  Speaker 1: What a beautiful day. How we do.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Which you could have the choice of facing a great
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: offensive line or a quarterback that throws the ball really
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: quickly gets rid of the ball, which you choose.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: I would say that's a good question. That's a great
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: offensive line, Like.
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: Just for the reason you said, Like, the ball comes
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: out like I played against Miami last year. The ball
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: does come out fast, you know, like and when we
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: played against you Seattle last year, the ball came out
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: really fast.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: And how it affects the rushers and you know, as
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: you mentioned you played Miami. Just what is it about
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: that scheme and the weapons they have, the.
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: Distresses they do a great job of like stressing you
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: like across the field and vertically up the field, you know,
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: like and and then how they how they attack the
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: edges of the defense.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: They do it multiple different ways the same thing, and
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: they do a really good job. You've got to give
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: them credit. What was your view?
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: I guess the defense sense, you know, it's it's funny,
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: it's it's those tiny It shows when the team wants
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: to when they decide to run the.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Ball, like and it's what they're going to do. It's
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: an all day affair. You know, and when when you
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: have to do that for four calls, you've got to
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: fundamentally be sound.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: I think myself, I've got to do a better job
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: putting some people in the right positions you know at times,
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: and when you get those explosive runs and a couple
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: of more of them build up, it kind of affects
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: what you're asking about is the wrong game stats and
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: that's where it affects it, you know. So like I think,
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: just cleaning up those things, really working on it, and
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: when a team decides to do something like that, how
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: we really shut the door. And that's the learning process,
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: you know, it's a growth.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: That's what we gotta keep doing. How would you make that?
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: I know it's not going to be greatly, but the
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: chemistry of your linebackers.
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: And your d n T have talked about that today
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: in express.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: That's a critical piece, no doubt, I think.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: Like you know, like if you think about the operation
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: of every play, So if you think, okay, the call
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: comes into te dor and has to give the call
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: to a group of people, then he has to adjust
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: the cale, like those people have to learn how each
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: other's voice. You have to learn T's voice. Then say,
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: like the call came in, you didn't hear it right,
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: you got lined up wrong. They've got to be able
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: to react to his call. Do you see what I'm saying. So,
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: the more chemistry you have. And then on the higher
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: level of it, it's like when you have really good
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: defensive linemen, you don't want to take you don't want
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: to always put them in a box.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: You don't want to say they have to do everything exactly,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: do you know?
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: Like and then but to do that you have to
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: have a chemistry on both levels to understand how to
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: play off each other at times, you know.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Talk to the gentlemen, be unselfish.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: Sis that's needed for those V line so that the
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: tune which you can play.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: How important is that?
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: So like Williams always a couple of times when he
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: just goes and makes them play in his laye as
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: opposed to what else he has to be wearing.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: So so my question, I'm sorry if you question the discipline,
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: I completely understand. Like I think when you're developing a
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: D line and the people that you have is one
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: of the most critical parts. Obviously, Like you've got talent,
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: you've got ability, you've got the way they do things.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: But the way they are as a group, they have
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: to make a conscious decision of what they want to achieve,
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: you know, like because there's individual stats when they come
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: you know, and but to like the bestd lines you
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: can think of.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: They rush as a group. They play as a group.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: They play off each other, well, they kind of they
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: close each other's rush lanes when things are going on.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: You know, they understand like the depth of each other
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: who plays it certain ways, and that that takes a
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: long time, and you don't speed that process up by
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: the way you like kind of enhance the process is
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: the way they do things together, so they get to
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: know each other like on a on a kind of
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: higher level than just surface level.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Does that make sense, It's just like any work environment. Well.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: A couple of different defensive linemen have described Baron Murphy saying.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: He doesn't seem like a rookie to you. What does
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: that mean if you're here?
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: I think there's certain parts of that statement I definitely
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: agree with. Like it's and it's not like he has
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: great ability, but it's not that it's his maturity with
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: the way he like attacks every day, Like he sits
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: in the room taking his notes, watching film, understands what's
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: going on, listens to the vets. He's not trying to necessarily,
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: and if he is, he doesn't really show it chase
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: something that's not there.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: He just does his job and he tries to improve
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: on his job.
