1
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:09,320
Speaker 1: Uh, Mary or afternoon, whatever it is. Um, yeah, it's

2
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:12,040
Speaker 1: been Uh, I can't remember the last time we've gone

3
00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 1: three years without playing the Steelers. Seems like it's been Yeah,

4
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 1: team we used played every year, but um, obviously it's

5
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 1: been been a little while. Um some you know, definitely

6
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 1: changes since the last time we saw him. But UM,

7
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 1: big win, you know, big win for Pittsburgh on the road,

8
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:31,639
Speaker 1: you know against Cincinnati. Um you know went you know,

9
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 1: went all the way down to the wire and um,

10
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:37,199
Speaker 1: you know one and after five full quarters. They had

11
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 1: a big play, made big plays in all areas. Um

12
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 1: obviously had a big theay defensive turnovers, Um, you know,

13
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:45,479
Speaker 1: had some big plays offensively, you know, a couple of

14
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:49,279
Speaker 1: critical plays obviously the you know block field goal, game

15
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 1: winning field goal. Um, you know, it's just a pretty

16
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 1: solid effort. Um, good football team. And home opener should

17
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: be a lot Arjena in Pittsburgh on Sunday, So I

18
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,479
Speaker 1: should be ready to deal with that. But you don't

19
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 1: need a good football game in all three phases too,

20
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,119
Speaker 1: you know, to be competitive, and so we're working towards

21
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 1: so so we're at today. Bill, you touched on a

22
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: little bit, but what did you see out of their defense.

23
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 1: It looked at put into dominating performance and how important

24
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 1: is it for the offense to be ready for all

25
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 1: of that? From week two they had a couple of

26
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:30,040
Speaker 1: big plays on the pass rush Um you know, strip sacks, sacks,

27
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 1: wadhead an interception out of the ball down and then

28
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: their coverage was was good Um most of his own

29
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,199
Speaker 1: coverage they broke on the ball. Well had a couple

30
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 1: of you know, very good um athletic intercepting plays, got

31
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 1: their hands on the ball and finished them. Obviously, if

32
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick's return for a pick six, they're on a second

33
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: play of the game, which was set up by Hayward.

34
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 1: Sack on first down put them a second along. So um,

35
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 1: you know, just overall a good, good, complimentary defense. Linebackers

36
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: are fast, Um, they have a good front. They play

37
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: a lot of people on their secondaries. I'm kind of

38
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: a ball hawking secondary. They go after the ball and

39
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: read the quarterback. Well, do a good job of um

40
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: Um breaking on the throw and you know, closing space quickly.

41
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,679
Speaker 1: The team that gets to the quarterback a lot good

42
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: good careers, a lot of takeaways. Is there something you're

43
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: front about the rush on somebody, did you see it's

44
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: the concepts employee. Yeah. I mean again, you know, it's

45
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: been a while since we've seen them, so I'm not

46
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 1: as familiar with maybe what they're some of their you know,

47
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: other seasons have looked like and so forth. But you know,

48
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: they have good inside rushers obviously, Hayward one of the

49
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: best in the league. Um, you know, good outside rushers

50
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: Watt high Smith last week. Um, you know, and then

51
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 1: they blitz their secondary, you know, a decent amount enough

52
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 1: to keep you honest, and and uh. And the linebackers

53
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: are fast. Uh you know, it's bushed act, it's playing.

54
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:02,919
Speaker 1: I got a hold, you know, a bunch of them.

55
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: So those guys are you know, very athletic too. So

56
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:09,519
Speaker 1: it's an athletic defense with some good, powerful people inside.

57
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: What kind of challenges to their passing game presented specifically

58
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,679
Speaker 1: to a receiver group, Well, I think you got to

59
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 1: look the whole group. Um. You know, Harris is a problem. Um,

60
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: tight ends are a problem. The receivers are a problem.

61
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:28,359
Speaker 1: Athletic quarterback Um, you know he's he's scrambled against us.

62
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: He had a couple of big scrambles against um. Um.

