1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,560
Speaker 1: Hey, coach, how are you good? Patty? How are you good? Help?

2
00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:08,240
Speaker 1: You had a wonderful holiday. Thank you, I appreciate it.

3
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:10,799
Speaker 1: I have a couple for you, if I may sum.

4
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 1: I wanted to start off by asking you about the

5
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 1: situation over the weekend after a loss. Usually you know,

6
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 1: it's go back to work and whatnot. But in this case,

7
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,479
Speaker 1: you did. Your team stood toe to toe with the

8
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings, the best the second best team in the NFC.

9
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 1: Is there something that you can take away from that

10
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 1: in terms of extra confidence perhaps and knowing that you

11
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 1: you know, you were able to stay in toe to

12
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 1: toe and use it as a litmus test, so to speak. No,

13
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:42,200
Speaker 1: I'd say we try to do the same thing each week, Patty.

14
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 1: We go back and look at some of the things

15
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 1: we did well, some of the things we can improve on,

16
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:49,520
Speaker 1: and you know, get ready for for this week. Um,

17
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:51,239
Speaker 1: you know, try to be as consistent as we can

18
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 1: with it. I don't think you're ever happy or satisfied

19
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: after a loss and really any shape or form, so

20
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: but you have to go back review it, correct the

21
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 1: things you need to correct, and get ready for next week.

22
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 1: And then I'd like to ask you about Isaiah Hodgens.

23
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,680
Speaker 1: A lot of people talk about how he had familiarity

24
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,839
Speaker 1: with the system that you're currently rutting. But the other

25
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 1: aspect of it is you have to build chemistry between

26
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: a receiver and a quarterback, and Isaiah seems to have

27
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: done that very quickly with Daniel. What do you attribute

28
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 1: that to? I think he's smart, tough, dependable. It works

29
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 1: extremely hard, you know in between periods, you know, he's

30
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: usually thrown there with Daniel on a variety of routes,

31
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: or they're talking about things that you know we've installed

32
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 1: and and make sure that he sees it through the

33
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:44,119
Speaker 1: eyes of a quarterback. UM. So he's done a good

34
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 1: job for us since he's been here. Thank you got it,

35
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 1: bruth back Brian, Hope you had a merry Christmas. Same

36
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: to you. What do you think of your fans this

37
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: year and what would it mean to who would a

38
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 1: big game this week and in front of them, they've

39
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 1: been outstanding. UM, very thankful for all the support that

40
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 1: our organization gets. UM the following. Look, we we work

41
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: extremely hard each week to to put a good product

42
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: on the field, and UM, you know one of the

43
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 1: reasons is, you know, for our fan base. Um so too,

44
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: you know, play at home, um in late December, an

45
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: important game. UM, you know it's it's important to us.

46
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: I know it's important to them, and we'll do everything

47
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: we can do to be ready to go. Thank you,

48
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 1: percover just one picking any more news, one disease or

49
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: any other any other thing crop up in the last

50
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,639
Speaker 1: Um No, i'd say, you know, normal bumps and bruises.

51
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,399
Speaker 1: I think because he's he's got treatment the last couple

52
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: of days. We'll see where he's at, you know, tomorrow,

53
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: the next day, all the way through Friday, and you know,

54
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,119
Speaker 1: we'll see if he's uh, if he's able to go. Um,

55
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: but we have we really haven't done anything these last

56
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: couple of days, so you know, we'll see. Okay, did

57
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: you get to talk to him after the game. It

58
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,959
Speaker 1: seemed like he held out some hope that this wasn't

59
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 1: gonna be that bad. Yeah. No, I think I think

60
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 1: he's he's improved from where he was, and we'll go

61
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 1: here these next couple of days and see where he's at. Uh.

62
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:28,639
Speaker 1: The other thing I want to ask you is, so

63
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: it's always the biggest game because it's the next game.

64
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 1: But obviously this game, right in front of you is

65
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:37,119
Speaker 1: the is the chance to be in the playoffs, regardless

66
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: of what else happens anywhere else. Do you make that

67
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 1: point to them this week that this is a playoff

68
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: game more or less? No, it's our next game. I

69
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: think everybody knows. I mean, I think everybody knows what

70
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 1: you just said. But you know, where we what we

71
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: can control is again the same stuff we try to

72
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 1: control each week is making sure we're prepared ready to

73
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 1: go and go out there and put our best foot forward.

