Winning football team, 0:00:39.280 --> 0:00:43.519 very physical, very tough, extremely well coached football team, no 0:00:43.680 --> 0:00:47.839 question about it. One of the best coaches of this generation, 0:00:47.960 --> 0:00:50.560 no question. I believe that even if it weren't my brother, 0:00:50.560 --> 0:00:53.599 I would say the same thing. So we've got our 0:00:53.600 --> 0:00:56.520 work cutout. Force, got to travel across the country and 0:00:56.680 --> 0:00:57.800 play on Monday night football. 0:00:58.080 --> 0:00:59.760 The guy that you're facing gets a lot of know 0:01:00.080 --> 0:01:04.400 riot the other coach, even though you're undefeated against him. 0:01:04.760 --> 0:01:07.000 Are you surprised that the amount of attention he continues 0:01:07.040 --> 0:01:07.320 to get. 0:01:08.000 --> 0:01:08.920 It's uh. 0:01:09.240 --> 0:01:11.840 Jim is a is a great great He's a fun guys. 0:01:12.040 --> 0:01:15.640 He's he's he's my brother. I've known him, you know, 0:01:16.319 --> 0:01:20.080 since he was born, and uh, I've got that on him, 0:01:20.120 --> 0:01:22.759 you know, a couple of months. But uh uh he's 0:01:22.959 --> 0:01:25.720 he's uh. He loves football man, he loves his players, 0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:29.120 he loves football. He's he's uh, he's always got some 0:01:29.319 --> 0:01:32.040 way of seeing things. I think that's really interesting and uh, 0:01:32.680 --> 0:01:34.800 you know that's why people are interested in hearing from him. 0:01:35.400 --> 0:01:38.240 The nature between you two guys. 0:01:38.240 --> 0:01:40.800 I mean, obviously you've based off in the biggest stage 0:01:40.840 --> 0:01:43.520 of them all in this sport. But just where does 0:01:43.560 --> 0:01:46.479 it get How hot does the competitive nature get between 0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:47.440 the Yeah. 0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:48.320 It used to get hot, you know. 0:01:48.400 --> 0:01:50.080 I mean back back when we were younger, it was 0:01:50.160 --> 0:01:52.360 it was every day it was one fight or another. 0:01:53.240 --> 0:01:56.320 He was reminding me a couple couple of weeks ago, 0:01:56.400 --> 0:01:58.960 months ago about this a little I was. I used 0:01:58.960 --> 0:02:00.360 to be bigger than him most of the time. Then 0:02:00.360 --> 0:02:03.560 he would he ended up bigger. Obviously, he's a he's 0:02:03.600 --> 0:02:06.960 a Pro Bowl quarterback. You know, he's seventeen year player 0:02:06.960 --> 0:02:09.480 in the National Football League. He's a great athlete, always was. 0:02:10.080 --> 0:02:11.680 But most of the time I had the edge on 0:02:11.720 --> 0:02:13.480 him in growth until we got to be you know, 0:02:13.480 --> 0:02:17.120 about eighteen nineteen and I'd hold him down on stuff, 0:02:17.120 --> 0:02:20.120 and he had this technique called the crab technique, he 0:02:20.160 --> 0:02:21.639 called it, and he would basically get out his back 0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:22.959 and he gets hands and his feet up there and 0:02:22.960 --> 0:02:24.600 he just fend me off, you know, his hands and 0:02:24.639 --> 0:02:25.760 his feet and I couldn't get to him. 0:02:25.760 --> 0:02:28.480 It's really athletic. So I came up with the technique. 