1 00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:09,080 Speaker 1: After a tough loss in Denver. The Cleveland Browns will 2 00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:12,959 Speaker 1: start beginning preparations for the Los Angeles Rams on Monday, 3 00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:16,440 Speaker 1: but first to recap that loss and offer their final thoughts. 4 00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:19,239 Speaker 1: We hear from two players and head coach Tofanski today 5 00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:22,840 Speaker 1: on from the podium. First up was head coach Kevin Stefanski, 6 00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:25,480 Speaker 1: who gave us the final injury report from Sunday, including 7 00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:28,800 Speaker 1: the good news on Miles garrett shoulder, and recap the 8 00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:29,720 Speaker 1: game against Denver. 9 00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:33,800 Speaker 2: Okay injuries Amari, like I told the x Raiser negative, 10 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:37,560 Speaker 2: think he'll be okay, working through that this week. Jordan 11 00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:42,480 Speaker 2: Elliott similar with the ankle, day to day, but feel 12 00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:45,640 Speaker 2: good about where he is. Miles with the shoulder is sore, 13 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:49,360 Speaker 2: but feel good about where he'll be, but day to day. 14 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,080 Speaker 2: And then Dorian, like we talked about last week, we'll 15 00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 2: just continue to or last night, excuse me, We'll just 16 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:56,800 Speaker 2: continue to work through the protocol. 17 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 3: And make sure obviously you're following up step of that 18 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:02,080 Speaker 3: with the game. 19 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 2: You know, you watch it afterwards and it's we just 20 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:06,200 Speaker 2: didn't do enough of those things that you have to 21 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,119 Speaker 2: do to win on the road. Uh, you know, way 22 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,120 Speaker 2: too sloppy with the football, having the ball on the 23 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:15,400 Speaker 2: ground five times, you know, turning it over like we did, 24 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:17,560 Speaker 2: is those are giveaways, giving the game away, and we 25 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:19,959 Speaker 2: can't do that. And that's that's the things that we 26 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 2: really have to focus on moving forward is taking. 27 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 3: Care of that rock, uh. 28 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,320 Speaker 2: And then defensively, like you know, like we mentioned, they 29 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:32,039 Speaker 2: got some runs on us, which we will correct and 30 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,959 Speaker 2: because as you know, those are things that will keep 31 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,200 Speaker 2: showing up until you stop them. And we feel real 32 00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:40,840 Speaker 2: good about our plan moving forward. But plenty to clean up, 33 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,680 Speaker 2: plenty to correct, but just you're not going to win 34 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:46,320 Speaker 2: on the road when when you play like we played, 35 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 2: which was obviously disappointing. So now the focus shifts right 36 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 2: away to the rams and how we can correct some 37 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 2: of these things and be better on Sunday. And with that, 38 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 2: I'll take any questions. 39 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 4: Kevin, you said Miles is sore, but you feel good 40 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 4: out where he is. So the scans you god today 41 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 4: revealed no structural issues and as long as he's comfortable 42 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 4: playing from a pain perspective, he should be good to 43 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 4: go for Sunday. 44 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 5: Yes, sir, Thanks Jordan. Hey, Kevin, well that's been made 45 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 5: about the run pass imbalanced yesterday. What were you seeing 46 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 5: from the Broncos that that made you kind of maybe 47 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,360 Speaker 5: throw the ball a little bit more and maybe surprise 48 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:22,240 Speaker 5: some people a little bit. 49 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:23,360 Speaker 3: Yeah. 50 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,240 Speaker 2: I think we go into every game, Tom and you 51 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,640 Speaker 2: have a plan for things that they're going to do, 52 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 2: and then sometimes they show you things that you have 53 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:34,519 Speaker 2: to adjust. We felt like we had some good opportunities 54 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 2: there both in the run in the past game. We 55 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:40,839 Speaker 2: had some missed opportunities, unfortunately, and that's the frustrating part 56 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 2: of we have to hit some of those opportunities again, 57 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:45,840 Speaker 2: both in the run in the past to score more points. 58 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 5: I know you're trying to go one and oh all, 59 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 5: you know every week as part of your thinking though, 60 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 5: trying to get dtr you know, confident not only yesterday, 61 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 5: but obviously you know going forward, considering that he's potentially 62 00:02:58,160 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 5: going to start for the rest of the season. 63 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:00,519 Speaker 4: Yeah. 64 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,800 Speaker 2: I think with any young player, you're always going to 65 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 2: bring them along at a specific pace. 66 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:07,920 Speaker 3: I thought he did some really good things yesterday. 67 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,800 Speaker 2: Obviously, there's always things that you can clean up, and 68 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 2: it's rookie stuff, you know, there's different reads and footwork 69 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 2: or whatever it may be. But he played, you know, 70 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 2: he made a bunch of plays for us, so unfortunate to. 71 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:21,920 Speaker 3: Lose him due to injury. 