1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:04,519
Speaker 1: A little bit more people here than last week.

2
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:12,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, statistically, the red zone offense has improved dramatically since

3
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 2: since the bye week. Just what do you attribute that

4
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 2: to and what challenges have you guys been able to

5
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 2: overcome there?

6
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 1: I think, you know, just more shots on goal. I

7
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:26,080
Speaker 1: think it's probably helped with just being down there, more

8
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:33,479
Speaker 1: better execution probably from within the normal field as you

9
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 1: get into the red zone, to just get more shots

10
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 1: on goal down there. And you know, you've always wanted

11
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 1: to kind of remain balanced in the red area so

12
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 1: often you can get there and even myself, you know,

13
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 1: you want to get the ball in the end zone

14
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: right you're you get a little antsy and want to

15
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 1: throw it in quickly or whatever it is. And I

16
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 1: think just trying to remain patient as you get down

17
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 1: into the red zone and making sure that you come

18
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 1: away with points is the biggest thing. So, you know,

19
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:06,960
Speaker 1: I think our coaching step has done a nice job

20
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 1: of of kind of tightening the red zone plan each

21
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: week so that we can continue to use carryover plays

22
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 1: from the plan and but also have a few red

23
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 1: zone specific plays based on how the defense changes and

24
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,960
Speaker 1: what yard line it changes at, creating a lot on

25
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: the line this one.

26
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 2: How big can be to have this game at home?

27
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 1: Huge, you know, got to throw back Unis back up

28
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: and you know, great opportunity for our for our organization,

29
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 1: for the city, for the fan base to come out

30
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 1: and help support. And you know, as much as they're fans,

31
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 1: you know, fans of us, we're fans of them, you know.

32
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 2: From from all of us want to continue.

33
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 1: To put a product on the field that everybody can

34
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: be proud of and entertaining. You know, we are in

35
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: the entertainment business, and I got to believe that our

36
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: players are going to play their tails off, you know,

37
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: for our city on Sunday, close past Rush Bliss in

38
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: terms of their personnel.

39
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 3: But also send five six seven guys.

40
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a ton.

41
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,919
Speaker 1: I mean, Lou Lou's been doing this at a high

42
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 1: level for a while and got a lot of respect

43
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 1: for him, not only as a coach but as a person.

44
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 1: And he definitely is game plan specific within some of

45
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 1: the roles and responsibilities he has his players in and

46
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 1: not quite obviously like Arizona in terms of the structure,

47
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 1: but in terms of some of the uh frustrations and

48
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 1: things that it can cause. You from a game planning

49
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: standpoint can be similar in a lot of ways, where

50
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: you know, like you said, there's they'll rush for, they'll

51
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: rush by, they'll rush six, the rush seven, and you

52
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 1: don't quite always know when it's going to happen. It's

53
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 1: that's why they've they've been pretty good. So something that

54
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 1: we have to be patient with throughout the week in

55
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: terms of the plan and and going out on Sunday

56
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: and hey, look it's we may not always be perfect here, guys,

57
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 1: but let's just make sure we're communicated from a protection standpoint,

58
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: and hey, understand where your quick element throws are in

59
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: case maybe we do miss something that we have to

60
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 1: get the ball out and be able to kind of

61
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 1: live and play another day.

62
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 3: In regards to Jonathan Taylor, what stands out about his game,

63
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,399
Speaker 3: it seems like he's good everything.

64
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely one of the more talented players in the league.

65
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:33,239
Speaker 1: If you try to arm tackle him, you know, that's

66
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: that's not exactly a recipe for success. You know, he

67
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 1: can take them eighty and ninety and he also can

68
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: get some of the tough hard yards and in the

69
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: past game they've used him I think at a pretty

70
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: good click This year as well, so very talented. We

71
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: have to be at our best this week in terms

72
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: of clamp tackling, pursuit to the football. It's gonna truly

73
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 1: take all eleven when it comes to getting him down

74
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: on the ground as a.

75
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 3: Quarterback yourself, have you ever heard of quarterback playing with

76
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 3: a fibular fracture?