0:02:28.480 --> 0:02:30.160 We had these big brown pillows in our basement that 0:02:30.200 --> 0:02:32.760 you land to watch TV, these old suede brown pillows, 0:02:33.040 --> 0:02:36.240 corduroy brown pillows, and I would be able to take 0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:38.519 the pillow and i'd you know, swipe his feet down 0:02:38.520 --> 0:02:40.200 and pin him and then get back on top of him, 0:02:40.200 --> 0:02:42.080 you know. And I had forgotten about it. I mean, 0:02:42.080 --> 0:02:44.640 I did not remember it. But when you're the younger brother, 0:02:44.680 --> 0:02:46.120 that's the kind of thing you remember, you know. So 0:02:47.200 --> 0:02:49.240 I take a little credit for his toughness. I guess, 0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:51.440 you know, he's probably one of the toughest people I know. 0:02:52.520 --> 0:02:53.880 He was on the he was on the rich Iscean 0:02:53.880 --> 0:02:56.360 Show the other day and he talked about when he 0:02:56.400 --> 0:02:58.079 looks at your team carefully, when he looks at you 0:02:58.120 --> 0:03:00.640 guys on tape, there is an element of kind of 0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:02.600 staring in the mirror. I guess in part because of 0:03:02.919 --> 0:03:04.880 all the people they have there who are from here. 0:03:04.919 --> 0:03:06.560 But I mean, do you do you see that? 0:03:06.639 --> 0:03:09.160 I mean, do you see a powerful connection between the teams, 0:03:09.160 --> 0:03:10.880 whether it's the people and solid or whatever. 0:03:11.120 --> 0:03:12.160 Yeah, all of it, all of it. 0:03:12.800 --> 0:03:15.839 The you know, the culture, the way things are done, 0:03:16.040 --> 0:03:19.639 but the how they play. Certainly, the schemes very similar. 0:03:19.720 --> 0:03:23.320 You know, the schemes are a lot of ways not 0:03:23.360 --> 0:03:25.280 exactly the same, but a lot of ways mirror images 0:03:26.040 --> 0:03:28.560 the people coaching, a lot of the guys playing. But 0:03:29.360 --> 0:03:32.320 you know, with that, it's two different football teams. You know, 0:03:32.360 --> 0:03:35.640 it's two teams squaring off in a really important game. 0:03:35.840 --> 0:03:37.839 You know, and that's really what it's gonna be about. 0:03:37.840 --> 0:03:39.640 It's gonna be about the guys out there playing the game. 0:03:40.760 --> 0:03:42.400 You know, it takes a lot of curds to play 0:03:42.400 --> 0:03:44.320 this game, man, It takes an incredible amount of toughness 0:03:44.360 --> 0:03:48.360 to play this game with these guys put into. 0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:50.240 It that kind of an effort week after week. 0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:51.840 And we're coming off one of those games, we're going 0:03:51.880 --> 0:03:53.480 into one of those games. There'll be one of those 0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:56.120 games the next week after that. That's what the National 0:03:56.120 --> 0:03:58.520 Football League is That's why I think these players deserve 0:03:58.600 --> 0:04:02.160 so much respect for what they do. It's a player's game, 0:04:02.360 --> 0:04:04.760 you know. It's an honor to be in this game coach. 0:04:04.760 --> 0:04:08.240 It's I told the players just this week in the 0:04:08.280 --> 0:04:12.160 opening meeting, you know, and it's a quote that they 0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:13.880 didn't probably get you'll get it. 0:04:14.160 --> 0:04:14.600 I told him. 0:04:14.600 --> 0:04:16.120 I feel like the luckiest man on the face of 0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:19.320 the earth, you know, and I do because you get 0:04:19.360 --> 0:04:20.960 a chance to coach these guys and be around them 0:04:20.960 --> 0:04:21.360 every day. 0:04:21.760 --> 0:04:25.240 What is it like just coaching against someone that you 0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:28.120 are so close with has been your sounding board both 0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:29.600 of you throughout your entire careers. 0:04:29.640 --> 0:04:32.279 Like, is there that element that you do know him 0:04:32.360 --> 0:04:34.680 really well and can anticipate. 