1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,719 Speaker 1: Have your guys done a good job this week balancing 2 00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:06,880 Speaker 1: the work commitment with getting ready for Christmas? And do 3 00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:09,520 Speaker 1: you have any messages for them in general for keeping 4 00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:12,920 Speaker 1: their focus intact. Yeah, i'd say when you're at work, 5 00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:15,239 Speaker 1: come to work, be president at work and be focused in. 6 00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:18,160 Speaker 1: When you're home with your family, be present with your family, 7 00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:20,000 Speaker 1: and don't try to divide the time right there, so 8 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:23,200 Speaker 1: there's a time for you know, holidays, it's obviously special 9 00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:25,360 Speaker 1: to us. We do the same thing on Thanksgiving, Christmas, 10 00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:28,560 Speaker 1: um other holidays throughout the year. But I want to 11 00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:30,680 Speaker 1: make sure that you know when when our guys are anywhere, 12 00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:32,920 Speaker 1: that they're locked in and present in that situation. Is 13 00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:34,800 Speaker 1: important for the players and coaches to be with their 14 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,520 Speaker 1: children Tomorrow morning, to be with their loved ones, and 15 00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:39,959 Speaker 1: that's gonna be you know, watching open presents as well 16 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:41,720 Speaker 1: as dinner tomorrow and when we're out of here, we've 17 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:44,519 Speaker 1: abbreviated the day tomorrow like twelve to three. We're in 18 00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:46,600 Speaker 1: the building, will be kind of a shorten up Friday. 19 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:48,279 Speaker 1: We're gonna kind of supplement some of the time we're 20 00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:50,880 Speaker 1: not gonna have tomorrow with meetings you after practice today 21 00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:52,880 Speaker 1: to make sure We're not missing any material or information. 22 00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 1: We're just rearranging how it is to give us more 23 00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,760 Speaker 1: time on Friday. But Bruce, overall, I think they've done 24 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,280 Speaker 1: a very good job coming to work, being locked and 25 00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:04,360 Speaker 1: being focused and uh, look, at some point today we'll 26 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,120 Speaker 1: take some time to you know, wish some holiday cheer 27 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 1: and have a few smiles and uh, and then get 28 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 1: out of building. Hey, Joe, Uh, Merry Christmas death. Darius 29 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:21,640 Speaker 1: Layton's production these last six seven games is way down, 30 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 1: and that coincides with him being on the injury you report. 31 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,959 Speaker 1: For a while, I'm wondering if you see him battling 32 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 1: through some things and that's why, or is maybe the 33 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,320 Speaker 1: book out on him and he needs to adjust the 34 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:35,759 Speaker 1: defenses after a really good rookie year plus here. Well, 35 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:37,400 Speaker 1: I think everyone at this time of year is battling 36 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 1: through a lot of things, Ryan, So that's not unique 37 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,039 Speaker 1: really at any one player. There's some guys that aren't 38 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:42,800 Speaker 1: on the injury port. They just have, you know, bumps 39 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 1: and bruises. I'd say, once the first day training camp happens, 40 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 1: no one's anymore. So this time of year, everyone's a 41 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 1: little bit less than a gas tank. We've gotta Philip 42 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 1: much as we can keep empty on daily basis. That 43 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 1: being said, we've got to keep doing a good job 44 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 1: as coaches of just creating situations for our players to 45 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 1: be successful, and when the opportunities come their way, we 46 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 1: have to make the plays. And it's as simple as that. 47 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 1: I think we can try to force it. As players, 48 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 1: you've got to go out there and play responsibility. One 49 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 1: thing about the receiver position is if there's seventy plays 50 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,800 Speaker 1: in the game and you have five catches, that's a 51 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,520 Speaker 1: great game. I'm more concerned about the other sixty five plays. 52 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 1: What are you doing? Are you blocking when you don't 53 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:18,400 Speaker 1: have the ball? Are you playing with good effort? Are 54 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,399 Speaker 1: your assignment sound? What do you bring in the team? 55 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 1: Are you covering kicks in the kicking game? So to me, 56 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 1: it's in the receiver position. A lot of times it 57 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,119 Speaker 1: can be skewed in terms of what kind of game 58 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 1: you've really had. Um, but look, it's any players responsibility 59 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:31,960 Speaker 1: to make the plays that are in front of them, 60 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 1: and the job of the coaches to create opportunities for 61 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:37,080 Speaker 1: our players. And then I have one big picture question. 