1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,240
Speaker 1: Good to see you, man. How's it going good? Are

2
00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:06,480
Speaker 1: you doing well? Um? I guess what does it mean

3
00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:11,399
Speaker 1: for you guys? Uh? Yeah, what did that mean last

4
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 1: year for you? Week seventeen? H what does that mean

5
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 1: for you guys just heading into the offseason? And how

6
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:18,800
Speaker 1: how relevant do you find that game as you prepare

7
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:21,160
Speaker 1: for this one this time? I've been asked that a lot,

8
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 1: Ben and honestly, there's not much relevance. New England's different,

9
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:32,319
Speaker 1: We're different. It's a new year. Um, it's a different year. UM,

10
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 1: so it'll be a different environment with no uh, we're

11
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:40,560
Speaker 1: no fans, so everything is just so so different that um.

12
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:43,159
Speaker 1: We as as an organization, as a team, we're not

13
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 1: really you know, looking at last year's game and and

14
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:48,319
Speaker 1: taking much from it. We're just kind of focused on, uh,

15
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 1: you know, having a good practice today, trying to you know,

16
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,199
Speaker 1: string a few practice good practices together this week and

17
00:00:53,560 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 1: play a competitive game against a very good team. Mike Reese, Hey, Brian,

18
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: how are you with Michael? You good? How's Jennifer? She's great? Good?

19
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 1: Holding down? Hold down the flot good? Awesome? Had a

20
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: two part question. Just to keep it moving, I'll just

21
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 1: throw it out there right now, Patriots preparing for a

22
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: quarterback who's got some mobility skills, probably not something that's

23
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 1: been that common over the last two decades. How does

24
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:30,319
Speaker 1: that look different for you leading into this game and

25
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 1: just thinking big picture? Brian twenty fourteen. You became position

26
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 1: coach a couple of years prior. How big was that

27
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 1: to win that first Super Bowl? And then what came

28
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 1: after that to put you in the position you're in now.

29
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 1: So the first question on a mobile quarterback, you know

30
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: in New England obviously that hasn't been the case, you know,

31
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: and maybe a game here or there, but uh, you know,

32
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: you just we just kind of refer to mobile quarterback rules. Um,

33
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 1: you know, you want to keep him in a pocket.

34
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: You know, obviously Cam is very explosive, he's very uh accomplished,

35
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 1: an established player in the league. Um, and he's made

36
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 1: a lot of plays with his legs, with his arm,

37
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: and uh, you know you want to keep him in

38
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,079
Speaker 1: the pocket. You know, you want to try to limit

39
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 1: those plays. At the same time, you know he's going

40
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,239
Speaker 1: to create him one way or another. That's kind of

41
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: been his m or the course of his career. So

42
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: this will be a great challenge. It's something we talked about. Um,

43
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 1: you know, across the board will be a total team effort, defensively, UM,

44
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:46,239
Speaker 1: covering the receivers, rushing the quarter you know, rushing uh

45
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 1: the right way, you know, without you know, giving up

46
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 1: step up lanes and lanes for him to take off.

47
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 1: And yeah, it'll be it'll be a challenge. So UM

48
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 1: and again, like like you like I said, or that

49
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 1: we just kind of referred to our you know, mobile

50
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:06,519
Speaker 1: quarterback rules as far as your second question about twenty fourteen,

51
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: and uh, you know kind of you know that that

52
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,640
Speaker 1: those were all you know, great memories, great times. I

53
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 1: learned a lot in my time in New England. Um,

54
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,839
Speaker 1: but really my focus is on what's going on down

55
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: here in Miami. Um. I think we've got, you know,

56
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 1: guys who are tough, who are competitive, who would love

57
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 1: to play or team first, and um, we know that

58
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: this is going to be a very competitive game against

59
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: a really a well coached team, against some very good players,

60
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: you know, players that I know, uh mccordy Slater, Julian Edelman.

61
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I know a lot of people are talking

62
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: about Cam, but there's a lot of good players on

63
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: that team. David Andrews, Joe Thuney. I mean this is uh.

64
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 1: I mean, they've got some established players with some experience,

65
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: and um, you know this isn't you know, this isn't

66
00:03:58,400 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: going to be an easy game, you know on a

67
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: up up in Fox World's hard to win there. So

68
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: that's kind of where where our focus is. Mark, Hey,

69
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 1: Bryan are you good? How are you thanks? I think

70
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 1: just every week one, there's a lot of unknowns. You know,

71
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 1: even when teams have preseason games, teams can always show

72
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: what they have in August, um. This year, how do

73
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: you go about dealing with just the unknowns this year?

74
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 1: It's it's not only Kim Newton obviously, there's there's rookies,

75
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: and there are new players and the Patriots you just

76
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: you haven't seen them playing, you know, in this system.

