1
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:06,640
Speaker 1: It was a busy day at the podium here at

2
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:09,319
Speaker 1: the Cross Country Mortgage Campus as the Cleveland Browns are

3
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 1: ramping up their preparations for the Arizona Cardinals this Sunday. Today,

4
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 1: on the show, We're gonna hear from four players and

5
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:19,640
Speaker 1: all three of the Browns coordinators. The players were first up,

6
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:22,320
Speaker 1: and they spoke in the locker room. Wide receiver Amari

7
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:25,599
Speaker 1: Cooper was up first. He talked about what he has

8
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 1: seen from rookie wide receiver Cedric Tillman and what it's

9
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 1: been like to have Deshaun Watson back and practicing this

10
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 1: week Street.

11
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 2: It's real nice. You know, he's throwing the ball, real smooth.

12
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:43,559
Speaker 3: It looks like he's coming off of his shoulders a

13
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:44,240
Speaker 3: lot more ease.

14
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:46,239
Speaker 2: So it feels good to have him back on there.

15
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 2: I think it's trending to be out there Sunday. Who

16
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 2: knows you gotta you got you gotta ask for that question?

17
00:00:58,400 --> 00:00:59,959
Speaker 2: I figured you were a little closer to the same

18
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:05,040
Speaker 2: what sat that ask you? And he's closer, which.

19
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 4: Has kind of been like the last I know we

20
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,479
Speaker 4: talk here every but this month of not knowing who's

21
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,320
Speaker 4: gonna be a quarterbacking just not having your guy out.

22
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 5: Like we just how hard has that been in his.

23
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:17,040
Speaker 2: Uh or the hope.

24
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,320
Speaker 3: I mean, it's just a a challenge, just like any

25
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 3: other challenge that's presented to us. You know, obviously we

26
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 3: gotta got to any situation that's presented to us.

27
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 2: But yeah, it's it's it's hard. I mean, we know

28
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 2: that for is our guy.

29
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 3: We know that he's a uh, a playmaker and all

30
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,040
Speaker 3: those things. So we would love to have him out

31
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 3: there every chance that we get. But you know, fortunately

32
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 3: the picky doesn't always crumble our way. You know, injuries

33
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,039
Speaker 3: are a part of the game, and just waiting on

34
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 3: him to get healthy.

35
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 6: M do you have any words where PJ Watt draft

36
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 6: the way that gave him to Seattle ended?

37
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 2: You don't have any words?

38
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 7: Yeah?

39
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 2: Did you say any doing more?

40
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 8: Oh?

41
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean we we we are constantly communicating, uh,

42
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 3: you know, about what we see, about some of our errors,

43
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 3: about some of our successes, and we we try to

44
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 3: go out there and make everything work. So yeah, yeah,

45
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 3: we talked after the game about some of the players,

46
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 3: for sure.

47
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:11,799
Speaker 2: And so I notice when you guys were breaking the huddle.

48
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 9: For the goal line, you said something to them and

49
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 9: then on that play through to you, you were covered.

50
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 7: The pass was incomplete.

51
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 10: What did you say to them as you're breaking the humble?

52
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 2: I I I don't remember what you play you're talking about?

53
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 7: And then and would be for a field goal?

54
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 5: Uh down there to the line.

55
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,119
Speaker 2: Un I we played a lot of players in the game,

56
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 2: so I I don't remember that one.

57
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 10: He uh receiving course gonna look different after the uh

58
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 10: the trade deadline.

59
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 5: Uh your your thoughts on that?

60
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 10: And uh could somebody like said rig step in and

61
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 10: and give you guys a loose to here the second half.

62
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:46,639
Speaker 8: Of the season.

63
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean obviously during this during this time, you know,

64
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 3: a lot of trades happen. Yeah, it's always the next

65
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 3: man up mentality we believe in and the guys in

66
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 3: our room to step up and and and make plays

67
00:02:59,400 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 3: for us.

68
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 10: So, yeah, we haven't seen Setric really since trading camp,

69
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 10: and you see the practice. You know, what are your

70
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 10: thoughts on, uh, how he's looking at Do you feel

71
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 10: like he's ready to to to.

72
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 2: Step into a bigger role.

73
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:14,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean since Sid has got here, I think

74
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 3: his practice habits have been uh real good. He's been

75
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,839
Speaker 3: making a lot of plays, uh, especially in the jump

76
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 3: off situations.

77
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 2: He he learns fast.

78
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 3: Uh, He's diligent in his approach to the game, to

79
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 3: studying and and all those things. So I mean it

80
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 3: just has to translate to the game, right, That's it.

81
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 5: What was your feeling with do youp trade got traded when.

82
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 2: You found out?

83
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean again, you know, the trades are just

84
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 3: a a part of the game. You know, I've I've

85
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 3: been traded twice, so I know you know how the

86
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 3: process is. But yeah, I I was obviously sad. You know,

87
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 3: we we communicated about that. I texted him, told him,

88
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 3: you know, good luck and things like that. I I'm

89
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 3: missing you know. You know, we went into battle together

90
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 3: for a year and a half, so you know, I

91
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 3: consider on my brother for sure.

92
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 4: How challenging is that you get traded in middle season

93
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 4: like you were from Opeland to.

94
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 2: Do from Dallas. It all depends on the person.

95
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 3: It all depends on, uh, the situation, the scenario. You know,

96
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 3: some guys, some guys look forward to that happening, and

97
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 3: you know they try to turn over a new leaf

98
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,599
Speaker 3: and feel like, uh they could they could be much

99
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 3: better and in the new situation. So it it I

100
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 3: would say it all depends on the circumstance.

101
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 6: I'm Mary, how much do you think the quarterback uncertainty

102
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 6: of health back gets offense?

103
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 2: I don't know that.

104
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 3: It's a hard question to answer. I don't quite recall

105
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 3: right off of the bat our record, but uh what

106
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:50,359
Speaker 3: it really like?

107
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 2: Two would I don't know, uh I or three?

108
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 8: No? No?

109
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 3: No, I know, I know, I reckon I'm saying with

110
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 3: with uh with the shine out and guys happened to

111
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 3: step in, I don't know.

112
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:02,720
Speaker 2: I don't know a record, I but I.

113
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 3: Think you know we we can definitely improve on the office.

114
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 2: Side of the ball overall. You know we've been turning

115
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 2: the ball over a lot.

116
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 3: So I mean, regardless of who's back there, Uh, the

117
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 3: goal is still the same, especially the number one goal,

118
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 3: and that's to not turn the ball.

119
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 2: Over at all. So that that's my answer.

120
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 3: Why are you even with the shawan and there the

121
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 3: games since you play with still are they only receiver

122
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 3: as a touchdown?

123
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 5: I mean one touchdown or seven games?

124
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:37,480
Speaker 11: You know, let's got a big number something you never stuck.

125
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 7: Coming right.

126
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 12: U.

127
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 2: I mean obviously there's a receiver group.

128
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 3: He want he want guys to be lighting up the

129
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 3: scoreboards going every game. But again, that's just not the

130
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,919
Speaker 3: way that Picky crumbles. You know, I think we've we've

131
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 3: done a lot of great things on offense. We had

132
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 3: a lot of successes, you know, third down conversions, things

133
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 3: of that nature.

134
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:54,480
Speaker 2: First downs.

135
00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 3: Doesn't always the jobs don't always end with the receivers, unfortunately.

136
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 2: So it's like, get they signed the clubs from Randy Moss,

137
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 2: and what are you gonna do with them? Ma selle,

138
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 2: now play and I gotta uh obviously keep 'em.

139
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 3: Uh put 'em in my offense at home or something

140
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 3: like that.

141
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 2: Frame 'em. Definitely gonna show 'em off for sure.

142
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 13: May When you look at Arizona, what do they present

143
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 13: to you that's unique? That makes it a challenge of

144
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 13: defensive baskets?

145
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean th from what I've seen, they're very

146
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:32,479
Speaker 3: opportunistic on defense. Uh, they're always making plays in the

147
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 3: pivotal part of the game. Like even though they're I

148
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 3: believe what one in seven or yeah, one and six,

149
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:41,719
Speaker 3: one and seven, they've been ahead in almost every game.

150
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 2: That they've played.

151
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 3: You know, they've only not been ahead in one game.

152
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 3: So they're they're very competitive and you can see that

153
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:51,719
Speaker 3: from the defense that they're making plays all over the field,

154
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 3: uh s, keeping the team in the game.

155
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 2: So, uh, it's gonna present a challenge t uh to us.

156
00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 2: For sure. We know that it's gonna be a dog fight.

157
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 3: He's gonna be a four quarter games, So just gotta

158
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:02,839
Speaker 3: go out there and sees the moment.

159
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 10: Yeah, those be the the tougher games when you're playing

160
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 10: a team that doesn't.

161
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 14: Have a really good record, but when you actually watch

162
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 14: the tape, they're playing hard, they're playing well in in

163
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 14: in a lot of respects hope, without getting results.

164
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean generally in in those type of situations

165
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 3: when the team isn't you know, when a team is

166
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 3: playing okay but their record isn't really showing it, you

167
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 3: can kind of pinpoint those, you know, sudden failures. It

168
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 3: usually comes down to, you know, a couple plays in

169
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 3: the game where they just didn't take advantage of the moment,

170
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 3: and that's what I'm I'm seeing from them, So you know,

171
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 3: they can always just flip that switch on us, So

172
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 3: we gotta be prepared for that.

173
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 2: For sure. He'screwed to one of those statements you're always

174
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 2: keeping an eye on out there. Yeah, Yeah, one hunred percent.

175
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 2: I mean, he's a playmaker.

176
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 3: You know, he has zero regard for his body seems alike.

177
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 3: But yeah, I've played him a couple of times. He

178
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 3: he he's always he's always making plays. He's always all over

179
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 3: the field, both in the run game and the game.

180
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 3: He can really disrupt the game if you allow him to.

181
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 3: So he's definitely want to look out for.

182
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 15: You guess preach taking.

183
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:08,119
Speaker 16: Care of more.

184
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 15: I guess weach taking care of the ball in practice

185
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 15: of the offense. What does that look like for you

186
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 15: guys when you really wanna make sure you're not giving

187
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 15: those turnovers up over, especially.

188
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 8: When you're prepared.

189
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, y you you gotta drill it, just like everything else.

190
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 3: You know, we preach ball security, especially in the receiver room.

191
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 3: We say, you know, ball security always starts at the catchpoint,

192
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 3: so as soon as we catch the ball, we're cognizant of,

193
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 3: you know, taking care of it until that whistle is blown.

194
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 1: Cornerback Denzel Ward spoke next. He talked about how important

195
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 1: Greg Newsom has been to this defense and what it'll

196
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 1: mean if he has to miss Sunday's game, and how

197
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 1: interesting it is to not know what quarterback they're gonna

198
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 1: be playing against strange gun.

199
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 2: No do the quarterback is gonna be.

200
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 5: In this game?

201
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 9: Oh No, I don't think it's too strange. Uh, that's

202
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 9: the NFL. I think we just got to come prepared

203
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 9: and execute our assignment and our jobs and we should

204
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:54,680
Speaker 9: be good.

205
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 14: Challenging goals is to prepare for two guys who haven't

206
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 14: taken a single snap the season. I mean, obviously Kyler

207
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 14: but being played this year, so you can't even with him,

208
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 14: you don't know.

209
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think we're kind of familiar with Kyler and

210
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 9: what he's capable of and the type of player that

211
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 9: he is out there. Uh yeah, definitely a little bit

212
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 9: more difficult watching uh the other guy. Uh, But like

213
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 9: I said, just got come prepared and study their receivers

214
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:22,079
Speaker 9: and see what they like to do, and I think

215
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 9: would be good.

216
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 14: Denzel talked yesterday about what they shore up the run defense.

217
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 10: What do you think needs to.

218
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 9: Further run defense? I think we all just got to

219
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 9: execute our job. Just attack our points and continue to

220
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 9: play physical and get guys down. Don't let everybody saying

221
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 9: their gaps and uh, make tackles. We can't miss tackles

222
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:44,839
Speaker 9: and uh that kind of hurt us a little bit,

223
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 9: but just got to execute that.

224
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 13: If you guys don't have Greg, how much of them.

225
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 17: That to your second?

226
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 9: Yeah, Greg's a great player, So it's definitely heard with

227
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,679
Speaker 9: we don't have him, but guys are gonna step over

228
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 9: with us Cam or Mike Ford and uh they're definitely

229
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,440
Speaker 9: more than capable of going out there making plays and

230
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 9: uh locking their man's down, and so uh it's just

231
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 9: next guy up if that's the case, and uh, I

232
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 9: think it will still be.

233
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 17: Good that uh you know that that nickel spot.

234
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 2: And how well has great say it again?

235
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 5: Sorry, how how.

236
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,079
Speaker 17: Difficult is it to play that nickel spot? And how

237
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,560
Speaker 17: how well has Greg played it this year?

238
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's difficult, But like Greg, he's been playing great.

239
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 9: He's been playing well and uh locking his man down

240
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 9: and making plays out there. But uh, like I said,

241
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 9: those guys uh behind him are prepared to step up

242
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 9: and take his place, uh if need.

243
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 8: Be a little bit.

244
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 7: So far show since he been.

245
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 9: Yeah, he he's made plays out there as well, almost

246
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 9: had a pick six, got a a.

247
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:41,439
Speaker 2: Find way to bring that ball in.

248
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 9: But uh, Kansi has been playing well out there, doing

249
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 9: his job, communicating out there.

250
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 2: On the field. And uh, like I said, if if

251
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 2: Greg's out.

252
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,559
Speaker 9: There, then I'm sure he'll be more than capable of

253
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 9: taking his place and uh feeling his rolling.

254
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 14: How import for you guys to beyond Arizona?

255
00:10:59,240 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 7: Yeah?

256
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,719
Speaker 2: Easy, just there one in seven. This is a game.

