Especially for here. 10 00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:23,800 Speaker 3: At Yeah, I think an emotional game, emotional. 11 00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:25,239 Speaker 1: Uh stretch for us. 12 00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:29,040 Speaker 3: I meant something that this team organization hasn't done, and 13 00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:32,120 Speaker 3: it's done a lot, and again that doesn't do anything, 14 00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:34,760 Speaker 3: but again the grind of coming back and getting. 15 00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:37,440 Speaker 1: Prepared and uh staying in the game. We've played really 16 00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:39,400 Speaker 1: well in the second half. You know, That's what I'm 17 00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:40,680 Speaker 1: really proud of. 18 00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,040 Speaker 3: And sometimes you don't always know how these games are 19 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:45,680 Speaker 3: gonna go, and you know, we certainly have to start faster, 20 00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,360 Speaker 3: but really proud of the way that we played, you know, 21 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:53,000 Speaker 3: giving up uh three points in the last two halves 22 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 3: of a football uh offensively. Really, if we don't beat ourselves, 23 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,080 Speaker 3: it's been a good product. And is that that same 24 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,280 Speaker 3: way today? I love the fact that we're finishing with 25 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 3: the football special teams unfortunately you know, with a penalty, 26 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:10,040 Speaker 3: but you know, we had some good kick coverage, uh, 27 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,760 Speaker 3: some inconsistent kick coverage. So again, there was some good 28 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:14,520 Speaker 3: ones and there's some bad ones, and that's kind of 29 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:16,000 Speaker 3: where it's been. But in the end, I felt like 30 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 3: we did enough. So excited for these guys. 31 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,320 Speaker 2: You to come back, you and the team though, you 32 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,480 Speaker 2: know what I mean, not just yourself, but the whole emotion. 33 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 1: Of the day.

And I didn't have sleeves, you know, 39 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,720 Speaker 3: you know, probably we shouldn't have.

I'm happy 54 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,960 Speaker 3: for these players, you know, have a little bit momentum 55 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 3: and to continue to build it, uh throughout the week. 56 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 2: A chance of your name late in the game, do 57 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 2: you think that's your people people here? 58 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 3: Well, I didn't get that many tickets. I don't know, 59 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,960 Speaker 3: but that's that's neither here nor there. I mean, I'm 60 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,080 Speaker 3: happy for our players. I think these guys, you know, 61 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 3: they're figuring out how to win, they're figuring out how 62 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 3: to practice. 63 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 1: You know. 64 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:44,960 Speaker 3: I guess it's it's humbling to have these people wanna 65 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,800 Speaker 3: whoever that is cheer for us, whether that's the Patriots 66 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 3: or Drake may or you know me or anybody. 67 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 1: Else like you thought of the work and reminders Stevenson. 68 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:55,920 Speaker 3: Well, again it's not just the running back. And again 69 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 3: we we say the running back doesn't do a good 70 00:02:58,280 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 3: job and. 71 00:02:58,520 --> 00:02:59,359 Speaker 1: We gotta run it better. 72 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,400 Speaker 3: But we got a block better and I felt like 73 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 3: there were some running lanes, and when there weren't, we 74 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 3: were able to dig him downhill and be able to 75 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,360 Speaker 3: push some piles. We had some some double digit runs, 76 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 3: we had some dirty runs. It was great to see 77 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 3: us finished there at the end. Uh So, I think 78 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,679 Speaker 3: it's always a combination. And we took care of football 79 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,079 Speaker 3: and that's really the formula, and and they and they 80 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 3: made a mistake there that we. 81 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 1: Were able to capitalize all. Would you just mentioned the 82 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 1: turnovers again this. 83 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 3: Week's practice awareness, you know, just everybody else helping, but 84 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 3: you know, it's getting good to see us doing the 85 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 3: technique and the details that are important for those. 86 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 1: Types of things. 87 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 3: And you know, we're not putting the ball in harm's 88 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 3: way and guys going to making plays and quarterback throws 89 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 3: it in the tight windows. I think there's a I 90 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 3: think there's an athleticism to him that's really really cool. 91 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 3: I think he's really accurate from all different spots, whether 92 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 3: it's in the pocket, off platform. I mean, he'd really 93 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 3: done a nice job so far and spread the football around, 94 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 3: but there there's an accuracy to him that, uh that's 95 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 3: been really good for him From what would you say 96 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 3: that he's grown well. I mean there's a lot of 97 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 3: demand there from from Josh and myself, and I think 98 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 3: he's responded to that. As far as the leadership that 99 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,040 Speaker 3: he's had to show this offense and you know, kept 100 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:26,359 Speaker 3: talking about he wants to earn it. 101 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,280 Speaker 1: Well, I mean I've told him that he's earned it. 102 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 1: And I think. 