Didn't figure most of the things 27 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:20,560 Speaker 5: I say last night they're gonna really remember. So there'll 28 00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 5: be a lot of things that we'll have to focus on, 29 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,200 Speaker 5: and we'll have to do the things that we've done 30 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 5: up until this point and just do them a little 31 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,880 Speaker 5: bit better. And I don't think you can you know, 32 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,679 Speaker 5: jerk the wheel, and you know, we just have to 33 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:36,039 Speaker 5: keep doing the things that we've been doing, do them 34 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,720 Speaker 5: a little better. Get special teams to get us a play. 35 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:43,639 Speaker 5: You'll try to help field position. But like you mentioned, 36 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,679 Speaker 5: it's all the little things that could end up turning 37 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 5: the tide here with a turnover or a situation play 38 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,400 Speaker 5: at the end of the half, anything like that. 39 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 4: Do you feel like for you then, do you feel like, 40 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 4: all right, this being my second go around as a 41 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 4: head coaching through the post season, other things that maybe 42 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 4: I'm going to do a little bit different in years past. 43 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 5: No, not other than try to win. I mean, no, man, 44 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 5: what what what? There's no secret formula we'll have to prepare. 45 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,079 Speaker 5: We'll have to get to know these guys. It's a 46 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 5: team that we don't know. It's one that we're not 47 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 5: familiar with. You know, they probably would they played some 48 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 5: of these guys last year. You know, we'll just again, 49 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:30,639 Speaker 5: we'll just have to get started with our preparation. We're 50 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 5: on a normal schedule. We didn't have to move anything 51 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 5: up to Tuesday. 52 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 3: We were talking about this earlier. 53 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:41,800 Speaker 2: They were talking postgame about you in in Tennessee and 54 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:43,919 Speaker 2: that you were known as a bit of a hard 55 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:49,680 Speaker 2: ass and that maybe you adjusted kind of your approach 56 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 2: to coaching this year. 57 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 3: Did you was that intentional? Did you do that? Do 58 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:54,960 Speaker 3: you feel like you're. 59 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,920 Speaker 1: You'd have to ask the people in Tennessee. I don't know. Yeah, 60 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 1: I tried to authentic. I try to be as honest 61 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 1: as I can with the players. 62 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,920 Speaker 5: I try to make a connection with them, try to 63 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 5: put good people around him. But you know, I don't 64 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 5: I've had good connections, and I try to hold people 65 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:18,799 Speaker 5: accountable and still coach them and teach them and care 66 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,640 Speaker 5: about them the same way, and probably had better moments 67 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 5: than others, you know. 68 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 1: There, I think we all kind of have have better 69 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 1: moments than others. 70 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 5: And I just I think the thing I keep going 71 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 5: back to is just not taking these opportunities for granted. 72 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 1: You know, when you don't have something in you aren't 73 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 1: you know, you. 74 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 5: Don't have the ability to play, You get as a player, 75 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 5: you get released or whatever. As a coach, you get 76 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 5: let go. I think you value the next opportunity. 77 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 6: First three touchdown game from Ramondre Stevenson in his career. 78 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 6: When you go back to the beginning of the season, 79 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 6: people wanted to ship him out of town. Every time 80 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 6: we asked you about him. You are so supportive and 81 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 6: you continued to play him even though a lot of 82 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 6: people said, don't to see the narrative change. 83 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 1: A oneint eighty for. 84 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 6: Him, is that the work that he's put in, the 85 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 6: support that you've given him, or the coaching staff that 86 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:10,119 Speaker 6: you have around him. 87 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 5: I think that that's again, we always come back to 88 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:17,040 Speaker 5: these questions and it always falls on the player ultimately 89 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 5: that they're responsible for their success, which I nobody's happier 90 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 5: for Remandre or anybody in our player our team that 91 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 5: has makes plays or improves. I know the coaching staff 92 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 5: works extremely hard on these things and the details, and 93 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,560 Speaker 5: it was great to see him go out and have 94 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 5: success and be excited and his mom was there, and you. 95 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,599 Speaker 1: Know, those are those are fun things. It's it's why 96 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 1: you coach. 97 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 5: But you know, when a player has success, there's going 98 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 5: to be some teaching and some coaching that that helped. 