00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 1: A packed show today, offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey will kick

10
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 1: us off, and he spoke on his first season in

11
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 1: Cleveland as a coordinator.

12
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:55,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I think the whole thing with him

13
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 2: is like he's prepared, like like he's been, you know,

14
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 2: a player, like a starter. So he does a good

15
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 2: job with his preparation. He's played a good amount ball obviously,

16
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 2: so he's got good experience, strong arm, smart, you know.

17
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 2: So I think he's he's put himself in position for

18
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:16,559
Speaker 2: for the potential of the opportunity right there. But uh,

19
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 2: you know, we've got we've got faith in in that room.

20
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 2: That we just got to go out and play at

21
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 2: a high level and protect the football and and do

22
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 2: the right things. And you know, if if he's out there,

23
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 2: we expect him to do that.

24
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 3: I think is the last time I've been talking to

25
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 3: you before before the season ends. Just what was I

26
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 3: would you describe his experience in Cleveland this first year.

27
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 3: Obviously the on field success maybe not being what well

28
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 3: in envision, but I'm just trying to kind of parts

29
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 3: the season and like, what what things didn't really go

30
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:46,400
Speaker 3: your way in terms of the offense.

31
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I mean, obviously the biggest thing is, you know,

32
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 2: just didn't win enough games. And and at the end

33
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 2: of the day, you know that that comes down to

34
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 2: score enough points to do it. You know, you gotta

35
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 2: figure out a way to at least score one more.

36
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 2: And and uh, obviously we gotta we gotta do that more.

37
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 2: And and uh wasn't Uh wasn't something that we expected

38
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 2: and and and anticipated, But you know, you gotta you

39
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,359
Speaker 2: go through, you go through these times. You know, it's

40
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 2: like life. You know, you get you get punched in

41
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 2: the gut sometimes in life, and and for us it's

42
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,079
Speaker 2: gonna be not about you know, anything else. Than how

43
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 2: you respond. You know, you gotta respond in life, you

44
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 2: gotta respond in ball, and we're gonna have to do

45
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 2: that this week and and then moving forward in the future.

46
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 2: So you know, it's kind of put in perspective for

47
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 2: me a lot you know, went through some you know, uh,

48
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 2: watching watching, uh, you know, some of my immediate family

49
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 2: kind of go through some some stuff this year, you know,

50
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 2: and and how she handled it, you know, through uh,

51
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 2: you know, going through a situation you know, uh, cancer

52
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,519
Speaker 2: diagnosis and and everything like that, and just how how

53
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 2: she was able to handle that and and and really

54
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 2: be strong through the pain she was having through the

55
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 2: treatments and and things like that. It really gave me

56
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 2: a perspective about what what fighting is all about, and

57
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 2: what and how important that is. And it really gave

58
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 2: me a perspective. And not to get on a soapbox here,

59
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 2: but anybody who's going through that, just keep fighting, you know,

60
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 2: and fight and and get through it. Because seeing it firsthand,

61
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 2: that was that was a first for me. And uh,

62
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 2: you know, put put a lot of things in perspective

63
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 2: about you know, one, how how strong she is, but

64
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 2: also you know, how strong you've got to be in

65
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 2: life and and how strong will have to be as

66
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 2: a football team moving forward. And that's going to be

67
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 2: the expectation that I have for this for this unit

68
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 2: moving forward, you know, this week and in the future years.

69
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 4: We're running about it. But how is she doing that?

70
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 5: Good?

71
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 4: Yeah? Really good?

72
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 6: Thank you?

73
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, So.

74
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 2: That's you guys know, it's those things are processes that

75
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 2: you gotta do. I get ruin. So we're we're early

76
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 2: in the stage of treatments, but uh in the treatment,

77
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 2: but you know, getting through it.

78
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 7: DTR was pretty hard out of himself after both and

79
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 7: he just looks really shaken. What can you what can

80
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 7: you do to salvage anything for him?

81
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 2: Look, I mean he's a young, young player, and you

82
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,720
Speaker 2: know he's these are these are early games that he's

83
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,840
Speaker 2: starting and and with every single rep you take in

84
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 2: this league, especially game action, you're gonna learn and he's

85
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 2: gonna learn and continue to grow, you know. And I

86
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 2: believe that with him. He's got an incredible work ethic. Uh,

87
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 2: he's got an incredible drive and determination, great skill set.

88
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 2: You know, he's just got to keep working and get

89
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 2: better every single every single day, every single uh, every

90
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 2: single rep he gets. So I think we just got

91
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 2: to continue to to work at it, continue to grind

92
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 2: and and he's gonna to grow as as a player

93
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 2: with all these reps. And you know, uh, like any player,

94
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 2: you're gonna be disappointed if you don't perform up to

95
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 2: the standard in what you set for yourself. And and

96
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 2: you want that from a player because you want that drive.

97
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 2: You want him to to feel like, Okay, I can

98
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 2: be better than this, because he's going to keep working

99
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 2: to go get it. So we're we're gonna keep working

100
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,160
Speaker 2: with him and making sure that we're doing everything we

101
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 2: can to put him in position to to make sure

102
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 2: he's grown as a player.

103
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 8: You know, we we'd ask you about, you know, various

104
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,479
Speaker 8: issues with the offense or whatever. But now you're in

105
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 8: the final week, Just why was this so tough to fix?

106
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 8: And you know, do you have a pretty good idea

107
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 8: of what it's going to take to fix.

108
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:43,160
Speaker 4: It for next season?

109
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 2: That's a really good question. I think in terms of

110
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,840
Speaker 2: next season, you know, I think there's gonna be a

111
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 2: great evaluation, you know, in the offseason, you know of

112
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 2: looking at Okay, here's what here's what we got to

113
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 2: do better, Here's where you know, here's the things we

114
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 2: gotta to fix moving forward, and a lot of it's

115
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 2: just gonna come down to just our consistency. You know,

116
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,479
Speaker 2: you see flashes of it, and and you know, we've

117
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,359
Speaker 2: just got to make sure that we're playing at a

118
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 2: level we are capable playing on a consistent basis, you know,

119
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 2: no matter what if that's a new concept, an old concept,

120
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 2: anything like that. So at the end of the day,

121
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,359
Speaker 2: you know, we're gonna go through those processes in the

122
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 2: off season. We're gonna evaluate everything to make sure that

123
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 2: we're putting our guys in the right position, uh to

124
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 2: be successful. And I think that's that's gonna be an

125
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 2: important part of the offseason. And when these guys come in,

126
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 2: you know they're gonna be they're gonna be ready to

127
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,280
Speaker 2: roll in terms of, hey, here's what we're gonna do

128
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 2: to fix this, to make sure that we're we're operating

129
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 2: at a high level in one of the top offense

130
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 2: in the league.

131
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 3: With some uncertainty about just how the franchise, the team

132
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 3: is gonna move forward in the offseason. But have you

133
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 3: spoken to Kevin about returning next year and would you'd

134
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 3: like to return?

135
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 9: You know, obviously you know.

136
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:01,920
Speaker 2: I'm just focused on this week. Yeah, that's that's my focus. Uh,

137
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,479
Speaker 2: we'll cross those bridges you know next week.

138
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:09,039
Speaker 10: Had to call upon Jameis Winston for this week. Do

139
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 10: you feel like his shoulder would be able to handle.

140
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think, you know, it's continuing to get better.

141
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 2: And you know, I think yesterday was a walk through practice,

142
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 2: so we'll we'll evaluate that kind of today tomorrow to

143
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 2: make sure in these full speed practices, you know, to

144
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 2: make sure that that he's able to to operate at

145
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 2: a level that that he can do it throw in

146
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 2: the football, you know, and and I think, uh, I

147
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 2: think he's been been close in the previous weeks. We'll

148
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 2: just continue to operate that as we go here.

149
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 11: It could be said he doesn't know if he's getting

150
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 11: retired this season or not. What's it been like for

151
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 11: your coaching him this year, and just what kind of

152
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 11: a level is he still playing in.

153
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean he's he's been an anchor for us,

154
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 2: you know, and and just you know in there all

155
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 2: the time. I mean, shoot the mouse snaps he has

156
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 2: this season and and I think he's leading the league

157
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 2: and in number of snaps in the season, I believe, so, Uh,

158
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 2: in the NFL. Uh, So he's playing playing, still playing

159
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 2: at a high level, you know. And and he's a smart, tough,

160
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 2: dependable football player. And that's what you look for in offense,

161
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 2: is we want we want players who are smart, tough

162
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 2: and dependable. And that's you know, embodied in in his DNA.

163
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 2: So very fortunate to have him and and uh, obviously

164
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 2: I think he was definitely playing at a at a

165
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 2: high level this year.

166
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,319
Speaker 10: Said Tillman. What do you feel like the outlook is

167
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 10: like for said going forward?

168
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, obviously it's unfortunate having had him, you

169
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 2: know available. The past few weeks have been good opportunities,

170
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 2: uh for him to continue to grow as a football player.

171
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 2: So I think the big thing for him is going

172
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 2: to be getting you know, getting the work in, getting

173
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 2: back once he's healthy and and and picking up really

174
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 2: where he left off, because I thought, you know, he

175
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 2: was ascending in in a really positive direction, you know,

176
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 2: and and uh, unfortunately, you know, uh he had the injury.

177
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 2: Uh that set back there. Guys have really kind of

178
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 2: stepped up in his in a stead. But he did

179
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 2: a lot for us from you know, blocking, receiving, you

180
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:18,559
Speaker 2: know a lot of different things contact vertically underneath went

181
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 2: on quick routes. So I think the ceiling is very

182
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,079
Speaker 2: high for him as he continues to grow as a

183
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 2: football player.

184
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 11: Like DTR and some of those like second level drows

185
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 11: where you gotta you know, kind of love over the guy.

186
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 11: Does he have to get better in that area? Sometimes

187
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 11: it looks like everything comes out kind of yeah.

