Defensively, 12 00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:42,120 Speaker 2: I think they do a great job in a variety 13 00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 2: of ways. But they're big and long upfront with great length. 14 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,080 Speaker 2: They've got great movement, a bunch of different things they 15 00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:50,960 Speaker 2: can throw at you. It's a good special teams group 16 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 2: coach really well, so a group that certainly we respect, 17 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,200 Speaker 2: and then we have to go play our best brand 18 00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:59,000 Speaker 2: of football to go find a way to win in 19 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:00,840 Speaker 2: front of our fans. We're excited about the opportunity to 20 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,279 Speaker 2: go play one last time down there on the lake 21 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:04,920 Speaker 2: in front of our fans. But with that, I'll take 22 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 2: any questions. 23 00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:10,200 Speaker 3: Kimra was over hurt against the Bengles. Yes, but Jamis 24 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 3: is questionable. If he's okay, will he be the number two? 25 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:15,880 Speaker 4: Yes? If he's okay, yeah, still working through that. 26 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:19,120 Speaker 5: Who will be a kicker Sunday? 27 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:19,760 Speaker 4: Dustin? 28 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,240 Speaker 3: Why I go with him after giving him, you know, 29 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 3: the week off when you had to squad. 30 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:27,840 Speaker 5: Kicker a couple of weeks ago. 31 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think regardless if we have a practice squad 32 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,760 Speaker 2: kicker on the roster or not. Really just uh, he's 33 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 2: our kicker, like I've told you guys. Uh, He's gonna 34 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:40,119 Speaker 2: continue to work through this like he does, like any 35 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,760 Speaker 2: player works through technique things. He's working very hard and 36 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 2: he kicked it really well today. I expect him to 37 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:47,520 Speaker 2: kick it really well on Sunday. 38 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 5: With the three guys who are out, we have to 39 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 5: use IR to bring anybody up. 40 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 4: Use Uh, are any of those guys that bring anybody up? 41 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 4: I don't believe so. 42 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:02,000 Speaker 6: And Dustin, it seems like like the bye week, you know, 43 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 6: with him sitting out, thought that was pretty confident that 44 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 6: he was going to give back to. 45 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 5: Form and just didn't. 46 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:11,080 Speaker 2: I think with any position, it doesn't matter if it's kicker, 47 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 2: if it's offensive line, linebacker, you're constantly working on your technique. 48 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 2: That's no different here with a veteran that's working on 49 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:23,080 Speaker 2: his craft getting that swing grooved. Obviously it didn't hit 50 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 2: the ball how he wanted to the other day, but 51 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,640 Speaker 2: he continues to work at it and we'll, like I 52 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 2: told him, we'll can support him and we'll work through 53 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 2: it together. 54 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 7: I know he doesn't have. 55 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,359 Speaker 8: A game stats, but how did Dorian come through with 56 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 8: the cap and everything, and how. 57 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 4: He looked like had has looked good? 58 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 5: Kind of we don't always see this kind of patience 59 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 5: with kickers. So where does your obviously in that great 60 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 5: your last or so that's probably part of But where. 61 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 9: Does where does that believe in Dustin come from? 62 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, demonstrated ability. He's a veteran. I've seen him do 63 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 2: it for us. I've seen him do it in his career. 64 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,639 Speaker 2: Like a lot of kickers, sometimes. 65 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 4: You have a you got. 66 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,919 Speaker 2: To go through it a little bit, but doesn't change 67 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,519 Speaker 2: how hard he's working to get through this. But yeah, 68 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 2: veteran guy who's who's seen a lot in his career. 69 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 9: Yeah, what can you guys do this week to kind 70 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 9: of make Dorian's life for a little easier so you. 71 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 5: Can get into the flow of the game a little 72 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 5: faster than he did last year. 73 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 2: I think it's it's more incumbent on the team to 74 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 2: start fast. Obviously, that helps your quarterback when you can 75 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 2: put some points on the board, you know, early in 76 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 2: a game and and not. 77 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 4: Put yourself in a hole early. 78 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 2: I think that certainly contributes to how you play as 79 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 2: an offense. 80 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 8: Kevian, he's really got the ability to pull it and 81 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 8: go on those RPOs. 82 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 5: What did you think of his decisions. 83 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 8: On that last week and what kind of a you 84 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 8: know where does that give you guys going forward? 