1 00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:02,960 Speaker 1: All right. First of all, old man, how are you feeling? 2 00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:08,520 Speaker 1: I'm okay. You're not gonna give us any more details 3 00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:10,000 Speaker 1: in that any corn. You know how Bill is, he's 4 00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:13,240 Speaker 1: very open about injuries. What what what else do you 5 00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:16,200 Speaker 1: want to do? I said, I'm okay, all right, I'll 6 00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:19,040 Speaker 1: take that as like I'm having a good day. Well, 7 00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:21,040 Speaker 1: of course, I thought you were just caring about my 8 00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:23,800 Speaker 1: well being mentally, I'm okay. My daughter woke up a 9 00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:27,680 Speaker 1: lot last night because of the storm, so sleep wasn't great. Um, 10 00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:30,479 Speaker 1: but I'm working through it. You know, how's there? You 11 00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:34,040 Speaker 1: got power? Yeah, I believe they got power there. I've 12 00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:36,760 Speaker 1: been here all day. You know you didn't call it 13 00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:38,760 Speaker 1: check in on him. I mean, if you know no power, 14 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:40,800 Speaker 1: I mean Lawrence was talking to Lawrence guy songs, he's 15 00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:43,160 Speaker 1: talking to his wife. I mean, he's a little extra. 16 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:47,200 Speaker 1: I can't do anything that they have no power. Actually, 17 00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,639 Speaker 1: he said, he said the same thing. Where are you right? 18 00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:53,320 Speaker 1: You know, my nice, humble abode. Oh it must be 19 00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:58,040 Speaker 1: nice some to work today. Hey, I was. I was 20 00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:01,880 Speaker 1: at the conferences this morning. Um, all right, but I 21 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:03,959 Speaker 1: know people don't want to give us, so I move 22 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 1: on to the next thing. Um, when you look at 23 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:10,320 Speaker 1: their situation in LA Obviously last year went in there 24 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 1: and stomped them. Different coach and Bill said, sort of 25 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 1: some of the same players, but it feels like a 26 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,400 Speaker 1: totally different team. Just what are you seeing from them, 27 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 1: especially offensively with Herbert at the helm. Yeah, I mean 28 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 1: I always look at it like to look at a 29 00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 1: game from last year, you know. I think if you 30 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,319 Speaker 1: were talking about the same coaches and the same scheme, 31 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,840 Speaker 1: then yeah, you turn it on and see what they 32 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,560 Speaker 1: what they liked against us. But I think in this situation, 33 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,039 Speaker 1: especially at this part of the season, like there's enough 34 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 1: games or this year that you can look at and 35 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:41,040 Speaker 1: see how explosive this offense has been. Um, we talked 36 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 1: a lot about, you know, their skill players. Obviously Herbert's great, 37 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 1: um throw the ball all over the field that last year, 38 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 1: Like he's just better, you know because this year or 39 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 1: two instead of being a rookie and seeing things for 40 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 1: the first time. But I think it still sticks out 41 00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 1: the same way as last year with the skill guys 42 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 1: just so much. You know, I think talent all over 43 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 1: the field with Williams obviously, Keenan, Allen Eckler, and I 44 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 1: would say even guys like guying in year two now 45 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 1: speed and things like that, and Palmer is a rookie. 46 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 1: Um stepped in last week with Williams going down and 47 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 1: was able to play so Um and then with Cook 48 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 1: you know, year thirteen still out there running and moving 49 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,079 Speaker 1: moving well. So it's just a lot of skill players 50 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 1: and I think that makes it tough one a defense. 51 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 1: But you can't key in on one guy. Uh, so 52 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 1: many good players out there on you know. I think 53 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 1: we all have to do our job and play well Sunday. 54 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 1: Thank you. I hope you have power. Next question by 55 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 1: Grease Man. How do I follow that up? First of all, 56 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 1: can I apologize on behalf of the media. Yeah, he 57 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 1: already turned his camera off and probably that picture. Look 58 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 1: at the picture. I mean he's looking like I don't 59 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 1: even what there is. Oh yeah, Devin, just like your 60 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 1: your snap counts always like one hundred percent, right, I mean. 61 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:09,639 Speaker 1: And so to not see you on the field after 62 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,960 Speaker 1: that play where you were reaching out for the pick um, 63 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 1: obviously something something was bothering you. And I know game 64 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 1: conditions might have been part of it