11
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,800

Speaker 2: can you So, I thought how much his run game

162
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 2: is really growing over the last month and the college

163
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:45,200

00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 11: With him, you and the GIAM.

165
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,200

166
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 2: doing a heck of a job going out there and

167
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 2: battling for us. And uh, you know, as a group,

168
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 2: I feel like a running back group has you know

169
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 2: been great. We all been able to you know, rally

170

Speaker 2: and do do our thing out there.

171
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 9: And the that's what we gotta do.

172
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 2: We gotta continue to be you know great and come

173
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,200

00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 2: Uh it's hard to be type. I guess we just

179
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 2: u we might just be playing harder. I don't know,

180
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 2: but uh, I mean I don't know really what change

181
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 2: after the buie, But for me, it's just you know,

182
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 2: I'm getting back, so I I'm feeling good now and

183
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 2: uh I'm excited about that. To get back into football shape. Man, Yeah,

184
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 2: for sure. You know each week, like I said, it's

185
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 2: gonna keep getting better and better. I gotta you know,

186
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 2: keep going hard and uh, you know, just get used

187
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 2: to getting no hit again and stuff you can't train

188
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 2: to get tackled.

189
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 8: As far as Nigga's concerned, how happy first of all

190
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 8: is he that you're back here and then also that

191
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 8: you were able to sort of the game winning touchdown you.

192
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 2: Oh, he's very happy. You know, Nickcas my boy. He's

193
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 2: probably the first person I text it after the game.

194
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 2: So it's just you know, we have that relationship that

195
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 2: we stay in touch and you know, he give me advice.

196
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 2: Anything he see or something, we we'll talk about it.

197
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 12: So did take longer to get back into football shape

198
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 12: as you then you thought maybe it would when you

199
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 12: after that first game.

200
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 2: I mean yeah, it just more you know, taking the hits.

201
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 2: It's more of like it ain't about wind shape. It's

202
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 2: where you know, getting bruised up and stuff like that

203
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 2: from getting tackled Like like I said, I wish I

204
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 2: coulda been getting tackled when I wouldn't on the team

205
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 2: and stuff like that. But I'd had to call my

206
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 2: cousins and brothers or something like that.

207
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 3: When when you talk.

208
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 2: About something like that.

209
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 8: Might get mean that and I don't know you can

210
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 8: answer this or not.

211
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 2: But like when DeShawn gets back, it's.

212
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 1: You gonna have to figure out how to take any

213
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 1: hit and take a blow again.

214
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 6: Do you have to even after a month off?

215
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 2: Just man, Yeah, you gotta get back and you know

216
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 2: into that getting tackled with it. But that's a quarter back.

217
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 2: We can't let nobody touch him. So you shouldn't be

218
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 2: getting really hit too much. But you know it happened sometimes.

219
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,959
Speaker 6: Three when when Nick was playing, there would be puriers

220
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 6: there games like if the passing game it's not working,

221
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 6: Nick would settle everything.

222
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 7: Down for the big series.

223
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 6: Let's see coach if you call them mother, settle our offense.

224
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 2: Down, run the ball. Can you guys still do that

225
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 2: without here? Do you think?

226
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 6: And did you do that in in Seattle?

227
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:24,080
Speaker 3: Do you think?

228
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 2: Uh? I mean yeah, we could still do that. We

229
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 2: just gotta you know, lean on the run. Game. And

230
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 2: you know, I I know our offensive line likes to

231
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 2: run the ball too, So yeah, you just gotta keep.

232
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 6: Do the coach would did that after turn ups.

233
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean sometimes you do. You gotta slow it

234
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 2: down and you uh we be patient. Let the game

235
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,200

276
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 8: Or is that just kind of who you are and

277
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:26,760

279
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 2: I'm like I said, I just want to help the

280
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,560
Speaker 2: team win. That's that's it. There's nothing else that ain't nothing,

281
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 2: no shots at nobody. It's just you know, I know

282
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 2: what type of player I am, and you know when

283
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:42,679
Speaker 2: is the only thing I want to do.

