Speaker 1: Welcome to the Ozone Podcast, presented by by Star Credit

2
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 1: with Jaguars senior writer John Osan. All Right, welcome to

3
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:21,680
Speaker 1: this week's Ozone podcast. The guests today. I always say

4
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:23,759
Speaker 1: I'm excited about it, but I have been hoping to

5
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 1: have Christian Kirk on the podcast for a while. Uh.

6
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 1: He's very good in this situation off slide insight. I

7
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:33,200
Speaker 1: think this is a good week to talk to Christian Kirk. Christian,

8
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 1: first of all, thanks for doing this, Thanks for having

9
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:39,840
Speaker 1: UH and obviously UH a three game losing streak. I'll

10
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 1: start off with that, because you're a veteran guy who

11
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 1: knows how to handle things. Um, what is the tone

12
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:49,239
Speaker 1: in the locker room and what are you saying to

13
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:52,520
Speaker 1: younger teammates? Well, you know, first to kind of start off,

14
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 1: what I'm saying to younger teammates is it's a long season.

15
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 1: You know, there's seventeen games now, and you know when

16
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 1: you hear are seventeen games like, that's pretty long. But

17
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: you know when you're doing it and you're preparing weekend

18
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 1: and week out, it's a long season. You've got guys

19
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 1: that come from college, you know, it's almost two college

20
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,199
Speaker 1: football seasons if you count in preseason as well, so

21
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,639
Speaker 1: there's still a lot of opportunity and still this early

22
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 1: into the season, you can make your season however you

23
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 1: want to make it. Um. You know, I came from

24
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,680
Speaker 1: a team where you know, we started eight no and

25
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 1: we were scratching and crawling to you know, clinch at

26
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 1: the playoffs at the end, and so it can flip

27
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: that quickly. You can go on win streaks and you know,

28
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 1: you can kind of dictate your future. And so I think,

29
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:38,559
Speaker 1: you know, with the leadership that we have in our room,

30
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: in our in our locker room is you know, there's

31
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,479
Speaker 1: no panicking there, there's no time to hit the panic button.

32
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 1: There's no here we go again. You know, there's there's

33
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 1: none of that. And you know, we all know we

34
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 1: have a clean slate, and you know, this is a

35
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: different team and a different culture, and so right now

36
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 1: we're just looking to get back on track. And we

37
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: know we've been in every single game that we've lost,

38
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 1: we've had the ball, you know, and in each time

39
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 1: to you know, go down to score and give ourselves

40
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: a chance to win. So it's just executing and being

41
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: the best that we can be. What is it that

42
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:15,679
Speaker 1: you like about this team that you think will make

43
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: it different in past Jack teams. And now you haven't

44
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 1: been around him, but you guys have talked this is

45
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: not what it was moving forward. What is it about

46
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: this team that you like? I think it's the belief obviously,

47
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: and you know Doug and what he has in store

48
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 1: for us and his plan and you know his beliefs

49
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 1: and everybody's bought into what we're trying to do here.

50
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 1: It's the belief in one another. And you know the

51
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 1: way that guys practice, whether it's practice squad guys or

52
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: you know guys that take you know, multiple reps um

53
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: each and every period that are really you know, busting

54
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: their butts trying to make it as close as they

55
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 1: can on Sunday. The way the the amount of you know,

56
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:00,079
Speaker 1: time and effort that goes into preparation to make so

57
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: that we're at our best, you know, from the coaching

58
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 1: staff and the players, I think is what's going to

59
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 1: help us now and you know, for the future. And

60
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 1: those are all things and you know when you see

61
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: it on Sunday you turn on the tape. I mean,

62
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 1: there's not like we're lacking toughness or effort or you know,

63
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: pride and what we do. You know, guys are battling,

64
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 1: playing and play out and so when you see that,

65
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: that is you know, that's that's good, that's you know,

66
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 1: you you want to see that immediately because then all

67
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: the other stuff you just got to clean that up.

68
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 1: You know, that's just coaching and just attention to detail.

