0:00:00.440 --> 0:00:04.680
<v Speaker 1>You heard from uh Brandon and George that the offense

0:00:04.800 --> 0:00:06.480
<v Speaker 1>may have won today's practice.

0:00:06.480 --> 0:00:06.720
<v Speaker 2>Is that?

0:00:07.320 --> 0:00:08.160
<v Speaker 3>Is that true?

0:00:09.360 --> 0:00:09.920
<v Speaker 1>Ah?

0:00:10.080 --> 0:00:13.800
<v Speaker 2>Those offensive guys, boy, I'll tell you what we won today.

0:00:16.040 --> 0:00:19.160
<v Speaker 2>So don't let's not get that uh misunderstood defense one.

0:00:19.200 --> 0:00:21.840
<v Speaker 2>Today they had a good couple of plays, you know,

0:00:21.960 --> 0:00:25.960
<v Speaker 2>especially you know Purdies back out there ripping. It looks great,

0:00:26.280 --> 0:00:28.160
<v Speaker 2>exactly what you would like to see out of the offense.

0:00:28.320 --> 0:00:32.000
<v Speaker 4>Uh, it was a horrified battle. I'd say, finding.

0:00:31.800 --> 0:00:34.440
<v Speaker 1>Practice, you might imagine that it wouldn't be hard for

0:00:34.680 --> 0:00:37.280
<v Speaker 1>it because there's nothing to prepare for this weekend.

0:00:37.360 --> 0:00:41.240
<v Speaker 5>But I mean, did you, you know, personally, make.

0:00:41.120 --> 0:00:44.880
<v Speaker 1>Sure that there was intensity so that those pec those

0:00:44.920 --> 0:00:46.720
<v Speaker 1>guys might say something like that.

0:00:46.560 --> 0:00:49.400
<v Speaker 4>After a practice. I'm always trying to stir the pot.

0:00:49.520 --> 0:00:51.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm always trying to get the juices going, you know,

0:00:51.720 --> 0:00:54.360
<v Speaker 2>before the practice starts, you you start playing seeds, you

0:00:54.360 --> 0:00:57.280
<v Speaker 2>know in each guy. Hey, Brandon, we're gonna see you know,

0:00:57.400 --> 0:01:00.160
<v Speaker 2>uh I George, I don't know if it Brock he's

0:01:00.160 --> 0:01:00.880
<v Speaker 2>been away for a while.

0:01:00.880 --> 0:01:01.279
<v Speaker 4>I don't know.

0:01:01.800 --> 0:01:03.480
<v Speaker 2>He's playing seeds man, you know, And then that's how

0:01:03.520 --> 0:01:06.559
<v Speaker 2>he create that competitive atmosphere out there. It's all fun

0:01:06.560 --> 0:01:07.160
<v Speaker 2>and games.

0:01:07.760 --> 0:01:12.240
<v Speaker 5>That's some pretty notable coaches stepped down this weekend. And

0:01:12.840 --> 0:01:14.880
<v Speaker 5>when Bill Walsh was here, he used to say, he

0:01:14.920 --> 0:01:17.200
<v Speaker 5>can coach for a place for ten years and everybody's

0:01:17.240 --> 0:01:20.040
<v Speaker 5>heard everything, and then you should move on. You've been

0:01:20.040 --> 0:01:22.760
<v Speaker 5>with Kyle for six years now. I'm curious what's he

0:01:22.880 --> 0:01:25.360
<v Speaker 5>done to keep things fresh? Is he a lot much

0:01:25.400 --> 0:01:27.160
<v Speaker 5>the same as the guy when you got here? Does

0:01:27.200 --> 0:01:30.039
<v Speaker 5>he do things differently? How is he ad justin adapted?

0:01:31.560 --> 0:01:34.560
<v Speaker 4>I mean he's for sure the same guy, just better.

0:01:34.840 --> 0:01:36.720
<v Speaker 2>Every year he's gotten better as a coach, just like

0:01:36.760 --> 0:01:38.360
<v Speaker 2>he expects all his players to get better.

0:01:38.840 --> 0:01:40.800
<v Speaker 4>His big thing is he really getting better getting worse?

