1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:02,520
Speaker 1: Hey, Brian, how you doing good? Pat? How are you

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:06,640
Speaker 1: doing well? Um? It's fun to do. If you don't mind,

3
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:09,079
Speaker 1: take you back to January for a second, when you

4
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:12,880
Speaker 1: when you interviewed for the job in Chicago with the Bears.

5
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 1: Just wondering if you could share, you know, what intrigued

6
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:20,279
Speaker 1: you about that opportunity and what maybe you remember telling

7
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:24,279
Speaker 1: them made you a possible good fit with their organization

8
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 1: at the stage that they were at. That's a long

9
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 1: time ago, Patton. Um, I don't know, I've you know,

10
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 1: I've interviewed at a lot of different places. UM, tremendous

11
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 1: mode of respect for Mr McCaskey and and the people

12
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:39,560
Speaker 1: that were on that call. Um, you know, each each

13
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 1: interview is is always a little bit different. But you know, Um, again,

14
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 1: you're you're honored, you're privileged, you're humbled when you get

15
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 1: those opportunities with any one of the teams. And I

16
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: certainly was. And I know Matt eber Fleus well, I've

17
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: worked with him and I think he's done a fabulous job.

18
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 1: He's an excellent coach. Quick follow on a separate topic,

19
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 1: if you don't mind, Um, did you talk to Ken

20
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 1: Dorsey at all? Since? Uh? Since Sunday or did you

21
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:13,680
Speaker 1: see his outburst and what did you make of that? Uh?

22
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 1: I have I had seen it. Um, I do talk

23
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:19,039
Speaker 1: to a lot of guys, you know, a lot of

24
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:23,040
Speaker 1: coaches around the league. I don't really have any thought

25
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: on it. Kind of a great friend. I think he's

26
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 1: a great coach, UM, and I'd leave it at that. Thanks.

27
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 1: First back, Hey Brian, coming up to an end, the

28
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,400
Speaker 1: end of a four game stretched, do you break down

29
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: the season and quadrants even though it's now a seventeen

30
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:47,040
Speaker 1: game season? Uh, do you evaluate by games or stretches?

31
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: Just curious of your philosophy in that regard. Yeah, that's

32
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: a good question, Bruce. You know we evaluate obviously. UM.

33
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 1: I'd say we look at ourselves after every game. UM,

34
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: figure out some of the things we do well and

35
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: some of the things we're not doing as well. And

36
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: you know, when you have three games in, you know

37
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: you have more sample size to that. But uh, yeah,

38
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,640
Speaker 1: historically we've we've looked at it and you know, here's

39
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,359
Speaker 1: the first quarter of the season, second quarter. Obviously there's

40
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,920
Speaker 1: an extra game. UM, so we're ending up here on

41
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 1: the on the fourth game. Here the of the first

42
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,920
Speaker 1: quarter of the season. Um, and I think you know,

43
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: you learn a lot about yourself when you play, when

44
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 1: you coach, and you know, like I said, we're we're

45
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 1: work in progress. We're still you know, working to improve

46
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,079
Speaker 1: and in a lot of different areas. UM. I think

47
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 1: we've we've done some things well, we've done some things

48
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,079
Speaker 1: we can we can improve on all of us. UM.

49
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 1: So you know, this is our fourth game, really the

50
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: most important game obviously because it's the next one, and

51
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: you know, we try to take things from you know,

52
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: the past, the previous games, and and make sure we

53
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: tighten those things up. Whether they're good or they're they're

54
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 1: not as good as you want them to be, and

55
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: you know, use them when you're preparing for the team

56
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: you're about to play Tom Rock. And I know, I

57
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 1: know you're a fan and a lot of people are

58
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 1: fans of Daniel's toughness. Um. I'm wondering if if you

59
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: keep track of the hits that he takes, the number,

60
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: is there a number in your head that you'd like

61
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 1: to see him where where you'd like to see him.

62
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:21,920
Speaker 1: I'm talking about running with the ball and in the

63
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 1: pocket obviously, And how much of a concern is is

64
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: that building up towards. You know, he hasn't finished a

65
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,679
Speaker 1: season in his career obviously because of injuries. Sure, well

66
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: you never you know, you never want your quarterback to

67
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: take any hits. Um. But I'd say Daniel has a

68
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: unique skill set to in terms of his athleticism, I

69
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: think he's done a good job of of taking care

70
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: of himself when he does run with it. You know. There,

71
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: I would say, there's not a lot of design runs

72
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 1: in there, tom, Um. You know there was a couple.

