00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 2: about starting our cars and getting everything cleaned off, and

17
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 2: our cars are cleaned off and and I can't thank

18
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 2: those people enough.

19
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:56,680

00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:04,319
Speaker 2: get players prepared, or training room.

22
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:04,680
Speaker 1: Just everybody involved with this thing.

23
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 2: But obviously the players that thank them, and I know

24
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 2: that they're excited, you know, to get us, to get

25
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,479
Speaker 2: us this next uh, this next game, and.

26
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 1: Just the work that they're going to put in here

27
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 1: this week.

28
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 2: I think we have a good plan form, we're excited

29
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 2: about it, and it'll be a huge challenge and it'll

30
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 2: be a huge test.

31
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 1: So what do you got? So just I know the

32
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 1: radio you're asked out during his shoulder and jury that

33
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: I'm just curious.

34
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 3: Is that kind of something that's maybe blown a little

35
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 3: but out of proportion?

36
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: Probably?

37
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 2: And here's what I'm gonna start saying about this radio show.

38
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 2: This is like the Miranda rights. I can't there's nothing

39
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:42,479
Speaker 2: that I can say on there that can be used

40
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 2: against me when I come back in here. So going forward,

41
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 2: that that's what we're gonna have to say. Like that's

42
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 2: those are like free interviews.

43
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: I'm in there. We're doing breakfast shots and uh, you know.

44
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 2: But I think that everybody and including Drake, is not

45
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 2: one hundred percent at this part of the year, and

46
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 2: you know, we'll do everything that we can to help

47
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 2: our players be prepared and get ready for this game.

48
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: Like what's your week like with the players?

49
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 4: What do you want from them?

50
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 1: And what's the experience? Yeah, we have to get healthy,

51
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 1: you know what I mean?

52
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 2: We have to get healthy, you know, stay in the

53
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 2: day I think helped us get a little bit of

54
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 2: rest so we didn't get back late or try to

55
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 2: sleep on a plane.

56
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 1: We'll get moving.

57
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 2: Around Tomorrow, they'll they'll lift and run and work out,

58
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 2: you know. Tomorrow, do some light football drills. The players

59
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 2: will run those, I'll run the conditioning things like that,

60
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,679
Speaker 2: and then we'll practice Thursday and Friday. Give an opportunity

61
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 2: to you know, take a day off on Sunday or Saturday,

62
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 2: and then and then travel. Sunday, get some movement in

63
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,359
Speaker 2: probably the light movement back in the in the weight

64
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,639
Speaker 2: room before we travel, and then Monday will be like

65
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 2: a bonus day which we've view for coming off of

66
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 2: a bye week to kind of do some drills and

67
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 2: some you know, just some movement, and then Tuesday off, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday,

68
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 2: just try to keep it like a like a normal week.

69
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 4: Like I don't know if you asked this directly yet,

70
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 4: d Drake hurt your shoulder on Sunday.

71
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 2: Uh No, I won't say that anybody hurt anything, you know.

72
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,800
Speaker 2: I mean, again, this is a this is a sport

73
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:29,359
Speaker 2: where there's going to be things that come up. But

74
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,359
Speaker 2: I don't think that there's a you know, we'll talk

75
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 2: about whatever status each player has for the game once

76
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 2: we're required to. We understand that. But you know, we

77
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 2: were able to function offensively, throw the football, run the football, you.

78
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: Know, So that's kind of where everybody's at.

79
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 3: When does the game plan get installed and presented to

80
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 3: the players?

81
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 2: I mean, I think that that's something that happens this week,

82
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 2: that's something that happens next week.

83
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of preparation.

84
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 2: I think you want to try to avoid too doing

85
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 2: too much too early, and then also how do you

86
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 2: how do you keep their attention next week and and

87
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 2: focused and locked in. So I think we have a

88
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 2: good balance. Coaches have been a good resource. Josh Josh

89
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 2: has been a good resource. Obviously, He's he's coached in

90
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 2: these with with the extended break, So there's just trying

91
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 2: to find that sweet spot of doing enough here, but

92
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 2: then also you know, still having stuff out there that

93
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 2: that will keep them engaged what you disrupt with.

94
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 3: Guilton Williams has.

