1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:04,160
Speaker 1: Good morning, Josh, Good morning Jim. Hey, given the uncertainty

2
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:07,080
Speaker 1: of some of your receivers with injuries and illness, just

3
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 1: wanted to ask you about the progress you've seen from

4
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:11,719
Speaker 1: a couple of your practice squad guys in Christian and Trey,

5
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 1: and how you've seen them, you know, develop over this

6
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:19,880
Speaker 1: course of the season. Yeah, they work really hard and

7
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:22,319
Speaker 1: they put a lot of time and effort into it

8
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:26,640
Speaker 1: in the meeting room. They stay after and make sure

9
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 1: that they're ready to go on our stuff, even though

10
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 1: you know none neither one of them is you know,

11
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 1: currently on the active roster, but they're preparing as if

12
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 1: they are, which is the right mindset to have. I

13
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 1: think they do a really good job of trying to

14
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 1: give the defense a look at the specific styles of

15
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:46,920
Speaker 1: receivers that the defense is going to play that week,

16
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,199
Speaker 1: which is not easy because it takes some studying on

17
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 1: their part to know how the other team runs their

18
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 1: routes and some of the things that those receivers do well.

19
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 1: So and then they always jump in and take some

20
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 1: reps with us, you know, we need them in the

21
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 1: course of the week and they're ready to go. So um,

22
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 1: I really like those two guys. I like their attitude

23
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:11,400
Speaker 1: to like their mindset. I think they're improving, they're fundamentals,

24
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 1: and I know that they'll be ready to go if

25
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 1: we need them. Thank you, even bizarre fault by Chris Ryan.

26
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 1: Hey Josh, how you doing good? Evan? How are you good? Thanks?

27
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: I apologize in advance and we do this a lot

28
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 1: to you. But I wanted to ask you about Max's

29
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: second interception on Saturday night and when he came to

30
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,639
Speaker 1: the line, the Colts were pretty light in the box.

31
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 1: There is third and one play. I was just curious

32
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,759
Speaker 1: if that, if there's an option on the table there

33
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: for Max to get into a running play on a

34
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: play like that, that maybe they're they're so light in

35
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 1: the box and you get that type of look. Not

36
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 1: necessarily in that situation. I mean, look, there's always an

37
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 1: option to if if you want to play an able game,

38
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: there's no question that. I mean, we could, we have

39
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: the ability to do that. But in that situation, that

40
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: was my call. And uh, you know, I looked at

41
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: it a little longer than one. I didn't see it

42
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 1: as third and like a short one, so I looked

43
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: at it more as third and two and call to

44
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: play that I felt would give us an opportunity, and um,

45
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 1: I would say we didn't. We didn't execute it as

46
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 1: well as as we might have liked to. And uh,

47
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 1: you know, Andy made a great play. God, thank you.

48
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 1: My next question Chris Ryan, follow by my maturity. Hey Josh,

49
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 1: how are you good? Chris? How are you good? Um?

50
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: Type of accountability that Bill has and asks of the

51
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: coaching staff, Um, when he says after the game, and

52
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 1: we need to coach better? I mean, how does that

53
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 1: affect you specifically? And is that type of accountability top

54
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 1: down in yourview? M anyway individualized the Patriots or as

55
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 1: opposed to being kind of across the board. Are you

56
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 1: talking about like an individualist to us relative to the league,

57
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: or are you talking about what do you mean by

58
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 1: that when you say individualized? I'm sorry, just kind of

59
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: like coaching across the board. Do you feel like a

60
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: lot of times coaches, you know, we'll blame others as

61
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:19,399
Speaker 1: opposed to say, hey, it's it's me and everybody else downward?

62
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:22,920
Speaker 1: I think that the way we do it, in the

63
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 1: way coach does it is exactly the way it should

64
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,959
Speaker 1: be done. He's right on the he hit the nail

65
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:33,639
Speaker 1: on the head. You know, when you play a game

66
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: in our league and you put yourself in a hole

67
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: like we did the other night, there's never one thing

68
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 1: that is the you know, the sole responsibility for that

69
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: situation being what it was. So, whether it was something

70
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 1: we did in the planning process, was it something we

71
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: failed to coach or correct properly during the course of practice.

72
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: There's something that we could have failed to execute properly

73
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 1: during the course of the game. But you know, football

74
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: is the greatest team sport in the world in my opinion,

75
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: and it takes a lot of people doing the right

76
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 1: things all week long and then again for those three

77
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 1: hours that you're playing the game in order to have success.