72 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 6: Hey, Kevin, so with dtr still in the protocol, where 73 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 6: would you say you stand a quarterback as far as 74 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 6: getting ready for Sunday. 75 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll work through all that this week, Scott. As 76 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 2: you can imagine, we have Pja, we have Joe. If 77 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 2: Dorian's not available, and with Dorian. 78 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 6: Being a rookie, would he need to practice the whole 79 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 6: week to be able to play or pretty clear late 80 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 6: in the week and be good to go. 81 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, hard to say. I'm going to let the protocol play. 82 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 7: Out, Kevin. 83 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 8: I know every week you guys preached that ball security, 84 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 8: taking care of the ball. 85 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 7: Sunday seemed to have a lot of penalties. 86 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 8: What do you do approaching that this week to try 87 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 8: to clean that up, make sure that doesn't carry over 88 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 8: into LA. 89 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 9: Yeah. 90 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 2: Unfortunately, a lot of those defensive penalties and they gated 91 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 2: some some good plays and that's that's the frustrating part 92 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 2: that we have to clean up. We'll work very hard 93 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 2: at those, the aligned off sides, those those shouldn't happen 94 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:17,360 Speaker 2: and we'll be better this week. 95 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:19,799 Speaker 10: Yeah, Kevin, just wondering what would you need to see 96 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 10: from from Joe to make you feel comfortable that he's 97 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,840 Speaker 10: ready to start a game in the event that you need. 98 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 7: Him to do that for you. 99 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 3: Yeah. 100 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 2: I think with all of our players that you get 101 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 2: during the season, Mary kay you obviously you work with 102 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,920 Speaker 2: them in the meeting rooms, out in the practice field, 103 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,280 Speaker 2: see where they are. But we'll see where it goes, 104 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 2: where this week goes, based on obviously Dorian's health. 105 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 10: How did Joe pick seem to pick things up last week? 106 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,360 Speaker 10: I know it was just a brief encounter with him, 107 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,360 Speaker 10: but how did these seem to be integrating and acclimating. 108 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:54,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, he works very hard at it. 109 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 2: You know again, PJ went through a very similar thing 110 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,160 Speaker 2: where you get here and it's crash course and and 111 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,840 Speaker 2: extra time with the playbook and with the coaches and 112 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 2: you get up to speed as quickly as you can. 113 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 11: Yeah, Kevin, since taking this job, I think you've had 114 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:12,039 Speaker 11: every quarterback problem imaginable that you've had to deal with, 115 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 11: and you're back in the same spot here. How do 116 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 11: you get ready for a game not knowing who's going 117 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 11: to be available to you, or do you in your 118 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 11: mind have an idea of where things are headed? And 119 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:26,839 Speaker 11: you just want to kind of keep it to yourself. 120 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,280 Speaker 3: Well, I mean, we don't announce really starters at any 121 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 3: position on a Monday. So those are always things when 122 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 3: it comes to depth chart that you work through. You 123 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 3: just have the week to work through those type of things. 124 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:41,040 Speaker 3: So that's what we'll do as it pertains to who's available. 125 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 3: That's that's how the NFL operates. That's how we operate. 126 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 3: It changes week to week, that's just how it is. 127 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,719 Speaker 11: And how do you solve this drop passes thing that 128 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 11: has kind of popped up here in the last couple 129 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:54,160 Speaker 11: of weeks. 130 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 9: And what do you think the genesis of that? 131 00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 11: Because you guys have been really good catching the football 132 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:00,839 Speaker 11: until recently. 133 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:05,039 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's toss Daryld. It always comes back to technique. 134 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 2: I don't think you can simply say to somebody, hey, 135 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,119 Speaker 2: catch the ball. I think you have to talk about 136 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 2: the things that go into catching the ball, the act 137 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 2: of catching, and and there's all those coaching points. There's 138 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 2: all those things that you know you've been taught your 139 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 2: whole life, and then we'll continue to coach them up 140 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 2: because those are certainly correctable. 