Speaker 1: Browns coordinators. First up, though, it was the players. They

7
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:25,439
Speaker 1: spoke in the locker room, and cornerback Denzell Ward was

8
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:28,319
Speaker 1: the first to talk. He discussed what the mindset is

9
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 1: when you play such a talented team and how this

10
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:33,280
Speaker 1: defense is working to get more turnovers this season.

11
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:37,519
Speaker 2: So what makes Chittle unique amongst that elite tier of

12
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 2: tight end?

13
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:45,520
Speaker 3: A great blocker, I'll say, first thought, physical player, good runners, well,

14
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:50,199
Speaker 3: good run after catch. Guy, that's a great player, Like

15
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:52,160
Speaker 3: you said, he's one of those top tier tight ends

16
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 3: they got in this league, and we got to do

17
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 3: a good job with challenging him come game day.

18
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 4: Some of the pundits wanted down play what brought already

19
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 4: does his quarterback and they want to just kind of

20
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 4: point to the supporting cast. So it's someone who's watched

21
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 4: the film and had to prepare, you know, for him.

22
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 4: What do you see from him in what makes him

23
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 4: such an effective quarterback.

24
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's been a great quarterback for their team, getting

25
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 3: the ball, able to get the ball out quick, put

26
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,479
Speaker 3: the ball where it needs to be, goes through his progression.

27
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 3: I said, an accurate quarterback, able to make everything on

28
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 3: the field, and just.

29
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 5: Leading those guys over there.

30
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 3: So he's definitely coming up in this league and uh,

31
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 3: definitely gonna have a challenge ahead of.

32
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,680
Speaker 6: What's what's it like to him to try to deal

33
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 6: with them from.

34
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 3: A run stand stand? Yeah, like I said, dynamic player.

35
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 3: Able to make plays out of the back beld, whether

36
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 3: it's running the ball or catching the ball. So definitely

37
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 3: gotta see where he's at all times on the field,

38
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 3: whether he's flexed out in a receiver position or in

39
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 3: a running back position.

40
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 5: So like I said, dynamic player, and uh, yeah, he's good.

41
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 7: Uh Ferdy is really careful with the ball and he's

42
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 7: thrownna pick this year.

43
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 8: So Zack, do you defect A guy likes that differently

44
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,119
Speaker 8: that you know, taking a chance might not work.

45
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 7: So I didn't deal with that.

46
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 3: No, I wouldn't say taking a chance. We just gotta

47
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 3: do our job and execute our assignments. And uh, I

48
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 3: feel those takeovers all come. He's done a great like

49
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 3: I said, done a great job, but taking care of

50
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:27,399
Speaker 3: the ball and not throwing any interceptions. But I said,

51
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 3: we got just be in a great position and find

52
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:31,799
Speaker 3: ways to attack the ball and put ourselves in those

53
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 3: positions to take it away.

54
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 9: Until obviously they you know, you've mentioned all the playmakers

55
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 9: that they have and you guys have gotten off your

56
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:37,919
Speaker 9: good started defensive.

57
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 7: How do you think you guys can match up with

58
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 7: all their guys?

59
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think we match up well, like I said,

60
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,919
Speaker 3: but they're they're a dynamic offense and uh, definitely go

61
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 3: because in a great challenge for us. But I think

62
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 3: we're out for a challenge and looking forward to it

63
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 3: going against those guys.

64
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 5: And kind of seeing where we're at and uh trying

65
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 5: to find a way to get a win.

66
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 7: With your reaction, did you watch a game?

67
00:02:58,080 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 5: Oh No, I didn't.

68
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 9: Okay, so when you're I guess when you're watch film, man,

69
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 9: I mean Dallas had a really good defensive, you know,

70
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 9: going into that game and gives a forty two.

71
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 7: Like what are you thinking of season?

72
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, like I said, they're they're a great, great team,

73
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 3: great offense, put up a lot of points. Uh, Dallas

74
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 3: is a great team as well, but we're different defenses.

75
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 3: They're They're Dallas and we're Cleveland, so we got different personnel,

76
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,679
Speaker 3: different coaches, different everything. So we just gotta, uh, we

77
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 3: just got vs do what we do, go out there

78
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:25,679
Speaker 3: and execute and try to find a way not to

79
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 3: let them put up all those points in scores.

80
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 10: Souch de Phe said Monday that turnover margin has to change.

81
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 5: Emphasis on takeaways and keep keeping. So has there been.

82
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think takeaways has always been an emphasis, and

83
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 3: we gotta do a great job on continuing to try

84
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 3: to play ourselves in position to attack the ball.

85
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 5: We get PBUs and.

86
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 3: Breakups and and stops, but trying to get both hands

87
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 3: on the ball and take it away help our team.

88
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 5: So uh, that's definitely been an emphasis. But yeah, he's

89
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 5: that we uh go ahead.

90
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 10: Is that the meetings or is it on the practice child?

91
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 5: Uh, I think it's everywhere.

92
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 3: They they presented in the meetings like we need to

93
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 3: get takeaways and and uh showing us plays and ways

94
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 3: that we could go and take the ball away. And

95
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 3: then we go out there on the fields like you

96
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 3: guys see uh out the practice of practicing those takeaway

97
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 3: drills and uh trying to get takeaways and practice them.

98
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 11: So how do you approach a player like do you

99
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 11: want see him who can be? He was in multiple

100
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 11: ways white out? Just look, how do you approach a

101
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 11: guy like that?

102
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 12: Does that construe the the game playing the bed or

103
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 12: does the state of senior field?

104
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 5: Uh?

105
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 3: Just another guy that U is dynamic and uh able

106
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 3: to play multiple positions, whether that's uh running back or receiver,

107
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:37,280
Speaker 3: and AU guy know where he's at all the time

108
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 3: on the field, and uh just do what we do,

109
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 3: make plays.

110
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,599
Speaker 6: There seems to be this general why the the you

111
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 6: know the forty nine.

112
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 7: Ers are the best team.

113
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 6: In football or you know you guys are unscer Jargison

114
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 6: skame and it's that you know you don't have much

115
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 6: of a chance you even know if DeShawn Watson's good play?

116
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 6: What's your mindset in here?

117
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 13: Just a about how you guys are approaching the skill.

118
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, they they are great team and uh they deserve that.

119
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 3: They're five and er Uh they showed it on tape.

120
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 3: But I think every get, every game is a new game.

121
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 3: So I mean we gotta go out there and show

122
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 3: it that, uh we're a great defense and great offense,

123
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 3: great team and just as they gotta go show that,

124
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 3: Uh they're that number one team out there as well.

125
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 3: So I said, they present a great challenge for us,

126
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:18,840
Speaker 3: but uh something grow up for it.

127
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 12: You guys are our seeing with like kind of very

128
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 12: don in defense, presses work this season?

129
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 11: What else do you think.

130
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 14: Of stressed to me to show you like.

131
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 3: As a as a point that, oh, I like coach

132
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 3: has been saying, I think we still gotta get those

133
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 3: takeaways and uh, I think that's been a big emphasis.

134
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 5: So uh, definitely getting those takeaways.

135
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 3: But I don't think we need to do anything crazy,

136
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 3: just continue to be ourselves and go out there and

137
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 3: and play our game player ball, and uh, I think

138
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 3: everything else to take care of yourself.

139
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 9: Cause there's something about the way that Kyle Shanahan calls plays.

140
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 9: It stands out to you cause it looks like he

141
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 9: gets guys running free in good amount.

142
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, great play caller.

143
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:55,720
Speaker 3: Like I said, they got a great personnel, a great

144
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,599
Speaker 3: play caller, and uh, we just gotta do our job

145
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 3: of being on the same paid. I think it's about

146
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 3: us and just executing our call and assignment and try

147
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 3: to prevent guys from running free or you know something

148
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:07,160
Speaker 3: like that.

149
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 13: I know it's not up to you, guys, but were

150
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,039
Speaker 13: there's some positives from having the bye week before the

151
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 13: forty nine ers, extra time to rest or prepare or

152
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:15,280
Speaker 13: what did you take away from it?

153
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 7: Yeah?

154
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,160
Speaker 3: I think a bye week is always good, just the

155
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 3: time to decompress, get away for a little bit, get

156
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 3: your bodies right, and get ready for the next game.

157
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:29,279
Speaker 6: Pick'm sorry it's gonna say J Walker starts to scame.

158
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 6: What impacts does that have?

159
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 3: Are you statta?

160
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 5: I think as a defense, I.

161
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 3: Mean, like I said, we just gotta be us and

162
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 3: do what we do if he If PJ starts, then great.

163
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 5: Uh he's a great quarterback. I think he go out

164
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:43,599
Speaker 5: there and help us win for sure.

165
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 15: Uh.

166
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 3: And then defense, we just gotta do a great job

167
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:49,359
Speaker 3: of putting an offense in great position to make plays

168
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 3: and like I said, getting those takeovers and trying to

169
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 3: find a way to win.

170
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: Wide receiver Amari Cooper was next, and he talked about

171
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,279
Speaker 1: how impressive it was to see David and Joku play

172
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:00,480
Speaker 1: with all the burns on his face and how he's

173
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 1: working to build chemistry with quarterback PJ. Walker in practice.

174
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:05,599
Speaker 16: Mar what do you make of the the situation in

175
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 16: quarterback and how challenging is that for someone like you,

176
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 16: kind of preparing with somebody moving parts and kind of uncertainty.

177
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 5: I think at this point, yeah, I mean it's just

178
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 5: part of the game.

179
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 17: I mean it's my ninth year. I've played with multituo

180
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 17: of different quarterbacks. UH, been in situation similar to this before.

181
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 17: So not anything that's surprising. You have to be very adaptable,

182
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 17: Uh in these types of situations.

183
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 3: Uh.

184
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 17: As far as the challenge, I don't really see how

185
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 17: much of a challenge. I mean, obviously communicating with a

186
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 17: new quarterback who I haven't played in a game with before.

187
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 5: Uh, but it's just the same.

188
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 17: When I go out there, I create separation, I catch

189
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 17: the ball, I do my job.

190
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 5: This is pretty much.

191
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 4: Uh.

192
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 10: The first week Walker is throwing to first teamers. What's

193
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 10: it been like in practice?

194
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 5: Uh, it's been cool. Uh, K quarter a couple of

195
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:55,239
Speaker 5: balls from 'em.

196
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 17: I mean, at the end of the day, it's just

197
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 17: a ball coming at you that you have to catch.

198
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 17: I it's not I don't really see it as, you know,

199
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 17: a huge challenge. I don't see it as a huge

200
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 17: challenges as long as I do my job.

201
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 4: San Francis, skill comes in, Like I do, think they're

202
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 4: like giving up a late little like thirteen or so

203
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 4: points per game. When you look at that defense, what's

204
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 4: made them so good and and what challenge does that

205
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 4: present to you as someone who's looking to go out

206
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 4: there and make some plays against.

207
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean they're very proficient defense.

208
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 6: Uh.

209
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:26,559
Speaker 5: We do a lot of things.

