He started out the 37 00:01:56,839 --> 00:01:59,679 Speaker 6: linebackers coach, then went to the defensive line, then came 38 00:01:59,719 --> 00:02:03,359 Speaker 6: back to linebackers, so and then now's he learned a 39 00:02:03,359 --> 00:02:06,079 Speaker 6: lot about the dbs and whatnot.

Uh. Really, we don't really care 69 00:03:32,439 --> 00:03:35,319 Speaker 6: what they're doing over there. Our main job is to 70 00:03:35,519 --> 00:03:37,759 Speaker 6: dominate the guys in front of us and get the win. 71 00:03:43,039 --> 00:03:48,039 Speaker 9: Culturally, you've been part of culture prior to this first 72 00:03:48,079 --> 00:03:51,079 Speaker 9: year head coach drove coming in, How would you describe 73 00:03:51,439 --> 00:03:54,519 Speaker 9: the culture this year in terms of what you. 74 00:03:54,599 --> 00:03:59,439 Speaker 6: See that gives you hope that things could get better. Yes, Really, 75 00:03:59,559 --> 00:04:03,959 Speaker 6: it's the understanding of the game. We have a lot 76 00:04:03,999 --> 00:04:06,279 Speaker 6: of young guys here, but those young guys are able 77 00:04:06,319 --> 00:04:09,479 Speaker 6: to understand kind of like not just their roles, but 78 00:04:09,519 --> 00:04:12,359 Speaker 6: the rolls around them. The knowledge of the game is growing, 79 00:04:13,839 --> 00:04:16,119 Speaker 6: their their football IQ is growing. So I say that's 80 00:04:16,159 --> 00:04:17,998 Speaker 6: the main That's one of the main things. And the 81 00:04:18,039 --> 00:04:22,039 Speaker 6: second thing is how we continue to jail as a team. 82 00:04:22,399 --> 00:04:25,759 Speaker 6: It's really easy when everything's going good to continue to jail. 83 00:04:26,039 --> 00:04:28,719 Speaker 6: But as we've been going through certain ups and downs 84 00:04:28,719 --> 00:04:31,239 Speaker 6: of the season, I feel like we've gotten closer together. 85 00:04:31,438 --> 00:04:33,879 Speaker 6: And I think that's one of the main things that 86 00:04:33,959 --> 00:04:36,998 Speaker 6: I've seen in championship teams, how close the teams are, 87 00:04:37,479 --> 00:04:38,959 Speaker 6: and I really feel like if we can, if we 88 00:04:38,959 --> 00:04:42,759 Speaker 6: continue to stay close, we have the the the trajectory 89 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:44,319 Speaker 6: to move up by next year. 90 00:04:44,999 --> 00:04:47,238 Speaker 3: I think we saw you talking about room or with 91 00:04:47,359 --> 00:04:51,919 Speaker 3: your whole country service game you start correct, it was 92 00:04:51,999 --> 00:04:53,799 Speaker 3: what was most of the messages if you work from 93 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:54,358 Speaker 3: the gym. 94 00:04:54,159 --> 00:04:56,878 Speaker 6: I'd like to keep those contations between us. If you're mine, 95 00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:58,559 Speaker 6: thank you. 96 00:04:58,639 --> 00:05:04,078 Speaker 8: Coming back Dan's perspection with the reference in say who 97 00:05:04,119 --> 00:05:06,118 Speaker 8: was hired for us? How it was asked SI. 98 00:05:06,399 --> 00:05:07,079 Speaker 6: Type of questions. 99 00:05:07,318 --> 00:05:09,479 Speaker 8: You see, you gotta take a mentality with the offseason. 100 00:05:09,799 --> 00:05:11,039 Speaker 8: You've got attacked every. 