the score, but 65 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 1: can you give us any insight as to just sort 66 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,240 Speaker 1: of what what you're dealing with and how it might 67 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 1: affect you going forward. Yeah, I mean I would say like, 68 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 1: I'm I'm gonna work my butt off to be out 69 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 1: there Sunday. I think, um, uh, my time here does 70 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 1: one thing that's always stuck out to me from Bill 71 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 1: of just the dependability part of being available on Sundays 72 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 1: goes a long way in this league. So um, you 73 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 1: know I think for me, like usual, like I'm gonna 74 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 1: try to be out there everything in my power to 75 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 1: be out there. You know, obviously Sunday not being able 76 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 1: to finish the game and play more, uh, you know 77 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 1: it sucks. You know, I think for me being out there, 78 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,119 Speaker 1: a lot team counting on me to be out there, 79 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 1: so um, nothing not can do what happens Sunday. But 80 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 1: you know I'm gonna I'm gonna work on but off 81 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 1: to be out there Sunday. And thanks, And I know 82 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 1: you know I was joking from Mike. We love Mike. 83 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 1: He's okay, go, next question Allan to you, Ray, Thanks Aaron, 84 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 1: Hi deaf, Hey doing I'm doing Allen okay. Thanks. Um. 85 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 1: You know in all your years with Bill, you know 86 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,479 Speaker 1: that he is praiseworthy of all of his opponents. No 87 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 1: matter who he plays, you've always hear positive words from 88 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 1: him on his opponents, but he is praise this week 89 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 1: has been effusive when it comes to Justin Herbert. For 90 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 1: what you say from what you see, Uh, it sounds 91 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,479 Speaker 1: to be from from reading a lot that that this 92 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 1: praise is worthy of this player. Yeah. I mean there's 93 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 1: not many people I was saying the NFL that has 94 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,280 Speaker 1: seen more football and Bill so um, I mean even 95 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 1: last year getting ready to play him, just talking about 96 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 1: um him as a rookie and what Bill saw and 97 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 1: what his ability and what he could do on the 98 00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 1: feel um And like I said earlier, he's a better 99 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,480 Speaker 1: player or now than he was last year, just from experience, 100 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 1: just the idea of being out there every game, seeing 101 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,159 Speaker 1: things that defensive to throw at him. And he's been 102 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 1: great so far this season. So our works will be 103 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:13,919 Speaker 1: cut out for us. I think you know they're going 104 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 1: to be at home, be comfortable, coming off a boy 105 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 1: a week. They'll be ready to go. And I think 106 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:22,280 Speaker 1: it's all starts with Herbert, his ability to read defenses, 107 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,039 Speaker 1: get the ball out where they want to get the 108 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 1: ball out to the skill guys. But also I think 109 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,159 Speaker 1: one thing that probably won't get talked about a lot 110 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:33,039 Speaker 1: with him is his ability to buy some extra time. 111 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 1: And then as he buys extra time, if you have 112 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 1: any type of breakdown in the defense, the ball's going 113 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 1: vertical because he can get it out there really easy. 114 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 1: It's just a flick of the risk and the ball 115 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 1: sixty yards down the field. So that's something that we 116 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 1: just got to be prepared for, prepare for. And I 117 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:51,919 Speaker 1: think it's one of those games, like I said earlier, 118 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 1: it's to kind of do your job where everyone has 119 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,159 Speaker 1: to show up and play well for us to have 120 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 1: a chance defensively. And Bill said, Bill said this morning, 121 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:05,359 Speaker 1: the receivers from the Chargers are good catch and run players. 122 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,480 Speaker 1: Does that affect how close you can get to these 123 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 1: players because if they catch the ball and they're good runners, 124 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 1: they can get buy you. So you have to like 125 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 1: sort of um, divide your divide your space and just 126 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 1: being safe in terms of when they catch the ball. No, 127 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 1: I mean when you talk about good good run after 128 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,920 Speaker 1: catch guys, you talk about doing a good job tackling. 