1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:02,239 Speaker 1: There was a good team win. That was a quality 2 00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:05,040 Speaker 1: team we played against, very talented, very well coached. You 3 00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:06,840 Speaker 1: had a lot of credit those guys, you know, they 4 00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:08,600 Speaker 1: played very balanced as a team. Thing. Richie's doing a 5 00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:10,880 Speaker 1: phenomenal job coaching. These guys were doing a really good 6 00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:14,240 Speaker 1: job of keeping these guys within the situations alright, competitive 7 00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:16,040 Speaker 1: acting every game. I thought their planning to come out 8 00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:18,200 Speaker 1: and how that they wouldmove the ball. You know, some 9 00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:19,880 Speaker 1: things we do adjust to as a team with thought. 10 00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:22,159 Speaker 1: Patton and staffed a nice job ad justin to what 11 00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:25,239 Speaker 1: they're doing offensively. I thought Team AC on the kicking 12 00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:26,760 Speaker 1: game was able to make some adjustments about the game, 13 00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:29,080 Speaker 1: give some plays down the stretch though. Jason and staff 14 00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:30,520 Speaker 1: did a good job throughout the game in terms of 15 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:33,159 Speaker 1: using some personnel. It's different adjustments, Elvis get going some 16 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,120 Speaker 1: different things. But I'm proud of the way the team 17 00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:36,519 Speaker 1: responded this week to a lot of things. Is a 18 00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:38,280 Speaker 1: short week. There's a lot of things you come off, 19 00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:40,879 Speaker 1: you know, in terms of Mondy Night football, traveling, you know, 20 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,120 Speaker 1: the deals we had as far as the COVID stuff 21 00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:45,680 Speaker 1: with guys in now the building. UM so very proud 22 00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:47,560 Speaker 1: of the way the team came out and responding prepared 23 00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:49,640 Speaker 1: through whatever we got thrown this week. So it was 24 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:51,879 Speaker 1: a good, well earned team victory. Not being set a 25 00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,840 Speaker 1: open thing question you guys have obviously everyone is a pot. 26 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 1: How much more important is it for the psych of 27 00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 1: this team head into the big tea? You know, look, 28 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 1: I say it all the time. I mean every game 29 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 1: is important, um in terms of the psycheet I think 30 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 1: always bringing that back to just the truth of what's 31 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:08,320 Speaker 1: on tape, and we talk all the time. This is 32 00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:10,440 Speaker 1: a very good team we play today and we know 33 00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 1: that we play our best when play with our capable 34 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:13,680 Speaker 1: of They don't do things that eliminate our opportunities that 35 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:15,200 Speaker 1: have success. We know we're a good team too, we 36 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,319 Speaker 1: just can't do things that are move you know, opportunities 37 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 1: that success. There's very small marginary in this league in 38 00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 1: terms of our psyche. You know, look, our guys come 39 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:25,040 Speaker 1: back to work every week, so when you turn the 40 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,479 Speaker 1: tape on, you can show them the evidence of what 41 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:28,960 Speaker 1: they're doing well and the evidence what we have to 42 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:30,640 Speaker 1: go ahead and correct and what our plan is to 43 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 1: fix it. You know, that to me is really brings 44 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:34,520 Speaker 1: the psyche really in the in the mode it's got 45 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:36,399 Speaker 1: to be in because when someone shows you on tape, 46 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 1: the truth of this is what you are as a team. 47 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 1: Don't worry about anything on the outside, what they're saying. 48 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 1: Don't worry about any opinion, whatever it may be. You 49 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:43,840 Speaker 1: look at the tape, you see what it is, and 50 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 1: let's build it way, do well, let's correct what we 51 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:47,039 Speaker 1: have to do better, and let's keep moving forward as 52 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 1: a team. So I've seen, you know a lot of 53 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 1: things in terms of our players. Uh, they've responded well 54 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 1: to a lot of situations on their way, and they've 55 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 1: done a good job as a team, sticking together and 56 00:01:54,840 --> 00:02:00,280 Speaker 1: improving on a weekly basis. Testing you know, things that 57 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 1: you have to go through with the testing, had to 58 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:03,480 Speaker 1: come through with the two deceptions. And he's talking about 59 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 1: z he pulled his like best Fairrish Beuler of this 60 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 1: week and you have to show up for work and 61 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,640 Speaker 1: went out and had you know, career type game.

