1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,880
Speaker 1: Okay. So on day two of our preparations here with

2
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:06,400
Speaker 1: with Tennessee and we'll be in full pass today outside

3
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:12,039
Speaker 1: and look forward to having a good practice. Normal Wednesday basically. Yeah,

4
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:16,479
Speaker 1: today's normal Wednesday. Yep. So, Um, you know, first and

5
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 1: second down day for the most part, and then get

6
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 1: onto the in the next phase tomorrow. What why are

7
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:25,760
Speaker 1: you outside of grass? You see a lot of things

8
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 1: to come inside. Well, the reason we haven't been outside. Um,

9
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 1: if we were playing in you know, five and sunny,

10
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 1: but there's a sixty chance of rain. So to work

11
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 1: the ball, handling our foot in and Um, you know,

12
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:41,480
Speaker 1: we'll see what we do tomorrow, but I thought for

13
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,159
Speaker 1: at least one day, get out there. Let the quarterbacks

14
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 1: and handle the wet ball at the receivers and the

15
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:49,919
Speaker 1: skill guys, the returners, dbs, keep their feet. Um, that's

16
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 1: the only reason. Why should we expect to see cave

17
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 1: honors Z's and if so, what do we what should

18
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 1: we expect to see from them? Um, yeah, they they'll.

19
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 1: They'll probably be out there. Um, we'll see. We'll just

20
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: keep rehabing them, but they'll be out there. I think

21
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 1: today working on see if we're happening on the side

22
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 1: of the trainer and then, AH, now they'll probably do

23
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 1: a few things individually with coaches. I'm sorry. Any better

24
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: sense of their availability for Sunday? Nope, I'm looking forward

25
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 1: to the game. Brian. How unique is Derrick Henry? Very? UH, he's.

26
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 1: I mean it's well documented what he's done so far.

27
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 1: He's he's just a really good football player. I know

28
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: him as a person to haven't mettled down a few

29
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: times in Alabama. Got A ton of respect for him

30
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 1: and as a man and and and certainly as a player.

31
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 1: He's UH, he's one heck of a player. You name it,

32
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: he can do it. For the amount of work. Your

33
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,919
Speaker 1: offensive line side together was kind of mismatch all preseason.

34
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: Are you comfortable going in and he's and you know,

35
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: you really haven't named left car, but it's to use.

36
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: That's hey work in progress and be a competition. No,

37
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: I'm comfortable with the with the players they've they've been

38
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 1: working hard. Everybody that we would put out there I'm

39
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: comfortable with. That's why they're on the team. Um, I'd

40
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: say that you're never comfortable going into a game. Ever,

41
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 1: you're always trying to cross your t's and dot your

42
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 1: eyes and they have a very good defensive front and

43
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,959
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to play really well with a guy

44
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: like Henry. Is there a way to slow him down?

45
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, if he's not at the game, you know.

46
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: I mean we're gonna have to have all hands on

47
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: deck and do the best job. We kind of run

48
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 1: into the football and gang tackling and you even see

49
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: him on players. You might have three or four guys

50
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 1: on him and somehow he sports through. He's just a

51
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 1: unique player. He's he's just he's very, very good. I

52
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 1: realized you're just focusing on the opponent that you're facing Sunday,

53
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: but in some ways this week is a twenty five

54
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: year in the making process for what are your emotions

55
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 1: as you're going to be a head coach for the

56
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:04,919
Speaker 1: first time? And Yeah, I'm just trying to I'm trying

57
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,080
Speaker 1: to do the best I can to help the players

58
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 1: out in terms of their preparation, practice schedule. Really not

59
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 1: focus on on that. Um, I'd be lying to say

60
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,359
Speaker 1: if you I'm not honored again to be standing up here,

61
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 1: but my focus is on the game and the players. Um,

62
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: there'll be a time and place for that. You know.

63
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: I just I want to do everything I can to

64
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: get ready for this game. Every team, you usually do

65
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: on Game Day. Will you pivotal weight, if any way,

66
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 1: from that, because this is your first opportunity and getting

67
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 1: a chance to coach? No, I think those three preseason games.

68
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: I know it's at you know, different time for but no,

69
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: it's it's been pretty consistent. Maybe a little bit different

70
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: than when I was a coordinator, but consistent on these

71
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 1: last three preseason games. Yes, well, when you're calling plays,

72
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: there's Um, it's just a different mindset when you're when

73
00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: you're calling to play and you have your call sheet,

74
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: you're going through tons of different play calls. I'm going

75
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 1: through tons of different situations and time outs and challenges

76
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: and when to go for it on fourth down and

77
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: just reviewing the stuff that that I have to do

78
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: a good job of before the game. And, Um, you know,

79
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,479
Speaker 1: the difference when you're calling plays is there's a thousand

80
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: things going through your head, uh, the night before and

81
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 1: usually during during the game. Um. So it's just it's

82
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,919
Speaker 1: different things. How much you're still going to be involved

