1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:06,080
Speaker 1: Dallas Week Wednesday. I'll try to take your questions. I

2
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:08,119
Speaker 1: want to give you some time, so you've got you

3
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:11,960
Speaker 1: get your open locker room done. You did make some

4
00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:14,120
Speaker 1: chipping or had the tight ends staying a little bit.

5
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:16,440
Speaker 1: What's the balance of that, ez I've assumed there's cons

6
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 1: to doing that as well. We always do that. I

7
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:22,280
Speaker 1: try to change the protections in a lot of ways. Um,

8
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 1: you know, it's not always obvious schematically, you change the protections.

9
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:28,639
Speaker 1: You you provide chips. That's just part of what we do.

10
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:34,840
Speaker 1: You look at the way you lie. You know Dell

11
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 1: connected in their first game together. Sure you know? Well, um, um,

12
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,839
Speaker 1: what's the next threshold for them? I mean obviously they

13
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,199
Speaker 1: need to score points as well. Yeah, I mean we

14
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,520
Speaker 1: had a couple of opportunities to score points that we didn't.

15
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 1: But I think that the fact that there, you know,

16
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 1: producing that that's a good thing. Scoring points is what

17
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 1: you want to do. What do you see from the

18
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: Cowboys and particularly their running game at this point? I

19
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 1: think there, you know they're there. It starts with the

20
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 1: run for them. Certainly they've got an outstanding running back. Um.

21
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 1: I don't know about the narrative about their old line.

22
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,320
Speaker 1: But they look pretty good blocking to me, especially in

23
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 1: the first week. And they've got a really they've got

24
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 1: a good, outstanding run game. And you know, when you

25
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 1: have the threat of the quarterback as a runner, that

26
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 1: adds another element to it because the so called zone

27
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:28,320
Speaker 1: read game shows up and they don't worry about him

28
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 1: running with the football. Um. They do a good job

29
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: of kicking the ball of the perimeter in their run

30
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 1: game on their r P O stuff, and so that becomes, uh,

31
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: you know, there's yardage there just you know, as opposed

32
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: to just turn around and handing the ball off. I

33
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 1: think they do a good job there. They've got really

34
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: good concepts in the passing game, and they you know,

35
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: if they do drop back to pass and we don't

36
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: corral the quarterback, that's when he gets out of the

37
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: side of the pocket and I call him sex sixty checkdowns.

38
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: You know, he's out running around. He's got a strong arm.

39
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: If you see somebody open, he can get the ball

40
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 1: down the field and I think that's that that makes

41
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 1: him also dangerous. All those lines. You had a decent

42
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: push with the pass rush last week. Sack Um with

43
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: a mobile quarterback like Dak and a better offensive line.

44
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: How do you get those guys home? Well, first, let's

45
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 1: just well, we'll kill the will kill the sack narrative.

46
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 1: You know, sacks are certainly very important, but the rush

47
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 1: needs to disrupt the quarterback and his timing when he

48
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: makes throws. So, um, I'm gonna you know, dispel that

49
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 1: whatever that is. But to your point, it's important that

50
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: we put pressure on Doc, make him move his feet.

51
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 1: You know, we got you know, more than half the time.

52
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: He's gotta you know, he's gotta have to move when

53
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 1: he tends to just drop back and throw. And I

54
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 1: think that's what the rush is designed to do. Um,

55
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:52,079
Speaker 1: So we gotta continue to work on that. Speaking a

56
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,799
Speaker 1: chance this week over you will be out there running

57
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 1: around today, so you'll get a chance to see for yourself.

58
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 1: So we'll see he's making good progress. He's gonna do

59
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 1: more this week than he did last week, and we're

60
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 1: hopeful that he'll be back soon. Pat Deep see similarities

61
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 1: in Ezekiel Elliott and sake Kuan and did Ezekiel Elliott's

62
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,919
Speaker 1: first two years? Was that something you guys consider when

63
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: picking the impact a running back can make? Right away? Uh,

64
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 1: there are very there are a lot of similarities. They're

65
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:23,639
Speaker 1: big physical guys. Um, they have great collision balance that

66
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: you know they're they're they're powerfully built guys. And so

67
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,519
Speaker 1: when I say collision balance, you know in the whole

68
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 1: you know, guys bouncing off them, they can keep their balance.

69
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: You know, helps them in past protection because they can

70
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: drop their weight and they got a little weight to him.

71
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: And so there's a lot of similarities between the two.

72
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 1: We certainly didn't look at his production in his first

73
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: two years and had nothing to do with us selecting

74
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 1: Sae Kwan, But they're similar in a lot of ways.

75
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: How can you comment on Colt Beasley and you know

76
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: the damage he can inflict this where he looks like

77
00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 1: he's one of those type of guys. Yeah, he he

78
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 1: does create you know, he creates mismatches in the slot. Um,

79
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 1: we've all been around as coaches, We've all been around

80
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 1: guys like that where you develop a trust in you know,

81
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: obviously Deck trusts him. Typically when you're in the slot,

82
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 1: you're closer to the quarterback, he can see you better.

83
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: He sort of knows what you're gonna do, and you know,

84
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 1: he finds a way to get open and he throws

85
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: him the ball quickly, and I think that's that's the

86
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 1: challenge that those types of receivers, um, you know, present

87
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 1: to the defense. And I think we've watched him have

88
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 1: success for many years, and you know, we've kind of

89
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 1: watched the way a guy with his size can have

90
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:42,479
Speaker 1: an impact on the games. Well, they mean, you know,

91
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: any division game means a great deal, you know, certainly, Um,

92
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: Week two in Dallas, we're certainly looking forward to it.

