1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,720
Speaker 1: Like I just told them, very proud to you know,

2
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:05,600
Speaker 1: to be their coach in terms of the way that

3
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 1: these guys continue to compete, Uh, the effort, the physicality,

4
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 1: you know, I thought they played specifically on the defensive

5
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:18,079
Speaker 1: side of the ball, you know, very well. Couple. You know,

6
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 1: you got your third and fourth and sixteen that we

7
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 1: give up, which is a little disappointing in a situation

8
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 1: we end up giving up points, but against their first defense.

9
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 1: I thought our guys that were in the game played

10
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 1: against their first offense, I'm sorry, competed really well, you know,

11
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 1: made it hard on them early on and really made

12
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 1: it hard on them to kind of move it all night. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

13
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 1: We were a little nervous of that as we had

14
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 1: some chips and weren't really trying to push the ball

15
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 1: down the field. Probably needed some explosives in order to

16
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 1: win that game. But for some guys that just kind

17
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 1: of came off the street to come into our building

18
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, give us great effort. It's hard

19
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 1: to get those guys all on the same page and

20
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 1: in a short period of time. But I appreciate the

21
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 1: work that those guys came in and did for us.

22
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: Three preseason games in the book. Yeah, we still got

23
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 1: to continue to get better. There's no doubt. We cannot

24
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: waste a single moment, second minute, practice, walk through, meeting,

25
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 1: cannot be wasted. We need to improve and from now

26
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: until Carolina there needs to be continued improvement. But I

27
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 1: am proud of this team in the way that they compete,

28
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 1: the physicality in which they play with. I think we

29
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 1: can if we can start there and have that as

30
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: a standard that continues to show up every time we compete,

31
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: I'll live with that. You know. We got to obviously

32
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: execute better in certain situational moments and have some guys

33
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: make some plays, you know, and some moments, But I

34
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 1: am pleased with where we're at from that standpoint. Your

35
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 1: first roster cut down coming up as a head coach,

36
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 1: I'm sure it'll be time. Yeah, yeah, it's especially as

37
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 1: your first uh. You know, so many of these guys,

38
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 1: like I told them last night, are have been a

39
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 1: part of creating our edge and who we are as

40
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: a team, And so those decisions aren't easy at all,

41
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 1: especially as a young coach doing it for the first time. Really,

42
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: those conversations aren't easy, The decisions aren't easy, but I

43
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: think I believe some guys probably help themselves out tonight

44
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: in some ways, whether it's for our team or somebody

45
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:42,119
Speaker 1: else's team, and ultimately you want to help guys continue

46
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: to further their dreams as well as obviously make our

47
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: roster as competitive as it can be. Cool. Yeah, thank you,
