1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,080 Speaker 1: All right, since Trent Brown hadn't played I guess a 2 00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:05,800 Speaker 1: ton of left tackle in the NFL career and even 3 00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:10,039 Speaker 1: going back to college, is there a degree of uncertainty 4 00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:12,440 Speaker 1: about how we would hold up in that position even 5 00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:17,080 Speaker 1: heading into the regular season. Well, we took you know, um, 6 00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:21,040 Speaker 1: you know, we had a lot of opportunity to work 7 00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:24,520 Speaker 1: with with Trent and all of our tackles really, um 8 00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:28,080 Speaker 1: and we and we kind of um you know as 9 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:31,520 Speaker 1: as normal procedure here, we don't just you know, put 10 00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:33,320 Speaker 1: a guy at one spot and never move them around 11 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:36,040 Speaker 1: at all. So you know, we worked you know, most 12 00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:37,879 Speaker 1: of our linemen work on both the right and the 13 00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:40,400 Speaker 1: left side as we go through the year, just to 14 00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:44,400 Speaker 1: get experienced there because we know how challenging our year 15 00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,519 Speaker 1: can be in terms of um, you know, injuries and 16 00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:51,599 Speaker 1: the durability of their overall group sometimes gets you know challenged, 17 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:53,760 Speaker 1: and then you have to have other guys play roles. 18 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 1: So um, you know, whatever was the best fit for 19 00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,960 Speaker 1: our team is what we always want to do. Um. 20 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,480 Speaker 1: It ended up being, you know, playing out this way. 21 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:08,120 Speaker 1: Isaiah's injury, you know, certainly, uh, you know that we 22 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 1: were all disappointed when that happened. Um, but you know, 23 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 1: Trent has done a good job and any role that 24 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:19,120 Speaker 1: we've asked him to play, UH, and he's settled in 25 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:23,880 Speaker 1: nicely over there on the left side and embraced every, um, 26 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 1: you know, everything we've asked him to do since he's 27 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 1: been here. So UM, I wouldn't say we were worried 28 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,319 Speaker 1: about anything. We just always go into everything with an 29 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:34,200 Speaker 1: open mind and try to get the guys to play 30 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:37,119 Speaker 1: the physicians that um that they can have the most 31 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 1: success doing, and whatever's best for the team, that's what 32 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 1: we try to get done. Great, Thanks Josh. The next 33 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 1: question would be Michael. Thanks Stacy, morning Josh. How are 34 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 1: you good, Mike? How you doing? I'm well. I wanted 35 00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 1: to ask you about Cordarrel Patterson and what are some 36 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 1: of the personality traits and characteristics he's brought to the 37 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 1: team that's made him fun to work with year.

In general terms, UM, 40 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:19,120 Speaker 1: I think he likes playing football. UM, enjoys, you know, 41 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,639 Speaker 1: preparing each week, and and uh embraces any any role 42 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 1: we give him, which we've obviously given him a number 43 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 1: of different things to uh, to do to help our team, 44 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 1: and he's embraced every one of them. Um. You know, 45 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 1: he's a he's a guy who works hard, he's smart, 46 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:40,679 Speaker 1: he's got a positive attitude and UM, I think you know, uh, 47 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 1: there's not a guy in our building that doesn't like CP. 48 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 1: So UM and just a good guy to be around, 49 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 1: a good positive energy and uh and it really um 50 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 1: has done a good job of being an unselfish teammate. 51 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,240 Speaker 1: And we've asked this guy to do everything from run 52 00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 1: the ball in the goal line to you know, line 53 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 1: up in backfield and block people to uh, you know, 54 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 1: catch passes and return kicks and you know, you guys 55 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 1: know all the things he's done. So UM, you know 56 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:15,240 Speaker 1: he's he's been a versatile contributor, always with a great 57 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,239 Speaker 1: outlook on the week, and it wants to help in 58 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 1: any way that he can, which is uh, you know, 59 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,399 Speaker 1: the sign of an unselfish guy that you know really 60 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 1: wants to do what's best of the team. And if 61 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 1: I could follow up, Josh, is that something you knew 62 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 1: pretty much at the beginning of the season or in 63 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 1: training camp? Where is his ability to contribute in different 64 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 1: ways grown as the season's gone on. I think you 65 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 1: you know you you obviously knew that he's got a 66 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 1: skill set that allows him to be used in a 67 