<v Speaker 1>more in a safe area. I guess it sounds bad,

0:01:22.520 --> 0:01:24.200

<v Speaker 1>for the game. It's non displaying at all. It's it's

0:01:36.360 --> 0:01:37.920
<v Speaker 1>kind of funny where it's at, but it's actually in

0:01:38.000 --> 0:01:41.280
<v Speaker 1>a safe area. So he'll be okay for the game. Yeah,

0:01:41.280 --> 0:01:43.319
<v Speaker 1>he should be fine for the game. Um. And then

0:01:43.319 --> 0:01:46.600

<v Speaker 1>bit sore behind the knee, so he'll be he'll be okay.

0:01:50.560 --> 0:01:58.960
<v Speaker 1>And then uh, everybody else, Um, it's good. Well, moving forward,

0:01:59.000 --> 0:02:02.960
<v Speaker 1>it looks like we'll go back to our preseason uh thought,

0:02:03.000 --> 0:02:05.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, move Allan over there and give him, give

0:02:05.080 --> 0:02:07.560
<v Speaker 1>him the week you know of reps over at right

0:02:07.560 --> 0:02:09.519
<v Speaker 1>tackle and then and then you get whiz and Isaac

0:02:09.520 --> 0:02:12.919
<v Speaker 1>get the guard spot and then keep keep Tobin available.

0:02:15.720 --> 0:02:18.200
<v Speaker 1>It'll be whiz um, but Isaac will get get some

0:02:18.240 --> 0:02:25.400
<v Speaker 1>reps to Yeah. The reason by us from doing so,

0:02:25.639 --> 0:02:27.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, um, you know right now with some of

0:02:27.760 --> 0:02:30.800
<v Speaker 1>the injuries that we have at other spots, and uh,

0:02:30.919 --> 0:02:33.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, we're constantly and I'm constantly evaluating the roster

0:02:33.800 --> 0:02:37.040
<v Speaker 1>and just kind of uh seeing seeing where we are there. Um,

0:02:37.080 --> 0:02:39.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, we gave him some work last week in practice,

0:02:39.080 --> 0:02:41.080
<v Speaker 1>and just feel like this is a good opportunity now

0:02:41.120 --> 0:02:43.040
<v Speaker 1>and not only for him but for us to uh

0:02:43.560 --> 0:02:46.080
<v Speaker 1>uh see see where he's at, see what he can do,

0:02:46.120 --> 0:02:48.120
<v Speaker 1>and give him, give him an opportunity. So we'll give

0:02:48.160 --> 0:02:49.679
<v Speaker 1>him some work this week and then and then we'll

0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:52.240
<v Speaker 1>make a decision whether he'll be up or not later

0:02:52.280 --> 0:02:54.960
<v Speaker 1>in the week. Butter game, Nelson and I go are admitted,

0:02:55.520 --> 0:02:59.320
<v Speaker 1>uh that pressure is getting to him and that he's

0:02:59.400 --> 0:03:02.120
<v Speaker 1>using confidence and he's in his head. Do you have

0:03:02.160 --> 0:03:04.720
<v Speaker 1>to take him now and stepping back from from playing

0:03:04.800 --> 0:03:08.000
<v Speaker 1>much because of that. We we will. I will definitely

0:03:08.000 --> 0:03:10.880
<v Speaker 1>have a conversation with Nelson and and and I'll address

0:03:10.960 --> 0:03:12.760
<v Speaker 1>that as as we get later into the week. But

0:03:13.280 --> 0:03:15.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, that's those are definitely concerns that I have,

0:03:15.800 --> 0:03:18.960
<v Speaker 1>you know now that now that obviously he's come out

0:03:19.000 --> 0:03:22.560
<v Speaker 1>and said that publicly. Um, you know, my my concern

0:03:22.680 --> 0:03:24.480
<v Speaker 1>is for him as as an individual, you know, as

0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:27.519
<v Speaker 1>a person. I want to make sure that he's he's uh,

0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:29.959
<v Speaker 1>you know, in a good spot. You know, Hey, listen,

