1
00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:05,320
Speaker 1: Today's practice, any any reason to go inside with the

2
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:11,520
Speaker 1: weather as this outside day, Uh yeah, we'll be outside, okay.

3
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 1: And I guess just more of a general thing with us.

4
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 1: You know, you had like rare snow in late October

5
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 1: and then the mild weather. I was curious just how

6
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 1: the condition of the upper fields there are hanging in

7
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:26,599
Speaker 1: um because I know, you know, usually you're down on

8
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 1: the lower field, but with this year, with the spacing

9
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 1: of the you know that you're probably trying to work

10
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 1: with just sort of curious how the fields are holding up. Good? Good?

11
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 1: We um. Yeah, because we didn't have fans in training camp,

12
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,159
Speaker 1: we were able to balance the fields off on the

13
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 1: upper and you know, normally we with the fans, we

14
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 1: do all our work close or you know, a lot

15
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 1: most of our teamwork on them the field closest to

16
00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 1: the fans. And then this year we're able to put

17
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:04,400
Speaker 1: that up. UM try to say to the lower field

18
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,759
Speaker 1: for the end of the year, because that's heated, so

19
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: if we have, um, you know, cold or weather, that

20
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 1: we want that field to be in good shape for

21
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 1: the end of the year to deal with you know,

22
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 1: potential freezing issues. And then just one on the personnel, Um,

23
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 1: I know Jordan Thomas, the tight end there that was

24
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 1: claimed on waivers. I know he's still going through the testing. Um. Obviously,

25
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 1: personnel wise, you've had a run of injuries at the

26
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,319
Speaker 1: tight end spot, so I'm sure that's part of what

27
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 1: led you to him. But just as a player, what

28
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 1: m what does Jordan Thomas potentially you know, offer you

29
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 1: based on your scouting of him and you know in

30
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 1: college I guess and pros Alright, well, he's a you know,

31
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 1: a big kid, um, you know, has a you know,

32
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: a wide body, but pretty athletics, so he may be

33
00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: able to do some other things as well. We'll see

34
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: that goes when we get him. Um, you know he's

35
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: been in a system similar are, so well we'll see

36
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: how quickly that comes along. Thanks question Chris, Ryan Fall Big,

37
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 1: Tom Kerrn, Morning Bill, Hey Chris, Hey, al right, good um.

38
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 1: There's always a lot of discussion in games like this

39
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: about the the chess match that takes place between you

40
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 1: and an elite offensive player, and I'm curious as to

41
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: what that is like for you and what is your

42
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: your mindset or your level of enjoyment of trying to

43
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: game plan against you know, an elite player or offense

44
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 1: like Lamar Jackson. Well, it's you know, when you play

45
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: the Ravens, it's really about team defense. Um. They have

46
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: a lot of options on every play, so it's you know,

47
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: just trying to stop one thing and whatever you do,

48
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 1: they have, um a potentially an answer to it. So

49
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: if you take away way one thing, they have something

50
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:08,079
Speaker 1: else that's built into the play. So it's a lot

51
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: of post snap reads for the quarterback and and he

52
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: makes a lot of good decisions. Um, so you know,

53
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 1: they generally get the ball where they want it on

54
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: that particular play. That's you know, that's kind of the

55
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 1: way they're building. Not all plays are like that, but

56
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: they have a lot of them. So, um, you know,

57
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 1: well we'll just have to like you always do against

58
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 1: the Ravens or this type offense, you just have to

59
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: play good team defense. Everybody, you know, taking care of

60
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: their responsibility. And if you have two guys or three

61
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: guys doing the same thing or overplaying something, then you

62
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 1: know you're gonna be vulnerable somewhere else. And generally speaking,

63
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: they do a good job of hitting that because they're

64
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: they're reading and after the snap, recognizing where you go

65
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: and if you know, two guys go to the same place,

66
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: then they they put the ball where where those guys left.