188
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think obviously guys with with that type of

189
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 2: arm talent, which you know, I never really had to

190
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 2: worry about too much, but uh, guys like that, you know,

191
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 2: I think that's a that's a growing curve, you know

192
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 2: because uh, sometimes stronger arm guys want to see it

193
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 2: open and then fire it in there. Now, I do

194
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,200
Speaker 2: think he has that that ability to do that, and

195
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 2: it's just a comfort level for him. And and again

196
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 2: that's a that's growth, you know. When I was here

197
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:04,680
Speaker 2: with with da you know, he was he was a

198
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 2: guy of strong arm, see it open, you know, fit

199
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 2: in tight windows and those types of things. When I

200
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,319
Speaker 2: played with him here, when I coached him in Carolina,

201
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:16,679
Speaker 2: his his mentality completely changed to an anticipator and laying

202
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 2: it in windows and throwing those incuts you know, five

203
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 2: yards before they even come out. Breaks and those types

204
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 2: of things. So that's a that's a growth that that

205
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,959
Speaker 2: these guys will have and and I think Dorian's growing

206
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 2: in that that regard, and I think you see flashes

207
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 2: of it, you know, and it'll continue to grow for him,

208
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 2: like a lot of these guys who have, you know,

209
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 2: the arm talent that he has.

210
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 1: Defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz raved about the play of Miles

211
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 1: Garrett this season.

212
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 12: Considering the circumstances and everything, You're gonna have some young

213
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 12: guys out there, Isaiah Mike, is this maybe the best

214
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 12: situation for him to get kind of a true you know,

215
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 12: going into the offseason evaluation. When you're you're not facing

216
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 12: the Ravens backups, they're gonna have to defend against, you know,

217
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 12: two time MVP Derrick Henry all of that. You kind

218
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 12: of look at that, you know, I don't want to

219
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,959
Speaker 12: say best case scenario, but but in terms of big picture,

220
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:06,199
Speaker 12: long term, yeah.

221
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 5: I don't know.

222
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 13: I don't know if I like go with that, because

223
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 13: Isaiah's played a lot of football against a lot of

224
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 13: people this year, and Mike has played when he's been

225
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 13: either when he's been healthy or not suspended, So he's

226
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 13: been out. I mean, so it's not like this is

227
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 13: just a continuation for them. It's not like, oh wow,

228
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 13: this is an audition. You know, we're gonna do everything

229
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 13: we can to win the game. And you know, in spots,

230
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 13: those guys have played good football for us this year,

231
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:38,839
Speaker 13: so they're gonna have to work cut out for him.

232
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 13: It's a really good running attack and you have a

233
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 13: quarterback component to it, and then you got to chase

234
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 13: the most elusive quarterback in the NFL that can extend

235
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 13: plays and also can throw long time. So there's a

236
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:57,560
Speaker 13: lot of challenges and you know, not just Mike Orsey,

237
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 13: but we need our whole defensive line and the whole

238
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 13: coordinated coverage to be able to play well.

239
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 5: Puts a lot of stress on your defense.

240
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:08,719
Speaker 13: If you're in if you're in zone coverage, then he

241
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 13: can he can buy time, and then you're trying to

242
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 13: plaster receivers that are running playgroundish routes, you know, trying

243
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 13: to get open. But then if you lead the quarterback alone,

244
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 13: he can you know, he can go rush for first

245
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 13: down or make a big play.

246
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 5: We've seen that a lot too, you know.

247
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 13: And then if you're in man, the man a lot

248
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 13: of times it gets empty and he's.

249
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 5: Got a lot of rooms.

250
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 13: So we're got to be disciplined in our rushes. We're

251
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 13: going to be disciplined in our coverage, and we're gonna

252
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 13: have to do a good job stopping the run because

253
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:43,199
Speaker 13: that's where it all starts and keep Derrick Henry from

254
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 13: going north south.

255
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 6: Miles last layer.

256
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 3: I think, I think after the last game he spoke

257
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:48,719
Speaker 3: about the kind of the future of this defense and

258
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 3: saying that it's clear that there's you know, that there's

259
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 3: talent to work with in terms of maybe the young talent,

260
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,559
Speaker 3: especially on the defensive line. Have you left do you

261
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:57,679
Speaker 3: kind of leave this season thinking that you do have

262
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 3: a young core that's ready to step into bigger now.

263
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:03,559
Speaker 13: You know, we're trying not to be so much in

264
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 13: the evaluation mode right now. You know, we respect this

265
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:08,680
Speaker 13: game too much and we've got a game to go

266
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:12,200
Speaker 13: out there and and and win, So we'll leave the

267
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 13: evaluation stuff, you know, till the end of the season

268
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 13: and those kind of things. But I think we have

269
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 13: seen some improvement from some guys. We talked about a couple,

270
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 13: but Jowan Briggs has really been a improving player for

271
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 13: us every time he's gone out, he's played, He's played better,

272
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 13: he's been powerful, he's been active. You know, he's he's

273
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 13: assignment sound, and I think that's you know, he started

274
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 13: to year, you know, inactive practice squad and then moved

275
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 13: up and you know, had some rough spots early, but

276
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,839
Speaker 13: his his arrow has definitely been up.

277
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 5: And you know.

278
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 13: Sam Kamara sort of the same way started off on

279
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 13: the practice squad has given us some good some good

280
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 13: reps in there. So there's some good things from from

281
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 13: some from some young guys in there.

282
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 7: This is rodnery Cloud's last game, So what does he

283
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:10,960
Speaker 7: mean as he meant to your defense?

284
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:12,680
Speaker 4: And how will you be missed?

285
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean he's meant a lot to this organization,

286
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 13: to the city, He's meant a lot to me personally.

287
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 13: I've coached Rod five seven years now, seven of his

288
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 13: thirteen or fourteen, whatever it's been for him. He's the

289
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 13: guy that everybody in the locker room looks up to

290
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 13: because he's a consummate pro. But he also backs that

291
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 13: up with with quality play on the field. I know,

292
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 13: like our safeties coaches have put together a lot of

293
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 13: like teach tape kind of things for off season and

294
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 13: training camp and things like that, and Rod is at

295
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 13: the middle of a lot of those because his technique

296
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 13: is so good. And when you're you know, fourteen years

297
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 13: in the league, you know it's it's father time, and

298
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 13: eventually your physical skills are going to go, you know,

299
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 13: decline a little bit.

300
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 5: But Rod is really.

301
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 13: Offset that by his competitiveness and his outstanding technique. He's

302
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 13: been an inspiration for a lot of people. But he's

303
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 13: been a great example for the young guys on our team.

304
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 5: And you know, we owe it to Rod.

305
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 13: To to be able to come out and and make

306
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 13: his last game a success successful one, come out with

307
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 13: a win. That would be a big thing for us

308
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 13: to win on the road at Baltimore.

309
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 5: It's easy to look at you know.

310
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 12: I know he might not get to.

311
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 4: Talk to you anymore.

312
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 5: But last year, the defense at the top is it.

313
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 14: Kevin talked about that turnover ratio and to be I mean,

314
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 14: there still give up thirty two turnovers, but the defense

315
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 14: hasn't hadn't taken away. I know you stress it, but

316
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 14: does that give hope that you know, the ball doesn't

317
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 14: always bounce that way?

318
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm not that far off.

319
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean sometimes that happens. You know, I think

320
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 13: that statistically the fumbles, the fumbles lost for an offense

321
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 13: as a tendency to get lack of better term, random.

322
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 13: You know, it can go high, it can go low.

323
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 13: You know, I'd like to come down with a few

324
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 13: more interceptions. And that's a combination of Russia and coverage.

325
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 13: You know, you get good pressure and the quarterback goes

326
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 13: office back foot and you know, ball sale and you know, we've.

327
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 5: Had a chance to make it. Like the first game we.

328
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 13: Played these guys, we had the ball in our hands

329
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 13: I think four times in that game and we came

330
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 13: down with zero of the and we still won the game,

331
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 13: but we came down with none. And our guys are

332
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 13: trying really hard. But obviously turnovers are the lifeblood of

333
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 13: your team offensively and defensively, and we certainly haven't done

334
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 13: enough of that this year. And that'll be a big

335
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 13: point of emphasis. It's always a point of emphasis, but

336
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 13: it'll be a big point of emphasis from person personnel

337
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 13: acquisition scheme and also technique.

338
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 11: That's your Miles one defense player of the Year this year,

339
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 11: he's tied through the league lead in sacks with the

340
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 11: same number he had last year. How'd you compare the

341
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 11: two seasons.

342
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:07,640
Speaker 4: That you had.

343
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean our team was better last year, but

344
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:13,879
Speaker 13: it's hard to say that Miles isn't better this year.

345
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 13: I mean, he's leading the NFL and sacks are tied.

346
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 13: He's leading the league and tackles for losses and you

347
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:23,359
Speaker 13: guys know, like with me, it's like, you know, hey,

348
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,360
Speaker 13: you sacked a guy for four yards, or you get

349
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 13: to tackle for a loss for four yards. As a coach,

350
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:33,160
Speaker 13: it's second and fourteen, right, you know, so I don't

351
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 13: look at those a lot different. But leading the league

352
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:39,359
Speaker 13: in both of those categories and sees more double teams

353
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 13: than anybody in the league. They don't just double them

354
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 13: on third down. And you know, I mean part of

355
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 13: having you know that as heavy as the head that

356
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 13: where's the crown? You know, they know he wears number

357
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,639
Speaker 13: ninety five. You see guys identify wherever he lines up.

358
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 13: We move them all over the place, but you know,

359
00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:00,679
Speaker 13: he's pretty easy to find, and he fights doubles not

360
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 13: just on third down, but first and second down also.

361
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:07,399
Speaker 13: And you know, I think I've said this before, but

362
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 13: it reminds me a lot of when I had Calvin

363
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:14,400
Speaker 13: Johnson twenty twelve in Detroit and Calvin set the all

364
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 13: time single season receiving record, and we had a bunch

365
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:24,639
Speaker 13: of injuries. We couldn't run the ball, you know, we'd

366
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 13: had some injuries at wide out.

367
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 5: You know, it didn't have enough other guys.