85 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, it's a real threat when you have 86 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 2: that quarterback back there. You know, Kevin Rodgers, our coach here, 87 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 2: he always says, when the quarterback hands it off, there's 88 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 2: that's now eleven on ten. You know, if you don't 89 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 2: have a real viable guy, And with Dorian it's really 90 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 2: an eleven on eleven football. They have to account for 91 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 2: him really in all those run schemes, and that's like 92 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 2: a lot of quarterbacks in this league. I think you're 93 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 2: seeing guys that are very viable threats in the run game, 94 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 2: and it certainly contributes to run game success. 95 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 9: Ken, I know you're on this year and Joel said 96 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,159 Speaker 9: he's not thinking about next year, but regard us what happens, Like, 97 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 9: what has he just meant to this building to you 98 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:20,720 Speaker 9: these last five years? 99 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, obviously I wasn't here for the beginning 100 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 2: part of his career, but just seeing him these last 101 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,280 Speaker 2: five seasons, first of all, just talk about I'll talk 102 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 2: about the person first. Just an amazing person, the guy 103 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,479 Speaker 2: I rely on a ton when talking about things that 104 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 2: have to do with this football team, and just the 105 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 2: way he leads. I'm always leaning on him. The player, 106 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,039 Speaker 2: you know, looks like a Hall of Fame career to me. 107 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,279 Speaker 2: You know, I don't think he's I'm hoping he's not. 108 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 2: This is not his last few games. I think he's 109 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 2: got a lot left in the tank. And I say 110 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 2: that just that this is a really, really good football player, 111 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 2: and I've seen some really good ones that he's he's 112 00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:57,920 Speaker 2: right up there. 113 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 9: Is he likes Steve Hutchinson or when they different. 114 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 4: You know, the different players. 115 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 2: Steve was much more of the gap scheme, downhill Maller 116 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 2: quote unquote, and I think Joel's just so athletic the 117 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,039 Speaker 2: things that he's been able to do over the course 118 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:13,840 Speaker 2: of his career. Never gets in a bad spot. He's 119 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:18,600 Speaker 2: always moving his guy and has recoverability to get to 120 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 2: the second level. 121 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:21,840 Speaker 4: But he's an incredible athlete. 122 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 10: Kevin two is one of the better quarterbacks that have 123 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 10: been one of the better quarterbacks in. 124 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 5: The league against pressure. You know what what what do 125 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 5: you see when you watch him? 126 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 10: With him in terms of that that helps him, you know, 127 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,160 Speaker 10: kind of handle the pressure. 128 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 2: You know, I'd say the ball comes out so fast. 129 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 2: I think that's what helps the pressure. It's hard to uh, 130 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 2: you know, you can blitz him and sometimes you get there. 131 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,360 Speaker 2: Sometimes that ball is you know, whistling out of there 132 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,799 Speaker 2: because that's just how fast they play, and he makes 133 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,280 Speaker 2: really really quick decisions and he has a very very 134 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 2: quick release. 135 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 9: How much pressure is that put on your secondary when 136 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,360 Speaker 9: he's getting it out so fast and there isn't a 137 00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 9: lot of time to send that pressure? 138 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think they certainly this scheme puts pressure on 139 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 2: every part of your defense. It's not just the secondary. 140 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:09,159 Speaker 2: I think everybody contributes to trying to slow this group down. 141 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:10,720 Speaker 2: I think they do a great job getting the ball 142 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 2: in the perimeter in a variety of ways, run game, screen, game, 143 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:16,480 Speaker 2: you name it. Then they do a really good job 144 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 2: work in the middle field as well. 145 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 5: Where was said that in the protocol and does it 146 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 5: at this point? Since he's out this game makes sense 147 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 5: just to shut. 148 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 4: Them down for the rest of the I'm not going there. 149 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 2: I'm really just focused on where he is right now, 150 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 2: and he's continuing to progress. 151 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:32,360 Speaker 7: How do you coach up Dorian to still be aggressive 152 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,240 Speaker 7: and use all of his skills but also try to 153 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 7: stay interception. 154 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 11: For you this game? 155 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 2: Sure, I mean I think it goes back to Mary 156 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 2: Kay being smart and aggressive. You don't want to just 157 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 2: be conservative for the sake of being conservative, But you 158 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 2: have to understand how important the ball is in these games, 159 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,599 Speaker 2: how important possession is in these games. So still continue 160 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 2: to play his style, make sure he's doing everything in 161 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 2: his power to move the football for our football team 162 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,919 Speaker 2: and score points, but at the same time not letting 163 00:06:58,920 --> 00:06:59,720 Speaker 2: them get their hands on it. 164 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 7: Have to even said, who do you need to step 165 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 7: up for Dorian in this game? 166 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 2: I think it's always a group effort in that regard. 