1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,040 Speaker 1: Last tear, you guys were fourth in the NFL and 2 00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:05,960 Speaker 1: red area defense this year, there is quite a bit 3 00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:09,799 Speaker 1: a drastic falloff. And I'm wondering from your perspective what 4 00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:12,440 Speaker 1: you've seen in red area defense and how do you 5 00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:20,919 Speaker 1: go about improving that area, whether it's personnel or scheme related. Yeah, 6 00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:25,079 Speaker 1: but unfortunately that's yeah, that's true. It's an area we 7 00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:27,360 Speaker 1: need to we need to work harder in. Just need 8 00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:29,080 Speaker 1: to do a better job of coaching it and needed 9 00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:34,080 Speaker 1: a better job executing it. Um, and try to say 10 00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:36,600 Speaker 1: those points things and keep them off the board. So 11 00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:40,519 Speaker 1: just as always comes down to team defense, it's not 12 00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:44,880 Speaker 1: one thing, Um, that's all of us doing a better job. 13 00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:50,000 Speaker 1: And so start start with the coaching staff and me, 14 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:53,880 Speaker 1: and you've got to an area we need to tighten up. 15 00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:58,280 Speaker 1: And and if I could follow up, Bill, what what 16 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,600 Speaker 1: do you see as the characteristics of us good or 17 00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 1: a solid red area defense? Um? Yeah's some means really 18 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 1: everything stopping the rundown there, getting them in third down, 19 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 1: playing them well and third down, getting them off the 20 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:23,960 Speaker 1: field on on there and third down the red area. Right, 21 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 1: Thank you, you're welcome. The next question Jim McBride followed 22 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:34,760 Speaker 1: by Mike Reece. Our good morning, coach. The old the 23 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:36,360 Speaker 1: old saying is if you want to be playing your 24 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,920 Speaker 1: best football at Thanksgiving and to that end, is there 25 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,440 Speaker 1: an added benefit to having the bye week right before 26 00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:47,520 Speaker 1: Thanksgiving or this late in the season. Um? Well, I 27 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 1: thank everybody always appreciates the boy whenever it comes. UM. 28 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 1: So we can't control it. Whatever the schedule is, it is, um, 29 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 1: we would try to take this week to productively use 30 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 1: the time and work on the things that we need 31 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,640 Speaker 1: to work on and be ready for the challenges that 32 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:11,839 Speaker 1: we have comet off ahead. So hopefully we'll be able 33 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 1: to do a good job of that. Thank you, You're welcome. 34 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 1: Our next question, Mike Rerease call back field period. Thanks Stevey, 35 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:27,520 Speaker 1: m build. The last couple of games, Chris Hogan has 36 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 1: played quite a bit, hasn't seen the ball coming his 37 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:33,359 Speaker 1: way that often. I'm just curious if what stands out 38 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,079 Speaker 1: to you as to you know, maybe why the that 39 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 1: has been the case with Chris. Yeah, it's the same 40 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:51,679 Speaker 1: thing every week, Mike. So each week we pick out 41 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,919 Speaker 1: a player that doesn't have as many carries or targets 42 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 1: or whatever and then ask about that. As I said 43 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 1: in the passing game houses aren't designed to go to 44 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 1: one person. It's a team route based on the coverage 45 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 1: and the matchups. Tom goes to where he feels his 46 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,919 Speaker 1: best place to go in the coverage. That that that 47 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 1: question that changing. I think Tom does a good job 48 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 1: of that, So that could I could easily change in 49 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,960 Speaker 1: a hurry if the coverage was different on the same play, 50 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 1: walk could go to somebody different than it did who 51 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,920 Speaker 1: it didn't went to in the game. And we I 52 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 1: mean we talk about this every week. Just pick out 53 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 1: a different guy and it's the same question, it's the 54 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 1: same answer. Yeah, it was a bad, bad worded question. 55 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 1: I should probably should have asked it more directly. Do 56 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 1: you still feel I guess that Chris is doing what 57 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 1: he did in the past when maybe there was more 58 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,119 Speaker 1: production coming his way, Meaning like is is he's still 59 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 1: running good routes, are he's still seeing productive stuff in 60 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 1: that area even when the ball is not coming his way. 61 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 1: I think all of our receivers I've had production when 62 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 1: they've had an opportunity um to be productive, and we 63 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 1: have confidence in all of them and that's why they're 64 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 1: out there. So hopefully our our entire passing game and 65 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,280 Speaker 1: our entire offense will be more productive than it's been 66 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks. And and and he's had, 67 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 1: you know, now in his third year with you. How 68 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 1: have you noticed anything in terms of like how he's 69 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 1: handling just the last the production being down, Like, have 70 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 1: you noticed a difference at all in just his approach 71 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:38,360 Speaker 1: and his how's how he's handling that. Chris works hard, 72 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 1: he's it's one of our hardest workers. He's got good stamina, 73 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 1: can can practice and go all day. Um. So we 74 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:50,160 Speaker 1: have a lot of we have a lot of confidence 75 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 1: in Chris and our entire offense. We just we being 76 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 1: more productive in every area points running the ball, throwing 77 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 1: the ball after the catch. Um very much, you name it. 78 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,359 Speaker 1: My ball security has been better the last couple of weeks. 