210
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 17: Well, thing that jumps out and tape kind of the

211
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 17: most is the speed. You know, they they all hustle

212
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,559
Speaker 17: to the ball. Uh every single snap. They try to

213
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 17: create turnovers, They try to push the ball out every

214
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 17: single time. You know, they have some skill guys on

215
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,959
Speaker 17: the outside they say physical. Uh, they really try to

216
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 17: challenge you with a patch game. They really trusting their

217
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 17: their count seven to get to the quarterback and to

218
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 17: make plays. So, I mean I think they are good

219
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 17: all around defense. Uh, so we just have to be

220
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:53,239
Speaker 17: a good all around.

221
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 15: Offense, which are Mark mar What does it say about

222
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:56,719
Speaker 15: Data that he was able to go out there and

223
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 15: play in that game after what happened on Friday night?

224
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 17: Now, Yeah, says a lot about him. Uh, you know,

225
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 17: sh showed a lot of toughness on his part. One

226
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 17: hundred percent.

227
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 4: Uh.

228
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 17: There are a lot of players who definitely would not

229
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:14,599
Speaker 17: have played UH with that happening to him, uh to

230
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 17: uh less than forty eight hours before the game, and

231
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 17: for a good reason, you know. But you know, I

232
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 17: was actually surprised when he played as well. But uh

233
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 17: it it it says a lot about his toughness.

234
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 5: What was your initial reaction that you saw his faces?

235
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 17: Well, I've been burned like that before, not on my face,

236
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 17: so I I could just imagine them out of the

237
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:39,839
Speaker 17: pain he felt. It's yeah, it was crazy. I was

238
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 17: just like, how the heck did he do this?

239
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 5: Like what was he trying to do?

240
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 17: But he he was able to play through it, which

241
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 17: was amazing because just putting a hemlet on this.

242
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 5: Shore was very painful.

243
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 17: So imagine getting tackled, your helmet always coming down.

244
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 5: You sweating. It was a lot. You know, It's a

245
00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 5: lot he had to deal without. I commended for that.

246
00:09:59,120 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 7: How did you do it?

247
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:00,320
Speaker 11: You hear?

248
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 5: Well, I I've just turned myself.

249
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 17: Because I I've played in Oakland and the UH on

250
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 17: baseball field, so I would get tackled on it all

251
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 17: the time. I would strap my skin to the white meat.

252
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 17: But I have to rap it and stuff like that.

253
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 17: But it w I I it wasn't on my face though, yeah, I.

254
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:20,079
Speaker 9: Already know in the offseason it was a want of

255
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 9: focus on finding ways to get explosive plays in the

256
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 9: pasta and I think you guys in like seven plays

257
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 9: over whatever twenty third, how do you think you can generate.

258
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:33,839
Speaker 18: Toward though more explosive to get uh just throwing the

259
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 18: baldown field more. Uh uh, that's the easiest way to

260
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 18: generate it explosive, right, Just throw to walden field like

261
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 18: guys grow up in and and make a play. Y.

262
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 18: You know, there's always the the the the line between

263
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:51,439
Speaker 18: trying to scheme and explosive and just just.

264
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 17: Letting guys make plays. So uh, I I'm off for either.

265
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 17: But I could I could go up and make a

266
00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 17: play or you know, we could you could scheme up

267
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 17: lay based off of the defense has placed in front

268
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:02,840
Speaker 17: of us.

269
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 4: So during any priory both the interpering counsel can'st get metal.

270
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 4: Turning the ball on offense, turning ball with all offense

271
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:14,320
Speaker 4: is like the main priority to try and eliminate coming

272
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 4: out in his final week.

273
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 17: Staff for the score.

274
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 7: Coast, and it's one of the teams takeaway teams in

275
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 7: the league.

276
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,719
Speaker 4: So I guess what do you do in practice to

277
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 4: emphasize collectively as a team, not just your innivadually.

278
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 17: Ball security, Yeah, yeah, I mean turnovers is the biggest

279
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:33,839
Speaker 17: differentiating factory between You'm gonna lose it. Uh, So we

280
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 17: just preach in drill and try to hone in on

281
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 17: you know, ball security, catching tough, always protecting them because

282
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 17: it's all about the ball.

283
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 5: This is what this game is about. It's about the ball.

284
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 5: So the remedy for that is to protect the ball

285
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 5: at all costs. You know, we say that the hopes

286
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 5: and dreams of the organization.

287
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,560
Speaker 17: Of the treating around organization isn't a guy who has

288
00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,559
Speaker 17: the ball in his hands at the time. So that's

289
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 17: how seriou to take you. You talked about it and

290
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 17: like the fun and did your pots.

291
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 13: You talked about the communication aspect of you and now

292
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,439
Speaker 13: let you I wouldn't need to talk to us.

293
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 7: About things you're seeing and stuff. Doever you guys test

294
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 7: you get that story?

295
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 13: Just that communication.

296
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean communication is very important. I mean, at

297
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 5: the end of the big you just want to be

298
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:25,359
Speaker 5: on the same page.

299
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,960
Speaker 17: With the people you're trying to achieve the same goal.

300
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 17: That's it's just easier to achieve the goal that way.

301
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 5: So that's that's the perspective I look at it. It's

302
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 5: like STI communication is just like you describe what you're seeing.

303
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 17: Is it's like a new speaking.

304
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 5: No. Actually, I think the most important cart.

305
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 17: The feedback Bothal's like a it's just two way th

306
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 17: page and style. I'm telling him what I see on

307
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,599
Speaker 17: a certain plate, and I expected to tell me what

308
00:12:57,840 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 17: he sees on that same plate, and then we come

309
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 17: to the conclusion to ghetto and what's the best way

310
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 17: to attack lack scenario.

311
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:07,439
Speaker 5: That's how I got a little.

312
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:10,840
Speaker 11: Especially just for the future.

313
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, of course, I mean throughout the course of really

314
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 5: leading to the.

315
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 17: Game, we're gonna be constantly communicating, uh, you know when

316
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 17: we go out there today in practice, I'm sure we'll have.

317
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,320
Speaker 5: Some plays and we need to communicate it out uh

318
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:26,719
Speaker 5: before the game. So we'll do that.

319
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 19: Is there is there an advantage of knowing ahead of

320
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:34,680
Speaker 19: before the game day that you're gonna have a different quarterback?

321
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 7: You mean, like the Baltimore gave me yet I until

322
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 7: after warnm up sat Deshaun Watson players.

323
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 17: So Yeah, it could be an advantage from a communication

324
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 17: stand point one hundred percent.

325
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 5: You just get to communicate with the guy who you

326
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 5: know is gonna be back there, uh over a longer

327
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:53,680
Speaker 5: period of time.

328
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 1: Great Delpit wrapped up the day in the locker room

329
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 1: and talked about how to not get beat by all

330
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,199
Speaker 1: the motion, the forty nine ers running their offense, and

331
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 1: what he sees in talented forty nine ers tight end

332
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 1: George Kittle.

333
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:05,960
Speaker 6: Ye know what did you think when you see all

334
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 6: the lupiece that they have or you trying to face

335
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:10,559
Speaker 6: George Kittle and everything.

336
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 17: San Francisco have.

337
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 20: Yeah, I watched, uh some of it. They took care of,

338
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 20: They handled business, They handled pretty well. They're probably the

339
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 20: best of all team right now in the NFL in

340
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 20: my opinion. So that's a that's a challenge for us.

341
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 21: Man.

342
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 20: We wouldn't want to any other way. So we gonna

343
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 20: prepare a form this weekend. Be ready for 'em on Sunday.

344
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 5: They make a lot of big plays in the scord

345
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 5: lot of boys.

346
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 4: When you watch them on film, yeap, do they really

347
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 4: jump out at you like like you feel like, man,

348
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 4: we're gonna have our hands full Sunday.

349
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, like I said, they're a great team right now.

350
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 5: Nobody's been able to stop 'em.

351
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 4: Uh.

352
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 20: They don't turn the ball over a lot. They get

353
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 20: a lot of t uh takeaways. On defense, they have

354
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 20: a unique scheme of offense. And we run a similar

355
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 20: defense to them that they run. So they've seen it before.

356
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 20: So it's gonna be a war.

357
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 5: You know.

358
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 20: We ready for it, and I'm gonna prepare like I said,

359
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 20: and be uh get ready.

360
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 15: Nothing to fly should you about thirty?

361
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 5: But but what stands out about him?

362
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 20: He takes care of the ball. He takes care of

363
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 20: the ball. He makes good decisions. He he finds his playmakers.

364
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 20: They have plays drawn up for him. That's that's nice

365
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 20: reads for him. And he he makes the reds. So

366
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 20: he's been doing that so far. Say, you know, hopefully

367
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 20: well cause little problems for him.

368
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 15: Shandery wants to do a lot of pre snap a movement.

369
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 7: Yeah.

370
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 15: Is it just to get you guys off your spot?

371
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 15: Is there's sometimes where he's just doing it to do

372
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 15: it to to get guys to move.

373
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 11: Yeah.

374
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 20: The coach believes that you know motions, It's it's like

375
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 20: eighty percent motion every every uh h.

376
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 11: All their snaps.

377
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 20: So yeah, he believes that it gets guys out of

378
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 20: position on defense and maybe can drag him a little

379
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 20: bit to open up a spot uh right behind him,

380
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 20: but also then and get a come back fire on

381
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 20: them as well. But they're he believes in it, and

382
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 20: that's that's the way they do well. And it it

383
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 20: opens up a lot of passing lanes and uh and

384
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 20: you know, gaps in the run game too, So.

385
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 7: They do a good job of you.

386
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 15: And the key to kind of combat that you gotta

387
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 15: stay true to what you're doing so you don't get

388
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 15: caught up in just.

389
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 5: A movement for movement's sake.

390
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 20: Yeah, I think they're just doing your job man, and

391
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 20: having your eyes where they're supposed to be thinking about motions.

392
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 20: Is that they're trying to distract you, you know, from

393
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 20: doing your your job. You know, if if, if it

394
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 20: doesn't have anything to do with you, you shouldn't be

395
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 20: worried about it.

396
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 8: What it guys has to do collectively to get back

397
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 8: to the uh playing defense like you did in.

398
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 11: The first three games, worries one more time?

399
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 8: What do you guys have to do collectively as a

400
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 8: defense to get back get back to the way you

401
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 8: played the first three games.

402
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 20: Yeah, I think we're playing well overall right now. To

403
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 20: be honest, we have a bye week too, so I

404
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 20: think we're gonna come out there with fresh legs, so

405
00:16:57,920 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 20: we should not have any excuses in that and that ass.

406
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 20: But you know, I think that we've been on a

407
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:05,160
Speaker 20: part so far. We had a little slip up here

408
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 20: and there, a couple of players in Baltimore, but you know,

409
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:10,920
Speaker 20: we gonna get back to what we we do.

410
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 11: Man, It's just that we haven't left it.

411
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 5: That's why I say, you know, Grant, what's most important

412
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 5: for you guys.

413
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:18,680
Speaker 15: As a defense where you have to account for a

414
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 15: guy like a caffree.

415
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 9: Who can kind of do it all.

