1 00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:03,360 Speaker 1: Tanks trade. How did that all come down. 2 00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:05,880 Speaker 2: Which his attitude or you know, any. 3 00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:09,560 Speaker 1: Kind of an issue. No, it really just came down to, 4 00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:13,720 Speaker 1: you know, after some time of evaluating and just working 5 00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:16,720 Speaker 1: through some things, just felt like, especially you know post Sunday, 6 00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:18,880 Speaker 1: is just probably best to move on, you know, to 7 00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:21,200 Speaker 1: just give him an opportunity to go and both the 8 00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:23,640 Speaker 1: same with us. We feel good about, you know, where 9 00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:25,560 Speaker 1: we're at moving forward. I wish him nothing but the best, 10 00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:30,000 Speaker 1: and you know he's good dude, and just worked out 11 00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:33,680 Speaker 1: that way. So I really feel confident obviously with some 12 00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:36,120 Speaker 1: of the way that those other guys stepped in did 13 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:39,840 Speaker 1: some good things. It's hard to rotate for and wishing 14 00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:44,239 Speaker 1: nothing but the best or just what you've seen from 15 00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:47,000 Speaker 1: the rooties that made you more comfortable. Yes, it was combination, 16 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:49,240 Speaker 1: combination of all those things. 17 00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,639 Speaker 2: In terms of your borrow. What in your opinion makes 18 00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:54,840 Speaker 2: him such a special player. 19 00:00:55,040 --> 00:01:01,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, His ability to create is is elite. His the 20 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:06,240 Speaker 1: accuracy the pinpoint of it. His ability to put balls 21 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:10,080 Speaker 1: in tight spaces, give those guys opportunities. He well, he 22 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,480 Speaker 1: knows them so well and what they do well and 23 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:14,560 Speaker 1: how they want the ball thrown to him. It's clear 24 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,240 Speaker 1: that they have, you know, chemistry. Even when last week's 25 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 1: output wasn't maybe as much as they've been used to, 26 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:22,399 Speaker 1: you can still see that there was some moments where 27 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,320 Speaker 1: like whoa, that was pretty good. So we it's a 28 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,119 Speaker 1: huge challenge for us. I got a ton of respect 29 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,759 Speaker 1: for Zach and what he's been able to do there 30 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 1: over the years. And Joe's special players, Like how much 31 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 1: of it. 32 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 2: You get out? 33 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 1: You know he can get it out. You just you 34 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 1: got to take some of the air out of the coverage. 35 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:41,679 Speaker 1: It's hard to give him a ton of space, but 36 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 1: it's you know, it's feast or faming. You go up, 37 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 1: you go and press them, you get too much on 38 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,559 Speaker 1: who knows what it could be, and you know, it's 39 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 1: just one of those combinations. He's a smart player. He 40 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 1: knows how to get to zero audibles and checks and 41 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 1: h understands the game. So it's gonna be a little 42 00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 1: bit of a chess match. 43 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 2: Moved from a lot. 44 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 1: He's on one side for the most part, and uh yeah, 45 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 1: it's a challenge for sure. He's a player that can 46 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 1: wreckt the game. He can you know, obviously last week 47 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 1: he was more so getting back in. It didn't play 48 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 1: every snap, but anticipate him playing more as it continues 49 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 1: to get comfortable and get more acclimated. But definitely somebody 50 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 1: that can wreck the game or something from your team 51 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,800 Speaker 1: about how they handle going into a road environment. Yeah, 52 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 1: I do. I think that obviously going to New Orleans 53 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:29,919 Speaker 1: was a good deal, and same thing with Miami in 54 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 1: terms of just handling it the right way and coming 55 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,519 Speaker 1: together a little bit more as a team. Smaller group 56 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:39,080 Speaker 1: obviously now going up to Cincinnati, so great opportunity for 57 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,519 Speaker 1: us as a team to continue to come together and 58 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,799 Speaker 1: get to know each other more and go through things 59 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,679 Speaker 1: together as a team more so, I'm actually looking forward 60 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:52,919 Speaker 1: to it, Like more defensive Sweet came as a direct result. 61 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 2: If he's a chase for life, you know, be. 62 00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,079 Speaker 1: A likely uptick. It's more so, you know, going in 63 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 1: a week one, it was okay, we'll probably we know 64 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 1: that it's not going to be a ton on defense. 65 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,959 Speaker 1: The goal is to increase and continue to increase. It 66 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:11,919 Speaker 1: just so happens that we're playing Cincinnati with two good 67 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 1: white House this week. The chase it's hard to find them. 68 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 1: I mean, there there's some good tandem's out there for sure, 69 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 1: you know, and but the way they've done it at 70 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 1: a high level now for a number of years, the 71 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 1: chemistry they go to a super Bowl, you know they've won. 72 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 1: They've known how to win. Like Sacks done a great 73 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 1: job there with getting those guys where they are now. 74 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 1: And you know, they've just they've played in a difficult division. 