  Speaker 1: Thank coach.
• 0:01
  Speaker 2: What what are your how do you tempt your expectations
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: or all to your expectations for what you're going to
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: get out of trade on with that flood.
• 0:10
  Speaker 3: You know, I think he's been progressing. I see a
• 0:13
  Speaker 3: little bit more.
• 0:15
  Speaker 4: You know, he's just able to do a little bit
• 0:16
  Speaker 4: more right now than he was early on, you know,
• 0:20
  Speaker 4: And I know he practiced towards the end of the
• 0:22
  Speaker 4: week when we played Kansas City and you could see like,
• 0:26
  Speaker 4: all right, there's a little bit of a you know,
• 0:28
  Speaker 4: you gona be a little bit of a curve here
• 0:29
  Speaker 4: for him. And he's really done a good job progressing
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: along since that point. So it's really just trying to
• 0:37
  Speaker 4: use zim and in probably similar ways to the what
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: we did last week.
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: And then you know, a little by little we can
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: get him in there more and more as he gets
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: back to normal. But he's he's done a good job
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: out here so far.
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: A little bit more I think, just comfortable over over
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: of course last few days.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Thank you, thanks for doing this.
• 1:01
  Speaker 5: Obviously, Devin has made a lot of plays this year.
• 1:03
  Speaker 5: Won't have him this week. Just what do you like
• 1:05
  Speaker 5: about Ventrell and what's your confidence level with him.
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I have a ton of confidence in him.
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: I thought he had a great summer, a great spring,
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: and he's really just done a good job.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: He's a pros pro, you know, in terms of.
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: Staying ready and being aware of everything within the system
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: and the scheme. He's a physical dude, man. I know
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: you guys have seen him play over the years. He's
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: just really a tough, tough, well football football player for us.
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: So I'm excited for him. I'm excited for his opportunity,
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: you know, to get out there and play a bunch,
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: and he's done a good job up.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: To this point. He's done a good job out here
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: this week.
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: And Ben Trell also, I think he's got some really
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: good leadership qualities too. You know, the guys love playing
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: with him, and we all really enjoy coaching. We love
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: coaching him, So I'm excited for him. Thanks coach, you
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: bet We'll.
• 1:59
  Speaker 6: Go Ryan by Justin, Hey, camp, I got too for
• 2:04
  Speaker 6: you in the game the other day. You rush for
• 2:07
  Speaker 6: for most of the game and decide to dial something
• 2:09
  Speaker 6: up late in the game when you go against the
• 2:11
  Speaker 6: veteran quarterback. What is that mental gymnastics like for you
• 2:14
  Speaker 6: as a play caller? Whether to really send extra guys
• 2:17
  Speaker 6: or play rush for and play coverage.
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there's there's a you know, a fair amount that
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: goes into that. We probably pressure that may not even
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: have shown up a little bit more on some of
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: those early downs, whether we're firing other guys in there.
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: But I think there there is always a little bit
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: of a chess game with that with the guys who
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: really do a great job evaluating pre snap, you know,
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: and do some good pre snap indication stuff, which I
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: think the Rams do a great job.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: Of as well. But yeah, there's always a cat and
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: mouse with that for sure. Hopefully I'm answering your question.
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: No you are, no, Yeah, sorry, but but yeah, definitely
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: I thought the guys did a good job of that
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: is the game for regressed on we're getting pressure as
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: we were sending more pressure to help the pass rush
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: and stop some of the runs in there.
• 3:08
  Speaker 6: Second one for you, my Trek Brown has made some
• 3:09
  Speaker 6: plays on the ball against Seattle. What have you thought
• 3:12
  Speaker 6: of his play since he got back from injury.
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: You know, a few weeks ago, I was talking about
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: Bustler where I felt like he really had a good
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: spring for us. He got hurt the first day of
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: summer camp, which was unfortunate, but we had been excited
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: to get him back because he made a ton of
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: plays on the ball over the course in the summer
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: as well or the spring, i should say, And he's
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: kind of jumped.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: Right back in where he left off.
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: He's a really really competitive guy and he's I said
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: that about Bentroll, but he's approach pro too.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Man.
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: He really does all the extra off the field and
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: really has a great football has great awareness and a
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: great football IQ.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: So I'm really really happy with how he's playing right now.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: Thank you, Thanks Ryan Hey.
• 3:59
  Speaker 7: Coach Liam said yesterday that he kind of sat down
• 4:02
  Speaker 7: and watched film with you on the defensive Coaches, do
• 4:05
  Speaker 7: you think that familiarity with the Rams offense and all
• 4:09
  Speaker 7: that is that an actual thing or are we making
• 4:12
  Speaker 7: too much of it?
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: No?
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: I think anytime you've been somewhere and you've been in
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: a system, it's it's always a positive, you know, and
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: it's advantageous to be able to sit and communicate with
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: someone who's been in the trenches there and you know,
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: understands the system.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: And that's always something that as coaches, I think you.
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: Try to utilize as much as you can when you
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: have guys who have been in places and have a familiarity.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: So yeah, Coach is always super helpful with that.