I mean, look, not 65 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:16,359 Speaker 1: speaking for a but you can see the frustration level 66 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 1: throughout the week. If he's in a zoom meeting teams 67 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:19,520 Speaker 1: on the field practice and he's not able to be 68 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 1: active and involved. You know, you're kind of one foot 69 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:23,959 Speaker 1: in in terms of am I gonna be able to play? Obviously, 70 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 1: when he got cleared, that was you know, big for 71 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 1: us as a team, and this guy went out there. 72 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 1: He had a good day preparing on Fridays, a lot 73 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:30,359 Speaker 1: of things he had to get in.

You know, 82 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 1: with a number of other guys on the team, there 83 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,240 Speaker 1: are a lot of floating pieces this week, so there 84 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 1: was a large element of when we start talking about 85 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 1: the actors for the game, the in actor, who's gonna 86 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 1: be available, who's gonna be maybe a COVID flex. We 87 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 1: went in this week truly with everyone has to be 88 00:02:57,919 --> 00:02:59,359 Speaker 1: ready and we said that all the time. This week 89 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 1: was one of those deals were normally we're able to 90 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 1: talk through some of the inactives earlier in the week anticipation, 91 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 1: maybe it's through possible injury or game plan how to 92 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 1: play something. This is a week right there had to 93 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 1: look to play coaches in the eye and the staff 94 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 1: meeting early in the week and say, hey, guys, just 95 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 1: have them already. We figured this out in terms who's 96 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 1: gonna available, We'll figure it out. Have them already. And 97 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,639 Speaker 1: I think they was in that crew of obviously staying ready, 98 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 1: doing a good job preparing, and obviously came out today 99 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:23,640 Speaker 1: and he did his job very well, made a lot 100 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 1: of place for us. So you talk about how they responded, 101 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 1: what does what does it tell you about the group 102 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,120 Speaker 1: that you have about the way they responded this week 103 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 1: with all of the stuff they're squirreling on, you know, 104 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 1: I want be honest with a lot of things, just 105 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 1: kind of re reaffirm all things I've known about them along. 106 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 1: We were a very resilient team. We're very mentally tough team. 107 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 1: We had a team and again, to me, the most 108 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 1: compromentary word you can use for any group of people 109 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 1: is team, and they stick together and they work together. 110 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 1: They challenge each other, they come back, they respond, they 111 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 1: come back after tough losses. You can sit there and 112 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 1: you can lick your wounds, or you can look forward 113 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:53,839 Speaker 1: and say, what do we have to be successful this week? 114 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 1: Where ball is going to kick off today at one o'clock, 115 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 1: recross what happened last week, So we couldn't do on 116 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,080 Speaker 1: what happened you know on Monday night, can do on 117 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 1: any previous game success or failure in those games, you know, 118 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 1: the team really just shows up and works hard every day, 119 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 1: work with a good attitude, and they accept the challenges 120 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 1: we throw their way. They embrace the challenges of the 121 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 1: teams are going to give them, and they keep moving forward. Running. 122 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 1: Talk about your running come right back to Jordan's turn 123 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 1: A bunch of running game with Booker gave you and 124 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 1: then also when Eli had to go in there with 125 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,839 Speaker 1: Booker being hurt. Yeah, I think both backs did a 126 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:25,840 Speaker 1: nice job today. You know, I thought book and Eli 127 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 1: both ran strong with good ball screw. This was a 128 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 1: team that we talked all week about. You know, they're 129 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 1: a very effective team of punching the ball away from 130 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:33,040 Speaker 1: me and stripping the ball off and you see a 131 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:34,800 Speaker 1: lot of examples these guys holding up and look for 132 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 1: the strip out of pile. Even on our kickoff returns, 133 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:38,840 Speaker 1: same thing. They were definitely looking for the turnovers. And 134 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:40,480 Speaker 1: that's the way Richie coaches. They do a very good 135 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,040 Speaker 1: job of understanding the fundentals of the game. Really makes 136 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 1: the biggest impact. That's you know, the turnover's penalties, mental aires. 