167 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 2: Mary Kay, I think we really trust our group. We 168 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 2: trust the receivers, we trust the tight ends that we 169 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 2: have up. Uh, we got a good group of running 170 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:18,239 Speaker 2: backs up. So the quarterback has to you know, deliver 171 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 2: the ball based on what the coverage is dictating, and 172 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 2: we trust the guys that that the ball's going to Kevin. 173 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 10: And I saw that Mike said that Anthony Walker's not 174 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 10: gonna play Sunday for you. See that for you just 175 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 10: obviously no way Anthony from this time of year. Disappointing 176 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 10: not to get the you know. 177 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 4: He injured. Okay, I didn't know that, got it. 178 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 5: I just said that he was. 179 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 2: He's Okay, you know, a guy I think very highly of. 180 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 2: I'm regretting letting him sit in all those quarterback meetings 181 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,480 Speaker 2: over the years. Uh He's he's popped in there and 182 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 2: sat in there for many many meetings, and I'm regretting 183 00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 2: that fact. But he's a he's one of my favorites, 184 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 2: just a quintessential pro. He's he's he's the guy in 185 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 2: the middle of the defense. He's the guy, you know, 186 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 2: in the middle of the locker room, just at the 187 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 2: center of everything. I think he's he's made plays when 188 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 2: he's out there on the football field, but just the 189 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 2: impact that he has in the building has been pretty incredible. 190 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 9: When guys are like that, Kevin, I mean, I don't 191 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 9: think he's the son of a coach. Are they generally 192 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 9: always that way? 193 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 10: Or do you guys kind. 194 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 9: Of as they get into pro routine and do they 195 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 9: kind of grow into that. 196 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 2: I think the son of a coach certainly has a 197 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 2: lot to do with it, and and Anthony has talked 198 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 2: a lot about that. But he's he's a gym rat. 199 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 2: He just he loves the game. And again, just his 200 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 2: thirst for knowledge. You can ask the quarterbacks. He would 201 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,079 Speaker 2: pop in there and sit in there and just listen, 202 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 2: not not really ask questions, but just hear what was 203 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 2: being talked about, and just he's he's a cerebral player. 204 00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 2: You know, you so often hear quarterbacks being talked about 205 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,600 Speaker 2: being when you're the middle linebacker and you're in the 206 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 2: nerve center, you have to be a cerebral and he 207 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:05,079 Speaker 2: certainly is. 208 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 1: Wide Receiver coach and passing game coordinator Chad Owshay talked 209 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:12,560 Speaker 1: about the emergence of Jerry Judy, emergence. 210 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:16,440 Speaker 7: Of Jerry and just eclipsing a thousand yards and putting 211 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 7: together in the nice season that he has. 212 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,960 Speaker 11: Yeah, Jerry's had an excellent year. I'm not surprised by 213 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,160 Speaker 11: that and his production on the field. You know, I've 214 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 11: seen these things in the off season, the way he 215 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:31,319 Speaker 11: was in the off season, the way he approached every day. 216 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 11: You know, he's he's got great intelligence as a player. 217 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:38,720 Speaker 11: He's very instinctive. He works hard, and you know, I 218 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 11: think he's put the team first and everything he's done. 219 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 11: I'm very happy for Jerry's success, and I really believe 220 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 11: it didn't happen by accident. I think it happened through 221 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 11: hard work and it's who Jerry is and I'm grateful 222 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:53,200 Speaker 11: that he's on our football team. 223 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 8: Out of these last few weeks, I mean to know, 224 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 8: you don't want to talk specifics about injuries, but I 225 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 8: guess just how important would have to get him back 226 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:03,679 Speaker 8: and get a couple more looks at him, because it 227 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 8: seemed like he was ascending before the concussion year. 228 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 11: Yes, Cedric, prior to the concussion was doing some great 229 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 11: things for our offense. 230 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:12,320 Speaker 5: He was really improving. 231 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 11: You know, again, another player that I thought that this 232 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 11: is this is how it would go, just because of 233 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 11: the things that I have seen, you know, in the 234 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,319 Speaker 11: meeting room and on the practice field, and he's certainly 235 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:25,000 Speaker 11: made the most of his opportunities. 