101 00:05:10,919 --> 00:05:11,959 Speaker 6: Day like that. 102 00:05:12,799 --> 00:05:14,799 Speaker 8: You have a similar message for the other guys in 103 00:05:14,879 --> 00:05:17,199 Speaker 8: that locker, particularly those may not have been part of 104 00:05:17,519 --> 00:05:19,359 Speaker 8: the winning culture like the three players. 105 00:05:19,958 --> 00:05:23,198 Speaker 6: Yeah, the message is still the same. Whatever you did 106 00:05:23,239 --> 00:05:25,799 Speaker 6: this year, if you liked it, if you think you 107 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:29,039 Speaker 6: did really good, then continue that work really hard. If 108 00:05:29,078 --> 00:05:30,479 Speaker 6: you don't like it, if you didn't think you didn't 109 00:05:30,719 --> 00:05:33,318 Speaker 6: do good, or whatever cases you didn't play. Using Pettie 110 00:05:33,318 --> 00:05:35,919 Speaker 6: Squad will take all that into the off season to 111 00:05:35,958 --> 00:05:39,158 Speaker 6: where you are in a better spot by this time 112 00:05:39,239 --> 00:05:41,319 Speaker 6: next year. And that's kind of what the goal is 113 00:05:41,359 --> 00:05:44,919 Speaker 6: to That's how I always approached all season to be 114 00:05:44,919 --> 00:05:46,919 Speaker 6: better than I was last year. 115 00:05:48,399 --> 00:05:51,438 Speaker 5: Just feels like the young players are really learning mental 116 00:05:51,479 --> 00:05:54,679 Speaker 5: toughness and specifically how to let go of bad plays 117 00:05:54,719 --> 00:05:58,799 Speaker 5: in bad games. Yes, so you agree, However, you see 118 00:05:58,879 --> 00:06:00,558 Speaker 5: that this season it's open. 119 00:06:01,399 --> 00:06:03,799 Speaker 6: Really. One thing or two things I always say is 120 00:06:05,318 --> 00:06:09,358 Speaker 6: be unphazed and resiliency. Talk about those two things throughout 121 00:06:09,399 --> 00:06:12,519 Speaker 6: the game and also a season when bad things happen, 122 00:06:12,799 --> 00:06:15,799 Speaker 6: we can't continue to as old saying goes, cry over 123 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,598 Speaker 6: spilt milk. We have to continue to move on because 124 00:06:18,958 --> 00:06:21,439 Speaker 6: we can't let one bad player turn two, three, four 125 00:06:21,639 --> 00:06:24,439 Speaker 6: and now you're just having a bad game. So you 126 00:06:24,438 --> 00:06:26,919 Speaker 6: have to be able to have that play with it's 127 00:06:26,919 --> 00:06:29,759 Speaker 6: good or bad and move on. So it's just learning 128 00:06:29,759 --> 00:06:32,199 Speaker 6: and learn and that short term memory as a player 129 00:06:32,799 --> 00:06:35,959 Speaker 6: and after the game learning how to take that, take 130 00:06:35,958 --> 00:06:39,478 Speaker 6: everything in, dissect it, learn from it, and then capitalize 131 00:06:39,479 --> 00:06:40,759 Speaker 6: on next week. So do you. 132 00:06:40,719 --> 00:06:45,118 Speaker 5: Guys you know physically hanging how do you recognize it 133 00:06:45,159 --> 00:06:45,879 Speaker 5: when happens? 134 00:06:45,999 --> 00:06:48,359 Speaker 6: Oh, you know, it's a little different things. You know, 135 00:06:48,558 --> 00:06:50,599 Speaker 6: you may see a handclap, may see your head drop, 136 00:06:50,958 --> 00:06:53,399 Speaker 6: may see like them just in their head as you 137 00:06:53,479 --> 00:06:57,118 Speaker 6: know somebody, you know how they demeanor, could be on 138 00:06:57,159 --> 00:06:59,479 Speaker 6: the sideline or on the field. So just give them 139 00:06:59,519 --> 00:07:01,919 Speaker 6: a little talk. Hey, look, don't worry about that next play, 140 00:07:02,078 --> 00:07:04,399 Speaker 6: move on or seeing it in practice so that if 141 00:07:04,438 --> 00:07:06,359 Speaker 6: you do see in the game, they already know those 142 00:07:06,399 --> 00:07:07,999 Speaker 6: cues that to give themselves. 