• 0:00
  Speaker 1: They didn't. Guys, what was real question? What did you
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: like about uh? The Tyana played drum play?
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought he played really decisive. Obviously made those
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: two plays that were hell of plays. But he had
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: the opportunity to pick the ball on that fourth down
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: play and played It's just a solid game and owned
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: his role. It was.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: It was cool to see. He said. He also picked himself.
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: As far from the tampering and everything in the back
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: of the ronds.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: What about when you start feel like that always back
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: to the guy.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think like the the the first real sign
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: that we got out of it was when he played
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: the week before against Washington and and you see him.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: He's playing with confidence, He's playing with good technique and
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: executing at a high level.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: What do you throw the phrase next? Me? And up
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: around quite a bit everything he does, Certainly it's on
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: the player. And what does that say about our sundings?
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: The man beat dromp on some of these guys.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: I think it says obviously about teammates, but I also
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: think it speaks volumes for Mike's culture and what he's created.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: It's created a place where like people are expected.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: To be the best version of themselves and they have
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: to strive to be that and then they can step
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: in and fulfill these roles. And obviously when you start
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: and you jump into that role to start with it,
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: it can be daunting at times and you don't want
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: to make a mistake because it's your time on the field.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: But I thought that there's multiple guys we can say
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: that have come in, Like Neil Maya's played last week
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: was unreal, Drake's been playing at a high level, ty.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Tyrese pee Lee, Mike.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: All these guys step in and they understand what they're
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: going in for and they're trying to execute a high level.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: And that's what you can ask for someone. The goal
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: of every head coach, though, what's different about this one.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: I don't know what's different. I think.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: I think as you go through, I think it's the
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: goal of every coach, not just head coach. I think
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: you'll want your guys to play well. I think, as
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: I would say, what from that's a really good question,
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: I think, like, really, he puts it on us to
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: be the best version of ourselves, and I think like
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: that trickles down to the coaches.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: The coaches are trying to be the best version.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: And as that goes through the team, you're constantly challenging,
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: you're constantly evolving, You're constantly looking for solutions and answers,
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: and I think those things when people around you see that,
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: it becomes like the energy like flows.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Through people and they're all trying to do it and
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: that that's what we're feeling.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: Man. Now, what do you see from that Rams offensive
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: line in particular in rent blocking and.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, as speed, like, there is a difference from the
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: last few years. I played them in Dallas too, and
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: they get off the rock, they play fast, they play physical,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: they have good tracks, they understand the targets the world coach,
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: you can see it.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be a great battle.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: Literally was talking about the attack players and you kind
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: of how they do that what's sort of the challenge
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: and that how do.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: You prepare for that?
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: You just have to You have to wrap different tempoles
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: of speed and the way people like really good Offen
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: and guys that operate on a high level. They take
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: the line with intent, They take the line with speed,
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: no matter where the snapcount is coming from. They put
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: pressure on you from the moment they run out of
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: the huddle. And these guys do that and you just
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: have to practice it. Our offense gives us great looks
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: on it when we're doing good on good because they
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: do it, and we just constantly wrap it and constantly
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: go through it. You mentioned and when you saw that
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: way again, you know what's crazy is like in the game,
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: I saw it, but I didn't really see it. And
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: then like Mike text me just as we was driving home.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: When I got home and looked at it, I was like,
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: it's a hell of a playing with I was like,
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: it's elite, elite finished and you talk about like late
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: wins and going all the way to the ground. That's
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: like the example of it. And I was really proud
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: of him.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: What did he tell you today? It just text me
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: to Cliff and he was like, Leslie's bullders.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: I can see me in my I mean obviously he's
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: you know, largely kind of been watching other guys play,
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: but what these guys chances this year and he's down.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: But I think what you don't see about Nil Mayron
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: if you look, is like he's been boring on special
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: teams is a gunner and just going down there.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: And I think that's it isn't it. It's like every opportunity.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Were literally talking about this me and a couple of
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: the VET players today is like every opportunity, how.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Can you maximize your snaps?
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Like say there's sixty snaps, there's twelve special team snaps,
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: what are your reps and how could Like I think
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: if we keep pushing for that, we got a chance
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: to be the best.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Version wherever that ends up ends up.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: But like that's what like and when the guys are
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: talking about it, that's that's how That's when it's really cool.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: That's when you get excited.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: The first game about Jaron Reid, how do you feel
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: like the guy's building for him?
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah? I think do you miss Like the cool thing
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: was was Jay was there?
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: So like one, you don't miss his leadership, So like
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: he he's there, but you misses there's times you miss
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: him on the field. He's like he's got great football intelligence,
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: he's got understanding of pre snap id on what's happening.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: He helps the guys with that.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: So like there's other guys like he's taught Byron lot
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Del does that kind of stuff.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: But you can't replace a player like that, Like you
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: missing on that next player mentality how do you get
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: that player not to make that rep bigger than it is.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: And just in terms of what I think, it's preparation,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: like you just have to be you have this is
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: why we practice. This is why you go through the meetings,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: This is why you learn the playbook.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: This is why you have to walk through at a
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: really high level so that it's just another play like
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: you want to do it the best way you can
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: do it. But I think these guys like you watch
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Tieup practice in the preseason. You can hear him one
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: of the loudest players on the field. He's working his
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: rep like he's the start of those things. I think
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: prepare you at a high level that you can take
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: an opportunity when it comes around you.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Both shortyard stop for that.
