1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,200
Speaker 1: We never had to ask a Giants defensive coordinator what

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:05,960
Speaker 1: it's like to gate plan and face Sakoon Barkley.

3
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:09,119
Speaker 2: So you go the first Yeah, I mean, I've had

4
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:11,039
Speaker 2: experience in playing with him.

5
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:11,879
Speaker 3: Explosive.

6
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 2: If you give him space, he finds it. It's made

7
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:19,439
Speaker 2: teams pay already this season on that got the ability

8
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:22,599
Speaker 2: to make the home run, hit the home run every

9
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:26,279
Speaker 2: time he has the ball in his hands. So we

10
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 2: got to be disciplined, We got to do a good job.

11
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 2: We got to get hats to the party.

12
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:31,160
Speaker 3: It's gonna be tough bringing them down with one guy.

13
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:33,519
Speaker 3: Big challenge for us.

14
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:36,559
Speaker 4: You you weren't here obviously with him, but do you

15
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 4: at some point address your players and kind of tell

16
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 4: them that, you know, do you want to tell him

17
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 4: it's personal or you want to tell him it's not person.

18
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:45,239
Speaker 3: You don't know.

19
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 2: That's status quote. For us, it's week to week. It's

20
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 2: another good player that we're playing again. They got good

21
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 2: receivers on the outside. Another it's another team. Another big

22
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 2: challenge for us. We gotta be ready to go regardless

23
00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 2: of who it is. Obviously they got their history with

24
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 2: them here, but I'm getting trying to do my best

25
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 2: to keep them focused, keep us focused on the job

26
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 2: at hand, and us us worrying about us and doing

27
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 2: our job and being prepared and ready to go.

28
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 5: Just to go back to Sunday night, Can you just

29
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 5: take us to the play call on the borrow scramble

30
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:16,959
Speaker 5: and what broke down after this?

31
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I shouldn't have called it so me,

32
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 2: I should have made a better play call there third

33
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 2: and long, kind of that fringe field goal territory. He

34
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 2: got out, tough call, he got out, ran forty seven yards.

35
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 2: We didn't catch him before he got to the end zone.

36
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 5: What did you see from his ease on Sunday and

37
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 5: the way the front was able to kind of work together.

38
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, he did a good job.

39
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 2: That's the expectation, right, these guys, they get their opportunities

40
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 2: to make most of them be ready to go day in,

41
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 2: day out. Never know when that opportunity is going to arise.

42
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 2: I thought he showed up. He made plays for us,

43
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 2: He was active, he was winning, he was getting off

44
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 2: the ball. I felt his speed out there at hacking

45
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 2: the line of scrimmage. Really pleased with him and being

46
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 2: ready to go and showing up when we needed them.

47
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 4: What do you feel has been the key to your

48
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 4: guys progress on the defensive side of the ball.

49
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 2: I think we're continuing to learn, continuing to improve, guys

50
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 2: playing with each other other. We have some continuity now. Finally,

51
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,920
Speaker 2: for the most part, early on it was shuffling deck

52
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:26,799
Speaker 2: chairs a little bit, especially in the back end.

53
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:28,919
Speaker 3: The guys are working.

54
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 2: They're working hard day in and day out, big emphasis

55
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 2: on fundamentals. I see those improving week to week, continuing

56
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 2: to play the next play. I think there's a lot

57
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 2: to it. But the guys are playing hard and they're

58
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 2: making plays when we need to make plays.

59
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 3: For the most part, they're showing up. So hopefully we

60
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 3: can continue that.

61
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 5: What's the key depending the Toush push, I don't know.

62
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 2: There's been a lot of different a lot of different

63
00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 2: attempts at it, and I don't think many people have been

64
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 2: very successful. So I think the key is to not

65
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 2: get him in third and one.

66
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,519
Speaker 3: You have texta lawrence. Hopefully that helps.

67
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 5: What have you seen from the aston Phillies offense this

68
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 5: year beyond what they're able to do?

69
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean Aj missed that time. He's back now

70
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 2: obviously that's a big part of their offense. He showed

71
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 2: up last week against Cleveland. I think the quarterback, the

72
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,639
Speaker 2: ability to run the football is always there with him.

73
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 2: You got to do a good job there. Obviously for us,

74
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 2: we've struggled with some of these guys running the ball

75
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,639
Speaker 2: on us right my own critical downs and third down.

76
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 2: We're gonna have to a good job trying to keep

77
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 2: him in the pocket and hopefully he doesn't get out

78
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 2: and hurt us with his legs in the passing game.

79
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 2: But they're talented. They're going to find ways to get

80
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 2: the playmakers the ball. They got a lot of them

81
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 2: over there. We're gonna have to do a good job

82
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 2: being locked in. Like it's a little bit different animal

83
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 2: because of the run game, what they can do in

84
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 2: the run game, how they're structured up front, obviously with Saquan,

85
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 2: and then you add in adding those guys on the perimeter,

86
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 2: it's a little bit different animal. And some of these

87
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 2: other teams we've faced up to this point.

88
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 6: You have to rush a guy like Hurtz to contain

89
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 6: rather than pin your ears back.

90
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, as a thought, always with some of

91
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 2: these guys, there's you rush for, there's usually two gaps

92
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 2: open you rush by. There's usually one gap open, you

93
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 2: rush six. You got them all field for the most part,

94
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 2: So I mean that always goes goes into.

95
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 3: The thought process a little bit of it.

96
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 2: I think just the coordination, being able to feel off guys,

97
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 2: make guys right in their rushes, making sure we're not

98
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 2: just running behind them and opening these big b gap

99
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 2: escape lanes and putting stress on the inside guys that

100
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 2: kind of handle two gaps. I think just the coordination,

101
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,280
Speaker 2: the execution, those guys being able to play off each

102
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 2: other is a big part of it. When you're rushing four.

