• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Because what what makes Brockauers sort of staying out what
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: what's made him so good this year?
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: I guess he's a really good athlete, great body position
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: in space, and he has a knack of of without
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: you know, putting his body on a receiver on a
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: dB when you know, when he's the receiver and getting
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: it open and they do a good job getting in
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: the ball. Really talented player and all, you know, and
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: a good block or two, like he gets in what
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: and he'll turn the guy and then they'll get some
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: runs behind him. So yeah, he's he's uh, he's playing
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: really good football.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Are you surprise? Or maybe surprises is not the right word,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: but just how rare is it to see a title
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: come to the FL have that much success during his
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: first year?
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: You know it? It isn't it isn't You know the game,
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: you know, it's a lot more passing today than than
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: it's been in the past, and you know, particularly in the
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: last ten years, you know, so for them to bring
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: him in and and target him as many targets as
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: he has and and the success that they had and
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: keep throwing him the ball, so you know, it makes
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: a lot of sense.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: You spent a lot of time with Desmond last year.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: I know it's still up in the air whether he
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: or AG will start. But if it is Desmond, what
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: does he really bring to the table.
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: You guys have to account for us.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: We have to do a great job of keeping him
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: in the pocket, like we have to keep him in
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: because once he gets out and he starts creating, then
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: that's when the plays happen. You know, We've got to
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: make him stay in there, go through his progression in
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: the coverage, change the coverages up on him, you know,
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: show him one thing and do something else. But the
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: biggest thing keep him in the pocket is huge gene.
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: All right, all good question. Okay, you like all over
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: what he said. How are you like, how do you
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: kind of game planner scout when you have two different quarterbacks.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: Well, it is like we're preparing for what we saw
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: with Ritter, you know the other night, which was a
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: lot of gun and gun run game and everything. And
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: then if he doesn't go, then we better get ready
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: for under center and play action and things like that.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: And so.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: There's two it's not two different offenses, it's just how
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: the quarterbright quarterback operates and that's kind of The biggest
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: thing is, look, we know Boers that they're going to
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: target him with both guys, so we have to take
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: him away. We've got to do a really good job
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: in them and then keeping them in the pocket with Ritter,
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: and then in the play action game, like you know,
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: we've just got to do a good job of playing
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: shell defense and manipulating our coverages when they do get
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: under center and throw a two man three man routes
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: down the field. And so that's what kind of you know,
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: always focusing on us. We'll have some different calls if
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: the different quarterbacks get in the game. That's where we'll
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: manage it and not just you know, the guys will know,
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: the players will know, but we'll have not two different
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: game plans, but just some different calls that will make
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: when each guy's in the game. So that's how we'll
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: manage this game.
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: For the incredibly wide despair he between the first half
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: and the second half, particularly with regard to the Vale Adams,
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: how you know, it's just you know, nothing what happened then,
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: you know, exploding in the second half.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: It's a good point. It is a couple of things
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: that you know, we were doing well in the first half.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: It didn't show up in the second half. Critical situation.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Cut a guy free that you know, make a better
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: call there, put a guy in the you know, play
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: cover to certain situations. You know, that's really what happened,
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: you know, And and uh, guy's a good player. He
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: got opened a couple of times, and you know, wish
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: we could have called a couple of better things and
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: you know, played a little bit better. But you know,
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: we didn't do anything differently on defense from the first
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: half of the second half. It was the same calls. You know,
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: we really just tried to stay course. And again it's
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: always about us and how we do and we went
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: into a halftime and hey, guys, let's finish this thing,
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: and and uh, you know it's it's he had a
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: really good second half and I hate to see that.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: You know, on the bomb up and then that you know,
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: leading and wide open on the on the other on
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: the set up the game when he to me that
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: what what.
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: Happened there is just a total communication breakdown.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, just again not going to get into
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: the exact you know everything, But again, we could make
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: a better call there and not put it on the
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: player to you know, be in that situation and put
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: those guys in cover too, and pass all the mesh
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: routes off and things like that, you know. So and
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: then again, you know a couple of times, you know,
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: just again getting a little bit more calling the blitz
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: up the middle, getting some more pressure, get the ball
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: out of Roger's hands so he doesn't find him as easy.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: You know, a couple of those times that could have
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: helped you. You know, so again everything comes back on
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: me and and we've got to put the guys in
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: a better situation, make those plays.
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: I know you guys did the rotation, but was that
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: a change that you guys are making or what was that?
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: No, he's he's when you look at his body, the
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: work all over the season, you know, he's played pretty well.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: So it's not it's not one thing that one guy
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: is doing better than the other thing. It's it's you know,
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: he was in the game and the first half of
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: the way it was and you know, he was playing
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: pretty good, so we just kept him out there and
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: kept him going, you know, And that's really really what
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: it is. Mentioned Prince as a guy, and he wants
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: to see more from these the last few weeks just
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: how how do you think he would do in the
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: rotation and and what would you like to see from
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: sticky coverage. You know, with a good guy who's he's
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: got great speed, he plays good technique and fundamentals, it's
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: just getting him some reps and get him out there
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: and just playing, getting in the flow of the game,
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: playing football, and just really what we want to see
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: is him just doing this job like trade. Just get
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: out there, just do your job the best of your
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: ability and let it all happen. So okay, to play again,
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Yes season, we expect for sure. Yeah, okay, thanks guys,
