So I'm just really 26 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:31,160 Speaker 2: happy about that, and for Steve Bashatti Steven Renee both 27 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,320 Speaker 2: for what they do for us in terms of doing 28 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 2: everything first class so we can do things in a 29 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:37,760 Speaker 2: way that just gives us the best chance to be 30 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:39,760 Speaker 2: as good as we can possibly be. So it really 31 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 2: shows up on a trip like that with that, what 32 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 2: questions you have. 33 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 3: John, You just acknowledged all the work that goes into 34 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 3: that trip, and there's so much discussion about going earlier, 35 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 3: going later in the week. 36 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 2: But the other side of that, you know, for the most. 37 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 3: Part, over the years, teams have generally had their buy 38 00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 3: with some exceptions including you six years ago. What do 39 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 3: you do different only this week, if anything, to try 40 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 3: to get guys reactivated to be back in the Eastern time. 41 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 2: Well, you know, that's a great question. I don't really 42 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 2: know that we have any definitive like science on that, 43 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 2: but we're going to just get back to business as usual. 44 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:13,680 Speaker 2: We're going to try to get back on our schedule. 45 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 2: I think coming this way is kind of a good thing. 46 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 2: You're used to getting up, you know, because you're ahead 47 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 2: of time there. So we'll be back at it tomorrow 48 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:23,640 Speaker 2: afternoon with our guys doing what we do. They're going 49 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 2: to get a chance to sleep all day to day. 50 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,520 Speaker 2: If they want, they'll go to good Night's Rest tonight. 51 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 2: They don't have to come until till twelve fifteen on Tuesday, 52 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 2: and then we'll be pointed towards the Lions. 53 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 3: There's been a lot of interest among your fans about 54 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 3: the adjection call on Kyle, you know, kind of wondering 55 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 3: what the standard is. I guess is that something that 56 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,679 Speaker 3: you've given more thought to, or is this something you 57 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 3: canna lost the league about? Kind of where are you 58 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 3: going to? 59 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:49,919 Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I mean she certainly will ask the league 60 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 2: about it, because you just want to understand what the 61 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 2: parameters are I think really based you generally, it was 62 00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 2: definitely a flaggable penalty, no doubt about that. It was 63 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 2: helmet the helmet. The one thing I do know is 64 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 2: that Kyle certainly didn't intend to do that. He was 65 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 2: coming over trying to play the ball and their helmets hit, 66 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 2: you know, so and it was forcible, so it should 67 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 2: have been flagged. Beyond that, it's really a judgment call, 68 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 2: whether the officials on the field make it or whether 69 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:17,959 Speaker 2: it goes back to New York, which is my understanding 70 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,799 Speaker 2: it did in that particular case. It's a judgment call 71 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 2: on their part and they make it and you just 72 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 2: you just live with it. That's what it is. So 73 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 2: they'll explain it to us, I'm sure, and they had 74 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 2: their reasons for doing it, and that's the way it went, 75 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 2: and we accept that. 76 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 3: I don't think to go back to December of twenty twenty, 77 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 3: you guys fast. 78 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 4: Basically cut too snow and now it's become a huge 79 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 4: part of this defense. 80 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 3: How has he changed from that player to this point. 81 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 2: Well, it was kind of a numbers game at the time. 82 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 2: We still liked him at the time, and then we 83 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 2: brought him back right away, you know, and he came 84 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 2: available again. So I don't think it was ever a 85 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 2: thing that we didn't like Gino. But he's definitely a 86 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 2: developed into a heck of a player. You know, he's 87 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 2: grown so much bo since those days and he was 88 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 2: he was a good player then, but man, he's just 89 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 2: getting his opportunity. I think it's a good example of 90 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 2: someone that you know, takes care of the details on 91 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 2: a day to day basis, comes to work every day, 92 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 2: does his best, you know, doesn't doesn't complain, doesn't get 93 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 2: all caught up in things. Why is this not happening 94 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,279 Speaker 2: for me? Or that's not happening for me. Then when 95 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 2: his opportunity comes, he's prepared and he make the most 96 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:22,599 Speaker 2: of it, you know, And that's something that you just 97 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,280 Speaker 2: it's just great to see and it's a good lesson 98 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:26,599 Speaker 2: I think for young people, you know, if they're going 99 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 2: to watch it. I want to be great at something. 