Press Pass | Campanile & Udinski on Readiness for Patriots, Executing on All Phases · Press Pass

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: I know last week you talked about the rotation at quarterback.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 0:04
  Speaker 3: But just could you break down sort of what the
• 0:06
  Speaker 3: philosophy behind that is?
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like I said last week, we feel like we
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: had a bunch of good players there. Guys that do
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: a good job and have worked their tail off. We
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: feel good about all those guys. So keeping them fresh
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: and rotating them all, that's kind of been the philosophy
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: behind it.
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: Is there a challenge in particular with Travis just because
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: he didn't play much last year?
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: To sort of get him more reps? Like what's the
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: balance there between rotating and also helping you?
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's always a challenge to a degree.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: You know, the more reps obviously you get, the better
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: you're going to be. So I think as time goes,
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: you're always looking at those things. Every game's a little
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: bit different, you know, and those conversations are always being
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: had every game.
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: It can change week to week. But, yeah, that's always
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: a challenge. The way the Broncos.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Offense kind of attacked with some of the quick sets,
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: quick throws, and reset in.
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: The pocket, how can you impact the quarterback a little
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: bit when they're doing that stuff to kind of negate.
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: Some of the rush?
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I've got to do a better job,
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: first and foremost. You know, you go back and you
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: look at that, I think probably just too loose in
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: some situations.
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: Not probably.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: I think we were too loose in some situations. And ultimately,
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: you know, that's on me. I've got to do a
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: better job with that. We have mentioned on Monday there's
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: a lot of maybe too much volume in the plan
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: against Denver.
• 1:22
  Speaker 5: Did you feel that way, or was.
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: It just right? Yeah, I think you're always looking at
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: that every game.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: Obviously, when you don't get the result that you want,
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: you go back and you look at it and you say, hey,
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: if there was any time you have a miscommunication or
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: we have an eye violation or something like that, I
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: always look at that, and you've got to look inward first.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: That's possibly the issue, having too much volume in the
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: game plan. and paring it down at times has been
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: good for us, you know, in the past. That's something
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: you're always looking at. But, yeah, coming out of that game,
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: I think that's, I would agree with Coach's sentiment.
• 1:56
  Speaker 5: How did your practice go yesterday?
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: I thought we had a great practice yesterday.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: I thought a bunch of guys in particular had a
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: really good practice, you know, that jumped out to me.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: I thought Travis had a great practice. He's one of
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: those guys yesterday. So, yeah, I was pleased with our practice,
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: our effort. Seemed like there was a little bit of
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: anger out there, which is always a good thing. You know,
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: football is a game of a lot of emotions, and
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: mad is usually a good one.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: When you look at that Patriots offense, what do you see?
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: I see a really good unit.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: I see a really athletic quarterback who's super accurate on
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: the deep ball. It's honestly, it's been a great system
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: for 20-some-odd years. You know, and I think Coach McDaniel's
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: done an unbelievable job in his career, you know, everywhere
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: he's been, but certainly in New England. of making you
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: be sound defensively, you know, and he has a great
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: eye for seeing what he can take advantage of. And
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: I think they've done a great job of that. Certainly
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: last year, the whole season and this year starting out.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: What kind of challenges that when a team has two
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: running backs, they would kind of lead on instead of
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: just a one.
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: And they're, they're both great players, a little bit different,
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: but that's a challenge, you know, getting in there. And
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: I think Stevenson is a physical runner. I think they're
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: both physical runners. Um, but yeah, that's, that's definitely a
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: challenge because you got some guys that can, can break it.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: You know, if you don't get your eyes right, you're
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: not playing with gap integrity. There's not a team tackling mentality.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: Those things are going to show up and they're going
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: to get you. And they've gotten people that way. Uh,
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: you know, since Josh has been back there, I think
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: they've done a good job getting those guys touches, uh,
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: because they're guys that can get the ball down the
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: field for them.
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: I know Devon's played really well for you guys since
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: you got there.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: Was Sunday one of his best games that you think
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: he's had?
