1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,120
Speaker 1: The schedule sets up in the next couple of weeks

2
00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:06,520
Speaker 1: with two division fos. You are you are you fine

3
00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:09,520
Speaker 1: with that because in terms of helping your players regain

4
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:12,240
Speaker 1: focus or does it really matter who the next opponents are?

5
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 2: You know, yeah, obviously you don't control the schedule, but

6
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 2: I I, I it's it w you know, listen, I

7
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 2: I've been in situations where I've had four division games

8
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 2: to end the season before. So it it it is,

9
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 2: it is what it is, you know, And and uh,

10
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 2: just so happens. You got Tennessee and Houston back to back,

11
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 2: So just a great opportunity for us to to get

12
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:36,599
Speaker 2: back on track. What was your what was your approach?

13
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 3: Uh?

14
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:38,960
Speaker 4: If you have you spoken with the team already today?

15
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 2: Yes?

16
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 1: Okay, Well I'm just wondered, what was your approach with

17
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:45,239
Speaker 1: them toward uh, the events of yesterday just kind of hey,

18
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 1: let let's get it and move on.

19
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 2: Or do you dwell I mean with your No, I

20
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 2: mean you can't dwell too much. I mean, obviously you

21
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 2: know they're they're in here. I want them to watch

22
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 2: the film. I want them to make the corrections they

23
00:00:58,000 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 2: need to. They need to see it, they need to

24
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:04,039
Speaker 2: h I challenge them to be critical of their performance,

25
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 2: you know, good and bad, and then and then take

26
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 2: the constructive criticism that the coach might have, you know,

27
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 2: and and it's the only way we can continue to

28
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 2: get better. And you know, it's it's disappointing that that,

29
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 2: you know, really both sides the ball. I thought special

30
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 2: teams was decent yesterday probably the one bright spot. But

31
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,759
Speaker 2: offense and defense just did not play our best. And

32
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 2: it's you know, it's a head scratcher, and and things

33
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:38,759
Speaker 2: that when you look at it, you know, four giveaways,

34
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 2: five sacks, no takeaways, two sacks, I think, you know,

35
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 2: start the game with a touchdown and the half of

36
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 2: the field goal, start the third quarter with the touchdown.

37
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 2: So all things that are you know, you kind of

38
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 2: it's right there. So I want them to see it.

39
00:01:58,200 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 2: I want them to make the corrections and move on.

40
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 4: How do you kind of get this offense on track?

41
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 2: I mean it it's it's been there, It's been on

42
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 2: track at times. You know. It just it just comes

43
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 2: down to, you know, the the preparation. I talk to

44
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 2: the guys all the time about their preparation. When when

45
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 2: they're outside of this building, you know, what are they

46
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 2: what are they doing a little extra you know, are

47
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 2: they are they studying you know, extra tape. Are they

48
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 2: looking at every you know, cutup of a certain route

49
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 2: or coverage or defensive front blitz whatever it might be,

50
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 2: just to just to stay sharp and stay you know,

51
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 2: stay up on what they could possibly see during a game.

52
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 2: And you know, it just it comes down to, you know,

53
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 2: just the execution. It's it's pl it's plays that were

54
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 2: now recycling because we're so far along that you just

55
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 2: recycle plays. So it's not anything new that we're trying

56
00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 2: to invent or create, and it it it just comes

57
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 2: down to each person just just owning that responsibility.

58
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 5: You can't control injuries, but how far would the progress

59
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 5: of the offense go if you could get five guys

60
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 5: up front.

61
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,640
Speaker 2: And leave that group relatively intact for as long as

62
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 2: you can. Well, I mean that's that's that's big, you know,

63
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 2: having having five guys that are that have would have

64
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,799
Speaker 2: been here for say nine games, right, I mean, there

65
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 2: there'd be more continuity. I think you know, uh, Walker's

66
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 2: still working himself back in it would first full game

67
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 2: back in there, and and really just just understanding you know,

68
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 2: there's a lot of communication that has to go on

69
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 2: up front and and getting all of that down and

70
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 2: the timing and you know it continues to improve, but

71
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 2: but we can definitely get better there. You know, Uh,

72
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 2: we're missing Za obviously, that's a big piece to the

73
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 2: past game. And you know, hopefully hopefully he's he's available,

74
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 2: you know, either this week or next and you know

75
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 2: we can get some of that some of that continuity

76
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 2: back just a little bit any further injuries.

