1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: What happened with Genius yesterday? Anything you can tell us, No,

2
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:06,840
Speaker 1: it's just a family issue. Just he's you know, he's

3
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:10,320
Speaker 1: just giving space on it. He's fine. Generis is fine,

4
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:13,680
Speaker 1: expecting to play. Yeah, he was out here today and

5
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 1: ready to go. With the snaps between Carter and Barwin,

6
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:25,080
Speaker 1: it looked like you used Carter mostly on passing downs.

7
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 1: Is that sort of No, it's not how we view it.

8
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 1: Will probably be able to use both players on first, second,

9
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:38,239
Speaker 1: third down. Yeah, what what made the distribution the way

10
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 1: it was? What were you how do you get It's

11
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:41,920
Speaker 1: just the way it worked out. But we feel like

12
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,199
Speaker 1: they can both players can play on first, second, and

13
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 1: third down. Are your coach that changes much week to

14
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 1: week or a kind of you know what you do

15
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 1: you do? Or well, I think we game plan for

16
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 1: our opponent, and we try to put our players in

17
00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 1: the best position to beat the get teams are playing.

18
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 1: You know, this week's defense is different than last week,

19
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 1: so there'll be a few things we do differently. But

20
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 1: you talk a lot about the team's energy to what

21
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: you want to see. Do you see the requisite energy

22
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,119
Speaker 1: going into this game from your team in practice? Once

23
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:18,680
Speaker 1: requisit me require yeah, yeah, No, it was good. Yeah,

24
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 1: the energy was good and they practiced well, and um, yeah,

25
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,839
Speaker 1: I thought it was good this week. That's a big word.

26
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 1: Fires said something like that. My wife is they don't

27
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: ever say that Thatcher said that he does, at least

28
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,319
Speaker 1: from the Wednesday practice. He saw the defensive it was

29
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 1: better than the week before. And maybe those comparisons, Yeah,

30
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 1: those comparisons can be made, certainly early in the year,

31
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 1: you know, last the last the first preparation week. You know,

32
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 1: everybody's going through that the first time. And so I

33
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: noticed incremental differences to the good um this second week.

34
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: So I felt like wednes Day's practice was better then

35
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: last Wednesday. I felt like Thursday's practice was better, and

36
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: then I actually felt like today's practice was better than

37
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: last Friday. So that's what you're trying to get. Um,

38
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: when I talk about improvement from a team, you have

39
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 1: to practice this game and if you're fortunate to stay healthy,

40
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: those are the improvements you look for and hopefully it

41
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,799
Speaker 1: translates into a better play on Sunday. Is there any

42
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:27,799
Speaker 1: long term concern about Ouivie or do you think we think, well,

43
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 1: we're hopefully back soon and and so we'll see you know,

44
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: he did more this week and he got closer and um,

45
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,399
Speaker 1: you know, we haven't seen any setbacks in any way,

46
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: so we're you know, we'll be hopeful for next week.

47
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,399
Speaker 1: When you go into a game. How much halftime adjustment

48
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: team make? Course it just a week here and there,

49
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 1: here we go. Well, now, I think halftime, you know,

50
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 1: along the way you're making adjustments, and so that's why

51
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: we were headsets. So as things happen, you adjust, and

52
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:58,839
Speaker 1: then certainly when you go in and halftime, you talk

53
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 1: about the adjust that you've been making, and you know,

54
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 1: you get the players ready to go for the second half.

55
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 1: You know there's a thing or two that you keep

56
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: for the second half, and every game, every team does that. Um,

57
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:12,679
Speaker 1: and it looks a little bit new or different, but

58
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: you know, for the most part, and that's why, you know,

59
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,839
Speaker 1: I kind of say halftime adjustments tongue in cheek. It's

60
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: that you're just in constantly and I think that's yeah,

61
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: that's my view of it. I guess do you think

62
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 1: the players get more comfortable or get used to the

63
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 1: amount of adjustments you're gonna make in a game? I'm

64
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: going to move on and that's part of working together.

65
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: The longer you work together, the more comfortable everybody is

66
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: with the little changes that happened during the game. That's

67
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 1: a good question. Michael Thomas in a slot Nickel more

68
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,119
Speaker 1: in the first game than I thought you did during

69
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: the preseason games, because he's better against the run in

70
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: run defense. No, it's just the way it played out

71
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: by how they lined up, you know, he he actually

72
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: did a good job. So you know, again we're gonna

73
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: use the players that are up to the best of there,

74
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: you know, use to use their strengths, and that's one

75
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 1: of his strengths to play low. How do you approach

76
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: the primetime game with the handling of players, you do

77
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: anything different or how do you know there's broadcast and

78
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: then the game breaks out. I mean, that's that's about

79
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,279
Speaker 1: the way it wait it work. You don't practice at

80
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,720
Speaker 1: a certain time because you wanted to kind of be

81
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: ready for the game. So do you know that's a

82
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,280
Speaker 1: general about there. Don't worry about that. And when you

83
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: start playing night games, you just you know, you spend

84
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: time on the day of the game, certainly, um move

85
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 1: them around, walk through those types of things. So really

86
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:37,359
Speaker 1: what changes only is the Sunday schedule leading up to

87
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: the game. So typically on a month or for a

88
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 1: one o'clock game, typically you don't do much. But when

89
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: you have four o'clock and seven, you know, night night

90
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 1: game type time frames, you know you'll do more with

91
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 1: walkthroughs and stuff. Does your mantra of football's on, I'm

92
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: watching it? Still count on Sunday? You know there's one

93
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 1: o'clock games come on? Yeah, I mean I always I'm

94
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,359
Speaker 1: always got an honor in the background. Now I'm a

95
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,159
Speaker 1: football fan, so when there's a game on, I try

96
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 1: to watch it. Um, if I can stay awake during

97
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 1: the day. With your schedule, I mean, are there are

98
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:17,720
Speaker 1: times where you may have the one of them. I

99
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 1: mean we're sitting around the hotel, so we'll be able

100
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: to kind of well, we'll keep track of what's going

101
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: on just because we're we're sort of fans of the game.

102
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,559
Speaker 1: Can you watch the Notre Dame Vandy game? Or we'll

103
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: be traveling. I think we're gonna be flying, so, um,

104
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:32,479
Speaker 1: I'll try. I'm gonna try to find a way to

105
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 1: get some updates. So I'm certainly uh hoping that Vandy

106
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 1: does well. You played the Cowboys before, you've you've done this,

107
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 1: and you know you've been there, but what are your

108
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,039
Speaker 1: expectations is there? This is their home opener, is pretty

109
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 1: big game for both teams. I don't expectations to go there,

110
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:53,599
Speaker 1: play well and win. That's what we expect. And you know,

111
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 1: we had our home opener last week, so I mean,

112
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:57,920
Speaker 1: you know, we don't really think too much about that.

113
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: We get ready to play the Cowboys and we go

114
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:02,599
Speaker 1: down there and play the game. I meant more like

115
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: towards the atmosphere you're expect there. You know, we we

116
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 1: prepare really for a road team. Um, the thing that

117
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 1: affects you as the crowd noise, and we prepare for

118
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: that regardless that we're playing at night or during the day.

119
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 1: That's that's really the effect on the game. And every

120
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 1: away venue presents the challenge of overcoming crowd noise, and

121
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: so were prepared for it, were ready to go
