Speaker 1: Guys. Injuries from the game, uh.
Speaker 2: Fred Warner had an ankle, did not return, Kittle ribs
Speaker 2: did return, Jordan Elliott had a knee did not return.
Speaker 2: Cowing shoulder did return. Con le o'bleak finished the game.
Speaker 3: And Juice went out there at the end with the
Speaker 3: shoulder go ahead.
Speaker 1: I don't I know.
Speaker 3: Fred tried to go, came out in the third corner,
Speaker 3: tried to go, but didn't feel like you could.
Speaker 1: Prognosis on Elliott.
Speaker 3: Uh no, no, I mean I don't think we don't
Speaker 3: think it was an a c L or anything, but
Speaker 3: it was just has some swollowen and stuff, so he
Speaker 3: couldn't go. That defensive start helped you guys today especially.
Speaker 1: That was awesome.
Speaker 3: I mean, I thought the defense was awesome all day.
Speaker 3: Anytime you score even better, but you know, to start
Speaker 3: out the way they did the first couple of drives,
Speaker 3: especially scoring Fred getting the score, the two turnovers they created,
Speaker 3: I think I didn't get a look at all the stats,
Speaker 3: but I think they were really good on third down. Defensive,
Speaker 3: felt like dominated all day.
Speaker 4: It's been so good for so many years. But defee,
Speaker 4: he's playing at a different level now.
Speaker 3: Uh, I do a little bit it's kind of hard
Speaker 3: to say that. I mean, he's been so good every year,
Speaker 3: so but the way he started out this year, it's
Speaker 3: it's been a big time year for him so far.
Speaker 4: You went up top in this game seemed like three
Speaker 4: or four times. Was that part of the original plan
Speaker 4: or was it something that they were doing defensively that.
Speaker 1: Kind of led to that.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's you always have that stuff in just
Speaker 3: you know, they play cot him in quarters a couple
Speaker 3: of times on both those plays, and their safeties were
Speaker 3: down tight, and that's where the balls got to go,
Speaker 3: and Brock me two good throws and both the guys
Speaker 3: came down with the play, had a third chance that
Speaker 3: was incomplete. Corner did a good job staying on top.
Speaker 3: But I think it was versus all the same coverages.
Speaker 4: There were some good deep Bault last season and the
Speaker 4: season before, But do you think he's better at that
Speaker 4: even now?
Speaker 1: I think it's the same.
Speaker 3: You know, I thought we had some better looks today
Speaker 3: on a couple of them, But now Brock's done a
Speaker 3: real good job with that.
Speaker 4: Uh. The first drive he had two h third dance
Speaker 4: scrambles for first downs and then he who would uh.
Speaker 3: I guess a sack and then through the kittle for
Speaker 3: fifteen yards.
Speaker 4: Is he better at like decision making when it comes
Speaker 4: to you know what to take off, when to stay
Speaker 4: in and grow? You know, I guess from his rookie
Speaker 4: year on.
Speaker 3: I mean, I think he started doing it more last year.
Speaker 3: He's done it a lot this year. It's something he
Speaker 3: did in college a lot. I think Brock has just
Speaker 3: got the confidence on winning to hang in there and
Speaker 3: try to make the play work and when to break
Speaker 3: and by time and try to make a play getting
Speaker 3: people open later off schedule or trying to move with
Speaker 3: his legs. And it's in a hell of a job
Speaker 3: of that these last two weeks. If he didn't do
Speaker 3: that in the playoff last year, I don't think we
Speaker 3: would have got to the super Bowl. So uh, I
Speaker 3: think he did it then too, and love having that
Speaker 3: asset of our offense. It's in a hell of a
Speaker 3: job with that. He a rendo fumble?
Speaker 1: Is that just a rookie play?
Speaker 4: How do you chalk down?
Speaker 3: I chalk it up to an NFL football player getting
Speaker 3: head and fumbling it.
Speaker 1: You know, I don't put it on being a rookie.
Speaker 1: I don't.
Speaker 3: I mean you can fumble it whoever you are. It
Speaker 3: was a big fumble, especially opening up in the third quarter.
Speaker 3: I think is what gave them a chance. They answered
Speaker 3: right away. Biggest thing when someone has a turnover, you
Speaker 3: want the defense go out and hold him to three.
Speaker 3: I think they scored on a fourth down. Maybe you know,
Speaker 3: we had a commitment stop trying to stop at inside
Speaker 3: zone run and they had a good play call getting
Speaker 3: out there to score.