257
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 14: When actually watched them, they do They've been in pretty

258
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:08,199
Speaker 14: much all their games and.

259
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 9: They it's yeah, it's the NFL, so there's not a

260
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 9: bad team in the NFL. So we can't take anybody lightly. U.

261
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 9: We gotta go in and do our job, like I said,

262
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 9: and execute and take care of our business. So regardless

263
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 9: of record, it's whoever wins that day.

264
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,559
Speaker 5: Somebody been seeing so far, Daddy.

265
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 7: That shows right to stop twenty five?

00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 2: Is he playing? Yeah?

268
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 18: I don't think so do you?

269
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 6: What do you think just overall.

270
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,119
Speaker 2: The last couple of weeks, you guys.

271
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:49,680
Speaker 4: In the secondary that have been playing, and how.

272
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 14: Do you put it, like Sunday's game behind you?

273
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 9: Oh, I think we've been playing well, but we're not

274
00:11:56,920 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 9: there yet. Still things that we gotta fix and get

275
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,240

00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 9: we got to work on, but I think I think

284
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 9: we'll get there on a good track.

285
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 14: You know, going through that, Yo, we hear so much

286

Speaker 14: about it, you know, fiery personality and always trying to get.

287
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 16: The most out of you.

288
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 13: Yeah, so you're pushing your buttons and things like that.

289
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:33,240

Speaker 9: Yeah, we had an intensive meeting coming in after after

293
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 9: that lost to Seattle, which is expected. I mean, he

294
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 9: expects a lot out of us as well as ourselves.

295
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 9: So I mean we got to go out there and

296
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 9: be who we are and execute and do our job

297

00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 5: there and just try to play a game.

319
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 11: So, uh, you know, you're just part of the process

320
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:46,559
Speaker 11: and we just take your day by day.

321
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:50,319
Speaker 14: Considering the setpack you had Indianianapolis game here, how much

322
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 14: how much more cautious are you going through this process again?

323
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 2: Coming back?

324
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,080
Speaker 11: I'm not cautious at all. I mean it's part of

325
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 11: the process. And you know, like I said before, or uh,

326
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 11: the Aneapolis week was I think four weeks, so we

327
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:08,680
Speaker 11: try to you know, maximize or minimize how how much

328
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 11: I need at that time. And you know now we're

329
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 11: going on six weeks, so you know, we just try

330
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 11: to just steady for a stay of process. But you know,

331
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 11: follow what the doctors say and I go from there.

332
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 2: You have some ice it or anything.

333
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 6: But when you're done with practice, what what do you do?

334
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 3: Uh?

335
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 11: Just recovery so but yeah, yeah, just.

336
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 5: Really just recovery stuff. But whatever that requires.

337
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 17: Did you feel that you sum more velocity of the

338
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 17: ball that you did before the cold skame?

339
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 9: I'm going to do better?

340
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 5: How can you play them? Yeah? I mean it's getting better.

341
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 5: Eating every day. Uh, you know, the arrow is going up.

342
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 11: The process is being very very good, and we just

343
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 11: you know, steady, just going day to day and uh,

344
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 11: just making sure that we're doing everything we can that

345
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 11: build that strength and everything.

346
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 14: Should never try any kind of different races.

347
00:14:57,680 --> 00:14:59,120

390
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 11: as a staff, and an organization, then I think, you know,

391

Speaker 11: what we need to be heading to.

394
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 4: Is there a hurdle or a test that you feel

395
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 4: like you need to clear before you return to the field,

396
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 4: whether it's Sunday or down the road.

397
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean there's definitely things in the protocol that

398
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 11: we need to clear that before we can you know,

399
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 11: get back out there on the field. But uh, you know,

400
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 11: we just step by step, day by day. You know,

401
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 11: you can't jump the can't jump in front of that.

402
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 11: You just gotta keep continue to take it one step

403
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 11: by the time.

404
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 2: Does that everybody Sunday?

405
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 7: Though?

406
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 5: Uh, I'm not even sure that's a medical question.

407
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 10: Is this decision that could be made Friday or could

408
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:04,399
Speaker 10: it be could you be a game time decision similar

409
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:04,680
Speaker 10: to the.

410
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 7: Baltimore game signing?

411
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 11: I'm not that's a Kevin question.

412
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:10,119
Speaker 2: So don't you know it's your body better than you.

413
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 16: What percentage are you.

414
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:11,880
Speaker 5: Out right now?

415
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:13,160
Speaker 2: Uh?

416
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 16: Uh, I'm not sure.

417
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,399
Speaker 11: I can't be given out no percentages right now.

418
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 17: When you when you look at those two games before,

419
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 17: you know, when you I know, you guys don't necessarily

420
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,119
Speaker 17: look ahead and you try to keep fling yourself. But

421
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 17: when you do look at the schedule, you see that

422
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 17: you do have those two big AFCIOR games against Baltimore

423
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:35,400
Speaker 17: and Pittsford coming up. How does that factor into when

424
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:37,879
Speaker 17: you return and what your situation is?

425
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 5: I don't. I don't think it does. I mean, right

426
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 5: now we're focusing.

427
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 11: On Arizona, so I I get the question and things

428
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,120
Speaker 11: like that, but you know, right now, you know we're

429
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 11: locked in on the Cardinals and and it's a big

430
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 11: week this week for us to come back home in

431
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 11: front of our fans and try to get the W. So, uh,

432
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,399
Speaker 11: you know, whenever that time come, it comes, But uh,

433
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 11: right now it's it's truthfully, it's just day to day

434
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,360
Speaker 11: and you know, see how we feel a couple more.

435
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 7: How will you know that you're ready to go?

436
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 14: Like I I in your mind, you know time asked

437
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 14: you, you know your body, But just how will you know

438
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 14: when you're ready?

439
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 11: It's just one of those deals where you're you're just know.

440
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,880
Speaker 11: I think we're all known from myself from Kevin from

441
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 11: you know, Joe and the medical staff, from everybody. You know,

442
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,479
Speaker 11: everyone seen me when I was healthy, and then they

443
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:23,159
Speaker 11: see me when I was at my lords too, So

444
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:25,239
Speaker 11: you know, I think we all, if we're all on

445
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 11: the same page, we would.

446
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:29,199
Speaker 15: Know how important has it been for you to kind

447
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:31,639
Speaker 15: of guide your teammates and when you're with the with

448
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 15: the uncertainty PJ and Evan Doria throughout these couple of

449
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 15: weeks that you've been dealing with this, how important it

450
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:38,399
Speaker 15: has been for you to be kind of like a

451
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 15: mentor for them and.

452
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:39,879
Speaker 2: Still be involved.

453
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:41,160
Speaker 5: Well, it's very important.

454
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,679
Speaker 11: And you know, whenever the injury did occur, that's one

455
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:45,639
Speaker 11: of the things in the leadership and the captive meetings

456
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 11: that they made sure, you know, they all looked at

457
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:49,359
Speaker 11: me and made sure that I was making sure that

458
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:52,399
Speaker 11: you know, I stay involved, stay engaged, because you know,

459
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,159
Speaker 11: guys that's been in the injury protocol before, you know,

460
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 11: tend to feel you know, kind of away from the team.

461
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:00,359
Speaker 11: But uh, you know, we did a good I was

462
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 11: just standing standing tune in every meeting at practices, talking

463
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,919
Speaker 11: with PJ and and dt R and talking with the

464
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 11: whole offense.

465
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 5: So you know, I've been around.

466
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 11: Having missed the beat and everything's been going well. Keep

467
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,200
Speaker 11: his head, you know, keep his head up high. He

468
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 11: played a hell of a game. He did what we

469
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,239
Speaker 11: need to do to have a chance to win. And uh,

470
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:23,439
Speaker 11: sometimes the ball don't bounce away. That's the life of

471
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 11: the NFL. That's life. Uh, sometimes it just don't bounce away.

472
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 11: You just gotta go into the next one and keep

473
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 11: it pushing.

474
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:32,680
Speaker 7: You mentioned pain last week.

475
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:36,400
Speaker 20: How would you describe the you know, the the pain,

476
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:39,399
Speaker 20: the the frequency of it, and the you know, the

477
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 20: the kind of pain you were feeling in the shoulder,

478
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 20: and and how is that that dissipated over and over time?

479
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 11: Uh, yeah, it's been getting better, meeting every day and

480
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,160
Speaker 11: you know it was just again it's slowly over and over.

481
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 5: I get what you're trying to do.

482
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 11: You're trying to give me to say some stuff, but uh,

483
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,120
Speaker 11: we're not allowed to speak on injuries to that detail.

484
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 17: And that's uh, they're you know, amongst the people that

485
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,399
Speaker 17: watched you practice, there were sort of you know, conflicting

486
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:10,119
Speaker 17: interpretations of how the ball looked coming out in your hands.

487
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:13,399
Speaker 17: Some people thought the velocity looked good. Other people thought

488
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 17: that it didn't look like you really who.

489
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 2: Are these people?

490
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:17,120
Speaker 8: Yeah?

491
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,920
Speaker 11: Facts, I don't know who you talking about saying that,

492
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 11: you know, if it's coming from fans and I ah,

493
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 11: that's next question, sorry Mary kay. But yeah, if it's

494
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:28,439
Speaker 11: if it's not coming from anybody in the front office

495
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 11: or in his locker room, they don't even matter at all.

496
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:33,400
Speaker 17: So I guess I'm just asking out.

497
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 7: Was the velocity good?

498
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:36,400
Speaker 6: Uh?

499
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:38,399
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it, like again, it was a it

500
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 5: was a good day.

501
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,680
Speaker 11: Uh, it's been a good week, you know, progressing each

502
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 11: and every day, each and every day, and uh, we

503
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 11: just gotta keep pushing forward, taking taking a one step.

504
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:47,360
Speaker 16: To show real quick.

505
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 13: And I know there's a lot of people trying to

506
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:52,160
Speaker 13: make this decision together, right You've talked about the cohesion

507
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 13: you kt of the medical staff.

508
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 8: Ultimately, how much.

509
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 13: Do you feel this is in your hands when you decide? Hey,

510
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,040
Speaker 13: I think I'm where's that will.

511
00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:00,879
Speaker 8: Be to you?

512
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:03,119
Speaker 5: I mean, we all got to be on the same page,

513
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:03,399
Speaker 5: you know.

514
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 11: I I told the guys that I was ready in

515
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:08,399
Speaker 11: Annapolis week and that was my decision, and look, it

516
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 11: wasn't I wasn't ready, you know, So I try to

517
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 11: jump the gun a little bit, and uh it didn't

518
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 11: go our way. So you know, at the end of

519
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 11: the day, you know, they gotta you gotta listen to

520
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 11: the experts and all the things that they did. It's

521
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 11: my first time dealing with it, so of course I

522
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 11: know my body, so I'm keeping track of everything that

523
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 11: I'm doing and letting them know what's going on and

524
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 11: and what's what's good and what's not good. So, uh,

525
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 11: you know, I think we all be on the same

526
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 11: page and and we all feel right when that time comes.

527
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 4: How do you think the rest of the guys one

528
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:38,400
Speaker 4: kind of sticking together and you know it's a tough

529
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 4: spot now, even their franchise quarterback. So how do you

530
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,439
Speaker 4: think the rest of the guys have done? You know,

531
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:45,159
Speaker 4: when the four games you're haven't really.

532
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 5: Played money, I mean, they did a heck of a job.

533
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 11: I mean, you know, of course, the Baltimore game was

534
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 11: it is what it is that happens. You know, you

535
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 11: gotta give Baltimore credit. But the other three, you know,

536
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 11: we had opportunities. We we finished two of them, we

537
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:02,439
Speaker 11: didn't finish one and came close to it to last

538
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 11: minute forty seconds. So the guy's been sticking together. We

539
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 11: you know, a lot of guys banged up, a lot

540
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,719
Speaker 11: of guys has been pushing forward, and you know, injuries happened.

541
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 11: So you know, everybody in this life room understand this

542
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:15,399
Speaker 11: type of injury that I'm dealing with, and you know,

543
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 11: making sure, you know, every time they walk past me,

544
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:19,640
Speaker 11: make sure I take care of myself and whenever I'm ready,

545
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,639
Speaker 11: they understand that I'll be back out there. So you know,

546
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 11: we're all locked in on that they know the competitor

547
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 11: and the player and that I am and that I

548
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 11: want to be back out there and help the team win.

549
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 11: But uh, you know, if I can't be one hundred

550
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 11: and be beneficial for the team, then they understand that too.

551
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:37,920
Speaker 1: The last player to go was All Pro guard Joel Potonio.

552
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,200
Speaker 1: He spoke about how the O line has battled through

553
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:42,719
Speaker 1: injuries this year and how the run game has been

554
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 1: able to improve over the last couple of games.

555
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 13: To talk about how solid Dames, What does that mean

556
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 13: I've been for years?

557
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:53,880
Speaker 5: That's true that you reach out.

558
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 2: To Yeah, we're you know, we're trying to work.

559
00:22:57,560 --> 00:22:59,880
Speaker 19: There's a little spill and that we run the ball

560
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 19: well enough and then we're trying to get back to that,

561
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 19: and we kind of have a three headed group, you know,

562
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:08,439
Speaker 19: with Kareem and Ford and Pierre out there, and they

563
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:10,199
Speaker 19: all kind of do their own own thing well. But

564
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 19: the last two games we've ran the ball pretty well

565
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:14,360
Speaker 19: and then we're trying to keep building on that.

566
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 2: But you get use those guys, you know, our lines

567
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 2: back and obviously.

568
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:20,879
Speaker 19: Jack, so they're both the guys that have been starting

569
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 19: are back and working together.

570
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:24,360
Speaker 2: So it's, uh, it's been good.

571
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 4: Have you experienced it being like three year and see

572
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:28,119
Speaker 4: what you can sign?

573
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 2: Ye?

574
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 19: I mean we've always you know, obviously when Nick's here,

575
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 19: you know, you got We've had Nick and Kream the

576
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 19: last few years, so that's a pretty good one two punch.

