
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 1: looking forward with him and what it could be. What

18
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 1: sort of growth have you seen from him even between

19
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 1: last week and this week.

20
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, every week we try to put a little bit

21
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 2: more on his plate.

22
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 3: He's one of these guys who he kind of doesn't

23
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 3: fit in any mold like the Wise category or the

24
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 3: Judon category, can kind of do both to a certain extent.

25
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 3: So he's doing well and he's growing each and every

26
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 3: week in the classroom man on the field.

27
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 1: Thanks for Rod.

28
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 2: Thanks Mike, nice room, Nice room. Next question, It's got

29
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 2: me some slash.

30
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 4: Next question, Josh Bergady, Thanks you morning.

31
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 5: Jered.

32
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,479
Speaker 2: How are you. I'm doing well? Are you? I'm doing well? Thanks.

33
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 6: Kind of piggybacking on Mike's question a little bit, I

34
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 6: wanted to ask you about Gonzalez, Christian Gonzalez and sort

35
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,479
Speaker 6: of what's going to happen with the defensive backs now

36
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 6: that you don't have him either, and how is your

37
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 6: defense built to withstand a loss like that?

38
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 3: You know, we have we have good players, and we

39
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 3: always talk about the rush and the coverage.

40
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 2: I have to marry up and so look, we're gonna

41
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 2: have to. We have guys that can play in those roles.

42
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 3: Obviously, it hurts to lose a guy like Gonzo, but

43
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 3: at the same time, we're kind of going through all

44
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 3: of that whole process, the game plan process. Right now,

45
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 3: we feel pretty confident that we have guys that could

46
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 3: fill that role.

47
00:01:56,440 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 4: Thank you. Thanks. Next question Chris Ryan, Hey.

48
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 2: Rod, I'm doing well. How are you? Chris Good?

49
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 5: Just kind of on the same line as the previous question.

50
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 5: Just from a mental standpoint, how do you, you know,

51
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 5: get the guys to a point where they don't see

52
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 5: this as losing two major players but as an opportunity.

53
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 5: Do you feel like, you know, that's that's happened, where

54
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 5: the guys have have moved on and are ready for

55
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,359
Speaker 5: New Orleans? Or is there still kind of a processing

56
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 5: of you know, what's happening with those two I.

57
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 3: Would say the guys they understand the business, they understand football,

58
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 3: they understand the injuries occur. Obviously, when you lose two

59
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 3: players of that magnitude, there's gonna be a little law.

60
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 3: But when loser draw or losing players, we kind of,

61
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,519
Speaker 3: you know, we have that next man out mentality and really.

62
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 2: Trying to just change the page as quick as possible.

63
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 2: I don't anticipate a law from any of the guys.

64
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 5: And looking at New Orleans, what do you see there?

65
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know it starts with the quarterback. Obviously, you

66
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:58,959
Speaker 3: know a guy that can make all the throws. I

67
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 3: would say, get in Kamar back is definitely a weapon

68
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 3: that you know, everyone has to be at the point

69
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 3: of a tap with him, both in the run and

70
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 3: the past game.

71
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 4: Uh.

72
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 3: And then the receivers. All those receivers, you know, they're

73
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 3: they're dangerous. They all have their own their certain skill set.

74
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 3: Live A definitely is is coming a live a hard

75
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 3: guy to cover. Uh, And don't forget about the tight ends.

76
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 3: You know, anytime Jimmy Graham is you know listen as

77
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:21,639
Speaker 3: the fourth tight end. You know, the depth that they

78
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 3: have at that spot is pretty special. So definitely a

79
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 3: tough challenge.

80
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 2: Thank you, thank you.

81
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 4: Next question, Cary Thompson, Yeah.

82
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 7: Heydrirod, how's it going going going well?

83
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 2: How are you carry good? I'm good.

84
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 7: I know you've already been asked about about Judaan, but

85
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 7: just from your perspective as a linebackers coach, who are

86
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 7: some of the guys that you're looking forward to stepping

87
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 7: up and helping fill that role while he's gone.

88
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, kind of talked about a little bit earlier.

89
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 3: It's gonna be multiple guys obviously, you know, Keon has

90
00:03:58,120 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 3: to you know, he's gonna play more, He's gonna play

91
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 3: or you know, simply said and we really need to

92
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 3: show up, So there'd be different guys on the roster

93
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 3: to kind of help, you know, fill that void. Even

94
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 3: with you know, Wis and those guys like that, and

95
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 3: you know, we don't just play four down, we don't

96
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 3: just play three down. You know, we're kind of pretty

97
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 3: versatile with our players and also our scheme, so trying

98
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:16,719
Speaker 3: to figure it out today.

99
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 7: Definitely, definitely, And same same question for Gonzo.

100
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's pretty much the same thing.