368
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:32,119
Speaker 13: He faced doubles every single time, never got one on ones,

369
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 13: and he was able to set the all time receiving record.

370
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 13: Still stands in my mind. Miles of season is a

371
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 13: little bit like that. We haven't had a chance to

372
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:45,360
Speaker 13: rush a lot. We haven't had a lead a lot

373
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:47,919
Speaker 13: of times, and a lot of times those sacks and

374
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:51,639
Speaker 13: turnovers in that regard come when you do have a

375
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,160
Speaker 13: lead and the offense has to be risky or they

376
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,199
Speaker 13: have to try to make a throw, or they have

377
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 13: to throw more than they want to. They get predictable,

378
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 13: and you know, it's just you know, where we where

379
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 13: we've been this year, we haven't had a lot of

380
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 13: those opportunities for Miles or other guys to be able

381
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 13: to rush so across his his metrics have been better

382
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:17,200
Speaker 13: or the same as last year when he won Player

383
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:20,479
Speaker 13: of the Year. It's just that the team hasn't, you know,

384
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:25,119
Speaker 13: been as successful around him. But I think that. You know, sometimes,

385
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 13: you know, when when you have a season like we've had,

386
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 13: you can lose individual accomplishment. He also did it with

387
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:35,159
Speaker 13: you know, had fighting some some injuries early in the

388
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:40,120
Speaker 13: season too, So he's he's been able to stay focused.

389
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 13: I mean, it's it's hard, like when you go out

390
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:47,440
Speaker 13: and you get doubled every single play, but he still

391
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:49,919
Speaker 13: battles and he's still found a way to be successful,

392
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,160
Speaker 13: still has a high win percentage, still has the pressures,

393
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 13: still has a really good pressure rate and sacks, and

394
00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 13: you know, I've been really proud of his effort this year.

395
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 12: Since junior.

396
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 10: What do you feel like the upside is for him

397
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 10: in terms of kind of balancing back from what seems

398
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 10: to be a little bit of a down season for him.

399
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:13,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, the biggest thing has just been finishing at the ball.

400
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 13: There's a lot of metrics that his coverage has been

401
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 13: just as tight this year as last year, but there's

402
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:21,159
Speaker 13: a little better finish at the ball. So that's got

403
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 13: to be a point of emphasis. I would say this

404
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:28,120
Speaker 13: about MJ is he has really really improved this year

405
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 13: as a tackler, particularly over the last few games, and

406
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 13: that was a big point of emphasis and he's a

407
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 13: tall guy that sometimes it's hard for those guys. It's

408
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,439
Speaker 13: you know, your high center of gravity, tall and long,

409
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,360
Speaker 13: it's hard in the open field. But I've been really impressed,

410
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 13: number one, with his commitment to doing it and working

411
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:51,639
Speaker 13: at it and also you know, putting it on putting

412
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 13: it on film the way that he has. And so

413
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 13: he's found a way to improve part of his game.

414
00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 5: And like I.

415
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:00,679
Speaker 13: Said, you know, some of it also is just you know,

416
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:04,479
Speaker 13: finishing at the ball, and you know, some of it

417
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 13: can also be you know a little bit what I

418
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 13: talked about before with offenses. Don't really feel the need

419
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:14,679
Speaker 13: to be you know, to attempt too many those just

420
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 13: from you know, the way the season has gone or

421
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 13: the way the scores and the games have been.

422
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 5: So all those things affect the corner.

423
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:25,160
Speaker 13: They affect your interceptions and your sacks and things like that.

424
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 5: You know. So but I have been proud.

425
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:31,680
Speaker 13: Of his commitment and his improvement and tackling game because

426
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 13: to be a complete corner you need to be able

427
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 13: to do those things.

428
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 14: And yeah, some of the things that Rodney mccoud brings

429
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 14: to the locker room, I know he's not alone in that.

430
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:43,159
Speaker 6: As a coach, how much have.

431
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:48,119
Speaker 12: You leaned on the players that are leading their respective

432
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 12: position groups through you know, the ups.

433
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 6: And downs of this season.

434
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:56,919
Speaker 13: Yeah, you know, you know, coaches have a role in

435
00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 13: your team. And you know, I've said this part of

436
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 13: my thing for years, and I think Rodney. I was

437
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 13: proud of when Rodney said the same thing because it's

438
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 13: something that I preached. But I've been around a lot

439
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 13: of really good teams that were coach led leadership. I've

440
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:15,160
Speaker 13: never been around a great team that wasn't player led leadership,

441
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 13: and Rodney just exemplifies that. But we've gotten we've gotten

442
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 13: some you know, really good leadership from some other guys too.

443
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:27,359
Speaker 13: You know, I'd point to Jordan Hicks that way, Dalvin Tomlinson,

444
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:30,880
Speaker 13: you know, those those player led leaders that have been

445
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:33,920
Speaker 13: around that have seen highs and lows in this league.

446
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 13: They know how to be resilient. You know, they've they've

447
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:40,640
Speaker 13: found a way to be productive in multiple schemes. Those

448
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 13: guys are incredible resources for young guys, and you know,

449
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 13: there are important members of important members, valuable members of

450
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 13: a franchise and valuable to their teammates.

451
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 11: He's a hard greater, but Jason or Jordan Hicks always

452
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 11: gets good grades from him.

453
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:01,920
Speaker 4: How well is Jordia played.

454
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 9: For this year?

455
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:05,199
Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean it's that's another one that's sort of

456
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,920
Speaker 13: falling in the way the wayside. You know, he's he's

457
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 13: just always in the right spot. The play that he

458
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 13: made on Snoop last week when he triggered on the

459
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 13: on the on the scramble, knocked the stiff arm down,

460
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:21,120
Speaker 13: you know, forced him to throw it away. That's that's

461
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 13: a that's another teach tape. Kind of played as exactly

462
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 13: the way you want it done. His angle, his technique, everything.

463
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:31,399
Speaker 13: He's had to play a couple of different positions just

464
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:33,399
Speaker 13: because of the injuries that we've had. You know, he

465
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 13: started off as as the full time mic, but then

466
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 13: when we lost Jeremiah, he sort of moved into Jeremiah's

467
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:44,160
Speaker 13: role a little bit more first and second down and

468
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:46,360
Speaker 13: you know, but still had to play the mic at

469
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:47,160
Speaker 13: different times.

470
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's he's been.

471
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:54,479
Speaker 13: He's certainly been, you know, a good player for us,

472
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 13: and we look forward to him doing.

473
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:56,880
Speaker 5: A lot more for us too.

474
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,159
Speaker 13: Came back next year, I'll leave that to Kevin and

475
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 13: Ab Like, it's never my thing to talk about who's

476
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 13: coming back. Or even to talk about injuries. So I'll

477
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:12,439
Speaker 13: just leave that there, Okay, all right, guys, Hey, Happy

478
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 13: New Year. Also, you know, I notice has been a

479
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 13: it has been a tough year for the Browns. It's

480
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 13: been a tough year for you guys and everything else.

481
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 13: And part of your job is, you know, you have

482
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 13: to be critical at times, and you have to ask

483
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 13: some tough questions. But you guys have always managed to

484
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 13: do that with respect and professionalism, and I really appreciate that.

485
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 13: I hope that I've done the same for you guys,

486
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:34,280
Speaker 13: So Happy New Year.

487
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:37,919
Speaker 1: Special teams coordinator Bubbavan Trone reflected on the first season

488
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 1: with the dynamic kickoff rule in the NFL.

489
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:42,639
Speaker 3: One a lot, you know, just giving the circumstances of

490
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:44,640
Speaker 3: the office this year. But I think he finished top

491
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:46,879
Speaker 3: ten in fan voting amongst the Punders.

492
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 6: Pretty get out of the season.

493
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:48,920
Speaker 9: I thought.

494
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:51,159
Speaker 15: I think Corey's had a good year. I think that

495
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 15: he's improved in a number of areas. I think his

496
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:58,679
Speaker 15: directional placement has definitely improved. I think he's shown that

497
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 15: he's had he's been able to have much better control

498
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 15: than he had last year in the plus fifty, So

499
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 15: he's done a good job with us being able to

500
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 15: create field position for our defense in those in those

501
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 15: types of situations.

502
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 12: A by product of obviously, it's a by product of

503
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 12: the work he's put in. Yeah, what else would I mean?

504
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:24,919
Speaker 12: Is it was there anything he specifically changed during the

505
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 12: off season coming into this season.

506
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 15: No, that was it was a big I would say

507
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 15: point of emphasis for us heading into last offseason, and

508
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 15: I felt like we missed on some opportunities last year

509
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 15: in those areas of the field.

510
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:40,640
Speaker 9: And I think that he did he did a good job.

511
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:43,719
Speaker 15: He really applied you know, himself and did a good

512
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:46,200
Speaker 15: job with the practice reps and we just I would say,

513
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:49,919
Speaker 15: we hit more more of those plus fifty balls throughout.

514
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 9: The spring training camp. Then obviously end of the.

515
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 6: Season he was on kick returns and it's like.

516
00:25:57,840 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 15: You have to watch the game on Saturday to say

517
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:01,879
Speaker 15: we have we have a lot of options.

518
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 7: Yep, you expected to not have either of those guys.

519
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:11,359
Speaker 9: We'll see, we'll see what happens.

520
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 8: Similarly, what do you make of you know, dustin season

521
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:18,680
Speaker 8: and do you just chalk it up to a tough

522
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 8: year and just you know, how do you think he

523
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,479
Speaker 8: has handled you know, the difficulty.

524
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 6: That he's had to deal with.

525
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,440
Speaker 15: Yeah, I think he's handled it, I would say in

526
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:32,439
Speaker 15: a professional manner. I think that he's doing everything he

527
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:35,920
Speaker 15: can to to get it right. Has hit the ball

528
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:39,479
Speaker 15: well the last few weeks, and obviously we had one

529
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 15: opportunity last week that he converted on which was good.

530
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:47,400
Speaker 15: But have a lot of confidence in him moving forward

531
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 15: on and being our kicker. So I think that obviously

532
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 15: it's been an inconsistent season for him.