99 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:50,920 Speaker 1: But the large majority of that is going to fall 100 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 1: in the. 101 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:55,040 Speaker 4: Player, but I think the one thing that it is 102 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 4: falling on the play, but it's also the coach giving 103 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 4: him another opportunity and not banishing him to the gulag 104 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 4: or the doghouse. 105 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:04,920 Speaker 7: And I've been around coaches like that. 106 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 1: You have how do you banished? 107 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:07,360 Speaker 3: Many times? 108 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:07,599 Speaker 8: Right? 109 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:11,039 Speaker 1: I believe me. 110 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 4: I'm talking about how do you walk that fine line 111 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,600 Speaker 4: of being like, Okay, guys made a couple of mistakes, 112 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,719 Speaker 4: you know, similar mistakes where he's from the ball put 113 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 4: it on, but we're still going to give him a 114 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 4: little bit of a leash versus see you Leada. 115 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 5: You know, I guess you guys would just have to 116 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,719 Speaker 5: go through those experiences and you know, try to figure 117 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:33,840 Speaker 5: out what's best for the team. 118 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:35,840 Speaker 1: That's that's how I try to do well on that. 119 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 9: You know, you have been a very strong, you know, 120 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,719 Speaker 9: players coach so to speak, and being very protective and 121 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 9: you know, I think publicly taking blame and defending your 122 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 9: players most cases. When you were asked about the off 123 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 9: the field stuff with Steph Diggs and Barmore, obviously not 124 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 9: getting into the specifics of the allegations, you said you 125 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,359 Speaker 9: weren't disappointed, which was just it hit me. I was 126 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,840 Speaker 9: shocked when you said that. Can you give me a 127 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 9: little bit background about why. I mean that would seem 128 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 9: to be disappointing to any coach that your players are 129 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 9: in those situations. 130 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 5: No, we're just trying to get ready for this week 131 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 5: and focus and do our best. You can see that 132 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 5: the team is able to handle, you know, distractions, it's 133 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 5: hard to eliminate them. You know about how you handle 134 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 5: the distractions whatever those may be. 135 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,239 Speaker 9: But if the distractions are brought on by those players, 136 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 9: wouldn't that be disappointing? 137 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,360 Speaker 1: Well, those things that happen every day. 138 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 5: We have a family, we have a team, and you 139 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,839 Speaker 5: know we're going to try to, you know, do our 140 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 5: best here to support each and every one of them 141 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 5: what they need and also get. 142 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 1: Ready for the Chargers. 143 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 6: Diggs was all obviously very emotional after the game yesterday, 144 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 6: hitting that thousand yard mark. For that to come off 145 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,919 Speaker 6: of a week that he's had but also an ACL injury, Like, 146 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 6: how impressive is that for him to be able to 147 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 6: handle everything going around, quiet the noise and be able 148 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 6: to hit that milestone again. 149 00:06:56,520 --> 00:07:01,159 Speaker 5: These guys are focused and I appreciate that they you know, 150 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,280 Speaker 5: with older players, they get a routine, and I appreciate, 151 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,240 Speaker 5: you know, Steph has a routine. I think it was 152 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 5: cool to see Matt Collins talk about the routine and 153 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:12,680 Speaker 5: chiz that he helped him create. And then you know, 154 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 5: hopefully we can have these little pockets of guys. 155 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 1: And again, we have a leadership committee and. 156 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 5: I think there's probably twelve of twelve guys on that 157 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 5: and there's you know, position groups are represented, and I 158 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 5: just asked each of them. I said, between you guys 159 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 5: and me, if we can all reach four other people 160 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,560 Speaker 5: or players, we'll have the whole team canvas. Right, So 161 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 5: hopefully we can you know, find four or five guys 162 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 5: that either hopefully out of our position group and try 163 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 5: to spread that out, to spread the message and the 164 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 5: leadership and you know, but I think that's what Diggs 165 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:49,840 Speaker 5: has done, is is tried to be a great leader 166 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:56,240 Speaker 5: and also create a routine and stay motivated each and 167 00:07:56,280 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 5: every week. Some weeks there's ten targets and there's nine catches. 