WEBVTT - Eagles 360: September 6 0:00:22.400 --> 0:00:25.480 Hello everyone, and welcome to the regular season, Eagles style. 0:00:25.680 --> 0:00:28.280 It's Eagles three to six on Eagles insider Dave Spiderow 0:00:28.440 --> 0:00:31.640 along with Glenn mac Now we're back together. We're not 0:00:32.080 --> 0:00:33.760 nice to see you, and fun season. We're here to 0:00:33.800 --> 0:00:35.839 get it all well, maybe a little bit right in 0:00:35.880 --> 0:00:40.120 twenty sixteen, I remember no errors. We were the ones 0:00:40.200 --> 0:00:43.640 making the errors and that era all right. So over 0:00:43.680 --> 0:00:46.240 the weekend, Glenn, a few things happened. You may have heard, 0:00:46.840 --> 0:00:49.840 Eagles making a trade that I don't think has ever 0:00:49.920 --> 0:00:52.360 happened in the history of the NFL, trading your starting 0:00:52.440 --> 0:00:55.680 quarterback eight days before the regular season begins. I'd like 0:00:55.720 --> 0:00:58.279 to get your take. Well, a stunner. You're absolutely right, 0:00:58.400 --> 0:01:00.960 because at this point you played your final preseason game. 0:01:01.000 --> 0:01:03.920 Everybody knows where the season is going, except it's not. 0:01:04.480 --> 0:01:07.680 I love it because you're moving ahead. The plan is 0:01:07.920 --> 0:01:09.840 we're gonna go to the kid. If it wasn't this year, 0:01:09.880 --> 0:01:12.920 it was next year. You were between eras. Now you're 0:01:12.959 --> 0:01:15.680 moving into an era with some definition, and I like it. 0:01:15.760 --> 0:01:18.200 So we've got a lot of eras going on here. 0:01:18.280 --> 0:01:21.399 Doug Peterson begins his first year as the head coach 0:01:21.720 --> 0:01:25.240 of the Philadelphia Eagles in this regular season, and Carson 0:01:25.280 --> 0:01:28.640 Wentz takes over the reins as the starting quarterback beginning 0:01:28.680 --> 0:01:31.480 Sunday against the Cleveland Browns. We've got a lot to 0:01:31.520 --> 0:01:34.280 get to today as we set things up for the 0:01:34.319 --> 0:01:36.280 rest of this very busy week. But first things first, 0:01:36.440 --> 0:01:38.360 we want to get you caught up on the day's events, 0:01:38.440 --> 0:01:40.840 a busy day for the Eagles. We throw it out 0:01:40.840 --> 0:01:44.880 to Alex Smith, our Eagles at three sixty update. With 0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:49.960 the second pick in the two sixteen NFL Draft, the 0:01:50.040 --> 0:01:55.400 Philadelphia Eagles select Carson Wentz. I'm joined by the newest 0:01:55.440 --> 0:01:58.360 member of the Philadelphia Eagles by way of North Dakota State. 0:02:04.360 --> 0:02:06.840 Hi everyone, I'm Alex Smith, and this is your three 0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:09.800 sixty update. Well, as you can see by that opening, 0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:12.440 it has been quite the turn of events to bring 0:02:12.520 --> 0:02:14.360 us to where we are right now, just a few 0:02:14.400 --> 0:02:17.880 days before the Eagles regular season opener against the Cleveland Browns, 0:02:18.080 --> 0:02:21.680 with Carson Wentz leading the way as the Eagles starting quarterback. 0:02:21.919 --> 0:02:24.560 The biggest domino to fall came just this past weekend 0:02:24.600 --> 0:02:27.320 on Saturday, when the Eagles traded Sam Bradford to the 0:02:27.320 --> 0:02:30.800 Minnesota Vikings in exchange for two draft picks, and afterwards 0:02:30.800 --> 0:02:33.079 we heard from Hallie Roseman who said that while this 0:02:33.160 --> 0:02:35.600 wasn't part of the plan to trade Bradford right now, 0:02:35.840 --> 0:02:38.560 it was still an opportunity to move the team forward 0:02:38.639 --> 0:02:43.359 in the right direction and he's very confident in Carson Wentz. Well. 0:02:43.440 --> 0:02:45.880 The only circumstance that change was this trade offer from 0:02:45.919 --> 0:02:49.640 the Vikings. You know, this m was not our blueprint. 