Yeah, I would 3 00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:08,160 Speaker 1: say with with all the injuries right now, I don't 4 00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:10,880 Speaker 1: have any updates for you guys. Um, you got in 5 00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:14,520 Speaker 1: late last night, so you know those wire. I'll get 6 00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:17,439 Speaker 1: more updates as the day goes on here and and 7 00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:20,600 Speaker 1: tomorrow we'll see where we're at Wednesday. That's really with ever, 8 00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:24,239 Speaker 1: that's really with every player. Okay, thank you all. My 9 00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:27,479 Speaker 1: question is, UM, look, you guys are out to a 10 00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:30,560 Speaker 1: full and one start and you're just you're coming off 11 00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:34,040 Speaker 1: a quality winning gets a quality opponent obviously, Um, as 12 00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:36,040 Speaker 1: a head coach, how do you keep these guys grounded 13 00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:37,919 Speaker 1: to make sure they just don't get a little bit 14 00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:41,560 Speaker 1: ahead of themselves. Yeah. I just think we stay consistent 15 00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 1: with how we approach things during the week. Again, regardless 16 00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:48,320 Speaker 1: of result, whether you lose, whether you have a losing 17 00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:51,040 Speaker 1: record a winning record, I don't think you can focus 18 00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,559 Speaker 1: on on your record. You have to focus on what 19 00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,320 Speaker 1: you need to do to improve throughout the week and 20 00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,040 Speaker 1: for the team that you're playing against, and be as 21 00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:02,160 Speaker 1: consistent as you can with that. You know, and we've 22 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,000 Speaker 1: tried to do that as a coaching staff, I know 23 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,280 Speaker 1: the players have tried to do that, and and that's 24 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,400 Speaker 1: how we'll approach it every week, regardless of the outcome. 25 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:11,720 Speaker 1: What do we need to do to fix, you know, 26 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 1: the things we want to fix and improve on, build 27 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,640 Speaker 1: off the things we've been doing well, and you know, 28 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 1: be as prepared as we can going into you know, 29 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:27,679 Speaker 1: the next game. Thank you, Dan dug In. Hey, Brian, Uh, 30 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 1: they had a lot of success in the first half, 31 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 1: kind of those quick passes to the flat, like those 32 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 1: out routs, and not so much in the second half. 33 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 1: What did you change to take those away or at 34 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:40,760 Speaker 1: least to tear that Yeah, well, I think again, some 35 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 1: of those plays Aaron checks too. I think I don't 36 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:45,760 Speaker 1: want to speak on behalf of their offense, but he 37 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 1: has a pretty good idea. You can see him signaling 38 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 1: too receivers, and you know, I think that's predicated on 39 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 1: you know, sometimes the defensive look. Um, they did a 40 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 1: few of them in the second half, far less of them. 41 00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 1: But again I just think that, you know, our our 42 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 1: players executed, you know, the defenses that Wink called and 43 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 1: defensive coaches called, and it was good communication. We knew that, 44 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 1: you know, during those first few drives. That was something 45 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 1: that they were they were getting to. It's better than 46 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,360 Speaker 1: the fifty yards over your head. Um. But again, you know, 47 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 1: I think Wink did a good job of mixing it up. 48 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 1: And I want to follow up, you're missing the fifty 49 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 1: yards over the head. You haven't given up a lot 50 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 1: of those. I mean, I guess I'll knock on wood 51 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 1: for you. But I think it was sort of the 52 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 1: uh if there's a weakness and Winks defense, especially last year, 53 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 1: that's what happened. You know, you you kind of come 54 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 1: after teams so much you can get beat to the top. 55 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:33,799 Speaker 1: Why do you think you guys have been able to 56 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 1: play the style and not get beat deep very often? 