1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:02,360
Speaker 1: So today has been a little bit split day for us.

2
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:05,160
Speaker 1: Yesterday was a player's day off. Uh. This morning we

3
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:07,680
Speaker 1: spent most of our time recap and cleaning up and correcting,

4
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:11,320
Speaker 1: you know, things from the game. On Monday night, we

5
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 1: shifted after a lunch break, and this afternoon has really

6
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:16,799
Speaker 1: been on Wednesday for so we've introduced the Bears to

7
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:18,799
Speaker 1: our players, who focused a lot on the personnel they

8
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:21,440
Speaker 1: early down some of the early down situations. With these guys,

9
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:23,599
Speaker 1: we'll get on the field Today will really be more

10
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 1: of a walk through day. With a short week, we

11
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 1: gotta have to have good mental intensity and good attention

12
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 1: to detail. We'll hit the field tomorrow and Friday. Really

13
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 1: being a you know, more of a full tempo pays

14
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 1: for us to get some timing with the execution. You know,

15
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 1: i'd say obviously this week playing to Chicago Bears, you

16
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 1: talk about the Bears, you gotta talk about the history

17
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:42,519
Speaker 1: of the league, you know, starting with George House and

18
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 1: going to the McCaskey family. Look, these are really some

19
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,559
Speaker 1: of the good people in the world of football. You know,

20
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,240
Speaker 1: all of us are very beneficial to what they did

21
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 1: through their family business to allow the NFL to develop

22
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 1: along with Wellington Mara really getting this league jump started.

23
00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 1: You know, our players and coaches, we took time this

24
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: morning really review they've done for the league and for

25
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 1: each one of us individually, But we had this opportunity.

26
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 1: That being said, the current Bears, look, this is an

27
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: explosive team. Coach has done a great job Ryan Pace

28
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 1: of building this team with a lot of explosive players.

29
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: On offense, they have multiple weapons. They use their players

30
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,680
Speaker 1: in very inventive ways. They do a great job mixing

31
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 1: a lot of personnel groups along with tempo and quick substitutions.

32
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 1: We've got to make sure that we're very tentive and

33
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: tune to the game to match the speed that they're

34
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 1: going to present. They present opponents with a lot of

35
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: issues with their fast motions, going across the formation, changing

36
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 1: the strength, and then also looking to find ways to

37
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:36,400
Speaker 1: get favorable matchups their skill guys. Obviously, it starts in

38
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,199
Speaker 1: their offense with Drabinsky. This guy makes a lot of plays.

39
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 1: It starts with his feet in the run in the

40
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 1: past game. You've got to find a way to eliminate

41
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,479
Speaker 1: this guy from extending plays. He's a talented quarterback, He's

42
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 1: a tough dude. He sits in there, he's not afraid

43
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: to take a head. He delivers a tough ball. And

44
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: then you go through their skill set right there, you know,

45
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 1: starting with their backs. You know, whether it's Montgomery, whether

46
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: it's Cohen, whether it's Patterson. Right there, who's really that

47
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 1: kind of unique, kind of blended that receiver run them back.

48
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 1: He runs the ball like a returner in space. He's big,

49
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: he's deceptively strong. He runs through warm tackles. We do

50
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: a good job wrapping these guys up and getting into

51
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: the ground. They're a tough group with do a good

52
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:11,959
Speaker 1: job in space against these guys, you know, in the

53
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 1: receiving corps. Obviously it starts with Robinson. This guy's dynamic.

54
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: He's really their go to guy. We've got to find

55
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: this guy. They do a great job of mixing him around,

56
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 1: moving him, creating opportunities for this guy. But he's proved

57
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,639
Speaker 1: over time while he's one the top in the league.

58
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: You know, you go through the tight end position. Jimmy

59
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: Grahant has been a huge addition for this team. Offensively.

60
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 1: He brings a lot of experience, he brings that big

61
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,239
Speaker 1: target and this guy when he gets moving, you know,

62
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 1: his extended strides to tear up a lot of ground

63
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: pretty fast. So you know they've got a good, talented

64
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: offensive line. They play very tough. You know, it's a

65
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: Chicago team. You know it's gonna be a physical game

66
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 1: to start with on both sides of the ball. You know,

67
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 1: hitting their defense right away. I mean the edge players

68
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 1: definitely jump out of you quindin play last week. We

69
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:53,679
Speaker 1: know the talent that he is. We have coaches in

70
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: the building who have had personal experience with him, obviously

71
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,239
Speaker 1: from his days in Dallas. You know, you go through Mac.

