And so what's the schedule? 17 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:50,680 Speaker 3: Look like, I know every coach kind of has something different. 18 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,400 Speaker 3: They get four days off, three days off. Some people 19 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:55,120 Speaker 3: don't let any days off. It's like you kind of 20 00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:56,680 Speaker 3: like break it up so they can't travel too far 21 00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 3: away or whatever. Yeah, how did you guys do it? 22 00:00:58,400 --> 00:00:59,320 Speaker 3: Did they get some time away? 23 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:03,560 Speaker 1: Yeah? Sure, players need it sometimes it's mentally sometimes it's physically. 24 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,480 Speaker 1: In this case, it's both you know, mine, body spirit. 25 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:09,600 Speaker 1: Get it all together. For the coaches, some they'll work 26 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:11,760 Speaker 1: on here, some it may take. Ay, this is what 27 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 1: I want to have done by Sunday, and so take 28 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,200 Speaker 1: the time. Let's put in the work to research what 29 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:18,760 Speaker 1: we want to hit on, how we want to feature it, 30 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 1: and then so we'll kind of reconnect on Sunday. 31 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:23,200 Speaker 2: What do we need to do and how do we 32 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:24,960 Speaker 2: got to get there? And coach, you've got a little 33 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,039 Speaker 2: more and you play. You took over the defensive play calling. 34 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 2: What was it like to be back in that position, 35 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 2: a position you're very familiar with. 36 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, I wanted to make sure I felt the energy 37 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,960 Speaker 1: with the players of going and you know all they 38 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 1: put into it. So I was pleased to see, you know, energy, toughness, 39 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 1: a couple of good goal line stands. Those are things 40 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 1: that I enjoyed seeing and experiencing with the guys. So 41 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 1: that part was a lot of fun. 42 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 3: And it just seemed like, I don't know how you 43 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 3: guys did it. You and the staff were able to 44 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 3: kind of make some pretty big overhauls in the week, 45 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 3: like how'd you get it done? And it must have 46 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,040 Speaker 3: been pretty cool to see that level of commanders football 47 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 3: that you've been talking about the physicality, the toughness come 48 00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 3: to light. 49 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 1: And I thought the defensive staff and the defense players 50 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 1: their collaboration was was big. I thought Joe and the 51 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 1: defensive staff, the players just let's let's trim things down. 52 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 1: Let's get to what we know we can really execute 53 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,080 Speaker 1: up more than anything. Man, I want to call to 54 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 1: go in quickly. The guys can go execute quickly. And 55 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 1: that's where it starts. We've got a long way to go. 56 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 1: We got to create takeaways, you know, find ways to 57 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,800 Speaker 1: you know, do that to give the ball in opts 58 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 1: for the offense. But it was a good first step 59 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 1: of some things that we wanted to play and coach. 60 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 2: Due to all the injuries we've suffered, especially in the secondary, 61 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 2: you had to move some guys around a little bit, 62 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 2: or moved Mikey moved. 63 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 1: What did you see from those guys? 64 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:34,640 Speaker 2: And how happy were you then to know that you 65 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 2: have guys that are so versatile that you can put 66 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 2: them anywhere on the field. 67 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot of resilience, you know, to say, how 68 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 1: do you go about to fight and what does that 69 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,360 Speaker 1: look like? And so as Logan can attest what I 70 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 1: as a coach, what you want to see is how 71 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,240 Speaker 1: hard the guys will compete for one another. And that's 72 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 1: what it always is about, and like why we love 73 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 1: coaching it and why guys like Logan loves playing it, 74 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 1: like how hard they can compete for one another. And 75 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:57,639 Speaker 1: that you get that part right, Brian, and then all 76 00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:59,639 Speaker 1: the other things. You know, you can figure out the 77 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 1: scheme and go and do that. So to see guys 78 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 1: like that really battle it was awesome. Man. 79 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:04,959 Speaker 3: It's like one of the first times we should no 80 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 3: get like extended playing time. Have you seen something from 81 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,960 Speaker 3: him and practice and said, hey, maybe deserves a larger role. 82 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 3: And I think he did a great job at the 83 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 3: Nickel spot. 84 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 1: Yeah he did. And he's such a good competitor. He's 85 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 1: one of our best competitors, Like he is always about it. 86 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 1: And so to know that he could step into those 87 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 1: spaces and he's going to take communication from everybody, especially 88 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,919 Speaker 1: at the Nickel against a team like Miami that would 89 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,680 Speaker 1: shift in motion so often that have to really be 90 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 1: on it, and so you know, I knew he was 91 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 1: down for the challenge. 