1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:05,280
Speaker 1: When you lose your two starting offensive tackles on the

2
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:10,119
Speaker 1: opening series, what's going through your mind? Do you? I mean,

3
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:13,680
Speaker 1: do you stop right there and say, do I need

4
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 1: to sequence things differently? Do I need to call it different?

5
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 1: Lead I had to just go through the same way?

6
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:23,279
Speaker 1: Or what's the process with that? Yep? Obviously something you

7
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 1: gotta be aware of moving forward, obviously, Uh, okay, you

8
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 1: don't want to see Zach and Cam both go down.

9
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,159
Speaker 1: Obviously something you have to be conscious up and monitor

10
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 1: throughout the rest of the game. And also getting to

11
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 1: that the fourth and one call late in the in

12
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 1: the second quarter, what what was the call there? What

13
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 1: were you looking for? What did you get? And just

14
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:52,840
Speaker 1: what was the rationale for throwing on that play rather

15
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 1: than running in that situation? Yeah? Yeah, I felt like

16
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 1: I had a good opportunity on the outside one on

17
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: one opportunity, spelt good about our perimeter. Uh, just to

18
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: get a completion, good first down and move on. Obviously

19
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:08,040
Speaker 1: look at it again, maybe maybe run the ball. Obviously

20
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 1: that's your other opportunity there. Uh, it's certainly a h

21
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 1: end up being you know, really really within a yard

22
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 1: and so certainly had an opportunity potentially to run the

23
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 1: ball there. Did you guys feel you were limited because

24
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 1: of you know, loss of Zach and and and Cam

25
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 1: that you you had to do some things to trick

26
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: them up. Um, I think it's some of you obviously. Yeah,

27
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 1: you gotta be aware of it. Um, you know, I

28
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: mean I got five first round picks up front, so

29
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,040
Speaker 1: they obviously got a lot of talent invested in that group.

30
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: And certainly, yeah, you want to do your best not

31
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: to um give them momentum with regards to that getting

32
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 1: into you know, long drawn out play action passes. Uh,

33
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 1: just because of you know, the talent they have upfront, rightfully,

34
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 1: so and so yeah, I felt like we still still

35
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: had some opportunities in there and uh just weren't able

36
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: to uh, you know, sustain drives, finish drives, and uh execute.

37
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: I know you're you're not part of a pleasant teams,

38
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: but on on the on the fake punt, I don't

39
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 1: know if you're part of the coaching of ceedee lamb,

40
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 1: I'm not CC Wilson. Is that a tough decision for

41
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 1: him to make? His receiver trying to decide, you know,

42
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,639
Speaker 1: can I make this throw to this receiver and or

43
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: to this wide open guy and having a gown on

44
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: the edge, you know, coming at him. How tough is

45
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:35,639
Speaker 1: that before receiver have to make that call. Yeah, obviously

46
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 1: those are challenging situations because those aren't situations they live

47
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:42,920
Speaker 1: every day. I haven't seen the I would be a

48
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:44,919
Speaker 1: bad judge on the fake punt just because I haven't

49
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: seen the full clip. Obviously kind of glanced at it

50
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 1: from the big screen during the game. But uh, you

51
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 1: know CD had had one obviously when we called ours

52
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 1: on the offensive side, and uh, you know, it's challenging thing.

53
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 1: You know, they have an opportunity potentially to throw it away.

54
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 1: But you know, obviously you want to give those guys

55
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 1: an opportunity to potentially make a play like CD. Uh,

56
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,080
Speaker 1: I think he gets the ball spacey, so you know,

57
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 1: try to turn into a essentially a reverse for you there,

58
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 1: and uh, yeah, obviously he's got You know, those are

59
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 1: all part of there's risks with everything, and uh, you know,

60
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: you gotta give yourself an opportunity at times to call

61
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: a couple of those and see what happens. Kellen, you've

62
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 1: been with this team longer than most of the coaching staff.

