Sou through through the week, 19 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:09,400 Speaker 2: we'll know, you know, those kind of injuries are going 20 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:11,400 Speaker 2: to be just have to see how they progress. 21 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,319 Speaker 4: Those could be back hands with Stanley et cetera. 22 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,399 Speaker 2: Maybe, Yeah, there is there is hope for that. Yeah, 23 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:23,199 Speaker 2: I would think there'll be some number of those guys back. 24 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:25,920 Speaker 2: You know, how many is up in the air. It 25 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 2: won't be everybody, So we'll have a pretty good handle 26 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:33,400 Speaker 2: on who those guys might be probably as the week 27 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 2: goes on, and we should be in a little better 28 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:38,720 Speaker 2: shape than we were. The good news is we didn't 29 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,679 Speaker 2: have any any new major injuries from this game, so 30 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,360 Speaker 2: that really is that's that's a plus. I mean, that's heartening. 31 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 2: That's good. So we should be in better shape than 32 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 2: we were last game. I mean last game was you 33 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,000 Speaker 2: guys are going to ask the question it was it 34 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,040 Speaker 2: wasn't It was tough. I mean it was. It was 35 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 2: a tough circumstance. It's one of those I don't know 36 00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 2: how many how many games in the NFL have had 37 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 2: that many guys out for a team, so on top 38 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 2: of Namdi. So that's just reality of it. But I 39 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,800 Speaker 2: appreciate the way our guys fought. I thought our defense 40 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:14,920 Speaker 2: played really really hard, really hard, and there were some 41 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 2: big mistakes. You know, there's some mistakes that you know, 42 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 2: some young guys made that that hurt us, you know, 43 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 2: against a good offense, and those guys were you know, 44 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 2: they did a nice job against us, but you know, 45 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:25,960 Speaker 2: there's a lot of there's a few plays out there 46 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 2: that she really shouldn't happen that are kind of young 47 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:33,080 Speaker 2: guy type of mistakes. So they'll learn from that. There's 48 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 2: there's positive in that. And and uh, and we'll get 49 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 2: some guys back. 50 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 5: You mentioned you just said decisions happen to me later. 51 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:45,240 Speaker 4: Are you're talking about personnel lineup changes, decisions and what. 52 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 2: Kind of decision? Oh? Yeah, well, I talk about I 53 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:48,240 Speaker 2: talk about everything, you know. I mean I got a 54 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 2: long list. I got a long list, you know, based 55 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 2: on how the game went. I can tell you that 56 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 2: there's a there's a long list all three phases. But uh, 57 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,360 Speaker 2: it starts with you know, it starts with that. For sure. 58 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 2: You look at you know, how guys did, and where 59 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 2: guys are at, and what you need to do and 60 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 2: who else might need an opportunity, you know, and a 61 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 2: lot of that's with the injuries too. I'm getting guys back, 62 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 2: you know, that'll take some pressure off some guys that 63 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 2: were you know, thrown into a tough spot, did their 64 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:15,919 Speaker 2: best and they'll grow from it. And then scheme wise too, 65 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 2: there's a lot of scheme stuff. We have to look 66 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 2: at a lot of scheme stuff on all three sides. 67 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 2: A lot of scheme stuff offensively, some scheme stuff defensively 68 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 2: as well. That we've got to continue to evolve and 69 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 2: tweak and get better at that we can improve upon, 70 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,240 Speaker 2: I think, and and it's nothing that is not good, 71 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 2: but you know, there's things that we just got to 72 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 2: look at and say, you know, we got to find 73 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 2: some different ways to put our guys in some spots 74 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 2: to be able to make some plays. You know. That's 75 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 2: something We've got to try to manufacture some some things, 76 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 2: you know, And that's what coaches always need to do. 77 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 2: You need to find a way to manufacture some some 78 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 2: success for your guys as much as you can with schemes. 