WEBVTT - Press Pass: Frank Reich

0:00:00.400 --> 0:00:13.160
<v Speaker 1>Yea, Sir h. Carson had done a pretty good job

0:00:13.200 --> 0:00:15.640
<v Speaker 1>of protecting himself in the last game. I know their

0:00:15.680 --> 0:00:20.000
<v Speaker 1>only few instances, but is that indicative of what you've

0:00:20.079 --> 0:00:22.880
<v Speaker 1>seen in practice and what you thought would happen after

0:00:22.920 --> 0:00:25.000
<v Speaker 1>the first two games. Yeah, I think he you know,

0:00:25.040 --> 0:00:27.120
<v Speaker 1>I think he did a good job of protecting himself

0:00:27.200 --> 0:00:30.320
<v Speaker 1>last week. And you know, as we've said before, very important.

0:00:30.680 --> 0:00:33.440
<v Speaker 1>It's a good step. But that's one of those you've

0:00:33.440 --> 0:00:35.520
<v Speaker 1>got to be right on those decisions one hundred percent

0:00:35.520 --> 0:00:38.480
<v Speaker 1>of the time. I mean, being right on eight out

0:00:38.479 --> 0:00:40.080
<v Speaker 1>of ten of those isn't good enough. You got to

0:00:40.120 --> 0:00:43.320
<v Speaker 1>be right all the time. So hopefully we'll keep going

0:00:43.360 --> 0:00:52.360
<v Speaker 1>down that road and hopefully always need a you know,

0:00:52.400 --> 0:00:55.639
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I think he's a Alan's an excellent pass protector,

0:00:55.760 --> 0:00:59.480
<v Speaker 1>so um, I think that's his major strength, UM, and

0:00:59.560 --> 0:01:03.760
<v Speaker 1>so he can do he can excel anywhere on the

0:01:03.800 --> 0:01:06.040
<v Speaker 1>offensive line at that position. You know, I think a

0:01:06.080 --> 0:01:08.120
<v Speaker 1>lot of it is a combination blocks and stuff like

0:01:08.160 --> 0:01:10.920
<v Speaker 1>that that naturally, when you're playing one spot more the

0:01:11.000 --> 0:01:12.880
<v Speaker 1>left side, you know, working with the tackle in the

0:01:12.920 --> 0:01:15.160
<v Speaker 1>center more as opposed to being out there at the

0:01:15.360 --> 0:01:17.360
<v Speaker 1>at the right tackle spot, there's a little bit of

0:01:17.360 --> 0:01:20.120
<v Speaker 1>a different but um, we expect that he can play

0:01:20.120 --> 0:01:23.480
<v Speaker 1>winning football at any five or any four of those positions. Right,

0:01:23.520 --> 0:01:26.040
<v Speaker 1>But you're playing wells and everything seems to be going

0:01:26.080 --> 0:01:28.720
<v Speaker 1>in sync. Is it difficult to get back that certain

0:01:28.760 --> 0:01:32.360
<v Speaker 1>rhythm when you've taken a long break for Avie, I mean,

0:01:32.520 --> 0:01:34.520
<v Speaker 1>it can be, but I think coach, you know, set

0:01:34.560 --> 0:01:36.360
<v Speaker 1>the schedule up right, so you got to buy and

0:01:36.640 --> 0:01:38.160
<v Speaker 1>we kind of got back in here and got after

0:01:38.200 --> 0:01:40.280
<v Speaker 1>it a little bit on Monday, kind of got a

0:01:40.319 --> 0:01:42.800
<v Speaker 1>little bit of rhythm and tempo going on Monday, met

0:01:42.840 --> 0:01:44.240
<v Speaker 1>with the players a little bit, a little bit of

0:01:44.240 --> 0:01:48.280
<v Speaker 1>an introduction, and that's that's intentional because there is a

0:01:48.280 --> 0:01:51.200
<v Speaker 1>little bit of a lag, so you kind of get

0:01:51.200 --> 0:01:53.120
<v Speaker 1>that out of your system on Monday so that when

0:01:53.120 --> 0:01:56.000
<v Speaker 1>you come back Wednesday, you're you're back in your normal routine.

