Uh, what have you 33 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 4: seen from him as a pass rusher this year in 34 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:21,560 Speaker 4: terms of his development? 35 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:22,560 Speaker 2: Yeah? 36 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 3: Technically, sure, No, I think he's he's done a good 37 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,920 Speaker 3: job really in every area of his game of taking 38 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 3: you know, improvements from the first year to the next. 39 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,600 Speaker 3: He's really works hard at his craft. He meets a 40 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:38,080 Speaker 3: lot with the coaches, you know, last week going in 41 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 3: there and he's kind of running a meeting with a 42 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,200 Speaker 3: bunch of the defensive guys too, so that's a good 43 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,479 Speaker 3: thing to see. And they're going through pass rush games 44 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:45,279 Speaker 3: and different guys. 45 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 2: So he's done. He's done a nice job for since 46 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:48,080 Speaker 2: he's been here. 47 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:50,919 Speaker 5: How much different is it for you when you're coaching 48 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 5: a rookie quarterback. You don't have maybe a reservoir you 49 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 5: can refer to stuff that you know that they know. 50 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 2: Sure, well, you do. 51 00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 3: You do the same type of things in terms of installation, 52 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 3: And again, I think kaf Can Shay have done a 53 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 3: really good job with him. 54 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 2: But every day he is a learning experience. 55 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,960 Speaker 3: So even you know yesterday, every rep he has is 56 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 3: something you give him a different look and maybe it's 57 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:13,359 Speaker 3: the first time he's seen it in a long time. 58 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 3: But he's conscientious. He's doing everything we've asked him to do. 59 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 3: But again, the experience factor that. 60 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 5: Is real and one the other side of wider rookie 61 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 5: quarterbacks struggle so much against Belichick's defenses through years. 62 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 3: Well, he's really good at what he does, and the 63 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 3: players are good. 64 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 2: They run a good scheme, give you a variety of looks. 65 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 3: He's been doing it for a long time since the 66 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 3: year I was born, nineteen seventy five. 67 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 2: With the Lions, I believe coach well, he's the most 68 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 2: ton end team. 69 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,519 Speaker 1: But of the defense of Betty Chic put in this game. 70 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:49,680 Speaker 3: Well, they have good players, and they play good team 71 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 3: defense and good coaches. They do a good job of 72 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 3: taking away big plays, stopping the run, playing good in 73 00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 3: the red zone, play good team defense, have a variety 74 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 3: of looks, game plan team. So what you see on 75 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 3: tape for one game might not be the next. What 76 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,240 Speaker 3: do you get the next game, So it's always a challenge. 77 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 5: How do you feel the avoid obviously he's been such 78 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 5: a good player. 79 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, we'll see where he's at. 80 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 3: But we have you know, that's why we have the 81 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 3: guys we have here that we signed, whether it's a 82 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,799 Speaker 3: Shawan Nacho, but just give it a few more days here. 83 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 5: If he doesn't play those sort of like a group 84 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 5: thing like he's you need order to replace that production 85 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 5: multiple guys. 86 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, that's just that's the National Football League. 87 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 3: So you know, when Andrew Thomas is out, we have 88 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 3: to have another guy ready to go, or the quarterback, 89 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 3: or Saquon's out or Dexter's out. That's why you have 90 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 3: guys that are are backing them up. They're they're very 91 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 3: good players. Dexter is an elite player in this league. 92 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 3: And the guys we got behind him or that's why 93 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 3: we got them back there, they're true pros. They've they've 94 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 3: done a good job for us. And but we'll see 95 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 3: where we're at here with decks here, he's got a 96 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 3: couple more days a few times. 97 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 5: Their game plan team every teams going game plan like that. 98 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 5: Are there are teams that are much more like we 99 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 5: kind of play our strength and you have to react 100 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 5: on how does that work. 101 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'd say there's some teams that kind of do 102 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 3: what they do. You know where they're going to be, 103 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 3: but they play it at a high, high level. Maybe 104 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 3: they only give a few different coverages, a few different fronts. 105 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 2: And then there's other. 106 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 3: Teams that you know, when you're looking at breakdowns and 107 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 3: people that break down the tape, there's you know, every 108 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 3: front imaginable or every coverage imaginable, so you know, you 109 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,160 Speaker 3: watch every game they play up until now it can 110 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:25,920 Speaker 3: there's a lot of information, so you have to be 111 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,360 Speaker 3: able to boil it down and you know, once you 112 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,599 Speaker 3: get into the game, call it the first quarter, you 113 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,159 Speaker 3: know you kind of see how they're playing you. But 114 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 3: then they always leave a wrinkle for the second half too. 115 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:40,600 Speaker 3: That's completely different. So just a different challenge. But again, 116 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 3: there are teams that kind of do what they do, 117 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 3: and then there's other teams that give you a variety 118 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 3: of looks. 119 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,920 Speaker 1: When last season ended, a seam that Isaiah Hodgens had 120 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 1: developed into one of your top receivers. Has he been 121 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,040 Speaker 1: lost a little this year with all the other receivers 122 00:04:58,080 --> 00:04:58,720 Speaker 1: you have this year? 123 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 3: I think look he's doing everything you can do each 124 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 3: week through pro and see how it goes this week. 125 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:08,280 Speaker 4: Bill said this morning, still telling all his quarterbacks to 126 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,360 Speaker 4: be ready to go. Do you have not that you're 127 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:11,839 Speaker 4: gonna tell us who it is? But do you have 128 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 4: an inkling who you think they're gonna play? Or are 129 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 4: you still preparing for every single quarterback? 130 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:16,600 Speaker 2: Yeah? 131 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 3: Again, like you go back and watch all the quarterbacks 132 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 3: that they have on their roster. You obviously watch the 133 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,479 Speaker 3: offensive scheme that changes from week to week two, but 134 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 3: you know the throws that they've made in the games 135 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 3: they've played, and but you know, you've got to be 136 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 3: ready for the schematics of it, like thirty. 137 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,240 Speaker 4: Three thirty three, thirty thirty percent of your time, Like 138 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:36,719 Speaker 4: on each of those quarterbacks. 139 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:41,279 Speaker 3: I've watched every game that they've all played in pro 140 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 3: football in summer college. So again, whatever it is that 141 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,040 Speaker 3: whoever's out there, that's who we have to be ready 142 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,600 Speaker 3: to defend. If you guys figure out who's gonna be, 143 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 3: let me know, especially with you know. 144 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,919 Speaker 1: In flux position at quarterback that you've had.
