1 00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:03,920 Speaker 1: Positive. What's going into Zoe? The last couple of weeks 2 00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:07,800 Speaker 1: have all I told him yesterday I'm gonna start calling 3 00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:11,319 Speaker 1: Mr Carter, you know, said Mr Carter showed up. I'm like, 4 00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:14,440 Speaker 1: you know what, I mean, who knows the exact reason. 5 00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:17,880 Speaker 1: I know he works hard, works really hard during the week, 6 00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:20,240 Speaker 1: and I'm happy for him that he's starting to come 7 00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:23,400 Speaker 1: together having some success. I mean, he's playing pretty well. 8 00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:24,880 Speaker 1: You know, he's doing a good job in the run, 9 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:28,240 Speaker 1: set in the edge, being able to transition, especially on 10 00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:31,400 Speaker 1: early down, getting some pass rushing stuff. Um, he saw it. 11 00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:33,559 Speaker 1: Last week. We talked about something about in terms of 12 00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:35,720 Speaker 1: flashing the long arm and like the third kick with 13 00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,480 Speaker 1: that guy Boom got it, you know, and it worked 14 00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:40,920 Speaker 1: out perfectly. So you know, it's starting to come together 15 00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,720 Speaker 1: for him. I'm just happy for him, just happy for him. 16 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:45,919 Speaker 1: But I referred to him as Mr Carter. I might 17 00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:49,599 Speaker 1: keep it going today too. That might be some cynics 18 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:51,760 Speaker 1: and look at it saying he's got guys in a 19 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:56,640 Speaker 1: contract year. I mean, what's he hurt before? Well, obviously 20 00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:59,840 Speaker 1: got hurt last year. Um, you know again that in 21 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,360 Speaker 1: three questions you gotta asked Joe and all those guys. 22 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:04,720 Speaker 1: But I mean, you know, sometimes it just takes a 23 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,080 Speaker 1: while to get clicking, and you know, just maybe it's 24 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,400 Speaker 1: something in his mind's come together. I mean, you really 25 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 1: have to ask him. Um, I can't speak for him. 26 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,440 Speaker 1: I'm just happy that he's playing better and uh, he's 27 00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 1: having some success, you know, and then I think he 28 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,319 Speaker 1: was playing poorly before. But just get the production because 29 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,320 Speaker 1: that's part of it. You know, there's a production business, 30 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 1: whether you're coaching, you're playing, whatever it may be, it's 31 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,200 Speaker 1: a production business. And you want to you know, you 32 00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,280 Speaker 1: want to reap the benefits of your hard work. And 33 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,479 Speaker 1: you know, those sacks, the TFLs, you know, being around 34 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 1: the ball, that stuff is part of it. You know, 35 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 1: probably the last time we'll talk to you this season. 36 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 1: We know last year you turned down an interview requested 37 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:42,919 Speaker 1: that coach, Will you take one this year? If somebody 38 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,320 Speaker 1: calls an offers one, it's so harm me. You know, 39 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 1: those jobs, I mean obviously, you know, I mean not obviously, 40 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 1: but the the idea is that one day be a 41 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:52,400 Speaker 1: head coach. A lot of us that get in this 42 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 1: business we want to do that. Um. Again, I can't 43 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 1: really speak on it right now because I mean, you know, 44 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,559 Speaker 1: whatever the situation she is. You know, if someone wants 45 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 1: to talk to me, they want to talk to me, 46 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 1: I'm sure I'll consider it. But right now, again, my 47 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 1: focus is so much on Washington, you know, trying to 48 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 1: figure out the way to win this game, get the 49 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 1: guys in the right spot. But you know I'll be 50 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 1: I would be flattered to have an opportunity, but we'll 51 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 1: see how what comes with it later on. And now 52 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,079 Speaker 1: you just said your focus on Washington. But since we 53 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,080 Speaker 1: won't get you again, list, how do you reflect on 54 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,080 Speaker 1: how the defense played over all the season? When you 55 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 1: when you look at the it starts. It starts with me. 56 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 1: You know, I don't think I did a good enough 57 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 1: job obviously. You know, when you don't get the wins 58 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,760 Speaker 1: that you wanted and you don't, you know, we gotta 59 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:35,640 Speaker 1: do a better job. So it starts with me. You know, 60 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,639 Speaker 1: I got a lot of stuff to reflect on this offseason. 61 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 1: They try to try to get it right, not to 62 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 1: try to get it right. Um, you know I got 63 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,240 Speaker 1: a list of stuff, you know, over by my desk 64 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 1: on my right hand side, stuff I gotta get fixed 65 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 1: in my back. You know, we have these uh dry 66 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 1: race boards that slides, so that backboard has a lot 67 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 1: of the stuff that you know, I'm you on myself about. 