- 1:32Speaker 2: Now?
- 1:34Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean he did some great things yesterday. Player
- 1:39Speaker 1: that uh you know, has proven that he can do
- 1:43Speaker 1: it and you know, so we have a lot of
- 1:46Speaker 1: confidence moving forward that he can he can.
- 1:49Speaker 2: Feel that feel that role, feel that spot.
- 1:52Speaker 1: How do you.
- 1:56Speaker 2: Yeah? I mean tough.
- 1:57Speaker 1: He plays right guard, then he has to go in
- 1:59Speaker 1: at tight in for p a t field goal, then
- 2:01Speaker 1: to go left guard. I mean he's he was all
- 2:03Speaker 1: over the place. I mean, look, it wasn't wasn't perfect,
- 2:07Speaker 1: but but he you know, if he has to go
- 2:10Speaker 1: this week, you know, with a week of preparation, week
- 2:13Speaker 1: of practice, getting all the reps, all that kind of stuff,
- 2:15Speaker 1: he'll be much much better.
- 2:16Speaker 2: It was good for him to play, you know, just
- 2:19Speaker 2: to kind of feel game speed a little bit and
- 2:24Speaker 2: did some did some good things.
- 2:26Speaker 1: But uh, I think a week a week of work
- 2:28Speaker 1: if if that's the case, we'll we'll do them good.
- 2:32Speaker 1: Feel like, what are you really treating? I guess yeah,
- 2:38Speaker 1: it's it's hard. I mean, gosh, I mean you look
- 2:40Speaker 1: at it. Yesterday. I had a good start. First down,
- 2:47Speaker 1: you know, we're what a six seven yard completion there
- 2:49Speaker 1: on first down to tank and and then two incompletions.
- 2:52Speaker 1: I mean, those are just things we got to continue
- 2:53Speaker 1: to to look at and and you know, it's just
- 2:59Speaker 1: it's just that X cution part, right, and then as
- 3:01Speaker 1: coaches making the decisions and the type of calls that
- 3:04Speaker 1: we're making, and you know, just look at it and
- 3:07Speaker 1: make sure we're we're doing the right thing there. And
- 3:10Speaker 1: but again it you know, it took us into the
- 3:13Speaker 1: second quarter against New England to get going, and it
- 3:16Speaker 1: took us about to the fourteenth play of this game,
- 3:19Speaker 1: you know, to get us going. So you know, that's
- 3:21Speaker 1: something we've got to look at and really make a
- 3:23Speaker 1: make an emphasis of, you know, starting like the way
- 3:27Speaker 1: we finish, Uh, that would be that would be uh ideal.
- 3:33Speaker 1: You know as we move forward, do you like how
- 3:35Speaker 1: you responding? I mean, see yesterday ten point two depicity
- 3:42Speaker 1: play its best at that point. Yeah, I mean, I
- 3:45Speaker 1: I am. I'm very pleased at how how we respond. Uh.
- 3:49Speaker 2: You don't want to be down ten, but it's two
- 3:51Speaker 2: weeks in a row.
- 3:51Speaker 1: You know, we've been down ten, but we've responded and
- 3:54Speaker 1: the fact that you know, we did what we did
- 3:56Speaker 1: at the end to to tie the football game, Uh,
- 3:59Speaker 1: is pretty pretty remarkable considering the amount of injuries we had.
- 4:02Speaker 1: You know, late in the game, Trevor I thought, did
- 4:04Speaker 1: a great job leading the team. Uh, the guys around him,
- 4:07Speaker 1: you know, Parker, Tim.
- 4:09Speaker 2: You know, Evan Brenton.
- 4:11Speaker 1: I mean they made plays for him too, and so
- 4:13Speaker 1: offensive line did some good things.
- 4:15Speaker 2: So it was Ah, that part of it was good.
- 4:19Speaker 1: And and now we just somehow we got to get
- 4:23Speaker 1: that to translate to the to the first play of
- 4:25Speaker 1: the game, and and uh, and then carry on from
- 4:29Speaker 1: carry on from there. When you look at where you were,
- 4:32Speaker 1: uh last year, the offensives are not that far apart.
- 4:40Speaker 1: It's a pretty big gap. Uh what do you I
- 4:44Speaker 1: do that. It's it's just probably pretty us dispeleting where
- 4:49Speaker 1: you are. The defense, it's just lived first two games
- 4:55Speaker 1: they were fine, and then in the last six weeks
- 4:57Speaker 1: it's just not good. Yeah, I mean, it's it's just
- 5:01Speaker 1: it's something that you know, as we look at the
- 5:04Speaker 1: as we look at the tape, look at the you know,
- 5:06Speaker 1: the personnel, you try to put you try to put
- 5:11Speaker 1: a finger on it.