0:03:30.040 --> 0:03:32.440
<v Speaker 1>put football aside. We all know about that, but I

0:03:32.520 --> 0:03:35.680
<v Speaker 1>want to make sure that him as a person is uh,

0:03:36.080 --> 0:03:39.160
<v Speaker 1>he's doing good. So we'll have that conversation during the before,

0:03:39.680 --> 0:03:42.080
<v Speaker 1>either as a teammate of a guy or as a

0:03:42.080 --> 0:03:44.320
<v Speaker 1>coach of a guy who's been in his head this

0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:47.120
<v Speaker 1>bad and if so, how did they get out of it.

0:03:48.520 --> 0:03:50.839
<v Speaker 1>I can't recall off off the top of my head

0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:55.800
<v Speaker 1>a situation or a scenario, you know, and sometimes sometimes

0:03:57.240 --> 0:03:59.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, and this is not this is just me speaking.

0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:02.800
<v Speaker 1>It's not a decision by any means. But sometimes you

0:04:02.880 --> 0:04:05.160
<v Speaker 1>have to take a step back in order to go forward.

0:04:05.840 --> 0:04:11.480
<v Speaker 1>Um and and uh sometimes that that can help clear

0:04:12.080 --> 0:04:14.400
<v Speaker 1>clear your head. You know. I remember as a quarterback

0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:17.200
<v Speaker 1>back in nineteen ninety nine when when Andy you know,

0:04:17.279 --> 0:04:18.960
<v Speaker 1>pulled me out and put Donovan in, It was a

0:04:19.000 --> 0:04:22.080
<v Speaker 1>step back to to possibly go forward and to see it,

0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:25.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, see it differently. So um, you know those

0:04:25.760 --> 0:04:27.760
<v Speaker 1>are and and and then that way too, you can

0:04:27.800 --> 0:04:30.760
<v Speaker 1>begin to clear clear your head and then see it,

0:04:31.400 --> 0:04:34.240
<v Speaker 1>see it where you don't have the pressure you know,

0:04:34.320 --> 0:04:38.240
<v Speaker 1>of of performing on you all the time. Are you

0:04:38.279 --> 0:04:41.839
<v Speaker 1>thinking about sitting him or pulling back on him to

0:04:41.920 --> 0:04:44.320
<v Speaker 1>give him that opportunity to step out. I'm gonna wait

0:04:44.360 --> 0:04:46.600
<v Speaker 1>till after I talk with Nelson. I'm gonna wait and

0:04:46.680 --> 0:04:48.960
<v Speaker 1>see where we're at during the week and and and

0:04:49.560 --> 0:04:53.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, um and make that decision, you know, down

0:04:54.160 --> 0:04:56.520
<v Speaker 1>down later later, and we've got a longer week, and

0:04:56.760 --> 0:04:59.200
<v Speaker 1>I just want to see where he's at. So who

0:04:59.200 --> 0:05:04.039
<v Speaker 1>takes first th on on our Wednesday? Well, we still

0:05:04.080 --> 0:05:05.640
<v Speaker 1>still have the four, you know, and then we just

0:05:05.680 --> 0:05:08.080
<v Speaker 1>will interject pt you know, Paul Turner and and and

0:05:08.080 --> 0:05:10.520
<v Speaker 1>we'll just we'll just keep much like we did yet

0:05:10.600 --> 0:05:12.479
<v Speaker 1>last week is a is we we we kind of

0:05:12.480 --> 0:05:15.479
<v Speaker 1>got everybody equal opportunity in there, you know, and and

0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:17.880
<v Speaker 1>uh so, so Nelson will be a part of that

0:05:17.920 --> 0:05:20.840
<v Speaker 1>and then we'll again all evaluate it later in a week.