63
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,239
Speaker 1: Can you talk us through how difficult. It was losing

64
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: Marcus this week and some of your experiences with him. Yeah, yeah,

65
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: obviously a challenging situation for everyone. Um, Marx is a

66
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: awesome person first and foremost that Uh, I think it

67
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: was just an inspiration for all of us, just the

68
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 1: you know, he was a positive, encouraging guy who won

69
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 1: the best out of everyone. And uh, you know, I

70
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 1: think you know certainly had an impact on this place

71
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 1: and will for a long long time as a coach.

72
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 1: Was the key for you balancing your player's mental health

73
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: and trying to be supportive for them while also making

74
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 1: sure everyone's ready to go game time. Yeah, biggest, biggest

75
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 1: challenge for everyone this week. Um, not easy, and uh yeah,

76
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: I think I think it's it's uh yeah, it is.

77
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: It is what it is, and uh it's probably not

78
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 1: a great way of saying it, but uh, you know,

79
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: it's it's. It was a challenge for everyone, and obviously, uh,

80
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: you know, from the emotional standpoint, from the preparation standpoint

81
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 1: of it for a football game, obviously it was a challenge.

82
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 1: I think, uh, you know, some hopefully you know, guys

83
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: got a little tighter. I think you had a little

84
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,280
Speaker 1: bit of reality check of perspective on life, and uh,

85
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: you know, I think hopefully something positive can come out

86
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: of it, just from the standpoint of, you know, recognizing

87
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: where time is and in this uh, in this whole thing. Uh,

88
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 1: you never know how much time and hopefully take advantage

89
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 1: of opportunities and you know, take care of each other

90
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 1: and help each other and support each other. I don't

91
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: know how to transition the football off that colling, but

92
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 1: when you look at offensive football, how is red zone

93
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: at the top of the lift they're down more important?

94
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: What how do you what would you put that in?

95
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: And what will you put the issues on the red zone?

96
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 1: Yesterday on Yes, it's it's situational football. Uh. Obviously, first one,

97
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 1: I feel like I didn't I didn't call it good

98
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:37,280
Speaker 1: the game of situational football. Um, obviously that's that's my perspective. Um.

99
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 1: But obviously, yeah, short yards, third down, red zone, Yet

100
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,720
Speaker 1: we gotta those are situational all first second down is

101
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 1: what it is. You want to do your best, Yeah,

102
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 1: you know, we always talked about it. If you want

103
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 1: to be a good, good team to take care of

104
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 1: first a second down. But inevitably those situations will come

105
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 1: up and we've got we've got to find a way

106
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,280
Speaker 1: to uh, you know, finish drives on. You know, I'll

107
00:05:56,360 --> 00:06:00,479
Speaker 1: drive myself crazy like uh like it's it kind of

108
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: is when when things don't go well. Uh, you know,

109
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: plenty of situations you can you can replay a million

110
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: times and uh potentially look at you know, other alternatives

111
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 1: or you know, whether whether you leave the call on

112
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: or maybe you gotta look look for something else. So

113
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 1: you just go through all that process this time and uh,

114
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: hopefully we can we can grow from it and um,

115
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 1: you know, find find some opportunities to getting better and improve.

116
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 1: This might be two elementary, but are you a lot

117
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: like the US or fans When a play doesn't work

118
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 1: you say, well I should have done the exact opposite

119
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 1: of that, or do you stick with your reasoning as

120
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 1: the know that you call was good the executions for

121
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 1: how do you work through the emotions of thinking the

122
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: plan is good but the play didn't work out? Yeah,

123
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: I think you go through both. It's probably you know, uh,

124
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,239
Speaker 1: you know, similar to the stages of grief. There's uh,

125
00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: there's two stages where you feel like, you know, that

126
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 1: was a stupid play call, Uh should have maybe gone

127
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 1: to something else maybe, you know, because a lot of

128
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:06,479
Speaker 1: times you're looking at you know, maybe two calls that

129
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: you're trying to make a decision on rather quickly and

130
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: in a few seconds, and uh you know, sometimes you