533
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 6: With Mike Vrable leaving now, how valuable was.

534
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:00,359
Speaker 12: It to have him in the building a year.

535
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 15: We talked for a while the other day. I'm gonna

536
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 15: I'm gonna really miss him. I obviously he was like

537
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 15: a big brother to me as whenever I was a

538
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:12,160
Speaker 15: young player in New England and then obviously being able

539
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 15: to cross paths again here, it was it was great

540
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,639
Speaker 15: to have him around. I obviously have a ton of

541
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 15: respect for him. He's an incredible football mind. Whoever ends

542
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 15: up hiring that guy is getting an incredible person. Uh

543
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 15: former player in hell of a coach. So I love

544
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:33,160
Speaker 15: Mike and I'll miss him.

545
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 7: How you compare your special teams.

546
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 9: This year to last year?

547
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:44,680
Speaker 15: Over I would you know, every season. Every season is different,

548
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:48,639
Speaker 15: you know, the personnel you have is you know, different

549
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 15: in most seasons. This was a younger group than we

550
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 15: had last year. And obviously the new the new kickoff

551
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:58,679
Speaker 15: kickoff return play throws a completely different wrinkle into the

552
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 15: into the results you're gonna see, you know, And I

553
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 15: would say this overall, it wasn't up to my standard.

554
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:11,680
Speaker 15: The units that I've coached, we haven't played to the

555
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:15,440
Speaker 15: level that I that I expect our our our units.

556
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 9: To play out.

557
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:17,360
Speaker 15: So we got to do a better good job, better

558
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 15: job of coaching and executing.

559
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 4: You mentioned that could kickoff rule. Do you think it

560
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 4: sticks in what tweets could we see next year?

561
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 15: Yeah, I think it'll stick. I think it'll stick. I

562
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:29,679
Speaker 15: think it's brought some excitement. You know, there's definitely been

563
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 15: a higher return rate. I don't know exactly what the

564
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:33,639
Speaker 15: numbers are right off the top, but I think that

565
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 15: it'll stick.

566
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 9: I think that there will definitely be some.

567
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 15: Tweaks I could I could see potentially moving the touch

568
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 15: back even further up the field to the thirty five

569
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 15: that would that would generate more returns. And I could

570
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:46,959
Speaker 15: even see them potentially moving the ball back to the

571
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:50,200
Speaker 15: thirty yard line to eliminate the junk ball type kicks

572
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 15: because I think the play is definitely cleaner when the

573
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 15: ball is in the air and not on the ground,

574
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 15: And if you want to see returns, then you're not

575
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:01,959
Speaker 15: incentivizing putting the ball on the ground. I don't in

576
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 15: me personally, I don't like the role that I'll definitely

577
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 15: say this on the record, I do not like the

578
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 15: role of hit the ball, hitting the ground and rolling

579
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 15: through the end zone in a touchback going to the

580
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 15: twenty yard line. To me, that doesn't incentivize returns. That

581
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 15: incentivize is like you know, valuing a guy that can

582
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 15: play soccer. So to me, that's not if you want

583
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 15: to if you want returns, then you know, kick the

584
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 15: ball in the air and have the guys force the returns.

585
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 3: Of the kind of minute punting question when you do

586
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 3: have a situation where you're punting more kind of backed

587
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 3: up in your own territory and the end zone is

588
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 3: like intuitively that you would expect a lesser hang time

589
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 3: almost kicks just just because you're trying to like flip

590
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 3: the field or is it kind of like is that

591
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 3: a different situation.

592
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 9: Than I was like when you're trying to. Yeah, it

593
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 9: depends on it depends on.

594
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 15: The area of the field, how far backed up you are,

595
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 15: and it depends on the type of return that you're

596
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 15: going against. Also that that's gonna factor in the type

597
00:29:57,600 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 15: of ball that we're going to hit. Uh, there's a

598
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 15: there's there's often times where like if you're backed up

599
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 15: inside like your own five yard line, you're gonna have

600
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 15: to operate a little bit faster because there's not as

601
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 15: much you know, you typically align like fourteen and a

602
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 15: half to fifteen yards snapped to the punter. The ball

603
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 15: is on the two yard line, you don't have as

604
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 15: much space. You have to work faster, and you're probably

605
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 15: not gonna hit as good of a ball when you're

606
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:24,959
Speaker 15: backed up like that and having to operate that much faster.

607
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 8: So, I mean, across the board throughout the league, this

608
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 8: year just seemed like there were more blocked kick at

609
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 8: times when you guys obviously have the one that Delly

610
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 8: Just what do you think that is with.

611
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 6: That trend this year?

612
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 15: You know what, I'm not sure I would say that

613
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 15: there's definitely I think some of the schemes have been

614
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 15: you know, pretty pretty I would say executed execute it well.

615
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 15: Some teams have gotten away with some I would say

616
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 15: not dirty type play, but there's been some things where

617
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 15: you see teams like I don't know if you've seen

618
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 15: this on the field goal block, but teams are like

619
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 15: grabbing offensive lineman's arms and like pulling them out and

620
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 15: when you do that, it creates space in a gap.

621
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:10,600
Speaker 15: Sometimes the officials see it. A lot of times they don't.

622
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 15: And I know a number of teams have you know,

623
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 15: been able to come up with blocks as a result

624
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 15: of those players. And the New Orleans has done it,

625
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 15: uh And we warned the officials went before we played

626
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 15: them about that and a lot of other teams have

627
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 15: done it as well, so.

628
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 9: We have not done it.

629
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 10: Justin Tucker has gotten himself back on track and does

630
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 10: that maybe inform what could happen with with Dustin.

631
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 15: Yeah, I hit on that, I want to say last

632
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 15: week or maybe the week before that. You know, it's

633
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 15: to me, that's a that's a good thing for for

634
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 15: any kicker that has you know, has had some struggles,

635
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 15: is to see obviously he's the best in the game

636
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 15: in my opinion right now, Justin Justin Tucker as like

637
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 15: a kicker uh, and obviously have had a little bit

638
00:31:57,960 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 15: of a struggle mid season and then being able to

639
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 15: sell correct and apply it and make it and hit

640
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 15: the ball. Well, he's uh, he's one of the best

641
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 15: of all time. And yeah, I think that it's I

642
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 15: think it's a good thing.

643
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 12: To evaluate how Rex did coming in just taking over

644
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:17,760
Speaker 12: for Charlie and obviously him being around the team when

645
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 12: he was here in the off season.

646
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 10: But how did he do this year?

647
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 9: Yeah, I thought I thought he did a good job.

648
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 15: I think that it's in that in that position, it's

649
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 15: hard to come in mid season when you're you're not

650
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 15: getting as many as many reps. Obviously, we had Rex

651
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:33,240
Speaker 15: in training camp, so that was beneficial for us to

652
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 15: have gotten him reps back then. But being thrown into

653
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 15: the mix right away going against you know, some good

654
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 15: teams with good personnel.

655
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 9: I think he I think he's done a good job.

656
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:46,920
Speaker 4: This is not gotting redfull.

657
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 7: How come you guys never went back to Charlie Hewlett.

658
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 9: I mean, he's he's on it.

659
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 15: He's got an injury, so I mean he might be

660
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 15: feeling fine, but he might not be fun to play football.

661
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 9: You know, there's a there's a difference.

662
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 1: Quarterback Doriyan Thompson Robinson is our first player today and

663
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:09,480
Speaker 1: he spoke about the opportunity he's had with the Browns

664
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 1: this season.

665
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:17,600
Speaker 6: Against feel about that.

666
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 16: I feel grateful to have another opportunity. Feel very blessed. Uh,

667
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 16: like I said, just to be able to still get

668
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:28,240
Speaker 16: in this room, get to come to work every day

669
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 16: and put my best foot forward.

670
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 6: So you're gonna get it started.

671
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 4: Do not.

672
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 10: Try something, you know, put some good stuff on tap

673
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:40,720
Speaker 10: of this pass, but also not trying.

674
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:42,360
Speaker 6: To be too much to anything like that.

675
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 16: Yeah, I mean it's going in treating it like it's

676
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 16: last week the week before, you know, coming in, sticking

677
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:53,240
Speaker 16: to my process, Uh, sticking to the plan that the

678
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 16: coaches here have for me, and going out there and

679
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 16: trying to work every day.

680
00:33:56,440 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 6: Out of that practice, raving and you.

681
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 16: Yeah, it's gonna be a handful and all facets of

682
00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:14,360
Speaker 16: the game, uh, special teams, defense, offense.

683
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:14,879
Speaker 8: Wow.

684
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,480
Speaker 16: Uh, they're very familiar with us. We're familiar with them.

685
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 16: So uh it's it's gonna be a a tough battle,

686
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:20,439
Speaker 16: for sure.

687
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 4: You were obviously you gotta dejacked Sunday. How are you

688
00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 4: are your spirits bad?

689
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:29,440
Speaker 17: To what you want them to go out. Uh, I

690
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:31,400
Speaker 17: mean it's you. Of course, it's tough when you're losing

691
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 17: and then you're not playing well.

692
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 16: Uh. Also cause you know you coming with the same

693
00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 16: attitude every day. You know, you got a bunch of

694
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:41,279
Speaker 16: players in the day, got a bunch of extra routes

695
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:42,279
Speaker 16: in to day. Uh.

696
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:45,080
Speaker 17: And so my attitude.

697
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:51,840
Speaker 16: And my effort is never gonna change. So cha Yeah,

698
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:54,279
Speaker 16: felt like it did when I first jered it. It's

699
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:57,480
Speaker 16: not gonna go anywhere anytime soon playing this game. So

700
00:34:57,520 --> 00:34:58,840
Speaker 16: we'll deal with that in the off season.

701
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:03,400
Speaker 18: You the intentional ground is there as you kind of

702
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:06,000
Speaker 18: went back and looked at the play, was there something

703
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:09,160
Speaker 18: you kind of fun This is a common thing in

704
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:12,719
Speaker 18: terms of what you're doing on those plays or what correction.

705
00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:14,600
Speaker 5: You can make to alleviate that.