0:01:56.520 --> 0:01:59.840
<v Speaker 1>Progress of the house coming along very well. I mean,

0:02:00.240 --> 0:02:02.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, what we saw with the big V was

0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:05.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, on his college tape, but just one of

0:02:05.200 --> 0:02:06.840
<v Speaker 1>the things that jumped out was how good of a

0:02:06.880 --> 0:02:10.320
<v Speaker 1>pass protector. He really is unnatural he is at that.

0:02:11.800 --> 0:02:14.560
<v Speaker 1>And then really, to me, what the big improvements that

0:02:14.600 --> 0:02:17.280
<v Speaker 1>I've seen is in the run game. You know, a physicality,

0:02:17.360 --> 0:02:21.760
<v Speaker 1>a toughness, and aggressiveness. He's a very natural pass setting

0:02:21.919 --> 0:02:25.600
<v Speaker 1>pass set or got great fundamentals and technique and pass protection.

0:02:25.919 --> 0:02:27.760
<v Speaker 1>But where you've seen the improvement has been in the

0:02:27.840 --> 0:02:31.480
<v Speaker 1>run game him as a possibility at right tackles should

0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:35.240
<v Speaker 1>should they not be available? How do you how are

0:02:35.280 --> 0:02:38.000
<v Speaker 1>you able to judge, just in a practice setting, whether

0:02:38.040 --> 0:02:40.880
<v Speaker 1>he be able to successfully fill in in such a

0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:43.720
<v Speaker 1>critical spot. Yeah, I mean that's fair, fair, But I

0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:46.440
<v Speaker 1>think one of the answers to that is, you know,

0:02:46.560 --> 0:02:49.600
<v Speaker 1>he's running Scout team all the time, right, so he's

0:02:49.639 --> 0:02:52.440
<v Speaker 1>getting a lot of reps versus a very good defense

0:02:52.440 --> 0:02:56.200
<v Speaker 1>and versus very good defensive line. So um, and when

0:02:56.240 --> 0:02:58.720
<v Speaker 1>when we're running scout team, I mean we're paying attention

0:02:58.720 --> 0:03:01.240
<v Speaker 1>to that, I mean Stout and Eugene or paying attention

0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:04.040
<v Speaker 1>and watching v and coaching him go against our first

0:03:04.080 --> 0:03:07.520
<v Speaker 1>team defensive line. That certainly gives you indicators because when

0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:10.720
<v Speaker 1>you're running scout team, the defense is going full speed,

0:03:10.760 --> 0:03:13.240
<v Speaker 1>they're going hard. So it's really a good measure. That's

0:03:13.240 --> 0:03:15.120
<v Speaker 1>why we push our guys, those guys who are running

0:03:15.120 --> 0:03:17.440
<v Speaker 1>Scout team. Is a good opportunity for them as well,

0:03:19.720 --> 0:03:21.840
<v Speaker 1>it's just been gradual, you know. I mean I started

0:03:21.840 --> 0:03:23.440
<v Speaker 1>to see it in preseason and be honest, with a

0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:26.760
<v Speaker 1>couple of preseason games. As the preseason games went on, Um,

0:03:26.880 --> 0:03:29.880
<v Speaker 1>you could see him getting better and better. Um, and

0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:33.560
<v Speaker 1>again it's what we expected. But you could definitely see

0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:36.200
<v Speaker 1>the progression go as each preseason game. When when we're

0:03:36.200 --> 0:03:39.200
<v Speaker 1>going to get more reps? Sorry, Doug mentioned yesterday that

0:03:39.240 --> 0:03:42.720
<v Speaker 1>he'd like to see Doroyla Green Beckham get more reps

