  Speaker 1: That's how we do good. Yeah, so it either's you know, uh,
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: bad news down there in Dallas.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: H Marshall, nealand and and obviously you didn't coach him,
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: but you know, you work with all of these young guys,
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: and I'm curious how much you get a chance to
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: kind of feel responsible for for, you know, staying close with.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: These guys as they go through this transition to the NFL. Yeah,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: I think, first of all, condolences to the Needland family,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: cowboys and everyone. That's tragic. Like I think these things
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: like this are just yeah, I you don't really know
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: what to say in moments like this, but my my
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: thoughts and prayers are with them. I think as you
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: go through this, you always like when you go and
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: you coach these guys, you are responsible for them, like
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: like it's a business and I know all these things go,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: but ultimately the real people and human beings. And I
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: think the more you treat people like people and you
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: try and be there, you can't always like you have
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: to check yourself. I was just talking to some of
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: the guys about it this morning, and you have to
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: look at yourself and say do you give time to people?
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Do you do you constantly see them, you know, like
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: because you're coaching tape, Like we forget all these guys
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: are young young men and they're constantly analyzed and constantly
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: questions and it's hard. Yeah, they are their people. When
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: you look at the match up this book against Arizona,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: they've been one of the best teams of converting up
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: the downs. You look at that, what are they doing
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: so well? Hire them? That something they the the guy.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: So lately, Jacoby's been doing a great job of seeing
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: what he's getting and making quick, decisive decisions and getting
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: the ball out.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: You were kind of pounding the table for Rioley Mills
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: during the draft, and you look like you're getting the
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: chances to finally work with them a little bit after practice.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: They're I excited you to to get to see him.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah I am. I actually don't get to work with
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: him right now. I was working with Connor and Mike Mohan.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: He's just watching and listening. He's like a he's like
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: got the most football kind of stamina I've been around
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: for a d lineman. He can literally just absorbed. So
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: he just stands there and watches and he's trying to learn.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: I can't wait for him. He works so hard and
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: he's put so much into him. I know when he
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: gets here it's going to be it's got relax and
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: go for it. But I'm excited to see tire title.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: What can you tell me the participations waiting for this
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: moment in then what.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: He's done with the moment. Yeah, he's taking full advantage
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: of it. And I think he's taken full advantage of
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: the moment by just doing his job. I think as
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: you go, as you get into these moments and you
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: was a backup and you come in and you get
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: your chance to play your first your first job is
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: to play the role and execute the role, and that's
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: what he's doing. And then when you do those things
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: and you're working as part of the defense, as these
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: guys are trying to work as one, good things happen
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: and obviously show it on Sunday night. What guys in
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: that position.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: Now tops they give them about to try to do
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: everything all.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: At once when they get their opportunity and try to
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: try to show something and trying to do all the
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: sixty Yeah, I think it's different for different people, you know,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: like some guys it's like that and then other guys.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: It's like they can cut it a loose a bit,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: like you can relax. It's it's a it's a fine
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: balance and working through that and Jeff Howard and Case
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Scott they do a great job of getting the guys
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: ready for that. What uh sure they how.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: Different do they look?
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: For you?
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: They look get.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Holes with that, But we said, yeah they chr they've
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: changed a little bit. They've just an it changed a
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: little bit after the bye week. It looks like th
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: I feel like this team play good football, good sound football,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: and they kind of got themselves in that position last
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: week and they they got the win. You know, they're
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: like they're in it every week. You have to look
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: at this team. They play sound football, they play hard,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: and they play the right way and they they this
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: is a few things that are different, but normally they
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: still have the same identity. I think it seem like
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: mart Harrison alive. Yeah, the change they done or I
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: think they find way he's trying to get him the ball,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: he'd but he he is and he's he's catching the
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: ball too. Same with eighty five too. You had to
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: game playing against Russian ship this season. Yeah, you think
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: getting the NFL glad he's on our team. Nah, it's
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: you see the speed you saw it to then and
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: practice we'll see as we go forwards. And but I'm
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: glad he's said. W what I what is he like
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: that to try to play against like you? It's just
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: his his speed is vertical. For his ability to stop
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: and start, I think like he can take the ball
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: vertically and horizontally. When you have players like that and
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: they're good with the ball in the hands, it it
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: makes it a problem cause you can create different space
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: on the field.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: What's it gonna take to get the first bumble this year?
