  Speaker 1: William just up there.

• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I do go ahead too. I was just wondering, I'm.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Still working through that one right now. Yeah, I still
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: get it's a great day for him to be able
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: to get an opportunity to continue to see what that
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: looks like and still got really two days, three days actually.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: In terms of Eric Murray, what is shoot out to
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: you about his approach and as professionalism.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Eric's a guy that I mean really when he speaks,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: it means something.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: He's he knows how to talk to everybody, like every
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: all walks of life he can communicate with. He's not
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: necessarily an overly chatty person. So when he does have
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: comments and have points to make, you know, I think
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: most people are really paying attention. He's been very diligent
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: about his preparation and ownership of the back end in
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: terms of the communication in and then Man he played
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: physical and opportunistic as well. So was was really Yeah,
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: a couple of things got to clean up. But I've
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: been very pleased with Eric saw Jordan.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Eric said, you know, you really wanted a communication and
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: back end.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: Have you seen that kind of resonate through last Sunday
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: and through practice. Absolutely, you know, those two were definitely
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: guys that we wanted to target early in the in
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: the process and have those those areas of improvement that
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: we were looking for, you know, have showed up. They've
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: showed up kind of since they both got here. So
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: it was immediate in a lot of ways. But ultimately,
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: your your teammates and everybody are going to truly trust
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: you and believe when you put it on tape and
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: actually on a Sunday ball game. So I think both
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: of those guys making plays on Sunday only helped their cause.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: What Tyson, since you got here and I mean how
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: big of the challenge is for him this week? Yeah,
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: I mean a guy that has embraced everything around here
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: in terms of the way that he's tried to go
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: about working in the off season program. You know, his
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: conditioning just he's been in great shape. You know, obviously
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: he's been battling you know. I mean that's the one
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: thing about Tyson is when he plays with confidence and
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: he trusts and believes in his abilities that he has,
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: you know, he can be dominant.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: He can be dominant.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: It's just a continuing to have that belief that you win,
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: go get your hands on people like go use your length,
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: go use your traits to go play physical and take
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: the fight to them. That is going to be key
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: and critical this week obviously not just for Tyson, but
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: for our whole unit in the back end especially. But
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: I do think that Tyson has continued to do this
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: and now this is a great challenge for him against
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: quality opponents. What are your go and chooses? Played fest
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Coal on the ball earlier your coaching career, is there
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: a coach or something or else you really sort of
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: stressed out PORTSBA technique in front of Meal standpoint? Well,
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: I mean I threw the ball as a high school
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: quarterback for my dad like ten times a game. So
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: it started as a young where it was instilled for sure,
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: and then as you you know, go throughout the process
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: in the in the coaching profession. I was really fortunate
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: in college as a player to play for Don Brown,
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: you know, who was a defensive head coach that was
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: so in college it was then also brought to me
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: that way. And then obviously when you go and work
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: for for Sean, you know you think of him. I
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: guess a lot of people like as you know this.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: You know Star Wars the ball is going over the place.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: But he was a tight ends coach in Washington before
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: he became a coordinator, and so a lot of the
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: run game details and mindset and mentality do come from that.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: And so like when I got there, I learned, you know,
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: past concepts or past concepts, You learn a lot about
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: the details in the NFL versus maybe where I was
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: that at main, but the plays were similar. The detail
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: in the run game and his ownership of the run
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: game as an offensive head coach. I thought that was
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: what made him different. And I learned so much about
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: more so about the defense than just the offensive scheme.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: It's like, okay, how did these blocks or these motions
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: affect the defense? And mastering that so he's always won.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: I mean we ran the ball really well in twenty
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: eighteen when we went to the super Bowl. You know,
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: it's always been on top of mind for him, and
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: that's a lot of it. Kind of the detail the
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: run game came there. The mindset probably started at a
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: younger age.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Did you book your.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: Travsy can to go?
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: We might have something here as a.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: Perfect fit iness offense, because obviously last years coming out
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: this forty year, right, So that's the first day he
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: watched was last year, it was, but I I, you know,
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: I had an opportunity throughout that process after I got
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: the job, you know, I went all the way, you know,
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: went back to twenty two twenty three, a lot of
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: twenty two twenty three I watched, and man, you saw
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: a guy get ball in space and made people miss and.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Hit the holes hard.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: And you know, sometimes his timing and circumstances happened, and
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: the way that he was portrayed coming off of a
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: tough year, coming into a new setting, you know.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Just everybody, Hey, everybody's got a freshop here.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: Really, he took advantage of it the way he you know,
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: it took some time early on in terms of understanding
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: the demands and the standards. Was once he really got
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: on the same page, it's it's been doing this so
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: I've really appreciated his preparation of the system is not
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: in the way that obviously you know, he played on
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Sunday made that week or whatever that would have made
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: trading tank kind of more. Yeah, yeah, absolutely, no, no question,
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: that's it was a it was a you know, a
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: luxury to have where you're sitting there just because you
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: don't know. You really don't know until you get into
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: a game, and not that one game is you know,
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: the expectation.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: He's had a high.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: Standard in Week one, which is awesome, you know, to
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: expect the one hundred and forty, you know, whatever it
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: is each week. But I've just been pleased with the
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: way he's gone about it, and he obviously proved it
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: on Sunday. Challenging is it to prepare for al golden
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: NFL defense but you've only got one game to go
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: off of with the Bengals, It's definitely you look at
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: especially short yardage goal on certain specific settings in or situations,
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: and you don't have a lot of inventory, so you
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: you do have to have an idea of notre name
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: what they did, situational calls, two point plays, got to habits,
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: all those. You don't really have a ton of evidence
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: from Cleveland, you know, past this past week, so we've
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: had to dive into it, which does make it challenging
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: for sure, where there's just an unknown, almost like going
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: back into a Week one game a little bit where
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: you're like, we could definitely see someone scouted looks here
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: some things that we did not see from last week?
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: All right, what could those be and how do we
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: adjust to those in game? Those are the conversations we've
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: had all week, more about like what could come up
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: that showed up in Notre Dame that maybe didn't show
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: up against Cleveland. But they played salty, they played hard.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: I've got a ton of respect for coach Golden and
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: obviously Zach, but they played hard, they played physical. You
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: know a lot of man coverage too. So we'll have
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: to see how how they adjust and how we can
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: adjust from there.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Week one, Yeah we did, Yeah we did.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: In Week one. Didn't challenge to do that back.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: To bad weeks? Or is that just you? I think
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: we'll see, you know, I think we'll see.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: It's definitely an expectator, like it's something that we have
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: preached and talked about pretty relentlessly. So you're hoping that
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: that's becoming a part of your DNA and part of
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: your identity. But I think in the NFL, with the
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: amount of games that these guys play, it's definitely.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: Challenging to go out and do it week in and
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: week out.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: Like some games, the past game is going to have
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: to come really alive for us to go win, right, Like,
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: there's some games where the run game carries you.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: There's some games that the past game carries you. You
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: want balance, We all want balance.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: To say that you're gonna execute perfect balance each week.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: Is why the defensive guys get paid. So that's where
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: the balance, though comes in and creates is once we
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: get good at both, well, if they're stopping one, you
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: get to deploy the other and still have success within
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: a game you've loved. You know, you want to sit
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: there and say, yes, we rest for two hundred yards
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: and we threw for two hundred and twenty five a
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: game like.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: That's the ideal, that's the goal.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: But others, you know, some games may change who gets in,
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: what part of the group gets deployed more just based
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: on what you know, how we're doing and how the
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: defense is doing. Pretty good, appreciate it.
