1 00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:04,080 Speaker 1: Hi, Lawrence. Um, just a thought on on you know, 2 00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:06,280 Speaker 1: obviously it must be a tough day there watching the 3 00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:08,840 Speaker 1: film that you saw on film. Uh, and our tough 4 00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:13,119 Speaker 1: of day it was for your defense yesterday. Well what 5 00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:15,440 Speaker 1: we want to watch on film is is we have 6 00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:17,919 Speaker 1: to get better. That's what we saw. We saw we 7 00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:20,239 Speaker 1: didn't go out there and play a good game. Um, 8 00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:23,919 Speaker 1: we didn't bring no fight. Um. But there's always something 9 00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:26,880 Speaker 1: to build on and that's what we're doing. Um today 10 00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:28,680 Speaker 1: we're building off this film. But we have to go 11 00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,960 Speaker 1: out there and play our solid football. Um. We got 12 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,520 Speaker 1: lost from that last night. We wasn't playing our style. 13 00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:37,159 Speaker 1: We're just going out there and going through the motions 14 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:39,720 Speaker 1: and then showed up. Um. Then from now we have 15 00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:41,839 Speaker 1: to be like, okay, it's time to stop doing that. 16 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:44,400 Speaker 1: It's trying to put your head in your bucks, trying 17 00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:47,160 Speaker 1: to put your your feet in the ground and get 18 00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 1: it going. Um, because if you ain't playing good anyp football, 19 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:55,600 Speaker 1: it shows up there. And that's where it looked like. Uh, Sunday, 20 00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 1: you after you get done watching the film, how quickly 21 00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 1: uh do you use though that phrase onto Buffalo and 22 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:08,080 Speaker 1: you know, strict key in focus on on getting ready 23 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:11,959 Speaker 1: for that that challenge. Well, as soon as you get done, 24 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,039 Speaker 1: you have to get your corrections, and from those corrections 25 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:16,760 Speaker 1: you understand right down. Once you got to do in 26 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 1: your notebooks, then it's trying to move on. Um, we 27 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,560 Speaker 1: can't dole in the past. It's a whole another week. 28 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,280 Speaker 1: It's Monday, start of a new week for us, and 29 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 1: it's on the Buffalo now. Um. And when you when 30 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,759 Speaker 1: you're studying for Buffalo, you always have in the back 31 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,039 Speaker 1: of your mind like this time played this last week, 32 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,400 Speaker 1: this this certain play can do it this way? You 33 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:35,840 Speaker 1: got to play a little bit better and not how 34 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,119 Speaker 1: you got your notes to keep on reminding you what 35 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,320 Speaker 1: you need to do better in the up and coming game. 36 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,959 Speaker 1: But more more importantly, it's what you need to do 37 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:48,200 Speaker 1: better in practice. Next question, love and read, and I'd 38 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 1: ask anybody else to raise a hand if you have 39 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 1: a question, Hey, Lawrence, as this practice week starts, how 40 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 1: much do you have to guard against pressing? Because you 41 00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 1: mentioned guys are gonna get try and get locked in 42 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 1: and make sure they corrected. But you may lose the 43 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 1: fundamental aspect of just getting after practice and getting after it. 44 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 1: We're never going to lose the fundamentals of getting after 45 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 1: it in practice, and then that's the best thing about 46 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 1: playing here. We always try to do our best in practice. 47 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 1: We try to assimilate the game more than anybody else 48 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 1: I've been a part of. And that's the best thing. 49 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 1: You get the idea of what the scout team is 50 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 1: giving you, and when you get into the game, you're prepared. 51 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 1: But it's for us to continue to push ourselves, to 52 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:36,079 Speaker 1: challenge ourselves every single day to get better, to correct 53 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,360 Speaker 1: those things that we think that don't need to be corrected, 54 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 1: need to be corrected. The little steps that you just say, 55 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 1: oh it's easy, you consistently perfect that, and you always 56 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 1: have to work on your flaws. So every player has 57 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 1: a flaw and that's what you have practice for to 58 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,919 Speaker 1: eliminate those, to make them a good technique or a 59 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 1: good full work or a good reader for play. You're 60 00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 1: a real quick at risk of it. Didn't ask you, 61 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 1: You went, I'm doing the game. How are you feeling? 62 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 1: It's good to you a voice and know that everything's 63 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 1: progressing in the right way. How are you feeling? I 64 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 1: feel good? You know, got got a little banged up, 65 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 1: got got taken care of and got back out there. 66 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 1: It was one of those things that when you caught 67 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 1: up in between somebodies your fault, you get somebody to 68 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,640 Speaker 1: fall on you. You've got to, you know, get it 69 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 1: walked off, get get some treatment on the sideline, and 70 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 1: get back in the game. UM, nothing too serious. Next 71 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,239 Speaker 1: question trade here, and I'd encourage anyone else asked to 72 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 1: raise your hand if you'd like to ask a question. Well, 73 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: it's appreciate you for takes some time Herege. General thoughts 74 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 1: on giving you know, coming off the two week period 75 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 1: there with COVID, is there a little bit of shocker 76 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 1: or maybe surprised that you know, you finally get back 77 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 1: to normal you have before week of practice and not 78 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 1: a whole lot seemed to change from the week before. Um, 79 00:03:57,960 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 1: Like I said, we didn't go out there and perform 80 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 1: like we should. Up. You can't say, well, come back 81 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 1: over COVID, come back to this and do not how 82 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 1: it's practice and we didn't go out there and perform. 