129 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 1: So when if it's in zone, it's guys reading the 130 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,719 Speaker 1: quarterback and coming in and taking our leverage as we 131 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 1: come in as tackler, as you as tacklers using our 132 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 1: help defenders coming in leveraging the ball. If you're one 133 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 1: on one and man and man coverage is see a 134 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,680 Speaker 1: guy catches it, getting them down on the ground, And 135 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:43,919 Speaker 1: it's probably quite the opposite, like we don't want to 136 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,360 Speaker 1: give them a lot of space to make you miss 137 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 1: and get up field and get to the next gall 138 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 1: We want to really be able to close in on them. Um, 139 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 1: it's around, you know, all of these guys, and I'll 140 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:57,040 Speaker 1: probably say Eckler starts that off because he has a 141 00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,800 Speaker 1: chance sometimes when somebody's check downs as people kind of 142 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,839 Speaker 1: get out of there, and you know he's able to 143 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:04,839 Speaker 1: be you know, five yards from the from the line 144 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 1: of scrimmage, he catches it and guys converge. Now you're 145 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 1: tackling a quick, strong, fast guy. That's that's tough to 146 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 1: get a hand on him. So, Um, that's really what 147 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 1: you want to talk about, leverage and gang tackling. Thanks dev, 148 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 1: no problem. Next question, Matthew fabin Y Devin Um wanted 149 00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 1: to ask you about Brandon Bolden. Um. You've been around 150 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 1: him just about as long as anybody in the locker room. 151 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,080 Speaker 1: What's it been like to see him carve out this 152 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 1: type of role at this point in his career, after 153 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,119 Speaker 1: everything he's done on special teams, to see him chipping 154 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 1: in on offense the way he has, Oh yeah, I 155 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 1: think because I've been here, you know, when he first 156 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 1: got here is not surprising. You know. I think people 157 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:53,119 Speaker 1: that were that were following the team at twenty twelve 158 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 1: when b was a rookie opportunity he got. You know, 159 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 1: he played really well. I remember being in Buffalo him 160 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 1: having a hundred yard game rushing. Anytime he's really gotten 161 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 1: in the game at the running back position, he's played 162 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 1: at a high level. And you know, obviously with the 163 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,000 Speaker 1: huge boy that we had from sweet Feet being out, 164 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 1: Bolden is one of those super versatile backs that can 165 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 1: play on third down, that can pass, protect, that can 166 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 1: catch the ball, can run the ball. So I think 167 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 1: throughout my years here, he's always been a guy that, 168 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 1: you know, when we wanted to kind of be in 169 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 1: between offensively, you know, being in a passing threat, but 170 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:33,080 Speaker 1: also the ability to run. BB has been the guy 171 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,240 Speaker 1: that you can use back there in the backfield just 172 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 1: because defenses can't like you can't plug in on one 173 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,679 Speaker 1: thing because he can do both so well. So UM 174 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:43,079 Speaker 1: and I would say we saw it on the other 175 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 1: side of the ball a few years ago when he 176 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,200 Speaker 1: was in Miami and we went down to play him 177 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 1: in Miami. He showed up in a big way for them. 178 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,679 Speaker 1: I think he had two touchdowns that game. So his 179 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 1: ability to play on offense I think doesn't surprise any 180 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 1: of the guys that's been here and seen him throughout 181 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,440 Speaker 1: his career. What to like having him back in the 182 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,959 Speaker 1: locker room after he wasn't around last year, Oh, it's great. 183 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,840 Speaker 1: I mean, high energy, UM. I think he's one of 184 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 1: the best people you can have as a teammate. UM. 185 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 1: I think his ability to let guys know what he's learned, 186 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:19,120 Speaker 1: experiences knowledge, but also to just be like a good 187 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,960 Speaker 1: friend slash teammate in the locker room Like that's bb 188 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 1: Um every day, you know, talking to offensive lineman, defensive line. 189 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 1: Like he has a relationship with almost every guy on 190 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 1: the team, no matter what the position. And I think 191 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 1: it comes from obviously, I think offensive skill guys always 192 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 1: get along with the skilled defensive guys UM. And then 193 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,560 Speaker 1: because he plays on special teams, he's always with UM 194 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 1: a lot of the guys, So he's just a great 195 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,840 Speaker 1: guy to having a locker room. Thanks Devin, no problem. 