1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,559 Speaker 1: Can you talk about the value that you and Joe 2 00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:06,960 Speaker 1: puts on smarts in players? And UM, let me ask you. 3 00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:09,719 Speaker 1: I'll have another one for you after that. Good? Okay, Well, 4 00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:11,880 Speaker 1: I can't speak for Joe, but for me, I think 5 00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:15,360 Speaker 1: it's important young guys who are have some good football 6 00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:18,560 Speaker 1: awareness and instincts. So I guess that factors into the 7 00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:21,599 Speaker 1: smart part. You know. The biggest thing is I could 8 00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:24,239 Speaker 1: care less about what is off the off the field, 9 00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:26,000 Speaker 1: like not in a bad way, but I can care 10 00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:28,200 Speaker 1: less about off the field, but go on the field 11 00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:32,959 Speaker 1: able to this, uh, figure out what the offense is doing? Um? 12 00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:36,000 Speaker 1: Can they can? They process? Um multiple things that we 13 00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:38,239 Speaker 1: might give them one to give and play. But I 14 00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,400 Speaker 1: do think that you know, you put a high value 15 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 1: on that because it helps you be more multiple, It 16 00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:45,760 Speaker 1: helps you to do more things and just more aware 17 00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:49,600 Speaker 1: players end up making more plays. And do you you 18 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:52,720 Speaker 1: in the Jason share a unique bonds. You're both idea leaguers, 19 00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:55,200 Speaker 1: so there's not a lot of coordinators UM in the 20 00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:58,320 Speaker 1: NFL idea leaguers. Do you talk about that much, share 21 00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:01,280 Speaker 1: your experiences and is there a pride factor in that? No? 22 00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:03,920 Speaker 1: I mean, we we've talked about before. Briefly, but like 23 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,080 Speaker 1: not nothing big. I mean, I wasn't a good player. 24 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 1: He was a good player. So it's a totally different situation. 25 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,840 Speaker 1: Like he was actually playing in the games. I was 26 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,560 Speaker 1: really just sitting there on the sideline making sure to 27 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 1: keep the bench warm. So it was a little different 28 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,399 Speaker 1: UM experience. But you know, but you know, proud of 29 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,200 Speaker 1: being a member of that fraternity, if you want to 30 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,120 Speaker 1: think of it like that way. But you know, there's 31 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 1: been a lot of great players, UM, and a lot 32 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 1: a lot of great coaches from those schools. You didn't play. 33 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 1: You said you didn't play much of Yelle, but you 34 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 1: did go to Yale, right, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, no question, 35 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 1: there was this. I was on the team. I tell 36 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:39,200 Speaker 1: people I was on the team. So you know, you 37 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,040 Speaker 1: played it Yale like I was on the team. I 38 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:47,680 Speaker 1: practice that, yell. You went to classes at Yale too, though, yes, yes, yes, yes, okay. 39 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 1: I enjoyed my experience. I enjoyed my experience. Thank you. Yeah, 40 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 1: I'm rotting pack, can you uh? We're talking to Julian 41 00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 1: Loved the other day, and he talked about how he 42 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 1: spent most of his career bouncing and on from position 43 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 1: to position, in this um. A lot of times in 44 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 1: a scheme that's not a good thing. It seems like 45 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 1: that's almost the perfect thing for for some something like 46 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 1: you're trying to run here, How does he fit into this, 47 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 1: into this rotation in this um? I guess, I guess 48 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 1: fluid fluid secondary that you're trying to I think the 49 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:20,800 Speaker 1: thing about love that stands out, you know, just a 50 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,959 Speaker 1: piggybacking off of the previous question. He is a smart 51 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 1: football player on and off the field, uh, in terms 52 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 1: of his awareness with the situations, awareness of personnel the 53 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 1: offense is giving us. So you know, the fact that 54 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: he's able to see that and dissect that, that's been 55 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 1: a good thing for us. Um. The fact that he's 56 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,359 Speaker 1: played multiple positions, you know, whether he's been a corner, 57 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,920 Speaker 1: wherever he's played. I mean that's a positive because it 58 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 1: gives us an opportunity to use his skill sets, whether 59 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 1: it's covering a receiver from coming down or covering receiver 60 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,800 Speaker 1: he's down there, covering the back from depth, or lining 61 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 1: up to cover back. He could use his skill set 62 00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 1: to handle that. And because he has a brother, he 63 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 1: understands the bigger pitch. Because he's playing mobile spots. It 64 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 1: makes it even more in the changeable, if that makes sense. 