You know, I'm not going to 59 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 2: break in the song, but no, his his leadership is 60 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 2: off the charts. Really, that whole room, All three of 61 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 2: them have done a really good job of leading in 62 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,960 Speaker 2: their own way, with their own style. And and you 63 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 2: know when when you're around him and you see him prepare, 64 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 2: you know, he was here last night until god knows when, 65 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 2: making sure he felt good with the game plan and 66 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,639 Speaker 2: and you know, taking input and things along those lines.

Was that something at that time when 72 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 3: Neighbors that went down that you and KAF could put 73 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 3: your heads together today, like maybe this is a way 74 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 3: we can go forward. Yeah, I'm just trying to say 75 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 3: the partnership between you guys and. 76 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 2: You know, uh, it's everybody. It's everybody up there. You know, 77 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 2: it's it's Shay, it's LB, it's Calm, you know, it's 78 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,800 Speaker 2: it's it's everybody up there. Kind of what can we 79 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:32,239 Speaker 2: do as an offense in our position rooms as a 80 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 2: unit to to put this team in the best position 81 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 2: possible to win a game. So if that means that 82 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 2: we're playing a personnel group a little bit more, then 83 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 2: you know, based upon you know, what what it looks 84 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 2: like and who's available, then well we'll do that. But 85 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 2: I think that's just an example of kind of everybody 86 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 2: putting their heads together and figuring out what's best. 87 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 4: For us just logistically balanced tight end group. 88 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 2: Anything changes a little less sleep for me, that's really it. 89 00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 2: Like there's enough time to day, just got to figure, 90 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 2: you know, figure out what well my cadence is going 91 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 2: to be with my rhythm, my routine, to make sure 92 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 2: that that the guys in the tight end room are 93 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 2: are as prepared as possible, and making sure that we 94 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 2: put together a good plan for for the unit. 95 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 4: You mentioned that you've been focused on the run game. 96 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 4: What do you think of how you guys are running 97 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:17,919 Speaker 4: the ball? What do you think needs to get better? 98 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:21,280 Speaker 2: Yeah? I think we you know, have Spurts where it's 99 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 2: really good and you know Spurts Sports it's not so good. 100 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,919 Speaker 2: We need to and I would say as a unit, 101 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,599 Speaker 2: you know, we need to be more consistent, right because 102 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 2: there's times where you know, we're we're tough to stop 103 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 2: and there's other times where it's like a dang right, 104 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 2: So just just making sure that our guys understand the 105 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 2: consistency that's needed to win. Unfortunately, we find out the 106 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 2: hard way that that that it takes sixty minutes of 107 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 2: good football and winter football game in this league. So 108 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 2: continuing to really really hammer home that message and make 109 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:56,239 Speaker 2: sure everyone's on board with that and understand the amount 110 00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 2: of detail and focus that we need for for the 111 00:04:58,240 --> 00:04:59,359 Speaker 2: entire game, not just Spurts. 112 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,159 Speaker 4: Packers defense doesn't give up a lot of points. 113 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,280 Speaker 1: Just what are you saying from them and just kind 114 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 1: of how they've been able to execute? 115 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean they've got talent on on all three levels, right, 116 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 2: you look up front, Micah and Gary their problems on 117 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 2: the edge. You see kway Walker flying around, you know, 118 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 2: making a million tackles. They got two really good safeties, 119 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 2: two good corners, so you know they're they They've got 120 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,280 Speaker 2: good talent on every level of the defense. They're very 121 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:27,479 Speaker 2: well coached. You know, they flying around, they tackle well 122 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:31,159 Speaker 2: that you know, they play fundamental football and and schematically 123 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,480 Speaker 2: the hard to get a beat on. So I think 124 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,880 Speaker 2: when you pair those things, you know, that's the product 125 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:37,160 Speaker 2: you get. 126 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:39,840 Speaker 4: Very well coach.

You don't see a ton of as you know, 129 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:48,480 Speaker 2: guys just running free. Uh, They're they're good tacklers, they 130 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 2: fly to the football, you know, just those those things 131 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 2: as you're watching it. 132 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,800 Speaker 3: When you first came here, did you know Kafka?

You know, there'll there'll be some 164 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 2: some you know, they'll probably hear my voice in the 165 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 2: big room a little bit more than they have throughout 166 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 2: the first hover many weeks, But it's still the same vision. 167 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 2: We're still we're still here to make sure we're putting 168 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 2: our guys in the best position possible. It's not there's 169 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 2: going to be a dramatic shift in anything, you know, 170 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 2: and and and again, let our guys understand what the 171 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 2: plan is, be able to go out there and play 172 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 2: fast and really execute at a high level. 173 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 4: Last one, when you guys are running the ball and 174 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 4: the goal line seemed like early early season, especially with Scataboo, 175 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 4: you guys were having success down there punching it in. 176 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 4: When you see now, do you need more direct running 177 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 4: or is it just because it's tighter quarters, more bodies 178 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 4: like one one mistake is more costly. 179 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 2: Uh yeah, I mean I would say anywhere or you 180 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 2: have a mistake, it's costly. I think we've been rather 181 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 2: efficient down there. Obviously, we'd like to see, let's be 182 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:07,520 Speaker 2: able to punch that one in last week and we 183 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,040 Speaker 2: got tackled at the half yard line, whatever, one yard 184 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:13,240 Speaker 2: line and then you know, the backer made a good 185 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 2: play on the outside zone, we ran into the right 186 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 2: where we ended up losing two and I think that 187 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 2: was the second down play. So yeah, like it's it's 188 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 2: it's it's the same though, right, Like, it's the the 189 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 2: ability to maintain that level of focus, play style, attention 190 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 2: to detail no matter where we're at in the game 191 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 2: or where we're at on the field. Uh, that doesn't change. 192 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,679 Speaker 2: So we got to be you know, at the pinnacle 193 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 2: of that for for as long as we can. And 194 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,079 Speaker 2: and you know, again, like I said, we've we've figured 195 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 2: out the hard way of what happens when we don't 196 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 2: do that.
