1 00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:02,960 Speaker 1: Darius loved yesterday we saw he got back out there 2 00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:05,520 Speaker 1: for some limited work, right, Yeah, he moved around well 3 00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:06,880 Speaker 1: and we had him out there. He didn't do he 4 00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:09,680 Speaker 1: was limited obviously, was none close to full practice for him. 5 00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:11,039 Speaker 1: But we're able to kind of get him off to 6 00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:12,559 Speaker 1: you know, trainer's field and kind of move around a 7 00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:14,280 Speaker 1: little bit and see how I look. But yeah, it's positive. 8 00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:17,840 Speaker 1: How about Stake Bun and Kenny? Any chance he still 9 00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:19,800 Speaker 1: held it out help they could play or at least 10 00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:22,560 Speaker 1: the official inactives you know, were the official ruleouts and 11 00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:24,760 Speaker 1: game statusy after today, you know, we'll kind of move 12 00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:26,960 Speaker 1: around a little bit. The trainers, you know, yes, there's 13 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,320 Speaker 1: better day before kind of training the good direction. If 14 00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:31,000 Speaker 1: it's not this week, we'll see where it goes into 15 00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:33,199 Speaker 1: their future. They've hurt that the grass is wet, Like 16 00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:35,360 Speaker 1: would they be able to do more Skun and Kenny 17 00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:38,000 Speaker 1: if the grass wasn't wet, Like does that make sense? 18 00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:40,800 Speaker 1: Like you don't want them to slip or whatever? That 19 00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:42,479 Speaker 1: wasn't really part of it, not say, in terms of 20 00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,000 Speaker 1: drainage on our fields, that's not really like it rained 21 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:46,640 Speaker 1: the other day. It wasn't really wet for our guys 22 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:50,159 Speaker 1: on the field yesterday often the cigar you could Darius 23 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:53,440 Speaker 1: couldn't be ready by Monday night. You know, he's got 24 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 1: a little bitctually time this week absolutely being the Monday 25 00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 1: night game. Um, you know the plans to bring him 26 00:00:57,840 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 1: on the trip right now and see where he's at. 27 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,000 Speaker 1: But you know he moved around well enough, yes, say that. 28 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:03,520 Speaker 1: You know, well, why I take him on a trip. 29 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:08,360 Speaker 1: We always ask players if they were like fans of 30 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 1: other players when they're growing up, but you've you know, 31 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,319 Speaker 1: growing up in Philly, were you like an Andy Reid 32 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 1: fan when you're younger? Yeah? I had a lot of 33 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:16,920 Speaker 1: respectful him. I really did. Remember when he came in 34 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,120 Speaker 1: and um, I thought he did a really really good 35 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:20,679 Speaker 1: job right away of getting the team moving in a 36 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:24,760 Speaker 1: certain direction. Uh I remember, you know, he was one 37 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,840 Speaker 1: of the few coaches actually watched his postgame pressers. You know. 38 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,399 Speaker 1: You know, living in that city, there's kind of only 39 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 1: a couple of channels, and most of them are sports 40 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,319 Speaker 1: talk radio anyway, so you kind of grow up, whether 41 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,840 Speaker 1: you know, riding into school or whatever you're doing, you 42 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 1: listen to our talk radio. So it's a very sports 43 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:40,960 Speaker 1: centric city. There are a lot of things you kind 44 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 1: of pay attention to. I remember they kind of referenced 45 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 1: few of his postgame pressers early on, so I started 46 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:46,760 Speaker 1: paying more attention to him at a young age. I 47 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 1: kind of the game was over, turnover off Merrill Reefs 48 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 1: and kind of listening to and he was saying and um, 49 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 1: you know, I was just listen to how he said it. 50 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 1: He's a guy that I don't he remembers this, but 51 00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 1: when horriball is actually still you know in Philly especial 52 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 1: Teams corp Nator, he was a guy that actually Amos 53 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,280 Speaker 1: Jones was gane for him. Took me down during our 54 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 1: summer break, went down and watched the Eagles and their 55 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 1: o t as watching in practice how they operate being 56 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,240 Speaker 1: around their team in that nature right there. So there 57 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 1: are different exposures I had with them, um, things that 58 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:17,359 Speaker 1: he probably wouldn't remember, but a ton of respect for him, absolutely. 