1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: Countdown to Kickoff continues. The Houston Texans and the Jacksonville

2
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:07,920
Speaker 1: Jaguars coming up. It's Week three at EverBank Stadium and

3
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:10,079
Speaker 1: it's time for our weekly conversation with Pride of the

4
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 1: Jaguars running back Fred Taylor. And here we are one

5
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:17,279
Speaker 1: in one, coming back home divisional game at the Bank.

6
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 2: Fred, what's up? All is good? JP, All is good?

7
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:20,480
Speaker 3: Man?

8
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:21,480
Speaker 2: One in one?

9
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:23,919
Speaker 3: You know, we thought we'd be two and oh, but hey,

10
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 3: it's early season, early part of the season.

11
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 2: Back to back home games. You gotta love that.

12
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 3: And none other than a team I like to think

13
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 3: of as the little brother.

14
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:33,920
Speaker 2: You know.

15
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:36,480
Speaker 3: We had our fights and our bouts against the Titans.

16
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 3: Somehow they became the big brother of the division, and

17
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 3: we wanted to knock those guys off after the Coats

18
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 3: and it seemed like the Texans were always the little

19
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 3: brother in my mind, and he would upset me so

20
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,599
Speaker 3: much because when they beat us, I felt like they

21
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 3: didn't deserve it. But they became a good team, and

22
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 3: you know, a year ago, the last couple of years

23
00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 3: they had fallen off. But I think they've done some

24
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 3: moves into drafts which will make them, you know, a

25
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 3: team that a very competitive team going forward. So Jacksonville

26
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,479
Speaker 3: is gonna have to get out there and really give

27
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 3: it there.

28
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 2: All. I wouldn't overlook this team.

29
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 1: All right, we'll get to those Texans coming up in

30
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: some of those new pieces, including the new head coach.

31
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: But hey, it's all about the Jaguars this week. And

32
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 1: you said it's early. Well, Doug Peterson isn't really buying

33
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: that anymore. Yeah, he said this week it's early, but

34
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:29,199
Speaker 1: we're running out of the early.

35
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 2: Hey.

36
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,400
Speaker 1: The offense has to get going. They've got to start executing,

37
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 1: and they can't leave these opportunities on the table in

38
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 1: the red zone, the goal line and third down. That's

39
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 1: gonna lose your football games.

40
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 2: No, I agree with coach on that.

41
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 3: I mean, those opportunities you do want to take advantage

42
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 3: of them. Naturally, it is early. I don't agree with

43
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 3: him on that part of it. We're only on week

44
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 3: three now, it's seventeen weeks or eighteen weeks in the season,

45
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 3: seventeen games, so I mean that since it's early, But

46
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 3: you know, he sees it every day. You know what

47
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 3: this theme is capable of, and the sense of urgency

48
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:08,920
Speaker 3: is there for him and he wants his players to

49
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 3: match that, you know, match it with execution, taking advantage

50
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 3: of those opportunities first and goal at the one, you

51
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 3: gotta punch it in. You know, analytics are going to

52
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 3: say you're supposed to score x amount of percent of

53
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 3: the times. I don't know that number, but you're not

54
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 3: supposed to lose three yards on first down when you're

55
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 3: at the one. So plays like that, plays like the

56
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 3: play calling plays at the fifty. You know, fourth and

57
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 3: five at the fifty. You live by it, you die

58
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 3: by it. I mean the percentages are low on that

59
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 3: in my opinion, but you have to take advantage of

60
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,799
Speaker 3: those opportunities that are directly in front of you, and

61
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 3: having the ball on the one is one of those opportunities.

62
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 3: Having the ball in the reddit in the red zone

63
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 3: and not coming away with touchdowns zero for three in

64
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,959
Speaker 3: the red zone as a bad sign. So he want

65
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 3: those guys to capitalize and take advantage of those opportunities.

66
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 3: So if you see that in build confidence now. Later

67
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 3: on in the season when it's more grueling, when the

68
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 3: injuries mount, you might not have your entire roster together.

