1 00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:03,440 Speaker 1: Danny Shelton seems to be playing at a very high 2 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:07,840 Speaker 1: level this year. Second year with you with him, What 3 00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:10,600 Speaker 1: have you noticed in terms of him this year that 4 00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:12,680 Speaker 1: maybe has stood out to you relative to what you 5 00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:17,560 Speaker 1: saw last year? Well, last year obviously the things that 6 00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:20,200 Speaker 1: that we did were there's a lot of carry over 7 00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:21,960 Speaker 1: into this year. But I would think even just when 8 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:23,960 Speaker 1: I first saw Danny come back in the spring and 9 00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:26,640 Speaker 1: where he was in the fall, in the camp, and 10 00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:30,520 Speaker 1: now six weeks behind us and going into obviously the 11 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:36,600 Speaker 1: Jets games, he's just his I would say, candor in 12 00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:39,800 Speaker 1: his preparation. You know, he's very detailed every day, wants 13 00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:41,920 Speaker 1: to know what he can work on. We obviously have 14 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,199 Speaker 1: certain things set up in practice that allow him to 15 00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:46,479 Speaker 1: you know, get good at the things that we're going 16 00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:47,800 Speaker 1: to use during the course of the week. But I 17 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,199 Speaker 1: think he's concentrated on his weaknesses or the things that 18 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 1: he's perceived as his weaknesses, as let's let's get these 19 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:56,400 Speaker 1: behind us, be a part of the past, and then 20 00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,040 Speaker 1: we can concentrate on making them strengths. And that's really 21 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 1: kind of what I've seen. We get a week out 22 00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:02,600 Speaker 1: the way he uses his hand to he moves his feet, 23 00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,160 Speaker 1: the power that he plays with. Um, the plays he's 24 00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,520 Speaker 1: got involved with are really they're not just happening by chance, 25 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:14,120 Speaker 1: they're they're really execution on his BAP. Thank you yep. 26 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:19,800 Speaker 1: Our next question Evan Lazar, followed by Tom Kerry, coach. 27 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 1: I just wanted to ask you about Teatrich wise and 28 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 1: what you've seen from him and how he's proved so 29 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 1: far in this season. Yeah, I think the last two 30 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,760 Speaker 1: games in particular, you've really seen a flash into what 31 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 1: we've kind of seen all along. He's come full circle 32 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 1: just on his again, on his preparation, the way he's 33 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 1: locked into the game plan. He's you know, a very 34 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 1: very gifted pass rusher. But now he's made some plays 35 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,000 Speaker 1: early on last week, one of the first no runs 36 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:46,760 Speaker 1: was a was a solo stop by him where he 37 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 1: just played off the guard and made a nice routine play. 38 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 1: That really kind of shows the evolution he's gone through, 39 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 1: just his ability to get on and off blocks, to 40 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 1: make tackles, and then he's always loved to rush the 41 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 1: pastor as long as I've known him, that something he's 42 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 1: really enjoyed doing. But to make his game complete now 43 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 1: it's probably the difference that set him apart just to 44 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 1: quick follow up. But what for a player like that, 45 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 1: you know, what does he need to do to maybe 46 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:17,239 Speaker 1: see some more snaps. Well, it's kind of an issue 47 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 1: within just how the games have kind of unfolded. You know, 48 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 1: we played about fifty snaps the other day and and 49 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:23,800 Speaker 1: you know, so we just don't have a high snap count. 50 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 1: But his percentage has grown a little bit more with 51 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:28,800 Speaker 1: every game. Obviously the one game he was inactive for, 52 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 1: but um, you know last week he started for US 53 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 1: in base defense, you know where he was in there 54 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 1: with Adam and I'm sorry, with LG and Danny M. 55 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 1: And then he also played for US on third down packages. So, um, 56 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,360 Speaker 1: I think just as as the game is evolved this fall, 57 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 1: and then as we get in more specific game plans 58 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,960 Speaker 1: for these upcoming games, it could you know, put him 59 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,080 Speaker 1: in a more prominent position as far as the rep count. 60 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:55,920 Speaker 1: But the thing I love about working with Dtrich, he 61 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 1: just really does, truly just try to take advantage of 62 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,800 Speaker 1: every opportunity he gets. He doesn't really kind or worried 63 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 1: so much about where it is or how it comes about. 64 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 1: It's just a matter of what he gets done when 65 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:12,640 Speaker 1: he's in there. Thanks Ketch, Tom Kern, followed by Michael Kraigner. Hey, Brett, 66 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 1: um if I'm wondering about Adam Adam Butler kind of 67 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:18,920 Speaker 1: on the same line as the other two guys. But 68 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:23,639 Speaker 1: what is it in your mind that he's doing so 69 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 1: much better than previously or is he just showing up more? 70 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 1: He just seems so versatile and showing up on play 71 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 1: after play after playoff season. Yeah, I think Adam is 72 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 1: a very unique player, and the fact that you know, 73 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 1: even last year, you know, he was more of a 74 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 1: third down role, a guy that was used at sub 75 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 1: pactes and used in certain ways. This year he has 76 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 1: become I really give a lot of credit to him. 77 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 1: You know, we talked early in the spring last year 78 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 1: about becoming a more complete player on early downs and 79 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 