  Speaker 1: Philip Rivers.
• 0:01
  Speaker 2: When you've watched him since he's come back, what have
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: you seen? Did you see any progress from I guess
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: that first start return to the second one?
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I thought he looked good in both games.
• 0:12
  Speaker 3: Just obviously super super sharp guy, you know, one of
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: the best of all time, obviously, and he's really got
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: command of everything out there. So it's it's a tough
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: guy to prepare for and to play against because it's
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: like you're playing against the coach out there too. You know,
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: a guy that knows football as good as anybody and
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: can get the ball out really really quickly and knows
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: where he wants to go with the ball immediately. So
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: it's a real challenge and I think he's done a
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: hell of a job so far.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: Do you go back to when he was in the
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: league previously, I mean, even though that was a few
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: years back, or do you just stick to these two.
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: Watched a little bit of it, Yeah, but you know,
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: I think primarily what's going on right now with what
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: they're doing and obviously with how he's playing, and they're
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: their current team, so that's that's the best that's the
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: best vantage point to look at it from.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: I think he did.
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: Coach, Hey, coach, obviously it's not over yet. You guys
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: have made the playoffs. If you could reflect a little bit,
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: what are some of the things that have made your
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: group of defenders so special this year?
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: I just think we have a lot of selfless people
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: in here in this organization and really on our unit,
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: and I think what Coach Cohen did here just in
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: this whole process, the thing that stands out to me
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: the most is we practiced very physical to get to
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: this point. We practiced as physical as as you can
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: in the summer, and I think that really helped create
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: the culture of of you know, what we're trying to
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: do here. And it's a credit to the players and
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: really a credit to him, because his vision of what
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: he wanted this team to be I think had a
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: huge impact on it. Any of the success that we had,
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: and if I could attribute it to anything else, I
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: would attribute attribute it to the selflessness of the players,
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: you know, and the toughness state practiced with.
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: Can you see that sort of with guys going down,
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: guys coming in on the fly? Is that sort of
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: what you're talking about with the with the selflessness?
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think just like when I talk about even
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: in the past rush it's a team rush mentality, or
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: it's you know, it's a do your job culture. You know,
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: if you do your job, it's going to help the
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: whole it's going to help the entire unit.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: And I think guys have been really really selfless.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: Uh in terms of doing that, doing what we've been
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: asking them to do. And obviously you're always working on that,
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: you're trying to improve it. But everything we've been asking
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: our guys to do, we've been getting that from them
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: because I think the bottom line is they all have
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: one thing in common. They want to win, you know,
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: they want to win together because they care about each other.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: So that's been the coolest thing to watch, you know,
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: not knowing them and then you know, when I got here,
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: obviously them not knowing me and them not necessarily maybe
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: not of them knowing each other, and watching that kind
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: of grow.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Which had been really really cool. Appreciate it, Appreciate you.
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: We'll go d Rug, followed by Mark long.
• 3:11
  Speaker 6: Heany coach was the staff altogether last night watching that
• 3:14
  Speaker 6: Monday night game.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: Everybody was kind of working on the next game, but
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: had the TV's going in their office, so you know,
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: working on prior games from them, and then everybody had
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: the TV up with with the current game rolling last night,
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: so I think everybody's kind of on the same plan.
• 3:31
  Speaker 7: So what was the reaction like when it became I
• 3:35
  Speaker 7: guess saw that pick six by the linebacker that it
• 3:37
  Speaker 7: looked like that game was over and you guys are
• 3:40
  Speaker 7: going to the playoffs? Can you kind of describe what happened?
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for me, it was just keep working. You know,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: that was great.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: I'm glad that happened. But honestly, they were so focused
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: on this current game. And you know, maybe that's a
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: bad answer, but it's an honest answer.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: It didn't. It didn't affect what I was doing at
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: the time.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: And I can't speak for all the other coaches, but
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: I can I can assume it was a very very
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: similar experience for them too, because we've been trying to
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: grind it and get this thing right and get ready
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: prepared for this next game. So definitely fired up about
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: the opportunity to go ahead and continue playing.
• 4:17
  Speaker 7: But you couldn't hear anybody yelling, cheering nothing.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, there was definitely that. There's you know, you
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: got that all the time. Man, There's probably just me
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: yelling most of the time for no reason. But but
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: but yeah, that's.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: That's all hat around here, that's what it usually is.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: But now, guys were fired up for sure, and you know,
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: I think everybody was excited, like I said, for the
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: opportunity to continue playing, and everybody was for sure still
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: working grinding on this next one.
• 4:43
  Speaker 7: You guys did a really good job again. Jonathan Taylor
• 4:46
  Speaker 7: here in Jacksonville. Is he a different back in Indianapolis
• 4:51
  Speaker 7: on the turf there? And how tough of a guy
• 4:54
  Speaker 7: is he going to be to corral this time up there?
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think anytime you're playing against him, everybody better
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: be doing their job. Everybody better have great gap integrity.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: This isn't a guy you freelance with and you know
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: you delve into your autistic interpretation of what everybody should
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: be doing. This is everybody do your job, you know,
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: and do your job to the best of your physical ability,
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: because he can make you look bad in a hurry.
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: I think he's he's done a tremendous job obviously the
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: whole yearybody knows that about him. But it takes, you know,
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: all it takes is one guy not executing for him
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: to make you pay and you watch him to your point,
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: you watch him in their stadium.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean if he gets out, he can he
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: can fly.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: So he is he is as much of a challenge
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: in the run game as anybody will play the entire year.
