1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,520 Speaker 1: No, no, the only the only pressure was just that, 2 00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:07,320 Speaker 1: you know, we needed to win a game. It didn't 3 00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:09,399 Speaker 1: matter where. Obviously we love coming over here, but it 4 00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:12,200 Speaker 1: didn't matter where. We just needed to feel what winning 5 00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:15,680 Speaker 1: feels like. Again. Proud of the guys, Proud of the 6 00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:19,599 Speaker 1: coaches for the way they you know, we worked this 7 00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:22,200 Speaker 1: past you know, ten days or so over here, and uh, 8 00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:25,320 Speaker 1: good way to a good way to finish this little run. Coach, 9 00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:28,600 Speaker 1: when did you go over it on more? I'm doing guys. 10 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,600 Speaker 1: Often we see out of potential shift in the menisiter 11 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:39,680 Speaker 1: throughout the set at school and the team, and he 12 00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:44,919 Speaker 1: did message, Yeah, situations like that, it's gonna happen. I 13 00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,400 Speaker 1: was just to go back to the decision. I mean, 14 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,240 Speaker 1: I was riding the momentum of what we were doing 15 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:51,320 Speaker 1: leading up to that point. Our offensive line was was 16 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:53,480 Speaker 1: really you know, taking control of the game at that point, 17 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:55,600 Speaker 1: and it felt like just putting it in their hands 18 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 1: one more time, getting the first down right there and 19 00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,200 Speaker 1: and potentially you know, ice the game at that point. 20 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,560 Speaker 1: But they went down, scored, we get the ball back 21 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:05,440 Speaker 1: and and and you still got to play football. And 22 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,120 Speaker 1: that's this is just a message. You still got to 23 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 1: continue to play and and uh we were able to 24 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:13,680 Speaker 1: do that to to go down and and we ended 25 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:15,600 Speaker 1: up you know, taking a little time off. We punted 26 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:17,759 Speaker 1: the football back to them. Defense did a great job 27 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,280 Speaker 1: and then of course, you know from the ten yard line, 28 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 1: able to punch it back in. But he just got 29 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 1: to play for sixty minutes. These games, these games are 30 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:30,000 Speaker 1: never over, and that's always gonna be the message to 31 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:32,280 Speaker 1: the way he ran the ball, is that kind of 32 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 1: what you means your team where he is an opportunity 33 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 1: and he really doesn't he you know, he he's done. 34 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,360 Speaker 1: He's done a really good job for us. You know, 35 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 1: he's going into the season, you know, behind TJ. And 36 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 1: and you know he's earned, he's earned the right to 37 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 1: to be out there. He's earned, you know, an opportunity. 38 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 1: And you know he did. He did a nice job today. 39 00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 1: Ran hard, ran tough, as they say, you know, ran 40 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 1: behind his pads. I thought the offensive line did a 41 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 1: great job for him, tight ends, uh you know, blocking 42 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 1: and things of that nature. But you know he did 43 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 1: the rest. I think he had a you know, went 44 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,960 Speaker 1: over one hundred yards again today and and just a 45 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 1: great effort of what kind of message do you d 46 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,520 Speaker 1: those of the team were not here in the UK. 47 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:20,639 Speaker 1: You know, we've got to duplicate it. We got to 48 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 1: duplicate the energy. We've got to duplicate you know, what 49 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 1: we did over here. You know, this week of practice 50 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,239 Speaker 1: has been one of our better weeks of practice, and 51 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:32,360 Speaker 1: you know, we we've got to be able to carry 52 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 1: this all the way back and do it again. I mean, 53 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 1: that's that's what this league is. It's a short term memory. 54 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 1: You just you just try to go want to know 55 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:43,079 Speaker 1: each week and and but I thought the guys really 56 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 1: handled themselves, you know, professionally while we were here, you know, 57 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:51,639 Speaker 1: for the ten days. How we op into that game. 58 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:56,520 Speaker 1: Growing up on the topic games, well, yeah, these guys 59 00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 1: have really you know, proven you know, they're worth obviously 60 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 1: their draft stock and things of that nature. You look 61 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: at what Parker Washington did on that on that punt return. 62 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,799 Speaker 1: Obviously he you know, he's just one guy. Ten ten 63 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 1: other guys had to do their job. They did a 64 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 1: great job there. You know. Brian Thomas, I think each 65 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 1: week he just keeps getting better and better. And he 66 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 1: and Trevor, you know, I've had a really good connection going. 67 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 1: And something we gotta we gotta continue and continue to 68 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 1: find ways to you know, scheme him open. I thought 69 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,920 Speaker 1: Press did a nice job you know this week and 70 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 1: doing that and getting him you know, some balls down 71 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 1: the field as well as Christian Evan and everybody had 72 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 1: a hand. So but that's what it takes, I think 73 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 1: to win these games, is it. You know, it's not 74 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 1: just one guy. I think it The ball has to 75 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 1: you know, be spread around and it was today that 76 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 1: was pretty complete. I think it was twenty two points, right, 77 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, the way we started the game, 78 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: both sides, the ball wasn't wasn't what we wanted. You know. 79 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 1: New England came out and obviously scored, got up, got 80 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 1: up ten and then we finally answered. But it was 81 