1 00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:03,520 Speaker 1: So first, do you think there's a chance that Balinger, 2 00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:06,320 Speaker 1: Neil and Brettison will be back next week? And where 3 00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:09,120 Speaker 1: do you thinks stand with disease? Yeah, I think all 4 00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:12,039 Speaker 1: those guys are improving. Um, you know, they'll have three 5 00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:14,720 Speaker 1: good days of treatment here coming up, and you know 6 00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:20,680 Speaker 1: we'll see where we're at on Monday. After watching the film, 7 00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:22,479 Speaker 1: did you think any of the guys who filled in 8 00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:27,120 Speaker 1: a filled in on Sunday stood out? Did anybody stand out? 9 00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,720 Speaker 1: I was playing? Well, yeah, I'd say all those guys 10 00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:31,720 Speaker 1: that that you know haven't been playing a lot that 11 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:35,520 Speaker 1: we're forced to play, um, compete it. Well? They played hard. 12 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,720 Speaker 1: There's certainly things we can improve on, but those guys, 13 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:42,800 Speaker 1: you know, those guys competed hard. Why was the offense 14 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 1: going so deliberately on the fourth quarter drive after Dallas 15 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:50,120 Speaker 1: went up. Yeah, I think we were just trying to 16 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:52,159 Speaker 1: call plays that that gave us the best chance to 17 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,360 Speaker 1: stay you know, two dimensional and not just making a 18 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,760 Speaker 1: pass game. They're being down um fifteen, you know, we 19 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,920 Speaker 1: had a set time we want to score by. Uh, 20 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:03,520 Speaker 1: you know, are the times we could have been a 21 00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,839 Speaker 1: little faster, sure, but I think we wanted to execute 22 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,080 Speaker 1: and give ourselves a chance to move the ball down 23 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,920 Speaker 1: and score, and we got to a third and put 24 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,679 Speaker 1: us behind the sticks a little bit. And then the 25 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 1: last one that we have is do you think you 26 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:19,880 Speaker 1: should have mixed up the approach on third downs to 27 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,920 Speaker 1: last man and blitzing since Dallas was having success? Yeah? 28 00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 1: I think. I think Wink and the staff do a 29 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 1: good job of talking in between series and um, you know, 30 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 1: calling the things that they think are going to work. Um, 31 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:33,840 Speaker 1: you know, not just on third down, but on each 32 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,120 Speaker 1: and every down, and and trying to execute it the 33 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,720 Speaker 1: best we can. The first one I wanted to ask 34 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 1: about was O'Dell. Uh. There was a report out there 35 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 1: that he's visiting you guys before the Cowboys, and their 36 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 1: visit is December five, So is there anything you could 37 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 1: tell us about when he's coming in here and why 38 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 1: you guys have taken maybe a little bit more measured 39 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 1: approach than some of the other teams that are falling 40 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 1: all over themselves trying to recruit him. Yeah, I just 41 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 1: I'd keep that in house right now. Rye. Um, that's 42 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 1: kind of where we're at with it. Okay, Um, you 43 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:10,640 Speaker 1: would you even confirm that he's coming in for a 44 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 1: visit this week or you without saying the day or 45 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,120 Speaker 1: you can't do that. Yeah, no, I'm gonna I'm gonna 46 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 1: talk to Joe here. Joe's out on the road, Um, 47 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 1: you know at some schools. So Joe and I will 48 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 1: reconvene later today. Got you. Um, when you look back 49 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 1: at the tape, Uh, did you see that fourth and 50 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 1: one as a possible touchdown Brian? Not just the first down, 51 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 1: but a throw there that could have been a touchdown 52 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 1: for you guys? You never know what you know? You? 53 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 1: I never I never go as far as saying that 54 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,800 Speaker 1: because obviously you have to execute the entire play and 55 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 1: there's Chase, but I thought we had an opportunity to 56 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 1: convert it and keep the chains moving with your pass rush. Uh. 57 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 1: You you would know this probably better than anyone as 58 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 1: a guy with an offensive background. Cavon at five quarterback hits. 59 00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 1: Dex had a game recently with five quarterback hits. Leo 60 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 1: had a game against Seattle a five quarterback kits. So 61 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 1: you guys are hitting the quarterback but not getting sacks, 62 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,239 Speaker 1: and I'm wondering how much of a difference that is. 63 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,520 Speaker 1: How much you guys need to finish those plays because 64 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,920 Speaker 1: obviously pressure is good, but pressure on second and two 65 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 1: is leads to third and two, not third and nine 66 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 1: like a sack. So how big is finishing these plays? 