1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:04,000
Speaker 1: Wait, wait, hey, William Jordan Lewis obviously on IR now,

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 1: just what's the challenge with him being out? And then

3
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:09,120
Speaker 1: I guess the the the rise.

4
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:09,760
Speaker 2: Of Jarring Joe.

5
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 3: Always hard when you lose a leader, elite communicator, guy

6
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 3: that brings energy and focus and playmaking to our defense.

7
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:22,720
Speaker 2: So that's always hard. But he's handled it like a pro.

8
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 3: He's been extremely confident with the guys around him, continuing

9
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 3: to try to pour into them as much as possible,

10
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 3: and and Jarring is every opportunity. He's continued to get

11
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 3: better and has made some huge plays for us this year.

12
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 3: His play energy is always something that I appreciate, and

13
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 3: he's tackled at a high level, especially in space, So

14
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:49,479
Speaker 3: continuing to get him moving in the right direction and

15
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:50,839
Speaker 3: we're going to need him down the stretch.

16
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:52,519
Speaker 2: Is there a chance he.

17
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 4: Could play again this year if you go far enough

18
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 4: and or will he be ready for OTAs?

19
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not sure the exact timetable, but I wouldn't

20
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 3: expect too much this season.

21
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 1: You've had injuries, you never want them, but throughout the

22
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:06,759
Speaker 1: season you've had a lot of combinations in that secondary.

23
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: I mean, how much confidence is that giving you for

24
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 1: guys like jar and Christian Bradswoz, they you need to.

25
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:12,319
Speaker 2: Send up, Yeah, a lot of confidence.

26
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 3: I think Milo and Perk and those guys have done

27
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 3: a really nice job of preparing that group in the

28
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 3: back end, with both at the corner nickel and safety position.

29
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 3: We've had a lot of guys play and be fortunate

30
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 3: enough to play and to get depth throughout some of

31
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 3: those injuries, and so you know, in the moment you're

32
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 3: you're obviously trying to continue to build the chemistry, but

33
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 3: also knowing that in the long run that depth will

34
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 3: help us and it has helped us. So counting on

35
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 3: those guys in the back end obviously to continue to

36
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 3: play at a high level, and as you go towards

37
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 3: the end of the season, you know, it doesn't really

38
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 3: matter who's out there. It's just, hey man, this is

39
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 3: a job that we have to do. There is a

40
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 3: responsibility that we have to all know the game plan,

41
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 3: communicate at a high level, and go make plays.

42
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: I know you'd rather type them up the field, obviously,

43
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 1: but he's still one of those guys you can contribute

44
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: and just with his presence just still being.

45
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 3: Around definitely already has to be honest with just his

46
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 3: positive energy being in the training room, just no long

47
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 3: face and what.

48
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 2: Was me He's just not the type of guy that

49
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 2: he is.

50
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 3: He'll definitely help us, there's no question throughout the stretch

51
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 3: and as we go. So the guys all trust them,

52
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 3: they all believe in him. He'll have great guidance for

53
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 3: for all those guys that are playing in the back

54
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 3: end and be able to continue to contribute that way.

55
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 4: But a guy like if you have to play monheiment center.

56
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:47,959
Speaker 4: You see after this year, how well has he sort

57
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 4: of picked up the operation with Trevor.

58
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, but he's done a great job, you know, really

59
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 3: all through training camp and then when he had the

60
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 3: opportunity to go play against Washington, he actually graded out

61
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 3: really really nicely. So a lot of confidence in Jonah.

62
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 3: And if he ends up having to go, I think

63
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 3: there'll be good continuity. And you know it's just on

64
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 3: the road environment a little bit different, So we just

65
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 3: got to have to see how he handles it. I

66
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 3: have no question about how we will. But you know,

67
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 3: he's done a nice job and those guys up front

68
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:21,799
Speaker 3: have done a nice job preparing him.

69
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:27,359
Speaker 1: To Oh what do you view Walker little as right now,

70
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: it's still a tackle.