79 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 1: But we just we need we need more production. Appreciate that. 80 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:20,239 Speaker 1: Thank you. You're welcome. Our next question Phil Perry, followed 81 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 1: by Bob Associates. Hey, Bill, we've we've asked you in 82 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 1: the past about how continuity along the opensive line has 83 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:32,240 Speaker 1: helped you guys. Um, and so I'm wondering with you know, 84 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,599 Speaker 1: Shack obviously being out the last few weeks, how you've 85 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 1: seen that unit um adapt to that change, and have 86 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 1: They've been multiple changes along the line at different points, 87 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 1: but particularly at right guard with that filling in, how 88 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,240 Speaker 1: they have you seen, um that group would adapt to 89 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 1: that switch, and maybe how you've seen the players on 90 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 1: either side of that spot. David and Marcus lately UM 91 00:05:54,800 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 1: kind of help things with shack out right. Well, UM, 92 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,160 Speaker 1: you know, we've had a little bit of a little 93 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 1: bit of that of tackle UM as well with La 94 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:15,480 Speaker 1: Marcus and and Trent and then um Ted playing guard 95 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:17,719 Speaker 1: and he started a couple of games for us last 96 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 1: year when David was out. So when you only have 97 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 1: seven linemen at the game, there are a lot of 98 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 1: different combinations there, and we practice those every week so 99 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 1: that we have our guys ready for that if that 100 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:38,039 Speaker 1: situation where to come up. So I think we, like 101 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:39,599 Speaker 1: I said, we've had a lot of snaps at it, 102 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 1: We work at it. UM could certainly be better. We 103 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 1: can definitely improve on it, and UM we know that 104 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 1: that's unfortunately, that's part of the game and everybody has 105 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 1: to be ready to go. And I'm sure that we'll 106 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:58,160 Speaker 1: have to deal with some element of of juggling an 107 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 1: offensive line a little bit here um point again this year. 108 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,800 Speaker 1: I'm hopefully not, but realistically that's that's probably something that 109 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,360 Speaker 1: will come up. So was that to prepare for it? 110 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 1: Thank you're welcome. Next question, Bob so See, followed by 111 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 1: Evan Lazar. All right, thank you, Stacy, Good morning, Bill, 112 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 1: Bill Low. One of the stats that certainly caught me 113 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 1: by surprise in looking at the scoring differential is in 114 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 1: the first and third quarters. I think it's minus thirty 115 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 1: overall in those two quarters. And as you look to 116 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 1: improve in all areas as a football team, what are 117 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 1: some of the factors that can turn those trends around 118 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 1: and put the team on the plus side in the 119 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 1: first and third quarters in particular. Right, Well, we've we've 120 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 1: looked at that, and I don't think there's any magical 121 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 1: solution that really comes down to our execution of the 122 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 1: plays UM, whatever they happen to be, runs, passes, play 123 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 1: actions outside inside. It's if we execute play as well, 124 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 1: we gain yards. And if we don't UM then and 125 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 1: we don't so UM, just our overall coaching and playing 126 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 1: execution of whatever it is that we run. Whenever we 127 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:32,679 Speaker 1: run it was it's in the first quarter, fourth quarter, UM. 128 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:37,839 Speaker 1: And we've had plenty of success when when things are 129 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 1: done correctly and officially, and when they're not, then we 130 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:47,320 Speaker 1: don't have the same results. So that's really what it 131 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:55,080 Speaker 1: comes down to. Thank you, You're welcome, And it looks 132 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 1: like our last question we from Evan Bizzar. Go ahead, Evan, Hey, coach, 133 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 1: I just wanted to ask for your impressions so far 134 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 1: this season of coach floor is calling plays and how 135 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,319 Speaker 1: you've kind of seen him put his imprint on the defense. 136 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,080 Speaker 1: I think our coach and spat works works very hard 137 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 1: in all areas offense, defense, special teams. They all are 138 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 1: really diligent and um, you know, grind it out. Brian's 139 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 1: responsibilities a little bit different than they were last year. 140 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 1: He's worked really hard at it. I think he's he's 141 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:32,960 Speaker 1: done a real good job. He's got a good presence 142 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:39,679 Speaker 1: and good football mind, and yeah, he's done a good 143 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:44,720 Speaker 1: job for us. Thanks coach. Oh, you're welcome. Thank you, coach.
