1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:06,160 Speaker 1: Okay, okay, David, good afternoon. Um, I hope you get 2 00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:08,000 Speaker 1: to go to the game in the upcoming week and 3 00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:11,639 Speaker 1: you just, uh, it's all the stat's a Michael gallup 4 00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:19,520 Speaker 1: and and just an ability to make Yeah. Um, you know, 5 00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:22,520 Speaker 1: Michael makes so many of those catches on a regular basis. 6 00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:26,480 Speaker 1: It's just remarkable how he can go up and obviously 7 00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:29,120 Speaker 1: you know, sustain you know, through the injury. But um, 8 00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:33,160 Speaker 1: you know, um, it's been confirmed, you know, Mike, Michael 9 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,479 Speaker 1: has an a an ACL so he has lost for 10 00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:39,960 Speaker 1: the season. But yeah, he'll definitely be missed and just 11 00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:42,320 Speaker 1: a just a class class act. I mean, everybody love 12 00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,800 Speaker 1: loves Michael and um, but yeah, it's very unfortunate loss 13 00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 1: from the game yesterday, and my go ahead and start 14 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:54,280 Speaker 1: will just uh, what's your approach will be to the 15 00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,200 Speaker 1: game this week from a personal standpoints and she hand 16 00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:03,840 Speaker 1: delf or or kind of box stand on your seats. Yeah, definitely. 17 00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,120 Speaker 1: I've talked about last night, talked about again this morning. 18 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 1: We're gonna we're gonna play. We're gonna play to win 19 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 1: the game. So that that's our approach. You know, obviously 20 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 1: with everything in front of us, we understand, you know, 21 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,920 Speaker 1: the scenarios and so forth. But yeah, we're going to 22 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:20,360 Speaker 1: Philadelphia and and um we're gonna you know, line up 23 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 1: to do what we need to do to win the game. Um, 24 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,880 Speaker 1: can you give us any code up days? Any players 25 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:36,039 Speaker 1: jack pot to day? We had zero positive players today 26 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 1: are playing to win this week. Today we don't going 27 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 1: to playoffs. And you know from Sunday, I think, you know, 28 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 1: obviously two schools of thought. I've been part of both 29 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 1: of them in the past. Um, so I had a 30 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 1: chance to you know, talk through that and really the 31 00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 1: result of both scenarios. But you know, I think, just 32 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 1: like anything, this is the best thing for us. I mean, 33 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 1: this is the best thing for our football team. Um, 34 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 1: there are there are you know, slight odds to potentially 35 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,359 Speaker 1: move up. So we want to make sure we take 36 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,960 Speaker 1: care of business on our end and and finish off 37 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,399 Speaker 1: and make sure that you know, we're playing with momentum 38 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 1: going into the game. So this Um, obviously it'll be 39 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 1: a quick week, you know, run a six day week 40 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 1: here prep wise, but yeah, we have full intention. I 41 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,959 Speaker 1: think playing up there in the weather in Philadelphia with 42 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 1: service wells of the Cardinals were the biggest challenges for us. 43 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 1: Particularly I think really probably the biggest challenge um for us, 44 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 1: you know, over the course of the game was you know, 45 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 1: obviously they had they had a number of players that 46 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 1: they moved around and had a number of changes, um 47 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:55,919 Speaker 1: in their high scheme volume and and frankly, um it 48 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,520 Speaker 1: probably helped them in some ways, you know, just um 49 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 1: making sure our identifications were were we're intact. You know, 50 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 1: we had some you know, just had some mishaps and 51 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 1: protection identification and things like that. But yeah, we were 52 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 1: never never in the rhythm that we would have liked 53 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,079 Speaker 1: to Ben I would say never. I mean, we struggled 54 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,919 Speaker 1: with rhythm at times, um, you know, in the passing game. 55 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,360 Speaker 1: And I think, you know, clearly you know that's something 56 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 1: that we can learn from. And you know, I think 57 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,359 Speaker 1: it's all part of this, you know, you know, because hey, 58 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,520 Speaker 1: who knows what's gonna happen this week. I mean, I 59 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 1: mean COVID, you know, COVID maybe part of you know, 60 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 1: the you know, the way Philadelphia lines up, so and 61 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 1: you know, maybe it'll you know, maybe it will be 62 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 1: in the playoffs. So this is definitely something we need 63 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 1: to learn from. Yeah, after the game that he because 64 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 1: I Debaker had said that Arizona intentionally, we're kind of 65 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 1: getting