1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:01,000 Speaker 1: All right you guys. 2 00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:07,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, hard to follow that you're voted to captain 3 00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:09,840 Speaker 2: fourth time in your career. 4 00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:12,959 Speaker 1: Just does it ever get an old team to you know, 5 00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:17,000 Speaker 1: have that respect and acknowledgement from your teammates. No, I 6 00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:19,840 Speaker 1: mean I think it's obviously being a captain is important. 7 00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:21,279 Speaker 1: You know. I take a lot of pride in that, 8 00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:23,919 Speaker 1: all of our guys do. I think it says a 9 00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:25,840 Speaker 1: lot about you know, how your teammates think of you. 10 00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:29,360 Speaker 1: So of course I'm very appreciative and don't take it lightly. 11 00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:31,960 Speaker 1: So every year that I get an opportunity to because 12 00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:34,239 Speaker 1: your team changes every year, so you know, you have 13 00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:38,400 Speaker 1: you build new relationships, You got to lead every day 14 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,240 Speaker 1: every season. You know, it changes a little bit the dynamics. 15 00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:44,199 Speaker 1: So for me, obviously it's a big honor, and I 16 00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:45,400 Speaker 1: know the other guys feel the same way. 17 00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:48,040 Speaker 2: For have a different place in time. But you know, 18 00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:51,400 Speaker 2: twenty twenty one beating the Dolphins, can you recall your 19 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:53,880 Speaker 2: feelings getting your first NFL victory? 20 00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:56,560 Speaker 1: That was awesome. I had to go overseas to do it, 21 00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:00,240 Speaker 1: but yeah, that was Obviously we started starting in finished 22 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,000 Speaker 1: prety rough that year, but we started out zero to five, 23 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,759 Speaker 1: so to get that win in London against this team. 24 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 1: Came down to the end. You know, Matt made that kick, 25 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:09,080 Speaker 1: remember all that. So that was a that was a 26 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:09,559 Speaker 1: fun game. 27 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 2: Dolphins and the new defense. 28 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 1: So how challenging is it what you. 29 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,240 Speaker 2: Look at I guess this week Dolphins. 30 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's challenging. You know when you're early games in 31 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,560 Speaker 1: the season are always a little tough, but especially when 32 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:25,040 Speaker 1: it's a new defensive coordinator. So you try to you know, 33 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,120 Speaker 1: piece it all together, some preseason stuff, some Baltimore stuff, 34 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:30,760 Speaker 1: all those things. You got to kind of try to, 35 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,039 Speaker 1: you know, take your educated guesses on you know what 36 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:35,560 Speaker 1: you're gonna see, and you got to prepare kind of 37 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:39,560 Speaker 1: for everything. And obviously it'll be a big game where 38 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 1: you adjust as you go and you kind of see 39 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 1: what they're doing. And obviously everyone has a game plan. 40 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:45,760 Speaker 1: So once we go in and we figure out what 41 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 1: theirs is, it's on us to make the adjustments and 42 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 1: you know, try to execute what we think is the 43 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 1: best plays versus whatever they're doing. So the process, like 44 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 1: in terms of you and Doug and Press kind of 45 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 1: doing that opening script of what's that process like and 46 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 1: how much infut do you get to have in a 47 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 1: you know, those especially, I mean Press puts a lot 48 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 1: of time into like all that stuff and all the 49 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 1: tape and the breakdowns and all that, and obviously I 50 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 1: do my own studies and stuff I like to do 51 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 1: every week, but he already has a pretty good idea 52 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,360 Speaker 1: typically of what he wants to do. Towards the end 53 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 1: of the week, he's putting it together and we're kind 54 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 1: of piecing everything, you know, Dug and Press, we're all 55 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,799 Speaker 1: talking about it, and myself usually i'll talk with them, 56 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 1: I'd say probably Thursday, Friday we start to kind of 57 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,360 Speaker 1: talk about the openers, and then by you know, Friday, Saturday, 58 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 1: we definitely have them in place. So there's a lot 59 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 1: of different things that we do. You know, it just 60 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 1: depends on the week. Obviously, it changes every week, but 61 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 1: you have a with every play, there's a purpose and 62 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,800 Speaker 1: you're you're you're trying to, you know, see how the 63 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,240 Speaker 1: game unfolds and how they respond and all those things. 64 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 1: It's kind of a it's definitely like a chess game, 65 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,240 Speaker 1: so there's a lot that goes into it that you know, 66 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 1: I don't do all the prep work on that, but 67 00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 1: obviously I feel or I have to say on if 68 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:01,360 Speaker 1: I'm not comfortable with something, or if I want to 69 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,359 Speaker 1: add something, or you know, he asked me if he's 70 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 1: decided between a few things. So, yeah, we talked about 71 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 1: all that. What do you think about. 