1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:04,280
Speaker 1: Cool. How'd you feel about the week of practice and

2
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:05,160
Speaker 1: focus this week.

3
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 2: In the building, same as it's been for the last

4
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 2: you know, ten weeks or so, whatever it is, it's

5
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:11,760
Speaker 2: been good.

6
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:12,640
Speaker 1: Guys have been on it.

7
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 2: Good concentration, details and practice and walk through, good.

8
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:19,280
Speaker 1: Stuff to coach off of.

9
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 2: And uh, today we'll finish up with a little fast

10
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 2: Friday tomorrow walk through. Get that feeling of the normalcy,

11
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 2: like it is just another week for the guys. Yeah,

12
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 2: I do, you know, I think that they understand what's

13
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 2: at stake without having to go and say, oh, this

14
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 2: could be our last practice, this could be our last

15
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 2: walk through, or you know, you go through those comments

16
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 2: or or thought process is just not where we're at.

17
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 2: So just keep going through the week. And that's what

18
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 2: it's kind of been, same as I know.

19
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,239
Speaker 3: There was a video or part of it last night

20
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 3: where you said you never mentioned the word super Bowl.

21
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 3: You really didn't mention the work playoffs as you told

22
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 3: us to. So now this week, how do you balance

23
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:02,279
Speaker 3: that finale of playoff games with the.

24
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 2: One no mentality? Yeah, I think that's just a result

25
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 2: that will come on Sunday that we'll have to figure

26
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 2: out what it is I mean, you don't put yourself

27
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 2: there at all. I have not put myself there at

28
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 2: all personally. Is you just keep trying to do what

29
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 2: you've been doing to the best of your ability, and

30
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,119
Speaker 2: then let the results be what they may and go

31
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 2: play your asses off on Sunday and for sixty minutes

32
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:31,680
Speaker 2: and see what the heck happens. So it's just the

33
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 2: way that this game works, the way that you have

34
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 2: to stay so singularly focused on your job, your execution,

35
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 2: your responsibilities, your details, the game plan, knowing your opponent

36
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 2: to the best of your ability, and then go play.

37
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 2: Because you let anything else get into your mind, it

38
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 2: just starts to cloud it and you start to think

39
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 2: about things that really don't matter.

40
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 3: Would you call it a play to Trevor and say,

41
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 3: like risk spand twenty three? What does that allow you

42
00:01:59,160 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 3: to add to.

43
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:08,239
Speaker 2: Checkwise reminders on the play or you know, different things

44
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 2: to think about for that specific player situation. More so

45
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 2: based like all right, hey you got four downs here

46
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 2: being smart right or whatever it is, It just kind

47
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 2: of allows you to throw a couple of pointers into them.

48
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 2: I haven't really had to give them too much, to

49
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 2: be honest with you, Outside of you know the preparation

50
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 2: that we have and go through the process. Or if

51
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 2: something's coming in that's not in the game plan, that's

52
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 2: just being called, you may want to give them a

53
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 2: little heads up as to what you're thinking quickly if

54
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 2: you can, if you have time. But you know, for

55
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 2: the most part that work is all done previous too,

56
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,399
Speaker 2: right like when you go through the game plan, when

57
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 2: we he and I and Grant and Spence go through

58
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:55,519
Speaker 2: the call sheet tomorrow and tomorrow afternoon and go through it.

59
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 2: What we're thinking, What are going to be our first

60
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 2: third down calls, short yardage, red zone, when.

61
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 1: We get to this area of the field, What are

62
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: we thinking.

63
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 2: You try to stick to those thought processes because that's

64
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 2: what he's now anticipating, unless things completely have changed based

65
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 2: on how they play and what they're doing in the game,

66
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 2: and so you try to keep it as rhythmic as possible.

67
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 2: But the wriskband at times does allow you to give

68
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 2: a couple more coaching points. They will start a call

69
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 2: sheet meeting Saturday morning. They'll probably go for about an

70
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 2: hour and then we go again before mass and Chapel

71
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 2: usually starts for about another hour or so, or we're

72
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 2: just going through priority calls. Here's the top calls in

73
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 2: both the play actions, the keepers, quick game screens, blah

74
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 2: blah blah, all that stuff, and then get into some

75
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 2: situational thought process for each third down window. All right, hey,

76
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 2: what's the first call? What's your order of these third downs?