Dak as much hum as possible and trying to 66 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 1: try and confuse him and Jack, and he felt that 67 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 1: defenses have been scheming at the stises more frequently against 68 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 1: him than other quarterbacks to see him. Can you agree 69 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 1: with that based on the study or how would you 70 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 1: affect me disguise? Yeah, definitely. I think, you know, I 71 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 1: think the fact that you know, disguise definitely has increased 72 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 1: because of you know, our ability to play at the 73 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 1: line of scrimmage, our ability to shift from up tempo, 74 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 1: have different forms of up tempo. So I think it's 75 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 1: just all part of the chess match. And I think 76 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 1: frankly really plays to their identity. I mean, I think 77 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 1: their safeties are excellent players, and you know, the ability 78 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 1: to disguise, and particularly you know, Buddha Baker and with 79 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 1: his with his ability to pressure um so uh yeah, 80 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,039 Speaker 1: I think it's clearly something that will continue to see 81 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 1: more off too. I mean that's you know, this is 82 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 1: a league of trends. I think Dak is playing with 83 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:49,479 Speaker 1: a consistent playing as well up and down play. I 84 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,359 Speaker 1: think I think Dak, you know, I think you have 85 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 1: to look at the full body of work. Um, you know, 86 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:57,600 Speaker 1: I think that you know, just being in tune with 87 00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:59,600 Speaker 1: the with the you know, particulars of the game plan 88 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,039 Speaker 1: and what he's being asked to do. I think he's 89 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 1: been very consistent. You know. I just think the fact 90 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:08,280 Speaker 1: that you know the operation and you know, distribution of 91 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 1: the football. You know, you look at that over the 92 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 1: course of the season. Um, you know, do we we 93 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 1: have goals each week and you know he's he's been 94 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 1: hitting those goals on a regular basis. So but yeah, 95 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 1: there's there's always plays and I think the fact that 96 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:24,040 Speaker 1: we're pretty open about, you know, the evaluation everything. We 97 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 1: tend to talk about the you know, the one or 98 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,719 Speaker 1: two that you know, the connection isn't what it should be. 99 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 1: So but uh, you know, there's there's a there's a 100 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 1: lot of good numbers on our offense, and I think 101 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 1: you have to identify that also with the things you 102 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 1: want to you know, isolate from the other side of 103 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:53,800 Speaker 1: the fence. Well, I think just really to get get 104 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:55,600 Speaker 1: in here and see the guys move. I mean, we're 105 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 1: gonna it's gonna be a couple of days, you know, 106 00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 1: because frankly, it's you know, stating the obvious. Tomorrow's a Wednesday, 107 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 1: so we won't be able to do a whole lot 108 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 1: on the field, you know, will be primarily classroom work. 109 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 1: We have a later start. I just make sure the 110 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 1: coaches have plenty of time to get the game plans tight, 111 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 1: you know, particularly the normal D and D parts. So 112 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 1: you know, once we get to Wednesday, I'll probably better 113 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:22,480 Speaker 1: serve to answer that question. What was your reaction when 114 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 1: you learned last night that the game had been moved 115 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 1: from a Sunday afternoon to Saturday evenion? How does that 116 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 1: change the week? And maybe from the cons of at all? Well, Uh, 117 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,359 Speaker 1: you know, I knew there may be an opportunity for 118 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 1: the game to be moved to saturady. Actually, you know, 119 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 1: it was made aware of that, you know, probably five 120 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 1: or excuse me, we ago five or six weeks ago. 121 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,040 Speaker 1: Riches here you're wondering, But yeah, I was made aware 122 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 1: of that five or six weeks ago, So we had 123 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:55,360 Speaker 1: a plan. So, I mean it's I wasn't surprised, uh 124 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 1: that that had happened, but you know, I knew it 125 00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,720 Speaker 1: was a potential that it could happen, So, uh, we're 126 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,839 Speaker 1: ready for it. I'll be glad when it's over. I 127 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:08,040 Speaker 1: guess probably what you want me to say, right, Um, 128 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 1: seven of the first evil eight, the penalties that were 129 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 1: enforced against you guys, seven of the first eight came 130 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 1: one third down. Obviously already getting the rhythm that way. 131 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 1: When you look back and evaluated those penalties at critical times, 