1 00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:12,120 Speaker 1: After a night to ruminate on things, and I'll watch film. 2 00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:15,320 Speaker 1: Do you have a better idea how you might handle 3 00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:17,840 Speaker 1: Rwandri Stevenson and the pumpie. 4 00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:21,920 Speaker 2: Well, we've got to continue to practice the crap out 5 00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:24,880 Speaker 2: of it. We also have to do a better job 6 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:30,000 Speaker 2: of protecting said person with the ball, whether that's the quarterback, 7 00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:33,320 Speaker 2: whether that's the running back or or the receiver. And 8 00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:38,000 Speaker 2: we we're all responsible for for the security of the 9 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:43,400 Speaker 2: football and starts with the person who has it, and 10 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:48,240 Speaker 2: then and then it, you know, falls on the people 11 00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:52,920 Speaker 2: that are blocking. And now again we'll continue to wrap it. 12 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 2: And if we have to put two hands on the 13 00:00:54,720 --> 00:01:00,959 Speaker 2: football and when we're going through there, that's what we'll 14 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:02,959 Speaker 2: have to do, you know. I then the only thing 15 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 2: I know how to do is to continue to practice 16 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:10,800 Speaker 2: it and and work it. But then also, you know, 17 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:12,959 Speaker 2: maybe it's not so much the person that you see, 18 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 2: it's the one you don't see. And there was a 19 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,760 Speaker 2: few opportunities that we can show them here in a 20 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:21,040 Speaker 2: little bit of that. And yes, the person is responsible 21 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:24,320 Speaker 2: for taking care of the football, but again the other 22 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 2: people are also have a critical job in ball security. 23 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,480 Speaker 3: Understanding the production can be a result of what the 24 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:33,960 Speaker 3: defense gives you. What can your sever roop do to 25 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:35,680 Speaker 3: be more productives going forward? 26 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,280 Speaker 4: Well, I just think keep doing what they've been doing. 27 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,119 Speaker 2: Uh, there's opportunities and we just have to be able 28 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:47,040 Speaker 2: to find them. You know, when things are there, just again, 29 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 2: make the plays that you're supposed to make. You could 30 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 2: see that there's opportunities and you know, whether that's an 31 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 2: incut by Kashan on a third and long or and 32 00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 2: we're breaking routes by by Digs. 33 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 4: Those those are all positive things. 34 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 2: And again it's you can track stats, and we can 35 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 2: track wins or separation and man coverage and match. Again, 36 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 2: there's one football and uh yeah, when when the opportunities 37 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 2: are there, just to continue to make them and then 38 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 2: how well they play with the football without the football. 39 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 2: And I think it's a good example of of of 40 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 2: Digsy there helping Remandre spring him for a big play 41 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,800 Speaker 2: something that didn't happen in Miami and was able to 42 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 2: come back and adjust and take the coaching points and 43 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 2: get the get the look exactly how he needed it 44 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 2: and helped him spring for for an explosive gain. So 45 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 2: that's those are all positive things. And I know as 46 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 2: receivers they want to catch touchdowns, they want to catch 47 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 2: the ball. But you know, we just got to continue 48 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 2: to to spread the ball around and take it where 49 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,680 Speaker 2: take take the football where it's to go, when it's 50 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 2: supposed to go. 51 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,360 Speaker 4: There, and timing and rhythm and ball placement. 52 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 3: Like you mentioned last night, how you guys are gonna 53 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 3: need for Mare this season.

I mean we you know, we believe in them 95 00:04:58,040 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 4: where they wouldn't be here. 96 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 2: We believe them, each and every one of them, and 97 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 2: again just putting them into positions that they feel comfortable 98 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 2: and that there's trust and they have confidence to to 99 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 2: do their job. And then as a professional athlete like we, 100 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 2: you know, you have to be willing to risk something to. 101 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:21,160 Speaker 4: Get something out of it. I think that it's easy to. 102 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 2: You know, sometimes second guess yourself. So you know, Andre's 103 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:35,360 Speaker 2: I'm sure very aware of fumbling, and Antonio and Drake 104 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 2: everybody that fumbled, and so you know, we'll have to, uh, 105 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,359 Speaker 2: you'll come back with a resolve to go and what 106 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:47,479 Speaker 2: happens on one week and doesn't necessarily guarantee it's going 107 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 2: to happen the next. 108 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:51,840 Speaker 4: Week and it can't and and I'm positive that it. 109 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 3: Won't intlatively early in the week, But do you interestedly 110 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:56,280 Speaker 3: having the real fact with you. 111 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:57,360 Speaker 4: Guys think of this week. 112 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 2: Uh, we'll kind of see where things are here going 113 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,480 Speaker 2: forward here in the next couple of days. 114 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:09,360 Speaker 4: But I just he's you know, Terrell's around. 115 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 2: We just you know, got to make sure that we're 116 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 2: trying to build some consistency with with how we do things. 117 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 2: On his fumble that he was trying to make a 118 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 2: play to treating on Henderson, I believe against the Raiders 119 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:20,480 Speaker 2: he made. 120 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,159 Speaker 4: A similar player who was getting taken down and flipped 121 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:22,440 Speaker 4: it out. 122 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:24,479 Speaker 3: How do you walk that line and where is the 123 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 3: line with a young quarterback? 