1 00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:05,440 Speaker 1: Oh, how you doing today? All right, Glen, It looked 2 00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:07,280 Speaker 1: like it was a home game down here in Washington. 3 00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:10,120 Speaker 1: Felt like, yeah, we had a lot of left fans 4 00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:13,640 Speaker 1: down there, all on our side there they were. Yeah, 5 00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:16,319 Speaker 1: we felt it, definitely felt it. All right. So the 6 00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:19,680 Speaker 1: first half you have offensive struggles, You throw the ball 7 00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:22,680 Speaker 1: thirty one times, you fast paced, and you run a 8 00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:24,880 Speaker 1: lot of plays, and yet you had trouble running the 9 00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:27,920 Speaker 1: ball and had trouble scoring. Second half totally different story. 10 00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:35,919 Speaker 1: What changed, Yeah, yeah, well that's uh, obviously, we we 11 00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:39,080 Speaker 1: feel like we did a better job and we missed 12 00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:42,199 Speaker 1: some opportunities that we could have just done things a 13 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:44,160 Speaker 1: little bit better. I think we would have different results 14 00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:47,600 Speaker 1: in the first half. But they were a good defense. Um, 15 00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:49,360 Speaker 1: they have a good front, they're heard of block, so 16 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:53,320 Speaker 1: you know, they made some plays and second half we 17 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 1: we hit a couple. Yeah. So, because it's a lot's 18 00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 1: been made of the you know, halftime adjustments, and you 19 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,360 Speaker 1: know it's kind of overrated because why woult you just 20 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:03,160 Speaker 1: make those adjustments on the sideline? Why would you wait 21 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 1: till halftime? But it seemed but it seemed like there 22 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:11,200 Speaker 1: there was more of a significant change in the second half. 23 00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:12,680 Speaker 1: I don't know if if you saw the same way, 24 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:14,480 Speaker 1: did you guys see something that they were doing that 25 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:16,319 Speaker 1: maybe you added. I saw a couple of plays with 26 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:21,960 Speaker 1: the tight ends that really worked, especially with um Sony Michelle. Um. Yeah, well, 27 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 1: as you know, Christian, you have a little more time 28 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,399 Speaker 1: at halftime, and you know we're certainly making adjustments in 29 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,959 Speaker 1: the first quarter. In the second quarter, We're not gonna 30 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,399 Speaker 1: wait till halftime, but sometimes you have a little more 31 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:37,480 Speaker 1: time to get organized and um, make sure you covered 32 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 1: a little more thoroughly there. But look, it's the National 33 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,320 Speaker 1: Football League. You gotta be able to make adjustments after 34 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 1: the end of a series. You can't wait a half 35 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 1: do something. So you know, our execution needs to be better. 36 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 1: And um, again, they were good defense. They made some plays, 37 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 1: and you know we were able to make more in 38 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 1: the second half. So I gotta ask you, before this 39 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,880 Speaker 1: game even started, seemed like the time out. Was that 40 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 1: miscommunication with the too many guys in the field? You 41 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 1: call a time out before one play? Yeah, just too 42 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,919 Speaker 1: many men? Is that frustrating? I would imagine it's a 43 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 1: mistake starting all week and the very first play you 44 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 1: got too many guys out there. I imagine that one 45 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 1: go over, So well, yeah, I gotta do a better job. 46 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 1: Is that on you or is that more of a 47 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 1: defensive personnel coordinator calling plays or yeah, no, that's my fault. 48 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 1: I do a better job. Quickest time out in the 49 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 1: history of the National Football League, right, Unfortunately, I think 50 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 1: it's happened before. But did you have to run? Did 51 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 1: you run a lap today? A tight ends were involved 52 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 1: in your passing game yesterday? Was that by design? Was 53 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 1: that a game plan against Washington or was it what 54 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 1: they showed during the course of the game. Those guys 55 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:56,080 Speaker 1: were the ones that were open. Yeah, that's always the 56 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 1: way it is kind to unless you call a screen pass, 57 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:02,080 Speaker 1: that's just don't know. I mean, if we knew that 58 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 1: Ryan Zzo is going to be standing in the end 59 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,680 Speaker 1: zone wide open, could fair catch the ball going you 60 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:11,240 Speaker 1: don't know that. You never know that. So sometimes plays 61 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 1: unfold that way and that's who it went to. But 62 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 1: you don't call that play and say Ryan go down 63 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 1: there and standing the end zone and we'll just punt 64 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:21,520 Speaker 1: it down to you because nobody will be within twenty 65 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,240 Speaker 1: yards of you. That's just not the way it works. 