1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:04,000
Speaker 1: What was your message to the offensive unit when James

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:05,840
Speaker 1: White got stopped on that third and five in the

3
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:11,400
Speaker 1: second quarter Sunday. Obviously you were pretty upset on the sideline. Yeah,

4
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 1: you know, Um, and look, that's that's my responsibility. Um,

5
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:18,960
Speaker 1: you know, our our overall performance. I feel like that's

6
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:21,799
Speaker 1: what you know, that's what my job is. And um,

7
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:24,639
Speaker 1: and so I didn't do a good enough job obviously

8
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 1: on Sunday. We didn't score enough points, didn't you know,

9
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 1: produce enough first downs, didn't control the game at all,

10
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:32,960
Speaker 1: and and uh, you know, we weren't playing as well

11
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,839
Speaker 1: as any of us would like at that point in

12
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:40,880
Speaker 1: the day. And um, I think part of coaching is understanding.

13
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 1: You know. There's um times where you know, you know,

14
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 1: you you do things quietly and maybe pull somebody aside.

15
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: And there's other times where you you didn't want to

16
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 1: just try to you know, create a spark or what

17
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 1: have you, and and just refocus on the things that

18
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 1: are really important. And and that's really all I was doing.

19
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: But you know, I don't do that a lot. I

20
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 1: don't want to do that a lot. And our guys

21
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: are great about making sure that you know, nobody needs

22
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 1: to do that a lot, SOUM, just you know, a

23
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 1: one time situation. I think that you want to try

24
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 1: to refocus on the things that are important and try to,

25
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 1: you know, see if we can't go out there and

26
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: play a little better. Hey, if I could follow up, Josh,

27
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 1: are you more inclined to do that if you have

28
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 1: more new players on offense we're on a particular unit

29
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 1: or is it independent of that? You know, I would say, I,

30
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,320
Speaker 1: you know, I don't plan anything like that. I don't

31
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,680
Speaker 1: think any coach really does relative to if you know,

32
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 1: new players, old players, experienced players, young players first time.

33
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, as I said, I don't do

34
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: that much and I don't plan on doing it much,

35
00:01:56,160 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 1: and so that really isn't something that I would even

36
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 1: consider or think about, you know, in that regard. M.

37
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: Thank you, Josh M. Next question Karen Gredian, followed by

38
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: Ben Bull. Good morning, Josh, Good morning, Karen. Um. I

39
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: was just wondering, in the in the scheme of things

40
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: in planning an offense, how necessary or important it is

41
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 1: to have a perimeter threat or a really good perimeter threat. Well,

42
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: I think you know you you want to be as

43
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:46,119
Speaker 1: difficult to defend as you possibly can be. And so

44
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:51,519
Speaker 1: the more things that the defense has to defend, the

45
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 1: more you can keep them off balance, the more that

46
00:02:56,120 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: they may struggle to try to spend a lot of

47
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 1: time and effort taking away something else, you know. So

48
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: it's like to me, it's like having a solid running

49
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 1: game and being able to throw play action passes. You know,

50
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 1: if you you don't don't run the ball well enough,

51
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: it's hard to you know, it's hard to make the

52
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 1: defense come up there and honor the play actions. You know,

53
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: if you if you have good perimeter players and you know,

54
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 1: you don't have great interior guys, and they may play

55
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 1: more split safety and roll up on your guys out there,

56
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: and you know, tend to double cover those guys, and

57
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: then you know, you're forced to put the ball somewhere else. So,

58
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 1: you know, the better off you are at each spot,

59
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: or the better off that you do things offensively in

60
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: terms of complimenting things that you do, the more difficult

61
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 1: you can make it on the defense, and the harder

62
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 1: harder you are to defend. So we're always trying to

63
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: do that in any way, shape or form that we can.

64
00:03:57,720 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: We want to try to be complimentary with our scheme.

65
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: Want to be able to you know, run the ball

66
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 1: inside and outside, throw it inside and outside, throw it

67
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 1: you know, horizontally vertically. Um, you know, and and as

68
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: much as we can do that to try to avoid

69
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 1: becoming predictable, that's what we'd like to do. And if

70
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 1: I could just quickly follow, how would you rate Josh

71
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 1: Gordon as a perimeter player? Um? That's you know, UM,

72
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:30,720
Speaker 1: it's hard for me to say that. UM. I know,

73
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: you know, there's a lot of conversation about that. I

74
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 1: know what coach you know, Coach said, uh, and he

75
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,720
Speaker 1: he referenced that whole thing. So i'd have to you know,

76
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: it's been a while, so we'll have to see if

77
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: that develops that way and how you know, how it

78
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: comes along here as we as we go forward. Okay,

79
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: thanks Josh, Yeah, thank you. Our next question been born,

80
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 1: followed by full carry morning Josh, good morning. All right

81
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: here it is the big dream match up, Josh McDaniels

82
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,679
Speaker 1: going up against Map Exition and Defense this Sunday. Uh.