72
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,399
Speaker 1: I mean, this guy's just he's one of the top

73
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 1: of the league for a reason. He's got a high motor,

74
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: is very productive, He's explosive oft the edge. He gives

75
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 1: a lot of issues. You go through the size players

76
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: inside with Hicks and some of the other guys. Their

77
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 1: ability to push the pocket and really you know, gap

78
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: up the inside against the inside run. They do a

79
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: tremendous job. You know, the backers of Smith and Traviathi

80
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: and these guys are dynamic. They're good and pass rush

81
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:22,399
Speaker 1: and they do a good job filling in space out

82
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: for the runs. And then on the back end they

83
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: got a very talented secondary, you know, with the corners

84
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 1: of Fuller makes a lot of optistic plays, and obviously

85
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: Jackson's an opportunistic player who has been able to go

86
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 1: ahead and capitalize a lot of mistakes by opponents. And

87
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: then you can't forget special teams. Look, they do a

88
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: great job of really controlling the field position and creating

89
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 1: opportunities for their offense. They have two elite returners, you know,

90
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: coming back there on punt returns. Everybody's at the point

91
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 1: of attack every time this guy gets the ball. He's dynamic,

92
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: he's explosive, he can make a home run play in

93
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: any play. And Patterson's one of the best to ever

94
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: play the game as a kick returner. I mean, simply put,

95
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: this guy's just someone that you know, you'll read about

96
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: history books, and when you play against this guy, everybody

97
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: on the field better be aware of where he's at

98
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: its offense or on special teams. And he's done a

99
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: tremendous job covering kicks. I've had personal experience with CP

100
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: for my days somewhere else, and you know, he's just

101
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: a pleasure to coach. He's a fun competitor to be around.

102
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: He's just good for the locker room. So they've got

103
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 1: a great dynamic on their team, their coach very well. Obviously,

104
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: Laser is gonna add you know, from his experience of

105
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,160
Speaker 1: run the tempo and upbeat offenses, along with a lot

106
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: of the motion and change of strength formations he's done

107
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 1: in the past, that will only add to their offense

108
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: and what they're able to do. We have some experience

109
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 1: against him, and he's had a lot of success against

110
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: us in different places, so we've got to make sure

111
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 1: we prepare this week. It's gonna be very tough matchup

112
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: for us. That being said, I'll open up to any

113
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 1: questions you guys have at this point. I wondered if

114
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,359
Speaker 1: there was a play that number seventeen Anthony Miller made

115
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 1: in the Bears opener that that stood out to you.

116
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 1: And then also just what your impressions of Drawinsky were

117
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter railing after a whole home performance

118
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 1: before that. You know what, I'll tell you what forget

119
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 1: about the first half of Drabinsky, because look, I've seen

120
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 1: this guy in live action before, and the one thing

121
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 1: I remember about Mitch is this guy's competitor. Okay, this

122
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 1: guy's a tough dude. Uh, he can extend plays. He

123
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: can make him with his feet running, He'll run through contact.

124
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:08,719
Speaker 1: And he's also the guy you've got to keep on

125
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 1: covering throughout the duration of down because when you think

126
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 1: he's running, that's when he finds the open receiver and

127
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,039
Speaker 1: gets it down the field. He's done that throughout his

128
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: career right there, so you can never fall asleep on him.

129
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,159
Speaker 1: He's definitely a dynamic player. Uh. He finds different ways

130
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: of making plays a lot of times, maybe unconventionally, but

131
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: he's an effective player local Miller's on the field. One

132
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 1: thing that stands out about him right away is this

133
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,279
Speaker 1: dude plays with a high motor. You can't find a

134
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: snap on the field with this guy and going all

135
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: right zero to sixty and two steps. I mean he

136
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 1: plays fast. He plays explosive. So we could sit here

137
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: and talk about any one snap. I'm talking to our

138
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:41,919
Speaker 1: players about every snap because you better bring it on

139
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,600
Speaker 1: every snap. He's on the field and you blink, he's

140
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 1: walking by her right there. How different than the Bears

141
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 1: look in Week one schematically than maybe you guys had

142
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 1: seen in previous years. I know they have new coaches,

143
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 1: but it seemed like they were under center a lot

144
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: more than we've seen them. Well, I think the one

145
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:00,719
Speaker 1: thing he has to keep in mind this team is,

146
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 1: you know, game by game they're gonna find different ways

147
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:04,839
Speaker 1: of matching you up and giving you different headaches. They're

148
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:08,039
Speaker 1: never gonna stay in one standard formation or one standard look.