131
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 1: look at Okay, maybe maybe you could have gone with

132
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 1: the other one than maybe you think, you know, still

133
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 1: get us up too, we still have another down after it,

134
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 1: or whatever the circumstance may be. I think, obviously, you know,

135
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 1: I think the biggest challenge is not to uh, you know,

136
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 1: relive it five or a million times and uh, you know,

137
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 1: it is what it is, and there's more opportunities throughout

138
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 1: that game to you know, have have some uh some

139
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: plays go our way and uh you to just continue

140
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 1: to hopefully grow from go go through that process and

141
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 1: you know, we'll learn and U find a way. Kellen,

142
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 1: you all have had such trouble developing consistency in the

143
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: Running game, and that's something that this organization has leaned

144
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: on for quite a while. Where do you put number

145
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 1: one on the list of that issue? Would you say

146
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 1: it's the offensive line or maybe those early games where

147
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 1: you got behind? How do you assess that? Yeah, I

148
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: think I think it's hard to I mean, I don't

149
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 1: think it's I don't think you've pinned down to one thing. Um,

150
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 1: you know, circumstances the games. Obviously it was a great

151
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 1: example just not being able to get rush attempts, you know,

152
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 1: certainly early in the season when we had the help

153
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 1: of those goofy games. Uh. Obviously the personnel has been

154
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 1: uh yeah, there's there's just a lot of things, you know,

155
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 1: Obviously personnel has evolved. Uh. You know, I think, uh,

156
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 1: I think there's moments where we get that thing going

157
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 1: and we built some momentum, and I think, you know,

158
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 1: you got to build on that, and you gotta focus

159
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 1: on that, and uh, you can continue to look at

160
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 1: the other things where hey we can get a little

161
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 1: better here, a little better there. Uh, but hopefully find

162
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:51,440
Speaker 1: those moments of optimism, hopefully grow with those, develop those,

163
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 1: build off those, and uh, you know we can we

164
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 1: can get that run game going more consistently. And he's

165
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 1: getting back in now for a couple of games after

166
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: the absence. How would you assess the way he played

167
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 1: yesterday and the opportunity he gives you guys to win

168
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 1: going forward. Yeah, yeah, I thought, uh, you know, Andy

169
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 1: execute obviously, you know, we all want more points on

170
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 1: the board. But you know, I thought he execute Obviously

171
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:23,079
Speaker 1: it's unfortunate for the interception at the end. Uh the

172
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 1: guy makes a phenomenal play and he gets stuck with

173
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 1: that that interception on on the you know the stat

174
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 1: sheet which is which is a frustrated one. I think,

175
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 1: you know, certainly for for Andy because uh yeah, I

176
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 1: think he was executing. He's getting completions. It's kind of

177
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: how we had to play that thing, give his main

178
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 1: completions as we could keep moving the ball down field.

179
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, um coming back from not being

180
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,680
Speaker 1: able to play, for not really being really able to

181
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 1: do a whole lot for about almost three weeks there,

182
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: Uh you know, the last two weeks, I think he's

183
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:56,559
Speaker 1: he's certainly given us an opportunity to to win these

184
00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 1: games and put us in position. Kellen, when you get

185
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 1: to those third and shorts and fourth and ones, why

186
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 1: not look at Zeke Elliott a little bit more in

187
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 1: some of those situations yesterday? What's that? Sorry? Oh sorry?

188
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:15,319
Speaker 1: When you get into a third and short and a

189
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 1: fourth and inches and those kinds of things, especially yesterday,

190
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 1: why not look at Zeke Elliott a little bit more

191
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 1: in those situations. Oh, yeah, No, I think it's it's

192
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 1: absolutely fair, certainly something. Yeah, you're watching and reliving a

193
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 1: million times, and game happens fast and sometimes uh, you know,

194
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 1: maybe an opportunity to give him a couple more uh

195
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 1: in those situations and uh, you know, try and grind

196
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: out of the yard or two CD. How about you

197
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 1: assists how he played against Washington yesterday. Did you get

