WEBVTT - Kyle Shanahan Reflects on 49ers-Cowboys Rivalry Through the Years | Press Pass

0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:03.640
<v Speaker 1>Right injuries for today. Jimmy Garoppolo will not practice. Ambry

0:00:03.680 --> 0:00:09.240
<v Speaker 1>Thomas now practice, John Jennings limited ankle, Sampson Um limited ankle,

0:00:09.440 --> 0:00:14.600
<v Speaker 1>and kin Law limited knee. Go ahead, Williams and most arresting.

0:00:15.480 --> 0:00:22.919
<v Speaker 1>UM another good Greig green Lawn had to come out

0:00:22.920 --> 0:00:26.840
<v Speaker 1>of the game. Briefly, What was the upshot of that? Ah,

0:00:26.880 --> 0:00:32.400
<v Speaker 1>he's good now? How what were your impressions of just

0:00:32.440 --> 0:00:34.880
<v Speaker 1>watching the Cowboys on Monday night and where they're coming

0:00:34.880 --> 0:00:38.240
<v Speaker 1>in offensively? UM? I mean that they're a good team.

0:00:38.280 --> 0:00:40.720
<v Speaker 1>They've been at all year, probably looked at their best

0:00:40.720 --> 0:00:43.919
<v Speaker 1>on Monday night, Um, which you expected him to UM,

0:00:44.000 --> 0:00:46.400
<v Speaker 1>just with atmosphere and everything, But I mean they've been

0:00:46.400 --> 0:00:49.200
<v Speaker 1>good bye for a while and just watch him this week.

0:00:49.280 --> 0:00:51.640
<v Speaker 1>It's reminds me of their team from last year and

0:00:51.800 --> 0:00:55.040
<v Speaker 1>only improved. When you think back on that game last year?

0:00:55.120 --> 0:01:00.720
<v Speaker 1>What um, when it was a big win for us,

0:01:00.920 --> 0:01:03.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I hated how it ended, how close it

0:01:03.160 --> 0:01:04.360
<v Speaker 1>got at the end. You know, I thought we made

0:01:04.360 --> 0:01:07.320
<v Speaker 1>a few mistakes that um made it closer than needed

0:01:07.360 --> 0:01:11.160
<v Speaker 1>to be at the end. But UM, not much. Don't

0:01:11.240 --> 0:01:15.199
<v Speaker 1>don't related much of this year? What stands out about

0:01:15.200 --> 0:01:18.160
<v Speaker 1>their defense? Um, I think starting with their D line,

0:01:18.240 --> 0:01:20.199
<v Speaker 1>I mean it's just Dan Quinn jumps off the tape

0:01:20.240 --> 0:01:22.039
<v Speaker 1>to me there, Um, the way he gets those guys

0:01:22.080 --> 0:01:24.040
<v Speaker 1>to move. I mean, they got some real good rushers.

0:01:24.080 --> 0:01:26.640
<v Speaker 1>Everyone knows about Lawrence and Parson, but I mean there's

0:01:26.640 --> 0:01:29.560
<v Speaker 1>not one bad one there. Um. The way that they stunt,

0:01:29.680 --> 0:01:32.119
<v Speaker 1>the way they can create one on ones. Um, there's

0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:34.240
<v Speaker 1>a reason their number one and getting into the quarterback

0:01:34.319 --> 0:01:37.119
<v Speaker 1>with sacks and pressures and um, it does jump off

0:01:37.160 --> 0:01:43.160
<v Speaker 1>the tape or is every matchup? No, I think everyone's unique.

0:01:43.360 --> 0:01:46.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't think that matters much. I mean, if you've

0:01:46.280 --> 0:01:48.960
<v Speaker 1>been coordinated and coordininating in the league for a while,

0:01:49.040 --> 0:01:51.480
<v Speaker 1>you whether you know someone personally or not, you've got

0:01:51.480 --> 0:01:53.560
<v Speaker 1>an idea of what game days like with them just

0:01:53.560 --> 0:01:58.280
<v Speaker 1>from film. Um. I mean I think Dan's did a

0:01:58.280 --> 0:02:01.920
<v Speaker 1>great job just suggin like you always us and UM.