63
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: Cincinnati not necessarily for a long yardage, but to extend plays,

64
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 1: get away from the blitz, you know, things like that.

65
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: So we got a it's really everything. I mean, you

66
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: can't just go into this game and say, well, we're

67
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 1: just going to shut down one guy that that's simply

68
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: he's not going to be the answer. Johnson's an explosive player. Claypool,

69
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: you know, big fast, go to the ball in his hands, obviously,

70
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: Friarmouth you know us gunner in their So they got

71
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: a bunch of guys that are explosive and a quarterback himself.

72
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: I mean, he can't let him run around. We saw

73
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: him you know Chicago, you know, do a number on

74
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 1: us scramble and so I gotta I'm gonna make sure

75
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: we count for him to fill with an injury that

76
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 1: t J. Watt, somebody who's obviously the elite pass rush

77
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,479
Speaker 1: room kind of elevates um. It provides above average passwords

78
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,679
Speaker 1: from the only rush four. Is it difficult to project

79
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:29,039
Speaker 1: how they might want to offset that loss and perhaps

80
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 1: bring more pressure this week where they unpredictable as it is,

81
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: is a game play defensive Yeah, yeah, to ask Mike

82
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: what he's gonna do on that it's so hard to

83
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: tell them. Look, they're they're a good defensive team, obviously

84
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 1: better with Watt, but that is what it is. I

85
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 1: can't imagine that they're going to revamp their whole defense

86
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,040
Speaker 1: in one week. I don't know why they would. They

87
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 1: play a lot of people anyway, played a lot of

88
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 1: people in the Cincinnata game and it played over on

89
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 1: a plays on defense. So I think they're probably pretty

90
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 1: comfortable with what they have because they played those guys

91
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 1: and they played pretty well against you know, obviously good offense.

92
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 1: So I wouldn't expect to see a lot of dramatic

93
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: changes go to a whole big news scheme or anything.

94
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: I don't think that's really their their style, but we'll see.

95
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,479
Speaker 1: I don't know would went into the decision to bring

96
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: back Marcus Cannon on practice squad, to put him on

97
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 1: a practic squad and see how goes. He was interested

98
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 1: in we're interested in it. So it worked out. After

99
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: looking at the game play from miamis or a certain

100
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: area that you guys would like to work on to

101
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:44,840
Speaker 1: improve this week, we're gonna trying to improve everything. You've

102
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: anticipate Mac Jones practicing in full today. Um so it

103
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:56,279
Speaker 1: goes out there. Hopefully we'll see and how would you

104
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 1: some up what it's been like working with Trent around

105
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: the second time? Around here? Who's here all last year?

106
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: I mean I'm talking about this year compared to last

107
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,599
Speaker 1: year or last year compared to the first year. You know,

108
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 1: I'm like, where we I'm really sure where we are here?

109
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 1: It's been it for two straight years now it's last

110
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: year compared to this year? Are you seeing the same

111
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 1: buying from him? Well, you know, Trent went through Um,

112
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:29,600
Speaker 1: you know, he had some stuff last year in the

113
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 1: spring that he had to deal with on a personal level,

114
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 1: which was very unfortunate. Um, this year he was able

115
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 1: to be a lot more involved in in the off

116
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 1: season program and in our spring workouts, been out there

117
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: every day in training camp for most parts. So he's

118
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: I think he's just got a lot more working And

119
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 1: of course, this year's playing left. Last year he played

120
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 1: right and it played left back in eighteen, so it's

121
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 1: a little bit of difference there, But I mean fundamentally

122
00:06:55,839 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 1: he's pretty pretty good at both spots. Um, Yeah, it's

123
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,359
Speaker 1: been good, and he's just had more opportunity to be

124
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: out there than he has. I mean last year he

125
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 1: played seven plays, nine plays whatever it was, sore already

126
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: well passed that. That's a good thing. And effort his effort.

127
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I think he saw the you know, like

128
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 1: the play the Naigi there where he's twenty yards downfield.

