1
00:00:01,480 --> 00:00:04,160
Speaker 1: Did you give us an up game on Trevor, still in,

2
00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:08,119
Speaker 1: still in the protocol, progressing well, but we have to

3
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:10,879
Speaker 1: follow the we follow the steps so we can't skip anything.

4
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:16,800
Speaker 1: So still in. Yeah, I'm say, uh, Jay is getting better. Uh,

5
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 1: strength is strength is good. But still week to week.

6
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 2: We didn't ask about the other guys, Tyson, Cisco. And

7
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 2: then I think you said Ezra.

8
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 1: And Walker were good at Yeah they came out of

9
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:33,240
Speaker 1: the give sore, but that they came out fine, They're fine. Uh,

10
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 1: both Tyson and Cisco. Will we'll practice today, you know,

11
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:39,599
Speaker 1: we get them back out there, so hopefully, you know,

12
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:42,479
Speaker 1: they continue to progress and and you know, we'll see

13
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 1: where they're at able to get out of the game.

14
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:52,519
Speaker 1: When yes, running backs were good, Jamal was good, the

15
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 1: old linemen were good, Zay was probably the only one.

16
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 1: And then Trevor, yeah he does. I was looking at

17
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 1: the stats.

18
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 3: And the percentage of scoring touchdowns in the red zone

19
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,039
Speaker 3: is actually you're the same rank in the NFL as

20
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 3: last year, about the middle of the pack, and the

21
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 3: percentage isn't much different. So I guess there's a perception

22
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 3: that it's been worse in the red zone and it

23
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 3: actually isn't. But still, you know what makes you happy?

24
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,400
Speaker 3: I mean I score it every time. I guess makes

25
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 3: is what you want. But is there a certain percentage

26
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 3: you shoot for or that you think is adequate?

27
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: Well, one hundred percent would be great, but you know, realistically,

28
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 1: you'd love to be you know, eighty plus percent and

29
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 1: you get in the red zone. I mean that's you know,

30
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,479
Speaker 1: and that's probably high. But but you know, our goal

31
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 1: is to score touchdowns in the red zone. You know,

32
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 1: each week. If you can come away with three, obviously

33
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 1: that's that's good too. But our biggest issues have been

34
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 1: the turnovers, you know, down there. That's the thing that's

35
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: kept us, I think from having a little bit better

36
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: you know, scoring percentage. You know this year when you.

37
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 3: Think it's in fact did turnovers are kind of I

38
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 3: don't know, there's a little bit too memorable, like Terman

39
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 3: just dropping the ball, you know, is it is it?

40
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 3: They they've they've really been painful.

41
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:21,239
Speaker 1: Any turnovers painful, but especially down there. You know when

42
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: you have a little drive going and you're at the

43
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: twenty yard line, you know, going in, it's they're all painful.

44
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 2: How much it finds? What what's the fine repeat? Offender.

45
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:40,959
Speaker 2: Does he get does it Increa at least is navigating

46
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 2: the protocol with the quarterback topper than dealing with.

47
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 3: The knee and the ankle, because I'm assuming you can't

48
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 3: give him game plan stuff to look at and all

49
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 3: that other stuff.

50
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,239
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, you gotta be you gotta follow the steps,

51
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 1: you know. And and it's really based on symptoms, you know,

52
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: and how he feels. If if he can sit into

53
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: me and tolerated meeting, it's okay. If if not, then

54
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: we we we we don't put him in there, you know,

55
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 1: because you're you're stimulating the brain. Right, So it's just

56
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: based on based on symptoms. But like if it's his

57
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 1: knee or his ankle, he's in those meetings and and

58
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: he's you know, he's getting the game plan and he's

59
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: he's listening and and and all of that. So you

60
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 1: just you just got to do it really case by case.

61
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 2: Can you tell us where his sorry, can you tell

62
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 2: us where his symptoms are?

63
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: I can't disclose head entries, okay, and where people are.

64
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 4: So does it make it a tougher call if like

65
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 4: say he comes out on Friday for Saturday, clears the

66
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 4: protocol about whether you.

67
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 2: Play him or not just because of the he hasn't.

68
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: I mean, that's a it's a tough decision. The number

69
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: one thing is making sure that he's he's one hundred

70
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: percent and he has been cleared you know, by all

71
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: the all the specialists, and then and then you have

72
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: to make a decision as a team, you know, and

73
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: and uh and see where he's at too, you know,

74
00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: but it it definitely, you know, makes it makes it harder,

75
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: I guess more today that correct.

76
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 2: What's be the biggest called written in your mind about

77
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 2: why the running game is kind of come close to

78
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 2: disappearing in your last four games.

