<v Speaker 1>Dorio Greenbeckham will will we'll hold him uh from practice,

0:00:15.360 --> 0:00:18.560
<v Speaker 1>still still real sore in that uh oblique area. And

0:00:18.600 --> 0:00:20.599
<v Speaker 1>then big v again he's doing well, but we'll hold

0:00:20.640 --> 0:00:23.320
<v Speaker 1>him from practice. Um, he's still a little bit away

0:00:23.720 --> 0:00:27.560
<v Speaker 1>from from returning. But everybody else Uh Ryan Ryan will

0:00:27.560 --> 0:00:30.960
<v Speaker 1>practice today, Jordan Matthews will practice today, um, and everybody

0:00:30.960 --> 0:00:37.479
<v Speaker 1>else will go Ryan Matthews. No, he's good, he's good

0:00:37.520 --> 0:00:39.120
<v Speaker 1>to play. Yeah, he's good to play well. And again

0:00:39.159 --> 0:00:41.320
<v Speaker 1>we'll find out today. But he's he's cleared and ready

0:00:41.320 --> 0:00:51.159
<v Speaker 1>to go back. There are there are, there are and

0:00:51.280 --> 0:00:53.000
<v Speaker 1>and and then these are things that we talked about

0:00:53.000 --> 0:00:54.800
<v Speaker 1>this these last couple of days and staff, you know,

0:00:55.480 --> 0:00:58.360
<v Speaker 1>getting getting Paul in there. Um, even with Jordan, you

0:00:58.400 --> 0:01:00.400
<v Speaker 1>know coming back. I think it can be a benefit

0:01:00.440 --> 0:01:02.000
<v Speaker 1>to the offense to have both of those guys ready

0:01:02.000 --> 0:01:05.040
<v Speaker 1>to go. So many games this year we kind of

0:01:05.040 --> 0:01:07.840
<v Speaker 1>follow the same temple where you guys getting beyond early

0:01:07.959 --> 0:01:11.360
<v Speaker 1>ten points, fourteen points in the first quarter, um, and

0:01:11.400 --> 0:01:12.880
<v Speaker 1>it kind of takes you out of being able to

0:01:12.920 --> 0:01:16.920
<v Speaker 1>row involved and throwing different times. Any thoughts on why

0:01:17.120 --> 0:01:19.479
<v Speaker 1>you guys keep digging these early hot even out swartly

0:01:19.560 --> 0:01:21.840
<v Speaker 1>sixty five for every three and first four. Why does

0:01:21.880 --> 0:01:25.319
<v Speaker 1>that happen? Well, one, Um, you know it start the games.

0:01:25.480 --> 0:01:27.640
<v Speaker 1>It's a mindset. It is truly a mindset. It's one

0:01:27.680 --> 0:01:29.960
<v Speaker 1>of those things where you know, as as a team,

0:01:30.000 --> 0:01:31.280
<v Speaker 1>you want to come out and you want to kind

0:01:31.280 --> 0:01:33.959
<v Speaker 1>of you know, make the first punch, so to speak,

0:01:34.160 --> 0:01:36.520
<v Speaker 1>or swing first. And you know, we did it against

0:01:36.560 --> 0:01:38.440
<v Speaker 1>Green Bay. We went down and scored, we matched, we

0:01:38.480 --> 0:01:40.480
<v Speaker 1>matched the touchdown for touchdown there and we've done it

0:01:40.520 --> 0:01:42.840
<v Speaker 1>throughout the courses of the season. But we got to

0:01:42.880 --> 0:01:45.759
<v Speaker 1>be a little more consistent offensively too. Um, that can

0:01:45.800 --> 0:01:47.880
<v Speaker 1>also help. And then and then defensively, it's just a

0:01:47.920 --> 0:01:50.880
<v Speaker 1>matter of just you know, working to get off the field,

0:01:51.000 --> 0:01:54.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, try to on third downs, just uh, you know,

0:01:54.120 --> 0:01:57.480
<v Speaker 1>do what we can by scheme, through through the play,

0:01:57.560 --> 0:02:00.520
<v Speaker 1>through a PBu whatever we can to to get off

0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:03.520
<v Speaker 1>the field on third down. Um, becomes a becomes a

0:02:03.560 --> 0:02:05.280
<v Speaker 1>mindset and it kind of sets the tone for the

0:02:05.320 --> 0:02:06.480
<v Speaker 1>rest of the game. If you can do that early

0:02:06.480 --> 0:02:10.560
<v Speaker 1>in football game, do you do you look at the preparation,

