Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hope for the review.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
What a great response by the players. Challenge the guys
just in games. The sign of a team that's growing,
a sign of maturity is how you deal with adversity
and to come out right away and have turnovers and
have some big plays get out on us. But to
watch the guys focus, stay together, go to the next series,
go to the next play, and just continue to execute,
(00:29):
settle into our game plan and the way that we
planned to attack the Dolphins, And got to give the
Dolphins credit for coming out being ready to play right
off the bat and you know, making plays and in
all the phases really and then it kind of the
dust settled and we started to play football and we
started to battle our way back. But it's the resilience
of this group. It's the toughness, it's their commitment to
(00:51):
each other, the commitment to continuing to approve, improve our processes,
our schemes, and to execute the way that we're asking
them to.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Trevin Wallace and Christian Roseboom's roles at least pre snap
and they're playing time. What did you notice on tape
about their two performances.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Yeah, it was a really interesting dynamic where Trevin felt
really comfortable, you know, making the calls, and that was
something that we asked him to do to take on
that challenge, and you know, Christian just looked like he
was playing a little freer out there, you know, and
running sideline to sideline, making hits all the things that
we saw bringing him in here. And so flipping the
roles I thought really helped both guys settle into a
(01:28):
comfort zone in a role. And then you know, going
into our dying packages, we left Trevin out there a
little bit more and got a really fast group out
there of guys that were aggressive in the run game
and in the past game. So I thought a Gerrod
did a great job of making that decision, and you know,
he and coach Pete Hanson, you know, talked that through
and it worked out for us.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
He went to Brad about the play that Gods of
fifty three yard first, can you talk about him one
going to that and the lines of communication I'm assuming
he communicated to you and then empowering your players to
have that type of input in the game.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Yeah, I love the challenge as coaches, and you told
them I'm gonna call this early, so you better do
something with it. You know, and you know that's that's
for Rico, that's for the quarterback. You know, that's for
the defensive guys asking for opportunities. Derek asked for more
pass rush opportunities and he got a sack you know,
early on with that. And so I think that when
the players put themselves out there and make themselves vulnerable,
(02:28):
then we get to push them and we get to say, okay,
well show show me something, you know, do do something
with it. And just by the way that Rico hit
that run with aggression, it was his play mean something.
And that's the that's the approach that these guys have
to take with all of it. This is this is
your offense, this is your defense, this is your special
teams unit. Can we have the pride to bring that
(02:49):
type of energy? Can it matter that much for you?
But it was a really cool moment.
Speaker 5 (02:53):
Expound on Derek's conversation with you.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Yeah, you know, Derek just working back into this year,
coming off of last year's injury. Wanted Derek to make
sure we ramped his playtime up. You know, he was
playing seventy plus percent of the snaps you know, over
the last couple of years and he's he's feeling good,
and he asked us, and so we gave him a
few more opportunities to be out there in some rushdowns
and some different things. But he's been responding really well
(03:19):
and he's working tirelessly to make sure, you know that
he's physically ready to handle whatever we throw at him.
Speaker 6 (03:24):
Going back to the run game, and it looked like
throughout the day yesterday, guys had a lot of success
going to the right. What did maybe Rico see and
you guys saw that you liked.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
In that matchup?
Speaker 2 (03:34):
There were some front side matchup stuff for us. I
think Brady gives us an opportunity to be really fast
and displaced the front side. And then partly it was
just what hash we ended on and what run we
were going to that kind of put us in that spot.
Speaker 6 (03:47):
You know.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
It wasn't really until you know, a couple of series
where we realized we were getting a lot of positive
results over there on the front side. It does put
stress on your backside, but Damien's really stout there and
Ikey is a fantastic athletes so he can cut things
off from that standpoint. But a lot of that ended
up just being the way it played out from the ashes.
Speaker 6 (04:06):
Jimmy Warren, this guy who was waiting for an opportunity,
He got that opportunity yesterday making that big play on
fourth down. How do you foresee seeing him moving forward
here now?
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Yeah, just keep bringing him along, asking him to execute
the plan, asking him to be detailed. He'll come up
here and tell you there's a couple of things that
he needs to clean up. We knew that going in.
How's he going to handle the load? He did a
good job, you know, And I think on top of everything,
he played full speed, whether it was blocking in the
run game, using him on our Jets sweep type of things,
(04:36):
or in the past game. Making that big fourth down
was a huge confidence builder for him. And love that
Bryce had the confidence in Jimmy to go win in
the critical situation.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Thank you and Shubo. And it's what Rico did yesterday
have any impact on how you use the two backs
moving forward?
