1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:02,320
Speaker 1: Hey guys, I care.

2
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:08,240
Speaker 2: For the usual Friday update on players.

3
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:13,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, Landry will be out MAPU, Carlton Davis and Matt

4
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 1: Collins will be cautionable.

5
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:19,759
Speaker 2: Is there any chance Landry winds up? And I are.

6
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:26,600
Speaker 1: I mean, there's chances that anything could happen. Yeah, but

7
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 1: I don't know, like yeah, I mean, I mean there's

8
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:32,240
Speaker 1: a lot of different things that we can do. But uh,

9
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 1: you know, I wouldn't read too much into it. He's

10
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 1: not gonna play Sunday.

11
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 3: How about Mac.

12
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 4: The first week?

13
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:42,200
Speaker 3: Good?

14
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 1: You know what I mean, They've been able to get

15
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 1: back in there, and you know, Carlton's working his way

16
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 1: through protocol and then you know Max returned to play,

17
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:53,199
Speaker 1: you know, just like Josh Farmer and.

18
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 2: You know Churelle Jennings, like, I'm sure you know, it's

19
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 2: a lot of people into talking about this game. How

20
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,039
Speaker 2: do you get the players to drown up the noise

21
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 2: to advise them to stay off their phones?

22
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:07,119
Speaker 4: There any special.

23
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:13,960
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, try that. Yeah, they stay off their phones. Yeah,

24
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:16,399
Speaker 1: I'll try that, see if that works. No, we just

25
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 1: try to stay as consistent as possible. I think from

26
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 1: the time that we started this thing up until now,

27
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 1: we try to stay as consistent as possible, continue to

28
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 1: coach the actions, not the results. Focus on, you know,

29
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: things that we need to do to win and the

30
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: environment and making sure that you know, our operation is

31
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: good and you know the defense is as prepared as

32
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 1: possible for anything that could happen, and that the special

33
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 1: teams and you know their role in the game, and

34
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 1: you know that's that's about all you can do. But

35
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: I'll try to stay off your phone things. See if

36
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 1: that works.

37
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 5: That players have said that they kind of relish in

38
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 5: the feeling of going into hostile to artory and a

39
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 5: loud crowd that they feel like is maybe a little

40
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 5: bit against them. They just have each other in their corner.

41
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,239
Speaker 5: Do you share that feeling? Do you like going into

42
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:10,679
Speaker 5: a hostile territory on the road?

43
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 1: I don't dislike it. I mean I think that these

44
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 1: you know, again, everybody does such a great job with

45
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: the environment, the atmosphere. You know that you kind of

46
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 1: take it all in and that's part of enjoying everything

47
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: that this is about. As you continue to win and

48
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 1: move on that those are things that you can enjoy.

49
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: And you know, I know they have a lot of

50
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:35,799
Speaker 1: support from our fans and from their family and that

51
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 1: people that are you know, traveling to the game. How

52
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: is Darryl Taylor gotten acclimated so far? Uh yeah, we

53
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: released Daryl Taylor. We'll put that out here at four o'clock.

54
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: So not very well on land read. Just how much

55
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: does you know?

56
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 3: And you talk about the players and how happy you

57
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 3: are for them to experience this with your background with

58
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 3: Harold and knowing how much he puts into how much

59
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 3: does your.

60
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:06,399
Speaker 1: No, I know that's it's probably not the right time

61
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 1: to talk about it, Mike. I appreciate you bringing that up.

62
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 1: Harold does mean a lot to me going back a

63
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: lot of years. And uh yeah, again, I always tell

64
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:19,399
Speaker 1: I am disappointed for people that I care about when

65
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 1: they are frustrated or they don't feel great. So I think,

66
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: you know, we can have another conversation about it, but

67
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: uh yeah, I would always feel for any of our

68
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 1: players that put a lot into it and aren't able

69
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 1: to perform and do what they want to do and

70
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 1: try to help the team.

71
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 3: Mike.

72
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 4: From a self scouting lens, you know, do you have

73
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 4: to be mindful of the disguise as you pair with

74
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 4: certain coverags so those don't get repetitive.

