1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:02,280
Speaker 1: Hey, DeMarcus, are you what's going on?

2
00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:02,480
Speaker 2: Mike?

3
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:03,000
Speaker 3: How you doing?

4
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,080
Speaker 1: I'm doing well, So I'm doing well. I'm curious that

5
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:08,520
Speaker 1: you've been here for a long time and you guys

6
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:10,479
Speaker 1: aren't the only ones that use that sort of mush

7
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:13,039
Speaker 1: rush if you will, but you seem to do it

8
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 1: really well. What are sort of the challenges of teaching

9
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 1: that and getting guys to control sort of the desire

10
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:20,920
Speaker 1: to go get the quarterback, which I think a lot

11
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:22,840
Speaker 1: of them would love to go get the quarterback versus

12
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,120
Speaker 1: don't go, don't go out and field too far. How

13
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 1: do you sort of balance that between the n actual

14
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 1: instinct of a player and then what you guys need

15
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:31,320
Speaker 1: out of the rush plan.

16
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:32,520
Speaker 2: Yeah.

17
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 3: I mean we always talk about discipline within our rush,

18
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 3: being aggressive, but discipline and I think that just comes

19
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 3: with the territory playing and d lin and just you know,

20
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 3: just not running you know, too far past the quarterback

21
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 3: or getting out our lanes and then also just being

22
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 3: you know, rushing as a unit. That's what we kind

23
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 3: of preach rush as your unit. Make sure we have

24
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 3: good rush lanes, be aggressive, try to get out the quarterback,

25
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 3: and then just have awareness within our in our rush

26
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 3: other quarterback.

27
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 1: Ju Don't has talked in the past about sort of

28
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 1: every once in a while being like, hey, fellas, I'm

29
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:12,199
Speaker 1: going this time, like is there is there a balance

30
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 1: there or is it like if you go and do

31
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,040
Speaker 1: what we told you not to do, you better make

32
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 1: sure you get to the quarterback.

33
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 3: Actually, you know, there's player instincts on certain things, so

34
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 3: you know, let the players play, you know, and have

35
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 3: their instincts. And again it goes back to Russian as

36
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:33,040
Speaker 3: a unit. So if a guy rushes outside, we need

37
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 3: to give the middle push. If a guy goes outside,

38
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 3: we need somebody, you know, we need somebody inside, somebody

39
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 3: to take the inside move. We need somebody outside, you know,

40
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,639
Speaker 3: just you know, if any type of our jersey across

41
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 3: your face replace some of those type of deals where

42
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 3: it's it's all about you know, rushing as a unit,

43
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 3: knowing who you rushing with, and then just making sure

44
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 3: we build a.

45
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 2: Good trap on the quarterback.

46
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: Thanks so appreciate it.

47
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 3: Thank you.

48
00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 4: Next question, Bob says, thanks step coming to us.

49
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 2: What's going on about?

50
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 4: How you know I'm doing well? Thanks?

51
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 5: This actually follows up on Mike's question because I've also

52
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 5: heard Matthew say, there are times in a game where

53
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 5: you kind of set up a move or something you

54
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,959
Speaker 5: want to go to later in the game, and I'm

55
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 5: curious how you balance that within the framework of the defense.

56
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,239
Speaker 5: You know, when you've got a rusher who's trying to

57
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 5: set up something, maybe not for that particular snap, but

58
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,239
Speaker 5: you know for a subsequent snap where he knows he's

59
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 5: going to be able to counter what he did earlier

60
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 5: and so to speak, or counter what the offensive tackle

61
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 5: did to adjust.

62
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, it's a game within a game. So

63
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 3: I mean, if you talk about a rusher gets the

64
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 3: opportunity to let's say of the team, those of all

65
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 3: forty times those are for the opportunities you get the

66
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 3: rush over that tackle. And so there's plenty of opportunities

67
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 3: for you to work different moves and set up different

68
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 3: moves based off of what you used early in the game,

69
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 3: in the game or throughout that drive. So that's kind

70
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 3: of what he's what he's alluding to on those And

71
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 3: then obviously we have, you know, are through film study

72
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 3: through tape of what we've seen other opponents do to

73
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 3: you know, their offensive line. So just kind of take

74
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:18,919
Speaker 3: advantage of the opportunity that presents us and then try

75
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:19,919
Speaker 3: to get out to the quarterback.

