1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:02,400
Speaker 1: Can you take us through the mechanics of just the

2
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:05,640
Speaker 1: conversations that you had with Mike and the officials.

3
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:10,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, obviously, you know, after the after the hit and

4
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 2: you just you know, as a head coach, you just

5
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:16,040
Speaker 2: start looking at your your team, You start looking at

6
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 2: their team, You start looking at body language and and

7
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 2: kind of where guys are mentally. And after you know,

8
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 2: after the amount of time that went past, and then

9
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,159
Speaker 2: Mike and I you know, got together and and and

10
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 2: talked about you know, suspending the game. Just just from

11
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:36,239
Speaker 2: where it was. We had to get our player reps involved,

12
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:39,199
Speaker 2: you know, obviously New York involved, and and it's the

13
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:41,600
Speaker 2: right thing to do, you know, at that time, and

14
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,159
Speaker 2: and uh, you know, this game is all about player safety,

15
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:46,839
Speaker 2: and you know, I know it's a preseason game and

16
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 2: some guys you know, are fighting for spots and and

17
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 2: all of that. But at the same time, we want

18
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 2: to make sure that everybody is one hundred percent offensively.

19
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 1: Twelve first downs on your first two possessions. How do

20
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 1: you How were you guys able to get in such

21
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 1: a rhythm so quickly to night? What did you see?

22
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 2: I mean, it was just something that you know, we

23
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 2: had talked about all week. It just with the starters

24
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 2: knowing that they were going to play, you know, just

25
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 2: just being in the right frame of mind. How to

26
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 2: how to you know, we talked about, you know, starting fast.

27
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 2: We didn't start fast against the Cowboys, you know, a

28
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:19,039
Speaker 2: couple of weeks ago, and so we wanted to come

29
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 2: out and do that and we did and unfortunately, uh,

30
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:25,039
Speaker 2: you know, the turnover tankle learned from that something we

31
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,959
Speaker 2: have to eliminate, obviously in the red zone. And but

32
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 2: please with the way the offense you know, executed those

33
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 2: first two first.

34
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 3: Two drafts, Doug had you planned to play them through

35
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 3: a half and then they looked good for two series

36
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 3: and said, okay, that's.

37
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:46,839
Speaker 1: It, yes, okay, yeah, uh, Doug.

38
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 4: This game concludes Calvin's first preseason back with the team

39
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 4: or in the league. Could you just talk about what

40
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 4: you saw from him over the last few weeks and

41
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 4: just I mean, he had that one catch today that

42
00:01:58,480 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 4: looked like Calvin Ridley.

43
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 2: I mean, he is. He's embraced sort of this second chance,

44
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 2: you know, this opportunity, and he's done an outstanding job

45
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 2: of coming in and picking up the system, blending with

46
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:18,399
Speaker 2: the guys, you know, and and really again just embracing

47
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 2: the opportunity. You know, he understands obviously where he's been

48
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 2: and what he's been through, and and uh, he just

49
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 2: appreciates every moment that he can he can be out there,

50
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 2: you know, on the grass and and uh, you know

51
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 2: he did he did some really nice things early in

52
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,079
Speaker 2: the football game, and and uh, it's really good to see.

53
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,080
Speaker 1: Coach. How pleased were you to see Trevor distribute a

54
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:41,799
Speaker 1: ball to multiple receivers.

55
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's you know, obviously, that's what you hope,

56
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 2: you know, anticipate to, uh, you know, spread the ball around.

57
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:51,640
Speaker 2: I think everybody but Evan was able to get a catch,

58
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 2: you know, those first two drives. But you know, it's

59
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 2: what you want. I mean, Christian came up with a

60
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 2: big fourth down force there and and kept the drive alive.

61
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 2: And you know, obviously we talked about Za and Calvin

62
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 2: and you know TJ and Tank ran ran hard. Give

63
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 2: credit to the offensive line too, you know, for the

64
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,799
Speaker 2: way they protected, the way they blocked. Just just well

65
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 2: executed by the by the first unit.

66
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 5: Can you talk about the next three days. You got

67
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 5: some tough decisions to make with the cuts the backups

68
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,920
Speaker 5: have looked awfully good all three preseason games. And do

69
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 5: you start talking to some of these guys tomorrow or

70
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 5: will you wait until Tuesday to make.

