1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:05,120
Speaker 1: Okay, Well this is um, another really really good football team. Um.

2
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 1: You know, the Chargers are are very impressive. You know,

3
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 1: it's starting defensively on Boza's you know, um, one of

4
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:17,440
Speaker 1: the most disruptive players in the league. You know, as

5
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:21,640
Speaker 1: good as anybody we play against, run our pass. He's

6
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 1: got a you know, great motor, very strong hands, good instincts, um,

7
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 1: and you know he's he just makes a lot of

8
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:33,200
Speaker 1: disruptive plays. Most of the time it's him making the play,

9
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:36,559
Speaker 1: but a lot of times it's him, um screwing the

10
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:40,200
Speaker 1: play up and forcing the ball to somebody else. So UM,

11
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 1: you know he's he's definitely gotta to stop. But you know,

12
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 1: coach Bradley plays the you know, the very sound you know,

13
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 1: the Seattle scheme, plays very soundly. Um. They don't give

14
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 1: up many big plays. They play with great effort, they're tough. Um,

15
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 1: they make you earn every yard. And you know they

16
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 1: they played very very competitively here throughout the season. Really uh.

17
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 1: You know, you know they've lost a couple of guys,

18
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 1: you know, lost James, lost Ingram along the way. But

19
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: you know this is really a well coached defense, um,

20
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 1: you know, led by Boza. But you know with several

21
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 1: all the good players uh you know in there as well,

22
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: they played good played good team defense. Um you know, offensively,

23
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: quarterbacks been been outstanding. Us throwing the ball well, made

24
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: a lot of good decisions. Um. You know they've got

25
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 1: great skill players Alan obviously you know, leading receiver. It's

26
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: got a lot of a lot of targets, a lot

27
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 1: of production. Um. You know these the Chargers are very

28
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 1: good on third and long, which is uh you know,

29
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 1: I think says something about the their ability to throw

30
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 1: the ball when everybody knows they have to throw it. Um.

31
00:01:54,240 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: Got some explosive players at receiver, Uh Johnson, UM guiding. Uh,

32
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 1: those guys are you know, big big threats. Um you

33
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 1: know they they do a good job for him. Um

34
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: running backs. You know, Eckler's back, so you know he's

35
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,119
Speaker 1: a dynamic player, very good in the passing game, good

36
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 1: in space. Uh it has a really good vision as

37
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: a runner. Hard guy to tackle. Uh you know, and

38
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 1: then Henry, Uh, you know, Henry continues to you know,

39
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: to be a complete uh and you know, very very

40
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 1: good football player for him. Um you know, Henry's had

41
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 1: really been been a great player. You know, watched him

42
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: pretty much his whole career. You know, he started Plastic

43
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: Academy down a little rock. Uh, played for coach Kelly

44
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 1: down there. I had a great career there, went to Arkansas.

45
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 1: Uh you know, I had a great career at Arkansas,

46
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: went to the Chargers and uh, you know, a green out.

47
00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 1: He's really you know, played the hy role uh this year. Um,

48
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 1: and you know it's showing good ability to block catch.

49
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 1: He runs a variety of routes. Uh. You know, he's

50
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 1: come back off the injury and and has been a

51
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,359
Speaker 1: very very productive player for him, you know, along with

52
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: all the rather good skill players. But you know he's

53
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 1: done a good job for him in a running game

54
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: as well as a passing game. And um, so you know,

55
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: I think their offensive numbers speak for themselves. They move

56
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: the ball, score points and and don't turn it over.

57
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,959
Speaker 1: So they a big challenge for us there. And you know,

58
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: a good return game, UM, explosive returners that you know

59
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: we'll have to handle. Um. So team that we you know,

60
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 1: don't don't know very well played him a couple of

61
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: years ago, but quite a bit has changed and left

62
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: to really you know, do a good job of especially

63
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: refamiliarizing ourselves with the not only players, but a different

64
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: offensive scheme and um, you know, a different quarterback. And um,

65
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 1: I said, this would be a week that we're really

66
00:03:57,960 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: going to have to you know, have a great week

67
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: of preparation and you know, be ready to go out there,

68
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: but you know, looking forward to the challenge and the opportunity.