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: And there is you know a lot of the systems,
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: there is some carryover, you know, because that is a
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: big tree where all these guys have come from, you know,
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: in different places and they all kind of branch out
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: and know each other a little bit.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: So that's always helpful.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: With Mark next, followed by Shipley.
• 4:57
  Speaker 8: Yeah, camp, I just wanted to ask you about Newsome
• 4:59
  Speaker 8: and his his progress.
• 5:01
  Speaker 6: What is what do you expect from week two with him?
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think anytime you just get to spend more time,
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: you know, there's more of a familiarity for Greg and
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: you know he's he's a really bright guy and he's
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: working hard at it. So for him, really we would
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: love to see his progression, you know, and obviously get
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: some more snaps in there, because I think he has
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: a much better field of it, obviously more than he
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: would have it would have after two days. But you know,
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: he's done a great job with that man, Like he's
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: been in there with Ron Milis, Julius Garry and Coach Perkins.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: He's been grinding and really with the other players.
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: The players have done a great job, and he's been
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: really really professional and doing a ton of work, So
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: I'm excited about getting him some more ops to.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: Coach.
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: Liam said yesterday that you know he's been telling the
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: defense don't trust Stafford's eyes. How do you kind of
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: coach that up, the way he kind of manipulates defenses
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: and the look passes, how do you kind of prepare
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: the defense for that?
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's hard to simulate that, but you
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: really have to have some stuff queued up so they
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: can really get a feel and an understanding for how
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: good he actually Isn't that whether that's TV copies so
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: they can literally see him doing that, or just other
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: instances or other angles of him doing it, because he
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: could be like Magic Johnson back there, I mean.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: Looking one way and dish it the other direction. So
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: he's as about as good as.
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: There's ever been doing that tremendous, you know, manipulating and
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: obviously identifying coverage of them, manipulating people, moving them with
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: his eyes and throwing the ball in the opposite direction,
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: which you know, it's super impressive to see.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: Thanks Katch, you.
• 6:43
  Speaker 6: Bet you played your first game without Breton Strange last week.
• 6:46
  Speaker 6: What kind of benefit was that? Just the discovery of
• 6:50
  Speaker 6: not having him and how you can adjust now going
• 6:52
  Speaker 6: into game too.
• 6:53
  Speaker 8: Without him, there was certainly an ingustment period, So it's
• 6:58
  Speaker 8: nice to have those reps back on and see what
• 7:01
  Speaker 8: you're missing.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: From a game standpoint. You have an idea of what
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: you're missing going into it just because of how.
• 7:05
  Speaker 8: Much value he provides in the run, game, in the past,
• 7:08
  Speaker 8: game play, pass, all those things that we talked about.
• 7:11
  Speaker 8: But it's certainly nice to get a feel for what
• 7:13
  Speaker 8: the rhythm between the tight ends is like actually playing
• 7:16
  Speaker 8: out there from series the series are down to down
• 7:19
  Speaker 8: to have Hunter in, Johnny in, those guys go back
• 7:21
  Speaker 8: and forth. You se equinment in there at times and
• 7:23
  Speaker 8: really feel what it's like to have those guys take
• 7:25
  Speaker 8: on that added responsibility.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: So we evaluate everything make.
• 7:28
  Speaker 8: The adjustments accordingly, and I think those guys have really
• 7:31
  Speaker 8: embraced the role, the added role really of taking on
• 7:34
  Speaker 8: those things that are missing now without Brandon.
• 7:37
  Speaker 6: The second one for me was Byron Young number zero
• 7:40
  Speaker 6: for the Rams. What makes them such an effective pass rusher.
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of things.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: The thing that makes really all of those guys upfront.
• 7:48
  Speaker 8: Such good pass rushers is they have such balanced attacks
• 7:52
  Speaker 8: rushing they can get off the ball, they can use speed,
• 7:54
  Speaker 8: they can use power, they're great with their hands, so
• 7:57
  Speaker 8: they really have a really wide toolbox and the moves
• 8:00
  Speaker 8: that can attack guys up front.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: Then you add in the twist games.
• 8:04
  Speaker 8: That they have off of that, whether they're rushing one
• 8:06
  Speaker 8: on one themselves or working with each other. They're well
• 8:09
  Speaker 8: coordinated in their rushes, so it makes it difficult to
• 8:13
  Speaker 8: manage in a one on one matchup. But then you
• 8:15
  Speaker 8: add in the layer of there's picks, there's twists and
• 8:18
  Speaker 8: mind at the different spots. That makes it difficult from
• 8:21
  Speaker 8: a team perspective of trying to attack them in protection right.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: Rap d Rock followed by Shipley.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: Hey, we am talking the other day about getting Travis
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: some more plays where he's more of the primary option.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: Is that a matter of like adding more stuff to
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: his plate or is it more just getting He's been
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: in those plays before, that's been part of the game plan.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: It just hasn't worked out. It's a little bit of
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: a balance.