0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:35.120 That on a game day. 0:04:35.520 --> 0:04:37.120 I don't know about anticipating stuff. 0:04:37.160 --> 0:04:39.440 I think it's more in the emotional world, you know, 0:04:39.480 --> 0:04:41.640 It's more in the in that in that in that place. 0:04:41.680 --> 0:04:43.720 I mean, it's very it's unique and it's never been 0:04:43.720 --> 0:04:45.600 done before, you know, and I don't know if it 0:04:45.600 --> 0:04:47.440 will happen again for a long time. You know, this 0:04:47.440 --> 0:04:50.880 this particular thing. So I think it's hard to describe 0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:54.200 it and say to people. If you have a sibling, 0:04:54.200 --> 0:04:56.479 you know, you're close to you probably understand it. You 0:04:56.520 --> 0:04:59.120 probably can put yourself in those shoes and just kind 0:04:59.120 --> 0:05:00.960 of imagine what it's like to be across the sidelines 0:05:00.960 --> 0:05:02.640 in an NFL game, coaching your teams. 0:05:03.720 --> 0:05:04.720 Everything else is the same. 0:05:05.800 --> 0:05:09.400 Your parents handling it this week, And what's the conversation been. 0:05:09.320 --> 0:05:13.640 Like, Uh, yeah, it's been. It's been. We've talked about 0:05:13.680 --> 0:05:16.960 a lot of different things besides football. You know, is 0:05:16.960 --> 0:05:17.680 that off limits? 0:05:17.680 --> 0:05:17.840 Now? 0:05:18.040 --> 0:05:18.520 The football? 0:05:19.040 --> 0:05:21.240 It's not off limits, but it's really just not it's 0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:22.760 just what have we gott to talk about? You know, 0:05:22.760 --> 0:05:25.800 I mean everybody kind of understands the situation. They're not 0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:28.040 going to the game. They're going to watch it down 0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:30.760 in Florida at my sister house or with Joni and 0:05:30.800 --> 0:05:34.680 Tom Crane, and that's their plan. I understand why they're 0:05:34.720 --> 0:05:37.800 doing that. You know, it's it's great, but it's hard. 0:05:38.160 --> 0:05:40.800 It's our anniversary in practic is their anniversary? 0:05:40.920 --> 0:05:44.039 Yep, it is their anniversary November twenty fifth. They got 0:05:44.040 --> 0:05:51.599 married in nineteen in nineteen sixty, nineteen sixty one, because 0:05:51.600 --> 0:05:58.240 I was nineteen sixty two, right, sure, yeah, yeah, it 0:05:58.279 --> 0:06:03.839 was over a year later, so yeah, that'll be their anniversary. 0:06:04.200 --> 0:06:08.479 Technically, told the team stories about your guys's previous meeting, 0:06:08.560 --> 0:06:10.720 or stories like you just told us about growing up 0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:13.320 with Jim. What was it you told your players stories 0:06:13.360 --> 0:06:17.160 about you guys growing up or just to not really, 0:06:17.200 --> 0:06:17.440 I mean. 0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:19.320 I told we've talked, we've told some stories over over 0:06:19.520 --> 0:06:21.440 in the past, but not this week, you know, really 0:06:21.480 --> 0:06:24.240 this week it's it's there's it's just too it's two 0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:27.120 for the players and the coaches. It's not about that 0:06:27.160 --> 0:06:29.320 because we have such a challenge. I mean, the challenge 0:06:29.320 --> 0:06:31.880 is playing the game. Getting in that game and playing 0:06:31.920 --> 0:06:34.000 that game against that team is the biggest challenge you 0:06:34.000 --> 0:06:36.320 could have, you know, and that's what everybody's focused on. 0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:39.680 To your point, Obviously you're focused on the game. Jim 0:06:39.760 --> 0:06:43.440 focused on the game. Will there be a moment where 0:06:43.480 --> 0:06:46.520 you are able to step back from it and appreciated 0:06:46.839 --> 0:06:49.159 or have a moment with him at some point? Is 0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:51.080 that and is that different than maybe it would have 0:06:51.080 --> 0:06:54.080 been earlier in your guys' career when you faced each other. 