71
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 3: Coo can play guard or just like one of those

72
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 3: other guys that you just throwing revenue on our team,

73
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 3: you know, I mean seriously, it's just having, you know,

74
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 3: being in this position before in twenty twenty two in

75
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 3: LA where it was a tough year of a lot

76
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 3: of different roster assignments up front and having to pull

77
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 3: people off the street and that was a challenge. And

78
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 3: so to have the depth that we've had that we

79
00:03:56,120 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 3: do have on the offensive line was something I think

80
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 3: we did a good job in the off season attacking

81
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 3: whether it was through pro free agency or the draft,

82
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 3: and then continuing to work and develop with the guys

83
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 3: that were here already. That's something that you never want

84
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 3: to be in that position of not having depth and

85
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 3: talent upfront, and so Walker's been able to continue to

86
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 3: contribute to that and appreciative of that you.

87
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 2: Went through that did that reinforce in your mind that

88
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 2: when I'm a head coach, we are never going to

89
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 2: that situation.

90
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was in so much as more like when

91
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 3: I'm in a head coach, but it was more of

92
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,040
Speaker 3: just not wanting to be in that situation again, regardless

93
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,679
Speaker 3: of what position I'm in, and then just so happened

94
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 3: that James had been through that as well in twenty two,

95
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 3: and Tony's an offensive lineman, so it was not a

96
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 3: difficult sell, and we were all on the same page about,

97
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 3: you know, where we needed to add depth, where we

98
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 3: needed to really strongly work on the development, and how

99
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 3: much time and resources need to be put into the

100
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 3: offensive line position. We have three coaches in there, and

101
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 3: so that to me is always going to be of

102
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,840
Speaker 3: top priority or to some of that veteran leadership.

103
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 1: You've got a lot of those young players that have

104
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,839
Speaker 1: had to step into those roles and you've always pointed

105
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 1: towards some of their veteran teammates helped them make sure

106
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: that they're prepared to understand the standard. Yeah, they got

107
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 1: to go out there for it.

108
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 3: That's always the case, right, No, I mean, I think

109
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:31,039
Speaker 3: that the last thing you said was the standard of

110
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 3: upholding the standard. When you have a new player come

111
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 3: in off the street or somebody we just signed, well,

112
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,919
Speaker 3: you know, it's our veterans and leaders responsibility to show

113
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 3: them what the standards are every day of preparation, practice

114
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 3: and then performance ultimately on Sundays and so that's no

115
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,840
Speaker 3: different for you know, young guys stepping into a little

116
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 3: bit more of a focused role, you know, as a

117
00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 3: contributor or somebody that we're elevating off the practice squad

118
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 3: to come and play on Sunday and.

119
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:03,480
Speaker 2: Get a helmet.

120
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 3: I do believe that we are veterans guys that completely

121
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 3: you know, they understand what we're trying to get accomplished.

122
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 3: They're able to voice that message to the locker room

123
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 3: and that we're all on the same page. I think

124
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 3: that's really what it comes down to. If our standards

125
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 3: as coaches are higher or lower than our players, that's

126
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:28,280
Speaker 3: not probably a great sign. And so us understanding as

127
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 3: staff coaches and then also the players understanding what the

128
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 3: standard is and upholding everybody to it on a day

129
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 3: to day basis is sign of growth.

130
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 2: Yeah.

131
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 4: Have you mentioned profree agency and take you back the

132
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 4: first day of March agree to term with eight guys

133
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 4: that night is a staff How excited were you that, Hey,

134
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 4: you got guys that were good players but also would

135
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 4: probably be the charge for you.

136
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, we were excited about the group that we were

137
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 3: able to put together. I think a lot of people

138
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 3: were questioning, you know's this, How is this one not important?

139
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 3: And Hey, it just comes down to trusting the process

140
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 3: and understanding that you know, we wanted to continue to

141
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 3: elevate this place and the people around us, and those

142
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 3: guys right, a number of them are captains, a number

143
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 3: of them have been key contributors, excuse me, to our season.

144
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 3: And I think it's just a great blend of the

145
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 3: pro free agents, the veterans that we're here, guys that

146
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 3: we're here on this roster collaborating on making this thing

147
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 3: to get where it is today. And so I think

148
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 3: that those guys all get along really well. The guys

149
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 3: that we wanted to bring in here were football guys

150
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 3: that you know, football was very important to them and

151
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 3: their lives and their careers. And so that's blended pretty nicely.

152
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: Process change over the course. So you start the season,

153
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 1: nobody has any tape on what you want to do.

154
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 1: Get to this point in the year. There's a ton

155
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: of tape out there of what you've done over the

156
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 1: course of the season. Got back to that game. Play

157
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 1: a team for the second time.