68 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 1: So it starts there and then from there just you know, 69 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 1: you know, then you look at the statistical stuff and 70 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 1: some of the analytics stuff, and you know, maybe you know, 71 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:05,959 Speaker 1: like in terms of the calls and everything and what 72 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 1: should work out here. And then the one thing I 73 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,080 Speaker 1: love about the off season, especially when it starts next week, 74 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 1: I love watching the playoff games. You know. Unfortunately, for 75 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 1: the last five years, I haven't been in a playoff game, 76 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,640 Speaker 1: so that that's that's not fun. But um, if I 77 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 1: get to watch the playoff games, because a lot of 78 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: situational football come up, a lot of schemes that maybe 79 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,520 Speaker 1: you haven't seen with the crossover table come up. And again, 80 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 1: you know, you know, good for me. My wife thankfully, 81 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,640 Speaker 1: she likes to watch football, so you know, like, but 82 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 1: it's still work week for me. You know, the weekends 83 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 1: I'm working. Uh you know, you talk to any coach, 84 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 1: is tough to watch those games and not work. So 85 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 1: you're working and trying to pick their brains. And then 86 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 1: from there, I'll probably figure out what team I want 87 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 1: to study, you know what coordinator system. I want to 88 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 1: study and I gotta do a lot of study in 89 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 1: this offseason. I gotta get it right, you know, I 90 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 1: gotta work on the slow start, you know, stuff like that. 91 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 1: Um the two minutes obviously, just a lot of stuff 92 00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 1: to work on, a lot of stuff to work on. 93 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 1: What you mentioned that two men at I lost track? 94 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 1: Its yeah, it's good, you know, you know you ought 95 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 1: to say anything. It's a lot of points in the 96 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 1: two minutes. Why do you think that is? Um again 97 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 1: starts with me? Uh, you know that's part of you know, 98 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 1: again evaluating again. We got one more opportunity this week. 99 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:22,920 Speaker 1: You know, I'm sure two minute before the half will 100 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:24,719 Speaker 1: come up and then you know most games in this 101 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:26,599 Speaker 1: league come down too many at the end of the game. 102 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,719 Speaker 1: So we got another opportunity this week. But you know, 103 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 1: like looking back at it, you know, I mean there's 104 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,480 Speaker 1: probably a number of things, but I know it starts 105 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 1: with me. I gotta get better in that situation, you know, 106 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 1: making sure you know, really you know, emphasized, you know, 107 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 1: attacking their weaknesses and emphasizing our strengths. But you know 108 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:46,480 Speaker 1: a lot of room to grow on that, you know, 109 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 1: you know, learn my lesson this year, and you know, 110 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 1: I'll work to work to improve it next year. I'll 111 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,680 Speaker 1: start pretty soon. And obviously we gotta start this week 112 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 1: because Washington they do some I mean they got into 113 00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 1: two minute twice last time, you know, so that was good. 114 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 1: You know, they got down there in the low ray, 115 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:03,840 Speaker 1: you know that third and three or whatever, like twenty 116 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 1: three seconds they ran the ball in then the one 117 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 1: to get the field goals, so you know, we got 118 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 1: to a fourth down, didn't capitalize on that. So you know, 119 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,600 Speaker 1: just some situational football in there. We've gotta get fixed. 120 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:18,479 Speaker 1: I could ask one big picture coordinator question, what do 121 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 1: you think is the hardest offense to stop? Like what tenants? 122 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,359 Speaker 1: I'm not saying what team I'm saying is it a 123 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 1: one that gets the ball out fast or one that 124 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 1: runs more than it passes? Like I can tell you, 125 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 1: I give you. I mean, I give you specifics just 126 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,280 Speaker 1: over my thirteen year career in the league. The guy 127 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 1: who's giving me, not me, I wasn't a coordinator, but 128 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:41,839 Speaker 1: just as a coach, Kubiak, it didn't matter, it didn't 129 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 1: matter what they would go for three hundred four yards 130 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 1: they you know, so combination of that zone, stretch, play action. 131 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 1: You know, they always did a good job, but you 132 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 1: know they used to murder us. I'm not saying we 133 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 1: would lose every game, but they used the murder. Oh man, 134 00:05:58,320 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 1: I'm telling you, if you give me, you know, give 135 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,480 Speaker 1: drinking enough and I started talking, there's nightmares from those games. 