137 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 1: So when you go into this game that that was 138 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:48,600 Speaker 1: gonna be a big part of it. Would make sure 139 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 1: that we had very good ball security. We didn't give 140 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 1: any actra opportunities and we had to make sure that, 141 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,479 Speaker 1: you know, we're able to capitalize on the opportunity they 142 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,719 Speaker 1: gave for us. In terms of running game specifically, the 143 00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:58,799 Speaker 1: offensive line did a very nice job, you know, moving 144 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 1: the ball. You know, it looked got really good defensive front. 145 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,159 Speaker 1: They really do their penetrate in front. They're very disruptive 146 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 1: getting up the field. You have to deal with the 147 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,480 Speaker 1: element of size and speed. They're very long. They played 148 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 1: a good extension. So this team does a very good 149 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 1: job disrupting your running game. We're able to go ahead. 150 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 1: I thought the game plan put together this week, you know, 151 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 1: with the offensive staff. They did a good job of 152 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 1: seeing what we do well and what we can match 153 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 1: up against them in terms of what our teams had success. 154 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:21,919 Speaker 1: I thought they found the right formula with that, and 155 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 1: we also left in a flexibility in the game plan 156 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 1: because we always do, but this week, especially not knowing 157 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,679 Speaker 1: who's going to be available that as we lost Caden 158 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 1: in the game, you saw a lot more of Cunningham 159 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,480 Speaker 1: playing that kind of jumbo tight end and able to 160 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 1: go ahead and create some situations that we could run 161 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 1: to favorable looks and create situations that we want to 162 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 1: see certain looks on the field from their defense. What's 163 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 1: uh the difference in this defense last three weeks? I 164 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 1: think really you look way more for the last three 165 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 1: weeks kind of like you did last year weeks early 166 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 1: in the season. You didn't I see the team as 167 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 1: a whole. But you know directly, you know on your 168 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,600 Speaker 1: question about the defense, I just see guys improving. You're 169 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 1: talking about you know what helps you improve? To me, 170 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:58,480 Speaker 1: you just keep it simply, you go back to what's 171 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 1: really important this game. It's fun the mentals. You know, 172 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,480 Speaker 1: you go back to playing with you know, good zone vision, 173 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 1: good man leverage, good breaks, on the ball, good footing, 174 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 1: you know, good anticipation, not having bad penalties within the game. 175 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 1: We got to keep playing with better pre snap focus 176 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:12,720 Speaker 1: and post nap execution. How to keep doing a good 177 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,159 Speaker 1: job of that. But in terms of this defensive of 178 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 1: why they're you know, improving in terms of you know 179 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,280 Speaker 1: doing it. To me, it comes back to just how 180 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,719 Speaker 1: they stay committed to work and every week. You know, 181 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 1: one thing I've seen a lot of the situational improvements 182 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,839 Speaker 1: of you know, red zone defense improven throughout the season, 183 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,159 Speaker 1: that the two minute defense improven throughout the season, you know, 184 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,599 Speaker 1: finding different ways of creating pressure or if we're not 185 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 1: getting a lot of pressure, having coverage combinations that change up. 186 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,040 Speaker 1: The other thing, too, is these guys are really learning 187 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 1: how to communicate and work and play next to each other. 188 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 1: Pat had a couple of calls and he literally drew 189 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:42,800 Speaker 1: up in the sandar. We talked about last night and 190 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,280 Speaker 1: staff meeting. Whatever we gotta do. We understand who this 191 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 1: team is. An offensive defense kicking game, you gotta make 192 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 1: an adjustment, you know, get it. I don't want to 193 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 1: I don't want to come out of this game and 194 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 1: have If we can only get to this call would 195 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 1: help us as patting. The staff sat there, they drew 196 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 1: up a couple of calls on the sideline. Guys understood 197 00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 1: the fund amount of how to play it, communicated well, 198 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 1: and they're able to go ahead and make some plays 199 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 1: on it. That was big for us. So you came 200 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 1: into this game with only two running backs, one half 201 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 