1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,440
Speaker 1: A couple of questions. The first of them like a

2
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:06,240
Speaker 1: football sort of coaching questions relative to the D line,

3
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:08,640
Speaker 1: and I'm thinking back to a play. I think Lawrence

4
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:12,840
Speaker 1: is pretty upset about getting called for that penalty on Sunday,

5
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 1: and like the challenge that can correct me if I'm wrong,

6
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,439
Speaker 1: The challenge that those defensive linemens get in when they're

7
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 1: rushing and it can something can be perceived as a

8
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 1: hold when you know it might be hand fighting relative

9
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 1: to like a pass rushing situation. Can you share your

10
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:32,200
Speaker 1: perspective on what you see in those situations and how

11
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: you guys coaches, So these guys are affective with the technique, Yeah, absolutely,

12
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 1: I think defensive lineman in general, you know, the hole

13
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 1: against offensive lineman's a lot of one on one battles.

14
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 1: But also you know, each particularly play has a different

15
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:51,240
Speaker 1: set of circumstances and LG's probably been able to play

16
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:53,239
Speaker 1: at a very high level. I would say Danny and

17
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 1: ab and Feature concluded in that grouping is just because

18
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 1: they play really well with their hands. We try to

19
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 1: get as much separation as we can, and those guys

20
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 1: have been able to do that throughout the course of

21
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 1: the year. When they have success. It's really been a

22
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: direct result of that. So you know, the schemes that

23
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 1: we teach and the technology, the techniques that we use

24
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:16,400
Speaker 1: are all well within the rule book. But obviously Lawrence

25
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: is not happy with that call. I don't think any

26
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,399
Speaker 1: player when he's like for a file will ever have

27
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: any It's really in that moment, and that's when those

28
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 1: moments come out. Yeah, and then, Um, I was just

29
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 1: thinking about you in the time of year we are

30
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: on the calendar, and I'm sorry I lost you, Mike

31
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:45,199
Speaker 1: in terms of your own situation relatives to the whole

32
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 1: coaching cycle and whether you go back to college and

33
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: stuff like that. I lost the questionnaire a little bit.

34
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: I think you're just asked about big picture for me,

35
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: um in the coaching the world now, is that? Is

36
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 1: that right? I think we lost him. Sorry, Well, I'm

37
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: sure he'll call back in. We'll go to Michael and

38
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,920
Speaker 1: we'll go back to Mike Grief. Sorry about that. Go

39
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: ahead and Michael Jack all right, Stacy, thank you morning, Brett.

40
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:19,119
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask him about the morning. The mentality

41
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 1: of a pass rusher on the defensive line when you're

42
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: um facing a guy like Joe Mixon, who Bill earlier

43
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: this morning and a call said, that is a very

44
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 1: tough guy to get especially you know, has a lot

45
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 1: of power through the line of scrimmage. Um, what do

46
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: you coach you guys in terms of when you face

47
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,920
Speaker 1: a UM, a guy with a tremendous amount of leverage

48
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 1: like Mixon. Yeah, he's a very talented player and a

49
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: very easy to see him film. Um, you know preparation

50
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: that you know he has one. We face a lot

51
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 1: of great backs in this way, but I would say

52
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 1: he stands out because he has ability to break tackles.

53
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: He's powable, but he also has a very quick burst.

54
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,040
Speaker 1: The things that they do with him to freemo with

55
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage in between the tackles. But then

56
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 1: he has to go to get the edge. So as

57
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,359
Speaker 1: in the case kind of week a week, you got

58
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: to play with ands funding here, you got to do

59
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 1: your job as a defensive lineman or whether it's set

60
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 1: in an edge or or playing a two gap technique,

61
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: whatever it is. Everybody has to be on high alert,

62
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: and Mason creates a lot of a lot of issues

63
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: just because you do everything right and you have to

64
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 1: go to make a play. Um, you have still got

