Just 2 00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:05,360 Speaker 1: just etet me a little bit, just not being able 3 00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:08,520 Speaker 1: to contribute, not being able to help. So you know, 4 00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:11,959 Speaker 1: using that to just attack the rehab and get back 5 00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:12,840 Speaker 1: as soon as possible. 6 00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:15,400 Speaker 2: Does that give you a perspective, a different perspective that 7 00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:18,040 Speaker 2: maybe you can share with guys. I know you see 8 00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:19,720 Speaker 2: it in the film m After, but just watching it 9 00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:20,800 Speaker 2: the way you had to watch it. 10 00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:24,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the kind of the the way I've had 11 00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:28,080 Speaker 1: to attack this. As you know, obviously I'm not out there, 12 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,360 Speaker 1: so from a you know, leadership captain standpoint, I've had 13 00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:34,880 Speaker 1: to you know, have to observe and have to pay 14 00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:36,960 Speaker 1: attention to things that I probably would you know, go 15 00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:39,280 Speaker 1: over my head in the huddle, running in and out, running 16 00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:41,080 Speaker 1: on and off the field and stuff like that. So, 17 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:44,680 Speaker 1: you know, just trying to find ways to attack everything 18 00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:47,159 Speaker 1: how I can and you know, observing and you know, 19 00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,680 Speaker 1: watching and taking note is something that I've had to do. 20 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,239 Speaker 2: How Optisistic argued about. 21 00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:58,600 Speaker 1: Sunday, I'm pretty optimistic.

I think we h haven't really 35 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:35,759 Speaker 1: had a lot of it in the past three weeks, 36 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 1: and that's something that could lead to things going downhill. 37 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,840 Speaker 1: So guys are showing up every single day, putting the 38 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,039 Speaker 1: work in.

We need our best players, 52 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 1: We need our our leaders to show up and play better. 53 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 1: And you know, I take I take accountability and that 54 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 1: on get healthy, so I can show up and do 55 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 1: that as far as you know, leadership vocal wise, you know, 56 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 1: just remind guys of while we're what we're doing, uh, 57 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 1: the how blessed we are, the legacy that we have, 58 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 1: the the chance to leave uh with our the name 59 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 1: on our back plate, and the and the team that 60 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 1: we're playing for. So that's kind of the big thing 61 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,800 Speaker 1: here is obviously in this situation a lot of doubt 62 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 1: and a lot of negativity can creep in. Keeping everything positive, 63 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 1: keeping guys uplifted and keep challenging guys to just raise 64 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 1: their work up another level, uh and looking themselves in 65 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,640 Speaker 1: the mirror and you know, things that can get fix them, 66 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 1: Conversations that need to be have have them. That's just 67 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 1: kind of all I can do right now as far 68 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:08,919 Speaker 1: as leadership until I could get back on the field 69 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 1: and you know, lead with my play. 70 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 2: How much does it help to reset when you're zero 71 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 2: and zero in the division and you got two coming up? 72 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 1: That's st I mean, that's that's this league. Uh, that's 73 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 1: where uh, you know, you can you be in a 74 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:21,919 Speaker 1: spot where you don't wanna be. At the end of 75 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,240 Speaker 1: the day, you're in the division. You accomplish a lot 76 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 1: of things that you want to accomplish. So obviously, uh, 77 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,400 Speaker 1: there's la last three haven't gone our way. We have 78 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 1: a great, great opportunity to go to Houston and and 79 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 1: win a game and then the coach of the next week, 80 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 1: so everything is out in front of us. We have 81 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 1: to keep things in perspective and keep our confidence and 82 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 1: go earn confidence too. So we're definitely uh chomping at 83 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 1: the bit at for this one to get out there 84 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 1: and respond. Uh from Monday night. 85 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 3: Does it feel like this team just kind of needs 86 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 3: that one domino to fall as way and then everything 87 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 3: kind of falls into place. 88 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 1: That's I mean, that's what I mean. When you know, 89 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 1: going to go earn some success, go do it what 90 00:03:58,040 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 1: we have to do to get that success. And I 91 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 1: think that they'll be a there'll be a a remembrance 92 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 1: of who we are, the way we work on what 93 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 1: we're capable of. You know, you get situations like this, uh, 94 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 1: where everything seems like it's going the wrong way. You 95 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 1: know that could you know that can happen, but we 96 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 1: have to go earn that. Uh we're right there. Uh, 97 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,720 Speaker 1: we're right there. Obviously the other night didn't go well, 98 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,919 Speaker 1: but we're gonna flush that. Like I said, in the division, Uh, 99 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,360 Speaker 1: we have every opportunity to go earn everything that we want. 100 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,040 Speaker 2: When you look at the ramifications of this game being 101 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,720 Speaker 2: either one game behind that right there or three games behind. 