143 00:07:08,678 --> 00:07:11,599 Speaker 4: Did you Manufacturing pressure was a pretty big talking point 144 00:07:11,599 --> 00:07:14,599 Speaker 4: when other time a manufacturing pressure like line games, things 145 00:07:14,599 --> 00:07:16,399 Speaker 4: like that was a big talking point earlier in the season. 146 00:07:16,599 --> 00:07:18,519 Speaker 4: Seems like those haven't really gotten home a ton. I'm 147 00:07:18,559 --> 00:07:20,518 Speaker 4: just curious from your perspective, would you agree with that 148 00:07:20,559 --> 00:07:22,559 Speaker 4: assessment and what exactly is the reason behind. 149 00:07:22,359 --> 00:07:28,799 Speaker 6: Those struggles, the struggles for manufacturing pressure like games and whatnot. Yeah, 150 00:07:29,078 --> 00:07:33,639 Speaker 6: you know, then do then do our best of rushing 151 00:07:33,639 --> 00:07:36,439 Speaker 6: the quarterback last week? But I have felt like we 152 00:07:36,599 --> 00:07:39,319 Speaker 6: have been able to get pressure on the quarterback. A 153 00:07:39,359 --> 00:07:41,359 Speaker 6: lot of the quarterbacks that we face, we're able to run. 154 00:07:42,119 --> 00:07:45,799 Speaker 6: So the main focus for us was keeping them in 155 00:07:45,839 --> 00:07:49,159 Speaker 6: the pocket. And sometimes as is a day is the 156 00:07:49,239 --> 00:07:51,119 Speaker 6: days go on or the games go on when they 157 00:07:51,159 --> 00:07:54,239 Speaker 6: say you find yourself in the more so of a 158 00:07:54,599 --> 00:07:57,759 Speaker 6: of a power to fall back in or instead of 159 00:07:57,919 --> 00:07:59,839 Speaker 6: getting a really good rush in because then you can 160 00:07:59,919 --> 00:08:03,159 Speaker 6: have a gap in the defensive line. More so running 161 00:08:03,159 --> 00:08:06,359 Speaker 6: a game, but with the with the mindset of not 162 00:08:06,439 --> 00:08:08,479 Speaker 6: being able to pass the quarterbacks. So sometimes that may 163 00:08:08,519 --> 00:08:10,239 Speaker 6: look as if we're not getting a lot of pressure, 164 00:08:10,439 --> 00:08:12,518 Speaker 6: but what we're doing is really really closing the pocket 165 00:08:12,559 --> 00:08:14,999 Speaker 6: in and that also in a sense, can make the 166 00:08:15,078 --> 00:08:18,479 Speaker 6: quarterback speed. This process up or feel uncomfortable in the 167 00:08:18,519 --> 00:08:22,079 Speaker 6: pocket because most quarterbacks have timings. They trust their feet. 168 00:08:22,239 --> 00:08:24,398 Speaker 6: So if you're putting guys on their feet all the time, 169 00:08:24,479 --> 00:08:27,719 Speaker 6: they have to step back, bounce back, look around. Uh 170 00:08:27,759 --> 00:08:30,479 Speaker 6: So that's kind of things that are unseen sometimes by 171 00:08:30,519 --> 00:08:34,359 Speaker 6: the untrained on But as you watch defensive lines, yes 172 00:08:34,439 --> 00:08:35,999 Speaker 6: you do have the guys, and yes we do need 173 00:08:36,239 --> 00:08:39,239 Speaker 6: pressure a lot, penetrating the guy, making him bounce around 174 00:08:39,519 --> 00:08:43,119 Speaker 6: or sacking him a lot more. But collectively, as a 175 00:08:43,159 --> 00:08:46,118 Speaker 6: defensive line, our goal is we have quarterbacks who are 176 00:08:46,199 --> 00:08:49,279 Speaker 6: very agile in the pocket and to close the pocket in, 177 00:08:49,799 --> 00:08:52,039 Speaker 6: make that make that pressure, make you feel feel the 178 00:08:52,078 --> 00:08:54,479 Speaker 6: pressure throughout the game. And that's it. 179 00:08:55,399 --> 00:08:59,279 Speaker 10: Yanks, thank you, it's up, guys. 180 00:09:01,039 --> 00:09:07,359 Speaker 1: Happy New Year, guys. Five that's rock.