67
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: So it's you know, it's a challenging um challenging offense

68
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: for sure. You know that good compliment of you know,

69
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 1: the running ball, throwing the ball, have good power plays

70
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,720
Speaker 1: and they have speed plays on the proter So I

71
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 1: have to after you're ready to deal with all of

72
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 1: it is figuring out how to address those challenges. The

73
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: thing that you enjoy most about this job, well, there's

74
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: you know, being a head football coach. You know you're

75
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: involved in a lot of things. I mean, honestly, I

76
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:48,719
Speaker 1: enjoy all of them. They're all important components to team

77
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: building and competing and so forth, whether it's the first

78
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,479
Speaker 1: season or a game or a daily practice, So all

79
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 1: the things that go into it are important. They all

80
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: add up in the final result. So you know, I

81
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 1: enjoy all the parts of the process. And you can't.

82
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:14,160
Speaker 1: You can't have good success on the field without good preparation.

83
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 1: You can't have good preparation without having a lot of

84
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 1: detail and the information you assemble got to be able

85
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,840
Speaker 1: to teach it. And you know, fortunately I have a

86
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: great staff that's really able to do most all of

87
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 1: that work. So yeah, but I enjoy all aspects of

88
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:41,039
Speaker 1: the game. Thanks Bock. Welcome next question, Tom Kerr, and

89
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 1: I will encourage anyone else to raise your hand if

90
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: you want to ask the question Bill. When you were

91
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,720
Speaker 1: just kind of referencing team building, it brings me to

92
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 1: a question that I wanted to ask about queer development.

93
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:55,159
Speaker 1: And we saw Dalton Keene as we go on IR

94
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 1: and then it was Devin as the prior week, and

95
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 1: obviously those are injuries, but it's really over the last

96
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: four years drafted players. Do you have any idea why

97
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 1: you've had a harder time getting consistent production in development

98
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 1: from the guys that you've selected in the draft. Well,

99
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 1: let's say these Look, anytime you bring a player onto

100
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:38,479
Speaker 1: your team, you put him into a role or the

101
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 1: situation that you think fits him. Sometimes you have to

102
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:42,679
Speaker 1: modify that a little bit as you get to another player,

103
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 1: and then you work work with him to try to

104
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 1: develop that and he competes with other players at whatever

105
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: position it is or whatever role it is, and ultimately

106
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 1: you choose, or we choose, I choose the best the

107
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 1: best player that competition. So that's really the process I

108
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: don't know how I let's say answer the question. Obviously,

109
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 1: each player is different, each player competes with different players,

110
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 1: positions are different, So I don't know there's a general

111
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 1: answer to that. I guess then the upshot of it

112
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 1: is that a lot of the players have been brought

113
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 1: in through the draft since twenty seventeen haven't won those

114
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 1: competitions or gained your faith and confidence will allow them

115
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 1: to play aloft these guys, certainly Michael and we knew

116
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 1: has been terrific and this year is kind of a

117
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 1: screw a year. But could Juan Williams could choose the

118
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 1: full holds to fat injuries? Obviously stidems got a ways

119
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 1: to go Dawson Draft in the second round, as you know,

120
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 1: for your team at all, I mean, there's there's plenty

121
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 1: of guys we can go with undrafted guys you collected,

122
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,119
Speaker 1: Which is I know how much you put into the draft,

123
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 1: and I know how much every team puts into the draft,

124
00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: And I guess there's a disconnect between whether it's injuries, development, competition.

125
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: So not asking a question on it and continuing to

126
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 1: write or spitball about it doesn't do us any good

127
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 1: If we don't ask the guy is in charge of it. Yeah, well, Tom,

128
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 1: it's the most important thing to me is winning games.

129
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 1: And I'm not going to apologize for our record over

130
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: the last twenty years. I mean, I've seen a lot worse.

