  Speaker 1: We're kind of getting him back in the flow of
• 0:01
  Speaker 1: things and getting the win unders belt.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought he did a good job just leading
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: the offense kind of taking what was there. Obviously, we
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: got something going late in that game, which we got
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: to find a way to get that going sooner. That's
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: kind of happened to us last couple of weeks of
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: just finding some rhythm late in the second half. But
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: you know, the challenge is getting it from the opening kickoff.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: It's Darren's postgame comments that you and him had a
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: conversation aside on during the second half of you got
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: to get Brian Toime Junior involved. What was that kind
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: of interaction like, and how I guess, how do you
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: do that for a whole game?
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's always the plan to start with
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: getting your best players of football. Sometimes there's things a
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: defense do to take it away. Sometimes something comes up
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: throughout the course of the play that prevents that from happening.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of times you call plays and he's
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: a primary and for whatever reason, the ball didn't find him.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: So it kind of just became we're gonna force him
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: the ball at some point in time, and you don't
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: always want to go that way, but we felt like
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: that was something we needed to do. So it was
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: more just we're gonna put him over here, we're gonna
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: call screen, we're gonna call some dropbacks, and the ball
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: is gonna go to Brian. We're gonna ultimately, that's what
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: got us sparked right there. So however it gets there,
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: you know, you got to find different ways to be
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: able to incorporate all your good players and give them
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: opportunities to affect the game. Yeah, just do that, Yeah, definitely.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: It's not as simple as that. It was a point
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: in time where we weren't having much success and we
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: needed just this is what we're gonna do now. At
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: the same time, we didn't have a ton of opportunities.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: We had three drives in the first half, one of
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: them starting from our minus two that let it eventually
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: became a two minute drive into half. So you got
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: to get the snaps, You got to get opportunities with
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: the football to be able to put yourself in those situations.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: But and there's times you call them. Mean, we've had
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: some wild ones this year. We call screen. Brian Baldon
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: get thrown for one reason or another. We have different
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: things where you think you're forcunate to them and it
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: doesn't find them different way or a pressure look and
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: the quarterback changes the play whatever that may be. Some
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: of those things come up from time to time, but
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: you know, it's it's on us to continue to find
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: ways to feed him opportunities to affect the game. Talked
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: about yesterday how Brian demands the football. Do you like
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: that in a wide receiver and how's that sort of balance?
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: I guess quarterback wide receiver? Yeah, I mean I understand
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: he said that. I think it's very different than probably
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: the perception you think of when you think of receivers
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: demanding the football. It's he's not out of there throwing
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: his helmet down, yelling about getting the ball anybody's face,
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: anything like that. I think he's a guy that wants
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: the ball like anybody. But never once has he ever
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: shown his character to be something different than we know
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: it to be. He'll do whatever we ask him to
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: do as long as it's helping the team win. I mean,
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: that's the big thing is all these guys, they'll do
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: anything as long as they think it's going to help
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: us win. So we appreciate that and he is. He
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: is awesome. He's been a pro through and through. I mean,
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: like anybody, when we're losing, there's frustration, but you know,
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: Brian's certainly capable of helping us win games, and we
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: need to continue to get the football to him.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: I'm here. From time to time, I've heard you guys
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: mentioned like, think players not plays. I mean, is it
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: getting too I mean when the offense struggling, is that
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: kind of something that you guys are started to think
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: more of thinking how to get these players involved instead
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: of maybe the plays.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, certainly, and there's always I mean every play you
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: put in, you look at who the primary is, who
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: the secondary is, where you think the ball is going
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: to go based on what the look is, and every
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: play then takes on a life of its own once
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: the ball snapped, So things change. But we've always started players,
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: not plays of you know, when we go through opening script,
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: top third downs, top red zone calls, top backed up calls,
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: it starts with who's who do we think is going
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: to get the ball first? And we always kind of build,
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: you know, from who we think has an opportunity based
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: on tendency, based on skill set, based on what those
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: routes are what that play is of who the better
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: ball carriers and this certain play, how does that align
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: with what we've shown in our past as well. So
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: that's always something we're very conscious of.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Yes, Josh's kind of fit in what you guys want.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: I think Josh, like we mentioned last week, just Josh's experience,
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: We've always kind of had that guy that's just not
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: necessarily a role player, but a role player in a
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: way of the they do certain things. They do a
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: lot of things really well, and I think that's Josh
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: and it was cool just to see him. It's cool
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: to see him learn the offense and communicate things back
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: because that's the hardest part. I mean, he's every play
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: we run is a play somebody else runs as well.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: We just communicate it probably differently than what he's used
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: to from La Denver, Detroit, wherever he's been. It probably
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: sounds a little different, but he recognizes it, and so
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: it's how quickly can we get that learning process in
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: there for him. But he's shown we did one on
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: ones yesterday. He ran a great route out of the slot.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: He did something outside that was good. He's got a
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: lot of length, he's got speed, he's got burst, he's
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: got intelligence. So those are all things that you know,
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: continue to introduce him without overwhelming him. I don't. I
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: don't know that's fair to him to just assume he's
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: gonna go out here and run every single play in
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: the game plan. If you had him all year, he
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: would be sort of like that Marvin Jones role in
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: terms of like the veteran guy, yes around the help
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: and stuff too. Yeah, I think so that just being
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: able to do a lot of different things. I do
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: think he's got the ability to play inside, outside, to
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: run across the field, run on the field, to win
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: contested catches. There's just as we get to know him
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: and see him up close and personal, you know, you
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: kind of envision a lot of opportunities for him.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Are you trying to balance I guess the running back
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: forward between Ten and Travis? Yeah.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: A lot of times it's just kind of how the
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: game's going. You want to give each guy some opportunities.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: There are certain things where this guy does this really well,
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: that guy does that really well. I think if you
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: were to pick how the season would go and how
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: the course of things would go, they'd probably both have
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: around fifteen anywhere from twelve to twenty opportunities a piece.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: That doesn't mean necessarily that they're all runs or they're
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: all passes. It's a mix and match of opportunities to
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: get touches. And that's assuming everything's up and running, you're
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: getting your sixty five to seventy five plays a game,
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: you're in normal down situations, you kind of dictate how
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: the game and flow goes. But those are two of
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: our most impactful players, and they have different skill sets,
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: they have different ways of going about it, but at
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: the same time, there's enough crossover where they're good at
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: the same things that if one's up, ones down, you
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: can still run your offense through the running back. What
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: stands up about the Jets defense, they play incredibly fast.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: First of all, the defensive line just getting off the
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: ball jet and penetrating into the backfield, the defensive ends
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: getting up the field, and then just the d tackles
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: burst off the ball and being able to penetrate gaps,
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: and then you see everything play off of that. The
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: second level flows sideline sideline as well as anybody we've seen,
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: So they're trying to put a dent in your offensive
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: line and then those guys clean everything up pretty quickly.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: The back ends aggressive. They do a good job. There's
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: not a ton of disguise, but they enough things look
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: the same to where you're not really sure until posting
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: up what the coverage is going to be. So I
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: think just the number one thing that jumps off the
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: tape is how fast they play. All right, cool,
