Transcript
00:02hutch as always thanks for being with us and uh always good after a win
00:06overall looking back at uh the game yesterday against the dolphins what is your your takeaway
00:12from that game yeah man uh definitely a weird week of prep without jack but um i thought we
00:20responded really well d barnes i thought he stepped up in a great way with the green dot now
00:25um and man i thought we played really well and didn't give up a touchdown um playing at a high
00:33level right now defensively how about rodrigo too led your team in tackle seemed like he was all
00:37over the field yeah man rodrigo is always anytime he gets an opportunity out there i feel like he
00:43makes the most of it so um super super dependable dude and he uh he had a great game curious
00:50how
00:51you react to situations in games where you're clearly getting held constantly and the referees
00:58are reluctant to throw the flag as often as they should what are the interactions like with the
01:03officials when it's clear that you're being held and they're just not responding to it yeah man that
01:09game was bizarre dude it was uh it was i've never seen so many holding calls in one game like
01:15like
01:16in a like collectively even even our stuff like it was uh i think they probably had i mean miami
01:24probably had seven or eight holdings in one game which was crazy but um yeah man it's it's frustrating
01:30you know because i felt like i was had a lot of good rushes and um just just a little
01:36pull here and
01:37a pull there gets you a little bit off track and then against a mobile quarterback it's tough to kind
01:42to kind of get the line back and uh and yeah it's kind of i feel like that's what that's
01:49what was
01:49happening yesterday how pissed were you that you had malik willis in your grasp running to the
01:55sidelines and he escapes like how does that affect you mentally during the game when something like
01:59that happens yeah man it's it's it's super frustrating just trying to stay uh just trying
02:08to stay in it you know um but yeah it's just yeah it's uh but yesterday there was just so
02:16many so
02:17many times where it was just like uh as you can tell i'm still kind of pissed about it right
02:23um yeah
02:24i'm just yeah you know what's funny is when you look across at an offensive lineman and i i i'm
02:31not
02:31going to say anything about a specific uh offensive lineman that's named exactly the same as an old tiger
02:36outfielder but there was a a offensive lineman yesterday that looked like he could not handle
02:43you can you tell during a game i've got this guy not to be specific about any opponent and get
02:49yourself in trouble but can you tell in a game if you've got that guy yeah i feel like it's
02:56um
02:57it's kind of like a shooter sometimes it's like when you start getting some one-on-ones and you're
03:01winning you kind of just start heating up and i feel like the bag kind of your pass rush bag
03:06just
03:06starts to open up more the more things kind of start to hit so um it's always yeah it was
03:12it's um
03:14it's always uh when you get in that kind of flow it's always uh yeah it's it's it's great it's
03:20definitely what you want as a pass rusher so rookies got a chance to to get in the game and
03:25they have all season long but in yesterday's game three rookie defensive linemen all recorded a
03:31quarterback hit uh which is the first time i guess since they've been keeping those stats that
03:37the lines have had three rookie defensive linemen in the same game we do that with uh more anthony
03:42lucas and and sky gill howard talk about what it means to see these guys you know chopping it a
03:47bit
03:47to get their opportunities they're working hard in practice and then finally they get to see it in the
03:52game yeah man it's uh it's you know i i've been saying this since the summer like i just i
04:00i already
04:00believe that that brad brought in a ton of really good young talent in the d-line and so i
04:06was fired
04:07up i saw this in otas that i saw in camp um and yeah yesterday and really the start of
04:13the season was
04:14was uh the showcasing of that and so with with one i'm down yesterday a couple more rookies got an
04:20opportunity and i thought they uh i thought they all played really well specific to the second
04:25round pick derrick moore what makes him problematic and really what has he done in the last couple of
04:31weeks that has allowed him to be able to get two quarterback sacks yesterday yeah you know um
04:38obviously he's been that lid's been closed for a while and uh i know he was he was it's just
04:44a
04:44frustrating frustrating moment but getting those two for him i mean i thought he was like relentless
04:50yesterday and um really it's um that's kind of what i i knew this is this is the demo that
04:58i know
04:58when he came here this is like this is what he brings man power relentlessness explosiveness
05:05everything so yeah he was um he was great all yesterday man really really had a great game
05:10we've seen guys on defense get a chance to play an offense sky skyler gill howard has played a little
05:16fullback out there and goes into a maybe even a pass pattern have you lobbied drew petzing to give you
05:23a chance to uh to line up as a tight end man you know back with back when ben johnson
05:30was here where
05:31i thought we had an agreement last year two years ago whatever that was and um he never did it
05:36right
05:37and so um i've been i've been dying from my opportunity the whole line touchdown i think the issue is
05:44we got too many mouths to feed on offense you know we got too many too many studs out there
05:49that
05:50um man it'd be like subbing st brown and to get like a layup sack or something like you know
05:56i just
05:57i get it i get it but uh give me one fade ball give me one fade ball and and
06:03let me just let me let
06:05all my years as as a tight end uh come to fruition well uh the other thing is the secondary