136 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:08,279 Speaker 1: I'd write you remember plays I can remember. Probably you 137 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,600 Speaker 1: can put out Okay, gain the twenty five, like all right, 138 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:14,040 Speaker 1: two thousand and twelve, he stopped. I mean, trust me, 139 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 1: I got some nightmares from klobak Man. Who's he's pretty good. 140 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:21,120 Speaker 1: He's pretty good. You're you're pretty close with Joe. What 141 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 1: do you think of all I mean, you're not oblivious 142 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 1: to what's going on around? Like, what do you think? 143 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 1: What do you think of all the criticism? If he's 144 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,920 Speaker 1: been getting down and including for for that press conference 145 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 1: together that I mean again, I can't speak on the 146 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 1: specifics or anything. I just know this. You know, good leadership, 147 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 1: you know, being able to you know, ignore the noise 148 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 1: and be able to focus that you know I talk 149 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 1: about it before, the emotional stamina to be able to 150 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 1: handle whatever comes their way. I mean again, I'm here 151 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 1: because of Joe. I'm here because of Joe trust and 152 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 1: Joe's vision. Vision. Again, leadership has to have vision and vision. 153 00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,479 Speaker 1: You can't be worried about this stuff, the stuff that 154 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 1: tries to sell track you from there. So again, I 155 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 1: don't pay attention to the criticism. You know, I'm sure 156 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 1: my wife would want to tell me some stuff, but 157 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 1: she keeps that away from me. People text me during 158 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 1: the season. It's hard to get in touch with me 159 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 1: during the season, so I can't really speak on it. Um, 160 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 1: I just know this. I know Joe Strong. He's a 161 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 1: good leader. Um, smart dude, and I mean, he'll handle 162 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 1: it how he needs to handle it. But you know, 163 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 1: to me, just ignoring the noise, that's what you have 164 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 1: to do. You know, one minute, Pat Graham's the worst 165 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 1: defensive coordinator ever in the history of football women. I'm 166 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 1: going to be the head coach or whatever. I'm like, 167 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 1: now I'm the worst coordinator. Again, I'm like, I don't 168 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 1: listen to it. I mean again, obviously might have heard it. 169 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 1: I just you know, regurgitated back to me. But I mean, 170 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 1: but I don't. I don't pay any attention to it. 171 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 1: I know this, I got a long way to go. 172 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 1: I know that. I mean, I hope. I'm not finished 173 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 1: product right now, so I got a long way to go. 174 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 1: So you know, we're just trying to just really ignore it, 175 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 1: you know, really ignore it. Focus on the players, focused 176 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 1: on the opponent. You know, Washington, they got you know, 177 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 1: the quarterbacks playing well. I really like this guy. I 178 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 1: remember seeing them in that game against Tim a Baby 179 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 1: last year the playoffs, and I talked about watching the 180 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,120 Speaker 1: playoff games. I was like, yeah, who is this guy? 181 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 1: You know, like he I mean, and just how he's 182 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 1: done so well this year. So you know, we gotta 183 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 1: we got we got tough opponent this week. So that's 184 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 1: the main focus. Do you feel like this defense as 185 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 1: a whole, you know, took a big picture the end 186 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 1: of this year going into next year is really close 187 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 1: to being like you know, I mean, you're good, your 188 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 1: guys are pretty good, and you're good and stretches. Are 189 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 1: you close to being like a really high end unit 190 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 1: in your mind? I think this, you know, the energy 191 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:35,200 Speaker 1: is good, the work ethic is good. Um, I think 192 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 1: I got some I got I got some improvement I 193 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 1: need to do as a coordinator, as a play caller. 194 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 1: I think I think, you know, sometimes like just like 195 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 1: and again, it goes back to me, the finish, the 196 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,720 Speaker 1: like the finish, we we got finished better like and 197 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:52,720 Speaker 1: and again it starts with me. I called the call, 198 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 1: you know, like, so it starts with me. So I 199 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:56,959 Speaker 1: think that's one thing, you know, like just looking the 200 00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 1: head just you know, that's something that that will help us. 201 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,199 Speaker 1: Like the finish, You finish your opportunities, whether you know 202 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,679 Speaker 1: it's the right call in the third down situation, you know, 203 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 1: whether the pressure, whether or not the pressure, you know, 204 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 1: stuff like that. But are we close? I mean, next 205 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 1: year is such as it's all a new year. I mean, 206 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,440 Speaker 1: this is the last time we're gonna have this group 207 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 1: of guys out there. That's why we gotta enjoy every moment. 