92 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:32,799 Speaker 2: He used the word competitor, and I immediately think about 93 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 2: Javon Kinlaw on that third down stop right there. 94 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 1: This was a monster play. 95 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 2: What have you been seeing from him not only this 96 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 2: past week but since he's come into the building. 97 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, I was really pleased with the defensive tackles in 98 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 1: the game. We knew we had to be stout inside 99 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 1: in the second half. He saw some of the screens, 100 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 1: Johnny Newton coming out, Eddie Goldman had a big stop 101 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 1: down on the goal line. So interior part of a game. 102 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 1: If you can create havoc, if you can disrupt now, 103 00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 1: you can get some of the timing and the run 104 00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 1: game off. And Javon when man, he can really take 105 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 1: it over. And it was very very cool to see, 106 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 1: and certainly we needed that position to step up. We 107 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 1: were down, you know, one extra defensive lineman in this game, 108 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 1: and so it was especially important this game for those 109 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 1: guys to really nail that. 110 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 3: Is there something you said to that group specifically, because again, 111 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 3: like I was watching and you know, kin Law's using 112 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 3: his hands more and more violent, shutting out of gas 113 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 3: it felt like. And then Golden with a couple tackles 114 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 3: for losses. It just seemed like the whole group really 115 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 3: came to the forefront with all the physicality and all 116 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 3: the energy, Like was it something specific or was it 117 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:32,720 Speaker 3: just kind of like, hey, generally we need to be 118 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 3: more locked in. 119 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 1: I think we wanted to make sure these were what 120 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,719 Speaker 1: we want to emphasize going into this game. These things 121 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 1: have to happen, These things have to get done. So 122 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 1: it wasn't a long list, you know things, but these 123 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 1: were the things that would have to do to play well. 124 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:48,360 Speaker 1: And so as you're going through the game and you're 125 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,039 Speaker 1: watching it, you want to say, Okay, that we did. 126 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 1: That we did and so creating takeaways that's a big 127 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 1: part of it, you know, and so we have to 128 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 1: make sure we can get that done. But there are 129 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 1: a lot of things that I saw, how hard they played, 130 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 1: how hard they battled that I and I know that 131 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 1: we can work with that. 132 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 2: And coach was wild just being on that stage. Yes, Madrid, 133 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 2: the first NFL guest in Madrid. Then we got to 134 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,719 Speaker 2: see ow Boy Deebo Samuel Senior get the first touchdown 135 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 2: ever in the history of Spain. Yes, nobody could take 136 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 2: that away from Nobody could take that away from you, 137 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,920 Speaker 2: coach Man. How amazing was that that moment right there? 138 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 2: And to hear that crowd erupt the way. Yeah, it was. 139 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 1: I felt this energy inside the building just almost by 140 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 1: the time I arrived, you know, kind of getting out 141 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 1: in pregame to get a little workout, Like there was 142 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 1: just this energy and the crowd was actually there pretty 143 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,159 Speaker 1: early as far as the game goes, So like I 144 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 1: was pumped about that. Our hotel was only you know, 145 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 1: a block or two away, so you could feel the 146 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 1: energy around it and it was really cool. Man. So 147 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,600 Speaker 1: they picked the right city and like there'll be a 148 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,279 Speaker 1: lot of games I would think in Madrid, just based 149 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 1: off the enthusiasm, the energy that the fans brought. 