• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Not having Marvin Marvin inscent in Jamal for parts of
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: the game. How much did that really impact the game
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: plan on what you guys could do? Um, it didn't actually, uh,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: you know, because we made we made the adjustments when
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: we knew Marvin wasn't able to go. We made the adjustments.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: You know. Uh, I had kenned Pryor up and then Tim.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Tim has been playing the last couple of weeks, and
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: you know, we just, um, we just stuck to our
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: game plan, you know. And uh offensive line, I mean
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: when you rush for two dred and forty plus yards
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: and and um, you know, Trevor was efficient in the
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: passing game, you know, score four touchdowns the whole thing.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: It didn't really change anything we didns I had a
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: carriage when you know, yeah, obviously the offense is bad game.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: You could take the ball especially game. What's your pattern
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: with what that for? Day? Or do you have any
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: directors you didn't like this week? This is this and
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: this has got to be better? Well number one? Yeah,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: number one. And I still take the fall um for
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: the whole thing, because I'm responsible for the team. So um, yeah,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: I mean you have conversations with the coordinators each week,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: you know, and and um, and then I have conversations
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: with the team and and um, you know, just they
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: everybody needs to know the importance of each game. Each
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: game is its own entity. And UM, you know there's
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: there's things that still are are kind of showing up
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: in these games that are that are sort of self inflicting.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: And you know, it just so happened this week was
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: third downs, you know, in the second half, just being
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: able to get off the field defensively, and you know,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: um two d p I s and a rough in
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: the past or kept kept drives alive, you know for them.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: So those are all things that um, you know, we
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: have to eliminate, we have to correct and and I'm
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: a big part of that obviously with you know, with
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: the coordinators and the team. It's been a month of October.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: What's your confidence level that you guys can get back
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: on the right track. I'm still I'm still confident in
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: this group, Um, coaches, players, you know, listen, it's when
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: you put the tape on, it's it's about us. It's
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: about what we do and sometimes about what we don't do.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: And you know, we've got it. We've got a group
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: of guys that that that want to get it fixed.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: And um, you know that's the encouraging part. And we
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: just take them one week at a time. And and um,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: you know, you know some people want them sooner than
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: than later. And uh, there's some patients involved. But um,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: everybody needs to know the importance of every play, every
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: you know, every snap, every series, practice games, the whole thing.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: That's just just the nature of what we do. How
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: much passive tempts yesterday? Would you say, when you're looking
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: at the tape and the lack of a pass rush
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: that you wanted, it's a function of them just getting
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: the ball out too quickly. Well, that that's the Yeah,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: it's it's it's two things. One, I think it's it's
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: the respect that they have for our pass rush number one,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: because we've got some guys that can rush the passer.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: And and number two is their game plan, you know.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: And and um, and then wanted to go tempo with it,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: you know. Um, and really it wasn't a full speed
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: tempo as much as it was just no huddle you know,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: at the at the line of scrimmage. And that's what
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: that's what can some sometimes frustrate a good pass rushes
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: by getting the ball out of your hand. And I
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: thought the Colts and Matt did it, did a nice
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: job of you know, doing you know, doing just that,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: you know. And um, but then there were times you know,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: your second long, third and third and long that we
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: have to get there, you know, and we have to
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: put pressure on on the quarterback. I think we only
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: had either seven hits or hurries you know, in the game,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: and um, you would like to see more, you know,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: with fifty eight pass attempts, no sacks obviously, but that
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: was just a product of him getting the ball out
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: of his hand. You know, you're all the time people
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: make the use the term halftime adjustments and that usually implies,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: you know, what, what adjustments are the coaches doing? But
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: what about the players? Do you feel the players in
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: this game adjusted well to what the Colts we're doing? Yeah,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: I do, you know, And and again I mean, it's
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: not gonna it's not going to change the fact that
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: he's still getting the ball out of his hand. He's
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: still getting it out, you know. And I think they
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: ran the ball, I think just to run the ball
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: at times, you know, just to see if they could.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: And we were able to sort of sty me the
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: run game, you know. But again it just comes down to,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: you know, when you get opportunities, um to get after
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: the opposing pastor you know, we've we've got to do
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: everything we can to do that. And it's no different
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: offensively if there's a third and eight and we gotta
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: do everything in our power to just stay on the
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: field right and complete the pass or make that run
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: and and it goes, it goes hand in hand, and
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: and we just got to be able to get it
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: all together. You know. I think that's where we're sort of,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: you know, um, a little bit out of whack right now,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: is we haven't been able to play complimentary football, you know, together,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: and that's that's what needs to that's what needs to
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: get fixed. Giants this week. Do you see some similarities
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: between the two teams? Young quarterback, new head coach there
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: in New York, they've just kind of been able to
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: win some of those close games. Yeah, you know, I
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: haven't studied them as much. I will this week, but
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: it seems that way, you know. Um, you know, Daniel
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Jones has been the league now for a few years
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: and and um, it seems like he's settling in doing
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: a nice job with with what they're doing up there.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: He's played a ton of football, Um, Coach Dable a
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: lot of respect for him and what he brings to
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: that team leadership, stability and all that. And and then
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: of course you know, we know win Martindale, I mean, decordinated.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: There is a legend you know as far as his
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: schemes and and and what he did in Baltimore. And
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: it's going to be a challenge for us. But you know,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: they're listen, They're they're making the plays, you know, when
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: when they need to, and and it's it's been effective
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: and they're winning the games because of it. And and
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: we just have to get our team to understand that
