You know 17 00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:41,479 Speaker 1: he's been, you know, obviously playing through a bunch of 18 00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:43,120 Speaker 1: Nixon bumps, like a lot of guys in the league 19 00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:45,240 Speaker 1: are at this point in time. But he's a tough dude. 20 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:47,080 Speaker 1: He never complains. You would never really know anything's wrong 21 00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:51,600 Speaker 1: with him. Is that? And Joe you've you guys have 22 00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:55,040 Speaker 1: seen seven games of Andrew Thomas now at left tackle. Um, 23 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:56,880 Speaker 1: I'm just curious, like, what what is he?

I guess and just 26 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:03,720 Speaker 1: done a lot. Andrews a good guy to build with. 27 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:05,920 Speaker 1: We have a lot of plans long term with Andrew. 28 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 1: He's the kind of guy who want to work with 29 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,720 Speaker 1: both physically all right, and his personality off the field. 30 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:12,440 Speaker 1: So we have a lot of confidence in Andrew, want 31 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 1: to keep working and development going forward. You know, I 32 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,320 Speaker 1: fully expect Andrew to have a very productive long career 33 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 1: in this league. All right. We enjoying being a giant. 34 00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:24,960 Speaker 1: Thanks Dougay Joe follow up on Andrew. Do you think 35 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 1: his confidence has been heard at all about the struggles 36 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,440 Speaker 1: he's gone through? Now? I seem couldn't work every day 37 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 1: with a good ad tude, effort and energy. I mean 38 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,520 Speaker 1: when you see guys a competence issues, normally the urgency 39 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 1: goes down. I see this guy who worked tirelessly every day. 40 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,200 Speaker 1: So no, he's a pleasure to be around right there. Look, 41 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,360 Speaker 1: he's a young player, is still learning developing this league. 42 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 1: There's nothing's gonna be perfect all the time. So we 43 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 1: gotta keep doing a good job coach and bring him along. 44 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,000 Speaker 1: What do you need to do to sort to clean 45 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 1: up some of the mistakes to keep showing up. I 46 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 1: think with any young player it always comes down to 47 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 1: just fundamentals that you can execute your technique at the 48 00:01:56,040 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 1: right time against the speed of the game. Thanks kind 49 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 1: of h o UM. In the last three weeks and 50 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 1: maybe throughout the season, the two minute defense has struggled. 51 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 1: Is there a common thread there? Look, they're all different 52 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 1: opponents and attack in different ways. We've had different personnel 53 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 1: in the field throughout all those games for the most parts, 54 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,679 Speaker 1: some changing parts. Look, we just have to do better 55 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,360 Speaker 1: job of, you know, coaching the situation, executing his players. 56 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 1: Everyone's to raise the level of play. That's something that 57 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 1: we have to work on as a team and I 58 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 1: need to see market improvement going forward. And the other 59 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 1: thing quickly was Graham Dino. It looked like he tweaked 60 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 1: his kicking leg. Did he have kicked last night? A 61 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 1: long one say? Could he have? Yes? Yeah? Grant finished 62 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:43,799 Speaker 1: the game for us. We had no plans and changing 63 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 1: anything we would have done with him differently, so you know, 64 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,639 Speaker 1: we'll see where he's at physically today. Um, but he 65 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:53,360 Speaker 1: kicked really well for us last night. I think Tony 66 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 1: answered that to answer that question time for you. You 67 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:57,640 Speaker 1: can easily see a lot of times with kickers based 68 00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,120 Speaker 1: on their kickoffs, you know, so in terms of the 69 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 1: plan of kicking along field goal, you look at Graham, 70 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 1: the hang time and the distance he had on the kickoff, 71 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 1: I think that kind of shows you where his leg 72 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 1: was at last night. We moved the ball around a 73 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:09,919 Speaker 1: little bit and placed the ball differently, but we asked 74 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 1: Graham to go ahead and bang the ball. He banged 75 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:12,799 Speaker 1: it pretty good, put it deep in the ends on 76 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:14,800 Speaker 1: a good hang time. So you have that answers your 77 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:16,240 Speaker 1: question right there in terms of where we thought he 78 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:21,360 Speaker 1: was physically last night. Okay, thank you, I'm rock Joe. 79 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:25,239 Speaker 1: When when a player has a play like Daniel's run 80 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 1: last night that sort of ended ignominiously, Uh, it kind 81 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 1: of takes out a life of its own. That's sort 82 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,520 Speaker 1: of the social media world we live in. Is that 83 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 1: is that any part of your purview to help him 84 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 1: get through that part of it? Um, and and and 85 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 1: what you saw on that plane, Look, I thought he 86 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 1: made a nice run. I mean, look, we'd like him 87 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 1: to stay up and finish it, he stumbled. I mean 88 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 1: that's something you don't want to happen. Look internally, I 89 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 1: would be something you know, eventually be able to laugh about. 