69
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: So um, well, he's pushing along here, one day at

70
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: a time and you know, try to get ahead. Today

71
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 1: I start with Mark Daniels pauled by Phil Perry a

72
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 1: bill of the Ball as well. Good morning. I want

73
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 1: to ask you about Stefan Gilmour. I think he's been

74
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 1: one of the more consistent players since he's arrived in

75
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 1: Fox Brow back in twenty seventeen. But when you have

76
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,160
Speaker 1: a guy like that on the field, how much easier

77
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,039
Speaker 1: does it make your job? How much easier does it

78
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: make the coach's job just having a guy that you know,

79
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 1: you can put out there and you know and the

80
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 1: you know, the consistent job that he'll give you every Sunday. Yeah, yes,

81
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: that's not a good job for us. Um. Absolutely, he's

82
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: you know, he's a smart player. He works extremely hard.

83
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 1: You know, he can he can play physical and and

84
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: force a run and uh, you know cover you know,

85
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 1: cover the some of the quicker receivers and also cover

86
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:01,479
Speaker 1: the you know, bigger guys and ver guys. So you

87
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 1: know he's a you know, can match up against just

88
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:09,039
Speaker 1: about everybody. And again it has good good preparation, good communication,

89
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 1: good ball skills, and um, it's done a good job

90
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,840
Speaker 1: of tackling for us. So you know, he's he's been

91
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 1: a good player. And on a different note, you referenced

92
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: um watching Hunter Henry. I think it was a publisky academy. Um,

93
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 1: what the what made you? Uh what does that? Where

94
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 1: did that relationship starting? When did you start watching him

95
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 1: in the Little Rock? Well, you know, coach Kelly's uh,

96
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: one of the you know, probably the top high school

97
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,599
Speaker 1: coach in the country. And you know it's certainly been,

98
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 1: you know, one of the great coaches in Arkansas high

99
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 1: school football history. You know followed him. He's a little unconventional,

100
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 1: but um, you know he's had great success and and uh,

101
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 1: you know he's had a lot of you know, a

102
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,279
Speaker 1: lot of players come through there. We've got a couple

103
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 1: other ones here, but you know, Henry's you know, probably

104
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: one of the best ones. And um, you know I

105
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,160
Speaker 1: have great respect for you know, Coach Kelly and the

106
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: programming run and uh, you know some of the creative

107
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 1: things that that he does. Um, and then you know

108
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: watching him and following the hunter there really all that

109
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,840
Speaker 1: Henry's they got a I got a bunch of them. Um.

110
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: I think he was the first one, but there's you

111
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 1: know more on the way. UM. You know, just saw

112
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 1: him in Coach Kelly's system and they've they've had tremendous

113
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:30,599
Speaker 1: production there and success. Next question Phil Perry, followed by

114
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 1: Ben Vallens. Hey, Bill, Coach Kelly's pretty aggresive coach. Uh.

115
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: And my my question is is about aggressiveness defensively for

116
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: you guys. I'm just curious, is there something that you

117
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,280
Speaker 1: need to see or that you have seen from your

118
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:53,040
Speaker 1: defense lately that's allowed you to feel better about being

119
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 1: this aggressive? Maybe when you just looked like against the Cardinals. Um,

120
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 1: you guys are pretty aggressive at times, and I don't

121
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: know if there's something that you've seen from your defense

122
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,479
Speaker 1: lately that it's allowed you to feel more okay with

123
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 1: those types of call Oh no, I think we've run those,

124
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: you know, through the years and this year, last year,

125
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: you know, we've pick our spots, and there's certain situations

126
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 1: and you know, certain things that make one type of

127
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 1: pressure maybe more appealing than another. Game planning and so forth.