77
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 5: Do you feel like you have the crews right now

78
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 5: that you want and that they'll keep.

79
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 2: I do, I do, Yeah, I do. I I got

80
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 2: a lot of confidence in the group. I mean there's

81
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,599
Speaker 2: no no question or no hesitation. You know, they'll continue

82
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 2: to improve and get better.

83
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 4: Do you have injury update on Tyson Jamal? I don't

84
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 4: know if.

85
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 2: Anybody else is Tyson. You know, it's the same same

86
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 2: injury that he had. He just felt felt a grab

87
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 2: in the game. You know, he's kind of day to

88
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 2: day right now. He felt felt okay today. Uh, but uh,

89
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 2: he's got a couple of days here before we get

90
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,479
Speaker 2: back on the field on Wednesday. But I'm I'm assuming

91
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 2: we'll probably limit him a little bit. You know, this

92
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 2: week and just see where he's at at the end

93
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:51,600
Speaker 2: of the week. Jamal is probably gonna be he fell

94
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:55,280
Speaker 2: on his shoulder in the game, and so he's got

95
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,479
Speaker 2: a little little shoulder issue going on. You know, there's

96
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 2: a potential that that as the week progresses, we'll we'll see,

97
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 2: you know, where he's at. But but it doesn't look

98
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,719
Speaker 2: promising obviously right now, you know, on a Monday. But

99
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 2: we'll see where he is during the course of the week.

100
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,919
Speaker 2: Everybody else just had a little nicks and bumps and

101
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 2: bruises came out of the game.

102
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,840
Speaker 3: Okay, it seemed like that might have been a little

103
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 3: bit of a long meeting with Shot after the game yesterday.

104
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,239
Speaker 1: Can you kind of share how.

105
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:23,719
Speaker 3: That thing went?

106
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 4: Was that anyway with me? Yeah?

107
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 3: Was there anything longer than a normal postgame meeting you

108
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 3: have with him?

109
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 2: No? No, no, And I wouldn't share our comments.

110
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, not to you know, offer any excuses for you.

111
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 5: But there's a lot of teams that have blowouts losses,

112
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 5: you know, Miami's, Miami, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh. A lot of good

113
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:50,359
Speaker 5: teams have had days like Guessterday. For whatever reason. Is

114
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 5: it the nature of this league that sometimes get behind

115
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 5: the eight ball or early things just keep snowballing, or.

116
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:01,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I think I think there's some of that.

117
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, obviously we caught a San Francisco

118
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 2: team that that had lost three and and I felt

119
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 2: like they they, you know, their sense of urgency was

120
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 2: was greater than ours. You know, in the game yesterday,

121
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 2: played a little faster than we did yesterday, you know,

122
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 2: And I think after the game someone asked me if

123
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 2: they were if they were desperate, and good teams are

124
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,159
Speaker 2: never desperate. They're just good, you know, and and they

125
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 2: they figure it out. And that's what we're trying to

126
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 2: do right now. We're I still think we're a good

127
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 2: football team, and we're still trying to figure some things

128
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 2: out right and some pieces. But we got behind the

129
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:46,840
Speaker 2: eight ball quickly yesterday and just never could recover all

130
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:47,279
Speaker 2: of a sudden.

131
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,599
Speaker 4: Done. If the season ended right now, you'd be the.

132
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 2: Third seed, I know. That's the crazy thing about it,

133
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 2: you know. And and again that's that's kind of the

134
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 2: positive that I left with the guys. You know, you're

135
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 2: in you're in a you're in a good position. You're

136
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,359
Speaker 2: still in first place in the AFC South, and you know,

137
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 2: you got two big matchups coming up, obviously, and and

138
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 2: you know it's it's still it's still right there in

139
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 2: front of us.

140
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 4: Is there something to the home performances this year? Is

141
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 4: that just kind of how things have shaken out?

142
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 2: I wish I could honestly answer that question. It's the

143
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 2: it's the darnedest thing. You know, you're in front of

144
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 2: your crowd and fans, and you're at home, and and

145
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 2: you know, we've done it three times now this year.