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: Thank you, thank you, hey, coach.
• 5:50
  Speaker 8: How well is Jarian Jones playing for you on the
• 5:52
  Speaker 8: back end there?
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: He's really done a great job for us, you know.
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: And the thing with Jarian is somewhat like Antonio Johnson
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: I was talking about last week, Jarian wears a lot
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: a lot of hats, hats for us on the back end.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: So there's even positions he's prepared for that he hasn't
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: played in games.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: We've been able to move him around and he's.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: Really got a good understanding of so many positions in
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: the back end, you know, whether that's corner, dime, nickel,
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: even safety in some certain situation. So he's really kind
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: of a glue guy because he's got position flex and
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: it's it's so genuinely important to him, you know, just
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: knowing him and being around him every day.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: It's so important to him and he wants to be
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: a great player.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: I think he's done everything that he possibly can to
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: progress and become a better player and become a really
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: good player for us. And we've been leaning on him
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: and he's done that. He's played great football for us.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: And I love coaching the guy, honestly, Like he's a
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: hard guy not to love it if you're around him
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: every day. He got great energy and he's another guy.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: Was just talking about people that I just want to win.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: He just wants to win, you know, he wants to win.
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: And Uh, whatever it takes, however physical it's got to be,
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: or whatever you're asking him to do, he's willing to
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: do it.
• 7:11
  Speaker 8: When you're cutting up clips, did you cut up him
• 7:14
  Speaker 8: jumping a running back on the sideline?
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: I actually was going over that with him the other day.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: I taught him how to do that. I did it
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: backwards though I kind of like flipped when.
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: I did him.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no, but that was pretty impressive.
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: I saw that on the TV copy and I was like, Wow.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: That was that was pretty impressive.
• 7:33
  Speaker 8: It doesn't you don't flash that to the team. I mean,
• 7:35
  Speaker 8: he famously.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Wed we may have to show that.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: We may have to show that, as long as it
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: don't show me attempt or something like that.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: It'd be uh, it's all good, you bet.
• 7:47
  Speaker 9: John Shipley and then Justin, Hey, coach, thanks for doing
• 7:51
  Speaker 9: this with how many guys have stepped in and played,
• 7:55
  Speaker 9: you know, big roles in the secondary of this year.
• 7:57
  Speaker 9: What is that kind of said about the way that
• 7:59
  Speaker 9: coach Myley some coach Perkins, I've just kind of gone
• 8:02
  Speaker 9: to work with that unit since you guys have gotten here.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: The one thing I'm gonna say about this staff and
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: those guys, especially Ron and Anthony's, they've been grinding since
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: we got here. It wasn't an easy offseason for our
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: coaches either, you know, they were.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: They were working every day and.
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: We're working long hours to try and get it right
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: and hit the ground running.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: And they've done that every day since.
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: They've prepared a bunch of different guys for different positions,
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: you know, which, They're always trying to do extra with
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: the guys, whatever it may be, even in the post
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: practice or you've probably seen in the pre practice, whatever
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: they can do to.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: Help these guys out.
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: And I think they do a great job with all
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: the guys, you know, and getting some of the younger
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: guys ready.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Especially thanks coach Justin. I think you muted. I couldn't. Yeah,
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: I can hear. We'll move on to mea for now.
• 9:12
  Speaker 10: What's up camp? In a hot minute?
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: Uh?
• 9:14
  Speaker 11: In the good? How are you at Mary Cooly Christmas?
• 9:18
  Speaker 11: In the same vein of Mark's question, I kind of
• 9:20
  Speaker 11: want to build on that. Who would you argue? And
• 9:23
  Speaker 11: I don't know if you can pick one. I don't
• 9:24
  Speaker 11: know if you want to upset anybody, But who would
• 9:26
  Speaker 11: you say in terms of just sheer juice? You mentioned
• 9:29
  Speaker 11: about you yelling and that's old hat around here, Like
• 9:32
  Speaker 11: who who epitomizes that?
• 9:34
  Speaker 10: On the defensive side.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Of the ball?
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: Man, we got a lot of guys like that. I
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: think we got so many guys with great energy. Are
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: you talking about players or coaches?
• 9:43
  Speaker 12: Yeah?
• 9:44
  Speaker 11: Just since you were brought you brought up Jarian and
• 9:46
  Speaker 11: I don't know if there's anybody else.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: There's so many guys like that, man, I mean, you know,
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: Foyer is such a a great guy, and you know
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: he's such a professional. But you hear him before the games,
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: you know, talk the team, and you know it means
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: something when when he speaks to the guys and he
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: speaks from his heart and you can feel that, you know,
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: you usually have a great feel for people's energy and
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: there's a lot of good energy in that locker room.
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of people who bring great energy to
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: our team. There's so many guys, you know. I think
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: Jordan Lewis what he's done coming in here, Eric Murray,
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: who are two new guys, and I think they've helped
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: establish the culture that they want in the defensive back room.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: And so many of those other guys are uh, you know,
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: they're just the same way. You know, like I think
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: a buster, they all care so much. I think the
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: number one thing that that just jumps out to me
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: is how much these guys really love each other and
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: love playing together.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: It's a cool thing.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: It's a little bit like a high school locker room,
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: a high school environment, and having coached in high school
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: for a long time, like I see that in these guys,
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: you know, And I think football, when it's at its best,
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: it is that way, and then you have something, you
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: have something special when that's the case. You know, if
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: people don't want to let each other down, and the
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: more you care about each other, the less that's going
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: to happen.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: I think when somebody makes a mistake that they're genuinely
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: upset about it because they want to do right for.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: The guys around them.