128
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 1: So you know, some of it's uh, you know, matchups

129
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: and scheme and some of it's situational. So you know,

130
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 1: we've we've done you know, I think you know we've

131
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: done all of it. You know, we've blitz a lot

132
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 1: of guys, We've covered a lot of guys. We've been

133
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 1: in between a lot, so you know, try to try

134
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 1: to mix it up, and you do not do the

135
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: same thing. So the offense, you know, it doesn't you know,

136
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 1: following it too much of a pattern against them. God,

137
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 1: thank you. Yeah, you're walking, Phil. Next question, Ben Vollan

138
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 1: falled by Chris Ryan. Uh, morning Bill to kind of

139
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 1: piggyback off Phil's question there, it seems like Kyle Dugger

140
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: and Josh Uche have started carving out nice roles in

141
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: your defense and have been helpful of on the edges

142
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 1: especially Just what have you seen from them as they've

143
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 1: progressed this season. Yeah, they've both made a lot of progress.

144
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: Um again, they're they're getting better, Um, you know each week.

145
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 1: Jennings too, like those guys are you know, depending on

146
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 1: the game plan and the role, but they've adapted to

147
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,680
Speaker 1: different responsibilities and you know, different roles from week to week.

148
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:42,079
Speaker 1: And um, you know they've they both have versatility. All

149
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 1: three of them really have good versatility and you know,

150
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 1: hopefully they'll continue to improve and develop in our in

151
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 1: our system. Um, they've also been you know, fortunate to

152
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:54,199
Speaker 1: work with some other you know, good players and like Devin,

153
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 1: you know, Jason back there with Kyle and you know

154
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:02,959
Speaker 1: linebackers have you know, John and Jawan Bentley and those

155
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 1: guys have really helped out as well, given given some

156
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 1: leadership to you know, the younger linebackers. So but they

157
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 1: work hard, they're improving, and you know, we just kind

158
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 1: of take a week to week with those guys. I

159
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 1: also want to ask you real quick the first quarter,

160
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 1: it seems like you guys have had a lot of

161
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 1: slow starts this year. Is there anything you can work

162
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 1: on in practice to improve on jumping out of the gate.

163
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: It's a little faster, and we've been working on it. Um,

164
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: We've we've been We work on it every literally every day.

165
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 1: So well, we'll keep working on it and see if

166
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,439
Speaker 1: we can You know, get get better results here, and

167
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 1: we've had a few, you know, but not consistently as

168
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:47,839
Speaker 1: a team, not not where we need to be or

169
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:50,719
Speaker 1: want to be. So it'll be important this week, It's

170
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 1: important every week. Um. Honestly, if I had the answer,

171
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 1: I would have I would have done it, you know,

172
00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:00,959
Speaker 1: ten weeks ago. But right now we're just still gotta

173
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: you know, it just performed better early in the game

174
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 1: and you know, coaching, playing, um, you know, find things

175
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 1: that you know that find a way to be more

176
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 1: productive than we've been. So that's that's definitely a priority.

177
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 1: Thanks for pointing that out. I appreciate it. Next question

178
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 1: Chris Ryan, followed by Migan O'Brien, Morning Bill, How are

179
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 1: you good? Chris? I wanted to get you expand a

180
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 1: little bit upon um Joey about Boza and um, what

181
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 1: do you see from him in regards to an historical context,

182
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 1: is to remind you of any players coming off of

183
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 1: that Buffalo game, is pretty impressive to see what he

184
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 1: did on team Yeah, I'll say, um, it's a one

185
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:50,839
Speaker 1: man wrecking crew. He uh yeah, I mean I think

186
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,679
Speaker 1: he does everything well. Really, it's you know, he made

187
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 1: if you just look at the Buffalo game. I mean

188
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 1: he made plays against the run, and he plays on

189
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 1: short yard age surpass or in passing situations. He sacked

190
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 1: the quarterback on play action situations where he you know,

191
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: converted a you know run run read into a play

192
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 1: action rush. So, um, he's very instinctive. He's you know,

193
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: he's got a tremendous motor. He plays hard. Um, so

194
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 1: he never gives up on a play. He makes a

195
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 1: lot of plays on effort and and hustle. But he's

196
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 1: got strong hands, he can control blockers, and he's instinctive.