131
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: So ultimately, we try to put the best team on

132
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: the field that we can to be competitive, and I

133
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 1: don't really see that changing. So whoever those players are

134
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 1: or aren't, that's the responsibility I feel to the team

135
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: is the competition plays itself out and the better players play,

136
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 1: whoever they are. I know you reference the last twenty years,

137
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: but over the last four really since about twenty fourteen,

138
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 1: do you think the drafting and the production of getting

139
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: drafted players has been where you'd hoped? That's my last one,

140
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 1: I promise, Yeah, yeah, Well you know, honestly, Tom, My

141
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 1: focus has been on the Ravens um right now drafting scorecard,

142
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 1: which I understand you want to write about that, which

143
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 1: is great, Um, but really trying to focus on getting

144
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 1: ready for the Ravens, So I think I'll leave my

145
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: attention on that. Yes, thanks, Next question Appan Seagal fall

146
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: by Evan Lazzar. Come mind, Bill, Yeah, um, obvious knew

147
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 1: the mar jaction is a very unique player with unique skills. Um,

148
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,199
Speaker 1: Cam Newton has some similar skills. I'm not trying to

149
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: compare the too more so than Tom Brady did. So

150
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,839
Speaker 1: I'm wondering if you think you defense going against Kim

151
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 1: Newton offense all year in practice has helped them a

152
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 1: little bit more get ready for you know, the Ravens

153
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 1: and Lamar Jackson than they did in the past twenty

154
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 1: with a different type of quarterback. Yeah. Well, we've certainly

155
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 1: seen plays that the Ravens and other teams have run

156
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: from our offense more this year than we have in

157
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 1: other years. Um, so there's a lot of plays that

158
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 1: that we've seen that you know, we didn't really have

159
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:37,839
Speaker 1: and so you know we draw them up and so forth,

160
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 1: and um, you know, there are other teams we play

161
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 1: that run plays that we might have seen more of

162
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,079
Speaker 1: in previous years than we see this year from our offense.

163
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 1: So you know, if we change our tweakyar offense or

164
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 1: defensive system a little bit, then that Yeah, there's a

165
00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 1: you know balance there. It's no different than you know,

166
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 1: four man line team or being a three man line team.

167
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 1: If you work against the one or the other in

168
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 1: training camp on a regular basis, and then you see

169
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 1: the other one during the year, then you're a little

170
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 1: bit less familiar with it, you know, on vice versas.

171
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 1: So that's I'd say, no matter what system you run,

172
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 1: there's an element of that well being on offense, defense,

173
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:25,559
Speaker 1: special teams. Whatever you run, you're you know, you get

174
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 1: more looks at that whatever you don't run. There are

175
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 1: other teams in the league that run, you know, other

176
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:35,320
Speaker 1: systems that you don't use for whatever reason, or don't

177
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 1: use very much of, and so you have to simulate

178
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 1: those to your players and you know, try to get

179
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 1: them to understand how they they need to block or

180
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 1: defend or whatever the case might be is with that.

181
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 1: But to answer your question, yes, we've we've run more

182
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 1: of those plays in our offense, and so we've seen

183
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 1: more of them in training camp and in practice going

184
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 1: against our offense. Sure. Thanks, Still two final questions, Evan

185
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:07,319
Speaker 1: Lazar and Dan Rooms. He could I just want to

186
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 1: ask you about Damien Harris and what you've seen from

187
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 1: him as he continues to develop along here. Well, I

188
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:20,319
Speaker 1: think we've talked about this several times this year, but

189
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:24,319
Speaker 1: you know, the guys going into their second year are

190
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 1: significantly ahead of where they are in their first year.

191
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 1: And Damien you know, didn't have a lot of opportunity

192
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 1: his rookie year due to the players that were in

193
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 1: front of him at his position and the health of

194
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,960
Speaker 1: those players. Um, you know, he's gotten a chance to

195
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 1: play this year and you know he's showing it to

196
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:52,080
Speaker 1: be a very competitive and productive player. Um. It's different,

197
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 1: but I'd say in a way, you know, some similarities

198
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: to James White. You know, James didn't play his rookie

199
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 1: year and then you know, had an opportunity to play

200
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 1: his second year. And again I'm not comparing the two

201
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,559
Speaker 1: players when I was saying their situations were similar and

202
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 1: that James and Damien didn't play the rookie year and

203
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 1: then when they got a chance to play in their

204
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 1: second year, Uh, you know you saw some skills that

205
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 1: those players performed, uh, you know, at a at a

206
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:25,199
Speaker 1: pretty good level. So the part of that's opportunity. Part

207
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,560
Speaker 1: of that's also you know, taking the time when they're

208
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 1: not playing in their early career to develop their skills

209
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 1: to you know, have a better understanding of what they're

210
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 1: you know, what they're doing the offense, the defense, the reads,

211
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 1: the assignments and so forth, and and you know get

212
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 1: to a higher level of training. And so Damien's done.