416
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 20: Well, I think that their offense, all of their key

417
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:28,640
Speaker 20: players can do it all. You know, d Bow lines

418
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 20: up in the backfield, McCaffrey, they get out youth the ball,

419
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:37,440
Speaker 20: uh Kittle does everything pretty well. So that's the I

420
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:39,159
Speaker 20: think that's something they prior to the offense in so

421
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,160
Speaker 20: it's not just one of them. That's why they're so good.

422
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 20: So it's gonna be a it's gonna be a good,

423
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:45,119
Speaker 20: a good, a good game for us.

424
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:47,879
Speaker 5: Great m does that.

425
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 10: All all that precinct movement, frontry safety.

426
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 20: The guys more than any depends on the coverage. Depends

427
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 20: on the coverage what we in. Like I said, if

428
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 20: it if it has to do with your job, then

429
00:17:58,040 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 20: it has to do with you. But if it doesn't,

430
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 20: need to keep your eyes where it should be. So

431
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:03,880
Speaker 20: that's just the whole distraction.

432
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 10: You know, this is this steff that the Schwartz's defenses.

433
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 10: Wherever he's been, it's like eighty one against shooting his offenses.

434
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 5: Oh really wherever he's m But Schworts talk about.

435
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 11: That as all the way and maybe he's like, here's

436
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 11: what I did in Philly. Yeah, the Falcons when they

437
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:21,359
Speaker 11: were good, and so.

438
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 20: Has Hena He did say anything about that.

439
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 5: Uh probably cause it's working.

440
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 10: Yeah, but I mean he hasn't shown film but the

441
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 10: Eagles defend them the sports.

Speaker 20: course we watched that. But he hasn't brought up that

444
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:37,919
Speaker 20: point of again eight to one. But of course, uh

445
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 20: old filming old, I mean this old things that works.

446
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,520

00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 20: was gonna give you all the secrets and the answers

448
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 20: that I can't can't can't do that.

449
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 13: These guys are coming more fun.

Speaker 5: Yeah, they're so strong.

451
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 6: We talk about him, he just watched the Cowboys. There's

452
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 6: just a general sense, uh oh, you guys have no

453
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:04,159
Speaker 6: chance and that just almost seems to be the.

454
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 5: Fine who said that?

455
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:07,680
Speaker 14: Interest Uh, I never I ain't heard that one.

461
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 20: like I I've said before, they're a great team right now.

462
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 20: Uh quarterbacks playing probably the best in the league. And

463
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,160
Speaker 20: the scheme fits him. Yeah, they have a great defense.

464
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:35,439
Speaker 20: But like I said, man, they riding their hor their

465
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 20: high horse right now. So that's probably the best time

00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:38,639
Speaker 20: to get 'em.

467
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,000

00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:45,119
Speaker 20: I think it mighta been a walk. You gotta ask

471
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 20: him about that. But yeah, it's from a song we

472
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 20: the Mob, but something different. I don't know if it's

473
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 20: our nickname, but you know what I mean, they've describes

474
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 20: us pretty well.

475
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 11: Why do you say that.

476
00:19:57,960 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 7: We the mob.

477
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,160
Speaker 1: When the players wrapped up, the coordinators went to talk

478
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 1: in the media room, and Special teams coordinator Bubba Vtron

479
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 1: was first. As always, he talked about how good the

480
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 1: forty nine or special teams unit has been this year

481
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 1: and how he thinks the Browns could find more yards

482
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:14,200
Speaker 1: on punt returns.

483
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 21: We're leaving too many yards out there, especially in the

484
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 21: return game, so that's going to be a big emphasis

485
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 21: for us moving forward.

486
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:23,639
Speaker 7: How much time is a.

487
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,160
Speaker 10: Special teams coach then during the leak check in the forecast?

488
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:31,200
Speaker 14: Not too much. It can vary here a lot, you know,

489
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 14: with the weather, so you don't really know until the

490
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:35,400
Speaker 14: day of the game.

491
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 21: And in Cleveland, I think that you're going to get

492
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 21: a variety of weather patterns even during a game, so

493
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,160
Speaker 21: we're prepared for for everything.

494
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 14: We practice outside. We've been in all the elements.

495
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 7: About that forty nine special teams?

496
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:54,119
Speaker 11: Can you repeat that?

497
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:58,119
Speaker 7: What stands out to you about the special teams?

498
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:02,639
Speaker 21: They play hard, they've I would say, they're pretty pretty

499
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 21: basic in their schemes, and they execute well. They have

500
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:08,200
Speaker 21: a really good player in George Odom, who I coached

501
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 21: in Indianapolis, was an All pro from me, very very

502
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 21: instinctive player that finds his way to the ball, tough, competitive,

503
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 21: one of my favorite guys I've I've coached, So he's

504
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 21: gonna be a guy that we're gonna have to stop.

505
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 10: What's your philosophy on side kicks?

506
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 7: Can they still be executed?

507
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:31,399
Speaker 14: The state agine they can still be executed.

508
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:34,119
Speaker 21: It's it's definitely harder to get the ball, especially with

509
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 21: no run up to the line of scrimmage. You know,

510
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:40,440
Speaker 21: everyone's got to be static. There can't be any you know,

511
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:45,679
Speaker 21: motions or shifts or anythings like that. It's it's definitely

512
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 21: harder to get the ball. But I'm always I'm a

513
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 21: fan of you know, why why are we trying to

514
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:57,680
Speaker 21: let the team that's losing back in the game, Like

515
00:21:58,160 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 21: you should have did more work earlier in the game,

516
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:03,120
Speaker 21: and we shouldn't be trying to give the team that's

517
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 21: losing the ball back. That's I mean, as far as

518
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 21: like the rules go, like do more work early in

519
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:10,680
Speaker 21: the game.

520
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 14: That way, you're not in that situation.

521
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 6: Tried any in.

522
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:20,200
Speaker 21: Your career astor tried any on site kicks? Oh yeah, yeah,

523
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 21: we tried. I mean we've hit, we've hit a few

524
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 21: in Indie, we practice them a lot. So I mean

525
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 21: there's a variety of kicks you can use. There's there's

526
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 21: not a ton of I would say there's really two

527
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:35,959
Speaker 21: different types of looks you can get as far as

528
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,119
Speaker 21: a return team in that because you can only have

529
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 21: so many.

530
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 14: Players in the box.

531
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,880
Speaker 21: But yeah, I mean we're always we're prepared for those

532
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,359
Speaker 21: situations on the recovery and and if we have to,

533
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 21: if we had to kick one.

534
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 19: So if you don't like the idea of letting the

535
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,680
Speaker 19: other team back in the game, did you like the

536
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:56,919
Speaker 19: rule change that makes it more difficult to uh recover

537
00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:59,680
Speaker 19: out sidekick orphy?

538
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 14: They took well the role.

539
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:04,200
Speaker 21: The role change makes it supposed to make it a

540
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:06,359
Speaker 21: little bit easier to recover because there's less players in

541
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 21: the box, so you have to have one that that

542
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 21: that other guy out of the setup zone outside of

543
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:15,119
Speaker 21: the forty yard line. He can't he can't enter the

544
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:18,680
Speaker 21: setup zone until the ball's contacted. So they're trying to

545
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 21: make it they're trying to have more recoveries there. What

546
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 21: I'm saying is, you know, we shouldn't be trying to

547
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:27,880
Speaker 21: find ways to get the team that's losing the ball back.

548
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 14: That's my opinion.

549
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:34,120
Speaker 7: We last resort, it's still the useful play.

550
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean yeah, I think that. I think the

551
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 14: play as it is is great.

552
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 21: I don't think we should be even thinking about going

553
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 21: to like fourth and fifteen, Like that's dumb to me.

554
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 14: It really is, like why are we trying to give

555
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:51,199
Speaker 14: the team that's losing the ball back so.

556
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:56,359
Speaker 7: But leaving too many yards that day to return? Are

557
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 7: you trying to both?

558
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:02,640
Speaker 21: No, I think I think specifically the punt return unit. Yeah,

559
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 21: just decision making we just haven't we've had we haven't

560
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:10,719
Speaker 21: maximized our our yardage there.

561
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 14: We really haven't.

562
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 21: I think, you know, being more aggressive to get downhill,

563
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 21: decisions to field the ball, things like that. So we

564
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 21: we're definitely that's a that's been a big emphasis and

565
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:27,200
Speaker 21: we're our guys are going to be ready to rock.

566
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 7: I think last time you said you still thought.

567
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,639
Speaker 21: Yeah, And I think that he can still you know,

568
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:39,639
Speaker 21: be the guy. But he understands and we understand that

569
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:41,439
Speaker 21: we need to we need to be better. We need

570
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:43,640
Speaker 21: to we need to set up on the ball better,

571
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 21: we need to attack coverage better, we need to understand

572
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:50,880
Speaker 21: what the scheme is calling for. So and understand their

573
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:54,120
Speaker 21: personnel and where we're trying to attack. So I think

574
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 21: we have a better understanding what we want to get

575
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 21: accomplished in this, you know, the next three quarters of.

576
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 7: The season, if you looked at anyone else for that job, I.

577
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 21: Mean, Elijah has done it. We have some guys on

578
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,119
Speaker 21: the on the practice squad that have done it. So

579
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 21: you know, we're always i mean, the personal department does

580
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:13,440
Speaker 21: a great job being able to give us players to

581
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:17,399
Speaker 21: work with and there's always you're always have those lists.

582
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:18,919
Speaker 14: Out there for guys that you know you have an

583
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 14: eye on.

584
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:23,399
Speaker 21: So Donovan's done a good job setting up you know,

585
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 21: on the ball and catching it when he when he

586
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 21: when he does catch it, so he's got to do

587
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 21: a better job of getting downhill.

588
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 2: Is one of the best in the league, you know,

589
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 2: kind of pinning guys, pitting teams inside them. You know what,

590
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 2: talk about that skill if he could that he possesses it,

591
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 2: you know, harnessing that and you know, developing that skill.

592
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 14: Yeah, I think you know, he's done a tremendous job.

593
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 21: You know, in practice with the practice reps, we worked

594
00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 21: out on Thursdays, uh to start practice, so our gunners

595
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:04,440
Speaker 21: get out there and you know, give him the best,

596
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 21: the best shot to get it down inside the ten.

597
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 21: We've missed some opportunities early in the season in those

598
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:14,360
Speaker 21: in those chances, so hopefully we can capitalize on those

599
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 21: moving forward.

600
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 14: But no, Corey's done a great job overall.

601
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:22,640
Speaker 22: Thanks so much.

602
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 13: Personnel has obviously changed for you guys, especially in training

603
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 13: camp in the early part of the season. Like I

604
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 13: know Andrew talked about last week, with the bye week

605
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,680
Speaker 13: coming that early is is never really super great, but

606
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:35,360
Speaker 13: did it just kind of give you guys a chance

607
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 13: to catch your breath in this phase of the game

608
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 13: and just reassess everything.

609
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:40,119
Speaker 7: Having that week off.

610
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 21: Yeah, And honestly, like in my opinion, like I feel,

611
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:46,679
Speaker 21: I'm glad that we had to buy when we did.