77
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 1: I mean I think, yeah, you know, I have seen

78
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 1: some crazy stuff in terms of what you're able to

79
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 1: play with at the quarterback position, especially if you know

80
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: you understand that as a staff and try to mold

81
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 1: the the plan to let them go operate without maybe

82
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 1: putting him in you know, situations where you're asking him

83
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 1: to go and do too much without knowing that. You

84
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:39,039
Speaker 1: know the players are going to happen scrambles movements, but

85
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 1: you know he's playing at a high level all season

86
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,359
Speaker 1: this year. They've protected him at a really high level

87
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 1: as well. I think their old lines played played well

88
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,799
Speaker 1: this whole season, so it's definitely doable.

89
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 2: D Jones, you talked.

90
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 1: Earlier this year about quarterback development and timing and circumstance

91
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: meaning a lot for Dames.

92
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,160
Speaker 2: I mean outside looking in. Why is the timing a

93
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 2: great example?

94
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: He's always been a very natural pure passer, Like the

95
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: ball comes off of his hand really well.

96
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:15,119
Speaker 2: I think that his footwork.

97
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 1: And like show his shoulder balance, his balance of his

98
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,840
Speaker 1: body position this year is.

99
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 2: Much much improved.

100
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: Like he's just always throwing from a good foundation in

101
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 1: base not getting leaned one way or the other. The

102
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 1: ball is able to come out when his back foot hits,

103
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,839
Speaker 1: and it's been very accurate for the most part this season.

104
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: So you can definitely tell that he put a lot

105
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: of work into himself in the offseason program and their

106
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 1: coaching staff there has definitely done a nice job of

107
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 1: collaborating to get the.

108
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 2: Best out of him, and you're seeing that.

109
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 1: So they've got they've built it to have some good,

110
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 1: you know, skill players around him as well. The old

111
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 1: line's playing at a high level. So when the quarterback

112
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: can kind of just go play free and it doesn't

113
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 1: have to all be you having to make every single play,

114
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 1: that typically ends up leading for a little bit more

115
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 1: success for the quarterback.

116
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 2: You guys early.

117
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 3: And you're.

118
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I think that you look at the

119
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: Chargers game and then you go to Arizona and then

120
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 1: you you know, obviously win the game the other day,

121
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: and is it perfect, No, But I think the guys

122
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 1: understand that what we're trying to do throughout the week,

123
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 1: even though limiting some of the practice full speed reps

124
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 1: is we had a meeting about it this morning with

125
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,799
Speaker 1: the players and coaches is like our individual during the week,

126
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 1: Like it can't just be edds like everyday drills and

127
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 1: just go do you know whatever to get them loosened up.

128
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 1: Like everything that we do on the grass has to

129
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 1: be super intentional for some drill, a fundamental, a technique

130
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 1: that needs to show up for this game to win

131
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:09,160
Speaker 1: this game on Sunday and also to improve, right if

132
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: there's fundamentals and techniques at every position that ultimately you're

133
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: trying to improve upon, and I want our coaching staff

134
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 1: and players to be very deliberate about that throughout the

135
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 1: week of practice in preparation this week, you know, knowing

136
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 1: that you still got to save their legs and their

137
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 1: bodies and be smart with them. But we don't have

138
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 1: any time to waste out there, and I think our

139
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 1: players and staff have done a nice job of that

140
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: so far. Part of a wins ten in a row.

141
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 1: I've never yeah no to answer your question, and look,

142
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 1: you know the message to the team today was I'm

143
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: sure you guys are all going to ask them the

144
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 1: same question. And every year is a new year, every

145
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 1: team's a new team, and I think we understand that

146
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 1: we're different. Everything's new and different and every years is different.

147
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think you can hold on to that

148
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 1: as a something in your back pocket as a as

149
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 1: a player. But ultimately, we got to go beat the Colts,

150
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 1: this year's Colts and this team on Sunday, and you know,

151
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 1: hopefully our crowd and fan base is a big part

152
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 1: of that.

153
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 2: Do you mention it for a game?