77
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: How do you go about preparing for a game this

78
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: weekend when you're just there's just so many I guess

79
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: you know the word is unknowns up in the air. Yeah,

80
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean our message has been you know,

81
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:46,479
Speaker 1: technique fundamentals, you know, reading your keys, following your rules.

82
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 1: I mean a lot of a lot of instances. This

83
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 1: is you know, it's like, uh, you know college or

84
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 1: high school. You don't you don't see those other teams. Um,

85
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 1: but you just have to lean on the things that

86
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 1: you've been working on, you know, throughout training camp. So

87
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,840
Speaker 1: um again, what are your what are your rules and

88
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,919
Speaker 1: whatever the particular situation is, what are your keys and

89
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: whatever the particular at that your position. Um, you know

90
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 1: you just have to uh, you know, lean on that

91
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 1: and and believe in those uh and try not to

92
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: play outside of that and what you've been doing through

93
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:24,119
Speaker 1: our training camp. So um, Yes, there's a lot unknown. Um.

94
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: I think you know, just from a personnel standpoint, based

95
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: on college and based on previous years, you kind of

96
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: know the skill set or you try to forecasts what

97
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,720
Speaker 1: they're gonna do with you know, specific guys, but you

98
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: you really you really don't know. So um you end

99
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 1: up just following your rules like Ryan Ope your well, UM,

100
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 1: I just want to kind of follow on that. When

101
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 1: when with Cam and the Patriots not having basically a

102
00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:00,280
Speaker 1: mobile quarterback for the better part of twenty years, when

103
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: you're doing your research, where do you go? Do you

104
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:06,280
Speaker 1: go to Carolina? Do you go to Josh with Tebow

105
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: in Denver? How does how does that work? I mean

106
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: this in a lot of ways. You can you can

107
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,479
Speaker 1: drive yourself crazy, going back to Tebow, going back to

108
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 1: you know Carolina, going back to yeah, we we we've

109
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 1: we've watched a lot of film on them. Um, but

110
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, it's it comes back

111
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: to when you haven't seen a team play, um, a

112
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 1: game or a preseason or you know what. You would

113
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: continually talk about the you know, the quarterback, but you know,

114
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: what are we gonna see from an old line standpoint?

115
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 1: What are we gonna see at the receiver position, What

116
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 1: are we gonna see in the kicking game? What are

117
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 1: we gonna see defensively? There's a lot of unknowns. So UM,

118
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: you know we've done our work on really you know,

119
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:55,280
Speaker 1: every aspect, but UM, at the end of the day,

120
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,720
Speaker 1: like you know, like I said to Mark, we gotta

121
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: follow our rules, we gotta read our keys, we gotta

122
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,359
Speaker 1: rely on our unbelief in our fundamentals and technique and

123
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: you know, our conditioning and try to play a smart

124
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 1: disciplined football game. UM gains a good team UM that

125
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: we know is going to be smart disciplined. So that's

126
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 1: that's kind of where I'm at there. Doug Brian, how's

127
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 1: it going right? How are the kids enjoying Miami? They

128
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 1: love it? Um, Kyle van Noy, Ted Carres and you

129
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 1: Rob all got named captains? What's it just sit about

130
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 1: those guys to garner respect from their teammates so early

131
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 1: and so soon? Uh, missays a lot about you know

132
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 1: those three. I mean I think you guys know those

133
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: get those those three. But you know, we also have

134
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 1: five other guys who were named captain, and um, we

135
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 1: had you know a handful of other guys who were

136
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: also had some votes for captain. So UM, you know,

137
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 1: I don't want to spend, you know, put too much

138
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 1: on those three guys. They were three of let's call

139
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 1: it ten or eleven guys who uh who got votes. Uh.

140
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 1: You know, they've come in, they've worked hard, they've competed,

141
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 1: they've uh, you know, obviously there's been some familiarity with

142
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 1: with the system defensively, but Ted came in and learned

143
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: a new system offensively, you know, pretty quickly. And UM,

144
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 1: but you know, like I've been asked this a couple

145
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 1: of times from from our our guys here in South Florida. UM,

146
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 1: you know you want leadership from from really all everyone

147
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 1: on the team. UM, players, coaches, uh, equipment, you know, trainers, strength, conditioning, media.

148
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 1: I mean that's what really what you want? Um and UM,

149
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 1: I think you know we're building towards that. I mean,

150
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 1: it's it's we're not all we're not there yet, but um,

151
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 1: you know those guys bring a lot of that, you know,

152
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:56,679
Speaker 1: whether it's Kyle, whether it's Bobby McCain, where's you know, gotcha,

153
00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 1: whether it's you know, uh, Drone Baker. So I think

154
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 1: we've got some guys who were building towards that, and

155
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:06,439
Speaker 1: then uh, you know, I think the guys we brought

156
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 1: in just add to it. Are we got time for

157
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 1: two more? We'll go to tarra Hi. Brian, thank you.