75 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 1: They've played a ton of difficult games, tight games over 76 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 1: the years. They've pulled some of those out in some 77 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 1: critical moments. Play Kansas City tough every year. So this 78 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 1: is a team that knows how to win. They're well coached, 79 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 1: and they have some talent. Harrison back on track to 80 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 1: be able to get back on the field. And how 81 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 1: impressed were you with his first performance? Yeah, he is, 82 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 1: you know, had a little furness, but it's you know, 83 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 1: it's part of it. I was pleased with Anton, especially 84 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 1: in past protection, you know, the whole the whole group, 85 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 1: but specifically Anton and in the run game did some 86 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 1: really good things. So I was pleased with his effort, strain, 87 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 1: the way that he you know, he was battling through 88 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 1: a little bit of a nick and battled through it. 89 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,720 Speaker 1: Obviously came out for a short period, but I was 90 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 1: pleased with his first outing what about what you got 91 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 1: out of. 92 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 2: Shooting down and what kind of opportunity it's in front 93 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 2: of those guys now. 94 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 1: That yeah, I think that they without having to say 95 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 1: much to them, they understand based on the move. So 96 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 1: you know, even when you know when Toot did get 97 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 1: in and get a couple carries and didn't have a 98 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:46,840 Speaker 1: ton and I think he had a it was a 99 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:48,719 Speaker 1: seven eight yard run or whatever it was, whether there 100 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:50,720 Speaker 1: wasn't much going on at the line of scrimmage, he 101 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 1: made a great cut, got vertical, and another one that 102 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 1: gets hit by the at the end kind of towards 103 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:57,600 Speaker 1: It wasn't quite four minute, but we were running at 104 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 1: that point. Hit behind the line of scrimmage, gets you know, 105 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 1: positive yurds. It gets back to the last scrimmers and 106 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,159 Speaker 1: then Quint on a critical third down comes in, gets 107 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 1: a five or six yard run and has a good 108 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,840 Speaker 1: blitz pick up. So it's opportunity for those guys for 109 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 1: sure to step up and give us quality snaps. We're 110 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 1: gonna work on some guys, so Parker two and all 111 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,600 Speaker 1: those guys will get some. Quint still getting some back there, 112 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:30,039 Speaker 1: getting a couple other guys some reps today as well, yeah, 113 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 1: I thought he did some good things. You know, he 114 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:33,840 Speaker 1: had what he only had three or whatever it was, 115 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 1: but a big critical catch before the half on the dagger, 116 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 1: critical fourth down where he you know, he trips, you 117 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 1: might have had a little bit more. He was pissed 118 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 1: at himself. And then you know he has the uh 119 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 1: the curl which was a good throwing catch. So the 120 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 1: one thing about you, I mean the game that did 121 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 1: really show up was his effort without the ball in 122 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:56,599 Speaker 1: his hands, uh, you know, helping down the field, blocking motions, 123 00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 1: just doing the right things. I was pleased with his 124 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:01,920 Speaker 1: out as well. And you know, just like with all 125 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 1: those wideouts, you want to get them more like it's 126 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 1: the goal is to you want everybody to touch the ball. 127 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:10,840 Speaker 1: You want everybody to get included. But also there's some 128 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 1: games that become ones that you're just gonna try to win. 129 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 1: Going back to the trade just a little bit. Was 130 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 1: that something that they guy scored? 131 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:17,920 Speaker 2: Did you want? 132 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:25,160 Speaker 1: There was none of those conversations like last week. I mean, 133 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 1: how much more does that a fact? How much playing 134 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 1: is that part game? And how much more returns you? Yeah, 135 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 1: I think it's it's definitely stressed a little bit more 136 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 1: because of the rules and all that. But I didn't 137 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:40,600 Speaker 1: necessarily feel like any of our you know, returns did 138 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 1: anything quite crazy dynamic that we couldn't hold off on. 139 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 1: You know, we need to probably improve some of our 140 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:49,839 Speaker 1: blocking skin. You know, we've got to be a little 141 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 1: bit better at the first and second level some guys, 142 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 1: to give those guys a little bit more room. But also, 143 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 1: you know, so much of that is making people miss 144 00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:01,600 Speaker 1: having vision, seeing it and just hitting it, So you know, 145 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 1: I think we can look to improve there. 