0:05:21.120 --> 0:05:26.360
<v Speaker 1>Why has it taken so returner to get an opportunity? Well,

0:05:26.440 --> 0:05:29.920
<v Speaker 1>I just think you know, when you're when you're when

0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:32.840
<v Speaker 1>you're shuffling, and I say shuffling when you're when you're

0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:36.480
<v Speaker 1>having to get guys active for games. Um, it's all

0:05:36.520 --> 0:05:40.520
<v Speaker 1>about numbers, you know, to get guys deactivated and activated

0:05:40.560 --> 0:05:42.560
<v Speaker 1>for games, And a lot of times it comes down

0:05:42.560 --> 0:05:45.839
<v Speaker 1>to injury. And and just by sheer number. Um, it

0:05:46.000 --> 0:05:50.000
<v Speaker 1>just hasn't been in the works to uh um, to

0:05:50.120 --> 0:05:54.880
<v Speaker 1>get him, to get him up. I think Nelson beyond

0:05:55.600 --> 0:05:58.400
<v Speaker 1>beyond just being in his head, as he said, were

0:05:58.440 --> 0:06:01.240
<v Speaker 1>there are things beyond out into your mind that he's

0:06:01.240 --> 0:06:05.880
<v Speaker 1>actually he's struggled with, you mean, away from football or

0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:10.160
<v Speaker 1>just fuel girl back to you know why he's struggling.

0:06:10.560 --> 0:06:13.760
<v Speaker 1>Is it all? Is it all a mental thing? Or

0:06:13.920 --> 0:06:16.120
<v Speaker 1>is there or are there things that he's not doing

0:06:16.120 --> 0:06:18.200
<v Speaker 1>that he needs to be doing well? I I again,

0:06:18.279 --> 0:06:24.480
<v Speaker 1>I you know, um, it's all speculation obviously, but but um,

0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:27.240
<v Speaker 1>I think sometimes as athletes, you put so much pressure

0:06:27.279 --> 0:06:31.000
<v Speaker 1>on yourself to perform and and then when it when

0:06:31.000 --> 0:06:36.120
<v Speaker 1>it maybe doesn't quite work out in your favor, you know, um.

0:06:36.160 --> 0:06:39.160
<v Speaker 1>And then and then outside influences you know, I e.

0:06:39.480 --> 0:06:44.200
<v Speaker 1>The media, fans, um put more pressure on you to perform.

0:06:44.720 --> 0:06:47.120
<v Speaker 1>And and you're you're you're a top pick and you

0:06:47.160 --> 0:06:51.680
<v Speaker 1>need to perform. All that pressure on a player, UM,

0:06:51.720 --> 0:06:56.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, is is not good and uh um. And

0:06:56.200 --> 0:06:59.800
<v Speaker 1>so you know, in in in Nelson's case, sometimes so

0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:04.320
<v Speaker 1>times it's uh um. You know you'd like I mentioned,

0:07:04.360 --> 0:07:06.279
<v Speaker 1>sometimes maybe you have to take a step back, and

0:07:06.320 --> 0:07:09.840
<v Speaker 1>maybe you have to see it um differently, view it differently.

0:07:10.000 --> 0:07:12.440
<v Speaker 1>And these are all conversations that he and I will

0:07:12.480 --> 0:07:15.640
<v Speaker 1>have this week. And and uh and again I'm it's

0:07:15.680 --> 0:07:17.560
<v Speaker 1>it's the it's the well being of the player and

0:07:17.600 --> 0:07:20.280
<v Speaker 1>the person for me than it is that as him

0:07:20.320 --> 0:07:23.040
<v Speaker 1>as him as an athlete and as a receiver pressing.

0:07:23.120 --> 0:07:26.120
<v Speaker 1>Have you seen him have you the stuff he talked

0:07:26.160 --> 0:07:28.080
<v Speaker 1>about after the game? Have you seen that over the

0:07:28.160 --> 0:07:30.280
<v Speaker 1>last time I've seen him. I've seen him trying to

0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:34.960
<v Speaker 1>just do things a little out of character for him,

0:07:35.160 --> 0:07:37.880
<v Speaker 1>you know. And and and that's obviously a sign that

0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:41.280
<v Speaker 1>that maybe things are um not going not going well

0:07:41.280 --> 0:07:43.880
<v Speaker 1>for him, and you just as an athlete again, as athletes,

0:07:43.920 --> 0:07:46.000
<v Speaker 1>we just can't. You gotta let the game sort of

0:07:46.040 --> 0:07:48.520
<v Speaker 1>come to you. And and I feel like he's maybe

0:07:48.520 --> 0:07:51.040
<v Speaker 1>pressing just a little bit and trying to do things

0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:53.880
<v Speaker 1>and he's doing everything right. Listen, it's he's working hard,

0:07:53.880 --> 0:07:57.400
<v Speaker 1>he's getting work after practice and doing all doing everything right.