71
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:32,920
Speaker 2: The fun you know, I feel like our young guys

72
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 2: have played extremely well, you know, and they've really embraced

73
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 2: their opportunities and made the most of their opportunities when

74
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 2: they had had chances in these in these three preseason games.

75
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 2: And and my hat's off to them for how they

76
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 2: you know, attack training camp. And yeah, you're right, this

77
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 2: is a this is a tough time of the year

78
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 2: for thirty two clubs. You know, you've got to get

79
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 2: down to fifty three and and uh, you know, you

80
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 2: disrupt the lives of so many, so many players and

81
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 2: so many athletes. But you know, we've got a chance

82
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 2: tomorrow actually to to get through the tape. We have

83
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 2: a family you know, barbecue lunch played tomorrow for everybody

84
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 2: you know on the football side, players, coaches, everybody, And

85
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 2: we're going to enjoy that. And we're going to get

86
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 2: through tomorrow, and uh, and then and then start making

87
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 2: some tough decisions, you know, Monday, Tuesday.

88
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 6: Doug Walker little didn't play today precautionary reasons. Is that

89
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 6: something to be concerned about long term or.

90
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 2: No, it's just something that you know, he he, he

91
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 2: kind of tweaked his kind of his right growing in

92
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 2: practice the other day, and we warmed him up the

93
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 2: last couple of days, actually worked him out before the game,

94
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,039
Speaker 2: and just just felt like in the best interest of

95
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 2: him and our team and you know, uh, him being

96
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 2: the starting left tackle, I didn't want to didn't want

97
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 2: to risk it, you know, and set him back or

98
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 2: set up our offense back. So just precautionary kept him.

99
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 6: Out and then vinro Miller was I guess ruled out eventually.

100
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, well we'll see, you know, we'll see later tonight

101
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 2: and then have probably a better update for you tomorrow

102
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 2: and at least have a statement for you tomorrow on Bentroky.

103
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 5: Doug, You're you're starting offense one hundred and sixty four

104
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 5: yards on the first of their two possessions. Uh, operated

105
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,840
Speaker 5: very clean except for fumble in the red zone you.

106
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 3: Just talked about and Trevor, who's every single one of

107
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 3: his weapons on both drives. Did you just talk about

108
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:22,919
Speaker 3: the just how you felt the first offense.

109
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 2: I obviously I thought they they they came out in

110
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 2: the right frame of mind knowing that they were playing

111
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 2: in this football game, so they've had, you know, obviously

112
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 2: time to prepare for it, and and just they attacked

113
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 2: it the right way, you know, and and w that's

114
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 2: what we wanted to see as an offense, That's what

115
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 2: I wanted to see, was just you know, the execution

116
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 2: and uh uh it started up front with the offensive line.

117
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 2: I felt like, you know, we were playing on their

118
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 2: side of the ball, on their side of the line

119
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,599
Speaker 2: of scrimmage, you know, for those first couple of drives,

120
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 2: and and you know, both TJ and Tank did some

121
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 2: did the nice job in a run game, Trevor, as

122
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 2: you mentioned, dispersing the football all you know, a fourth

123
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,599
Speaker 2: down conversion in there, you know, not many third downs,

124
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 2: which is which is obviously good, you know, but I

125
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 2: thought overall, this was a really good, uh, really good

126
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 2: result for them, you know, being the last preseason game

127
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 2: getting ready for the regular season.

128
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: Doug, you talked a few weeks ago to us about

129
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 1: ETN and wanting him to run then a little bit

130
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 1: different of a of a style and more squared shoulders

131
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: and things like that. Obviously it was very productive tonight.

132
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,840
Speaker 1: Have you seen that payoff in training? Camp for him, I.