0:01:41.440 --> 0:01:45.240
<v Speaker 2>And with Kyle just being so true and authentic to

0:01:45.319 --> 0:01:49.000
<v Speaker 2>himself and having had the experiences that we've had as

0:01:49.040 --> 0:01:52.800
<v Speaker 2>a team, and you know, losing in the big games,

0:01:52.840 --> 0:01:55.240
<v Speaker 2>starting not having slow starts to seasons, you know, he

0:01:55.320 --> 0:01:58.960
<v Speaker 2>always looks and reflects back, reflects back on those prior

0:01:59.080 --> 0:02:01.120
<v Speaker 2>years and like those skull that you earn, it's like,

0:02:01.680 --> 0:02:03.240
<v Speaker 2>all right, how do we get better from that? Like

0:02:03.240 --> 0:02:05.440
<v Speaker 2>what what did we learn from that in order to

0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:08.760
<v Speaker 2>be better going forward? So every year, going into every season,

0:02:08.800 --> 0:02:10.919
<v Speaker 2>there's always something new that we got to like work

0:02:10.960 --> 0:02:13.119
<v Speaker 2>on and get better at to attain what we're trying

0:02:13.160 --> 0:02:14.480
<v Speaker 2>to do here, you know what I'm saying. And so

0:02:14.600 --> 0:02:16.880
<v Speaker 2>that's that's something that he's done a great job of

0:02:16.960 --> 0:02:18.880
<v Speaker 2>every year, just continuing to get better as a coach

0:02:18.919 --> 0:02:20.200
<v Speaker 2>and a leader for us.

0:02:22.160 --> 0:02:23.760
<v Speaker 4>At How do they help you this time of year

0:02:25.919 --> 0:02:29.400
<v Speaker 4>getting ready for another another platform? Yeah, man, I mean

0:02:30.160 --> 0:02:32.160
<v Speaker 4>you you always remember those moments.

0:02:32.280 --> 0:02:35.839
<v Speaker 2>I think it's important during those times like last year

0:02:35.840 --> 0:02:39.680
<v Speaker 2>in Philly and you see the confetti coming down, you

0:02:39.720 --> 0:02:42.080
<v Speaker 2>see them with their hats and T shirts on the stage,

0:02:42.080 --> 0:02:45.120
<v Speaker 2>they're happy, and you're standing there, You're watching it all happen,

0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:47.519
<v Speaker 2>and I could put myself right back there in this moment.

0:02:47.960 --> 0:02:51.040
<v Speaker 2>And the the part that sucks is like you can't

0:02:51.080 --> 0:02:53.920
<v Speaker 2>just blinking your right back into having an opportunity to

0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:55.720
<v Speaker 2>go back and do it again, you know what I'm saying.

0:02:55.720 --> 0:02:59.960
<v Speaker 2>And so you start from ground one OTA's mini camp,

0:03:00.720 --> 0:03:03.280
<v Speaker 2>training camp. You know, you gotta you gotta build the

0:03:03.320 --> 0:03:05.880
<v Speaker 2>team back up again, and it feels like just yesterday

0:03:05.880 --> 0:03:06.400
<v Speaker 2>we were doing that.

0:03:06.440 --> 0:03:08.040
<v Speaker 4>But you blink and you we're here, like it's the

0:03:08.080 --> 0:03:10.000
<v Speaker 4>start of playoffs and you're here.

0:03:10.000 --> 0:03:12.000
<v Speaker 2>You're here, right back where you wanna be with an

0:03:12.040 --> 0:03:14.919
<v Speaker 2>opportunity to go do something special with the right type

0:03:14.919 --> 0:03:17.919
<v Speaker 2>of guys. And uh, I think that's what the scars

0:03:17.919 --> 0:03:20.080
<v Speaker 2>are for. You remember those moments, So it's like, how

0:03:20.120 --> 0:03:21.760
<v Speaker 2>can I not give my all to this? How can

0:03:21.840 --> 0:03:24.240
<v Speaker 2>I not make sure it's everything to me, my teammates

0:03:24.639 --> 0:03:28.720
<v Speaker 2>obviously the coaches, And that's that's what those scars are for.

0:03:29.680 --> 0:03:32.760
<v Speaker 3>The way you guys lost que unique way you guys

0:03:32.840 --> 0:03:36.080
<v Speaker 3>lost last year? Did that sort of different type?