103
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:46,279
Speaker 3: On the back end.

104
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 6: You know early on in the year, like you said,

105
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 6: the shuffle in the deck chairs, it seems like now,

106
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 6: especially last week, you have a comfort level as to

107
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,599
Speaker 6: what the guys can do, even interchanging guys and certain

108
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 6: you know, flock coming out of door, coming in on

109
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 6: the outside.

110
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 3: On third down.

111
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,720
Speaker 6: How comfortable are you right now with what you've got

112
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:06,599
Speaker 6: going on in the back end? You feel like you

113
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 6: could be more schematically oriented because you have the pieces

114
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 6: to kind.

115
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:12,719
Speaker 1: Of move around there.

116
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a good question. I think the biggest thing.

117
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 2: Obviously Rome and Mike have been working with those guys

118
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 2: really hard, day in day out but you've seen improvement

119
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 2: not just out here, but you've seen it on Sunday

120
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 2: and going out there making plays, not having the errors

121
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 2: that get us in trouble, understanding the little things that

122
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 2: come into play with playing those positions in whatever scheme

123
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 2: we're in, because there's a lot of details between play

124
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 2: and zone, between play and match, between playing man that

125
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 2: come into play for those guys that they got to

126
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 2: be able to handle. I think they're going out there

127
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,479
Speaker 2: and doing it right now, so my confidence is really

128
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 2: high with them.

129
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 3: They got to do it every week.

130
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 2: We've had a lot of big challenges here early, especially

131
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 2: with them, and some of these receivers got obviously this

132
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,039
Speaker 2: week too, but continue to come out here and work

133
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 2: every day, be locked in in the meeting room, learn

134
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,239
Speaker 2: communicate is a huge part of that as well, involving

135
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 2: the safeties, involving the nickel again with a young group.

136
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 2: I think that's that's a piece that we continue that

137
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 2: we have to push the envelope with with us. But

138
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 2: got a lot of confidence in those guys right now

139
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 2: and hopefully they continue to play well for us and

140
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 2: allow us to be a little bit more versatile with

141
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 2: what we can do.

142
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,480
Speaker 1: Pretty much in any defense or any defensive coordinator. At

143
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 1: some point if they think they're playing well, you know,

144
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: just a game or two where the offense doesn't score

145
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 1: a lot of points, you know when they could be

146
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 1: frustration and things like that.

147
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 3: You know you've obviously seen that in your career.

148
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 4: How do you discuss that with your your guys and everything.

149
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, believe me, we got enough in our

150
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 2: house to worry about. I promise you. I mean there's

151
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 2: there's four plays that really changed the game for them

152
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 2: that we gave up, Like whether there was the forty

153
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,359
Speaker 2: seven yard scramble where there was the third and twelve

154
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 2: he got out of the pocket, whether it's the very

155
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 2: first third and six and he scrambled for the first down. Right,

156
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 2: So I mean there's place place for us. We're always coaching,

157
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 2: always like we got enough to worry about and focus

158
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 2: on making sure our guys are ready to go and

159
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 2: can play, and again just just doing our part, make

160
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 2: plays when they're there, find ways to change the game

161
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,119
Speaker 2: when we have the opportunities to change the game. And

162
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 2: we got to create more turnovers like that's that's part

163
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 2: of it too, right, Like create some turnovers and being

164
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 2: able to set some things up. But we got we

165
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 2: got enough to worry about, believe me, especially week to

166
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 2: week with some of these teams. Were playing with this

167
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 2: Eagles team, we're playing this weekend.

168
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: And when you were in Tennessee with AJ Brown, what

169
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: what did you see about?

170
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 3: Like?

171
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 5: What what's the reason he is one of the best

172
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 5: receivers in the league.

173
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 1: How did he turn himself into that?

174
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's strong, He's really really good with the ball

175
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 2: in his hands. He's tough to bring down, probably one

176
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 2: of the better catching run guys in the league. Like

177
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 2: if he has space and he's full steam ahead, it's

178
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 2: it's it's tough to get.

179
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 3: Him on the ground.

180
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 2: The ball skills down the field, being able to adjust

181
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 2: his body, find ways the shield receivers really really good hands.

182
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 2: And I think just just from year one to year

183
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 2: two down there, he took some major strides and and

184
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 2: becoming who he is today. And he's obviously progressed even

185
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 2: more in his time in Philly. But the thing that

186
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 2: really stands out to me is just just to play strength.

187
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 2: That's something we got to be ready for. We got

188
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,959
Speaker 2: to be able to match and handle a lot of times.

189
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 5: You're obviously coming new to this matchup. A lot of

190
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 5: these players on your side of playing at their plays.

191
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 5: How much did you go back to the past matchups

192
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 5: to baby borrow some things that more effective?

193
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, you watch, you watch all that stuff, especially going

194
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:52,079
Speaker 2: back to last year. Again it's it's hit or miss,

195
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 2: Like I think they pulled a few guys early in

196
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 2: that second game last year.

197
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:59,079
Speaker 3: So but you go back, you you watch all the stuff.

198
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 2: So he kind of what has worked against them, what

199
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 2: has struggled against them, whether it's the Giants or whether

200
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 2: it's any of these other teams. Right, just trying to

201
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 2: get some ideas and see what can maybe hit us

202
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 2: right in terms of scheme, what what fits us in

203
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 2: that that regard. But some of the personnel matchups, right,

204
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 2: if there's some crossover there, some of the personnel matchups,

205
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 2: I think I think that's something we study. Hopefully our

206
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 2: players are studying that also
