Thank you for joining us as always, coach. Uh, 3 00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:10,080 Speaker 1: we'll get to Carolina second. But all this Brady Belichick 4 00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:12,000 Speaker 1: build up and I was like, wait a second, wasn't 5 00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:17,200 Speaker 1: Mike there at Lambo for Farv's return Because we're kind 6 00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:20,079 Speaker 1: of going through legends that have returned to their former team. 7 00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:22,880 Speaker 1: What was that whole week? What was that whole build 8 00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:27,280 Speaker 1: up and and and the game day experience like well, 9 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:29,800 Speaker 1: I mean it was definitely was it was a ton 10 00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:32,680 Speaker 1: going on outside the building. Um, you know, it's it's 11 00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:36,720 Speaker 1: it's something that's uh brings a lot of extra intensity 12 00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:40,879 Speaker 1: and emotion to the game. And really the first time 13 00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:44,720 Speaker 1: we played, uh played bread it was actually up in Minnesota. 14 00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:48,440 Speaker 1: So then then we played later, um, I think it 15 00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:52,080 Speaker 1: was October November, you know, back at Lambo. So yeah, 16 00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 1: it's uh, it's a it's a fun game to compete 17 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:58,600 Speaker 1: in butt a lot of extra emotion going into it. 18 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:00,480 Speaker 1: Did you find that y'all have like a like a 19 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 1: different kind of cat and mouse game? Because he probably 20 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,160 Speaker 1: knew exactly what you guys were gonna do, and I'm 21 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,680 Speaker 1: sure you guys knew exactly what his tells were. Did 22 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 1: that make it a little bit different too, Yeah, there's 23 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 1: definitely there are some things, um, you know, some mannerisms. 24 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 1: You know, he he actually had a couple of checks 25 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 1: in a game there were you know, the dummy audibles 26 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,479 Speaker 1: that that he's set up very well. So I mean, yeah, 27 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,680 Speaker 1: I mean you're definitely go in with a higher alert 28 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,360 Speaker 1: because you know, obviously he knows you know, it knows 29 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 1: you so well and vice versas. So, like I said, 30 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 1: it's a it's definitely a it's a very competitive game 31 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:37,120 Speaker 1: because there's so much familiarity. Coach Carolina is kind of 32 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,199 Speaker 1: anonymous to us. We know that they're very young, Matt 33 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,399 Speaker 1: Rule rebuilding that thing like he did uh here in 34 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 1: Waco with Baylor. What impresses you and what has stood 35 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 1: out from your film study of Carolina? Well, they're definitely 36 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 1: they're young and talented. You know, you look at their defense, 37 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 1: they're they play with with really good intensity. They're doing 38 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 1: the locks a lot schematically, and you know when you 39 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 1: when you look at their excuse me, when you look 40 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 1: at their coordinator, Phil Snowder's you know, he's a long 41 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 1: time coach that's done a lot of different things, and 42 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,239 Speaker 1: so you know you're spend a little more ets of 43 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,359 Speaker 1: time on the scheme. As the point I'm making offensively, 44 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 1: Sam Donald looks very comfortable. You know, obviously they won't 45 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 1: have Christian McCaffrey, but a really good perimeter group. Really 46 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 1: like DJ Moore. I think he's an exceptional player. He'll 47 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 1: be definitely a focus for us. So this will be 48 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,680 Speaker 1: a very very good matchup for us. And most importantly, 49 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 1: they're playing with a lot of confidence. And you're coming 50 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 1: in here at three and now you imagine Donald, does 51 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 1: he look a lot different on outside of the comfortability? 52 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,520 Speaker 1: Does he look a lot different on film like he's 53 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,920 Speaker 1: taking that step in his career. I would say so. 54 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 1: I think like a lot of quarterbacks, and you know, 55 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 1: when you go to a team that struggles and you 56 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,959 Speaker 1: know it's you know, you're playing up hill a lot, 57 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 1: and what it gives him a really good experience that 58 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,839 Speaker 1: you know he definitely can benefit from. You know, he's 59 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,120 Speaker 1: he definitely looks very comfortable in the offense. That that's 60 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 1: something that we've been impressed with. And you know he's 61 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 1: getting the ball out of his hand quicker and the 62 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 1: thing you forget about Samrucino. He's a really good athlete. 63 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 1: He's not only a pocket passer, but he can make 64 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 1: a lot of plays out of the pocket. So I 65 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 1: think he's playing very well. Coach. You think in general 66 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 1: round the league that that teams just give up on 67 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 1: quarterbacks way too quick. You see it, you see it happening. 