1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 1: How work good? A thought on coaching great quarterbacks over

2
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:06,360
Speaker 1: the years.

3
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 2: Do you notice anything, you know, we've got a big

4
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:12,879
Speaker 2: game six to seven to of your quarterback height and

5
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 2: awareness or preparation or demeanor or anything else in a

6
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:16,159
Speaker 2: week like this.

7
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:21,920
Speaker 1: I hope it's no different, I really do, and it

8
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,280
Speaker 1: hasn't been different, which is a good thing. This week.

9
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 1: So I think every regular season game counts the same.

10
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 1: They're all big for us. I think they're all opportunities

11
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:38,480
Speaker 1: for us to go out there and you know, take

12
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 1: our preparation to the field. We have three hours a

13
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,879
Speaker 1: week that we get to perform. Are I know we

14
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 1: work all week, but really three hours where we get

15
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:50,199
Speaker 1: an opportunity to perform against an opponent. So I know,

16
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 1: the the best players, not just quarterbacks, that I've had

17
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 1: a chance to be around, have treated every one of

18
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 1: them the same, you know, and and prepare as hard

19
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: as they can, be as thorough with their preparation as

20
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: possible so that they're ready to put their best foot

21
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 1: forward on Sunday or game day and go out there

22
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 1: and play fast and sure of what they're doing. So

23
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 1: hopefully that's what we're doing this week.

24
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 3: Josh, understand that every sack is different things stood up

25
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 3: here this year.

26
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 1: You could say, how these are my fault? What is

27
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,679
Speaker 1: the how do you how do you deal with is

28
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 1: obviously taking acceptance of it, but like, how do you

29
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 1: deal with sort of fixing? I don't know that fixing

30
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 1: is the right phraseology. Honestly, I think this is a

31
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: This is kind of a complicated solution. None of us

32
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: want to go backwards, least least of all him. But

33
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: I think that we're trying to thread a fine line

34
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: here of you know, making those plays off schedule, which

35
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: everyone loves, including me, he does, everybody else does, and

36
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: then doing something where we hang on to it a

37
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: little longer than maybe we could, and then incur a

38
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 1: negative play or a turnover, which we don't want to. Obviously,

39
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 1: we don't want to do those either. So I think,

40
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 1: you know, I think generally speaking, our past protection has

41
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: been pretty sound. And I also think that he's made

42
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 1: some really good plays with his legs and extended some

43
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,519
Speaker 1: things and made some good pass plays by extending the plays.

44
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 1: So I don't think we want to over coach that

45
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: and take that away from him, which we're not doing.

46
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: I think as a young player who's going to continue

47
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 1: to learn. Hopefully we'll eventually find that real sweet spot

48
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: where it's like, you know what, I have a great

49
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: feeling for this. I don't feel like there's something there,

50
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: but I also don't think there's a great opening for

51
00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 1: me to extend it and then making some decisions to

52
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:04,519
Speaker 1: do something else with the ball. So that's a hard

53
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 1: thing to simulate in practice. When you don't let anybody

54
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: go and hit the quarterback when he's wearing a red

55
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: jersey and you don't want anybody around his throwing hand,

56
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 1: it's not as easy to practice as you wish it was,

57
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 1: you know, And me and Ashton running at him, you know,

58
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 1: with practice dummies doesn't necessarily do the trick. So I

59
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: think he's very well aware of his role in past

60
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 1: protection in general and what he wants to do. But

61
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: I think each situation is different, you know. Like I said,

62
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 1: he's never trying to do the wrong thing, which we'll

63
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: start with that, and I love the way he plays.

64
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 1: We're going to try to avoid negative situations the best

65
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: we can. And again, like I said, I think our

66
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: pass protection for the most part has been good, you know.

67
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: And then we we're gonna have to live with a

68
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: few of those here and there. If we're going to

69
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: be excited about the other ones, come said, you.

70
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 2: Know, and going through breaths because he's so athletic and bobile.