We did our nearest kiss a little bit earlier. 185 00:09:18,719 --> 00:09:20,839 Speaker 6: And your resolutions for twenty five. 186 00:09:21,359 --> 00:09:24,479 Speaker 1: I have a few. We'll keep those to myself, but 187 00:09:24,759 --> 00:09:25,279 Speaker 1: I have a few. 188 00:09:25,919 --> 00:09:26,199 Speaker 6: Okay. 189 00:09:26,279 --> 00:09:28,799 Speaker 9: How would you describe the twin around the team and 190 00:09:29,319 --> 00:09:31,199 Speaker 9: keeping a messagevation last game? 191 00:09:31,919 --> 00:09:33,119 Speaker 5: Three wins tough? 192 00:09:34,199 --> 00:09:38,719 Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean obviously everybody's disappointed, everybody is nobody's happy 193 00:09:39,359 --> 00:09:41,159 Speaker 10: to be where we are, and I think everybody can 194 00:09:41,239 --> 00:09:43,559 Speaker 10: see that this is not what we want in for 195 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:47,119 Speaker 10: a season at all. No one comes into this wanting 196 00:09:47,239 --> 00:09:49,679 Speaker 10: this at all. We don't put in all that work 197 00:09:49,759 --> 00:09:52,799 Speaker 10: to put out the product that we've put out there. 198 00:09:54,119 --> 00:09:56,599 Speaker 10: But we are where we are, and we have another 199 00:09:56,639 --> 00:09:58,439 Speaker 10: game on schedule. We sign up for seventeen of them, 200 00:09:59,519 --> 00:10:01,359 Speaker 10: So we're going to attack this week just like any 201 00:10:01,399 --> 00:10:04,199 Speaker 10: other week, and I think a lot of guys are excited. 202 00:10:03,919 --> 00:10:05,239 Speaker 1: For that opportunity. 203 00:10:09,399 --> 00:10:11,159 Speaker 6: Has to change this team to. 204 00:10:14,599 --> 00:10:14,799 Speaker 8: Yeah. 205 00:10:14,839 --> 00:10:18,759 Speaker 10: I mean, obviously we've had some bad games, but we've 206 00:10:18,799 --> 00:10:21,479 Speaker 10: also been right there too in in a handful of games. 207 00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:24,599 Speaker 10: I mean, you know, if we I think we need 208 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:26,519 Speaker 10: to be better in some of that situational football and 209 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:28,319 Speaker 10: a lot of aspects. And you know, if we flip 210 00:10:28,519 --> 00:10:30,679 Speaker 10: half of those close games, I mean maybe the season 211 00:10:30,719 --> 00:10:31,799 Speaker 10: looks a little bit different. 212 00:10:33,079 --> 00:10:33,239 Speaker 6: You know. 213 00:10:33,319 --> 00:10:35,319 Speaker 10: Obviously, we all got to look ourselves in the mirror 214 00:10:35,759 --> 00:10:38,359 Speaker 10: and try to get better personally. I know I'm going 215 00:10:38,439 --> 00:10:41,879 Speaker 10: through this offseason and I think that's that should be 216 00:10:41,919 --> 00:10:46,439 Speaker 10: the main focus. I don't I can't talk on you know, personnel, 217 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:50,759 Speaker 10: and all that stuff. But I think you know, we 218 00:10:50,839 --> 00:10:52,319 Speaker 10: were close in a lot of games. I mean, obviously 219 00:10:52,319 --> 00:10:53,559 Speaker 10: there were some games that got out of hand. I 220 00:10:53,599 --> 00:10:55,719 Speaker 10: mean this past week was was not good enough at all. 221 00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,799 Speaker 10: But you know, you you flip some of those close games, 222 00:11:00,079 --> 00:11:02,119 Speaker 10: it could this season could look a tad different. 