132 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 1: what was your assessment evaluated? Yeah, I mean it's, um, 133 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 1: you know, it's it's part of the game that you 134 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 1: you just try to, you know, work the best you can. Obviously, 135 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 1: you know, we identified you know, this is the second 136 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 1: time we've we've had this official group. You know, we 137 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 1: had them in Minnesota, so, um, so we we have 138 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 1: an understanding how they were going to call it. But yeah, 139 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 1: I think you really answered the question with that. It 140 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 1: was a it was a very herky jerky game really 141 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 1: on both sides of the ball, and um, and you 142 00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 1: know that's that's part of the way those games go, 143 00:07:58,600 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 1: and you have you have to you know, you're gonna 144 00:07:59,920 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 1: have games like that, you know, throughout the years. So 145 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,480 Speaker 1: just really emphasizing the you know, the pre and post 146 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 1: snap discipline because those are the ones we've got to 147 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 1: we've got to really eliminate, and you know, the compative penalties. 148 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 1: You can you know, you can talk about those all 149 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 1: you want, but at the end of the day, um, 150 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 1: you know, we just got to keep working, you know, 151 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 1: working our fundamentals and you know, just keep emphasizing the 152 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,520 Speaker 1: techniques and so forth, and you know, hopefully we'll stay 153 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 1: above that. Is there any possibility that you all with 154 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 1: the pull is harder not to review theories or when 155 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 1: games now, I mean our full intention is you know, 156 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 1: as we as we you know, started the game planying 157 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:44,200 Speaker 1: today was the was the play our guys to build 158 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,080 Speaker 1: a game plan to win the game. I think the 159 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 1: other thing it's that people need to recognize, you know, 160 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 1: you only have forty eight players to play the game. 161 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,920 Speaker 1: So you know, going up there and then you start 162 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 1: pulling players, you know, you're you're really putting, you know, 163 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 1: stress on other players that particularly haven't played you know, 164 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:06,680 Speaker 1: maybe that many represent that many positions, so you have 165 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 1: to be cognisitve of that, you know what I'm talking 166 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 1: about special teams and so forth. So I mean we 167 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 1: put a lot of time into the you know, the 168 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:18,320 Speaker 1: potential playtime, you know, reports for projected play for each 169 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 1: player each and every week. So I mean to go 170 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 1: up there and UM, you know, I think you have 171 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 1: to clearly go into the game with the forty eight 172 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:28,800 Speaker 1: guys that you you you are gonna you know, line 173 00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:33,840 Speaker 1: up for four quarters to go win the game. You 174 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 1: mentioned your a couple of weeks when you were getting 175 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:41,680 Speaker 1: smar one. That comes out of an example of the 176 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:46,840 Speaker 1: ways share at the end, I would say, uh, you know, 177 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,679 Speaker 1: oh nine was was a different deal. You know, we 178 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 1: went out there and played Arizona ironically, you know, the 179 00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 1: last week of the season, and you know, they sat there, guys, 180 00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:57,839 Speaker 1: and we played ours because it was you know, our 181 00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:01,559 Speaker 1: first time in the playoffs. We were very very very young, 182 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,240 Speaker 1: youngest team in the league frankly, so we felt it 183 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:07,480 Speaker 1: was important to play UM. So it you know, had 184 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,160 Speaker 1: it was the last game, that didn't mean anything. You know, 185 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 1: I think this game definitely still there's still a chance, 186 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 1: you know, so and I think just the way you've 187 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 1: seen these last couple of weeks ago, I mean, anything 188 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,199 Speaker 1: is possible. So so that's a you know, I think 189 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 1: that's clearly the difference in that. So but then then 190 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 1: we went back out the falling week and played them again, 191 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,880 Speaker 1: so and UM lost the game in overtime. So it's 192 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 1: a you know, Kurt Warner classic, but it's you know, 193 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,600 Speaker 1: I think that you know, you look at those experiences 194 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:36,840 Speaker 1: you know, and I had on the other side of defense. 