1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,000 Speaker 1: Here we are again, reachards ready to go excited about 2 00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:09,920 Speaker 1: second half of the season. I'll oumpen it up for questions. Okay, 3 00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:14,640 Speaker 1: thank you very much. How much does Xavier's absence on 4 00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:18,840 Speaker 1: the back end and wearing the dot affects your defense 5 00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:21,480 Speaker 1: and what you guys have to care for now? Um? 6 00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:24,560 Speaker 1: I think that you know there'll be an effect. It 7 00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:26,200 Speaker 1: could be a good effect or a bad effect. Well, 8 00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:28,639 Speaker 1: we're gonna find that out. It's just you know, I 9 00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:31,440 Speaker 1: always talk about the defensive guys about we control the 10 00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:36,280 Speaker 1: narrative of every situation, and you know there's there's there's 11 00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:40,000 Speaker 1: those situations series of events if you will you know 12 00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,120 Speaker 1: during a game that you gotta handle series of events 13 00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:44,879 Speaker 1: during the season. I think we've done a good job 14 00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:49,040 Speaker 1: of that so far for the most part. And there's 15 00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:50,960 Speaker 1: just another, you know, another jury that we're gonna have 16 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,920 Speaker 1: to deal with and get ready to go play the 17 00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 1: Texans one person or placing. How do you see that 18 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 1: fighting out? No? I think that you know, you just 19 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 1: look at each game differently on that you need for 20 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:10,480 Speaker 1: that game, and you know different guys will step up 21 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,480 Speaker 1: and step in and you know Dan will get more 22 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,039 Speaker 1: playing time and than mood he has, He's you know, 23 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,560 Speaker 1: come along very well as a rookie, all of them. 24 00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:22,000 Speaker 1: I think our organizational alignment has been fantastic as far 25 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,959 Speaker 1: as building the roster and continue to build the roster 26 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:32,480 Speaker 1: for what we need schematically and h it's gonna be 27 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,920 Speaker 1: a different look. I feel, you know, I feel bad 28 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,319 Speaker 1: for the guy himself. I know he didn't do it 29 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,880 Speaker 1: on purpose. I feel bad for his teammates. But you've 30 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 1: got a group a group of men in there that 31 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 1: are just selfless and you know, I want to play 32 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 1: for each other, and they understand series of events and 33 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 1: they're they're going to get ready to step up and 34 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 1: go play. Wait. Whatever you liked about how Dane has performed, 35 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 1: and also like where the areas where you'd like to 36 00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 1: see him grow a little bit? Uh. I think that 37 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 1: he's a he's a student of the game. Uh. He 38 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 1: takes it very serious as a profession. That's what jumps 39 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:10,519 Speaker 1: out at me. He's a really mature kid for me 40 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,520 Speaker 1: in a rookie. Uh. I don't know if you all 41 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,080 Speaker 1: had a chance to because it with him or not, 42 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 1: but he's very quiet. You know, you have to get him, 43 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,360 Speaker 1: you know, talking louder and things like that, But I 44 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,120 Speaker 1: just like how he approaches the game, and you know 45 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,240 Speaker 1: the players will come you know for him because he 46 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 1: keeps doing the right thing. Uh, he's not an error repeater. 47 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,240 Speaker 1: He you know, he doesn't make the same mistake twice. Um, 48 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:37,080 Speaker 1: and I think as a rookie's ahead of the game. Yeah, 49 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 1: Roles Thursday quite a big in your defense. Who plays 50 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 1: that role? Now, this is a great time for Uh, 51 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 1: well we'll change it around well, just to see who 52 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 1: we haven't available again, you know, as far as the 53 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 1: different people playing different roles with that, so you know, 54 00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 1: I know that j Peel, you know, Pinnicle will come 55 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 1: in and get some more planned time than what he has, 56 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 1: and there'll be others. What had our impressions of Damie 57 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 1: and Pierce h I don't know who said something to 58 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,920 Speaker 1: him or did something totally make him so angry. That 59 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 1: might be the angriest runner in the league. I mean 60 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:24,519 Speaker 1: he is. You know, I'll give you my comparisons again. 61 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:30,839 Speaker 1: I mean old old school Oral Campbell, Jamal Lewis. He's 62 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 1: one of those big power backs that has great balance, 63 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 1: runs mad every time he touches it. Um, you know, 64 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: has quick feet and it's it's it's gonna be tough, 65 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 1: tough assignment. You see the guy you need to shut down. Well, 66 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 1: there's others too. You know, they got they got great speed. 67 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 1: You know, Cooks out there the receiver and uh you 68 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 1: know they're receiving corps good and they're tight ends were 69 00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 1: really talent as well. But I would definitely say, you know, 70 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 1: it all starts with him. That's what he's up for 71 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 1: Rookie of the Year. You anticipate Cook's playing. I mean 72 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 1: then you obviously didn't play last week. How do you 73 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 1: how do you handle that? At this point, it's we 74 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 1: we have anticipated, just like we did fourteen, Seattle is 75 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,719 Speaker 1: gonna play. You know, everybody's tell us he's gonna miss. 76 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,479 Speaker 1: We just we just go until we hear he's you know, 77 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 1: until they give the final who's up and who's down 78 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 1: on Sunday. But I anticipated Coach, when you looked at 79 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 1: you at your defense over the by, did you find 80 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 1: anything that that you said to yourself, you know, we 81 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 1: want to definitely hone in on these things. Maybe you 82 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 1: can do it a little differently. I think that overall, 83 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,480 Speaker 1: there's some things that stood out to us that we're 84 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:48,720 Speaker 1: ahead of schedule on. I think situational football. We've handled 85 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:50,919 Speaker 1: that really well this year and it had been successful 86 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,039 Speaker 1: in situational football, and you know all those situations you 87 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 1: want to look at, third down, the red zone, two minutes, um. 88 00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 1: There's some other things that you know that we need 89 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 1: to shore up. But it's one of those things when 90 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,919 Speaker 1: you go back and not just looking at the last 91 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 1: eight games, but you look at a buy game. There's 92 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 1: different ways you play a game each week, so you 93 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 1: might have to give something to take something else away. 94 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:18,600 Speaker 1: And in the bottom line when you look at it 95 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,920 Speaker 1: is is at the buy your six and two. That's 96 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:23,600 Speaker 1: that's the biggest thing we'll look at, is you get 97 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,719 Speaker 1: you get six wins and you know, but there's things 98 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 1: you know that we continue to work up. How are 99 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 1: you approaching how are you approaching that? And it's going 100 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 1: to be the next the next guy up. You know, 101 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 1: hankled will come up probably for him or writer one 102 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:51,360 Speaker 1: of those two and Joe and daytona um. But it's 103 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 1: just the next guy up. And what we we have 104 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 1: a very solid outside back of room as well. Uh. 105 00:05:58,680 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 1: You know, when you're a sub, you call them do 106 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 1: defensive ends. When you're based calling outside backers and some 107 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: of those guys like Hottie and some other guys can 108 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:10,280 Speaker 1: go inside specially pass rush situations. So I didn't just 109 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:14,159 Speaker 1: keep hammering away your level with with Julian. Now he 110 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 1: takes on a even a different role in terms of means. 111 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:22,719 Speaker 1: I'm just I don't even hesitate, very comfortable, comfortable with Chilia. 112 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,159 Speaker 1: I've been since day one with both those safeties, and 113 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 1: they're both bright young players that we're gonna have great careers. 114 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 1: So I'm excited for Julians to have this opportunity. Um, 115 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 1: he's he does a great job communicating on the back end, 116 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:42,480 Speaker 1: and and I'm glad we have him
