1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:02,320 Speaker 1: Given the injuries of that position this season. 2 00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:05,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think Sean Khali and Trevor have done a 3 00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:08,600 Speaker 2: great job of getting everybody prepared. 4 00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:10,880 Speaker 1: You know, you really look back to. 5 00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:17,439 Speaker 2: The spring mini camps, OTA's training camps of making sure 6 00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:23,040 Speaker 2: that we rotated guys in at different positions. You know, 7 00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:27,560 Speaker 2: that's something that I've always believed in personally, thought we 8 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:29,080 Speaker 2: did a good job when I was in l A 9 00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:32,320 Speaker 2: doing the same thing of like at mini camp, training camp, 10 00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:36,640 Speaker 2: thrown guys in different positions. And it does cause a 11 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:39,599 Speaker 2: little discomfort even for you guys freaking out about it, 12 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:46,680 Speaker 2: But because I remember you asked me the question, no 13 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:50,279 Speaker 2: you guys all seriously, you know it was it was, 14 00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:55,480 Speaker 2: oh my god, how could they do this? And you know, 15 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:59,040 Speaker 2: but seriously, it just it's more. The more you can 16 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,319 Speaker 2: do in this league, right, the more you can do 17 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 2: as a coach and as a player is always something that's. 18 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 1: Valued, right. 19 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:12,560 Speaker 2: Availability in this league is such a huge deal, and flexibility, 20 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 2: and I think our coaching staff, as you mentioned, has 21 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:19,959 Speaker 2: done a great job of keeping that group extremely tight knit, 22 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 2: even with shuffling around and guys being a little uncomfortable 23 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:29,800 Speaker 2: at times. But it's a selfless position. And they ultimately 24 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:30,640 Speaker 2: we go as they go. 25 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:38,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, he's he's extremely impressive. 26 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 2: I remember, you know, twenty we played him in twenty 27 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,120 Speaker 2: twenty and we played him again in twenty twenty two, 28 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 2: and he did some really good things against us, like 29 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 2: stiff arming defenders, throwing the ball down the field a 30 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 2: million miles. And I've got a lot of respect for 31 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 2: their their coaching staff, I know some of the guys 32 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:01,880 Speaker 2: on the offensive staff specifically, and to watch him play 33 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 2: the competitor so many playoff games, Division whatever it is, 34 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:11,640 Speaker 2: big games, you know, he typically shows up and makes 35 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,520 Speaker 2: critical plays at critical moments, and that's why he's been 36 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:22,079 Speaker 2: an m VP candidate for a long time. Yeah, Angeel, Yeah, Yeah, 37 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,120 Speaker 2: they're damn good to running the football man, they are, 38 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:29,360 Speaker 2: you know, Aaron Cromer. I've learned a lot of football 39 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 2: from from him, and and just sitting and listening to 40 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 2: his meetings, his Friday running game intent meetings when I 41 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:40,960 Speaker 2: was in LA, you know, just going and sitting in 42 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 2: his meetings, you learn something every single day. And he's 43 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,240 Speaker 2: one of the best out there, honestly, if not the best, 44 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 2: in terms of how long he's done it at such 45 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:55,240 Speaker 2: a high level and at different places doing it. He's 46 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 2: extremely like he's cutting edge when it comes to the 47 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 2: fundamentals and techniques of the position and has those guys 48 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:03,359 Speaker 2: playing at a really high. 49 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 1: Level football. 50 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 3: In the playoffs. 51 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 1: Oh that was cool, man, that was cool. 52 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:15,240 Speaker 2: Uh yeah, I think Gabe and and his girlfriend ended 53 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:19,239 Speaker 2: up making it, so it's it's cool to actually have 54 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 2: fun with it, and you know it's it was really 55 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 2: well made. 56 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 1: It was really well made. That was like there's tags 57 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 1: on and ever. I mean it's something you could sell 58 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 1: or something. So that was pretty cool. I do not I'm. 59 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 2: Not a bedazzled type, more of a no logo kind 60 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 2: of type going. But no, my wardrobe is definitely not 61 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 2: that blinging. 62 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 1: There's a stash. 63 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 2: Yesterday you're going sixty one when trailing after the first quarter, 64 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 2: which was the best record in the league in that category. 65 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 1: How did you build a team? It became souer silient 66 00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 1: because historically the. 67 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 3: Last couple of years, this is not its rally but 68 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 3: down in the first wore the last. 69 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 1: Two weeks back and. 70 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 2: That's interesting Stata and heard that one. But you know, 71 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 2: I think it's this group specifically, as so many times 72 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:18,040 Speaker 2: we talked after Houston is really dug in and really 73 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 2: treated every week like a playoff game. Trevor I think 74 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 2: said it best yesterday. It was like we were in 75 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 2: must wins to win the division and to be in 76 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 2: the situation that we're in. We we kind of treated 77 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:33,720 Speaker 2: them all that way, and it was one to zero 78 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 2: each week. And you know, I think the no flinch, 79 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 2: no blink mentality of playing four quarter football games and 80 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 2: for sixty minutes or longer is the mentality. And so 81 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,279 Speaker 2: I think these guys, we have enough veterans and enough 82 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:52,359 Speaker 2: players on this team that have been through difficult games, 83 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 2: difficult years, good winning years, winning you know teams, and ultimately, 84 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 2: when you have leadership like that and you have continuity 85 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 2: and they can then give that information and some of 86 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 2: that knowledge to the younger players that haven't been through it, 87 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,239 Speaker 2: I think that's why you probably see some of the 88 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 2: ability to be mentally and physically tough. 