• 0:01
  Speaker 1: They don't. They like they're they're extremely rare because I think,
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: like when the offense gets in plus territory, though it's
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: hard to stop them getting three points. I've only ever
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: once before I had a shout out and like, obviously
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: three points, but I think you have to you have
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: to celebrate, you have to live in that moment on
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Sunday's back to work on Monday. But it was it
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: was a cool thing for the guys to see them
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: do that. At what point did you start talking about
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: it on the sidelines or maybe didn't, but just the
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: importance of finishing and knowing that that was a possibility.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: I think the importance of the finish was way more
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: than the score. Like the like I think, I feel
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: the week before a big emphasis going into sorry my
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: mind's first little bit he just playing into the Minnesota
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: week was when we came out of the Tennessee week,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: it was like, the guys played good football, but we
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: didn't finish all the time as a defense as we
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: wanted to finish. And I think the message in that
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: week was and the kind of really the input from
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: the players that week was Okay, let's let's finish, let's
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: live in that death zone mentality and can we finish
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: on critical downs? Can we get the football?
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: And they went out there and they've done it.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: It's just it's actually something that I saw on TV,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: like watching a show called fourteen Peaks, and it was
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: just this guy that was climbing eight thousand near mountains
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: and he was saying, only a few people can last
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: kind of survive in that area above eight thousand meters
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: and he called it the death zone. He said, like
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: in the death zone, he came alive. And I kind
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: of just related it to the guys now, related to
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: that that moment in football where you have to thrive
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: that you have to be ready, you have to be prepared,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: you have to attack it, you have to go. So
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: you're going to your D line up thousand maybe, wonder,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I'll make it.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: Are you getting your chance to coach Nickiman worry now
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: that he's playing a little bit on the line.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Actually I worked with him the other day. Yeah.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: I think, like Nick, when you get those players, and
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: we spoke about it before, that can do multiple things.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: I think. Yeah, And we came to like a solution
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: of like they have to see the kind of experts
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: in their area. So he gets coached by a few
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: people and he moves around a lot, and he does
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: a great job of taking that information and seeing what
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: works for him because he's around a lot of players
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: from different positions. So they give him the game from
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: their eyes and he takes it and he's growing. And
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: it's pretty cool to see him grow. He's doing a
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: good job.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Any more thing to see a guy go more to
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: say or across the defensive line position.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: You've got him playing all three levels of the defense.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Now what what about him allows him to be a
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: guy to give to do that if you guys as
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: a rookie nine games in for him and having beat
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: too much, Yeah, I think it starts with his mentality.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: He wants to attack it. He's trying to be the best.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: You know, he's always trying to push for that extra step.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: And I think when you're trying to push like that
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: comes with responsibility. And then he takes it on in
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: the classroom and he looks at it and how he
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: puts in. It takes extra work. You know, you have
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: to come in the month, you have to come in
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: earlier than other guys and sit with coaches, get the
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: game plan for you and get ready to go, and
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: that that's how he's attacking it.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: How did you even how do you guys come to
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: realize he might be able to play on the line.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's not like you look at the defensive
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: back and check their bend or anything.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Like that, and you do. Actually, yeah, Like I saw
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: it one time when he blitzed in training camp and
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: dipped like ghosted the guy on the hedge, and me
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: and Mike were like, that's pretty cool. You So you
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: can't in the way this defense, like Mike's vision's built,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: is like everyone does everything just like Leo dumps and
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Byron dropped from the line of scrimmage and drop out
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: into his own coverage. And it's if people are going
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: backwards that come from the front, people from the front
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: go forwards. And there's just that mentality of playing that
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: mindset that you attack on every level and you try
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: and then your skill set adds to that, and Nicks
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: does in that case, and so you just got to
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: find things that work for him and allow him. The
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: number one thing is you see all his speed, so
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: like you can't if he's playing slow, you can't do it.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Do you?
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: Have to keep like the menu of things that he
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: does at each position. Do you have to keep that smaller?
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: So you're not just ask what do you like?
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: Yes and no, It's more like you see in practice
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: what he can and can't. Like he can't there's nothing
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: he can't do. But just like I said, it's like
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: this defense is about playing really fast and really physical,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: and kind of the identity that guys are creating is
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: to push those limits. You have to know what you're doing,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: so if if any of those things fall off, it's like,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: just pull back and let him do what he does
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: really well.
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: Mike was talking about how that quarter that both Josh
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: and Reek have kind of shown they deserve to play,
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: So you guys are kind of using that. What's sort
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: of the or is there a challenge and kind of
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: making that work with both those guys and kind of
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: the the way they're rotating.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Oh No, I don't think it's a challenge. I think like,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: obviously people want to get on the field, and you,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: just like we smoked by for you address that with
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: honesty the situation they're in, and then I feel like
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Reek and Job are doing an excellent job of maximizing
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: their place snaps at the moment, like every time they're
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: out there, they're having impacts on the plays that they're doing.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: And when you're when you're doing that and your competition
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: is if you keep it consistent, you both get to play.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: Marble might call that one of his favorite players ever.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: It's someone who's coaching for a while.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: What was your take on that play?
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: It's just him. It's like he just goes off and
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: hits the back, as he says, and he's on the ground,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: and then next thing he pops up and I know
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: what his mentality is. He pops up and he just
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: thinks boll like, that's what he does. He's gonna turn
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: run and hit like that's his mentality. And that's the
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: reason why we're super glad. He's a seahawk.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: What are you seeing from Riley Mills?