1: back and went fullback. So when when Booker goes down, 202 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 1: you can your back your head think, you know, hope, boy, 203 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 1: now we only got one it's a fullback. Well, Culen 204 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 1: can play as well too. Colin Gillespie is you know, 205 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 1: he works all the time in practice. He's played for 206 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 1: US some preseason as far as scrim and stuff. Yeah, 207 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 1: I mean this guy can play too. So I mean 208 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 1: everybody's accountably productive at their position. So in terms of 209 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 1: coming to the game, we came in with three backs, 210 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 1: so his Booker, Penny and Colin, so they were all 211 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 1: ready to go. The fact that Bill when you will 212 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 1: go in to run the ball and then Elive was 213 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 1: the only one back there to run the ball. He gets, 214 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,080 Speaker 1: you know, twenty one yards on two carries where everyone 215 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 1: knows who's coming sort of, you know how with an 216 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,240 Speaker 1: offensive line that Offen because not able to do that. 217 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 1: How satisfying is that that you with that kind of scenario. 218 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 1: It shows to me we're becoming a balanced team, you know, 219 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 1: and balanced teams can run when they have to run 220 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 1: and throw and they have to throw. And that was 221 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 1: a situation in the game where we had to go 222 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 1: ahead and run as much time off the clock, be 223 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 1: productive moving the ball, try to keep their offense off 224 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,160 Speaker 1: the field. So it became obviously in that situation, and 225 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 1: not that we didn't throw it, we did throw it, 226 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 1: but it became more of a primary want to run 227 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 1: the ball and be productive moving the ball. That ELI 228 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 1: did a good job as far as breaking tackles and 229 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 1: extending the offensive line. The tight ends did a good 230 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 1: job as far as you know, getting it going and 231 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 1: making the blocks and move them off the line of scrimms. 232 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 1: Take advantage of it. Look, we've convience at all the time. 233 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 1: We've confidence all our players. We really do. You know. 234 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 1: I don't blink no matter who's in the game when 235 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 1: they come over and they tell me Bookers down. You know, 236 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 1: my thought processes is he okay, I'm never worried about 237 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:26,560 Speaker 1: oh no, he's out, who's in. To me, it's Okay, 238 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:28,679 Speaker 1: they all prepare. If they're at the game, they should 239 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 1: be prepared. You mentioned half ruins plays up in the 240 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,120 Speaker 1: or any of those on that last raw, Yes, picular 241 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:40,000 Speaker 1: you can mention. I'm not gonna go too specific into it, 242 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 1: but he had a couple of calls that he made 243 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,200 Speaker 1: adjustments on the bench before going out there that last drive. 244 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 1: You know, you talk about, you know the guy that's 245 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:48,560 Speaker 1: killing us a waller, and that guy is a good player. Now, 246 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:49,800 Speaker 1: I mean, they'll find this guy all the way down 247 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 1: the field, seems all stuff. He's just he's a big target, 248 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 1: he's got good hands, he's very fast and athletic, you 249 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 1: know obviously, and then you know Renfro early in the 250 00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 1: game too. I mean, those two guys they're initiative deal 251 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 1: with and then then you start tying the backs. You 252 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 1: gotta focus on eight, three and thirteen, and Richie did 253 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 1: a good job with Gregg and those guys obviously making 254 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,719 Speaker 1: adjustments and you know, car finding the backs underneath. So 255 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,320 Speaker 1: they kind of created the handoffs by just through the checkdowns. 256 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 1: Follow you guys have obviously had some difficulties and fourth 257 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 1: quarters this year it's hard for guys, maybe you know, 258 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 1: it's maybe the back of guy's minds or not. What 259 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 1: do you at that last defensive stand, you know, because 260 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:25,920 Speaker 1: it's that's a pretty stressful time. Ob Yeah, obviously it 261 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:27,440 Speaker 1: was a big part of the game, you know, to 262 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:29,600 Speaker 1: end the game that way, ended with a turnover, you know, 263 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 1: And I'm always talking through all the scenarios. So as 264 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 1: that's happening, I'm clicking back and forth and talking to Jason. Okay, Jason, 265 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:36,560 