154
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 3: We don't want to be the.

155
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 1: Team loose, he says, Nah, no, no, no, it's not

156
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: anything that I'm thinking about.

157
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 2: I hope our players are not thinking about that either.

158
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 3: Like when a pass rusher kind of gets on a

159
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 3: rule or gets in a groove.

160
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I think confidence is a hell of thame.

161
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 2: Momentums hell of the thame.

162
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 1: You know, when you're able to go play freely and

163
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 1: not be thinking about you know anything, you know, guys

164
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: just going out and playing and letting a rip. And

165
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 1: you know, once you start to get a few and

166
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 1: you get next closer to the queue and you're affecting

167
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 1: the game that momentum we all feel like everybody feels

168
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 1: and in all three phases, and you know that when

169
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 1: you get people in known passing situations, well there's a

170
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 1: different feel. Now, there's a little bit of a different

171
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 1: vibe to knowing when the coverage and the trust that

172
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,960
Speaker 1: maybe that rusher those guys have up front in the

173
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 1: guys behind them that they're going to be able to

174
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 1: be in the right positions to do their jobs to

175
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 1: help those guys be able to go up front. I

176
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 1: think that's some of the stuff you're seeing in terms

177
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 1: of the back.

178
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:32,439
Speaker 3: End defensively for you guys countering the various skilled players

179
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 3: that they have on offense. What did you think of

180
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 3: Jory and Jordan both on the field together this past weekend?

181
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 3: Moving forward? And then of course obviously if you get

182
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,680
Speaker 3: Eric back, how does that back durings the matchup?

183
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you know both of those guys. Obviously,

184
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 1: Jordan was just coming back. Jarian's done a really nice

185
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: job in his absence in a lot of ways. So

186
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 1: you want to continue that ascension and that development because

187
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 1: it helps us on the grass on Sundays, either whether

188
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 1: it's tackling, whether it's coverage, whether it's making a play

189
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 1: on the ball, communication, So you've got to be unique

190
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 1: and creative in terms of rep count, packaging and making

191
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 1: sure that you're getting your best eleven on the grass

192
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 1: as much as possible. And then, like I mentioned with okay, safeties,

193
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 1: is it, dime, is it, you know, little, whatever those

194
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: packages are to ultimately get guys in positions to do

195
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 1: what they do best. And I think that that's been

196
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,959
Speaker 1: a work in progress and hopefully something we can continue

197
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,439
Speaker 1: to build off of Tyler Warren.

198
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 2: To air with that.

199
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean like the play that I don't know

200
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 1: if you guys saw the play that he made at

201
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 1: the end of regulation against that land on the fourth

202
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 1: and two. I believe it was where they kind of

203
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 1: got bluffed into a zero check. He throws the flat

204
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:55,559
Speaker 1: route out there. Then Nickel is literally in the best

205
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 1: position that you could possibly be in to make a

206
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:01,559
Speaker 1: play to end the game, and Daniel puts it up

207
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 1: to Tyler like right up here, and he just eats

208
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 1: the ball and makes the play and throws the guy

209
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,439
Speaker 1: off of them, and like right, They're gonna make some plays,

210
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 1: there's no question. But I think that if we can

211
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 1: get some of our you know, whether it's LB's.

212
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 2: Safeties, whatever it is.

213
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 1: From a matchup standpoint, we've got to go get hands

214
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 1: on these guys a little bit more and try to

215
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 1: stop them early in the down. That's why the coverage

216
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:34,079
Speaker 1: and the rush is so important. From your tight end room,

217
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: the game coach they plays for Britain Shrane see morison

218
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 1: Er gets So is that just fundamentally something.

219
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 2: A part of your offensive.

220
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 1: Steam where you're going to feature multiple guys in the team.

221
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 3: Yeah.

222
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 1: I think it's just a good example of guys stepping

223
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 1: up and making plays when their numbers are called. And

224
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 1: you know, Brenton's a guy that we've wanted to continue

225
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 1: to get more to as a player that you know,

226
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 1: when he catches the ball can do something.