0:02:49.639 --> 0:02:53.399 This was not part of the plan. But as we sit, 0:02:53.520 --> 0:02:55.200 we have to be flexible and we have to be 0:02:55.240 --> 0:02:58.360 able to take advantage of opportunities that give us an 0:02:58.360 --> 0:03:02.880 opportunity to get where we want to be. And our 0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:07.920 organization has had run a success at some point, but 0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:10.880 we're trying to get that trophy and to do that 0:03:11.000 --> 0:03:13.440 sometimes you got to do things like this that aren't 0:03:13.440 --> 0:03:15.400 so easy to do. A week before the season starts. 0:03:16.240 --> 0:03:19.120 So just about forty eight hours after the initial trade 0:03:19.120 --> 0:03:22.000 that sent Bradford two Minnesota, we heard from head coach 0:03:22.080 --> 0:03:25.919 Doug Peterson on Monday, who officially named Carson Wentz as 0:03:25.960 --> 0:03:29.440 the Eagle starting quarterback moving forward, with Chase Daniel serving 0:03:29.440 --> 0:03:32.040 as the number two. And while Carson Wentz, of course 0:03:32.080 --> 0:03:34.880 just a rookie, he's only played in one preseason game, 0:03:35.080 --> 0:03:37.280 but the Eagles head coach says that he's seen enough 0:03:37.560 --> 0:03:41.200 to make this choice. What he's done around this building, 0:03:41.520 --> 0:03:45.720 the plays he's made in practice in the one preseason 0:03:45.760 --> 0:03:50.840 games has given me a confidence that he can lead 0:03:50.880 --> 0:03:54.160 this football team, and I'm excited. As for Wentz, he 0:03:54.200 --> 0:03:56.720 addressed the members of the media for the first time 0:03:57.080 --> 0:04:00.240 as the Eagles starting quarterback on Monday as well, where 0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:02.960 he explained where he was when he got the news 0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:06.080 that he would be starting Week one against the Cleveland Browns. 0:04:06.960 --> 0:04:08.800 It's actually funny. I was actually laying in the middle 0:04:08.800 --> 0:04:12.440 of a cornfield hunting when that happened. So I got 0:04:12.440 --> 0:04:16.280 the call, and I was obviously very surprised, but instantly 0:04:16.279 --> 0:04:19.560 I was just really excited. So what started back in 0:04:19.640 --> 0:04:22.359 April when the Eagles moved up first from thirteen to 0:04:22.440 --> 0:04:24.640 eight and then from eight to two in order to 0:04:24.680 --> 0:04:27.800 select Carson Wentz out of North Dakota State, That momentum 0:04:27.880 --> 0:04:30.480 has carried all the way over to right now, just 0:04:30.560 --> 0:04:33.800 days before the season opener against Cleveland, where Carson Wentz 0:04:33.960 --> 0:04:37.000 will get the start, the first Eagles quarterback to start 0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:39.960 as a rookie since nineteen thirty nine. It's been quite 0:04:39.960 --> 0:04:42.520 a whirlwind, but fans are ready to see Carson Wentz 0:04:42.600 --> 0:04:46.400 in action. On Sunday afternoon with your three sixty update, 0:04:46.720 --> 0:04:50.040 I'm Alex Smith. Thanks so much, Alex. We've got a 0:04:50.080 --> 0:04:52.400 lot to get you here.

Glenn is 0:04:56.440 --> 0:04:59.039 going to talk about an NFC East, which we think 0:04:59.160 --> 0:05:01.960 is still wide open.