103 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 3: He doesn't like something in practice and then he gets 104 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 3: it fixed, and if he wants a better Friday practice, 105 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 3: then he talks about it before we go out there 106 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,839 Speaker 3: on Friday. And you know, I think those guys respond 107 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 3: to him and the things that he says and the 108 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 3: way that he, you know, operates the. 109 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 2: Second he leaves the field there and you you talked 110 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 2: him about sliding the one. 111 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 3: That uh no, I I just wait for the doctor 112 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 3: to tell me how he's doing, get the next guy 113 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 3: in there, which is Dobbsy, and get a play in there. 114 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 3: And then when the when the trainers tell me that 115 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 3: he's okay, then we put him back in there and 116 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 3: we'll talk to him about, you know, protecting himself and 117 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,839 Speaker 3: being smart. But I think he's trying to do that 118 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 3: for the most part. 119 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 1: The second week road. 120 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 2: You guys got that double score you know around having there. 121 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 3: It is how critical is that very you know, we 122 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 3: just n you know, ending with the football in our hands, 123 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:25,599 Speaker 3: and you know, just the defensively, it was good that 124 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 3: we didn't give up anything cheap there with forty five seconds. 125 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,039 Speaker 3: Great job of taking a shot and having to be 126 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 3: there and and Drake putting a great ball, you know, Caseean, 127 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:35,839 Speaker 3: you know, making a hell of a catch there to 128 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 3: secure it and getting both feet in. 129 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 1: So anytime you can do that and double 'em up. 130 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,719 Speaker 3: Uh, A lot of positives involved, So hopefully that continues 131 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:45,919 Speaker 3: to be a trend. Wait to see the plays where 132 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 3: you had the southern and a half and drive and 133 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:49,720 Speaker 3: then come right up kield ball becomes up with that 134 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 3: busy stripsack from pleasing use not the complimentary football. Well, 135 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,160 Speaker 3: and then again whether that's uh the way that we 136 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,920 Speaker 3: covered the kickoff right, you know, Elli's going down there 137 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 3: and covering it at to twenty and a lot of 138 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 3: momentum there, guys running off the field or onto the 139 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:07,279 Speaker 3: field excited. Leads to a play I thought a really 140 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,599 Speaker 3: cool play was the second down Blaine makes a tackle 141 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:14,160 Speaker 3: forces at the third and one zacked out up a 142 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:18,040 Speaker 3: great call. Dugger covers the guy to the flat, Craig 143 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,360 Speaker 3: covers the guy you know on the hide and Milk 144 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,360 Speaker 3: gets a sack and forces him to punt. So that's 145 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,279 Speaker 3: the idea of some team defense and complimentary football. 146 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 2: And they said you moved on, but your player said 147 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 2: it was impertive that you leave here with the w 148 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 2: You've got guys talking about how they have a passion 149 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 2: for locking, that they just loved the team from boy 150 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 2: that you've built as a head coach here. When did 151 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:48,160 Speaker 2: you know that the guys preplauded that they were buying 152 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:49,160 Speaker 2: what you were selling At. 153 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 1: What point in this season? 154 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 3: Probably after you know, a Vegas game, and that's going 155 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 3: on the road to Miami and having a you know, 156 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,479 Speaker 3: difficult environment to play and the and the heat and. 157 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 1: The back and forth. 158 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:05,840 Speaker 3: And you know, I felt like that told us a 159 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 3: lot about who we were. We just you know, we 160 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 3: kind of dipped our tone of water the first game 161 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 3: and and I was really proud of what they did 162 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 3: and in practice and and going down there, and I 163 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 3: think that really showed him It's always been a tough 164 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 3: place for you know, us to play, So I think 165 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 3: that was really important for us, and and that created 166 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 3: a lot of positive momentum. 167 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 1: You know, we didn't get discouraged when we. 168 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 3: You know, had a bunch of turnovers, but you know, 169 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 3: I had a chance against Pittsburgh and then you know, 170 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 3: we played some pretty decent football and we played good 171 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 3: enough to win. 172 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 2: The last question, you've seen cam wardon take prior of this, 173 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 2: but what were your in person impression? 174 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 3: But I mean early on it was pretty good, you know, 175 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 3: I mean, I think decisive, this accuracy, and they did 176 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 3: a nice job early on. 177 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 1: Let our guys settle down, Thanks Bud.