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: Devon, yeah.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: He actually was one of the guys I felt like
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: played really, really well the other day. And like everybody,
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: there's things you want to improve, but I thought he
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: was very consistent.
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: He's been really good for us.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: He's a team leader for us, in my opinion, and
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: certainly a guy on our side of the ball that
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: has done a really good job and been practicing his
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: ass off, and he's just getting better and better.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: I basically got to see Romeo Dobbs on the practice
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: field at Green Bay.
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: Good man. What type of challenge does he present now
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: that you're on the other.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: Side of that?
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Romeo can really run. You know, he's a deep
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: threat type of guy. And he's, in my opinion, a very,
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: very good route runner, especially at the top of the route.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: He's got great body control and a really good stop start.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: So that's the biggest challenge with a guy like that.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: You know, you're going to have to play with great
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: eye discipline on the line of scrimmage and in the
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: break area. when you're in man-to-man situations against him, because
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: he really is.
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: He does all those things well.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Does it feel like your DBs are responding to what
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: happened last week?
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think everybody's responding. I've responded a certain way.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: The unit has responded a certain way. Nobody's happy about it.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: I think everybody's got a level of pissed off in here,
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: which is a good thing. That's just me being honest.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: You've got to practice that way. There's only one way.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: To fix anything, it's get back to work. It's not
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: get sad. It's get back to work. You can have
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: a little bit of anger about the result, but the
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: reality is you've got to move on and you've got
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: to focus on what can get you better and get
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: you the result that you're looking for, and that's practice
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: and the way that you practice, doing things intentionally, doing
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: things with detail, and just being a maniac about it
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: every day. That's the only way I know. That's the
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: only way these guys know, and we have to respond
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: that way.
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: We have to.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: You talked about tricks, athleticism and being able to break
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: the pocket. Does it help you that the two quarterbacks
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: that you played previously also have those same tricks and
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: able to move a little bit?
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, two other elusive guys.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: But, you know, this game, obviously every game is a
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: little bit different, but he certainly presents a challenge. He's
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: done an unbelievable job with his legs and his arm,
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: but he's been able to extend plays and hurt people,
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: you know, in big games getting out of the pocket.
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: So that's definitely a challenge this week for us. Moses,
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: an old pro, I might tackle for that. How does
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: he use that experience at his age?
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's, I mean, I've coached against him a few
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: times in the past. I just think he's a really
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: good player. They got a bunch of good guys.
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: In the front.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: You know, Vera Tucker's another guy who's with the Jets, too,
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: when I was in Miami. So I think they've got
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: some physical guys, and Moses definitely brings that to their
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: offensive line.
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: He's got a certain physicality that they benefit from.
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: Ventrell had another solid game. How's his kind of track
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: been since the season started?
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's done a really good job overall. I felt
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: like even in the last game, he did a good job.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: He's a guy you can rely on to set the
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: tone physically for the defense. And that's one thing that
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: I feel like he's done over the first two games.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: He's looking to improve. He's trying to do extra. Um,
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: and I think all of our teammates, all of his
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: teammates see that, you know, and that's been a good
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: thing for our defense.
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: I thought Dennis, um, the other day, I thought he
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: had a pretty good game overall. Um, you know, he's
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: a guy that's always going to give you a constant effort. And, uh,
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: we got a bunch of effort out of Dennis the
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: other day and, uh, you know, just talking to him.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: I mean, everybody, everybody wants to, get a little bit
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: better and get the product better and get the result
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: that we want. So he's back to work and, but
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: I appreciate his effort.
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: I thought he did a good job the other day too.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Early in practice yesterday, you guys kind of did, I
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: don't know the exact name of it, but it was
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: like a special team circuit.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: And I noticed the defense does it a lot.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: What was kind of the purpose of having, you know,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: offensive guys mix in with some of those other guys?