0:03:38.200 --> 0:03:40.000
<v Speaker 2>Oh me, Yeah, it was kind of mixed emotions, right

0:03:40.040 --> 0:03:41.680
<v Speaker 2>cause it felt like we never even had a chance

0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:43.640
<v Speaker 2>to get going. We never had a chance to really

0:03:43.720 --> 0:03:45.480
<v Speaker 2>like feel like we could compete in that game. Like

0:03:45.520 --> 0:03:47.600
<v Speaker 2>we don't get me wrong, Like in the moment, we're

0:03:47.600 --> 0:03:49.200
<v Speaker 2>feeling like, man, we could we could still do this,

0:03:49.240 --> 0:03:51.400
<v Speaker 2>We could do anything, like especially the way that we

0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:54.120
<v Speaker 2>finished last season. Hadn't w hadn't lost a game in forever,

0:03:54.840 --> 0:03:57.160
<v Speaker 2>and it didn't matter if Brock went down or Josh

0:03:57.240 --> 0:03:59.880
<v Speaker 2>went down. We were like, man, defensively, we're thinking, we

0:03:59.880 --> 0:04:01.920
<v Speaker 2>just can get oh how many touchdowns on defense if

0:04:01.920 --> 0:04:03.760
<v Speaker 2>we need to score, Like that's the mindset in that moment,

0:04:04.160 --> 0:04:07.120
<v Speaker 2>and then you look back afterwards like we never had

0:04:07.160 --> 0:04:09.640
<v Speaker 2>a chance, you know, and so it's like, just give

0:04:09.720 --> 0:04:11.760
<v Speaker 2>us an opportunity where we're able to compete in that

0:04:11.800 --> 0:04:14.240
<v Speaker 2>situation again, and and then we'll see.

0:04:15.000 --> 0:04:17.480
<v Speaker 6>Obviously there's still some faces missing at practice, But is

0:04:17.520 --> 0:04:20.880
<v Speaker 6>it kind of energizing to get like Urgarnstead, Gyre Brown,

0:04:21.160 --> 0:04:22.160
<v Speaker 6>every Thomas.

0:04:21.839 --> 0:04:22.680
<v Speaker 4>Georgia, the etcetera.

0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:23.359
<v Speaker 5>Back today?

0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:24.159
<v Speaker 4>Yeah? So good?

0:04:24.440 --> 0:04:26.040
<v Speaker 2>Uh so good to see those guys out there in

0:04:26.040 --> 0:04:27.960
<v Speaker 2>the uniform. You talk about a guy like Eric and

0:04:28.000 --> 0:04:30.280
<v Speaker 2>how how big he is for us, uh and what

0:04:30.320 --> 0:04:32.000
<v Speaker 2>we do. Just to see him in the uniform again

0:04:32.040 --> 0:04:35.320
<v Speaker 2>today was great. Uh, gire band back. So it's just

0:04:35.320 --> 0:04:37.240
<v Speaker 2>good to get everybody back out there moving around so

0:04:37.279 --> 0:04:39.360
<v Speaker 2>that when the time comes next week when we need him,

0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:40.880
<v Speaker 2>that everybody's ready to go. Right.

0:04:41.000 --> 0:04:42.920
<v Speaker 4>You guys been banging heads since July.

0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:46.160
<v Speaker 3>I thought maybe your best collective game was off the pot,

0:04:46.160 --> 0:04:47.200
<v Speaker 3>the Jacksonville game.

0:04:47.560 --> 0:04:49.480
<v Speaker 4>How do you feel with.

0:04:49.520 --> 0:04:51.520
<v Speaker 3>The rest and how much do you think that rest

0:04:51.640 --> 0:04:53.320
<v Speaker 3>is gonna help you guys in the division round?

0:04:53.720 --> 0:04:55.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's really helpful. I I feel great, you know,

0:04:56.000 --> 0:04:58.120
<v Speaker 2>I think the rest is much needed. And you talk

0:04:58.160 --> 0:05:01.240
<v Speaker 2>about a lot of guys and didn't play many snaps

0:05:01.240 --> 0:05:03.040
<v Speaker 2>in this past game either, So it's almost like you're

0:05:03.040 --> 0:05:06.120
<v Speaker 2>taking two weeks of just letting the body recover and

0:05:06.160 --> 0:05:08.960
<v Speaker 2>then mentally getting your mind right for what we got ahead.

0:05:09.000 --> 0:05:12.520
<v Speaker 2>And I do think it'll be advantageous. And you mentioned

0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:15.000
<v Speaker 2>it after that bye week and during the season, we

0:05:15.160 --> 0:05:16.919
<v Speaker 2>came out flying, and we got to make sure we

0:05:16.960 --> 0:05:18.000
<v Speaker 2>do the same thing this time.

0:05:18.440 --> 0:05:21.880
<v Speaker 1>Jase Young might have an expanded role here in the

0:05:21.960 --> 0:05:23.800
<v Speaker 1>first two games. What do you see from him since

0:05:23.839 --> 0:05:26.120
<v Speaker 1>he got here in late October early November.

