1 00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:12,840 Speaker 1: It's up. I think yesterday was the first time in 2 00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:16,840 Speaker 1: thirty eight years chawboards offense. It had three hundred passing 3 00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:21,280 Speaker 1: and two hundred rushing. Then you just seat the difficulty 4 00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:23,279 Speaker 1: of doing that, and what do you say about where 5 00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:25,560 Speaker 1: this word is at the moment I just found out 6 00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:29,960 Speaker 1: about that, realized the ramifications, I guess, um, Yeah, our 7 00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:32,519 Speaker 1: guys did a really excellent job really balance attack, having 8 00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:35,839 Speaker 1: the ability to throw and pass at the same time. Obviously, 9 00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:38,040 Speaker 1: starts up front handled it really well. Up front was 10 00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:41,560 Speaker 1: able to get the run game going, and obviously the 11 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:44,040 Speaker 1: explosive passes came off that as the game went on, 12 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:45,640 Speaker 1: and I felt like our guys were in a really 13 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:47,839 Speaker 1: good place. The tempo was maybe most aggressive at the 14 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:51,000 Speaker 1: very start of the game for you guys waiting too 15 00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 1: that for approaches to begin the game. Early in the game, 16 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:56,320 Speaker 1: just felt like we had a good opportunity just to 17 00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:58,600 Speaker 1: mix the tempo and as the game goes, you know, 18 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,080 Speaker 1: there's times where maybe we'll crank back into the tempo 19 00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:02,400 Speaker 1: at times will slow it back down, and we just 20 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,760 Speaker 1: kind of play that game. Ultimately, probably used it more 21 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,000 Speaker 1: in the first half, and that particularly that first quarter, 22 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:09,280 Speaker 1: we had a lot of plays in the first quarter, 23 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,480 Speaker 1: and then uh, you know those those games go on. 24 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 1: You gotta kind of have the flow of the game. 25 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,760 Speaker 1: Is defense out there a lot? And when do we 26 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,600 Speaker 1: want to reapply the tempo and so you're always kind 27 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 1: of playing that balancing act. I think and understand the 28 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,680 Speaker 1: pulse of the game. What was it thinking consider be 29 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:26,679 Speaker 1: that first quarter from much? Why would pushed the harder? 30 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:29,400 Speaker 1: We just we just felt like we had a really 31 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,200 Speaker 1: good oportunity. We felt very comfortable with the plays that 32 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,880 Speaker 1: we're gonna run with some tempo and wanted to get 33 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 1: after it. About on the yardage thing, I think it 34 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 1: was pretty straight. You should have two hundred and one 35 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 1: rush that number exactly yesterday. I mean, what is it 36 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 1: about this running game that's made it so if I've 37 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 1: got through this run? I think the running game really 38 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,320 Speaker 1: starts with the players, you know, the offense line. They're 39 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 1: coming off the ball, they're being really aggressive, They're they're 40 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 1: playing and very confident, and our runners are really doing 41 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,840 Speaker 1: a phenomenal job having patience when they need patients to 42 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 1: kind of set up blocks, and then at the other 43 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 1: in another sense, when it is time to hit it, 44 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,839 Speaker 1: they hit it, and we always talk about it takes 45 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:10,799 Speaker 1: all eleven. The receivers are part of this thing, the 46 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 1: tight ends, the quarterback booting, everyone's putting their piece into it. 47 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,520 Speaker 1: Good with Zake since he got here, is he learning 48 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,919 Speaker 1: more does accounting? And you've ever seen him more when 49 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 1: he first got here. It'd be tough answer. I don't know. 50 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,519 Speaker 1: I have to study that pretty thoroughly, but uh, I 51 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 1: think he's in a really really good place right now. 52 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 1: I could I could say right now he is awesome, 53 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,079 Speaker 1: He's playing great football, and then we're fired up. I 54 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,080 Speaker 1: want to suggest anything about it is easy. But when 55 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 1: the run game is clicking like that at hump, I mean, 56 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 1: doesn't make your jobs to play caller easier. Running football's 57 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 1: important aspects of this game. You don't always have to 58 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 1: do it all the time. There's times where hey, you 59 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 1: don't have to establish the run any of those things. 