90 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 1: Right now, you know, correct some techniques and things. I 91 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 1: thought Jason made a good call at the right time. 92 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 1: Danny did a good job on the mesh up as 93 00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,839 Speaker 1: far as hiding that thing, disguising and pulling it made 94 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 1: a all nice run to get down. There is a 95 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 1: huge game for the team put in position to score, 96 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 1: and the team capitalized on it. In terms of the 97 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 1: social media part of it right there, I mean, look, 98 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 1: the internet is undefeated. I mean there's there's funny things 99 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 1: all over the place. You just gotta have a sense 100 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 1: of humor and when someone sends you something shows you 101 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 1: something you have be willing to laugh at yourself sometimes. 102 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 1: And then, um, your next game is a day before 103 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 1: the trade deadline? Um, how does that affect? How does 104 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,040 Speaker 1: last night's game, I guess affect what you're gonna do 105 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 1: in the next ten days leading up to that. Yeah, 106 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 1: we haven't really having too many conversations as of yet 107 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 1: as far as how that would affect anything right there. 108 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 1: So you know, our focus right now with this long 109 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,279 Speaker 1: weekend is just reviewing we've done the first half of 110 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 1: the season, coaching and playing, and making sure when the 111 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 1: players come back that you know, we've made some adjustments 112 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,359 Speaker 1: going forward, and that could be something in terms of 113 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,920 Speaker 1: how we practice, how we prepare, you know, techniques were 114 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:50,920 Speaker 1: using with certain players, whatever that may be. We're kind 115 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 1: of treating this a little bit right now like whouldn't 116 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,600 Speaker 1: have buy a week and it's good option for the 117 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 1: players to get you know, physically refreshed, bentally refreshed when 118 00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,159 Speaker 1: they come back on Monday, getting back in the ball 119 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 1: with those guys. Of course, Hey Joe, I got a couple. 120 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 1: I got a couple for you. Number one. When you 121 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,720 Speaker 1: looked at the Evan Ingram play the drop near the 122 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 1: end of the game about the two minute warning, Um, 123 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 1: did you think you should have caught the ball? And 124 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,480 Speaker 1: if so, is there anything wrong with the head coach 125 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 1: frankly saying I think you should have caught the ball. 126 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 1: I think everyone's got their own style right there, Paul, 127 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,239 Speaker 1: you know to me, I think you know across the board, 128 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:25,360 Speaker 1: it's easy to play money moreing quarterback for a lot 129 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,280 Speaker 1: of people. We expect our players perform in critical situations. 130 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 1: You know, Evan put us in position to be in 131 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 1: that part of the game yesterday. How he performed, I 132 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 1: thought he did a good job. Showing up was very 133 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 1: productive for us. I love the way it comes to work, 134 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:40,039 Speaker 1: repairs and battles. Um. You know, look, we'll address that 135 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 1: internally with how we have to do things. I have 136 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,040 Speaker 1: no complaints on how Evan comes to work, what kind 137 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,160 Speaker 1: of teammate he is, and what he's helping us build 138 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,599 Speaker 1: going forward. Right there. Well, how some other head coach 139 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,600 Speaker 1: wants to handle that, that's on them, Paul Okay and 140 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 1: um a number two just about head coaching coaches always 141 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,920 Speaker 1: say when you're trying to build a team and get 142 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:02,040 Speaker 1: confidence in the team, when you get positive reinforcement, it's easier. 