1 00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:07,520 Speaker 1: As we lost, we owned it. You know, we made 2 00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:12,000 Speaker 1: some strides, we didn't make enough strides. Um from where 3 00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,040 Speaker 1: we came from. We got better, we got a long 4 00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:16,760 Speaker 1: way to go. It should stay, I know, it should 5 00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:19,840 Speaker 1: help us propelling the next year, understanding what we gotta 6 00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:22,840 Speaker 1: do and work harder and win more games. Ten and 7 00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:25,360 Speaker 1: six on the surface is an okay record, but it's 8 00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:27,760 Speaker 1: not enough to get in obviously, our goals to get 9 00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:29,560 Speaker 1: in the playoffs, win the super Bowl. So we didn't 10 00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:32,160 Speaker 1: get that accompassed. But we have a lot of things 11 00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:33,839 Speaker 1: to grow off of and learn from and we'll go 12 00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:38,880 Speaker 1: from there. I do a surgery yet, what's the prop 13 00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:42,320 Speaker 1: didn't have surgery yet. He'll get surgery in about a 14 00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 1: week or less, you know when his recovery I'm not 15 00:00:48,840 --> 00:01:01,520 Speaker 1: sure yet. Know what are the last yesterday? I mean 16 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,280 Speaker 1: lost the game. You understand that right after the game. 17 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 1: I can see the game pretty good. I understand the 18 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,520 Speaker 1: things that went wrong within the game and after that 19 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,200 Speaker 1: and kind of detox and get exit interviews ready and 20 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 1: kind of go from there and build up and get 21 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,279 Speaker 1: together with the staff after this and go over things 22 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 1: for the next couple of weeks and kind of move 23 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 1: off and you reflect, you get some alone time, which 24 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,240 Speaker 1: I haven't yet. Can you try to build from there? 25 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,360 Speaker 1: Were you surprised when we looked at some of the 26 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,960 Speaker 1: mistakes you guys made to be surprised by bus mistakes 27 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,960 Speaker 1: more function of what Buffalo did or it got to 28 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 1: you guys for some of those errors. I mean Buffalo 29 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 1: for us on eras and we made some errors on 30 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,440 Speaker 1: our own that was self inflicting. So when you get 31 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 1: you can't play against us and we can't play against 32 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 1: them at the same time, it's like playing against two 33 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 1: different teams. So we beat ourselves and they made some 34 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 1: plays to help us beat ourselves too. So you were 35 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 1: on the early part of the game offensively particularly, do 36 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 1: you know what what was it when you guys flat 37 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 1: was wool was going on the first fourth series of 38 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:03,960 Speaker 1: offense and just couldn't we're flat. We weren't clicking. You know, 39 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 1: there was a play here and to play there. There 40 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 1: were a bunch of almost but almost doesn't count and 41 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 1: we just didn't make enough play or something like that. 42 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 1: A few times this here, the slow starts were something 43 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 1: you guys play really solid and somebody who's real ably 44 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:18,639 Speaker 1: come back and pull it out. The fourth quarter or 45 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 1: a second around. Is there something you can put your 46 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:24,120 Speaker 1: figure on that that caused that problem is here? I 47 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 1: mean I wish I could. We're gonna study it as 48 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 1: a staff and we're gonna go over and try to 49 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,359 Speaker 1: put a thing on it. But at this point, right now, 50 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 1: I can tell you. I can't tell you that tell 51 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,799 Speaker 1: your offense only brand the ball, the running backs foot times. 52 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 1: You know, on a day when the winds were pretty 53 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 1: stiff up there, there's a reason for that kind of 54 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 1: offensive games. No, not really. You know the way they 55 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,079 Speaker 1: stacked the box and do some things that talk this 56 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,639 Speaker 1: out of some things we have audibles. Well, well the 57 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,800 Speaker 1: football maybe we could have run it more and you know, 58 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 1: maybe we could not hindsight because were you the fact 59 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 1: that the really started. Were you trying to manage my 60 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 1: reas carries throughout the course of the game, and why 61 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 1: not start him and you know when he gets h Well, 62 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 1: we don't want the contingency because we've been down to 63 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 1: one back, so we I was just started in the 64 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,239 Speaker 1: package that we had, like went out there, really got 65 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,080 Speaker 1: some number of share of plays. He had a store 66 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 1: of need, but nothing that kept him out of the game. 67 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 1: It's just the one two punts and then the package 68 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,920 Speaker 1: that we had going into the game. You mentioned this 69 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 1: yesterday about playing zone, you know with Blagins, you know, 70 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 1: the vertical threat. White and Darrell Will alluded to this 71 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 1: today that you guys have been