100 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,600 Speaker 2: I want to be a pro football player. Watch Geno 101 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:32,919 Speaker 2: Stone and what he's been doing with Gino. 102 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,040 Speaker 3: Is it just about him having a patient and patients 103 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 3: and now his opportunity as them or does he does 104 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 3: something differently recently that's who you not step into the role. 105 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 2: But it's a great question more than just patience. Patience, Yeah, sure, 106 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,480 Speaker 2: it's part of it because understanding that you don't determine 107 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 2: when the opportunity comes, but the fact that you do 108 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,599 Speaker 2: determine what you do to be prepared for the opportunity 109 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 2: when it comes. And what he's done every single day, 110 00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 2: which is work as hard as he can, be coachable 111 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,160 Speaker 2: and be his best one day at a time. Then 112 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 2: when the chance came, he was ready for it. 113 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 5: Have you got to send? 114 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 3: So Marcus Williams with a hamstring, if it's gonna be 115 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 3: something that's gonna keep him out a little while. And 116 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 3: and I guess just for him, I'm disappointing, you know, 117 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 3: because he's already deal with the peg to work his 118 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:13,280 Speaker 3: way back to. 119 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,839 Speaker 2: That and dealing with this. Yeah, it's for Marcus, you know, 120 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 2: it's challenging. It's kind of like it's how it goes sometimes. 121 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,359 Speaker 2: And it was he was trying to block on the 122 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 2: return the Gino's interception return and got kind of hit 123 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 2: sort of from behind it on the side, and that's 124 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 2: kind of made the hamstring string not a long term hamstring, 125 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 2: But hamstrings are finicky. So it's not gonna be a 126 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 2: couple of days. It might be. It's gonna be week 127 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,119 Speaker 2: to week probably. I think he's gonna be real iffy 128 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 2: for this week and then after that we'll see where 129 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 2: it goes. 130 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 5: Regarding not of you talked about getting back to business usual. 131 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 5: What went into that decision originally to do not have 132 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 5: the byway after this. 133 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:53,480 Speaker 2: Intercon Yeah, well it's not our choice. I legal. The 134 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,839 Speaker 2: way it works is they'll call every team and say, hey, 135 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 2: these are the options that you guys might be looking at. 136 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 2: You know, what would you prefer? Not we can't get 137 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,839 Speaker 2: guarantee anything, but what would you kind of rather prefer? 138 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 2: Would you want in this case early buy or late by? 139 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 2: And so it's not really decision that we make so much. 140 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:12,479 Speaker 2: It's like, would you rather I'm not we didn't really 141 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 2: want to have a buye too early, but they gave 142 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 2: us the late bye. It was in an early game 143 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 2: in London, So it's just the way work. We liked 144 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 2: the later by the early game in London is what 145 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 2: it is. We're playing the lines. It just turns out, 146 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 2: you know, arguably the best team in the NFC right 147 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:32,040 Speaker 2: now playing great football, and so that's where we're at. 148 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 3: You talked yesterday about how to be more efficient in 149 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,359 Speaker 3: the red zone. Probably the quickest path to that is 150 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 3: to be more efficient in the running game. 151 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 2: Especially on the power runs. 152 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:46,000 Speaker 3: When you looked at the tip of the game, did 153 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 3: you see a pattern to why I think it didn't 154 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,160 Speaker 3: work as well in the situations or I don't know, Yeah, I. 155 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 2: Mean, I don't know if there's any one theme. It's 156 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 2: always little things here and there. But you know, we 157 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,040 Speaker 2: were running into some big fronts there, you know what 158 00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 2: I mean, We try to spread them out. They didn't 159 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,359 Speaker 2: cooperate quite as much in terms of spreading out, and 160 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 2: then we didn't. You know, they did a good job. 161 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 2: They're a very good front. I mean, they've got some 162 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 2: very physical players. The whole game was like that. They 163 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 2: are a physical, tough run defense. We're going to see 164 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,840 Speaker 2: as or more this week against Alliance. So we're gonna 165 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 2: have to do a great job of game planning all 166 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 2: across the field, red zone, outside the red zone, run pass, run, 167 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 2: pass options, play action, all that stuff is gonna have 168 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 2: to be really well organized, and we're gonna have to 169 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 2: be prepared because we're going against just as good a defense, 170 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 2: are better, So it's part of that. We've got to 171 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 2: do a great job of game planning down there and 172 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 2: setting up the plays in a way that we can 173 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 2: try to find some advantage just for ourselves. 