Speaker 1: gonna use the time out coming up here. Just be 266 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 1: thinking about if we're down, Okay, is a tie game 267 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:40,440 Speaker 1: where were down by one? If they go for two 268 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:42,320 Speaker 1: and we got two time outs, I'll think about getting 269 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:43,840 Speaker 1: arranged for a field. But let's think about what we need. 270 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 1: Start going through the menu, you know, clicking back over 271 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 1: on the defense. Okay, what are we thinking here? You know, 272 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 1: one of them, we want to call a time out 273 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:51,920 Speaker 1: based on seeing what they're gonna do. So, you know, 274 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 1: I used that time out in that instance to make 275 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 1: sure that we had an understanding of offensively what they're 276 00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,080 Speaker 1: looking for that personnel grouping, you know, what they want 277 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,120 Speaker 1: schematically matches with, and that was something that matched been 278 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 1: to what Pat was kind of drawn up on the sideline. 279 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 1: So we had a kind of a new call, new 280 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 1: personnel grouping from them, want to make sure that we're 281 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:06,959 Speaker 1: on the same page. You know, ended up being productive 282 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:12,480 Speaker 1: for us overall. From obviously he's come on the last 283 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 1: couple of weeks, but that that final play from the rives. 284 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:17,920 Speaker 1: Did you see the play as it was happening. Yeah, 285 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 1: I could see him kind of you know, making his 286 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 1: way and get into the block and get to him. 287 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 1: But I'd say, this guy just works hard. He's he's 288 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,160 Speaker 1: a guy that when you watch this tape coming out, 289 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:26,839 Speaker 1: we liked him. Obviously we didn't get him in the draft, 290 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 1: went to Pittsburgh. We're able to get him through the 291 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,560 Speaker 1: fifty three cut, So that was something that when it happened, 292 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:32,719 Speaker 1: was very good for us. Uh see a guy, he 293 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 1: works hard, he's got a high motor. He's really learning 294 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 1: the game. You know, he's got a skill set like 295 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 1: all these young guys do. But all these rookies are 296 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 1: really truly learning the game. When we start talking about 297 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 1: the pass rushers on the edge, you know, you look 298 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 1: at these guys throughout the league, throughout just time. It 299 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 1: takes these guys a little while to get caught up 300 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 1: if there's a big difference between playing against the tackles 301 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 1: and the protections in the NFL versus college, it's just 302 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,200 Speaker 1: reality is it's very different. Every one of those tackles. 303 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,680 Speaker 1: They're big, they're long, they're more athletic, they play with 304 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,680 Speaker 1: better anticipation. Norm it's tough to get these guys off 305 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:03,680 Speaker 1: the spot and just go ahead and walk across their face. 306 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 1: So you have to have, you know, what's your main move, 307 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:07,720 Speaker 1: what's your change up? Where can you go to you 308 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:09,320 Speaker 1: know in a situation. But he's done a good job 309 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,199 Speaker 1: being productive force. He's made some plays in a run game. 310 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,199 Speaker 1: He's made some plays now and some pass rushes. He's 311 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,440 Speaker 1: doing a decent job force in the kicking game. Um, 312 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,679 Speaker 1: like every player, there's a lot of things. Just keep developing. 313 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:19,240 Speaker 1: This will be a good week for him in terms of, 314 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:20,600 Speaker 1: you know, coming off and have a couple of days 315 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 1: is by a week of getting better understanding some things 316 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:24,880 Speaker 1: we get through this stretch of the season. But I 317 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 1: see an improving player right there. Kerry Sonny didn't get 318 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,719 Speaker 1: as hard tell it was the third quarter and trying 319 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,319 Speaker 1: a couple of cat plays early, But why was this 320 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 1: so difficult to get him involved in the passing game. 321 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:38,679 Speaker 1: I want it takes along to it. We want to 322 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 1: get all of our series involved. Obviously it's a good 323 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:42,960 Speaker 1: job taking these guys away at different times. Um, you know, 324 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 1: a large part of our you know, game plan today 325 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 1: obviously turning the run game. We're run the ball very productively, 326 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,440 Speaker 1: so we're moving the ball. KT made a big play 327 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 1: for Uce getting the first down down the stretch right there. 