77
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 2: Knowing that it could get tweaked a little bit in

78
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 2: game based on what you're getting, but you try to

79
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 2: go through a little bit of a process of how

80
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 2: you're gonna almost call it, or what's what he can

81
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 2: anticipate to hear in some of those situations, so that

82
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 2: when Sunday comes, it's not just like, well, I thought

83
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 2: you said we were calling that play fourth and now

84
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 2: you're gonna use it, you know. So it's just more

85
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 2: so to get on the same page ahead.

86
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 4: I know you don't have time for all the good

87
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 4: Tom more stories, but he talked about his retirement. Just

88
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 4: se your experience with him.

89
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 2: So much respect for Tom Moore. I mean to be

90
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 2: doing it and do it as long as he's He's

91
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:41,840
Speaker 2: been a pioneer in offensive football, like the levels concepts

92
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 2: in the past game, so much that I learned from him,

93
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 2: not even last just last year, Like if you go

94
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 2: back and watch their tape from all those years in Indy.

95
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,839
Speaker 2: Everybody in the NFL now is running the levels concepts

96
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 2: because of what they were doing and how much freedom

97
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 2: he gave the quarterback the line of scrimmage. Sometimes he

98
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 2: was telling me like they'd have three four calls right,

99
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,600
Speaker 2: it was like run to run the pass. And Peyton

100
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:09,479
Speaker 2: was getting to those things based on the looks that

101
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 2: he was being presented. And Tom had a great presentation

102
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 2: to our players and coaches that he would do every year,

103
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 2: and it was, you know, just talking about the seven

104
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 2: deadly sins of coaching and playing.

105
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: I can't rattle them all off.

106
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 2: The top of my head right now, but it was

107
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 2: just about, hey, keep the main thing the main thing,

108
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:34,159
Speaker 2: and teaching young players and young coaches how to kind

109
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 2: of survive in this league. And I think that was

110
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:41,280
Speaker 2: really cool knowledge coming from him. Got a lot of

111
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 2: respect and appreciate what he's done for our game. I

112
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,160
Speaker 2: don't know if I'm fortunate enough to write, I mean

113
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 2: he's been. I mean Tom Moore is he All he's

114
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 2: wanted to do is why he's done it this long

115
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,239
Speaker 2: is because he wants to help people.

116
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: Like That's it. There's no ego involved.

117
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:05,720
Speaker 2: There's no I'm doing this for my accolades or for

118
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 2: me or for any of those things. It's truly because

119
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 2: he wants to teach and help. Bucky Irving was in

120
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 2: his office every single day at five point thirty in

121
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 2: the morning, hanging out with Tom. I mean, if you're

122
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 2: not helping mentor somebody and get somebody through their rookie

123
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 2: year and be a part of success, I don't know

124
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,479
Speaker 2: what it is. And so that's what Tom Moore is.

125
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:31,599
Speaker 2: That's what he's about, and that's what you hope to

126
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 2: take from him. Guys like him that are really trying

127
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 2: to help our game. Foyer has been on the field

128
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 2: for well over one thousand defensive snaps this season. How

129
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 2: important it has his consistent presence been out there for

130
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 2: the growth of the defense and the excellence of the defense. Yeah, critical, critical,

131
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:51,719
Speaker 2: the communication, his understanding of the game plan. He takes

132
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:55,160
Speaker 2: the defense through a bunch of calls. Before we get

133
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 2: to Sunday, they do multiple film session meetings that Foyer

134
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 2: is taking the guys through, you know, calls versus looks

135
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,039
Speaker 2: when they're watching tape and they start to anticipate.

136
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:08,159
Speaker 1: Excuse me, some of those.

137
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 2: Calls and what they can do within those roles and

138
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 2: within those calls, and then the energy that he plays

139
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 2: with on Sunday.

140
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: And you know, you have so many of the.

141
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 2: Clips that we show our guys of him, uh you know, laughing,

142
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 2: cackling on the field, just like hooting and hollering, having

143
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 2: a blast that's infectious. And the way that he continues

144
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 2: to lead our group. I mean, the guy carries around

145
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 2: tape in his pocket literally as a roll of tape

146
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 2: in his pocket at all times. He just carries it

147
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 2: around here and he'll start taping something up before we

148
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 2: go out to practice and he's ready to go. So

149
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 2: a bit of a throwback that way, in the way

150
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 2: that he prepares, the way that he plays on Sundays, It's.