706
00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:16,439
Speaker 4: Just know the rule.

707
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 16: You know that if you're inside the pocket, you gotta

708
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:21,640
Speaker 16: throw it near a defender outside the pocket, just making

709
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:23,040
Speaker 16: sure it gets past line of scrimage.

710
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:25,480
Speaker 17: So again it falls on me. It's just got another rule.

711
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:27,520
Speaker 4: Thanks on the lines and.

712
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:29,759
Speaker 19: Being pressure that I know you said it felt like

713
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:32,640
Speaker 19: execution wise, what why is he doing what you need

714
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:32,880
Speaker 19: to do?

715
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:36,920
Speaker 8: But with those frustrations like just not the offense that

716
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 8: can flow in the same way.

717
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:39,239
Speaker 4: How do you how do you want to kind of

718
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:40,719
Speaker 4: stop with that and you know.

719
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 5: Hit through it, take you kind.

720
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 6: Of get yourself ready for the next game.

721
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:45,040
Speaker 16: Yeah, you don't have time to sit inside and when

722
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:46,400
Speaker 16: this is the last game of the year. So just

723
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:50,560
Speaker 16: coming in on today, came in on Monday, still sticking

724
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:54,239
Speaker 16: to extra meetings, extra film, extra routes on air, still

725
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 16: sticking to the same process that's gotten me to this

726
00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:59,080
Speaker 16: point in this offense and now trying to steer away

727
00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:01,360
Speaker 16: from that just because of some outcomes with.

728
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 4: Baltimore trying to play for the division title.

729
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 8: What do you expecting as far as that environment goes,

730
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:12,760
Speaker 8: and how much does the fact that you've played against

731
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 8: them help you as far as knowing what to expect

732
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:20,319
Speaker 8: from any known intensity level, what they're gonna throw that ship.

733
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:23,280
Speaker 16: Yeah, for sure, we know we're gonna get their best shot.

734
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 16: Obviously they're gonna get our best shot because of the

735
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 16: culture we've set here.

736
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 17: And so like I said before, it's gonna.

737
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:34,640
Speaker 16: Be a hard nosed battle, a tough fight, something that

738
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:37,799
Speaker 16: both sides of the ball are expecting. So in terms

739
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 16: of my experience and how that plays into it. Obviously,

740
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:42,799
Speaker 16: I'm gonna go back and watch over the games when

741
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 16: I played them because it's the same scheme, same coordinator.

742
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:49,360
Speaker 16: Uh So really just you know, taking that old experiences,

743
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:51,760
Speaker 16: adding the new talking to Jamis.

744
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:54,680
Speaker 17: From when he played, and putting all those in the

745
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:55,919
Speaker 17: one and making them work.

746
00:36:56,360 --> 00:37:01,600
Speaker 4: I know you said your relationship two years.

747
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:07,200
Speaker 8: Teams, I'll love with you for him, that would.

748
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:10,160
Speaker 19: Promise and season ends that way. I get a chanced

749
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 19: to play under these last couple of years.

750
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 16: Yeah, for sure, it hurts seeing any of our guys hurt.

751
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:18,279
Speaker 16: But obviously we said I have a close relationship with him,

752
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:20,359
Speaker 16: so uh and then I went through I R at

753
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:21,960
Speaker 16: the end of last year, so kind of going through

754
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:23,839
Speaker 16: that process, it's tough.

755
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 17: Uh but yeah, you know, I I know he'll bounce.

756
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:27,200
Speaker 4: Back from it.

757
00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 16: He's been through some injuries before coming out of college,

758
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:33,399
Speaker 16: so it's nothing new to him.

759
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:33,880
Speaker 9: Uh.

760
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:36,160
Speaker 16: You know, he just wish he could be out there

761
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:38,360
Speaker 16: with us. So I know we missed him as an

762
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:39,800
Speaker 16: offense and I miss him as a quarterback.

763
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:45,360
Speaker 10: So it's kind of tough to keep back you receivers

764
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:47,480
Speaker 10: fat side years I was practiced.

765
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:53,719
Speaker 16: Why, Yeah, like like I've been harping on, We're we're

766
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:54,920
Speaker 16: getting extra routes on air.

767
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:57,319
Speaker 17: We're trying to get this timing down and and chemistry down.

768
00:37:57,400 --> 00:37:57,520
Speaker 12: Now.

769
00:37:57,680 --> 00:37:59,920
Speaker 16: Bailey's getting read so we gotta get him up to speed,

770
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:03,880
Speaker 16: to guys to and really just trying to take advantage

771
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:04,239
Speaker 16: of this full.

772
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:07,439
Speaker 1: Last week, quarterback Bailey Zappi talked about his growth since

773
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:08,440
Speaker 1: signing with the Browns.

774
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:13,160
Speaker 8: Told Bailey, what would your role will be here to Saturday?

775
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:17,320
Speaker 20: No, sir, I have not been told on whether who's starting,

776
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:19,239
Speaker 20: who the two is, who three is, none of that.

777
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:22,640
Speaker 20: I'm sure Stefanski is still, you know, deciding who that is,

778
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 20: and he'll tell us whenever.

779
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:26,279
Speaker 6: Obviously he sees with Ben. I know this was an

780
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:27,240
Speaker 6: offensive he say.

781
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:28,759
Speaker 21: A little bit familiar already with coming in.

782
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think trying to hire Decade. How much would

783
00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:33,399
Speaker 6: come to do with you more from when he came

784
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:36,800
Speaker 6: into Yeah, I mean, obviously I'm more comfortable.

785
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:40,480
Speaker 20: There's some things that U Dorsey obviously brought in whenever

786
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 20: he came in here that I didn't have when Avara

787
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 20: was with AVP, some different verbiage stuff that had.

788
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:47,600
Speaker 6: To learn over the last few weeks. But uh, pretty

789
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:48,440
Speaker 6: much got all that down.

790
00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:51,000
Speaker 20: There's no anything really, anything that I could think of

791
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 20: that I don't know in this offense really, but Dorsey

792
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:56,840
Speaker 20: and Nash have done a real great job of, you know,

793
00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:59,560
Speaker 20: staying with me after practices, after meetings and just kind

794
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 20: of getting should work with me to kind of get

795
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 20: that stuff down pack.

796
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:08,920
Speaker 6: Splitting some time, m h.

797
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:15,000
Speaker 20: Knowing that you're going into this game with an opportunity

798
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:17,640
Speaker 20: to get Yeah, obviously it's a great opportunity.

799
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:20,120
Speaker 6: You know, personally, I kind of look at it like

800
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:21,319
Speaker 6: I'm on a one year deal here.

801
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:23,400
Speaker 20: I have no idea what the future holds for me,

802
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:25,920
Speaker 20: and it's a great opportunity for me to go out

803
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:27,520
Speaker 20: there play some football and get some film on the

804
00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:27,880
Speaker 20: you know.

805
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 6: For people to watch. Hopefully it's a good film. But

806
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:33,040
Speaker 6: you know, I'm excited for the opportunity.

807
00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:37,919
Speaker 8: Going into a game and not knowing what you're gonna

808
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:40,960
Speaker 8: be trying to prepare for a game, and you know,

809
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:42,319
Speaker 8: you don't really know.

810
00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:44,920
Speaker 4: How much you're gonna play.

811
00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:48,239
Speaker 6: I mean, I don't know if he's gonna get mad.

812
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:49,880
Speaker 20: But I mean I was in New England for two

813
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:56,520
Speaker 20: years and Bill kept everything secret, so sometimes I wouldn't

814
00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:58,680
Speaker 20: find out till like Thursday night Friday, Like, hey, you

815
00:39:58,840 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 20: just like you know you're playing in Sunday.

816
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:02,800
Speaker 6: Uh, So I'm used to it. I just prepare like

817
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:04,719
Speaker 6: I usually prepare whether I'm the three or the one.

818
00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:06,960
Speaker 6: And that's what he taught me whenever I was there.

819
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:07,840
Speaker 6: So I'm gonna keep doing that.

820
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:15,360
Speaker 8: In your tight here is preparing.

821
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:17,560
Speaker 4: The opportunity to things that you've been doing you all

822
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:19,239
Speaker 4: on the practice fields in the meeting rooms.

823
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:19,560
Speaker 8: Yeah.

824
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:22,080
Speaker 20: Obviously taking the scout reps versus the number one defense,

825
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:24,719
Speaker 20: I think that's a big thing. I'm going against uh

826
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:27,040
Speaker 20: deeft player of the Year, Miles Garrett.

827
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:30,239
Speaker 6: You know, Denzel Mja, you know the safeties we had,

828
00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:32,160
Speaker 6: linebackers we got. I'm going against those guys every day

829
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:35,279
Speaker 6: on the scout side. So you know, obviously the.

830
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:37,839
Speaker 20: Coaches have seen it, like what they've seen the last

831
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:38,279
Speaker 20: few weeks.

832
00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:39,680
Speaker 6: So it's excited for this opportunity.

833
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:42,480
Speaker 11: It's Kevin Georgia when he's gonna let you know, no, sir,

834
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:46,399
Speaker 11: how would you describe You get eight stars of those

835
00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:49,400
Speaker 11: carriers and you and then this year haven't played yet,

836
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:51,879
Speaker 11: so like how do you deal with that emotionally as.

837
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:54,279
Speaker 4: A player trying to keep yourself ready and trying to

838
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:54,960
Speaker 4: keep that next shot.

839
00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:57,719
Speaker 20: Yeah, I mean, obviously you don't want that to happen,

840
00:40:57,800 --> 00:41:00,759
Speaker 20: but you know, it's part of the NFL, and when

841
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:02,560
Speaker 20: opportunities like this present themselves, you just.

842
00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:06,040
Speaker 6: Gotta go out there and take advantage of them. You know,

843
00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:06,799
Speaker 6: those eight starts.

844
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:08,080
Speaker 20: There's a lot of things I did good, a lot

845
00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:11,080
Speaker 20: of things I did bad. So it really just uh,

846
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:13,320
Speaker 20: learning from those mistakes that I made and applying that

847
00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:15,160
Speaker 20: to this next opportunity that I have and just taking

848
00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:18,000
Speaker 20: advantage of its.

