Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: So your two head rushers have zero sacks, but I
- 0:05Speaker 1: don't feel like that really speaks to how they're planning
- 0:07Speaker 1: so far. How how do you feel like ye Mafe
- 0:10Speaker 1: Derek Hoon in particular or plans.
- 0:12Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I think all three of them are
- 0:14Speaker 2: playing pretty well.
- 0:15Speaker 3: So like like I said last week, sacks they come,
- 0:18Speaker 3: you know, like all three are playing well.
- 0:21Speaker 2: They creating quick pressures, which is important.
- 0:24Speaker 3: They're starting to learn as a group how to rush
- 0:26Speaker 3: us one, which is the most exciting point. And I
- 0:29Speaker 3: think the next phase, the the production will come, you know,
- 0:34Speaker 3: a production I mean. But it's it good to see
- 0:36Speaker 3: a gully Byron who you know you've all been pra praising.
- 0:38Speaker 4: For so long the work he's putting in dow to show.
- 0:40Speaker 2: Up with a sack and a half.
- 0:42Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel it's good for him, you know, like
- 0:44Speaker 3: just like you just ask this, like when someone does
- 0:47Speaker 3: the work and they do with it, especially him, He
- 0:51Speaker 3: does a lot of dirty work, but some people like
- 0:53Speaker 3: you cannot appreciate at times. But it's it helps the
- 0:56Speaker 3: defense in a huge way. When he gets some rewards
- 0:59Speaker 3: for it, you can see that it helps him with
- 1:01Speaker 3: his confidence. Is kind of as the next step of him.
- 1:04Speaker 3: But he done a great job this weekend.
- 1:05Speaker 4: What's the advantage and maybe the danger of his going
- 1:08Speaker 4: to a knee against the run when.
- 1:10Speaker 2: He gets double teamed.
- 1:13Speaker 3: It's those things are that the way he plays double
- 1:17Speaker 3: teams is kind of the guys that drop to a knee, they're.
- 1:21Speaker 2: The guys that they can just do it.
- 1:23Speaker 3: It's like like I remember when he came here, Hanks
- 1:26Speaker 3: started trying to do it a little bit, and he
- 1:28Speaker 3: kind of done it sometimes, but there's a lot of
- 1:31Speaker 3: kind of instinctual timing and that like and then when
- 1:34Speaker 3: you drop, when you snap out like he he's one.
- 1:37Speaker 2: Of the best I've seen it doing it. Like he
- 1:39Speaker 2: does a great job by it. You don't coach that.
- 1:41Speaker 2: These guys know they don't you know.
- 1:45Speaker 3: Like you you do coach how to play it, but
- 1:46Speaker 3: when someone can do it at that level, you kind
- 1:49Speaker 3: of how do you grow it?
- 1:50Speaker 2: You know? It's relatively I call him Swan sometimes.
- 1:58Speaker 3: Nah, It's like he's like he's compactly strong, he's flexible,
- 2:04Speaker 3: He's got real strong lower body and upper body.
- 2:06Speaker 2: He's like there's not many people that.
- 2:10Speaker 3: Play that position that kind of have all those attributes
- 2:14Speaker 3: that he has and he's kind of like, now he's
- 2:15Speaker 3: starting to click.
- 2:16Speaker 2: She's gotta keep going.
- 2:17Speaker 3: It's like consistency and belief, and he's getting it.
- 2:22Speaker 2: What goes in from a.
- 2:24Speaker 3: Coaching standpoint for your staff getting a guy like Kendrick Ready, he's.
- 2:27Speaker 2: Here less than two weeks and I guess you're playing.
- 2:29Speaker 3: For yeah, like case Scott and Nico like spending extra
- 2:36Speaker 3: time finding windows. When you get a new guy in,
- 2:38Speaker 3: it's kind of like you have to teach him the
- 2:40Speaker 3: base part of the system, understand. Sometimes those guys a
- 2:44Speaker 3: lot of football you go like coming from a different country,
- 2:47Speaker 3: you know, like you go to these places, You've got
- 2:50Speaker 3: to find out what that.
- 2:51Speaker 2: Word means in your language, you know, and then you.
- 2:53Speaker 3: Flip it and kind of like you get going and
- 2:56Speaker 3: and a lot of football is the same and it's
- 2:58Speaker 3: just how do I interpret this? And in the short
- 3:00Speaker 3: term you kind of do that and then you kind
- 3:02Speaker 3: of start learning the system. And you've got to give
- 3:04Speaker 3: the kid credit. He went out there, play fast, He
- 3:07Speaker 3: played free and made some real important place for us.