0:06:55.160 --> 0:06:55.440 Uh. 0:06:55.680 --> 0:06:58.400 Sure, we'll talk before the game, you know, the chit 0:06:58.520 --> 0:07:00.400 chat before the game, and it'll be different because it's 0:07:00.400 --> 0:07:02.520 my brother, you know, than it is with other coaches 0:07:02.720 --> 0:07:05.080 and it'll be it'll be great. We had that kind 0:07:05.120 --> 0:07:07.159 of moment for the Thanksgiving game. We talked before the 0:07:07.200 --> 0:07:10.160 super Bowl same way, and they I don't think it's 0:07:10.200 --> 0:07:13.800 different in that sense. It's a it's really it's really cool. 0:07:14.360 --> 0:07:16.600 But you know, really, even when you're talking, there's your 0:07:16.600 --> 0:07:17.480 thoughts around the game. 0:07:17.760 --> 0:07:20.200 You know, the teams, John, this team, the Charges have 0:07:20.240 --> 0:07:23.840 already kind of turned the corner pretty quickly under jump. 0:07:23.880 --> 0:07:25.960 Can you when you watch the team, can you kind. 0:07:25.840 --> 0:07:28.120 Of see some of the elements that you can kind 0:07:28.160 --> 0:07:31.800 of pinpoint his fingerprint as to how this team has 0:07:31.880 --> 0:07:33.320 changed just within the last year. 0:07:33.400 --> 0:07:34.000 Absolutely. 0:07:34.040 --> 0:07:36.880 I mean to me, it's it's it's a it's a 0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:39.720 it's a reflection of his coaching style, it's it's a 0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:42.600 reflection of his football personality. I think they've taken that on. 0:07:43.200 --> 0:07:45.000 They've gotten those kind of people, and you guys all 0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:47.320 pointed out with your questions. I mean they've they they've 0:07:47.320 --> 0:07:49.600 surrounded themselves with people that that see the game the 0:07:49.640 --> 0:07:53.080 same way, and their team reflects that players and coaches 0:07:53.120 --> 0:07:54.640 and uh, they're doing a great job. 0:07:55.040 --> 0:07:57.560 Yeah, I Jim, have you can you ever remember facing 0:07:57.600 --> 0:08:00.160 with you or both the offensive ringer and the if 0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:02.679 it's coordinator had worked through you in the basket. 0:08:03.080 --> 0:08:05.640 No, no, I have to I can't say that I 0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:07.800 can recall that along those lines. 0:08:07.840 --> 0:08:09.600 I mean, when you look at the connections between the 0:08:09.600 --> 0:08:13.160 two teams, it's a long sheet of guys that are interchanged, 0:08:13.160 --> 0:08:14.240 I don't want to say interchangeable. 0:08:14.320 --> 0:08:17.160 They've worked for both our balls, right, it's a it's 0:08:17.200 --> 0:08:18.640 an amazing number. 0:08:18.880 --> 0:08:22.440 Does that change the game in any way in terms. 0:08:22.280 --> 0:08:24.080 Of planning and what the knowledge. 0:08:23.760 --> 0:08:26.440 Some of these people may have on you. 0:08:26.640 --> 0:08:29.440 It's different than other games, sure, because you know, we 0:08:29.520 --> 0:08:32.640 we we we know the schemes pretty much. But they'll 0:08:32.640 --> 0:08:35.640 be wrinkles, you know, there'll be ideas. It's it's kind 0:08:35.640 --> 0:08:37.960 of the old you know, they know what we know, 0:08:38.120 --> 0:08:39.920 that we know that, they know that we know that 0:08:39.960 --> 0:08:42.439 they know what we know, you know, and with that 0:08:42.440 --> 0:08:45.240 they'll be uh, they'll be wrinkles, I'm sure. But it's 0:08:45.240 --> 0:08:47.800 going to come down in the end to the players. 