71
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 2: Is it like one two and go or is there

72
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 2: like sort of a line that you guys coach in

73
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 2: terms of how long you would like him to kind

74
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 2: of progress through a read on a given I think.

75
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: It depends on the play. Some reads are a little

76
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: quicker than others. But you know, what's the depth of

77
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 1: the route? Have we added anything to the protection? You know,

78
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: we have some things where we add people into the

79
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:28,039
Speaker 1: protection which gives us a little bit more time the

80
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 1: routes might be a little longer developing. So I think

81
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: each play is a little different in that regard. I

82
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: think how he feels about the pocket, what he feels

83
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 1: in front him, because you never want him to be

84
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: staring at it and looking at it. So that's a

85
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 1: feel thing for QB whose eyes are down the field,

86
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 1: which his are. So I think some plays are a

87
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 1: little quicker, some plays aren't. And and part of every

88
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,840
Speaker 1: play is the actual feeling of the rush. You know,

89
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 1: if you feel it, you have to move and slide

90
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: and you feel threat, then maybe your read is over

91
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 1: if you move and slide and you slide into a

92
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 1: comfortable spot in the pocket and then you continue to read.

93
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 1: So it's not as easy as saying it's it's this

94
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 1: is this, and this is that. It's a hard thing

95
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,919
Speaker 1: to make a cookie cutter read, uh for the quarterback.

96
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 1: So again, I think generally speaking, he's done a really

97
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:23,280
Speaker 1: nice job going through his progressions and doing the right things.

98
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 1: And you know, like I said, well, we'll continue to

99
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: work on trying to make them all the right way,

100
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 1: knowing that it's an imperfect situation.

101
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 2: Kyle Williams is just want to be super in practice

102
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 2: and what does he have to do to make a

103
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 2: bigger a backer the second actors.

104
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,479
Speaker 1: I think Kyle's doing a lot of really good things,

105
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: you know, And he's a young player who's you know,

106
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: come in and he's you know, some of the guys

107
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 1: that have been in front of him have really done

108
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,839
Speaker 1: a nice job, you know, And so I think that's

109
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 1: part of the role of a young player who's trying

110
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 1: to progress is you know, you you wait your turn,

111
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: you get your opportunities, and then you know, you make

112
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,280
Speaker 1: hopefully you make some plays and you continue to earn

113
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 1: more so practice is hard every day. He's out there

114
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 1: every day, which is an important part for a young

115
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 1: player to develop. He knows what to do. He's played

116
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,279
Speaker 1: multiple spots. He knows how to function in multiple spots.

117
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 1: And we'll see if if there's more opportunities out here

118
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:15,039
Speaker 1: as we go forward.

119
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 3: Todd Bowles haven't have faced him so many times now.

120
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 3: You know, we speak about coaches like him who blits

121
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 3: a lot nebulous. You know, they can send anyone or

122
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 3: they spend the dial. What specifically makes his blitz package

123
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 3: so difficult?

124
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 1: He I mean, I think people will say, like what

125
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 1: you just mentioned, you know, it's kind of exotic and unconventional,

126
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: but it's so well scouted and there's a purpose for

127
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 1: what he does. A great, great deal of respect for

128
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 1: for Todd and what he's done. I don't know how

129
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 1: many times it is we've competed against each other, but

130
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,840
Speaker 1: it's a lot, and none of them are easy. You're

131
00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:00,479
Speaker 1: exhausted at the end of the game. There's a challenge

132
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 1: to the way you enter the game, and then all

133
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: of a sudden the game takes on a different reality,

134
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, there's been games where he's blitzed

135
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 1: us endlessly, and then there's been other games where it's

136
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 1: been a little bit more tempered, but there's always a

137
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 1: reason for it, which, like I said, I've been so

138
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: impressed with. And if he finds something that's an issue,

139
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: he's going to make it an issue as long as

140
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: he can. So this defense is physical, sound, athletic, fast, disruptive, connected,

141
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 1: like most of Todd's defenses have always been so great

142
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 1: players throughout the defense that have all made really big plays,

143
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 1: impactful plays for him. And then the scheme you top

144
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 1: it off with. The scheme is very challenging. So on

145
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: the road, great great, great challenge ahead of us, looking

146
00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: forward to continuing our preparation here and being ready to

147
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 1: go for Sunday for a big one.