60 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 1: But when you do have the ability to run it 61 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,360 Speaker 1: and you're getting you know, at one point, I think 62 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,800 Speaker 1: we're avaging about seven yards to carry, it makes football 63 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 1: hole lot easier and it certainly allows you to play 64 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:04,519 Speaker 1: off of that. You know, when you can run the 65 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 1: football and then do all the things that you can 66 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 1: run off of that, I think we're in a really 67 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 1: good place with it. The game we're going to kinder 68 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 1: grab dack slaves and Dak manages to throw the ball 69 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 1: out of backs on the last what we're kind of 70 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 1: let us it's an air game. Awareness does it take 71 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 1: to avoid the stack there? And how how do you 72 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 1: flos that you don't coach it? Uh? Second, I think 73 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 1: it takes tremendous strength to be a stand in the 74 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,399 Speaker 1: pocket like that. Obviously for him to be all stay 75 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,519 Speaker 1: up first of all, but also to be willing to 76 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 1: stay in there and find a way to throw the 77 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 1: ball away. That's Those are huge plays when you're able 78 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 1: to throw away sometimes those are the biggest positive plays 79 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 1: that the quarterback can have in a game. And most 80 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 1: people think of them just silly, irrelevant plays. But avoiding 81 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 1: a sack, throwing it away sometimes those are plus plays 82 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 1: and the quarterbacks great and those are one of them. 83 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 1: The typical second hologe. You have to really be in 84 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 1: send with Dak to say let's put it up here? 85 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:56,839 Speaker 1: Will when to slow down? Yeah, I think we're trying 86 00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 1: to always find our places when when to play it. 87 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 1: You know, you gotta have a sense of where our 88 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 1: team's at and also where the other teams at. And 89 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 1: you know there's gonna be certain players in the game 90 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 1: plan that we feel like we want to use the 91 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 1: tempo to utilize these plays. And there's other times where 92 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 1: based off the game plan based on a defense, look, 93 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,839 Speaker 1: maybe it's not presenting itself as favorably, and we want 94 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 1: to be that versatile that we can play in and 95 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,920 Speaker 1: out of it throughout the game. Bill bilitiated defense has 96 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 1: earned a reputation of making an offense to play left 97 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 1: dandy to take to take away when they do that, 98 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:32,719 Speaker 1: I'm lefty. I'm okay. I was hating on the lefties. Okay, 99 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,279 Speaker 1: But at first of all, as you guys have proven 100 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 1: to be over the first five games, you feel as 101 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 1: well as you could be with that challenge. This can 102 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 1: be a tremendous challenge. They'll do a tremendous job preparing 103 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,360 Speaker 1: for us. They'll make it difficult on us. We got 104 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 1: a big week ahead of us to prepare for this game, 105 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 1: and this will be a big challenge going on the 106 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,040 Speaker 1: road to play a team like this, really well coached, 107 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 1: really good players. They know their system very well. They 108 00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 1: know how to make adjustments within within the game, and 109 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,719 Speaker 1: so from our standpoint, we're gonna be all We're gonna 110 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,719 Speaker 1: need to prepare really well, but also understand the adjustment 111 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 1: football may apply to this game, and we're to be ready. 112 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 1: Is this some of the hardest games to prepare for me, 113 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 1: because you hear people say what they show one week 114 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 1: they're not going to do the next week, and thinks 115 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,040 Speaker 1: they just seem to have a roll the next things 116 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,480 Speaker 1: they can throw out week to week. Yes, certainly they can. 117 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 1: They can do a lot of football. They are very 118 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 1: well coached, they're very sound, and what they do they 119 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,360 Speaker 1: do a great job of game planning against offenses and 120 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:32,160 Speaker 1: taking away strengths. And so as we go through this 121 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:33,840 Speaker 1: process through this week, I think we're want to do 122 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 1: a really good job of honing in our game plan, 123 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 1: feeling very confident, and also understand that adjustments may need 124 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,160 Speaker 1: to be applied throughout the game, and guys gotta be 125 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 1: ready to adjust. You get