168 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,560 Speaker 5: In other weeks there's you know, three targets and three catches, 169 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 5: and so that's that's been really good to see. We've 170 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 5: talked about that receiver room. They're all trying to take 171 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 5: advantage of the opportunities and spread the ball round big 172 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 5: incentive Tove. 173 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 2: Yesterday Courtney brought it up, but digs Hunter Henry, is 174 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 2: that my mind goes through. Is that one payment direct deposit, 175 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 2: like the five grand? Like, how does that work? I 176 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 2: don't know that right in the immediately. 177 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 8: I'm not cutting the checks, cutting the checks I would 178 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 8: be on this show. How I was cutting the checksentive 179 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 8: was one. 180 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 1: I had a lot of plan. I thought they paid me. 181 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,679 Speaker 9: I'm just curious because obviously you've won three Super Bowls 182 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:50,720 Speaker 9: as a player for this team, you're entering the playoffs 183 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 9: on it. But the team that doesn't have a lot 184 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 9: of playoff experience, how much do you bring up or 185 00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 9: lean on your experience as a linebacker in these games 186 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 9: as opposed to entering it just does the coach? 187 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:04,200 Speaker 5: I think I'll just try to draw on all the 188 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 5: different experiences and try to put together a message. I 189 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:08,800 Speaker 5: don't want to be like, well, when I played or 190 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:09,720 Speaker 5: when WIGGI played. 191 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,440 Speaker 1: I just I do try to stay away from that. 192 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 5: I know they they give me a hard time about that, 193 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:19,320 Speaker 5: but I think just trying to formulate. You know, some 194 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 5: of the attention to detail and how you're just not 195 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,960 Speaker 5: really sure what play. You know, maybe that block field 196 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:26,760 Speaker 5: goal yesterday could have been in the play that's going 197 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 5: to make the difference, or the end of the game, 198 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 5: or the kick at the end of the half. 199 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:32,959 Speaker 1: You know, those are the. 200 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:36,439 Speaker 5: Things that we have to talk about and not you know, 201 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:40,200 Speaker 5: maybe my own personal experience as a player, but trying 202 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 5: to mold it and shape it in one that they'll 203 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,320 Speaker 5: they'll it'll resonate and how it hits their mind and 204 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:50,400 Speaker 5: helps them understand the importance of each and every. 205 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 1: Play as a player. 206 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,680 Speaker 9: Maybe was there anything that Belichick did that you entered 207 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 9: a game feeling like we have an edge here. You know, 208 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 9: we've been prepared this way. I know that Martz or 209 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:03,720 Speaker 9: Cower or someone else is not going to have his 210 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:05,680 Speaker 9: team as ready as we are going into this game 211 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:06,200 Speaker 9: on Sunday. 212 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,040 Speaker 1: I'm sure that that was the case. I just don't 213 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 1: really recall specifics, but I'm sure. 214 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 5: I mean, we always felt like we were prepared, whatever 215 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 5: that was situationally or you know, maybe from a personnel 216 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 5: group or scheme. You know, we always felt prepared, but 217 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:32,960 Speaker 5: it's hard to just remember and draw on the specific examples. 218 00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:35,000 Speaker 3: Looking ahead to Sunday night. What are the challenges that 219 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:36,720 Speaker 3: this team presents. 220 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:39,440 Speaker 5: Well, this is a this is a big this is 221 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 5: a physical football team with you know, they're they're a 222 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 5: big football team. Big lineman, they got a big defensive 223 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 5: lineman that plays full back. And the defense is is good. 224 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:54,839 Speaker 5: They play a good, very good style of football defensively, 225 00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:58,240 Speaker 5: they they make it hard on you. A bunch of 226 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 5: different mixed quarters covered is the quarterback is as good 227 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 5: as anybody. Can scramble, it's tough, can make the throws, 228 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 5: so it's good big receivers. So it'll be a big 229 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 5: challenge to get going on these guys. And you know, 230 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 5: like I said, learn who they are and try to 231 00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:18,560 Speaker 5: put a plan together. 232 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 7: You talk about your leadership group and this team's identity. 233 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:25,240 Speaker 4: The one thing that you know, at least from Afar 234 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,200 Speaker 4: that I look at and how grateful are you as 235 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 4: a coach that you do have a team where it's 236 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 4: about the team goal and not the person or the 237 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,959 Speaker 4: individual goal of the player. 238 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,600 Speaker 7: That might be more important at times. 