I felt like in the open field, a 115 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 1: lot of them were on third down, so you know, 116 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:52,279 Speaker 1: I'm not going to slide before the sticks. I'm gonna 117 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,160 Speaker 1: try to get the first down. So you know, I 118 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 1: don't really I don't really regret any of those decisions 119 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,599 Speaker 1: that I made, both the stuff far at the end 120 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 1: of that long run, Yeah, maybe that's not the smartest 121 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:01,160 Speaker 1: with my thrown hand. 122 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 2: You know, I didn't really like the way he was 123 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 2: looking at me. So those are physical recovery, like the 124 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 2: last couple of days, Like how different was it compared 125 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 2: to other weeks. 126 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:14,279 Speaker 1: I mean I ran the ball a lot in college, 127 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 1: so there's definitely times in college where my body, you know, 128 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,800 Speaker 1: felt it after games. And I think anytime you're just 129 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 1: it's just football, so you're not always going to fill one. 130 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 2: Hundred percent, you know, after the game. 131 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,040 Speaker 1: But you know, we have a really good training staff here. 132 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,360 Speaker 1: You know, we have a lot of you know, assets 133 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,160 Speaker 1: that we can use to you know, make sure our 134 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:33,479 Speaker 1: bodies are ready for next week. 135 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 2: So you know, these these last few days have. 136 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 1: Been you know, really crucial for me and and and 137 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 1: you know, making sure that I'm on the right track 138 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,360 Speaker 1: and filling a one hundred percent for Sunday. Really tape 139 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,279 Speaker 1: on and then you have the tights on, like just 140 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,160 Speaker 1: as that's something you're just managing or yeah, I mean 141 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 1: I always wear you know, compression sleeves you know, on 142 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 1: on my legs and whatnot. So now that hasn't really 143 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 1: changed anything, but that'll be good to go. 144 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 3: In the last few days been like few in life, 145 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,840 Speaker 3: you know, just after that game and a lot of 146 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 3: focus on you and attention have your hands. 147 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:08,159 Speaker 1: That Yeah, it was good to you know, have my 148 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,360 Speaker 1: family here, so you know, it's fun to spend a 149 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 1: little bit of time with them. Obviously, it's a better 150 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 1: feeling walking out each week to a win, So you know, 151 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:19,160 Speaker 1: I felt like that was good for the locker room 152 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 1: and for the guys. But at the same time, it 153 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:23,479 Speaker 1: was just one game, so we got a long season, 154 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,360 Speaker 1: and that's just kind of how I view it. You know, 155 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:28,159 Speaker 1: don't make it anything bigger than what it is. It's 156 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 1: just one game. And you know, our mindset has to 157 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 1: be to to win every game that we play. 158 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,560 Speaker 2: So how do you make it two games? Just you know, 159 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,159 Speaker 2: have the same mindset, you know, each and every week. 160 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 1: You know, we got to be able to have, you know, 161 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 1: the competitive mindset, you know, to expect to win, and 162 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:48,359 Speaker 1: you know, and just try to create situations where, you know, 163 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:50,600 Speaker 1: maybe we face a little bit of adversity in practice 164 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 1: and just go through that. But I think it's really 165 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 1: just the habits you try to create each and every 166 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 1: day to you. 167 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,039 Speaker 2: Know, build that momentum, momentum. 168 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,279 Speaker 1: And being able to, you know, if you make a mistake, 169 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,480 Speaker 1: clean it up on the very next play and get 170 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 1: things right. 171 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 2: Jackson's of the guys. 172 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 3: Last week, we're saying you know, just getting to know 173 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 3: how you like to prepare for a game.