Speaker 1: But we'll come back to him. But yeah, that was
Speaker 1: a big fumble.
Speaker 4: The video of Va Friday throwing his shoes and stuff
Speaker 4: didn't look awesome.
Speaker 3: Are you surprised that he cared that much about his shorts?
Speaker 1: No, no, I'm not. They know you guys had it
Speaker 1: on video. That's that stuff happens.
Speaker 3: I mean, well, does it usually happen that a player
Speaker 3: would throw a shoe because he had shorts. I didn't
Speaker 3: see what he threw. Maybe he was just joke and
Speaker 3: laughing about throwing a shoe.
Speaker 1: Maybe he didn't like a.
Speaker 3: Shoe, and then I didn't interview him about about.
Speaker 1: His shoe toss.
Speaker 3: But I hate I hate some of the clothes I
Speaker 3: gotta wear out there also, But it is what it is.
Speaker 4: Reception. Rock kind of just threw it up there for
Speaker 4: maybe Brandon to make a play. Is that something that's
Speaker 4: in the system or that you would prefer.
Speaker 3: No, I don't want him to throw into double coverage.
Speaker 3: But there was a busted route on the backside.
Speaker 1: It looked like Ba was gonna be alone. It was
Speaker 1: man coverage and someone ended up in the wrong spot.
Speaker 3: So, uh, there was a guy Brock wasn't expecting to
Speaker 3: be over there, cause we should have distributed the field.
Speaker 1: A little bit differently. But I didn't like how late
Speaker 1: it was.
Speaker 3: I didn't throw really in the rhythm of the play
Speaker 3: and had a chance early, but it didn't have a
Speaker 3: chance laid and uh, that was a big turnovers one
Speaker 3: of the reasons they had a chance to get back
Speaker 3: in it. But our defense lit up strong.
Speaker 4: This a lot. But is Jawan playing which is a.
Speaker 3: Different level of confident vision, I don't think so. I
Speaker 3: think Jawan was born this confident. He's always like that,
Speaker 3: you guys know. I think how Juan is, He's as
Speaker 3: confident as it gets, and I think that's one of
Speaker 3: his best assets. He's very talented player, But Juwan never
Speaker 3: feels he can be denied and so he's been so
Speaker 3: important to us over the years.
Speaker 4: Plays based on what obviously what your quarterback can do
Speaker 4: and do well at this point or is there any
Speaker 4: plays that you can't call from Rock?
Speaker 1: No, I don't think there's no.
Speaker 3: I think Brock, since he's his first game playing here,
Speaker 3: there hasn't been a type of play. I mean, he's
Speaker 3: very good in the dropback game, play action game. He's
Speaker 3: good on the boot legs and stuff. You know, we
Speaker 3: don't call too many like zone reading things with them.
Speaker 3: I think he'd be capable of it, but we're not
Speaker 3: trying to make a living off that. But you know,
Speaker 3: Brock has been one of the most consistent players in
Speaker 3: the league since the first game he's played.
Speaker 4: I see what, you guys outlot more blitzes than than
Speaker 4: you usually do. How much of that as a result
Speaker 4: of Jayvon being gone and how much is just kind
Speaker 4: of the appoint.
Speaker 1: I think I think all of it.
Speaker 3: Uh, you know, when you know there's a lot of
Speaker 3: run blitzer in there too, because of how heavy of
Speaker 3: a run team they are and stuff.
Speaker 1: But Nick did a real good job today. The whole
Speaker 1: defense did really good off.
Speaker 4: In the starting lineup.
Speaker 1: Do you think he was ready for Was there a
Speaker 1: need there mustafa? Uh, yeah, we thought he was ready
Speaker 1: for it.
Speaker 3: I mean when him and g O were going, you know,
Speaker 3: we started rotating him a little, I think the second week,
Speaker 3: so he's been doing awesome in practice. We started to
Speaker 3: mix him in there in game two. I think Helf
Speaker 3: came back in game three, so we didn't need to
Speaker 3: do it. But when we found out howf can have
Speaker 3: played today, we knew he was next.
Speaker 4: Man up to playing today.
Speaker 3: Is this something I don't think so, I mean it's
Speaker 3: you know, he we thought he would play today, but
Speaker 3: we knew it would be a game time decision. He
Speaker 3: got here early, he worked out, and he didn't feel
Speaker 3: like he could go, and I'm really glad that he didn't.
Speaker 1: You make a Mason.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's rare for running back to go for
Speaker 2: five yards to carry, and this guy's doing it almost
Speaker 2: every single game he plays.