239 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 4: How grateful are you that you're able to get this 240 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:47,200 Speaker 4: team to buy into that. 241 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 5: Well, it's just that's a fine line, right because without production, 242 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 5: you know, we're not going. 243 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 1: To be any guns. 244 00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:57,600 Speaker 5: So it's it's just getting them to talked about chasing 245 00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 5: wins and not plays. And if we make the right 246 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,680 Speaker 5: place in order for us to win, you'll have made 247 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:04,520 Speaker 5: every play that you needed to make as. 248 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:05,679 Speaker 1: Opposed to chasing plays. 249 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 5: Hey should I run this route how I think I 250 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:11,959 Speaker 5: should run it, or how the. 251 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 1: Offensive play needs me to run it? 252 00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 5: Or hey, should I do this on defense because I 253 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,600 Speaker 5: think it may help me, or hey, I've got to 254 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 5: do this on defense because it is going to be 255 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:27,719 Speaker 5: helpful in the play. So that was the mindset of 256 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,120 Speaker 5: a few weeks ago, and I feel like we've tried 257 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 5: to carry it over and I think you've seen that 258 00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 5: that in turn, the right plays are the ones that 259 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 5: are going to help us win. 260 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 2: Speaking of running, turn the motor on yesterday to get 261 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:43,040 Speaker 2: down the sideline, call that time out. 262 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 5: You still got it waiting for that planner fash to tear. 263 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:52,160 Speaker 5: So I cannot get it to tear. 264 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 3: No, you can't get it that happen. 265 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,319 Speaker 5: We don't want that tear, yes, because they say that's 266 00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:58,480 Speaker 5: the only way it feels better. 267 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:00,840 Speaker 1: That sounds terrible, right. 268 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:02,960 Speaker 2: It does, But it can't feel as bad as Yeah, 269 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 2: why don't you go for the orthopedics like, uh, I don't. 270 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:09,200 Speaker 3: Don't look at me like I'm wearing orthopedics. 271 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:12,720 Speaker 9: I mean, great guys, the slip on sketchers, Yeah, stuff 272 00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 9: to sprint at force once. 273 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 3: I mean, I'm not spreading anywhere clearly. So I'm impressed 274 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:18,559 Speaker 3: by it every time I see you do it. 275 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:23,360 Speaker 2: And then obviously, uh, a little bit bothered, I guess 276 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 2: by the OPI call when it came to Hunter Henry. 277 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 5: Uh, we had talked about that. 278 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 1: In practice. I think we just have to do a 279 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 1: really good job of. 280 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 5: You know, I think when you get two hands on, 281 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:39,200 Speaker 5: whether that guy's pressed or not, these are the things 282 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,559 Speaker 5: that they're looking for, and so they're looking for the mechanics, 283 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 5: and I just think that he has to have his 284 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:47,920 Speaker 5: outside arm free or inside arm, whichever way. So I 285 00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 5: think you run the risk of when you have both 286 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,440 Speaker 5: hands on the guy, even though he's creating contact with you. 287 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,440 Speaker 5: I think that's they're gonna probably look at those. 288 00:13:58,040 --> 00:13:59,720 Speaker 6: It was great to have Will Campbell back yesterday. 289 00:13:59,760 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 4: I know. 290 00:13:59,920 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 6: I after the game, he said he thought he played well. 291 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 6: He after the game said he never wants to play 292 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:07,439 Speaker 6: for another coach. Besides you, I know that you put 293 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:10,240 Speaker 6: everything on the players, but the impact that you've made 294 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:12,960 Speaker 6: in the locker room, do you feel that gravity that 295 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 6: these players are really not just playing for themselves but 296 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:16,960 Speaker 6: playing for you? 297 00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 1: Well, I hope so. I mean I enjoyed coaching them. 298 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:23,560 Speaker 5: I do, and I try to again, just come in 299 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 5: every day, be consistent. You know, they probably get tired 300 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 5: of me after a while, but that's okay. I enjoyed 301 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:38,000 Speaker 5: the group. I enjoy coaching them. I enjoy watching them improve. 302 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 5: I enjoy watching them come together. You know, they have 303 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 5: their little inside jokes, and if they're making fun of me, 304 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 5: then I'm glad that they're at. 305 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,120 Speaker 1: Least paying attention and they're listening in the meetings. 306 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,760 Speaker 5: And you know, so there's a good banter that we 307 00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 5: have and a good workflow that we have. 308 00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:57,160 Speaker 9: Is Drake made the most Valuable player in the NFL 309 00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 9: this year? 310 00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 1: Yes?
