• 0:01
  Speaker 1: So up, guess right when you are doing good? So
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: what what did the tape show you about this game
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: last week?
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Uh?
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Really uh, really excited about where the run game's going.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: You know, I thought our offensive line did a great job.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Running backs continue to improve, you know, that's part of
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: our game we've been working hard on. So it was
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: good to see that take the next step. And a
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: lot of credit to Minnesota. They did a good job,
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: especially in the past game and protection and uh, it's
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: a good unit.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: Would you like.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Those about the second half adjustments in the name of that? Uh,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: you know, I think all year our guys done a
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: great job with the you know, the third quarter, the
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: first drive of the third quarter. So the the communications
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: at halftime has been great. Our assistant coaches, you know, uh,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: everybody getting together and beat on the same page. But uh, no,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: I thought it was it was positive job finishing in
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: the run game in the second half.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: What's the trade off between when you're playing against which
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: is to get the quarterback on the move coul legs
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: up versus cutting off half of the field or do that?
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah? I think that, you know, that's something a part
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: of our offense. We always like to get to you know,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: sometimes we're playing the scheme that has really wide edges,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: where it's where it's not as possible, but as much
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: as we can. That's something that we're always trying to do. Yeah. Absolutely,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: you know they were taking some of those things away,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: and there's plenty of opportunities that probably opportunities missed as
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: far as myself not getting us in those positions. But
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: just to credit to our run game, you know, I
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: thought we did a good job.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: He was talking at Jackson today and as having just
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: simply one twenty six zero and some receivers might get
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: upset him to handle a rare quiet game.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: I think that tells you, you know all you need
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: to know about him. You know, he's a he's a
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: team first guy, and I would have loved to get
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: him more opportunities, but uh that's why, you know, that's
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: why he is who he is. He's a he's a
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: team good teammate first and a great player second. And
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: I think all the guys around the locker rooms that
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: about him balance and wanted to get him more even
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: when they're determined to kind of try to take him
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: out of it. Uh, Well, it's not as tough with
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: with guys like Jacks, you know, it's it's all about
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: winning the game, and there's more than one ways to win.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Our guys has done a good job through the air
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: this year. But it was good to go play a
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: game a different way. Obviously, our defense was phenomenal, but
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: you know, sustaining drives is something that we've been preaching
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: and I thought we did a better job of that
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: in the last game.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: When you do look at the kind of the few
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: protection challenges from the first half, what would you kind
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: of see being the root issues of a couple of
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: those where they just kind of getting the right calls
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: and it was sometimes they'll bringing more than the more
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: period kind of what did you kind of see out
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: of that as a whole.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think number one, just credit to Minnesota with
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: what what they did h schematically. You know, a team
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: that you're ready, you're ready to bring blitz is what
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: they do. But you know, we had some communication areas,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: we had some technique airs, we had some bad play calls,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: so you know a lot of things that we had
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: to fix going into the second half.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: I think the third and most accent the league, they
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: like to put a lot wait to see out of there.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: You know, yeah, I get another really well coached unit
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: obviously know how to attack protections. They got some really
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: good rushers that you know obviously at the defensive line position,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: but linebackers as well. So you know, it's another another
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: week of a team that we got to get ready
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: for their pressures. Similar different blitzing in Minnesota. You know,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: I just think in the in the third down situations
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: I think they have, they just present a lot of
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: problems to your protections. They do a great job of
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: scheming and ups. They have some really talented coaches on
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: that staff, and and they know how to use their players.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: As a kid around the NFL, what was it like
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: moving around as your dad had to move around? Is
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: that a fun thing a hard thing? I was really
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: blessed that I didn't have to do that too much. Uh,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: you know, only had to go a few places. My
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: brothers weren't as lucky, just based on when they were born.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: But it's part part of the gig. And it's also
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: you know, one of the privileges too. You get to
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: see different parts of the world, and that's what I'm
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: trying to teach my kids right now too, is to
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: see the see the positive in it.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: Back to the defense and what makes them so good.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: They're really good if the inside or are they doing
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: a bit different down there than what you've seen or
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: what other teams present.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's a great question. Look forward to
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: studying that more than night. It's kind of our red
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: zone night, our strike zone night. But you know, I
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: think I think this is a really good defense. I
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: think they know, they know what they're doing schematically, they
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: know how to attack protections, they know how to you know,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: attack what you do best. So we got to go
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: put our heads together upstairs and put a plan together.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Even without Rashid catching a lot of balls, are you
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: seeing defenses like having to account for him and open
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: up things for other players? Yeah, I think it's probably. No,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: I think it's it's that definitely helps your run game,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: you know, with guys like like him and and eleven
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: on the field. As far as the kind of coverage
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: that you get, you know, you get to you get
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: to a one receiver set as well, and you put
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: put twenty two or eleven out there and they still
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: demand coverage and help, you know, sometimes help you get
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: a you know, lesser boxes that she's been doing a
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: great job. And he's he had a really good practice today,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: like like he always does, and I just see him
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: and Sam's you know, chemistry growing.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: I don't think we ever asked.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: You about your own like football playing background. How did
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: you end up playing safety?
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: Uh?
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Well, I would have loved to play offense. And then
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: I got to Colorade State and they told him they
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: couldn't run. They're right, so put me on the defensive
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: side of the ball. Uh, just just the way it
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: all worked out. I was really glad the way it
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: worked out. Loved my time playing defense, you know, coming
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: out of high school, always saw myself as an offensive
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: skill player and then got to go see a different
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: side of the world up there in Fort Collins, and Uh.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: What a you know, what a blessing that was.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: Forgive me for not knowing this, but what did you
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: play offensively? Uh?
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: In high school? Back in high school played receiver.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, was there ever a thought of playing quarterback?
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: Yes?
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: It was not a good thrower of the football. So
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: UH took my medicine and want to go play a
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: position I could I could play get more reps at
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: My younger brother is a good quarterback.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: Clay.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: He's a good player, good quarterback. Yeah, I think so.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: I think. I think anytime, you know, especially like some
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: of the young coaches we get to work with that
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: come from the other side of the ball, it's such
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: an important perspective when you're lining up scout teams and
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: just seeing the overall picture. So I think I think
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: that that's helpful to have multiple perspectives, uh, coaching offense
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: and defense.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: Did you have any opportunities to play offensive any college?
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: No, as I was a dB at Colorado State five
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: great years with the Rams.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: Anything else, Thanks for asking me.