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 1: bunch of different ways, you know, and he has throughout 68 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 1: the course of his career. Um, it's just a matter 69 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 1: of you know, having enough time and exposure to some 70 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 1: of those things to feel comfortable one putting him in 71 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 1: those positions and to giving him an opportunity to to 72 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 1: feel comfortable and have success doing them. So um, you know, 73 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 1: we've we've never been a we've never been shy about 74 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 1: trying people in different roles if we think it could 75 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 1: help our team in any capacity. And CP, you know, 76 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 1: he's he does a lot of different things for our 77 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 1: team and you know, um, some of which getting noticed, 78 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 1: some of which probably don't get as much of attention. 79 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 1: You know, he blocked and blocked in a running game 80 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 1: very well the other day, I did a lot of 81 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 1: good things that allowed us to create some space in 82 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 1: a run game too. So um, yeah, he's multi faceted 83 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 1: and and he's had a great attitude about all the 84 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 1: things we've asked him to do. Thank you, Josh, especially me. 85 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 1: Bob Socie followed by No Princio I Thanks Stacy, Good morning, Josh, 86 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 1: Good morning bub. I want to ask you about the 87 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:59,280 Speaker 1: effectiveness of play action and how important is it and 88 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 1: how much of effort do you guys make to have 89 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 1: the same movements of players, whether it's a pulling guard 90 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,039 Speaker 1: or even the same formation, uh, that you will run 91 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 1: out of the times and then be able to pass 92 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,160 Speaker 1: out of out of that that same look the same 93 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 1: kind of movements from you know, people other than the 94 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,719 Speaker 1: guys are involved in the pass and the catch and 95 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:24,600 Speaker 1: how important that is and in causing some confusion for 96 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:31,479 Speaker 1: defenders when they try to read their keys. Well, I 97 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 1: think anytime that you could make one thing look like 98 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 1: something else, UM, that creates a uh, that creates a 99 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 1: conflict UM, you know, on the defensive side of the ball. So, UM, 100 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 1: those are all positives. You know, if you can make 101 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 1: a run look like a pass or vice versa, UM, 102 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 1: that's certainly something that's productive and can be useful for you. UM. 103 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,840 Speaker 1: At the same time, I would say, you know, UM, 104 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 1: there's a lot of different things throughout the course of 105 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:05,240 Speaker 1: the game that you could use to try to, you know, 106 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,719 Speaker 1: make something look a little different. And you know, you 107 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 1: have sixty some plays a game you know, you're you're 108 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,479 Speaker 1: going to be able to hide certain things and other 109 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,600 Speaker 1: times you're just gonna, you know, line up and count 110 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,600 Speaker 1: on your execution being better than than what the defense 111 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,720 Speaker 1: might be able to play on their side. So the 112 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,160 Speaker 1: most important thing I've always I've always thought this way. 113 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 1: The most important thing is that our guys know what 114 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 1: to do and they can execute their assignments fast and 115 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:36,480 Speaker 1: aggressive and play physical and fundamentally sound. And as long 116 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 1: as they're doing that, I think we feel like we 117 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 1: give ourselves a good chance to have some success on 118 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 1: that play if we can add something to it, protect it, 119 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,720 Speaker 1: marry it with another player two or three in the 120 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:50,800 Speaker 1: game plan so that the defense has to look at 121 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,040 Speaker 1: a lot of different things the same way. You know, 122 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,280 Speaker 1: then that's great too. So I think you've got to 123 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 1: you always look to try to help yourselves as best 124 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:04,360 Speaker 1: she can by not giving away whatever it is you're 125 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 1: trying to run, And if that means we can marry 126 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:11,360 Speaker 1: some things together, then certainly we're gonna try to do that. Great. 