• 8:54
  Speaker 8: There are certainly plays in the game plan that the
• 8:57
  Speaker 8: ball might not go to him where he was the
• 8:59
  Speaker 8: primary there are certain plays in the game plan that
• 9:02
  Speaker 8: you have design form that you don't get to or
• 9:04
  Speaker 8: aren't able to call because the right situation didn't arise
• 9:06
  Speaker 8: or the right coverage didn't dictate getting into that look.
• 9:09
  Speaker 8: So I think it's us really trying to narrow down
• 9:13
  Speaker 8: and find what are the things that he can do well,
• 9:16
  Speaker 8: put them in the game plan, and then try to
• 9:18
  Speaker 8: find a way to ensure that those opportunities arise throughout
• 9:20
  Speaker 8: the course of the game. We never want to force
• 9:22
  Speaker 8: somebody to the ball, but he's certainly a guy who
• 9:25
  Speaker 8: can make things happen when he has the ball in
• 9:26
  Speaker 8: his hand.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: So we try to be delivered every single.
• 9:29
  Speaker 8: Week about making sure guys are in the best possible
• 9:31
  Speaker 8: position for success, whether it's a skill guy or an
• 9:34
  Speaker 8: offensive lineman, and he's no different.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: So we will continue to work from now really probably
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: been through the.
• 9:38
  Speaker 8: End of the season, hopefully beyond, to try to make
• 9:41
  Speaker 8: sure that we have opportunities for him to touch the
• 9:43
  Speaker 8: ball and that we can dictate to defenses those opportunities
• 9:48
  Speaker 8: to make sure he's getting the touches where we.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: See to fit.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: How has the offensive line responded this week or is
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: that not something you're going to know until game dame.
• 10:00
  Speaker 9: There's certainly opportunity to respond within the week when you
• 10:02
  Speaker 9: just come in and evaluate the film and the accountability
• 10:06
  Speaker 9: that guys take watching the film, looking at their mistakes,
• 10:09
  Speaker 9: looking at the areas that they can improve, which has
• 10:12
  Speaker 9: been great to be able to get back to work
• 10:13
  Speaker 9: with those guys and see their attitude and effort.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: There's a nice balance between that as well, where you're trying.
• 10:20
  Speaker 8: To make those corrections and fix those mistakes and also
• 10:23
  Speaker 8: move on because you've got to start to repair for
• 10:26
  Speaker 8: a difficult opponent excuse me, upcoming with the RAMS. So
• 10:30
  Speaker 8: we try to address that as much as we can,
• 10:32
  Speaker 8: only really to learn from that and grow from that
• 10:35
  Speaker 8: rather than to dwell in the past. And the guys
• 10:37
  Speaker 8: have done a great job of trying to take those adjustments,
• 10:40
  Speaker 8: learn from those mistakes, learn from the things that came
• 10:42
  Speaker 8: up in that game, and then approve from it moving forward.
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: Thank you, Thanks man Hey Grant, thanks for doing this.
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: Obviously, Chris Shulou has been in Los Angeles for a
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: long time, coordinated the last few seasons. What are kind
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: of the trademarks of his defense and the different things
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: that they might throw at you.
• 11:01
  Speaker 8: You see the roots of the defense going back for
• 11:04
  Speaker 8: the different coordinators that he was with in his time
• 11:07
  Speaker 8: there in LA but really over the course of these
• 11:11
  Speaker 8: two years with them calling it, you've seen that defense
• 11:13
  Speaker 8: evolve and it's continued to evolve.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: Part of that's probably due to the personnel changes.
• 11:18
  Speaker 8: They've had older guys that he was with in previous
• 11:21
  Speaker 8: years when he wasn't the coordinator, and then they've gotten
• 11:23
  Speaker 8: younger guys and new guys come through there, and they've
• 11:25
  Speaker 8: done a phenomenal job of really.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Adapting and modifying that scheme and that defensive structure to
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: do what.
• 11:31
  Speaker 8: Those guys do well. And I think that's part of
• 11:34
  Speaker 8: the reason why they are such good defense. As he's
• 11:36
  Speaker 8: continued to evolve, continue to find new ways to attack offenses,
• 11:40
  Speaker 8: whether it's just in a coverage or front standpoint, or
• 11:43
  Speaker 8: whether it's a pressure standpoint.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: They see different things on third downs.
• 11:46
  Speaker 8: They've evolved even from the beginning of last year, at
• 11:48
  Speaker 8: the end of last year, from the beginning of this
• 11:49
  Speaker 8: year to this week, and I have no doubt they'll
• 11:52
  Speaker 8: have some new wrinkles and adjustments for us, and probably
• 11:54
  Speaker 8: will all the way throughout the entire season.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: So there's been some similarities that structure from where.
• 12:00
  Speaker 8: You see how guys are lining up, where you say
• 12:02
  Speaker 8: it's a big three four defense, but there's so many
• 12:05
  Speaker 8: differences when you look at the accumulation of all the
• 12:08
  Speaker 8: changes that he's made and they've made as a staff.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: Over these past two seasons.
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: Thanks great, Thanks Sean,