65 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 1: Thank you. I like your old school. By the way, 66 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 1: Oh thanks thanks. My brother got this for me. Coach. 67 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you about something that Coach Judge 68 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 1: said to us a little while ago. He mentioned he 69 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 1: complimented you for taking Miami's defense last year, building it, 70 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 1: and then by the end of the year it was 71 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 1: it was starting to play really well. And I just 72 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,639 Speaker 1: wanted to go back to that for a second. When 73 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 1: you have, you know, all kinds of holes, all kinds 74 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 1: of questions, just putting it all together, what was the 75 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 1: chief for you, especially since you had so many young 76 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 1: players there like you do now. Um, Well, first off, 77 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 1: any improvement I appreciate to have, any improvement is really 78 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 1: it's the players. And then it was, you know, Coach 79 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 1: Flores's vision. Um, you know, in terms of what he 80 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 1: wanted us to do as a defense and how he 81 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 1: grew over the time the time that was there. But 82 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 1: in terms of what I tried to do as a coach, 83 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 1: I tell him all the time, I'm trying to focus 84 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 1: on their fundamentals, you know, football position, where their eyes, 85 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 1: we're playing with our hands and we're playing with a 86 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 1: good base. I really think that's a majority of what 87 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 1: I'm coaching. And then once you get into the season, 88 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 1: I start to introduce those guys, especially when you're dealing 89 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 1: with young players NFL football, it's it's different. It's just 90 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 1: it's just a different game. It's people base. You have 91 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 1: to know who you're going against. It's not, oh, we're 92 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:25,360 Speaker 1: running the Pat Graham's scheme. It's not. It's not that. 93 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 1: It's about, Okay, who do we have and how can 94 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 1: we take advantage of their weaknesses? Who do they have 95 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 1: that we have to take away? And so as you 96 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,039 Speaker 1: build through the year, you try to introduce that and 97 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 1: teach those guys those aspects. It takes time, to be 98 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 1: honest with it takes time, and you know, once they 99 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,920 Speaker 1: get it, Okay, it doesn't matter. Yeah it's third and seven, 100 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 1: But does it matter what I call it? Does it matter? 101 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,040 Speaker 1: Do we know who they're throwing the ball to? Does 102 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 1: that make sense that I mean? So it takes time 103 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:54,840 Speaker 1: for them to get over the fact. Okay, I'm playing 104 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:56,719 Speaker 1: outside leverage, just a couple of one I'm gonna post 105 00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 1: say blah blah blah blah blah. Then to the point 106 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 1: where it's okay, they're throwing the ball to eighty three, 107 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,280 Speaker 1: we have to take him away. What are my tools 108 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,919 Speaker 1: to do that? So it takes time to build that. 109 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:08,840 Speaker 1: And you know it's not just third down, its early down, 110 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 1: read area, whatever it may be. But it takes some 111 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 1: time to do that. And just like anything, you know, 112 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 1: like when you're teaching and I want to say kids, 113 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,479 Speaker 1: but like their young players and experienced players, they need 114 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 1: to experience that in order for them to grow and 115 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:25,040 Speaker 1: then really be able to utilize their tools because any 116 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 1: they make all the decisions out there on the field, 117 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 1: you know, it's split second decisions. That's why they're that's 118 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 1: why they're the lead of the league. And you know, 119 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 1: you just try to do your best job to get 120 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 1: them ready for those moments. I wanted to ask you 121 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:40,040 Speaker 1: about your two rookie defensive backs. Um seems like he's 122 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,360 Speaker 1: been a pleasant surprise, especially with his ball skills, and 123 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,480 Speaker 1: that's just what you're seeing from Xavier McKinney so far. 124 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:47,920 Speaker 1: With the guys being out there for a whole week 125 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 1: and then with the scrimmage obviously this past Friday, I'll 126 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:53,360 Speaker 1: start both both of the guys. I mean, it's not 127 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:55,159 Speaker 1: just them. We got a bunch of young guys are 128 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,040 Speaker 1: working their tails off. But I mean they come in, 129 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,360 Speaker 1: they go to work. You know, Darnay Darnay is a 130 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 1: they I call him say so, uh