196 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 1: The last question Chris fran Hey, dev are you yeah good? 197 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 1: I want to ask you about this game. And you 198 00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,319 Speaker 1: know the context of where you are and where you 199 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 1: want to go where obviously you have to beat good 200 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 1: teams if you want to get to where you want 201 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,200 Speaker 1: to go? How important is this game kind of in 202 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:10,199 Speaker 1: that in that lens, I mean, I would say it's important. 203 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,080 Speaker 1: It's the next game, you know. I think we talked 204 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:15,199 Speaker 1: about it last week of not living in the past, 205 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 1: not living off of what it could have been, what 206 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,319 Speaker 1: we should have did better in this game. Man, if 207 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 1: we would have just did this, we could have beat 208 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,680 Speaker 1: that team and just locking in on what's in front 209 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 1: of us. And I think we did a good job 210 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,680 Speaker 1: of that last week, and I think this week is 211 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 1: important of understanding like what we need to do to 212 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 1: play well in the winning games and then plugging and 213 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,360 Speaker 1: playing against the Chargers now, like locking in on what 214 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 1: do they do well, what's their offense like, what's their 215 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 1: defense like, what are their strength and special teams? Like 216 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,080 Speaker 1: that's what we have to do. I think they'll play well. 217 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 1: And I think each game now we gotta go to 218 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 1: the think obviously, beginning season you're doing things, you're trying 219 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:55,480 Speaker 1: to find out who you are. And think now we're 220 00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 1: at the point where we gotta know who we are 221 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,439 Speaker 1: and we gotta know what we need to do to well. 222 00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 1: And the next team on our schedule is the Chargers. 223 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 1: And you know, obviously, like you said, they're a good 224 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:08,600 Speaker 1: football team. They've beaten some good teams in this league. 225 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,079 Speaker 1: They've played well, they've done you know, at the top 226 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,240 Speaker 1: of the league, and third down on offense, a good 227 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,200 Speaker 1: third down defense, like they're they're one of the better 228 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:19,440 Speaker 1: teams in the NFL so far. So we got to 229 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,439 Speaker 1: come ready to play. We got to do the things 230 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,720 Speaker 1: that we talk about all week on Sunday. And I 231 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 1: think that's why it's important, because we need to start 232 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 1: developing a consistent way to play and doing that weekend 233 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,000 Speaker 1: and week out. And I start Sunday in LA And 234 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 1: how much have you enjoyed this year as compared to 235 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 1: last year, where obviously the record is still not where 236 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:42,079 Speaker 1: you want it to be. But has there been a 237 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 1: level of enjoyment of having the new guys um the 238 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 1: way they've approached the game. Mac at quarterback. Obviously the 239 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:52,240 Speaker 1: COVID stuff not as prevalent as last year. How would 240 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 1: you how would you kind of rize how you're feeling 241 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 1: about this season terms of joy and playing the game. Yeah, 242 00:11:57,960 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 1: I mean, I think, like you said, the new guy, 243 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 1: you know, rookies free at all has been great. But 244 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 1: I mean to not have I mean, you guys know, 245 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 1: to not have to deal with COVID. To me, there's 246 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 1: nothing bigger and more enjoyable this year than not having 247 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,839 Speaker 1: to be walking up to the club suites and then 248 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 1: walking to this place because we need to be spaced out. 249 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,440 Speaker 1: So just to be able to have football kind of 250 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:23,960 Speaker 1: like it was in the past with fans and everything 251 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,280 Speaker 1: has been an incredible blessing and I think it made 252 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:30,480 Speaker 1: us all realize how much we took for granted from 253 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 1: the game. So to me, that's just been one of 254 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,920 Speaker 1: the best parts of kind of being in this season. 255 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 1: And then, obviously, like you said, trying to improve and 256 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 1: get better with you know, all of the changes that 257 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,679 Speaker 1: we've had. Now it's trying to try to go out 258 00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,319 Speaker 1: there and start winning games because then obviously that will 259 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 1: make the season a lot better. Thanks, no problem, Thank you, Denis. 260 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 1: Have a good one.