129
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 1: I mean, like, I don't think this guy's ever gonna

130
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 1: be a you know, the Cathalan athlete. That's not what

131
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 1: he is. But man, good it is sure, good plays.

132
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 1: But I mean, like everybody else, you know, everybody's got

133
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: thinks they need to work on, and that goes for

134
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: all of us. So he's working. You know, I was

135
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 1: curious about the mechanics of the sidelines. You walk seed

136
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: in years past and the quarterback comes over, whether it

137
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: was McDaniels or oh, Brian, basically right to the quarterback,

138
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 1: sit down and kind of go over the tablet the

139
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 1: game one Sunday. He might max been a lot of

140
00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: time with Brian and not as much for me to

141
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,679
Speaker 1: which is after series, does that sort of an indication

142
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 1: of how far along Mac is in terms of just

143
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 1: overhall knowledge of what he's seeing or just Brian's experience.

144
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: What kind of goes into that? U? Yeah, Well, I

145
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: mean I think you know Brian Mac have a good relationship.

146
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: We saw that last year. Um, you know, Joe's there.

147
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: I mean we talked to Joe, talked Joe at the

148
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 1: end of each series, goes through the stuff with the quarterbacks,

149
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: and as all the other coaches doing their respective positions.

150
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: So I think we're getting the information to the players

151
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 1: and getting the information back from the players like we

152
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 1: always have. I don't think there's any big difference in that.

153
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,079
Speaker 1: It is it challenging for Matt Bill given that he

154
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 1: has the offensive line responsibilities and then you know, calling

155
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 1: the plays um to be able to do both in

156
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 1: between series of time limited there. Yeah, well again there's

157
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 1: a collaboration. Here's a number of things that need to

158
00:08:55,840 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 1: be done. So so as a staff, well, you know,

159
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:04,199
Speaker 1: we'll get it done. And I didn't want to ask

160
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 1: you about Billy Yates because it looks like he man

161
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:09,439
Speaker 1: actually mentioned to us yesterday sort of up in the

162
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 1: press box press box level, excuse me, um for the

163
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 1: first half and then maybe down on the sideline for

164
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:19,680
Speaker 1: the second half. What the benefit of having him in

165
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 1: those spots at those times? We feel like it's the

166
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,239
Speaker 1: best way to operate. We've done that through the preseason

167
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:30,079
Speaker 1: that's worked out. The benefits of it have been kind

168
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 1: of what we're looking for. So it's always an option

169
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 1: to change things. But I think that that the way

170
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 1: that it's function has been, it's been, you know, good,

171
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 1: So probably keep doing that. Is it for the first half?

172
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 1: Is it just beneficial? Like do you feel like the

173
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 1: game has kind of declared I guess in some way

174
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,439
Speaker 1: by the end of the second quarter, and so that

175
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:56,719
Speaker 1: that high in the sky so to speak, might not

176
00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: be as beneficial in the second half. Is that reasonable

177
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 1: to say? I think there's some yeah somewhere in that ballpark. Yeah, Bill,

178
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 1: And looking at the wide receiving group, Um, you've got

179
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 1: you brought in three guys over the last two years,

180
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 1: yet Jacoby Meyers is still here and it's still producing

181
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:26,679
Speaker 1: and making plays. Can just talk about your reliance this

182
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:30,959
Speaker 1: team's reliance on Jacoby. And Jacoby is a good player.

183
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 1: He's um certainly come a long way from um where

184
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 1: it was his rookie year. UM's really learned how to

185
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 1: become a you know, a good slot receiver. But he

186
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 1: can do things on the perimeter as well. He's good

187
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 1: and um blocking part of the game and run force

188
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 1: and some of the more sophisticated routes he's had more

189
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:55,679
Speaker 1: experience with, and so that's a good job on those.

