We have to get better. So but it 37 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 1: was cool here and coach, you know, sort of congratulate us, 38 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 1: but also there's. 39 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:41,440 Speaker 6: A lot of work to be done. So let's people. 40 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 1: Like, Yeah, I think that was you know, awesome that 41 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:52,880 Speaker 1: he did that, because the last couple of years, you know, 42 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 1: the culture and the teams that we've had, that was 43 00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 1: a realistic goal to go attack the first seed, go 44 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 1: make deep into the playoffs, go make it to the 45 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 1: super Bowl. 46 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 6: Win it. 47 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 1: Like those are great goals and realistic, you know. This year, 48 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 1: I think it was just really cool for him to 49 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 1: understand our team where we're at, and you know, the 50 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 1: turnover and all that kind of thing and being real 51 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,360 Speaker 1: with uh, the older guys that have been here and 52 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:17,359 Speaker 1: the challenge of hey man, like we got to win 53 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,240 Speaker 1: some some gritty games, you know, early in the year, 54 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:21,519 Speaker 1: in the middle of the season, and then late in 55 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 1: the year and see where we're at when when it's 56 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 1: all said and done. So I think it's just been 57 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 1: really cool because that's been our mindset, like we just 58 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 1: take it one week at a time. We haven't been 59 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 1: getting wrapped up in the playoff picture. 60 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 6: Or anything like that. 61 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 1: And then you know, once we just handle business one 62 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:36,360 Speaker 1: week at a time, we're sitting in a good spot. 63 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 1: So that's just really good coaching on his part and 64 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,080 Speaker 1: and you could see his experience coaching and stuff to 65 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 1: be able to relay that to all the guys. 66 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 2: You guys a big series of games before like. 67 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 1: No, man, I think it's putting pressure on myself, you know, 68 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 1: every every drive before I go out there, like hey man, 69 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: like go out it's one play at a time. 70 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 6: Every play has a life of its own, but put 71 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 6: pressure on. 72 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 1: Yourself to to be detailed, do the fundamentals right. And 73 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,799 Speaker 1: it's like living in that kind of mindset rather than 74 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,239 Speaker 1: trying to make stuff up or just say, hey, let's 75 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,640 Speaker 1: get into a rhythm here. It's like, actually take action 76 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 1: in that. So that's been my mindset. And then obviously 77 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:24,800 Speaker 1: to be able to win games like we have and 78 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: put put a streak together, it's great and all, but 79 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 1: you know, we don't get wrapped up in that like 80 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,080 Speaker 1: we have to l legit, watch the film, get better 81 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 1: and go blue collar win it the next week. 82 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 6: That's our mindset. 83 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 1: The difference for you, We'll be honestly, it sort of 84 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 1: hit me like, dang, Like all I've heard since I've 85 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 1: been here is we got to make it to the 86 00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 1: super Bowl, and I've looked at that like, let's go. 87 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 1: We got a great em to go do it. I 88 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 1: just gotta be on top of my job and do 89 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 1: my part and we're gonna roll. And then so just 90 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 1: hearing Kyle say that, you know, early in the offseason, 91 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 1: for me, it was like, all right, like we gotta 92 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 1: find ways, uh to win games, like I said, early 93 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,279 Speaker 1: in the season, middle and late, and it's not always 94 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 1: gonna be pretty. 95 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 6: You know. 96 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 1: Since I've been here, early in my career, we were 97 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 1: you know, dominating teams and the game was basically over 98 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. And so now it's like, you know, 99 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:26,479 Speaker 1: we gotta find ways to win all the way to 100 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,599 Speaker 1: all the way through the very end and and keep 101 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 1: stacking those wins. So you never take a win for 102 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:33,840 Speaker 1: granted in the NFL, and that's something that I've learned 103 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:34,839 Speaker 1: in the last two years. 104 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 6: So I don't know. 105 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,279 Speaker 1: I think when he told told us that, I start 106 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,279 Speaker 1: of started to get my mind wrapped around for the 107 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 1: type of season that we've. 108 00:04:41,080 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 2: Had few years ago. It's okay, but a lot RhoD different. 