83
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 1: in that? How much is still going to be involved

84
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 1: in the play calling that? which what do you anticipate

85
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 1: your yeah, well, my job is to know all the

86
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 1: the offense, the defense and the kicking game and and

87
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: go through with the coaches before the game starts. Obviously

88
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 1: there's adjustments that need to be made and decisions that

89
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 1: have to happen quick when you're a play caller. But

90
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 1: you know, I certainly have input on on all three

91
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 1: of those areas Um but you try to do that

92
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: work Jordan, before the game the best you can so

93
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 1: that the play callers have not a lot of people

94
00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 1: in their ear. They can get it out quick to

95
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,599
Speaker 1: the quarterback or two X and you know those guys

96
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:04,839
Speaker 1: can have as much time as they can to process

97
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: the call. Much suggesting you're gonna you plan to give

98
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,159
Speaker 1: in that regard, because you've been a play call you

99
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 1: said you don't want to hear too many people in

100
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:15,919
Speaker 1: the years. So where's the line for you to okay,

101
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 1: I'll give suggestions to Mike, but I also I don't

102
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: want to be too yes. So we again we try

103
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 1: to map it out the best we can prior to

104
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: the game and then in between series, you know I'll

105
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 1: talk with all three of the coordinators about things that

106
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:31,280
Speaker 1: come up. But during the series, when you're calling a play,

107
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,599
Speaker 1: you don't have much time to think and the more

108
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:38,279
Speaker 1: you hear, I'd say, as a play caller, the harder

109
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: it is. So, you know, again we've practiced it throughout

110
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 1: preseason games. Um, I think Mike needs a clear head.

111
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 1: Wink needs clear head. You know, team Mac and in

112
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 1: a different regard. Um. So I try to again get

113
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:55,280
Speaker 1: my suggestions in between series or you know, when you're

114
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: planning for a game and everything changes. I think there's

115
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: good dialogue. You know. Is it are not to interrupt

116
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: at times? Yeah, certainly it is. I have so much

117
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,919
Speaker 1: on my play right now I'm just focused on you know,

118
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,160
Speaker 1: I love to calling place. Yeah, but I think Mike

119
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: has done a good job. I had a lot of

120
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: faith in him, like we talked about yesterday, and I

121
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 1: think he's got good rapport with Daniel. You know, that's

122
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: the voice than Daniel has been here in the last

123
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 1: preseason games and every practice and I've been pleased with

124
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: with Mike and Really the entire offensive coaching staff. Brian,

125
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 1: what what kind of camp did it dorry Jackson have

126
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:36,039
Speaker 1: and can you see him embracing the number one cornerback

127
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: role that he's never really had to have in his career.

128
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,719
Speaker 1: He's been out there, he's been dependable, he's been he's

129
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:44,719
Speaker 1: made a lot of plays on the ball Um, he

130
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 1: knows our defense, he's a good communicator and he was

131
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:51,280
Speaker 1: another guy that you know corners. You know you're kind

132
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 1: of out there on an island a lot of times

133
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 1: and I think his teammates really respect him and he's

134
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 1: done a good job. Your experience when a guy is

135
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 1: facing a team that gave up on him cut him

136
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,359
Speaker 1: like the titans did with the Dory, are their extra

137
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: emotions for that player? I don't know. I think you'd

138
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: have to ask him. I think it's probably different for everybody.

139
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 1: It's it's kind of the norm in this league for

140
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 1: coaches and for a lot of different players that you

141
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 1: know people on the other side or you've been there

142
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 1: before and you know. I don't think you you know.

143
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 1: I certainly don't think about it when I'm going against

144
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 1: other teams that I've coached for. But that's probably a

145
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 1: good question for a dory. Ryan, do you see a

146
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 1: difference in your players this week? I mean it's your

147
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: plan for keeps now that they have like game face

148
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 1: on and edge to them and anxiousness. No, they've been

149
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: pretty consistent. I mean we've tried to put as much

150
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 1: stress on him as we can this spring and then

151
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 1: obviously in the summer with a wide variety of things.

152
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 1: And you know, we preach consistency and dependability and I

153
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 1: think those guys have done this. I'm sure you know.

154
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 1: For again, I don't want to speak for all the guys.

155
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's a heightened sense a little bit because

156
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: it is a regular season, but you know, you try

157
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: to preach that and teach that before it gets this point.

158
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 1: So it feels like normal Um, but certainly the opening

159
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 1: day is a very exciting day for for all of us.

160
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 1: What do you think? What do you think? Because what

161
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 1: do you think having a game plan, a smaller menu

162
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: will do for Daniel Uh, you know, on on on Sunday,

163
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 1: as opposed to what we've seen from him playing either

164
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 1: for the Vanilla in the preseason or or, you know,

165
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: in practices with the whole playbook? Well, I'M NOT gonna

166
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 1: make I'm not gonna make a prediction, but I just

167
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 1: say you have more time to to really study the

168
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 1: things that you're gonna do in a game. You're focusing

169
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 1: on you know certain players. Um, you know it's it's

170
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 1: a lot more detailed in terms of what you're trying

171
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 1: to get accomplished. But Daniels, since I've been around him,

172
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 1: I think he's got the right approach really every week. Um.