95
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 2: Brought to the well again there's a consistency there. And uh,

96
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:48,039
Speaker 2: he's a tireless worker. You know, he worked hard. He

97
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:49,840
Speaker 2: was here in the off season. I think that makes

98
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 2: a difference. And then obviously just the the disruption. And

99
00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 2: I know everybody that rushes the passer, you know, they

100
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 2: strive for sacks, and certainly our ability to affect the

101
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 2: quarterback goes well with well, well, well beyond the sack numbers.

102
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 2: You can get a sack the guy, you know, I mean,

103
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 2: Ganzo got a sack the quarterback ran out out of bounds,

104
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 2: and so if you just look at that, it can

105
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:18,840
Speaker 2: be somewhat misleading.

106
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 1: But he certainly has brought some disruption.

107
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 2: We talked about that after the Houston game, when we

108
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 2: talked about that yesterday or a few days ago here

109
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:31,160
Speaker 2: about the disruption. And I think he has improved some

110
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 2: of his technique in the run game and things that

111
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 2: we've talked about and and he's consciously tried to work

112
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 2: on that, and I appreciate that with him.

113
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 1: When he signs a big contract.

114
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 4: I'm sure there's part of your research that says we

115
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 4: want to make sure that whenever we get money like

116
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 4: that to someone that they don't change as a result

117
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 4: of that money.

118
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 1: How did you, how did you what gave you the

119
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 1: assurance that he was.

120
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 2: Going to have We haven't done a lot of work

121
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 2: with him coming out and just knowing who he is

122
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 2: as a person. But all his family and I think

123
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 2: his parents have been fantastic raising him and his sisters.

124
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 1: And you know, when when you have good bones, you know,

125
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 1: I mean they you could survive a lot.

126
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:18,719
Speaker 2: And so there's you know, for a young player to

127
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 2: come into a lot of money like that, you know,

128
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 2: it is important that they remain grounded and they remain

129
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 2: hungry and wanted to continue to work.

130
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:30,840
Speaker 1: And I know that his parents and his family have

131
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 1: a lot to do with that. When the Super Bowl

132
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 1: languent deal like nah, I haven't thought about that one time.

133
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:42,919
Speaker 4: Was very efficient passing the ball in the regulous season

134
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 4: over the last three is how much they passing output?

135
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,799
Speaker 4: Reflection of the defenses in the pass rushes?

136
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that that's all combination. I think it

137
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 2: all goes into it. And you know, just the defenses

138
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,159
Speaker 2: in general, not just the pass rush. And again a

139
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,359
Speaker 2: lot of that stuff is you know, we'll have to

140
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,280
Speaker 2: be better. We'll have to be better. We'll have to

141
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 2: play one of our best games, if not our best

142
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 2: game against Seattle, to stay balanced, to run the football,

143
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 2: to use all our complementary passing game and not just

144
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 2: turn it into a drop back passing game. Is that

145
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 2: is That's a tough way to live in this league,

146
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 2: especially with the with the players that they have, the

147
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 2: games they're probably the best in the National Football League,

148
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 2: and running games up front and creating pressure and they

149
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 2: work very well together. It's something that we show our

150
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 2: guys every week. So I know that that's that will

151
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 2: be a big key in this game, is being able

152
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 2: to block those guys up front, and a lot of

153
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 2: guys with ball production on the back end.

154
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: I mean, Ernest.

155
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 2: Jones has has five interceptions, Kobe Bryant's got four.

156
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 1: A lot of guys get their hands on the football.

157
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 4: Mike, you had a lot of success here as a player.

158
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 4: You run almost a perfect season, and then the next

159
00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 4: there was another generation after that, another successful run with

160
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 4: the same head coach. Can you talk about the dynamic,

161
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 4: not so much that dynamic between the head coach and

162
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 4: the players, but you're the way you do things seems

163
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 4: to be a little different, and I'm wondering where that

164
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 4: came from. I mean, you've talked about you've taken from

165
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 4: other coaches over the years, but is there one particular

166
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 4: coach that has sort of led you to where you

167
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 4: are now, and it seems to be the one on

168
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 4: one relationships you have with players.

169
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 2: I mean, I think you try to have a core

170
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 2: belief in what you do, and I think you try

171
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:35,839
Speaker 2: to be consistent with that. But I think you also

172
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:41,079
Speaker 2: have to be you know, authentic. I mean, I think

173
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 2: they have to see you be upset, be disappointed, be sad,

174
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 2: you know, I mean, share personal experiences just you know, again,

175
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 2: I talk about how much time we spend together, and

176
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 2: so I think it just you know, it goes all

177
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 2: the way back to when you know, I mean, they

178
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 2: don't care how much you know until they know how

179
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 2: much you care. And so whatever we can do to

180
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 2: try to help them off the field grow as men.