141 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 8: Hey, Kevin, how did you think mcja okay and the 142 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 8: other linebackers sort of filled in without Anthony on the 143 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 8: on the field yesterday, Yeah. 144 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:32,719 Speaker 2: There was some obviously some really good moments. I thought 145 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:37,040 Speaker 2: Jeremiah in particular, was all over the field. He was very, 146 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 2: very productive making plays sideline. The sideline obviously made a 147 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,479 Speaker 2: huge play for us on that fourth down knocking the 148 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:47,480 Speaker 2: ball out. So he's he has been making big plays 149 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,480 Speaker 2: for US all season, but but in particular, he really 150 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:50,480 Speaker 2: stepped up yesterday. 151 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:52,279 Speaker 9: All right, can you hear me? 152 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:53,159 Speaker 3: Yes? 153 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:55,159 Speaker 9: Sorry, Kevin. 154 00:06:56,279 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 12: I think Dorian has played three games and you guys 155 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 12: have scored two touchdowns in three games with him. Why 156 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 12: do you feel he's capable of shouldering the burden with 157 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 12: such each game being so critical going forward? Why do 158 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 12: you trust him to steer this ship home as the 159 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 12: starting quarterback? 160 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 9: Yeah? 161 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 2: I would just tell you any any young player, Tony 162 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:27,240 Speaker 2: that you put in there, and you're continuing to coach 163 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 2: and bring them along. Again, disappointed that that he got 164 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 2: hurt and yesterday's game, disappointed that you know that play occurred, 165 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 2: but we'll just keep bringing our young guys along. 166 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 13: And one other question is now that Watson is unavailable, 167 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 13: could any of your existing quarterbacks execute a quarterback snake 168 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 13: or do you have to rely on the tight end? 169 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 2: All things that will work through. Again, you know that 170 00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 2: ball was on the ground. That's unfortunate. That hasn't happened 171 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 2: this season, so we'll continue to work through it. 172 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 9: Boats. 173 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 14: You know, starting running back, Ford had only nine carries 174 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 14: and he he was averaging over seven yards of care. 175 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 14: Is there are some opportunities where he may get some 176 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 14: more carries and you all become a more ground based team, 177 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 14: because it seems that that's the one thing that this 178 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 14: team does well, and that's running the ball. 179 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 9: Thank you. 180 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought, you know, Jerome gave us some really 181 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,680 Speaker 2: good moments, uh in the run game. In the past game, 182 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 2: I had a couple of nice plays there in a 183 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,720 Speaker 2: two minute drive. We're going to count We're count on 184 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:39,839 Speaker 2: him every single week. As you know, we like our 185 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 2: running back room and we like to share the ball 186 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 2: for sure. 187 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:45,600 Speaker 15: Hey, I know you've been asked a lot about Joe 188 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 15: Flacco today while you're working through all of these different situations, 189 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:54,080 Speaker 15: But my question is more about skill setting. Joe's obviously 190 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 15: a little bit further in his career, right, been around 191 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 15: a long time, maybe not quite as mobile as Deshaan 192 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:05,320 Speaker 15: or Dorian is how does Joe's current skill set match 193 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 15: what you want to get out of a quarterback in 194 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 15: your offensive structure if he is forced to play. 195 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it just goes back to any player 196 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 2: at any position, you play to their strengths. Like you mentioned, Obviously, 197 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:23,720 Speaker 2: Joe is a different style of quarterback than Dorian or PJ. 198 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,679 Speaker 2: So we would have to adjust with any player at 199 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 2: that position based on their skill set. 200 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:32,559 Speaker 15: Is that an easy thing to do mid season when 201 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 15: you have something that feels a bit more drastic or 202 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:37,760 Speaker 15: are we making too much of that and you see 203 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:39,440 Speaker 15: more commonalities than maybe we do. 204 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:40,840 Speaker 3: Yeah? 205 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,320 Speaker 2: I think you know, offensively, you have to be able 206 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 2: to win in a variety of ways, so we will 207 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 2: always just play to the strengths of the quarterback. 208 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 10: Yeah, Kevin, just I'm assuming that you guys are going 209 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,840 Speaker 10: to have an opportunity to spend some time with Deshaun 210 00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 10: Watson since he's out here rehabbing. So my first question 211 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 10: was out him. What kind of lift do you think 212 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,600 Speaker 10: that might be able to give the guys to see him. 213 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 9: Yeah. 214 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 2: Obviously Deshaun rehabing here with having his surgery here, so 215 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 2: it's works out well, that we'll be able to see 216 00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:14,080 Speaker 2: him and he'll be able to be around the team, 217 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,440 Speaker 2: and that's always important. You know, a guy like Deshaun, 218 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 2: I think it's always important for him to be around 219 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:19,840 Speaker 2: his teammates. 