198
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 1: a lot more attention than normal when you look at

199
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 1: the tape? Yeah, I played finally young battle like all

200
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,199
Speaker 1: these guys. Uh, you know, we hadn't had an opportunity

201
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,199
Speaker 1: here and there where they were like the outcome to

202
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:00,559
Speaker 1: be a little bit different, but you know, we just

203
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 1: gotta keep keep fighting, keep battling. Uh. Appreciate the heck

204
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 1: out of him. I think he's a trends player and

205
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 1: he's uh, it's gonna be a good cowboy for a

206
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:12,320
Speaker 1: really long time. Oh and obviously what happened on Tuesday

207
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 1: morning was deeply, if a whole for everyone in the organization.

208
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 1: How did you process it from the time of like,

209
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 1: how did you hear what had happened to Marcus? How

210
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 1: did you come aware of it? And just from from

211
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 1: that point forward, over the course of the day, how

212
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: did you kind of go through processing it. Yeah. Yeah,

213
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 1: we were just up in the offices. We were about

214
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 1: ready to start meetings and uh, Mike was actually in here,

215
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 1: uh coach McCarthy. We're talking over some stuff, and then

216
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 1: word came up this way to you know, something's going on,

217
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: and so obviously processing really really there's a lot of unknown,

218
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 1: I think for a couple hours for guys, and so

219
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 1: you know, it's a scary part of it. There's just

220
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:57,199
Speaker 1: a lot of unknown. And then uh, once Mike made

221
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: a decision, you know, once I think there's a little

222
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 1: bit of understand the circumstances. I think, you know, I

223
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 1: think Mike obviously made the right decision to everyone, you know,

224
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 1: wherever you need to be, you know, copious family and whatnot,

225
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 1: and uh, yeah, I think it's just, uh it's one

226
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,440
Speaker 1: of those things. Uh we go home, you know, the

227
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,559
Speaker 1: hugs are a little bit tighter with the the wife

228
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 1: and kids and all that sort of stuff, and uh,

229
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 1: you know, you appreciate those things, and you know, I

230
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 1: think guys, obviously I think handled the best we could

231
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:35,680
Speaker 1: and you know, continue to uh you know handle also

232
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:37,959
Speaker 1: the short week of it, so you know it was

233
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 1: a balance net for sure for all of us. Mental

234
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 1: health is such a reported component in general, but I

235
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 1: think with the pandemic social distancing, I think everyone's been

236
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 1: reminded about that, with what happened with Marcus, with the holidays,

237
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 1: with everything that has come with just being a difficult year.

238
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,719
Speaker 1: How do you make sure that mental health is a

239
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 1: part already for you, for your fellow coaches, for your players. UM,

240
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,320
Speaker 1: what does it look like to make sure that everyone's

241
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 1: taking care of themselves in that way? That's right? Yeah,

242
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 1: twenty twenty, uh is what it is. It's a crazy year. Uh,

243
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:18,439
Speaker 1: there's a million different things, uh, you know, certainly a

244
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 1: lot of challenges. Uh, you know, but UH, I think

245
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 1: I think just the support this UH organization has for everyone,

246
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 1: the uh, the bonds that the team's forming in some

247
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,719
Speaker 1: unique circumstances, like you said, where you can't be as

248
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:33,440
Speaker 1: close maybe as you want to, you can't spend as

249
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,679
Speaker 1: much time together as you want to. UH, new staff,

250
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 1: you know, very much a lot of new players, and

251
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 1: so I think we've been doing doing our best to

252
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 1: you know, grow those bonds together and uh and support

253
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 1: each other. And I think this organization has you know

254
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:52,200
Speaker 1: a lot of resources obviously and support for guys and

255
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,199
Speaker 1: uh I think certainly that that helps helps where we are.

256
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 1: Thanks coming for your time. We appreciate it all right.

257
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 1: Thanks for going, Thanks Kelling, Thank you all right, and

258
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 1: we should have Mike Nolan calling in right now as

259
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 1: well