328 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:53,440 Speaker 1: That was big force. You know, Kenny made a couple 329 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 1: of big catches force as far as moving the ball, 330 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 1: you know. But again we're gonna kind of you know, 331 00:11:57,840 --> 00:11:59,440 Speaker 1: go through the game plan and take what the defense 332 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,080 Speaker 1: presents with us. And we had opportunity today to get 333 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,880 Speaker 1: the run game going. And I'm not sure the exact 334 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 1: statistics all the way, but you know, I had some 335 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:09,800 Speaker 1: production in that was beneficial limited limited physically at all 336 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,679 Speaker 1: because he limited physically at all at this point from 337 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:14,600 Speaker 1: what giving he had the angle of recently, and then 338 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 1: everybody national Football League has something at this point, so 339 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,439 Speaker 1: you know, in terms of percent once camp starts, no 340 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 1: one's undercent for fideration of the season. So I'm specifically 341 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:24,959 Speaker 1: what it is. Obviously, he was many coal clear to 342 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,360 Speaker 1: go out there and play. Um. I think Katie is 343 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:29,079 Speaker 1: a guy that placed for a lot of things. He's 344 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 1: a tough dude, places through a lot of things. So 345 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 1: you know, he doesn't ever use that an excuse and 346 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 1: we don't either. So did you get an explanation for 347 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,520 Speaker 1: the in the first quarter the unsportsmanlike on the punt 348 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:40,360 Speaker 1: of what was the explanation? What did they see to 349 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:42,679 Speaker 1: to call that? I don't know exactly what they saw. 350 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:44,680 Speaker 1: I'm gonna look at the tape myself. Didn't look like 351 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 1: you went to the head area. Uh, And I think 352 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 1: he on he just explained to us that he saw, 353 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 1: you know, you know, Coope coming up the field made 354 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 1: a mistackle. He stuck his foot in the ground and 355 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:54,679 Speaker 1: look like he went up to we call next level 356 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 1: and make the block of the person in front of 357 00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 1: and get the thing increased and going. Uh. I don't 358 00:12:58,600 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 1: know if he even knew at that time it was 359 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 1: a punt. We're not gonna take cheap shots on anybody, quarterbacks, 360 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,000 Speaker 1: specially whatever it is. But at the same time, if 361 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,959 Speaker 1: it's an interception or it's a return and there's somebody 362 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 1: in the way, we're gonna run the ball, you know, 363 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:10,480 Speaker 1: you've got to block them and open up that team. 364 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:12,080 Speaker 1: I have not seen the tape. I call it a 365 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,280 Speaker 1: bit about the corn of my eye. Um, I'm gonna 366 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 1: take a look at it right there and if it's 367 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:19,040 Speaker 1: anything you know we have to correct, will correct. Uh. 368 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,240 Speaker 1: There a couple of guys I said something for goals. 369 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:24,719 Speaker 1: You know, this is around the time last year where 370 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:28,040 Speaker 1: you guys started to put it together. Um, and you 371 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,439 Speaker 1: talked about eliminating mistakes. Wondering if big picture, as you 372 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,840 Speaker 1: look at this team, if you see some similarities as 373 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,680 Speaker 1: you won two or three to win, you started to 374 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,960 Speaker 1: win for straight last year and started tasting some success, 375 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 1: do you see some similarities big picture wise? So things, 376 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 1: it's easy to draw parallels between a lot of different 377 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,120 Speaker 1: situations we've all been through in the past. This is 378 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,199 Speaker 1: its own team. It's a completely unique and different team. 379 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:50,839 Speaker 1: And last year. The important thing for us to keep 380 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:53,320 Speaker 1: improving and playing better ball every week sales time the 381 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:55,040 Speaker 1: goals be the best team, even possibly at the end 382 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:56,920 Speaker 1: of season, and I see us improven week by week. 383 00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,160 Speaker 1: We gotta keep on that trend, make sure we come back, 384 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:00,720 Speaker 1: get as healthy as we can and get rest over 385 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 1: this next week. But then also the same time take 386 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,480 Speaker 1: advantage of time we have to improve going forward. And 387 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:07,040 Speaker 1: then we had a tough stretch coming up, so we 388 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:08,360 Speaker 1: had to come back right play some you know, our 389 00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:08,960 Speaker 1: best football