197
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 1: He can find the ball and you know recognize um,

198
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 1: you know, recognize things quickly. But I'd say, you know,

199
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 1: it's a combination of his quickness, his explosiveness, and his instincts.

200
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 1: I want to ask you the questions to in regards

201
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 1: to acquiring personnel. Do you when you're looking at players,

202
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 1: do you look just based upon what you think their

203
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 1: skill set is or you try to bring them into

204
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 1: what your philosophy is. Um, in regards to whether it's

205
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,680
Speaker 1: playing the game or the type of individual that you're

206
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:01,960
Speaker 1: looking for and want to have in the locker room. Yeah,

207
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 1: it's a really combination of all those things. Um, you know,

208
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 1: it's like putting a you know, putting a puzzle together.

209
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:11,839
Speaker 1: It's it's a lot of pieces. There are a lot

210
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 1: of components. They're all different. Each player has his own

211
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:19,079
Speaker 1: unique skill set and everything else that comes with a

212
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 1: personality and so forth. So think you just try to

213
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 1: you know, put all that together, evaluate it and put

214
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:29,559
Speaker 1: some type of you know, grade or value on it

215
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 1: and um and again, each guy is different. Each guy

216
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 1: has his own you know, he brings his own you know,

217
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 1: total total package to the to the team, and you know,

218
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 1: how how we use it or how another team would

219
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 1: use it, um, you know, is specific to that that team.

220
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 1: So we just try to evaluate how we feel like

221
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 1: he would fit in for us, and we try to

222
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:59,080
Speaker 1: have enough flexibility and versatility in our schemes so that

223
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 1: if you know, we have a good player, that we

224
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 1: don't block him out by by our system. You know, see,

225
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 1: he can't do this, so he can't play in our system.

226
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: Hopefully our system can adapt and accommodate players that have

227
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 1: um good, good skill sets even though it might be

228
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 1: a little unique, but you know, they have good skill

229
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 1: sets that we find a way to use them. Thanks. Yeah,

230
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 1: you're welcome. Next question Migan O'Brien, followed by Dan Roach

231
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 1: and Bell. You talked about Keenan Allen and your opening statement.

232
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 1: What has stood out to you about his possession game

233
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 1: inside the numbers. Uh, I'd say, you know, the main

234
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:45,840
Speaker 1: thing is this consistency. Um. You know, he's got good quickness.

235
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 1: He can really make good decisions to get open and

236
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 1: be quarterback and be available to the quarterback and in

237
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: a friendly way so that um, you know, the quarterback

238
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 1: can you know, can get him the ball easily. UM.

239
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 1: He's obviously got good hands, good ran to catch skills,

240
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 1: and you know he knows how to use whether it's

241
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 1: traffic or UM leverage and attack leverage. I mean, he's

242
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 1: just a good, good instinctive football player with good quickness,

243
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 1: good size, and good hands. UM. Obviously, the quarterbacks that

244
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 1: he's played with, UM, Herbert Rivers, you know, I had

245
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 1: a lot of confidence in him. They they throw the

246
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 1: ball to him in some tight coverage situations and you

247
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 1: know he comes up with it so UM, so they

248
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 1: keep throwing it to him. He's just a very competitive

249
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 1: guy with a really good skills X Christian Dan Roach

250
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 1: called by Andrew Kellinghan, I feel a bit of a

251
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 1: different question. Going to a new stadium and obviously one

252
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 1: that doesn't happen. Man, what do you study about it

253
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 1: before you go there? Do you take time a little

254
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 1: bit more time maybe when you get there take a

255
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 1: look around? Or oh yeah, uh definitely we we um

256
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 1: you know, in a new stadium or stay stadium we

257
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 1: haven't been to or haven't been there in a while.