148
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 2: Regarding the strain that defense puts on you, specifically the

149
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 2: quarterback in the center when it comes to adjusting protection calls,

150
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 2: how do you describe the challenge.

151
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: They face Todd? Yeah, you know, it's it's it's up

152
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 1: there with the most you're gonna see, there's no doubt.

153
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 1: You know, we just got done playing against Jeff's defense

154
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 1: and that was tough, and then here we go, you know,

155
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 1: a different style, but very much the same personality in

156
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 1: terms of you know, aggressive, you know, trying to find

157
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 1: a weakness if they can, an opportunity to create a

158
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 1: negative play, opportunity to create forced turnovers, those kind of

159
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 1: things on defense, you know, on the road. Uh, you

160
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 1: know that certainly makes it a little bit more challenging.

161
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 1: I think our guys have responded pretty decent playing on

162
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 1: the road with noise in some difficult environment so far

163
00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:00,199
Speaker 1: this year, and it's going to be another one. It's

164
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: gonna be very similar, So uh need to do a

165
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 1: great job of pre snap communication and then really honestly,

166
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 1: because it's gonna come down to us following our rules

167
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 1: and doing the things we need to do. And that's

168
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 1: not a one or two man show. Uh. Everybody's got

169
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:15,680
Speaker 1: to have a job to do and we all got

170
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: to be tied together and connected on it. And then

171
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 1: I'm sure they're going to challenge us in that regard

172
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 1: and we're gonna need to answer the challenge with our execution.

173
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 2: How do you how do you feel the running backs

174
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 2: not named Rimandre have been doing in terms of our BLTZ.

175
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 3: Pick up of late obviously treviogi.

176
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 1: One interront, They're they're They've done a nice job with

177
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 1: their opportunities. There's all. Look, I mean, blitz pick up

178
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 1: is is not a win or lose proposition. Blitz pip

179
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 1: pick up sometimes is you as as the blitzer is

180
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 1: getting nearer the quarterback, you have to give them enough

181
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: time to get the ball off. And so if your

182
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: guys not sacking the quarterback or hitting the quarterback on

183
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 1: a regular basis, to me, that's a positive play for us. Okay,

184
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 1: I mean, running backs have to do it, you know,

185
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 1: when they're called upon, but it's not something that they

186
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,839
Speaker 1: practice every single day all day like linemen do and

187
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 1: those kind of things. So you know, I don't look

188
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 1: at it in terms of, well this you know, this

189
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 1: was a bad day for them and blitz pick up

190
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,559
Speaker 1: or this was a missed opportunity. You just look at

191
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 1: it in terms of their technique and fundamentals, which have

192
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: generally been decent, and they are improving. For two young players, right,

193
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 1: that's not something that naturally come out of college and

194
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 1: everything's perfect. So they're both improving in terms of where

195
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 1: their hands are, how they need to fit it. The

196
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 1: blitzers are different. This week's a huge challenge because of

197
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 1: how physical they are, but you know, sometimes losing slow

198
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 1: is what you need to do, you know, and just

199
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 1: giving the quarterback enough time. So we've had some really

200
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 1: really good backs here that have passed protected well for

201
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 1: a long time that lost slow and diets that Dante

202
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 1: Scarneki used to say that if you're going to die,

203
00:10:58,280 --> 00:10:59,959
Speaker 1: die slow, give them enough time to get it off.

204
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:04,479
Speaker 1: So you know, that's part of every blitz pickup scenario.

205
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 1: So can't die too slow, all right, and certainly not

206
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 1: die quick. But I'm encouraged with what we're doing, like

207
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 1: where their eyes are at, because that's where it starts.

208
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: If you're looking at the right thing, you have a

209
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 1: chance to block it. And hopefully we'll continue to improve

210
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,680
Speaker 1: as we go through the season. Thanks, thank you,