75
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 1: And I think what you have to be careful of

76
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: is that you can disguise and end up being where

77
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: you need to be for your job. I think that's

78
00:03:54,960 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: most important, you know. I think sometimes you know, you

79
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: can go overboard and you know, try to try to

80
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: disguise and and then not be able to to be

81
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 1: where you're supposed to be to do your job. So

82
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: I think that's the most important thing.

83
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 5: Drake is a finalist for m VP this year.

84
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: How much is that attestament to him being set up

85
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 1: for success in this offense but also to his own

86
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: unique ability? Yeah, this's I mean again, these these individual

87
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: awards are you know, because the players went out and performed,

88
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 1: and they prepared and they had help in their preparation.

89
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 1: But ultimately, you know, when they score touchdowns and they

90
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 1: run for touchdowns and you know, I mean that's that

91
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: the players going out there and making plays, and the

92
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: coaches have a small part in that and then they

93
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 1: do a great job. But again, our success is weighed

94
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 1: on the ability of the players to comprehend what's going on,

95
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: understand it very quickly, process and and then make a

96
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: play and make the correct one. Totality, the UH them

97
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,479
Speaker 1: pending storm here, you have been any idea on whether

98
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 1: you're couldn't be able to get back and you planning

99
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 1: to stay another day. I think we have multiple plans

100
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 1: of what could go on based on the weather, something

101
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 1: that they're familiar with here. I mean there's things I

102
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: can control. Players staying off their phone in the weather

103
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: are two things that I can't control. That totality the

104
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: practice week. How did you feel good? Good? I'm good,

105
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 1: good energy, good juice today, great meetings, will continues to

106
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:32,720
Speaker 1: improve in the weekend update and that that's been good

107
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 1: to see.

108
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:33,839
Speaker 4: Mike.

109
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 1: You've been in this game as a player and as

110
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,839
Speaker 1: a coach. Is there a way to fight the anxious

111
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 1: feelings of the nervous feelings that a player is going

112
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: to have because of a game with this kind of.

113
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:43,840
Speaker 3: Back that you.

114
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 1: Try to keep things as normal as possible and you know,

115
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: continue to prepare and focus on the little things as

116
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 1: opposed to you know, anything else, focus on just small

117
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 1: details of your job and how you can help contribute

118
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: to our success. How do you feel Anthony Jennings has

119
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,839
Speaker 1: done in these last few games really well, really well.

120
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 1: He's going to be a game captain and that's deservedly so,

121
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 1: so I appreciate you asking that. So and he has

122
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 1: again a professionalism that he's shown throughout this entire season.

123
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:25,160
Speaker 1: Appreciate it. I appreciate him taking advantage of his opportunities,

124
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: playing physical, playing on special teams, finding a role. And

125
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 1: so again that was, you know, easy pick for me

126
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 1: this week. So I appreciate your question in terms of substitutions,

127
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,720
Speaker 1: do you have a plan going in or.

128
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 3: Is that going be something you're going to have to

129
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 3: kind of have a feel for, giving the altitude.

130
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 5: And so on.

131
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,840
Speaker 1: Well, we play a lot of people, you know, I mean,

132
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 1: I think if you look and we play, you know

133
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 1: a lot of people receivers, you know, fifty sixty you know,

134
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 1: fifty five percent, uh, the edge guys and d line

135
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, we all we play a bunch

136
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: of people. So we'll have to see where we are

137
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 1: from a secondary standpoint. But everybody's prepared as a starter,

138
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 1: and I would say, ready to go to get reps

139
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 1: during the week, and we'll have to monitor that no

140
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 1: different than an injury or anything else.

141
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 3: Sjeramy Springer said that every day is fourth and one

142
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 3: with you, I'm sure you did.

143
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 1: We pick it up or no, I hope.

144
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 3: So look he said, every day is for the one

145
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 3: with you and just being prepared. I'm sure you kept

146
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 3: up the pop quizzes that you had in Tennessee, but

147
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 3: how does you know players or coaches being prepared with

148
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 3: those pop quizzes translates to the field.