223 00:11:02,479 --> 00:11:06,959 Speaker 4: Plat we dig it out a hand, but really was too. 224 00:11:08,519 --> 00:11:14,919 Speaker 6: Flock the beatable scalp tRNS put courage. Yeah, so from 225 00:11:14,959 --> 00:11:16,039 Speaker 6: the outside. 226 00:11:15,879 --> 00:11:21,359 Speaker 8: Were looking at its recent but do you guys feel as. 227 00:11:21,279 --> 00:11:24,479 Speaker 6: If you're the rank break through all? 228 00:11:24,719 --> 00:11:29,599 Speaker 10: I mean those games, yeah, I mean it's it's hard. 229 00:11:29,639 --> 00:11:31,599 Speaker 10: It's it's most like what have you done for me lately? 230 00:11:32,079 --> 00:11:32,879 Speaker 6: In this league? 231 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,639 Speaker 10: It really can look at two weeks ago, you can 232 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:38,519 Speaker 10: look at a month ago, Oh we played good in 233 00:11:38,599 --> 00:11:41,759 Speaker 10: this game. It is really you know, I mean it's 234 00:11:41,799 --> 00:11:45,039 Speaker 10: a game by game league, man, it really is. But 235 00:11:45,119 --> 00:11:46,999 Speaker 10: I mean we've got a lot of competitors in there, man. 236 00:11:47,039 --> 00:11:48,879 Speaker 10: We just I think it goes back to to like 237 00:11:49,399 --> 00:11:51,519 Speaker 10: what the question before is, just we've got to be 238 00:11:51,599 --> 00:11:55,599 Speaker 10: more consistent and find that consistency. You're not going to 239 00:11:55,639 --> 00:11:58,799 Speaker 10: be perfect playing this game at all, but you know, 240 00:11:58,919 --> 00:12:01,919 Speaker 10: if you can obviously stack more positive plays than negative 241 00:12:01,959 --> 00:12:05,519 Speaker 10: plays and cut down the turnovers, cut down you know, 242 00:12:05,599 --> 00:12:08,799 Speaker 10: the small details of different things, like we've got to 243 00:12:08,839 --> 00:12:11,159 Speaker 10: find a way to be more consistent as a football team. 244 00:12:13,119 --> 00:12:18,078 Speaker 6: How would you never see that much? Is there? There's 245 00:12:18,079 --> 00:12:19,879 Speaker 6: still too many of those where. 246 00:12:19,839 --> 00:12:24,639 Speaker 10: Those way there's there's definitely still mistakes that are you know, 247 00:12:25,239 --> 00:12:28,439 Speaker 10: can obviously like just that. You can look at the 248 00:12:28,519 --> 00:12:31,279 Speaker 10: glaring like turnovers, like just a bad turnover on on 249 00:12:31,439 --> 00:12:35,119 Speaker 10: Sunday on you know, just bad ball handling giving them 250 00:12:35,159 --> 00:12:38,559 Speaker 10: a plus field when we're already down ten to zero. Fumble. 