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: We got You're right, we have to do it. We
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: had to put a nose tackle on kickoff to get it.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: That's what we've done. We got too. We just sadly
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: fumbled one as we was running the end zone and
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: got a penalty on the other one. But no, I
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: think like those things are funny, like like constantly look
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: at different ways to teach it. You constantly look. I've
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: been on teams that have been number one in the
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: NFL forcing fumbles, being on teams that are high and
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: we're turning the ball over, we're getting in the section,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: we're not getting fumbles with high in sacks and we're
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: still not getting fumbles. I think you have to keep
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: talking it, you have to keep bringing it to life.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: You have to constantly think about it. And I think
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: people do change, you know, like I do think that
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: sometimes when you give, when you're constantly thinking about tackling
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: and getting a guy on the ground, these guys, I
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: feel like we've done a great job of like limiting
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: the yac and once the ball carrier has the ball,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: we get him on the ground. Now it's like, can
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: we see it? Can the second man and take it away?
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: And I think once those things can't like they like
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: London buses, once they come, they just keep coming. If
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: you think on teams it's cool. Like it was so funny.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: We was on Fridays, No, yes, Saturdays, we Fridays. We
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: stand like the D line they do a walk through
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: with the linebackers were stand talking about because Peely was
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: in specialty and someone said like it's gonna make a
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: huge player and it's gonna light the sideline up and
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: it did like like everyone it was electric. It was
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: something to be cool to that. Can you see the
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: confidence carry over with a wiz him or whis Connor
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: who recovering that fubble in other phases of practice. Folks,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: I think that's the biggest week. Yeah, I think confidence
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: is a funny thing. I think, yes, But I think
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: you can only truly build confidence if you constantly, consistently
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: do it. And Mike talks about it all the time.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: It's like stacking wins is something we talk about here.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: It's like, can you do it again? Can we do
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: it again? Can we do it again? And I feel
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: like the guys are buying into it. And I feel
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: that they're like at some of our really high level
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: players and guys like Corner that our rookies on special teams,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: guys like Pee League got backing up roles and then
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: getting chances to play. Everyone's trying to buy into that,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: and you just gotta keep doing it on a day
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: to day basis. What do you think the year at
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: the Marcus.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: You knew what he was in Dallas, A couple of
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: them three yet year gonna to be able to eat.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: This guy's Yeah, he's exactly what I thought would be. Like,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: that's the guy I know, and I've been around him
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: when he got hurt and he came back the next
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: year and he went to the Pro Bowl, Like, uh,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: he's he's a pro. He knows how to take care
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: of his body and he's a dog. Like that's that's it.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Uh stepping in versus Washington, what'd you see in that game?
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: And what do you want to see from him?
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: If he has to start on Sunday?
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: I thought, I was he done a great job? He
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: I think it's cool when you see players that maybe
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: have lost their role and then they get asked to
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: come back in and they execute a very high level.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: I think he led the team in tackles and got
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: TfL like that's a testament to him. And if he
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: if he plays, he'd be great. And if you ask
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: to hold the special teams role, he'd be great. And
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: that that's that's the kind of person that is.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: If you have to have someone else with the green
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: dot this week going at home with the noise, you know, just, uh,
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: what kind of preparation is necessary for for that?
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: I think they do that prep every week. But as
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: I don't know, we've the guy with the green dot
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: is the guy that has the green dot. You guys
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: have one of the highest pressure rates in the league.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Love seen at one of the love the strains. We
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: It's probably pretty obvious, but what does that do for
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: an for defense? When you're getting up without sending extra guys.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: It allows you to play coverage and then it allows
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: you when you pressure, you do worry about the guys
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: that are coming. The four guys that are coming. They like,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: you do have blocking schemes and you do have protection plans,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: but there's certain players that line up in front of
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: the players that are trying to block them, and it
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: makes them think, how do they set how do they
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: how do they play the scheme but still do their
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: job blocking this guy? And I think it's a it's
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: a fine line off when do you blitz and when
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: do you when do you bring f And Mike's been
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: doing a good job of doing it. They just keep coming.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: It like it whoever's blitzing. If there's four rushers that
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: play on the D line, or if there's three guys
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: off the ball, we should blitz. We should rush the
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: same way.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: When Tyres has played before, it's kind of been will
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: and and Arnests have been in the middle. How much
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: of a difference is it when he's playing in the middle.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: Versus he's been getting it. You do get different looks
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: and the game is a little bit different, especially playing
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: the behind the guys that we have. It's really he's
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: been working those positions while he's been like, he's kind
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: of covers both positions, so he's been working them and
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: he's been getting used to it since training camp. Thanks
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: guys Thinks
