1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,560
Speaker 1: Lions are a very strange team statistically. What do you

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:07,400
Speaker 1: see in their offense that's making this so effective? In particular,

3
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:13,080
Speaker 1: they create explosive plays, golf plays at a high level.

4
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:17,239
Speaker 1: He is a very accurate passer in downfield, intermediate off

5
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:19,479
Speaker 1: the play action. And then there are two runners. Have

6
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:21,439
Speaker 1: taken it to the distance a few times. We're both

7
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,480
Speaker 1: you know, a little bit different, but both very good. Um.

8
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 1: They scored thirty points four times and six of the losses,

9
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 1: four of them have been four points or less. The

10
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 1: other one against the Cowboys was ten to six with

11
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 1: three minutes twenty seconds left. So, um, explosive team, good

12
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:45,520
Speaker 1: football team. And we're gonna do a good week of practice.

13
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 1: Belly will still be out today and Neil will start working.

14
00:00:54,760 --> 00:01:00,040
Speaker 1: We're at he'll be practicing. Well, you know, so it

15
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: goes this week, but I think he's improved from where

16
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: it was last week. Um, so well, take you one

17
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 1: day at a time here, she I think you know,

18
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 1: I'm hopeful. How do you view that left our position?

19
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: When Shane's back, when President's back, I mean, how is

20
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 1: Josh playing? I guess Josh are doing a good job.

21
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: I think, you know, confident in all those guys that

22
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 1: played inside there and like we always do each week,

23
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 1: will all the way up till Friday after practice. It

24
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: goes for the week and then make our decisions when

25
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 1: when the team has scored is at the rate that

26
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 1: Detroit has obviously you mentioned at least thirty in four games.

27
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: How do you view that? I mean, there's statistically, but

28
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 1: then there's also the reality of what you see on

29
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: film the almost is there an emphasis that you know what,

30
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 1: we know we've got to score to keep up with them,

31
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: or defined ways defensively about trying to hold them down. Yeah,

32
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 1: I mean, every every game is different. I mean, look,

33
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 1: they create explosive players. The other thing they're really good

34
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: is down in the red zone of finishing drive. So

35
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 1: you know, it's a team effort every week of of

36
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: how you need to play game and um, but they're

37
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: they're an explosive team, no question about it. UM. So

38
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,079
Speaker 1: it kind of all works together with special teams offense defense.

39
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 1: We have to do a good job of trying to

40
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 1: slow him down and make sure we're tackling and not

41
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: giving up fifty yard runs that they break through and

42
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: take care of the deep part of the field and

43
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 1: and things like that on defense, and then you know, offensively,

44
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 1: do our job in terms of executing and trying to

45
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 1: go down and score points and then creating fuel position

46
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: in the kicking game, which another good another good team. Um,

47
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: you know, Dan's running variety of fakes since he's been

48
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 1: there on side kicks, surprising outside kicks, fake punts. Um.

49
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 1: Fifth does a good job on special teams. So we're

50
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: gonna to play well. Coach Hutton's leading a team in

51
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,359
Speaker 1: sacks hits. What are you seeing the Yeah, a good

52
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 1: players selected, you know, that's why he selected high. I

53
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 1: think it made a great play against Chicago to which

54
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,079
Speaker 1: led to an interception off of a screen pass with

55
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: tight end. He recognized it. He kind of dropped back,

56
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 1: made fields road over the top. Who who picks it

57
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 1: off runs it back? Instinctive, can play a wide variety

58
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: of spots, and I can play inside something. Does a

59
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: good job on his field goal rush with his movement.

60
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: Good football player. If you watch Monday night's game, it

61
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 1: seems Washington was able to take some of the explosiveness

62
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 1: out of Philly controlling the ball. Is that an option

63
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: for you Washington and Philly? Yeah, I mean the sense

64
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,679
Speaker 1: of you control the ball, you take away some of

65
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: the explosiveness of the line for Detroit. Yeah, yeah, No,

66
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: I think there's a way to play every game. Um,

67
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: that's what we work towards during the week, whether that's

68
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: control the ball, score point. I mean, there's a lot

69
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: of things that go into it based on how they play, too,

70
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 1: and that's what we're trying to work through here. Yea. Yeah.