0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:13.520
<v Speaker 1>but what you guys are doing somebody morning before jakeof

0:02:13.560 --> 0:02:16.960
<v Speaker 1>you feel like they're mentally ready to go. Yeah, you know,

0:02:16.960 --> 0:02:18.519
<v Speaker 1>obviously I I do look at all that, you know,

0:02:18.560 --> 0:02:20.120
<v Speaker 1>and that's part of part of my job is is

0:02:20.360 --> 0:02:23.000
<v Speaker 1>is the schedule and all. But um, you know, these

0:02:23.000 --> 0:02:24.920
<v Speaker 1>guys are these guys are in a great frame of mind,

0:02:25.000 --> 0:02:27.639
<v Speaker 1>you know on game day and and uh, they're they're loose,

0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:30.600
<v Speaker 1>they're energetic, They're they're ready to go, They're they're focused.

0:02:30.840 --> 0:02:33.880
<v Speaker 1>You see it in pregame and um, you know it's

0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:37.400
<v Speaker 1>it's it's been unfortunate, but something we gotta you know,

0:02:37.720 --> 0:02:40.840
<v Speaker 1>focus in a little bit more. Obviously this week division

0:02:40.880 --> 0:02:44.800
<v Speaker 1>opponent and uh and try to try to strike first

0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:53.040
<v Speaker 1>the liner's sperience to help a person that I think

0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:56.280
<v Speaker 1>the experience can help everybody. Uh, with these last four weeks,

0:02:56.280 --> 0:02:59.160
<v Speaker 1>not just the quarterback position, but obviously with our with

0:02:59.200 --> 0:03:03.040
<v Speaker 1>our backgrounds, we can definitely help help Carson and continue

0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:06.000
<v Speaker 1>to coach and and uh. Um, but I think too

0:03:06.040 --> 0:03:09.720
<v Speaker 1>with with Frank's been on some some great teams. I've

0:03:09.720 --> 0:03:11.760
<v Speaker 1>been on some great teams in the past, and how

0:03:11.800 --> 0:03:14.280
<v Speaker 1>how we practice, how how our work ethic is during

0:03:14.320 --> 0:03:16.320
<v Speaker 1>the end of the you know, this last last four

0:03:16.360 --> 0:03:19.040
<v Speaker 1>weeks of the season become become very important and we

0:03:19.080 --> 0:03:23.440
<v Speaker 1>can lean on those experiences with our guys. You're technically

0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:26.440
<v Speaker 1>still obviously in contention for the playoffs, but in a

0:03:26.600 --> 0:03:31.040
<v Speaker 1>great yeah, yeah, I don't feel it from you guys though,

0:03:31.680 --> 0:03:36.080
<v Speaker 1>I just don't feel it yet. Come on. That being said,

0:03:38.960 --> 0:03:43.360
<v Speaker 1>that being said, Carson, who's on pace to throw high

0:03:43.360 --> 0:03:45.760
<v Speaker 1>amount of pasts for for a wokie quarterback, and we've

0:03:45.760 --> 0:03:49.640
<v Speaker 1>seen how it's affected him, how do you counter going

0:03:49.720 --> 0:03:54.280
<v Speaker 1>for it versus protecting the future of your franchise going

0:03:54.320 --> 0:03:59.360
<v Speaker 1>for it as listen, Yeah, no, it's and that's yeah,

0:03:59.360 --> 0:04:01.720
<v Speaker 1>that's a great question. But I think is this is

0:04:01.760 --> 0:04:03.760
<v Speaker 1>not the time to pull off obviously, you know, we

0:04:03.840 --> 0:04:07.760
<v Speaker 1>got to continue we like you said, we have. We're

0:04:07.800 --> 0:04:10.080
<v Speaker 1>still in the conversation. Even though it's you know, the

0:04:10.360 --> 0:04:12.920
<v Speaker 1>it's it's down there, We're still in the conversation. And

0:04:12.920 --> 0:04:15.560
<v Speaker 1>and uh, four games is a lot of football, you know,

0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:18.080
<v Speaker 1>it's a quarter of your season. And and by no

0:04:18.160 --> 0:04:20.560
<v Speaker 1>means do we want to ease up now? You know

0:04:20.600 --> 0:04:22.280
<v Speaker 1>this is not the time. This is actually the time

0:04:22.320 --> 0:04:25.240
<v Speaker 1>to push forward and and still be aggressive and do

0:04:25.279 --> 0:04:27.559
<v Speaker 1>the things that we uh we did earlier in the season.