79 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 2: So that's that's a big part of it too. 80 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 5: You mentioned the. 81 00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 6: Young DIY mistakes. I guess if you were in a 82 00:03:58,760 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 6: situation where you. 83 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 5: Have on so many rookies and how do you I 84 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 5: guess style as it being the excuse of youth in 85 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 5: that experience versus just not performing. 86 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 2: Up the stand earth well, I mean it all goes together, 87 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 2: you know. I mean, experience is a big deal. You know, 88 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 2: when you have experienced guys. They've they've been there before, 89 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 2: they've seen things before. You know, they they know how 90 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 2: to handle circumstance. Think guy like Kyle Van Noys. You know, 91 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 2: he's gonna he's gonna he's seen things and he's going 92 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 2: to react to things a certain way, and he's gonna 93 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 2: make some good decisions and and and make some plays 94 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 2: because of that. Other guys, you know, it's your first 95 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 2: time out there, you're seeing it for the first time. 96 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,719 Speaker 2: You know, it's just going a little fast and and 97 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:37,920 Speaker 2: uh and things you end up being a little you 98 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,279 Speaker 2: end up being a step late, step behind. Sometimes Uh 99 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:42,720 Speaker 2: you haad one way when you should be heading the 100 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 2: other way. Sometimes, you know, that's that is part of it. 101 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 2: It's just it's a there's a lot. There's a lot 102 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,159 Speaker 2: going on in in a football game. You put yourself 103 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,360 Speaker 2: in the middle of a football play, it's it's really chaotic, 104 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,839 Speaker 2: you know, and experience helps you make sense of that chaos. 105 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 2: So if I was considering, say that wasn't important, it 106 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,160 Speaker 2: wasn't a factor, it just it wouldn't be right. I mean, 107 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 2: it's real. 108 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 5: Coach, After you spoke yesterday, a lot of the players 109 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 5: for us about accountability amongst the lot room. Are you 110 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 5: sensing there is enough in there going around? Oh? 111 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,239 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean this is this is a very accountable team. 112 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 2: I know I've said it to you guys before, but 113 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:22,839 Speaker 2: this this is a very serious minded, determined team. And 114 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,119 Speaker 2: they take accountability, you know, and they take it hard, 115 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,280 Speaker 2: and they don't make excuses. They don't sit up there 116 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:31,359 Speaker 2: and point fingers. They're not They're not going to be 117 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,480 Speaker 2: you know the heck with this you know, it doesn't matter. Uh, 118 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 2: they it matters. And I know how much I know 119 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 2: much they care because I see how hard they play. 120 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 2: I also see how hard they work during the week, 121 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 2: you know, So we we do talk about that it's 122 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 2: not what you say, it's what you do, you know. 123 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 2: And and they're and they're working hard, and they're and 124 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 2: they're they take responsibility for their mistakes, just like the 125 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 2: coaches do. The coach is the first one to say, 126 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 2: you know, I've got to do better. I've got to 127 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 2: find a way. So that's what I like about our team. 128 00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,359 Speaker 2: That's why I think that we have what it takes 129 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,720 Speaker 2: to to pull ourselves through all this. You know, it's 130 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 2: a tough circumstance, tough start, to the season. At the 131 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 2: same time, it's what we make of it, you know, 132 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 2: And I'm not You can't sit there and say, you know, 133 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 2: all is lost. We just don't, you know. And I 134 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:19,280 Speaker 2: think year after year it's proven that that approach gives 135 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 2: you the best chance to be successful. And we've done 136 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,159 Speaker 2: it before, other teams have done it before. So we're 137 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 2: going to go to work on that and try to 138 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:27,039 Speaker 2: make that happen. 