0:03:42.760 --> 0:03:45.080
<v Speaker 1>in the games. What have you seen from them? And uh,

0:03:45.680 --> 0:03:49.200
<v Speaker 1>anticipate using him in different in different spots other than thought, Yeah,

0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:51.720
<v Speaker 1>his package, you know, the way coaches set it up,

0:03:51.760 --> 0:03:55.040
<v Speaker 1>his package has continued to grow. Um, it doesn't always

0:03:55.080 --> 0:03:59.160
<v Speaker 1>translate into catches right away because sometimes they play you know,

0:03:59.200 --> 0:04:02.680
<v Speaker 1>you set something up and against the coverage, the main

0:04:02.760 --> 0:04:04.840
<v Speaker 1>coverage that you're expecting, and then you get a little

0:04:04.880 --> 0:04:08.240
<v Speaker 1>something different and so the ball goes somewhere else. So UM,

0:04:08.440 --> 0:04:10.640
<v Speaker 1>but I think what you would see is over the

0:04:10.680 --> 0:04:14.360
<v Speaker 1>course of time, as that continues to build and and

0:04:14.440 --> 0:04:17.640
<v Speaker 1>you're really trying to target, hit on target, DGB on

0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:19.839
<v Speaker 1>some things, I think that will just continue to show up.

0:04:19.880 --> 0:04:21.120
<v Speaker 1>He's done a great job. I give him a lot

0:04:21.120 --> 0:04:24.320
<v Speaker 1>of credit. I really like our receiver very unselfish. You know,

0:04:24.320 --> 0:04:26.080
<v Speaker 1>when a guy's not getting the ball, you just don't

0:04:26.120 --> 0:04:28.840
<v Speaker 1>hear a lot of you know, noise. Um, they're very

0:04:28.920 --> 0:04:32.719
<v Speaker 1>unselfish group, and that's that's fun to work with. Does

0:04:32.800 --> 0:04:36.719
<v Speaker 1>your three head in set present to defenses? Well, you know,

0:04:36.760 --> 0:04:38.800
<v Speaker 1>you got three guys who can block the point of attack,

0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:41.960
<v Speaker 1>but yet they're also very good route runners and they're

0:04:42.279 --> 0:04:44.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, big bodies who present you know, match You know,

0:04:44.960 --> 0:04:47.480
<v Speaker 1>it's a different kind of a matchup dilemma for defenses.

0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:49.960
<v Speaker 1>If you're playing a man coverage orin his own coverage,

0:04:50.720 --> 0:04:54.120
<v Speaker 1>you got the big body. Um So, but yet you know,

0:04:54.240 --> 0:04:57.800
<v Speaker 1>Trey and Zach are almost like receivers. But yet they're

0:04:57.800 --> 0:04:59.880
<v Speaker 1>physical enough and good enough blockers that you can get

0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:02.920
<v Speaker 1>lot of stuff done in the run game. And so, um,

0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:06.479
<v Speaker 1>you know that that's a that's a good thing. Brian

0:05:06.560 --> 0:05:09.359
<v Speaker 1>Matthews is still kind of been bothered on by the

0:05:09.360 --> 0:05:11.839
<v Speaker 1>ankles since you know, before training camps started. Does that

0:05:11.960 --> 0:05:14.320
<v Speaker 1>make like the rotation and running back gave you more

0:05:14.320 --> 0:05:17.400
<v Speaker 1>important for he does going forward? Yeah? I mean, and

0:05:17.480 --> 0:05:20.400
<v Speaker 1>those guys have again, those guys have done a good job,

0:05:20.440 --> 0:05:24.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, Duce rotating them in there and uh again, unselfishness.