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: And I think that energy in that culture is evident
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: in a lot of the guys love it awesome.
• 11:20
  Speaker 11: As for the on field stuff, a lot I think
• 11:24
  Speaker 11: has been made about moving Trayveon inside on third downs,
• 11:28
  Speaker 11: not just this season, but for the four years or
• 11:31
  Speaker 11: however many years it's been that he's been here. Why
• 11:34
  Speaker 11: was this game in particular against the Broncos one in
• 11:36
  Speaker 11: which you said, hey, we need to maximize this matchup.
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: You know, one of the things if you guys, you know,
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: if you go back and you're looking at just Stephen,
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: I would say since the buye. But Trey's been in
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: there inside a little bit. That was something we had
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: done in other places I've been. But you're just trying
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: to get the best matchups possible and if there are
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: some things in the protection that you feel like you
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: can take advantage of, or a matchup you can take
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: advantage of, that's very game plan specific.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: But I said, I think I said this last week
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: or the week prior to that.
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: Trey bon is really a special guy because he can
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: play from a three technique all the way out to
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: a nine technique, like we do stuff with them where
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: we drop him and he can cover from an athleticism
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: standpoint like a linebacker.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: So he's got a really special skill set.
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: You know, there's not a lot of people are who
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: are capable of doing what he's capable of doing, of
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: having done, And he's really done a good job for
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: us playing inside when he plays out on the guard,
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: and he plays on as a three technique and then
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: as a four I and early down he does a
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: bunch of that. So it's really his ability that gives
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: us the opportunity to do that, and hopefully we're looking to,
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: you know, put him in the best possible situation when
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: it comes to those past rush situations.
• 12:52
  Speaker 10: And then just one more for me.
• 12:53
  Speaker 11: A lot was made on this past broadcast in particular,
• 12:55
  Speaker 11: and I know it's been a bunch of them about
• 12:57
  Speaker 11: you teaching the guys to punch the all out versus tackling.
• 13:02
  Speaker 11: How would you evaluate the tackling on Sunday comparatively to
• 13:06
  Speaker 11: like the one player in particularly in particular they talked
• 13:08
  Speaker 11: about with Jari and near the goal line, like you
• 13:10
  Speaker 11: tried to punch it out instead of tackle. Is that
• 13:12
  Speaker 11: something you guys have had conversations as an entire defensive
• 13:14
  Speaker 11: unit about sense.
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you're always securing, you know, before you do that.
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: That's the most important thing, is secure in the tackle.
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: And I think, I think as a whole, I don't
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: think we had one of our best tackling games, you know,
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: and that is evident. And we give up a big
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: run the other day, and big runs usually come, you know,
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: obviously oftentimes they come from poor contact, you know, or
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: poor tackle entry, and I think on that run we
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: had some poor tackle entry. We had one little we
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: essentially had a misfit on something, and then we really
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: didn't get the guy on the ground obviously, as you
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: can see, you know, state and the obvious. But I
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: do think to your point, when you're talking about striking
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: the football, there is a way, time and place to
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: do that, and I think there are sometimes in the
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: games that watched it where we can enter into tackles
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: better and we may have given up position to do
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: that striking the ball a couple times, but we're always
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: going to go after the ball. We're not gonna apologize
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: for for attacking the football.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: That's something we're always going to do around here.
• 14:13
  Speaker 10: Awesome, Thanks camp Mary, Christmas.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: Merry Christmas.
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: We'll end with Justin and d Rock.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: I am I good. Oh yeah, I can hear it.
• 14:23
  Speaker 12: Okay, sorry about that. So blocking out noise is probably
• 14:30
  Speaker 12: a little bit easier when the noise is about everybody
• 14:32
  Speaker 12: and you guys as a team. But how do you
• 14:34
  Speaker 12: kind of handle that when your name is starting to
• 14:36
  Speaker 12: pop up more for coaching interviews and things of that
• 14:39
  Speaker 12: such that might come after the season.
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, honestly, I don't pay attention to any of it.
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: I I want to win, you know. I care about
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: my family and this team, you know, and obviously your
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: relationship with God.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: Those are the three things you better be focused on.
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: And all the other stuff is uh, I don't care
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: about it, to be honest with you, I don't want
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: to win this game.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: And to me, I wake up with my feet at
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: the ground every day.
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: That's the number one thing I'm concerned about is obviously
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: taking care of my family and helping our team win.
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: So we got so many guys in here who are
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: about the same stuff and go about their day the
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: same way. That's the way we want to go about
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: our work. So that's all I'm really focused on.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Thanks coach, Thank you guys, appreciate you.
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: Marry Christmas, big grant, just both days and all that.
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: When you first got here getting with Trevor, what are
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: some of the intangibles that you saw from him that
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: made you think, Okay, he is going to be able
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: to take on this type of an offense. I understand it.
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: It's very complicated just in terms of what he was
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: able to show you guys that you knew that he
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: was going to be capable of this well.
• 15:54
  Speaker 13: First, it probably started with his passion for the game
• 15:57
  Speaker 13: and his care factor for not only learning the system,
• 16:01
  Speaker 13: performing at a high level, trying to operate the system
• 16:04
  Speaker 13: out there, but his care for the teammates, your organization,
• 16:07
  Speaker 13: and really the betterment of everyone else around him. So
• 16:10
  Speaker 13: when you start with that foundation, you have a lot
• 16:12
  Speaker 13: to work with from there, because you know those type
• 16:14
  Speaker 13: of guys, guys like Trevor are willing to put in
• 16:16
  Speaker 13: the work.