101
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 3: You know, we're trying to we're trying to game plan

102
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 3: right now and you know, see how New Orleans will

103
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 3: try to attack us. At the same time, you know,

104
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,280
Speaker 3: filling some of the gaps that were left behind as

105
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 3: far as injuries are concerned. But once again, look it's

106
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 3: it's eleven guys out there on defense. It's never just

107
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 3: one guy. And those guys understand, uh, you know, when

108
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 3: you do have an injury, you know, just next man

109
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 3: up mentality.

110
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 7: Definitely is Anthony one of those guys is going to

111
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 7: be in that mix deal with the linebackers.

112
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 2: He's always in the mix.

113
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 3: He's actually been doing a good job over the last

114
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 3: few weeks, you know, when he gets his opportunities going

115
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:53,840
Speaker 3: out there and playing well.

116
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 2: So so absolutely awesome.

117
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 4: Thank you.

118
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:57,600
Speaker 2: Thanks.

119
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,840
Speaker 4: Next question, Mike Grace hate yourrod.

120
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 8: I'm not sure if this is a fair one. To

121
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 8: ask you, but do you have any sense on Jonathan Jones?

122
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 8: Jack Jones, you know how close they are?

123
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,359
Speaker 2: Honestly, Mike, I wish I did. That's more of a

124
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 2: B B question. A b B question had a feeling.

125
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 8: But I want to ask you about Tava showed up.

126
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 8: You know, obviously the game didn't go the way anyone wanted.

127
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 8: On Sunday, I thought he showed up a little bit

128
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 8: in a couple of different areas. Did you see the

129
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 8: same thing in terms of his play and what have

130
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 8: you noticed from his growth as a players.

131
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 2: If I've been doing a good job.

132
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 3: You know, one of those guys who you know, we

133
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 3: call him an adjuster, a guy that can play on

134
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 3: the end of the line and also off the ball,

135
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 3: A very smart.

136
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 2: Guy and honestly, you know, I would say now.

137
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,160
Speaker 3: Outside of a couple of plays this past game, he

138
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:46,160
Speaker 3: had a very good game.

139
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,840
Speaker 2: So looking for him to really contribute in the classroom

140
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:50,799
Speaker 2: on the field.

141
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:56,840
Speaker 4: Thanks Mike, and two final questions here. First question from

142
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:57,279
Speaker 4: Bob so I.

143
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 2: See good morning John. Thanks for tom Oh, thanks a Bob,

144
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 2: you can see you too.

145
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 9: Want to ask about Jalen Mills. A little bit of

146
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 9: a different role for him this year, Uh than in

147
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 9: the past when he was healthy last year, in the

148
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 9: previous season, what have you seen from him the way

149
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 9: he's handled things to.

150
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 3: This time, he's handled he's handled things, you know, outstanding. Honestly,

151
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 3: it's always tough when you you don't play as much

152
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,159
Speaker 3: as you want to play. You know, all these guys

153
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 3: are competitors. But I think he's handled it, handled it

154
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 3: as a true professional, you know. And you know, we

155
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 3: always talk about versatility, like he's another one of those

156
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 3: guys when you talk about the injuries that we you

157
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 3: know that we've had. Uh, he's one of those guys

158
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 3: that can play on a perimeter, play safety. You know,

159
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 3: if you need him in the box, he can do

160
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 3: that as well. So I really need him to come

161
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:41,720
Speaker 3: through for us.

162
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,160
Speaker 9: In a quick follow up regarding another guy that kind

163
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,480
Speaker 9: of fits in the same category, different role this season,

164
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 9: Adrian Phillips, veteran player. He's give me a lot of

165
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:50,039
Speaker 9: quality stamps in the past.

166
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 3: No, absolutely, And look, he's one of those guys as

167
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:56,559
Speaker 3: well who has really handled it. Uh, you know, great,

168
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 3: you know great, He's always good in the classroom. He's

169
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 3: a smart guy and once again a guy that he

170
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 3: will have to play linebacker, have to play safety to

171
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 3: play stars, so we got to feel those voice.

172
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 2: But he's a good asset for this team.

173
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 4: Thanks Dron, Thanks Bob, and last question from Taylor Kyle's.

174
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 2: Hey, coach, thank you so much for your time.

175
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 10: I was wondering Martine Mapu played a season high in

176
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 10: snaps and I know there's been a lot of talk

177
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 10: about like what he can handle and put more on

178
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 10: his plate. How much of that had to do with

179
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 10: his ability to take on more every week and also

180
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 10: just maybe what the game plan was for the Cowboys.

181
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 3: Thank you, Yeah, you know Mapoo. Once again, I know

182
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 3: I sound like a broken record as far as versatility,

183
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 3: but he's one of the guys that can play on

184
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 3: or off the ball. He's done a great job. He's

185
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 3: very smart in the classroom, and now it's just about,

186
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 3: you know, applying some of the things from the classroom

187
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 3: on the field. And as we continue to go through

188
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 3: the season, look more injuries and things something like that

189
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 3: will occur, and his growth is definitely going to be vital.

190
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:57,720