612
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:50,160
Speaker 21: It enabled me to go back look at the first

613
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 21: four games. Okay, we're the areas we really need to

614
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 21: improve in and why we haven't had you know, we

615
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:01,960
Speaker 21: haven't been bad, you know, we haven't. You know, I'm

616
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 21: not going to say what we've done well and what

617
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 21: we haven't.

618
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 14: But we can definitely be a lot better.

619
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 21: We can be a lot better on teams, and like

620
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:13,479
Speaker 21: my expectations for this unit is we haven't even scraped

621
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 21: the surface at all, and I anticipate our players are

622
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 21: going to come out the next three quarters of the

623
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:22,919
Speaker 21: season and play a lot better in every phase.

624
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 5: We're to do in those first.

625
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,159
Speaker 12: Four games, how do you feel like the guys have

626
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,880
Speaker 12: maybe responded to your special team's philosophy or what you're

627
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 12: trying to get them to do through those first four games.

628
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 21: I think we've done a good job with you know,

629
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 21: our footwork in a lot of the in pretty much

630
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 21: every phase.

631
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 14: I think that that's been good.

632
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:49,959
Speaker 21: I think everyone is, you know, the more that we're together,

633
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,480
Speaker 21: the more meetings we have, the more practice reps we have,

634
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 21: guys are just starting to get it.

635
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 14: Like it just feels like now like.

636
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:01,479
Speaker 21: After the bye, we're back, We're in meetings, we're at

637
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 21: the walk through yesterday, we're running our our kick returns

638
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:09,440
Speaker 21: and aren't going through our punt stuff, and it just

639
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 21: feels like guys are starting to get it. And I

640
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:15,440
Speaker 21: looked around and I'm like, we look like a you

641
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:20,160
Speaker 21: know what football team finally, So I think that those

642
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:23,479
Speaker 21: guys and look, it's you're you're taking on a new

643
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 21: defensive scheme, you're taking on a new kicking games scheme,

644
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 21: it's going to take time, and it's taken enough time

645
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 21: and we're ready to You know what.

646
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:42,960
Speaker 7: Dustin Hopkins, before he got here, he was hit only.

647
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 19: Kicks beyond fifty years three for three now. But is

648
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 19: something happened to make him more accurate there? Or have

649
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 19: you helped him do something or no?

650
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 21: I think I talked about a handful of times already

651
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 21: with you guys. Just he's done a good job. He

652
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 21: Corey and and Charlie have gotten on the same page fast.

653
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 21: The operation has been really good. So that's been that

654
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 21: always helps. That always helps the kicker whenever the operation

655
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 21: can be smooth. And he's done it, you know, to

656
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 21: his credit, he's done a really good job of finishing

657
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 21: on the ball, getting through the kick, and he's got

658
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 21: plenty of leg strength to hit it from any distance.

659
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 21: You know, the accuracy three for three hopefully ends up

660
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 21: being ten for ten. Hopefully we don't need to hit

661
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 21: fifty yard kicks, but when we have the opportunity to

662
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:35,640
Speaker 21: do so, he's gonna hit him.

663
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 10: Sure you were on Manini's team when you went to

664
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 10: New Orleans and won that game.

665
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 21: Yeah, yeah, Do you have a bag of tricks like that. Look,

666
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 21: we all have bags of tricks. It's when you're going

667
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 21: to use them, you know. Yeah in that game, geez,

668
00:29:56,800 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 21: I remember we ran h Reggie Hodges had had a

669
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 21: had to sneak up the middle for like was it

670
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 21: seventy five?

671
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 5: Yeah?

672
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 14: I remember, I was.

673
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 21: I was playing wing and I had to and as

674
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:12,479
Speaker 21: you know, a block of my guy outside and then

675
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 21: I'm running down the field and looking at the play. Later,

676
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 21: like years later, I blocked Jimmy Graham, who was playing

677
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 21: on special teams that year. Then we threw what else

678
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 21: do we run in that game? Cribs had to throw

679
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 21: back to Eric Wright and then David Bones had like

680
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:32,720
Speaker 21: two defensive touchdowns in the game and we won, but

681
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 21: like three.

682
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 14: Or something like that. Yep.

683
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 5: Yeah.

684
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 21: From Brad, Yeah, Brad, I mean yeah, Brad is I mean,

685
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 21: I learned, you know, everything I know in the kicking

686
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 21: game from Brad and Bill. You know, so those guys.

687
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 21: Brad is a huge influence and a huge mentor for me.

688
00:30:57,640 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 21: You know, he brought and he I played for Brad

689
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 21: in New England, played from here, played from in San

690
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 21: Francisco for two years. Brad, He's a senior senior assistant

691
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 21: in Philly. He got hired there midseason, I think last year.

692
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 21: That's my last two years in San Francisco.

693
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:23,240
Speaker 7: Yes, you got to kind of process all that out.

694
00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 14: Yeah, there's going against your old team.

695
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 21: There's not a lot of pete, there's not a lot

696
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:32,800
Speaker 21: of of the same type of people there, So it's different.

697
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 14: You know, I feel it doesn't feel like the same

698
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 14: to me. I guess you would say, whereas.

699
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 21: Like when I went against when I coached against New England,

700
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 21: it was different because it's all the same, all the

701
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 21: same people. But yeah, I'm I'm excited for an opportunity

702
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 21: to go against a really good unit. You know, they

703
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 21: got a good young kicker, the specialists are talented. They

704
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 21: got a really good returner in McLeod. So we're gonna

705
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 21: have to do a good job in coverage versus team.

706
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 21: But emphasis on playing clean, making good decisions, playing aggressive.

707
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 21: You know, I think I think we have a tough unit.

708
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 21: I think we're I think we're tough mentally. I think

709
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 21: we're physically tough, and I just want to be able

710
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 21: to show that in the next three quarters of the season.

711
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 1: Offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt talked next and gave us

712
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 1: some insight into backup quarterback PJ. Walker and now Harris

713
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 1: and Bryant ended up becoming the designated QB sneaker on

714
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 1: fourth and short.

715
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 15: I know this is your job and you got to

716
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 15: juggle things when they're not sure who's going to be

717
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 15: playing quarterback.

718
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 7: How challenging has it been this week?

719
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 11: It's always you know it's challenging. Well, you're not sure

720
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:38,240
Speaker 11: for sure, but that's part of our business. There's nothing

721
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 11: new for any coaches. Roll with it and get your

722
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:43,400
Speaker 11: you know who's available, get those guys ready to go

723
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 11: and put a plan together and that hopefully makes them successful.

724
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 11: On Sunday, PG.

725
00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 7: Looked Kevin was saying yesterday there's grasping things.

726
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 11: And coming along with Yeah, it looks good. You know,

727
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 11: he throws the ball really well. I liked him coming

728
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 11: out when I was in Green Bay. We were talking

729
00:32:57,560 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 11: about our visit he had up to Green Bay earlier

730
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 11: before or the draft. I always thought he was a

731
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 11: really good quarterback, so I followed him through my time

732
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 11: of evaluating him in college and through his career. I

733
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:08,760
Speaker 11: think he does a nice job.

734
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 5: Are you sure he was playing quarterbacks something?

735
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 11: I don't think, So that's that's the thing that's up

736
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 11: in the air, but we'll see, you know. Obviously, if

737
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 11: Deshaun can make it, it'd be great, you know, and

738
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 11: if you can't, and then then PJ will be just fine.

739
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:25,040
Speaker 11: So we're ready for either scenario.

740
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 19: Make it any easier might not be the right word.

741
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:32,239
Speaker 19: But knowing you might be going with PJ rather than

742
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 19: that Baltimore game you.

743
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 11: Didn't know until Yeah, I think you know, it gives

744
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 11: a guy's opportunity to to you know, I have a

745
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 11: feeling maybe I'm going Sunday as a post. I'm not

746
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 11: sure right up into game time, so he'll he'll have time.

747
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 11: All of our guys should prepare as if they're starters.

748
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 11: That's kind of how we preach in the quarterback room.

749
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:50,960
Speaker 11: Everybody's starting this week, so everybody should be prepared equally.

750
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:53,760
Speaker 6: Probably don't want to go through what you guys went

751
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 6: through before the Ravens game, where it goes up to

752
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 6: game time and nobody really knows what's going on. Ideally,

753
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 6: in a perfect world, would you guys like to know

754
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 6: by Friday?

755
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 11: Yeah, marykay, I think that's probably a Kevin question, you know,

756
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:10,440
Speaker 11: I mean, earlier the better, the later, it's not you know,

757
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 11: however it plays out, obviously, we're gonna give him every

758
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:15,400
Speaker 11: chance to make it, you know, to the game. But

759
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:18,360
Speaker 11: you know, that's a Kevin question and.

760
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:20,400
Speaker 6: Maybe you can't answer this one either though. I mean,

761
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:22,880
Speaker 6: have you seen situations or maybe you've even done it

762
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 6: for yourself where you don't really practice during the week

763
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:28,080
Speaker 6: and you can get it still get out there on Sunday.

764
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:28,760
Speaker 5: And be effective.

765
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 11: Yeah, plenty of times. Plenty of times veterans, especially guys

766
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:34,960
Speaker 11: with experience. You know, it's always great to have a

767
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:37,239
Speaker 11: week of practice. But you know, guys that have been

768
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:39,120
Speaker 11: there and done that. I've seen those guys step on

769
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:40,719
Speaker 11: the field and play without practice for sure.

770
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:43,600
Speaker 16: Because if it's an issue where you know he has

771
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 16: in practice now for those three three, the third a

772
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:49,320
Speaker 16: third week.

773
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:52,080
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, it's going to take him some time to

774
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 7: kind of react with him.

775
00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 4: If it's three, four or five weeks of practice.

776
00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 11: Got to get him going, got to get him going

777
00:34:58,680 --> 00:34:59,920
Speaker 11: so soon as you can get back and be out

778
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:03,320
Speaker 11: there and be available. He's doing everything he can, you know,

779
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:06,480
Speaker 11: in the rehab process. It's just tough for him. He's

780
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:08,359
Speaker 11: a thrower, you know, and it's a shoulder injury. It's

781
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:10,279
Speaker 11: like you wouldn't put a running back out there on

782
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:11,920
Speaker 11: the field if you couldn't run full speed. So it's

783
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:13,479
Speaker 11: kind of just got to wait till that thing gets

784
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 11: healed up. And he feels good about it, and we

785
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:17,759
Speaker 11: all feel good about it. But you know he's doing

786
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:20,359
Speaker 11: everything he can. He's gonna have to you know, we'll

787
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:22,480
Speaker 11: have to catch up, but we're not waiting. We've got

788
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:22,680
Speaker 11: to go.

789
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:24,560
Speaker 7: How is Dorian responded?

790
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:27,759
Speaker 11: Great? Yeah, he's a team guy all the way through.

791
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:31,760
Speaker 11: You know, I wish he'd had a better experience on Sunday,

792
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:35,000
Speaker 11: but it's a learning experience for him. You know, he's

793
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:39,440
Speaker 11: got a great bright future moving forward. But you know, uh,

794
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:41,200
Speaker 11: he's taking it like a champ. He's going to do

795
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:44,319
Speaker 11: everything to help PJ or Deshaun get Ready, whoever goes

796
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 11: this this Sunday. But you know he's learning how to

797
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:49,880
Speaker 11: be a pro. And but the air is still up.