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: And that, to me, that's kind of a rare quality
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: for a young person, you know, pick player. He sorry,
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: caught me off guard there, Yeah, sorry, right, you cat
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: me on guard. I was thinking of Tyrrell when you
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: said it. Yeah, he played. You know what it's like
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: when you come into a game.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: I think.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: As soon as you like, you get dropped into the
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: game in the middle of the game. I think he
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: done some great things, Okay, like his ability to hit
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: the ball and tackle the ball and find the ball
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: is there.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: I think the growth of his game is just.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: Doing it on a day to day basis in a
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: real NFL game, you know, Like I see that's where
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: his growth is. You know, when you're talking about the
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: cars they're coming in the Tyrrell, how much.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Does he have a time of me in certain situations
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: with checks? It's just part of the defense.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: Like it's just how like every play in most defenses,
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: there's adjustments to certain things.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: What was your views the third point, it's a great play,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: you know, same as your view.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: No, Like I think that's like it's easy to kind
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: of and don't get me wrong, like I'm not downplaying anything.
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: Like the wrong game is super important and you have
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: to stop it. But that when you when you in
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: the moment, you come out and you're frustrated at times.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: I think we all are when we was left that game,
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: you know, like we didn't show ourselves the way we
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: want to show it. But if you really like step
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: back and look at again and some good things and
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: and the ability to stand up when it really counted,
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: Like you think at the end of the game there
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: was a two minute three and out stop and then
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: the start of overtime there was a three and out stop.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: That that's that's great football. That's how you close out
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: games like and then it's easy. It makes life not easier,
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: but it makes things a lot kind of simpler to
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: focus on the details and the fundamentals when you come.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: To the next week to improve it. Does that make sense?
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we heard that Chris Parford showed in the club
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: have a look for you guys expected that they kind
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: of we do more different coach.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: What's like all that different coaches have in that sense.
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: Yes, as we go through game plans, people have different
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: roles and and part of the game plan is to
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: look at and say, okay, what do they do in
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: these situations.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: That's just how coaches will approach it.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: Miami's got a lot of speed and they run a
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: lot of misdirection and their runs. How do you coach
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: the team when you like, don't get a false step,
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: but you also got to get there quickly to get
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: to the edge.
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: How do you coach There's lots of different things, but
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: like I think at different levels, like when when there's
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: a lot of things moving, you have it's really about
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: and I know it sounds kind of cliche, but it's
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: about your own defense and how you adjust, how you
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: play your keys, and how you play on all three
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: levels and communicate, you know, Like that's how like people
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: move and things and shift to put you in bad
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: spots to create angles, you know, So like how you
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: do those things is like what we're practicing for. When
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: when you were with Dallas last year, he watched the
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: film after the Seahawk game, did anything jumped out to
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: you about.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: How you know played when we played that.
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, his ability to process and get the ball out fast,
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: like the ball was rolling out that game.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: It really was, And I thought he played great in
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: that game. Have you learned more about that aspect of
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: this game that?
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you see him every day like he impressed me
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: from the day I got here. So great person, great leader.
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: And you see his accuracy and the where he goes.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: To the ball out you know, is it something unique processing?
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: No, I haven't, not really that It was just like
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: I see Grub work with him and that It's just
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: it's just his accuracy and those things stood out to
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: me saying all that was a surprising How long he
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: was a backup in this sleep before he got another
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: shot here?
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: I would say yes, but I don't really know his
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: full story.
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: I've never sat down with him to say that, but yeah,
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: you see him out like he's a star and a
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: sneaking very good one, you know.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: So so like I would say, yes.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: You learn anything about Ryan Grubb since you started.
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: Working together, Yeah, he's a painting practice, but no other
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: than that, he's just as I'll get to know him,
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: he's a great guy and he's becoming a closer and
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: closer friend.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Thanks, thanks