577
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 19: But now we're getting you know, three guys and carries

578
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 19: and and Deer has had to step up a couple

579
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 19: of times for us last you know, a couple of years.

580
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:45,360
Speaker 19: So I think running back some of these specials where

581
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:47,200
Speaker 19: you get guys in there, but I think we're getting

582
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 19: you know, we have three guys that you could get

583
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 19: you know, eight to twelve carries a week and and

584
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 19: kind of spread out the love so they kind of

585
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 19: stay fresh and have different things they're working on if

586
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:57,160
Speaker 19: you guys have to.

587
00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 17: Do with out one this week, you know how well

588
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 17: has been playing and adapting to that past facility.

589
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 19: Yeah, he's you know, hopefully we get him out there.

590
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 19: I don't know the extent of you know, h how

591
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 19: he's feeling and stuff, but he's done a really good job.

592
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,879
Speaker 19: And I think that's his his strength is past pocking.

593
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 19: He's done a really good job coming to that role.

594
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,439
Speaker 19: He's had some tough challenges going in certain guys, but

595
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:22,880
Speaker 19: he's really stepped up to it. And I think if

596
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 19: you watched last few weeks, it's also his run game

597
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 19: assignment has improved, and his understanding of you know, the

598
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 19: NFL and the details that it takes to to be

599
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 19: successful is has continued to prove. So obviously we want

600
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 19: him out there to to keep improving and working. But

601
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 19: you know, he has that raw talent to be to

602
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 19: be as good as he really wants to be. So

603
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 19: we'll keep pushing him and and hopefully he keeps taking

604
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 19: steps and improving.

605
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:47,880
Speaker 14: This is the fifth game now where you're not real

606
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 14: sug where you're starting quarterback is gonna be how just

607
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 14: how taxing has that been on you guys on the

608
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 14: offensive line when it comes to preparing, not not knowing

609
00:24:58,000 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 14: definitively who you're gonna be blocking.

610
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:02,440
Speaker 19: Yeah, I mean obviously we'd rather just be like, yeah,

611
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:04,639
Speaker 19: the Shawn's out there, you know, we're ready to roll,

612
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:10,200
Speaker 19: whether your starting quarterback. But coaches talking about being resilient

613
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 19: all year, and that's kind of what we focus on

614
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 19: the O line, is like we can control week and

615
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 19: control and focus on that. Poe really does a good

616
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:19,920
Speaker 19: job whenever I, you know, talking about so he's like,

617
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 19: we've got a control week control, and and I think

618
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 19: it's a great point, you know, because we can only

619
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:27,160
Speaker 19: do what's called. We can only do blocker who's out there.

620
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 19: And that's kind of been our mindset since you know,

621
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:32,639
Speaker 19: we've had this injury.

622
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:35,360
Speaker 8: Issues and that way is it.

623
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 5: It's got any difficult?

624
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 4: But is it that difficult because you have a job

625
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 4: to do no matter who's back there, Like is isn't

626
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:42,359
Speaker 4: that kind of the focus?

627
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 2: Yeah? I agree with that.

628
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 19: I think we're gonna go out there and we're gonna

629
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 19: have to play seventy snaps of football no matter who's

630
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 19: playing quarterback out there. So it's kind of been the

631
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,920
Speaker 19: old line's mindset and and we like we said control week,

632
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 19: control and and and really just go out there and

633
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 19: focus on our jobs and and like obviously everybody wants

634
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 19: to Shawn to be back when he's ready to go,

635
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 19: but that's really been our mindset less you know.

636
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:05,640
Speaker 4: Four or five weeks Joel, guys are saying out there

637
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 4: the game that you guys worked a screen game all

638
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 4: the time in practice.

639
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:11,400
Speaker 2: So is this the most like you've done that.

640
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 16: Under a coach or a coordinator with Kevin.

641
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:15,680
Speaker 2: And then like just kind of like what goes into

642
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 2: a successful.

643
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:20,200
Speaker 19: Screen Yeah, so since coach the fancy has been here

644
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 19: with Bill and a VP, we always have a screen period,

645
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:25,240
Speaker 19: you know, and it might not be full speed, but

646
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:27,400
Speaker 19: we always have some sort of screen period. Pretty much

647
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:31,120
Speaker 19: every day, especially Wednesday Thursday, we're out there running around

648
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:32,920
Speaker 19: even if I'm not practicing. Usually I'll jump in there

649
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 19: just so I get the timing down and stuff. But

650
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:41,719
Speaker 19: it's really you know, timing, understanding who's out on the screen,

651
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 19: finding your landmarks and now we can't cut, you know,

652
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:47,480
Speaker 19: so it's really and they can't cut us, but it's

653
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 19: really pressing in field, in space, you know, trying to

654
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 19: get bodies on, bodies out there, But the main thing

655
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 19: is the timing aspect. If you can get out when

656
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:59,120
Speaker 19: guys are getting out and no one's downfield, I think

657
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:01,879
Speaker 19: that's when you have the the best opportunity. And I

658
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,200
Speaker 19: think the scheme wise, we have a bunch of different schemes,

659
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:06,400
Speaker 19: so we're not just running the same scheme scheme over

660
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 19: and over. But it does take time, you know, and

661
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:12,359
Speaker 19: we've been working on it for four years now, you know,

662
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 19: trying to get the craze and we've i think since

663
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 19: Kevin's been here, we've we've had a very good you know,

664
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 19: one of the top in the league. So it's something

665
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:21,439
Speaker 19: that we want to pride ourselves on and keep working

666
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:24,199
Speaker 19: and its shown that we can be, you know, one

667
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:25,879
Speaker 19: of the best screen teams in the league.

668
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:30,160
Speaker 2: Carris is rout running skills pretty good.

669
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 19: You know, he hasn't got a ball yet, but uh

670
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:35,359
Speaker 19: but we you know, we want to get him. We

671
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:37,359
Speaker 19: want to get him one here now. He's doing a

672
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 19: great job. I mean, that's a guy that like was

673
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 19: a starter, you know, really since he's been here, he's

674
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 19: you know, practiced like a starter because jac was a

675
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 19: little bit banged up when he was here, and then

676
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:50,159
Speaker 19: obviously he's gotten hurt a couple of times, but we

677
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:52,680
Speaker 19: think of him as like our you know, six lineman,

678
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 19: and for him to get on the field and kind

679
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:55,920
Speaker 19: of take that role as a fullback but also be

680
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:58,399
Speaker 19: able to be our backup center as huge because not

681
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 19: very many teams put a fullback on the on the roster.

682
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,160
Speaker 19: So it's been good for him and we love having

683
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 19: out there. Uh you know, we can we can run

684
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 19: the ball and we can play action off of it too.

685
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:09,879
Speaker 19: You know, when I was a young guy, I was

686
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,119
Speaker 19: really excited. I'm like, give me the ball, and now

687
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 19: I'm just like, I'll just stay in and block. You know,

688
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,680
Speaker 19: I've I've I've lost my edge on that a little bit.

689
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:18,160
Speaker 2: You get excited because.

690
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:19,199
Speaker 4: It looks like they were going to try to go

691
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 4: for him and in the end zone.

692
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:21,160
Speaker 7: Would you get.

693
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:24,639
Speaker 2: I would get excited. I didn't know what option he

694
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 2: was on the route.

695
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,560
Speaker 19: Sometimes he put in a play and it's like one, two, three,

696
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 19: four run and then mix your fifth option, you know

697
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,720
Speaker 19: what I mean. So there's uh there, there's a little

698
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 19: bit of a tree there, but no, I mean we

699
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 19: we had Kennel Lamps score touchdown I think three or

700
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 19: four years ago. When he was playing tight end. So

701
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 19: Ham or James or someone gets a touchdown, I think

702
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 19: I think the old line will get pretty excited.

703
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 2: Has there been a tackle eligible play.

704
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 14: Since you've been here where it was supposed to go

705
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 14: to the tackle but the play never materialized?

706
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:57,680
Speaker 19: Oh gosh, I'm sure it has happened, you know what

707
00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:00,280
Speaker 19: I mean. I remember the Kendle one worked. I think

708
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 19: that's the only only thrown to.

709
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 2: A guy.

710
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 19: We've had plays in for you know, guys before, But

711
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 19: I think that's the only one that's been executed. So

712
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 19: I'm sure there's one or two in there that that

713
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 19: weren't called or weren't executed.

714
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 2: Do you have a favorite big man touchdown?

715
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 19: Oh gosh, Well, Kennell was the one I was part of.

716
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 19: But any of those ones where the guy's wide open

717
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 19: and he's kind of waiting for the ball's flooding up there,

718
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:26,720
Speaker 19: you see that if he's a true athlete or not,

719
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 19: if he's coming down with it.

720
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 10: With James Hudson, I mean, the coaches in the training

721
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 10: camp like praised him and how hard he's worked. Just

722
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 10: how do you think he when he has to step

723
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 10: in and if he has to step in this week.

724
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 2: How he handles that. Yeah, it was big.

725
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 19: You know, he hadn't really got too much extended time

726
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 19: this year, but obviously last game he stepped in and

727
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 19: I thought he played played very solid, and he's been working.

728
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 19: He knows he has to be kind of our big

729
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:53,720
Speaker 19: tight end right side, left side, do it all as

730
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 19: a backup, and he stays ready. I talked to him

731
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 19: a lot, you know, just being like, stay ready, be focused,

732
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 19: you know, as a backup lineman this, and you have

733
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 19: to truly be ready to play at any moment, and

734
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 19: you don't know when it's gonna happen. And he's always

735
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 19: he's always locked in. He's always like, I'm ready, I'm ready.

736
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 19: And uh, with this week we were talking, he's he uh,

737
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 19: we weren't sure if Jed, you know, was gonna get

738
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 19: be able to go and and so I was like,

739
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 19: all right, let's go, you know, if you're ready, He's like,

740
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 19: I'll be ready. That he ended up having to go

741
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 19: on the right side, So it was it was a

742
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 19: little bit different than the reps he got in practice.

743
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 19: But no, his his work ethic in coach Calla and

744
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 19: coach Peters, you know, John all working with them to

745
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 19: make sure the backups are ready to roll.

746
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:29,600
Speaker 14: You guys are rea able to get one hundred and

747
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 14: fifty five yards from the three deaded monster?

748
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 2: Just how are you are? You get?

749
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 14: You guys feeling better with your your run game right now?

750
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 19: Yeah, we've we've been stressing, we've been working it. Especially

751
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:44,240
Speaker 19: you don't have your quarterback one in you know what

752
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 19: I mean. You want to try and lean on the

753
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 19: run a little bit. But it's better. Like I said,

754
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 19: we were bottled up for a couple of weeks there,

755
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 19: but uh, it's it's been waking up a little bit,

756
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 19: I think the last couple of weeks, and I think

757
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 19: we're seeing what you know, Ford's get out, what Pierre's

758
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 19: get out, what Cream's good at, and we can kind

759
00:30:58,560 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 19: of use that to our advantage.

760
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 17: The kind of knows I think are eighth in SAX

761
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 17: with twenty four and eleven guys have at least one,

762
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:08,479
Speaker 17: So even though they're one and seven, I mean, they

763
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 17: can really bring it right.

764
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:11,479
Speaker 10: And what do you guys have to watch out?

765
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 19: Yeah, it's actually pretty impressive to put on tape how

766
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 19: hard they go and how hard they rush, And like

767
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 19: you said, it's not one guy, you know, making all

768
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 19: the plays for him.

769
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 2: They got. They got guys with I think.

770
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 19: We looked at the sheet and knows like four three

771
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 19: and a half, two and a half two and you

772
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 19: know what I mean, like a bunch of guys with

773
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 19: multiple sacks. And I think it's how they play off

774
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 19: each other. They run a lot of games. They kind

775
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 19: of have a couple of fronts that they're moving around

776
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 19: a lot where you have to kind of id who

777
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 19: you want to who you want to block. But it's

778
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 19: really an impressive effort group. Like the guys just keep

779
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 19: going and and sometimes they're like, oh, they walked them

780
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 19: up pretty good, and the guy would just keep turning

781
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 19: the corner step up into a sack and and make

782
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 19: those plays. So it's it's they work well together, is

783
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 19: one of the things I've I've come across. And and

784
00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 19: I think any team you play in this league, you know,

785
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 19: I've been in those situations where you haven't been great,

786
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 19: but teams are fine for wins, and everybody's always playing

787
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 19: for that next game or that next contragract.

788
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 7: There's a lot like Philly.

789
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 2: They do a lot of things like Philly.

790
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 19: Like there's some Philly stuff that that we've taken but

791
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 19: they're pretty multiple. They're probably the most multiple fronts we've

792
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:13,120
Speaker 19: seen this year. You know, they're base three down, but

793
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:15,480
Speaker 19: they have all types of different looks that they can

794
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:16,880
Speaker 19: they can give you, and they kind of do a

795
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 19: weird thing with their SAMs and wheels that are a

796
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 19: little bit off the ball sometimes, but they're still you

797
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:22,440
Speaker 19: gotta account for him and the protection.

798
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 14: Run Now, Joe big.

799
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 21: Kind of a big picture, did you guys talk about

800
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 21: as a group, like how broad you are in the

801
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 21: fact that sometimes injuries happening, you've got just like plug

802
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 21: in pieces and as a group, you guys have been

803
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 21: really steady throughout of course.

804
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:37,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's.

805
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 19: You know, I think coach Callahan does a great job

806
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 19: of stressing to us like this is like every game

807
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 19: we know who's gonna be the first center, in the

808
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 19: first guard, in the first tackle, and who's gonna be

809
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 19: up who's gonna be down. So there's always a stress

810
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 19: of like, hey, you have to prepare for these positions.

811
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 19: And I think it's a credit to the guys and

812
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 19: the coaching that they're always usually pretty ready and they

813
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:01,720
Speaker 19: understand what they're doing when they come in the game.

