Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: In the sunshine today, missed it? Yeah, what was.
- 0:10Speaker 2: True?
- 0:13Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 0:13Speaker 2: Really, you know, like have a new guy, and I
- 0:15Speaker 2: heard so many great things about him, so it was
- 0:17Speaker 2: good to finally meet him today.
- 0:18Speaker 1: You know, he got off a long flight so came
- 0:21Speaker 1: from Tennessee.
- 0:21Speaker 2: You could see one of to get his legs underneath him,
- 0:23Speaker 2: but he jumped straight in and done a great job.
- 0:26Speaker 1: When you look at tape of what jumps out.
- 0:30Speaker 2: Of you really see his ability to stay squaring between
- 0:33Speaker 2: the tackles and kind of keela ran throw hands and
- 0:36Speaker 2: get on and off blocks both.
- 0:38Speaker 1: It's cool to see. I know, it's a pretty similar
- 0:40Speaker 1: scheme Tennessee's running. Seemed like you guys are speaking the
- 0:43Speaker 1: same language already.
- 0:44Speaker 2: Yeah, a couple of things obviously, like there's tweaks and
- 0:47Speaker 2: different things how we do things. But yeah, it's kind
- 0:49Speaker 2: of he understands the terminology and it helps a lot
- 0:52Speaker 2: and keeps him ahead of the sticks.
- 0:54Speaker 1: You know what about.
- 0:57Speaker 2: No doubt like you see that on tape. You saw
- 0:59Speaker 2: what done really in the first two years for the rams.
- 1:02Speaker 2: You could see how they use him in a will
- 1:03Speaker 2: simulated pressures his ability to blit.
- 1:05Speaker 1: So I'm excited to see that come to life.
- 1:07Speaker 3: The venturables are one thing. It doesn't necessarily look.
- 1:09Speaker 1: Like he's the biggest back.
- 1:10Speaker 2: But why is he able to stay square between the texts?
- 1:13Speaker 2: What is it that at times his anticipation At times
- 1:15Speaker 2: it's reading your keys and being calm in what you see.
- 1:20Speaker 2: You know, so like as you get the run and
- 1:22Speaker 2: you keep those things, it allows you to play just
- 1:25Speaker 2: behind the ball and not get overrun and things like that.
- 1:29Speaker 2: What then can moving Tyrrell over a weak side and
- 1:32Speaker 2: he can that be good for him too or definitely
- 1:34Speaker 2: you know, like to have played last year, but yeah,
- 1:36Speaker 2: time so it was like it to me he has
- 1:39Speaker 2: the ability, like his athleticism, he can bounce from both
- 1:42Speaker 2: to both. You know, he's still communicating. He's done it
- 1:45Speaker 2: two days in a row now and has done a
- 1:46Speaker 2: great job.
- 1:47Speaker 3: What are you seeking your need that middle in a
- 1:50Speaker 3: weak side will linebacker that you haven't had against the
- 1:53Speaker 3: run so far.
- 1:54Speaker 1: I don't think it's just that position.
- 1:56Speaker 2: I think, like really and truthfully, in the run game,
- 1:59Speaker 2: it's at times it's the ability to get on and
- 2:02Speaker 2: off blocks. It's the ability to get someone down when
- 2:06Speaker 2: someone misses a tackle. You saw, like last week we
- 2:09Speaker 2: had like two I think it was three explosive runs
- 2:11Speaker 2: that really kind of got those yards for them, Like,
- 2:14Speaker 2: and those are the things you've got cut out, you know,
- 2:16Speaker 2: like someone missed a tackle, someone he keeps his feet
- 2:19Speaker 2: and he gets on the edge and the suddenly it's
- 2:21Speaker 2: another twenty yards. Those are the things to me, It's
- 2:23Speaker 2: not like one person's not one position.
- 2:26Speaker 1: I think we've got to understand.
- 2:27Speaker 2: Like how we contain a run, how we play our gap,
- 2:29Speaker 2: how we throw hands, how we get on and off blocks,
- 2:31Speaker 2: And every every week I think I feel we're really
- 2:34Speaker 2: improving in that area.
- 2:35Speaker 1: What started to look better on that front the second half.
- 2:37Speaker 2: For you guys, just the ability to contain a run inside.