• 16:16
  Speaker 5: They're willing to.
• 16:17
  Speaker 13: Spend the extra time, go the extra mile, do all
• 16:19
  Speaker 13: those things that can separate guys from good to great
• 16:23
  Speaker 13: in terms of knowing what to do, being able to
• 16:25
  Speaker 13: play fast, being able to do all the things we
• 16:27
  Speaker 13: ask of the quarterback position, So.
• 16:28
  Speaker 5: That's one of the things.
• 16:29
  Speaker 13: Then you add on top of that the intelligence, the
• 16:32
  Speaker 13: toughness which you'd see out there on Sundays more so
• 16:34
  Speaker 13: than all the work behind the scenes, but a lot
• 16:36
  Speaker 13: of that goes into the way you practice being willing
• 16:38
  Speaker 13: to go out there when your body's probably not feeling great,
• 16:40
  Speaker 13: you're sore, you know it's coming off of injury this offseason,
• 16:44
  Speaker 13: and that physical toughness, not just the mental toughness, is
• 16:47
  Speaker 13: a big part of your training, not just your actual
• 16:49
  Speaker 13: playing on Sunday. So you have all those different intangibles.
• 16:54
  Speaker 13: Those things come together with probably a laundry list of
• 16:57
  Speaker 13: others that really made this offseason in work, you know,
• 17:02
  Speaker 13: really stand out and create an optimistic attitude I guess
• 17:05
  Speaker 13: really going into the season.
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: And then just you know, at what point maybe I mean,
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: maybe there's not a point, but did you notice that
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: Trevor is finally getting everything down in terms of the footwork,
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: all the things that you guys worked on, and how
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: how challenging is that to have to work on that
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: like during the season.
• 17:26
  Speaker 13: I don't know that there was specifically one point that
• 17:29
  Speaker 13: you notice you crossed the line and said okay, now,
• 17:33
  Speaker 13: he's got it. It's something that is going to take
• 17:36
  Speaker 13: so many reps, and when you're in it, and when
• 17:39
  Speaker 13: you're looking at it day after day after day, you
• 17:41
  Speaker 13: don't always notice the strides that you've made over the
• 17:44
  Speaker 13: course of a month or over the course of the
• 17:46
  Speaker 13: entire year. So it's harder for us because we're so
• 17:49
  Speaker 13: granular trying to look at the improvement from last rep
• 17:52
  Speaker 13: to this rep or yesterday to today, and you know
• 17:56
  Speaker 13: that over the course of the year, it's not going
• 17:59
  Speaker 13: to be a straight line and it's not going to
• 18:00
  Speaker 13: be perfect progress the whole way. But I think even
• 18:04
  Speaker 13: when things were not the outcomes were not what we
• 18:06
  Speaker 13: wanted earlier in the offseason or even in training camp,
• 18:09
  Speaker 13: I always felt, I think he always felt, and the
• 18:11
  Speaker 13: coaching staff always felt that the trend line was always
• 18:14
  Speaker 13: going in the right direction. So there was never any
• 18:17
  Speaker 13: let up from him, never any letup from us in
• 18:19
  Speaker 13: terms of that process and trusting that continuing to stick
• 18:23
  Speaker 13: with that process and put in the work will yield
• 18:25
  Speaker 13: positive outcomes, which I think he believes it has, We
• 18:28
  Speaker 13: believe it has, and we hope that it'll continue to
• 18:31
  Speaker 13: go in that direction as long as we continue to
• 18:32
  Speaker 13: work that way, and then the second part of your
• 18:35
  Speaker 13: question was kind of sorry, could you repeat that second part.
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: Just in terms of how challenging it is for quarterback
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: to have to go through footwork, change all all that
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: kind of stuff during the season.
• 18:44
  Speaker 13: Yeah, in season, even out of season is incredibly challenging
• 18:47
  Speaker 13: because he was coming back from injury, so he's limited
• 18:50
  Speaker 13: reps actually throwing the football. So you only have so
• 18:53
  Speaker 13: many reps throwing the football, so you're trying to emulate
• 18:57
  Speaker 13: the throwing motion and practicing and going full speed when
• 19:00
  Speaker 13: you're just taking drops on air, and you're trying to
• 19:02
  Speaker 13: have creative ways of practicing that in the offseason. Then
• 19:05
  Speaker 13: you get in season and you're so time constrained because
• 19:07
  Speaker 13: you're preparing for a game plan, preparing for an opponent,
• 19:10
  Speaker 13: and trying to study. You got all these different things
• 19:11
  Speaker 13: to manage, and you have limited practice time.
• 19:14
  Speaker 5: Your receivers start to get sore.
• 19:16
  Speaker 13: You need to kind of reduce the player load in
• 19:17
  Speaker 13: terms how much running they can do, so you're not
• 19:19
  Speaker 13: throwing as many routes. You don't have full speed receivers
• 19:22
  Speaker 13: to get out there and work with, so it takes
• 19:25
  Speaker 13: additional effort kind of on his own, on our own
• 19:27
  Speaker 13: to make sure that we continue to refine those things
• 19:30
  Speaker 13: in order to improve, because with the time constraints and
• 19:33
  Speaker 13: really just a scarcity of reps, it does become an
• 19:36
  Speaker 13: immense challenge to continue to improve those things, let alone
• 19:39
  Speaker 13: to keep them the status quo.