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's just really a fundamental thing.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: And coach Cohen, um, that's one of the things he
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: believes in, I think is something that has helped us
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: as a, as a team. You know, look, both sides
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: are involved in special teams, you know? So for the
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: offensive players, it's important that they have, you know, they're
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: being coached on some of that stuff also. And I
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: think it gives us a chance to coach those guys also.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: And just to work on some of the fundamental things
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: and block destruction and tackling for those guys who are
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: offensive players that play special teams for us, you know,
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: and help us, uh, win games. I don't think he
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: can ever do enough of that stuff. Uh, you know,
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: I know coach believes that too. Um, so I, I honestly,
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: I enjoy that part of the practice. That's, that's a
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: cool thing that we get a chance to work with
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: them that way. Uh, and I think it's beneficial for
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: those guys too.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Is that something that's unique in your experience? Like in
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: different places, have you had like head coaches say, yeah,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: I need you to go get hands on with the
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: offensive guys on.
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: Special teams or is that, it is kind of unique.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: Um, I want to say my first two years in Miami,
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: we had something a little bit similar. Um, when, uh,
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: flow was there, we did something similar where there was
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: a little bit of carry over, you know, for special teams. Um,
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: but I know Liam really values all of that. You know,
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: he's got an eye on all that stuff. And, um,
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: that was kind of his idea. He wanted to make
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: sure that we're all working with the guys, hands on
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: talking about fundamentals of tackling and block destruction. Um, And
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: there is a lot to it, so there's a lot
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: to coach and there's a lot to learn from for
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: those guys. And I think it's really good to get
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: a chance to work with some of our defensive coaches
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: as well.
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: When you look back at the tape, just what sort
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: of went wrong, I guess, during.
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: The Denver game? I think there's a lot of things
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: that we can do better as coaches, and I know
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: the players feel the same way too. Ultimately, it comes
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: down to our execution. I think as coaches, we're always
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: going to go back and look at the things we
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: did in the plan and say, how could we have
• 9:37
  Speaker 5: built plays differently? How can we have package formations or
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: motions differently to try to put guys in a better
• 9:43
  Speaker 5: position to be successful? Or maybe what was it a
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: personnel issue where we played in 12 personnel or 11
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: personnel or three tight ends on the field and we
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: should have been in other personnel. So we examine all
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: of it. I think that as a coaching staff, I
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: know for me personally, at least there are certain things
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: that we did that I would have loved to have
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: maybe tweaked now looking back and there are certain things
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: that we didn't get to that i would have loved
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: to have gotten to or different ways even we deployed
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: the plan trying to get into a rhythm and get
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: things going but that that tends to happen you play
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: a good defense you don't fully get the plan executed
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: as you envision maybe throughout the week so I know
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: there's a lot of things as coaches, myself personally, that
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: I would love to have gone back and say, man,
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: I wish this guy was in a better position to
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: be successful. And then ultimately as an offense collectively, it
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: really just came down to our execution on all the
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: different phases of the game, whether it was a couple
• 10:28
  Speaker 5: of third downs that were critical, the red zone, trying
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: to get touchdowns every time we get down there, or
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: even early in drives on first down, too many second
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: and long situations for us.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: Some of the issues in pass protection, was it just
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: identifying or was it, you know, good on good, somebody's
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: got to win?
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: I think it was a combination of things. That's probably
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: one of the things that I look back on and say, man,
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: could I have put those guys in a better spot
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: to be successful? Because we try to stay aggressive even
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: in the protection game. We want to feel like we're
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: attacking defenses. And there are certain elements of that where
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: you try to design a protection to attack what the
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: defense does from a rush standpoint. Who are their premier rushers?
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: What are their best rush packages? And what is their
• 11:08
  Speaker 5: rush plan? And I think looking back at it, you
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: see that they did an excellent job deploying that plan
• 11:14
  Speaker 5: and their guys made plays in some of those early
• 11:18
  Speaker 5: downs earlier in the game. And I think having a
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: plan going into that where I put the guys in
• 11:22
  Speaker 5: a better position to be successful would have helped those
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: guys out. It was encouraging to see them make the
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: adjustments and settle in there later in the game. And
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: even a couple plays, you saw the long throw down
• 11:32
  Speaker 5: to Parker that got us down to the one-yard line.
