  Speaker 1: I know how we don't pretty good?
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: How you doing good? So when you were in college,
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: you may remember playing against Levante.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: David did Yeah, Levante David same team as Jason Pierre Paul.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: They had another guy that was really good that went
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: to Texas and m played corner. That was a really
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: good team.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: So anything about him when he was let.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: He averaged like twenty tackles a game. So they went
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: to Nebraska kind of just always followed him, was always
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: super productive. But yeah, they had a really good team
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: that had a really good defense, a lot of good players.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: So when you played against a lot of those guys
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: in junior college, you kind of keep track of a
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: lot of them and just watch them as they go
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: through college. If you go through your week, you always
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: plan just as part of your routine for a backup.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: I mean, you always have a plan that you're working
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: just in case.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Or is this a different week for you.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: No, I mean we've we've been through this where we're
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: not sure of Trevor status going into a game. Uh
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: So we always kind of put together a plan that
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: I think fits both guys and a lot of things,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: just the way they play quarterback now they have different
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: skill sets, and so you may feature different things based
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: on the timing of the way they get the ball out,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: their movement skills, different things like that that maybe you
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: feature one way or the other. But I think this
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: is it's not as probably chaotic as people would think
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: of just you know, he's a quarterback. They both operate
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: really well from the pocket. The things we want to do,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: the things they see well, and then utilizing the guys
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: around them is a big part of it.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: The guys around them.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: You have to say anything this week, or do these
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: guys just.
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: Intrinsically know that they've got to make every block, make
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: every catch, they've got to help him? Is that they're
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: just pro as they get it, or you say no.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: No, there's not much else you need to say. I mean,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: we want to go out every single day, every single
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: week and operate each play to the best of our ability.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: So you don't need to put any more on anything
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: based on who's playing quarterback or wherever anybody is at
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: any point in time.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: Here, they can't go this week, what receivers are you
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: looking for a step up?
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: It's a rotation of everybody. I mean, really going into
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: the tight end room, the running back room of you know,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: each personnel grouping on each play is civic to you know,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: who we think does each thing well, Uh, you'll lean
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: on a little bit more of you know, ag Tim
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Elijah Parker. That kind of rotation of young guys stepping
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: into their role. Ideally getting Britten back healthy would help
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: us out. Luke has continued to come on in all
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: aspects of the game. So, uh, you know it's kind
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: of by committee off everybody stepping in and filling those roles.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: That that's kind of what you expect a week to
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: week in the NFL.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: Anyways, I know you said it's by committee, but Calvin
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: just is Are you guys going to need him to
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: be that best version of him the guy that you
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: guys see on tape. Yeah?
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, I mean Calvin and Evan obviously the mainstays that
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: have continued to stay healthy and be available to us.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: And we'll do everything we can to utilize our best
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: players all the time.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: Different combinations and different phases on the offensive line you
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: think has played a big part of the run game.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: How big that is affected to you just to continue
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: to along that line.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's a big part. I think having
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: comfort of who you're playing next to, how they communicate,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: how you guys play together is a factor. But at
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: the same time, we expect whoever is in there and
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: whatever combination of guys to produce, play well, communicate, effectively,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: do their job at a high level. We've got to
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: continue to put them in the best possible position to
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: do that.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: Even Trevor like a lot of the same things, and
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: he didn't think that would mean having to overhaul a
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: lot of stuff to you as a play caller and
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: just putting together game play. How hopeful is that to you?
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: Just if they, you know, kind of operate the same.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Time of way, that's a big deal. I mean, obviously
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: we spend a lot of time in that room talking
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: through the entire plan. So we've been doing this now
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: for two years of building plans, talking through concepts all
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: the time from training camp all that so good feel
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: for what they each like individually, but then both like collectively.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: And I think a lot of it's too conversation about
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: using the pieces around you of this guy does this
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: really well. I'm confident in this, how he runs this,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: how he sees this. So it's putting guys in that position,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: and then regardless of the quarterback, they both kind of
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: they think, very similar in that aspect, and I think
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: that's part of what he was.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: Getting at eighteen different teams starting multiple quarterbacks so far
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: this year. How rare is that to you? Just as
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: offensive guys seen around the league, so many backups have
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: to play.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's it's kind of just commonplace.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: You see the.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Speed and the power of these defensive guys, and guys
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: tend to get hurt. I mean, that's just how the
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: game goes, whatever it may be, so the next guy's
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: always ready. I don't know the numbers wise, if it's
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: more or less. Probably feels like a lot more in
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: terms of just starts, but I think you see a
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: lot of guys coming and play well as well.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: Calling card of the Todd Bowles defense.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Pressure, I mean, it's the same thing you see with
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: our defense. There's five on the line, there's five guys
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: pressuring a lot of times, and depending on where that
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: fifth guy's coming from or you know, the other two
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: coming from, guys dropping out. But you know, there's a
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: lot of loaded boxes that are really good against the run.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: This defense particularly has been really good for pretty long
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: time since coach Bowles has been there doing a good
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: job crowding the line, stopping the run, making things hard,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: identifying pressure, picking up pressure. Yeah, they do a really
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: good job. It's not an easy task.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: That it has the similarities to the defense you've seen
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: throughout training camp and during practice. Yeah, I think.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's certain elements that our guys aren't unfamiliar with,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: you know, the five man fronts and the different things
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: they get to. So there's some of that that I
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: do think helps, you know, that's that's one of the
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: things we always talk about in the off season of
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: we weren't going to see a three down front until
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: we played Pittsburgh week eight, week nine, So there's some
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: of it where you're dealing with training camp, off season
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: of all right, how's this going to help us for
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: the beginning of the season. Well, now, it's going to
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: help us as we get into these fronts now that
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: we want to play the three four and play the
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: five man fronts early on. Now it's hopefully, hopefully it
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: benefits what we've been seeing for a spring in a
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: camp or two springs and two camps.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: Now there have been some turnovers and scoring position that
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: you have played the offense all season long. How do
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: you get rid of those mistakes? I mean you're deep
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: into the season. Is they're a way to I guess,
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: re emphasize and trying to not have those show up
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: on the field.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: I mean, we feel like we're doing everything possible to
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: emphasize the importance of all security things are going to happen.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: We understand that. We also understand how important it is
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: when you're in scoring position to leave with points and
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: we want to end every drive with a kick. We've
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: tried to say it every way possible. I think our
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: guys understand the importance of it. But that's got to
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: show up, and we've got to continue to work to
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: protect the football and do a better job of that.