174 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 6: John the as much has been really consistent really all 175 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 6: here's one I think you seek too. Why you think 176 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 6: that is as an hand spot of fact, they got 177 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 6: to getting it from a lot of different people. 178 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, probably, Cliff, It is probably because it's a lot 179 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 2: of different people. You know, we are we're getting a 180 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,800 Speaker 2: pass rush production from everybody. It was a lot of 181 00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 2: times it was it was pressures early, which I think 182 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 2: you'd mentioned a couple of times. Now it's pressures and sacks. 183 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 2: We're starting. The sacks are starting to fall in place, 184 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,240 Speaker 2: and I think we've spent spoken about that in terms 185 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 2: of they come in bunches sometimes, so we want to 186 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:13,880 Speaker 2: keep the sacks coming. They did a great job yesterday 187 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 2: morning in terms of finishing off those sacks. You know, 188 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 2: getting the quarterback on the ground is kind of the 189 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 2: last straw. And even when the quarterback broke out a 190 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 2: couple times, whichever quarterback it was, Tannehill or Willis, our 191 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 2: guys were able to chase him down. So that's what 192 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 2: you want. 193 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 3: Have you been able to get any other updates on that, 194 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 3: any of the guys if you left the game, like. 195 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:37,320 Speaker 2: Urban or Samoa, Yeah, Urban is uh had some stinger issues, 196 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 2: so they'll be looking at those today. Who else Seymour 197 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:45,560 Speaker 2: and her like Seymour don't know too much more about. Uh, 198 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,840 Speaker 2: it's not gonna be overly serious. I don't think Harrison 199 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,840 Speaker 2: Malik concussion protocol. He's clearing very quickly on. 200 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,560 Speaker 3: That related to the age rushings and if you rest 201 00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:57,119 Speaker 3: over when to apologize. 202 00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:58,920 Speaker 2: But is there an update on Tyer Kaser? 203 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 4: Is his availability in or away? 204 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 2: Always looking close a job will give you, gave you 205 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:08,679 Speaker 2: some information, so I feel more free to kind of 206 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,720 Speaker 2: comment on that. But he's decided on that he's going 207 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,839 Speaker 2: to get himself back from the high ankle sprain and 208 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 2: he had like a sprain knee, I would say, so 209 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 2: he's he's going to be in the neighborhood here in 210 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:24,680 Speaker 2: the next few weeks, Uh, Tias. I'm gonna let Tias 211 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 2: comment on that, you know. So that's that's gotten a 212 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,960 Speaker 2: little more complicated over the last couple of weeks and 213 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,440 Speaker 2: really not really liberty to talk about it right now. 214 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,719 Speaker 2: But at some point in time, I'm sure we'll have 215 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:37,760 Speaker 2: an announcement on that one way or another. He's got 216 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 2: to make some choices and decisions. 217 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:41,319 Speaker 3: Let's you talk a lot about guys, would maybe the 218 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 3: most of the opportunities. 219 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,960 Speaker 1: Lately, just In that day one of those guys, Well, 220 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 1: what do you see from him that it has allowed 221 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:48,080 Speaker 1: to live now? 222 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:50,839 Speaker 2: Kind of like Gino, you know, I just think Justin 223 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:53,960 Speaker 2: is just very determined guy. And all he does is 224 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:55,720 Speaker 2: come to work every day and work as hard as 225 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,599 Speaker 2: he possibly can go along with this amazing amount of 226 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 2: talent that he has. His motor runs runs hot all 227 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,320 Speaker 2: the time. He just plays so hard, he's so physical 228 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:06,960 Speaker 2: and uh, you know, then all of a sudden boom, 229 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 2: a few plays happened. You start to notice some more. 230 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 2: But he's been playing like that all season. Is there 231 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:14,680 Speaker 2: anything about the US he missed. 232 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:15,040 Speaker 3: During your week? 233 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 2: You, Jerry, I missed you? Where were you? You weren't there? 234 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 2: The King was asking about you. The food The food 235 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:29,360 Speaker 2: was good, I tell you. Sarah Snyder and our people 236 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:31,440 Speaker 2: did a great job with their people and they were 237 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:32,559 Speaker 2: they were It was great. 238 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,840 Speaker 3: Challenge you like, I know, Keith Mitchell played special teams, 239 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,680 Speaker 3: which what does it work him into the rotation with 240 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:41,080 Speaker 3: Gus and Justice Hill over. 241 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 2: The next couple of weeks. Understandings and Muni still yeah, 242 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 2: absolutely absolutely, and he's he's going to be active now. 243 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:48,560 Speaker 2: Possibly he's got to earn it every week, sure, but 244 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,599 Speaker 2: he played well on special teams and he's done a 245 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:53,839 Speaker 2: good job in practice on offense the last two weeks. 