Speaker 1: Ye see, when you looked at your quarterbacking over the
Speaker 1: bye week, how did you evaluate what Sam has done
Speaker 1: so far and what he needs to do. I think
Speaker 1: Sam is is making improvements each week, you know, and
Speaker 1: we look at it from the fundamental standpoint, from the
Speaker 1: accuracy of the throws, being more familiar with the concepts
Speaker 1: and the progressions, and I think he's making improvement. You've
Speaker 1: last three games playing nearly forty percent of the offensive
Speaker 1: snaps have been out of twelve personnel. Let's kind of
Speaker 1: precipitated that. Well, again, it was the opponents that we're
Speaker 1: playing against. We felt like it would be a smart
Speaker 1: thing to do. We have our reasons for it. It
Speaker 1: was also the utilization of our roster and getting getting
Speaker 1: those tight ends in the game, which you know, I
Speaker 1: think we did a good job with that. And so
Speaker 1: it's just a matter of the matching up who we're
Speaker 1: playing against and then trying to use our roster to
Speaker 1: the best of our ability. Or do you think the
Speaker 1: line is now compared to maybe that first Dallas game?
Speaker 1: Much better? Much better? You can see we're a little
Speaker 1: bit more coordinated in our blocking schemes, whether it be
Speaker 1: run plays or pass protection. We're doing a little bit
Speaker 1: better job of working together and getting to the second
Speaker 1: level in the run game. And I just think we're
Speaker 1: just more coordinated, which comes with guys playing together a
Speaker 1: longer stretch of time. When you look at the film,
Speaker 1: how much are they moving Greg Hardy around and how
Speaker 1: much has a health their defense. Well, he's obviously their
Speaker 1: best pass rusher, and he'll play on the edge, he'll
Speaker 1: play inside. They'll stem them at times, and they're trying
Speaker 1: to utilize his strength where he gets to rush against
Speaker 1: various different offensive linemen, you know, So they move them around.
Speaker 1: They're doing a good job with it. In bad we'll
Speaker 1: see ideal distribution Marco environmentals. I think each game is different.
Speaker 1: I think they both need to play. I think they
Speaker 1: both can be efficient, dynamic, and so we just got
Speaker 1: to try to get them both in there. I you know,
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's equal, but I think they
Speaker 1: both need to play. Help on the radio and uh,
Speaker 1: we'll do in terms of how this, yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I think that was I think that's been misunderstood. You know.
Speaker 1: I think when we go into a game, you know,
Speaker 1: we said and we plan how we're going to do things. Um,
Speaker 1: and then we utilize the backs throughout the game based
Speaker 1: on how they're doing, how they're feeling at times, and
Speaker 1: you know, it changes as the as the game goes on.
Speaker 1: You know, if a guy's having a little bit of
Speaker 1: an issue, maybe not nobody knows that, and so you
Speaker 1: play the other guy more so. Uh, we talk about
Speaker 1: it constantly. It's a constant communication. It's like the old
Speaker 1: fallacy that you just make halftime adjustments. Adjustments are being
Speaker 1: made constantly, so we go. Yeah, we all talk about
Speaker 1: it all the time. Absolutely. Uh. With a running back sometimes,
Speaker 1: if running backs in the groove, you know, you let
Speaker 1: them go, maybe a snapper two more than you had planned.
Speaker 1: But that still doesn't mean you don't sub in the
Speaker 1: other guys. Now, you mentioned the second level blocking by
Speaker 1: the offensive line. What was it that was preventing them
Speaker 1: from doing that? You know it was there anything specifically,
Speaker 1: It's just I'm getting acclimated to the scheme or yeah,
Speaker 1: well it's a combination. You know, usually if you're just
Speaker 1: blocking one guy, you're not working with anyone. But typically
Speaker 1: on on mate blocks or zone blocks, where you're working
Speaker 1: at you know, a first level defender to a second
Speaker 1: level defender. You know, it takes a while to kind
Speaker 1: of coordinate the path of the back and then how
Speaker 1: the linebackers running based on whether we're under center in
Speaker 1: the shotgun, and so it just takes a while to
Speaker 1: coordinate that. It's just as you work together with somebody,
Speaker 1: just like we're getting better working together here. You know,
Speaker 1: the longer you're around somebody and the and the more
Speaker 1: you work together, the better the better you become. You
Speaker 1: had a whole week to look at numbers, then you
Speaker 1: you use that. So at what point do does the
Speaker 1: production on the field factor into how useful tech we
Speaker 1: play the guys? And I think, like I said, I
Speaker 1: think that the production numbers after the fact are easy
Speaker 1: to look at. We go into a game anticipating certain
Speaker 1: things are going to happen, and then you play the
Speaker 1: guys and we try to do what we can to
Speaker 1: win the game. And I think that's the way. You know,
Speaker 1: it takes a village. You know, you've got to play
Speaker 1: all the running backs when you're running the ball like
Speaker 1: like we want to, and so you know, whether one
Speaker 1: gets a handful more than the other, it really in
Speaker 1: our minds, it really doesn't quite matter as long as
Speaker 1: they're both playing and they're both contributing. And let's not
Speaker 1: forget Darren too. He needs to be involved in a
Speaker 1: wide receiver receiver time to adaptive at this level of
Speaker 1: the speed of the game. Do you expect Agilor to
Speaker 1: make a bigger impact in the second half of the season.