67 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 1: How much do you need to actually get the quarterback down, 68 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 1: not just pressured. Yeah, well, I do think we're doing 69 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 1: a good job of getting him off the spot and 70 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 1: you know, making him throw it faster than he wants 71 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 1: to throw it. But obviously, when you can get the 72 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 1: quarterback down and you can move the offenses behind the 73 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 1: sticks and put them in you know, more passing situations 74 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 1: on the next down, that's always helpful. Okay, Maddie, I'm 75 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 1: happy to let anybody else go, and then if I can, 76 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 1: I'll ask a couple at the end for some other guys. Yeah, 77 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 1: we'll come back around to you. Thank you, Maddie and Valentine. 78 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 1: Jeremy you sorry, Dave's how are you this morning? Good morning? 79 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 1: How are you? Dude? I gotta go through my list 80 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 1: and see what hasn't been asked here. Sorry, as if 81 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 1: you ask you again, Uh, let me let me ask 82 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 1: kind of a big picture question your seven and four. Um, 83 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 1: you've got a shot at the playoffs here beginning of 84 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 1: the year that might have surprised a lot of people. 85 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,719 Speaker 1: Do you look at the big picture and remind guys 86 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 1: that they still have, you know, a good opportunity in 87 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 1: front of them at this point, despite the last couple 88 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 1: of weeks, or or do you just tunneling on Washington 89 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 1: and focus on that. Well, certainly, I mean the whole 90 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 1: the whole season obviously is in front of you right now. Um, 91 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 1: And we have a long way to go obviously the 92 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 1: rest of December here and in the early part of January. 93 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 1: So um, you know, there's we have to focus on 94 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,360 Speaker 1: getting ready to play Washington. But but you're sitting at 95 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 1: seven and four, or you put yourself in a position 96 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 1: to play meaningful games in December, which is important. Um. 97 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,360 Speaker 1: You know last year, I think we were seven and six, 98 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 1: um after thirteen games. So look, anything can happen in 99 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 1: this league. I've said this before. It's a humbling league. 100 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 1: You can be on the top of the mountain one 101 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 1: week and you know, fall off the next week. And 102 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 1: the biggest thing for us is to remain consistent and 103 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:23,279 Speaker 1: in the things that we try to do each week 104 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 1: to give ourselves the best chance to win. Do they 105 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:29,480 Speaker 1: always work? No? But I think a consistent approach, um 106 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 1: is the best approach. If I can ask one more. 107 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:37,839 Speaker 1: One of those things that that hasn't really been working 108 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 1: for you guys recently is the run game, at least 109 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 1: as as it pertains to you guys. Is there something 110 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:50,920 Speaker 1: that that you need to do better. Is it just 111 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,919 Speaker 1: that defenses have really been locking down on him or 112 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,679 Speaker 1: is there something you guys need to do better to 113 00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 1: to free him up? Well, I think every we can do. 114 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:01,600 Speaker 1: Of course, we can do a lot of things better, 115 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 1: not just in the run game, but in the past 116 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,159 Speaker 1: game on you know, in the red zone on third 117 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 1: down that's just not offensive side, that's on the defensive 118 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 1: side as well. So, um, you know, certainly obviously they 119 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 1: know se Quan is a player that we like to 120 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 1: use a lot. But again yesterday we you know, we 121 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 1: try to start out the game by mixing it up 122 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 1: and get ahead of the chains, and you know, usually 123 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,800 Speaker 1: we've been a pretty run heavy team other than the 124 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:28,240 Speaker 1: Jacksonville game early on that and you know that's you know, 125 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 1: some of the thought process there was to you know, 126 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 1: try to protect against those defensive ends. Moved Daniel a 127 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 1: little bit, but um, yeah, I think you know, we'll 128 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,280 Speaker 1: look at that like we do every weekend, UM, evaluate 129 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 1: things that we can do better. UM. And you know, 130 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 1: harp on the you know, the execution of it, the 131 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 1: fundamentals of it, the schematic stuff on on the coach's 132 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:57,359 Speaker 1: end of it. So it's all encompassing. Thank you, Tom 133 00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 1: cannonban Hey, Brian, how you doing good? Tom? Are you good? Um? 134 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 1: I was kind of thinking the same thing as Ed, 135 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,840 Speaker 1: and I was wondering, I know, it's next man up, 136 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 1: but when your line is banged up, how hard is 137 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 1: it to get the running game going with when you 138 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,680 Speaker 1: throw new people into the mix. Yeah, these guys have 139 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 1: been here for a while, they've been practicing, so you know, 140 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 1: we make no excuses about anything like that. We just 141 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 1: have to do a better job. UM. And the only 142 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 1: other question I was thinking about was Kenny wasn't didn't 143 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 1: have a big role yesterday. Was he just not in 144 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 1: the game plan that much? No, he was. We mixed 145 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 1: them in there, and again, you know a lot of 146 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 1: our passes were you know, roll out naked type passes 147 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 1: with people coming across the formation. Again, that's a difficult 148 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,360 Speaker 1: defense to just sit there and drop back. You saw 149 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 1: what they did in Minnesota the week before. UM, so 150 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 1: you know that was you know, we had a particular 151 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 1: way we wanted to play. Obviously didn't get it done, 152 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,679 Speaker 1: and um, you know, get ready to go gets Washington. 