Hey what'd you think of this guy? 65 00:03:16,359 --> 00:03:19,679 Speaker 5: What was your experience? And it's like that collaboration is 66 00:03:19,719 --> 00:03:22,639 Speaker 5: what makes you good. It's what you know, brings everybody 67 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:24,638 Speaker 5: together and gets your pooling in the same direction. When 68 00:03:24,758 --> 00:03:27,679 Speaker 5: when everybody's root for the same thing normally works out. 69 00:03:27,519 --> 00:03:29,279 Speaker 7: Well a lot on the field. 70 00:03:29,359 --> 00:03:31,159 Speaker 8: Do you see him as a three down player or 71 00:03:31,199 --> 00:03:33,119 Speaker 8: more just like situational pass rusher. 72 00:03:33,359 --> 00:03:33,599 Speaker 3: Yeah. 73 00:03:33,839 --> 00:03:36,839 Speaker 5: I think anytime a guy gets anywhere, you figure out 74 00:03:36,879 --> 00:03:39,159 Speaker 5: what role he can play in early and then grow 75 00:03:39,159 --> 00:03:42,879 Speaker 5: it from there. And with him, he's really developed his 76 00:03:42,959 --> 00:03:46,319 Speaker 5: game to be an every down player, you know, early 77 00:03:46,359 --> 00:03:49,559 Speaker 5: in his career, probably more pass rush. Now I think 78 00:03:49,599 --> 00:03:52,119 Speaker 5: he's really working at becoming a complete player, and it's 79 00:03:52,159 --> 00:03:54,399 Speaker 5: just about what he can do in this system. And 80 00:03:54,439 --> 00:03:57,238 Speaker 5: we're looking at this thing like a blank slate, like hey, 81 00:03:57,319 --> 00:03:58,159 Speaker 5: like forget. 82 00:03:57,959 --> 00:03:59,279 Speaker 4: About what you did. 83 00:03:59,759 --> 00:04:02,238 Speaker 5: We believe you can do all this stuff, and we're 84 00:04:02,239 --> 00:04:03,799 Speaker 5: not going to put him in a box, similar to 85 00:04:03,879 --> 00:04:06,799 Speaker 5: really anybody on our team. Like if you don't put 86 00:04:06,799 --> 00:04:09,239 Speaker 5: guys in a box, it's amazing how much they can grow. 87 00:04:09,239 --> 00:04:10,959 Speaker 4: You put them in that box, there's limited growth. 88 00:04:10,999 --> 00:04:13,839 Speaker 5: So like looking at Jennings in the other direction, more 89 00:04:13,839 --> 00:04:17,558 Speaker 5: of a run player early, you you know, remove that 90 00:04:17,599 --> 00:04:19,479 Speaker 5: box and see how he can grow and he's become 91 00:04:19,558 --> 00:04:20,878 Speaker 5: really an all around player as well. 92 00:04:20,919 --> 00:04:22,519 Speaker 4: So that's really what we try to do with all 93 00:04:22,558 --> 00:04:23,078 Speaker 4: of our guys. 94 00:04:23,199 --> 00:04:25,438 Speaker 7: Yesterday he said, you want to kind of bring leadership 95 00:04:25,759 --> 00:04:27,639 Speaker 7: to the room. Come again in November. 96 00:04:27,919 --> 00:04:30,359 Speaker 9: How hard is that for a guy to be become 97 00:04:30,399 --> 00:04:31,679 Speaker 9: a leader when you're just joining a. 98 00:04:32,239 --> 00:04:35,359 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think his his resume and his record. Guys 99 00:04:35,438 --> 00:04:38,359 Speaker 5: respect that. So I think that respect helps you become 100 00:04:38,359 --> 00:04:40,598 Speaker 5: a leader faster. And I don't know what the number 101 00:04:40,639 --> 00:04:42,558 Speaker 5: is on the number of Saxony his career, but it's 102 00:04:42,759 --> 00:04:45,758 Speaker 5: it's up there. And I think that's something everybody respects 103 00:04:45,759 --> 00:04:47,999 Speaker 5: and everybody would want to learn from kind of how 104 00:04:48,039 --> 00:04:48,479 Speaker 5: he did it. 105 00:04:48,799 --> 00:04:49,839 Speaker 4: And then he's the same way. 106 00:04:49,879 --> 00:04:51,959 Speaker 5: He wants to learn how these guys are doing it 107 00:04:51,999 --> 00:04:54,519 Speaker 5: here in this system. So it's a good blend. And 108 00:04:54,799 --> 00:04:57,439 Speaker 5: he's confident and he really, you know, is able to 109 00:04:57,479 --> 00:05:01,039 Speaker 5: express himself and express the you know, things that he's 110 00:05:01,078 --> 00:05:02,719 Speaker 5: been through in his career with the other guys and. 111 00:05:02,678 --> 00:05:05,279 Speaker 4: Help those guys. It's nothing but a huge plus for. 112 00:05:05,318 --> 00:05:08,359 Speaker 7: Us to tell him you feel free to speak up 113 00:05:08,359 --> 00:05:09,479 Speaker 7: when he needs you and stuff like that. 114 00:05:09,558 --> 00:05:09,758 Speaker 3: Yeah. 115 00:05:09,799 --> 00:05:11,998 Speaker 5: I think that's that's the culture, that's the environment, Like 116 00:05:12,039 --> 00:05:14,078 Speaker 5: we trust these guys. We want these guys to let 117 00:05:14,119 --> 00:05:16,799 Speaker 5: their light shine.

We 119 00:05:18,759 --> 00:05:21,839 Speaker 5: want them to open lines of communication.

So I think really the culture he's 178 00:07:55,439 --> 00:07:58,799 Speaker 5: dropping into here, we know we're building something special and 179 00:07:59,078 --> 00:08:02,439 Speaker 5: you know, it's year one, we're you know, we're not 180 00:08:02,519 --> 00:08:04,639 Speaker 5: where we're going to be, but we're working hard to 181 00:08:04,679 --> 00:08:05,999 Speaker 5: get there, and he's going to be a part of that. 182 00:08:07,999 --> 00:08:11,279 Speaker 6: Standpoint with Yan, what does he have that makes them 183 00:08:11,279 --> 00:08:12,559 Speaker 6: an effective pass rush? 184 00:08:12,839 --> 00:08:15,719 Speaker 5: Yeah, he's got tremendous get off abilities. So his first 185 00:08:15,799 --> 00:08:19,599 Speaker 5: two steps the quickness and the burst anticipate the snap 186 00:08:19,599 --> 00:08:22,639 Speaker 5: and get off the ball really good. He also when 187 00:08:22,639 --> 00:08:25,158 Speaker 5: he gets there what we call the fight area, So 188 00:08:25,199 --> 00:08:28,239 Speaker 5: it's when the tackle really throws their hands or dictates 189 00:08:28,239 --> 00:08:30,039 Speaker 5: how they're going to set that fight air. 190 00:08:30,319 --> 00:08:31,359 Speaker 4: How can I get on top. 191 00:08:31,239 --> 00:08:31,759 Speaker 3: Of this guy? 192 00:08:32,119 --> 00:08:35,599 Speaker 5: That's something where you know, really throughout his whole career, 193 00:08:35,919 --> 00:08:38,279 Speaker 5: he's got some signature moves that he goes to probably 194 00:08:38,319 --> 00:08:41,119 Speaker 5: has a better cross chop than anybody in the league. 195 00:08:41,359 --> 00:08:43,919 Speaker 4: But then with that he keeps adding tools and he's. 196 00:08:43,759 --> 00:08:46,639 Speaker 5: Got a really good power rush, really good counter rush 197 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,519 Speaker 5: off that. So now these tackles are always uneven a 198 00:08:49,639 --> 00:08:51,838 Speaker 5: from the getoff will be they don't know how he's 199 00:08:51,839 --> 00:08:54,559 Speaker 5: going to attack it, and then ultimately it's that finish. 200 00:08:54,719 --> 00:08:57,079 Speaker 4: So like when I get on top of this tackle, 201 00:08:57,319 --> 00:08:59,119 Speaker 4: how do I bend? How do I burst? How do 202 00:08:59,159 --> 00:09:02,399 Speaker 4: I separate quarterback from the ball? Like those three parts 203 00:09:02,399 --> 00:09:04,119 Speaker 4: of a rusher, he's got all three of them. 204 00:09:04,119 --> 00:09:05,999 Speaker 5: There's some guys where it's, hey, this is a little 205 00:09:05,999 --> 00:09:08,599 Speaker 5: stronger than this, but he finishes really well. Hey, he's 206 00:09:08,599 --> 00:09:10,559 Speaker 5: got a great get off, doesn't necessarily have this. 207 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:12,719 Speaker 4: This guy's a total package as a rusher, and you've 208 00:09:12,759 --> 00:09:16,039 Speaker 4: seen it.