1: being able to play certain techniques. You know, he's long, 80 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 1: he's athletic, he has a way to bend. He's one 81 00:03:56,320 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 1: of those guys that really does very seldom ever get 82 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 1: out of position. He plays his He really has very 83 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 1: good balance, understands leverage, is a very intelligent player. He 84 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 1: uses that Vanderbilt degree every day, you know what I mean, 85 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 1: He just truly is a guy that you know really 86 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 1: gets it, understands it and can process it. And then 87 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 1: the thing has probably been really this year working with 88 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:20,720 Speaker 1: him and during the course of the game, is he 89 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,040 Speaker 1: understands when things happen, literally on the spot, he can 90 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:27,599 Speaker 1: come to the sideline, you know, digest what just happened, 91 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,040 Speaker 1: what they're trying to do, how we can combat it. 92 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 1: Gives a lot of really good information. You know, as 93 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:37,840 Speaker 1: coaches sometimes you don't get all the most accurate information sometimes, 94 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 1: but I will say this, it be really does take 95 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 1: a lot of pride and his skill set on game 96 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,839 Speaker 1: day and that's what's really shown up. So it's good 97 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 1: as drastic to you guys as it has been to 98 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 1: us on the outside. Is you know, to me, I've 99 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 1: always I kind of last year even kind of came 100 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:57,919 Speaker 1: to him because you know, the one thing I've always 101 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 1: tried to stress the Adams be the great. You don't 102 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:01,719 Speaker 1: try to be something or not, don't try to be 103 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,840 Speaker 1: something that maybe isn't in your DNA. Just be good 104 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 1: at what you're good at. And that's that's what I 105 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 1: really kind of try to stress him, and that's really 106 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:11,799 Speaker 1: come out. I don't know if he ever saw himself 107 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 1: as an every down player in the past, and he's 108 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 1: really embraced that role. And then the other thing that's 109 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:19,919 Speaker 1: that's very common and I'm sure you see this a 110 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,159 Speaker 1: little bit is you know, I know, and you know 111 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 1: the assist game only comes up in basketball, where you know, 112 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 1: you got to give someone the ball to make the shot, 113 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 1: but if they counted assist in football, he does more 114 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,920 Speaker 1: things to draw the attention or to create a blockings 115 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 1: team that it frees up another player repeatedly within our schemes. 116 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 1: And that's a true testament to him. And I tell 117 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:42,920 Speaker 1: you a lot of the other defensive guys, they would 118 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 1: tell you they probably want to ad him, line it 119 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 1: up to him next next to him as much as 120 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 1: anybody because he creates that kind of that type of 121 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:55,359 Speaker 1: play for other people. Really terrific. Thank you. Yeah, it 122 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 1: looks like the last question me Mike the track, Go ahead, Mike, 123 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,840 Speaker 1: Thanks Stacy morning, Grett. How are you, Hey, Mike, how 124 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 1: are you? I'm very well and I kind of want 125 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 1: to follow up on the point Tom was just asking 126 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 1: you about. But overall, you guys seem to be doing 127 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 1: a very good job this year staying out of you know, 128 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 1: second and short and third and short situations. What are 129 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,359 Speaker 1: the keys and how big of a part is Adam 130 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:25,479 Speaker 1: Butler apart of good run defense. Well, I appreciate the question. 131 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: I think, you know, the things that do come up 132 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:28,600 Speaker 1: during the course of the game, first you have to 133 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:30,480 Speaker 1: be able to recognize them. And I give a lot 134 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,039 Speaker 1: of credit to our players. You know, Coach always dressed 135 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 1: as smart, tough, dependable players, and we have those guys 136 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,280 Speaker 1: all around us, not just in the defensive line, but 137 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 1: outside linebacker, inside linebacker, safeties, corners. They're just all very 138 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 1: very intelligent players. So they're not just going and playing 139 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 1: another down there, they're recognizing what the down is. I 140 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 1: think back to last week early on there was a 141 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:53,839 Speaker 1: play that I believed game to eight or nine on 142 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:55,720 Speaker 1: first down, so it was a second and short, and 143 00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 1: we had a routine call where I believe Danny, you know, 144 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 1: in some I held the point inside and all of 145 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 1: a sudden it became a third and two and then 146 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 1: the play got flushed out to high power who had 147 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 1: a stack on the on the bootleg or the play 148 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,160 Speaker 1: action to the right, and all of a sudden we 149 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 1: were off the field, and just as a defense to 150 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 1: you know, be able to recognize that moment, to be 151 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 1: able to capitalize on it on second and short that 152 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 1: created the third and medium that created the fourth down, 153 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 1: the third down stop that got us off the field. 154 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 1: That that's a lot more more I would say, preparation 155 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 1: oriented than anything. That the guys are locked into that 156 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 1: moment and to see it come full circle and to 157 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 1: see the results is really fun to be a part of. Terrific. 158 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 1: Thanks br Yep.