0:04:27.600 --> 0:04:29.880
<v Speaker 1>And try to get back to that level of play.

0:04:29.920 --> 0:04:34.040
<v Speaker 1>And um, you know that's the beauty of uh having

0:04:34.040 --> 0:04:36.800
<v Speaker 1>an opportunity. And you know the other thing too, with

0:04:36.800 --> 0:04:39.360
<v Speaker 1>with three out of the next four at home becomes

0:04:39.480 --> 0:04:41.960
<v Speaker 1>uh becomes huge for us, you know, down the stretch

0:04:42.360 --> 0:04:43.839
<v Speaker 1>in hopes of getting to where we want to be.

0:04:44.880 --> 0:04:47.920
<v Speaker 1>Parson is still I mean, is he being effected by

0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:50.800
<v Speaker 1>throwing too much? I don't think so. I think the

0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:52.920
<v Speaker 1>effect is is we have to do better in the

0:04:53.000 --> 0:04:54.440
<v Speaker 1>run game. You know, I've got to I've got to

0:04:54.480 --> 0:04:56.760
<v Speaker 1>do a better job. They're calling calling more runs and

0:04:57.000 --> 0:05:00.440
<v Speaker 1>trying to trying to, you know, maintain or limit the

0:05:00.800 --> 0:05:03.160
<v Speaker 1>number of throws. Again. Um, you know you don't. You

0:05:03.160 --> 0:05:05.440
<v Speaker 1>don't ever want to throw sixty times. Uh kind of

0:05:05.480 --> 0:05:10.960
<v Speaker 1>a recipe for disaster. But you know I don't. I don't.

0:05:11.960 --> 0:05:14.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't have any concern with where Carson. I think

0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:16.080
<v Speaker 1>Carson's right on track and right where he needs to be,

0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:18.600
<v Speaker 1>and any he does an outstanding job every week and

0:05:18.600 --> 0:05:20.320
<v Speaker 1>and that makes it. You know, you look at some

0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:22.440
<v Speaker 1>of the throws he's made. So I don't. I don't

0:05:22.440 --> 0:05:24.440
<v Speaker 1>concern myself with the number of number of throws. Just

0:05:24.440 --> 0:05:26.560
<v Speaker 1>try to limit them if we can. Yeah, you got

0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:28.120
<v Speaker 1>Lane Johnson back in a couple of weeks. You have

0:05:28.160 --> 0:05:29.480
<v Speaker 1>a plan for him to be at it if you

0:05:29.520 --> 0:05:32.440
<v Speaker 1>worked even trying to throw him back in there, well, yeah, obviously,

0:05:32.480 --> 0:05:34.240
<v Speaker 1>and it comes back on a short week too, you know,

0:05:34.279 --> 0:05:37.880
<v Speaker 1>against the Giants in a couple of weeks. But you know, um,

0:05:38.040 --> 0:05:39.560
<v Speaker 1>you got to see where big vs at, you know,

0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:41.839
<v Speaker 1>obviously coming off an injury, hopefully in a week or so,

0:05:42.000 --> 0:05:45.400
<v Speaker 1>and see where that's at. But you know, we're beginning

0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:49.120
<v Speaker 1>the conversations right now. When when he does return. Um,

0:05:49.760 --> 0:05:51.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, uh, we'll have to see, you know, we

0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:53.400
<v Speaker 1>still got two games. We've got to get through these

0:05:53.400 --> 0:05:56.920
<v Speaker 1>two games. See, we'll see how Alan does. But uh, listen,

0:05:57.240 --> 0:05:58.680
<v Speaker 1>you know he was a big part of our our

0:05:58.720 --> 0:06:01.960
<v Speaker 1>success earlier in the season. So, um, I wouldn't hesitate

0:06:02.000 --> 0:06:05.240
<v Speaker 1>to put him back in there. He really hasn't had

0:06:05.279 --> 0:06:06.840
<v Speaker 1>too big of a break from the football. Maybe a

0:06:06.880 --> 0:06:09.279
<v Speaker 1>little bit from June after Mini campus for training camp.