0:05:25.440 --> 0:05:27.000
<v Speaker 1>You know, every one of those guys, every one of

0:05:27.000 --> 0:05:29.120
<v Speaker 1>those backs, every one of those receivers, they want they

0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:31.159
<v Speaker 1>want the ball every time, you know what you want

0:05:31.160 --> 0:05:33.520
<v Speaker 1>to But you got to give those guys credit. They've

0:05:33.520 --> 0:05:37.320
<v Speaker 1>been unselfish and uh, you know, it's good that we're

0:05:37.400 --> 0:05:39.520
<v Speaker 1>rotating guys through. And I think it affords a guy

0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:41.880
<v Speaker 1>like Ryan if if the ankles bother them a little bit,

0:05:41.920 --> 0:05:45.719
<v Speaker 1>where it can get to full strength, full autonomy with

0:05:45.760 --> 0:05:49.039
<v Speaker 1>that not full you know, Doug has Doug is you know,

0:05:49.080 --> 0:05:50.760
<v Speaker 1>he'll kind of take it to Doug. Hey, here's what

0:05:50.800 --> 0:05:53.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm thinking this week. You know, Um, here's the rotation

0:05:53.560 --> 0:05:55.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm thinking of, and then kind of Doug will put

0:05:56.000 --> 0:05:59.000
<v Speaker 1>his stamp on that and then but their Doug deuce

0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:01.120
<v Speaker 1>does have a lot about autonomy within the game to

0:06:01.240 --> 0:06:05.359
<v Speaker 1>rotate it as he sees fit. Your forty third down situations, Frank,

0:06:05.680 --> 0:06:08.320
<v Speaker 1>have been three yards or less. Obviously, it hasn't been

0:06:08.360 --> 0:06:10.599
<v Speaker 1>a big problem in the first three games, but that's

0:06:10.600 --> 0:06:13.559
<v Speaker 1>something that concerns you're going forward as far as needing

0:06:13.600 --> 0:06:16.080
<v Speaker 1>to get in more third and shorts. Yeah, you know,

0:06:16.120 --> 0:06:18.400
<v Speaker 1>it's good that we've you know, our third down stats

0:06:18.440 --> 0:06:21.200
<v Speaker 1>haven't been good, but we're we've won. We've still won

0:06:21.240 --> 0:06:23.800
<v Speaker 1>the game. So anytime you can kind of get by

0:06:24.000 --> 0:06:26.560
<v Speaker 1>and cover up an area of weakness and still play

0:06:26.640 --> 0:06:29.640
<v Speaker 1>winning football, UM, that's that's a good sign. Means you're

0:06:29.680 --> 0:06:31.520
<v Speaker 1>doing other things well to kind of cover up for that.

0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:35.320
<v Speaker 1>We're getting some chunk plays, um, you know, on first

0:06:35.360 --> 0:06:37.800
<v Speaker 1>and second down we're picking up. But but it's an

0:06:37.839 --> 0:06:39.880
<v Speaker 1>area that it kind of allows us a little time

0:06:39.880 --> 0:06:42.480
<v Speaker 1>to keep improving there. So and and like you said,

0:06:42.480 --> 0:06:44.560
<v Speaker 1>it's been we're just not in third and short very

0:06:44.640 --> 0:06:47.839
<v Speaker 1>much because of penalties, um, and because of you know,

0:06:47.880 --> 0:06:49.440
<v Speaker 1>some negative play. So we just got to do a

0:06:49.480 --> 0:06:52.120
<v Speaker 1>better job of being disciplined. You know. To me, discipline

0:06:52.200 --> 0:06:53.920
<v Speaker 1>is the big thing with penalty. Some of the calls

0:06:53.920 --> 0:06:57.640
<v Speaker 1>are maybe not great call, you know, maybe not true penalties,

0:06:57.640 --> 0:06:59.960
<v Speaker 1>but you got to live with that, um. And then

0:07:00.000 --> 0:07:01.240
<v Speaker 1>you got to do a good job if you get

0:07:01.240 --> 0:07:03.760
<v Speaker 1>a second along, you got to be efficient on second along,

0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:05.839
<v Speaker 1>whether it's a run or a pass, you got to