- 2:40Speaker 2: We really like went back and talked about how we
- 2:42Speaker 2: set edges, how we'd be vertical up the field, get
- 2:44Speaker 2: on and off blocks, and you saw it in a
- 2:46Speaker 2: second half. That's the deepest you guys have been up
- 2:48Speaker 2: front this season in terms of health.
- 2:50Speaker 1: Just how much are you feeling having everybody available?
- 2:52Speaker 2: Yeah, you feel it because the ability to stay fresh
- 2:54Speaker 2: when the game's in the real moments, you know, Like
- 2:57Speaker 2: I'm not saying that you're putting value in different parts
- 2:59Speaker 2: of the game, but when there's times when you want
- 3:03Speaker 2: to be at your fastest rushing the passer and things
- 3:05Speaker 2: like that, when you've got that rotation and you can
- 3:07Speaker 2: take those first and second down reps off of Leo
- 3:10Speaker 2: off a Byron, off of Jaron Off a boy. You know,
- 3:13Speaker 2: suddenly when they're rolling in and it's that time getting
- 3:17Speaker 2: ready to go, you.
- 3:17Speaker 1: Know, and this defense. How important is spatial awareness playing
- 3:22Speaker 1: in space? I think it? Yeah, definitely, I think that's
- 3:26Speaker 1: that's the league today.
- 3:27Speaker 2: You know, like people are going to move you out,
- 3:29Speaker 2: They're going to push you vertically, move you horizontally and
- 3:31Speaker 2: put you in space. I think that that is just
- 3:34Speaker 2: as the game is right now. I think that's on
- 3:36Speaker 2: everyone that I think we're tackling, just the things we're
- 3:40Speaker 2: doing open field tackling, understand how you close space, how
- 3:43Speaker 2: you use your help or areas like that.
- 3:47Speaker 1: His first game back, yeah, it look real good. You know,
- 3:49Speaker 1: like he's like he had.
- 3:51Speaker 2: I think he had about thirty thirty five or thirty
- 3:53Speaker 2: six snaps and I feel like he didn't tire his
- 3:56Speaker 2: and I feel like grew into the game. You know,
- 3:59Speaker 2: like you see with him he has the ability to
- 4:02Speaker 2: do it on every down. I think the areas of
- 4:05Speaker 2: growth for him are that when he when he feels
- 4:08Speaker 2: an edge of a rush to take it quicker, to
- 4:10Speaker 2: have the ability to get himself through the gap faster,
- 4:12Speaker 2: use his hands ripped to the sky. Those things I
- 4:15Speaker 2: think they're coming. But I've seen since he's come back,
- 4:18Speaker 2: I've seen a huge jumping in because I think he's
- 4:21Speaker 2: had it. Like I said you guys last week, he's
- 4:23Speaker 2: had the ability to step back and see things, you know,
- 4:27Speaker 2: like he played a lot of snaps in training camp.
- 4:29Speaker 2: He played a lot of snaps through the spring and
- 4:31Speaker 2: then to keep going. I think he's doing a good
- 4:32Speaker 2: job Allen. He knows that he can throw deep, but
- 4:35Speaker 2: he's also gunded that short of passing in the last
- 4:39Speaker 2: couple of years. What if he's seen in where he's
- 4:41Speaker 2: willing to take shots and how he uses short you
- 4:43Speaker 2: can tell he's much more calculated now and he's his
- 4:49Speaker 2: gift and his superpowers to play off schedule. Now, I
- 4:52Speaker 2: think he's playing more on schedule at times, so he
- 4:56Speaker 2: poses a problem that we have to deal with.
- 4:59Speaker 1: You know, he's a really good play and I'm excited.
- 5:02Speaker 1: What did what could be?
- 5:05Speaker 2: I thought he'd done a great job, you know, like
- 5:07Speaker 2: you like that, Like when you've got him and Julian back,
- 5:10Speaker 2: there is the ability to rotate both ways. He has
- 5:13Speaker 2: the ability to play in the post and move and
- 5:16Speaker 2: then you feel him like I feel like he's really
- 5:19Speaker 2: improved on that kind of deep move coming out of
- 5:22Speaker 2: the deep part of the field and tackling in space,
- 5:24Speaker 2: you know, like and I felt that from him, you know,
- 5:26Speaker 2: and his ability to get the.