284
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,439
Speaker 1: Wrapping up the day in the locker room was defensive

285
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 1: captain Anthony Walker Junior, the linebacker. He spoke about bouncing

286
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 1: back after a tough loss last week and what he's

287
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 1: seen so far in the Cardinals offense.

288
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 2: The Bach quarterback.

289
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 4: From her or you expecting that whoever steps on the

290
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 4: fiel the first play. Uh, we gotta be ready for

291
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 4: both unique opportunity obviously with Kyler coming back from injury,

292
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 4: and then uh, the rookie quarterback. Uh, we just gotta

293
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 4: be ready to play against what episodes out in the field.

294
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,959
Speaker 6: Good check that neither has played or down this year

295
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 6: complicated Uh.

296
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 2: Preparation, Uh, not at all.

297
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 4: I mean, obviously you go back and look at Kyler Murray,

298
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 4: what he's done over his career, you know, and the elite.

299
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 9: Quarterback for a reason. And then the rookie quarterback.

300
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 4: You got a little bit of pre season on him

301
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 4: and then a little bit of college tape. See what

302
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 4: he can do, he can make every throw and all

303
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 4: that stuff had some good backs obviously, that run game

304
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 4: is really powerful.

305
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 9: We gotta be ready for that.

306
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 4: Obviously, we haven't done well stop in the Runner last

307
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 4: two weeks, so that's gonna be a big challenge for us.

308
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 4: But we gotta get that done first and then we

309
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:40,560
Speaker 4: wear about everything else.

310
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,080
Speaker 2: So if any Drew came from here at.

311
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 4: Knowing what to say, uh, I again, we just gotta

312
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 4: go out and execute, do what we do. You know,

313
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 4: obviously Drew being here obviously uh he knows our players.

314
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 9: He knows, you know, what we do.

315
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 4: And then obviously we know him and he knows you know,

316
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 4: we know this scheme that he runs.

317
00:12:58,360 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 3: So uh.

318
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 4: Being fun match up, we have to because of the

319
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 4: fact that these guys head of away this year.

320
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 12: Is this really a week we're dialing up the fresher

321
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:08,559
Speaker 12: could be very important.

322
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 2: For you guys.

323
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 9: We got to execute the call whatever we call.

324
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 4: I think one thing we do well as we rush

325
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 4: the pass over well with four or five, six, seven

326
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 4: or whoever numbers called at that point, you know, we

327
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:19,960
Speaker 4: got two great air dress three, four or five great

328
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 4: air dressers in there and get a lot of penetration

329
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 4: this side with the interior.

330
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 9: So whatever we do, we just got to execute and

331
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 9: build a high level. What do you guys have to do,

332
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:29,679
Speaker 9: uh to sure on that run of deep facts?

333
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, fundamental technique, standard gaps come downhill as linebackers, Uh,

334
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 4: set the edge whoever that is, and then you know,

335
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 4: gotta get off blocks and make tackles. All fundamentals and details.

336
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 8: After you guys read the tea from Sunday's game the conference,

337
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 8: love that you guys have had all in and how

338
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 8: do you like just that last play? How do you

339
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:49,959
Speaker 8: continue to have that confidence.

340
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 2: Into this week?

341
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 9: Yeah, we know this defen is made up. We know

342
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 9: we can do.

343
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 4: The belief and trusting the players in the system and

344
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 4: the coaches and everything like that is at at at

345
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 4: a high time level as has always been. You know,

346
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 4: you know you can, like I said, you play in

347
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:04,719
Speaker 4: the NFL and you make you're gonna give a go

348
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 4: against good players. You wanna go against good teams that

349
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 4: make a play. They made one more play than that

350
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 4: than we did last week.

351
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 6: For seven series, you guys, there's just nothing. Yeah, and

352
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 6: then there's that turn of office. Everything else right though

353
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 6: the environment you know a lot of got how how.

354
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 2: Was he able to just turn it off?

355
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 9: Yeah? We didn't execute. We didn't execute the coverage.

356
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 4: We didn't uh tackle the ball, carried down, give up

357
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 4: a you know, a huge chunk play in two minute,

358
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 4: you know, you can't really do And then we just

359
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 4: gotta execute, get off the field. How whatever that is,

360
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 4: whatever that looks like, however, we get it done.

