- 0:14Speaker 1: It's just kind of we've done it and we've had
- 0:16Speaker 1: a few weeks like when we played Arizona quite similar
- 0:19Speaker 1: that these guys do it a way higher rate than
- 0:22Speaker 1: most teams. New Orleans were like it when prepared for them.
- 0:24Speaker 1: It's just scripting practice, making sure the guys understand the
- 0:28Speaker 1: speed and the tempo that it gets on you and
- 0:30Speaker 1: then understand calls that are easy to execute and communicate with.
- 0:35Speaker 3: Is that like just getting to the line quicker? And

- 0:43Speaker 1: do different things. And just saying that, and they're they're
- 0:45Speaker 1: really good at it. They've been you've seen it. They've
- 0:47Speaker 1: been extremely successful.

- 1:01Speaker 1: Yeah, at times you have to be you have to
- 1:02Speaker 1: be able to be yourself while that's moving, but also
- 1:07Speaker 1: you have to be able to have some change ups.
- 1:09Speaker 1: And they're the things you work on and they're the
- 1:11Speaker 1: things you gain plan and see the times when you can.
- 1:14Speaker 1: You know, what, do you see that Nick.
- 1:16Speaker 3: Gamon worry that you've got to be four games under
- 1:19Speaker 3: growing into that role.
- 1:20Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's so cool seeing him grow like
- 1:24Speaker 1: he his athletic ability and his size allows him to
- 1:27Speaker 1: do a lot of different things. And it's it's just
- 1:30Speaker 1: always as like when you get players like that, it's
- 1:32Speaker 1: exciting because you can do multiple different things, but it's
- 1:35Speaker 1: also understanding that you've got to allow him. You see,
- 1:38Speaker 1: the more comfortable he gets, the faster you can play,
- 1:40Speaker 1: the more speed, and you see the more athleticism. So
- 1:43Speaker 1: I see him growing. I see him growing in confidence.
- 1:45Speaker 1: I see him out there today making plays. It's like
- 1:48Speaker 1: you just got to keep it in small in a
- 1:50Speaker 1: small world for him so he can be himself and
- 1:52Speaker 1: really show what he does.
- 1:54Speaker 2: You and Dan Quinn talking all about DeMarcus Lawrence coming
- 1:57Speaker 2: here instead of going there during the off season. No,
- 2:00Speaker 2: we just no after times.
- 2:05Speaker 1: Yeah, and talked to him. I haven't spoken to him
- 2:06Speaker 1: this week obviously, but yeah.
- 2:09Speaker 3: You were with him a long time and Landa and
- 2:11Speaker 3: Dallas what Dan mean you.
- 2:12Speaker 1: And that means a lot he gave me. He gave
- 2:15Speaker 1: me opportunity, gave me the one. He's one of the
- 2:18Speaker 1: reasons why I'm standing today doing this job, you know.
- 2:22Speaker 1: But yeah, he's a good friend, but he's on the
- 2:25Speaker 1: other side of the field this week.
- 2:28Speaker 3: What do you think about him as a.
- 2:30Speaker 1: Leader of man don That's that's what he does, you know, Like,
- 2:36Speaker 1: I think you have to ask his players. But when
- 2:38Speaker 1: I've seen him do it and worked with him, he
- 2:39Speaker 1: does it a very high level.
- 2:41Speaker 2: To another season had last year and tops to see
- 2:45Speaker 2: him kind of get off the start as quickly as
- 2:47Speaker 2: he has kind.
- 2:47Speaker 1: Of beat himself again.
- 2:49Speaker 3: What do you think of that that.
- 2:51Speaker 2: These first six games for him?
- 2:53Speaker 1: Yeah, I think this is a great question that China
- 2:57Speaker 1: like has multiple Like obviously it's extremely talented, plays a
- 3:00Speaker 1: great leader for us. But he is a resilient person.