- 3:10Speaker 2: What you like about it skill set now and you've
- 3:11Speaker 2: seen it a close for a couple of things.
- 3:13Speaker 3: Got to with his instinct, his ability to stay square
- 3:16Speaker 3: and coverage. He's got great foot quickness, it's got great awareness,
- 3:19Speaker 3: especially in his owns, like he's he's doing well. It's
- 3:22Speaker 3: just like now it's like now you're getting into game plan.
- 3:25Speaker 3: It's like there's specifics that things come on and he
- 3:29Speaker 3: needs to learn the intricate details the communication and and now.
- 3:32Speaker 2: He's gonna play at our house. We're super loud. So
- 3:35Speaker 2: you know what of the defenses he have right now?
- 3:38Speaker 2: Still most of it?
- 3:39Speaker 3: Yeah, most of it because it's like you can you
- 3:41Speaker 3: can teach a situational So it's just like honing the
- 3:44Speaker 3: little details and those things.
- 3:46Speaker 1: Stuff from tyres Knight from week one to week two.
- 3:49Speaker 3: Yeah, dude, I think, like you know, like we gotta
- 3:53Speaker 3: remind ourselves. Me me as well, is that when people
- 3:56Speaker 3: miss time at certain parts of the year, like he
- 3:59Speaker 3: had a bit of time off.
- 3:59Speaker 2: In training camp.
- 4:01Speaker 3: Those they're important, you know, like understanding getting your legs
- 4:05Speaker 3: underneath you, getting your angles right, getting your hands right,
- 4:08Speaker 3: understanding the flow of the game, the timing of the game.
- 4:10Speaker 3: So like you see, like it's just gonna keep coming,
- 4:13Speaker 3: and he's it will help his confidence and help him
- 4:16Speaker 3: play faster.
- 4:17Speaker 2: What do you think of the game Julian had against
- 4:19Speaker 2: the still good Jillian.
- 4:20Speaker 3: Julian is a playmaker and he consistently shows up for
- 4:24Speaker 3: us and consistently does the right thing. And there's no
- 4:28Speaker 3: more I can say about it. And he's he's one
- 4:30Speaker 3: of our leaders, and he's one of our best players.
- 4:33Speaker 3: Playing the tickets, I would say, no, just really his
- 4:41Speaker 3: whole game, Like I just the the angles that he
- 4:44Speaker 3: takes the ball, the the depth. There's some plays that
- 4:47Speaker 3: he takes away, certain things that help the front goal.
- 4:50Speaker 3: You know, there's a couple of really good coverage sacks
- 4:52Speaker 3: in the game that helped us. You know.
- 4:54Speaker 2: So there's a few things. Who goes to get in?
- 4:57Speaker 2: The guys to buy it special?
- 5:00Speaker 3: How much guys get paid when they get on sacks?
- 5:02Speaker 2: Be goesn't the getting guys to pay fly into the
- 5:04Speaker 2: rushing of the line. I think it's Ma's vision.
- 5:07Speaker 3: Like I think like when when you get a group
- 5:11Speaker 3: of really good d linemen, once they understand what they're
- 5:16Speaker 3: trying to achieve and they can see the vision and
- 5:19Speaker 3: they buy in. Like what I've seen in the the
- 5:21Speaker 3: situations and experiences I've been, they they choose to go
- 5:25Speaker 3: as one. They're connected they're really close group. I think
- 5:27Speaker 3: you should talk, like ask them, but I feel like
- 5:30Speaker 3: their connection is one of the biggest things that has
- 5:33Speaker 3: grown in my eyes this year.
- 5:35Speaker 2: Like as a group, it's a.
- 5:36Speaker 4: It's a two game sample size, it's still relatively small,
- 5:39Speaker 4: but your four man pressure group seems to be.
- 5:41Speaker 2: Doing a water damn that ship from.
- 5:42Speaker 4: Why do you think that's been that they've been so
- 5:45Speaker 4: effective to for for down unit?
- 5:48Speaker 3: I think it's the group of players that they've got,
- 5:50Speaker 3: really got eight guys that can go. And then just
- 5:54Speaker 3: the understanding of the game plan, understanding of the rush plan,
- 5:58Speaker 3: how they work, where the keys are, how they.
- 6:00Speaker 2: Get off the rock, how they do it together.
- 6:03Speaker 3: The relentlessnessess they play with a lot of like pressure
- 6:06Speaker 3: comes from a lot of technique, but also a lot
- 6:10Speaker 3: of like mindset of how you get that because the
- 6:12Speaker 3: time you really change the game is near the end of.
- 6:14Speaker 2: The game, when you're tired, you know, and it's like,
- 6:15Speaker 2: how do you click into that? But they're doing a
- 6:17Speaker 2: great job, did you Dallas? Yeah?