playing more zone in 72 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 1: recent weeks. Why specifically in this games that are using them? 73 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 1: You know, the guys were press cover quarters. It's good 74 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 1: at using in that way. Why White muze, We played 75 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 1: a bunch of man in this game as well, since 76 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 1: that the zone plays. They caught some plays on us 77 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 1: that they hit. We played just as much man as 78 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 1: we did zone in this ball game. You know, sometimes 79 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 1: we get caught sometimes the plagues and fake underneath. Guys 80 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 1: got to get back and get there. But we played 81 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 1: a bunch of man. TOI, what's your revaluation um over 82 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 1: the course of the season about the rat this, Like 83 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 1: I said, he's a good corner that other main good 84 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 1: corners don't get beat and don't have bad games. But 85 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 1: they have some bad games. But I still think the 86 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: same and that that always Gay. He's a good player. 87 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 1: It's tough, he's smart, he works hard, and he's athletic 88 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:18,480 Speaker 1: and we're glad to have him back. You could do 89 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 1: it over here? Would you give it him help? Unwatkids? 90 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,920 Speaker 1: Would you try to call the Rockings differently? We lost 91 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 1: the game. I don't reflect back on what I could 92 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 1: and couldn't do over again. Make the decisions and you 93 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 1: go with it. But we covered them, Okay. We missed 94 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,280 Speaker 1: some players, We missed some underneath drops, and he made 95 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 1: some players as a good player. You'll have to do 96 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 1: this off season. And like you said before, time wins 97 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 1: is Obviously he's a previoud season. But given who's upper 98 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 1: free agency and given some of the lath how much 99 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,280 Speaker 1: work is gonna have to happen this off season. It's 100 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:54,600 Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of work. You know, the way 101 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:58,119 Speaker 1: teams are nowadays, we're free agents and draft and people 102 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,120 Speaker 1: getting hurt. You don't have a new team every year. Here, 103 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 1: there's gonna be about twelve or fifteen new guys on 104 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 1: your team. So you just got to find the right 105 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,239 Speaker 1: mix and try to find the right guys to sign back. Obviously, 106 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 1: free agency is a crap shooting the gamble, and certain 107 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 1: guys may try to leave. Hopefully a lot of guys stay. 108 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 1: We're building something here. Everybody understands that We'll try to 109 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:20,160 Speaker 1: get as many of our guys as we can. I 110 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 1: think the core is in good shape. We've got a 111 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:23,720 Speaker 1: lot of guys that are stable here, a lot of 112 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:25,480 Speaker 1: guys would not to play football here, and we just 113 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:30,159 Speaker 1: gotta build around it a months coming up with personnel 114 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 1: meetings and figuring out there before the raft. Just off 115 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:39,039 Speaker 1: of this season, is there one area feeling this person 116 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 1: wanted on the team. I don't want to say there's 117 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,040 Speaker 1: one area. We need a couple of different areas, and 118 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 1: we're gonna meet at the staff and go over that, 119 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 1: and then as we go over that will matter down 120 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 1: the specific areas. I can sit here and say we 121 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 1: didn't do this well, and we're doing that well. But 122 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, we probably want to 123 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:56,839 Speaker 1: get better at every area. You know, depending on what's 124 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:58,600 Speaker 1: available and what we can get our hands on, we 125 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 1: probably just get better at that area in which A 126 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 1: key part of your seeking this year. How high I'm 127 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 1: I already left is resigning. Obviously it's pretty high as 128 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 1: the quarterback, and we had a great year for us, 129 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 1: so we want them back. How how important seeing it 130 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 1: the defense? I thought they amon had a great year. 131 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,159 Speaker 1: You know, theyman solidified the run game and helped us 132 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 1: stop everything inside you can blocking with one and sometimes 133 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 1: two guys. I thought he's very important for us. Kind 134 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 1: of sticking with that in regards to Mohammed Wolkers and 135 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 1: would you approach Mike at all and ask, I guess 136 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 1: make your opinion known on if you feel the team 137 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,160 Speaker 1: it's imperative that he comes back. We're gonna have that 138 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,280 Speaker 1: discussion obviously in all season We're gonna have a ton 139 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,760 Speaker 1: of them. That's gonna be one of them. How realistic 140 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 1: is it though, with which resources invested on the defensive 141 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 1: line to keep that entire move attack. Well, that's something 142 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 1: we gotta figure out in the off season. Obviously, it's 143 