361
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 3: We gotta do it.

362
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 9: You know, we can point to a lot of different players.

363
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 4: We could point how the game started fourteenth straight well,

364
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 4: seventeen straight points, you know, touchdown, touchdown, field goal. And

365
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 4: then you know you play good ball, but you know

366
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 4: you you spot a team seventeen points.

367
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 9: You can't do that in the NFL. A team's plowing

368
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 9: your way to take it bad of your right shore.

369
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 2: As a tune.

370
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 4: Uh nah, I think we're uh, you know, we're gonna

371
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 4: we're never gonna stop being aggressive. You know, we just

372
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 4: gotta be aggressive the right way, standing in our gaps,

373
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 4: you know, getting downhill as linebackers.

374
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 3: Uh, you know.

375
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 4: And then I think in the past game, I think again,

376
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 4: our we got the c best corners in the world.

377
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 4: You know, we love that match up with with a

378
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 4: with all those guys. Like I said, you just gotta

379
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 4: find a way to finish down As.

380
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 3: A captain, of this defense.

381
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 7: How do you get this defense back to playing how

382
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 7: it did in the first couple of weeks.

383
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, just getting back to the standard where we talked about,

384
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 4: and then again just the heightened awareness of fundamentals and technique.

385
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 3: I asked you a couple of.

386
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 2: Weeks ago about RPO.

387
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 6: You didn't have to worry about that seat Gino.

388
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 2: Maybe now you do.

389
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 7: So is there add that emphasis.

390
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 3: U RPA RPO game?

391
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's always an emphasis.

392
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 4: The NFL has shifted to that a little bit no

393
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 4: matter who you play against. So you always wanna have

394
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 4: that on your radar. We practice that every week and

395
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 4: that's never gonna change.

396
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 10: Without giving anything away schematically.

397
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 9: Or you know, you know I wouldn't do that.

398
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 11: I ask is under the guys, that's just is it now?

399
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 12: As you say this is becoming more common waste in

400
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 12: the NFL? So, is there a little bit of a

401
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 12: defensive playbook now on how to approach dealing with our

402
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 12: pos in comparison to when it start just started to

403
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 12: become more problem in the league and defenses from kind

404
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 12: of scrambling to try and figure out how to.

405
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 7: Slow it out.

406
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 2: Yeah.

407
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 4: I think as the game is ever evolving, I think

408
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 4: the defensive coordinators are involve evolving as the offensive coordinators

409
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 4: are evolving as well. So Sours does a good job

410
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 4: at a lot of things. But I also think UH

411
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 4: evolving is one of the you know things that he

412
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 4: does really really well. And you know, understanding how to

413
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 4: stop certain players in certain uh like you said, a

414
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 4: package of RPOs the way we play them, I think

415
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 4: is UH kind of the best in the NFL. But

416
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 4: you know, again, if it's not, it's not. If it's

417
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 4: not executed the right way, it doesn't look that way.

418
00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 5: Being recently, just coming off a loss like that really

419
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 5: testing your resiliens.

420
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 4: Not really and l we lost, you know, and I think, UH,

421
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 4: nobody in the NFL wants to lose, you know, being

422
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 4: at this at this level, and understanding that the team

423
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:16,360
Speaker 4: that we have, the opportunity that we have the resilience come.

424
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 9: You know, we lost, you know, so we gotta respond.

425
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 4: You know, we got a huge challenge ahead of us,

426
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 4: UH in Arizona, you know, and you get ach get

427
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 4: a chance to play UH NFL football on Sundays. You

428
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 4: never wanna take that for granted. So that's the resilient

429
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:28,919
Speaker 4: part of it.

430
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 6: When an offense has success.

431
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:32,400
Speaker 7: More it's on tape.

432
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 3: Defenses catch up to the hyps.

433
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 2: You think the same is happening for defense and more

434
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:37,920
Speaker 2: of you guys are out there.

435
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 6: Offenses that are lucky tryna find ways.

436
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:41,640
Speaker 7: To beat you.