849
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:20,000
Speaker 5: Where are those kids?

850
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:24,400
Speaker 6: I mean, look, he's gonna win. I mean he's the

851
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:26,960
Speaker 6: greatest coach of all time. They there's no denying that.

852
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:32,480
Speaker 20: But besides, when the camera's on, he has a great personality.

853
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:35,359
Speaker 20: He has great humor. So I think he's gonna fit

854
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:38,759
Speaker 20: in just fine. But those guys, whoever goes there, he's

855
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:39,920
Speaker 20: gotta be ready to play some football.

856
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:42,399
Speaker 6: He's all about ball. So if you're all about ball,

857
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:43,040
Speaker 6: that's the place to be.

858
00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:44,880
Speaker 4: That's his recruiting pitch.

859
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:47,880
Speaker 5: For you for the future.

860
00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:51,000
Speaker 4: You, Matt, you'll know what's come to macaus. Where does

861
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:52,880
Speaker 4: that have certainly life for you?

862
00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:56,520
Speaker 6: I mean it's you know, kind of nerve racking because

863
00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 6: you don't know where you're gonna be at.

864
00:41:57,600 --> 00:42:01,040
Speaker 20: But I feel like, you know, some of the things

865
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:03,160
Speaker 20: that I've done and the games that I have played

866
00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:07,280
Speaker 20: is good enough to you know, continue my career further on. Obviously,

867
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:09,000
Speaker 20: I don't know where that's gonna be at, whether it's here,

868
00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:10,120
Speaker 20: whether it's wherever.

869
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:13,239
Speaker 6: I'm sure after this week I'll get my agent. We'll

870
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:15,440
Speaker 6: go from there. Obviously, I like to be here.

871
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:15,920
Speaker 5: I like you here.

872
00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:17,560
Speaker 6: I've made a lot of great relationships here.

873
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:21,040
Speaker 20: That doesn't happen then, obviously I wish everybody luck here,

874
00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:22,720
Speaker 20: But I'm excited.

875
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:25,680
Speaker 15: Jerry High.

876
00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:34,680
Speaker 8: It's not like you don't have a number two receivers

877
00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:38,280
Speaker 8: with the top guy and that's wherever.

878
00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:43,480
Speaker 20: Yeah, I mean, obviously Jerry's one of the best receivers

879
00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:43,919
Speaker 20: in that the league.

880
00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:47,080
Speaker 6: There's certain things that defenses are gonna.

881
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:49,800
Speaker 20: Try to do to stop him, and I think Dorsey

882
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:52,040
Speaker 20: and pr Stefanski are gonna have to You're gonna do

883
00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:54,000
Speaker 20: a good job of kind of moving him and kind

884
00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 20: of just creating opportunities for him to get the ball.

885
00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:59,160
Speaker 20: And obviously we have guys like Elijah Moore and you know,

886
00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:00,600
Speaker 20: Blake Whinehart the rest of the guys.

887
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:02,759
Speaker 6: Those guys are gonna step up. Obviously, Analyza has done a.

888
00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:04,960
Speaker 20: Great job this year too, so I'm excited for all

889
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:07,000
Speaker 20: those guys to get their opportunity as well, and hopefully

890
00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:07,839
Speaker 20: I can get them the ball.

891
00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:08,239
Speaker 17: And they can run.

892
00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:10,080
Speaker 4: It's been a huge job.

893
00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:20,040
Speaker 20: Yeah, I mean, I think the biggest thing that I've

894
00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:23,279
Speaker 20: learned over my three years is, you know, mentally, you.

895
00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:25,160
Speaker 6: Can't really go into a game thinking like, I don't.

896
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:26,200
Speaker 20: Want to turn the ball over, don't want to turn

897
00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:27,960
Speaker 20: the ball over, because the more you think about it,

898
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:29,160
Speaker 20: the more likely it's gonna happen.

899
00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:32,080
Speaker 6: So if it happens, it happens.

900
00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:33,640
Speaker 20: You just got to continue to move on and just

901
00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:35,879
Speaker 20: kind of learn from it and make sure it doesn't

902
00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:38,440
Speaker 20: happen again, and make sure it doesn't one doesn't turn

903
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:41,000
Speaker 20: into two and turn to two turns into three. Uh So,

904
00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:43,000
Speaker 20: really just think touchdowns when you're going in there, and

905
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:44,000
Speaker 20: hopefully that happens more.

906
00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:46,640
Speaker 1: Guard Joel Batonio came to the podium for the first

924
00:44:35,120 --> 00:44:37,920

Speaker 4: us to be in this position. You know, you come

926
00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:43,080
Speaker 4: out here and you're you know, you're playing for pride,

927
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:46,200
Speaker 4: you're playing for your own resume, your own you know worth,

928
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:51,439
Speaker 4: and and you know as a team, like it's tough

929
00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:53,680
Speaker 4: to be in this special situation. We've had so many

930
00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:55,880
Speaker 4: guys get banged up the last few weeks, and Dumble

931
00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:58,280
Speaker 4: feels like a new team out there in some senses,

932
00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:01,280
Speaker 4: but so I haven't had time to look at the macro,

933
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:03,960
Speaker 4: you know, purpose of everything. I've been really you know,

934
00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:06,000
Speaker 4: focused on on the week to week. But to me,

935
00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:09,120
Speaker 4: it's just been very frustrating the way this seasons has

936
00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:09,640
Speaker 4: turned out.

937
00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:13,440
Speaker 5: Joe, do you think there will, in fact your decision.

938
00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:16,279
Speaker 17: In any way defect that this season it's been so bad?

939
00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:21,440
Speaker 4: I mean I wish like whatever it is you think

940
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:23,640
Speaker 4: of like John Elway going out and win a super Bowl,

941
00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:26,640
Speaker 4: or even Andrew Whitworth, you know, like they got to

942
00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:28,160
Speaker 4: play in their last game, win a super Bowl and

943
00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:31,040
Speaker 4: right off of the sunset, like that'd be the ultimate dream,

944
00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:33,680
Speaker 4: you know. And I bet like it could have been

945
00:45:33,719 --> 00:45:35,320
Speaker 4: two years ago we won a super Bowl. I probably

946
00:45:35,320 --> 00:45:37,400
Speaker 4: have been like, all right, I'm going to go, you know.

947
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:40,840
Speaker 4: And and so it's the thing that you fight for.

948
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:43,880
Speaker 4: So it's all part of it. It's all part of

949
00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:47,600
Speaker 4: the process. You know, the season, your teammates like win

950
00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:50,799
Speaker 4: in losing, how you feel like all of that, all

951
00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:53,480
Speaker 4: of that goes into you know, every decision you make.

952
00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:56,000
Speaker 4: But you know, we'll see.

953
00:45:57,760 --> 00:46:00,480
Speaker 17: You frustrated press that.

954
00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:02,640
Speaker 7: That kind of adds to be Hey, I want to

955
00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:03,880
Speaker 7: wait and make.

956
00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:04,879
Speaker 6: A decision and make sure.

957
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:08,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's hard. You never want to make a decision

958
00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:09,840
Speaker 4: like in the moment.

959
00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:10,560
Speaker 9: You know.

960
00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:12,560
Speaker 4: There's some games where you wake up Monday morning and

961
00:46:12,640 --> 00:46:15,759
Speaker 4: I'm like, crap, like why am I doing this? You know,

962
00:46:15,960 --> 00:46:19,000
Speaker 4: like like you lost, you feel terrible, your body hurts,

963
00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:23,080
Speaker 4: you know. And then there's other times where it's like

964
00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:25,080
Speaker 4: you play a game and you're like you can still

965
00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:26,960
Speaker 4: play at a high level, you know, and and you know,

966
00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:28,920
Speaker 4: I want to see what our team can do in

967
00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:32,239
Speaker 4: the future. So yeah, that's why you want to take

968
00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:36,239
Speaker 4: a take a chance, take a breath, see where you're at,

969
00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:38,560
Speaker 4: you know, talk to people and and really get an

970
00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:41,239
Speaker 4: understanding of, you know, what the future looks like.

971
00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:44,759
Speaker 8: How do you feel her to sign so much with

972
00:46:44,960 --> 00:46:48,040
Speaker 8: this franchise in your a lot of years, the good

973
00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:52,880
Speaker 8: and the bad. Will you share your thoughts with the

974
00:46:53,080 --> 00:46:58,319
Speaker 8: organization privately about just what you feel that the state

975
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:01,760
Speaker 8: of it and the team is, maybe what's missing, what's

976
00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:05,440
Speaker 8: needed for it to get where everyone would like it

977
00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:05,719
Speaker 8: to be.

978
00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:10,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, all, uh, I'm sure on Sunday or Monday, whenever

979
00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:11,800
Speaker 4: we decided to do them, we'll have the exit interviews

980
00:47:11,800 --> 00:47:14,759
Speaker 4: and I'll have my meeting with coach Tofanski, with Andrew Barry,

981
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:17,919
Speaker 4: with Jimmy and j W and D if she wants

982
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:21,200
Speaker 4: to be there, so I'll have my chance to let

983
00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:23,480
Speaker 4: him know what I think is going on. And you know,

984
00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:26,560
Speaker 4: they're very they actually listen very well. They ask guys.

985
00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:29,160
Speaker 4: They want to know, you know, there the thought process

986
00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:31,480
Speaker 4: and stuff like that. So it'll be ah, it'll be

987
00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:33,440
Speaker 4: you know, kind of the normal exit interview.

988
00:47:33,680 --> 00:47:36,600
Speaker 6: How do you feel how I compared to a year ago.

