You got to 75 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 1: do a little bit of research and watch him. He 76 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 1: was certainly a tough player as well, and he's done 77 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 1: a nice job here. Had a few minutes with him 78 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 1: just before I got in here. Smart, you know, it's 79 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 1: a good conversation with him, so wish him well. 80 00:03:58,760 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 2: They got a big game. 81 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 4: Coach, if you could have your game anywhere in the world, 82 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 4: obviously we love it in Germany, but if you could 83 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 4: choose any country to have a game, where would you 84 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 4: have it? 85 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 2: Met Life Stadium? 86 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:19,919 Speaker 3: Yeah, coach, A big part of the Panthers offense was 87 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 3: Deontae Johnson. Obviously he's now been traded to the Baltimore Ravens. 88 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 3: Has that had to change how you've been evaluating this 89 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 3: offense and what you'll scheme up against them? 90 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 2: Yeah. 91 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 1: I think each week when you go into a preparation, 92 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 1: you look at you know, all their players and sometimes 93 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 1: you know they've had some switch of players, guys in 94 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 1: and out. So as a coach, you're looking at everybody 95 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:42,040 Speaker 1: on the roster, each position strengths and weaknesses, see how 96 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 1: you match up against them. 97 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 2: And then you incorporate the scheme to it. So it's 98 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 2: always a challenge every week. 99 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 1: You know, the players are all good in our league 100 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 1: and you're gonna have to do a good job for 101 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,040 Speaker 1: paring and then playing well. 102 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 5: Hey coach, welcome to Germany. 103 00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:57,720 Speaker 2: Thank you.