89 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 1: You've been around. 90 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 3: MVP caliber seasons before Trevor of this running has been on. 91 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 1: Do you think he deserves some consideration. 92 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:19,720 Speaker 2: For an accolade like that? 93 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 1: I mean I think so, right. 94 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 2: I mean, you're you're you're judged as a quarterback by 95 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 2: what you know, your team's record by by winning and losing, 96 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:34,719 Speaker 2: by how much you elevate the team, and and ultimately 97 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 2: what you do in the in the playoffs. Right, So 98 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 2: much of that gets I think resolved around this time 99 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:46,360 Speaker 2: and the best rise, right, the best rise and the 100 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 2: best to elevate the people around him. And I think 101 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 2: he's continued to do that down this stretch, right, Like 102 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 2: so many different names were thrown around for m VP 103 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,280 Speaker 2: within the first eight games of the season, and some 104 00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 2: of those teams aren't. 105 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 1: In the playoffs, so it's like, how can that be? 106 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 1: You know, you you. 107 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 2: Definitely the great every season does this for so many 108 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 2: different teams, different players. 109 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:09,159 Speaker 1: It's just the way it goes. 110 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,719 Speaker 2: And there's so many good players in this league, and 111 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 2: some guys get hot early and then some guys get 112 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 2: hot later, and it's it's really what you do in 113 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:19,799 Speaker 2: just in January that matters. 114 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:23,159 Speaker 3: Well, you went through this process of assistant last year, 115 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 3: just in case any team you know comes one interview, 116 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 3: camp or grant. 117 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 1: What advice would you have for them? 118 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:33,039 Speaker 2: Yeah, look, it's that's what you ultimately, you know, it's 119 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 2: hard to lose coach them. So I saw Sean do 120 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:40,600 Speaker 2: it every single year. But it is what you want 121 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:42,600 Speaker 2: right at the end of the day, you you do 122 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 2: want to continue to grow the game, and you want 123 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 2: to surround yourself with good people and that's what we 124 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 2: did try to do here. 125 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 1: And so. 126 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 2: You know, this week's focus and mentality has to be 127 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 2: on Buffalo and has to be on the job at hand, 128 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 2: and then whatever happens after that, that's it's more so 129 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 2: you want those opportunities, though for guys on your staff 130 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 2: it's hard. It's not something you look forward to. 131 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:08,840 Speaker 1: Having to to ever replace. 132 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 2: But you know, I was really fortunate to be in 133 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 2: that situation last year, and you want to support those 134 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 2: guys throughout that process, even though it might hurts you 135 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 2: in the long run a little bit. It might hurt 136 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 2: you in some ways, but that's why we're in this profession, 137 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 2: is to help guys get opportunities to grow this game, 138 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 2: to to be able to do those things. And you 139 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 2: got to keep hiring good people. Seen the postseason before, 140 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 2: a lot of the guys in the locker room might 141 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 2: not have Does anything shift. 142 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 1: Change this week, No, I don't think. So. 143 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 2: We have an opportunity where pads again this week in 144 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 2: practice now that the playoffs start back up, so we 145 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 2: may throw pads on this week to be able to 146 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 2: go based on our health. And you know, I think 147 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 2: that it just gets upticked. 148 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 1: A little bit, right. 149 00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 2: It's just the the ever evolving standard of the way 150 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 2: that we operate, the way that we walk through, the 151 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 2: way we practice, the. 152 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 1: Way that we meet. And then yeah, Sunday at one. 153 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 2: O'clock and may be a little faster, right, maybe a 154 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 2: little bit more physical. 155 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 1: I don't know. 156 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 2: I mean, I think that's just kind of what you 157 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 2: feel when you know it's one and done, right, and 158 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 2: when you know you're in a game that it's win 159 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 2: or go home. So I'm sure the intensity level will 160 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 2: be upticked a little bit, and but I think our 161 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 2: guys will be ready for it. 162 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 1: To have that game in your backyard at home. 163 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 2: It's great a to play in front of our fans 164 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 2: in our community. 