1
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:13,240
Speaker 1: But Andy Wells.

2
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:16,079
Speaker 2: I'm Mike Keith and this is the OTP with Titans

3
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:19,240
Speaker 2: head coach Brian Callahan, presented by Farm Bureau Health Plans.

4
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:22,640
Speaker 2: In the Game of Health Coverage, Farm Bureau Health Plans

5
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 2: is the MVP. Tennesseeans have relied on their unmatched rates,

6
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 2: coverage and service for nearly eighty years. We welcome in

7
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 2: head coach Brian Callahan. Coach, good to see you again

8
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 2: this week.

9
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 1: Good to be here.

10
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 3: I wish it was under better circumstance.

11
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 1: No, I know it'll happen. We promise it'll be a

12
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 1: lot more fun.

13
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 3: I promise.

14
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 2: You mentioned in your press conference that you thought overall

15
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,479
Speaker 2: Will Levis played better in a lot of facets against

16
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 2: the Jets than he did against the Bears. One thing

17
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 2: that stuck out to me in kind of watching some

18
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 2: things back, will Levis was not afraid to go at

19
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 2: Sauce Gardner, one of the best cornerbacks in the league.

20
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 2: A lot of young quarterbacks would would not do that.

21
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:12,039
Speaker 2: But will Levis is not afraid. We know he's not afraid.

22
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 2: When he runs. He's averaging over nine yards of carry

23
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 2: guys on pace for over five hundred rushing yards. This season.

24
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 2: Sometimes he doesn't slide, and that's not always the greatest

25
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:25,479
Speaker 2: thing in the world, but.

26
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: He did twice. He did, He did get better. We

27
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 1: got better.

28
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 2: I guess what I'm getting down to. As we like

29
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 2: to say, he ain't scared. And we know this that

30
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 2: fearlessness is a tremendous attribute to an NFL quarterback. Fearlessness

31
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 2: can lead to recklessness, though the two are sort of intertwined.

32
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 2: So how do you, as a quarterback guru, accentuate the

33
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 2: quarterback's fearlessness and mitigate the recklessness while still keeping him

34
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 2: being who he really is.

35
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the trick, because you have to be able

36
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 3: to be fearless enough to stand in that pocket and

37
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 3: make a throw, and you have to be fearless enough

38
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 3: to pull the ball down and run and not be

39
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 3: worried about getting hit and standing in the pocket when

40
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 3: people are bearing down on you. Those things are all

41
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 3: traits that Will has that are going to serve him

42
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 3: well in his career. And then you just have to

43
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 3: mitigate the mistake part of it, where there is a

44
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 3: time to cut your losses and not every play has

45
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 3: to be this hero creation, get out of trouble, make

46
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 3: a crazy throw, off platform, off balance. That's not really

47
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,639
Speaker 3: what you need to do. A lot of playing quarterback

48
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 3: in the NFL is doing boring things, doing mundane tasks,

49
00:02:55,880 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 3: and that's completing the football, taking a check down and

50
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 3: holding onto the ball when you're getting sacked and just

51
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 3: take the sack. Well, we'll live for the next plays.

52
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 3: I've said a million times to over my careers. There's

53
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 3: a time and a place for trying to extend to play,

54
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 3: for playing off schedule and off structure with a little

55
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 3: bit of recklessness, which requires and then there's a time

56
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 3: where just sometimes the sack is the best play and.

57
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 1: You have to learn that.

58
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 3: And I think I think we are on track to

59
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 3: learn that at this point with Will, and he understands

60
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 3: the situational part of it versus just the purely I

61
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 3: need to make a play part.

62
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 2: But you understand my question though, in terms of I'm

63
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 2: watching it back and I'm going he's going right at

64
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 2: sauce card.

65
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 3: Yeah. We felt good about our matchup too. I don't

66
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 3: know that there's a whole lot of people that can

67
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 3: cover Calvin Ridley right, and we felt like Calvin's Calvin's

68
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 3: ability to run vertically with speed and to change the direction,

69
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 3: make cuts and get out of the break. Makes him

70
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 3: a really unique player and there's not a lot of

71
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 3: guys that can do what Calvin does, and so we

72
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 3: weren't afraid that that would be a hard matchup. We

73
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 3: knew that Sauce would probably at points beyond Calvin and

74
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:14,839
Speaker 3: we weren't going to be afraid to throw it to him.