149
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 1: So when you play the Bears, you have to understand

150
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,719
Speaker 1: how they think, how they you know, the philosophy and offense,

151
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: how they want to attack you, and then as the

152
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 1: game goes on, you have to find out their approach

153
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 1: to what they're really looking to do to the game

154
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: plan wise, look all those guys that have worked on

155
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 1: a Randy, He's one of the all time greats of

156
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: having a game plan but then adjusting within the game.

157
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,840
Speaker 1: You know. Obviously Maggie's you know, learned a whole lot

158
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 1: from him, and it shows up every game on tape.

159
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: So I don't think you can really look at these

160
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:34,719
Speaker 1: guys in a one tape sample and say this is

161
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,159
Speaker 1: what their identity is. Their identity is gonna be whatever

162
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 1: it takes to beat you. Tiki Barber said something today

163
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 1: about how until Sacon Barkley improves his past protection, he

164
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 1: doesn't see him as an every down back or something.

165
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: It's what where is state Queen in terms of where

166
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 1: he needs to be in terms of improving as a

167
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,279
Speaker 1: past protector. I know that was a big talking point

168
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 1: come in into the year, and I guess what do

169
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 1: you think about someone saying those comments about your your player. Look,

170
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 1: we're all working hard every day to get better and

171
00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: everything we do. You know, we're coming out of training camp,

172
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:01,599
Speaker 1: we got in game under our belt. There's not a

173
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:03,279
Speaker 1: player a coach on our team that doesn't have to

174
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: improve going into week two and then consistently throughout the season.

175
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:08,279
Speaker 1: You know, we've got to go ahead and make up

176
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 1: some ground quickly. But we have confidence and all of

177
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 1: our players. We're gonna work on every technique we have

178
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: to in all aspects of the game. You know, Look,

179
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 1: people pay a price to watch us play. Everyone's opinion

180
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 1: is valid if they're a fan. Okay, We've got to

181
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: make sure on the inside we understand what we're doing

182
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 1: and then we prioritize what we have to work on.

183
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: But I respect Tiki obviously, this guy who knows the

184
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 1: game has been a great player for this organization. You know,

185
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 1: But we're gonna go ahead and make sure we get

186
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 1: everybody rising up. Well, I'm sure when you look back

187
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: and analyze se Kwan, you studied every part of his game,

188
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 1: including you know, the way he runs the ball, the

189
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 1: way catches the ball, and the way he protects the quarterback.

190
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 1: What did you see then from his first two years

191
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 1: and what did you see Monday night? Well, I think

192
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 1: I saw a small sample of what Sa Kwan is gonna,

193
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 1: you know, be able to do. But we've got to

194
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 1: do some things to help Say Kwan throughout the game.

195
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 1: He's a he's a key part of our team. He's

196
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: an integral part of our offense. So look, we're gonna

197
00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 1: keep feeding him the ball and he's gonna make some

198
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: plays for us. I'm happy with the way he works.

199
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: I'm very pleased with his attitude. Okay, as a team

200
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 1: first guy that brings everybody along with him. And look,

201
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 1: all of our players had the mentality of whatever we

202
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: have to do to be successful, and sometimes our own

203
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: individual success comes off being someone who helps somebody else

204
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 1: make plays in that. So you know, please with sake

205
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 1: k one right now. Thanks, Joe. Leonard Williams had a

206
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 1: sack the other night. I'm curious how he played on

207
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 1: the tape because it's been a big talking point for

208
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 1: him about getting home to the quarterback. And then the

209
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,839
Speaker 1: way you guys played defense. Some of your defensive lineman

210
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 1: only played about percent of the snaps. Is that's something

211
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 1: you plan to do regularly well. Each game will call

212
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: for different game plans. Rod, So the other night it

213
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 1: was definitely a key point for us to have a

214
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 1: fresh defensive line early in the season. We have some

215
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:55,439
Speaker 1: talented guys in the front. You know, you want to

216
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: bring your best players at the game and keep your

217
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 1: strength strong. You know, let's say, in terms of Leo,

218
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 1: it's health. Look, he's really had a good camp force.