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 1: gonna be some tricky parts on our doing, and it's 144 00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 1: gonna be guys wanting to come back and just working 145 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,920 Speaker 1: it all out. You know, we got a while to 146 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 1: get all that done. So there's a lot of things 147 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 1: I have to be talked about before then. Ryan's afformance 148 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter yesterday in any way tarnish and 149 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 1: you had a big picture of you what he accomplished 150 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 1: over the course of the No, it didn't, you know, 151 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 1: he had a good season. He want a bunch of 152 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 1: games for us and can't tarnish that. I'm not gonna 153 00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 1: be great. Every quarter just happened. It was yesterday in 154 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 1: the last game. Do you want to get that. I 155 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 1: like Daniel Smith as a quarterback and the person as well. 156 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 1: I thought Geno it was very mature as a person, 157 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,920 Speaker 1: plays mc larry mature as a quarterback. I thought he 158 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 1: handled everything well. I probably took all his reps. I 159 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 1: thought he got better as a person, and I was 160 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 1: very proud of what he did this year. How do 161 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 1: you say you want Ryan Fitzpatrick back? Is that as 162 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 1: you're starting quarterback, you want to come back in that role. 163 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 1: He comes back, he'll be the starter. If you talk 164 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 1: to any of the players from out any plock back 165 00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,120 Speaker 1: for next season at still be a returning. No, we 166 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 1: hadn't talked in to contract because sad accident given good 167 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 1: by us. Certain things about the first year's head coach 168 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 1: that being in it surprise you that you couldn't have 169 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 1: known him to be actually gotten it either. I mean, 170 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:19,240 Speaker 1: obviously the day to day process and certain things go wrong, 171 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 1: like the locker room thing, or something happens in the 172 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 1: summer in the off season, take Sheldon's things, for example, 173 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 1: and certain things like that, they don't surprise you if 174 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 1: you know they're gonna come up and surprise you, because 175 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 1: there you don't still him coming. But you just handle 176 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 1: them on a day to day basis, and you get 177 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:36,679 Speaker 1: better at him, you get experience, and you're trying to 178 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 1: have to put too much into it. Say what you 179 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 1: gotta say, and you move on. Shelton, what are your 180 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 1: thoughts and your observations on how he responded to your 181 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:50,080 Speaker 1: guy's challenges an organization for him to grow up after 182 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 1: the incident, he got a summer and I thought he's 183 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 1: been great since then. You know, he's he's a very 184 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:58,080 Speaker 1: engaging guy to be around. He's been honestly been up front. 185 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,839 Speaker 1: He's been on time even there doing everything it needs 186 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:05,079 Speaker 1: to do other than more. Are there any injured players 187 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:08,080 Speaker 1: who you had expect to have surgeries as you off season? 188 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:13,839 Speaker 1: Not at this time, though jud it would be it 189 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:17,560 Speaker 1: does remain with the organization fairly unrealistic that he would 190 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,960 Speaker 1: stayed in any spring practices. I don't know the recovery 191 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 1: time right now, so I hope he hesitant answer that 192 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:31,679 Speaker 1: the offense um performed about your expectations this year. No, 193 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,599 Speaker 1: I thought they performed. Have they jailed? They performed to 194 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 1: expectations as an offense and as a team. You want 195 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 1: to get better at the weeks go on, you know, 196 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:40,959 Speaker 1: I thought they figured a lot of things out and 197 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,320 Speaker 1: I thought they got better. A lot of your best players, 198 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 1: like Revis Larsa, this Patrick, we're all over thirty years old. 199 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 1: Do you think the team needs to get older. I 200 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,199 Speaker 1: think we need to get faster. I don't know about younger. 201 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,240 Speaker 1: We need to get faster obviously certain areas. We want 202 00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 1: to have more team speed on the field, and that 203 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 1: that's with the process for me being a faster team. 204 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,319 Speaker 1: Don't you just to be using start for turning in 205 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 1: full excusing? Yes? Do you guys need um speaking here 206 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:11,680 Speaker 1: for getting faster? Do you think you need to spit 207 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 1: you on the edge the defensive and you drive the 208 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:20,959 Speaker 1: stats from some of the guys the outside. That's probably 209 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 1: getting faster all around. That's all inclusive in it kind 210 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:28,480 Speaker 1: of You don't expect any of your assistance for sue 211 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 1: opportunities alt where you're in the college or professional Well, 212 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:33,559 Speaker 1: they may, I'm not sure at this time. If you 213 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 