  Speaker 1: What did you like the most about the way Trevor
• 0:01
  Speaker 1: play the other day, Trembor Lawrence. Um, yeah, no, you
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: know what I thought. He he was very efficient, you know,
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Um obviously twenty two passing you know, um, really good
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: in the run game with some of the checks we
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: gave him and and really did did what we asked
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: him to do. Um, did a nice job in the
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: fourth quarter, you know, leading that drive down to to
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: get us the lead, uh, you know, late in that game,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: and and put it put us in a position to
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: to go ahead and potentially win it. So those are
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: those are obviously the steps that that we need him
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: to take. And uh, that was that was big in
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: that direction that driver I want best. I think so.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: I think so he was able to you know, stand
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: in there and had a little you know, a little
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: heat you know in his face, stood and there made
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: a nice throw on the sideline over the top of
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: the defender. Um. Yeah, really good throw. Who is that
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: game playing party designed to get him? Um? You know,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: and have about back game after a lot of d
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: a little bit again it goes back to you know
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: what the what the Colts do defensively, you know, Um,
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: they like to keep all eyes on the quarterback and
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: and um, you know rush four seven and in coverage
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: and and sort of rally and keep everything in front.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: So it's a it's a matter of you know, staying
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: disciplined and and I thought he did that and really
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: stayed not only within himself, but within the structure of
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: the offense. You know, looks at the Giants. How does
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: that framework change? Obviously it's a different opponent, but how
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: do you keep him playing within a framework? Yeah, I
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: mean it's now it's a different set of set of
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: challenges this week. Um. You know, uh, Wink does a
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: great job of adjusting personnel different different different people in
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: the game, different coverages. You know, still wants to come
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: out of a one higher single high defense. But he'll
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: present zone, whill present man and then of course he'll
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: he'll blitch you and and that's been his m O.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: And um, you know, but it's still as a quarterback,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: you still want to stay in rhythm, you know, timing, accuracy,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: all those things are are highly important. Um, and being
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: able to handle the blitz. You know, I think this
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: week is going to be, um one of the one
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: of the challenges that we have as an offense, Is
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: there any other previous game that you can draw on
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: from earlier this year to prepare for the defense likeness?
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: I mean, you can look back early in the season.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: I think, uh, a little bit of the Washington game,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: you know, I think even the Charger game in there, um,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: you know where they want to you know, mix multiple personnels,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: play five man fronts, you know, get after the pass
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: or um, you know, make you throw the football. Those
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: types of things. Those are those are games that that uh,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: you know, Trevor can look at, we can look at
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: and and see what worked, you know, and and and
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: try to use that, um, you know this week. But
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: you know it's gonna take it's gonna take all eleven.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Really on offense, Um, this this team is is playing.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: They're playing well. Obviously five and one opportunistic, They're they're
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: creating some takeaways and and key and key moments, you know,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: especially late in the fourth quarter especially you know, you
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: look at last week what they did in Baltimore. So, um,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: they're they're playing well and playing with a lot of confidence.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Looking back on some of your plays from this past game,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: specifically the hasty run where you have the big unbalanced line,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: how often do you can you can realistically, can can
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: a team you know, run from that kind of a
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: set because it's so it's so different, But you know,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: obviously we can't do it, you know everybody, No, I
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: think that was you know, it was a short yardage situation,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: I believe, and um, uh if i'm if, I'm thinking
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: there's third and one when they hit. Yeah, so sure,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: you are a situation. And you know sometimes listen, you know,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: offenses and defenses can kind of get a little predictable
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: in those situations. You kind of know where the defense
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: is going to be, and then you know, defensively, I
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: think you know what the offense is going to do
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: based on based on personnel. So it was just a
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: you know, for us, it was just a well executed play. Um,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: it was an off tackle type play and and um,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: you know, I think Luke was over there, man, Hurt
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: was over there. You know, JT blocked uh the guys
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: they had to block, and then it was just a
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: just a nice nice opening for for Hasting. You're two
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: starting tackles being right next to each other. That's just
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: oh that one. You just well, you don't but you know, again,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: I I credit you know coach Rosh or Phil for
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: for the scheme and the game plan there and what
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: he what he saw, Um, you know, and we did it,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: uh you know multiple times in that game last week
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: was the unbalanced stuff and and um, you know something
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: that we can continue to work on as a follow
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: up the specifically the agnew reverse you line up in
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: in a way that looks like it could be your
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: basic run play right the play the play action to
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: eat n play pick the VD in. How rewarding is
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: it when you, you know, win that kind of a
