  Speaker 1: All right, once again, when is the Army Navy game,
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: it's in Baltimore.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: He's gonna ask for tis.
• 0:12
  Speaker 3: Always see the waters. Yeah, alright, ready, all right, So run.
• 0:23
  Speaker 4: Games maybe a lot of progress the last four weeks. Now,
• 0:26
  Speaker 4: I'm curious, how much do you think maybe that Hulu
• 0:28
  Speaker 4: has played a role at all and helping them?
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: Well, he's definitely, he's definitely been an asset for us.
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: He's playing physical, he's playing decisive, he's getting this to
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: the right targets, he's planning to plaining, he's doing some
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: good things.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's doing a lot of good things.
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: As you know, it has to be it's cohesive effort
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: the run game. Everyone's gonna be on the same page,
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: and it starts with him. So he's definitely a driving
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: force behind while we're playing.
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: Mike on your second half offensive adjustments, you're not gonna
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: you can't say specifically, but what did you think of
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: that because you had four SATs in the first.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: Half and then what was that talking out the second
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: half adjustments for the staff?
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, uh yeah, yeah, I mean we we look
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: they can.
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: Get to a lot of different things, and it's a
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: tribute to them and how they're built, but you can't
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: do everything every game, so once you are, we did
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: a good job of understanding of some of the matches
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: that they're doing and some of the fronts that they're
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: building out of some of those personnel groups, we could
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: get to some better some better answers. And that's a
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: tribute to our guys for being on top of it. Yeah,
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: that's really that function of just understanding how that what
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: they were doing and what our counter bunch would have been.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: So that's what happened.
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: I started playing the game. What parts of the week
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: do you look forward to the most?
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: Oh man, UH as much as Stephanie probably doesn't feel it,
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: but Tuesday family Night is pretty great.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: We get a bunch of the.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: UH staff's kids are here in town, are in the building,
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: excuse me, and we you know, we set up the
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: indoor here, so they're all running around. So you know,
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: Jack's walking now, so he's chasing something. I'm not sure what,
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: but that's pretty cool to see him out here.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: That's that's a highlight. Ah, it really is.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: It really is, like it's fun to see the the
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: it come together, you know, you like there's these benchmarks
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: throughout the week, that you want us see how the
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: guys are taking into the game plan and what our
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: mentality is. It changes from you know, it varies from
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: week to week, but you really do I think you
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: really do enjoy the process of seeing a plan come
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: together and seeing how it and you know, working with
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: everybody to kind of put our best foot forward going
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: into the game.
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: A good with DeMarcus Lars's game in those couple of
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: plays when.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: You look as advertised, just a lot of great things,
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: but make two plays like that that really probably.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Want us the game.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: You know, if we don't, if we don't create that
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: fourth down stop, we're looking at a what is that
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: thirteen point swing? So it would have been a whole new, different,
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: different ball game if he hadn't done the things he'd done.
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: Was there ever any question he obviously missed a lot
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: of time last year when you guys signed him. Was
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: there any kind of concern about that or did you
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: can see him kind of get before you really knew
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: what you're gonna get out of him this year at all?
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: I don't think so.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: I mean, I think our medical people did a great
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: job of saying that he was ready to roll, and
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: he did a great job of being in great shape
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: and training and doing all the things. And I thought
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: we've had a great plan for him to manage his
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: workload throughout the season as well, So kind of all
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: hands on deck on that front. But I haven't Maybe
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: I maybe I should have been thinking.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: About it more. I don't know. I really feel like
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: it's it's coming together pretty good.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: When you look back on some of the free rushers
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: and you guys allowed yesterday, Sometimes they.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Bring more than you can block on it came play,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: But on.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: The times where he did have enough block because what
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: kind of did you see in those moments? Was it
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: like this call was an assignments will kind of happen
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: in those circumstances to kind of have them kind of
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: get you on those person.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: We'll attribute to them good to sign on the front end.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: Could it could have some better execution those in those
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: moments kind of everything, just a little bit better execution
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: identifying the front when they did repeat a couple of
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: those pressures, we executed a high level and we got
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: we got a couple of good plays, which was which
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: is good.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: You just want to be able to do that on
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: the front end. So things we're going to.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: Learn from and play a little bit more decisively earlier
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: in games. But a combination of good design and you know,
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: you know, we just got to play a little bit
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: better on our end. And it's really starts with the
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: offensive line making the right call. Starts in the quarterback
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: and being decisive and what to do with the ball
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: and move on from there.