65
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 1: to get him down and that's that's the unique challenge

66
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 1: of him. Great, thank you. Yeah, next question Jim McBride

67
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: and and we'll go to my weeks after that. Jim Morning,

68
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: Morning coach. Um, I want to ask you about a

69
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: conversation you had with with Jerome Bogger on the sideline

70
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 1: during the game Sunday. You know, Um, you were showing

71
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: him your tablet, just wondering what was going on there

72
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: and kind of generally are the rest receptive for those

73
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: types of conversations during the game. Well, yeah, all I

74
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 1: did is that you know, when when anything of it

75
00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: is called during the course of the game, I just

76
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: want to get clarification just so we don't repeat the

77
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 1: same mistake, and that I didn't, I might just have

78
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: it on my hand. I don't believe they can look

79
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 1: at it, um, But all was I was doing is

80
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 1: just to make sure that whatever was called, that we

81
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: have a full understanding of it as as a coach,

82
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: so I can relay it to my players. And then

83
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,600
Speaker 1: obviously the ending result is that once of those things

84
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: have happened, we don't want them to happen again. So

85
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,359
Speaker 1: I was just asking for clarification, and I think we

86
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: had it. Thank you. Yes, we're back. We'll go back

87
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: to Mike Reef. No, I think it was my fault, prector,

88
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: because I think it was a bad question, you know,

89
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,799
Speaker 1: like so he just gets right of drop right out.

90
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:41,159
Speaker 1: You know, Oh, I don't know something about coaching, it was,

91
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: And I was more I was curious, just like, given

92
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 1: where we are in the coaching calendar, you're starting to

93
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:49,479
Speaker 1: see like some college jobs open and get filled, and

94
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 1: you have a background in college, it's obviously your second

95
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: year here. I was more curious of how you're enjoying

96
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:58,279
Speaker 1: NFL life and where you see your situation right now

97
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: relative to what you want. I want to do. Yeah,

98
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: you know, I've been in college football for twenty five years.

99
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: Had been exposed to the NFL just through you know,

100
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: players being drafted in the value way. That's when my

101
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: first relationship started with close Beltiac. You know, going back

102
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: clear to the Kirk Parents University of Iowa's been a

103
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 1: big fan of how he did things. Um, he drafted

104
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,280
Speaker 1: a lot of our players when I was at Wisconsin

105
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: and Arkansas, and you know, I always kind of do

106
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 1: that he had an affection for our guys. But when

107
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:26,359
Speaker 1: I got in the building here and was able to

108
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,840
Speaker 1: work with him and under him, just to learn that

109
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 1: qualities that he brings, the things that he believes in

110
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 1: or talked to me early on through Kirk you know,

111
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 1: Kirking him had a long relationship and I've heard some

112
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 1: of these same things before. And then to come into

113
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 1: building here, it's been been absolutely awesome. I enjoyed my

114
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 1: time here, love it. I got an absolutely awesome room

115
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:48,919
Speaker 1: to work with Danny lg A. Bum Patrick, you know,

116
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: during the course of the year, to work with Michael Um.

117
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: Just really enjoying my time. But you know, those those

118
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:58,479
Speaker 1: college opportunities have come along. I've got some interest, you know.

119
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 1: And the thing that I realized every day as I

120
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: love this profession. You know, I think early on I

121
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 1: was at a Chinese restaurant, got a fortunate cookie had

122
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: said confusus, say, who's a job you love? You'll never

123
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: work at day in your life, And that's exactly how

124
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 1: I feel. Open in this business for over twenty five

125
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 1: years now, and it was a head coach at the

126
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:18,480
Speaker 1: age of thirty two, so I was really young when

127
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: I got it. But whenever that opportunity comes again, it'll

128
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 1: be great, but I'm just enjoying a moment going to

129
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 1: work every day and learn from one of the best

130
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: that's ever coaches game. So it's truly a blessing. Thank you, Chris,

131
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: Thank you