150 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 3: It was such a unique sports culture too, Like I 151 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:53,600 Speaker 3: always think of it, like we did a couple events 152 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 3: and just the fandom was incredible, and like the way 153 00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:58,719 Speaker 3: they got down for the game was like it was 154 00:05:58,760 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 3: really cool to see. 155 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,600 Speaker 1: And uh, like the city had just a nice vibe 156 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,839 Speaker 1: to about things, and so you can tell like this 157 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 1: is a you know country that loves sports. Man, they 158 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,840 Speaker 1: just do. And that was easy to see how they 159 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:13,839 Speaker 1: got behind the teams and so there are a lot 160 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 1: of Commanders fans. We might have been the visitor, but 161 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 1: I don't know if we were the visitor, you know, 162 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 1: and so that was really cool for US as an 163 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,159 Speaker 1: organization to feel how much Burgundy and Gold was there 164 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 1: because it did not feel. 165 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,359 Speaker 2: Like a road game for US. Coach Logan learned how 166 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 2: to dance flamenco. He looks pretty graceful. 167 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:37,159 Speaker 1: Hopefully I never see that, but that's a perfect example 168 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 1: of like, yeah, like doing some things that you know 169 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,159 Speaker 1: you would never normally do, and you know, just enjoyed 170 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 1: meeting the people there. You know, got to you know practice, 171 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 1: you know, a different spot and so just seeing different 172 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 1: environments and different things on you know, different days of 173 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 1: the week. You know, It's just it was just really cool, man. 174 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:56,920 Speaker 2: And it was crazy to see the young players, right 175 00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:58,920 Speaker 2: because I talked to Chris Rodriguez and I believe he 176 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 2: said this was his first time of the country ever, 177 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,279 Speaker 2: maybe the second time out of the country. Then he 178 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,039 Speaker 2: goes out and has a career game on that stage. 179 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:07,719 Speaker 2: A guy like Chris ROGERI because I feel like he 180 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 2: really represents what Commanders football is. You talk about him 181 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 2: a little bit and how you know, no matter when 182 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 2: you call his number, he's gonna be ready. 183 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, he is definitely, you know, for sure ready to 184 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 1: get down. I know a coach that was first time 185 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 1: in Europe at the game. Oh yeah, we're talking to him. 186 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 1: It was unusual and good. But speaking of Chris, like 187 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 1: he does in embody like a warrior spirit. That's what 188 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 1: a commander is to me, is a guy who's warrior like, 189 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 1: absolutely ready to get down on a moment's notice. And 190 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 1: he is always up for that challenge. And yeah, tons 191 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 1: of respect for him and his game. And see the 192 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 1: run game and getting him going in that space, it 193 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 1: was very cool. 194 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 3: And it's like it's interesting because like the not only 195 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 3: the running backs, but the tight ends. Ye, Brandon Coleman 196 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 3: is that big kind of blocking Why did some really 197 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 3: good stuff. It's it feels like it's kind of a 198 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 3: collective there kind of supporting him. He gets, he gets 199 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 3: the carries, he gets the touches. But it's cool to 200 00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 3: see all those other positions kind of supporting him a little. 201 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, And so to see the run game continue to 202 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 1: gain some traction again, that's an important part of what 203 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 1: we're doing. And so I liked seeing that. And Chris 204 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 1: was actually has been a captain recently, you know, just 205 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 1: for that purpose of like what he's demonstrating, you know, 206 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 1: on and off the field and. 207 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 2: Coach, this is a late by week, however, it's still 208 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 2: a bye week all the same. We know we want 209 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 2: to get the most of it. What has been your 210 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 2: points of emphesis for the guys for the locker room 211 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:22,960 Speaker 2: to make the most of this bow week. 212 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, first thing is I wanted to make sure, like 213 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 1: our times together are really intense meetings practice the games, 214 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 1: and so I did want them to clear that, you know, 215 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 1: just for a moment. So when we do come back, like, 216 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,079 Speaker 1: we're absolutely going after it, you know, in the very 217 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 1: best ways. We have a blast doing it, but like, man, 218 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 1: we're going to put it in and better we practice. 219 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:44,559 Speaker 1: The more intense that is, that's going to carry over 220 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:48,199 Speaker 1: into the games, and we're really looking to see, you know, 221 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,080 Speaker 1: how much disruption and havoc we can cause in those 222 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:51,640 Speaker 1: six games. 223 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 2: The coach has been fun to see you so far 224 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,800 Speaker 2: this season.