0:07:05.839 --> 0:07:07.680
<v Speaker 1>get half of it back and try to get in

0:07:07.720 --> 0:07:10.680
<v Speaker 1>a third manageable. Those are the keys in general, been

0:07:10.760 --> 0:07:13.040
<v Speaker 1>as efficient as you like. I think it's been I

0:07:13.040 --> 0:07:15.840
<v Speaker 1>think it's been solid. You know, I feel it feels

0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:18.920
<v Speaker 1>like every week it's getting better and strong, you know,

0:07:18.960 --> 0:07:21.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it just it feels like it's going well.

0:07:21.640 --> 0:07:24.600
<v Speaker 1>I like, I like the progression of where we're going.

0:07:25.920 --> 0:07:28.960
<v Speaker 1>Potentially Carson design Quebeck forwards is to see him goes

0:07:28.960 --> 0:07:32.520
<v Speaker 1>along with feelings too much they did. Um, you know,

0:07:32.560 --> 0:07:34.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I think you got a guy like Carson

0:07:34.200 --> 0:07:39.160
<v Speaker 1>who's a dynamic athlete, and the threat of him running

0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:42.880
<v Speaker 1>is as much a weapon for us as anything else.

0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:46.120
<v Speaker 1>And so, um, you know now that you kind of

0:07:46.160 --> 0:07:48.320
<v Speaker 1>feel now that he's kind of over that preseason thing

0:07:48.360 --> 0:07:50.960
<v Speaker 1>and you feel like he's hitting his strength. You know,

0:07:50.960 --> 0:07:54.560
<v Speaker 1>he's hitting his stride in a lot of ways. Um. Yeah,

0:07:54.560 --> 0:07:57.080
<v Speaker 1>those things, you know, could come into more play, but

0:07:57.120 --> 0:07:59.680
<v Speaker 1>it's the threat of those things is just as important

0:07:59.680 --> 0:08:02.760
<v Speaker 1>to us. And you just have to, like you said,

0:08:02.760 --> 0:08:05.440
<v Speaker 1>you have to balance it. You can't overuse it. He's

0:08:05.440 --> 0:08:08.000
<v Speaker 1>got to be smart when you do use it. And

0:08:08.360 --> 0:08:10.200
<v Speaker 1>but it is a good weapon to have. Do you

0:08:10.280 --> 0:08:12.800
<v Speaker 1>see Like on the sproles played, you see defenders coming

0:08:12.920 --> 0:08:16.080
<v Speaker 1>up because they know they have to absolutely, I mean,

0:08:16.280 --> 0:08:18.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, absolutely, And I Just think as time goes on,

0:08:19.360 --> 0:08:22.840
<v Speaker 1>he'll make more and more plays like that, and you know,

0:08:22.960 --> 0:08:25.120
<v Speaker 1>guys will start hanging back and he'll run in game ten,

0:08:25.200 --> 0:08:27.400
<v Speaker 1>or he'll running game seven, and you know we'll have

0:08:27.480 --> 0:08:30.200
<v Speaker 1>a we'll have kind some kind of read option on

0:08:30.280 --> 0:08:32.760
<v Speaker 1>where he runs and keeps it. Just when you have

0:08:32.800 --> 0:08:37.880
<v Speaker 1>a guy like that, um, it causes defensive problems. But

0:08:38.040 --> 0:08:40.400
<v Speaker 1>the main thing is is he's still our quarterback. So

0:08:40.720 --> 0:08:42.360
<v Speaker 1>for us to go where we want to go, he

0:08:42.440 --> 0:08:45.600
<v Speaker 1>has to be able to play winning football from the pocket,

0:08:45.679 --> 0:08:47.600
<v Speaker 1>to be able to make the decisions in the past game,

0:08:47.679 --> 0:08:51.439
<v Speaker 1>continue to be disciplined in his progressions, you know, uh,

0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:54.360
<v Speaker 1>and protecting the football like he's been doing. Um, and