62 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 1: If I'm not mistaken, the last game was your first 63 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 1: coaches challenge replay flag through Uh, that's a long time 64 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 1: to wait almost fifth fourteen games. Is that something you 65 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 1: know your first year coach? Are you conservative or you 66 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,959 Speaker 1: try to save those for a big moment or what 67 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 1: do you have a philosophy there or is that just 68 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,639 Speaker 1: coincidence it took that long to do one. Yeah. Look, 69 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 1: I rely on the information I get up top with 70 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 1: the guys who have the uh, the monitors, and from 71 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,359 Speaker 1: them for the replay, so they do a great job communicating. 72 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 1: If it's something we think is worth a challenge based 73 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 1: on what they're seeing, then we'll go ahead and use it. Really, 74 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 1: the information we've gotten this year on a lot of 75 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 1: them is that it's not either a clear shot or 76 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,640 Speaker 1: it's not clear to be overturned. And to be honest 77 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:20,640 Speaker 1: with you, I'm not looking to waste timeouts. You know, 78 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 1: it's a valuable asset in the game that you can't 79 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 1: go ahead and burn, especially when you get into the 80 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 1: second half. I mean, those things are like gold. The 81 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,640 Speaker 1: ability to control the clock is something you have to have, 82 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 1: you know, based on situations. So look, if it's worth it, 83 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 1: we're gonna always challenge it because I want to help 84 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 1: the team and make sure we get the calls in 85 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 1: the game right. But at the same time, if it's 86 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 1: not something that we know is gonna work to our favor, 87 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 1: that I'm gonna hold on those assets. Okay, Hey, Joe, 88 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 1: you said yesterday that you made things hard on Daniel 89 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,119 Speaker 1: in a lot of ways. Just curious what you meant 90 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 1: by that and why that was your approach with him. Well, 91 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 1: I think we try to make everything challenging on all 92 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: of our players. Um. But without going to in detail internally, 93 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 1: you know, Look, this was something I had to look. 94 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 1: I had to see from all the players this year. 95 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 1: You know who they really are, how they are as players, 96 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 1: how they respond to hard coaching, how they perform under pressure, 97 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 1: how they handle situations inside and outside the building. Are 98 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 1: there a guy who can you block out external factors 99 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 1: and coming every day and focus. So look, we created 100 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,039 Speaker 1: a situation with Daniel. I want to see how performed 101 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 1: to practice within games that respond to things. Um. And 102 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 1: I just said, like I said, yes, that he's earned 103 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 1: my respect all the way and he's a pleasure to coach. 104 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,160 Speaker 1: He's a pleasure to having a locker room. It's even 105 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 1: better when you have them on the field. So you know, 106 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,040 Speaker 1: without going too much into just intimate details what we 107 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,720 Speaker 1: do in the building. Um. Look, I try not to 108 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 1: make it easy on these guys. You know, as a 109 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,039 Speaker 1: point of fact, if you go ahead and make everything 110 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,159 Speaker 1: easy when they come to work, you're not really preparing 111 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 1: for what they do on Sunday. It's a tough league. 112 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 1: It's a competitive league. Everyone's trying to go ahead and 113 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 1: take you out every week. So it can't be, you know, 114 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,600 Speaker 1: country club when you walk in here to work Arth 115 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 1: Christmas Chas, Hey, Joe, I was hoping you you could 116 00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 1: provide a little bit more clarity. I know you guys 117 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:03,280 Speaker 1: were working through logistics. But Jason this weekend, Uh, if 118 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 1: you'd have him available on Sunday. Do you guys have 119 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 1: a planet yet or do you still have to kind 120 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,719 Speaker 1: of go over what you'll be able to do, what 121 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 1: he'll be able to do this weekend. Yeah, for everything 122 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 1: we understand, he'll be available at the game to call 123 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 1: plays like he has before. There's really more that timetable 124 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 1: from the League of One. You know, he got put 125 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 1: on the COVID list when he can come off. In 126 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 1: terms of travel logistics, we have not finalized that yet. 127 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,920 Speaker 1: Are um We're still waiting a couple of points of clarity, 128 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 1: but we are expecting to have him at the game, 129 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 1: calling plays and being on the sideline. How does that adjust? 