93
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: We understand what it means. Um, I do think they

94
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 1: all count one. So it's important that we put all

95
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,280
Speaker 1: our focus on Dallas and worry about beating Dallas on

96
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: Sunday night, this Sunday night before we move on to

97
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 1: anything else. Certainly. Um, But no, I've I've always enjoyed

98
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 1: the NFC East rivalries. You know, all the teams have

99
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: great tradition. After last year, now all the teams have

100
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: Super Bowl trophies, and this is this is one of

101
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,839
Speaker 1: the tougher divisions year in and year out. Um, you know,

102
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 1: I I really feel like, you know, all the teams

103
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 1: have quarterbacks, all the teams can play defense, all the

104
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:27,039
Speaker 1: teams now you know, running games, and so it makes

105
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 1: for very competitive games you know, like you said, the

106
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 1: unfc've been involved in some of these robberies. Are they

107
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 1: all the same? You should see what the Giants cowboys

108
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: with nuances with differing. Yeah, I think you know, when

109
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: you when you get a team ready to play, you

110
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 1: look at the tactics and you look at the players

111
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,359
Speaker 1: and all that. You know, I guess you would have

112
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 1: to ask the fans who they want to beat most,

113
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 1: you know. That's that's more of that type of deal.

114
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: I remember when I was in Philly. I was putting

115
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: my trash out one morning early my first year, and

116
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 1: we weren't very good, and it was early in the morning.

117
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,279
Speaker 1: I was surprised by this person and they said to me, listen,

118
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,600
Speaker 1: if you can go to and fourteen, if you beat

119
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 1: Dallas twice, you know. And so that was Philly's take

120
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: on it. Um, you know, I don't. I don't have

121
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: the full feel here. I understand it's important to beat everyone,

122
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:22,840
Speaker 1: and certainly you know Dallas is our next one tomorrow morning. Yeah,

123
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 1: that's all right. It's not a new phenomena. There's a

124
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 1: lot of that. Mental is trying to make the playoffs,

125
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 1: and we don't worry about that. We don't worry about that.

126
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's fun for everybody to talk about

127
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: outside the building. Um, we didn't do enough in the

128
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 1: first game to win the game, and we're working to

129
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 1: do what we can to win this next one period,

130
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: end of story, and so you can it's fun. I'm sorry,

131
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 1: but it's that all that stuff is fun for everybody

132
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 1: to talk about. But we don't worry about that. I'm sorry.

133
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,280
Speaker 1: Host ask you about the Marcus Lawrence and and caves.

134
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 1: You can't necessarily stop him by just chipping him, or

135
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 1: do you have to kind of just no, you know,

136
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: the guy A signed the block him, has to block him,

137
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 1: and he's certainly been very disruptive. And you know, the

138
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: thing about him is he's long, he's got he's got twitch.

139
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 1: You know, he can he can get going quickly, and

140
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 1: he's relentless. He's a he plays hard throughout the game.

141
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 1: So you've got you know, you've got a full day

142
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: with him. You've gotta block him sixty five or seventy

143
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: times or he'll disrupt the game. So, UM, you're asking

144
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 1: me about a really good player and we're gonna you know,

145
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 1: we have our challenge blocking him. Has this ability to

146
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 1: improvise right, make something out enough in a couple different plays.

147
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 1: Can you practice that? Can you practice plays where he

148
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: you know, changes the field and then guys have to

149
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 1: hold their blocks and extra three seconds? I mean, do

150
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 1: you practice that as a team or no. You practice

151
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 1: the plays as they're designed, and they're all they're all

152
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: run with the idea you're gonna gain yards and hopefully

153
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: a touchdown, you know, and then you can just see

154
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 1: the skill and ability of a player as he finishes

155
00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: a play and does what Selon can do. But yeah,

156
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 1: U Japan, he said that he had a great run

157
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 1: and that's why you drafted him. What do you find

158
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: special on him and what are your expectations expectations here? Yeah,

159
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 1: it's very good question. Um, you know, we we found

160
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: him special in all areas. That's why we draft him

161
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 1: so high. Um, explosive runner. You know, when you can

162
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 1: hand the got a ball off to a guy and

163
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 1: he can run seven yards for a touchdown. There's there's

164
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 1: very few running backs in the league that can do that.

165
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 1: He's a pro. He's already you know, all beyond his

166
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,439
Speaker 1: time in some ways, because I've watched the way he's

167
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: trained in the last few months. Um he was in

168
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 1: here getting doing what he had to do on a

169
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 1: Tuesday's day off, so which means he's already developed in

170
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 1: the right process. And um, you know he catches the ball,

171
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 1: he can block, so he does all the things we

172
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 1: need a running back to do. And um, he's you know,

173
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 1: he's got a good mindset to boot questions. He'll be

174
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 1: out there. You know, we've got a couple of guys

175
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 1: so gone, what will be out there? Tay Davis is

176
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 1: coming back, Um, and then Ovie will be you know,

177
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 1: out there moving around so you get a chance to

178
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:13,559
Speaker 1: see him. So you know, I don't want to, you know, Jinks,

179
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 1: you know we've been pretty good that way, as much

180
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 1: as it is would be a compliment to Solder. Do

181
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: you expect opponents to Cowboys with Lawrence or even moving

182
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 1: forwards to move their best pass rusher to Eric's side,

183
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 1: told he proves that he can handle it. I don't know.

184
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 1: That's a tactical question for when Jason calls you. You know,

185
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know that. I don't know