caught up and who you're 126 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 1: going against. As you've been a player, and I mean now, 127 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:53,279 Speaker 1: do you look forward to certain matchups like that against 128 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,799 Speaker 1: pete coaches who have proven their ability. Are you strictly 129 00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,600 Speaker 1: just looking at the system and you take personality out 130 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 1: of a week. Well, I think you got to know 131 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:06,919 Speaker 1: the defensive approach from a coach's standpoint, understand their their history, 132 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 1: what what they like to do. Um, you know, we 133 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 1: got everyone's got five games in so far. There's a 134 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 1: lot of games in previous years that may apply to 135 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 1: this and so you're always trying to find those different 136 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 1: wrinkles and different things that you may be able to 137 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 1: look for that may apply to this game. But these 138 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,039 Speaker 1: guys obviously do it. Uh. You know, over the course 139 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 1: of the you know, this long history of the Patriots, 140 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,160 Speaker 1: they've done better than anyone else. You talked a little 141 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 1: bit of challenge with promparing for that. What do you 142 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:34,160 Speaker 1: respect us about Belichick's pushing for what parts of his approaching? 143 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 1: I guess setstas to you. They put their players in 144 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 1: the best position to be successful. I think as a 145 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 1: coach you're always trying to hopefully put your guys in 146 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,159 Speaker 1: the best situation. And they do that bare in name one, 147 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,280 Speaker 1: they recognize what their strengths are, what their weaknesses are, 148 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 1: maybe if there are any, and they plan accordingly, and 149 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,160 Speaker 1: they put theirselves in a really good situation to have success. 150 00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,720 Speaker 1: On Sundays, and week in a week out. It can 151 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 1: be a different flavor, it can be a differ scheme maybe, 152 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 1: but they always are prepared and they always do a really, 153 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,720 Speaker 1: really good job. It's a chong a few tests you 154 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 1: look forward to matching which fellow chair scheme would be fun. 155 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,680 Speaker 1: It'll be another one. Just like a number of these 156 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 1: games we've had with different defense coordinators. Uh, it's always 157 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 1: a challenge each and every week to hopefully put ourselves 158 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 1: together with a with a really good game plan and 159 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 1: understand that justice may need to apply to different games, 160 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 1: different situations. But you know, I think we're really excited 161 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 1: about this one. I think more because of the fellow 162 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 1: chick I know, supporting Wait, yeah, I mean, obviously he's 163 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 1: best coach in NFL history. Obviously we understand that aspect 164 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 1: of it. He's been a defensive guy for a very 165 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 1: long time, and a ton of respect for him, and uh, 166 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 1: certainly someone that as a younger coach, you're always learning 167 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 1: from these types of coaches who've done it for a 168 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 1: long time, have had ton of success, and you know 169 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 1: you learned through this process. As to that deck at 170 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 1: to zeke over on the right, how long have you 171 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 1: guys put that play in and did you expect it 172 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 1: to kind of work that well? Does? It seemed like 173 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 1: there's touch Johns that are that wide open the NFL, 174 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 1: the primary target was a CD and they end up 175 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 1: covering CD. And that was kind of the second guy 176 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 1: in the in the process, and we always said keep 177 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 1: Zeke alive because when you fake, when you fake it 178 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 1: to the rain back, sometimes they kind of forget about him. 179 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 1: And so h it happened. He ended up popping and 180 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 1: it was an awesome touch him. The relationship that you 181 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 1: have with that now, how much of that was built 182 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 1: through your time with him as a fellow player versus 183 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,679 Speaker 1: your time as one of his coaches. Yeah, obviously a 184 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:38,319 Speaker 1: unique circumstance to be with the guy, uh, you know, 185 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:40,360 Speaker 1: as a player together in the same room and then 186 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:45,200 Speaker 1: obviously transitioning to the coaching aspect. I think in many ways, uh, 187 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,040 Speaker 1: you know, especially early on, you can relate in many 188 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 1: ways because a lot of things were asking a quarterback 189 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 1: to do. Uh. I was fortunate to be in that 190 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 1: situation and in the same room being asked to do 191 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:58,560 Speaker 1: it from from Scott or Wade or Jason at the time. 192 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 1: And so you know, hopefully I can relate in that way. 193 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:04,439 Speaker 1: And obviously we we built a relationship as UH co 194 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:08,840 Speaker 1: players initially and it's obviously developed in the coach player relationship. 