69
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: But you know you can't coach all the other intangibles.

70
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: And we have all that And Doug and Trevor and

71
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: other teammates have talked about that was the thing that

72
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: they noticed and that first struck them about you and

73
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: you came in, we necessarily what you said. It was

74
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: how you went about things, Um, how you approach practice.

75
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: Was that A. I know, it's the way you are.

76
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 1: But when you came in trying to stab yourself as

77
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: a leader, did you tell yourself that's the way to

78
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 1: do it in terms of I'm just gonna be who

79
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 1: I am. I'm gonna show what I'm about, uh or

80
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: is that just what you're about? I guess both. Yeah, No,

81
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: I think it kind of goes hand in hand. You know,

82
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: that's that's who I am. Um, that's what I'm about.

83
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 1: Whenever I step in the building, it's all business, and

84
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 1: especially when we get on the field. UM, I'm working

85
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: as hard as I can. And uh, you know, I

86
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:26,599
Speaker 1: know there's no such thing as perfect, but I always

87
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: say I'm always chasing perfection, you know, especially in practice. Um,

88
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,719
Speaker 1: And so you know I'm I'm upset when you know

89
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 1: there's a bad play. Um, you know, ball gets tipped,

90
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:37,559
Speaker 1: you know, if it's it's on me. And my route

91
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: depth came out too early. You know, those are all

92
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: things that I try to make perfect. So then on Sunday, Um,

93
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: you know, I don't even have to think about it.

94
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 1: And you know I'm not a raw, raw guy anyways. UM.

95
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 1: You know I will lead by you know, going to

96
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 1: guys and you know, speaking with them individually and just

97
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,159
Speaker 1: you know, going about you know how I how I

98
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 1: like to prepare and you know, you know my thing

99
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: is always you know, I'm I'm always gonna do what

100
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 1: the other guy isn't doing. And so I'm always gonna

101
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 1: try to be you know, one step ahead and you know,

102
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,039
Speaker 1: doing more. I feel like, you know, always separates myself.

103
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: So I just you know, kind of go about my

104
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: my business and you know, try to you know, teach guy,

105
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: especially in our room, just how to be true pros.

106
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: Is that a thing that Christian Kirk was born with

107
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: or did you have to learn that? Has that been

108
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 1: developed over time in the NFL, etcetera. Um, you know

109
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 1: my dad's military. Um come from a military family. Uh

110
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,599
Speaker 1: So attention to detail is you know something that not

111
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,719
Speaker 1: born with driven into Yeah. I don't think there was

112
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:40,679
Speaker 1: any other way I was going to operate. My life

113
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: was um, you know, not being you know, I had

114
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 1: a high level of attention to detail. And so, you know,

115
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 1: my parents always taught me that, you know, if you

116
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 1: wanted anything, you had to work for and you had

117
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:53,599
Speaker 1: to work harder than the other person that wants the

118
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,119
Speaker 1: same thing that you have. And so, you know, learning

119
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 1: that at an early age and then obviously with some

120
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: of the you know, past teams that I've had, you know,

121
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,160
Speaker 1: within the NFL and throughout college and you know, just

122
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,720
Speaker 1: seeing how to operate as a professional but also being smart.

123
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:09,720
Speaker 1: You know that goes hand in hand because you can't

124
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 1: go out there and run yourself into the ground and

125
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,919
Speaker 1: you know you're you're hurting on Sunday. You know, you

126
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,599
Speaker 1: gotta be smart and keep yourself fresh. So I would

127
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 1: say you know it's it's definitely been instilled from an

128
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: early age. You kind of led me to and I

129
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,039
Speaker 1: know you've talked a lot about it, but it's fascinating.

130
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:29,919
Speaker 1: You played with so many great players in Arizona, but

131
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: maybe Fitzgerald his approach may have had the biggest influence

132
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 1: on you. Is that fair or not? No, Um, Larry

133
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 1: was you know, my idol growing up. You know in Arizona,

134
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 1: every young Arizona kid that played football had a Larry

135
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 1: Fitzgerald jersey. You know, I was a fan of Larry Fitzgerald.

