1 00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:02,440 Speaker 1: Hey, coach, how's it going, Evan? 2 00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:03,880 Speaker 2: How you doing? I'm doing well. 3 00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:06,360 Speaker 3: I just wanted, you know, to ask you about Mac 4 00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:09,119 Speaker 3: And you know, it just seemed like sometimes in the 5 00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:12,320 Speaker 3: game on Sunday, he's a little bit maybe sped up, 6 00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:14,280 Speaker 3: I guess, is the way to put it, And you know, 7 00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:17,079 Speaker 3: just kind of going through the reads, you know, a 8 00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:20,240 Speaker 3: little bit faster than usual. And I was just curious, 9 00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:23,280 Speaker 3: you know how as a coach, you know, it's easy 10 00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:25,599 Speaker 3: for us to sit here and watch the film and say, 11 00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,040 Speaker 3: you know, just slow down, but like, you know, it's 12 00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:30,280 Speaker 3: obviously not that simple, Like how do you kind of 13 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:33,480 Speaker 3: go about coaching a quarterback to kind of slow back 14 00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:36,000 Speaker 3: down a little bit and just kind of run the play? 15 00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:39,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think there's some truth to that. 16 00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:42,160 Speaker 4: I think that, you know, it kind of goes under 17 00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:44,600 Speaker 4: the umbrella of what it's been for most of the 18 00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:48,479 Speaker 4: year for us is inconsistency. And you know, so it's 19 00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:50,760 Speaker 4: not just about one guy. You know, you could really 20 00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 4: say that about obviously the whole offense, and so you know, 21 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:59,080 Speaker 4: we just need to be more consistent, whether it's coaching 22 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:03,720 Speaker 4: it better or executing it better. Really, it's not just Mac, 23 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:07,920 Speaker 4: it's every position. You know, I think that you know, 24 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:11,480 Speaker 4: we're striving for that consistency. We still haven't really found it, 25 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 4: and we're still working hard to get it. There's a 26 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,280 Speaker 4: lot of football left and you know, hopefully we can 27 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:19,280 Speaker 4: find it starting this weekend. But that's really what it 28 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 4: falls under. There were times on Sunday where you know, Mac, 29 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:24,760 Speaker 4: you know, like the touchdown passed the hunter was just 30 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 4: a beautiful play, and then other times where yeah, maybe 31 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 4: he was a little bit sped up and we've got 32 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,480 Speaker 4: to do a better job of coaching it up and 33 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:35,400 Speaker 4: working with him. 34 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 2: But you know, at the end of the day, we 35 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,560 Speaker 2: all just had to strive for more consistency. 36 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,560 Speaker 1: Thank you, yep, thanks, thank question Ian Steele, followed by 37 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:46,199 Speaker 1: Chris Ryan. 38 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 2: Hey Bill. 39 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 5: In terms of third down, you guys had like third 40 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 5: and medium to third and seven eight ish and a 41 00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 5: lot of times those balls ended up going maybe fifty 42 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 5: twenty yards downfield. Is the decision making there in terms 43 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 5: of where the ball you think should go. 44 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:12,320 Speaker 2: After film review, there there were some we did. 45 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 4: We were in some manageable third downs, which is what 46 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 4: we're trying to be in. You know, the week before 47 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 4: we were in too many third and long, so you know, 48 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 4: we're trying to get in these manageable third downs, and 49 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 4: then you know, the commanders did a good job of 50 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 4: all out blitz on a couple of them, so you know, 51 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 4: sometimes that involves some downfield throws. So you know, we 52 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:37,080 Speaker 4: just we just again, we have to do you know, 53 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:38,799 Speaker 4: all of us just have to do a better job. 54 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 4: I mean, that's really what it comes down to. You know, 55 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,240 Speaker 4: when you're not it comes down to six to eight plays. 56 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 4: I say this every week, and you know, you either 57 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:47,639 Speaker 4: make those plays or you don't make those plays. You 58 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 4: either make a good decision from a coaching standpoint, or 59 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,079 Speaker 4: you don't. And we just have to continue to try 60 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 4: to make the right decisions and execute at a high 61 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 4: level on a more consistent basis than we are right now. 62 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,359 Speaker 1: Chris Ryan, followed by Doug Cutt. 63 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:07,679 Speaker 2: Hey coach that question about the run. 64 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 6: Obviously the production hasn't been what you wanted in that 65 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:15,240 Speaker 6: realm area either. Excuse me, what do you attribute that 66 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,359 Speaker 6: to and how can that improve? 67 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I think there's times that kind of 68 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 4: and I hate to repeat myself, but there's times where 69 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 4: it's looked good, you know, and then there's other times 70 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 4: where you know, you don't get the first first down, 71 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 4: so you're three and out. I think we had three 72 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 4: or four straight punts in the second half, so you know, 73 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 4: it's hard to get the running game going when you're 74 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 4: when you're threeing out, and so we we you know, 75 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 4: we had an explosive run on Sunday which was really 76 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 4: good to see, very well blocked play. But you know 77 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 4: there's other times where you know, we didn't run the 78 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 4: ball like we. 79 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 2: Need to, and we have to be able to run 80 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 2: the football. 81 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 4: We have two really good backs back there, and you 82 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 4: know we have to be able to run the football. 83 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 4: So it comes down to coaching and playing and all 84 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 4: of us just trying to, you know, really do a 85 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 4: better job. 86 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 1: Thanks Doug Kaide follower Sophie Weller Burpy. He hasn't you know, 87 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 1: had very much production. 88 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 7: What does he have to do on the practice field 89 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 7: during the week, Uh, to get more playing time and 90 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 7: get more production. 91 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 2: We're breaking up there in the beginning. 