You know, 322 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 10: both of them are dogs, gonna be great to have 323 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 10: them back out there. But again, I trust everyone on 324 00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,240 Speaker 10: this team, whether it's it's them or anyone else. 325 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 5: So it's really kind of what Jonas just asked. 326 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:18,960 Speaker 8: I mean, zach Or has kind of gotten beaten up 327 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 8: in the media, but a lot of people over. 328 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,680 Speaker 3: The first month of the season here, what do you 329 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:25,280 Speaker 3: hear any of that? And what would you. 330 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 5: Say in his defense? 331 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 10: I don't hear any of that really, No, I don't 332 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 10: pay attention to you know, the outside social media and 333 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:32,600 Speaker 10: all that. But I think zach Or is a great 334 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 10: coach and he puts us in the positions to to 335 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:37,200 Speaker 10: be great and make plays. So again, it's on us 336 00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 10: as players to go out there, execute the scheme and 337 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,200 Speaker 10: make the plays what our numbers called men. 338 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:45,960 Speaker 1: Just feel the sense of emergency at practice? Is there 339 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 1: anything to sit out to the just practice wise? 340 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:51,080 Speaker 10: It did you feel like yeah? I think just it 341 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 10: felt like we were all again doing our one of 342 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 10: eleven and you can tell, you know, when we're playing 343 00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 10: that way. So I felt that today it's going to 344 00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 10: go in watch the film and again just take it 345 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 10: day by day, continue to just focus on small details. 346 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 8: Do you feel like this team has good habits? 347 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:07,200 Speaker 5: But at this point one hundred percent? 348 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:07,439 Speaker 11: Yeah. 349 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,240 Speaker 10: I think it's about having these habits and continue to 350 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 10: build on them and just continue to, you know, make 351 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 10: the habits even better than they already are. So I 352 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 10: think day by day it'll it'll it'll. 353 00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:16,800 Speaker 5: Get better for sure. 354 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 10: Right, Thank you, appreciate appreciate it. 355 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:26,440 Speaker 1: In the locker room today we heard from wide receiver 356 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:27,360 Speaker 1: Shot bait. 357 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 7: Shot. 358 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 6: I've been ideally the team isn't where it wants to 359 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 6: be right now, but what kind of is the mindset 360 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,520 Speaker 6: of the balance of knowing it's week by week, this 361 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 6: is not the start you wanted and there's some injury 362 00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:40,680 Speaker 6: adversity ahead for you. 363 00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,600 Speaker 4: I just think we got to lock in and you know, 364 00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 4: man up and myself and know the cars toay you 365 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 4: know what I'm saying, that we got right now and 366 00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:51,120 Speaker 4: you know, find ways to be better.

So hopefully we can 368 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 4: do that, we can get back onto that. 369 00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 6: Mark was telling us outside that for a backup quarterback, 370 00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 6: if he has to go with one, it's about open 371 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 6: communication and the quarterback's best friend. What's your mindset of 372 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:03,840 Speaker 6: when you work with someone who's not. 373 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 5: Someone like Lamar. I would definitely agree with Mark. 374 00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 4: You know, we don't get a lot of reps saying 375 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:12,080 Speaker 4: with Coop, so being able to you know, uh, be 376 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 4: communitive and on what we wanted, what he wants to 377 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 4: get the job done. And you know, Cooper's done a 378 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,680 Speaker 4: amazing job to see being here. So, uh, we got 379 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:22,040 Speaker 4: all the trust that he you know what I'm saying, 380 00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:22,720 Speaker 4: get job done. 381 00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:27,080 Speaker 3: Okay, you know obviously it's kind of open and with Lamar, Uh, how. 382 00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:28,960 Speaker 4: Big of the challenge would be for the offense if 383 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,000 Speaker 4: Lamart is unable to play on Sunday. 384 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 5: I mean it's a challenge every day, you know what 385 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 5: I'm saying.

With Lamar, we lose. 387 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,240 Speaker 5: With Lamar, we get waiting to lose with anybody. 388 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 4: So at the end of the day, it doesn't change 389 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,240 Speaker 4: the fact that from top down, we gotta change the 390 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,880 Speaker 4: way we do things and uh, how we approach things. 391 00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:49,200 Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying, they get their result that 392 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:49,560 Speaker 5: we want. 393 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 9: You look back at the Kansas City Games, how what 394 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:53,680 Speaker 9: what did it work for you guys? 395 00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 5: A move that's a good nothing work for us? 396 00:15:56,280 --> 00:16:00,760 Speaker 4: Uh to be on it from from our perspective, Uh, 397 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:02,000 Speaker 4: we just gotta do a better job. 398 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,200 Speaker 5: We had a good first drive, but after that. 399 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,360 Speaker 4: We we couldn't really you know what I'm saying, get 400 00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:08,280 Speaker 4: a drive sustained then you know, be able to put 401 00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:11,480 Speaker 4: points on the board. So we just can't play like 402 00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 4: that if we wanna win the super Bowl. 403 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:14,720 Speaker 9: This is kind of what's what's the mindset now going 404 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,200 Speaker 9: into this week knowing kind of nothing work now this 405 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 9: game being as important. 406 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 5: As it is against an AMC opponent. 407 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 4: I mean obviously everybody's in the mood uh right now. 408 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:26,640 Speaker 4: So I mean the mindset is find a way to 409 00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:29,240 Speaker 4: get this win. You know what I'm saying, no matter nobody, 410 00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:30,720 Speaker 4: how to get it done.
