1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,360
Speaker 1: I'm just curious when you decided to sort of give

2
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:05,480
Speaker 1: them a little bit more freedom, and specific specifically with Josh,

3
00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:06,840
Speaker 1: you know, how does that sort of work.

4
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:08,280
Speaker 2: It's really.

5
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:12,120
Speaker 3: I'm glad he looks at it that way because it's

6
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 3: it's it's been the same, but there's more input from

7
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:15,960
Speaker 3: the players.

8
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:18,440
Speaker 2: They're able to walk by and they.

9
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 3: Get with me before I get my final game plan

10
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:24,919
Speaker 3: thoughts together and like what do you see? And I

11
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 3: tell them what I see and they're like okay, And

12
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 3: then at times they'll see something different then I might

13
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 3: make an adjustment.

14
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 2: I might not, but they'll.

15
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 3: There's more input from them because I think they're understanding

16
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 3: how we do things around here and they're kind of

17
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 3: getting used to it.

18
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:40,560
Speaker 2: So it's evolving that way.

19
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 1: How much for you too, just by knowing all the

20
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:46,520
Speaker 1: players a lot more. You've been through the goal last

21
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:47,520
Speaker 1: season and things like that.

22
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 3: I think it's me just knowing the guys and understanding

23
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 3: what they do well and what they like to do

24
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 3: and just trying to, I guess, coordinate it all together

25
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 3: so that everybody is trying to be used at their

26
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 3: strength and putting them in position to make plays, which

27
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,399
Speaker 3: that's the ultimate goal. You know, whatever we do around here,

28
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 3: we want to make sure the guys have an opportunity

29
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 3: to go out there and make a play coming off.

30
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 4: They spend a little bit of time self scouting. Would

31
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,199
Speaker 4: you see when you look back at the defense.

32
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 2: We did, We went back and looked at it.

33
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:22,320
Speaker 3: There's some tendencies that you know, we understand we have

34
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,559
Speaker 3: and we try to correct them or you know, try

35
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 3: to do something a little different in a certain situation.

36
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 2: But at the end of the day, we're going to

37
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 2: be who we are.

38
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 3: And we're a team that goes out there and stops

39
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 3: a run, gets after the quarterback, and that won't change.

40
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 2: The system that really seem to stress defenses the players.

41
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 3: They have a talented players, and then at the same time,

42
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 3: you can line guys up at multiple different spots and

43
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,919
Speaker 3: it looks different. You might have to prepare for it different.

44
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 3: They're doing the same thing, but to a defense, it

45
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 3: looks like it's completely different. You might have a running

46
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 3: lined up at a receiver and a receiver lined up

47
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 3: at running back. In you know, that should freak you out,

48
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 3: but at the end of the day, you know, just

49
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 3: one guy's one guy, and you just go out there

50
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:10,679
Speaker 3: and play the Look.

51
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 5: What did you see in the last maybe about last

52
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 5: year from from Darius. I mean, obviously he went to

53
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 5: the outside, you know, four or five or six games

54
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 5: with five.

55
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 2: Or six games left last year.

56
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 6: But what has times him to elevate his game to

57
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 6: the point where he's leading the NFL prospect.

58
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 2: I think he's always had a talent.

59
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:35,639
Speaker 3: The thing that he doesn't get credit for is he's

60
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 3: a really, really smart player. He's a guy that understands

61
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 3: receiver splits, he understands what offenses like to do, and

62
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 3: I think the Shay does a good job of breaking

63
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 3: it down for the dbs every week so they can.

64
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 2: Go out there and play their best.

65
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 3: Like, if I'm a dB, I don't need to worry

66
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,519
Speaker 3: about a million routes. I just need to worry about

67
00:02:58,520 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 3: the routes he's running this.

68
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 2: Week and where he's running them from.

69
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,839
Speaker 3: And I think the coaching staff does a good job

70
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:04,959
Speaker 3: of getting him that information.

71
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,679
Speaker 2: You're somewhat of a hoop's officionado, right, Yeah.

72
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 5: So if you have to put together a basketball team

73
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 5: out of that locker room and you had a three

74
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 5: guard offense, is Darius one of your three guards.

75
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 3: I've never played with him. But I have an ear

76
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 3: and I hear down in the locker room that he

77
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 3: can go.

