Yeah, limited, 2 00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:13,000 Speaker 1: No people practice day us to be limited. Jenny, he's 3 00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:17,200 Speaker 1: got any answer for this week? Mm hmm. I'm not 4 00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:22,800 Speaker 1: sure it's more optimistic than previous Wednesdays. Yeah, I'd probably 5 00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:31,720 Speaker 1: say not as optimistic, but getting there were Oh, that's okay. 6 00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:36,760 Speaker 1: So they asked about a Dory, so he'll be he'll 7 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:40,400 Speaker 1: be doing some stuff, would be limited and disease. He'll 8 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:44,000 Speaker 1: be in the same boat. Asked about McKinney. He won't 9 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 1: do anything today. Um, Dexter will have a VET day 10 00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:52,880 Speaker 1: like he's normally had the last few weeks. Leo will 11 00:00:52,880 --> 00:01:00,080 Speaker 1: be limited, so everybody should be practicing. Besides Dexter. And 12 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 1: you say he's getting there, is where's the a club? 13 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 1: I'm just saying that when he comes back and you 14 00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 1: have to wear a club regrdless or is there potentially 15 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:11,040 Speaker 1: you can play with that one. I would assume he 16 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:15,600 Speaker 1: would have to work a club. It sounds like you'll, 17 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,120 Speaker 1: I know there's only two games list, but are you 18 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,640 Speaker 1: talking about X Yeah, like, is he gonna return this 19 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,560 Speaker 1: season or just PD on that we'll see. Yeah, A 20 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:28,119 Speaker 1: lot of it depends on well yeah, let's just we'll see. 21 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,839 Speaker 1: I think he's making progress. You said you're gonna watch 22 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 1: the Colts and obviously always do that. What were your 23 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:38,119 Speaker 1: thoughts watching them Monday night? And obviously wasn't a very 24 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,400 Speaker 1: good game for them. What do you There's a few 25 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,199 Speaker 1: plays here there that could have been a lot different. 26 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 1: I think their defense has been playing really well. You know, 27 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,440 Speaker 1: the quarterbacks. Really his first game coming back, so I think, 28 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 1: you know, there were some chances there to be had. 29 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 1: No defense just played well all season. The last six games, 30 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 1: they've been up at the end of the third quarter. Um, 31 00:01:57,720 --> 00:01:59,640 Speaker 1: they're only down by two to Dallas twenty one, a 32 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 1: nine team. UM miss the NFL, every team is good 33 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 1: with the left guard rotations. That's something you want to 34 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 1: continue or do you want to settle on one guy there? 35 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 1: But I think they're both. I think they're both doing 36 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 1: a good job. So we'll see how it goes this week. 37 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 1: UM could be the same. Um. I think both of 38 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,079 Speaker 1: them have done a good job. You know, the things 39 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 1: we asked them to do. That is like those guys 40 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,639 Speaker 1: who left guard. I couldn't move now to probably be 41 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 1: those two guys that left guard or want them right, Yeah, 42 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,679 Speaker 1: it'll probably be similar to what we've been doing. That 43 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 1: strain is not the word on Andrew's used to this Andrew, Um, 44 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 1: you know it left tackle. Is that he's fine that 45 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 1: you know? Is that more for him, less than him 46 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 1: or at this point you're relevant? Yeah, you know he's 47 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,079 Speaker 1: played against played with both these guys. I think he's 48 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,240 Speaker 1: got comfortable. He's comfortable with really those two guys next 49 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 1: to him. Are you excited for your guys to have 50 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 1: this opportunity this weekend considering what's on the line for them, 51 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,799 Speaker 1: Excited to play another game? Yeah, that's that's what we're 52 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 1: excited about. Um, you know they work hard. Um, it's 53 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 1: an important game for us. You know it's decided to 54 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:12,640 Speaker 1: play the Colts. What about personally me? What about for you? 55 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 1: The same as it is every week? Yeah, get ready 56 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:17,679 Speaker 1: to play a good team and try to do the 57 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,079 Speaker 1: best we can. Throughout your career, you've been in a 58 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,800 Speaker 1: lot of big games. How much do you believe in 59 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 1: the fact the pressure and big games being something that 60 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 1: has players and coaches you have to deal with? It 61 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 