  Speaker 1: We do good good. It's a little bit of a foray. Yeah,
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: I know I have.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: How did your.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Time in a plan to influenced your defense in the
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: last obviously quite a lot. You know, Like the guys
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: I was around there, they had a huge impact on
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: my career, just how they kind of groom me as
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: a coach because I came that was my first job
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: from England. So like the belief they had in me,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: the way they made me understand organizational skills, skills in
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: this league. It wasn't necessarily the kind of football, the football,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: the acumen necessarily always they gave me. They just they
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: taught me about how this league works, how to coach
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: and it, how to prepare, and I'm so grateful for that.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: They just could guess, you guys used a lot more
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: three down linemen and against forty nine ers. Is Roy
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: Robertson Harris and Roy Robertson Harris is going to be
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: a big Is he going to be a part of
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: of that plan going forward?
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Definitely, Yeah, he like obviously like he has a
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: ability to play at the three spot, the four, the
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: four eyes and the five, the six, you know, like
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: so he definitely has the ability to play big in
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: pre technique.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, getting Byron back, what can that do for you's huge?
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: You know, I think you know, as we're a rotation
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: with d Lion, taking reps off other guys as well
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: and giving quality reps to the game is huge. And
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: allowing him I think, you know, for us it's been
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: hard not to have him, but I think that for
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: him it could be a blessing in to the guys
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: to kind of. It's not many times a rookie gets
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: to step back in the middle of his rookie year,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: evaluate the season, look at things and be like, oh,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: that's what you're talking about, because once you're in the
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: middle of it, it's like everything's moving. But I feel
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: like he's come back and he's he's on fire. Would
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: you learn about him during this process because he said
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: it was the first time he never his games, first
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: time he's been hurt. Yeah, full stop. And I think
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: you know every time with Byron, it's like all he
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: does is work. He just like literally keeps his head down,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: doesn't say much and just works and he's done the
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: same thing. He just put himself to work, stands there,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: takes his mental reps. He's coming like he's you can
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: see off the side, he's him and the group are
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: connecting way more and he's he's influencing the group more.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: But he just works. He kind of just gone with
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: it and went to work double team.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Rate when he was playing before. When he's taking that
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: on and documenting a couple of guys.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: What can they do for the rest of It's not
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: necessarily like, like, I know it says you have a
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: double team rate, but just if he's sometimes the slides
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: just the way he is on the field, the slide
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: is coming to him, but it obviously does. I think
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: what you see is not necessarily the double team rate.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: I think he has the ability to split the double team.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: He has the ability and the power to kind of
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: push that pocket. A lot of people once they hit
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: a double team, they stop and they kind of try
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: and balance the rush off that Byron has the ability
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: and lower strength to split that. And I'm only seen
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: a couple of guys that can do that.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: You know, not having rays on for a little while.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: What's that going to do to your second I think
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: it's two.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: It's two phases. One like one is like rational as
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: the person you know, like I feel for him, because
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: he's done some great things for us this year. He's
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: like a huge influence of the leader on the defense,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: and you want that guy on the field with your guys,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: you know, like he's a kind of five starter for us.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: I think on the other hand, I think it's an
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: opportunity for these guys that have been playing, have been communicating,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: have been practicing well, and is not necessarily the next
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: man up mentality, But it's the fact that whoever comes off,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: you're trying to it's our job to coach the group
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: and say how much of a drop up? There can't
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: be a drop off when these guys come in, you know,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: And I'm excited to see these guys play.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: What do you get your first guys on Jared Reid?
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: Where do you see him being able to be dibe
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: on the field at safety? Nickel? Where does he play back?
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: I'll be really honest with you, like he's been working
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: in the safety at the moment, but I'm still evaluating,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Like it's literally like he's been working off and I
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: don't want to say something that I haven't got the
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: full pitchure, but he's been working in safety at the moment,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: and he's just got great energy. You know, you feed
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: them in practice, and I'm just glad he's been working
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: so hard off on the side that he's coming in
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: and now he's getting some real work.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: What about Tyer Katter, you gets some reps?
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Like, like I just said exactly that it's that guy.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Whoever those guys are coming on Sunday, I expect the
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: play to be at the same standard and tie it's
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: part of that crew is replacing Rayshawan a bunch of guys.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: It's like Kobe get or. I think as we go
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: through it, it will be a bunch of guys because
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: we play different groupings of people, so it's like it's
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: a bunch of guys and as we rotate through that,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: that's the way we'll see it.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: Going back to Byron Murphy and him shedding the blockers.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: How important is that for your interior to do that
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: to help in the run.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: Game, That's very important.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: No, it's like, obviously you if you can, if you
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: can take you got two guys and it's four guys
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: on him, and one of those guys can split two
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: guys and make the tip cool, it's huge. You know,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: you change the math instantly, so it's a huge part
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: of the way we play defense and glad he's back, and.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Then the linebackers is that where the timing that I
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: have to figure out where that gap is to come
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: in for your secondary level.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Not necessarily, it's not the timing. It's necessarily the fits
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: and the fallbacks and how we play that and then
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: it and then it features in what kind of defense
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: you're in. You know, there's there's there's levels to it
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: of fits versus different defenses you're in. At those times
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: when you guys did the self scouting stuff over the weekend,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: what did you see.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: From your play action.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: We saw? I would say, obviously it's something you want
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: to shine a light on because you look, when you're
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: looking at self scout, you want to look at areas
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: that you're necessarily kind of not definitely are sometimes struggling in,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: you know, and where do we need to grow in that.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: We we pinpointed some areas and we've been focusing on
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: them in the practice and we're trying to prove on them.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: When you've got linebackers that are maybe struggling with runfits
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: at times or jumping into different gaps, is that something
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: that is you see as a coaching opportunity or is
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: that something instinctually that either people kind of have or
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: they don't.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: I think everything's coaching, like like the in any situation,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: just like the question you asked me about splitting a
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: double team, that's coaching. Obviously people's abilities come into it,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: but understanding how you coach your fits. That's on us.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: That's that's not on them, that's us