0:06:09.360 --> 0:06:12.560
<v Speaker 1>You do you see any sort of mental fatigue with

0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:15.120
<v Speaker 1>him with him at all? You know, I don't, Um,

0:06:15.160 --> 0:06:17.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, he's also he's played a lot of football,

0:06:17.240 --> 0:06:19.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, coming out of college. Like you mentioned, because

0:06:19.720 --> 0:06:22.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, he's always obviously been in the in the playoffs,

0:06:22.160 --> 0:06:25.039
<v Speaker 1>you know, with his school and and now now playing

0:06:25.080 --> 0:06:28.279
<v Speaker 1>a you know, a sixteen game or at this point

0:06:28.320 --> 0:06:32.640
<v Speaker 1>though you know, a twelve game schedule. Um, I don't

0:06:32.640 --> 0:06:34.560
<v Speaker 1>see the fatigue. I see him. I see him still

0:06:34.560 --> 0:06:37.280
<v Speaker 1>in the building early, he and chasing the quarterback, studying

0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:40.240
<v Speaker 1>the tape, getting himself ready to go. He's still he's

0:06:40.240 --> 0:06:44.840
<v Speaker 1>still doing everything to prepare himself. And I don't see

0:06:44.839 --> 0:06:48.320
<v Speaker 1>that fatigue right now. The players, least off all of

0:06:48.320 --> 0:06:52.600
<v Speaker 1>your comments Monday, they have been great. The players are positive.

0:06:52.640 --> 0:06:56.120
<v Speaker 1>They're um, the players know, I mean, they're players, they understand,

0:06:56.480 --> 0:06:58.599
<v Speaker 1>you know, and and I've been in that chair before,

0:06:58.640 --> 0:07:01.720
<v Speaker 1>and so I get it. And and that's uh. I

0:07:01.720 --> 0:07:04.640
<v Speaker 1>think that's the great thing about having played the game

0:07:04.760 --> 0:07:06.359
<v Speaker 1>is you can relate to those guys and you know

0:07:06.400 --> 0:07:09.040
<v Speaker 1>exactly what they're going through. And we've had great response

0:07:09.160 --> 0:07:16.280
<v Speaker 1>and look forward to a great week. About that conversation, well,

0:07:16.320 --> 0:07:17.720
<v Speaker 1>if you really go back and look at the play,

0:07:17.800 --> 0:07:19.640
<v Speaker 1>you know Carson was ahead of him at that time,

0:07:19.800 --> 0:07:21.440
<v Speaker 1>and and it wouldn't have been a factor because he

0:07:21.480 --> 0:07:22.800
<v Speaker 1>was going to go out of bounds at the time.

0:07:22.840 --> 0:07:26.360
<v Speaker 1>So you know, obviously, you know Zach is he's taking

0:07:26.360 --> 0:07:27.560
<v Speaker 1>a lot of heat for it. But at the same

0:07:27.560 --> 0:07:30.840
<v Speaker 1>time he understands too that um, those those those players

0:07:30.880 --> 0:07:32.640
<v Speaker 1>will come up again, and he knows he needs to

0:07:32.640 --> 0:07:34.400
<v Speaker 1>make one. When you look at the running game in

0:07:34.440 --> 0:07:36.280
<v Speaker 1>the last two weeks, do you feel like you kind

0:07:36.280 --> 0:07:38.760
<v Speaker 1>of got enough out of that position with with Ryan

0:07:38.840 --> 0:07:40.960
<v Speaker 1>being out or I mean obviously you fell behind, so

0:07:40.960 --> 0:07:43.000
<v Speaker 1>you have it, fell behind, so it's hard. It kind

0:07:43.000 --> 0:07:45.480
<v Speaker 1>of gets us out of that mode just a little bit. Um,

0:07:45.680 --> 0:07:47.720
<v Speaker 1>But I like, I like, I like where we're at.

0:07:47.720 --> 0:07:50.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I like, um, I do. I do lean

0:07:50.040 --> 0:07:51.560
<v Speaker 1>on that offensive line quite a bit. You know. I

0:07:51.640 --> 0:07:53.040
<v Speaker 1>talk to him during the week and say, hey, this

0:07:53.120 --> 0:07:54.720
<v Speaker 1>might be the week that we need to you know,

0:07:54.760 --> 0:07:57.440
<v Speaker 1>rush the ball thirty thirty five times, and uh, they're

0:07:57.520 --> 0:08:00.240
<v Speaker 1>up for the challenge. Obviously. Um with the addition of

0:08:00.280 --> 0:08:02.960
<v Speaker 1>Ryan coming back, it definitely gives us depth and a bigger,

0:08:03.040 --> 0:08:05.480
<v Speaker 1>bigger back back there and and hopefully we can get

0:08:05.520 --> 0:08:07.160
<v Speaker 1>back to to running the ball like we did a

0:08:07.160 --> 0:08:10.040
<v Speaker 1>few weeks ago. Having the chance to see one, you know,

0:08:10.080 --> 0:08:12.000
<v Speaker 1>he kind of like to lead back the last two

0:08:12.000 --> 0:08:14.520
<v Speaker 1>weeks and and how he might have done yeah. There.