208 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 1: You know this this is the last Thursday meeting. I'm 209 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,080 Speaker 1: gonna half with the guys. Tomorrow is the last Friday meeting. 210 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 1: Today's the last Thursday practice. And you know, you think 211 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,440 Speaker 1: about it gets kind of sad sometimes because you know 212 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:28,680 Speaker 1: you're not gonna see the whole group again. And no 213 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:32,960 Speaker 1: matter again, it's a business. We're playing football, we're coaching football. 214 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 1: But I spend more time with them than I do 215 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 1: my family. So you know, you get close with these guys. 216 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 1: And you know, I know me personally, you know, like 217 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 1: me personally, I do this because of them. That's why 218 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,080 Speaker 1: I get my energy. I draw my energy from the players. 219 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:50,560 Speaker 1: You know. I know I'm pretty grumpy, cranky, miserable dude 220 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,079 Speaker 1: for most parts. So for my family and these players, 221 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:55,200 Speaker 1: and you know, I just want success for him. You know, 222 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 1: That's why I get like, you know, I get upset 223 00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 1: about stuff because I just wanted to be successful. I 224 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 1: want I want Leo to win games. I want JB 225 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 1: to win games. They all the work they put on 226 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 1: putting it out here. I wanted to win games. I 227 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,320 Speaker 1: wanted to reap the rewards of all their hard work. 228 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 1: So that's when, you know, the disappointment sets in. And 229 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 1: then when you start to get towards the end of 230 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,680 Speaker 1: the year, you know, and we didn't get to what 231 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,319 Speaker 1: we want to get to, you know, it gets a 232 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:21,080 Speaker 1: little sad. But like, are we close? I mean, who knows? 233 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 1: Next year is so different? You know, I just know this, 234 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:25,679 Speaker 1: I gotta get better. And I'm sure they're thinking they 235 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 1: gotta get better because it wasn't good enough to tell 236 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 1: you that much. So I mean close, not good enough. 237 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:35,080 Speaker 1: I mean, you're either good and you hold that trophy 238 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 1: at the end, or it wasn't good enough. That's again, 239 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 1: I know there's in between again the sin of when 240 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,439 Speaker 1: you win the thing one time, that's all that matters. 241 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:51,320 Speaker 1: All that matters. Sorry, a few cents, any uncertainty on 242 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,720 Speaker 1: the staff about whether the plug is gonna get pulled 243 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 1: on this. We coach football in the NFL since the 244 00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 1: moment I saw my first contract two thousand nine, when 245 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,079 Speaker 1: Bill called me in the office and I signed my contract, 246 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:07,320 Speaker 1: I knew I was. I knew. I knew then not 247 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:09,439 Speaker 1: for long. All that stuff that coaches tell you, that's 248 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,320 Speaker 1: how it is. I mean, so I can't speak about 249 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,679 Speaker 1: this particular situation or anything like that. I just know 250 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 1: how I operate, operate, just hoping boom, just like my 251 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,839 Speaker 1: car to get in cool, you know, Like I mean, 252 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:21,680 Speaker 1: I'm still I'm here for another day, and I just 253 00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 1: worked hard for that day. Again, I think when you 254 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 1: learn the focus on the day, you're not worried about 255 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 1: that stuff. And I know there's stories to be written 256 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 1: and there's stuff I get. I'm not trying to be 257 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,520 Speaker 1: disrespectful to the question or anything like that, but in 258 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:36,800 Speaker 1: terms of how I operate and I know how a 259 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 1: lot of the coaches operate is day to day. I'm 260 00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,120 Speaker 1: focused on Washington right now. Figure out a way how 261 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,080 Speaker 1: to stop twenty four, figure out how the way to 262 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,840 Speaker 1: limit seventeen on Sunday, you know, figure out the way 263 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,560 Speaker 1: to keep the quarterback from screaming all over the place 264 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 1: and throwing these passes behind his ear and whatever he's doing. Man, 265 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:53,560 Speaker 1: this guy is completing a lot of balls. So that 266 00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:55,480 Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's what's keeping me up right now.