74
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 1: And the one last thing is, uh, you get to

75
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 1: watch the team that you have to play this week tonight. Uh,

76
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: and it's they're gonna start Nick Foles. Um, how closely

77
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: you watch that game? How strange is it that you

78
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: might have to play Folds who hasn't played all really

79
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: all season, um, and hasn't played the last two seasons. Uh. Well, yeah, yeah,

80
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 1: certainly we'll watch that game. We'll watch it on television,

81
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 1: we'll watch it when we get the coaches tape in.

82
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 1: And again, your job as a coach and a player

83
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 1: is to prepare for you know, whoever you're gonna face. Um,

84
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: so that's what we'll have to do. Thank you, you

85
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 1: got it Brian's lady. Hey Brian, how are you good? Ryan?

86
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: How are you good? Couple? I got three things for you,

87
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: McKinney and a dory. Any chance they're you know, limited

88
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,040
Speaker 1: and practice back on the field this week trending towards

89
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 1: playing or same same as where they've been. Actually, I

90
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 1: don't have enough to give to you. I think a door.

91
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 1: He's making progress in the right direction. Again, where that is,

92
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 1: I think we'll see by the end of the week.

93
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: But definitely he's making progress, So there's a chance. So

94
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: see by the end of the week. So there's a chance. Yeah,

95
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: I see by the end of the week. Okay, ums

96
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: fourth quarter runs the last couple of days, I mean

97
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: you made I felt like you made a point after

98
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,919
Speaker 1: the Washington game. I'm saying he ran like a power back,

99
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,600
Speaker 1: which oftentimes critics of him say he doesn't, and then

100
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 1: he certainly did on that fourth quarter touchdown run against Indy.

101
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 1: What have you against Minnesota? What have you seen from

102
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: him specifically in the fourth quarter with maybe kicking in

103
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 1: to another gear and lower in his shoulder. Yeah, no, Look,

104
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 1: Sa Kwan has done a good job for us all year.

105
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,159
Speaker 1: He runs hard. I think he makes good decisions with

106
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 1: the ball and where to run it. And he's a

107
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 1: talented player, so um, I mean he's one of our

108
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: better players. So you know, good players have to play well,

109
00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:00,279
Speaker 1: particularly in the fourth quarter of close games. Then the

110
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 1: last thing to follow up on, Bob, like you said,

111
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:06,159
Speaker 1: everybody knows it that it's uh, you know, it's winning

112
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 1: in kind of game. How You've been in enough of those,

113
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,479
Speaker 1: you know in your career with other places, you really

114
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,040
Speaker 1: don't approach it any differently. You really kind of ignore

115
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: the elephant in the room with the guys that know

116
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 1: that's your public message. But with the guys, you really

117
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 1: just keep it in the biggest game. Next game, you

118
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 1: don't have to address, you know, the elephant in the

119
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: room that there's a little more meaning control your own

120
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 1: destiny this game where you didn't have that against Washington

121
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 1: or Minnesota. I think we just try to control our

122
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 1: own destiny each week by trying to win a game. Um,

123
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:38,280
Speaker 1: and the goal is always to try to go one

124
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:42,679
Speaker 1: and oh and that will be no different this week. Thanks,

125
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 1: you got it, Paul Schwartz. Okay, Brian, Paul, Hey, um,

126
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna try to crack this and done a little

127
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,280
Speaker 1: more about the playoffs and things. UM, just as far

128
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 1: as you you've been around so many different teams at

129
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 1: this point of the season, they've been out of it, right, Um,

130
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 1: you know, playing pride, as they say, teams that have clinched,

131
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: Teams that are in your situation where there's you know,

132
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 1: a chance whether you win or you need help, that

133
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: kind of thing. Do you have you noticed that? Um?

134
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: This time of year is a different motivator. UM. Often

135
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: for teams, teams that are out of it, maybe the

136
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 1: coach has to you know, let's let's you know, finish

137
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 1: strong and teams that are in it. You know what

138
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I mean, it's I know what you're saying again.

139
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 1: You know, as a professional, we all have a job

140
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: to do and you take a lot of pride in

141
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: your work, regardless of where you're at the season, what

142
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 1: the records are. I mean, everybody is a professional in

143
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 1: this business. Myself, coaches, the players, and scouts. You guys

144
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 1: were all professionals. And I think the best thing you

145
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: can do is just control what you can control, which

146
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 1: is the things you need to control this week. UM.

