  Speaker 1: the guys did a great job of ex cuton thought.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: The offensive line played really well. Our backs played played
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: one of their best games. And you know they played
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: they they played a full they completed the game when
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: the third quarter definitely didn't go away.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: Sean mcvayz obviously had a lot of success. One of
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: the things about his offense been his play calling that
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: you admire.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Uh there, he's a Super Bowl champion, you know. Uh
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: think he's a hell of a coach, you know, and
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: uh they got a really good team. Said that Backs
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: played their best game in one way. What's a little different,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Oh well, I think I just think you see some
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: of the practice reps showing up in the game. Just
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: it's very being very disciplined with with their their detail
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: and their patience. You know, there's been it's been some
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: games that we haven't been our best. That's the whole offense.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: And I'm just really proud of their effort and how
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: you know, they just kept kept pressing and uh, you know,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: we saw the results on Sunday and now it's a
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: whole another week. And obviously l a is a is
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: a is a big problem. There's really good defense, and uh,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: our guys have a big challenge ahead of him and Tim.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: What did you see when he came in with Tim?
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah only how much? What did you like about what
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: he did?
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: And then how much?
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: Well the week's prepped with Sam Hill.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Olu had a really good training camp, you know. Olu
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: is is a is a really good player and really
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: glad to have him come in uh and be our center.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: So we need all the reps that we get right
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: now with him just to get back up to speed.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: And uh, you know, I like the way he came
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: to the game. You know we did we did put
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: the ball in the ground, which is unacceptable, and that's
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: that's a quarterbacks and center, So we got to be
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: better there.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: You guys only had one game this year with no
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: turnovers and La punched the ball out quite a bit.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: How do you kind of change that this week?
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah? I think they're as good as anybody in the
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: NFL as far as force and fumbles, and we have
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: to be way better with our ball security, our practice
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: habits something we're definitely stressing the guys play where you.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Guys are backed up and Sam gets there, set the
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: balls off? Does that look like on a great shot?
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: How do you?
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: How do you?
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: I was got to give him better protection. I think
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: we had what we wanted as far as the play goes,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: but protection's gotta gotta step up in that situation. So
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: got to be better for Sam. So we can give
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: him a give him a plant throw in that situation.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: But what George willa you get the touchdown where he did?
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: But we're sort of led to put me a bit
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: of the game.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: I guess you know, George has been working his tail
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: off in practice and he's done a lot of really
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: good things. Probably should have given him opportunities earlier, just
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: more for things that he's earned the way he's practiced.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: What do you get what do you like about a
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: j bar, the the sneaks that you guys do, us
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: the name versus the quarterbacks.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: I just think you know, AJ is a leader on
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: our offense. He's a guy that we can all rely on.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: And if it's not gonna be the quarterback handling the ball,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: then AJ has done a heck of a job whether
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: he's a physical guy. So that's just something that started
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: in April and got a lot of practice reps of it. Yeah,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: maybe from a farlan.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: It's like, oh, it's you usually play snap it right,
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: Like what that's kind of a nuance, Yes, the ward
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: that that's.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Probably different from Yeah, I mean you never asked you
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: a tight end to worry about cadence or or getting
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: under center and taking a snap. So it's just a
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: lot of bank reps going back into the offseason offensive
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: line here in his cadence. How it's different than Sam's
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: and AJ has done a really good job of that.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: Rams play a lot of dime number four trying to
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: take away the explosives. You guys have been the most
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: explosive pass offense. Uncomfortable the game plan where you have
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: to just of the run man and meet them that way.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, they're whether they're in dime, nickel or base.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: I think they're a really good defense, really disciplined, really
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: well coached. They play hard, and uh, you know, every
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: game is a little different what they what the defense
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: will give you, and you got to be disciplined and
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: just really worry about your job and let the game
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: come to you.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Sam Donald talks us all the time about get the
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: ball out. Get the ball out as a turnover, get
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: the ball out? How did you drill that? How do
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: you emphasize that to you?
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah? I think it's just how uh, how you what
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: your process is in April, you know, just your progressions,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: the footwork for every play, the timing that you expect
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: for a ball to be thrown with every route, and
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: then just staying consistent with that type of coaching all
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: the way through the season. So it just goes back
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: to day one progressions and how you teach a play.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: How is he done in that regard being phenomenal when
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: he does the turnover.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Or loose the ball in a sack? Is it a
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: largely because.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Of thatte Uh? It's never never one thing, you know,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: it's protection. Uh, it's indecision and for digression. Maybe a
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: receiver doesn't run the route the right way. Maybe it's
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: a really terrible play call. Usually the last one.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: You seem like a lot of the runs success was
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: to the right side in this last game. And what
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: did you see from that side of the line, and
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: and some of your tight ends as well.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: I think it just played out that way, just uh,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: based on what the defense was doing. But we have
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: full confidence going either way.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: You guys like Jackson actility put to a handles.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Or like design carriage. They're just ballplayers, football players. You know,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: they've they've they've put it on film before and uh,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: just another another way to get them touches, you know.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