- 5:12Speaker 2: You know, Uh, this is the scheme?
- 5:14Speaker 1: Is it?
- 5:15Speaker 2: The execution by the players? You know, I would say
- 5:18Speaker 2: it's it's a little of both right now.
- 5:21Speaker 1: And and look, bottom line is sometimes and I'm not
- 5:25Speaker 1: saying this is the this is the case, but you know,
- 5:27Speaker 1: you don't want to do too much on the field,
- 5:29Speaker 1: right You don't want to take things into your own
- 5:30Speaker 1: hands and think you got to do somebody else.
- 5:33Speaker 2: Just do your Just ask you to do your job. Coaches, coach, players,
- 5:36Speaker 2: play all that.
- 5:38Speaker 1: But just do your job and and and we'll be fine.
- 5:41Speaker 1: And when the when you see the good out there,
- 5:45Speaker 1: that's what's happening. All eleven are playing is one. But
- 5:50Speaker 1: but sometimes there's you know, every now and then you
- 5:52Speaker 1: get the one guy that you know maybe's out of
- 5:55Speaker 1: his gap or does something a little bit different or
- 5:58Speaker 1: forgott an assignment or something like that, and and it
- 6:01Speaker 1: hurts us. And and those are the things we're trying
- 6:03Speaker 1: to clean up right now, and just making sure we
- 6:05Speaker 1: continue to coach coach the details, uh coach to find
- 6:09Speaker 1: the finer points and and and try to eliminate some
- 6:12Speaker 1: of that. Yesterday got back up pressure standpoint. It just
- 6:23Speaker 1: didn't see it. Yeah, I mean, obviously, you know you
- 6:28Speaker 1: want to you want to affect the passer, and you
- 6:30Speaker 1: go in each week thinking you can and and uh,
- 6:34Speaker 1: you know, we got something we got listen, we got
- 6:35Speaker 1: to take a look at it. And and I do
- 6:38Speaker 1: believe still we got we got the right guys there.
- 6:41Speaker 1: You know, whether we move them more, bring bring five
- 6:46Speaker 1: man pressure, six man pressures, whatever, whatever we got to
- 6:49Speaker 1: do to affect the passer.
- 6:50Speaker 2: You know, we we've got to be able to do that.
- 6:52Speaker 1: And and I know Ryan, you know, Ryan is looking
- 6:56Speaker 1: hard at that. Takes a lot of pride in that
- 6:59Speaker 1: and in you know, it's an area that we've got
- 7:02Speaker 1: to we've got to improve. Do you feel like you
- 7:04Speaker 1: need to take a little more actives this year? I
- 7:07Speaker 1: think you do that last year.
- 7:09Speaker 2: As far as what.
- 7:12Speaker 1: Decisions or any non I listen, my I leave it
- 7:16Speaker 1: up to the experts over there. I'm an offensive guy.
- 7:18Speaker 1: I'm gonna stay on the offense. I'm gonna help where
- 7:21Speaker 1: I can. You know, I can help with personnel and
- 7:27Speaker 1: you know, different decisions that way. But as far as
- 7:30Speaker 1: when it comes to scheme and all that, I mean,
- 7:32Speaker 1: you know, that's that's.
- 7:33Speaker 2: What they get paid to do. And and and you know,
- 7:36Speaker 2: let them do their jobs.
- 7:39Speaker 1: Pack and band as well as you know, you're gonna
- 7:42Speaker 1: don't have to change and stuff. What you do. I know,
- 7:44Speaker 1: you went to more twelve personnel at the end of
- 7:46Speaker 1: the game last year, and you count on these guys
- 7:49Speaker 1: kind of continue to run with your.
- 7:51Speaker 2: Ru stop justice. Well, I mean, I I it's.
- 7:59Speaker 1: I think changes just for the nature of the people
- 8:03Speaker 1: that are on a field. But yeah, I mean, missing
- 8:08Speaker 1: Christian is gonna you know, it's gonna it's gonna sting
- 8:10Speaker 1: a little bit, obviously his leadership and the way he's
- 8:14Speaker 1: been playing, and you know, but you still we'll see.