- 3:03Speaker 1: You can see it because it's not just one year,
- 3:04Speaker 1: it's really two years. You know, he's been out for
- 3:07Speaker 1: and he came back a bit last year, but he
- 3:10Speaker 1: doesn't in that time, the time that I got here
- 3:13Speaker 1: and the time and I've got to know him and
- 3:14Speaker 1: we've been through this, he don't flinch. He just he
- 3:18Speaker 1: just works. He gets better. He got the bad news,
- 3:21Speaker 1: he got back to work, got his head down when
- 3:24Speaker 1: he was rehabbing, he was in all our meetings, learning
- 3:26Speaker 1: and leading the young guys. And then he comes out
- 3:29Speaker 1: and he flourishes. It more makes me happy than surprised.
- 3:33Speaker 1: He's like, he's doing a great job.
- 3:36Speaker 3: Carter kind of grow into what he's been.
- 3:39Speaker 1: Yeah, to me, it's very similar to Drake. I think,
- 3:42Speaker 1: like ty Ty made a lot of plays in training camp,
- 3:45Speaker 1: and now you're seeing him like not just make plays,
- 3:49Speaker 1: but he's comfortable in the defense. He can communicate, He
- 3:52Speaker 1: does the things he was doing in training camp, but
- 3:54Speaker 1: he's doing it. I'm a lot more free and that's
- 3:57Speaker 1: just confidence he's growing.
- 3:58Speaker 3: You know, it's probably falls under a category of like
- 4:01Speaker 3: good problems to have. But when Spoon moved back and
- 4:04Speaker 3: you have Nick and more and they're both such good
- 4:06Speaker 3: like box players, and how you kind of figure out
- 4:09Speaker 3: how you utilize both those.
- 4:10Speaker 1: Guys, that's the fun of the game, you know, Like
- 4:12Speaker 1: you do that at every level of the defense. We're
- 4:14Speaker 1: lucky with tell talented players and how you move them
- 4:17Speaker 1: around and how you give them opportunities is part of
- 4:20Speaker 1: how we gain plan and part of how we keep
- 4:22Speaker 1: it simple for Nick and all these different things. So
- 4:25Speaker 1: like these opportunities, they raise competition and they give people
- 4:30Speaker 1: opportunities play different spots. You know, he has how he's
- 4:41Speaker 1: he's not at all, He's he's just he's so locked in.
- 4:46Speaker 1: Like he's just he loves football like he you can
- 4:50Speaker 1: tell he passionately loves football. He watches it, he learns it,
- 4:54Speaker 1: he can communicate it. He teaches other players, like when
- 4:58Speaker 1: he works with Nick, He's gonna with Nick now he's
- 5:01Speaker 1: on the field because he talks. You know, he talks
- 5:03Speaker 1: to d Lineman when he's on the field, tells him
- 5:04Speaker 1: stuff that's coming. He he is a true pro.
- 5:08Speaker 2: When you've got a team like Washington that had high
- 5:09Speaker 2: expectations coming in the year, they're three and five now
- 5:12Speaker 2: and they're gonna be kind of desperate in this Sunday
- 5:15Speaker 2: night game, you talk to the players at all about
- 5:17Speaker 2: just how much they're gonna get from that team and
- 5:20Speaker 2: how to kind of prepare for maybe the early.
- 5:22Speaker 1: Punch that they might take from Washington. This the NFL,
- 5:25Speaker 1: like it's the same every week. We like Houston could
- 5:30Speaker 1: be in the same boat. We could be in the
- 5:31Speaker 1: same boat one day like this to me, I don't
- 5:34Speaker 1: think you can. Like you ask me if I know
- 5:36Speaker 1: dan Quinn, the guys will be ready. This is a
- 5:38Speaker 1: game like we're coming out. I know they're coming out
- 5:41Speaker 1: to beat us, like we have to be our best
- 5:43Speaker 1: every week. Thanks
