• 0:01
  Speaker 1: When you when you went back and watched that one.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: When it comes to the turnovers and everything, what kind
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: of stood out to you the most about Sam's playing
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: on that front, kind of having to listen times. Yeah,
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: then it's overall, there's just way too many turnovers going
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: on as as an offense, and between myself, between Sam,
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: between the whole operation, it's it's not gonna help us win,
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: So we got to be way better there is. Is
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: there anything in particular with the one that you had
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: last week to.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Kind of stand out to you and come and through
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: it between them? Or is they each kind of their
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: own thing in a markedly different way. Yeah.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: I just I think that there's there's times where we
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: had listen to our feet and move on in a progression,
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: and I think everyone is a little bit different. I'm
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: not gonna talk about every one of them, but there's
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: definitely room for improvement there.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: Have you seen Sam just kind of bounce back this week?
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: Or I think that's why he's had such a really
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: good season, because he's the same guy every day he's
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: whether he's having success or or it's not going as
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: good that he's always the same and he's really impressive
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: on the.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Sideline and ready to move on.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: And uh, I think that's that's that's why he is
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: who he is, and that's how most great quarterbacks are
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: is you know, they just they stayed the same Christian
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: to come in in that particular situation with one yard.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Buying the first person. Then after the years, what do
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: you think grow?
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, small sample size, but was happy with with where
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: he started. And you know, we're excited about him. He's
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: a good young player and we got we're you know,
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: if he has to go in there and play, we
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: know he's gonna do a great job.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: That's It's it's twelve turnovers in the last four games.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Yet an he kind of log at what that that
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: kind of stands out like it like it's first half
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: of the season.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: It wasn't like super big profit for what do you
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: what do you see the last four games? It's like that?
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you know, backed up a couple of
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: games ago, struggled, Uh interceptions game after that, you know,
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: bad play selection, bad execution, just things you can't do
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: and win. Our defense has been playing great and a
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: game like like the last one, you have four turnovers.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Normally not that close for our guys did a great
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: job of fighting back all the way to the end
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: and give us a chance to win. I also think
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: is you know, when when the bad stuff happens, you know,
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: things can go one of two ways, And I thought
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: our guys really responded well, So I was very pleased
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: with that. One of the things that A J said
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: today was that he couldn't wait to get back on
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: the road and get back on the track. Is that
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: usually what.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: You hear from Grice wanted to get back on the road.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: What do you see from the guys when you're track? Well,
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: I think it's just starts at the top with with Mike,
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: the way he prepares the team and gets him ready
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: for the environment that we're going to play in, just
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: the way that he communicates to us in the team meetings.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: I think he does a phenomenal job of just preparing
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: the team. And then our guys have been able to XQ.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Weve got shot at about grazable. But his toughness, where
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: does that all the traps? Yeah? Grays Gray's little gangster.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: I mean he's tough.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: See him on the sideline after the game, you see
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: the look in his eye of you ask him how
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: he's doing, and you can just tell the way he
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: looks at your way he talks to you that.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: That he's going to get back as soon as he can.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: In So that's been something really impressive from him all along,
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: and obviously something that's been developing into him at a
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: very young age.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: And we're really lucky to have that on our offense.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: I mean, it certainly didn't look good when it happened
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: to see him.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: Already kind of getting back out with you guys a
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: few days later.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: How big a boost stuff for you guys?
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, big boost And credit to him for working his
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: tail off to get back and our and our training
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: staff and you know, fortunate it wasn't it wasn't worse.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: What do you feel like where you're at with the
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: run game right now?
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: I feel we're improving. I've seen massive improvements. I've seen
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: detail improve and we're never going to be where we
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: want to be, but I do think that it's becoming
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: a part of our offense that continues to get better
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: we can.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: I mean, Mike said he's earning more opportunities. What do
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: you see it from him specifically? What's he doing?
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Same thing? I see improvement from him? I see detail
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: in his work. I see him putting really good practices together.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: I see that from all of our but Ken especially improve.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Well.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: I think just like with all our guys, there's things
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: conversations that we have that don't need to be said
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: to everybody, but uh, just just the details of his
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: game and and and being able to uh, you know,
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: just taking taking things that go, taking things from practice
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: and taking it to the game. You know, sometimes you
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: get to the game and you kind of fall back
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: on some old habits. So I think he's done a
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: good job of taking his practice habits to the game.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: What do you think of how old's plaid the first
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: part say one more time? Sorry, Oh, I think uh.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: I was not surprised by the way he played, which
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: was which is well, you know, he was ready for
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: the moment. He's played before, he's he's been in these games.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: But as far as the operation of the offense, we
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: didn't miss a beat with him in the game.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: You see the difference, you guys, we've not over just
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: in general versus when they have a week of the
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: pair and then playing versus when they're thrown in and
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: the game and the guy gogain.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, because I think every players a little different.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Some guys are some guys are better with with less,
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: you know, and some guys need need a whole week.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: It's just on the individual. And I think obviously our roster,
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: like the people that John has given us.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Are just so prepared and they're ready to go.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: That's part of the NFL is is losing guys and
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: having guys go in and you can't miss a beat
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: with them. So I'm really excited about the death we
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: have on a roster an elite. I think to your
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: defensive line guy can cause so many big problems for
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: an offense.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: What about Simmons makes his game maybe you need compared
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: to like Donald or some other guys you see him
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: through the years, like the way he doesn't.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: I just think the the the athlete and how disruptive
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: he is every down you know he can he can
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: put you in a negative play. So uh, we had
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: to be aware of where he is on every single down.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: The barner sneak what happened on.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: That play we did not execute as an offense. Coaches players,
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: we uh, we were not on the same page. So
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: missed opportunity. Who was the different they getting the game
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: the coaches paid with that players.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Well, we rent together.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: When when I screw up, it's all our problem. When
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: they screw up, it's my problem. You know, it's a
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: it's a group deal.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Uh, I got one more.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: When you're calling plays like for Ken, I mean, you
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: guys have had a lot of runs that haven't really
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: gotten off the ground.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: Do you kind of have to trust that a guy
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: like that, who can you know, break off any long
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: run than any moment.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: Do you kind of have to trust that eventually he's
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: gonna break He's gonna find some room and cut off
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: the big game.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, Just keep giving opportunities and then you know that
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: he's gonna make a big play. I think that's what
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: most most most really good backs as they get stronger
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: as the game gets gets going. So I have that
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: faith in George, I have that faith in Zach and
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: and I have that faith in Canine.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: A couple of weeks and now do you feel like
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Rachiet's kind of fully up the speed with you? Is
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: he's still trying to get the ground running a couple
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: of things, and how do you feel that process is?
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: Come on, I think he's had a really fast start
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: and he's.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: Continued it, so I think I think we're not Uh,
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: he's just back to playing ball, you know. I don't
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: think we were missing and beat with him in the
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: game at all.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: First three trips to red zone with pre field goals,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: you can go back and up with the secret I saw.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: I saw just chances to win the game that that
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: we missed, you know, by not getting points. Like you said,
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: we didn't execute when it mattered the most in the
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: red zone. So that's an area that we got to
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: improve on if we want to win