437
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 9: Yes, to answer your question, you know, yes we're on

438
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 9: the field. Yes they see us. Thanks again, it goes

439
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 9: back to us.

440
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,679
Speaker 4: We don't worry about what you know, what you know

441
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 4: teams figuring out what we do. If we don't do

442
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 4: it at the high level, we don't do it with

443
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 4: the same intensity, with the same tail and focus.

444
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 9: It's gonna it's not gonna look the same, right.

445
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 4: You know, we've seen clips where you know, we run

446
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 4: the same call, run, the team run the same play,

447
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:09,119
Speaker 4: and we punch them in their mouth, and then the

448
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 4: team run the same We run the same call, the

449
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:12,200
Speaker 4: team run the same play, and we give them before

450
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,399
Speaker 4: they our run. Right, So goes back to us. The

451
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 4: focus is on us this week, and uh we understand that.

452
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:19,920
Speaker 10: What is you know, coming into the season, not much

453
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 10: was expected of Arizona, but when you watch them on tape,

454
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,399
Speaker 10: they they play a lot better than people thought that

455
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:28,399
Speaker 10: they were going to be. So when you look at

456
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:30,679
Speaker 10: that offense, busy second quarterback.

457
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 8: It's like, cause you know who that is, But what

458
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 8: do you see offensively from them that it's made them

459
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 8: so uh challenging.

460
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 4: Well, this is the NFL again, you know, a team

461
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 4: record doesn't paint the whole picture. If you look at

462
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:47,440
Speaker 4: six games, they've had the lead in each game right

463
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 4: uh deep into the game, or it's a one score

464
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 4: game where they have a chance to take the lead,

465
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:52,680
Speaker 4: or you know tight the game.

466
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:52,920
Speaker 2: Right.

467
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 4: So we can't take that mindset that you know, they

468
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 4: were supposed to be bad or they're one to seven

469
00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 4: football team.

470
00:18:58,080 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 9: They're a good football team right there in the NFL.

471
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:00,639
Speaker 9: They have AFL players.

472
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 4: Their offense obviously, like I said, you said about the

473
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 4: quarterback situation very unique. But one thing they do do

474
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:08,360
Speaker 4: very well is run the ball really well. Right they

475
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 4: uh James connor Bey in the great back he is

476
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 4: you know, obviously out with injury, but the other backs

477
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 4: run really hard as well. Again, right now, I'm pretty

478
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 4: sure they're looking at us. Take the last two weeks,

479
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 4: we haven't stopped around with the sh so we need

480
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 4: to do We need to change that right now, and

481
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 4: we got a big task out of us.

482
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,880
Speaker 6: You talked about going back and seeing u Kyler Murray's

483
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:28,159
Speaker 6: previous games.

484
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 2: But he is in a different system that it's that matter.

485
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:34,440
Speaker 6: How's it projecting its?

486
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 4: Uh? I think Drew put uh you know, the best

487
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 4: foot forward if he if he does play, he'll make

488
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 4: sure he's in advantageous positions. You know, Drew did a

489
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 4: good job of that when he was here last year

490
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 4: and the year before that.

491
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 9: So you know, I truly believe that they'll put him

492
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 9: in the right position.

493
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:50,719
Speaker 3: Right.

494
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:52,439
Speaker 4: He could say different scheme and all that stuff, but

495
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 4: he's gonna be in a position where he's gonna.

496
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,640
Speaker 9: Be successful, no doubt.

497
00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 5: When when you look at him, obviously his sides, he's

498
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:02,200
Speaker 5: still able find ways to get the ball out that

499
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 5: How was.

500
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 2: He able to do that?

501
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 9: That's a question for him, right. I think he has

502
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,879
Speaker 9: a baseball background. I'm so very doing throwing at.

503
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 4: Different arm angles and you know, different speed, different paces.

504
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 9: He has obviously has.

505
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 4: Control of the ball really well, you know, being able

506
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 4: to use his legs. Again, it's a gift from God

507
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 4: and his parents, I guess. And yeah, he just he's

508
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 4: able to make every throw, He's able to make plays.