Speaker 3: I mean, JP runs so hard when you commit to
Speaker 3: the run and he gets a number of carries, it's
Speaker 3: just eventually he's gonna get him, you know. I mean
Speaker 3: he's just apologizing for I walked in here because there's
Speaker 3: a couple he missed, which is the type of guy
Speaker 3: he is there was some that he left out there,
Speaker 3: but there's also when I feel there's nothing there. And
Speaker 3: he also always gets a lot more than I'm expecting.
Speaker 3: So he's been he's been a stud this year. He's
Speaker 3: been a stud every time we've given him the ball,
Speaker 3: and he's really taking advantage of his opportunity.
Speaker 4: Dan Anderson got a fair amount of snaps today.
Speaker 2: What were you seeing from him that allowed him to
Speaker 2: get ummed up today?
Speaker 4: And how do you think he did?
Speaker 1: I mean that was just cause injuries. It was next
Speaker 1: man up.
Speaker 3: You know, he had two guys on practice squad and
Speaker 3: they battled it out all week to see who would
Speaker 3: get their run, and uh, he won and he's gonna
Speaker 3: be part of that four person rotation. And then those
Speaker 3: in Jordan Elliott in the game made it much more
Speaker 3: important cause you only have three left and that's why
Speaker 3: you got to play probably more than we expected him to,
Speaker 3: and it seemed like he did a good job out there.
Speaker 3: I'll definitely watch the tape, but it's always good to
Speaker 3: get some young guys some experience, and especially doing.
Speaker 1: It after I went the defensive played in.
Speaker 3: General, I mean, from what I saw it there, it
Speaker 3: seemed like they dominated the run in the pass game,
Speaker 3: so I was really excited with them, especially losing a
Speaker 3: Hardgrave last week.
Speaker 1: We really needed to step it up.
Speaker 3: And then losing Jordan in this game too just made
Speaker 3: them down a man, and I thought they played well
Speaker 3: throughout the game first quarter to fourth.
Speaker 4: You want to be fifty fifty run past. You always
Speaker 4: say that, understanding I got you the passed this party success,
Speaker 4: May you think, yeah, we can go through a whe
Speaker 4: I think you were sixty to forty pass most of
Speaker 4: this game until the end when you're running it. Is
Speaker 4: it a case where your quarterback allows you to think out,
Speaker 4: you know what, let's just start throwing the ball.
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 3: Yes, but I think that's how we've been since really
Speaker 3: he's been in or gotten in.
Speaker 1: Took a couple of weeks to realize that, and.
Speaker 3: But usually that's that's is how it works out, you know,
Speaker 3: especially a team like that, the way that they play
Speaker 3: up front. You know they had six guys on the
Speaker 3: line of scrimmage a ton which you can run the
Speaker 3: ball versus that. But if you just think you're gonna
Speaker 3: do it every first down and second down, you're gonna
Speaker 3: be a lot on third and longs and have some
Speaker 3: three and outs, so you got to mix it up
Speaker 3: and you know, get them on their heels, make them
Speaker 3: play some other stuff.
Speaker 1: That's why we had to throw some of those posts today.
Speaker 1: Just the guys they had on the.
Speaker 3: Line of scrimmage, how tight their safeties were. And usually
Speaker 3: when you do that, you get guys backed up and
Speaker 3: when your defense plays like they were, and then you
Speaker 3: can usually close it out by running the ball and
Speaker 3: trying to make sure to keep it a two three
Speaker 3: score game. And I think all those carries was a
Speaker 3: good example of how that's not always just an offensive stat.
Speaker 1: That's a huge team stat.
Speaker 3: A lot of holmost sacks there in the second halfs No,
Speaker 3: I wasn't happy for him. Yeah, I was happy for him.
Speaker 3: I'm happy for everybody who gets a sack. But yeah,
Speaker 3: Jacobe's he's.
Speaker 1: A big man.
Speaker 3: We compare him to like Ben Roethlisberger, Like if you
Speaker 3: don't get your body on him, he doesn't go down.
Speaker 3: You can't just grab that guy and pull him down.
Speaker 3: You got to hit him dead square. And he was
Speaker 3: close coming around the edge a number of times, which
Speaker 3: you can get the strip and stuff. But I haven't
Speaker 3: seen really anybody just pull him down with one arm.
Speaker 3: You got to hit him square, and that's why he's
Speaker 3: one of the more competitive guys I've seen play that position,
Speaker 3: and it usually takes two to take him down.
Speaker 1: All right, guys, thanks,