814
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 19: But it's something you don't want to talk about We're like,

815
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:07,440
Speaker 19: oh yeah, you know, O line if people get banged up,

816
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 19: But it's it's one of those tough positions in this league.

817
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 2: It's NFL.

818
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 19: But I think, you know, we've done a good job

819
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 19: of that and it's really that next man up mentality.

820
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 1: After the players wrapped up, the coordinators talked to the

821
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 1: media next. It was special teams coordinator bub event Tron

822
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 1: who went first. He talked about how the special teams

823
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 1: unit can continue to improve and what Elijah Moore brought

824
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 1: to the return game last week.

825
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 10: Well, but you guys are number one right now in

826
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:33,360
Speaker 10: special teams efficiency.

827
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 19: What do you make of that?

828
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:37,560
Speaker 8: And where are some ways that you can get better?

829
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:41,240
Speaker 12: As good as you've been so far, I think we

830
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 12: need to improve in the return game. You know, we're

831
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 12: missing a few opportunities and we're close.

832
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:49,640
Speaker 8: We're definitely close.

833
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:54,960
Speaker 12: Last year whenever I was with you know, my old team,

834
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:56,960
Speaker 12: we start out a little slow too, and then we

835
00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 12: ramped it up the second half of the season, ended

836
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 12: up leading the league and kick turn. So I'm excited

837
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:05,360
Speaker 12: about our group moving forward, and you know, we're definitely

838
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 12: close on the on those units.

839
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 22: How do you improve that is it? Is it something technical?

840
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:12,840
Speaker 8: Is it just?

841
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 12: I think it honestly comes down to just having you know,

842
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:22,040
Speaker 12: time on task repetition, in game repetition. We didn't see

843
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:25,839
Speaker 12: a lot of those opportunities with the same group in

844
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:29,319
Speaker 12: the preseason. So I think that once you have that

845
00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:33,320
Speaker 12: unit built and there's continuity within the group, you have

846
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:35,960
Speaker 12: more reps with each other. You're double teaming with the

847
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 12: same player here and there or over and over again.

848
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:42,440
Speaker 12: I should say, I think that the repetitions is what

849
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 12: what helps you get better. And then obviously the practice

850
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:48,840
Speaker 12: reps have definitely improved. So I think that that's a

851
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:51,040
Speaker 12: that's a good thing for us DPJ.

852
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:55,120
Speaker 17: Who you have, you know, who are your shop candidates.

853
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:58,960
Speaker 12: With DP Yeah, I mean Elijah did it last week,

854
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:02,440
Speaker 12: so I thought he did a solid job. And then

855
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:04,719
Speaker 12: we have some young guys on the practice squad that

856
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:06,440
Speaker 12: you know, will continue to look at.

857
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:08,759
Speaker 8: But I thought Elijah did a solid job last week.

858
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:13,840
Speaker 2: Let something left that decision.

859
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 8: But I know you've been thinking about it to put

860
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:16,240
Speaker 8: Elaija out.

861
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:17,319
Speaker 2: There in that game.

862
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:20,320
Speaker 12: Well, he did it in college, so and I evaluated

863
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 12: him when he was coming out of college.

864
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:24,040
Speaker 8: He's he's a natural catcher.

865
00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 12: You know, he has good, good judgment and he obviously has.

866
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 8: The ability to make make you miss.

867
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:34,320
Speaker 12: So just I felt like we just needed, you know,

868
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:35,960
Speaker 12: a little bit of a spark back there.

869
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:37,839
Speaker 8: Someone over.

870
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:40,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, the couple of guys on the practice squad, I

871
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:42,960
Speaker 4: think they had the junior approaching a great day.

872
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:46,839
Speaker 5: So, uh we sure history whether there's the guys you're.

873
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:48,600
Speaker 2: Considering for a couple of times.

874
00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:51,040
Speaker 12: Yeah, and then Jalen Darden also, you know, did it

875
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:54,319
Speaker 12: for us against San Francisco, So those guys. We're going

876
00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:56,799
Speaker 12: to continue to get all those guys reps and making it,

877
00:35:57,040 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 12: uh evaluation, I guess you would say, or decision at

878
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:03,319
Speaker 12: the end of the week. And it really plays off

879
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:05,880
Speaker 12: of other positions on the team, the health of our

880
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:06,920
Speaker 12: roster and things like that.

881
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,000
Speaker 7: So is the only of.

882
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:11,880
Speaker 6: The tough parts about being a special team squad in

883
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:16,080
Speaker 6: or Bubba when injuries affect each unit, but they could

884
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 6: really affect you, uh like indirectly when you know what

885
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 6: I'm saying here, when when a players injured and you

886
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:25,520
Speaker 6: have to make an adjustment.

887
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:27,840
Speaker 12: Yeah, So like if if we sustain an injury to

888
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 12: you know, any any position group and that guy plays

889
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:36,000
Speaker 12: offense or defense, Right, the next guy up is really

890
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:37,880
Speaker 12: the guy that I've been using. So then we now

891
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:40,520
Speaker 12: now need to find someone else to be able to play.

892
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 8: In those roles.

893
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 12: So yeah, at times it can be challenging, but like

894
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 12: that's that's the name of the game, that's that's the

895
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:48,440
Speaker 12: job description.

896
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:51,239
Speaker 8: So got to figure it out, find a way.

897
00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 12: You do your best to use your personnel as best

898
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 12: you can to match up against the opponent and give

899
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 12: your guys the best chance to make plays. So you

900
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:03,640
Speaker 12: got you always have to be able to adapt, especially

901
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:04,080
Speaker 12: in game.

902
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:05,960
Speaker 8: You know, you used to stay in injuries within a game.

903
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,200
Speaker 12: We had some guys getting nicked up in this past

904
00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:10,640
Speaker 12: game and we had some moving parts, so we had

905
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:13,200
Speaker 12: to we had to address and we were able to

906
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 12: get those adjusted.

907
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:17,120
Speaker 4: What's your kick return average?

908
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:17,560
Speaker 7: You want?

909
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 12: Sorry's honestly, like the average doesn't matter to me.

910
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:22,560
Speaker 8: It's more about the.

911
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:25,799
Speaker 12: Drive start, you know, you know, especially in game. You know,

912
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:28,839
Speaker 12: over the course of the season, everybody ends up having

913
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:32,360
Speaker 12: a very similar drive start. It's it's very it's small

914
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:35,680
Speaker 12: in regards to like, is it twenty five.

915
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:37,080
Speaker 8: Point one, twenty five point two?

916
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 12: Like the average is always because the touchbacks that always

917
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:41,040
Speaker 12: just comes back to that number.

918
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:45,440
Speaker 8: But ideally you'd like to have the drive star.

919
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 12: Rather than the average because not a lot of people

920
00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:50,080
Speaker 12: are bringing the ball out from deep in the end zone.

921
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:51,160
Speaker 8: So if you have a twenty five.

922
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 12: Yard return, you bring it out from five deep, your

923
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:55,320
Speaker 12: ball your the ball's.

924
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:55,560
Speaker 8: At the twenty.

925
00:37:56,000 --> 00:38:02,719
Speaker 12: So yeah, I mean, I would say like each each

926
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:04,799
Speaker 12: time we return the ball, the goal is to get

927
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:09,480
Speaker 12: it past the twenty five. So I think I think

928
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:13,760
Speaker 12: we've been We have been super close on a number

929
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:16,080
Speaker 12: of returns this year, and even in the in the

930
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:19,359
Speaker 12: Seattle game, if we make a block, we're probably out

931
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 12: to the fifty.

932
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:24,799
Speaker 8: So we're damn close. You probably worked with pr as.

933
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:27,000
Speaker 14: Much as anybody in this building, and I haven't seen

934
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 14: him make some tackles for you.

935
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:30,400
Speaker 7: What is it about him that you like?

936
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:32,520
Speaker 8: I mean, he was so explosive when he saw play

937
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 8: offense on Sunday.

938
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:38,520
Speaker 12: Yeah, so he was drafted to the Patriots. We when

939
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 12: in India, we liked him a lot.

940
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 8: He can run.

941
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 12: For me, like, That's one of the traits you obviously

942
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:46,880
Speaker 12: cove it as a special teams coordinator.

943
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:48,040
Speaker 8: Is the ability to run like speed.

944
00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:51,719
Speaker 12: Speed is great and position flexibility he can do a

945
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:53,279
Speaker 12: lot of different things. He can play a lot of

946
00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:57,440
Speaker 12: different positions. He even played some interior punt in New

947
00:38:57,480 --> 00:39:01,080
Speaker 12: England in the preseason. He's played gunner for US obviously,

948
00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:03,239
Speaker 12: can handle the ball as a kick returner, plays on

949
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 12: our kickoff coverage units at times.

950
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:08,200
Speaker 8: So you know, he's a he's a Uh, he's got

951
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:10,480
Speaker 8: great ability to do a lot.

952
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:14,480
Speaker 12: Of different things for us. So you know, he's been

953
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:16,440
Speaker 12: he's been a great addition to the roster. That's a

954
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:19,280
Speaker 12: great move we made at the end of camp, I ab, did.

955
00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:22,400
Speaker 13: You notice Seattle's field will team heads up after what

956
00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:22,800
Speaker 13: happened to?

957
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:26,280
Speaker 8: Ny? Say that again, Seattle Field.

958
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:27,120
Speaker 2: On everybody's eyes up.

959
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:27,880
Speaker 8: What happened to?

960
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:28,799
Speaker 2: Did you notice that?

961
00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:31,759
Speaker 12: It's probably you know, I mean, the awareness will be there,

962
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:33,600
Speaker 12: you know, the rest of the way.

963
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:39,000
Speaker 8: So that probably we'll see, we'll see how it goes.

964
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:42,479
Speaker 13: In terms of scouts, Joey Blow a couple of weeks

965
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:44,440
Speaker 13: in a row has made a big play forces the

966
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:45,680
Speaker 13: coloring for that.

967
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:48,280
Speaker 7: When you look at his specific.

968
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:50,239
Speaker 13: Skill set, the way he's impacted plays.

969
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:53,440
Speaker 12: What stands out to you, Yeah, he runs pretty well. Uh,

970
00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:56,880
Speaker 12: he's impacted those plays really from the gunner position he

971
00:39:56,960 --> 00:40:01,520
Speaker 12: punches at the ball. Emphasis on securing the ball, especially

972
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:04,440
Speaker 12: on that unit with our returners, we're always number one

973
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:06,920
Speaker 12: priority is get the ball back to the offense. So

974
00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:10,600
Speaker 12: catch it, secure it, make good decisions, get the ball

975
00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:14,279
Speaker 12: back to the offense. So we'll have obviously we're we're

976
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:19,400
Speaker 12: always preaching ball security, you know when, to our entire team, offense, defense,

977
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:20,360
Speaker 12: and special teams.

978
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:24,719
Speaker 2: The carters had that outside kicked last week.

979
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:27,120
Speaker 22: I'm just curious when you coach.

980
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:30,239
Speaker 4: That, I can tell you guys to try to catch it.

981
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:34,640
Speaker 6: Before because obviously a bunch of yeah, crazy stuff.

982
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:36,040
Speaker 2: Like is that one of the coaching points.

983
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:38,279
Speaker 12: Yeah, So there's a number of different ways that you

984
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:41,440
Speaker 12: can coach that unit up. There's a number of different

985
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:45,320
Speaker 12: schemes to as far as the recovery aspect.

986
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:45,440
Speaker 8: Of it goes.

987
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:49,880
Speaker 12: Some teams will play one recovery player to where they

988
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:51,799
Speaker 12: think the ball is going, which gives you a little

989
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:55,279
Speaker 12: bit more security inside. Now your light on, your light

990
00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:58,640
Speaker 12: opposite of that recovery player. Some teams will play two

991
00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:05,920
Speaker 12: recovery players. You're light lighter in some areas inside. So yeah,

992
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:09,759
Speaker 12: so there's there's roles based on the types of kicks

993
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:13,280
Speaker 12: you're getting that. We were trying to educate our guys

994
00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:16,080
Speaker 12: every week on Okay, if we get this kick, this

995
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:18,319
Speaker 12: is how we're treating if we get this kick, this

996
00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:20,920
Speaker 12: is how we want to handle it. And that's obviously

997
00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:24,360
Speaker 12: with the kick, with the recovery, and then obviously with

998
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:26,319
Speaker 12: the blocking portion of it as well.

999
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:34,120
Speaker 18: So the punch that you guys had to the forty

1000
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:38,440
Speaker 18: early in the fourth quarter taken from like, what's the

1001
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:39,640
Speaker 18: goal there for Corey?

1002
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 5: Obviously I know you want to avoid the touch back.

1003
00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:44,279
Speaker 7: So yeah, is that what you're looking for?

1004
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:48,000
Speaker 12: I think anything ten inside the ten, like right at

1005
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:50,680
Speaker 12: the ten, I'm like, I'm content with that. Don't want

1006
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:52,960
Speaker 12: to be you obviously want to be aggressive in that

1007
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:55,560
Speaker 12: situation to get the ball in like to the ten

1008
00:41:55,640 --> 00:42:00,000
Speaker 12: at least, But then there's that you don't want to

1009
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:02,319
Speaker 12: be too aggressive and get too much on it.

1010
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:03,000
Speaker 8: That's not an.

1011
00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:06,080
Speaker 12: Easy ball to hit. I thought that he I thought

1012
00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:08,359
Speaker 12: that he played it pretty well. Honestly, I thought he did.

1013
00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 12: I thought he played it pretty well.

1014
00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:13,440
Speaker 2: Do you want of you guys to uh me?

1015
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:16,879
Speaker 6: But sometimes you see the ball hit on the flour

1016
00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:20,120
Speaker 6: or whatever, and they're waiting for it to bounce at

1017
00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:22,200
Speaker 6: the one then it goes in the end zone. Yeah,

1018
00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:24,840
Speaker 6: so do you want your guys to to make.

1019
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:26,480
Speaker 12: Sure that No, I would never I would never want

1020
00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:27,919
Speaker 12: my guy to let the ball hit at the four.