• 19:41
  Speaker 9: Appreciate it, Hey Grant, thanks for doing this.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: Well.
• 19:47
  Speaker 9: Why Admilom, you know, kind of stepping into that six
• 19:50
  Speaker 9: offensive lineman role when you guys go with the bigger packages.
• 19:53
  Speaker 9: Just what if you liked from him in that role
• 19:55
  Speaker 9: and just how have you kind of seen him grow,
• 19:56
  Speaker 9: especially you know, considering he had to fight through an
• 19:59
  Speaker 9: injury at the start and kind of maybe got behind
• 20:01
  Speaker 9: the eight ball a little bit.
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a great question.
• 20:04
  Speaker 13: Why it's one of those guys who's probably been a
• 20:06
  Speaker 13: little bit under the radar but has been working his
• 20:08
  Speaker 13: tailoff in the background, not only to get ready to
• 20:11
  Speaker 13: play tight end, but to play guard, play tackle, wherever
• 20:14
  Speaker 13: we need him. He's embraced whatever role you've thrown him into,
• 20:18
  Speaker 13: and he's battled some of those injuries. But even amidst
• 20:21
  Speaker 13: those injuries, he's still studying and preparing at one hundred
• 20:25
  Speaker 13: percent like he's going into play. So the mental aspect
• 20:29
  Speaker 13: of being a rookie, not getting a lot of reps
• 20:32
  Speaker 13: and trying to juggle multiple positions is really impressive for
• 20:36
  Speaker 13: him to continue to work through that stuff.
• 20:38
  Speaker 5: Then on the field, I think you.
• 20:39
  Speaker 13: See the aggressiveness, the physicality, and like the play style
• 20:43
  Speaker 13: that he plays with. He attacks every single play, every
• 20:46
  Speaker 13: single rep, and he practices the same way.
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: So to get a guy with those kind.
• 20:50
  Speaker 13: Of combination of factors and the way he approaches practice,
• 20:54
  Speaker 13: game preparation and then his play.
• 20:57
  Speaker 5: Style makes him a special individual. Thanks great, Thanks Jan.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: God Rack, followed by Mark.
• 21:05
  Speaker 10: Loan for grant.
• 21:08
  Speaker 7: Where were you when the pick six happened last night
• 21:12
  Speaker 7: and you guys essentially made the playoffs at that moment?
• 21:15
  Speaker 7: What was the reaction like for you?
• 21:18
  Speaker 5: I was in my office, and I think.
• 21:25
  Speaker 13: The reaction is probably just to keep working on some
• 21:28
  Speaker 13: of the run game and some of the play passes.
• 21:32
  Speaker 13: You know, we have a lot of work to do
• 21:34
  Speaker 13: and we got our hands full this week, so there's
• 21:36
  Speaker 13: not a lot of time for celebration right now. But
• 21:39
  Speaker 13: when the time's appropriate, I'm sure we'll sure we'll celebrate,
• 21:42
  Speaker 13: but right now we're just focused on preparation, so not
• 21:44
  Speaker 13: a lot of celebration going on, but definitely a lot
• 21:47
  Speaker 13: of work to do.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: You guys are boring, good Lord.
• 21:50
  Speaker 5: I wish I had something. I wish I had something
• 21:53
  Speaker 5: good for you. But that's the truth. That's the truth.
• 21:56
  Speaker 6: Hey, how important maybe import it's not the right word,
• 22:00
  Speaker 6: but critical in something that maybe a lot of people
• 22:04
  Speaker 6: overlook is ball placement from a quarterback, especially back shoulder,
• 22:08
  Speaker 6: front shoulder.
• 22:09
  Speaker 7: Where the defender is. And how much has Trevor improve
• 22:12
  Speaker 7: with that?
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a great question.
• 22:16
  Speaker 13: Nick Mullens talks about how run after catch, I have
• 22:21
  Speaker 13: to give him credit that he talks about run after
• 22:23
  Speaker 13: catch is an accuracy stat from a quarterback perspective, that is,
• 22:27
  Speaker 13: and there's absolutely some validity to that. Where you see
• 22:31
  Speaker 13: Parker Washington had two huge run after catches in the
• 22:34
  Speaker 13: previous game and a lot.
• 22:35
  Speaker 5: Of that is due to his accuracy.
• 22:38
  Speaker 13: So not only that that placement on short routes, intermediate routes,
• 22:44
  Speaker 13: but even some of those deeper routes.
• 22:45
  Speaker 5: If you can hit a guy.
• 22:46
  Speaker 13: In shride and they don't have to lose their speed,
• 22:49
  Speaker 13: that's the difference between one step a dB catching up
• 22:52
  Speaker 13: and closing the space or a guy being able to
• 22:54
  Speaker 13: turn up and make a move on a defensive back
• 22:57
  Speaker 13: of linebacker safetyhoever it may be in that space, or
• 22:59
  Speaker 13: the guy having to slow down, collect himself or reach
• 23:02
  Speaker 13: back for the ball and lose.
• 23:02
  Speaker 5: All of his momentum.