06:12doing a much
06:12better job in recent weeks as a pass rusher do you know hey i got home because the secondary
06:20had everybody covered in what we call in our industry a coverage sack can you sense when that's
06:25happening uh really as a pass rusher all you need is is for him to just get off his first
06:35street and
06:35give you that that like half a second of time that sometimes is the difference and so yeah man i
06:45think
06:46they've been playing incredibly well and it's like i because on some of those it's you know balls out
06:52quick and the dvs and the linebackers kind of got to rally but it's like if he's gonna it's gonna
06:57be
06:57longer developing routes that's where the d line we gotta take some accountability and be like okay we
07:02gotta now we take the pressure off you guys you know if he's gonna sit back here for a second
07:06so
07:06um i think it's just both working in tandem are you do you think you guys are a team that
07:11that stunts
07:12a lot i i saw a play in the game yesterday where you just absolutely smashed down the line like
07:18you
07:19weren't even you weren't taking an angle you were like going 90 degrees to your left smashing the line
07:24so i think it was lee mcneill could come and loop around you how do you guys do that more
07:27often than
07:28other teams you think or is it something you'd like to see more of i feel like we're uh we're
07:34middle of the road i think um are you talking about like blitzes or you're talking about like
07:39d-line stunts i just d-line stunts because this was a play where i mean you just absolutely came
07:44down and crushed the uh the interior offense alignment yes i know you're talking about um yeah
07:49you know we do a little bit of stunts but i think uh you know i think it's a good
07:54change up to
07:55a half but i think for the most part i like when me and aleem can just rush straight and
07:59just play
07:59off each other and play fast i don't want to slow aleem down by trying to you know and he
08:04doesn't
08:04want to slow me down by trying to call something so i think for the most part we try to
08:07play straight
08:08up but i think calling those kind of keeps keeps the o-line honest so um they're great changes i
08:16don't
08:16i don't think we call it too much but it's more of just uh just a curveball and hudson's with
08:21us
08:2197 one all right so trade deadlines tomorrow as a player do you pay attention to what's going on
08:27around the league and who you guys might be involved with
08:32um no i don't know i'm not really on too much media right now so um i'm not sure but
08:39i uh i trust in
08:41and who we got and uh i trust in brad's decision making and and whatever he thinks we need and
08:47if he
08:47if he's going to acquire anybody or not um i trust i guess the good side of of being a
08:54a good
08:54football team is that when the trade deadline comes around it's not typically this time here
08:59you're not giving up players to acquire players you don't have to say goodbye to somebody to be
09:04welcoming somebody in is is there uh a position maybe you'd like to see fortified or an area you
09:10think that you guys can improve on um i don't know you know i i don't look too much into
09:19that
09:19man i'm just trying to uh do my job every week and make sure the guys that we got were
09:23all on the
09:23same page and we're playing we're playing well fair enough all right every week we ask for a fan
09:29question for you and for jared that we have on tuesday so kang who do we got this week all
09:34right
09:34hutch this one's from cyrus and warren and he writes clearly the wide receivers changed their
09:39celebrations every week for their first down catches he wants to know if you know what they
09:44are ahead of the games and secondly do you in the d lineman do you guys ever consider doing something
09:50like that where you celebrate the same way after each sack or a big play uh so first part of
09:56the
09:56question i do not know the wide receiver celebrations but usually saint um as the the aura farmer that he
10:04is
10:05he's usually got something cooked up so there's that and then with our d line celebrations we try
10:12to coordinate them but like it's just we can never quite get on the same page we we had one
10:19yesterday
10:19with demo where he was doing this like this this uh this pose from this anime that i hit last
10:27week
10:27and so it was uh it was fun man i i think whenever we can all just get together and
10:33do it
10:34it's a it's a blast but it's uh i don't know people just black out i think when they make
10:39a play and
10:40they just do their own thing that's typically what happens so i think we'd be remiss if we didn't get
10:44your thoughts on what happened saturday night in ann arbor oh boy uh i'm gonna i'm gonna skip
10:55don't blame you is there any one other thing real quick any update on jack or anything if you had
11:00any
11:01it got conversations with him i know last week the news was positive does it continue to trend
11:05positive from what you understand you know i haven't heard too much from being honest i think
11:12i think once we got into kind of game week the communication started going down just because it
11:17was um just trying to get guys to really focus on on the task at hand how's your german that's
11:24right
11:26oh man uh you know my best friend is german and he would be mad that i didn't know i
11:32know a couple
11:33swear words so i probably won't say those but that's about it uh and i'll just encourage people
11:38to go see the lat the latest hutch's heroes for that little guy you dressed up as spider-man i
11:44i dare

11:51been able to hang out with connor a bunch and he is literally he he loves the the spotlight man

12:05michigan game
12:05a couple weeks ago maybe and he was hitting his spider-man poses on the field and i think they
12:11they call them off the field because like obviously at some point you know they got to play football and