147
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 1: All the other things, there's no real sense, And I

148
00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 1: mean everybody knows what what the game is this week. UM,

149
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 1: I think what's the most important is, you know, how

150
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 1: do we improve our blocking, our decision making, getting off blocks,

151
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 1: are tackling, um our units are like everything, all all

152
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 1: that stuff is really what matters, and that's where our

153
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 1: focus needs to be. Have you found in your experience

154
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 1: that as a coordinator and you know and assistant and

155
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 1: maybe you know in this time as a head coach

156
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 1: that when you're trying to get them to you know,

157
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 1: concentrate on different blocks, Concentrate on coverage, concentrate on all

158
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: the little things you think are important to win a game.

159
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 1: That their ears are open wider now because of what

160
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 1: could come next as opposed to they know in two

161
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 1: weeks they're going home and that's it. Yeah. I think

162
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 1: I think that's you know, you bring the right type

163
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:47,839
Speaker 1: of people in your organization who again our professionals, Um,

164
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:50,679
Speaker 1: you know this is important to all of us. This

165
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 1: is our our jobs. And I think that when you

166
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:58,199
Speaker 1: have the right people in your building again, regardless of

167
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: your record or anything like that, you know you're you

168
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: want to go out there and put your best foot

169
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: forward and do everything you can do to win that week.

170
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 1: Thanks you got it and Valentine, Hey, Brian, I've got

171
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 1: I've got two for you. The first is sort of

172
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 1: a bigger picture question. You guys are in position to

173
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 1: clinch a playoff spot, but not a lot of people

174
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 1: expected that this year. UM, did you know? I guess

175
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 1: the way I want to ask it is did you

176
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 1: expect it? And to what do you attribute? You know

177
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 1: that the success that you've had so far. Yeah, I

178
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 1: think when you when you start out, UM, you know,

179
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: this is our first year trying to implement our systems,

180
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: and you know, put together the best team we can

181
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 1: possibly put together and go out there and do everything

182
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:59,719
Speaker 1: we can do each day too to win that day. UM.

183
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,319
Speaker 1: And if you do that and concentrate on those things,

184
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 1: then you know, you know, hopefully the results will come.

185
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 1: They don't always come. I've said that before. We've seen that,

186
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: UM obviously this year, but you know, focus on the

187
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:16,839
Speaker 1: things that are important and you know, hopefully you get

188
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 1: the results that you're working hard to get. UM, and

189
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: constantly monitor you know, really everything, UM, well that scheme,

190
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:28,719
Speaker 1: decision making, practice, habits. UM. You know, you evaluate the

191
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 1: film and correct the mistakes that you've got to make.

192
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 1: I mean those are the things that that I focus on, UM,

193
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 1: and I think that our coaches focus on and that

194
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 1: trickles down to the players, UM, focusing on the things

195
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 1: that they can control. And just the second thing I

196
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 1: wanted to ask you about is a player, since he's

197
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:48,439
Speaker 1: come back from the spring d M c L Evan

198
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 1: Neil seems to have really had some struggles in especially

199
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 1: in past protection. What are you seeing from Evan over

200
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 1: the last the last couple of games and where do

201
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 1: you think you really need to get better the final

202
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:05,680
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. I'd say Evan's improved since he's gotten here. UM.

203
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 1: I really, you know, all of us can continue to

204
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 1: improve and you know, get better on the things that

205
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 1: we need to get better in. UM. You know, not

206
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 1: just Evan, really everybody on our team, starting with the

207
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 1: coaches all the way down to our players. And that's

208
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 1: what we'll try to work on. But you know, he's smart,

209
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 1: he's tough, he's dependable. UM. You know, he's done a

210
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 1: lot of good things too. Thank you. Stordan ran On,

211
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:40,079
Speaker 1: Hey Brian, what's going on? Hey Jordan Horre, Hey, uh,

212
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: just real quick on a door you said you're gonna

213
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 1: see by the end of the we get sounded like

214
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 1: you're at least anticipating him practicing this week. Is that?

215
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: Is that a fair assumping there, I'd say, we'll see

216
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 1: on that, um Again, each week he's got progressively better.

217
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 1: Tomorrow bo, I'll walk through, UM, so we'll see where

218
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,440
Speaker 1: he's at with the trainers and stuff, the rehabbing that

219
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,599
Speaker 1: he's doing, and then you know, by the end of

220
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 1: the week, we'll see you know, maybe he will be,

221
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 1: maybe he won't. I think it's too early to give

222
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 1: you that answer. And then, UM, I'm curious where making

223
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 1: the playoffs was or was it on your list of goals?

224
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 1: And obviously you're trying to build a program here, right

225
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,440
Speaker 1: and you're one where was making the list on the

226
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 1: on your list of goals or was it even a

227
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 1: goal for you? Yeah? No, I just say we try

228
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:30,719
Speaker 1: to you know, we again, we try to win each day. UM.