220 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:24,320 Speaker 10: And then, you know, just seeing Nick Chubb in the 221 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 10: locker room yesterday, why did you think it was important 222 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,040 Speaker 10: even though he's so you know, fresh off of his 223 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:31,960 Speaker 10: surgery to come out here and be a part of this. 224 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 3: With you guys. 225 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 2: Well, he gets to rehab with us, and that's you know, 226 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:40,560 Speaker 2: part of his rehab process continues with us. But you know, again, 227 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:42,200 Speaker 2: nice to have Nick around. 228 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 4: Kevin, assuming that the DTR is not back by Wednesday, 229 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 4: are you going to split the first team reps between 230 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,839 Speaker 4: Joe and PJ. Do you have a sense of how 231 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 4: that is going to go as you figure out the 232 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 4: quarterback plan? 233 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd say we're working through it, Jake, just we 234 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,199 Speaker 2: really just finished meetings with the players now, so we'll 235 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:01,960 Speaker 2: work through all those. 236 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 6: Things talked about it in the past. But what's it 237 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 6: said about Miles for him to be able to fight 238 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,320 Speaker 6: through that yesterday and then continue to want to you know, 239 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,720 Speaker 6: finish the season despite being in what seems like a 240 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:11,160 Speaker 6: lot of pain. 241 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, he's he's a leader of this football team. 242 00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,319 Speaker 2: He was elected captain for a reason. He plays hard. 243 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 2: That's what we're gonna have to do this week. So 244 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 2: he sets the example that way. But it's it's the NFL. 245 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 2: It's almost December. Guys are playing banged up. It's just 246 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,400 Speaker 2: how it works. And but he sets a great example 247 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 2: for this football team. 248 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,320 Speaker 6: And you mentioned the run defense issues. What did you 249 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,160 Speaker 6: think were the biggest problems that the Broncos were able 250 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 6: to exploit. 251 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, they did a couple of things. 252 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:46,520 Speaker 2: You know that we're good obviously schematically, but as you 253 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,319 Speaker 2: know in this game, you always have counter moves to 254 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 2: those things. We got to them. We feel confident that 255 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:56,040 Speaker 2: we can play sound and it always is is. It 256 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 2: can always be from alignment, it can be from assignment, 257 00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 2: it can be tech nique. So those are all things 258 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 2: that will work hard on this week. 259 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 1: The players were up next, and running back Jerome Ford 260 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,840 Speaker 1: went first. He talked about his choice for my cause, 261 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,680 Speaker 1: my cleats, and how the team has shown so much 262 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 1: resiliency so far. 263 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 6: I know it's been about two months now where you 264 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,840 Speaker 6: don't know exactly who's starting a quarterback, depending on what 265 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 6: week it is. But how are you guys dealing with 266 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,480 Speaker 6: that again after watching detail go down yesterday. 267 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 16: It's the same way we've been dealing with it, knowing 268 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:26,839 Speaker 16: that there's a job to do and that we have, 269 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:29,840 Speaker 16: you know, more games of play, and that whoever's up 270 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 16: at quarterback, we're going to rally behind them and you know, 271 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 16: trusted they can do the job and you know, just 272 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 16: believe in the coaches and the coaching scheme that we have. 273 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 6: Have you got to spend any time with Joe Flacco yet, 274 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 6: and is there a comfort level having a guy with 275 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:45,600 Speaker 6: that much experience. 276 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,360 Speaker 16: I haven't had to spend much time with them besides 277 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,240 Speaker 16: meeting room and stuff like that, but you know, of 278 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,559 Speaker 16: course there's a comfort and having a guy like Joe 279 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,719 Speaker 16: Flacco and with everything that he's accomplished, you know, be 280 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,160 Speaker 16: in the same meeting room as you and onner same 281 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 16: team as you, and we're just pretty much looking forward 282 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 16: to what he can do to help the team and 283 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 16: how we can help him and build a relationship. 284 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 8: The run game has been the strength of this team 285 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:15,480 Speaker 8: all season long.