236 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 5: You know. 237 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:27,920 Speaker 11: Unfortunately, right now he's in a situation where he's not 238 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 11: out there with us. You know, I think the NFL 239 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,079 Speaker 11: and our medical staff does an excellent job in regards 240 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:37,440 Speaker 11: to the concussion protocol and making sure that players are 241 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 11: exactly you know, healthy and in the best condition they 242 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,320 Speaker 11: can when they come back. So, you know, respect the 243 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,480 Speaker 11: process there. But Cedric prior to the concussion has really 244 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,320 Speaker 11: done a great job for us, and I'm very excited 245 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 11: about his future. 246 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 3: He's talked about seeing more double teams since he's been 247 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,680 Speaker 3: on this really good streak. So how do you deal 248 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 3: with that with him? What are the coach points there 249 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:04,160 Speaker 3: to whatever? I guess, beat the doubles and stay positive. 250 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 11: Yeah, with Jerry's success that he had over that, you know, 251 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 11: several weeks, you know, we saw defenses obviously trying to 252 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 11: take him away, and you know, obviously it's our job 253 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,200 Speaker 11: as coaches to try to look at those things of 254 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,720 Speaker 11: how they're going to play us schematically in regards to 255 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 11: coverage specifically, and try to put him in position you know, 256 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 11: we've asked Jerry to try not to do too much, 257 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 11: you know, and I think that's one of the biggest 258 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:33,720 Speaker 11: mistakes that receivers who are given attention, let's call it 259 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 11: double teams and maybe additional coverage or help that they're 260 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 11: providing defensively, is to try to do too much as 261 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,320 Speaker 11: a player and then just not do your job. So 262 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:45,960 Speaker 11: I think that a lot goes into that, from game 263 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:50,640 Speaker 11: planning to you know, who we're playing, and I think 264 00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:52,679 Speaker 11: the biggest thing is just for Jerry to go out 265 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,480 Speaker 11: there and continue just to do the things we're asking 266 00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,560 Speaker 11: him and and not to just overthink some of that. 267 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,480 Speaker 5: Yesterday, he was still getting open despite some of that extra. 268 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 11: Attention against ININCINNEDI Yeah, there were times that you know, 269 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:09,240 Speaker 11: there was attention devoted to him, maybe an additional player, 270 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 11: that he was able still to be open. So you know, 271 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:15,920 Speaker 11: it's again I thought Jerry is does a great job 272 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:19,080 Speaker 11: of studying. He spends a lot of time outside the 273 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 11: meeting room watching film, so he's he uses that to 274 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,320 Speaker 11: his advantage, you know, and I think he's a really smart, 275 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:31,199 Speaker 11: instinctive football player. He understands what the defense is trying 276 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 11: to do to him, and I think that if anybody 277 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:35,840 Speaker 11: can get open versus a couple of guys, you know, 278 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 11: Jerry can. 279 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 4: Obviously you knew what you were. 280 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 9: Getting in Jerry, But has anything surprised you in the 281 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 9: year or so, You're not quite a year, but the 282 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 9: time you spent with him here. 283 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:49,440 Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean we were really excited once when we 284 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:54,600 Speaker 11: acquired Jerry, but to see what he's accomplished, you know, 285 00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:56,439 Speaker 11: and this is you know, been his best year and 286 00:12:56,600 --> 00:13:00,840 Speaker 11: very proud of that. Again, I didn't happen by I 287 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 11: saw this kind of coming, just the way he was 288 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 11: working in the building. He does an excellent job. He's 289 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 11: a great communicator, he communicates well with the coaching staff, 290 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 11: with his teammates. Again, a very smart player who takes 291 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:17,480 Speaker 11: advantage of his opportunities. 292 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,160 Speaker 4: So, you know, to say that, you. 293 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 11: Know, I saw this coming, I really did see. My 294 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,680 Speaker 11: expectation for him was very high, and it continued to 295 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 11: be very high because I think a lot of them 296 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 11: as a player. 297 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 7: As a stat that I'm sure he wished you didn't have. 298 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 7: Last time I checked, I think it might have been 299 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 7: last week that he was first in terms of passes 300 00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 7: intended for him that were intercepted. So is that somewhat 301 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 7: a function of maybe said not being in the game, 302 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 7: David not being in the game, and maybe he's getting 303 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,199 Speaker 7: some balls that should go to like a taller receiver. 