195 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 1: Um when you know, we're fifteen and one in Green 196 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 1: Bay and and and we rested a bunch of guys 197 00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 1: the last game and it still won the game. But 198 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,680 Speaker 1: you know that the defense you know, was was short, 199 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 1: and you know, and had a rough day, you know, 200 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,760 Speaker 1: and then I think that could have maybe carried over 201 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 1: two into the playoffs two. So I mean, you can 202 00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 1: you can evaluate those things, you can over evaluate them, 203 00:10:58,559 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 1: but I think at the end of the day, you 204 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,720 Speaker 1: have to look what's best for your current team. And 205 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 1: that's where we're doing. And we feel strongly that we 206 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 1: need to go we need to stay in the rhythm. 207 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 1: You know, this is our first time in the playoffs together, 208 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 1: so we want to go in there as strong as possible, 209 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:17,800 Speaker 1: you know, from a play style and momentum standpoint, Like 210 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 1: you un after the game that questionable officiating, do you 211 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 1: have any concerns at all about future games with guys 212 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,400 Speaker 1: and things that are going that way again with calls 213 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:33,640 Speaker 1: that it could be a distraction for them where they 214 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 1: kind of feel like, here we go again. I wouldn't 215 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:41,120 Speaker 1: say distracted. I think, like anything. You know, you know, 216 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:43,640 Speaker 1: when you when you do a game plan, you have 217 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 1: you know, official you know, we have officials, um, you 218 00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 1: know report you know, because you know, every cruise different. Um. 219 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,320 Speaker 1: You know, they have statistics that have trends, you know, 220 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 1: they have tendencies and you know, and I think with that, 221 00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 1: because you're you know, it's a it's a good way 222 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 1: to emphasize, you know, what's what's in front of you, 223 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:04,600 Speaker 1: and it just another way to keep emphasizing you know, 224 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:08,120 Speaker 1: playing with with discipline, technique and so forth and so forth. 225 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 1: So yeah, to me, it's it's part of the It's 226 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 1: part of the game. Uh, it's it's part of the game. 227 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:17,160 Speaker 1: You can't control, um, So I mean there's no excuses there. 228 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,720 Speaker 1: But yeah, I think, you know, like anything, And I 229 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:22,120 Speaker 1: mean that that was a that was a it was 230 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 1: a herky jerky game that you know that there wasn't 231 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 1: a whole lot of rhythm to the game. It was 232 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 1: up and down really, you know, all four quarters. And 233 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:33,679 Speaker 1: you know, and I think our guys were obviously disappointed 234 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 1: in the outcome. So but you know, we'll trust me, 235 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 1: we'll move forward. We're in a short week. We really 236 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 1: don't have any time to really go back and reflect 237 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 1: on it. But it's just you know, we guys, we 238 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:44,839 Speaker 1: just gotta continue to take care of what we can 239 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 1: we can control and is we just got to you know, 240 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:58,680 Speaker 1: stay focused on on the details. Well, I think I 241 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 1: think the biggest thing is take away up coportunities, you know, 242 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 1: and we had a few so um and I you know, 243 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:05,400 Speaker 1: and you know, they did a really good job of 244 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 1: sustaining drives. I think it was that was a big 245 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,200 Speaker 1: part of their success. I mean, you look at the 246 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 1: time of possession, but you know, the takeaway opportunities come first, 247 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:16,320 Speaker 1: you know, you know, as long as we keep banging 248 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,320 Speaker 1: on the door, and we had some opportunities, I'm not 249 00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:22,920 Speaker 1: I don't concern myself with with with the numbers because 250 00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 1: I mean you need to. You know, obviously they factor 251 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:29,480 Speaker 1: in a way. You know, you our games have gone 252 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 1: us year if you just look at the success we've 253 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:33,760 Speaker 1: had when we have had to takeaways. But you know, 254 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 1: it's it's not an absolute so I mean we put 255 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 1: a lot of time into it. You know, it's part 256 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,160 Speaker 1: of our identity. But you know, at the end of 257 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 1: the day, if you know, you got to take care 258 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 1: of it and try to take away and you know, 259 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,400 Speaker 1: we're definitely getting ourselves in position. You know, guy, I 260 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,280 Speaker 1: got our guys are playing with the right play style, 261 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 1: so you know, I think it's just you know, something 262 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 1: to make you just hopefully just be a one week 263 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,440 