139 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:28,599 Speaker 5: John, what's it going to take you to get the 140 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 5: pass rows show? I mean, I think the last couple 141 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 5: of weeks to wit for you know, some of the 142 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 5: numbers model that has ticked up, but may hasn't really 143 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 5: been something that you guys can knew what to do. 144 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:41,720 Speaker 2: The services. Yeah, it has to be better. I mean, 145 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:43,279 Speaker 2: you know, it's got to be better all three downs. 146 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 2: It's got to be better on a first down too, 147 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:46,840 Speaker 2: you know. Or or you stop the run and you 148 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:48,279 Speaker 2: try to stop the run, and I think we can. 149 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 2: We stopped the run, you know, I thought pretty effective 150 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 2: yesterday when you watch the tape except for two plays, 151 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 2: you know, and that's always what it is. And the 152 00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 2: first run that got out was a straight up, you know, 153 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 2: just aligned defense by you know, a guy that you 154 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 2: know is just learning. And then the other one was scramble. 155 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 2: You know, quarterbacks scramble, so that shouldn't happen. They got 156 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 2: one outside of us for eleven yards. That was the 157 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 2: third longest play, but yet they bleed us for three 158 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 2: and four more than I want. I want to see 159 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 2: those threes be nuns and ones, and I want to 160 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 2: see the fives and sixes be threes. You know. That's 161 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 2: that's what we can detail and just be better, tear off, 162 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 2: better not get not get reached, maybe line up a 163 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 2: little differently here and there. These are all little detailed 164 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,680 Speaker 2: things that we got to keep working on to get 165 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 2: the run game better. But but with that, you've got 166 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,680 Speaker 2: to transition from run defense to pass rush, is my point, 167 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 2: and that's the challenge on first and second down. Okay, 168 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 2: then can we create some pass rush in those situations too, 169 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 2: And when you start sending people, it's good to stop 170 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 2: the run, but also sometimes the ball comes out real 171 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 2: quick and now you're light downfield and you get catch 172 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 2: and run plays. So that's the trade off you have. 173 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 2: But we've got to find a way to manufacture more 174 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 2: pass rush on all three downs. I'd like to see 175 00:07:57,880 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 2: us in third and long a lot more. That's why 176 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 2: I bring up for down because it makes it a 177 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 2: little bit a little bit more, a little easier to 178 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 2: call call the blitzes, you know. So those are all 179 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 2: the things that we're looking at cling. 180 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 7: Yesterday, Teddy Buchanan started the game with the green doc. 181 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 2: Did you did he did it? 182 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 7: Switch to Malachi starts? I think one of your no, 183 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 7: not at all, if Teddy wore at the whole game. 184 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:25,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, Teddy had the whole game. Yeah, Uh, Malachi is 185 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 2: a safety, you know, he was a free safety, so 186 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 2: he was communicating. The safety communicates to the secondary, you know, 187 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:35,440 Speaker 2: the call. Oftentimes he'll he'll get it from the play 188 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 2: caller and get and he'll get out to the corners 189 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,320 Speaker 2: a lot of times, or he'll the safeties have got 190 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:43,319 Speaker 2: to communicate based on formation adjustments a lot of times, 191 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 2: what coverage tool we might be using, because those things 192 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 2: change based on alignments and formations and motions and things 193 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:51,440 Speaker 2: like that. So there's a lot of communication there. 194 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 8: There was somebody that said that Ali was you know, community, 195 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 8: and so I think that's where. 196 00:08:58,600 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 2: John. 197 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:03,280 Speaker 7: You know, not often do people question physicality of the rudes, 198 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:04,560 Speaker 7: but I guess. 