124 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 2: Well, I mean, I think we've heard it here before, 125 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:29,599 Speaker 2: but you know, everybody's trying to make a play. We 126 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 2: just need to make a good, good place and not 127 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,359 Speaker 2: putting the ball at risk and understanding that there's a 128 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 2: timing element to protection and that we certainly don't have 129 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,919 Speaker 2: all day based on the amount of people that we 130 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 2: keep in and protection. So I think that that's critical 131 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 2: that once it gets past the first or second read 132 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 2: that we're going to have to be riddy to get 133 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 2: rid of the football or you know, make sure that 134 00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 2: we're securing it at the end of the play. 135 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 6: Jack Dietbins and Charles Woods his name, how do you 136 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,160 Speaker 6: can be held up with the increased opportunities? 137 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 2: Well, we played good defense and got stops when they 138 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 2: were in there. I think they were okay, you know, 139 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 2: so you know we were going to rotate, and when 140 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 2: we rotated, we started I don't think it was just 141 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 2: those two players, you know, solely, but we started playing 142 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 2: good defense and settling down. 143 00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 4: So I think, you know, we just stuck with it. 144 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 6: When you were there on Saturday Mike at the Hall 145 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 6: of Fame. Two obviously central parts of key parts of 146 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 6: this organization. What did you get from what both of 147 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 6: them represented and what they. 148 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 2: Said, Well, I think we Coach Parcells is just you 149 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 2: know under you know, he made his way of making 150 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 2: connections with players and you know, building a program. I 151 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 2: think it's something that I've always tried to take from that. 152 00:07:58,560 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 4: And again I know that. 153 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 2: You know, practices were different, and as the years go on, 154 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 2: they were harder, and they were you know, they were 155 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:12,239 Speaker 2: three days back then and they practiced for three hours 156 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 2: at a time. I've told those stories before. But I 157 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 2: think just just the foundation when I when I got here, 158 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 2: a lot of those players had been here under under. 159 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 4: Coach Parcels and so they they helped me. 160 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,880 Speaker 2: Come from one organization to another and understand what the 161 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 2: expectations were and kind of how they were, you know, 162 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 2: brought up in his system and what he you know, 163 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 2: things that he felt like were important and for for 164 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 2: Jewels that just think that everybody. I think it's the 165 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:49,720 Speaker 2: journey to the NFL. And his success was about work 166 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:54,599 Speaker 2: and perseverance, uh and having a belief and and you know, 167 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,959 Speaker 2: just continuing to work and taking advantage of your opportunity, 168 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 2: building confidence on special teams, building and being versatile. And 169 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,680 Speaker 2: obviously the connection that he made with his players, with 170 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 2: his teammates was something that I took from from his 171 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 2: time up there. 172 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 3: Won the toss and took the ball. What made that 173 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:14,839 Speaker 3: this the right decision to the. 174 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,960 Speaker 4: Teams or I don't know if it was the right 175 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 4: one or not. 176 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 2: We didn't get a great kickoff return and we fumbled, 177 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 2: so but but my my, the idea was that maybe 178 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 2: we could get a good return and that we could 179 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:36,960 Speaker 2: get off to a fast start. Worked in Miami, didn't 180 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 2: work so good yesterday. So you know, try to, you know, 181 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 2: keep figuring out ways to to help us there early 182 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 2: in the game to get off to a good start. 183 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 4: Was playing was that route run to the proper death. 184 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 2: We need to probably get one revolution further, but even 185 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 2: if we don't, we just have to knife when we 186 00:09:56,360 --> 00:10:00,560 Speaker 2: get between two defenders. You know, again, we had great 187 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,559 Speaker 2: examples in Miami where we split those guys and and 188 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 2: we that that's a decision that's for the team. We 189 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 2: can't circle him up. Mac had one earlier where he 190 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 2: tried to do the same thing, like we need a 191 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,480 Speaker 2: knife between two defenders. It's a little different if you're 192 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 2: in man coverage and it's one guy. But you know, 193 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,199 Speaker 2: when there's two guys, we have to take the yardage 194 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:19,959 Speaker 2: that's there and be. 195 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 4: Able to knife. And you know, extend drives. 196 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 6: Up the the person's cats family letter and you've the 197 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 6: last two expission. 198 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,560 Speaker 4: You want more consistency and that up to that operation. 199 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 2: Does that mean then maybe your twin with the ideas 200 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:44,199 Speaker 2: to real advisory role. Well, I don't know if I'm 201 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,080 Speaker 2: ready to just say that yet. I'm just you know, 202 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 2: making sure that one his health is first and foremost 203 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 2: and that that's critically important. And again just making sure 204 00:10:56,360 --> 00:11:00,200 Speaker 2: that the consistency is there so that we know what 205 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:05,439 Speaker 2: to account for and plan for. And yeah, I don't 206 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 2: want to say that it's fluid, but you know, we'll 207 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 2: see where things are. And if he you know, he's 208 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,040 Speaker 2: going to continue to help us. I just don't know, 209 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:18,080 Speaker 2: based on the availability, what that's going to look like. So, 210 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:24,280 Speaker 2: you know, I don't think the communication and everything that 211 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 2: we've been doing over there has been good. His ability 212 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,959 Speaker 2: to help us has been really good. 213 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:33,679 Speaker 4: But I also don't want to go back and forth. 214 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 2: I don't think that that's that's good for for anybody either, right, 215 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:42,959 Speaker 2: So appreciate you asking about to real but but right 216 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 2: now we'll just kind of, I would say, moving forward, 217 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 2: kind of be where we were last week. That's where 218 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 2: I would anticipate it being this week. 219 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 4: Okay, thanks guys,