59 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,080 Speaker 1: And we know a lot about the influences of guys 60 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 1: who worked for But just as someone who I'm sure 61 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,240 Speaker 1: keeps tabs on the whole industry, is is there any 62 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,800 Speaker 1: coaches that really stand out that influence you? Um, as 63 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:30,119 Speaker 1: you're kind of coming up beyond the ones you worked for. Yeah, 64 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:31,799 Speaker 1: more than I can name right now, and and a 65 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 1: lot in different ways. Um. Now, some guys influence you 66 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 1: more in terms of how their teams play. Some guys 67 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 1: maybe because how they address publicly and you kind of 68 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 1: see the persona. I think sometimes you get closer to guys, 69 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:43,360 Speaker 1: you kind of get to know them. You know who 70 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 1: someone really behind them, Mike, who's someone kind of away 71 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:49,080 Speaker 1: from you know, the public um. But yeah, there's definitely 72 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 1: a lot of guys that have influenced me. To me, 73 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 1: I always really try to watch the tape in terms 74 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 1: of how the guys are playing like that to me 75 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 1: is the biggest thing that jumps out, Like anytime we 76 00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,640 Speaker 1: interview a coach for a job, before I ever talked 77 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:01,399 Speaker 1: to the guy, you know, someone brings their name over. 78 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 1: Maybe is the tape goes on and if you get 79 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: through a certain level of tape and you say, Okay, 80 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 1: this looks like what I'm looking for, then you start, 81 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 1: you know, progressing further on down the road. In terms 82 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 1: of you know, coaches you look up to our coach 83 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 1: that influence you. To me, it's all about how the 84 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,959 Speaker 1: players play in the field. You know, they sound, they discipline, 85 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:18,800 Speaker 1: if they play hard. You know what's it looked like 86 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 1: big games in that atmosphere in Kansas City. Uh, what 87 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:30,080 Speaker 1: do you tell your players what to expect? Well, I 88 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 1: think you keep it more centricl on this one here, 89 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:33,920 Speaker 1: But when you talk about the environment anywhere, which we 90 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 1: touch on which, to be honest, that's something that's kind 91 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 1: of evolved through my experience in this industry. I've coached 92 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 1: for a lot of guys who you never touched on 93 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 1: where you're going, you ever even focused on whether it 94 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 1: be specific to the other team, You never really worried 95 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 1: too much about the stadium and the environment where it is. 96 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 1: And then work for a couple of guys who you 97 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 1: know it's part of what you're going into. You talk 98 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 1: about the weather, you talk about the officiating, or you 99 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 1: talk about the stadium, you talk about the fan base. 100 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 1: Let them know everything going into it, so it's not 101 00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 1: surprised on you know, whether it be Saturday afternoons of 102 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 1: time or Sunday and where it is, and you kind 103 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,120 Speaker 1: of address that more. So we talk about you know, 104 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 1: like everything from hey, these are tight sidelines. You know, 105 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 1: the fans are right on you there. You know, to 106 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 1: some guys, you know they can relate it more to 107 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 1: maybe college they play. If you play at Florida, the 108 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 1: swamp to the tight sidelines. A lot of our guys 109 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,720 Speaker 1: have experienced playing for the SEC and those stadiums. Talk 110 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:18,839 Speaker 1: about the noise and the stadiums a very loud atmosphere, 111 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 1: and how does that affect you. You're still only playing 112 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 1: eleven on the field, right, but there is noise. You 113 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 1: have to go ahead mitigate. You've got to communicate through that. 114 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 1: Substitutions come up the sidelines, communications on the field, communications 115 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 1: within the checks in the place, communication post snap, or 116 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 1: whatever it may be. So you've gotta make sure the 117 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:34,719 Speaker 1: communications right. So that's why we go ahead and we 118 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:36,920 Speaker 1: use noise at practice, you know, just to make sure 119 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 1: that we're fighting to make that communication and you know, 120 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:43,279 Speaker 1: really over emphasizing every detail of it is important. You know, 121 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:45,280 Speaker 1: ultimately comes down to the players on the field and 122 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 1: how they execute. But in terms of the atmosphere out there, 123 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:49,359 Speaker 1: like this is a great fan base, I mean it 124 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 1: really is. It's it's obviously a historical team. There's a 125 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 1: lot of history in that city, a lot of great 126 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 1: things that happened at stadium. Uh, there's certain stadiums in 127 00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 1: this league that are very neat to walk out too. 128 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 1: I've only been a Lambeau once, but I can tell 129 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 1: you this. You know, it's kind of built up to 130 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,040 Speaker 1: me beforehand. I went out there for the game and 131 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 1: you just walk out there. So yeah, it's a special place. 