158
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, mentioned to the players, I think it was yesterday

159
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 3: or two days ago. Is when you play a team

160
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 3: so close together in weeks or days if you will.

161
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 2: It's the team that you know.

162
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 3: Hey, how much can we know our opponent and what

163
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 3: they did against us in the first game, what worked,

164
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 3: what didn't, and okay, what's the next chess move? Right again,

165
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 3: starting to anticipate either your next chess move or theirs.

166
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 3: And that's how much you have to study understand your

167
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 3: own plan first and foremost, and then okay, what are

168
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 3: the next steps that could occur as players and coaches

169
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 3: for all of us to understand some of those things.

170
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 3: And that is the beauty of game planning towards the

171
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:51,680
Speaker 3: end of the year, especially when you're playing somebody this

172
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 3: close again. Is plays off plays, making sure that you're

173
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 3: not straying away from too much of what you do well,

174
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 3: even though maybe it worked two weeks ago, three weeks ago,

175
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:04,199
Speaker 3: whatever it's been. Is making sure that, hey, we want

176
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 3: to still be able to do things that we do well,

177
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 3: but we may have to dress it up differently, or

178
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 3: whatever it is, or hey, maybe we wanted to attack this.

179
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,959
Speaker 3: Certain covers didn't get as much of it against them

180
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 3: the first time, but they've played more of it recently.

181
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 3: Whatever it is, you got to go into archives still,

182
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 3: I mean, I was just watching twenty twenty three Lou

183
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 3: and Arimo. So you go deep and you look in

184
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:27,679
Speaker 3: your search.

185
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:31,679
Speaker 4: Twenty twenty three team.

186
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, how is that just.

187
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 4: The mind of a coach or are you able to

188
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:37,839
Speaker 4: still get a wrinkle or two that.

189
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 3: One or first off, more flow play caller, you know,

190
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:48,559
Speaker 3: situational calls things like that that may show up against

191
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 3: maybe like teams and.

192
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 2: Stuff like that. So you try to go not too

193
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 2: far right.

194
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 3: It's just more so if you if you don't have

195
00:09:57,800 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 3: enough inventory or something, or you just want to see

196
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 3: maybe how a coach or you know, their defense has

197
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 3: evolved or played differently, or what are the improvements and

198
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,960
Speaker 3: things that maybe they've made as a as a defense

199
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 3: and so yeah, different players and all that, but you

200
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 3: can still see and find anything in order for you.

201
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 1: To get that far back ers it because you're playing

202
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 1: them the second time, you've already covered a lot of grounds.

203
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 2: That's more what it is.

204
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe twenty twenty for Buck State for even so.

205
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 3: Oh, I absolutely yeah, they've won hundred percent watched Bucks film,

206
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 3: there's no question. So yeah, that's because look, you only

207
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 3: get so many are short yardage plays on a season

208
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:46,079
Speaker 3: or third and seven on the sevens, Like, you don't

209
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 3: have a ton of those even throughout our season this year.

210
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 2: Maybe short yards.

211
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 3: More, yes, but like third and nine on the nine,

212
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,839
Speaker 3: twelve on the twelve and a half in the game,

213
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 3: like two minute situations four minutes. You know, you only

214
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 3: get so many of these plays if you will, to

215
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 3: put into a grouping, and so you just want to

216
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 3: make sure you have a sample size and you can

217
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 3: pull outliers out and be able to then kind of

218
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 3: move different tendencies either up or down based on some

219
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 3: of that data. But you're not exactly saying, man, we're

220
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 3: going to attack this all the time because that was

221
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 3: two years ago, and you want.

222
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 2: Those coaches it has that.

223
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 4: Photographic memory of like three years ago we saw this

224
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 4: and I called this and it worked, or type of

225
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 4: thing like that.

226
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm not Shawn by any means like that,

227
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 3: but you know, I you usually have a better feel

228
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 3: for things that you've called, right, like when you're calling it,

229
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 3: and you remember play calls a lot differently than when

230
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 3: you weren't calling it, if you will, right. So yeah,

231
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 3: I mean I think a lot of those situations and

232
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 3: plays that I've probably called, I can you know, go

233
00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 3: back on and have a pretty clear remember, you know,

234
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 3: member or memory excuse me of but you know, Sean's

235
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 3: kind of a freak that way.

236
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 1: Mm hmm