1: asked me to, I expect them back. Yes, have I 214 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 1: met with him yet? You know, we'll meet for the 215 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 1: next two days and I can probably give you a 216 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:44,200 Speaker 1: better answer after that. What do you think of every 217 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 1: season overall? You mentioned want to Patrick back, You talked 218 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 1: about some of the guys to feel as strongly. Yeah, 219 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 1: I like Chris. I mean whether you want them back 220 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:55,920 Speaker 1: and how it works out of free agency are two 221 00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 1: different things. Obviously, money talks and situations differ. So sit 222 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:01,679 Speaker 1: up here and said I want everybody back. Yes, to 223 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,199 Speaker 1: sit up and here to say is everybody coming back? No, 224 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,520 Speaker 1: everybody's probably not gonna come back. But I've had a 225 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 1: great year. It's a great running back. It's a good guy. 226 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 1: He works hard and I respect everything he does. I 227 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 1: don't think so he's getting nicked up during the year 228 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:17,839 Speaker 1: and you get a little bruise here and there, But 229 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 1: I don't think you ran out of gassed the first 230 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:26,760 Speaker 1: five seas. No, I don't. Seriously his knee entering the 231 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:30,559 Speaker 1: game yesterday. He downplayed it afterwards, but he mentioned that 232 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 1: Stephen got pretty much all the reps in practice. Really 233 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,000 Speaker 1: sends how he conveyed it. During the week, he was limited. 234 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 1: You know, one day Miss Nay was limited the rest 235 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 1: of the week. So Stephen was the only healthy running 236 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,079 Speaker 1: back we had. But as he got in the game, 237 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:45,080 Speaker 1: he got his reps. Do you think the teams fill 238 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 1: filled its potentials? Were no, our potential of the playoffs 239 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 1: and trying to get to the super Bowl? He got better. 240 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:58,079 Speaker 1: We didn't fulfill our potential. What can carry if it's 241 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,200 Speaker 1: a new team, what what can curry over to next? Well, 242 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 1: you start over, you're gonna have a new team. So 243 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:06,200 Speaker 1: the carryover is hopefully the confidence that we know how 244 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 1: to win and we jael together. But as you get 245 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,360 Speaker 1: new pieces to your puzzle, you gotta jell all over again. 246 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,560 Speaker 1: You gotta blend it together. So hopefully with the right 247 00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:18,079 Speaker 1: core and attack where we can do that again. Disappointed 248 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 1: to win the special teams warm at times, I mean 249 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 1: it returns, yes, and we gotta make tackles here and there. 250 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 1: Sometimes you gotta make plays. We didn't make enough plays, 251 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,079 Speaker 1: sometimes with the defense, sometimes with the offense, sometimes with 252 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 1: the special terms. Okay, so how you guys performed a 253 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 1: Do you feel like if you got in to the 254 00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 1: playoffs you could have made her run some of your 255 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,600 Speaker 1: players To mention that we didn't get in, there's nothing 256 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:48,800 Speaker 1: for me to talk about. How do you feel you did? 257 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 1: Person I can be better? You know, you learn some 258 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 1: things as a coach. I'm harder on myself first, I'm 259 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:57,400 Speaker 1: far look at anybody else. I can do a lot 260 00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 1: of things better, in particular everything, you know, a lot 261 00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:04,320 Speaker 1: of six games. I can do a lot of things better. 262 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 1: How much of a difference one made um this year 263 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 1: having everyone together? I mean, there's gonna be some changes, 264 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,199 Speaker 1: but not like this past year they had all the 265 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,560 Speaker 1: weeks that a lot of your players coming together. When 266 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:22,080 Speaker 1: you guys don't need how much easier you know, if 267 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,280 Speaker 1: a bit easier, it'll be a little more continuity from 268 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 1: a standpoint that they're hearing it for quite a few times. 269 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,240 Speaker 1: I haven't done it before and know what they expect 270 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,559 Speaker 1: and it's not new. So it's just a matter of 271 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,079 Speaker 1: im not some kinks and jelling together and hopefully with 272 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:38,120 Speaker 1: jail sooner than later. I thought, how pivotal is it 273 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 1: that that you bring back Fitzpatrick. You're talking about conduty 274 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 1: for all the records that they said was their first 275 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:49,200 Speaker 1: year together, that really wasn't part of off season starters. 276 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,600 Speaker 1: Howportanes is bringing back important to bring it back because 277 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,120 Speaker 1: it's starting quarterback. I understand he's a free agent and 278 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,360 Speaker 1: it's all about business and you want to work things out. 279 00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,320 Speaker 1: I understand when you're trying to bring somebody back, money 280 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 1: gets involved to it. It involved the whole team. It's 281 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 1: just not about bringing fits back. Is being able to 282 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,079 Speaker 1: afford him or somebody else overpan for him and those 283 00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,720 Speaker 1: type of things. But you can't take away from anything 284 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,560 Speaker 1: he's done this year from a record standpoint or otherwise. 