158
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. It hasn't it hasn't been easy to

159
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 1: be a coach in the AFC East, you know, these

160
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 1: last twenty years, another team other than the Patriots, they've

161
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 1: been so dominant. Do you I don't know, ask you

162
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 1: speak for everybody, but do you feel there's more of

163
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,319
Speaker 1: an opportunity with all the changes that have gone on

164
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 1: in New England? Does it does it open a door?

165
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: Does it change anything? Do you feel you know a

166
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 1: sense of opportunity, and I would bring up you know,

167
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: last year's when at the end of the year, just

168
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:45,959
Speaker 1: as an indication that maybe there's a there's a door

169
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 1: or an opportunity opening there, you know, to go back

170
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 1: twenty years. I mean, I don't. It's just it's hard

171
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 1: for me to to to think about the past, you know,

172
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 1: specifically when we have so much you know, in front

173
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 1: of us, including today's practice and tomorrow's practice and Friday's practice. Um, look,

174
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 1: we're just trying to go out and compete and get

175
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 1: better and improve and let the chips fall where they fall.

176
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 1: And to think about you know, weeks and months you know,

177
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,560
Speaker 1: down the road, I think it's I don't think that's

178
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 1: that helps anyone. I think it just takes the energy

179
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:31,079
Speaker 1: away what we're trying to do today. So whether we're

180
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 1: talking about last year or whether we're talking about, um,

181
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 1: you know, what's up for grabs or not up for grabs.

182
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 1: I mean, we haven't done much, you know, we haven't

183
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 1: played a preseason game, so I mean I don't I

184
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 1: don't really, we don't really even know what we have here.

185
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 1: So um, I'm just trying to get better today. I'm

186
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 1: just trying to improve. I'm trying to improve. We are

187
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:57,559
Speaker 1: trying to improve, and and just focus on this week

188
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 1: and putting a competitive, tough game against a competitive and

189
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 1: tough team and Weld coached team. And yeah, that's that's

190
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 1: That's where I'm at. All right, final question for Ben Austin.

191
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: Thanks a lot, matt Um Brian, real quick, just curious

192
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 1: about your quarterbacks, h what is the franchise of seemingly

193
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 1: love about Ryan Fitzpatrick and everything he's brought to your franchise.

194
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 1: And then what is to us progress been? Like, what

195
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:29,680
Speaker 1: have you seen from to us so far? Well, you know,

196
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: I'll start with two. Uh, I think we're I forget

197
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 1: what I think we're at practice fifteen or sixteen year, um,

198
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 1: which would be practice three or four of training camp

199
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 1: if we had OTA's and mini camps. So he missed

200
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 1: a lot of uh not missed, but you know because

201
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 1: of you know, the circumstances, he didn't he didn't get

202
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 1: his money into many reps. A is uh, you know

203
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in other years, um, and in a lot of

204
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 1: instances you know to and you know, listen, tire rookie class, Um,

205
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 1: they've got less practice, less reps. Let's less live action

206
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,680
Speaker 1: than any rookie class in league history from from what

207
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 1: I understand. UM, so you know that's that's him. But

208
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,839
Speaker 1: but look, all our guys have worked extremely hard. I

209
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 1: think they've improved, um, you know a lot over the

210
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:27,080
Speaker 1: course of training camp and and you know, I think

211
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 1: there's the types of guys who were looking for. Um,

212
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 1: they're tough, they're smart, they work hard. It's important to

213
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 1: him so and to tours right right there, you know,

214
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 1: at the at the you know, close to the top

215
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 1: you know, of our group. So I've been very pleased

216
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 1: with him, Um as far as fits, you know, fits

217
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:48,079
Speaker 1: just because he's embodies everything that you know we're looking

218
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 1: for in the Dolphin, you know. And he loves to play. Um,

219
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 1: he's competitive. Um. You know you can feel his energy

220
00:12:55,040 --> 00:13:00,319
Speaker 1: on the field and practice in games. UM. And he's

221
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 1: he's got leadership. Um, guys gravitate to him and follow

222
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:08,959
Speaker 1: follow him. So UM, I think you know that's that's

223
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 1: kind of why he's he's had success, um, you know,

224
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 1: throughout his entire career. So uh, you know, we're happy

225
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 1: with Fits, We're happy with two h and we're happy

226
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,199
Speaker 1: with you know, the rookie class. But again they've they

227
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 1: they've got a long way to go. Um And just

228
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 1: like really every rookie in this league, this is, this is,

229
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 1: this is unprecedented. UM. But you know, I don't I don't.

230
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 1: I don't hear our guys making excuses, and I'm gonna

231
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 1: hear anybody around the league making excuses um or saying

232
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 1: this is why this will it won't happen. So we'll

233
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: just let them, you know, uh, let the chips forward

234
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 1: where they fall and just try to go out and

235
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 1: play a competitively, tough, physical game on U on Sunday,
