Speaker 1: Great to bounce back to what we did coming off
Speaker 1: the buy. I couldn't be more proud of a group
Speaker 1: of men than I am. The players and coaches and
Speaker 1: how we responded. I thought they were prepared by the
Speaker 1: coaches and they went out and executed and done an
Speaker 1: outstanding job. So and I would also say this, you know,
Speaker 1: as great as that performance was last week, it was
Speaker 1: last week.
Speaker 2: You know, we got to move on.
Speaker 1: We got a good football team that's coming in here
Speaker 1: on Sunday in Tampa Bay. Those guys, in my opinion,
Speaker 1: can do pretty much everything from a standpoint and run
Speaker 1: the ball. I don't look at the stats and where
Speaker 1: they are. You look at White and Edmund Chase. They
Speaker 1: do a great job in toting the rock. Their receivers,
Speaker 1: as we all know, Evans is probably one of the
Speaker 1: best in the league. He can run every route on
Speaker 1: the route tree. He can run by you, Godwin and
Speaker 1: then as well as Tompkins and Palmer, they can take
Speaker 1: the top off. So, uh, we're gonna have our hands full.
Speaker 1: So we gotta do a great job. And I think
Speaker 1: Baker is playing at the extreme high level.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: He's protecting the football, He's placing it where it needs
Speaker 1: to be placed. Those guys are rallying behind him. He's
Speaker 1: a uh fierce competitor. Uh and I'm excited uh how
Speaker 1: he's playing and uh we gotta do a great job
Speaker 1: of trying to stop him this week.
Speaker 2: So with that, I take you questions.
Speaker 4: How did the field Uh?
Speaker 2: It wa it was fine? And enjoyed the interaction with
Speaker 2: the players.
Speaker 1: Uh. I think it was you know, in that regards.
Speaker 1: It was good to be able to look in their
Speaker 1: eyes and communicate and you know, create some clarity. And
Speaker 1: and my thoughts moving to the next series is that
Speaker 1: the means and you guys.
Speaker 4: Give up three points and forced four takeaways.
Speaker 1: Uh I I believe me, that wasn't nowhere near the
Speaker 1: reason why. Uh we got good players and me being
Speaker 1: down on the sideline had nothing to do with it. I.
Speaker 2: I was just really excited once again, how they responded.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: You know, I'm not living in the past.
Speaker 1: I felt like we were a little tired, uh and
Speaker 1: we needed that buy and you could see when we
Speaker 1: came back on that Monday that they were fresh with
Speaker 1: their legs. The attitude was completely different, and we played
Speaker 1: to our standard this past week and we got to
Speaker 1: be consistent moving forward.
Speaker 2: See all the.
Speaker 3: Years you've been doing this, I don't know if we
Speaker 3: asked you last week, how many years have you actually
Speaker 3: spent upstairs versus on the on the sideline.
Speaker 2: And what is the advantage of being on the sideline? Uh?
Speaker 1: Uh again, I was in the Boxton Caroline, I was
Speaker 1: on the field in Cleveland. H. I think the advantage
Speaker 1: is just that direct communication with the players, you know
Speaker 1: where I thought our communication was great with the coaches,
Speaker 1: but being able to talk to each position group and
Speaker 1: hear their thoughts telling my thoughts, it just projects how
Speaker 1: I think the next series for us calling the game.
Speaker 4: On Sunday, and how is he continued to pick up
Speaker 4: the defense?
Speaker 2: Uh? I thought he went out there and played well.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: Uh it was a buck eyed meeting and that's the
Speaker 1: quarterback first per se. So I thought he did some
Speaker 1: great things.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: Causeraca's is in my opinion, and the best dline coach
Speaker 1: in the league. And he's getting the best teaching and uh,
Speaker 1: you know, he's continuing to progress and the things that
Speaker 1: we want him to do in regards to stopping the
Speaker 1: run and how we play it. But I think right
Speaker 1: now he's playing well I'm excited to see what he
Speaker 1: does this week.