78
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: And so when you don't have success, and when you

79
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 1: play as poorly as we did, there's everybody is responsible

80
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 1: for that. And so I always look at it and say, Okay,

81
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: that clearly I didn't do a good enough job at

82
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: what I was trying to get across to my group

83
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 1: that I'm responsible for, and what do I need to

84
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 1: do better next week? And how can I improve on

85
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 1: the way that I helped try to prepare us for

86
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 1: the game. So he's one hundred percent right. We didn't

87
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 1: do a good enough job. I didn't do a good

88
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 1: enough job offensively clearly to score no points in the

89
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 1: first three quarters. I mean, it's really hard to winning

90
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 1: our league doing that. So, UM, I appreciate um the

91
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 1: accountability and the way he holds us accountable to our

92
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 1: responsibilities and our job. And uh, personally, I need to

93
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 1: do better and I will this week. Thanks. Yeah, thanks,

94
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 1: question Mike Charity fall by Andrews killing him. Hey Josh,

95
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 1: Hey Mike, So Mac after the game and then again

96
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,280
Speaker 1: yesterday in the radio mentioned in this. I guess it's

97
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: kind of along the lines of what you were just

98
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 1: talking about a little bit here. Uh didn't think it

99
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: was a great week of practice. And I'm just curious,

100
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 1: as you've been around a million of these, like what

101
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,840
Speaker 1: did you observe? Is that something that you felt during

102
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 1: the course of the week as well as you were

103
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: getting ready for this game? You know, each week's different,

104
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 1: and you know, and and uh, I'm not gonna um.

105
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:55,279
Speaker 1: You know, some people see see things differently. And again,

106
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 1: there's always things in practice that we don't do well. Um,

107
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,280
Speaker 1: that's that's why we practice, you know. So and the

108
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 1: teams that you play present challenges, many times unique challenges

109
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 1: to them that are not always easy to acclimate to, um,

110
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: and so sometimes it takes a little longer to come together,

111
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,160
Speaker 1: you know, during the course of a game week. So, um,

112
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 1: I would I'd never try to, uh, you know, judge

113
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,280
Speaker 1: one day of practice or one week of practice and

114
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 1: say give it a grade or anything like that. We're

115
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:27,679
Speaker 1: always working to try to do better, and we're always

116
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: trying to work to to the to the solution of

117
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 1: every problem that the defense presents to us. So um,

118
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: you know, I always feel like we could practice better

119
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: than what we did because I don't think I've ever

120
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: been around a perfect practice and so um, you know,

121
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 1: to me, regardless of what we thought of, you know, practice,

122
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: each game, we're responsible to put our best performance out there,

123
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 1: you know, during the course of the game. And uh,

124
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 1: we obviously didn't do well enough on that Saturday night,

125
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: And so my focus is going to be on trying

126
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: to have as good a practice days as we can

127
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: here for the bills coming up this week, they're undoubtedly

128
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 1: is a correlation, right between a good week of practice

129
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 1: or a poor week of practice or yeah, I mean,

130
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: sometimes you need to practice, sometimes you need to make

131
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 1: mistakes in practice to get them right for the game,

132
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, there's no you know, like

133
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: I said, it's it's sometime when you're playing a team

134
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 1: that plays a completely different scheme and you're trying maybe

135
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 1: a few things that maybe you put in because you

136
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 1: feel like they're the right things to do. You're not

137
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: always it's not always going to be the first time.

138
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: You know, you first time you get in there and

139
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 1: do it, it's it gonna go perfect. So there's gonna

140
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 1: be some mistakes that are healthy mistakes that you make

141
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 1: each week, and the responsibility lies on the coaches and

142
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 1: the players to make the corrections and then see them

143
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 1: through in the game when they come up. And ultimately,

144
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: if you make a mistake on a Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday,

145
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: and then you see it right on Sunday and you

146
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 1: execute it properly, then the mistake was worth every bit

147
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: of it. And so to me, I kind of look

148
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: at them like opportunities as opposed to, you know, we

149
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: didn't do great. You know, so certainly you want to

150
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 1: practice as well as you can, that's always the goal.

151
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: But you know, whenever an opportunity presents itself after a

152
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 1: mistake is made. Hopefully we correct it, we coach it properly,

153
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: the players understand it, and then we do it better

154
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: the next time it comes up. Thanks Josh, yes sir.

