1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:10,079 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yea Halloween. I don't read any us takes. 2 00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:15,040 Speaker 2: May not be available. Remindre will be out for this week. 3 00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:17,680 Speaker 2: Everybody else does not have a designation. 4 00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:24,360 Speaker 1: Is it from the game or practice? Nic I wanted 5 00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:28,840 Speaker 1: to ask you about follow up. It's actually different taking 6 00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:31,880 Speaker 1: a hard time four. You shown you've been willing to 7 00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:32,760 Speaker 1: go for it this year. 8 00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:36,520 Speaker 2: I'm just curious, like since you even in your short 9 00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:38,479 Speaker 2: time as a head coach, maybe dating back to twenty eight, 10 00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:42,880 Speaker 2: and how is fourth down thinking evolved across the league. Well, 11 00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:44,839 Speaker 2: I mean, I think it's just gotten more aggressive. I 12 00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:50,120 Speaker 2: think that it's you know, with just the amount of possessions. 13 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:52,840 Speaker 2: I think that you end up having sometimes there could 14 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:54,840 Speaker 2: be as few as eight possessions and you. 15 00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:56,120 Speaker 1: Have to make the most of them. 16 00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:59,280 Speaker 2: Uh sometimes you know, you get ten, you get eleven, 17 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:02,960 Speaker 2: and you don't want to be reckless. You want to 18 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:08,440 Speaker 2: be sound in your decision making, field location flow at 19 00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,720 Speaker 2: a game and what that looks like, you know, for example, 20 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,000 Speaker 2: end of the half we talked about it Buffalo, right, 21 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,679 Speaker 2: just feeling like we didn't want to go in at 22 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,160 Speaker 2: half risking that it to be tied and whatever that 23 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,679 Speaker 2: emotional was for us and the way that we were 24 00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 2: playing three to three game took the field goal. 25 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 1: You know, could could be a different story. 26 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 2: This weekend, for example, if that ball's on the one 27 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:35,479 Speaker 2: yard line with an untimed down. 28 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 1: So it's just kind of the flow of the game. 29 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:42,120 Speaker 2: But obviously it's a situation where you try to use 30 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:47,279 Speaker 2: whatever numbers that that we have game condition. Yeah, whether 31 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 2: all things that factor into. 32 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 1: It with the laundry, is that something that you think 33 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 1: of you a long term Well, I certainly won't be 34 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 1: this week with him. 35 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 3: How much will your definitely tested three fewcomers and your practice, 36 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 3: how come would you. 37 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 1: Feel upon them good? You know? 38 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 2: I mean that's we try to figure out who's ready 39 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 2: to go at the end of the week, and we'll 40 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 2: make that decision tomorrow, just like we tell everybody when 41 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 2: they get here on Wednesday, whoever's here on the active 42 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,800 Speaker 2: or the practice squad prepares a starter. I feel like 43 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:18,640 Speaker 2: those guys have done that and try to do that, 44 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 2: and you know, continue to try to get everybody ready 45 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 2: for the football game and see where we're at from 46 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:25,959 Speaker 2: a number. 47 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 1: Standpoint, which doesn't help with Darnis just have him so 48 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 1: much experience. 49 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:33,239 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I think that again, different categories of 50 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 2: players that are on the practice squad, young guys that 51 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 2: you're taking a look at maybe for future development and 52 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,640 Speaker 2: see how they fit into what you do. Uh, and 53 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,119 Speaker 2: then other guys that have played in this league and 54 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 2: can get ready on a shorter amount of times. 55 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:48,639 Speaker 1: Do you think we just about it out in twelve times? 56 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 1: I think one is a great teammate. I believe that. 57 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 1: I know that I've seen that he cares about his teammates. 58 00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 1: He plays hard. 59 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 2: Unself and then he run hard, and he runs hard. 60 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 2: I think he's improved, He's improved his skill set from 61 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 2: the time that we've gotten here in the spring, and 62 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 2: you know, it's taking advantage of his opportunities, whether that 63 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:13,360 Speaker 2: be on a special teams unit. 64 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,359 Speaker 1: Had a couple of tackles last week and was excited. 65 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 2: Everybody was excited that we got one of those special 66 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:24,639 Speaker 2: teams game ball recognitions. And he's done a good job 67 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 2: when he's been in there, so you know, excited to 68 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:29,639 Speaker 2: see him continue to play, Like knowing how. 69 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 3: Much trust he had in remindery and pass protection half 70 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 3: at all of the other guys' don't it as much 71 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 3: experience this season and that role change. 72 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 2: The passing play well, I mean, we'll have to continue 73 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 2: to find ways to protect our quarterback the best way 74 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 2: that we can. 75 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 1: I mean, he's one of our best players. That goes 76 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 1: without saying. 