78
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, he can go. So I trust that.

79
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 3: And when you get another professional athlete saying, another professional

80
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 3: athlete can really do something another sport really well, they

81
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 3: can do it really well.

82
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 2: So yeah, he'd he'd be on my team.

83
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 6: Okay, So I'm gonna I'm gonna point out two plays

84
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 6: in your season so far. Okay, interception he had on

85
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 6: on digs in London and in New Orleans. Kind of

86
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 6: got beat a little bit on a play by Michael

87
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 6: Thomas down on the left sideline, I believe, but he

88
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 6: was able to recover, leap up and then with his

89
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 6: left hand and just get enough of a deflection on

90
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 6: it or goes off his helmet. How athletic are plays

91
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 6: like that?

92
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 2: For me?

93
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 3: I was a three sport athlete, and I really think

94
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 3: it's important for dbs, especially to play baseball because you

95
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 3: can track the ball. But Darius has a basketball background,

96
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 3: and the plays you talked about, you can see the

97
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:28,839
Speaker 3: coordination of jumping up, catching the ball, another one timing

98
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,159
Speaker 3: the jump, jumping up and deflecting the ball.

99
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 2: So the jumping.

100
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:37,840
Speaker 3: Ability he has hops so he used them as a

101
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 3: football player.

102
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 4: The defense has gotten off to a really good start

103
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,599
Speaker 4: to the year. Team six and two. Is there another

104
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 4: level of defense can take things too?

105
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 2: Oh?

106
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,719
Speaker 3: Always, there's a bunch of players we leave out there,

107
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,280
Speaker 3: and there's a lot of things that we would like

108
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 3: to do better, and we just you know, we come

109
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:59,479
Speaker 3: in here every week. I told the guys, like, all right, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday,

110
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:00,799
Speaker 3: let's go have fun on Sunday.

111
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:02,479
Speaker 2: That's the mindset you have to have.

112
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 3: And you got to get better every day like what

113
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 3: we've done in the past that don't matter. Like what

114
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 3: happens today matters, what happens Friday matters, Saturday matters, and

115
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 3: Sunday really matters.

116
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 2: And then you do it again. That's how you look

117
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 2: at it.

118
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:17,359
Speaker 1: Forgot, I've got.

119
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 5: A lot of pressures, you know, every season, but this

120
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 5: year the sacks are finally coming.

121
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:22,280
Speaker 2: Is he doing something different?

122
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 3: He finishing And that was one of the goals coming

123
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,039
Speaker 3: in this year that we needed to finish more when

124
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 3: we rush. And Josh has done a great job of

125
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 3: getting away, going home and working on his skill and

126
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:39,159
Speaker 3: coming back in.

127
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 2: He's studying. He understand what he wants to do.

128
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 3: And again I just sat down in the defensive line

129
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 3: meeting coach Buckner, Coach Sigris, and Koch Shuey. They do

130
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:53,599
Speaker 3: a good job of presenting the rush plan and Josh

131
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 3: is buying into the rush playing and is paying off

132
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 3: for him.

133
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 4: You got them back right before the bye week, first

134
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 4: game at and is the plan to start using him

135
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 4: more kind of week by week him a little bit

136
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 4: more action.

137
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 2: Oh, definitely that that rotation. He's one of our guys.

138
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 3: He's a guy that really plays well for so will

139
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:15,280
Speaker 3: continue to get him up this his game speed and

140
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 3: he'll continue to go out there and play more in

141
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 3: his repsole continue to increase, and he'll continue to make

142
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 3: plays for us.

143
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 1: McCaffrey before, I mean, just what makes him such a

144
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:27,480
Speaker 1: such a special player.

145
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 3: He's a guy that he's versatile. He can do whatever

146
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 3: you need him to do. If it's thirty one, you

147
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 3: need to get one yard, he can lower his shoulder

148
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 3: and get the one yard. If he needs to bounce

149
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:41,840
Speaker 3: the ball outside, he can do that. If you need

150
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:45,040
Speaker 3: to catch it, he can do that. I just got

151
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 3: finished looking. If he needs to throw it, he can

152
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 3: do that. So at the same end of the day,

153
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 3: that's what he does. He's a guy that they use

154
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:54,919
Speaker 3: in a variety of ways, and he can really do

155
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 3: all of them really well
