1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:07,000
Speaker 1: I guess.

2
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:13,039
Speaker 2: Eight weeks in, Mike, has anything about this team or

3
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 2: where you're at exceeded your expectations.

4
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:20,439
Speaker 3: I don't think that that's fair and necessary necessarily say

5
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:24,240
Speaker 3: exceeded any expectations.

6
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 1: Try not to. I don't have expectations, right, We just have.

7
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:33,839
Speaker 3: Things that we want to try to focus on and

8
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 3: improve on. You know, I don't think that they I

9
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 3: think that they are believe in themselves and that they

10
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:43,879
Speaker 3: believe that they're going to make some plays and that

11
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 3: they're you know, not really panicking, and signs of complimentary

12
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 3: football and signs of preparation, and then some things that

13
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 3: we have to continue to correct. And I think that

14
00:00:56,200 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 3: that's that's really good. When you can find ways to

15
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 3: win and end the game with the football in your

16
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 3: hand and kneeling on it. Those are things that I

17
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 3: think good teams find a way to do. M We

18
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 3: just have to, you know, play a little better and

19
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 3: keep improving. And you know, through this stretch here in

20
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 3: the middle middle of the season where guys are banged

21
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 3: up and there's you know, weeks kind of start to

22
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 3: you know, in the days they kind of really just

23
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 3: start to be similar, and I like the consistency of it.

24
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 3: I just don't want guys to to get you know,

25
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 3: flat or you know, some of these veteran guys that

26
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 3: we've got to be conscious of getting their bodies back

27
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 3: in this time of year. I felt like you guys

28
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 3: were able to get trayveon going a little bit yesterday.

29
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 2: I just wanted to ask you out some of those

30
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 2: pitch plays, like those misdirection pitch plays.

31
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: What makes those hard to defend? You think?

32
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 2: And does it clift doubt in the minds of defensive

33
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 2: players if you're able to hit.

34
00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 3: All one of those early in the game, Well, a

35
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 3: lot of that is predicated on the defense that they're playing,

36
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 3: and you know, sometimes zone or corners that may roll up,

37
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 3: or you know, pressure to a certain side, or you know,

38
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 3: whatever it may be. So I felt like that was

39
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 3: something that we could do this week, and it was

40
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 3: good to hit a couple of those guys did a

41
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 3: nice job of getting out in front of them, and

42
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 3: you know, we're able to hit some explosive gains that way.

43
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 3: So it'll it'll be a kind of all separate, you know,

44
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 3: each and every week based on what we need or

45
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:37,519
Speaker 3: what we feel like we can do.

46
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 1: I thought he you know ran well out of space.

47
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 3: I thought he made a good cut on one of

48
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:50,959
Speaker 3: those perimitive plays and continue to work and you know,

49
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 3: got a couple of returns and I felt like we

50
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 3: could be better there, but you know, being able to

51
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 3: have his speed on the edge. And again we're going

52
00:02:59,919 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 3: to try to use all the all the skilled players

53
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 3: that we have, just like yesterday, Max the leading receiver

54
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 3: by by the numbers, so kind of each week, I

55
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 3: think everybody's ready to go and try to take advantage

56
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 3: of their opportunity.

57
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: And no different than the running backs like.

58
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:21,959
Speaker 3: People who played yesterday and they have three battles with

59
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 3: the future Hall of Fame or what's your message?

60
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: I mean I think that it.

61
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 3: You know, again, it's always a challenge when you play

62
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 3: Miles Garrett and you know, it's hard to recreate that

63
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 3: speed and that type of you know, what are we

64
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 3: going to do.

65
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 1: On the show team? Like who do we have? Like

66
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 1: if we did, they wouldn't be on the show team.

67
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 3: So there were some you know, good plays, good blocks, patients,

68
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 3: closing a space and you did a good job in

69
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 3: a run game.

70
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: And then you know some.

71
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 3: Plays that again he would like to have back, and yeah,

72
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 3: I think that's what happens, but I will is going

73
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 3: to keep practicing and improving and continuing to help us.