68 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 1: I think it's um I think when you take a 69 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 1: step back and take out all the you know, the 70 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 1: pressure of the position and the emotion around it, it's 71 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 1: it's a very difficult position to play. And I think, 72 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 1: you know, a lot has to do where the quarterback 73 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 1: is in his development. When when he comes out of college. 74 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 1: You know, there's the college is doing great job schematically, 75 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 1: but they do some things differently, and you know, sometimes 76 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 1: there's a bigger adjustment for some guys than others. So 77 00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 1: I think you just have to take that all into 78 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 1: accountant and it's it's it's it's very challenging when the 79 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 1: quarterback has to play earlier, he may not be quite 80 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 1: ready to play earl or the other part of it 81 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 1: is the is the team might not be ready to 82 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 1: be playing with a very young quarterback. I always thought 83 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 1: that was a component you had to take a close 84 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,480 Speaker 1: look at too, So there's definitely history to support that. 85 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy here on the fan, how much easier do 86 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 1: you think it is coach for a first year a 87 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 1: young quarterback to get better acclimated with the league versus 88 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 1: maybe ten fifteen years ago or is it harder? Um, 89 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 1: that's fifteen years, So that's good. I think I think 90 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:44,279 Speaker 1: it might be who that's I think these guys are. 91 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 1: They have a lot more preparation in the passing game 92 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,679 Speaker 1: because calls games so wide open. So I think you're seeing, 93 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,720 Speaker 1: you know, the reps that these guys getting. I mean, 94 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,360 Speaker 1: even especially if you have a Texas high school quarterback, 95 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,039 Speaker 1: you got you gotta count that into it. His guys 96 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 1: play so much football in particularly the passing game. So 97 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,920 Speaker 1: I think the players in the last you know, ten 98 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,840 Speaker 1: twenty years have had more experience in a passing game 99 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 1: than they did twenty years ago. You know, twenty years 100 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,360 Speaker 1: ago you could you could get a quarterback out of 101 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 1: college that has never been in a shotgun, you know, 102 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,679 Speaker 1: and now it's you know, twenty years later, it's totally flipped. 103 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 1: I mean, up coach quarterbacks is they've never been under 104 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 1: center their whole life until they get the pro football. 105 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 1: So you know, I think the passing game part of it, 106 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 1: there's there, there's definitely more. They're more experienced. Um, the 107 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 1: defenses are you know, defenses going cycles just like offensive schemes. 108 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 1: So you know, pressure today is a little different than 109 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,160 Speaker 1: maybe ten years ago. You don't see as much combination 110 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,160 Speaker 1: pressure today as you did five years ago. So I'm 111 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,479 Speaker 1: just thinking through all the challenges that the quarterbacks have. 112 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 1: But um, you know it's you know, young players didn't 113 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 1: have to play right away ten fifteen years ago. You 114 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 1: know where now you know, if you take a first 115 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,160 Speaker 1: round pick, it you know he's expected to potential to 116 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 1: be on the field, you know, week one. So it's 117 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 1: it's a much younger league than it was ten or 118 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:04,040 Speaker 1: fifteen years ago. So all those things factor for a 119 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,839 Speaker 1: long answer, Hey, well that means well we have thought 120 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 1: provoking question. That's all that means. Right, That's exactly what 121 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 1: it was. Mike McCarthy here every Friday on Sean and 122 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 1: r J, the home of America's team one oh five 123 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 1: three the Fan. Last week we talked about Zeke's unselfishness. 