136
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 1: I got pictures of me at his football camp when

137
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: I was five six years old, and so, um, you know,

138
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:57,039
Speaker 1: becoming his teammate and really just sitting back and you know,

139
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 1: just um being able to analyze everything that he did

140
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 1: on and off the field, you know definitely helped. And

141
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,479
Speaker 1: because he was talent, but his approach is what made

142
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 1: him him, right, Yeah, I mean you're seventeen, his last

143
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 1: year US together. He didn't you practice Wednesday, practice Thursday,

144
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 1: practice Friday. You know, and when you're thirty seven, thirty

145
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 1: eight years old and you're still doing that, Um, that's

146
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 1: impressive and so will you be as the question I hope. So,

147
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 1: you know, I hope so that's you know, that's my plan.

148
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: I hope to be that guy being able to pass

149
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 1: down knowledge and just all the things that he did

150
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 1: for you know, me and you know all the other

151
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 1: young guys that were in that room as well, just

152
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 1: you know, kind of put us under his wing and

153
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 1: taught us how to work, you know, in the off season,

154
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 1: on the bye week, you know, after a game, getting

155
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 1: in the cold tub, just little things like that. So definitely, um,

156
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 1: you know, really helped me a lot. Is that what

157
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: you're trying to sort of? I think it's hard to

158
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 1: force feed that. I mean, you know that you know

159
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 1: what it takes. You're on a young team with guys

160
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 1: trying to learn the league. Is it tough to sort

161
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 1: of fast track everybody into approach and that if you

162
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: follow me? Or do you just have to sort of

163
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 1: lead by example and just gradually bring these guys along. Yeah,

164
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: you can't fast track it because it also, um you

165
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 1: have to take an account not everybody wants the same

166
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 1: thing out of playing, you know, in the NFL. Um

167
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 1: some guys just enjoy you know, being in the NFL,

168
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 1: being a guy being able to put on a Jersey

169
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 1: on Sunday and going out there and playing a couple

170
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 1: of snaps. Um, And that's not the case for me. Um.

171
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 1: I don't play football to be average. I play football

172
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 1: to be a great and to be great at what

173
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,680
Speaker 1: I do. That's what drives me. Um. You know, there's

174
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 1: so much passion and so much hunger to be great,

175
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 1: and so you know, you can't want that for somebody else. Now,

176
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:53,079
Speaker 1: if somebody comes to you and says that, and they

177
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 1: show it to you, then it's easier to be able

178
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 1: to help fast track that process because you can kind

179
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: of give them those two is. But if somebody's just

180
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 1: interested in being another guy, then you know, you look

181
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 1: that that's more than fine. You know, there's there's plenty

182
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 1: of guys that do that, and you just let them

183
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 1: do their thing. And you know, I said that they'd

184
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 1: be good teammates and just be you know, the best

185
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 1: that they can be, Um, that they have in their minds.

186
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 1: But you know, I don't think you can force somebody

187
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 1: to to you know, you can't want it for them.

188
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:22,959
Speaker 1: I assume that's part of the click with Trevor is

189
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 1: that he's another one of those guys. And like I said,

190
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 1: it kind of goes back to you're talking about the

191
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 1: time and effort that goes into preparation week and a

192
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 1: week out. You know, he's here late, Um, you know,

193
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 1: every single day, watching film, you know, cut ups, you know,

194
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 1: previous games of you know, what we've done, what we

195
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 1: haven't done, what they've done, and so um, you know,

196
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 1: he just has such a mature approach and you know

197
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,959
Speaker 1: personality that you know, it all makes sense of why

198
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 1: he's had so much success. Was it an immediate click

199
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:55,680
Speaker 1: with him for you? And uh, I guess tell me

200
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 1: about y'all's relationship on and off the field, because it

201
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: seems to be developing pretty quickly. Yeah, it is pretty immediate.