74
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 1: When Garry came off of for a lineup, is there

75
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: more too much of a runway?

76
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, that would just need to close the space a

77
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 3: little bit, close the space.

78
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: And know that, hey, everybody else is on their own.

79
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 3: We we have to commit to two players, uh to

80
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 3: miles as opposed to maybe hanging in there a little bit.

81
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: So I think we will all.

82
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 3: Learn from that and and be able to uh to

83
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 3: improve and understand. You know, he's seen those all the time,

84
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 3: so he knows, you know, when he's coming off that

85
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:48,239
Speaker 3: that chip that we have to probably close the distance

86
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,040
Speaker 3: and know that he's ready to make another move or

87
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 3: another couple moves.

88
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 1: Are some things that said Josh McDaniels. A part is

89
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 1: a play designer and a play caller.

90
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 3: It seemed like drake hats are really wide open targets

91
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 3: of times and obviously tray Yon getting going outside. Well,

92
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 3: I think as a as a play designer, I'm I'm

93
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 3: excited where everybody is offensively and kind of you know,

94
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 3: being able to collaborate and come together provide ideas allow

95
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 3: Josh and you know, to to kind of figure out

96
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:20,599
Speaker 3: what he wants to do each and every week, whether

97
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 3: that's the run game or play pass, movement series, screens,

98
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:26,359
Speaker 3: drop back passes.

99
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: So I like where that's at. And then I think

100
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 1: as far as you know the play.

101
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 3: Calling, that that's you know, that's just a feel, that's

102
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 3: an understanding of, you know, what we need, where they're at,

103
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:45,160
Speaker 3: what they're trying to do, trying to marry some concepts

104
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 3: together with some of their run actions. And I think

105
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 3: he's done a done a great job, not only this year,

106
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:55,720
Speaker 3: but you know, being able to see what he's done

107
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 3: in the past. That's always just a feel of you know,

108
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 3: we showed this, let's come back and you know, let's

109
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 3: try to show them the same presentation but run a

110
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 3: different play.

111
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: And then.

112
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 3: You know, some of the you know, guys free, I

113
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 3: think just I don't know if that's the case, you know,

114
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 3: I mean, Pop was free because the quarterback.

115
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 1: Extended and they didn't cover them.

116
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:21,359
Speaker 3: So we need to continue to do that and find

117
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 3: ways to get the ball out on time, but then

118
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 3: also allow of quarterback to extend. So to answer your question,

119
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 3: I like where we are offensively, the collaboration the communication,

120
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 3: the efficiency to put the game play together, and then

121
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 3: Josh's ability to marry off different concepts that we have

122
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:45,159
Speaker 3: might how much of that is just tip your cap

123
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 3: to them for good executions versus something you guys could

124
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 3: have done. We do something better. Yeah, we got to

125
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 3: block them and on the high hopper we are the hopper.

126
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,360
Speaker 3: We got to let the guy the ball recover guy

127
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 3: go get the ball and we got to block. And

128
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 3: then the spinner is a different one where we want

129
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 3: to get on it. So good thing that we can

130
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 3: learn from that, we can.

131
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: Practice that and not have that be the difference in

132
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 1: the ball game.

133
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 2: Coach Trey Dudy a week from tomorrow, is there a

134
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 2: certain point this week where those conversations ramp up wards

135
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 2: because an ongoing process throughout them?

136
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 3: I probably would assume that those are ongoing, you know,

137
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 3: conversations that that personnel people have and they're gauging the

138
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 3: market around the league.

139
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: My culture building has been such a big talking point

140
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 1: surrounding this.

141
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 2: Team up to this point.

142
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 3: And what has it been like for you cultivating that.

143
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 1: And seeing how you're fixing this find.

144
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 3: I mean I enjoy it. I enjoyed, you know, putting

145
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 3: the right staff together and enjoy the trying to encourage

146
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 3: the people in the building, try to help them do

147
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 3: their job better. I hope they enjoy coming to work here.