0:07:57.680 --> 0:08:01.520
<v Speaker 1>And uh, um, we're just gonna, you know, we're just

0:08:01.560 --> 0:08:04.800
<v Speaker 1>gonna continue to work. When you call the time out,

0:08:04.840 --> 0:08:07.320
<v Speaker 1>why didn't you like that situation to call it time out?

0:08:08.800 --> 0:08:13.720
<v Speaker 1>You know? At the time. Um, I guess, I guess

0:08:15.440 --> 0:08:17.440
<v Speaker 1>in my mind at that at that point it was

0:08:17.520 --> 0:08:20.160
<v Speaker 1>third and six and and I guess the easiest thing

0:08:20.240 --> 0:08:21.760
<v Speaker 1>might have been yet to call the time out. But

0:08:21.920 --> 0:08:25.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, a lot of times, as I mentioned after

0:08:25.840 --> 0:08:27.960
<v Speaker 1>the game, you know, receivers looked to the sideline to

0:08:28.280 --> 0:08:30.880
<v Speaker 1>get the to get the okay by the official, and

0:08:30.560 --> 0:08:34.320
<v Speaker 1>the official was obviously waving his hand to move him up.

0:08:34.320 --> 0:08:38.520
<v Speaker 1>And um, you know pre snap, you know, as quarterbacks

0:08:38.559 --> 0:08:41.600
<v Speaker 1>were wired in our first white vision is to make

0:08:41.640 --> 0:08:45.560
<v Speaker 1>sure everybody's legal and and um, you know, I just

0:08:45.559 --> 0:08:48.480
<v Speaker 1>didn't at that time, just didn't feel like, um where

0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:51.560
<v Speaker 1>we were at the time, and didn't want to just

0:08:51.600 --> 0:08:53.280
<v Speaker 1>save the time out, so I just didn't call it.

0:08:53.760 --> 0:08:57.760
<v Speaker 1>Or did you see greg who we saw it? We

0:08:57.760 --> 0:09:00.120
<v Speaker 1>were we were we we saw it initially right away.

0:09:00.160 --> 0:09:03.720
<v Speaker 1>And and uh, you know, did you think Carson a

0:09:03.720 --> 0:09:05.319
<v Speaker 1>little bit a little bit on a quarterback but of

0:09:05.400 --> 0:09:07.480
<v Speaker 1>course he was focused in on on you know, the

0:09:07.760 --> 0:09:10.880
<v Speaker 1>defense at the time too. But uh, um, there were

0:09:10.880 --> 0:09:14.520
<v Speaker 1>two other receivers there also, um and and and again

0:09:14.640 --> 0:09:16.880
<v Speaker 1>it comes back to me, I got to make sure

0:09:16.920 --> 0:09:19.320
<v Speaker 1>that these guys are are prepared in all all those

0:09:19.320 --> 0:09:23.920
<v Speaker 1>situations and just know, you know, um, sometimes receivers are

0:09:23.920 --> 0:09:26.760
<v Speaker 1>displaced a lot, and they're in those bunches and clusters

0:09:26.760 --> 0:09:28.680
<v Speaker 1>and just got to keep talking to him to make

0:09:28.679 --> 0:09:30.599
<v Speaker 1>sure they're on the ball. There was a time of

0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:35.880
<v Speaker 1>the league where young receivers we're expected to struggle, especially rookies.