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: That the line is at the center of the job.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: That set everything out well. Without giving all the details,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: we operate.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: We have our own way of operating on how we
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: handle our protections year. Some of it is by design
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: where we're not trying, like we're really trying, not trying
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: to pick up absolutely everything. You know, we want to
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: follow our rules so we can go play fast. Sometimes
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: we do have to throw the ball before the rusher
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: gets there, and that's just.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: The way the way you live.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: The trade off is is you're not stand up to
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: you know, zero dark thirty every night trying to identify
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: every rusher known to mankind, and if.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: You're wrong, you're absolutely dead in the water.
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: Which some people live that that way, and to me,
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: that's a really expensive way to live.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: So we got a great protection system.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: We've done a great job protecting Sam Minnesota had a
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: couple of great plays and we got to learn from
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: and keep it moving.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: The passes batted down on the edge. Is that just
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: as you would say cost of doing business or you
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: want to scheme out.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Of it to a certain extent.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: I mean we could be in, we could be in
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: some different plays, some different protections on those and you
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: know there's one where you know, Bengiko made a great
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: anticipatory play and Sam just played football in that moment,
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: held it and got it to the second window and
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: off we went, getting out of a backed up situation.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: So there's there's there's trade offs to it, but.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: Things we can probably put ourselves in some better situations sometimes.
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: But again credit to them on on a couple of
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: those designs that that they got the better of us
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: in those situations.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: To the defensive line, might that because of how well
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: Lawrence and Murphy and Williams are playing?
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: Did that change in midstream on how you pass rushed
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: in that season?
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Maybe you're doing things you didn't plan on doing, and
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Tunes saw.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: What they were doing.
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: Specifically.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Well.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: I think when when Adie and I came together on
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: how we want to build our front and Russian coverage mechanics.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: We're on our way to going towards that vision of
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: what Ad did so well in Dallas and how we
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: just want our defense to work where it's kind of
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: everybody at the point of attack, guys moving around, playing
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: off one another, all those things that we're trying to create.
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: I think we're doing at a high level. You know,
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: for a lot of plays, there's always plays where you
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: are saying, oh, shoot, you know, we should have you know,
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: it's kind of the cost of doing business on that
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: front if you if you're gonna let guys you know, playoff,
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: you know, not necessarily call every single movement you have.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: So there's gonna be some times where you're gonna want
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: some more, but you're also gonna get some great things
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: as well. So in terms of us not pressuring as much,
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: I'd say the effectiveness of our format and rush probably
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: does drive are you know, blitz percentage numbers. But it's
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: not like I'm thinking about that on a play to
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: play basis. You really just think about what's what's gonna
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: give us the best chance to win that particular situation.
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: I just just sand himself. How did you feel like
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: he played yesterday and obviously.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, the way that the game declared, we didn't.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: We didn't.
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: We didn't need him to drop back and chuck it
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: around the yard forty times. So we knew we needed
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: to stick with our our plan, you know, to kind
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: of ground it out there in the second half, and
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: and we executed that, and I thought we played way
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: better in the second half to help us win the game.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Even a third down exception where he's one, Yeah, it
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: was a tab about.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: Him and he get do the stuff he doesn't boss
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: and then he's out and cover.
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a great play. I know, I know he's
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: disappointed for not coming down with it, but you gotta
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: be able to move on, and you got to be
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: able to say.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: Hey, look that was a missedop.
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: That's okay, I'm gonna go reload and go play the
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: next play, and he's gonna learn from that. There's a
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: lot of great plays he put out there, and we're
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: again we're asking him to do a lot, and.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: He helped us go win that.
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: Football game from from from some of the things that
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: we're asking and doing a skill set wise, and he's
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: still understanding that.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: Look like they're gonna make plays too.
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: You know, it's just about reloading and going, you know,
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: playing our style ball one play at a time all
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: the time, and and he'll he'll get he'll get there.
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: But he's doing some really great things as well.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: On the third down.
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: He's perfectly miss receivers that he did in the NFL.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I mean you said it. It's just he's
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: shown the ability to do it.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: And so.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: If you show the ability to do something, we're gonna
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: let you go do it. And it's really pretty that simple.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: But it's pretty cool.
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: You know. He allows us to do some things in
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: the back end that we've really never been able to do.
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: So that's a it's a great opportunity for us.
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: Williams had, you know, quite a year last year. He
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: didn't make All Pro, didn't get Pro Bowl, and he
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: said that that bothered him a little bit. He's had
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: another great year. If you were to make a dumb
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: speech for Leonard Williams to get some of those rewards
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: this year or recognition, what would you say.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Well, I did think he he he was more than
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: deserving last year. So I'm right there with him.
