1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,280 Speaker 1: Today is a real um UH important day in our history, 2 00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:08,280 Speaker 1: especially in this area. UM No. Eleven was a terrible 3 00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:10,240 Speaker 1: tragedy that happened in our country and a lot of 4 00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:13,399 Speaker 1: lives were lost. UM and I think it's important UM 5 00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:17,479 Speaker 1: that we remember those lives, remember the heroes UM during 6 00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:21,239 Speaker 1: this day nineteen years ago, UM and UH will forever 7 00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:24,439 Speaker 1: UM offer and give my condolences and prayers to the 8 00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:28,160 Speaker 1: families and people involved. I'm in this tragedy, I'm years 9 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:32,479 Speaker 1: ago today, but but we're as a team and we're 10 00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:35,680 Speaker 1: really excited to get back on Monday night prom time. 11 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:37,879 Speaker 1: It really doesn't get UM any better than that to 12 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:41,600 Speaker 1: start up the year. So we're passing really well this week, 13 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:45,239 Speaker 1: really hard, UM preparing for the big game. What can 14 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:47,280 Speaker 1: you do as a tight end? You know Andrew Thomas 15 00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:49,599 Speaker 1: is gonna be probably lined up with left tackle as 16 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:51,319 Speaker 1: a rookie starter. What can you do as a tight 17 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 1: end when you're next to him to help him, UM communicate, 18 00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:59,400 Speaker 1: That's the biggest thing, especially with I remember my rookie 19 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 1: abut it was definitely butterflies and odds flying around everywhere. 20 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,040 Speaker 1: So it's normal to feel that and they'll definitely have 21 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,560 Speaker 1: some nerves but I think I'm just communicating. I'm being 22 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,480 Speaker 1: on the same page UM and being successful and and 23 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,360 Speaker 1: UM physical with him. I'm in the running game, UM, 24 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,920 Speaker 1: and and giving them confidence and moving the ball down 25 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:19,720 Speaker 1: the field to kind of get him in the group. 26 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,199 Speaker 1: So we probably doing that as offense, and we're gonna 27 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,200 Speaker 1: probably doing that. I'm all together on Monday. Thanks and 28 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 1: thanks for your opening thoughts too. Thank you, Tom, Hey Evan, 29 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,840 Speaker 1: Tom Candeman, how are you well? I'm doing well. How 30 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:41,120 Speaker 1: about you good? UM? I was wondering as as s 31 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 1: Quan was talking yesterday saying the team was gonna get 32 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:47,040 Speaker 1: together and talk about how they wanted to approach things 33 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 1: like the anthem and things like that, I was wondering, 34 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 1: did you fill us in on have you made any decisions? UM? Honestly, 35 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 1: that's that's definitely UM in house right now. M keeping 36 00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 1: that in house between the team and UM. It's definitely 37 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 1: UH important subject. But right now we're focused on this game. UM. 38 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 1: But those discussions are being had, but it's definitely going 39 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 1: to stay in the house. Okay, thank you, all right, Hey, 40 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 1: that's going on? What's up? UM? Just curious if you 41 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 1: get a chance to watch much of the game. Last 42 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 1: night at all. Yeah, I got about a quarter in 43 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 1: the first quarter and I shut it down. It was 44 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:29,920 Speaker 1: just the reason I was I was asking. It's just 45 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 1: it seemed like the perception was that it was not 46 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,919 Speaker 1: as sloppy as people thought. With all the way the 47 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,799 Speaker 1: off season went and the way you had a kind 48 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 1: of restrict training camp, no preseason games, there was the 49 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 1: thought that early on in this season the quality of 50 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:48,640 Speaker 1: football would not be where it was. I was just 51 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,639 Speaker 1: curious if you saw something early on in that game 52 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 1: last night and maybe it took you back a little 53 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 1: bit and said, you know what, maybe it's not gonna 54 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 1: be as s coppy as people might think. We gotta 55 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 1: really zero whim on making sure we get everything right 56 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,360 Speaker 1: because we know this quality that could actually be there 57 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 1: on the field right from jump. Yeah. Um, you know 58 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:11,919 Speaker 1: that definitely is a perception going into it and not 59 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 1: having really any live preseason games to kind of get 60 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 1: that feel and iron out some things. But um, I 61 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 1: think it's uh, I think that's gonna be on us. 62 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 1: That's gonna be on our execution and our attention to detail, um, 63 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,079 Speaker 1: and how fast we come out um. So um, it's 64 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 1: definitely not something that we're expecting on either side of the 65 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 1: the ball. Steelers were expecting steelers to come out very 66 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 1: sharp and and fresh and ready to go, and we 67 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 1: have to do that ourselves as well.