73
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: There's not a lot of design runs. There's you know

74
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: a fair amount of scrambles. And you know, look, he's

75
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: got a couple of different choices what he can do

76
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 1: when he scrambles um. One is obviously thrown down the

77
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: field if if people uncover. Two is trying to throw

78
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: it away, and three is to make yards. Um And

79
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 1: if he has an opportunity to make yards again you

80
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 1: can tell the quarterback, you know, don't take this hit

81
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 1: or do this, and then they start thinking about things,

82
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 1: and I think Daniels making good decisions, you know, when

83
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: to take off. He's trying to protect himself. Is that

84
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: always going to happen? No, But certainly, you know you

85
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:30,479
Speaker 1: want to eliminate or limit the amount of hits. But

86
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: guys that can scramble and make loose plays cause problems

87
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 1: for the defense in that regard of keeping chains moving

88
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,719
Speaker 1: or making some loose plays. And I'll never take that

89
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: away from him. Paul Schwartz Hey, Brian Hey, Paul Hey,

90
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: um with with with a zas and and and came on.

91
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: First of all, Um, there's no ill effects of them

92
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,479
Speaker 1: playing in the first game, I would imagine and along

93
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: that with with those two guys, did you look at

94
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,159
Speaker 1: that and say, okay, this is this is where they

95
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 1: should have been a month ago, but they couldn't play,

96
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 1: So this is where they are now. You know, do

97
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 1: you kind of judge them on a curve in that

98
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 1: game because of the rust factor and things like that. No, Um,

99
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 1: look when they're when they're out there and they're ready

100
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: to play, they're ready to play. Uh. And you know,

101
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: every player, whether it's an outside linebacker and inside linebacker,

102
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: they have roles to do. Um, how we want to

103
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: play the game. I think those guys are too young,

104
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 1: good players and knowing that it is their first game,

105
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,280
Speaker 1: you know, that's you know they've been out a little bit,

106
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,720
Speaker 1: and that happens with with a lot of guys when

107
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 1: they're they're coming off injury, um, you know, getting back

108
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 1: into the flow of things. But they're two good players.

109
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: Have a lot of confidence in those guys, and and

110
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 1: looking forward to seeing them play this week, you would

111
00:05:55,560 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 1: expect their workload to increase, you know, appropriately as we

112
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: move forward here. Yeah, as I mean as we get

113
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,359
Speaker 1: going throughout the week. That's conversations I'll have with the

114
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: training staff and if there's a target number or you know,

115
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 1: we need a Limitum, we we kind of have those

116
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: conversations throughout the week. Um. So then when we have

117
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 1: our final meeting on Friday evening, we're lockstep in what

118
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 1: we want to do. Yep. Brian's on lady. Hey, Brian's uh,

119
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: you said yesterday the Cowboys did a good job blocking you,

120
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 1: which obviously is a you know, one game thing. But

121
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 1: here as you go towards the Bears, we know winks

122
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: thing is blitzing. But I looked at the Cowboys and

123
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 1: they got ten pressures on you guys, which just four

124
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: man rushes. So, like, how much does your pass rush

125
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: need to get home besides the defensive backs coming, Like

126
00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: how much do your core pass rushers need to get

127
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 1: home to really disrupt the quarterback moving forward. I just

128
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 1: say whatever whatever play call or defense that we we

129
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: call that Wink calls that, you know, we expect you

130
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 1: know them to perform what their responsibility is and um,

131
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 1: you know, do what's asked of him, whether that's rush,

132
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: whether that's cover, whether that's fit a gap. Um, you

133
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 1: know that's team defense. And then one more here changing gears.

134
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 1: What kind of opportunity could be here? I know they

135
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:33,679
Speaker 1: don't necessarily play the same X Y F position and receiver,

136
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 1: but Chep's out wand Dale's out. What kind of opportunity

137
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: could it be for Darius Layton? And how has he

138
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 1: handled his diminished role so far? Yeah, slave has been

139
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 1: a slave has been a pro. Um. You know, all

140
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 1: those guys will be out there working this week and

141
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 1: you know we'll try to put him in the best

142
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 1: positions we can. But he's been a pro and he'll

143
00:07:53,560 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: be ready to go. Thank you. Yeah, I'm talking Hey Brian, curious,

144
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 1: where are you guys that health wise at cornerback? And

145
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 1: is that position you think you need to add some

146
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 1: reinforcements out this week? Um? I would say looking at

147
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 1: it here, we could m are any any new injuries

148
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 1: from Monday that are to be concerned about their No, No,

149
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: we're pretty much status quo. I would say that guys

150
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:34,679
Speaker 1: that will be you know limited today or you know again,

151
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: we're doing a little bit of a uh, we're doing

152
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: a walk through more than we are a practice relative

153
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 1: to the short week. But McLeod, Robinson, obviously, shep, Tony Williams,

154
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 1: Uh and flot are the guys we'll see with. We'll

155
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: see with Lane and Robinson. I think they're trending up.