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: Turn the tape on, show me players that are playing
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: better than him, you know, I just I'd be I'd
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: be willing to watch that tape. It wouldn't be a
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: long tape.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: One thing I can say about Leo is it's it's uh.
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: The amount that he sets his teammates up for success,
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: uh is understated, Like it's there's there's so many There's
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: so many plays where he's setting somebody else up, whether
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: he's getting doubled in the pass rush, or he's running
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: a stunt to free somebody else up, or in the
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: run game, he's making the ball go a certain direction.
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: I mean, there's at least a dozen plays every game
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: where you know, not a lot of people on the
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: in the world can make those type of plays, So
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: he deserves that recognition.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: A couple of times you said that was a bad
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: play by move? Oh yeah, what makes a bad play
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: when it comes from you, like we just obviously you
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: could just say it play, it doesn't work, bad play,
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: But like when when you kind of think about it
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: makes a bad play?
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, simple, you just put your guy in a disadvantage situation.
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: So unfortunately it happens, probably more than I want, but
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: it happens. So you know, you can you can kind
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: of say, Okay, look our guy will make the play
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: next time, which that happens every once in a while,
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: or you say, you know, we got a change course
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: and and uh and you know, put just kind of
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: go a different direction to all those things are happening
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: throughout the game. You got to just do a just
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: trust your gun on how you balance it out. But
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: I can tell you we're trying. We're trying trying our
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: tails off to help our guys as best we can.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: Just sometimes we fall short.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: Leo, there he said, maybe it's a dozen plays when
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: he's going to but you just mentioned any of those,
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: how many.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: As show up on virus takement?
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, very similar, I mean too two tremendous tackles. When
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: Jay Read's playing, he's doing a lot of the same
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: stuff as well. Byron's game is growing, you know, it's
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: it's it's on the way, uh, Leo. Right now, we're
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: probably putting him in more like position flexibility than we
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: are with Murph. Not that Murph can't do, it's just
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: Leo just is showing the ability. You know, he's just
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: had more experience and can move them around a little
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: bit more than we do with Murph. But Murph's on
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: his way he's doing a lot of great things, I believe. So, yeah,
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: doing good good. We'll see, you know, see how.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: He does throughout the rest of the week. But looks good.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: First second, the guy guy cut of lands on him.
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: Did you get the clarity on why that.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: It looks how we see rushing the past with that
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: pretty frequently.
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Unfortunately, is this less they call it? In the moment,
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: there's nothing you really can do, so but we'll you know,
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: take it with the necessary channels. But yeah, there's no
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: clarity on it.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: I think you said a few weeks ago that there
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: are some considerations of spading.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: What you're doing with that?
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: Is that happen?
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean we had him at nine technique, five technique.
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: He's playing the slot. You know, he's he's he's doing it.
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: We're putting a lot on his plate, you know. That's
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: part of my message to him is you got a
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: lot on your plate. There's a lot of expectations and
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: rightfully so you've earned that those opportunities and and go
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: prepare your tail off with the best your ability so
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: you can go, you know, play the type of brand
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: of ball that you want to play and then let
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: it rip and if something happens throughout the game, like
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: we'll fix it or we'll put you out of that situation,
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: but just go to.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: The next one and keep rolling.
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: Is different positions and sort of it almost like.
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: N yeah, we we have you have to have certain
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: ways to kind of make it easy for guys so
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: they know where to go and what to do. So yeah,
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: you just there's there's ways for us to move them around. Yeah,
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: we're we're working through that. You know, we've never really
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: had this, never had a player like him, so you know,
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: we are kind of making up as we go to
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: a certain extent and hate to admit that, but we
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: kind of are.
• 13:38
  Speaker 5: How similar or not is what he's doing what you
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: were doing.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: Well with With Kyle, we started him at safety and
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: then we moved him closer to the ball. With Nick,
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: we've really just started him at at nickel and just
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: let him go back between nickel and dime. We didn't
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: really play Kyle on the line of scrimmage like we
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: have with with Nick. That's probably a little bit of
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: a difference. Both obviously both tremendous players. I think they
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: are like there is a lot of similarities, but they
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: also have some parts of their game that are pretty
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: distinctly different that make that make their like talents come
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: to life a little bit more, you know, in different directions.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: But all positive.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, point, and why did you put him on line?
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: It's just shown the ability to do it. No, I mean,
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: like you know, put put the numbers on the board.