304 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 12: Or how's that breaking out? 305 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 11: Ye specifically talking about some of the turnovers that we've 306 00:13:56,800 --> 00:14:00,160 Speaker 11: had on the targets that Elijah has been I think 307 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:03,160 Speaker 11: that ball security, I think that a lot of people 308 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 11: sharing that responsibility, to include us as coaches, myself, whether 309 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:12,240 Speaker 11: it's a certain technique that we're coaching on that particular play, 310 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,720 Speaker 11: but I think that we are we are all responsible 311 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:16,839 Speaker 11: for it, you know, and then a lot goes into 312 00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 11: protecting the ball. It's definitely an emphasis point that we've 313 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 11: tried to make here in the last couple of weeks 314 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,760 Speaker 11: because some of the turnovers that we had, you know, 315 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 11: but Elijah has really done a good job of trying 316 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 11: to be very detailed in his route running. We place 317 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:33,680 Speaker 11: him at different positions across the formation, and a lot 318 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 11: of times he's right in the middle of it. You know, 319 00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 11: he's he's the target, and you know, it's not it 320 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:41,280 Speaker 11: doesn't fall all in Elijah that we've had, you know, 321 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,400 Speaker 11: lack of success on some of these balls that have 322 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:47,200 Speaker 11: been targeted to him. He certainly has produced on some 323 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:50,520 Speaker 11: others as well. So I don't, you know, I don't 324 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,920 Speaker 11: think it's just one person. I really don't. I think that, 325 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:59,240 Speaker 11: you know, having Cedric in there, it's not like that's 326 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 11: you know, really affecting that that much. I just feel like, 327 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,840 Speaker 11: you know, Elijah's continued to be a detailed player for us. 328 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:11,280 Speaker 11: We all share in the responsibility of ball security, and 329 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 11: we'll continue to do that. 330 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:19,400 Speaker 3: We're unit could grow with story. 331 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 11: And it's a great question because you know, when you 332 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 11: have a change of quarterback, there's always some learning that 333 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 11: goes on. 334 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:30,880 Speaker 4: They've worked really hard. We're gonna go out there today 335 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 4: and we're going. 336 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,640 Speaker 11: To throw routes on air, and we're gonna work hard 337 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:35,960 Speaker 11: just fundamentally at being on the same page with them. 338 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 11: But it takes time, it really does, to just to 339 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 11: get on the same page with the quarterbacks. He's done 340 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 11: a great job with us and and his communication. Hey, 341 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:47,880 Speaker 11: here's what I need out of you guys, and we 342 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:49,800 Speaker 11: certainly are going to try to be there for him. 343 00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,560 Speaker 11: And I always tell the receivers with a new quarterback, 344 00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:54,600 Speaker 11: the most important thing is let's just fall back on 345 00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 11: doing our job, our assignment exactly the way we're asked 346 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 11: to do the coaches when we put it in the 347 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:02,880 Speaker 11: meeting room. Let's go out to the field and let's 348 00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,120 Speaker 11: be there for the quarterback by just doing our job 349 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,880 Speaker 11: exactly right. So we're going to continue to try to 350 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 11: support him and and and allow him to be the 351 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,800 Speaker 11: best version of our himself. But for him to do that, 352 00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:15,800 Speaker 11: we just need to do our job really well. 353 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:19,120 Speaker 5: I asked Jerry. 354 00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:23,640 Speaker 7: About this the other day, that Dorian's passes some kind 355 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,560 Speaker 7: sometimes come in with a little extra heat on them, 356 00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:29,080 Speaker 7: and he admitted they do come in a little hot, 357 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:32,080 Speaker 7: but still catchable. I'm just wondering, is that something that 358 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,840 Speaker 7: your guys have to adjust to or am I not 359 00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:37,880 Speaker 7: even seeing that correctly or what's the Yeah. 360 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 11: You know, I think that every quarterback has a different, 361 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:42,680 Speaker 11: you know, way in which they throw, a different spin 362 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,680 Speaker 11: to the ball, a different velocity. And what I tell 363 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,240 Speaker 11: those guys our group from day one receivers is I 364 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:50,680 Speaker 11: don't care who's out there throwing it. It's our job to, 365 00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,360 Speaker 11: you know, to adjust to that ball, maybe if it's 366 00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 11: a different type of football throwing, but it's our job 367 00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 11: to get open and catch the ball, and that's what 368 00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 11: we're asking hard guys to do. I don't look that 369 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:04,560 Speaker 11: much into that. I know, certainly the guys catching it 370 00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:07,520 Speaker 11: probably can tell you more about the different throws in 371 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:10,680 Speaker 11: those things. But you know, my as a coach, when 372 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 11: I'm evaluating on is the ball on the ground or not? 373 00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:15,119 Speaker 11: Do you catch it or not? So that'll continue to 374 00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:17,080 Speaker 11: be the focus for me on that. 375 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,240 Speaker 3: I about the adjustment to a new quarterback, is there 376 00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:23,960 Speaker 3: another element to that when it's a different style quarterback 377 00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:27,000 Speaker 3: where Jamis was more in the pocket where Dorian is 378 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:28,400 Speaker 3: you know, outside scramble. 