0:08:14.560 --> 0:08:17.160
<v Speaker 1>You know again, windell Um has has done everything we've

0:08:17.160 --> 0:08:19.160
<v Speaker 1>asked him to do. He's learning too, you know, just

0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:20.880
<v Speaker 1>like a lot of our young players. He's learning the game.

0:08:20.880 --> 0:08:23.400
<v Speaker 1>He's learning how to be patient and the run game,

0:08:23.880 --> 0:08:26.080
<v Speaker 1>using his eyes more than more than his his god

0:08:26.120 --> 0:08:29.679
<v Speaker 1>given ability, which is which is obviously great. Um. And

0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:32.719
<v Speaker 1>and he keeps working every day. And uh, again it's

0:08:32.720 --> 0:08:35.400
<v Speaker 1>a it's a learning process, you know. And you know,

0:08:35.679 --> 0:08:38.160
<v Speaker 1>I was looking just just thinking again this morning. We've

0:08:38.160 --> 0:08:40.520
<v Speaker 1>had five rookies, five drafted rookies that have had a

0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:43.320
<v Speaker 1>lot of playtime this week, and that's that's valuable, that's

0:08:43.400 --> 0:08:47.120
<v Speaker 1>great experience for them. You know, going forward, your conversations

0:08:47.120 --> 0:08:51.040
<v Speaker 1>with Jim Schwartz about how to sort of proceed let's

0:08:51.080 --> 0:08:53.680
<v Speaker 1>him more or not or said you're going to talk. Yeah,

0:08:53.720 --> 0:08:57.600
<v Speaker 1>we talked and listen, you know, we um um kind

0:08:57.640 --> 0:08:59.560
<v Speaker 1>of both agree that sometimes if you if you if

0:08:59.600 --> 0:09:01.640
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna blitz more, you're gonna ask your back end

0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:04.040
<v Speaker 1>to hold up or or whatever. You're gonna give something

0:09:04.080 --> 0:09:06.560
<v Speaker 1>to get something. And and uh, it was a fine

0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:09.280
<v Speaker 1>line there obviously. You know. Going back to the game

0:09:09.280 --> 0:09:11.720
<v Speaker 1>on Sunday, there were there were seventeen pressures in that game,

0:09:12.160 --> 0:09:13.880
<v Speaker 1>and um, you know, we just got to make sure

0:09:13.880 --> 0:09:16.040
<v Speaker 1>that when those are dialed up, we either a lot

0:09:16.040 --> 0:09:17.960
<v Speaker 1>of them can be run pressures as well, you know,

0:09:18.000 --> 0:09:20.520
<v Speaker 1>to stop the run. Others are obviously you know, pass

0:09:20.600 --> 0:09:23.839
<v Speaker 1>pressures to put put pressure on your quarterback. And and

0:09:23.880 --> 0:09:25.360
<v Speaker 1>we just you know, we just gotta listen, We gotta

0:09:25.360 --> 0:09:27.240
<v Speaker 1>trust the process. We're not going to reinvent the wheel.

0:09:27.240 --> 0:09:29.400
<v Speaker 1>We're not going to change, you know at this point,

0:09:29.559 --> 0:09:31.679
<v Speaker 1>just for sake of change. If if it benefits us,

0:09:31.679 --> 0:09:35.079
<v Speaker 1>obviously we will. Um and uh, you know, I trust

0:09:35.120 --> 0:09:37.520
<v Speaker 1>Jim and the defensive staff obviously to uh to have

0:09:37.520 --> 0:09:41.559
<v Speaker 1>a great game plan going forward. First meeting in the Mexicans,

0:09:42.880 --> 0:09:44.720
<v Speaker 1>what stands out a list of what they got to

0:09:44.720 --> 0:09:47.040
<v Speaker 1>stand that you want to change regards to this a

0:09:47.080 --> 0:09:50.400
<v Speaker 1>meeting them up, Well, you know that was Big V's

0:09:50.440 --> 0:09:53.240
<v Speaker 1>first start, and uh, you know, so that was obviously

0:09:53.280 --> 0:09:54.920
<v Speaker 1>one of the one of the things going into the game,

0:09:55.559 --> 0:09:57.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, um, how well he was going to play

0:09:57.720 --> 0:10:00.480
<v Speaker 1>and and uh, you know, protection and things like that

0:10:00.520 --> 0:10:04.319
<v Speaker 1>and no one going down there. Um, you know it's

0:10:04.320 --> 0:10:07.400
<v Speaker 1>a tough place to play. Obviously, UM, felt like we

0:10:07.440 --> 0:10:09.760
<v Speaker 1>had opportunities in the game. We didn't capitalize on a

0:10:09.760 --> 0:10:12.920
<v Speaker 1>few things in the football game, you know, fell behind again.

