• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Let's move started off.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: How impressive was what the two tackles are able to
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: get done last week in that environment. For two guys
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: to step into what they.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Did, yeah, I definitely think that. Uh, you know, when
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: the outside looking in sees it aac you know, two
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: you know, backup swing tackles come in and you know,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: play a great game. But you know, from the inside
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: looking out, you know, we we know what those guys
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: can do. They've had you know, countless game reps before
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: and have done it, you know, at a high level.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: So you know, it wasn't shocking to us.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: But what's the key to stepping in when you're called
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: upon like okay, take over kind of go.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I think it's, you know, trust in your ability,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: trust in your technique. You've done it in practice, you've
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: done it in training camp, you've done it in preseason.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: Just another opportunity to go out and prove what you
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: can do. So I think that's really the biggest thing
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: is you know, don't let the moment get too big
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: for you. How much changed or if anything changed with
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: those two guys in the game is.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: Part of the game plan.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: I think there was, you know a little bit with
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: you know, getting them you know, settled in early, you know,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: as an offensive lineman, and you don't you don't like
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: the first play of the game to be a five step,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: five second ball holder throw. So I think there's some
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: some with that, but I think for the most part,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: it's you know, still running, you know, our stuff. We
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: expect you know, guys to be able to step in
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: and execute the game plan at a high level, no
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: matter who it is.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Well, was it like being on the other side and
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: kind of having to deal with the noise after having played.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: There and all that, Yeah, you know, definitely being on
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: the offensive side. You know, in Detroit as home, you know,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: you never notice the noise because you're really not out
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: there for it and you're on the sidelines, you know,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: talking about what happens that you really you hear it
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: sometimes and not really. But I'll give give the fans
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: in Detroit a a hell of a lot of credit.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, that was a loud stadium and they did
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: they did a fantastic job being loud. And I think,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: you know, we handled that adversity well with our communication
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: as best as we could. You know, there's definitely some
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: things we need to clean up with with pre snap
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: stuff and making sure everybody's on the right page. But
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: I mean, you're gonna have that in never game, so
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: you know, you look at the good, you look at
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: the bad, fix the bad, and move on to the
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: next game.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: What's Geno like on Carolina? Let's say, what's Gina like
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: in the huddle for that time where you're going out there?
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean he was the same first drive as
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: last drive. You know, it's it's cool, calm, collected, it's
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: you know, get in there, make the call for you
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: know what our play call is, and then execute the play.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: You know, it doesn't doesn't change because it's over time.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: You know, you're not pressing anymore. You're just out there
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: to execute whatever play is called and onto the next player.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: When you look at Carolina, what they do with the
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: pass rushing and Frankie ugu the tackles for loss.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Why is he able to do that? I think he's
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: a one very instinctive player, but also very physical, very downhill,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: and he's got some savvy ability to defeat a block.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: I think he's a you know, very good off the
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: ball backer who's also got a clear pass rush ability.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: So I think he's definitely a very dynamic player they have.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: With the running game. He talked about consistency being the key,
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: and he does some good things at struggle times. What
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: do you want to see with just getting that of work.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's you know, always starting with a
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: run game. You can never have a negative play. You
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: know they're gonna happen, of course, but you never want
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: to be behind the chains. So I think it's all
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: about stand on track. You know, you always talk, you know,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: efficiency in the run game. You know you want those
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: you want to you want a four yard game at
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: at the minimum. You know, obviously you're not gonna get that.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Sometimes it's three to two and sometimes you bust one.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: But I think it's just all about being consistent in
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: the run game, knowing that the big runs will come
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: and they'll hit whenever they do. But you know, you can't,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: can't give up the negative. You can't you know, leave
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: a background blocking the hole stuff like that.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: Your defense, your defense is one of the best of
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: the league in zero yard runs. How demoralizing, I mean,
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: you know what that run game feels like it's going.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: How demoralizing?
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: Is that?
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Maybe most stuffing? You know it definitely it definitely takes
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: the air out of alignments, you know, feeling a little
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: bit when you keep getting you know zero one yard
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: runs and stuff. Uh, you know, and then it tends
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: to lead to, you know, more throwing the ball. So
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: it it's it's got its gives and takes. So but yeah,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: you definitely, you know, either side of wherever you're at,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: you know you don't want to you want to take
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: those away, you don't want to have those So it's
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: always that constant battle. I think I think you came
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: out for like six plays at one point.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: Think was that an equipment thing or was.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: That a getting rolled up a little bit? But taped
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: her up good to go.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: So you when you when you guys watch the tape,
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: what did you think a little bit?
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: I think the you know, the couple reps he got
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: in there, you know, he he came in, you know,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: made his calls points, did a fantastic job. So you
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: know that's what you know, rolling guys in and out
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: all the time with you know, tackles, being hurt, whatever
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: it is. So you know, it's the same next man
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: up mentality. Thought he did a great job.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: What have you noticed about Jason Peters in the week
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: he's been here.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think he's, Uh, he's definitely taken on kind
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: of like a leadership role for those tackles. And you know,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of a lot of young tackles we
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: have on this team, and just you know, he's given
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: his knowledge on on you know, every play, every set
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: that he can, you know, in the film room's speaking
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: up for those guys. I mean he's played I'd go
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: out and say probably more ball than everybody in that
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: room of us combined, more snaps. So I mean he's
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: got you know, infinite knowledge that he can you know,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: help those guys with with the island that those tackles
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: live on. So I think he's been been great with
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: what he's done. Is he like the offensive lines?
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: Dad?
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Now, let's again the lines dad?
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Now?
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you could you could call that? Yeah? Yeah,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: it takes that kind of kind of role mentality. You know,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: he's almost double the age of you know, a rookie
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: these days. So anybody else all right, appreciate y'all. Thank you,
