• 0:00
  Speaker 1: How are we doing?
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: We can start with Demetrius followed by John Shipley.
• 0:08
  Speaker 3: Hey, Chris, I appreciate you doing this and I hope
• 0:11
  Speaker 3: you guys are staying safe just with the offense and
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: what's happened over the last few weeks. At what point
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: maybe do you guys just get back to the basics
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: or what do you sort of have to do to
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: fix it?
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 0:26
  Speaker 4: I think it just comes down to making place to
• 0:29
  Speaker 4: establish some consistency.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: I mean that's been the biggest thing.
• 0:31
  Speaker 4: We've had opportunities there we haven't made at certain times
• 0:35
  Speaker 4: and then it just kind of feels on top of
• 0:36
  Speaker 4: a little bit. And starting fast is a big thing
• 0:38
  Speaker 4: for us. You know, we're able to score I think
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: the second drive of the game, but going three and
• 0:43
  Speaker 4: out to start, you know, we got to be able
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: to be there for our defense when our defense needs
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: us in a situation like it was the other night.
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: But we got to produce earlier in games so they're
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: not getting behind the game situation as it goes.
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: Is there anything that you guys might have to change
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: in how you go about operating the offense or do
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: you just kind of have to power through it.
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: I mean, we'll look at anything and everything, So we're
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: always tweaking certain things that we think are gonna benefit us.
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: We're not just going to change to change, but we're
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: gonna certainly look at everything we do. Are we good
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: at this? We're not good at this? Why are we
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: not good at this? What's gonna give us an advantage
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: against this defense and put our best players in position
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: to make play?
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: So we're always evaluating that.
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: Yet and then just just last thing. I know it's
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: a short week, but is it any help that you know,
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: you guys know this this opponent very well, you know
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: the Texas our divisional opponent.
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it always helps when you've you've played an opponent,
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: especially twice in the past year, and has the same
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: defensive coordinator, play caller. That that certainly helps you on
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: short weeks. But you know, we know we have our
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: hands full with a very good defense.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: Thank you, John Shipley, followed by.
• 1:47
  Speaker 5: Mark Long say, press thanks for doing this. You know,
• 1:50
  Speaker 5: I hope he has all staying safe when it comes to,
• 1:54
  Speaker 5: you know, the opening drives that you guys have had.
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: He has been a little maybe put a finger on
• 2:00
  Speaker 5: maybe there has been kind of a lack of success
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: with just starting fast and extending drives when you guys
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: get the ball.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Uh, you know, just taking advantage of every situation. I
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: think every situation is very different as well.
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: You know, Miami, I think we kind of busted an
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: operation in terms of a movement play on the first
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: play of the game, put us in second sixteen or
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: something to start the game. The other night, I think
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: I'm the second down. We had to drop that puts
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: it in third manageable and end up in a third down.
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: So there's every situation is very different. So I don't
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: know if I'd necessarily say it's one thing. If if
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: we were able to do that and put our finger
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: on it, we would certainly solve that right away. But
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: you know, we look at each play as its own
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: entity and try to figure out what went wrong or
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: right on that plan and how do we repeat that
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: or correct it as we move forward.
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: And the last one for me just I mean, what
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: are you seeing from Will Anderson and the Neil Hunter, Like,
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: just what kind of challenge they bring? Obviously they're both
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: great individual players, but seeing them as a do what
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: kind of challenge is that?
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: Well, I mean, obviously you have to commit as many
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: resources as possible to keep edges clean and then when
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: somebody when a team like this has edges, both edges
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: are dangerous threats.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: In terms of pass rush potential.
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: You have to pick your spots with basically, when are
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: you gonna leave somebody one on one? How are you
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: going to provide help? What are you going to look
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: like for certain aspects of things. Then you know Derek
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: Barnett and Jermy Hughes or they're great pass rushers behind
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: them as well. It's spent a lot of time with
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: Derek Barnette watching him play. They obviously acquired him after
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: we were done playing them last year, but he's a
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: very good player as well. So we have our hands
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: full again with it, which is no different with a
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: lot of these edge teams.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: The teams have on the edges like this, Thanks Press, Mark.
• 3:31
  Speaker 6: Long, Hey Bress.
• 3:33
  Speaker 7: When you're when you're struggling early with you know with
• 3:38
  Speaker 7: the ball, do you change up your script? Do you
• 3:40
  Speaker 7: do something different? Do you you know, rip up kind
• 3:43
  Speaker 7: of what hasn't worked and go in a different direction.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: Again, I think each game is different in terms of
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: how you approach. So there's certain approaches and the way
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: we want to attack a defense early or the way
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: we think the game is going to go in terms
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: of do we need to be aggressive, do we need
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: to establish the run?
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Do you know, is there.
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: Certain elements that we want to attack or just I
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: guess expand upon with our own offense. And then as
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: a game goes on, there's certainly adjustments. Are they playing
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: us uh and more single high, more middle open, or
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: they playing more man? Is there pressure more? So you
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: you build your game script or your call sheet. I
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: guess we particularly build our game plan to where we
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: know where the adjustments are. If they're gonna come out
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: and start playing five man fronts, this is the menu
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: we get to. If they're gonna start playing more man,
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: here's the players we identify within the game. So there's
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: certain that's kind of the cat and mouse that goes
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: along with each game as well.
• 4:35
  Speaker 7: And obviously there's a lot going wrong offensively, and it's
• 4:41
  Speaker 7: it's hard to say, you know, this will fix it,
• 4:43
  Speaker 7: But in your mind, is there like one thing that
• 4:45
  Speaker 7: you think would be the key to maybe getting you
• 4:47
  Speaker 7: guys back on track. I think the players we're talking
• 4:49
  Speaker 7: you say about, you know, just it's got to it's
• 4:51
  Speaker 7: got to come from the best. You know, it's got
• 4:53
  Speaker 7: to come from the stars. Our better players have got
• 4:56
  Speaker 7: to do what they're supposed to do, right.