195 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 1: And have a ton of trust in him, a ton 196 00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 1: of trust, a ton of faith. I think we have 197 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,600 Speaker 1: seen the game in many ways over the course these 198 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,199 Speaker 1: number of years together, so we've been able to talk 199 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:21,439 Speaker 1: through a lot of things. Been in a lot of 200 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 1: quarterback rooms. The unique thing I think about a quarterback 201 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,679 Speaker 1: room is sometimes those imprompt conversations that come up you're 202 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 1: watching a game of opponent, some situation comes up, a 203 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 1: play comes up, and those kind of off schedule conversations. 204 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,480 Speaker 1: Sometimes those things end up applying in a real game. 205 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 1: You say, holy cow, we're talking about that and loan behold, 206 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:41,079 Speaker 1: it shows up. It may show up in a couple 207 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,560 Speaker 1: of weeks. But we're always talking those situations, talking football. 208 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,240 Speaker 1: And I think that's what's awesome about what we have 209 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:53,319 Speaker 1: in our quarterback room here right now. Car wasn't like 210 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:55,720 Speaker 1: for him to the game, and you have a lot 211 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:57,559 Speaker 1: of our still players at hard different is he just 212 00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:01,319 Speaker 1: generally the guys says, really smart player. I think we've 213 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 1: said it a number of times. He knows the whole offense. 214 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 1: You know, he's got a unique experience to being a 215 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:09,439 Speaker 1: quarterback in high school, developing the wide receiver traits being 216 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 1: a returner, so he's very comfortable with the ball out 217 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:13,920 Speaker 1: in space and running with it, and so he does 218 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:15,559 Speaker 1: a lot of really good things for us, and he's 219 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 1: one of those guys that he can apply to a 220 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,640 Speaker 1: lot of different things and we continue to try and 221 00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:21,680 Speaker 1: utize them as much as we can. Get a minus 222 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 1: for the past that you said, the vaccine em yeah, 223 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 1: he made up for with the catch, but yeah, we're 224 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 1: hoping for the touchdown there. So he was helping out 225 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 1: his boy. Noah, I guess. So you've talked to us 226 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,680 Speaker 1: a few times over the years about all the different 227 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 1: places you draw inspiration from seeing plays you like. You 228 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 1: elaborate a little bit on that process and how much 229 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 1: time on the task between when you see something you 230 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,680 Speaker 1: like and when you're ready to call it in the game. Yeah, 231 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:53,920 Speaker 1: the time on task kind varies. We're always trying to 232 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:57,679 Speaker 1: collect as much information as we can. At times it's 233 00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:00,040 Speaker 1: not going to apply maybe for that particular week, but 234 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,839 Speaker 1: looking at college, looking at NFL, trying to find different 235 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:06,960 Speaker 1: resources that we feel like can't apply, and a lot 236 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:08,319 Speaker 1: of times you're looking at it. There's a lot of 237 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 1: stuff in football. All of us have access to it 238 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 1: so much easier probably now than ever, and so I 239 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,079 Speaker 1: think there's a balancing act. There's really cool stuff that 240 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 1: you kind of say, hey, that's a that's a really 241 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 1: awesome play. I'd love to run that. But you know, 242 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 1: we got two practice days. We only got so many 243 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 1: times to rep it, and so you got pick and 244 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 1: choose your battles a little bit there. But we enjoy it. 245 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,079 Speaker 1: I think our offensive staff we really embrace it, the 246 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 1: idea that you know, let's be creative, let's be open minded. 