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Now we're going to have Yeah, Riley's righty. It's so
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: cool to have him on the field. I see someone
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: that's just attacking it every day. You know, Alright, he
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: wants to be know everything and be perfect, but he's
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: gonna have to go through this period. It's tough learning. Now,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: he's got to get his fit. He's gotta kind of
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: get his lungs back and football lungs back and playing.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: And he's out there knocking stuff back and doing a good.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: Job to get up to speed for three weeks and
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: try to be something there before you given the injuries
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: coming off of it not playing.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: I think we'll see when the time comes. You know,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: you can't you. I don't want to anticipate something for
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: him and put extra pressure on him. But one thing
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: I do know, he's emptying the tank to get himself
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: in that position.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: With the Marcus did you did you sense it all
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: that he had any motivation or anything because you only
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: playing the four games last year and changing teams and
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: everything that that.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: That kind of had. I know, uh, I think it's
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: kind of I do see a new energy in him.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: I think think when like his whole career, he played
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: in Dallas, so I think coming here and being in
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: a new environment, you get that new sense. And I
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: think that room has a great energy and a great
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: culture about and he's a big part.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: Of it that culture.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: What did you appreciate about Brandon Peeley jumping to dross
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Job's defense or do you not like that as a coach.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: I think you've got to play between the lines and
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: do it your way, but you've always got to look
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: after each other.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: Do you think that flags on him?
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Did I at the time, not like, no, I didn't.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: I think the guy's running like I didn't. I didn't
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: actually see his thing until afterwards.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: Pretty nice, right cross.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: I didn't see that Greek's interceptions.
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: It seemed kind of similar to a few other plays
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: he's made over career. What do you think of that?
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Poay? Yeah, I know, I know, yeah, I think like
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: the play that he made when he caught the ball,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: it was excellent technique and actually understanding of what was
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: coming and how he played it. Like for a split
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: second I thought it was a touchdown and then you
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: saw him flashing and picked the ball. I thought it
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: was great, Like you wish he would have held onto
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: it for himself, but and the defense. But I thought,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: like it's those things. It's like when you talk, it's
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: like you're talking about that moment for the kid. It's
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: hard because he's done something great and it didn't end.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: But like when he comes off the sideline, all his
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: teammates like congratulating him, saying, we'll get you back the
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: next time. We've got two sacks and off the field,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: you know, like, I think that is a credit to
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: the guys and what they're putting in. He goes back
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: out there and does his job. I think Mike mentioned
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: he messed up that car. He said in creditor Riekoul
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: kind of say the ass what about that assignment based
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: on what they called? It was so difficult, just the
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: right combination that came up and and the stress that
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: was put on a couple of guys. But Greave done
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: it exactly what he was meant to do and he
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: made the play.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: You said, you said there was only one other shut
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: up at US.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: Did you ever in the UK? I had quite a
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: few in the UK. No, it was in the US.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: It was against It was Monday night or Sunday night
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: football against the Giants. Opening night we played and it
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: was forty zero. Yeah, and that was that was the
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: only other show that I've been part of. Yeah, there
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: was like a week and a half ago. Mike mentioned that
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: he was talking about defensive philosophy and he was like,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: he wants to maximize negative outcomes? Is that unique in
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: a defensive mind? And so how does that manifest itself
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: from how you guys playing and go over what's going
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: to be called. I don't think it's unique. I think
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: everyone is trying to negate positive plays in every play
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: that's going I think we have to constantly look for
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: ways we can do that whilst not giving up explosive plays.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: You know, they're they're they're the biggest ways that you
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: give up scores. Is like if team can it's really
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: hard to move the ball down the field like three
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: to four yards at a time for offense, someone's gonna
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: make a mistake. And if you let someone get a
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: seven yard play because you're hunting to make a negative play,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: that's not how we do think. So I think like
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: understanding where the where the situations are you can deal
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: and where they're not, and then trust also trusting your guys.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: You know, we've got guys that can make negative plays
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: without the play telling them to make a negative play.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: And that that's the fine balance between calling it and
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: letting your guys play. And that's what we chase every day.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: What add back when he gets back on the field.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: Just dug like, I know it's it's just an answer
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: that is cliche, but that is what he is. He's
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: going to come in and he's going to give his best.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: He's going to be as physical as he can possibly be.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: The guys follow him, and I can't wait to get
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: him back on the field. That Julian, It's been great
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: to have him back, you know, like it feels like
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: he's always been around because he's been in all meetings,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: But to get him out there and get him running around,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: I'm excited for him. I think last year was Kobe
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: fus start when he was What if you liked about
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: the way he's grown and played since that Game of
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: the Year. There's so many things I think. I think
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: play wise, his understanding has grown of the game. His
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: confidence has grown, which allows him to make place. I
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: think he's always had the ability to make plays like
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: it showed up before we got here. His ability to
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: attack the ball, so to get him on the field
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: and be consistent, so his tackling has taken a huge jump.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: And I think as a person he's a savage like
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: he's he's one of the most kind of competitive people
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: I want to have been around when I'm coaching, and
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: to have him on the defense and push us and
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: try and grow with him has been a cool thing.
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: What does that sound and look like behind the scenes.
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: I mean, when we talked to him, he seems.
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: Kind of, you know, more mild manner.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: Competitive. It doesn't sound like much. He doesn't talk. He
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: just he just goes about his business a certain way.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: He takes real life reps. When he's practicing, he attacks
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: it and it's just it just comes off and it's
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: like how how he wants to go about his business.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: A serious guy that tries to get around the ball
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: as much as he can in practice. He wants to
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: know his stuff and attack it. Thanks. Thanks guys,