146 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,599 Speaker 2: What are the sort of core philosophies of your program 147 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 2: that have to get elevated to go on the road 148 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 2: and win a game? 149 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 1: You know, I think that you're going on the road 150 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 1: playing a team that plays in a physical division, that 151 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 1: has played in a lot of physical football games over 152 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 1: the course of their last four years or so, and 153 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 1: that has to be our style of play needs to 154 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 1: show up this week. And then also, hey, facing adversity again, 155 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:36,559 Speaker 1: right like this, Yeah, Sunday, that was okay, lightning delay. 156 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 1: It wasn't really adversity, you know, it wasn't so it 157 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 1: was a glitch. So it was great that we handled 158 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 1: the right way and all that, But like, okay, Jamar 159 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 1: Chase gets one to know it's probably, I mean, it's 160 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 1: likely they're going to catch one, you know what I mean? 161 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 1: It is what it is like, just move on, cares, 162 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 1: play the next play, and that mentality of Okay, they 163 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 1: get one, shoot, here we go. We're gonna go get 164 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 1: one and just going and continuing to compete regardless of 165 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 1: what just occurred. That's not you know, what we want 166 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 1: to focus on. We want to focus on that process. 167 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 1: How much growth can you expect to see from general 168 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 1: beats kind of gets one full game hunder smelt now 169 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 1: anywhere in particular steps over the courses, right, Yeah. I 170 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 1: think that when you look at the operation, the way 171 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 1: you handle things all very very positive. You know, made 172 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 1: some critical third down conversions and especially when we were 173 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 1: trying to extend some drives in the second half, even 174 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 1: after having a difficult third quarter. You look at really 175 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 1: the sequence of incomplete the Travis on the bootleg, incomplete 176 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:45,439 Speaker 1: to Bet on the corner route third and ten dark 177 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:49,079 Speaker 1: to the Amnie on the curl. So it's like, Okay, 178 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 1: it's there, you know, it's there. It's just the consistency 179 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:56,360 Speaker 1: of it not having those five to six plays that 180 00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:58,559 Speaker 1: you know, you could be sitting there at twenty five 181 00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,079 Speaker 1: or thirty one for two hundred plus and now you're like, okay, shoot, 182 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 1: this is damn good outing. So I think there was 183 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,839 Speaker 1: great things to work from, and I do believe we 184 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,600 Speaker 1: can continue to see an improvement week in and week out. 185 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 2: Getting out. 186 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:20,560 Speaker 1: Five maybe five six, so etn the whole line. Yeah, 187 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 1: I mean it's like, you know, they are no sacks 188 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:28,320 Speaker 1: two hundred ards Foyer J Lou Logan. 189 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,280 Speaker 2: In terms of Jordan Lewis, what was really impressed about 190 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 2: how he conducts his businesses and. 191 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,559 Speaker 1: Brow Yeah, I mean since the first conversation we had, 192 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:39,960 Speaker 1: and you know, when we got here in pro Free Agency, 193 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,679 Speaker 1: was very clear that he was, you know, wanting to 194 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,719 Speaker 1: take the next step in his career, not just in 195 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 1: play and commitment and all that stuff, but more in 196 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,439 Speaker 1: the leadership role. That was something that he felt, you know, 197 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 1: he could help provide and that does have some natural 198 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 1: leadership skills and you know, the toughness, the grit, the 199 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 1: competitor biveness that does rub off on guys, It has 200 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,960 Speaker 1: rubbed off on guys. He's a great communicator. He's demanding 201 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 1: and challenging of his teammates. And coaches, So I've been 202 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 1: very pleased with him so far. Yeah, that was cool 203 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:20,439 Speaker 1: to see on Mmm, it's uh, he's just plays his 204 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 1: tail off. 205 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:21,439 Speaker 2: You know. 206 00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:25,840 Speaker 1: It's just so cool to see because it's like if 207 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 1: your other guys looking at that and you're like, well, 208 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:34,080 Speaker 1: he's playing that way, it's hard to lose the standard, 209 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,160 Speaker 1: you know, like the standard needs to continue to rise 210 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 1: when you see a guy like that on playing unselfishly 211 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:44,720 Speaker 1: and physically throughout the entire game at every moment. There's 212 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 1: not many plays that he takes off, and so that's 213 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:51,080 Speaker 1: critical for our our DNA, our identity as a team, 214 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 1: as an offense, and I was very pleased that he 215 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:57,480 Speaker 1: was able to get off to a quick start. And 216 00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:01,200 Speaker 1: when you got a guy like that, yes, it's huge 217 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 1: because now it's not like you can get a huge 218 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,360 Speaker 1: heel on Okay, he's on or off the ball, he's 219 00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 1: split out where it is he is it run past 220 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 1: tendencies because he's able to do some things in the 221 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 1: run game that allow you to stay balanced. And then 222 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 1: also in the past game, you know, run after catch 223 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 1: and go make some you know, difficult catches as well. 224 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,719 Speaker 1: So definitely somebody we want to continue to work with,
