Speaker 1: O got the interest from the game. John Jennings had
Speaker 1: his ankle. Um will be day to day. Um, same
Speaker 1: with Sampson ankle day to day. And that was that.
Speaker 1: I don't know what any any challenged if you approached
Speaker 1: this week not knowing who you play until tonight. UM,
Speaker 1: I mean not really. I mean, we we got the
Speaker 1: extra day. You know, last week was a short week
Speaker 1: with the six days, and I was giving the guys
Speaker 1: off yesterday not knowing whether we played Minnesota or the
Speaker 1: winner of this game. And since Minnesota lost, now we
Speaker 1: know we've got a normal seven days. So we're just
Speaker 1: spending this Monday catching up with the film as coaches. UM.
Speaker 1: Coaches are gonna catch up with an individually with their players,
Speaker 1: and tomorrow will be a Tuesday, and we'll just get
Speaker 1: going on Wednesday and tonight. But what's that mass, I
Speaker 1: think that if you watch the game tonight that the
Speaker 1: TV copy from a you know, what kind of perspective
Speaker 1: does that give you? Or do you just wait and
Speaker 1: tell that the coaches don't come in. Um? Now, well,
Speaker 1: well we'll get ahead today. So I mean, we'll be
Speaker 1: watching a lot of film about Dallas, UM and Tampa
Speaker 1: and by the time it gets to them, we probably
Speaker 1: have watched enough on both teams to where now we're
Speaker 1: just waiting to the end of that game. So I'll
Speaker 1: probably just sit back and relax tonight when that starts,
Speaker 1: and UM, watch just a TV copy like a normal person,
Speaker 1: and after it, probably get to work a little bit
Speaker 1: before we start on Tuesday. I was obviously the way
Speaker 1: Brock played in the regular steason. It was a really
Speaker 1: high bar. Um, so very very mad in mind. You know,
Speaker 1: his probably his first half against the seat Arts may
Speaker 1: have been his you know, if you want to say
Speaker 1: what worst, um, And I know there's ever any one
Speaker 1: thing that you could point to, but was there a
Speaker 1: team or some things that we're going on with some
Speaker 1: of his misses? Um in the fort two quarters, Um,
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, there's a couple of open guys that
Speaker 1: he just missed, And so I know when that happens
Speaker 1: and sticks out, UM as not playing well? Um, because
Speaker 1: there are there are places that he should have made,
Speaker 1: but all the other plays he did play well. So
Speaker 1: when you just have a couple of misses, UM, you
Speaker 1: really don't want to panic. I mean, Brox an accurate thrower.
Speaker 1: He's been doing that all year. And playing well. He
Speaker 1: just he missed a few and I don't think there's
Speaker 1: really really much of an explanation for it. Just we
Speaker 1: have to settle down a little bit and give him
Speaker 1: a few more opportunities, and he got those in the
Speaker 1: second half, and UM, it was pretty lethal with him. Well.
Speaker 1: That the meat though has uh, I think four meetings
Speaker 1: with teams this week. I know you've been through a
Speaker 1: similar process in the past, but how much is going
Speaker 1: to be on his plate? And how do you kind
Speaker 1: of advise your staff members to a lot their time
Speaker 1: in such a busy week with with job opportunities as well. UM.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think my advice is you just gotta
Speaker 1: you gotta set that aside the specific times that you
Speaker 1: are going to deal with it. It was very easy
Speaker 1: for me because, UM at that time when we had
Speaker 1: to seed, we had a bye week, so I was
Speaker 1: able to set aside you know, we got three days
Speaker 1: off just in the building, and I was able to
Speaker 1: set aside two days only, UM for those interviews. So
Speaker 1: I knocked them all out then and everything after that
Speaker 1: was there wasn't anything after that. UM, I completely shut
Speaker 1: it off and went right back to the playoffs and
Speaker 1: the difference for Demiko, that'll be similar to what mcdane
Speaker 1: will have to go through last year. We don't have
Speaker 1: that bye week, but I think he has a couple
Speaker 1: of times set aside for Thursday and Friday, UM, which
Speaker 1: he'll do two interviews I believe those two days, which
Speaker 1: seems that there was UM with Denver in Houston, and
Speaker 1: then I think he'll plan on the other ones after UM.