181
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 2: I mean, there's a lot of a lot of great

182
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 2: guys in there that are husbands and fathers, and then

183
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:15,439
Speaker 2: they're also great players.

184
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:20,319
Speaker 1: So we just try to build the player the best

185
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 1: that we can.

186
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 4: Sorry, did that come from anywhere? Though?

187
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 1: Did you? A lot of places?

188
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 2: I played at Ohio State, I got drafted by the Steelers,

189
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,439
Speaker 2: A great organization came here for eight years, went to

190
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:34,079
Speaker 2: Kansas City, had great coaches there, worked at Ohio State,

191
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 2: worked for Bill O'Brien, worked at Tennessee.

192
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 1: You know what I mean.

193
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 2: So it's like if you just pay attention and focus.

194
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 2: I didn't live my whole life in one place, so

195
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 2: that's all I can tell you. I just try to

196
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 2: be me and sometimes that's good enough, sometimes it's not.

197
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 2: But I just to try to learn from every person

198
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 2: that every great coach that I've been around, and try

199
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 2: to make it my own style. When you start to

200
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 2: prepare for this game, and you will get Stu Darwald,

201
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 2: he said a few different stops around the league.

202
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:02,439
Speaker 4: How deep does.

203
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 1: Your staff look in terms of his film?

204
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 3: Is it about this year?

205
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 1: Is it about?

206
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 2: I mean, we haven't watched every game that they've played

207
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 2: this year yet, so they'll there'll be things that we'll

208
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 2: try to watch and see, and I mean, again it'll

209
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 2: be important that were sound. I mean, he's been very efficient,

210
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 2: and again, everybody's journey is different, and so you give

211
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 2: him a lot of credit for the places that he's

212
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 2: been and how he's learned and grown and certainly making

213
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:33,679
Speaker 2: the most of his opportunity.

214
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 1: Now, like you.

215
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 4: Mentioned a little bit earlier, I felt like you guys

216
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 4: had a good plan in place. Is the plan for

217
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 4: the game already sort of fully baked by you guys.

218
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:47,959
Speaker 2: No, no, I met plan as far as schedule logistics,

219
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 2: you know, I mean trying to get all that stuff

220
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 2: out of the way.

221
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 1: We'll work hard.

222
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 2: Today and tomorrow to continue to work on that and

223
00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 2: what we present to the players, and then that'll can

224
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 2: continue to build as we move on.

225
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 1: I know you mentioned them this morning, but respecting the

226
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: memoranda rights, just overall thought on Seattle, just how good

227
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 1: of an opponent are.

228
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 2: I mean, they're first in the league and scoring on defense,

229
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 2: third on offense, good mix of veterans, good mix of

230
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 2: veterans and and youth. And so anytime that you have

231
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 2: defenses that are you know good, it's you know, keeping

232
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 2: points down, it makes it real difficult.

233
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: So mm hmmm.

234
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:38,560
Speaker 2: They dis GUIs well, and they blitz and sometimes they

235
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 2: get pressure with rushing form and they got four or

236
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:46,439
Speaker 2: five guys with with six or seven sacks each, and uh,

237
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,680
Speaker 2: you know, offensively, it's a it's a mix of some

238
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 2: of the the West Coast stuff's play action, but then

239
00:11:55,240 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 2: just the scheme and Darnold's ability to operate function and

240
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 2: not many people slow down JSN. Kenneth Walker is just

241
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 2: the speed. He can hit the edge. He not afraid

242
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 2: to cut up. They got an excellent special teams unit.

243
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 2: That special teams is one of some football games you

244
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 2: know that broke it open against Atlanta six to six.

245
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 2: I think it's tied at halftime. He takes the opening

246
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 2: half kickoff. On the second half kickoff to the house.

247
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,680
Speaker 2: Defense gets a couple of turnovers and then it's a blowout.

248
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 2: So we're gonna have to be really good in all phases.

249
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 2: And but this is an excellent football team.

250
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 4: Grade your defense, just the progression of the defense, especially

251
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 4: through the first three rounds to playoffs, it seems they've

252
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 4: really come up strong.

253
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not much into the grades. It's good enough

254
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 2: for us to win, you know. I mean, I think

255
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 2: I always love the the draft grades and the O

256
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 2: line D line grades. I'm not much in the grades.