66 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 1: So Tom does a great job of reading coverage is 67 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 1: getting ball. The open guy did a great job job 68 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 1: of that yesterday. We had some yards made, some yards 69 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 1: after the catch, um um. And you know when it's 70 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 1: man of man coverage and Tomsy's matchups that he likes, 71 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 1: like James White or Julian Um and that's that's where 72 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 1: it happens to go on that route, then great. But 73 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 1: that's that's not always the case, and it just our 74 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 1: passing game depends on what play we have on and 75 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 1: what coverage they're in, and then if they're matchups across 76 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 1: the board, then tom takes the best matchup. That's the 77 00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 1: best way I can put it. Speaking of tight ends, 78 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 1: I know last week we talked about exemption list, but 79 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 1: Ben Watson say, you guys released him. Um, I'm just 80 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 1: curious what went into that decision. I just don't have 81 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 1: a roster spot. Was it the football player itself? Because 82 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 1: a lot of people speculate we've talked about you know 83 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,720 Speaker 1: that the money that you could actually save as well 84 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 1: for the cap hit. Yeah, well, lou we only have 85 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 1: so many roster spots, so if we put somebody on, 86 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,039 Speaker 1: we have to take somebody off. Right now, there wasn't 87 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:29,040 Speaker 1: a roster spot Was it because of did he look 88 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,160 Speaker 1: different when he came back? Was he? Um? No, not 89 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 1: going to just you know, we didn't feel like there 90 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 1: was somebody that we could create a roster spot with. 91 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:44,359 Speaker 1: Everybody came out of the game healthy or have a 92 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:49,359 Speaker 1: decent team. So I like, that's where we're at. I 93 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 1: was gonna say that's I mean, I'm sure that was 94 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,039 Speaker 1: a I mean, I guess a tough conversation with Ben 95 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 1: Obviously it always is. Sure. Yeah, So you got three 96 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,600 Speaker 1: weeks before the trading to line. What happens now? What 97 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 1: are you guys doing now? Are you watching what you 98 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 1: think might happen? Are you having communications with other teams? 99 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,360 Speaker 1: And how does that change over the three weeks? And 100 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,720 Speaker 1: as you get closer to that deadline, each side has 101 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 1: got urgency to get something done. Yeah, I mean right 102 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 1: now we're getting ready for the Giants. Weren't a short 103 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 1: week and so that's that's really what our focus is, 104 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 1: um Nick Cassario and personnel people that are constantly evaluating 105 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,920 Speaker 1: players throughout the league. Um, there are guys on the 106 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:37,719 Speaker 1: waiver wire every day they get released or workout, you know, 107 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:42,119 Speaker 1: workouts and releases and so forth, based on the roster 108 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 1: fluctuation throughout the league. So that's that's a daily occurrence. Trades, 109 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 1: it's there that's unpredictable. Each situation that's different who calls 110 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,280 Speaker 1: who and who's available and what it is and all that. 111 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:58,040 Speaker 1: Just it's a very individual, case by case situation. Sometimes 112 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 1: those happened to day for the trade deadline. Sometimes there 113 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,719 Speaker 1: are weeks before the deadline. It's just no, there's no 114 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 1: way to know that. So you guys, um lost Kaskowski 115 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,280 Speaker 1: last week, you have a bunch of kickers in the 116 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 1: try out, you end up signed Michael Nugent. Nuge I 117 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 1: guess as Chatham calls him, because I don't know if 118 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 1: you knew, but Chatham saved his life one day. He 119 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,840 Speaker 1: was choking and Chatham to the rescue save that life. 120 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 1: M So how do you so, how do you think 121 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 1: he did? So? Uh? Well, again, it's a full operation here, 122 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 1: first time that those three guys have really worked together. 123 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 1: So I think timing is certainly a part of that. 124 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 1: Um might had a couple of good balls and just 125 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:43,160 Speaker 1: a couple of the you know, the operation could have 126 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 1: been better. Part of its him, part of it's you know, 127 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,480 Speaker 1: guys not working together very much. I've never seen a kicker. 