Speaker 2: We talked a lot about tying the pass rush to
Speaker 2: your coverage. It seemed like guys were able to do that.
Speaker 3: On Sunday, Trevor Patent ball a little bit more than easy.
Speaker 2: Just how were you able to do that? What was
Speaker 2: making that work? Again?
Speaker 1: I thought we compliment each other well. Also coming out
Speaker 1: of the buy, just trying to evaluate, you know, our
Speaker 1: coverage is our front most importantly, how they look, you know,
Speaker 1: and what you know, what I had been calling previous
Speaker 1: weeks and what we tried to be able to do
Speaker 1: is just work on our disguise a little bit more
Speaker 1: and try to create some confusion, you know, to where
Speaker 1: maybe he thought we were coming when we work, we're
Speaker 1: not coming. And then vice versas we sitting, I can
Speaker 1: all of a suddenly bring pressure. So it's it's just
Speaker 1: definitely trying to take the game out of the coordinator's
Speaker 1: hand and a lot of the quarterback to bed and
Speaker 1: see certain things post snap.
Speaker 2: Thomas and what can you do differently with him on
Speaker 2: the field as posted to.
Speaker 1: I say, Oliver, I like Ambry. I thought Ambry did
Speaker 1: some great things in preseason and also too just to
Speaker 1: speak on Oliver. Oliver I thought, has you know, helped
Speaker 1: us win a lot of football games early on.
Speaker 2: He's gonna continue to help us win games.
Speaker 1: This this league is all about, you know, each week
Speaker 1: is matchups and different things. So I felt that Demo
Speaker 1: played well inside. Amory just brings a different element when
Speaker 1: he can play outside.
Speaker 2: I love his man the man technique.
Speaker 1: I think he you know, he's quick in and out
Speaker 1: of his breaks, and he's physical, you know, he steps
Speaker 1: up in the tackles.
Speaker 2: And I love the way he took the ball away.
Speaker 1: You know, in plus territory when those guys had three points,
Speaker 1: we took points off the board.
Speaker 2: Play eight games and everybody pretty much agreed.
Speaker 3: That you needed to buy and if the buy was beneficial,
Speaker 3: and now you gotta play nine more and potentially the
Speaker 3: postseason that you hope. How how do you keep fresh
Speaker 3: over that stretch it's even longer than the one that
Speaker 3: you started the season.
Speaker 1: Well, I think, really, and hats off to Kyle. I
Speaker 1: think he does a great job of really orchestrating you know,
Speaker 1: the practice and and and how we go about our business.
Speaker 1: Rather it's you know, taking pass off. Rather it's trying
Speaker 1: to create a walk through, you know, having the foresight
Speaker 1: and the forward thinking to understand that, you know, we
Speaker 1: got three games right here in twelve days, and how
Speaker 1: we go about our business is trying to really preserve
Speaker 1: uh some energy but also be effective in what we're
Speaker 1: trying to get done. So uh, he does a great
Speaker 1: job with that, and you know, I think we'll be fine.
Speaker 1: You know, we we got another mini by coming up
Speaker 1: after the uh Thursday nine games, so that'll help us
Speaker 1: a little bit as well. But our focus right now
Speaker 1: is on Sunday with Tampa Bay.
Speaker 4: On the pass rush here during that losing street, these
Speaker 4: guys been obviously, I mean the coverage was tied to
Speaker 4: that the guys in the secondary were be taking that personally,
Speaker 4: I would do sense.
Speaker 1: I hope, I hope we all were taking the personal
Speaker 1: being oh one three, I know I was, and and
Speaker 1: I do agree, uh that those guys were getting criticized.
Speaker 1: But if you understand and know the game and watch
Speaker 1: actually the tape, uh, we got a lot of pressure
Speaker 1: uh on the on the quarterback. So there was different things, yes,
Speaker 1: probably within the secondary that we could do differently, starting
Speaker 1: with maybe the the calls and allowing those guys at
Speaker 1: certain times to be uh a little bit more sticky
Speaker 1: and the coverage or as I just talked about this
Speaker 1: past week, given a different look, uh, which confuses the
Speaker 1: quarterback and makes them hold the ball a little longer.