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: chess match. You showed the opponent a look that's kind
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: of a basic look, and then you throw that wrinkle
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: in there. I mean, you're you're you're happy if it works,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: you know, and then you're you're disappointed if it doesn't.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: But again, you know, we you're going against a common opponent, right,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: it's the second time we played, you know, the Colts,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: and you try to come up with things that they
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: haven't seen from us. Um and and it just so
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: happened that was an opportunity to execute that play and
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: and I was just hopefully he would have scored, but
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: you know, we did score on the dript the same
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: thing went for the fourth and one that didn't work right. Yeah,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: and that was you know, I take credit on that one.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: I mean sometimes you you know, um, you just just
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: line up and play football sometimes, you know, and and um,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: you know it was just, um, it was a bad,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: bad decision on my part, you know, put our put
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: our team in a bad situation there. Numbers aren't really
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: eye poppy. But have you seen some progress from him
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: despite maybe kind of leaves the last two weeks. Yeah,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: I think to what you're seeing, his teams are aware
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: of him and and scheme and protection towards him. Um,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: you know, so he's gaining you know, the recognition and
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: and um obviously gaining respect of the opponents. But at
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: the same time, he needs to understand that he can't
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: get frustrated, you know. Um, he's got to continue to
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: to work and find ways to create rush, you know, um,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: and just play within himself. He's he's he's a good player.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: He's only going to get better. These are great learning experiences.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, obviously to two penalties that I know he
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: would like to have back, and and but he'll he'll
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: learn and and sometimes you learn the hard way, you know,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: And and and that's what he's going through right now.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: He's been very run defense obviously without fully out there
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: the last few weeks. That affects your run defense. UM
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Number one is fully. You think, how what's his status
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: for the Sunday looking life and too how do you
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: defend safe one? Markly with the way out? Well with fully,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: I think, you know, we're gonna see him out there today,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: so we'll get him back in practice and hopefully he's
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: capable and he's you know obviously day to day still,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: but we're hoping he makes it to Sunday. And listen,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: we need you know, we need all hands on deck
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: with with Sakwe, I watched this guy for you know,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: many years, Uh run all over us and you know
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: he's one of those backs where it's like you get two,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: you get three, you get one lost maybe a lost
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: artist play and then bang he'll hit you for fifty.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: I mean that's just the type of back he is.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: He's he's a he's an explosive running back. Um, he's
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: a downhill guy. He's got speed to circle the defense.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's just a complete guy. Then you're seeing him,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: you know, out of the backfield to make make plays there.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: So um, having having some bigger guys, you know, I
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: fully could go, um just help you know, anchor in
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: the in the middle of the run defense and and
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: uh but but with a guy like you know, Sake one,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: you gotta make sure you can you get him autography.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: Campbell kind of grow since you got here. I think
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: just you know, as he's played more, he's game more confidence.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: Um came out of training camp that way. I think
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: in in you know, you could just see it in
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: in his play and um, you know early in the
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: season you saw a couple throws his way that didn't
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: go his way, you know. Um, but now more and
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: more as teams you know, try to challenge that side.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: You know, you're seeing him, you know, break those break
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: those plays up and and make those plays. And so
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: it just comes with playing. You know, young players need
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: to play and and um, you know, he's done a
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: nice job. He's he's fitting into the scheme really well
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: and just playing with confidence. Kind of like what trade,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: Bron are you seeing Maybe offenses maybe respect Campbell a
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: little more, maybe you know, take him in a part
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: of the game plans. I mean, I think I think
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: so you know, uh, they're still was still trying. They're
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: still trying to throw the ball that way, you know,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: and you have to. But you know, it's just the
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: more he makes plays, the more confident he gets, you know,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: and and he he seems to be in the right position.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: He's a good tackler, you know, out in space, and
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: and um, just just a nice, young, solid player. Force
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: the coverage issue that he had last week, is it
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: just a matter of saying you've got to play better
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: or is there something schematically or personalities you can do? Yeah,
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: I think I think there's a little bit all that,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: quite honestly. Um, you know, if if we if we
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: play man coverage, we gotta play man coverage, right, we
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: we can't, Um, we can't give so much free access sometimes,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: you know, now I'll say that to say this, the
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: team's scheme man coverage. Right, you're getting bunches, you're getting stacks.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: It's a way to draw you know, picks and allow
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: guys to t get open. And now you're in a
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: trail position as a dB, and it's hard, it's extremely hard,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: and and um, but you do the best you can.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: You can. Obviously you can mix you know, maybe some
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: zone in there you know from time to time. But