• 23:04
  Speaker 13: I think as Trevor has gotten used to it and
• 23:07
  Speaker 13: continue to create that chemistry with the wide outs, the
• 23:09
  Speaker 13: tight ends, the backs coming out of the backfield, I
• 23:12
  Speaker 13: think that that's where you see a lot of the
• 23:14
  Speaker 13: accuracy improved because we have such a heavy reliance on
• 23:17
  Speaker 13: timing rhythm, guys being at the right spot at the
• 23:20
  Speaker 13: right time, getting to these certain spots, being able to
• 23:22
  Speaker 13: see the coverages and being able to see how defenses
• 23:24
  Speaker 13: are playing you, and getting to those spots when Trevor's
• 23:27
  Speaker 13: on the same page with his eligibles, that's when you
• 23:30
  Speaker 13: see an elite level of accuracy really come to fruition.
• 23:33
  Speaker 13: I don't think it's ever really been a question of
• 23:35
  Speaker 13: the physical ability.
• 23:37
  Speaker 5: It's more so been a question of our.
• 23:39
  Speaker 13: Execution as an offense, which we've tried to improve, and
• 23:42
  Speaker 13: I think you've seen it improved. There's still room to grow,
• 23:44
  Speaker 13: without a doubt, but that kind of manifests into what
• 23:47
  Speaker 13: appears to be improved accuracy on TV.
• 23:50
  Speaker 5: A lot of times.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: Thanks boy, appreciate it.
• 23:53
  Speaker 5: Thank you, Hey Grant.
• 23:56
  Speaker 8: How nuanced is the quick snap and was that more
• 24:02
  Speaker 8: to keep Denver's defensive front from getting set or was
• 24:05
  Speaker 8: it to combat maybe some of the issues that come
• 24:09
  Speaker 8: with crowd noise.
• 24:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's another great, great question.
• 24:15
  Speaker 13: There's a lot of advantages to that quick snap, and
• 24:17
  Speaker 13: we try to mix up those tempos as much as
• 24:19
  Speaker 13: we can. We want the entirety of our time of
• 24:23
  Speaker 13: possession to be in attack mode. Now that doesn't necessarily
• 24:27
  Speaker 13: mean that we're going to be using tempo and going
• 24:29
  Speaker 13: fast every single play, but even when we're coming out
• 24:32
  Speaker 13: of the huddle, we want to mix up the way
• 24:33
  Speaker 13: we're coming out of the huddle.
• 24:34
  Speaker 5: We want to motion. Sometimes sometimes we're not motion. Sometimes
• 24:36
  Speaker 5: we're snapping it quick, sometimes we're hard counting.
• 24:39
  Speaker 13: If we have the ball for thirty one minutes of
• 24:41
  Speaker 13: a football game, we want the defense to be stressed out,
• 24:45
  Speaker 13: under attack, straining for all thirty one minutes. It might
• 24:47
  Speaker 13: not all be physically, but sometimes it is mentally. So
• 24:50
  Speaker 13: we're trying to use some of those quick snaps, like
• 24:52
  Speaker 13: you said, prevent the rush from getting set, prevent the
• 24:54
  Speaker 13: coverage from getting set, prevent them from making communication, maybe
• 24:57
  Speaker 13: prevent them from recognizing the formation win, depending on the
• 25:00
  Speaker 13: play in the situation, there's a whole bunch of different
• 25:02
  Speaker 13: reasons we'll use it. Sometimes it's to dictate certain matchups
• 25:06
  Speaker 13: because they can't identify matchups in that case. There are
• 25:10
  Speaker 13: certain plays where certainly you play a rush like Denver,
• 25:13
  Speaker 13: you want to try to slow them down as many
• 25:15
  Speaker 13: ways as possible, and then you have cover guys like
• 25:17
  Speaker 13: they had too. So there are certain plays where we're
• 25:19
  Speaker 13: trying to create matchups. So depending on the play, we
• 25:21
  Speaker 13: were mixing it up here and there, and we have
• 25:23
  Speaker 13: a bunch of different tempos that will use out of
• 25:25
  Speaker 13: the huddle that will try to keep defenses kind of
• 25:27
  Speaker 13: offset off balance. And I thought the guys did a
• 25:30
  Speaker 13: great job executing. You mentioned the nuance to it. There
• 25:32
  Speaker 13: really is a little bit of nuance where the guys
• 25:34
  Speaker 13: have to understand the difference between tempo A and tempo
• 25:38
  Speaker 13: B out of the huddle and when the ball is
• 25:39
  Speaker 13: getting snapped and what am I doing with my feed
• 25:41
  Speaker 13: and where am I actually getting lined up? Where can
• 25:43
  Speaker 13: I realistically get to to be lined up before this
• 25:45
  Speaker 13: ball snap, Because there's no Cadence on some of those
• 25:48
  Speaker 13: they got to trust and Hainsey when he snapping the
• 25:51
  Speaker 13: ball or Jonah when he snapping the ball, has to
• 25:53
  Speaker 13: trust that that guy's at the right spot at the
• 25:56
  Speaker 13: right time, and I got the green light to go
• 25:57
  Speaker 13: out and snap the ball.
• 25:58
  Speaker 5: So it's great.
• 26:00
  Speaker 13: I'm assuring great work for all eleven to really be
• 26:01
  Speaker 13: on the same page. It's something we try to work
• 26:03
  Speaker 13: on and practice and preach kind of the details and
• 26:06
  Speaker 13: discipline with those fundamentals when we.
• 26:08
  Speaker 5: Do those things. Thank you. We'll end with Justin and Mia.
• 26:17
  Speaker 7: Grant.