227
00:11:57,559 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 2: With it, right.

228
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 1: And the more you can get those guys in space,

229
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 1: the better, and it allows you to be a little

230
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 1: bit more balanced than the run in the past when

231
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,680
Speaker 1: you have twelve personnel and tight ends that can do both.

232
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 1: So all those guys have made some made a play

233
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,680
Speaker 1: for us at some point this season, and you know,

234
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 1: hopefully to continue to use those guys maybe in more

235
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 1: you know, twelve thirteen, whatever it is to get those

236
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:26,079
Speaker 1: guys on the grass. What Cole van land And has

237
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 1: done this year, Yeah, pretty impressive, you know, the guys

238
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 1: just he doesn't say a ton, but he cares a

239
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 1: lot and and really prepares the right way, doesn't flinch

240
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 1: when his when his numbers called, and and has really

241
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 1: helped us get to the point of where we're at

242
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: right now. You know, I think he played pretty darn

243
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 1: good on Sunday as well, So you know, he's a

244
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 1: guy that everybody trusts, believes in, and really happy to

245
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 1: have him right now.

246
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 3: Ever, said this game everything that because it's the next

247
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 3: game up, or because there's a different deal with this matchup.

248
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I think that it's we all kind

249
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 1: of know what's riding on these kind.

250
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 2: Of games, right, division games in December.

251
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 1: You know, the season doesn't end one way or the

252
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:22,679
Speaker 1: other on Sunday, right, and it's just that it's our

253
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 1: next opportunity against a very quality opponent that just so

254
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 1: also happens to be in our division. And we were

255
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 1: all fighting for it, right Like, we're all fighting to

256
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 1: stay up there and to compete each week to give

257
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,320
Speaker 1: yourself a chance at the end of the year. But

258
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 1: your ops are starting to get a little bit smaller, right,

259
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 1: You just the windows starting to close in terms of

260
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 1: opportunities on Sundays. Our players work really hard from all

261
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 1: year round for these opportunities on Sunday, and to know

262
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 1: that as you get into December, well you're only getting

263
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 1: so many more of these. We're gonna practice a whole

264
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,479
Speaker 1: heck of a lot more than we're gonna play, ultimately,

265
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 1: so taking advantage of the ops that are here, and

266
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:10,839
Speaker 1: you know, hey, we got to go seize the moment

267
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 1: as well. Attic, But which Florida getting me brand liney?

268
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Brad is.

269
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 1: Brad's one of the smarter guys coaches I've been around

270
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 1: at any level, true teacher of the game. I learned

271
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 1: so much from Brad in terms of the way that

272
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 1: he saw the game, the way that he would He

273
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 1: is one of the more detailed organized coaches I've been

274
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 1: around in terms of his process throughout the week, his

275
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 1: checklists throughout the week, and then his game plans to

276
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 1: be able to go and cause issues for people. It

277
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 1: gave me problems every day in practice. It's multiple, you know,

278
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 1: and he knows how to scheme people up.

279
00:14:58,280 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 2: He does.

280
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 1: And so aside from that phenomenal person in human being,

281
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 1: you know, really adds to everything that somebody's going to

282
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 1: be about in that place hopefully is going to be about.

283
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 1: And I'm really happy to have those guys is as neighbors.

284
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 1: Our families were very close, and I mean Brad's from

285
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 1: Rhode Island.

286
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 2: Like we're high school rivals.

287
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: So it was crazy that two coordinators in the SEC

288
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 1: we're both from Rhode Island. And you know, I was

289
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 1: a couple of years younger than Brad, but like I

290
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 1: went and watched Brad play.

291
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 2: I think I was in eighth grade.

292
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 1: He was playing at Bishop Hendrick in high school with

293
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 1: Will Blackman, and my dad was the head coach at

294
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 1: Salve and we were going there to scout and watch

295
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 1: those guys play. I still remember Brad with his big

296
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 1: neck role playing linebacker and full back there. So we

297
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 1: go way back and we're very close.

298
00:15:59,400 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 3: Yeah,