128 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 1: I've never seen more people chart a kickers kicks during 129 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:57,159 Speaker 1: preseason than they did with Nugent. You know, whether what 130 00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 1: he made from what distance, you know, if you you 131 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 1: know it was their wind. Just a lot of people 132 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,480 Speaker 1: just you know, I guess invested in his success and 133 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,240 Speaker 1: he misses. The first extra point was that did you 134 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 1: have to say anything to him or just how does 135 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 1: that work to you? Just stay out of his way? Well, 136 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 1: Christian Ellly, reason you didn't notice it any other time 137 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 1: was because you must not have been paying attention when 138 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 1: Dotskowski came here. I don't think it was because after Vinytary, 139 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 1: I didn't say you were here. But you can look 140 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 1: at any every single day the morning of in the 141 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 1: paper was whatever Steve kicked the day before Hashmart, they 142 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 1: were from how many made? No, I'm talking about before 143 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 1: the game started. I'm telling you every kick that's Steve kicked, 144 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 1: even even in pregame talking about training camp, okay, good 145 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:54,239 Speaker 1: about pregame training about pregame, preamp, pregame training camp, every 146 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 1: kick he kicked was charted as the replacement for Vinytary. 147 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 1: So yeah, we've I mean, that's pretty common. You bring 148 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 1: in a new kicker and you know that's what it's 149 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 1: gonna be. I mean, especially a guy and both of 150 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 1: those guys, uh, Guskowski and Minitary before it's been so successful, right, 151 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 1: so you're looking at it, say, how do you live 152 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 1: up to that? Yeah? So, but I mean nobody's charted 153 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 1: Stephen well, but believe me, Steve was every kick he 154 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 1: was charted, even the ones day kicked off the little 155 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 1: arm sole the ball at what is the name of that? 156 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:40,560 Speaker 1: What do you call about alarming? So you guys said, 157 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 1: Bailey do the kickoff seven boomed seven touchbacks? Um, one 158 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 1: thing you had with Steven, I don't strategy wise, guys 159 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 1: used to drop it right at that gold line. Is 160 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 1: you know week one with this guy, Bailey just boomed 161 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 1: that thing out of the end zone. Is that something 162 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,439 Speaker 1: that he can work on. You can see if he 163 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 1: can do what Steven used to do over time? Yeah? What, uh, 164 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 1: I think pret talented guy. So I'm sure there's a 165 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 1: lot of things that he can do. Yeah, first time 166 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,840 Speaker 1: he kicked off, well, he kicked off in preseason, but yeah, 167 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,360 Speaker 1: for yesterday, that's he was just kicking the ball and 168 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,079 Speaker 1: he hit it well. The last one not as well, 169 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,720 Speaker 1: but it hit and went through so it turned into 170 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,839 Speaker 1: a touchback. But yeah, he hit the ball, but he 171 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,319 Speaker 1: hit a well in preseason. Could eat two different things. 172 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,679 Speaker 1: I'm sure he can. So you get a quick turnaround. 173 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:29,440 Speaker 1: This is a team that you played in the preseason. 174 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:31,720 Speaker 1: That makes a difference. I mean, is that a factor? 175 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,959 Speaker 1: Not much? Okay, So you look at this team and 176 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,959 Speaker 1: they have a rookie quarterback who's been pretty good so 177 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 1: far to this point, they've got some injuries in the backfield. 178 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,959 Speaker 1: How difficult is it with a quick turnaround in getting 179 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 1: anybody up to speed? And do you simplify stuff as 180 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 1: opposed to what you would normally do with a full 181 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 1: week in a game plan? Yeah, definitely. I think that 182 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:59,680 Speaker 1: there's a certainly a level of cutting things back. First 183 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:01,679 Speaker 1: of all, just don't have an opportunity to practice them. 184 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,720 Speaker 1: And um, it's not like we're playing a division team 185 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 1: here where we have a lot of familiarity with them. Um, yeah, 186 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 1: we know the Giants, but not we really haven't played 187 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 1: them in four years. So it's uh, as you said, 188 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 1: new quarterback, obviously great running back. Um, you know, preseason's preseason, 189 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 1: but this is a whole different. It's all different preparation 190 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 1: ball games. So, um yeah, we'll have to try to 191 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:28,680 Speaker 1: figure out what we can get done. Um. Practice, and again, 192 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:32,200 Speaker 1: the Giants are a good, very good game plan team. 193 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 1: They on all three in all three phases. They're well coached. 