Speaker 1: And that's all we really need sometimes with the guys
Speaker 1: that we have up front, it's just that second hitch,
Speaker 1: you know. So Uh again, it was great to see,
Speaker 1: Uh those guys compliment one another.
Speaker 4: Oh your brand only you only get a few snaps.
Speaker 2: Some of them looked kind kind of promising. Where is
Speaker 2: he is developed and what do you kind of want
Speaker 2: to see from him going forward?
Speaker 1: Well, it's funny we're just talking about him on the
Speaker 1: last play of practice.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 2: He's progressed and gotten a whole lot better. Uh.
Speaker 1: When you really look at the college season, you know
Speaker 1: it's pretty much over right, you probably getting ready for
Speaker 1: conference playing bowl games. So he's really had that full
Speaker 1: year and you can really see his confidence and how
Speaker 1: he moves around that practice. Uh, just the way he
Speaker 1: communicates and those kinds of things that he's gotten better
Speaker 1: with in this year. So I'm excited about him moving
Speaker 1: forward in any chance, anytime we can get those guys
Speaker 1: into the game, it's just only gonna continue to help
Speaker 1: develop them.
Speaker 3: How do you get better defending the screen game? What
Speaker 3: what can you do in practice to get your guys
Speaker 3: better prepared.
Speaker 2: To defend the screen? Uh? I don't think it's so much.
Speaker 1: And if one of you guys would indulge in doing
Speaker 1: the study, I'm sure you figure out it's no magical
Speaker 1: call with the screens. It's all about sometimes effort. You know,
Speaker 1: I said all the time, you just gotta go whoop
Speaker 1: that in front of you. You know, you got set
Speaker 1: the damn edge, and you know we gotta get guys
Speaker 1: turning and run and getting out of the stack.
Speaker 2: Uh, you know, And you know it's just sometimes that simple.
Speaker 1: If you look at the way our d line terms
Speaker 1: all run I think a couple of weeks ago, Uh cleat,
Speaker 1: I forgot who it was, Uh what team? Rather, I
Speaker 1: mean he saved one because you know, we just turn
Speaker 1: to run. But we gotta do a better job setting
Speaker 1: the edge perman of the run game and stop running
Speaker 1: lateral and just get vertical.
Speaker 2: So that's the key thing there.
Speaker 1: You know, rather in two rather in three rather than man,
Speaker 1: you know, somebody's got as That's it.
Speaker 2: The key to.
Speaker 4: Stopping Mike Evans through trying to stop Mike Evans.
Speaker 2: You've obviously faced him so many times over the years.
Speaker 2: What's uh, I I it's a tough, big body guy.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: You try to sit here and you press him, he's
Speaker 1: gonna mustle you. At the line of scrimmage. You know,
Speaker 1: you play off he you know, very deceptive speed, he's
Speaker 1: gonna run by you. So again, Uh, we gotta mix
Speaker 1: things up, you know, from a standpoint of man's zone.
Speaker 1: Getting our hands on these receivers and just trying really
Speaker 1: trying to be physical.
Speaker 2: Gets called on this year.
Speaker 4: Is there are they ticki tac penalties that he's drying
Speaker 4: mainly rather than flagrant?
Speaker 1: Well, uh, you know, penansy is a penalty. You know
Speaker 1: what I emphasize and talk a little bit more. Uh,
Speaker 1: he has outstanding feet, you know, and when he moves
Speaker 1: his feet, is he in what I call in phase position.
Speaker 1: We don't have to grab. So we're trying to get
Speaker 1: away from that a little bit and just really trying
Speaker 1: to emphasize more of his technique and how that's gonna
Speaker 1: help develop him, you know, within the course of the
Speaker 1: rep right.
Speaker 2: Appreciate you guys, Thank you