- 8:20Speaker 1: We'll see this week where BT is and we know
- 8:22Speaker 1: we know that it's really you're just asking Parker to
- 8:26Speaker 1: kind of step into Christian spot and we feel very
- 8:28Speaker 1: comfortable there. So I don't think there's gonna be a
- 8:31Speaker 1: whole lot of whole, you know, a bunch of changes. Schematically,
- 8:35Speaker 1: we just have to put our players, you know, in
- 8:38Speaker 1: the best situations, meaning take their strengths and utilize that
- 8:43Speaker 1: in the game plan. Undecided right now, but he after
- 8:52Speaker 1: the first couple of series, he settled.
- 8:53Speaker 2: In and and did some good things and we'll see
- 8:57Speaker 2: how it goes this week.
- 9:00Speaker 1: That he wasn't starting. Was there an argument between those
- 9:03Speaker 1: two at all or anything?
- 9:04Speaker 2: No, MM, mm, do you see whate.
- 9:07Speaker 1: No words exchanged, So I wanted to check.
- 9:12Speaker 2: Well, anytime you have a conversation, there's words exchanged, angry
- 9:16Speaker 2: words exchange, ahing like that. Yeah, no, that's that'd be
- 9:20Speaker 2: news to me.
- 9:22Speaker 1: Any chance to get doing back week?
- 9:25Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I think he's really close.
- 9:27Speaker 1: I think, you know, last week was good for him.
- 9:32Speaker 1: He'll probably be in a better better spot this week
- 9:34Speaker 1: having gone through a week of practice.
- 9:36Speaker 2: So yeah, I think there's a good chance.
- 9:37Speaker 1: When he come back. Or are you gonna he's a man?
- 9:40Speaker 1: Or do you want him to carry the defense and
- 9:42Speaker 1: the special teams worklood that he had to work. Do
- 9:44Speaker 1: you think it's gonna have to be a transition.
- 9:46Speaker 2: Before he carries I I think you transition him.
- 9:49Speaker 1: You know, he hasn't played, y know, in in games right,
- 9:52Speaker 1: so I think much like we did Tyson, you know,
- 9:56Speaker 1: when he came back, I think he have to transition
- 9:57Speaker 1: him slowly, you know, to get him back up to speed.
- 10:02Speaker 1: I just wanna ask you the speed probably gonna have
- 10:04Speaker 1: to hold him back.
- 10:06Speaker 2: Get out.
- 10:08Speaker 1: Now, I mean maybe a little bit. It's whatever he
- 10:11Speaker 1: can handle. I would say that whatever. If he feels
- 10:14Speaker 1: like he's he's good we g we we put more
- 10:16Speaker 1: on him if he's you know, if he's in a
- 10:19Speaker 1: good spot, we keep him right there in a good spot.
- 10:21Speaker 1: So I think it it's also dependent on how he responds.
- 10:24Speaker 1: And do you think you're gonna have to bring up
- 10:26Speaker 1: a receiver from a practice spot?
- 10:27Speaker 2: Probably so with uh with Christian situation.
- 10:30Speaker 1: Yeah, there the warm I think time out.
- 10:36Speaker 2: You call it four.
- 10:37Speaker 1: Men's remaining of analytics, and I think decision to try
- 10:43Speaker 1: and save time here from.
- 10:44Speaker 2: That standpoint, was it a third down?
- 10:50Speaker 1: He was just curious about that.
- 10:52Speaker 2: Yeah, it probably was.
- 10:57Speaker 1: After a refreshment memory, I know we called one and
- 10:59Speaker 1: then I had two left at the end oral three left,
- 11:07Speaker 1: third and seven. We were on defense. Was the clock
- 11:15Speaker 1: stopped or running? What was the play before? Uh two
- 11:21Speaker 1: yard run to get it to third and seven? Yeah,
- 11:24Speaker 1: I think at that point we're just trying to conserve
- 11:26Speaker 1: the time as much as we could. So I just
- 11:28Speaker 1: use one right there. If I remember correctly, I think
- 11:33Speaker 1: it's possible. I mean sounds.
- 11:34Speaker 2: Good, correct.
- 11:38Speaker 1: Penalty or it was technically special teams with the field
- 11:43Speaker 1: go back and looking bad. Did you see anything?
- 11:48Speaker 2: No comment?
- 11:50Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I mean look they you know it's it's
- 11:55Speaker 1: been a point of emphasis around the league. It's something
- 11:59Speaker 1: that uh, you know a lot of teams do we
- 12:02Speaker 1: It's not that I mean, we just we just move
- 12:04Speaker 1: our line. You know. I didn't feel like it was
- 12:07Speaker 1: abrupt at all, but hey, it gets it, gets called,
- 12:12Speaker 1: and then you got to coach it a little bit
- 12:15Speaker 1: better next time