0:02:01.960 --> 0:02:04.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean they've evolved a lot coverage wise, and they

0:02:04.120 --> 0:02:05.760
<v Speaker 1>used to always do their three deep similar to ours,

0:02:05.800 --> 0:02:07.640
<v Speaker 1>and UM, now it's more of a match three deep,

0:02:07.640 --> 0:02:10.360
<v Speaker 1>which is a little bit different. But um, coaching the

0:02:10.360 --> 0:02:12.160
<v Speaker 1>front that same way and getting them to play and

0:02:12.200 --> 0:02:14.640
<v Speaker 1>just mixing coverage is a little bit differently. He goes

0:02:14.639 --> 0:02:16.600
<v Speaker 1>a long run and just a lot of the big

0:02:16.680 --> 0:02:20.600
<v Speaker 1>chunk plays and in particular Brandon, I you was leading

0:02:20.600 --> 0:02:23.280
<v Speaker 1>away with it some of his block What makes him

0:02:23.280 --> 0:02:26.320
<v Speaker 1>such a good blocker position? UM? I mean, I think

0:02:26.360 --> 0:02:28.080
<v Speaker 1>it always helps when you have length and size, and

0:02:28.120 --> 0:02:30.960
<v Speaker 1>I think he does have that. UM. I think it's

0:02:30.960 --> 0:02:32.959
<v Speaker 1>the mindset of all our guys, though I think we

0:02:32.960 --> 0:02:34.520
<v Speaker 1>we do have a lot of good players. What I

0:02:34.560 --> 0:02:38.160
<v Speaker 1>like to say separates us from most from other teams

0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:41.920
<v Speaker 1>with good players is, um, are good players really blocked

0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:44.679
<v Speaker 1>to UM? Whichever one of our five guys has the

0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:48.280
<v Speaker 1>ball to other four blocking as good as anyone, and UM,

0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:51.120
<v Speaker 1>Brandon does that as good as anyone. But I think

0:02:51.160 --> 0:02:55.520
<v Speaker 1>all our guys do also effective. Aren't after the cash?

0:02:56.120 --> 0:02:58.600
<v Speaker 1>How much do you consider that as you're making play calls?

0:02:58.600 --> 0:03:01.160
<v Speaker 1>And because I'm not just to get again all but

0:03:01.360 --> 0:03:05.679
<v Speaker 1>getting the same yeah always. I mean, it depends on

0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:09.080
<v Speaker 1>your personnel. What guys are better at, UM depends on

0:03:09.120 --> 0:03:12.080
<v Speaker 1>how people are playing you. UM. I think we're pretty

0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:15.400
<v Speaker 1>balanced from a personnel standpoint that you've got guys that

0:03:15.440 --> 0:03:17.320
<v Speaker 1>are good at underneath stuff, guys that are good at

0:03:17.360 --> 0:03:19.239
<v Speaker 1>over the top stuff. Guys are good in zones, guys

0:03:19.240 --> 0:03:22.400
<v Speaker 1>are gonna man so, UM, we do that schematically and

0:03:22.400 --> 0:03:24.000
<v Speaker 1>and then teams play us a lot of different ways,

0:03:24.040 --> 0:03:30.560
<v Speaker 1>so you kind of just let them pick their poison ways.

0:03:30.600 --> 0:03:33.320
<v Speaker 1>But how much is that sort of make him even

0:03:33.320 --> 0:03:37.600
<v Speaker 1>better than most any time that, Um, you're a threat

0:03:37.640 --> 0:03:41.080
<v Speaker 1>on zone checkdowns and you're a mismatching man coverage. I mean,

0:03:41.080 --> 0:03:44.560
<v Speaker 1>that's ideally what you want from all three of the

0:03:44.600 --> 0:03:48.120
<v Speaker 1>positions who catch football's tight ends, receivers, running backs. We

0:03:48.320 --> 0:03:50.720
<v Speaker 1>were Nick talking about when you kind of ding him

0:03:50.720 --> 0:03:52.800
<v Speaker 1>a difference line of my end of game and you

0:03:53.160 --> 0:03:55.680
<v Speaker 1>laun from him. You've talked about like showings in which

0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:59.040
<v Speaker 1>rends bad ways sometimes? Is that creep? I mean obvious

0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:00.880
<v Speaker 1>some of it's pretty planned, But how much are you

0:04:00.920 --> 0:04:03.800
<v Speaker 1>doing it fewer motivation? How much of it is just

0:04:03.880 --> 0:04:06.640
<v Speaker 1>kind of happens in the moment. How how do you

0:04:06.680 --> 0:04:08.840
<v Speaker 1>go about that? I think most of it just happens.