124 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,840 Speaker 1: But Dad came out yesterday and said, look, I played 125 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,359 Speaker 1: on some good teams with some great people. This is 126 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 1: by far the most unselfish group there is that he's 127 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,360 Speaker 1: been around. Not asking you to compare to your other 128 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 1: team's coach, but do you get that same feel about 129 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 1: this group that there's an extra level of unselfishness so 130 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 1: far to start off this year. I definitely for the 131 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 1: start of the year. I mean you can see, you 132 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 1: know this on both sides of the ball, just the 133 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,720 Speaker 1: you know, the way you know, different players are playing 134 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,839 Speaker 1: in different packages and you have to have that. Hey, 135 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,360 Speaker 1: you know, that's what the coaching staff, you know it 136 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,679 Speaker 1: does and that's why they worked ours we worked hours 137 00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,800 Speaker 1: that we do here is that you know, they have 138 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 1: diverse game playing to give us the best chance to 139 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,919 Speaker 1: win on Sunday, and that's given our players, you know, 140 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 1: the right opportunities. So, you know, utilizing these players the 141 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 1: right way and just having a you know, a very 142 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:16,239 Speaker 1: healthy playing throughout multiple personnel groups has been an official 143 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 1: especially with all the injuries that we've had in the 144 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 1: challenges here in the first couple of weeks. So so 145 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 1: with that you need that type of mentality and I 146 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 1: think clearly the players are all on board with our 147 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 1: approach and you know, we're off the good start. We 148 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 1: got got young guys that are playing more than you 149 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 1: would expected, you know, coming out of training camp, and 150 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 1: and I think this will definitely benefit us in the 151 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 1: long run. But you know, at the end of the day, 152 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 1: it's about doing everything we can to beat the Panthers 153 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 1: and uh, you know, and our guys get that. Just 154 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 1: you know, these vetters here want to win. So you know, 155 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 1: we're very young outside of our veteran group, but it's 156 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 1: all about winning. Um, you know, and I think you've 157 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 1: got some individuals that have done very well for themselves, 158 00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 1: but you know, you get to the point of credit. 159 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 1: You know, it's about, you know, getting that championship. Because 160 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 1: he ended day, that's really all that matters. That's why 161 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 1: we're all doing this. Trayvon wins NFC Defensive Player of 162 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 1: the Month. Uh, at what point do you try to 163 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 1: start game planning with teams to go away from him? 164 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 1: Or in the NFL, does it take much longer than 165 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:19,240 Speaker 1: this for other teams to believe that, hey, this is 166 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 1: a guy, he's arrived, we should start staying away from him. 167 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 1: How do you look at that in terms of teams 168 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 1: game planning for Trey Von based upon you know, whether 169 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:33,080 Speaker 1: they think he's he's actually real, real legit. That's that's 170 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:34,839 Speaker 1: the beauty of the game plans, and that's the beauty 171 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 1: of why you play the games, and that's that's what 172 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:39,440 Speaker 1: this is all about, the competition of it. And uh, 173 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 1: you know, nobody's more competitive with Trayvon so um. I 174 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:46,040 Speaker 1: think he'll still be tested. You know, he's in his 175 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,959 Speaker 1: second year. You know, I think clearly he's going to 176 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 1: see more double moves and just because the way he's 177 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 1: been locking people down. So that that's the beauties of Sundays. 178 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,560 Speaker 1: And one thing about this league, you're you're always going 179 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,199 Speaker 1: to be all at some at some level. And he's 180 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 1: still a young player, but well he's off to a 181 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:08,200 Speaker 1: great start. He says he does not participate on social media. 182 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,840 Speaker 1: Saban convinced him it was rat poison. Would you love 183 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 1: that to be a league wide policy for guys not 184 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 1: to have their social media or do you do you 185 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 1: like that they have it rat poison? I think it's 186 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 1: thank you, coach Sabans. I don't know, and I mean 187 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,959 Speaker 1: that's our world. You know, I have I have young children, 188 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 1: I have you know, I have teenage children. So I 189 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 1: I understand it. I mean, it's it's not a world 190 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 1: that a person for take in. But I just think 191 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:44,080 Speaker 1: it's like anything in life. I mean, just if you 192 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 1: do things in regulation, um, it's fine. So it's it's 193 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 1: it's definitely a world that you know, it's a big 194 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 1: part of our business. Do you get the calls on 195 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 1: Sunday night or Monday morning with dad they're saying this, 196 00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 1: you know, I'm hearing this that they're criticizing you for that. 197 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 1: Do you always get those calls or you got the 198 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 1: family policy like don't even bring it to me? Oh yeah, 199 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 1: my kids really don't. Uh yeah, that's that's not really 200 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:12,440 Speaker 1: a conversation, um in our house about social media in sports. 