0:08:48.160 --> 0:08:51.079 Just just to emphasize that, you know, all the scheme 0:08:51.120 --> 0:08:54.440 stuff is important, but most important is really how the 0:08:54.440 --> 0:08:57.720 game is played, you know, and who plays the best 0:08:57.720 --> 0:09:00.480 football game out there in terms of making the plays 0:09:00.520 --> 0:09:03.640 and and playing discipline football and playing physical football and 0:09:03.960 --> 0:09:06.719 blocking and tackling all those things. The players. It's a 0:09:06.720 --> 0:09:09.720 players game. The players will be determining the outcome of it. 0:09:11.840 --> 0:09:13.800 Smith and is it and is he one of those 0:09:13.880 --> 0:09:18.080 players that you'll have to battle if he The trainers 0:09:18.120 --> 0:09:18.760 are saying, I don't know. 0:09:18.720 --> 0:09:19.480 About this season. 0:09:20.840 --> 0:09:24.160 Uh, he's he's working hard to get healthy. He's not 0:09:24.240 --> 0:09:25.360 ruled out by any stretch. 0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:28.800 I can say that. And uh, and he's working toward 0:09:28.880 --> 0:09:29.840 the game at this point. 0:09:31.080 --> 0:09:33.439 D one week away, Thanks, give me one week away. 0:09:33.640 --> 0:09:35.880 What do you look like? Fall understand? 0:09:36.000 --> 0:09:36.400 Gee? 0:09:36.920 --> 0:09:41.040 Oh gosh, that's a great question. You kind of forget 0:09:41.040 --> 0:09:43.800 to be thankful sometimes, But like I told the team, 0:09:43.000 --> 0:09:48.320 I'm grateful for the blessings of of family. First, I 0:09:48.400 --> 0:09:50.760 told the guys in the meeting, you know, you go 0:09:50.800 --> 0:09:54.079 through these these games and uh, you know, tough losses. 0:09:54.080 --> 0:09:56.839 You know we don't play as well as as we're 0:09:56.840 --> 0:09:59.599 capable of playing, and you know it it cuts you 0:09:59.679 --> 0:10:01.360 right to the bone. You know we all feel that way. 0:10:01.440 --> 0:10:03.800 And even in the winds, you know you still want 0:10:03.800 --> 0:10:05.360 to try to get better. It's all you think about. 0:10:05.880 --> 0:10:07.719 There's really not too many things I care about. You 0:10:07.760 --> 0:10:11.200 don't care about my relationship with my creator, you know, 0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:17.240 number one, and and my family. I really care about 0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:21.640 my family and the football team, you know. And I 0:10:21.679 --> 0:10:22.240 was joking with it. 0:10:22.280 --> 0:10:22.400 You know. 0:10:22.440 --> 0:10:24.559 It's like call your buddies up from college or something 0:10:24.600 --> 0:10:25.719 and want to know how they're doing, and you know, 0:10:25.760 --> 0:10:27.959 how's your family doing? You know. And the truth is, 0:10:28.040 --> 0:10:30.400 during the season, it's like I might ask. I'm sorry, guys, 0:10:30.440 --> 0:10:33.160 I might ask, but I really don't care. You know, 0:10:33.200 --> 0:10:36.400 I really don't care. I can't think about that because 0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:38.520 we have we have these these things that are so 0:10:38.559 --> 0:10:41.640 important to us going on right now, and I'm grateful 0:10:41.640 --> 0:10:44.679 to have those things in my life that are so meaningful. Faith, family, 0:10:45.040 --> 0:10:47.080 and for us football. You know, that's kind of what 0:10:47.120 --> 0:10:47.400 it is. 0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:53.920 We also heard from quarterback Lamar Jackson. 