Speaker 1: I think so much like we saw Jordan a year
Speaker 1: ago now. And Nelson's been dealing with an injury as well,
Speaker 1: which you know may slow things down just a touch,
Speaker 1: but you know, we feel like the second half of
Speaker 1: the year is going to be good for him once
Speaker 1: he gets back on the field. How do you expect
Speaker 1: to have Jason Peters this week? We're hoping too. He
Speaker 1: was out here yesterday and then uh, you know, we
Speaker 1: anticipate we'll be out here today and again I'm not
Speaker 1: I'm waiting to see what comes through the door a
Speaker 1: little bit. How do you fix the drops? And there
Speaker 1: was a lot of fun going into the bay with
Speaker 1: these guys getting away. Maybe that cures the mental aspect
Speaker 1: of it, But is there something different that you guys
Speaker 1: will do moving forward to try to alleviate that. Now,
Speaker 1: we just keep working on it, try to try to
Speaker 1: just keep eyes and fingers, you know, focus on a
Speaker 1: small point, catch it, pluck it, tuck it, all the
Speaker 1: things you work on. And these guys are pros. They're
Speaker 1: here because they've displayed the ability to catch the football.
Speaker 1: We know they can do it, and they just got
Speaker 1: to go out and do it and just keep wrapping
Speaker 1: it and practicing it like they do, and then just
Speaker 1: make it happen in the games. Do you see these
Speaker 1: problems showing up on the front practice field? Now? I
Speaker 1: think you know there's always an occasional drop on the
Speaker 1: practice field, but not not like it's happened. And so,
Speaker 1: you know, we just keep working on it, and you
Speaker 1: keep talking to the guys about how to catch the
Speaker 1: football in our training sessions you haven't executed, and and
Speaker 1: then when they're done, we talk about why it was
Speaker 1: good or why it was bad. And then you just
Speaker 1: keep going through that process, and you know, we anticipate, um,
Speaker 1: it'll it'll go away. Looking at that first first Dallas,
Speaker 1: keep like, how many how much change did you guys
Speaker 1: did you have to home in? Gosh, sorry, like, how
Speaker 1: much did you have to change things? It's like it's
Speaker 1: far somatically you know happen. Yeah, you know, we did
Speaker 1: a lot of things. You know, we heard ourselves in
Speaker 1: a lot of ways. You know, we had some really
Speaker 1: bizarre bad things happened to us or we allowed to
Speaker 1: happen that. You know, it doesn't matter who you're playing.
Speaker 1: And Dallas give them credit. They did a good job.
Speaker 1: You know, the score was in within reach into the
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, and you know, we had our opportunities to score,
Speaker 1: and we had a snap issue and then we had
Speaker 1: a turnover, and so you know, we just go back
Speaker 1: when we anytime you play the opponent the second time
Speaker 1: within the division, you go back and you look at
Speaker 1: the game and if you wont you try to recreate
Speaker 1: what you did, and if you lost, you try to
Speaker 1: really dig in and look at why and try to
Speaker 1: keep that from happening. But I've always believed its first
Speaker 1: things first. And you know, as cliche as it sounds,
Speaker 1: we got to get lined up properly. We got to
Speaker 1: snap the football. You know, we gotta guys, whoever's responsible
Speaker 1: for the match's got to take care of it. We
Speaker 1: got to block our guys. Quarterbacks got to throw, and
Speaker 1: receivers got to catch. And if we do all the
Speaker 1: first things first, then I think it doesn't matter who
Speaker 1: our opponent is, our results will be much better. And
Speaker 1: I think that's sort of what we fell victim too
Speaker 1: in our first Dallas game. Inside zone run has not
Speaker 1: been a real productive play for DeMarco outside you mentioned
Speaker 1: outside zone run. Yeah, when you've looked at the film
Speaker 1: during the buywink, I mean, what do you see in there? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think that's probably you know, that's that's We're an
Speaker 1: inside zone kind of a man block sweep type team
Speaker 1: where we feature the mid zone or the outside zone
Speaker 1: run against teams where it we feel like it's going
Speaker 1: to be effective. And uh, I think we're making improvements there. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, and I think you know, when you talk
Speaker 1: about DeMarco specifically, he's much healthier now than he was
Speaker 1: early in the season, so you know, we anticipate that, Um,
Speaker 1: he'll he'll you know, make make better runs than he
Speaker 1: did early. So holding back, I wouldn't say that he's
Speaker 1: healthier than now though than you know, he was healthy
Speaker 1: enough to play when he played, but nobody's totally healthy
Speaker 1: when they're out there after the first snap of the game.