0:10:13.040 --> 0:10:14.959
<v Speaker 1>Defense we had you know, Malcolm had to pick six

0:10:15.000 --> 0:10:17.559
<v Speaker 1>and kind of kept us right in there. Special teams

0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:19.640
<v Speaker 1>had a big play, you know, So those are those

0:10:19.640 --> 0:10:21.439
<v Speaker 1>are things that kind of kept us in that football game.

0:10:21.440 --> 0:10:23.880
<v Speaker 1>I know, offensively, we have to we have to do

0:10:23.880 --> 0:10:27.600
<v Speaker 1>a little bit better executing our game plan. Just understanding

0:10:27.600 --> 0:10:30.040
<v Speaker 1>it's great to now finally have a home game here

0:10:30.080 --> 0:10:32.920
<v Speaker 1>with them, and UH a great opportunity against against a

0:10:32.920 --> 0:10:37.280
<v Speaker 1>good football team that's that's playing extremely well. Do so

0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:39.880
<v Speaker 1>certainything you can do to help him manage the losing

0:10:40.000 --> 0:10:42.440
<v Speaker 1>something he's not used to, or you talk to him

0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:45.079
<v Speaker 1>about it, the essence any frustration because you know, I

0:10:45.200 --> 0:10:47.760
<v Speaker 1>obviously I was a part of UH, and I mentioned this,

0:10:48.040 --> 0:10:49.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, to the guys. I was a part of

0:10:49.520 --> 0:10:53.120
<v Speaker 1>two teams, you know, in Cleveland we were three and thirteen,

0:10:53.160 --> 0:10:55.320
<v Speaker 1>and then Philadelphia my first year, you know, being five

0:10:55.400 --> 0:10:58.560
<v Speaker 1>and eleven, and and just kind of leaning back on

0:10:58.640 --> 0:11:00.920
<v Speaker 1>those experiences and how I how we fought through, how

0:11:00.920 --> 0:11:05.160
<v Speaker 1>we fought through adversity, how how you know, people try

0:11:05.200 --> 0:11:08.080
<v Speaker 1>to divide the team or or say negative things about

0:11:08.080 --> 0:11:09.920
<v Speaker 1>players or whatever. We just kind of kept that thing,

0:11:10.080 --> 0:11:12.600
<v Speaker 1>kept that thing nice and tight. And so those are

0:11:12.600 --> 0:11:14.440
<v Speaker 1>the things that I can I can lean back when

0:11:14.440 --> 0:11:17.480
<v Speaker 1>you talk about the experience factor. Um, I leaned back

0:11:17.480 --> 0:11:20.040
<v Speaker 1>on those experiences to to kind of just relay to

0:11:20.200 --> 0:11:23.680
<v Speaker 1>Carson how we how we went about our business, you know,

0:11:23.800 --> 0:11:26.520
<v Speaker 1>during the during those following weeks to come and and

0:11:26.679 --> 0:11:28.520
<v Speaker 1>UH kept that team to get a great leadership on

0:11:28.520 --> 0:11:32.080
<v Speaker 1>the team like we do now. And UM, you know,

0:11:32.120 --> 0:11:34.960
<v Speaker 1>it's just UH with him, it's just a matter of

0:11:35.000 --> 0:11:38.000
<v Speaker 1>just you know, keeping keeping him grounded, keeping him level headed.

0:11:38.120 --> 0:11:40.319
<v Speaker 1>He's the leader of this football team. And and he

0:11:40.360 --> 0:11:42.040
<v Speaker 1>doesn't have to do it all himself. You know, That's

0:11:42.080 --> 0:11:44.200
<v Speaker 1>that's the beauty of it. There's there's a there's ten

0:11:44.280 --> 0:11:46.600
<v Speaker 1>other guys on offense, and there's an eleven on defense

0:11:46.640 --> 0:11:49.040
<v Speaker 1>and special teams that have a big part in in

0:11:49.080 --> 0:11:51.760
<v Speaker 1>this whole process. All Right, Thanks guys,