153 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 1: Thank you, r Us Salzburg. Hey, Brian, how are you 154 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 1: doing good? Russ? How are you good? You know you 155 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 1: you said it just a little while ago, and U 156 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 1: quite frankly, you've been consistent with saying it all year 157 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 1: about we have to stay consistent each and every game, 158 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 1: look at what's in front of us. But realistically, Brian, 159 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 1: with all the injuries, how difficult is it for you 160 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 1: and the coaching staff to have these guys be consistent 161 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,440 Speaker 1: when you know, listen, it's you're playing backups and sometimes 162 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:45,200 Speaker 1: they have backups to backups. Yeah, again, Russ, I think 163 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 1: the thing that we do is just control our controllables 164 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 1: and the players that we have on our roster we're 165 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 1: confident in. Um it's our job to try to put 166 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 1: them in the best positions we can and certainly we 167 00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 1: can do a better you know job at that and 168 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 1: you know, trust the players we have. And again I 169 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 1: think a lot of those guys stepped up and made 170 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,920 Speaker 1: some quality plays for us. UM. So again we've all 171 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 1: been in this league a long time. There's there's no excuses. Um. 172 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:14,319 Speaker 1: Everybody goes through injuries or um, you know, losses, things 173 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 1: like that. You you come back. You you know, you 174 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,839 Speaker 1: stay mentally strong, You look at the things you need 175 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:24,600 Speaker 1: to fix. You stay consistent with your approach, um, with 176 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 1: improvement in mind. Uh, you own what you didn't do well, 177 00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 1: and you move on to the next week. Thank you, 178 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 1: You're welcome. Are it's the signal? Now, hey, coach, how 179 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:42,199 Speaker 1: you doing good? How are you good? Um? Coaches? Two 180 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:46,560 Speaker 1: quick ones. Um, the first one, I think it's safe 181 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:48,320 Speaker 1: to say you weren't too happy with that illegal man 182 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 1: downfield negating the Hodgins penalty. But I have to look 183 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 1: again and our film. Do you agree with the call? Yeah, 184 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 1: I'll let you know. I'm not gonna, you know, get 185 00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 1: into whether I agree or not agree. Um, you know 186 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 1: they called it obviously, the referee saw something to call it. 187 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:07,440 Speaker 1: So you know, there's nothing we can do about it. 188 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 1: We gotta go ahead and get onto the next play. Um, 189 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 1: it's a hard job that those guys have. Okay, fair enough, coach, 190 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 1: just a piggyback. I guess us a little bit. You 191 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 1: might be getting back to some offensive line personnel against Washington. 192 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 1: How much does that allow you to do what you 193 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 1: want to do with those jumbo packages kind of freeing 194 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 1: update a little bit more. And obviously if you get 195 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:33,320 Speaker 1: Baland back, Yeah, the more guys, the more guys you 196 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 1: can get back, you know, the more things, obviously personnel wise, 197 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:40,080 Speaker 1: you can utilize. So you know, what we try to 198 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 1: do each week is whoever's up for the game, we 199 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:46,359 Speaker 1: try to have packages for however many people are in there, um, 200 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,199 Speaker 1: you know that we think will give us an advantage. 201 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 1: So hopefully those guys are are trending in the right direction, 202 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 1: and you know, take these three days to get as 203 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:54,959 Speaker 1: healthy as they can go and we'll see where they're 204 00:10:55,000 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 1: at on Monday. Thank you, welcome. We'll take a couple 205 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:07,440 Speaker 1: more from Ryan. Thank you guys. So these were some 206 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 1: of the ones the other guys sent me. Dames, I 207 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:13,600 Speaker 1: appreciate you taking it. You get you gave them today 208 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 1: off obviously, and the last time you had some elongated 209 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:18,959 Speaker 1: time off during the bye week, you had an incident 210 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 1: pop up. So did you send them off today with 211 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:25,120 Speaker 1: any kind of be smart, be careful message with that 212 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:28,360 Speaker 1: in mind? Yeah, yesterday I just said we gotta you know, 213 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 1: take a few days, get your bodies right, get your 214 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,679 Speaker 1: minds right, be a pro off the field, and come 215 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 1: back ready to go on Monday. UM. In regards to uh, 216 00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 1: in regards to the defense as a whole, excuse me, 217 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 1: the offense as a whole of that? Or is that 218 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 1: out there that was your first the Darius catch was 219 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 1: your first offensive play? Throw forty yards in the air 220 00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,440 Speaker 1: this year? How hard is it to move the ball 221 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 1: on offense when you're missing those explosive pass plays. I 222 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:03,720 Speaker 1: know you made a bunch on the ground, but you 223 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,439 Speaker 1: have the fewest forty yard pass plays in the league. 