71
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, when I was coordinator for

72
00:03:55,640 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: Tony Sperano, Tony said, hey, I got this guy, Um,

73
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 1: I think would be good. I just you know, why

74
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 1: don't we interview him? You don't, you know, you take

75
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: care of the interview. So I interviewed Dan. Um. It

76
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: was a great interview. I mean he's slamming chairs on

77
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,280
Speaker 1: the ground and hitting walls and going through all these

78
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 1: drills and you guys know him. He's a fantastic person,

79
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:26,720
Speaker 1: great family, and uh it was an entertaining interview. H

80
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 1: new a lot, obviously, very passionate, tough as nails, you

81
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 1: could tell, but um, he he was. He was out

82
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: of breath and half that interview stuff he was doing. Yeah,

83
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 1: great guy, What do you think of the job? He's Yeah, No,

84
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 1: I think they played I mean, he's a tough guy. UM,

85
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,479
Speaker 1: very smart. That's why his team plays. It was a

86
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,039
Speaker 1: play the other day where I think it was in

87
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter where Daniel kind of slid but kind

88
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: of went you know body first that he ends up

89
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 1: taking a hip by it they got first out. Do

90
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,159
Speaker 1: you have a coaching point to that, like are you

91
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 1: all right with him going down like that? You wanted

92
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 1: the side you want him to be careful about taking

93
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 1: the hits there? Yeah, I think I think the situations

94
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: are all different, you know, based on where we're at

95
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 1: and what he needed. Um, I trust he's gonna take

96
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: care of himself. But then there's an element of competitiveness

97
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 1: and making sure we get the first down too, and

98
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: you know it's a big play for us that he did.

99
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:26,919
Speaker 1: He's done a good job with that, I got you know,

100
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 1: he's out there with the ball in his hands. You

101
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: got to react in a split second. Um, you can

102
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 1: coach it all you want, but but competitive players, athletic

103
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,280
Speaker 1: quarterbacks and you know they have to learn how to

104
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: do that. I think Dani has done a good job

105
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: of it, and I'm glad he got the first down there.

106
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 1: A bigger picture with him, how important is it for

107
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 1: his evaluation for him, he hasn't done it yet in

108
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 1: his career to stay healthy and last or all seventeen games. Yeah,

109
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,919
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm not worried about that. I'm just focused

110
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:57,840
Speaker 1: on getting ready to play the lines and helping him

111
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:01,479
Speaker 1: be the best he can be. When we procedure he

112
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,479
Speaker 1: had in the off season, make a play like that

113
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 1: anymore concerning to you when you see it. No, No,

114
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: when he's playing as well as he is, is there

115
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 1: a temptation to open things up? Obviously got to run

116
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:17,559
Speaker 1: every team this season, but I mean had one fifty

117
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 1: scree pass right and the other day he was almost

118
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:24,479
Speaker 1: perfect in a lot of ways. Yeah, I know, I

119
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: think Pad ass that after it was after the game

120
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 1: or the next day about conservative. Ye, But we just

121
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: try to do what we think we need to do

122
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: for that week. Um, you know, whatever that is, that's

123
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:35,719
Speaker 1: what we're gonna try to do. You think you could

124
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 1: want to shoot out if you if you had to, Yeah,

125
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: I mean, whatever we need to do, that's what That's

126
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: what that's what we're charged with. Every game is different,

127
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 1: Every situations and game that come up are different. Um,

128
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:47,600
Speaker 1: you know, we just try to call it game plan

129
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 1: the way we think we need to And as an

130
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: offensive coach, do you like shoot at I like winning

131
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 1: so with it's three to two, and our job is

132
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 1: to try to find a way to win. Um, however

133
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 1: that is that's what I like. Just to clarify, Campbell

134
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:08,919
Speaker 1: did not get the job if he did, absolutely absolutely

135
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 1: and he was there like the next day at five

136
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: thirty power cleaning and squatting, and I wasn't there with him.

137
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 1: I was watching. But h yeah, no, he absolutely did.