246 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:55,960 Speaker 2: So uh, I'm sure that Todd will be looking for 247 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:57,360 Speaker 2: opportunities to get him involved. 248 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,440 Speaker 7: Don't even been able to watch over the last all 249 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:05,240 Speaker 7: your travels, but did you see anything particular in the 250 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 7: red zone situations that maybe the Titans did to uh there? 251 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 2: Uh, yeah, watched it all obviously, some of it last 252 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:20,199 Speaker 2: night on the plane we had a long flight, and 253 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:23,600 Speaker 2: then and then some of it this morning. There are 254 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,080 Speaker 2: no they didn't do anything different, if that's what you're asking. 255 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,280 Speaker 2: They ran their defense and uh, and it's a good 256 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 2: it's a good red zone defense. Uh. We just didn't 257 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:32,840 Speaker 2: get it done, you know. And I would I say, 258 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 2: coaches and players together. Uh, we've got to do a 259 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,599 Speaker 2: better job of game planning, a better job of executing, 260 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 2: you know, and we can do it. I mean we've 261 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:42,320 Speaker 2: you know, we've had great success in the red zone 262 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,080 Speaker 2: and then we have had now we've kind of had 263 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:47,079 Speaker 2: a drought here. So it's a long season. We're capable 264 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:48,959 Speaker 2: of being great in the red zone, and I'm sure 265 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:50,560 Speaker 2: we're gonna have a lot of success going forward, but 266 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:52,240 Speaker 2: we've got to find it, we've got to make it happen. 267 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:55,520 Speaker 3: Now you're done in the whole experience, do you feel 268 00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 3: like get paid off to take a completely different approach 269 00:11:58,040 --> 00:11:58,720 Speaker 3: to going to London? 270 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:00,560 Speaker 2: The semi did produce the. 271 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 3: Result that you want to produce. 272 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, wisdom is in the results, right, I mean, 273 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,440 Speaker 2: that's part of it. But I also feel like, to 274 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:08,760 Speaker 2: really answer your question is yeah, I think it helped us. 275 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:10,960 Speaker 2: I think it helped to be out there, to get acclimated, 276 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 2: to get the bodies right. I mean, he's I think 277 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,560 Speaker 2: people go to the Olympics, right, and the Olympics are 278 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 2: somewhere on the other side of the world. They don't 279 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,240 Speaker 2: go out there two days before the game. So I think, 280 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,319 Speaker 2: just looking back on it hindsight, it was the right 281 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 2: thing to do. The next time we go, I think 282 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 2: we'll probably do the same thing. 283 00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:31,560 Speaker 4: John, you haven't played at home game, I mean in 284 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,719 Speaker 4: four weeks, and I mean it doesn't that longs to 285 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,440 Speaker 4: be longer, and how much you're looking forward to not 286 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 4: getting on a plane. 287 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,319 Speaker 2: For a game of the year. You know, it doesn't 288 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,120 Speaker 2: really feel anything as far as like it's a great 289 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,440 Speaker 2: question because you just you just kind of take it 290 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 2: as it comes there. I know our guys are gonna 291 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 2: be excited to be at home, that's for sure. Our fans, 292 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 2: uh will be excited. I think for us to be 293 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:55,880 Speaker 2: at home, they'll be in the stadium going crazy. I 294 00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:57,760 Speaker 2: know the Lions have been traveling really well. I think 295 00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,840 Speaker 2: they've been filling up stadiums, so hopefully they don't fill 296 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,600 Speaker 2: up our stadium, you know, but it really doesn't matter. 297 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:05,679 Speaker 2: I mean, our our our fans are going to be loud, 298 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:07,839 Speaker 2: and they're gonna be into it. They're gonna be enthusiastic, 299 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,559 Speaker 2: and uh, our guys are gonna be excited to play 300 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:11,960 Speaker 2: in front of our fans. I can tell you that 301 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 2: you want to do a lot. 302 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:17,440 Speaker 4: Of teams that Walsh second teams in due to last 303 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:18,720 Speaker 4: Mini cakes missing. 