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: That was phenomenal protection. So they had their reps of
• 11:36
  Speaker 5: showing the ability to do it. It was just the
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: consistent execution early and maybe some things that I look
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: at that would have loved to adjust it from the
• 11:43
  Speaker 5: way we attacked them from a protection standpoint that I
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: think would have helped us.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: Did the Broncos make some adjustments in coverage throughout the
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: game that made it a little difficult to execute later on?
• 11:54
  Speaker 5: They certainly tweaked things throughout the game. I think they
• 11:57
  Speaker 5: also tweaked things to our personnel from a game plan
• 12:01
  Speaker 5: standpoint that presented challenges for us, the way they treated
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: our different receivers and the way they kind of treated
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: our route distributions in different situations, whether it was third
• 12:10
  Speaker 5: down being treated different than first down and then 12%
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: when we have two tight ends on the field being
• 12:14
  Speaker 5: treated than when we have one tight end on the field. Now,
• 12:17
  Speaker 5: those were things that we had a plan for and
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: anticipated that, but I think they did a great job
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: of executing that plan and made it challenging for us.
• 12:24
  Speaker 5: And it's something that is a great opportunity for our
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: guys to learn from seeing some of those different coverages,
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: whether they're playing cloud or cover two to a certain side,
• 12:31
  Speaker 5: or whether they're adjusting their coverages on the run, you
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: probably know and recognize we use a lot of shift
• 12:36
  Speaker 5: in motion. And they were able to change their coverages
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: based on our formations as we're motioning and shifting. And
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: that's a challenge to them and a credit to them,
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: but it's something that we've got to do a better
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: job of having the plan and having the answers as
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: we continue to shift in motion to still be able
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: to execute plays as they get in and out of
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: their coverages. I think in the run game, the runs
• 12:57
  Speaker 5: probably speak for themselves. The yards after contact, being able
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: to find the reads. I think his reads themselves have improved.
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: You see it.
• 13:03
  Speaker 5: In some of the wide zone and some of those
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: toss plays where he's getting out on the edge, it
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: highlights his speed and his ability to find those creases
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: or navigate those blocks at the second and third levels,
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: whether it's on a corner or on a safety. And
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: I think in the protection game, we haven't got to
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: feature him quite as much as we would like to
• 13:19
  Speaker 5: in the route game as a pass catcher, but you
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: see him more out there in the protection game and
• 13:23
  Speaker 5: in passing situations feel really comfortable with him out there
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: picking up blitzes and recognizing the different pressures that I
• 13:29
  Speaker 5: mentioned that teams like Denver, teams like New England bring.
• 13:32
  Speaker 5: So I think the growth has been pretty consistent in
• 13:35
  Speaker 5: all areas. It just doesn't always show up on Sunday.
• 13:37
  Speaker 5: Like would have loved to have seen a couple more
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: targets to them at this point in week two. But
• 13:41
  Speaker 5: like I mentioned, when you don't kind of get in
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: a rhythm, you limit some of those opportunities, but really
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: pleased with the way those guys, that room collectively have
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: attacked the growth as complete backs. Well, It's kind of
• 13:57
  Speaker 5: like the opposite of what I talked about for us
• 13:59
  Speaker 5: with the lack of execution. They do a phenomenal job
• 14:01
  Speaker 5: of executing that scheme, whether it's the man coverage, the
• 14:04
  Speaker 5: zone coverages, they can mix and match a bunch of
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: different things that they do to you. They have a
• 14:07
  Speaker 5: bunch of different fronts and pressure presentations. They're not afraid
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: to attack you from a pressure standpoint and any down
• 14:13
  Speaker 5: and distance, you get pressure really from any direction. It
• 14:16
  Speaker 5: could be a corner outside. It could be a linebacker
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: inside corner on the opposite side. And then all the
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: guys can rush. All the guys can cover. So that
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: makes it really challenging on a down where most of
• 14:24
  Speaker 5: the time they know you're throwing the ball. So, They
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: get groups out there that are really well-coordinated up front
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: with their rush, their plans, their twists, their games, and
• 14:31
  Speaker 5: then they can combine that with the pressure packages. You're
• 14:34
  Speaker 5: basically preparing for what you might see over the course
• 14:37
  Speaker 5: of four weeks in one week, if that makes sense.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: This week it was Sartain, this week it's Christian Gonzalez.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: What is it about the highest-paid cornerback in the league?