• 26:19
  Speaker 12: Blocking out the noise is probably a little bit easier
• 26:21
  Speaker 12: when it's all about the team, all surrounding the team,
• 26:24
  Speaker 12: but when it's your name that's being brought up for
• 26:27
  Speaker 12: potential head coaching interviews after the season, how do you
• 26:30
  Speaker 12: how do you kind of tackle blocking out that noise?
• 26:34
  Speaker 13: Well, thankfully, it's relatively easy in the sense that we
• 26:38
  Speaker 13: have a great challenge on Sunday and you hopefully can
• 26:40
  Speaker 13: continue to have that every single week. So it's the
• 26:43
  Speaker 13: boring answer that I gave d Rock on the on
• 26:46
  Speaker 13: how you celebrate the you know, pick six or making
• 26:50
  Speaker 13: the playoffs and those things. You got so much work
• 26:52
  Speaker 13: dough that you really don't have time to look up
• 26:54
  Speaker 13: and see anything else. So and that's the way I
• 26:57
  Speaker 13: love it. That's the way the guys love and we
• 26:59
  Speaker 13: enjoy that want it any other way. So that type
• 27:01
  Speaker 13: of stuff is flattering. But ultimately, one hundred percent of
• 27:04
  Speaker 13: our effort and focus is on Sunday every single week.
• 27:07
  Speaker 13: So it's really not any more complicated than that. Like
• 27:10
  Speaker 13: I said, I know that's the boring answer, but that
• 27:12
  Speaker 13: kind of is the truth.
• 27:14
  Speaker 12: I appreciate the honesty. Anton is two weeks in a row,
• 27:18
  Speaker 12: he's gotten out on the edge and been able to
• 27:20
  Speaker 12: show kind of some of that athleticism. Just how special
• 27:24
  Speaker 12: is that for an offensive lineman to be able to
• 27:26
  Speaker 12: move that well and pick up blocks for you.
• 27:29
  Speaker 5: Guys, Definitely special.
• 27:31
  Speaker 13: I love anytime we have the opportunity to showcase those
• 27:33
  Speaker 13: big guys athleticism.
• 27:34
  Speaker 5: I love it. I know they love it.
• 27:36
  Speaker 13: They love getting out in space or minded everybody that
• 27:38
  Speaker 13: they are athletes. And when you have a guy like
• 27:40
  Speaker 13: Anton who really is an athlete, and the way he
• 27:42
  Speaker 13: was moving this past weekend and even two weekends ago
• 27:45
  Speaker 13: on that one screen when he's flying down the sideline,
• 27:48
  Speaker 13: it's cool and exciting not only for him and the
• 27:50
  Speaker 13: old line guys to see, but for the skill guys
• 27:52
  Speaker 13: to recognize that's a guy with thought, a lot of
• 27:55
  Speaker 13: weight moving really fast down the sideline.
• 27:57
  Speaker 5: That's very special. As you said, thank you.
• 28:03
  Speaker 11: Okay, maybe this is one you can take us behind
• 28:05
  Speaker 11: the curtain. Maybe it won't be a boring answer.
• 28:07
  Speaker 10: Grant, where were you?
• 28:09
  Speaker 11: What was your reaction when Sewn says over the headset
• 28:12
  Speaker 11: on Sunday, Yeah, Walker is going to go in at
• 28:14
  Speaker 11: right guard.
• 28:17
  Speaker 13: Oh man, I'm going to give you another boring answer.
• 28:19
  Speaker 13: I'm really racking up the booring answer. So I apologize
• 28:21
  Speaker 13: that there was really no flinch when we had that moment.
• 28:25
  Speaker 13: I think from the coachings happened definitely not from the players.
• 28:28
  Speaker 13: And I know that sounds like a cop out another
• 28:31
  Speaker 13: boring answer, Like I said, but you guys had asked
• 28:34
  Speaker 13: about why we had so many rotations in the spring.
• 28:36
  Speaker 13: Why I had so many rotations in training camp. Part
• 28:39
  Speaker 13: of that is knowing that you're not going to play
• 28:41
  Speaker 13: the full season with the same five offensive linement at
• 28:43
  Speaker 13: the same position for the full time.
• 28:45
  Speaker 5: Part of that was.
• 28:46
  Speaker 13: Also due to the fact that we had guys who
• 28:47
  Speaker 13: are really versatile, and we have guys who played on
• 28:51
  Speaker 13: the left, played on the right, inside outside. Colv and
• 28:53
  Speaker 13: Landin's done a phenomenal job playing basically every position but
• 28:57
  Speaker 13: center and tight end this season and then really since
• 29:00
  Speaker 13: the Bible became a pretty short timeframe. Same thing with
• 29:03
  Speaker 13: our tackles have both taken reps and played on both sides. Really,
• 29:07
  Speaker 13: Walker's played inside and outside. So because of what they've
• 29:11
  Speaker 13: done in practice, and they've shown their ability and shown
• 29:14
  Speaker 13: their ability to handle that from mental and physical standpoint,
• 29:18
  Speaker 13: I don't think there was any flinch from the coaching
• 29:19
  Speaker 13: staff or the players. For Walker to be able to
• 29:21
  Speaker 13: go out there and do what he did is still
• 29:23
  Speaker 13: unbelievably impressive. With all that being said, but really the
• 29:26
  Speaker 13: guys kind of hit took it and shried and just
• 29:28
  Speaker 13: kept rolling with it.
• 29:30
  Speaker 10: Gotcha, No, that still works. I mean it's not too boring.
• 29:33
  Speaker 11: I just didn't know if like in the week, Like
• 29:34
  Speaker 11: I know, Liam told us yesterday he didn't think Walker
• 29:37
  Speaker 11: took any snaps at guard during the week of preparation.