130 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 1: I mean, obviously you're not he's not at practice during 131 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 1: the so have you added additional Zoom calls with him 132 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,280 Speaker 1: in the offense or is it still the same protocols 133 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 1: going forward on your end? As far as how much 134 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 1: influence he's been able to have during the week, you know, 135 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,039 Speaker 1: the actual meetings themselves are going very smoothly. You know, 136 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 1: it's it's kind of, you know, crazy, having the voice 137 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 1: come through a speaker in terms of the install and 138 00:05:57,760 --> 00:05:59,160 Speaker 1: talking through it when the guys are in the building. 139 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,480 Speaker 1: That's a little bit different, but look different is really 140 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:03,839 Speaker 1: not a challenge for us. You know, we kind of 141 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 1: you know, want to thrive in that kind of situation. 142 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:07,920 Speaker 1: And uh, you know, today is an installed We did 143 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 1: everything through Zoom anyway, so this is kind of just 144 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,599 Speaker 1: standard business day today. I think Jason has done a 145 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,840 Speaker 1: really good job of adjusting how he's had to work 146 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,280 Speaker 1: of staying connected with the players, are staying connected with 147 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 1: the coaching staff. You know, even when our coaches are 148 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:21,479 Speaker 1: in the building, we're doing a lot of staff meetings 149 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 1: and coaches meetings where everybody's in their own office with 150 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 1: the doors closed and still communicating through zoom. Trying to 151 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 1: keep everything isolated can be so you know, really the 152 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,920 Speaker 1: biggest difference Hart has been just him not being at practice. 153 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 1: You know, Freddie has done a really good job of 154 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,720 Speaker 1: running everything at practice. Um, but I think it all 155 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 1: comes down to our guys understand the flow of practice, 156 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 1: what's expected, what we're doing on a period by period basis, 157 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:46,600 Speaker 1: and the execution has been good. Okay, let's take three 158 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 1: more Highland Jordan Kenna zero ATLNAR. Yeah, a little bit 159 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 1: of injury clean up here. Um, how do you think 160 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:57,360 Speaker 1: Daniel looked yesterday? And three guys questions about Sunday fact 161 00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:01,359 Speaker 1: Rol Freeman and Golden taid. We saw walk over to 162 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 1: the side of the trainers early yesterday. Yeah, so Golden 163 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 1: is probably gonna just stay with the trainers today. We'll 164 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 1: see if you can do a little bit of stuff outside. 165 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 1: We'll see where he's at.

We'll see where that 188 00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 1: go was into this week as well. Um, we've got 189 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 1: to move some numbers around for a lot of things 190 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 1: on the roster with a lot of guys possibly coming off, 191 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 1: so we gotta make sure you make the best decision 192 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 1: for the entire roster. And then in terms of Daniel, look, 193 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 1: I thought he had a good day yesterday. You know, 194 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 1: he had a good day yesterday. I went out there 195 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 1: and put him through everything. Today will be a more 196 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 1: intensive day for him. Today be a more higher volume 197 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 1: day for him. Would be interesting to see how he responds. Uh, 198 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 1: we'll see him out there moving around throughout all the 199 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 1: team periods. Uh, He'll jump right into his normal role 200 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 1: and go forward with it. And the intention is if 201 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 1: he's able to play, we intend to play him. Jordan, Hey, Joe, 202 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 1: h happy holidays. I was gonna follow up on that 203 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 1: or And also, I mean, this is the last time 204 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 1: we're gonna talk to you this week. So how optimistic 205 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 1: are you that Daniels is gonna be able to make 206 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 1: it this week? I was encouraged by how he moved yesterday, 207 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:50,640 Speaker 1: you know, I was really encouraged. I think, you know, 208 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:52,640 Speaker 1: some of the moves we made last week with them, 209 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:54,720 Speaker 1: although it was you know, kind of hard for him 210 00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,080 Speaker 1: to kind of sit out on it with the double injuries, 211 00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 1: but I think that helped resolve some of those issue 212 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 1: use and uh, you know, look, all the feedback we've 213 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:06,240 Speaker 1: got medically is that you know, he's continued to improve 214 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 1: and he's at lesser risk of being injured. And that's 215 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 1: really the things we're looking for right there, as far 216 00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,559 Speaker 1: as you know, the positive news. But moved around nice yesterday. 