Some of the 0:07:26.880 --> 0:07:29.360 things that you saw that you believe Glenn will carry 0:07:29.360 --> 0:07:31.760 over into the regular season. Okay, and you're right. A 0:07:31.760 --> 0:07:35.040 lot of preseason doesn't. But this will. This is not 0:07:35.160 --> 0:07:37.760 your father's Wide nine. We lived with it once before 0:07:37.760 --> 0:07:40.200 in this town. We didn't like it. It wasn't very good. 0:07:40.560 --> 0:07:43.320 This one under Jim Schwartz, I think it's gonna be 0:07:43.400 --> 0:07:47.000 great a couple of reasons. One is he's gonna be rotating. 0:07:47.240 --> 0:07:50.200 I think eleven guys in and out on that defensive line, 0:07:50.600 --> 0:07:53.160 and those quick changes are gonna give everybody a lot 0:07:53.200 --> 0:07:56.080 of energy. And Jim Schwartz really knows how to do. 0:07:56.160 --> 0:07:59.800 This is following Jim Washburn. Washburn right, and that did 0:07:59.800 --> 0:08:01.840 not work out. For a lot of reasons. But in 0:08:01.960 --> 0:08:04.920 fourteen years as a defensive coordinator or as a head coach, 0:08:05.320 --> 0:08:08.160 Jim Schwartz's defenses have finished in the top ten in 0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:11.320 sacks nine times. He's put guys in the Pro Bowls 0:08:11.440 --> 0:08:14.280 nine separate years. This is going to be a great 0:08:14.360 --> 0:08:17.240 year for one thing Eagles fans love, which is the 0:08:17.280 --> 0:08:19.320 pass rush. It's gonna be a great pass I'm with 0:08:19.360 --> 0:08:21.240 you on that one. Number two. Number two, let's look 0:08:21.240 --> 0:08:23.720 at the offense, and this really would have been the same. 0:08:23.760 --> 0:08:26.040 I think if Bradford was the quarterback and carries over 0:08:26.080 --> 0:08:30.120 to Wentz, that guy sleeves, So here you go, the 0:08:30.200 --> 0:08:32.720 dink and dunk is back, and that's not really such 0:08:32.720 --> 0:08:35.840 a bad thing, I think at this point, unless Dariel 0:08:35.880 --> 0:08:40.160 Greenback emerges as a star. It's not an offensive high 0:08:40.200 --> 0:08:43.840 potency weapons. It's an offense of a lot of guys 0:08:43.880 --> 0:08:47.240 who can do certain things. So what you're gonna see 0:08:47.800 --> 0:08:50.640 is using multiple running backs. What you're gonna see is 0:08:50.760 --> 0:08:53.960 receivers going in and out, interesting patterns, things like that. 0:08:54.000 --> 0:08:55.600 But a lot of Dincon dunk down there. So you're 0:08:55.600 --> 0:08:59.160 saying an interesting offense something maybe we didn't see the 0:08:59.240 --> 0:09:02.680 last three years. All fast offense, at times explosive offense, 0:09:02.760 --> 0:09:05.720 a pace off nuts particularly interesting. All right, right, all right, 0:09:05.800 --> 0:09:08.280 number three, and here's this is gonna be I think 0:09:08.320 --> 0:09:10.160 one of the most fun things of the offense. You 0:09:10.200 --> 0:09:13.800 saw this in the preseason. The three tight ends set 0:09:14.360 --> 0:09:17.720 with Dorial Green Beckham as the fourth guy. That's a 0:09:17.840 --> 0:09:21.240 thousand pounds of receiver out there. It's gonna be great 0:09:21.280 --> 0:09:24.719 in the rushbloo, in the running block, blocking for the run. 0:09:25.360 --> 0:09:28.160 I think it's gonna create real difficulties for a secondary 0:09:28.200 --> 0:09:31.480 trying to cover those guys. You have three tight ends 0:09:31.480 --> 0:09:33.679 who can play this year, you have a two hundred 0:09:33.720 --> 0:09:36.320 and forty five