247 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:35,720 Speaker 1: Kyle Valero, Chase Hasley. We kind of have a little 248 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 1: fun thing on Monday Mondays where we kind of take 249 00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:39,920 Speaker 1: a trip around the league see all the trends that 250 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,599 Speaker 1: are going on, sometimes dabble in the college world. And 251 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 1: so we're always looking for different inspirations and throw them 252 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,600 Speaker 1: and throw them and folders, throw them and cut up folders. 253 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 1: And it may apply six weeks down the road, it 254 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:53,840 Speaker 1: may not apply this year, it may apply next year. 255 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 1: Who really knows. But we're always trying to gather information 256 00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 1: to give it too much away. But like just from 257 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,760 Speaker 1: a laban's perspective, like, is it realisting that you know, 258 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 1: you see something awesome and on Monday night football to 259 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 1: night and it's in the game plan this week? I mean, 260 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,560 Speaker 1: is that even? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, you know we got 261 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:15,679 Speaker 1: Wednesday's practice, Thursday's practice, Friday's a walk through, Saturday's one 262 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,840 Speaker 1: more practice you'd like to get, you know, at least 263 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 1: one full speed rep? Is something? If it's if it 264 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:22,440 Speaker 1: and then I think there's always a balance act. Does 265 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,920 Speaker 1: it feel similar to something and you can apply it 266 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,319 Speaker 1: to a very similar concept that we've been doing. Is 267 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:29,679 Speaker 1: it a very new broad subject that we need to 268 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:31,960 Speaker 1: maybe take some time and get two or three reps 269 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 1: at it? But I think our guys really embrace it, 270 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 1: which is the fun part. Sometimes players come up with 271 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:41,240 Speaker 1: the ideas and we want that atmosphere. You guys just 272 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 1: kind of looks every single game. It does something that 273 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:48,679 Speaker 1: you actively do each game throughout the season. Or if so, 274 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 1: how many new looks can you apply into one game 275 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 1: that you kn't sit for that from our perspective, we're 276 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:59,720 Speaker 1: given different looks. Yeah, I think we're continue to try 277 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:03,520 Speaker 1: and use as many personnel to create different formations again 278 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:07,679 Speaker 1: sound plays that we feel very comfortable with. Obviously we 279 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 1: understand it. On the other side of it, the defense 280 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:13,480 Speaker 1: has to process those different personnel process those different plays 281 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:17,280 Speaker 1: or formations, and you know, we understand that there's a 282 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:20,079 Speaker 1: limited resource throughout the week is as far as practice 283 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 1: and walkthroughs and those different things, and so sometimes those 284 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:26,960 Speaker 1: things may seem very simple to us and hopefully they 285 00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 1: apply a little bit more complex to the defense. And 286 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,599 Speaker 1: so I think there's some value in that, you know, 287 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:34,840 Speaker 1: balancing that out. You don't want to turn into someone 288 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:36,440 Speaker 1: that you're not. You don't want to spend all week 289 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,160 Speaker 1: trying to be the trick of team. You gotta have 290 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,719 Speaker 1: a foundation to you. But at the same time, when 291 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,320 Speaker 1: you have those opportunities to sprinkle some things in there, 292 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:47,600 Speaker 1: they're simple plays in our mind, maybe few flavors each 293 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:49,920 Speaker 1: and every week, and defense steps to spend time on them. 294 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:54,840 Speaker 1: Your work week, would you say, is devoted to collecting, 295 00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:59,080 Speaker 1: getting ideas, knowing you may not use them that week, 296 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:00,679 Speaker 1: but no one you'll use them at some point or 297 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,439 Speaker 1: maybe it'll spark something else. Is there a percent that 298 00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:04,959 Speaker 1: you can put on and about how much of it 299 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,679 Speaker 1: is in your work for you? I would say not 300 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 1: a whole lot. Mondays is kind of our day to 301 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:13,600 Speaker 1: you know, it's early in the week. We just got 302 00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 1: done with our game with the Giants, we review that game, 303 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 1: watch it, we quickly turn our attention to New England. 