Before we hear more from our 229 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,559 Speaker 2: head coach, dan Quinn. If you are listening on audio platforms, 230 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 2: make sure you go to command As YouTube page right 231 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:13,880 Speaker 2: now so you can check out the film room between 232 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:17,360 Speaker 2: Logan Paulson and head coach Dan Quinn. Now for more 233 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 2: from head coach Dan Quinn, Coach, we appreciate. 234 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 3: You so much. 235 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:24,840 Speaker 2: During this by we we talked about wanting to look 236 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:26,600 Speaker 2: at those points of emphasis that you want to talk 237 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 2: to the team about and attack. Can you elaborate on 238 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 2: some of those points of emphasis that you're looking at? 239 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 1: Sure? I think when we start on the defensive side 240 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 1: and you know, like kind of give you three on defense, 241 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 1: through and offense. So first thing, the ability to create 242 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,439 Speaker 1: some takeaways. You know, that's such an important part of 243 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 1: what we want to do and how we want to play. 244 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,200 Speaker 1: So continuing to like make that part of our thing. 245 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,200 Speaker 1: I want the perimeter of the defense on the run game, 246 00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 1: you know, I really want to attack that to shore 247 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,080 Speaker 1: that up our EDG setting the outside run game so 248 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 1: we can really dig deep into onto that. And then 249 00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,960 Speaker 1: the last piece for us, you know, can we find 250 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,080 Speaker 1: different ways to affect the quarterback with pressure, some with disguise, 251 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 1: some with zone pressure, Like finding different ways to really 252 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,439 Speaker 1: make the quarterback feel us and it won't be in 253 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,360 Speaker 1: all one way just with a four man rush. So 254 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:13,320 Speaker 1: finding the different ways that we can go do that 255 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 1: we do those things better, you know, I think those 256 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:21,439 Speaker 1: would lay a big, you know, mark of improvement on defensively. Offensively, 257 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,199 Speaker 1: I like where we're headed in terms of our running 258 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,199 Speaker 1: the ball and our play action passing, So more cow bell, 259 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 1: more downhill on the run gave so let's lean in 260 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:33,319 Speaker 1: harder onto that spot because we've got different packages, extra 261 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,680 Speaker 1: tight end, you know, different personnel groups. But I felt 262 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 1: like we're gaining traction on that logan. So I want 263 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,640 Speaker 1: to see that ramp up third downs. I want to 264 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 1: make sure we spend the extra time onto that and 265 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 1: then continue, you know, can we get the red zone 266 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 1: efficiency like we want it? But those would be three 267 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,319 Speaker 1: things They're running, the play action that goes with that, 268 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,959 Speaker 1: some specific third down markers, and then extra time down 269 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,199 Speaker 1: the red zone. So those would be at the top 270 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:57,480 Speaker 1: of the pile for us heading into it. 271 00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 3: And then with a third down one specifically, that one's 272 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 3: tough because lot of raps you some continuity. How do 273 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 3: you kind of manage that with all the adversity you 274 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:06,200 Speaker 3: guys have faced on the perimeters. 275 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,720 Speaker 1: Specifically, the continuity may not be there from the players, 276 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:10,600 Speaker 1: but the concepts can sure. And if we can get 277 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,600 Speaker 1: the concepts over and over, then maybe you can plug 278 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:15,720 Speaker 1: and play a little bit when we're adding players back 279 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 1: into it. But let's get these concepts down come hell 280 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 1: or high water, and this down and distance and timing 281 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:26,200 Speaker 1: of line tight ends, receivers, quarterback, and then plug and 282 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,080 Speaker 1: play as we add people into that too. Love it, coach. 283 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:30,959 Speaker 2: We appreciate you taking the time, even during your bide, 284 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:32,719 Speaker 2: to pull up on this command his family. This has 285 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 2: been the game plan we had coached dan Quinn. Logan, Paulson, 286 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 2: I'm your host, Brian Coleviell Jr. We'll catch all next week. 287 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 2: The Game Plan with Dan Quinn, presented by Salisburg University, 288 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,200 Speaker 2: was filmed at the Big Bear AI Command Center studio