1021
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:30,600
Speaker 12: You don't want to be at how we coach our

1022
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:32,640
Speaker 12: players is, you don't want to be at the mercy

1023
00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:35,880
Speaker 12: of the bounce in the plus fifty situations. So ideally,

1024
00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:38,440
Speaker 12: if you're the gunner and the balls about the hit,

1025
00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:42,600
Speaker 12: I would say, unless you're truly in position with your butt,

1026
00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:46,400
Speaker 12: you know, parallel, and you you're facing the opposite end zone,

1027
00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:49,120
Speaker 12: you don't want to let that thing hit inside the

1028
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:50,600
Speaker 12: eight yard line. If you can make a play on

1029
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:52,399
Speaker 12: the ball at the eight, then we'd like to catch

1030
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:55,040
Speaker 12: it in the air if we can. But yeah, we

1031
00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:56,319
Speaker 12: don't want to be at the mercy of the bounce.

1032
00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:57,440
Speaker 12: We want to be able to fill the ball in

1033
00:42:57,440 --> 00:43:01,000
Speaker 12: the air if we can. I would say, like inside

1034
00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:03,600
Speaker 12: the ten, you just don't know which way the ball

1035
00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:07,040
Speaker 12: is gonna bounce, even if you're in position, you know.

1036
00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:07,759
Speaker 7: So.

1037
00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:10,399
Speaker 1: Offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt was next. He talked about

1038
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:12,880
Speaker 1: how important the screen game was for the team last

1039
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:15,160
Speaker 1: week and who the team's gonna have step up at

1040
00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:18,560
Speaker 1: wide receiver in absence of Donovan people's jones, which we're

1041
00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:19,160
Speaker 1: all trying.

1042
00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:20,480
Speaker 5: To assess whether we thought to Sean.

1043
00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:25,120
Speaker 7: What you think a little bit? I thought a little

1044
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:25,640
Speaker 7: bit better too.

1045
00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:34,200
Speaker 23: Yeah, he looked better progressing, Yeah, always always, you know,

1046
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:36,520
Speaker 23: and it's you know, he he doesn't look better than

1047
00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:39,400
Speaker 23: he looked last time he threw in a practice, So

1048
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:40,120
Speaker 23: that's positive.

1049
00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:44,239
Speaker 7: Feels like it.

1050
00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:46,640
Speaker 23: You know, it's just naked eye, but yeah, I think

1051
00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:48,160
Speaker 23: he's feeling.

1052
00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:51,759
Speaker 22: Better after how you you guys went through with in

1053
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:56,239
Speaker 22: the How are you what are you looking for specifically

1054
00:43:56,280 --> 00:44:00,439
Speaker 22: out of him to make the final decision that work.

1055
00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:02,080
Speaker 2: We feel comfortable that we can start.

1056
00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:04,799
Speaker 23: That's yeah, that's probably a question more for keV, but

1057
00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:06,640
Speaker 23: I think for a quarterback, you just want to be

1058
00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:09,160
Speaker 23: able to make all the throws. There's anything that that

1059
00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:11,640
Speaker 23: you still can't do then, you know, but as long

1060
00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:13,480
Speaker 23: as you feel confident that you can make the throws

1061
00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:17,080
Speaker 23: down the field short accurately, you know, that's that's.

1062
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:19,520
Speaker 7: Where we want to be sure who starting receiver.

1063
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:22,239
Speaker 23: Who is our new starting receiver. We're gonna play by

1064
00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:24,720
Speaker 23: committee out there. We'll see who hinds up out there first,

1065
00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:27,560
Speaker 23: but big shoes to fill. I mean, just hats off

1066
00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:30,600
Speaker 23: to Donovan. Sorry to see him leave obviously as a

1067
00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:34,719
Speaker 23: player and a person, but excited for his opportunity. You know,

1068
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:36,720
Speaker 23: we'll have to have a couple of guys fill those shoes.

1069
00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:40,920
Speaker 23: But yeah, I think he's one of the guys that

1070
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:43,839
Speaker 23: definitely will be in the mix there. You know, he'll

1071
00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:46,600
Speaker 23: he'll find his way. It'll it'll get him more involved

1072
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:48,680
Speaker 23: than he has been in the past. You know, Marquis

1073
00:44:48,719 --> 00:44:50,879
Speaker 23: will be in there. We'll we'll roll guys through that.

1074
00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:53,000
Speaker 8: Spot the street.

1075
00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:54,960
Speaker 4: And what have you seen in these practices?

1076
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:56,560
Speaker 10: Is he improved in any.

1077
00:44:56,400 --> 00:44:58,040
Speaker 7: Area or absolutely?

1078
00:44:58,080 --> 00:44:59,640
Speaker 23: You know, he's a guy that we were high on

1079
00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:01,480
Speaker 23: come out of camp, made a lot of plays in

1080
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:04,560
Speaker 23: training camp for us, made plays in the preseason, and

1081
00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:06,640
Speaker 23: then just really just starting to ease him back into

1082
00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:08,799
Speaker 23: it the last couple of weeks and now this is gonna.

1083
00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:10,919
Speaker 7: Accelerate that maturation for him.

1084
00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:14,200
Speaker 23: But big body, big target, you know, brings a lot

1085
00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:16,040
Speaker 23: in the run game as far as a force blocker,

1086
00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:19,719
Speaker 23: and then can make plays, contested plays, high point the ball,

1087
00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:20,759
Speaker 23: the things that he does well.

1088
00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:22,720
Speaker 7: So he'll definitely be more involved.

1089
00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:29,120
Speaker 6: So exactly, we had a lead yesterday, did Sean throw

1090
00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:32,880
Speaker 6: those balls down the field to your satisfaction.

1091
00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:35,879
Speaker 23: And yeah, see definitely, Yeah, we pushed some balls down

1092
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:36,919
Speaker 23: the field for sure.

1093
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:41,360
Speaker 6: So what do you just had this to be another

1094
00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:45,600
Speaker 6: situation like the Baltimore game where he goes out there

1095
00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:48,000
Speaker 6: before the game and then you decide if.

1096
00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:48,359
Speaker 22: You get plays.

1097
00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:50,160
Speaker 23: I don't know if it'll come down to that long,

1098
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:51,960
Speaker 23: but we'll see, you know, we're taking the day by

1099
00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:54,440
Speaker 23: day right now. Yesterday he put a good practice together.

1100
00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:56,360
Speaker 23: We'll see how it goes today, how he feels today,

1101
00:45:56,400 --> 00:45:58,719
Speaker 23: and we'll do the same with Friday and all the

1102
00:45:58,760 --> 00:45:59,560
Speaker 23: way up to Sunday.

1103
00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:03,960
Speaker 7: But feel feel better about where he is after yesterday's

1104
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:04,800
Speaker 7: work when.

1105
00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:09,560
Speaker 14: He challenging this sweet six five day, five week.

1106
00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:11,840
Speaker 4: To six of humans injuries and just how.

1107
00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:15,560
Speaker 14: Challenging has this been going crew weeks where you're not

1108
00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:18,319
Speaker 14: sure who your starting quarterback is and you're you're trying

1109
00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:18,600
Speaker 14: to get.

1110
00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:19,000
Speaker 16: Him solve that.

1111
00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:21,200
Speaker 23: Yeah, I mean, obviously we'd love to have him out there,

1112
00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:22,799
Speaker 23: love to keep him healthy the whole time and have

1113
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:25,360
Speaker 23: him out there every every game, But that's the reality

1114
00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:27,920
Speaker 23: of the NFL. You know, it's not just that position obviously,

1115
00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:30,800
Speaker 23: it's you know, it's heightened when it's the starting quarterback,

1116
00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:33,720
Speaker 23: but we go through that at every other position all

1117
00:46:33,800 --> 00:46:37,359
Speaker 23: the time. We're always you know, plugging guys in next

1118
00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:39,280
Speaker 23: man up mentality, and that's across the board.

1119
00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:41,000
Speaker 7: Just you know, it gets heightened when it's the QB.

1120
00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:44,719
Speaker 17: Does the fact that you guys have the Baltimore game

1121
00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:48,760
Speaker 17: and the Steelers game right after this one factor into.

1122
00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:50,480
Speaker 8: Your decision to play or not right dish?

1123
00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:52,440
Speaker 23: Yeah, I don't. I don't even know if that that

1124
00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:54,920
Speaker 23: plays a role in it right now. You just you know,

1125
00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:56,640
Speaker 23: we'll put a healthy dish on out when he's healthy

1126
00:46:56,640 --> 00:46:57,239
Speaker 23: and ready to go.

1127
00:46:58,000 --> 00:46:59,160
Speaker 7: Couldn't tell you when that'll be.

1128
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:01,240
Speaker 5: You know, we're looking at the Cardinals.

1129
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:03,080
Speaker 16: They see to have a lot.

1130
00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:04,759
Speaker 13: Of different budgets that are productive.

1131
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:06,759
Speaker 7: They are among the league's best.

1132
00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:08,280
Speaker 8: At sacks, attacks for loss.

1133
00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:10,560
Speaker 13: When you play against a team that seems to add

1134
00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:12,880
Speaker 13: the bullets trying to flight and lots.

1135
00:47:12,680 --> 00:47:17,680
Speaker 7: Of different areas, does that make it more difficult community playing? Yeah, definitely.

1136
00:47:17,719 --> 00:47:21,680
Speaker 23: They're multiple in what they do, multiple personnel groupings, you know,

1137
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:25,520
Speaker 23: multiple coverage as structures. Their pressure package is good. So yeah,

1138
00:47:25,560 --> 00:47:28,719
Speaker 23: it's definitely a week of preparation for us. You know,

1139
00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:31,799
Speaker 23: they present you some different looks that you're not used

1140
00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:35,200
Speaker 23: to seeing. So, like every other week, you just got

1141
00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:36,840
Speaker 23: to dump out the bucket of stuff you learned a

1142
00:47:36,880 --> 00:47:40,200
Speaker 23: week before and refocus on this defense. And they do

1143
00:47:40,280 --> 00:47:42,879
Speaker 23: present you some challenges, but you know, I feel good

1144
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:47,840
Speaker 23: after coming out of Seattle. Our communication was superb. You know,

1145
00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:50,719
Speaker 23: our operation was great. Had one false start in a

1146
00:47:51,120 --> 00:47:54,080
Speaker 23: bad spot, So I feel like we're focused in right now.

1147
00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:56,120
Speaker 23: We're doing a great job of preparation during the week,

1148
00:47:56,160 --> 00:47:57,560
Speaker 23: and we'll be ready on Sunday.

1149
00:47:57,880 --> 00:48:01,400
Speaker 4: We know how competitive is shown, how you know he

1150
00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:02,120
Speaker 4: kind of have been.

1151
00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:04,799
Speaker 22: He might have pushed himself a little bit to get

1152
00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:05,399
Speaker 22: back to Indy.

1153
00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:09,479
Speaker 4: What is your guys, that's strategy with him and knowing

1154
00:48:09,560 --> 00:48:11,520
Speaker 4: his personality and knowing he wants to be out there

1155
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:14,120
Speaker 4: to kind of pulling him back in and say, hey,

1156
00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:16,239
Speaker 4: you know, we gotta take this stuff by step.

1157
00:48:16,280 --> 00:48:17,600
Speaker 5: How do you kind of do that in such a.

1158
00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:18,240
Speaker 16: Kind of effort.

1159
00:48:18,280 --> 00:48:19,319
Speaker 7: It's tough. I mean it's tough.

1160
00:48:19,320 --> 00:48:21,080
Speaker 23: He doesn't want to hear that, you know for sure,

1161
00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:24,080
Speaker 23: But I think collectively, uh, you know, between A B

1162
00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:27,280
Speaker 23: and Kevin, they'll make the right decision with his input obviously.

1163
00:48:26,960 --> 00:48:29,799
Speaker 7: But you know, we'll see how this week goes. Every

1164
00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:30,160
Speaker 7: day is a.

1165
00:48:30,120 --> 00:48:32,440
Speaker 23: Different day, you know, and everything's been moving in the

1166
00:48:32,520 --> 00:48:33,799
Speaker 23: right direction this week.

1167
00:48:33,880 --> 00:48:36,480
Speaker 6: So next man, enough to expect.

1168
00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:37,640
Speaker 5: You have Duwan Jones.

1169
00:48:39,360 --> 00:48:42,000
Speaker 23: I you know, I'm you know, he's dealing with something now,

1170
00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:44,879
Speaker 23: but I think he feels okay right at this point.

1171
00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:48,120
Speaker 23: We'll see again day to day with him, but I

1172
00:48:48,160 --> 00:48:50,719
Speaker 23: think you should have a chance with PG.

1173
00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:54,240
Speaker 17: How do you, you know, keep the aggressiveness and cut down.

1174
00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:55,080
Speaker 16: On the percent.

1175
00:48:55,320 --> 00:48:56,960
Speaker 7: It's such a fine line, it really is.

1176
00:48:57,000 --> 00:49:00,960
Speaker 23: You know, the interception at the end there, that's freak deal,

1177
00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:03,080
Speaker 23: hits off a helmet, goes fifty feet in the air.

1178
00:49:03,719 --> 00:49:05,480
Speaker 23: The one we had earlier was kind of a combination

1179
00:49:05,560 --> 00:49:07,279
Speaker 23: of three different guys. You know, we were a little

1180
00:49:07,320 --> 00:49:10,239
Speaker 23: laid on, a snap got edged and protection had to

1181
00:49:10,239 --> 00:49:11,080
Speaker 23: move them off the spot.

1182
00:49:11,239 --> 00:49:11,400
Speaker 8: You know.

1183
00:49:11,520 --> 00:49:13,279
Speaker 23: Dave kind of slowed down a here, the ball flew

1184
00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:15,480
Speaker 23: a little bit. So that's a tough One'd like to

1185
00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:17,440
Speaker 23: get that back. But whatever it is, you know, we

1186
00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:21,120
Speaker 23: talked about it in our team meeting on Wednesday when

1187
00:49:21,120 --> 00:49:21,879
Speaker 23: the guys came back.