151
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: Really fun to watch him play football.

152
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 3: Britain Strange said yesterday when he came back from him injury,

153
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 3: he was but he wasn't right. Yeah, where did you

154
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 3: see him really turn a corner to get back to

155
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 3: where he was?

156
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 2: I mean, I think obviously getting going against Arizona was nice, right,

157
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 2: like that first drive where he caught the the big

158
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 2: one that kind of got him in the game early,

159
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 2: and that previous week of practice I think that's maybe

160
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 2: what he was referring to, Like he definitely wasn't back yet,

161
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 2: Like he was back, but he wasn't feeling himself, and uh,

162
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 2: it took an extra week to get him really back

163
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 2: to feeling better. And there was some frustration on his

164
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 2: part during the course of that week of practice, and

165
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 2: I think he just needed to get out there and

166
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 2: get some of those cobwebs right, you know, kind of

167
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 2: brushed off, get a little bit of the anxiety out,

168
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 2: and just go play, because that's the type he is,

169
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 2: one hundred miles an hour every play. Like That's the

170
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 2: thing about Brenton is a lot of guys play this

171
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 2: game probably at about eighty five to ninety percent max velocity.

172
00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 2: I would think, you know, I don't know if you're

173
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 2: quite at one hundred every single play for the entire season,

174
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 2: like that would be probably really difficult to do. He's

175
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 2: at one hundred percent every single snap, every single play

176
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 2: for the entire season, So you know, I think for

177
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,679
Speaker 2: him there was frustration because he didn't feel like he

178
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 2: could do that. And to see though, how he's worked

179
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 2: through it, to see the way that he's continued to

180
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 2: impact and affect our offense and both the run in

181
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 2: the past, and he's got leadership qualities. He does like

182
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:33,079
Speaker 2: he's not the most vocal all the time, but he's tough,

183
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 2: and I think a lot of players respect tough.

184
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 1: They see it, they know it when they see it.

185
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 2: You don't have to say much to be tough, and

186
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 2: that's something that he's continued to bring to our offense.

187
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: Gregns guys and I m just since.

188
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:49,199
Speaker 2: He's Yeah, I mean Greg, he's got a lot of confidence.

189
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 2: He's got a lot of confidence. He's seen a lot

190
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 2: of football. He's smart, he's intentional with the way that

191
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 2: he practices, the way that he tries to do things.

192
00:09:57,720 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 2: You know, there's been a lot of guys playing in

193
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 2: the back end for us this year, and to see

194
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 2: that room specifically settle in, get a little bit of

195
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,679
Speaker 2: that rotation that we've had with obviously Greg and Buster

196
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 2: and Jarring and then when Jordan was still playing healthy

197
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 2: him as well, and have no ego about it, right,

198
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,559
Speaker 2: Like everybody kind of points to you, point to dbs

199
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 2: and widouts as being your I guess you'd call it divas,

200
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 2: right or that's not on our team, But I do

201
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,679
Speaker 2: feel like that's a general consensus, right that not this

202
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 2: group like this group just they've been extremely selfless with

203
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 2: the way that they've gone about their business and the

204
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 2: way that other guys have success. They're they're excited for

205
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 2: they appreciate each other. They've worked their asses off as

206
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 2: a group to continue to get better, and I think

207
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:44,839
Speaker 2: that's showing up on Sunday, and Greg's a big part

208
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 2: of that lot.

209
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 4: To change or to guard against not changing your aggressiveness

210
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:52,560
Speaker 4: in terms of you know, like fourth down stuff and

211
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 4: where when you know that you can't try and field

212
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 4: goal instead of a fourth down thing, is it easy

213
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 4: to kind of guard against that because points are such

214
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 4: a premium. Yeah.

215
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 2: So I mean, look, you're trying to win this game, right,

216
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 2: and so you can't think about the next one. You

217
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,559
Speaker 2: can't think about what if or what could happen if

218
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 2: we don't do I think it's just look, the flow

219
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 2: of the game always kind of dictates what you're going

220
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 2: to do from a decision making process. You have a philosophy,

221
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 2: you have something that you believe in, but the flow

222
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 2: of the game is going to have to determine how

223
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 2: aggressive we are in some of those moments. And is

224
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 2: it a high scoring game. Do we need every possession

225
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 2: we can get? Is it one of those games that, look,

226
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 2: we're stopping each other. Points are hard to come by.