76
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,959
Speaker 4: And with regards to Sam Roberts and his increase staffcount

77
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 4: obviously out of necessity on Sunday with the injuries inside,

78
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 4: what are your thoughts about his performance and how did

79
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 4: he set up this opportunity with the way he finished

80
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 4: the preseason.

81
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you know, Sam, just going back to

82
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 3: last year, he's done everything we've asked him to do.

83
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 3: You know, he's a he's a guy that comes in

84
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 3: the early, stays late, the guy that works hard, that uh,

85
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 3: you know, tries to get better every day. And really

86
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 3: for us, you always earn the right to play through

87
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 3: your practice and your performance on the practice field. And

88
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 3: that's a guy that does his job on the practice

89
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 3: field every day. He's you know, improved every week. And

90
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 3: you know, whenever his opportunity is available, which it was

91
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 3: available this past week, and he took advantage of it.

92
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 3: And so that's what we asked him to do. And

93
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 3: so and if we ask him to do that again

94
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,599
Speaker 3: this week, you know, I know he'll be ready to

95
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 3: do the same thing. So I love working with him.

96
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 3: He's done a great job for us, and I think

97
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 3: again it starts on the practice field for him, where

98
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 3: he's shown us and he's proven on the practice field

99
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 3: that he's gained ready and can compete in the game,

100
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 3: which I think he did that on Sunday.

101
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 4: Thank you to Marcus.

102
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 2: Thank you.

103
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 4: Next question Kyrie.

104
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 2: Thompson, heydon Marcus, how's it going, what's going on? Car

105
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 2: other much, just wanted to get your initial thoughts on

106
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 2: the Cowboys. What do they do well on offense and

107
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 2: what can you guys do what do you guys need

108
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 2: to do effectively on Sunday and to stop them?

109
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I mean talk about the Cowboys. I mean

110
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,840
Speaker 3: a good balanced offense, got a good running game, good

111
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 3: passing game, you know with UH, especially with Dak and CD,

112
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 3: you know those two, and then the running game with Pollard.

113
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 3: You know, they do a really good job and got

114
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 3: a strong offensive line that that does well in the

115
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 3: run game. They work well together, they create holes in

116
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:21,600
Speaker 3: it throughout the defense for their running backs to run

117
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 3: and UH, it's just you know, it's a game playing

118
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 3: element for those teams. So we got to do a

119
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 3: good job, you know, like like every week with our fundamentals,

120
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 3: our technique, our awareness and UH and our good communication.

121
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 3: So those are the keys for us that we need

122
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 3: to do a good job with just having good fundamentals

123
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,919
Speaker 3: and technique, playing within the framework of our defense, and

124
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 3: playing with good communication and good awareness.

125
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 2: And also, as a quick follow up, we've seen we've

126
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 2: seen a couple of weeks worth of Keon Waite. What

127
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 2: are your initial impressions of him so far?

128
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's another guy that's getting better, you know, every week.

129
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 3: So you know, got called a rookie that's been through

130
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 3: training camp, the preseason and now you know his three

131
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 3: three games of the season, who's improving in something you

132
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 3: know every week and he's learning every week. I think

133
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 3: the knowledge of the game, that's that's one of the

134
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,839
Speaker 3: things about a lot of veteran players. They play ball,

135
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 3: they have a good knowledge, and where rookies are, they're

136
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 3: trying to come in and learn the same knowledge that

137
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 3: those veteran players have, you know, whether it's you know,

138
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 3: within the defense, or whether it's uh through film study,

139
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 3: or whether that's you know, on the offensive perspective of

140
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 3: what the keys to see. So he's gaining that week

141
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,479
Speaker 3: the weekend. I think the plan experiences helping him out.

142
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:42,600
Speaker 4: All right, it looks like all the hands raised for

143
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 4: today's Thank you very much.

144
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 3: To Marcus I, thank you