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: It's not you don't rule it out. But down the
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: line you said, hey, maybe we can create some some
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: fronts where he's on the line. But uh, it's just
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: shown the ability to do it.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: So it started to expand that's a type technique in
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: right there.
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: And practice him just doing it, and he's done it
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: in games like on edge pressures. You know, you're basically
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: just rushing to a nine technique because all you're doing
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: if you're rushing off the edge. So you get a
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: base block and you can sit it down, we might
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: as well just stand there and do it.
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: You know, you have to go to a lot of
• 15:10
  Speaker 5: different like position meetings during the week.
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: Or there's extra time. This is kind of like an
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: all hands on deck thing. Mean, and Jeff's done such
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: a great job with them, but you know, Jeff's coaching
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: position too, So now you start coaching from different techniques
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: on the front.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: Well, now cp A d's got them, uh meet it
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: goes with Carl and some of the dB stuff. So
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: he's he's with the dbs all the time.
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: And then all the extra stuff is you know, near
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: the line of scrimmages with some of the front guys,
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: like in pre practice and things like that.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: See Jack's handle and he's obviously been so involved in
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: most games where the balls on fight.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: Didn't appear and he was bothered by it or having
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: an issue.
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: I'd you see him handle that game?
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, our guys were great.
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: I mean, are you know I'm not on the offensive
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: sideline while we're playing defense, But the feeling you have
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: on our sideline and from what the guys are telling me,
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: is just everybody's all in, you know, trying to get
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: the mission accomplished.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: And trying to go win the game and whatever it
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: takes go win.
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: Now, every competitor is going to want to be a
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: you know, play a positive part of being an asset
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: to the team so they can go win. You know,
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: I'm sure Jack's is. Of course, he wants the ball more.
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: I mean everybody wants the ball more. Shoot, I want
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: the ball more. But they don't need to give it
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: to me. But but we've talked about this the whole time.
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: One of the things that makes Jack so special is
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: the is the day to day how he how he practices,
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: how he brings it every day, how he supports his teammates,
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: makes them a really cool teammate.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: Mike, you've talked about players playing off each other.
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: What are the introduces or the requirements for players to
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: do that.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Discipline awareness, what.
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: Are some of those things. Yeah, I think the base
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: is just a team first attitude on what we're trying
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: to achieve, so buying into the vision of how we
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: want to play.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: And then it takes a ton of reps.
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: You know, you just can't just go out there and
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: say I'm gonna you go over there and I'll play
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: off of you like you gotta you gotta get all
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: those like you know, permutations of what could happen out there,
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: and get a feel for what the player next he's
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: going to be able to do so you can play
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: off them. So again, it's one of the important things
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: on why you have to train the way we do.
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: We have to maximize reps. You gotta take advantage of
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: walk like these cheap reps throughout the week. Now that
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: we're later in the season, you can't just you know,
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: strap the pads on and bang your head again.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: Head against the wall for two hours.
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: You got to you gotta take advantage of walkthroughs and
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: film sessions and and things like that to like Anthony
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: Bradford or Anyaye ab should be good to go Wednesday.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: Who else?
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: Josh to my knowledge, cleared the concussion protocol uh during
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: the game, so expect him to be good to go.
• 17:49
  Speaker 5: From Jared, I would you expect any of the guys
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: who can come back this week to come back?
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: Those guys are under It's a possibility with with all
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: those guys. Yeah, we'll see.
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: End up kind of looking conservatively at offense and just
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: want to protect the ball. You've talked about letting it
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: rerip over and over again. Where did you come to
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: that point of view as a defensive minded coach to still.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: Be aggressive on offense. Well, I think you have to
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: be one.
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: You have to be decisive and we're playing to go
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: win the game, so you need to be explosive on offense.
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: You can't just go, you know, three yards in a
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: cloud of dust and expect to win a lot of
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: football games, so there's a time and place for that,
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: and you got to be able to run the ball,
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: but you have to have explosive run game like we're
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: still you know, we're still want more explosive runs that
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: we can go pop forty yards down the field.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: You know, we really haven't had those yet this year,
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: and we believe they're on their way.
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: You know, their safety made a great tackle on Canine
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: in the first play the second half, So that's really
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: where it stems from.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: It's just what's the best path for us to go win.
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: Snell doing I know it was a couple of weeks.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: Still he's doing well. To minology, Yeah, it's done good.
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: When he comes back, is he guard center?
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: I think we still we have to work through what
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: the lineup will look like when he comes back. Yeah,
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: anything else, okay, all right, thank you