0:05:26.440 --> 0:05:29.120
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I think just came in. It was exactly the

0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:30.120
<v Speaker 4>type of guy that we.

0:05:31.560 --> 0:05:33.760
<v Speaker 2>That we want, you know, and being a forty nine er,

0:05:33.839 --> 0:05:36.240
<v Speaker 2>and he bought right into what we were doing. You know,

0:05:36.279 --> 0:05:39.400
<v Speaker 2>you talk about he he already had ingraining him, like

0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:43.320
<v Speaker 2>little things like running to the football, playing with that violence,

0:05:43.360 --> 0:05:44.920
<v Speaker 2>like the stuff that you that we asked our guys

0:05:44.920 --> 0:05:46.800
<v Speaker 2>to do, and on top of the talent and the

0:05:46.839 --> 0:05:49.119
<v Speaker 2>ability that he has, and he just continued to get better,

0:05:50.680 --> 0:05:52.880
<v Speaker 2>you know. And I think he's bought into his role too,

0:05:53.000 --> 0:05:54.839
<v Speaker 2>Like he's not he's not like a me guy. It's like,

0:05:54.880 --> 0:05:56.520
<v Speaker 2>oh this is my bag year, this this that like

0:05:56.560 --> 0:05:58.120
<v Speaker 2>he wants to win. He wants to win a ring

0:05:58.200 --> 0:06:01.160
<v Speaker 2>as bad as anybody here, So I'm really excited for him,

0:06:01.240 --> 0:06:02.039
<v Speaker 2>uh in the postseason.

0:06:02.560 --> 0:06:04.400
<v Speaker 6>Perhaps it just said that he plays his best football

0:06:04.400 --> 0:06:06.719
<v Speaker 6>in the playoffs. Obviously that's the goal of everybody on

0:06:06.800 --> 0:06:09.279
<v Speaker 6>the team. But what do you see from him on

0:06:09.360 --> 0:06:12.320
<v Speaker 6>these home stretches when you're in the postseason and he's

0:06:12.400 --> 0:06:13.000
<v Speaker 6>right in front of you.

0:06:14.279 --> 0:06:16.359
<v Speaker 2>I think he plays his best ball year round, you know,

0:06:16.440 --> 0:06:19.120
<v Speaker 2>And I think, Uh, you wanna be a guy known

0:06:19.200 --> 0:06:21.800
<v Speaker 2>for being consistent, uh, no matter what the situation is.

0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:23.440
<v Speaker 4>But of course you want your you want your best

0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:25.480
<v Speaker 4>uh ball to be played in at in this moment.

0:06:25.520 --> 0:06:29.159
<v Speaker 2>And the way that you do that is you continue

0:06:29.160 --> 0:06:31.080
<v Speaker 2>to do things that that you've done right to get

0:06:31.120 --> 0:06:32.599
<v Speaker 2>you to this point. You know, you don't have to

0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:34.520
<v Speaker 2>do something out of out of the ordinary to all

0:06:34.520 --> 0:06:37.800
<v Speaker 2>of a sudden be playoff you know, such and such.

0:06:37.839 --> 0:06:40.039
<v Speaker 2>It's like, just do the things that have brought you

0:06:40.040 --> 0:06:41.600
<v Speaker 2>success up to this point, and that's the things that

0:06:41.640 --> 0:06:43.120
<v Speaker 2>are gonna be able. It's the little things, you know.

0:06:43.240 --> 0:06:44.800
<v Speaker 2>So a lot of teams they lose games this time

0:06:44.839 --> 0:06:46.960
<v Speaker 2>of year. It's not about winning, it's about not losing

0:06:46.960 --> 0:06:48.840
<v Speaker 2>the game. So we just gotta be on top of

0:06:48.880 --> 0:06:50.920
<v Speaker 2>the details. Those little things, I think is what's gonna

0:06:51.080 --> 0:06:52.160
<v Speaker 2>carry us to where we wanna go.

0:06:53.520 --> 0:06:57.520
<v Speaker 3>Right, if you're talked about how play about playoff intends

0:06:57.520 --> 0:06:59.320
<v Speaker 3>to be and how you know, in the regular season,

0:06:59.360 --> 0:07:01.480
<v Speaker 3>you might see a guy like a pass rusher, like

0:07:01.560 --> 0:07:03.960
<v Speaker 3>oh he he only turns it on on third down,

0:07:04.120 --> 0:07:06.480
<v Speaker 3>or or you know, these guy dosn't try this. But

0:07:07.120 --> 0:07:10.120
<v Speaker 3>then in the playoffs everyone is into it. He as

0:07:10.160 --> 0:07:11.920
<v Speaker 3>he said, everyone's playing like Max Crosby.