227
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 2: This is what we may need to be more of

228
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 2: a kick mindset here. So, like, I don't have any

229
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 2: idea where we rank in terms of aggressiveness or anything

230
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 2: like that. And for fourth downs, I know we've tried

231
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 2: to be aggressive, but that's going to be a game

232
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 2: time decision with that. We talk about it in our

233
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 2: game management meeting tomorrow a little bit of like John

234
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 2: and Shane and I will talk through Okay, coin top.

235
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 2: We talked about the weather, right, we talk about the stadium,

236
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 2: the kicking their kicker versus our kicker, and then obviously

237
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 2: the fourth downs.

238
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 1: Right Like we talked about some of those.

239
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 2: We talk about two point conversion situations, overtime rules now

240
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 2: that we're in the playoffs, got communicated to our players

241
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:19,079
Speaker 2: and what our thought process will be regarding overtime and

242
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 2: whether we're going to kick or see you.

243
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 1: So we've had a lot of these.

244
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 2: Conversations and ultimately it comes down to trusting your gut

245
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 2: and trusting the field from in game and seeing what's happening.

246
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 2: Talk about guys, never known what their numbers called, keeping

247
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 2: them engaged. For a guy like Walker Little, who's had

248
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 2: i mean some rough matches over the course of the season,

249
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 2: you've needed in the past couple of weeks, might need

250
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:38,439
Speaker 2: him at a different.

251
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 3: Position this week.

252
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,839
Speaker 2: How important is that coaching part, that managing the people

253
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:43,959
Speaker 2: part to keep those guys engaged. Yeah, Look, we wouldn't

254
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,679
Speaker 2: be in the position we're at without Walker Little, right,

255
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:48,679
Speaker 2: like without a lot of these guys that have obviously

256
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 2: helped us.

257
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 1: Get to where we are.

258
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 2: And you know, he's been able to play multiple positions

259
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 2: for us, be flexible with kind of that rotation, be

260
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,599
Speaker 2: able to step in, play right guard, force play it

261
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 2: at a pre a good click for us for a

262
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,199
Speaker 2: few games, never haven't really played it before, and then

263
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 2: have to, you know, potentially slide back over the left

264
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:08,680
Speaker 2: at times like that's just the way it goes. And

265
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 2: you know, I think that that's something that you appreciate

266
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 2: an offensive lignment, like you appreciate the selflessness, You appreciate

267
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 2: the team first mentality typically of offensive lignment, because their

268
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 2: number one job is to protect right, to protect the back,

269
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 2: to protect the quarterback, and to protect this team and

270
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,679
Speaker 2: this organization So when you have a selfless group that

271
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 2: has a team first mentality like Walker does and like

272
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,559
Speaker 2: the rest of that group does, it typically helps you succeed.

273
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 2: How have you seen.

274
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,719
Speaker 3: The interior defensive lineman and Grace what I think they

275
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 3: know the assignment is this week and when the bread.

276
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:44,680
Speaker 1: And butter of the dls.

277
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, Look, I think those guys understand the task at hand.

278
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 2: We showed them a good enough clips in my team

279
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 2: meeting and the defensive meetings of their run game and

280
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 2: what that can do both when they as an offensive

281
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,319
Speaker 2: line and get going and the techniques and fundamentals in

282
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 2: which they try to use and things that we need

283
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 2: to do to combat that. And also when we've got

284
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,440
Speaker 2: our opportunities to tackle the ball carriers, whether it's the

285
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 2: backs or the quarterback, what that needs to look like

286
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 2: in the way that which we need to play to

287
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 2: get after.

288
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 1: Those guys to do those things. And so you know,

289
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 1: I think we're ready for the task at hand.

290
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 2: Whether we you know, make every single tackle on Sunday,

291
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 2: who knows, you know what I mean, Like, that's just

292
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 2: the game. So it's more about the relentless effort. The

293
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 2: relentless effort, the relentless strain, you know, wood blocks, you know.

294
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 2: Continue to play with that mindset of mentality upfront, and

295
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 2: good things will happen.