132 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 1: It's just different being there. Ara Head is one of 133 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 1: those places you walk out there. It's got a different 134 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:13,720 Speaker 1: feel from some of the new stadium has got a 135 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,159 Speaker 1: lot of history to it. You know, the fan bases 136 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 1: out there, they get the drums banging. There's a whole 137 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:19,839 Speaker 1: lot of things that kind of tie into it right there. 138 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 1: So it's pretty cool. Aniostrade, Joe, we spent a lot 139 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 1: of time to ask you to go over what you 140 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:27,919 Speaker 1: don't have on the offensive line. This guy's missing, this 141 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,719 Speaker 1: guy's missing, this guy's missing. It looks like you're gonna 142 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:34,160 Speaker 1: start the same five guys for the in the same 143 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 1: five spots for the first time in any game this 144 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 1: year and seven games, seven different alignments. Looks like that's 145 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:44,279 Speaker 1: gonna change. But that should that help cohesion wise. I 146 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,720 Speaker 1: think sometimes it's looked at externally more than maybe us internally. 147 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:49,920 Speaker 1: You know, we expect all our guys to play Anyway, 148 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 1: I'm proud of how all the guys are working in progress, 149 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 1: are making I think the offensive line guys are doing 150 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,280 Speaker 1: a great job coach and getting these guys prepared. So, 151 00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:58,280 Speaker 1: you know, in terms of you know, the same group 152 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 1: carried over. You don't want to lose any of your players. 153 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 1: But at the same time, next man up, you gotta go, 154 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 1: you gotta operate, you gotta function. So I haven't really 155 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 1: thought too much, to be honestly, about the same group 156 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 1: two weeks in a row. It's just kind of get 157 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 1: our guys out there and get him playing. You're not 158 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 1: giving you guys on defense. Since he got here. You know, 159 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 1: he's still on the practice spot obviously, but I would 160 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,280 Speaker 1: imagine based on his role last week that he'll peel 161 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,160 Speaker 1: you up again this weekend. Yeah, you know what, since 162 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 1: he's been here, he's a very focused player. You can 163 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 1: see the experience carry over, the communication right away jumped 164 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 1: out with him. You know, you can tell right away, 165 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 1: just in practice last week that there were things, just 166 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,920 Speaker 1: natural things. He didn't have every call or check force 167 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 1: right away, but he could call it certain things based 168 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,159 Speaker 1: on alignments, tips, tendencies just from being in a league 169 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,280 Speaker 1: of what it may be so the communication jumped out 170 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 1: right away. You also kind of just see him in 171 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,040 Speaker 1: meetings preparing, and you can tell he has a system 172 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 1: and a process he follows, you know, the way he 173 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 1: takes notes, the way he you know, checked back on things, 174 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 1: the questions he asks and are very in tune, the 175 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 1: communication he has with the guys sitting next on making 176 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:55,760 Speaker 1: sure he's around guys he's gonna be communicating with. On 177 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 1: the field. He brings intensity to practice that showed up 178 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 1: in the game last week. That's something really like, obviously, 179 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,720 Speaker 1: I've known this guy through the league, playing against them, 180 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,160 Speaker 1: competing against him, having on your side, you can see 181 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 1: the success he's had and why it happens. This guy 182 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 1: prepares extremely well, and he goes out there and he 183 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 1: plays freely because he's prepared when a guy who's's got 184 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 1: his skins kind of comes in with a prow bawl. 185 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 1: The hundred tackle seasons, did they did they notice and 186 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 1: gravitate to that? I'd say so. I'd say so. I 187 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 1: think you can see just you know, whether it's a 188 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 1: young guys kind of looking at an older guy who's 189 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 1: done it, or maybe an older guy who you know, 190 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 1: you turn around said Okay, this guy's in this room, 191 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 1: now here we go. Yeah, I think it's been a 192 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 1: positive influence. I think when anyone comes in with that, uh, 193 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 1: that definitely grabs your attention. But I think beyond that, 194 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 1: it's more about how the guy handles himself and prepares. 