1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: Normal Wednesday. Uh, get ready to play Jacksonville and need

2
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:07,280
Speaker 1: a good practice today, So go out there and try

3
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:11,760
Speaker 1: to have a good day. These are both really young

4
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 1: teams with for you, the biggest challenge when you're dealing

5
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:18,799
Speaker 1: with such a young team. I don't think of it

6
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:20,959
Speaker 1: like that, you know. I think they're well coached. I

7
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:22,960
Speaker 1: think coach Peterson has done a great job of going

8
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 1: down there. You can they're playing really hard. They've got

9
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 1: good players. Um, you know, there's a each week, there's

10
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,480
Speaker 1: a different way to play a game. Um. That's where

11
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 1: our focuses of trying to put together a good plan

12
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 1: going on having a good practice more like dealing with

13
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 1: the young player. Like for you, is it getting them ready?

14
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:42,240
Speaker 1: Is it getting them you know? You know their knowledge

15
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 1: based up is at the speed. It really starts from

16
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 1: o TI as you know, particularly with rookies. You know,

17
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 1: you just you teach them how we want to do

18
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 1: things here, um, not just inside the building, outside the building,

19
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 1: and then you constantly build on what you teach them

20
00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 1: from the day before. Um. You know, they get experienced

21
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: as they go. And a guy like Bellinger and I

22
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 1: think he's improved, you know since he's been here, he's

23
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 1: been available, he's worked hard, he's done a good job

24
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 1: inside and outside the building. Um, But you also look

25
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 1: when you're evaluating players too. You look at skill set,

26
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 1: but you look at intangibles as well to make sure

27
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 1: that they fit you know, what you want to try

28
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:27,320
Speaker 1: to build. You need to look closely at Trevor Lawrence. Okay,

29
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: I know you didn't need to look closely at Trevor

30
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: Lawrence coming out probably weren't going to be what from

31
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,680
Speaker 1: what you know of him from last year. Time he's

32
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 1: developed this year. What do you see you? I know

33
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: Trevor I recruited him to just the same year Justin

34
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 1: came out in Cartersville, Georgia. Tremendous high school football player.

35
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 1: I mean, you go down there and watch your practice

36
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: and you could play Sundays when he's down there. In

37
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: high school, he was really really talented and he's really

38
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: talented now. I think he's doing a great job. And

39
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: coach Peterson's offense, he's you know, big, he can throw

40
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: it accurately, can move. They run him on some quarterback

41
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 1: you know, not just keepers, but also a quarterback design

42
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: runs too, so athletic smart. Um, he's a he's a

43
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: really good person too. Um, he's gonna be a good

44
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,799
Speaker 1: player in this league for a long time. About I'm sorry,

45
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: got back in the in the summer. I think you

46
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: and Joe talked about it would take a few weeks

47
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 1: for this team's identity to crystallize. We're about six weeks

48
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: in now to the season. Has this team's identity crystallize?

49
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 1: And do you write the identity this coming? I just

50
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 1: say we worked hard, you know, we try to do

51
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 1: what we need to do each week, put the time,

52
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 1: effort and energy into the to our preparation, to our process,

53
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 1: and then go out there and leaving on the field

54
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 1: on Sunday, ampty the take so to speak, um, and

55
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: then come in and do it again the next week.

56
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: Don't get too far ahead of yourself. Don't really concentrate

57
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,399
Speaker 1: on things that have happened in the past. Focus on

58
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: you know, turn the next page and focus on that page.

59
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 1: How have you felt about the way you're offense? I

60
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 1: know you don't care about outside braids and anything like that,

61
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: but it doesn't get great great creates from places like

62
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 1: But how have you felt about the way your offensive

63
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: line has performed so far in the series? I think

64
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: they're like all the other spots. I think they've improved

65
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: each week. UM, close group. I think they're tough, they're smart,

66
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 1: and they've gotten better since they've been here. Do you

67
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,959
Speaker 1: think they're better rum walkers and pass barkers. Well, they're

68
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: required to do both, so I got confidence in in

69
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 1: both areas of those they have high price, I mean

70
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: high draft. UM. You know obviously in their edge rushers.