217 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 1: We'll put them through more today. I can't give you 218 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 1: a percentage or any kind of engage on that, Jordan, 219 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:19,439 Speaker 1: but I would say that we came out of essays 220 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:25,160 Speaker 1: practice feeling like we're on the right track. Joe Americ 221 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 1: Christmas early. Um, can you can you have two questions 222 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,280 Speaker 1: kind of unrelated one offensively obviously the points have been 223 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:38,080 Speaker 1: lacking without getting into specifics, you know, for competitive reasons. 224 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 1: Can you put your finger on what's been missing? Uh, 225 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,960 Speaker 1: you know, is it? Is it? You know, just not 226 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 1: taking advantage of opportunities red zone? What what what's been 227 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,199 Speaker 1: missing in terms of you know, the point production being 228 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 1: so down? Well, I'd say this, look to me, at 229 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 1: the end of the day, as coaches, we gotta make 230 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 1: sure always put our players in the right position. That's 231 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 1: number one and number two when the plays are out 232 00:09:57,679 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 1: that we made. We've got to make them and that's 233 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 1: our job is, which is we have to put the 234 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:02,360 Speaker 1: players in position, and players got to go out there 235 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 1: and play their strengths and be able to make plays 236 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 1: one of the opportunity. So look, we've we've gone ahead 237 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,480 Speaker 1: and we've put ourselves in positions several times, and through 238 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 1: a multitude of reasons, we have to go ahead and 239 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 1: finish dribes better. But we've gotten down there and you know, 240 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 1: we need to come away with points. There's no secret 241 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 1: to that. That's not something we're overlooking internally, that we're 242 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:20,840 Speaker 1: not putting our head in the sand and trying to 243 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:22,440 Speaker 1: ignore that we don't have to do better as a 244 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:24,720 Speaker 1: team collectively, all across the board, in all three phases. 245 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 1: So we're working every day on finding better ways to 246 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,080 Speaker 1: do that, and our guys are working hard, you know, 247 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,320 Speaker 1: and I think there's been a lot of progress made. 248 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,200 Speaker 1: But like I tell the players all time, you know, 249 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,319 Speaker 1: the results are what the results are. You know, we 250 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 1: can get better throwing a weekly basis. We do a 251 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 1: lot of good football within the game, but when you 252 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:41,720 Speaker 1: don't win the game, it's gonna be the bad football 253 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 1: that's highlighted and that's way it should be, because that's 254 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 1: what we're paid for. And just regarding h John Harbaugh, 255 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,679 Speaker 1: what is your respect level for him as a kind 256 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:54,240 Speaker 1: of fellow guy with special teams background, and his team's 257 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 1: always are very physical, and what's the importance of kind 258 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 1: of matching that or and even setting a trone with 259 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:04,200 Speaker 1: that on Sunday in your in your mind? Well, my 260 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 1: respect love for him as a coach is extremely high. 261 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 1: And I don't care if it's special teams coach, head coach, 262 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,200 Speaker 1: defensive backs coach. He's just a very good coach. His 263 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 1: players are always very well prepared, always played with a 264 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 1: high urgency. They always played very physical and that's been 265 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,560 Speaker 1: a trademark since he's been down there. And you know 266 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:20,679 Speaker 1: his teams. You play the Baltimore Ravens, you always know 267 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:22,360 Speaker 1: you're going in and you have to go ahead and 268 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 1: play a physical brand of football. You can't beat the 269 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 1: Ravens with finesse. That's not the way it is. So 270 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 1: you've got to be able to play these guys and 271 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 1: try to match him in the run game. You gotta 272 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:32,680 Speaker 1: be able to make plays in the passing game on 273 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:34,480 Speaker 1: both sides of the ball, and you've got to be 274 00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 1: ready to cover kicks because they've got dynamic returners and 275 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:38,600 Speaker 1: they can make plays at all points.
