  Speaker 1: How do you do?
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: What was your first exposure to Thanksgiving?
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: This is my first Thanksgiving as a US citizen, So yeah,
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: so that's that's.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: A big thing. I can't remember, but I have been
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: like a lot of time. I think I played like.
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: Five times on Thanksgiving, so like three with Dallas, two
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: of Atlanta. So like probably my first thing is that
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: it's football.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: I mean, like the actual holiday, Like one of you had.
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: A Thanksgivings oh dinner, I would say probably not long ago.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: I'd say probably about five years ago.
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: Not that long ago now, just the words because when
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: I've been living here, I've always been working in football
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: and kind of it's just hectic. So yeah, so tomorrow
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: I have one now, so it would be cool.
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: The Turkey's Christmas in Brittany. It is Christmas, right is?
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: It definitely is just on the football. McDonald talked about
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: Byron Murphy the second level. What are you seeing besides
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: him attacking the ball? What are more reps doing to
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: Byron Murphy's play.
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: I think it's not just more reps, it's more experience,
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: you know, Like as as he gets into this, he's
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: getting more confident. He's got some really good vets to
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: watch and understand how you prepare for a week. And
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: the outcome of that I see is that he plays
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: the game freer right now and it allows him to
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: kind of showcase a lot more of his talents that
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: he has. But he kind of he put himself in
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: a box sometimes last year because he touches to do
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: everything right. Now he's kind of out of that and
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: he's he's playing a bit free and he's enjoying football.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: You can see it on.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Rushing past rushdowns more and more now than obviously last year.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: The numbers say.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: He's playing, he's he's on the right to rush, you know,
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: and he does a huge job to allow us to
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: rush because the way he plays the run.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: You would have said that there.
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: Is a meeting where you had everyone in the room
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: that had.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Had at least half a sacress. You raise your hand,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: and how many different guys there were. I guess what
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: kind of message we're trying to get across.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: How important it is to understand how you have to
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: do your job when you rush the passer. Like Mike
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: says it all the time, that it's like a twelve
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: or one pass rush. Everyone is a rusher, everyone is
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: a dropper.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: In this defense and.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: To do that you have to have it comes with responsibility.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: I think, like you have to you can't go outside.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: Like pass rushing is a little gray because you you
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: follow lines, but you create space. You you are attacking somebody,
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: so you have to play off each other and that
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: understanding of doing that down after down and doing it
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: as a unit. That's kind of what we were talking about.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: I think it was after the Arizona game at home.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: Yes, Dictor Byron, the stop he made on fourth and
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: one where yeah, he picks on three blockers different very did.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: But yeah, I think like it starts with like when
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: we're talking about confidence. If you watch he was moving
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: on that play and the intent that you move with.
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: He allowed him to take off another blocker, you know,
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: like the guy pulled and he hit, he hit his guy,
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: and then he he created some penetration vertically and he
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: took off another guy and then the guy came back
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: down on him and they just ran into him.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: And kind of.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: You talk about fourth, like those short yardage situations, for
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: those guys, they have to play in a taker shop
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: mentality whilst doing their job because the ball, the line
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: of scrimmage has to move backwards as they're going to
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: get the yardage they need to follow. So when he's
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: moving with that intent and he's moving and understanding what's coming,
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: and he's using all the information that's given to him,
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: he can execute like that and that that that's that's
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: what the cool thing is is like his talent is
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: through the roof. Now if you add the professionalism and
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: the intent behind everything, suddenly you start getting the player
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: that we're seeing.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: So you want those guys to kind of take a
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: gamble in someway.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: No, it's not take a gamble.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: It's understanding that like CP does a great job of
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: getting these guys ready and short yardage, and it's understanding
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: what your job is and there's certain techniques on how
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: you do things in those situations.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Going back to the number of guys who have a
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: sack or a half sacked, is this the whitest.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Distribution you had on the defense or is this.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: What you're always trying to get.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: On your defenses.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: No, it's kind of that's where like I think, I
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: like working with Mike is like I'm learning, you know
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: that I've come from a place where like a high
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: percentage of the sacks come from the front, and I
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: still do you know, like, but everyone everyone is involved,
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: everyone is understanding, and like over the last year, I've
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: really kind of changed some of the way I think
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: as well, because it brings the whole defense along with it,
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: and it is it was cool enough.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: Everybody to kind of buy into that kind of team
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: white philosophy and everybody's gonna yeah.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: I think I think that that that comes from the top,
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: that comes from like the culture that Mike's creating here.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: I think you're doing everything you can to win the game.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: And if you can do those things and you see
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: the outcome, then you get more and more buying and
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: more understand of why we do things, on what you're doing,
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: and and when you get set up for success, it
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: helps you and the guys are doing that.