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: Yeah, well, it's probably all those things I just talked about.
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: When you get a guy who is great in man
• 14:51
  Speaker 5: coverage and then can turn around and play great in
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: vision zone coverage and get his hands on the balls,
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: And then you look at the run game, and he's
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: one of the surest tacklers from a corner standpoint, getting
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: up there and fitting the run and attacking people. He
• 15:02
  Speaker 5: can do so many things. When you have a man
• 15:05
  Speaker 5: corner like that who's been able to match top receivers
• 15:08
  Speaker 5: and play man the whole game and then do those
• 15:10
  Speaker 5: other things, that's exceptionally rare.
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: What's the thought process of when you guys deploy Travis
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: on offense?
• 15:17
  Speaker 5: I think that's still evolving. One of those things that
• 15:19
  Speaker 5: we're trying to find, whether it's Travis or any of
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: our offensive guys, what's the best way to use those
• 15:23
  Speaker 5: guys and get the best 11 on the field, given
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: the situation we know first and 10 is different than
• 15:27
  Speaker 5: third and 10. And the red zone is different than
• 15:30
  Speaker 5: when we're at the minus 20. We're trying to find
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: a balance with Travis, just like any other player on
• 15:35
  Speaker 5: what he's doing on defense with offense, just like you
• 15:37
  Speaker 5: would with a running back who might have special teams
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: responsibilities or, as opposed to giving a guy 40 touches
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: as much as we'd love to give the two in
• 15:44
  Speaker 5: the ball every play, trying to find the balance with him. Well,
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: it's the same thing for Travis, but he's just got
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: that extra workload on defense. So I think it's something
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: we'll continue to look at and say, is it better
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: on more first and second down, more third down? Is
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: it better in 11 personnel, 12 personnel? We've got tight
• 15:58
  Speaker 5: ends on the field. Is he better running these routes
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: or those routes? So that's something that I think whatever
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: the answer is for what it looks like this year,
• 16:05
  Speaker 5: excuse me, at this week, may be different by the
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: end of the year as we continue to try to
• 16:09
  Speaker 5: find that for.
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: Him.
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: I think there's certainly an element of game planning going
• 16:24
  Speaker 5: into games where you want to make sure that you've
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: got something for everybody, where we want to feature Bretton
• 16:30
  Speaker 5: on a couple plays and Jacoby on a couple plays
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: and Parker on a couple plays and Tootin on a
• 16:34
  Speaker 5: couple plays. And the nice thing is we have so
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: many guys that we want to get the ball. The
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: downside of it is, especially when you don't get into
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: a rhythm in a game and you're facing a lot
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: of second alongs and third alongs, you lose the ability
• 16:44
  Speaker 5: to distribute the ball maybe the way you want it
• 16:46
  Speaker 5: to going into the week. And I think we felt
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: that a little bit on Sunday. So from a game
• 16:50
  Speaker 5: plan perspective, we certainly have that mindset going into the week.
• 16:54
  Speaker 5: But once you get into the game, you've got to
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: call the best plays for that situation, for the team,
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: for the offense. The great thing about those guys is
• 17:02
  Speaker 5: they're so selfless that they're willing to do what's best
• 17:04
  Speaker 5: for the team. at all times. And I, I really
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: appreciate that about them because not everybody's built like that,
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: even though, you know, as coaches, we say the cliches
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: of putting the team before yourself and all of those
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: different things, those guys, whether it's Brenton and Jacoby, those
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: guys you mentioned, or even Parker and BT, all those guys,
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: we're really, really fortunate here to have a group that
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: actually lives that every day. So it makes it fun
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: for the quarterback. It makes it fun for those guys,
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: makes it fun for the teammates when they see each
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: other scoring and they're all out there celebrating where they've
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: gotten their touches or not. Now, like, You mentioned it's
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: our job as coaches to continue to find ways to
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: distribute the ball because we have the skill guys that
• 17:38
  Speaker 5: can all do so much with the ball in their hands.