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Yeah, Tuba, We're going to evaluate him every day and
kind of see where he's at. And then you know,
with he and Rico that what I take from it
is we have two good backs and so we have
to figure that part out. That's a good problem to have,
but it's something that we have to work through.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
But you had some success in the screen game this week,
which is something you didn't struggle with earlier. What does
that open up for the offense?
Speaker 2 (05:12):
It allows us to play off of the play action passes,
the run game, those known run formations and try to
cash in on some of those screens. There was a
couple that the execution could have been a little cleaner
and we would have had a few more big plays,
you know, But you know, to get one screen going
the feel that the guy's getting out in space, Rico
having the ball in space, you know, and being able
(05:32):
to get those yards, it does give you balance in
what you're able to do.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Dave, is Jalen Coker's twenty one day to practice WWEN
the opening on Wednesday.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Yes, we're going to open up Coker's window. We're going
to throw some loads at him and kind of increase
it each day to see where he's at. We'll make
the best decision for Jalen, make the best decision for
the team. As we go forward through this week, we'll
see I'll be able to tell you that after I've
seen him on the field actually playing ball right now
he's been in RTP. They're doing a great job with him,
(06:03):
monitoring his progress, his top speeds, his endurance, just general
like physical conditioning for football. But now you've got to
go play football to be able to prove that we
can bring him out there.
Speaker 7 (06:15):
Actually once sorry Bessie, and actually once he does get
activated to the roster, that will mean.
Speaker 6 (06:20):
A decision for the for the fifty three and what
you do with that.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Had any thoughts on like how that's going to impact
the wide receiver room from a roster standpoint.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Lots of thoughts, but nothing that I want to get
into right.
Speaker 8 (06:32):
Now to just the players being vulnerable and kind of
asking for stuff. How have you seen those conversations evolved?
When did they really start to get comfortable bringing that.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
To you in bits and pieces? This is These are
conversations that Bryce and I have been having for a
long time in terms of, you know, here, here are
the concepts, and when he has an idea for how
to improve something that we've built, we want to take
that feedback. I want to make sure that whatever play
comes through the radio waves that hits his ears, that
it creates good chemistry in his mind. He's excited about
(07:02):
the play. He's excited to go execute that and that's
where we want to have that feedback. But that goes
for all the players, you know, and we asked the
We asked the offensive line now for the you know,
the year and change that I've been here, we asked
the offensive line on Friday, give give me a list
of your top eight runs that you have to see
called this week that we feel like we can execute,
(07:24):
and we asked them for that. We take that into
consideration as Brad and I are building the game plan,
but we want that kind of feedback from our guys
so that we know when they're telling us those things,
that's what they're comfortable with, that's what they're confident in,
and that'll allow them to play fast and that's an
important piece.
Speaker 8 (07:41):
During five weeks or one of the least penalized teams
in the NFL. What did you just kind of attribute
that to this?
Speaker 2 (07:48):
I think I believe it's the pre snap process on
both really in all phases, we were sloppy in ways. Offensively,
we had a twelve man I had to take a
time out. On defense, special teams, we had two different
times where we didn't have the right people or enough
people out there. Those are the things that we have
to clean up. If we're covering it up with timeouts
and those things, it just it throws the momentum off
(08:11):
and it creates a refocused moment for us where we
have to settle back in to go. But I think
it's a commitment for guys to just play with great effort,
play with great technique when you're in a good position.
Usually you don't have fouls when you're when you're in
a great position, and the secondary, it usually doesn't it
doesn't lead to a foul because you can play the
ball well. You know, when you're blocking on the perimeter
the offensive line, if you're running your feet, you typically
(08:33):
avoid holding calls because you have good technique. So it's
about these guys' commitment, our player's commitment to playing with
great technique and great leverage that allows us to play
clean football when.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
The team never comes those long odds and the things
you just mentioned is look back time maybe as a
defining moment for that team or that person, anything about
yesterday to feel like a defined a moment for Bryce
and the team.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Really for the team in general, is the style of football,
the physical nature that we've been playing with has to
match up with the execution. And while early on defensively
and offensively, early on we were not executing at a
high level and we turned the ball over. But to
settle into really good football allows that physical nature to
not get covered up by a bunch of mistakes and
(09:20):
to play that kind of football. It gives me the
permission to double down on execution, to double down on
the fundamentals and the basics of the play, the trust
factor it takes to play good football. So it allows
me to say, look at the processes. We put three
good weeks of practice together. It's led to some good football.
