Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Teams, you're paying attention to him and they're chipping with
- 0:03Speaker 1: backs and tight ends. And last week the interior guys
- 0:08Speaker 1: had success and Josh did his part as far as
- 0:11Speaker 1: keeping the quarterback in the pocket for the most part.
- 0:13Speaker 1: He'll just have to continue to do that and then
- 0:16Speaker 1: hopefully his played to come step up a little bit
- 0:19Speaker 1: in order for the rest of the defense to get
- 0:22Speaker 1: better as a whole. I think so, I think a right.
- 0:25Speaker 1: The message really this week has been raiser level everyone,
- 0:29Speaker 1: and Josh is one of our good players, and you
- 0:33Speaker 1: need your good players to play good. So yes, Adams
- 0:37Speaker 1: rolling in this week, and he thought of having Tyson
- 0:39Speaker 1: Campbell shadowing. Uh, we did a little bit last week.
- 0:43Speaker 1: Um this week we'll we'll just see how the game goes.
- 0:45Speaker 1: You know, it's all with the chance of doing it.
- 0:47Speaker 1: But right now we're just trying to figure out what
- 0:49Speaker 1: they're trying to how they're trying to attack us, and
- 0:52Speaker 1: find out what our best plan attacked them is. Watched
- 0:58Speaker 1: he the go to guy. Uh, he's the guy that
- 1:00Speaker 1: has great quickness off the ball, and he runs the
- 1:03Speaker 1: entire rout tree and he's an athlete plan receiver. He's
- 1:08Speaker 1: a guy that I don't know him personally, but the
- 1:12Speaker 1: way he moves, you can put him at any position
- 1:14Speaker 1: and he wish to see he'd be successful. So that
- 1:17Speaker 1: helps him out being a receiver. He's able to, you know,
- 1:20Speaker 1: use this quickness, use the speed, and he can you know,
- 1:23Speaker 1: catch anything close to him because the planes continue with
- 1:26Speaker 1: the cornerback of rotation the way it's been the past
- 1:28Speaker 1: couple of games with Trey Herndon on the outside, Garius
- 1:30Speaker 1: Willi'm staying in nickel that that's the plan. I think. Uh,
- 1:34Speaker 1: other than one play last week, you didn't hear Trey's name,
- 1:37Speaker 1: and we go to it and he played some really
- 1:41Speaker 1: good plays, just like we all did, and one place
- 1:44Speaker 1: stands out. But you know, his heads up, he's confident,
- 1:48Speaker 1: We're confident in him, and he's gonna go back out
- 1:50Speaker 1: there this weekend, continue to play outside of the actual
- 1:54Speaker 1: plays he's made in the field to watch the smooth
- 1:56Speaker 1: and he's played very well this year. Um, he's been
- 2:01Speaker 1: around for a few years and everything. What does meet
- 2:03Speaker 1: do one mean in terms in the locker room, in
- 2:06Speaker 1: the meeting room on the sideline is is and his
- 2:09Speaker 1: is a kind of a quiet leadership. He does he
- 2:13Speaker 1: he he really does in that room. There's a lot
- 2:16Speaker 1: of vocal guys are in the vocal guy, but smooth
- 2:19Speaker 1: as a quieter guy. But he commands that respect because
- 2:24Speaker 1: one thing, he's been here for a while. The other thing,
- 2:26Speaker 1: he's a good player to go out there and works
- 2:27Speaker 1: in practice. You can see last week that you know,
- 2:31Speaker 1: they started jumping off the ball again and continued uh
- 2:34Speaker 1: to work that early on in practice and it paid
- 2:36Speaker 1: off for him the game. He did a great job.
- 2:38Speaker 1: You can have stars, you can have all prose, you
- 2:40Speaker 1: can have Pro Bowl guys and everything, but the backben
- 2:42Speaker 1: of an NFL team a bunch of guys like the one.
- 2:45Speaker 1: Really when he plays, he's one of those elite guys.
- 2:49Speaker 1: He's a guy that can get after the quarterback from
- 2:51Speaker 1: any spot and we just want him to continue to
- 2:54Speaker 1: do that. You know, his chances have been limited so
- 2:56Speaker 1: far because how teams have kind of played us. But
- 3:00Speaker 1: now he's getting a chance to get out there and
- 3:02Speaker 1: get more reps in. We'll get him going well. Tyson,
- 3:05Speaker 1: show you last week against Cortland. I know Doug said,
- 3:07Speaker 1: you know he was shattering a bit more last week. Yeah,
- 3:09Speaker 1: we we we shadowed a little bit, but Tyson he's
- 3:12Speaker 1: been consistent all year. He's in position to make plays
- 3:15Speaker 1: and you know, his target rate is pretty high and
- 3:19Speaker 1: we like that. We feel comfortable with him guarding different
- 3:22Speaker 1: people and will continue to let him grow just as
- 3:25Speaker 1: a good for his development oxided you see. Are you
- 3:28Speaker 1: to see him against Devanta this weekend? It was good.
- 3:30Speaker 1: Anytime you get a guy that's talked about is the
- 3:33Speaker 1: number one person at a certain position, that should raise
- 3:37Speaker 1: the hair on everybody's neck. And it's not just Tyson,
- 3:39Speaker 1: it's everybody because you know the team defense and we
- 3:42Speaker 1: understand that we have to press it the quarterback to
- 3:45Speaker 1: make him get rid of the ball, so we don't
- 3:47Speaker 1: have to cover thong on the back end. So it's
- 3:49Speaker 1: a team effort. But yeah, we're excited about it. Get
- 3:51Speaker 1: a chance to go up against a really good one.
- 3:53Speaker 1: You don't go against an offense that just got shut
- 3:55Speaker 1: out the week before. You go back and look at
- 3:58Speaker 1: what the previous team did again them. Do you know
- 4:01Speaker 1: that they're gonna come with a little bit of a
- 4:02Speaker 1: chip on their shoulder and try and rebound from that.
- 4:04Speaker 1: How do you approach that? I think every week is different.
- 4:08Speaker 1: You go back and you look at what the previous
- 4:11Speaker 1: team did. But you have your own identity. You're gonna
- 4:14Speaker 1: fit it to what you're doing. You know, anytime you
- 4:17Speaker 1: lose a game that next week, you're hungry, ready to
- 4:20Speaker 1: get back out there. So I know they'll be cutting
- 4:23Speaker 1: at the tea ready to get out there, and we'll
- 4:24Speaker 1: do the same. Right now, the top five rugger in
- 4:28Speaker 1: the league. I know you say that. You guys heard
- 4:31Speaker 1: it every day when you're playing at this division. But
- 4:34Speaker 1: just going up against a guy like that, knowing they
- 4:36Speaker 1: want to pound a football, what's your messages to the team.
- 4:39Speaker 1: It's the same one, the same one. Again. We talked
- 4:42Speaker 1: about our division. We have guys that are similar, guys
- 4:45Speaker 1: that can tote the ball, and he can tote it.
- 4:48Speaker 1: Believe me, he can tote it and he's doing a
- 4:50Speaker 1: great job this year. So again, just like our division,
- 4:53Speaker 1: we understand that that's gonna be the focal point. We
- 4:56Speaker 1: have to make sure our hats right, make sure our
- 4:58Speaker 1: minds right to go out there and here we can
- 5:00Speaker 1: swim down
