1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:05,760
Speaker 1: You're really against that home the idea of keeping track

2
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:10,560
Speaker 1: of what's going on and recognizing the playoffs. So you

3
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:13,960
Speaker 1: got to focus on what's the head of you, which

4
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:16,079
Speaker 1: is what the most important thing is, which is not

5
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:22,640
Speaker 1: easy to do for you know, people that work players, coaches, organizations.

6
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,280
Speaker 1: It doesn't know good looking four weeks ahead, three weeks ahead.

7
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 1: You have to focus on what's the most important. That's

8
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 1: just what I believe in. I think they'll take another

9
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 1: step today and hopeful for both of them, but we'll see.

10
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:43,199
Speaker 1: Let's say, finished going through the protocol regime, and obviously

11
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 1: the doctor are you know, we're gonna make their decision.

12
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 1: But with two concussions in the short period of time,

13
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:49,479
Speaker 1: is does that add any apprehension or is it just

14
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:51,959
Speaker 1: because clearly gets quar Yeah, I let them. I let

15
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 1: the medical experts handle that. Any doubt about Leonards being

16
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 1: able to say normal, normal Friday, you know, with guys

17
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: that would make decisions on to go through today, see

18
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: where we're at, and then you know, we'll discuss it tonight. Davis,

19
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,400
Speaker 1: I don't have a stat for you. You You might have it. Um.

20
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: It seems like Dexter has played an awful lot of

21
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: snaps this season and really effective. Laton. What strikes you

22
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: about him? He's a good player for us, centerpiece of

23
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: the defense. You know, he's strong on the inside. I'd

24
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:30,199
Speaker 1: say Rush is a pastor well affects the quarterback, stops

25
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: to run things that a good defensive tackle needs to do.

26
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,680
Speaker 1: It's been a good leader for us. Wake liked him

27
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 1: in the draft, so he liked them him before he

28
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 1: was with the Giants. Obviously, Did he make any any

29
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 1: of that aware to you in terms of conviction about

30
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: Dexter back then? No, I mean we evaluate when we

31
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 1: got here, we evaluated all the players we have and

32
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: watched my tape and figured which we you know, which

33
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 1: places we could put him to, you know, shoot our

34
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: defense or shoot our offense. And um, you know he's

35
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: done a good job for us. Do you feel pressure

36
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 1: not just get ready to play game? You'll feel any

37
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 1: differently coaching in a playoff game versus a December game

38
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,359
Speaker 1: versus a September game. I've coaching all of them. I've

39
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: coached when I was two and fourteen, I've coached and

40
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 1: super Bowl is not obviously as a head coach or

41
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: National championship. I've coached we're not very good. I think

42
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 1: the the again, the hard party goes back to your

43
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 1: question is trying to keep the main thing the main thing,

44
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 1: and that's what I try to do for you coaching

45
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: that head coaching job. Does that change at all? I

46
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: know you're all about your consistency, but the losing versus

47
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: the winning And is there anything you notice and or

48
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 1: difficulties for you with that? No, I just think you're

49
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: always You're always teaching. You're teaching adversity, you're teaching, and

50
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 1: you do well to remain consistent and keep the main

51
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 1: thing the main thing. You know, it's a born answer,

52
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: but it's kind of how I was raising this business.

53
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: It's what I believe in, and I think it's important

54
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: when you're rematagering. At some point, do you look more

55
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: at what you need to fix from that game or

56
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 1: what you need to adjust? You know what I mean? Like?

57
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: Is there no? I do? I do? Probably everything? You

58
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: know you watch it. I don't know how many times

59
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: you watch it over and over again? Was that the

60
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 1: right decision where we're doing the right stuff? How was

61
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: the matchups? What do we need to change what we're good?

62
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 1: Can we discuss stuff to make it look the same.

63
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: I mean, there's a whole when you have one game

64
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 1: and you're whether it's a set. When you play a

65
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: team twice, you know, you you spend a lot of

66
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 1: time looking at that first tape. UM, and for us,

67
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: we watched all these other games not too long ago,

68
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: so I'd say it's a thorough evaluation of that tape.