92 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 4: I didn't hear you asked about who I can't hear 93 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 4: Taikwon Thornton. Yeah, look Taekwon. You know, look, there's there's there. 94 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,599 Speaker 4: You know the fourth and three he was open, you know, 95 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 4: he ran a good route beginning of the game. You know, 96 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 4: there was a third down uh later in the game 97 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:46,840 Speaker 4: where you know he didn't win on the route. You know, 98 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 4: he he has not played a lot of football because 99 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 4: of injury, and so when you don't play a lot 100 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 4: of football, you know, it's hard and and he's got 101 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 4: to you know, continue to work and he will. 102 00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:58,280 Speaker 2: He's a great guy. 103 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,360 Speaker 4: He works very very hard, and he just hasn't had 104 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 4: a lot of opportunities. And I think I'm not making 105 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 4: an excuse for him. I'm just telling you, you know, 106 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,279 Speaker 4: he hasn't been out on the field a lot, you know, shoulder, 107 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 4: you know, whatever it is. He's he's had a couple 108 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 4: of injuries over the course of his young career, and 109 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 4: he just needs a ton of experience and that's you know, 110 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 4: that comes on the practice field and obviously in the game. 111 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,320 Speaker 4: So you know, Taekwon works very hard and I think 112 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 4: he'll you know, be able to do that. 113 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 7: Apologies for the microphone issues. I think I got those 114 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 7: fixed now. I'll blame the AirPods on that one. But 115 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 7: one other bigger picture question. It seems like there's a 116 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,719 Speaker 7: lot of optimism surrounding the offense during the summer. Just 117 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 7: curious that if you know, you have any specific reasons 118 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 7: why the offense might not have lived up to that 119 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 7: optimism so far at the halfway point of the year. 120 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:47,600 Speaker 2: I don't, you know, I don't know if you can 121 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 2: point to one thing. 122 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 4: I mean, it's it's it's you know, at the end 123 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 4: of the day, we just haven't We haven't played on 124 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 4: a consistent level at all, and you know, we have 125 00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:57,920 Speaker 4: to do a better job of trying to be more 126 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 4: consistent all the way around. We have really good group 127 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:05,039 Speaker 4: of guys. They work very hard. There's no finger pointing 128 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,919 Speaker 4: going on anything like that. We watched the tape. We 129 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 4: try to get better. They work hard to get better, 130 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 4: and the results just haven't been there. 131 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 2: So we have to continue to to There's no substitute 132 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 2: for hard work. You know. 133 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,159 Speaker 4: We can't all of a sudden just start, you know, 134 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 4: not working at all. We just got to continue to 135 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 4: work at it. And and like I said, there's a 136 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,040 Speaker 4: lot of ball left and let's see if we can 137 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:28,279 Speaker 4: get better starting this week. 138 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 1: Thank you, Hi Bell. Two final questions ago Sophie Weiller 139 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 1: fall about Yan Steel, Hi. 140 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 3: Bell, I was just curious what you noticed from Rimandre 141 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,360 Speaker 3: on that touchdown run and you know what kind of 142 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,039 Speaker 3: set up that play. 143 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:50,160 Speaker 4: Yeah, there were some good blocks on that play. We 144 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:52,039 Speaker 4: you know, he just did a really good job on 145 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 4: that play himself. But David Andrews had a great block 146 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 4: on the play, cold strange, you know, the right side, 147 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,480 Speaker 4: City and Mike, they did a really good job. Conor 148 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 4: McDermot and Cole on the left side, they both they 149 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 4: all did a really good job on that play. And 150 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 4: you know, when you give a remandra a crease like that, 151 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 4: he'll do the rest. 152 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 2: And so he did a good job. 153 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 4: And then Jalen Rager made a nice block at the 154 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 4: end of the play to to spring him the last 155 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 4: twenty yards or so for the touchdown. So it was 156 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 4: it was a you know, really a good team effort 157 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 4: relative to that run. And and and that's what I'm 158 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 4: talking about. I mean, there's there's a glimpse, but not enough, 159 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 4: and we have to we have to make those plays, 160 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 4: you know, more often, and that's what we're all trying 161 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 4: to do. 162 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 1: Last question, Ian Steele, Thanks Stacy uh Bill. 163 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 5: Watching the game back a lot of key drops in 164 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 5: big situations. 165 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 2: How frustrating was that to see? And how do you 166 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 2: coach that out of the receivers you have. 167 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean look at you know, at the end 168 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 4: of the day, you know those guys, you know they 169 00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 4: need to go out. 170 00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 2: There and and and. 171 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 4: And catch the ball. I think some of those catches 172 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 4: were very tough. You know, that's the way it is. 173 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 4: You know, you either again, like I said, it comes 174 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 4: down to those six to eight plays and those guys 175 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 4: they work very hard. Those guys they catch the ball 176 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 4: in practice, they caught the ball in the game. They 177 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 4: made some really you know, tough catches in the game. 178 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 4: You know, Jalen made a really tough behind the shoulder 179 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 4: catch that he made earlier in the game. Juju made, 180 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 4: you know, some really tough catches in the game. You know, 181 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 4: Pop made some tough catches in the game. So Hunter, Henry, 182 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 4: you know, these guys make really tough catches and they 183 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 4: just got to they'll continue to work at it, and 184 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 4: you know that's just something that you know, that's the 185 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,360 Speaker 4: way it goes sometimes. And so we we we just 186 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 4: again it comes under that consistency deal. We have to 187 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,319 Speaker 4: just really strive to be more consistent