There was one 416 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,720 Speaker 15: player in particular that really caught my attention yesterday that 417 00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:32,160 Speaker 15: looked like, you know, a really good job in past pro. Obviously, 418 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,440 Speaker 15: this this room's gotten a lot of attention this year 419 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:37,280 Speaker 15: with Nick getting injured, and you guys have continued to 420 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:40,679 Speaker 15: be productive running the ball.

You know, we 430 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 16: spent a lot of time on it. I feel like 431 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 16: it's really important to protect the quarterback, you know, because 432 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:13,720 Speaker 16: you know, one of the most important players on the team. 433 00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:16,000 Speaker 9: But you know, everybody looks at. 434 00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:19,399 Speaker 16: Like, oh, that's a nice pass or oh, you know, 435 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:21,159 Speaker 16: that was a good run, but nobody really looks at 436 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:23,320 Speaker 16: the blocking that goes into it. And I feel like 437 00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:27,360 Speaker 16: blocking is a really big part of pretty much passing. 438 00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:28,119 Speaker 9: Here. 439 00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:31,879 Speaker 1: To wrap up the day, it was linebackers Cioni Taki Taki. 440 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:33,560 Speaker 1: He talked about how the team can sure up the 441 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:36,439 Speaker 1: run defense and how impressive it was to see Miles 442 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:39,680 Speaker 1: Garrett play through an injured shoulder for parts of last game. 443 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 5: Pretty positive news on Miles who it doesn't sound like 444 00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:44,200 Speaker 5: you had any structural damage. Is going to be okay, 445 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,880 Speaker 5: just from your standpoint, what's it mean to see him 446 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,640 Speaker 5: out there even playing you know, one arm for most 447 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:52,720 Speaker 5: of the second half and leading you guys. 448 00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:54,480 Speaker 9: Yeah, I know. 449 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:58,440 Speaker 17: Have you know your key player out there on defense 450 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 17: is big for the for the defense that you know, 451 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,359 Speaker 17: he brings a lot of big plays to us and 452 00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:07,320 Speaker 17: then just just his presence alone is big for us. 453 00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:09,840 Speaker 17: And just to hear he was hurt, obviously he was 454 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:13,440 Speaker 17: banged up second half. You know, he's a warrior, continues 455 00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 17: to play even even though he was hurt. Could probably 456 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,680 Speaker 17: you know, sat out, but just you know, it tells 457 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 17: you a lot of type of player he is. So 458 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:23,640 Speaker 17: I'm happy that you know it was in nothing crazy 459 00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 17: and you know he could. 460 00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:27,840 Speaker 9: Heal up and and be ready to go. 461 00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:30,520 Speaker 5: And the Broncos you're able to gash you guys a 462 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:32,440 Speaker 5: little bit on the run. What what did you see 463 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:34,120 Speaker 5: as like the major problem yesterday? 464 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:36,720 Speaker 9: Yeah, no, tip tip our hats to those guys. 465 00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:40,040 Speaker 17: Now, obviously we put ourselves on being stouted in a run. 466 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:44,080 Speaker 17: I felt like Denver really came out and schemed us. Well, 467 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:46,400 Speaker 17: gash does We just got to do better. 468 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:46,880 Speaker 9: Overall. 469 00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:50,840 Speaker 17: We watched the tape and definitely got to make those 470 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,760 Speaker 17: corrections make sure it doesn't linger into this week. But 471 00:21:55,240 --> 00:22:00,679 Speaker 17: very good old line run backs. Russell's definitely just a 472 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:04,359 Speaker 17: lieutenant out there making calls and you know, salute to 473 00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 17: those guys for going out there and executing their game plan. 474 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:10,439 Speaker 10: Say, can you just address the fact that you know, 475 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:13,040 Speaker 10: the last two games, I think it was one seventy 476 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:16,920 Speaker 10: two yards allowed and then one sixty nine yards allowed, 477 00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 10: which has been uncharacteristic of you guys. So what you know, 478 00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 10: what can you do to shore that back up? 479 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:28,000 Speaker 17: Yeah, we just got to get back to our fundamentals 480 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:32,359 Speaker 17: and really lock in, tune in this week, so it 481 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 17: doesn't doesn't you know, it doesn't happen. You know, obviously 482 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,520 Speaker 17: happened Steelers. You know they break for that long run, 483 00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:42,639 Speaker 17: we come back kind of just and then this week, 484 00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:46,159 Speaker 17: you know, letting those runs linger all game. Definitely just 485 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:48,719 Speaker 17: have to get back to our fundamentals, lock in this week, 486 00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:52,000 Speaker 17: knowing that you know, the Rams can also do the same. 487 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:54,440 Speaker 17: They'll watch the tape too, So we just got to 488 00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:57,000 Speaker 17: be prepared, lock in, put in the extra hours, and 489 00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:58,680 Speaker 17: really tune in when practice comes around. 