pound receiver. You take a few, give 0:09:36.400 --> 0:09:39.160 or take a few, right, And I think that that's 0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:42.280 gonna be an effective, fun offense to watch all year. 0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:44.040 And I think in the red zone Dorial greenback and 0:09:44.120 --> 0:09:46.600 will be a huge weapon for the Eagles. By the way, 0:09:46.679 --> 0:09:50.120 Cleveland does not have a cornerback taller than six feet, 0:09:50.200 --> 0:09:53.240 so something to watch out for on Sunday. Another one, 0:09:53.240 --> 0:09:57.760 all right, Number four, rookies are rookies, and I think 0:09:57.760 --> 0:10:01.400 with the exception of course, of car Wentz, it's gonna 0:10:01.440 --> 0:10:04.400 be difficult to see a lot of rookies contributing here. 0:10:04.480 --> 0:10:07.520 You I know, yeah, I think before the season's over, 0:10:07.559 --> 0:10:11.000 Isaac Sayamala will play. I think when Delle Smallwood will play, 0:10:11.000 --> 0:10:13.040 and I think Jalen Mills will play as well. I 0:10:13.480 --> 0:10:16.240 I get it that it's not starting with a lot 0:10:16.280 --> 0:10:18.439 of rookies, and you see you around the league. I mean, 0:10:18.440 --> 0:10:21.320 my goodness. The Cleveland Browns have sixteen rookies on their roster. 0:10:21.679 --> 0:10:24.960 Seattle has a similar number. The Eagles have some young 0:10:25.040 --> 0:10:29.119 players who will get some playing time. Carson is the headliner. 0:10:29.280 --> 0:10:31.240 But I think this rookie class will contribute. So I'm 0:10:31.240 --> 0:10:32.920 going to disagree with you. That's fine. I think the 0:10:32.960 --> 0:10:36.640 second year guys are going to be the key Hicks Aguilar, 0:10:36.720 --> 0:10:39.280 we hope, now Green Beckham, those guys are gonna be 0:10:39.360 --> 0:10:43.320 kind of big new contributors. Better better counting on Nelson 0:10:43.320 --> 0:10:45.000 Agil or something. We have not We have not talked 0:10:45.040 --> 0:10:47.319 about the wide receivers in depth. But of course it's 0:10:47.360 --> 0:10:49.040 only Tuesday, so we've got a lot to get to 0:10:49.200 --> 0:10:53.360 we do. Here's number five. The most undiscussed really good 0:10:53.360 --> 0:10:56.280 player on this team is Rodney McLeod. Eagle sign him 0:10:56.280 --> 0:10:59.120 as a free agent. Game a good contract, didn't come 0:10:59.160 --> 0:11:01.559 in with a big name. Hasn't been discussed a lot 0:11:01.640 --> 0:11:04.880 this offseason or this preseason, but I'm telling you he 0:11:05.200 --> 0:11:07.959 their safeties now are among the best in the league. 0:11:08.200 --> 0:11:11.360 This guy can hit, he can cover, he's a smart player. 0:11:12.160 --> 0:11:14.160 It's a name that hasn't come up a lot, but 0:11:14.360 --> 0:11:17.240 Rodney mcclapsmony is a real prime edition. I agree. And 0:11:17.280 --> 0:11:21.520 the Eagles safeties have been really just so interchangeable, really 0:11:21.559 --> 0:11:23.440 kind of a mess since two thousand and eight when 0:11:23.440 --> 0:11:26.640 who left town Brian Dawkins, who, by the way, is 0:11:26.679 --> 0:11:31.080 back upstairs. Yeah, working on all these So those are 0:11:31.080 --> 0:11:33.920 Glenn's five takeaways from the preseason. We'll see how they 0:11:33.920 --> 0:11:38.200 translate into this two and sixteen regular season. Now, when 0:11:38.200 --> 0:11:41.160 we return to Eagles three sixty, enough of us, I've 0:11:41.160 --> 0:11:43.920 got the head coach, Doug Peterson in studio.