72 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 2: Having Press on the sideline this year. 73 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 1: I think it'll be good, you know, I said early on. 74 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 1: Besides just being able to communicate faster, I don't really 75 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 1: know how much will change. I think it'll be good, 76 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 1: and you know, he'll be able to feel the game. 77 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:22,639 Speaker 1: It's just different being in the box. I'm sure I 78 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,079 Speaker 1: haven't been up there, but you're separated from the players 79 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 1: in the game on field, and it feels a little 80 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 1: bit different being out there, so it could bring a 81 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 1: new element. I think it'll be good to be able 82 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:32,640 Speaker 1: to run over there and talk to him face to 83 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 1: face instead of, you know, through a headset or through 84 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 1: a coach that has a headset on, because you know, 85 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 1: I'm not keeping my helmet onto and when I'm on 86 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 1: the sideline, so that communication I think will be even sharper. 87 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 1: But besides that, you know, I don't think it'll change 88 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 1: too much, but I think it'll be good for us. 89 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 1: If anything, that Brian and some of the other rookies 90 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 1: are playing a first wheel NFL game, maybe remembering how 91 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 1: you felt for your first one. Yeah, just to settle 92 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,119 Speaker 1: in and remember it's the same game you've played since 93 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 1: you were a kid. Obviously, it's you're playing against the 94 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 1: best of the best, and you're in the NFL now 95 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 1: and it's you know, all the bells and whistles, but 96 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 1: it's the same game. And you know, we play it 97 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 1: because we love it and it is a game, And 98 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 1: just to remember that, keep it into perspective. You're prepared. 99 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 1: We put all the work in. At that point on Sunday, 100 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 1: you know, you've put all the work in during practice, 101 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 1: throughout the week, preparing, watching tape. So at that point 102 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:23,279 Speaker 1: that's the fun part. You get to go play, and 103 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 1: not every play is going to be perfect, but you 104 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 1: just got to live for the next place. So that's 105 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,040 Speaker 1: something that is important to just remind yourself, and I'll 106 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,479 Speaker 1: definitely remind the guys before we go out there, is Hey, 107 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,479 Speaker 1: we got each other's back. Just go out there, play, 108 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,279 Speaker 1: you know what to do, Play free, don't think, and 109 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:37,920 Speaker 1: just let it rip. I think that's the biggest thing. 110 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:42,160 Speaker 2: He certainly has potential to be an offensive shootout and 111 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,720 Speaker 2: usually in games like that, sometimes your best defense is 112 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 2: your offense staying on the field, just warnering. How much 113 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 2: better you feel about this team being able to do 114 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:56,479 Speaker 2: that with where Travis and Tank are as a running game, 115 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,039 Speaker 2: and of course the offensive line as well. 116 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, obviously you're always I got we got 117 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 1: a lot of confidence in our defense, so you're you're 118 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:06,720 Speaker 1: always hoping it's not that, and I got a lot 119 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 1: of faith and belief in them. But you know, reality is, 120 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,159 Speaker 1: you play against a lot of good teams every week. 121 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,599 Speaker 1: You know you're playing against great players, so that's always 122 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 1: a possibility. But I got a lot of faith in 123 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 1: our defense and not concerned about it. But to your point, 124 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 1: you know, we there are times where we're gonna have 125 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 1: to pick up the load and carry the defense a 126 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 1: little bit, and vice versa. You know, they're gonna have 127 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 1: to to some games carry us and we're not get 128 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,679 Speaker 1: anything going. We're a little bit, you know, stalling out drives. 129 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:33,679 Speaker 1: They gotta come up with some big stops and vice versa. 