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: What goes in the those kind of mentality the way
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: guy's Captulay little.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: Winning on the Yeah, the coach is the a game
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: plan that do a great job of prepping the players
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: and they understand the mentality of the down. It's to
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: take your shut down. It's a down that you have
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: to play the there's technique, there's system, and then there's
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: the man in front of you have to win that
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: battle at that moment in time and the guys that
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: coach that CP and those guys they do a great job.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: You just look at the Rams, they really joy to
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: give and everything.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Just manage them right, and the sticks every down because
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: is what you manage them. You don't get the guys
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: at them this week to try to disrupt that or
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: what's the best way to give them a bat. I
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: think you just have to play your your style of football.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: You have to play the system at a very high level,
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: and you have to understand the situation you're in.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: These guys are in a fishing unit.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: That are well coached. They understand what they're in. They
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: look for premium looks and we have to do our
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: job and pat high.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: Level sitwell coached a couple of times, obviously you see
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: great teams became we got in the NFL.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: We put on the Rams tape. Can you just tell
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: this is the team that stamped out a little bit. Yeah,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: I think, like you say, a week in week out,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: like you said, like.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: I thought, there's things that Arizona done last week, But
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: when I saw them on the tape, I thought they've
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: done things well. Yeah, Durram do a lot of things
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: very well they and they operate a high level. They
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: have a quarterback that can make every throw, makes fast decisions,
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: you know, Like but no, I think every week you
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: see I would say what they have is they have
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: it in multiple places and that that makes you go
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: to work.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: It seems like weeks played pretty well or a couple
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: of weeks. I guess what have you seen that?
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Like to that? I think the one of the best
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: things I've seen in Reek is just his mental toughness
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: to understand that when you get in situations like this
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: and you can even not do it or you can
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: attack it.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: And he's attacked it.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: And now he's making place week in week out, and
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: you want him on the field. That's all you can
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: ask from the player. And he's doing a good.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: Job with it. A fresh doing that, not playing week one,
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: kind of having a slow ramping.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: So it's kind of how good is he playing right now?
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: How much does he look like he's Yeah, the old
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: version of Chenner to see on like like tape, I'm
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: watching from the other team because I wasn't with him.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: But Jenner is playing at high level. He's his understanding
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: the game, his understanding of when his opportunities are how
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: he rushes off other players in the run game. He
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: sets good edges, he understands play action past. He's doing
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: a good job, and he's doing a good job leading
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: the guys him, Leo and Low.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: When you see a quarterback makes every throw, but I
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: guess what are the like the final ones in the
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: boxy check.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: He said, this is this is a tough concept.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: That they make the throws the anticipation. Yeah, like it's
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: the anticipation throws. The throws are like when someone's not
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: open but you know they're coming open.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: He makes those throws on a regular basis. He makes
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: deep board like accuracy throws.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: It's it's cool to watch and it makes you think, Okay,
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: we've got to be on top of our game, and
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: these are the kind of these are the games you
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: want to play. You know, you want to play every game,
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: but it's cool to see and you go against the
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: good like a team that is battling in you.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: It's a divisional game. You want to go get. It
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: makes similar a good green gay than everything he's understanding
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: the game. I think we've got a few green dot guys.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: HEJ is a great green dot guy, but I would
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: say anyone that can communicate at a high level and
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: keep poison in the moment of time gives you that
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: advantage of the ability to distribute information. You know, you've
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: got to think, what is the purpose of it is?
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: The purpose is to get to play to all the players,
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: make sure they're getting ready to play the hands and
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: understand the adjustments, be able to talk to the guys.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: Those are the things you're looking from a person to
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: do that in real time, and he does a good
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: job of it.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: Hej does a good job of it. It makes sense
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: for him to do it as it close to someone
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: like Kobe at the back end. Yeah.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Like I've been on teams like in Tiamos last
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: the safety had the green dot and sometimes at times
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: I think it's hard to get that information all the
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: way down to the front, you know, Like we've done
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: things in a different way in Dallas, so here he can.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: He does. Both of those guys do a good job
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: of talking backwards and talking forwards.
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: They can be worrying.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: His first sad as well. Yeah, he's every week.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: You see him growing, You see him like wanting more.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: He's an exciting player to coach. He he understands. I
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: think he understands the level of work you have to
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: put in to do the unique things that he does.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: Like he can he can do things in the game
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: at every level of the defense, and that that really
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: like you think that's really cool and you're like, that's exciting,
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: But that takes.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: A lot of work.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: That takes a lot of work to understand how to
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: play with technique on the first level, understand how to
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: have you all your keys and your wrong keys and
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: your past keys on the second level all the adjustments
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: and on the third level or your technique and understanding
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: your adjustments there. And he's putting in the work and
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: it's showing on Sundays. So he's just got to keep
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: going forwards, you know, keep keep your eyes focused on
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: what he's got to.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: Do and go.
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: How much does he trade it, like the traditional safety stoughts,
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: like if you different kvite with down or.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: Something like how much he trains with them.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he trains with them every day and then he
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: like they do little other stuff on the side with
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: different coaches and stuff like that.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: Thanks guys, that's a great weekend to me.