173
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: Certainly weren't game planning in the preseason, but the way

174
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 1: he approached things I've been impressed with. You you surprise

175
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,079
Speaker 1: at all at at his input? Not The level of input,

176
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,199
Speaker 1: but was there any? And I'll expect you to give

177
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 1: us the place specifically, but were the things that he

178
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 1: said he liked or didn't like that you for for

179
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 1: this week or just in general? Yeah, I think there's

180
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 1: constant communication on that. Um. You know, he comes up

181
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 1: when people leave and he goes through things with Mike

182
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 1: and Shay or he'll tell me something and again you

183
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 1: want to have the quarterback feel as comfortable as he

184
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 1: can and you also want to tell him some of

185
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 1: the reasons why you're doing things you want to try

186
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 1: to do against the opponent you're going against. But he's

187
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,719
Speaker 1: had really good dialogue with us. Um. I think he's

188
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:35,679
Speaker 1: in a good spot. What is it like about him

189
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 1: today that maybe you didn't know when he took the job. Daniel. Yeah,

190
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 1: just I've heard he was a hard worker. I get

191
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,719
Speaker 1: to see it. He he is extremely hard. He's here

192
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 1: all the time, but he's yeah, he's more on the

193
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 1: quiet side, but he is ultra, ultra competitive and he

194
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 1: does a really good job in the huddle with his teammates.

195
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 1: When you just step out and listen to him, Um,

196
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 1: I think he's a good leader. Talk to him about,

197
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 1: you know, the balance between, you know, trying to get

198
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 1: extra yards, putting your head down or, you know, risking

199
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 1: himself because, I mean in the past he's not trying

200
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 1: to put his head into a linebacker and try and

201
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 1: run him over, which in this league is a difficult

202
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:21,959
Speaker 1: way to live. Um. Yeah, I think you always try

203
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 1: to be smart, Um, particularly with that position. I'm not

204
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 1: going to take his competitiveness away from him. I think

205
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 1: that's what what makes people good to Um, but you

206
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 1: gotta make executive decisions sometimes and you know, obviously we'd

207
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 1: like to have him get down rather than take a

208
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,719
Speaker 1: big shot, but Um, you know, that's the nature of

209
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 1: of playing quarterback, making good decisions, whether it's with the

210
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 1: ball and you're running or where you're throwing the ball.

211
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 1: Probably what starter is in left guard and wakes old

212
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 1: spot will be. And you don't want to say that

213
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 1: yetn't worry, you're still trying to determine what I started

214
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:02,679
Speaker 1: a little bit. I have an idea. But yeah, WE'RE

215
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 1: gonna go out here and practice and let a few

216
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 1: guys here compete at it and then, you know, a

217
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 1: game time. But we should be ready to go. What

218
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:16,679
Speaker 1: was it? What was it like? Coaching like? Yeah, I

219
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 1: was on the defensive side. I was A, you know,

220
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: defensive assistant. You see, it's not surprising where he is

221
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,959
Speaker 1: how smart he was as a player. He was extremely smart,

222
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:31,679
Speaker 1: extremely dependable, extremely tough. Um, he kind of was one

223
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 1: step ahead of everybody. You know, he kind of knew.

224
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:38,839
Speaker 1: He knew what the offense was doing quite a bit. Um,

225
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 1: a great a great leader. You know, he played on

226
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 1: offense here and caught a bunch of touchdowns at tight end.

227
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:49,199
Speaker 1: I can't I mean I'm not surprised what he's done.

228
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 1: You know, he's had four winning seasons. He was a

229
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 1: great teammate, he was a fun guy to coach. He

230
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 1: was elite. I mean, I can't say enough good things

231
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: about him. He was he was impressive Umi years ago,

232
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 1: whatever it was. I mean it goes buying a split

233
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 1: second and obviously he's done a great job here. You know,

234
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: last three years playoffs, a F C number one seed

235
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 1: last year. Not a bit surprise in any way. More

236
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,959
Speaker 1: in any way, do you consider this a barometer to

237
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 1: see where your team is at, going up against the

238
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 1: number one seed and testing your skills off the bat? Now,

239
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 1: every year is a new year. We're just gonna try

240
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,599
Speaker 1: to do the best job we can of preparing. Um,

241
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,960
Speaker 1: we understand the difficult challenges that this team presents, both

242
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:34,199
Speaker 1: schematically and, in particular, with the players, and go out

243

Speaker 1: there and do our best job we can do on Sunday, Brian,

245
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 1: when you say come along and see my first game? Um,

246
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 1: I don't really give too many instructions at home. I