- 6:20Speaker 3: And for two years are impressions of great dude smart,
- 6:24Speaker 3: Like he's gonna give us, He's gonna give us some things.
- 6:27Speaker 3: He's gonna challenge us looking forward to seeing him. I
- 6:29Speaker 3: haven't seen him in a while. That's like, I think
- 6:32Speaker 3: he left in twenty two and I did another year, and.
- 6:36Speaker 2: Yeah, it'd be cool to see him. I spoke to him,
- 6:38Speaker 2: but I haven't seen him. How would you describe his offense?
- 6:44Speaker 3: I would say if vertically and horizontally challenges you, and
- 6:49Speaker 3: it's always at the moment he's trying to stay ahead
- 6:52Speaker 3: of plays and trying to put his guys. He does
- 6:54Speaker 3: a great job put his guys in great situations. And
- 6:57Speaker 3: since I've known him, he's always done.
- 6:59Speaker 5: That himself with the uh the green dot for your
- 7:03Speaker 5: passwords and essentially called him.
- 7:09Speaker 2: I don't know who he's talking to. Then what makes
- 7:12Speaker 2: some good? Assuming he's not lying? Uh, what is good?
- 7:14Speaker 4: What makes some good?
- 7:15Speaker 2: That role being like your game callers, uh, Justice poison.
- 7:18Speaker 5: It's him being calm like you think, like when you
- 7:22Speaker 5: when you're when you're kind of the orchestra, like the
- 7:25Speaker 5: or like the kind of conductor for all those crazy guys.
- 7:29Speaker 3: You gotta give communication a short amount of time. You
- 7:32Speaker 3: gotta let him know what they're doing, and then they
- 7:34Speaker 3: gotta go. So he does a great job with that.
- 7:36Speaker 2: Hope.
- 7:38Speaker 3: Sometimes Yeah, what makes a tomorrow child the past game,
- 7:43Speaker 3: the throw especially if you guys, I've seen that guy
- 7:46Speaker 3: quite a lot, obviously. I was in Atlanta when he
- 7:48Speaker 3: was in New Orleans. He's just he's to me, he's
- 7:52Speaker 3: like an elite route runner with elite contact balance, quickness,
- 7:55Speaker 3: lateral quickness, but of course speed and he's got great hands.
- 7:59Speaker 2: He he's all.
- 8:01Speaker 3: Around back like there's like him and Christian both were
- 8:05Speaker 3: in that division when I was there and playing those guys,
- 8:09Speaker 3: they're a problem. You know, you have to you have
- 8:11Speaker 3: to prepare for him. You have to get ready for
- 8:12Speaker 3: rom and you have.
- 8:13Speaker 2: To get to the football.
- 8:14Speaker 3: You know. Does his size kind of maybe take some
- 8:17Speaker 3: people by surprise.
- 8:18Speaker 2: I mean he's too well over too.
- 8:20Speaker 4: He looks like a smaller game.
- 8:21Speaker 2: Yeah. I just think in this league, some guys it's
- 8:24Speaker 2: like a spoon.
- 8:25Speaker 3: It's like guys there, their strength is way bigger than
- 8:29Speaker 3: the size. Like you just watch the tape and you
- 8:32Speaker 3: just have to get ready and get ready to play
- 8:34Speaker 3: these guys.
- 8:34Speaker 2: He's a good player.
- 8:36Speaker 1: You talked about his ability to run routes and run
- 8:39Speaker 1: after catch. You guys have had some challenges the first
- 8:41Speaker 1: two games and kind of running backs getting out and
- 8:44Speaker 1: running after the catch? Is that something you guys are
- 8:46Speaker 1: focused on? What do you have to do to kind
- 8:47Speaker 1: of learn?
- 8:48Speaker 3: I think you just got like the two players you're
- 8:51Speaker 3: talking about on us, just like you missed seven tackles
- 8:53Speaker 3: on those plays.
- 8:54Speaker 2: We can't make those tackles.
- 8:55Speaker 3: Like we know as a group, we're working on it,
- 8:57Speaker 3: and you've got to deny explode plays. Explosive plays are
- 9:02Speaker 3: the things that get people points, you know, So like
- 9:05Speaker 3: as a group, it's just we know that and we
- 9:08Speaker 3: have to deal with this. When a pattern shows up,
- 9:10Speaker 3: you have to stop it in this league quickly. So
- 9:12Speaker 3: like we're working on it.
- 9:14Speaker 2: I think.
