Did Did you see that as well? 45 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think everybody in the playoffs. Everybody has a chance, 46 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,440 Speaker 1: you know. I remember when we lost the Rams last 47 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 1: game of the year, some of the guys in that 48 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 1: staff I'm friends with text and say congratulations and and 49 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 1: and they all said, hey, we'll see in a couple 50 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 1: of weeks. And I said, I think we're going to 51 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 1: see the Packers, and uh. And it's nothing against Dallas. 52 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 1: Dallas a good team, but I've been watching green Bay 53 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 1: recently and and you know they're a good team. Dallas 54 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 1: is a good team, and and it was going to 55 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:13,960 Speaker 1: be a good battle. And you know, not that Dallas 56 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,079 Speaker 1: couldn't win as well, they were the higher seeded team. 57 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,399 Speaker 1: But everybody, once you're in this thing, you just don't 58 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:19,919 Speaker 1: know how it's going to turn. And the team that 59 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,360 Speaker 1: gets hot, the team that's playing well, you take care 60 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:23,799 Speaker 1: of the football this time of year, you're gonna have 61 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:25,240 Speaker 1: a chance. And green Bay is doing all the right 62 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:26,960 Speaker 1: things right now. And there's not not a surprise that 63 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 1: they won the game. They did more things well in 64 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:30,360 Speaker 1: that game and we're able to come away with a win. 65 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 4: You were with Kyle and Matt le floor in Washington. 66 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 4: Do you look you look at these two, I don't know, 67 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 4: you're probably gonna look at it their offense real closely. 68 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 4: But do you see a lot of the similarities in 69 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 4: the way these teams operate? 70 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 1: Well do I mean their offensive coordinator Stenovich was here 71 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 1: for the first couple of years with Kyle, then you 72 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 1: have obviously you have Matt there and and I think 73 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,800 Speaker 1: with anytime you when you when they were there with 74 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 1: with Aaron Rodgers, you're going to take some of what 75 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 1: he did, some of what you do, and you kind 76 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 1: of planned it together. Now this is a little bit 77 00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:59,839 Speaker 1: more a long line, so there's there's a lot of similarities, 78 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 1: although they've started from a different jump out. You know, 79 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 1: they started the thing with Rogers and now it's evolving 80 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:06,799 Speaker 1: a little bit more towards what I would think Matt 81 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 1: would be not as similar to us, but but there's 82 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:10,959 Speaker 1: a lot of things they do. It's really cool to 83 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 1: watch what they do because all the teams from this tree, 84 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 1: whether you look at Cleveland, you look at us, look 85 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 1: at all the teams that kind of run similar When 86 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,079 Speaker 1: the Jets, when when when when la Floor was there 87 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,079 Speaker 1: and down with Sean and everybody takes a spin with it. 88 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 1: In fact, last year I was talking with Kevin Stefanski. 89 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 1: I was I think it was a year ago. Two 90 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 1: years ago. I was trying to get recommendations to hire 91 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 1: our assistant offensive line coaches and uh and Kevin said, 92 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,520 Speaker 1: you know, it's always fun to see what each guy 93 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 1: does with the system when a new guy gets a job. 94 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 1: Bobby Slowak, Now in Houston, you take every single one 95 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 1: of these guys, Matt, Lafleur, Kyle, Sean, and everybody gets 96 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 1: their little piece. It's just a little different flavored, a 97 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 1: little different spin. And that's what Matt has. 98 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 4: When you were on that staff, did you ever look 99 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 4: around at all these young coaches think mans it's a 100 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 4: pretty special group of guys. Or was it more just 101 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 4: let's just have a good day for practice. 102 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 1: Well, no, it was it was you know, like I 103 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 1: told you. I think I said this before. It is 104 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 1: one of my favorite One of my favorite stories about 105 00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 1: Matt and Sean is I'm interviewing and I'm suited up, 106 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 1: and I got Kyle and Mike Shanahan sitting right with you. 107 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 1: Guys are right across this big staff table.