490 00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:03,000 Speaker 6: I staying on that run defense, Kevin mentioned that the 491 00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:05,919 Speaker 6: Broncos got you schematically a little bit early and then 492 00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 6: you guys adjusted to that. How much of that was 493 00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:11,320 Speaker 6: Russ and his ability to keep the ball on those 494 00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:13,800 Speaker 6: zone reads and just checking with things. It's a line 495 00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:14,520 Speaker 6: of scrimmage too. 496 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,439 Speaker 17: Yeah, you know, they were definitely scheming up runs. We 497 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:19,720 Speaker 17: let some get away from us. Obviously we could be better. 498 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,920 Speaker 17: Look myself in the mirror first, knowing that I could 499 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:24,760 Speaker 17: have did a better job, but we just got to 500 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:27,440 Speaker 17: be stout overall, not letting those runs kind of linger 501 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 17: throughout the whole game. We adjusted, but you know sometimes 502 00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:34,159 Speaker 17: when you just you know, playing from behind, just it 503 00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:37,000 Speaker 17: doesn't feel well. But yeah, Russ, overall, he was doing 504 00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:38,920 Speaker 17: a great job, just kind of checking, doing a bunch 505 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:42,119 Speaker 17: of checks at the line, just kind of seeing what 506 00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:43,639 Speaker 17: we're in again. 507 00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:45,399 Speaker 9: Just tip tip our hats to those guys. 508 00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:48,320 Speaker 17: Man five winning straight, good team, getting hot at the 509 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 17: right time, and you know it really went out there 510 00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:52,320 Speaker 17: and executed. 511 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:53,640 Speaker 9: Just got to tip our hats to those guys. 512 00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:55,600 Speaker 8: And Seana, I know you had to do it before, 513 00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,679 Speaker 8: but with Anthony Walker out, how do you think that 514 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:00,959 Speaker 8: you and the other one and backers were able to 515 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,320 Speaker 8: step in and kind of embody that next band up 516 00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:05,879 Speaker 8: mentality and how do you take that forward with you 517 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:07,080 Speaker 8: with the Rams up next? 518 00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:10,440 Speaker 17: Yeah, just in this league, like I've always said, you 519 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:13,720 Speaker 17: just got to be ready obviously, you know you want 520 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:17,360 Speaker 17: to play better. Probably wasn't our clean, cleanest game overall. 521 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:19,320 Speaker 17: You know, we could definitely be all beast out. But 522 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:22,840 Speaker 17: I feel like, you know, you look at Jock, flew around, 523 00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:26,760 Speaker 17: made a lot of plays, you know, and walkers continue 524 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:29,000 Speaker 17: to get healthy, so you know him coming back would 525 00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:33,400 Speaker 17: be a big help to the room and into long season. Obviously, 526 00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:36,080 Speaker 17: you know, things happen, but when your numbers call, you 527 00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:37,840 Speaker 17: got you got to just go out there and execute. 528 00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:41,200 Speaker 17: So we'll get back to the drawing board and uh, 529 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:43,560 Speaker 17: you know, clean up all clean up all the assignments. 530 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 14: You know, only my calls, my cleats.

What can you guys do defensively to shore 545 00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:37,520 Speaker 11: that up in the red zone, that that red zone 546 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:39,440 Speaker 11: defense when you have to get out there on a 547 00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:40,280 Speaker 11: quick change. 548 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:43,399 Speaker 17: Yeah, obviously you know the big you know, that's one 549 00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:45,040 Speaker 17: of the big stats in the game, you know, just 550 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:46,040 Speaker 17: taking care of the ball. 551 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:48,520 Speaker 9: So you know, we could definitely. 552 00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:50,800 Speaker 17: Be better there.

We could do better. 557 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,680 Speaker 17: So offense, defense, special teams, we got to play better 558 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 17: as a unit. And even if we you know, do 559 00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:08,760 Speaker 17: get those short fields, you know, we gotta have the 560 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:11,800 Speaker 17: mindset of going out there and getting the stop.