155
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 1: Next question Andrew Kelhan, followed by Bob Souci. Hey, Josh,

156
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: it's good to speak with you. I wanted to ask

157
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 1: just about the process of game planning this week. Obviously

158
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 1: having played the Bills so recently but not used, I

159
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 1: would assume a good significant chunk of your play sheet

160
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 1: from that week, so, you know, beyond assessing your own personnel,

161
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 1: which is obviously different this week than it was three

162
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 1: weeks ago. You know, do you go back to what

163
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 1: you were ready to call that night and go, Okay,

164
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 1: we'll be able to run that again, understanding the Bill's

165
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,959
Speaker 1: defense hasn't undergone wholesale changes, or how do you approach

166
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 1: this week knowing you've still got some material left over.

167
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 1: That's a great question. Um. You know, whenever you play

168
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 1: a division opponent this close together, Um, there's always kind

169
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 1: of a bit of a tuckle work going on. M

170
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 1: you know, because you may have had success with something

171
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 1: and that you go, man, we got to do this again, right,

172
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: But the other team knows you had success with it,

173
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: and so then they try to stop it, and you know,

174
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 1: they may do something different and play it differently, and

175
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 1: then it forces you to make an adjustment too. So

176
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 1: there's kind of a uh, it's like a chess match

177
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 1: which you're with yourself, if you will. UM. In this case,

178
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 1: I would say, you know, there's definitely a starting point

179
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 1: where you go back and say, Okay, these are the

180
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:40,199
Speaker 1: ideas that we had in this area of the game plan. Um,

181
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 1: let's go back through and make sure we feel comfortable

182
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,319
Speaker 1: with these. You know, one our personnel too, you know,

183
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 1: the scheme against what they're doing now as opposed to

184
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,959
Speaker 1: three weeks ago. If it's changed a little bit, um,

185
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 1: and if it's if it's really good fit and you

186
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 1: feel like it's good, then you then you leave it in,

187
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:58,319
Speaker 1: you know. But I think the biggest mistake people can

188
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 1: make is is RelA xing and not going through the

189
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 1: preparation as if this is the first time we've played them.

190
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 1: Like so, I try to get myself into a mindset

191
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 1: of look, I don't care what happened three weeks ago.

192
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:11,679
Speaker 1: I'm going back through and I'm studying the players. I'm

193
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,959
Speaker 1: studying the scheme. I'm studying our game plan and I'm

194
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 1: gonna try to make each decision based on what we

195
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 1: feel this week, not three weeks ago, four weeks ago,

196
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 1: So you know, it's a They're a great challenge. This

197
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 1: defense since Sean's been there with Leslie, has been a

198
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 1: tremendous challenge for us. Every time we've played them. They

199
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 1: do a great job of not giving you exactly the

200
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: same thing, you know, every time you play them, And

201
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 1: when you look at our two game series each year

202
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 1: that we've played against Sean McDermott's group, it's, you know,

203
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 1: there's tweaks and subtle changes that stop things that you

204
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 1: want to do well and then force you to do

205
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 1: something else. And I think that's just a sign of

206
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 1: a great coach, and they certainly have great coaching, a

207
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 1: great staff, and their players are so well connected, as

208
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,080
Speaker 1: I talked about a few weeks ago, that they and

209
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,680
Speaker 1: make those subtle changes and stop something and then it

210
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 1: forces you to make an adjustment as well. So we'll

211
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:07,560
Speaker 1: go in with a plan we feel good about, but

212
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 1: I'm sure as I'm sitting here that there's gonna be

213
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 1: some things that we're gonna have to do on Sunday

214
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 1: to adjust to something that they're doing as well. Thanks Joys. Yes,

215
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 1: we'll try to do two final questions. No follow ups, guys,

216
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 1: just Bob soci and Micreas. All right, Thanks Stacy, Good morning, Josh.

217
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 1: Thanks for your time today. This is a little about

218
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 1: maybe a little bit redundant, and it regards Mike's question

219
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:34,680
Speaker 1: about Max comments and also to your point about coaches

220
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 1: being held accountable. Mac after the game pointed to himself first.