194 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,200 Speaker 1: They they're good in the kicking game. They're very good 195 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 1: in kicking game. UM. Put a lot of pressure on 196 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,960 Speaker 1: your defensively their blitz packages and offensively, you know, coach 197 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 1: Shermant does a great job of putting his guys in 198 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 1: advantageous positions and create problems for the defense. So, UM yeah, 199 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 1: I don't think you want to try to do everything here. 200 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,319 Speaker 1: Try to make sure that we're we know what we're doing, 201 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 1: and go and play aggressively and not making big mistakes 202 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:02,200 Speaker 1: and you know, beat ourselves. So you guys had Daniel 203 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:06,360 Speaker 1: Jones in UM pre draft interview, right, Um, I heard 204 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,120 Speaker 1: you said that. You said he was like a real 205 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:13,960 Speaker 1: impressive kid paraphrasing what was impressive about him? Oh, he's smart, 206 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,479 Speaker 1: he's got a good football background, um, and he understands 207 00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 1: a lot about the passing game, a lot about coverages. Personally, 208 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,360 Speaker 1: he's just an impressive kid and smart. He's got a 209 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:26,920 Speaker 1: good head on his shoulders mature when you when you 210 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 1: have a guy like that, do you guys test him 211 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 1: and put them up and haven't draw coverages? Do you 212 00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 1: guys watch film? Is that how you identify? Because there's 213 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,559 Speaker 1: college smart and you know, which I think is a 214 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,840 Speaker 1: big difference in the pro and defenses. Do you guys 215 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:41,959 Speaker 1: do that with him and to recognize how smart he 216 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 1: really is? Yeah? Of course, Okay, I know that, but 217 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,200 Speaker 1: I'm not sure if other people know that, they don't 218 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 1: know what a pre draft? Do you remember sitting down 219 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:54,079 Speaker 1: with me? Yeah? We get out, you know, we took 220 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 1: out and take him out to dinner? Why bind him? Yeah, 221 00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 1: take him around the town, head into probably important. Wait, college, 222 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,319 Speaker 1: But do you remember do you remember stand on the 223 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:11,439 Speaker 1: state House? Do you came to Davios right, say order 224 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,640 Speaker 1: the steak? Yeah? I meet and I'm miss Massachusetts and 225 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,840 Speaker 1: all that. Yeah.

It's a long time ago. I'm sure 230 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,839 Speaker 1: he knows. We talked to Colorado, We talked and we 231 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 1: also talked in San Francisco the Shrine game. Yeah, that's right, 232 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:40,439 Speaker 1: that's right, yep, yep. But Colorado, who all was in 233 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 1: your class? You had a great class. Oh wait, Cordell Westbrook, Um, 234 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 1: a ton of guys, Ted Johnson, yea, who is the 235 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 1: offensive lineman? Uh, Tony Birdie. Yeah that's right, Chris Naola. 236 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 1: We had a lot of it. We were good back then. 237 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:57,400 Speaker 1: Outside linebackers too, right, Yes, I can't remember their name though, 238 00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:01,280 Speaker 1: alf Alfred Williams names. Yeah, I mean, do you notice 239 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 1: he remembers the players better than you remember down we 240 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:07,319 Speaker 1: were very death. You had a big you had a 241 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,440 Speaker 1: big class. Yeah, I don't know, ten guys draft, eight 242 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:15,240 Speaker 1: guys draft or whatever it was, and yeahs an impressive group. Yeah. 243 00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 1: So I never got to do the whole you know, 244 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 1: miss Massachusetts and you were in Cleveland at the time, 245 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:24,480 Speaker 1: so yeah, you would have loved Yeah, a recruit extra 246 00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 1: hard Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Yeah, you check 247 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 1: them out there. That was really a lot before the 248 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,559 Speaker 1: visits though, it was more of the coaches going to 249 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:40,960 Speaker 1: the players. Now it's the those thirty visits. That's um, yeah, 250 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 1: that's you know, you I don't know, I don't say 251 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 1: you seemore guys, but it seems like you Seymour guys 252 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,120 Speaker 1: in the in the facility, you know, in your hometown. Yeah, 253 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 1: so I want to ask you about the defense. You 254 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 1: constantly and they're getting a lot of attention as they 255 00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 1: should be getting attention right now. Though some people are 256 00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,439 Speaker 1: looking who they played against it and I get that, 257 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 1: But you've got a lot of playmakers on that defensive 258 00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:04,680 Speaker 1: side of the ball. Personnel is tremendous. Yet you always 259 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:08,520 Speaker 1: talk about collectively working as a unit and everybody doing 260 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,679 Speaker 1: their job. How difficult is that when you do have 261 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,000 Speaker 1: so many great playmakers out there to keep them in 262 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 1: their lanes having them do what you need them to do. Yeah, 263 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:21,240 Speaker 1: this is really a good group to work with. Lynn. 264 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:25,720 Speaker 1: They're very very smart. They communicate well, and they a 265 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,600 Speaker 1: lot of times they will make calls and make adjustments 266 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,360 Speaker 1: so that their teammate and make a play. Um, you know, 267 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:34,440 Speaker 1: they'll they'll check out of something that is more advantageous 268 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 1: to one of their teammates than that maybe it will 269 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:39,200 Speaker 1: be for them, you know, where they cover and let 270 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 1: somebody else rush or whatever happens to be. So, Um, 271 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,680 Speaker 1: they're they have a very good understanding. We've played a 272 00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:49,240 Speaker 1: number of guys, so the different combinations there, and they 273 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 1: communicate well with each other. It's a smart, instinctive group. 