143 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 1: You know, they win and you can point out mistakes 144 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 1: and also point out things they did well. With so 145 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 1: little winning this year, is it make your job harder 146 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 1: to try to get positive reinforcement and build a team 147 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,799 Speaker 1: when there's so much losing that comes as a result 148 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 1: of that. Look, I've always been very blunt and honest 149 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,480 Speaker 1: from day one, So regardless of it's coming off the 150 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,599 Speaker 1: field after a hard practice, coming off the field after 151 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 1: a win or a loss. They're getting the same personality 152 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,720 Speaker 1: and feedback from me regardless. So when you do something good, 153 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 1: I'm a highlight and point out, and you do something wrong, 154 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:32,480 Speaker 1: I'm going to show that the team as well and 155 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 1: make sure we correct it. Everyone has to learn a lesson. 156 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 1: So in terms of trying to use wins or losses 157 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 1: as times the motivat or address players, UM, yeah, to me, 158 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 1: I think you're just consistent on daily basis. You don't 159 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 1: have to wait for the you know, right time to 160 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 1: correct someone in the right time to get motivation from 161 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 1: somebody that he has to be consistent as a coach 162 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 1: every day. So the players know what to expect coming 163 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 1: in and they've been very consistent and very receptive the 164 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 1: entire way as well. Paul, I understand what you're saying. 165 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 1: I've worked for a lot of coaches who have said 166 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 1: in the past, Hey, you're you know, you can correct 167 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:01,720 Speaker 1: more after a win and after a loss you have 168 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,200 Speaker 1: to kind of pick them up and be honest with you. Um, 169 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 1: that's not really my personality. I think you just felt 170 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:08,600 Speaker 1: like it is, and uh, you know, people learn who 171 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 1: you are and they take the corrections as they come. Thanks, 172 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 1: that's time for three more, Ryan Lombardo and Patty Ryan Joe, 173 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 1: can you hear me? I got you, dude. Yeah, you know, 174 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 1: I think everybody breathes a sigh relief when you can 175 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:26,119 Speaker 1: hear me. I just wanted to bomp on rocks question. 176 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,200 Speaker 1: I know you said you haven't had much time yet 177 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 1: to discuss the trade death. Fine, do you expect any 178 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 1: of those decisions? You expect to have an input in 179 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 1: those decisions, kind of like free agency or whatnot with 180 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 1: the personnel. Yeah, We've had great synergy in the building 181 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 1: since I've been here with everybody involved. So we've been 182 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 1: very open and a lot of discussions and talking through personnel, 183 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 1: whether that was free agency or the draft trading camp 184 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 1: with the final cuts. So you know, it's been great 185 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 1: communication across the board. I would expect that to continue, 186 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 1: and you know, we've had a good job working together 187 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 1: as a team. Any moves you do make, and again 188 00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 1: I understand you haven't made any and you don't know 189 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 1: if you will, but any moves you do make, do 190 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,680 Speaker 1: you have to consider what kind of message that sense 191 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 1: to the locker? Room or how that affects some of 192 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,600 Speaker 1: the young guys development. If like say it was an 193 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 1: offensive guy, Daniel, you have to consider the ripple effect 194 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 1: on those moves. You know. I don't know that there 195 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 1: needs to be an assumption that there's going to be 196 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 1: a string of moves anyway right now. I think by 197 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:19,840 Speaker 1: comment a lot of this, you all of a a sudden 198 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 1: you gonna have players kind of anticipating, like what are 199 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 1: we looking to do. I'm very clear with the players 200 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 1: from day one that any decision we make is always 201 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 1: the best interests of the team. Um. So that's something 202 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 1: I've told them from day one. Uh, and I always 203 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 1: reiterate that to him. However, just because there's a trade 204 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 1: deadline coming up, doesn't mean there's gonna be a string 205 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 1: of moves or something. You know, we're gonna have to 206 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 1: look to go ahead and do and flip a lot 207 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 1: of things. So, um, again, we always have personnel's personnel conversations. 