379 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:30,040 Speaker 11: And I can think, yeah, I do think that. You know, 380 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:33,600 Speaker 11: with you can take any player across the roster and say, hey, 381 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,160 Speaker 11: everybody's different to each other. You know, everybody's got different 382 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:38,560 Speaker 11: skill sets. So certainly true of the quarterback position too, 383 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:40,560 Speaker 11: and just the different styles that they may bring to 384 00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:44,440 Speaker 11: the table. But there's so many things, like looking at 385 00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,919 Speaker 11: Dorian that he does well from an extended play, like 386 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,320 Speaker 11: we're emphasizing right now, let's do a great job in 387 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,480 Speaker 11: the extended plays, the off schedule plays where you know 388 00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,120 Speaker 11: Dorian can do a good job of escape and get 389 00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:59,159 Speaker 11: out of the pocket and must be productive. And I 390 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,320 Speaker 11: look back at when Jamis was in there, he did 391 00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:03,960 Speaker 11: a great job on in that area too, So there 392 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,800 Speaker 11: are some similarities that we're trying to benefit from as well. 393 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,679 Speaker 11: You know, Jamis was a player that could extend the 394 00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:11,639 Speaker 11: play in different ways. It might be not all the 395 00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:14,199 Speaker 11: way to the sidelines, but he could step up and 396 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:17,679 Speaker 11: have great vision down the field and find us and 397 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:21,040 Speaker 11: throw us open. So, you know, as different as there 398 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,680 Speaker 11: may be some things, I think there's some similarities too 399 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,000 Speaker 11: that we're really benefiting from. And that would be one 400 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:29,000 Speaker 11: area that I think that both these quarterbacks have done 401 00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,560 Speaker 11: a great job of has given us opportunities down the 402 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:33,680 Speaker 11: field when the play maybe gets off schedule. 403 00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:36,480 Speaker 1: Linebackers coach Jason Tarvar spoke on the play of his 404 00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:38,200 Speaker 1: veterans like Jordan Hicks. 405 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,679 Speaker 7: Well, I know you can't give us really necessarily a 406 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:43,600 Speaker 7: health update on j Okay. 407 00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:45,320 Speaker 12: No, that's really not your place, but. 408 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,160 Speaker 7: Can you give us any idea at all? I mean, 409 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:51,800 Speaker 7: are you in contact with them? Is he in good 410 00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:53,800 Speaker 7: spirits or is there anything that you can share. 411 00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,240 Speaker 13: Yeah, we text all the time and talk as much 412 00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:59,359 Speaker 13: as we can. He and the guy in linebackers have 413 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:03,080 Speaker 13: their little texts going too, so he's involved. He you know, 414 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:05,600 Speaker 13: when we when it gets closer to game time, as 415 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:09,359 Speaker 13: any of us would be, he gets excited and you know, 416 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,200 Speaker 13: he stays into our linebacker things where I send out 417 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 13: the pieces of the game plan and comments and he's 418 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:18,200 Speaker 13: even offered some coaching points to some of our other 419 00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:22,919 Speaker 13: younger linebackers, which is outstanding, just which is good and 420 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:27,119 Speaker 13: says what he sees. So you know, we're all just 421 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,960 Speaker 13: rooting for him to be able to figure out everything 422 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,480 Speaker 13: that it needs to be figured out with like you said, 423 00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:36,440 Speaker 13: with the UH, with his travel schedule to see different 424 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:38,960 Speaker 13: doctors and things, just making sure he's good but good 425 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,440 Speaker 13: spirits not hurting all that's good. 426 00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 5: Him. 427 00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,600 Speaker 8: Now, it just seems like Jordan at least has been 428 00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 8: healthy down this stretch of the season and he's been 429 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:49,200 Speaker 8: playing really well. 430 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,280 Speaker 5: Just how impressed have you been with him? 431 00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:53,080 Speaker 8: And I mean, he just seems like his effort is 432 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:55,119 Speaker 8: one hundred type of signs all the time. 433 00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:58,680 Speaker 13: Well, I tease, but I'm not really teasing the linebackers 434 00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:00,720 Speaker 13: when I say, I'm the hardest greater of the coaches, 435 00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:03,960 Speaker 13: and Jordan's grades have been some of the highest that 436 00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:09,159 Speaker 13: I've given in not only will we grate him in 437 00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,080 Speaker 13: certain ways like just did you do right on the play? 438 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:16,159 Speaker 13: And his are really high there, but also factor grades 439 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,280 Speaker 13: meaning if the play comes to you, do you make it? 440 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:22,639 Speaker 13: His factor grades have been really, really high. So just 441 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:24,720 Speaker 13: proud of him for doing that. He's doing a great 442 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:26,879 Speaker 13: job of working with who's ever in there with him, 443 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:30,960 Speaker 13: which is one of our challenges right now to both 444 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:33,760 Speaker 13: Our challenge as a linebacker group is it doesn't matter 445 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:34,840 Speaker 13: who's playing around you. 446 00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:35,919 Speaker 4: You're one of eleven. 