0:04:08.960 --> 0:04:13.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean it's UM, I think maybe how you do

0:04:13.320 --> 0:04:16.560
<v Speaker 1>it can sometimes be to get a reaction from people,

0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:19.040
<v Speaker 1>But I mean it's it's very simple with me because

0:04:19.040 --> 0:04:20.920
<v Speaker 1>it all just goes off with what I see on tape,

0:04:20.920 --> 0:04:24.080
<v Speaker 1>And UM, I'm pretty consistent with that. You know, if

0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:26.360
<v Speaker 1>I if I see something good or bad, I just

0:04:26.480 --> 0:04:29.040
<v Speaker 1>start coaching. And so it depends who's in the room.

0:04:29.279 --> 0:04:31.200
<v Speaker 1>Defense guys aren't always in the room. I get that

0:04:31.240 --> 0:04:33.000
<v Speaker 1>the most on Saturday nights. I get it on our

0:04:33.000 --> 0:04:35.640
<v Speaker 1>team meetings on Wednesdays and Fridays. The offense gets it

0:04:35.680 --> 0:04:38.760
<v Speaker 1>all the time. Um. But I am pretty consistent with that.

0:04:38.839 --> 0:04:43.159
<v Speaker 1>And but when you don't get talked about much in

0:04:43.200 --> 0:04:47.039
<v Speaker 1>front of the whole team, guys do. It's crazy. I mean, guys, Um,

0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:48.640
<v Speaker 1>You've got a lot of grown man that they hear

0:04:48.680 --> 0:04:51.120
<v Speaker 1>their name in a big room and it's just they

0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:54.359
<v Speaker 1>get real nervous, which is crazy. You asked them to

0:04:54.360 --> 0:04:56.240
<v Speaker 1>break down that they talk NonStop, and then you asked

0:04:56.240 --> 0:04:57.680
<v Speaker 1>them to break down the team one day, and it's

0:04:57.720 --> 0:05:01.080
<v Speaker 1>just like crickets. It's so it's Um, I think it's

0:05:01.120 --> 0:05:05.000
<v Speaker 1>good practice for everybody to be in those situations the line.

0:05:05.000 --> 0:05:07.279
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if you said posts names specifically. Okay,

0:05:07.320 --> 0:05:11.520
<v Speaker 1>now I'm gonna lee to fire under um. Yeah, but

0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:13.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean it's also with everybody's human nature. I mean,

0:05:13.800 --> 0:05:15.440
<v Speaker 1>we've been we won a lot of games in a

0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:19.000
<v Speaker 1>row and done some good things, and UM, I think

0:05:19.040 --> 0:05:21.760
<v Speaker 1>it's easy to look over things, but that's that's your

0:05:21.880 --> 0:05:23.640
<v Speaker 1>your goals and just to win those games. Your goal

0:05:23.680 --> 0:05:25.920
<v Speaker 1>is to be the last team standing, and you've gotta

0:05:26.120 --> 0:05:29.559
<v Speaker 1>get better each week at that. And um, sometimes human nature,

0:05:29.560 --> 0:05:31.120
<v Speaker 1>when you've won so many games in a row, people

0:05:31.160 --> 0:05:33.360
<v Speaker 1>stopped looking at how to get better. They think they've

0:05:33.440 --> 0:05:36.160
<v Speaker 1>they've arrived, and you just you need to show them

0:05:36.160 --> 0:05:37.600
<v Speaker 1>on the tape and you need to speak it because

0:05:37.600 --> 0:05:39.440
<v Speaker 1>players aren't always seen it that way. They watch their

0:05:39.440 --> 0:05:41.280
<v Speaker 1>assignment what they're doing, but they don't always see the

0:05:41.279 --> 0:05:44.640
<v Speaker 1>big picture. And it's our job to show them that, um,

0:05:44.960 --> 0:05:47.120
<v Speaker 1>what what they need to do to carry out their

0:05:47.200 --> 0:05:49.320
<v Speaker 1>job at the highest level. And I want every single

0:05:49.320 --> 0:05:52.720
<v Speaker 1>person to play the top of their ability. And um,

0:05:52.880 --> 0:05:56.640
<v Speaker 1>nobody's perfect, So I'm always striving to get guys play

0:05:56.720 --> 0:06:00.320
<v Speaker 1>better Saturday they play Monday night. How much is having

0:06:00.320 --> 0:06:02.360
<v Speaker 1>advantage as far as timing a little ut your time

0:06:02.400 --> 0:06:05.839
<v Speaker 1>and you guys don't have to um, I mean I

0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:08.000
<v Speaker 1>think it can be advantaged. Sometimes it could be a disadvantage.