Speaker 1: deal where we didn't actually get one, but but the 264 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:57,920 Speaker 1: but the opportunities with our guys are in position, and 265 00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 1: that's the hardest part. So uhel good about that. Like 266 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:07,920 Speaker 1: we asked you a lot last week about jerseys and 267 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:11,680 Speaker 1: pain and you see as much yesterday. What was that 268 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:13,960 Speaker 1: some of that because of what they were doing, the things, 269 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,839 Speaker 1: the lean disguising and it took some time to get 270 00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:18,920 Speaker 1: the white loads and how much of it was I 271 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 1: think we're holding the ball on all fens and you 272 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:22,880 Speaker 1: didn't feel what your in a position to go out 273 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:25,360 Speaker 1: there and do a way three now, well, I think 274 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 1: it's really part of the you know, the early answer 275 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 1: with the rhythm, I mean, it's you know, it's it's 276 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 1: hard to get into an up tempo offense when you're 277 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 1: you know, the herky jerkiness of the penalties and in 278 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:36,960 Speaker 1: the resets and you're you know, you're not converting the 279 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:38,840 Speaker 1: third downs. I think we had three through three owns. 280 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 1: But I mean, so we were able to fight through 281 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:43,560 Speaker 1: some of it. We just we just weren't able to 282 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:47,400 Speaker 1: overcoming it enough to you know, get into get into 283 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 1: the type of game you would prefer to play. And 284 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 1: that that's that's the challenge in in Herky Jerky games. 285 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,280 Speaker 1: I mean, every game has its own evan float. That's 286 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 1: that's the beauty of this competitive rainy that we that 287 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,240 Speaker 1: we work in is uh, you know, no games ever 288 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 1: exactly the same. So um, and the flow of that 289 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,360 Speaker 1: game was it was a bit of a challenge. And 290 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 1: you know, I think I clearly played in the you know, 291 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 1: some of the reasons why we weren't probably in the 292 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 1: up tempo as much as we would have liked him been. 293 00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 1: I think, yeah, I mean, yeah, definitely. I mean I 294 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,280 Speaker 1: think just you know, you look at the way you know, 295 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,360 Speaker 1: look at the way you know fishing, and it's gone 296 00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 1: this year. You know, replay assist is now part of 297 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:33,400 Speaker 1: the equation. Um, you know, and I think in that 298 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,640 Speaker 1: particular instance, um, you know, and it's something that I 299 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 1: was trying to echo to Derek there. Um, you know, 300 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,640 Speaker 1: the down judge was you know, take it to replay, 301 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:44,720 Speaker 1: and you know, and then when he didn't, Um, you 302 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 1: know you do have replay assist. I mean replay assists 303 00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 1: I think has been has been outstanding this year. How 304 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,560 Speaker 1: mean it goes on? I think when there's times during 305 00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:54,400 Speaker 1: the course of the game, I'm sure the public doesn't 306 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,440 Speaker 1: even know that it's there. So, um, they corrected a 307 00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 1: couple you know, I know they corrected a spot earlier 308 00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 1: in the game on a tight end screen at Arizona 309 00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:06,680 Speaker 1: Hads so but yeah, just the communication I received on 310 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:10,400 Speaker 1: the sideline was there wasn't enough information for them to 311 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:13,360 Speaker 1: stop it, is what Derek told me. And you know, 312 00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,600 Speaker 1: because the only thing that stops replay is assist is 313 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 1: if the offense goes into a turbo or cheetah whatever, 314 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:22,320 Speaker 1: you hurry up, whatever you whatever you want to call it. 315 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 1: And you know, Arizona was in a four minute We 316 00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,920 Speaker 1: were in a four minute situation and they did not 317 00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:31,520 Speaker 1: hurry up. So, um, it was definitely an opportunity where 318 00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:33,880 Speaker 1: I think it would have been beneficial for them to 319 00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 1: look at it. Yeah, I'm sorry. Um. With Jordan Lewis 320 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:51,680 Speaker 1: is coming back from COVID, his role in the course 321 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:56,400 Speaker 1: of the game. Absolutely, you talk about his play time, Mike, Yes, absolutely, 322 00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,080 Speaker 1: And I just think, you know, stay in the obvious 323 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,440 Speaker 1: coming back, you know, and some time we were very 324 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,800 Speaker 1: cognizant of his reps. And you know, I thought, I 325 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,720 Speaker 1: thought the coaches and and jaylu did a nice job 326 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:09,920 Speaker 1: communicating that, you know, through the course of the game. 327 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:18,000 Speaker 1: The layer game on the two point conversion attempts, Yeah, 328 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:23,920 Speaker 1: we walked through that sequens and how they developed. Well, 329 00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 1: I mean obviously we got we got to be better there, 330 00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:29,399 Speaker 1: but you know, it seemed like we had we had 331 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:31,360 Speaker 1: a couple of instances throughout the game, you know, no 332 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:34,000 Speaker 1: no difference in the timeout that you know that was 333 00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:38,160 Speaker 1: that we called on their you know, field goal alignment situation. 