199 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:06,079 Speaker 2: With not being able to stop the run, not being 200 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 2: able to run the ball. I think a lot of 201 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:11,199 Speaker 2: people are saying, you know, is there an issue with physicality? 202 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,840 Speaker 7: And when you're watching the tape, do you feel like 203 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:15,079 Speaker 7: there's a physicality? 204 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 2: I mean the result, you know, we're not we're not 205 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,440 Speaker 2: running the ball. We're trying to run the ball. You know, 206 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 2: we're not running effectively. I do. I do think it's Uh, 207 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,200 Speaker 2: there are reasons for that. And it's not that guys 208 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 2: aren't you know, playing with physicality. They're playing with physicality. 209 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 2: There's a lot of there's a lot of physicality going on, 210 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 2: but uh, the result has got to be you know, 211 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 2: we we believe in that. We believe in running the ball. 212 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,079 Speaker 2: We believe in stopping the run. Uh, you've got to 213 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 2: keep people honest. You know, people are gonna we are 214 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 2: going to make it a point to stop your run 215 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 2: at all costs. Then you've got to make them pay 216 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:46,480 Speaker 2: for that. I don't think we've done a good enough 217 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,440 Speaker 2: job of that. You know, with complimentary type plays and 218 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,200 Speaker 2: things like that that have been executed that well, we 219 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 2: just haven't sustained and created a rhythm on offense enough. 220 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 2: We've had now we've scored points in some games, and 221 00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 2: that's that's been good because we've had so many big plays. 222 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 2: But that's not really a rhythm either. So you know, 223 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 2: we're not on the field enough. I mean we're on 224 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 2: the field for forty forty plays yesterday basically that we're executed. 225 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 2: That's way low. We've been between forty and fifty to 226 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,040 Speaker 2: fifty five plays. So that puts a lot of pressure 227 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,319 Speaker 2: on your defense. So that's complementary football. You've got to 228 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,560 Speaker 2: be able to sustain drives, get first downs, get ahead 229 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 2: of the sticks. Same thing on defense. You want to 230 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:25,440 Speaker 2: put them in long yards. We've been in long yards 231 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,319 Speaker 2: and our opponents have been manageable. That comes back to 232 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 2: first down again, first and second down comes back to 233 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:32,959 Speaker 2: running the ball. But it also comes back to the 234 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,600 Speaker 2: complimentary plays off the run. So we got to execute 235 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 2: better and we have to stop the run better. Although 236 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 2: it was better on tape than our thought, and I 237 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 2: think we're gonna be okay with that. I believe that. 238 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 2: And we got to run the ball better, but we've 239 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 2: also got to make people pay for stopping the run better. 240 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,080 Speaker 4: At that point about running the ball better and some 241 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,880 Speaker 4: of the things about looking at kind of everything. I 242 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 4: mean is looking in personal change and maybe on the 243 00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:58,559 Speaker 4: offensive line something you consider. 244 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:01,839 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, everything on the table. I mean as we 245 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,640 Speaker 2: always consider that, we look at it. I'd say it's 246 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 2: a conversation every week. Sometimes it's it's not really a 247 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:11,560 Speaker 2: conversation because you know, you know, you know, you're you know, 248 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 2: when Kyle's healthy, I know he's going to be our 249 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,600 Speaker 2: starting safety, you know, and Marlin's going to be our 250 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,240 Speaker 2: starting nickel. But there are guys that are, you know, 251 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,199 Speaker 2: in that area where they still have to prove themselves, 252 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 2: you know, and those guys are are under consideration all 253 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:27,959 Speaker 2: the time. There are the starters because they have earned 254 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 2: that to a point. But you've got to keep earning 255 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,720 Speaker 2: that and and you've got to keep getting better. You know, 256 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:37,200 Speaker 2: you can't you can't plateau. It can't be. It can't 257 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 2: be like we want to build something and all of 258 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,120 Speaker 2: a sudden it's not getting there as fast as we 259 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,680 Speaker 2: think it should or we envisioned it. If we were, 260 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 2: we were hoping for you to make more progress as 261 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 2: a player, and it's not happening, then at some point 262 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:49,680 Speaker 2: in time, somebody else is going to get a chance. 