Speaker 1: So Friday afternoons we get some time off, so that
Speaker 1: shouldnt cut in anything. And usually on Thursdays, UM, we
Speaker 1: we finished a little bit earlier than we do on
Speaker 1: the other nights in the week, so there's a chance
Speaker 1: to do that Thursday night. So when you just set
Speaker 1: the time aside for that, and so a lot for
Speaker 1: Demiko kind of prepare or for. But I think he
Speaker 1: is prepared for it. And when you're talking with those
Speaker 1: you go right back to the most important thing at hand,
Speaker 1: and and that's a fun way to win the Sunday
Speaker 1: to your knowledge that it's all five teams that have
Speaker 1: those names right now this week, I think I think
Speaker 1: four have I think forward put in requests. UM. I
Speaker 1: think he's got two interviews set up and I'm sure
Speaker 1: he'll get those other two set up at some other
Speaker 1: time in the near future. Come brock making after the
Speaker 1: game that at half time you said pulled him aside
Speaker 1: or how would happened half time? Saying that the opportunities
Speaker 1: are there, just have to hit them. Was that the
Speaker 1: most pointed you've been maybe with him, whether it's during
Speaker 1: a game or half time. Um, I think I'm pretty
Speaker 1: consistent with them. I think brock when you go at
Speaker 1: Brock has an idea. When Brocky is a tape, he's
Speaker 1: he's always so honest with himself, and I think we
Speaker 1: see see it very similar. And I think he trusts
Speaker 1: that we see stuff when he isn't seeing it. Um.
Speaker 1: And I think he also knew that. And so you know,
Speaker 1: there's I think when you go in in the first half,
Speaker 1: in your average and eight and a half yards of
Speaker 1: play and you've scored on all your three possessions, you
Speaker 1: just came up short in the red zone onto I
Speaker 1: don't think there is much of a panic. I think
Speaker 1: everyone's like, holy cow, we're getting after these guys. We
Speaker 1: just we gotta start scoring touchdowns because we've missed two opportunities.
Speaker 1: We've only had the ball three times, Um, let's figure
Speaker 1: out how to finish these, and so I don't think
Speaker 1: there was much. It wasn't that big of a deal
Speaker 1: at the half time. It was that first half almost
Speaker 1: went as good as it could. But if if we
Speaker 1: don't finish some of these big plays and we just
Speaker 1: keep getting field goals, then when you're gonna to be
Speaker 1: dependent on them not scoring the rest of the game
Speaker 1: to try to win. And we don't want to have
Speaker 1: to be dependent on that. So I think coming out
Speaker 1: in the first drive of the third quarter throwing things
Speaker 1: down a little bit and just going on a good
Speaker 1: drive and then it was seven, I think that's a
Speaker 1: huge deal for us, and that it kind of took
Speaker 1: off from there. Like Kyle, how did it for our
Speaker 1: very afward respond after that first half? And how's that
Speaker 1: going to fuel in this week? I think it'll feel
Speaker 1: him a lot, you know. I mean, he played as
Speaker 1: good as he could versus d K in that first game,
Speaker 1: and I mean it's hard to do that again. I mean,
Speaker 1: DK is good of a receiver as there is in
Speaker 1: this league. He is a problem to stop. And um,
Speaker 1: I like that movie. He didn't stop, he didn't shy
Speaker 1: away from it once he got beat on that deep
Speaker 1: all you know, he was playing the back shoulder pretty well,
Speaker 1: and DK did a hell of the job sing down
Speaker 1: and looking back, and he got him when he thought
Speaker 1: it was gonna be a back shoulder and he took
Speaker 1: his eyes off at to stop that, and then DK
Speaker 1: slipped down the sidelines on the go route. But I'm
Speaker 1: that's gonna happen with a good player like that. You
Speaker 1: hope it doesn't happen too often. And Mooney has done
Speaker 1: a hell of a job of that all year, and
Speaker 1: I know he'll come back and continue to do that.
