00:48know what we're in, you k
00:50sure. Pretty good back li
00:53has so much talent, but m
00:56people would expect so fa
00:58think breeze, you know, h
01:00of everything. You know,
01:03powerful. Um, he can make
01:05hole and then obviously h
01:07threat as well. Um, you k

01:11him, you know, last year
01:14we, we, we know he can do
01:17his numbers might not show
01:19good of a back he is. But
01:21seen, um, I think in our
01:23over 100 yards. Um, so we
01:27is along with, you know,
01:29right now, both of them t
01:31really good. They're both
01:33obviously they can grease
01:35run last year's game. Um,
01:38outside. What do you thin
01:42of every week, but settin
01:44guys because if they get
01:47perimeter for sure. Yeah,
01:51you said every week, um,
01:53and gap integrity on the
01:55important. Um, especiall
01:58this, that wants to run t
02:00two guys that can do it r
02:03line, the tight ends are
02:05you know, blocking, stayi
02:07finishing plays and then
02:09some of the receivers and
02:11know, getting, getting, g
02:13box. Um, so like I said,
02:15a really good job and jus
02:1811 hats to the ball every
02:22pretty good vertical jump
02:24and one. Uh, where you, w
02:27you're planning on doing
02:29or you just see the opport
02:31Yeah, no, I was thinking
02:33you know, with, I thought
02:35a quarterback sneak, you
02:36up in that formation that
02:38would sneak it in. Um, so
02:41sneak front, the guys up
02:42play, you know, DQ and I'
02:45other. Yeah, D. C. Both o
02:48of the center and both th
02:50was just a open lane coul
02:53on the ground. So, so a l
02:55tried to jump and just, j
02:57luckily it worked out for
03:00of money because for Roge
03:02other challenges as you p
03:04he's running this offense
03:06think, uh, you know, some
03:08is just his, his, uh, his
03:11he manipulates, um, pre s
03:15into our disguise and the
03:18to understand, um, you kn
03:21and getting out of certai
03:24it to maybe a quick scree
03:26to get five yards instead
03:28Um, or, you know, switchi
03:30run away from rotation. I
03:32good job of that. And, yo
03:34he's played, played the q
03:36at a high level for a rea
03:39know, it shows up on tape
03:40into the right play, you
03:42So, um, you know, it's go
03:45part of our defenses, you
03:47to disguise. And like I s
03:49up that look just so we d
03:51give away what we're in b
03:54When Matt got hurt, we tal
03:57Dorian, if he would be re
03:59Yeah, we talked a lot abo
04:01a compliment to the way h
04:03you seen him kind of come
04:05Yeah, Dorian has played,
04:08you know, his, his physica
04:10on tape. Um, he's communi
04:14and making plays on the b
04:15he's gotten a few, a few
04:19he's led the team and tac
04:21almost flying around and
04:24And, you know, he puts a
04:26of work in and um, it's b
04:29know, kind of grow and ex
04:32So, you know, I couldn't
04:34proud of him. It's fun co
04:35to work with a guy like t
04:37of the team. Um, what's y
04:41kind of getting things ba
04:43uncharacteristic back to
04:45do you guys kind of appro
04:47I think, you know, we had
04:49um, a leadership council
04:51the main thing was just n
04:54panic. You know, we, we a
04:57as a team and obviously t
04:58that need to change for u
05:00that we want. But overall
05:02our process and we're doi
05:04to do. Um, you know, the
05:07obviously, like I said, t
05:08been there, but I think t
05:12of our team have shown up
05:14we'll, we'll go and grow
05:17you know, as long as we'r
05:18we need to throughout the
05:20result, the result on gam
05:22Yeah. At some point that
05:26Sean McDermott defense. N
05:28defense. It's stressful.
05:31understand it. Once you d
05:35Are you seeing that right
05:37his second year in this d
05:40system? Yeah, for sure. U
05:43you said last year, um, t
05:46think your rookie year, y
05:48so much and you know, try
05:50NFL defense, um, playing
05:54is different than college
05:56takes, it takes a while t
05:58into the details and under
06:01of what you're trying to
06:03once you get past that an
06:05that, then it allows you
06:07and play so much freer. U
06:09mind to kind of ease up a
06:11think about so much what
06:14opposed to what the offi
06:15to us. And you know, once
06:17that bridge, um, it allow
06:20better and really be out
06:22and communicate and fly a
06:24as opposed to, you know,
06:26getting your job done or
06:28What is it like to watch
06:31with him in games, sittin
06:33seeing like this is a pla
06:36have gotten tricked by la
06:38you now, not getting tric
06:41and reading your keys. Ye
06:44comes down to reps and um
06:47just the confidence in kn
06:49job. Um, you know, I went
06:52year, just trying to figu
06:55is and understanding what
06:57my keys are telling me to
06:59when we go back and watch
07:01we're communicating back
07:02said on the field, um, th
07:04up. But you know, I think
07:07speaking to Dorian, he's
07:10just to just to get his m
07:12know, get in the right he
07:13we go out on the field, w
07:15together as one unit and
07:17out there and just play f
07:19how challenging. Where do
07:22right now? And how is he
07:24been awesome? Um, you kno
07:27of plays for us. Um, I th
07:29the game with in the scree
07:31making a T. F. L. And, yo
07:33to get to get our first t
07:36he's a guy that came in,
07:38was really bright. Um, yo
07:41know, wanted to do all th
07:42so to see him have succes
07:45is awesome. Uh, he's a gu
07:47on and leaning on a ton r
07:51done. He's done a great j
07:53to see, you know, where h
07:56I mean, he makes so many
07:58and then the defense chec
08:00if Roger this time is che
08:03like from your perspectiv
08:05it's different every situ
08:07But how much are you like
08:11there? Okay, let's just a
08:12call, whatever they run v
08:15do you think about that d
08:17it's a, it's a chess match
08:18back and forth. Um, I thi
08:22he's seeing. So what we p
08:25understand what he's gett
08:27what he's switching to pla
08:28wants to get the ball. So
08:30back of your mind can giv
08:32of understanding kind of
08:35or what he's seeing to, y
08:36to manipulate the defense
08:39to that point, then you k