258
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, that's definitely a priority. Uh, like when we

259
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 1: played in Mexico, you know, something like that, We've never

260
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 1: been in that stadium. Um. Yeah, the you know, go

261
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 1: out and you know, look at the turf, get familiar

262
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 1: with the surroundings. Where's the forty second clock? Where's the

263
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 1: game clock? Um? You know what's what are the factors

264
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,359
Speaker 1: with the song or the lights or you know background

265
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 1: uh for you know guys that are catching the ball

266
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 1: and returners things like that. Um, you know, are there

267
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 1: any any other notable uh? You know, things you don't

268
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 1: want to you know, you don't want to have a

269
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 1: player in the middle of the game, you know all

270
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 1: of a sudden be standing on the logo and feel like,

271
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 1: you know, it's slick or you know, those are the

272
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 1: kind of things you want to whatever it is, it is,

273
00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: but you just don't want to be surprised or distracted

274
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 1: on that type of thing here in the game, so

275
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 1: they try to get it, you know, get it out

276
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 1: of the way. But you know, a lot of times

277
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 1: if you're an unfamiliar stadium for a quarterback or um,

278
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 1: you know, defense, not not really having know where the

279
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 1: forty second clock is and you're trying to time up

280
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 1: a blitz or you know, the quarterbacks looking and it's

281
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes in the corner, sometimes it's underneath the goalpost.

282
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's you know, different locations. You know, those kind

283
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 1: of things you definitely want to you know, get a

284
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 1: familiarity with. And um, you know, we have plenty of

285
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 1: plenty of people in the league, um you know, relationships

286
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 1: and at one place or another where you can call

287
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 1: and ask somebody, uh, you know, what their experience was like.

288
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 1: There's anything you know, notable or unusual that you know

289
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 1: we should make our our team or coaches or players

290
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 1: aware of, and um, you know, sometimes that could be

291
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 1: the coaches booth. You know, maybe maybe the vantage point

292
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 1: is better at one side of one end of the

293
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 1: field than the other end of the field, or um,

294
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 1: you know, whatever the case might be. There's again a

295
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:06,400
Speaker 1: lot of little things that you try to if you're

296
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,639
Speaker 1: not familiar with it, you just try to, you know,

297
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 1: gain as much knowledge as you can about it, especially

298
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 1: teams that have played there, you know, Division teams that

299
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 1: have played there every year and you know, probably has

300
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 1: some insight that can help you. Next question, Andrew Callahan

301
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 1: called by Mike Peas. They really wanted to ask you

302
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 1: about Justin Herbert physically. Obviously he's played impressive or whatever

303
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:33,680
Speaker 1: you see from his just kind of processing in his

304
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 1: mental side of his game that's allowed him to get

305
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:39,199
Speaker 1: up to a fast career start. Yeah, very good. Um,

306
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,400
Speaker 1: does a good job on the progressions. Looks like he's

307
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 1: going to the right place where they wanted to go,

308
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 1: you know, most if not all the time. Um. You know,

309
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 1: patterns designed with you know, and a lot of the

310
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 1: patterns are designed with five receivers out, so it's a

311
00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 1: full field read. You know, it looks like he he's

312
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 1: going to the right side based on on the coverage. Um.

313
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,160
Speaker 1: You know, if it's a man pattern on one side

314
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 1: and his own tatter on the other side, you know,

315
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:11,919
Speaker 1: that kind of thing, making the right in a right

316
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:15,879
Speaker 1: decision on where to go with the ball is accuracy's good. Um.