But it can get away from you if we're not
(09:41):
if we don't refocus and we don't have the discipline
to keep returning to that type of mentality.
Speaker 5 (09:47):
Hatchin at Jarro earlier, what adjustment did he make in
the defensive staff in general on Darren Waller, because he
went from a huge first half to no targets in
the second half.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
First and four. For most it was the pass rush
continuing to build through the second half. We got better
opportunities to affect the quarterback, which forced the ball out
to come out earlier. It was just simple execution. When
you look at a couple of his big plays, you
know it it was a communication thing on the back half,
and then it was just a technique thing where we
had two players in phase. You know, jac was kind
(10:21):
of low, we had a safety over the top, he
ran a great route, and Tua had enough time to
hit the second one that went for about seventeen or eighteen.
The big one. We just needed to communicate and make
sure we were understanding and locating where he was at
in the formation to be able to execute that. But
they talked through it, they fixed it, and then we
rushed better, and that combination kind of led to the
(10:41):
success in the second half.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
About the pre snap process a few questions ago yesterday
you said there were a few plays that got in late.
I'm curious, as a head coach and a play caller,
how was that balance for you and how difficult is
it to try to do?
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Yeah, it is difficult, but that's what we prepare for
and we try to put ourselves in those situations so
that they come up and walk throughs. We put ourselves
in and critical end of half, end of game types
of situations. On Wednesday, and Thursday, and then on top
of that, you know, for me, it's also responding to
the big play. You know, one of them happened because
Rico rips off a big run. We're all excited. I'm
(11:24):
late to get the play in. Bryce is trying to
get the guys organized. That's on me. I have to
be better in that situation. Get the personnel called. All
this stuff's happening, people are celebrating. Get the personnel. Get
Bryce the call early so as he's jogging down there,
get the guys organized in the huddle. I know we're
all excited for this great run, but we have to
get back to the huddle. The play clock starts sooner
(11:44):
than you think on those big plays, so we can
do a better job there. And then from there it's
about just making sure that the information is communicated to
the guys. Let's get out of the huddle and get
to the line so we can gather information so we're
not up against it.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Going.
Speaker 7 (12:02):
There was a moment that Derek Brown mentioned postgame where
you essentially said that Bryce would come up to him.
I'm assuming after a ton or only a back moment,
but the context being go get the ball back for
us and we'll go Were you aware that that happened,
and even just the fact that it happened, what does
that signal to you?
Speaker 2 (12:18):
I was not aware of that conversation. I'm always trying
to read our body language. How are we doing? So
I can check in with guys and just be a presence,
so we can refocus, whether it's from a big drive
in a positive way or whether we go out there
with some adversity, to make sure we have the right focus,
the right mentality. To hear our leaders talking together across
(12:39):
the ball, that's what it takes. It doesn't matter how
you end up in this situation. Can you go out
and execute one more time? Can you keep your focus
on your side while also being able to connect with
We believe we can get this done. So I'd love
to hear that they're talking together. The belief is there
and we're building on that.
Speaker 5 (12:55):
Did you guys go back and Lathan and Corey Thornton
and new roles ahead yesterday? How did those two handle.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
An increase work?
Speaker 2 (13:04):
They did a solid job. They played hard. There's some
communication things, some technique stuff that needs to be improved
by wife. They did, but love asking them to take
on bigger roles as we continue to go through this season.
See these guys contribute and help our team win. And
they handled that, they handled the responsibility of it well.
We need the execution to continue to improve.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
He mentioned the tamed what about Bryce? Was there anything
about it that was a the finding moment for him?
The way he handled the adversity.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
He's been really consistent this year on when things haven't
gone right, when there have been mistakes, when he's turned
the ball over and he's got a great look on
his face and his eyes of accountability, but also like
I'm good, let's keep going, you know, and giving me
the confidence to just continue to give him opportunities to
take the ball down the field. When he can put
the ball in his hands, we get into the red
zone to get opportunities that way. And so he's just
(13:54):
led with consistency. He has a way of going down,
sitting down, collecting his thoughts, and then coming back out
with great energy. And that's where he's been locked into
and I want him to stay there.