This past August, 0:12:17.280 --> 0:12:19.280 I happened to notice the pump on my foot, so 0:12:19.520 --> 0:12:21.600 my parents and I decided that we would go to 0:12:21.720 --> 0:12:24.880 Rothman at Jefferson. We found out from a biopsy that 0:12:24.920 --> 0:12:29.680 I had an osteosarcoma cancer. Scary, but the Rothaman doctors 0:12:29.679 --> 0:12:31.800 felt so confident in what they were going to do, 0:12:32.080 --> 0:12:35.600 and it couldn't have turned out any better. The Rothaman 0:12:35.640 --> 0:12:38.240 Institute Jefferson was able to get me back on the 0:12:38.320 --> 0:12:42.240 court and back to where I wanted to be. I 0:12:42.360 --> 0:12:45.880 sept to Philly.

Time Now for head 0:13:47.000 --> 0:13:50.520 coach Doug Peterson. Our weekly interview with Doug Peterson, presented 0:13:50.559 --> 0:13:53.319 by WAWA. A coach, it's your week. It's time to 0:13:53.360 --> 0:13:55.959 get the season started. Let's start with a quarterback position 0:13:56.040 --> 0:13:59.160 you named Carson Wentz the starter on Monday. It's now 0:13:59.200 --> 0:14:01.080 the end of the day to day. What has happened 0:14:01.080 --> 0:14:03.920 between then and now? Not much? Uh, you know, we 0:14:03.960 --> 0:14:05.679 had to work out yesterday with the players, got him 0:14:05.720 --> 0:14:08.280 back out for their three day sort of mini vacation 0:14:08.360 --> 0:14:11.880 after the last preseason game, and and uh you know, um, 0:14:11.920 --> 0:14:14.560 you know, gave all the starters there there the reps 0:14:14.559 --> 0:14:16.520 one hundred percent of the reps. Carson had one hundred 0:14:16.520 --> 0:14:18.440 percent of the reps with the ones, and and just 0:14:18.480 --> 0:14:20.360 got him back thinking football a little bit, a little 0:14:20.360 --> 0:14:22.720 bit of Cleveland prep yesterday. And players are off today 0:14:22.760 --> 0:14:24.240 and then and then we go to work on Wednesday. 0:14:24.320 --> 0:14:27.240 There are Tuesday's times when some players get into the 0:14:27.280 --> 0:14:29.240 film room and take a look at things. We had 0:14:29.240 --> 0:14:31.120 a we had a few guys in today, Carson and 0:14:31.520 --> 0:14:33.360 a Chase. We're in here and looking at some tape, 0:14:33.400 --> 0:14:35.920 some of the offensive linemen and and it is a 0:14:35.920 --> 0:14:38.120 good time for them to get in. It's quiet, and 0:14:38.200 --> 0:14:40.880 usually they get a chance to start watching. There's not 0:14:40.960 --> 0:14:43.240 a ton of film. I mean, you know, Ray Horton, 0:14:43.280 --> 0:14:46.200 the defensive coordinator obviously with Cleveland. He's been with Cleveland before, 0:14:46.240 --> 0:14:48.840 he's been with Tennessee most recently. So there are some 0:14:48.920 --> 0:14:50.600 games you can go watch and just get a get 0:14:50.640 --> 0:14:54.000 a feel for how he uh, you know, at tax offenses. 0:14:54.160 --> 0:14:56.240 What do you expect from Carson on Sunday, just in 0:14:56.360 --> 0:14:59.840 terms of his composure and his ability to kind of 0:15:00.200 --> 0:15:02.960 nerves to the side. Yeah, you know, he's gonna be 0:15:03.000 --> 0:15:05.480 nervous early. I mean that just goes without saying. Rookie quarterback, 0:15:05.520 --> 0:15:08.040 first time starter, he'll be He'll be nervous. But one 0:15:08.080 --> 0:15:09.880 thing that that I've got to do a good job 0:15:09.880 --> 0:15:13.200 and offensive coaches Frank and De Filippo, and we just 0:15:13.240 --> 0:15:14.800 gotta make sure that he stays calm and that we 0:15:14.840 --> 0:15:17.080 give him. We give him plays that he knows and 0:15:17.120 --> 0:15:19.640 he understands early in this football game that he can execute. 