133
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,160
Speaker 2: Have and you really saw it tonight. You know, we

134
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 2: talk about you know, keeping the shoulder square and and

135
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 2: just keep keep throwing jabs, keep throwing punches, right, you know,

136
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,119
Speaker 2: two yards, three yards, two yards, one yard, two yards,

137
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,359
Speaker 2: three yards and eventually those turned into eight yards and

138
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,159
Speaker 2: ten yards and twelve yards and you know, so it's

139
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,719
Speaker 2: just it's got to be a consistency. And we've we've

140
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 2: seen that, you know, throughout the course of the spring

141
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 2: and obviously training camp with him. He did a nice

142
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 2: out with that tonight and again he's uh, you know,

143
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 2: he's maturing and and really I think embracing his opportunity

144
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 2: as well.

145
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 1: Trayvon had four tackles tonight. Uh what kind of camp

146
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 1: has he had? And I don't know how much he

147
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: might have caught your eye tonight, you.

148
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 2: Know, Trayvon has has has really he's really attacked this

149
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 2: training camp. He came in right frame of mind several

150
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 2: weeks ago, and you know, he knew he had to

151
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 2: you know, develop obviously pass rush and we know what

152
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 2: he can do set in the edge, and you know,

153
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 2: I think I think tonight too, was was just a

154
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 2: good way for him to you know, uh, kind of

155
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 2: finished finished camp and and sort of catapult him into

156
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 2: the regular season. So please where he's at. Please where

157
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 2: the defense is at. Obviously, I know the young guy

158
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 2: has created some takeaways you know today and and uh,

159
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 2: our defense, you know, he stopped when they had to

160
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 2: in the red zone, you know, kept him, kept him

161
00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 2: field goals, which is good. And and you know, please

162
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 2: with you know, the whole units one.

163
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, coach O, we're here on your left. Just talk.

164
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 3: Compare the two preseasons now that you've had here, since

165
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 3: this one's now coming to an end. It seems like

166
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 3: last year establishing culture, trying to figure out what you had,

167
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 3: assembling of staff and all that. This year, everything's already

168
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 3: pretty much installed, and it seems like the results have

169
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 3: been a lot smoother, especially on the opposite side of

170
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 3: the ball.

171
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 5: It has.

172
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 2: And and you know it's the right guys in the

173
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 2: in the locker room. Quite frankly, you know a lot

174
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 2: of guys returning from last year. They know how they

175
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 2: know how I like to operate when it comes to

176
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,559
Speaker 2: practices and training camp, and you know, make it as

177
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 2: difficult as I can, you know, on them during training camp.

178
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,719
Speaker 2: And you know they embraced it and they did a

179
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 2: nice job. Very proud of you know, everybody you know

180
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,439
Speaker 2: in training camp. But you know it's the leadership of

181
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 2: the locker room that really shows up, you know, in

182
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 2: year two. And you know, I feel like that as

183
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:58,199
Speaker 2: the head coach, I don't necessarily have to motivate these players.

184
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 2: They can motivate themselves now, and that's that's a good sign,

185
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 2: you know that they can they can take that upon themselves.

186
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 2: And I've seen it, you know throughout training camp. You know,

187
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,679
Speaker 2: the things they say and they're talking about things, and

188
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 2: just a really good way to kind of end, you know,

189
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 2: our training camp. We still have one more week, but

190
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 2: but really the way the way they finished sets us

191
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 2: up for the regular season.

192
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:28,079
Speaker 5: Lay Doug the last look at Cam before his suspension

193
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 5: game reps anyway, how did he play tonight?

194
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,839
Speaker 1: You think early impressions and did you you wanted to

195
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: play him a lot?

196
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 2: I'm assuming yeah, you know that was the goal coming

197
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 2: into camp was to give him a lot of a

198
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 2: lot of reps. Let him play, you know, because we

199
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 2: know the suspension is coming and and he really rebounded

200
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 2: from the Detroit game. You know, I didn't think he

201
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 2: played his best in Detroit. He knew that, and uh,

202
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 2: he bounced back tonight. You know. Obviously a tough situation

203
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,679
Speaker 2: because it was a late kind of a late decision

204
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 2: right to go with him as a starter, but he

205
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,680
Speaker 2: really embraced it. I thought he did a nice job,

206
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 2: very consistent, you know, and and really the calm of

207
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 2: old that that we all we all know he can be.

208
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 2: He showed up tonight. Thank you, coach, all right, thank

209
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 2: you for your