156
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 1: See where they're at by the end of the week. Ya.

157
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 1: Thanks ye Art Stapleton, Hey Brian with UH with Evan

158
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 1: Neil Uh. You know, obviously it was an emotional game

159
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 1: the other night, but he seemed to take it pretty hard.

160
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: And the last couple of months, you know, various people

161
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 1: have talked about how introspective he is, and he takes

162
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 1: the criticism internally and it's very focused on making sure,

163
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 1: you know, he can improve the things that he's getting

164
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 1: wrong as a as a staff or even as as

165
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: the head coach. I know, you look at every player

166
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 1: and you treat your relationships with your players. Is he

167
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 1: the kind of player at a rookie at his age

168
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 1: that you want to pay close attention to this week

169
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 1: when you have a kind of game like that on

170
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:49,680
Speaker 1: Monday night and make sure that he's improving and moving

171
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 1: forward the right way rather than maybe taking it too

172
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 1: hard on himself. Yeah, I think I think you go

173
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 1: back to the evaluation process of you know, the reason

174
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 1: why we selected the player as we selected. Obviously we

175
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 1: thought they were good players with a skill set, but

176
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 1: they also we're good people that had really good intangibles

177
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:09,839
Speaker 1: and character. And UM, I think you talked to all

178
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:13,679
Speaker 1: your players, whether it's a rookie, whether it's a veteran, um,

179
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 1: whether they play great or they probably didn't plays as

180
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 1: well as they wanted to play. Um, there's a lot

181
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 1: of good things that that Evan's done. I have a

182
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 1: lot of faith and confidence in him, and we'll just

183
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 1: keep on working and improving, just like all the rest

184
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 1: of the guys. Thanks ye, Charlotte, Carroll, Brian, you talked

185
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 1: about evaluating different things obviously through a quarter of the season,

186
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 1: and maybe I'll have a better answer for us on

187
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 1: this next week. But I was curious what you've learned

188
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 1: about yourself as a head coach through these first three games,

189
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 1: I'd say that you it's a good question. I haven't

190
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 1: you try to be as consistent as you can be

191
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 1: when you're in this leadership role. There's gonna be ups,

192
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 1: there's gonna be downs. I think you're you'd be honest

193
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: with the players and the staff. I think you have

194
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 1: you know, you build relationships, trusting relationships, because again, the

195
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:22,440
Speaker 1: foundation of any good organization, UM, regardless of what it

196
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 1: is is is the ability to build trust UH with

197
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:29,439
Speaker 1: a group UM. And I've tried to do that. I've

198
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 1: leaned on a lot of people. I've leaned on a

199
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 1: lot of staff members, I leaned on the players. The

200
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 1: one thing is, you know, I don't have all the answers.

201
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 1: I know that, and I lean on people that that

202
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 1: I work with. UM. You know, it's easy, you know,

203
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 1: in the first few weeks, for the first few months too,

204
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: you know, ride a roller coaster. And I've I've really

205
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,439
Speaker 1: tried hard not to do that and be a consistent

206
00:11:55,520 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 1: presence for the people in our building and our organization. UM. Again,

207
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 1: though the relationships, you know, whether it be with Joe,

208
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 1: whether it be with staff members, whether it be with players,

209
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 1: whether it be people in the organization. UM, that matters.

210
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 1: Building that trust matters because I think you're in some

211
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,200
Speaker 1: respect and that goes to the two way street. And

212
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:20,080
Speaker 1: then if you have the RESPECTUM, regardless of you're in

213
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:21,959
Speaker 1: my role or another role, you you learn to be

214
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 1: accountable to somebody. UM. And you know, try to work

215
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 1: as hard as you can improve on, you know, really

216
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,839
Speaker 1: everything you can improve on. There's you know a lot

217
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:35,560
Speaker 1: of things that come across my desk, Charlotte every day

218
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 1: that you know you're not expecting them to come across. UM.

