Chris Shula how when you scheme against Jared do you how much of it is film based I'm not asking you to give any secrets away obviously here but how much of it film based versus how much you know him yeah um you know it has been a while but uh but I think there's some instances I think we would say you know it's always a combination of everything you just try to you always have a feel for the player um stuff they you know are good versus stuff they're not um and then you kind of whether confirming on film or maybe he's evolved and all I can say is that he's been awesome since he's been in Detroit and uh Ben Johnson's done a great job with him and uh you know he he's been really good really happy for him and uh just hope to give him a good challenge on Sunday night is there anything you have to do to prepare for the noise level No it should be uh it's it's nice for us because it'll be nice and quiet we should be able to communicate with e so we should be in good shape I'm not talking scheme but when you consider the offensive line of the Detroit Lions what type of uh Challen do they present yeah you see they take on the mentality of their coach and uh you know you really felt that in 21 when they first started kind of getting the thing rolling when we played it how they run off the ball how physical they play how they play together um it's definitely a team that you know I think the whole team takes the mentality of their line and uh it's a tough team to play and a tough line to go against they're fundamentally sound they're tough they're physical they run off the ball and uh so it's a great challenge going back to Josh and Charles for just a second what have you seen from each of them in training camp in the preseason I think Sean referred to it as grown men very mature rookies uh you know ask great questions in the meeting room um guys that can kind of take it from the meeting room to the field uh it doesn't feel too big for him great g game day to meeter in the preseason now obviously it's a big difference on uh on Sunday night but uh but definitely guys that we felt really from the start whether it was OTAs and then all through training camp have been really consistent um where it comes the meeting rooms practice and uh you know guys that you definitely trust and want on your team Chris do you think you guys will explore adding U another cornerback or two or you we hav yeah we haven't gotten there yet so uh so we'll see we'll see whatever lesson Sean want to do and I know injuries are part of the game and you guys just react next man up but first you're coordinator you guys seemed with your cornerbacks to be kind of going through them getting that injury bug maybe earlier than yeah no doubt um you know and and that's just part of the deal um you know uh first year coordinator but definitely been around long enough to see that it can happen at certain spots and you just got to keep moving and uh and and be ready to go and trust your coaches and trust your players and uh trust your plan to go play at a high level no matter what happens no matter who's out there you guys have spoken high of Wallace and woods what if they're called upon what gives you confidence that they might be able to help out just exactly what they've done um over the course of time that they've been here and really you know I'm you know studying um studying Josh Wallace coming out you know at Michigan he played in the national title he played in some Big Time games um so he's been in the in the spotlight like that and uh you know he's a very really smart guy really prepared and uh so we think that we think that that both of them can go out there and execute how this couple more different for you now as coordinator how's what game plan or game week it's uh you know you're just getting into the flow um and I think it's really just the first week of any season where you know even last year um going in uh you know going into being linebacker coach again you know you just kind of get in the flow the first couple weeks of the Season getting your routine you know when do you have certain things St by when you have things done by all that type of stuff and uh you know just getting into the rhythm of it but enjoying every day was it different going through like preseason take like trying to analyze your playing calls and stuff like that too oh definitely um you know it's it's a little different than uh when you're the guy suggesting calls when you're the guy actually making the call so you know you kind of realize that uh there's a lot of stuff a lot of aha moments that I've seen of of some corks that Wade and uh and Staley and Raheem have had I'm like yeah that's definitely a reason why they did that thing whether it's in the preparation on the game day so it's been it's been fun one more you've got a it's kind of an out there question you got a lot of safeties you can do a lot of different types of things in a pinch on a game day you know with Kobe coming back from hamster issue himself is there ever conversation about hey in an emergency can one of these safeties maybe fill in on the outside or is that ever discussed among you guys yeah I mean not at length and and we know you know we have guys that certainly have the ability to do that obviously wouldn't be an ideal situation you know awesome thanks guys thanks appreciate Mike LaFleur it what's up guys it's War how you doing you were being there last year with that noise um what did you learn that you would have toight this year was expected to be similar noise yeah it's loud and you know I I do believe that uh we handled the noise really well uh starting with you know Sean obviously and just the operation getting the plan and then Matthew and and and it just takes everybody and you know uh but to replicate that doesn't just happen you know so putting the work in this week uh last week you know um has been big and uh I know our guys will be prepared what challenges does limiting uh Aiden Hutchinson present uh in his upcoming game yeah I mean he's he's a heck of a football player you know what stands out with him like a lot