0:07:13.240 --> 0:07:15.840
<v Speaker 4>I like that. Yeah, it's nice.

0:07:16.240 --> 0:07:19.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so I I guess does that resonate with you?

0:07:19.640 --> 0:07:23.800
<v Speaker 3>And is it a much higher level than a regular

0:07:23.960 --> 0:07:24.920
<v Speaker 3>you know, we game game.

0:07:26.880 --> 0:07:29.200
<v Speaker 2>Uh, it's for sure a much a much higher level

0:07:29.240 --> 0:07:31.920
<v Speaker 2>in terms of his winner go home. This isn't a

0:07:31.920 --> 0:07:33.120
<v Speaker 2>g a seven game series.

0:07:33.160 --> 0:07:33.320
<v Speaker 4>You know.

0:07:33.400 --> 0:07:36.360
<v Speaker 2>It's not the best team that wins the trophy at

0:07:36.400 --> 0:07:38.400
<v Speaker 2>the end. You know, and in basketball you usually got

0:07:38.440 --> 0:07:40.960
<v Speaker 2>a few chances to get it right when you've got

0:07:40.960 --> 0:07:42.480
<v Speaker 2>the best players, But it doesn't matter if you got

0:07:42.520 --> 0:07:43.880
<v Speaker 2>the best team. I feel like we've had the best

0:07:43.880 --> 0:07:46.120
<v Speaker 2>team the last three four years and we still haven't

0:07:46.120 --> 0:07:48.240
<v Speaker 2>gotten a ring. It wasn't about us having the best team.

0:07:48.240 --> 0:07:50.600
<v Speaker 2>It's about how good can you play in those three

0:07:50.600 --> 0:07:54.680
<v Speaker 2>hours that you're allotted out there? And that's the team

0:07:54.680 --> 0:07:57.200
<v Speaker 2>that usually, uh is happy at the end of the year.

0:07:57.400 --> 0:07:59.760
<v Speaker 2>And so the guys that turn it on for the playoffs,

0:07:59.760 --> 0:08:03.920
<v Speaker 2>I don't really Uh, that's not something that I can

0:08:03.920 --> 0:08:06.440
<v Speaker 2>truly like respectfully. I feel like if you just not

0:08:06.560 --> 0:08:09.160
<v Speaker 2>turning it on, where were you all the way through

0:08:09.320 --> 0:08:11.679
<v Speaker 2>from all the you know, the eighteen s eighteen weeks

0:08:11.680 --> 0:08:15.040
<v Speaker 2>prior to that, so you know, we'll see. I think

0:08:15.080 --> 0:08:16.520
<v Speaker 2>our guys are made of the right stuff. We've we've

0:08:16.520 --> 0:08:18.679
<v Speaker 2>been going at it for the last eighteen nineteen weeks

0:08:19.320 --> 0:08:20.880
<v Speaker 2>and uh, we're made of the right stuff. We just

0:08:20.880 --> 0:08:22.880
<v Speaker 2>gotta make sure we play our best ball for three hours.

0:08:23.600 --> 0:08:24.400
<v Speaker 5>Be watching the.

0:08:24.360 --> 0:08:27.440
<v Speaker 6>Games impartially or will you be having any rooting interests?

0:08:27.480 --> 0:08:30.920
<v Speaker 6>Maybe for to go but other maybe Mike, but other

0:08:30.960 --> 0:08:33.319
<v Speaker 6>than that, any any partiality?

0:08:34.040 --> 0:08:34.880
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, no, I'm uh.

0:08:34.920 --> 0:08:37.679
<v Speaker 2>I'm excited to watch, just as a as a football fan,

0:08:37.840 --> 0:08:40.000
<v Speaker 2>excited to watch and obviously seeing who we play. But

0:08:41.360 --> 0:08:44.040
<v Speaker 2>I hope everybody loses, you know, I hope everybody loses.

0:08:43.760 --> 0:08:47.040
<v Speaker 4>And and then who knows, and then we won't have

0:08:47.120 --> 0:08:52.040
<v Speaker 4>to play. I'm just kidding. They're good good, alright, guys.

0:08:52.120 --> 0:08:54.320
<v Speaker 2>Thanks,