251 00:12:39,599 --> 00:12:41,919 Speaker 10: You know, we just have timely turnovers a lot this year. 252 00:12:41,999 --> 00:12:45,359 Speaker 10: That and a lot of timely penalties that are just 253 00:12:45,479 --> 00:12:48,239 Speaker 10: costly for us. You know, we're just there's it's a 254 00:12:48,279 --> 00:12:50,999 Speaker 10: lot to overcome sometimes and put a lot of pressure 255 00:12:51,039 --> 00:12:54,679 Speaker 10: on the defense sometimes like when they're backed up and 256 00:12:54,799 --> 00:12:57,279 Speaker 10: we're giving you know, the other team an advantage and 257 00:12:57,439 --> 00:12:58,359 Speaker 10: just handing them the ball. 258 00:13:01,359 --> 00:13:03,239 Speaker 8: Some of us would say that the tight end group 259 00:13:03,439 --> 00:13:07,439 Speaker 8: has been the most consistent and perhapen positions for this team. 260 00:13:07,999 --> 00:13:11,519 Speaker 8: What are the intangible chary Semestians fallings in that the 261 00:13:11,639 --> 00:13:14,799 Speaker 8: coach through the players, veterans, youngsters alike. 262 00:13:15,239 --> 00:13:17,399 Speaker 10: Yeah, I think what you said there, I mean it 263 00:13:17,439 --> 00:13:20,439 Speaker 10: starts with Bob Martine. Coach has been fantastic. He's been 264 00:13:20,479 --> 00:13:24,039 Speaker 10: a fantastic ad. He brings a lot of good energy. 265 00:13:24,079 --> 00:13:26,159 Speaker 10: He's played, he's coach in this league for a long 266 00:13:26,279 --> 00:13:28,239 Speaker 10: long time and coach a lot of good football players, 267 00:13:28,239 --> 00:13:31,759 Speaker 10: and so he brings that level expertise with a lot 268 00:13:31,799 --> 00:13:33,999 Speaker 10: of good football players that he's able to rub off 269 00:13:34,079 --> 00:13:36,519 Speaker 10: on us how he sees things. And then you had 270 00:13:36,639 --> 00:13:39,958 Speaker 10: a guy like Hooper that's been you know, tremendous for 271 00:13:40,199 --> 00:13:43,319 Speaker 10: for myself and tremendous for the room too. And then 272 00:13:43,359 --> 00:13:46,519 Speaker 10: we have you know, just valuable ads and uh and 273 00:13:46,879 --> 00:13:50,639 Speaker 10: Jaheim and Mitch and Jack Westover. I mean, we just 274 00:13:50,719 --> 00:13:54,199 Speaker 10: we just have a really solid room and it's it's 275 00:13:54,239 --> 00:13:56,679 Speaker 10: a it's a fun room to be in. It really 276 00:13:56,719 --> 00:13:59,159 Speaker 10: has been. It's been a pleasure to be with all 277 00:13:59,199 --> 00:14:02,399 Speaker 10: those guys this year because I feel like I've grown 278 00:14:02,399 --> 00:14:05,439 Speaker 10: a lot, just even in my ninth year, learning from Hoop, 279 00:14:05,599 --> 00:14:07,679 Speaker 10: learning from Bob, learning from even some of the you know, 280 00:14:07,799 --> 00:14:10,838 Speaker 10: the young guys. So it's it's been a really enjoyable, 281 00:14:11,119 --> 00:14:11,559 Speaker 10: fun room. 282 00:14:11,799 --> 00:14:14,239 Speaker 4: After adding to that consistency element, there's a lot of 283 00:14:14,279 --> 00:14:15,759 Speaker 4: youth and inexperience on offense. 284 00:14:15,799 --> 00:14:17,718 Speaker 6: So how hard is it to be consistent when you 285 00:14:17,839 --> 00:14:19,079 Speaker 6: do have that youth in experience? 