263 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 2: And that's just the way it should work. 264 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,040 Speaker 3: John, You've talked a lot about getting Jay are ready. 265 00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,240 Speaker 3: He talked hysterday about how it was unfamiliar I guess 266 00:11:58,240 --> 00:11:59,679 Speaker 3: for him to come in as a reserve. But how 267 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,439 Speaker 3: did you he did yesterday with his I. 268 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 2: Thought, I thought he did okay, you know, I mean, 269 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 2: I think he's I just love the guy. I mean, 270 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 2: I love his attitude. He's working super hard. I don't 271 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,680 Speaker 2: think he's one hundred percent back yet, but we sure 272 00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 2: needed him out there with all the injuries and stuff 273 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 2: like that, and I thought he went out there and really, uh, 274 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 2: you know, really fought and really tried to do well. 275 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,559 Speaker 2: So you know, as far as you know the level 276 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:25,840 Speaker 2: of it, you know, I mean, there's there's a lot 277 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,319 Speaker 2: more football in Jai Air, for sure, and that's what 278 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 2: we got to just try to keep pulling out, you know. 279 00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:35,600 Speaker 6: You know, the lack of turnovers, I know it has 280 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,160 Speaker 6: been something you guys talked about, even going. 281 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:39,040 Speaker 4: Back to the all season. 282 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 6: It seems like some of the softer zones that you 283 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:47,839 Speaker 6: run are you liking the I guess how easy it 284 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 6: has looked at times when you guys do run some 285 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 6: of these softer zones that guys are just always open. 286 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, No, I'm not liking it at all. I mean 287 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 2: it's it's zone coverage. I mean, the Texans played a 288 00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:00,680 Speaker 2: bunch of zones yesterday, you know, and and they played 289 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:02,960 Speaker 2: better than we played it, you know, so it wasn't 290 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,200 Speaker 2: as you know, soft, as you said, it wasn't as 291 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 2: much space created. And that's uh. And they and they 292 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,320 Speaker 2: play spot drop zone too and Matt zone just like 293 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 2: we do. They play in both. So I would say 294 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:15,120 Speaker 2: that we got to play the better, you know, and 295 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,560 Speaker 2: we got to react quicker when we do play zone. 296 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 2: We play man. I think we can play man. I 297 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:22,319 Speaker 2: like our man coverage, guys. And we played quite a 298 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 2: bit of man yesterday. We have I see as playing 299 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:29,679 Speaker 2: man in the future, you know, quite a bit. But uh, 300 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:31,840 Speaker 2: there's a little you know, man man is a is 301 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 2: a is a big energy burn. You know. It takes 302 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 2: a lot and you gotta if you want to if 303 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:36,800 Speaker 2: you want to play it a lot, you really got 304 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 2: to be you got to be getting a big pass 305 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 2: rush because you need the ball to come out quick 306 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,720 Speaker 2: when you play a lot of man. So, uh, those 307 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:45,800 Speaker 2: things are kind of complimentary and I think so I 308 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 2: think we got to be you know, some younger linebackers 309 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:49,920 Speaker 2: in there, you know, you start getting the more of 310 00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:53,439 Speaker 2: a feel, younger nickel, younger safety who are playing those 311 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,600 Speaker 2: under these zones. They play a little more tentative because 312 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,400 Speaker 2: they don't have that experience, and they're a little late, 313 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 2: and it looks like it's softer as own. Those aren't 314 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 2: by design, you know, those are those those should be 315 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,560 Speaker 2: matched quicker than they are. And that's what we keep 316 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:08,520 Speaker 2: working on. You know, we keep practicing. That's why I 317 00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 2: say the experience is valuable. You play, you should play 318 00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 2: better every time. And if you don't, then if you start, 319 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:15,720 Speaker 2: like we said, if your plate, you're you're just not 320 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:17,600 Speaker 2: going to be out there. You got to keep getting better. 