219
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 1: He came out, he was productive the other night. This

220
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,199
Speaker 1: guy is playing with a lot of energy and enthusiasm.

221
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. He's fun to be around because

222
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 1: you can tell he really loves the game. He's a

223
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 1: great teammate, he's a great guy to coach. I enjoyed

224
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 1: being around him. He's fun to be around a daily basis.

225
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 1: But he was obviously productive the other night, and I

226
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 1: we're gonna keep working to see if we cant help

227
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 1: him out a little bit more. And Joe, we didn't

228
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:25,959
Speaker 1: get to ask you this yesterday. I don't think were

229
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: there any injuries coming out of Monday night's game that

230
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 1: we should be aware of, you know, generally speaking, Pat,

231
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,559
Speaker 1: we came out pretty healthy. Um. Yeah, I'm gonna check

232
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 1: with the trainers. I'm expecting, for the most part, to

233
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 1: have everybody on the field today. It's a walk through

234
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 1: type practice that doesn't really dictate the show anything long

235
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 1: term wise, but generally speaking, we're pretty healthy. I'm gonna

236
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:44,599
Speaker 1: check Ronnie before I go ahead and speak out with

237
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: the injury report coming out later on. Okay, I also

238
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 1: wanted to ask you about there are a couple of

239
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 1: times in the game on Monday where a tight end

240
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 1: was assigned one on one blocking and edge and maybe

241
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,599
Speaker 1: didn't work out the way you guys wanted. Is that

242
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 1: something you're okay with scheming up and those guys need

243
00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 1: to take care of those responsibilities sometimes, or would you

244
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 1: rather not put certain players in certain situations like that.

245
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 1: I couldn't really give you a blanket answer right there,

246
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 1: pack because every game is gonna be a little bit different. Obviously,

247
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 1: there's talented guys on the edge for every team here.

248
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 1: Last week against Pittsburgh, that game is behind us now,

249
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: but we've got similar talent on the edge of this week,

250
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 1: different players, but both very dynamic, very explosive. You can

251
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: change the game fast. So again, based on some of

252
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 1: the way some of the calls that come out or

253
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 1: some of the checks, they may change some alignments. You know,

254
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 1: whatever we asked to do, we get very to execute,

255
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 1: and as coaches we have to make sure we put

256
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 1: our players in positions of strength. There was a couple

257
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: of times the other night where your cornerbacks, I guess

258
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 1: brad Berry and Homes have happened a couple of times

259
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: where they sort of ran the pick play and they

260
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 1: kind of ran into each other and didn't get it,

261
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 1: didn't get around, and we're looking around at each other.

262
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 1: How do you coach that moving forward to make sure

263
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 1: that's fixing? Well, what's what are the talking points to

264
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 1: make sure that that doesn't happen consistently? Well, for us,

265
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 1: it's just about the technique based on different coverages, and

266
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:56,440
Speaker 1: obviously we have rules that you know, we want to

267
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 1: prevent these guys from we're having collisions. The goal of

268
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 1: the offense and those rub routes is to create that

269
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 1: contact right there on the defensive players to free yourself up.

270
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: These are things we've already talked to and address with

271
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 1: the players. We're working on that throughout the week in practice.

272
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 1: This team is gonna be a team has a lot

273
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,559
Speaker 1: of rubb routes, a lot of the misdirections trying to

274
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 1: get you crossed over between linebackers and corners and safeties

275
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 1: and who's covering who. So we have a good job

276
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,680
Speaker 1: communicating pre snap and then adjust and post that. Joe,

277
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:22,440
Speaker 1: when you when you ever you have a young quarterback,

278
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 1: a lot of people always expect there's gonna be mistakes,

279
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 1: there's gonna be turnovers and things like that. At what

280
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 1: point in their careers and and I'm not talking about

281
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: Daniels specifically here, but just in general, when you have

282
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 1: a young quarterback, at what point do you expect him