201 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,400 Speaker 1: You know, they're they're a pretty eclectic bunch, so that 202 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 1: they have other artistic interests and that's where you know 203 00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,440 Speaker 1: they spend most of their time. Mike McCarthy joined us 204 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:24,640 Speaker 1: yere one oh five through the fan. Uh is it 205 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 1: is it really week to week with mikel Like what 206 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 1: goes into the decision on where he plays between defensive 207 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 1: end linebacker. Yeah, frankly, all the bob. This is a a 208 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,080 Speaker 1: little bit about what we've already talked about. You know, 209 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 1: different personnel groups. You know, how how do you think 210 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 1: you're you know, you're projected forty eight. Is the conversation 211 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,160 Speaker 1: that you start having first thing Monday morning after the game. 212 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 1: So all those things playing into it. So and you know, 213 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 1: and ultimately the offense that we're playing against, and how 214 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:53,200 Speaker 1: do you want to match people up? And you know 215 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 1: that's all those things. And because you know you don't 216 00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,560 Speaker 1: have eleven starters, you know, especially on defense, I mean 217 00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,719 Speaker 1: you're gonna have you know, fifteen sixteen guys that are 218 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 1: that are that are going to be rolling into the 219 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:07,720 Speaker 1: game easily. So um so all that factors into where 220 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 1: he plays and how much he plays in that position. 221 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 1: Matt Rule was comparing Dak to Peyton and Drew Brees 222 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 1: in terms of his command at the line of scrimmage 223 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,679 Speaker 1: and just recognizing things, no one where to go at 224 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 1: the ball, how quickly he's getting rid of it. You've 225 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 1: you've coached and been around some of the great ones 226 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,840 Speaker 1: in all time offenses, Mike, are you getting that same 227 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,760 Speaker 1: feeling with Dak that this is the quickest he's been. 228 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 1: He's just on top of his physical and mental game 229 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,720 Speaker 1: in terms of understanding the and and you made that 230 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 1: decision I think when you first came here to in 231 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:41,200 Speaker 1: terms of the language, to keep it more comfortable for Dak. 232 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 1: Is he just humming on all cylinders in that aspect. Oh, definitely, No, 233 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 1: I agree with everything you just said. I mean, the 234 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,319 Speaker 1: decision was clear, that made for Dak Prescott. I mean 235 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:54,040 Speaker 1: that was the only point of why I stayed with 236 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,560 Speaker 1: the old language. Um, you know, conceptually, you know, we've 237 00:11:57,559 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 1: had a chance to put things together. I think Kell 238 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,199 Speaker 1: is doing an excellent job. But at the end of 239 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:06,440 Speaker 1: the day, it's about making the quarterback successful. That's how 240 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:10,520 Speaker 1: I view offensive football, and he's the centerpiece and he 241 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 1: does a great job of it. I love his command. 242 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,680 Speaker 1: I think he's off to an excellent startway he's distributing 243 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 1: the ball, being very unselfish and just trying to feed 244 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 1: the ball to all the perimeter guys. So all right, 245 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 1: I agree with the coach role. Should we be worried 246 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 1: at all about the status of Randy Gregory and Tony 247 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 1: Pollard for Sunday? No, I expect both those guys ago 248 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:36,680 Speaker 1: and the final one. Mike. We were talking about this 249 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:40,200 Speaker 1: with Babe Laufenberg. Just in terms of how football is evolving. 250 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:45,200 Speaker 1: We were wondering from a game day operations standpoint, how 251 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:49,559 Speaker 1: many people do you guys have dedicated to clock management 252 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 1: or is it just solely in your hands. Well, we have, 253 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 1: we have a network, you know, we have just like 254 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 1: anything you know, offense, defense, special teams, in the in 255 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,199 Speaker 1: the game management, there's a there's a network of people. 256 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 1: Everybody has a responsibility where their eyes are supposed to be. 257 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 1: And and so when the talk and when you discuss things, 258 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:14,760 Speaker 1: so and I'm very confident and comfortable in our operation. Coach, 259 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:16,839 Speaker 1: Thank you so much for the time. As always, best 260 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:18,720 Speaker 1: of luck on Sunday. We'll do it again next week. 261 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 1: Thank you gentlemen,