Darnay and say, 131 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,480 Speaker 1: they go to work. Um, they come in, they're prepared, 132 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 1: they're ready for meetings. Um. I think they're being really 133 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 1: diligent outside of the building in terms of they're coming 134 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 1: in with the right questions the next day. You know, 135 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,159 Speaker 1: you could tell they've already watched the tape before we 136 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 1: even get to it, because they're being real serious about 137 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 1: their craft. And I mean I appreciate that because a 138 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 1: lot of times it takes a while to learn that. 139 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:27,799 Speaker 1: You know, they didn't have the spring to be around 140 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:29,839 Speaker 1: the vets. So okay, you don't have the spring to 141 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 1: be around the vet So how are you learning that? 142 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:33,840 Speaker 1: Like they're you know, they're kind of catching up right 143 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,039 Speaker 1: now and understanding the work that you have to put 144 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,599 Speaker 1: into it. But I mean it's been it's been a 145 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 1: positive and I mean whether it's a surprise and now 146 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,280 Speaker 1: I can't speak on that. I mean, we wanted these 147 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 1: guys for a reason are scouting department, and you know 148 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,359 Speaker 1: Mr Gelman. They did a great job of idea and 149 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,839 Speaker 1: these guys as people we want on our team, um 150 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:54,720 Speaker 1: through collaboration with the coaching staff. But these guys, they, 151 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:56,840 Speaker 1: I mean, they're they're good kids. They work hard. They 152 00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 1: still got ways to go, you know, ways to go, 153 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 1: and they know that and you know, thankfully, well I 154 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:03,640 Speaker 1: don't know if they'll say thankfully if we remind them. 155 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:05,919 Speaker 1: They got ways to go all the time. So, but 156 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 1: you know, they're working hard and you know, hopefully it 157 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 1: all comes to fruition out there on the field as 158 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 1: we keep going through this thing. Obviously, you guys are 159 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 1: throwing a little bit of a curveball kind of expecting 160 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 1: DeAndre there, especially on the outside. Is there anything about 161 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 1: what you've seen from Darnay that makes you think that 162 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 1: he could kind of thrive in that outside spot? Well, 163 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 1: the NFL. The thing I found out about the NFL. 164 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 1: Every year, every week, every day is different. Yeah, so 165 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 1: you know, you you know, you don't wanna get caught 166 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 1: and guard by surprise or whatever it may be. Every 167 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,120 Speaker 1: day is different. So the guys that are here, those 168 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 1: are the guys were working with and I mean, honestly, 169 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 1: I mean, all these guys are competing for the spots 170 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 1: out there on the field. They're leving spots out there 171 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 1: on the field, any giving down based on the situation, 172 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 1: based on what game and who's available, and those guys 173 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 1: all competing. So I mean to speak specifically about Darnay 174 00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:57,679 Speaker 1: or Zay, and I mean they're all out there competing 175 00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 1: for the spots because I don't know who's gonna be 176 00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 1: out there. We can have four corners out there. We've 177 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 1: got two corners out there, But I mean they're they're 178 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 1: all learning multiple spots, trying to figure out if the 179 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 1: more I can do, the more value I have, the 180 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 1: easier is to make the team, the more value you have, 181 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 1: if that makes sense. When we talk about the pass rush, 182 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 1: I think a big part of it obviously is the 183 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 1: interior part of it as well, which sometimes gets overlooked. Uh, 184 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 1: you don't have a lot of guys there with huge 185 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 1: track records as pass rushers. Maybe Leonard is probably the 186 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 1: only one as a real pass rusher. So I'm wondering, 187 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 1: when you look at your outside guys, do you look 188 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:32,719 Speaker 1: at that as and and and maybe which ones do 189 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 1: you look at us that could potentially help you by 190 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 1: moving and sliding inside on rushing downs. Well, I don't know. 191 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 1: I mean, I think we have guys that can. To me, 192 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 1: when you're talking about the interior of the pass rush, 193 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,319 Speaker 1: whether it's third down, early down, whether it may be, 194 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,080 Speaker 1: you're talking about some push in the middle. As you know, 195 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 1: you're looking for some push because in this league, you 196 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 