75
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 2: And sometimes Sauce is going to win, but as we saw,

76
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 2: sometimes when you take those chances, you're able to win

77
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 2: as well, and win.

78
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 1: Big correct like on the touchdown.

79
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, there was some really nice There was some really

80
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 3: nice plays. There was the one out route that we

81
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 3: threw in that last drive as well on a third down,

82
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 3: that pretty ball, beautiful timing, footwork, protection, throw route, I mean,

83
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 3: the whole thing. And that's sort of what my message

84
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 3: was today with our team is that there's a lot

85
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,280
Speaker 3: of that, which is all of the things that we

86
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,479
Speaker 3: look for, all the things on all three phases. There's

87
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 3: really good things happening. We just have to mitigate the

88
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 3: ones that have hurt us, and I think we'd like

89
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 3: the result.

90
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 4: So have you noticed after reviewing the tape from week

91
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 4: two that some of your younger players are making those improvements,

92
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 4: are continuing to make some of those changes from week

93
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:04,839
Speaker 4: one to week two.

94
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the most noticeable was the two offensive lineman

95
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 3: on the left side for US on offense was But

96
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,159
Speaker 3: Jc's improvement from week one to week two was pretty

97
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,280
Speaker 3: pretty dramatic. He did a much better job. Same with Pete.

98
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 3: Peter was really really good on the second part of

99
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 3: this progression. And to see those guys make those adjustments

100
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 3: and improvements is really positive. I think, you know, defensively,

101
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 3: we don't have a lot of young players on defense

102
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 3: right now. You know, That's that's probably why our defense

103
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 3: has played so well at the Stars because we have

104
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:36,040
Speaker 3: so many veteran players that have played a lot of

105
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 3: football and they understand how to play together. And but

106
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 3: I think that you know, even Jarvis Brownly continues to

107
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 3: develop and play a role and play good and plays

108
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 3: well in special teams for US. So yeah, we've got

109
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 3: young players doing good things and contributing obviously to Andres

110
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:52,719
Speaker 3: another young player that plays a lot for us. So

111
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 3: those are all exciting things that young players are developing.

112
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 3: And there's there's there is a jump week to week

113
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,239
Speaker 3: to week for those those guys and it's not always linear,

114
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 3: it's not just they're just constantly improving, but there's weeks

115
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:05,720
Speaker 3: where they do really nice things.

116
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,160
Speaker 2: Was there any difference in how the Jets chose to

117
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,160
Speaker 2: block or handle to and Andre sweat.

118
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 3: No, they tried to run their offense the way they

119
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 3: tried to run it. But I think they were just

120
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 3: our guys were disruptive and you could see the difference

121
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 3: this week. Whereas Devandre had some splash plays last week,

122
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 3: this week he was doing a little more of the

123
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 3: dirty work. I mean he was eating up double teams

124
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 3: and you could see Ernest and Kenneth just ripping through

125
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,160
Speaker 3: gaps because there was nobody on the second level to

126
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 3: block them. And that's the other part of his job

127
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 3: that it's not going to be as exciting to watch

128
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 3: on TV, but it's just as important, just as effective

129
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 3: to eat up those double teams and let the linebackers

130
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 3: run overall.

131
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 4: Did the Jets offensive line make some of those adjustments,

132
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 4: like bigger picture, did you see that there was some

133
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 4: difference from week one to week two?

134
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 3: No, not anything out of the ordinary. I mean they

135
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 3: did a nice job. They got they were little more empty,

136
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:02,600
Speaker 3: you know, kind of five man protection got the ball

137
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 3: out quick because I think our our defensive line puts

138
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 3: some pressure on him early. You could see their adjustment

139
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 3: was to let Aaron get it back there and check

140
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 3: it out and see it and make a couple of

141
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 3: quick throws and get the ball out of his hand

142
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 3: because the pressure was pretty relentless to start the game

143
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 3: on their offense. So I didn't see anything dramatically different

144
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 3: schematically that would have changed what they did.