- 9:14Speaker 4: So we have three players of more than fifteen yearns
- 9:17Speaker 4: of blow ysm. So how how do you kind of
- 9:19Speaker 4: square the two in the spectrum there where you have
- 9:21Speaker 4: a couple of plays you definitely want back, but in
- 9:24Speaker 4: general you've kind.
- 9:24Speaker 2: Of kept it in check for two Yeah.
- 9:27Speaker 3: Yes, starts yourself what you wanna be like if these
- 9:29Speaker 3: guys are trying to be the best day of version.
- 9:31Speaker 2: Of themselves, like let's just stop the place like I do.
- 9:35Speaker 3: We have to work on it and then you don't
- 9:37Speaker 3: let them have any you know, Like that's that's the
- 9:40Speaker 3: mentality the guys want, and that's how we have to
- 9:42Speaker 3: push him.
- 9:43Speaker 2: How you missed tackles? Did you chart last week? I
- 9:46Speaker 2: think it was twelve? Maybe?
- 9:49Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I think so twelve or eleven? Don't you're
- 9:52Speaker 3: obviously gonna quote me, but but but yeah, I think so.
- 9:57Speaker 2: Yeah, I would say that, what's that? Yeah, I do
- 10:00Speaker 2: know the open I think they open them seven. But yeah, Like,
- 10:05Speaker 2: there's just they're just.
- 10:06Speaker 3: Things you gotta work on when you're playing really fast
- 10:08Speaker 3: and you're playing aggressively, like that control at the point
- 10:12Speaker 3: of attack, you've got to keep working it. You've got
- 10:14Speaker 3: to keep chasing it and we'll get there.
- 10:17Speaker 2: You do it in the league, won't let your tackle.
- 10:19Speaker 2: You don't practice tackling ever you get limited. We practice
- 10:23Speaker 2: it a lot. You practice it every single day? Yeah,
- 10:27Speaker 2: full pads? How many fourteen in a season? How do
- 10:29Speaker 2: you practice that?
- 10:31Speaker 3: You have your drills obviously, like and Chris Partrich he
- 10:34Speaker 3: runs all out all our tackling program and does a
- 10:37Speaker 3: great job of that. And then like how you challenge
- 10:40Speaker 3: people's angles in practice, how how you finish and how
- 10:43Speaker 3: you get an extra foot in the ground to make
- 10:45Speaker 3: sure can you get two hands on a guy, you know,
- 10:47Speaker 3: like practice habits I think can help you become a
- 10:50Speaker 3: better practice practice than team.
- 10:51Speaker 2: And Mike talks about all the time.
- 10:53Speaker 1: What's the number obviously with zero, but what's the number
- 10:55Speaker 1: that you shoot for.
- 10:56Speaker 4: Like per week?
- 10:58Speaker 3: M hmm, I know, I don't you gotta tackle him,
- 11:04Speaker 3: You gotta get him on the ground. That's like that,
- 11:06Speaker 3: like as as least as possible, you know, week good
- 11:11Speaker 3: Like I think he takes a challenge, you know, like
- 11:13Speaker 3: and that That's what we spoke about last week when
- 11:15Speaker 3: we was in the same situation. You ask about, this
- 11:17Speaker 3: is a competitive league, so every time you have to.
- 11:20Speaker 2: We talk about it after the game win or lose.
- 11:23Speaker 3: Really is like how'd you take the coaching how'd you
- 11:26Speaker 3: take the kind of the coaching.
- 11:28Speaker 2: Points to grow? It's every week.
- 11:31Speaker 3: And then like how do you how'd you clear it
- 11:34Speaker 3: and reload and then practice it And we've done a
- 11:36Speaker 3: bad job this week, and now we go again.
- 11:38Speaker 2: You know, I think you highlight his chasing down Warren
- 11:42Speaker 2: from behind him.
- 11:43Speaker 3: Yeah, we high we highlighted it like that play gave
- 11:45Speaker 3: us a chance to go and win, you know.
- 11:49Speaker 2: And I think when you talk about.
- 11:51Speaker 3: Like like there's like that play is like to me,
- 11:54Speaker 3: encapulates that defense right now is that we gotta make
- 11:57Speaker 3: that play and tackle that guy. But once they missed it,
- 12:00Speaker 3: they're all running to the ball and then someone gets
- 12:03Speaker 3: him down and now were clear and we go again.
- 12:05Speaker 3: And that's what I gave him credit for. We have
- 12:08Speaker 3: to fix the other stuff and then we get going.
- 12:10Speaker 1: What did the eat stand for?
- 12:12Speaker 2: In your hat? Eight?
- 12:17Speaker 3: You can ask Mat Okay, anything else, Thank you, alright,
- 12:22Speaker 3: thanks