102 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 4: Uh. 103 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 5: Do does this. 104 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,159 Speaker 2: Game in any way have a now and never feel. 105 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 1: To it for the players? 106 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:38,600 Speaker 4: Uh? 107 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 1: Honestly, the way we approach games in our division, it's uh, 108 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 1: that's how it always is. We gotta win the division 109 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,720 Speaker 1: and you go underfeed in the division. It don't matter 110 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 1: what's going on outside of that. So we've always had that, Uh, 111 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,279 Speaker 1: and you know this week persist the opportunity against the 112 00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 1: Texans in our division. So that's how we're gonna continue 113 00:04:59,560 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 1: to move. 114 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 2: You've been highs and lows in the league. What's the 115 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 2: balance as a player when this stuff's going on of 116 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 2: trying to make a play, trying to be the guy 117 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,839 Speaker 2: that's make a spark, and then you try so hard 118 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,279 Speaker 2: that you just have balls bouncing off your hands and 119 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:13,840 Speaker 2: things like that. 120 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 1: I mean that's a really deep question. Uh, and there's 121 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,599 Speaker 1: a lot that goes into it. I think it's just 122 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 1: always gonna go back to what I've been saying, earning 123 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 1: our right to have confidence, earning the success to remind 124 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:30,040 Speaker 1: us of who we are. 125 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 3: Uh. 126 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,840 Speaker 1: I think when things are, you know, getting dark, that's 127 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,279 Speaker 1: where you go, things are getting dark? What more can 128 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 1: I do? 129 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 3: Uh? 130 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 1: How much am I sacrificing? There's always there's the aspect 131 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:41,920 Speaker 1: of looking in the mirror as a individual and looking 132 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 1: in the mirror as a team, and uh we've had, 133 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 1: you know, time to do that and now we're moving on. 134 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 1: So we just gotta go earn the right to have 135 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:51,280 Speaker 1: success and have confidence. 136 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,840 Speaker 6: Yeah, we're uh obviously, like you said, short week divisional opponents, 137 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 6: So you gotta take what you can from it and 138 00:05:57,800 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 6: uh move on and focus on the Sunday. 139 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:01,720 Speaker 3: That's the confidence level like of the team right now. 140 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 6: You know, I think guys are just ready, like you said, 141 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 6: to just move on from it, you know, the leaders 142 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,719 Speaker 6: in this locker room, or just making sure that you know, 143 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:14,800 Speaker 6: taking control you know of our each individual rooms, not 144 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 6: only focusing on how we can be better as a group, 145 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 6: but pushing each other as individuals and just being really 146 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 6: harsh with ourselves, you know, especially our great players. You know, 147 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,600 Speaker 6: our good players on this team. You got to play 148 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,159 Speaker 6: better and we all need to step up and you know, 149 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,600 Speaker 6: be able to lead. So it's kind of the message 150 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 6: right now. 151 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,279 Speaker 4: There's this game in your mind, either for you or 152 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 4: your teammates, have. 153 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:38,599 Speaker 3: Any kind of a now or field to work. 154 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,840 Speaker 2: For one your only one game back if you win 155 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 2: or even leaves back, or if you're lost, just im 156 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 2: just wondering. 157 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:49,160 Speaker 6: That ramps up the sense of urgency. 158 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 4: Now. 159 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,159 Speaker 6: I've tried to keep the same mindset of it's big 160 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,719 Speaker 6: because it's the next one. I do understand with where 161 00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 6: we're at as a football team, and I'm just focusing 162 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 6: on us getting better as a football team and just 163 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 6: winning a football game. That's what I want to see 164 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 6: from us, is going out there, starting fast and finishing. Yes, 165 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 6: it being a divisional opponent does put a lot more 166 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 6: I guess weight on it, but It's not something that, 167 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 6: at least me personally, that I'm essentially acknowledging. I'm just 168 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 6: acknowledging that we have another opportunity on Sunday and we 169 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 6: need to win football game. 170 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 2: You just have to play your way out of it. 171 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 2: You individually, but also as a team. I mean, is 172 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 2: there making it too much? In practice? It's is it 173 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 2: all just about Sundays? Now? 174 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 4: Yeah? 175 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 6: I think that's the thing is. You know, we're a 176 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 6: hard practicing football team, probably one of the harder practicing 177 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 6: teams I've been on and been around and seeing. But 178 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 6: you know, all that's great and now, but when when 179 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 6: when the balls set down on Sunday and we're in 180 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 6: between those lines and whistle blows, all that goes out 181 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 6: the window. You know, you're there, you're down, and you 182 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 6: have to win your one on one matchup. And so 183 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 6: I think, yeah, you know, we just need to take 184 00:07:57,840 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 6: it to the field on Sunday and be able to 185 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 6: to X to keep better. 186 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 7: Christian Evanson something very similar about our better players, our 187 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 7: good players, our great players need to kind of take 188 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 7: over and do more because that who originated that? I mean, 189 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,240 Speaker 7: did you guys sit down and figure that out? Yourselves 190 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 7: or is it kind of obvious. 191 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 2: I don't know. 192 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 6: I think it's something that's a little bit more holistic. 193 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 6: You know, I guess around the leaguer of football in general, 194 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 6: so how teams are built. You know, you bring certain people, 195 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 6: certain players, put them in certain positions to excel and 196 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 6: lead the team, and so we all kind of know 197 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,600 Speaker 6: who those players are, and you know, to this point, 198 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 6: you know, it's just hasn't been consistent enough. And so 199 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 6: for those guys, it's just you know, once again looking 200 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 6: in the mirror, being very critical yourself week in and 201 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 6: week out. But also you know, when the opportunities come 202 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 6: to you, you know, while we're out there on Sunday, 203 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 6: you got to make them. You know, it's just at 204 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,559 Speaker 6: that point and it's not go out there and press 205 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 6: and you know, try to go look for the play. 206 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:52,840 Speaker 6: It's just make it when it comes to you. 207 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,320 Speaker 3: Is there a balance between trying to make the play 208 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 3: and not pressing. 209 00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 6: I think it's just you know, having a reaction there 210 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,080 Speaker 6: your mindset. I think sometimes you know, football is a 211 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 6: very visionary sport. You know, you want to visualize yourself 212 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:07,960 Speaker 6: having success, but sometimes it can kind of be like 213 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,480 Speaker 6: overdrive and You're trying to replay what that play looks 214 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 6: like in your head, and then when it comes you know, 215 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:16,160 Speaker 6: you're you're not just fully reacting to the to the play. 216 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,679 Speaker 6: And so I think that's why football, you know, you 217 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:20,680 Speaker 6: just played at his best when you're just out there reacting. 218 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 6: You're out there playing. So just got to get back 219 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 6: to playing free, going out there and playing fast and 220 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:27,440 Speaker 6: you know, just not thinking too much a. 221 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 4: Lot of rhythm. 222 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:32,079 Speaker 2: Are you not playing in December and January? Or it's 223 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 2: in a little camp. They weren't too involved in the 224 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,120 Speaker 2: first couple of games. Do you are you out of 225 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,440 Speaker 2: rythm Are you a little uncomfortable out there at times? 226 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 4: Not at all. 227 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 6: I'm very confident and you know what I want to do, 228 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 6: and so you know, I understand the first two games. 229 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,319 Speaker 6: You know, we're definitely a little bit more rough. You know, 230 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 6: I thought Monday night I got a little bit more 231 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 6: of a rhythm. And so it's football, man. You know 232 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 6: you're gonna go through ups and downs. But I'm never 233 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 6: gonna lose my confidence. And you know, I'm just excited 234 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,559 Speaker 6: to get back out for another opportunity get better. 235 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 2: You just feel good to get those eight I mean, 236 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:03,839 Speaker 2: to get involved. 237 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:04,559 Speaker 3: The way you did for sure. 238 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 6: Yeah, definitely felt you know better, you know, just just 239 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 6: going out there making plays. You know, My whole thing 240 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 6: and the reason why I was about here is to 241 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,400 Speaker 6: help win football games. Obviously we're not doing that, you know, 242 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 6: but just being able to get provided the opportunities to 243 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,600 Speaker 6: be able to go out there and do that, you 244 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:21,600 Speaker 6: know it Definitely it feels a little better and just 245 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:22,439 Speaker 6: you know, build. 