57 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:38,960 Speaker 1: I think the guys have done a good job of 58 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,960 Speaker 1: of executing, of playing the techniques and the fundamentals that 59 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 1: you know, again, most of it is a lot of 60 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 1: times it's the safeties, Um, they're the last line of 61 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 1: defense and playing the deep part of the field and 62 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 1: reading the quarterbacks eyes and again when we play man 63 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 1: and man coverage of trying to do a good job 64 00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 1: of staying on top and playing the ball. Again, big 65 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 1: play is are you know? They usually result in some 66 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 1: form of points. But even the ones that we've given 67 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 1: up to this point, our guys have done a good 68 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 1: job of lining back up and you know it was 69 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,960 Speaker 1: a long run by McCaffrey, whatever it may be, of 70 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 1: of playing the next play and again earlier in the year, 71 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:20,800 Speaker 1: you watch the league a lot of those big plays, um, 72 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 1: you know, there's just nobody back there. There's either a 73 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 1: breakdown and as the season goes on, when you're watching 74 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,519 Speaker 1: the league and you're you're looking at teams, usually that's 75 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 1: tightened up and it's a really good design by the 76 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,800 Speaker 1: offense or just a really good play by a particular 77 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 1: skill receiver. So it's something that we work on. I 78 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 1: think that Jerome and try or to do a great 79 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 1: job in the back end with those guys, and we 80 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 1: test them as much as we can during the week, um, 81 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 1: to try to prevent those It's it's hard to do 82 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 1: when you have a really good team that can push 83 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 1: the ball down the field. But that's part of playing 84 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 1: you know, the deep part of the field in terms 85 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 1: of secondary and also goes along with the rush to 86 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 1: you know, if you can get home and make them 87 00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 1: throw it quicker than some of those are m it 88 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 1: takes a little bit longer. Jordan ran on, Hey Brian, 89 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 1: what's going on? I know you don't have an update 90 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 1: on injuries. But with first Quan, he obviously came back 91 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 1: into the game. Is that something he's gonna go he 92 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,160 Speaker 1: needs to get checked or how does what's the process 93 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 1: and that now you're talking about moving forward? Yeah, like 94 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 1: does he have to go get tests on his shoulders? 95 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 1: Is there more as he You know, I think I 96 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,560 Speaker 1: think anybody that anybody that gets you know, quote unquote 97 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,920 Speaker 1: injured or dinged up during the game, our medical staff 98 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 1: will I'll look at him, will treat him during the week. 99 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:44,480 Speaker 1: Um again, we'll go to the doctors and get it, 100 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 1: you know, m R I or something special on it 101 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 1: like that. Yeah, I think, I think whatever we need 102 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 1: to do. Uh. And again I'm not at that point 103 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,039 Speaker 1: right now. It's a late night of travel. Whatever we 104 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 1: need to do for him, we'll do um and hopefully 105 00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:01,360 Speaker 1: he'll be ready to go. And and uh, it's something 106 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 1: that you know, I've heard a bunch today. You heard 107 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 1: it yesterday after the game, and you know, you're like, 108 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 1: you're the worst four and one team. What do you 109 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 1: think when you even hear that? Yeah, I don't focus 110 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 1: on any of that stuff. Whether again, like I said 111 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,480 Speaker 1: earlier Chris's question, our our job is to go out 112 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:20,919 Speaker 1: there and take a look and correct the things we 113 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 1: need to correct each week, focus on, you know, our improvement, 114 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 1: some of the things we can do better, build off 115 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,159 Speaker 1: some of the things we have done, okay, and get 116 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,240 Speaker 1: ready to play our next opponent. Um, that's all we 117 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:36,159 Speaker 1: can control. How much does you maybe at least chuckle 118 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 1: at death saying, hey, you know, we're we need we're 119 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 1: winning games in the NFL. That's all we care about here. Yeah, 120 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 1: I mean quite honestly, Jordan, I don't. My focus is 121 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 1: on trying to do what we need to do each 122 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,240 Speaker 1: week and be as consistent as we can all. You know, 123 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 1: whether we're four and one, one and four, whatever our 124 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,279 Speaker 1: record is, that's what our record is. It's it's always 125 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 1: about improvement and trying to do the best job you 126 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:58,840 Speaker 1: can each week to to play your best and coach 127 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 1: your best. Tom Cannonman, Hey, Brian, how you doing? Hey 128 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:11,479 Speaker 1: Tom good? How are you good? I want to build 129 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,919 Speaker 1: off a question that Dan asked earlier about those little 130 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 1: check passes that he was throwing Rogers. It seemed that 131 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,799 Speaker 1: the balls in the air and their receivers are already 132 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 1: engaging your defensive backs. Shouldn't that be passing interference? Yeah, 133 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 1: that's up to the that's up to the officials. Um. 134 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 1: So you know, I know the way that we teach it. Again, 135 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,920 Speaker 1: those are bang bang type of plays, um. So you 136 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,479 Speaker 1: try to hold off the best you can so that 137 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 1: when the receiver catches it, you know, you're kind of 138 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:52,360 Speaker 1: simultaneously blocking. And again those are those are quick plays. Um. 139 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:57,480 Speaker 1: But any of those questions I'd leave to the officials, okay. 140 00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 1: And the other question I have is did you take 141 00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:03,280 Speaker 1: the the restraints off Daniel in the second half? I mean, 142 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 1: because it seemed like he just started running a lot more. No. 143 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 1: I think that when the opportunity present itself in terms 144 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 1: of scrambling, he did a good job of making the 145 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 1: right decision on a couple of those action plays. Um. 146 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 1: And then in terms of you know, a couple of 147 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 1: the runs that we had, whether it was zone reads 148 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 1: or specifically for him, you know, we waited until the 149 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 1: second half to get to those. Uh, you know, it 150 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 1: was part of you know, halftime communication. Thank you, Bryan 151 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 1: don Levy, Hey, Brian, how are you good? Ryan? How 152 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 1: are you good couple for you? Um, if I could 153 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 1: take you back to like January when you were interested 154 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 1: in this job, obviously there's it's only one of thirty two, 155 00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 1: and the Giants are historic franchise and there's a lot 156 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 1: that goes into that. But roster wise, you obviously wouldn't 157 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 1: take a job you thought you didn't have a chance 158 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 1: to win. And I've heard you say players win the games. 159 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 1: Did you think this was a more talented roster than 160 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 1: maybe the outside perception of it, because you have a 161 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 1: lot of former Giants draft picks, whether it's a Kuwon McKinney, 162 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 1: Lawrence playing at a really high level that I would 163 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 1: think is promising for a foundation versus like you know, 164 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,080 Speaker 1: obviously anybody playing good as well. But like if it 165 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 1: was a bunch of like rental free agents, all your 166 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 1: young players are playing well. So did you see a chance? 167 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:32,680 Speaker 1: Did you see a chance for this is a place 168 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 1: with young players that could play well. No, I understand 169 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 1: your question. I just I kind of live in the 170 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 1: moment here, Ry Um and just my experiences dealing with 171 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,079 Speaker 1: the guys from O T A. S to to training 172 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:52,200 Speaker 1: camp into the preseason. Um, these guys give everything they have, UM, 173 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 1: And I'm you know, I'm honored to coach the guys 174 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 1: and be the coach of the Giants, like I've said before, 175 00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:00,719 Speaker 1: but you know, each guy tries to get better, um 176 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:02,960 Speaker 1: at the things that they need to do. And everybody 177 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 1: on our team is important obviously, Guys like Dexter and 178 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:11,200 Speaker 1: sa Quan and x you know Leo when he was 179 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,320 Speaker 1: was out there. You know they're they're good football players. 