69
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: How many times would you guys to actually watch that

70
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: tape of that game again with you guys against him

71
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: in the last two weeks, Ah, a lot. I couldn't

72
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 1: tell you the number. It's we're talking about more than

73
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: ten more. Yeah, yeahs. After there's always there's there's always

74
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 1: a lot. I don't want to there's a bunch of them,

75
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 1: you know, there's but there's usually when you're in close

76
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: games like that, there's four or five plays you don't

77
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: know when they're gonna happen. It could have been in

78
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, first quarter that you know, if you

79
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: make them, it gives yourself, you know, you give your

80
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 1: team a much better chance to win. UM. When those

81
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: close games are seventeen to fourteen, it's there's always one

82
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: play here there you never know when it's gonna be. UM,

83
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: there's about four, five or six of them learn that

84
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 1: from Coach Ottenheimer. Why is it? Why is it important

85
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: to you or not to play up the magnitude of

86
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 1: this game. I just think it's it's important to do

87
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:36,840
Speaker 1: the things you need to do to get ready to

88
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: play the game. Um. Again, I've been in a wide

89
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 1: variety of situations as an assistant, as a coordinator, and

90
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's right or wrong. That's just my

91
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 1: philosophy is let's focus on what we can control. Um,

92
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: And that's the most important because how we prepare ultimately,

93
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 1: how we go out there and playing coach, that's that's

94
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 1: what really makes the difference. You know what if this

95
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 1: happens none, that really matters. Since it's a divisional opponent

96
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: that you played not too long ago. Do you streaming

97
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:07,039
Speaker 1: in your playbook or do you expand it? It's pretty

98
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 1: consistent through you know, it's consistent with what we've done. Um,

99
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 1: how many plays we I guess, like how many players

100
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: around the calls to your calls, I'd say it's really consistent. Um,

101
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: it might not be the same exact calls, but you

102
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: don't add, you know, plays or take away twenty thirty

103
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,160
Speaker 1: plays it's and we always have a little you know

104
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: about a number that we think is good, and then

105
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 1: you have to make adjustments as the game goes. What

106
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 1: do you do if Captain doesn't get his voice back

107
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,039
Speaker 1: or something? He will, he will, I get me some

108
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 1: cough drops today. In what regard you've talked about it's

109
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 1: a set up question. You've talked about it, the lack

110
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,719
Speaker 1: of big runs. Take one kind of said the same

111
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: thing with the you know, you haven't been a game,

112
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: he hasn't beginning exposed to plays. What makes you think

113
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: that you guys are close to getting them, that that

114
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 1: they're coming, that they're on the verge of coming. Yeah, Well,

115
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 1: I mean you go through the week of practice and

116
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 1: you put in plays that you think are gonna work,

117
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: and then ultimately gotta go out there and execute them.

118
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: You gotta block it well, you gotta run well, you

119
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,239
Speaker 1: gotta make the right checks. Um, it's really a team

120
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: a team thing. All of us coaches, players, everybody I

121
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 1: was watching and so good and run d when they

122
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: play a lot of you know, nickel and dime and

123
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 1: too high like that's usually the stuff that you can

124
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: run against. So what makes them able to stop the

125
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 1: run well they have for first round defensive alignment. I

126
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 1: think every you know, the trenches is where it starts with.

127
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: It's the offensive line of the defensive line of teams,

128
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,239
Speaker 1: and when you're strong upfront, Um, that's a big benefit

129
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 1: to you. He's Chase Young at a level where you

130
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: have to address him personally with with any of the group. Yeah,

131
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 1: I know you have to have again how many snaps

132
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,479
Speaker 1: he plays, doesn't play, We don't know that. But he's

133
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 1: certainly a good player. Coached against him before. Um, you

134
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 1: know those edge rushers that are dominant players, you know

135
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,479
Speaker 1: you always have to have a plan for them. A

136
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:04,840
Speaker 1: couple more I ask Cathol this yesterday. Um, Washington is

137
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 1: so good at controlling possession and on offense, how much

138
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 1: do you have to try and keep the ball versus

139
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: also just moving down the field and square scoring. I'd

140
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 1: say it's the number one thing. It always is. But

141
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 1: again it's those you go back and watch the game

142
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: and you're you know, the way I watched it was

143
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 1: all the way through and you know you're watching it

144
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: and you know we did a good job in the

145
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 1: red zone and infringe and particularly the second half, but

146
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 1: you they're getting eight and a half drive and it

147
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: drives and then go to the offensive side and you

148
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 1: haven't had the ball for so long. It's critical that. Again,

149
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 1: the third downs will be critical for us. Obviously every

150
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: down is, but um, creating good situations for ourselves on

151
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 1: third down or skipping those third downs that'll go a

152
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: long way. Where are you at in practicing at this

153
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: another good day? Probably i'd chase into Leo category of

154
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 1: let's see what what happens today. I think of a

155
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 1: role do you expect Landon Collins that? But we didn't

156
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 1: make any of those decisions quite yet. Again, all those

157
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 1: practice squad players, I would say, we can bring up

158
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: Joe and I will talk about that tonight. Um, I say,

159
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 1: there's always possibility of four or five each week. We'll

00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: make that decision tonight