798
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:54,560
Speaker 19: When you played, Now, did you have any had a

799
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:57,359
Speaker 19: shoulder injury that you try to play through or yeah?

800
00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:01,439
Speaker 11: Multiple? Yeah, I've had multiple shoulders AC reconstruction I played

801
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 11: with late in the season, but it took me about

802
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:05,240
Speaker 11: six or eight weeks to get back from an AC separation.

803
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:08,959
Speaker 11: I played through that, I played through some some other things.

804
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:11,879
Speaker 11: But it's not it's not fun. You know, when you're

805
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:13,879
Speaker 11: you're living, it's throwing the football and you can't throw

806
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:15,719
Speaker 11: it how you're used to throwing. It's it's tough. So

807
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:18,200
Speaker 11: it'll take some time. But when he's ready, he'll be

808
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:18,719
Speaker 11: ready to roll.

809
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 22: Last week you said that you be kind of surprised

810
00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 22: at the Shan didn't play against the Ravens, and now

811
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 22: we don't.

812
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 7: Even know if he's gonna be playing this Sunday.

813
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:28,960
Speaker 5: Is that kind of a window to maybe.

814
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:32,480
Speaker 11: This injury is getting worse or that's a trainer question,

815
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:34,919
Speaker 11: that's a Deshaun question. I mean from what I'm hearing,

816
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:36,880
Speaker 11: is he's better every day, you know, going in the

817
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:37,400
Speaker 11: right direction.

818
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 9: Yeah, has a run through at dto has a run right,

819
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:44,800
Speaker 9: he did the same ability that skill.

820
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:47,600
Speaker 11: Set yeah, sure absolutely, you know that's that's probably why

821
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:49,439
Speaker 11: he's here. You know you feel some of that skill

822
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:50,000
Speaker 11: set as well.

823
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:52,440
Speaker 13: So when you talked about like watching when he was

824
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:54,680
Speaker 13: in college and stuff, what stood out to you back

825
00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:55,080
Speaker 13: then when you.

826
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:55,719
Speaker 7: First wear a value.

827
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:57,799
Speaker 11: Yeah, he's a good thrower and natural thrower. I think

828
00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 11: his mechanics are really good. His feet are really good.

829
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:02,920
Speaker 11: You know, he listens to his feet, he's in a

830
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:05,239
Speaker 11: rhythm and and and throws with rhythm. In the past game,

831
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:06,840
Speaker 11: a lot of things that I look for in quarterbacks,

832
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:08,879
Speaker 11: and he was a guy that really stood out. I'm like, Okay,

833
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:11,040
Speaker 11: this guy has a lot of the things that I like.

834
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:14,239
Speaker 6: He you know, it looks like there's a chance that

835
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:17,080
Speaker 6: Joel Antonio might not be able to play this game.

836
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:20,640
Speaker 6: You know, obviously one hundred and two straight games has

837
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 6: a snap. What impact would it have on you if

838
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:25,399
Speaker 6: you don't have Joel out there?

839
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:27,920
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean we're gonna the next man up mentality,

840
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:30,640
Speaker 11: as you know. You know, if he doesn't make it,

841
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:34,400
Speaker 11: then we'll fill a spot anytime you miss a Pro

842
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 11: Bowl player. Obviously it's a big hole to fill, you know,

843
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:38,879
Speaker 11: but we'll do a good job getting the guys ready

844
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:39,760
Speaker 11: if he's not available.

845
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:42,800
Speaker 9: That's I know, you guys kind a lovely off season

846
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:45,440
Speaker 9: trying to get an explosive place to asking like this,

847
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 9: there you struggled with last year, right, and.

848
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:51,080
Speaker 7: It hasn't been great so far. How do you go

849
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:52,799
Speaker 7: about fixing fixing tea?

850
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:54,960
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean think you just got to keep keep

851
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:56,719
Speaker 11: your nose to the grindstone on that and just keep

852
00:37:56,760 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 11: you know, coming up with scheme and to push the

853
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:01,239
Speaker 11: ball down the field, finding ways to get guys open

854
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:05,239
Speaker 11: and finding explosives out there. This tough. This defense is tough.

855
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 11: They don't give up a lot of explosives, so you know,

856
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:10,239
Speaker 11: they make you earn the whole then earn your way

857
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:12,640
Speaker 11: down the field. So we'll see how it goes this weekend.

858
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 11: But you know, we're always looking for explosives. We have

859
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:17,960
Speaker 11: them up every week. A lot of it's just, you know,

860
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:19,680
Speaker 11: it's it's the luck of the call too. You're calling

861
00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:21,879
Speaker 11: a play that's built for this coverage, hoping to get

862
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:23,520
Speaker 11: it that they've played, and then they show a different

863
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:25,680
Speaker 11: coverage and you're checking the ball down. So a lot

864
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 11: of those decisions are made by how the defense plays

865
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:30,080
Speaker 11: as well. But they're definitely, you know, they're definitely on

866
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:30,960
Speaker 11: the call sheet each week.

867
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:33,440
Speaker 7: Are sure is a big part of it. Scheme and

868
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:35,800
Speaker 7: open and part is just kind of going throwing a

869
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 7: guy whereas they want to want to beat your guy. Absolutely,

870
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:39,759
Speaker 7: it is a balance.

871
00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:42,719
Speaker 11: Between definitely, it definitely is a balance. You know, we

872
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 11: will give our guys opportunities to go make plays when

873
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:47,440
Speaker 11: they're in one on one matchups.

874
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:49,799
Speaker 15: Some time during the buyer trying to figure out how

875
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 15: to maybe get Tillman and Good when more involved.

876
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 7: It feels like they've kind of been underutilized him.

877
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:57,239
Speaker 11: Yeah, I think that that, you know, especially with said

878
00:38:57,239 --> 00:38:59,359
Speaker 11: as a rookie, you know, kind of finding his way through.

879
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:03,439
Speaker 11: Definitely talked about it, you know, in the bye week

880
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:05,959
Speaker 11: of maybe spreading some reps around some other guys.

881
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:09,920
Speaker 4: Defense that you know, forces a lot of turnovers and

882
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:13,239
Speaker 4: ball security. It was a big topic of the conversation

883
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:17,319
Speaker 4: during the bye week and just I guess you're going

884
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:19,120
Speaker 4: into a game not knowing who your quarterback is.

885
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:23,120
Speaker 7: And face is such a formidable defense.

886
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:26,759
Speaker 4: Just what do you do this week to emphasize ball

887
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:28,360
Speaker 4: security because it just feels.

888
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:30,600
Speaker 7: Like that's just going to be so big critical.

889
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 11: For you guys on stee Absolutely, it's the number one

890
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:35,560
Speaker 11: objective of this games to come out with zero giveaways.

891
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:38,759
Speaker 11: And it's been talked about already this week and be

892
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:40,560
Speaker 11: talked about all the way up until game time. So

893
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:43,160
Speaker 11: we'll give our chance, ourselves a chance to win when

894
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:45,279
Speaker 11: we don't turn the ball over period, you know, And

895
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:48,320
Speaker 11: that's a good defense. Sure, but you know, regardless of

896
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:49,960
Speaker 11: who's playing, we can hold out of the ball and

897
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:51,800
Speaker 11: we can make good decisions from a quarterback position.

898
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:56,200
Speaker 19: Kevin said that, Yeah, one of the one of the

899
00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:59,920
Speaker 19: goals is to get more of from the run offense.

900
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:03,320
Speaker 7: So it's easy to say that's what you want to do,

901
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:04,160
Speaker 7: but how do you do it.

902
00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:07,719
Speaker 11: You know, we have good coaches. Obviously, our scheme, we

903
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:10,279
Speaker 11: gotta scheme them. Our guys got to play well, we

904
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:12,080
Speaker 11: got to block them, we got to run. There's nothing,

905
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:15,000
Speaker 11: not real magic to it. We've had some good looks.

906
00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:17,400
Speaker 11: There should be more there in the run game. We

907
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 11: expect to be better in the run game than we

908
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 11: have been the last few weeks. And I think you

909
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:22,920
Speaker 11: know our history here is we can run the football.

910
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:26,120
Speaker 11: So just getting back on track there with the run game. Obviously,

911
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:28,320
Speaker 11: losing Nick is a big part of that. You know,

912
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:30,560
Speaker 11: a lot of yards after contact, broke a lot of tackles,

913
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:33,480
Speaker 11: did a lot of things. You know, superhuman that Nick is.

914
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 11: So finding a way to get those replacement yards and

915
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:38,120
Speaker 11: we just got to be more diligent in the run

916
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 11: game and it'll work a little harder.

917
00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:43,920
Speaker 21: You said, been a big team names throughout this but

918
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:47,080
Speaker 21: as a rookie quarterback and took a shot to his confidence.

919
00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:49,959
Speaker 7: You know, that's how do you as confidence.

920
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:52,239
Speaker 22: Of affordator kind of you know, bring them along and

921
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:53,920
Speaker 22: just try to lose his confidence back.

922
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:57,359
Speaker 11: Really, it's just you know, I've been there. I've thrown

923
00:40:57,360 --> 00:40:59,920
Speaker 11: the interceptions in games and gotten taken out and replace.

924
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:02,359
Speaker 11: So I've been there, I've lived it. Uh, just telling

925
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:04,040
Speaker 11: him it's just part of the learning process. You know,

926
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:06,120
Speaker 11: as a young player, I did the same thing. You know,

927
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:08,319
Speaker 11: then you got to earn the coaches trust to get

928
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:10,799
Speaker 11: back in there and and and and get an opportunity again.

929
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:13,040
Speaker 11: But he will, and that's that's a positive thing. He's

930
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:15,160
Speaker 11: not taking it as a negative. He's taken as a

931
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:16,240
Speaker 11: learning experience.

932
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:19,600
Speaker 2: The one that's gonna make his fourth start and uh

933
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 2: he starts with TJ. Wise, Yeah, gets Nick Bosa this week.

934
00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:24,919
Speaker 17: Lead.

935
00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:27,759
Speaker 7: Just you know, how is he sort of you seen

936
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:29,840
Speaker 7: him sort of respond to these kind of challenges.

937
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:32,120
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean he's he's not back down from anybody.

938
00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:33,840
Speaker 11: You know, he's a he's a big man in his

939
00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:35,480
Speaker 11: own right. He can hold his own on the edge.

940
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:38,239
Speaker 11: He's done a good job, especially in past protection. But

941
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:41,040
Speaker 11: he's still again another a rookie that's in there that's

942
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:44,480
Speaker 11: learning all the nuances of playing tackle in the NFL.

943
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:47,080
Speaker 11: But we continue to get better each week. I think

944
00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:48,080
Speaker 11: we'll be in good shape there.

945
00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:51,120
Speaker 6: What concern is Jerome's knee injury?

946
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:52,600
Speaker 3: Is you guys headed to the games?

947
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:55,279
Speaker 11: None no.