77 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 2: So, however, we're doing that based on the fronts that 78 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 2: they give us, the looks that they give us. If 79 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 2: it's a five look, if it's a you know, a 80 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 2: backer or nickel off the ball, you know, we'll have 81 00:03:58,000 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 2: to make sure that we're sounding protection and then we 82 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 2: you know, are are getting to where we need to be. 83 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 2: But also, you know, it's one thing to know one 84 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 2: where you're supposed to be. It's another to go over 85 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 2: there and and to get the block done. So, whether 86 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 2: that's the lineman, the tight ends, anybody that's associated with 87 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 2: that job to you know, protect a quarterback on the pressure, 88 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:19,919 Speaker 2: they need to be able to do that. Well, just 89 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 2: your reaptions and Marcus Jones being named AFC depending on 90 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 2: the mone always excited when good things happen. Two good 91 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 2: people that put work in that are consistent, you know, 92 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,920 Speaker 2: so I think you know, what was probably the most 93 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 2: exciting for me was watching this teammates reaction to that. 94 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 1: So that's always fun. In terms of some of the 95 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 1: players that you've brought in this week and perhaps others 96 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 1: to come. How important is culture and lack room? 97 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:53,919 Speaker 3: Did you fit especially time be. 98 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 2: I mean, I think it's important, you know, it's you know, 99 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:00,120 Speaker 2: it's a role that you have to you know, I 100 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:04,280 Speaker 2: mean the balance right, You're just trying to you know, 101 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 2: get it right. And whoever we add to this team. Again, 102 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 2: we've tried to establish something here as far as what 103 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 2: we want to be and. 104 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 1: Who we are. 105 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:19,919 Speaker 2: So I think we will always be conscious of the person. 106 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,920 Speaker 2: You know, do you have to have talent? And then 107 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,919 Speaker 2: there's the you know, whether that's this week or next 108 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:28,479 Speaker 2: March or next July. 109 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 1: Always wigh the. 110 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 2: Trust that we have with somebody and their ability and 111 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 2: where that falls. So those are decisions that we have 112 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,039 Speaker 2: to make. Is as far as player acquisition, right on 113 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:41,800 Speaker 2: that point. 114 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 3: Like the character sort of raise, it seems like you've 115 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 3: made a concerted effort to give this program, this team 116 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 3: its own identity and separated from some of the success 117 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 3: of the past. 118 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 1: The next player introductions, you don't do. 119 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,280 Speaker 3: The ah yeah after the win, I don't think I'll 120 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 3: do your job very much this year. 121 00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 1: Why is that important for this program? Its own idea? 122 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 2: Well, let's first just say I mean, it's been a 123 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 2: lot of a lot of years since that has happened. 124 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:11,720 Speaker 2: So I don't know how many people really around here 125 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:17,360 Speaker 2: know other than Stacy, Nancy, Jim Whaling, you know what 126 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,280 Speaker 2: I mean. So we're just trying to do what we 127 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,599 Speaker 2: feel like is best and what the players and the communication. 128 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 1: And me and. 129 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:28,480 Speaker 2: The staff and Elliott and everybody else involved that that's 130 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 2: all we're trying to do is. 131 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,480 Speaker 1: Just trying to win games. 132 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 2: Get good guys enjoy coming to work, coaches out of them, 133 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 2: watch them have success, be excited for him. None of 134 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:44,600 Speaker 2: that goes in and well they did it this way, 135 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,040 Speaker 2: We're going to do it the opposite. Like there's a 136 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,039 Speaker 2: lot of things and ideas that are good that you 137 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 2: take from people, and there's some things that you come 138 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 2: up with that on your own that that's good, and 139 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,479 Speaker 2: then there's some ones that are clunkers. And when they're clunkers, 140 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 2: you own it and change and you didn't fix it. 141 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:04,839 Speaker 2: So you know, we'll make some modifications to the to 142 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 2: the player announcements and we'll get the names in order 143 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 2: this time, and we'll go from there and we'll have 144 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 2: you know, I mean again, it's it's you know, we 145 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 2: just want to try, you know. 146 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 1: I mean again, I'm excited. I like, I love coaching 147 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 1: these guys. It's fun. They may come to work a 148 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 1: lot of fun and we'll go from there. And I'm 149 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 1: not saying you're disrespecting. That was not what I meant 150 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 1: that you were in any way. I didn't take it. 151 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 1: I didn't take it that a way. 152 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:29,640 Speaker 3: I just want to get in your mind. Is there 153 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 3: like a burden that comes with that that you're trying 154 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 3: to erase, sort of the burden of the pass for 155 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 3: some of these guys are trying to live up to 156 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 3: the patentston and what. 157 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 1: This organization has done. 158 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 2: I mean two years, you know, I mean it's we 159 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 2: can get I don't know what the burden is. They're 160 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 2: won eight games in two years, so none of that matters. 161 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 2: Whether it was a super Bowl or not very good year, 162 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 2: it doesn't matter. So I mean, in this league, if 163 00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 2: you take a nap, you're going to get beat. And 164 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 2: that's just how it is. So we're not trying to 165 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 2: take a nap. We want to try to just play 166 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 2: good football, be competitive, take advantage of our opportunities, take 167 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 2: care of football, you know, like complimentary play sound, create 168 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 2: some more plays and kicking game, all these things that 169 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 2: we're talking about doing. And I don't have enough time 170 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 2: to focus on what happened yesterday, let alone what happened 171 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,120 Speaker 2: seven years ago. Can you recall another time in your 172 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 2: coaching career that you had three scouting players at the 173 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 2: same number.