1: says there's pressure every week in this league. There's only 62 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 1: seventeen games. You gotta play well each week, do everything 63 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 1: you can do to win and get ready to play 64 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 1: the next week. It's it's competitive in the super Bowl though, 65 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 1: and like the playoffs, like we're playing the Colts this week. 66 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 1: I mean, I was asking you're a general question. You 67 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 1: said every game every week, every game is the same, 68 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 1: it is. I mean, if you don't, if you don't, 69 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 1: you got to do the things you need to do 70 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 1: to win each game. I know there's what's this? What's this? 71 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 1: I mean the way I was raising this business in 72 00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 1: terms of getting ready to play games, doing the things 73 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: need to do each week. Prepare the right way, practice 74 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 1: the right way. I know it's a born answer, but 75 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 1: that's the truth. Um. I think you get too far 76 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 1: ahead of yourself and anything. Each game is important. Um 77 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 1: and as you get going throughout the season, if you're 78 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 1: lucky enough to keep going, you know they're one game 79 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,360 Speaker 1: seasons then so you know, our focus is on this 80 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 1: game and we're gonna have to do a good job. 81 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 1: Your your team has studied Nick Foles from what he 82 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,040 Speaker 1: just did last week. UM yeah, I mean he's played 83 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 1: you know, he's one game this year, He's had one 84 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:30,839 Speaker 1: game last year in Chicago. I think he had seven 85 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 1: games or somewhere around the seven games and twenty. They 86 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: had four games before that at Jacksonville. So you go 87 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,159 Speaker 1: back and you know, just like you're preparing against anybody, 88 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 1: you try to watch the tape and you know, look 89 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 1: at their strengths and weaknesses. You you, I mean, it 90 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 1: will there be some kind of a selling job just 91 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,480 Speaker 1: because he's coming off the game which he looks like 92 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,359 Speaker 1: he hadn't played in a long time. And you know 93 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 1: they say, well, let's you know, is that him or 94 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 1: is that not him? You know kind of you know 95 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,279 Speaker 1: there's more they understand. I'll just say, everybody's good in 96 00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 1: this league. You gotta prepare for everybody's best. You gotta 97 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 1: play your best. Every game is tough in this league. 98 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,600 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter about records or every game is tough. 99 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 1: Every player in this league is good, every coaching staff 100 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,840 Speaker 1: is good, and really the only thing that matters is 101 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 1: how you play on Sunday or Saturday or Monday. Um, 102 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:17,720 Speaker 1: you know, you got to do the things you need 103 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 1: to do to win a game. Now, up until now, 104 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,240 Speaker 1: you know, there have been scenarios where you could make 105 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 1: the playoffs. This one's a really straightforward one. So how 106 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 1: do you expect your team to respond knowing when and 107 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 1: you truly are in the same way we've been doing 108 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 1: it all your kim, just do the things we need 109 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 1: to do to try to win a game. UM, and 110 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 1: focus on that week. That's what's hard to do in 111 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:43,840 Speaker 1: this league. There's a lot of other things going on. 112 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 1: And I understand all the questions, but it is really 113 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,039 Speaker 1: truly living that moment. Control the things you can control, 114 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 1: and you know each day, have a good day, and 115 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 1: then ultimately go out there on Sunday and play and 116 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,600 Speaker 1: coach a good game. Do you think it's it's important 117 00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 1: for a team to take on the personality with that 118 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 1: coach or or does the head coach have to be 119 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:05,039 Speaker 1: flexible enough to take on to be the personality that 120 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:09,159 Speaker 1: the team needs. No. I want everybody to be themselves. 121 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 1: You know, all our guys to come in here, be 122 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,919 Speaker 1: the best version of themselves. UM, come in and compete. 