69
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 3: You have to, you know, replace guys with the backups.

70
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 3: It gets tougher. The NFL is only going to get tougher.

71
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 3: So I understand him in a certain sense, and on

72
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 3: the other sense, I also understand him, but naturally it

73
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 3: is early. And also defending coach, they should take advantage

74
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 3: of those opportunities.

75
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: Fred Taylor with us, what was a little concerning was that,

76
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: you know, he said the Jaguars didn't really practice that

77
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 1: well going into week number two. They didn't have the

78
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 1: cleanest practices. They were just a little off and it

79
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 1: carried over into the game obviously. So how concerning is that?

80
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: And you gotta nip that in the bud right now.

81
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: I mean it's week three and you got to get

82
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: this team back to focus and doing things the right way.

83
00:03:59,280 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 2: During the week.

84
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 3: You know, hindsight is a beautiful man, It's such a

85
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 3: beautiful thing.

86
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 2: If I can go back.

87
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 3: And redo, you know, part of my career where I've

88
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 3: mounted my injuries, you know, I would know exactly what

89
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 3: to do. And it's like that second golf shot, right,

90
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 3: that's a beautiful thing as well, looking back at it.

91
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 2: He can go back and assess it and say, you

92
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,599
Speaker 2: know what, we didn't have the best week. It's easier

93
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,039
Speaker 2: to do that after a loss.

94
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,679
Speaker 3: Sometimes after when you kind of sweep it under the butt,

95
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 3: keep it to yourself, or sweep it under the rug.

96
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, and keep it to yourself.

97
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,559
Speaker 3: But you go back out there and you push your team,

98
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 3: You try and get them to refocus.

99
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 2: And maybe in their mind they didn't think they were.

100
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 3: They had a bad practice, but thankfully he recognized it.

101
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 3: It's one of those things he can grasp of right

102
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,839
Speaker 3: now and going forward. This is how we have to prepare,

103
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 3: this is how we have to practice, and they got

104
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 3: to see if the team is going to respond.

105
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 1: Pretending with us proud of the Jaguars running back. The

106
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: defense is playing well, they're not. You know, they're tied

107
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 1: for second in the league and takeaway so far, they're

108
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 1: still not really getting to the quarterback a whole lot.

109
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 1: They've had two mobile style quarterbacks the first couple of

110
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 1: weeks as part of it. But they're playing good defense,

111
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 1: good team defense, good winning team defense.

112
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 2: Is big.

113
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: If they can just keep that up and then maybe

114
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 1: build upon that with some of these impact plays on

115
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 1: the quarterback, then he got something.

116
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're playing good defense, they're playing playing that Jaguar

117
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 3: two thousand and four or five six seven defense that

118
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 3: been but don't break defense. But they have to also

119
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 3: be opportunistic those turnovers that they're getting, you know, they

120
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 3: have to try and find a way to capitalize, and

121
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,720
Speaker 3: that part involves, you know, the offense more so than

122
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,359
Speaker 3: the defense. Is their job to get those stops, and

123
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 3: they've done that. Much like yourself. I'd like to see

124
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 3: more pressure from the front four, you know, but they

125
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 3: are getting They're close. They're close, and that's encouraging to see.

126
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 3: But more importantly being able to get those stops all

127
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 3: around all facets, even special teams that point returned the

128
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 3: muff punt, they're able to get on top of that one. Again,

129
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 3: you got to capitalize on those opportunities.

130
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 2: But to not go out there and allow a.

131
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:28,720
Speaker 3: Team who is as dangerous as Kansas City is typically

132
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 3: only hold them to seventeen points, that's encouraging. I mean,

133
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 3: that's a great start, you know, But now you speak

134
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 3: to the other side of the ball, who's supposed to

135
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 3: you know, have been the highlight or the expectations will

136
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 3: hired for the offense this offseason. Now they have to

137
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 3: come and when they put those two fastests together, we

138
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,839
Speaker 3: shouldn't see this team really as sin and start winning

139
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 3: a lot of ball games.