145
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 4: There's a lot of conversation about the big guys on

146
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 4: this Titans defense, but Harold Landry had two sacks in

147
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 4: this last game against the Jets, and he kind of

148
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 4: continues to be this presence within the defense. What does

149
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 4: he contribute just that.

150
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 3: I mean, there's a when you have an edge rusher

151
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 3: that gets production on the quarterback and then you have

152
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 3: two interior players that are difficult to handle, and then

153
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 3: Arden has done a really nice job and his role

154
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 3: it affects the way that the quarterback feels. I mean,

155
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 3: we all know that when the quarterback feels pressure and

156
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 3: they get hit, they don't like it. And Harold's done

157
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 3: a really good job of producing on the quarter back

158
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 3: and a lot of to one of the sacks this week,

159
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 3: and one of them last week was really because of

160
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 3: the unselfishness of jeff Simmons rush. You know, they're in

161
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 3: they're in a game, and just all Jeff's jobs do

162
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 3: is just to occupy and penetrate vertically and Harold's looping,

163
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 3: and Harold is a great job finishing the loop and

164
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 3: finishing on the quarterback. But a lot of that's because

165
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 3: there's other guys working to help get them open, just

166
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 3: like on offense, when your receivers are running arounds to

167
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 3: clear space, just clear in space so Harold can go rush.

168
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 3: And I think that's what makes that unit really good,

169
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 3: is they're all really unselfish.

170
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 2: It feels like in watching them too. Jeffrey Simmons hit

171
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 2: five tackles in the game. But it feels like his

172
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 2: time is coming very quickly in terms of being able

173
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 2: to get to the quarterback. Based on what he's been

174
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 2: able to do.

175
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's no doubt, I mean, and again part of

176
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:45,959
Speaker 3: that is because he's been asked to do some other

177
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 3: things to help because he garners so much attention. Boy

178
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 3: that short yardage play though you want to talk about

179
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 3: impact play, I mean, he swims the guard and then

180
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 3: ejects the or he swims the center and he jects

181
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 3: the guard back into the backfield and then makes the

182
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,559
Speaker 3: tackle that allowed Ernest to go fit it on top

183
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 3: of it, and the two of them hit him for

184
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 3: a two yard loss on a third and one. I mean,

185
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 3: those are the Those are way more impactful than a

186
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 3: sack sometimes, you know. And that's what he does. He

187
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 3: just he impacts the game in a lot of different levels.

188
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 2: Ernist Jones got his first starts that you traded for him.

189
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 2: Nine tackles, two tackles for lost yardage. It feels like

190
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 2: he's everything he was cracked up to be.

191
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 3: I mean it was. He was a four year starter

192
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 3: and a team captain and a you know, I don't

193
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 3: know the reasoning for what I wanted to make the move,

194
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 3: but I'm glad they called, and I'm glad we made

195
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,079
Speaker 3: the move because he's We felt like he was a

196
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,439
Speaker 3: player that could really help our defense and help that position.

197
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,079
Speaker 3: We were a little bit thin after some injuries and

198
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 3: training camp, and we had a need there and to

199
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 3: get a player at his caliber. We knew it would

200
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:46,599
Speaker 3: eventually have an impact once she got more comfortable. And

201
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 3: I think as he gets another week comfortable, He's gonna

202
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 3: be another week better in the system. But man, I'm

203
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 3: really glad we have him.

204
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 1: Is explosion The main thing he adds.

205
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, He's is a physicality. He's kind of similar to

206
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:03,559
Speaker 3: like how Kenneth is in terms of heavy downhill physical

207
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 3: still can run well, it still can cover southel on

208
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 3: the sideline, but just the physicality is the part that

209
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 3: you see from him a lot.

210
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 1: It's like an AFC North linebacker.

211
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 3: Sure is.

212
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 1: That's what the That's what they look like.