You know, 307 00:13:14,119 --> 00:13:16,879 Speaker 6: he can read out the coverage, you know, take He 308 00:13:16,919 --> 00:13:19,078 Speaker 6: probably takes a lot of pride in knowing this is 309 00:13:19,119 --> 00:13:20,679 Speaker 6: the coverage, this is where I'm going with the ball, 310 00:13:20,999 --> 00:13:24,999 Speaker 6: Like a lot of those veteran pocket passing quarterbacks take 311 00:13:25,119 --> 00:13:26,799 Speaker 6: a ton of pride in that. And that's kind of 312 00:13:26,799 --> 00:13:30,599 Speaker 6: what his type is. You know, he just knows where 313 00:13:30,599 --> 00:13:33,039 Speaker 6: he's going and he can make those throws. And then 314 00:13:33,159 --> 00:13:38,599 Speaker 6: again across the league, you know inside passing is it's 315 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,279 Speaker 6: high percentage.

And really that's 319 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,279 Speaker 6: how I kind of see the game, Like everybody's only 320 00:13:51,399 --> 00:13:53,999 Speaker 6: trying to do the high percentage stuff, and then if 321 00:13:54,039 --> 00:13:55,279 Speaker 6: there's tendencies, they're trying. 322 00:13:55,119 --> 00:13:55,919 Speaker 7: To break tendencies. 323 00:13:56,359 --> 00:13:58,799 Speaker 2: And then with Stafford, a guy who can manipulate coverage 324 00:13:58,799 --> 00:14:00,759 Speaker 2: just like looking one way and throwing another, and how 325 00:14:00,799 --> 00:14:02,399 Speaker 2: he just does that so easily, what. 326 00:14:02,399 --> 00:14:03,759 Speaker 3: Are you coaching those situations? 327 00:14:03,799 --> 00:14:06,039 Speaker 2: Like you're just saying player technique or like, is that 328 00:14:06,079 --> 00:14:08,159 Speaker 2: it's such a heels like a rare kind of challenge. 329 00:14:08,519 --> 00:14:12,039 Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, you're just trying to play everything true. 330 00:14:12,479 --> 00:14:13,279 Speaker 7: Try not to guess. 331 00:14:13,839 --> 00:14:16,279 Speaker 6: You know, if they have scissors, right, they have something 332 00:14:16,319 --> 00:14:18,839 Speaker 6: off of that, right. If they have you know, double ins, 333 00:14:18,839 --> 00:14:21,519 Speaker 6: double outs, right, they definitely got an ine go or 334 00:14:21,679 --> 00:14:23,879 Speaker 6: shape move at the top of a stutter. You're just 335 00:14:23,879 --> 00:14:25,639 Speaker 6: trying to play everything true with a guy like this, 336 00:14:25,759 --> 00:14:28,679 Speaker 6: a quarterback that can make all three level throws, and 337 00:14:29,319 --> 00:14:32,959 Speaker 6: you know, try not to do anything crazy and be like, 338 00:14:32,999 --> 00:14:35,559 Speaker 6: this is what it is. Because when you say this 339 00:14:35,639 --> 00:14:38,999 Speaker 6: is what it is to a corner or safety, sometimes 340 00:14:39,039 --> 00:14:40,999 Speaker 6: that goes the other way and then they go, I 341 00:14:40,999 --> 00:14:42,599 Speaker 6: thought you said it was one hundred percent. 342 00:14:42,399 --> 00:14:44,999 Speaker 7: So you say it's about it's about eighty five percent. 