246 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 3: Off of that. Does it kind of feel like this 247 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 3: team just needs that one domino to fall its way 248 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,560 Speaker 3: and then everything else will kind of fall into place. 249 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:29,200 Speaker 4: Yeah. 250 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 6: I mean, like I said, it's just it's just winning 251 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 6: that first one. You know, it's just putting it all 252 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,720 Speaker 6: together and winning that first game, and then you know, 253 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 6: we'll see where we go from there. But I think, 254 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 6: you know, winning a football football game, especially in this league, 255 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 6: can definitely provide a lot of confidence. 256 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:43,880 Speaker 5: But for one, it's still earlier in the season. Like 257 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:45,840 Speaker 5: you say, we have Houston coming up this week. This 258 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:49,080 Speaker 5: pops off our division opponent. Opponent play so well for us, 259 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,319 Speaker 5: our number one goal has always been to take care 260 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:55,080 Speaker 5: of our division first. We do that and everything else 261 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 5: kind of triggers in the twest place. So yeah, that's 262 00:10:58,800 --> 00:10:59,600 Speaker 5: that you. 263 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:01,960 Speaker 3: Still see twice last year. How different does he look 264 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:02,839 Speaker 3: at this point this year? 265 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,080 Speaker 5: If at off Uh see they he he's been looking 266 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 5: pretty good. 267 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:05,720 Speaker 7: Uh. 268 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:07,720 Speaker 5: The coaching staff over there, they're doing a great job 269 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:09,640 Speaker 5: with him working things around. They got some players on 270 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:11,600 Speaker 5: the outside. They can make some players as well, run 271 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,080 Speaker 5: good running back to have great players. But for us, 272 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 5: I just feel like we need to focus on ourself 273 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,439 Speaker 5: and uh continuously get better at the things that we've 274 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 5: been missing out on. 275 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 3: How important is it for the d line to get 276 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 3: your stuff to to really I guess wreck their game plan? Uh? 277 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,959 Speaker 5: I feel like it It starts up front every game. 278 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,680 Speaker 5: Uh So if I f if the defensive line is clicking, 279 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 5: then I feel like it's gonna be majority of pretty 280 00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,840 Speaker 5: much a good game for the team in general, just 281 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 5: as long as we rec reckon have it getting takeaways 282 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 5: and things of that nature to help me give our 283 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 5: offense and things that that juice. 284 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 2: How hungry are you guys will take away? 285 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:45,920 Speaker 5: So uh with hunger, it's been three weeks without a takeaway. 286 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,080 Speaker 5: Obviously it's on the defensive side of the ball. We 287 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,719 Speaker 5: know that's key the victory every week and uh, that's 288 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:52,240 Speaker 5: something that we're gonna keep striving to do. 289 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,719 Speaker 2: Foyer likely miss her. 290 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 1: How big of a deal is that, Uh, it's a 291 00:11:58,000 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 1: big deal. 292 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:00,680 Speaker 5: But like you say, uh, it's NFL. So every we 293 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 5: have players, we pay pay pay players a big, big 294 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:05,199 Speaker 5: amount of money to go out there and make plays. 295 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,680 Speaker 5: So that's what guys gotta do. Step up and make plays. 296 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 4: First couple few weeks of the season, and we're working 297 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 4: towards where we wanna be. It's gonna it's not gonna 298 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 4: be perfect, but understanding what we need to get better 299 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 4: recognationally working on those things is the most important part. 300 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 2: Which confidence you in the line in the offense. 301 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 4: Sky, Yeah, Sky, I'm talking to Ezra. 302 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:30,440 Speaker 1: I know. 303 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 4: I brought up the fact that you guys are averaging 304 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 4: over five yards of carry and yeah, kind of His 305 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,559 Speaker 4: response was, it doesn't really matter because we're not doing 306 00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 4: much else, right, Yeah, no, exactly. I mean, it's it's 307 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,240 Speaker 4: knowing what we can do, obviously averaging where we are 308 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,679 Speaker 4: averaging in Russian, but obviously understanding that we are only 309 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:46,839 Speaker 4: three so we still got things we need to work 310 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:48,120 Speaker 4: and own. We still got things we need to get 311 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 4: better at. To a man, everybody in the locker room, myself, 312 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,080 Speaker 4: every everybody in the locker room. So we just gotta 313 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:55,720 Speaker 4: keep our head down and just churst our work and 314 00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 4: just keep working. 