304 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,240 Speaker 1: And at the same time, I think it's important to 305 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 1: always see the pulseless league. This league is very much 306 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 1: a copycat league. If you see something both on offense 307 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:29,160 Speaker 1: and defense, I think in many ways. And so if 308 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 1: something's happening across the league, maybe it's not in your 309 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 1: opponents that you've had the last few weeks, but something maybe, 310 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:37,280 Speaker 1: for example, going on in the AFC that you know 311 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:38,920 Speaker 1: some teams are kind of catching onto a trend. And 312 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 1: I think we're always trying to be conscious of making 313 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,440 Speaker 1: sure we're aware of what's going on. And again, those 314 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 1: things may apply this week, they may apply a later week. 315 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 1: But you want to see where the league's at and 316 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:51,840 Speaker 1: then quickly be able to turn your patient in New England. 317 00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:53,680 Speaker 1: When Mike came here, RS, he gave up the play 318 00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:56,760 Speaker 1: call and let you allowed you to continue to do 319 00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 1: that when he has a success that he's had in 320 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:01,520 Speaker 1: that Foughton's career, to give it to you is that 321 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 1: adding pressure to you. And then the second year of 322 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,240 Speaker 1: you guys together, is the more freedom that he allows you. 323 00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:08,760 Speaker 1: Does he bounced more things off for you? Does he 324 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:10,560 Speaker 1: kind of let you go on? What's that? No? I 325 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:15,240 Speaker 1: would say I feel very fortunate being the situation situation 326 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:18,880 Speaker 1: I am in. Obviously, Mike's had a ton of success 327 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:20,680 Speaker 1: in this league as a head coach and a play caller. 328 00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 1: He's an awesome resource for me as I go through 329 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 1: each and every week to just to talk through conversations, Hey, 330 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 1: what do you think about this situation? What do you 331 00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 1: think if we you know, maybe did X, Y and 332 00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,760 Speaker 1: Z and we're able to bounce those ideas off together. 333 00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,880 Speaker 1: And you know, I thinks as this has came into 334 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:39,560 Speaker 1: our second year together, I think we're we're so well 335 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:41,680 Speaker 1: aligned as far as you know, our approach and the 336 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:44,360 Speaker 1: system and the routine that we take each and every week, 337 00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:46,360 Speaker 1: that we're in a really, really good place. And that 338 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:48,760 Speaker 1: applies to the whole offensive staff. I think, you know, 339 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,400 Speaker 1: anytime you're able to have the same staff for a 340 00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 1: second year together, again, this is the first time I've 341 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 1: ever been a part of a staff where it's the 342 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,960 Speaker 1: same staff, and so this offseason was awesome because we 343 00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:02,480 Speaker 1: could really start right where we left off and take 344 00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:04,400 Speaker 1: off from there. And so it's been an awesome process, 345 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 1: which nice light in the quarterback room and does your 346 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:11,080 Speaker 1: greatest relationship. Yeah, it's been awesome. Obviously, he was a 347 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,560 Speaker 1: part of here for a couple of years before before 348 00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,080 Speaker 1: Mike came here, and so, uh I feel fortunate to 349 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 1: have have a guy like him in the quarterback room. 350 00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 1: And he does a tremendous job. He does a lot 351 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:26,360 Speaker 1: of work behind behind the behind the doors, so to speak, 352 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,480 Speaker 1: with the quarterbacks, just taking taking their prep each and 353 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:32,040 Speaker 1: every day, just because sometimes you know, I maybe doing 354 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 1: something here and there, and uh Nus does an awesome job. 355 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:38,600 Speaker 1: Takes those guys through fundamentals, um takes you know, takes 356 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,360 Speaker 1: care of those quarterbacks. At the same time, huge resource 357 00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:43,120 Speaker 1: for me as a game plan and we go through 358 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:46,960 Speaker 1: this process as an offensive staff being all the you know, 359 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,240 Speaker 1: pull nuggets from different places and he does a really 360 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 1: good job. When he got off a good start and 361 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,440 Speaker 1: Len didn't really know what to make of your team, 362 00:16:57,840 --> 00:16:59,800 Speaker 1: and everybody said, well, why do they go to Green Bay. 363 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 1: It'll play Pittsburg and the similarities between these teams, it's 364 00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:09,040 Speaker 1: a great question, and yeah, that's a great process to 365 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:11,920 Speaker 1: think about sixteen. Uh. You know, I think we played 366 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:14,960 Speaker 1: well early and there are certain games that obviously have 367 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 1: a great opportunity to go play a really quality team 368 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:19,880 Speaker 1: on the road. Road games are big to have those 369 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,320 