948
00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:00,719
Speaker 7: Defense built around the front four of you guys?

949
00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 4: What kind of challenge is that for offensive line that

950
00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:05,200
Speaker 4: it's up to about.

951
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:08,040
Speaker 11: Yeah, that's a really good group, there's no doubt about it.

952
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:10,360
Speaker 11: Probably one of the top front sevens in the NFL,

953
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:12,919
Speaker 11: if not the you know, they're big, they're strong, they're long.

954
00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:16,000
Speaker 11: The front four is awesome, you know, Fred Warner is,

955
00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:19,480
Speaker 11: in my opinion, when the top two linebackers in the

956
00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:22,920
Speaker 11: league playing an extremely high level. So huge challenge for us.

957
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:25,040
Speaker 11: We talked about challenges early in the week, this being

958
00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:27,279
Speaker 11: one of them. But it's also an opportunity. You know,

959
00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:28,719
Speaker 11: we get to go out and play these guys and

960
00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:30,800
Speaker 11: give it our best effort. But that's a good defense

961
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:33,719
Speaker 11: and we know we have a challenge ahead of us. Again,

962
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:36,040
Speaker 11: but just encourage these guys, look at the opportunity. We've

963
00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:37,919
Speaker 11: got some chances. We're gonna have chances to make some plays,

964
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:40,280
Speaker 11: we got to make them earlier.

965
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:43,960
Speaker 12: Shaun Watson shoulder injury presents. But how much of it

966
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:46,200
Speaker 12: has been maybe a learning experience for you guys too,

967
00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:49,520
Speaker 12: with the way that that injury doesn't have a set timetable,

968
00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:51,320
Speaker 12: it's just kind of waiting around. How much has that

969
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:53,920
Speaker 12: helped you guys kind of figure out game planning around that.

970
00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:55,400
Speaker 11: Yeah, I think it helps a little bit. But I

971
00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:57,520
Speaker 11: mean that's that's the nature of all injuries, you know,

972
00:42:57,600 --> 00:42:59,399
Speaker 11: in the NFL, it may be a week, it could

973
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:02,160
Speaker 11: be linger to three, could you know, for everybody, not

974
00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:05,240
Speaker 11: just to Sean. So just being able to be flexible

975
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:08,120
Speaker 11: and again putting your guys whoever's available in the best

976
00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:11,360
Speaker 11: positions to win is what we're focused on. Alice, How

977
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:15,319
Speaker 11: helpful is how Mary who were communicates with the quarter

978
00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:18,520
Speaker 11: exposition with PJ as he's gone through taking up to

979
00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:20,520
Speaker 11: sweet but like just kind of their their.

980
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:21,560
Speaker 5: Communication staffs do.

981
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:23,239
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean it has to be great, you know,

982
00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:25,440
Speaker 11: they have to you know, be on the same page.

983
00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:27,680
Speaker 11: You know, how are we going to attack certain coverages,

984
00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:30,240
Speaker 11: certain corners, things like that, And that's always a conversation

985
00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:32,480
Speaker 11: that goes right up through the game, you know, and

986
00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:35,319
Speaker 11: doesn't until after the game on Sunday, but very good

987
00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:38,759
Speaker 11: Tomorrow's really good at his communication, brings clean, good communication.

988
00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:41,239
Speaker 11: When he says something, you know it is what it is.

989
00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:44,640
Speaker 11: So just keeping that line of communication open all the

990
00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:45,279
Speaker 11: way through the game.

991
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:49,880
Speaker 7: Land on Harrison Bryant as your designated sneaker.

992
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:54,480
Speaker 11: Drew Straws, you know, I don't know. You know, he's

993
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:57,399
Speaker 11: done some emergency stuff on Saturdays for us, and thought

994
00:43:57,440 --> 00:43:59,240
Speaker 11: that he gave us an opportunity to get a bigger

995
00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:00,879
Speaker 11: body in there that could push the pile and take

996
00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:01,239
Speaker 11: the snap.

997
00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:06,360
Speaker 19: Speak on the toughness that there is such on to

998
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:09,000
Speaker 19: Shaun Watson, because we're told.

999
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:13,800
Speaker 7: That he's clear and medically to play, yet.

1000
00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:15,560
Speaker 5: He's not playing, so it.

1001
00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:20,400
Speaker 7: Seems like he's on the service that that question that I.

1002
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:23,279
Speaker 11: Would never ever ever doubt his toughness. Never, I would

1003
00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:25,319
Speaker 11: never doubt his toughness. I've seen him play, I've seen

1004
00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:29,200
Speaker 11: him do some amazing things, fight through things. That is

1005
00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:32,480
Speaker 11: not the issue at all, whatsoever. You know, again, if

1006
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:34,200
Speaker 11: I'm a running back and I can't run full speed,

1007
00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:35,640
Speaker 11: I don't know if I'm gonna be able to make it.

1008
00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:39,160
Speaker 11: I might be cleared medically, but I can't operate, you know,

1009
00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:41,520
Speaker 11: with my strength, which is my legs as a runner,

1010
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:43,680
Speaker 11: so same as a thrower. For him, I would never

1011
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:46,680
Speaker 11: ever ever doubt his toughness. He's tough his Nails's a

1012
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:48,960
Speaker 11: concerning part of all this is that you know that

1013
00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:52,120
Speaker 11: he's played for so much and being held out. No,

1014
00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:55,600
Speaker 11: I mean it's an injury, and he's playing through an injury.

1015
00:44:55,600 --> 00:44:57,319
Speaker 11: He's trying to get better, he's getting better each week,

1016
00:44:57,320 --> 00:45:02,080
Speaker 11: and it's an injury to his main weapon is throwing circle.

1017
00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:04,439
Speaker 11: So we'll we'll, we'll get him back when he's ready.

1018
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:06,880
Speaker 11: Hopefully it's sooner than later. But I would never ever

1019
00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:09,239
Speaker 11: think he you know, if he can play, he's gonna play.

1020
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:10,240
Speaker 11: He's a fierce competitor.

1021
00:45:10,719 --> 00:45:12,520
Speaker 7: I feel there's you.

1022
00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:15,560
Speaker 4: Know, a lot of conversation about the Eagles brotherly shove

1023
00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:18,080
Speaker 4: there where they just kind of pile on the quarterback

1024
00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:19,200
Speaker 4: and shove forward.

1025
00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:22,720
Speaker 7: What what's your thoughts on on that play?

1026
00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:24,440
Speaker 19: Is it safe?

1027
00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:27,960
Speaker 5: And is that something that you you have looked.

1028
00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:29,920
Speaker 7: At that you think might work here too?

1029
00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:32,520
Speaker 11: Yeah, No, we've discussed it, and I think analytics would

1030
00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:34,360
Speaker 11: tell you it's not that much more successful than a

1031
00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:39,000
Speaker 11: regular sneak, you know, it's it's new obviously, but as

1032
00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:40,839
Speaker 11: more data comes back on and I'm not sure where

1033
00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:43,680
Speaker 11: the injuries lie on those types of sneaks, but I

1034
00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:46,280
Speaker 11: think we've been pretty effective here just sneaking it normally.

1035
00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:50,200
Speaker 1: He always entertaining. Jim Schwartz wrapped up the day at

1036
00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:53,520
Speaker 1: the podium, and our defensive coordinator talked about what the

1037
00:45:53,719 --> 00:45:56,680
Speaker 1: challenges are in the forty nine ers offense and what

1038
00:45:56,840 --> 00:45:59,279
Speaker 1: he thought went wrong with the defense two weeks ago

1039
00:45:59,360 --> 00:45:59,960
Speaker 1: in Baltimore.

1040
00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:03,680
Speaker 22: Tell me about the the challengship lies ahead and chess

1041
00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:07,799
Speaker 22: matches your Yeah, you know, I think a little bit

1042
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:11,120
Speaker 22: as too much is made of chess matches. I play

1043
00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:13,680
Speaker 22: a little bit of chess, and you know, the pieces

1044
00:46:13,680 --> 00:46:16,840
Speaker 22: always move exactly where they're supposed to move, right, you know.

1045
00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:20,080
Speaker 22: I mean you you think you got checkmate, but your

1046
00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:23,080
Speaker 22: queen comes up on one space short, you know.

1047
00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:24,320
Speaker 11: So there's a human.

1048
00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:26,520
Speaker 22: Element to the whole thing, and you know, we're just

1049
00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:29,480
Speaker 22: trying to put our players in the best position to

1050
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:32,920
Speaker 22: be able to make plays. But certainly have a lot

1051
00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:35,560
Speaker 22: of respect for Kyle going against him for a long time,

1052
00:46:35,640 --> 00:46:38,799
Speaker 22: I think maybe two thousand and seven, two thousand and eight,

1053
00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:40,560
Speaker 22: when I was with the Titans might have been the

1054
00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:46,040
Speaker 22: first time he was down in Houston, and he's I

1055
00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:51,000
Speaker 22: think my greatest compliment to two coaches is that they

1056
00:46:51,239 --> 00:46:54,960
Speaker 22: evolve over time. And I think that you know, what

1057
00:46:55,360 --> 00:46:58,520
Speaker 22: we defended back, you know, in two thousand and eight

1058
00:46:58,680 --> 00:47:01,080
Speaker 22: was a little bit different. And you know, for Houston,

1059
00:47:01,160 --> 00:47:04,040
Speaker 22: what he did in Washington, what he did in Cleveland, here,

1060
00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:07,200
Speaker 22: what he did in Atlanta, and what he's doing in

1061
00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:10,279
Speaker 22: San Francisco. And he does a good job of of

1062
00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:16,440
Speaker 22: of scheming for his players, and I think that's probably

1063
00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:19,040
Speaker 22: the biggest thing. You know, You're you're not out there

1064
00:47:19,120 --> 00:47:21,399
Speaker 22: trying to stop a play caller. You're out there trying

1065
00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:24,160
Speaker 22: to stop his players. And we're gonna have a work

1066
00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:28,160
Speaker 22: cutout for him. They're very very efficient offense. They run

1067
00:47:28,239 --> 00:47:30,320
Speaker 22: the ball as well as they pass it. They're not

1068
00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:34,440
Speaker 22: a one dimensional team. You know, they can make big plays.

1069
00:47:34,520 --> 00:47:37,080
Speaker 22: They can also throw short passes and run after the catch.

1070
00:47:37,120 --> 00:47:39,600
Speaker 22: They got a lot of outstanding run after the catch players.

1071
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:43,960
Speaker 22: You know, whoever it is, Samuel and McCaffrey and Debo,

1072
00:47:44,680 --> 00:47:47,279
Speaker 22: you know, you know, I saw a stat this week

1073
00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:51,400
Speaker 22: where they have one of the shortest depth of route.

1074
00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:52,880
Speaker 11: In the whole NFL.

1075
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:54,840
Speaker 22: But they lead the NFL or their second in the

1076
00:47:54,960 --> 00:47:58,320
Speaker 22: NFL in yards per pass. So it tells you that

1077
00:47:58,520 --> 00:48:02,200
Speaker 22: short passes are creating longer plays. So we're gonna tackle, well,

1078
00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:03,719
Speaker 22: we're gonna tackle a lot better than we could it

1079
00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:06,320
Speaker 22: against the Ravens. That was That was a big That

1080
00:48:06,440 --> 00:48:07,600
Speaker 22: was a big part of that game.