343 00:14:45,559 --> 00:14:48,519 Speaker 9: What did you see it from Alex Austin at practice 344 00:14:48,519 --> 00:14:50,079 Speaker 9: and then his windows kind of coming up here. 345 00:14:50,159 --> 00:14:52,119 Speaker 6: Yeah, so Alex is doing really good job getting his 346 00:14:52,119 --> 00:14:55,639 Speaker 6: feedback underneath them, you know, ready to go. The thing 347 00:14:55,759 --> 00:14:58,279 Speaker 6: is you need to create a roster spot to get 348 00:14:58,319 --> 00:15:02,359 Speaker 6: him back on the roster. So that is a head 349 00:15:02,359 --> 00:15:04,759 Speaker 6: coach front office question, not a Mike. 350 00:15:04,639 --> 00:15:06,519 Speaker 7: Bugger no cornerback coach question. 351 00:15:06,719 --> 00:15:10,279 Speaker 2: Speaking of those ye when speaking of those young guys, 352 00:15:10,319 --> 00:15:12,399 Speaker 2: Isaiah Bolden seemed like he got his first significant action 353 00:15:12,479 --> 00:15:12,919 Speaker 2: of his career. 354 00:15:12,999 --> 00:15:14,919 Speaker 7: I was wondering what went into that. How's he going 355 00:15:14,959 --> 00:15:16,999 Speaker 7: behind the scenes? Yeah, No, doing really good. 356 00:15:17,199 --> 00:15:19,399 Speaker 6: Uh, doing a good job in a communicator role as 357 00:15:19,439 --> 00:15:22,999 Speaker 6: a Nickel are stars And you know, it was funny. 358 00:15:23,119 --> 00:15:24,959 Speaker 6: We were sitting there on the sideline before he went 359 00:15:25,199 --> 00:15:27,999 Speaker 6: out there and we were like, all right, guys, big announcement, 360 00:15:28,359 --> 00:15:30,919 Speaker 6: Zay Bolden, let's go man. He was like, all right, hey, 361 00:15:30,999 --> 00:15:34,119 Speaker 6: let's go man. So you know, everybody was super pumped 362 00:15:34,159 --> 00:15:35,279 Speaker 6: get him in the game. And that's what I love 363 00:15:35,319 --> 00:15:38,399 Speaker 6: about Mike group. It's not about one guy. It's about 364 00:15:38,439 --> 00:15:40,799 Speaker 6: the group, and it's about having fun out there playing. 365 00:15:40,599 --> 00:15:41,839 Speaker 4: Ball within that group. 366 00:15:41,879 --> 00:15:43,759 Speaker 8: And the best I can tell the outside, which is 367 00:15:43,759 --> 00:15:44,999 Speaker 8: not much. A lot of guys are shown a lot 368 00:15:44,999 --> 00:15:46,959 Speaker 8: of growth this year. But I'm curious if there's a 369 00:15:46,999 --> 00:15:49,639 Speaker 8: player and either a trait or a skill that comes 370 00:15:49,679 --> 00:15:53,039 Speaker 8: to mind. This trait or skill is so much different. 371 00:15:53,119 --> 00:15:55,239 Speaker 8: He's doing so much growth in this area through the 372 00:15:55,239 --> 00:15:58,519 Speaker 8: first ten weeks of the season. One player, one player, 373 00:15:58,559 --> 00:15:58,959 Speaker 8: a skill. 374 00:15:59,079 --> 00:16:03,199 Speaker 6: Marcus Jones, Okay, have so Marcus Jones Marcus Jones. You know, 375 00:16:03,599 --> 00:16:07,559 Speaker 6: so previous years just trying to play everything a little 376 00:16:07,559 --> 00:16:10,359 Speaker 6: soft jam right match peak because he's playing through his 377 00:16:10,359 --> 00:16:12,799 Speaker 6: strength this year, changing it up more, doing a great 378 00:16:12,879 --> 00:16:16,479 Speaker 6: job is off coverage from last year's spring to right now, 379 00:16:16,679 --> 00:16:21,199 Speaker 6: gotten significantly better, significantly player. And I remind him about 380 00:16:21,199 --> 00:16:22,679 Speaker 6: that all the time every time he's got a good 381 00:16:22,719 --> 00:16:25,879 Speaker 6: off man rep, Like, hey man, remember when this wasn't great? 