509
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:28,639
Speaker 4: He's a playmaker back there, quarterback. If he plays, we

510
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:30,200
Speaker 4: have a you know, we got to do. We gotta

511
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 4: be fundamentally signed to what we do. Keep our eyes

512
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 4: on him, you know, which is in case he runs,

513
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 4: and obviously challenge receivers on.

514
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:37,400
Speaker 3: All the throws.

515
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 1: When the players were done, head coach Kevin Stefanski was next.

516
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 1: He spoke with the media to preview the Arizona Cardinals

517
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:45,880
Speaker 1: and to give us a few injury updates heading into

518
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 1: this week.

519
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 7: Okay, excited for this one. Get to back in front

520
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 7: of our fans. Should be a great day down there Sunday. Again.

521
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:55,680
Speaker 7: We feel that energy from our crowd every time we're

522
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:57,440
Speaker 7: down there. So looking forward to getting down in the lake.

523
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 7: Excited about the challenge of facing the Cardinals. We know

524
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:05,120
Speaker 7: this team well from a coaching perspective. Schematically, I think

525
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 7: they do an outstanding job. They have good players really

526
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 7: at every level. So we have to have a great

527
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:13,640
Speaker 7: week of practice. But you know, you watch their defense,

528
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 7: it's it's a challenge and coach Gannon and coach Ryllis

529
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,359
Speaker 7: do a really nice job with that group. You have

530
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,719
Speaker 7: to be prepared for anything and everything from a stunt,

531
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 7: excuse me, from a front standpoint, from a coverage standpoint,

532
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 7: they have good players at every level. Twenty five is

533
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 7: playing at a really high level for them. Buddha Baker's

534
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,359
Speaker 7: playing at a high level. He's a ballhawk, so have

535
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 7: to know where he is at all times. Offensively, you know,

536
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 7: I think Drew's doing a really nice job with that offense.

537
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 7: It's a version of what we've run, but they put

538
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:45,400
Speaker 7: their own spin on it. I think it's a very

539
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 7: very very physical offensive line yelled to you know, at

540
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:51,920
Speaker 7: the heart of that thing as well. So really really

541
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 7: physical group. And they have skill players. I mean they

542
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:58,640
Speaker 7: have speed, they have quickness, they have size, So really

543
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 7: have to be about our business. And then Rogers and

544
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 7: the special teams. I think he does an outstanding job. Uh.

545
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:05,639
Speaker 7: They they've always had good teams out there and and

546
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 7: they continue to do so. So looking forward to to

547
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 7: that challenge, UH with today, we have a bunch of

548
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 7: guys that we're we're resting and or working through injuries,

549
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 7: so we uh adjusted practice a little bit. So we'll

550
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 7: be out there for a a good individual uh, a

551
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 7: good seven on seven full speed, and then we'll slow

552
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,919
Speaker 7: it down to a jog through UH in our team periods,

553
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,880
Speaker 7: just to take a little bit off some of their legs. Uh.

554
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:30,719
Speaker 7: Deshaun will practice on a limited basis uh, and then

555
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 7: we'll update you guys throughout the week.

556
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 4: Uh.

557
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 7: But with that, I'll take any questions. It'll be limited,

558
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 7: so we'll see.

559
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:42,879
Speaker 3: So are you hoping that he plays?

560
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 7: Yeah, as you can imagine, I'm I always just kind

561
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 7: of keep it day today and and we'll focus on today.

562
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 7: He'll be out there, uh and we'll see how he does. Correct.

563
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:55,920
Speaker 7: I'm not making any game day decisions today.

564
00:22:57,680 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 2: More we'll blood practice at point.

565
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 7: PJ remains a backup, yes, Kevin.

566
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:11,159
Speaker 11: Then when you have a young quarterback like PJ uh

567
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:14,360
Speaker 11: Amark Cooper, does he have sort of like an influence

568
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:14,920
Speaker 11: over you?

569
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 3: I mean, h I'm.

570
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 11: Asking you because there was a play near the goal line.