0:06:08.160 --> 0:06:11.520
<v Speaker 1>So I know the obvious ones. Um that you know

0:06:11.520 --> 0:06:15.480
<v Speaker 1>you get less rest less time to recover. Um, you know,

0:06:15.560 --> 0:06:18.560
<v Speaker 1>I love having more time and stuff. But and sometimes

0:06:18.760 --> 0:06:20.679
<v Speaker 1>you feel like you can't play those Thursday night games

0:06:20.680 --> 0:06:22.120
<v Speaker 1>and you get to it and your team is just

0:06:22.240 --> 0:06:25.000
<v Speaker 1>off the wall because um, they just they haven't so

0:06:25.200 --> 0:06:27.720
<v Speaker 1>down at all and um by this time. And I

0:06:27.720 --> 0:06:30.520
<v Speaker 1>don't think it is about recovery. It's about detail, and

0:06:30.520 --> 0:06:34.360
<v Speaker 1>it's about executing, and it's about playing at a high level. Um,

0:06:34.560 --> 0:06:36.920
<v Speaker 1>once you get to games, especially in the playoffs, that recovery,

0:06:36.960 --> 0:06:39.479
<v Speaker 1>I mean people forget about pretty quickly. And just watching

0:06:39.520 --> 0:06:42.279
<v Speaker 1>the Rams last year, I mean they beat the Cardinals

0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:43.880
<v Speaker 1>as good as anyone, and then they flew all the

0:06:43.880 --> 0:06:46.279
<v Speaker 1>way to Tampa and I think they were up zero

0:06:46.279 --> 0:06:49.520
<v Speaker 1>at halftime. So um, I don't think it means anything.

0:06:50.360 --> 0:06:53.560
<v Speaker 1>Challenges defending, he's had coming up and down season, but

0:06:53.600 --> 0:06:56.400
<v Speaker 1>he looked really good. Yeah, Dak has always been a challenge.

0:06:56.440 --> 0:06:59.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean, Dak is when you're a pure pocket passer

0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:01.520
<v Speaker 1>who can make all the throws in there and read

0:07:01.520 --> 0:07:03.000
<v Speaker 1>the defense real well and get the ball to the

0:07:03.080 --> 0:07:05.680
<v Speaker 1>right spots and do it accurately. Um. That's why he's

0:07:05.680 --> 0:07:07.920
<v Speaker 1>had the career he has. And when things do breakdown,

0:07:07.960 --> 0:07:09.320
<v Speaker 1>he's got a knack for how to get out of

0:07:09.360 --> 0:07:12.440
<v Speaker 1>that pocket. Makes some off schedule plays and um, that's

0:07:12.440 --> 0:07:16.040
<v Speaker 1>why he's had such a successful career so far. The

0:07:16.160 --> 0:07:18.640
<v Speaker 1>fung season, he had some real flash plays early in

0:07:18.640 --> 0:07:22.360
<v Speaker 1>the season, and you know, popularity going and want to

0:07:22.360 --> 0:07:24.400
<v Speaker 1>be in probole and all that. How do you think

0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:26.400
<v Speaker 1>he's played throughout the course of the year. Um, I

0:07:26.440 --> 0:07:28.160
<v Speaker 1>think he's. I mean, he's had a hell of a year.

0:07:28.200 --> 0:07:30.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that's why he's gotten everything he deserves. But

0:07:30.800 --> 0:07:33.160
<v Speaker 1>but just like that question when Nick earlier, like he's

0:07:33.200 --> 0:07:35.080
<v Speaker 1>plays on the number one defense, has made a number

0:07:35.120 --> 0:07:38.760
<v Speaker 1>one a lot of plays for us. Um, but in everything,

0:07:38.800 --> 0:07:41.240
<v Speaker 1>we're challenging to get better and things and all those

0:07:41.280 --> 0:07:43.080
<v Speaker 1>guys go up and down through some stuff. I thought

0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:46.160
<v Speaker 1>he had a good game last week. Um, but I

0:07:46.200 --> 0:07:47.760
<v Speaker 1>still want to see his best football, and I think

0:07:47.800 --> 0:07:50.920
<v Speaker 1>that's ahead of us challenges. Is there tight end? I

0:07:50.920 --> 0:07:55.160
<v Speaker 1>mean two touchdowns on last game and not just yeah, no,

0:07:55.280 --> 0:07:57.480
<v Speaker 1>he's he's he's a good player. Um. He does a