180 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:16,839 Speaker 1: But it takes you know, it takes all of us 181 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 1: too to continue to improve and do well. UM. And 182 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 1: you saw people you know yesterday like Lane made a 183 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:25,839 Speaker 1: couple of plays there in the fourth McLeod made a 184 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,959 Speaker 1: plan across and route guys that haven't been here a 185 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,720 Speaker 1: very long time. That again, that's our that's our philosophy 186 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:34,640 Speaker 1: here is make sure as a coaching staff we get 187 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 1: everybody up to speed as quick as we can and 188 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 1: everybody contribute in a positive way. And the other thing 189 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 1: I wanted to ask is I don't have the number 190 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 1: in front of me, and I should shame on me, 191 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 1: but you guys are outscoring your opponents at a really 192 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 1: high level in the second half. My question is, what's 193 00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 1: a typical halftime like for you guys, could you just 194 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 1: like tell it. Obviously you talked to the team. Do 195 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 1: you are you drawing up plays on your board at halftime? 196 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,680 Speaker 1: Is it just conversation, like what do you put what's 197 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,560 Speaker 1: happening in those twenty minutes that you guys are so 198 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 1: much better in the second half than your opponents. Yeah, 199 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:15,320 Speaker 1: I would say Ryan, the communication goes on throughout the 200 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:19,600 Speaker 1: entire game, even in the first half. Um and things 201 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 1: that we think we need to try to fix, or 202 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:23,720 Speaker 1: how we're getting too attacked. I think the coaches do 203 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,720 Speaker 1: a great job on the sideline. Again, at halftime, you 204 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 1: have a you know, a little bit more time to 205 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 1: to talk about it, um and to really give the guys, Hey, look, 206 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 1: this is how the game's kind of unfolded. This is 207 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 1: what we want to get to. It's not like a 208 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,840 Speaker 1: mass overhaul of you know, twenty new plays or things 209 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:42,960 Speaker 1: like that, but there might be you know a few 210 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,320 Speaker 1: things that you know, we're stressing that. Look, this is 211 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,960 Speaker 1: how we think they're attacking us. From a coaching side, 212 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 1: here's how we think we can counter that. So I'd 213 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 1: be alert for this, this and this. You know, here's 214 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 1: a few plays we want to start out with the 215 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,640 Speaker 1: second half to you know, whether it was a compliment 216 00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:59,440 Speaker 1: of the player or maybe it is something that we 217 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 1: saw that we change a little bit. But again i'd 218 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:07,360 Speaker 1: say that the coaches, and starting with with Wink and Kafka, 219 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 1: you know, they get together with their staffs, but that 220 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,800 Speaker 1: communication ryan when things are going on, when the defense 221 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 1: is out there in the second quarter, that's you're still 222 00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 1: talking about that. But then you you know, and you're 223 00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,200 Speaker 1: if you have to adjust again, if you have to 224 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,560 Speaker 1: adjust in the middle of the second quarter, or you know, 225 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,439 Speaker 1: usually offenses, you know, go a couple of series and 226 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 1: you've got got a good idea of all right, this 227 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 1: is how they want to attack us, or the same 228 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 1: thing defensively, So you're constantly communicating It's not hey, let's 229 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,679 Speaker 1: just wait till the half to get these things fixed. 230 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 1: Let's try to fix them now and then maybe you've 231 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,320 Speaker 1: got a few more ideas. You know, it's you kind 232 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:44,040 Speaker 1: of be composed at at halftime and again, this is 233 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,560 Speaker 1: what we think they're doing. This is what we either 234 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:48,960 Speaker 1: have to continue to do or change a little bit. 235 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:51,560 Speaker 1: And then you go out there and you're ready to go. 236 00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:57,680 Speaker 1: We have time for two more Kim Jones and then 237 00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 1: d Valentine Davis. It's cam I have too Coy If 238 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:06,720 Speaker 1: that's okay as well, Thank you, Hire Good. I'm just wondering, 239 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 1: like watching the game from home yesterday, if I didn't 240 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 1: know Daniel had had the ankle injury, I don't think 241 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,719 Speaker 1: I would have seen that watching on television. Has he 242 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 1: did he throw that that period? Show you anything whether 243 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:24,280 Speaker 1: about toughness, commitment, fluffing off what what? Maybe could have 244 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:27,680 Speaker 1: sidelined at least for some period of time another player. Yeah, 245 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,200 Speaker 1: I think I've I've gotten to know him pretty well 246 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:34,280 Speaker 1: here these last few months. Uh. He's a very mentally 247 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 1: tough kid, I shouldn't say young man, but he's also 248 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 1: physically tough and I got to see that here just 249 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 1: throughout the week, Um, you know, getting prepared for this 250 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,760 Speaker 1: team that we had to play and their defense, which 251 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:51,000 Speaker 1: you know they have some some pretty good guys up front. 