1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,800
Speaker 1: It was really happy with the way that our guys competed.

2
00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:07,400
Speaker 2: The fans were great during the game, which which led

3
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:11,320
Speaker 2: to our success too, and you know, it creates confusion

4
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:16,599
Speaker 2: for the opponent. And I thought that we competed well

5
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:18,800
Speaker 2: for all four quarters, which I've I've stood up here

6
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:21,159
Speaker 2: and said that before, but we did, and we you know,

7
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:23,639
Speaker 2: we communicated well, we executed well, and I was just

8
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 2: really happy for all the guys.

9
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 1: With that'll open it up to questions, how could.

10
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:33,160
Speaker 3: You describe Thibodeau's season to date, especially recently.

11
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:37,200
Speaker 2: I think he's I mean I've said this every time

12
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 2: I come up here. I think he's a very good

13
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:41,840
Speaker 2: football player, and I think he's having a really good season.

14
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:42,959
Speaker 1: I mean, you're talking about.

15
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:46,559
Speaker 2: A guy in the NFL that you know as an

16
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 2: edge rusher, as a as a linebacker who played sixty

17
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 2: eight out of sixty nine plays, which is a rarity

18
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 2: in itself, and I think that you know where's he

19
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 2: at now five and a half sacks. I mean, he

20
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 2: just he makes everything role for us. And I know,

21
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 2: no matter what he does, it might not reach the

22
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:12,680
Speaker 2: what some people think he should be doing. But I

23
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 2: think he's a he's a hell of a football player,

24
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 2: and I'm glad that we have him. I'm glad that

25
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:19,679
Speaker 2: that I've had the opportunity.

26
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 1: To coach him. What do you make of his number

27
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 1: of pressures? Is it where you well, I want to

28
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 1: answer for you.

29
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 4: What do you make of that? Uh?

30
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 2: You know, I think that we ask him to do

31
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 2: so many different things, you know, so you know, sometimes

32
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,680
Speaker 2: they're gonna, you know, put all the attention on him,

33
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 2: you know, going into that game sometimes that you know

34
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 2: we can get one on one.

35
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 1: Sometimes we can't get one on ones.

36
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 2: So alls we're interested in, really, kim Is is just

37
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 2: wins and and and playing well defensively. So you know,

38
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 2: just to point one individual guy out, I think we're

39
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 2: going down the wrong street with that. There's you know,

40
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 2: there's guys that do a lot of the other heavy

41
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 2: lifting stuff that you know, in my opinion, don't get

42
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 2: enough credit, and you know he's one of them.

43
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 1: With with how we move him around and how we

44
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: use it.

45
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 3: Week to that end, last week, Leonard Williams was talking

46
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 3: about how in a certain system you might be called

47
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 3: upon to do different things. So overall, can you talk

48
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 3: about this defense and how selfless it is? As on

49
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 3: an individual basis so that the unit can succeed, right.

50
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:25,360
Speaker 2: I think that that's that's the biggest thing and the

51
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:28,359
Speaker 2: hardest thing to do in the NFL is get eleven group.

52
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,399
Speaker 2: Eleven players in your group that are going to be selfless,

53
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 2: that that care about other people's success in that room

54
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 2: more than their own. And that's just today's day and

55
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 2: age of life. And I think once you get guys

56
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,920
Speaker 2: who care that way for each other, I think you

57
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 2: could be a force in this league.

58
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 1: And we're heading in that direction. It's not there yet,

59
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:53,920
Speaker 1: but we're heading in that direction.

60
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 5: How do you feel Jason has played this year and

61
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 5: who Jason and did? Was there pressure on him in

62
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 5: terms of replacing Julian Love who was a player, a

63
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 5: captain and a big player on this team.

64
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think there was. There was pressure because

65
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:11,119
Speaker 1: of that.

66
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 2: You know, I think that he was the next man up,

67
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 2: and and uh, I.

68
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: Think that he's he's he's doing well.

69
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 2: There's you know, some some little things that that he

70
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 2: needs to still grow at and continue to grow at.

71
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 2: But you know, I think you saw Sunday that you know,

72
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 2: he's he's he's a very effective piece of our unit.

73
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 2: And I'm really happy where JP's at.

74
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: Where do you think you need to grow? I mean

75
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: just everything, all the little things, and that's that's the

76
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 1: entire defense.

77
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 2: You know, I've set up so here and told you

78
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 2: we need to work on tactle, we need to work

79
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 2: on this, We need to I.

80
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: Mean every day you need to work to get better.

81
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 2: And and I think you're starting to see some of

82
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 2: the growth of the entire group.

83
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: And that's just that's everybody. It's not just individually of.

84
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 4: The season having multiple guys which I'd want or two

85
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 4: plays back and you wanted to get that number down.

86
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 2: I think that, you know, the last two weeks you've

87
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 2: really seen you know, there are still you know, there's

88
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 2: still some guys that have one or two plays, but

89
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 2: there's fewer of them. And I think that's where you

90
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 2: see the success of the defense starting to get you know,

91
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 2: we're starting to get better at that.