123 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 1: I think we have a good group of people in 124 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,920 Speaker 1: our building that work extremely hard. UM. I certainly don't 125 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 1: want anybody just to be like me or me to 126 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 1: be like anybody else. I just I want them to 127 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:28,160 Speaker 1: be yourselves. You kind of take it back a little bit. 128 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 1: What do you remember about your first playoff appearance as 129 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 1: a coach and assistant coach by back on taking me 130 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:41,280 Speaker 1: back a long time the Patriots. Yeah, was it the 131 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,720 Speaker 1: Raiders game? I'm not your actually games? Was it the 132 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 1: Raiders game? Um? I remember Vinitary kicking the most unbelievable 133 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:53,479 Speaker 1: kick I've ever seen. I remember Brady's biking a ball 134 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 1: and falling on the ground. Remember David Patton got rest 135 00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 1: his soul, having a good game. Jermaine Wiggins big fourth 136 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 1: in one stop we went goal on defense against the Raiders. Um, huge, huge, 137 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 1: Playing the game. Um, I remember getting to overtime and 138 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 1: watching Lonnie Paxson doing a snow angel. But I think 139 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 1: that's well documented with all those even scenarios. UM. No, No, 140 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 1: you obviously I remember a lot. Um. It was a 141 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 1: good game. The emotions that you had at that point, 142 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 1: being your first game, I guess is that similar. What 143 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 1: did you learn from that experience kind of carry you through? Um? 144 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 1: I don't know. That's a good question. I don't. I 145 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 1: just remember how to stay up late and break down 146 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 1: more tape and get ready for the next week. Do 147 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 1: you ever take what happened? No, that's what I'm thinking. 148 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 1: Trying to there was a lot of work, and I 149 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 1: was at a different spot and breaking down a lot 150 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 1: of tape. I think we were going to play Pittsburgh. 151 00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 1: Maybe you were rooting for him, so I know what 152 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 1: was a Pittsburgh Okay, I got you, I got you. Yeah, 153 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 1: they're all, They're all. They're all he did in that 154 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 1: game through a touchdown to pattent on Cafe. Um. Yeah, 155 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 1: I've been on a lot of unfortunately been part of 156 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 1: some good teams. I've also been in seasons where you know, 157 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 1: I'm three and twelve at this point and we're competing 158 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 1: our butts off to to go out there and win 159 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 1: a game. So I think a lot of the experiences 160 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 1: that I've had, both good and bad, have helped um. 161 00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:32,560 Speaker 1: But really within that matters this week is playing a 162 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 1: good game ever played between the Giants in the NFL 163 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:52,560 Speaker 1: with this matchup this week? Obviously? Yeah? No, Um, what's born? 164 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:54,440 Speaker 1: We do the same thing we do each week, you know, 165 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 1: go through the same things we need to go through 166 00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,320 Speaker 1: in a team meeting and defense and offense and kicking 167 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 1: game and um, just try to be as consistent as 168 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 1: we can. Why do you think you've been so inconsistent? 169 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 1: Special team, But how much do you need to ensure 170 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 1: up that area? Yeah, no, that was a that was 171 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,960 Speaker 1: a big play obviously last week. Um, I think we've 172 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,320 Speaker 1: done some good things and I think really just like 173 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 1: offensive defense, there's things we need to improve on. And 174 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:19,959 Speaker 1: you know, we're gonna need to have a good game 175 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,679 Speaker 1: this week. This is a really good unit. Um, Bubba 176 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:24,719 Speaker 1: does a great job with these guys, and it will 177 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 1: be a challenge probably. I don't think we'll see about 178 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 1: cham Lemu shame Lemu will go on. I R. Did 179 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,079 Speaker 1: you ever think before the season you might be in 180 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,319 Speaker 1: this type of position with this Wall club this late 181 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:40,199 Speaker 1: in year to think about it. Um, you know, we 182 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,960 Speaker 1: just try to win the week, and you know, unfortunately 183 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:44,559 