  Speaker 1: big point of emsis you know, every week you're trying
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: to get points on the board early and uh not
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: something that we've done as of late. This is a
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: one of the best defenses in the league. They're gonna
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: make it hard for us.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: How any different things could you possibly change?
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Because coach said, we will evaluate what the process is,
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: how many things could possibly change for you or that
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: we're everything you're changing throughout the year. You know, you're
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: always trying to make quarter turn adjustments and improve check
• 0:46

  Speaker 1: uh losing. You know, having five hundred yards or having

  Speaker 1: one hundred yards, it's never gonna change. You're always trying
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: to trying to get better, appreciate you need to get
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: a lot more ball blast. Two weeks in the passing nation.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Have you seen that grow for him as he's been early, Yeah,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: I just see him growing in confidence with our with
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: our quarterback. They got time on task and she's winning
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: his routs. He's doing a good job of getting open.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Sam's are funny just the same time. In a large picture,
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: you have the seconds spending, cunning down SAT time totally
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: respects through the.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Market control and just take it a game at a time,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: in a series at a time, and try to be
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: successful in that series, and try not to think too
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: much big picture, you know, just try to see the
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: down right in front of your face and go from there.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: It's just that's the nature of our league.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: Since the Rams game, Sam's only turned the ball over
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: two times, had to put the ball in harms way
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: that much. Also hasn't been quite as explosive. How do
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: you kind of guide him and make sure he's still
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: going after it, but make sure he's predicting the well.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: I think he's done a phenomenal job, you know, and
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: the explosives will come. They come in bunches, just like
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: interceptions coming bunches. So I think Sam's Sam's doing a
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: phenomenal job and making really good decisions with the football,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: and uh, you know, we're just we're just keep growing.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: You know, every every game is gonna be so different.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: You're not gonna it's not gonna be the same. They're
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: gonna take away the things you do well and you
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: got to find, you know, new ways to move the
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: ball down the field.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: Well, you're a.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Scripting plays earlier in the game, Like calling the scripting plays,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: how much of the priority is like you're on a
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: fact fighting mission trying to figure out what the defense
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: is going to.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: Do versus calling the optimal play for that down in
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: distance in situation.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: You know, I think there's a lot that goes into
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: that and I don't Yeah, trying not to make it
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: too too complicated. You know, you're trying to find the
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: best player to move the football down the field. Every
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: week you're looking at you're looking at self scout, You're
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: looking at what the opponent does. You're looking at uh,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: maybe trying to put some different things on tape. And
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: if you overthink that, you go three and out and
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: you give the ball back to the you know, back
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: to the other team. So I gotta be better getting
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: our guys ready to go.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: How much How have you said on how many players
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: your script offense have changed.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Every good time. Uh, you know, we always we always
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: talk about openers somewhere somewhere between ten and twenty plays,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: you know, we uh, we talked about openers and and
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: all the situations that we're going to see with the first,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: second down, third down, fourth down, red zone, short yardage,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: goal line. So you know, every week you're trying to
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: give your players a pretty good idea of what we're
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: going into the game with.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: It's your first time being OC this latest season for
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: a team that's going for a number one overall. See,
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: have you noticed any differences in terms of how defenses
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: are you know, adjusting to your offense later in the season. Absolutely, yeah, absolutely,
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Every every week, you know, you're you're seeing plenty of
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: unscouted things, you know, playing some really good defensive coordinators
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: that want to.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Take away what you do best. So that's a really
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: fun part of this game in this league is trying
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: to make those adjustments and getting your guys in position
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: to be successful.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: The last five weeks you get for sevage rushdown's going
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: on in the game.
• 4:00

• 4:02
  Speaker 2: Over the last month Partically giving good problems.
• 4:06

• 4:09
  Speaker 1: I see quite a few things, you know, whether you know,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: not being successful in your red zone third downs, of
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: not being productive running the football, not calling good enough
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: plays and getting your guys in positions to be successful.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: So it's a it's a group effort, it's a it's
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: a a group failure that we got to improve on.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: How do you play about what a game time?
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: I think it's got to improved pretty quick.
• 4:32