0:07:57.520 --> 0:07:59.960
<v Speaker 1>really good job of stretch stretching the defense vertically, gets

0:08:00.000 --> 0:08:02.160
<v Speaker 1>down the seams very well. And DA does a really

0:08:02.160 --> 0:08:04.440
<v Speaker 1>good job of hitting him when he's open. So um,

0:08:04.560 --> 0:08:06.200
<v Speaker 1>when you have the route running ability in the hands

0:08:06.200 --> 0:08:08.520
<v Speaker 1>that he's got in the quarterback he's got it's he's

0:08:08.520 --> 0:08:11.480
<v Speaker 1>a problem. A lot of your offensive players talked about

0:08:11.840 --> 0:08:13.640
<v Speaker 1>they are being more meat left on the bout. How

0:08:13.720 --> 0:08:16.880
<v Speaker 1>much more progress have you gotten towards that. I think

0:08:16.920 --> 0:08:20.160
<v Speaker 1>we've got a lot more, um, But I mean still

0:08:20.200 --> 0:08:22.160
<v Speaker 1>solid a ton. I mean last week it was it

0:08:22.240 --> 0:08:23.880
<v Speaker 1>was a good game, you know, just on eight of

0:08:23.880 --> 0:08:27.520
<v Speaker 1>the nine possessions and stuff. But um, sometimes you've got

0:08:27.520 --> 0:08:29.920
<v Speaker 1>to make some big plays to overcome some things that

0:08:30.280 --> 0:08:31.840
<v Speaker 1>we should have done a lot easier. And I think

0:08:31.880 --> 0:08:33.440
<v Speaker 1>we did that a number of times through the games.

0:08:33.440 --> 0:08:35.839
<v Speaker 1>So I think we overcame a lot of stuff. But um,

0:08:35.880 --> 0:08:38.800
<v Speaker 1>I still feel the same way you broke down into

0:08:38.800 --> 0:08:44.120
<v Speaker 1>the offense this. Um, is there one player from that game? Um? No,

0:08:44.679 --> 0:08:51.640
<v Speaker 1>there's there's a lot of place. UM. Sorry, rating after

0:08:51.679 --> 0:08:56.800
<v Speaker 1>we're watching, there's like seven of them probably tied. Um

0:08:56.840 --> 0:08:59.800
<v Speaker 1>I really I really wanted to hit that post or

0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:03.720
<v Speaker 1>across the middle. Um. There's a couple of things on defense,

0:09:04.200 --> 0:09:07.360
<v Speaker 1>one on special teams, but I'm not gonna get any

0:09:07.400 --> 0:09:12.240
<v Speaker 1>more detail than that. It's hard not to but a

0:09:12.400 --> 0:09:16.559
<v Speaker 1>very good ker regardless of regular season preseason, but he

0:09:18.240 --> 0:09:21.720
<v Speaker 1>playoffs in his career, and I think thirty five extra points.

0:09:22.160 --> 0:09:24.480
<v Speaker 1>Does that tell you anything more about him that you

0:09:24.520 --> 0:09:28.920
<v Speaker 1>know when the pressure is the highest? Oh? Yeah, I

0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:31.920
<v Speaker 1>mean right. Also, he's been one of the best kickers

0:09:31.960 --> 0:09:34.760
<v Speaker 1>of in our generation. I mean he's been extremely consistent.

0:09:34.800 --> 0:09:36.880
<v Speaker 1>You see how long he's been doing it, And UM,

0:09:36.920 --> 0:09:38.920
<v Speaker 1>when it comes to the playoffs, that's the most important thing.

0:09:39.000 --> 0:09:42.240
<v Speaker 1>And I feel like he's always gonna make it regardless

0:09:42.240 --> 0:09:45.120
<v Speaker 1>of what game it is. Um, that's how he's He's

0:09:45.120 --> 0:09:48.360
<v Speaker 1>given us that feeling in these six years. And UM,

0:09:48.440 --> 0:09:50.000
<v Speaker 1>I guess it makes sense that I even feel stronger

0:09:50.040 --> 0:09:53.520
<v Speaker 1>in the playoffs about it. Spencer started in the game

0:09:53.840 --> 0:09:57.079
<v Speaker 1>this year is how has he grown? And see at

0:09:57.080 --> 0:09:59.679
<v Speaker 1>this point we're just we're excited with how he came

0:09:59.720 --> 0:10:02.760
<v Speaker 1>in and really UM tried to get that spot, especially