0:10:57.120 --> 0:10:59.079 So more one of the big stray lines. 0:10:59.120 --> 0:11:02.439 Of course, it's going to be John Jim Harball coaching 0:11:02.480 --> 0:11:06.760 against each other as as players. Does that even does 0:11:06.800 --> 0:11:08.800 that even you guys even think about it? Does it 0:11:09.960 --> 0:11:12.199 impact the game at all from a player level? 0:11:13.200 --> 0:11:14.839 To be honest, I don't think about it. I don't. 0:11:14.880 --> 0:11:17.960 I can't speak for everyone else, you know. I remember 0:11:18.000 --> 0:11:20.440 watching them play, uh well, not them literally playing against 0:11:20.440 --> 0:11:22.000 each other. But coaching against each other for the Super 0:11:22.040 --> 0:11:24.319 Bowl game. I remember watching that. I thought that was dope, 0:11:24.640 --> 0:11:25.920 but I don't think about it right now. 0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:29.559 In fact, there are so many connections on that team 0:11:29.640 --> 0:11:32.280 though that you to look about JK and Gush and 0:11:32.400 --> 0:11:36.360 Bows all playing there, guys that have if you weren't back, 0:11:36.360 --> 0:11:38.240 and you probably wanted to be here but weren't allowed, 0:11:38.320 --> 0:11:40.240 you know, to get off to come back. Yeah, the 0:11:40.280 --> 0:11:42.720 extra motivation they may have against you, you feel that, 0:11:42.800 --> 0:11:44.440 how do you you know? I mean, you're you know, 0:11:44.840 --> 0:11:47.560 obviously defending them, but just team wise, you sense what 0:11:47.559 --> 0:11:47.960 that means. 0:11:48.200 --> 0:11:51.120 Yeah? Absolutely, man, I know guy's gonna try to get 0:11:51.120 --> 0:11:54.520 after it. Those guys going to get after it. But 0:11:54.840 --> 0:11:56.440 I don't have to try to stop those guys, So 0:11:56.520 --> 0:11:58.480 I'm not worried about it. You know, I'm gonna be 0:11:58.520 --> 0:12:00.920 worried about pump punts on the board, but it's gonna 0:12:00.960 --> 0:12:03.000 be great to see those guys. I just don't want 0:12:03.040 --> 0:12:04.199 to have a good game against. 0:12:04.000 --> 0:12:08.160 Us Lamar know how superstitious you are with numbers. 0:12:08.640 --> 0:12:11.480 Say, now, you've had tremendous success though on Onday night football. 0:12:11.760 --> 0:12:15.000 Is there something that you embraced about that or do 0:12:15.040 --> 0:12:17.320 you realize Are you aware of the success you've had. 0:12:17.760 --> 0:12:19.240 Nah, I'm not aware at all. 0:12:19.320 --> 0:12:19.480 You know. 0:12:19.520 --> 0:12:21.920 I'm just playing football. It's something I love. Just trying 0:12:21.960 --> 0:12:23.120 to win, that's all. 0:12:23.600 --> 0:12:25.840 Do you think it's any help to them that obviously 0:12:26.240 --> 0:12:29.120 Jiro was here until two years ago, Jesse Minter, their 0:12:29.160 --> 0:12:32.400 defensive coordinator, was here until twenty twenty? Does that give 0:12:32.440 --> 0:12:33.560 them any any leg up? 0:12:33.600 --> 0:12:36.280 And I don't know. I can't call it. You know, 0:12:36.280 --> 0:12:37.920 I'm not over there in those guys meeting rooms. I 0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:40.360 don't really know what they're gonna bring to the table 0:12:40.360 --> 0:12:44.200 for those guys. I don't know. I really don't know. 0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:48.640 Lamar, slow start for the first two and a half 0:12:48.679 --> 0:12:52.400 quarters against Cinc. And then I'd imagine you can play 0:12:52.400 --> 0:12:55.280 as well offensively as you've like throughout the Pittsburgh game. 0:12:55.760 --> 0:12:57.480 What do you think is holding you back now? Is 0:12:57.480 --> 0:12:59.520 it a penalty issue more than anything? Or are there 0:12:59.640 --> 0:13:02.199 certain you're seeing that have given you guys submissions? 