Speaker 1: we're here and we're gonna have to make the most 184 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 1: of it. Brian, and we've talked to you all season 185 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:51,079 Speaker 1: about quarterback play things that you like to see. How 186 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 1: important is it for a quarterback to be able to 187 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 1: make plays downfield out of the pocket kind of off 188 00:09:56,559 --> 00:10:01,679 Speaker 1: platform in today's NFL. I think he's evolved, you know 189 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 1: since the time I've been in the league. But you know, 190 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 1: when you have quarterbacks that can move and extend plays, 191 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 1: you have to defend the first play, as we say, 192 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 1: and then defend the next play, which is you know, 193 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,079 Speaker 1: if you're holding it longer, there's a risk for a 194 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,200 Speaker 1: negative play. There's also a risk for a big play 195 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 1: down the field or you know, a scrambled play. So, um, 196 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:25,079 Speaker 1: you know, the game is a little bit different, I 197 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 1: would say with because some of the things that people 198 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 1: are doing. But the the quarterbacks that you know that 199 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:35,040 Speaker 1: can move extend plays, the defense has to play defense 200 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 1: a little bit longer. I mean, you've had a couple 201 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 1: of those plays with with Daniel and Hodgens the last 202 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,439 Speaker 1: couple of weeks where it's not just making plays for 203 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,559 Speaker 1: first down, it's making plays for touchdowns. That growth in 204 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,400 Speaker 1: Daniel's game that you've seen, I would imagine you credit 205 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 1: the guys that are working with him and as well. Yeah, 206 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 1: I'd start with him. You know he's Um, I think 207 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:56,080 Speaker 1: he's improved in that area. UM, I think Shay works 208 00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:57,720 Speaker 1: with him. You know, a bunch of that. I think 209 00:10:57,760 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 1: we practice it. You know, we do it at the 210 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:02,080 Speaker 1: start a practice, to do it in the middle of practice. Um, 211 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 1: but you know, ultimately the credit goes to DJ. How 212 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:10,760 Speaker 1: much was that something you saw beforehand? And decided said 213 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:12,840 Speaker 1: that this is an area that needs to be improved 214 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 1: with With DJ, I just I'd say when we got here, 215 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 1: just seeing him, you know, and and working through drills 216 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:23,679 Speaker 1: and watching him practice. Obviously I've seen him before. He's athletics, 217 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:28,439 Speaker 1: so I think, you know, with what we've done in 218 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,040 Speaker 1: the past, um say, the last few years, I've had 219 00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 1: guys that can really move around and make loose plays 220 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 1: and you know, run the ball some and run different 221 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 1: r p O s where he can lose his legs 222 00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:40,719 Speaker 1: and then do drills that help him, you know. But 223 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 1: it's also the skill guys. You gotta teach those guys. 224 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 1: You know. There's I think there's an art to the 225 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 1: scramble drill, and you know, certainly when you have players 226 00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,439 Speaker 1: that a quarterback feels comfortable with where they're gonna be, 227 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:56,599 Speaker 1: you know, you can work on it every day and 228 00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:58,839 Speaker 1: practice until you get it into the game. I think 229 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:00,719 Speaker 1: he's improved, but I think the guys around him and 230 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 1: helped him too. You've talked about all season how contetitive 231 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:08,720 Speaker 1: the league is. Do you ever look around and say, 232 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 1: any team, look what happens to Detroit list we came 233 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 1: the hottest team in the league. They go down to 234 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 1: Carolina and yeah, well it's week to week in this league. 235 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 1: We know all we all know that. So I think 236 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 1: the biggest thing we can do is control the things 237 00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 1: we can control. Every week is a big week. Every 238 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 1: team you play is a good team, and if you 239 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:32,199 Speaker 1: play well that particular week, you give yourself a chance. 