165 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 1: That's that's massive we've had. 166 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,960 Speaker 2: I just I saw I was watching the game last 167 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 2: night at home, the TV copy, and you just saw 168 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:44,680 Speaker 2: so many good clips of our fan base in the stands, 169 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,560 Speaker 2: great signs and cool support. 170 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 1: So you appreciate that. 171 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,200 Speaker 2: But also from a schedule standpoint for us as a 172 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:56,199 Speaker 2: coaching staff and the players being able to remain kind 173 00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:57,080 Speaker 2: of in. 174 00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 1: A good rhythm. 175 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 2: We'll have the same schedule that we've had for a 176 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,560 Speaker 2: number of different weeks, and playing Sunday at one is 177 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 2: is a good thing for us. 178 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 1: But you can't stick. 179 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:18,080 Speaker 2: Your Yeah, look, I know, uh, Coach McDermott and that staff, 180 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 2: they've won a lot of football games, in a lot 181 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 2: of playoff games, a lot of heart you know, big games, 182 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,760 Speaker 2: and they're gonna look at everything, right, They're gonna look 183 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 2: at everything that we've done. They're gonna look at what 184 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,679 Speaker 2: they do and how to combat those things. Different ways 185 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,959 Speaker 2: that we create explosives on offense and vice versa, how 186 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 2: to defend those things. I think they're pretty buttoned up 187 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 2: that way. So it's really about continuing to find things 188 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 2: that you're good at, making them look maybe a little 189 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:49,840 Speaker 2: bit different, or calling them at different times, whatever it is. 190 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,360 Speaker 2: But you can't get away from what has got you 191 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 2: here and and ultimately what you hang your hat on 192 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:58,560 Speaker 2: in so many ways. So it's definitely that chess match 193 00:09:58,600 --> 00:09:59,560 Speaker 2: that's fun about coaching. 194 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:01,520 Speaker 1: Go through that kind of film study. 195 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 3: Do you go back and look at the game that 196 00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 3: the Bills and the Jacks played last Year's how players 197 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 3: handled their matchups or is it not. 198 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:15,960 Speaker 1: I am looking at that game. No, you've mentioned every receiver, 199 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 1: a tight end was actually caught a pass. Yes. Is 200 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 1: that to be able to get to everybody, Yeah. 201 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:25,119 Speaker 2: I think it's great keeps everybody engaged. It keeps everybody, 202 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 2: you know, practice preparation, knowing that, hey, everybody's number can 203 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 2: get called at any time, and it's their job and 204 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,800 Speaker 2: responsibility to be ready for the moment, whether it's because 205 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 2: of injury, whether it's because of substitution, whether it's because 206 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 2: of the score. The standard is to be able to 207 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,600 Speaker 2: go out, perform your job, do your job to the 208 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 2: best of your ability, and execute. And championship execution is championship, 209 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 2: you know, is bred from championship preparation, and that's the standard. 210 00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 1: But Morris is kind of defined. 211 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 3: Where you guys are looking for him player, how rewarding 212 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:03,360 Speaker 3: wasn't just to see him, you know, getting that touch. 213 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:04,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, it was awesome. 214 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:08,079 Speaker 2: It was actually supposed to be strangers, but Monty had 215 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 2: come out, and you know, we just had a little 216 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:11,800 Speaker 2: switch in the rotation. So Quinn was playing at F 217 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,560 Speaker 2: and and Brent was that why and so well I 218 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 2: wasn't really calling it for Stranger, it was just that's 219 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:18,320 Speaker 2: how we had practiced it in the week. 220 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 1: But it's great for Quinn. Seriously, he's. 221 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:28,959 Speaker 2: I really appreciate quin Morris. I really respect his his 222 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 2: journey is the way that he's continued to help our 223 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:37,680 Speaker 2: team when regardless of what the role is. And it started, 224 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 2: you know, really big on special teams and gaining the 225 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:44,560 Speaker 2: trust of Heath and Luke and myself and the staff 226 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:48,480 Speaker 2: on teams and then boom, you go on offense and 227 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 2: do a good job when your numbers called, and and 228 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 2: that's what all we can really ask. 229 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,400 Speaker 3: For when you go in the locker room after a 230 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,040 Speaker 3: win and you don't has that feel? 231 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 1: Is that something that just something you've always said? 232 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 3: Is that something that maybe it was spontaneous early in 233 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:04,960 Speaker 3: the season you just let it ride. Where's the origin 234 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 3: of that? 235 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:07,800 Speaker 1: My dad? 236 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was all my high school buddies 237 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:16,480 Speaker 2: text me and they all reach out to him too 238 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:18,440 Speaker 2: and stuff, and you know, I think it's kind of 239 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 2: cool that we have the same you know, I that 240 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 2: I kind of took that on.