224 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,800 Speaker 1: How hard is that making things on the offense? Yeah, 225 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:13,440 Speaker 1: the less explosive plays, um, you know, the higher level 226 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,079 Speaker 1: of execution on a consistent basis you need to have. 227 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:21,200 Speaker 1: We have quite a few long drives, UM, and you 228 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,440 Speaker 1: know you have to have usually eleven guys doing the 229 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:27,000 Speaker 1: right thing to operate an efficient offense. You know, fourteen 230 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 1: fifteen plays in a row. So anytime you can get 231 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 1: in explosive whether that's a run or a pass, that 232 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:36,520 Speaker 1: that certainly helps because it just eliminates some of the 233 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:39,680 Speaker 1: situations that you'll be in throughout the drive. You know, 234 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,560 Speaker 1: the third downs where it's usually advantage defense and they're 235 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,160 Speaker 1: you know, again on the road in a tough environment, 236 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:49,440 Speaker 1: um against the defensive line like that that can you know, 237 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 1: get after the passer? You know you you take away 238 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 1: those that that helps you, no doubt about it. Last 239 00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 1: two were any injury we know, flaws in the protocol 240 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 1: other any other injury updates out of that game. No, 241 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,240 Speaker 1: I think I think we came out fairly clean here. 242 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:12,840 Speaker 1: Um right, so, um, you know nothing nothing. I think 243 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 1: that is gonna you know, kind of go into next week. 244 00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 1: But we'll see. You never know what can come up. 245 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 1: Those guys will get treatment and um, you know, hopefully 246 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:25,320 Speaker 1: we'll be in you know, improved shape here on Monday. 247 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,560 Speaker 1: And then the last one was jahad Ward after the 248 00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:31,079 Speaker 1: game was pretty impassionate. I want to make the playoffs, 249 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:34,079 Speaker 1: so I don't care what our record is. Playoffs, playoffs 250 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 1: And a lot of your guys don't mention the p 251 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:39,080 Speaker 1: where they don't mention playoffs, they kind of take your lead. Uh, 252 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 1: is this the time of year where that's good, like 253 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,520 Speaker 1: focused on the playoffs, have the main goal in mind, 254 00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:46,720 Speaker 1: and is this where it kind of helps you that 255 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 1: you never got too high when you were six and 256 00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 1: one or seven or two, you kept the message the 257 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:53,559 Speaker 1: same as it is now that you've hit a bit 258 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,320 Speaker 1: of adversity. Do you like the guys talking about the playoffs? 259 00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,560 Speaker 1: And is this where your message really resonates because it's 260 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,080 Speaker 1: the same is when things are going well. Yeah. Again, 261 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,560 Speaker 1: I think I'm not saying it's right or wrong. I 262 00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:08,959 Speaker 1: just think consistency helps. Um. You know, in the seat 263 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 1: that I'm in, it's certainly you don't want to lose games. UM, 264 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,800 Speaker 1: have bad performances, have bad decisions, have bad play calls. 265 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 1: You know, you take a lot of pride and in 266 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 1: what we do. And you know we knew and we 267 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 1: know just being in this league a long time, it's 268 00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,720 Speaker 1: you're gonna face a lot of this stuff. Um. And 269 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:32,120 Speaker 1: it's it's easy to get down on yourself or get 270 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 1: down as a team. And I think the important thing 271 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,280 Speaker 1: is to just keep the main thing, the main thing, 272 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 1: Ryan is, Um, you know what can we do to 273 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:45,120 Speaker 1: help improve? Um? You know the results? Again, but again 274 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 1: I have no issues with how these guys prepare, UM, 275 00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 1: their competitiveness, how hard they work during the week, how 276 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 1: hard they play during the game. UM. So I think 277 00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:59,120 Speaker 1: if you just focus on those things that takes you, 278 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,920 Speaker 1: you know, that takes you each week with a consistent approach, 279 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 1: and um, you know, that's that's what I believe in. So, UM, 280 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 1: do I like to lose or do we like to lose? 281 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 1: Hell no, we don't like to lose. UM, but I 282 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:14,280 Speaker 1: think that you have to keep the main thing the 283 00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 1: main thing. And look, every team in this league, you know, 284 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 1: from the start of training camp on has certain goals 285 00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:22,880 Speaker 1: they want to achieve. UM, but I think you have to, 286 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:26,760 Speaker 1: you know, make short term goals throughout the season as 287 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:28,960 Speaker 1: you go along and be consistent with that.