382 00:16:25,999 --> 00:16:26,239 Speaker 3: Great? 383 00:16:26,319 --> 00:16:28,759 Speaker 6: That's called growth. We talk about it every day on 384 00:16:29,239 --> 00:16:32,959 Speaker 6: after practice. If we're not growing right every single day, 385 00:16:33,039 --> 00:16:35,719 Speaker 6: I'm not doing my job, I shouldn't be here, all right. 386 00:16:35,759 --> 00:16:37,959 Speaker 6: So that's that's the goal for me as a coach. 387 00:16:38,439 --> 00:16:41,719 Speaker 6: Growth and being intentional about growth every single day. 388 00:16:41,879 --> 00:16:43,679 Speaker 2: What specifically has he done to get better? Because like 389 00:16:43,719 --> 00:16:45,359 Speaker 2: he's got the hits, he's got the speed. I know 390 00:16:45,399 --> 00:16:47,439 Speaker 2: there was one like the post against San Francisco where 391 00:16:47,559 --> 00:16:49,639 Speaker 2: like I know, the completed differ, he was all over it. 392 00:16:49,719 --> 00:16:50,999 Speaker 7: So what specifically is he doing. 393 00:16:50,799 --> 00:16:51,639 Speaker 3: To get better? Yeah? 394 00:16:51,679 --> 00:16:53,879 Speaker 6: So, I mean, look, it's the field, right, you gotta 395 00:16:53,879 --> 00:16:55,559 Speaker 6: feel speed at the top. When do I get to 396 00:16:55,599 --> 00:16:57,319 Speaker 6: a quarter turn? When do I turn my hip and 397 00:16:57,359 --> 00:16:59,719 Speaker 6: turn and go? Like that's that's all big thinks where's 398 00:16:59,719 --> 00:17:01,719 Speaker 6: the breakpoint. Is the break point at twelve this week? 399 00:17:01,799 --> 00:17:02,999 Speaker 6: Or is a breakpoint at fifteen? 400 00:17:03,399 --> 00:17:03,559 Speaker 3: Right? 401 00:17:03,599 --> 00:17:05,599 Speaker 6: If it's play action, it probably might be at fifteen, 402 00:17:05,638 --> 00:17:07,719 Speaker 6: might be a little bit deeper down the field. So 403 00:17:07,759 --> 00:17:10,039 Speaker 6: it's it's a field. So just like anything in life, 404 00:17:10,039 --> 00:17:12,479 Speaker 6: you gotta rep it. You don't rep it, you're gonna struggle. 405 00:17:12,839 --> 00:17:12,958 Speaker 1: Right. 406 00:17:12,959 --> 00:17:14,879 Speaker 6: If I just say like, hey, we're gonna go out 407 00:17:14,879 --> 00:17:17,398 Speaker 6: there and you're gonna you're gonna work your off coverage, 408 00:17:17,398 --> 00:17:19,159 Speaker 6: you're a pedal quarter turn and then turn a run 409 00:17:19,319 --> 00:17:21,918 Speaker 6: or break first couple of times, You're not gonna be 410 00:17:21,959 --> 00:17:26,359 Speaker 6: very good at it, right, So like you just got well, 411 00:17:26,398 --> 00:17:29,799 Speaker 6: I'm just I'm just assuming. I'm assuming, I'm assuming right now, right, 412 00:17:29,839 --> 00:17:34,879 Speaker 6: And but yeah, no, that's we just got to keep 413 00:17:34,918 --> 00:17:36,879 Speaker 6: rapping it, keep wrapping it. I've been more intentional in 414 00:17:36,918 --> 00:17:39,079 Speaker 6: the past two years of working the off coverage, So 415 00:17:39,319 --> 00:17:41,879 Speaker 6: just trying to make sure my guys have enough tools 416 00:17:41,879 --> 00:17:43,839 Speaker 6: to go out there and compete and do what we're asking. 