Speaker 1: But he's doing health issues now he was. He's healthier
Speaker 1: now and he's feeling better about things. You can't be
Speaker 1: healthier now if you were. At least I feel better
Speaker 1: now than I did earlier in the year. But I
Speaker 1: wasn't hurt, you know what I mean. So, you know,
Speaker 1: I think that's that's I'm going with it. You view,
Speaker 1: the drops is more of a statistical nomaly than anything else.
Speaker 1: We gotta get them corrected, you know, just like sometimes
Speaker 1: you hit the red lights coming to work, sometimes ship
Speaker 1: the green lights. It's just just something that happens, you know.
Speaker 1: It's a good way to put it. Or you just
Speaker 1: run them all, you know. Yeah, and you can do
Speaker 1: that in South Philly. I guess you just run them all. Um. No, No,
Speaker 1: I think so, you know, i'd like to I like
Speaker 1: to hope that's the case, because we've seen these guys
Speaker 1: catch the ball very, very well and at a high
Speaker 1: level throughout their careers, and they've done it for us,
Speaker 1: and we just gotta get those bad plays out of
Speaker 1: their system. Then there's a challenge to keep it from
Speaker 1: getting up here. Yeah, I think so, you know, I
Speaker 1: think everything starts with the thought, and they got to
Speaker 1: get those those bad ones out of there. Tas doing
Speaker 1: different things with their linemen and linebackers, to prevent your
Speaker 1: lineman from getting to that second level or is it
Speaker 1: just a communication, it's just working together, you know, it's
Speaker 1: I don't think there's anything specific we're seeing when we
Speaker 1: play the team that we didn't see prior to preparing,
Speaker 1: you know, preparing for him. So I don't think it
Speaker 1: said changes when you have to move a guy and
Speaker 1: a get in the middle of the game, like Toba
Speaker 1: from Garden Tack that's always that's always a challenge when
Speaker 1: you you got to kind of move guys around like
Speaker 1: we've had to the last couple of weeks. But that's
Speaker 1: why we're out here training. You know. Everybody just doesn't
Speaker 1: play their same spot, and especially that six and seventh guy,
Speaker 1: they're getting reps at all the spots that they could
Speaker 1: play in the game, and that's what these sessions are for.
Speaker 1: I think he said that if Lane ever played tackles
Speaker 1: or left tackle in the game, you want to getting
Speaker 1: reps and rackt at what point, yeah, case it couldn't
Speaker 1: be healthy. At what point would you need to get
Speaker 1: in those reps? Like how late in the week. We
Speaker 1: do it throughout, you know, and you know, well we'll
Speaker 1: make sure we do get his reps at left tackle,
Speaker 1: um so that he's ready to play there if need be.
Speaker 1: So we do it throughout the week. It's not it's
Speaker 1: not like absolutely absolutely our tackles, all our tackles work
Speaker 1: both right and left. So there was a For example,
Speaker 1: there's a play in in that last Dallas game where Kelsey,
Speaker 1: after the snaps, step back and steps back the pole
Speaker 1: and he just gets blasted in the backfield and it's
Speaker 1: unable to then getting the second level. Is that just
Speaker 1: a defensive tackle beating a guy to a spot and
Speaker 1: knocking it backwards. There's nothing. Yeah, no that And I
Speaker 1: think the player you're talking about, he was going to
Speaker 1: the right and we were running his own play and
Speaker 1: he kind of made a man block adjustment and there
Speaker 1: was penetration there and that's why he got knocked off.
Speaker 1: That that just happens. It's just a bad play. Get
Speaker 1: back in the huttle, call another one has a bad play,
Speaker 1: all right, Well you get on the line whatever, get
Speaker 1: another one called and do it better. That's all. Listen.
Speaker 1: They're good, all right.