321 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 2: So that's all the things you're talking about, is all 322 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:23,240 Speaker 2: part of the stuff that that we see as well. 323 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 7: John, If Mark can't play, or is it Cooper rush 324 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 7: or could you consider maybe getting Tyler. 325 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:35,360 Speaker 2: Or something, consider everything, well, consider everything, every part of 326 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,080 Speaker 2: it to try to try to get the win. That'll 327 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 2: be uh. We talked about the next twenty four hours. 328 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:43,800 Speaker 8: After looking at the film on the third reception at 329 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 8: Cooper rushed through. 330 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:47,400 Speaker 5: What did you see from her shot up? Did you 331 00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 5: stop the routies. 332 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,240 Speaker 2: Is that what happened there? Watching time? Well, I mean, 333 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:51,920 Speaker 2: what did you see? 334 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:53,800 Speaker 8: He gave up the route? 335 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I don't know why I haven't talked 336 00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:57,720 Speaker 2: to him about it, but that you know, you got 337 00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 2: to keep running through that ball, no doubt. 338 00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,320 Speaker 7: Well you can tell us home about rush overall and 339 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 7: watching him, how did you think he he handled his 340 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 7: first art? 341 00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:08,240 Speaker 2: I thought he handled it well, you know, I mean 342 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:10,360 Speaker 2: I don't like the result, and I think it looked 343 00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:12,600 Speaker 2: it looked bad, you know, and all those different things. 344 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,200 Speaker 2: I think Cooper would probably tell you that the interception, 345 00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,680 Speaker 2: the late throw interception to Petray Early, that was not 346 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 2: a good one. You know, he bought that one back. Uh. 347 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,680 Speaker 2: The tip ball was kind of crazy, just a crazy play. 348 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,120 Speaker 2: I mean, you know, this one of those years so far, 349 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 2: you know, you got hopefully the odds will come our 350 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 2: way a little bit and you gotta think it's going 351 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 2: to turn you. I think we'll start getting some interceptions 352 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 2: with some crazy plays, you know, some some tip balls 353 00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:42,400 Speaker 2: for touchdowns and all these different kind of things that happened. 354 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 2: That's uh, that's uh, it's going to make us stronger. 355 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,640 Speaker 2: So uh, and then the deep ball won you know, 356 00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:52,840 Speaker 2: I really couldn't put on him. It just wouldn't be fair. 357 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 8: Is that what you kid? 358 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:57,320 Speaker 7: When how many times he'd watched that second l and 359 00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:59,280 Speaker 7: try to be like what happened there? 360 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:03,200 Speaker 2: Float Thy? Yeah? It was It's crazy play. 361 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 7: And I think the question as our getting the most 362 00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 7: is why isn't Patrick Ricark got a I R Are 363 00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 7: you getting close to that where you have to make 364 00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 7: a decision there because yesterday you were preach short handed 365 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:16,240 Speaker 7: in the seconder? Yeah? 366 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 2: Patricard? Yeah, well, I mean, you know, I guess we'll 367 00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,120 Speaker 2: put Pat up at some point in time to talk about. 368 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,280 Speaker 2: But people are like wondering what's going on. It was 369 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,360 Speaker 2: just it was a surprise deal for us. I mean, 370 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,160 Speaker 2: I'm just gonna be honest about it. Okay, that okay? 371 00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,040 Speaker 2: You know, Pat, Pat It just you know, it was 372 00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:33,760 Speaker 2: supposed to be a two to three week injury, you 373 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 2: know when it first happened in training camp and then 374 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 2: he kind of retweaked it and it was supposed to 375 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:40,000 Speaker 2: be another two or three weeks, and the thing has 376 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,280 Speaker 2: just been like it's been a slow it's been a 377 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:44,360 Speaker 2: slow burn. If