92
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,479
Speaker 3: Knowing that you're going to face the Jets offense, but

93
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 3: there's going to be a lot of eyes on both.

94
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 1: Teams defenses here and kind of measuring them against.

95
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:33,160
Speaker 5: Do you think your guys like that challenge of going

96
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,799
Speaker 5: up against the Jets defense on the same.

97
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 2: Field and I don't know if we necessarily look at

98
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 2: it that way. I think that we look at our

99
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 2: opponent's offense, you know, and we stay solely focused on that,

100
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 2: you know, I just leave that up to you guys

101
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 2: to you know, see, you know, I think they've I

102
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 2: think Roberts done a heck of a job and Joe

103
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 2: Douglas has done a heck of a job of building

104
00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 2: up roster to what they want to do.

105
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 1: You know, came from San Francisco.

106
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 2: You know, they got tough, fast, physical players, and you

107
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 2: know led By, you know, one of the best inside

108
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 2: linebackers in the.

109
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:12,160
Speaker 1: League with CJ. But I think it's gonna be a

110
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 1: lot of fun to watch.

111
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 4: When you picked on, you didn't know Keon would be

112
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 4: there at five. One of the guys who could have

113
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 4: been there was Sauce Gardner. Curious what he seemed like

114
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 4: you're kind of cornerback. I'm just curious what you thought.

115
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,679
Speaker 2: Well, I mean it's it's first of all, I didn't

116
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 2: do the picking, all right, so we tuck who was there,

117
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 2: and you know, hindsight, you know, you just don't know

118
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,359
Speaker 2: what would happen. I'd like to get both of them.

119
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 1: Wait, what are you seeing.

120
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 2: Exact I think that you can tell that the guy

121
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 2: has been around greatness. And you guys know my how

122
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 2: I feel about Aaron Rodgers. But you can tell the

123
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 2: kids confident. There's not a kid, he's a grown man.

124
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 2: But the guy's confidence sounds how it's grown that playing

125
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:59,479
Speaker 2: the position. So you know, I've seen the improvement in

126
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 2: the way he's running the offense. And you know, the

127
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 2: biggest challenge that we're gonna have is that running back

128
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 2: because he's special and uh, he's he's you could tell

129
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 2: that he's really come back from his injury and he's

130
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 2: one step and gone. So we need all the love

131
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:14,839
Speaker 2: them to get to him.

132
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 1: Well, he said this summer about Banks.

133
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 6: I think that's when you use the goldfish for for

134
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:27,039
Speaker 6: ted Lasso. But when he's competing against guys who aren't

135
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 6: an elite level and makes some of the plays that

136
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 6: he made on Sunday, is he even further along.

137
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 1: And maybe most rookies would be. I don't know, I

138
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:39,919
Speaker 1: don't I don't know that measuring stick.

139
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 2: I think that he's he's doing the things that we

140
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 2: thought he could do coming out. You know, there's there's

141
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 2: gonna you know, there's gonna be receivers in this league

142
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 2: that make plays, and you just gotta bounce back and play,

143
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 2: you know, play the next play. You know, they got

144
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,559
Speaker 2: a great receiver there in New York that he's gonna

145
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 2: make plays. You know, you try to limit him, but

146
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 2: he's gonna make play, and you just got to go

147
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 2: play the next play.

148
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 4: The more did he as he met Sam Powell into

149
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 4: that interception or was that just a plat adjustment when

150
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 4: I'm not.

151
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 2: Gonna talk any schematics about Washington because we got him

152
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 2: in a few weeks down the road and and uh,

153
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 2: you know it was it was a really good play

154
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 2: by by Hey.

155
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 4: You know, so when it seems like mcfat has really

156
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 4: kind of elevated his game in the last two weeks,

157
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 4: it's just something kind of clicks for him in the

158
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 4: last couple of weeks.

159
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: I think it's the entire year. I think it's been

160
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 1: since training camp.

161
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 2: You know, he's he's playing with a lot more confidence

162
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 2: this year, and the game slowed down for him. Uh,

163
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 2: you know, he learned a lot last year. You know,

164
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 2: got his nose bloodied a little bit, and he's come

165
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,119
Speaker 2: back and and uh, you know, I think he's playing

166
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 2: really well, how.

167
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 1: Much does Bobby next to him kind of help? Oh?

168
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 1: That helped. I mean it helps, but you know it

169
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 1: helps both ways.

170
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 2: You know that they're used to playing with each other

171
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 2: and communicating with each other, and you know you can

172
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 2: throw z and that with you know, third down stuff,

173
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 2: second long stuff. And I think those three have done a.

174
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 3: Nice job with with Dallas and Buffalo, Miami and San

175
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 3: Francisco and all these scary offenses you've played there.

176
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 5: Any chance you mightd look at the Jets Andy go

177
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 5: ah please, no way running back every time he touches

178
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 5: the ball and go eighty five yards.

179
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: And you know, with the receivers that they have.

180
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 2: You know, you don't talk about the others because because

181
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 2: seventeen's you know, he's a werewolf out there. I mean,

182
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 2: he can make plays all over the place. But the

183
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 2: other receivers are doing well. So we're gonna have our

184
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,680