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: How important is to get that buy in early in
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: the program and I mean during the off season, because
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: you're not getting to buy in in the Arizona game, right,
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: you had that early, So anything you guys did to
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: get the players you understand that or that's just part
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: of the growth mentality.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: That's a good question.
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: Like I think when you get to that, like I
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: think Mike does a great job of sharing his vision
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: on a daily basis and.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Understanding where we're going.
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: You know, I think when you start like that, and
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: then on top of that, if you just be yourself
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: every day and you're the same person and you're asking
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: the same and you're pushing people the same way the
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: in I feel in this league and in other leagues
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: in football coached in that people want to want to
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: go in the same direction, they want to come together.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: And then when you add the connection and the things
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: that are going on here, you've got a chance to
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: all be driving in the same direction and we feel
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: those things here.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: What was your impression of seeing quadrigs af there today?
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was cool. That's the first time I met.
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: I spoke to him when we first got here and
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: then obviously went to Tennessee. But it was cool to
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: meet him and kind of get him in and building.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: I'm excited for him.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: What's peaceable playing. I think you could get out there Sunday.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: I think you've got to get into the system.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: He's come from a similar system, But I think as
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: he comes what's feasible for him is that his experience,
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: his understanding of playing championship level defense, his understanding things
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: doing the right way and working with the guys and
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: integrating himself.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Will well, that will all come. How do you feel like, Yeah,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: he done a great job.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: I thought, like, like you talk about those next men up,
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: you've asked me about those things he came in. I
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: thought he tackled well. I thought he communicated on an
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: elite level. I think you just got He's just he
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: was ready for that opportunity, and he done a great.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Job given all that you guys actually do.
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: What's is Nicki Moore's learning style?
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Like does he get it like on the board or
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: does he have to go out there and see it and.
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: Do it first?
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: I think he gets it on the board, but when
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: you put it into like practical terms, you have to
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: ask him. But like I feel that the more he
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: walks through things, the more he gets the looks, the
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: more he starts understanding because he sees the game from
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: a lot of different places. Like normally one player might
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: see the game from two different places. He sees it
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: from multiple and and when he sees the look he's
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: very good at kind of like I see the pitch,
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: I see.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: What you want me to do.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: Okay, I'll get it, you know, Like so as you
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: go through it, you kind of we're learning each other.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: I feel with.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: The injuries you have there in the back end, can
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: he play some deep safety if.
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: You need them.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you can play wherever he wants.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: He does a pretty good job of that.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: He sounds like Bells showed you enough though that you
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: could keep even worry what he's been doing and played
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: bell in the back if we had to.
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: Play, yeah, I think like as as the week shakes out,
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: we'll go through that.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: But I think like.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: De Bell done a great job. I think all the
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: guys are when that. That's the exciting thing about these
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: guys is like I think they truly aren't are trying
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: to push and grow to when they get their up
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: that they've seen other guys like Tie, like Drake, like
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: Mike Mole Peeley, these guys do it and then okay,
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: like when you get a chance here you like Job.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: I think Job's one of the kind of like not
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: post the boys, but he's.
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: Like done it, you know, and when you see those things,
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: it gives you the mental reality is like I need
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: to learn my stuff because when I get that up,
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: if I do it right, I'm gonna get seen.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: I think you guys had like forty two pressures or
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: depending on the metric you use, but on Sunday and
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: he still had some sacks.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: But maybe I.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: Mean cam Ord is really hard to just kind of
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: get down. Is it was just kind of a matter
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: if he was making a lot of players at times.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think like like I think it's the things
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: we talked.
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: About at the start, Like that's where our rush can improve.
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: That getting on the same page in those situations when
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: it gets into like those passing situations, communicate and understand
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: how to play off each other when there's a big
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: rotation of players, sometimes you're not always in with the
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: same people. So just learning to play off each other,
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: I think converting them into sacks a lot of I
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: would say I had like some of that pressure was
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: off the coverage.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: The coverage guys.
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: Done a great job, you know, and may allowed the
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: d line to move them off the spot.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: Thank you have a good weekend.
