1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:01,599
Speaker 1: All right, but I thought, uh, you know, I thought

2
00:00:01,600 --> 00:00:03,800
Speaker 1: the guys did real good job today. Um. You know,

3
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:08,320
Speaker 1: players were ready to go and had a good week

4
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:11,719
Speaker 1: and came out and you know, started got off through

5
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:15,560
Speaker 1: a good star played from the head. Um. You had

6
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:18,639
Speaker 1: a lot of production offensively and you know, made some

7
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 1: big plays on defense, gold turnovers, stops. Um. And the

8
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 1: kicking game was you know a solid two um that

9
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 1: we covered well and I returned well any opportunities that

10
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:32,839
Speaker 1: we had, so um, you know, a punt return and

11
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 1: kickoff return, both of those got us, got us started.

12
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:39,560
Speaker 1: And um, you know I had good, good balance offensively

13
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 1: and the big big plays in the passing game, and um,

14
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:45,239
Speaker 1: you know it's just some good solid plays. And then

15
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 1: you know I had one hundred and fifty yards rushing.

16
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 1: So it's always a good thing. Um. But you know,

17
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:53,240
Speaker 1: proud of the way the teams know bounce back here

18
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 1: and hopefully we can you know, string another another good

19
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: set of days together, and um out la Bill. David

20
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 1: Andrews was in here earlier talking about wanting to get

21
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: a fast start and having you guys build fast starts.

22
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 1: I'm curious for it plays into the game. You had

23
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: that pass from you know, Kendrick Born to Nelson Agaloor

24
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,320
Speaker 1: for the touchdown. Was that play in there that it

25
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 1: just happened to present itself at the time, within the

26
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: first series, or was it in there to maybe to

27
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 1: try to ignite a fast start. Um, Yeah, No, I

28
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: think it was just you know, kind of the right situation.

29
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 1: I mean, Josh, you know it. Josh does a great

30
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: job of, um, you know, mixing plays in to take

31
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: advantage of the defense so over aggressiveness, whether it's pursued

32
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: or run force or whatever happens to be. And it

33
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 1: was a great call by Josh and honestly very well

34
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: executed by everybody. But you know, Nelly, you know, just

35
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 1: kind of the right timing of getting getting the defender

36
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: to come up and then get behind him. Obviously you

37
00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: know KB made a great throw that's federal quarter back past.

38
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: So um, that was that was very well executed to play.

39
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: That's always the key. I mean, you know, timing and

40
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 1: play calling are are great, but it always comes down

41
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: to execution, and those guys really executed it well. M Bill.

42
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: How much could a confidence builder? Can a game be

43
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: like this for you guys? Do you guys post that

44
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 1: many points and going forward now heading out to the

45
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 1: West Coast. I don't think we looted confidence. What have

46
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 1: you seen from Brandon Bolden that's allowed him to carve

47
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 1: out this type of role, especially since James White went down. Yeah, well,

48
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 1: you know, Brandon somebody that's always always been ready, always

49
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: done well for us. Um, you know, it's been an

50
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: outstanding special teams player, just hasn't really had an a

51
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,359
Speaker 1: lot of opportunity, and James has been one of our

52
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 1: most dependable and durable players. Um, of course Brandon didn't

53
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,799
Speaker 1: play last year when James, you know, I missed a

54
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 1: little bit of time. But um, you know, we're very

55
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: fortunate that Brandon be able to step in and you know,

56
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,679
Speaker 1: do the things that he does, maintain his role in

57
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 1: the kicking game, and you don't give us some quality

58
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,639
Speaker 1: plays offensively, especially on third down. So you know, he's

59
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:18,799
Speaker 1: going with the ball in his hands, and and he's

60
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: very smart handles a lot of assignments, which you know,

61
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 1: third down, let's pick up and those type of things

62
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: are you know, they're not easy. He does a good

63
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 1: job of that and as I said, it gives us

64
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:33,679
Speaker 1: a lot of solid plays in the kicking game. You

65
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,839
Speaker 1: seeing chows in the front. Hey doing bill. Um let's

66
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: see the first week you a lot one hundred and

67
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: eighty seven yards to the Jets. Today was sixty two yards.

68
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 1: Was that a big emphasis prior to facing the Jets

69
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 1: this week the run game? Yeah? Absolutely, Yeah. I thought

70
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: the Jets really did a good job off in the

71
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: first game. They had some schemes that, um, we're tough,

72
00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: you know, put us in some tough, tough spots. It was,

73
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 1: you know, well well designed. They blocked us well, and

74
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 1: they have good backs, Um Carter and Tie. Those guys,

75
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 1: they they're heart attackle They get some yards on their own.