127 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 1: I appreciate it. Thanks, right, next question being Nord Prince, 128 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 1: you're already followed by you, Evan Mozar Josh. I believe 129 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 1: it was David Andrews esterday and who said something about 130 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 1: you guys, along with all the positives from Sunday talking 131 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 1: about meeting to do better in goal line situations. And 132 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 1: I was just wondering if there's anything specifically that led 133 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,679 Speaker 1: to those conversations in your guys and meetings and anything 134 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 1: that you think would lead to improvement in that area. Yeah, well, 135 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 1: I mean there's a First of all, there's a lot 136 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 1: of things we talk about trying to improve from the 137 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 1: Jet game that you know, that could be one of them. Certainly, 138 00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 1: we had some six we you know, we think we 139 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 1: converted three short yardage after tunities and and we failed 140 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 1: on one and then we you know, we we scored 141 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 1: on the goal line and had a couple of times 142 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 1: where we were close but didn't quite get it in. So, um, 143 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 1: you know, every time we play a game, there's many 144 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 1: things that we talk about trying to do better. That's 145 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 1: why you coach the film and uh, that's why the 146 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,680 Speaker 1: players are eager, uh you know, to come in and 147 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 1: see how they can improve and and help, you know, 148 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 1: help the team by improving you know, their technique or 149 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 1: fundamentals on a specific play. But um, you know, shortyards 150 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,439 Speaker 1: and goal line. It's there's you know, there's not a 151 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,439 Speaker 1: lot of mystery in some of those things. I mean, 152 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,720 Speaker 1: you know you got to leverage. Uh, you know, you 153 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,680 Speaker 1: want to play the lower man usually wins in our game, 154 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 1: and um, try to get some movement a line of 155 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 1: scrimmage and and uh, look, those are tough plays. Um, 156 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:50,959 Speaker 1: you know there's a reason why they're not easy, and 157 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,199 Speaker 1: you want to try to You always want to try 158 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 1: to be successful every chance you have, um, you know, 159 00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:58,400 Speaker 1: on the goal line or in the short yard of 160 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,439 Speaker 1: situations because it usually means the difference between scoring points 161 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 1: or keeping possession of the ball. So, um, a lot 162 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,600 Speaker 1: of little things go into that. We coached, um, you know, 163 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,720 Speaker 1: everything we could hard yesterday like we always do on 164 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,680 Speaker 1: the day after the game. And uh, hopefully we'll continue 165 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:15,440 Speaker 1: to try to make some progress in each area of 166 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 1: our of our offense. Gotcha, thanks jam Uh huh. Next 167 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:26,440 Speaker 1: question is Evan Bizarre, followed by Phil Perry. Hey, Josh, 168 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,679 Speaker 1: kind of along those same lines, and red zone efficiency 169 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 1: has dropped a little bit of the last four games. 170 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,680 Speaker 1: Just wanted to get your read on maybe some of 171 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 1: the reasons why that has happened. Yeah, we you know, 172 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's that area of the field is 173 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 1: always about you know, UM, you know, execution and toughness 174 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:54,560 Speaker 1: and UM and uh, you know we've we've had a 175 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:57,240 Speaker 1: few opportunities and and and just came up a little 176 00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 1: short on those. UM And certainly we we stressed that 177 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:02,679 Speaker 1: each week, and you know that's going to be a 178 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 1: huge part of this this week's game against the Vikings. UM. 179 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 1: This is as good a red area defense as there 180 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,319 Speaker 1: is in the league. And you know, they're they're very 181 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,840 Speaker 1: well schooled at what they do. Or they're physical and 182 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 1: fast and there's not a lot of margin for error. 183 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 1: So UM, you know, our execution, we're just gonna have 184 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 1: to work hard this week and know what we want 185 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 1: to get done and then try to go out there 186 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,920 Speaker 1: and execute it against a really good defense. UM on 187 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,960 Speaker 1: Sunday in those situations because you know we're down there, 188 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 1: you know, you certainly you know, at this time of 189 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:34,720 Speaker 1: the year, you have to make the most of every 190 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:38,079 Speaker 1: opportunity you have and score touchdowns. And when we come 191 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 1: away with field goals, UM, you know, we we we 192 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 1: you feel like it's an empty trip sometimes, so we uh, 193 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 1: we've got to do a good job of, UM, you know, 194 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,200 Speaker 1: really understanding what the game plan is going out there 195 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:51,840 Speaker 1: and having a great week of practice and then being 196 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 1: able to execute when we have our chances on Sunday night. Thanks. 