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 1: a complete, complete quarter, you know. And but again you're 82 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 1: gonna have though, so you're gonna have a quarter like 83 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,240 Speaker 1: that from time to time. They're not always every game 84 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 1: is not going to be like that. But it was 85 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 1: good to see. It was something that we hadn't had 86 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 1: this year, and it was good to see because we 87 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:31,720 Speaker 1: haven't seen many for one today. Is that something that 88 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 1: you guys at school in building for making big Conte, Yeah, 89 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 1: this dynamic kickoff is you know, it's different week to week. 90 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,480 Speaker 1: Probably not, you know. I I think a couple of 91 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:50,600 Speaker 1: weeks ago it was thirty percent or less balls were 92 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 1: being returned. Uh, it's it's just it's a hard play. 93 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 1: It's difficult, you know, and and guys are too good 94 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 1: and and you don't want to risk that retur hern, 95 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 1: you know. And but again, each week is different. There's 96 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 1: a there's gonna be weeks where we're gonna you know, 97 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 1: we're gonna kick the ball off, and there's gonna be 98 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:08,840 Speaker 1: weeks we're gonna we're gonna put it out of the 99 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 1: back of the end zone. So we take a look 100 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 1: every week and see what's best. Jean did it did 101 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 1: seem like you guys you got and you know for 102 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 1: the next minutes like pretty game, you know, Geene, and 103 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:42,280 Speaker 1: that this is what our team can do, right, I 104 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 1: feel strongly that that, you know, if we play like that, 105 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 1: that's what we're capable of. Now, is it sustainable over 106 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 1: the course of sixty minutes. It's not gonna be sustainable. 107 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 1: I get it. The other the other team is just 108 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 1: as good. But but again, we got in a situation 109 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,000 Speaker 1: where we were down you know, we were down ten, but 110 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 1: but nobody was like, you know, here we go again, 111 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:10,919 Speaker 1: or defeated or you know, had negative thoughts. It was 112 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 1: just just one play at a time or work ourselves 113 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,600 Speaker 1: back in it. And and offense went out and we 114 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:20,680 Speaker 1: we showed the complimentary aspect of the game today. You know, uh, 115 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:24,160 Speaker 1: in all three phases. And that's what it. That's what it, 116 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:28,599 Speaker 1: you know, I'm uh the spark that you know, hopefully 117 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 1: we can get this thing going, which was not just 118 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 1: an opportunity to try something you know in scenario or 119 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:43,040 Speaker 1: something in the ads that you may or just to go. No, no, 120 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 1: those are thought out. I mean situations like that where 121 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 1: there's a penalty on the defense, you know, on an 122 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 1: extra point you get the ball to one yard line, 123 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 1: I mean it's a way to get an extra extra 124 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:56,160 Speaker 1: point right, two points. And so no, it wasn't. It 125 00:06:56,200 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 1: wasn't something we just were trying. It's definitely planned and 126 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 1: executed well. Week against the ground game, the game going 127 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 1: was there not going, and we also saw almost on 128 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 1: the ground. It's not something because it's more because it's 129 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 1: more of us the season holes, you know, as far 130 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 1: as Brian goes, you know, we try to find ways 131 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 1: to put the ball in his hand, right, And to 132 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 1: answer your question, yeah, we'll we'll, we'll try to find 133 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 1: unique ways, you know, to to get him the football 134 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 1: where he can run it, you know. But obviously he's 135 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,480 Speaker 1: better you know, down the field. But and then the 136 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 1: run game was just something that look, it's you know, 137 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 1: it's a mindset to run the football in the National 138 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,239 Speaker 1: Football League, And and it takes a lot of people, 139 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 1: you know, not just the offensive line. It's it's the 140 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 1: quarterback getting us in the right run, you know, the 141 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 1: the the the five oz alignment being on the right 142 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 1: right page, targeted right, the tight ends are involved, even 143 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 1: receivers going in and digging out safety. So I just 144 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 1: thought today was was a was a complete game. Obviously 145 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 1: we'll take take a look at the tape on the 146 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 1: way back and make corrections and and and and learn. 147 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 1: So as you mentioned, Gilder running game today with tanks 148 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 1: performs in particular when comes back from his injury east 149 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 1: side position web type maybe taking love it. I I 150 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 1: don't think so. I'm not a believer where or I 151 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 1: should say I'm a believer where injury doesn't replace your position, right, 152 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 1: I I think you have to have a fair you know, 153 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 1: a fair competition for us. We're we're blessed to have 154 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,160 Speaker 1: two really good running backs right now. And and when 155 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 1: Etn comes back, you know, he's just as explosive, just 156 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 1: as good, just as powerful. And it's still you know, 157 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:45,960 Speaker 1: it's still his job, you know. And and but Tank 158 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,040 Speaker 1: has done some really good things and and obviously we're 159 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 1: gonna continue to to find ways to to put the 160 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 1: ball in his hands too, because he's a he's a 161 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 1: little different runner than than Etn is.