And they looked like the two 116 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,160 Speaker 1: guys I told you. It looked like they're going to 117 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:25,599 Speaker 1: pick up the free agents at the airport and then 118 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:27,599 Speaker 1: they're going to bring them back for meals. And literally 119 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 1: they're working there, their tails off, mats to the quarterback. 120 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 1: Coach Shawn's working quality control, and I just knew we 121 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 1: had a special atmosphere, the group we had there with 122 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 1: Coach Shanahan, how he built the thing, how he taught 123 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,279 Speaker 1: us all, how he tried to change the culture and 124 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,039 Speaker 1: environment there. Then how Sean Kyle was with his dad, 125 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,840 Speaker 1: and then how they trained. We worked all together to 126 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:46,359 Speaker 1: learn this thing and then to put the thing together 127 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 1: with RG three, that's when you kind of saw everybody 128 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:50,360 Speaker 1: kind of coming to their own when they their own 129 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,039 Speaker 1: flair of creativity. And Kyle gives guys a lot of freedom. Hey, Matt, 130 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 1: you're in charge of the third down, Sewn, you're in 131 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 1: charge of red zone. Bring me your report before I 132 00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 1: delve into it. And seeing how they would come up 133 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:00,840 Speaker 1: with their own flair and been on things. And some 134 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,159 Speaker 1: days it was man, great job, Sewan. Some days he 135 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 1: yelled down the hall at Sean, Sean, what did you do? 136 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:06,600 Speaker 1: Did you work out all day? He didn't do anything 137 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 1: for my report here? You know it was Kyle, but 138 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,040 Speaker 1: it was the way we all got better. Kyle held 139 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 1: us all accountable and did a real good job, as 140 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:13,839 Speaker 1: did his dad. And that's kind of how the thing grew. 141 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,719 Speaker 5: Deebo just did something and only that Charlie Taylor had 142 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 5: done before. And its rushing and receiving yards. This first 143 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,679 Speaker 5: five years with Devo, is he just such a natural 144 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:25,799 Speaker 5: talent that you when you're putting in run game stuff 145 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,279 Speaker 5: that you don't necessarily have to be as you know, 146 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 5: finite with him on the detail of your run game 147 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 5: is very detailed. I'm just curious how different it is 148 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 5: maybe when you work with Dego. 149 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, there's some things that obviously he is so talented. 150 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 1: You get the ball in his hands and and it's 151 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 1: always it's there's a lot of good things that can happen, 152 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,479 Speaker 1: but there are certain plays that that require a little 153 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 1: more few more reps as a running back, and others 154 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:45,599 Speaker 1: don't require So we do lean on the ones that 155 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,040 Speaker 1: maybe don't require as many reps. Not that he can't 156 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 1: read it or doesn't read he's just not gonna get 157 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 1: the workout it because by the time you work at receiver, 158 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 1: you do anything you do there, by the time you 159 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 1: do the blocking that we need to get done with 160 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 1: with the game, and then you give him some handoffs 161 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:57,600 Speaker 1: as well. There's only certain things you can do, so 162 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 1: you try to keep the focus on things that don't 163 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,040 Speaker 1: require quite as much. But there's certain things he likes 164 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 1: and is good at, and whether it's done perfectly or not, 165 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 1: he finds a way to get yards on I remember 166 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,159 Speaker 1: against Green Bay up there a few years ago, we 167 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 1: ran to play at the end of the game to 168 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 1: ice the game. No pun intended, but he ran through 169 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,480 Speaker 1: there and it wasn't blocked. Well, it wasn't. It was 170 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 1: very poorly executed to play and Deebo find a way 171 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,280 Speaker 1: to get us the first down and with that was 172 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,239 Speaker 1: the end the game. We're a victory from that point forward. 173 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 5: Advant does it give you guys to have the interchangeability 174 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,719 Speaker 5: of Debo and Christian and what they get. 175 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:30,280 Speaker 1: All those guys, man, it's great. I mean every single 176 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 1: guy that goes in the game. It's a little bit 177 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 1: different between JP, between Mitch and then you have and 178 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,360 Speaker 1: Christian and you have Debo and all those guys when 179 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 1: they handle the football and what they do with it. Shoot, 180 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:40,919 Speaker 1: even Raybray when you've seen him handle the ball at times. 181 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 1: Anybody can touch that football. We've just got a lot 182 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 1: of guys with ball iner hands, a lot of different 183 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 1: ways to get it to him. The creativity that Kyle 184 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 1: uses and the other coaches used to help get these 185 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:49,600 Speaker 1: guys involved. It's a great advantage to be able to 186 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 1: do that. So it's not always going to be Christian. 187 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,680 Speaker 1: Christian maybe lead blocking. You know, we've talked about it before. 188 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:55,719 Speaker 1: It's just it's a it's a great advantage. I don't 189 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:57,720 Speaker 1: know how it affects the defense. It is a great 190 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 1: way to get everybody involved in the offense. 191 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,920 Speaker 6: Cowboys had a check at the line of scrimmage early 192 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 6: in the game where you could hear Dak Prescott on 193 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 6: the TV copy saying false Shanahan. False Shanahan. It was 194 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 6: a run play that holler to the left. Does that 195 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 6: mean anything to you? 196 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 1: Well, I'm assuming Shanahan. It was an outside zone play, 197 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,240 Speaker 1: so the Shanahans have been known for the outside zone 198 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 1: running game, so I'm assuming. And then the L word 199 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 1: someone there probably meant their code word for running the 200 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 1: play to the left. So I'm guessing. If I were guessing, 201 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 1: I don't know anything about it. Was it fall? Was 202 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 1: that the word false? Yeah, so false Shanahan would be 203 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 1: we're running left Shanahan or something. Who knows what all 204 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 1: their code words are. I'm sure they have a ton 205 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 1: of them, and they're ones that I can't spend time breaking. 