989
00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:41,200
Speaker 4: There's some you know, I feel beat up. I feel

990
00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:42,279
Speaker 4: like at this point in the season, I get like

991
00:47:43,040 --> 00:47:45,680
Speaker 4: numb to what I feel like like in the early years,

992
00:47:45,719 --> 00:47:48,359
Speaker 4: Like I mean early weeks of the season, like it's

993
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:50,480
Speaker 4: like new bumps and bruises, and by this point it's

994
00:47:50,520 --> 00:47:53,640
Speaker 4: like everything kind of just is numb. Last year, I

995
00:47:53,680 --> 00:47:56,520
Speaker 4: had to back towards the end and it o bleak

996
00:47:57,440 --> 00:47:59,719
Speaker 4: and I was like real messed up. But we had

997
00:47:59,719 --> 00:48:01,480
Speaker 4: that week off before the playoffs. I kind of got

998
00:48:01,760 --> 00:48:03,919
Speaker 4: kind of got back. I don't have as extreme things

999
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:05,840
Speaker 4: going on, but you know, the knees and ankles and

1000
00:48:06,360 --> 00:48:09,200
Speaker 4: and shoulders and the elbows, all the joints of the

1001
00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:11,719
Speaker 4: body are are a little bit banged up, but I'm playing.

1002
00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:14,719
Speaker 4: I'm doing fine, you know. I I've you know, made

1003
00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:19,040
Speaker 4: it through fingers something yeah and a finger Yeah. It

1004
00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:21,799
Speaker 4: all just you're a lot well.

1005
00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:22,080
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1006
00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:25,920
Speaker 4: I after that Texans playoff game, I was messed. I

1007
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:29,000
Speaker 4: had a pretty bad high ankle sprain toward my ucl

1008
00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:30,960
Speaker 4: on my elbow all in that game, and I just

1009
00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:35,040
Speaker 4: like I tried to finish the game. But I was

1010
00:48:35,080 --> 00:48:36,960
Speaker 4: like an eight weeks of like off season where I

1011
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:39,239
Speaker 4: was like, oh my god, like I shouldn't have played

1012
00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:41,200
Speaker 4: on my ankle, but you know, it was the last game,

1013
00:48:41,239 --> 00:48:42,319
Speaker 4: so we were trying to go out there and.

1014
00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:47,720
Speaker 6: Really well.

1015
00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:55,200
Speaker 10: Much still playing.

1016
00:48:57,080 --> 00:49:00,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's for sure part of it because you know,

1017
00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:02,400
Speaker 4: you go out there and you play a game and uh,

1018
00:49:03,120 --> 00:49:04,640
Speaker 4: you know you're like, hey, I you know I played

1019
00:49:04,680 --> 00:49:06,839
Speaker 4: pretty well or you know, the coaches think I played well.

1020
00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:09,200
Speaker 4: So if you can do at a high level, you

1021
00:49:09,239 --> 00:49:10,879
Speaker 4: want to keep doing it. It's just like the trade

1022
00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:13,800
Speaker 4: off with how does your body feel? What are you

1023
00:49:14,520 --> 00:49:16,640
Speaker 4: doing it for? At this point? Like you know, there

1024
00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:20,920
Speaker 4: there's so much that goes into it. It's just it's

1025
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:23,560
Speaker 4: all one big question mark, you know, so all that

1026
00:49:23,680 --> 00:49:25,960
Speaker 4: plays into it how's close are you think you guys

1027
00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:31,319
Speaker 4: desire to be and good and do well. I think,

1028
00:49:31,600 --> 00:49:33,640
Speaker 4: you know, obviously an injuries this year, but I think

1029
00:49:33,719 --> 00:49:35,879
Speaker 4: that the rosters are similar, you know. I know they're

1030
00:49:35,880 --> 00:49:38,320
Speaker 4: gonna have to rebuild some aspects of the roster, but

1031
00:49:38,680 --> 00:49:40,680
Speaker 4: I don't think it's far. I think coach Fantasy is

1032
00:49:40,680 --> 00:49:42,480
Speaker 4: a good coach, you know. I think we're gonna have

1033
00:49:43,080 --> 00:49:46,840
Speaker 4: a good system in place. It comes down to executing,

1034
00:49:46,880 --> 00:49:48,200
Speaker 4: It comes down to doing your one of levels. But

1035
00:49:48,239 --> 00:49:51,120
Speaker 4: I don't think we're you know, that far off from

1036
00:49:51,160 --> 00:49:52,320
Speaker 4: being a contender.

1037
00:49:53,080 --> 00:49:55,479
Speaker 11: Joe made you already know, but how much would another

1038
00:49:55,560 --> 00:49:57,719
Speaker 11: homo at this age Burder meeting.

1039
00:49:57,760 --> 00:50:03,359
Speaker 4: It's always important, you know, it's I know it's it's

1040
00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:05,600
Speaker 4: one of the ways alignment can get recognized, you know,

1041
00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:09,840
Speaker 4: like we're you know, it's such a tough position because

1042
00:50:10,120 --> 00:50:12,279
Speaker 4: even if you're a receiver or quarterback and you plan

1043
00:50:12,400 --> 00:50:14,680
Speaker 4: a three and thirteen team, you can put up, you know,

1044
00:50:14,719 --> 00:50:17,520
Speaker 4: a thousand yards and you can catch eighty five passes

1045
00:50:17,600 --> 00:50:19,960
Speaker 4: and as an alignment, when the run game's not working

1046
00:50:20,040 --> 00:50:23,719
Speaker 4: and the quarterbacks can sack, you know, it's it's it's

1047
00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:26,800
Speaker 4: usually the line's fault and so it's part of it,

1048
00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:28,640
Speaker 4: you know what I mean, I know it's part of it.

1049
00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:30,360
Speaker 4: But I know we're at as a team too, So

1050
00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:33,320
Speaker 4: we'll we'll see, you know, we'll we'll see how that

1051
00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:35,160
Speaker 4: that goes. But it would mean a lot if I could,

1052
00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:36,120
Speaker 4: you know, get number seven.

1053
00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:39,680
Speaker 2: When you talk about being frustrated, is this more frustrating

1054
00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:41,200
Speaker 2: than maybe some of the tough years you.

1055
00:50:41,239 --> 00:50:46,239
Speaker 4: Can Yeah, to me, I think the expectations this year

1056
00:50:46,560 --> 00:50:48,520
Speaker 4: and then where we ended up have made it the

1057
00:50:48,560 --> 00:50:51,120
Speaker 4: most frustrating. You know, early in my career, I didn't

1058
00:50:51,120 --> 00:50:52,879
Speaker 4: really know any better, you know, my first couple of years,

1059
00:50:52,880 --> 00:50:55,400
Speaker 4: and then when we were in the real rebuild, like

1060
00:50:55,520 --> 00:50:57,680
Speaker 4: we're such a young team that it wasn't even like

1061
00:50:59,200 --> 00:51:01,520
Speaker 4: there wasn't expectation to you know, make the playoffs or

1062
00:51:01,560 --> 00:51:03,480
Speaker 4: do anything like that. We we thought we could. We

1063
00:51:03,600 --> 00:51:05,319
Speaker 4: are so young, you know, you don't know any better.

1064
00:51:05,760 --> 00:51:07,839
Speaker 4: But I think with what the expectations were this year,

1065
00:51:08,080 --> 00:51:11,000
Speaker 4: it's it's probably been the most frustrating, you know, results wise,

1066
00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:13,640
Speaker 4: We've talked about miles and times, but we voted him

1067
00:51:13,640 --> 00:51:17,279
Speaker 4: to Player of the Year that Jo Year award in

1068
00:51:17,360 --> 00:51:19,560
Speaker 4: the gym, and everybody talks about how much attention, he recheas.

1069
00:51:19,800 --> 00:51:23,120
Speaker 17: Is there anybody you guys play that you black like other.

1070
00:51:23,040 --> 00:51:31,239
Speaker 4: Teams of black players. I don't think so, you know.

1071
00:51:31,320 --> 00:51:33,960
Speaker 4: I think in our defense is a four down front,

1072
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:36,120
Speaker 4: which allows a little bit more flexible. I mean they'll

1073
00:51:36,160 --> 00:51:38,080
Speaker 4: run some jam fronts, they'll run some five man fronts.

1074
00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:40,200
Speaker 4: But like TJ. Wall, we put a lot of atension

1075
00:51:40,200 --> 00:51:43,720
Speaker 4: on this year with chips. But when they have another

1076
00:51:43,840 --> 00:51:47,200
Speaker 4: rush rushing outside almost on Jack, it's hard to really

1077
00:51:47,280 --> 00:51:49,279
Speaker 4: slide his way, you know, so you can chip him

1078
00:51:49,520 --> 00:51:51,080
Speaker 4: where Miles you know you used to last week he

1079
00:51:51,120 --> 00:51:53,800
Speaker 4: split a slide, he gets chipped. There's a lot of attention.

1080
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:56,800
Speaker 4: Like Micah Parsons, we had a pretty big plan for

1081
00:51:57,040 --> 00:51:58,920
Speaker 4: but again he kind of lines up everywhere and they

1082
00:51:58,960 --> 00:52:00,960
Speaker 4: kind of force you to block in one on one

1083
00:52:01,040 --> 00:52:04,120
Speaker 4: at some times, where I think Miles at all times.

1084
00:52:04,200 --> 00:52:06,920
Speaker 4: And if you watch, like I think the screens, how

1085
00:52:07,040 --> 00:52:08,840
Speaker 4: quick guys get rid of ball, Like Joe burroways so

1086
00:52:08,920 --> 00:52:10,720
Speaker 4: as well quick. But I think when we play different teams,

1087
00:52:11,160 --> 00:52:12,640
Speaker 4: it's like we were playing the Raiders, and I think

1088
00:52:12,680 --> 00:52:14,239
Speaker 4: Miles is getting there every time and the ball was

1089
00:52:14,280 --> 00:52:15,759
Speaker 4: just out of the hands, you know. So like I

1090
00:52:15,840 --> 00:52:19,640
Speaker 4: think the way people's scheme. He's definitely definitely one of

1091
00:52:19,680 --> 00:52:22,240
Speaker 4: the kind We talked about.

1092
00:52:22,040 --> 00:52:23,719
Speaker 6: Kim being a good coach, and I think one of

1093
00:52:23,719 --> 00:52:26,719
Speaker 6: the most mingle things this nine years has been the

1094
00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:28,640
Speaker 6: scene that you guys talk about creatures.