0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:37.480
<v Speaker 1>He's not a rookie, but he's the second year guys

0:09:37.520 --> 0:09:41.840
<v Speaker 1>now and then some guys there were some period whereas

0:09:41.880 --> 0:09:44.640
<v Speaker 1>some rookies had a lot of success. Has that changed

0:09:44.679 --> 0:09:47.920
<v Speaker 1>the expectations for young receivers in this league? Do you

0:09:47.960 --> 0:09:54.880
<v Speaker 1>think to uh to succeed quicker? You know, it's obviously

0:09:54.880 --> 0:09:57.640
<v Speaker 1>a league where where you know, we ask guys to

0:09:57.720 --> 0:10:01.960
<v Speaker 1>perform right away, you know, and and whether they're they're

0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:06.320
<v Speaker 1>drafted or undrafted. Um, you know you're you're the pressure

0:10:06.360 --> 0:10:10.080
<v Speaker 1>to play, I guess is right now. You know. Um,

0:10:10.120 --> 0:10:13.600
<v Speaker 1>back when I played, it was more let's develop these players,

0:10:13.720 --> 0:10:16.439
<v Speaker 1>you know, and you get time where where now it's

0:10:16.559 --> 0:10:18.959
<v Speaker 1>it's okay, you know, what have you done from me lately?

0:10:19.040 --> 0:10:22.559
<v Speaker 1>Mentality and and uh, we expect, we expect a lot

0:10:22.600 --> 0:10:25.679
<v Speaker 1>from these young players. And and it's probably a disjustice

0:10:25.720 --> 0:10:27.720
<v Speaker 1>on our part, you know, maybe maybe we need to

0:10:27.720 --> 0:10:29.800
<v Speaker 1>take a step back as coaches and and say, hey, look,

0:10:30.120 --> 0:10:32.600
<v Speaker 1>let's keep developing these guys, let's keep working, and let's

0:10:33.120 --> 0:10:36.120
<v Speaker 1>let's let's try to figure out ways to to use

0:10:36.200 --> 0:10:38.480
<v Speaker 1>them number one and help them be successful on the

0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:41.040
<v Speaker 1>football field. Much like our young quarterback. You know, how

0:10:41.080 --> 0:10:44.800
<v Speaker 1>can we help him? How can I help him be successful? So, yeah,

0:10:44.840 --> 0:10:47.800
<v Speaker 1>it's a there is a fine line. You know, we

0:10:47.840 --> 0:10:50.040
<v Speaker 1>asked him to do a lot early. Um, but we

0:10:50.120 --> 0:10:52.120
<v Speaker 1>also know that in the long run, if there is

0:10:52.160 --> 0:10:55.360
<v Speaker 1>success there, then then that benefits not only them but

0:10:55.400 --> 0:10:58.240
<v Speaker 1>the team down the road. Young quarterback, what have you

0:10:58.240 --> 0:11:02.000
<v Speaker 1>seen full of the last than a half or so? Uh,

0:11:02.040 --> 0:11:04.840
<v Speaker 1>it seems like, at least statistically, his production has been

0:11:04.920 --> 0:11:07.600
<v Speaker 1>kind of steadily going down. How much of that is him?

0:11:07.640 --> 0:11:09.760
<v Speaker 1>How much of that is the people around him? And

0:11:09.760 --> 0:11:11.160
<v Speaker 1>and how do you get them to kind of back

0:11:11.200 --> 0:11:13.000
<v Speaker 1>on back on track? Well, the way to get him

0:11:13.000 --> 0:11:15.080
<v Speaker 1>back on track is is is I've got to I've

0:11:15.120 --> 0:11:17.520
<v Speaker 1>got to do a better job, you know with the

0:11:17.600 --> 0:11:19.800
<v Speaker 1>run game. I gotta I gotta we got to handle

0:11:19.840 --> 0:11:21.520
<v Speaker 1>the run a little bit better and and and manage

0:11:21.559 --> 0:11:23.160
<v Speaker 1>it like you know, like we did in the Atlanta game.