138
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 1: He's great. I loved working with him. Leo and Decks

139
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: playing as much as they are, and you need to

140
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 1: find a way to spell them a little more again

141
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 1: much like we just try to do whatever we think

142
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 1: we do to win the game. Yeah, no, we have

143
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 1: Look those guys are those guys are in shape. We'll

144
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: give deck some time off here today. Um. No, they're

145
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 1: really you know, they're good players for us, and when

146
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 1: they need spells, will give them spells. Um. But they've

147
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: done a good job so far trying to practice sake

148
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: once smart do you try to do with him during

149
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 1: the week to make sure he gets the Sunday We

150
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 1: make sure we give all the running acts reps in

151
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 1: there so he's not taking every single rep. Um. If

152
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 1: we have to back off some, we back off some. Again,

153
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 1: every player is a little bit different. You treat him, Um,

154
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 1: treating fairly based on you know what they go through

155
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: during the week of a game too. Um. He takes

156
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: a lot of shots and you know, him and I

157
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 1: have good conversations. If he needs something, Um, I'm more

158
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: than happy to give it to him. You guys signed

159
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 1: Vernon Butler to practice squad. Was that a product in

160
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 1: part because you were moving Mondo up and you wanted

161
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 1: another Yeah? Yeah, I mean it's like the offensive line.

162
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: You try to get as many of them in there

163
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: as you can. Um. Yeah, I know Vernon, Joe nos

164
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,439
Speaker 1: Vernon came in, had a little bit of a workout,

165
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 1: so I thought he'd be a good addition to a

166
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 1: practice squad. Yeah, Fleece is good. Belton will be limited.

167
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 1: The next ray the other day was that, Yeah, he'll be,

168
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: he'll be, he'll be fun. You just limited today. Does

169
00:08:56,320 --> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 1: Kenny Golladay need to earn his way back into why

170
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 1: not for this week or how do you view his situation? Yeah? No,

171
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: to me, it's the same every week when we go

172
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 1: through practice, we practice Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, then we sit

173
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: down Friday and decide exactly what we're gonna do. Give

174
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 1: everybody reps um go week by week. You talked about

175
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 1: how this is sort of the toughest stretch of his

176
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: professional career and mentally it seemed, how do you see

177
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,839
Speaker 1: him holding up? And do you have to sort of

178
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 1: continue to check in there to make sure that you

179
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: know he's No I'd say, I'd say Kenny's a pro.

180
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 1: I mean, he's done, comes in, works hard, listens to

181
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 1: the meetings, goes through the walk through his practices. Um,

182
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 1: he's been a pro. But how do you how do

183
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 1: you in you know, makes sense of that? I mean,

184
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 1: he's never been a guy who's had a ton of

185
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:46,680
Speaker 1: trouble catching them ball. I was, you know, he's to play.

186
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 1: He you know, he's made probably a thousand times before,

187
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: and then he's missing those pretty not not consistently, but

188
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 1: more way more than he probably has ever done in

189
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 1: the past. I know. I just think we take a

190
00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 1: week by week and go out there and practice and

191
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:04,440
Speaker 1: say how goes at the end of the week. Why

192
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 1: why did your defense so good? Execution? I mean, it's

193
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 1: the execute will, It's It's not like very complicated in

194
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 1: terms of you know, if you do your job, you

195
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: give yourself a chance to make a play or execute

196
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 1: a particular whether it's offense, defense, whatever it may be.

197
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: Those guys do a good job each week of honing

198
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 1: in on the game plan. Coaches do a good job

199
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 1: of installing a game plan, and you know, at the

200
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 1: end of the day, the players got to make the

201
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 1: plays down there. Um, it's been important. You know, it's

202
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:40,719
Speaker 1: done a good job of holding them out against the run.

203
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: Talked about him the way he's playing and run. Yeah, No,

204
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 1: I think he's done a good job. I think Drew

205
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,960
Speaker 1: does a really good job with him. Um, he understands,

206
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 1: you know, the important stuff setting the edge and knocked

207
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 1: back and getting off blocks, and you know, we asked

208
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 1: him to do a variety of things, you know, just

209
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 1: not setting a run but drop in Russian. I think

210
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:06,439
Speaker 1: he's he's made progress since he's been here. M