109 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 2: I mean, have you grown. I guess that you know, 110 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 2: you know. 111 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:12,599 Speaker 1: Just in that party mentally, and yeah, I would say, so, 112 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 1: you know, not letting the environment or the situation of 113 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 1: the season and the game dictate how I go out 114 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 1: and think throughout a game. I feel like right now 115 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,039 Speaker 1: it's you know, I gotta be my best one player 116 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,599 Speaker 1: at a time, be smart with our team and where 117 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 1: we're at, but also like still have the chip on 118 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 1: my shoulder to go attack and so it's all of 119 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 1: that not you know, that Christmas game a couple of 120 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 1: years ago, it was like, man, we're Christmas Monday night 121 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 1: MVP talk like, hit a couple of completions early in 122 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 1: the game, felt good, and then after that I'm getting 123 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 1: complacent with going through my reads and stuff and making 124 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 1: the right decisions. So definitely have learned from that, but 125 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 1: you know, there's always still a room for improvement. Can 126 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 1: you guys talk about you know, trying to get. 127 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 2: Focusing on what special season this would be? 128 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, I think that's obviously the reality of 129 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 1: what could happen if we just take it one game 130 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,040 Speaker 1: at a time. But you know, for us, you know, 131 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,040 Speaker 1: once we get into the playoffs and everything too, that's 132 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 1: gonna be a brawl in itself. 133 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 6: So that's a whole nother road for us. Man, we 134 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:15,839 Speaker 6: gotta go. 135 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 1: We gotta go put on a good showcase and win 136 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 1: the game on Sunday against Chicago. So I think that's 137 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 1: where we're at right now. We gotta watch this film 138 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 1: get better from it. But you know, more than anything, 139 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 1: it's how can we be our best going into playoffs? 140 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 6: You want to play good football going into the tournament. 141 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 2: So you're a good teach. 142 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:50,839 Speaker 1: You yeah, I mean obviously, you know when we watch 143 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,839 Speaker 1: like the What It Takes Uh film earlier in the week, 144 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,280 Speaker 1: like uh, even the gaming against Seattle, Like Philip Rivers 145 00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,280 Speaker 1: is going through his reads, He's he's moving the ball 146 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 1: like smart with the ball. 147 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 6: Uh Physically obviously, it was like you could see that, you. 148 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 1: Know, he needed to get a little bit more uh 149 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,719 Speaker 1: just more on his throws or whatnot in certain instances. 150 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 1: But outside of that, man, he's playing quarterback at a 151 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 1: high level, like making decisions and stuff. 152 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 6: So when I saw him doing that the first. 153 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 1: Couple of drives, I was like, I mean, that's that's 154 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 1: a Hall of Fame quarterback, right. They're like going through 155 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 1: his reads and making it pay. So for me, it 156 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 1: was how can we go and be our best on 157 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 1: offense every drive and go uh you know, just the 158 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 1: beginning of the drive to go score, like that's our 159 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 1: mindset every drive, So especially when you're going against a 160 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 1: gully philip rivers.

You play the game because you 179 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:36,840 Speaker 5: love football and uh, you know, you love playing with 180 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 5: your teammates and going out there and competing. But you know, 181 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 5: anytime you hear stuff like that, it is cool. 182 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:41,560 Speaker 4: You know. 183 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 5: I I don't take it for granted. And to be 184 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 5: mentioned with guys like that's a huge onre for me. 185 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:50,839 Speaker 2: You feel like the most people, I. 186 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 4: Don't know, I'd have to go back and look, I 187 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:52,960 Speaker 4: i'd I know that. 188 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,320 Speaker 5: You know, when you know, when we can not punt 189 00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,320 Speaker 5: and continue to move the ball and uh finish with 190 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 5: touchdowns instead of a field goals, you know, I think 191 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 5: it's you know, it's a big deal. And and just 192 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 5: again I think I give all the credit to those 193 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,200 Speaker 5: guys up front and Brock doing his job and receivers 194 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 5: getting open. You know, I think that's that's really when 195 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 5: when that's rolling, and Brock's doing this thing, and the 196 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,320 Speaker 5: old line is doing what they're doing. It's it's a 197 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 5: fun offense to be a part of because we have 198 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:21,320 Speaker 5: the staff that can scheme things up. 199 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 4: XT guys, this is your team. 200 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 3: I mean, it's a good question. I just think, you know, 201 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:45,679 Speaker 3: there's a lot a lot of things were going on 202 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 3: last year, so I think it was a lot deeper 203 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 3: than just having a team together, you. 204 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 6: Know, so. 205 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 3: You know, it's always been a next man up league. 206 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 3: But you know, I really can't really just put my 207 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,600 Speaker 3: finger on it. Just they like, you know, we're doing 208 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:03,720 Speaker 3: this more than we did last year. Obviously I wouldn't. 209 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,440 Speaker 3: I didn't play a lot of games last year, so 210 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:08,920 Speaker 3: it's hard for me to give you like a full analysis. 211 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:12,839 Speaker 3: But you know, I think just this year, I think 212 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 3: we we understand like it's not gonna be given to us. 213 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:17,959 Speaker 3: Think you think coming off the super Bowl, like you're 214 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,840 Speaker 3: just gonna be right back there or even close, And 215 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 3: you know, maybe that knocked the edge off a little bit. 216 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:26,559 Speaker 3: And this year is kind of like, no matter what 217 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:27,960 Speaker 3: what kind of team we got, we know we gotta 218 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 3: go out there and play the game. Now, I'm just 219 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 3: saying it was just a lot. Like I said, we 220 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:40,200 Speaker 3: had the Super Bowl loss. You know, I myself wasn't 221 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,160 Speaker 3: at camp. You know, just a lot going on. 222 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:52,560 Speaker 4: In the streets, of course. 