149
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 1: They're not pop I mean by this time, they know

150
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 1: that we're going to have mental mental p mental preparation

151
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: on Thursdays, you know, I just you know, try to

152
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 1: make sure everybody's ready to go and that uh they're

153
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: doing their part to help the team and be prepared like.

154
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 2: You've experienced in Denver as a player, have you shared

155
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 2: any of those experiences with this group as to what

156
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 2: they may be.

157
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 5: Able to expect.

158
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: So we took a safety one time and then we

159
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:10,679
Speaker 1: kicked off and we stopped them and then scored a touchdown.

160
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 1: So never know when those situations are going to come up.

161
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 1: With the great effort play now we try to use

162
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 1: as of now and again that's a phenomenal play. Try

163
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 1: to try to glorify our guys's efforts right now, and uh,

164
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:32,319
Speaker 1: not that to discredit what Ben did that night, but

165
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 1: try to show our guys you know, doing the things

166
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 1: that we've asked them to do. So that's where we've

167
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 1: kind of tried it too lately. Yeah, is it harder

168
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:44,959
Speaker 1: to manage the roster this time of the year with

169
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 1: some of you guys coming back and because you might

170
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 1: want to work with in the future. I mean, I

171
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: think that there's you know, things that you have to

172
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 1: have conversations about and being able to get the right

173
00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 1: group of guys, and then you start to get into

174
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,719
Speaker 1: the return to play guys and who do you want

175
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 1: to help and or who do you want to try

176
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 1: to use and get back, and then who can you

177
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 1: elevate different things like that. So, yeah, that's all part

178
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 1: of it as you get later on in the season

179
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:13,079
Speaker 1: that the return to play guys can could increase.

180
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:17,080
Speaker 2: Trust, team identity, players having fun out there is the

181
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 2: touchdown celebration part of that. We saw you do it

182
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 2: as a player. We even see you on the sidelines

183
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 2: kind of having fun with the guys any favorites.

184
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 1: Anytime we score, I'm excited as long as it doesn't

185
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 1: hurt the team in a negative way and give us

186
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:37,679
Speaker 1: a penalty. So you know, we've talked about you know,

187
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 1: scoring touchdowns in this league and being excited we can

188
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 1: go all the way back to training camp and have

189
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:47,199
Speaker 1: that conversation. So I just believe that we're going to

190
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 1: score them and find a way to score them and

191
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 1: then let the guys have fun.

192
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 3: I don't.

193
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 4: Like maybe this is a question better for afficking, But

194
00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 4: what would it mean to you to lead this group

195
00:09:59,080 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 4: of guys.

196
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 1: To Super Bowl? You know, I probably haven't thought about

197
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:08,680
Speaker 1: it a whole lot, just being in the preparation of

198
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 1: staying in the present and what we need to do

199
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,719
Speaker 1: today and you know what time when we get a

200
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 1: haircut and all that other stuff to stay on schedule.

201
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 1: And you know, I just enjoy coaching these guys, you know,

202
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 1: I mean it's uh, you know, you probably take it

203
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:31,359
Speaker 1: for granted, you know, coaching and then getting another opportunity.

204
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 1: And I've told him, Matt and so to do it

205
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 1: with guys that are fun to be around. And you know,

206
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,079
Speaker 1: I mean again, you don't nobody takes themselves too seriously.

207
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 1: And they they give it to me, I give it

208
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 1: back to them, and you know, we try to get

209
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 1: ready to go play a game.

210
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,960
Speaker 3: The bonding closeness of a team so important to build

211
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 3: a championship style roster.

212
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 1: It feels like that's a pretty consistent people this time. Well,

213
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: if you go through a lot, you know, you go

214
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 1: through a lot and games are tight, they're close. There's

215
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 1: good times, there's bad times. There's things that happen through

216
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 1: the course of the year that you can't account for

217
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 1: off the field. On the field, there's injuries. You know,

218
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 1: it's just every every week is its own little saga,

219
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 1: and so you know, the closer that you can become,

220
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 1: it kind of helps guys get through, helps coaches get through.

221
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 1: You know, just the rigors of this league as opposed

222
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 1: to just being a bunch of independent contractors, have a

223
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 1: good product.