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, your best players have to play their best. I
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: mean it's no different. That's the way it's always been.
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: And then you got to make the plays that come
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: to you. So if we can consistently do the right
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: thing down and down out across the board, all eleven
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: plus coaching staff, the communication process, everything, if we can
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: just do the little things well, that's gonna lead to
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: the big plays happening throughout the course. And that's just
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: that's the expectation. I think that's the obvious two. But
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: consistently doing those little things right are going to lead
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: to over the course of a game, putting up points,
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: maximizing your opportunities, converting third downs, things like that.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: That'll that'll add your success.
• 5:37
  Speaker 6: We'll go back to John Shipley, Chris, just when it
• 5:41
  Speaker 6: comes to Trevor, you get a sense, maybe not necessarily pressing,
• 5:45
  Speaker 6: but there are times where it feels like maybe you're
• 5:47
  Speaker 6: trying to get everything back at once, you know, especially
• 5:49
  Speaker 6: the Monday night game.
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: And if so, how do you kind of rain a
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: quarterback in and try to get in and remember, you know,
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: take what's there. It's a long game, et cetera.
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: I mean, I think if when you say something like that,
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: you're referring to holding the ball and trying to look
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: for a bigger play, that I'm not sure if that's
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: necessari it's gone on.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: I think it's just doing the right thing consistently.
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: Whether it's you know, first play of the game, first
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: third down of the game, first opportunity in the redsident,
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: what we're looking for, what we're trying to take advantage of,
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: what's our drop look like, what's the cadence we're using
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: on certain things. Just all those things and then everybody
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: around them has to play well as well. We have
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: to be able to count on if you're supposed to
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: be at six yards, you're at six yards, you're not
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: at four yards, you're not at eight yards. If you're
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: supposed to have this particular launch point on a certain play,
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: so the line knows where you're at, the back knows
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: where you you.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Got to be there.
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: It's just all those little things over and over, and
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: you know, I think it's not one consistent factor that's
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: been going on for us, but it's you know, everybody's
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: kind of taking their turn at the wrong time.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: It seems like to have a lapse in the way
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: we play.
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: But you know, you see little stretches of it, but
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: not consistently enough for us to put enough points on
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: the board to win games.
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: And it'd be easier the correct if it was just
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: the one thing, or maybe even one player right.
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: Right, if it was just clear and obvious that this
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: is our one issue right here, then we would certainly
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: address that as quickly as possible.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: But again, I don't think it's anything major. I don't
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: think it's anything we can't correct.
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: So we've tried to make sure we put the right
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: amount of attention to that to get it corrected in
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: practice so that we can count on everybody to be
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: able to do their job at the right time and then,
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: like I said, consistently make plays when they come your way.
• 7:23
  Speaker 6: Thanks Chris, yep, Demetrious.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I just wanted to go back to something you
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: said about, you know, the all players sort of making
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: these these little mistakes at the wrong time. How do
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: you you know, in terms of fixing something like that,
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: you know, being at the right depth or just making
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: the simple basic you know, adjustments how do you fix
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: something like that and why do you think it's occurring?
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: You know, you guys are in year three of your offense.
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, that's that's something we always look into
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: of why does certain things happen? And sometimes it's like
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: you guys are kind of getting as a game goes on,
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: guys are looking to make a play. So maybe I
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: feel like if I go a little quicker on this one,
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: I'll get the ball a little quicker. Well, we're counting
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: on you to be at this depth or you know,
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: this has been going on throughout the course. Camera and
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: jumps out a guy and now they got a different
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: rush on. Whatever it may be. There's just certain things
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: that come up. But I think it is to an extent,
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: everybody just trying to make a play, where it's really
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: just do your job at the highest possible level and
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: let's see what happens when we get eleven guys doing
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: the exact same thing at the right time. So it's
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: nothing we feel like we can't correct, but it's got
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: to happen. There's certainly an urgency to make things happen
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: as well.
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: Last one, Brian Sexton, is.
• 8:50
  Speaker 8: It Derek can you hear me, got you okay? You
• 8:53
  Speaker 8: know the other night, everything the Bills did looked easy,
• 8:58
  Speaker 8: and conversely, it looked like everything you were trying to
• 9:01
  Speaker 8: do was hard. So from that perspective, what do you
• 9:04
  Speaker 8: have confidence in right now? I mean, what do you
• 9:07
  Speaker 8: go into Houston with going I know we can do this.
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: I mean, I think again, each game is a little
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: different and the way you play as an offense. But
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: we again, we don't feel like there's anything that we
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: have done that we just cannot correct or cannot get
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: fixed as we move forward.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: We do believe that if we.
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: Can just maintain consistency, do the little things right throughout
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: the course of the game, the good things will happen.
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: You know, we're able to put it together in spurts,
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: but you got to start the game fast, getting yourself behind.
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: I think you know we were behind the second time
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: we touched the ball. It's fourteen to nothing or something
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: like that. So those situations we got to step up
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: and help our defense. If they give up an early
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: score or the other team goes down and scores early,
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: we got to possess the ball. We got to move
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: the football, We got to give them time to recover
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: on the sideline. We got to put points on the board.
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: You know, that was a game that we needed to
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: hold serve there and we weren't able to do that
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: for our defense. And it's everything throughout the course of
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: a season that's going to happ you know, you got
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: to play complimentary football, but we just want to continue
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: to try to do the right things over and over
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: as we move forward.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: That's everyone, Thanks coach, Thanks us