83
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: You know, he's had months and months to have stuff

84
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,600
Speaker 1: cooking up for you guys, and you guys same. Uh.

85
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:13,719
Speaker 1: You know that he knows you and you know him

86
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 1: and all of that. So what's it like preparing for

87
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 1: this type of matchup, for this Sunday. Um, two things

88
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,160
Speaker 1: strike me right off the top. One, either one of

89
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: us will be in a helmet and pads on Sunday night,

90
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: thank god. UM. And and in the outcome of these

91
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 1: games will always be determined by who, uh plays best

92
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: and whose guys go out there and execute, run, block, tackle,

93
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: you know, throw and catch, cover, defend and all those things.

94
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 1: Those are those are the things that are going to

95
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 1: determine the outcome. Won't be you know, myself and Matt

96
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 1: you know, out there you know, doing anything, but UM,

97
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: it is a it is a fun challenge. Matt's been

98
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 1: a great friend of mine for a long time. UM.

99
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:02,839
Speaker 1: He's extremely talented as a coach, as a great person. UM,

100
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 1: and you know he's I'm excited for him to have

101
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 1: this opportunity, UM, you know, to to be the head

102
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 1: coach of the Lions. And UM, I think you know

103
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: right now we're probably you know, all in the same

104
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,480
Speaker 1: boat in the National Football League. And and that's in

105
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 1: you know, in the situation of trying to improve our

106
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: football teams and trying to improve our side of the

107
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 1: Bowl so that we can get better from you know,

108
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 1: week one to week two, week two to week three, UM,

109
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:34,840
Speaker 1: and and continue our improvement throughout the course of this season. UM.

110
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 1: He's always been very difficult to a coach against when

111
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 1: he was here. UM. You know, he does a lot

112
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:44,600
Speaker 1: of different things to challenge you sychematically. UM. You know,

113
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: he he'll he'll keep you off balance. UM. There's there's

114
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 1: definitely an element of a spinning the wheel with Matt

115
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 1: uh that you know, you're going to really have to

116
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 1: do a great job of being alert and aware and

117
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,279
Speaker 1: and doing a great job of communicating during the course

118
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 1: of the game. And there's no question you're going to

119
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 1: have to make some adjustments. So there's some things as

120
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,359
Speaker 1: you just mentioned, UM, you know we've all had a

121
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: lot of time to you know, to talk and discuss

122
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: things and and uh. And as you go into a

123
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: game like this, UM, you know you've seen the things

124
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 1: you've seen and at the same time you're aware of

125
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: things that UM, you know there's some things you may

126
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 1: not have seen from from them yet in the six

127
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 1: games that we've been able to watch in the preseason

128
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 1: and the regular season that you know you're going to

129
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 1: get something different. So, UM, we're gonna try to to

130
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 1: to make sure we were we know what we're doing. Um,

131
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: we know it's going to be a big challenge there.

132
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 1: It's a hard place to play, uh, in the Dome

133
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 1: on the Sunday night. We know there'll be a lot

134
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 1: of energy there. Uh and Mad'll make it challenging every

135
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 1: step of the way. So excited to have the opportunity

136
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: to compete against him and his team. Um, they've got

137
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 1: a good group they're playing, They're they're gonna play better

138
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 1: and better every single week, which is what they've been doing. Um,

139
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: and to be a big challenge for us on Sunday night. Josh,

140
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 1: uh huh. And I'm sorry, guys, I'm going to take

141
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 1: three more questions here, So I'm gonna go Phil Curry,

142
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 1: Mike Giardi and my threefs go ahead. Hey gosh, um,

143
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 1: you guys. You guys have obviously acquired players mid season before,

144
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 1: and I'm wondering how you manage time when that happened.

145
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: How much time can you want to a new player

146
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 1: in order to try to bring him up to speed,

147
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 1: and what kind of resources, whether it's whether coaches are

148
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 1: players you rely on, maybe help that play. Yeah, there's

149
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 1: obviously if there's a lot of uh, you know, during

150
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 1: the course of the season, there's a lot of different

151
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 1: transactions get happened and we get you know, uh, we

152
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 1: may end up getting a different player or players you know,

153
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 1: you know, every week, possibly depending on an injury situation,

154
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: practice squad, this kind of thing. So this is something

155
00:08:59,920 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 1: you have to balance, you know, as a as a staff, um,

156
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,439
Speaker 1: whether you know it be the staff in general or

157
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 1: the individual position coach. Um, you know, you take the

158
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 1: time that you have that you're allowed with h with

159
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 1: these guys and spending and spend the time that's necessary

160
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 1: to try to get him, um, you know, up to speed.

161
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 1: It's impossible to simulate, you know, and replicate the you know,

162
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 1: the phase one, phase two, phase three training can't you

163
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,599
Speaker 1: can't do all that in one week. So um, you know,

164
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 1: if you get a player in the middle of the year,

165
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 1: you try to acclimate him as best you can to

166
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 1: the foundation of your system. And then also at the

167
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: same time, you know, if it's a game plan situation

168
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 1: for a specific opponent, so um, you do the best

169
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 1: you can. And every player is different, every situation is different. Um.