252 00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:54,920 Speaker 1: But um, he's he's really tough. You know, he didn't 253 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,720 Speaker 1: want to miss any reps and you know we also 254 00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,360 Speaker 1: had to try to get Davis ready to go so 255 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:05,720 Speaker 1: again that when each day he got a little bit better, Kim, Um, 256 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:07,680 Speaker 1: you know he's pretty sore. I'd say, after the game 257 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 1: and then the next day, and he's in here as 258 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 1: long as he can be in here getting treatment. So 259 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 1: one he cares about the team. Um, and he did 260 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 1: everything you could do to be as ready as he could. 261 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:22,560 Speaker 1: And I'd say, you know, he's you know, for the 262 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 1: first five weeks that I've been with him in the 263 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:28,520 Speaker 1: regular season, I think he's exhibited his toughness, both mental 264 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:33,360 Speaker 1: and physical, um, every day I've been around him. My 265 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,720 Speaker 1: second one is, I guess a similar theme but about 266 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:41,040 Speaker 1: a different person. Wink Martindale is you know, just such 267 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,880 Speaker 1: an interesting guy to stand in front of him and 268 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,400 Speaker 1: listen to some of his answers with obviously a lot 269 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:51,920 Speaker 1: of experience. Have you seen anything from Wink that or 270 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:55,080 Speaker 1: what did you see from Wank where you were like, 271 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,680 Speaker 1: this is the guy I want to leave my defense. Well, 272 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:00,800 Speaker 1: he has a lot of experience, and he's been pretty 273 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 1: successful in this league as a defensive coordinator. And I 274 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:10,720 Speaker 1: think he does a great job communicating with the players. 275 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,600 Speaker 1: I think he does a great job communicating with his staff. 276 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:20,840 Speaker 1: He's smart, and I just think he's very prepared and 277 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 1: he's composed on the sideline and you know, as a 278 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 1: as a play caller that's done it for for some time. Myself. 279 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,000 Speaker 1: That's not always the easiest thing to do when things 280 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 1: aren't going great. But he's he's very composed, he's he's 281 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 1: very good with the coaches and the players on the 282 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,800 Speaker 1: sideline and during the during the week. I mean, he 283 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:44,040 Speaker 1: gives his players ownership to our defense, which is important, 284 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 1: and and also with the coaches as well. So I'm 285 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 1: happy he's part of our staff. I think he's a 286 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 1: fantastic coach and he's even a better person. Yep, you 287 00:14:54,160 --> 00:15:02,000 Speaker 1: got it, Valentine. Hey Brian, just one for you to 288 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 1: finish up here. Um, you waited a long time for 289 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:09,080 Speaker 1: this opportunity. A lot of people are surprised that you 290 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 1: guys are four and one at this point. I saw 291 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 1: multiple stories this morning that Brian Dables Coach of the Year, 292 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:20,320 Speaker 1: a lot of praise for the coaching staff at this point. 293 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 1: I mean, how do you react, you know, at this 294 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:26,280 Speaker 1: point to all of that kind of chatter. Uh, yeah, 295 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 1: I'd say it's all about the players. Give those guys credit. 296 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:32,680 Speaker 1: They're the ones that come in every day, work extremely hard, 297 00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 1: do everything they can do during practice in the film room, 298 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 1: and I'd say the coaches, Uh do an excellent job. 299 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:42,400 Speaker 1: The trainers. It's a team. Everything is a team effort here. 300 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,640 Speaker 1: Um you know, we've only played five games, so this 301 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:47,680 Speaker 1: is a very humbling league. It can it can get 302 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 1: you quick, so focus on the next game. The things 303 00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:55,080 Speaker 1: again we can do better, which there's certainly plenty of them. Um, 304 00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:57,600 Speaker 1: you know, will continue to work and try to improve 305 00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:01,080 Speaker 1: in those areas. But it's you know, it's all about 306 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 1: our team and and try to get better each day.