• 17:53
  Speaker 5: That's a great point. Not only from Hainsey and Jonah,
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: but really the whole offensive line. They've done a great
• 17:58
  Speaker 5: job of communicating the things that they're seeing and how
• 18:01
  Speaker 5: they're being played from a defensive standpoint. because like you
• 18:05
  Speaker 5: mentioned about the coverage you go into a game expecting
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: them to play a certain way but they from a
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: tech the defense from a technique standpoint may have adjusted
• 18:12
  Speaker 5: some things to the way we're playing so we may
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: run a certain screen or a certain run play based
• 18:18
  Speaker 5: on the way those guys feel like they're hitting blocks
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: or we may try to get to a certain series
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: of runs or a certain protection adjustment based on how
• 18:24
  Speaker 5: they feel those guys are rushing them so When you're
• 18:28
  Speaker 5: a coach, you can see things on the picture, you
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: can see things live, but it's really difficult to see
• 18:32
  Speaker 5: all 22 on the field at the same time and
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: the depth and detail that those guys field out there
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: on the field. So to get that feedback from the
• 18:38
  Speaker 5: guys is a huge crucial element of making those in-game
• 18:41
  Speaker 5: adjustments or just getting to a certain play call based
• 18:44
  Speaker 5: on the way they're playing us. So the growth from
• 18:47
  Speaker 5: those guys from year one to year two across the board,
• 18:49
  Speaker 5: whether it's Hainsey and Jonah or the whole offensive line
• 18:51
  Speaker 5: is really valuable for us.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: We're talking about Parker. You said you didn't want to
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: take like what he's doing for granted, but to see
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: what he's been able to do, just kind of keep ascending.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: How special is that?
• 19:04
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a, it's, it's exciting to see. Like I say,
• 19:08
  Speaker 5: when those guys are celebrating for each other, getting touchdowns,
• 19:11
  Speaker 5: I mean, I feel the same way as watching Parker
• 19:13
  Speaker 5: go out there and light it up when he gets those.
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: Opportunities, because you see how hard he works.
• 19:17
  Speaker 5: I'm sure you guys have heard it from everyone else
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: that he's in here so early in the morning. never complains,
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: never has a bad word to say, excited to be here,
• 19:24
  Speaker 5: has great energy, works his tail off on the field,
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: is willing to get any extra routes after practice, any
• 19:29
  Speaker 5: work you need. He's always putting in the extra work,
• 19:31
  Speaker 5: whether it's taking care of his body, studying the film,
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: talking with Trevor. You see him talking in between reps
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: at practice all the time. So he's a guy that
• 19:39
  Speaker 5: probably deserves all of the success he's had and more.
• 19:43
  Speaker 5: So I don't have enough good things to say about
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: him and really that group as a whole. Have you
• 19:48
  Speaker 5: been pleased with the response this week last week in practice?
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: Please, whew.
• 19:53
  Speaker 5: That's an interesting question. Yeah, I don't know that I
• 19:56
  Speaker 5: would use the word pleased ever for anything, so that's
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: probably a bad answer by me. I've been excited to
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: get back to work with the guys, and I appreciate
• 20:04
  Speaker 5: the effort and the intensity that they've had, because you
• 20:07
  Speaker 5: certainly feel those guys being intentional about the way they
• 20:10
  Speaker 5: practice and the way they come into meeting rooms. I mean,
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: the guys are locked in. They're spitting out answers left
• 20:15
  Speaker 5: and right. They're staying focused. Then we go through the walkthrough.
• 20:17
  Speaker 5: They're very detailed and intentional about those things. So there
• 20:20
  Speaker 5: certainly is a level of urgency, a level of intention,
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: a level of detail that those guys have brought. Pleased is, yeah,
• 20:27
  Speaker 5: that's an interesting word for me to say, but I
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: appreciate their work without a doubt.
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I appreciate it, guys.
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: Thank you.