- 5:27Speaker 1: Ball always shows up, Like I think that that's that's
- 5:30Speaker 1: a gift of his. Would you learn about right in
- 5:32Speaker 1: the last week? Sys a lot?
- 5:35Speaker 2: Like I think his versatility is kind of like at
- 5:39Speaker 2: times he like places where.
- 5:41Speaker 1: We would use Leo, we can use Roy, you know.
- 5:43Speaker 2: So it helps us move different people around because if
- 5:47Speaker 2: if Leo has to move, other people have to move
- 5:49Speaker 2: around him. So and then then it allows us, like
- 5:52Speaker 2: I said in the second half, to say, Okay, if
- 5:53Speaker 2: you want to set.
- 5:54Speaker 1: That edge, put right there. He's going to set the edge.
- 5:56Speaker 1: You's gonna knock it back and play with length, and
- 5:59Speaker 1: he's a good job. How did you feel, like, Josh Joe,
- 6:02Speaker 1: how did you feel he? Yeah, it was cool to
- 6:04Speaker 1: see right like that.
- 6:04Speaker 2: They're the kind of like things you like that you
- 6:07Speaker 2: love about coaching, when you see someone an opportunity arises
- 6:11Speaker 2: and they just grab it, you know, like you play
- 6:13Speaker 2: with great technique, poise. Super proud of him as well,
- 6:16Speaker 2: and he had a great practice today.
- 6:18Speaker 1: How much you think connection with Carl Brooks in Alabama
- 6:21Speaker 1: helps a player like that? Maybe a long sithing that
- 6:23Speaker 1: someone else might not.
- 6:25Speaker 2: Definitely, Like I called knew him before, and definitely I'd
- 6:29Speaker 2: have to ask call about that, Like I, I don't
- 6:32Speaker 2: really know, but when he came in here, maybe the
- 6:35Speaker 2: comfort level in the room, the ability to like ask
- 6:38Speaker 2: questions when some people when they knew they don't ask
- 6:40Speaker 2: those questions, you know, Like, but you a caller with.
- 6:44Speaker 3: Josh Allen, what does a coach you got fhasis when
- 6:47Speaker 3: he gets outside? What are you telling the outside rushers
- 6:50Speaker 3: and your cover guys not to leave their guys? Where's
- 6:53Speaker 3: the fine line?
- 6:53Speaker 1: Every time?
- 6:56Speaker 3: Or to see him running for ten yards? Are you
- 6:58Speaker 3: gonna take that instead of fifty?
- 7:00Speaker 1: No doubt you have to.
- 7:01Speaker 2: I think, like every week, problems percent themselves in the game,
- 7:05Speaker 2: you know, and people's abilities in this league are they're
- 7:11Speaker 2: excellent and they all have different traits, like with him
- 7:14Speaker 2: his ability to run the ball, Like I said off
- 7:15Speaker 2: scheduled throws do present a problem, but you have to understand,
- 7:18Speaker 2: like how are we going to rush this guy?
- 7:20Speaker 1: How we rushing as one?
- 7:22Speaker 2: How do we do it, how we stay on schedule
- 7:25Speaker 2: and then on the back end, how do we play
- 7:27Speaker 2: after we like talk about it after the two point three,
- 7:29Speaker 2: Like as the first play breaks down, how do we
- 7:31Speaker 2: suddenly attack the second player of the play. When you
- 7:34Speaker 2: have a new player like Mark Cooper on the team,
- 7:36Speaker 2: but for how much do you pay test to what
- 7:38Speaker 2: he's done in the past, well versus the story amount
- 7:40Speaker 2: of time he's going. Yeah, you have to look at
- 7:41Speaker 2: that because like I feel like as as a new
- 7:45Speaker 2: guy comes into a team that is extremely talented, like
- 7:48Speaker 2: you're gonna look at what they do well and then
- 7:51Speaker 2: how you feature that in your system. You saw the
- 7:52Speaker 2: role that he had last week and it will probably expand,
- 7:54Speaker 2: and I think as we see it in the game,
- 7:56Speaker 2: where we'll get ready for that.
- 7:59Speaker 1: Everything else.
- 8:00Speaker 2: Thanks guys, I can take care