417 00:17:43,638 --> 00:17:43,918 Speaker 3: Them to do. 418 00:17:44,158 --> 00:17:46,558 Speaker 8: This is a hypothetical, but let's say you know that 419 00:17:46,638 --> 00:17:48,798 Speaker 8: growth from Marcus, you know, I come along, but not 420 00:17:48,879 --> 00:17:51,438 Speaker 8: to the degree that he has that that much growth. 421 00:17:52,198 --> 00:17:55,239 Speaker 8: Could that have affected some coverage plans, Like I started 422 00:17:55,238 --> 00:17:58,318 Speaker 8: asking about you're playing sevent six percent men, if that 423 00:17:58,398 --> 00:18:00,278 Speaker 8: growth hasn't been shown, you wouldn't be able to do 424 00:18:00,319 --> 00:18:00,879 Speaker 8: things like that. 425 00:18:05,999 --> 00:18:06,319 Speaker 3: Uh. 426 00:18:06,398 --> 00:18:09,319 Speaker 7: Yeah, we would do what's best for the team. It's 427 00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:10,759 Speaker 7: an easier way to answer that question. 428 00:18:10,958 --> 00:18:13,079 Speaker 8: Like in fact, if it's curious how much, if it's 429 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:13,599 Speaker 8: if it's. 430 00:18:13,478 --> 00:18:15,398 Speaker 6: Not great for us, sometimes we got to suck it 431 00:18:15,478 --> 00:18:17,678 Speaker 6: up right and it's not great for us, but we. 432 00:18:17,678 --> 00:18:19,359 Speaker 7: Gotta go this is best for the team. We got 433 00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:21,999 Speaker 7: to go out there and do it. And we understand 434 00:18:22,039 --> 00:18:23,998 Speaker 7: that when there's certain coverages where it may not be 435 00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:26,158 Speaker 7: so clean like it is what it is. 436 00:18:26,158 --> 00:18:28,559 Speaker 6: Look, let's just let's just go out there and let's 437 00:18:28,599 --> 00:18:29,998 Speaker 6: do it. And we know it's not that clean. So 438 00:18:30,718 --> 00:18:32,638 Speaker 6: there's some holes in this. But if we got some, 439 00:18:32,879 --> 00:18:34,558 Speaker 6: if we have problems, they have problems too. 440 00:18:34,918 --> 00:18:35,799 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm good. 441 00:18:35,839 --> 00:18:37,678 Speaker 2: Curious about the rotation you guys do because I know 442 00:18:37,718 --> 00:18:39,358 Speaker 2: you like to get like Marco Wilson involved in all 443 00:18:39,398 --> 00:18:41,638 Speaker 2: those guys. I'm curious because Marcus has shown so much 444 00:18:41,678 --> 00:18:44,519 Speaker 2: growth with him not necessarily being in every down player. 445 00:18:44,559 --> 00:18:45,958 Speaker 4: I know he's got his packages and everything. 446 00:18:46,079 --> 00:18:47,558 Speaker 2: Is that just because you want to get your guys 447 00:18:47,559 --> 00:18:49,119 Speaker 2: like on the field and just kind of keep it going. 448 00:18:49,158 --> 00:18:51,438 Speaker 2: Or is it also partially maintenance with guys like Marcus 449 00:18:51,478 --> 00:18:51,959 Speaker 2: and Jonathan. 450 00:18:52,279 --> 00:18:54,359 Speaker 6: Yeah, so I'd say, like for the nickel, the star, 451 00:18:54,638 --> 00:18:57,078 Speaker 6: like the star is a starter in my mind, like 452 00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:59,678 Speaker 6: even though it may not show up on the statue, 453 00:18:59,718 --> 00:19:02,999 Speaker 6: but like the star is a starting corner.