571
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 11: You were breaking the huddle and uh A Mary said

572
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 11: someone with PJ. And then the PJ throws the ball

573
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 11: to him and he had a lot of golf. So

574
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 11: does he have kind of like that influence of come over.

575
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 13: In young life?

576
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 9: Well?

577
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,119
Speaker 7: Yeah, I would tell you Mari has seen a lot

578
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 7: of football in in his career and he's got a

579
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 7: great insight uh with the quarterbacks. So those conversations happen

580
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:45,360
Speaker 7: in every game on the sideline, those happen, Those conversations

581
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:47,360
Speaker 7: happen with me. Mary comes up to me every game

582
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:49,639
Speaker 7: and tells him what he's seeing, and and uh, you

583
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 7: know I listened because he he's got a great view

584
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 7: of it.

585
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 3: A difference between Plat and Tyler.

586
00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 2: How chanleng music.

587
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 7: Imagine for Yeah, we we don't expect to know until

588
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 7: ninety minutes before or if they decide to name somebody.

589
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,680
Speaker 7: So you prepare for everybody. You prepare for Jeff Triscoll,

590
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 7: who's on their roster now as a practice squad player. So,

591
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 7: uh we go do our homework on all of them.

592
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 7: There's tape on all of 'em. I obviously understand.

593
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 4: Uh.

594
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 7: Kyler Murray is a great, great football player. I've seen

595
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 7: him firsthand. Uh he he's great.

596
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:21,120
Speaker 13: Uh.

597
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:23,199
Speaker 7: Tune is a a kid that we did a lot

598
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 7: of work on Uh coming out. Uh can make every throw, athletic, Uh,

599
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,679
Speaker 7: good decision maker. Uh, So we have to be prepared

600
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 7: for all of them. Uh I haven't checked my phone,

601
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 7: not yet.

602
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:40,879
Speaker 8: Elson ls you see start.

603
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 2: Correct it's those none of those three big correct?

604
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,199
Speaker 7: But that sh well, I think. But there's tape on

605
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:51,919
Speaker 7: all of them, uh through into the preseason. Tony and

606
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:56,160
Speaker 7: I I think you know, every week, every team in

607
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 7: some form of fashion is dealing with injuries. You know,

608
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 7: we're no different than that. So so, uh, the other

609
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 7: team does their homework. They they pull up tape from

610
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 7: previous games, if if you will, and and try to

611
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:10,120
Speaker 7: understand what their strengths are. So that's what we're doing.

612
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 7: What's this Darius is the injury? And and where what's

613
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 7: his status as a player. Yeah, he's uh, you know,

614
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 7: working through uh a neck injury. But I'd say he's, uh,

615
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:22,040
Speaker 7: you know, we'll just rest him. But I feel good

616
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:23,360
Speaker 7: about Zadarius.

617
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:27,199
Speaker 8: Those you know, and.

618
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:31,640
Speaker 2: That you do the rest.

619
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:35,120

620
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 7: I I like our roster. I like the guys we have.

621
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:41,199
Speaker 13: Is considered till me have a an opportunity.

622
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:42,920
Speaker 7: To do more of what you see he does. Yeah,

623
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 7: and you know, obviously you guys saw the trade with Donovan,

624
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 7: you know, a guy that we all love, having seen

625
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:51,119
Speaker 7: him grow up in this building. Uh G had some

626
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:54,400
Speaker 7: really really great moments for us, So wishing him the best,

627
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 7: but it does open up, uh you know, an avenue

628
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:59,120
Speaker 7: towards playing time for said, and for some other guys

629
00:25:59,119 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 7: as well.

630
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 2: It's as this year, did you targets?

631
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 7: I I I wouldn't read much into that small sample size.

632
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 7: Obviously had a couple of things going on throughout those games. Uh,

633
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 7: but I wouldn't read much into it. I think we'll see.

634
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 9: Uh.

635
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 7: Those are all conversations that you you have each week. Uh,

636
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:28,360
Speaker 7: Austin does a nice job for us, Uh throughout the week.

637
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:30,200
Speaker 3: You guys, that's good.

638
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 2: Wanna get something more and home?