0:10:02.800 --> 0:10:04.720
<v Speaker 1>with some guys heard you got a ton of reps

0:10:04.760 --> 0:10:06.640
<v Speaker 1>at it back to O T A S and training

0:10:06.679 --> 0:10:09.199
<v Speaker 1>camp and he's come in and been thrown into the

0:10:09.240 --> 0:10:11.880
<v Speaker 1>heat of battle. Had one setback with the ankle injury

0:10:11.920 --> 0:10:14.720
<v Speaker 1>I think about a month ago. Um, but he's also

0:10:14.760 --> 0:10:17.240
<v Speaker 1>had a real good guy behind him and Dan and um,

0:10:17.280 --> 0:10:19.280
<v Speaker 1>every time Dan goes in he does a good job too.

0:10:19.280 --> 0:10:21.280
<v Speaker 1>So he's been pushing him throughout the year. And I

0:10:21.280 --> 0:10:23.880
<v Speaker 1>think it's been great Spencer to make it through all

0:10:23.920 --> 0:10:26.640
<v Speaker 1>this year. How long it is for these rookies, um

0:10:26.679 --> 0:10:28.280
<v Speaker 1>to do it at a high level. And I think

0:10:28.280 --> 0:10:31.160
<v Speaker 1>he's continued to get better and uh, I still think

0:10:31.160 --> 0:10:34.640
<v Speaker 1>he can get a lot better than also from the

0:10:34.720 --> 0:10:36.920
<v Speaker 1>nineties with Cowboys and Niners now get to play the

0:10:36.960 --> 0:10:38.600
<v Speaker 1>back to back years in the playoffs and sort of

0:10:38.679 --> 0:10:41.920
<v Speaker 1>rekindle that. Yeah, I mean, I think that's how rivalries happen.

0:10:42.120 --> 0:10:45.319
<v Speaker 1>And you guys knew it from the eighties when it

0:10:45.400 --> 0:10:48.080
<v Speaker 1>started out, And I mean I did remember so much

0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:51.360
<v Speaker 1>in my childhood from sixth grade to ninth grade because

0:10:51.400 --> 0:10:53.319
<v Speaker 1>I was here to ninety four. So it was the

0:10:53.320 --> 0:10:55.960
<v Speaker 1>biggest rivalry in football to me growing up. And then

0:10:56.040 --> 0:10:57.640
<v Speaker 1>usually that goes away when you don't meet in the

0:10:57.640 --> 0:10:59.959
<v Speaker 1>playoffs a bunch. And um, we had a big game

0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:01.600
<v Speaker 1>last year, We've got a big game this year. So

0:11:02.160 --> 0:11:05.360
<v Speaker 1>the more you do that, the bigger it gets. Again generally,

0:11:05.360 --> 0:11:10.360
<v Speaker 1>what have they shown you this year? Um, I mean,

0:11:10.440 --> 0:11:12.319
<v Speaker 1>I think the pride they've taken in everything. I mean,

0:11:12.320 --> 0:11:14.760
<v Speaker 1>those guys, Um, those guys are the hardest on themselves

0:11:14.760 --> 0:11:17.800
<v Speaker 1>out of any position. Group we have, UM, they always

0:11:17.840 --> 0:11:20.120
<v Speaker 1>are looking to get better. They're always any time they

0:11:20.120 --> 0:11:22.800
<v Speaker 1>missed something. They're they're hard on themselves. UM, the way

0:11:22.800 --> 0:11:26.000
<v Speaker 1>that they practice, the way they do individual UM, that group.

0:11:26.200 --> 0:11:28.360
<v Speaker 1>You know, Chris has done an unbelievable job with that group.

0:11:28.800 --> 0:11:32.559
<v Speaker 1>Trent being the older guy and um, you know, the

0:11:32.600 --> 0:11:36.320
<v Speaker 1>superstar of the line position, He's been an unbelievable leader

0:11:36.400 --> 0:11:39.640
<v Speaker 1>just by how he works and practices and plays, and

0:11:39.640 --> 0:11:41.760
<v Speaker 1>and then all the guys to me, just every time

0:11:41.760 --> 0:11:44.120
<v Speaker 1>that they've struggled with something, they've corrected it the next week.

0:11:44.200 --> 0:11:47.520
<v Speaker 1>And um really just focused on football all year and

0:11:47.559 --> 0:11:52.079
<v Speaker 1>they've played at a very high level. All Right, thanks guys,