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: at some point, you know, we need we need somebody
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: to make a play, you know. And and that was
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: kind of my message to the team this morning, Um,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: and we just gotta be able to do that a
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: little bit better. That final scoring drive, you guys said,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: how important was that? You know, I just heard of
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: growth and confidence at the offense and Trevor to kind
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: of see that put that together. I think it was
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: a step. It was a step in the right direction. Um,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: you know, I think it was eighteen or nineteen plays,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: there's a penalty in there. But um, to be able
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: to do that in a time where we needed something,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: you know, in that second half. You know, we started
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: the second half with a great drive. You know, we
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: were moving the ball and that second series up until
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: the fourth and one, and then you know we were
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: able to end you know with that that long drive. Um,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: I think it just gives offen an offense confidence, the
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: fact that that when it when it's crunched time, you know,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: can they can do that? And and it just kind
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: of shows you shows us too, like this is what
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: we're capable of doing if we just do our jobs
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: and and focus on you know, one play at a time. Sure,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: right anyway, but what do you say that after I
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: guess just that short term memory learned from it, you know,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: go back and study the tape and just know that
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: whatever you put on tape, you know, the next week's
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: opponent may may try some similar things, you know, and
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: and uh, you just gotta get back into practice and
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: work on it and detail it and um, just trying
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: to get better. I don't I don't care if it's
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: a rookie or a veteran veteran player, you know, that's
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: what you gotta do. And you gotta have short term memory,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: you know, in this business and just move on like that,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Ryan and another woman that comes along with the lack
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: of they have a knack or not only get the
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: ball off just as they're getting hit, but they finds
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: somebody that He's always been that way. Um, you know,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: it's just a great sense that he has and and
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: and some of the great quarterbacks have that, you know,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: and they have the ability to find and great vision.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: You know, he's he's a big, tall guy too, so
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: he has a great vision down the field. And there
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: were a couple of times yesterday the ball found how
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: it found their receiver, uh, you know, with with our
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: guys kind of barreling down on him. Was it was
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: pretty impressive, you know. But again that's the that's the
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: trust that he has and his guys. It's the understanding
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: of of of what they're doing and and um, it
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: also comes from a lot of game experience and seeing
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: a lot of different things. You've mentioned preparation a few times.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Do you feel like the team has been preparing the
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: way they need to be for the games? I do,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: I do? I think this. Uh. I think this team
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: does a nice job. They're they're young, they're still learning though,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: you know, and it's still our job to to help
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: them prepare each week and make sure that they've they've
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: exhausted all their questions, they're studying their opponents and um,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: but yeah, I feel like that when we get when
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: we get to Saturday and obviously the game day, that
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: that uh you know, you see great communications still in
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: practice and and and the guys are you know, the
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: attention to detail and all of that. Now it just
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: has to has to carry over to the game. Was
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: surprised to find out that he's sorry yesterday he was
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: that more. I mean, it's not a big deal. But
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: but the the actual he probably would have known well, no,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: he he would have known on Saturday, but anyway, um
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: he uh, you know, it just sometimes it depends on
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: what the first play is going to be. You know,
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: who the personnel is going to be and stuff like that,
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: and you know, um, it's good to keep keep those
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: guys thinking. I guess you never know, he gotta be ready.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Production last week's pretty much, you know, I don't think
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: it's better than what we hope. I think It's exactly
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: what we had expected, you know, with him. UM what
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: he's kind of shown us this season and uh, you
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: know he's um he you know, you can see it.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: He's he's got speed to get around the edge. He's
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: he's you know, tough, physical, powerful between the between the tackles,
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: and um, just somebody that you just try to continue
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: to find ways to get the ball to you. Can
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: you talk a little bit about your confidence in you,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: Michael Hasty, I mean, uh, you got that whole He
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: was gone, Yeah, No, he you know, he's obviously he's
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: he's he's new to us since the end of the
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: end of camping and uh, you know, we we've we've
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: liked him as as a third back in these games
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: because he can help us out on special teams and um,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: and he's just shown the ability to you know, a
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: little burst in practice, the way he catches the ball,
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: the way he um kind of picks up on certain things.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: And we you know, we don't give him a ton
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: of of plays, but we do give him a few things,
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: you know, with his skill set. And it was great
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: to man that when that thing opened and he went
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: off tackle right, there was a it was well blocked well,
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: executed obviously, and he was able to show his speed
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: and um, I just told him when he came off
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: the field, just make sure that he's in the end
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: zone first. But where he drops the ball. Um but yeah,
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: oh yeah he was. He was across by about a foot.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: But uh no, is he gains more confidence to then
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: then we can we can give him a little bit more. Yeah,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: follow up, I mean, could you just talk about the
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: offensive line because there was literally five maybe six players
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: in that game were the whole that the running backs
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: hit was really really wide. Yeah, I thought the offensive
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: line blocked extremely well yesterday. You know, it was unfortunate
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: a couple of the sacks we just got edged quickly
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: and all that, But I think in the run game, uh,
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: these guys really it was one of the things we
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: kind of focused on with with the Colts is just
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: you know, blocking their defensive line and and they do
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: to two insight. Guys are really good, we know, ninety
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: ones and good players well on the edge, and and uh,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: if we could if we could somehow, you know, handle
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: their front, we felt like we could, we could do
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: some things in the running game. And it's a credit
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: to the offensive line for that thanks to exactly Gus
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: appreciate