148
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 3: And then as far as the players is, just trying

149
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 3: to get the right people in the build voting that

150
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 3: you know, are willing to make connections with each other,

151
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 3: to be accountable, to do what they're supposed to do,

152
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 3: to practice, and then ultimately, you know, win.

153
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: That's why we're here. So I think we can. You know,

154
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 1: I don't want you know, I want them to enjoy

155
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 1: coming to work. I want them to enjoy, you know,

156
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: being on this football team and being a part of

157
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 1: this team.

158
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 3: Just putting the right staff together has been a lot

159
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 3: on Zach's plate in the last month or so.

160
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:32,839
Speaker 1: How how is he handling all of that? Really well?

161
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 3: You know, I mean everybody over there and Zach's you know,

162
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 3: leading that charge, and they do a good job of

163
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 3: communicating and they're trying to help each other.

164
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:45,719
Speaker 1: You know.

165
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 3: I feel like their communication during the game and what

166
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:55,359
Speaker 3: we're able to get done, and talking about making adjustments

167
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 3: or fixing, you know, fixing mistakes quickly and talking about hey,

168
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 3: this barunch and this is what they did, or hey,

169
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 3: we got to be alert and make sure we're on

170
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 3: top of that.

171
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 1: I feel like there's really.

172
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 3: Good communication and you know they've they've done a good

173
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 3: job dirty runs.

174
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 1: So you find a dirty run and what are the

175
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,559
Speaker 1: examples of that? With moderate didn't have a ton of yards.

176
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 3: Yesterday, but yeah, I think there were you know, those

177
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:23,079
Speaker 3: ones where you know they got the box kind of

178
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 3: everybody's down in there and we have to you know,

179
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 3: there's usually contact within the first you know, a couple

180
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 3: of yards of the line of scrimmage. You got to

181
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 3: break a tackle or push a pile, and you know,

182
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 3: I think one of our better runs yesterday was you know,

183
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 3: contacted one or two yards and then he comes out

184
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 3: of it and.

185
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 1: You know, runs for nine yards. You know.

186
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 3: Unfortunately we didn't gain anything on second to one and

187
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:51,199
Speaker 3: jumped off sides on third and one, but uh, that

188
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 3: doesn't negate the fact that that was still a good run.

189
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 3: It's the ones where you know, again it's just not

190
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 3: like a clean look and you're not spreading into the

191
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 3: second level on touch.

192
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 1: That some of those happen and.

193
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 3: Hopefully we get a lot of those, But the other

194
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 3: ones where you know, you just gotta kind of make

195
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 3: your own whole as a running back, like may.

196
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 1: Roberts blame a good run defender. Well, I mean, I

197
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: think he's got good instincts.

198
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 3: I think that he stays square on contact. I think

199
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,839
Speaker 3: he plays with his hands. It doesn't get tied up

200
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 3: on too many blocks, and you know, can can kind

201
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 3: of see things and fit things, whether that's a gap scheme,

202
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 3: outside zone, inside zone, all the different run schemes.

203
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 1: I think he's you know, season well, how do you

204
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 1: anticipate things? Unfooled him with Terrell Jennings.

205
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,439
Speaker 2: Now that he's out of elevations, I think.

206
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 1: He comes up to the fifty three or is that

207
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 1: sort of like a wait and see.

208
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 3: No, I mean I would imagine that, you know, Terrell

209
00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 3: is gonna you know, I mean, I think we all

210
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 3: want Torell here. So however we have to handle that.

211
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,439
Speaker 3: I mean, the only other option is just to bring

212
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 3: them up. So, you know, he's been a good addition.

213
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 3: He's been prepared for his opportunities, helped on special teams.

214
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:17,679
Speaker 3: He had to tackle yesterday and kick off and so

215
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 3: those are all really good things.

216
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 1: I think he's a good teammate.

217
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 3: And so yeah, I think that that's only probably procedural

218
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 3: at the end of the week.

219
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 1: Thanks guys,