304 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:20,679 Speaker 2: How great is he to have. 305 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,480 Speaker 3: A Justin Tucker to full back on? 306 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,760 Speaker 2: Well, there's nothing better in the kicking world than having 307 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:31,080 Speaker 2: Justin Tucker as your kicker in American football. I can 308 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:32,880 Speaker 2: tell you that it's the best thing. And he's the 309 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,920 Speaker 2: best kicker, so yeah, we uh we do take him 310 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,800 Speaker 2: for granted sometimes, uh, and he's not. You know, he'll 311 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 2: be the first to tell you he's not perfect, but 312 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:42,839 Speaker 2: he's close to it. So he had he had a 313 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 2: great game. 314 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 4: At the end of the half, you're up it against 315 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,280 Speaker 4: the long field goal, and then of course they fall 316 00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,719 Speaker 4: hold in delhis com But what are the decisions to say, 317 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:52,080 Speaker 4: We're not. 318 00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,719 Speaker 2: Going to talk around that one. Well, as far as 319 00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:56,079 Speaker 2: the field goal, part of it was that it was 320 00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:58,079 Speaker 2: kind of a three prong decision. The field goal part 321 00:13:58,120 --> 00:13:59,679 Speaker 2: of it was it was too far. It was just 322 00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 2: too the turf wasn't that it was a little bit 323 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 2: looser turf footing. Chances of making that were really really nil, 324 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,520 Speaker 2: I mean honestly. So the next thought would have been 325 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 2: run the clock down to a certain number, which is 326 00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 2: where about where it was, and go for it on 327 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 2: fourth down. The idea being we can complete a pass, 328 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:18,679 Speaker 2: but we gotta we got to get you know, we 329 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:20,720 Speaker 2: got to get out of bounds, get the time. I 330 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,080 Speaker 2: don't think we do. We have a timeout, I can't remember. 331 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 2: I don't think we did. So you're basically going for 332 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,760 Speaker 2: like a free play. You get a pass interference, you 333 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 2: catch the ball and run out of bounds. 334 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 6: Uh. 335 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 2: We talked about that. That would have been the aggressive play. 336 00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:36,960 Speaker 2: I decided against that just because I felt like, okay, 337 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,200 Speaker 2: but if it doesn't work and you don't convert, now 338 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 2: they have the same opportunity going the other way. They 339 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:43,400 Speaker 2: get a pass, you get a pass in afferance, or 340 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 2: they complete went out of bounds, and now they kicked 341 00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,320 Speaker 2: the field goal. And I just wasn't willing to risk that, 342 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:49,920 Speaker 2: you know the fact that as well as we'd played, 343 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:51,720 Speaker 2: we hadn't put as many points up as we were 344 00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 2: capable of putting up. And I didn't want to give 345 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 2: them a free opportunity at three points. So I made 346 00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 2: a conservative decision to do it. And then it worked out, 347 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 2: you know, agressively for us, because our punt team did 348 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:05,960 Speaker 2: such a great job. I mean great punt, a great punt, 349 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:09,120 Speaker 2: and a great coverage and then del Sean getting his 350 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:12,720 Speaker 2: first ever Fumbel recovery. It's set up three points. 351 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 5: John talked a lot about this week two week league. 352 00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:20,800 Speaker 5: Here he saw that this specifically undefeated forty nine ers 353 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:22,880 Speaker 5: lose to the rounds the back of the quarterback and 354 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:28,440 Speaker 5: see the Eagles lose him against a quote unquote inferior pumpy. 355 00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:31,480 Speaker 5: Can you just talk about how hard it is to 356 00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:33,680 Speaker 5: win in this league and how on you have to 357 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:35,480 Speaker 5: be as a staff and as players. 358 00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:38,840 Speaker 2: Well, you just said it. I mean, I think what 359 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 2: you said is exactly right, because the margin is not 360 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 2: as great as it appears, or as great as it 361 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:48,280 Speaker 2: kind of the media naturally, we all portray it because 362 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,560 Speaker 2: of outcomes. The margin is very thin in this league. 363 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:55,280 Speaker 2: It's razor thin. Everybody is right around five hundred or 364 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:58,000 Speaker 2: just above five hundred, just below five hundred in terms 365 00:15:58,000 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 2: of talent ability and coaching and all that other kinds 366 00:15:59,920 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 2: of stuff. So the difference is week to week. It's 367 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 2: your ability to you know, persist overcome, come up with 368 00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:09,280 Speaker 2: a good game plan, execute the game plan, and then 369 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 2: really make plays, make plays that win games and critical situations. 370 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 2: And that's who ends up ends up winning the game. 371 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 2: So you know, great players make great plays. So you 372 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 2: see quarterbacks and things like that, Guys like Lamar and 373 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,160 Speaker 2: Holmes and those guys can make the difference in games. 374 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:25,000 Speaker 2: But you know, I to look at Houston. We talked 375 00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 2: about them. I think everybody's saying, well, they didn't think 376 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,320 Speaker 2: Houston was a great team after we beat them in 377 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 2: the opener, and I think I said, wats They're gonna 378 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:33,520 Speaker 2: win a bunch of games this year. Right because you 379 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:34,840 Speaker 2: watched them and you knew they were going to be 380 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 2: a good team. So that's the greatness of the NFL, 381 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:38,200 Speaker 2: I think. 382 00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:44,200 Speaker 1: Thank you for listening.