208 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 1: We always discussed we're doing schematically as an organization, we 209 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,200 Speaker 1: always make sure we're on the same page. Uh. This 210 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 1: week is no different. Just because there's a deadline approach 211 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:56,360 Speaker 1: and thank you umbaro hey, Joe have two for you 212 00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 1: if you don't mind. Um. Kind of following that same 213 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,200 Speaker 1: train of thought, how do you balance as a head 214 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 1: coach trying to put the best team on the field 215 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 1: for the rest of this year and looking at the 216 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 1: big picture of wanting to continue to build around a 217 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 1: young roster and maybe not give up draft picks or 218 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 1: assets at the deadline. You know, I think part of 219 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,320 Speaker 1: the question you guys ask me every week is, you know, 220 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 1: who do we expect to play at certain positions. I've 221 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 1: been telling you every week anyone at the game is 222 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,560 Speaker 1: going to play. Weren't developing all of our players, So 223 00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 1: that's rotating lineman at different positions where that's getting a 224 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 1: couple of new dvs in to make sure you're an exposure. 225 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 1: Make sure you guys get reps in the kicking game. 226 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:34,560 Speaker 1: You know, we saw t J. Brunson got to the game, yes, 227 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 1: say the first time got that made a real nice 228 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,559 Speaker 1: play on kickoff, went down there and show what we've 229 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,320 Speaker 1: been seeing in practice for you know a time right now. 230 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 1: So we're looking to develop our players all the time. 231 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 1: So to me, we're going out there to be competitive 232 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,080 Speaker 1: and win every game every week. Okay, we're not racing 233 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 1: for some kind of a draft pick. That's not in 234 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 1: our priorities right now. We're trying to go out there 235 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,199 Speaker 1: every week. We're trying to win. That's that's our goal 236 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 1: as an organization in terms of bringing players along. Um. Look, 237 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 1: we're using every player we have right now to develop 238 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 1: for the future. Okay, So we're always thinking about the 239 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 1: future and what we do. But the future includes the 240 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 1: Sunday game come up that week as well as a 241 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 1: long term picture. So the balance is always just how 242 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:12,719 Speaker 1: it works off each other all the time. Anyway, Matt, 243 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,520 Speaker 1: I was just curious also with the Modre Harper of 244 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 1: eight here last night and then they hit on de 245 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 1: Sean Jackson. Just your thoughts on that seeing it on 246 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,840 Speaker 1: film and maybe how you addressed it in internally with 247 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 1: with Modred, Well, we haven't had team meetings yet, so 248 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:28,480 Speaker 1: I had that chance to look at the tape before 249 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 1: addressing with Madre. Um. I talked him in the locker room. 250 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,840 Speaker 1: I'll keep that conversation between you know, me and him 251 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:35,960 Speaker 1: right now. Um, but when you know, we have team 252 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 1: meetings on Monday when the players come back. Anything we 253 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:42,080 Speaker 1: ever have to correct off if we will, best question 254 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,760 Speaker 1: to hear Patty Okay, how are you good, Patty? How 255 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,839 Speaker 1: are you doing today? I'm doing well, thass coach. After 256 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:51,680 Speaker 1: the game last night, Evan understandably was was down given 257 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,640 Speaker 1: his performance. He's had a rough start was year. I'm 258 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 1: just wondering what's your approach and keeping his confidence up 259 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:01,600 Speaker 1: and not letting you know his his struggles manifest inous 260 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,959 Speaker 1: performance will be probably Yeah, I'm not gonna try to 261 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:06,520 Speaker 1: be a psychologist with him, and I'll just let him 262 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 1: know right now. He's an important player for us, makes 263 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:09,559 Speaker 1: a lot of big plays. He put us in a 264 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,440 Speaker 1: position last night to be competitive down the stretch. We 265 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 1: all have to coach better. We all have to make 266 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,840 Speaker 1: plays and execute on the field, you know. To me, 267 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 1: and there's not a player on our team needs worried 268 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 1: about confidence of these you know, questions about confidence issues. 269 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:25,120 Speaker 1: You know, confidence comes from you know, practice, execution and 270 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 1: then in game success. So you know, in terms of 271 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 1: you know, Evan as a player, we have all the 272 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,200 Speaker 1: confidence in him you know possible. So we're gonna keep 273 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:35,079 Speaker 1: giving him the ball, keep making a focal point of 274 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 1: our offense, and uh, you know, we expect him to 275 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:39,080 Speaker 1: keep showing up. And he did a good a lot 276 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:40,319 Speaker 1: of good things for us last night