I think 625 00:26:09,478 --> 00:26:11,958 Speaker 11: it was the Philly game, he had an outstanding game. 626 00:26:12,958 --> 00:26:15,479 Speaker 11: There was another regular season game where he stepped in 627 00:26:15,599 --> 00:26:18,599 Speaker 11: and had an unbelievable game, and then obviously last week 628 00:26:18,718 --> 00:26:19,199 Speaker 11: was awesome. 629 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:21,238 Speaker 3: You know, he effected the quarterback, He was good in 630 00:26:21,238 --> 00:26:21,799 Speaker 3: the run game. 631 00:26:21,918 --> 00:26:25,599 Speaker 11: So like those guys, you always want to keep guys 632 00:26:25,638 --> 00:26:29,398 Speaker 11: like that around because if something happens with let's just say, 633 00:26:29,438 --> 00:26:31,079 Speaker 11: when your start, you got a guy that can go 634 00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:34,238 Speaker 11: in and play here there there, So he holds value. 635 00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:36,879 Speaker 7: We've heard the term clinic tape used around here. 636 00:26:37,039 --> 00:26:39,239 Speaker 4: There looks like there was one run stuff. 637 00:26:38,958 --> 00:26:42,119 Speaker 5: In this game in Chicago, sort of defeated a double team, 638 00:26:42,198 --> 00:26:43,079 Speaker 5: ended up making a play. 639 00:26:43,519 --> 00:26:46,318 Speaker 11: Yeah, you talk about you know, let's let's call it 640 00:26:46,319 --> 00:26:49,559 Speaker 11: two hundred and ninety pound guy taking on six hundred 641 00:26:49,559 --> 00:26:53,079 Speaker 11: and fifty to seventy five pounds, dropping the knee, splitting 642 00:26:53,079 --> 00:26:56,198 Speaker 11: a double team and getting a TfL Like that's pretty cool. 643 00:26:56,279 --> 00:26:58,439 Speaker 11: And then you got guys that are you know, three 644 00:26:58,519 --> 00:27:01,759 Speaker 11: hundred plus that get moved off the ball like across 645 00:27:01,799 --> 00:27:03,519 Speaker 11: the league. So, I mean, that's a pretty neat deal 646 00:27:03,599 --> 00:27:06,038 Speaker 11: for him. But it goes back to his film study. 647 00:27:06,158 --> 00:27:08,479 Speaker 11: He had a pretty good idea that was coming. So 648 00:27:08,519 --> 00:27:10,839 Speaker 11: the minute that offensive lineman stepped a certain way, he 649 00:27:10,958 --> 00:27:13,558 Speaker 11: dropped in cork split the double, you know. But it 650 00:27:13,599 --> 00:27:16,839 Speaker 11: goes back to his preparation. Well, you put into it, 651 00:27:16,879 --> 00:27:19,678 Speaker 11: you get out of it, and like he believes in 652 00:27:19,718 --> 00:27:21,398 Speaker 11: that daily.