0:15:19.640 --> 0:15:21.760 And then once we settle into the game, see how 0:15:21.800 --> 0:15:24.040 they're going to attack us, then then we can go 0:15:24.120 --> 0:15:25.840 from there with him and kind of open things up. 0:15:25.880 --> 0:15:28.120 But you know, I just want him to be efficient. 0:15:28.120 --> 0:15:29.760 I want him to protect the football. I want him 0:15:29.800 --> 0:15:32.520 to protect himself early. I think it's important that we 0:15:32.800 --> 0:15:36.160 protect him from a protection standpoint so that he's not 0:15:36.200 --> 0:15:39.320 getting hit early and that can affect his eyes, you know, 0:15:39.400 --> 0:15:42.480 down the field from from reads and things like that 0:15:42.520 --> 0:15:45.120 progressions with the passing game. So if we can do 0:15:45.120 --> 0:15:46.800 that early in this football game and then get him 0:15:46.800 --> 0:15:49.360 a couple of completions early settle them in, then we've 0:15:49.400 --> 0:15:52.360 begin to open things up. Doug, you mentioned Ray Horton, 0:15:52.440 --> 0:15:55.640 defensive coordinator for the Browns, veteran guy. What do you 0:15:55.680 --> 0:15:57.720 expect him to try to do to take advantage of 0:15:57.720 --> 0:16:00.880 Carson's inexperience. Yeah, one thing that that obviously if you 0:16:00.880 --> 0:16:03.160 you know Cleveland has done this offseason, They've they've gone 0:16:03.160 --> 0:16:05.600 a little bit younger um and and so they've they've 0:16:05.640 --> 0:16:08.080 got some rookie players that are that are playing quite 0:16:08.120 --> 0:16:10.800 a bit first time starters as well on defense, and 0:16:10.800 --> 0:16:12.800 and so you kind of think he's going to keep 0:16:12.800 --> 0:16:15.080 it simple, but you look at preseason games and he's 0:16:15.120 --> 0:16:18.640 still he's still attacking with with pressures, he's bringing corners 0:16:18.680 --> 0:16:21.200 off the edge, he's bringing both linebackers. He's doing things 0:16:21.200 --> 0:16:23.720 that he typically does and that's his Zamo. He's a 0:16:24.040 --> 0:16:27.240 he's a huge single safety middle guy zone and man, 0:16:27.600 --> 0:16:29.680 UM would expect him to make you know, and and 0:16:29.680 --> 0:16:33.400 and put five man pressures against Carson, try to even 0:16:33.480 --> 0:16:36.120 keep him in the pocket, you know, not escape the pocket. 0:16:36.120 --> 0:16:38.320 Because you you saw what he did against Tampa Bay 0:16:38.360 --> 0:16:40.040 with some of the scrambles that he that he was 0:16:40.080 --> 0:16:42.560 able to do. So you know, from that standpoint, he 0:16:42.640 --> 0:16:44.800 may he may try to get after him that way, 0:16:45.040 --> 0:16:48.080 Um affect him with the pressure, Um. But but at 0:16:48.080 --> 0:16:49.800 the end of the day, he's a single safety middle 0:16:49.800 --> 0:16:51.720 guy and he just lets his guys play. I know 0:16:51.800 --> 0:16:53.640 there's not a lot of time gone by here, but 0:16:53.680 --> 0:16:57.000 how do you see the locker room reacting with the 0:16:57.000 --> 0:16:59.920 trade of Sam and with the promotion of carsoners starter? 