Speaker 1: opportunities against a world coach team like this. You're playing, 370 00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:24,680 Speaker 1: there's gonna be maybe some weather elements who knows that 371 00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 1: you're going up to the Northeast, And uh, I think 372 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:29,919 Speaker 1: these are awesome, awesome opportunities for us just to take 373 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,440 Speaker 1: the next step. And uh, we took care of home 374 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:34,520 Speaker 1: the home three game stand. That was big for us, 375 00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:36,080 Speaker 1: and now we get an opportunity to go on the road, 376 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:40,880 Speaker 1: and uh, it'll be big. Responding to the mental conditioning 377 00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 1: portion on Friday, and if you ever having anything like 378 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,680 Speaker 1: that when you were player as a team mentised to 379 00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 1: I would say, what what we have going on Fridays 380 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:56,639 Speaker 1: with Chad Bowling is phenomenal. Uh, I'm I'm all kind 381 00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:58,399 Speaker 1: of praise chat a little Bit's probably gonna hate me 382 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,239 Speaker 1: for saying this, but I think obviously Chad's the best 383 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:04,000 Speaker 1: in the business. Anyone who knows him. He's part of 384 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,480 Speaker 1: the Yankees and part of our our group. He is 385 00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 1: He is the best, and I've continued to try and 386 00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:14,920 Speaker 1: emphasize guys building relationships with him just because, uh something 387 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,879 Speaker 1: I kind of you know, you're You're around the mental 388 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,440 Speaker 1: aspect of this game and around sports for for a 389 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:22,760 Speaker 1: long time. But it was really when I got hurt 390 00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:26,480 Speaker 1: in sixteen where I finally kind of realized the importance 391 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:28,920 Speaker 1: of this aspect of thing. Going through a challenging situation 392 00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:30,480 Speaker 1: like that where you're hurt and not able to play. 393 00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:33,639 Speaker 1: Chad was an awesome resource for me, and he's been 394 00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 1: an awesome resource all the way through this whole process 395 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 1: to today. And he's awesome for our staff, for our players, 396 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:43,320 Speaker 1: does a tremendous job of keeping those guys focused being 397 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 1: personal connections for them, but also for our entire team, 398 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:49,719 Speaker 1: just to keep the message consistent, uh, you know, speaking 399 00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,159 Speaker 1: of being neutral. You know you've probably heard that term 400 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 1: a lot this this past year with the players. Uh, 401 00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:58,000 Speaker 1: that's a big focus and big credit to Chad. Messages 402 00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 1: are about his ability to listen. I think both uh, 403 00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:06,879 Speaker 1: you know, consistent message and ability and an ability to 404 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,480 Speaker 1: listen to the players and be able to understand that 405 00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 1: each guy's a little bit different I think that's one 406 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:12,679 Speaker 1: of those things is you know, I think I've been 407 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:16,240 Speaker 1: fortunate to be around some some great coaches here with Jason, 408 00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:19,480 Speaker 1: Mike and so many others understand each players a little 409 00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:21,680 Speaker 1: bit different. You gotta understand their triggers, how are they wired, 410 00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:26,119 Speaker 1: How how do they handle success or failure, mistakes or successes, 411 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:29,280 Speaker 1: and uh so I think, you know, Chad's one of 412 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:31,600 Speaker 1: those awesome resources I've been able to, you know, lean 413 00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:34,240 Speaker 1: on and ask for help, and you know, how have 414 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,679 Speaker 1: you applied this situation? How have you had handled this, uh, 415 00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:39,800 Speaker 1: this thing that may came up come up in a 416 00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:47,720 Speaker 1: game and in a practice, and he's been awesome. That'd 417 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 1: be a great question. Uh, I would really want to 418 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 1: uh analyze that. I think, uh, you know, he did 419 00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,400 Speaker 1: a tremendous job understand this injury thing as a part 420 00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:59,439 Speaker 1: of the process. A lot of people, you know, they 421 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:02,280 Speaker 1: say they NFL injuries rate is one hundred percent. If 422 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:04,159 Speaker 1: you play in the NFL, everyone's gonna get hurt at 423 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:07,240 Speaker 1: some point, and you did a great job of understanding. 424 00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:10,160 Speaker 1: I think Dak handled it in a similar way where 425 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:12,800 Speaker 1: there's not a timeline to injury recoveries, and I think 426 00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:16,159 Speaker 1: everyone always wants to put a timeline to something. It's 427 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,960 Speaker 1: two weeks, it's four weeks. Sold injuries are different for everyone. 