• 29:40
  Speaker 11: So that's where you know, it was like, all right,
• 29:41
  Speaker 11: well here we go.
• 29:42
  Speaker 13: Yeah, we had given him a couple reps, but like
• 29:45
  Speaker 13: I mentioned, about even the quarterback position and the forward.
• 29:48
  Speaker 5: Walker had taken some reps at guard during the week,
• 29:51
  Speaker 5: but it's very, very limited. You only have so many reps.
• 29:53
  Speaker 13: You don't have full pad, you don't have full speed
• 29:56
  Speaker 13: practice reps. So even with the reps he took where
• 30:00
  Speaker 13: he's walking through or taking him at half speed tempo,
• 30:02
  Speaker 13: that's not nearly the same. You can't emulate that game
• 30:06
  Speaker 13: speed and that intensity, especially against a defense like that.
• 30:09
  Speaker 13: So to say that he took reps is kind of
• 30:11
  Speaker 13: a little bit of a farce, even me saying that,
• 30:13
  Speaker 13: because he never has taken He certainly has not played
• 30:16
  Speaker 13: those plays at full speed against a real opponent at
• 30:19
  Speaker 13: any point during the week or probably even during the
• 30:22
  Speaker 13: spring or training camp. So that's absolutely exceptional effort and
• 30:27
  Speaker 13: ability by Walker to be able to go out there
• 30:28
  Speaker 13: and execute at a high level, such a high level
• 30:31
  Speaker 13: on short notice, with such a little preparation.
• 30:33
  Speaker 10: And then we'll wrap with this. Maybe you can help me.
• 30:36
  Speaker 11: Do you happen to know why, Trevor and statistic Maybe
• 30:39
  Speaker 11: you have some stats handy, Maybe it's something you guys
• 30:41
  Speaker 11: have been diving into. Why has he been so good
• 30:43
  Speaker 11: against the Blitz the last month or so comparatively, he's
• 30:46
  Speaker 11: got a fifty nine percent completion percentage for the season
• 30:49
  Speaker 11: against the Blitz, but the last few weeks it's been
• 30:51
  Speaker 11: automatic ten to fifteen on Sunday, ninety nine yards, two touchdowns.
• 30:56
  Speaker 11: Why has it really come together here in this last
• 30:58
  Speaker 11: month and in that particular Anario.
• 31:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah, another great question.
• 31:03
  Speaker 13: I think a lot of it has to do with, well,
• 31:07
  Speaker 13: there's probably a couple of in factors, but a lot
• 31:08
  Speaker 13: of it has to do with his recognition and his
• 31:11
  Speaker 13: comfortability with the system and what he's doing pre snap
• 31:14
  Speaker 13: and how that relates to what he's going to do
• 31:16
  Speaker 13: post snap. Earlier in the year, and when you're first
• 31:20
  Speaker 13: taking your first couple reps out there with the offense,
• 31:22
  Speaker 13: it's so different, so foreign compared to what he's used to.
• 31:25
  Speaker 5: There's a lot going on pre snap.
• 31:26
  Speaker 13: There's shifts, there's motions that maybe you don't have as
• 31:28
  Speaker 13: much time or you don't have as much mental space
• 31:31
  Speaker 13: to devote to recognizing the defense and recognizing the blitz
• 31:34
  Speaker 13: and what's going on.
• 31:36
  Speaker 5: Now.
• 31:36
  Speaker 13: I think that he's gotten more comfortable and he's able
• 31:38
  Speaker 13: to play faster. He has more of that working memory
• 31:41
  Speaker 13: available to identify what's the defense doing. What am I
• 31:44
  Speaker 13: going to be able to do? What's this blitz? Can
• 31:46
  Speaker 13: I recognize what this blitz is? Can we figure out
• 31:49
  Speaker 13: what's coming before it happens and then maybe get into
• 31:51
  Speaker 13: the right check or get to the right play, or
• 31:54
  Speaker 13: just know what the right response is beforehand. So I
• 31:56
  Speaker 13: think a lot of that starts with his recognition, and
• 31:59
  Speaker 13: then say, secondly, it goes into being on the same
• 32:01
  Speaker 13: page with the wideouts, with the tight ends, whoever it
• 32:04
  Speaker 13: might be. When you are facing the blitz, everything is
• 32:08
  Speaker 13: going to kind of be you know, I guess exacerbating
• 32:12
  Speaker 13: the sense that if you have a certain route that
• 32:15
  Speaker 13: needs to be at a certain timing or at a
• 32:17
  Speaker 13: certain depth and it's a little bit off, well you
• 32:20
  Speaker 13: might have point two less seconds to get that throw
• 32:23
  Speaker 13: off or point three seconds to get that throw off.
• 32:25
  Speaker 13: So if it's not exactly right, then that's the difference
• 32:29
  Speaker 13: between a negative play and a positive play against the blitz.
• 32:31
  Speaker 13: So it's just that small margin of error of improvement
• 32:33
  Speaker 13: that we've made with the wideouts, with maybe the protection,
• 32:36
  Speaker 13: sometimes with maybe recognition, that can be the difference between
• 32:39
  Speaker 13: the numbers that you cited and maybe sometimes struggling against pressure.
• 32:43
  Speaker 10: Awesome, thanks gant Merry Christmas.
• 32:45
  Speaker 5: Merry Christmas, guys. Thank you, guys so much,
