• 0:03
  Speaker 2: Uh, Doug, can you I don't know how much you've
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: been able to how much film you've been able to see.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: But how did Darnell do with safety yesterday? And if
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: everybody stays healthy, is he going to be even more
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: valuable given the number of positions he can play?
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: I think I think.
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: First of all, he played he played well. He played
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: really well. He did some great things, great communication, you know.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: So yeah, that was that was definitely a positive.
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: Antonio played more of the dime position, you know, and
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: and and Jari and the Nickels. So it was it
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: was a good It was a good change up for
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: us yesterday. As far as moving forward, you know, I
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: could I could foresee that being the case. You got
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: to remember too, we got you know, uh, Andrew Winderd
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: still sitting there potentially you know, coming back in the
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: next uh, you know, a few weeks, so that could
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: also shake some things up again. So but as of
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: right now, that was that was a good move for
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: us yesterday.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: And also when you've got when you're facing a team
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: used to play for and you've had some experience in
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: this obviously the NFL players, even if there is any
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: emotion involved, do they Once the game kicks off, is
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: it just another team that you have to beat?
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: I think I think during the week, you know, you
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: make more of it.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: You're you know, maybe Mac Jones last week talked to
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: some of his buddies in New England, you know, and
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: vice versa.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: So I think that's during the week.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: But once the once you once you tee it up
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: and kick it off, it's definitely definitely a game and
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: you and you focus on your job.
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: Thank you coach you bet e rock followed by Mia
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: a dog just to get some injury and some other stuff.
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: By the way, cam concussion protocol is that yes?
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Okay?
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: And can you give us an update on status with
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: Foyer and Dewey in terms of when they may be
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: able to come off?
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: Uh?
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I'll tell you this.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: Both guys, did you know? Both guys were in London
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: with us. Both guys you know, rehabbed and worked out
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: separate from the team obviously, but both guys are in
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: a in a really good place and and we're we're
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: optimistic and hopeful that maybe, you know, maybe this is
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: the week that we can we can open their window
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: up and they can they can practice and and and
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: get back with the team. So, you know, definitely something
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: to look forward to. Both guys are in a good
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: place and and obviously if we if we make that decision,
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: you know, it would be it would be later in
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: the week.
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: Do you have any more clarity on the to Sean
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: Gibson situation at this point? Why it wasn't cleared And.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: You know, Mike, I don't, I honestly do not. I mean,
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: it's a league decision right now. It's in their hands
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: as far as the being being released, you know, from
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: the suspension, so honestly until until we hear further, That's
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: that's where it's at right now.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: I've got one more on Trevor.
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: You know, first part of twenty twenty.
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: Two, he was not good, got got hot, second part
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: of twenty twenty two hot, the first part of twenty three.
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: You know, maybe wasn't playing his best football the first
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: part of the season.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: The last three weeks.
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: He's been really, really good.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Is he just a streaky guy?
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: And and are are there quarterbacks that are just streaky quarterbacks?
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Well, I know.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: It's a it's an interesting interesting question. Uh, you know,
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: let's let's hope he's streaky and he gets on a streak.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Right, I mean, that's that's what we all we all
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: hope for.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: I think too, he's he's uh, you know, continuing to grow,
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: you know, with what we're doing and learning and understand
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: it's it's only his third year, you know, in this
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: system and and playing this position. So he he's done
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: a great job for us. Uh And and you know,
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: like I said, I hope if this is the if
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: this is him getting on a streak, let's let's keep
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: it going. And and let's let's stay let's stay with
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: the hot hand.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 4:07
  Speaker 6: Uh huh, Hey, Doug, curious what you thought of Walker
• 4:13
  Speaker 6: Little's performance yesterday?
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: You know what I thought he did. I thought he
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: did a good job. Obviously about the fourth or fifth play.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: He has to come in, you know, into the game
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: and and and and uh and.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: And play from there. You know. You know, Walker's a
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Walker's a pro. That's what I like about him.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: He he comes to work every day, He prepares like
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: a starter, and he's always ready and and you never know,
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: it's uh.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: We're blessed to have you know.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: Three four If you look at Coban landing and and
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: you know the way he played in pre season Javon Foster,
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: but we're blessed to have you know, uh, more than
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: more than two or you know.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: In this case three tackles.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: But he did great, He did a good job and
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: something that we'll see how Cam does. But if we
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: had to, you know, go into this game with him
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: at left tackle, we're obviously more than comfortable doing that
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: and got a lot of confidence in him and and
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: he'll be he'll.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Be ready to go either way.
• 5:11
  Speaker 6: The offensive line in particular has had a lot of
• 5:14
  Speaker 6: success over the last three four weeks, and you know
• 5:16
  Speaker 6: Trevor's numbers I think kind of play a hand in
• 5:18
  Speaker 6: that as well. What has it been these last three
• 5:21
  Speaker 6: or four weeks that has really clicked for them?
