Yeah? 8 00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:22,479 Speaker 2: Absolutely, you know it's the start of the season, a 9 00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:24,840 Speaker 2: lot of unknowns. You get to go out there and 10 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:27,960 Speaker 2: play a real game, coaching a real game, deal with adversity. 11 00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:32,199 Speaker 2: You know, it's it's always exciting Opening Day one of 12 00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:36,360 Speaker 2: my favorite favorite games. You look at the old football 13 00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:39,199 Speaker 2: cliche that like the middle linebacker is the quarterback of 14 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:41,479 Speaker 2: the defense, and if so, how has Bobby done in 15 00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:44,040 Speaker 2: that role? Yeah, you know, I think you know, we 16 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:46,159 Speaker 2: got a lot of guys that are good communicators on 17 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:48,360 Speaker 2: our defense. Bobby has been a great addition in terms 18 00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:51,520 Speaker 2: of the communication aspect of it, and you know, talking 19 00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:53,320 Speaker 2: to the back end, also talking to the to the 20 00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:55,560 Speaker 2: front guys. X has done a great job with that 21 00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:57,680 Speaker 2: as well. But you know, Bobby's been a good addition 22 00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:01,400 Speaker 2: for us throughout camp. He's he's shown good leadership, He's 23 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:03,560 Speaker 2: had a really good camp for us, I'm excited to 24 00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:09,520 Speaker 2: watch him play. What makes dan Quinn's defense challenging to 25 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:10,240 Speaker 2: play against him? 26 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 1: That's a good question. 27 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:17,759 Speaker 2: He you know, one, he he always evolves over time. 28 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:22,080 Speaker 2: He's he has certain you know players or type of 29 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,760 Speaker 2: players that he has in his system that you know, 30 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 2: always create negative plays, which is a huge challenge against 31 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 2: his defense. Their ability to create negative plays and to 32 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:32,840 Speaker 2: create turnovers. So two of the most important things on 33 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 2: defense they do at a high, high level. And it's 34 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:37,320 Speaker 2: it's really it always seems when you're getting ready to 35 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,120 Speaker 2: play one of his defenses that that they're already up 36 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 2: there with that, whether it's you know, taking care of 37 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 2: the quarterback, getting into bad situations where it's total advantage 38 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 2: with one, I'd say their scheme, but two of their 39 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 2: players and how they play and the things that they 40 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 2: cause issues with for you know, whether it's our offensive 41 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 2: line or tight ends, running backs. You know, they're they 42 00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 2: have good corners usually that that can play you know, 43 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 2: they can play zone. But these two corners can play 44 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 2: both his own and man, so they tie in really well. 45 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 2: The front ties in with the back end. They're aggressive, 46 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 2: they're fast, and he does a great job of coaching 47 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 2: and his his defense evolved over time, but you know 48 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,240 Speaker 2: his basic structure in which he's you know, laid his 49 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:20,960 Speaker 2: foundation in and you can see it every time you're 50 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:22,120 Speaker 2: playing one of his teams. 51 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 3: All Right, you were talking about the excitement of opening day. Sure, 52 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 3: how much it's opening day, it's at home. How much 53 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,520 Speaker 3: do the does the home crowd play into that? 54 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,520 Speaker 1: Well? Playing well plays into that. That's that's what you 55 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:40,919 Speaker 1: need to do. Again. We have great appreciation for our fans. 56 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 2: And or hope they're here early and loud during the game, 57 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 2: but you also have to give them reason to be loud. 58 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,919 Speaker 1: So playing well is really what's the most important thing. 59 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,080 Speaker 4: What makes you believe that Jason Pinnock is ready to 60 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 4: be a starting safety in this league? 61 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 1: And when when did you start thinking it was even 62 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 1: a possibility? 63 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,799 Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, he's earned it out here. He's done a 64 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,920 Speaker 2: great job of picking up our defense. He's an athletic player, 65 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,360 Speaker 2: he's smart, he communicates well with X back there. 66 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:05,919 Speaker 1: You know he's earned his role. 67 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 5: When you say unknowns you mention a times, does that 68 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,359 Speaker 5: include you not knowing how your team is going to 69 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,359 Speaker 5: react or do you have a pretty good idea as 70 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 5: to how you guys. 71 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 1: Are going to react when the like school, Yeah, I 72 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 1: think I think you always do.