639
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:37,120
Speaker 7: Well, I think you yes, of course, you know if

640
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:40,640
Speaker 7: you do that, that does open a a uh pathway

641
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 7: to getting said more involved.

642
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 3: Kid.

643
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:47,160
Speaker 2: You know, is he just say?

644
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:53,440
Speaker 7: I don't know if anybody knows that uh yet until

645
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 7: he takes a snap. I I know he's supremely talented,

646
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:59,120
Speaker 7: can make every throw, great movement skills. I mean he

647
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:05,120
Speaker 7: he's a great football play don't know. Yeah, good question. Yeah,

648
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:07,880
Speaker 7: but it's that's football. I Mean, you go into week

649
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 7: one sometimes with a quarterback who's in a new system.

650
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:13,239
Speaker 7: You just you know, you do your homework based on

651
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:16,119
Speaker 7: what the system is, but uh, you have to be

652
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 7: prepared to defend it all in some ways. Yeah, I

653
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 7: mean it. They'll have a quarterback under center that hasn't

654
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 7: been under center.

655
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 3: For them just yet.

656
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:27,919
Speaker 7: What do you see that said credit or in the

657
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 7: shotgun in practice?

658
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:32,120
Speaker 5: And I guess it's somebody who's it makes you think

659
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 5: he's ready for.

660
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 7: A Yeah, you know, I've seen in games. I've seen

661
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:41,199
Speaker 7: in practice, uh preseason games. It is uh reason we

662
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 7: like the kid when he's coming out. I mean, he's big,

663
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:47,679
Speaker 7: physical ball skills. Uh so he he's he's been working

664
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:50,640
Speaker 7: very very hard. Uh have not to date been able

665
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 7: to get him going. And and a lot of that

666
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 7: becomes roster, you know, based on who's available, and you

667
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:57,880
Speaker 7: can only bring so many to the game. But uh,

668
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:01,919
Speaker 7: he's remained very diligent, works hard at Yeah.

669
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 11: What has been uh the reason for such success running the.

670
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 3: Ball since supply.

671
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:11,119
Speaker 7: Always a combination of things. But I'd give credit to

672
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 7: the players first of all. Uh, you know, I think

673
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:17,640
Speaker 7: the the schemes, the technique, uh those type of things

674
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 7: that they're executing. The plan. I think the coaches put

675
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:22,360
Speaker 7: together a really good plan. And uh, you know, I

676
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:25,359
Speaker 7: really trust ah our guys. I trust the the guys

677
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 7: that are blocking, be it the offensive line, tight ends, wide, receivers,

678
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 7: you name it. I think we have uh some diversity

679
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:33,879
Speaker 7: of skill sets with our runners.

680
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:36,399
Speaker 6: How that conversations.

681
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm not gonna add much to my conversations with

682
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 7: our guys. Careems are pro he's he's doing a good job.

683
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 6: For us, always off.

684
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 7: In a series, especially.

685
00:28:55,600 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 3: So you have the companies to do that. Yeah.

686
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, you know, I just saw Nick uh

687
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 7: obviously next a special player. Uh and when we talked

688
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:09,239
Speaker 7: about it way back when you don't replace him. But

689
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 7: I have a ton of confidence with h our guys

690
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 7: and and I mean all all three of 'em, with

691
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 7: Jerome and with Kareem and with Perr, I have a

692
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 7: lot of confidence in them. Yeah, I mean eliminating interceptions

693
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 7: potentially yes, Uh, but you know we talk a lot

694
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 7: about with those giveaways, just ball security technique. We just

695
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 7: have to be better in our technique.

696
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 3: Did you actually used to realize it?

697
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 2: Why did you?

698
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 9: Na?

699
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 7: I would again, wouldn't read much into that. Just every

700
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:46,239
Speaker 7: week and nah, make decisions you know when I have

701
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 7: to and each.

702
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 3: Day guys, you guys just what goes it?

703
00:29:58,240 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 6: Uh?

704
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:01,520
Speaker 7: You know it's always a match up based thing for us.

705
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 7: You know, you're trying to different defenses, allow for different screens.