130 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,159 Speaker 1: Another offense gets rolling a little bit. We gotta be 131 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:37,799 Speaker 1: able to answer. We gotta be able to hold the ball, 132 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,560 Speaker 1: have some long drives finished drives with touchdowns in the 133 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 1: red zone instead of field goals. You know, all those 134 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 1: things are important and it just depends on what the 135 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:46,719 Speaker 1: game is. That's why it's a team sport. You know, 136 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 1: you never know how it's gonna unfold each week, but 137 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 1: you got to be prepared to do whatever you need 138 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 1: to do to win. I think having Travis and Tank 139 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 1: both playing great ball in de earnest, I mean, we've 140 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 1: got three great backs that are that have played really 141 00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 1: well in camp, and you know, I really out into 142 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 1: the system and you know, I feel great about so 143 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,479 Speaker 1: having those guys the run game and obviously all the 144 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 1: weapons just everywhere we have upfront, passing game, all that 145 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 1: is going to help us too. So yeah, nerves are 146 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 1: excitement after the way last seed season ended, to get 147 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:20,279 Speaker 1: back out there, get gone excited. Yeah, really excited. You know. 148 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,040 Speaker 1: I'm sure I always get a little like game day nervous, 149 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:24,719 Speaker 1: stomachs tight, it's like harder to eat in the morning, 150 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 1: stuff like that. But once you kick it off, you know, 151 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,600 Speaker 1: you settle in really quick. So I wouldn't say there's 152 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 1: anything added to it except for just excitement. You know, 153 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 1: I think as you as you play longer it's going 154 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 1: to my fourth year. You get really excited when you 155 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:39,600 Speaker 1: get to actually game plan and prepare for an opponent 156 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 1: because you go through training camp, and obviously training camp 157 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 1: is very necessary and really important, but towards the end 158 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 1: of training camp, you're like, all right, let's just get 159 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 1: to week one and let's play somebody, and let's game 160 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 1: plan and do all that because you're running your same 161 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,040 Speaker 1: stuff throughout training camp for four weeks and you get 162 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 1: to the point where you're just like, all right, I 163 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 1: want to have a game plan and know what we're attacking. 164 00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 1: And you know that part of the game I think 165 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 1: is fun. And our coaching staff, I know, feels the 166 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,200 Speaker 1: same way. It's like, that's why you play, is to 167 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:06,479 Speaker 1: you know, plan for certain opponents and you get to 168 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,160 Speaker 1: go do it on Sundays. You know, that's what's that's 169 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 1: what's really fun. 170 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 2: Any added comfort knowing that Christian Kirk is gonna be 171 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 2: back out there. 172 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 1: For you definitely, definitely. Obviously he's an important part of 173 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 1: you know, our offense, our team. What he brings to 174 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 1: the table. I think we all saw how important he 175 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 1: was last year when we were missing him. Just the 176 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 1: things that he's able to do really in every every 177 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 1: aspect of the of the game. You know, he's he 178 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 1: contributes and he's a playmaker, so very dependable and it's 179 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 1: gonna be great to have him back out there. 180 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 2: How much more a couple are you? 181 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 1: Four years has happened in speaking to the team and 182 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 1: the kind of rallying the guys pre game like that. Yeah, 183 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 1: I've said this before. I think everyone's leadership is a 184 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 1: little bit different. You know. For me, I'm not the 185 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 1: big ra ras speech guy. It's just not that's just 186 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:53,600 Speaker 1: not my thing. And we have guys that do that 187 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 1: and are good at good at it and it comes natural. 188 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 1: I think for me, it's having those conversations with with 189 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 1: our group, whether it's the skill guys, the offense whatever, 190 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,280 Speaker 1: throughout the week, also on game day and just reinstilling 191 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 1: the confidence. And I like to on game day. I don't. 192 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 1: I don't like to change my personality because I think 193 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 1: it kind of gets you out of sorts a little bit. 194 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,120 Speaker 1: So I'm a little a little quiet, you know. I 195 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 1: want to make sure that my mind is at peace, 196 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 1: I'm settled in and I can do my job as 197 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 1: the best of my ability. And of course there's like 198 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 1: little things I'll talk to guys about, whether it's Christian 199 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 1: or Evan or you know, gaving BT obviously new this year, 200 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 1: but everyone's and you feel out everyone's game day process. 201 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 1: Some guys don't like to be talked to at all. 202 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,439 Speaker 1: Some guys you know, are loose and just hang out 203 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:34,319 Speaker 1: and you wouldn't wouldn't necessary know it's a game. They 204 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 1: just want to feel comfortable and loose going out there. 