1188
00:49:21,960 --> 00:49:24,080
Speaker 7: Just the importance of the ball. You know, we're terrible

1189
00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:24,799
Speaker 7: at it right now.

1190
00:49:26,160 --> 00:49:27,600
Speaker 23: I've been on teams where all you do is talk

1191
00:49:27,640 --> 00:49:29,480
Speaker 23: about ball security and all you do is turn it over.

1192
00:49:29,840 --> 00:49:31,600
Speaker 23: I've been on teams you never talk about it once,

1193
00:49:31,680 --> 00:49:33,279
Speaker 23: never do a drill, and you never turn it over.

1194
00:49:33,719 --> 00:49:34,799
Speaker 7: It's just that fine line.

1195
00:49:34,840 --> 00:49:36,600
Speaker 23: We just have to be hyper focused and when we're

1196
00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:39,359
Speaker 23: in traffic, whether it be in the pocket or with

1197
00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:40,879
Speaker 23: the ball in our hand down the field as a runner,

1198
00:49:40,960 --> 00:49:42,520
Speaker 23: we have to make sure we're doing everything we can

1199
00:49:42,920 --> 00:49:44,799
Speaker 23: with our fundamentals and our techniques to take care of

1200
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:46,920
Speaker 23: the ball. Decision making for the quarterbacks a huge part

1201
00:49:46,960 --> 00:49:50,000
Speaker 23: of that as well. It's definitely something we've addressed. I

1202
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:51,799
Speaker 23: feel like, if you know, we take the turnovers out

1203
00:49:51,840 --> 00:49:53,799
Speaker 23: of the games we've lost, we're going to at least

1204
00:49:53,800 --> 00:49:55,439
Speaker 23: be in a position to have a chance to win them.

1205
00:49:55,480 --> 00:49:57,440
Speaker 23: So we got to find a way to take care

1206
00:49:57,480 --> 00:49:58,279
Speaker 23: of the ball at all cost.

1207
00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:02,040
Speaker 4: With Dave to Joku, seems like he's been more involved

1208
00:50:02,040 --> 00:50:05,080
Speaker 4: in the passing game late. He was at like, you

1209
00:50:05,120 --> 00:50:07,040
Speaker 4: guys make a considered an effort to do that.

1210
00:50:07,239 --> 00:50:08,360
Speaker 7: Why has he been able to have it?

1211
00:50:08,480 --> 00:50:08,640
Speaker 12: Yeah?

1212
00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:10,080
Speaker 23: Well, Day's one of those guys where you want the

1213
00:50:10,080 --> 00:50:12,480
Speaker 23: ball in his hands. You know, he's such a violent runner.

1214
00:50:12,960 --> 00:50:16,279
Speaker 23: With the speed and the size. Anyway we could find

1215
00:50:16,280 --> 00:50:19,040
Speaker 23: the ways to get him the ball and let him

1216
00:50:19,040 --> 00:50:22,160
Speaker 23: take off is something. Yeah, obviously we're gonna highlight our

1217
00:50:22,719 --> 00:50:24,399
Speaker 23: marquee players, and Dave would be one of those.

1218
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:27,359
Speaker 4: You talked about on the interception that he slowed down

1219
00:50:27,360 --> 00:50:30,560
Speaker 4: a little bit PJ. So that after the game, is

1220
00:50:30,560 --> 00:50:32,960
Speaker 4: that the right decision to slow down because the guy

1221
00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:35,160
Speaker 4: sitting there or he just have to keep running.

1222
00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:37,919
Speaker 23: Yeah, that's a keep running route for him. We stay

1223
00:50:37,960 --> 00:50:39,759
Speaker 23: on the move on that route. Again, it was a

1224
00:50:39,800 --> 00:50:42,040
Speaker 23: culmination of a couple of different factors on that play.

1225
00:50:42,080 --> 00:50:43,840
Speaker 23: But there's points there in the red zone that we

1226
00:50:43,880 --> 00:50:45,880
Speaker 23: would like to have had, you know. So we're just

1227
00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:48,160
Speaker 23: shooting ourselves in the foot. We're playing good offensive football.

1228
00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:49,680
Speaker 23: I do feel that. I do feel like the guys

1229
00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:52,000
Speaker 23: are were productive in the run game last week. We

1230
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:53,640
Speaker 23: did a great job with our operation. We had a

1231
00:50:53,680 --> 00:50:57,480
Speaker 23: lot of different motions and shifts and a crowdy, crowded environment, noisy,

1232
00:50:57,719 --> 00:50:59,880
Speaker 23: So I'm really proud of the way those guys prepared.

1233
00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:01,040
Speaker 7: I think we're close.

1234
00:51:01,280 --> 00:51:02,759
Speaker 23: I think we just need a game with the clean

1235
00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:05,640
Speaker 23: slate and the turnover side and we'll feel better.

1236
00:51:06,719 --> 00:51:08,799
Speaker 4: When it comes to the you guys, that's such a

1237
00:51:08,840 --> 00:51:10,000
Speaker 4: successful screen game.

1238
00:51:10,080 --> 00:51:11,560
Speaker 8: I mean, how much do you guys work that. It

1239
00:51:11,560 --> 00:51:13,640
Speaker 8: sounds like he's working a ton. Is it more than

1240
00:51:13,760 --> 00:51:14,919
Speaker 8: other places you've been Oh?

1241
00:51:14,960 --> 00:51:16,200
Speaker 7: Absolutely absolutely.

1242
00:51:16,239 --> 00:51:18,680
Speaker 23: I think Coach Callahan's technique, the way he teaches it,

1243
00:51:19,360 --> 00:51:23,120
Speaker 23: we practice it, you know, every day in a certain

1244
00:51:23,160 --> 00:51:25,839
Speaker 23: segment of practice. So it's something that we've been good

1245
00:51:25,840 --> 00:51:29,040
Speaker 23: at here in our four years together, and you know,

1246
00:51:29,080 --> 00:51:29,959
Speaker 23: it's a strength of ours.

1247
00:51:30,120 --> 00:51:34,880
Speaker 7: The touchdown to Dave really was a design off of

1248
00:51:34,880 --> 00:51:35,600
Speaker 7: our screen game.

1249
00:51:35,680 --> 00:51:37,520
Speaker 23: So we showed screen to both sides to try to

1250
00:51:37,520 --> 00:51:40,000
Speaker 23: pull the linebackers. And it's an old play, it's been

1251
00:51:40,040 --> 00:51:42,719
Speaker 23: around forever. But when you screen well you get those

1252
00:51:42,800 --> 00:51:44,840
Speaker 23: kind of responses, then you can counter back with the

1253
00:51:45,600 --> 00:51:47,600
Speaker 23: kind of change up off of your screen game.

1254
00:51:47,680 --> 00:51:49,719
Speaker 7: So yeah, we do put time in it.

1255
00:51:49,760 --> 00:51:52,640
Speaker 23: We pride ourselves in being a great screen team, and

1256
00:51:52,680 --> 00:51:54,240
Speaker 23: it was very productive in Seattle.

1257
00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:56,799
Speaker 10: So I know people always say like it takes all

1258
00:51:56,840 --> 00:51:59,040
Speaker 10: a lot and on every play, but is that truly.

1259
00:51:58,760 --> 00:52:00,080
Speaker 8: One of those plays where it really takes.

1260
00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:03,040
Speaker 7: Absolutely it's taught that way. You know, it's the day one.

1261
00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:05,520
Speaker 23: Since we've been here, we've emphasized screens and we practice

1262
00:52:05,520 --> 00:52:07,759
Speaker 23: screens and we're pretty good at him, you know, and

1263
00:52:07,760 --> 00:52:09,440
Speaker 23: then what else does it do? It slows down the

1264
00:52:09,440 --> 00:52:10,680
Speaker 23: pass rush. Is this a screen?

1265
00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:12,799
Speaker 7: I don't know, it could be, you know.

1266
00:52:12,840 --> 00:52:14,799
Speaker 23: So now you're rushing Dave as a blocker and you're

1267
00:52:14,800 --> 00:52:17,160
Speaker 23: not sure if he's gonna screen you or or block you.

1268
00:52:17,239 --> 00:52:19,520
Speaker 7: So it definitely helps. It all comes together in the

1269
00:52:19,520 --> 00:52:21,960
Speaker 7: scheme with things you got on our turn fifty five

1270
00:52:22,040 --> 00:52:23,520
Speaker 7: yards side of three punning.

1271
00:52:23,320 --> 00:52:24,560
Speaker 2: Backs some games.

1272
00:52:24,680 --> 00:52:27,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, just how do you feel that rotation is going

1273
00:52:27,800 --> 00:52:28,279
Speaker 4: on those three?

1274
00:52:28,360 --> 00:52:30,719
Speaker 5: I know, you know, Kareem was a little frustrated.

1275
00:52:30,239 --> 00:52:33,960
Speaker 14: And get any touches sure in natural fourth quarter.

1276
00:52:33,840 --> 00:52:35,560
Speaker 22: But just we're you out with this one.

1277
00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:38,359
Speaker 23: Really, it's it's by committee right now. Everybody's gonna get

1278
00:52:38,360 --> 00:52:40,839
Speaker 23: their touches, you know. I see all those guys as

1279
00:52:40,880 --> 00:52:43,279
Speaker 23: one one, A, one B H. You know, they could

1280
00:52:43,280 --> 00:52:46,040
Speaker 23: all come in and be productive, which they've shown. That

1281
00:52:46,120 --> 00:52:49,320
Speaker 23: was our plan last week going in, you know, with

1282
00:52:49,320 --> 00:52:51,839
Speaker 23: with the drum coming off of the injury, not sure

1283
00:52:51,880 --> 00:52:53,200
Speaker 23: he was gonna make it, so we just wanted to

1284
00:52:53,200 --> 00:52:55,560
Speaker 23: put him in on third downs early, see how he

1285
00:52:55,600 --> 00:52:57,360
Speaker 23: felt and then know that we could get him the

1286
00:52:57,400 --> 00:52:59,160
Speaker 23: ball on the fourth quarter with fresh legs, So that's

1287
00:52:59,200 --> 00:53:03,080
Speaker 23: kind of how that thing unfolded. But uh, really impressed

1288
00:53:03,080 --> 00:53:04,880
Speaker 23: with all the guys. You know, Kareem right now is

1289
00:53:04,960 --> 00:53:08,080
Speaker 23: running extremely hard. He had some great runs that weren't

1290
00:53:08,080 --> 00:53:11,239
Speaker 23: there and got three yards you know, and stuff that

1291
00:53:11,280 --> 00:53:13,440
Speaker 23: we had free rushers. So really proud of the way

1292
00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:16,880
Speaker 23: he's running with the physicality. You know, Pierre has the

1293
00:53:16,880 --> 00:53:18,960
Speaker 23: speed and the vision he can get on the edge,

1294
00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:21,319
Speaker 23: did some good things in the wide zone game as

1295
00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:23,640
Speaker 23: far as the perimeter game as well, and then drums

1296
00:53:23,640 --> 00:53:25,600
Speaker 23: just that's you know, the sweet feet where he can

1297
00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:28,799
Speaker 23: cut on a diamond, make the move. So really, you know,

1298
00:53:29,719 --> 00:53:31,720
Speaker 23: losing Nick was big. It took a lot of feet

1299
00:53:31,719 --> 00:53:34,680
Speaker 23: to fill those shoes, his shoes. So we're just gonna

1300
00:53:34,760 --> 00:53:37,400
Speaker 23: keep rolling with the with the guys and really happy

1301
00:53:37,400 --> 00:53:38,359
Speaker 23: with all of them right now.

1302
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:41,000
Speaker 4: Some bad luck on that third three call the dirt

1303
00:53:41,080 --> 00:53:44,120
Speaker 4: or interception, How did you feel about that call? Like

1304
00:53:44,160 --> 00:53:46,480
Speaker 4: what was the discussion there during that time out? And

1305
00:53:46,520 --> 00:53:48,520
Speaker 4: then is there anything PJ could have done differently?

1306
00:53:49,600 --> 00:53:52,160
Speaker 7: Obviously out door office, Yeah, it's tough. I mean they

1307
00:53:52,640 --> 00:53:53,280
Speaker 7: brought the pressure.

1308
00:53:53,320 --> 00:53:55,239
Speaker 23: They brought it in the in the B gap to

1309
00:53:55,360 --> 00:53:58,160
Speaker 23: the throw side, you know, and he elevated up and

1310
00:53:58,200 --> 00:53:58,560
Speaker 23: got it.

1311
00:53:58,560 --> 00:54:01,279
Speaker 7: It's it's a day one installation. You know.

1312
00:54:01,320 --> 00:54:03,440
Speaker 23: Oftentimes you just think of players, not it plays in

1313
00:54:03,440 --> 00:54:05,880
Speaker 23: those situations and trying to get you know, Amari the

1314
00:54:05,920 --> 00:54:08,640
Speaker 23: ball in that situation on a day one installation trip

1315
00:54:08,719 --> 00:54:10,879
Speaker 23: double slant with a drag slant to the other side.

1316
00:54:11,440 --> 00:54:14,480
Speaker 23: It's day one installed for a million offenses. It was

1317
00:54:14,520 --> 00:54:17,319
Speaker 23: just a core play. Just unfortunate it happened. But I

1318
00:54:17,360 --> 00:54:19,839
Speaker 23: was totally good with the play call. PJ was on board.

1319
00:54:20,560 --> 00:54:22,360
Speaker 23: Would the second guess that, you know, if that's a

1320
00:54:22,360 --> 00:54:24,359
Speaker 23: completion or an incompletion, it's a different ball game.