283
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 1: to sort of turn the corner and and shed that

284
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:43,679
Speaker 1: that habits those habits Well, again, I think it's different

285
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 1: for every player. I think you have to keep in

286
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,559
Speaker 1: mind with young quarterbacks in this league. Playing quarterback in

287
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,320
Speaker 1: the National Football League is the toughest job in all

288
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:54,319
Speaker 1: professional sports. Simply put. I mean you can try and

289
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 1: debate that one or another, and I can argue all

290
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,079
Speaker 1: day long. That's the toughest job in professional sports. You

291
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 1: look at the truly great ones that have come through

292
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 1: our league, okay, and without naming names, just think real

293
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:06,560
Speaker 1: carefully about how many those guys were able to have

294
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:10,440
Speaker 1: high degrees of success before they had to truly carry

295
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 1: a team. Okay, think about those real great ones are

296
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:14,680
Speaker 1: gonna be wearing gold jackets that have played in this

297
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 1: league for you know, call it fifteen to twenty years.

298
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 1: How many of those guys had the benefit early in

299
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 1: their career really working with teams that were either carried

300
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 1: more by defense or run game. All right, we had

301
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: great arsenal of guys around that support them. I'm very

302
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:29,960
Speaker 1: confident our team working forward. And I'll just say specifically

303
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 1: on Daniel. You know, obviously there's some things you got

304
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 1: to clean up in every game, but I'll say right now,

305
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 1: you watch the tape in the night, I dude stood

306
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 1: in there like a man, all right, and deliver that

307
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 1: ball down the field. I dude stood there aggressively. He's

308
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 1: stood in there tough, he stood there confidently, and our

309
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 1: team feeds off that we're proud to have on our team.

310
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 1: I just wanted to follow up real quick on what Tom?

311
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:50,679
Speaker 1: What what Tom had just asked? You said the other

312
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,440
Speaker 1: night that you really liked Daniel's aggressiveness and you want

313
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 1: him to keep it. What does that look like in

314
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 1: terms of staying aggressive but also protecting the football? How

315
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 1: did those two things go hand in hand moving forward

316
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:06,319
Speaker 1: for him? Yeah? To me, look, you can be aggressive

317
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 1: and at the same time make the right decisions. Okay,

318
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 1: that's across the board and everything. You know, we're about

319
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 1: to play a team this week on special teams where

320
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 1: Chris has a ton of gimmicks and fakes. We're not

321
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 1: gonna go out there and play cautious. We're gonna make

322
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 1: sure we follow our keys, follow rules, and we play aggressive,

323
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 1: relay smart, and play aware. These are things you have

324
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 1: to be alert for. You know, as a quarterback, you

325
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 1: can't be effective in this league if you're playing cautious.

326
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 1: You can't be effectiveness league. If you're playing scared. You

327
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: have to be aggressive, all right. And as a coach,

328
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 1: what you can ever do is take away the teeth

329
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,439
Speaker 1: of your players by pumping the brakes on them a

330
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:41,839
Speaker 1: little bit. It's our job to instruct them, coach them,

331
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 1: and give them keys that help them develop. All right.

332
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 1: Everyone's gonna make mistakes at certain points. The important thing

333
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 1: is not to repeat the mistakes, and we have to

334
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 1: learn from each other's mistakes so we don't have to

335
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 1: repeat on ourselves and we can learn a lesson without

336
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 1: making the mistake. But you can't take away the aggressiveness

337
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 1: on every player, on any player, all right, because ultimately

338
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 1: that's gonna weaken that and that's not good coaching. Does.

339
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 1: You just have to work on that simulated like game

340
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 1: speed and practice, you know, because it's one thing to

341
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 1: watch it on film and say, Okay, I can't make

342
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 1: that mistake again, but like can you simulate that between

343
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:14,079
Speaker 1: games because you didn't have preseason games and I'm limited

344
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 1: training camp. We do everything we can every day to

345
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: assimilate as much of game like circumstances and situations Matt

346
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 1: as we can, you know, and that maybe the speed it,

347
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 1: maybe the situation we create, and maybe some kind of

348
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 1: obstruction we create within a drill to make it a

349
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 1: little bit tougher than normal. But we try and do

350
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 1: everything on all phases of the ball to simulate the

351
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 1: game everyday and practice