205 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,600 Speaker 1: So everyone's different. But you know, I think I definitely 206 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:41,839 Speaker 1: feel comfortable speaking up when needed. I feel like the 207 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 1: team needs to hear something, whether it's half time before 208 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 1: the game. There's definitely times where that happens. 209 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:53,040 Speaker 2: Most likely kind of uh. 210 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,319 Speaker 1: Cam does a great job. Foyer for sure, he's always 211 00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:58,400 Speaker 1: uh getting the defense up in the locker room. Foyd 212 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 1: does a good job. Trying to think who else would be? 213 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 1: Those are the probably the two main guys, one on 214 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 1: each side. Typically, like you see the dynamic, like you 215 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:08,959 Speaker 1: can't have more than that. Like one guy goes and 216 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:10,680 Speaker 1: then it's like the next guy's turn, he goes again, 217 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 1: so it's like it gets a little repetitive, and that's 218 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,720 Speaker 1: like you can't stand. Sometimes you have like twenty five 219 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:18,680 Speaker 1: breakdowns on game day, I'm like, all right, guys, we 220 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 1: get it, like we're playing and we've done a good job. 221 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 1: We've kind of limited it a little bit. But then 222 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 1: it's like, all right, now it's your turn to say something. 223 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:27,840 Speaker 1: You know. So our group does a good job of 224 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,560 Speaker 1: handling that, and we kind of know who's who feeds 225 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:32,080 Speaker 1: off that too, because there's guys that they like to 226 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 1: be in front of the team and they want that 227 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:34,640 Speaker 1: and it gives them some juice. So you know, like 228 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:36,840 Speaker 1: I said, Camafoya are really really good at that, and 229 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:38,319 Speaker 1: they bring they bring some juice for sure. 230 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,360 Speaker 2: Like what's it been like getting the dovation for as 231 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:45,560 Speaker 2: a player, and how are there things that you've learned 232 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:49,280 Speaker 2: from his experience and what's that communications process been? 233 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:54,679 Speaker 1: Like? Communications? Great, really smart player. Obviously he's played a 234 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,439 Speaker 1: lot of ball. You know. The thing is when you're 235 00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 1: playing with a veteran guy at that up front that's 236 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 1: seen a lot and he's ran every different run scheme 237 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:05,560 Speaker 1: and protection stuff. He's seen every look and he's very 238 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:07,920 Speaker 1: clear and decisive on what he likes, what he doesn't like, 239 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 1: his opinion on different things. You know, I think he 240 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 1: does a really good job of voicing that we've communicated, 241 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 1: and obviously this is our first opportunity to actually prepare, 242 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 1: prepare and plan for an opponent, so that'll be a 243 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 1: different element of all week. You're looking at different things 244 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,080 Speaker 1: and you know the defense and the looks you're gonna get. Obviously, 245 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:25,840 Speaker 1: I said this week, it's a little bit tough because 246 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 1: it is a new defensive coordinator. But it'll be interesting. 247 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 1: It'll be fun to work through all that with him 248 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 1: and just all the there's so much communication that goes 249 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 1: on throughout a game and the adjustment you have to 250 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 1: make in game too, so it'll be it'll be good 251 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 1: to see how this goes this first week. But I 252 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 1: got a lot of confidence and you know, we've communicated 253 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,320 Speaker 1: great so far, so I have no concerns. It's a 254 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,560 Speaker 1: long season, but just how important is this first step? 255 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:51,319 Speaker 1: Very important? I mean every week is I mean, every 256 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,640 Speaker 1: week is crucial. We just never know down the line. 257 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:56,839 Speaker 1: You know it's early, it's week one and you think 258 00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,960 Speaker 1: he got seventeen games, but at the end of the season, 259 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 1: you never want to be in a position think of 260 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,040 Speaker 1: last year for example, where you look back and yeah, 261 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,560 Speaker 1: of course we finished the season bad, but you also 262 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:08,599 Speaker 1: look back to the beginning and you're like, man, we 263 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,800 Speaker 1: let some games slip early that would have gave us 264 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,200 Speaker 1: even more room at the end of the season. So 265 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,440 Speaker 1: it's really important. You know. Obviously this is an AFC 266 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 1: team too, so that's important. But every game is crucial 267 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 1: and you put everything into it and you just try 268 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 1: to go one to know each week, and you got 269 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 1: to keep that tunnel vision for seventeen weeks straight. I mean, 270 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:27,199 Speaker 1: that's that's. 271 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 2: What it is. 272 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:29,560 Speaker 1: So we got to start with just one though this 273 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 1: week awesome. Thank you all. I appreciate it.