213
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 1: That's he's in good shape. He's came to camp ready

214
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 1: to go. He's been really a consistent player for us

215
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:58,080
Speaker 1: all year. You know, miss them little time early in

216
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 1: the year, but he's you know, when he's been out there,

217
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 1: he's been he's been consistent, he's been dependable. And last question,

218
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 1: Dan roach Hi, I just I thought on you've been

219
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 1: about a month that you guys have been able to

220
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 1: now practice on a normal basis. What have you seen

221
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 1: from the team over the course of that month and

222
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: when you were able to start practicing again after everything

223
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 1: we've basically halted there for a while, and what kind

224
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 1: of progress you've made as far as practice is concerned

225
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 1: going on? Yeah, I think we made a lot of improvement. Um. Yeah,

226
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 1: but we still as a team need we just need

227
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 1: to play with more consistency. Um. We have good, good moments,

228
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 1: and we've done some things well in some games and

229
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 1: then other things well in other games. And just say overall,

230
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 1: we can you know, develop more consistency, play closer to

231
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 1: full sixty minutes of football, good football that that would

232
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 1: that would help us. But we're definitely gaining on it.

233
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 1: I mean, we're a lot better than we were a

234
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: month ago. Now other teams have gotten better too, so

235
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 1: it's not you know, it's not like everybody's standing still

236
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 1: and we're we're moving forward. So but we've gotten better,

237
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 1: and that's the players have worked hard. They've you know,

238
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 1: recognized things that we um fundamentally need to do or

239
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 1: schematically need to do. You know, as coaches, we've i

240
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 1: think tried to respond to them, the strengths and weaknesses

241
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 1: um of our of our players, and you try to

242
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 1: utilize them accordingly. So it's certainly been a combination of

243
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 1: you know, effort by the coaching staff and the players

244
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 1: to perform better. Um. And we definitely have you know,

245
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 1: practice better, and I'd say overall we perform better in games.

246
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 1: That's not always necessarily you know, they're on the final score,

247
00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 1: but there's it when you look get a lot of

248
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 1: little things that add up on each play, um, you know,

249
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 1: more more good than what there was before. So that's

250
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 1: a good thing. And you've never had that over your career,

251
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 1: that that that kind of a faults how much you

252
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 1: that affects you, what you look back on it, course,

253
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 1: what you're trying to do as a team. You know

254
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 1: you need to be be doing this for for so many years.

255
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 1: How much did it? Did it? Did it interrupt what

256
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 1: you were doing indeed your progress as as a team,

257
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 1: as an organization. Yeah, I don't know, Dan, I couldn't

258
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 1: put a percentage on it. I would just say, looking forward,

259
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 1: we need to continue to to take advantage of the

260
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 1: whatever opportunities we have on the field, UM, in classrooms, situations,

261
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 1: film situations, walkthroughs, to continue to work on the things,

262
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 1: um to make them more consistent, to make them better,

263
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 1: to be better fundamentally, to have better results in games.

264
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 1: And so that's what we'll continue to do. I mean,

265
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 1: it's I don't know what. I don't know what how

266
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 1: to evaluate the looking back part of it. But I

267
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:04,439
Speaker 1: would say looking forward is that's that's what our plan is,

268
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:06,160
Speaker 1: and that's what we've been doing and I think that's

269
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 1: the right process. We just got to make the most

270
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 1: of it. Thank thank Coud, Thanks everyone, great, Thank you