447 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,040 Speaker 13: Do your job, and our job is to be the 448 00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,720 Speaker 13: nerve center, like Coach Horse says, and Jordan's doing a 449 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:44,680 Speaker 13: great job of that. Help him with when my mood's 450 00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,000 Speaker 13: in there with him or Devin or Winston or whoever's 451 00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:50,119 Speaker 13: in He's done a great job of tying everything together. 452 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 13: And he's impressive in that. I know I'm going along 453 00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:57,359 Speaker 13: because I'm excited for Jordan, but to get his body 454 00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:58,760 Speaker 13: back to be able to do what he's doing at 455 00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:02,440 Speaker 13: this level is amazing, and he works and he's everything 456 00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:06,439 Speaker 13: is just a great process to make the play and 457 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:07,560 Speaker 13: then go on to the next play. 458 00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,680 Speaker 3: Like everybody that fills in for you. But how much 459 00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:16,679 Speaker 3: do you think you've missed jay Ocaine, just everything that 460 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:19,440 Speaker 3: he can do schematically and all that kind of thing. 461 00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:21,479 Speaker 5: You know, for the last whatever two months. 462 00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:25,320 Speaker 13: Well, I think where Jeremiah went, and we spoke about 463 00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:30,119 Speaker 13: this a little bit, is he really went to making 464 00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:36,240 Speaker 13: himself the every down linebacker, having the headset, making the calls, 465 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:40,640 Speaker 13: to saying, hey, whoever Miles move over or whatever it is. 466 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:42,640 Speaker 12: He went to that point. 467 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:47,800 Speaker 13: And when when players get to that point, it's very 468 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,359 Speaker 13: exciting for a coach because there wasn't anything that he 469 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,280 Speaker 13: can't do, and there wasn't anything he can't do athletically, 470 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:57,680 Speaker 13: of course, but he had taken himself. His preparation and 471 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:02,080 Speaker 13: his performance is is just going like this. So anytime 472 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,320 Speaker 13: any player gets to that level, you're gonna miss that 473 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:07,320 Speaker 13: because he. 474 00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:10,200 Speaker 12: Was playing at that high level, especially those lives. He's 475 00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:10,879 Speaker 12: just going like this. 476 00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:13,919 Speaker 13: It was just it's just the progression, like all the 477 00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:16,760 Speaker 13: things we talked about with you know, the two things 478 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,520 Speaker 13: that I said every time I came up here, his 479 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:21,719 Speaker 13: body and then going playing and playing out to make 480 00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:23,640 Speaker 13: the next play the best way. He's doing that. So yeah, 481 00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:27,560 Speaker 13: you're you're gonna miss that. But you know, you also 482 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 13: know in this business. We need everybody and our guys 483 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:34,240 Speaker 13: in that room. We've taken us as a challenge and 484 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:35,159 Speaker 13: we've stepped up. 485 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:41,879 Speaker 3: My mood jumps off side last week at the one 486 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:47,040 Speaker 3: yard line, Kevin said, it was so uncharacteristic for him. 487 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,719 Speaker 5: Like how do you deal with afterwards. 488 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:50,800 Speaker 3: Like with the conversations like with him, and you know 489 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:52,920 Speaker 3: should even obviously should have known better because they're trying 490 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 3: to get him draw off Like. 491 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:54,479 Speaker 4: What you telling them? 492 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,720 Speaker 13: Well, yeah, and anytime you flinch on defense, they're gonna 493 00:22:57,720 --> 00:22:59,639 Speaker 13: call you. They're gonna stand up and touch you. So 494 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:03,520 Speaker 13: that's the thing is like you know, he was conscious 495 00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:06,120 Speaker 13: of the situation and everything like that, but you can't 496 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:09,440 Speaker 13: get that cute near the line of scrimmage. So with 497 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:13,080 Speaker 13: any young player and mood, I'm proud of where he's going. 498 00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 13: He's doing a great job.

That's the best part. One of 507 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 13: the best things about my mood is once he experiences that, 508 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,439 Speaker 13: he goes, Okay, I got this, I'm walking in and 509 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:45,520 Speaker 13: he really is a one time correction linebacker player, and 510 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:47,280 Speaker 13: we're proud of him for that, and we'll keep him going. 511 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:50,760 Speaker 12: But that's all you do because if. 512 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:51,880 Speaker 13: I'm preaching you got to go to the next play 513 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:54,240 Speaker 13: as fast as possible.