83 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 1: It's as simple as that. Um, if we did it, 84 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 1: it'd been a different story. Every single week that you 85 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 1: approach your game and every game that you're you're you're 86 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 1: lacing up your shoes for you have to go out 87 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,599 Speaker 1: there as a certain mentality that you have to do 88 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 1: your driving before and in the last two weeks we 89 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 1: haven't been doing that. But that doesn't mean, hey, we're 90 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,039 Speaker 1: doubting ourselves or putting our head down. All that means 91 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 1: just telling us that we need to get get better 92 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,039 Speaker 1: at practice, and when we get better in practice, we 93 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 1: get better in the games. We just could continue to 94 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:42,719 Speaker 1: keep the ball rolling. Um this nigs of many many weeks, 95 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,039 Speaker 1: and we can't keep looking in the past, or looking 96 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,720 Speaker 1: at records, or looking at everybody else's records and trying 97 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,160 Speaker 1: to drop your head. This team is all about keeping 98 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 1: your head up, keeping the spirit up. And I knowing 99 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 1: all the noise, our next question, leven read, then I 100 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:00,719 Speaker 1: have to ask you how do you keep that spirit up? 101 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:04,039 Speaker 1: Because yesterday on the sidelines, when usually a team, you 102 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 1: guys are usually opt in either whether you're up or down, 103 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,280 Speaker 1: you guys are kind of encouraging one another. Yesterday there 104 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 1: was kind of a different vibe on the sideline where 105 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 1: guys kind of had their heads down. How do you 106 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,720 Speaker 1: make sure you keep that spirit up? Like I said, 107 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 1: we noticed that also, So that's one of those things 108 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 1: that we have to get back to Hey, you got 109 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,039 Speaker 1: to keep your head up and keep going. Um. And 110 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 1: that said when that playing we went out there, we're 111 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,159 Speaker 1: often playing good football and it shows, and it shows 112 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 1: on the sidem we're not playing good football game playing 113 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,719 Speaker 1: for each other. It doesn't matter if you win or lose. 114 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 1: At the end of the day, how your body learns, 115 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 1: how you percept the sideline and the players is always 116 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 1: continue to grind, always doing it. And I said Sunday 117 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 1: it wasn't like that. I mean, that's why we're going 118 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 1: to get back to it. Um. It starts in practice. 119 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 1: We keep the energy level up, we keep going, we 120 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 1: keep grinding, we keep sharpening, and that the iron. But 121 00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 1: it starts with us as players, and we have to 122 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 1: keep the motor going. And we can't have another week 123 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 1: like we did last week. And like if we come 124 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,480 Speaker 1: out and say we lose another one, you adn't go 125 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:07,680 Speaker 1: to see the same thing. You said, I'm oide with 126 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 1: people's heads and we got to keep the heads up 127 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 1: and keep on grinding because every single game is a 128 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 1: big game and every single practice is a big practice. 129 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:19,719 Speaker 1: And I saw a hand up Mike reas, do you 130 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 1: have a final question? Sounds great? Thanks Stacy Lawrence, thanks 131 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 1: for doing this. Um, I think you were asked, but 132 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,279 Speaker 1: I wasn't sure because I hopped in from another one 133 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 1: a little scary yesterday. But then you came back in. 134 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 1: What can you fill me in on what that was? 135 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 1: Or I don't want to make you repeat your words. 136 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I just got caught up in a in 137 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,200 Speaker 1: a pile, you know, so how to get looked at? 138 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,479 Speaker 1: And like I said, it happens in the game of football. 139 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 1: It was a lot of bodies around and wedn't get 140 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:48,360 Speaker 1: copped up on some people. You said, I go get 141 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,360 Speaker 1: checked out and make sure everything's okay. And everything was fine. 142 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,359 Speaker 1: So I got back out there and Laurence just my 143 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,279 Speaker 1: last one.

Just how 145 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 1: would you to characterize the mood today? You know, at 146 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 1: that game, I think Devin used the word he was embarrassed, 147 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 1: you know, So how how would you describe the mood 148 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 1: sort of trying to bounce back among the guys today. 149 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 1: The best way to describe that is opportunity to get better. 150 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 1: You know, we got the opportunity to learn from our 151 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 1: experience from Sunday. We got the opportunity to come out 152 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 1: here and go into film and learn to get better 153 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 1: and taking the culture. And we have the opportunity to 154 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,080 Speaker 1: come in on Wednesday in practice, and that's the best 155 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 1: thing we can have. It's the opportunity to get better, 156 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 1: an opportunity to face another team this Sunday. So and 157 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 1: that's the thing that we all are keeping earn a mind, is, Hey, 158 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 1: what do we need to do to get better? We 159 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 1: had the opportunity to do it because a lot of 160 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 1: people don't have the opportunity to get better. It's a 161 00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 1: lot of teams that don't think that way, like, oh, 162 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:01,560 Speaker 1: what can we do to get better? Then it's like, well, 163 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 1: we an't gonna put our heads down and keep going. No, 164 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 1: we're gonna take what happened on Sunday. We're gonna take 165 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,240 Speaker 1: what happened in the last couple of weeks.