Speaker 1: We continue with head coach Brian Callahan.

226
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,439
Speaker 4: Coach Tony Pollard had one hundred and two yards from

227
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 4: scrimmage against the Jets. What does he continue to bring

228
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:11,079
Speaker 4: to this Titans offense?

229
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:17,560
Speaker 3: Versatility and he's he's a really good running back. He's

230
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 3: really good as a runner. He's got great vision and

231
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,680
Speaker 3: patience and then burst to pick up yards after contact.

232
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 3: He's got some elusiveness. And then in the past game,

233
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 3: I mean, we hit him on a twenty yard vertical

234
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 3: down the field pass, and we hit him on the

235
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 3: use him in the screen game and use him out

236
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 3: of the back of the So there's he just has

237
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:38,959
Speaker 3: the ability to be like that's what I envisioned when

238
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:40,680
Speaker 3: when Tony got here, was a guy like that that

239
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 3: could have, you know, twelve rushes and six catches and

240
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 3: he's going to account for one hundred and something yards

241
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 3: every week he steps out there, and it's that's very valuable.

242
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,680
Speaker 3: He's he's and he's a he's I love everything about

243
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 3: how he plays football. He's he's a really really good

244
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 3: football player.

245
00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:01,559
Speaker 2: You touched on Calvin Ridley in our last segment. What

246
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:05,479
Speaker 2: we saw yesterday four catches seventy seven yards and a touchdown.

247
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 2: One rush for a touchdown. Is that just kind of

248
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 2: the tip of the iceberg in terms of how you

249
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,320
Speaker 2: see him being able to be used in this offense.

250
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 1: I sure hope.

251
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 3: So, yeah, he's all the different ways. I mean, we

252
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 3: move him all over the place, We put a lot

253
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 3: on his plate mentally, does a great job handling it,

254
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 3: both in the run game, man in the pass game.

255
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 3: The fact that we could get that, you know, he's

256
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 3: done a lot of those motions over the first part

257
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 3: of the preseason. In the first regular season game, and

258
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 3: to get him a jet sweep was really really good,

259
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 3: worked really well, exactly how we hoped it would. But

260
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 3: that's what I see. And then really we left some

261
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:45,200
Speaker 3: plays on the field to him too. And I think

262
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 3: he's he's a catcher two away from having a you know,

263
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 3: one hundred and something yard game as opposed to those

264
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,560
Speaker 3: you know, the sixties and seventies. I think we find

265
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 3: another way. Two three more completions, and you know he

266
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 3: has the one that he dropped on the third down.

267
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:01,200
Speaker 3: You call that a drop That one was, yes, yeah,

268
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 3: that one was. I just yeah, I just wonder how

269
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 3: you we have not heard how you grade. Yet he

270
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 3: would he would call it a drop to I would

271
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 3: imagine that one was that one could have been that

272
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 3: was that was the hundred something yarder to big third down,

273
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 3: put us down the red zone again, chance to win

274
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 3: the game. That was a big play. And I think

275
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 3: that there's gonna be more and more of that, and

276
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 3: he's getting more comfortable. Will is getting more comfortable with him,

277
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 3: and I think that, uh, this is just the beginning

278
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:28,319
Speaker 3: for what he can be. He's such a dynamic player.

279
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 1: You're a tough grader, I hope.

280
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 3: So it's just the way it is. I mean, you know,

281
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 3: there's the teams that are really playing well make those plays, right,

282
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 3: they make the they make the contested catch that Burke's had.

283
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 3: They think we were just we're we're so close, We're

284
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 3: so close to being really good, and so the only

285
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 3: way to get better is to be critical and hopefully

286
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 3: you make those adjustments and you make those coaching points

287
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 3: and we're better the next time.

288
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 2: So from that standpoint, just to follow one further bit,

289
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 2: if you have that level of expectation that you expect

290
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 2: that catch to be made, do you find as time

291
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,119
Speaker 2: goes on that catch ends up getting.

292
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 1: Made absolutely okay.