79
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: I think one of the probably the one that sticks out,

80
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 1: is just the lack of consistent players, meaning the same

81
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: guys in the same positions for the whole season, you know,

82
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 1: same left guard, same left tackle, center guard, you know,

83
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: that whole thing. There's just been there's so much timing

84
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 1: that goes on up front. And you know, now we've

85
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:47,479
Speaker 1: introduced a new player, right with Ezra, you know, to

86
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 1: our scheme, not a not a not a rookie, but

87
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,599
Speaker 1: a veteran player, but new to our scheme, and Walker's

88
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: playing you know, guard, he's been tackle and he's bounced

89
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 1: around and it's hard for those guys. It's like it's

90
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: kind of hard to get in a rhythm. Right, So

91
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 1: I think that's that's where it that's where it starts,

92
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:11,479
Speaker 1: you know, uh there. And then and then secondly, it's

93
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 1: just I think our ability to to finish blocks and

94
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:20,599
Speaker 1: sustained blocks where we're you know, and look, it's it's

95
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 1: been no shortage of good defensive fronts either. So we're

96
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: playing some good teams. But it's no excuse for us

97
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 1: not to continue to sustain and move people, right, and

98
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:34,479
Speaker 1: our guys take pride in doing that. And then and

99
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 1: then the other element too is you know, the the

100
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 1: running backs making sure that that we detail with them

101
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,479
Speaker 1: and anticipate where this hole should be on this particular

102
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 1: run where it may go. Uh. And then some of it,

103
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:53,039
Speaker 1: you know, some of it too. There's there's advantage type throws.

104
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 1: There's throws where the quarterback can pick it up and

105
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: throw it. You know, you've seen those lateral throws. Well,

106
00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 1: those are runs that he has the opportunity to you know,

107
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,919
Speaker 1: and so those go down sometimes as passes, but you know,

108
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: that's really a run, and we haven't been real good,

109
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 1: you know, especially the last couple weeks and some of that.

110
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 2: How much more of a burden is it on Trevor

111
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 2: when you can't get the Ryan game? You know?

112
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think, I think ye, yeah, I mean it's

113
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: it's it's tough, you know, because it takes away a

114
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 1: little bit from your play action, some of the movement

115
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: stuff you want to do screen game, you know. But look, it's, uh,

116
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 1: you know, something we got to continue to work at.

117
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: We got to continue to get better, you know, if

118
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 1: we can, if I've said this before, we can keep

119
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 1: going back to the some of the concepts that have

120
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 1: been successful for us. We do that just so that

121
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: our guys can not think about a lot of things

122
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 1: and just go go play.

123
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 4: When you're in the middle of a three game slide

124
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 4: like you are right now, is there something to sometimes

125
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 4: you just need a spark to kind of snap out

126
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 4: of it get back on the right track.

127
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, it's it's figuring out, you know, how

128
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,840
Speaker 1: to win, how to win a game right now, And

129
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: you know it's you know, everybody has to pay attention

130
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 1: to their job and just just do what they've been

131
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: asked to do. Coaches, players, you know, we try to

132
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 1: keep it simple, so they can play and play fast.

133
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: Somewhere somebody you know, make it play Like last week,

134
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 1: you know, Jank gets the interception, but we don't capitalize

135
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:33,679
Speaker 1: as an offense type thing, you know. So it's it's

136
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 1: it's you know, we don't go search and form, but

137
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: we need to make the ones that that that show

138
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 1: up and present themselves. And you know, sometimes it may

139
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 1: not be pretty, but if you can figure out a

140
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: way to get it done, you know, it helps you.

141
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 1: What have you thought about Baker Mayfield this year? I

142
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: thought he's playing really well, you know, and he's gotten uh,

143
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: he's gotten better as the season has gone on. Some

144
00:07:57,840 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: of his you know, statistical numbers. He's getting the ball

145
00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 1: out of his hand extremely fast. It does slow down

146
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 1: pass rush when you can do that, you know, especially

147
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 1: in the third and short medium range. And you know,

148
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 1: he's he's uh, he's trusting his guys you know, down

149
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 1: the field and they're making plays for him. So and

150
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 1: he's not turning the ball over, you know. So all

151
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 1: those things are in his favor and are helping and

152
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 1: he's playing playing good.

153
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 2: Is it okay to feel desperate at this point or

154
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 2: is that is it too soon?

155
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 1: For that, I don't know if you ever want to

156
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 1: feel desperate. I think you've got to feel a sense

157
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: of urgency. I think you got to feel a sense

158
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 1: of you know, it's it's kind of like maybe your

159
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 1: back's against the wall a little bit and it's it's

160
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 1: time to go play. But I don't think he ever

161
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 1: want to be desperate, because then you do things out

162
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 1: of character.

163
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 2: So what's the word you use with the team?

164
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 1: That's my word with them. Yeah, I won't tell you.

165
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:53,200
Speaker 3: But the challenge is that you guys are having right now.

166
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 2: Is it more of a mental thing then or a physical.

167
00:08:58,000 --> 00:08:59,959
Speaker 1: It's a little about it's a physical game and you're

168
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 1: going to get beat. I mean, that's just it's football.