1081
00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:11,479
Speaker 7: You you've seen this offensive z over the years.

1082
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:14,120
Speaker 10: Is this the best supporting cast he's had.

1083
00:48:15,719 --> 00:48:17,480
Speaker 22: I don't know, Atlanta, he had a pretty good He

1084
00:48:17,520 --> 00:48:19,480
Speaker 22: had a pretty good cast with you know, Julio and

1085
00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:22,040
Speaker 22: Matt Ryan and you know a lot of other guys

1086
00:48:22,080 --> 00:48:25,600
Speaker 22: in their snow and I don't know he's had. He's

1087
00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:28,720
Speaker 22: had a lot of good players. This this group stands alone.

1088
00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:33,200
Speaker 22: Every every group every year stand stand alone. But I

1089
00:48:33,280 --> 00:48:36,239
Speaker 22: think that probably the biggest thing that that stands out

1090
00:48:36,440 --> 00:48:40,520
Speaker 22: is they have so many multipurpose players, multi position players.

1091
00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:44,280
Speaker 22: I think a common thing is people say positionless players.

1092
00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:47,640
Speaker 22: These guys aren't positionless. You know, they have multi positions.

1093
00:48:48,320 --> 00:48:50,600
Speaker 22: You know, McCaffrey can be a wide out, he can

1094
00:48:50,640 --> 00:48:52,640
Speaker 22: be a running back. Deebo can be a wide out,

1095
00:48:52,680 --> 00:48:55,719
Speaker 22: he can be a running back. You know, Kittle can

1096
00:48:55,800 --> 00:48:57,799
Speaker 22: be a tight end, he can be a wide out.

1097
00:48:59,120 --> 00:49:01,040
Speaker 22: Just look, can be a full back, he can be

1098
00:49:01,080 --> 00:49:02,200
Speaker 22: a tight end, he can be.

1099
00:49:02,239 --> 00:49:02,799
Speaker 5: A wide out.

1100
00:49:03,120 --> 00:49:06,400
Speaker 22: He can carry the ball, you know. So you know

1101
00:49:06,480 --> 00:49:08,640
Speaker 22: they put a lot of they put a lot of

1102
00:49:09,880 --> 00:49:12,799
Speaker 22: of I don't I want to say stress, but they

1103
00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:15,839
Speaker 22: put They make it where you just can't defend one thing.

1104
00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:18,320
Speaker 22: They can be in twenty one personnel, two backs, a

1105
00:49:18,360 --> 00:49:20,880
Speaker 22: tight end, and two wideouts, and they can make you

1106
00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:25,800
Speaker 22: defend twelve alignments, eleven alignments, empty alignments, two back alignments,

1107
00:49:25,840 --> 00:49:28,600
Speaker 22: and to all use their wide receivers to to block

1108
00:49:28,680 --> 00:49:31,800
Speaker 22: their wide receivers do an outstanding job of blocking. So

1109
00:49:33,160 --> 00:49:35,000
Speaker 22: you know, we're gonna have to play our game and

1110
00:49:36,040 --> 00:49:38,800
Speaker 22: you know, and accentuate our guys. We have some multi

1111
00:49:38,920 --> 00:49:41,440
Speaker 22: purpose players that can do a lot of things. It's

1112
00:49:41,480 --> 00:49:44,800
Speaker 22: gonna be a great matchup. This is this NFL football

1113
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:48,560
Speaker 22: at its finest. This is you know, an outstanding offense,

1114
00:49:49,480 --> 00:49:52,800
Speaker 22: a good defense. You know, we'll be ready for it.

1115
00:49:53,680 --> 00:49:56,160
Speaker 7: Just mentioned the Baltimore game.

1116
00:49:58,200 --> 00:50:00,959
Speaker 19: Was it you guys missing tackles or did they see

1117
00:50:01,080 --> 00:50:05,359
Speaker 19: something in the first three games that they were able

1118
00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:08,080
Speaker 19: to maybe find a weakness.

1119
00:50:08,400 --> 00:50:10,960
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean we did. We did miss a lot

1120
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:11,520
Speaker 11: of tackles.

1121
00:50:11,680 --> 00:50:13,760
Speaker 22: I think we had about one hundred and twenty yards

1122
00:50:13,800 --> 00:50:17,080
Speaker 22: after miss tackles in that game. And I bear some responsibility.

1123
00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:18,799
Speaker 22: That's not all of the players. I can get them

1124
00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:22,320
Speaker 22: closer to the play, you know, and I think that

1125
00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:25,520
Speaker 22: that can help them, you know. But when it was

1126
00:50:25,560 --> 00:50:29,360
Speaker 22: all said and done, Jeff, my biggest disappointment from that

1127
00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:34,680
Speaker 22: game was right after the first turnover we had started

1128
00:50:34,719 --> 00:50:37,320
Speaker 22: the game, we looked like us, right, you know, I

1129
00:50:37,360 --> 00:50:39,399
Speaker 22: don't if a three and out, three and out, three

1130
00:50:39,480 --> 00:50:41,279
Speaker 22: and out. You know, we gave up a couple of

1131
00:50:41,320 --> 00:50:44,560
Speaker 22: plays in there, but man, we were flying around and

1132
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:47,759
Speaker 22: you know, we looked like us. And then we took

1133
00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:51,880
Speaker 22: the field after the turnover, and you know, we have

1134
00:50:51,960 --> 00:50:54,000
Speaker 22: a missed assignment and we give up a touchdown on

1135
00:50:54,040 --> 00:50:57,960
Speaker 22: the very first play. And I think that's probably the

1136
00:50:58,040 --> 00:51:00,560
Speaker 22: biggest disappointment. You had a rookie quarter to back. We

1137
00:51:00,680 --> 00:51:02,400
Speaker 22: needed to have his back. We needed to hold that

1138
00:51:02,520 --> 00:51:05,200
Speaker 22: to a field goal right there, and you know that

1139
00:51:05,600 --> 00:51:07,600
Speaker 22: in my mind, that really changed the game. We could

1140
00:51:07,640 --> 00:51:10,359
Speaker 22: have gained some momentum. We got a red zone stop

1141
00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:13,560
Speaker 22: right there, held into a field goal, and you know,

1142
00:51:13,960 --> 00:51:15,320
Speaker 22: I think it could have been different you know, we

1143
00:51:15,600 --> 00:51:17,520
Speaker 22: came back the next drive, we got to turnover, but

1144
00:51:17,600 --> 00:51:20,920
Speaker 22: we didn't play great in that drive, and you know,

1145
00:51:21,040 --> 00:51:23,319
Speaker 22: so that was probably the biggest thing. You know, when

1146
00:51:23,560 --> 00:51:26,759
Speaker 22: when when when the team needs us the most, we

1147
00:51:26,880 --> 00:51:29,320
Speaker 22: have to be able to respond. And I didn't like

1148
00:51:29,400 --> 00:51:31,560
Speaker 22: the way that we did. The players didn't like the

1149
00:51:31,600 --> 00:51:32,160
Speaker 22: way that went.

1150
00:51:32,320 --> 00:51:35,520
Speaker 14: We have a lot of pride and you know, we

1151
00:51:35,640 --> 00:51:36,560
Speaker 14: need to do better than that.

1152
00:51:36,680 --> 00:51:39,440
Speaker 22: And also I didn't like the way we finished, or

1153
00:51:39,520 --> 00:51:42,040
Speaker 22: we didn't like the way we finished, you know, after

1154
00:51:42,120 --> 00:51:44,640
Speaker 22: that last It probably doesn't affect the game, but we

1155
00:51:44,760 --> 00:51:46,360
Speaker 22: gave up a couple first downs at the end of

1156
00:51:46,400 --> 00:51:48,719
Speaker 22: that game where we just got squirrely. We came out

1157
00:51:48,760 --> 00:51:51,719
Speaker 22: of coverage and we were undisciplined on some stuff, and

1158
00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:53,680
Speaker 22: we didn't look like us. We need we need to

1159
00:51:53,760 --> 00:51:55,600
Speaker 22: look like us when we're at our best. It looks

1160
00:51:55,640 --> 00:51:58,160
Speaker 22: like fifteen guys are on the field, right, guys are

1161
00:51:58,200 --> 00:52:01,480
Speaker 22: flying around and playing they either and we might miss tackles,

1162
00:52:02,040 --> 00:52:03,880
Speaker 22: but the next guys are there to clean them up.

1163
00:52:04,040 --> 00:52:07,480
Speaker 22: So that's probably that's probably the biggest thing. Yeah, they

1164
00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:10,960
Speaker 22: did some scheme stuff that you know that that, but

1165
00:52:11,120 --> 00:52:14,080
Speaker 22: we adjust to We adjusted actually in the second half

1166
00:52:14,160 --> 00:52:18,239
Speaker 22: on a lot of it, you know, But like I said,

1167
00:52:18,280 --> 00:52:22,759
Speaker 22: I think I think our job is to is to

1168
00:52:22,880 --> 00:52:25,520
Speaker 22: have the offenses back when they make mistake. You know,

1169
00:52:25,560 --> 00:52:27,600
Speaker 22: I'm sure there they feel like their job is to

1170
00:52:27,680 --> 00:52:30,880
Speaker 22: have our back when we give up a play. And

1171
00:52:31,280 --> 00:52:34,400
Speaker 22: that was probably the biggest thing in that game. You know,

1172
00:52:34,480 --> 00:52:36,560
Speaker 22: we turned them all over and we didn't do our job.

1173
00:52:36,600 --> 00:52:38,439
Speaker 22: We could hold them to a field goal right there,

1174
00:52:38,520 --> 00:52:40,800
Speaker 22: and I think that game changes. So we have a

1175
00:52:40,880 --> 00:52:44,680
Speaker 22: lot of pride as a group. Our guys aren't satisfied

1176
00:52:44,719 --> 00:52:47,279
Speaker 22: with their performance and they know they have a big

1177
00:52:47,400 --> 00:52:50,560
Speaker 22: challenge this week and they're looking to make amends for it.

1178
00:52:51,400 --> 00:52:53,799
Speaker 7: System seems to suit pretty really well.

1179
00:52:54,360 --> 00:52:56,799
Speaker 22: Any impressions of him, well, I think it goes back

1180
00:52:56,840 --> 00:52:57,640
Speaker 22: to Tony's question.

1181
00:52:58,600 --> 00:53:01,759
Speaker 14: You know, it's just coach Jahan, you know, putting his

1182
00:53:01,840 --> 00:53:03,080
Speaker 14: guys in the best position.

1183
00:53:03,360 --> 00:53:05,600
Speaker 22: You know, It's changed a little bit, you know, depending

1184
00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:08,279
Speaker 22: on who his quarterbacks have been, the way that they

1185
00:53:08,960 --> 00:53:11,920
Speaker 22: you know, the way that they run things. And Perdy

1186
00:53:12,120 --> 00:53:15,920
Speaker 22: is an extremely accurate passer. He's he's got a quick release,

1187
00:53:17,440 --> 00:53:20,040
Speaker 22: you know, and he anticipates very well and he works

1188
00:53:20,080 --> 00:53:22,640
Speaker 22: the ball around. You know, I think a little bit overplayed.