293
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 3: There's a there's a there's always standard, there's always an expectation,

294
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 3: and I think that most guys rise to meet those.

295
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 3: All the great competitors I've been around always end up

296
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 3: they want to be held to that high standard. They

297
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 3: want they want the expectation to be they're going to

298
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 3: make the play, and I think the more that you

299
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 3: do that, the more it becomes part of who you

300
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 3: are as an offense, and everyone sort of responds to

301
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 3: those things.

302
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 4: So when we talk about standards on offense, it seems

303
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 4: as though the run game is closer to the standard.

304
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 4: What is it going to take to get the passing

305
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 4: game on the same level.

306
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 3: I think the more we play, the better we're going

307
00:14:55,520 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 3: to get. That's just natural progression of things. I think

308
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 3: Will has done a really nice job in a lot

309
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 3: of areas, and there's some areas that he needs to

310
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 3: get better at, and I think he has. I think

311
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 3: the Week one improvement to week two to me was

312
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 3: really encouraging. You take the silly play that he made

313
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 3: out of it, and there's a lot of really positives

314
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 3: from the game that were better than they were the

315
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 3: week before. And I told him before I came up

316
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 3: here that that's all we're looking for is be better

317
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 3: the next week. If you made a mistake the first week,

318
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 3: don't make it again. If you had to correct something

319
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 3: the second week, don't do in the third week. And

320
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 3: I think that progression is really going to help him.

321
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 3: And then as hop gets gets back to form, and

322
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 3: I said in my press conference, I do a better

323
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 3: job of getting him involved earlier in the game, and

324
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 3: I think the ball gets distributed a little bit more

325
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 3: evenly and makes it a little bit harder to defend. Overall,

326
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 3: it's not just throwing the Calvin I think will be

327
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 3: a lot better for it.

328
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 2: All Right, So there is a trend around the league though,

329
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 2: teams running games seemed to be far ahead of their

330
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 2: passing get through two weeks, fourteen one hundred yard rushers

331
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 2: and only five three hundred yard passers. Do you have

332
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 2: a theory as to why.

333
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 3: I don't, And I think that that's really it is

334
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 3: really interesting in the beginning of this season compared to

335
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 3: seasons past, And I'm sure at the end of the

336
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 3: season it will all sort of bear out, but this

337
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 3: early part you're just you're seeing such an emphasis on

338
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:30,119
Speaker 3: limiting explosive plays and making offenses rightfully. So making offenses

339
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 3: drive the field and do it do it the hard way.

340
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 3: Complete you have to go five for five and rush

341
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 3: for forty yards to get the score touchdown every time

342
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 3: you touch the ball, and that that's hard to sustain

343
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 3: that kind of success series by series. And so yeah,

344
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 3: there's there's something happening right now in the NFL that's

345
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 3: that's different, and I can't quite put my finger on it,

346
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 3: but there definitely is a it's a different style that's

347
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 3: being played. Whether people are running the ball more because

348
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 3: there's more two high shells, but they're running it better

349
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 3: against those two high shells. And maybe there's some teams

350
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 3: playing with the two high shells that aren't built to

351
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 3: stop the run with a two high shell, and so

352
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 3: there's more runs, more rushes happening more often. You have

353
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:13,679
Speaker 3: a lot more young quarterbacks playing early in the season.

354
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 3: So there's probably a bunch of factors that a lot

355
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:18,399
Speaker 3: of people that are way smarter than me have a

356
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 3: better idea about. But there definitely is a change in

357
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 3: dynamic on offensive football this early part of the year.

358
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 4: So let's talk about Sunday's opponent in the Green Bay

359
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:31,199
Speaker 4: Packers because teams that rush. They had fifty three rushes

360
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:34,359
Speaker 4: for two hundred and sixty one yards against Indianapolis yesterday,

361
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:39,679
Speaker 4: and that's a lot. You don't really see NFL teams

362
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:43,639
Speaker 4: that committed to running the football. How hard does that

363
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 4: make game planning on your defensive staff.