206 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 1: But that when I heard Shanahan, I said, I bet 207 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 1: it's an outside zone And I was sitting there watching 208 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 1: with my soundy, which sure enough, it was, Oh, yeah, 209 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 1: we're working right now, you know, John, John had some 210 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 1: you know, we're working through some things. Last week in 211 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 1: the season. I think we're gonna see probably you'll see 212 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 1: some of both guys in the game as far as 213 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 1: who starts and who doesn't, although I'm not sure at 214 00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 1: this point. I really I think we're working out through 215 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 1: the week and could be a hot hand thing, could 216 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 1: be a let one guy just go with it and see, 217 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 1: I don't know, We're still both guys have been working, 218 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 1: and we got to have flexibility in there. My thing 219 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 1: is is that with our you know, Banks, he's had 220 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 1: some things this season. So the flexibility of John being 221 00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 1: able to work all the positions, that's always going to 222 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 1: leave us a little bit making sure that John's ready 223 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:21,000 Speaker 1: at all the spots. He's the backup center, he's the 224 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 1: backup left guard, so that always weighs into our equation 225 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 1: a little bit. So we've got to keep some flexibility there, right. 226 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 3: Question. 227 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 1: But how valuable is how you check to what you 228 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 1: guys do. 229 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 4: As an offensive turney. 230 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:35,960 Speaker 1: Kyle's very, very very you know, he's instrumental in so 231 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 1: much that we do. I think that you have to 232 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:38,719 Speaker 1: deal with the full back, you saying, okay, the full 233 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:40,559 Speaker 1: back running game. Then you can put him as a 234 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:42,200 Speaker 1: tight end position and you can put him in the 235 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,200 Speaker 1: backfield on third down. Then you can split him out 236 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 1: and he can run routes in our route tree and 237 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 1: do everything's that he can run down the field and 238 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,599 Speaker 1: catch past us. He's a he's a good he's not 239 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 1: a great matchup at times for linebackers to cover. So 240 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 1: that flexibility, all that we can do with them, plus 241 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:55,960 Speaker 1: having him dot the eye, you know, be the fullback 242 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,080 Speaker 1: in the eye formation, gives us a great deal. And 243 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,840 Speaker 1: as I've stayed in here, we talked about this before 244 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,280 Speaker 1: and here how the fullback position, the guy in the 245 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,679 Speaker 1: backfield allows you to cut the defense in different ways. 246 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 1: So everything you can do in the run game, protection wise, 247 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,680 Speaker 1: everything he does just very flexible and really really such 248 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,199 Speaker 1: again it's you know, get where he went to school. 249 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 1: He's a really smart football player, and the guys really 250 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,560 Speaker 1: really does a great job of sometimes kind of helping 251 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,440 Speaker 1: the other guys put everything together and seize the play 252 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 1: and understands and he understands the intent of the play. 253 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 1: So Melie, does he execute what we ask him? He 254 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,840 Speaker 1: executes it pretty cool too, he doesn't in a good way. 255 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 2: Four different teams have run for two hundred yards against 256 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 2: this Green Bay defense. I would imagine you watched those films. 257 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 2: Is there any common denominators in any of the success against. 258 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:43,080 Speaker 4: Their run teams? 259 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:45,960 Speaker 1: Yeah? And you know every team can have can have 260 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 1: it stay on offense or on defense, you know, And 261 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:50,599 Speaker 1: I think that what happens is all it takes is 262 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 1: a couple of big runs and you pop a big 263 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 1: run or two, and that can happen. And so that's 264 00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:55,920 Speaker 1: what that's what ends up happening. I mean a couple 265 00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:57,080 Speaker 1: of years ago, we ran for a lot of yards 266 00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 1: against the Vikings in the first round playoff game, but 267 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,040 Speaker 1: we didn't have run over seven. It was hard to 268 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,440 Speaker 1: get a big number. Whenever you have a big day 269 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,200 Speaker 1: running the football, there's going to be some explosive runs 270 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,080 Speaker 1: in there somewhere. And when you get those explosive runs, 271 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:10,320 Speaker 1: you know, did that happen because of a miscap, mistackle, 272 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 1: great block play, good design. There's a lot of different 273 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 1: reasons that plays like that can happen. I don't know 274 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 1: offhand exactly what they would be. Obviously, we're going to 275 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,719 Speaker 1: look at what we think we can have success with 276 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 1: within our package and what they do. And you know, 277 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:24,400 Speaker 1: and as I told my guys the other day, man, 278 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 1: it's playoff time, and expect the unexpected. What you think 279 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,800 Speaker 1: you're going to see, you may not see. What you've 280 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 1: prepared for all week may not happen. So you've got 281 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 1: to rely on your your eighteen weeks seventeen weeks. You 282 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,160 Speaker 1: know of playing football games, and how you've worked together 283 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 1: as a group to build on that and get yourself 284 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:41,560 Speaker 1: ready for whatever they may bring and hoping that you 285 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:46,079 Speaker 1: can have that kind of success run into football. Thank you, guys, 286 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:46,719 Speaker 1: appreciate it.