76
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 1: They read read the play as well, and you don't

77
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: have good patients there. But um, I thought up front,

78
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,720
Speaker 1: we we tried to, um, you know, not not let

79
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: them be able to you know, get those you know,

80
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: six seven yard gains and and just hand the ball

81
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: off kind of when they wanted to, like they did

82
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,919
Speaker 1: in the first game. So we got them in some

83
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: longer yard situations, um Bentley and and um. Our defensive line, um,

84
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 1: you know, had some Zeno stops for little or no

85
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: gain that created some second and longs or when they

86
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: ran on second down, it created some third downs and

87
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 1: and we're able to convert on on some of those.

88
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 1: So but yeah, we've I thought our run defense has

89
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 1: improved here in the last you know, three or four weeks. Um,

90
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: But I mean it's always a challenge anytime you see

91
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:59,039
Speaker 1: a great back like like these guys are Eckler or whoever.

92
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: It's always you know, Elliott, whoever it happens to be.

93
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, they're one play away from a

94
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 1: seventy or a touchdown, and so, um, you know, we'll

95
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 1: keep working on it. But it's good to you know,

96
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,159
Speaker 1: it's good to be competitive. And of course the score

97
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,159
Speaker 1: kind of took him out of the running game, um,

98
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 1: you know, most of the second half. So um, you know,

99
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if we really, you know, got the

100
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,479
Speaker 1: full test of what I'm sure they would have wanted

101
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: to run it more than than they had the opportunity to.

102
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: But um, at least we were ready for it early

103
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: and and then it helped us get ahead. Bill, How

104
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,280
Speaker 1: did you see Kyle Dugger and Adrian Phillips take over

105
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 1: when Devin goes down and making those checks pre snap

106
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: and then also one of them being back there alone

107
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: when you're in single high how they did throughout the

108
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 1: rest of the game. Yeah, I mean we're we're fortunate

109
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:48,279
Speaker 1: we have you know, three really good safeties and um,

110
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: and you know, Devin's certainly quarterback the secondary for you

111
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: know a long time back there, and um, but you

112
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,279
Speaker 1: know we've we've those guys practice and they rotate through there,

113
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 1: and so Kyle and an Ap are both very you know,

114
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,799
Speaker 1: good pilarists in their own right and both smart players,

115
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 1: and so they handled things. Miles also step back in there,

116
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 1: and um, you know played some safety as well in

117
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: a couple of our different defensive groups. So um, yeah,

118
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 1: I thought, you know, defensively, it was not a perfect effort,

119
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: but uh, you know, a solid effort and once we

120
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 1: kind of saying a fourth quarter, you know, got the

121
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:27,359
Speaker 1: got the past rush going a little bit that that

122
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: helped us. We tackled well, turn the ball over. I

123
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,719
Speaker 1: had some turnover opportunities, took advantage of them. You know,

124
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,039
Speaker 1: JC made a great catch on the sideline. Kyle made

125
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 1: a great catch on a on a low ball there.

126
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: I mean, both of those are big time plays. And

127
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 1: then you know we you know, punch the ball out

128
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 1: there at the end. So, um, just secondary working together.

129
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,159
Speaker 1: You know, we played justin played Juan, you know, had

130
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: had some different combinations in there, but those guys really

131
00:06:53,720 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 1: worked well together and held up well. Right. Taking you

132
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,159
Speaker 1: back to Kendrick's pass again, when a guy is trying

133
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,279
Speaker 1: something in a game for the first time like that,

134
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: what's it like for you on the sideline? Is that

135
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 1: kind of a hold your breath type of moment? Well,

136
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: it is if it hasn't gone well in practice. Um,

137
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 1: But usually when it goes well in practice, you gain confidence.

138
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: And if they gain confidence in it and you and

139
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: you call it, you know, when you don't do it

140
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 1: well in practice, and honestly, it usually doesn't get called.

141
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 1: So um. Now, sometimes it's a little different in the

142
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 1: game because the aggressiveness of the defense might be different

143
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 1: than what the what the aggressive this is of the

144
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: scout team, and so sometimes some of those plays are

145
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 1: designed to really get everybody up and then get behind them.

146
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: You don't always get that reaction in practice. But um, again,

147
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 1: generally speaking, some of our you know kind of one

148
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 1: time plays this direction or double passes, things like that.

149
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 1: You know, those guys are executing pretty well in practice,

150
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: So um, I have confidence and and you want the

151
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 1: guy that has the ball to have confidence. You want

152
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 1: to have confidence in the guy who has the ball

153
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 1: that if something goes wrong, then it's not gonna You're

154
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: not gonna turned the ball over, you know, if it's

155
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:08,560