285 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:15,319 Speaker 1: He's been great for the guy in the locker room, 286 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:17,440 Speaker 1: and he knows we want them back and he wants 287 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:19,200 Speaker 1: to be back. It's just a matter of working it now. 288 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:25,120 Speaker 1: It's just a little the whole quarter Yes, I do. 289 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,400 Speaker 1: If you gonna enjoy this year or not because you 290 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:33,240 Speaker 1: didn't make them I enjoyed it best. We didn't make 291 00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:35,280 Speaker 1: the playoffs, but that was a good year and I 292 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 1: smiled much more than you think I do, Kimberly, But 293 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,800 Speaker 1: it was enjoyable. He learned from it, obviously, the ultimate 294 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 1: thing is winning, not just enjoying it. But you know, 295 00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 1: it was fun. What was your role assessment? I thought 296 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:54,480 Speaker 1: those guys played well. You know, they were healthy for 297 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:57,080 Speaker 1: the most part. They played well together. We can get 298 00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 1: better at something. Some games. We've got stoned in the 299 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:01,960 Speaker 1: run game with some games. You know, we had some 300 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 1: big running games and that's the all the tribute to them. Steger, 301 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:09,480 Speaker 1: You're off, there's one that a concern for you, not 302 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:11,840 Speaker 1: at this time. You always want to build and have 303 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,200 Speaker 1: somebody behind somebody in case they leave by injury or otherwise. 304 00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:19,440 Speaker 1: But you know, I thought they played well this Curly 305 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 1: rolling for coming. Hopefully he's got to work himself in there. 306 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:26,880 Speaker 1: Obviously we had guys that played and made some plays. 307 00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,000 Speaker 1: But we have all the confidence in the world and Curly, 308 00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 1: but if I have enough balls to go around? What 309 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:35,480 Speaker 1: about Dan Older? Kind of along the same line. He's 310 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 1: along the same line. He's gotta get healthy and me 311 00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 1: and he talked about it, he's gotta get healthy. He's 312 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 1: got to stay healthy. You know, he's gotta be ready 313 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 1: to play. You already that that's a challenge time and 314 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 1: you only in one year with him, but his whole 315 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,800 Speaker 1: NFL career has been kind of marred by injuries. He 316 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 1: worded it to be a guarded I can't stay in 317 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,120 Speaker 1: the field. No, I mean, he's got to get himself. 318 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 1: Some of them are freak injury that can't be helped. 319 00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,200 Speaker 1: Sometimes he got sick that couldn't be health. He's just 320 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:01,960 Speaker 1: got to continue to have his confidence and be ready 321 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 1: to play when his number called. I've seen it where 322 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:06,320 Speaker 1: people doesn't hit the strides at the third or fourth year, 323 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 1: and I've seen it where people can't stay healthy at all. 324 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:10,720 Speaker 1: You know that's up to d and that's up to 325 00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:13,960 Speaker 1: fate to decide. I can't say whether he feels it 326 00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 1: or doesn't feel it. He doesn't work that way, don't 327 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,200 Speaker 1: act that way. He always prepares to play and he 328 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,760 Speaker 1: works hard. He just has some freak injuries. Have a 329 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:25,480 Speaker 1: real chance of being a starter. He'll compete for one. 330 00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:30,400 Speaker 1: Do you say that because you're not certain in our 331 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,440 Speaker 1: priorities future? I say that because going into the spring, 332 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 1: all the spots are open and you earn it as 333 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 1: you go. Is Antonio Cormarti a guy that you'd like 334 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 1: to see back? I knows the cop number next year 335 00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:42,760 Speaker 1: is kind of high, but dealing with him in Arizona, 336 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 1: would you'd like to see him return? Yeah? I like 337 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:48,040 Speaker 1: the same return again at all. It's all business at 338 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,360 Speaker 1: this standpoint. We gotta put everything together and see what 339 00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:52,360 Speaker 1: we can come up with and hopefully out the right 340 00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:57,880 Speaker 1: guys on our team table. For certain guys, once I 341 00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,040 Speaker 1: watched the film, I'm not gonna over face it a 342 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 1: point where it detriments the rest of the team. Well, 343 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 1: what a great when you gave me some time. We 344 00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:16,760 Speaker 1: didn't go to the playoffs. That's the bottom line. So 345 00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 1: I don't have a great after that. If you want 346 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:20,159 Speaker 1: to call it a F called to the F, if 347 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:21,480 Speaker 1: you want to call it the B callor to B, 348 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,040 Speaker 1: I don't have one for myself. I'm still working at 349 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:27,520 Speaker 1: it all right. Thanks, what game you talk