315 00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 7: How shocking is the offense. 316 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:06,599 Speaker 4: It's it's very shocking. It's shocking. But I think the 317 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 4: key is to not not staying in that too long. 318 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 4: We gotta we just gotta keep working and just gotta 319 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:14,440 Speaker 4: keep just keep chopping wood and just just tryna f 320 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:16,440 Speaker 4: We just tryna find solutions. So, like I mentioned earlier, 321 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:19,440 Speaker 4: starting faster, I think it'll be something that's huge for us. 322 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:21,280 Speaker 4: Just kind of gets kind of gets us in the 323 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 4: rhythm and it kind of just settles everything down. So 324 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 4: you know, we just gonna keep working. We just gonna 325 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:27,199 Speaker 4: trust to work. 326 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 7: And we can it's change in this league. We can 327 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,000 Speaker 7: we can can change in a hurry. You feel like 328 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 7: you guys are like one play, one drive, one way 329 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 7: and away from maybe flipping a switch. 330 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 4: It's always just that, it's always just it can happen 331 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,120 Speaker 4: just that fast this league. That's I mean, that's kind 332 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:42,439 Speaker 4: of just the way it just kind of the way 333 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:45,040 Speaker 4: it goes in this league. One one one play can 334 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:46,480 Speaker 4: turn into one good half and a good half and 335 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:47,920 Speaker 4: turn it into a good game, and it's a good 336 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:49,960 Speaker 4: game turns into the second of a good game. So 337 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,439 Speaker 4: we just we know what we have in front of us, 338 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 4: and we just gotta put our heads down and work. 339 00:13:54,280 --> 00:14:00,120 Speaker 2: We always can dig too deep for answers sometimes, or 340 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:01,079 Speaker 2: do you just get to play on it? 341 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:03,800 Speaker 4: I don't think it's I don't I don't know if 342 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,440 Speaker 4: you can dig two defer answers, because obviously that you're 343 00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:08,720 Speaker 4: not being realistic if you're just saying, oh, everything's fine, 344 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 4: Because no, everything's clearly not fine. We got stuff we 345 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 4: need to be working on it. We got stuff we 346 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 4: need to be getting better at. But it's just acknowledging 347 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 4: that and understanding that and just putting taking the steps 348 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:18,480 Speaker 4: that we need to be taking the correct what needs 349 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:19,000 Speaker 4: to be corrected. 350 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 5: Is there when you're oh and three, is there a 351 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:25,040 Speaker 5: memory high school college pros that maybe you go to 352 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:26,920 Speaker 5: and you say, hey, look at how we thill ourselves 353 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 5: out of this hole before? 354 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:29,920 Speaker 4: Well, definitely not college. 355 00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 7: Yeah, I forgot to be. 356 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:37,400 Speaker 5: I know Tank said he doesn't even do that, he 357 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:39,120 Speaker 5: just he just prays on it. So I mean that 358 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:43,080 Speaker 5: can also be the answer went to I never heard 359 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 5: of him. 360 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:48,360 Speaker 4: No, I'm joking, but not seriously. I'm sorry. Repeat the question. 361 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, just like when you're in you're owing three. 362 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 5: I mean, is it an experience previously with this organization? 363 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 5: Is it high school? 364 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,200 Speaker 2: Is a college?

So we're a owing three football team 374 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,680 Speaker 4: and and and I think we gotta get to a 375 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 4: point to where we're definitely not embracing that, but we're 376 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:26,480 Speaker 4: understanding that, and we're understanding that there is things that 377 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,520 Speaker 4: needs to be corrected, and we we understand what needs 378 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 4: to be corrected, and it's basically just working to get 379 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:34,560 Speaker 4: it corrected. It's not rocket science. It's not I think 380 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 4: it's sometimes people tend to kind of overthink it a 381 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 4: little bit, but it's it's really not that difficult. 382 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:42,320 Speaker 7: Heaven Christ Evan and Christian both said that it's it's 383 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 7: on our better players are are talented guys to maybe 384 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,840 Speaker 7: make a difference, play better. Do you feel like that's 385 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:50,920 Speaker 7: something that's been s Has it been something that's said 386 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,680 Speaker 7: or just something you guys understand that it's on the 387 00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 7: leaders and the. 388 00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:57,560 Speaker 4: Big top talent. Nothing that's been said.

So there's always a little bit of that. Yeah, 397 00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:17,680 Speaker 4: there's always a little bit of that what. 398 00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:18,400 Speaker 3: Are they uh? 399 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,520 Speaker 2: What are they present for you?