0:11:23.160 --> 0:11:28.280
<v Speaker 1>And um, that's obviously for a young quarterback. Um, you know,

0:11:28.280 --> 0:11:30.120
<v Speaker 1>and I've said all long, you can't put you know,

0:11:30.160 --> 0:11:32.320
<v Speaker 1>forty five past attempts on a young quarterback in this

0:11:32.400 --> 0:11:36.360
<v Speaker 1>league against that defense in that stadium. It's, uh, you're

0:11:36.360 --> 0:11:39.120
<v Speaker 1>doing him a disservice. But you know, we've we've got

0:11:39.120 --> 0:11:42.360
<v Speaker 1>to do a better job, you know, as coaches. Um

0:11:42.400 --> 0:11:44.400
<v Speaker 1>I said after the game, you know, this this one

0:11:44.520 --> 0:11:47.440
<v Speaker 1>is UM, we're all disappointed. But I look at myself

0:11:47.440 --> 0:11:50.040
<v Speaker 1>hard at this one and make sure that again I'm

0:11:50.080 --> 0:11:53.200
<v Speaker 1>doing I'm doing everything I can to make sure this

0:11:53.200 --> 0:11:55.920
<v Speaker 1>team is number one ready to go, UM putting our

0:11:55.960 --> 0:12:00.280
<v Speaker 1>players in the right positions and UM. And so you know,

0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:02.839
<v Speaker 1>that's that's all part of the evaluation process that that

0:12:02.960 --> 0:12:05.840
<v Speaker 1>I go through. Frustration on his part. It seems like

0:12:05.840 --> 0:12:09.240
<v Speaker 1>there's times he's forcing things, especially deep that may not

0:12:09.320 --> 0:12:11.840
<v Speaker 1>be there. Is that somebody's going to there's a little

0:12:11.880 --> 0:12:14.240
<v Speaker 1>bit of that, um, you know, and and and those

0:12:14.280 --> 0:12:16.120
<v Speaker 1>are all things that we work with. Those are those

0:12:16.120 --> 0:12:19.760
<v Speaker 1>are game management situations. And again you know, with myself

0:12:19.800 --> 0:12:21.720
<v Speaker 1>who played in this league and Frank Wright played in

0:12:21.720 --> 0:12:23.800
<v Speaker 1>this league a long time, we keep constantly talking about

0:12:23.840 --> 0:12:27.360
<v Speaker 1>those situations with him and you know, um, I keep

0:12:27.400 --> 0:12:30.199
<v Speaker 1>saying that they're learning experiences, and they are. And um

0:12:30.440 --> 0:12:35.679
<v Speaker 1>anytime you go against h find defense like like Seattle, Um,

0:12:35.760 --> 0:12:37.760
<v Speaker 1>it's okay. Sometimes it checked the ball down and we

0:12:37.840 --> 0:12:40.800
<v Speaker 1>just got to continue to talk and and uh, you know,

0:12:40.880 --> 0:12:43.120
<v Speaker 1>work through those work through those situations with him. We

0:12:43.160 --> 0:12:46.439
<v Speaker 1>haven't seen Paul Turner since training camp in the preseason.

0:12:47.040 --> 0:12:50.600
<v Speaker 1>How has he done the last few months? He Uh,

0:12:50.679 --> 0:12:53.560
<v Speaker 1>he's done well, you know, he's um, gosh, he's made

0:12:53.559 --> 0:12:56.560
<v Speaker 1>plays on service team, you know, going against our defense.

0:12:56.600 --> 0:13:00.560
<v Speaker 1>And a lot of times when you're going against starters practice,

0:13:00.640 --> 0:13:02.439
<v Speaker 1>you know, you get a good uh, get a good

0:13:02.480 --> 0:13:04.600
<v Speaker 1>look at your young players that way. And he's done.