0:17:00.040 --> 0:17:03.680 How have guys reacted well? The guys have acted reacted 0:17:03.800 --> 0:17:06.320 well and very positive. And it's something that we saw 0:17:06.680 --> 0:17:09.640 not only during OTAs but also during training camp. Uh, 0:17:09.840 --> 0:17:11.879 some of the comments the guys were making about Carston 0:17:11.920 --> 0:17:13.720 and the respect that they have and they really feel 0:17:13.720 --> 0:17:15.560 like he can be a good quarterback in the National 0:17:15.600 --> 0:17:18.320 Football League and and and so you know, we'll see 0:17:18.359 --> 0:17:21.080 each day now, each day that goes by the progression 0:17:21.119 --> 0:17:23.479 that that he has in the leadership style that he 0:17:23.520 --> 0:17:25.080 has with the team, and you're gonna see I think 0:17:25.080 --> 0:17:27.520 the guys are gonna see that that he embraces that 0:17:27.600 --> 0:17:30.119 and it's not too big for him. And and and 0:17:30.119 --> 0:17:32.359 by the time we get to Sunday, Uh, you know, 0:17:32.400 --> 0:17:34.439 all the pieces, all the all the boxes have been 0:17:34.520 --> 0:17:36.800 checked with him, and the rest of the team feels 0:17:36.800 --> 0:17:39.320 good about you know, him being him, being the guy 0:17:39.400 --> 0:17:40.960 and the fact that he can he can lead this 0:17:40.960 --> 0:17:43.320 football team. Let's talk about the Cleveland Browns. What have 0:17:43.359 --> 0:17:46.199 you seen from RG three, their quarterback? We've seen him 0:17:46.200 --> 0:17:48.439 in Washington for years obviously, what do you look like 0:17:48.440 --> 0:17:51.000 in preseason? He's looked well, He's looked good, you know, really, 0:17:51.000 --> 0:17:53.639 he's played well. Um, he's made some some nice throws. 0:17:53.920 --> 0:17:55.800 You know, you've seen some some of the deep throws 0:17:55.800 --> 0:17:58.159 that he's made. You know. One of the things that 0:17:58.200 --> 0:18:00.399 he can he can do and will do, is he 0:18:00.440 --> 0:18:03.520 can run. Uh. That's that's something that uh uh you 0:18:03.560 --> 0:18:05.280 know with with his style. And the other thing you're 0:18:05.280 --> 0:18:08.240 seeing with with Hugh Jackson as the fact that you know, 0:18:08.280 --> 0:18:10.640 he's taking some of that Cincinnati stuff and he's spreading 0:18:10.640 --> 0:18:12.720 those spreading the field out. He's trying to get those 0:18:12.720 --> 0:18:16.560 misdirections sort of catch you off balance type plays with tackles, 0:18:16.600 --> 0:18:18.880 you know, moving moving out to the numbers and things 0:18:18.880 --> 0:18:22.440 like that. So you know he's he's definitely uh brought 0:18:22.560 --> 0:18:25.239 some of that with him, um and and then just 0:18:25.280 --> 0:18:27.639 allowing him to be an athlete and play and and 0:18:28.000 --> 0:18:29.879 but but again he's a guy that you got to 0:18:29.960 --> 0:18:33.200 keep in the pocket. You gotta understand his athleticism. Uh, 0:18:33.680 --> 0:18:35.600 you kind of want him to try to make him 0:18:35.600 --> 0:18:37.040 throw the ball just a little bit. But at the 0:18:37.080 --> 0:18:40.360 same time, if you can hit the quarterback, uh, we 0:18:40.400 --> 0:18:43.119 want to hit theres and not them hitting ours. So 0:18:43.160 --> 0:18:45.680 many crazy things seem to happen week one, week two 0:18:45.680 --> 0:18:49.840 of the regular season. What why do you think that is? Well, 0:18:50.040 --> 0:18:52.760 I think I think because there's not a lot of 0:18:52.760 --> 0:18:56.520 film you know, offenses and defenses or so vanilla and 0:18:56.560 --> 0:18:59.320 training camp. Not everybody plays, you know, all the time. 0:18:59.680 --> 0:19:01.800 And now you really begin to kind of dive into 0:19:01.840 --> 0:19:04.199 your playbook the things you've really worked on in training 0:19:04.240 --> 0:19:06.840 camp and open things up a