286 00:14:19,119 --> 00:14:21,399 Speaker 3: And how can it sometimes be valuable long term to 287 00:14:21,439 --> 00:14:22,759 Speaker 3: have all these young guys kind of thrown it in 288 00:14:22,839 --> 00:14:23,159 Speaker 3: the fire. 289 00:14:23,839 --> 00:14:27,119 Speaker 10: I mean, I don't think it's it's I think we 290 00:14:27,599 --> 00:14:30,759 Speaker 10: like they they've all played a full seasons clean now, 291 00:14:31,359 --> 00:14:34,079 Speaker 10: so you know, they're not not really rookies anymore. I 292 00:14:34,159 --> 00:14:36,279 Speaker 10: mean they've they've they've got a lot of games behind them, 293 00:14:36,839 --> 00:14:41,279 Speaker 10: so you know, there's there's a lot to learn. I 294 00:14:41,319 --> 00:14:42,679 Speaker 10: think you just got to look it back on the 295 00:14:42,759 --> 00:14:45,679 Speaker 10: experiences and learn from them and grow from them. That's 296 00:14:45,959 --> 00:14:48,079 Speaker 10: I had to learn that early when I was in 297 00:14:48,159 --> 00:14:50,919 Speaker 10: this league. I mean, other guys they're gonna, you know, 298 00:14:51,079 --> 00:14:53,679 Speaker 10: play good, make a good play, do something better than 299 00:14:53,759 --> 00:14:56,399 Speaker 10: you got to learn from it move on. You kind 300 00:14:56,399 --> 00:14:57,999 Speaker 10: of have to have a really short term memory in 301 00:14:58,039 --> 00:15:00,759 Speaker 10: this league, like like Ted Lasso says, you have to 302 00:15:00,959 --> 00:15:04,119 Speaker 10: kind of be a goldfish, Like I love that quote, 303 00:15:04,159 --> 00:15:05,799 Speaker 10: just because you've got to take it's heart. Like really, 304 00:15:05,839 --> 00:15:09,399 Speaker 10: at this level, it's you got to bounce back, man. 305 00:15:09,639 --> 00:15:11,879 Speaker 10: And I think we have a lot of young guys 306 00:15:11,919 --> 00:15:15,439 Speaker 10: that are like, you know, really learning that trying to 307 00:15:15,479 --> 00:15:18,359 Speaker 10: be mentally tough, learn from their experiences, learn from kind 308 00:15:18,399 --> 00:15:21,599 Speaker 10: of the losses, learn from the bad things. So you know, 309 00:15:22,399 --> 00:15:23,999 Speaker 10: you got to learn that earlier in this league, and 310 00:15:24,119 --> 00:15:25,599 Speaker 10: I think it'll pay dividends down the road. 311 00:15:26,719 --> 00:15:28,719 Speaker 4: With that, said Pops at the other day after the 312 00:15:28,759 --> 00:15:31,039 Speaker 4: game that it's just tired of losing last couple of seasons. 313 00:15:31,119 --> 00:15:32,919 Speaker 6: You know, he just wants to field the playoffs and. 314 00:15:33,079 --> 00:15:34,439 Speaker 1: Just have a sense of what that's like. 315 00:15:34,999 --> 00:15:36,359 Speaker 5: How do you say, what do you say to some 316 00:15:36,479 --> 00:15:38,159 Speaker 5: of the guys on the team to take that into 317 00:15:38,199 --> 00:15:40,119 Speaker 5: the off season is as you go about your business 318 00:15:40,199 --> 00:15:41,919 Speaker 5: to try to get back to where you want to be. 319 00:15:42,159 --> 00:15:43,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's a big off season. 320 00:15:43,399 --> 00:15:45,159 Speaker 10: I mean if you if you have that kind of mentality, 321 00:15:45,199 --> 00:15:46,959 Speaker 10: I mean, you should attack the off season with that 322 00:15:46,999 --> 00:15:49,719 Speaker 10: same mentality, that same rigorous thing like you should have 323 00:15:49,719 --> 00:15:52,239 Speaker 10: approached we should have approached. I mean, everybody should be 324 00:15:52,319 --> 00:15:54,599 Speaker 10: tired of that, and you should approach every single thing 325 00:15:54,639 --> 00:15:58,679 Speaker 10: that you do with those details with that fire, because 326 00:15:58,799 --> 00:16:01,119 Speaker 10: I mean, obviously, I mean I'm in my ninth year. 327 00:16:01,119 --> 00:16:02,839 Speaker 10: I mean I think I want to go through a 328 00:16:02,839 --> 00:16:07,359 Speaker 10: season like this. I don't, so obviously something's got to change, 329 00:16:07,359 --> 00:16:09,639 Speaker 10: and I think it's all just maybe a mentality thing. 