219
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 1: But I'd say that and leaning on the people, uh

220
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 1: that I work with is very important UM. And I've

221
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 1: learned a lot from from them, from the players, the trainers,

222
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 1: from you know, single out l Y Laura Young, but

223
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 1: she's been fantastic, is really UM, She's very very helpful

224
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 1: in a lot of areas UM, Ashley Lynn, Dr. Lonnier, psychologist,

225
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 1: Jesse Armstead, strike staff, the people that work down in

226
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 1: the cafeteria. UM. You know, you try to build a

227
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 1: team atmosphere where everybody's accountable UM. And that starts with me. UM.

228
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 1: But I really appreciate the people in the building, our

229
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:35,440
Speaker 1: ownership group, Joe UM with all the different things that

230
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:38,959
Speaker 1: come up, which which are numerous. And you guys know that, Um,

231
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 1: you think you know that until you're actually sitting in

232
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:45,680
Speaker 1: that seat. UM. And you have a tremendous amount of

233
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 1: respect for the people you worked for before, not knowing

234
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 1: all the things that go along with it. Um. But again,

235
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 1: the culture and our I'd say, our building is what

236
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 1: I'm most thankful for. The people that come to work

237
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 1: every day. I try to be consistent, um, and that

238
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 1: gave everything they have to to build a winning culture.

239
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,959
Speaker 1: We have time for two more. Bob broke over and

240
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,679
Speaker 1: then join it ran on, Hey, Brian, you you were

241
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 1: just talking about accountability and culture and don't I don't

242
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 1: know if you look at what guys say, you know,

243
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: to to the media or whatever, but to a man.

244
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 1: Pretty much after that loss, you had a lot of

245
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 1: guys saying pointing fingers directly themselves for for what had happened,

246
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 1: you know, starting with Evan, but not just not just him,

247
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 1: even Daniels, you know, talking about I can do a

248
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 1: lot of things better after what it looked like a

249
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 1: pretty good game. Do you look at that stuff and

250
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 1: when you see that what they're saying, uh, does it say, Hey,

251
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 1: maybe I think my not your point, but what you're

252
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 1: trying to build is getting through. Yeah. I think that's

253
00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 1: something that you know when you when you get here

254
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 1: and and you talk to guys, and look, everything starts

255
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 1: with me. UM. But you appreciate, you know, you appreciate

256
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 1: whether it's the coaches again, whether it's the players, whether

257
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 1: it's supports, staff, We're all in this thing together, um,

258
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 1: and those guys. We have good, high character people in

259
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 1: our building. UM, And I appreciate that very much. Thank you, hey, Brian. Um. Obviously,

260
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 1: it's been a tough start to the season for Cadarius.

261
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 1: I'm wondering, how like, how confident are you that you're

262
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 1: gonna be able to get something out of him, uh,

263
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 1: you know, this season and soon? And how much is

264
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 1: this his mental state something you have to monitor and

265
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 1: consistently because we see, you know, he's always making comments

266
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 1: on social media, not exactly sure what they're about, but

267
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 1: it seems like they're directed at, you know, the doubters

268
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 1: and people that are taught think about him. Yeah. Well,

269
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 1: I'd say this anytime there's a I don't look too

270
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 1: far down the road, Jordan's Um, I just concentrate on

271
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 1: this week. And trying to get him as healthy as

272
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 1: we can this week, and I know he'll do everything

273
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 1: he can. Um in terms of the social media and stuff,

274
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 1: you'd have to ask him. UM, I don't want to

275
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 1: speak for for Cadarius. Uh, he's doing everything he can

276
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 1: rehab wise, and he'll be out there as soon as

277
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 1: you can. And also just for this week, I know

278
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 1: it's a weird schedule. How are you handling this week

279
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 1: and even into kind of next week because then you

280
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 1: got the London you know, the logistives to kind of

281
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 1: deal with. Yeah, So so today we'll do our we'll

282
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 1: do a walk through. It will be a fairly lengthy

283
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 1: walk through, and then tomorrow will be a normal Thursday,

284
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 1: and Friday will be a normal Friday. And again the

285
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 1: the stuff going forward, UM, I'll just you know, I'll

286
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 1: deal with that when it comes. Obviously, I've I've had

287
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 1: discussions you have to in terms of plan and preparation,

288
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 1: but that's that's really not you know, that's kind of

289
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 1: the off season before the scene starts. I'll the people

290
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:04,399
Speaker 1: that you know take care of those logistics and scheduling, UM,

291
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 1: do their job right now, and I'll try to focus

292
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:07,200
Speaker 1: on this week.