146
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 2: We haven't played our best and all three you know,

147
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 2: all three losses, and you know, there's got to be

148
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 2: that sense of urgency like I was talking about with

149
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 2: the guys you know too. And it wasn't that they

150
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 2: they weren't prepared or ready, because there was. There was

151
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 2: a lot of energy and a lot of excitement and

152
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 2: pregame and and all of that. It's just I mean,

153
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 2: when you look at it, you know, the offense goes

154
00:07:55,120 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 2: three and out, sack on third down, okay, And this

155
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 2: is what's crazy. You know, we blocked the wrong guy,

156
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 2: we had a false start, we had a missed miss

157
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 2: signal on the screen on the second possession, okay, and

158
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 2: then we ended up had a sack we punt punt

159
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 2: on the third series. Fourth series we had a delay,

160
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 2: a game of fumble or a sacked fumble. Okay, fifth

161
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 2: series we finally got it together and we went down

162
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 2: and got a field goal. But why is it going

163
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 2: to take it take us to the fifth series to

164
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 2: get it going? That's offensively, you know. So it's nothing

165
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 2: that really it's everything we can control. And so these

166
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 2: are the things that that you know, we show our

167
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 2: guys and if we can eliminate this, what puts us

168
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:41,439
Speaker 2: in a better position.

169
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 4: You put it like that, you have you feel a

170
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 4: little bit better about it because those are things that

171
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,319
Speaker 4: are one all controllable.

172
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 2: It's all controllable. We're at home, Cadence should be a

173
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 2: friend of ours, but yet we still jump off sides, right,

174
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 2: I mean we have a delay game eventually in there,

175
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 2: you know, of course late and that late in the

176
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 2: you know, third fourth order, when you're fourth in desperation

177
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 2: the pick I get it. Sometimes that happens, you know.

178
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 2: But you know, four turnovers, they got fourteen points, you know,

179
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 2: and that's those are hard to overcome.

180
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 1: A little minors defenders that they were able to confuse

181
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 1: Trevor and and make them hold the ball longer than

182
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 1: he usually would.

183
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:21,679
Speaker 4: Is that how you guys thought that.

184
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 2: You know, they do a nice job of holding their

185
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 2: safeties a little bit. But I think I think for

186
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 2: the most part, you know, we had a really good

187
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 2: understanding and feeling of what they were going to do

188
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 2: and where they were going to be. They did a

189
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 2: nice job, you know, with our with our receivers and

190
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 2: and you know that's the one thing that you know,

191
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 2: because they have such a great pass rush too. You know,

192
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 2: if you can hold coverage and different things a little

193
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,680
Speaker 2: bit longer, buys a little extra time, extra second for

194
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 2: your for your pass rush to get there, and and

195
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 2: some of that, some of that happened yesterday. But you know,

196
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 2: we've got to do a better job of helping our

197
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 2: players too, you know, as coaches and make sure that

198
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 2: that we're putting them in good situations by play call

199
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 2: or design or you know, we just weren't efficient on

200
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 2: first down either, you know. But but again, you know,

201
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 2: credit Sam Praz they did a nice job.

202
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 3: I know teams are trying to take Ridley out of

203
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 3: the game there, but I know, you know, other teams

204
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 3: have top receivers that other teams concentrate on as well,

205
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 3: and they're still able to get the ball to him.

206
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 3: So do you want to see more of an emphasis

207
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 3: on him getting the ball trying to kind of break.

208
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 2: That, Yeah, you know, and I don't want to. I

209
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:32,719
Speaker 2: don't want to force the ball his way. You gotta understand, too,

210
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 2: he's had he's drawn nine penalties I think this year, right,

211
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 2: and and for one hundred plus yards, you know, so

212
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 2: if you make those plays, maybe we're talking there has

213
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 2: nine more catches or something, you know what I'm saying,

214
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 2: So maybe we're talking a little bit differently. So it's

215
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 2: it's one of those things where it feels like we're

216
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 2: not targeting him, but but we are. And teams, listen,

217
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 2: teams are also you know, taking a safety his way.