1189
00:53:22,760 --> 00:53:25,719
Speaker 22: Is the whole point guard thing, but you know he

1190
00:53:26,320 --> 00:53:28,120
Speaker 22: he does. I mean there's a reason it's a cliche

1191
00:53:28,239 --> 00:53:30,040
Speaker 22: is because he does look like a point guard out there.

1192
00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:33,160
Speaker 22: He's finding the open guy. You know, he's getting rid

1193
00:53:33,160 --> 00:53:36,759
Speaker 22: of the ball quick. You know, he's given his he's

1194
00:53:36,760 --> 00:53:39,040
Speaker 22: putting the ball in position for guys to be able

1195
00:53:39,080 --> 00:53:39,520
Speaker 22: to run.

1196
00:53:39,440 --> 00:53:40,200
Speaker 11: After the catch.

1197
00:53:40,520 --> 00:53:44,160
Speaker 6: So it's a Miles Garrett going up against at least

1198
00:53:44,200 --> 00:53:48,080
Speaker 6: part of the time, Trent Williams. Just how amazing is

1199
00:53:48,160 --> 00:53:50,279
Speaker 6: Trent And what kind of battle do you see between

1200
00:53:50,320 --> 00:53:51,239
Speaker 6: those two guys coming up?

1201
00:53:51,480 --> 00:53:53,600
Speaker 22: Yeah, you know, Tony mentioned a number of times I've

1202
00:53:53,640 --> 00:53:56,680
Speaker 22: gone against Kyle Shanahan. Trent Williams has been on the

1203
00:53:56,680 --> 00:53:59,840
Speaker 22: opposite side a lot of times, and you know that

1204
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:04,400
Speaker 22: that's a that's a tough battle. He's been a premier

1205
00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:06,680
Speaker 22: player in this league for a long time. I think

1206
00:54:06,760 --> 00:54:09,520
Speaker 22: he's fourteen or fifteen years. It seems like it's been

1207
00:54:09,600 --> 00:54:13,560
Speaker 22: longer than that. Seems like he's been around forever. Good

1208
00:54:13,600 --> 00:54:15,320
Speaker 22: in the run game and the past game. It's not

1209
00:54:15,600 --> 00:54:18,520
Speaker 22: just the past game that that matchup is going to

1210
00:54:18,520 --> 00:54:21,800
Speaker 22: be important. They're a balanced team and we need to

1211
00:54:21,880 --> 00:54:24,440
Speaker 22: do a good job against the runs. So you know,

1212
00:54:25,120 --> 00:54:29,040
Speaker 22: it's really never about just a personal one on one matchup.

1213
00:54:29,560 --> 00:54:31,360
Speaker 22: They do a lot of different things scheme wise. We

1214
00:54:31,440 --> 00:54:34,680
Speaker 22: have to do our job within the scheme. And but

1215
00:54:35,040 --> 00:54:37,759
Speaker 22: again I talk about great matchups and you know, this

1216
00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:40,440
Speaker 22: is this is one I think, this is NFL football,

1217
00:54:40,880 --> 00:54:45,960
Speaker 22: you know, and within that you have individual matchups. And

1218
00:54:46,360 --> 00:54:48,280
Speaker 22: I'm sure that's one that the fans will be watching

1219
00:54:49,000 --> 00:54:50,320
Speaker 22: and we'll be watching.

1220
00:54:50,960 --> 00:54:54,200
Speaker 9: How different is their use of motion before the snap

1221
00:54:54,600 --> 00:54:56,279
Speaker 9: and how difficult is that for you guys.

1222
00:54:57,080 --> 00:54:59,520
Speaker 22: Yeah, I mean they're about eighty percent of their snaps

1223
00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:03,319
Speaker 22: some sort of shift or motion, including double shifts in motion,

1224
00:55:03,680 --> 00:55:06,160
Speaker 22: you know. And I think you know, on defense, we

1225
00:55:06,280 --> 00:55:08,080
Speaker 22: do a lot of things to try to change the

1226
00:55:08,200 --> 00:55:10,800
Speaker 22: picture for the quarterback after the snap, right, you know,

1227
00:55:10,840 --> 00:55:13,400
Speaker 22: I think that you know, that's that's important to us,

1228
00:55:13,560 --> 00:55:15,719
Speaker 22: just to just to try to buy us a little

1229
00:55:15,719 --> 00:55:16,960
Speaker 22: bit of time for our pass.

1230
00:55:16,800 --> 00:55:17,560
Speaker 11: Rush to get home.

1231
00:55:17,680 --> 00:55:20,680
Speaker 22: And sometimes you know, it's you know, it looks like man,

1232
00:55:20,719 --> 00:55:22,399
Speaker 22: all of a sudden the zone, or it looks like zone.

1233
00:55:22,400 --> 00:55:24,520
Speaker 22: It's man, it looks like you know, you're playing off

1234
00:55:24,600 --> 00:55:26,279
Speaker 22: and all of a sudden you're up, or you know,

1235
00:55:26,360 --> 00:55:28,360
Speaker 22: it's blitz, a surprise blitz, or you're up in the

1236
00:55:28,400 --> 00:55:29,520
Speaker 22: blitz and it's a bail.

1237
00:55:29,800 --> 00:55:30,440
Speaker 11: Well, they do the.

1238
00:55:30,480 --> 00:55:33,240
Speaker 22: Exact same thing with their shifts and motions. They present

1239
00:55:33,320 --> 00:55:35,759
Speaker 22: you a formation and then all of a sudden, the

1240
00:55:35,840 --> 00:55:39,239
Speaker 22: last second, change it to something else. You know, it

1241
00:55:39,360 --> 00:55:43,840
Speaker 22: puts it puts pressure on your communication and your assignment.

1242
00:55:45,200 --> 00:55:45,360
Speaker 4: You know.

1243
00:55:45,480 --> 00:55:46,960
Speaker 22: So I think that you know, we have a lot

1244
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:49,359
Speaker 22: of challenges in the game, but dealing with that kind

1245
00:55:49,400 --> 00:55:52,839
Speaker 22: of stuff is important. I would say this, it's it's

1246
00:55:52,960 --> 00:55:55,439
Speaker 22: much more difficult for them to do that on the road,

1247
00:55:56,040 --> 00:55:58,840
Speaker 22: and you know when when the fans are loud and

1248
00:55:58,960 --> 00:56:01,400
Speaker 22: it's hard for them them. You know, they've had a

1249
00:56:01,440 --> 00:56:03,600
Speaker 22: couple of road games that the crowd really wasn't in

1250
00:56:03,719 --> 00:56:07,040
Speaker 22: it or got taken out of it. And we always

1251
00:56:07,080 --> 00:56:08,560
Speaker 22: take a lot of pride to trying to keep our

1252
00:56:08,640 --> 00:56:11,320
Speaker 22: fans engaged and they can have an impact on the

1253
00:56:11,400 --> 00:56:14,480
Speaker 22: game because that stuff is so well timed and it's

1254
00:56:14,520 --> 00:56:17,879
Speaker 22: so well coordinated that if if they're having a hard

1255
00:56:17,960 --> 00:56:20,640
Speaker 22: time with their communication, you know, it can.

1256
00:56:20,600 --> 00:56:21,360
Speaker 11: Negate some of that.

1257
00:56:21,560 --> 00:56:25,799
Speaker 14: But you know, they they that's that's a.

1258
00:56:25,840 --> 00:56:28,440
Speaker 22: Huge part of this game, is dealing with all that

1259
00:56:28,560 --> 00:56:30,799
Speaker 22: different stuff and it's not just on first and second down.

1260
00:56:30,880 --> 00:56:33,840
Speaker 22: It's not just run game. It carries over to the

1261
00:56:33,920 --> 00:56:36,920
Speaker 22: passing game. It carries over the third down. You know,

1262
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:39,840
Speaker 22: it's one of the things that they do, and you know,

1263
00:56:40,200 --> 00:56:42,160
Speaker 22: and our job is to try to find a way

1264
00:56:42,200 --> 00:56:42,680
Speaker 22: to defend it.

1265
00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:45,480
Speaker 7: The first play, well, first play of the year.

1266
00:56:46,040 --> 00:56:50,000
Speaker 10: You know, remember the various effect that that first game

1267
00:56:50,040 --> 00:56:51,560
Speaker 10: of the year with the very first play.

1268
00:56:52,120 --> 00:56:53,399
Speaker 7: What's he been like since then?

1269
00:56:55,080 --> 00:56:57,600
Speaker 22: Well, you know that before the I guess it was

1270
00:56:57,680 --> 00:57:01,279
Speaker 22: the Titans game. You know, he was having a hard

1271
00:57:01,320 --> 00:57:03,560
Speaker 22: time warming up. I don't know if you guys saw that,

1272
00:57:03,800 --> 00:57:06,520
Speaker 22: but he had some back spasms before that game and

1273
00:57:06,880 --> 00:57:09,640
Speaker 22: things like that. But we don't just judge ourselves on

1274
00:57:09,760 --> 00:57:13,440
Speaker 22: rushing the passer. It's playing the run. And then also

1275
00:57:13,880 --> 00:57:19,320
Speaker 22: we view ourselves as a group up front. And I

1276
00:57:19,360 --> 00:57:22,040
Speaker 22: think you've seen this a few times this year. Maybe

1277
00:57:22,080 --> 00:57:24,800
Speaker 22: one guy creates the pressure and somebody else makes the sack,

1278
00:57:25,640 --> 00:57:28,640
Speaker 22: and you know, we have an unselfish group up front,

1279
00:57:29,320 --> 00:57:33,959
Speaker 22: and you know Z's had some pressures that other people

1280
00:57:34,040 --> 00:57:35,200
Speaker 22: have cleaned up the sacks.

1281
00:57:36,680 --> 00:57:38,960
Speaker 14: Is does that change the end of the play?

1282
00:57:39,360 --> 00:57:42,200
Speaker 22: Probably not. Does it look different in the stat book? Yeah,

1283
00:57:42,800 --> 00:57:46,040
Speaker 22: But when you have unselfish players and guys that only

1284
00:57:46,120 --> 00:57:47,520
Speaker 22: care about results.

1285
00:57:47,160 --> 00:57:47,800
Speaker 11: Like Z does.

1286
00:57:48,200 --> 00:57:50,200
Speaker 22: I think it makes a little bit, you know, a

1287
00:57:50,240 --> 00:57:52,400
Speaker 22: little bit easier to deal with. We have take advantage

1288
00:57:52,400 --> 00:57:56,640
Speaker 22: of the opportunities that we have, but particularly upfront, we

1289
00:57:56,760 --> 00:57:59,400
Speaker 22: play as a group and as long as somebody's making

1290
00:57:59,440 --> 00:58:03,040
Speaker 22: the play, really we celebrate that and we really don't care.

1291
00:58:02,920 --> 00:58:04,080
Speaker 11: Who it is.