little bit. So there 0:19:06.880 --> 0:19:08.560 you know, one thing you got to guard against is 0:19:08.560 --> 0:19:10.760 you got to guard against the trick plays early, you know, 0:19:10.800 --> 0:19:13.160 and especially in the regular season, because those are things 0:19:13.160 --> 0:19:15.160 that can kind of sneak up on you because they're 0:19:15.160 --> 0:19:17.600 not going to show them in training camp, and and 0:19:18.040 --> 0:19:21.159 so you guard against those, You keep you keep the 0:19:21.200 --> 0:19:24.040 game very manageable early on, and then and then as 0:19:24.240 --> 0:19:27.480 as it begins to unfold, that's when things, you know, 0:19:27.520 --> 0:19:30.199 you dial up blitzes, you dial up shots offensively, and 0:19:30.240 --> 0:19:31.760 you kind of get into your game plan a little 0:19:31.760 --> 0:19:33.960 bit more. You've been with this team on the field 0:19:33.960 --> 0:19:38.239 since April through preseason to training camp. Ohta's back up. 0:19:38.480 --> 0:19:40.040 What do you think you have going into the open? 0:19:40.080 --> 0:19:42.680 What is this team all about? Well? Number one, we've 0:19:42.720 --> 0:19:46.040 got an aggressive football team, so I both both offensively 0:19:46.080 --> 0:19:48.560 and defensively, and it really starts with the offense and 0:19:48.560 --> 0:19:51.520 defensive line. And one thing we've seen on both sides 0:19:51.560 --> 0:19:54.160 of the ball is how well we've played up front, 0:19:55.040 --> 0:19:57.360 you know, defensive line, how we're coming off the ball. 0:19:57.359 --> 0:20:00.320 We're putting pressure with four guys and maybe a fifth 0:20:00.320 --> 0:20:03.280 guy off the edge. UM, you know, we're seeing we're 0:20:03.280 --> 0:20:05.359 seeing the ability to throw the ball down the field 0:20:05.359 --> 0:20:09.160 with great protection. UM. Our run game has been has 0:20:09.200 --> 0:20:11.400 been been effective. You know, we haven't done a ton 0:20:11.440 --> 0:20:13.240 of running, but at the same time, it's been effective 0:20:13.280 --> 0:20:16.480 when we have and so you know, I just want 0:20:16.480 --> 0:20:18.720 to continue that. I want to continue that aggression. That's 0:20:18.720 --> 0:20:21.199 something that that we we preached or I preached, you know, 0:20:21.240 --> 0:20:22.960 even back in OTAs is we want to have that 0:20:23.160 --> 0:20:25.679 attack mentality. And then that's something that's coming out of 0:20:25.680 --> 0:20:28.680 training camp. I felt pretty good that that that's where 0:20:28.680 --> 0:20:30.920 we are and that's the direction in which we're going. Doug, 0:20:30.960 --> 0:20:33.280 you know the fan base here, you know that they 0:20:33.400 --> 0:20:36.400 want you to win this game. So you're talking to them. 0:20:36.520 --> 0:20:38.760 What do you want from the fans on Sunday? Oh? 0:20:38.840 --> 0:20:40.199 I want to have them, you know, I want them 0:20:40.200 --> 0:20:41.600 out of their minds. I want to I want to 0:20:41.600 --> 0:20:43.760 pack stadium. It's gonna be a great day on Sunday. 0:20:44.119 --> 0:20:46.960 You know, be loud, be noisy, you know, be quiet 0:20:46.960 --> 0:20:48.840 when the offense is on the field, be loud when 0:20:48.840 --> 0:20:51.399 the defense is on the field. You know, and support 0:20:51.400 --> 0:20:53.000 their football team. I mean, this is this is a 0:20:53.040 --> 0:20:55.399 it's a new new season twenty sixteen, a lot of 0:20:55.400 --> 0:20:57.600 new faces. You got a young quarterback, get behind him, 0:20:57.680 --> 0:21:00.520