190
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,320
Speaker 1: He's got good hand, he's got good catch radius. Um,

191
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 1: it's good quickness to get and he plays primarily in

192
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 1: the inside, but not exclusively. Um. Most of the other

193
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 1: players I think that we're talking about are I played

194
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: more on the outside. So I think that's a good

195
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 1: compliment between the guys that have come in and their

196
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 1: positions and Jakobe in his position is consistency, very good, Yeah,

197
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:20,839
Speaker 1: and continues to get better. I mean it's a kid

198
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 1: that got better through the course of his first year,

199
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 1: from year one to year two, year two to year three,

200
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 1: and you don't now year three to year four, and

201
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 1: not just on the field, but off the field preparation, leadership, adjustments, anticipation,

202
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 1: I mean all they above smart football player. How tough

203
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 1: is it to lose time one coming, you know, after

204
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 1: playing one game and just have a company and there

205
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 1: you and you romntery game and you know to be

206
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 1: up there. We feel good about are the depth in

207
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:53,679
Speaker 1: the backs. We have good backs. Tough to lose tide,

208
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 1: but and we have you know, a couple of good

209
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 1: players there and then we have you know, young players

210
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 1: behind him, so se goes. Do you anticipate there's a

211
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 1: chance he's still can play this season right now, so

212
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 1: he could come back. But given us situation, we'll see

213
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,439
Speaker 1: how it goes. I don't know. If he's healthy, Yeah,

214
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 1: we bring him back. Sure he's healthy, we bring him back.

215
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 1: How that'll all turn out, I don't know. What's say

216
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 1: not a doctor. Yeah, the process of play a game,

217
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 1: come back, make the corrections, turn the page, prepare for

218
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 1: the next team. Heard you talk about it a lot

219
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 1: over the years, the team's mental toughness to do that,

220
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,679
Speaker 1: whether you have a tough loss like this week or

221
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 1: even a win. Have you learned about this team yet,

222
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 1: Like how they're handling it, Like, yeah, this is a

223
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 1: good chance for us to our first chance related to it. Uh,

224
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 1: last week, you know, we were away, it was a

225
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,080
Speaker 1: different situation. We're in a routine. But now we're in

226
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 1: i'd say more of a normal routine, and I think

227
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 1: that'll be beneficial for us to get into that routine,

228
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 1: really establish it this week and that'll carry us all throughout,

229
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 1: hopefully the rest of the season. I mean, other than

230
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:14,839
Speaker 1: a couple of other aeball weeks, but from the most part,

231
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 1: so yeah, I think we'll say it goes here today.

232
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 1: But coach, what do you see from Leaka Fitzpatrick and

233
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 1: with their safeties? Do you feel like they take those

234
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 1: guys a lot in the back end or is the

235
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 1: kind of just play their positions. Oh, I think there

236
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 1: are certain things that Fitzpastrick is does that they want

237
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 1: him to do, that he's good at, and so they

238
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 1: use him in those some of those situations which I

239
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 1: would expect. I'm not saying that other guys couldn't do him.

240
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 1: I don't know, but they prefer him. He's productive doing that.

241
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 1: So some of those roles I think I would anticipate

242
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 1: that he would continue to do those. He's productive at him.

243
00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:00,199
Speaker 1: I don't know it could change it, but I'm I'm

244
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 1: sure we'll see him doing some of you know, some

245
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:06,679
Speaker 1: of the fits things that are I would say they're unique.

246
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 1: I would just say they're more prevalent with him. Firemer

247
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 1: with obviously local kid. What do you remember about fire

248
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: Erth coming out of the draft and then would you

249
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 1: see from him as a rookie? Yeah, good player, um

250
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 1: athletic kid pick target catches the ball, well competitive blockers,

251
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 1: got good size, you know, can cover some people up

252
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 1: on the end of the line scrimmage. He's done a

253
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 1: good job for him. I had a couple big plays

254
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 1: last week. So he's part of their their good skill package.

255
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 1: It's good skill groups. He's one of them they definitely have.

256
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 1: You could see some players that are kind of it's

257
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 1: kind of plays where he's kind of the only receiver

258
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 1: or the prime by by far, the primary receiver, and

259
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 1: he's come through for him, so I'm sure they'll continue

260
00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 1: to give him those opportunities. His istor you crat Prey

261
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 1: back Eve today