0:13:02.440 --> 0:13:02.560 Uh? 0:13:02.720 --> 0:13:05.880 Just being consistent when we're doing things out there on 0:13:05.920 --> 0:13:07.960 that field. We gotta be consistent and that's that's what 0:13:07.960 --> 0:13:10.240 we chasing. And we're not doing a good job at 0:13:10.240 --> 0:13:12.440 being consistent. You know. We here, we having our moments 0:13:12.480 --> 0:13:15.880 where going to the game scoring first drive. Then it's 0:13:15.880 --> 0:13:17.400 been a couple of weeks we haven't been going for 0:13:17.440 --> 0:13:19.240 a drive, you know, and it's just been taking us 0:13:19.240 --> 0:13:22.800 a little while to get our groove and we gotta 0:13:22.840 --> 0:13:24.560 rik on that. That's that's the biggest thing for us 0:13:24.600 --> 0:13:26.960 right now, just being consistent, like I said earlier, just 0:13:26.960 --> 0:13:28.560 putting points on the board, cause that's our job. 0:13:29.600 --> 0:13:32.800 This tortures defensive down fourteen points five points to gain, 0:13:32.880 --> 0:13:33.680 that's the NFL. 0:13:34.040 --> 0:13:36.439 When you look at that film, what makes this tortuous 0:13:36.480 --> 0:13:37.360 defensive cult. 0:13:37.520 --> 0:13:40.880 When they're just flying around creating chaos, getting turnovers, stuff 0:13:40.920 --> 0:13:44.120 like that, and that that'll be a that's a huge, huge, 0:13:44.320 --> 0:13:47.199 uh job for the defense to do, you know, for 0:13:47.280 --> 0:13:50.520 those guys to keep the offense out the field, create turnovers. 0:13:51.200 --> 0:13:53.880 That's possibly holding teams to fourteen points of lower. 0:13:54.040 --> 0:13:54.240 You know. 0:13:55.679 --> 0:13:57.400 That's all going back. 0:13:57.360 --> 0:14:00.120 To the consistency brought up. How do you have to 0:14:00.360 --> 0:14:05.120 go about either recapturing that or finding that just from 0:14:05.320 --> 0:14:08.400 you know, a practice standpoint and and kind of getting 0:14:08.520 --> 0:14:09.000 doctors out. 0:14:09.000 --> 0:14:13.480 I guess it starts in practice or just being locked 0:14:13.520 --> 0:14:15.719 in in practice at every little detail, you know, the 0:14:15.800 --> 0:14:19.800 smallest details things from the game that we probably made 0:14:19.800 --> 0:14:22.440 a mistake on cleaning that up. Small things like that, 0:14:22.520 --> 0:14:24.240 and I feel like we'll we'll be on our way 0:14:24.280 --> 0:14:26.560 to being consistent. Go back in the morning. 0:14:26.600 --> 0:14:27.280 That football team. 0:14:27.400 --> 0:14:28.680 You know, you your cliches. 0:14:28.760 --> 0:14:30.040 Everybody's watching and all. 0:14:29.960 --> 0:14:32.320 Wives are years What what do you like about by ice? 0:14:33.720 --> 0:14:33.840 Uh? 0:14:35.480 --> 0:14:38.680 We the only show everyone's watching. So that's a That's 0:14:38.720 --> 0:14:41.120 probably the biggest thing about it. And you just gotta 0:14:41.120 --> 0:14:46.280 get after it. And tomorrow real Thanksgiving, the one week away. 0:14:46.320 --> 0:14:50.120 One feet about us like foot four s, great health, 0:14:50.360 --> 0:14:55.280 my family being in the National Football League, Thank God 0:14:55.400 --> 0:15:01.080 God first, you know that's no brainer. But uh you guys, man, 0:15:01.120 --> 0:15:04.560 I appreciate y'all. Man, uh I just love life. I'm 0:15:04.560 --> 0:15:05.320 thankful for life. 0:15:06.880 --> 0:15:08.400 Oh my goodness. How do you kind of look back 0:15:08.440 --> 0:15:09.560 at your your time with Giro? 0:15:14.120 --> 0:15:16.200 It was good. I mean we had a lot of success. 0:15:16.600 --> 0:15:20.720 Uh no, won my first m v P g RO system. 