223 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean just you know, when you're in a huddle, 224 00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 3: you know it's only one voice speaking, right, and you 225 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:04,200 Speaker 3: got ten grown men staring at you, and you know 226 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 3: you can't fool grown men, right. And the confidence that 227 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 3: he has in that huddle no matter what phase of 228 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 3: the game, you know, those long play calls, just getting 229 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:20,079 Speaker 3: everybody where they need to be. I mean, he he 230 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:22,360 Speaker 3: from A to Z. He does it at a really 231 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 3: high level. And he I say it all the time. 232 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 3: He's a guy saying man for us to get him 233 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,360 Speaker 3: where we got him at. Obviously he's he's getting what 234 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,920 Speaker 3: he deserves now. But you know, you can't even tell 235 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:35,960 Speaker 3: he's still the same guy, still the same guy from 236 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,199 Speaker 3: his rookie year. And he's just a baller man. 237 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:50,840 Speaker 2: He also pin of he pay a little bit like 238 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:54,040 Speaker 2: you or. 239 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,600 Speaker 3: I mean, you play the game to win the Super Bowl, right, 240 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:02,840 Speaker 3: There's no place, there's no third place, no consolation prize. 241 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 3: So I think every team feels like if we can't 242 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:07,959 Speaker 3: win the Super Bowl, it's like, there's no way I 243 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 3: can call this season of success. So I call it 244 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 3: a bus And I wouldn't call it a bus. I 245 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,360 Speaker 3: think that's a harsh term. But the goal is to 246 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 3: compete for a super Bowl, and you know, if you're 247 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:20,840 Speaker 3: not doing that, then I don't think you can say 248 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:22,600 Speaker 3: that you accomplish the goals you set out too. 249 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:24,559 Speaker 2: Okay, you feel like. 250 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 3: I mean for me personally, because I was I was 251 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,559 Speaker 3: here right last year. It's hard for me to put 252 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 3: my finger on it because I was away. But this year, 253 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 3: you know, like I said, I think it was just 254 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 3: we knew that, like we had the team that can compete, 255 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 3: but we knew it. It wasn't gonna be one of those 256 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 3: things we just walked through everybody how we did in 257 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,160 Speaker 3: twenty three. We knew that we was gonna have to, 258 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 3: you know, ride together a little bit tighter. We was 259 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,320 Speaker 3: gonna have to, you know, play a little harder, and 260 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 3: he's gonna have to you know, we're gonna have to 261 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,840 Speaker 3: make plays, big time players to make big time money. 262 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,000 Speaker 3: Was gonna gonna have to make plays. It wasn't gonna 263 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,640 Speaker 3: be a season or where we can defer to anybody, right, 264 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:08,480 Speaker 3: you gotta you gotta have your best players playing their best, 265 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 3: So I think that's the difference. But like I said, 266 00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:13,520 Speaker 3: it's hard for me to tell you that that wasn't 267 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 3: the case last year because I wasn't here. 268 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,840 Speaker 6: Well, happy have you been through both ways? 269 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 4: Both seeds road all for Disney? 270 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 5: You got. 271 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 3: It's really important. It's important. It's not end all, be all, 272 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:36,840 Speaker 3: but it's definitely important. You know, we got two playoff 273 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 3: teams coming up, so I'm just more excited to see 274 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,560 Speaker 3: how we match up. Can we continue to play the 275 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,280 Speaker 3: football that we're proud of, the football that we played tonight, 276 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 3: you know, cause it's a great chance that we could 277 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:52,440 Speaker 3: see one of those two teams in the playoffs as well. 278 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:56,440 Speaker 3: So you know, I'm not really the number one seed. Obviously, 279 00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:58,320 Speaker 3: it's a it's a path to that, but it's not 280 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,560 Speaker 3: the number one thing and our mind right now, especially 281 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 3: in my mind, I just think we need to get 282 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,320 Speaker 3: to the point where we're playing the football that we 283 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 3: know can win football games, and we take that into 284 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:23,520 Speaker 3: the playoffs, anything can happen together. Mentality said, Yeah, for sure, 285 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:27,400 Speaker 3: I think it brought us closer together, you know, But 286 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 3: I'll be lying to tell you that it. It didn't 287 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 3: affect us, it affected us. It affected everybody. I'm seeing 288 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 3: your leader, the best linebacker in the game on the 289 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:40,560 Speaker 3: ground hearing that. You know, yeah, one of your other leaders, 290 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 3: Nick Bosa, one of the best ends in the league, 291 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 3: as torn as Ac. It's it's really hard to take 292 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 3: that and just say right, next man up. You know, 293 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:51,520 Speaker 3: I'll be sitting here line if I told you that 294 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:53,400 Speaker 3: was the case. But you know, I think it brought 295 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 3: us closer together. You know, it gave other guys a 296 00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,200 Speaker 3: chance to step up, and you know, guys like Tatum. 297 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 3: We're really happy for him.