334 00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,159 Speaker 1: You know it's uh, you know times when you do 335 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,879 Speaker 1: go from from one to two, and they do emphasize 336 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,080 Speaker 1: the fact that you know this, you know, the pace 337 00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:48,359 Speaker 1: of game is important, but you know, when you do 338 00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,240 Speaker 1: go from a one point situation to two, it's sometimes 339 00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:53,399 Speaker 1: takes a little takes a little longer to get the 340 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,399 Speaker 1: substitution in. So um, but yeah, we got to be 341 00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:59,720 Speaker 1: cleaner there. I thought that I thought the operation was fine, 342 00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:02,840 Speaker 1: but Um, obviously it wasn't you know when they called it. 343 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:10,120 Speaker 1: They called a delay game three times on fourth down, 344 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 1: converted all three. What was working on work down and 345 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:15,560 Speaker 1: each ops? About the decisions and when you want to 346 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:21,240 Speaker 1: play more pally conservative, Well, I mean that that varies 347 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:23,920 Speaker 1: every week, you know, I think. And also you get 348 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:25,880 Speaker 1: into the eb and flow of the game. So those 349 00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,640 Speaker 1: are those are the conversations that are going on during 350 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:31,240 Speaker 1: the course of the game. That's that's what the offensive 351 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,119 Speaker 1: coaches are talking about, and that's what you're you know, 352 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:36,520 Speaker 1: you're you're boncling back and forth from the offensive defense. 353 00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:39,680 Speaker 1: So but yeah, you know, we have a general idea. 354 00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:41,840 Speaker 1: You know, whether it's fourth and four or three, you 355 00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:45,399 Speaker 1: know field position going into the game, but you know 356 00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:47,920 Speaker 1: the eve and flow of the game and how how 357 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,560 Speaker 1: it you know, lays out. I thought that was were 358 00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:54,200 Speaker 1: clear decisions and obviously I thought we had excellent play 359 00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:57,359 Speaker 1: call in execution in those in those situations, I thought 360 00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:03,360 Speaker 1: that was definitely a strength. Any anticipation of New York 361 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:08,840 Speaker 1: A mid week, I under the new protocols, I'll be 362 00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:12,920 Speaker 1: hopeful that yes, I'm hoping, Uh, we'll know more tomorrow. 363 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:15,920 Speaker 1: Um so I think Wednesday is probably more a little 364 00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:22,000 Speaker 1: more realistic, he said yesterday. The run game is something 365 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:26,800 Speaker 1: you have to have. You realize about getting a running 366 00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:31,879 Speaker 1: game time the playoffs, Well, I mean it has to 367 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:35,160 Speaker 1: be so, I mean I think we understand that. And um, 368 00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,760 Speaker 1: you know, I think going back to the Evan flow, 369 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 1: herky jerky, you know, whatever or how you want to 370 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:44,480 Speaker 1: describe it. You know, I think that was part of 371 00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:45,960 Speaker 1: it yesterday. I mean, because you know, when you do 372 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,840 Speaker 1: have penalties, you know, the down distances obviously tilled against you. 373 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:52,440 Speaker 1: But yeah, we we understand what the run game means 374 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:54,920 Speaker 1: to not only our offense, but the our whole football team. 375 00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,200 Speaker 1: You you run to football for your for your whole 376 00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,840 Speaker 1: football team, and I think clearly at the time of 377 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:04,600 Speaker 1: possession being you know that unbalanced is you know, would 378 00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:10,639 Speaker 1: just reconfirm how important it is to our football team. 379 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:14,040 Speaker 1: On an updated on Blake Darwin and which is the 380 00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:16,760 Speaker 1: latest is with Blake? Does he ever chance to come back? Yeah, 381 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,200 Speaker 1: we're hopeful. I mean actually I thought Blake had an 382 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:23,960 Speaker 1: excellent workout Saturday, so we're hopefully maybe uh you know, 383 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:25,359 Speaker 1: maybe we may be able to get him back on 384 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 1: the field this week. So yeah, he he definitely has 385 00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:30,720 Speaker 1: a chance to potentially be out there. So made a 386 00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 1: lot of progress here over the last ten days. I 387 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:38,640 Speaker 1: really liked his workout Saturday.