170
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 1: You know, some guys might have a you know, ability

171
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 1: to to play a larger role. Some guys might not.

172
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 1: You know, it's just all based on the individ vigial

173
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 1: person in the situation that you're dealing with that week.

174
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 1: But it's something that's not foreign. We're very used to

175
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 1: doing that on on a weekly basis. Um. We have

176
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 1: a process in place that we try to use to

177
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 1: help anybody that's new get caught up as best we

178
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 1: can and acclimated to our group. I think questions Mike, morning, job,

179
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 1: good morning. You have currently one homegrown receiver on your roster.

180
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 1: That thing's going who obviously you know was draft would

181
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 1: be coming out of school of a as a quarterback

182
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 1: and sort of a positions player. I'm cerious in your experience.

183
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 1: What is it about kid coming out of college that

184
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 1: makes them hard to pack as good fit in your system? Well,

185
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 1: I think again it's it's based on the individual that

186
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 1: you're talking about. I think you know there's been positions, um,

187
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 1: you know through time that you know that made me

188
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 1: need more time to develop than others. And there's and

189
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 1: again that goes back to the individual player. But I

190
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 1: think we've had a lot of guys that you know, uh,

191
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 1: that have come in and be able to pick up

192
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 1: things quickly, whatever position that might be. And then we've

193
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 1: had other guys that have taken a little bit longer.

194
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 1: That's a that's not an uncommon occurrence throughout the course

195
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 1: of the league. Is that you know, there's guys that

196
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 1: need uh, you need time, you need to develop them. Um.

197
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,560
Speaker 1: Some of them come in more ready than others from

198
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 1: the systems and the programs that they were in in college.

199
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 1: And you know it's our job to take them from

200
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,679
Speaker 1: wherever they're at when they get here and teach them,

201
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 1: coach them and develop them as best we can with

202
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 1: the time that we're given and try to get them

203
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 1: to learn what we need them to learn so that

204
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 1: they can go out there and execute well on the field. So,

205
00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 1: m you know, it's like I said, each situation is different. UM.

206
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 1: I know this that you know, we got a great

207
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 1: group of of people. We have a great staff that

208
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 1: works really hard, is very diligent about that and um,

209
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 1: and I'm excited about the group that we get to

210
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 1: coach each week. The last question, all right, thanks Stacy.

211
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 1: How are you today? Josh good, Michael, how you doing good?

212
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 1: Doing well? I'm thinking about what it would be like

213
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 1: to be coach Patricia this week, sort of leading a

214
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 1: team against the coach that you obviously have great respect

215
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 1: for and worked under for a long time. You have

216
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 1: the same experience back in oh nine. What was that

217
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 1: like for you? Um, you know, it was tough because

218
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 1: you know, you're uh, you know, you're you you you

219
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,559
Speaker 1: came from a place that you really gave you a

220
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 1: few your foundation and uh, you know you they're they

221
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 1: have a way of playing and he knows it, um,

222
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 1: you know, and he's sure he's going to try to

223
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 1: do the best job he can of getting his team

224
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:06,560
Speaker 1: ready to play the team that we have this year.

225
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 1: You know, he knows our system very well. You have

226
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 1: to balance that out, I think, you know you can't.

227
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 1: You can't try to get um, you know, every guy

228
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 1: in your building to know everything that they're doing or

229
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 1: could do or potentially could do, or you could overwhelm them.

230
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 1: You know. It's just it's there's a balance there, you know.

231
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 1: I think the focus you need to have is on

232
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 1: your team, which I'm sure Matt will do. You know,

233
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 1: he's already doing a good job of that, focusing on

234
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 1: his team the things he can control, as we will do.

235
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 1: We're going to try to focus on the things that

236
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: we can control. We don't have any control over the

237
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 1: things that they choose to do, or how they're going

238
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 1: to line up different players or what schemes they're going

239
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 1: to use. We're going to prepare as best we can,

240
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 1: try to make it as normal a week of preparation

241
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 1: as we possibly could. We have our normal seven days

242
00:13:56,640 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 1: to do it in as he does. You know. But um,

243
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's a it's an exciting time. I'd

244
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 1: say that, you know, he knows a lot of us here.

245
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 1: We know him. Um, he's a he's a great friend

246
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 1: and a good person, and and we've had a lot

247
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:13,559
Speaker 1: of great memories and opportunities to work together over the years.

248
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: And I'm sure he's going to be eager and excited

249
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:18,719
Speaker 1: to have the opportunity to compete against some of the

250
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 1: guys that he's been with for a number of years,

251
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 1: as we will. Um, and you know, and that's what

252
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 1: this is all about, going out there and giving our

253
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 1: best and trying to do the best thing we can

254
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 1: for our teams, which I know his team is going

255
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 1: to do. Thank you, guys, Okay, thanks us