274 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 1: Guys see things, they alert each other to what they 275 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,000 Speaker 1: see and so forth, so they're playing well together. They 276 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,440 Speaker 1: seem so pissed on that Simms sixty if you're a 277 00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:03,400 Speaker 1: run because they lost contain and then they didn't tackle 278 00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:05,640 Speaker 1: properly and it almost looked like they were standing around 279 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:07,920 Speaker 1: waiting for somebody else to make a tackle. And it's 280 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,720 Speaker 1: so different than anything we've seen from this defense through 281 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:14,080 Speaker 1: the first five games. Always saw a little bit against score. 282 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:16,680 Speaker 1: It's a little bit of the same thing. Ye play. Yeah, 283 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 1: so uh hook these you know you got to tackle 284 00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:23,800 Speaker 1: these backs and run run backs and receivers and tight 285 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,360 Speaker 1: ends in this league and you know it just doesn't 286 00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 1: take much. You miss a tackle and make a bad 287 00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:30,240 Speaker 1: play and give up a gap or a lane and 288 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:34,040 Speaker 1: they can kill you. So, um, you know, we got 289 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:35,480 Speaker 1: to do a better job, coach. And they hit us 290 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 1: on as a kind of a counterplay there that we 291 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,400 Speaker 1: hadn't worked on and so we could coach a better 292 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,280 Speaker 1: We could have played it better. Um, but you know 293 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 1: I thought that the group showed a lot of resiliency 294 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:49,520 Speaker 1: after that play. We really I thought, you know, showed 295 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,640 Speaker 1: some determination and and uh you know played maybe a 296 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:56,240 Speaker 1: little a little higher level of concentration and intensity, and 297 00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:58,280 Speaker 1: so that was good. Fifteen yards. I think in the 298 00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 1: next three or fourth series that combined incincredible. And you 299 00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,760 Speaker 1: guys have so much depth on that defense. It's our 300 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 1: you know, rotating guys in and out. We were talking 301 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:10,840 Speaker 1: before Michael Bennett, is I think snap count has gone 302 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:12,720 Speaker 1: down each and every week to the point it was 303 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:16,320 Speaker 1: like twenty five percent last week. Is that just Butler 304 00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 1: playing at a different level or is that scheme wise 305 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:22,600 Speaker 1: or why the decreased role in Michael Bennett. Yeah, Well, 306 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 1: everybody's playing, so like anybody's keeping track plays out there. 307 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:29,080 Speaker 1: We're just trying to you know, rotate people through and 308 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:33,480 Speaker 1: play certain matchups, certain groups against other certain groups, but 309 00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:39,080 Speaker 1: game situations sometimes trumped out, so um, you know, we'll 310 00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:43,160 Speaker 1: just do what he thinks best each week. Guys. Good, 311 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,280 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you're ready. Can I get a drum roll 312 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 1: for this? No big moment. It is gonna make sure 313 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,440 Speaker 1: I don't flub it. I So this is hera knock 314 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:55,800 Speaker 1: on what if you're with me, alright, uh all right, coach, 315 00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:01,120 Speaker 1: what's your drive of the week? Try of the week? Well, 316 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 1: I think the you know, the touchdown drive and the 317 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:06,879 Speaker 1: start of the third quarter was good where he hit 318 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 1: bolting down the sideline. That was what was at that 319 00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:14,200 Speaker 1: point in like twelve six or something like that. Seven 320 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:18,600 Speaker 1: And that was a good uh yeah touchdown. Madd a 321 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:20,280 Speaker 1: two score game and you know we get us a 322 00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,400 Speaker 1: little amount him. They're starting the second half after week, 323 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:24,119 Speaker 1: you know, came out and received the kickoff, so it 324 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,959 Speaker 1: was a good, um, good swing for us there. They 325 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,080 Speaker 1: start the half that way. So I like that drive. Yeah, 326 00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,800 Speaker 1: all right, seven play seventy five. Yeah. I just Bold 327 00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:36,399 Speaker 1: is just such a reliable guy. It just I mean, 328 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,760 Speaker 1: he's always always making plays.