317
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:17,920
Speaker 1: And then their number plays on a line of scrimmage

318
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,679
Speaker 1: where you can you know, see him change in the

319
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:25,359
Speaker 1: play or um. You know, sometimes they'll that'll include a

320
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:29,399
Speaker 1: formation adjustment, but sometimes he'll walk under center or be

321
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 1: under center and walk back, move the back, change of protection. Uh,

322
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,119
Speaker 1: you know, go through the process and all that, and

323
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 1: there's not they have very you know, they don't have

324
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 1: a lot of penalties, you know, false starts, the lay game,

325
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:44,439
Speaker 1: stuff like that. It's a pretty pretty smooth operation at

326
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 1: least on film. Um. And and he executes it well. Um,

327
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 1: you know, does a does a good job protecting the ball,

328
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 1: does a good job, you know, executing a variety of plays.

329
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say they have a you know, just a

330
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:02,920
Speaker 1: simple offense. They do quite a bit and doesn't look

331
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,640
Speaker 1: like they're restricted, you know, at all. So I think,

332
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 1: you know, mentally, you know, he's good. Even though he

333
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,159
Speaker 1: doesn't have a lot of experience, he seems to be

334
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:14,919
Speaker 1: quite comfortable and what they asked him to do, and

335
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 1: they seem quite comfortable in and given him quite a

336
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,919
Speaker 1: bit of responsibility. So I answer, way, I read it,

337
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:26,919
Speaker 1: I don't know. Last question, Mike Greece, you know you

338
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 1: like those old school charger powder blues. Is that we're

339
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 1: getting this week? I don't know. I haven't. I haven't,

340
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 1: I haven't got to the scouting report. Yeah, yeah, I was.

341
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 1: I was curious about Myles Bryant. Um showed up a

342
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:45,199
Speaker 1: little bit last week in the game, and he got

343
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,640
Speaker 1: the promotion early in the season, even though he wasn't

344
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 1: really active for some games. Just what did you see

345
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,719
Speaker 1: from him from when you first got him, you know,

346
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:54,879
Speaker 1: to get to the point where now he's you know,

347
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 1: he was active this last game and looked like he

348
00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:01,159
Speaker 1: did some good things for you. Yeah, yeah, he did. Mike. Um,

349
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 1: you know, we've been pretty pretty fortunate this year in

350
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 1: the secondary um from a health standpoint, and you know,

351
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 1: we have good depth back there. But um, as I said,

352
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,199
Speaker 1: we've been pretty healthy. But you know, he had a

353
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:18,400
Speaker 1: good training camp and um, you know we had him

354
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 1: on the roster, we just haven't had a lot of

355
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 1: opportunity to you know, to play him. The guys in

356
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:24,880
Speaker 1: front of him and play you know well, and there

357
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:29,360
Speaker 1: their opportunities. So um, but he's he's learned a lot.

358
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 1: He's very attentive and um, you know, as asked a

359
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 1: lot of good questions, and you know with Devin and Jason,

360
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 1: John Jones and guys like that. I mean he's always

361
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 1: trying to you know, absorb a little coaching points and

362
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 1: tips and that type of thing, and then he has

363
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 1: a good aptitude to you know, apply him in the

364
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:56,959
Speaker 1: right situation and and communicating well on the field in

365
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 1: practice and as you said, in his you know, opportunities

366
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 1: in the game, they've been limited, but you know it's

367
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 1: carried over positively from the same thing he did in practice.

368
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:10,639
Speaker 1: So um, you know, I think he's has some versatility.

369
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 1: We'll see, you know, how it goes um with him.

370
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 1: But you know, so far, he's done a lot of

371
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:18,639
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of good things. I mean he

372
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 1: hasn't really been you know, out there in a spotlight,

373
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 1: you know, under under intensive fire, but it's been more

374
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,199
Speaker 1: you know, situational roles and things like that. But you

375
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 1: know he's done a good job with those. Thank you, coach,

376
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:34,879
Speaker 1: Thanks everyone,