So kind of took that one on. 248 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,240 Speaker 3: Media departments have such a good job of putting out 249 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:43,640 Speaker 3: when those first few moments when you walk into the 250 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:47,760 Speaker 3: locker room after a victory, short of like life altering 251 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,760 Speaker 3: experiences like marriages and births and things like that.

You know, 255 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,079 Speaker 2: a lot of work goes into this preparation, a lot 256 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:07,320 Speaker 2: of work, a lot of time, a lot of physical, emotional, mental. 257 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 1: Time and energy goes into this thing. 258 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:15,720 Speaker 2: And to see the players enjoy moments. That was something 259 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,920 Speaker 2: we talked about Saturday night in the team meeting, was 260 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:23,360 Speaker 2: to to stay in the moment, to enjoy every moment 261 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:30,360 Speaker 2: of that game yesterday, every play, every single second of 262 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 2: the game is its own moment, and to stay in 263 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 2: the moment, to live in the moment, and then to 264 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:37,719 Speaker 2: enjoy the moment right and knowing that there's a lot 265 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:42,520 Speaker 2: of work to be done, that nothing is truly you know, 266 00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:44,720 Speaker 2: finished right now. I think that a lot of our 267 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:48,559 Speaker 2: players said that yesterday is you know, there's still a 268 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 2: lot of work to do right now, and really it 269 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:55,559 Speaker 2: gets gets amplified at this moment. But to enjoy yesterday, 270 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,199 Speaker 2: that was cool to see the players and everybody juiced up. 271 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:04,000 Speaker 1: Last question, Oh good that Parker touchdown. Was that an 272 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,199 Speaker 1: example of going from the practice field. 273 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:07,200 Speaker 2: To the game field. 274 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,839 Speaker 1: It looked like that was something you guys worked on Rome. Yeah, 275 00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:11,560 Speaker 1: we repped that on Friday. 276 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 2: Where it was a mirrored type concept where Trevor had 277 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 2: the ability to kind of give those guys a little 278 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 2: audible or if you will, or a double move off 279 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 2: of a route and he could have done it to 280 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 2: either side, so he The way we had set it 281 00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:33,720 Speaker 2: up was so that you know, it could go to 282 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 2: either way, and he ended up sending it that way 283 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 2: and it was very similar look to how we had 284 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:40,920 Speaker 2: practiced it. 285 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 1: Against. 286 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 2: The look on Friday was the same exact coverage. So yeah, 287 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 2: practice performance equals game reality, right. That's so much of 288 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 2: what we talk about and those details that go into 289 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:54,320 Speaker 2: every single play, every single moment. 290 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 1: That's fun. 291 00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 2: I mean, we scored the touchdown of Strange was the 292 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,240 Speaker 2: same exact play that we scored on him in the 293 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,000 Speaker 2: first game, just out of a different look. So that's 294 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:06,360 Speaker 2: what you're ultimately trying to do, right, is give your 295 00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,360 Speaker 2: guys different ways to get to the same areas on 296 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 2: the field that you feel like you're trying to attack, 297 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 2: but just stress it up a little bit differently, and 298 00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:16,400 Speaker 2: and it's on the players to go and learn those 299 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 2: little tweaks and those details throughout the week, put those 300 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:24,520 Speaker 2: details in preparation into practice, and then go execute it 301 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 2: in those moments in the game. 302 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:29,960 Speaker 1: So yeah, that's that's rewarding to see for sure. Thank you.