0:08:54.400 --> 0:08:58.160
<v Speaker 1>then those things are an added bonus. I think daring

0:08:58.200 --> 0:09:02.600
<v Speaker 1>Sproles struggled. I don't know if he struggled, but there

0:09:02.600 --> 0:09:04.520
<v Speaker 1>are struggles to get him more involved in the offense

0:09:04.559 --> 0:09:06.280
<v Speaker 1>than he was early in this season. He's had success

0:09:06.280 --> 0:09:08.959
<v Speaker 1>so far earlier in this season. How do you a

0:09:09.000 --> 0:09:10.920
<v Speaker 1>guy like that, he's probably more of a specialty back,

0:09:10.960 --> 0:09:13.440
<v Speaker 1>how do you keep that from happening there? All right?

0:09:13.440 --> 0:09:15.079
<v Speaker 1>You know, I mean I can tell you right away

0:09:15.120 --> 0:09:17.040
<v Speaker 1>when coach, you know, when coach and I sit down

0:09:17.080 --> 0:09:19.080
<v Speaker 1>and the whole staff and we sit down and start

0:09:19.120 --> 0:09:22.000
<v Speaker 1>talking about the game plan. I mean, Darren is one

0:09:22.040 --> 0:09:23.600
<v Speaker 1>of the How are we going to get Darren the

0:09:23.600 --> 0:09:26.920
<v Speaker 1>ball this week? I mean, that's that's always very early

0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:29.839
<v Speaker 1>in the discussion. So when you got a guy like that,

0:09:29.840 --> 0:09:32.280
<v Speaker 1>that's what we want to do. He's that kind of player.

0:09:32.600 --> 0:09:35.040
<v Speaker 1>So we're going to design plays that are going to

0:09:35.080 --> 0:09:36.480
<v Speaker 1>go to him, and then we figure he's going to

0:09:36.520 --> 0:09:39.240
<v Speaker 1>get three or four in his normal rotation as well.

0:09:39.280 --> 0:09:42.199
<v Speaker 1>But um, you want to look for opportunities. He's a playmaker,

0:09:42.640 --> 0:09:46.480
<v Speaker 1>and uh yeah, we're thinking about that every week. It

0:09:46.480 --> 0:09:48.840
<v Speaker 1>looks like you'll have three healthy played ends this weekend.

0:09:49.280 --> 0:09:52.400
<v Speaker 1>How does that impact the offense? I mean, I think

0:09:52.400 --> 0:09:56.920
<v Speaker 1>it's it's great because they're good football players. You know

0:09:56.960 --> 0:10:01.000
<v Speaker 1>that that's the key where U and now you can

0:10:01.080 --> 0:10:04.240
<v Speaker 1>do things formationally. You know, you can do things formationally

0:10:04.240 --> 0:10:06.480
<v Speaker 1>with three tight ends that you know you can create

0:10:06.520 --> 0:10:09.000
<v Speaker 1>extra gaps, you know for certain things in the run game.

0:10:09.440 --> 0:10:12.240
<v Speaker 1>You know you can shift in motion guys, and you

0:10:12.240 --> 0:10:14.280
<v Speaker 1>know know and you can kind of get an idea

0:10:14.360 --> 0:10:16.800
<v Speaker 1>sometimes how a defense is going to adjust to a

0:10:16.840 --> 0:10:19.360
<v Speaker 1>shift in the motion or how you know, there's certain

0:10:19.360 --> 0:10:22.280
<v Speaker 1>formations that you get in and you can see tendencies

0:10:22.480 --> 0:10:25.320
<v Speaker 1>that sometimes defense out and just speaking in general terms now,

0:10:25.400 --> 0:10:29.480
<v Speaker 1>of course, but that's the advantage that a three tight

0:10:29.559 --> 0:10:33.480
<v Speaker 1>end package gives you in general. So our job as