229
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 1: I think if you stacked good days together and that

230
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 1: leads to good weeks, you know, as you keep going

231
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 1: throughout the season, you know, you improve and um, you know,

232
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:45,200
Speaker 1: just improving I'd say overall our play or coaching, you know,

233
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:49,080
Speaker 1: keep doing that all the way through. UM, but certainly

234
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 1: you want to try to win every game you play.

235
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 1: Jordan's so thankful for the position that we're in. Um,

236
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 1: but there's a lot of work to needs to be done,

237
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 1: and you know it starts this week just like every

238
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 1: other week we've had. So then is there a bonus

239
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 1: kind of for you know, like a peripheral benefit sort

240
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 1: of to make if you do make the playoffs that like, hey,

241
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 1: you know we're trying to build something here at least start,

242
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 1: guys do gain experience, right, I know maybe he didn't

243
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,680
Speaker 1: specify that at the start, but do you see the

244
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 1: benefit or do you feel there is a big benefit

245
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,359
Speaker 1: to be able to make it or have that experience

246
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 1: for your guys? Yeah? I don't even think that far

247
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: down the road. I just think let's let's get ready

248
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 1: to play you know, the Colts and do the things

249
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 1: we need to do this week to put ourselves in

250
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 1: good position. Art Stableton, Hey, Brian, Hope you're well. Thanks. Uh.

251
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 1: You know, you've been very clear about your philosophy, you know,

252
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 1: really the entire season, but especially the last couple of

253
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 1: weeks when we keep asking you about bigger game, bigger game,

254
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,200
Speaker 1: bigger game, How much of that for you in in

255
00:13:56,360 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 1: year one? Uh? Is knowing this team and the homework

256
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,679
Speaker 1: you put into the players on this team, seeing how

257
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 1: this team reacts, and knowing what what really this locker

258
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 1: room needs as opposed to what you may think, you know,

259
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 1: another team three years from now might might need in

260
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 1: this situation. That's a good question. UM. I think every

261
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 1: team that I've been part of it certainly different. Um. Obviously,

262
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 1: this is my first year as a head coach, so

263
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: it's not just dealing with a position group or the

264
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 1: offensive side of the ball. I think you're you know,

265
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 1: in this position, you're constantly trying to get a feel

266
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 1: for your your players, your team. UM, things you can

267
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 1: talk to them about. But I'd say the one thing

268
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 1: that I just fall back on, art is you know,

269
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 1: in all the years that that I've been doing this,

270
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 1: I think being consistent and focusing on the things you

271
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 1: can control, which you know, I know is a boring answer,

272
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 1: but it's the truth. Um, that's all we really can do.

273
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 1: Thinking about what's going to go on a week from

274
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 1: now or two weeks what happened five weeks ago. I

275
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 1: think you learned lessons from those things that happened in

276
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 1: the past. And you know, I certainly have in my

277
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 1: you know, years of coaching football and watching how different

278
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 1: coaches do it and watching how different teams react. But

279
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 1: every team is different, every season is different. Heck, every

280
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 1: week is different. UM, So you know what I've learned

281
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 1: and what I try to approach not just you know

282
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: i'd say in this business, but each day is to

283
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 1: just try to win the day. Thanks, we'll take two more.

284
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 1: Tom Canavan, Brian, how you doing good? Tim? How are

285
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 1: you good? I hope you had a good holiday, same

286
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 1: to you. UM. Quick question, and this is kind of

287
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 1: non football question. You were in the hotel I assume

288
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 1: on Friday night. And when did you hear about it

289
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 1: shooting at the mall? When did you get concerned about

290
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 1: your players? I mean or did you find everything afterwards

291
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 1: all over a one? No. I heard about it as

292
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 1: it was as it was going on. UM. And I'd

293
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 1: say that the communication from our security department with with

294
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 1: Jerry Mead and James Ryan and the rest of everybody

295
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 1: that was involved in that. That and Laura Young, who

296
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 1: I know can't say enough good things about UM. Just

297
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 1: letting everybody know kind of what's going on where people

298
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 1: are making sure you know when you have a situation

299
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 1: like that, the number one thing that goes through everybody's

300
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 1: mind is just the safety of of really everybody involved.

301
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 1: And for me it was, you know, being a head coach,

302
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 1: you're you're concerned about really everybody in the organization making

303
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 1: sure that everybody is safe. So the communication between the

304
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 1: people that were in the mall um with l Y

305
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:50,280