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: at the same time, you know, we we ask our
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: guys to do a lot. We challenge them, you know,
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: some of the veteran players and and uh and somewhere
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: we gotta just make a play, you know, and and
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: and as coaches, you know, we gotta make sure we're
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: doing the right thing too, and and putting our players
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: in position to be successful. Do you inspect Jamal martin
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: your owns the practice today, Marvin, yes, Jamal No. Yeah,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: we're gonna We're gonna kind of see where he's at.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: He'll be out there running around, but but as far
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: as taking any kind of team reps, he'll be he'll
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: be out You kind of touched on this a little
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: bit earlier with the opportunistic New York Giants, but when
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: you look at all of their games, it's almost like
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: one score game similar to to this team. Um, but
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: they've just been able to come out with them. When
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: do you see those those similarities between the teams and
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: sort of what do you think your team needs to
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: do to sort of get over that home. Yeah, I
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: mean there are a lot of similarities. You know, when
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: you look at the scoring, you know, you look at
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: scoring my quarter. There's a lot of a lot of similarities.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: They're both teams. I think. I think the number one
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: thing that we just have to focus on is us,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: you know, and making sure that you know, we make
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: plays and fourth in the fourth quarter, and we haven't
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: done that well enough. You know this year. We're consistent enough,
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: you know where where they are and and um, you know,
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: they're they're making those plays. They're in the right spot
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: at the right time, and you know, and that's kind
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: of the way this league goes. Sometimes the ball bounces
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: in your favor and and and give them credit, they're
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: they're in the right position to make those plays. Um.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: And that's something that you know each week that we
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: we learned from ours and you know, try to be
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: in position week each week to you know, to come
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: up with the ball or to make the play that
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: that wins the game. Like you guys are getting closer
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: to doing that. I do, I do. UM. You know,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: It's it's something that it's a it's a want to,
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: it's a desire, and you see it from the guys.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: You see it from the team. That's why they're they're
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: dejected and kind of kind of ticked off at the
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: end of the game for you know, for for many reasons,
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: but that's the main reason, just not being able to
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: fit as your game, you know, and maybe close out
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: an opponent in the fourth quarter. Whether that's offense running
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: the ball for first downs or you know, getting first
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: downs right, or the defense you know, getting off the
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: field on third down. Those are all hand in hand
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: things that uh, you know, we haven't been able to
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: do yet for a couple of years there. But then
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: also Daniel Jones, how have you kind of seen his
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: play change with dable ascent coach? Well, first of all,
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: you know, uh, Daniel Jonales is a guy that can
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: can beat you, not only with his arm, but was
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: like I've watched him split our defense and two for
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: sixty five yard runs, you know, and and he's he's
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: a better runner than I think people give him credit for. Um.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: And then the second part of that is, I think
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: coach Table has done a nice job of just doing
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: what he does best, you know, and and and and
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: using that as a strength, right, um, much like we're
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: trying to do with with Trevor, you know, and just
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: do do what the you know what what what they
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: do what they do best, and that's just being being
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: efficient in the passing game. Get the ball out of
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: your hand, don't take you know, the unwanted sack or
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: the untimely sack. You know, don't turn the ball over.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: And those are all things that uh, you know, Daniel's done,
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: and he's done a nice job with since brought using
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: his legs. How much of a weapon is that, you
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: knowing last year under a different regime, they didn't want
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: him to run as you know, do you want him
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: to run all the time? No, But at the same time,
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: it is an opportunity to you know, gain valuable yards,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: get a first down, stay on the field. So, um,
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: anytime he has the ability to do that, you know,
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: I encourage him to protect himself obviously, which he's done. Um.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: You know we've had some design runs on third down
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: that he's picked up some uh, some first downs and
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: those are all those are all part of the part
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: of the game. But anytime he can he can scramble
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: use his legs. Um, get after it any like person,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: you know your runs as you childs were out to
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: get I'm probably gonna get a lot of your ards.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: Storm for all the time your name out of the Yeah,
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: I mean it's too Obviously, two different different styles, you know.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: One is is schematic, you know, with his own read
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: and and you know how you how you play your
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: ends or or uh you know your linebackers and and
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: and all of that on the back side. The other
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: one is just kind of impromptu pull the pull the
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: ball down and scramble, you know. And um, they're both

  Speaker 1: hard to defend, you know, but at the same time,
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: you gotta stay disciplined and in your you know, in
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: your not only your run fits, but your your eyes
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: have to stay disciplined. The scheme has to be disciplined