1321
00:54:25,040 --> 00:54:29,320
Speaker 13: And how about Nick Harris's skill set play? What you

1322
00:54:29,440 --> 00:54:32,359
Speaker 13: must trust about is dat modicism to put out there

1323
00:54:32,400 --> 00:54:34,400
Speaker 13: as a fullback to get the situations that they not

1324
00:54:34,640 --> 00:54:38,200
Speaker 13: necessarily screaming football here.

1325
00:54:38,640 --> 00:54:38,839
Speaker 7: Yeah.

1326
00:54:39,040 --> 00:54:43,040
Speaker 23: Very talented, very very athletic, you know, very fleet of foot,

1327
00:54:43,239 --> 00:54:44,040
Speaker 23: get around blocks.

1328
00:54:44,040 --> 00:54:45,279
Speaker 7: He can do a lot of things like.

1329
00:54:45,280 --> 00:54:48,640
Speaker 23: His his ability to lead coming out of the backfield

1330
00:54:49,239 --> 00:54:52,719
Speaker 23: can help us in protection as well in certain schemes.

1331
00:54:52,800 --> 00:54:54,480
Speaker 23: But he's a guy that can do it all. Really

1332
00:54:54,480 --> 00:54:57,680
Speaker 23: can't wait to see him catch a pass soon, you know.

1333
00:54:58,040 --> 00:55:00,640
Speaker 23: But he has a really unique skill set and we're

1334
00:55:00,640 --> 00:55:05,520
Speaker 23: trying to find more ways to use him. Yeah, it'd

1335
00:55:05,560 --> 00:55:07,839
Speaker 23: be a good one, right, double screen away, then back

1336
00:55:07,880 --> 00:55:08,799
Speaker 23: to Nick lad I like that.

1337
00:55:08,920 --> 00:55:09,719
Speaker 7: We'll put that in.

1338
00:55:10,280 --> 00:55:12,960
Speaker 1: Jim Schwartz wrapped up the day at the podium, our

1339
00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:15,600
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator, talked about how the defense can improve in

1340
00:55:15,640 --> 00:55:17,560
Speaker 1: the red zone and talked a little bit about the

1341
00:55:17,600 --> 00:55:20,479
Speaker 1: defense's slow starts that they've had over the last couple

1342
00:55:20,520 --> 00:55:20,879
Speaker 1: of weeks.

1343
00:55:21,239 --> 00:55:23,600
Speaker 17: If you don't have Greg, how well has he been

1344
00:55:23,640 --> 00:55:26,399
Speaker 17: playing in the slot for you this season so far?

1345
00:55:26,640 --> 00:55:30,439
Speaker 17: And do you feel good about Cam whoever else you play?

1346
00:55:30,800 --> 00:55:32,600
Speaker 16: Yeah, Cam's had to come in and play for us

1347
00:55:33,080 --> 00:55:33,640
Speaker 16: in the past.

1348
00:55:33,680 --> 00:55:37,960
Speaker 24: He's been reliable to do his job, come in in

1349
00:55:38,040 --> 00:55:40,240
Speaker 24: some situations where he hasn't got a lot of practice

1350
00:55:40,280 --> 00:55:43,600
Speaker 24: reps and gone in and if he has to play

1351
00:55:43,640 --> 00:55:44,320
Speaker 24: this week.

1352
00:55:44,120 --> 00:55:45,920
Speaker 16: He'll have gotten a lot of practice reps.

1353
00:55:46,800 --> 00:55:49,440
Speaker 24: And I think I'll stay in my theme of evaluating

1354
00:55:49,480 --> 00:55:50,120
Speaker 24: all our players.

1355
00:55:50,120 --> 00:55:51,080
Speaker 7: As four and three.

1356
00:55:52,440 --> 00:55:53,960
Speaker 4: Mentioned, I don't know if it was last week and

1357
00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:56,360
Speaker 4: the week before, how you pleased with the red zone

1358
00:55:56,680 --> 00:55:59,520
Speaker 4: defense and the obviously gave him some more touch ups

1359
00:55:59,520 --> 00:56:01,360
Speaker 4: to get to see what do you what do you

1360
00:56:01,360 --> 00:56:03,000
Speaker 4: see if it's not getting done.

1361
00:56:02,760 --> 00:56:06,799
Speaker 24: Down there, then well, I think the biggest thing is

1362
00:56:06,920 --> 00:56:09,000
Speaker 24: we have to stop people from running the ball across

1363
00:56:09,080 --> 00:56:11,080
Speaker 24: our goal line. If we're gonna take pride in being

1364
00:56:11,120 --> 00:56:17,120
Speaker 24: a physical defense, that starts with run defense, and you know,

1365
00:56:17,160 --> 00:56:19,720
Speaker 24: it gets accentuated in the red zone, the field shrinks

1366
00:56:19,719 --> 00:56:22,319
Speaker 24: a little bit and we have to do a better

1367
00:56:22,400 --> 00:56:24,279
Speaker 24: job of stopping the run. I think that's probably the

1368
00:56:24,280 --> 00:56:24,839
Speaker 24: biggest thing.

1369
00:56:26,080 --> 00:56:28,520
Speaker 2: Does it matter to you who plays a quarterback for them?

1370
00:56:29,080 --> 00:56:30,560
Speaker 2: Two guys who haven't played all year?

1371
00:56:30,960 --> 00:56:33,600
Speaker 24: Well yeah, I mean, you know, I mean, it matters

1372
00:56:33,600 --> 00:56:36,200
Speaker 24: who's playing, you know, who's playing left guard, it matters

1373
00:56:36,239 --> 00:56:37,360
Speaker 24: who's playing wide receiver.

1374
00:56:37,440 --> 00:56:39,160
Speaker 16: We're gonna take it all into consideration.

1375
00:56:40,680 --> 00:56:44,239
Speaker 24: I think that you know, we have eight games of

1376
00:56:44,280 --> 00:56:48,719
Speaker 24: their offense on film, and with Dobbsy running it, you know,

1377
00:56:48,760 --> 00:56:50,880
Speaker 24: they ran a lot of quarterback runs. So I wouldn't

1378
00:56:51,080 --> 00:56:55,319
Speaker 24: be surprised if there's anything different with Kyler Murray if

1379
00:56:55,360 --> 00:56:58,680
Speaker 24: he plays, and I would expect, you know, if the

1380
00:56:58,719 --> 00:57:03,279
Speaker 24: rookie plays for them to you know, stay with you know,

1381
00:57:03,320 --> 00:57:06,359
Speaker 24: stay with what they've what they've done. You know, I

1382
00:57:06,360 --> 00:57:09,759
Speaker 24: don't imagine that they would change entire game plan just

1383
00:57:09,760 --> 00:57:12,600
Speaker 24: for one guy. I think there was a reason that

1384
00:57:13,280 --> 00:57:15,080
Speaker 24: they wanted to fit Dobbs into that role.

1385
00:57:15,239 --> 00:57:17,600
Speaker 16: So you know, we're gonna we're gonna look at the scheme.

1386
00:57:17,640 --> 00:57:22,480
Speaker 24: We're gonna take into account players individual strengths and weaknesses

1387
00:57:22,760 --> 00:57:25,240
Speaker 24: as we as we put our scheme together.

1388
00:57:25,320 --> 00:57:29,040
Speaker 16: But we'll be ready whatever they decide to do. It's

1389
00:57:29,040 --> 00:57:32,280
Speaker 16: a big guys run the same stuff. Well he didn't

1390
00:57:32,280 --> 00:57:33,040
Speaker 16: in the preseason.

1391
00:57:33,120 --> 00:57:35,520
Speaker 24: They ran the offense, but he didn't run a lot

1392
00:57:35,520 --> 00:57:37,280
Speaker 24: of the quarterback runs. But you know a lot of

1393
00:57:37,360 --> 00:57:40,480
Speaker 24: teams don't run those quarterback runs in the preseason, right.

1394
00:57:41,040 --> 00:57:44,520
Speaker 16: You know, Well they have it.

1395
00:57:45,280 --> 00:57:47,640
Speaker 24: They have a lot of stuff on tape from the

1396
00:57:47,680 --> 00:57:51,160
Speaker 24: first eight games, you know, and so you know, we're

1397
00:57:51,160 --> 00:57:53,080
Speaker 24: gonna prepare for that scheme, and then we're going to

1398
00:57:53,160 --> 00:57:57,840
Speaker 24: prepare for the individual talents of players. So you know,

1399
00:57:58,120 --> 00:58:00,480
Speaker 24: Tune played a lot in the preseason through a lot

1400
00:58:00,520 --> 00:58:03,840
Speaker 24: of passes, so you know, we have pretty good evaluation

1401
00:58:04,040 --> 00:58:07,400
Speaker 24: of that stuff. And you know, we have, like I said,

1402
00:58:07,440 --> 00:58:10,120
Speaker 24: we have eight games of what they do on offense,

1403
00:58:10,240 --> 00:58:12,360
Speaker 24: and we just got to melt those together. If that's

1404
00:58:12,400 --> 00:58:14,920
Speaker 24: the guy, if it's another guy, then you know we

1405
00:58:14,960 --> 00:58:17,360
Speaker 24: have to melt it together with the individual strengths and

1406
00:58:17,400 --> 00:58:18,720
Speaker 24: weaknesses of that player.

1407
00:58:19,920 --> 00:58:20,480
Speaker 16: You know, So.

1408
00:58:22,640 --> 00:58:24,800
Speaker 8: How good was the Murice first interception on tape?

1409
00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:27,080
Speaker 2: Just how good has he been for you guys this year?

1410
00:58:27,320 --> 00:58:27,520
Speaker 16: Yeah?

1411
00:58:27,600 --> 00:58:30,080
Speaker 24: Most been I don't want to say a pleasant surprise,

1412
00:58:30,160 --> 00:58:31,880
Speaker 24: because he's been a good player. You know, hit a

1413
00:58:31,920 --> 00:58:35,480
Speaker 24: setback with injuries the last few years, and you know,

1414
00:58:35,520 --> 00:58:38,880
Speaker 24: and had a hard time getting started in training camp

1415
00:58:38,920 --> 00:58:40,040
Speaker 24: because of some injuries.

1416
00:58:40,840 --> 00:58:43,440
Speaker 16: But now that he's healthy, he's really made good strides.

1417
00:58:43,480 --> 00:58:46,560
Speaker 24: He's he's attacked before, he was with San Franz, so

1418
00:58:46,640 --> 00:58:49,760
Speaker 24: he's played in the scheme before, so his development probably

1419
00:58:49,840 --> 00:58:51,760
Speaker 24: a little bit ahead of some other guys that have

1420
00:58:51,880 --> 00:58:55,480
Speaker 24: never done it before. Gives us some pass rush and

1421
00:58:55,520 --> 00:58:58,200
Speaker 24: that was just a really outstanding play.

1422
00:58:58,280 --> 00:59:01,840
Speaker 16: You know, we we sort of sant wwiched really good

1423
00:59:01,840 --> 00:59:03,320
Speaker 16: play with really poor play.

1424
00:59:03,600 --> 00:59:05,880
Speaker 24: You know, we started off the first three series and

1425
00:59:06,560 --> 00:59:08,520
Speaker 24: you know, we had a lot of fires to put out.

1426
00:59:08,920 --> 00:59:11,520
Speaker 24: We made a few adjustments and we sort of found

1427
00:59:11,560 --> 00:59:13,960
Speaker 24: our stride and we went seven series of playing about

1428
00:59:13,960 --> 00:59:15,880
Speaker 24: as good a defense as you can play, like punt

1429
00:59:15,920 --> 00:59:19,320
Speaker 24: punt interception, punt, punt interception, punt and then it was

1430
00:59:19,400 --> 00:59:21,600
Speaker 24: just so disappointing to leave it there. At the end

1431
00:59:21,600 --> 00:59:23,720
Speaker 24: of the game. Our offense and needed us the most

1432
00:59:23,840 --> 00:59:27,000
Speaker 24: right there after an interception, they needed us the most,

1433
00:59:27,040 --> 00:59:29,280
Speaker 24: and we didn't get the job done. So we feel

1434
00:59:29,280 --> 00:59:34,360
Speaker 24: a tremendous responsibility for that. But the more plays we

1435
00:59:34,400 --> 00:59:38,400
Speaker 24: can make like Mo made, And an interesting thing with that,

1436
00:59:38,800 --> 00:59:42,320
Speaker 24: he had never practiced that position. You know, we had

1437
00:59:42,360 --> 00:59:46,200
Speaker 24: some injuries with Zadaris and Zidariis and you know, some

1438
00:59:46,320 --> 00:59:49,640
Speaker 24: other guys, and we had sort of mix mix and

1439
00:59:49,760 --> 00:59:53,160
Speaker 24: matched our defensive line guys, and he went in and

1440
00:59:53,320 --> 00:59:55,960
Speaker 24: you know, I mean and most he had got mental

1441
00:59:55,960 --> 00:59:58,600
Speaker 24: reps on that blitz, but went in and executed it

1442
00:59:58,640 --> 01:00:01,840
Speaker 24: really well and then athletically made a really good catch.

1443
01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:05,320
Speaker 24: But you know, we need we need more of that.

1444
01:00:05,440 --> 01:00:08,120
Speaker 24: We need more of that middle of the game. We

1445
01:00:08,200 --> 01:00:10,720
Speaker 24: can't be a feast or famine defense. That's not a

1446
01:00:10,720 --> 01:00:13,520
Speaker 24: way to play that's not a way to play defense.

1447
01:00:13,560 --> 01:00:16,400
Speaker 24: And you know, our run game was feast and famine two.

1448
01:00:16,520 --> 01:00:19,920
Speaker 24: You know, we played, you know, most of our snaps

1449
01:00:20,000 --> 01:00:21,480
Speaker 24: really good in the run game, but then we give

1450
01:00:21,560 --> 01:00:23,960
Speaker 24: up three big plays in the run game, and that's

1451
01:00:23,960 --> 01:00:25,520
Speaker 24: not going to get it done. That's not where we

1452
01:00:25,560 --> 01:00:29,280
Speaker 24: want to be. That's not where we need to go

1453
01:00:29,320 --> 01:00:30,880
Speaker 24: to take this team where we want to go.