Speaker 1: This week. You've been using hard is go ahead, God,
Speaker 1: you've been using to want any more deep, But the
Speaker 1: past a couple of weeks that's more of a Timsey
Speaker 1: breaker And been as far as Kim been a receiver downstair,
Speaker 1: like what gives you compidents that he can make those
Speaker 1: plays like what makes him make good deep deep receiver.
Speaker 1: He got those deep opportunities because of what he does
Speaker 1: in the run game. Um, the way John Juwan goes
Speaker 1: after people block him, um is the reason people react
Speaker 1: to to try to not get hit by him and
Speaker 1: go up and stop runs. And he saw what he
Speaker 1: did to them in the last game on those looks, Um,
Speaker 1: that's why he got the pass plays off of it.
Speaker 1: He's um, he was really open because he blocked so well,
Speaker 1: and that's what he did, got good a job of thought.
Speaker 1: That ball wouldn't be as quite far down the field
Speaker 1: and you know where it got it close to Dick's um,
Speaker 1: but that's where Brock put it and it ended up
Speaker 1: being a perfect spot because Juan when it got it,
Speaker 1: and I mean Juan will do anything you ask him
Speaker 1: to do, and he's a really good player. Kyle, knowing
Speaker 1: how hard Brock is on himself. When you when you
Speaker 1: go back and watch and see the emotion that he
Speaker 1: had after that touchdown to Eliza and some of the
Speaker 1: high stepping, is it fun to just watch him also
Speaker 1: have fun out there? Yes, it's Brock tied. Brock knows
Speaker 1: the situation that he's in. He knows how big of
Speaker 1: deal it is, but also isn't going to make him
Speaker 1: more than that. Brock loves playing football and he looks
Speaker 1: that way every time he's out on the field, whether
Speaker 1: it's us Watchington College or him in practice. He's he's
Speaker 1: got a competitiveness to him that you can see it
Speaker 1: in his body language because he is extremely competitive and
Speaker 1: UM also has a true love for the game, and
Speaker 1: that comes out when you're successful out there. And UM,
Speaker 1: some guys show it a little bit more than others,
Speaker 1: but I think our guys feed off of it too
Speaker 1: with the product fighting. When when the squid kick are
Speaker 1: you involved in? What do you think of the one
Speaker 1: on Saturday? UM, Yes, I am involved that. I didn't
Speaker 1: like it. Um. The processes when you swoop kick it
Speaker 1: is to run out more time on the clock because
Speaker 1: when you get a touch back and stuff, no time
Speaker 1: gets taken off. But there's always a risk that they're
Speaker 1: going to stop it better than you anticipate. And then
Speaker 1: they did that, so it ended up being a real
Speaker 1: bad decision. I thought, UM much rather kicked it off
Speaker 1: and just got a touch back and let him play
Speaker 1: with thirteen seconds a little farther actcause when we did that,
Speaker 1: I think they end up getting at the thirty five
Speaker 1: and they just need one mistake by us or one
Speaker 1: big play by them, and they're in field goal range,
Speaker 1: and we made the mistake by getting that personal foul. Now,
Speaker 1: Brock's games to just be completely level headed and mellow
Speaker 1: about everything. Does he ever admit that he is nervous
Speaker 1: or has has jitters at all. Yeah, I think so.
Speaker 1: I think when people admit that, it's sometimes we come
Speaker 1: out with it the wrong way. I mean, having nerves
Speaker 1: and jitters isn't about being nervous or not confident or scared.