0:13:04.720 --> 0:13:07.679
<v Speaker 1>He's done a nice job. And um, even last week,

0:13:07.840 --> 0:13:11.240
<v Speaker 1>Uh in practice we were able to kind of interject

0:13:11.320 --> 0:13:15.680
<v Speaker 1>him in some of our offensive practice work and and

0:13:15.679 --> 0:13:18.120
<v Speaker 1>and and see where he's at. And he's obviously a

0:13:18.160 --> 0:13:20.319
<v Speaker 1>sharp kid and and uh, you know, looking forward to

0:13:20.320 --> 0:13:24.120
<v Speaker 1>give him some more time this week as a as

0:13:24.200 --> 0:13:28.120
<v Speaker 1>as as players have struggled, you think very supportive publicly

0:13:28.480 --> 0:13:31.400
<v Speaker 1>as opposed to putting pressure on. Is that a philosophy

0:13:31.440 --> 0:13:34.080
<v Speaker 1>of yours? And is in the same way behind the scenes,

0:13:34.640 --> 0:13:37.280
<v Speaker 1>look there's enough pressure to win and to perform in

0:13:37.360 --> 0:13:40.640
<v Speaker 1>this game. And you know it's my job to encourage.

0:13:40.640 --> 0:13:43.840
<v Speaker 1>It's my job to teach and instruct and and and

0:13:44.160 --> 0:13:48.280
<v Speaker 1>get our guys to game day. Um, you know this

0:13:48.440 --> 0:13:50.320
<v Speaker 1>this games it's hard enough to win a game. I mean,

0:13:50.360 --> 0:13:53.960
<v Speaker 1>Carson is We've talked about that, you know, it's this

0:13:54.040 --> 0:13:56.480
<v Speaker 1>is the most losses he's had in his career, and

0:13:56.480 --> 0:13:59.560
<v Speaker 1>and it's and we keep talking every week how hard

0:13:59.600 --> 0:14:01.920
<v Speaker 1>it is win games in this in this in this league.

0:14:01.920 --> 0:14:05.360
<v Speaker 1>And it's it's all based on your your how well

0:14:05.400 --> 0:14:08.040
<v Speaker 1>you you know you you um prepared during the week.

0:14:08.720 --> 0:14:13.319
<v Speaker 1>So I don't you know, I can, I can individually

0:14:13.360 --> 0:14:16.040
<v Speaker 1>talk to guys and pull guys aside. But at the

0:14:16.080 --> 0:14:18.680
<v Speaker 1>same time, you know, part of my job is to

0:14:18.760 --> 0:14:21.000
<v Speaker 1>encourage them too, and to support them and to get

0:14:21.040 --> 0:14:23.720
<v Speaker 1>them better. It's you know, we get you know, we

0:14:23.760 --> 0:14:27.440
<v Speaker 1>get paid to teach. And and because because there's a

0:14:27.480 --> 0:14:30.880
<v Speaker 1>lot of negative out there, and uh um, I want

0:14:30.880 --> 0:14:34.120
<v Speaker 1>to make sure that they've got they've got positive from

0:14:34.120 --> 0:14:37.200
<v Speaker 1>from me and from the staff. Wendell has kind of

0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:39.920
<v Speaker 1>progressed enough to a point where if Ryan can't go

0:14:40.200 --> 0:14:42.920
<v Speaker 1>on Monday, that he can kind of be you know, yeah,

0:14:42.960 --> 0:14:44.960
<v Speaker 1>I think so, I think so you know what again,

0:14:45.000 --> 0:14:47.720
<v Speaker 1>we'll uh uh you know, evaluate Ryan later in the week.

0:14:47.760 --> 0:14:49.960
<v Speaker 1>But but Wendell has done a nice job and and

0:14:50.080 --> 0:14:53.720
<v Speaker 1>uh um, I think I think if you know, if,

0:14:53.760 --> 0:14:55.920
<v Speaker 1>if if need be, I think Wendell would be would

0:14:55.960 --> 0:14:58.440
<v Speaker 1>be okay, you know, taking the brunt of the load

0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:03.320
<v Speaker 1>bidding fault. Has there's been any thought of bringing somebody

0:15:03.320 --> 0:15:05.480
<v Speaker 1>in from the outside of that position out of this time? Yeah,

0:15:09.160 --> 0:15:15.720
<v Speaker 1>h