257
00:12:55,559 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 2: I'm just into the winning. The defense is a we

258
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,080
Speaker 2: have to play better again. We have to play better

259
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 2: than we played last week for us to win. So

260
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 2: as as guys have come back and again situationally and

261
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 2: whatever is presented to us, whether that's the short yard

262
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:17,440
Speaker 2: is stop or red zone stop, you know, those things

263
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 2: will have to continue to improve. The the red zone

264
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 2: has been better in the playoffs, but I mean again

265
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 2: it's only as the matter is what happens the next Sunday,

266
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 2: And we.

267
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 3: Can't ask you about every individual performance, you know, performance

268
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 3: in the game, but always made a little Cambell's performance

269
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 3: the first two reached the.

270
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 1: Playoffs, how do you feel like he held up on Sunday?

271
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 1: You play better?

272
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 2: I guess the really good, uh, really good rusher and uh, well,

273
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:48,320
Speaker 2: we'll need to keep improving and excited that he has

274
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:49,320
Speaker 2: another week to do.

275
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 1: Would you find would you find like the Dons sensive scheme?

276
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 1: I would say multiple. I'd say, you know, multiple has.

277
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 2: The ability to play you know, post safety zone, play,

278
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 2: play some some split safety concepts and then also pressure you.

279
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 2: So I think that they they've got everything in the bag.

280
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 2: It just depends on what they want to use and do.

281
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 2: And you again, looks like they don't have many busts

282
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 2: and that guy's running free a lot, have the ability

283
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 2: to play man and man.

284
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 1: Kind of move the safeties around.

285
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 2: Again, however they want down in the box and you know,

286
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 2: you got a lot of good chess pieces that they utilize.

287
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 1: Mutter obviously from that safety.

288
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, and again he's got his own flavor and but

289
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 2: there's a you know, a background, and there's only so

290
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 2: many places you could put eleven guys.

291
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 1: But they they work, They work really well together.

292
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 2: From an adjustments when teams motion and and shift and

293
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 2: do all those things, you don't see a whole lot

294
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 2: of panic.

295
00:14:56,600 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 3: I've met Evans, your assistant director of College sky keeping

296
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 3: any interactions with him, Just what's been like working with them,

297
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 3: and if not, just what the college scouting Department's doing

298
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 3: right now with the senior goal balancing that sports seas.

299
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, they're in they're in Mobile, you know what

300
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 2: I mean. Everybody has a job to do. You know,

00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:17,560

Speaker 2: year and our first draft together and appreciate his input

303

Speaker 2: everybody and that that staff and that department.

305
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 1: So there'll be they went to Dallas.

306
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 2: And then they go on to Mobile and they have

307
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 2: their responsibility that they have to focus on, which is

308
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 2: a player evaluation for the draft. So you know, we

309

Speaker 2: We gain just enough and again we practice things throughout

317
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 2: the year and try to have it ready to go.

318
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 2: But yeah, anybody that can help us out there, Tonga

319
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 2: mil anybody that we could use. So hopefully, you know,

320
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 2: we can continue to pick up some short yardage situations.

321
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 2: How critical that is, you know, especially in the red zone.

322
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 3: If you've kept your personal energy go, you can spend

323
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 3: a lot in relationships with your family, players and media, engage, spend.

324
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 1: A lot of time.

325
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 3: How have you kept your twenty games in the season,

326
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 3: twenty three in the act season?

327
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 2: I mean, I think you just kind of get caught

328
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:45,479
Speaker 2: up in this thing and you do what's necessary.

329
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 1: I think you kind of just do what you feel

330
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 1: like you need to do when you need to do it.

331
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 2: And sometimes you got to trick yourself, and sometimes you

332
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 2: got to put on a happy face, and you know,

333
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 2: sometimes you got to close the door for fifteen minutes

334
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 2: and not be happy and then come out and and.

335
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 1: Be Johnny Carson. But it does.

336
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:08,640
Speaker 2: The more than I'm around the players, I would say,

337
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 2: the easier that it gets. They they they have responded

338
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 2: to us, they've they've done everything we've asked them to do,

339
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:19,919
Speaker 2: and so that I think it being around the players helps.

340
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:22,879
Speaker 2: And again we had a lot more time to spend

341
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 2: together this week and then the next week in San Francisco.

342
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 1: Thanks guys,