140
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 1: Bret Taylor with us. Let's get to the Houston Texans now,

141
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 1: and there is a lot of new down in Houston.

142
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: New head coach, quarterback, new defensive end. There's a rookie

143
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,599
Speaker 1: linebacker playing. I mean, there's a lot going on in

144
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: Houston these days. Let's but the quarterback is really where

145
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: this thing's gonna go. We can get to Damiko Ryans

146
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: in a minute. Obviously defensive minded head coach was a

147
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: linebacker for a long time, worked his way up to

148
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: San Francisco system. So that's really kind of where the

149
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 1: bread and butter is going to be in Houston. But

150
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 1: when you have a second overall pick quarterback, he's your guy.

151
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 2: CJ.

152
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 1: Stroud was a two time Heisman finalist at Ohio State,

153
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 1: and when he had time to throw, which most of

154
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 1: the times he did in Columbus, he was tough to stop.

155
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 1: I mean, he had great weapons around him. He was

156
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 1: pinpoint accurate, big army, had everything you wanted. And so far,

157
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 1: he's putting up some numbers. He's getting hit a lot,

158
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 1: though it's not his fault. The offensive lines beat up

159
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 1: the mindset of Stroud. I know you guys talked to

160
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 1: him in the draft process, what kind of quarterback of

161
00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 1: the Texans getting?

162
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 3: Listen, and I tell you JP off top he has

163
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 3: all the tools to make it happen on the field.

164
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 3: I think for me, the you know, his greatest asset

165
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 3: is just who he is as a person, as a

166
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 3: young man.

167
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 2: He is absolutely phenomenal.

168
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 3: He understands life, he understands the business, he understands the game.

169
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 3: I think in the interview process the Texans they saw

170
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 3: that too. They knew they were going to get a

171
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 3: very mature player, you know, not someone who's gonna be

172
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 3: out there in the street, not someone who's gonna get

173
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 3: all that negative media attention.

174
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 2: Someone who really, really really.

175
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 3: Wants to win. He is a winner at heart, and

176
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 3: that's what you need. He recognizes his opportunity and after

177
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 3: every guy. He's only played two pro games, but you

178
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 3: can just see if you stared at him, you can

179
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 3: see the passion.

180
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 2: You know.

181
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 3: He doesn't like to lose. He's not used to losing,

182
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 3: you know. And I don't think that's gonna break his confidence.

183
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 3: He is putting up the number. The offensive line got

184
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 3: to play better, maybe the play call has got to

185
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 3: figure out a way where they can get the ball out,

186
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 3: maybe just a tap bit quicker or sort of design

187
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 3: up some things. They have a pretty good running back

188
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 3: back there in Pierce, Like, how can they find a

189
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 3: certain balance. At the end of the day, it is

190
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 3: going to go through CJ. Stroud uh their success. But

191
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,199
Speaker 3: also they've built for the future. I think they're gonna

192
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 3: have a very good defense in the next two or

193
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 3: three years with the calibory players that they brought. I

194
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 3: think if they create a certain balance with a certain

195
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 3: group of bringing in some bettering guys, some true leadership,

196
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 3: it'll help that that team get better in a heartbeat.

197
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 3: But CJ is gonna be a player. I firmly believe

198
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 3: he's gonna be a great player. And again, I think

199
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 3: they've put done a great job of putting the small

200
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 3: pieces in place that will lead to, you know, a

201
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 3: bigger prize at the end.

202
00:09:56,160 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 2: Of the day. You like Damiko Ryans do I?

203
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 3: Hey, listen, we saw what he did with the forty

204
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 3: nine ers defense that has some really good players, but

205
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 3: it was his scheme in his system. As a player,

206
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 3: I didn't always like the Miko. We matched up several

207
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 3: times he was a young linebacker Alabama and he brought it.