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: I think Mia, what you're seeing is is these guys
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: have have now logged a lot of time together and
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: and there's some continuity there and there's I mean, if
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: you just go back to last year and all the
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: different line combinations we had each week, it's it's difficult,
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: it's hard, and it's hard to get, you know, consistency,
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: and I think that's what you're seeing.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: I think you're seeing the consistency up front.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: You know, we've scaled back on on the amount of
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: run scheme, keeping it simple for those guys, keep it
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: keep it to where we can and we can you know,
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: call the same plays multiple times in games and and
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: so it's been good. It's been good for them, and
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: and it gives them a lot of confidence too, knowing
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: they can go out and knowing exactly what's what's.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Gonna happen and and just go execute.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: So it's been it's been good that we've had the
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: five guys together, you know, up really up until up
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: until yesterday.
• 6:24
  Speaker 6: Thank you, John Shipley, followed by Travis Holmes.
• 6:29
  Speaker 7: Gat the thanks for doing this. It seemed like Eric
• 6:32
  Speaker 7: played a little bit more inside yesterday. Just how would
• 6:35
  Speaker 7: you evaluate his performance and does it seem like he's
• 6:37
  Speaker 7: kind of coming on after having to sit out and
• 6:39
  Speaker 7: most of the training camp and whatnot.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: I do. I do think he's getting his you know,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: kind of his his game legs. I think he's obviously
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: he's a really good you know, interior.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: D line and that's that's where he's made, Uh, you know,
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: the the bulk of his successes coming from from inside
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: right as a three technique, especially in nickel pass down
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: situations and and uh.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: He showed that yesterday. He did a nice job on
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: the guard.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: He's got had had one of the higher higher pressure
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: rates you know yesterday. So he's doing a good job.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: And and we keep working with him outside too. It's
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: a little bit new position for him on the outside,
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: particularly in first and second down situations. But you know,
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: he he's a veteran player that that that you know,
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: we count on and we rely on and and and
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: you know he's been great too for for Josh and
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: and Tray Vaughn and you know, Miles Cole some of
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: the younger players as well, you know, teaching them just
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: just what it takes to be a pro.
• 7:37
  Speaker 7: I know I've asked you a few times this year
• 7:39
  Speaker 7: about Gray Vaughn and the steps he's taking. Does it
• 7:42
  Speaker 7: seem like he's at the point where now he's kind
• 7:44
  Speaker 7: of reached a new standard for him and he's just
• 7:46
  Speaker 7: kind of getting better with each game.
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: Yes, short answers, Yes, he he definitely improves each week.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: He's he's learning different different moves, you know, pass rush moves.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: He's so you're seeing the power, You're seeing the land
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: and now and now really for the for the really
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: for the whole d line. Now we've got to just
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: finish better, just strain a little bit better, and we
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: we we get a few more sacks. Right So, but
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: but Trayvon is in a good place. He works at
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: it during the week and and it shows up on
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: game day.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Thanks Doug, yep, I think people are.
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: Last one, Travis.
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: Holmes, afternoon coach, Now that you've had the chance to,
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: you know, take a look at the tape, you know,
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: in your travels back, how do how did you grade?
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: How would you evaluate the play of the secondary in
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: this past game?
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: You know what it was? It was? It was good.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: It was good. You know.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: I know there were some big plays that uh, you know,
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: big pass plays, but again those are had nothing to
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: do with the scheme, had nothing to do It's just.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: New England making plays.
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: They caught us in in in the right I guess,
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: in the wrong coverage, but the right right play and
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: against the right defense for them. But but I thought overall,
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: they you know, they played they played physical, they played aggressive.
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: I thought the addition of Tyson back yesterday was huge.
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: He almost had he almost had a big big turnover
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: there interception late in the game, or I should say
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: probably in the third I.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: Would have been the third quarter, I think it was.
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: You know, so these guys, these guys are beginning to gel,
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: they're beginning to see the big picture. I think as
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: they as they prepare a buster. You know, Montera keeps
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: keeps getting better and improving. And it was good to again,
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: you know, to be able to allow Darby the rest
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: during the game and the rotation there so you know,
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: other than a couple of big plays that look, look
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: it's it's the NFL. They're going to make their plays too.
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: Other than that, I thought the secondary played really well.
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: And you did speak on the rotation within the cornerback group.
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: I think that might have been one of the biggest,
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: the biggest frequency of rotations we've seen with the cornerback class.
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: Jarion Jones had seventy five percent snap count week. But
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: that a plan going into the week, like just from
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: something you guys saw with within New England or.
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: Well, you know a lot of times you know, we're
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: we're a match match personnel team, so you're gonna when
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: when they're in when they're in eleven personnel, you know
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: we're gonna go Nickel.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: And then obviously the.
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: Plan yesterday was jarring at the nickel and and Sad
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: was going to play the play the safety spot. So uh,
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: that was just by design, is by game plan, you know.
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: And and then when we go dying personnel, you know,
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: Antonio comes into game. So a lot of it's just
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: by by scheme, you know. How how you know, coach
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: Ryan puts the game plan together each week. And and
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: that's why you probably saw more numbers, you know, by Jarian,
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: just because they were more eleven personnel offensively