we hadn't know and it was going 378 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,320 Speaker 2: to be this, we'd have put him on our you know, 379 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:48,960 Speaker 2: the first week, you know, and we'd have had we'd 380 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,080 Speaker 2: had another roster spot. So it's just nobody's more frustrated 381 00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 2: than Pat and uh, and that's been a tough one, 382 00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 2: you know. So we're looking at that, We're looking at 383 00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:00,160 Speaker 2: that to be, you know, the Bears game. I mean, 384 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,040 Speaker 2: that's the one I'm hoping for for Pat. I'm hoping 385 00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 2: for the Bears game. He is too to put it 386 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 2: out there. We'll see if he makes it or not. 387 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,520 Speaker 2: You know, if he makes it, that'd be great. If 388 00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 2: he doesn't make it, then whoever we play after the Bears, 389 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,400 Speaker 2: it'll be that game, you know, That'll be what we'll 390 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,080 Speaker 2: be shooting for. So Pat's a Pat's a part of it. 391 00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:18,119 Speaker 2: It's definitely a factor. 392 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:23,080 Speaker 8: John. I know it's a different season, different set of problems, 393 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:26,040 Speaker 8: But is there anything that defensive side that you can 394 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:29,200 Speaker 8: take from how the defense started fully the last year 395 00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:31,119 Speaker 8: that carried. 396 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:34,320 Speaker 2: Over the Yeah, it's a It's a really interesting and 397 00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:36,639 Speaker 2: good point because and I do feel that way, you know, 398 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:45,520 Speaker 2: I feel like I feel like I feel confident a 399 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:47,879 Speaker 2: little bit because of that, and also because I feel 400 00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,160 Speaker 2: like we're in a better place than we were last year. 401 00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:56,000 Speaker 2: You know, last year there were some real challenges, you know, 402 00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:59,720 Speaker 2: and and we were able to get those things turned 403 00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:02,320 Speaker 2: around fix and I talk about the defensive staff and Zach, 404 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:07,359 Speaker 2: you know, that was that was impressive. And I feel 405 00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:10,680 Speaker 2: like these things that you're seeing right now are more fixable, 406 00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 2: even so after you know, watching it, like it's still frustrating, 407 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,000 Speaker 2: and you know, you put five or six you know, 408 00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:20,320 Speaker 2: rookies out there and at one time and and this 409 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:22,959 Speaker 2: happens when that happens, but a lot of times like 410 00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:27,000 Speaker 2: that happens in defensive football. A lot of times plays 411 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,480 Speaker 2: get made to overcome that and it doesn't really affect you. 412 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:32,360 Speaker 2: So it's not nothing's really perfect, but we've we've been 413 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:36,919 Speaker 2: forced to be a little bit perfect. And so you know, 414 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:40,040 Speaker 2: we've gotta we've gotta get get veterans back on the field. 415 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:43,320 Speaker 2: We've got to find a way to create plays, manufacture pressure, 416 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,879 Speaker 2: get some tip balls, get some balls batted, you know, 417 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:49,359 Speaker 2: step in front of some passes and get some picks. 418 00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,359 Speaker 2: Put pressure on the offense more than we have. And 419 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:53,879 Speaker 2: that's what we've got to be going for with the 420 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:55,480 Speaker 2: players that we put out there, and then the schemes 421 00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:57,560 Speaker 2: that we come up with goes back to this player 422 00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,720 Speaker 2: and scheme conversation. It both goes hand in hand that way. 423 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:05,960 Speaker 6: John, earlier you talked about this kind of just being 424 00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:10,160 Speaker 6: that type of year to this point and just in passing, 425 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:14,760 Speaker 6: but with it going so unexpectedly different, do you feel 426 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 6: have you felt the need to do anything out of 427 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:19,960 Speaker 6: the box, whether it's saying something or doing something like 428 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:23,560 Speaker 6: have you felt just the need to try. 429 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:24,720 Speaker 2: To do whatever. 