197 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 1: It looks like the last question, thanks staff, Josh. You 198 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 1: you sort of just hit on the Vikings effectiveness defensively 199 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 1: in the red zone. It looks like according to some 200 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,080 Speaker 1: of the numbers, they've been really good against the run, 201 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:17,560 Speaker 1: uh this year, And I just wanted to ask you 202 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 1: what what has made them so effective in that regard? 203 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 1: And after the performance you guys had running the ball, UM, 204 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 1: how long do you try to stick with something like 205 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,679 Speaker 1: that to you know, get yourselves going, but at the 206 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 1: same time knowing, okay, we don't want to you know, 207 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 1: slam our heads up against the wall here. Yeah this uh, 208 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:41,120 Speaker 1: look there. Coach Zimmer does a tremendous job. He always has. 209 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 1: We've competed against him a number of times in different places. UM, 210 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 1: and his defenses UM have always been this way. UM. 211 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 1: I mean they rank highly in every statistical category, deservedly so. UM. 212 00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,960 Speaker 1: They have really good players at all three levels of 213 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:02,160 Speaker 1: the defense. They're really well coached, they're extremely sound, UM, 214 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:06,680 Speaker 1: and they challenge. They really challenge you on third down, um, 215 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,440 Speaker 1: and in the red zone. UM, some schematically and just 216 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:11,920 Speaker 1: some based on their personnel and their rush and the 217 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,680 Speaker 1: way they cover and how they mix up their calls. UM. 218 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 1: But um, they they you know, they have a really 219 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,560 Speaker 1: good they have a great front. Let's just you know, 220 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 1: they have a great front. They have linebackers that are 221 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:26,520 Speaker 1: very athletic. The team speed in general is tremendous. Um. 222 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:30,200 Speaker 1: You're not going to outrun this group. Um. And and 223 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 1: their scheme compliments their players very well. Um. You know, 224 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:37,440 Speaker 1: they get excellent safety play. They don't give up a 225 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 1: lot of big plays in the run or the pass games. 226 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 1: So you're gonna have to drive the football. Um, you're 227 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:45,680 Speaker 1: gonna have to convert some third downs during the course 228 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 1: of the drive. And this is the best third down 229 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:52,080 Speaker 1: team in all the football easily. UM. So UM, there's 230 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 1: a lot to um. There's a lot for us to 231 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 1: wrap our minds around. And and we really got to 232 00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:00,160 Speaker 1: have a great week of preparation. This is uh um 233 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:02,439 Speaker 1: as big a challenge as we're going to have all 234 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:06,360 Speaker 1: years so far, and we're excited to start our preparation 235 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 1: and to answer your second part of your question. I 236 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 1: think you look, we always you know, the reason we 237 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,720 Speaker 1: game plan a certain way and in practice and prepare 238 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,600 Speaker 1: heart is to try to be successful and eat each 239 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 1: area of our game plan. And you know, you just 240 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 1: you know, you always want to be balanced and maintain 241 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 1: your balance if you can. It's certainly a better way 242 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 1: to play football if you can do that and not 243 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,280 Speaker 1: tell the defense what you're trying to do on each play. 244 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:36,720 Speaker 1: But you know, the game has to the flow of 245 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:40,000 Speaker 1: the game will to determine many times, you know whether 246 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 1: or not you you know, throw it more than you 247 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 1: run it, run it more than you throw it, or 248 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:47,800 Speaker 1: somewhere in the middle. And you know our intent is 249 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,720 Speaker 1: to do everything we're trying to do in the game. Well, 250 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:53,559 Speaker 1: certainly that is not going to happen each week. I mean, 251 00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:56,400 Speaker 1: the other teams that we play are are really good, 252 00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:58,960 Speaker 1: and this week is is you know, we've got an 253 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,680 Speaker 1: exceptional group on the side of the ball. So, um, 254 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:03,840 Speaker 1: we're gonna try to have a great week of preparation 255 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,319 Speaker 1: and practice and and be ready to play our best 256 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,959 Speaker 1: best game on Sunday and um and go out there 257 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:13,440 Speaker 1: and really compete hard against a tremendous unit. Great. Thanks 258 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:17,080 Speaker 1: Josh m hmm. Thank you, Josh, thank you,