218
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 2: Didn't do it so much yesterday, but sometimes they are

219
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:04,079
Speaker 2: cloud in his side and doing different things and and

220
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 2: the ball has to go somewhere else. But we do

221
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 2: try to make a conscious effort to get to get

222
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 2: him involved early in the game and and as often

223
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 2: as we can, well, I mean one one you can,

224
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 2: you can be a little bit more, I think balancing

225
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 2: your passing games. He gives you a comfort level that

226
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 2: that that Trevor has he knows exactly where he's gonna be.

227
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 2: He helps you a little bit more maybe on third down,

228
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 2: which he's gonna draw some coverage. His way is gonna

229
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,439
Speaker 2: open up Calvin, it's gonna open up Christian or Evan,

230
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 2: you know. And and those are things that that we've

231
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 2: missed a little bit, you know, with a being out.

232
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 2: But you know, listen, it's it's always the next man up.

233
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 2: I thought, you know, Tim had some big catches yesterday

234
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 2: and and filled in, and you know, we just gotta

235
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 2: just gotta continue to go, continue to work.

236
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: You said last year that you're three and seven, you

237
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 1: still had a feeling that you were gonna end up

238
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 1: playing for a division title, So you didn't You obviously

239
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 1: didn't panic when you're three and seven, So what what a.

240
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:11,079
Speaker 4: H How do you feel now?

241
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 1: Obviously a different feeling, right, sure, the considered kind of

242
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 1: a favorite in the division going into the year.

243
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 2: Uh, yeah, it's is it?

244
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 4: Is it feeling any different now?

245
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 2: No? I mean there's still no panic. I mean I

246
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 2: think if you panic, then you've almost you've almost sort

247
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 2: of waved the white flag a little bit, you know.

248
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 2: But this is what I want our team to understand

249
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 2: is is you know, you're still sitting in first place.

250
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 2: Everything's right here in front of you. You control it.

251
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 2: You've put yourself in a good situation, obviously. And if

252
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 2: we can just eliminate or or even minimize some of

253
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 2: these mistakes that we're making and and shooting ourselves in

254
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 2: the foot, as we say, then it puts you in

255
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 2: a better position to to get into the fourth quarter

256
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 2: and potentially you know, win games. But uh, it's also

257
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 2: different being six and three than three and six or

258
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 2: three and seven as well, you know, and and and

259
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 2: sometimes too. You got to play. You don't worry about

260
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 2: the record. You play as if your back's against the

261
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,680
Speaker 2: wall every day, you know, and you come out and

262
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 2: and and give it your best shot.

263
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 4: So that might have been the worst game of his career.

264
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 4: How do you talk to him after a game like that.

265
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 2: Well, you know the fact that he acknowledges that that's enough. Really,

266
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 2: I just I just didn't keep encouraging him. You know,

267
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 2: we we're gonna we have the confidence in him. You know,

268
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 2: we're not doubting anything. As the staff, none of that

269
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 2: kind of stuff takes place. And you know, he's the

270
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 2: type of guy that that'll that'll get a lot of this,

271
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 2: you know, fixed, and he'll be he'll be a part

272
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 2: of the reason why, you know, we have success moving forward.

273
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 3: Hasn't been a little bit better or helped Walker little

274
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 3: to have gotten a you know, all camp at left

275
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:52,439
Speaker 3: guard instead of.

276
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 4: Having to play you know, left tackle. And you know,

277
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 4: is he comfortable there yet or does he? You know,

278
00:13:57,760 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 4: is he not at the level you want?

279
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 2: It's hard. He hasn't had a ton of reps in there,

280
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 2: you know, and when he did and get hurt and

281
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 2: he's missed. I mean, he's had the practice reps, but

282
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 2: they're not game reps. So yeah, I think it it

283
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 2: it It helped hurts him a little bit that he

284
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:13,679
Speaker 2: didn't get all those snaps in there. But he's he's

285
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 2: he's good enough and and smart enough and all that

286
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 2: athletic enough to know the role, know the job, knows assignments,

287
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 2: you know. Now it's just a matter and look, he's

288
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 2: playing in more condensed spaces too, so it's different than

289
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 2: being out you know, on those islands as a tackle,

290
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 2: so he's getting used to that as well. But you know,

291
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 2: he's done, he's done some good things and and he's

292
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 2: still working working through the process