1454
01:00:31,480 --> 01:00:35,640
Speaker 13: We're getting any turnovers before that you start going for him.

1455
01:00:36,360 --> 01:00:37,439
Speaker 7: That's what you don't want to see.

1456
01:00:37,760 --> 01:00:39,520
Speaker 16: Now you're getting the turnovers in the tech, but.

1457
01:00:39,600 --> 01:00:40,400
Speaker 2: It's fall up.

1458
01:00:42,680 --> 01:00:44,920
Speaker 16: No, not not in those cases. Tone.

1459
01:00:44,960 --> 01:00:47,640
Speaker 24: I mean like like Moe was doing his job in

1460
01:00:47,760 --> 01:00:51,280
Speaker 24: the scheme. You know, MJ was doing his job in

1461
01:00:51,320 --> 01:00:55,840
Speaker 24: the scheme, playing really good technique. But I think you

1462
01:00:55,880 --> 01:00:58,360
Speaker 24: did see some examples that some of the gaps in

1463
01:00:58,400 --> 01:01:02,800
Speaker 24: our run game were us chasing boots and our eyes

1464
01:01:02,840 --> 01:01:05,160
Speaker 24: got distracted instead of doing our job. In the run game,

1465
01:01:05,200 --> 01:01:07,760
Speaker 24: we were we were trying to make a sack and

1466
01:01:07,920 --> 01:01:10,240
Speaker 24: hard to get a sack on a run play. So

1467
01:01:11,560 --> 01:01:13,760
Speaker 24: you know, so I think that, you know, we have

1468
01:01:13,880 --> 01:01:17,760
Speaker 24: had to guard against that, and you know, I think

1469
01:01:17,800 --> 01:01:21,080
Speaker 24: that there is a you know, there's a fine line

1470
01:01:21,120 --> 01:01:26,640
Speaker 24: between you know, doing your job and and then.

1471
01:01:26,640 --> 01:01:27,760
Speaker 16: Trying to do too much.

1472
01:01:27,800 --> 01:01:31,400
Speaker 24: And we've talked about that at nauseum in here and

1473
01:01:31,560 --> 01:01:33,760
Speaker 24: you know everywhere else. You know, if we just do

1474
01:01:33,840 --> 01:01:35,720
Speaker 24: our job, if we just beat us the best that

1475
01:01:35,840 --> 01:01:38,040
Speaker 24: we can be, the plays will come to us.

1476
01:01:38,280 --> 01:01:41,600
Speaker 16: We don't need to hunt plays and you know, we

1477
01:01:41,640 --> 01:01:42,320
Speaker 16: can make those.

1478
01:01:42,720 --> 01:01:45,680
Speaker 24: I was disappointed in the game that, you know, we

1479
01:01:45,800 --> 01:01:49,200
Speaker 24: missed two or three sacks. I think that really could

1480
01:01:49,200 --> 01:01:53,320
Speaker 24: have changed the complexion of that game. And we can't

1481
01:01:53,600 --> 01:01:56,960
Speaker 24: now change personality because we've missed those sex. We just

1482
01:01:57,000 --> 01:01:58,720
Speaker 24: got to you know, we just got to finish those

1483
01:01:58,720 --> 01:02:01,000
Speaker 24: plays when they come up next time, as opposed to

1484
01:02:01,040 --> 01:02:03,919
Speaker 24: trying to do something different. And you know, I think that,

1485
01:02:04,080 --> 01:02:06,400
Speaker 24: you know, it's probably a tale as old as time

1486
01:02:06,960 --> 01:02:09,480
Speaker 24: from you know, pee Wee to high school to college,

1487
01:02:09,520 --> 01:02:15,600
Speaker 24: the NFL, you know where, you know, playing playing your

1488
01:02:15,760 --> 01:02:18,800
Speaker 24: job and letting the plays come to you as opposed to,

1489
01:02:19,280 --> 01:02:21,640
Speaker 24: you know, trying to and not It's not like our

1490
01:02:21,640 --> 01:02:25,160
Speaker 24: guys trying to play outside the scheme or anything else.

1491
01:02:26,000 --> 01:02:28,440
Speaker 24: It's all right, I see this split, this is what

1492
01:02:28,600 --> 01:02:32,680
Speaker 24: route's coming. And instead of anticipating and playing your technique,

1493
01:02:32,720 --> 01:02:34,480
Speaker 24: all of a sudden, you can jump things a little

1494
01:02:34,480 --> 01:02:36,160
Speaker 24: too much and then you end up with feast or

1495
01:02:36,200 --> 01:02:39,720
Speaker 24: famine football. But for the most part, I don't think

1496
01:02:39,760 --> 01:02:41,280
Speaker 24: that was the thing in this game. We just had

1497
01:02:41,280 --> 01:02:44,800
Speaker 24: a hard time getting started. Took us a few series

1498
01:02:44,840 --> 01:02:48,400
Speaker 24: to really find some some footing. We changed, we changed

1499
01:02:48,440 --> 01:02:50,760
Speaker 24: an awful lot in those first three series, and I

1500
01:02:50,800 --> 01:02:53,360
Speaker 24: was really proud of the guys because they really found

1501
01:02:53,400 --> 01:02:55,800
Speaker 24: their footing. But then the way we ended that game

1502
01:02:56,000 --> 01:02:59,360
Speaker 24: was was extremely disappointing for all of us.

1503
01:03:00,640 --> 01:03:04,320
Speaker 6: It starts high, Smith, I know, when those Steel's got

1504
01:03:04,320 --> 01:03:05,760
Speaker 6: that one touchdown.

1505
01:03:05,280 --> 01:03:07,120
Speaker 19: But still you guys are doing.

1506
01:03:06,920 --> 01:03:10,000
Speaker 6: At more points in the first quarter in any other quarter.

1507
01:03:10,120 --> 01:03:11,840
Speaker 12: So do you have an.

1508
01:03:11,760 --> 01:03:14,840
Speaker 6: Explanation for that or what we do get better starts?

1509
01:03:14,960 --> 01:03:16,320
Speaker 24: Yeah, I mean you could look at a lot of ways.

1510
01:03:16,360 --> 01:03:22,520
Speaker 24: Maybe we make really good adjustments. Yeah, you know, we

1511
01:03:22,680 --> 01:03:27,840
Speaker 24: talk about starting fast, but you know you're gonna have

1512
01:03:27,960 --> 01:03:32,600
Speaker 24: things when when a game's new that an offense is

1513
01:03:32,640 --> 01:03:34,920
Speaker 24: doing something maybe a little bit different, and we have

1514
01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:38,400
Speaker 24: to make adjustment to what that is. I think in

1515
01:03:38,440 --> 01:03:41,320
Speaker 24: those first series we just have to play our technique

1516
01:03:41,360 --> 01:03:44,000
Speaker 24: and our responsibility and if we do that that, like

1517
01:03:44,200 --> 01:03:45,320
Speaker 24: the our messages, that's.

1518
01:03:45,280 --> 01:03:48,320
Speaker 16: Enough if we if we do those things.

1519
01:03:48,360 --> 01:03:52,520
Speaker 24: So you know, there's always I mean, there's a game

1520
01:03:52,600 --> 01:03:57,240
Speaker 24: is sixty minutes long, seasons now or seventeen plus weeks,

1521
01:03:57,880 --> 01:04:00,680
Speaker 24: there's gonna be a lot of adjustments and ebbs and

1522
01:04:00,760 --> 01:04:03,200
Speaker 24: flows of a season, right, you know, there's gonna be

1523
01:04:03,240 --> 01:04:05,360
Speaker 24: things that an offense does. They try to take advantage

1524
01:04:05,360 --> 01:04:07,560
Speaker 24: of what you do, and then you know, and then

1525
01:04:07,600 --> 01:04:10,760
Speaker 24: the defense takes countermeasures, and then the offense. I mean

1526
01:04:11,400 --> 01:04:14,720
Speaker 24: that's a constant thing throughout a season but also throughout

1527
01:04:14,720 --> 01:04:18,240
Speaker 24: a game. But yeah, we need to start better. We

1528
01:04:18,280 --> 01:04:22,720
Speaker 24: need to start faster, and we need to stop the run.

1529
01:04:22,760 --> 01:04:25,680
Speaker 24: And the games that we've stopped the run, we've played

1530
01:04:25,720 --> 01:04:27,960
Speaker 24: really well in games that we've been leaky in the

1531
01:04:28,040 --> 01:04:30,160
Speaker 24: run game, whether it was this last one giving up

1532
01:04:30,200 --> 01:04:33,320
Speaker 24: a few big plays or a game like the Colts

1533
01:04:33,320 --> 01:04:35,720
Speaker 24: where we just we just gave up a lot of

1534
01:04:36,960 --> 01:04:39,920
Speaker 24: smaller games, but we didn't control the run game Baltimore.

1535
01:04:39,920 --> 01:04:41,200
Speaker 16: We didn't control the run game.

1536
01:04:41,400 --> 01:04:43,600
Speaker 24: When we control the run game, good things happen for

1537
01:04:43,680 --> 01:04:45,560
Speaker 24: us on defense, and that's our focus.

1538
01:04:45,960 --> 01:04:49,440
Speaker 17: I had say, knowing your personnel so well, and then

1539
01:04:49,520 --> 01:04:52,640
Speaker 17: Jonathan in having taken over for you and from deloping

1540
01:04:52,680 --> 01:04:56,000
Speaker 17: and probably knowing a lot of nuances of your scheme,

1541
01:04:56,760 --> 01:04:58,440
Speaker 17: do you just do what you do or do you

1542
01:04:58,480 --> 01:05:01,320
Speaker 17: have to change up here some your books in fronts.

1543
01:05:01,040 --> 01:05:02,200
Speaker 11: To kind of cross them up a bit.

1544
01:05:02,520 --> 01:05:06,040
Speaker 24: Well, we have he was here too, so we have

1545
01:05:06,120 --> 01:05:08,560
Speaker 24: a we have a lot of experience in our building

1546
01:05:08,640 --> 01:05:13,360
Speaker 24: with him too, so that probably works both ways. You know,

1547
01:05:13,520 --> 01:05:15,640
Speaker 24: I'm sure all my playbooks were on the server when

1548
01:05:15,640 --> 01:05:20,200
Speaker 24: I left Philadelphia. But you know, people change terminology, they

1549
01:05:20,520 --> 01:05:23,080
Speaker 24: you know, adapt to their players. What we're doing now

1550
01:05:24,440 --> 01:05:28,400
Speaker 24: is probably about maybe forty or fifty percent different than

1551
01:05:28,480 --> 01:05:30,360
Speaker 24: what we did in Philadelphia, not just because we have

1552
01:05:30,400 --> 01:05:32,840
Speaker 24: different players, but because the league goes through ebbs and

1553
01:05:32,880 --> 01:05:34,400
Speaker 24: flows and.

1554
01:05:34,000 --> 01:05:35,320
Speaker 16: You know, different things like that.

1555
01:05:35,520 --> 01:05:40,600
Speaker 24: So, you know, and we also have a significant number

1556
01:05:40,640 --> 01:05:42,880
Speaker 24: of different faces on defense.

1557
01:05:42,920 --> 01:05:44,160
Speaker 16: So you know, when it's all said.

1558
01:05:44,040 --> 01:05:46,040
Speaker 24: And done, it might help with a little bit of preparation,

1559
01:05:46,520 --> 01:05:49,680
Speaker 24: might make our preparation a little bit easier at times.

1560
01:05:50,080 --> 01:05:51,960
Speaker 16: But when it comes down to it, it's Sunday.

1561
01:05:52,000 --> 01:05:57,040
Speaker 24: It's going out and performing and executing and playing you know, physical.

1562
01:05:56,720 --> 01:05:59,000
Speaker 16: And playing with effort and playing with some passion.

1563
01:05:58,680 --> 01:05:59,120
Speaker 7: For the game.

1564
01:06:00,120 --> 01:06:02,360
Speaker 4: That's why you were in not being able to get

1565
01:06:02,400 --> 01:06:03,920
Speaker 4: that last stop after the interception.

1566
01:06:04,280 --> 01:06:07,520
Speaker 24: What did you identify as over the biggest Yeah, well

1567
01:06:07,520 --> 01:06:09,400
Speaker 24: it was it was the one play missing tackle.

1568
01:06:09,600 --> 01:06:10,840
Speaker 16: You know, they fell a short pass.

1569
01:06:10,880 --> 01:06:13,760
Speaker 24: We we end up in zone on that play, and

1570
01:06:14,200 --> 01:06:17,760
Speaker 24: you know we had we had uh, you know, played

1571
01:06:17,800 --> 01:06:20,200
Speaker 24: a good technique in the zone. The force from the

1572
01:06:20,200 --> 01:06:22,920
Speaker 24: throw a three or four yard and then missed miss

1573
01:06:23,040 --> 01:06:25,000
Speaker 24: tackle and that put him in field goal range. And

1574
01:06:25,040 --> 01:06:27,480
Speaker 24: then all of a sudden they're in field goal range,

1575
01:06:27,520 --> 01:06:31,320
Speaker 24: and you know, the game completely changes. So that's probably

1576
01:06:31,360 --> 01:06:33,200
Speaker 24: and you know, the exact same thing happened to us

1577
01:06:33,240 --> 01:06:37,280
Speaker 24: in San Fran. San Fran was man right, but you

1578
01:06:37,280 --> 01:06:39,680
Speaker 24: know it got a completion. And and when we're going

1579
01:06:39,760 --> 01:06:42,120
Speaker 24: to do some more stuff in some two minute situations

1580
01:06:42,120 --> 01:06:46,240
Speaker 24: in practice, you know, and and just add add to

1581
01:06:46,320 --> 01:06:49,000
Speaker 24: our periods a little bit more because when the game's

1582
01:06:49,080 --> 01:06:51,040
Speaker 24: on the line like that, we have to perform better.

1583