240 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 1: If you don't play well, it's it's really hard to win. 241 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:38,599 Speaker 1: And you know, big things like turnovers and things that 242 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 1: really cause you to put yourself in a bind or 243 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,640 Speaker 1: getting them on defense, those things help playing well in 244 00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:45,440 Speaker 1: the red zone. I mean, all the things that help 245 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 1: you win week one or two thousand and one or whatever. 246 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 1: It is like those really that's that's football. It's it's 247 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:54,959 Speaker 1: changed in some of the respects of spread out and 248 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:57,720 Speaker 1: mobile quarterbacks and things like that, but the big things 249 00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,520 Speaker 1: that help you win are are pretty much same things 250 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:05,560 Speaker 1: that helped team win for a long time. Parts week 251 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:07,720 Speaker 1: to week, it seems like you've got, you know, new 252 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 1: guys in the lineup, new guys coming in and out. 253 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,200 Speaker 1: What for you has been the key to being successful, 254 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,559 Speaker 1: so many moving parts on a weekly basis, Well, I 255 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,079 Speaker 1: just you give credit to the players that come in 256 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,240 Speaker 1: and our next man up. You give credit to the 257 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 1: coaches that work with them. There's no excuses in this league. 258 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,400 Speaker 1: There's just you know, whoever you have, whoever you're playing, 259 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,040 Speaker 1: get ready to play them. Get the guys in there, 260 00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:32,000 Speaker 1: get them ready to play. They're on the team for 261 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:34,760 Speaker 1: a reason. Maybe they're not a starter right away, but 262 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,400 Speaker 1: you know guys that you're doing walk through with that 263 00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:39,600 Speaker 1: are on the practice squad, you get those guys ready 264 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,559 Speaker 1: as well. Um. And then once they're ready to play 265 00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:44,560 Speaker 1: and you put them in there and you let them play. Um, 266 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 1: And everybody needs a shot, you know. Sometimes you're not 267 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 1: just handed to the job. So guys that are down 268 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 1: the line and the second string or playing special teams, 269 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:58,720 Speaker 1: sometimes all you need is an opportunity. Could a director 270 00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 1: from the wife family correct? Could a guy like Evan 271 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:06,160 Speaker 1: Neal benefit from taking a step back or is it 272 00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:09,280 Speaker 1: better for a young guy like him to step back? 273 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:11,079 Speaker 1: What do you mean much step back? Like if he 274 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 1: has a tough game, to sit him down and let 275 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 1: him watching for a little person, it's like letting him 276 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 1: quite through. No. I think when you're a rookie, no 277 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:23,760 Speaker 1: matter what it is, you learn from every experience. Veterans 278 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,920 Speaker 1: do I certainly do. But you know, some of my 279 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 1: biggest growth moments for me, Um is when I failed 280 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 1: or when I didn't do as well. I think he's 281 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,640 Speaker 1: made steady progress. Are there certain places you'd like to 282 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 1: have back? Shut? Everybody has him. You know, you have 283 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,000 Speaker 1: him as a head coach, at him as a play caller, 284 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,720 Speaker 1: you have him as a player. But you know he's 285 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 1: a smart, tough, dependable guy. I think he's improved in 286 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 1: a lot of areas and I'm happy he's on our team. 287 00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 1: What do you what do you want from your quarterback 288 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:57,000 Speaker 1: who's had so much scrutiny um and obviously has faced 289 00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 1: doubters up until maybe this season, Um, and maybe including 290 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 1: this season. What do you want him to kind of 291 00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 1: relish and embrace about the opportunity that is before this 292 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 1: entire team On Sunday afternoon, I just wanted to get 293 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,080 Speaker 1: ready to play the Colts. You do what he's been doing. 294 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 1: Prepare heart, go out there and make good decisions. Take 295 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,440 Speaker 1: care of the football, Um, throw the ball where he's 296 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:22,120 Speaker 1: supposed to throw it, Use his legs if he needs 297 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:25,200 Speaker 1: to use his legs. You know, again, you just live 298 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 1: in the moment of getting ready to play a team, 299 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 1: and you know each week you have to try to 300 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 1: play your best, and if you don't, you know it's 301 00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:32,880 Speaker 1: usually not the outcome you want.