He has hadn't been 533 00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:40,399 Speaker 13: in this type of a system before, and he's just 534 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:41,560 Speaker 13: gotten better and better at it. 535 00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:42,320 Speaker 4: And you can see him. 536 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:47,720 Speaker 13: He's tackling really well, he's edges, getting off of blocks, 537 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:51,320 Speaker 13: he's playing, he's doing what my hand Jesure was for Jeremiah. 538 00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:54,200 Speaker 13: He's getting better every week, and so we are.

Oh yeah, coach told me 543 00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:09,240 Speaker 13: to be wider all the time. This happens and then 544 00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:10,880 Speaker 13: he does it, and then he makes plays doing it. 545 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:14,720 Speaker 13: But his tackling in the hole and chasing whoever has 546 00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,320 Speaker 13: the ball has really helped us, and we need him 547 00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:19,280 Speaker 13: to continue to do that against this team because they 548 00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:19,959 Speaker 13: have some speed. 549 00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:23,680 Speaker 5: Speed. Jim was talking about it yesterday. 550 00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,879 Speaker 3: How does that make life really difficult for your guys 551 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:28,639 Speaker 3: from a chain to the rest. 552 00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:28,920 Speaker 5: Of the guys. 553 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:32,760 Speaker 13: Well, yeah, not only the speed, how this system uses 554 00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:36,840 Speaker 13: their players. I have experience coaching with coach Mike and 555 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:40,000 Speaker 13: Kyle at the forty nine ers and how they they 556 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:43,840 Speaker 13: do a great job of blurring positions and moving people 557 00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:46,199 Speaker 13: to get angles on you, so that not only the 558 00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:48,399 Speaker 13: speed of the players when they have the ball, but 559 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:51,200 Speaker 13: the speed of the motions, the speed of their formations. 560 00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:54,560 Speaker 13: We have to be able to move and leverage things 561 00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:58,760 Speaker 13: quickly and effectively, whether we're bumping things or locking things 562 00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:02,600 Speaker 13: or whatever. Doing that's the They do a great job 563 00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:04,399 Speaker 13: of that, and that's where we're gonna have to function 564 00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:07,440 Speaker 13: and it will come right back to that next place. 565 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:09,080 Speaker 12: The best play we gotta We'll have to have our 566 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:09,480 Speaker 12: mind right. 567 00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:12,240 Speaker 13: But they do a nice job of using that speed 568 00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:14,320 Speaker 13: in that all right, there's a quick throw over here 569 00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:16,480 Speaker 13: to one of their fast guys. If he doesn't have it, 570 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,120 Speaker 13: they spread you to the other side and you'll see 571 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:21,320 Speaker 13: a lot of times where the quarterback will look, look, 572 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:21,879 Speaker 13: and then. 573 00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:25,280 Speaker 12: Just throw it wide. So they're like people call them checkdowns. 574 00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:26,000 Speaker 12: A lot of times. 575 00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:29,040 Speaker 13: It's like touchdown checkdown in the West Coast offense where 576 00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:30,800 Speaker 13: the vertical and then the checkdown's right in front of 577 00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:33,600 Speaker 13: the quarterback. They do a good job of spreading the 578 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:38,720 Speaker 13: field for their checkdowns, so specifically scheme wise, that can 579 00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 13: not only can the quarterback see it, but that can 580 00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:43,760 Speaker 13: get their speed guys in space, so their their systems 581 00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:46,760 Speaker 13: a little different and how they distribute their speed. 582 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 5: He is as as we're receiving that. 583 00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:55,880 Speaker 12: Yeah, he's really good. They've done a nice job. 584 00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:58,800 Speaker 13: If you look just I was talking a little bit 585 00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:02,920 Speaker 13: about blurring the position. They're all kind of built the same, 586 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:06,040 Speaker 13: and they're fast, and then they can all run all 587 00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:09,520 Speaker 13: the routes. It's similar to what uh, you know we 588 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:12,359 Speaker 13: faced last year with forty nine ers or or who 589 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,040 Speaker 13: in that they blur everybody can run all the routes, 590 00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:17,560 Speaker 13: and so with him, he's got good hands and he's fast, 591 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,240 Speaker 13: so they blur the line of that. So again where 592 00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:22,160 Speaker 13: they put him in the formations and how quickly they're 593 00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:22,560 Speaker 13: moving things. 594 00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:24,240 Speaker 12: We've got to have the correct leverage to send it 595 00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:24,720 Speaker 12: to our help. 596 00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:28,080 Speaker 1: Finally, reigning Defensive Player of the Year Miles Garrett took 597 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:30,600 Speaker 1: questions on some personal milestones he is approaching. 598 00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:39,520 Speaker 5: Giving it a couple of weeks now seeing what he. 599 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:50,520 Speaker 7: Questions. 600 00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:54,200 Speaker 6: Damn good, so on the best at this generation he's 601 00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:58,000 Speaker 6: been U's been as healthy as you know any of 602 00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:01,320 Speaker 6: the elite and top guys and play perform an elite level. 603 00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:03,119 Speaker 6: You know for all the years that I've been here 604 00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:04,840 Speaker 6: in Cident, so I have massive amount of respect.