of those guys is just their motor I mean they just play so hard down after down 60 Minutes you know you know they're going to be Juiced up it's the first game of the year everyone's going to be Juiced up so uh it's going to be a great challenge I know guys will be ready fromon uh his command his demeanor um he's a pro he's a stud uh he's a cool dude to have in the locker room I know the players feel that more importantly uh but but he just kind of brings a calming presence you know that uh that is neat and like I said I mean he's he's just got he's a cool dude he's got swag to him uh he's tough he's played a lot of good football and you know I think for him you'll have to ask him but it'll just be uh really managing the emotions going back into that place you you know that he's had a lot of great memories you through your career mik what's been your experience with first games of the season do they a range of yeah results and performances yeah I mean you obviously have a plan of how you want to attack you know whoever your opponent is how we're going to attack Detroit but you know you got to be ready to adapt and adjust cuz it it's it's week one yeah they got the same coordinator same head coach you know um quite a few of the same players but they're you know they got a lot of new bodies on that outside right there so you got to be ready to adjust adapt you got to stick to your fundamentals trust your training and uh you know and and go compete you guys have um dealt with injuries on both sides of the ball a couple suspensions um internally as you devise contingency plans and like you said adaptability flexibility what is the conversation like um about discussing those plans and then also like your approach in kind of trying to stay calm through Waters again injuries happen this game it's it is next band up and that'll never change in this in in football and if you're if you're worried about the injuries and you're worried about the wrong stuff it's about getting the other guys prepared ready to play obviously we talk about all those things who should be playing where who should be getting work where if this guy were to go down you know I mean that that's never ending in any building that we've been in feel like we've done a good job of that we've prepared in my opinion the right way in terms of you know be to have the right guys on the right field at the right time prepared and ready to go when you go ahead when you consider uh the anti ipation that that's building um as you get ready to to call a game what's your pregame ritual well I'm not calling it so you know you can ask that one with Sean but uh you know it's it's again just trus in your process as a as a play caller you know Sean goes about it in such a uh process oriented way working on it every day leading up to Sunday so when she get to Sunday it's not the F like you don't feel like it's the first time you've called that game the way you practice the way you prepare so um you know it's a it's it's a fun experience doing it and and you know it's really fun when you got number nine pulling the trigger too speaking of injuries last year K had said last week that last year going down in the playoff game was such a difficult emotion for him he felt like the running game was really going sure can you take me back to where you were cuz that's a real time moment you got to move ahead and you know it's funny you ask that because because the season had ended you know say an hour later I never had that conversation with K you just kind of you just go you know he went down it it sucked for him you weren't thinking about if we do pull this out we won't have him next week like that didn't matter in the moment you know what mattered is hey Ronnie's in there we trust Ronnie he's going to get his job done and Kiron trusts Ronnie and and Ron trust uh Ronnie and and this whole team does so in that moment you know you you hurt for the player because you want you want them out there but uh ultimately again you just keep pushing through do you guys are always confident but does it feel for lack of a better word a higher sense of confidence knowing not just he's healthy but with Blake and and with Ron yeah I mean then feel really confident about that that our our back field again it starts with those guys as humans as people and what they've done throughout their entire career not just in the league but also you know their position coach he's an absolute stud of a of a human and uh he's the stud of a coach you know so I know those guys um they respect him and and that's a tight tight niit group and uh a lot of confidence mik I know Friday's a work day for you guys but are you thinking you might get to catch any of Matt's Game in Brazil what time do they play I have no clue so it's uh today's Thursday we play or they play tomorrow so yeah I mean we'll we'll see you know I mean you know Friday's historically in in most buildings every building I've been in you you know you it's kind of a faster Friday obviously you get these guys off their feet let them enjoy their families and friends and you know have a night and get some dinner whatever so um depending on what time that game's at you know I'd like to watch it but it's not my priority five as long as my kids don't want to watch Disney obviously had a big game last year in the playoffs against the lines are you expecting anything different just in their terms of their approach to limited half um yeah I don't I don't know about what their approach I mean they're they're uh they go after you and attack you either way you know so I don't I don't know if their approach will change that much they're just going to challenge their guys like we're going to challenge our guys again uh so much respect for what this this crew in Detroit did a year ago um they were a quarter away if not even shorter from playing in the Super Bowl as we saw and you see it because they're well coach and they have great players that play hard so you know we'll see what their approach is I'm you know no assumptions you know we'll we'll just kind of adjust and adapt as we go thanks guys