71
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: You know they got really high. Do you first of all,

72
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: what do you think of those two guys? And do

73
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: you think that York tackles are young capable of You know,

74
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: you're in good shape there with with those two guys,

75
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 1: while they're really good. You know, Walker's the first pick

76
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: of the draft. UM. And Josh allen Is he's a

77
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 1: dynamic edge rusher. UM as a kN act for getting

78
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 1: to the quarterback in a ball disrupter, he can drop.

79
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 1: He's he's a really good player. He's done a good

80
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: job there for a while. And and Trayvon you know,

81
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 1: having you've seen him at Georgia, very stout on the

82
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 1: edge long he's a good player. You know we'll ever

83
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 1: work cut off for us. You have young tackles, you know,

84
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 1: wite as young, you think there it would be a

85
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 1: good matchup. You have his bounce back after that game

86
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: against the Cowboys where he's struggling a little bit. Really,

87
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 1: like any player, I mean, you're not gonna always have

88
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: your best game. Um, you're probably gonna wish you could

89
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 1: do things a little bit better. That's everybody, not just Evan.

90
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,039
Speaker 1: Come in, see what you can improve on, work hard

91
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: to improve, and get ready to play the next week.

92
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: Did you have the pre draft process with the way

93
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: that he handles, I mean a game like that can

94
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 1: break someone. I mean it seemed like he just took

95
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 1: it his stride and bounce back. I mean, as you know,

96
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: he was that kind of a person when you were Yeah,

97
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 1: you do a lot of work. You do a lot

98
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: of work. Again, like I've said before, you're gonna face

99
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,600
Speaker 1: a lot of adversity in this league. Whether you lose

100
00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: a game, you have a bad game, you have a

101
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,280
Speaker 1: bad play, have a bad call, and make a poor decision.

102
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: As a head coach, you're gonna have those things. That's

103
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: just that's the way this league works, Um, And our

104
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 1: whole objective is to focus on the next play or

105
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:12,479
Speaker 1: the next series. And you know that's what we've preached

106
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: since we've been here. Mentioned Bellinger and what ways have

107
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 1: you seen him to at the most since he's gotten here.

108
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: When you come out of college as a tight end, Um,

109
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: there's a lot there is for every position. But there's

110
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: a lot to learn. Um, how we run block, how

111
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 1: we pass block. I mean we've we've asked him to

112
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: do a lot of different things. Um, we put a

113
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 1: lot on his plate. I think he's picked it up

114
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 1: well and each each game he gains more experience. He's

115
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 1: you know, far from a finished product. Will be the

116
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 1: first to say that, but you know, not just a

117
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 1: single out Daniel. There's a lot of our rookies I

118
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 1: think are doing a good job right now of continuing

119
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:50,040
Speaker 1: to grow improve learning from their mistakes. And that's all

120
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: you can ask for. How this team handles success, We

121
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 1: talked about this being a young team. You have to

122
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: kind of guard against them and being overconfided or how

123
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 1: to handle success here so far, I'd say the biggest

124
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: thing for us is just to be consistent with how

125
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: we do things during the week. Um, whether it's after loss,

126
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 1: after win, after a close win, after a big loss.

127
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: It's such a week to week league, so our approach

128
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 1: from a coaching staff and really from an organization is

129
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 1: be as consistent as you can, regardless of result, if

130
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: you're doing the things you need to do during the week. UM,

131
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: and that's my job is to make sure we're trying

132
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 1: to do that along with the coaches, and that's really

133
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 1: where our focus is. Right you get here sometimes want

134
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 1: to harness it even and use it to your advantage

135
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 1: where you know it can. Sometimes you might play a

136
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 1: team that on paper might be a little more talented,

137
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: but if you guys have the confidence it can it

138
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,480
Speaker 1: can close the gap. I don't even think of it

139
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 1: in terms that. I just think, let's go out there

140
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:46,720
Speaker 1: and do what we need to do for that week.

141
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:50,159
Speaker 1: Let's put the work in before it happens, and let's

142
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 1: be ready to play on Sunday whenever that is, or

143
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 1: Monday or Thursday whenever that is. Um. Really, that's no,

144
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 1: it's not flashy, but that's what we've been eleven and

145
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,679
Speaker 1: you got here in January. Free agency wasn't until March.

146
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 1: So did you get to know through your face times

147
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 1: or at all or anything? Evan Ingram? What did you

148
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 1: think of him and what do you think of him

149
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 1: as a player. Yeah, I got a chance to meet Evan.