208
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 3: He brought the intensity, fast, smart, and he's carried that

209
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 3: over to his coaching style. Very intense, very smart, and

210
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 3: I think he's going to do an amazing job for

211
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 3: that organization. It's going to take some time, you know,

212
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,839
Speaker 3: all those pieces you mentioned, It is going to take

213
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 3: some time. But I think Nick Serio, their GM, they're

214
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 3: going to do a great job working together. I liked

215
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 3: Nick a lot. We developed a relationship when I was

216
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 3: in New England when he was just a young intern,

217
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 3: just kind of bouncing around. But he's put the grind

218
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 3: in and he's deserving of that GM position, and Demico

219
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 3: is deserving of ahead with you an opportunity, and I

220
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 3: hope that he does well, just.

221
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:04,680
Speaker 2: Not this game.

222
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 3: You know, any do great coach, but versus the Jags

223
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 3: do great, but lose, You know that that that's okay.

224
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,680
Speaker 3: But I'm expecting a good game. This isn't gonna be

225
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 3: a pushover game. At some point the Texans are going

226
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 3: to win. I just hope it's not this game.

227
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 1: Damika Ryan's the pride of jess Laanier High School in Bessemer, Alabama.

228
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 1: That school is no longer by the way, but yeah,

229
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 1: it just worked his way up in coaching and now

230
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 1: getting his opportunity in Houston. It's too early for a

231
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 1: must win, Fred, it's week three. It would be nice

232
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 1: to have this one, though.

233
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 2: I disagree JP.

234
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 3: Every every week is a must win, like you you

235
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 3: want to win those games, Like yeah, we said is

236
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:53,839
Speaker 3: it's early, But that doesn't mean, you know, you kind

237
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 3: of lay off the gas. It doesn't mean you don't

238
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 3: have that sense of urgency. It doesn't mean it's okay,

239
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,439
Speaker 3: you know, you still every week it's a must win,

240
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 3: like you. You put in so much work in the

241
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 3: off season. The coaches are stressed, the front office is stressed.

242
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 3: You're building a roster. You got to make these hard decisions,

243
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 3: make cuts all to just go out there and say

244
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 3: we win today. It's okay, No, it doesn't work that way.

245
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 3: It's a must win now. There are must must wins

246
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 3: later in the season. But I like to think of

247
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:28,559
Speaker 3: these games as must wins because you got division involved,

248
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:33,439
Speaker 3: you got h tie breakers involved, you got points per

249
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 3: game tiebreakers, you got the playoff.

250
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 2: Like, it's so.

251
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 3: Much stuff that when you look back, you're like, man,

252
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 3: if we had just done this this week. So but Now,

253
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 3: if you have that must win, that extreme sense of

254
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 3: urgency mentality each and every week, starting with practice, then

255
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 3: you give yourself an opportunity to be successful. So for me,

256
00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 3: it's a must win each week. And it's not gonna

257
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,080
Speaker 3: always work that way, but at least if you have

258
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 3: that mindset, you shouldn't have any letdowns. You know, mentally,

259
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 3: you shouldn't have mental letdowns. Knowing you you went out

260
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 3: there with an extreme approach and you gave it your all.

261
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 1: Great answer, Fred, Well, we see you in London next week.

262
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 3: Of course, of course we'll be pub hopping, you know,

263
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 3: we do our thing, You and I Saturday that I

264
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 3: can't think the name of the pub, but we will.

00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:32,079
Speaker 1: Be there the Pavilion End Pub.

Speaker 3: We will be at the Pavilion cheering on, rooting on

Speaker 3: So that'll be fun. That's always fun. And I'm looking

269
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:44,719
Speaker 3: forward to some other stuff. I got a Thursday night

270

Speaker 3: event with military families, h so that should be great.

271
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 2: I gotta get suited and booted.

272
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:53,319
Speaker 3: I got a fresh suit ready for that, and I'm

273
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:56,320
Speaker 3: ready for the game, you know, ready to see see

274
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,679
Speaker 3: the Falcons. Ready to see Bijon in person. He's a

275
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 3: great player. He's showing that he has a lot of potential.

276
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 3: So yeah, looking forward to the London trip.

277