428 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:22,879 Speaker 1: Everybody's different, and so not putting a timeline and most 429 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,199 Speaker 1: importantly on yourself. I understand that the process is going 430 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:26,879 Speaker 1: to take care of yourself. You do everything you can, 431 00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:28,880 Speaker 1: but at the end of the day, when you're ready, 432 00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,720 Speaker 1: you're ready. And sometimes we can all try and say, 433 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:33,720 Speaker 1: you know, I'm a market spot and this is gonna 434 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:37,600 Speaker 1: be I'm getting back for this point. Go through the process, 435 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:41,560 Speaker 1: Trust the trainers, trust the recovery process. Chad has been 436 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 1: awesome for guys who've gone through that process and will 437 00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:46,440 Speaker 1: continue to be a reverses that, at least across the 438 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:51,679 Speaker 1: different levels of the sports have eating mental conditioning reverse 439 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:53,560 Speaker 1: is based on time you've seen it work here. I 440 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:57,720 Speaker 1: completely agree everyone understands the weighter aspect and that's a 441 00:20:57,800 --> 00:20:59,920 Speaker 1: huge aspect of this thing. Everyone's kind of at that level. 442 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,960 Speaker 1: I think the mental aspect of this game is becoming 443 00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:05,880 Speaker 1: more and more important. I think some people are recognizing 444 00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,640 Speaker 1: how important it is. Uh These players go through a lot. 445 00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:11,480 Speaker 1: There's a lot of pressure on them, whether they want 446 00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:15,280 Speaker 1: it or not, to handle success, handle failure, handle disappointment, 447 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 1: handle the times that go well outside and and internally, 448 00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,840 Speaker 1: and so everyone needs this stuff. Everyone needs to understand 449 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:26,959 Speaker 1: that this is a very very important aspect of this thing, 450 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:29,159 Speaker 1: and I think guys are really embracing it. Guys are 451 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,520 Speaker 1: understanding how important it is willing to be vulnerable in 452 00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,359 Speaker 1: those type of circumstances, which I think is huge. And 453 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:37,840 Speaker 1: so I think we're very fortunate to have Chad and 454 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:42,920 Speaker 1: different people within this program to help question is there 455 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:47,640 Speaker 1: a too briary development pointing way, you know, going through 456 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:49,879 Speaker 1: this sort of training or you to acquire some measure 457 00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:53,800 Speaker 1: and vulnerability and so further group to do that collectively 458 00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:58,040 Speaker 1: to in turn bring people close together build I definitely 459 00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:01,000 Speaker 1: think so going through this process, guys willing to understand 460 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:04,280 Speaker 1: that it's okay to talk about challenges in this uh, 461 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:06,760 Speaker 1: in this profession. Everyone's going to go through them, but 462 00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:11,240 Speaker 1: also also talking through handling success to everything's not doesn't 463 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:14,080 Speaker 1: have to be a deal with failure. You also have 464 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,560 Speaker 1: to deal with success too, and our guys understand that 465 00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:18,760 Speaker 1: you've got to reset the deal each week. Be neutral. 466 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,560 Speaker 1: We've continued to emphasize, as you guys have probably heard 467 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:26,480 Speaker 1: through so many players. The unselfish play, especially on offense. 468 00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:28,880 Speaker 1: We've continue to that that's our calling card. The guys 469 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,639 Speaker 1: understand that everyone's gonna get opportunities. Is gonna take all 470 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,480 Speaker 1: eleven to help each other out. Uh, you know CD 471 00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:36,960 Speaker 1: doesn't have a ton of touches. The last two games 472 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:38,680 Speaker 1: he gets a cut handful of Today makes it or 473 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,000 Speaker 1: this past game makes a huge difference. And you know, 474 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 1: Zeke's gonna go through that process. Tampa doesn't get a 475 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,480 Speaker 1: ton of carries, understands, and eventually he's gonna get his opportunities. 476 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:47,560 Speaker 1: But you're gonna go block and do a tremendous job 477 00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:49,960 Speaker 1: in the protection game. In this game, and and we're 478 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,000 Speaker 1: will ask need the receivers to make more plays. And 479 00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:54,080 Speaker 1: so the guys understand the flow of this thing that 480 00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:57,479 Speaker 1: you know, unselfish play. Keep chipping away at this thing. 481 00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:01,000 Speaker 1: Your opportunities are gonna come. And while your opportunities aren't there, 482 00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:04,920 Speaker 1: go help someone else out and let them make place. Okay, 483 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:05,920 Speaker 1: Thanks
