  Speaker 1: your bye week? By the way, Oh, it was great.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Had an opportunity to clean some things up, you know,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: watching some film and getting these guys you know, understand
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: a little bit more some technique and some fundamental stuff,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: and putting a bunch of tapes together and just making
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: sure we're cleaning up some footworks and my disappoints some
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: hand stuff. And then an opportunity to enjoy Halloween with
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: my kids. And I was able to uh venture at least,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: uh you know, watch does some kids go around our
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: neighborhood and pick up some guys some candy. So it
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: was good to have some free time. From that standpoint,
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Let's get into some of these young guys. You said
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: you were working on the bye week, working on some
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: little things with this group here to bring back into
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: practice this week. Let's start with Josh Allen. You know
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: he's still a young guy. Obviously, it's the second year.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: A couple of sacks earlier in the year fell into
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: a couple of them. Really, how close is he? And
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: I don't think you have to keep him motivated. It
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: seems like he's pretty motivated himself. Yeah, johsh in a
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: great spot right now. You know, he he has motivated.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: He's motivated to have success, you know, but he also
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: understands what success it's. It's success not only from him
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: personal personally, but it's success as a group, you know.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: And and he's really become that leader, not only for
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: the whole defense and the team with being a captain,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: but you know, he's a leader for that room. So
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: he's done an unbelievable job of rallying our guys and understanding,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: you know, whether it's based downs and and knowing fundamentals
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: and technique how to stop the run that week or
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: whoever we're playing against, obviously Houston this coming a week,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: you know, and then obviously to the third down pass
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: rush plane and understanding, hey, we're gonna be working on,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: you know, whether it's some sort of a pass rush
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: game or we're working on some sort of a pressure
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: or blitz and what your role is in that pressure blitz.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: You know. But Josh's attitude has been really really good. Um.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: You know, he always comes into the day, like you said, JP,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: with a with a smile on his face, he's got
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: a great going personality. Um, he's a pleasure to be
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: around and our players love being around him and he
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: brings that fun energy every single day. And uh, it's
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: it's a pleasure for us, especially for me. You know,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: in the D line when things maybe aren't going so
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: well early in the season, is there a point where
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: you can see it click for a younger guy and
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: then once they come they come in bunches. Oh yeah,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: it's it's it's like that whole Oh yeah, I see that.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: You know. It's just like anything else when you're when
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: you're going and Russian and you're learning, you know, aiming
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: points and hands and you know, your hips and working
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: all those fundamentals as a pass rusher. You know, there's
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: some times where all of a sudden, that click comes
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: out where you're going. Yeah, now, I see that, you know.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: And and that's where Josh is early in his career,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: you know. And it's unfortunate, you know, from the year
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: this year, not having an off season, you know, with
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: with not only Josh but the rest of the younger group.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: You know that we have on this D line, you know,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: and and that that takes time, you know, pass Russian
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: is a group. Um, you're you're not working individual rushes,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: you're working together. You know, you've got four men typically
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: a pass rush group going against five players, sometimes six
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: depending on what they're doing from a protection standpoint, and
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: you gotta work in harmony. You know, it's not just
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: you know, yeah, it's individual battles me versus him, But
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: you've gotta work as a collective group. And we missed
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: some of that time. You know, we're we're working at it,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: we're making it up, we're watching film, we're on the grass,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: we're working together, you know, so we can get in
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: that harmony, you know, as a pass rush group, so
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: we can go and attack those quarterbacks and attack those
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: protections to have some success. Jason reprovets with US Jaguars
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: defensive line coach to that end. Caleban Chase on young
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: guy obviously a rookie this year, first round draft pick.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Where is his development in that regard and is he
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: a guy you think it really in the next few
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: weeks start to break out a little bit absolutely, you know,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: I think that's that goes for everybody. JP. I mean
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: you know that this development, I mean, if you put
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: it into perspective. You know, we missed four preseason games
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: you know where you know, and all of a sudden,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: now you're really into the early part of your schedule,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: if you really want to look at it that way,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: and miss his preseason camp, you know. So yeah, that
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: development stage is coming, you know. I mean, we're we're
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: working at it. You know. Um, they want to be
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: you know great, They want to make plays, you know.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: I know, you know people are on him about you know,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: that production and they and they know it. They want
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: to do it. They tell me every day. I tell
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: him every day. You know, we're striving to rule for um.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: You know there's the you know, that's the truth, that's
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: the reality of it. But you know, Casey, I'll tell
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: you the first thing though, JP, I know you've had
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: conversations you talk about a pleasure of a man. That
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: guy is a man. He is. He comes in every day.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: You know, he doesn't have really a huge chip on
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: his shoulder, but he knows he's a good player. He
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: knows he wants to be great, and he's a sponge,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: you know. He he he keeps his ears and eyes open.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: He wants to learn. He's learning from Josh he's learning
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: from watching, you know, and put films and tapes together
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: of are players that we compare them to in the league,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: you know, and and they analyze, you know, his first step,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: to his second step, to his hand placement, to where
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: he's got to work, to his inside foot, all of
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: that stuff, you know, takes time. It's it's progression and
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: uh um, you know, he's really striving to do it.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: He's working at it, you know, and it's gonna be
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: a pleasure here the next few weeks. We're really anticipating,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: you know, getting Josh and him on the edges and
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: working some few different different pass rush groups that we're
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: having out there to utilize our talents. From that standpoint,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: final thought with you here. Obviously, at the start of
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: the year, there were a couple of interior defensive line
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: players you thought you were gonna have in your group,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: but for one reason or another, they were not around.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: So the interior part of the D line has been
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: a little bit of a question mark early in the season,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: but the play off Devona Hamilton last week really stood out.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: It was his best game I think as a as
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: a rookie on that defensive line. That's a good sign
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: for the tirier of your defensive line. Big body guy.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: He's not fluffy, He's a big, strong guy and he
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: he played really well last week. Yeah, there's no doubt man.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: You you hit it right on the nail, the head
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: right there. I mean you talk about a three pound
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: guy that uh you know, he can run, he's physical.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: The guy loves contact, you know, he runs his feet
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: through it and he loves to make plays. You know,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: that's what you know. He comes from a really good program,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: you know college UM that had a lot of success
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: and winning. So he brings a lot of that to
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: our group. Also, you know where he he wants to win.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: He wants to win his one on one and he
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: wants to be a winning team. And that's that's the
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: real joy of of of de Ham. You know, we're
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: looking to continue to build on those blocks. You know
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: that tier um each game and getting everything situation, he's
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: seeing things. You know you always talk about from a
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: coach's perspective, how the game slows down a little bit
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: for him. You know, he can get a line is
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: not a lot of different moving parts before the snap's going.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: He's getting to his groove, he's seeing his aim and point.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: He's getting his foot work down and then obviously it's
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: paying dividends for him, you know, and paying dividends for us.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: The guy is becoming a real good force in the middle,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: and we got to continue him to be you know
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: and stopping the run. We know in this division that's
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: the number one thing we have to do, uh, you know,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: be stouting there be you know, a great contributor in
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: the run game, you know, and let our linebackers and
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: safeties get over the top and fill their gaps and
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: and where the responsibilities are in the in the run.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: And he's doing one heck of a job. Really good man,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: another good sponge. I'll tell you this group, JP, I
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: know you're asking a lot about these young guys. Uh.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Really good future with these men, and we're looking forward
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: for the remaining part of this season to keep ratcheting
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: it up every single week for these guys that continue
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: to get better and better. Great stuff is always MS.