202
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 1: You know we're both kind of laid back, Um, you know, calmer,

203
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 1: cooler guys and uh, kind of the same you know personality,

204
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 1: and so uh he was here the day that I

205
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 1: came and signed. Um we were able to you know,

206
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 1: kind of chop it up a little bit then. And

207
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 1: then um, once I got here for O, T, A

208
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 1: S and whatnot, spend a lot of time you know,

209
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 1: at the golf course and you know, hanging out and

210
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 1: you know, texting back and forth. You know, my fiance

211
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 1: and his wife are really good friends now. So you know,

212
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 1: whether it's going out to dinner and just doing stuff

213
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,079
Speaker 1: in social settings to be able to grow that relationship.

214
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,079
Speaker 1: And there's a lot of you know, common similarities there

215
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 1: and so it's it's been able to grow super fast.

216
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 1: And you know, then we get on the field and

217
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 1: you know, just being able to talk you know, football stuff.

218
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 1: You know that that line of communication, it just makes it,

219
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 1: you know, that much easier. Tell me about um. Doug

220
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 1: always talks about this a lot. With a young quarterback

221
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: learning a new offense. You've been around long enough to

222
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: know how difficult all that is, and he seems to

223
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 1: be learning it at a very high rate, fast level.

224
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 1: I How difficult is that and how is that going

225
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 1: for the first year? Maybe him in the entire offense

226
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 1: getting used to a new scheme. Yeah, you know, and

227
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: it's you know, with what he went through last year

228
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: is a little bit of anomaly and you know the

229
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 1: amount of I guess coaching and you know knowledge that

230
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 1: he was able to pick up is you kind of

231
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,840
Speaker 1: have to flush it and then start over this year,

232
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 1: and so um, you can almost say that he's like

233
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:35,959
Speaker 1: halfway into it, you know, a second rookie year. And

234
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 1: you know, this scheme is they've made it very easy

235
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 1: for us to learn, but also has a lot of

236
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 1: intricacies and you know, they do put a lot on him,

237
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 1: you know, mentally, and so for him to be able

238
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 1: to digest that. And you know, the more we go up,

239
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 1: you know, throughout the year and see more defenses, then

240
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 1: you know, as time grows and you know we all age,

241
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: you know, within this system, it'll be easier to kind

242
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 1: of transition and know, you know what we're looking for

243
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 1: on each and every play. And so I thought, I

244
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 1: think he's done a great job so far, and I

245
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,599
Speaker 1: think he's just gonna only keep on getting better. I

246
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 1: have two final things in this section, close games. How

247
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 1: do you start winning? Finish? Um? You finished in the

248
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:19,320
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, um, and you have to start playing complimentary football.

249
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 1: Can't be you know, defense has a great game, offense

250
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 1: has a bad game, Special teams has a good game.

251
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 1: You know, it has to be all three together. And

252
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: so that's the key for us is playing complimentary football

253
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 1: and finishing You even a tune four. You like where

254
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:36,079
Speaker 1: this team's at, don't you. I Mean, like I said,

255
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,319
Speaker 1: all of our games that we've lost, we've had the ball,

256
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 1: um with the chance to go put ourselves either in

257
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 1: the lead or to win the game. And so that's

258
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,079
Speaker 1: all you can really ask for Um, whether you convert

259
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 1: or not, at least we're giving our social an opportunity.

260
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 1: Haven't been blown out, haven't been out of any any

261
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 1: game this year, and you know we've played some good teams.

262
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:54,719
Speaker 1: But you know, we always say at the end of

263
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 1: the day, it's it's about us, and it's always gonna

264
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 1: be on us. And so you know, most of those

265
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 1: games you can see we're d of shooting ourselves in

266
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 1: the foot. And then all the two wins that we have,

267
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 1: we show the type of football that we can be.

268
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 1: We can play and that's dominant football. So I'm just

269
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,560
Speaker 1: looking to find that. I get back to it. The

270
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 1: final thing we do on this and we'll get you

271
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 1: out of here quickly. It's called the ozone five. It's

272
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 1: very quick. Questions. I have some fun with you, Christian Kirk.