364
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:50,399
Speaker 3: It's it's not totally. It's a little bit different for

365
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:52,160
Speaker 3: us on the other side because they have a new coordinator,

366
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 3: but for them, like at least Matt's been there for

367
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 3: a while, the style of offenses is. You can go

368
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:58,879
Speaker 3: back and watch some things on what they like to

369
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 3: do and all that. But yeah, I mean you you're

370
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 3: getting ready for a team that's gonna try to run

371
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:08,360
Speaker 3: it right at you. And our team has responded well

372
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 3: to that for the most part through two games. And

373
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:12,399
Speaker 3: that's gonna be a tough That's gonna be a tough

374
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,200
Speaker 3: matchup when you just mean it's going to be an

375
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 3: almost old school approach and that red they're gonna run

376
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 3: it that many times, and you've got to be ready

377
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:23,400
Speaker 3: to go defend it that many times and make it

378
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 3: so they don't want to run it that many times.

379
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:28,479
Speaker 3: You have if there's no production in the run game,

380
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 3: you're not going to keep handing it off. You're gonna

381
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 3: try to find other ways to gain yards, and it'll

382
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:33,959
Speaker 3: be a tough test. I mean, they did a really

383
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 3: good job. I mean, that's an impressive outing on the

384
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 3: ground for any team at any point, and they did

385
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:41,120
Speaker 3: a really nice job. Well, Indy's defense is not chop

386
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:44,640
Speaker 3: liver either, No, not at all. They've They've been better

387
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:49,120
Speaker 3: defenses up front in the league. And yeah, that's an

388
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 3: impressive performance by the Packers offensively for sure.

389
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:57,159
Speaker 2: So philosophically, do you go into this week with the thought, Okay,

390
00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 2: we're going to prepare for Jordan Love? Is that how

391
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:02,439
Speaker 2: you Is that how you think about it? Or do

392
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:03,399
Speaker 2: you even think about it?

393
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 3: You have to be ready for it, absolutely, I know,

394
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 3: we'll we'll watch, We'll watch all that. Jordan's been turned

395
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 3: into a really nice quarterback in the league, and that's

396
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,159
Speaker 3: had really finished this season really well last year and

397
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 3: had a good opening game. And I do believe that

398
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 3: if he's got a chance to play, he'll try to

399
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 3: be out there for his team. We have to be

400
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:26,159
Speaker 3: ready for that prospect, and then you just get you

401
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 3: react to whatever the outcome is for the Sunday's active roster.

402
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:32,640
Speaker 3: So we'll prepare for it. We'll be ready for it.

403
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:35,200
Speaker 3: But you Elsea got to prepare for the league.

404
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 2: My leak did a nice job, did a great job.

405
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 2: He really had for him. Not surprisingly, he went in

406
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 2: and played well and had a tremendous amount of composure.

407
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 2: Do they change I mean, I know they ran a lot,

408
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 2: they didn't throw as much. He's new to the offense.

409
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 2: But philosophically, do they change much if they change quarterbacks?

410
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:58,400
Speaker 3: I think they let they put the ball in Jordan's

411
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:00,439
Speaker 3: hands more often than Jordan's true. I mean he's going

412
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 3: to take He's earned the right to have that. I mean,

413
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 3: he's done a nice job. So yeah, it changes a

414
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:08,639
Speaker 3: little bit. But you know, Malik's Malik's a capable and

415
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,920
Speaker 3: talented player. And I liked a lot of things about

416
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 3: what Malie did for us in the preseason. It turns

417
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:17,719
Speaker 3: out this opportunity was the right one for him. He's

418
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:19,199
Speaker 3: had a chance to go play and that was that

419
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:22,440
Speaker 3: was what we were hoping for. And I'm happy that

420
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 3: he that he's played well. And the thing that he

421
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 3: did a great job of is he didn't he didn't

422
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:27,920
Speaker 3: lose them the game. He didn't make any mistakes that

423
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,159
Speaker 3: would have cost him the game. He managed just how

424
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 3: I'm sure they asked him to, and he did a

425
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:34,400
Speaker 3: really nice job with what was asked of him, and

426
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 3: everybody else around him played really well. And that's how

427
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:39,679
Speaker 3: you that's how you handle that situation and go win

428
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:41,680
Speaker 3: a football game. And that, you know, tip of the

429
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 3: cap to the Packers and mattla Floor and his staff.

