1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:02,520
Speaker 1: Thinks a little better since the last time we spoke.

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:07,560
Speaker 1: I don't know, I can't remember that far back, going

3
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 1: along just like we do. How do you feel just

4
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:12,639
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks the Running Game has been

5
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 1: able to get going a little bit. Just how do

6
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 1: you feel like that's been able to come to the decision?

7
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:20,119
Speaker 1: I don't know. You know, we've done a lot of

8
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 1: hard work on it. We have good backs, um. You know,

9
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 1: we've we have been more successful than we had been. Um.

10
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 1: I hope that's a sign that we're improving and heading

11
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:36,479
Speaker 1: in the right direction. So we'll see any kind of

12
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 1: correlation between the Running Game kind of got going again

13
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 1: this year and end of this year it got going

14
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,839
Speaker 1: to or front of the points it is time. I

15
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 1: don't know, probably coincidence, I think, I don't think it's

16
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 1: It certainly isn't by design. You know, we'd like it

17
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 1: to be consistent throughout and clearly that hasn't been the case.

18
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 1: So I hope that we're heading in the right direction

19
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 1: with it. Know we're we've always been committed to it,

20
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:04,319
Speaker 1: and we do have good back so we just have

21
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 1: to do our best to get him some room. Marshall

22
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: knew house slid in for Marcus Cannon plastic. I think

23
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,680
Speaker 1: that you know, Marshall's done this number of times or

24
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:20,320
Speaker 1: early in the season. In fact, in the first Miami game, Um,

25
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 1: he started after only being here a few days and

26
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: then we had an injury and he had to go

27
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: over play on the other side. And so he's just

28
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,039
Speaker 1: a you know, a very bright guy and a guy

29
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 1: that's played a lot of football in this league. And

30
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 1: so as a result of those two things, it's it's

31
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 1: not hard for him as it would be for a

32
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: younger guy. So I've been We've been pleased with the guy.

33
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 1: You know, he does everything we ask him to do.

34
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 1: He seem a little bit more comfortable on the right

35
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 1: side versus you know, I don't know, you'd probably have

36
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: to ask him that, but to me, he looks like

37
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 1: he's comfortable on either side, honestly, So I think he's

38
00:01:55,320 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 1: capable of playing either side. That's a good question. Well

39
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 1: kind of what uh, Ted Carriss, Yeah, he's done. I

40
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: mean he's been our starter throughout the whole season, So, um, Ted,

41
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: this is what Ted has been groomed for all his life.

42
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: You know, he's a guy that has a extensive background

43
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: in the NFL, by his family. He loves football. He's

44
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: loves football more than anybody. And I've known and uh

45
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 1: and so I think that you know, this is what

46
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 1: he's been preparing for it and he's he's a good player.

47
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 1: He's a solid guy, and he gives us everything that

48
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 1: we could want, uh or that we could ever ask for.

49
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 1: And that's all you can ask for is for that

50
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:40,839
Speaker 1: from a guy like that. So I really like the guy.

51
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 1: Have you seen strides? Yes, I do. You know, there's

52
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,920
Speaker 1: times clearly where he's has struggle, but there's plenty of

53
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: times where he's done really well against a lot of

54
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:56,399
Speaker 1: good players. So we just need we we need he

55
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: needs and I know he wants to be a more

56
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: consistent player in certain parts of it. And I think

57
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: we'll hopefully we'll see more of that going forward. Yeah,

58
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:14,799
Speaker 1: pretty much from the four years. I don't know, when

59
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 1: you guys saw him coming out here, did you vision

60
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 1: him kind of player? I think I don't know about

61
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: whether he's the better guard. I we all thought that

62
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 1: when we saw him at North Carolina State as a tackle,

63
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: we thought that this this was a really good football player.

64
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: He's a very bright guy, unbelievably smart guy and loves

65
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 1: the game, and so no, I don't think anyone was

66
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: surprised that, you know, he started from his very first game.

67
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 1: He's been a starter for every game since he's been here.

68
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: And I mean, guy's a good player. He really is.

69
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know where he ranks with anyone,

70
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 1: but I just I'm glad we got him, and I

71
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: really enjoyed coaching him.