150
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: I think he's a talented player. He's got good speed,

151
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 1: he's got good quickness. He was a good young man.

152
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 1: It was just for a short time that that I

153
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 1: got a chance to talk to him. But um, that

154
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 1: was a good player. Up. It's how's Tony and Dolladay

155
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 1: the game? Oh? They well not practice today, said Tony

156
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: and Golladay. Right, yeah, they won't practice it get better,

157
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: Tony Quan's shoulder require any further m r E s

158
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 1: or tests after this game. Any concern about him handling

159
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 1: a full workload on it? Nope? Did Feliciano have any problems?

160
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 1: Is growing and he's talked about it after the game. Yeah,

161
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: he will be limited today. Nobody Andrew Thomas. Andrew Thomas

162
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: will will limit him today? Yeah, go ahead, you can

163
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 1: get it. Oh no, I was gonna ask you about

164
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 1: something else. Oh um, Nick Gates, you gotta I know

165
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 1: you got another week to go with him. Do you

166
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 1: what have you seen from him so far? Is he close?

167
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 1: Getting closer? Yeah? I think you said a good couple

168
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 1: of weeks of practice or week? When o? How many

169
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 1: times days has been out there? However long he's been

170
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 1: out there, he's done. I think he's made progress each

171
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,199
Speaker 1: and every day, Um, learning our system. You know, it's

172
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 1: different when you're practicing in the new system. You can

173
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 1: sit in the classroom all you want. But I think

174
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 1: he's made good progress. How about disease in zas will

175
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 1: be limited and Cordell will not practice to activating those

176
00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: guys or at least starting the clock on those guys.

177
00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 1: And how much is that based on where your roster

178
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 1: is or is strictly once the guy is healthy you

179
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 1: activate them. I'd say there's conversations that that take place. Um,

180
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 1: you know when the best time to do it? You

181
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 1: First of all, they've gotta be ready to go, and

182
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: then where are you roster wise with the players that

183
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 1: you have in your roster? Um, those those things all

184
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 1: play into it. Dad. Is there a path for landing

185
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: at all? Yeah? Well, we'll give him some more reps

186
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 1: this week. Um. Again, like I said, he just got here,

187
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 1: so we'll see how he is conditioningwise, We'll see how

188
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 1: he does with his picking up the defense. He's been great. UM,

189
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 1: I'm glad we have him. We'll just see where he's

190
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 1: at again. I think putting someone out there early or

191
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 1: when they're not ready. Whether that's and I'm not saying

192
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:49,559
Speaker 1: he is or he isn't, but I think that's you

193
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 1: just got to be fair to the player and make

194
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 1: sure that uh, they feel comfortable with where they're at.

195
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: You remain optimistic that can Darius could return and become

196
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 1: a part of what this team is doing this season.

197
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 1: I do is the injured reserve something you would consider

198
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 1: at disappointing now with him? No, yep, he's getting better.

199
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: He's doing a good job. Are you having and hopefully

200
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 1: we'll see him out here soon when you went you're back.

201
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 1: Looked over the film? What's wrong with them? Run? Well?

202
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 1: I mean not the the run defense. It's a tough scheme. Um,

203
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:30,320
Speaker 1: I think they do a great job four main things motion,

204
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 1: giving it different looks. Uh, you know, run defense takes

205
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 1: all eleven. So that's something that will work on this week.

206
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 1: Down offense seems to be getting a little better each week. Um,

207
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 1: why is that? But I think it's collective effort with

208
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 1: the coaching staff, with the designs, the calls, and then

209
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 1: you know, give the players credit. They're executing well. Um,

210
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 1: when players execute well, particularly in that situation, that's a

211
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 1: big boost to keep maintaining the drives, keep possession of

212
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 1: the ball. But I think the execution has been good.

213
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 1: That the biggest things early in the season just the

214
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 1: execution scheme, I think. I think it's a combination everything.

215
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 1: I think. Look, I've said this a lot of times,

216
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 1: is coming off of a win or a loss, there's

217
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 1: a lot of things we can get better at. That's

218
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 1: certainly one of the things that that we work hard

219
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: on doing. It's it's a hard down it's usually advantage defense,

220
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 1: you know, regardless of what the distance is that you need.

221
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 1: And we've gotta be all be dialed in, and it's

222
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 1: it's collective. It's coaching, it's playing, it's playing, it's everything,

223
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 1: just like most everything is