706
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 7: If you will. Uh, But then you know, I I

707
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 7: beat the players and the coaches up just or we

708
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 7: beat the players up on uh, the details and the

709
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 7: nuance of that game. And and I say it all

710
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 7: the time, it takes all eleven to get any part

711
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 7: of your offense going. Certainly the screen game, you have

712
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:25,920
Speaker 7: to have all eleven guys, and sometimes it's the receivers

713
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:30,479
Speaker 7: running their routes at full speed. Eat little things like that.

714
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 7: I think landmarks and timing, it's just it's got to

715
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:45,240
Speaker 7: be so precise. But it's really a game to game propositions.

716
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:45,240
Speaker 2: Change the process that you've done.

717
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think every week's different. When you're working through

718
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 7: an injury, every week is different and how you feel

719
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,960
Speaker 7: day to day. So uh, this week's just completely different

720
00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 7: in my perspective.

721
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 3: Any concert goes your long for.

722
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 7: Uh, we'll see. I I think th this week. We'll

723
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 7: we'll see over the next couple of days how they respond.

724
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 13: You know, you really like the school trade at just

725
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 13: of their fans out there, why this time.

726
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 2: And in those cos they're just.

727
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 3: About it?

728
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 7: Yeah, I would tell you, like I mentioned earlier, I

729
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 7: l I like our team, I like our guys, I

730
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 7: like our locker room. Uh th there's there's things that

731
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 7: I know we all can do better and and we will.

732
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 4: Uh.

733
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 7: I you know Andrew in the personnel department, they they

734
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 7: work on those things. It's a three hundred and sixty

735
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 7: five day uh thing that they're working on. So that

736
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:50,959
Speaker 7: doesn't change.

737
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 4: Uh.

738
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 7: But I would tell you I do like our roster,

739
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:02,960
Speaker 7: do you see. Yeah, it's a it's a good point, Ashule. Yeah,

740
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 7: he's been very dependable, like he like he is. Uh

741
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,280
Speaker 7: does the right thing. Uh, catches the ball and it

742
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 7: comes his way. Uh so uh it s has proven

743
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:18,040
Speaker 7: to be a dependable player for us.

744
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 3: He's gotta be.

745
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:25,720
Speaker 7: Yeah, we have other options uh there as well. Uh

746
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 7: F you know with our roster. We'll talk after.

747
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 4: Yeah.

748
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 7: You know that's something we talk about a lot cam

749
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 7: just staying ready and and it happens. I S. You

750
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:54,400
Speaker 7: know every position you you you don't expect maybe a

751
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 7: guy to pl have to play in week one or

752
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 7: week ten, whatever it may be. And and I think

753
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 7: you see guys that stay ready. And it may be

754
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 7: as simple as when you're not in on a particular

755
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 7: play in practice, you're paying attention and you're you're standing

756
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 7: next to your coach and you're you're putting yourself in

757
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 7: the game as we call it, and getting those mental

758
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 7: reps and watching the plays unfold. And sometimes you'll see

759
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 7: some of our players stand behind the group and literally

760
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 7: go through the play while it's taking place, even though

761
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 7: they're not in. So it's part of being a pro

762
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 7: is getting yourself ready because you just don't know when

763
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 7: that number is gonna get caught.

764
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 3: And stories there.

765
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:33,880
Speaker 7: Whereas helped them. Yeah. I think, as you know, with

766
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 7: with the practice squad roster at the size that it is,

767
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:38,719
Speaker 7: I think you're always trying to bring in good football players,

768
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:40,920
Speaker 7: Guys that may help you down the line, guys that

769
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 7: will help you in practice. He's somebody that has uh

770
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 7: played well, uh give in his given moments and opportunities.

771
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 7: So just trying to make sure that we're always looking

772
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 7: for ways to add to the roster. You got indication

773
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 7: or we off with week that post we have really helped. Yeah,

774
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:01,880
Speaker 7: I think it all helps. I think, like we mentioned,

775
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 7: you know, he's making progress, he's working through it, working

776
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 7: very hard both in this building out of this building,

777
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:10,719
Speaker 7: really around the clock. So I think all of the time,

778
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 7: all of the rehab continues to make a difference.

779