0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:37.320
<v Speaker 1>coaches each week is to take those generalities about a

0:10:37.360 --> 0:10:40.200
<v Speaker 1>three tight end package and say, how does it work

0:10:40.200 --> 0:10:44.160
<v Speaker 1>against the Detroit line defense? You know specifically, And obviously

0:10:44.120 --> 0:10:46.240
<v Speaker 1>you can't lay that that out what that looks like,

0:10:46.320 --> 0:10:48.360
<v Speaker 1>but that's kind of what you do. You know, there's

0:10:48.360 --> 0:10:50.800
<v Speaker 1>certain things that for all teams a three tight end

0:10:50.840 --> 0:10:53.200
<v Speaker 1>package does. But now you've got to narrow it down

0:10:53.200 --> 0:10:55.840
<v Speaker 1>to see what their tendencies are on defense, see their fronts,

0:10:56.040 --> 0:10:59.200
<v Speaker 1>their coverages versus that kind of scheme, and then try

0:10:59.200 --> 0:11:01.680
<v Speaker 1>to find a little holes in it that you can

0:11:02.200 --> 0:11:04.960
<v Speaker 1>and try to accentuate that down to figure out how

0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:06.880
<v Speaker 1>how you're going to get Darren in the ball m

0:11:06.960 --> 0:11:09.800
<v Speaker 1>How does that whole process work? And is that enjoyable

0:11:09.840 --> 0:11:12.320
<v Speaker 1>or is it kind of like a burden to go

0:11:12.360 --> 0:11:14.040
<v Speaker 1>into a game? Blast? I mean, it's a blast, I

0:11:14.080 --> 0:11:17.680
<v Speaker 1>mean you know, um, you know, and it just starts,

0:11:17.800 --> 0:11:21.360
<v Speaker 1>it starts with um, it starts within our core offense.

0:11:21.520 --> 0:11:23.440
<v Speaker 1>You know, I mean, we want to take our court.

0:11:23.480 --> 0:11:25.920
<v Speaker 1>You know the system that Doug is brought here. Um,

0:11:26.400 --> 0:11:28.440
<v Speaker 1>you know he had a pretty good playmaker in Kansas City.

0:11:28.679 --> 0:11:30.360
<v Speaker 1>You know that he had to work with. So you

0:11:30.679 --> 0:11:33.600
<v Speaker 1>start how how did they use Jamal Charles in Kansas City?

0:11:33.800 --> 0:11:37.160
<v Speaker 1>You know, boom, let's start there because this is kind

0:11:37.200 --> 0:11:39.720
<v Speaker 1>of already built into the system. And then you sometimes

0:11:39.760 --> 0:11:41.920
<v Speaker 1>see something on tape or maybe somebody else on the step.

0:11:42.000 --> 0:11:44.559
<v Speaker 1>You know, there's an idea too that comes into it,

0:11:45.440 --> 0:11:47.200
<v Speaker 1>and you look for matchups. You look how you can

0:11:47.200 --> 0:11:50.400
<v Speaker 1>get them when they're in man coverage. Um, who's he

0:11:50.520 --> 0:11:52.679
<v Speaker 1>going to be matched up on? What routes? Does Darren

0:11:52.720 --> 0:11:55.600
<v Speaker 1>run best versus man coverage from the backfield, you know,

0:11:55.679 --> 0:11:58.240
<v Speaker 1>from closer to the line of scrimmage, um, And then

0:11:58.280 --> 0:12:00.800
<v Speaker 1>just try to pick one or two or three of

0:12:00.800 --> 0:12:02.600
<v Speaker 1>those each week. You don't want to overdo it. You

0:12:02.640 --> 0:12:04.200
<v Speaker 1>just you don't want to overdo it. You want to

0:12:04.200 --> 0:12:06.960
<v Speaker 1>take a couple and create a couple of big moments

0:12:07.000 --> 0:12:09.680
<v Speaker 1>there and then spread the ball around from there, you know,