0:15:21.560 --> 0:15:23.840 We had a lot of great seasons. I believe it 0:15:23.960 --> 0:15:28.880 was just short. It was just short. That's all all right, 0:15:29.440 --> 0:15:30.960 Thank you, appreciate y'all. 0:15:35.280 --> 0:15:46.000 Next to safety Kyle Hamilton, he ya, dude, So how's it. 0:15:46.040 --> 0:15:50.360 Gonna feel the You know you've tackled other running backs before. 0:15:50.480 --> 0:15:52.480 But when you see guys that we've actually played with, 0:15:53.000 --> 0:15:56.320 like JK and Gus Helsach, it could be feel any 0:15:56.320 --> 0:15:57.840 different when you're going against former guys. 0:15:58.320 --> 0:15:59.880 Uh No, I don't. I don't think so. 0:16:00.600 --> 0:16:02.200 I think before the game you maybe think about it 0:16:02.240 --> 0:16:06.120 once or twice, but while your plan is just nameless, 0:16:06.160 --> 0:16:09.400 faceless opponents. So you know, we're attacking this week like 0:16:09.440 --> 0:16:11.680 we would any other week. You look at the film 0:16:11.760 --> 0:16:13.520 that they played this year, just go back to the 0:16:13.840 --> 0:16:14.680 practice film. 0:16:16.120 --> 0:16:17.200 Had them as teammates. 0:16:17.560 --> 0:16:19.320 No, I mean it's week twelve now, so we got 0:16:19.440 --> 0:16:20.880 to get him out on tape that we can go off. 0:16:20.960 --> 0:16:23.480 But it's always good. I'm sure after the game will 0:16:23.600 --> 0:16:25.200 say what's up, and you know, it's always good to 0:16:25.240 --> 0:16:27.280 see those guys kindly. 0:16:27.400 --> 0:16:29.720 Yeah, you know, interesting storyline of this game is of 0:16:29.760 --> 0:16:33.280 course with two brothers Coach Jallam, but like kind of 0:16:33.320 --> 0:16:35.320 cool aspects and thin going into this. What are your 0:16:35.360 --> 0:16:37.600 thoughts on playing in a game where you have two brothers. 0:16:39.720 --> 0:16:42.080 Yeah, I've I've actually talked to coach ours about it 0:16:42.080 --> 0:16:44.720 a little bit here and there, like having breakfast whatever, 0:16:44.800 --> 0:16:49.080 And I think he's from his perspective he's done a 0:16:49.120 --> 0:16:52.560 good job just kind of managing emotions and you know, 0:16:52.760 --> 0:16:55.800 we still have a game to play. But at the 0:16:55.840 --> 0:16:58.240 same time, I think everybody else just understands it's kind 0:16:58.280 --> 0:17:01.720 of historic and it's cool to be part of history us. 0:17:02.320 --> 0:17:04.440 Correct me if I'm wrong, But I don't think this 0:17:04.560 --> 0:17:07.240 has happened before other than them playing each other the 0:17:07.280 --> 0:17:10.320 previous time. So, uh, it's always cool to see, like 0:17:10.480 --> 0:17:12.560 their family, what they've done and what they've done for 0:17:12.640 --> 0:17:14.520 football and be a part of it. And by the 0:17:14.600 --> 0:17:15.600 end of the day, we still got a job to 0:17:15.680 --> 0:17:16.919 do to. 0:17:17.000 --> 0:17:17.360 Him, though. 0:17:17.720 --> 0:17:20.280 Do you think this could be some fragging rights with 0:17:20.400 --> 0:17:23.479 this play? Yeah, yeah, for sure, for sure. I mean 0:17:23.560 --> 0:17:25.440 I know that me and my brother would would be 0:17:25.760 --> 0:17:29.280 having this bragging rights. And you know, I'm sure coach 0:17:29.440 --> 0:17:32.320 Jim is ready to play us again after the last 0:17:32.359 --> 0:17:35.560 time they played, and uh, you know, coach Harvest, being 0:17:35.600 --> 0:17:37.480 the older brother, gotta put him in his place. 0:17:37.560 --> 0:17:41.040 So it's pretty cool to be part of it in botsway. 0:17:41.160 --> 0:17:43.800 Do you think it matters at all that their GM 0:17:43.880 --> 0:17:47.000 came from their defensive coordinator game, premire their offensive coordinator 0:17:47.040 --> 0:17:47.480 game from here? 0:17:47.560 --> 0:17:47.879 Like, does that? 0:17:48.160 --> 0:17:49.720