169
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:04,839
Speaker 1: You know you're gonna get You're gonna get beat from

170
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:10,680
Speaker 1: time to time. I think it's the it's the mental

171
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 1: from the standpoint of just understanding your role, understanding your job.

172
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 1: We look, we know every every offensive player out there,

173
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 1: skill position guy, they know they're not supposed to turn

174
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:28,679
Speaker 1: the ball over ran that's duh, right, that's that's to us.

175
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,439
Speaker 1: That's the most prized possession on the fields the football.

176
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,559
Speaker 1: So we know that. So it's a little more concentration,

177
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 1: it's a little more focused, it's a little more attention

178
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: to detail when you're in traffic, you know, when you're

179
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: out in space the ball security to where it becomes

180
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 1: kind of second nature, you know, for for our guys.

181
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 1: But the physical part of it, you know, guys are

182
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 1: gonna get beat and it happens. You know, they make plays.

183
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 1: We're gonna make plays. It's just the kind of the

184
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 1: ebb and flow of a game. You know.

185
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 4: Is it hard to snap out of a slide like

186
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 4: this one? Three games in where you're trying to figure

187
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,719
Speaker 4: out how to win games? Is that how difficult is that?

188
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 1: I mean when you really look at it. I mean

189
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 1: there's there's been times where, okay, go back to the

190
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: Cincinnati game. You know, we we had a chance to

191
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: win that game. We didn't, but we had a chance

192
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 1: to win it, right with a kick late in the

193
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,079
Speaker 1: game and then a kick to win the game type thing.

194
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:31,479
Speaker 1: You know, Cleveland four turnovers, you know in that game, miscommunication,

195
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 1: you know, gave up some explosives offensively, you know, by them.

196
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 1: And then this past week, you know, same thing I thought.

197
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,439
Speaker 1: But in each game, you see, you see a lot

198
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 1: of good things happen. But it's the it's the it's

199
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 1: the sort of the negatives that that are maximize those

200
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 1: are the glaring issues, right, and that's what's kept us from,

201
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 1: I think, feeling better you know, about ourselves, you know,

202
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 1: at this stage. But again, it just it's just a

203
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,680
Speaker 1: it's a mentality. It's a mindset that, hey, you know,

204
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 1: sometimes enough's enough and and you just gotta take pride

205
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 1: in the opportunities to get to worry.

206
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 4: About the confidence of the team.

207
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 1: No, is there any.

208
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 3: Advantage to you to to declare CJ Bask the starter

209
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 3: this week early in the week.

210
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 1: I mean, when you consider that it's a concussion that you.

211
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 3: Might not know well all the way till game day,

212
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 3: the way that Trevor performed to Cleveland got.

213
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 2: Remissing the week of on the practice field.

214
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 3: Is there any advantage to just getting your team mentally

215
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 3: ready for the fact that maybe Trev's not.

216
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:38,320
Speaker 1: Gonna be ready this week. Well, I think I think

217
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 1: there's an advantage to CJ. If you said, when you

218
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: came out and said, he's the guy, you know, but

219
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:48,199
Speaker 1: you know, you always leave the door open for the

220
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 1: chance that that Trevor clears and and you know, listen.

221
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 1: And this has nothing to do with CJ or the

222
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 1: backup quarterbacks, but you want your starter to play. I mean,

223
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 1: especially at the quarterback position, right, I mean, I think

224
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 1: that's that's a given. But at the same time, you know,

225
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 1: I think internally, you know, you prepare and and CJ

226
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 1: does a great job of preparation. You know, he knows

227
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: the situation. It's the life of a backup. You know,

228
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 1: spent eight years behind a guy that you never knew.

229
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,559
Speaker 1: You know, he gets hurt, but he always bounced back

230
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: and seemed to play the next week, you know. And

231
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: and uh so I get it. And it's tough. But

232
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: you know, the guys, the guys know, I think, you

233
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 1: know then they prepare no differently.

234
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 2: Go mentality. Who on the O line has really surprised

235
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:50,319
Speaker 2: you and just taken off his stride?

236
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: I'll say that. You know, two guys really kind of

237
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 1: stick out. One is Anton. You know, it's a rookie

238
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 1: right tackle. He's listen, he's he's faced a lot of

239
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 1: great defensive ends this year, and and he's gotten better

240
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 1: each week, and each week he settles in and and

241
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 1: uh it's probably the most football he's played in a

242
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 1: long time. You know, going back to his college days,

243
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: and and he's done a nice job as a rookie,

244
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 1: you know, and and settled in. I think the other

245
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 1: one coming in and a new player was is Ezra.

246
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 1: You know. I think he's really embraced the opportunity. You know,

247
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 1: now he's he's playing a little bit hurt, but uh,

248
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 1: you know, he's he's really done done a nice job

249
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 1: for us, and and and has shown that that he's

250
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 1: very capable of stepping in and filling in at that spot.

251
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 2: Thanks ownership,