1: know that we run around the edges all the time. 197 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 1: The quarterbacks gonna step up and make the easier throw 198 00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 1: down in the middle of that. I mean, so we 199 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:01,640 Speaker 1: got to get some push that can be with the 200 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,200 Speaker 1: big guys and be a little smaller guys. Um. I 201 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,719 Speaker 1: think we evaluate the whole roster in terms of that. 202 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 1: But I mean, the more the guys can do, the 203 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 1: better off will be. So do I like to mix 204 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:15,280 Speaker 1: in uh defensive end and the inside, Absolutely, because it's 205 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:18,079 Speaker 1: a different skill set going over there, over a guard, 206 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 1: over a center. Do we like to use a backer 207 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,720 Speaker 1: to maybe be the inside part of the pass rush. 208 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 1: I think, you know, again, the you know, the hardborn 209 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 1: sacks or anything, I just think it's important for them 210 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 1: to understand what we're talking about. With the passwors. We 211 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 1: want to have, you know, contain the quarterback, you know, 212 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,000 Speaker 1: and we want to make sure, we're getting push up 213 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 1: the medal, but we want to really cage that guy 214 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 1: up and then guys win there one on won battles 215 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,200 Speaker 1: and that's how we end up getting some production in 216 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,720 Speaker 1: terms of the sacks, the you know, the QB hits 217 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:44,680 Speaker 1: and things of that nature. But I mean, I like 218 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,079 Speaker 1: to mix it up because each guy, we're gonna try 219 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 1: to highlight each guy's talent. So you know, Pat Graham's 220 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:54,080 Speaker 1: rushing again, my my talent might be better suited for 221 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 1: the guard as opposed to for the tackle. You know, 222 00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 1: if you're better your your your skills might be better 223 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 1: suited for the tackle, so move. You know, it's all 224 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 1: in a changeable in my opinion. Uh, And I think 225 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:07,400 Speaker 1: you know the guys are embracing that heading into Friday night. 226 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,080 Speaker 1: I mean, I know Joe has said he wanted even 227 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,720 Speaker 1: last week in the Interest squad that you and Jason 228 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:17,079 Speaker 1: would kind of go live and you know, script off script, 229 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 1: how much more intensity your urgency do you feel come 230 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,720 Speaker 1: Friday night, knowing you know we're here and you're you're 231 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 1: doing a great job explaining everything, and he keeps saying, 232 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 1: going to take time, It's gonna take time. Also know 233 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 1: that the finish line is coming up. September fourteenth is coming. 234 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 1: How do you feel that urgency of needing to get 235 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 1: this team ready to go on the defensive side of 236 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,880 Speaker 1: the ball, right, wrong or different? I feel that urgency 237 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 1: every day. I wake up in the morning, I'm like, 238 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:47,839 Speaker 1: I don't know, there's enough hours in the day to 239 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 1: get done. Well, I want to get done. So, you know, 240 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 1: we try to plan that out. You know, I think 241 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 1: realistically the goals you say in terms of installation, in 242 00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 1: terms of awareness, you gotta planning that out throughout the year. 243 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 1: You know, you gotta plan out and not saying you know, 244 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:03,679 Speaker 1: we gotta be ready to go for Pittsburgh. There's no question. 245 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,360 Speaker 1: Do I feel an urgency of that. Absolutely, you know, 246 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,880 Speaker 1: less than twenty one days. Here we go and we're 247 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:10,960 Speaker 1: playing We're playing one of the best teams in the 248 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 1: in the world. I mean like, yeah, there's some emergency 249 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 1: with a good quarterback, good backs, good aligned, great head coach. 250 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:18,960 Speaker 1: I mean you're dealing Hey, you're dealing with a lot there. 251 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 1: But you gotta trust the process and the beauty of 252 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,760 Speaker 1: working for Joe, his vision and how he said it 253 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 1: out since he got the job. We know what we 254 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,080 Speaker 1: wanted to look like you know, and we're trying to 255 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 1: build towards that. We want to be a tough team. 256 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 1: We wanted to jump off the film out again. We 257 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 1: got to put in the necessary work over these next 258 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 1: twenty days to make sure that we get there for that. 259 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:43,920 Speaker 1: But like, we know what we want to the head 260 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 1: coach set the vision, we know what it wants to 261 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 1: look like.