Hope for the review.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
What a great response by the players. Challenge the guys
just in games. The sign of a team that's growing,
a sign of maturity is how you deal with adversity
and to come out right away and have turnovers and

and the team.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Really for the team in general, is the style of football,
the physical nature that we've been playing with has to
match up with the execution. And while early on defensively
and offensively, early on we were not executing at a
high level and we turned the ball over. But to
settle into really good football allows that physical nature to
not get covered up by a bunch of mistakes and
(09:20):
to play that kind of football. It gives me the
permission to double down on execution, to double down on
the fundamentals and the basics of the play, the trust
factor it takes to play good football. So it allows
me to say, look at the processes. We put three
good weeks of practice together. It's led to some good football.
But it can get away from you if we're not
(09:41):
if we don't refocus and we don't have the discipline
to keep returning to that type of mentality.
Speaker 5 (09:47):
Hatchin at Jarro earlier, what adjustment did he make in
the defensive staff in general on Darren Waller, because he
went from a huge first half to no targets in
the second half.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
First and four. For most it was the pass rush
continuing to build through the second half. We got better
opportunities to affect the quarterback, which forced the ball out
to come out earlier. It was just simple execution. When
you look at a couple of his big plays, you
know it it was a communication thing on the back half,
and then it was just a technique thing where we
had two players in phase. You know, jac was kind
(10:21):
of low, we had a safety over the top, he
ran a great route, and Tua had enough time to
hit the second one that went for about seventeen or eighteen.
The big one. We just needed to communicate and make
sure we were understanding and locating where he was at
in the formation to be able to execute that. But
they talked through it, they fixed it, and then we
rushed better, and that combination kind of led to the
(10:41):
success in the second half.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
About the pre snap process a few questions ago yesterday
you said there were a few plays that got in late.
I'm curious, as a head coach and a play caller,
how was that balance for you and how difficult is
it to try to do?
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Yeah, it is difficult, but that's what we prepare for
and we try to put ourselves in those situations so
that they come up and walk throughs. We put ourselves
in and critical end of half, end of game types
of situations. On Wednesday, and Thursday, and then on top
of that, you know, for me, it's also responding to
the big play. You know, one of them happened because
Rico rips off a big run. We're all excited. I'm
(11:24):
late to get the play in. Bryce is trying to
get the guys organized. That's on me. I have to
be better in that situation. Get the personnel called. All
this stuff's happening, people are celebrating. Get the personnel. Get
Bryce the call early so as he's jogging down there,
get the guys organized in the huddle. I know we're
all excited for this great run, but we have to
get back to the huddle. The play clock starts sooner
(11:44):
than you think on those big plays, so we can
do a better job there. And then from there it's
about just making sure that the information is communicated to
the guys. Let's get out of the huddle and get
to the line so we can gather information so we're
not up against it.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Going.
Speaker 7 (12:02):
There was a moment that Derek Brown mentioned postgame where
you essentially said that Bryce would come up to him.
I'm assuming after a ton or only a back moment,
but the context being go get the ball back for
us and we'll go Were you aware that that happened,
and even just the fact that it happened, what does
that signal to you?
Speaker 2 (12:18):
I was not aware of that conversation. I'm always trying
to read our body language. How are we doing? So
I can check in with guys and just be a presence,
so we can refocus, whether it's from a big drive
in a positive way or whether we go out there
with some adversity, to make sure we have the right focus,
the right mentality. To hear our leaders talking together across
(12:39):
the ball, that's what it takes. It doesn't matter how
you end up in this situation. Can you go out
and execute one more time? Can you keep your focus
on your side while also being able to connect with
We believe we can get this done. So I'd love
to hear that they're talking together. The belief is there
and we're building on that.
Speaker 5 (12:55):
Did you guys go back and Lathan and Corey Thornton
and new roles ahead yesterday? How did those two handle.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
An increase work?
Speaker 2 (13:04):
They did a solid job. They played hard. There's some
communication things, some technique stuff that needs to be improved
by wife. They did, but love asking them to take
on bigger roles as we continue to go through this season.
See these guys contribute and help our team win. And
they handled that, they handled the responsibility of it well.
We need the execution to continue to improve.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
He mentioned the tamed what about Bryce? Was there anything
about it that was a the finding moment for him?
The way he handled the adversity.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
He's been really consistent this year on when things haven't
gone right, when there have been mistakes, when he's turned
the ball over and he's got a great look on
his face and his eyes of accountability, but also like
I'm good, let's keep going, you know, and giving me
the confidence to just continue to give him opportunities to
take the ball down the field. When he can put
the ball in his hands, we get into the red
zone to get opportunities that way. And so he's just
(13:54):
led with consistency. He has a way of going down,
sitting down, collecting his thoughts, and then coming back out
with great energy. And that's where he's been locked into
and I want him to stay there.