221
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 1: He said it started with me and talked about the

222
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 1: practice last week. I'm curious leadership and accountability. How important

223
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 1: is it in that particular role that he has as

224
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,679
Speaker 1: the quarterback of the offense, And how do you how

225
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 1: did you sess that? How do you gauge that when

226
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 1: you talk to various quarterbacks that you're prospecting in the

227
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 1: run up to a draft, for example, I think it's important. Look,

228
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 1: but he gets more attention than the quarterback you know, right,

229
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 1: wrong or indifferent. You know, those guys are going to

230
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 1: get a lot of the credit when things go right,

231
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 1: and they're going to have to handle a lot of

232
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:13,680
Speaker 1: the blame when you face times of adversity. And so

233
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 1: I know this, there's not many quarterbacks that play perfect

234
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:19,440
Speaker 1: games on Sunday in the NFL. You know, there's a

235
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 1: few that play really damn close to it. But you know,

236
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 1: it's hard to go into a game and play, you know,

237
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 1: a perfect game, you know, all the way through. And

238
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 1: so I think any good leader is going to look

239
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,719
Speaker 1: inward at themselves and you know, and focus on what

240
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 1: they could have done better and what they need to

241
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 1: do better moving forward. I think Mac tries to do

242
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 1: a tremendous job of that for a young person. He's

243
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 1: always very critical of his own performance and encouraging of

244
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:51,079
Speaker 1: his teammates, and so he knows that his teammates are

245
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 1: going to try to fix the things that they did wrong.

246
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 1: He's not focused on that. He's focused on himself and

247
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 1: how to improve because he knows if he improves, it'll

248
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 1: help our team. And controlling what you can control as

249
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 1: always an important aspect of leadership, and Matt knows the

250
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 1: number one thing that he can focus on is, you know,

251
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 1: his work this week, his work going forward, the things

252
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 1: he can do to make himself a better football player.

253
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 1: And I think his teammates respond to that and try

254
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,960
Speaker 1: to do that the same way he does. Thank you, Josh,

255
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:23,560
Speaker 1: appreciate it. Yes, last question Mike ris right, Thanks DC,

256
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,199
Speaker 1: Josh could to talk with you. Thank you, Yes, sir, Mike.

257
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 1: We'll often here. Coach Belichick say nothing's more important than

258
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 1: the health and safety of the players. This week with

259
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 1: specific to Nelson and Nikkiel those two plays, you know

260
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 1: that they knocked him out of the game. I wanted

261
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 1: to ask you from your view as a coach, how

262
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 1: did you view those or what can you share with

263
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,079
Speaker 1: us in terms of where they were from? Just hey,

264
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 1: look those happening, goodheart football plays versus close to that

265
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 1: line of player safety that you know, that's the question. Yeah, it. Look,

266
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 1: the first thing I'd say is is both guys were

267
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 1: doing the right thing. You know, our guys were trying

268
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 1: to come back to the football, which we always try

269
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 1: to teach them to do, and I thought they were

270
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 1: doing a good job of that. Both plays were kind

271
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 1: of bang bang plays. Look, I would never stand up

272
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,319
Speaker 1: here and say that the officials job is an easy

273
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 1: job in those in those plays because it's very difficult

274
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 1: to say did he hit him with the shoulder, did

275
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 1: he hit him with this, did they hit heads at all?

276
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 1: Was it accidental? Was it in purpose was it? You know,

277
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of there's a lot of things

278
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 1: that happened in a short span of time there on

279
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 1: those two plays that certainly, you know, maybe if they

280
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 1: review it, they could say, hey, it was or wasn't,

281
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 1: you know, an illegal hit or what have you. I

282
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 1: thought that Indy wasn't doing anything egregious whatsoever. They were

283
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 1: trying to go for the football and the Keel's case,

284
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 1: and they were trying to make a tackle in Nellie's case.

285
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 1: And you know, it was a hard play, you know.

286
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 1: And obviously I know our league is trying to legislate

287
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 1: some of those hits that are you know, really dangerous

288
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 1: out of the game. UM. And so I we we've

289
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 1: we've tried to always abide by whatever the rules are here.

290
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 1: And I don't think either, like I said, either play

291
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 1: was dirty. I just it was really close. And had

292
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 1: they ruled it, yeah, they ruled it the other way,

293
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 1: I would have said, you know, that makes sense, It

294
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 1: wouldn't have It wouldn't have been egregious to say that either. Um.

295
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 1: But I understood that they were trying to make a

296
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: judgment call on both situations, and um, you know, they

297
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 1: get paid to do that and make those calls and

298
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 1: we live with the results. Thanks Josh, Happy holidays. You

299
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 1: gotta appreciate you guys. Have a merry Christmas.