430 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:28,000 Speaker 6: I guess, even if it's different, to try to stop this. 431 00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,480 Speaker 2: I honestly I have a tough time following the question, 432 00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,760 Speaker 2: you know, because yeah, we do something every second of 433 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 2: every day. You know, we do a lot of things 434 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:43,640 Speaker 2: all the time, and we're working. We're working like crazy 435 00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,960 Speaker 2: because it because it matters so much. So we're doing 436 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:49,800 Speaker 2: different things, different schemes. We're figuring out different ways to 437 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 2: play man coverage, We're figuring out different blitz patterns all 438 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:54,480 Speaker 2: the time, we're looking at our players, we're changing our 439 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,600 Speaker 2: practice schedule up. I mean, even when you're winning, you 440 00:19:57,600 --> 00:19:59,720 Speaker 2: should be doing that because if you don't keep things 441 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:01,399 Speaker 2: moving in this league, they catch up with you just 442 00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 2: like that. So the heck, no, we don't do things 443 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:07,320 Speaker 2: the same way you know, everything's been changing every day, 444 00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:12,080 Speaker 2: Everything changes every year, everything changes every week. It's nothing 445 00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:14,240 Speaker 2: stays the same, you know. And I think that's if 446 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:17,240 Speaker 2: you're gonna be successful in this this league, but probably 447 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,480 Speaker 2: any anything in life really, But I know for sure 448 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,919 Speaker 2: in the National Football League, you better be evolving and 449 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,440 Speaker 2: getting finding ways to do things differently all the time 450 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:29,160 Speaker 2: because it's just so competitive. There's a lot of challenges 451 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:34,640 Speaker 2: out there, you know, and and it's it's it can 452 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,119 Speaker 2: be fixed, it can be corrected, things can turn. You know. 453 00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:40,400 Speaker 2: That's been proven by us and by other teams. So 454 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:42,440 Speaker 2: we know we can do it. We just we're gonna 455 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:44,280 Speaker 2: fight like crazy to do it and come up way 456 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:44,680 Speaker 2: to do it. 457 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,359 Speaker 3: So I imagine you've heard the data on how a 458 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:52,439 Speaker 3: few one and four teams that made the postseason. Is 459 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:54,720 Speaker 3: that something that you guys when talk to the team 460 00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:57,399 Speaker 3: about sort of emphasize the urgency of the week or 461 00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:00,359 Speaker 3: is there no point in talking about it because everybody 462 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 3: already understands the urgency in the week, Or I mean 463 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:04,840 Speaker 3: does that sort of contextingn't matter? 464 00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:08,480 Speaker 2: Well, yeah, that is the context. I mean, that's the reality. 465 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:12,520 Speaker 2: You know. I think I think we're perfectly, perfectly capable 466 00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:14,600 Speaker 2: of doing it, but we've got to become a really 467 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:16,880 Speaker 2: good team, you know, and we certainly weren't a good 468 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,119 Speaker 2: team on Sunday. I mean, we weren't even close to 469 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:21,360 Speaker 2: a good team on Sunday. So now there's a lot 470 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:23,600 Speaker 2: of reasons for that. And that's not like that doesn't 471 00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:26,200 Speaker 2: say that that's all we can be. You know, we 472 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,879 Speaker 2: we were better than that, you know, Sundays before that, 473 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:30,919 Speaker 2: So we need to be a lot better than that 474 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:32,800 Speaker 2: Sunday's going forward. So that's what we're going to try 475 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:36,440 Speaker 2: to do. And and I'm really I'm fired up, and 476 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:39,360 Speaker 2: I'm confident we can do it, you know, I'm I'm 477 00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:42,320 Speaker 2: hoping that, you know, my hope would be four or five, six, 478 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 2: seven weeks from now, you know, the you guys will 479 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:47,960 Speaker 2: look back and acknowledge, you know, some of the some 480 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:51,080 Speaker 2: of the uh, you know, the gloom and doom. But 481 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:53,600 Speaker 2: I get it because that's how it feels to us too. 482 00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:55,520 Speaker 2: So if you're asking me, like, do we have a 483 00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,359 Speaker 2: sense of urgency, it's like, I promise you Child's like 484 00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:03,080 Speaker 2: these guys, all of us have a massive sense of urgency, 485 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 2: and we have had a sense of urgency. It's not 486 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:06,920 Speaker 2: like all of a sudden, like, oh, we better get 487 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,360 Speaker 2: our act together. It's like, no, it's been that way 488 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:12,200 Speaker 2: like every single day, you know, in our building.