195 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 1: There's a lot of talented guys go different teams and 196 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 1: you hear kind of horror stories at times that they 197 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 1: go in there and it causes you know, some kind 198 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 1: of division, dissension whatever. Maybe it causes issues more so 199 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:50,760 Speaker 1: than helping. I think when a guy comes in with 200 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 1: the right team attitude and prepares the way that like 201 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:54,880 Speaker 1: b Mac has, that actually helps the team, brings them 202 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 1: together more and it really helps the team to go 203 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 1: ahead and play more as a unit. I thought last 204 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 1: week defensively, that's something we did and we played as 205 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 1: a unit, and be honest with that's something b Mack 206 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 1: had mentioned. You know, we're talking as a team and 207 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 1: talking with the players. It's something he brought up in 208 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:08,840 Speaker 1: terms of, you know, what was valuable to him as 209 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 1: the defense is being part of a unit. You know, 210 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 1: now he hadn't been with us for anything about a week, 211 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 1: but obviously you know, he prepared last week, got in 212 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:18,960 Speaker 1: the game, makes place for us on Monday night for 213 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 1: a lot of your guys, do you since it's a 214 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 1: big deal, like, hey, we got a chance to show 215 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 1: everybody what we're really made of, and do you have 216 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 1: to worry about them making it too much of a 217 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,559 Speaker 1: big deal. I haven't really sensed much of that, to 218 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 1: be honest with you. We haven't made too big a 219 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:36,319 Speaker 1: deal of the fact that it's Monday night or Sunday 220 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,120 Speaker 1: night at four o'clock or one o'clock. I mean, I 221 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 1: think the thing you have to realize is every game 222 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 1: can be seen anywhere. And at this point, you all right, 223 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 1: every games on TV. It's everything to nationally broadcast. You 224 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:47,560 Speaker 1: get the red zone for all the games on Sundays. 225 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,200 Speaker 1: Everyone's gonna watch Sunday fotball. Everyone can watch Monday football. 226 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 1: I wasnatch Thursday night football, so you know we've already 227 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 1: played Thursday. You know we got Monday. To me, it's 228 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 1: you're just playing a game, you know. To me, it's 229 00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 1: you're playing a game in terms of you know, building 230 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 1: up the time of the game or whatever it may be. 231 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 1: I don't know if that's relevant for how we're gonna 232 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 1: out there and perform. So I think I think ultimately 233 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 1: players like playing on the lights. To be honest with you, 234 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:09,679 Speaker 1: I think they do with think when the lights go on, 235 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 1: guys just naturally like playing in those I like those 236 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 1: environments as well. There's just something about the buildup of 237 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:15,839 Speaker 1: the day that's pretty nice on that. But in terms 238 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,320 Speaker 1: specifically your question about the Monday night, I haven't since 239 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 1: that and we haven't really made a big a deal 240 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 1: about that. One more, I was just gonna asked about 241 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:25,920 Speaker 1: Will Hernandez. He's the one guy who's played every snap. 242 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,319 Speaker 1: He played every stop for his first three years here 243 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,160 Speaker 1: until he got COVID. Just how has he played this 244 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:34,080 Speaker 1: year and how important is that availability. I think Will 245 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:35,720 Speaker 1: took on the challenge of moving to the right side, 246 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:37,559 Speaker 1: which you played in driving his career in the left side, 247 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 1: and that's, you know, that's something he had to really, 248 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 1: you know, go ahead and get used to. When he's 249 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,679 Speaker 1: done a good job, he's really embraced he's excelled at it. 250 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,480 Speaker 1: Where's made a lot of improvement for it. You know. 251 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 1: I think him being on the field for every snap 252 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 1: comes into a lot of things. But I think one 253 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 1: thing is you look at the way he worked in 254 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,080 Speaker 1: the off season, the prep work he did, you know, 255 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,600 Speaker 1: how he really worked on changing his body and improving 256 00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,559 Speaker 1: a lot of things that's carried over this year. He's 257 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 1: been a really good player for us. He's given us 258 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:02,440 Speaker 1: a lot of leadership. You know, Well is not the 259 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 1: most vocal. He can be vocal, but he's not a chatterbox. 260 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 1: He's not just running around just saying things to say. 261 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 1: When he speaks up, they listen and then you know, 262 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 1: they really go ahead and they take on more from 263 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,720 Speaker 1: just how he approaches practice and how he goes about 264 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 1: it throughout the duration of day. And he's done a 265 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:16,200 Speaker 1: good job for us.
