00:00A couple days off and on to the Broncos, Coach Payton.
00:08Tremendous football team, four and two.
00:10Just had a tough game overseas.
00:14So I start with our defense, with Vance Joseph.
00:18He's really playing incredible football right now.
00:22Pressuring the quarterback.
00:24First in the red zone, first and third down.
00:28Play a variety of things with a lot of really good players.
00:33Best defenses in the league.
00:35Coached well.
00:37They're tough to block.
00:39They just held the team to under 90 yards offense.
00:41So, tremendous challenge with that defense.
00:47Coach Payton on the offensive side.
00:49He's won a bunch of games in this league.
00:52Really a good offense scheme.
00:56Bo Nix has done a good job with him.
00:59Four talented receivers.
01:01Different tight end groupings.
01:03Dobbins who can take it the distance.
01:05Another rookie running back.
01:07Productive.
01:08Do a lot of different things.
01:10Run wise.
01:11Bootlegs.
01:12Screens.
01:13You name it, they have it.
01:15And then Coach Rizzi.
01:19New Jersey native.
01:20Known him for a long time.
01:22Veteran coaching staff.
01:25Four and two at their place.
01:28Be a good challenge.
01:30In terms of injuries.
01:36So, we'll see where Slay's at.
01:38He may or may not do something today.
01:41He's getting better.
01:42He might be off to the side.
01:44We'll see here in a few minutes.
01:46Foles won't practice.
01:47Bozeman won't practice.
01:48JMS is in concussion protocol.
01:51And we're going to open the window for Victor Demukeji.
01:58You mentioned that Denver defense.
02:01Have you ever seen an outing like they just had with the negative passing out?
02:07They're impressive.
02:08I mean, they're impressive every game.
02:12They create a lot of negative plays.
02:14They have 30 sacks in six games.
02:16It was nine last week, I think.
02:18But they rotate guys.
02:22But Benito is an unbelievable pass rusher.
02:27You can't have a plan for all of them.
02:29They all can rush.
02:30I think 12 guys have at least a sack on their defense.
02:33We've got the reigning defensive player of the year.
02:35That's a corner.
02:36Sertan, Alabama guy.
02:38They're just really good.
02:40They play good coverage.
02:41They complement it with the front.
02:43They disguise well.
02:45They're as good as it gets right now.
02:50Denver really took advantage a week ago with a quarterback that was holding the ball a little longer.
02:57And then they were able to get to him and bring him down a lot.
03:00We've seen Jackson at different points hold the ball longer as well to give his guys time to get it down.
03:04But against a defense like this, is there an added point of emphasis this week in practice to get the ball to your hands?
03:10That this is maybe not necessarily a team that you can dance around with a little bit?
03:13Yeah, I think you've got to play good team football all the way around.
03:16Defense has got to complement the offense, special teams.
03:19I mean, this is a team that's four and two for a reason.
03:22Everybody's got to do their job, whether it's the quarterback, whether it's the interior part of the pocket,
03:27whether it's the receivers getting open against tight press coverage against some really good corners.
03:31It's going to take a total team effort.
03:35But they're very productive, make a mistake.
03:37They do that to a lot of teams.
03:38I'd say that, watching the tape.
03:40They're hard to block.
03:42You have to do a good job of creating some positive plays.
03:47You get in those bad situations.
03:49They made every team they've played in those situations.
03:53Not a lot of third down conversions.
03:55And there's a lot of third and longs when you watch the tape.
03:58There's not a lot of touchdowns in the red zone.
04:01They play really good team defense.
04:04Vance has done a great job for a long time.
04:07Back in Miami, Arizona, we were out against them in Buffalo.
04:10They're well coached.
04:13They've got a lot of good players.
04:15When they put you in bad situations, it's hard.
04:17And then you're on the road with a loud environment.
04:20We're going to have to play good team football all the way around.
04:23You guys have scored a touchdown of three straight opening game possessions.
04:29Which hasn't happened since 2009 for the Giants.
04:33What do you attribute that to?
04:35Because people make a lot about scripting the first X number of plays and whatnot.
04:40What do you attribute the early game success, the early touchdown drive?
04:44What do you attribute that to?
04:45And how much of a difference has that made for you guys?
04:49Yeah, you always want to get off to a fast start.
04:53And the preparation that these guys put into it and the coaches, that's important.
04:56You give a lot of credit to the players that are out there doing it and making plays.
05:00I think last week we converted on a third and eight and third and 12 or somewhere around there.
05:05Some of the other ones we haven't had many third downs.
05:08They're third and one, third and two.
05:10It's really 11 people doing their job at the level you need them to do your job at.
05:16And that goes with any drive, I know it's the opening drive, but that really goes offensive football.
05:21Any drive, you have 10 guys doing the right thing and one guy not.
05:24It could be a recipe for a very bad play.
05:26So we're just focused on trying to do our job the best we can.
05:30Take the energy around the team like Jackson, outside the building.
05:34You know, inserting Jackson.
05:36I'm sorry, where with the building?
05:38The energy around the team from outside the building.
05:40Outside the building.
05:41Yeah.
05:42With Jackson as a starter winning two of the last three games.
05:44What have you seen from the guys the last few days inside the building?
05:49Business as usual.
05:50You know, we have a very tough team to get prepared for.
05:53Look, you only have a certain amount of time and nothing really changes, Jordan,
05:58relative to preparing for a team.
06:02You know, meeting wise, film study, walkthroughs.
06:07You know, we adjust here and there whether we want to do some more red zone today or third down or do this.
06:12But focused and, you know, we've got a big challenge ahead of us.
06:17And all these guys are doing everything they can do to put themselves in a good position for Sunday.
06:22Dave, if you've got JMS in protocol, if Schloffman has to play, you know, how confident are you in him?
06:30And what did you see from him last week when he had to step in?
06:33Yeah, confident in all the guys we have.
06:34That's why they're here.
06:35So he did, you know, what he needed to do, which was come in and operate at center for us and did a nice job.
06:42So he'll get all the reps today.
06:44Last one.
06:45He's in the protocol.
06:48He's in the protocol, so that's where he's at.
06:54Is Russell still your backup quarterback?
06:56Yep.
06:57Why?
06:58Because he's our backup quarterback.