0:12:09.679 --> 0:12:12.720
<v Speaker 1>to the other guys as well, like Carson had pretty

0:12:12.760 --> 0:12:15.040
<v Speaker 1>close to I was a perfect game. I'm sure you

0:12:15.040 --> 0:12:16.920
<v Speaker 1>guys can always find something to coble with. But when

0:12:16.960 --> 0:12:19.040
<v Speaker 1>you have a game like that where there are any

0:12:19.280 --> 0:12:22.720
<v Speaker 1>glaring mistakes, how do you coach them up for the

0:12:22.720 --> 0:12:25.120
<v Speaker 1>following week? I mean, what are the areas that you

0:12:25.160 --> 0:12:27.560
<v Speaker 1>start to focus on? You know? I mean I think,

0:12:28.240 --> 0:12:30.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, even after you come off a big win

0:12:30.240 --> 0:12:33.720
<v Speaker 1>like we had against the Steelers. You know what I

0:12:33.800 --> 0:12:36.000
<v Speaker 1>like is I like our veteran leadership. I like our

0:12:36.040 --> 0:12:39.920
<v Speaker 1>maturity that we understand that it really is over. It

0:12:39.960 --> 0:12:42.840
<v Speaker 1>does not matter if you do not strap it on

0:12:43.360 --> 0:12:46.280
<v Speaker 1>starting Monday in practice and in meetings, if you do

0:12:46.400 --> 0:12:49.360
<v Speaker 1>not strap it on for every meeting, if you are

0:12:49.400 --> 0:12:52.240
<v Speaker 1>just a little bit off your game when you step

0:12:52.240 --> 0:12:54.760
<v Speaker 1>out there on Sunday, you can you can get beat

0:12:54.760 --> 0:12:58.240
<v Speaker 1>in a hurry. And so you know, our job as

0:12:58.280 --> 0:13:02.359
<v Speaker 1>a coaches and as a offense is to stay focused,

0:13:02.480 --> 0:13:04.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, day by day, and it doesn't matter what

0:13:04.840 --> 0:13:07.320
<v Speaker 1>happened last week, win or lose. Um, we gotta get

0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:17.280
<v Speaker 1>we gotta get wired. He needed to do it, you know.

0:13:17.320 --> 0:13:19.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I think as teams get more film on him.

0:13:19.440 --> 0:13:22.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you know, if it's if it's the kind

0:13:22.040 --> 0:13:25.400
<v Speaker 1>of film that he's been stuff he's been putting on tape. It's,

0:13:25.440 --> 0:13:28.439
<v Speaker 1>you know, we got good players around him. It's not

0:13:28.480 --> 0:13:30.880
<v Speaker 1>a one man show. He's playing good football, but it's

0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:33.760
<v Speaker 1>because we have a good we have good offensive personnel,

0:13:34.160 --> 0:13:36.120
<v Speaker 1>and it starts up front. Those guys up front are

0:13:36.160 --> 0:13:39.200
<v Speaker 1>playing good football, and Stout and Eugene do a good

0:13:39.280 --> 0:13:42.360
<v Speaker 1>job of getting those guys ready. And the whole key

0:13:42.440 --> 0:13:45.320
<v Speaker 1>for Carson is he's got ten guys around him, and

0:13:45.360 --> 0:13:48.080
<v Speaker 1>he's got a defense that's playing great and special teams

0:13:48.080 --> 0:13:51.640
<v Speaker 1>that's great. So um, yeah, he's playing good and we're

0:13:51.640 --> 0:13:54.120
<v Speaker 1>happy with it. But you know, the success that he

0:13:54.360 --> 0:13:57.000
<v Speaker 1>has had is he deserves a lot of credit, but

0:13:57.080 --> 0:14:00.680
<v Speaker 1>it is it is he fully understands that he's benefiting

0:14:00.720 --> 0:14:05.880
<v Speaker 1>from good play around him as well. H