330 00:16:09,759 --> 00:16:13,239 Speaker 10: Maybe it's a you know, just consistency thing. So this 331 00:16:13,359 --> 00:16:15,839 Speaker 10: offseason will be big for everybody. 332 00:16:17,479 --> 00:16:19,679 Speaker 6: Depends on who's in the locker room next year. 333 00:16:20,239 --> 00:16:21,559 Speaker 1: But you said you love this offense. 334 00:16:21,679 --> 00:16:24,519 Speaker 5: I'm curious what you think, babyp is that the system 335 00:16:24,519 --> 00:16:27,839 Speaker 5: says the same next season? What could we see next 336 00:16:27,879 --> 00:16:30,999 Speaker 5: season from this offensive scheme that you as having children? 337 00:16:31,279 --> 00:16:32,159 Speaker 6: Yeah, well, I. 338 00:16:32,159 --> 00:16:34,119 Speaker 10: Think I think it's when you carry over with the 339 00:16:34,519 --> 00:16:37,959 Speaker 10: you know, obviously there will be changes obviously in a 340 00:16:37,999 --> 00:16:40,279 Speaker 10: locker room and on a year to year basis, but 341 00:16:40,319 --> 00:16:43,799 Speaker 10: there still will be a carryover of guys. And so 342 00:16:43,999 --> 00:16:47,599 Speaker 10: when you can carry over an offense into an off season, 343 00:16:47,679 --> 00:16:50,319 Speaker 10: you can kind of sometimes build upon it in a 344 00:16:50,359 --> 00:16:53,279 Speaker 10: lot of ways. Where when you bring in someone new, 345 00:16:53,319 --> 00:16:55,519 Speaker 10: I mean, you're you're learning that scheme and trying to 346 00:16:55,559 --> 00:16:57,079 Speaker 10: implement it, and you're just trying to learn it in 347 00:16:57,159 --> 00:16:59,439 Speaker 10: a way. When you kind of already know a scheme, 348 00:16:59,519 --> 00:17:01,319 Speaker 10: you can kind of grow in it and evolve it 349 00:17:01,399 --> 00:17:03,759 Speaker 10: in a way to you know, make it your own. 350 00:17:04,279 --> 00:17:06,519 Speaker 10: Let's just I'm I can speak personally like on routes 351 00:17:06,559 --> 00:17:07,039 Speaker 10: and different things. 352 00:17:07,039 --> 00:17:07,398 Speaker 1: I already. 353 00:17:07,398 --> 00:17:09,359 Speaker 10: If I already know the scheme and route, I can 354 00:17:09,439 --> 00:17:12,239 Speaker 10: like kind of it's my canvas, like I can draw 355 00:17:12,319 --> 00:17:14,039 Speaker 10: it this way, I can draw it this way, like 356 00:17:14,158 --> 00:17:17,559 Speaker 10: I can do routes different ways. And so I think 357 00:17:17,599 --> 00:17:19,958 Speaker 10: when you just carry things over, I've I've you know, 358 00:17:20,279 --> 00:17:22,319 Speaker 10: I've loved a VP, I've loved the energy, I've loved 359 00:17:22,319 --> 00:17:25,039 Speaker 10: the offense that he's he's brought here. I really do 360 00:17:25,158 --> 00:17:27,839 Speaker 10: think it's a great scheme, and I think there's a 361 00:17:27,879 --> 00:17:30,119 Speaker 10: lot of room for growth with everybody with it. 362 00:17:31,239 --> 00:17:33,879 Speaker 6: You've been here a player for nine years, You've seen 363 00:17:33,959 --> 00:17:36,079 Speaker 6: a lot.

I mean, he's got a lot 371 00:17:57,438 --> 00:17:59,359 Speaker 10: of talent, he's got a great head on his shoulders, 372 00:17:59,918 --> 00:18:01,838 Speaker 10: he's a tremendous leader, and he's only going to continue 373 00:18:01,839 --> 00:18:04,599 Speaker 10: to grow in that.