Speaker 1: It's man, we are amped up for this stuff, just
Speaker 1: like the fans are, just like everybody is. I mean,
Speaker 1: it is a big deal. It is a violent game,
Speaker 1: and you go out there and you know where, we're
Speaker 1: all wrapped up and on one and sometimes, um, when
Speaker 1: it's like that, it's you might, um miss a throw,
Speaker 1: you might make a bad play call, some guys jump
Speaker 1: off sides. I mean all that stuff happens, so that
Speaker 1: that's just part of the game and learning how to
Speaker 1: play stuff at a high level with such intensity but
Speaker 1: still not make mistakes. And I do think that's all
Speaker 1: part of the game. But yeah, you can Brock will say, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm rebbed up right now, and it's it's not about
Speaker 1: being nervous or anxious. It's just about that's what the
Speaker 1: situation is. And um, that's why it's hard for a
Speaker 1: lot of people. That's why a lot of people can
Speaker 1: be on free throws, but then when they get into
Speaker 1: a real NBA game, they can't hit anything. So that's
Speaker 1: why some kickers are awesome in practice, and then you
Speaker 1: get into those games and it's it's just different. So
Speaker 1: that happens with everybody, and um, the quarterbacks, who's got
Speaker 1: to take all these hits and sit in the pocket,
Speaker 1: keep his eyes down the field. Man, you better be
Speaker 1: rubbed up and rebbed up and in a mindset for
Speaker 1: in a physical battle, but also relaxed enough so that
Speaker 1: you don't overdo anything. So that's the challenge of the position.
Speaker 1: I was as the season went on and Javan Kim
Speaker 1: Long was doing its best to rehab and get back.
Speaker 1: Are you pleasantly surprised to be getting out of him
Speaker 1: what you're getting right now? Yeah? Yeah, you know. I
Speaker 1: mean everyone knows the expectations that were on Kim Law,
Speaker 1: just with how great of a player he was coming
Speaker 1: out of college, how good he was for us, and
Speaker 1: then how the huge stepback he had with his injuries.
Speaker 1: And I really don't believe he was gonna be able
Speaker 1: to come back at all this year, um, just with
Speaker 1: what he's gone through, and so to be able to
Speaker 1: get him back and add some depth to our d
Speaker 1: line and just honestly watching him and watch him get
Speaker 1: better at it each week. I think he's really helped
Speaker 1: us in the run game. He's definitely having an effect
Speaker 1: in the past game, and we needed that depth coming back,
Speaker 1: especially with some of the guys we lost with Ridgeway
Speaker 1: and things like that. It takes. So I talked about
Speaker 1: how I who Charles a mena who is? What have
Speaker 1: you seen from him especially through this last couple of games.
Speaker 1: Just his consistency and um doing his job each and
Speaker 1: every play. I mean, Charles got such good length, um
Speaker 1: and even when he's blocked, he has a way of
Speaker 1: effect on the quarterback because of the length that he has.
Speaker 1: And but what he's done just not only get into
Speaker 1: the quarterback that you guys see with the stats and everything,
Speaker 1: but it's also important when you don't get to him
Speaker 1: and not let him out of that pocket and rush
Speaker 1: up the field and things like that. And I think
Speaker 1: he's done a real good job of that here in
Speaker 1: these last couple of games, of still being able to
Speaker 1: affect the quarterbacks um and not just always just trying
Speaker 1: to rush past the quarterback because he's condensed that pocket.
Speaker 1: He's affected him and he had a huge game for
Speaker 1: us on Saturday, And UM, I know he can keep
Speaker 1: getting better too, So pump to have him here on
Speaker 1: our team, and I'm excited to see how this finishes.
Speaker 1: LF one. The rest of the year we have you
Speaker 1: had another Broxburty emotional question. Um, but there was a
Speaker 1: deep path through the auk um in the second quarter.
Speaker 1: Maybe there's a miscommunication depot was also opened on that.
Speaker 1: He was like screaming. I guess some anger frustration afterwards.
Speaker 1: Two things, What what did happen on that play? And
Speaker 1: then when you see you guys and talking about you know,
Speaker 1: he will you know, get after people? Did that reveal
Speaker 1: itself like after he became the starter or was he
Speaker 1: doing this kind of getting after guys even when he
Speaker 1: was a back then. Um, I mean he addresses guys
Speaker 1: when something goes wrong, and he's done that since the
Speaker 1: first time he's gotten in there. I mean he hasn't
Speaker 1: always been in there with the ones and stuff, so
Speaker 1: but whenever the receiver does something then they're on a
Speaker 1: different page. He addresses things and gets it corrected. So
Speaker 1: that's what happened there, and Um he addressed b A accordingly. Um,
Speaker 1: on the play. Alright, guys, appreciate it, so you only that.
Speaker 1: Al Right, guys, thanks,