430
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 3: They did a great job of getting ready and being

431
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 3: committed to a particular way of playing a game, and

432
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 3: they did a great job.

433
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:51,680
Speaker 4: You mentioned that there's some new stuff within the defense.

434
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 4: What sticks out to you about that side of the

435
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 4: wall for the Packers just.

436
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 3: It's just you don't know what the scheme is fully yet.

437
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 3: You know, they only had two games. It's a coordinator,

438
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:03,640
Speaker 3: it's been in college for a while, has a long

439
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,679
Speaker 3: NFL background, but it is coming from college experience, and

440
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:08,399
Speaker 3: so what does it look like?

441
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:08,879
Speaker 1: What is he?

442
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 3: Who is he? You know, what what family has he

443
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:13,680
Speaker 3: come from? What what does he believe in? And has

444
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 3: that changed over time? And so it's just it's just

445
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,399
Speaker 3: a small sample size for us. They got talented players

446
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 3: on defense there, it's it's been there they've been a

447
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 3: really good football team over the last handful of years,

448
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 3: and that that's the challenge is find then find them.

449
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:31,679
Speaker 3: Who do they want to be in defense schematically and

450
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 3: what do we have to do to counter that? And

451
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:35,920
Speaker 3: where do we find those? You know, there's not a

452
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 3: lot of tape to go look at.

00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 4: you have to be able to ride the highs and

467
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 4: the lows of a football season. You can't get too high,

468
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:28,639
Speaker 4: you can't get too low. You've got to keep an

00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:31,440
Speaker 4: even keel yep. How do you model that for your

470
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 4: team in the way that you coach, in the way

471
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:34,160
Speaker 4: that you prepare.

472
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 3: I just try to be as consistent as I can

473
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 3: with the message after a game, with how I carry

474
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:42,920
Speaker 3: myself in the building and with how I interact with

475
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 3: the players, that it doesn't change because we've lost, or

476
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 3: it doesn't change because we've won. That when they walk

477
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:54,639
Speaker 3: in the building every Monday and every Wednesday and Thursday

478
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 3: and Friday, they know exactly what I'm going to be like.

479
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,040
Speaker 3: And I think that that's important and I worked, I

480
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 3: work hard to make it that way. It's it's it's

481
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:07,639
Speaker 3: it's it's intentional, and it's not always easy because you

482
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:11,120
Speaker 3: do there is emotions involved in all these things, and

483
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 3: so but you just you have to really fight against

484
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 3: riding the up and down emotions of what what an

485
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 3: NFL season can feel like, and right now doesn't feel

486
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 3: really good. Being oz too is not where we thought

487
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 3: we would be, not what we're capable of being. We're

488
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 3: capably much better. But I think that there's an importance

489
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:31,159
Speaker 3: to the for the players to know when they walk in,

490
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,400
Speaker 3: they know what the tone is going to be how

491
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 3: it's going to look. And we can be critical both

492
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 3: in wins and losses, and but consistently critical. So it's

493
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 3: not like we just pretend like everything's great when we

494
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 3: win and we're terrible when we lose. There's just here's

495
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 3: what we have to do better, here's why, here's where

496
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 3: we could have lost the game if we won. We

497
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 3: haven't won yet, we will, and then here's where, here's

498
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 3: where we did. This is what did contribute to us

499
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 3: losing this game. And we can't have these things happen.

500
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 3: And I think you take a very matter of fact

501
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 3: approach to the good and the bad. Your critical work

502
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:04,640
Speaker 3: critical is worthy, and and you're you praise what praise

503
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:06,639
Speaker 3: is worthy. And there's that's every week in the NFL,

504
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 3: and you just have to keep finding ways to try

505
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 3: to be on the winning side of It's a lot

506
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 3: easier to do it that way.

507
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 2: Brian Callahan, thanks so much for the time. You got