1095
00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:32,480
Speaker 8: Obviously three and thirteen at this point, the worst season,

1096
00:52:32,719 --> 00:52:33,600
Speaker 8: first games of season.

1097
00:52:33,680 --> 00:52:36,400
Speaker 21: Then how much is that culture.

1098
00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:38,800
Speaker 19: Still sort of felled from within the team work in

1099
00:52:38,840 --> 00:52:41,799
Speaker 19: the hock or like that's not waiver those even though

1100
00:52:41,840 --> 00:52:43,080
Speaker 19: this season hasn't gone way.

1101
00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:46,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's very hard when you're losing a lot of games,

1102
00:52:46,520 --> 00:52:49,600
Speaker 4: you know, but I think the standard of what he's

1103
00:52:49,680 --> 00:52:52,759
Speaker 4: created is still there, you know, and losing is unacceptable.

1104
00:52:52,760 --> 00:52:54,919
Speaker 4: And he's talked about that, like we can't get into

1105
00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:57,640
Speaker 4: this being the everyday norm. You know, this is not

1106
00:52:57,800 --> 00:53:01,319
Speaker 4: what we want it to be. But when you're preaching something,

1107
00:53:01,400 --> 00:53:03,040
Speaker 4: you go three and thirteen, like, it's obviously gonna be

1108
00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:05,040
Speaker 4: hard to keep that going. But I think the locker

1109
00:53:05,080 --> 00:53:06,600
Speaker 4: room has faith and coach the fancy Like I don't

1110
00:53:06,600 --> 00:53:08,759
Speaker 4: think anybody's like, oh man, like food have done this

1111
00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:11,800
Speaker 4: a little different with coach, like we understand his message

1112
00:53:11,840 --> 00:53:13,600
Speaker 4: and and uh, I think more than anything, we want

1113
00:53:13,640 --> 00:53:16,000
Speaker 4: to live up to it for him. So I think

1114
00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:16,879
Speaker 4: the culture is still there.

1115
00:53:18,320 --> 00:53:19,040
Speaker 7: If when you.

1116
00:53:19,080 --> 00:53:19,800
Speaker 10: Sit down.

1117
00:53:21,880 --> 00:53:22,160
Speaker 16: And you.

1118
00:53:25,440 --> 00:53:27,799
Speaker 19: Like, you need to be a part of this team.

1119
00:53:27,960 --> 00:53:29,920
Speaker 6: Really the year.

1120
00:53:31,440 --> 00:53:33,920
Speaker 4: It helps, I'll be part of it.

1121
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:34,160
Speaker 8: You know.

1122
00:53:34,360 --> 00:53:38,480
Speaker 4: It's it's all part of it. And you know, whatever

1123
00:53:38,520 --> 00:53:40,719
Speaker 4: the decisions made, I'm sure Dan and his crew will

1124
00:53:40,760 --> 00:53:43,960
Speaker 4: let you guys know what's what's going on, you know,

1125
00:53:44,719 --> 00:53:46,200
Speaker 4: or we show up to mini camp and I'm showed

1126
00:53:46,280 --> 00:53:49,120
Speaker 4: up that to uh you know, but no, it's all

1127
00:53:49,160 --> 00:53:50,960
Speaker 4: part of it. Like you, you want to hear the plans,

1128
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:52,680
Speaker 4: you want to hear what's going on. You want to

1129
00:53:52,719 --> 00:53:55,480
Speaker 4: know how you feel. So it's all just part of

1130
00:53:55,560 --> 00:53:58,120
Speaker 4: the big question. Not don't even crowd dream trying.

1131
00:53:58,520 --> 00:54:01,160
Speaker 6: How much would you miss He talked about missing a lot.

1132
00:54:02,520 --> 00:54:04,080
Speaker 5: How well would that be like for you?

1133
00:54:05,920 --> 00:54:07,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's I mean, it's one of the best

1134
00:54:07,480 --> 00:54:09,400
Speaker 4: parts of the game. It's just the guys you're around,

1135
00:54:09,960 --> 00:54:12,040
Speaker 4: the work you put in, the blood, sledding peers that

1136
00:54:12,160 --> 00:54:14,759
Speaker 4: you you go through with these guys to try and

1137
00:54:14,920 --> 00:54:17,400
Speaker 4: you know, find ways to win. But the football lockerroom

1138
00:54:17,400 --> 00:54:19,040
Speaker 4: is such a cool place. There's so many different cultures.

1139
00:54:19,080 --> 00:54:21,400
Speaker 4: You come from different backgrounds and you all are on

1140
00:54:21,520 --> 00:54:23,960
Speaker 4: one team to try and achieve one goal. So it's

1141
00:54:24,040 --> 00:54:26,600
Speaker 4: it's a special place in that. That's definitely you know

1142
00:54:26,719 --> 00:54:28,279
Speaker 4: the thing that you like, Oh where do you get that?

1143
00:54:29,320 --> 00:54:30,680
Speaker 4: You know? The rest of your life?

1144
00:54:30,719 --> 00:54:30,959
Speaker 5: Really.

1145
00:54:31,239 --> 00:54:33,960
Speaker 1: Quarterback Denzel Ward is up next, and he was recently

1146
00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:36,080
Speaker 1: selected to his fourth career Pro Bowl.

1147
00:54:36,560 --> 00:54:36,960
Speaker 16: I like that.

1148
00:54:37,520 --> 00:54:38,520
Speaker 17: I like that hoodie.

1149
00:54:38,600 --> 00:54:41,359
Speaker 6: Man, let's go. That's a great hoodie for the day.

1150
00:54:42,360 --> 00:54:47,000
Speaker 21: Okay, I like you gotta put it over the Jacks.

1151
00:54:50,239 --> 00:54:52,080
Speaker 17: So give us a prediction on that score.

1152
00:54:52,800 --> 00:54:55,000
Speaker 21: Honestly, it's gonna be a close one. I think it's

1153
00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:58,640
Speaker 21: gonna be a close one. I got my buck eyes

1154
00:55:00,080 --> 00:55:03,600
Speaker 21: thirty four twenty eight thirty.

1155
00:55:05,400 --> 00:55:06,280
Speaker 4: Your shoulder.

1156
00:55:06,800 --> 00:55:08,240
Speaker 8: Second, we didn't.

1157
00:55:09,520 --> 00:55:11,200
Speaker 21: Exactly, Yeah, I think I think it was a little

1158
00:55:11,239 --> 00:55:15,279
Speaker 21: friendly fired. Me and Jordan uh collided. I really haven't

1159
00:55:15,280 --> 00:55:18,120
Speaker 21: even watched the playback, but yeah, he just he got

1160
00:55:18,160 --> 00:55:20,480
Speaker 21: a hard head, so he just caught my caught my shoulder,

1161
00:55:20,520 --> 00:55:21,359
Speaker 21: and I caught his head.

1162
00:55:21,840 --> 00:55:23,440
Speaker 6: So he got the worst part of it.

1163
00:55:23,600 --> 00:55:25,560
Speaker 21: I think he ended up getting concussion from it though,

1164
00:55:25,680 --> 00:55:31,640
Speaker 21: So hope he's spelling all right though. That's That's what

1165
00:55:31,719 --> 00:55:33,879
Speaker 21: I'm pushing for it. I'm pushing forward. That's the plan

1166
00:55:34,160 --> 00:55:36,359
Speaker 21: Lord willing, but uh, we we'll see.

1167
00:55:36,719 --> 00:55:39,000
Speaker 17: We'll see. Uh what comes come give dough?

1168
00:55:40,200 --> 00:55:42,480
Speaker 4: Does it matter so much to get out there?

1169
00:55:43,680 --> 00:55:45,719
Speaker 21: I just I just love playing against football. I love

1170
00:55:45,760 --> 00:55:48,040
Speaker 21: playing with my teammates and my my coaches. You know,

1171
00:55:48,120 --> 00:55:50,600
Speaker 21: we never usually never go had the same team and

1172
00:55:51,239 --> 00:55:52,360
Speaker 21: just take a lot of pride and just.

1173
00:55:53,880 --> 00:55:54,759
Speaker 6: The work that we put in.

1174
00:55:54,920 --> 00:55:57,120
Speaker 21: I know we didn't accomplish all the goals that we

1175
00:55:57,200 --> 00:56:01,000
Speaker 21: wanted to accomplish and everything, but it's still still been

1176
00:56:01,040 --> 00:56:03,239
Speaker 21: fun playing with these guys. And I said, I just

1177
00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:06,960
Speaker 21: love enjoy playing the game, and another opportunity to play

1178
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:09,479
Speaker 21: the game that we dreamed of as a kid would

1179
00:56:09,480 --> 00:56:09,839
Speaker 21: be great.

1180
00:56:10,320 --> 00:56:14,480
Speaker 8: That's a more fun frustrated to play against the marchers.

1181
00:56:16,480 --> 00:56:17,600
Speaker 6: I think it's a little bit of both.

1182
00:56:17,640 --> 00:56:20,600
Speaker 21: It's definitely fun, but he's a great player, so he

1183
00:56:20,680 --> 00:56:24,120
Speaker 21: could get frustrated at times just him being able to

1184
00:56:24,280 --> 00:56:26,759
Speaker 21: scramble around there and then you covering guys. I know

1185
00:56:26,760 --> 00:56:29,080
Speaker 21: the last time he played and I was covering flowers

1186
00:56:29,120 --> 00:56:31,600
Speaker 21: for I felt a whole quarter just he was just

1187
00:56:31,719 --> 00:56:35,120
Speaker 21: running around and then he was just quarterbacks back there,

1188
00:56:35,200 --> 00:56:38,319
Speaker 21: just scrambling around, able to throw it deep. But yeah,

1189
00:56:38,360 --> 00:56:40,440
Speaker 21: it's tough but it's fun though, just going against that

1190
00:56:40,840 --> 00:56:41,840
Speaker 21: high level competition.

1191
00:56:41,960 --> 00:56:42,920
Speaker 17: He's been having a great year.

1192
00:56:43,520 --> 00:56:44,440
